Actually it's the opposite. New games are like fabric, snip a thread and they fall apart. Classic Pokémon though was SO restricted in what you could fit into one little cartridge with the processing power of a gameboy a majority of their development went into compressing and optimizing the game. That's why you will almost NEVER see bugs in casual play, the only bugs you'll find have to be done intentionally and completely shatter the game. They aren't coded like fabric, they're coded like stone.

Kinda makes me wonder how this speed run was created

[@needabettername1559]

once you understand the fundamentals of the gameboy, anything is possible

[@Sykale]

The thing about the Gameboy is that it's really weak, probably much weaker than you realize. Because of this, developing actually good games for the Gameboy was hard (not that it's not hard otherwise but yeah), and the devs need to make a lot of optimizations to make the game work. Some of these optimizations are perfectly harmless, but some aren't. One thing for example is in order to conserve memory if a value is small enough you can usually store another value in the same space, and you can use the same spot for different values in some places in the game. That means that if you know where things are stored (which with decompilers and emulators that show how the memory is allocated) you can manipulate certain places in memory to have values they don't normally have, and cause unintended behaviour in the game. Obviously I don't know what exactly was used in this run, as I didn't dig into it, but I can assume some of these and other things like RNG manipulation (that happens because the Gameboy isn't really random but gets values from the console's time variable, which starts when you boot the console. If you boot a console and do the exact same things, you will get the same results. I know Speezy explains but it is related here soo) and other stuff I don't know about have occurred. It's incredible.

Imagine waking up one day to get a rare fire breathing lizard, ditching it for the first grumpy bird you see, finding an electrical mouse in front of a grumpy bugcatcher, blacking out and waking up in a Pokemon hospital (assumably brought back by the grumpy bugcatcher), then after beating 3 trainer battles that guy that just handed you a rare animal a few minutes ago says you're inducted into the Hall of Fame. I'd think I was stuck in a weird coma and hadn't woke up yet.

[@UltraPoyoColt]

I love pokemon. It’s one of my favorite games of all time. Thanks for speed running it! Can’t wait to see you do more in the future!

[@NightOfCrystals]

Man this makes the missingno rare candy glitches seem like chump change. Absolutely wild. Agree with everyone saying “how did people figure it all out?”

[@kristeenlivesay2664]

Professor Oak is really scary strong in the Pokémon adventures manga. He also completely traumatized Green during the league tournament. I mean the guy brings a team of all bird Pokémon to use against a girl who was carried off into the woods by a huge bird Pokémon.

I love how you chose charmander just bcuz it was closest to you xD The only reason to choose charmander.

[@rainpooper7088]

Funnily enough, Charmander actually does better at RB solo runs than Squirtle with Bulbasaur being the best. But I guess you can at least use Squirtle for Surf.

[@SylviaRustyFae]

Not sure how i never knew of your channel before but I'm subscribed now which is pretty cool to me

[@MarcoFD]

the only thing i found out as a kid about this form of manipulation is that if you name your trainer Red in pokemon red, you will find mewtwos on the coastline you go to when doing the missingno glitch

[@juxyper]

it's quite interesting how hitmonlee appears in the title screen as if you've received a reward for inputting a secret code or something, but it's just a glitch lol

[@CynamminStyx]

All I want to know is how the hell was any of this discovered

[@Mewkityy]

Probably someone into tech looking into the game's code

[@mauer1]

@@Mewkityy yesnt it got broken down ingame first, but for the real hard crack stuff actually looking into the memory was neccessary (like this run)

Imagine saying "I got super unlucky that I got 1hp left and win the battle." in an *pokemon game*

[@Pandacalifornia]

People want it so much, they literally made an item for that.

[@thepigeon5849]

Seeing the absurd amount of effort that needs to go into being able to pull off these game-breaking glitches, I can understand why the devs never patched it out.

[@Diandredofus]

"patched it" lmfao

This is what I love about speedruns. The fact that they figured this out at all is both insane and hilarious.

[@sm0ke961]

I remember when i was really young and my mom gave me her old game boy to play this with. The first time i ever beat it was with a level 100 golduck from the missingno glitch.

[@chriser5146]

wasnt there a way to memory manipulate your way throught the inventory and set a map youre getting ported to which can be the hall of fame?

[@sgtmaggi]

Considering how broken the game is, you honestly could've explained the category in the beginning haha I will also die on the hill that the timer should start with the first inputs but that's not up to me :) Nice video. I love these showcase style speedruns

[@ithalathegayguy]

Yeah, that makes sense to me. I mean, if what you're inputting directly effects how the run will go, then it doesn't make sense for it to not be part of the timer

[@karlwiggett435]

People commenting about how short this is and how long it took you to beat the game - peeople like EazySpeezy have probably racked up more time in-game in these games than all of us 'casual gamers' combined. It takes them countless hours to perfect this craft. Kudos bro

thx for playing this game it is an absolute masterpiece.

at the risk of sounding like a bot (which, if you look at my profile picture and know about Autonauts, I kinda am), I'd like to say thank you for uploading today. I have a stomachache which didn't get better when I threw up, but I feel happier being able to watch fresh, new content from you

[@hamsterking1355]

Lmao a bot showed you what a real bot looks like

[@MaulerMyers]

This is not about playing the game. It is about finishing the game through whatever means possible. People going "this game took me years..." etc.... miss the point entirely.

[@ootfan7882]

I got the point. Most of it is lowkey self-deprecation. XD

[@anedboiboi]

Wait, why did it say "Pokémon Trainers are honored for their exploits here?" at 8:00? Is it because the glitch was recognised by Nintendo? If so, why did'nt they remove it?

[@ootfan7882]

Exploits can mean feats in general.

[@lxReo89xl]

I don't even understand how this is possible or how people find this kind of stuff out but love watching it

[@NotFamousReal]

This is pretty insane. I always felt like pressing odd buttons and directions through out those games had some strange effects.

[@joemck85]

The yolo ball thing reminds me of holding A+up or B+down when throwing a ball. Allegedly it guarantees capture, and all the times it doesn't work are because you didn't time it right. It's all BS though, and the tricks here only work because it's coming off a fresh reboot which resets the RNG and then you do button presses that aren't too hard to reproduce perfectly, getting the RNG to spit out the numbers you want -- Spearow on this tile, and then a successful full-health capture. Holding buttons randomly like A+up when tossing the ball might affect the RNG, but you'll never know the difference unless you use savestates and change what you press and when. So for normal gameplay it's like blowing on the dice and giving them a couple extra shakes before rolling them.

[@Ardi_0]

So much nostalgia for those games, but man that music really gets to you and pains your head
