  1. Of course I stuck around! I was rooting for mah boy Pinsir!
    But I was surprised to see Scyther struggle this much, but yeah his movepool sucked in the earlier generations, poor guy needed some good stab moves like U-Turn hah!

    And I always will say that Aerodactyl is the true final boss!
    Quality stuff though man, you've become one of my faves to watch doing this stuff!
    Keep it up! Hoping to see Electabuzz vs Magmar as well! 😀

  2. That was so fun! Thank you Scott! I found this kind of challenge really fun! I'd like to propose a dual challenge between Lapras and Jynx, maybe,… But sure I would enjoy any challenge you do! Thanks a lot, bye, have a good week!

  3. I’m about a minute in at this moment, how does Pinsir have a way to deal with ghost types when it doesn’t know anything via Learnset that can take it on? It’s normal and fighting type moves and neither affect ghost.

  4. Great vs video Scott, heres a few others that could pair up fairly well for future ideas:
    Koffing vs Grimer (or evolved forms, or allowing them to evolve)
    Psyduck vs Slowpoke (or evolved forms, or allowing them to evolve)
    Magnemite vs voltorb (or evolved forms, or allowing them to evolve)
    Mr Mime vs Jynx
    Kangaskan vs Tauros

    Keep up the great work!

  5. Both were bad in their original games. Haven’t been exactly great going forward either but both either evolved and/or had a mega evolution by early gen 6 so ig they’ve had their time to shine (rip mega pinsir tho stealth rocks did him dirty)

  6. Just wondering, why didn’t you allow pinsir to learn guillotine? 1 X accuracy and it would be 100% accurate? Or are items not allowed and I don’t pay enough attention? 😅

  7. Pinsir is my favourite bug pokemon I love its mega and its design same as the stats but not as much at the learnset.
    Gen 1 is weird because :
    Gym leaders likely uses X defend, attack etc.
    Poison is very affective against bug.
    Fight can hurt ghost.
    Fire spin, bind continues and your opponent can't move after that.
    Tail whip and growl can failed!?
    Karate chop is normal not fight.

  8. Time for round 2, scizor vs pinsir in pokemon fire red or heart gold/ soul siver if your fancy. But in all seriousness thank you for posting such a fun video. Like most people I had red in gen 1 so I don't actually think I ever used a pinsir.

  9. Pinsir had to do something sneaky to Scyther to keep its lead. In video game races, there is a lot of cheating going on. Like in platform game races, it's not uncommon to trick an opponent into getting a game over just to get ahead of him.

  10. Loved the video, and it is a really cool idea!
    One thing I noticed though, since you have such high attack power, and swords dance, you could have taught hyper beam, and it would be an instant win for either, because in gen 1, if you get a KO, there isn't any cool down with it, so Blaine wouldn't be an issue.
