Let's Play Pokémon Soul Silver - Part 123

[Freezure]

I was expecting ampharos :/

[meowth900]

You could've said Aerodactyl. Because that one kicks Archeops ass IMO and I'm not being a gen 1 fangirl I'm serious that pokemon is a killer :)

[applestomper]

Good battle against surge i was almost sure cross chop would kill ttar!

[ShadowDeathLighnting]

@Limegreenedragon Crystal and Yellow are the deluxe versions though. And Crystal was remade. And Gray was registered a an IP. And it has a mascot already. And why would they not make it? Every hardcore fan who bought B/W will buy the deluxe version as well, and it's way easier to do than make Gen 6 games.

[Limegreenedragon]

@ShadowDeathLighnting

Concerning Gray: for the mascot to change forms the mascot must eat 2 certain dragons

[FlameAstro]

You know, I've always known aobut that little Unown easter egg, but I've never done it in my game since I always forget about the PokeGear when I go there. There is a creepy as hell tune on the radio that plays in the Lake of Rage during the whole Red Gyarados event. The remixed version in HG/SS is odd, but the one in G/S/C is just ear raping.

[verymelonman12]

So why aren't you doing your rants during your Youtube Videos anymore?

[Slowflake]

Because I can't. Every fight from this point on pretty much has to be commentated.

[kontonakuma]

I always found the unown a little interesting, and the radio waves that are supossively the unown talking to eachother just amazed the hell out of me when I first discovered it.

[MasterHammersman]

I'm cool with the fact that Chuggaa has those bars and that additional info on specific pokemon, but he cuts so much away that I'm ALMOST tempted to stop watching.

The fact he uses different Pokemon so far (except Torchick/Combusken) will keep me interested. Up to the point where he is, your LP was WAY better

[Slowflake]

That, and he's totally inept at the game. When you're facing a Pokémon with a BST of 470 immediately after the first gym, especially a physically defensive one when you have no special attacks whatsoever, IMMEDIATELY SPAM YOUR STRONGEST MOVE. Don't mess around for hours using absolutely everything else.

[MasterHammersman]

@Slowflake I am however curious on what his hip words will be. If it would be adult anime, I doubt he's copying you, but I'd say he has a similar sense on humor to you in that sense. I don't expect his LP to last all too long, at least not nearly as many episodes as yours. I came to you because I wanted a thorough Crystal LP and I doubt any one could;ve possibly given me a more thorough LP than you did

[RainbowDashPhD]

What are you gonna do with Red and his level 70, 80 pokemon, I ran in like an idiot right after Kanto and I got destroyed

[Colquhounboy1993]

Nice Easter Egg? Creepy as fuck more like.

[Meleeace1478]

I hope Red will be an actual challenge, instead of an easy victory like pretty much every other battle.

[boxmonpsp101]

this part helped me count to 3

[KamiTsurugi]

Hearing you say "like a bawss" was so awkward. XD Also, supposedly, that transmission is more than just an easter egg, it actually has some practical use in finding Unowns you don't already have, allegedly. It has done jack squat for me, though, so that may have been bad info on the site I got it from (either Serebii or Bulbagarden).

[Eriorguez]

BTW, that silence-inducing Magnezone is up with Lance's Charizard as the highlights of the LP.

[Eriorguez]

I'd suggest giving Gengar Energy Ball, since you aren't Dream Eating much anyway, but I don't think there are Quagsires left in the game for it to matter...

[nickyv917]

Natural Gift's power and type are determined by which berry your holding. The best it can do is have 80 power with any type except Normal and Steel.

[Skyziken]

@Slowflake You are right my bad.

[Skyziken]

@nickyv917 Wait wasn't Misty in lvoe with Ash. I am confused.

[Slowflake]

Oh please, can we not get into one of those brain-cell-genociding shipping debates?

[nickyv917]

@Skyziken Yea, but Brock's in love with every girl.

[nickyv917]

Brock has three Water/Rocks to try to impress Misty.

[69DatHoe69]

thumbnail was great

[JJelms66]

Slowflake imitating rick ross..highlight of my day 12:29

[TheAmazingFocus]

Brock should have had a Tyranitar. Seriously. That would actually justify a mono-Rock team.

Also, that Lt. Surge battle was freakin' epic!

BTW, thanks for showing off the Unown radar communication thing! :)

[ShadowDeathLighnting]

@Slowflake Thats lame. They should've snuck in a creepy Metroid tune. That would have been awesome.

[ShadowDeathLighnting]

Oh yeah, now I remember what I had to ask. What is the transmission a reference to?

[Slowflake]

Absolutely nothing. It's just a random easter egg.

[TheAmazingFocus]

@ShadowDeathLighnting It is the way Unown communicate with each other, with radio waves. There is also a guy in the Goldenrod Radio Tower who hints about the weird radio signal at the Ruins of Alph.

[HunterRyosuke]

"FEAAAARRR THE ELECTRIC SQUIRELL !! IT SAVED ME DURING THE WAR !!" XD

I'm not going to say anything about Quagsire now, Lanturn is kinda my new favorite... it got bad stats, but I like its design and it got an awesome movepool at least... and mine outsped an Electrode in White, so it deserves my praises. :p

(Ok, it was fully EV-trained in Speed and had a little Level advantage, but still, quite an achievement !)

[theCLASSGamer115]

U should do a black and white lp

[Slowflake]

I have a way better idea... I should wait for Gray instead. Yeah, I think that's what I'll go with.

[Limegreenedragon]

@Slowflake

If it does come out because the more we bicker the less likely nintento and gamefreak will make it

[Slowflake]

If you think it has any chance of NOT coming out, you're certifiably nuts. They wouldn't have made a third counterpart to Reshiram and Zekrom unless they were certain they were going to make a game starring it. And I don't know where that idea that anyone is "bickering" is coming from, it's coming soon and we all know it.

[Limegreenedragon]

@Slowflake

Don't make me laugh, but the fact is: fans are demand that the third version to be made and increases the likely hood that gray will never be made much like when there wasn't any remakes for yellow or crystal

[crimsonsynchro]

If only Raikou had a modest nature...

[HeyShayMay]

I didn't know about that radio transmission, actually! Isn't that a bit of the intro to Pokémon Crystal it's playing?

[ShadowDeathLighnting]

Is there a reward for beating all of the rematches? There's gotta be something you get, other than experience and funsies.

[Slowflake]

Yes, there's the prize money. :P

[TrueLooneyman]

13:25 Always makes me laugh

[AnemosThrowback]

Yeah... The Kanto gym leaders don't have nearly as much in the way of good choices or strategies as the Johto gym leaders do. It's mostly weather support and mixed sweepers from here...

[firemaster432]

natural gift uses the power of the berry the pokemon is useing in battle... in other words the attack SUCKS!!!!!!

[PikaHikariKT7]

@firemaster432 In addition, Manectric was holding a (otherwise useless) Pinap Berry, resulting in a Grass attack with 70 base power.

[SenelCoolidge1989]

Hey there Slowflake what do you have planned for Red's Snorlax you had a bit of trouble with it in the Crystal LP are you gonna get a fighting type or something? if you've already said I must've missed it I just was wondering I've been enjoying the LP so far great job as always

[meltdown200]

He didn't evolve his Onix because Steelix is Steel/Ground 

[Slowflake]

Yeah, and Candice, Volkner and Flint all used Pokémon that weren't of their type at some point too.

[SoulSilverRebound]

@Slowflake Yeah and D/P/Pl were the three worst games in the Pokemon series.

[Slowflake]

Wow, your spelling could use some work. Here, let me fix that for you.

"Yeah and RBY were the three worst games in the Pokemon series."

[yogini1988]

@Slowflake

Great job scolding a Pseudo-Pokemon Fan!

[SoulSilverRebound]

@Slowflake If the game is so bad then I wonder how the series got so popular from that game?

[dekupride]

@SoulSilverRebound because "bad" and "worst out of a collection" are not the same thing

[Slowflake]

Yeah, what he said. I guess in your opinion the original Mario, Zelda and Metroid are still glorious masterpieces that hold up well today then? Oh wait, no they don't, that's because those series don't have drooling retards who refuse to acknowledge they improved significantly over time.

[SoulSilverRebound]

@Slowflake Since when did I say the earlier games were better than the new games. I just said that in my opinion D/P/Pl are my least favourite games in the series.

[Slowflake]

Well, for one, no one was talking about which games were better, and no one asked you anything. You just barged in and spewed your crap like any troll would.

[devilmaycryagency]

@SoulSilverRebound

because they were the first ones and there was nothing better at the time, that's all.

The newer ones are better, they're more balanced and more fun in my opinion

[NeoDarkraiTV]

According to Bulbapedia, that radio signal has Ho-oh's cry and the Azure Flute melody distorted. I also recall reading that that broadcast helps you in finding an Unown form you haven't caught yet.

[Gibbonator42685]

@LordCaoCao155 Fools, or Rhyperior. But even that thing is fairly limited in OU. It was good in Ru, but now it's not even in that tier so :L

[zfrtable]

huh. Sacred fire can miss?

Shows how long time it's been since I played pokémon with a Ho-oh on my team

[Slowflake]

Almost anything can miss when the opponent has a Double Team up. And even if that Magnezone didn't use DT, Sacred Fire still only has 95 accuracy.

[zfrtable]

@Slowflake Oh yeah.. the the double team. ok :) Thanks for the response

[CurrentLeaf]

Is there any purpose to the Mystery Transmission like being connected to Giovanni or something, or is it just a "mystery". I've never even heard of it before.

[Slowflake]

AFAIK it's caused by the Unowns in the place.

[httm241]

Hey slowflake how com you did not fight clair ?

[AlickJC]

@httm241 *facepalm*

[Johntend0]

Just hoping Pachirisu would have got criticals some paralysis happens and it takes out tyranitar

[AaronWebber9]

I find it funny that they give a character like surge a freaking pachirisu.lol

[Skyziken]

Man that Brock team sucked. You mention Archeops, well on that regard why didn't he had an Aerodactyl or something like that.

[GrodRumpa]

haha you are funny :D

[LordCaoCao155]

After Generation 2, I rarely used Rock/Ground type Pokemon. Yeah, unless I was just playing for fun, then ok. But other than that, only fools would dare to use this typing in Competitive Gameplay.
