[@Barracius]

I am once again asking you to take the fossil opposite the one you say you took. Just to see who notices.

[@ErtaiCZ]

Someone would... not me, but someone

[@JD-zp4vn]

That would be funny, but he has done out of script for his fossil bit every once in a while.

[@DefinitelyNotAFerret]

People would spoil it in the ocmments

[@SkullHeartXPop]

He has

[@Crispyconcerto]

I wanted to comment this but I didn't want to check if he'd taken the dome fossil before so I left it

[@AmazingGlaceon935]

Nidoran was helpful this run, but I was surprised when Nidoran went that crazy. Nidoran really pulled the weight for Nidoran.

[@loppie_445]

Real Nidoran was so good

[@___________0Z0X]

MEOWTH, THAT’S RIGHT!

[@Enoxix.]

Yeah! Nidoran was the GOAT!

[@relishcakes4525]

Bro but did you SEE nidoran?!

[@GMO409]

Yeah but Nidoran was the real carry

[@muffinland]

"3 Minutes FEELS like forever when you're in a chip battle with an Onix that's locked into Gen 1 rage" is an all-time MDB quote.

[@JJ-it7cz]

"Hitmonchamp" is such a wild and hilarious slip up

[@cuppy6000]

i cant believe that in the last few challenges Blane goes on his redemption arc and actually starts winning fights

[@mr_snrub]

Koga going for the throne

[@___________0Z0X]

You really will need burn heal.

[@chrisjohnsen8448]

We need to demand you call Machamp Hitmonchamp in every game now.

[@Lebon19]

Yes, like Water Onix for Gyarados.

[@matthewgallaway3675]

New Water Onix

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

​@@Lebon19 And Snowbama.

[@jonsmith5058]

I really hope not, jokes like water Onix are painfully stale at this point and werent very funny to start with, adding another ‘joke’ will just compound the issue.

[@151monka]

​@@jonsmith5058 many people, myself included, love the in-jokes, references, etc. because we are 'in' on them, and it can add another layer of fun comedy to things, because it is like being rewarded for having seen the prior content

[@steampunkfox4932]

Maybe Koga intentionally through the fight so he could spend more time with his daughter

[@domain2genus]

I'd like to see you take on a Pokémon Gold using only a team of branched evolution pokémon. So Eevee, Slowpoke, Gloom, Tyrogue, and Poliwhirl. I just think that'd be neat.

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

Yeah but those Pokémon are pretty good by MDB standards so it’d be a sweep of dynamic strategy

[@patg148]

It's funny that all the branched evolutions are gen1/2 mons (except eevee)

[@zachogg4787]

​@patg148 ser, what Gen are espeon and umbreon?

[@Earthboundmike]

But Eevee showed up in gen 1... how do you figure lol. Every one of the pokemon he mentioned there aside from Tyrogue literally were in gen 1 first and got the branch in 2. And of course, Tyrogue is the baby of the hitmons. Which also got an extra branch technically in 2. Is it cuz Eevee got more branches later? Because I don't think that changes that Eevee was a gen 1 mon.

[@ie2304]

⁠@@EarthboundmikeI think they meant that all of the others are cross-gen evolutions, but so is Eevee? Maybe because Eevee also has evolutionary relatives from generations 4 and 6, while the others only feature generations 1 and 2 in their lines?

[@servien9683]

Hitmonchan . . . . Machamp . . .DNA digivole into hitmonchamp!

[@matthewgallaway3675]

Pokémon Infinite Fusion

[@Werewolve100]

Do more tag teams please! Zangoos and seviper or vanilite and lickitung would ve super fun!

[@beauvogames]

Fingers crossed for Seviper and Zangoose tag team run 🤞

[@williamoelschlager2345]

I must say it is nice that almost every Saturday for 2 year I have had these videos to watch. Thank you for your hard work.

[@Nick_Slavik]

OH! MDB! I saw a reference to your challenge runs in a community post on Kyle Hill's channel! I thought it was awesome to see 🙂

[@joseftaylor4494]

MDB I’ve been watching you ever since Covid started and I want to say thank you for all the videos you make man keep up the great work and keep those challenges coming

[@thegameingtreeme9457]

I can't wait until he uses the water bug type water strider pokemon from gen 3 with a base stat total of 269 (I want you to use surskit)

[@nunudolonia542]

It's always fun to see how different the same run can be between generations, it's also surprising just how much the TM moveset of the Nido lines does even when unevolved. Week 2 of requesting a challenge run with only one Swablu!

[@Dansedrengen]

Challenge Suggestion: "Weakness cycle team". Lemme explain. You pick 3 pokemon to use. 1 water, 1 fire and 1 grass. Since you automaticly get one of them as a starter you can freely pick which starter you want. (or UPR another you wanna start with) After that you pick a pokemon of the two other types, catch them and then you have your team. I believe it is possible. Im mostly interrested in how you´ll do it. Doesnt matter what gen you choose

[@gert_vC]

The tag team was a nice change of pace 💪

[@gogogadgetrectalpunch7436]

I’ve never seen a crowd like that French one at Backlash. One of the best crowds I’ve ever seen!

[@jack-o8254]

Hey MDB! Loved the content, keep it up! P.S. for an interesting challenge you should try using only petilil in gen 5.

[@TheRazzBerry]

Hey look, it's my first time catching one of these early! I think it'd be cool if you used the Gen 1/2 era art in the thumbnails for challenges of the older games. It'd make it easier to tell what game the challenge is in at a glance, and also the old art has a really neat style!

[@Anditeshordo]

Awesome. Hope to see this in Crystal. Or even using nidorino and nidorina

[@herdheaven]

Johnny Gargano and Candice Lerae reference. Love it!

[@sayakamaizono3345]

Very excited for a diamond/pearl run!! I think they have become over looked with platinum existing. Most major fights are different.

[@royplatt455]

The two Nidoran really make steadfast allies and great friends. Speaking of friends, did you know that Lopunny is the only pokémon to ever learn Return naturally? As such, it'd be a really fun mon for a Platinum Solo!

[@thewest2793]

Took me a sec to realize Johnny Gargano and Candace LeRae. I kept hearing those names and was like "why is that so familiar?" 😂

[@kikomagana1990]

This is the first time I understand the theme behind your Pokémon’s names

[@SomeGuy712x]

(2:10) Yeah, it's ridiculously dumb that Double Kick is learned so late in Red and Blue, but they fixed it to be a much more reasonable level 12 in Yellow. (3:57) Which fossil did you take? I hear Jedi are good for the May the 4th algorithm. :P (16:01) A fusion of Hitmonchan and Machamp? :P (19:33) Thanks for being such a pal with Rage, Charizard!

[@jand1993]

Great run, as ever! So, some ideas for future runs: A Vulpix only run in either Platinum (should be easier of the both) or Soul Silver. In Soul Silver you should take a whole team, otherwise it is most likely impossible. Second for an easy time (overall): an Eeveelution run in Platinum! 6 are possible for the Team, but you have 7 as a possibility. The evolution stones should all be obtainable in the underground. Have fun with that! Take it as a relaxing one, you need those too! Third: how about another team run. Can you beat Pokémon Crystal as Elite 4 Bruno? I'm actually not sure at all about this one. I suppose you reach the Elite 4 just fine, but i'm not sure, about the rest. His Pokémon aren't too bad, but i'm not sure about the moves.

[@jadezammit4247]

Pidge and spearow run. Type specific run I just enjoy your content hahaha

[@151monka]

Yes! I love Nidoran, Nidorino, and Nidoking. I expect that you will have a tough time, but be able to win with coverage

[@sampemberton7625]

Mr and Mrs NidoWrestling! Always look forward to your videos coming out as a fellow wrestling and pokemon nerd 😁

[@hotshot8135]

1:06 what’s funny is that growing up playing Pokémon Stadium, I always thought Nidoran🚺 looked so cool using blizzard. Like the light blue color of it always struck me as ice type

[@EivindThaMan]

This Hitmonchamp is really good

[@foxfire7]

Johnny Gargano and Candice "The Poison Pixie" LeRae, my favorite pokemons :P

[@rutgerderuijter2143]

I really like these tag-team runs. Maybe try an all first stage starter team in the future?

[@Blueninjawilliam]

WOOO I LOVE THE VIDS

[@TechnoL33T]

That champ luck was nutty!

[@azzahnoble]

“Kettle of worms” lol

[@justingrantham1000]

More tag team runs sounds fun. Gen 3 with minun/plusle or volbeat/illumise? Something like that might be neat too

[@danielsiemers5704]

You should do a full team run where you only use moves with 40 base power or less - but you can use any pokemon you want. I’ve done this and it’s actually really fun

[@angelwhispers2060]

I have an idea for a red run. 3 eevees you evolve each one into Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon. The Eevee only runs on entertaining but you really don't have that much more variety and I think this would make it more interesting

[@AussieRider20]

He could also do a Fire Red run with Espeon and Umbreon as they're the only eeveelutions not available in Kanto Gen 3 unless you trade.

[@Ollowain1]

So lucky that the last 2 Charizards you fought threw the fight by using Rage right away 😂 Gen1 could be such a nightmare if the AI was working properly

[@MrSpielfehler]

not a big fan of the red/blue runs... i prefer gen 3 and one due to abilities which makes it feel a bit more strategic. But other than that: thumbs up + keep up the work, MDB! long time enjoyer here :)

[@Mr.Snekofsnex]

Oh! I just got a great idea for a challenge! What if you did a run with only moves that lock you into using them like Thrash, Rollout, and Outrage? That could be a neat idea!

[@AussieRider20]

I think the only problem with this is, a lot like the only peck run is that it doesn't really have any strategy. It's just level up until the move does enough damage to win. I'm not sure how interesting that would be to do or watch.

[@Mr.Snekofsnex]

@@AussieRider20 Fair. Or I mean... It could be interesting if status moves were allowed as well.

[@chrishubbard64]

Have you done a run where you pick the most powerful single pokemon to see how fast and early you can clear the whole game with them? Basically an easy mode run. I just think it might be entertaining to see what pokemon you pick for each version of the game and what makes it the best option to handle the various gyms and elite fours without stalling out.

[@AZ-rl7pg]

I vote for any future Ditto runs to be tag team runs with two Dittos that way you can refresh transform mid battle.

[@tylergriffing7031]

It would be really cool to see a Pokemon Red/Blue run with only beginner level starter pokemon. Or any generation run with only beginner level starters!

[@justinnoble6393]

I think a Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee and hitmontop run would be fun. There's a lot of type coverage between those three

[@zacherytaylor]

Love gen 1 nidoran sprite. Looks like a lil purple bunny

[@Dinosaurd123]

Hey, Mahdrybread! Question for you :) have you considered playing on set mode for these multiple pokemon challenges to make it a little more difficult? It'd make it where you don't get a free opportunity to change pokemon when the opponent is sending out a new pokemon.

[@___________0Z0X]

Deep clean, deep deep clean.

[@blaze9327]

I wonder if there’s a gen 1 rom where the important fights have good move sets.

[@AussieRider20]

Technically yes, it's called Blue Kaizo but it's brutally unforgiving and not really meant to be balanced (or fun)

[@danielbutler8103]

I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.

[@TheBlaziking666]

Seems like these Nidoran knew The Way. Also, I know you don't do a lot of newer games for runs but running Sword and Shield with just Stunfisk would make another good tag run I'd think.

[@avega0984]

HitmonCHAMP 😂😂😂😂😂

[@relishcakes4525]

And of my favorite pokemon along with sandshrew/slash.

[@riul0708]

MDB info: ice move in gen 1 is natural vs fire. Btw good video :3

[@starsbookreviews]

*SQUEAL* I've always love the Nidorans! Have you ever thought about doing rom hacks? Because Smithplays is making impoved versions if Pokemon Yellow and Crystal and it would be so cool to se you do videos on them!

[@TheBloodswordsman]

Some genius out there once made a Water Onix mod for our boy - I am *BEGGING* that someone make him a Hitmonchamp rom...

[@hoekstra7541]

i love your videos

[@aname3941]

Koga is clearly paid whether he wins or looses, and he has a date in an hour, and he's not even dressed yet.

[@Bigfox3v]

You didn't have Blizzard, sure, but you still had Ice Beam and Rock Slide in the Department Store for Erika and Giovanni.

[@marlysalt]

You could do exclusive pairs, such as sandshrew with ekans, evolution optional. I think meowth is paired with something (or just not wild in yellow.)

[@NoahAlexanderRobinson]

This makes me think you should do a run with all 3 unevolved Kanto starters.

[@BandoGuy4]

The rival really loved rage this week, eh?

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

Koga still had an appointment today and just wanted you out of his gym as fast as possible so he could close for the day.

[@zagger999]

I just realized the Nidos were named after Johnny Gargano and Candace LeRae! ...Now I just want a DIY run...

[@aldendomino3523]

For future runs, don't pick character for your opponent so he can't fail with rage

[@GingerObiWan]

Kinda sad this wasn't a Star Wars mod run, given it was Star Wars Day, but still enjoyed it!

[@chrisswanepoel7389]

Maybe Koga just waved you through when he saw an all-poison team?

[@beepingsheep85]

say Mah-Dry-Bread, why do you always miss the second rival fight (before fighting brok) by going to the elite four early? wouldn't the XP gained help a little bit more early game?

[@saldemasi2931]

I will now name my hitmonchan, hitmonchamp for the rest of my life 😂

[@seanwilliams823]

Have you done a Poliwag run? Also how about the four infamous trade Evo but first form? So a Geodude, Abra, Machop, and Gastly run?

[@jakobschiek9513]

It was really crazy what Meowth did for that run. Those Tag team runs really are fun to watch. Btw: Which fossil did you take? Also: can you beat Pokemon X/Y with one Noibat?

[@avega0984]

Red/ blue with only 1 horsea.... been asking for this for a while. 1 day I'll see it

[@DubGathoni]

Idea for challenge run; generation 1 run where you are defeated by each gym leader with a main Pokemon in your party. Also, a run on an Island of Sodor mod in the style of the first mod video.

[@conza1989]

F_F_F_F_FOSSIL!? *breathes heavily*

[@creatureofthenight20]

I love that u name the pokemon after pro wrestlers ❤

[@LMK-Gaming]

Tag Team Challenge Request: Gold w/ All the Hitmon's and name them after your favourite wrestling trio!

[@Zek3nator]

Fulfill your destiny, MDfnB, Team Blastoise, Octillery and Gollem in Pokémon Ruby.

[@Ve-om7lf]

Gargano and Larae...this is the way.

[@Mc3music500]

Politely asking for a joltik only run because he's just a little guy with big dreams.

[@PrincessGoth574]

Winning at level 65 was super cool and unexpected

[@piratebear3126]

If you think RBY Blizzard is good, you should see JP Red and Green Blizzard. It has a 3 in 10 chance to Freeze like how Thunder has the 3 in 10 chance to Paralyze. So JP Blizzard essentially Horn Drill, but when it misses you get the 120 power Ice move anyway. I’m out of creativity this week, Stunky in HGSS still sounds fun

[@christopherrock1982]

Maybe a tag team of hitmonlee and hitmonchan in the future? Also, which fossil did you pick?

[@SonicMeters]

Cool challenge

[@MNAV33]

Comment before I start watching the video: I’ll bet that your cat 🐈 is mentioned more then Nidoranz 😝😂

[@SubparMinecraft]

Yamask sounds like a hell of a challenge you know?

[@keizervanenerc5180]

Smith Plays Pokemon just released "Pokemon Yellow Legacy", a Rom Hack for pokemon Yellow with the aim to truely make it the definitive Gen 1 experience. Would you be willing to give it a go some time?

[@JiMMyRoxks]

Good ol Gargano & LeRae

[@ashtonjohnston7314]

I am once again asking for Emerald as Wally. If it feels too weird to go from just Ralts for 3 gyms to then a full team, just pick them up as you would in a normal game. I just wanna see a Wally run man :'(

[@hanshorstjoachim9498]

I'd like to see a gen2 Chinchou run.

[@williamfalls]

One of these days he will pick Doom on the way, actually now that I think about it I should comment on whether he would win or not. Comments are good for the KZbin algorithm. I think you could win by picking the Doom fossil... But I guess that depends on the challenge run too.

[@Knytewish]

Zangoose and Seviper would be a fun run me thinks

[@Helmer54]

Down for more team runs

[@tb3411]

Blaine got sick of your shit so he decided to step up his game.

[@jdogzerosilverblade299]

Should have him to a gen 1 rage only challenge >:D

Gargano is a nice name. The best pizzeria in my hometown is called Gargano 😊
