Pokemon Blue Kaizo | PART 1

In my head canon Oak caught a Mew transformed in a Bulbasaur and never bothered to check it really was a Bulbasaur.

Actually Leech seed is terrifyingly dangerous in Gen I in combination with Wrap considering every consecutive turn Wrap comes into effect, Leech seed will also apply, however this is even more broken in Combination with TOXIC of all things. Toxic keeps getting stronger, however due to Gen I's spaghetti coding, when you have Leech Seed + Toxic, both of them increase in power not just Toxic. Gen I Pokémon most definitely is a game to have ever been made.

[@isuckatgaming1873]

The toxic part usually doesn't matter though, if you switch out it turns into normal poison in gen 1 and I think gen 2 as well

[@Jimmeeehhh]

The game of all time.

Don’t forget fire spin as well. Leech seed + wrap + fire spin + toxic = no Pokémon play.

Oh, Blue Kaizo, have "Fun" with this! The entire premise of Kaizo Blue isn't just to make a difficult game, it's to remove player choice from the game. You have one path to walk, one viable moveset to use on each pokemon, and you MUST fight every trainer in the game, no option to avoid a fight. By giving all pokemon their best movesets it removes a lot of the opportunity you as a player have to fight against level disadvantage, which you WILL be at because enemy trainers are massively overleveled and even break level cap. They claimed this is "Nuzlocke-able" and while I don't doubt that's true because people are insane, it would take SO MUCH grinding it would cease to be fun. The most frustrating thing, though, is probably either the safari zone or cycling road. Safari Zone is a 498-step perfect path to get to the final NPC, allowing you literally ONE tile of wrong movement. And cycling road you need to constantly navigate a cut-tree maze while going UPHILL with jump cliffs right behind you that send you straight back to the start. I played through this entire thing, enjoyed some of it, but after finishing it I rescinded any recommendation for others to play it. Here's to seeing how your experience goes!

[@phyllotaxis]

It honestly got a lot more fun for me once I stopped thinking of these games as a harder difficulty, and more like a (very very obnoxious) puzzle game.

[@myanimeroom9350]

I like how Pikasprey is spiking up the narrative in a sarcastic manner.

[@scragar]

Stat EXP which is the gen 1 equiv to EVs is actually incredibly simple. Every time you KO a pokemon you gain stat EXP for each stat equal to the matching base stat of the pokemon you KOd divided by the number of participants(similar to normal EXP). The square root of the stat exp is then divided by 4 and added to your stats, max 63 points(because the max value is 1 less than 256² when you square root and round down it winds up being 255/4 which when rounded down is 63). Vitamins give 2560 stat EXP for the matching stat, but can't raise it above 25600, which is surprisingly close to maxed out anyway because of the square root(√25600 = 160, 160/4 = 40, 40/63 is pretty good all things considered). Also since there's no overall stat exp cap like there is witn EVs there's no reason to ever avoid stat EXP(with EVs you sometimes want to avoid it because the max EV is 512 but it takes 252 to max the EV for a stat, meaning you can only ever max two stats and any EVs in stats you don't want are EVsyou can't get where you need it).

Also, if you want, you could find a way to hack some rare candies into the game to prevent the hours and hours of grinding but just high enough to reach the next gym leaders highest level mon, but that's up to you and your comfort/what you find fun. Just a suggestion because I've seen some other people who attempted Blue Kaizo just do that to skip the tedious grinding phase, especially later on in the game.

[@watsonwrote]

The point of Kaizos is that they are tedious, grindy, and a test of endurance. The rare candies would remove a lot of the emotional stress that the game is designed to invoke. That doesn't mean people making vids shouldn't use it, but at that point they may want to consider why they're doing the challenge and if they have alternative challenges that aren't supposed to be so tedious.

[@RaphielShiraha64]

I played a Yellow Kaizo game once. I hated it. It's not because of the battles being challenging, but because of the maps. The way everything is laid out is ugly, only to make going anywhere and doing anything tediously long. But intentionally making things tedious does not equate to good gameplay or good game design. I think the new Crystal Kaizo had a good formula. The maps are ugly, but with the rare candy and heal bags, it's less about obnoxious back tracking and grinding and more about difficult battles under a hardcore nuzlock ruleset.

[@David-ln8qh]

Never noticed how much gen 1 Squirtle looks like Krillin.

[@wherethetatosat]

I suppose stat boosting moves were also removed so that the AI wouldn't accidentally give you the badge boost glitch...and prevent you from doing it intentionally yourself.

[@Zorgdub]

I checked, and Kaizo Blue actually went and removed Leech Seed from the game. Also, since he seemed to look forward to Amnesia: Psyduck gets it (at level 52) but Golduck doesn't. So don't evolve it too soon! Only other pokemon that gets it is Slowbro/poke which is in Cerulean cave.

the mew was L3 because it had the same exp as the L5 starter but a slower experience curve (needs more total exp to be L5)

[@Jimmeeehhh]

Makes sense.

[@jordanthejq12]

Uh, Mew is in the same experience group--Medium Slow--as the starters. Unless BK played with the experience groups, which is possible. More likely is that the developers intentionally underleveled the Mew to make the game at least technically playable.

[@Alienldr]

Effort Values in gens 1 and 2 are similar. Except the amount it goes up by is the base stat numbers of the pokemon you just fought. So all stats go up a little each fight. The max was some really high number, and all stats can be maxed. So you don't need to choose which 2 stats you want maxed. Essentially, because it's based on the opposing pokemon's base stats, a pokemon with high speed or special like Abra means your EV's for your speed and special will max out first. It's kind of like the newer games where high defense pokemon will help build your defense, but the other stats also raise too in these gens, just at a slower rate

I've never personally played Blue Kaizo, but I beat Crystal Kaizo to Red, and you can definitely expect some over-level 100 mons, mewtwos, and/or both. Honestly though, there's ways to make it fun, like using less conventional picks that are often buffed in hacks like these. For instance, magcargo isn't usually that good, but SinisterHoodedFigure (hacker man) made it and other mons solid members of the team. TL;DR yeah it's gonna suck, but that doesn't mean it's unfun. Just never nuzlocke it. Ever.

[@ChillDragon]

"Get angry at the video game." I think by the halfway point, you'll be suffering. Also a huge tip coming from someone who played this, exploiting the Badge Boost glitch is insanely good. Since the boosts stack when the stats re-calculate, you end up getting another 12.5% on top of your existing 12.5%. Just use stat increasing moves like Swords Dance or Amnesia and it should go well.

[@riccardomosena4162]

[@UltimaNumber255]

I'd like to share out some tips when playing Blue Kaizo, from one who has played this a bunch and actually speedran the game, and since it's very likely I can't catch your streams. - Try not to use the starters, they get like NO good moves. Starters you catch as evolved forms only get good moves due to them having them lower leveled then they evolve. For a Grass Type for instance, I recommend Bellsprout or especially Oddish. - A lot of Pokemon and moves have been changed, usually buffed. Usually in the AI's favor but there's a handful of moves that go from garbage to an absolute monster to deal with, such as Razor Wind or Petal Dance. Some Pokemon's evolutions have been changed, like Pidgeot is now gotten at Level 20! But Gyarados is now gotten at Level 25... Generally, try to see what the AI use, and analyze how much of a monster they are to see if you want to use it yourself, if the Pokemon is available to you, that is... - Don't expect to get a Psychic Type of your own, basically at all. In fact, don't expect to get anything considered OU stables. You can still get only a few Pokemon that are OU, usually of types that don't deal with a lot, but remember that some Pokemon are now buffed, so now said OU mons are even less prominent due to a somewhat better balance, but also rigged against you... Even having OU Pokemon of your own, they take a long time or even never to get good moves! - There's NO Stat Experience in this hack. Zero. Not even from Vitamins (I don't think you can even use them anyway). Your only stat booster really is Badge Boost, so you at least still have somewhat a stat advantage over the AI. And that's all I really have to say. Gold Luck with this game! I personally think this is the most fun of SinisterHoodedFigure's Kaizo hacks, but that's mainly because this is Gen 1. He has gotten a lot better when making say, Emerald Kaizo, and Platinum Kaizo is on its way, and I look forward to his creativity for Sinnoh!

The thing is RBY don't allow custom movesets like later gens for trainers, the moveset of pokemons in RBY is always decided by the moves the pokemon can use, is why in vanilla you have stuff like arcanine using ember at blaine gym, i saw a lot of RBY romhacks (both normal ones, and the ones that try to be harder) and a lot of them suffer with trainers having poor movesets, while kaizo blue may be a bad kaizo hack, it's the best difficulty hack by far for RBY, the creator of this hack also didn't knew how to change a lot of the actual coding of the game, so some bugs from the original game like the badge boost glitch still end up existing is also why the ai is not really better at all in fact the creator stated the reason every pokemon in this hack lost leer and growl is because they would be useless moves for the ai, all of those limitations and issues of the game itself make it much harder to balance it proper, and at the end of the day this IS a kaizo hack, it's not supposed to just be a bit harder than the vanilla game it's straight up supposed to be super hard, i do agree though that grinding and map design is annoying but something worth remembering is that since in RBY the trainers don't have custom movesets, this mean that if you fight a gym leader in this hack that have a annoying moveset with a specific pokemon then you can 100% catch the pokemon and have the same moveset, this force you to learn the game based on what the trainers use and is kinda neat.

Oh man, good luck with this game. It's fun but in a masochistic kind of way.

[@Thesmokingauditor]

You make It look too easy!

[@Jogeta]

I started an Emerald Kaizo let's play a few days ago. Do you have any idea why waaaay less people come around when I do it? :(

[@KhanMann66]

Probably because there are already tons of video on EM Kaizo. If you’re not nuzlocking it no one is coming.

[@Jogeta]

@@KhanMann66 thank you for the response! You are probably right :3

[@Ser_Lefty]

Also probably because Asprey has a pretty big and dedicated viewer base on his main channel. Like big enough to get 120k subscribers on a stream vod channel.
