Last time, I beat Pokemon Trading Card Game for the Game Boy Color using only Paras and Parasect. I sort of...took out some aggression on a trainer named Matthew, so it's time for me to BECOME Matthew and use only his Hard Pokemon Deck and beat the game.

@@remvaizor3522 You can save between matches in the Elite four in Red and Blue, but that doesn't mean you're supposed to. Obviously it doesn't really matter, but the idea is that you have to defeat four (or five) bosses in a row. More competitive players will attempt to do them all in a row without saving because it means you have to have a good team or play very well to get all the battles to go your way in a row. An inferior team could get through the four matches with saves by simply playing until the luck goes your way. Having the four (or five) matches in a row is a way of eliminating luck based strategies. Like I said, it doesn't actually matter. But the whole premise of having to battle the final bosses all in a row is to make luck a less viable strategy. In a contest like this (with only Parasect-line pokemon even against a fire boss), it certainly makes sense to save your time and sanity with saves.

I’m loving these TCG videos so much omg. I know content has a limit since there are so few Pokémon TCG video games released, but I’ll watch whatever challenges you cook up! I had an idea for one that I thought was interesting - beating the game using moves that only deal indirect damage, like cat punch on meowth. I’m not sure how many Pokémon actually have moves like that that don’t also deal direct damage, but it’s a thought!

@TheWispGuy 2 жыл бұрын

If you do future challenges, pack farming for the challenge cards can be greatly sped up with the DownA glitch, unless of course you want to play the matches for fun. If you aren't aware of the glitch, you just enter the check screen with 'select' during a duel. If you have bench pokemon, move the cursor to bench but stay on the overview screen, not the party screen. Otherwise, leave the cursor on your active pokemon. Then press 'down' and 'A' on the same frame. 50% of the time the match ends and you win. 50% of the time you get stuck in the party screen and need to press 'B' and then 'A' a frame later to redo the glitch.

Regarding Courtney's odd favor on switching Moltres, the AI was banking on Moltres' Fighting Resistance, so you couldn't take her down easily, even if her Pokèmon was fully powered. Odd to be sure, but sure as hell worked. And the Twice-Use Defender find was interesting! So it prevents damage from a self-damaging move from the Player's Turn _and_ prevents damage from opponent Pokèmon! I just found you recently and you're definitely one of those "Amazing And Underrated KZfaqrs Buried By The KZfaq Algorithm" channels. I'm subbing AND commenting so the algorithm overlords give you the alignment you utterly deserve. Cheers, man!

In your defense, The grand masters are cheating in the sense they are guaranteed to always have a copy of their legendary card in their opening hand, along with another basic to lead with. So I think it's fair to use game save state. Also out of curiosity, if you could rebuild Mathew's deck with the only restriction that you had to keep at least 1 unique copy from the original (have at least 1 geodude, onix, defender, potion, bill, etc...), What would it look like?

@VestedUTuber Жыл бұрын

It may not be the most legit way to do a challenge but I don't blame you for using savestates on this. I sometimes have trouble against the grand masters while running decks like DO THE WAVE, Haymaker, Rain Dance and Damage Sponge, so of course running something like Matthew's deck is going to be a nightmare.
