Either way, I’d assume that was a lot on you mentally. Keep putting out the great content!

    Alright this baddy actually got a good flying type move that isn't fly in drill peck. As one of only three lines one of which is zapdos.
    Otherwise body slam and tri attack (one of my favorite moves) are good, normal typing generally helps in the early game.
    High crit rate and a multi hit move should render brock okayish, maybe. Having both stabs early on is also nice with peck.
    No coverage but some utility in reflect agility and other stuff scott always uses. Since ghost aren't an issue this time it'll probably be a fine run but just require some training and raw strength to oull through. (No sd is criminal)

    As for picking up TM44 Rest, you've gotta love the fact that as an item that is gone forever once the SS Anne has departed if you choose not to collect it, the fact that it has such value in the late game works as a sort of metaphor for the way that decisions made earlier in our life can affect our later lives in either a positive or negative way

      Pretty much the story of any Normal/Flying type in Gen 1. Whether it learns Drill Peck or not pretty much determines its viability so if it doesn't get Drill Peck, it's pretty much always trash by default since other Flying STAB options are weak and Fly and Sky Attack are 2 turn moves with Sky Attack not making you invulnerable for a turn.

    I think there were quite a few places where Double Edge would have given you a narrow one/two hit that Body Slam didn't. You already went to the Rocket Hideout and basically had a spare moveslot so I think it would be a good idea. Maybe I'm underestimating the recoil though.

    • @ScottsThoughtsPokemon
      @ScottsThoughtsPokemon  Před rokem

      The recoil is really awful which is usually why I avoid that move. It’s really only useful if you can use it to ko 1 particularly tricky Pokémon like the champions Alakazam for example.

    For Dragonite, I'm thinking maybe it's better to just go for Body Slam instead of hoping for a Hyper Beam oneshot. You lose the chance to oneshot of course, but in exchange you don't have to take two guaranteed turns from Dragonite if you miss the range.
    On the whole though, I was a bit surprised by these results. Not the performance I expected!

  • @enitheway
    @enitheway Před rokem

    I like how there is more discussion about the metrics. I have wondered them as well but not questioning the approach. I feel a reset and blackout should be separate metrics, since blackout can be considered as intended mechanic, and the final result/standing should be counted how close the real time (divided by the speed up) was to the game time. Resets would act as a tiebreaker, probably would need to be included in the final result formula in some way. Blackouts should not be double-punishing.
    Never would have I thought back in my youth while trying to push the truck that in 20 years I would still be around the game, thinking new angles to approach it. Your integrity and openness help me to dig deeper.

    Two comments:
    *Don't need to see TM/HM list as default overlay between fights. Not sure if this is you or a default overlay. More screen is better. Maybe just when you're discussing move options?
    *Generally speaking, talking a little more slowly makes videos more palatable for international viewers as well. This is coming from a fellow speed speaker. Speed talking is good for Shorts.

    It's ME. I'M the Doduo lover!
    Which is actually kind of ironic because despite the fact I really like Doduo and Dodrio, I never used them in Pokemon Red or Yellow. I always had Pidgeot or Fearow or Farfetch'd by that point and never felt the need to raise up the kind of underleveled Doduo you can catch (Kanto's wild level curve is also really bad huh). I also really fondly remember the race episode of the anime because I had it on VHS. This is also the episode where Ash eats a Magikarp shaped taiyaki, which I also always really wanted as a kid. Not that I knew what it was, but like, it looked really good.
    Will admit seeing Doduo's eventual time I feel a little worried about Dodrio's time. Dodrio was one of those Pokemon I figured would end up doing really well because I mean, its stats are really kind of incredible. 115 Attack is pretty absurd for Generation I. But now uh...I'm kind of worried it will end up stalling and crashing like Doduo. We'll see though.
    Also they give Dodrio a lot of love to its movepool in later games, like in Gen 7 it gets Swords Dance, Jump Kick, and Stomping Tantrum which are all kind of crazy for it.

      @iantaakalla8180 Před rokem

      I do feel that as chaotic as changing types every battle is, if you have an unfavorable typing you can always battle a wild Pokémon to change typings until you get a good defensive or offensive typing. I don’t know if that is good because there are no softlocks or grindspots based off of type alone, but it could also lead to type farming.

      Yaaaay! I also played Pokemon Red with Doduo, also got stuck at Lorelei and did the dumbest move: I taught it fly like an idiot. I hadn't checked damages, so I didn't realise it sucked so hard. Next time I wouldn't teach it and I would get Mimic probably. I think I had an in-game time of around 7:30, which isn't too bad for a first playthrough, especially cause it was my third playthrough like that. Anyway, have a great year!

    Two heads are better then one, but in the case of Doudo that didn't do the trick for it. But for a first stage evolution that was an okay run, except for that burtal Lorelei fight. 🤔
    The trouble with flying types pre gen 4,is that flying types doesn't have a lot going on with special defence, or even physical defence. And most of them don't have enough moves for stab or a lot of coverage. So I think that you've done a great job with it. We could all get stubborn when it comes to winning, so I can totally get that, because I do that in all of my runs, because that makes the run somewhat fun for me. 😊
