I FORGOT TO SAY AT 16:00 THAT THERE WAS A GLITCH AND THE MOD CREATOR HAD TO FIX THE GYM. SORRY ABOUT THAT
ALSO THE SOFTLOCK THING WAS A SIMPLE MISCOMMUNICATION DONT BE MEAN TO MY FRIEND
I questioned that
I just reached that point in the video, nice timing
Ah iwas wondering lol, came down to the comments
Ditto, wondered why it cut out
Ok, now I understand.
PointCrow: "I think we're in the lead"
*Cuts to SmallAnt with his level 54 Golbat*
i think at the point when it was showing ant's full team with victory road pokemon and rayquaza vs pointcrow's two pokemon team. It was over. Ant already grinded and pointcrow didn't even get to the point where he realised he was too weak.

Ant is a master of mental play in this challenge, he got into Eric's head by simply telling the truth and leave out the details that Eric was fishing for, making him think Ant was lying.
Only works if you actually are ahead though. Otherwise you are just reassuring the other person that they have it in the bag.
Telling a truth but leave a small sarcastic tone can mentally confuse anyone

There's something oddly cute about the fact that Smallant's Golbat had a high enough friendship level to evolve into Crobat.
With the speed you have on an emulator, it’s faster than normal by just running around doing ya business. Especially when you spend alot of time running around finding out which door went where. Getting that golbat early was a win

While it's cool having the Elite 4 all in one place. Drake being in that one part of Meteor Falls (which is especially cool because it's the one place in the game you can catch Bagon) made me realize how cool it would also be for the player to have to hunt down the Elite 4 and find where they are. They could be in especially difficult places to find, leading to a greater emphasis on exploration.

And it’s especially strange that Crow didn’t do something like that considering he did actually catch some early victory road pokemon in his solo attempt at this randomiser.
Right? big brain of Ant because it evolving into Crobat means it would outspeed anything he came up against as well and would make it beating most of the gym leaders super easy without having to waste time grinding levels

There's a fine line between confidence and stupidity. The details are based on the outside observation
You see confidence from crow and I see an idiot who underestimates his opponent and loses because of it
@@randomyoutuber5563 He didn’t really lose because he underestimated Smallant, had he been able to gauge how well Ant was actually doing he would have had a sense of urgency which may have helped him a small amount, but he lost because he was ill prepared to play someone with Smallant’s level of game knowledge and weirdly useful resourcefulness. Oh, and most of all, he lost because he dared to ever speak poorly of Wooper, an unforgivable sin which gave the gods reason to give true appreciators of Wooper good luck.
@@sportsfaniguess154 you're aware that being ill prepared to play someone of a higher knowledge and resourcefulness literally is the long way of saying 'underestimate' right? So you're trying to tell me that I'm wrong about the situation and then continue to explain exactly why I was correct. He lolly gagged almost the entire time, wasted so much time on dumb endeavors like thinking a lot about lies. Had he spend half as much energy actually doing the same thing Ant was doing(speed running) instead of just thinking about where ant really was and trying to make a big lie, he might have ran into the waterfall and likely realized that he needed waterfall and done the same thing. But he wasted his time lying, cheating, and fucking off.
@@sportsfaniguess154 ant spend how long on trying to get that Rayquaza, and still he came first. Think about that. He also spends a lot of time on finding that golden
I just started watching Ant’s content and I gotta say this dude has an encyclopedic knowledge of Pokémon. It’s crazy he knew how to bypass the waterfall glitch with Goldeen
Fun fact you needed 2 years later: waterfall used to be Goldeen/Seaking's signature move. In gen I, it had no use outside battle. Only in later gens would it be made an HM. They're still the only pokemon to naturally learn the move

You know Crow ends up putting his foot pretty firmly in his mouth and I’m here for it.
Ant: Sprays a little bit of Deceit™ on the truth, to try and mislead Crow
Crow: Probably knows he's being at least a little lied to, doesn't believe a single bit of it.
the mind games were so much fun
It's really funny switching back and forth between the two because of how different their teams are. Ant keeps sweeping all the early gyms with his level 40 Lairon and Golbat, while Crow's starter isn't even level 20.
80% of people would have been like "oh, you can't get waterfall, guess its impossible. "
Not only did you force waterfall, you were right about needing it
Technically there are 2 entrances to Drake, but that one also may have been a Waterfall entrance as well
idk what happened to Smallant that he couldn't find Wallace to give him Waterfall, like he completed the Legendary Storyline, so why wouldn't he have access to the Gym? But imagine if he did find the way to exit Wallace/Juan's Gym & Wallace was standing there outside the Gym. But ironically was also blocked by a Waterfall spot
I think my favourite part of the video was how Crow would make a claim, Ant would play along, cut to Crow saying “lmao he totally believes it!” and then cut back to Ant saying “Yeah I call total BS”

He was not, in fact, doing well here.
Catching that level 40 Golbat in the beginning really helped you alot , he was still using a level 36 swampert halfway through the vid , MVP goes to that Golbat , and after you caught Rayquaza it was over, great video great hunch on Drake
The almost instant catching of lvl 40 pokemon was a the most clutch part of the run. Especially with both of them running on multiplied speed, having a lvl 40, whether it listens or not, greatly reduces the amount of white outs, obstacles, and overall stress so that Ant could calmly focus on mapping the world.
Why wouldn't it listen? It wasn't traded to him.
@@secaleohsrevlis2039 each gym increases the cap lvl where pokemon listens, his Golbat was 40 something so he had to beat the 3rd ot 4th gym for Pokemon lvl 40 and up to listen
@@xxExtremeOdzxx did you like, not read their reply right or something? It doesn't matter if they're high level or not if they caught it within the game. You can have a level 100 starter without badges and it will still obey
@@podled942 so why wouldnt it listen
Ants strategy for this was extremely intelligent. Recognizing that because the order is messed up an effective strat is to catch whatever pokemon you can early from a diverse set of levels so that you can breeze through the gyms once you find them all was brilliant.
That kind of situational awareness is something I think speedrunning really builds into someone. Knowing what strat to apply when and when to abandon a strat and try something else is a fundamental life skill in general.
As the great Kenny Rogers put it, "You gotta' know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run."
I think Crow had a similar strategy, but he couldn't afford pokeballs for a long time. Ant's big advantage was finding and selling that lax incense.
What a great analysis. Genius
The Goldeen waterfall strat was genius
Idk if it was catching ‘random’ Pokémon at different levels. He hit victory road which gives him his beloved crobat opportunity and he loves the Aron line because both Pokémon are either a tank or sweeper, so getting through the gyms was easy since they were already 40, only got the raltz for teleport to go around resetting in soft lock or whiting out, and got the goldeen strictly for waterfall when the game glitched so he couldn’t get it naturally. Luckily went through rayquaza’s path so spent a good chunk of time wasting great balls and got lucky enough😂 that rayquaza pretty much helped him sweep the rest of the gyms, the elite four, and the champion which brought him back up to pace when he wasted all that time prior. I guess the best strat is just having superior Pokémon knowledge so you know how to use the specific Pokémon you come across to your advantage and which ones to strictly choose for that reason.

To me, it was very clear that ant was fighting Zubats to white out, he even mentioned that one of his Pokemon has Roar so after PP in all other moves got depleted, Roar prolonged the soft lock even more. And I think he very clearly stated he lost X number of minutes to it.

What a fantastic display of psychology:
Eric keeps lying about far ahead he is and when Ant says in truth that he really is that far ahead, Eric thinks "since I am lying about being super far head, then that must mean he is also totally lying which means that in truth Im actually like 4 badges ahead because he must be super far behind to lie about all of this!"
holy shit Raz wtf are you doing here?! Big fan!
Contrast this to Ant. Rarely ever lied, because why would he need to? He knows pokemon better than Crow, that's undisputed, and he was confident in his own progress through and through. Whenever Crow lied, he was more than able to rationally think about Crow's ability, his nature, and his psychology; he knew what was feasible, and from there knew what wasn't true.

@@Shadox-yv8ms long story short, some bad fans were attacking pc, after a few message exchanges pc asked smant to stop their (millions) of fans, smant tried without outright banning people, pc was not happy yet, smant had done enough on their eyes, thing went by affecting pc feelings on smant, pc decided they didn't want to collab with smant anymore, each made a stream about it, seems nothing was conclusive, feelings were hurt, it was better to part ways.
tldr: long story was not so short, pc decided to part ways with smant after the toxicity around their rivarly got out of hands, smant accepted pc's decisions and moved on.
I miss them together too, I hope they return to friends at least even if they don't compete anymore
Same tbh, I hate how unfortunate that whole thing played out... It hurt to watch, from an empathetic, genuine point of view :(
To this day I still do understand both sides though, and I suppose with the festered negative emotions and stuff there wasn't much more left they could salvage.

For those interested from the catch calc for Lv70 Ray with 100 HP using a GB:
You have a 0.416% chance of capturing it per ball. Thus, you have at least a 50% chance of catching it within 167 balls and at least a 95% chance of catching it within 719 balls.
Having that Rayquaza on his team that early just equated to him steamrolling the rest of the game. The fact that he knew that Drake was going to be on top of that waterfall, was an amazing hunch tbh.

Can't wait to see content like this again, glad they are back together
I find it kind of poetic that in order to find Drake, the dragon master, SmallAnt had to catch a goldeen, a pokemon based off of Karp, and have it accend a waterfall. Just like the legend of old, where a karp climbed a waterfall and became a dragon.
Inside Meteorfalls, where Bagon lives, which is the Drake's main pokemon :0!
This is dope. I love your brain.
Was it random or did a mod purposely make it like that

PointCrow: *slight inconvenience* "SOFTLOCK!"
(love both though)
Your username means 'horny' in my native language lol
@@silvia-narity Bold if you to assume it wasn't Intentional
Ah yes, softlocks that aren't softlocks but instead just take an incredible amount of time to be beaten. Pikasprey Yellow could sing a song about that.
@@kingprawn9892 It was honestly not intentional, but that doesn't mean that it isn't true
Smallant is just built differently
I love how in every race with Eric Ant labels him as "some guy" in the title
actual nice clickbait...first time read and click it, thought for some defiancy upon discord silly challenge lmao
Chad move
Oh hey, the bot got removed
I want this to become a new speedrun category so bad! This was a really interesting concept and I hope there is another run of this soon!
This was honestly so fun to watch! I don't think people should get too heated about stuff, as they said themselves it's just fun.
🫣RIP
The whole Waterfall "arc" was a fun bit of outside-the-box thinking. Great challenge, great edit, much fun, thanks.
I swear Ant is like an anime protaganist who bets everything on a hunch and it all works out in the end
plot armour
What do you mean like, he is
This is the first video of yours that I ever saw, I hope you bring this challenge back again, it was a ton of fun to watch! I have been hooked on your channel for a couple of weeks now.
I love how Ant was able to win even when he would spent several minutes trying to white out in areas he was stuck in, when Crow was often resetting when getting "softlocked"
goes to show how quickly Ant can think/work.
Crow was pretty much cheating though, and the mindgames that he was lying was pretty much cringe. Can't see myself watching him
@@tousawa808 The softlock thing was the result of a miscommunication.
@@syweb2 miscommunication his ass, fucking cheater deserves no respect
@@31088489 bro chill
@@31088489 lmao go outside
PointCrow: This is my Mudkip and I will raise him and love him
SmallAnt: To hell with my starter, give me that Golbat
PointCrow: Caring about his digital pets
SmallAnt: *S T R A T S*
When Pointcrow reset cause of his 'softlocks' I was like "Oh please tell me Smant still beats him" and was glad I was proven right
With the title you already know whos the winner😂😅
@@Po-vt3jr he doesn't really upload his losses
@Hanaey💦 why do people code you
@@jeffbaker9180 I have reported 4 accounts for all the same message posted on at least 40 comments so far. I am pretty certain they’re going to have to establish new spam accounts. 😂
@@Ben-vu6su thats because only the winner gets to upload so when he lose its on the enemies channel hence why we dont see loses here
MAAAN this was soooo entertaining. I literally want this to be a thing like how people do nuzlockes. This is amazing!!!!
Making this a race between you two made this all the more fun to watch 🙂
This was one of those perfect randomizers from a watching entertainment factor. Everything was jumbled, sure, but most was accessible...right up until Drake. And it required one single piece of the puzzle in Goldeen that needed to be trained up. I love when a player has to think on their feet like that instead of finding a way around the weather issue or needing it fixed (rather unfortunate on Norman; no choice there).
"Well you should be... 'cause I just beat Phoebe."
"Where is gym 5????"
lmao
This was actually really fun to watch. You should totally do it again on gold/silver or something. Gold was actually my favorite gen
I haven't even played Pokemon since yellow and found this video awesome!
Such a neat idea to add fun back into the solved game for pro's like you, with the use of a randomizer.
"he hasnt found the third gym which is nice to know" *ant literally fighting flannery*
wattson is the third gym leader not flannery
@@nileprimewastaken yeah ik that's not what I was saying
@@nileprimewastaken He was saying he's super ahead lmao
@@gavintackett5626 i know, i hadnt watched the vid yet
@@nileprimewastaken me neither it's okay 😂😂
PointCrow, as always, exuding little brother energy like only he can.
Neve heard anything more true
The amount of little brother energy is overwhelming
I'm so happy he shit on this dude lol
@@greasybastard7209 really? ;-;
@@greasybastard7209 omegalol you do realize that they're buds just having a friendly competition right? No need to be rude.
@@greasybastard7209 are you like 7 years old
It’s midnight and there’s nothing I would have liked to see more in my recommended than a SmallAnt race vid. Thx for being my source of happiness during COVID, ily, please never stop uploading
Wow. That hunch and waterfall work around was ABSURD!
PointCrow: Yeah, I discovered a glitch that gave me six level 100 Rayquazas
SmallAnt: Sure, okay
PointCrow: He totally believed that
😎😎😎czcams.com/video/KQDjfjRtMsM/video.html
kinda shows how gullible crow is X_X facepalms*
At 23:08 Smant sounds like he’s lying with the drawn out “yeah” but really he’s getting closer to getting waterfall by the second. So he’s half-lying. I love it. 👍
if i gotta be honest, this was really fun to watch
I really love their sportsmanship. They're competitive during any challenges they do together but are NEVER rude to each other. Absolutely solid.
They dont have to be rude to each other when both of their followers do it for them.
@@sirr3al774 Haha, truer words were never spoken.
god, when smant had to tell his viewers to not shit on pointcrow, that was just sad.
PointCrow resetting in the exact same area you're enduring so much pain hurt ME, I can only imagine your pain XD
Same hahaha
thing was, it would have taken him like 2 seconds to white out there. Smant had a team of much stronger pokemon, which is why dying took so long. I think one of the things he learned from this is that you shouldn't get a beefy team before you have a reliable way of getting out of places without dying.
@@android19willpwn someone actually did the math and ant saved more time with the team since he was immediately able to fight the first couple gyms instead of how pointcrow did it.
@@titaniafae4114 yeah but then again, Crow wasn't doing it to get ahead, he was doing it because he didn't know
@@Sneaky_Turtle2 I... that wasn't my argument so yeah sure lmao.
Dude, this guy always amazes me. I mean, I first played Pokemon Blue when I was 4 years old, one year before I learned to read (trust me, another kind of random...) but even later, I never figured out the strats he uses. Like, from smokescreening 6 times to knowing when a mon automatically learns an HM...? Just wtf man. xD AMAZING.
Its amazing how they remember what every place is from first glance while I have to check the map after not playing for a day
Eric: **looses something**
Eric: Well, gonna have to reset
Eric is trying to optimize his speedrun of life, which apparently includes losing races sometimes
Point crow’s both sheer confidence, constant “that’s a soft lock”, and the fact that he still looses, makes it amazing
It wasnt even close either, catching rayquaza took forever and without it, the elite four might have been tricky. Also the waterfall thing took a while most likely
Thx man you just spoilered the Video for me 😐
@@Glintingbeetle I recommend not reading the comments before you watch it :D
@@Glintingbeetle dude, why are you reading the comments before you watch the video and then complain about spoilers
@@Glintingbeetle the video title is litteraly "this guy *THOUGHT* he could beat me"
Amazing ending, dang! Need more of this!
This was such a great concept and just a great video. I loved this so much
This is actually the most banger Pokémon video I’ve ever seen. So much strat, so much to plan for, you sir need some sort of medal for these plays
yo thanovic i didn’t know u watch smallant, i just saw u in sunless’ video just before i watched this one haha
funni rocket league man
AYY its thanovic, how are you dude?
Rucket luaguwree
Who expected him here xD
This was so fun to watch!
Dont know why but i thought you said "This was no fun to watch!"
Haven't watched you in a while, looks like you're channel's doing well though nice! Weird running into you here 😂
Golf
Hey it’s the mini golf guy I watch on Facebook at work.
This form of randomized nuzloke is really cool ! would like to see more
I love when these two play games together
