Feral Woman's Guide to Pokemon Gen 1 Completionism - Tama Hero

[@Tama-Hero]

Written Checklist/guide available on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/tamas-pokemon-1-110976478 No pledge necessary, I have made it a free post so that everyone can use it. I missed a pretty big chunk of exclusive content to the Japanese versions of Stadium when I wrote my guide (Japanese Stadium 2, aka Stadium 1 has 3 unique cups that aren't in the English version). Guide updated with relevant info/sources for preparing teams! Note that this makes the planning section for the Japanese leg of the run in the video totally inaccurate, I regret that because Nintendo Cup 99 is unique to prepare for.

Feral Woman teaches you how to become a pokemon master (In 6-ish easy steps)

[@itstheman0nthem00n]

Step 1. Be Ash Ketchum Step 2. Get Pikachu Step 3. Get all Starters (Step 3.5. Be a dumbass and don’t evolve them) Step 4. Catch other good Pokémon ig Step 5. Be in Alola Step 6. Beat all their shitty trainers

I completed my pokedex in Blue last year and consider that 100% by my standards. I used glitches, mostly to spam rare candies, but also to catch Mew. I also used a copy of Red to trade back and forth with on a 2nd Gameboy. It was a good time and it was nice to finally complete a goal that I originally set for myself when I first played the game back in '98. Only took me 25 years! 😅

[@crushermach3263]

congratulations! that's not an easy thing to do.

[@ShadowTasos]

Tama I want to say, you are by far my favourite Pokemon creator and one of my favourite KZbinrs period. The excitement in your vocie as you talk about old Pokemon games and very niche things you discovered along the way is palpable, and in many ways infectious. I have been struggling with depression for a long time now, but I cannot help but smile when I hear your passion about something that defined our childhoods, and I can't help but get a little passionate too. I've already 100% completed RBY, but not Stadium, Prime Cup R2 was too hard for me as a kid, but who knows, I might just give it a try again with your tips! Please always be yourself unapologetically because you are awesome!

[@MrVideoScape]

The hair caught me off guard, you look like if Jesse was a gym leader. Fantastic. And I'm literally gonna go hard core on gen 1 because of this.

Max stat experience at lower levels is quite easy. You can get max stat experience before level 50 even if you start at level 40. For some lower levels however, you will often have to trade to gen 2, deposit your pokemon into the daycare to reset it's EXP bar, and then trade it back to gen 1 to continue training.

[@Tama-Hero]

Thank you for the info!

[@terraSpark902]

@@Tama-Hero My pleasure

[@machomansam]

"quite easy" even glitchless? Even 10x Vitamins per stat is a tall order, and then you still need to KO, for example, roughly 1000 tentacool per mon to max it? Using glitches and speedup makes it probably not that bad? But without that, you're probably looking at upwards of 50 hour investment per pokemon unless I'm missing something?

thank you for these videos, since i spent 2012 to 2021 playing pokemon games damn near exclusively, i burnt out hard on pokemon after the string of disappointing titles (for me personally, anyways) and this kind of playstyle is something that really appeals to me, especially since it scratches a similar itch osrs does for me. thanks for these videos, ive loved all of them!

[@lukiaa93]

Actually completed the dex on VC blue using the trainer fly glitch at the beginning of the year as I had never done it before, it was so fun, then made me complete VC red without glitches a month after. I'd need to rebuy some bits to include a stadium challenge. Interesting video and its certainly making me consider stadium. Currently working on VC Crystal dex and Emerald dex at the same time. Never done the celebi GS event so ending Crystal with that then. I then found recreated events with e-readers and rng manips with iamablisy so been having fun finding shinies and doing those events in Gen3.

[@KeiranTrick]

This was super cool. I'm currently sick with covid and honestly every video I try to watch is too much for my head and makes me nauseous. But your voice was quiet and gentle enough for easy listening, without being hard to understand or hear! I'm unfortunately not able to sub to your patreon, hopefully I'll be able to in the future when funds are less tight, your content is certainly deserving of it for being so thorough, well researched and genuinely interesting to consume. Thanks for the hard work, even on free content for KZbin!

[@CiphersCinema]

I'm glad you mentioned you can import a drink item into gen 1 via Stadium 2. I actually did this during my gen1/gen2 100% playthroughs. With access to the department store early you can stock up on X Speeds and X Accuracy to always hit Horn Drill (which you can get from the Rocket hideout) on higher level Pokemon.

[@HybridAngelZero]

These crazy *deep* deep dives are like a nourishment for my soul. I actually really DO wanna do something similar to this in the future, but I would really need fully working Gold, Silver and Crystal games and sadly all mine have batteries that are kaput, and I don't really have the means nor experience to work with solder. I do hold out a secret hope that if the classic Pokemon games ever come to NSO, they'll be compatible with Stadium 1 and 2 on Switch. Speaking of, if you want a low level Ninetales with Flamethrower, if you have a copy of Crystal with a complete file, there's a guy outside the Goldenrod Game Corner who will teach Flamethrower, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt as many times as you want for a handful of coins!

[@RikkuEcRud]

You can get max Stat Experience by using the Day Care. Depositing a Pokémon in Day Care sets its EXP to the minimum for its current level, so you need to battle low level Pokémon until your Pokémon is close to leveling, deposit it in the Day Care, then immediately withdraw it again. Or at least, this works in GSC, people used it for the Little Cup in Stadium 2. If it doesn't work in RGBY then you'll just need to send your Pokémon up to GSC to train them, then send them back when you're done.

[@ChaoticMarinMusic]

This is the best title I've seen in a long time. I have no intentions of ever playing Gen 1 again (...I just don't normally replay RPGs after I complete them) and I still clicked. xD

Ah those amazing glitches. They've really become part of the Gen 1 experience, duping TMs to make multiple Pokémon have essential moves like Thunderbolt, Earthquake, and Psychic!

[@weikeongWK]

It warms my heart when someone is so devoted in Gen 1

[@middle_pickup]

Even if you don't abuse glitches, running into them unintentionally is the authentic gen 1 experience.

[@Used__Napkin]

My only suggestion is to also check out Red and Green to see the the original set of sprites. Unfortunately that’s the only major difference between the Japanese and International versions, so unless you’re like me and really like some of the OG sprites, you’re not going to get that much of a different experience.

[@hectors8133]

Here as a genwunner borned in 1989 I have to say that I love this video

[@MokyCho]

I somewhat tried amercing myself in the era but don’t have all the gen one games but i played on a crt while sitting on a rug and eating snacks playing between stadium gameboy tower and Super gameboy, playing Pokemon Snap and using Pokemon I just enjoy as apposed to ones that are “good” like a Meowth i never evolved because i love Meowth. I was never huge on gen 1 but that play through made me fall in love with gen 1 and I look back on it very fondly :)

[@kakhead]

(Working dad here) im a gen 1er and decided 2 months ago i wanted to do a living dex. I never played past gen 3 when i was younger. I spent the last 2 months 100% completing the gen 1 games and finally got a sirfing pikachu almost my amnesia Psyduck then i found out stadium prizes are illegal and wont move all the way up 😅🤦‍♂️🤷 so i quit a 3rd of the way through crystal and started emerald and plan to take the long journey of moving everyone all the way up. Celebi is probably going to be the only issue and am looking for a work around to get a "legit agate village one" hopefully i can complete it before the next shutdown Everything wil be on original hardware and ill come back to the gbc versions when im finished.

Maybe my school was different but nobody I knew had any ability or knowledge to get specific Pokémon through glitching. You duped master balls and nuggets, of course. The stat boosting items and rare tms like thunderbolt were common bonuses. But nobody took it beyond just getting infinite copies of important items Nobody says you have to care that people are pirating the games but to pretend that people are dumping tons instead of pirating is very silly.

One thing I want to add, the VC version of Yellow on the DS has a fully playable Surfing Pikachu game without needing Pikachu to know Surf. So if you use the dumping stuff that Tama mentioned earlier in the video, you can do the Surfing minigame without needing a Surfing Pikachu.

Pro tip to others on this journey: use a capture card for your N64 to Discord screen share your journey with friends! Many ways to do this, hilariously I'm using an "N64 to HDMI" cord -> Elgato HD60 S+ capture card -> "HDMI to AV" convert cable to split it off to my CRT. Somehow feels lagless despite the upscaling into downscaling lol (I'm sure there's a frame or two that I'm not noticing).

2:44 This is not entirely true. Yes people at the time abused the MissingNo glitch but the Mew trick came later. Ruby and Sapphire were already released by the time the first people learned the mew glitch.

I completed gen 1 and 2 last year on the 3DS (Discontinued btw). Super satisfying completing my childhood.

[@DarkBowser64]

I think you can also purchase "region-free cartridge slots" for N64 online if you don't have a dremel tool or otherwise don't want to modify your N64's original parts, and keep the original slot safe if you ever want to restore it. Those are usually 3D printed or molded already and sold for cheap. It'll fit both Japanese and North American style N64 cartridges.

I've had so much fun with the guide and just playing Gen 1 games in extra ways for the past few days that I had to sub to Patreon to tip you! Thank you for this, very excited to give the video a watch That said, I noticed a minor error with the guide - it has "Can also use Cinnabar edge to catch Safari Zone Pokemon outside of the Safari Zone." as a subcategory of beating Pokemon Yellow - but this glitch only works in Red/Blue. I understand this was basically just where all glitch options were listed, but wouldn't hurt to mention this so others don't have to research it on their own :)

Strange to get a Stand By Me callout in a pokemon game, it’s a really good movie and one I love. But also a tough movie about loss, guilt, and regret where boys set out to find the corpse of one of their peers- in a childlike way it was always about the adventure for them, hoping to find the body but not really betting on it. That is of course until they come face to face with the morbid prize at the end of the adventure. If you parallel this to gen one maybe you could find the same moral? What does Red find at the end other than the strange quiet atop Mt. Silver.
