The canon is that you just have a full team of REALLY good dittos.

“You suck good bro” “Definitely missing a word in there” LOL

How is Atsign so good at making mods. The real MVP

Just imagine that whole time we were selecting a starter for 1 battle, Prof Birch was being chased around by the zigzagoon

Honestly, it's such a flex to beat a trainer with their EXACT same team setup... Smallant out there just roasting the entirety of the Hoenn region in this one 😂

I’m so used to youtubers guilt tripping their fans for only wanting one type of content from them that it was kinda refreshing to hear Ant just say nah dude everybody does that just watch what you wanna watch it’s not a big deal

People don't tend to think about the Battle Frontier when doing challenges like this, but I honestly think it might be a lot of fun trying it with this mod on.

A sequel to this challenge. Mirror matches, but pokemon are randomized.

Imagine spending your life training your team of Pokemon, pouring your heart and soul into your team, learning, and bonding with them... Then some kid comes in with the exact same team and beats you.

I love how I thought this was recent until he started talking about the upcoming Bowser's Fury release

"We can get softlocked so easily!" Yeah man, shadow tag wobbuffet with leftovers. "What if our pokemon can't learn the HM's?!" ... Seems more likely yeah.

There is a bug catcher in Petalburg Woods that has a Nincada, if you rematch him (I don't know if it has to be multiple times or not), he has a team of Ninjask and Shedinja. As a kid, I lost to him, since I didn't have a single super effective move, and thought I just kept missing. But like, you'd never run into them during a challenge run, or even most casual playing

“The question becomes: Does R A L L Y already have a Ralts?” I died

I love when people try to questions SmAnts knowledge on Pokemon and make blatantly false claims like, "An Elite 4 member has a Shedinja." Like, are these people serious or just fooling around.

That hunch on how he blew up is accurate. Never heard of smallant until Mandjtv reacted to Platinum no damage run. Now I’m listening to this guy constantly. No complaints

I really appreciate how ant handled the "you suck bro" comment. Very mature and even forgiving :) didn't ban them. Just called em out, said hey that's not ok. And that was that:)) If you see this ant, you're a good person and I appreciate you :) very emotionally mature, and I'd even say you're a good role model for those watching you.

"Are you smarter and luckier than the AI", the game.

He is a Ditto that became so strong that it now imitates everyone's pokemon and disguises himself as a trainer

My favorite part was about 10mins in when smallant realized what he got himself into

"They should make food type pokemon" 1:39:54 "I always wanted to eat a Gardevoir". Expected. Not disappointed.

I feel this challenge would be so much fun in Emerald Kaizo, with all the crazy teams in that game

I love how he said, "why do we need a poll for a starter?" And then shortly after some story, had a poll for a starter.

HMs will be confusing but should be manageable since zigzagoon is everywhere and learns so many HMs. Getting to the elite four might be a challenge though...

I would love to see a battle frontier run of this mod done by SmallAnt. I think that it could be an impressive challenge to do and to see all the strategies you'd come up with.

About that ditto thing around 57 minute, transform does work but only on the real ditto, basically faster ditto transforms into the other ditto and the slower ditto fails while trying to transform, this way the faster ditto is stuck with those 5 pp of transform while slower one can fail 10 times and then use struggle, one of the rare scenerios when you wanna be slower I guess (it works this way in LF/FR and I don't know about other gens)

“Can a ditto transform into a ditto?” *looks over at Pikasprey*

Banning the guy saying the elite four had a shedninja would have been hilarious

That Seedot Bide+Astonish really had me laughing for a while, I also didn't know it did that but it was mad funny

I love listening to theses when I do my homework

I love that one dude that said "sobble" when you were picking a starter

I love listening to these while at work. Im currently halfway through the Pokemon but only shinys vods. I know i found you after MandJTV did a reaction to your platinum no damage run. Then i started watching your videos. Then i made a twitch to follow you and pointcrow. Who i found through you from your BOTW bingo videos. Thank you for making your content. It's very satisfying to listen to and participate.

This is just 4 hours of Ant arguing with Chat.

When he starts astonishing his own seedot AFTER noticing that you can't choose the target with bide 😭

On the topic of Zelda speedrun: "it's just a matter of time" That is indeed how a speedrun works. 😬

Ant: everything will be mirrored Chat: will the Pokémon be the same?

The Ditto thing. Ditto can Transform into Ditto, but you can't transform into a transformed Pokemon. So if two Dittos duke it out, whichever Ditto goes first will eternally Transform into the opposing Ditto, since Transform's PP will keep getting reset, whereas whichever Ditto goes second will fail to Transform because the first Ditto is considered a Ditto transformed into a different Ditto, causing the second Ditto to eventually run out of PP and begin to Struggle.

When he said there should be a food type I definitely didn’t expect what came of that statement.

Tanner is such a nice guy, really like listening to his videos while I work

Found you through Pokémon and I really hope you continue making Pokémon challenges, it’s rough waiting so long for a Pokémon video but I’ll always tune in when there is one. Appreciate your work.

I enjoy your voice, your personality and watching you just step all over pretty much any game you touch lol

Only 40 min in, but i think you might as well just make it so that any pokemon can learn any HM. It would prevent soft-locking, and the real challenge here is having the same team as your opponent, not trying to make sure you have certain pokemon for HMs at any given time.

A wild speed run strat is in the beginning when first talking to may, if you go into her room(upstairs) then u can go down stairs and she will come up to you. So u don't need to go talk to the pokeball

Oh my god... The load and seedot killing each other was hilarious. I laughed so hard.

Platinum No Damage might've been the first video by you that I saw, though I've seen your earlier Pokemon challenges as well so I'm 100% on the order. Probably was a case of the KZfaq algorithm for me.

I come from your other youtube channel and I am surprised that I enjoy your stream content. I am normally more into shorter videos, like 1 hour MAX, but this is very entertaining and I like having it play in the background. Subscribed :)

I love interesting smallant pokemon challenges they really help me relax when I get off work

Makuhita is also a food Pokemon, definitely looks like bao

Loving these vods, getting me through this quarantine while I wait for my covid results

I’m only a minute in but I love how Ant is just like “Meh, I dunno how this’ll work. We’ll see.” I bet it’s a fun element for viewers of the stream. ^^

With how much ant threw the fight, Norman really had no excuse to lose.

Every day this guy amazes me more and more, hope u never stop ur content, as always its hilarious !!!! thanks so much!

Smallant needs to do this again, but with the benefits of Badge Boosts removed for true mirror matches

2:42:30 Two hours after Roxanne's Gym, the Geodudes are barely 6 levels higher.

Looking back at it, I’ve been here for a long time. But only on the KZfaq side. If not two years, it has to be like a year and a half. And it’s been a blast.

best part of the sound discussion at 2:05:00 is that the voltorb was quiet nature

Pokemon games be like "pokemon are your friends". Pokemon people who play pokemon games be like "I wonder what my pokemon would taste like"

Norman's Gym might be the most frustrating for this playthrough because of the weird Pokemon teams.

So excited for the upcoming release of bowser’s fury a few months ago!!!

I have been binge watching all the pokemon playthroughs in their entirety while doing my school work. I love it

This is also technically a Nuzlocke, because any Pokemon that dies is never used again.

He should have done this in Pokémon platinum so he had Cynthia’s OP garchomp

Lol. Can't believe that 4:20 clock setting flew over everyone's head.

Sonicboom is the sound generated by the shock waves a physical object creates when surpassing the speed of sound. Key words being "shock waves"... windows and walls cant hear sound... they still break when hit by the shock waves related to a sonicboom. And.... Shock wave as in "wave of electricity" Shock wave as in "compressional wave caused by a shock" .... shock as in "a violent shaking movement caused by an impact, explosion, or tremor"

The move thunder is described as a lightning strike when it's named after the sound caused by lightning... Don't question it

So this basically amounts to luck with speed ties and bad AI

I appreciate how you handle chat a lot.

1:26:40 ish I happen to be swedish. And you can indeed gamble and bet and buy lottery tickets etc. However, our government has a monopoly on all of these things, and the casinos are all ran by the authority of gambling. Most bars has some slot machines and/or black jack tables in the respective venues, but in order to have these you'll need permits and it is usually limited to 6 or 8 slot machines and 2 poker tables. So yeah, it is not something that is outlawed if you would, but there is indeed many regulations. Cheers, Ant! I love this video so far! :)

Fun fact theres a shedinja at the battle tower, i remember cause i didnt know what it was as a kid and it wiped my team

"They don't get my team, I get their team" ahhh ok, my thoughts were the same as chat, I thought the challenger was a mirror of YOUR team Edit: the titles and description make it more confusing and contradict yourself, if you somehow see this I hope you can edit it to better clarify please

everytime i go to bed i watch your videos, it just make me sleep better. Today it came just before i got to bed! thank you!

Small ant: I wonder what it's like to bash rocks together until one breaks. 35:00

Pokémon with only one pp per move would be difficult

Love your work SmallAnt, thanks for the uploads

Not really a *true* mirror match unless it's on set mode.

9:52 man I'm gonna say it again: SmallAnt is a MONSTER!! A TITAN!! I haven't continued watching yet, but I think he would be playing this a 100% mirror. Meaning I hope Key Items don't get lost later, because everything usable in this game is now limited as well.

NPC who defeats player : You are weak! Player : I am you...

I lost it the second time he lost to Lady Cindy and her Zigzagoon. I don't understand how the chat didn't react to that, she prompted a lot of whiteout counter requests earlier in the stream!

I never understood the beginning of this game; you move into a new house just to leave home as a Pokemon trainer and you arrive in the back of the moving van for some reason

that spark range after hitting 10s every other time 😂

2:37:04 odds are significantly less than that, a la "birthday paradox"

20 minutes in, I'm wondering if he'll realize he can buy repels and then put them in the PC. Same with putting pokemon in the PC in situation where he'll need to take them out to teach them some HM

An interesting completionist run in Sapphire or Ruby would be getting as much of the Pokedex filled out as possible. You'd need to deposit Pokemon in the PC maybe? Pickup should still activate after battles vs/with zigzagoons.

I only watch you smallant for your Pokémon challenges. They are so entertaining!

Sheesh. That live stream was lots of fun. Please keep continuing to entertain us. I love your channel :)

Never watched a live but he seems a lot nicer in his videos. Seems rude here.

Accordion to a recent study, 90% of the people didn’t realize i put an instrument at the start of this sentence (now I want my like)

the gym leaders aren't testing you, you are testing them! they must face themselves in combat

It looks like he has an advantage over the AI. He had the badge boosts, ai doesn't

He never fails to disappoint!

the twitch chat is so stupid...

I love the part where a bunch of people who clearly know absolutely nothing about game theory try to school him on chess game theory. It’s equal parts hilarious and infuriating.

It's "stop hitting yourself" the pokemon game

This takes Team Preview to a whole new level.

WOW! Don't know how many times I've played this, must be in the hundreds... And I've NEVER seem that hidden Hyper Potion right before Fallarbor Town...

It took 20 mins for me to notice this is a vod not a normal video

Oh, a vod before/without a corresponding video, sweet!

babe wake up new smallant challenge run vod

I know I'd be getting frustrated having to explain it like 8 times to chat right at the beginning

I've been playing this video for 2 hours while i play and just now noticed it's a vod

Absolutely loving your content.
