What the Ultra games should have been, honestly. The plotline itself would have been fine if it acted as a continuation from the previous games, but they made it an alternate universe with the same character/general events and just... Meh.

HGSS and ORAS?

@@demonking-zm3rs They are good game in their own right. But they dont expand or change the reigon. Time hasn't passed and the plot is mostly a repeat

​@@demonking-zm3rsbasically the same as Ultra, the gap was just bigger.

@@demonking-zm3rs I can forgive those for being the games to later audiences... The Ultra games were marketed as 'sequels' without being true sequels.

I care but most of it is locked behind dead wifi or needing both versions or timed events.

A nuz-let’s play

It's honestly astonishing the amount of stuff they put in this game, but lack in future titles. I never really cared too much for Black/White 1 myself, so I thought Black/White 2 would be more the same. Hindsight is 20/20 really. It's a shame this level of effort never got the appreciation it deserved.

I still don’t care about half the features but at least I know about them

Honestly that's what I love with Dan, he's got a genuine love for video games and he always tries to share it

And then it turned around towards the end of the game where he was able to get through the Elite Four and Champion with most of his team surviving.

Yet still only Grief remained.

don’t forget the adoption

What about RT's career as a wedding officiant and him marrying two people on stream

New goal: RT grandparents

Now we just need a divorce on stream

@@hinatafreakazoid cant wait for the dougdoug collab

honestly the manga kinda did these games dirty way too short

I feel Hugh doesn't get enough credit and just gets meme'd on as the guy finding his nameless sister's Pokémon. He was willing to do exactly what the protagonists do without their plot armour, take down the main villains of the game. I feel it says a lot that he already had a Pokémon and could've left whenever he wanted but he left with the player, he knew he couldn't do it alone and was counting on us from the beginning. He knows the pain of losing a Pokémon and what it does to someone, so he's very determined to stop it happening again, to the point where he'll lecture others about caring for their Pokémon. He also goes through the 'not everything is black and white' character development as he comes to accept not all members of Team Plasma were 'evil' and some genuinely wanted to help Pokémon. The fact that he's found at Team Plasma's home in the postgame for daily battles says a lot about how he's been able to forgive the members of Team Plasma. Also not showing Hugh punching the Team Plasma grunt in the highlights is a crime. XD

@@grenien4109 its understandable if you know how it was made, given it was running alongside the other adventures manga as a webcomic iirc, and was sparsely updated in comparison theres way too many pokemon games for kusaka and yamamoto to be able to adapt otherwise which sucks

Pokemon Adventures manga makes almost every character in pokemon likeable though. Like who the hell remembers Yellow if it weren't for the fantastic characterizations they did with the manga.

@@cyncynshop yellow isn’t even real outside the manga lmao

If I had a nickel for every time grief was the sole survivor of a final battle I would have 2 Nickles which isn't a lot but its weird that it happend twice

​@@zapatron1939it's stressful is what it is

Even luckier when you consider that since Grief was on such low health, the AI opts for a completely random attacking move (it wouldn’t have gone for Thunder Wave since Grief was paralysed, but idk if a Pokemon could go for that in another scenario). So the odds of Togekiss going for Air Slash (the only of Togekiss’ three attacks that can miss) is 1/3, the odds of Air Slash missing being 1/20 and then Grief not getting paralysed being 3/4. So the odds of Grief surviving is 1/80, or 1.25% Edit: Grief is a Ghost type, so the Togekiss wouldn’t have ever gone for ExtremeSpeed or Aura Sphere, so the maths isn’t as accurate as initially depicted, but I’ll keep it there because

You should see what he just posted recently lmao

Her theme is still incredible. So uplifting and joyful 🎉🎉🎉

Her theme is just insane 😄

the theme is one of the best in the game imo, Hers, Colress, Alders and then the PWT themes are incredible. Just such a great and uplifting soundtrack. Im so glad RTgame has shown the internet just how good gen 5 is and was when it came out.

she's great but that haxorus why

To be fair it’s a huge time sink to level lillipup at the point he was at

@@MultiZernezCounterpoint: He is also playing a nuzlocke. Even if he didnt get it high, anything would of been better than level 4-5. It’s fine tho since it was pretty funny lol

@@MultiZernez And Riolu and Mareep wouldn't have been?

@@MultiZernezriolu would be an even bigger one. Riolu’s starting moveset sucks and you need to grind it to like lvl 13 to get force palm and even then, it will evolve later than lillipup so you have a worse early-mid game. Only thing lucario does better than other fighting and steel types is being a fast mixed attacker with setup moves for both special and physical but sword dance all the way basically. And stoutland has stab return, fire fang, ice fang and an optional move for very good coverage. Return minces non rock and steels and fire fang minces the steels. Steel is also a not good offensive typing especially for lucario as fighting covers all of steel’s useful offensive traits. Sure if you need a fighting type. Riolu is your best bet no doubt for accessibility. I used it on my first playthrough but I was babying it alot while heck I got azumaril earlier and it outperformed for a good chunk of the game due to huge power.

Chandelure NEEDS to be in more fan art with dan now. Whimsicott, Cupcake, Crumpet, Grief, Typhlosion, Samurott and Dr. Hoo would make for a great piece. Maybe add in Big Bertha too

I absolutely second this, it broke my heart a little rewatching the Arceus series but I'm glad the true friend was the Oshawott we found along the way

​@@sheenpailovesu7841 it's the RT BW2 experience

@@sheenpailovesu7841 i mean most people dont talk highly of things they dont like thats not really how opinions work (also its pokemon who cares what cartoon critter is your favorite, design preferences are the most subjective thing in the world behind music taste)

To be fair, he also picked Oshawott in a run where pokemon can die.

@@invurret9533 And even in B/W where he still hated Oshawott he used Mistake all the way. In a Nuzlocke, the starters you *don't* consider are more telling. After all, you need something reliable, especially early-game. Anti-Wott RT still knew Oshawott was king. I half expected RT to get Correct killed as a bit, but no turns out the character development is genuine. Love to see it.

I can't recall 100% how it went (It's been a loooong time tbf), but I cleared all the World leaders with a max speed/ max spe attack EV Gengar with a Focus Sash. First poke you attack it normally, killing it in two turns (while breaking your sash from its attack), and then you use Destiny Bond on the second 'mon. Then you go 2v1 on the last one. I remember that I also went with a Choice Specs Starmie for its BoltBeam coverage. Can't remember the 3rd mon. You can even clean with Gengar sometimes, OHKO'ing the first mon and then do the strats on the 2nd and 3rd mon. Hope it helps if you want to try it :) hahah

Doesn't help that having streetpass 3DS features active keeps the timer ticking up.

This would be true if I didn't exclusively play it on the DS

Me who was there for every stream: yeah totally

​@@user-fc1kv7oy1c as someone who hasnt seen any of them i cant wait for this deathless playthrough :)

Of course, considering the protagonist's name, there's guaranteed to be Success ... One way or the other

Can’t wait for RT to risk his entire team in the final battle to troll the chat like the last nuzlocke

I'm sure it will be deathless apart from a few toe stubbings

What’s the longest video you’ve ever seen?

@@zephra1675 they watched “lofi beats to study with” in its entirety. No breaks

It's pretty neat since it's implies they can copy things so well even down to the vocal cords.

Yeah it’s smooth because he lost all his pokemon at the end with the only pokemon that survived named grief

@@MultiZernez I think he means the main bulk of that run compared to Success's run. Failures run was very smooth right until the final bosses where he still clutched up. Success kept losing good team members in crucial battles and kept having to replace them. Failure only had to do that like once or twice until the end.

I think the interpretation here is “She was successful because she could accept her losses”

to be fair Dan threw Shitface in so it would die against N. He basically made the last battle in White a 12 vs 5.

Then in Cynthia's fight, Success succeeded when Failure could not. The full runs may be inverse but the ending stayed true

Yeah I agree

Gladion,blue,silver,and Hugh Though they may put up aggressive fronts at first half want to see you succeed and the others want to grow as people

​@@strangevol5264 Exactly. People really exaggerate how much of a jerk Blue was. He was snarky, yes. And at the beginning of the game he was being a bit of a jerk, but over the course of the game he starts to be a lot more of a friendlier rival after recognizing your abilities as a trainer, while still thinking he was the stronger trainer. Silver was just an edgy jerk who never warmed up to you, and even at his friendliest he's still not that nice to talk to

Silver blows him out of the water IMO

@@NinjaPickle no? Silver had actual backstory and character growth that continues in media outside of heart gold and soul silver. His growth is amazing if you pay attention

It's all fun and games until you steal a child's pokemon. Team grunt: *steals a funny little cat* Hugh: "So you have chosen death."

The only thing Team Plasma will be catching is Hugh's hands.

Through Paralysis too. Simply amazing

Idk man, I feel like Grief deserves a nice retirement after such a stressful existence 😅

As another commenter said, Grief can retire in peace and change their name to Acceptance.

Grief is in S/V now! :D

Send Grief against Wally, Mustard, Nemona, Kieran, Cyrano, make him know true fear

Especially in gen 5.

I reckon it could work well for the rising tensions from gym 3 onwards, with the final villain fight after gym 8 having them realise that it isn't actually worthwhile joining them because the evil team can't actually help your rival grow strong enough, so they just leave after stealing the obligatory Master Ball and disappear till the champion takes you to the hall of fame. You're just about to get your data recorded when you hear them shouting wait, and challenging you to one last battle, with the second legendary and a team that might be just a touch competitive, maybe just a little.

But you are always beating the evil team too

We had such similar experiences ! I used my emboar all the way, I got the 3 legendary Pokemon on the main routes as part of the story and one more but was unaware of just how much post game there is to this. Wish I could understand pokemon now to enjoy it again
