[@DennisTheZZZ]

Nope.

[@Alphakennyjuan]

Absolutely not. Make your bag I guess, but Raid is an awful game filled with predatory monetization.

[@novameowww]

markiplier

[@asoca1337]

another raid(or any other heavy p2w game) placement and i'll unsub for sure. The game has predatory monetization and you make it sound like it's a good game?

[@olmomedina1339]

@@asoca1337 The man needs to put food on the table. It's no different from sports team promoting betting houses.

[@nicolaistuhlmuller8718]

Only in Gen 1 do OHKO moves work on targets that are on a higher level. From Gen 2 onwards OHKO moves need the user to be at least the target's level, so that's why they aren't viable for Lapras.

[@UnopenedClosure]

12:08 Wait a second, Piloswine isn't until postgame! I recognize that footage :P

[@gabraltar7506]

it's worth noting that the ohko moves would not have worked on lapras either way due to its higher level iirc, bike dismounts save the most time if the background music (bgm) remains the same when going from one area to another. this is because dismounting the bike immediately returns the bgm to the default one so dismount before leaving an area prevents the game from having to deload the bike bgm *during* the load

[@PulseEffects]

I totally forgot about the higher level requirements of OHKO moves. Good catch!

[@UnopenedClosure]

@@PulseEffects This does mean that Cloyster was also technically OHKO-able, although it wouldn't have mattered much since the Lapras kill was such a giant framerule

[@datdramaplant4792]

😊

[@sagacious03]

Honestly, I'd love to see a Speedrun animation of this Clefable, considering how it goes through the whole run with almost nothing but Megaton punches & kicks that have, going by the description, "muscle-packed power". Fun analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

[@ivanbluecool]

Trainer:by mom I'll be champion today(leaves) Mom: hope he visits soon Trainer:(comes back immediately) I'm done.

Pokémon yellow speedrun in a nutshell

[@kylieschuttloffel1261]

Trainer from Pallet Town visits all eight gyms and beats the Elite Four within two hours. More at 11.

[@TheFatestPat]

13:00 Arcanneenay

[@LocalMaple]

Watch me Arcawhip. Now watch me Arcaneenay.

[@lwfawn]

Magneehmitee. La Prah. Neenaytails. Bye Sharp. Ahlteariaah. Hacsouris.

[@ShadowNinetales]

seems to be a weird running joke with several pokemon youtubers

[@Evixyn]

13:01 Ark Kan Ne Ne, had me laughing

[@starboiklem8381]

😂😂😂

[@irmoony]

I watch FlygonHG, so it didn't even register to me, lmao

[@matthewritt8836]

When I heard mkdasher my jaw hit the floor. That man was such a legend of Mario kart ds. I didn’t know he was still around this made me so happy

[@PulseEffects]

Haha, he actually has done so much for Pokemon as well! Including revolutionizing Pokemon HeartGold SoulSilver Speedruns.

[@MegaTealy]

This was insane. Just wow. Also I love this series where you talk about the speedruns and about the tas runs. Thanks for the content bud and keep it up!

[@Elite4koga]

13:00 arca nene lol

[@Chrisuan]

6:23 looks like I'm the best at missing moves lol love being included pulse ❤

[@chrisjohnsen8448]

I personally think Pokemon speed runs should divide into multiple categories based on starter choice. One will always be fastest, but I wanna know what the fastest Charmander run is like, or in Kalos the best of each combo of starters.

[@PulseEffects]

Sooo there is isn't really enough room on the main boards for that, but there is a leaderboard where you can find these different Pokemon runs on! Just gotta dig through the category extension leaderboards. www.speedrun.com/pkmnfrlgext?h=Alt_Main_Pokes-charizard&x=9d8o81w2-wlewjgxl.mln948oq

[@rooislangwtf]

The people complaining that this video is about a TAS are the same type of people that say everyone is using the same team on VGC videos 💀

[@hkumar30]

babe wake up PulseEffects just uploaded

[@mr.gamertristan5463]

Love your coverage of TAS speedruns! Keep the content coming, dude!

[@kirayoshikage8904]

Ark ah knee nay 💀

[@autumnshinespark]

That art is amazing. (Clefairy is my favorite pokemon!)😊

[@PulseEffects]

Can't recommend enough following the artist on Twitter! She's fantastic! twitter.com/BluefireMochi

[@whoevenknows5435]

Gonna be honest, i'm shocked the TAS is only 15 minutes behind the human. Considering what the TAS is doing, i could expect it to be alot faster

[@olvynchuru1663]

Absolutely amazing that the real world record is only 15 minutes slower than a freaking tool-assisted speedrun.

[@murums2104]

another banger video

[@DirewolfMemento]

Bro you deserve so many subs. These videos rock

[@IsuKen]

I think its interesting how something as simple as it not being a type introduced in a later generation makes this entirely possible.

[@vectinator7605]

When I originally played Pokémon Yellow Clefable was one of my favorites.

[@genocidehero9687]

Your vids are making me want to finish Violet

[@yaasinm]

Arca nene? hahahahahaahahahhahahhaahahahah

[@zrobe]

"Arcaninay" 😂

[@furball192]

We love your videos

[@bobobombastisch]

1:55 "like a battery to rely on" - "emerald"

[@phantompop3192]

I deem this video a good omen because I was thinking about adding Clefairy to my team in Leaf Green.

[@ManoDraugas]

Cool ! But I wish you had add which moves metronome had made us for when killing Agatha’s ghosts and Lances dragons.

[@JZer0]

And what if you allow it to enter a double battle and manip the moves for thief and recycle and probably trick?

[@TokuHer0]

I find it interesting Clefable ended up improving both the Gen1 and Gen3 Kanto TAS

[@patrykboduch9458]

I love the Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories music in the background ;)

[@misterlunihoch2941]

Loved that yugioh forbidden memory tournement music outnof nowhere there xD

[@LuichoX203]

9:50 is this quick claw quirk real??? its not even mentioned in bulbapedia, i wonder if its even implemented in showdown

[@mcfluffikinz7365]

It's 20% plus the regular 50% for being a speed tie, it's not a mechanic quirk it's just the probabilities in how they stack

[@Robrt476]

Well done, made me re think how i built my clefable and much potential ive wasted 😌

[@alexpotts6520]

Still waiting for the new credits warp any% TAS. Funnily enough that one also uses Metronome, purely to be able to call the move Recycle which is necessary for activating the credits warp and is otherwise extremely slow to gain access to.

[@WereDictionary]

I followed the competitive battling scene since Gen 1 and Clefable only began to soar once it got Magic Guard in Gen 5 - and then the Fairy typing in Gen 6 with it having access to Softboiled made it an ever-present menace. Its base stats ront really lean in any specific direction but between Cosmic Power/Stored Power, Calm Mind/a stupidly wide movepool inherited from its Gen 1 days, Softboiled, Wish, Thunder Wave, Toxic, Magic Guard, Unaware and even stupid things like Meteor Mash... Clefable can be anything it wants and fill any niche it wants. There are enough matches where someone didnt pay respect to Clefable and lost because of it. This feels like a documentary of a quieter time that had its own trials and tribulations. Gen 3 is way before Clefable ascended to the ever-present menace that it is today, and it still teared shit up.

[@plaguedoct0r]

I wonder if anyone's considered going faster in order to get a better time.

[@pettheturtle314]

13:00 FlygonHG moment

[@jamison2377]

What the hell is an “Arcanene”

[@VixstraLarge]

Arcanein, the pessimistic German Arcanine

[@MapleLunii]

The thing designed to get you to comment for the algorithm :)

[@Piratederp]

It's comment section engagement bait.

[@Nilsofdoom]

Would they be able to manipulate a Chansey to spawn in the safari zone with a lucky egg and then catch it? And would that egg be useful?

[@TheButtonMashGamer]

That Arcanine pronunciation hit me like a mental flashbang

[@isaacfox1874]

God i love the celeste ost

[@frankyquilavafireblast895]

Tool assisted or not that was still pretty freaking cool

[@petrie911]

You can tell the remakes are faithful because normal type is still OP.

[@fazzitron]

I was really hoping for it to end with explosion.

[@finalrush7]

XENOBLADE MUSIC I can hear it! :)

[@99tacogirr]

Why do you give multiple pronunciations for Pokémon names?

[@tapichoa]

W xenoblade music!!!

[@SmugLookingBarrel]

Man, I'd love to see someone calculate what the actual odds are of a human pulling off this run. Pokemon TASes in general are some of the most ridiculous amounts of RNG manipulation of any game I can think of.

[@GOATexp]

I respect the title change lol. Love TAS runs and their rng exploits but it felt a little clickbaity. Great video

[@thecryingsoul]

"Arche-Nay-nay" lmao

[@blazethegame]

I hate clicking into a video thinking some interesting story is going to happen, just for it to be ANOTHER TAS. *EDIT* TO BE CLEAR, THE ORIGINAL TITLE SAID “How speedrunners broke Fire Red and Leaf Green” which is a significantly more misleading title.

[@PulseEffects]

I personally love the science behind TASs and I feel the story behind this one is worth telling! If it's any consolation though, this is probably the last one I'll cover for a bit!

[@blazethegame]

@@PulseEffects I do enjoy the science behind them, but usually it tends to boil down to just “rng manipulation”

[@obtusedan]

​@@PulseEffectsCould've put TAS in the title or something

[@OnlyTAS]

Yeah, put it in the title. Seems a little bit scummy at best...

[@lewiswithey4472]

I disagree. It is "the best" because it's the fastest. It's a little less obvious in this title than some of his others but I don't think Pulse Effects is being misleading.

[@santhiagorocha8719]

I like TAS videos but you can put it on the title or something, there's no reason to hide

[@hipstersephiroth3722]

For God so loved the world he gaved his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but eternal John 3:16

[@adolinkholin3137]

Yo I can prove I've been playing Raid Free To Play for three years and got to end game having a lot of fun along the way. Takes a shit load of time daily though, so I stopped playing eventually.
