"Is this like a Diamond and Pearl thing that they fixed in Platinum?" Actually yes! DP is notorious for having just pure random AI for all its trainers, but in Platinum they went back to the trainers actually considering anything before choosing their moves.

I love that if the second rule was relevant it would say that you can't use Hm Pokemon in battle. Therefore on a technicality the run isn't possible. Keep up the good work MDB😃

Pokémon Challenge suggestion: You are free to go with the game of your choice, but the challenges is using only middle evolution stage pokémon. (For Exemple: If you pick Bulbasaur as your starter, you can only battle with Ivysaur.) You are not allowed to use pokémon who's has no evolution or only 1, it must be a pokémon with a 2 stage linear Evolution. So pokémon like Eevee or Tyrogue are not allowed, but pokémon like Oddish, Poliwag or Ralts are allowed. Try number: 6

@insulttothehumanrace3807

23 күн бұрын

Having done a couple of these myself recently, I would like to see MDB try it. There are some good middle forms, but definitely still can be a challenge. Though a complicated addendum: Your array of middle forms depends on the generation or region a Pokemon actually is a middle form. (For example, no Golbat in Kanto since Crobat wasn't a thing yet, or no Magmar until generation 4 or Sinnoh)

I would love to see you someday take on Pokémon Platinum using only your rival's team, I have said so before and I think his floundering during the double battle in this episode shows why. But an idea came to me during this video that I have just got to try out in a ROM, what would it look like if the rival used a MDB pokémon team instead? I shall have to get back to you on this.

MDB:"If Lucario just missed that Aura Sphere we would have won." Me: O.o I dunno if he was making an ironic joke, or if somebody needs to tell him...

Pointless trivia: He actually got some decent luck with his early party members. - Bidoof with Adamant nature, which is its best nature. + Atk, - Sp Atk. Awesome, especially early on when having to rely on Rock Smash and Cut. - Starly had a "Proud of its power" characteristic, which indicates a high Attack IV. Very handy on his Fly user. - Magikarp had a "Loves to eat" characteristic, which indicates a high HP IV. Which is actually pretty good on a Water Onix. - And Sassy actually isn't bad for an Empoleon; it has low Speed anyway, and rather good Special Defense, so numerically least it was a good nature. And yeah, the level jump for the Elite Four was quite the obstacle for Diamond/Pearl, though it balanced out a bit due to their team options (Aaron had to use starter bugs, for crying out loud; and Flint is notorious for being a Fire specialist in a game with only 2 Fire types). Though we also didn't have only 4 move types available for use, so good on MDB for working through that.

I’ve been watching your content for years, and it’s actually inspired me to do my own challenge runs in other games. Ive only done one challenge run in pokemon (other than nuzlockes) and that was a random number generator run in emerald and fire red. It was pretty fun as I got a lot of bad pokemon (I got luvdisk and mawile in emerald) and even a repeat in fire red (magnamite and magnaton) I’ve mostly been doing challenge runs in JRPGs like octopath traveler and bravely default 2. Actually the first one was in bravely default 2, being no braving and no defaulting. It was quite fun and I still came out with pretty broken builds. I’m currently near the end of one, which is octopath 2 with only elemental skills. I’ve been logging it on Reddit, as I don’t have a capture card yet, and it’s been very fun. Anyways, all I want to say is thank you. You’ve brung me joy and I love your challenge runs and playthroughs.

You're in luck, because MDB actually already did Pokemon Platinum with only honey tree pokemon about 3 years ago. Worth a watch.

A fun run could be 'Pokemon Platinum with Crasher Wake's Team' Iirc, it's Water Onix, Floatzel, and Quagsire. They get some good coverage.

Torrent on Empoleon is probably why Surf was doing more against Gyarados than Rock Climb, along with Empoleon just having much better Special Attack, anyway.

You might never see this but challenge idea if you want it, WWE / wrestling run where you pick either your favorite wrestler or have us vote for a wrestler and find a Pokemon "Version" Like Kane=Charmander or something like that. It can be a team run if you want or solo Sikoa run ☝.

1k likes! Love the content MDB

Version exclusive runs are fun to watch.

Imagine MD f'n D playing the inferior gen4 games only to not be stuck in lv100 Struggle hell, which even then is no HM. Absolutely professional.

This might be an intersting idea in some Romhacks. Like with how Drayano usually changes the HM moves to be more interesting.

25:20 Aura Sphere has unlimited Accuracy....

Man, I love Sinnoh Runs. Shame most of your moves were normal. But if you're gonna do a Normal-Heavy Sinnoh Run, you should do a Platinum Lopunny Solo!

I unwittingly did this challenge on my first play through at 6 yrs old. Mike the torterra ended up knowing cut strength rock smash and rock climb at lvl like 90something. Didn’t know the move deleter existed until I was 7

In Platinum you could theoretically trade in a Scrappy Miltank or Kangaskahn for Gym 3 since they can both learn Rock Smash.

Dang, you didnt change hm to tm pokemon for the bit, great vid though as always!

another pkmn run from MDB, they're fun to watch

heres an interesting challenge, pokemon b/w but you can only use pokemon with intimidate. there are some good options that you wouldnt typically get to use (gyarados, stoutland, krookodile and even scrafty if youre willing to try and find a hidden ability one)

Garchomp might be the most overpowered pokemon I've ever seen

"If lucario just missed that aura sphere..." Me: "Uhh..."

Damn Mdb. First one I’ve seen in a while: sorry to hear about the marrriage

I love your videos! It is great to watch you traveling! I have some ideas for future runs! So the first is Vulpix only run in gen 4. In Platinum it should work? Heart Gold/Soul Silver is way harder this way, so i guess a full team of them? An easy run (you need those too, so don't complain!) would be an Eeveelution run. All 7 of gen 4 in Platinum. In Heart Gold Soul Silver this should work too? I'm not sure where you can evolve Leafeon and Glaceon. So best should be Platinum. Third is, can you beat Pokémon Crystal as Elite 4 Bruno? I'm not sure how well or bad this will run. I guess it could be easy, but i don't know. I hope you can realize the ideas!

Any generation you feel like playing using only TM moves would be a fun and breezy team run. I’d ban HM moves from that run so it doesn’t turn into the Surf and Strength show like HM runs tend to. Platinum gives you Return almost immediately, but most gens would work. Also recommending Stunky in HGSS again because he’s a cute Pokemon

So close to my run idea of using just one mew with no hm pokemon, would be so interesting to know if it's even possible considering how many hms are needed in each game

I'm sorry to hear about the split. I hope you didn't get too bombarded on Twitter. Hope you keep healing and that you keep pushing ahead. From random guy on the interweb number 5, you certainly make relaxing in my life easier, I hope you can find that same comfort you provide some of us.

All the 'Are you going to do Pokemon x' questions, when I'm just wondering about more Bannerlord when. Glad to hear that's still in the cards as well :3

Should’ve just grabbed a Geodude at the beginning of the game. Geodude is actually insane for playthroughs

A fun pokechallenge you could do is first form only. You can use whatever pokemon you want, so will be fun.

Genuinely i just live like this while regularly playing gen3/4 like id rather just use strength than return or body slam bc its still 80bp and now i dont need to worry abt having a specific hm slave

Oh cool it’s Saturday. Time for me to check if the raft play through got updated
