Ampharos Solo - Pokemon Crystal
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- Playthrough Rules:
1. Only my starter in battle
2. No items in battle (except held items)*
3. No glitches or exploits
4. No Double-Team TM before level 100
Other rules:
-- *Pokeballs are allowed in battle
-- I play the game at 4x game speed (238 frames per second)
-- My Pokemon has near perfect DVs
-- I manipulate my Pokemon's DVs to choose the typing of Hiddenpower
-- The bike is allowed
-- Saving between league members is allowed
-- If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter
*Double-Team:
-- Almost every Pokemon can learn Double-Team through TM
-- The TM can be purchased in Celadon
-- Using it would centralize the meta
-- Every Pokemon would use it to overcome tough battles at lower levels
-- It raises evasion
-- Banning the TM allows Pokemon who learn it through level up to use it
-- I believe evasion is part of Pokemon and shouldn't be banned entirely
-- I don't want the videos to all be double-team spam though, that's not fun or entertaining
Crystal Version changes from Gold/Silver:

This one might be neat: Pikachu with light ball vs Raichu.
Cool as it sounds,
Theres no point in doing that
We all know Raichus better than pikachu
Why not Fire Punch against Piloswine? Because I forget that ground doesn't resist fire. Rock/Ground being combine together in generation 1 really sticks in my mind. Thanks ADHD for making the type chart impossible to memorize but giving me the ability to recall every gym leader's ace Pokemon's speed stat in Pokemon Yellow...
Dude just play a lot of Pokémon and it’s not memory based. I’m pretty much ret4rded and I know it from just playing the games. You should play some nuzlockes eventually. You’re actually smart unlike me.
I remember thinking Rock was immune to Electric because of this until I got a Sudowoodo zapped and oneshot in a Crystal playthrough. That image still sticks with me today because it was so unexpected and that was decades ago. Helped me remember until I eventually internalized it.
I love how you hovered the selection on fire punch but then went headbutt and it mindFd me
@@justsomejojo
I have made the same experiences.
In gen1, you just have to fight onix and the geodude and rhyhorn lines. Not a Single one of the fossils besides aerodactyl, and that‘s so lategame that you‘d never consider using an electric move here because you think it‘s immune to it. So 11 year old me thinks rock is immune to electric
Blew my mind when I learned that Rock doesn't actually resist itself. Rock/Ground types resist Rock because of the Ground
Pichu also turns an already-introduced Pokemon into a three-stage electric type.
In the same generation as ampharos too
Pichu is cute but I still wish we’d gotten Gorochu instead :(
*fix the position of my glasses
I'm surprised Scott overlooked that.
I always thought pichu was really dumb, though. They should have appeared sooner if they were actually a thing.
Similar with the other baby Pokemon. Also, you can catch all of their evolutions before level 30 in the wild while most of them require level 30 to evolve. This seemed like a huge facepalm decision to me. :l
Don't forget Electivire does too
Probably not alone here, but Mareep was almost always on my team when I played G/S as a kid. Absolutely adorable design, electric typing made available so early in the game, and the end result was a beast admittedly lacking in speed but making up for it in firepower. Watching this video really takes me back
no she wasnt. u just wanna feel quirky and get internet likes
@@user-pl7lr5dn8q why are you so salty? its a video about pokemon
idc that doesnt mean u gotta go making up memories just to feel special lol
@@user-pl7lr5dn8q who hurt you little man
ur sick dad hurt me when i was a boy in school
Ampharos heavy carried my team in crystal kaizo until I got raikou. There were many fights that weren’t possible with other electric types because they lacked the bulk to tank hits like Ampharos did. Ampharos you a real G!
Regarding Lance's Dragonites:
Pokémon have always been able to evolve at lower than the "proper" levels. Evolution levels are an abstraction of a natural process that is simplified for the player. You could find Level 3 Kakuna/Metapod as early as gen 1, and can force Pokémon to evolve under level in Pokémon Go (which is canonical, since you can transfer them into the main series)
Also like the lvl 9 pidgeotto and the lvl 3 electrode (trade a raichu)
I've done this in gen 1 where I evolve Charmander at level 9 after beating Brock
@@H410M45T3R Nuh uh, his uncle works for Nintendo.
If you're interested in getting rid of spinners, the crystal speedchoice rom has an option that just makes them rotate in a set pattern. Getting unlucky with spinners could make the difference in a close race! Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to turn off the fast text though, so it would make your last few runs a bit different taking that into account.
Currently watching this at 3am on my night shift at the hospital. Thank you for helping me get through this shift. I absolutely love the Mareep line.
You’re welcome! Hopefully the shift goes well and you get some rest after.
GSC was the best time and place for Ampharos to debut. Its low speed doesn’t affect crit rates this gen (and is redundant when using Curse), you have early access to Thunder Punch and Fire Punch, and those moves are still Special instead of Physical. It’s even decent in competitive play, despite the Electric legendaries making other Electric types look dull in comparison.
It’s a bit of a pity Ampharos has fallen behind in recent years, but in its home gen, it’s a very respectable mon.
Something I've recommended to others, but no one has talks about. There is a mechanic in every single Pokemon game to date (you can look this up). It's called damage rounding, how it works. At levels ending with 0, 3, 5, and 8 you deal more damage. Within the formula it takes your level multiplies it by 2, then divides by 5. And it takes that as the first number in the equation. With all rounding in Pokemon everything is rounded down. As an example, I'm using the numbers 22, 23, and 24. It outputs the numbers 8.8, 9.2, and 9.6. Rounding down that gives you 8, 9, and 9. This leads to scenarios where; your level ending in 3 will always deal more damage than the previous level. But can deal the same damage as being 1 level higher. And this is true for all levels ending in 0, 3, 5, and 8. I always figured that this is some good knowledge to know when routing your levels for fights.
You’re the second person to comment about this today!
These rounding down effects also effect stats and I do consider that when routing. For instance you can gain assymetrical amounts of stats when you level up because it was previously rounded down.
Wow, brilliant!
I think I remember Werster giving out this same bit of knowledge while he was routing pokemon emerald or maybe even frlg years ago lol
Werster is definitely someone who works around damage rounding. I learned it from watching Shenanagans
Yo what? I didn't know this, that's cool!
This won't be too difficult lol. As a child, after I caught a Mareep near Violet City in pokemon heartgold I proceded to use this pokemon for the rest of the game since it literally couldn't lose
Aaaahhhh "as a child" and "hgss" being in the same sentence makes me feel extra old today.
@@mikebell9759 Me too buddy 😂😂😂 I had the same experience but with the original Gold.
Hearing "as a child" and "heartgold" in one sentence either means that i am fucking old or you are 8.
My older sister got Red version and convinced our mom to get me the Blue version because I kept playing Red. It was my Gameboy and the only one in the house. Since then, it’s been ongoing to this day. I was in high school when Ruby and Sapphire came out, my friend convinced me to get it but i couldn’t figure out which one so I went around asking random students and faculty as part of a “project for class” which is more preferred Ruby or Sapphires. I ended up grabbing Ruby and got the new GBASP to enjoy it on
@@slowdown8at606 mid-2000s release date.
Man, ampharos as well has a special place in my heart. It was the MVP of my pokemon in SoulSilver. Nice video as usual
It's so refreshing to see gen 2 again after so much gen 1, gen 2 playthroughs are way nicer to watch in my biased opinion.
I love that the first run is like a rough draft and the second playthrough is becoming more of a projected best route
Yay! Excited to see how this goes. Ampharos is one of my favorites and it has an amazing movepool. Just remember to pickup TM48 in Goldenrod and the "hardest" gym leader should be a breeze. Either Ampharos or Lanturn were always on my team sometimes both.
why did you type your name
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
“We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
2:27 Thanks to a technicality, The Pichu line was the first Gen 2 three-stage electric type evolution line. (Pichu is Pokedex number 192, while Mareep is #197)
I actually just made a randomizer for SoulSilver and Mareep was one of my starter choices. Not only is it one of my favs but one I'd always said as a kid I'd enjoy starting with. Glad to see this video out at around the same time I started my randomizer playthrough. Great story at the beginning with your fiance, she's got great taste in her Mons!
Love this. Ampharos is definitely one of the most iconic gen 2 Pokémon, maybe even more than the starters. It was ALWAYS on my team during my youth.
I only recently discovered your videos but I am really enjoying them. Your overlay is really great and adds so much to the viewing experience.
Hey Alex, glad the overlay is adding a lot! I’m constantly trying to make it better
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon if memory serves me correct, reds pikachu has 163 speed it's really fast
Ampharos is my favorite pokemon and my first lvl 100. Was a pleasure to see! Hail Victory.
I've only recently discovered your channel. But after binge watching a lot of your videos... dude, you bring something to this that's all your own. You're like 1/3 pedant, 1/3 obsessive, and 1/3 extremely funny. Which is honestly a winning combination. Keep doing what you do, okay? It sets you apart from everyone else and is extremely enjoyable to watch.
That seems like a really good way to describe me. I'm glad you enjoy my humor! I'm not always sure it lands, but I find it funny! (I'll keep it up don't worry!)
The couples challenge is so sweet! I'm definitely going to give that a try with my boyfriend; he is so competitive but I am the one with all the modern Pokemon knowledge since he hasn't played since R/S/E. I might be able to get a free steak dinner out of it. Look at Scott's Thoughts keeping me fed!
Also, I think the sprites in gen 2 are some of the best. Obviously as time went on sprites became more detailed and precise but the improvement is such a huge leap compared to gen 1.
I love the backstory to this challenge. That makes it alot more fun.
I’m in love with the story of the Mareep custody battle, that’s adorable
Congrats on 40k, Scotty! So good to see you do so well. Looking forward to 50k. Btw, Fire Punch was the better move choice against Piloswine :3
Also, your Gen 2 solo runs are your best videos imo.
Ampharos is a gen 2 mainstay on my team, looking forward to this👀
Looking forward to this run! Always used Ampharos in my playthroughs! Love your vids man keep up the awesome work! :)
Ampharos one of my favourite Pokémon in Gen 2 really looking forward to this playthrough
Ampharos was on all of my g/s teams back in the day. You are awesome
So i actually have a bit of an attachment to Ampharos as well. When my friends and i got back into playing pokemon cards our senior year in highschool (09). Ampharos was my ace that i acquired from a lot of cards from ebay. It was so good we had to nerf it lol. We were playing mostly gen 1 cards so it quickly became my favorite card 😁
G/s is gen 2 nerd
@@GleppaPigg only in the Americas and The Greater Southern Northside of the Nabiscoe Pennsylvania of broken dreams . Depending on what time zone you're in, and the average room temperature. You also have to account for wind speed as well as rate of travel, but im not one to get that technical; At least not at this juncture in the aforementioned dialogue. As Joan of Arc once said, "Eye before E except after C, but Im too drunk to taste this chicken"
The video is great and all, as always, but immediately upvoted for that adorable story about you and your partner!
Awww thanks :)
I swear, snorlax has a higher than average critical hit rate with body slam.
I also love your stories talking about your relationship with Pokémon
When talking about 3 stage electric types, you forgot to mention pichu, pikachu and raichu.
another case of retroactively becoming a three stage electric line like electivire.
Ampharos was my FAVORITE Gen 2!!! Carried me through elite 4 back in the day. Still one of my favorite Pokémon!
Gen 2 is my absolute favorite gen. (Unpopular opinion) Great video, keep up the great work!
Oh my, the farmyard showdown totally takes things to a new level given the already consistently amazing content of this channel!
That’s my favourite spot in this video
Pretty nice run, Scotty! All I could think of when I saw the starred Pokémon of the vídeo was: “Amphy”! “Amphy”! “Amphy”!
woudnt be a scott video without "GUYS I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, DID I MENTION MY GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE SHES NOW MY FIANCEE" never change
One of my favorite pokemon, looking forward to this one!
I love your series and dedication to the quality of them. Just wanted to give you a quick shout out!
Anyway, I wanted to discuss one of my favorite Crystal memories I had in relation to what you talked about in this video at the beginning when you mentioned all the cool new pokemon you can't get until you get to the near end of the game.
In Crystal, in the morning on route 46 at the very start of the game you can catch Phanpy. It has only a 5% encounter rate and it's only in the morning in-game. Before in Silver, you had to wait until you got to the 8th gym leader town and look for one in route 45.
Getting a pure ground type that early in the game is just awesome. Especially when it evolves into Donphan at level 25 . Speaking of which, that is another pokemon I'd love to see you do a video on!
Keep up the great content and thank you again for helping brighten our days with your humor and love of Pokemon!
Yeah! Phanpy is a Pokémon I’m excited to use!
I love how thorough you are with these runs, Scott. Good work!
Three videos in a week? I'm gonna faint from excitement! Bring me a Max Revive, boys
Growing up I didn't get to use Mareep too much since I played Crystal, Fire Red, Emerald and the Gen 4 games are the ones I replayed the least. But once I started playing rom hacks I got to know how much of a beast Ampharos is, which has made me consider it as one of my favorite electric type Pokemon.
Also, poor Bruno, even when he gets to catch you off-guard you quickly adjust and leave him in the dust where he belongs XP
That story with your fiance is so cute! Maybe I'll try it with my bf sometime. I'm not surprised Ampharos kicked ass here, there's no strong ground types and it gets good coverage. Good job Fleecy!
I’ve always really liked Flaafy specifically for some reason. I hope someday you do a Crystal run with Grimer; I love him, and his sprite just shows that he wants to be hugged/picked up! What a sweet little sludgy baby
I was dreaming of electric sheep. Thanks for bringing the play through into my waking life!
Great point.
Swinubs dex entry is about them smelling and digging up truffles underground.
Yet it can't learn dig.
So happy to see gen 2 returning to the channel Scott!
Me too. Software cursed me so the return was delayed. But now Johto won’t rest ;)
I almost always had a Ampharos on my team when I used to play Gen 2 as a kid.
I really like it !
I actually got to see this one live (sort of) I did not realize Ampherous was so good! I am glad that Denis got some recognition too! It’s been a while since we visited the lighthouse
One of my favorite lines! Mareep is so adorbs, and I used one whenever I played Gold and Silver.
As a kid, from watching my brother pseudo-solo Silver with a Mareep, I was taught the value of coverage moves.
In HG / SS I gladly used Ampharos. Has alot of diverse special attack moves.
At 31:17 you can see Ampharos smiling on the left after beating the run. Nice detail
I've always like Ampharos, it was nice to see it stomp in this video.
Ampharos is one of my favourite Pokemon. I loved the added Dragon Typing with his Mega Evolution
Funnily enough, I'm playing through Heart Gold right now, so seeing another Gen 2 run is a helluva coincidence. XD
Fleecy is a name I don't come across too terribly often, but that may be because I don't read/consume too much media involving sheep. In fact, I first heard the name as a kid watching Laurel and Hardy's version of March of the Wooden Soldiers when Bo Peep was looking for her sheep (Don't cry, No Peep! Don't Cry! We'll find your sheep; we'll try!)
I'm not sure what it is, but the Gen 2 remix of the Gen 1 Gym Leader theme sounds much better to me than the actual Gen 1 Gym Leader theme...and even it's remix in Gen 4.
Anyways, great job as always! There's just something magical about the Mareep line that usually has me using it early game. That being said, in recent years if I'm playing a Pokémon game that isn't Yellow and need an electric type on my team, 9 times our of 10, that Pokémon is Jolteon. I'm actually being really greedy in my most recent Heart Gold run seeing as I'm running this Jolteon flush with Glaceon, Starmie and Dratini all of which know Ice Beam. And that's not even bringing up the Larvitar with Earthquake.
...yeah, I, uh, may have used the Pal Park to get some Pokémon from my more recent Emerald and Fire Red playthroughs. Well, aside from the Dratini. THAT one I got through Voltorb Flip.
Great video as always Scott! I was surprised to see how easily Fleecy was able to do this challenge!
Amphros line is one of my favorite pokemon lines! Is cool to see it solo johto
Hey Scott, hope all is well!! I was stoked to see Wobbuffet with my name under it for the first time. Thanks for making such great content, it's why I joined up to support you, keep it up!!!
Ampharos is a champ! Always use him in my favorite play throughs
Thanks to you I chose to do a Cyndaquil run, but as I couldn't set the IV at the time, I ended up with Ground Hidden Power. It tok me so long to beat the 8th gym and Lance. I started Lance at 72, and had to go all the way to 90 to beat him properly.
Red was also a headache.
I had to go all the way to 100 and add Double Team to stand a chance.
The Mareep line was the first three-Pokemon electric type line introduced to the Pokemon franchise. This is only interesting because if you ask fans this question they will almost always say Pikachu, which is incorrect because Pichu makes it retroactively a three-Pokemon line, but Mareep was designed as one from the start.
EDIT: Hah, you knew that too!
I love how you go into the Venomoth meme.
Tip my hat to you.
"Scott, give me the Mareep"
A challenge between gen 1 and 2 starters (even in different videos) is needed to determine which is better.
About Ampharos, I think that he is comparable (if not better) to the three starters. I think that in Gold & Silver was put early in-game to have an easy mode. In HG/SS you can even catch it to defeat easily the first gym.
Great run! Didn't realise there were so few three stage electric Pokemon
Absolutely love mareep always the first pokemon I catch in johto, so happy to see a vid on this beast
I love Mareep! :D I was hyped to see you using it and its line! The original(and best!) Wooloo! I hope this fleecy, wooly buddy does awesome!
Just got settled in to watch this one. I love gen 2, and I love Ampharos
"Decided to fire punch Machamp in case it burns" - *brain panics*
I never knew what STAB meant until this video. I love electric types so this is awesome!
I love the memes during the Whitney fight
My editor Shawn is responsible! I also love them :)
This playthrough was fun to watch Ampharos was one of my favorite gen 2 pokemon as a kid, I had the worse move set with dynamic punch, zap cannon, thunder and thunderpunch but hey 10 year old me thought it was cool.
I enjoy how you use the more complicated 3rd games from each generation for the playthroughs
The Thunder bunch blooper now has me saying "Thunder bunches of oats" in my head on repeat and I'm kinda mad about it.
"Will is a bad substitute for Lorelei."
Me, who never thought Lorelei was a good E4 member:
I absolutely love ampharos. Every single play through I’ve ever played in johto I always grabbed mareep. I recall one time I grabbed Chikorita and I really didn’t like it so I put it in my box at about level 10 and played the entire rest of the game with nothing but mareep/flaffy/ ampharos. And of course eventually I picked up lugia and suicune but I always loved this little electric sheep. It’s won a few solos for me when I was disappointed in my party/ training decisions. This Mon was so clutch for me. In order to make up for some of the speed stat I went ahead and gave it a quick claw and focused it’s effort values into special and speed and boy oh boy did it save me a few times. I distinctly remember having a level 32 ampharos and a level 50+ typhosion and ampharos was the one to take out Clair’s kingdra and I was so excited about it because it was so under leveled to that point in the game. I have many stories with this guy this makes me happy you did this run!
No joke, I came to the exact same conclusion about Lance's dragonites. There was an episode in the anime that went into greater detail about the forced evolution and after i saw that it was my headcanon that the lake of rage made his dragonites evolve early. Glad I wasn't the only one
that story about the mareep custody stuff is honestly adorable, i might have to try to do something like that with my wife sometime.
Ampharos is my #1 choice of all pokemon. I loved it when i played crystal.
I'm kinda surprised you didn't just fire punch the Piloswine in Pryce's gym on the first playthrough.
Edit: Also, I literally choked and coughed seeing how little damage dig did at 20:16
Yeah, it's also an ice type right? Unless we're wrong and it's like Slowpoke and Golduck where we spent years thinking it had a secondary type, but it actually just has some cool attacks of that type.
Pretty sure it's an ice type tho.
@@TrueNomadSkies Yeah it's an Ice Ground. But ground doesn't resist fire, as demonstrated by Steelix taking super effective damage later in the run.
Thank you for the videos. I think I watched already 70% of your videos over the last two or three weeks (when I discovered your channel)! Can you please tell me which emulator you use? I remember you saying something about changing it to solve some issues in one of your videos, but I forgot which. Normally I would try to find it myself but since you love comments so much... :D
I use Retroarch. With the mgba core
I like Flaaffy’s appearance the most out of this line
I love Mareep, and it’s a fun evolution line
Going from sheep, to poodle, and finally to kangaroo
One thing that could have maybe worked was to use Rain Dance Thunder with Magnet against Karen. That way the accuracy drop from Sand Attack Umbreon doesn't matter and Gengar and Houndoom would have been one hits.
That’s a good solution. Love it!
hopefully i'm not the only one that noticed Ampharos smiled after beating red. i was wondering if that was ever gonna happen. good on ya Scott!
love the scientific method to your playthroughs!
Okay you had me at mareep because it’s a beast, but that intro story slew me.
Thunder was always interesting to me. It felt so strong and I loved the animation. For some reason, I always had godly good luck accuracy wise with Jolteon where I could always hit with it, but felt like I would miss nearly every time using the move with any other Pokemon. Seemed like a fair compromise.
Gen 2 thunder animation is awesome...super luck based but I feel u one the God accuracy I had a lanturn that seemingly couldn't miss...love gen 2...I still remember opening my silver version with that teal gameboy color on christmas...Good times
@@joemclenigan6026 thinking about the colours alone has a good amount of nostalgia with it.
Love the Mareep line, however Mareep was introduced in the same gen as Pichu making Pikachu a three evolution line electric type.
Am I the only ne enjoying Scott's strange, tsundere relationship with Fire Punch?
When you were talking about the Elemental Punchs that Ampharos & Flaffy got.. it made me start thinking.. why isnt there Elemental Kicks?.. i mean yes technically there is Blaze & Trop Kick... but what about Ice & Electric?.. weird they don't have them considering it would make sense to me being as if there are "elemental" punch there should be kick counter parts especially since there are already Elemental Fang/Bite moves
Yeah, good point.
I always hated Crystal didn't get this line. Loved seeing this run!
Good work on the video man. Always appreciate your insight on these games.
Ampharos is a monster in gen 2. I loved having one every one on my team every time I play Gen 2
Haha I remember running into that little sheep while playing the ROM right after it was released (as in, in japanese because there wasn't an english rom yet). The moment I saw Mareep I instantly knew it would be an amazing evolutionary line. I was not disappointed lol
Edit: _"where's the next challenge gonna be?"_ oh boy, Jasmine should be a fun time 🤣
Epic performance from the Mareep line. When you get the remaining patrons for the Johto region maybe you can celebrate with another Nuzlocke or perhaps your first gen 4 run.
Good ideas!!
Ampharos is lowkey one of my favorites from Gen 2! It’s cute, powerful and it’s super cool with its Mega form! Hair game for days!
25:25 The moment when Surge affirms that he is, in fact, a Lieutenant.
Jrose will send him back to the gift shop soon enough! Don’t worry!
