  • This is a cross generation run with the generation 2 and 3 pseudo legendary Pokemon. This one took more time than I care to admit but I hope it was worth the wait. It's a good one! Enjoy!

      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Před 4 měsíci

      Yea poison damage is immune but if it's like a full blown effect with no damage like Poison Gas or Toxic the game looks at it, doesn't really think of it as poison, and let's the effect go through. That's the best explanation of how it works. Weird but it's not worth rewriting the code for since it generally only happens on Koga.

    Can't say I'm too surprised Metagross took the crown here. Psychic is always busyed in Gen 1 and backporting his best moves was just overkill. Excellent runs for both Metagross and Tyranitar!

    @reddragonpress Před 5 měsíci +1

    My initial guess for the victor was Metagross, but when you talked about the power of Stone Edge I had my doubts. Unfortunate that Tyranitar wasn't able to cinch the victory, but it makes sense because of the moves that Tyranitar has to rely on compared to Metagross. If Tyranitar got Dragon Dance by level up (say, at the same level Metagross got Meteor Mash), I think it could definitely turn the tide in Ttar's favor; but alas, that move is locked away in its TM/egg move learnset. In the end, it's just good to see that both of the non-Dragon pseudos had a good showing overall.

    Erika my beloved.
    I totally agree with what you said about her being the most underrated gym leader. She has some amazing tools to work with, but I guess she's "easy" because you can delay the fight against her for so long, the game just opens up so much after Misty (and you usually just get a Dugtrio for Surge and call it a day).

    The 2 runs were really neck and neck with one other. Until the very end I wasn't sure who will take the crown,but both were really fast😮. But in the end the steel typing with psychic typing in gen 1 can sure make wonders.
    And you got a point about not picking up certain items. My muscle memory and old habits that die hard ,are giving me small time losses ,that in the end became really huge.
    I really like the format of this match. I really enjoy watching the splits. 😮 And yeah,doing it manually is a pain , I just finished doing it ,for my next run.😂😂😂
    But seriously though, your videos kind of inspired me to rework the graphics for the split data. So thanks for that.
    Sausage's green sprite makes it look like an angry sausage😂😂😂 . Maybe it is angry because it was one shoted. I really got a good laugh out of the Sausage reference in the video, especially after a long day.😊

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Oh yea, when you are trying to push the speed barrier, you have to really see if you need to do anything. I tried cutting out the gentleman candy and 10th floor Silph candy but it's just too much for slow leveling group Pokemon in most cases. I guess it's all relative to your playstyle and what you want to accomplish but for me, extra proteins/carbos/vitamins in general really add to my personal times.
      I do think everything looks good and I'm happy with the product and excited that any part can inspire someone else! I'm also always excited to throw in sausage references into all the videos now lol. It's just too good.
      Views are a little meh though. I am not happy with how the channel is trending the past couple of months lol. Nothing kills motivation faster than being like 'I'm putting in more work but things are going worse than they were a year ago!'.

Once I feel unmotivated, I just tell myself that I'm improving for the next video ,and try out a different approach.

      Yup taking a break on CZcams kind of sucks , because you are in most cases punished for that. Doing it full time is challenging at the very least , especially if you are a one man show.
      Solo runs are getting pushed to the sidelines. And if the popular creators are not doing it that much , CZcams will slowly categorize that as something that is not interesting enough to be recommended as often . But at least most of the viewers that are still watching that type of content are really loyal. Like drought, it will end at some point, because the rain will come at some point.😊💪

      The repel at Snorlax is just a speedrun tactic. The catch rate is maxed in my ROMs so HM Pokémon don’t skew the data. There wasn’t any correlation!

    I'm not too surprised that Metagross beat Tyranitar, however I think the bad luck Tyranitar had, vs the good luck Metagross had was another factor, but even without the bad luck, I still think Metagross would come out on top due to it's slightly better speed stat, and access to the badge boost glitch. All in all, they both did incredibly well, expect no less from Psuedo legendaries, also Real One.

    Well this was fun, Tyranitar is my favorite Pokémon, period, but realistically game freak hates rock types and steel/psychic is a ridiculous typing pre gen 6, and really even then. Totally fair point about the power of stone edge, it’s ridiculous and in singles it’s worth the trade off for accuracy but it’s still annoying that there aren’t any 100% accurate good rock moves except for ivy cudgel in the worst ogerpon form. It does make me wonder about what Pokémon best abuse gen 1 crit mechanics, it seems like most things that learn a lot of high crit moves are either to slow to abuse them effectively or have a bad growth rate, or have their stats in the wrong attack for their typing.

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987

      For the accuracy, I watched someone say they don’t use Blizzard because it’s 90% only and it’s just kind of dumb to have that mindset. Live a little! 80% will hit most the time!

      @@GymLeaderMatt1987 really? Gen 1 blizzard is one of the most broken moves in Pokémon. Even with accuracy trade off that makes the effective power 108! And it had a 30% freeze chance in the Japanese games. High power moves are worth it if you come out in the positive, playing conservative is just slow. Get luckier.

      @@GymLeaderMatt1987 I just learned there’s a VGC team comp called Casino where you run a bunch of high powered, inaccurate moves and the piloting skill is just putting yourself in position to take more swings at 1 shots than the opponent gets 2 shots and you come out ahead mathematically even if you don’t get particularly lucky. Seems like the same ethos.

      @@GymLeaderMatt1987 lol, solid work there, Scott tends to play a little to conservative. It’s a good point though, recoil feels bad in a solo run but you don’t need to finish the fight with more than 1 HP and double edge gets better ranges sometimes. 100 base power with 100 accuracy is essentially an ideal Pokémon move, everything would love to have a move like that, IE earthquake.

      It's just hard coded. Like if there was a normal move that caused paralysis, it would work on Gengar. The only parameter is that it can't be a poison type.
      You could probably go in and clean up/write new code but that's a hefty endeavor.

      Now I've watched the entire video and I have to say I am super impressed with Tyranitar and with how close it was. Both of my comments are just copies of you already pointed out in the video, but that wasn't intentional.
      It was a really great video and the things that you can do with custom roms are pretty amazing, too bad it is a lot of work. I was here for old videos like the first Kyogre and the other ones that used that pre-made ROM, and you've come a long way.

    • @GymLeaderMatt1987
      @GymLeaderMatt1987  Před 5 měsíci

      Hard disagree. I did double the Ttar runs than I did Metagross runs. It just so happened that it's absolute best run was the one that had a single fight with bad luck in it. The champion fight luck wasn't even needed for Metagross. I just needed a boost on Exeggutor to make it guaranteed but even with no boosts it still would have won at a very high percentage.
      I put in a lot of work for Ttar to actually be able to compete and I tried my best to articulate how many more runs it took with Ttar so, if anything, Metagross would crush it even harder if I doubled the runs with it.

    • @Robin93k
      @Robin93k Před 4 měsíci

      @@GymLeaderMatt1987 Well yeah, that part is obvious.
      By default all Status Moves ignore Type Effectivity (except in Gen 2/3): Sand-Attack(Ground) hits Flying Types, Sand-Attack(Normal in Gen 1)/Disable(Normal) work on Ghost Types, Destiny Bond/Curse(Ghost) work on Normal Types, etc.
      Thunder Wave failing against Ground Types is an exception, programmed into the move itself, since Gen 1.
      The really interesting part is that "Status immunity" in Gen 1 is exclusively based on Same Type Attack Protection, aka all Pokémon are immune to secondary effects of Moves they share a type with.
      Thus in Gen 1:
      Thunder Wave paralyzes only non-electric types.
      Body Slam paralyses only non-normal Types.
      Poison Gas/Toxic poisons non-poison Types.
      Twineedle poisons non-bug Types.
      Triplette burns, paralyses or freezes non-normal types.
      Thus, yeah Steel Types getting poisoned by Poison Gas/Toxic/Twineedle makes sense as well.
