Rule 5: No badge boost glitch. It doesn't matter if you cannot learn a move which buffs a stat, the badge boost glitch is also applied when you get a move which debuffs your pokemon. For example, Leer will lower your Def but will boost all other stats for any badges you have. You cannot avoid this glitch unless you mange to never get hit by a debuff move after you have a badge.
How dare you put bongzilla weedle in with the other 4 trash mons😂 He gets a huge stab move in poison sting. I’m looking forward to this. Bugcatcher/Fishermen everywhere are rooting for you.
@@retrobrownsoloruns Bongzilla is what Jake Mcaulay named his Weedle and if you haven't seen that series, go watch it. It's a riot unlike most other pokemon solo runs due to his unique editing style and humor.
Poison sting is still CRAP in fact it doesn't really EVER poison anything at all and its damage sucks Kakuna/Metapod can't EVEN attack all they can use is Harden which does no damage and unlike Abra to Kadabra Kakuna/Metapod don't EVER learn damage moves if you NEVER evolve them ever.
Haha well to be fair this video is a laugh at my pain type of video 😂 I wont be rushing to do one like this again any time soon! Just wait till you get to the elite four
Rival status >:3 Hahh, the happy zooming after badge 1 lolol, struggle strats at level 66 against Koga. Those pokemon were mad. @55:58 _swear word_ is very understandable 😆 'eyyyyy. It may not have been a technical win, but it was definitely a triumph of the spirit!!! 🎇 Well done!
Just finished watching this tonight. I was surprised by how important String Shot was. As far as that solo run you haven't tried or watched any videos of, without spoiling anything, I warn you to use multiple save states. A game breaking bug was found which makes moves unselectable and it can easily happen in normal gameplay in that run. You may need to reference other videos of that run.
Oh really? :O I wasnt aware of that, if you can find the link and comment it here I will take a look, I think i'll definitely need all the help I can get when it gets to that solo run haha! I don't want any more f-tiers
@@retrobrownsoloruns It's really bad. Not going to tell you how bad. Most battles are terrible and some battles that you think could be, aren't. The videos are Pikasprey's and Jrose11's. Pikasprey showcases one bug well, and Jrose talks more in depth. I can also summarize for you as I just watched those again. I suggest watching the videos before reading further though. Although I consider pokemon solo runs like these to be puzzle runs, so you may wish to hold off until you absolutely need the help. As long as you cycle 3 or 4 save states before every battle you should be okay. SPOILERS Still here? Ok. -Don't switch the order of move while Transformed. -For some reason Ditto can seemingly randomly forget how to Struggle. If Transform is at 0PP and this bug occurs, Transform will be unable to be selected, softlocking your game.

JRose mentioned there are some fixes he found, but did not say what they were. -If Transform is Disabled in this state the game will freeze. -Critical Hits uses Ditto's original Attack stat even while Transformed. -Level is still calculated in the damage equation despite Ditto copying all stats of a pokemon it has Transformed into.
Oh my word 😨 I had no idea that these are the things I'll have to work around! I'll definitely go watch their videos in preparation for when this run comes up! Thank you so much for the in depth explanation! I may have to switch up the emulator I use for that run because ive never seen an option on OpenEmu for save states. When I eventually do get around to this run. Would you be happy for the Ditto to be named after you? In thanks for the help here? 😁
I did debate it, but then it wouldnt have learned poison sting 🙂 it only has Harden when you catch a wild Kakuna or Metapod. Doesnt learn it via level up
Thank you! 😁 definitely takes a lot of time to even attempt this but it is weirdly fun. Are there any other challenges you'd like to see attempted on this channel 🙂?
@@retrobrownsoloruns not a challenge but id be happy to watch you do a run authentic the way you would in general. Hope you get millions of subs mate, I know youre in a bit of a niche but good luck brother!
Hmm I think the only game I could legitimately do that in would be sun and moon because its the only game i've never completed 🤔 wasnt a fan of that one. Ill put in on the list though 🙂 thank you!
I've had this feedback a couple of times this month but not enough time to sort it out 😅 all videos in the new year, the backing audio will be getting updated 🙂 thanks for sharing your thoughts and apologies it hindered when watching the video
No weedle and kakuna will get soft locked when fighting loneliness. Her dealing sees a poison type and will use it's psychic move, rest. If you can't make dewgong faint in 3 turns, it will always heal with rest
Im assuming you're speaking in a solo run context? They'd probably make it past the Dewgong using Struggle stats (cant say much for the rest of Lorelei's Pokemon) 😅
All the team members were called Fail because they were the only five who I couldnt complete a solo run with, the sixth i've yet i've yet to do a solo run with 🙂
Oh its a tough challenge 😂 takes a LOT of time and patience. Im thinking of doing it again but in gen two next year so will be looking to all you guys to help me choose my team for that run 🙂. I know for a fact Tyrogue will be making an appearance... its moveset is god awful
I wouldnt be allowing evolutions if I did that run so we wouldnt see Hitmontop, but I agree, passable in competitive because of rapid spin, but otherwise. Useless 😂
Ive had plenty of feedback on the backing track 😅 your comment is justified. That'll be changing on future videos in the new year 🙂 thanks for stopping by while you did
HOWLING! :'D It was long, it was hard and there is definitely a pun in there!
Hahahaaaa 😂 knew someone would pick up on this!
I would love to be named after a caterpie
Ah man we've already done the Caterpie solo run, mono bug and this video 😔
Leave it with me 😉 Caterpie can make a return!
You deserve a salute and a round of applause for this sir.
Aww thanks mate! 😁 glad the video is being well received!
This is going to be absolutely brutal
Oh mate it was hands down the most difficult challenge ive ever done! This video alone made me think I wouldnt complete this month at all 😂
Hey, I think I've seen you before, Jack Ruby...
Insane that string shot still had utility.
I know right! 😂 string shot of all moves had a purpose in this challenge!

Yeah annoyingly when that happens its out of my hands 🙂 so it doesnt breach this rule for me. I wasnt the one buffing my stats

Bongzilla is an amazing name 😂😂 that weedle is a cut above the rest. Saved my ass in so many situations!

@@Peelster1 I've never heard of Jake Mcauley's channel so I will definitely go watch it :) cheers for the recommendation guys!

@ I was joking about how op weedle is compared to magikarp, metapod, caterpie and kakuna getting a relatively good stab move
Oh my word this looked so painful 😂
That happy run around Pewter 😂😂😂
Mate so painful! 😨 this run was torture!
Haha I could have happily done that after every major battle
They are not failures! They are trying their best :')
They had to be rescued! 😂
Or giving weedle and caterpie twineedle and thundershock and proxies for bug bite and electro web they learn later in gens
*as proxies
Oo now thats an interesting idea 😁 not going to lie though. Going to be a while before I attempt this in another generation haha
Bit late to the show, at this point just watching you struggle against Brock and it's hilarious 😂
Haha well to be fair this video is a laugh at my pain type of video 😂 I wont be rushing to do one like this again any time soon! Just wait till you get to the elite four

Or imagine giving kakhuna harden so it can badge boost
I did debate it, but then it wouldnt have learned poison sting 🙂 it only has Harden when you catch a wild Kakuna or Metapod. Doesnt learn it via level up
Imagine if you gave magikarp dragon rage or bubble
I was thinking about doing a challenge like this in future but I think RBY Challenges has already done this 🙂 check out his channel! Great videos
Or giving magikarp fly and hydro pump since magikarp learns bounce and hydro pump in gen 9? Can’t remember
Ha maybe the challenge would be a team of magikarp with unique attacks :')
@ hell yeah
Cool idea! Just subscribed, too!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel 😁
Cool Cool idea for a video. They cannot do it alone, but can they together with the power of friendship?
Not even the power of friendship can help these guys 😂 no anime plot logic here!
Good job mate, I dont have patience to even try something like that. Thumbs up!

Suggestion, changing the track playing in the background every..... 10 mins or so would be great. It gets to be a bit much.

Ott of curiottsity, why did Paras escape this team?
I've been able to complete the game with just a Paras, but also, just for the move Spore 🙂😅 that move is busted
@ That makes sense. I guess I just didnt expect that to be enough
All the team members were called Fail because they were the only five who I couldnt complete a solo run with, the sixth i've yet i've yet to do a solo run with 🙂
I would find that 100% impossible.
Oh its a tough challenge 😂 takes a LOT of time and patience. Im thinking of doing it again but in gen two next year so will be looking to all you guys to help me choose my team for that run 🙂. I know for a fact Tyrogue will be making an appearance... its moveset is god awful
Tyrogue also sucks but Hitmon TOP isn't MUCH better either.
I wouldnt be allowing evolutions if I did that run so we wouldnt see Hitmontop, but I agree, passable in competitive because of rapid spin, but otherwise. Useless 😂
A quarter way through and it feels impossible!
Oh, and you might wanna diversify the BGM.
Ha I have a slight workaround 😅
And I know... its going to be a priority to sort in the new year videos! Im getting tired of the background music
Clicked off after a few minutes of the nonstop 10 second loop wtf is that
