My only gripe with Starmie is having to wait so long to get one - other than that, Starmie's a pretty perfect Water Pokémon!

Recently realized that out of all Gen 1 Pokémon, Kingler has the 2nd highest (physical) attack out of all of them, only behind dragonite. It has 130 attack, for reference dragonite only had 4 more, at 134. It’s tied with both Machamp & Flareon though, who both also have 130 attack. This actually really blew my mind because you would never think this crab Pokémon that barely anyone used had higher attack then Pokémon like Gyarados, Snorlax, Hitmonlee, & Aerodactyl. Hell, even Krabby, with its 105 attack, has the 19th highest attack in Gen 1, higher then Hitmonchan, Tauros, Kangaskhan, & tied with Aerodactyl. 🎃

The crazy thing is how little that attack stat mattered in gen 1. Raticate deals more damage with a body slam than Kingler does. STAB is that important.

I remember being annoyed as a kid by the “It’s a one-hit KO!” text from guillotine or fissure when I’d use other moves that would knock out pokemon in one hit. I’d think “why doesn’t it say the one-hit KO text when I used flamethrower on that level 8 oddish?!”

Watching you do solo runs has inspired me to start doing my own in FireRed. I've tried doing them before (from watching other creators that do solo run challenges) but never found a proper ruleset that really stuck with me. For example, choosing a Pokemon that's only one form (base form or evolved form) and sticking with it from the beginning was something that others seemed to do most often, but I ended up not really enjoying that as much when I started doing runs. Watching you do the full evolutionary line in your main series made me realize "oh, I can just do that instead" and I've found runs much more fun that way. Also, your choice to restrict Rare Candies until Red (for me, before the Elite Four) improved the gameplay a lot for me, as that way it's never a choice to use them beforehand, which can end up being slower in the long run even if it seems faster at the time, and can really make runs inconsistent with others. The classic "attempting Red at my current level before using rare candies or changing moves" really works. I wish I could make good videos like yours & others to go with these runs, but I'm having fun just doing the runs themselves, which is the important thing. So yeah, really appreciate your runs and your ruleset as it's helped me form my own playstyle that I enjoy. :)

@Squidgy

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your very kind comment, Gibstack, I'm glad I could inspire you to find a way to make challenge runs a fun experience! Everyone's gonna have different rules that work for them - I bent the rules slightly in the upcoming Mr. Mime video and learnt some moves in between Blue and Red, and it just didn't feel right. It saved time, but it wasn't in-keeping with the spirit of the runs. The beauty of doing your own runs is that you can chop and change the rules as much as you like until you find a set that works for you. It's VERY tempting to use a Rare Candy to make a difficult fight easier, but there's always a chance that you'll need the extra level later on, and a single Rare Candy can go much, much further at a higher level. I hadn't made a single long-form KZread video until I made the Corsola one back in August, but I've been doing challenge runs since December last year - I broke the process down into little steps to make the whole thing less intimidating: I started off by getting comfortable with a route through the game. For the most part, this is going to stay the same, and you'll know roughly where you want to go at any one time. I then created an overlay with all the information I could ever need about the Pokémon - the info on-screen is as much for my benefit while recording as it is for the viewers' benefit while watching! After that, I started timing and recording runs, while also streaming them live on Twitch. This helped me understand what people enjoyed seeing, and what people wouldn't mind being skipped. And finally, I decided to take on a VERY difficult challenge for my first video. My logic is that if you create a brutal challenge for your first run, subsequent videos will feel easy in comparison, and by the time you're doing your next tricky run, you'll feel comfortable with the video making process. I hope I've not bored you to tears with this explanation, and I really hope it helps if you do decide to run in the future! :)

@Gibstack

Жыл бұрын

@@Squidgy This is really helpful! If I ever really start trying to make my own long form videos with these challenges, I will definitely reference these ideas. Little steps are likely the key to feeling confident enough to make similar videos. The first step you mentioned is something I've already been practicing a lot, and that has really helped me feel confident in playing the game. In just 5 runs, my route through the game has been really consistent, and it has worked. I know the things I need to grab (key items, rare candy, and TMs/items available) and what order to do things in, with the knowledge to skip things if needed (ex. skipping Erika until later with a water type) I've also really learned a ton of details - really committed them to memory - that help me make decisions while playing. For example, I know the elite four aces have sitrus berries, but I always forgot about them - now, I remember them and can play against them. I'm also super aware now of fights that have Intimidate users, which are incredibly significant in a solo run. These sorts of things that I can keep learning during each run really make me feel good & getting better about playing the game. Keeping rules in the spirit of the run really helps my mindset in these challenges. As well as waiting to use Rare Candy, I've chosen to fight the Elite Four at my current level first (the same way you fight Red; same inspiration), and also not save in between Elite Four (I think Jrose does the same if I remember right). This really makes the end game more exciting and tense, as the Pokemon has to be a lot more consistent, rather than relying on luck to make it through (though some Pokemon will naturally get good & bad luck, of course) I really enjoy saving Rare Candy for the end for that reason. There's a *chance* that it might be more helpful early on than later on, but by removing the possibility, it reduces both the likelihood of making a wrong decision, and also reduces having to grind manually at the end if that happens, which is never the most fun part of a run. I currently only do one run with the solo run pokemon, but if I go back to one, I would remove these end-game rules and route them more specifically. But in the first run, where I'm just seeing how well I naturally do with the Pokemon, this playstyle has been really effective for me. For each run, I only really look up movesets in advance and note down what moves I want, and then my general knowledge of the game supplements the rest of the routing I do in the run. Looking up/routing too much in advance - "if Misty's Starmie is a guaranteed 2 hit at Level 22 with... " - would make this much more difficult to start playing. But I expect that when I come back to a run, I could much more confidently route than when I first started using a Pokemon, which is another thing that really helps me get the spark in doing these solo runs. One other random thing - feeling fine to pause the timer mid-run for things like encountering the right wild pokemon (for HM friends), pausing to make decisions, think about something, or take a break, or if you make a player-error; all of that really takes the pressure off as a challenge runner. It doesn't feel like if I forget a rare candy somewhere, or I forget a key item, or just need to take a break; none of that feels like I'm "ruining the run", and that helps so much with making this more fun. I realize that all challenge runners likely do this in some capacity (at least to take breaks) but I'd never thought about it as a rule until seeing your videos & live runs, and that is so helpful with feeling more comfortable in doing these myself. (I feel like I responded with something that's doubly long, so I also hope I didn't bore with all these details. I'm really excited to do more solo runs though and I'm happy to share my thoughts from my runs :) )

I think we could easily chat for hours about the intricacies of creating a challenge run - I've given you a follow on Twitter, in case you want to message there, as it'll be a lot easier than following a KZread comment thread. The more you play the game, the more confident you become, and the more knowledgeable you become. For instance, I now know that Morty has a 90% chance to use Curse on the first turn, so I need to prepare for that if I am running a Pokémon that doesn't outspeed or OHKO all of his Pokémon. There's a bit of a split in the challenge run community between people who intricately plan every little detail of a route, and those who look at the learnset and try to figure it out on the fly. Both are equally valid strategies and can produce fun runs to play, as well as fun content, but I fall into the latter category. I love not knowing what my roadblocks are going to be, and having to re-route on the fly. I did a failed Dunsparce run on stream the other day, and I had no idea that Jasmine would be such an issue for Dunsparce, so I restarted with a better Hidden Power type and steamrolled through most of the game. Nobody's going to have a perfect run for every recording session - you're going to make mistakes, and that's what the pause button is for on the timer. Say, for instance, I forget to pick up the SecretPotion in Cianwood City: I'll pause the timer and make my way to the front of Cianwood City's Pokémon Center, unpause the timer, collect the SecretPotion, and then re-pause the timer until I'm in the exact tile I on before. It's imperative to take breaks when doing runs. I have fixed points in the game where I will always take a break - after Gym 7, and after the League - but I will also take breaks after Morty, or after Red Gyarados, if I need them. The worst thing you can do is power through mental fatigue and end up making silly errors because you didn't give yourself breathing room!

Went for far less grinding early on to get faster times, but that came with risks, of course. I thankfully didn't have to grind at all for Rival 2 thanks to a combination of Przcureberry, Mud-Slap, and Fury Cutter, and Whitney was also super easy with Fury Cutter. I have a huge gap between Bugsy and Whitney because of bad luck searching for HM Friends in the forest. I also got an unexpected reset against the Rocket Admin with the 5 Koffings and 1 Weezing, but this one was from Weezing barely hanging on and using Smokescreen, followed by me missing over and over until going down.

Someone make a Gen 2 Romhack with phys special split and aqua jet, my boi won’t have to wait so long to be useful 😂😂😂😂

32:35 you didn't outspeed the snorlax because of the curses you've used.

love me some Kingler!

Isn’t crabhammer better then surf due to kinglers super low special???

In Gen 2, Crabhammer's a Special move, so with its reduced accuracy and only a slightly boosted chance to Critical Hit, Surf was the more reliable choice

I get cheeky and use guillotine.......nice

I know strategically you can battle 6 and 7 in any order but why not go 6 first and not having to come back to olivine?

I used to do the gyms in the correct order, but it's quicker to do them this way round - you've got to do Cianwood City before battling Jasmine regardless, and getting the extra levels off Rocket and Pryce can turn a very difficult Jasmine fight into an easier one

@@Squidgy makes sense thanks for the reply but if you had a really good matchup you could possibly attempt jasmine and if not reset and keep going the route

Looking at his movepool, I'm guessing Kingler's best moves would be return and hidden power (ground).

I wanted to avoid using HP Ground for a third consecutive run, but it would've been a good alternative choice

Teddiursa, Girafarig, or Dunsparce. They're all excellent designs.

Whirlpool is weaker than bubble, at least in gen 2 - 15 power and 70% accuracy

That's a good point - it does have the trapping ability, though, which probably deals more damage than the move itself!

why are you able to surf on to mt morter before beating morty

You don't need to surf to do Mt. Mortar - you can go through the inside of the cave instead!

Anyone have the code to change starters in crystal?

The best option is to use the Universal Pokémon Randomizer to change starters - it's a lot easier than looking for Gameshark Codes :)

It's wild how there's a crab Pokémon a starfish Pokémon and no sea sponge Pokémon... haters

Poor Kingler massive physical attacker yet only a few physical moves. Kingler was best in gen 4

I'm not a fan of HGSS for challenge runs, but I might make an exception and do a stream at some point for a Pokémon like Kingler, as I think the difference would be night and day!

2hrs I say

BLASTOISE!!

I remember back then, I used kingler as my HM slave 🤣 but actually it's strong pokemon with high physical attack.
