Nothing could've prepared me for that Ghetsis pronunciation Altho, considering that as a kid when I played I thought it was pronounced "G-het-sis" (ie, no silent h), I guess I was just as bad 😅
@@Kaiwala the name is based on the musical interval g → c# ("cis"), also known as the "tritone" interval. It also seems to have some similarities to "Jesus". This leaves several pronunciations that all seem plausible in one way or another. He is also known as "Dennis" due to the chanting in his battle theme sounding a lot like that.
Absolutely, other than it being kind of funny, putting two letters beside themselves, rr for example, pushes them together when it spells out the name in the textbox. Saving very, very, little time.
i like how he said "jetsis" at the beginning of the video, but then changed to "ghetsis" like a normal human would say it, couldnt keep the gaslighting down
I don’t know a lot about speed runs. I subscribed for your nuzlocke content but GODDAMN. This is a fascinating watch! I had no idea there were so many weird RNG manipulation tactics you can use for these games!!! :O
Fantastic video, Pulse! It really helps understand how complicated speedruns can be in a very concise way. I love this gen a lot (even with the nosy Cherry and Bianca xD), so watching you and Swift play it at GDQ was a treat. Best of luck with everything you're working on!
So basically, every single Pokemon Black/White console is presonalized, just like Mario 64 but this time for real. Also, white and black are roughly equal with slight troublesome areas at the end (Rough skin vs Reshiram) but black seems better.
Also, I would imagine the run in round 2 would be Sawk + Volcarona. And I mean Sawk because Stoutland won't work against Marshall's own Sawk, it'll die to close combat. Also you'll need LOTS of rare candies you can get without a lot of detour. Again, volcarona should be able to sweep due to quiver dance + Bug buzz + Psychic + Heat wave (Flamethrower is too out of your way), but Sawk will help you against rock issues.
@@N12015 you could also catch a ferroseed and sacrifice it against the sawk so that it breaks the sash while baiting CC with stoutland, so that you then can easily kill the sawk afterwards. I don't know how well the rest of the fight would go afterwards because you will be without any setup.
I've played the absolute hell out of this game! I know exactly where everything is. It did make me sad that I think you need to use a ds to do this and not a 2/3ds), fun fact! Spinners move when you run 100% of the time!
Ghetsis' name in other languages is G-Cis. Its a pun on a musical scale I dont get (it's G# or G-Sharp in english) and someone else can untangle the implications behind this name but the name change was sort of necessary in the english translation to preserve the original pronunciation and to avoid his name sounding like Jesus. All I can contribute to the musical side of this is that N is Ghetsis' adopted son so in a roundabout way, N is a G# minor which is a scale that appears to show up in and play up tragic connotations. We all know N is a weird, sort of tragic villain but there is another link.
"Lucky egg will give us 1.5 times the amount of experience we would normally earn, which is nearly double what we would normally earn". Is 1.5 nearly equal to 2? I don't think it is
Oof. So this does more or less confirm the double battle is mandatory. Been curious about that due to trying a solo run. Well, technically it's a mono-type run. But my options are super limited until AFTER the twins
Sorry to be negative, but the audio editing is not the greatest on this video. The audio keeps clipping so close to sentences starting and stopping that words just "appear" rather than beginning and ending with the natural cadence of your voice. It's making this video rather difficult to watch because the moment I get absorbed by the content, I'm pulled away by the audio edits. Regardless, great job on the speed run
What other Pokemon Speedruns would you all enjoy me covering? 👀 I wanna make more of these!
Can you do one for BW2? Gen 5 are my favorite games in the series
If it’s possible, could you do platinum or gen 8?Those games are pretty fun to speed through
@@cherry_hedge BW2 is actually one of my favorite speedgames!
@@grenadine_0976 Gen 8 is a very fascinating speedgame. I think I'd like to cover that one soon!
HGSS manipless >.>
Hearing how you pronounced Cheren and Ghetsis' names, I'm absolutely amazed you didn't end up reading N as like...Enrique, or something. XD
i had to double take the moment i heard cheren, ghetsis wasnt as bad as that
Henry, silent H as the Brits pronounce it
Nothing could've prepared me for that Ghetsis pronunciation
Altho, considering that as a kid when I played I thought it was pronounced "G-het-sis" (ie, no silent h), I guess I was just as bad 😅
isn't that how your supposed to pronounce ghetsis?

This was interesting, but I do need to know if calling Cheren Cherry was deliberate

Why is it funny..............
There were a good amount of mistakes other than that, or just weird stuff that doesn't make sense

This was one of the most fun runs this SGDQ, well done on the close win!

Great video man. I like how your entertaining the masses while also teaching us how to run the game as well. Keep up the good work.

50% more is “almost double” lmfao
That was an insanely close race, loved it
This being a glitchless run implies a glitch run exists... and we all know how fun those get :)
Thanks youtube algorithm for showing me this video randomly a year later lol
This feels like speedrunning a speedrun!
I loved it!
Could you do Sun/Moon or US/UM next?
US/UM is probably one of my favorite games I'd love to cover!
Very well explained. Good stuff!
... Bianca and *Chieri* ?????
Edit: Ah you're one of those TH-camrs who pronounces everything wrong on purpose to drive up engagement in the comments

speed runs always help me to determine how long it will take me to beat a older game.
I met you two because of this race. Great video.
4:20 Is it not possible to let snivy die during a battle before this such as in the gym or one of the plasma grunt fights to skip the double battle ?
Jerry?
"Lucky egg will give us 1.5 times the amount of experience we would normally earn, which is nearly double what we would normally earn".
Is 1.5 nearly equal to 2? I don't think it is
nearly
@@sheeplol2161 it's comparable to the difference between STAB and STAB+Adaptability/Tera, which is pretty big
He used rounding
@@Danin906 clearly didn't use rounding down did he
@@joefarrow1599 Well it's 1.5 so you wouldn't round down, would you? Thanks to the wonders of math, x1.5 is basically x2

With this MAC address, does it work for if you use a 3DS instead? Or not?
It does!
@@PulseEffects OH SHI PULSE YOU'RE GONNA SEE ME IN THE SPEEDRUNING LIST MAAAAAAAN
Wait I don't understand what the skip is in the Bryson gym
The rocks don’t have collision so you can walk through them and you can avoid a trainer by walking through it
Ooooh now I see it
I'm sorry, pressing B in celestial tower does HWAT?

Understandable, as this was one of my first video essays. So it's not as crisp as it could have been compared to my latest videos!
Hello
Hi
That female Stoutland should have been called Suki or Raya, not Shiro :).
(Get the reference?)
why not do an elite four round 2 run, probably only takes like 10 more minutes or something xD
wr
RIP, shame to see him teaming up with Swift.
???
its because pulse is cuter than swift, isn’t it
2:05 Jetsus.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
