Pokemon Yellow with only a Tangela - Only constrict until level 24? Only Grass moves for Agatha?

Had some issues with sewage this week so I needed to do a shorter solo playthrough video... and then this happened.

I think an alternate name for this video could be: “This spaghetti monster finishes every clutch battle with 4hp.”

[@SirAthiro]

"I'd rather use Struggle than Constrict." Wow. That's the most depressing Pokemon related thing I've ever heard. You could say that the Struggle is real. ☠👋

Yes the early game was certainly a Struggle

Know what's sad? Untill watching any of these videos I never knew struggle was a thing .....lol and the pokémon TCG Gameboy cartridge was the first game I had, the yellow ,blue, red, silver , gold, crystal

[@magusperde365]

Personnaly constricting my neck ia currently a way better alternative for me than struggling through my life. Sadly I have no constrict pp left and no self destruct so I have to keep suffering

[@contestwill1556]

it's almost as if they didnt even consider level 5 tangelas in this game

[@FernandoRafaelNogueiraReis]

Indeed, they didn't! There are lots of wacky movesets because they never thought about people hacking the game and getting those Pokémons somewhere other than they were supposed to. Bear in mind that breeding wasn't a thing yet.

[@acumenium8157]

That's kind of besides the point. Why did they *remove* a move from its starting pool? Especially when it can be found in Yellow at a level *lower* than 24, so it'd only know Constrict. Who the heck would use a thing they just got in the Safari Zone that ONLY knows Constrict?

[@FernandoRafaelNogueiraReis]

@@acumenium8157 Many of the things were not meant to be used, methinks they're only filler so you'd have to trade between versions. An example is the Dragon Type: only one line (3 mons) and a move that can't be STAB.

[@Shenaldrac]

@@acumenium8157 The tagline is "Gotta catch 'em all" not "Gotta use them all and find them fun and competitively viable". The Safari Zone is, in setting, a place where you can find rare pokemon. Rare isn't the same thing as powerful.

[@acumenium8157]

@@Shenaldrac That doesn't answer the question though. Why did they literally REMOVE a starting move for Tangela here when it can't be found at that level in Yellow to begin with?

[@matttypes2695]

Constrict should be renamed to “hug” because it does so little damage.

[@SaerasChuu]

Blue raspberry noodles with boot too big for he gotdam feet wins at a lower level than expected... I wonder if this would have been easier or harder if Tangela was part poison type like the majority of other grass types? It certainly feels very different, which I appreciate. Really goes to show how much early game moves can matter. Good job stringy lettuce.

Did you not just hear him in the video? Obviously it is a fire type

[@AnonimusQualquer]

No, look at its colors and moves, it is a psychic and poison type

[@Ronald_Ruck]

For your opening question: yeah, it is not very memorable. But I began to like its design during the years. It is just fun to look at and is one of those Pokémon I would really call a monster, even when it is a goofy one.

Bro I just found your channel a few days ago and I have really been enjoying your content. I even went back and watched some of your old videos. Really so many people are making challenge runs nowadays but somehow you stand out to me. Your presentation is not fake over enthusiasm or way too low energy. It just flows so naturally. Also I have been liking the jokes. I heard you say that you not are geared towards competitive but if you know that channel, I think your quality of content is on par with False Swipe Gaming (a competitive history channel, beloved by all competitive players) and has the same quality of being kind of like a podcast and having high re-watch ability.

[@altitudemanagement]

I'm really sorry to have to tell you this, but since Bind could make such a big difference in the early game, I think you need to do a Red/Blue run to see how it does. Having a move right out the gate that could deal up to 5 damage to Onix probably saves you a half hour at least!

[@chubbst.7407]

YES. I was actually going to suggest a Tangela run. Again, I really appreciate you giving Pokémon almost everyone else wouldnt even bother with, a chance at some love.

Keep up the good work man. I love your content.

This one was great. Honestly surprised that it went as smoothly as it did. By the way, when you eventually try generation three runs, would you be interested in doing a Gorebyss vs. Huntail race?

Anything under 3 hours for a pokemon as ill fated in its debut generation as Tangela is impressive to me.

[@zacharyessey5904]

You are one of my favourite KZbinrs. I always look forward to your videos. Pokemon Yellow was the first Pokemon game that I played. I had a funny memory. I was terrible at strategy at that time and could never get past Brock. I thought that something was wrong with my game and rented a copy from the video library and won with someone else's team against Brock I think. At the time, I felt justified about it being the game, but however long it took me to realise that it was me playing badly, I finally learnt and got better. Another funny memory is that in Yellow, I used a masterball on Fearow right before going inside to face the Elite 4 as I don't think that I had seen a Fearow or at least remembered that I had seen one. I don't know if I had known about legendaries.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

OMG Renting copies of Pokemon games. I was just thinking about telling a couple stories about that in an upcoming video. What a time. I also felt my game was broken when I couldn't get through Mt. Moon. I was so frustrated I didn't eat dinner or breakfast. Around noon I finally got through and then I ate a giant celebratory meal.

Tangela is and will be my favourite Pokémon of all time

[@katherine9447]

As a kid, I had a tangela on my team when battling my friends. We had terribly optimized Pokemon and the general mentality was "I don't need to have coverage across multiple Pokemon since I already have a Charizard on my team for grass pokemon" so Tangela was an absolute monster against my friends if I had already defeated their Pokemon with fire and ice moves. Growth was so good and I would just set up and destroy their Alakazams and Mewtwos. Didn't use swords dance but body slam was good enough without it being boosted (which I guess it was being boosted but we didn't know about the badge boost glitch). Eventually, I discovered how amazing Parasect was with spore but by that point, we also started to understand that we needed more coverage per Pokemon and that originally overlooked Pokemons were really good with TM movesets. Still, I have a soft spot for the silly spaghetti monster. Thank you for the entertainment. Your videos always brings up some forgotten childhood memories.

Hey Scott. I got recommended your content a few days ago on KZbin, and have been watching all of these. I personally want to see you do a Noctowl run in Crystal as most Flying types do pretty good in GSC (Fearow is a beast).

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Hey Cody, I want to do a Noctowl vs Fearow video at some point. A dual of the early game 2 stage birds.

[@thesacredlobo]

Jeez, I've done two mono flying runs in Generation II and I've avoided Noctowl both times. As for why, it's because Noctowl really doesn't have a great move pool to play with. And it's stats only make it's options seem worse. Noctowl (Base Stats) HP: 100 ATK: 50 DEF: 50 Sp. Atk: 76 Sp. Def: 96 Speed: 70 Moves by Level Up Tackle Growl Foresight Peck Hypnosis Reflect Take Down Confusion Dream Eater To make matters worse Noctowl doesn't even learn confusion until level 41. I suppose Scott could make things a little less painful if he starts with a HootHoot so he can learn confusion at level 34, but he'll still need to get through most of Johto with physical moves on a Pokemon with a lower attack stat than *Tangela's* and no way to even boost that attack stat without using items. And TMs really don't offer you any form of salvation either since the only special moves Noctowl can learn though them are Thief and Dream Eater. Though, I suppose Scott could make use of hidden power to give himself a useful type coverage by selecting a Noctowl with a specific IV value.

[@shanoc5902]

I'm not sure if it'll help, but when it comes to the rival's Eeveelution it's important to remember that the game assumes your starter is Pikachu. If you do badly (lose the first fight) it makes the Eeveelution be weak to Pikachu (thus Vaporeon) because you're 'bad', if you win the first fight and the optional fight then clearly you're 'good' so it makes it hard by giving an Eeveelution that resists you (thus Jolteon), and if you skip the 2nd fight then it gives one that's neutral to you (thus Flareon) as while you're not bad you don't explore a lot/couldn't win the second fight. Or think of it as Buttz wanting to style on you by beating your starter with a starter as vulnerable to yours as he thinks he can get away with. That said, you are right that Vaporeon was the better choice here, Jolteon/Magniton won't have been a big difference here since your grass typing would neuter Jolteon, as you pointed out Ninetails had the better moveset to trap you plus came out early enough that you couldn't mimic a water move to trivialize it while Flareon wouldn't have firespin and would come after Cloyster, and while Vaporeon had the special stat needed to withstand your growth'd mega-drain Cloyster wouldn't have making it so that while it wasn't as much of a threat as Flareon would have been, the Flareon+Cloyster Combo would have been easy to handle while the Vaporeon+Ninetails combo not only gave you a lot of trouble but both of them had a chance to give you a hard time. This video was a lot of fun though! Sad that Brock was such a pain but it was fun seeing all the decisions being made. Originally I had been certain that Sleep Powder would be neccessary but once you had gotten Growth (which I didn't see originally) it had become clear that Sleep Powder just wasn't consistently viable. Seeing the pros and cons of Mega Drain vs Solarbeam not only considered but also on display in the video was also very nice! Very fun video even despite the difficulties that movepool brought you!

[@johngleeman8347]

Tangela isn't my favorite pokemon, but I've always been rather fond of it for several reasons. First and foremost, it's location in the wild is the patch of grass on Route 21. Oh the anticipation of finding out what pokemon were hidden in that inaccessible little corner of Kanto! Second, for whatever reason, tangela is one of a small number of pokemon that can choose to flee from battle. I'm not sure why it shares this trait with legendary monsters, but it continues to intrigue me to this day. A tertiary consideration for me, both as a youngster and an adult, is that tangela was given the boon of pure-typing, in a generation lousy with flying and poison dual-types.

Wigglywoo is cute but Gen 1 wasn't good for it. Love the bloopers, keep'em coming!

Loving the bloopers at the end. Do you have enough to make it into a separate video? 😆 even if its only like 3-5 mins

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

For this video I did not have enough. But for Corsola I had like 3 minutes of decently funny stuff. I'll consider a seperate video if I have a lot of really good bloopers in the future.

Nice run! Just one suggestion, in the Rival fight you could try copying Earthquake from Sandslash instead of Slash, it's super effective against Ninetales and it might also one-shot Alakazam due to higher BP than Body slam.
