Nobody except Raz and I guess Choccy has good Sp. Def, most water-types work off a sp.atk stat, and it's just argh
Also I just left ZaneLee at the daycare.
I figured they'd get exp that way while I walk around training... sigh.
sorry
Ooooo, Choccy learned Cosmic Power
At least i get solar beam
That is a plus, though Solrock for whatever reason has a higher ATK stat
Just gonna fight my way through Meteor Falls and back to Mt. Chimney.
I'd really like to get some Heart Scales, but they're very rare things in smashable rocks
And I'm not at a point where I can just mug Luvdisc for Heart Scales
Raz does learn some electric type moves; I taught her Volt Switch, so that might come in handy
Ok, rude. Geodude actually got off Smack Down against Choccy
New Nuzlocke
Heartgold or Soulsilver?
found my old red and black DS
oh right, neither works
rip
Maxie tried to educate me
He didn't
Also, Mightyena? Total jerk
Friggin' Swagger and me having the worst luck is a terrible combination
Also: Ren just face-tanked Tabitha's Koffing using Self-Destruct.
Only like 2 damage
god do I wish I had a 3DS that actually worked, I'd nuzlocke X for one
Ohhh my goodness Raz finally learns a good rock-type move in Power Gem
Yeah, Nuzlockes for X-Y are fun, given how bio-diverse Kalos is
Buying all the Moomoo Milk
Annnd I got an egg.
Alright.
Flannery wasn't too difficult.
Just clicked Stealth Rock and threw a bunch of boulders
Annnnd now, I'm in the desert and will select the Root Fossil
Mostly cause I know I'm just having the worst luck against water-types and need something good to even the tables
@sand forge You are Lileep! (But it's alright if you don't wish it so)
And now, to run all over the West side of Hoenn for errands before I go challenge the next gym
Boom, full team of 6 now
Training will wait, gonna take on Norman
I'm gonna end this man's whole career, with Protect
DAMMIT WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE SINGING AND ATTRACTING
Argh, this Delcatty is the worst
You're gonna run out of PP for Doubleslap eventually
Sand stream means solar's sand rush finally works, raz can get a spdef boost
and I have infinite chip 
Or maybe you got a TM and I forgot
Yeah it's a tm symph
Ahhh
Alright, won this slapfight with the Delcatty.
Argh.
Using only Ren for these battles, since he shoulllld be close to evolving.
Lairon will be excellent for the upcoming battles
Annnnd Ren has successfully evolved into Lairon

ooooh god this Zangoose has Revenge
Nearly KO'd Raz, but Sturdy kicked in.
I still think Retaliate has the sickest animation ever
It's just so cool
And, that's a shutout win for me against Normal
I mean, Norman
His name is Norman
And with the help of surfing raccoons and candy, I've evolved Raz into Probopass
Heaven or Hell, let's rock
ohhh dear
You have a GBA SP too? Nice.
You got this~
Oh no.
Ok.
So what went wrong was actually pretty easy to explain
and also fairly embarrassing
Bruno’s Machamp took out Halfmiss and Symph
For those who don’t know, Cross Chop is a 100 power move with a high crit rate and 80% accuracy
I figured Half could stall it out
Cross Chop crit 3 times
and a high roll on the last one took them out from full
Oh jeez
Yeah, Cross Chop is friggin' dangerous. I can see why that'd hurt a whole lot
My plan was basically to just stall the five Cross Chops while setting up with Swords Dance
But 3 crits in a row was too much to bear
Then I panicked, switched in Symph, and they got Rock Slided
Honestly just seems you were way too unfortunate. 3 times in a row is just, the worst.
Had to PP stall Rock Slide with Gooey
If I had Bruno’s crit luck in GSC OU I would run Machamp in every game
You made it to Bruno, so I'd say you got what it takes.
Just, seems like this was just wildly unfortunate, was all. Don't see much changes I can suggest other than to try again
Heh
Yeah, Explosion just vaporizes most anything. Here, it's a 250 power move that halves the defense stat for damage calculation
You'd practically have to resist it and have a high enough defense or HP stat to survive
Okay so
There is one key thing I’ve learned
With Light Screen up, Summer can take a Houndoom Flamethrower
So my plan for Karen (is risky as fuck but)
oooh
Screen on Umbreon with Ren
Get the kill with Summer
Sleep Powder while Screen is still up
If I miss, it’s a wipe
Yeah, this sounds very, very risky.
But if it helps, it might cement your ticket to see Lance
Gooey has Spore but
4x weakness
There’s no way they take the Flamethrower
…this does give me some pause though
What am I going to do for, like… the non-Dragonites
Honestly, Charizard seems like the biggest threat, as is Aerodactyl
I actually lowkey think the most dangerous mon Lance has is Aero
Yeah, Aerodactyl is friggin' fast
Nothing I have can outspeed it
No way any bug-type is gonna outrun it
and I’m pretty sure it has Rock Slide
So you might need Halfmiss to go toe-to-toe with it.
Metal Claw is supereffective if nothing else
On the bright side, each of the Dragonite really are a non-issue.
Well, almost. Hyper Beam still hits stupid hard, but they have friggin' twister, so that's about it.
Seriously, was there any good reason to have everything of Lance know Hyper Beam? Probably not, but I just love how all-out the team setup is
Hyper Beam for everyone
Me: “Ren, use Light Screen so that you can tank all of the special attacks and use Ice Punch in return”
Lance:
Ouch, Yeah
Like
Hyper Beam is a physical attack
Go for it~
Yeah, could just be as likely they'll use Surf instead.
Huh, totally forgot about this, I was shocked just now
Zane I hate to disappoint you but Slugma is literally unpettable
I can't even give them the pats without burning my hand off
Aaaaaaa
That’s okay, hugs is a fine substitute
Btw, where the hell is Umbreon, Goodra and Lapras came out already, where’s my defender eevee 
Choccy can still eat Pokepuffs... for some reason
I don't see where the mouth is on this thing
...Actually, I wonder where Probopass' mouth is too. Does it like
Just, absorb the puff?
Inhale puff with nose 
probopaine
Are you suggesting that Propass snorts these pastries
what
Ok, you just made this sound more hillarious than what I had in mind. Well done.
Alright, gonna train more but here's a screenshot update
My mind is a weird place and I’m using it the way it is 
Gonna train Zane, Choccy and Dek more. Summer and Redn likely don't need too much adjustments
You're legit a sleeper hit in the making; P sure this whole team would just insta-lose to like, friggin' Roserade or something
Hard part is getting there
Only mons left would be Rhyhorn, Relicanth and Corsola for the first part.
After I whip Groundon I got way more options.
This play when you are challenging Johto Gym Leader in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal.
To check out their battle, just click on the video cards ("!")
Main goal of these video concept ideas:
My main goal for these kind of videos is to be as creative as possible!
Let me explain:
- Firstly, my very first channel Mixeli (But also my latest o...
The bit that goes hard
It do indeed slap
You know what has come in genuine clutch
@mighty storm learned Safeguard like one level ago
It is saving some fights
Okay.
Machamp time.
Half, the floor is yours.
2 down.
Fuck.
Another high roll crit.
Does Reflect reduce the damage of a crit?
Fuck
OKAY
Machamp is down with only Half dead
Oh my god.
Karen just destroyed my entire strategy.
Umbreon has Mean Look.
No like get this
My entire strategy was to use Light Screen to let Summer take one hit
So that I can sleep Houndoom
But I can’t switch to Ren
Renren
I see
Yeah
Wiped by Houndoom
Hey chat, should I be saving before E4 members or should I keep resetting after a loss?
Um, save before, then reset?
👍 for saving, 👎 for resetting
Raz wants to do this fair lol


Dark Grass making your capture rates lower is such an annoying mechanic
There must be a way to counter it, no?
not really...
it's a game mechanic
only way you can lessen the reduction is by capturing more mons
with 30 or more in your box the reduction is only 50% rather than 2/3
Map randomizer going well 
@normal cave
The ghost boys
This is a WIP of the entire project!
Still, some of the roughs will probably change on the final version.
I'm still working on them, I've been busy with work stuff but I will be back to them!
Deleting in a couple of hours, tell me your favorite!

Challenge for you all
What are the Pokemon in Pokemon Stadium 2’s intro?
Double points if you know the order
Answer: ||Scizor, Donphan, Bellossom, Skarmory, Umbreon, Pichu, Lugia, Ho-Oh||
Rip raz, you were a legend
Bianca's mismagius had secret sword and one shotted from full

Hits defense and not spdef
@lone harbor beb you're pretty broken
wtf

all i expected was for you to play perfectly
Secret Sword bypassing Sandstorm buff 
Got a nice mon to sweep the game with. Just needs to find the actual gyms themselves. 
Okay, E4 attempt #3.
I'll let you guys know when I reach, like... Bruno or Karen.
You have been gemed to death
Mienshao had psychic gem psystrike

how the fuck did it randomly get exactly that combo
Uhh better movesets is enabled + all enemy trainers have a held item
so if theyve a gem their moveset will have a gem-compatible move
Thats two mons lost to gem moves now
Ren did enable the setting for extra items that make sense + better movepool
so ya know
fair and balanced mechanic
you lasted 6 
Koga's Ariados is on god the funniest mon in any Elite Four
Do y'all know its moves?
oh actually
Like the idea is good
The AI is stupid
Double Team, Spider Web, Giga Drain
and Baton Pass
Trapping plus evasion passing is terrifying
but luckily Koga basically will not do it
Have you guys heard Karen's quote?
why would i need to hear Karen's quote when i can just do customer service? 
Griff died to crit stone edge, not sure what I expected
Dek picks up a double kill after tanking a powder snow
Oh baby a triple
"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites." - Karen
you guys ever get the feeling brock and bruno are related
- heavy tan
- big eyebrows
- loves using onix
Sand rush solar to clean up the rest
moral of the story bolt strike is kinda broken @outer eagle
it do be a strong move
we're up to the machamp.
Speed control is really good too
scarf dek and sand rush
i am going to do something
r i s k y
i think my best option might be switching between halfmiss and zane
zane double resists cross chop
and scizor can take a rock slide
the issue is the health drain
OKAY
MACHAMP IS OUT OF CROSS CHOPS
THE SCARY PART IS OVER
FINALLY got past machamp without a mon lost!!
Good for you.
Congrats!
i fucking hate this umbreon so much
Why?
I retaught it toxic from the move relearner
Good luck w karen raz
@random stream mvp
Big Sand conspiracy
that moveset is pretty good
I need to find a brightpowder seller
why
it's only a 10% debuff
also it was probably a bad idea to do a BW2 Map Randomizer cuz the world is so much bigger and non-linear compared to Emerald 
Brightpowder + sand veil
i essentially have to predict when she's going to use houndoom
i was sure she'd switch it in on gooey
fuck
houndoom is coming in and screens are down
i lose
No brightpowder sellers, guess ill go with big root
without screens it's impossible for anything to take a hit
that's fucking miserable
the worst part is
i was trying to be careful
and i got a random crit that killed vileplume
i wanted to set up screens when it was at low hp
that's so unfortunate
i might have to save before karen
like, the houndoom is literally just "you get one shot or it wipes your entire team"
i don't fully want to do that but i might have to
isn't there anything better
hell, even Muscle Band
or a Gem of some kind?
save the ground gem if it's not buyable
you can technically farm it but it's a pain in the ass
same for Sitrus Berry
Gotcha. Final cheren fight I think
we had a good run of 5 minutes exca, fire blast lunatone
Look what I found 
Gonna count it as two areas since it's from badge check gates
Dream ball is for dream world stuff
huh.
man Ren's losing stuffs continuously now
okay

as i said i really do just have to save before karen
wow Rotom is so good here
there's no real alternative
Yeah I went to shopping mall 9 now
My options are regen volt switch rotom heat
Or serene grace rotom-wash
Went with QD serene grace rotom-wash with three secondary effect moves
what were the other forms' ability btw
move tutor gave muddy water and tbolt, tms were qd lava plume
just curious
like it's unsustainable for me to just replay the entire e4 every time
Og had levitate frost had mummy? mow sap sipper
dont remember what air had it was a meme
Could just run surf then, I dont like hydros accuracy either
each form has a different tutor learnset
so if you see any other broken tutor move one form might learn it
Let's see if any of them have scald
scald probably breaks this washtom
qd serene grace scald 
60% Burn 
Yeah I technically have it w plume but scald is a diff story
interesting that Wash doesn't learn Scald
that's kinda ironic
wait is Scald a tutor move?
or are you just checking level up learnset
Checking level ups
this game has like negative -5 tutors
And I dont have it in tms
true 
Do you remember how wings work? can they exceed 100 evs?
cool
wait don't you need to sell them to the dude in Undella
attempt on karen specifically #2
and you don't get access to Undella pre-E4 in BW
literally i just need one fucking move to hit and then i can play the game
Oh hmm theres like the pearl strings
but that move is sleep powder
and the ore guy
pearl strings are fine
all the other valuables can be sold in Icirrus
or if you're really into shrooms for some reason
i did the maths and gooey can't survive even with screens
the girl next to Nimbasa
symph the pinsir can but can't ohko with submission iirc
man submi sucks 
the worst meta move
submission?
it was like the only available Fighting type in the earlier gens iirc
with okish power
you know the worst part of this
Fan learns judgment ryuji and I do have a bunch of plates 
every time i fail i have to fight the fucking umbreon again
and that umbreon is extremely annoying
Borrowed discharge from Mow's learnset, so now ive a 60% parahax move and a 60% to burn
The big problem with Submission in gen 2 was that Cross Chop existed.
Breeding also gave the non-Lee hitmons access to High Jump Kick
Og had toxic boost
The nightmare is over.
Good for you.
Welcome to the only pokemon in gen 2 that willingly learns Submission competitively
The choice is between guaranteed spa raise from fiery or lava plume burn, I think ill take plume burn
Even Typhlosion learns a fighting move for TTar and it goes with Dynamic Punch instead
right, so.
karen's gengar does have one thing that concerns me
starts with d and ends with estiny bond
Just for reference, by Gen 2:
Hitmonlee had High Jump Kick by Gen 1
Hitmonchan and Hitmontop could learn High Jump Kick in Gen 2
Machamp and Primeape got Cross Chop in gen 2
That left you with mostly pokemon who didn't care for a fighting move, including Poliwrath
Non fighting pokemon who learned a fighting move:
Alakazam, Typhlosion, Feraligatr use Dynamic Punch TM instead due to damage difficulties
Electabuzz and Magmar have Cross Chop
This leaves you with the only pokemon willing to learn Submission by gen 2 be:
Kabutops
Pinsir
Mew
Mewtwo
And with Mew and Mewtwo, it is still up for debate with Dynamic Punch

Time for me to ice punch bance
This is likely going to take a few attempts.
just went to make dinner

60% para, 60% burn, 40% acc drop 
attempt 1 failed due to a crit
honestly i'd rather just run Surf over the 40% acc drop
but you do you
i have ptsd from moves with <95% accuracy
Muddy water might clutch in e4 
yeah can confirm bolt strike has missed like 10 times now
still v good though
at least bolt strike is a coverage move
attempt 2 also failed to a crit.
i have been crit hyper beamed twice
i'll be damned if i'm gonna have my best spammable STAB be a middling accuracy move
attempt 3 lost to charizard.
Gonna stop at vroad for now
Punch em!
i think the charizard might actually
not be possible
WAIT
SUMMER GOT A SLEEP POWDER OFF
winnable
noo
well, i have exactly one hope but
do you have a rare candy
no
if this works it will be the biggest cheese in pokemon history
it didn't
attempt 4 failed due to charizard
fuck meeeeee
the charizard is honestly a worse problem than the dragonites
...there is one thing i can try
it's a colossal gamble
but if it takes a mountain of cheese to win
so be it
Clef really is your true love 
hey theoretically speaking i only ever have attempt to cheese Ultra-Necrozma in my gen 7 nuzlockes tbw
aaaand ren got crit
Pfft
somehow Ren always manifests a Clef into his encounter pool
okay so here are my two giga gimmicks for the charizard
#1, less gimmicky
i finally used a tm
summer can tank a single wing attack or flamethrower from full health
Best girl kid
Oh my
True love will find way to connect, throughout past and future lives
Attract!
correct
charizard gimmick #1 is attract
from there i take advantage of free turns to mash sleep powder and psybeam
i almost never use Thundurus-T but that dude always finds a way into my encounters 
the second gimmick is much worse but also way funnier if it works
i gave gooey a quick claw lmao
Unless @random stream was playing a game where Clef isn’t in the game I suppose
Nah
are you fucking kidding me
Ren would mod the game to add clef
ren got frozen
Noooooo
You said the words I kept in my brain lol
It will be the funniest thing ever to see Ren somehow got a Clef that’s not even in a game’s file 
i hate lance y'all
WHAT IS HYPER BEAM'S CRIT RATE
Pov: rby tauros
Suddenly feeling hungry for some steaks
i'm getting fucking flinch hacked by aero
Pfft, Lance always finds new ways to get people calling him a hacker 
he is a hacker
rock slide is impossible on gsc aero
also we're up to 4 rock slides and 3 flinches
4 flinches
It still going up

i am playing against a fucking chipp zanuff in pokemon form
HAH I ONLY HAVE TO HIT YOU ONCE FUCKER
fucking hell
run ended
i'm doing one more and then calling it a night
if i get crit hyper beamed one more time i am going to burn rby ou to the ground
Slowly approaching 1400 again after falling from 1600 to 1100
lost the game to a rock slide flinch
you know why
flinch cost me a single turn of screen
and i died
y'all know rock slide has 90 accuracy
why can't lance miss
YO NO WAY
GOOEY QUICK CLAW WORKED
CHARIZARD'S DOWN
I HAVE NO REN BUT IT'S ONE MORE DRAGONITE
Sending you some energy
energy failed
Lost?
fire blast is 70% accurate and this fucker never misses
he never misses
i give up
Alexa, play BROFIST, by Pewdiepie and Roomie
i'm trying my absolute best on this but it's so luck dependent
whether you get crit, whether aero flinches, whether attract works
like
summer actually did get an attract off
wanna know what happened
‘Never give up ✊’
charizard ignored infatuation 3 turns in a row
Maybe grind levels a bit
i really don't want to
plus i spent a lot of resources getting items for this attempt
Well, you still wanna finish the run right
You didn’t play the whole game to just end it here did you 
i'm just not able to get any luck on it
like if i got a crit, or a random para, i'd be thrilled
lance's luck is obscene
Keep trying 👍
the most luck i got is gooey quick claw
I meant to sleep a while ago.
But I decided to try one last time.
Summer gave her life keeping the Charizard locked down.
And then…
@random stream
The run was also fucking saved by @silver vigil
Quick Claw Spore shut down the Charizard after it finally got through Summer’s defences.
Congrats, do gsc have the Red fight or that’s just HGSS
GSC has Red but fuck I am not worrying about that for a while
Sorry for the shit quality but
Here’s the Hall of Fame team
Oh hey, I’m actually there 
Also Ren really became our frontline fighter, Renren best

Watching the videos makes me realize it’s been 10 since we had mega 
Not gonna miss it personally
It was cool initially but I just grew to dislike it over time
Also:Ayyyyyy Congratulations Raz
Pokemon TCG keeps having absolutely normal ones mmm yup
And remember, this is with the better card pull ratios
Those pull rates were even worse back in Gen 8
Don't think it will be anywhere as bad in the western TCG in June, but it will still be a bit obnoxious
Yep, I saw this one coming.
Not that it'll affect me, since I just want the regular prints for decks anyways
On the bright side, I'd wager most everything else will be very much readily available when Paldea Evolved releases
Actually Japan has worse pull rates than the rest of the world.
Unless they slightly improved things in JP and thats what youre referring to
They slightly improved all pull rates
Western Pull Rates were also really, really bad around Fusion Strike / Brilliant Stars
remember when in gen 7 you could go around smelling people's beds?
...Yeah, that was, odd
Apparently the protagonist just, knew about people's stories based on bed scent.
Alright, gonna do something here, and catch a Pelliper. Not to use though, still gonna stick to rock-types
But the reason is twofold:
A: Pelliper can be a mon with Fly, and Surf.
And B: If caught I can search for it on DexNav and get a way to get Lucky Eggs
Only mon I can catch that I can use, that learns Thief on the other hand, is Rhyhorn... all the friggin' way in the Safari Zone
So I'd have to really fight my way through the east side of Hoenn just to get there.
Training's gotta be done
“Fly”
Coward
I have simply walked everywhere
Aw, but my legs hurrrrrt...
Might do one of these nuzlockes
Never really done a serious attempt at one
Can’t you just use the Lati
Aw, maaaan...
Haven't done either a mono run or a nuzlocke tbh
Fly isn’t a required HM
It's pretty great so far.
Yeah, to be fair, by the time I get a rock-type that knows Fly (Aerodactyl), I already got Latios to cart me around
So I might as well keep it that way.
Raz finally finished their bug-type one of Crystal, and hoo boy was it a trip
I didn’t finish it
Well, you entered the hall of fame, I suppose
Halfway there!
...Oh wow, I just met a Jigglypuff out near Meteor falls.
I keep forgetting that Jigglypuff can be encountered in RSE. Hmm.
Annnnd Ren's trying to learn Iron Tail. Nope
Much as I love these "go for broke" moves, Iron Tail is one I just have the worst luck with
I keep getting fucked by Vaporeon in randbats
So tanky, wish-passing constantly
Never get anything supereffective against water
Snatch them wishes
Aaaaagh
Also yeah, Vaporeon really is friggin' durable.
I'd restart my crystal run and do monotype
I really friggin' hate these Hariyama. They are fighting types, so of course rock-types will hurt
But they also all have Knock-Off, so I can't even send Choccy after it without getting hit hard in response.
The main issue is that any type I want to do is probably hell early game 
In terms of crystal I mean
Fire could be pretty alright. You got Cyndaquil, and you can catch Growlithe pretty early too
@dawn skiff hold on
Ye?
Normal: Sentret, Hoothoot, Teddiursa, Pidgey, Rattata, Spearow, Dunsparce
Fire: Cyndaquil, Growlithe
Water: Totodile, Poliwag
Grass: Chikorita, Bellsprout, Hoppip
Rock: Geodude
Ground: Geodude, Phanpy
Poison: Zubat, Gastly, Spinarak, Weedle, Bellsprout
Flying: Hoppip, Zubat, Pidgey, Spearow, Hoothoot, Ledyba
Psychic: Unown lol
Bug: Caterpie, Weedle, Spinarak, Ledyba
Ghost: Gastly
Oh cool
This is what’s available before Falkner
Psychic is technically doable because after Azalea Town you actually like catch some mons
I think there's Abra and Drowzee
But before then it is literally Unown and Slowpoke only
I could spell something really funny
Oh yeah, Slowpoke
Ye
Obligatory Ducky shoutout
Slowpoke is in the well yes
Though I'd be forced into Slowbro I'm p sure
But you can’t get it
Eggy requires Headbutt
Oh
Also nah like Psychic is easy past the bottleneck I think
You technically can have Smoochum.
I know girafarig is in some hidden part of a cave where you need like , surf and water
If you're friggin' lucky
Not before Azalea Town
are y’all listening to me :c
mono steel run any %
Wrong
I might be thinking of another Pokemon
You might be thinking of Wobbuffet
You’re thinking of Wobbuffet yeah
Technically in Dark Cave, but you can't get to it
It's in a different sector of the cave
There’s one more exclusive mon from Gen 2 IIRC
But absolutely nobody cares
until you’re going for a living pokedex
and then you cry
This is true
That Onix is just a chad
But also it's Onix so
Level 3 Onix
Yeah
More than enough to ruin Falkner
Lmao
It is also found in a single body of water in the entire game
Crystal has a bunch of dumb exclusive exemptions
The feebas effect
That body of water is only accessible after Mahogany Town
A grand total of one trainer in Johto has a Remoraid
It might unironically be the most obscure mon in GSC
Honestly, very inclined to believe that
At least Qwilfish has some fans after Legends
And Stantler.
You technically aren't forced into any battles before the first silver one right
Obscure as in hard to find
Nope
Bc I'm thinking I might actually try mono poison
It's all wilderness encounters before then
But I wanna catch a poison type before I'm forced to box lol
Gastly is early too if you roam at night
Completely unrelated but its been impossible to get a Hisui starter 2nd Wave to have Alphas rip. But in the meantime I managed to get Alpha Shiny Goomy, Rotom and Spiritomb,
Nice finds
It's fun stuff
Summer's on as Golem, and it's just wild having Golem as soon as level 25
Oh, uggggh, I have to go across the ocean to get to Sea Mauville
starting the run
Every swimmer has a water-type, so having literally anyone out other than Dek (Lileep) is asking for trouble.
you get pokeballs before your first encounter with silver right
To my knowledge, yep
also not nicknaming any non poison pokemon i happen to get given
say, my starter
ah darn
can't get pokeballs until i fight silver
so i'll have to do my first battle of a mono poison run with no poison types lol
Yeah, cruising on without until your first catch is fine.
Just, soon as you got the means to do so, you ditch everything else
might train it 1 level just to ensure i don't white out idk
I think Silver is one of the few trainers you can lose to, and the story still progresses
fair enough
I could be wrong and that could be a HG/SS only thing, but I think it may be the case, so not much to worry on either way
Youch. Still, you got next time
The first mankind around the world
Salt
@void herald
wish saltdust fit but ah well

Caught my first poison type
who gives off spinarak vibes 🤔
Unrelated to training so far but I set the trendy saying.
It's now "Rage Candy Bar collections"
I miss how nonsensical Trendy Saying were in RSE
You'd have crap like "BIG SERVICE" and a lot of other stuff you could only get from the selected words you can pick
damn okay this nickname buisness is hard
Yep, names are hard.
idw name someone after a big user first time
only to box them later
ah screw it
i'll prob use shortform names
there
claf is a spinarak
gonna train claf
wow this is harder than i thought
Welcome to my world
first trainer battle with claf
“I’ve been hearing a lot about HOT GIRL”
Pwwwwwwf
These people in Dewford must be incredibly bored to latch onto these kinds of phrases
You wanna know something dumb @bleak pine
Lay it on me
wait are there poison/waters in johto
In RSE, the trendy phrase actually has a genuine effect
stupid question of course there are
Tentacool can be found, yeah
Tentacool
yeah
Also
Yeaaaa. I think it was the location of Feebas
i'm asking bc i need the hm slave
No
is it quilfish
Yes
Yeaaaa
fair enough
Qwilfish is actually very easy
There's an easier way
You know one of those fishermen you can battle for their Pokegear number?
Omg, they never fixed the Shiny Giratina using Shadow Force crash in PLA lmaoooooo
Incorrect
You don’t need a great rod
Oh
THIS BRELOOM IS THE WORST ARGH
- Get the Old Rod from the Fisher in the Route 32 Pokemon Centre
- Get Fisher Ralph’s phone number - he’s the guy with the Goldeen - and make it the only one in your Pokegear
- Go back to New Bark Town
- Abuse your mother by constantly forcing her to switch Daylight Savings on and off
- This will force Fisher Ralph to call you over and over, eventually triggering his Qwilfish swarm event
- Set the time to be correct and then use the Old Rod on Route 32 before midnight
You have a 15% chance of finding Qwilfish with the Old Rod during a swarm
Ayy
now i gotta get a zubat
and a bellsprout then i have my team for the next few battles
lmao poor sucker
yes i know the thing is pathetic
Oh btw
vine whip for the next few levels
Actually might as well uh
ah damn it
lick is a ghost move
can't train against normals yet
caught a bellsprout
A list of useful Pokegear numbers in Crystal:
Picnicker Gina (Route 34) - Leaf Stone
Schoolboy Alan (Route 36) - Fire Stone
Fisher Tully (Route 42) - Water Stone
Lass Dana (Route 38) - Thunderstone
Camper Todd (Route 34) - Goldenrod Department Store bargain sale
Fisher Ralph (Route 32) - Qwilfish swarm
Bug Catcher Arnie (Route 35) - Yanma swarm
Hiker Anthony (Route 33) - Dunsparce swarm
Hiker Anthony is a brutally obscure one because his swarm isn’t for the route he’s on
bellsprout is renren lol
Also
My biggest tip for Crystal players
BUENA’S
PASSWORD
Seriously underrated shit
What doed it do?
caught zubat
Every night between 6 and midnight Buena says a password on the Pokegear radio
If you go to Goldenrod and tell her the password, you get a point
2 points is a Full Restore iirc, 3 points is a Rare Candy or Nugget, 5 is a stat booster item
The Nugget is the big one here tbh
Thinking about it, gen 2 had some really obscure stuff
ye
As long as you tune in it’s impossible to run out of cash in Crystal
Lodsemone
Anyway
btw
That’s why I like it a lot
I forgot just how long gen 7 cutscenes take

Yea
Hobestly
Alright, enough training.
man the worst off of my pokemon has to be the fucking bellsprout
Just depresses me how modern pokemon seems to have stopped included these little details and side features
Time to head to the east side of Hoenn
given bellsprout tower and falkner are both bad for it
The thing that makes Gen 2 my favourite for this is that a lot of it isn’t about Pokemon?
That sounds dumb but like
Even outside of the games you had so much cool stuff
There are radio shows
Like, the Pokémon mini
People call you to talk about their day
Same
A lot of anime specials
My favorite little thing was the gen 4 villa
I can say it's probably the most influential game in the series
renren at level 6
Like Gen 5 to me has some issues where like
It’s deep but also a lot of it is kinda memey?
Gen 2 legendary lore was mostly heard from npcs
Like do you remember the roadblock in that game
It was cool
Dancing for no reason
Yeah
Maybe we'll leave for no reason
Yea
Yep!
You get the sense that something is always happening when you’re not around ig?
Not in the Gen 8 way of “it happened off camera”
Mom using your money so that you could decorate your room was cute
More like it just exists
It's one thing I appreciate on them still keeping the spirit of, in Heartgold/Soulsilver
You even had instances in which you saw a lot of important characters, like Gym Leaders out and about too
Shoutouts to having to ruin misty's date
lmaoyeah
Falkner and Janie having the "My dad can beat up your dad" argument or something
I could beat up Falkner’s dad, he’s dead
Lt. Surge just being a real big fan of Pikachu, in spite of what the anime version of him would have you believe
gotta train choccy lol
Except in GSC
haha, geddit, ice types
Pryce’s GSC sprite lowkey ugly
Pryce in HGSS is very well-dressed
You dont like prison cellmate?
GSC Pryce just looks like that guy that shouts at kids for getting on his lawn
Seriously, runs an ice-type gym and wears a short sleeve shirt and shorts
man leech life is such a shit move in gsc
He's just like me frfr
By the way
This was before Wulfric, where you had not even wear his coat properly
I have some GSC gym leader trivia
hooooly shit Choccy is learning Stone Edge
What Gym Leader trains by meditating under a waterfall?
Chuck
Fuck
Was the gym waterfall hgss only?
Really? Huh.
pryce was crazy in the manga
