Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! There’s a game called Pokémon legends it’s an mmo. I would recommend playing it. It has some issues like if ur Pokémon faints. It’s a small issue u will see what I’m talking about. Pokemonlegends.com
It's just that ash is actually a god he can't hit puberty which means he can't woohoo but he's supposed to be an old man I think having infinite age and being a virgin means he's a god
Spoilers for the new series below. | | Fun fact: in the Japanese version of the latest series "Pokémon (2020)" (I cannot vouch for the dubs, as I do not watch them), Satoshi (Ash) does seem to know his type match-ups now, as when his Riolu tries to hit a Gengar which Satoshi happens to catch, it tries to hit the Gengar with Vacuum Wave, but Satoshi tells Riolu that Fighting-Type moves won't work on Ghost-Types.
I just want an episode with "Can I Beat Pokemon without Using ANY Pokemon?" episode where you say: "I cannot" and follow it with 10 minutes of pokemon main menu screen.
Actually it is possible to beat pokemon without using any pokemon. There is a glitch in gen 1 that allows you to do that. He should do it for april fools.
I'd be interested to see you to a Single-Stage Pokemon run at some point. This would mean you can only use Pokemon who can't evolve and who aren't Legendaries. As an additional rule, you can't catch anything which will gain an evolution in an older generation. I was trying this for Crystal and the only one before Fawkner is Dunsparce, which turned out to be stronger than I expected. I didn't count mega-evolutions as they aren't a permanent evolution, so that meant Heracross and Pinsir were still viable.
I wanted to beat Platinum with Platinum's Pokémon from the manga since they have a gender, a few attacks, natures and levels listed but she has a freaking female Cherrium lvl 49 docile nature with Flower gift ability in a Great Ball... I just don't have the patience to do that
Here's a challenge suggestion: Can you beat B2/W2 with only an “Assisted” Purrloin/Liepard? Rules: 1) Play on Black 2 or White 2. The challenge is considered completed after defeating the first round of Elite Four & Champion battles. Bonus points if you can win some of the post-game important trainer battles (example: Alder, Cynthia, Hugh, Benga, Cilan/Chili/Cress, Colress, N, Game Freak's Nishino/Morimoto) 2) You may only use a Purrloin for every battle in the game. Replace one of the starter choice with a Purrloin. (Alternatively, for this challenge, you may evolve this Purrloin into Liepard, so that you don't have to excessively grind for levels during late game.) You are free to bring any number and any variety of Pokemon in your party, but only the Purrloin/Liepard may fight for you in battles. 3) No item usage during battle (only held items are allowed). 4) Once Purrloin learns Assist on level 6 and you have access to catching wild Pokemon, you may only use Assist as your source of damaging move against the opponent. Your Purrloin/Liepard may use any other status moves it learns from level up or TMs, but none of them may be a directly damaging move*. *) Preferably, no spamming toxic/protect/double team, as this is a rather uninteresting strategy to overcome battles, and doesn't encourage team-moveset building for Assist usage. Addendum/Tips: - The movesets of the Pokemon in your party will be the key factor in overcoming battles (accompanied with a bit of luck), due to how Assist works. The Move Deleter may prove valuable in reducing randomness when using Assist. - To make this less frustrating, you may choose to give yourself a PP Max in the beginning (e.g. as the held item for the starter Purrloin, if possible) to max out the Assist PP. - This can be considered as a "semi-Metronome" challenge, but with much less randomness (and dependence on luck) and a lot more room for strategy.
Actually it would make more sense for him to invest evs in defensive stats. His base speed is already high enough to outspeed most Pokemon in the game, his defenses are rather bad though
Imperator Timme to tip the scales Not too sure about that. He ended up with like 50 defense at the end. If he did post game it would have made more sense to have speed because the defense wouldn’t matter
Imperator Timme to tip the scales Yeah I tend to forget that when watching his playthroughs. I’m surprised sucker punch didn’t screw him over when I think about it. I guess more speed would have made the gyro ball fights harder too. I’d imagine the recurring endgame issues in these runs will always come down to priority attacks and bulky mons
I love these challenges. They remind me of the time I played a soulsilver nuzlocke. I got really unlucky during the johto elite four and my entire team went down except for a dunsparce, who I had kept on my team out of sheer stubbornness when I was lucky enough to find one. I ended up defeating the elite four with just one dunsparce. It was incredibly satisfying.
Early Game: Brutal. Especially against 1st Gym Leader, who is 4x good against you. Late Game: Good luck against Flint, Cynthia and Volkner. TMs and Choice Specs are important. Move Tutors as well.
Shoutout to MDB for 1) always doing his best, and 2) always repping his friends and himself in his videos. Love you and your challenges, MDB. You find new and creative ways to make Pokémon campaigns more fun for adults. Thank ya, bud!

Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! Oh how sweet and considerate you are! I love these challenges and have been binging them as I do stuff. Glad to know that you’re a good person on top of excellent videos!
Awesome video once again my man, the real MVP of the pokemon challenge community, I actually was inspired by your in game trades videos, and made "gift pokemon only" challenges, and they've actually done really well, so thank you for inspiring me to do that :)
After years of Pokemon, hearing IV and EV since Ruby/Sapphire when I was in middle/high school, hearing you say Effort Value makes me FINALLY understand what the hell EV and IV actually are and how they work. I'm freaking stupid man
This challenge always makes my wish the stadium animations were in the mainline games. Chill Abra just floating up with uncontrolled jiggling to cast all it's moves is so great. I picture some sort of flailing headbutt for return.
Ok here’s an idea for a bit of an interesting but possibly very easy challenge: Any Pokemon game with only one move except hidden power and no copies of Pokemon. Basically you can have any Pokemon you want and have a full team of six but you can only use one move throughout the entire run, it can be tackle, flamethrower or even struggle it’s your choice, and you cannot have 2 of the same Pokemon on your team. Again could be easy but I think it could be interesting to do.
I just had an idea. How about, instead of choosing 1 Pokémon and trying to beat the game by leveling it to an absurd degree, you make a full team of 6 Pokémon, whatever Pokémon you want, but you can only level them up to level 30 or some absurdly low level. This way it's all about strategy and you could possibly make completely new teams for every roadblock you face. I'm sure you could make something interesting around that.
You were the first pokemon challenge I watched awhile back and I've decided to do a bug team challenge in pokemon Y with your same rules for fun, thanks for helping me pass the time during the grind
Abra is my favorite pokemon ever, I even tried to breed a perfect one in Platinum once. Too bad he is so fragile and hard to level, but he's still awesome! Thanks for the video!

SeraphOfChaos1 I don’t see how I’m wrong I was just explaining how you don’t ‘take’ or ‘choose’ your fossil in platinum like you do in other main series games like red or blue
I tuned out for a bit because you had a few too many call to actions but by shifting it to the end with just a couple of pop ups in the middle I can concentrate on the video. Really great change!
Thanks for doing these challenges. You're my six year old sons favourite TH-camr and thanks to your videos he wanted to do his own challenge on let's go Pikachu. Bug type only. Thanks again.
"... and make a fossil joke while you're at it, because I'm unoriginal and tell the same joke in almost every episode." I mean, the joke is still funny. I enjoy it every time. :)
Here's one I thought of for you: Pokemon Crystal with only "fairy" Pokemon, or Pokemonn who will become fairy type. So you're down to: Clefa, Clefairy, Clefable, Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Mr. Mime, Togepi, Togetic, Marill, Azumarill, Snubbull, & Granbull
My original thought was Gen 1 with only “fairies”, might be better? And maybe a ‘no TM’ stipulation? Otherwise it might just be more fun than challenging
Actually I thought about it: He’ll have to do the first two gyms with only Jiggly and Togepi, can catch Marill and Snubull before Whitney, and hope the random egg is a Cleffa. Otherwise Clefairy and Mr. Mime are only available in Kanto
I’m assuming here MDB will start with Jiggly since you can catch one early anyway. Gotta do Falkner with just that since you get the egg after. Got to fight Bugsy and rival with just those two (Gastly will suck). Should catch Marill ASAP since both Morty and Chuck will be brutal with just normal types! Out of six available Pokemon lines, only four (with a chance of a fifth) are available before Kanto.
As A BRAzilian, I can confirm that it is a comedy gold. After all, in portuguese, "Abra" is the imperative form of the verb "Abrir", which means "To Open", so there are jokes with it using the antonym of "Abrir", and that is "Fechar", or in the imperative form, "Feche", meanwhile, its name is way too next to "Abril", the name of the forth month that we are into, so you can call him as ANY other month in portuguese
A Pokémon loses friendship values everytime it faints. So unless you did any soft-reset, it's not really a surprise that level-grinding didn't increase your damage from return ... Very nice challenge though, your videos are always the highlight of the week!
He's planning so far ahead with EVs now. I'm so proud. EDIT: I think Shadow Ball would've helped with the Double Battle at Mt. Coronet. But I don't know how useful it would be after that. Mighta helped then and there, though.
I’ve always wanted to try an all-in-game trade play through of DP/platinum. So it’ll surely be a great video to watch ! Looking forward to it my-dry-bread 😂😂
Love the shoutout to Mansoor in the text at the beginning lol He and Cesaro had a pretty awesome match, despite the result being so obvious lol Love your videos, btw! Always love watching your Pokemon challenge videos on the weekends!
I'll try one more time to suggest my challenge idea. Hopefully it would allow a bit more strategy, as you'd need to think your way around the randomness. I'm calling it poke-roulette, but the name is open for revisions. Basically, you must always throw at least 1 pokeball at every wild pokemon you encounter, and you can only use the 6 most recent pokemon you've caught in battle. So once you catch your 7th pokemon, you have to dump your starter for it! Also, you always have to buy the most powerful pokeball (poke/great/ultra) available. And no buying Repels; only the ones you find on the ground can be used! Standard no items in battle stuff (except the pokeball pocket, of course!). Since you need a game... I'd say HeartGold, as it's my favourite? Also, for all your runs you should start using Battle Mode: Set, like you have your standard No Items rule. In single pokemon runs it'll make things faster due to fewer text boxes, and in multi- pokemon runs you can't switch for free after every knockout. Cheers! I'm enjoying the series, obviously :) .
Needing to grind 10,000 coins is giving me traumatic flashbacks to trying to get the Explosion tm in gen 4. Those Clefairy always left after 9 bonus rounds.
Uhhhh.... If you use Amulet Coin + Vs Seeker and fight the old lady and old man outside tha mansion you can grind money VERY quickly. I do this all the time :')
White with only one type for an entire team Here are the options of moves that anyone can reply for In comments Ice Bug Rock Normal Reply to which you want Rules: no items Up to 6 pokemon only and no switching Pokémon around No legends or mythical s No dual types only pure types
Challenge Idea:The Dreadnought Challenge 1) Any pokemon game aside from Gen 1 is fine (leaving out gen 1 due to the bugs and AI) 2) You are allowed any pokemon of your choice aside from legendry or pseudo-legendary. 3) You can only use 1 pokemon in battle. 4) If your pokemon can evolve, it must start at its weakest form, however, you are allowed to evolve your pokemon. 5) Only held items in combat 6) Your only allowed damaging moves require you to charge for one round before firing or moves that require you to recharge next turn. Example: solarbeam and hyperbeam 7) Your moves cannot make you invulnerable to most attacks before attacking. Example Dig and Fly 8) You're not allowed to have a weather move to make charged attacks fire instantly, such as sunny day and solar beam. The idea of this challenge is exactly as the name suggests, you fire one large damaging move, but you're unable to act for one turn, effectively making you a large dreadnought powering up its massive weapons, or having to cool back down before firing them again. There are quite a few moves of various types that fit into this category so type coverage shouldn't be an issue.
11:14 this is YOUR footage? Cuz if so, you just got a shiny Clefairy in the mini game, that's rare, i think... Edit: It might be rare but it's unobtainable shiny sooo (Also sorry for my english, i'm trying :( i swear )
The Shiny Clefairy thing is a gimmick unique to the Gen 4 Game Corner. Notice that it's on the bottom screen. While the bottom screen has a Clefairy at the slots, you're in a bonus round. If it turns shiny, the bonus is increased.

^This. Would love to see even if it's just a rough guess, to get an idea of time.
Yes
Like JRose?
I'd be interested to see you to a Single-Stage Pokemon run at some point.
This would mean you can only use Pokemon who can't evolve and who aren't Legendaries.
As an additional rule, you can't catch anything which will gain an evolution in an older generation.
I was trying this for Crystal and the only one before Fawkner is Dunsparce, which turned out to be stronger than I expected. I didn't count mega-evolutions as they aren't a permanent evolution, so that meant Heracross and Pinsir were still viable.
Correction, its falkner.
Finally, Tropius run

Petition to beat platinum with only honey tree Pokémon

Also MDB: *picks the Pokemon with only one move by level up.*
TM moment
Here's a challenge suggestion:
Can you beat B2/W2 with only an “Assisted” Purrloin/Liepard?
Rules:
1) Play on Black 2 or White 2. The challenge is considered completed after defeating the first round of Elite Four & Champion battles. Bonus points if you can win some of the post-game important trainer battles (example: Alder, Cynthia, Hugh, Benga, Cilan/Chili/Cress, Colress, N, Game Freak's Nishino/Morimoto)
2) You may only use a Purrloin for every battle in the game. Replace one of the starter choice with a Purrloin. (Alternatively, for this challenge, you may evolve this Purrloin into Liepard, so that you don't have to excessively grind for levels during late game.) You are free to bring any number and any variety of Pokemon in your party, but only the Purrloin/Liepard may fight for you in battles.
3) No item usage during battle (only held items are allowed).
4) Once Purrloin learns Assist on level 6 and you have access to catching wild Pokemon, you may only use Assist as your source of damaging move against the opponent. Your Purrloin/Liepard may use any other status moves it learns from level up or TMs, but none of them may be a directly damaging move*.
*) Preferably, no spamming toxic/protect/double team, as this is a rather uninteresting strategy to overcome battles, and doesn't encourage team-moveset building for Assist usage.

I like it. MDB, do this one.
A surprisingly well thought-out and clever challenge. I like it!
oooh I like this, but I'd prefer if the challenge didn't end at the first elite 4, instead try the black tower/white forest
I would love to see that!
So, it's a purrloin/liepard with 20+ moves?
Than you for changing the text once in a while near the beginning. I always get a kick out of them even if times they are the same or not.
Grinds out sp attack evs with psyduck
Doesn’t grind out speed evs with zubat despite the convenience
zentazym1 right.. while the special was 88 the speed could have been 80 something
Actually it would make more sense for him to invest evs in defensive stats. His base speed is already high enough to outspeed most Pokemon in the game, his defenses are rather bad though
Imperator Timme to tip the scales Not too sure about that. He ended up with like 50 defense at the end. If he did post game it would have made more sense to have speed because the defense wouldn’t matter
True but the goal of these videos is to beat the champion of the Pokemon League
Imperator Timme to tip the scales Yeah I tend to forget that when watching his playthroughs. I’m surprised sucker punch didn’t screw him over when I think about it. I guess more speed would have made the gyro ball fights harder too. I’d imagine the recurring endgame issues in these runs will always come down to priority attacks and bulky mons
"So let's do one with much more move veriety" - *uses only Grass Knot and Shock Wave the entire game*
Compared to a Run with 6 Pokémon all using the one same move, this is variety~

Double team as well (which was very needed in some parts of the game).

I mean, the joke is still funny. I enjoy it every time. :)
Keep this series alive !
Here's one I thought of for you:
Pokemon Crystal with only "fairy" Pokemon, or Pokemonn who will become fairy type.
So you're down to:
Clefa, Clefairy, Clefable, Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Mr. Mime, Togepi, Togetic, Marill, Azumarill, Snubbull, & Granbull
Sounds a bit to easy
My original thought was Gen 1 with only “fairies”, might be better?
And maybe a ‘no TM’ stipulation?
Otherwise it might just be more fun than challenging
Actually I thought about it:
He’ll have to do the first two gyms with only Jiggly and Togepi, can catch Marill and Snubull before Whitney, and hope the random egg is a Cleffa.
Otherwise Clefairy and Mr. Mime are only available in Kanto
I’m assuming here MDB will start with Jiggly since you can catch one early anyway.
Gotta do Falkner with just that since you get the egg after.
Got to fight Bugsy and rival with just those two (Gastly will suck).
Should catch Marill ASAP since both Morty and Chuck will be brutal with just normal types!
Out of six available Pokemon lines, only four (with a chance of a fifth) are available before Kanto.
17:07 Omg I don't remember Raichu's sprite in Platinum being so cute~!!! That kitty mouth~
How dare you not name it "A Bra" that stuffs comedy gold
A Brah broski.
It’s perfect
It's perfect
But also predictable
As A BRAzilian, I can confirm that it is a comedy gold. After all, in portuguese, "Abra" is the imperative form of the verb "Abrir", which means "To Open", so there are jokes with it using the antonym of "Abrir", and that is "Fechar", or in the imperative form, "Feche", meanwhile, its name is way too next to "Abril", the name of the forth month that we are into, so you can call him as ANY other month in portuguese
A Pokémon loses friendship values everytime it faints. So unless you did any soft-reset, it's not really a surprise that level-grinding didn't increase your damage from return ...
Very nice challenge though, your videos are always the highlight of the week!
He's planning so far ahead with EVs now. I'm so proud.
EDIT: I think Shadow Ball would've helped with the Double Battle at Mt. Coronet. But I don't know how useful it would be after that. Mighta helped then and there, though.
I love the look of everything in the gen 4 games! also you have a lot of patience, props.
Wow the “TWITTER” poorly written on the poke watch every so often really got me
I’ve always wanted to try an all-in-game trade play through of DP/platinum. So it’ll surely be a great video to watch ! Looking forward to it my-dry-bread 😂😂
The inspiration for the name of Cranidos is "cranium" which refers to the skull. It is pronounced "cray-knee-dose"
Isn't cranium a latin word? And definitely not pronounced cray-knee-um
Dam Nation in english, the word cranium is pronounced that way, idk about other languages
@@bobbob-iv4we okay then. I think Cranidos is an american dub, so it kinda makes sense that it's based on the american version of the word
Yes Joel Vanderlaan because we just ignore and move on
I remember watching this when it first came out. 4 years MDB, 4 years. I'm proud of your perseverance.
I honestly didn't expect you to ever see this but thank you MDB! Also what fossil did you pick, comments are good for the TH-cam algorithm after all.
After every challenge you have done so far, im sure you can beat the game with Abra ;)
edit: You have the patience of a god!!
Getting Hidden Power at the Trainers School would have made this way easier at the beginning.
“and I think Ash knows a little more than we do” can we really say that about a person who doesn’t even know type advantages?
Aww I wanted to be your 300 thousandth subscriber... gratz though on your insane channel growth man.
"I think ash knows about pokemon more than we do"
You sure about that one, chief?
Ya true
Thank you for making these videos I work every other Saturday and when I work it’s a nice highlight of that day
I never liked the way Skuntank's battle sprite looked. It looks like it's about to pee on it's opponent.
Which is really fitting since... y'know it's a skunk
Love the shoutout to Mansoor in the text at the beginning lol He and Cesaro had a pretty awesome match, despite the result being so obvious lol Love your videos, btw! Always love watching your Pokemon challenge videos on the weekends!
hey you. yeah you right there behind the screen.
have a good day! now get out there and catch em all!
That was a great comment!
Slice of PIE thank you. I thought it was thematically appropriate to the video.
I'll try one more time to suggest my challenge idea. Hopefully it would allow a bit more strategy, as you'd need to think your way around the randomness.
I'm calling it poke-roulette, but the name is open for revisions. Basically, you must always throw at least 1 pokeball at every wild pokemon you encounter, and you can only use the 6 most recent pokemon you've caught in battle. So once you catch your 7th pokemon, you have to dump your starter for it! Also, you always have to buy the most powerful pokeball (poke/great/ultra) available. And no buying Repels; only the ones you find on the ground can be used!
Standard no items in battle stuff (except the pokeball pocket, of course!). Since you need a game... I'd say HeartGold, as it's my favourite?
Also, for all your runs you should start using Battle Mode: Set, like you have your standard No Items rule. In single pokemon runs it'll make things faster due to fewer text boxes, and in multi- pokemon runs you can't switch for free after every knockout.
Cheers! I'm enjoying the series, obviously :) .
Needing to grind 10,000 coins is giving me traumatic flashbacks to trying to get the Explosion tm in gen 4. Those Clefairy always left after 9 bonus rounds.
Uhhhh.... If you use Amulet Coin + Vs Seeker and fight the old lady and old man outside tha mansion you can grind money VERY quickly. I do this all the time :')
I love that no matter what music a TH-camr is using in a play through, they always cut it off for mommy, sorry. Mommy, sorry, Cynthia’s fight
White with only one type for an entire team
Here are the options of moves that anyone can reply for In comments
Ice
Bug
Rock
Normal
Reply to which you want
Rules: no items
Up to 6 pokemon only and no switching Pokémon around
No legends or mythical s
No dual types only pure types
Love that you did the shout out to Mansoor!!!!!
When you brought up Ash I was like, "What does he know? He's lost like every tournament he's entered." lmfao
He is the champion of Alola...
dose Aloa even count
@@eeveestars3668 yes
One out of at least nine is not good lmao
Oh. My. God. Psyduck is a 2% there, at least in Pearl (not sure abt Pt). You are incredibly dedicated. I'm so proud.
Challgeng suggestion:
beat pokemon black 2 with togepi and pichu
beat pokemon white 2 with cleffa and happiny
I love the Abra line. Thank you for the video.
Yeah, my favorite evolution line.
Do Pokémon emerald with only one wooper.
THX FOR ALMOST 200 likes
And name him whopper XD
THIS NEEDS TO BE A PINNED COMMENT
mudikp is a discount whooper and fight me if i'm wrong, hahah!
But is a funny one to read, but not so funny to do
wooper is actually mad good my guy
10/10 just enough wooper
Holy hell man this took mad patience. So much respect for what you do❤️
Challenge Idea:The Dreadnought Challenge
1) Any pokemon game aside from Gen 1 is fine (leaving out gen 1 due to the bugs and AI)
2) You are allowed any pokemon of your choice aside from legendry or pseudo-legendary.
3) You can only use 1 pokemon in battle.
4) If your pokemon can evolve, it must start at its weakest form, however, you are allowed to evolve your pokemon.
5) Only held items in combat
6) Your only allowed damaging moves require you to charge for one round before firing or moves that require you to recharge next turn. Example: solarbeam and hyperbeam
7) Your moves cannot make you invulnerable to most attacks before attacking. Example Dig and Fly
8) You're not allowed to have a weather move to make charged attacks fire instantly, such as sunny day and solar beam.
The idea of this challenge is exactly as the name suggests, you fire one large damaging move, but you're unable to act for one turn, effectively making you a large dreadnought powering up its massive weapons, or having to cool back down before firing them again. There are quite a few moves of various types that fit into this category so type coverage shouldn't be an issue.
Me: haha I love how MDB always plugs his Twitter into the bottom screen
MDB: *END THE PAIN*
*geNeric twwiter plug*
19:49 for anyone who inevitably says I spelled it wrong
The Las tof us is my favorite game ever. He seemed to be having a good time and I had a good time watching. Thank you.
11:14 this is YOUR footage? Cuz if so, you just got a shiny Clefairy in the mini game, that's rare, i think...
Edit: It might be rare but it's unobtainable shiny sooo
(Also sorry for my english, i'm trying :( i swear )
The Shiny Clefairy thing is a gimmick unique to the Gen 4 Game Corner. Notice that it's on the bottom screen. While the bottom screen has a Clefairy at the slots, you're in a bonus round. If it turns shiny, the bonus is increased.
If you don't soft reset, you end up getting the exp from pokemon you've beaten, eventually getting levels up if you keep losing.
I'm watching through your platinum run right now and i agree, it is hilarious and terrible and hilarious.
Also gen 6 with only first form ice types?
These videos are always entertaining, keep it up!
sneasel : i can one shot u
abra : *intense sweating*
sneasel: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Abra : rip my ears
Abra :* defeats sneasel*
Abra: OK
"in-game trades challenge for platinum"
Mindy: Oh, you're approaching me?
Wait isn't there a tm for hidden power in the jubilife school?
Edit: Nvm
Good choice using the game corner music during the intro. Hearing this theme could bring me to watch anything.
Beat gold/silver with a poliwag
This would be great. Keep hypnosis, learn blizzard, surf and headbutt/return/hidden power. Very doable since poliwag has decent speed.
Ridwan Thanks i just said that randomly
Pokemon Platinum is my favorite game. Good challenge and good video :)
“I think ash knows a little bit more than us.”
Oh yea the the guy that pronounced hippopatas,
Hipoe-poe-toss
Oh yeah, back then when he still was new to pokémon
@@Teo-kq8in considering gen 4 was a solid 10 years since gen 1, I wouldn't call him new by that point lmao
Discovered your channel recently, insta-love. Keep the dedicated work, no speedup ;), i like your humour. Btw this comment is only for youtube's algorithm.
*gets home drunk Ofcourse got dropped off by a friend*
Oh awesome MDB posted a video can’t wait to watch this and pass tf out
****PREMIERE TOMORROW****
GOD DAMMIT
hope you’re feeling better today
I respect you a lot for not using save states and speed up on the ROMs
I really think that sapphire/ruby/emerald with one kekleon would be cool
Gz on this run!
Y'know... I knew Abra had speed and special sweeping potential, and ofc new it doesn't learn anything but Teleport, but I defo didn't expect it to be this bad for one of these runs!
This was interesting.
"Abra spelled backwards is Arba, and that's hilarious."
Abra with a space in it is "a bra". 👙
I name my abra a bra
I love these. Thanks for being you!
Every "challenge" just ends up being "grind until you win."
I'd be more impressed if you could discover an unwinnable challenge.
He did. The wobbuffet challenge
