My longest video for a number of years.

I've already done solo runs with Rattata in Red/Blue, Sentret in Crystal, Zigzagoon in Emerald, and now it's Bidoof turn to defeat all the boss battles in Platinum by itself. (Only exception are the two battles when you team up with your rival)

There was a time when I absolutely HATED Bidoof. I used to think it was one of the world's worst Pokemon, due to being common as muck, being weak, and very unpleasing to the eyes. But eventually, I realized Bidoof's selling points: its abilities, Simple in particular.

Simple doubles the effect of stat change moves and abilities, like Growl and Intimidate. This means when you use an X item on it, its stats improve twice as fast as most other Pokemon. It's tremendous fun to take advantage of, but very few Pokemon have it as their ability, so this run was a great opportunity for me to use it often.

Unfortunately, that's all Bidoof has going for it, really. Its stats are piss-poor, and its movepool is limited. Simple can be a double-edged sword when you face enemies with stat decreasing moves, (I really should have used Guard Spec more) but criticals are its Achilles heel, as just one from stronger Pokemon of the game will KO it in one hit no matter what. Expect to see a blooper video soon.

Sorry about the screen being smaller than usual. I had to save this in a lower format, because my computer couldn't even handle the finished file in the regular format. I also screwed up the visuals during the second Bertha battle. I'm still getting to grips with this new editing program, okay?
