I love how it went from Gigabrain tactics to beat a single Pokémon to "Oh no dynamic punch, what will I do? *Kills every pokémon in a 20 mile radius* "
It’s really funny how the early game is the hardest part of his challenge runs. Remember the Combee? Ant’s PTSD sure does.
It really does feel that the hardest part in a Pokémon romhack challenge is establishing yourself, but when you do things go far smoother just because the player knows how to play Pokémon well.
@@iantaakalla8180 well, this challange is especially "bad" in that department, because the rare candy price is static. If it increased with your badges and maybe not start at 2k this would be a far smoother difficultie curve.
@@iantaakalla8180 Plus there's a lot more choices open to you in late-game, such as movepool, held items, party pokemon, compared to everything being rather limited at the start
@@nedcurfman3486 what happened with the combee again
I love how Smant ends up running a sand team… and Arvin.
It’s a cool name tho dont lie
@@arvin3613 👀🤣
crowbat's just that good
He’s a gym leader 😭
@@jorgelazaro6833 Gym leader Smant want's to fight
I just noticed he caught a Rhyhorn with a defence-up nature. That was INSANE.
Like, on top of everything - the eviolite, and Rhydon’s already respectable defence stat - the nature just HAPPENED to match the role Rhydon played on the team. Impeccable.
Litterly a wall against physical attacks
That's why rthe rhyhorn I named turnt2, the first one he caught he named turnt but it had a negative defense nature so he ditched it to catch a new one with defense up nature and named it turnt2

the emotion I felt when 14 got replaced… unparalleled. the bittersweet melancholy of needing to replace the ‘mon that’s stuck with you since the start in favor of a more strategically sound team member gets me every time
Amen
Unless you play a variant of Nuzlocke that never allows switching a Pokémon on your team when you capture it.
I haven't switched my brilliant diamond up until the elite 4
Yeah
Immediately spoiled
"i have nothing that resists water" Snivy in the box: "am i a joke to you?"
Something I appreciate about smant is his sense of comedy. At the very end he could have easily KO'd the Dragonite with an attack but instead goes for the bit and throws his master ball
The Dragonite was probably going to outspeed anyway so any attack would have had effectively the same outcome.
All pain felt by Pokemon hurts him to
ayy it’s arcade hawk I love your videos
So funny right? Our buddy smant 😂😂🫡 talking like he knows u
Move: *Does almost half damage*
Smallant: “That did nothing!”
Yea that aint anything for tanner, pro pokemon players will know… even if a attack did small damage, sometimes we will say that did a lot of damage. It depends on what type of attack it is and how much it should do, there are a lot of things that factor in. Hope this makes sense
Man’s put this comment up and could’ve only watched 19 minutes. You’re on it in the comments lol
@@Saucetin. lol
He used return on a lucario with almost full happiness and high friendship.... ofc it did nothing
that's normal for Pokemon
the issue with this run is that rare candies are just as effective on level 99s as on level 3s, so once you get a lot of money in the midgame you snowball massively
The only way to really fix that is raise the price based on your badges
@@zoxfalcon2510 you could make it so that you got a set amount of xp for an amount of money ig
@@nedalsoned9940
That would probably make it unbalanced in the opposite direction. Maybe something like it increases with the in-game timer, or you buy levelups directly rather than buying them as rare candies so you can make the price based on the actual level.
@@MisterBones2910 Not that exp candies existed in gen 5 but they would work significantly better than the rare candies.
Easy fix I think to make things more interesting is that Rare Candies start at 100P, then go up 100P every time you buy one (a triangular system). That way it becomes harder to level the more you do it, just like real leveling. If the average caught/received Pokemon starts at lv30, and you wanted to get six of them to, say, 70, you'd need 240 candies. At 2000P each, that'd cost 480,000P. With the triangular system, it'd be (((240+1) * 240) / 2) * 100 = 2,892,000P. If you only earned the 480k you'd normally spend on candies, that'd get you 97, enough to level each Pokemon to around 46-47.
This would force the player to either a) come up with better strategies, b) battle more trainers for more money, or c) level up less Pokemon. I think that'd make a far more interesting challenge.
Smallant: What's Team Plasma's goal here?
Also Smallant when Team Plasma explains their goals: blah blah blah blah blah
That Ampharos Focus Blast sequence was a straight up rollercoaster of emotions
Also, funny you mention Caitlin's Reuniclus having Focus Blast as well because that's in the base game
Yeah, gen 5 gave its major fights solid coverage
Can't believe it actually landed focus miss tho, which have a 0% accuracy rate.
@@demarkus4566 its 0% accurate for the players but 100% for the opponent
That masterball throw was such a perfect finisher to this challenge LMAO
Timestamp? I can't find it lmao
@@Tofu_Kiki 1:06:28
I wondered why he didn’t use it before that. 🤣 amazing finish
The disrespect.
13:26 I never realized how great ryhorns sprite was in this game it almost looks 3D
Gen 5 sprites were done so perfectly
it's so c h a r m i.n g
Would you say the the 3D is limited?
I love the limited 3D they used in this game. It's so charming!
some of my fav sprites by far
Honestly I would say the rare candies make this easier. It removes a lot of the grind (grinding levels for hours can be really tedious but I'm talking about general content) and makes the late game basically free. Maybe a good way to balance it more is to scale the price as you beat gyms? Still a really cool concept and makes the game more enjoyable since you're most likely replaying it.
Also not dissing Smallant I think he did an incredible job and handicapping himself with level 69s was a really cool move. I'm referring more towards regular players
I think using the modern exp candies instead would be better, but obviously that's not an option in this game. Some scaling into late game is for sure needed though.
we gotta admit that eviolite Rhydon was the MVP of the run
Definitely
Weakest Eviolite user
I applaud you for having fun whilst also feeling extreme pain.
I'll say the same to Chris Rock

this sprite animation was the peak of battle sprites to me. some movement, but still spritey enough to retain the fun poses without looking unnatural
“Oh! We fought a rich person!” Out of context is just amazing
Laughed so hard at "why does it have water pulse" when fighting Cheren. Drayano. That's why. Drayano.
Cheren must have transferred in a Buneary from Gen 4 lol
The best part is , this was bb2 which is one of his easier hacks. BB 1 on the other hand ...
@@vedaryan334 or fire red omega or storm silver. God both of those were pain!
*laughs in Kaizo where everything has bonkers coverage*
Seriously, I saw that and was like "Yeah, that's pretty normal."
Drayano is crazy with his Rom Hacks, Blaze Black 1 and 2 are fantastic
Honestly, with the gen 5 xp system I feel like this is easier in the long run
As a avid fan of b2w2, I can confirm that this is definitely easier than having to repeatedly murder Pokémon Breeders over and over again just to see the exp bar gain one pixel.
But Gen 5 gives you more xp than other games when your level is lower than the opponent’s, and it’s basically impossible to lose in any Pokemon game if your levels match or are higher than your opponent’s
@@ShuckleShellAnemia yeah but then you spend 10000 years trying to grind for the elite 4
@@tylerbreckenridge3850 …so don’t grind for the elite four? Just buy some items before fighting them.
@@ShuckleShellAnemia fun fact on black and white 2 challenge mode is actually easier than easy mode long term because you will level up faster cos of relative exp.
I love watching these and thinking you're smashing through these games crazy quick, but then now and again noticing the clock at the bottom and realising how much grind you must have to do for these challenges
When you think about it, making the player have to buy levels makes the game much more similar to Dark Souls. You have to choose between spending money on levels or items, and when you lose fights you lose XP/Money but you can try over and over.
Ive been waiting for a rom like this for ages
The main difference being that the levels always cost the same.
this truly is the dark souls of Pokémon mods
Can we play this Rom somehow?
@@TheUzumakirendan yeah just look it up and u can download, u will need an emulator tho. If your on android try drastic ds.
I love whenever a pokemon takes a super effective hit and his eyes widen to a comical degree
"Do I want levels or items?"
This truly is the Dark Souls of pokemon rom hacks.
"I'm not fighting these kids because they don't give any money"-Smallant
Smallant calling his Crobat “Arvin” made me so happy
I wonder why
Fun fact: The number of blackouts (45) in hexadecimal is also 69.
coincidence? I think not
Had me so confused, but I got it:
if you *read* the number of blackouts as hexadecimal then in decimal it's 69. Feels a bit too numerology since you're changing the number but still...
nice
@@emdivine Nah I don‘t think so. Hexadecimal is one of the most often used bases.
@@Zwiebelgian Well yeah it is and it's a nice coincidence, I was just commenting on like... it's 45, you made it a different number from 45 that's all. Just kinda reminded me slightly of how numerologists can turn anything into any number they want to "prove" that idk, lions are actually angels or something.
Nice.
I like how at the beginning he was broke but later he’s like “how do we have 20000 poke dollar?!!”
While Platinum is my favorite of the ds pokemon games (i'm bias to sinnoh), the Black and White games are always so visually fun to look at from how much it pushes the ds hardware and looks so different.
5th and 6th generations were the best to me. For a ds, 5th generation was awesome and damn were those cities beautiful. 6th was the new gen. The switch to 3D made it even better. Some Pokemons got their animations and looks a bit changed but the overall looks were insane. Sword and shield and scarlet and violet look kind of weird to me. Like clay figures. Everything looks last gen because the switch isn't particularly powerful

I love how he gets surprised by a Nidoking having ice beam lmao. We rom hack nuzlockers know the pain
You learn a lot by what move someone gets surprised by. Ice Beam has been a standard move for Nidoking its entire existence, even before Sheer Force + Life Orb was a thing.
Nidoking learns like 3/4ths of all moves in Pokémon lmao
@@benjamintorres4732 gotta love that "gen 1 pokemon gets too much coverage" thing nidoking gots down
“That would actually be really good for early game, we could have a Lucario before the first gym”
This guy Blaze-Blacks
I really like this challenge. Getting all your levels through trainer battles and having more difficult AI makes it much more entertaining and much less grindy and much more of a challenge.
If Iris's Latios/Latias had Soul Dew, they'd be ridiculous, even by challenge hack standards
Tell that they emerald kaizo.
@@Isabelle-mp8rk to be fair emerald kaizo dosnt have ev and you have bb glitch which makes its kinda possible
@@dragullongblackfang8073 evs can arguably make the game easier depending on if the ai has good ev spreads or not
Plot twist: Lati@s has Soul Dew but only uses physical attacks.
@@Isabelle-mp8rk depends the shs has said the he would not make it it is litterly you cannot change the evs of bosse for some reason in gen 1-2-3 for some reason no idea if you can do it in gen 4 do

I feel like Excadrill's idle animation lined up pretty well w/ that low sweep at 31:59 lol XD
When I was a kid... I actually did try throwing the Master Ball at Lance's Dragonite in Red... I mean it said that it would catch anything without fail so...
Lul my 9 year older brother told me he did the same thing when he played
3:22 can we appreciate the shape of this patch
It looks like the letter Y.
It's always been like that in the game.
But yes. The shape is.... Sus.

Man, this brings back memories. The Black/White games were the first main series Pokemon games I had (the very first game I had being Pokemon Conquest). Seeing fun mods of the game is making me super happy
"I have to balance between buying items and levels" if this were a nuzlocke this would essentially be a pokemon souls-like

I remember trying out Volt White when it first came out. I was still a kid who didn't know anything about strategy.
Needless to say that I never finished it.
Actually if you level up join avenue enough you get access to items that increase your level. That together with challenge mode and the anti-piracy measure means that you can in theory get a challenge run pretty similar to this without having to modify the game at all which is pretty cool
What anti-piracy stuff does Pokemon have?
@@velvetbutterfly If you emulate BW or B2W2 without an anti piracy patch the game will prevent you from gaining exp
smant setting up 6 work ups on roxie and then completely sweeping her is what we in the biz call a gamer move
edit: the crobat/rhydon/flygon switching into X Speed Swords Dance Lucario is also an absolute gamer moment
I really wanted 14 to last the whole run, though the sandstorm team was a really neat gimmick. Great video as always

Some advice if you want to try this challenge yourself:
-Pickup mons will help a lot of they’re available. Get on as soon as possible if you can.
-You can farm infinite money really fast by getting feathers on driftveil bridge. Use the bike to increase spawnrates.
Doesn't farming money make the challenge pointless
@@wereowl9369 depends on your view on it.
It does for some, but for others it’s a way of optimizing the challenge.
@@Moxtrots but if you optimize the challenge to the point where it is as easy if you hadn't of done the challenge then why do the challenge in the first place, novelty?
@@wereowl9369 fair point. Perhaps some may want to do the challenge, then use this optimization (by their definition) to make themselves feel smart or good at it.
It's really nice to see some other types of challenge on rom hacks than regular hardcore nuzlockes. I really enjoyed this video!
This challenge was so much fun to watch live. I even watched all the vods, but it's been so long that it's amazing to have an hour long recap. Love the poke challenges ant!
I miss Gen 5s low health song so much. It was not only a vast improvement over the old constant beeping, but way more engaging and exciting than just having a single warning sound when you enter red like the games have.
God I love the limited 3D they used in this game. Its so charming.

Isn’t Pokémon already capitalism? The trainers get to reap all the benefits while the ‘mons do all the work
I'll let you know that Houndoom's special attack is its highest stat
Summary of this video is basically smallant saying: “It outspeeds?!”
Smant's reaction to getting Earthquake is exactly me when I play the games that have unlimited TMs: "aaaaahhhh teach it to everyone."
As a person who plays pokemon games wrong all the time, I always love your twists when you play pokemon Smallant. Always fun to watch and see your strats
Just yesterday, I started revisiting Black and White, as it’s my favorite Pokémon game and has some of my favorite Pokémon, and now today you bring me this.
