Pokémon: Red, Blue, Yellow, Red (JP), Green, & Blue (JP) Versions Retrospective | Humble Beginnings

[@colincraigo5793]

I always let Bill go inside the machine after telling him that I would help him and then just leave. Never failed to be funny.

[@SenorPuffball]

Also love how the game loops back to the beginning with the Pokémon league being right next to viridian city. Another great bit of design on their part to mark the player’s growth. Just a shame they forgot that when they made ever grande city

[@M3rtyville]

The way the Fisherman hold the rod in their hand made me think even to this day that he is holding a saw for some reason

[@mackal]

I had Blue Version, so I went with Squirtle, I have defined my life by that simple fact.

[@sunderlandspook1875]

Mate. I know what it's like to constantly criticise yourself and your videos. But I ain't talking shit. I have just finished your G/S/C video and it was fantastic. Try to cut yourself a break because if you keep making quality content like this, even if you think it's crap, you will grow and garner an audience. I can't wait for more from you and now, I am gonna keep watching this video haha

[@ntmaproductions]

I appreciate it! FRLG should be out this weekend or early next weekk if I get lazy :)

[@mynameisNeo369]

Can't wait for the algorithm to boost this video, it deserves it!! Loved your GSC and HGSS videos, this one really hits home. I was 5 when Red and Blue hit the states. Thanks sir, your hard work and dedication is appreciated 💜

[@ntmaproductions]

I appreciate it and I'm always glad to see people qho stuck around despite the variety. FRLG shouldn't be too far off (I said that for this one too, but fingers crossed) and LGPE is coming abour smoothly too :)

[@mynameisNeo369]

@@ntmaproductions can't wait, I think they're really gonna resonate with the poke-community. Love longform retrospectives like this, have a wonderful day!!

[@SebiBubble]

Well, guess why I'm here

[@mikonosci]

Congratulations on the new video! Your variety and consistency of content is admirable. Hope to see you cover the rest of generations too. Keep up the good work!

[@ntmaproductions]

it means a lot thank you!

[@wallyallen7169]

After the glorious behemoths that were your Johto vids, I'm looking forward to this one. Really hoping you end up doing the other games!

[@ntmaproductions]

FRLG and LGPE are in the works, but I'll need a break after that

[@Avanitix]

Somehow this series of videos simultaneously makes me feel old as hell, and also like a kid again lol. Thanks for the great videos

[@ntmaproductions]

Pokémon does that to people lol

[@aster4jaden]

Pokemon Red was my first Game, I remember the only way I could finish it was using the Missingno Cheat. Out of all 3 Pokemon Yellow was my favourite, I loved how it followed the Anime in it's own way and being able to get all 3 Starters. I remember the first time I played it didn't understand the friendship system with Pikachu and didn't get Bulbasaur until near the end of the game, so I restarted it and just over leveled Pikachu to defeat Brock and eventually getting Bulbasaur before challenging Misty, then putting Pikachu in the Box and constantly losing to Misty to level up Bulbasaur getting him to level 27 (I think) to learn Razor Leaf. I was such a good time!

[@PrimordialChaos1]

1999 was a good year

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

1:00:55 they went from the hideout to silph, the Pokémon tower plan was a separate part of Rocket Giovanni had there, they were keeping people away so they could catch ghost Pokémon and Cubone to sell for a high profit and use to boost their power

[@ntmaproductions]

@@gabrieldevoogel6225 Right, that makes sense with the game corner being a rocket front

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

@ the best part is that logically shows why Giovanni goes to the gym last, he’s near the center of kanto, goes to the actual center while the rest of his forces are a short few miles or less to the east in lavender, so not going west to his gym unless it’s for a big reason like a last ditch hiding attempt makes sense

[@jenisia3600]

"Anyway Geodude's ass" lmao

[@pchurch692]

Great video! Thanks for the content, always enjoyable to watch.

[@jumper9108]

Thank you so much for this video !!

[@Gwilherm]

Great video! I love that one and the johto videos! I love your works, I keep them as references for my playthroughs!

[@blackattack1840]

this series is like comfort food for my lonely ears

[@ntmaproductions]

ORAS soon :)

[@Goatman31]

Love all the effort put into this series just binged them all. Happily earned a sub and looking forward to diving into the rest of your videos

[@ntmaproductions]

Thanks goatman hope you're goatin well

[@jacob_swaggerz]

Am I the only person who appreciates the genius of this retrospective?

[@seannolan015]

Banger of a vid keep it up man :)

[@goldbolt8879]

I just stumbled upon your Pokemon videos and they're so in depth and very well done. You deserve a lot more subscribers for your work. Well done dude.

[@lsixty30]

this series needs more attention , just watched the gen 3 video and it was so well done

[@ntmaproductions]

@@lsixty30 Thank you :D

[@LITTLE1994]

The games that started it all.

[@jacob_swaggerz]

Love you guys. This review is amazing. Love you and your drunk reviews

[@ntmaproductions]

thanks homie

[@M3rtyville]

It is finally here, after 10000 years ;-;

[@HippieMafia813]

My Pokemon Yellow cartridge battery just died last week. I'm pretty heartbroken about it because i got it from my cousin and it's always been one of my most prized possessions. Gotta get some tools to open this thing up so I can try and fix it

[@CarlYoungII]

1:24:31 😂😂😂 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@ntmaproductions]

😭 brutal rendering error

[@pullingonthestrings]

Ah yes, ArticUNO, the SECOND of the legendary birds.

[@ntmaproductions]

MOltres Zapdos ARTicuno you're right- he's the third piece of the puzzle in deciphering the mozart conspiracy

[@SenorPuffball]

Feel like because of what the series became following these games (a giant multimedia machine) people don’t give red and blue the credit they deserve for being straight up JRPGS that were very ahead of their time. It’s mechanics were simple enough and intuitive for even kids to understand, it has a ton of party customization and options obviously, and most impressively to me the world is so open and interconnected. It’s quite streamlined in a lot of ways as well; random encounters are very easy to circumvent, free and easy healing in every town, can save anywhere on the map etc. For how much the lack of QOL makes returning to these games today rough, back when they came out they were actually less frustrating than a lot of its contemporaries. Even a lot of the flaws and “quirks” people today point out about the games can be attributed to them just following JRPG design and are wholly intentional, not some oversight. It’s not so weird onix has lower attack than of oddish when he’s supposed to just be the scary first boss that marks your growth when you encounter him later and he’s weak as shit. Dragonites line being the only dragon types raises eyebrows today but it’s supposed to be the penultimate challenge that shits on your starter, not be apart of a “balanced” type roster. Anyway another banger video man 👍

[@ntmaproductions]

@@SenorPuffball Yeah it's definitely at or above the level of many RPGs of the era, especially given it was on the Gameboy, which hadn't even had a proper FF or DQ game. The scope alone makes it impressive, even more so that it's so intentionally made to be accessible to non-RPG fan audiences. It's an exceedingly well planned and thought out game if one held together by twigs and bubble gum

[@Nagatem]

Nidoran getting double kick also can run through brock, also fury attack on it is great starting off Though this only works for Yellow

[@ka7583]

Did you item glitch rare candies to get your gyarados to lvl 100, then not save and use it normally the rest of the game?

[@ntmaproductions]

In Red I got Zapdos/Articuno/Moltres way after everything else.😅 Gyarados got a lot of exp for being my primary catcher and getting accidental kills and I had to do the E4 a few times for the sake of getting balls. No hacking here, just a veey overworked sky snake 😅

[@M3rtyville]

I miss the Pokemon images when talking about the Pokemon.

[@ntmaproductions]

Editing and uploading this on hot spot because of some bad arrangements made downloading 150 images a uh, infeasibility unfortunately.

[@M3rtyville]

@@ntmaproductions understandable. It is still a good video.

[@benjamincho4819]

Uhhh isn't the order RGBY... Wait a second...RGB...Y RGB... Wtffffff When I look at my Android why does it remind me of my Gameboy... Wtfffffff

[@BasedGodEmperorTrump]

In Fire red and Leaf green, Charmander gets Metal Claw at level 13 to combat against Brock...

[@ntmaproductions]

@@BasedGodEmperorTrump he sure does, I talk about that in my FRLG video ;) also notably Geodude and Onix are so physically defensive that you still usually do more damage with Ember, unless you get a lucky attack boost off of MC

[@TastySnax12]

What happened at 1:24:30?

[@ntmaproductions]

a very strange rendering error. it wasn't an intentional joke or anything. sometimes if my cpu usage spikes there things happen

[@TastySnax12]

I see, I just assumed your roommate played a trick on ya or something

[@ntmaproductions]

@@TastySnax12 nah i probably opened chrome to do something and chrome ate up my cpu for 5 seconds lmao

[@sheismymom]

I love Magnemite too and Magneton

[@GrantTheHierophant]

Heck yeah

[@PrimordialChaos1]

Non fire attack that can burn? Like what?

[@ntmaproductions]

@@PrimordialChaos1 There isn't one, it was more a hupothetical for the explanation lol

Why th do these videos only have a few hundred views

[@ntmaproductions]

Hopefully that will change soon! Thanks for the support!

I am doing my part!

[@feartheoldblood7222]

Talking about Hypno- "Doesnt learn T bolt like every other psychic." Uhhhh what? Only Mr. Mime, Starmie, and Mewtwo can learn T bolt... so... (Mew also but unless you glitch you dont get them)

[@ntmaproductions]

I was being a bit exaggerative, but what I meant was the Hypno largely lacks the tremendous coverage of its Psychic peers

[@sheismymom]

I like Pokemon
