I never expected Pokemon Radical Red to be THIS difficult.

My entertainment for 2 hrs is set now thanks smant

every video: *fasts forwards through the fight with new pokemon and moves I've never experienced before* "WAIT WHAT HAPPENED??" *proceeds to keep fast forwarding through the fight* -_-

[@gerardogonzalez4158]

most relatable part when he said screw this game and switches over to something else

[@BuffyFreak192]

Hate this fight. She legit cheats. She changes moves based on what your switching even after she should have picked a move. Also the changing of move choice based on your held items....

[@saboboia]

so happy to finally have some 2023 streams

I’m currently trying radical Red while having it randomized. It is definitely much harder.

[@averycowart3296]

Ericas protean meowscarade was brutal.

[@D-Dova]

Randomized isnt harder its easier cause the challenge is harder with the perfectly set enemy teams

[@D-Dova]

Easier not harder randomized

[@straunconway2570]

Even randomized the boss trainers have the same pokemon teams, and randomized moves makes it to where can't set up since never know what moves they have

[@averycowart3296]

@@D-Dova its definitely a bit more challenging as i cant exactly find pokemon to help me against boss fights. I had to beat erica witha garbodor xD

For some reason when i played it , erika had a megenium and iit was shiny

[@Frenchhornhero]

You and he probably played different versions. I think he was playing 3.1, and if you played recently the newest update is 4.1.

[@kennethbrumwell5981]

Idk what's up with ant's demeanor for these radical red streams but he either doesn't enjoy this or he's genuinely focused.

[@juanpaz5124]

Let the stream slave cook

[@Nameless0ne419]

i think he’s just aggravated. Its one thing for a game to be challenging, but another for it to be complete absolute bs 😅 majority of the pokemon he fights just out speed and do way more damage than they normally should. I mean it seems like not even defensive built pokemon are even an acceptable strat in this game. Yet this game offers… Slowpoke… in one of the tag team areas… 🙄

[@davidhayden6481]

Yeah I feel like maybe he should've went with that opening statement of "if it's just ridiculous I'll switch to normal" or something along those lines

[@PopcrankFrank]

@@davidhayden6481i think the game is still pretty bs in normal or even easy mode. The only difference from hardcore is slightly easier enemy teams

[@sworbet7708]

So happy to watch more of this journey 🍿

[@mikesusowski6777]

i encountered 4 shinys by the time i was here and 3 of them were of trainers , 1 from surge , 1 from erika , 1 from the johto ghost gym leader and 1 wild ponyta and when i encountered the ponyta i had no pokeballs since it was early game on route 2

[@HunterKotler]

If you put your pokemon in the PC and take them out again they are fully healed

[@Ashley-eh2mp]

I beat radical red once but i didnt like the game because it takes away from rng.. i noticed this at the final fight i saved before and would retry but i would always lose a specific mon to a crit no matter how many times you reset the game and would burn one of my mon everysingle time at the same moment in the battle unless i used a different mon for the specific matchup. So it just felt unfair this way anyway beat it eventually but never replayed because of the predetermined hax the game uses

[@Maydup_Nem]

That’s save states for ya Code duplicates

[@NoahTempleton-zk2bc]

If you use save states the rng doesn't change however if you use in game save resets the rng will be different every time but it will always lean towards getting crits and status effects no matter what mon you use or they use

[@LastAphelion]

I sometimes rage quit Pokerogue for the same reason, seeded rng is garbage. Everytime I have a major issue with an oppenent always landed a status/crit/sweeping my team, it comes down to, not being intelligent by finding a new tactic, but by save scumming until you find the right action that changes the seed rng to prevent the same thing happening again. Basically it rewards you for doing the wrong and not always smart thing, to alter the time line. Which is why I don't mind save scumming pokerogue. I am not repeating 1000s of runs because seeded rng told me to restart. Meanwhile I am literally okay with being brutalized by kaizo ironmon natural bad rng. That's fun compared to unchangeable rng.

[@peebuki1807]

hey man why are you using cut like that when it's such a weak, normal type move? i could understand if it was a stronger move and maybe say a steel type but you shouldn't use it in battle like that...

[@Whorpse]

Its weird seeing cut be useful in battle lol

[@rubenzafiro2523]

imagine play without S in all IV all time...

[@brargaming9086]

Bro just have flame orb and zebstrika which have 50% sp attack boost when burn ability💀💀

[@tastychapstick2213]

booty best breakfast is a BANGER of a name

[@Olker8]

I hate how the ai will change based one what moves you use. It feels unfair.

[@joshsnyder3979]

Smant I dont know if you know this but cut is a 40 power non-stab move

[@TheLayZTaco]

If this is a joke, wp sir. If not, it got changed in the hack

[@alexk1811]

Does anyone know if I'd be right in saying that the Radical Red challenge was never finished?

[@alecm4295]

I'm not sure if it was but I don't know if he'd upload vods if he didn't finish

[@LunaDarkMagicianGirl]

Dude why did you use cut?? It's just a weak normal type move??

[@jacobkohr7243]

Cut was modified to a base 75 power steel move in this rom hack.

this game is on crack to be honest

[@EdtifonsiBrown-dk9po]

No.

[@jamesfitzpatrick3725]

Upload on main pleaseeeeeee😢😢😢

[@Gnetc]

You should use dox and damage calc, im just saying it now. xD Its not cheating at all, its to balance out your unfair odds. Also get a mon with dual wingbeat and get talonflame with flare blitz. Cant remember where to get it tho, but you can. And you should have picked charizard as your starter, its so good for a lot of fights, including Erica.

[@Bimgo6]

Awesome video

[@brianstartedthefire]

I mean this genuinely, how is this rom hack fun 😭. Pokémon seemingly have random stat increases, how can you even plan for that?

[@starbelly2000]

Just finished the last vid. Lesssgo!

[@tbelleville92ify]

You gotta slow it down and think this game through @smallant . Most romhacks you can brute force and go fast but you’re just waisting time trying to go fast with radical red hardcore. Normal is hard in itself and you can’t blast through.

[@awsomedude12345678]

Radical red is actually a trash game The balancing is horrible and the ai just cheats like crazy

[@Gnetc]

That's the whole purpose. Radical red is for all those, that hate having no challenge in pokemon games. That's why you use dox and damage calc, to even the odds. And if you know what to use, you will have a much better time. Like, he clearly needs a talonflame for erica. Plus charizard would have been a much better starter, it gets dual wingbeat. And even with the ai cheating, you KNOW how it cheats.

[@awsomedude12345678]

@Gnetc thats not pokemon anymore you shouldn't have to memorize an entire new moveset for all pokemon Pokemon is fun because you can ajust to the enemy getting hit by a sacred fire from a mudkip is just dumb

[@tedbayham1849]

Difficulty hacks aren’t for everyone. If you find them too difficult you can always play a vanilla game 🙂

@tedbayham1849 i don't find it too difficult i dont think its fun
