Ah yes, SoulSilver. I remember it well. I chose Chikorita. He had an Attack lowering nature. Later realised I had nothing good against flying or fire types. So I caught a Geodu- Onix. I caught an Onix. Traded over a pair of Ariados from Pokemon Pearl to breed a Spinarak for my team. Why? No other reason than I like Ariados. I just think they're neat. It didn't stay permanently. Realised I had nothing good against Whitney, as all of my team was male and thus susceptible to Attract, or straight up weak to Rollout... except the team's lord and saviour, Onix, who was female. Promptly traded her to Pokemon Pearl, gave her a Metal Coat, then traded her back to SoulSilver. Had a female Steelix at less than level 20. I laughed. Whitney cried. She had no power over my team any more. Immediately thereafter, realised that by evolving Onix I'd just made my then only counter to fire types... weak to fire again. Cried a bit. My final team fir defeating the Elite Four ended up being Nidoqueen (with Rivalry, not Poison Point), Fearow, Steelix, Lanturn, Umbreon and Dragonair. I can practically hear Imported Cheese's disapproval from here.

IIRC Sacred Fire is physical just because Ho-Oh's Attack stat is higher than its Sp.Atk. Gyarados also gets Aqua Tail at Lv.35 in Gen IV. You don't even need to wait for Waterfall. You can access Cerulean Cave before beating the Lance rematch and Red, so you can grab Mewtwo specifically for the final battle, and as it comes in at Lv.70 and it's Mewtwo, it's already strong enough to take them on. The only Pokemon locked behind Red are the Kanto starters from Oak, the Hoenn starters that Steven gives you, and Kyogre/Groudon, as Oak only gives you the Orbs after you beat Red. The Birds being at Lv.50 means they're not _awful_ if you go and grab them as soon as you get to Kanto, but you've got to do the Radio Tower sidequest first. Also there's Latias/Latios, which you can get after the Copycat sidequest in Kanto, but they're Lv.35 for some reason so not really worth it.

This is based on completing the game in an expedient manner, as he says repeatedly through the video. The only thing that matters unless you're intentionally making the game longer is one-shotting everything, and XP is somewhat limited so you're best to just pump it all into one or two heavy hitters, and once again due to EVs the most efficient strategy really is to do the tried-and-true 8 year old illiterate strats of curbstomping everything with your 20 levels higher starter Pokemon. Game Freak made the games this way. If you want to play something that isn't braindead go play Radical Red or something.

Thank you so much for these videos, Cheese. They are awesome to watch over and over. I have been following in game tier lists since around gen 5/6, and it has always been very interesting. Pokemon games are meant to be replayed many times, this gives a lot of opportunities to try new pokemon or ways to play. Please do more. Don't be afraid that you will run out of games to do in game tier lists. There are dozens of fan games that you can cover as well, like renegade platinum. Or some spin-off ones like mystery dungeon. I hope that one day you can also cover SMT games like Nocturne.

Typhlosion will always be my fave gen-2 starter, but the physical special split did it so dirty. Meanwhile, Feraligatr made out like a boss, not to mention one of the very few starters in the entire franchise that can fully solo a game without even needing any HM mules on the bench. Honestly, I'd be very tempted to rank Feraligatr at the very pinnacle of S-tier, maybe even give it a tier above all to itself, but at the very least its position should be swapped with Typhlosion. As for Meganium, you were far more generous to it than I would have been. It might be a starter, but its stats are so mediocre, grass typing is so bad (especially in Johto), and the thing doesn't get any meaningful coverage. Should really be at least one tier lower.

I could just be blind but I'm not seeing Ditto in D tier, (K)anto tier or Unown tier in the older video and it's certainly no higher than that so congrats on being remembered Ditto!

Although I agree with Hoothoot's ranking, I do want to point out that Noctowl actually serves as the perfect counter to Morty. With Insomnia and Confusion, I basically wiped the floor with him with little trouble. The Normal typing makes it immune to Ghost-type moves and his Hypnosis/Dream Eater strategy is completely totaled by Insomnia. He could only touch me with Sucker Punch, and that only has 5 PP. Confusion is also super effective against his entire team. So if for some reason, you're struggling with Morty and don't want to overlevel or something, I'd suggest getting a Noctowl for this fight. It's not really a great Pokemon, but seeing it excel in this battle really made me like it, because I usually have some trouble with Morty because I try to keep my team at the level of the Gym Leaders. Also, I like owls, so that's why I had it on my team in the first place.

31:18 The funniest part of using the Shuffle icon here is that Ariados is unironically like. the third best Bug type there. Above average max attack power and has the highly useful Block Shot. Send him back from whence he came so he can be useful

Incredible how over 8? hours of livestream became a little over 2 hours of content. It was a very fun stream.

Alright the premium 😀 I was like an hour late to the live version but still enjoyed that time and gonna enjoy this. So much content to look forward to as well like the rest of the gen 3 and 4 tier lists as well as whatever else is being worked behind the scenes for us!

27:07 ‘guts related comments’ Pokémon challenges uses it because he does really difficult nuzlockes, he doesn’t have level advantages and is forced by circumstance to use these mediocre Pokémon, yet people conflate these ridiculous nuzlockes with standard playthroughs

Love that out of the best pokemon in the game, the only Johto mons are: starters, legendaries, a worse Tauros, and the god Heracross. No wonder my Johto teams always ended up looking like Kanto teams.

And it will still be hiding behind Ahhhhhhhhnix for the entire run because once it gets bailed out of Falkner and Bugsy, its niche of "wear down Miltank" gets jacked by Onix, too, then it's back to hiding behind Onix until they both get dumped in the Box for Raikou, Entei, and Red Gyarados.

I know Espeon isn't as good as Kadabra, but I like her so much that I use her anyway. And I can safely report that she has barely any trouble annihilating everything with psybeam/shadow ball.

Soul Silver is legitimately the best Pokemon game, for people that don't replace the dry battery in old cartridges this is the best way to enjoy the nostalgia of what was meant to be the end of pokemon. The rest of the series is a money grab of test gimmicks like humanoid designs

Oh man you guys got the clear pepsi in Japan!? Been wanting some more of that stuff for years.

On the topic of Magneton and Magnezone, you can only get Magnezone in Kanto by leveling up Magneton once at the power plant you get Zapdos after you defeat Red. This COULD be useful if you’re still planning on taking on Misty, Brock if you want some Magnet Pull cheese, Blue, and Red. Other than that though, Magneton is a decent option for the majority of the game.

Teambuilding options are great in HGSS...for people looking to make this easy game less easy (looking at you, Natural Gift Chikorita, Rocky the Onix, Friend Ball Crobat, Gen 4 Dunsparce...)

I’ll never understand GameFreak’s decisions when it comes to move pools, evolution levels, Stat Distributions and Pokémon availability. They did such a terrible job the first 4 generations. Take Venonat for example. It should have a higher BST since it’s evolution is so late. At least 480 with 110 Sp. ATK and 100 SPD. Also, it should definitely have been a Bug/Psychic type with access to Psychic upon evolution or level 37 or something. Imagine a Venomoth with Tinted Lens, a wide move pool, and decent Sp. Atk. It could have been a potential sweeper after a Quiver Dance. I wish that GF’s obsession and pandering with Gen 1 wasn’t limited to Pikachu, Eevee and Charizard. There are so many Pokémon that needed to be adjusted but didn’t get any love.

I've been speculating that as far as what gets time for development in a new pokemon game (and I could talk about how a lot of the game(s) don't necessarily get enough development time) but whatever does, it's probably move sets and stats that come in towards the end. like at least a few really outstanding mons probably get enough time to be made properly, and as the generation go on, more and more pokemon find it easier to get good basic moves due to expanding move sets, more moves and more tms. but I think in many generations, especially early, it'd be easy to imagine that nobody can necessarily sit down to look at what each pokemon has for stats, what moves best suit it for both power and for flavor, etc. plus so many are just damned to having bad bst that don't make them as good. so yeah, lots of pokemon are left out in the cold and it's much easier for players or fans of certain critters to see where that critter could have been done better.

Honestly I am playing HG blind rn, runaway quick attack rattata is perfect for me. Early game, switching in your pokemon to run for your slower pokemon is not even reliable, so I used it. It picked up some KOs when it used quickattack. Now at Goldenrod it's already an HM mule, all for the price of one slot.

From now on, I'm picking my teams from the low B's and high C's of your tier lists.

You can get some evolution stores from the Pokeathlon dome on certain days, and the stone choice opens up once you get the national dex. Togepi I would bump up higher since you can have a togekiss for the final third and Red.

C for Sandshrew is super accurate. It's the best for slamming Electric types ('cause it literally need no investment to do so), and is very blah at...everything else. The only reason it's so good at slamming Electrics is its convenient combination of Sand Attack, Electric Immunity and the fact that like no Electrics have any coverage in this game. If you are ever having issues with that Kimono Girl with the Jolteon, literally catch any ground type and you win 'cause she genuinely can't do anything against one (She only has Tbolt and Last Resort as attacking moves, and her AI will spam Last Resort first for some reason).
