I love blind runs. I feel like it a big part of how we get ingratiated with certain aspects of these games as a community. The Pokémon solo community has a lot of the same lingo, inside jokes, etc but blind runs are where we learn about things like the Self destructing hiker, the chandler with the two ghastly, the overpowered Raticate. I feel a sense of belonging learning more about it. Plus unless it causes extra unnecessary work or you don’t like the outcome I’m always down for longer Pokémon solo run content these they’re perfect for me. I could watch them and listen to you and your endearing delightful commentary all day.
@GymLeaderMatt1987

Oh even with a blind run we’re still doing at least 3 runs. You just can’t judge a Pokémon accurate after one time. I like the idea of streaming some blind runs, linking it for peeps that want it and then having the full optimized run for a video but idk what the future holds.

I definitely agree that I like the repeat runs when it comes to solo challenges. That chance for refinement and the ability to see the huge improvements that come from proper strategy and routing really for me make it a very fulfilling viewer experience. It also gives a lot less incentive to do what is probably my least favorite form of strategy with single IGT runs which is where you get to a hard fight and you bash your head against the wall 20 times until the luck pans out your way and you move on. The ability to be more flexible without feeling like you're punishing the Pokemon and explore alternative strategies dealing with that impulse really makes videos like this very enjoyable. Also: real one.

I’d say bashing isn’t something I even think about anymore. Sometimes it rarely happens but in theory I go for what I feel like at minimum it’ll be a 60-70% win rate. There’s always a fine line of risk and consistency but I’ll always show the numbers and what not. In game time without showing the resets just doesn’t really give you the whole picture.

I really like seeing the blind runs! It adds a lot of context for the optimized run, and it's where you find out about goofy stuff like "here's this one totally ordinary trainer that you haven't thought about since you were 10, but we have to spend a lot of time planning around her for this Pokemon". Even if you don't want to dedicate a ton of time to recording/editing those into the videos (which, fair), I still think it'd be cool if you talked more about the blind run results while you showed the optimized run.
@GymLeaderMatt1987

I always try to emphasize the problems, struggles, and what not. Even on recent videos I'll show a fight that looks easy in the optimize run but go over why it isn't and the planning that went into it along with the things that you have to look out for! I try to never just do 'play by play' without adding something else in if I can help it.

I've got serious respect for Pidgeot and its lesser forms. They are usually the first Pokemon I catch in Kanto, and they tend to stick by me for a good chunk of the game, maybe even the whole way through. While I do prefer Farfetch'd, I still feel like Pidgeot is a #realone. Also, two side notes. One, I think it's an unspoken fact that somehow, someway, anyone who plays on a stream performs worse than normal. I've been there. An old streamer buddy of mine's been there. It just feels like it's universal. Two, what were some of those songs with certain gym leaders like Brock and Surge? Are they from Battle Tower in Crystal (never got there so never heard it), unused tracks, from a ROM hack or something else entirely? :o

I still hold that wing attack is better than fly especially in gen 1 where there are no hold items . In gen 2 and on with leftovers it’s good. 2 wing attacks are 100 percent accurate and have 2 chances to crit. Fly is only good in gen 1 for some niche invulnerability like explosion or Mabe a poor man’s protect. It does have utility that might save you seconds instead of having to Catching a hm fly slave but still that’s not that much of a savings. In fact it’s a two turn move that costs time in the long run

Yea technically it’s the same but it’s whether you value the defensive nature of being invulnerable versus two chances at a crit. It’s really close though but wing attack has higher accuracy.

You aren’t thinking about it right. It’s like using two wing attacks but one turn you can’t be damaged whereas you’d be hit twice with wing attack. That’s the defensive capabilities I mean. Like if something takes 2 wing attacks or 1 fly, you avoid the damage you would have taken if you went wing attack. Some Pokémon value not being hit more.

It all depends on the run. But you can save a lot of time skipping the flyer and save a good bit of menuing with the choice alone!

Pulling for Farfetchd, hes my favorite. I never understood the Dodrio and Fearow are best normal flyers sentiment. Farfetchd having access to swords dance and it getting bonus xp from being a trade put it in top tier flyers. Its only real competition in gen 1 for flyers is Charizard in Yellow and legendary birds but they dont count.

I think Swords Dance is fair. Charizard in R/B is better than in Yellow for sure but I'll cover that in video soon but in the blanket rules of a solo run, Farfetchd being an in game trade just doesn't even factor in at all. It's the top of the normal/flying Pokemon so far, but Dodrio might have something to say.

Farfetched is the best normal flying type pokemon in a solo challenge. Its the most balanced even though it has the lower base stat compared to pidgeot, fearow and dodrio. Pigeot and Fearow are basically the same except fearow will have slightly higher attack and has drill peck. Dodrio is better for a niche flyer on a balanced team but its a glass cannon that doesn't really vibe below level 30 but then it becomes kinda op at that point. I always used farfetched as a kid because of cut and fly and with swords dance and slash or agility depending on how you use it makes it a more versatile pivot than dodrio in my opinion. Swords dance and agility make farfetched a broken mon, especially getting swords dance at lv 25. Move pools are everything in a solo challenge and pokemon you find later in the game do not fair well at lower levels. Gen 1 is fun. If your having fun then so will your viewers and i did. Enjoying my sodie pop imagining what the move tombstoner actually does.

@@redsnorlax1945 Nah, there's nothing equal to upping your attack by 300%. Badge boost glitch is alright but it's only 12.5% a pop and helps more with speed rather than already being fast and just using agility to get 3 measly badge boosts. It'll be close, but agility is by far the weakest badge boosting move in the game.
