2. No items in battle, except held items
3. No glitches, exploits, save states, or RNG manipulation
4. No evasion moves before level 100*
Rule details:
-- *In gen1, evasion boosting is allowed if the Pokemon does it through means other than learning the move by level up or TM. For example, using Mimic or Mirror Move to boost evasion is allowed. (This exception is to keep ranking consistent with my legacy videos.)
-- I am allowed to manipulate my starter
-- I play the game at 4x game speed
-- For fair comparisons all my Pokemon have perfect (or near perfect) DVs / IVs

-- In generation 1, I'm allowed to skip Marowak with the Poke Doll
-- Surge's trash-can-puzzle is automatically solved
-- The bike is allowed in gen1, banned in gen2, and allowed for bypassing terrain in gen3
-- Saving between league members is allowed
-- If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter
-- I can pause the game and timer to take breaks
-- The footage is sped up / slowed down to match the pace of my narration
-- The ability Pickup can only be used if the starter has it

On the whole "Rock not resisting Rock" thing, have you ever noticed that the physical types don't resist themselves, with the exception of steel and poison, while all the special types do with the exception of dragon? Also great work Scott as always and Thank you all his supporters.

@ZerglingOne1 Жыл бұрын

@@projectgarchomp2380 Rocks can break other rocks and often do, fighters fight each other with no loss off effectiveness, animals headbutt and body slam each other all the time, earthquakes break the ground all the time along fault lines, birds like falcons are predators to other birds, ghosts make sense that they'd be super effective against each other, bugs kill each other all the time just like birds. Now let's look at poison, it makes some sense that poison resists itself since humans can get resistant to poison via mithridatism. Poison resists poison because it's somewhat immune. Steel makes some sense too, since it's pretty hard to really damage steel even with steel, but it is possible. It all kinda makes sense, but it's also weird and leads to weird things like having a rock and ground move will give you perfect 1x or better coverage since ground doesn't resist ground and rock doesn't resist rock.

Corsola always felt like a Pokemon that was just "there" - so it was interesting to see your play through with it like this!

@JaharNarishma Жыл бұрын

It is a defensive Pokémon so it isn't the hype Pokémon. However, it's best stats are worse than the good Pokémon's "meh" stats. The base stat total is awful. I tried using it when I was a wee lad that wanted to learn all there was to know. Corsola isn't fun to use as a defensive Pokémon because it isn't strong enough. I like the typing but that's not enough. Meganium is more fun, as are Forretress and Mantine. Even Miltank does a better job at being a tank despite being a Speed specialist.

@justinsims655 Жыл бұрын

The way I feel about Corsola depends on the vantage point. If you imagine a rock type gaining the water type, it's generally an improvement. If you imagine a water type gaining the rock type, it's a downgrade. So Corsola is kind of like when a kid's mom mixes their favorite food with a healthier but disliked food for dinner lol.

As a question, is there any combo that neutralizes the weaknesses of Rock type enough?

@justinsims655 Жыл бұрын

@iantaakalla8180 Ya know, I don't think there is a good combination now that you ask. For example, even steel wouldn't cover the water weakness. But what makes rock truly bad--in a way that, say, ground is not--is that it has no good offensive options. It peaks midgame at Ancientpower, and in this gen you don't get the boost when you one-shot.

Most likely all you want for them to use it is just for them to give credit to you for making the overlay in the video and their description. I think this will be a great addition to the pokemon challenge community for a very long time. Im sure everyone in the community is grateful and looking forward to the overlays youre creating for other generations as well. If i see someone else using it i promise i wont leave nasty comments or anything like that as you requested. Great job, great vid and see ya next time.

Probably why I've become so interested in this channel in particular since most of your videos revolve around those games

Glad to hear the overlay is now available to more players to get started on their own challenges for gen 1. I might give it a go sometime in the near future. Thank you to the Patrons for helping Scott not only develop the software but also giving the means for him to continue doing this as his job. Fantastic video and I am not surprised by Corsola's performance. It is similarly built like Meganium but is equipped with water and rock attacks. Though I wonder why it doesn't get access to Rock Throw... I think it would've been able to get ahead to Rival 2 a little faster if it started with Water Gun as it does in gen 9 at level 5 when bubble was removed entirely. But if it had Rock Slide (since it is an egg move) I think it could plow through the first two gyms and the tower no problem. Though most adorably in Pokémon Silver its sprite is waving at you when facing against you. But I think with the software I will try and make Seel a slightly better Pokémon to use in Gen 1 by having it start right away with Headbutt and Aurora Beam. And by that extent Dewgong since I think that evolution line is my favorite for the water types available.

I enjoy the light blue and pink theming for comparing the metrics at the end. That was a nice touch ^.^ This was a fun video! I can't say Corsola has ever truly been a favorite of mine but it's definitely been a Pokemon I've liked at the very least, and to see it get a good time is always nice. Like sure its not exactly competing with a lot of the fully evolved Pokemon but I'm not sure anyone expected it to. There's definitely something to be said for its style of play too since it has access to Recover, a move a lot of Pokemon do not have.

@SquallLionhart409 Жыл бұрын

The functionality should be there already, as the overlay displays how many vitamins can be used, which is based on EVs/stat experience. Something to note, Gen 3 introduced EVs as we generally understand them today. Gen 1 and 2 have stat experience. You gain stat experience equal to the base stats of whatever you knock out. This means that if you aren't battling pokemon that are VERY lopsided, you generally gain all stats decently well. Notably, you can max out ALL stats as well. Due to this, I am unsure how much actually seeing your stat experience would help, especially when the amount of EXP gained would also be a significant consideration.

For any wondering how much having bad DVs affect a pokemon, Corsola with perfect stats at level 100 has 208 attack. With 12 in its attack DV, it drops all the way to 202. Its HP drops from 313 to 297 going down to 7 in its HP DV. Speed DVs are super impactful in competitive, where something like a 9 in speed means a perfect Slowbro outspeeds Corsola (30 vs 35 base speeds) but should matter much less in the "campaign" playthroughs.
