“This allows me to be level 69, which is nice because it means I don’t level up in the middle of the battle.” Just absolutely perfect scripting. I love it and appreciate it, Scott.
4:37 i would disagree you are past viridian forest already, great video as always, the differences between yellow and r/b are so interesting to see with every pokemon
Scott: Always complains about the Agetha Lottery
Also Scott: "I wish Agetha was coded to be harder"
Give me more suffering!!!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon Lol, I had to rewind when i heard that the first time! Keep up the awesome vids man.
I like the *idea* of Krabby, but just...what was the rationale when they designed it? "Okay, here's a special type with special weaknesses, so let's give him trash special. He has lackluster speed, so let's give him Stomp and Guillotine." The tools are there, but none work together lol.
Yeah, it’s really weird…
Five to fix Krabby's base stats.
HP is 30, I'd make it 50.
Attack is 105, I'd leave that as is.
Defense is 90, I'd leave that as is.
Special is 25, I'd make it 50.
Speed is 50, I'd make it 60.
This explains why I hated Krabby so much… I tried to make it a special attacker…
Time for crab!
Crab time!
In your follow up playtrough, how does krabby level to 50 at Sabrina and then is level 49 in giovannis gym after?
We recreated broll with footage from the first run.
My question is why not use mimic lick to beat the ghosts and then use blizzard against aerodactyl?
Mimicking lick means you have to setup all swords dances and while you do it Gengar can nesss you up with mega drain and confuse ray. Attempting the two hit with Crabhammer was more reliable when I tested it.
Can a bubble speed drop plus gillitene have any use?
Technically it can work. But guillotine has 30% accuracy. The accuracy is not dynamic in gen1.
Would love to see a Race between Krabby and Corphish some day.
Saltwater Crustacean Gang vs Freshwater Crustacean Gang
could see that happening in firered not too far in the future (:
@@Lurker504 That was exactly my thought too! :))
Yes!! We need this CRAB BATTLE
@@DSXtreme09 corphish is a lobster
Your editor is great by editing out those battles. Giving krabby access to dig would make it a lot better since it would also make Surge more reliable
Yup. Dig would really help!
8:24 You mentioned "The Hiker" and I was momentarily genuinely confused because there was no way we were fighting Bruno already.
I've never played gen 1 or gen 2 but your videos are so addictive 😂
To me, this seems like high praise because I thought these videos were exclusively fueled with nostalgia.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon nope! :) ive never played gen 1 or 2 as I've never had an interest but your videos are very entertaining
Well worth the play. Very addictive. Gen 2 even more so imo
same! i honestly could never get into anything before the physical/special split because it feels a little limiting sometimes, but i love these videos a lot! they're really entertaining!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemonmy first games were heartgold/soulsilver so crystal is pretty familiar but even now i haven't gone back to gen1/2. your videos are super fun even without nostalgia
I love how Krabbys base attack is so hilariously high, even above some legendaries 😄
Also Krabby and Kingler have always been a Favorite of mine, Krabby is cuter than puppies, Krabhammer sounds awesome and Guillotine just feels OP when it Hits 💪
It does make sense that Mewtwo wouldn’t have the best attack though, a psychic type doesn’t seem like it’d be that good a physical attacker, and Dragonite definitely makes sense for a number 1
OMG IT'S KRABBY!!!!! Im very excited, I have so much sentimental attachment to this little crab. Krabby, along with Kingler, were my original favorite pokemon and are the reason crabs are my favorite animal. I remember watching an episode of the anime where professor Oak was showing ash's Krabby compared to Gary's Krabby, And I thought that Gary caught the absolute coolest giant crab boi ever. I paused the VHS of the episode for like a hour to draw the Krabby. I also remember loving looking at the art for Krabby and Kingler from the old pokemon TCG sets. The only issue I have with Krabby and Kingler is that they don't have the full 6 legs that real crabs would (they have 4), and i remember the moment I found that out last year when I was playing Pokemon go and was wondering where the set of legs went in the in game model. The missing legs bug me, but I can't hate Krabby for it, they are just such a good crab and I love them
It's awesome that you love Krabby so much. For me it's one I rarely remember when I'm thinking about gen1 Pokemon. However, after this playthrough it earned a place in my heart. Especially because of how strange its stats are. It's a really unique water-type in gen1.
That's so cute, I love your love for Krabby! =3
I think to make Koga a little more consistent, potentially having Krabby be poisoned can prevent Sleep Powder and gives more Swords Dance setup. Also, how did you feel about Mimic? I think there’s certain areas like Giovanni with Double Team, and Agatha with Substitute that it would be useful. Ice Beam seemed to not be doing anything in that section.
I actually think the skipped trainer battle animations in the overworld is a pretty smart idea. Firstly you avoid talking about battles that don't matter, but we also get to see what trainers you gain exp on. Win win. As always, another awesome video bro, I can't wait to see you do a jigglipuff/wigglituff vs clefairy/clefable run if you've got any plans for that?
I did Wigglytuff vs. Clefable in early 2022. Check it out!
FAQ: Why not mimic Lick against Agatha? Wouldn't that be more consistent than using Crabhammer?
I've replied to a lot of your comments already regarding this. Here is the summary of these replies: when filming the video I ran damage ranges for Lick. Even with full Swords Dance setup it maxes out at 90% chance to OHKO the Gengars because if Krabby gets a crit it doesn't do enough damage. Plus, setting up with Swords Dance increases the damage confusion deals and having to spend 1 turn mimicking, 1-3 turns setting up means the first Gengar is likely to use Mega Drain and Confuse Ray. Both of these scenarios do not feel good. Also, losing a battle after setup feels pretty bad because the setup times valuable time.
Okay, so that brings us to when I'm writing this comment. I've thought about this scenario more. Either way, Agatha is going to be fairly brutal. Here are the different options at lv68 (with my exact amount of stat experience, these numbers are pulled directly from RBY XP Router from the route file I recorded during my second playthrough):
1) Crabhammer. 60% chance to 2hit Gengar1, 95% chance to 2hit Haunter, 3hit Gengar2.
2) Mimic Lick, setup once. All ghosts are two hits. This will take either the same number of turns, or 1 more turn than option 1. Because Swords Dance boosts attack, confusion will be more deadly.
3) Mimic Lick, setup twice. 90% one hit Gengar1, 99% haunter, 90% Gengar2. This only saves 1 turn when compared with the ideal outcome of the Crabhammer strategy. However, because Crabhammer lacks accuracy and guarenteed crits, this strategy might feel better. However, confusion will be even more deadly.
4) Mimic Lick, setup three times, unchanged from 2 turns of setup due to Krabby's crit rate with Lick. As crits bypass beneficial stat changes it can't exceed a 90% chance to OHKO the Gengars (when at this level).
5) Ice Beam - this strategy is luck based. Hope for a freeze on the first Gengar. This allows you to setup mimic and setup for free. I think this is the worst way to go, because if you don't get the freeze then you just wasted a turn that could have contributed to your setup.
Of the lick strategies. 2 turns of setup is the best.
I think on review I'd probably use the 2 turn Lick strategy if I did this playthrough again. Originally I wrote it off because I couldn't get the KO chance to 100%. I think I was also slightly biased towards finding a use for Crabhammer when filming this. After all, a move with the name Crabhammer just has way too much style to be ignored. Thanks for commenting about this! You motivated me to dig a bit deeper.
Finally my favorite gen 1 line. Kingler would be a monster in a single mon run. Starts with vicegrip.
Kingler will be really fun when I get to it!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon Can't wait for to see it! Kingler is one of my all-time favorites!
Crabhammer power!! And I LOVE the edits with you just walking through routes without watching the battles. Not getting sick of it at all
Hey kinda long, but I know you read everything 😉
So your content is absolutely amazing. What you did with coding and the overlay is unseen anywhere on youtube pokemon vids. It is very impressive, even more since you didnt know how to code. It enhances the video's to a different level.
Yours skills and presentation is top notch, the games are kinda the thing that holds some video's back. This is my opinion, but hear me out:
Pokemon yellow is absolutely amazing. It is fast paced, and there are like 10.000 different routs to take in the midgame, from surge to blain, including when to do rival 5. This makes it great to watch, strategy has to be come up with. Pokemon red and blue are far inferior. The moveset and teams of major battles are just plain bad. Makes for far less good vids.
Crystal is a great game, but the lvl curve is just bad. Makes the vids less good.
Emerald is to long to fully optimize, makes the vids less good.
Dont get me wrong, I enjoy all your vids with a passion, but your absolute best vids are on yellow, because the game is so incredible.
Just wanted to say this, keep up the work, you make amazing vids, you truly deserve all the succes!
Yeah, Yellow is awesome. I agree that it makes the best story and pacing. Crystal has been more interesting for me not using hidden power and playing with first stage mons. Emerald will be awesome when all the tech gets finished. But we still have along way to go before the behind the scenes is as robust as gen1 & 2 are.
Wow, I didn’t realize how lopsided Krabby’s stats were! The accuracy thing was crazy too, gen 1 is filled with weird stuff
Love the little stage modifiers on enemy pokemon in the overlay. Looks great Scott!
Had to make it more visually apparent when something had changed.
Krabby is an interesting fella; memorable for it's battle cry (cool in both the game and the anime) and a Water type designed to hit hard... physically... before the attack/special split. Aside from Bubbling Brock's 4x weak Pokémon, I don't think we will see much of the crab's water typing at play here.
0:32 - You also get to see one of the greatest back-sprites in all of Pokémon. His pincers are up in the air because he's having so much fun and his thin horns look like long little eyes.
5:10 - Your luck here has been incredible. So many doomsday scenarios of poison and wrapping but your Crab (missed opportunity to name him Cookie) prevailed. Getting that first physical attack is going to be a glorious moment.
8:31 - I was thinking that grinding against any available Geodude would be a smart play. Anything that gets you closer to learning Vicegrip as soon as possible should help a ton for the Krabby run (a shame it can't learn that Mega Punch TM).
11:52 - Awww, Crab the Krabby is so happy. An hey; Crab also is good at tanking physical hits as well thanks to it's strong Defence and lack of weaknesses to physical types.
14:42 - The funny thing with the edited out battles is how it looks like these trainers challenge you to a battle, you mention that your Krabby has Vicegrip and they just give up without battling you.
20:28 - This Eevee barely hanging on is becoming a bit of a recurring thing at this point. Rather impressive. I'm surprised that Lavender Tower didn't cause more issues for you given you had to rely on Special moves for the entire ascent.
24:41 - The leader of Kanto's largest criminal organisation and the 8th gym leader, folks.
30:06 - I can't believe you managed to hit with that either. After two accuracy drops, I was certain this was going to be another reset. I was expecting the strategy to win would require a single Swords Dance to be performed to 1-hit Alakazam but luck was on your side.
38:54 - I've been curious about this, not so much in a Surf vs Crabhammer scenario but why you have a special move at all (or at least one which doesn't have a secondary status effect like Ice Beam). I like Crabhammer conceptually but Krabby's low Special made me think it would be useless here. I see the reasoning is Crabhammer's increased crit chance... combined with a lower accuracy, you were really gambling with this move.
45:35 - Crab succeeds even whilst poisoned; congrats to the crab champion!
48:19 - I suppose the best change to make is to try and memorise any opponents that use those 4x weak Rock/Ground Pokémon. Due to them all having low Special stats, they provide a quick EXP gain for Krabby.
50:47 - Fantastic to see the strategy for Sabrina is exactly the same as I thought it would be. Also, maybe casting two Reflects is a trend spreading around the Kanto region.
Pleasantly surprised by how well this little cookie obsessed crab did.
Gotta pick the ancient crab fossil in a Krabby only run! Thanks for giving the happy little crustacean the spotlight!
25:43 scott, if you ever get bored during coding... make the game show a random typing for venomoth on the enemy pokemon team lol
Spending 9 minutes in Agathas chamber is 7 more than Oak ever managed to last.
If you know what I mean.
Which you do.
So I’ll see myself out.
Thanks.
Missed opportunity to break open the cloysters and shellders shells with crabhammer. Ash did this in the Indigo pokemon league with his Kingler to defeat a Cloyster :D
Also a request, if there are any interesting or signature moves, then can you show the attack animation once?
Krabby/Kingler is one of those Gen-1 Pokémon I've thought about how to tweak. Firstly, I'd have made it a Water/Bug, as I feel like anything with an exoskeleton should qualify and it would have been a unique combination at the time which would have helped Krabby/Kingler stand out more. Secondly, because Vice Grip is a shared only by Krabby/Kingler and Pinser, I would have made that move Bug-type as well, giving both Pokémon a physical STAB option.
95 more pokemon to go before you complete all of gen 1. Make sure to mention it when you get to pokemon 75/76 so we know its halfway point
Karbby's unique stats were really making that run very challenging for it, almost as if gen 4's physical special split were really needed to make it shine. 😅But hey, at least crab hammer was really useful. 😊
The mid game and especially with Agatha, made me realise karbby belongs into the bad special stat club , along with Hitmonchan, Ryhdon, and most of the rock types in this gen. But regardless rng was really on your side with that early freeze, without it I think that the optimised run would have had almost the same results(and then you would probably have done a third playthrough, to make sure it would get the best results.) 😊
Karrby is really proud of you, for giving it the best results it could have. Keep it up! 👏👏👏
9:18 - Hate it when I get put to sleep and then they start pounding away, especially in Bill's house 😢
"Being put to sleep, frozen, caught in a move like Wrap, or flinched will delay Bide’s duration, but not interrupt it."
Interesting
Bide is so weird
Can't wait for the ditto run 😈
I promised in the last live stream that I would start commenting, so here we go! I always loved the little crab, but mostly because of the anime, he has the best voice in the entire series.
You did it! Thanks for the comment.
Krabby's cry is so unique for a gen 1 Pokémon. It sounds like a crab monster with frothy bubbles on it's map.
Krabby and Kingler are the best HM users of the game, since they learn both cut, strength and surf. The only other mons that can learn those three are Mew (which isn't obtainable) and Lickitung (which is very hard to obtain)
Yup! They really are. If only you could get them a bit earlier.
My fav pokemon ligne thanks for give him a chance 🎉🎉🎉
Good ole Gamefreak putting mons at a disadvantage by not letting them learn anything to take advantage of their best stat from the getgo yet again. Poor Krabby. It could've been back of the C tier if it just learned Vicegrip at level 12 like it does in gen 2 and could learn the Dig TM like it can in gen 2 too.
At least Kingler starts with Vicegrip!
hello person scrolling by, hope you have a good rest of your day.
I love these comments :)
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon no u
I’ve been playing Red and Blue on 3ds for my living dex, and I still have no idea where Krabby is, I’m almost done with the second playthrough 😵💫
This is one of my favorite channels, and I’m excited to see how different Krabby is before gen four, the only games where I’ve used it (to great success)!
Edit: I have found Krabby (and also a second one for Kingler) at the bottom of the SeaFoam islands!
Pretty sure it shows up in the Seafoam islands
I don't remember the routes very well, but try fishing with a great or super rod, usually find a Krabby with that method before Sea Foam Islands
The gen 1 OHKO move aren't actually a fixed 30%. They start at 30, but unlike other generations that have the hit rate go up 1% for every level above the opposing pokemon you are, gen 1 has an increased 1% to hit for every speed point higher you are then the opposing pokemon
You got it mixed up. OHKO moves function like you mentioned now. In gen1 they have a fixed 30% accuracy. Starting in generation 3 their accuracy is deteremined dynamically like you mentioned. Source: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/One-hit_knockout_move
Scott! I challenge you to recreate this challenge with a twist!
I think you already know (Or maybe even already have done it in a stream), but Krabby doesn't need any aditional HM mule to beat the game, as it learns all necessary HMs
The challenge is set then! You must complete the game with a Krabby exclussively using the HM moves it learns (You can choose to have a flier or not tho, I do not mind, and you can also choose if you want to use the last move slot or not)
Whether you wanna do it or not, I'll enjoy the next video just as much. Keep up the good content!
I want to do a variation of this idea. Lickitung can also complete the game with the HMs. Also Mew. So I think I should race them and see which one is the best and which is the worst! (Of course I'd have to let Krabby evolve!)
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon Haha! Well, I didn't know of lickitung. The more I know, it seems you are ahead of all of us with ideas lmao
Three for Denis.
Four for Denis
Being waiting for this 🙂
I love the overlay upgrades!!!! You've come so far.
Also love the channel artists giving the Pokémon a little character and attitude when responding to your narration.
Sarina is killing it!
I really like the edit with the overworld trainers, its nice to see who you fight without having to watch the fights! Also, SO GLAD ITS CRABBIN TIME with Krabby!
I think the tier list for fully evolved pkmn and not fully evolved pkmn should be separate.
I disagree. By doing this we don’t see just how dominant Pokémon like Poliwag and Bellsprout are when compared with fully evolved Pokémon like Arcanine. I will separate them in the final analysis to provide more evolution-stage specifics, but I prefer seeing the global context week to week.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon ah i see. Thanks!
Does Oak actually say "Darn Magikarp" or is that something your rom hack did?
My rom hack haha
@ScottsThoughtsPokemon You got my hopes up, man. I was hoping that the would-be final battle would end with such a derailing line
Thank you for bringing back the prof. Oak challenge at the end!
It's been one of my favorite staples of your series
I got my Old Bay, I got my butter knife, and I have my CRABHAMMER!
Nutcrackers are for wimps :P (I am totally kidding, everyone; Baltimore natives will get the fight when it comes to blue crabs)
Before watching:
Since I once tried a „one pkm only challange“ (without any HM slaves, meaning I had to pick a pkm that could use all necessary HMs) with Krabby once I actually know that the beginning will be worse than one would think. The really low special and Krabby‘s reliance on Bubble and Watergun makes the regular trainers quite a slog. Normal attacks are actually a lot better with Krabby due to its insane attack stat.
Later on, Krabby will really pick up speed when he can learn Swordsdance, which will boost attack even more and allow it to use the badge boost glitch. At that point the only problem will be the Ghost pokemon, since Krabby has no coverage except Water moves, which even late game won‘t be great. I think it will be upper middle tier.
After watching:
The fact that Krabby has absolutely no physical coverage really screws it over badly. You have to use Water attacks for the Ghosts and Rock types and although I remembered Krabby‘s special to be bad, I forgot HOW bad it was.
I also failed to take into account how much of a problem low speed with low special and low HP can be. You just have to eat a lot of special damage that way, which makes it more tricky than I expected. And Agatha was a lot tougher than I thought, even though I saw the Ghost-problem coming.
That‘s why Krabby did a lot worse than I thought. Lower mid-tier is still pretty good, but with that attack stat I thought it could keep up with some of the better first-stage pokemon.
Am I the only one who thinks Ratatta's eyes in their Yellow sprite are absolutely creepy??
Thank you Scott! Wanted to see a krabby run for a while
I’ve always wondered why Krabby goes “kuuki kuuki” in the anime. It’s a great sound, and I love that it, like a real crab, constantly spews a bubbly foam, and loves to scuttle about. But why kuuki kuuki? What a weird little guy
Krabby is great, Kingler however, I've used on a few of my major teams. That crustacean comes in like a wrecking ball, especially after the physical/special split.
*Edit. Sorry for the mental image of Kingler swinging like Miley Cyrus Scott.
Naming recomandations, huh?
'Lightspeed' trainer in Brock's Gym: Buzz. It has to be. XD
And for the Channeler I would prefer Angie, because it sounds like RNG. ;p
Krabby: The cutest of crab pokemon! Also you should see it over world sprite in Hartgold/soulsilver! It's adorable! Oh! That make a fun tier list video! Best Haertgold/Soulsilver over world sprites!
Hey Scott! Hope you and fiancé are doing well.
Sorry I'm late to this one but I'm looking forward to it. I can't sleep tonight I'm grabbing a snack and diving into this.
Thanks for all you do, be happy and healthy friendo.
Been watching your videos and I think they're great! I have tons of nastolgia and a great story of events leading up to an epic Christmas in 99. But what I'm really impressed with is your program displaying the stats, types, splits ect. You've inspired me to get study CSS and JavaScript to mess around with that mapper program.
for the Koga fight, is there a reason why you're not trying to RNG The freeze for a setup on the opening Venonat?
if you're using BodySlam for the potential to avoid SleepPowder due to paralysis anyway, why not the freeze option with ice beam instead
edit: loool, literally posted this before you got the Sabrina badge (with run 1), and was proven right about a minute later
I didn't really use the krabby line during gen 1, but for a long time I would always catch a pokemon with the good rod once I got to Olivine city in gen 2. If I had caught a mareep earlier on then I would almost always catch and use a krabby. If I didn't catch a mareep I would often catch a chinchou. Later on I discovered the remoraid in the lake past Mahogany town and I would often use that instead due to its interesting moveset that I thought was really cool. I haven't used the krabby line much since then, but I always thought it was cool. I should use it again some time.
Krabby is pretty cool because it can beat the game without the aid of any additional teammates. It learns the three necessary HM's: Cut, Surf, and Strength. This is a pretty fun run to attempt, to see how low of a level it can be done at. Of course, the end of that run depends on having good luck against Agatha.
Eye luv hao Crabbee winz a number of these fights simply because the opponent throws. (Sorry, I couldn't stand any more poor spelling)
I recently rewatched an older video where you said you were looking forward to playing with Krabby. What a coincidence! Let's see of Crabhammer gets any use...
So i took my kid to the park while watching and turned on close captions so i could understand without hearing. It replaced every instance of "body slam" with "body slime" did not need to visualize scott talking about his body slime 🤣🤣
41:36 NOW LOOK AT THE CLAWK
I am so glad kingler became good with the physical special split. This evo line has such simple but great designs, plus the gigantamax references spider crabs which are some of my favorite underwater creatures.
Regarding the channelers name, I'd vote for Christie. Agatha Christie, you know. Makes you seem smarter, too :3
"But I'm not out of the woods yet."
You literally are, though.
(Well, okay, it's a "forest", but I'm counting it!)
Krabby looks so smug in its happy art here. I think it has something to do with how its eyes look. XD
I just love all the artwork and everything. I actually started watching you when you had around 5k subscribes only because you use the old sprites in the league. :D
When I clicked on this vid, I thought it would be just a tiny bit above Seel. Not through yet, so lets see if thats true.
you know, i got busy with life, and apparently youtube unsubbed me again from your channel.
commenting otherwise simply to say that krabby is something i tried routing the speedrun for once, so this'll be interesting to see.
Hmm Krabby.. Well Krabby can learn Harden so that is a pretty decent badge boost glitch. I would be surprised if Krabby did terrible.
For some reason I always like that Pokemon both of them Pokemon I'm pretty strong I like how they both have swords dance
So excited Krabby is the greatest pokemon of all time. I took a Krabby through the elite 4 in my original blue play through
He's mentioned in a stream how many people lost their minds when he didn't teach surf to Starmie. I wonder if the same thing happened with this one too 🤔 lol
Always surprises me when I learn about a move in one of your videos. Either I forgot or never heard of vicegrip somehow.
Venomoth wanted to be a grass / electric type for this playthrough.
Watching this video made me hungry. The backsprite looks like an actual normal crab.
I think a good idea would be to get some special boosting vitamin inb4 Koga to improve your consistency.
crabhammer over body slam, in the first run, would be a game changer. i love the fact that you always go twice
Ahhh my funky lil crab boy! I don't know why I love him so much, but it makes this run a treat!
Ah, Krabby, the Cranidos of Gen 1. Some would say “it’s not too shabby.”
With the graphics for koga seeing the venonats appear then venomoth made me think koga is moth man. Nata nata nata moth man! Maybe he’s a poor man’s Batman. 😂
Yeah the attack base is pretty darn good for a base Pokemon too.. can Krabby learn Swords Dance ?
"So I want to prepare as much as _clawssible."_
"I don't want to give it a _machance."_
You sea, Krabby was a shell of its former self, but this time it was victorious and had the long claw of the law.
Koo kee koo kee
"Clefairy used sing and put me to sleep and started pounding away" - Lets keep it PG Scott
I really like Krabby. I know its not the best in gen 1 but I still appreciate it.
I believe Crabhammer was designed with a high Base Power to _compensate for_ Krabby/Kingler not being great special attackers and Water type moves all being special. The move was only going to be used by these two anyway, so why not?
Later gens' power creep meant that it becoming a physical attack still didn't hurt any sort of balance to retain its high base power, but only helped the crabs who get to learn it a bit more in being like, any good at all.
I'm of the firm opinion that Vicegrip should have been a Bug type move, and the Krabby line should have been Water/Bug instead of pure Water. Think about what monsters use Vicegrip in Gen 1 - Pinsir, Krabby, and Kingler. Clearly it's "buggy pincers pinch really hard, the move".
Ooooo a bug-type vicegrip is an awesome idea! Especially for Pinsir.
Second member of the league has to wait - up first is this hiker" absolutely threw me! 😂
I think as a touch of flair, and nod to the animators, perhaps show the animation of signature moves when they come up? Crabhammer, waterfall, etc. I know it is a speed playthrough, just would be cool to see the original animation. I didn't even know Krabby had a unique move when I played Gen 1 back in the day! Lastly, my 9 year old requests the Kingler's run be MrKrabs! Love the content Scott, you're amazing!
Yeah I should show of unique animations. I can cut it in as broll. Good idea.
Hey Scott ❤
Awesome video! I loved seeing the exclamation points pop up and then you just moving on.
Good evening to all crab enjoyers.
