Very interesting! In your research, did you ever come across why 69BP Grass is the best option over, say, 70BP Fighting/Ground/Water/Steel ? Although the one BP difference may be insignificant, as someone who is foreign to RNG manipulation I would think you should just maximize what you can
it's a good question! there's only a certain number of chimchars that can be generated, so finding one that has good enough stats for the rest of the run and also has a HP that can take down roark is pretty tricky, so you have to make some tradeoffs here and there
yeah infernape gets better coverage and can deal a lot more damage in the long term, so tends to get picked for those reasons in DP (platinum is a lot more competitive between infernape and empoleon)
Its a solid video, but I think the video was pretty slow paced. Like a lot of infos are known to the viewers who watch such videos I'd say. Found myself skipping often
it's a fair point, but mostly a deliberate choice - I choose to include basic information for people who only have a basic knowledge of how the games work. Thanks for the feedback!
@@tortoisecity Yeah I can get behind that. Figured I'd give you my feedback regardless so you can choose w/e you want to do with it. As I said tough. Still a good video :)
Most players don't do speedruns (or the cringey Nuzlockes) so most of these things are unknown to most players. I didn't ever consider this gym battle to be hard under any circumstances, same as with Whitney's Miltank, until the internet told me they were "hard" and a lot of people agreed with them. So no, can't say I ever knew this one before.
The sinnoh gyms get a lot of critism for their non-attention to type theming well except in Platinum where they fixed that. Of course BDSP suck so they ignored everything platinum fixed. Also gen 4 is easily the hardest pokemon gen and no other game really comes close except black white 2 tbh. Unless we count collesseum and xd which are kinda the oddballs. Edit: i know you probably knew platinum fixed that, this is just for people who didn't know.

"we need a monkey ... and we need a very specific monkey" is one of my favorite lines now
it's a frame perfect monkey
Cranidos said "Nice strategy. However, *Headbutt* "
that's interesting, anyway, headbutt
Wake up babe, TortoiseCity just uploaded
bless you
i liked this video a lot. had the right amount of info for a pokemon casual like me.
glad you liked it! that balance is hard to strike and I try to pay a lot of attention to it :)
I like how Falkner was on the list of toughest gym leaders from that Google result you did (despite the fact that he is infamously easy lol).
yeah falkner is pretty weak, generally speaking
@@tortoisecity The power of random Google suggestions lol.

I am commenting to increase engagement metrics, hopefully you will be able to become a poketuber someday
lmao thanks, the algorithm is a mystery so I try not to think about it too much
Replying to increase engagement metrics 👍
This is very interesting! Nice!
thanks! glad you liked it
so why is it chimchar with gradd hp and not piplup with gradd hp? the speed and later matchups?

speaking of Gym Leaders can you do ruby and sapphire Tate and Liza rng hell if you want a good time?
suppose I could do that, tbh, not a bad idea
(though TnL is actually much worse in Emerald, from what I know)
@@tortoisecity i was referring to speedruning
Tate and Liza in ruby and sapphire is harder but Emerald is harder casual
this is true, the document for tnl in rs speedruns is like 13 pages lmao

so many hard fights in speedruns are so easy in casual play
Ha i ran through this bum 🤣
definitely possible to do so, but also no doubt that the cranidos is just stupidly strong

all true (the people who don't know can check out my other video on this exact topic!)
I think it's actually better. It allows them to actually cover the weaknesses. I wish more gym leaders did so.
I still hadn't any problem on pearl so I can't relate 😢
