Can I Beat Pokemon Red with ONLY Mankey? 🔴 Pokemon Challenges ► NO ITEMS IN BATTLE

In this video I take you along my ridiculous Pokemon Red Challenge Journey through the world of Kanto in Generation 1 as I attempt to beat the entire game with only Mankey and without using Items in Battle! Am I able to do it? Only one way to find out!

~Stay in Touch!~

Hey! Sorry it's a few hours late! I literally just forgot to set up the premiere time, I was so busy working on stuff

[paulthompson]

Oh God I haven't watched that Mystery Dungeon Let's Play in ages, I think this is my sign to rewatch. Also, Karate Chop being normal in a gen where it is only known by Fighting type Pokémon is insane. Gen 1 man...

[GusterTails]

On our way through, I took the Helix Fossil. I knew if I didn’t say what I took, you’d all ask. Actually, now that I think about it, everyone asks anyway. Comments are good for the YouTube algorithm.

Was surprised to see Mankey beat the game under level 70. Nice run btw

[Dalebert]

Oh yeah, I've been waiting for this one! This was my first and only unintentional challenge run that I did as a kid. I'd just watched the episode where Ash's Primeape competed in a fighting tournament, and became obsessed with the idea of using one myself so that's what I did. Started a new game on my copy of Yellow, caught a Mankey to the left of Viridian City and solo'd the entire game with it. I did let it evolve into Primeape but being a 10 year old I'm still really proud of that accomplishment!

Anyways MDB I can't wait to see how your run turns out! Gonna call it right now that you've got this!

My suggestion : Pokemon White2 or Black2 with only one Maractus 🌵

I'm not sure who came up with the idea that the Fighting type is "Hero type"—that's never been the case. The Japanese name is and has always been _kakutou_ which just means "fight, wrestle". It does have a connotation of honour since the Dark type covers dirty tactics (biting, feigning injury, ganging up on someone, etc.) but it's not supposed to be inherently heroic.

[dripsoup]

Oh my god, that Mankey back sprite is crazy. 😂

[timeshadow]

I have a suggestion: Pokemon Platinum with only one Murkrow. Or if you want to use a different dark type, Pokemon Emerald with only one Sneasel. Murkrow is a glass cannon and Sneasel in gen 2 and 3, dark and ice are all special moves, and its special attack is awful.

19:27 - rockslide can't flinch in generation 1

11:00 - sir that is 4 damage. Math is hard😂

Can I just say I'm glad your not doing premiers. Those forced me to wait until the premier was over to watch the video. There was a 0% chance I would be there right as it started so I'd have to either join in late or wait until it was done to watch it. And then there was a decent chance I would miss it and not watch until the next day. This time I was just busy all day yesterday. Comments are good for the youtube algorithm (and premiers are bad for it apparently)

[Sincald]

25:50 As a viewer I don't like premieres because the notification I get on my phone doesn't have the "Add to Watch Later" button which is my main way of watching YT.
Normal uploads, I can just press Watch Later on the notifications as they come up to add to my queue for the day, but premieres I'll have to remember to manually go to the channel and add them to my list from there.

It's a minor inconvenience but I spend most of my day every day up on my feet doing housework/cleaning/caretaking with my WL playing from my phone

[goldennugget]

the mankey line has recently grown on me alot, and this just adds to it, thank you mdb

[blackdeadthedarkside]

thankfully i check your channel quite often for the let's plays, so often that Youtube doesnt have to tell me you uploaded, do have the bell clicked though and can confirm, this challenge was NOT notified to me, even with the bell clicked, it sucks

[ddittami]

Hey MDB, just wanted to say you’re awesome man. Just started this vid but always love the end of your vids, thanks for keeping us in the know. We care about you sir, Happy New Year

[nacboi]

MDBAMA — Do you have notes for your playthroughs in different gens/games or even guides that you’ve created along the way to streamline challenges?

[uomospazzaturatube]

Monkey-pig-glass-cannon run. What’s more to ask?

Loved the reference in the name!

I don't miss youtube videos at all without even using the subscriptions page. I just look at the sidebar where my subscriptions are and see if the little blue dot is there indicating the channel has something new. And I don't miss yours cause I follow you on Twitter, which is why I'm here watching this a day early.

I can't shake the image of "Arbok glaring at a pile of dirt"
