Rules:
1. Only my starter in battle
2. No items in battle, except held items
3. No glitches, exploits, or save states
4. No movepool evasion-boosting moves before level 100*
Rule details:
— I make no attempt to have the exact same rule details between generations.
— I am allowed to manipulate my starter
— I play the game at 4x game speed
— For fair comparisons my Pokemon have perfect (or near perfect) DVs / IVs
— I am allowed to catch HM users – I can use all field moves
— Evasion boosting is allowed if the move is not obtained from the Pokemonโs movepool. For example, using Mimic or Mirror Move to boost evasion is allowed.
— Surge’s trash-can-puzzle is automatically solved
— The bike is allowed in gen1 & 4, banned in gen2, and allowed only to bypass terrain in gen3
— Saving between league members is allowed
— I can pause the game and timer to take breaks
— Items obtained with the ability Pickup can only be used if the starter obtained them
— The footage is sped up & slowed down to match the pace of my narration
These Rule details apply only to generation 1:
— All battle-mechanic glitches are allowed (glitches that occur outside of battle are banned)
— In generation 1, I’m allowed to skip Marowak with the Poke Doll

Scott maybe talk to this guy about the battle simulator: https://youtube.com/@pimanrules?si=3Q5gf6lNbIuNDbVz
Wait. Which fossil did you take?! Comments are good for the YouTube algorithm
Day 4 of gen 4 shiny hunts and were at 5542! I've ramped up the speed by having 2 dsi at the same time as I watch, still no shiny – yet!
I applaud the way the video was edited balancing between each of the Eevees and their individual journeys. Scott's Thoughts December is going great so far!
Again, a little surprised you didn't add the let's go signature moves. Eevee gets one for each evolution, but even just the 3 gen 1 types gives it water giga drain, thunderbolt with 100% paralyze, and flamethrower with 100% burn.
Technically isnโt the backport rule no new moves unless theyโre signature? Because all of the LGPE moves are considered signature. It was probably something worth addressing, considering these comment sections.
does Toxic affect the Ghosts (or Agatha)? or is it a "poison poisoning a poison" and doesn't work due to Gen1
also would be interesting to see a comparison between non-partner of Eevee vs non-partner Pikachu, and then their partner variants (rather than just the overall tier list)
haven't gotten that far yet, so unsure if it's in the video
Will there be a let's go solo series or brilliant diamond/ shining pearl??
14:17 Ground Control to Major Bob
God, could you imagine if the Let's Go moves were backported?
I think the og eevee backsprite looks alot better than the custom one tbh.
Also 6:44 what a nice detail to edit in the red-eyed Kabutops ๐
I still think the pokeflute should be fair game in gen 1 runs. It just simulates a turn-1 wakeup in every possible way and gets rid of a little bit of RNG. It has no impact on money routing since it's an infinite use key item and just makes the run less prone to blowing up due to excessively bad luck (looking at you, Exeggutor).
Gen 1's unique sleep mechanics should be countered by gen 1's unique answer to them.
EDIT: but no Rest cheesing!
Double the Eevee, double the love. <3 <3 Happy to see more from my favorite pre-evo!
What about all the CUTESY named SUPER ATTACKS from Let`s GO!?
in the surge fight i also noticed iin the pikachu video and this video
there were multiple times where u won if u chose quick attack that you would win the fight, but you chose body slam and got outsped
I know this isn't the purpose of your runs but I'd be so interested in seeing a run or two where the AI was changed for major trainers. Like imagine if Surge, Sabrina, and Blaine has AI modification 3 (it'd break some things for sure). Also replace terrible X-items with potions respective to the progress in the playthrough. Imagine Giovanni using Max Potions instead of Guard Spec. and also using them correctly.
I love the oak sections at the end, especially that you often forget to record. Feels extremely relatable!
Scott wishes to drive engagement on what species eevee is. I respect it.
I cant wait for the 3 way middle evolution race. I made it to 1:14:23. And no Scott, YOU'RE INCREDIBLE!
German version is also Major Bob
Now I want a โlevels of power creepโ series. Lets go Pikachu and eevee with their actual busted moves, dugtrio and raichu with its increased stats etc
Major Bob is also how Surge is named in German. I for a long time didn't know who this Surge guy was. In essence, he was one of, if not THE first character, that taught me about name changes in localization. The other instance was Satoshi (Ash) because of the Marowak episode (I think its english title was Chilled to the Bone) and the Power of One movie.
Hey Scott, you don't actually need to simulate using the strategy with repetitions, you can just use the accuracy and various boost numbers to get an exact likelihood of success. Probably wouldn't be that hard to build, you just might need to take another option to work out the impact of certain moves (e.g. reflect, paralysis inducing, sp def drop etc. ) as that could get very messy very quickly. Would be a great tool for optimising runs.
A video like "I reranked a bunch of pokemon" would be cool for the next year!
in this video you would just point out some specific improvements on the run (extra training here, different strat there, better routing) and then tell the new ranking
Hope you would do something like that, would be cool
Slowbone! Classic
Those sprites look the same, def could not tell which eevee you were playing. Would have been better with the hat to tell them appart
maybe live-rerankings summaries could be mini sessions inside adjacent pokemon videos
What if the Psyduck you got was the Stadium 1 prize Psyduck? ๐
How was your thanksgiving by the way? If you went out of town did it impact the kitties at all or are you the type to bring them in cat carrier? If you answered elsewhere including the video before i watched I apologize in advance!
>ugh, domesticated
If OG Vee is gonna throw shade, I wanna look at him and be like, "Yeah, and she's way stronger than you are, Jack…"
Wow.. didn't know you can wake up in the middle of fire spin.
