This game really needs more love, so much challenge potential and hours of fun

Long time ago i do a Dark Type monotype run and it was really fun.

That transition with the pokrball to mirror b at 1:09 was clean as hell

This game and colosseum holds a special place in my heart, cause it made me use pokemon i never even dreamt of using before, and now said pokemon are some of my favorites. They really deserve more love from the pokemon company

I actually didnt use shadow pokemon that much, I just thought shadow pokemon not levelling up was pretty bad haha

It was certainly a much more daunting issue in Colosseum since you didn't get the ability to purify until like a 3rd of the way through the story. Gale of Darkness gives it to you almost instantly.

ive waited for someone to do this. great video, keep it up!!

This was an awesome run to watch unfold. I always wrote off jumpluff as bad but I was surprised that it did so well and was so important. Great video

This was the first video of yours that I've seen, and I loved it! Great editing and humor. Also, props for doing a challenge that I haven't seen before!

Professor Krane may not be Micheal's father but hes certainly the closest thing Micheal has to a dad

A classic game, those on the gamecube were awesome. And even fun

Great video. I love this Orre games, hopefully we can get a remake or continuation on the switch

It’s so nice to actually see someone do this run because I love this concept of only using Pokespot runs.

I think it would have been cool to include the trade Pokémon too since they add a much need fighting type +a sand team if you really want to build it

In my playthroughs of this game i always went through the grind of getting an Aron and a Larvitar every time. Made me hate fighting types haha

If you can one shot something, then defense doesn't matter as much. Espeon for the win

I am barely into the video but I can already tell you put a lot of effort into the video! It's always awesome to see people do challenge runs in this game.

What a legend love these games and love seeing a new challenge for it

THANK YOU. Somebody who FINALLY appreciates Golbat!

Loved this video

So with the Pokésnacks, the pokemon you get is determined when your radar goes off. You can save before it goes off (with some dilligent effort) to reset for a better encounter, but once the radar goes off your encounter us locked in, but you can reset for nature, gender and I assume IVs

Hey I'm ricky is back with a new Pokémon series👏

Mentioning BIONICLE in the first 20 seconds of the video? That earns a sub.

Dakim is 100% Michael’s dad

I always liked how pg mad max the two shadow pokemon games were, I wish pokemon branched out more

It's about time I hear some Delcatty love hell yeah

Aight, just started the video but... "The *Oyye* Region Pokémon games?" did I hear that right? XD If nothing else it was funny enough to make me comment and help that algorithm.

Interesting how you decided to approach the run! I would've built my team differently: Umbreon is honestly a horrible option in XD: every eeveelution deals more damage with bite and gets extra STAB. it lasts a while on the field but there's pokemon that can do that and deal damage. Jolteon and Espeon are good choices, but I probably would've run with Flareon if I used the Eeveelution for the whole run. Most of this team lacks special bulk, which isn't a huge issue until you fight Greevil. Flareon can sit on the field safely and kill stuff with Flamethrower and Shadow Ball, in addition to supporting with Helping Hand. As for my choices from the pokespots, I'd make use of Aggron, Donphan, Masquerain, Jumpluff, Crobat, and if I didn't use flareon, Quagsire. Aggron walls shockingly well in XD, since most of the special shadow moves suck, and the dangerous ones are all physical. you're getting hit with fighting, ground, and water types moves less cause of shadow pokemon's prevelence in the lategame, so stuff won't oneshot you all the time. Other than that, you can get Double-Edge from the move tutor for easy coverage (get an aggron with rock head: no recoil!), plus Iron Tail and Earthquake. Iron Defense lets you become invincible against any physical team, which is important for shadow lugia since you want to catch it without the master ball so you have it for Greevil. Donphan appreciates Body Slam being available from the move tutor, since it gives him a much better offensive move in the early game. Apart from that, you might consider giving them Iron Tail from Realgam colosseum. Donphan is another hard hitting physical wall you can use when facing someone with fighting or ground moves. Masquerain's stats are quite bad, but it's a flying type which means it's immune to earthquake. It's main purpose is to intimidate the foe, use one move, and then probably die. Its best use is making use of Sweet Scent to lower the evasion of both enemy pokemon, giving moves with 75% accuracy a 100% chance to hit (so iron tail, sleep powder, and maybe some other moves). You won't really be dealing much damage, but if you want to try you can give it Blizzard via TM (93% accurate after sweet scent). Jumpluff is useful for what you used it for in the video, fast sleep powders! It doesn't do much else, but it doesn't really need to. Earthquake immunity is very useful. I'm not at all surprised that Crobat didn't evolve for you when you played, friendship gain is very slow in XD. You probably should've given it the soothe bell, and could also have caught it in a luxury ball if you waited till the S. S. Libra. It isn't great, but Sludge Bomb deals good damage, which you can supplement with Wing Attack and Shadow Ball (if not using flareon). Overall it's really just another pokemon immune to earthquake. Sandslash, Gligar, Quagsire, and Flygon don't really have room on the team. I already used earthquake on Aggron, and their movepools kinda suffer for that. Sandslash and Quagsire do OK thanks to brick break but the others are kinda stuck. Quagsire I think kinda works thanks to Water Absorb giving us an answer to water types, Brick Break + Natural Earthquake at a reasonable level, Amnesia for Greevil, and Yawn.

I totally did this like 2 months ago and just now saw this. I used Espeon, Masquerain, Flygon, Aggron, Quagsire, and Jumpluff.

Randomly got recommended This vid and its pretty entertaining but jfc are the comments/jokes from 41:55 to 42:55 absolutely atrocious sheesh

Hey great video, but just to clear things up, your mom in game confirms your father passed away. Another reason why this and Colosseum were on the more mature side

Watch until the end people well worth it very fun video! always wanted to try this when I was younger but never did gonna have to go give a try now!

You've got some points with the father theory

Bro, Greevil is Eldes’ and Ardos’ father. If Eldes was your father, that would make Greevil your grandfather and Ardos your uncle… not to mention that you and Jovi (your *sister,* btw) met all three of them at Gateon Port in the beginning of the game and no idea who they were. You don’t think for a *second* that the big boss of Cipher would know who his own grandkids were, and vice versa? I applaud your imagination… but nah fam; I gotta say “no” on this one.

also you absolutely CAN reset the pokespot spawns. The moment your radar notifies you is when the pokemon spawns. You just have to save a few steps before it goes off and it will reroll. I did this just a few days ago to get the rare spawns in just a few resets

I subscribe to the canon that Eldes is Michael's father and Ardos is Jovi's father. Pretty shameful behavior on both Lilly and Ardos's behalf for cucking Eldes. This whole theory goes deeper if we consider that Eldes forgives his brother as evident by him working alongside Ardos all these years late.

Funny enough this was something I had also thought briefly when the game first came out even though I'd played both. Though this and thinking Micheal's mother Lily was Rui was more down to a relative saying such. Neither of us knowing at the time that the time passed between the games isn't large enough for that at only around five years. Which to be far I think a few NPCs mention that timeframe from what I remember but it has been a while since I last played the game.

Unfortunately goldbat is a simp 😂😂😂❤
