I have seen similar challenges but your commitment to using the same team Ash did for key battles really made this interesting to follow.

Much respect to you regarding the victory against Brock. Never would’ve imagined it was possible to beat him with a lv 12 Pikachu and Pidgeotto lol

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thanks! In Gen 3 though, it would be almost impossible though. The fact that nobody had any rock moves, and geodude only had tackle made it possible.

[@tehSunBro]

The reason even stage 1 pokemon can get so strong in Gen 1 is the extremely busted EV system. Since there is no cap in Gen 1 you will most likely max out all EVs during the level grinding, making your Pokemon really strong. Theres a reason they added a cap later.

[@felixmcnuggets]

tf

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

Yeah and by later you mean gen3 where you can only get up to 255 EVs in a single stat and you can only max out two stats at once

[@sonquay8126]

Ok i was always wondering why they were strong and i didn't evolve em

[@frokydafroakie]

the limit for each stat is 65535 and can be maxed out on all stats

[@Ghi102]

​@@frokydafroakiealso, the stats increase according to the square root of the "EV" (called stat xp in this gen). So it's equivalent to having 255 EV in modern games. Also stat xp is calculated by adding the base stats of the poke, so most defeats gives 50-100 stat xp in each stat

[@phoenixmason4101]

In Gen 1 the damage calculations for move effectiveness are correct, but the message only accounts for the secondary type of the defending Pokémon. Since Bulbasaur is Grass/Poison, Poison moves show as “Not Very Effective” because they’re not very effective against poison, even though they do the correct damage. Same with Pidgeotto’s Normal/Flying type

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah that was a surprise playing through this game

[@MarkofWisdom]

ash really did have a really weird habit of just randomly throwing his pokemon away when they actually got strong, like he has some compulsive need to never actually have decent pokemon. Maybe that's why he didn't let most of his pokemon evolve? If they stay weak then his neurosis won't kick in and force him to throw away his now more powerful pokemon?

[@weedandwater]

You could have abused the badge boost glitch to make up for your Pokémon not evolving. Basically all badge boosts are reapplied whenever your stats are raised or lowered. For example the Boulder Badge increases your attack by 12.5%. Let’s say you get hit with a sand attack, your attack would increase again. You actually used the badge boost glitch unknowingly. Every time you used double team against Surge, Pikachu’s attack increased due to you having the boulder badge. Now if you actually know about said glitch then you probably did this on purpose. Once you get the volcano badge getting one of your stats lowered will increase all your stats. It’s pretty friggin hilarious and so fun to abuse.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Honestly, I never knew about that glitch. That’s so crazy, and ridiculously easy to exploit. Maybe next time I do a gen 1 run, I’ll use this to my advantage

[@weedandwater]

How could your Kingler be at lvl 60 in Agatha (24:41) if it ends the fight against Lorelei at lvl 57 (24:04) and was not used against Bruno? Same thing about Squirtle at lvl 58 (24:28) against Bruno and then against Agatha at lvl 60 (24:47). Was this really your first attempt (25:43)?

15:22 So what happened with Hitmonchan is that Agility is coded as a Psychic move (Japanese name translating to 'High-speed Movement'). RBY will prioritize almost always by type, with a much smaller (but not too small) chance to random move. Hence why Hitmonchan spammed Agility three times then randomed into Comet Punch.

[@humanwreckage4563]

15:58 I also don't understand the glitch here, Fighting is resisted by Flying and Poison is resisted by Poison.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Oh that does make sense. I though he was just being nice to me… So the other glitch is because of the ordering of types in gen 1. It’s true that flying resists fighting, but normal is weak to it, so overall it should have been neutral. For bulbasaur, again poison resists poison, but grass is weak to it making it neutral damage.

[@aceofspades4638]

The reason some neutral moves will say either "not very effective" or "its super effective" is because it looks at one of the typings when putting the message but it still looks at both types to do the damage calcs so the damage is right

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Correct. Its a glitch in the text only, but is still a bit confusing

[@oli.complex]

5:08 "Because Ash is Ash," No, because Pikachu was a bunghole in the original series.

[@Yurikon3]

So Muk being IMMUTABLE wasn't just an Ash-pull they made for anime, huh?

[@lynxgoddess]

About the Double Kick/Acid being "super effective" to Pidgeotto/Bulbasaur. They were not really super effective, but since the text is triggered by comparing the type of the move with the types of the hit pokemon in order and displayes effectiveness as soon as it can it gets wierd. If a pokemon is hit by an attack that is super effective against it's first type but not very effective against its second type, say the grass-poison type Bulbasaur being hit by the move Acid, the game will display the super effective message before comparing the move type with the pokemons secondary typing. (The same is true for the "not very effective"-message.) The actual damage is still correctly calculated though. :)

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yep! I didn’t realize this was a gen 1 glitch until playing through this game again. It was just surprising to see those types of messages when I knew it was wrong lol

What a cool Video!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thanks!

[@ohhellwhereami2574]

Also for sabrina fight, i had my haunter confuse her mons and they defeat themselves , since ash doesn't attack them i thought it would be cool if they got destroy themselves abd for erika i hope for burn by charmander and had poikachu use evasion move so just like gym burnt away her did as well

The Pokemon producers or who ever it was said, he liked how customizable girl characters are. And that's why Ash has a new female companion every season. ...even though I think he should've married Misty.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah that could make sense.

[@firebyrd7933]

Your muk did the exact opposite of ash's muk. His used his size and just layed on belsprout. Yours made itself as small as it could be.

[@Mrslykid1992]

Lol the fact you gave pikachu a ton of potions I wonder was pikachu drunk or just high ?

[@cinnamontoastcrunchgaming6430]

never fail to make me watch your video's!

Been thinking of Paldea and Nuzzlocke rules and... how can it work in that open a world? You barely know if you're on a different route or not and you can see the pokemon on the field easily. I just don't know how it would work.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

So they are somewhat divided, like south Provence area 1,2… As far as the first encounter, you can either go by the first Pokémon you see walking around, that’s what I do, or close your eyes and walk until he hear the battle music. It’s not a clear as it used to be, but it’s still doable

13:20 I regret to inform you that the Tower of Terror in California was closed down in 2017 and rethemed to Guardians of the Galaxy. The one in Florida still has the original theme, though. (If you knew about this already, then sorry for being a smart aleck)

[@NuzlockeJoe]

No, you’re good. A few other people commented something similar. That’s too bad

About the Tauros, there is a Pokemon Yellow Ash% speedrun that spends time catching 30 Tauros. About the Not Very Effective bug: The message only checks the first typing in the type chart priority list, however damage is applied correctly for the dual-typing. One thing that would have been interesting for Charizard is to have it traded from another Yellow version that way when overleveled, it disobeys. That wouldn't work after the 8th badge though. Maybe there is some code that makes it always disobey or to take away your badges. Did you know that a traded pokemon is more likely to disobey the further above the badge's obedience level cap it is?

You had my heart racing at "did you know that -----"😢
