Pokémon Sunkern Version (Let's Play) (Complete)

[Elementoid]

If you did a Ditto run, would you use a Ditto that had the Imposter ability ? Aside from the inherent advantage of transforming immediately, Transform only has 10PP (16 at most), which would get really frustrating if you had to fight a bunch of battles in succession.

[Superfrequency]

Ok enough of this tomfoolery.



I evolved Woop Zoop via switch-out so's that he can learn Strength.



Yes, that.



Yes, this guy again. We'll be using him for Fly and Cut like last time.





Just in time for the one Gym where it actually matters! And lucky for me, I can get my first PP Up shortly thereafter.

[Norivia]

A winner is you!

At first I thought you meant giga drain was just in time for your fight against Chump Chuck. Good luck on Jasmine!

So hey looks like you failed to cut him down to size. What'samatter? Feeling a bit drained?

HEH

[Superfrequency]

I did mean that. Poliwrath is weak to it.



I know this is an optional HM, but I hate walking around everywhere. First order of business:



Finally!



Great! By how much?



tch

aunnngggghhhh

They buffed both the PP and attack power of this move in later generations because they realized what an ass they had been to Grass types.

[unbearableLupin]

That critical hit followed up by a missed Iron Tail. You must have been so happy.

[Superfrequency]

I would have been happier if I didn't waste 2000 Pokédollars on X Defends, but there you are :U

Also, I just tested Hidden Power and it's Ground with a power of like 30. Useless.

[weirdguy]

ground is super effective on steel, fire, electricity, and poison (read: gengars), but i see your point

[Not The Author]

What the hell is the point of a 5% chance to miss, anyway


Re: the music; having gone through a few tuned-up vids I think I can say that I quite prefer the addition of new music. Less so because there aren't anymore audio glitches, more so because you're only doing major battles - the original music gets a bit repetitive. Plus your choices (and their mixing) are so fitting! Had me a chuckle at Chuck's.

[Kíeros]

Well, there you go. All that's left are dragon and Ice...

Wait, Ice...

[Superfrequency]

As soon as we get to Blackthorn, I can upgrade to a fully powered Return.




This is one of the few problems I have with this game. I'm sorry, no, this is shitty and lazy design. At least try to suspend my disbelief. So you're telling me at numerous points in the game there are people standing in front of doorways or not even blocking narrow corridors and my character doesn't just say "hey buddy, I'm in a hurry here"? At least give me a fakey reason like I have to find someone's lost MacGuffin or SOMETHING



Ugh and this guy



I was wondering if I should do a video of this fight but it is such a non-event. It was over in three turns.



THAT'S ALL YOU KNOW HOW TO DO, ISN'T IT

Dragonite I suspect this man of possibly aiding and abetting a magical radio broadcast that makes Pokémon evolve, fucking point blank mouth laser him!



IMPOSTOR



They try to play these Rocket guys up as big threats and give them their own music, but ...



They're just so easy



Easy and boring



Halfway there!



Hooray arbitrary roadblocks

I like how he "hung back" to let me take care of the entire Rocket base myself, but INSISTS on fainting half of the Electrodes.

Pokémon

whatever

I suppose there are a lot of ice-themed games I could have chosen for the music, but. The above just felt right.

[Kíeros]

Good job.

Okay, so in eight days, you've defeated seven gym leaders. I predict that by the end of March, you'll probably be very close to having Red beg on his knees at the hands of a Sunkern.

[weirdguy]

Well, there you go. All that's left are dragon and Ice...

Wait, Ice...

great thing about ice types, they're usually weak to grass because of stupid second types

[Stinkosar]

Woah, you should post this on other forums once you're finished. You deserve to be known all across the internet for this.

[Superfrequency]

Just finished off two more videos, and I'll have Claire done by this evening as well. I'll pass on taking on the Elite Four today because I sort of want to play some other games that demand my attention. And I guess I need to do something suitably awesome for vs Lance.

I'm not really interested in reposting this. All of the videos are unlisted. This is just for fun.

[weirdguy]

i enjoy showing your elite four lance vid whenever i need to bring up something stupid awesome

i think your main issue right now will be getting past that fucking kingdra, and then mostly pushing your way past the rest of the stupid trainers up to bigass victory elite mountain

[Superfrequency]

Woo



Boo





Woo again



Never got this. It could come in handy!



The Rocket subplot is my least favorite part of the game. So much repetition, so much backtracking, so little impact on the main story. They just shoehorned it in at the last minute. DOOOOO LOOK AT ME I'M THE TOUGHEST ROCKET GUY I JUST HAVE FIVE KOFFINGS AND A WEEZING AREN'T I FUN AND CHALLENGING.

Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire is dangerous, but overall there is really nothing to say. Difficult to catch, easy to kill.

:I

[Syxx]

Man you are on fire, and your Sunkren is kicking butt.
the Ho-oh fight was the one that worried me the most

[Superfrequency]

I'm more worried about Lugia.

After seeing how much easier the game got after Morty, I'm willing to bet the fight with Red won't be as apocalyptically nightmarish as I thought.

[Dentrala]

Man I forgot how much of a dick she was.

[Reako]

I'm about as confused as you are on how Thunder Wave, a 100% accuracy move that cannot fail unless it's targeting a ground type, somehow didn't affect you not once but twice.

[Kuraimano]

The fight with Clair sure was full of brain damage. The game derped, her pokèmon herped, and you missed an already unsuccesful taunt kill.

Yeah that was pretty funny!

[-Benedict]

You have to wonder what happens when Kingdra uses Surf in a building full of lava. Is... is it just water dyed red?

[Not The Author]

So, blood?

[Superfrequency]

Kool-Aid.

[weirdguy]

but seriously, just imagine the kind of overhead that is incurred by keeping a giant pit of lava kool-aid maintained just to intimidate passing trainers

we're talking higher than pryce's air conditioning costs or chuck's monthly supply of prop breakaway boulders
