Pokemon Blue Kaizo | PART 5

Erika's Gym having a lot of water types kind of makes sense, actually. You need water to keep the plants healthy.

Wrap Dragonite isn’t an option, only wild Dragonite has it so that you can’t get it but enemy trainers can. You should also put that TM11 Bubblebeam you bought on Persian. It’s part of its competitive set to hit Rocks and for coverage. Edit: Rapidash gets Horn Drill at level 1 only, so that you can’t use it but trainers can, similar to Dragonite and Wrap

[@jakobjas4212]

Love this series. Brings back memories (both good and very bad) of my own play through this game. Couple of things that might come in handy in the future episodes (I wouldn't consider these spoilers, just quality of life things): • The path to the hut in Safari Zone takes exactly 499 steps at a minimum, so might be worth looking up a Blue Kaizo safari map online as it may take hours and hours of attempts doing it blind trying to do it inside 500 steps. • Rare candies are $1 each in the victory road mart. So you can build whole new lvl 100 teams for the elite 4 with no grinding. • Post-Golduck,if you're still looking for a good water amnesia user, Slowbro is your mon.

[@yaboityler2617]

Yeah safari zone was where I gave up and just used the gameshark "walk through walls" glitch for the rest of my playthrough

[@arekusu.]

_Exactly_ 499 steps?! That's gotta be the most sadistic thing I've ever heard, dear Lord

1:20:07 They'll probably disable the Game Boy Tower option. On the 3DS Virtual Console versions of Yellow and the Gen 2 games, they disabled the Print option in the Pokedex. So we can't even experience the Twitch Plays Pokemon meme out of 2016 by staring at the error message screen while the print music plays (for which TPP managed to give a completely different feel to).

2:16:52 "Tangela is the only Grass Type that's not Poison in Gen 1" You forgot Paras/Parasect, the only non-Poison Bug type which gets a Bug attack move.

[@jcohasset23]

And there are actually only 3 lines in Gen 1 that are Grass/Poison (bulbasaur, oddish, and bellsprout). The problem with Poison is there are 12 lines that have it, making Psychic or Ground extremely useful.

[@MikeHesk742]

Kaizo games have an interesting concept of "difficult": A trainer with 3 mons that all explode isnt ever going to beat you, but they are going to force you to go back to the Pokemon Center after every single fight. Putting caves or fences so you have to travel further to get in/out of town isnt challenging, it just makes everything take longer. If grind/repitition equals difficulty, why not just make every pokemon give you 1 exp only? Seems in keeping with the way pokemon kaizo games treat difficulty.

[@russianbot8576]

legit was wondering why all wild mons aren't just severely underleveled. it's quite generous if tedious is the game. a team of explosion users in gen 1 can wreak havoc on a team because of the way it works (defence is halved before the damage calc), especially a team of muks (who have a relatively high attack stat to use explosion well), and combined with the grass... in _theory_ but repels work on top slot regardless of fainted status or not so by the time you'd encounter them... but this is why rhydon has utility at all tbqh. later gens have a lot more mechanics and AI to work with but gen 1 is going to have to work with gimmicks. i think ultimately this does what it can, ie forcing people to carry cut on a main (which isn't actually an issue, as gen 1 has really restrictive learnsets so it is guaranteed you probably already have a dead slot somewhere on the team for it). by strong understanding of the gen 1 bugs you can pull some shenanigans, but it begs the question of making AI actually utilise the mechanics being broken (this is not possible manually) and finding the interplay of stat buffs that work for the AI while not benefiting players so much. i think pidgeot being as buffed as it is, is due solely to the belief most players will overlook it as usual, for instance. it seems difficult to make a gen 1 kaizo that doesn't make difficulty = annoyingly tedious.

[@pikminologueraisin2139]

because this kaizo game is like a toxic relationship: it is as generous as tedious, so everytime you wanna quit because you've gone through some bullshit it give you something to be glad about. This range from low-cost repels and not so bad lay-out to free candies and being able to catch a vast number of pokémon early on.

[@andyoats]

Yeah, it's because the original meaning of Kaizo has been lost to time and now just means "Let's make things as obnoxiously difficult as possible" in the minds of people who *don't know what the fuck they're doing.* Genuine thought and effort was put into this hack but it clearly isn't perfect, suffering from the same "annoying = hard" tripe other Kaizo's fall into.

[@grammysworld5449]

I think there's a misconception here.. The challenge is the lack of stat experience and limited movesets.. The map is just a troll with places that force you to keep going forward when you dont expect it along with "easy" paths that lead to traps.. Same with the exploding teams and random level 100 useless pokemon.. Even rom hacks in the early 2000s did this, the Drayno inspired ones just take the mapping a bit too far, but you're reaction to it is the desired one of the devs.. It's supposed to piss you off.. Taking away DVs and most badge boosting moves away from the player is a good idea, but the mapping is also a trend of that 2010s fad where every ROM hack had unnecessary jank everywhere.. Just my thoughts and words from others I remember when talking about this game a while back on forums

[@c.m.9369]

Hey there! In Gen1 the level doesn‘t matter for the success of 1-Hit-KO moves. But the speed does. If your pokemon are faster than the Opponent‘s, then one-hot-KOs cannot hit. Which is probably why your Rapidash never got hit.

[@kinnikuboneman]

I think level still does matter

[@andyoats]

[@ChimeraNZ]

It seems in most cases the AI using Super Potions actually makes it easier for the player. Cases where the enemy outspeeds, it essentially blocks it from ko and potentially getting a hit on the players next pokemon - instead it just wastes a turn to ultimately fainting.

[@jesright6126]

Regarding the Stadium games on an emulator: you can load your Gameboy pokemon games and saves with a virtual transfer pak if you have the right input plugin

[@TheMoogleKing93]

I had the mental image of water separating the Safari Zone and Fuschia Gym, so you had to go both ways.

[@yoseftreitman7226]

It's even worse. The gym and Pokémon center are atop a one-way ledge, and you can't get there without fly. So, you have to walk or bike from Lavender past all the bird trainers, through Fuschia, and *up* cycling road to get fly, fighting all the trainers along the way.

[@HellbladesFFXI]

I know it's strange, but Cloyster exploding is actually a thing in Gen 1 yeah. You don't really see it outside of Pokemon Stadium 1, where it was actually kinda common enough to be stupid. But yeah, it can learn the TM for Explosion so, it's legit in the moveset... So can Eggs, which I seem to almost remember happening in Stadium. I have a lot of memories of opponents having exploding things lol

[@thadjarvis9514]

[@AMH9000]

Yes, although I think it’s just for the E4 and champion

[@atraxian5881]

This hack looks more needlessly time consuming rather than difficult. May be at higher levels (where a few levels difference are way less noticeable) things will change.

[@DancingTherapist]

That makes me wonder, could you theoritically Metronome Mirror Move into another Metronome?

[@Katalowins]

And then theoretically your metronomed mirror move metronome chooses mirror move into another metronome which then uses flash which fails.

[@DDoubleOZ]

Metronome is NOT affected by Mirror Move.

[@overlordalfredo]

In vanilla gen 1 you cannot mirror metronome. If you mirror move after metronome it would mirror the move metronome spit out - not metronome itself

[@HaydnG266]

Could you metronome into Transform, then transform into the rival Pokémon for them to use Mirror Move and transform in to you? Or would they transform into themselves?

[@DDoubleOZ]

@@HaydnG266 It is possible and they would transform into themselves.

if you hold evolution of psyduck until 52 it will learn amnesia, watching the first video now, idk if that's still useful information

Why are you not getting nidoking? Celadon sells moonstones and you can give it dig and bubble beam. Also hyper beam in gen 1 has no recharge if it kills so could be something to add on your team for an extra move

How about this for a softlock? Red version. Beat the game up to celadon. Then beat all the trainers and lose all the money and items. But save one mandatory channeler in lavender tower. Then release everything except a lvl 100 chansey, Taurus or Snorlax with no ghost damaging moves. You might as well have a magikarp. But instead you have one of the best pokemon in the game, with no way of progressing or even trading it to a new game. Red version because no wild mewoth with payday.
