I want to give a heads up alongside this video that all my merch is 20% off this weekend only! Use the code FRESHBFCM20 when you checkout, everything ships internationally. We got a Christmas Jumper, Hoodies and Posters :) freshstore.co/collections/rtgame
Also I noticed in the last episode he was using a bitter herb what lower friendship and makes them Les lilly to obay I know in other game with enough friendship you can kinda bypass the lvl cap by a far bit if you have good friendship with them
Skeledirge looks like six designers went into a room with completely different ideas and reached an extremely awkward compromise after a violent debate. It's a fire breathing crocodile, clown, candy skull, electric clarinet, Bird, mic stand, ghost, skeleton singer.
Tbh, the [Redacted] boss fight is not very difficult in scarlet because you only need steel water and maybe fire to be super effective killing all of them.
That guy is Jan, AKA Pokémon Challenges. He's known for reviewing nuzlockes, for better or for worse. He's also that guy who beat the Emerald Kaizo nuzlocke on his 151st attempt.
With the quality of the game's code being what it is, I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a bug that meant that gym badges correlated to shiny rate, or something along those lines.
"It's weird that people in the past believed in magic". Meanwhile there are fairy pokemon and psychic pokemon that can use telekinesis and float without wings. There is no reason for them not to believe in what they see every day.
@Tasorius I assume magic is basically shit that goes against whatever rules that govern the Pokémon universe, maybe they're attainable considering literally god exists but maybe people used to believe in some other type of traditional magic or some shit
@Olliekay So what they call magic must be really insane, given what Pokemon can do. Then again the main definition of magic refers to a specific power, rather than something incomprehensible or impossible. That later meaning is a lesser definition.
The absolute length RT went just to not do the third gym is astonishing. RT really just dissolved an anti-bullying group and cured a friend's doggo before getting his third gym badge
I did the same. The difference: all my pokemon were caught at lvl 10 and below then evolved and heavily leveled, so my team actually obeyed. Will state that I avoided it because the rival made me mad.
My wife got a shiny Mareep in the first 2 hours of the game she had no idea what a shiny was until she called me over and asked "Why is this a different color then the others?" I nearly spit out my drink.
‘Imagine if you walk in here early, this guy would obliterate you’ Me on my first playthrough with a level 15 fuecoco getting lost and suddenly getting smacked with a level 56 krookodile: 🧍♂️
I just barely managed to beat his Krookodile with my level 9 Spewpa and level 15 Wooper spamming protect so he'd hit himself in confusion from Thrash after Moxie boosting from wiping my entire team
I’m just busy finding cliffs that make my Revavroom drive into outer space and it’s a blast There is NOTHING better than telling your friends to gather around a specific spot so you can demonstrate a BLJ that allows you all to access a busted TM way too early
Koraidon can move backwards in the air. So if you turn him around and try to jump up a cliff you’d normally slide down, you can instead land for long enough to jump again.
By the way, RT, pretzel has a special ribbon, just check his summary to equip it. Its the Ex-Titan ribbon, implying that it's the same one you murdered by stupid means before!
I’m so bad at names I genuinely didn’t even realize that Penny and Cassiopeia were supposed to be “different people”. I just thought it was obvious that the nerdy kid you save from Team Star bullies was the hacker who wants you to take them down.
@saffalilac Plus, there's the fact that Cassiopeia is the name of a constellation, which is made up of multiple stars... a team of stars, you might say.
There’s also this distinction between Cassiopeia and the “big boss.” Hmmm, the Team Star folks had a sixth friend, and Cassiopeia over here is acting all sad after each battle?! Could they be related?!?
Now that I'm done with the game I can say this : this is a fuckin masterpiece and it's a fuckin crime that it was pushed to come out too fast. The graphical bugs really ruined its reputation and it's incredibly sad cuz the writing is incredible. I finaly did the final boss and I'm amazed. I caught the secret legendaries and I adore their design. I can't say it enough but I *adore* the character design. This game is to me, 2nd place in storyline alone after Black and White. If they hadn't crammed it for Christmas this could have been the best.
@Joe Marais It _is_ rushed, you half-wit. GameFreak doesn't decide the release schedule because they can't. They have to do tons of merchandising contract work which sets an absolute limit on a deadline for the game's release.
@Joe Marais Here's the thing : The game is great. My point is that it could have been better. The majority of it is awesome. Graphics is the only lacking thing (and maybe difficulty) but everything else is awesome. Polish is what gets sacked when the game is rushed and polish is what it needs. My point was that it is a good game but that the presentation made people think it was worse then it is.
It wasn't "Rushed", game freak just blows at making 3D games and will never put in the money and resources to make good games cause y'all still buy them with the same tired "this game would be great if the majority of it wasn't terrible, so its a great game"
Him avoiding doing the third gym is akin to someone procrastinating doing homework. “Welp, I should do dishes before doing Homework. Oh, looks like I need to take out the trash! Oh no! Looks like it’s already bedtime, time to stay up binging Netflix.”
Imagine having to search for a shiny Mareep and not just finding one within 3 hours of the game releasing in your time zone by pure chance His name is Sparkles and I love him
The persona music at the end is a metaphor for how much a player has to grind for a shiny, much like in how in Persona there is a definitely intended in-game strat of grinding mementos for a level 67 Black Frost.
The fact that you can beat the Path of Legends and Starfall Street stories, go up to the Pokémon League to go for an interview and able to get the Legendary Quartet plus shiny hunt for a Shiny Mareep all with just 2 Gym Badges shows how wild this amazing game is despite all the performance issues!
@Vivil2 I remember a promo showing an egg was found in the basket but I know nothing else rn lol. In any case, it's fine to criticise what you don't enjoy about games. Nothing is perfect and without feedback no one can move forward. Now what people do with said feedback is a different story 😅
@Haze Here I haven't done any of the classes. Are you suggesting that breeding is done in picnics, not daycares, cause I legit searched everywhere for one, and thought I was losing my mind. Edit I caved and looked it up... there is no daycare... it is tied to the picnic mechanic. Also for everyone here, i don't have a problem with the game overall. I actually like it alot, but this gym badge thing is a serious issue that shouldn't have been in the game, in fact they could probably change it in a patch (not that they're going to)
@Vivil2 all I know is it has something to do with picnics. I intend to get all the gym badges someday then learn how to get eggs in one of the classes in school. Most likely from the Home Ec class with mr. Daddy
@Haze Here yeah I found them eventually but expecting people to do all that to circumvent an arbitrary restriction is still absurd. Also I still cant find the daycare. So I still can't breed even if I wanted to. I might have to look it up after I finish the post game.
@Ribbon they can still make it harder, to catch without the badges, but also you get TMs from each gym, and the pokemarts and other shops sell more stuff to you based on badges. These are already in the game. Do you need more? Maybe get a boost to exp gain for pokemon below a certain level so you can catch up stragglers.
RT will complete the Pokedex (as much as possible), complete all the classes, and then take a year long break from the game, then maybe do the fucking gyms
It's especially funny bc that's kinda intended, the team star leaders were all bullied for one reason or another and you can actually recognize those reasons
fun fact, you can catch the legendaries (20:01) with quick balls. I threw one as a joke at the one in the Groundblight Shrine and was very surprised to see I caught it 💀
this man finished all of the titans, finished all of the team star bases, did a few classes at the academy, found one of the four treasures of ruin, and found two shinies all before doing the third badge. at this rate he'll have the whole damn pokedex before another gym badge.
Love every Pokémon vid you make. They’re all so fun💖 Also, found a full odds shiny Orthworm in my game right as this video ended, so thanks for sharing the shiny luck✨
I’m a massive fan of the persona series so to hear rt use the music and play royal makes me happy, futabas palace theme is one of my favourites as well as new world fool In 4 and some of the amala network themes in the parent series SMT
Imagine, you just came back again and again and again and again to the pokemon league until they let you try it just because they're sick to see you asking lmao
You say Penny's Theme is clearly what Toby Fox worked on, but there are so many themes in this game that I can really feel his impact on and it's wonderful.
If I had a nickel for every time RTGame enacted a genocide on sheep like creatures in an attempt to find a unique variant of said sheep-like creatures through brute force within a single area and with little to no optimization, I would have two nickels... Which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
Wo-Chien's cry is 'Scribe' and he looks JUST LIKE Magnificus the scribe of magics from inscription. Coincidence? Reference? or some other reference? I need to know.
I found a random shiny Mareep before my first badge while looking for Eevee, I then used him for the entire game and now he's level 100 and properly EV trained
I kinda how powerful yet unreliable Dan's team is, it makes boss fights actually loseable and it feels cool when NPCs are reaching a climax and the actually do have a fighting chance. Most pokemon often feels like whatever story is irrelevant because big numbers and rock paper scissors rules and no one ever actually stands a chance.
It's kinda like a glass cannon team, but instead of 'walking attack stat, paper-thin defense', it's 'every turn there's like a 50% chance that the cannon says 'fuck you' and explodes broken glass into your face'. It's hilarious and I love it
40 Years later: "I sit down with my grand children. We watch the final episode of One Peace.After that I open Clip-Share. RT uploaded a new Pokemon video, this time he does crazy sandwich combos. He still hasn't gotten the third gym badge."
Pokemon always has good soundtracks, but I stand by Scarlet and Violet really went that extra mile It's kinda weird seeing such reputable musicians/artists like Ed sheeran and Toby Fox officially partnering with pokemon - but I'll be damned if they didn't nail it music wise
I just got Violet. The first Mareep I caught was Shiny, and I immediately named it RT Candy. I know this means that I'll never find another Shiny. Worth it.
@Sadistic Insomnia To be fair, that's a switch thing, there have been reports of the switch having occasional crash issues since day one. Gamefreak just made it much worse through their inability to optimize their game being taken to new levels.
@Sadistic Insomniaare you fast traveling at all? Apparently there’s some sorta memory leak but restarting the game and fast traveling helps. I haven’t had any crashes because I fast travel periodically.
@Sadistic Insomnia I personally haven’t experienced any crashes during my run, but my Switch is also less than a year old, so maybe my system is just fresher or is more robust.
13:49 I like this actually even though its a glorified tutorial it can really teach people about theese games mew mechanics or something like sandwhiches
I want to give a heads up alongside this video that all my merch is 20% off this weekend only! Use the code FRESHBFCM20 when you checkout, everything ships internationally. We got a Christmas Jumper, Hoodies and Posters :) freshstore.co/collections/rtgame
MR RUMBLE TUMBLE GAME MAN, I AM POOR
sad to see the entirety of wales wasn't slaughtered for a sheep this time, would have made good fertilizer to sell
Mareep was my first shiny lol I found him 45 mins into day one. I couldn't be happier.
Love the game but I'd use a hoodie longer than play the game probably
If only I didn't blow my spending money on Violet :/
Throughout every one of these things, I picture poor Pepper being the Only Sane Man of the team, since he's the only one who's not disobeying Lettuce.
@vaspeter2600 he caught it at level 20 something
Pepper and evolved wooper boi were the only two obeying him.
Troper sighted
Also I noticed in the last episode he was using a bitter herb what lower friendship and makes them Les lilly to obay I know in other game with enough friendship you can kinda bypass the lvl cap by a far bit if you have good friendship with them
@Justice I wish I knew this earlier. I rushed to do the gyms right before the next cap because I thought I had to or they would disobey.
The thing I’m worried about is that if he keeps avoiding gyms he’ll eventually only have the gyms left to do.
There's still the 4 Ruin mons
He has to do all shiny pokedex now
After watching the VOD he's going to be fine honestly.
@Inquisitor Thomas cant enter that without finishing gyms and e4
Well technically there’s still area 0 but he’ll definitely be over leveled for the area.
I'm impressed by Skeledirges design as the fire looks somewhat like hair, thus they somehow managed to make a reptile look like it's balding.
When I first saw it it reminded me of a clown. Just the white face and placement of the red "hair"
it looks like a clown
a balding, firey clown
@Aerius Astrum fuecoco and crocolor feel a lot more focused and coherent. I like crocolor but just too much going on.
@Aerius Astrum And I love Skeledirge all the same
Skeledirge looks like six designers went into a room with completely different ideas and reached an extremely awkward compromise after a violent debate. It's a fire breathing crocodile, clown, candy skull, electric clarinet, Bird, mic stand, ghost, skeleton singer.
I know he's holding it off as long as possible but if he never does the gyms he'll never see the craziest final boss in pokemon and that makes me sad
You should go to his stream archive channel on Clip-Share, great uncut content
@-finleymorris04- Well he could always complete the pokedex
Maybe I am biased but coming off Zolo, but new final boss is mid
@IslamSaysAllah! weird I kept heard them being called wufus? Or something like that
Tbh, the [Redacted] boss fight is not very difficult in scarlet because you only need steel water and maybe fire to be super effective killing all of them.
can’t wait to see him beat the whole game without doing any gyms
Like thats possible
Only if it was possible
He did 2 already so barely any is a better way to say it
I love how the kaneshiro palace theme begins playing once the shiny hunt begins. We can never escape Daneshiro, even outside of persona.
Also the "Take over" music at the end when he encountered the shiny Mareep. I love both choices
@RTGame Dolla Dolla bills yall
MONEY
FOR REAL?!
damn brat... i'll sue !
I really wanna see how that guy who's reviewed Dan's nuzlocks would react to Dan purposefully not getting the gym badges so none of his team obeys
@The Salty Ralts literally just the stereotype of the disdainful gay man
That guy is Jan, AKA Pokémon Challenges. He's known for reviewing nuzlockes, for better or for worse. He's also that guy who beat the Emerald Kaizo nuzlocke on his 151st attempt.
@Cloudyman new challenge >:)
Sadly he wont he only reacts to pokemon challenges like nuzlockes and such
Its a commonly known fact that your shiny odds are drastically increased if you have exactly 2 gym badges
With the quality of the game's code being what it is, I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a bug that meant that gym badges correlated to shiny rate, or something along those lines.
"It's weird that people in the past believed in magic". Meanwhile there are fairy pokemon and psychic pokemon that can use telekinesis and float without wings. There is no reason for them not to believe in what they see every day.
@Jonathan Pilcher I wish I would see one again.
@Olliekay Rules that are really arbitrary and don't mean much.
@Tasorius I assume magic is basically shit that goes against whatever rules that govern the Pokémon universe, maybe they're attainable considering literally god exists but maybe people used to believe in some other type of traditional magic or some shit
@Olliekay So what they call magic must be really insane, given what Pokemon can do.
Then again the main definition of magic refers to a specific power, rather than something incomprehensible or impossible. That later meaning is a lesser definition.
@Tasorius I believe in em too, I had my own experience when I heard scratching on the wall then literally had my bed shaken, freaky stuff
The absolute length RT went just to not do the third gym is astonishing. RT really just dissolved an anti-bullying group and cured a friend's doggo before getting his third gym badge
I did the same. The difference: all my pokemon were caught at lvl 10 and below then evolved and heavily leveled, so my team actually obeyed. Will state that I avoided it because the rival made me mad.
@techno156 he'll go back in time to un-do the first two gyms
Next he's going to create a time machine and visit the past before even going near the third gym.
My wife got a shiny Mareep in the first 2 hours of the game she had no idea what a shiny was until she called me over and asked "Why is this a different color then the others?" I nearly spit out my drink.
In this episode, RT finishes Starfall Road, and instead of finally doing to gym challenge, begins looking for an old friend.
@Dan nah they are just voices in RT's head but nobody else can hear them even through telepathy.
@Predatorsoulis twitch chat the antagonist?
Lol sounds like the description for an episode of the RT anime
"Taffy, no!" and "Pretzel, no!" are now my favourite quotes of this playthrough
"VON KARMA, NO!"
...I sense a missed opportunity.
‘Imagine if you walk in here early, this guy would obliterate you’
Me on my first playthrough with a level 15 fuecoco getting lost and suddenly getting smacked with a level 56 krookodile: 🧍♂️
@ChaoticTeal I'm sorry what??? For real, you can run from TRAINERS NOW???
@ChaoticTeal HUH???
@ChaoticTeal WAIT YOU CAN WHAT????
Yeah, that was the battle where I learned you can run from trainers now... Poor Sprigatito didn't stand a chance
I just barely managed to beat his Krookodile with my level 9 Spewpa and level 15 Wooper spamming protect so he'd hit himself in confusion from Thrash after Moxie boosting from wiping my entire team
I’m just busy finding cliffs that make my Revavroom drive into outer space and it’s a blast
There is NOTHING better than telling your friends to gather around a specific spot so you can demonstrate a BLJ that allows you all to access a busted TM way too early
Revaroom use bounce
Koraidon can move backwards in the air. So if you turn him around and try to jump up a cliff you’d normally slide down, you can instead land for long enough to jump again.
wait what??? please elaborate i’d love to do this lol
wait wHAT
By the way, RT, pretzel has a special ribbon, just check his summary to equip it. Its the Ex-Titan ribbon, implying that it's the same one you murdered by stupid means before!
Plus when you send it out it would say 'Pretzel the ex-titan' which is pretty cool
I’m so bad at names I genuinely didn’t even realize that Penny and Cassiopeia were supposed to be “different people”. I just thought it was obvious that the nerdy kid you save from Team Star bullies was the hacker who wants you to take them down.
@saffalilac Plus, there's the fact that Cassiopeia is the name of a constellation, which is made up of multiple stars... a team of stars, you might say.
There’s also this distinction between Cassiopeia and the “big boss.” Hmmm, the Team Star folks had a sixth friend, and Cassiopeia over here is acting all sad after each battle?! Could they be related?!?
The snail Pokemons cry is literally "scribe" and it was sealed with some tablets. Neat.
Shocked he didn’t make a subscribe joke when it just said “scriiibe”
"' i'm trapped in a snail's body '" written in snail slime on the ground {this is a quote}
March 2023, everything else in the game is done. Dan finally decides to get the third gym badge, another 40% of the game suddenly opens up.
Dan: “Oh look, Scarlet and Violet got an expansion with another 400 Pokémon.
Now that I'm done with the game I can say this : this is a fuckin masterpiece and it's a fuckin crime that it was pushed to come out too fast. The graphical bugs really ruined its reputation and it's incredibly sad cuz the writing is incredible. I finaly did the final boss and I'm amazed. I caught the secret legendaries and I adore their design. I can't say it enough but I *adore* the character design. This game is to me, 2nd place in storyline alone after Black and White. If they hadn't crammed it for Christmas this could have been the best.

That's how I feel with a lot of the 3D pkm games :/ Potential, but ultimately not good enough bc of rushed release date.
Imagine being sent off to an individual study and being the sole reason the course needs to be reworked.
He will never, he will find a way to bust into the Pokemon league so that he can become champion without ever getting the third gym bad
Fun fact, before the day 1 patch it didn't check whether or not you had all 8 gym badges and you could just go right in
Him avoiding doing the third gym is akin to someone procrastinating doing homework. “Welp, I should do dishes before doing Homework. Oh, looks like I need to take out the trash! Oh no! Looks like it’s already bedtime, time to stay up binging Netflix.”
Imagine having to search for a shiny Mareep and not just finding one within 3 hours of the game releasing in your time zone by pure chance
His name is Sparkles and I love him
The funniest part about his aversion for gym badges in this game is that supposedly, gym badge amount increases the shiny chance rate
The persona music at the end is a metaphor for how much a player has to grind for a shiny, much like in how in Persona there is a definitely intended in-game strat of grinding mementos for a level 67 Black Frost.
@Abby Collins Take Over - Persona 5 Royal
What is the song called? I’ve been trying to find out since it’s such a banger.
Would be more accurate if there were DLC legendaries that just shouldn't even exist
FOR REAL?!
its going to be weird when (or if) RT actually has badges and Taffy listens to him consistently.
I love how people are losing ther mind over the fact that he won't do the gym battles
The fact that you can beat the Path of Legends and Starfall Street stories, go up to the Pokémon League to go for an interview and able to get the Legendary Quartet plus shiny hunt for a Shiny Mareep all with just 2 Gym Badges shows how wild this amazing game is despite all the performance issues!
@Vivil2 I remember a promo showing an egg was found in the basket but I know nothing else rn lol. In any case, it's fine to criticise what you don't enjoy about games. Nothing is perfect and without feedback no one can move forward. Now what people do with said feedback is a different story 😅
@Haze Here I haven't done any of the classes. Are you suggesting that breeding is done in picnics, not daycares, cause I legit searched everywhere for one, and thought I was losing my mind.
Edit I caved and looked it up... there is no daycare... it is tied to the picnic mechanic.
Also for everyone here, i don't have a problem with the game overall. I actually like it alot, but this gym badge thing is a serious issue that shouldn't have been in the game, in fact they could probably change it in a patch (not that they're going to)
@Vivil2 all I know is it has something to do with picnics. I intend to get all the gym badges someday then learn how to get eggs in one of the classes in school. Most likely from the Home Ec class with mr. Daddy
@Haze Here yeah I found them eventually but expecting people to do all that to circumvent an arbitrary restriction is still absurd.
Also I still cant find the daycare. So I still can't breed even if I wanted to. I might have to look it up after I finish the post game.
@Ribbon they can still make it harder, to catch without the badges, but also you get TMs from each gym, and the pokemarts and other shops sell more stuff to you based on badges.
These are already in the game. Do you need more?
Maybe get a boost to exp gain for pokemon below a certain level so you can catch up stragglers.
glad to see that dan hasn't left his holding the stream hostage ways behind
RT goes from beating the game with pokemon that dont listen to him, to beating the game with ONLY a shiny mareep. This is content overload
RT will complete the Pokedex (as much as possible), complete all the classes, and then take a year long break from the game, then maybe do the fucking gyms
[BREAKING NEWS] Irishman who hates Gyms trains an elite team of disobedient Pokémon whilst completing the Pokédex!
I must applaud the dedication to avoiding the gyms
RT's unwarranted hatred of Atticus brings me so much joy
@CyberneticSquid it was my original username
@Atticus Moore Are you named Atticus by any chance
It's especially funny bc that's kinda intended, the team star leaders were all bullied for one reason or another and you can actually recognize those reasons
@AςeDaniaMMX lmao
This might be the funniest comment/reply triple combo I’ve seen
RTGame losing 20 Ultra Balls while attempting to catch a mossy snail is hilarious.
RT has so much PTSD from dying in the first gym he will do anything to avoid them 🤣
8:53 Literally me. I walked into there and got murdered by that Krookodile right at the start of my adventure
Thank u for showing the shiny hunt method.
Can’t wait for more two gym’s gameplay
fun fact, you can catch the legendaries (20:01) with quick balls. I threw one as a joke at the one in the Groundblight Shrine and was very surprised to see I caught it 💀
All I'm saying is, getting literally everything the game allows you to before fighting the 3rd gym is a viable perfectionist method 😂
I am a time traveler. I am here to tell you that RT still only has 2 gym badges.
One of my favorite things from this series is that every time he says "Martini" it sounds like he's saying RT which makes him talk to himself
this man finished all of the titans, finished all of the team star bases, did a few classes at the academy, found one of the four treasures of ruin, and found two shinies all before doing the third badge. at this rate he'll have the whole damn pokedex before another gym badge.
The stall going to the 3rd gym strat LUL
I love how he used Persona 5 music for the shiny hunt.
Love every Pokémon vid you make. They’re all so fun💖 Also, found a full odds shiny Orthworm in my game right as this video ended, so thanks for sharing the shiny luck✨
8:43 “imagine you just walk in here early”
Aka me at level 15, taking a wrong turn out of the town.
5:09 Does that mean the director and all the teachers are going to hand in their resignation papers again?
I like how persona ost made its way into the videos after he experienced the game, its full of bangers
I’m a massive fan of the persona series so to hear rt use the music and play royal makes me happy, futabas palace theme is one of my favourites as well as new world fool In 4 and some of the amala network themes in the parent series SMT
Imagine, you just came back again and again and again and again to the pokemon league until they let you try it just because they're sick to see you asking lmao
Can't wait to see him beat gym 3 :D
We have bad news for you.
You say Penny's Theme is clearly what Toby Fox worked on, but there are so many themes in this game that I can really feel his impact on and it's wonderful.
7:15 Penny's story is literally just Catch Me If You Can but the Pokemon league is the FBI
Fairly soon RT's gonna manage to find a way to get to the final boss before fighting the 3rd gym
rt's stubbornness to avoid the gyms is honestly astounding
The "RT method" is simply save scumming. It's existed in gaming since the oldest games. XD
I was really hoping the shiny would show up just for dan to accidentally auto battle it to death.
@Dante Glory we get enough pain from the performance issues. No more please
@Haze Here That makes sense but it's also sad cause that stops many amazing clipable moments from happening.
Iirc you can't autobattle shinies
Taffy is a freaking antihero I swear
RT is a gamer, he doesn't go to gyms 😎😎😎
I'm surprised the chat hasn't immediately used his tendency to not do what they want against him.
If I had a nickel for every time RTGame enacted a genocide on sheep like creatures in an attempt to find a unique variant of said sheep-like creatures through brute force within a single area and with little to no optimization, I would have two nickels...
Which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.
Haven’t finished the video but I was going into this hopeful it would be the gyms finally but RT found a way to avoid hitting the gym still
I lowkey want to see just how long he can delay doing the 3rd gym
Awwww Mareep was just camera shy!!
She couldn't stomach appearing in front of the entire chat but made sure to drop by after the stream wrapped up ♥
"Verily is thy long-hidden countenance a sight for sore eyes, my lady."
"THE WORST."
Wo-Chien's cry is 'Scribe' and he looks JUST LIKE Magnificus the scribe of magics from inscription. Coincidence? Reference? or some other reference? I need to know.
I found a random shiny Mareep before my first badge while looking for Eevee, I then used him for the entire game and now he's level 100 and properly EV trained
The history teachers hair just spasms the entire time
So is Daniel's goal to drive his editor insane. Because i think it working.
You can see their madness and fatigue in the editing.
I never thought I'd be so excited to see a game being beaten literally backwards
You may not be playing as Game Freak intended, but you're playing as God intended.
@Heinz Doofenshmirtz *Bidoof
*Arceus
True RT moment to say „thats all for today“ just to keep grinding the game off stream. Lord bless you mr rumbletumble
I just gotta say, i love that rt is incorporting persona music into his stuff now, it's superb 👌
Hoping to see you raise the stakes this episode
Dan you should get your team to level 100 before taking on the gyms
The way Garchomp flies makes sense, when you remember it's a plane.
I kinda how powerful yet unreliable Dan's team is, it makes boss fights actually loseable and it feels cool when NPCs are reaching a climax and the actually do have a fighting chance. Most pokemon often feels like whatever story is irrelevant because big numbers and rock paper scissors rules and no one ever actually stands a chance.
It's kinda like a glass cannon team, but instead of 'walking attack stat, paper-thin defense', it's 'every turn there's like a 50% chance that the cannon says 'fuck you' and explodes broken glass into your face'. It's hilarious and I love it
Ditto
can't wait until speedruns actually skip all the gyms and rt is finally proven right in his playthrough choices
No, two gyms are necessary
Penny's theme goes SO HARD!
The Legendary Four are the best pokemon in this game hands down. My favorite is the ice one c:
I remember when in my first run I unlocked the climbing ability with lvl 30 Pokémon and found a gar chomp at the crater.. man carried me all the way
40 Years later: "I sit down with my grand children. We watch the final episode of One Peace.After that I open Clip-Share. RT uploaded a new Pokemon video, this time he does crazy sandwich combos. He still hasn't gotten the third gym badge."
I love how RT plays OST from other games he played in the background, it's always so nice to hear those songs 😊
Cant wait two something years for the nex playthrough of the next pokemon game!
And then you beat it first try and watch as they descend into madness wondering what just happened
Pokemon always has good soundtracks, but I stand by Scarlet and Violet really went that extra mile
It's kinda weird seeing such reputable musicians/artists like Ed sheeran and Toby Fox officially partnering with pokemon - but I'll be damned if they didn't nail it music wise
I am so happy other people played the game this way too :)
Next title is: Playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet but we finally beat the third gym
love the usage of the dungeon themes, especially price being the theme of Daneshiro now.
Every "Irish Lads" video Dan has been part of--has been training for this run
"They finally made a dolphin pokemon"
Lanturn: am I a joke to you
Lanturn is an anglerfish, hence ya know, the light on its head. No clue why you think it's a dolphin
I just got Violet. The first Mareep I caught was Shiny, and I immediately named it RT Candy.
I know this means that I'll never find another Shiny.
Worth it.
This makes me wanna get the game myself while i wait for a pokemon black and white remake.
@Sadistic Insomnia To be fair, that's a switch thing, there have been reports of the switch having occasional crash issues since day one. Gamefreak just made it much worse through their inability to optimize their game being taken to new levels.
@Inquisitor Thomas same here and I got mine around the time Piranha Plant got into Smash
I hear emulators run smoother than switch
@Sadistic Insomniaare you fast traveling at all? Apparently there’s some sorta memory leak but restarting the game and fast traveling helps. I haven’t had any crashes because I fast travel periodically.
@Sadistic Insomnia I personally haven’t experienced any crashes during my run, but my Switch is also less than a year old, so maybe my system is just fresher or is more robust.
Gotta love RT incorporating P5 music into his videos now. They’re all serious bops
13:49 I like this actually even though its a glorified tutorial it can really teach people about theese games mew mechanics or something like sandwhiches
love that you caught the shiny Mareep and so excited to be hearing the persona music in the background, love the music!
I would be exited to see some gym progression in the next vid but I have a feeling that isn't happening anytime soon.
