As he should, Oshawott is terrible. And you can call this bait if you want, I suffered through my brother's Black 2 game (having never played Black/White) just so we could get Move Tutors availability in X/Y... and he chose that wretched otter. I genuinely had to box that thing for a better water type because it couldn't perform a single good move. Thing was awful. I probably would have taken EITHER of the other two over it. And karma bit me in the ass and announced ORAS like.... a week or two after I finally completed the game - whining about how I wasn't having fun the whole time. (I've never cared for pokemon plots, and I didn't know what was going on, compounded on Black 2 being a genuine sequel, so people talked about things with a familiarity that I didn't have.) My tone might change now about the games (having seen RT's playthroughs) and being older than I was then, but I don't think I will about the Oshawott line.

RT getting mega ring on *floor 2* in that first run was crazy, shame he never got to see how megas actually work in this game, making them a permanent toggleable evolution was a cool touch by the way, RT, there are only 200 floors in classic mode, you're almost 3/4 there and the finale is pretty cool, definitely finish the run if possible (and only if you want to) also we love (hate) to see Ivy spiraling into insanity just trying to get her best friend back, slowly becoming the same victory-obsessed trainer she tried to stop us from being :(

I watched RTGame play this on stream about a week ago. I enjoyed it so much that I got addicted to it and spent most of my time since then playing this game. I just beat Classic Mode for the first time last night, and the relief I felt was immense. In the words of Rival Ivy: "I'm not sure whether to thank or hate you" for this beautiful pain you've caused me, RT.

Skeledirge carries. You can easily get a win on your first run with Skeledirge+Meowscarada+any good water (I usually use Mudkip for coverage and mega potential). Then, pray for a map and then route to anywhere Nacli is before 145, because Garganacl is broken. If you want to make the final boss a joke, find something that can learn Soak, bring it in on the recharge turn to make the final boss Water, and Salt Cure will kill him in 5 turns
I have basically no knowledge of Pokémon, but there’s something very satisfying about watching RT flex his Pokémon skills
Ivy kinda scares me compared to Finn, their choice of obsessive rival writing is pretty neat, reminds me of an alternate take to Kieran. Started playing this game after watching Dan. Hope the devs enjoy building on this cool fan game.

I love this game, some fun challenge I like to do is trying to beat this game with one pokemon type or nuzlocking it. The nuzlock rule is basically if they die they die, you mentally note the name of every pokemon you catch(you can't name them), and your encounter is the the pokemon on the first floor of every 10 floor (1, 11, ect). if you want to make it harder you can make it every boss pokemon is your encounter♪︎
Please finish the run Dan this video was such a fun watch

I love the dichotomy of these opponents. Smart and omniscient enough to switch pokemon out when you want to land a super effective attack, but still as stupid as typical Pokemon opponents when it comes to something so common sense as using a quick, damaging attack when the player has a fielded pokemon on the verge of fainting.
