- Live commentary of me playing through Round 16! High level battle factory content I hope you enjoy :)
MY DISCORD / discord
MY TWITCH / lrxc_
Like and subscribe do it do it do it
Your insane energy commentating ADV revival brought me here and i'm sooo glad i gotta have 500 hours at battle factory hahaha
lowkey some of the best mons content on yt
This means so much to me, thank you man, you should join the discord!
@@LRXC1 trust me it was my pleasure, been sharing this around
@@LRXC1 LRXC pls commentate more live ADV OU matches. Best things ive seen in a while, very entertaining.
Dude's like a half-step away from reverse engineering the damn game with the amount of homework he's doing. I love the amount of detail he goes into as well. He has like, a Ph.D in Pokemon
🤓
Good news! The games already been reverse engineered to a good degree.
Let’s hope he has that same energy with his schoolwork where it actually matters… 🙄
@@skuntpunchthis is his job, it matters here.
Edit: I am not sure, looked at the subscriber count.
I hope he is a twitch streamer or something.
@@skuntpunchmind your business wtf
Hearing you reason your way through each decision and play through bad situations is amazing. I've always loved the battle factory for how it makes it easy to try out all kinds of mons and has enough randomness to stay interesting while allowing for skill to shine through where it counts. The fact it's not in the newer games is such a big loss.
Totally agree, it’s eerily similar to a hardcore Nuzlocke! I plan to make a video on this comparison at some point!
With how nuzlockes have blown up on pokemon youtube recently, I wouldn't be surprised if there's potentially a sizable audience for battle factory content just lurking under the surface. It's such a unique mode with how it forces you to account for and optimize so many things like team order and the risk-reward of scouting moves that I'm sure people will be drawn to it once they're reminded it's existence and how awesome it is.
I think battle factory does have more of an uphill battle though. Nuzlockes have the benefit being easily incorporated into any game, but official battle factory content being stuck to gens 3 and 4 makes it less accessible and diverse. Battle factory can also get repetitive, and while I think the randomness massively heightens the skill ceiling with how good you have to be at thinking on your feet, it can also be a turn off. One place I see battle factory having a huge advantage over nuzlockes is through romhacks. While fans have made plenty of great nuzlockes, the formula of a nuzlocke is pretty set in stone. But one silver lining of battle factory's short lifespan is that as it's own game mode it is severely underexplored. Even something as simple as implementing items, a mulligan system when first selecting a team, or ways to tweak move sets with something like one use TM's can massively change how the game is approached. @@LRXC1
@@blubberfishI mean considering how crazy battle factory be, I would totally see people breaking records with just this mode alone and I'm all for it.
@@blubberfishI think a battle factory rom hack would be so sick with ideas like this!!! So much potential
@@LRXC1 absolutely gave me PokeChal vibes haha, first time viewer and won’t be my last.
I don't know if ive ever heard someone describe a 25% chance as unreal before now
Snarkiness aside tho that battle was so tense, doesn't need to be said but you're def a great player
@@jbdbibbaerman8071I appreciate this! And yeah super intense!!
Its a Game where a 90% Focus bläst Misses more than Hydropump.
@@kowikowi8718good thing Focus Blast is 70% accuracy
@@thenotoriousmichaeljackson8938must have meant focus punch because focus blast is gen 4 right?
you pointing out bad outcomes, them immediately occurring, and you somehow barely making it through is really entertaining. i was on the edge of my seat when that starmie was revealed to be set 1. and that starmie ended up still being pretty important to the run! cool af
Yeah the learning process is scary but exciting, and yeah LOL god what a crucial mistake on Starmie, but your right it ended up being okay! Glad you enjoyed this!!
Murphy's Law fears him
Ooooo, some fresh Battle Factory content.
Kind of a rarity for CZcams, particularly full length runs.
Yeah!!
I like how unenthusiastic he was to get registeel and yet it became mvp. Same with the bad set starmie putting in work and staying on the squad.
Its like the undesirable mons you have to use in a nuzlocke! Same vibes. I love it
@@LRXC1tbh I saw the set and I thought it could pop off a little
Pokémon is just a kid's game, it can't be that intense!
The Pokémon game:
The kids leveled up but never aged
the fact that you're able to eyeball what investments and IV's it has that fast is insane to me, I can't imagine being knowledgeable enough about the game to be able to do that.
I think it just comes with playing a lot a lot of Pokémon!!! Thank you!
It's pattern recognition, not live calculating, that would be making it way too hard for no reason. Still takes a loooot of time and experience to know min/max/boosted/reduced stats and what they could be with/out IVs
Virgin behavior
I never knew the battle factory could be played with such level of finese.
The commentary was very informative and made me want to try the battle frontier modes again
This is amazing to hear and you totally should!! Especially the battle factory 😎😎
Finesse? I mean he didn't even know how shell bell works how did he get that far
@@vincent-ataramaniko Bruh that was a simple mistake
more in depth than a speed run lol
@@vincent-ataramanikoeven people who are smart often make mistakes in the most basic parts of life.
So Starmie and Registeel are staples in my Sword team and i feel so invested watching them shine with your tactics. This was awesome
Nice!!!! What a duo they are!!
Bro you have such an electric and constant flow of energy, could watch you do this kind of stuff for hours
Thank youuu!!!!
I know you realized it after but I kept saying when the starmie came up "you didn't see shell bell because it was at full health and went first for the first attack, and the second your quick claw activated, so it could never heal"
yeah LOL so hard not to make mistakes!
Registeel: okay that's whatever honestly
Also Registeel: allow me to sweep the entire Battle Factory 8)
I'm fairly certain that after only having watched half of this video that you could make commentating about paint drying interesting. You really elevated this into edge-of-the-seat nail-biting gameplay!
Thank you!!!! This means a lot to me
Omg yes! This has been utterly amazing to watch! I'm TwaveMeister, I made the set finder table that you're using and I have the open level record of 112 wins!
Congrats on this monster of a run! You are doing everything right, weighing all of the info and expecting the worst. Your face when that Blissey came out was priceless and I totally commiserate the feeling of "oh shit is this all over" I literally just saw this video so if your run is still alive, I wish you a good next starting draft!
I am actually in the ADV revival tournament and I'm doing better than I would have expected. I'm funneling my 1000+ hours of factory experience into ADV OU. 2-0 so far!
Beautiful! Unfortunately next round is when I lost, on stream, I plan to upload my mega run soon, 2nd place all time. Your open level record is mega impressive!!! I’m quite busy with my job + Jimothy gaming content right now, but after that I definitely plan to resume my battle factory grind for lvl 50 world record!
24:15 "I'm literally going to lose to a f***ing Electabuzz." I hear you. This is how I feel every time I do Battle Tower in DPPT.
I love Electabuzz
This is like a panic attack that lasts 1hr 15 mins
LOOOOL
@@LRXC1 you should upload more of these or do Rogue Emerald runs or something it was really interesting running though your decision making. Doing calcs on the fly and just fun to watch.
@@SenpaiMDThank you for this feedback, im definitely going to upload more stuff like this, maybe shorter versions though and more edited??
Getting the starmie wrong was actually pretty funny
No it wasn’t LOL, but thankfully it worked out!
😂
Regice literally means "king of ice" from latin "regi" that means "king's". That goes also for all the other regis: of rock, of steel, of giants, of electricity and of dragons
I never knew this! That’s super cool! Makes the gen3 legendaries even more badass god I love Hoenn
This was really entertaining I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you look up all the Pokémon to figure out what they were, some really cool sets like your regice and registeel!
I'd absolutely watch more of this battle factory content!
Thank you for this feedback! I am glad you enjoyed it, I love the factory and will return to it eventually, doing a lot for ADV Revival as you might know haha
@@LRXC1 oh yeah I'm in the loop on that I've always loved gen 3 and seeing this real push for gen 3 competitive is amazing to see,
I would've joined the tournament myself but when it comes to competitive I get a bit nervous, but been enjoying the videos especially the duskull and dusclops one.
Keep up the good work!
@@RoryTheFiendthanks!!!! And yeah playijg can be nervewracking totally understand!
Im so glad this popped up in my recommended, this is literally amazing! i only really played battle factory as a kid and it was easily my favorite content in emerald-- granted I wasn't very good at it haha. i love the way you talk through your strategies and what you're expecting to happen, the in-depth analysis is so so good. rooting for you to get that record eventually. this has definitely inspired me to give battle factory a real, honest try now that i've got lots of pokemon experience under my belt.
Amazing!!!! I plan to make a 5 minute battle factory guide soon with all this newfound excitement and people wanting to try it out themselves!!!!! And yes I will get that record, someday, unfortunately this streak ended at 113 wins (lost 2nd battle of Round 17) the world record is 119!
Damn, no wonder I couldn't beat the battle factory as a young lad, you really, truly gotta know your stuff to dunk on the opponents. Impressive. Makes me wanna jump back into gen 3
Jump jump
16 is INSANE. I remember losing my marbles playing Round 2 when I was a kid! Haha. This is so impressive bud good job!
26:13 I am of the opinion that your optimal play here would have been one more double team while under the substitute. You would have a reasonable chance of Electabuzz not hitting or not breaking the sub while getting in that additional evasion.
Super fair yeah!
I just wanna say thanks. I'm stuck at home, sick as a dog, and this vid has helped pass the time. Much love bro! ❤
Awww this makes me glad, hope you feel better soon!!!
The investment that's on show in this video made me so excited about Emerald Battle Factory. Love that every single battle has energy and deep thought going into it!
Yay! I do love it a lot!
oh my god that was so stressful to watch lol. amazing content. i used to grind the whole battle frontier in high school, glad to see people still playing this.
Yeah!!! It’s a grind that’s for sure!
What a nice comeback with mvp Registeel!
Also, today I learned that Sturdy was an anti OHKO-move ability instead of being basically a free focus sash
Yeah! Gen3 is weird like that
Does it still do that along with the free Focus sash or was It just swapped?
Yeah so Sturdy doesn't act like a focus sash in gen3! It only blocks OHKO moves, which is pointless everywhere except the factory : )@@bullymaguire632
@@LRXC1 I meant does it still do that in, for example, gen 9 or is it just the 1hp thing
@@bullymaguire632yeah lol
Just stumbled upon your channel and it's awesome. I love emerald and the battle frontier so this is just the type of Pokemon content that i needed. Keep uploading please!
That’s awesome!!! Yeah there is a video coming out next Friday!!!! Stay tuned!!!
Found this randomly and just wanted to say that this is really good content.
The mode is great, it's something that anyone can enjoy since the barrier of entry is really low. No need to build your pokemon from scratch, the starting line is the same for all. Rest is skill based, and on this point your commentary is really good, the rythm is nice and the slow paced nature of the combat goes well with the added tactical and strategical insight.
Nowdays I just play the first 5 gen, since I don't like the newer games as much. And even then gen 3 is far from being my favorite, but here you just gave me a good reason to do emerald (only did saphir at the time and it was such a departure from crystal atmosphere...).
I appreciate this comment so much
6k subs is severely underrated for content of this level, it was entertaining throughout. I had no idea gen 3 had such depth to it, even though it was my childhood pokemon game. The registeel set up was so satisfying to see you pull it off.
Thank you!!! I appreciate this comment a lot, and yes gen3 is soooo deep!!!
lmao sheer cold horn drill rest talk dewgong. Game freak moment
Oh my god, I was at the edge of my seat watching the battle Regice, Starmie, Registeel vs Arcanine, Electabuzz, Breloom
Yeah that was peak battle factory! Clutch Registeel!!!
It's a good thing you're such a calculated player, because you might be the 2nd unluckiest Pokemon player in the world.
LOL it happens when you dedicate to the factory
Ah the old days of Battle Frontier. Getting a single Gold symbol for Battle tower ranks as my top achievement in any video game ever.
"How did I do that?!?!"
He says, after 30 minutes of using various tools and planning literally every possible outcome, doing the math, and thinking extremely hard on it.
I love how the Starmie was a bad pick but it turns out to be a vital pick for you in the later matches :D
You know you're dealing with a high-level player when they need a solid minute to determine that you should use an Ice-type move against a Grass-type
god that dewgong at the end was nothing short of terrifying
Yeah I was clenched
LRXC after seeing 2 Regis and a Starter from another region: "Uuuuugh, not the best draft guys"
The Battle Factory workers that had to catch and bring each mon here, watching you diss each one: "Well, fuck you too then"
LOOOOL I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS
I haven't played Pokemon in years, discovered your vids, and was instantly hooked 😂 A positive man in a mainly negative world 👍
I amount of complexity that goes into this challenge is unreal.
It’s what made me so enchanted by it, so so enchanted!!!
that focus punch fight between registeel and breloom was on some anime arc villain fight shit bruh
Poetry honestly
“It’s over Blissey…It’s over Blissey…Blissey it’s over..” 😂😂 this Blissey was actually crazy lucky
This video is great! It's rare to find battle factory content.
Won’t be rare anymore on my channel, I will be uploading more and more battle frontier content!
I have never been so invested in battle factory. Actually wild stuff.
Yay!!! You should tune in for my first CZcams live in 2 hours!!
this is literally that trainer archetype who rolls up with 3 laptops and a notebook and just plays the statistics of the prior matches he's seen in the arena before, it's kinda funny to imagine as a real trainer in universe, but actually succeeding rather than ash or whoever protag stomping them
I love your analysis!
Watching a guy take 6 mins for each move has never been more entertaining
Found you from the revival tourney. Awesome commentary. Love this content my guy, keep it up
Thank you!!!
The frontier brain at this point must be INSANE
it is
I had no clue what was going on going into this, but it was more interesting than i was expecting
Amazing to hear! I’ll be releasing a guide this week to help everyone out!!!
Horn Drill
Sheer Cold
Sleep Talk

What an absolutely evil moveset. At least it wasn't Quick Claw, I guess.
An insanely insanely scary set indeed
You sir, live up to the Knowledge Symbol that the Battle Factory offers!
whats the knowledge behind memorizing things and running EVERYTHING through an algorithm?
@@angelsaucedo2231 remove the word "algorithm" from your vocabulary you do NOT understand what an algorithm is
@@Luna-Lux just buy a dictionary
Ok so the internet me wants to say I never knew it was this deep. The inventory guy plus the fact I took a six sigma course can really enjoy a good spreadsheet
The focus and in depth commentary is such a good combo here. You'll prob blow up if you upload this daily.
I've thought about trying CZcams out! Problem is I'd probably have to upload gen9 content loool
Maybe I wouldn’t though with how this video is blowing up…
@@LRXC1 nah adv is making a comeback and battle tower analysis is a great niche to grow off of
@@brandonallen2301Perhaps it’s a time to try! Thank you for this encouragement, it means a lot, would honesrly be a dream to make ADV Content and make a living off of it
oh my god i never knew the factory had such depth
So much!!!
Watching this almost making me want to go pick up my soulsilver copy and go back to trying for all gold from the start. Good stuff
😂The popoff on Breloom was hype
Just getting the gold took me Months and I barely got it. Never would I be insanse enough to go for a 100 win streak, congrats on your streak.
Came over from the ADV revival vids. You've got phenomenal potential as a content creator - really engaging and knowledgeable. Definitely keep it up!
I appreciate this!!! Sometimes I think I should go all in on CZcams’
this was so entertaining to watch. usually in depth strategy bores me to death but this was awesome, love your commentary
Thank you!!!!
Love battle factory content! When emerald first came out I was what? 7? I never understood IVs or EVs, so battle factory already having pre-made Pokemon eased that aspect for me. I have a pretty large (70?) open level doubles record! It’s always so frustrating making mistakes from fatigue (forgetting to swap a Pokémon from clicking too fast, making an error of foolishly not predicting opponents move) but the biggest cruelty is always the draft!!! I remember having a god-awful draft on the run that knocked me out and it was brutal. But all of these reasons is why I LOVE the emerald battle factory! I could play for a lifetime!
So amazing!!!!! And that’s an amazing streak!!!! Perhaps my guide coming out this week will help you :)
Don’t even play Pokémon but for some reason this is very entertaining
hype
big fan of your adv revival commentary, really glad i found your main channel, its just as good and really good to see your reasoning and thought process throughout it
Yayyy!!!! Glad to have you here : )
@@LRXC1 happy to be here :D
I can't believe I watched this whole thing lol. Great work man what a sick video.
Thank you!!!
The level of knowledge you have and your ability to determine everything the enemy is capable of before it happens is wild.
Genuinely really impressed with the sheer mastery on display here.
If y’all are watching this because I narrated Jimothy gaming, stay tuned for the ADV Rap coming out tomorrow night!
Bro this commentary is great I love your vibe. I realize my level at Pokémon is really shitty, but I understand what you do and is as entertaining as watching a football match. I love the way you go through you thought process. Keep it up man
Thank you!!!
Oh man I remember loving to play battle factory. No endless grinding to battle different mons. I got some decent streaks too at some point but nothing close to yours.
It’s a great thing
@@LRXC1 Back when it came out it was the shit. great memories. I was so bummed that you couldn't link battle using this format and I'm surprised that the difficulty still somewhat holds up to modern strategies.
Yeah! The difficuty is intense!@@CjqNslXUcM
Really cool how your winning team are 3 colsld blooded eyeless mouthless genderless monoliths: ice, iron and some kind of gem
LOOOOOL
Brings me straight back to when I first started playing pokemon with emerald. What a great format video, love to see it
Dude took pokémon and turned it into a calculus class
As a lover of hardcore nuzlocke content, this was very satisfying to watch
I appreciate this!!! :)
i hope you got a good nap after that you look EXHAUSTED. the circles under your eyes omg
LOL I don’t remember what I was exhausted from tbh, I think I had a stressful day at work!
It's very clear looking back why I struggled so much with the battle factory at age 8😂. I only knew resistances and click high BP move
holy shit, i can't believe it. i dont know if you remember me LRXC (i remember it stands for Little Runner Cross Country lol), but i remember you from the UU room on showdown. I went by Threw on there :) we were good buddies. i havent been on in years, but this got randomly recommended to me and i immediately remembered you! so cool to see you popping off like this
No way!!!!! Threw!!!!!! I hope you’re doing well man, I loved interacting with you in ORAS UU back in the day, you should hmu on discord sometime we could catch up. Again glad to see you!!
Absolutely love your channel I am a huge Gen 3 fan and I appreciate it how people stil make content of it
Awesome!!!
Love the commentary. Keep it up. Greetings from Holland
this was wildly entertaining 10/10 subbed
Thank you!!!! More battle factory content to come out very soon!!
id never heard of battle factory before watching this i wish i had though it seems really cool, also nice job on the adv revival commentary you've really been making it worth the time to watch the matches
Thank you!!!!

Random recommendations coming in clutch haha. Nice video dude. Got yourself another sub 👍
i fucking love this kid, finally i found a new good channel to watch
:)
I'm in both the frontier and pkclassic discords and I salute how far you've gotten. I'm currently trying to accomplish the gold factory in Platinum and it aint easy at all even with all mons listed etc.
Thanks and good luck!!!
What's the discord link? I'm thinking I'll redo the gold symbols again
I dunno what it is about having a list of all potential sets, and doing damage calcs online just feels like something I wouldn't ever do. But everyone has their own methods and this clearly works for you - I never got close to this in the battle factory, so maybe you need to have these resources to succeed.
I definitely think you need them to get very far, especially Round 8 and up where every Pokémon can be 4-8 different sets!!! Because even with the sheet you usually can’t know for sure what set a mon is going to be! I do understand the hesitancy with using external resources like this, resources not available back in 2004!
Guys, I think picking the starmie was a bad decision. Idk though he wasn’t that obvious about it.
Why do you think picking the Starmie was a bad decision?
@@LRXC1 you know I’m not really sure. Just thought that the set was really garbage and I can’t believe you chose it over wishcash. Like omg how could you make such a mistake not seeing the shell bell due to it having full hp.
Is bro set up in like a fancy hotel bathroom with all that space and toiletries with the medicine cabinet looking shit in the background? If so... Based
Earned a sub, awesome commentary throughout over an hour, looking forward to future content
Yes I plan to release a battle factory video on Friday!!’
I heard something about a thug in this location.

❤❤❤❤
I’m a casual and High level Pokémon battles look so fun and interesting
Kudos to you and the guys who have the balls to do this sort of challenge. Awesome video
It is nice you can be so quick and precise on the research. Well done. Someday, you’ll be able to know all the right moves in your heart and only then will you become a Pokémon Master. We who grew up with gen 1 full clear without the internet 😉 love the energy bro
Thank you!! You should check me out on stream in 2 hours! I’m trying to get the gold symbol blindfolded 😎😎
Me watching all this big brain strategy and logic: 🤔😲 (I only use damaging moves and spam the A button)
Now this is hype
Dude I play so much Pokémon but you are a legit G with your knowledge and crazy ass quick time analysis. Much respect brodie 💪🏾
Thanks!!!
I spent literally 7 minutes going back and forth between like 13:10 and 13:40 trying to figure out why Arcanine 2 was really bad when Arcanine 1 was an Adamant physical attacker using Crunch, just to remember we're playing Emerald, SpAtk. Nostalgia + frustration. In one shot. This video has earned way more than a like.
Electabuzz was the double slap in face for switching wish
Battle Factory = best facility
Great commentary, keep up the good work!
Agreed and thank you!!!
