How QUICKLY Can You Complete Professor Oak's Challenge in Pokemon Yellow? - ChaoticMeatball

Geez, Pokemon Sun and Moon certainly are taking a long time, so enjoy yet another filler game! Well, I guess it's not filler, it's just shorter. Welcome back to Kanto! This video still took quite a bit of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you liked, commented, subscribed, or shared this with a friend.

[@felixcowin755]

The available in this section edit is super useful

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

Glad to hear it, it was pretty easy to fit in with the Game Boy's resolution. I probably can't do it unless I modify the layout for Emerald, but I'll take a look at what I can do.

[@randomstuff2848]

Yeah, I'm gonna start doing my own, and I'm using this vid to help me.

[@randomstuff2848]

It's really usefull

[@xKois]

ChaoticMeatball if you can do this more often, it’s a banger

[@Wolb]

I like the addition of the “available this section” graphic, but would it be possible to add transparency, a checkmark, or some other way to say “as of this moment, I have caught/evolved these Pokemon, and still have these to obtain”?

[@maganhassan2627]

That would be cool

[@darker1376]

America still doesn’t really tell us what he had at each moment of the video though does it which is what he was suggesting

[@FmyP95]

I just noticed he forgot to put the Machamp in the side graphic even though he got it by trading that girl in the tunnel. 0/10 bad video

[@FmyP95]

Nevermind. He added it to the next available graphic. 10/10 good video

[@karyoplasma]

19:09 that is because the shaking animation of the pokeball in gen1 is based on the rng roll that checks if a pokemon is caught based on its catch rate. zapdos' catch rate is so low that if you use a low-tier ball to attempt it, you will either miss the throw or catch it because there is no inbetween.

[@agirlinsearchof9057]

Even if you have an Ultra Ball and it’s at low health and under a status, it’ll be that way. - a person who caught all three legendary birds in this game.

[@karyoplasma]

@@agirlinsearchof9057 Might be, yeah. The shake animation is supposed to be an indicator of how close you were to a capture but it's pretty worthless in some cases.

[@aerohydreigon1101]

1:44 That is how Falkner got his Pidgeotto

[@AhmedHussain-ju6xd]

Lol

[@Mattchu.the.Pikachu]

Back in the day I always use to catch this and use to argue with Psypokes Admins who insisted that a level 9 Pidgeotto didn't exist. Still to this day the Pokemon yellow walkthrough on the website doesn't have it listed.

[@Mattchu.the.Pikachu]

Futhermore Falkner's Pokemon were originally his father's Pokemon

[@SuntanAlbino]

To answer your question as to why Lt.Surge only has one pokemon; It's another anime tie-in, he only uses a Raichu against Ash.

[@Fsilone]

Fighting moves against Pidgeotto say they're super effective because the game only checks the first of the target's 2 types when calling the effectiveness text. It's still only 1x effective because the 2x for Normal and .5x for Flying cancel each other out.

[@tonytang7550]

And in some cases it checks for the second, not sure the exact pattern though

[@deltatin2758]

I believe it actually does check the second type if it's neutral vs the first type

[@genwunnergreen2100]

"No glitches." *SAD MEW NOISES *

[@VenusMoonBunny]

Sad mew yes

[@Mr.Tw1sty]

Mew 👁️👄👁️

[@razzi0718]

yeah, but the glitch for Mew could get you every other pokemon in the game, so it’s kind of like a “no exceptions” thing

[@TheUltimateRare]

Yup no mew for you since trading is out of the question.

[@nathanhamman418]

Hey chaotic, there are 5 moon stones in Yellow. I have all the evolutions in my copy. One is a hidden one by clicking on something in Mt. Moon

[@jacksonsmith4689]

Adding the whole “available this section” is a big help.

[@DocDoesGamingYT]

It's funny how Gen5 was actually the first generation to not include a visitable version of Kanto

[@tonytang7550]

And gen 6 is so far the only generation (Not counting gen 8 since it's not finished yet) to not feature the Kanto Gym Leaders

[@DocDoesGamingYT]

@@tonytang7550 oh, right! But the forest (is it santalune forest?) is also a big Kanto throwback

[@tonytang7550]

@@DocDoesGamingYT The entirety of X and Y is a homage to gen 1, don't forget the Kanto starters you can choose, the Snorlax fight, the Lapras gift, and the fact that Mewtwo and the 3 legendary birds are catchable in this game

[@DocDoesGamingYT]

@@tonytang7550 I have to admit that I already forgot about all of that

[@kimberly_5682]

This means that Kanto appears as a location you can visit in more gens than as a location you can't visit. Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, Gen 4, Gen 7 all feature Kanto in some capacity. Gen 5, 6, and 8 do not include a version of Kanto. (Unless GameFreak throws decides to throw Let's Go Johto into Gen 8)

[@jamesasker3846]

that in-game trade evolution haunted me for years!!! I was convinced i saw a trade for a machoke in gen 1 as a kid, but could never find it ever again as I was always playing red/blue - finally i've found you ricky!!!

[@brianlampert5797]

In the future you can save yourself time by using more effective switch training e.g. when you were switch training charmander instead of KOing Pokémon with pigeot you can use Pokémon yet to evolve like oddish

[@t_hanos21]

I like that you put the available pokemon on the side

[@debbieporter3513]

What he's not mentioning is that after he gets 20 pokemon he has to go back to the PC to switch boxes before he can catch more

[@PKMNwww411_MkII]

The Japanese Blue version has an in-game trade involving a Pokemon capable of evolving by evolving.

[@lichyyyyy]

Huh

[@thePersonoyt]

Evolving by evolving

[@C.Ezra.M]

Actually, in the U.S. versions of the games, there were more in-game trades for Pokémon that evolve via trading: Sun and Moon: Haunter for Alolan Graveler (-> Alolan Golem) Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Phantump for Phantump (-> Trevenant)

[@GlitchyNoibat]

You can also get Gigalith in White 2/Black 2, but I don't know if you'll count that because they directly give you Gigalith, not Boldore

[@ron2291]

I’m really thankful for these videos 😮‍💨 I’m working on a living dex challenge with all the Pokémon being from the generation they’re come from originally. These videos make it so much easier to be able to just see exactly what’s available where I am at in the game so I don’t spend too much time in routes searching for Pokémon I don’t need.

[@redhatgaming5308]

Is no one going to mention how badass Pidgeot's sprite is in this game?

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

Yellow and Crystal definitely have some of the best sprites for sure, though I can't help but be biased toward the animated sprites of Gen 5 since that was the apex of the 2D art style for Pokemon.

[@RemixerDarken]

Watched this while farming Shards on my Black 2 nuzlocke. This was quite the informative video. Also, congrats on 10,000 subs.

[@sachi7614]

He's actually working on Sun in the meantime.

[@vrcastillo828]

The other trade evolution in the games is in Sun and Moon. Someone gives you a alolan graveler that evolves right away to Golem.

[@Mr-Trox]

He gives you a different trade evolution in USUM I think. He also takes the piss out of fucking Mindy when you talk to him after trading if I'm not mistaken.

[@vishals.k2345]

theres an in game trade in gen 4 for a haunter that has an everstone on it. then the NPC laughs at you

[@TheLegendOfRune]

I hate that trainer so much. I was all excited to get a Gengar, only to discover that the thing had the everstone. That was a terrible trade.

[@thatdankguy5140]

Great video! Your content is really entertaining

[@supersuccle2128]

I think it would be interesting if you did a catch em all series a bit like what jrose started a year or two ago but never complete. like a series of catching them all in ultra sun and ultra moon every episode you catch as many Pokemon as you can before a trial and then over the course of the series you evolve all the Pokemon and by the time you finish the series you will have an almost complete living dex for ultra sun and ultra moon note (edit): don't do this like a professor oak challenge, do it like you're catching them all during your playthrough

I feel like that would be a fun challenge to do when Pokemon Sword and Shield comes out, thanks for the idea!

[@airtempest8945]

I’m guessing that part of what makes it so tedious is how incredibly broad the Safari Zone is, and how the items mechanic works. Since you get the National Dex before the 9th badge, you basically have to take at least a month in real time to get all the items you need to get the highest encounters like Bagon and Beldum (They all require around 120 value, which is about 24 items, which you can only obtain every 6 hours, so one of those alone takes 6 days). That’s mostly what would take long.

[@nick0888]

In blur japanese version, its an in game trade, u trade a machoke for a haunter and u will get gengar and another that u can trade a kadabra for a graveler u can get golem at the end.

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

I had a feeling there was one in the Japanese version, just wasn't sure about the English version. I remember these being programmed in the English version by accident, since there was a line in Cinnabar saying "The Raichu you traded me went and evolved!" and it should've been one of those trades.
