  • Playthrough Rules:
    1. Only my starter in battle
    2. No items in battle*
    3. No glitches or exploits*
    4. No Double-Team TM before level 100*
    Other rules:
    -- *Pokeballs are allowed in battle when I need to catch an HM user
    -- I play the game at 4x game speed (238 frames per second)
    -- I allow myself to manipulate my starter (IVs, nature, HP type)
    -- Using the bike for movement speed increases is banned (it can be used to obtain items)
    -- Saving between league members is allowed
    -- If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter
    -- HM Mules cannot use Pickup (I want to ensure that the comparison between Pokemon is as accurate as possible, this RNG would skew things.)
    *Double-Team:
    -- Almost every Pokemon can learn Double-Team through TM
    -- Using it would centralize the meta
    -- Every Pokemon would use it to overcome tough battles at lower levels
    -- It raises evasion
    -- It triggers the badge boost
    -- 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

      Why is there so much fascination with developing very dark theories for things in the pokemon fandom, personally i blame trickle in from the pokemon manga which does have a bit of dystopian vibe for the pokemon world. Like half the fan made games for pokemon always seem to focused on making a "darker" or "gritter" story.

    Steven is known to us as the steel champion, but I think his theme is actually ore/minerals/fossils. He's obsessed with all kinds of evolution stones. He uses fossil Pokemon.
    I think a lot of Elite Four and Champions is less monotype, and more dual speciality/vibes. Ie. Hiker is about the slow and sturdy physical attacker (rock/fighting), and Agatha is about status movies (poison/ghost). Lance and Cynthia are both about overwhelming power - the fast and strong Dragonite and Garchomp. Steven actually stands out because a lot of his pokemon in addition to being good attackers, are very good defensively: Cradily, Metagross.

      There are 2 barriers with that idea:
      1) Deoxys that are not fatefully encountered (Events) or the one obtained at Birth Island will always disobey.
      2) There needs to be 4 Emerald Versions with 1 different form of Deoxys because in Emerald, Deoxys is in its Speed Form. Gen 3 games do not support Form variants until Gen 4.

      @Kahadi ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@prestonpearson581 actually the Fateful Encounter thing is a check implemented in the code for only Deoxys and Mew. If the game registers they are not from an event, they will disobey. This is only a thing in gen 3, and only with Mew and Deoxys, as a rather unique anti-cheat mechanism. There are patches randomizers can implement to change this, though. You can also hack them in by hacking in the events themselves, but this doesn't work for making it your starter.
      Edit: As for Deoxys forms, the data for the other forms doesn't even exist in the game. For a randomizer or hack to allow their access, they need to actually put them in the games themselves, at least as far as I can find. Deoxys will always change forms to whatever is default for that game otherwise.

      @@shadowtitanx3962 It is possible to patch in a loophole to the disobedience, randomizers have found ways to as have other romhacks, so doing Deoxys in general is possible. But you are right that the other forms aren't even in the game, only whatever it's base form is for that game, at least in gen 3. The only way around it is to put them in yourself, which I believe randomizers and romhacks have done, making it possible, but not easy. Maybe he could get help to manage for a much later run, like with skipping Lt. Surge's puzzle or reading the game data for stat updates in gen 1.

    Btw: The reason Steven jumped the ledge was because he was on a camping vacation in Fortree, but needed a Sitrus berry for his Metagross to hold, because he was getting ready to go to Meteor Falls. So he needed to go to the Berry Master to get a couple. After all, nice day for a walk. After that he flew back to Fortree, went to the Keckleon, but as he saw you were on your way, he waited to show you his great skills. Then he flew to his house on Mossdeep :)

    The Torkoal was clearly traded to her, since that early on she couldn't have acquired one herself yet. The traded torkoal was her ace, as it was her only good pokemon and therefore it leveled too quicky - so quickly indeed that it started to ignore her orders. Considering that this turtle is basically a vulcano that erupt, May got scared to use the Torkoal anymore and decided that the Slugma she caught was super friendly and nice to her so she started to train the Slugma instead. It's not as good as Torkoal quite yet but at least it isn't a danger to herself, her friends and her environment.

    @Shenaldrac ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think the reason Mewtwo doesn't have as easy a time as you'd expect is because gen 3 is, well, gen 3. It has a lot more type representation among trainers. Like, in gen 1 you didn't have Steel types or Dark types, there wasn't really anything that _could_ resist Mewtwo's psychic type attacks. It also doesn't start with Psychic like it did in gen 1. So while it does have very high base stats, it now actually has some poor matchups. Oh, and the special split reduced its special defense so there's that too. Enemy pokemon in gen 3 also just have much better movesets overall than gen 1. Even Yellow version which tries to improve gym leaders and the elite 4 is by comparison pretty mediocre. I mean, look at Watson with self buffs, thunder wave, shockwave, etc. Hell, just the fact that gym leaders in this gen have more pokemon minimum than in earlier gens. Roxanne has 3 to Brock's 2, as does Brawly, and Watson has four.
    So, yeah. Mewtwo's still an excellent pokemon, but gen 3 is a more difficult game for a variety of reasons.
    edit: 16:30 The turnstile puzzles are fun, yeah. I call those Golden Sun puzzles, cause they're like the puzzles in the Golden Sun series which is awesome and you should definitely play it.

    I was expecting Mewtwo to beat Rayquaza, but I guess that struggle fest against Poochyena mattered a lot more than I thought!
    I'm really looking forward to the Kyogre run. I actually did a run myself since I was curious, and I managed to first try Steven at level 57! You could probably do this in a lower level though, since I was too reckless and stumbled on a lot of optional trainers haha. My Kyogre didn't have perfect IVs, nature and EVs either, so I'm speculating a level 52-54 run is possible.
    I learned a few things to make a Kyogre run consistent though:
    -Make sure you reach Level 35 before the rival fight in Fortree. It is possible to beat this fight without Ice Beam, but I had to reset twice since Grovyle's Leaf Blade can and will 1-shot if it crits. It also makes Winona a joke. It's worth the slight time loss to fight some optional trainers and grab some rare candies, because the entire game after this point is essentially free. (I notably only needed to reset here and in the Wattson fight... though honestly the only reason I had to reset for Watson was because I forgot to grab Cheri Berries. So I had to keep trying the fight until I crit the Magneton.)
    -Kingdra and Ludicolo are the only two pokemon that can reasonably wall Kyogre. Funnily enough, though, both are also fodder for setting up Calm Mind. Although Ludicolo could be annoying with Leech Seed, since I almost lost the wallace fight thanks to Leech Seed getting me into red.
    -Kyogre is so strong that most battles you won't need Calm Mind at all! I only felt like I needed to set up against Norman, Wallace and Steven. I did set up against Phoebe and Drake predicting Protect from both, but it felt pretty overkill.
    -Timid is the best nature. This guarantees that Kyogre can outspeed and 1-shot Wattson's Voltorb at level 20. STAB Water Pulse on rain is so strong that it even does more damage on resisted hits than Ancientpower or Body Slam. I pretty much only ended up using the two on very fringe cases, or to save Water Pulse PP.
    Good luck on your run! I want to see that 2 hour barrier broken!

    Mewtwo is still good in gen 3,not as much is in kanto, because in emerald psychic types are really doing poorly, because of the dark types and ghost types having physical strong moves. 🤔
    That reset on the poochiyena was really brutal though. 😂
    And about that May's torkoal she had onr in the anime, so maybe the developers were trying to make her have it in the games as well?🤔I think that torkoal would be a better choice to face then slugma would ever be.
    Like always thanks for making us have a good time, I can't wait for tomorrow's video. 😁

    scott, it feels that you spend so many time trying to beat a luck dependant battle, when you could just gain 2 or 3 more levels in 3 minutes and win.
    take psychic tm as soon as possible to get rid of confusion, and go with fire blast instead of flamethrower, as it's cheaper and has passable accuracy.

    My Idea for the Torcoal is that the rival in Ruby, Emerald and Saphire does not seem like a confrontational person, I mean the last fight with them you have before they even get to fully evolve their starter. So I guess since that fight was scipable and it is the only one where they can have a Torcoal the rival just thought that Torcoal was to scary of a Pokemon and the reason why noone ever fought them there.

    Hi Scott! Very enjoying video as always though surprising that Mewtwo struggled sp much in the early game. I really like your focus on data and statistics in all your playthrough and your constantly improving overlay. One suggestion: Can you mark the stats influenced by your chosen nature somehow? You did that in your earlier videos but now it is somehow missing! Thanks a lot for always entertaining me!

    You can get four nuggets between route 113 up to 121, iirc three of them are hidden and I'm not sure if you need an item finder to actually be able to grab them but they could help you get a tm you would want in the game corner sooner with the use of the amulet coin, not sure how big of a difference it would make on a Mewtwo run but I think it would be worth trying

    If Wallace is always going to set up rain dance on turn one, then using calm mind first turn (assuming you outspeed) means that thunder is the better option imo. Assuming you have something to one shot the wishcash, the rest should be one-hits, and with rain dance, thunder obviously bypasses the accuracy check and always hits.
