The pokemon games they have always had one difficulty ridiculous. Even in its early days, most players were able to get through the games almost without knowing how to read, which gives us an indication of how little challenge they offer. He metagame Pokémon is quite complex, but its games have always been very simple, with the exception of the GameCube. For years, the Pokémon community has invented all kinds of challenges, the "locke" to add more fun to the main Pokémon titles. However the youtuber SmallAnt designs its own games with absurd rules that go far beyond those challenges that we all know.
Pokémon can be a tricky game and this streamer proves it
We know, there are dozens of JRPGs with turn-based combat that requires spending hours to build effective strategies. However, the purest Pokémon player does not usually look for other alternatives, but instead stays with the Game Freak titles, either waiting for a future game that presents a challenge or complicating the rules at will.
If you like Pokémon and would like to do a complicated challenge, do not miss some of the SmallAnt games that we show you below.
Pokémon, but subtracting experience points
One of the greatest geniuses of the entire channel. At first glance, you have a game of Pokemon Emerald ordinary. But when you defeat an opponent, experience gained is subtracted and you level down. In this way, the difficulty of the game rises exponentially, since the Pokémon that are used in each serious combat end up being disposable.
In addition, this challenge involves using all kinds of status attacks on the enemy, using items to raise your Pokémon's stats and, in short, everything that the video game should force us to do, but doesn't do to keep it simple.
Pokémon: Pacifist Route
A classic of many JRPGs is to finish the game without using violence, what is commonly known as the «pacifist route». Can one pass a game of Pokémon with this strategy? Well yes, but it takes hours and hours to complete this challenge, where basically you are only allowed to use status attacks or wait for the rival finish your attacks and weaken yourself using 'combat'. In addition, to level up the Pokémon, the youtuber had to manage to farm in kindergarten. In this challenge he had the help of EazySpeezy, another streamer who also likes this type of challenge.
Pokémon, but with social distance
Two years ago, when all the governments told us to stay at home, SmallAnt also had his idea to entertain people with a modified game of Pokémon. As? Well bringing confinement to one's own Pokémon Red. Basically, it is a game no coaches (because they are all at home). If you thought the Pokémon weekenders were heavy, do not miss how complicated the game becomes having to gain experience exclusively with the grass Pokémon. Also, to give it more excitement, it played in Nuzlocke mode.
Only super effective attacks
In this game mode, all Pokémon in the cartridge have the Superguard ability from Shedinja. This means that they can only be beaten with super effective attacks. It may seem like a fairly simple game mode, but it requires you to know the famous type table correctly -yes, the one that Folagor doesn't know. Otherwise, you will attack, but you will always remove a total of zero health points.
