[@marslensart]

This is a criminally underrated video. This is one of the more technically cool challenge runs I've seen of pokemon, and I like how it wasn't too technical to be a barrier for normal viewers but technical enough for more knowledgeable players to understand what was going on. I know that this video is 3 years old but this really deserves thousands more views than it already has.

This is so cool. One of my biggest gripes with pokemon games is that it essentially forbids you from completing pokedexes without trading and I'm an introvert from a place that doesn't have many pokemon players, so it's great to know it can be done in at least one game without too massive glitches

[@ChristianRB89]

Just remember to pause at least once before returning to the source of the Trainerfly enounters. Otherwise, your game will softlock when you return.

[@nadiaj6881]

There’s a much easier way to do the trainer fly without having to battle specific trainers, but it does require you to reach the elite four. First you would initiate the trainer fly and fly to the elite four. Then change the pc box which will result in the game saving. Second - restart your game go down to victory road (just walk down) and move a Boulder with strength! Then battle and defeat a random Pokémon. Third- go to the basement of cinnabar mansion and encounter a ditto. Once you encounter it switch to the Pokémon that has the special you need. You can either run or kill the transformed ditto and fly back to where you imitated the trainer glitch. Then you will encounter the pokemon

[@francis318VH]

I like to use Mew as a total destroyer with earthquake (phisical attack), psychic, thunderbolt and ice beam to get some attack variety since the stats of mew are all balanced but op, and instead use a kingler as the main HM slave, along with a fearow to fly.

Due to the fucky way the catching mechanics work, Great Balls are sometimes better than Ultra Balls. Namely against Pokemon with full health, IIRC.

[@Shadowless678]

If you growl 6 times at that digit I believe your gengar will be lvl 1 and using a glitch called *”Xp Underflow”* and after receiving less than 54 or such xp you’ll get your gengar from lvl 1 to 100. If you want an in depth explanation well uh idk might add to this comment idk tho

[@Zanto1050]

This video reminded me of when I played gen 1 back in my early teens. The only glitch I knew about was Missingno and I only used it in Blue to dupe items. My main game was Yellow although I started with Blue. My nephew got Red as his first game. From trading between all the games I finally managed to get 150 pokedex in Yellow. Problem is I never could catch Kangaskhan. I was one of the lucky kids that got the event Mew. If I could've caught that Kangaskhan I would have had a 151 pokedex without exploiting glitches.

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen7027]

[@alephnull127]

random piece of trivia: in Generation I, Poké Balls and Ultra Balls are at their maximum effectiveness when the opponent is at one thirdhealth, and Great Balls at half health. For some reason, this actually means a Great Ball can be even more effective for catching than an Ultra Ball. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Status Effects don't stack with health for some reason.

Golem doesn’t have a 4x weakness to Articuno as ice is super effective against ground but neutral to rock (rock is actually super effective against ice). It’s only 4x weaknesses are water and grass.

[@Ptylersworld]

I finally caught all 151 original Pokemon in Yellow thanks to this tutorial. One little difference is that the glitch that deleted Mr. Fugi in your run ended up deleting a scientist and Rocket grunt in Silph Co, and the second Snorlax south of Lavender Town. Luckily, I had already caught the Snorlax at Celadon City, so I narrowly avoided trouble there. Otherwise, no problems. I did use Ditto encounters for some of the Trainer Fly Pokemon, as I didn't like having to spend all my money or lose half my money for the Pokemon you had to lose a battle on purpose in order to obtain.

[@VinMetal666]

I've done this in Blue and I'm doing it (slowly) in Red now. My Yellow cart won't save anymore sadly.

[@JimmySee]

You can save a lot of money by just buying great balls. Especially because ultra balls are broken in the first gen and have a significantly lower catch rate than great balls.

[@Ghi102]

Not really true: Ultra Balls + Sleep are far superior to Great Balls (~20% chance per ball regardless of the Pokemon because gen 1). However, without sleep, great balls are better, you are correct. Also, HP of the Pokemon is mostly irrelevant, it helps a bit, but is very low compared to just sleeping + ultra ball

[@megamachopop]

​@@Ghi102I don't believe this is correct either. Great Balls are much better at high HP compared to Ultra Balls, and with the minimal amount that low HP improves catch rate, Great Balls + Sleep is the best way to catch Pokémon for the most part.

[@JimmySee]

@@Ghi102 he didn't start using status effects for catching until like 3/4 of the way into the let's play and they're still more cost effective regardless

hey there! When you were fighting Porygon, you mentioned lobbing Ultra Balls at full health, however, due to how gen 1 was programmed, Great Balls are objectively better for that use case. Anyways, did you know that Safari Balls are just renamed Ultra Balls?

Great video man! I’m also trying to catch all 151 in yellow but I’m trading to Pokémon gold, and using the trainer fly glitch for kabuto and mew only.

Sounds cool. Mew's use was mostly as an HM slave, so catching him last would kind of be a shame. I know that Gen 2 has an absurd way to get pokemon using the Coin Case, but it's ridiculously time consuming.

Is there a reason nobody makes the mew in cerulean lv 100? Now, I'm not sure if it works in yellow, but, if you growl at that gym trainer's shellder 6 times, the mew you encounter should be lv 1, put mew at the first slot of your party, get into a wild battle, instantly switch into your main pokemon and defeat the wild one, after that your mew should instantly grow to lv 100, the only downside is the mew can only learn moves through tms as it skipped every level, but mew can literally learn every tm and hm so it really isn't a problem

You could also completely bug out the game so that walking through a door teleports you to the hall of fame. Level 7 Mew is about the right level of "I want to have this advantage, but the all the work isn't done for me."
