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

[@JackitK]

13:55 Technically in the Switch games they can disobey you even if you caught them. But it only happens if you catch them over leveled. If you capture it at a reasonable level and raise it up, it'll still be obedient, regardless of your level. With Pokemon games being more open-world these days, I guess that was their way to keep you from just running to a late-game area, catching a high level Pokemon and then sweeping the early game with it. But yeah, everything pre-Nintendo Switch still follows the rules you listed out.

[@mickkelley3776]

There's still one oversight though (at least in the pre-NX games); you can still trade over a Pokémon, have the other person train it to level 100, then trade the Pokémon back. Then that Pokémon will be able to sweep the game it originally came from, because despite technically being a traded Pokémon, the TID and SID are those of the trainer in its origin game. As such, no disobedience effects will trigger. Can't confirm for PLA or ScaVio, as I do not own an NX. (For context, "NX" was the Switch's old codename, I just think NX sounds better so I say that instead of Switch.)

[@inscritogratis5693]

​@@mickkelley3776I believe when Scarlet and Violet originally came out, trading a pokémon would reset its "met level" used in calculations for obedience, but later on they changed it with a patch. I believe they did it because of trade evolutions

[@Raziel_HHL]

Fun Shroomish fact, Breloom cannot learn Spore so you need to hold off evolving Shroomish if you want to have a Breloom with Spore

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

Except in BDSP, where Shroomish is postgame anyway and you could just use a Heart Scale to get Spore on it once you catch it.

[@GelatinCoffee]

can't you just use a heart scale to get it anyway? i remember doing that with roserade in diamond & pearl (well i guess technically only for sure on diamond. just finished a grass only run for fun) because i wanted PP over raw damage, so never taught it to my budew or rosellia. but taught it to roserade after i lost a few times against the elite 4

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

@@GelatinCoffee Maybe, but the point is that you catch Shroomish at high enough levels that Spore doesn't need to be in Breloom's learnset.

@@Mpot1us secretly it was a Psyduck fact all along

[@wesleyoldham4222]

13:40 There is one exception I know of for obedience. In FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, Mew and Deoxys will not obey you in battle unless they have the "Fateful Encounter" flag set. So if you use a Gameshark to go to Faraway Island and catch the event Mew, then it will listen to you; but if you use a Gameshark to catch a wild Mew somewhere it will still ignore you if you have the Earth Badge. FireRed and LeafGreen have some additional anti-cheating measures, too. For example, adding the Tea to your inventory won't let you get past the guards at Saffron unless you actually got it from the old lady in Celadon. GameFreak really went all out to hinder cheaters in FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald.

[@chrishubbard64]

[@marlysalt]

If you gameshark 8 badges in ruby/sapphire then the wailmer in lilyove never go away because you can't trigger the aqua/magma events properly

[@KageNoOnisu]

Another anti-cheating measure was randomizing memory. A 4-byte encryption key was generated for encrypting item quantities and money, the key was placed into a randomized location in memory, as well as player data. There were 2 pointers to the key and player data, and any time the main screen loaded, the locations and key would be regenerated. Leave or enter a building, or change floors, or even exit the pokemon or items menu, and all the encryption and memory locations get randomized again. I don't like TMs being 1 use only, so I wanted to create a cheat that gave me unlimited TMs, as long as I had one in my inventory. The above was a wall I ran into trying to create the cheat. Thankfully the emulator I use has the ability to use lua scripts to read and write to memory, so once I located the initial pointers, and was able to reliably locate both the encryption key and the player data at any given time, I wrote a script that keeps tabs on those, then encrypts the value for 95, and stored that in the quantity locations for each TM (it also made sure that the item was a TM, not an HM or blank slot, before changing the value).

[@KageNoOnisu]

@@chrishubbard64 It's Pokemon, so it's not intended to be single player. You're supposed to be playing with other players, including trading and battling, so I understand the mindset. Cheats give you access to pokemon you aren't supposed to have, as well as eliminating the need for trading, taking what is intended to be a multiplayer experience, and either giving an unfair edge (cheated pokemon), or eliminating the need for the multiplayer aspect altogether (get all the pokemon w/o trading).

[@JCxBEASTx66]

I've been playing pokemon for the majority of my life and never knew a "fluctuating" exp category existed

[@jackdiddles4304]

fair, it's the smallest exp category, was introduced in gen 3 and is almost exclusively gen 3 pokemon (except for drifloon/drifblim). at low levels it's actually a really fast growth rate, it's a bit slower than medium around the time you'd normally beat the elite four and slow as hell in higher levels, basically the opposite of erratic (despite the names being synonymous)

@@mickkelley3776 it's still several hours of tedium compared to use Fly and Rare Candy

[@chrayez]

So Scarlet and Violet did make a minor change to obedience. Because of the somewhat-open-world format you are able to get to high-level areas really early in the game if you want. To discourage this, if a Pokémon’s level-when-obtained is higher than your obedience level from badges, it will disobey, even if it wasn’t traded.

[@mikeblades4839]

On the disobedience mechanic, at least in Scarlet and Violet, disobedience also happens if you catch a Pokémon at too high of a level. I found it out when I started my Violet run and got an event Pokémon at level 50, with me being the OT, and it wouldn’t obey me completely except in raids until I got 7 badges. The good thing in this case is if you’re the OT, then it will only disobey you until the level it was originally at when caught is surpassed by badges.

On the topic of obedience, you should do a team run of first form, but they are all traded. Level faster and don't obey

[@MagusAgrippa8]

Thank you for the comment about not finding Nuzlockes fun. I get asked the same question during my own streams, and I agree they're not nearly as fun as other challenges. I like ones that make me think and require strategies and trying things and taking risks that don't require complete restarts on a failure. I don't have time for redoing failed runs either.

[@markabyss1200]

In regards to obedience in scarlet and violet, they actually did change it! If you level a pokemon it works as expected, no questions asked. However as you can go to later game areas with level 50+ pokemon early, pokemon you catch have to be within your gym level to obey you. If you catch a level 15 pokemon before the first gym, disobey. If you beat the first gym and catch it though, it'll obey you and you can level it up as much as you want!

[@erelynlerossignol2435]

Obedience did indeed change in Scarlet/Violet, it now applies to every pokemon (including those you caught yourself) but it works off the met level instead of the current level! Funnily enough, that means it still works the same for trading an overleveled pokemon, since the met level is set to the pokemon's level when it gets traded

I also did my first challenge in Violet, on my own terms, and it was insanely fun! I plan to do some more when I can. I never liked Shroomish as a kid. A fool I was, he's just a silly little guy.

[@danieltilson4053]

In Scarlet and Violet, it's all about when you catch them. If you catch them below your obedience limit, they obey. if above, they wont. if you get a badge that raises your limit above what you caught them at, they obey. This is far superior to Sword and Shield's "If they're above this limit you just can't catch them." system.

[@_RedRightHand_]

6:57 Paralysis is a 25% chance, and it quarters speed. [Halves speed Gen 7 and up.] 13:55 Yes, in modern games high-level Pokémon may disobey even if you caught them, as they allow you to catch high-level Pokémon early on. 24:18 Grass doesn't resist Fighting, but does resist Ground. Grass/Poison resists Fighting. 25:13 This gives me déjá vu to the time I stalled out a Gengar with a Poison Heal SubSeed Breloom, which could otherwise not be able to hit Gengar with Focus Punch - we were both down to our last Pokémon. 26:19 From here-on-out the audio and video don't quite sync up.

[@PotatoBagel23]

The fluctuating exp group is so fascinating, because up until level 36, they actually need LESS experience than Medium Fast. At level 36, the total exp is the same, but from then on, fluctuating starts to require more than medium fast.

[@DarkEinherjar]

They did change obedience. Starting at Legends Arceus and Scarlet and Violet, any Pokémon you catch or receive whose starting level is above your badge/star level threshold will disobey you until you get enough badges/stars so that their initial level is below your level threshold. Once that happens, they'll never disobey you again, even if their levels rise above your level threshold again. This eliminates the problem of traded Pokémon disobeying you later on, as well as keeping disobedience's intended purpose: to stop you from cheesing the game by trading or catching a Pokémon at an extremely high level early on.

[@caitrose2198]

14:04 I think the rule might be exclusive to trading for the more linear earlier games because you physically can’t catch a wild mon above the badge level in those games but that’s actually how it works in ScarVi Since you can conceivably get to any area at the start of the game and catch a super high level mon, they just won’t obey you unless the level you actually acquire them at is below the badge level. Tho that does mean you can go to an area with mons that are more powerful than you ‘should’ be able to get, and just keep encountering them til you meet one that just barely is a low enough level to meet the badge requirement, so imo it makes things more interesting. Oh btw cus you mentioned it, I’d be super interested to watch a supercut of MDB’s first playthrough of one of the later gen games!

I have an idea for a fun run! A run only using Mew in gen 5. However, there's a catch. You mustn't overlevel past the next gym leader's/champion's ace. This run should provide a bit of a twist than usual, since instead of grinding until you can get past a boss, you have to think of it like a puzzle. You have a pokemon with high stats and all of the tm's at its disposal. Still, it shouldn't be too hard and sounds fun! And yes, I thought of gen 5 because of the unlimited tm's. It could work on any gen though

[@jeremyjoyce5454]

[@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.

[@idakothetricky]

i have a rule suggestion. for future kanto runs, you can catch/evolve wild mons just to add to the dex so you can reach 50 entries to get the itemfinder to get the leftovers from beneath snorlax. just explain it in video that any mons used this way are not used against trainers. because getting a weedle to lv10 is easy and gets you 3 dex entries towards that sweet sweet leftovers

[@SomeGuy712x]

(4:58) Which fossil did you take? I hear 🍰is good for the birthday algorithm. :P (6:56) Paralysis actually has a 25% chance to make the afflected mon miss a turn. (13:48) Actually, the way obedience works was indeed changed in Scarlet/Violet, where if you first obtained the Pokémon when it was already at a level higher than what your gym badges would accommodate, it will disobey you, even if you're the one who caught it, without trading for it. For example, if you capture a level 21 Pokémon before you get any gym badges, it'll be prone to disobeying you until you obtain your first gym badge. But, anything you caught or obtained at level 20 or below will obey you just fine, even if you level it up beyond 20 before getting a gym badge. And, once you have all 8 gym badges, all Pokémon will always obey you, as usual. (24:18) Grass doesn't resist Fighting, actually. (25:54) Beating Agatha on your second attempt at just level 80 FTW!

13:39 I do have to point out obedience does change in Scarlet/Violet, iirc it's based on the level you get the pokemon at, regardless of original trainer or not. ie: if your badges say pokemon up to 10 would obey you and you catch an 11, it'll disobey till you get the appropriate badge, but if you caught that same pokemon at 9, and raised it to 11, it'd obey. Not sure why they felt the need to change this, but hey.

So they did change how obedience works in Gen 9. It's based on the level the pokemon is when you catch it. So if you have a cap of 10 and catch something at 11, even though you are the original trainer it still won't obey. But if you catch it at level 9 and then level it to 100 it will obey because it was obtained below the cap. Comments are good for the youtube algorithm.
