How to Ruin Wild Magikarp Battles in Pokemon Gen 1

I think it would take way longer if Mewtwo had attacking moves. Then you would have to fish a new Magikarp for every single PP point.

[@grantbaugh2773]

Now I'm wondering if there's a way to set up Mewtwo's stats so that you have to attack twice or more to knock the magikarp out

EDIT: I don't think any of the pokemon in the pokemon mansion can learn fly or surf, so my thought here is a sadistic "part 2" to this video's setup would likely be limited to leaving a single pokeball in the PC, expecting the player to fish off the coast to catch a magikarp, then evolving into gyarados to teach it surf.

[@Pryide]

Give the mewtwos attacking moves (confusion, swift, mega punch and takedown), so instead of quickly running out of PP, every hit will KO the magicarp, forcing you to catch even more of them. Yes even though the total PP of those moves is less than what you had, re-fishing each time should more than make up for it. :p

[@Lotus_RT]

Right idea, but you should switch Takedown instead for a move like BubbleBeam, which doesn't have recoil. Take Down's recoil is only 1/4, but with only attacking moves it can still add up to save a bit of time.

I think it would take longer if you used six paralyzed level 100 max HP Chansey with max PP Pound, Water Gun, Mega Punch, and Skull Bash. More HP to burn through, every non-Struggle move also ends the battle and forces you to get into another battle to continue burning PP, and Skull Bash takes two turns to execute rather than one per use.

I'd be interested in how factors like cry length could be utilized. If you replaced Mewtwo with Jynx, for example, would the extra time elapsed at the start of each battle be enough to compensate for Mewtwo's larger HP stat?

The reason the Pokemon have that "!" text is likely the same reason unreachable NPCs in gen 2 say "Object event": they are events, not tiles, and thus (at least in the first two generations) need SOME kind of text assigned to them, maybe by design limitations, maybe to prevent crashes. Given that the first two gens were written in Assembly, and this isn't the case anymore in gen 3, I assume it's an engine problem.

[@VinsCool]

That is correct, it's just the placeholder/fallback dialog from the undefined pointer, most likely a 0 if I am not mistaken

[@VinsCool]

As far as I know, all NPCs and Pokémon sprites on the overworld can be interacted, so if no dialog/event is defined, it would simply load the first entry that is found, which in this case would also happen to be a failsafe, since it would normally never be encountered.

[@VinsCool]

That would explain why corrupted NPC interactions would then pop up valid dialog boxes from random places, the placeholder dialog(s) or garbage data, which then has a very likely chance of crashing the game since the text data may not encounter a proper text terminator or do all sort of broken bankswitching or jumps using garbage data as pointers...

[@VinsCool]

Basically this is all avoided if the placeholder data is loaded, assuming the dialog trigger is using the same default placeholder data, haha

A Chansey with Pound/Seismic Toss/Water Gun/Bubblebeam will take way longer. It’s a total of 160 PP and you KO the magikarp every turn, meaning you need to fish a new one 160 times, then it’ll take even longer to struggle yourself to death since Chansey has much higher HP than mewtwo

[@icecreamget]

fun fact: the chansey side/back sprites are completely unused unless you glitch yourself into the zoo to talk to one.

[@nickolasname5960]

[@dreeg1896]

Having the Mewtwo at Lv 99 would add minutes to this. The HP difference would be negligible, but there’s an extra text box for EVERY magikarp you defeat.

[@BigCJ]

One nefarious twist could be to make this an actual softlock, only discoverable after fainting all of the Mewtwos. Set the last used Pokemon Center to the one on Cinnabar Island. Make sure you didn't get HM03, trade over a pokemon that knows Surf, then release it just before trapping yourself.

[@Nonononoki]

Would also be funny to do it in Cinnabar Island. The first instinct is to go to the Pokemon Center, but then you wouldn't be able to escape the island, making the save file useless. Can also use frozen Mewtwos.

[@darkfiredragon3410]

6 frozen pokemon on Cinnabar would be a true softlock, because in gen 1 you don't randomly thaw out. Since these videos are more about very time consuming escapes than actual softlocks, you'd have to leave a Scientist in the Pokémon Mansion undefeated so that the player could still black out.

[@lyonnaismatt]

Great video, but three HUGE oversights. First off, you don't need to limit yourself to non-attacking moves. Go ham! Mewtwo should have: Water Gun (40 PP) Bubblebeam (32 PP) Swift (32 PP) Pay Day (32 PP) All four of these attacks will kill a Magikarp, leading to the player needing to fish again every time. This should significantly prolong the game. (The NVE text after Water Gun and Bubblebeam and the "picked up 200 bucks" text from Pay Day are the cherries on top!) Second off, use traded pokemon so they can potentially waste time by disobeying! But the biggest mistake you made is using Mewtwo in the first place. Using six Chanseys would be significantly better. First, Chansey gets access to Pound (56 PP!), in addition to Water Gun, Bubblebeam, and (idk) Rage (32 PP). But second off, it has significantly more HP, so it'll take longer to lose with Struggle. I guarantee you'll fly past 4 hours with this... indeed I imagine that you would get to five hours!

[@chrismorris6865]

Your dedication to this insanity is commendable. Well done!

[@scragar]

Based on the figures shown in the video: Total PP/Mewtwo = 32+24+32+32 = 120 Total battles with struggle per Mewtwo = ceiling(415/8)=52 So per Mewtwo you need to fight 52 battles and use 172 attacks. I can't imagine at a best case this takes less than about 10 seconds per battle just for using the old rod, cry, picking an attack, then fainting animation, and about 3 seconds per attack with animations turned off, so at minimum that's 520+516 seconds, or about 17 minutes. So my guess as to an absolute lower bound with perfect luck and menuing is about 2 hours. For a realistic scenario it's likely to be about 50% higher, so 3 hours or so.

[@SIDEWAYS255]

So the dream setup here, I think, would be six traded Mewtwo with the moves Bubble Beam, Water Gun, Pay Day, and Swift, all with maxed PP. The first two are great because they have a base 25 and 20 PP and are both water moves, which means there will be an extra message of "It's not very effective" slowing down the fight while still KOing the Magikarp to require a new battle to start. They are both also 100%* accurate.(*Gen 1, lol) Similarly, Pay Day is also 100%* accurate, and adds a message to the fight about picking up the money, and has 20 PP. And finally, Swift. Swift has 20 PP, and bypasses accuracy checks, meaning no chance of missing* at all, even in gen 1. (Ghosts, lol) Rage would be fun, but has the chance to miss in Gen 1. Skull Bash would also be silly, needing a turn to set up for each use, but has only 15PP. I also considered Teleport, but it has a chance to fail while Swift will always hit. So Psywave also wouldn't be great because it has a 80%* accuracy, 15 PP, and might not kill the Magikarp. We want to force the player to fish as much as possible. These paralyzed loafing Mewtwo would need to kill about 136 Magikarp EACH before they can start to struggle. This should take easily four to five times longer than the time in the video. Potentially up to 20 hours. (More than four times the number of Magikarp to KO, with extra frames in those fights, and the chance to be paralyzed or loaf around. Does a pokemon have the chance to be loafing when struggling?) EDIT: And I just remembered that Mewtwo knows Confusion... So that changes some things since 25PP is better. I think this replaces Bubble Beam. So Confusion, Water Gun, Pay Day and Swift? Pay Day or Bubble Beam? I think Pay Day is the funnier of the two since Bubble Beam's "not very effective" gimmick is already represented in Water Gun, but the real question is which takes up more time, "Not Very Effective" or picking up the money. What is CERTAINLY more effective is the extra PP with Confusion, and the accuracy bypass with Swift. Even one missed move is one less Magikarp which is a huge amount of time. EDIT EDIT: I also considered Gen 2, and what moves Mewtwo could pick up there, but the only unique moves from the TMs in Gen 2 have less PP.

[@rdvanguard1014]

Aside from using something with more HP or giving Mewtwo attack moves, taking some items in your inventory so you have to scroll for the old rod every time you use it could also make this even more hellish.

Great video! These types of setups always remind me of a situation I got myself into when I was playing Alpha Sapphire a while back. I was just running running around in my game trying to get to a certain area when I accidentally encountered a trainer that I had I skipped earlier. I hadn’t had time to heal my Pokémon, so most of them got knocked out. But the thing is I also had a level 6 or 7 Victini that I think I got from an event / wondertrade or something. It had a ridiculous amount of health and defense, but also could barely do anything to the other pokemon (who also had a lot of health) because of its low level. Me and this trainer were stuck there dealing 1 HP of damage to each other each turn lmao. I don’t think I had any items to heal my other pokemon either. I was so conflicted on wether to power through it or just turn my game off, because it had been a while since I had last saved. I think I decided to keep going a little longer, especially when I remembered that struggle exists. I was the one who lost if I remember right, but I was so thankful anyway lol.

[@MrUtuberGuy]

Just making my prediction here: Using some rough workings and assumptions, mewtwo has 415 hp. It's losing 6 hp per struggle ko so needs about 69 Struggle hits to die Adding its paralysis increases the number of turns required by 25% to 86 turns. It has roughly 120 pp to burn so needs about 150 turns with paralysis. Total turns to deplete and struggle to death per mewtwo: 236 turns For 6 mewtwos: 1416 turns Assuming about 10 seconds per turn, he would need 14160 seconds or about 3 hours and 56 minutes to get through it all

Idea for a softlock to poke at: trapping the player on Cinnabar island, but with some masochistic way to escape.

If people are curious the easiest way to walk through walls(without using more complex glitches anyways) is a glitch called "brock through walls" involving the training that forces you to beat brock to pass. If you have a bulbasaur with leech seed, tackle with 16pp and growl with 36pp in that order(you have to rearange with select), talking to that npc from the right will let you walk through walls. (Having different pp values crash the game usually) Skipping him involves having your pause cursor on save, walking in front of him and pausing right away when he stops talking, and then you save and reset. I thinks that's right, it's been a bit since I've done it. It's a simple trick to do, but it works for pretty complicated reasons.

This reminds me of a task I needed to complete at a previous job on a horribly designed electronic medical record. Someone had accidentally put around 150 files on to the wrong patient. Only system administrators could delete files, so I was tasked with doing it. The folks who designed this system didn't want a disgruntled employee to be able to just mass delete records, so they only let you do one at a time. The process was to right-click the record (wait for 10 seconds for it to load the menu), select "delete" (wait for 20 seconds to load the next page), type in the reason for delete and hit "OK" (wait 10 seconds for the confirmation to pop up), and then click "OK" again (wait 30 seconds to load the page again). It gets worse. There were 15 items per page. When we "delete" we're actually just hiding them. As a system admin, I could still see them with a red X, but a doctor, nurse, etc. wouldn't be able to see it. So once I got through 15 items, I go to page 2. Repeat the process above and...it resets to page 1. Then I click "Next Page" to go to Page 2, and wait 10 seconds for Page 2 to load. It gets worse. When I got to Page 3, I noticed the only navigation buttons I had were Next Page and Previous Page. There was no option to jump to page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. (Keep this number in mind for later on). So when I get to Page 3, after each individual document I removed, I had to click Next Page to go to page 2 (wait for 10 seconds) and then Next Page again to go to page 3 (wait for 10 more seconds). And so on until I was waiting over a minute just for each page to load by page 7. It gets worse. if you did the math, you'll know that 7 * 15 = 105, and I mentioned 150 files needed to be deleted. That's because they only show the most recent 100 files. I had to go to their help desk to figure out how to create a view so I could see further back. I created the view, scrolled all the way down, and deleted the 101st file. It gets worse. When the page reloaded, I was sent back to Page 1 in the default view. I had to recreate the view. There was no option to "Save View" or "Load View". Each time I did this, I had to re-create the view for the next 50 items. If the system was designed to be user friendly, I could have completed this task in a few minutes. Check 150 boxes, "Delete All", state the reason, confirm, and done. It took me 6 hours. And they wonder how employees become disgruntled...

Pretty minimal, but just a little more insult to injury by making you look at that stupid fish just a little bit longer :)

[@leekavanagh8811]

Make them level 99 needing about 100 xp to level up just to force every one of them to level up during the fights also.

[@marcostumpe3601]

Wouldnt it take much longer to give Mewto high pp attacking move? Since after every use you have to fish for another Magikarp.

[@Dajo42]

the most important pokemon content to drop today

[@biscuitygudness]

YES!!!! a new pikasprey video is always such a treat!!! YEEEEEEES

[@saschabecker3531]

What would absolutely take the cake is if you could somehow engineer this, so that after you faint and end up back at a pokemon center, you find yourself locked at cinnabar island

[@johnathanflannagan2407]

I was playing HGSS the other day and got locked into Morty’s Gengar with a weak Miltank. The Gengar eventually struggled to death; Normal/Milk Drink OP

[@iMac9991]

was literally checking last night to see if you uploaded anything new 😂

[@lamergamer8211]

Seeing as how many suggestions are made I think you could make follow up with how long the improved set up would take.

[@molamaple]

Earlier I was just thinking I wanted to binge these videos!! Thanks for another excellent and hellish trap

[@grayfoxrising]

I love these so much. I wonder if there is another series that this type of evil setup could be implemented in

[@jrbehr4643]

Oh bro, I was just binging stuff on this channel yesterday. Good timing

[@redgerran]

If I had a gameboy cartridge with this saved file, I'd go through this whole ordeal just so I could have 6 level 100 Mewtwos.

[@draqueus]

Imagine getting out of the cage just to be brought to a pokemon center that still locks you out from completing the game

[@AndresLionheart]

Should have given the Mewtwo weak attacking moves with high PP like Water Gun and Confusion, that way the player would have to fish a Magikarp after every single move. There are also a few status moves like Mist and Barrier which can go up to 48 PP, but I think having all 4 slots occupied with attacking moves with the highest possible PP would be better (Except Submission, obviously).

[@frostytheicemage7943]

With a moveset of confusion, swift, water gun, and rage, paralyzed and traded, you could make this last a lot longer

[@SethValence]

You could be even more devious and make it so the last Pokecenter you stayed at was Cinnabar Island. So even after all the struggle you were still stuck. A truly crushing defeat..

[@Dr.Livingdark]

“You realize what you must do” Pikasprey is just becoming the Pokémon equivalent of Jigsaw at this point.

[@nicks4802]

At any given moment, When all else is going on in the world, This guy is playing a gen 1 pokemon game for the 700th time

[@99sonder]

"Today I'm once again going to take a Pokemon game and turn it into a miserable experience." Alright, mission complete already. Let's pack it up and go home

[@SaskiaSketches]

Any day Pikasprey uploads is a good day! Had a tough time today so this really is awesome, thank you so much for the video

[@lionofash7700]

By the way, due to Gen 1 and 2 mechanics, the Magikarps actually have a chance to be shiny if they get a certain DV/IV valueeeeee so you might unknowingly be murdering tons of shiny magikarp.

[@mrnoneofurbusiness7942]

wild pokemon cant get the right combination of ivs to be shiny when traded i think. only npc trades and legendary pkmn

[@lionofash7700]

@@mrnoneofurbusiness7942 Technically true, wild encounters cannot be shiny, but fishing is treated separately from the wild encounters on land and sea. So the pokemon specifically by fishing can be shiny.

[@kiahnte]

I'm only halfway through, and I already think this is a new level of masochism for you.

[@Tracequaza]

I love that in these videos you fantasize about giving them to someone else to overcome yet you're probably the only person on this planet who ever do them. Also "walking through walls is something you can only really do in this generation". Would be interested to see you do something similar in gen 4 using the void glitch/tweaking, though I wouldn't know of a spot like this

[@shrimpbisque]

I always thought of the exclamation mark dialogue as the Pokémon being surprised that you ended up in their enclosure.

[@-Nayomie-]

You are working so hard to commit such a huge magikarp genocide into this tiny pond yet it seems big enough to fit them all

[@TheChadPad]

Gives a whole new meaning to Struggle

[@Rumple88.]

Love your gen 1 vids the most, keep up the good work mate ;)

[@suzikumieda2452]

"Several things in the original Pokemon games do not work as they should" is such a massive understatement that it's hilarious.

[@greilthelegendaryhero252]

What if you did this exact thing but with 2 changes. 1 Chansy cause doesn't she have higher hp? 2 all offensive moves. What's stopping you from using all your pp on a single Magikarp? This way it's a lot more of a grind to be able to use struggle. Edit. Reading another comment 1 more change. Have them be traded from a different game without the last badge. Means they have a chance to disobey

[@Finnyan]

Actually, the spot you mentioned that was inescapable is actually escapable too, however, the methods are quite rough too! I believe you can do save corruption by saving and resetting mid-save to have a party of over 6 Pokemon, which you can then use to access quite a variety of glitches! It is quite game breaking though, and your Pokemon would be lost, but hey, at least you wouldn't be stuck forever!
