How Hard Is It To 100% Complete Pokemon Red and Blue?

[@ChuVsMe]

Well, it looks like we hit my ridiculous and unachievable like goal. Better make a start on Gold and Silver. This is gonna suck. Also, thanks for all the love on this one my dudes and dudettes. ❤️❤️❤️

[@StarlyteGaming]

Good luck! You'll need it

[@EPE77U]

Wow that's ridiculously underrated channel. Thanks youtube for recommending this one! 20h for all that feel damn fast for me since I have around 30 hours after beating elite four on white and around 27h after giratina on platinum

Your not gonna like gold and silver

Subbed in hope this video comes out some day

[@jasonguest1123]

Really appreciate all the hard work you put into this run. It was awesome watching you go through and complete EVERYTHING!!

[@drax1994]

Love how you complete the entire game doing absolutely everything in about the same time it would take me to get about 6 gyms in 😂

[@ChuVsMe]

Watching actual speed runners makes me feel so inadequate. 😂

[@Ultimaximus]

It naturally takes a long time to play normally if you're actually reading all the text, so you shouldn't feel so bad

[@dwightcyrillmosende9729]

Played 17:33 - 17:37 at the slowest speed possible and did not see TM34, but surely you have it since it is given by Brock. Need more of this for other gen. Awesome!

[@ChuVsMe]

I totally forgot to put it in 😅 but yes, I did get it!

[@Wolkenphoenix]

was looking for a comment like this :D That was so sad to watch, it jumping from 33 to 35 :D

[@riley5735]

man this deserves more attention because of the amount of effort that went into it. not even just the main thing, 100% in the game, but the editing and audio and all

[@ChuVsMe]

[@ShinySalamence1]

20:53 "But how did I do?" sound bite from Johnstone caught me off guard, that was a good one.

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

The way you explained the glitches was well done, comedic, yet keeping enough of the core idea that someone could end up trying to look into them.

[@lamarfll]

I feel like a challenge like this would be far more interesting and challenging for Gen 3 onwards, due to also having to get the stars in the trainer cards, which can get extremely rough depending on the game.

[@donlyphans7801]

Yeah he'd have to learn how to battle to do that. And the pomeg berry glitch doesn't take more than 30mins to figure out, and he can unlock eon ticket. I'd watch that video

[@palharaldrindal4871]

But… did you talk to every NPC?

[@AmazingSpider-Man]

I did it once in Pokemon Yellow. It's actually easy. The only thing that poses a real challenge is getting all the invisible items in the game. But that's achievable by using Bulbapedia as a guide; it gives you the exact location of every single hidden item in every single town, route and building; it renders the itemfinder unnecessary. That's how I did it.

[@silentprotagonist3786]

Bulbapedia (or any similar good wiki) is goated, you can start collecting hidden items even before you get Itemfinder (it sucks anyway) just by following Bulbapedia item list for each location

[@HESOMADBRO]

Finally a run where I dont have to ask: "Which fossil did you choose?" But I did anyway :D

[@Neo_Bones]

Love how you added in the Johnstone “how did I do?” voice clip

[@richardlandgraf1953]

Its funny that you got all of Blaine's questions wrong so you didn't miss any trainers, but you can answer them correctly and just talk to the trainers after, the battle will still happen. Great video.

[@CrateSauce]

This was awesome! I'd love to see a Pokemon Gold/Silver 100% but I can understand why that'd take a bit too long.

Watch an angry Aussie man slowly go insane collecting anything and everything in an early gen pokemon game, for the low low cost of one like? How can I refuse?

[@roxlife8173]

no this is to underrated im so sorry this hasn't gone viral.

[@Someguyhere111]

Suggestion: record every single Pokémon in the Hall of Fame as fast as you can. As in across all of your League victories, you have to have used every Pokémon at least once. Addtional challenge: you can't use the same Pokémon species in more than one run, so you can't just get a broken lvl 100 Pokémon and use it to carry 5 Pokémon at a time.

[@ChuVsMe]

I love this!

[@nosfrattirek5690]

That was pretty entertaining. I'm not sure if it'd really be possible to do that with other gens, since most of them require stuff like real life events and transferred mons from older gens. Maybe for gen 2, but given the day/night cycle there's always new items to get and trainers to rematch and I'm not sure it'd feel like truly having 100%'d it without doing stupid stuff like getting 99 of each berry or something. And you'd need to replay through RBY anyway for stuff like the fossils and legendaries that aren't in GSC. When I saw the title, I was kinda hoping that you would include having all 151 Pokémon at level 100... I don't know if anyone ever actually did this, I tried it a few years ago and it's an absolutely miserable, soul-crushing experience. When you beat the elite four with your level 80 Weedle and just mash A and don't pay attention, and now you have a Kakuna and the game auto-saved... and you realize you're ALSO gonna have to do that with Kakuna on top of starting over for Weedle... seriously, don't try it.

[@zacksmith9305]

Gen1 also had events as well. Mew was released in Japan only in various events. Then in Gen 2 Celebi was released in Japan only and only if you had a cell phone/GBC connector, and it was only supported for a period before Game Freak discontinued it. also Gen1 and gen 2 link up to pokemon stadium 1 and 2 respectively and if you want to 100% gen2...well you can't, because the random number generator in Stadium 2 doesn't go high enough to get every item 😅 the irony of "Gotta Catch'um all" being the slogan of a series where virtually nobody has ever been able to catch them all without glitches

[@Logan-bx8vk]

You deserve a lot more views. Thank you for this. You are a warrior. An icon. Your efforts are recognized brother.

[@watsonwrote]

I did something similar with Pokemon Yellow where I made a complete living Dex, while also battling all the trainers. I'm now almost done with a complete living Dex in Crystal When I completed Yellow I thought I'd finished it for good, but it turns out a complete living Dex in Crystal also requires another complete run of Pokemon Yellow as well as a Complete run of Pokemon Gold, lol. Those are done and were surprisingly fun, so now I just need to finish up. My goal is a complete living national Dex from every generation since I already have a complete living Dex of all the current Pokemon. I've finished gens 4, 5, 6, and 7 in the past, so I'm nearly there. It's cool that you made a video actually documenting it and I'm sure editing it together took a lot of work. Thanks for putting this together!

[@Peelster1]

Wait, you have a living dex in all the generations except 3 2 and 1? Wow. That's impressive. Also, I'm guessing you mean a living regional dex. Or do you currently have 3577 Pokemon over gen 4 - gen 7? Why does Crystal's living dex need another full playthrough of Yellow? I could understand another partial playthrough for Crobat, Espeon, Umbreon, Steelix, Scizor, Kingdra, and Blissey. for the Eeveelutions you'd have to do it twice, but it wouldn't have to be specifically Yellow and for Blissey you only go all the way through the game if you're getting Chansey in Unknown Dungeon instead of the Safari Zone and it still wouldn't have to be specifically Yellow.

something i wish to inform you of is that you don’t have to fail the questions in the 7th gym to fight the trainers, you can just walk up to the trainers and interact with them to instantly start a battle

[@allthelenons]

this is completely amazing! I was about to start playing FireRed with the intention of 100percenting it and this gem of a video made me give up on the idea. thank you so much!

[@user-yq5mn8eo1s]

Thank you so much for the video. I plan to be doing this with the physical copies, and my choice for the 100% was Pokemon Red due to it being the childhood favorite. I'm also going to be link trading lots of starters/other exclusives from Pokémon Blue in the beginning so I can not only complete the Pokedex, but possess each evolution in chronological order in my storage box. That means I gotta account for everything early 😂 like determine how many times I am gonna restart the opposite game just to fill in the gaps. This is just a little thing on the side that I'm doing, so I'm not in a hurry to complete this, but your video is giving me lots of insight as to what is considered complete, so i appreciate the info! Cheers! 😂

[@patbilek692]

The Johnstone "but how'd I do?" got me

[@Hutch2Much]

iirc you can use the Stadium games to transfer items between games, so you could probably only do this with 2 glitches great work! this all seems super painful to get through lol

[@Lagaa]

If you think about it being easier to complete it back then because of trading being a lot easier to access, youd actually be incredibly wrong. There was no google, no pokemon db or bulbapedia. People had no idea of what pokemon were out there, or where to find them. It would be 10x harder.

I do consider this a world record, because it's nice to see someone 100% without game breaking exploits, and the only tricks you did were necessary.

In order to 100% complete pokemon red you also need to max the stats of all pokemons (I think it's named effort value), get them all to level 100, get as close to 99 as possible of each items, get the hidden nugget out of bounds in the safari entrance! Then there is the challenge of the perfect game file which involves having all the best IVs. But most of all that is impossible because you would die of old age (or of boredom probably)
