I love silent mutual understandings online, just builds a sense of fun cooperation and humor

I thought everyone did that

That's why he's the true Hoenn Champion

He the true champion after all

steven is my favorite champion just because of how he's just a guy who likes rocks who just happens to have a pretty crazy team and (except in emerald) be the champion

​@@dashingclasheryeah Steven is my favorite champion. I respect Cynthia cuz she's like a post game player and she is solid, and Leon is an awesome guy that is genuinely an amazing person and it's impossible to not love him. But Steven. He isn't "special", he is a steel type specialist, he loves rocks (so do I), and he wanders around doing shit he likes. Oh and he's strong AF

Steven is a legend, i'm happy to share my name with him. Best champion for sure!

The CPU with the casual 1v3 win

@@doomse150 that's steel types in a nutshell right there

I was looking for this comment.

ok

ruby or sapphire would have destroyed smant, steven 1v2 champion battle would be actually insane

Ive noticed that too, he's way to chill with his pokemon fainting, I think it's slipping his mind that they don't get experience when they're fainted

Whenever I fight trainers (usually the gym leaders) and a Pokémon I want to level dies, I always try to go for a revive while using a higher leveled Pokémon to take the hit. It’s good to try to at least keep them alive if you have xp share, because grinding wild Pokémon battles takes forever for farming xp. If Ant weren’t so lax about faints, he wouldn’t have been so underleveled for all of these gym fights and would’ve had an easier time

He should just use rare candies and play with level caps. Like most challengers do.

@Conquest no chat only said no items in battle items outside of battle were never excluded (unless something saying that in the vod was cut out of the video)

@Conquest they also said he couldn’t use the rayquaza :(

Soon we'll see "pokemon soul silver but I can only use cut" or somethin😂

@@spoof2062 don’t give him idea

All hail Atsign

Just you wait until the Ruby worst luck video

Pokemon Crystal, but I have received a bullet wound and must beat the game before I bleed to death

at least he finished with 69 whiteouts [nice]

I'm sure it was Rival. Because that Wurmple was the first double battle, which means either he lost to Rival... or a single minor NPC.

@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 no thanks weirdo

ok

shush

Similarly to why some Pokémon kept using ground moves when there was only a flying type on the field… whatever that “empty” slot is, apparently the game doesn’t see it as being immune to ground

@@snuffysam it might've been on the VOD comments that people suggested it was the classic invisible shiny bulbasaur?

@@altariamotives3158 I think it is more likely to be a ?????????? whose texture got removed/replaced by a blank texture

@@skyeplaysgames4598 yeah, iirc that has the same (albeit hidden) features as a lv0 shiny bulbasaur

No that specific spinda is bugged and try’s to reapply confusion on confused pokemon. It’s actually really annoying for speed runners.

short term memory loss he should get that checked out he has that a lot

he _is_ confused tbf

ok

You say "every way" but clearly you ain't winning awards for that _delightful_ personality of yours.

@Bia Tch Me going through my brain to find when I asked

Well, 90% of the trainers in Gen 5 only run one Pokemon, and another 9% only have two. There's only a small handful of trainers that actually have three Pokemon, and only half a dozen who have more than three.

@@Celestia282 that seems made up

@@RRRR-jr1gp The percentages, probably. But I think during the base game only the rivals, Elite 4, and the two final bosses have 4 or more pokemon.

@@Celestia282 the last time i saw ant modding genV, he did it on blaze black 2 and volt white 2, where the trainers are rebalanced

I'll do you one better, rotation battles!

Yeah I feel like Tentacruel and Crobat occupy a similar space where people are so annoyed by constantly seeing tentacool/zubat in water/caves that they don’t give them the time of day bc they’re so common and seen as a nuisance, so they get underestimated when they are actually very strong mons

Love tentacruel and crobat in nuzlockes

@@keghan4824 crobat cool tho, and has good usage for it's stats

Yeah, Tentacruel occupies something of a similar role to Crobat. They're both weirdly good evolved forms of really common Pokémon. At the end of the day, being rare is meaningless.

ok

Damn thats cool

I did not! Thank you muchly.

Wow. After all these years.

seriously?? I feel.. actually stupid now LOL

@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 yes

Ikr twitch chat is very original and creative

It's the culture, gotta do it

@I ah, yes, the twitch gentlemen, the working class, the adults. Yes. Definetely not children using the prime subscription from their family amazon account

@I I mean twitch is free to watch, subscriptions aren't mandatory.

We all come together for something stupid but regardless it was funny

Get a crit get a crit GET A CRIT

Yep I agree

Yeah that shit was hilarious. Exactly what I do lmao

That can't happen, as Pokemon has no mechanics for battles larger than 3v3 onfield.

@@Telogor 1v5 is possible in gen 6 because of horde encounters

Its nice !

STOP TEETER DANCING

i like it

I think claydols earthquake didnt freeze the game because it didnt hit smant's pokemon

@@thomasc9248It already is

​​​@@thomasc9248 ,,its impressive how smallant wills good things to happen to him based on a random number generator"

The one he kept mentioning is Earthquake, which isn't one of those moves.

What's everyone eating

@@perfectworldbeholder right now, I'm eating lunch (rice and vegetables)

@@perfectworldbeholder I’m eating breakfast, a ham sandwich

I think the real reason for this change is so that the opponents spread moves only target smallant, and not the invisible level 0 pokemon beside him. Just a limitation of the mod I suppose.

@I **Snotty Nerd Sniff** Um, ackshually, it's Pokémon, not pokemon. **Snotty Nerd Sniff CD** And also, the plural of Pokémon is **Snotty Nerd Sniff 2** still just Pokémon. **Snotty Nerd Sniff 3 & Knuckles**

@@frostyclouded Because that's the point.

@@bookswithbek2702 sorry, i assumed you were trying to be funny/satirical because otherwise your comment would add literally nothing to this thread. but i guess for some reason that was your goal, in which case you succeeded

@@frostyclouded Eh, it's understandable, the only reason I used the snotty nerd sniffs was to already satirize myself so nobody could call me a nerd without being redundant, while also being a grammar/spelling nazi.

Noah don't you have the funds and the programmers to commission your own pokemods 🤨

Basically every battle is a 1v2.

wdym Steven carried the team Magma double battle

Technically no, it is not like having an NPC trainer partner that "spams healing moves at full HP". If that was the case, any opponent that uses a move like Surf on him would always deal half damage. This is a specific mechanic that was added with the implementation of Double Battles / Multi-Battles in Gen 3, though this damage reduction won't apply to moves like Earthquake (likely to make such moves a bit less desirable, as you may end up KOing your own side with a full power attack). This was changed in Gen 4, where any move that can hit multiple targets, regardless of if it can hit your ally or not, does 25% less damage if it targets more than one Pokemon (thus, applying to moves like Earthquake). Also, moves like Outrage would occasionally "do nothing", as it would target the useless partner instead of him. Edit: Actually, seeing as they for some reason changed Surf to not be spread. Maybe that spread comment is worth ignoring, as I imagine they did similarly with all of them. Edit2: Never mind. I guess they actually did make it so you have an invisible partner that just does nothing. Otherwise Magnitude and Perish Song wouldn't occasionally shatter reality.

@@trainershade1937 r/wooosh

every fight is a double battle with you and the solrock guy in sword and shield

It's a folding bike. They did make some effort to justify that one even if it's still a bit implausible.

He rarely uploads compared to how often he streams, and it's really annoying when you don't watch Twitch at all.

Dunno if I'd call missing a health recovery move or a set up move tiny aspects, those are both pretty important for making stall mons viable without items.

@@cowsanonymous just because there stall doesn't mean it's necessary, they both have things they have they can use to make them useful

@@erniehines claydol has good type coverage with its STAB moves but I wouldn't call it a tank without recover given that the latter half of emerald is chalk full of amazing water types and a dark type E4 member. It needs both to be a good tank. I don't think cradilily offers much, tbh. I think ingrain is pretty mid without leftovers recov on top of that.

@@cowsanonymous Cradily has more than enough bulk without a setup move thanks to Ingrain, it’s natural bulk, and its good defensive typing, while Claydol is a naturally bulky Pokémon with decent damage and would’ve been particularly useful at the psychic gym, where it resists all of their attacks bar Solar Beam, and can learn Solar Beam for itself as well as Shadow Ball, both TM that are available before even Lilycove City.

@@Solanne11 Decent damage?? shadow ball is a physical move better given to other teammates and cradily learns no STAB offensive move other than ancientpower, which isn't even special in this gen. Ingrain is also honestly pretty awful because of how it locks you in. It has a special attack stat of 71, which is pretty mediocre at best, making solarbeam pretty mid. Shedninja with toxic is the strongest stall mon in singleplayer pokemon. Ant made a good call.

His nonexistent partner has a speed of 0 so all other Pokémon on the field died first, and since the nonexistent Pokémon didn’t get die the game didn’t crash

@@mythicalterapin9674 Except it did crash the first time (so the speed theory seems incorrect as it outsped something that time somehow, or speed is irrelevant), while second time it seemed to not even be targeted.

@@feha92 that time Winona had switched her Pokémon so the Pokémon out didn’t have perish counts

Swampert is Ground, not Rock. Also that’s 3 Flying typed he had at the end.
