I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
Oh God I haven't watched that Mystery Dungeon Let's Play in ages, I think this is my sign to rewatch. Also, Karate Chop being normal in a gen where it is only known by Fighting type Pokémon is insane. Gen 1 man...
Plus, Ghost Types are misprogrammed to fail against Phychic Types in Gen 1. No wonder Gen 2 had to introduce Steel and Dark Type Pokémon to balance things out.
On our way through, I took the Helix Fossil. I knew if I didn’t say what I took, you’d all ask. Actually, now that I think about it, everyone asks anyway. Comments are good for the TH-cam algorithm.
I'm not sure who came up with the idea that the Fighting type is "Hero type"-that's never been the case. The Japanese name is and has always been _kakutou_ which just means "fight, wrestle". It does have a connotation of honour since the Dark type covers dirty tactics (biting, feigning injury, ganging up on someone, etc.) but it's not supposed to be inherently heroic.
I see the argument, but isn't bug also the "hero" type? That's why bug beats dark, because heroes frequently have bug costumes in Japanese media, and the dark type is also the "evil" type (still no idea what's going on with Absol in that regard)
@@ashleyvanbeek7045 Aku also doesn’t literally mean "evil", it is a bit more complex than that. Aku can mean "dishonorable", "underhanded", "misfortunate", or just "harmful"; among a few other things on top of meaning "evil".
Oh yeah, I've been waiting for this one! This was my first and only unintentional challenge run that I did as a kid. I'd just watched the episode where Ash's Primeape competed in a fighting tournament, and became obsessed with the idea of using one myself so that's what I did. Started a new game on my copy of Yellow, caught a Mankey to the left of Viridian City and solo'd the entire game with it. I did let it evolve into Primeape but being a 10 year old I'm still really proud of that accomplishment! Anyways MDB I can't wait to see how your run turns out! Gonna call it right now that you've got this!
I have a suggestion: Pokemon Platinum with only one Murkrow. Or if you want to use a different dark type, Pokemon Emerald with only one Sneasel. Murkrow is a glass cannon and Sneasel in gen 2 and 3, dark and ice are all special moves, and its special attack is awful.
Hey MDB, just wanted to say you’re awesome man. Just started this vid but always love the end of your vids, thanks for keeping us in the know. We care about you sir, Happy New Year
thankfully i check your channel quite often for the let's plays, so often that TH-cam doesnt have to tell me you uploaded, do have the bell clicked though and can confirm, this challenge was NOT notified to me, even with the bell clicked, it sucks
I don't miss youtube videos at all without even using the subscriptions page. I just look at the sidebar where my subscriptions are and see if the little blue dot is there indicating the channel has something new. And I don't miss yours cause I follow you on Twitter, which is why I'm here watching this a day early.
25:50 As a viewer I don't like premieres because the notification I get on my phone doesn't have the "Add to Watch Later" button which is my main way of watching YT. Normal uploads, I can just press Watch Later on the notifications as they come up to add to my queue for the day, but premieres I'll have to remember to manually go to the channel and add them to my list from there. It's a minor inconvenience but I spend most of my day every day up on my feet doing housework/cleaning/caretaking with my WL playing from my phone
Y'know it's funny how many people say they subscribe and can't see videos. I've never subscribed to you and yet every Saturday your video is at the top of my home page and my main listen on my drive home from work that night. A few years ago I watched some of your let's plays and got recommended them a lot but they weren't for me as the challenges are what I prefer, so TH-cam rarely shows me anything but your latest challenge. So for me it works perfectly, I guess.
They probably mean it as in get notifications on their phone and not having to go into their subscriptions feed to see if the channels they subscribed to uploaded anything recently.
Can I just say I'm glad your not doing premiers. Those forced me to wait until the premier was over to watch the video. There was a 0% chance I would be there right as it started so I'd have to either join in late or wait until it was done to watch it. And then there was a decent chance I would miss it and not watch until the next day. This time I was just busy all day yesterday. Comments are good for the youtube algorithm (and premiers are bad for it apparently)
First Pokémon Challenge of the year and it was amazing. Now, first request of the year. Pokémon Gold with only one Krabby and it must be your HM Slave.
MahDryBread Folks, instead of grinding for 1 or two levels to guarentee a dig kill, he instead trys a battle over and over hoping for a lucky crit. Classic MahDryBread folks. this is why i watch these
I haven't updated my YT app in a long time but your videos always show up in my feed when you have a new one. Especially the Saturday Pokémon challenges!
Excellent run! truly shows that sweepers are simply better than other archetypes in a game such as pokemon. truly shows the ample chasm between competitive and non-competitive pokemon, I'd reckon.
Wait, did I hear that right? You're doing a Slaking run?! At long last?! Gaah, I've been waiting forever for you to do a run with Slaking, he's one of my favorite Pokemon!! THIS is the real Christmas present to me, at least. I'm so psyched for it!!
I am once again asking you to take the fossil opposite the one you say you took. Just to see who notices. Yes, I know he took the Dome fossil on a fossils only run when he started with Omanyte. But that is not what I mean. I mean I want to hear "I took the Root fossil" while seeing the Claw fossil being taken. Or hearing "I took the Helix fossil" while seeing the Dome fossil being taken. And to those who say that this has happened before - when? Show me! I've looked and looked and have not seen it! Please don't just say "I think he did it before. I don't remember where" or things like that. It does not help me.
Yeah MDB probably didn't realize this because Rock Slide isn't used much in Gen 1. Rock Slide starts causing flinches in gen 2, although I'm not sure if there's any gen past gen 1 where Rock Slide doesn't cause flinching.
Here’s a suggestion: pokemon but no stab (same type attack bonus) moves. For example, a fire type can't use fire moves or a normal type can't use normal moves. Whether they can use statues moves of the same type or not is up to you
A suggestion for a rather difficult challenge. "Assist only run" where in Black 1 you have to use something like Purrloin and only use assist. You can have whatever other pokemon you want on the team for Assist to go off of. You just can't use them lol
Hey MDB, Maybe a weird comment but I live in Ontario too, about an hour out from Toronto so I like being able to support someone so close to home. How's health stuff going? Always liked sticking around after the video to hear about how you are doing. I have been watching since the pandemic every Saturday and TH-cam pushes your uploads as a notification to my phone. Hope all is well. I let all your videos run in the background when I code so hopefully that helps. Maybe can you do a Gold challenge with only one Chikorita?
I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is. For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
This seems like a good idea 😮 it might be a little tricky for MDB time-wise and figuring out the breeding mechanics if he's not worked with them before 🤔
I didn’t see anyone else post it, so random Gen 1 differences: Rock Slide doesn’t have a flinch chance in this generation. It was a gen 2 change that gave it the iconic flinch chance.
MDBAMA - hey MDB just wanna say love your channel and have been watching for 2 years and I wanna know if you’ll ever think about doing rom hack challenges? If so crystal clear is a good one with the gyms scaling to your badge count!
Blaine may have "Good" a.i, so is programmed to use moves that have a type advantage instead of random moves. Trouble is game sees agility as a psychic type move and will spam that even though it's a non damaging move if there's no better psychic moves available
Alakazam will never use Recover in this run. Every Alakazam you fight is programmed to go for super effective moves, and Recover is not a psychic move - it's Normal.
I'm walking around my neighborhood doing the community day thing in Pokemon go for spring and Tito and while watching this and as the Law States I have to say in any kanto run we don't talk about Bruno
I don't know why, but for some reason I read the title as "Can I beat Red with only Mankey". The following thoughts were wondering how far Mankey would get in Gold and Silver
21:00 Actually, that's not entirely true. In the newer games at least, it depneds on who used the attack that caused the draw. If you use a recoil move that takes an enemy pokemon, and it takes them both out, then the pokemon that last attacked (The one that used the recoil move) is declared the winner! So, if you take out the enemy pokemon with a recoil move, and it takes you out and ends the battle, then you win, because technically your pokemon died last. The only instance of you losing the draw with a move that takes out both pokemon, is when using either Self-Destruct or Explosion, since you're pokemon dies first
I've had to cull down my subscription list and just check my subscriptions feed every day to ensure that I'm getting to see all of the content from the creators that I care about. I've completely disabled my recommendations and such simply because it was feeding me garbage.
People complaining about not getting "notified" of new videos. It's as if they don't have/use the bell icon in the upper right. Or theirs is legit broken, can't relate.
Arbok glaring at a pile of dirt if helarious lol Can you do a heracross only run? And as for the patreon thing I'm probably gonna check that out so I can delete twitter lol I literally only chek it on Fridays to get the video early but I'd much rather just throw you a few bucks each month to help keep you and yours going
MDBAMA: Are there any Pokemon challenge type requests you wish you'd get more of? (eg: more solo playthrough requests using middle-of-the-road Pokemon like Chimecho, Qwilfish, or Porygon, more interesting/quirky team playthroughs like using only Pokemon obtainable at the Celadon/Goldenrod City Game Corner) How about Pokemon challenge type requests you wish you'd get less of? (Eg: less solo playthrough requests using blatantly weak Pokemon like Magikarp, Luvdisc, or Bidoof, less playthroughs with blatantly torturous rules like no new moves, Metronome only, or no free healing) As for the Mankey playthrough, I am pleasantly surprised at how low a level you were able to beat the game at! I've always felt that the Mankey evolution line was underrated, particularly with it being one of the few fast Fighting types. However, I didn't think it could beat the game at a level as low as 62 while unevolved. Not that I'm complaining, of course.
Hey I noticed you walked downstairs in silph co after getting the card key, but you can just open the door immediately to the left of the teleport pad to use that rooms teleport pad to go down to the 3rd floor without having to battle the rocket outside that room.
The weird Normal-type moves that should be Fighting-type have been really throwing me off in the run of FireRed I started the other day (the first new Pokémon game I've started in many, many years). I used the Move Tutor to teach my Mankey Mega Punch over Scratch, thinking I was about to get an awesome STAB move for what so far has been the MVP of my team. If I had actually looked into it before teaching the move, I probably would have kept the less powerful but more accurate non-STAB move.
Hey! Sorry it's a few hours late! I literally just forgot to set up the premiere time, I was so busy working on stuff
No worries! Hope all the “stuff” is going well!
You good also MONKE
That's such a MahDryBread thing to do! Hahah we love you

gust is also a normal move in gen 1. i get bite bc dark didn't exist yet, but gust and razor wind have no excuse in addition to karate chop.
My suggestion : Pokemon White2 or Black2 with only one Maractus 🌵

It's probably because the Swords of *Justice* are all Fighting type.

@@lucarioluxray29 no it's not. it's called aku in Japanese, which also literally means evil.

Here i was thinking it's not Saturday because there was no live lol good thing we're keeping this up every week good job buddy
I agree with it not feeling like a Saturday 😵💫

They probably mean it as in get notifications on their phone and not having to go into their subscriptions feed to see if the channels they subscribed to uploaded anything recently.
Lots of people just use homepage and not the sub feed. Honestly, I don't get it. I vastly prefer the sub page to the homepage.
I can't shake the image of "Arbok glaring at a pile of dirt"
Thank you for explaining the premier issue! I was one who totally thought you had gone dark.
MDBAMA - Do you have notes for your playthroughs in different gens/games or even guides that you’ve created along the way to streamline challenges?

Pokemon Platinum with only a charmander!
The weird fish!? 😂
Random. I like it.
Can we get a fatman only run on fallout? April first is around the corner 😂
If you do this, do New Vegas, I want a run full of Tiny Tots nuclear clusterbombs.
BAD MANKEY!!! Man I love the Mystery Dungeon playthrough
putting out the idea of doing an archen run, the ability just feels like it'd make for an interesting challenge!
Excellent run! truly shows that sweepers are simply better than other archetypes in a game such as pokemon. truly shows the ample chasm between competitive and non-competitive pokemon, I'd reckon.
Anyone else starting to think that Mankey in Gen 1 looked like the bottom half of a meowth doing a handstand with its feet and tail in the air.
Blain got his gym master certificate from a cereal box
Wait, did I hear that right? You're doing a Slaking run?! At long last?! Gaah, I've been waiting forever for you to do a run with Slaking, he's one of my favorite Pokemon!! THIS is the real Christmas present to me, at least. I'm so psyched for it!!

Rock Slide got the chance to flinch starting in generation 2.
Gen 1 Rock Slide cannot, in fact, cause flinches.
Yeah MDB probably didn't realize this because Rock Slide isn't used much in Gen 1. Rock Slide starts causing flinches in gen 2, although I'm not sure if there's any gen past gen 1 where Rock Slide doesn't cause flinching.
Huh... my brain always just naturally assumed Karate Chop was Fighting-type.
Here’s a suggestion: pokemon but no stab (same type attack bonus) moves. For example, a fire type can't use fire moves or a normal type can't use normal moves. Whether they can use statues moves of the same type or not is up to you
MDBAMA- I'm curious on why you call it Water Onix, I've always kind of went with it without questioning. Keep up the good work, enjoy your vids. :)
I think he just accidentally called it "Onix" in one video and went with it.
Why the Helix fossil?
How the Helix Fossil?
Who the Helix fossil?
What the Helix Fossil?
When the Helix fossil?
To helix fossil or not to helix fossil tis the question
Where the Helix fossil?
A suggestion for a rather difficult challenge. "Assist only run" where in Black 1 you have to use something like Purrloin and only use assist. You can have whatever other pokemon you want on the team for Assist to go off of. You just can't use them lol
Hey MDB,
Maybe a weird comment but I live in Ontario too, about an hour out from Toronto so I like being able to support someone so close to home. How's health stuff going? Always liked sticking around after the video to hear about how you are doing. I have been watching since the pandemic every Saturday and TH-cam pushes your uploads as a notification to my phone. Hope all is well. I let all your videos run in the background when I code so hopefully that helps. Maybe can you do a Gold challenge with only one Chikorita?
Turns out that Mankey has a surprising amount of punch!
Did you realize that you made a palindromic boss rush?
Rival->Giovanni->psychic gym->Giovanni->rival
I loved the Mystery Dungeon reference and those games!
I just love the sprite of Mankey in Pokemon Red!
You should pick the dome fossil just to mix things up
I have an idea for a fun challenge, One that means you could even use Drowzee. Can you beat Pokemon Black (Or any game from gen's 5 ,6 or 7) with only the move Assist? Purrloin learns Assist at level 6 so it'd be the starter, Then if you get a male Purrloin you can breed it with other's to get more Pokemon. I think this would be a great wacky challenge since the more Pokemon on your team the more random the move is.
For any that don't know Assist uses a random move known by any of the user's party Pokémon, With some exceptions. So even Pokemon that can't use Assist would still be useful if they have good moves that Assist can use. Drowzee is in the Human-Like Egg Group so If you want one with Assist you'd need a Spinda since they're in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so can breed with Purrloin and Drowzee. You could also use a Chimchar as a starter if you give it Assist as an Egg Move, They're also in the Field and Human-Like Egg Groups so a male one can breed the move into any Pokemon with Assist.
This seems like a good idea 😮 it might be a little tricky for MDB time-wise and figuring out the breeding mechanics if he's not worked with them before 🤔
I didn’t see anyone else post it, so random Gen 1 differences: Rock Slide doesn’t have a flinch chance in this generation. It was a gen 2 change that gave it the iconic flinch chance.
Suggestion: would you ever consider doing a run in Yellow Legacy where things like Karate Chop's type are fixed but it's still gen 1?
Likely not. I remember him saying something about ROM edits in an ask-me-anything segment before
MDBAMA - hey
MDB just wanna say love your channel and have been watching for 2 years and I wanna know if you’ll ever think about doing rom hack challenges? If so crystal clear is a good one with the gyms scaling to your badge count!
Blaine may have "Good" a.i, so is programmed to use moves that have a type advantage instead of random moves.
Trouble is game sees agility as a psychic type move and will spam that even though it's a non damaging move if there's no better psychic moves available
I already know you can do it, Mankey is the king. Mankey can clobber all challengers. Mankey is the key to man, master him and become king.
Comments a good for the algorithms, love it all and love your work :-)
Alakazam will never use Recover in this run. Every Alakazam you fight is programmed to go for super effective moves, and Recover is not a psychic move - it's Normal.
I am so happy to see you named him bad mankey 😂 I'm surprised it fit
So glad you named it Bad Mankey
I'm walking around my neighborhood doing the community day thing in Pokemon go for spring and Tito and while watching this and as the Law States I have to say in any kanto run we don't talk about Bruno
Only possible explanation for why Blaine is so bad is that he's secretly MC's absentee father and letting him win to give him the easy badge.
I always thought it was weird that Gust was normal in Gen 1.
MY MAN MANKEY MY MOST MAGNIFICENT MONKEY! Pokémon alliterations :)
Imagine being Lance & a Lv.60 Mankey takes out your entire team
I don't know why, but for some reason I read the title as "Can I beat Red with only Mankey". The following thoughts were wondering how far Mankey would get in Gold and Silver
How did I not know until today that Karate Chop had a boosted crit rate?
A quick note: In Gen 1, Rock Slide doesn't have a chance to flinch. It gained that in gen 2.
21:00 Actually, that's not entirely true. In the newer games at least, it depneds on who used the attack that caused the draw. If you use a recoil move that takes an enemy pokemon, and it takes them both out, then the pokemon that last attacked (The one that used the recoil move) is declared the winner! So, if you take out the enemy pokemon with a recoil move, and it takes you out and ends the battle, then you win, because technically your pokemon died last. The only instance of you losing the draw with a move that takes out both pokemon, is when using either Self-Destruct or Explosion, since you're pokemon dies first
Just wanted to say that I finally tried Pokerogue and now I'm hooked.
Am i the only one that thought about the Smosh video during the intro? xD

Happy new year MDB
Currently doing a skunky/shunktank only run i havnt found anyone else doing it so why not start with the favorites
My suggestion: Pokemon Platinum with only Buneary
People complaining about not getting "notified" of new videos. It's as if they don't have/use the bell icon in the upper right. Or theirs is legit broken, can't relate.
Blaine uses agility because it's a psychic type move and psychic is super effective vs fighting. AFAIK Gen 1 doesn't check if it's an attacking move
11:04 No, it's the lowest power move in the entire series. Even to this day, the only thing that's come close is Mud-Slap at 15.
Mankeys Backsprite looks more like a weird a tentacle thing and not like a Karate Monkey.
My suggestion: any game using only Pokemon from the first route
Mankeys back sprite in gen 1 looks so creepy lol
I had never missed a premier but for some reason I had to search for this to find it!
I've always watched via my subscriptions tab, I can't believe people don't do that.
Arbok glaring at a pile of dirt if helarious lol
Can you do a heracross only run?
And as for the patreon thing I'm probably gonna check that out so I can delete twitter lol I literally only chek it on Fridays to get the video early but I'd much rather just throw you a few bucks each month to help keep you and yours going
I love your runs don’t ever stop
Lickitung only run please ❤❤
MDBAMA: Are there any Pokemon challenge type requests you wish you'd get more of? (eg: more solo playthrough requests using middle-of-the-road Pokemon like Chimecho, Qwilfish, or Porygon, more interesting/quirky team playthroughs like using only Pokemon obtainable at the Celadon/Goldenrod City Game Corner) How about Pokemon challenge type requests you wish you'd get less of? (Eg: less solo playthrough requests using blatantly weak Pokemon like Magikarp, Luvdisc, or Bidoof, less playthroughs with blatantly torturous rules like no new moves, Metronome only, or no free healing)
As for the Mankey playthrough, I am pleasantly surprised at how low a level you were able to beat the game at! I've always felt that the Mankey evolution line was underrated, particularly with it being one of the few fast Fighting types. However, I didn't think it could beat the game at a level as low as 62 while unevolved. Not that I'm complaining, of course.
I am pretty sure the leer miss was a gen 1 miss, the 1/256 glitch
Got a couple challenge suggestions: recoil moves only run (struggle included) and gen 4 or 5 using only gen 1 moves.
Rock Slide doesn't have a flinch chance in Gen. 1.
Hey I noticed you walked downstairs in silph co after getting the card key, but you can just open the door immediately to the left of the teleport pad to use that rooms teleport pad to go down to the 3rd floor without having to battle the rocket outside that room.
The weird Normal-type moves that should be Fighting-type have been really throwing me off in the run of FireRed I started the other day (the first new Pokémon game I've started in many, many years). I used the Move Tutor to teach my Mankey Mega Punch over Scratch, thinking I was about to get an awesome STAB move for what so far has been the MVP of my team. If I had actually looked into it before teaching the move, I probably would have kept the less powerful but more accurate non-STAB move.
I wish someone would make a jack that makes every trainer Blaine and then we see how it goes
That would be a hilarious hack
Do what you gotta do man!
Another great video. I'd like to see Pokémon Crystal using only Metronome
So how many of you guys ever nicknamed a Manky spanky?
Mankey let's goooo ❤❤❤❤❤
