Can I Beat Pokemon Red with ONLY Psyduck? 🔴 Pokemon Challenges ► NO ITEMS IN BATTLE

[@MahDryBread]

​I mean I guess this Duck video was good but everyone knows Duck Dynasty is where it's at: kzbin.info/aero/PLXmhjzME06PH0IRmMpkykEg81DhG3BwGi Oh! And I said "Next week" at the end! It's probably gonna be more like 2 weeks, sorry about that. When I first voiced over this video, I thought this wouldn't upload till January was over and my backlog was ready. But I ended up being ahead of schedule so I released this early and just forgot to fix that line. Sorry about that!

To answer your question about the Silph Rival using a Potion, it's because every Rival fight from Pokémon Tower to the pre-League fight uses the same AI code, which includes the code for item use. Having the Rival use different items in different fights would have required each Rival to be a separate Trainer class, so my guess is that it was a space-saving measure.

[@Earthboundmike]

My bets on they forgot.

[@1845net]

@@Earthboundmike nah, definitely a space saving measure. These games were extremely tight on memory for a Game Boy game, which is why certain glitches can break the game so easily by overwriting critical memory addresses.

[@AmberMuffin]

In that case they should’ve given him a Hyper Potion or something. Sure, it’s be weird seeing him use it at the beginning of the game, but no weirder than him using a regular Potion in the end game.

[@ryangallagher9723]

@@AmberMuffin that is one of the most asinine things i've read all day, and i saw an elon musk tweet earlier. do you not see the problems with the rival using a hyper potion at the beginning? not only does it not make any sense story-wise (i mean, where the fuck did he get it when there aren't any shops that sell hyper potions within a 10-kilometer radius of pallet town?), but it would be unbelievably aggravating having to deal with your opponent having the ability to just heal back to full whenever they want, especially in the beginning when your pokemon are weaker and don't have as many options to break through opposing teams.

[@AmberMuffin]

@@ryangallagher9723 At the beginning, if he uses a regular potion, the Mon that’s out is basically back to full. And besides, it’s Pokémon. You’re probably one shotting his team anyway.

Random question for your next grinding session: With so many years on KZbin and so many series under your belt, has there ever been a series you regret making? Maybe you made it despite not having fun during it, or your comments hated it despite you loving it?

[@franciscodeabreu4004]

The fact that Psyduck is not psychic type is not weird at all! It IS a duck with *some* psychic powers, but he isn't capable of controlling them (thus, no psychic type). That's why he gets those headaches and in the anime does those random psychic attacks when it's stressed. I'm pretty sure the pokedex also mentions all of this

[@sofjonah4177]

Great video as always! 23:19 you said Alakazam instead of Arcanine but it's ok it's like a little Easter egg lol

[@badluckshowdown6668]

I was just about to comment that!! I’m sure that was on purpose to see who was paying attention to the video 😂 (I know it was not but it would have been cool)

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

Super happy to see you kinda back, MDB! Also, Psyduck is a translation issue, the Japanese name is Koduck, or Child Duck in a mix of Japanese and English. It's not a Psychic Duck, it's a Duckling.

[@BlueSodaPop_]

And I guess they just ended up stuck with it lol. I do wonder, if they'd chosen to change pokemon retroactively (like Psyduck or combining Nidoran male/female into one pokemon) how different remakes of gen 1 would be

[@HaydnG266]

In the anime it's a psychic duck though, just not very good at it

[@marcelosoares7148]

That makes sense but why it can learn a psychic move, and the Pokedex description references his ability to use physic powers too.

[@Deadflower019]

No, it's a Psychic Duck. Psyduck's name is literal and Golduck's name is based on Duck and Gold (the color representing psychic abilities in Japan). Given the fact that they learn Psychic moves and their Pokédex mentions their magical mind abilities, we can come to the conclusion that you are incorrect.

[@SoggyCoffeeAddict]

But Golduck is hinted at that it's also got psychic abilities, so if they did just stick with it. They would have realized the mistake almost instantly, and still not change it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@NecromancyEnthusiast]

It's so good to see that your health is improving enough for you to be able to do videos again, and one that just happens to be feature one of my favorite gen 1 pokemon. I like psyduck better than golduck, it's just a much better design imo and its doofiness is endearing. When I was playing Arceus Legends I kept my psyduck Molly unevolved for like 15 levels and only finally let her evolve because she was lagging behind immensely and had like no stamina, so she was fainting all the time.

[@SirAthiro]

Couple of things. 1. Love to hear the health progress. 2. Surprised Psyduck couldn't learn psychic. Just when you think you know a game. 3. I can think of a few questions: Whats your favorite running joke? What was the worst challenge thus far? Is there any challenges you refuse to do other than impossible ones like R/B/Y Weedle? Would you say the challenges as a whole have become easier over time with having done so many?

[@PLPEberronguy]

What Pokemon do you want to use in a challenge but you are absolutely terrified of running with?

[@DrPotatoSkins]

Glad you're back, better, and doing more cool challenges For a potential challenge idea, maybe... Pokemon Black with only one Larvesta? You used it a lot around the endgame of Black with First Form Bugs, and it's such a cool Pokemon (Btw, Arcanine is now officially Alakazam as of that last fight.)

[@robertlupa8273]

Arcazam

[@TheLordKronos]

Or Alakanine

[@ariajohnson8107]

Hey MDB! Always happy to see a new Pokémon Challenge from you, and I'm glad you're getting your health issues sorted out! And now for my suggestion: Pokémon Gold with only one Gligar! ❤️

[@costby1105]

Psyduck name in Japanese is Koduck or the chracter for child and then duck. Golduck's name is Golduck the gold is likely in reference to the Gold badge aka the Marsh badge that sabrina gives you. Fun fact Psyduck doesn't learn Psychic by TM until Generation 4; In Generation 2 and 3 and it is an egg move.

[@robertlupa8273]

Gold is also apprently a symbol of psychic powers: in addition to the aforementioned Gold Badge, the Gold Gummi in Mystery Dungeon is loved by Psychic types. As for the source of the "gold = psychic powers" connection: _"Psychics who claim to be able to observe the aura with their third eye report that great spiritual teachers usually have golden auras."_ - Wikipedia on Gold (color) Oh, and the fact that Golduck couldn't be taught Psychic via TM before Gen 4 is stupid :v

[@qinaxin7107]

Question for you: Of all the non pokemon series you have done challenges in, which one did you have the most fun recording? I know pokemon challenges are your main challenges but it's always nice seeing some variety. Don't get me wrong, I love the Pokemon challenges as well.

[@MahDryBread]

[@piratebear3126]

I used my first Psyduck/Golduck in Violet. Harry ended up being an MVP with his Hydro Pump alongside my Fuecoco. Always was a niche favorite, and Golduck deserves a new Psychic evolution like Primape got this gen. I also remember them having Psychic powered attacks in TCG Base Set, which is and was rare in the TCG.

[@robertlupa8273]

IIRC Golduck can be found in every region, so he's a pretty reliable team member. No matter where you go, you can always count on Psyduck!

Finally getting to sit down and watch all the Pokemon challenges/playthroughs I've missed out on during a struggling couple of years away from home :)

[@peachymiku6432]

Actually, in Japan, Psyduck is called Koduck. Ko means child so we can't go by name.... We can certainly put blame on the Pokedex though! Yellow's entry specifically mentions psychic power! Ooh, going back to the Dragon Ball romhack huh? Cool, I will look forward to that!

[@Timmeh7o7]

Yup, and following this, Golduck is also Golduck in Japanese.

[@Earthboundmike]

Also you see it having headaches and doing psychic shit in the anime

[@ceulgai2817]

OR... we as fans can just accept the fact that Pokemon are able to have powers without being that type. I think that's the more reasonable option.

[@peachymiku6432]

@@ceulgai2817 I think you are right! That's true for almost every Pokemon.

[@BloodyAbsol]

i think I know why Blaine always uses a Super Potion on full health. Gen 1 AI selects its move after you, like its reacting. Since you attack and don't one shot, the AI chooses to heal even though heals always go before actual moves.

[@Kanbei11]

The item use replaces the move that would have been used including its priority. Hence the retrospective super potion we all know of. There are times when Lt Surge has used an X speed before you despite your pokemon outspeeding his - in those cases it replaces quick attack but kept the priority

[@djkates1916]

In addition to what Kanbei mentioned, Blaine in particular has an oversight in his AI code. Basically, every Trainer class that can use healing items will only have the chance to use their item if the Pokémon is at or below a certain percentage of its max health at the time the Pokémon would perform its move for the turn. Trainer classes with items that aren't healing items don't have this threshold. Blaine's item use code doesn't have the health threshold, which means the RNG will be rolled every turn (unless Blaine has already used 2 Super Potions on his current Pokémon). The hypothesis that I (among others) subscribe to is that Blaine was originally intended to have his assigned item be an X Item, and so had his AI code written using that template. Later on, someone easily could have decided to change Blaine's item to Super Potions, and simply neglected to add in a health threshold.

[@gmsloep]

In Gen 1 specifically, the AI doesn't pick its move at the start of the round like the player does. Instead, the AI for gym leaders, including Blaine, does this: >Is the AI using an item immediately? (Y/N) If No, go to 2 >Is the AI's Pokémon faster than the player's Pokémon? (Y/N) If No, wait for the player to resolve their turn, then go to 3. If Yes, go to 3 immediately. >Does the AI's current Pokémon have a move of a super effective type against the player's current Pokémon? (Y/N) If No, go to 4 >Is the AI at a point where it would use an item? (Y/N) If Yes, use an item.

Hey, going back to the romhack means you'll get to see all the changes that were done to it, such as the big guys being a lot weaker now, moves having a LOT less power now, and some of the boss teams being changed up, iirc to be more 'thematically appropriate' or something. For sure, this means that your Saibamen actually stands a ghost of a chance next week, instead of basically no chance like in the old versions.

Did you know that there exists a way for Psyduck to learn Amnesia? You have to register all 151 Pokemon in the Pokemon Stadium Hall of Fame, which doesn't sound very fun to me, but if that is accomplished, you can get a Psyduck with Amnesia, which it wouldn't ordinarily be able to learn until Gen 4! Anyway, fun run this time! That Viridian Forest grind must have taken you AGES... Psyduck has a Medium Fast growth rate, so ironically enough, that means it was slower going at the beginning of the game than a Medium Slow growth rate Pokemon would have been.

Psyduck was clearly never designed to be an early game pokemon based on how developers gave him no moves until when you meet him around that natural level. They also probably never expected replay ability or mods and also expected gold/ silver to be the end of the series as a whole.

[@alexmarino328]

Challenge Recommendation: Pokemon Emerald(or other Gen 3) only using the move Assist! Assist can only be known by Skitty and Delcatty and it randomly uses a move known by another pokemon in the team. Rules can be: only use the move assist, but can have any pokemon with any move you want in the back of the team. This would be a really unique challenge.

[@robertlupa8273]

If we discount starters and legendaries (but *not* single stage Pokemon like Scyther, as he's done challenge runs with Pokemon like Absol or Chansey), and don't count Fire Red runs, we are left with: - Nidoran F - Nidoran M - Clefairy - Vulpix - Paras - Venonat - Mankey - Poliwag - Abra - Bellsprout - Tentacool - Geodude - Ponyta - Magnemite - Farfetch'd - Doduo - Seel - Grimer - Shellder - Krabby - Exeggcute - Hitmonlee - Hitmonchan - Lickitung - Rhyhorn - Chansey - Horsea - Staryu - Mr. Mime - Scyther - Pinsir - Jynx - Electabuzz - Magmar - Tauros - Magikarp (impossible)/Water Onix - Lapras - Ditto - Porygon - Helix - Dome - Aerodactyl - Snorlax That leaves us with 44 Pokemon, if we count Magikarp/Gyarados as one.

Psyduck being a psychic duck is a pretty common misconsception, its actually a psychopath duck 🤣

Comment for the KZbin algorithm: maybe a no HM slave run. Something like gen 1 with only Lapras and Farfetched. The first two gens may be a bit too easy since there's so few HM's. I'm drawing a blank on a two pokemon team that get all the HM's in 3 though. Maybe Spheal and Wingull but I don't remember if either can learn Cut. Basically trying to get the number of Pokémon in the party as low as possible and still finish the game.
