    Arin's going to come back with the necessary potions/ethers/revives he needs and Buntd, is going to wreck the Elite Four. Today's going to be the Finale I bet! Beedrill best pokeyman confirmed. Arin's genuine shock when he one-shotted(or almost one-shotted?) one of those Hitmonchans was fantastic.

    WOAHHH

    He didn't save after he bought stuff at the beginning. He'll have to face the first two people again, but he can just reload and buy what he needs.

    They never saved after they started, all they have to do is restart the system off camera and either go grind some money or buy intelligently.

    Hopefully he doesn't forget to use the candy again too.

    On Buntd: Levels are great! Levels aint everything, though. And as far as defense goes, Beedrill takes physical hits worse than a MAGIKARP (which incidentally is probably why people think Beedrill has a 4x weakness to rock as he gets owned. It's only 2x, he's just as sturdy as an actual bee). He can still win. But it won't be free.

    What they seem to be doing actually is pretty fair. One player has a go first, then the second and then the first has the chance to beat the time. They keep going until someone cannot beat the new time set by the previous player.

    That seems pretty fair to me.

    Oh no, I'm not saying its unfair per say. But there's diminishing returns from what can be accomplished post run 3. First player goes blind, allowing second player to see what's what. Second player knows where to fix the mistakes of P1 on their run. P1 now has run it once and watched it once and iterates further. There's really no good odds the second player can improve on the 4th attempt as all the kinks have basically been ironed out by then. So if you want to win, your best chance is to go first.

    Because they are well aware of what people think of bug pokemon and there is a distinct reason Beedrill is like level 90 compared to everyone else in the roster. This is deliberate trolling and Arin will be drinking the tears of everyone who is complaining, right off his numerous chins.

    nah, he has some vary basic knowledge of pokémon. He really thought buntd, would steamroll the Elite 4. His choice of buntd, was initially a bit of trolling, but rest assured this is not some super elaborate master-prank.

    I mean, yeah, he knows that Beedrill is considered weak and is using it despite of that - which is totally fine. But stuff like not knowing type matchups, not knowing which type(s) various Pokemon have, bad use of healing items, bad timing at switching Pokemon..he's just not very good at the game.

    To be fair, being "good" at Pokemon means a lot of different things. Like you can beat the story without ever touching breeding or online battles, etc. A big part of being good at Pokemon is just grinding, and when you get to that point it doesn't make for good LP material.

    People have beaten the Elite Four with a myriad of joke Pokemon, Beedrill is hardly the worst one to take in. If he had stocked up on items and maybe taught it one or two different moves it would be a lot easier but he wasn't doing too bad all things considered.

    No offense to whoever they got to grind for them but I could have done a better job (and I am sure a lot of people could too). If the goal was to set up Arin for success, they got about a B-. I expected him to come back with a team of lvl 100 Beedrills, or his whole team leveled, but instead he had one decent Pokemon and a bunch of underleveled ones, and no money.

    It's made for a fun revisit but it's classic Game Grumps: they play a fan-favorite game, play like two comedians instead of two MLG 420 No-Scope players, and lose, thus infuriating the fans who know the game so well they might as well be jacked into the Pokemon Matrix.

    Whatcha gonna do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Nah, whole Beedrill thing is deliberate. Forgetting that psychic is weak to bug probably wasn't intentional, but he has acknowledged that info in a previous pokemon episode. I'm guessing it slipped his mind in the heat of the moment while acting like a goofball. No biggie, though, today will surely be the finale...maybe...

    Arin probably shouldn't do what he said at the end and play another Gen 1 game. It's a fan favorite but there's no point really. Gen 2 would be fun, the best part of the Pokemon play through was Danny's reactions to each monster. That and the great names they come up with for them.

    The only problem is I believe there's no way to play Heart Gold/Soul Silver on a TV so they might have to do OG G/S/C.

    Yeah, I made that mistake a lot as a kid, alwats going for the most "powerful" move. But when I got older and revisited Pokemon, I came to the conclusion that the strongest hitting move isn't always the best, especially when you factor in type weaknesses, PP limitations and, most importantly, accuracy.

    I've played enough Xcom and Fallout 1 & 2 to know that you can never trust a % less than 100. So, I'll always pick Thunderbolt / Flamethrower / Ice Beam over Thunder / Fireblast / Blizzard.

    However, it was pretty amusing watching Arin get salty over missing thise Blizzards and Hydro Pumps.

    Best/worst part of the whole pokemon thing is that Arin could have easily just beaten the game without any grinding before if he just played even a little bit smarter. The 3 legendary birds were enough to carry him through most of the elite 4, and if he needed any more help, he could have picked up mewtwo.
