Shoutouts to Mah-Dry-Bread for basically doing this first. Go watch his video too to see how he did it: kzhead.info/sun/ksqhiaZ7aHWPd4U/bejne.html Mah-Dry-Bread did a No Healing run at a Pokecenters and really only used the PC to deposit Pokemon, so we did slightly different challenges that are both pretty cool and have their own problems to solve (his is edited much better than mine too). Go check it out!

Just to clarify, I only used the PC to withdraw Pokemon to actually add them to the team and despot ones that I'll literally never withdraw ever again. So I think I used the PC twice, both times just to withdraw something that I just caught. I also didn't use legendaries, so it's actually a pretty different run. Great job on the run!

He turns down that Zigzagoon suggestion early, but I can't help but think how good that could have been. For one thing, Linoone is a great HM slave (strength, cut, rock smash, and surf) so you can drain its pp and then replace it with an HM move, most of which are themselves high-pp and STAB. You can also learn Covet to get heart scales that can bring back old moves that ran out of PP. And the big thing is that after level 30, the Pickup ability starts to grab hyper potions, full heals, rare candies, and even a 1% chance at an ether (a free 10 pp back). I haven't finished the video yet and I'm sure Ant manages just fine without it, but I certainly think I would have grabbed a Zigzagoon with pickup early!

@TheDyingFox2 жыл бұрын
Actually, I should correct myself. I maybe wrong but I think the limiting factor of the challenge is move PP, and not HP. Zigzagoon takes several battles to pick up an item (I think pick up ability = 10% chance for item after each battle?). This means more wild battles needed. Mostofthe time, it will pick up a potion or antidote. The chance of low level Zigzagoon picking up a PP restoring item, the ether, is so low it may not work most of the time. So to conserve PP, I will agree with SmallAnt. Interesting topic though. But as you mentioned, PP might not be an issue if used as a HM slave, where it can keep forgetting and relearning the HM move.

My first shiny Pokémon was a Riolu in Y, in Route 22, after I got the Master Ball. I believe I was on my way to the League after getting the last badge, flew to Santalune City as a shortcut, accidentally roller-skated into the first patch of grass on the Route, and a Shiny Riolu popped out, and I just freaked out. I panicked and threw the Master Ball, and I named him Sirius. Still got him, even after I started a new run, just traded him over to Alpha Sapphire. Riolu was my first legit shiny, but before then, I used the Action Replay a LOT of times as a kid on Diamond/Pearl to cheat in a lot of shinies, as well as always OHKO'ing everything, having infinite HP, getting max EXP from a level 2 to get to level 100 instantly, and many other boring silly codes. Also had some legendaries appear in the wild just because I couldn't get them otherwise, which I think is fair, for the Pokédex. Although I did also tend to use the code that gave me an instant complete Pokédex, mostly so I could see all the Pokémon in existence coz I didn't know of Serebii back then, and it was also to hear all of their cries, slowed down, which I loved to do. At some point though I ended up finding the AR making gameplay too easy and boring, as I also used it in PMD and Ranger to make me win quickly. I don't know when, but at some point I decided to just stop ever using the AR again and I haven't used it since. Maybe when I was, like, 14 or 15 or something, I dunno. Now, whenever I DO find a LEGIT Shiny, I get much more excited than just hacking it into the game with the AR. :) I did use the AR once within the last year though to get a Nuzleaf in Diamond, because I wanted to do a run where I only use Cynthia's Platinum team, and I needed to breed Extrasensory onto a Budew, and the only close match I could find was Nuzleaf, the other way I believe was a long chain of several many Pokémon which I was too impatient with. And I don't have Ruby, so I couldn't get a Nuzleaf legitimately in the game. So I just spent SEVERAL minutes trying to get the AR to work on my very old DS lite, type in a code to make Nuzleaf appear in the wild, find one, catch it, save, put the game in my good DSi, and then grind it up to level 48-49-whatever to get Extrasensory and then breed it with a Roselia. I dunno if the other method without AR would have gone faster, but I was stubborn lol I also had to catch a Wobbuffet, breed Mirror Coat onto a Shellos and THEN breed THAT onto a Feebas. I wanted my Cynthia team to have the EXACT same move sets as hers, but natures were not as important. Although, my Feebas does not have a nature that likes dry food, so I might not be able to evolve it into a Milotic... so I may have to breed a new one in the same game lol

To do this run without struggling once and without ever fighting a wild Pokemon, pretty impressive, and while it seems he only did the Move Deleter trick pretty sparingly, I'm naturally curious as to whether or not this run is viable without it. It probably is, I just wonder if it's still entertaining or if becomes grindy as a result. In any case, a very interesting and pretty well routed run. Pretty impressive given that this is essentially something you made up on the fly, it's not like there's a template to follow here, yet there definitely appears to have been a lot of thought and strategy put into this. Shows a wealth of game knowledge and general Pokemon speed-running tactics to have been able to complete this run in a single sitting. I'm sure an "optimized" run of this would be pretty intense, with an even closer shave on PP usage, even less grinding, and so on.

@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena4 жыл бұрын
Love the challenge and I've tried it myself. Here are some tips: 1st pick: Mudkip. Just do it. Zig is REALLY good. He can be an HM slave, item thief @ Lvl 35 (Covet), and use the Pickup ability to rack up extra items/money. Not to mention his STAB HMs pack a punch. Taillow is #1 choice. Guts + 35PP Wing Attack + PP Up + Max Ethers + fast growth rate + Facade. Best flier too. This is the mon you use to EXP Share other mons in your party who need the extra PP. Also check for Hidden Power. If it's physical, it will come in great on Swellow. I ran an HP Ground set and it was amazing. Shroomish is good. Bullet Seed is great early game for conserving PP with the two early heals. Also drain moves and Leech Seed are excellent, especially on early game Magikarp, Silcoon, and Cascoon. Once you get past those, Breloom comes in clutch with 30PP Mach Punch, amongst other moves. Plus it handles Wallace's Whiscash with no trouble. Electrike. It's nigh mandatory for the E4 unless you want to collect Voltorb/Magnemite post Norman which is harder to pull off when conserving PP. Tackle and Quick Attack suck, just hold out for Spark @ Lvl 26. Also not a bad suggestion to hold off evolution until Lvl 33 for Bite. Also check Hidden Power for Grass, Fire, Water, or Ice. It provides great coverage. Other great picks: Makuhita, Magikarp, and Numel, though you only get Numel after the second heal, which means less PP during the story. Other potential picks: Zubat, Tentacool, Aron, Oddish, Lotad, Ralts, Abra, Whismur, Geodude, Feebas, and Wailmer. These guys are decent but either their growth rate is slow, they are only obtainable after the 2nd heal, or they don't have a great movepool selection. Side Note: Castform goes straight to your P.C. in Emerald if you already have a full party, and you most certainly do not want to be stuck with Castform. Additionally, I love getting my 6 party members early on because you can reset if your natures or IVs are shoddy.

He turns down that Zigzagoon suggestion early, but I can't help but think how good that could have been. For one thing, Linoone is a great HM slave (strength, cut, rock smash, and surf) so you can drain its pp and then replace it with an HM move, most of which are themselves high-pp and STAB. You can also learn Covet to get heart scales that can bring back old moves that ran out of PP. And the big thing is that after level 30, the Pickup ability starts to grab hyper potions, full heals, rare candies, and even a 1% chance at an ether (a free 10 pp back). I haven't finished the video yet and I'm sure Ant manages just fine without it, but I certainly think I would have grabbed a Zigzagoon with pickup early!
this^ and Linoone at lv 20 keeps pickup ability, he even had 1 free space for it in the end.
He also adds that he can avoid early double battles. But I too would go for Zigzagoon, so run is definitely possible, might just take more time
@@danielyeap5952 Good point, forgot that. Wonder if it would have been possible to go back for the Zigzagoon at a somewhat later time and still avoid the double battles.
Actually, I should correct myself. I maybe wrong but I think the limiting factor of the challenge is move PP, and not HP. Zigzagoon takes several battles to pick up an item (I think pick up ability = 10% chance for item after each battle?). This means more wild battles needed. Mostofthe time, it will pick up a potion or antidote. The chance of low level Zigzagoon picking up a PP restoring item, the ether, is so low it may not work most of the time. So to conserve PP, I will agree with SmallAnt. Interesting topic though. But as you mentioned, PP might not be an issue if used as a HM slave, where it can keep forgetting and relearning the HM move.
Please don't drain the zigzagoon's pp

this is like 4 months later but i understand why you would think that. the orbs are actually supposed to go the opposite color scheme, as it matches the orbs in the pokemon's heads
@@ezbakeovenofficial nope, Red orb to groundon, Blue to Kyogre. The correct colored Orb enables Primal Reversion and ultimate power. The incorrect Orb just pissed them off and nothing else. Check out Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. They are either colorblind or just stupid.
I mean even if they are colorblind the orbs are still gonna be different colored than the primals
@@Skullhawk13 they need to be stupid cuz the orbs have their respective color as their name
@@Skullhawk13 well according to omega ruby and alpha sapphire those two games takes place in a alternate universe so you can't apply logic from those games to pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. there is no primal reversion, no mega evolutions, and no pokemon past gen 3. red orb awakens and controls groudon. blue orb awakens and controls kyogre. the opposite orb pisses them off, that part is correct, the rest is not applicable to pokemon R/S/E.

I still remember my first shiny pokemon was a magikarp, literally the 2nd encounter after catching red gyarados...
I caught my (first ever) shiny magikarp surfing on the lake of rage within sight of the red gyrados lol i feel u dude
That's Red Gyarados's little brother, Yellow Magikarp
my first shiny was Eevee, the one you get from bill before red gyarados...
Same
My first shiny Pokémon was a Riolu in Y, in Route 22, after I got the Master Ball. I believe I was on my way to the League after getting the last badge, flew to Santalune City as a shortcut, accidentally roller-skated into the first patch of grass on the Route, and a Shiny Riolu popped out, and I just freaked out. I panicked and threw the Master Ball, and I named him Sirius. Still got him, even after I started a new run, just traded him over to Alpha Sapphire. Riolu was my first legit shiny, but before then, I used the Action Replay a LOT of times as a kid on Diamond/Pearl to cheat in a lot of shinies, as well as always OHKO'ing everything, having infinite HP, getting max EXP from a level 2 to get to level 100 instantly, and many other boring silly codes. Also had some legendaries appear in the wild just because I couldn't get them otherwise, which I think is fair, for the Pokédex. Although I did also tend to use the code that gave me an instant complete Pokédex, mostly so I could see all the Pokémon in existence coz I didn't know of Serebii back then, and it was also to hear all of their cries, slowed down, which I loved to do. At some point though I ended up finding the AR making gameplay too easy and boring, as I also used it in PMD and Ranger to make me win quickly. I don't know when, but at some point I decided to just stop ever using the AR again and I haven't used it since. Maybe when I was, like, 14 or 15 or something, I dunno. Now, whenever I DO find a LEGIT Shiny, I get much more excited than just hacking it into the game with the AR. :) I did use the AR once within the last year though to get a Nuzleaf in Diamond, because I wanted to do a run where I only use Cynthia's Platinum team, and I needed to breed Extrasensory onto a Budew, and the only close match I could find was Nuzleaf, the other way I believe was a long chain of several many Pokémon which I was too impatient with. And I don't have Ruby, so I couldn't get a Nuzleaf legitimately in the game. So I just spent SEVERAL minutes trying to get the AR to work on my very old DS lite, type in a code to make Nuzleaf appear in the wild, find one, catch it, save, put the game in my good DSi, and then grind it up to level 48-49-whatever to get Extrasensory and then breed it with a Roselia. I dunno if the other method without AR would have gone faster, but I was stubborn lol I also had to catch a Wobbuffet, breed Mirror Coat onto a Shellos and THEN breed THAT onto a Feebas. I wanted my Cynthia team to have the EXACT same move sets as hers, but natures were not as important. Although, my Feebas does not have a nature that likes dry food, so I might not be able to evolve it into a Milotic... so I may have to breed a new one in the same game lol

Damn you were really lucky with the shiny Rayquaza! Specifically Emerald's RNG is "broken" so that soft resetting doesn't work for shiny hunting. The "shiny frame" is fixed meaning the moment you start a new file, you have a small chance of even being able to get shinies from soft resetting.

To do this run without struggling once and without ever fighting a wild Pokemon, pretty impressive, and while it seems he only did the Move Deleter trick pretty sparingly, I'm naturally curious as to whether or not this run is viable without it. It probably is, I just wonder if it's still entertaining or if becomes grindy as a result. In any case, a very interesting and pretty well routed run. Pretty impressive given that this is essentially something you made up on the fly, it's not like there's a template to follow here, yet there definitely appears to have been a lot of thought and strategy put into this. Shows a wealth of game knowledge and general Pokemon speed-running tactics to have been able to complete this run in a single sitting. I'm sure an "optimized" run of this would be pretty intense, with an even closer shave on PP usage, even less grinding, and so on.

@@KouvolaMies Oh, so the challenge based around not being able to gain PP isn't as hard in the game which includes the ability to replace Pokemon in your party with anything you catch at the moment you catch it, and where you can use TMs infinitely to gain PP anywhere outside of battle? Also, they partly provide the free heals because most players would either go to the Pokemon centre immediatly anyway, would forget to do so and kick themself five minutes later, or would wish that they'd done so before advancing if the heal wasn't provided.
@HettGutt in Pokemon Sun and Moon you are forced to walk into a pokemon center by the tutorial at the beginning of the run about 30min in though the record holder goes in voluntarily around the 3 hour and 6min mark so about only two times in the run as the poke mart is in the pokemon center in those games
Love the challenge and I've tried it myself. Here are some tips: 1st pick: Mudkip. Just do it. Zig is REALLY good. He can be an HM slave, item thief @ Lvl 35 (Covet), and use the Pickup ability to rack up extra items/money. Not to mention his STAB HMs pack a punch. Taillow is #1 choice. Guts + 35PP Wing Attack + PP Up + Max Ethers + fast growth rate + Facade. Best flier too. This is the mon you use to EXP Share other mons in your party who need the extra PP. Also check for Hidden Power. If it's physical, it will come in great on Swellow. I ran an HP Ground set and it was amazing. Shroomish is good. Bullet Seed is great early game for conserving PP with the two early heals. Also drain moves and Leech Seed are excellent, especially on early game Magikarp, Silcoon, and Cascoon. Once you get past those, Breloom comes in clutch with 30PP Mach Punch, amongst other moves. Plus it handles Wallace's Whiscash with no trouble. Electrike. It's nigh mandatory for the E4 unless you want to collect Voltorb/Magnemite post Norman which is harder to pull off when conserving PP. Tackle and Quick Attack suck, just hold out for Spark @ Lvl 26. Also not a bad suggestion to hold off evolution until Lvl 33 for Bite. Also check Hidden Power for Grass, Fire, Water, or Ice. It provides great coverage. Other great picks: Makuhita, Magikarp, and Numel, though you only get Numel after the second heal, which means less PP during the story. Other potential picks: Zubat, Tentacool, Aron, Oddish, Lotad, Ralts, Abra, Whismur, Geodude, Feebas, and Wailmer. These guys are decent but either their growth rate is slow, they are only obtainable after the 2nd heal, or they don't have a great movepool selection. Side Note: Castform goes straight to your P.C. in Emerald if you already have a full party, and you most certainly do not want to be stuck with Castform. Additionally, I love getting my 6 party members early on because you can reset if your natures or IVs are shoddy.

I'd point to MDB's "no glitches or exploits" rule as well as "only held items in battles". I would honestly say I'm more impressed with MDB's run for the clever grinding technique, though I'm also surprised by the move deleter use.

Recently (like last few weeks) went back and played emerald for the first time and wished I had that game when I was kid, I definitely would have changed my mind and said Emerald was the best game the story is pretty legit. And the post game is ridiculous content, if they added in previous Gen maps it would have been perfect
I did something similar but different gens. Obv did Gen 1 and 2 (it was very surprising for me to hear that a lot of streamers don't like gen 2 when crystal is my favorite game) Then I skipped all the generations until x and y when I bought my own DS. Then skipped generations after that until sword and shield.

Dragon type moves were still all special in this gen so outrage wasn't boosted by the X-Attacks.
