Pokémon Red race in

[@SkulShurtugalTCG]

Kudos to that commentator for being able to explain everything clearly and still focus on all four screens at once.

[@netforce0]

he's really good, he needs to announce more often

[@comfyasf]

I was bummed when shen wasn't in the race but commentator suits him better for this run

[@TheSteve1126]

Patrick Lydon I love having someone like him who can explain while the others can just focus

[@dopeintellect1]

Deadass

[@nathanikeda4184]

That’s cuz he’s shenanigans he lives and breaths Pokémon

[@miguelkh950]

Near the end of race: Alright well time to focus on Exarion finish the race. *Gunner with the Oddish fighting Venusaur* This is much more interesting.

[@Waas]

13:05 countdown.

[@Ferro_Giconi]

Thanks for the time of the countdown instead of the time of start, I like that a little better :)

Thank you kindly.

Gracias amigo

[@tomasjmr]

shennaningans is such a good speaker

[@TallulahBangkok]

This game is held together by paperclips, string, and hope. Even in a glitchless category, it's a mess.

[@TheBrothergreen]

And yet, it's by far the most interesting

[@BigKlingy]

"He can figure out from his HP whether his Speed DV is even or odd, and he can find out from that whether he's faster than Starmie." This is why speedrunners are awesome.

[@tifforo1]

In Gen I and II, the game only stored four DVs, so instead of storing a DV for HP, it calculated the DV for HP based on which other IVs were even or odd. What's truly impressive is not the ability to look up that information on a wiki, but being able to use it to make determinations on the fly while also playing the game nearly flawlessly.

[@BigKlingy]

I remember watching a Gen 2 speedrun at one point where the runner, having hit an extra trainer, started doing "on the fly money routing" at the Goldenrod Department Store, completley recalculating what he needed to buy and working in a few extra items to save time later... all while still flawlessly speedrunning.

[@FangirlKatydid]

BigKlingy that sounds heckin’ rad

[@pentragos4849]

G O D D I S H

[@monkeylemur]

That was Nuptup, Absorber of Souls, Transcender of Dimensions

[@Whistrash]

+monkeylemur Destroyer of Worlds. Guardian of the Fifth Dimension.

[@MetalWolf9215]

That oddish is the true mvp

[@JEST3R_]

all hail the based Oddish

[@Nick46289]

That Oddish vs Bulbasaur fight was the best thing about the race.

[@Filsantos86]

Venusaur*

[@kalas9000]

That was probably the most hype thing I've ever seen. Lol

[@FaceTheWindYasuo]

min?

[@Kuebel350]

+FaceTheWind 1:58:01 upper left screen

[@SoManyBonesOhGod]

That's how you beat a Venusuar. Except... Maybe with a level 100 Nidoking and level 100 Mew that both were glitches in?

[@TheWildArcanine7217]

Run starts at 13:09

[@MrMakkymakk]

you are doing god's work.

[@graog123]

Thanks

[@panpolypuff]

1:00:00 - Neat optical illusion on the right side!

[@BacunNG]

we all saw it keizaron. M E M E

[@KnuxMaster368]

Keizaron is a meme among men

[@sdewey4152]

Good to see some Espeon fans :) little pink powerhouse, or green if your mine!

[@void3383]

Shiny espeon is fugly💩

[@OneTrueBelmont]

"What if we press each other's controller?" "That would be adorable." XD

[@01JiGGs]

Mhmm~

[@initialintent]

I know i'm 4 years late, but the commentary on this run is great! Really appreciated the dude in the middle explaining all sorts of things throughout the run.

[@wattamugen4055]

Gunner didn't choose the helix, so he didn't get his paras. PRAISE THE HELIX

[@wattamugen4055]

+Mr. Realist so funny, thanks for the highly entertaining comment :)

[@niklasfelder28]

+Watta Mugen PRAISE DOME AND DOWN WITH HELIX!

[@tenebrasolanum4215]

I got the skull fossil recently in pokemon diamond, does that count?

[@wattamugen4055]

NIklas Felder D: heresy

[@DawwyDev]

LORD HELIX SAVE US> PRAISE BE TO HELIX!

[@MegaDaveo1]

Appreciate the interview with Mr. Llama, but I think it should be bundled in with the D2 run video.

[@waluigiscapelli6098]

At first I was dissapointed Shenanigans wasn't running this time... then I heard his soothing voice and knew everything was right in the world.

[@DerToSt]

#GODDISH

[@elsujetoese2377]

It had its chance and it ruined it!

[@pinkpanthr_3498]

It sucked that Shen didn't play in the events, but at least he was there. Besides that he was the best at explaining the dips and tricks to the run. Keizaron (As usual) always putting humor into everything that he does and that is what makes him enjoyable. Praise Helix.

[@corruptdropbear]

[@umbaupause]

There we go.

[@kaybrann]

Mitchel Huffa I was 1:04:00 onto the run before I realised this. Although I don't normally watch pokemon runs

[@TheDandyCarrot]

Next AGDQ we need an odish only run incentive

[@Orillion123456]

In the end, friendship won. What a wonderful race.

[@kuni2330]

I like how this run was uploaded at the exact time I was looking for it.

[@ryanchen6474]

40:22 "You do not want to deal with Oddish" Little did he know...

[@julianha5473]

I would love to see more than 2 Pokemon runs at GDQ events... maybe an 8-hour Pokemon-block including all generations from 1 through 7?

[@Jaymic]

Unfortunately I think most of the games past 3rd gen aren't super interesting to watch because the lack of glitches, so pokemon blocks would probably take a ton of time after gen 1 and 2.

[@AmaranthRBY]

Unfortunately Pokémon is definitely not a marathon safe game and there are many games where it's really hard to come up with a marathon safe route. Some games are also not really actively ran (thinking gen 5), but I agree in general that if Mega Man can have hours and hours every marathon then Pokémon deserves at least 3-4 hours in total.

[@flowerditch]

there are actually quite a few cool glitches in the gen 4 games which get used in speedruns, including an OOB in diamond and pearl that skips from just after the 2nd badge to the hall of fame. also, just because they don't have glitches doesn't make them bad speed games, this run was glitchless and still very entertaining to watch

[@BigKlingy]

The later generation games average at about 3 to 3 and a half hours for a glitchless speedrun, so doing multiple back-to-back would take the better part of a day. A shame, because the later gen speedruns are pretty interesting to watch.

[@pickymike]

wats ur favorite post 3rd gen speed run and if possiable post the time and the runner

[@psychoticax645]

This is so out of sync its almost disorientating.

[@AsahiStuff]

I love how they all got first at one point in the race! Rare in a 4 players race! Excellent job everyone! :D

[@DVal-bl7hm]

Tricky's color palette was crazy, especially when he was in Rock Tunnel.

[@trulynotChinmay]

Wait shennanigans didn't do anything this gdq? ☹️

[@holly_hacker]

it seems :(

[@larz1519]

he didn't play but he was in one he was in the pokemon blue block

[@simonbelgers94]

Start @15:50

[@niminikune]

thx bro

[@pred_OM]

Not at all : it's 13:05

[@famyos2745]

48:25 is 9-11 a thing??

[@Ometecuhtli]

Probably a date

[@j_channels296]

Let it be know that on this race Lord Helix bestowed his almighty powers upon Gunner and thus the demi-god Goddish was born.

[@leehackett1614]

Why is the game play so far ahead of commentary?

[@jameslon9477]

Every once in a while i came back on these speedruns of pokemon by gdq just to feel happy

[@scorpiontubegaming5779]

48:52 Keizaron's team spelled Meme. ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!!!!

[@zingbanana]

i thought the guy in the black shirt had won the race, and then i saw he was the "3rd" place. they need to fix how they arrange players in the seats and the order of the screen, because they don't make any sense at all if you don't know the runners before hand.

[@GuitarHeroRocks99]

Shenanigans is the best possible commentator for something like this

[@katherinewhitfield2780]

Why are the screens all different colors? Is it just to help differentiate the separate player's screen?

[@Pyca96]

Personal decision of the runners! Round about 1:10:00 you can see that it helps with the rock cave, but overall it's just personal preference. :D

[@TheCh33ks]

I just noticed Keizaron's team spells MEME.

[@annoynymouse1146]

OMFG! that ODDISH is a HERO! What a wonderful race! How did i miss this live? ... really...

[@ceruleanvoice3538]

Blue has 4 Pokémon in Cerulean City. And Tricky crit them all. God damn.

[@stephenh9483]

Gunner: "I'm packing a much more versatile team at this point" LOL. His Level 13 Oddish CRUSHED a Level 53 Venusaur. I would call that versatility. WHat a kick arse team

[@yhyperlover]

omg that trance out screen is freaking me out mate lol

[@superlarryman]

Gotta love that original Lavender Town theme.

[@ajit5478]

Gunner pls... I was cheering the entire run and you forget the key.. AGAIN T__T

[@birlenpena2697]

hi hello all great speedrun

[@T0XIN21]

i wish Werster was there to comment as well .

[@OB-806]

Why do AGDQ/SGDQ always choose to have announcers with annoying ass voices?

[@bubblegumkk8158]

To make you mad, specifically.

[@OB-806]

That's definitely a possibility.

[@ImperatorZed]

Why does KZbin always allow the most annoying people to comment?

[@OB-806]

ImperatorZed Everyone can comment, I wasn't specifically chosen. Unlike the announcer whose nasally shitty voice makes my ears bleed. Bring back SpikeVegeta.

[@niklasfelder28]

+Josh O'Brien and you have a better voice?

[@Jecl99]

Runner second to the right has a Seth Rollins shirt, which is amazing.

[@Jagrofes]

2:03:00 for those looking for the legendary “Max ether: CUT”.

[@pyrosianheir]

People didn't know about the Flute being usable in battle?... What kinda freak kid was I? Edit - 1:58:03 Oh my god.... I did the same thing as a kid. XD I was a youngling who didn't get that you had to train everything, so I just had a piddly little bellsprout as my last pokemon facing off against the rival in Silph Co and HOO. It took a while, but I was so proud that it wasn't a loss. Not actually sure how I had enough potions to hold up through Struggling, but I did.

[@Isabelleadshead6917]

normally glitchless is a really boring run to watch because it's like a planned let's play but this run was very fun to watch thanks to all the runners and commentary so credit to them

[@NotYourEveryDayNoobs]

keizarons first four pokemon (nidoking, squirtle, spearow and paras) spell meme in the pokemon menu

[@HiImCamden]

Keizaron, my boy in the Crossfit Jesus shirt. Commenting at the beginning hoping he wins.

[@WolverineAndSloth]

Keizaron missing 3 of the first like 6 tackles of the run is so on-brand for his GDQ experience :'D

[@patrickjaroch5084]

LLAma sporting the chain mail Like a Proper gamer nerd. Love it Dude. youmake me proud to be a gamer geek

[@adripin13]

13:09

[@bowhunter928]

llama is the GOAT D2 player

[@ComradeQuagsire]

I love hearing the runners do all their pokemath on the fly.

[@Nice_Things]

Pokemon and Dark souls runs are easily my fav things to watch at GDQ's. Which is sad because there's so few of them

[@S-Kevin]

MrLlama still wearing his chainmail lol. Great idea doing race instead solo run.

[@SB-SB]

Golbat always throws me off on these games. Craziest looking pokemon ever

[@MalikEmmanuel]

I never understood why they don’t just read donations between runs and let the couch explain the game during runs

[@CAM3RoN11]

People donate to have their message read out on stream. If it was between runs the viewer count would be lower and there would be no reaction or claps from the audience so fewer people would donate.

[@MalikEmmanuel]

@@duncanedgin9433 they could explain the game and the game and it’s mechanics as if we don’t know the game. Many people don’t. It’s okay, I don’t support anymore because I don’t enjoy it.

[@dry5778]

I started learning Pokémon red a few days ago. So far I had only one fight where bulbasaur didn’t at least try to growl

[@Christophee1987]

These pre-manip runs make much more interesting races as RNG is a much bigger factor.

[@lumirina]

One day Oddish can one-hit KO Arceus #goddish

[@tuvillo]

"Glitchless" is a bit of a lenient naming convention here

[@swaggleboon]

If you've seen a glitched run, you'd understand.

[@tuvillo]

Well that's why I call it lenient. It sort of conforms to what other games call these types of runs, even though it clearly abuses some unintended glitches. (That can be avoided)

[@truefregn]

21:39 It's not at all unlikely to have to face a pokemon, going by what he said. The chance is 1-(31/32)^28=0.59. So it's a slightly bigger chance to meet a pokemon than not.

[@Srelio66]

1:46:27 He's doing Erika first with the PP Up and he has all the moves.

[@linkinitup69420]

"This fight is about PP management" I would have died lol

[@tazter]

why are the colors so different on each screen? great race though

[@Cardzworld712]

Probably to distinguish each player's run, so no confusion is involved.

[@MrFoxbane]

Starting up a gameboy color (not sure about gameboy player) if you hold a combination of d-pad and a/b you get a different color palate playing a GB game.

[@tazter]

+Phil Deka ah alright

[@phrozen4299]

at 1:10:00 ish you can see why

[@GamiCross]

1:11:35 "The cheater palate"

[@liofan11-i2s]

after they learned fly it all went to shit and was hard to follow then I got really bored 😢

[@adripin13]

i just noticed those two perlers at the begining, what characters are those?

[@TheDandyCarrot]

so anyone know why in surges gym the door guys sprite moves when checking for a switch?

[@GreasyPhil420]

It took me ages to complete Pokemon red when I 8 this is a little painful lol.

[@Syuriix]

Inverted-pallet Gastly is pretty Ghastly

[@dacr0n229]

PRAISE HELIX

[@swaggleboon]

I love Keizaron just sitting there and waiting

[@JRTIntervencion]

Pokémon is always such a good speedrun

[@KNJfan]

Some people are just born lucky as EXARIONU :p

[@pchurch692]

Go watch some of his highlights on Twitch if you think he's lucky Kappa

[@PixxelTrixx]

that was really fun that double finish at the end was great to lol

[@Bakalar]

race starts at 13:08 video has been spliced.

[@monotone9408]

maybe they explained this in the video, but why are the game screens all different colors?

[@KnuxMaster368]

DV’s for their Nidorans in hex: (n) = HP DV ExtraTricky: (5)8DA7 Gunner: (F)97B1 Exarion: (8)5484 Keizaron: (0)68E4

[@pkrent3461]

I love that chain mail.

[@andyoats]

Hey, who is that between Klonoa and Megaman at the start there? Also, that donation from TheBakaBrigade201 at the very end was just golden. I'd type out a Cirno_Tv emote, but it's KZbin, so...

[@Temojikato]

ive played pokemon a shitton but how do they see all those stats in 2 frames o.o

[@lostneppy]

doing a speed run start and use only squirtle and get a farfetched to use cut and fly, at the indigo plateau they are at level 52 with blastoise he was level 70! with body slam, hydro pump, ice beam, and earthquake

[@EatingHawaiianP1zza]

WE HAVE TO BEAT FISTY

[@chucko302]

1:30:32 wow keiz

[@alectucker7815]

I mean, he SHOULD HAVE gone for lord helix, but the rest of the race was more fun because he didn't #badrng

[@Queenperky]

is 9/11 a thing?

[@josephherrada9112]

no

[@misao_pavel]

This is a story about by ex Arion who was extra tricky with her big ass gun where she'll always be screaming "where are my house Keiz! Aron

[@threex1]

So keizaron ran into a spearow before the nidoran on route 22 wouldnt it be faster to cat h your spearow then vs later route when given the option?

[@jordanhoadley7243]

"anything can happen when they get to mt. moon" no... either they get swarmed by zubats or they dont... this is in any pokemon cave in the history of pokemon caves

[@fgcnomad5135]

Shenanigans is my boy his glitch showcase was super entertaining .if I didn't know better I'd say he works in commentary as a side hustle

[@Tefl0nc0ugar]

How do you learn how to speed run like this or rba or gotta catch em all I really want to learn

[@Tefl0nc0ugar]

And how do you play them on tvs?

[@AmaranthRBY]

Playing on TVs requires consoles (I think most runners use a GameCube). As for learning, there are tutorials scattered here and there on the pokemonspeedruns wiki, this is the one for the race you just watched: wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php/Pokémon_Red/Blue/Any%25_Glitchless/NidokingRouteExarion

[@coryak98]

+Tefl0nc0ugar You can play them through the SNES with the Super Game Boy or you can play it on GameCube with wires that connect from the controller ports to a GameBoy Advanced.

[@Shadow_Robot]

so the sound comes from whoever is in the lead?

[@NXeta]

can someone answer this, I'd like to know too. is it random or is it the lead

[@J1mb0Y88]

Yep :) I noticed the music change when Tricky took the lead after skipping water gun, then when he failed the Misty fight and Gunner took the lead, it changed to Gunner :)

[@aaronfisher9879]

+NX berry don't think so, exarion has the sound for me at the moment and gunner is way ahead

[@aaronfisher9879]

+NX berry at 19:00 about by the way

[@roblaquiere8220]

Look carefully at the runner's names... there is a musical note besides the runner's name whom is actively providing sound. It changes with the source. Also, can't really say who is in the lead at any given moment as some of these runners are using a slightly different route.

[@stingrl8731]

bulbasaur is better than squirtle against brock
