Wanted to like but it’s at 69 so comment instead

And it doesn't change with the newer Pokémon games too! Consistency👌💯

What you mean the early ones are broken, watch a brilliant diamond speedrun

@@twistynipps6246 just about to say the same thing!

I love how people say the newer games are the same They are flawed But MUCH better than red

Actually it's the opposite. New games are like fabric, snip a thread and they fall apart. Classic Pokémon though was SO restricted in what you could fit into one little cartridge with the processing power of a gameboy a majority of their development went into compressing and optimizing the game. That's why you will almost NEVER see bugs in casual play, the only bugs you'll find have to be done intentionally and completely shatter the game. They aren't coded like fabric, they're coded like stone.

Right?! I know some of it is based on knowing how to manipulate the game's codes (getting which trainer ID you want), but some of this blows my mind.

It's less a matter of "discovery" at this point and more a matter of ripping the game open, figuring out what ram values do certain things, and reverse-engineering actions to correlate to the exact right sequence of values for what you want to achieve. Turns out it's a lot easier to figure out the most optimally-glitchy name when you can just pull up a ram viewer and see how it effects rng, haha.

The community is so massive now, thousands of hours are put in everyday. Look at halo infinite, the latest speed run in like 40mins.

go check out summoning salt if you’re interested in the history of speed running! he actually has a great video about the history of pokémon red/blue speedrun

With arbitrary code execution

To be fair it definitely is the coolest

Right? How the hell did it take me months to beat this game if these guys can do it in 8 minutes. I must be terrible at it.

@J Dude Give up on your dreams

That's funny . I thought for sure that was 8 hours

so imagine, your life ending very very young, and you not being here today to type this ( in that same logic )

Spending 120 hours beating the game has a kid and seeing it could had been over in less than 20 minutes.. Heartbreaking 😂 🤣

Yeah, it really makes you wonder how anyone figured this out it's weirdly specific what you need to do.

@@billthewhovian probably what happened was someone discovered the double fight glitch to hall of fame accidentally and the rest of it was just trying to minimize time for it so people figured that out over time

@@rishabmeh32they looked at the game data and took it from there

Uncle Ben wha hapben? Frame perfect drinking challenge

once you understand the fundamentals of the gameboy, anything is possible

The thing about the Gameboy is that it's really weak, probably much weaker than you realize. Because of this, developing actually good games for the Gameboy was hard (not that it's not hard otherwise but yeah), and the devs need to make a lot of optimizations to make the game work. Some of these optimizations are perfectly harmless, but some aren't. One thing for example is in order to conserve memory if a value is small enough you can usually store another value in the same space, and you can use the same spot for different values in some places in the game. That means that if you know where things are stored (which with decompilers and emulators that show how the memory is allocated) you can manipulate certain places in memory to have values they don't normally have, and cause unintended behaviour in the game. Obviously I don't know what exactly was used in this run, as I didn't dig into it, but I can assume some of these and other things like RNG manipulation (that happens because the Gameboy isn't really random but gets values from the console's time variable, which starts when you boot the console. If you boot a console and do the exact same things, you will get the same results. I know Speezy explains but it is related here soo) and other stuff I don't know about have occurred. It's incredible.

Summoning Salt you're welcome

I suppose the fact that the original pokemon games were held together with chewing gum and tape.

In short, nerds who are coders.

Crits in first generation works differently and is pretty broken. It's not uncommon for "Slash' to his 20 crits in a row

That's because Slash was a move that was SUPPOSED to have a high critical rate. Just like Karate Chop. It was the whole point of those moves.

@@jarrettpeeples9745 Razor Leaf too.

high crit rate was really high back then (like x8)

Gen 1 crit was based off your speed, the faster you are, the higher the crit chance, the highest being electrode at base 140 speed and 27.34% crit chance each turn.

My brother gave my copy of blue to a friend of his (without me knowing, mind you) so now I play on my 2ds. I got no colors, other than the black and white version, and the green gameboy screen. I miss my Pokemon blue

Lmao yeah come to think of it, I think I used to do the same thing.

@abeurakadabeura I actually told my buddy that was my rival irl at the time that mashing B is how you get the trick, it didn't work he said, so I told him it was a joke that mashing B lowered your chances and mashing A increased it, he got mad but swore that was true xD

yeah i remember as a kid hearing rumours about that and trying different combinations of mashing A or holding A. now as an adult now with 10+ years of computer science background... i am highly dubious. I'm no expert on RNG but this just doesnt sound specific enough. isnt RNG always some combination of frame-perfect + something more specific than "just mash A"

@@benja_mint the official formula I ended on was mash A until the final bounce of the poke ball, then hold A as it rocked. 100% catch rate guaranteed

GSC, s/m(both regions) x/y are the ones I know of

A neat fact for those that might not know yet: the international versions of gen 1 are based on Japan's blue version, which actually the second revision of gen 1. Japan's red and green are the original gen 1 versions, so it makes sense that blue isn't as broken as green.

reminds me of an old Apple game, "ultima 3", where inside the final dungeon you will encounter some enemies called "floors". they look JUST like floor tiles, so they are effectively invisible. VERY frustrating!

@@chrisspotts7523 but newer pokemon games do have censors on what you can name yourself or your pokemon

Yeah, sometimes as runs evolve they lose some style factor. I remember old OOT runs were so hype, and while some still are, a lot I just can’t understand.

These games aren't dead lmao. Pokemon, Mario and Zelda are absurdly popular speedruns. They'll never die at this rate

Most popular speedruns are of old games.

The yolo ball thing reminds me of holding A+up or B+down when throwing a ball. Allegedly it guarantees capture, and all the times it doesn't work are because you didn't time it right. It's all BS though, and the tricks here only work because it's coming off a fresh reboot which resets the RNG and then you do button presses that aren't too hard to reproduce perfectly, getting the RNG to spit out the numbers you want -- Spearow on this tile, and then a successful full-health capture. Holding buttons randomly like A+up when tossing the ball might affect the RNG, but you'll never know the difference unless you use savestates and change what you press and when. So for normal gameplay it's like blowing on the dice and giving them a couple extra shakes before rolling them.

An A press is an A press. You can't say it's only half.
