🌮 What I use to make my ROMs: 🌮
►Regular assembly: github.com/pre...
►Pokecolor decomp: github.com/dan...
**This is what I use. I can't give out the ROMs I make. I knew nothing about how to make these ROMs but these are the tools I used to teach myself so here they are.**
🍤 Solo Run Rules: 🍤
►I can only use the title Pokemon in battle. No switching at all, HM Pokemon are required.
►No use of items in battle. Potions, TMs, etc. are allowed outside of battle.
►No use of skips/exploits. This includes the Pokedoll Marowak skip. Badge boost is unavoidable.
►The TMs for Double Team and Toxic are banned. Pokemon that learn similar moves naturally are allowed to use it but not the TM.
►I play on x3 speed and use the in-game time for the run along with resets to rank these runs.

[@ThirtyDimensionedMissile]

As soon as i read the title i went here faster then a vaporeon can disappear

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Lmao, that's what I like to hear.

[@fnln3011]

That sprite is perfect fit for that goofy gen1 look

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Yea some of the custom stuff fits right in. I've went with a more gen 2 style these days.

[@ich8871]

Apparently, Hoenn has too many HMs, too. I agree ngl

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

I think Dive is a cool idea but overall it can be a little tedious.

[@ich8871]

Not saying they're bad, just saying 8 HMs is too much

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Any HM is too much. It's just a mechanic to look parts of the game until you do what the game wants.

[@ich8871]

@@GymLeaderMatt1987 hmm, that IS true

Yes ray

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Got some work to do! We'll see it one day.

[@Milton..]

Too much agua

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Way too much!

[@reddragonpress]

Great example of how powerful Ground-type STAB can be coming off that massive Attack stat 😎And yes, I would definitely love to see how Rayquaza does in this type of run!!! It'll be interesting to see how such a solid mixed attacker fares in Gen 1.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Yea the main holdup is learning how to do some new effects with it's signature move. I need to do some studying to get it in.

[@coreDesignix]

I can't believe this whole time I thought Groudon was ground/fire, but it's only like that in its primal form. Suppose I got my wires crossed there, lol. Too much water!

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

I didn't want to bring out the Primal form just yet but yea I guess it is red and all lol.

[@Metalhammer1993]

I mean it kinda feels like it SHOULD be ground/fire doesn't it?

[@kangaskdan]

Great video! And really cool to see you rom hacking! Kanto is not ready for moves like Precipice Blades and Lava Plume 🤣

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

I firmly believe ground might be the best typing if you have the attack to back it up and at least 75ish speed. There’s a little more road blocks and planning but ground has been solid for me lately.

[@jussioman]

Yes Ray! You and Scott have the best Pokemon content on KZbin. Any smaller tuber can copy Jrose but these cross gen runs are something really unique plus youre a great entertainer.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Yea, you have to do something different. I think there's a line of trying too hard and actually knowing your shit, lol. I got a passion for these and hope to get a little more out but they are fun! I was going to do Missingno a while ago but Jrose beat me to it so we'll come up with something else cool.

[@jussioman]

@@GymLeaderMatt1987 Would it be possible to do Missingno in some other generation like Johto?

[@nicknorton95]

Too much water! Love the retrofitting later gen Pokémon!

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Yea they are fun to do/make. I enjoyed routing this one.

[@schwartd]

Yes Ray! Btw Matt, have you heard from Jrose? Hasn't posted in 2023, hope he's doing well. Love what you guys are doing as a community with these speed runs!

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Personally? Never heard from the guy. Commented on some tweets he posted but he doesn't reply. But he often goes on hiatus for like 3-6 months at a time. He posted about it just being a mental health thing.

[@schwartd]

@Gym Leader Matt thank you for responding, hope he feels better soon. Again, love your work, look forward to seeing more!

[@f0rm0r]

The Rock Through change technically makes the game harder since enemy rock types in Rock Tunnel and such are more likely to hit you :D

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Technically sure but in a run where you resist rock, outspeed them, and can just one shot them I don't think there's any relevance haha.

[@juliekilkus4510]

So glad to see you making your own rom adjustments! It makes it super interesting. I think if you have time, bring on the big green sky snake! Rayquaza would be a blast to watch.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

For sure. The main thing is trying to figure out self lowering stat moves. It's not a property in the game and I'm trying to see if I can figure that part out to make new effects for Dragon Descent.

[@InfernosReaper]

@@GymLeaderMatt1987 Maybe ya can get some Gen2 code to swipe or something. I don't know... What I do know is I believe that if you put your mind to it, you can get it done.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

It's a little more complicated than that. Gen 2 has actual scripting to call things while Gen 1 is much more archaic in terms of calling things. I've reached out to some people and I think I'll get it done within a month or two.

[@SoraDonaldGoofy99]

You can say exactly the opposite for Kanto: too much land! I know people thought there was too much water in Hoenn, but I never had a huge concern with it. Minus the Tentacool/Wingull spawn rate...

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

It's just a meme for the IGN review lol. They took points off of the game for it having too much water.

[@SoraDonaldGoofy99]

Oh. IGN's weird.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

It's a meme for a reason!

[@Arist988]

Too Much Water! I like how you’re taking your time to fight later generation Pokémon moves to first generation. As someone who played a lot of the 1st and 2nd gen Pokémon but then stopped I appreciate the different Pokémon but a game I can relate to and remember what’s going on

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

The fight part makes it a little confusing but I think I understand what you are saying. Yea, it's important to let these Pokemon have their moves but keep the rest of the game vanilla to me.

[@chrismcginty5903]

YES RAY! And i pronounce rayquaza how you did in the video before pausing. ray-qwayza just sounds weird to me as opposed to ray-qwaza. But great run as always Matt!

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

For sure. I'm reaching out to some connections to get help for Ray's signature move in the code that will also help for future runs but there's several Sanqui runs that need a redo for sure but we'll get to that when it gets here!

[@FreyOdyssey]

21:04 your Ground senses are tingling, because of the incoming TOMBSTONER BROTHER!

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Tinglestoner.

[@NyQuilDreamer]

Whenever you say the Super Nerd is rich in experience, it makes me think I'm watching some horror-tinged documentary wherein powerful animals are eating some poor nerd for nutrients.

[@Tsunderebolt]

The Big Red vs Pokemon Red! This was about as much of a slaughter as I expected, lol

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

For sure. Just showing that Torch Song wasn't going to be the best. Had a lot of those comments that seemingly ignored that a few Pokemon were already faster than it lol.

[@miiitchhh225]

Liking and commenting for the sodie-pop algorithm until I get a shout out! 😅

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Ha, it’s a process I just kind of do at random. With thousands of people I can’t give preferential treatment 😎

[@MekasUrn]

Too much water! I would love to see a Rayquaza run! But this one was the one I was most excited to see as Groudon is my favorite of the three.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

I was a big Emerald guy growing up so I guess Ray is my fav but I'm not sure how high they rank overall.

[@TheKmacback1]

This is my Super Bowl thanks matt

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

You get two today. 😎

[@travisalexander6440]

Too Much Water! Fantastic run, and way to prove the point regarding Skeledirge (Torch Song is broken; I don't think that was a point of contention, but Skeledirge is less so. Does the mon hold the move back, lol?), but regarding Groudon's overall performance against Fire Gator, meh. Alakazam was more impressive for breaking the mark while not being a Legendary. 5 minutes is still 5 minutes, though . And... YES, RAY! You are a better man than I am for even considering not finishing the Trio.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Well with Alakazam you got to consider that it’s not hindered by the slow leveling group. Having something with 100+ in the stats that matter that has a good leveling group is a huge reason why it is where it is. Overall, I just think its fun to see the best of the best stack up in these types of runs. As for Ray, I’ll need to find a way to implement new effects for some moves so it might be delayed a bit but I’m working on it. I’ve reached out to some individuals and hopefully I can get it running.

[@kbowman772]

In RBY, you should really only be using Rock Slide on Flying types for Pokémon with STAB Earthquake. There's nothing in the game that resists Earthquake but is weak to rock other than flying types.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Yea I mention that a STAB EQ and non STAB super effective rock slide has the same effective power a lot in other videos. At the end of the day, it's a 10% accuracy hit but saving PP on EQ is generally why you would. If you are casual, heal all the time, and aren't worried about having a slower time, then sure.

[@Kanbei11]

Yes Ray. Also nice fossil choice, glad to see dome dood return

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

The dome dood is in every video, silently sometimes.

[@davidklein8608]

Too much water! I thought maybe you'd do this in Yellow version to show good Giovanni who the real ground pokemon master is. Or can you only hack red/blue right now?

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

My general rule is that Yellow is only a Pokemon's best game if they have a hard time with Brock but have a wide enough movepool to handle the tougher late game but Groudon doesn't need to lol. I can do all the games but I just like gen 1 in general but Yellow is in the minority for gen 1 for me.

[@soph13s]

yes rayquaza! also i agree about the faking excitement thing but i decided a while ago to be zen since it's mostly kid-friendly channels that do it lol

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

For sure. I've toned down on my vulgarity a little since I got some comments like 'my kid loves watching these' but the live streams can still get foul lmao. I think when you start pandering is when you lose a little of your core audience, imo. He's huge and it probably doesn't matter but I don't like it. I also don't like it when people come into streams talking shit on his behalf lmao. That's lowest lifeform energy right there.

[@Xavier.Villa.]

Are gen 1 misses also removed? I'm sure we all hate them 😆 Also yes ray... Make his start with dragon claw and extremespeed too

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

No way. The vanilla game is fully intact. These runs follow rules though. There's no gen where it starts with those moves. I'll likely use gen 8 or 9 learnset for it but I need to develop some code to get the signature move to work correctly.

[@roymerkel8008]

Too much water! Because you told me too (just watched Rayquesa, I know how this guy did, but watching to see how he got there)

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Appreciate that! Yea, you get to see a true physical specimen with good moves dominate gen 1.

[@ITSONSIGHT.]

Kee-ogre.. Graw-din 💀.. you did those names dirty bro.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Nah. When you are dealing with a near 3 decade old franchise you enjoyed as a child, saying things phonetically just felt natural and it’s a habit that’s kind of hard to break. If anything, I’ve learned that people are too up their own ass about pronunciations of fictional creatures but I am making an effort just so everyone can dry their eyes lol.

[@creyx999]

Pls give us a Rayquayza Run I used to pronounce Groudon Grondon for the first few months haha

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Lmao Grondon sounds funny for sure. I'll get to it. I have to reach out to some peeps and get some help with some coding for some of the moves but I'll get it done eventually.

[@KnuxMaster368]

Ray says relax! (Go for it!) Also uploaded on same day as you where i documented a hilarious gen 3 bug used in the glitched run for ruby/sapphire

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Nice. I've done some runs in gen 3 but I definitely don't enjoy the slog as much lol.

[@panblu]

Haha this is cool, is there anyway you making this into a rom hack so we can enjoy groundon in kanto too? I would like to play this too

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

I'm not sure. I think just the sketchy/legality side of it would put me against putting more time into looking into that. I just don't think it would be worth risk considering this is just a hobby. If you look up the pokered disassembly, there are tutorials on how to add Pokemon. I didn't do anything too fancy with it.

[@135forte]

Mega Rayquaza or one of the Mewtwos could probably tear this game apart the fastest. Those stats are nonsense.

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Yea, we'll see a mega eventually but it won't be either of those two. Stay tuned in the summer most likely.

[@michaelroywright9975]

Not only do Rayquaza, I think you should redo Kyogre. And also, too much water

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

For sure. I'll hold off on that one a bit but there's several Sanqui runs that need a redo but I'll get to some new stuff before I redo content that's not even two months old.

[@samthewonderkid]

I'm glad Groudon didn't disappoint!! Would absolutely love to see Rayquaza

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Yea, Rayquaza won't be simple. I need to figure out some coding stuff to do the run I'd like to do so it might be in development for a bit but I'll get to it. Lowering your own stats doesn't exist in gen 1 and I desperately need that to work for it's signature move Dragon Descent.

[@adamsgro4378]

Do you think with two Pokémon you could get a sub 2 hr run?

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Nah. These Pokemon dominate the game with hardly anything extra. It's playing the game at faster speed that causes you to not get two hours. Sure, I could play the game at a snail's pace and just do one run in the time it would take me to do 3 but there's over a thousand Pokemon out now, brother. Work smart, not harder!

[@animaster2307]

Groudon is one of my favorite Gen 3 legendaries, so it's nice to see a run with it. Also, I'd love to see a Rayquaza run. Side note, though, I always pronounce Rayquaza how you did earlier in the video. It just sounds better to me personally.

Glad groundon did well,super cool pocket monster. Always found it such a bummer there wasnt much to do with legendarys in game,so solo runs are a fun way to play around with them. Also I get the fake hype,its like acting and putting on a show of the run. Its kinda weird if you look at it para socially but it's really not much more different then other entertainment if you think about it. ~~also shiny hunters a built off it lol~~

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

For sure. There's a ton of Pokemon that this style gives you a chance to fully see their limits in a way and fully experience them. Tyranitar is next week in Crystal and that's one that you just got at the end of the game and used some but seeing it from the start is cool. As for comparing the fake hype, I see it as pandering. At that point it's like a pog champ emote or like a fake react video just wanting to pull in views. It's very disingenuous and if you are doing it on something that's already niche, I think it's just hurtful overall. Like who gets into that? The other stuff you mentioned are mainly just pandering to a younger/wider audience.

In gen 1 it does it a lot. There's a priority list for moves so even if something is neutral it will say 'not very effective' or 'super effective' depending on the move used and the type of the Pokemon. It's the same reason Ice damage would say not very effective on Gyarados even though it's neutral damage. It's just text, it's neutral damage.

There's a sticky legality issue with distributing ROMs but I'm thinking of making like a legit GBC game out of them like 'Pokemon Groudon Edition' for this one, for example. It would have a dark red case, play just like a GBC game and maybe just make a patreon with a high tier to where maybe I could ship them out. Just some ideas, but I just don't want to risk anything with the ROMs but I do educate people who ask what I use.

7/10, not enough water Also yes Ray, who doesn't want to see the most busted dragon beat up Kanto and take its lunch money?

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

I think I could get it to work. I was a huge Emerald fan so it'll be fun to do.

[@RedSkyYT64]

@@GymLeaderMatt1987 it'd definitely be cool to see, i really like seeing how later gen pokemon can perform in the earlier games, it's something i wondered about for a long time as a kid but never thought until recently would actually be possible to try out. Best of luck!

[@GymLeaderMatt1987]

Yea, the bottleneck now is self debuffing moves. Nothing in the game lowers your own stats and it'll have to be a new effect but I just can't wrap my head around how to do it.

That’s so cool 😊
