I find it so funny to see him struggle with N’s team after skating around wild encounters with the smoke ball because N’s team is literally made out of random wild Pokémon from the areas around where you fight him.
No matter how far he ran the wild Pokémon still found him in the end.

Its funny how in a normal pokemon play-through it feels like 95% of all pokemon abilities do nothing because they dont stop a fireblast to the face. But in this style playthrough its like they are all pretty effective.

Imagine Reshiram coming to your aid to help you to fight Zekrom, just to see some weird fan, a magnet, a pinecone, a firefly, a deer and whatever Aaron is poison it to death

You know it's funny how Eric is trying to avoid wild Pokemon but N exclusively uses Pokemon that are found in nearby routes.

[keithkoge]

ok but the oran recycle stall is low key genius even if it has a limited number of uses

Made me smile to see the level 1 aron, seen that trolling on showdown so many times with that set, sending people with level 100 legendaries into a frenzy. Great video as always!

Playing this game as a kid was so cool. It may not look so impressive now but seeing stuff like Skyarrow Bridge and N's Castle for the first time was mind-blowing as a kid, I didn't know the DS was capable of things like that.

[Blubbii]

The funny thing about those lvl 1 pokemon is, that they usually get more effective, the higher the level difference is. So the early game of the challenge is usually the harder part with many pokemon just not powerful enough to reliably work.
Great video! Your editing is topnotch and commentary very entertaining.

I just wanted to take a second to say that your videos have seen a very noticeable upward slope of quality, and that you should be proud of your work. You are doing great, Eric, and I look forward to watching you suffer through more of these insane challenges in the future! :D

Its so funny to see N counter his team so effectively by pure coincidence. It felt like each time he learned and tried to counter it in a new way.

Love Chilan’s dialogue after 2 hours of stalling.
“Er… is it over now?”

[pokechatter]

35:21 I love how while narrator PointCrow is giving this bleak description of how much frustration N has added to this challenge as the screen zooms in, but we can see past PointCrow just enjoying that final battle theme in the corner. That is entertaining editing.

This must have been painful losing a shiny to save the run

[CIoudStriker]

Gotta make a confession: I have played Gen 5 more than any other Pokémon game short of *maybe* Mystery Dungeon 2 and Ranger 3, and I still fall for N's Zoroark Every. Single. Time.

[albevanhanoy]

I am amazed that your team got countered by abilities such as Unnerve and Sticky Hold which you normally *NEVER* see because they are just plain bad. That's what I love about Pokémon challenges like this: It makes new strategies come to light.

[khianidude]

8:42 his team isn't crafted at all, it's the opposite! He just uses pokemon you can catch on the nearby routes. Releases them and does it again for the next time.

[OROmusic]

Wow this is insane but so cool!!! Loved this video!

[memesfrommycomputer]

Imagine training your entire life to become an Gym Leader and some kid with a level 1 magnet and a deer with a pinecone in his hands just absolutely wipes the floor with you

[Alena_Sneaky]

I really love how you’re enjoying gen 5 overall.
Many people trash talk about the Pokémon design, but that doesn’t really matter imo. Gen 5 is my favorite and I’ll die on that hill

[viperv]

I am very pleased that N was so hard each time. He's a great character, and it's nice to see him kick ass.
