Are you working on anything else? I’ve come back to this video multiple times now just because it’s a fascinating watch. Went to your account to see what else you’ve been up to but there’s nothing.

I can’t wait until someone decides to try and optimize this further to save time, and then we have an entire speed-run community around this challenge. Have a success rate percentage threshold that has to be maintained to keep the runs legitimate, and just see how optimized this code could possibly be.

This is like the Moneyball of Pokemon holy shit

This is enough to get accepted into nasa

Hot damn

This doesn’t really make any sense… you wouldn’t know if you’re even in a battle, you wouldn’t know if you hit or misses, you wouldn’t know if you got a critical and won versus got hit and died… if you died you’re in a Pokémon center, if you won you’re out in the open… not to mention you don’t know when you won or loss. There are so many branching pathways, you have no idea if you should keep walking or press commands to select abilities. Without vision or sight, there’s too much you don’t know. It simply isn’t possible in real life. Watching your button inputs make no sense. When youre in a battle, youre clearly using more A and B presses, yet when youre not in a battle youre only using directional presses. You would have no way to know when or if youre in a battle... this is exactly what im saying. There's no way I would believe this video is legitamte or that this is possible or was actually done unless you post a video of you actually doing it on a stream with a blindfold on, not facing the screen, and wearing noise cancelling headphones... Like you talk about knowing a menu is open or that a pokemon fainted around 30 minutes into the video. You have no way whatsoever to know a pokemon died here and how to plan for this or not. You would have to plan for yourself losing every single battle or winning every single battle... and every permutation. All I take this video for is a theory craft of something theoretically possible with an emulator or TAS. Needless to say, I dont believe this is real or possible in the way you have presented it.

Great video

as a blind and deaf person this was a good watch and listen

maybe a stupid question but if there is "two parallel universes", one where charmander is lvl 5 and the other where it is 6. Why not lose the fight on purpose? Wouldn't it be easier that way

Did you have fun?

This has to be up there in the hall of YT gaming fame, together with Challenger Andy's Gwyn run and Summoning Salt's Matt Turk Quest

This man genuinely dropped absolute gold then dipped.

You forgot to account for universes where your little brother nudges your character one spot to the right while your away

The one cheat code to rule them all.

Not going to lie, a rhythm game where you learn how to speedrun games is a fire idea.

I'm going to like and subscribe just because you deserve to get paid for this madness regardless. My god.

Helen Keller eat your heart out😂

Omg I came across this video after a year. It's fucking amazing. I'd like it again if I could

14:11 challenge failed, after 40 hours of hardwork

i want this to become a meme speedrun where the actual speerun it self is pretty much just tapdance on keyboard but all the hardwork goes into the crafting of the run! like a speedrun not for speedrunners, but for the people who theorycraft the speedrunners runs!

This is unbelievably awesome. Feels like SmallAnt on steroids

I wonder if you're doing other games or the post-game as well

What a huge waste of a life.

you'd think doug's weedle would have leveled up by now after defeating hundreds of chamanders

Pokemon: Hellen Keller edition

It's crazy how this guy got almost 30k subscribers off of a single video and then disappeared completely. Seriously feels like a missed opportunity.

Wouldn't it be easier to just throw the rival fight by spamming growl so you don't have to consider the giga chad lvl 6 charmanders

give inputs i will make macro

4:42 oh no not this shit again

the fucking parallel universe music always gets me

I’ve been meaning to say this for a year, and I’ve held back, but I just need to get it out of my system. TAS. This is a TAS. A TASBot cannot see or hear, it just does a sequence of perfectly crafted inputs. You made a TAS. Congratulations.

can i play the game while dead?

Hellen Keller edition

this is craziest pokemon challange i've ever seen

Wow, how did I only now find this? Incredibly cool, the amount of time spent on this must've been insane. Well done!! (BTW, I agree with the title being a little misleading / clickbaity. DeArrow currently renames it to "Creating a series of inputs to beat Pokemon Fire Red with any RNG" which is much better IMO.)

I feel like this video could provide an elementary undetstamding of quantum superpositions. At the start, the Charmander is in a superposition of ⟨Won| + ⟨Lost|. The xp gain modifies the superposition without colapsing it. I'm not even remotely close to being an expert, but this is suprisingly close to my current understanding.

Can’t wait for Pokémon Blind and Deaf to come out!!!

Also known as pokemon Helen Keller edition Edit: don’t get mad at me it a joke 😅 (also good vid bro’

Oh i thought u were doing rby noit fire. Lol the random miss could throw it all in the wind.

Great now solve chess >:)

Idk if it's the same in Fire Red but i'm pretty sure in Emerald if you save and reload the game you can't encounter wild pokemon for the first 4 steps. Same as after you finish an encounter. So if that works the same here you can bypass the fast pidgy.

And they say autism isn't a super power

This is such a cool video! Great job. So much effort went into this ❤

i read some other comments similar to my experience. i really thought this was clickbait and i kept ignoring it in my recommended. i can't believe how amazing this video is! honestly maybe you should rename it lmao.

This experience of blind commands reminded me of something similar You have just learned to code in the esoteric programming language called "Brainfuck" It is very similar to this

Before opening the video, I figured you would just try to feel the sounds by vibration like Beethoven

how does the runtime for the worst possible team of Pokémon compare to the runtime of the best possible team?

respect

Nerds are awesome.

The run is an achievement on its own, but the quality of the video/presentation is insane. Well done
