One of the funniest things I've seen during a game, was some unfortunate soul who had snorlax self-destruct on my Zapdos, from a decent amount of health. So I brought out Snorlax, and they brought in Tauros. I expected them to do an attack so I went for a funny counter, but they switched to Exeggutor and uh, yeah. Then they brought out Persian, but then inexplicably switched to Tauros, and lost THAT too. Poor fella got hit by TWO counters off the SAME move.

I was making a "patch" for RBY that injected some code into the save file to give it the Smogon clause rules. Sleep and Freeze clauses were easy. But Counter? That still gives me nightmares.

@ENCHANTMEN_ 5 ай бұрын

Ironically it would actually be easier to just fix Counter entirely than try to detect all the edge cases to force it to fail like on Smogon. All you'd need to do to patch it is have the side that got paralyzed to reset the "last move used" variable to the previous value when it gets paralyzed and the move is fixed. That would prevent desyncs since both cartridges would be checking the same move to see if Counter fails or not. But in order to detect if a desync would have happened, the other player needs to know whether or not the move selected would have caused a desync, but when a mon gets paralyzed, it only sends over that the mon is paralyzed and not the move it used. As a result, you'd need to actually have the patch use the link cable functions to send over the selected move, which is a bit trickier than just reading values from RAM. That's where I ended up getting stuck since I didn't understand how that worked at the time. I'll probably resume the project in the future, though. I had some neat ideas, like throwing in a party editor and even a way to make your player sprite show up as an NPCs to the other cartridge.

Okay, I think I know why Counter would have failed if they used it on Bruno while he used an X-defend: In gen 1, the enemy will choose their move first, then turn order is determined, and then the AI makes a *separate* check to see if they use an item, which will take effect at the same priority as the move they selected, so what probably happened is they clicked Counter on the same turn that Bruno chose to use Counter and *then* overrode that with an X-Defend, giving him a -2 priority X-defend that would activate after their Counter, thus probably making your counter fail, and why they would mention X-defend being a lower priority than Counter.

I'm all in for Monster Rancher videos. I do fucking love your videos though, by far my favorite pokemon youtube content.

Not sure if it was commented already, but a theory for the "X defend lower priority" discrepancy around 3:30 in the video: Among the many bugs in Gen 1 are discrepancies in how NPCs use items. Unlike for the player or in later games, RBY NPC items do not alter their turn's priority and instead use the priority and speed of whatever move their pokemon WOULD have used it they hadn't chosen to use an item. This means that if you're faster than Surge's Pikachu, X Speed can be used before your turn if he was planning to use Quick Attack, and after for the other moves. (Thanks, JRose) I would guess that when X Defend was tested, the 'victim' was a slower pokemon that was planning to use a reduced-priority move that would have gone after Counter, disrupting the move's success through turn order rather than item usage. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding how THAT part of the problem works.

Yeah that actually makes a lot of sense. I know I've definitely seen Blaine just use a super potion on his turn after my action which healed like 1/3 of the damage I did and then just killed him anyway next turn.

"a reduced priority move" so counter then

Don't you hit me with that Stuart Little 3 music. I was like "it couldn't be" but I went to the description to check and it was. Nostalgia hurts man.

My favorite part of these videos is that I get to listen to the primally satisfying Smash 64 hit sound effects

my fave thing about Advanced OU is counter works on hidden power (i think it does in gen 2 too), regardless of whether its physical or special. Specially defensive Swampert can tank a salamence or tyranitar Hidden Power Grass and counter it back, OHKOing them. Its quite a good trade tbh, especially when swampert can heal back up with protect + lefties

Redlettermedia's plinkett videos were a godsend to the review genre. AVGN and Nostalgia Critic era was just screaming spergs throwing props around on camera while treating the clips of the actual subject as if it were B-roll. Then the Phantom Menace review rolls in and everyone realizes that a well edited video with dry humor that focuses on the subject over everything else is what a comedy review should look like.
