1. Only my starter in battle
2. No items in battle, except held items

Other rules:
— My Pokemon have perfect genetics to ensure fair comparison between species.
— *Pokeballs & Pokedolls are allowed in battle

— Skipping the bike is not allowed
— Saving between league members is allowed
— If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter
— I can pause the game & timer to take breaks
— The footage is sped up / slowed down to match the pace of my narration
*Double-Team:
— Almost every Pokemon can learn Double-Team through TM

— It raises evasion
— It triggers the badge boost
— Banning the TM allows Pokemon who learn it through level up to use it
— I believe evasion is part of Pokemon and shouldn’t be banned entirely
— I don’t want the videos to all be double-team spam though, that’s not fun or entertaining

Happy new year to Scott, his team, and this awesome community. Seriously, this is probably the most consistently pleasant comment sections on youtube.
Weirdly mGBA used to have better framerates during fast forward, but it changed in an update. I filed a bug report but I don't believe it was ever acknowledged in any capacity (like, not even a "won't fix"; just straight-up ghosted). I believe 0.9.1 is the last version where the fast-forward is reasonably smooth, at least from the perspective of "I don't find it immediately obvious whether or not frames are being dropped", though of course I'm not sure how smooth it would be if you're recording and being stuck with an older version is… less than ideal, long-term.
Very cool to see you revisit the very first soloist as well as the former channel mascot after all this time
Hey Scott, regarding your talk about the reshuffling:
Think about which Pokémon are left to rank and decide then. It might be a more subjective feel, but you played many games with a lot of good Pokémon recently, so it makes sense why many of your tier lists feel top heavy at the moment. But this will change once you get more base and middle forms into your tier lists.
Also don't forget that you already did all the legendaries, so that's already 5 extra slots for the top tiers just in Yellow.
Butterfree did better than I thought.
Finally, a Pokemon content creator who loves Butterfree as much as I do
I saw your tier list I swore you've done a beedrill run
Why not start the timer at the start of the first battle in the lab or something like that?
It's a shame the rival doesn't take advantage of Flareon's monstrous Attack by teaching it Body Slam or Double Edge.
What a wonderful December Scott. You absolutely killed it. Happy new year!
that’s a great time for butterfree
Mewtwo vs def best pokemon xmas
My 5 yo son and I watch your videos. December was absolutely amazing for us. He would curl up on the couch next to me and we’d just chill. It was a routine and I loved bonding with him over something we both love. I got him the Kanto starters plushies for Christmas and he was ecstatic. He knows their types and has learned to read the types because of your videos! Thank you so much for facilitating some great memories with my son.
Honestly a good April fools video would be to do a run with venomoth but randomize it’s type
listen to first few minutes of the intro
Don't you ever disrespect Shrek like that u_u
happy new year loved the video
Loved your content output this year and, particularly this month. Also, wanted to thank you because your voice always puts me to sleep when I'm in bed.
i'm not super knowledgeable on like coding & stuff, but the new emulator stuff seems sick! definitely excited to see it in action some more.
First time I played Halo was also at New years as a kid lol.
Ah a fellow VS Code enjoyer!
Instead of bumping a bunch of Pkmn down, I am in favor of introducing a S+ rank and rank the Top Performers Up
Who do I have to pay for Snowy's emulator? I want it!
happy new year scott!! supersonic is actually servicable after compound eyes.
also the halo story put me on edge just hearing about it. thats definitely something that would frustrate me as a kid
Happy New Year! Was expecting quite close to an hour, so the final time was a pleasant surprise! I'm sure it can get under 50 minutes with optimizations and possibly a bit of luck. Looking forward to everything coming up in 2024!
Dragonite and machack or we u said run coming soon?? And I knew u did a butterfree vid. before and i saw jrose caterpie run and I was like yo Scott did a butterflies run Ina watch that. But then I saw this vid
Oh god, was it the Shrek Mario party knock off? I remember that nightmare of a game
I thought the Venomoth was going to be the Fire / Rock type.
Single edge is called slash,
Tripple edge is called scratch. ;p
If you can't speak french, a good April fools joke would be making a video entirely in badly spoken french. With subtitles, of course.
There was a cat incident, I had to mewve my phone.
Scott , since it’s streaming month and you’re kinda taking a vacation could you play Pokémon crystal legacy just for some fun? Would be a new journey to watch with you.
"Ready Johto boy?"
