I think Chugga is like the only guy who's done vanilla playthroughs of Pokemon games that aren't painful to listen to or watch since he streamlines it. He puts a surprising amount of effort into those vids.
His voice can be grating at times, especially when he shouts, and he tends to get distracted over the littlest things while explaining something important, but I can't really hate Chugga and his LPs when he has so much passion and enthusiasm for them.
 
The man is certainly right about this. Gen V was very well done, and that's not just Stockholm Syndrome from saving me from D/P and revitalized my interest in the franchise. The only real complaints I have about it is the Gym Leaders and Elite Four weren't that memorable and the map was boring. Also, people were fine with Grimer and Magnemite but lost their shit over ice cream and trash. Never mind ice cream was a huge cultural thing in the US since it came over. Plus the cone itself was likely created in New York, which Unova was based on.
Have to disagree on the gym leaders and to a lesser extent the E4. Gen V was the first time gym leaders actual got shit done and felt relevant to the plot, especially at the end. Marlon is the only one that is forgettable and even then his reaction to Team Plasma was amusing. The E4 in general are pretty forgettable regardless of generation.

Well, they showed up at one point to help at the castle and a couple had a few extra lines and did stuff. B/W 2 did it better and cleared up what few issues I had for the most part.

Also Alder was a better Champion than Iris.
 
Gen 5 is a great gen, loved the Fakemon designs and season system and most of the Gym Leaders. I actually do like the trash and the ice cream, but Braviary and Excadrill are personal favorite designs among all Pokemon. Not to mentions Hidden Abilities, which while kind of annoying to get gave a ton of Pokemon good new options, and Eviolite which is such a great item. As great of a Champion as Alder is, he's also the only one I've never fought because I never did the rematch in Black. One of these days I will actually get around to finishing Black and Black 2 or Blaze Black 1+2 at least.
 
He’s the anti-DSP.


>Puts effort into projects
>Would give his viewers gifts in giveaways
>Friends love home and have nothing but good things to say
>Is dating (?) An actually asian girl.
>Doesn't have a subforum on the farms despite being a lil autistic.
>Does videos about his 13 year legacy but doesn't brag about it everyday

Damn you might be right.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but these hacks are the shit. If you've ever wanted difficulty in Pokemon along the tons of content offered in Gen 5 and more, try Blaze/Volt. 2 is weaker than 1 in my opinion because of the former having less focus on non-singles but they're still a great time and highly replayable because of the full national dex gimmick. Huge recommend.

Chugga is a good boi, even if I don't watch his series anymore.

Are he and masae dating? Always seemed a bit one-sided

The question I have is, is it fun difficulty or is it fake difficulty?

When it's about singles, I'd say it walks the very fine line between "overleveled" and "bullshit" that Pokemon's RPG system has. Then again, I played pokemon a lot so it probably leans to bullshit to inexperienced people. It's definitely mitigated a lot by dex variety and rebalancing, though, so overlevelling is far from the only way to progress if you're stuck.

However, when it comes to doubles/triples/rotation, things get a lot more interesting. Because of the nature of these formats, there may be times when both sides can't simply eliminate all threats on screen without specific setups, so level doesn't play as big a role as does proper prediction and team synergy. You can't just have your usual sweeper blitz everything with single target moves, for example. I'm not that experienced, so I wouldn't know if these battles had truly bullshit difficulty, but I'd argue that they get rid of the exp hurdle that can make a Pokemon game unfun at times.

Despite his numerous innuendos, Chuggaa always came off to me that he's a bit reserved when it comes to sex. He appears to have a preference for redheads and expresses "monkey love" often, but if he's not interested in pursuing a relationship, then so be it. He and Masae have such great chemistry, though, that it wouldn't be surprising.

I consider it one of the hardest rom hack on the nds and playing it on set was the most fun I've ever had with a pokemon game. However I wouldn't recommended it to anyone who doesn't at least dabbled in competitive battling have a general knowledge of pokemon battling and know what to expect to a certain extend. Leonora and Burg are usually run killers and could make you feel like running into a wall until you gave up and over grind but there's so much more you could do to play around them. Some moments can seem like bullshit when your mons got crit'd over and over again but then you realize they are holding a scope lense and strategize around that. You rarely can pick a super effective move and ohko the gym leader mons one by one, but brute forcing is still an option.

It is difficult when you don't know what to expect and still difficult when you do, but the hack doesn't force you to play in any particular way in order to beat it. The guy who made the hack did make some changes regarding typing and moveset to make some underpower one up to par with others, whether you like it or not is up to you. Furthermore, you can tell he actually put thoughts into wild pokemon distribution instead of running it through a randomizer and calling it a day.

I've never dabbled in comp related so I don't think it be for me.

They're trying to virtue signal again, the message is almost the exact same as the BLM one. Hell, even the format and the amount of money donated ($200,000) is the same. :story:

At least this one holds any kind of relevance to the Pokemon Company seeing as how they're a Japanese company. They probably didn't want to cave on the burn loot murder one but the pressure finally got to them. This one I can at least give them a pass on.

Drayano hack are great in general. Currently playing Eternal X, which while not by him is pretty heavily inspired by his design choices. If anyone is worried about the DP remakes quality, you can just go enjoy Renegade Platinum now since it essentially updates everything to Gen 7/8 anyway, including Fairy typing. Now if he can get the big updates to SacredGold and StormSilver out some day I'd be very happy.
