Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best.

Lickitung is shit.

It didn't stop me solo running it through Pokémon Crystal.

I accidentally clicked on the "inspiration" tab on YouTube again, so I'm subjecting you all to it as well.

And we have our first blooper of the year! I definitely can't use this battle audio in the final cut!

Ogerpon was a very in-depth backport.

Because it'd be very difficult to do back-sprites with the different masks, I decided to change Ogerpon's colours in order to make it more obvious which mask is being worn.

Types for Ivy Cudgel and Ogerpon change as expected when holding the right mask.

We are getting close and closer to a completed Gen 3 backport Pokédex.

The Fossils were pretty fun to do - their sprites were tough as they're large and detailed, but I think I did a pretty good job!

This line was a surprising amount of fun to backport.

Spoink and Grumpig have a couple of difficult moves to backport, and getting it right within a couple of tries has given me a huge boost of confidence when it comes to Gen 2 coding.

Happy Christmas, folks.

Don't discard your toys, unless you want a Banette at your door.

Insert "Deez Nuts" joke here.

Gulpin and Swalot are backported.

Just 9 lines left now until the entirity of Gen 3 is on the Challenge Run base.

It's time for another backport from the guy who one person said had the worst demake sprites they've ever seen!

This time, it's Volbeat and Illumise!

This was a fun one to do, especially getting the cross-breeding working.

All of the backport sprites are either adapted from their later-gen in-game sprites, or they're completely redrawn by hand.

I am very proud of the fact that I don't use any artificial assistance in creating the backports, so to have hours of work shat on feels pretty bad.
I am not, and have never claimed to be an artist, but I'm proud of the work I do with the Gen 2 backport sprites.

Leaving a comment like this serves two purposes. The first is to insult somebody who's worked very hard on creating something. The second is to show you're a cunt.

Happy Christmas.

I'm so mature.

Here's a clip from my latest Channel Member only video...

Tiny little channel update: I'm bringing back the old overlay (with a couple of modifications).

I tried out the new one for ~6 months to see if it made any positive impact, and it didn't.

Everything's slowly going to go back to Museo, with the softer colour palette.

Here's the schedule for the channel over the next week!

I didn't realise this was a feature. Apparently, you can upload your edited videos onto Twitch.

Here's the Gengar SuperMON run!

I've been using the same intro style on my videos ever since day one, but I think they're getting a little bit stale.

So, I'm experimenting with a new type of opening. Here's an upcoming video with both the old and new style, so you can see the difference it makes!

Friday marks the beginning of a new chapter for the channel.

We're not saying goodbye to "Classic" Solo Running entirely, but we are embarking on a new, harder challenge - the SuperMON challenge.

One Pokémon, 4 moves, and zero resets, and it's level capped.

Gengar's up first.

Our next stream together is going to be slightly different than normal.

We are going to be piloting our first Gym Leader challenge.

The first part of the stream will be yapping and figuring out rules, then we will text out the ruleset to see what changes we might need to make.

Hey folks.

Unfortunately, my immune system has let me down again, and I've managed to catch Covid. My partner and I have just both tested positive.

I will get back to streaming and creating pre-recorded videos once I'm recorded.

All October pre-recs are out as planned.

I am desperately trying to find a more consistent answer to Red for slower Pokémon. Especially physical attackers.

There are several runs where the Pokémon is on a fantastic pace up until Red, then they play the RNG game until finally getting lucky.
