[Lyra]

I apologize for the small editing error at 54:56 which lead to double Lyra hullabaloo. Nobody deserves double Lyra hullabaloo.

Lyra, I respect your dedication and love for Pokemon, but it still boggles my mind how you tried to Earthquake a Gyarados

[Qbe_Root]

"I think I forgot something."
"If you forgot, then it wasn't important."
"Yeah, you're right."
**cut to Scizor waiting out in the rain**

"man i wonder why im losing against this combusken so much"

>uses a pokemon 10 levels under combusken

[smallmollusk]

Lyra is hilarious because on one hand Lyra seems to know pokemon on a data level better than anybody but on a gameplay level Lyra has no clue how to battle.

[ltjgambrose]

Gyarados is based on a myth about carp who were strong enough to not only swim upriver, but jump over the dragon gate. Passing that test granted them ability to fly, and those flying carp were dragons.
Which is to say: They didn't "turn into dragons" and that let them fly, Chinese "dragons" are the carp version of Superman. They're fish that fly first, and "dragons" second.

Terra/Marine Cave are how roaming legendaries should have always been.
Their location changes, but once you find them, you can catch them uninterrupted.

Congratulations, Lyra! *You finished the hard part!* Gen 3 is *notorious* for having a near-impossible Pokedex. Good job.

10:24 "Not even a mythical Pokemon can save us from the ordeal that is the second rival fight" that's because Jirachi is half Combusken's level

[mddowlin]

"avoids a very nasty safari zone hunt" yeah that's an understatement. I found a shiny chansey full odds in the safari zone and watched it run away before I was able to catch a plain chansey at all

[excalibur]

Fun fact: there was an oddity with the bridge on Feebas' river, so with ORAS, they made the underside of it a guaranteed spawn for Feebas.

[gtc]

Yk ur a dedicated poketuber when you forget Gyarados is a flying type and still tell your audience

[Disguised_Cat]

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU PLAYED THIS AND NOT REMEMBERED GYARADOS' TYPING?!

[justinr.]

So birch reaction to you completing the national dex is like "cool, anyway."

[eightteentwo]

I always forget Lyra isn't a native English speaker until he says something like "Relicanth" using a non-English vowel sound. If I'm not mistaken, it's a French-based language (or just French).

Also, fantastic video as always. It's a great combination of suffering and excitement.

43:55 The concept of the food you eat being permanently stuck inside of you because you can't relieve yourself is kind of horrifying.
I mean sure you don't *have* to eat in the pokemon universe but imagine having to second-guess if you *really* wanted that hamburger.
On the other hand since food is tied directly to your contest stats that means if they could than it would possible for them to literally shit their brains out, which is an equally horrifying outcome. Maybe it's for the better that they have to hold it all in their entire lives.

[tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard]

...generation 3 is definitely going to be your worst hurdle.
Starting from generation 4 onwards, they actively try to make sure you have some form of breathing room, and by gen 5, you don't even need to touch a spinoff

[UtubeWatchu]

13:54 Sceptile managing to use Leaf Blade after getting Attracted on by Torkoal has "begone thot" vibes

[MaxRavenclaw]

1:10:50 Game Designer: "You really must love Pokemon!"
Me: "Somewhat, I suppose."

[KamonXV]

I recently did the full Hoenn dex but there was one slight issue. I only own Sapphire and Emerald. In Hoenn 135 pokemon were introduced and if you only own Sapphire and Emerald you can only catch 134...

The missing pokemon from either version is Zangoose.

What i did to catch it was the Battle Tower glitch in sapphire and that was a unique nightmare
