Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best.

I'm so mature.

Here's a clip from my latest Channel Member only video...

Tiny little channel update: I'm bringing back the old overlay (with a couple of modifications).

I tried out the new one for ~6 months to see if it made any positive impact, and it didn't.

Everything's slowly going to go back to Museo, with the softer colour palette.

Here's the schedule for the channel over the next week!

I've been using the same intro style on my videos ever since day one, but I think they're getting a little bit stale.

So, I'm experimenting with a new type of opening. Here's an upcoming video with both the old and new style, so you can see the difference it makes!

Friday marks the beginning of a new chapter for the channel.

We're not saying goodbye to "Classic" Solo Running entirely, but we are embarking on a new, harder challenge - the SuperMON challenge.

One Pokémon, 4 moves, and zero resets, and it's level capped.

Gengar's up first.

It's a very, very minute detail, and something that most people won't notice. I'm bringing back the custom backgrounds for each Pokémon's thumbnail

I fell out of the habit of it when I started focusing on backports, as they shared a common background but they're included now

Here are some examples
September 17, 2025 at 8:06 PM
I've got another line to add to the backport collection - the Vespiquen line!

This one is likely gonna be very tricky when it gets its run. Combee isn't built for battling, and loses its speed upon evolving into Vespiquen!

Fun fact: You can't get a legit Gen 2 shiny Vespiquen!
September 16, 2025 at 6:49 PM
Another Gen III backport can be crossed off the list!

This time, in the form of the Aggron line. It's been hotly requested, so I'm very glad to get it done.

It's a physical powerhouse, which will be great, right up until Red.
September 15, 2025 at 11:09 AM
We can add another Gen III line to the completed backport list.

This time it's the turn of Baltoy and Claydol.

I've never really had much exposure to these lines, so I'm very interested in seeing how they play at some point!

I've just re-backported Dudnsparce after 18 months.

I love seeing the difference in learnsets when I bring a backport up to date - it's a real indicator of how much more skilled I've become with the Gen 2 code.

The original learnset was good for its day, but I think I prefer the new one :D

I'm live in 15ish minutes with Milotic's Backport in Pokémon Crystal!

Let's see just how fast we can beat the game!

Lake of Rage Shiny Malamar!

I've played through Pokémon Crystal. A lot.

Here are my fastest 10 runs at 4x speed!
September 7, 2025 at 11:37 PM
I may be jumping on the bandwagon here, but I always enjoy backporting Pokémon into Pokémon Crystal.

Here's Malamar. 99% complete with learnset - the only duff move is Pluck because I ran out of space.

I'm always open to requests and suggestions too, especially if they're fun to play.

I've been working on a little something for the card pack openings on stream - they're now linked directly to my website, so you're able to check your packs without having to rely on the grid that displays on screen!

I've also added Gen IV into the mix, along with guaranteed Rare/Epic packs.

Next week, we take on one of our biggest challenges yet in Pokémon Crystal.

A Hardcore Nuzlocke, but if a single Pokémon faints, the challenge is lost.

This took several months to record a successful run, and I am SO excited to share it with you all!
July 4, 2025 at 7:43 PM
I make content.

Some of that content is coming out next week, but what will we see?

This is what you can expect on the YouTube Channel: youtube.com/Squidgy

It feels deeply unpleasant up here with blanket grey cloud and high humidity, but I think I'd rather have this than what you have.
