"new trainer becomes champion" Nurse Joy: Does anyone remember seeing him before? Nurse Joy 2: No...must be one of those kids who trained in the mountains...
dude… i feel the same way, and i wouldn’t say it’s great. i can’t speak for him but when i’m depressed, i love sleeping because my dreams are the only time i feel good.
I am very concern about this. A lot of people are going all into content making when financially it may fail. Advertisers are still mostly influence by old media and TH-cam is too afraid to loose them so they put strict, vague rules to please them. TH-cam is art and I always believed that making art should be about principle first with selling it being a low priority and always having a stable income somewhere else in case it fails. I never liked the idea about having a dream job since it gives unrealistic expectations. The reality is that you are more likely to be working at a job that you hate. Stick to making art in your personal time and never substitute it with a career. His " dream life" will hurt when it crashes due to things outside of his control . Best prepare for impact now. That is why I don't dream.

Daaaamn that perish song was one hell of a way to finish the fight! It seems like the trick up an anime protagonist’s sleeve to win a fight they otherwise would’ve lost.
I wonder if MDB was aware that that the "perish song the metagross" strat was actually used in the Very first ever Nuzlocke? The original webcomic that created the challenge was a hoenn playthrough and he So nearly one and got stephen down to only metagross and perish songed it but it one shot each of his last 3 pokemon beating him just before perish song would have won him the run, which is how the first ever Nuzlocke ended in a Last minute failure.
That’s how I beat the elite 4 and champion in several play throughs. It only has 5 PP and there’s the Elite 4 and the Champion. Battle and survive long enough for them to only have their last Pokémon out and have enough revives and you win it all.
I was telling my roommates about this challenge, and asked them, "Guess how he keeps his PP up" and they burst out laughing I don't think they understand how *hard* it is...

31:41 He can't heal because he has to recharge from Hyper Beam that turn. That doesn't just prevent attacking, it prevents doing anything, and unlike Gen 1 the AI here don't cheat.
@@Kris2005isMine kaiba didn't cheat. He played 3 Blue-Eyes on 3 Seperate turns. Also, Duelist Kingdom had different rules than Battle City. Kazuki Takahashi wrote it to be a blend of DnD with MTG.
The hardest challenge for me if I ever do this run, especially on emulator with turbo button, is stopping myself from entering Pokemon Center on reflex and healing my mons without realizing it.
It's always at least a little surprising how hard it can be to get over habit in a game when something changes the rules (whether in-game, or a voluntary challenge like this).
Unknown 247 I do that too. It makes sense. Generally you use your STAB moves most often, so you want to make them (slightly) easier to get to. You generally use coverage moves only when they are the only available useful moves, so they don’t have to be as easy to get to, because they won’t be used as often.
When I read that before actually getting into the video I thought it was a joke about someone asking his character to sleep in one of the beds to heal up during the game. What this was actually about was a very cool response.
"I only had one mud shot left but never get to use it as Solrock takes out a miracle" Me: Solrock was doing you a favor by taking out Swampert as mud shot wouldn't have hit because both of them have levitate! Great video, love these challenges and your pokemon stadium videos! ^_^
To be fair, Mud shot sounds like the type of ground attack that should be able to hit flying/levitating targets as an exception to the rule. Like, its a literal projectile so it even sounds like more of a rock attack but it's not quite solid enough to count.
You know, you beating that Metagross at the end reminded me of my playthough of Ultra Moon, where I, after getting stomped my Mega Mewtwo Y over and over, used my brain and hatched myself a destiny bond Mimikyu to tank the first hit, because Mimikyu, then Destiny Bond to take it out next turn. It worked and I felt so smart.
I know everyone has commented this, but god damn. "Why would I sleep when my life has become better than my dreams" - that's deep as heck. Keep up the great work. I'm one of the many who joined over the past weeks and I'm working my way through-out your videos. Thanks for keeping me entertained, you're awesome! :)
The repeated use of “Earthquake uses Earthquake” and “used Earthquake on Earthquake” had me dying. It actually made me spill my water! Keep up the good work, I love your content!
26:34 - 27:24 I’m so late to this vid somehow considering I’ve watched so many of your others but hearing this made me really pleased to be part of this community. You’ve earned all the success that’s come your way and I’m so happy for you. Congratulations.
I'm a pretty new subscriber to the channel my dude but your explanation of why you do these challenges and what motivates you and how grateful you are really made me smile. You seem awesome and I wish you every success with the channel, I'll be watching every Pokémon/DBZ video you put up!
I find it funny that the algorithm recommened your channel after years of not watching Pokemon content. I clicked on an old Pikasprey video and it recommended your channel. I've been unable to log off in three days, I almost watched your entire challenge playlist. I'm a Gen 1/FR loyalist (I didn't play any other games yet), so your content is a gold mine to me. Subbed!
Hey man! I know I comment a lot on your vids, but I'm happy to hear that you will be starting to take some time to recharge. Congrats on the 10 year record and it was amazing to hear some of your story and how you can now help everyone close to you. It really hit with me about how dedicated you are to the people you are closest with :) Here's a comment for the YT algorithm hahaha
Colin Lindsey well it would be impossible if he didn’t have sturdy because if he ran into something that was super effective he would have to one shot it or he’d be screwed
Shuffled the Pokémon challenge playlist this weekend since MDB was too busy with catch-up work and landed on this one! And I’m glad I did too, this has always been an interesting concept for a challenge!
You deserve everything you have, actually you deserve more, that taking care of mom comment really got to me for some reason and you’ve motivated me for some odd reason, you’re killing it, keep up the good work!
I love your videos, and it was so touching to hear that you are able to pay off your debt and help out your mom! I'm amazed by your ideas and the strategy you put behind them to see them to the end. It's a win win
That Aggron VS Dusclops battle reminded me of that image where an Alakazam is fighting a Drowzee and the text reads: "Disable disabled the opponent's disable!"
This guy SmallAnt called you out a little while back on this challenge about your PC use to get more Pokemon, so he did this run with only the first 6 mons he got in-game... But he used the move deleter and HMs for infinite pp. This run kicks ass. Love seeing these videos!!
@@SoRa-re1yd I used to beat pokemon games by just over-leveling my starter when I was younger. Having the option to get your level as high as you need it to overcome an obstacle is a much more powerful tool than being able to swap for type coverage. Being able to work around the PP limitation is way more useful than being able to change team members IMO
Pretty smart tactic to purposefully mispronounce pokemon names so more people would comment and thus the video having better chances to be picked up by the algorithm.
I'm genuinely not trying to say it wrong. I can't believe this is genuinely something people think When I want people to comment, I literally just ask like with the Fossil gag
That quote you gave in the middle of the video really adds depth and a different dimension, much respect man. My one question: 24:12 Wally is at the beginning of Victory Road 34:35 Wally is at the end of Victory Road Wally, as far as I know, doesn't move after you beat him. Explanation please.

link 2012 yeah, that hit me right in the feels
@@dphillips not me. that made me want to kill a nigga
matt fahringer really...
I know everyone has commented this, but god damn. "Why would I sleep when my life has become better than my dreams" - that's deep as heck. Keep up the great work. I'm one of the many who joined over the past weeks and I'm working my way through-out your videos. Thanks for keeping me entertained, you're awesome! :)
I never believed that life could become better than your dreams, maybe I can give humanity another chance
The repeated use of “Earthquake uses Earthquake” and “used Earthquake on Earthquake” had me dying. It actually made me spill my water! Keep up the good work, I love your content!
Earthquake uses Eathquake gets hit by Earthquake and then Earthquake uses Earthquake and on and on and on
26:34 - 27:24 I’m so late to this vid somehow considering I’ve watched so many of your others but hearing this made me really pleased to be part of this community. You’ve earned all the success that’s come your way and I’m so happy for you. Congratulations.
It would be interesting to see a pickup challenge where you only use zigzagoon with pickup and only use items that come from pickup
are there not several key items you could not get from pickup and need to progress?
Guest Guest lol look 7:34
sketchi what do you mean
I'm a pretty new subscriber to the channel my dude but your explanation of why you do these challenges and what motivates you and how grateful you are really made me smile.
You seem awesome and I wish you every success with the channel, I'll be watching every Pokémon/DBZ video you put up!

This is really inspirational but also really depressing

“Why would I sleep when my life is better than my dreams?” That made me want to cry. A wonderful statement, Mah Dry Bread.
At 27 mins was the most wholesome thing I’ve ever heard in my life, keep up the awesome work man
Here's a comment to feed the almighty algorithm
Sporks And Forks thank you for your sacrifice
your comment will be remembered
They can’t stop us all
and ur the reason why im here my dear fellow
Your work paid off as I don't watch poke bids but this was recommended to me and I loved it

Put a band-aid on it, you'll be fine!

I find it funny that the algorithm recommened your channel after years of not watching Pokemon content. I clicked on an old Pikasprey video and it recommended your channel. I've been unable to log off in three days, I almost watched your entire challenge playlist. I'm a Gen 1/FR loyalist (I didn't play any other games yet), so your content is a gold mine to me. Subbed!
This dude's taking nuzlockes to a whole different level.
Not a nuzlocke he uses revives

Dude. That speech during the grinding part. You gave me the feels. Keep up the great work!
Dude your speech about your hard work earned you the sub! Keep it up homie!
Hey man! I know I comment a lot on your vids, but I'm happy to hear that you will be starting to take some time to recharge. Congrats on the 10 year record and it was amazing to hear some of your story and how you can now help everyone close to you. It really hit with me about how dedicated you are to the people you are closest with :)
Here's a comment for the YT algorithm hahaha
MAH BOY, why you gotta premiere me like that I clicked hoping for the video my man

Colin Lindsey well it would be impossible if he didn’t have sturdy because if he ran into something that was super effective he would have to one shot it or he’d be screwed
He’d have to out speed and one shot all of the fire elite four members team

Shuffled the Pokémon challenge playlist this weekend since MDB was too busy with catch-up work and landed on this one! And I’m glad I did too, this has always been an interesting concept for a challenge!
You deserve everything you have, actually you deserve more, that taking care of mom comment really got to me for some reason and you’ve motivated me for some odd reason, you’re killing it, keep up the good work!
I love your videos, and it was so touching to hear that you are able to pay off your debt and help out your mom! I'm amazed by your ideas and the strategy you put behind them to see them to the end. It's a win win
That Aggron VS Dusclops battle reminded me of that image where an Alakazam is fighting a Drowzee and the text reads: "Disable disabled the opponent's disable!"
Definitely MDB's best video. It's just so entertaining and a challenge that managed to be really hard without artificial roadblocks.
It’s pronounced Seal-ee-oh. This comment was made by the algorithm gang.
Lol and you calling it out in the comments still got a comment out of you. Call that a booze gamble
pooty and the jones yep, I have summoned the power of the algorithm gods to bless Mah-dry-bread. This reply was also made by the algorithm gang
I really love the fact that you named your Hariyama “Yokozuna.”
While I do love this name, there is one name I love more. I always call my female hariyama "hairy mama". It always makes me giggle.
"See-low"
*Rips off own ears*
Thank god it evolved eventually XD
see lee oh, i dont see why he had such a hard time saying it right.
also "pokeemon"
Is that pfp terraria.....? Or.....?
@RajunCajun34 oh sh... o_o
Scrolled down in the comments section for this one. I was kind of distracted tbh.
This guy SmallAnt called you out a little while back on this challenge about your PC use to get more Pokemon, so he did this run with only the first 6 mons he got in-game... But he used the move deleter and HMs for infinite pp. This run kicks ass. Love seeing these videos!!
@@SoRa-re1yd I used to beat pokemon games by just over-leveling my starter when I was younger. Having the option to get your level as high as you need it to overcome an obstacle is a much more powerful tool than being able to swap for type coverage. Being able to work around the PP limitation is way more useful than being able to change team members IMO
I Love your fossil joke, makes me Smile every Time ^^ - greetings from Germany
It makes me smile too
Sebastian Höfer btw greetings from Uranus

MahDryBread- Damn near 1 hit KOd me!
Pretty smart tactic to purposefully mispronounce pokemon names so more people would comment and thus the video having better chances to be picked up by the algorithm.
I never thought that would be the reason. 0_0
That's ingenious.
It worked lmao Im watching this now because its in my feed🤣
He did it with dragon ball "Zed" too, but on the TH-cam app you can reply without actually watching the video now
I'm genuinely not trying to say it wrong. I can't believe this is genuinely something people think When I want people to comment, I literally just ask like with the Fossil gag
That quote you gave in the middle of the video really adds depth and a different dimension, much respect man.
My one question: 24:12 Wally is at the beginning of Victory Road 34:35 Wally is at the end of Victory Road
Wally, as far as I know, doesn't move after you beat him. Explanation please.
