Pokemon but I am the OTHER trainers (modded)

Pokemon is too easy. I made it harder.

I created and played a mod for Pokemon Emerald that switches my team with my opponent. 50% of the time, teams are swapped, which makes boss fights simple and easy fights impossibly hard.
Thanks to some self-imposed rules, this was the hardest Pokemon Challenge I've ever done. It got better and better as I played more, so make sure to watch until the end of the video!
Have watched a lot of DougDoug lately so I decided to add some Funny to this one. Let's hope it worked

11:05 "I COULD solve this by catching another water-type as my sixth and final Pokemon... but then I can't catch Rayquaza. And I want to do that 'cause it's funny." A strong motivation for problem-solving

[@LinkEX]

Naturally, good decision-making is about thinking ahead.

[@Sad-Lesbian]

I thought this would be a laughably easy challenge because you could just have level 3 really bad pokemon all game. But the 50% team switch really makes it a lot more interesting.

[@hawkticus_history_corner]

I didn't realize how many Trainers didn't have any attacking moves and I have to ask... why? Like, they're Grunts and are supposed to be fodder, but without an attacking move they don't even make you use up resources beyond PP which just makes them a complete waste of time.

[@HidekiShinichi]

They are exp fodder. Meant to make sure your team can be at least somewhat viable.

[@jellojiggler1693]

@@HidekiShinichi Also, a lot of people seem to forget that Pokemon games are casual games meant for 7-12 year olds. (yes, I know most ppl who play the games are over 18 but the TARGET demographic is children) A game like that kind of has to be easy.

Welcome to Pokemon

[@VestedUTuber]

So, right off the bat, lore-wise the player character is supposed to be an exceptional trainer, dedicating all of their time and effort to raising a champion team, while most trainers aren't really that serious about it.

[@randomusername1735]

It's still a child beating gym leaders that love pokemon so much they're willing to stand still in one room for most of the day

[@VestedUTuber]

@@randomusername1735 The whole gym challenge is specifically set up _to be reasonably beatable by a sufficiently dedicated trainer._ Otherwise there wouldn't even be a point to the Pokemon League. Basically, they're fighting with "kid's gloves" on in those battles. The rematches at the lounge in Platinum and the Fighting Dojo in HGSS, the PWT battles in B2W2 and occasional appearances at the Battle Tree in all Gen 7 games are examples of what they can do when they're fighting all-out, and all of that is postgame content.

[@LinkEX]

"The whole gym challenge is specifically set up to be _reasonably beatable_ by a _sufficiently dedicated_ trainer." @@VestedUTuber Well put. There's lots of things in the Pokemon world that don't make a lot of sense, but this one aspect of Gym battles actually does! I will never forget that one scene from that special showing Red's journey, and Brock choosing Geodude and Onyx among a plethora of his Pokemon before battling him.

[@TheAtemAndrew]

@@LinkEX I do recall at least one other case of the lore showing that the Gym Leaders choose their team based on how many badges the trainer currently has, but I don't recall where.

"Mightyena, oh, this pokemon is so nice, I wish I had one myself..." The game was like: there you go!

21:04 That was the most hilarious part of the video for me personally. Getting a Mightyena through this unexpected bug after struggling so much fighting with Poochyena is a special kind of dramatic irony.

[@bensoncheung2801]

He literally earned it.

[@imaginaryboy2000]

So with the Twins at the beginning, if you had your Ralts fainted, they'd never approach you for a battle, so you'd get to pass for free

[@JayTremblay]

I wish you could do this in video games. Like, if I have to be "forced to lose" in a segment, then I'd love to be "flipped" over to the enemies controls and "defeat the protagonist". Would be so much better than just having to watch myself lose in the cutscene

[@bannah6400]

Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!

[@14daycooldown]

the strategy in balancing your team around being usable and beatable is really insanely satisfying, and this is really the most novel concept for a mod I've seen, in terms of being totally game changing

[@Bigslam1993]

"Overcomming yourself" has an entirely new meaning

[@rapidriver]

The fact you modded this yourself is cool! I'd love to see other variations of this idea, but I like the solution you came up with.

[@Ludvix]

New upcoming pkmn KZbinr with less than 500 subs? LES GOOOOO ur quality is dank

[@Terotrous]

I think an interesting variation of this might be "You can never catch pokemon. After every trainer battle, you take the opponent's team (and your old team is lost forever)". This is definitely much easier, as you can train the opponent's team before the next battle, but it would introduce some interesting strategy where you could leave strong trainers until you need a good team. Probably possible to softlock due to HMs, but I bet there's a way to route around it or use death warps or something.

[@Zichqec]

Smallant did a run like this, I think? I want to say it's called "Pokemon but I'm team rocket" or something along those lines?

[@Terotrous]

@@Zichqec Oh, he does do exactly that challenge, nice catch. I guess most things have been done by now.

[@scottgerk7627]

I'd be interested in reviewing this as a potential switch-up on hardcore nuzlocks. You have to keep your pokemon within the appropriate level range and balancing your party to have answers but not be overwhelming.... hmmm.... Anyone got PChal's number?

[@dnys_7827]

yeah, with a bit of tweaking I feel like you could make a good nuzlocke ruleset from this mod.

[@pomonoli]

In Ludwig's Nuzlocke that Smallant also played you're not allowed to level your pokémon higher than the highest level of the next gym leader, which is also a very nice balancing rule.

[@Edo_Luna_]

Indeed

[@Laezar1]

An alternative version would be to play the game normally and then replace every opponent team with the team you had when you defeated them in your normal game (you're allowed to do any team switch you want, but you have to beat them so you need to be strong enough for that) then you do a full run where you get their team against your winner team everytime. I'm not sure if there is a way to easily or automatically do that. It'd probably be easier than this challenge but also a bit more fair, as you need to win from both sides. With probably a side goal being to lose as little as possible (rather than rely on retrying fights a lot, as the point is to outplay the opponent from both sides). Also ideally you'd face the version of your team after you won the battle not before, so that xp and lvl up aren't in your favor. Not sure if that's doable but it sounds cool.
