I am still appalled that a pokemon game all about double battles and with limited pokemon to catch would give you a Plusle and never a Minum to pair with it. The one game where that ability might matter to the player and they squander it.

@birdpropagandist 1 year ago

The thing you need to know about Dakim is he is meant to be an average Arizona man. Once you understand this his sudden legendary use and constant spam of Earthquake makes significantly more sense.

Audibly gasped when the potential brothers got dropped from the tier list glad the video accurately reflected my feelings about that

@LITTLEdzx 1 year ago

Yeah, the Gamecube Pokemon games were full of wild stuff.

@tonberry2670 1 year ago

One other thing to notify is that Entei's catch rate is actually modified to be easier. It, as well as the rest of the beasts has a catch rate of 10

I still remember the infamous moment when Dakim denied Chuggaaconroy the Entei snag courtesy of Dakim's camerupt earthquaking.

watched this video stoned and took me 60 real world seconds to realize dakim is not actually an anagram for admin

I'd argue the most unfair part of this fight is putting a fire-type shadow pokemon on the Earthquake spam team. I remember having to reset this fight as a kid because he would knock out his own ace instead of letting me snag it.

@LuckyDayz 1 year ago

Honestly for me as a child the hardest part of the fight was catching Entei without Dakim knocking out his own legendary with Eathquake.

5:47 - In Pokemon Colosseum, the catch rates are different from the mainline games. Using the same catch rate calculator from dragonflycave that you're using in the video (with Entei's HP set to 1 with Sleep status), there's an option to select if the Pokemon is a shadow Pokemon, so it's actually a 23.416% chance of being captured under those conditions. It's still really tough (and it'd be challenging in itself to get Entei into those conditions), but it's technically not as bad as what it would be in a mainline game.

I'm so here for the Pokemon Speedrunner video essayist era of YouTube. 🥳 Absolutely fantastic work gamer!

@fiyawerks9421 1 year ago

i love how this video basically confirmed everything i love about colosseum in 20 minutes, it really is the dark souls of pokemon, and we NEED another modern game like it 😭

The infamous Entei jumpscare.

@zgamer200 1 year ago

I remember watching my older sister playthrough Colosseum as a kid(we didn't realize it was a single player game because we were dumb)she definitely struggled badly vs Dakim. Considering how much of a difficulty spike he is it makes sense. Earthquake + Protect combo in the first double battles focused Pokemon game, not to mention Entei's level and high BST, was quite the hurdle for a kid to overcome. It did not help that my sister only bothered training up Umbreon, Espeon and Plusle(she thought it was cute). She did use shadow Pokemon as well, but since a lot of them suck and all they knew was Shadow Rush they weren't much help.

Also, Trails in the Sky music used for BGM found in the wild. Booyah!!!

11:03 : This is a genuine scrub check

>Shows off fight with Cipher Peon Skrub

Heheh, clever.

@The4gotton1 1 year ago

This is an obligatory BOOYAH for The Potential Brothers

@McThunderpants42 1 year ago

I swear, Colosseum has the best music for fights. Cipher Admin, Miror B, and the final boss themes SLAP.

The first time I fought Dakim as a kid, I remember just barely getting him to send out his last pokemon with only two of mine left alive and when I saw it was Entei my little mind was blown. I started questioning everything. Only the player was supposed to get legendaries, did that mean Dakim was the main character and I the npc? It sure felt like the main character just kicked my ass. It was the first pokemon fight in my life I seriously struggled with my life at that point. And funnily enough this super hard fight motivated me to play the game more than any other pokemon game. I just kept trying to beat him over and over again. The prize of getting an Entei for winning was too tempting and I was determined to prove I was the main character not him.
