Solo Mew Challenge - 10k Q&A

[@devinmiracle7680]

I really like the current moveset being on the screen. This is really helpful especially when watching at high speeds like this video.

[@omarcortes88]

You should do a run with a Venomoth... except hack it so it's a Flying/Psychic type!!!

[@HighPriestFuneral]

That would be a great April Fools special.

[@HighPriestFuneral]

@@DisastrousIntentionally Exactly my thought! Except to go a step further and actually change the type with a bit of hacking, each time.

[@hfactor66]

I second this. This would be the best April Fools prank Scott could do.

[@TulipQ]

The best version of this would be to come up with palettes for a bunch of the "What type(s) is Venomoth?" and have it switch typing every battle along with its model. Thus everyone can be right about Venomoth's type, but only in a transitory kind of way.

[@myzelf99]

When I was like 6 or 7 i got Pokémon gold. And i lost to Whitney's miltank so many times that I eventually spent most of my time just catching pokemon and doing the bug catching tournaments. I would just run around and enjoy myself. One day i went into the day care and forgotten i'd left a caterpie there. it was level 43. Whitney wasn't a problem after that.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Amazing. Beating Whitney with a Caterpie!

[@soulfiemc]

The thought of a level 43 caterpillar beating up a gym leader's strongest pokemon is hilarious

[@JimGam9]

This could have been the only time in which you could actually use "Softboiled" as a TM!

[@hattrem8525]

Fun Fact: Rapidash's name is Gallop. That's it. Just Gallop. Anyway, Congratulations on 10,000 subbies! It's been amazing to see your channel grow!

I did a play through of Gen 1 in German recently (a language I'm currently trying to learn) and my personal favourite was Geodude being called Kleinstein, quite literally "small stone". That's utterly adorable. I also hadn't realised until then that that's where the site Smogon got its name from (it's Koffing's name in the German translation) though I'm sure lots of people know that one.

I'm with you on the Nuzlockes thing; I think a longer form video series works better for them than single videos. KZbinrs don't have time to get invested in their Pokemon when they're trying to hurry the video out the door, so when they lose one, there's not enough emotional impact to be engaged by the struggle.

[@positivea9111]

Yeah most KZbinr I know do nuzlocke do it like a speed run because they keep on rushing in the game and don’t take the time to grind or find secret items. That cause more deaths (Not because on luck),make it more harder on themselves and most likely form no bond.

[@Lexyr_]

When I was a kid playing Pokemon Stadium, I always said the name Rattata as 'Rattatat'. Don't know why, guess I thought he was a drumming rat.

[@kyle2199]

I have a Childhood story that relates to Pokémon... I remember playing Pokémon R/S/E growing up and I also had a friend who played Pokémon at the time. Well I had to go on a vacation and my parents didn't let me bring my Gameboy. So I thought that my Blaziken and the rest of my Pokémon would get lonely so I asked my friend to "Pokésit" my team and gave him my game cartage to use. I came back home from the vacation and asked my friend for my game back. He said "sure" and handed my game back to me. Turns out he spent all of my money on Full heals because he thought they were like a cheaper full restore. Thinking back on it makes me very nostalgic.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Full Heal is a deceptive name. I remember having confusion about it too when I was younger.

[@Kaden216]

I really enjoyed this Q&A video, and of course, I love seeing the adorable Mew! I hope your channel keeps growing more and more! :)

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

Glad you enjoyed the video :) I'll probably do another one of these in gen 2 at 20k.

[@JokerHamster]

Congrats on 10k my friend. I love the girlfriend references and you are not the only one that has a hard time remembering Venomoth typing. I love your videos keep it up!

[@israelnevarez3118]

I love mew. It makes a great HM slave. I use the trainer fly glitch to get a couple. I get them at level 1 and transfer to gen 2. Beat a weak pokemon and it immediately goes to level 100. I really enjoy one with softboiled, pay day, dig, and any other utility move. Weird how the mechanics works, but makes it worth it in the end.

[@Arondight27]

one thing I feel about watching these challenges is they offer a glimpse into the kind of challenge I would like to have in a pokemon game, relying on creativity and wit (with some luck) to beat the game. however I am unable to manufacture this kind of experience myself, via time or patience (and I enjoy capturing and leveling pokemon). on top of that while sword and shield had their strong points and could be enjoyable, they left a sour taste in my mouth because it feels like gamefreak doesn't give a shit about the quality of their games . So, to see youtubers give so much time and effort just feels good, that we are not alone in out love. also I know competitive is an option for challenge in pokemon, but I feel that there are less options for weird and creative teams in competitive. plus the progression one gets in the story modes of pokemon games is more fun than just static battles again and again. thanks for the great video !

[@Loozar402]

I never really got into competitive battling for the same reason: too time consuming. But as much flak as Sword and Shield get for being blatantly rushed and unfinished games, I do appreciate the quality of life improvements that were made to make competitive team building far easier.

[@svx4401]

Then they introduced the 20 minute battle timer, essentially killing 6v6 singles format.

[@mr.tadpole1697]

I think the new UI looks great. And it's nicer to look at. Also congrats on 10k. I'm really glad I found this channel early on. Also, a little story. When I was a young boy, my older brothers gave me and my younger brother their copies of Diamond and Platinum. And the issue was, my copy of Diamond had been left in their pocket and put through the washing machine. Now the cartridge worked. It functioned, but I couldn't fit it in the Action replay, which was how we all played Pokemon cause we were dumb kids who couldn't strategize. But I had to play that game legit. And it taught me a lot about playing Pokemon and playing it well. I was still a kid so I did some digusting things I would never do now, like using a Legendary on your team and such. But in the end, I got over 125 hours of the game, and just about completed it, having only missed out on Dakari and about 30 pokemon who evolved in weird ways I didn't understand, like Friendship evolutions. Or having accidently killed some legendaries. I believe Mesprit was the one I killed.

[@Anonymous-oc4nn]

I started watching your videos when you had fewer than 500 subs. It's such a joy seeing you cross the 10K subs threshold. Awesome video as usual ❤ (And hey! Comments are good for the KZbin algorithm!)

[@isokey9035]

What’s your opinion about Scyther loosing his scythes hands when he evolves ?

[@slippy318]

It's alright cause then he gets BIG. MEATY. CLAWS.

[@tylerd1297]

I'm just glad Scizor eventually got his shine. It was such a tease in Gen 2/3 not having any good Stab move but in game you could run crazy baton pass chains with Marowak and Aerodactyl. And then the developers bestowed it with Bullet Punch and it was amazing.

[@RedCloudGawdian]

[@logans.7932]

A Gen 2 + 7 lover? Let’s gooooo. What a champion. I personally love them too because Gen 2 has great “rural vibes” if you catch my drift and you can get that old school Ken Sugimori watercolor art that looks so good. Also, I love tropical settings in fantasy/sci-fi RPG’s, they’re rarely utilized.

Also a cute TCG related note. Poison type, in the TCG, is the most varied represented type in the entire history of the game. In Gen 1-3, Grass is the umbrella that it falls under. In Gen 4-7, Psychic is the umbrella that they're under. Lastly as of Sword and Shield they have been slapped under the Dark umbrella.

[@meevs]

If you are sincerely interested in getting into competitive battling, generation 8 has made building competitive mins MUCH more accessible. You can still grind it out the old fashioned way, but they've also introduced items that can modify more or less every stat of significance on a pokemon to get what you want/need. Pokemon showdown is also a good way to give it a try and see if you like it, since you don't have to raise the mons at all.

[@Froakadoke]

Every time I see Mew, I just end up feeling frustrated that I have never and will never be able to catch him legitimately. As much as I love Pokemon, it's really hard to advocate version exclusives and event-only Pokemon.

Ok, Canada Goose Pokemon? Onoose - the Ogre Goose Pokemon (Name origin: Oni + Goose) Fighting/Flying Ability: Anger Point This waterfoul is native to regions north of Unova. It is a brutish, violent creature that attacks anything that moves, in contrast to the good nature of the people who live there. Signature attack: Aggressive Rampage Type: Fighting Power: 30 PP: 5 This move attacks two to five turns in a row, during which the opponent cannot attack or switch out (basically, Gen 1 Wrap/Fire Spin). Counts as both Fighting and Dark type. High critical hit chance. Must recharge for a turn after use (this is to prevent wraplocking).

[@msepol1168]

I was moved when I heard how you began making content on KZbin, and how you had to persevere until you finally started getting results. Congrats on what you've accomplished. You deserve it! I honestly think - as a viewer - that the most important thing is the narration. Video editing skills or fancy memes may be useful, but if the person who's doing the challenge doesn't have something unique to say, or if they can't bring an interesting angle to the things that are happening on screen, it just doesn't work. Fortunately, you were always good with this. Regarding the Kabutops vs Omastar video: personally, I'd prefer one single and long video. All the fun is just in one place and I've seen a lot of other KZbinrs making 1h-long videos. It doesn't bother me at all.

[@ScottsThoughtsPokemon]

I'm working hard to improve narration quality. Audio quality, line delivery, script structure & wording, and pacing are key areas that I'm working hard on.
