Is it Possible to beat Pokemon Red/Blue with Just an Abra AND NO ITEMS?!

One of the most difficult challenges yet. Can we beat the game with a Pokemon that NEVER learns a single attacking move from levelling up? Will we even get by Brock?

I think rival 6 uses potions because of WHERE he is. Because his location is near the beginning of the game, the game gives him items appropriate to that location as opposed to his level or your progress.

[@djdechiara9111]

That's actually an interesting idea

[@shadowmoasic3524]

But then if that's the case for that rival battle, why does the elite 4 use super potions instead of hyper potions and full restores? I know Lance uses Hyper potions but nobody else in the elite 4 does it's all super potions

[@javrami4883]

Gen 1 really is held together by paper clips and elmers glue lmao

[@exantiuse497]

@Jack Wells Tht isn't a glitch, though, just an oversight. The fight was designed by one of the developers, giving him normal potions was a conscious decision, so it's a flaw in game design, not programming

[@michael_betts]

If I remember correctly, they just copy-pasted an earlier rival AI, changed the pokes, but forgot to change the items. So he uses the items determined for an earlier battle, at the same place as that earlier battle.

+[Miguel Flagstaff] Honestly, comments like yours are what makes me wish at times we lived under a totalitarian regime which aggressively censors any unwanted speech. You see, you are *actively endangering the LIVES of PEOPLE I LOVE* by spreading these lies to people as idiotic as you who might be living nearby loved ones I have in the United States, and maybe even to loved ones closer to my home in Europe as well. You are also *endangering the lives* of every single person who has loved ones who are near people who might take your comments to heart. Which would be..... any person who has loved ones in nations which aren't heavily information-controlled. Like I said, a Totalitarian State is beginning to sound *_real_* good right now..... The "horrific tyranny" you speak of is a complete myth, on account of you still being able to post that comment. But, really, at this time said tyranny would save more lives than it would take. So while logically and rationally I would (of course) agree that such it would indeed be horrific, at least in the long term, in the short term such tyranny *feels* mightily attractive.

[@DancingTherapist]

I'm gonna be the 'hum, actually" guy! In Gen 1, it actually was possible for an attack to be rounded down to 0 if you deal damage with an attack that deals so little damage the game reduces it to 0. The game notes it as a 'miss', and so it might just look like you get the 256 glitch over and over. The easiest way that i know how to see it is to get a low level Nidoran or Weedle with Poison Sting and try to hit Geodude with a few Defense Curls on it.

From the start I've believed that this is the hardest possible run ("possible" being the key word, as I straight-up don't think Weedle can beat Agatha even at level 100 with full PP Ups because Poison Sting is so bad that you'd run out of PP before getting through the battle and Struggle can't hit three of her mons).

Very entertaining series, for someone who grew up with these games. Thought: Does the penultimate rival perhaps still use potions because he is triggered in the same spot as rival 1.5? Did the game maybe forget to level up his potions alongside his party? This is all very educational from a coding perspective as well, so thank you for that.

Any Idiot With A Webcam probably lmao

He's just using the same ai as his earlier fights, which don't use super or hyper potions

Mm I love strugle, really nice warm desert after something like a soup my dad used to make :3

I'm really looking forward to see the bug types. They're my favorites, but also so ridiculously terrible in gen 1. Venonat should be interesting, it at least has a usable movepool.

[@sebastianaliandkulche]

Pinsir is also usable just it requires tms

[@rufus8588]

17 hours is just bananas! Really impressive you went all the way through it, nice job man!

[@gregorygejoff1628]
