I’d like to mention that while you can’t skip Bill in FRLG (like you can in Gen 1) by trading over a Pokémon that knows Cut, you can still skip the S.S. Anne this way. As a matter of fact, if you do this skip and then return to the S.S. Anne once you can use Surf, you can find yourself a hidden Lava Cookie (a nod to the Gen 1 truck rumor).

The best part about the Brock skip that let's you walk through walls is that, in speedrunning, it's literally called Brock though walls

I love how the bike glitch is essentially just Red straight up ignoring the gaurd and giving him the middle finger. Then proceeding to jack someone's bike and go on the cycling road XD

My headcanon for some of the glitches is that the guard from Cycling Road saw how persistent you were and loaned you his own bike and that the Pokedoll reminded the ghost of her own child and appeased her restless spirit.

Whoever figured out how to Brock through walls had way too much free time, and I'm very thankful for that.

The old "any% no save corruption" route used Brock Through Walls to get to Saffron, where you'd then grab an Abra from Celadon, use it to encounter missingno twice to set an item count to 255, underflow your item bag using the glitched item, then use the glitched bag to edit memory and warp to the Hall of Fame. You can beat the game in under 20 minutes using that, but nobody runs it now because people worked out a way to warp to the HoF while still in Viridian Forest and that takes like 11 minutes instead. Gen 1 is cool, because you can completely destroy it in no time at all!

When the games first came out, I had no guide and didn’t know how to get past the Marowak ghost to progress the game. When I used the Poke Doll for the first time, I thought I had found the trick to get past the ghost, and when I tried it, it worked! I played those games many times, and it wasn’t until I was much older that I learned I was skipping over a huge portion of the game.

My favorite thing to do is to use glitches or cheats to obtain the dummy item called ?????, often referred to as the "surfboard". It allows you to use surf without any HM or badge. You can begin the game by surfing south from Pallet without ever obtaining a starter. The game will crash if you get into any battles, but you can still run from wild Pokemon. You can access a large amount of the region and even surf past all the trainers between Fuchsia and Lavender. If you also glitch or cheat in the Poke Flute, you can make it all the way to Celadon and begin the game with the gift Eevee.

I actually beat the Pokemon Tower via the Poke'doll on my first play through when I was a kid. Didnt know it was a skip at the time

That "Cycling Road without a Bike" glitch, I discovered that one for myself about 20 years ago. I really couldn't be bothered going to get the bike in one of the games, and I was at that young age where you believe that if you hold a direction on the D Pad hard enough, it'll force you that way. I had no idea how gaming glitches worked until I got my first GameShark and completely wrecked the Hall of Fame, so I found it relatively amusing

The Poke-doll skip is legit one of my favorite glitches, and one that actually improves the game. Gen 1 is already quite a bit more open with its progression post Rock Tunnel, but having another option that's relatively harmless (as you can go do anything you didn't), helps freshen up repeat playthroughs, and even opens up team building a bit more. I think there's an interesting discussion to be had about glitches, and if/how they impact the quality of the game. I know Gen 1 has a bad rep for being glitchy as hell-- and it definitely is-- but a lot of the really disruptive glitches are pretty back loaded (usually requiring super specific methods that youd be unlikely to find on your own, like Missingno.), and yet there are glitches like this that can make even casual playthroughs more interesting. It reminds me a lot of Super Mario 64, really.

Love how Pikasprey still managed to sneak some softlock setups in here.

You can blink a youngster out of existence, cage a 10-year-old boy in a zoo display for eternity, and cause your rival to travel backwards through time after defeating him. This is the kind of content I am here for.

one of my favorite things to do is think of narrative reasons for in-game quirks i like to think that giving the marowak a pokédoll would activate her maternal instinct. she would see the doll as a proxy for her child, and want to take care of it. it wouldnt quell her rage, but it brings her a kind of comfort in the afterlife.

I think this might be the first Yellow video that focusses on how to make Pokemon games shorter rather than massively longer :P

It wouldn't be Gen 1 Pokémon if there weren't tons of glitches!

I thought of a good softlock. I haven't tested it though, due to it taking an extremely unnecessary amount of time, so it's entirely conceptual. In a short summary, it's Emerald exclusive and involves trapping the player with a very low level pokemon at very low HP and an Egg in the first E4 chamber, and then forcing said player to activate the Pomeg Glitch to faint their only Pokémon to reveal that the Egg is a high enough level that it can solo a battle with Sidney, which, if my data is correct, should allow them to both receive money and black out to the Center. They can then use the prize money to purchase at least 2 Ultra Balls they can use to catch a Goldeen to teach Surf and a Lairon to teach Strength/Rock Smash.

There's a softlock you can do using the pokemon stadium 2 + drink item skip. Use the drink item to skip the route east of Cerulean. Go through rock tunnel backwards and defeat all the trainers on the skipped route except the first lass. Deposit all your pokemon except a level 100 frozen Venusaur that doesn't know cut. Jump the ledge above the lass and save the game. You're now forced to battle her as you don't have cut to get back to Cerulean City. Her first pokemon is an Oddish that only has status moves and absorb. You can't get statused because you're already frozen and absorb does 0 damage because it's 4x weak and Venusaur has too much special defense. You never defrost and she never runs out of pp so the battle goes on forever.

I once did a mono-water type run of FireRed where I did the gyms so wildly out of order that Erika and Lt. Surge were last, but otherwise played the game normally/as intended. That was a lot of fun - no glitches or unintended skips, but it was definitely a refreshing way to beat the game. Once you get access to Cut, Kanto really does break right open if you know how to get where you're going.

The ability to transfer items in Stadium 2 is a reward for beating one of the modes. I say that's a nice trade-off for getting acces to stuff like the TM for Psychic early.

What I love in FRLG is that they broke something that worked in RGBY - the Nugget Bridge Glitch. In FRLG, lose at the bridge after getting the Nugget. The NPC will keep giving them to you. You can get nearly infinite money this way. In RGBY, they remembered to flag it so the nugget only gets given one time, win or lose.

Gotta love how even in a seemingly unrelated video, you still wrap it back to softlocks

THE ULTIMATE POKÉMON PLAYER IS BACK BABY!

Hey! Finally someone acknowledges the cycling road skip, I think I mentioned this like, years ago on an older video of yours, and nobody seems to have noticed that you can skip both the guard at cycling road, AND the safari zone, by mashing A and holding the direction you wanna go

I love exploring old glitches. Still amazes me how delicately made the pokemon games in that messing up one small part can throw the whole thing off. I do miss people finding glitches funny rather than using them as an excuse to rag on the series. Like the wonder of the old days are gone or something.

There is an alternate way of walking through walls (from fucia city). Either put all but one (non-poison type) Pokémon in the PC, or faint all but one (non-poison type) Pokémon Get the last remaining Pokémon on your team poisoned (recommended on route 15) Enter the safari zone and immediately try to leave. Select "no". This will cause you to be put back into the safari zone area. Save and reload. Try to leave again. Select "no". This will cause you to be ejected from the safari zone area with the step counter still active, but invisible. Save. (Optional, but will help save time if you mess up) Walk around, (recommended next to the ledge next to the gym) being careful to not use up all 400 steps, healing (using potions, not antidotes) and saving occasionally. Save on step 399, next to a ledge. (To save time in reproducing the glitch if the game crashes) Jump off the ledge. (This will cause the attendant to call you back to the safari zone entrance) (Saving and reloading beyond this point WILL cancel the glitch) Test if it worked by walking onto the attendants desk. You will find, you can walk freely around the room. (CAUTION! DO NOT LEAVE THE ROOM) Walk around the room until the Pokémon faints. (This will send you back to outside the last Pokémon Centre) Walk (or fly) around the overworld freely (Do not get into a battle, as this may cancel the glitch) (Some actions, such as walking in front of Blaine's gym without the secret key will cause the glitch to be lost)

Don't forget going to saffron early means you can get psychic way earlier. Food for thought.

Glitches exponentially increase my enjoyment for a game. If a game has interesting glitches, it makes the game more fun, especially after playing it normally and having nothing left to mess with. Pokémon games have always had some great glitches

I love how we love these games so much that we still talk about their glitches 20 years later. I wonder if in 100 years, people are gonna view Gen 1 like we view events from WW1 now.

As a kid, I always thought using a Poke-Doll on the ghost Marowak, was how it was meant to be done. (I also didn't know how to get the ghost Pokemon back then)

The man, the myth, the legend has returned.

i love sequence breaking in games just to play them in the wrong order. first time i actually beat legend of zelda ocarina of time, i used glitches to beat the child dungeons in the reverse order (jabu, dodongos cavern, then deku tree). some day i wanna do it again but also do the adult dungeons in the wrong order (spirit, shadow, water, fire, forest, jabu, dodongo, then end with deku tree)

If you include the safari zone glitch that allows you to walk through walls where all you need is to poison your Pokémon and jump over a ledge, you can still realistically do all this and skip Brock, leading to a 7 badge run This one leads to more disasters than normally though I’ve seen

God I missed these videos, man. Some of my favorites on the platform.

Your videos are always a joy to watch. Everytime I see a Pikasprey vid in my sub box I get excited!

I always figured the pokedoll skip for Marowak's ghost was intentional, as if you were giving her a plush baby doll to calm her rage to let you past.

Lorelei: *Please spare me*

It's so strange listening to Pikasprey read a script after watching his streams for months

Fuschia City Headline: Child Falls Into Safari Zone Pen, Becomes Main Attraction

You don't have to backtrack after using Brock Through Walls. As long as the last place you healed at was either Pewter City or Viridian City, you can either use an Escape Rope or intentionally lose a battle to get sent back. Also, as an additional tip, since Pokemon don't get healed when stored in the PC in Gen I, you can deposit the Bulbasaur in case you want to use it again and don't want to go through the hassle of lowering the PP of its moves to the right numbers every time.

This is very exciting thank you for uploading again it’s felt like too long

5:28 When I first played this Pokemon game, I was confused on what to do after rescuing Bill and defeating Misty in Cerulean City. I didn't know I had to go through the guarded house, and I thought I had to cut the tree below the city. I thought I could use Cut after getting the badge from Cerulean Gym, I didn't know I also needed the HM.

Brock Through Walls is one of the most satisfying glitches to pull off when you walk from Pewter to Saffron city without freezing the game

I miss MissingNoXpert. I have his Pokemon Yellow Glitch series playlist saved, thank goodness

The HM Cut exploit makes me wonder if there's still a way to get to Vermillion City in the remakes, skipping Bill's house. Could you use Teleport to get back to Pewter City, then use your traded Pokemon to use Cut and get through Diglett Cave?

Using Pokemon Stadium to item cheese into Saffron City takes me way back. Great video!

Been watching your videos for a very long time now. Thanks for bringing so much joy into my life! You're awesome, keep it up!

Pikasprey your videos are absolutely fascinating, thanks for your content!

That sequence break in the Pokemon Tower was how I got through on my first playthrough! I went and got the Silph Scope afterwards and felt very silly!

I cracked up laughing when you said players have been trying to beat the game in reverse. Breaking sequences is usually somewhat mundane to me, but that was funny because I can just imagine someone taking this challenge personally in a Michael Jordan fashion.

This content is so nostalgic of all the content that brought me to this channel originally. As always amazing work!

your videos always manage to be super interesting, this is a bit like what made pokemon crystal clear so cool, no need to follow a sequence, you can do things in what ever order you want giving the game a breath of fresh air

I love game glitches so can't wait to watch this!

14:00 despite all my rage I am still just a Red in a cage

Great video as always! I’ve been rewatching your dreaming Mary and cat in the box let’s plays on your other channel, so it was great to see you upload this!

This has to be your best video so far since I started watching your videos all the way back in 2018!

Glad to see you with a new video! Hope to see more in the future :)

This isn't so much a skip as it is trivially easy to do, but It seemed to me like they originally intended to have the Seafoam Islands be required (other wise would you need to go through them to the rest of Route 20. But as long as you beat Koga, have surf and get back to pallet town(with fly or cut) you can get to Cinabar island the back way where as you need strength to get through Seafoam (i think)

you know its a good day when a new pikasprey video is in your feed

Great video, interesting sequence breaks; all of them were cool, keep it up!

When I was a kid I got completely confused over the silph scope - I didn’t know how to find it and didn’t know about the team rocket encounter. I got through it with the pokedoll and didn’t know I’d skipped anything I don’t remember how things went so far as lavender town for the rest of that game. My mom had let my brother delete my file and when I played through again later I’d understood how to do the team rocket part

I am a humble, greedy trainer; I've only used Brock Through Walls to nab both fossils in Mt. Moon.

I really love the atmosphere of your pokemon videos. I guess the topic of glitches or softlocks, combined with the music you choose, really works well

Pikasprey yellow uploads making my year like Christmas!! Thank you!!!

Ngl this reminds me of how I caught Zapdos and Articuno in Let's Go with only three badges. It's so easy to skip in that game, I actually skipped badge 4 by accident before finding a route (in a video) to catch the two so early. Pretty sure I either did or could have completed the entire team Rocket plot with three as well - and it was possible at two, I just didn't notice.

first time I managed to get rid of the ghost was using the doll and I believed it was the intended method too, it never occurred to me that it should be a key item though to be fair drinks aren't key items either and you need one to progress so you probably can lock yourself up if you get out of money?

This was awesome! I love learning about lore, development and glitches in the Gen 1 games.

Finally a top quality KZfaqr is back so close to Christmas, Have a good one everyone.

Thank you for another video!!

The only man that probably can challenge smallant

hey man your vods are part of my nightly routine, just here to show my support!

Wonderful video! Great to see you posting these kinds of vids. Keep it up!

How was that Bulbasaur glitch even found... I can't help but imagine someone who's gone mad with conspiracy theories sitting behind a GameCube just trying every possible thing to do in the game

I think I did the Poke Doll skip on my first time in Blue because I thought it was the intended solution

Great video! I missed this kind of stuff from your channels! Well done

KZfaq randomly threw this on my front page so I guess it's once again them for my yearly Pikaspry channel watching. Let the comfy commence.

But why do you need this specific Bulbasaur? What's the mechanism and how the heck has somebody discovered that?

"Reasons generation one is the most glitch-filled, reason #151.."

its been a while since i've seen one of these, thank you so much for the upload

Merry Christmas to me, a new Pikasprey video? So excited 🙌🏻

This video brought me back some childhood memories. When i was a kid, i had some friends that used to play Pokémon Red/Blue on GBC all the time and we had this one guy (let's call him "Jimmy" for the sake of explanation) Jimmy was an asshole that was always bragging about how good he were at Pokémon, hated losing, was over competitive and always whined like a bitch calling us "cheaters" when he loses 1v1 matches on Pokémon (good ol'link cable days). Someday, somehow, Jimmy learned the "multiple items glitch" on GEN1 (something about copying the 7th item in your inventory and fighting Missingno.) and he did the glitch to copy masterballs and rare candies; he never taught us how did he used to catch and level up every mon so fast, he just bragged about it telling us we "were bad at the game" (and believe me, internet wasn't something very accessible back in the day). So, after we got tired of Jimmy and his attitude, we did some research and learned the "walk over walls glitch" you mentioned on the video. We then went to Jimmy's house, and while he was distracted playing Mario Kart on his SNES with one of us, me and the boys we're doing the glitch on his GBC. We made sure that Jimmy hasn't anything but a Rattata named "JIMMY SUCKS" (all caps), no escape ropes, no teleports, no Fly and we made sure he couldn't make the Rattata faint by softlocking him exactly in Fuchsia City "zoo". (the guy had all the 150 pokémon lvl 100 and spent months playing the game "normally" before discovering the Missingno. glitch) After that, we left Jimmy's house. Not so long after, he noticed what we did and then he ran into us crying, the guy was as mad as he could get. He threatened us and tried to beat one of my friends (which gave him a cute purple eye in the occasion). Jimmy then called his parents, we had a nice scolding session from our parents and after that, we never heard of Jimmy again. Everyone won that day, except for Jimmy, i guess... Good times.

Pokemon Gen 1 being such a beloved game, such a timesink and also so ambitious; all culminates in a perfect storm for creepypastas. I honestly don't think they would have been so popular if Pokemon didn't exist because the game so prone to so many different kinds of glitches that as a kid, if you heard a friend tell you that all of this pokemon looks messed up and then the game crashed in a really creepy way, you'd probably believe it. Because it just seems possible. Especially when you are playing the game at 11pm, trying to use that shitty lamp thing to light the screen and with no sound so your parents can't hear you awake.

I love this kind of videos. Keep up the good work!

This is ultimately all I was trying to figure out as a kid. Never worked out a single one of these. Cool to see them all compiled together, all these years later

I originally did the Poke Doll glitch when I played for the first time with no knowledge of it being a glitch I just thought the ghost was lonely and can use something to cuddle with. When it was revealed to be Cubones mother, I thought "Aww, she misses her baby"

A perfect Christmas present. A new series is always cool. (Though I'm still excited for the next Gem Collecting)

Hooray, you uploaded! I always get so excited!

I love hearing you talk about pokemon games, another amazing video

Gen 1 is so broken we still discover glitches to this day.

"Can you beat Brilliant Diamond with only a Ditto?" Next please

Always wonderful watching your stuff.

Amazing video. I'll always look up for this kind of content.

And now the new game has an exploit where you can run to the hall of fame and beat the whole game in 17 minutes. After all these years it’s still the same game.

Ah, the good old days when remakes were actually _more_ polished than the originals...

Always love to see a pikasprey upload

That early clip of walking along the barrier down to Cinnabar brought back some memories.

I guess this goes to show that Pokemon Generation 1 was programmed on duct tape and is being held together by said duct tape.

I thought of a brilliant softlock for picking in one of the newer games. You can walk diagonally in the Diamond and Pearl remakes. You could, theoretically, get stuck in the ice puzzle in Candace's gym using this. Betcha can't pick ur way outta that one.

Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

The best part of brock through walls is that you can get all 3 fossils, go to cinnabar (need an escape rope too), revive the fossils then go to the mansion and use an escape rope and boom right back at pewter with 3 lvl 30 pokemon
