I discovered somewhere around the Houndour video that the more fun I'm having, the more it seems to come through in the videos. So I am actively messing with ideas and letting my crazy inner voice reign free :) FREE I TELLS YA!!
Gen I ormal type movesets were completely absurd, in a fun way (Tauros using water pulse is inherently amusing, to me). It's nice to see Tauros get some love out of its debut generation. Overall, this was a fun run. I felt like you explained everything you needed to (Bulbasaur/Venusaur for the rival, for example) to make the run interesting and informative. You did good work!
Gen 1 normal movesets were the best! Nothing says "I'm a plains living wild bull" like the ability to call down lightning from the sky or breathe fire. Tauros was a ton of fun to play I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Thanks for your support!
I dont think that is Gen 1 specific, Normal types through many generations later have the same move. This is just my theory, but its possible they give Normal types amazing coverage to compensate for no super effective coverage. Which ends up being useless on stuff like Tauros and Kanghaskhan that have bad Special Attack.
@@Eggsceptional I have a tabletop group I've been playing with for years 3 of them been playing with for over 20 years now we are currently playing the Pokemon united fan made game and planned for after we finish is the Dresden files game.
@@Dragonmaster0118 That's so cool!!! I haven't tried any Pokémon adaptations to TTRPGs that sounds like a lot of fun. I've DMed for a small group of friends but lately Pokémon and TH-cam have consumed my life so the story is on hold for a bit :)
Regarding Gengar's moveset I'd say that shadow ball and sludge bomb despite being physical would be almost competitive with thunderbolt and psychic. STAB is valuable.
You are correct! I've been trying lately to avoid falling into the "one stat is higher therefore better" way of thinking. With that being said, Gengars SpA doubles its Atk. I've been hurt pretty badly by her Ace Gengars Sludge Bomb since the Tauros runs :)
Ooooh I quite like that one. Please be patient with me for it though. I'm trying to save another Tauros playthrough until the 1 year anniversary of my Tauros video. It was my first Round 2 push and I'd like to see what a year of playing Pokémon taught me :) I've added it to the list thanks for the suggestion!
@@Eggsceptional understandable and yeah that would make for a good anniversary video. Hope you enjoy it even it eventually comes around then Eggsceptional. I absolutely adore your content
why did they not give you Bulk Up Tauros 🤷♀️ I didnt realize it was so mediocre. I personally wouldnt be against the use of other Pokemon to sponge Intimidate and die in 1 turn. I understand though 1 pokemon in the e4 is the established rule in this content lol.
I was confused by that too! I had such high hopes for Tauros because he's such a beast but felt so limited on a solo run. These runs would be so different with multiple Pokémon, or switching out to get rid of stat changes, avoid Intimidates like you said, confusion, etc. I've had some suggestions for team style challenges that I'll be exploring soon enough!
Tauros is like a bull in a china shop...except the china shop is a Pokemon gym and the bull is a raging, unstoppable force of nature! I just hope there aren't any delicate vases lying around! 🐂🏺😅
Pls keep having fun.
It's great to hear your confidence grow, sounds like you talk much more openly now.

Appreciation for the RATM reference and for the always anticipated alliteration
Alliteration always alleviates an acute need for fantastic fun :) I appreciate it. Thanks!
Great news, somehow I missed this one and your clefairy video during my mega binge :D
Great run as always!
Ahh Tauros. The first Round 2 completion on the channel. I'm looking forward to re running him a year later :)

You mean like how Diglette can use scratch? Hahaha! That silly little ground potato should have had headbutt instead!
@@ashlyneggum7372 Not Gen 1, but ice punch Wooper is also hilarious

I do love your D&D refrences
I have a run planned in the not-too-distant future with a Teddiursa/Ursaring that will be named Trinket. Let the references begin!

I think a vs video of Tauros and milktank will be a good one

@@victory8928 I appreciate it thanks for watching :) Miltank VS Tauros will absolutely be featured on the channel in the future!
the commentary really makes the video, nice!
.... because the gameplay certainly doesn't, imagine not saving 5 times just to make sure smh
This was only my 4th video. Ever! I've learned a lot since I've started making this content. Gotta learn to walk before you can run :)
@@Eggsceptional just joking here, it was a funny twist xD can't believe how good and professional it seems for the 4th video.
@@bavarian995 Yes, me. Professional 🙃. Eggsceptionally :P
eggcellent
Back at ya ;)

Tauros!
My first journey into Round 2 on the channel :)
Hi 😃
Good day! :)
Algorithm.
The algorithm appreciates you. So do I!
Dude get rid of sunny day
It is really not doing anything for you
Thunderbolt or ice beam would be much more useful
This was early days on the channel! I replayed Tauros a little over a year later and definitely saved some time :)
Hi :)
Good day!!!!

No worries! My Tauros was ADAMANT about only breaking what was necessary :)
You should include your adorable egg profile pic in your videos pls 🙏
I will try to include the little guy in more videos :)
