Yoooo dude! Grats on 100+ subscribers. I think I was your 14th or something on my other account. You are coming out the gate real strong. Good job mang!
I appreciate you, my dude! Definitely recognize your other account :) Thank you!!! I had a random moment late last evening realizing what time it was and how much fun I'm having doing this..
I love your channel! I'm so glad the algorithm blessed me with it because you have taught me so much about pokemon in such a short time and your videos are very well put-together, especially for a small channel! Please please please keep it up and I'm excited to see where things go from here!
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the content! Welcome :) I'm just trying to put together content that I enjoy watching. It's so rewarding to know that others love it too. I'm also glad I can be teaching you things about this game! I've certainly learned a ton from my audience :)
Hey @kangaskdan ! I hope your time away left you feeling a bit more refreshed and ready for what's next :) Thanks for taking the time to catch up on my vids. I hope you enjoy them!
Praise your videos, kind sir. I'm doing the battle frontier in Pokemon emerald and I was in a stall fest battle with a leftovers double teaming shuckle for quite literally over a half hour. My dragonite also had leftovers and no accuracy by pass moves. All I could do was hope. Your videos kept me from losing my mind and my win streak.
That's some next level pain! I just don't have the heart to check out the Battle Frontier, all the power to you for tackling that challenge. I'm glad that I could at least act as a cheerleader? Distraction? Distraction leader! From the sidelines :D
@Eggsceptional i do the battle frontier solely for the move tutors. And the longer your streak, the more bp you get to buy the moves from them. I personally don't find the frontier particularly fun. but oh god, was that battle hell. All I could do was hope I got enough luck to hit enough times before leftovers healed the dmub thing again. I ha e a new found hatred for Shuckle after that battle. Not gonna lie.
@@ilovegarradors I can understand the hatred for Shuckle :P Did you eventually get to the point where you were using Struggle to try to win? What a brutal outcome.
This feels like an alternate universe Scotts' Thoughts. I don't mean this as an insult or anything, but the style of video, and the way it's edited, the layout, and even the script just feels a lot like his videos. And well, I love his videos, so I love this.
That isn't an insult at all! I've been wanting to make my own content for many, many years. After 2 years of watching Scott's Thoughts, his more recent 50k Mew Q&A video inspired me to finally take a shot at it! I appreciate your kind words :)
Congratulations on reaching over 100 subs (almost 150!!!). I feel like last time I looked, you were at 87, 88-ish. Seriously, congratulations :) I hope to see you continue to grow :) As soon as you mentioned accuracy strats, I knew--Sand Veil. An ability that gets you enemies in Smogon Singles. It's a shame you don't have an opinion on the fossils--the Dome Fossil is clearly superior. Ever since watching the Kabutops rampage through the city in the Latios/Latias movie, it's been my favorite fossil Pokemon. The "Over and Over" reference caught me OFF GUARD. Man, I loved Three Days Grace as a kid and teen. I'm very proud you avoided the temptation of Sub Strats, Best Strats for the first playthrough's League Round 1. But sub strats are too powerful. Very fun video overall! Cacturne is definitely better off than Sharpedo and Crawdaunt, two dual special-type mons with much higher attack stats. I always forget its attack and sp. atk are equal. It was also nice to see a dark type go through Kanto--an easy Sabrina and Agatha are always fun to see. The time save was really cool to see between Playthrough 1 and 2.
And now up to 163 overnight! It's actually blowing my mind. I've never run a Pokémon with Sand Veil before it was fun but just not as good as Substitute. This was one of those runs where all I wanted in the world was a 5th move slot. I'll do a VS video of Omastar vs Kabuto at some point but I don't know which I like more because I haven't played with either since the 90s in Pokémon Blue 😅 As always, glad you enjoyed the run. Thanks for the support :)
@@Eggsceptional I’m sure it does, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that after I watched my first video I was SHOCKED to find out you only had 1ishk!!! The quality of your videos rivals that of Scott, Jrose, SilphSpectre, mahdrybread, AntlerboyLIVE , etc. you’ll get there in no time. And I’m glad to be here in the beginning. Perfect videos to watch alongside playing rom hacks :)
@@yungruuku I'm glad that you're enjoying them so much :) I appreciate you saying that my quality rivals such big names in the Poké community. And I'm just getting started still it feels! I've had some fun comments saying "putting my digital fingerprint to show I was here before "x" subs". Such a cool feeling :)
I'm glad you like them! I've been working on building more resources to have a bit more fun with the data I'm collecting. Of course it's all subjective and this is all just for fun... but fun it is :)
I suppose I could have leaned more into evasion strats since I was using them anyway. I always feel so bleh about Double Team. I feel likes an "I win" button. There are no shortage of questions to answer in these games though - that much is a fact!
Eggcellent as always sir. I love Cacturne and Pokemon like it, Gen 3 gave us some very fun mixed attacking glass cannons like it. despite the moveset limitations Cacturne has, you did awesome, surprised your didn't go for a HP on it, but with the necessity of Growth and its STAB moves, there wasn't much room for more on there, HP Water might of been good, it would of handled the Fire types and Steel types a bit better, Dark and Grass are good, but so easily walled.
I had considered HP Water quite heavily. Not just for E4 but also Blaine. The recovery and STAB of Giga Drain was too good while Faint Attack rounded out my type coverage... mostly :) thanks!!
Found this video in the algorithm and thought this channel had more subs while watching it but nope so here's my and sub and keep up with the high quality videos
I just found your channel two days ago And binge watch pretty much all of it. I've been so sick that I almost had to go to the hospital but your vids kept my spirit up love your channle man thank you also I don't know if you take request or not but id love to see a aridos vs beedrill run i think that could be fun also is there a reason you only do fire red amd leaf green?
Oh no! I hope that you recover soon! I'm so happy to hear that my videos have helped you through your struggle. I've added Ariados and Beedrill to the list :) Please be patient with me though... these videos take a lot to produce. FireRed is my favourite Pokémon game! Any time I found another creator doing FireRed they rarely, if ever, pursued a Round 2 finish. I feel that not completing Round 2 is not completing the game. It's like running Gen 2 without the Red battle! I've stuck with FR for so long because of hardware limitations, and not much motivation to go into previous generations. I'm currently learning SoulSilver and plan to start making solo runs for that game as well in 2024. Thanks!
@Eggsceptional awesome man and yea I'll be fine something I'm born with so I'm kinda used to it lol hoping for your channel to grow cuz I tell how much work you put into it man
@@114bleachfan I appreciate that! I'm so happy the hard work shows through :) I have so many plans for the future. Thanks for being a part of the journey!
I enjoyed trying not to use it, but I'm finding in more and more runs that the solution is either Substitute or level up. I'll take the former every time.
Poor Chikorita... I love the design of it. It's easily one of the cutest Pokémon ever. As a kid, though, I played through Gold with it once. Ever. Terrible :(
Like so many other Pokémon I'm excited to use Chikorita as an adult. I've always wanted to use the Johto/Hoenn starters in Kanto and haven't yet. One challenge at a time, right? :)
Over 100 subs already!? You had a massive jump this last week. Huge congrats 🎉
It's blowing my mind! Thanks for your support :)
Yes, congratulations! You clearly put a lot of work into your videos!
Yoooo dude! Grats on 100+ subscribers. I think I was your 14th or something on my other account. You are coming out the gate real strong. Good job mang!
The other account. Commenting for algorithm hustle. 😂
I appreciate you, my dude! Definitely recognize your other account :)
Thank you!!! I had a random moment late last evening realizing what time it was and how much fun I'm having doing this..
I love cacturne, such a shame after gen 3 they didn't use them and was forgotten
I know right? Such an interesting design for a Pokémon it's a shame to see it neglected.
Should of got a mega
@@Jhizzle2495I think an evo would be good, because I doubt that megas will come back
congrats on 151 subscribers- now you have enough to fill the original kanto pokédex! you've earned it!
That's actually a super cool thought. I was thinking about (as of right now) 163 people in the room with me. Wild!
Thanks :)

Thank you!! I appreciate you saying that :) work hard, and take it one step at a time right?
just subscribed and i only subscribe to one other channel… guy is a legend in my book.
Glad to have earned the second spot :) thanks!
Dang brotato chip, this is some top shelf content already! Can't wait to see what you do as you grow!

4:14 that 3DG caught me off guard hahaha
Sometimes I can't help it! It just comes out of me :)
@@Eggsceptional i Love these references ;)
@@thedancingguy828 I try not to force them, but there will be plenty more in the future :)
Bro I can’t wait to see your sub count over 100k. You deserve it so much!
Thank you so much! I'm stoked to be over 1.4k now. Two factors of ten higher seems like a distant dream right now :)

I'm glad you like them! I've been working on building more resources to have a bit more fun with the data I'm collecting. Of course it's all subjective and this is all just for fun... but fun it is :)
Lmao the glasses on cacturne at 10:34 caught me off guard 😂
It was subtle! I was worried that it was too subtle to be noticeable. I'm happy you caught it :)
I cant help but wonder what using double team with sand viel would have looked like. Great video.

@@Eggsceptional you found a moveset that works and stuck with it, couldn't ask for more from a run with any Pokemon
Miss your Poke runs man. Hope all has been well my friend.
I have been! Super burned out with Pokémon still. I'm exploring other content atm :)
Found this video in the algorithm and thought this channel had more subs while watching it but nope so here's my and sub and keep up with the high quality videos
Thank you for your support! My goal is to maintain and increase my quality over time :)
@@Eggsceptional well your videos fooled me into believing you were a bigger TH-camr just based on the quality so you should grow pretty fast
Honestly, the growth I've already experienced has far surpassed my expectations. I appreciate it :)
Is the next pokemon ampharos? beckon sounds beacon and ampharos is basically a beacon and on the bulkier side.
I like the way you're thinking! I've been interested in an Ampharos run for a while now. Love that Pokémon! But no spoilers today I'm afraid ;)
I have random unreasonable favorites and the Cacnea line is one of them
There's no such thing as an unreasonable favourite! I can't remember why I chose Cacnea I was just drawn it to at the time

Thank you!!
Great videos
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them :)
Great video! Really appreciate you skipping the substitute strategy. XD Def prefer the challenge of not using it.
I enjoyed trying not to use it, but I'm finding in more and more runs that the solution is either Substitute or level up. I'll take the former every time.
Nice video this is a cool channel
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Canturn honestly needs an evolution as its not very good on it's own
I think it had some unique situational use, but as a solo Pokémon it definitely felt held back.
GIVE US SHARPEDO! PLEASE! Not a single video on it. I wanna see him destroy!
I've added it to the list :) Just be patient with me, please. I've had a small mountain of requests. Thanks!
@@Eggsceptional no worries, thanks for doing Cacturne. Him and Sharpedo are my favourites in gen 3 to use :) So I’m excited to see them here
@@olavjorvik94 My pleasure! A quick look over Sharpedo makes me think that it's going to be a fantastically fun run for me. Stay tuned :)
ALGORITHM
Thanks!! :)
Grass being so useful in Kanto is why Chikorita sucks in Johto. :(
Poor Chikorita... I love the design of it. It's easily one of the cutest Pokémon ever. As a kid, though, I played through Gold with it once. Ever. Terrible :(
@@Eggsceptional I think it does okay in Kanto and Hoenn though so that’s a plus
Like so many other Pokémon I'm excited to use Chikorita as an adult. I've always wanted to use the Johto/Hoenn starters in Kanto and haven't yet. One challenge at a time, right? :)
A combination of Scott and Silph as one channel? Shut up and take my sub.
Also if you take suggestions, I'd love to see a full team metronome only run. Or a solo metronome only run. I'm not picky lol
I mean, if you insist :)
Metronome... excuse me while I shudder. I'll add it to the list, but be patient with me please :)
@@Eggsceptional of course. I'm here for the long term. Enjoying what you are putting out so far!
