How I Beat The Hardest Pokemon Game Ever Made

[@CamembertRun]

I vaugely remember on the Sushi-go-round game that it was possible to ingest a 'wasabi roll' that would cause a player who ingests it to run around out of control It was also the lowest price item and you could push the AI into eating it for cheap wins.

[@wilsonweiseng6485]

i think that's tea, hot piping tea that goes well with eating japanese dish but really really hot, like noone in their right mind would dip their tongue in it like that kind of hot, like not only is it prepared with just hot water the ceramic cup that it is served in traps the heat so it stays hot for a long time kind of hot

[@neoqwerty]

@@wilsonweiseng6485 Nope, the green tea turns the Lickitung green and makes it shudder and stick its tongue out in disgust because it's bitter. There's a sushi roll with wasabi in it that turns the Lickitung red and makes it go "EEP!!!" and run around in a panic because it's too spicy for it.

[@theaconite1400]

I remember that too but being really young, my friends and I always wanted to get the Wasabis and green teas 😅

[@velvet3784]

I did not even know you are supposed to stack same food, I was just eating whatever upper-value food that appeared with little thinking and kept waiting for higher value food to apper (if there is no one) to minimum and I would usually win, normal difficulty. Worst thing is when you miss the food by like 1 cm. When orange appears I immediately go after it

[@robmalcolm8042]

Yeah not every system was great at running its own programs. Lol but I would say n64 does better than most emulation but parallel and other options have made n64 a lot better at emulation. I’d say a good example is 3ds which seems to have shader studders even on the latest android phones (it’s a lot better tho now) and decent pcs. I guess you need a actual 3ds to get good performance from 3ds games. Although I’ve heard Pokémon games 3 on 3 battles and other things lagging on real hardware too

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

Same, i never was able to understand how it even worked lol

[@LordMoku]

I wish I still had Pokemon Stadium. As a dumb kid, when I got Stadium 2, I assumed there would be no reason to keep the first, since it was a direct upgrade... The number of games I sold and want to buy back now, but they've quadrupled in price... True pain.

[@FoxTrot63]

I have no idea how much they cost but I have the original gauntlet legends, pokemon snap, pokemon stadium, turok the dinosaur hunter, and a few other games that are mint condition since I barely played the N64 as a kid and have just kept them on a display shelf as an adult. (I played the GameCube mostly)

[@loulou3676]

That frame perfect Rattata race was (chefs kiss)

[@davidbates3057]

A lot of the N64 games were rigged to hell and back. I legit gave up on one of them because there was no way of sanely defeating the end trainers when they had teams that could one shot any of your pokemon regardless of the type, and they often were allowed to go first, had near 100% CC chances, and a rigged hit/miss ratio in their favour.

[@TheBestAsbestos13]

There were a lot of weird rulings that unreasonably favored the computer trainers too. I remember they could only have one Pokemon afflicted by a given status condition at a time, so if you land a toxic and they switch the poisoned 'Mon out, all other toxics would just inexplicably miss/fail.

[@Kyozou10no]

That is basically the only pokemon game I've ever played, aside from Snap for the 64 and I LOVED every second of it those were the days man...

[@velvet3784]

I still play snap occasionally

[@onakaxy]

The funniest things about these mini-games is that in my friend group, everyone was a goddamn king on atleast one of them. The only game none of us could beat consistently was the sushi mini-game

[@NeptunII]

I remember that you can just use the second controller port so you can play as player 2 in these minigames against the three computers, which at ekans should give you an advantage

[@souta95]

Yep! I did the same thing, though I would use port 3 since that is what I had the most practice with.

[@YumiSparkles]

Today I actually beat Thundering Dynamo on Hyper difficulty, I don't have a video, but I DO have a photo I took that I'm willing to share, I just don't know how or where to do so Obviously a photo doesn't prove I didnt use a turbo controller or a TAS or something or that I didn't edit the photo, but if you can take my word on it, I did it on official hardware with a standard N64 controller, and the photo shows my victory in Thundering Dynamo and that it is on Hyper Mode (and I'm just as surprised as anyone else that I managed to do it) I've been trying to beat every minigame in Hyper mode and the only one I just can't seem to do is Run Rattata Run, every one of the others I've done at least once

[@無教会内村]

5:04 Funnily enough, shiny's weren't introduced until Gen II so this appearance of an alt colored Diglett raises a question of is a "shiny" something specific or is it literally any instance of an alt colored Pokèmon lol?

[@clessalvein876]

It’s something specific. The opposing Pokémon in other game modes have several nonstandard shadings and colorations which are reflected in the weird nicknames the Pokémon have.

Great work beating those mini-games, I remember these being extremely hard when I was young and I never knew about hyper difficulty until now! I wonder if someone can make a TAS for the dynamo mini-game, (well not a speedrun) or I'll word it better - make it automatically mash a button you select for an easier time.

[@drdca8263]

“Tool assisted superplay” is another thing that TAS is sometimes used to stand for.

[@pokepress]

In terms of difficulty out of the gate, the original Pokémon Ranger is probably up there as well.

[@neoqwerty]

I'd disagree on that, The first Ranger game was the first Pokemon game I finished in two days without ever whiting out/losing a fight. But then I was used to frantic circling on the DS (thanks, Poffin baking and Star Fox Command) so I might have had a wee advantage on speedrunning captures.

god i will do anything for another youtube video about stadium from this channel

[@kylesmith9573]

As a kid i played these games for months. Thundering dynamo can be beat but the odds are lower than a full odds shiney with perfect ivs. Theres actualy a set pattern to the color switches that you can learn. If you guess the set correctly it removes the cpus advantage. The main issue with thundering dynamo is the hardware. The physical controller cant register button presses fast enough to outoace the cpu. However some periphreals and third party controllers can register inputs much faster. (Side note these make dig dig and rattata race unlosable even on hyper difficulty). Now if you feel like thats cheating, every now and then the cpus on hyper mode will throw. You can try over and over again until all three throw giving you the win. However without the changed hardware or the random cpus, winning is impossible.

[@bluedistortions]

The buttons can register 30 presses per second. Even world record button pressers aren't going to be held back by that. But for the sake of your thumbs and the controller, yeah, would recommend a rapid fire controller.

[@feathero3]

Wait these were considered difficult? For once my confidence is being boosted from one of these videos. Now Poke'mon Puzzle League on the higher and hidden difficulties, there's a challenging game!

[@Tucker64]

I used to play this all the time as a kid and have beat all the minigames in Hyper difficulty. The Magikarp one is fairly easy since I have the rhythm down. Clefairy one is easy as it's just memorisation. Run rattata run can be hard to win but you just need to be really consistent when mashing and endure the pain. I used to be amazing at Snore war when I was younger and would perfect it every time, not as consistent nowadays but can still do it. I have only beat thundering dynamo 2-3 times in my life on hyper lol I do have one recorded but it's just gameplay footage. Sushi go round can be hit or miss but I usually go for the mid-high combos. Rock harden is easy once you have a feel for it. Ekans hoop hurl is hit or miss depending on how often your targets get sniped and as you say, dig dig dig is by far the easiest haha
