Pokemon Gold Save Corruption Speedrun - Live at AGDQ 2013 (With Yellow Speed Run Afterparty)

[@everdeft]

Here's a highlight: 1:53:00 >Accessing his Pokémon team screen will crash the game (so no healing and no swapping out Pokémon) >He has no badges (so his Pokémon's move choice is completely random, rather than based on trainer's input) >He must RNG the move Rollout in order to ensure at least some damage (until it misses) >His current and ergo last Pokémon he can use has 24/300 hp left. >He has to defeat the Champion, Lance.

[@joshuasprucie8933]

if you read the description he did beat the game. Not sure if he meant on that save or if he restarted the game

[@MrAllallalla]

I love that the thumbnail shows him resetting. That pretty much sums up the run.

[@SumeaBizarro]

"And that's my Croconaw trying to evolve into Geodude" -Checkmate atheists!

[@wabdih]

lmao

[@Mizatsuwu]

"Yeah, Rage is extremely good in this game." oh you little Werster boy, we know it is in every game you play :^)

[@Mister_BIack]

FUCKING RED COM!

[@starletprincecaydency5030]

I have to admit that this is my favorite run of his for Pokemon Gold. I admire how determined he was to beat it and how well he took it when he didn't really beat it. He got so far with it and kudos to him for that because this shit is intense to say the absolute least.

[@HumanReverend]

"the game is actually quite happy right now" *immediately makes the poisoned sound*

[@maxmustermann5590]

Yoo wasn't expecting you in the comments

[@maxmustermann5590]

I miss your ladder vids, any plan in resuming them? :)

[@sirzyr]

Werster looks like everything another person says pisses him off. LOL

[@twistingthefate4601]

He legit got pissed off at 32:13

[@justingibson1640]

you replied to him after 3 years? xd

[@joshuasprucie8933]

Woah use less salt on your chips bloody hell

[@FreeCpRareAccounts1]

hey big guy that conversation was 10 months ago, your comment was 2 weeks ago, me writing this stuff was like 10 seconds ago bro bro bro

[@ALICE333]

FreeCpRareAccounts1 for you

[@BigBahss]

Love coming back to this every couple years, this is the video that introduced me to speedrunning and I love it

[@Shogunelite]

That guy way in the back wearing the hoodie looks like he's waiting for his chance to pounce. Seriously does he ever leave his seat at any point during the video?

[@JaChinoLatino]

That Lance battle with a shitload of misses. Best start of a battle ever. Had to be the best run I've watched in AGDQ 2013 simply because of how trivial the run was.

[@sillyjobbernowl]

Man this seems so damn nostalgic now, what a good GDQ this was.

[@curtiscreeper5806]

1:10:36 save corruption works, werster finally gets corrupt clones

[@alyssapeanut1135]

thanks

[@CapybaraEnjoyer123]

FUCK THIS FUCKING GAME! -Werster 2013.

[@ThatKoolKidOverThere]

damn, the random encounters in this run were off the charts LOL I could tell Werster was ready to kill himself over them.

[@jpgp_7764]

"fuck this fucking game!" -Werster

[@Sonicrocks]

Fuck this fucking game!-Werster 2013

[@Karemaker]

I liked AGDQ more around this time than now... though it's still pretty good.

[@NN-ix9wf]

41% lol

[@ignacionadeo3521]

Countdown starts at 4:56. It's a sequence of three numbers that are directly successive. It's also a three second long countdown. Half Life 3 Confirmed.

[@TheThirdKiller]

Came for the glitches, stayed for the Sanae plushie

[@gunnermartineau5837]

This is actually really cool. Props to this guy.

[@xino121]

This was an excellent run Werster, thank you for your continued speedrunning dedication

[@RB26GRK]

The dude in the right spot on the sofa is blazed af lol

[@RockSensation119]

This was the best gdq, every run was so entertaining

[@Rizzy_K]

Can you stop

[@Twoand86]

[@ryangalata1452]

When he finally beat Garyados, they all screamed and I was falling asleep. I almost got a heart attack.

[@DuckGWR]

I haven't watched this video in years but it was this, especially the Yellow run at the end, which inspired me to both start running games and collect old video games, especially Pokemon

[@TheLambolover94]

dude... im crying right not... I MISS MY CHILDHOOD AND MY GOD DAMN POKEMON!!!!!!!

[@rainbowcoloredsoapdispenser]

59:34 is where the glitch attempts start. If anyone wants to skip past it, he's successful at 1:10:40.

[@ITGAlex]

"this isn't water, it's the town map!" Genius.

[@mcdonkey500]

when GDQs didn't suck ass

[@julian954]

Why do you think they're so bad nowadays? While there were a lot of boring runs in this year's SGDQ, and a lot of boring runners that share none of their knowledge about the game, there were a bunch of good ones, esp. the first four or so and the SMM race.

[@YaamFel]

They've become so boring and sanitised, you're not allowed to swear or anything because "Think of the children!" and that's just one example. This was from before gdq became a corporation

[@julian954]

RedstonerProductions eyyy a reply since I made this post a while back, I've not really changed my opinion, but realized why people liked the old GDQ's more. The Jak and Daxter's run from this SGDQ comes to mind. Perfect proof of your point is seen in Werster's banning from GDQs. I think he had some sort of beef with the staff, but he's definitely not the sort of "kid-friendly" type of guy you'd see nowadays running

[@YaamFel]

Firelord Arvis Bonesaw also got banned from submitting games fot like the next 2 years :(

[@julian954]

RedstonerProductions Whaaaaa Was it for the Jak run? That was awesome, and everyone knows it.

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

I can't help but think of all the things I would've done with this knowledge as a kid. I had a single Mew that I was always triple-checking carts for before wiping a save. I guess I can finally do a gen1&2 100% run without worry now, aside from those sketchy old cart batteries.

[@lilllwizzzle]

Good thing the batteries can be replaced ;)

[@thomasharrison2407]

the vibe that will never again be a vibe

[@Minsoo-Cha]

This guy is a god with speerunning Pokemon series.

[@Sad-Lesbian]

No kidding. He's insanely good!

[@normalguycap]

The outburst at 2:09:35 makes this. I love it.

[@JMotion]

Love how they cheer the swearing rage!

[@TheRaggetyDoctor]

Probably my favorite run from werster. :) And the yellow part was hilarious. Great job werster, if only i had money to donate to your awesomeness :C

[@Nabbottt]

2:28:50 the awkward moment when you accidentally speedrun Yellow

[@DieMilchgebendeKuh]

he also looks like a real pokemon trainer xD

[@PokerJoker811]

For some reason, that line: "Yooo, I got a Potion," gets me every time.

[@macgeek2004]

Remember kids! This is what happens when you get lazy with your pointers. ;~P

[@IronLoveOfficial]

Epic ending hahaha, fuk this fukin game!

[@SomethingRules]

Best part of the run is when Werster's naming the character "ysg", you can see Mike facepalming on the couch behind him.

[@SyuraStream]

Saw this on my feed, so I immediately watched from start to finish. I loved this run so much! Even if you couldn't beat it on the big stage, you still did an amazing job going through all of this and making it very entertaining for us! Also, I feel for you with Croconaw not obeying you. I did a solo run once with the traded Onix right at the beginning. Man, that was hell because he wouldn't obey me... But nowhere near the hell you went through with this! xD

[@LoxPlaysVidya]

some of those guys look like the classic 80's basement nerds

[@fullyautomato4062]

Kjeld Schoonheim why you mad

[@rufugus2684]

I mad because I bought chocolate pudding but I mean't to get butterscotch pudding. FUCK ME DEAD!!!!!

[@JustKeepFlying]

I love all the explanations for these glitches. 1 year working out the glitches for one game seems excessive but that's just me; I really enjoyed it.

[@Judangenbrangen]

run starts at 5:00

[@alfa4191]

wrong

[@Xzile40]

Thanks for uploading these... I didnt know about AGDQ until like 3 days ago and i guess i missed this years :'-(

[@mthammer9047]

1:28:00 The Gamecube Emu cannot grasp the concept of "more than 20 Pokemon"

[@dancorwin9232]

"I'm going to donate 20 dollars for my swear jar, because FUCK THIS GAME!" lol this guy is amazing

[@adripin13]

it would be fun if they ran some pokemon game and got a shiny

[@ainsbass]

+TheTiredSlakoth Link?

[@weebery1019]

but is cartdrige din't save RIO

[@Rocker21344]

They do. However they cannot do runs due to the shiny having an extremely long battle cry which literally ends up costing 3 seconds a battle. anywhere from 5-15 minutes in total based on rng

[@adripin13]

rip then

[@ericforsyth]

In a marathon setting, they could easily catch it, catch a regular one and stash away the shiny. The odds of getting one are too small, especially in a marathon.

[@Scarledx3]

its soo entertaining :D watched through the whole vid ! gj dude keep up

[@iiViridis]

a shark? VERY FITTING NAME.

[@KidWitCurlyHair]

the funny part is that totodile isnt even a shark

[@CaptainCarthex]

KidWitCurlyHair I know right! It's like an totodile, it's literal translation is "totally a crocodile!"

[@Narusasu98]

Great commentary, I enjoyed it very much!

[@galararticuno9419]

"I'm not black"- Werster 1:28

[@Patashu]

no, it's because they're traded pokemon. in pokemon games (at least the first two gens) traded pokemon are signified by having an id different from your trainer id, which means almost all glitchy pokemon are considered traded b/c the odds of getting your trainer id by chance are miniscule. traded pokemon disobey you (unless you have the badges to control them) but gain boosted exp

[@LostBear.]

8:30 Of course his favorite type is grass lmao

[@DuckDoolittle]

I wonder what the fastest time a tool assisted run could get with this glitch

[@akira6096]

lol, the genwunner's favorite type is steel? *facepalm

[@NotTheRealURL]

With that Glitch which got the pokémon to LVL100 would it not be quicker to capture a new pokémon after the glitch, then when in battle, change to it and kill the enemy, this would stop the huge long animation of them 1-by-1 leveling up 100 times and instead just instantly say they are level 100 right? that would save a good 6 minuets or something.

[@empire0]

"im gonna donate $20 to my swear jar....FUCK this game" haha, good stuff.

[@knightofcruxis]

This was as much entertaining as it was informative, loved it. Though my god you spent forever getting that Gold glitch.

[@1551-j6j]

I love what trihex is holding

[@DaVince21]

I can't believe how much bad luck Werster is getting at the start of this run... Makes it so much more exciting to watch.

[@RyanHDR]

ysg = Yellow Shirt Guy This was destiny.

[@MaddiBear97]

Is that Siglemic in the back with his hood and sunglasses on?

[@SayanKana12]

I want that sanae plushie that guy is holding

[@mazinombies4752]

That Lance fight near the end though xD

[@kookykutter69]

Would the game have crashed if he had tried to throw out something after Croconaw/Geodude/Whatever fainted towards the end there?

[@noahbodyknows]

Hard to say, the game still isn't perfectly broken.

[@remyjette9614]

Yes. After a pokemon faints it brings you to the team screen to select the next one. Because he had more than 6 pokemon, going to this screen would crash the game (which is also why he couldnt heal)

[@dibby456]

I find glitches like this absolutely fascinating. Besides, it doesn't really ruin the game, as it's just as much fun to play normally. But as a speedrun, I expect it to be insane and game-breaking. Good run!

[@theaestheticcactus7889]

we can't stop here this is zubat country

[@fullyautomato4062]

THE death he who makes a beast out of himself....

[@retrorewind6042]

Gets rid of the pain of being a man

[@josephstrings7413]

This may be the most entertaining speed run of all time

[@thecombinearecoming]

remember when ash caught a pumbloom? NO

[@BlurredShade]

the runner looks like harry potter xD btw, good job on the speed run. Awesome that you take the initative to make a donation for cancer research!

[@Twiggyay]

Those guys are nerds in the truest definition of the term. Those people who've played one Zelda game half way through and has a Zelda sleeve tattoo and proclaims himself as a "nerd" with pride are not.

[@NotableElectronicSounds]

No True Scotsman

[@eppinizer]

34:47 I did this glitch like 500 times as a kid, and this guys explanation still confused me.

[@randomness5435]

Run starts 5:00

[@DMCJackpot2]

These donations are such a great way to involve the community in helping out in addition to just donating for curing cancer (and by "these donations", I mean for various runs within the parameters of AGDQ/SGDQ/AwfulGDQ).

[@tha3immortals]

dafuq is that kid on the couch holding, a doll?

[@XaneMyers]

What is the doll he's holding? Is it a pokemon or an anime character?

[@michaelschalk4718]

***** I believe it's Hatsune Miku

[@jennypatino_moshishii]

Holding a Meloetta doll. It's a Pokémon.

[@michaelschalk4718]

jenny patino it is most defiantly not. Take a screenshot and zoom in. It is most defiantly not a Pokemon. And probably hatsune miku.

[@caspeRedits]

It's hatsune miku, I think someone pointed it out in the video too

[@darthlobster]

Haha, I was one of the donation comments read out during the level up to 100... Had totally forgotten I'd donated during this game! It really took me by surprise just now!

[@SimarutLapisatepun]

1:57:41 , 2:00:00　 *惜しい！！！ｗｗ* *Nearing cause to Faint!!! But you LOST.....*

[@MiddleOfTheOreo]

This, along with YSg laughing and Cosmo telling Mirrored, was the greatest AGDQ moment

[@TheDKblaze]

What if he just used Hyper thang then after used roll out he would have easily beat lance!

[@PutridXII]

well, as you saw it 80% the aerodactyl and the gyrados has slightly more hp than it so it wouldn't have OHKO it. Rollout was the only choice and then pray for rock throw/rollout to work a 6th time.

[@TheDKblaze]

but the hyper thang killed the gyrado in 1 shot

[@slamcham]

TheDKblaze hyper thong

[@PutridXII]

TheDKblaze crits op bro. Crits op.

[@megarock320]

Riven, The Exile Rollout only hits up to 5 times.

[@Tankotater]

30:38 foreshadows the entire speedrunning community just in the wrong order

[@Sensenskorpion]

I'd like the Sanae Kochiya plush.

[@null1023]

Even though the end of the Gold run was totally distressing, this was one of the coolest things I've seen. Also, it was really neat watching that famous TASing trick done in real-time on Pokemon Yellow, and seeing all sort of different things done with it. Lots of stuff I've never even heard of too, that map distortion glitch was way cool. The RNG was a bit of a dick during Gold though, yeeeesh. Murphy's law came into a play a bunch.

[@emberchord]

Sorry for pointing that out, but this guys mimic makes him seem super arrogant.

[@DaMn3d1F0olTVEnAbIaK]

I think throughout all of AGDQ 2013, nobody ever noticed Game Grumps refrences, ESPECIALLY through Silver Sonic '06.

[@manchesterisblue1023]

why can gdq donation readers never read properly??

[@omukssbm]

Read donations faster, fit more donations in. Quantity over quality. Would you rather your donation be read slightly wrong, or not be read at all?

[@darkaquatus]

Soooooo much respect for all those guys sitting still for all that time!

[@steet2]

YSG HYPE

[@Holyniwa]

Omg this is the greatest thing ever XD a shame i missed the livestream. Enjoyed it to hell and back!

[@drbowser166]

Water types all the way. Since gen 1.

[@Prometheusmfd]

Except for Gen 6. Chespin and it's evos are best.

[@kylenator16]

Prometheusmfd Opinion my friend as I find Greninja to be my favorite.

[@acrid8952]

Blaziken is Ubers tier, it's by far the best. Greninja and both forms of Mega Charizard come pretty close. Mega Swampert and Mega Venusaur come after that.

[@promqueenkiller]

@@acrid8952 🔥🔥🔥 fire is where it's at 😁

[@musicissoul64]

Damn that was intense! Good job you guys!

[@Tridd666]

Why does he seem so butt mad all the time

[@omukssbm]

I'd always be mad if one of my greatest hobbies was controlled by RNG over the span of years.

[@Bret3333]

Bayleef is the counter to Totodile and totodile doesn't learn Ice fang until like level 20, so razor leaf can easily fuck the run up especially if it crits. So basically it's really difficult because you're more reliant on RNG.

[@Zakuma101]

this donation reader is terrible.

[@Tmonkey64]

Zakuma101 so bad

[@azzarox6661]

Daaamn that was some bad luck right at the end of the Gold run, man. Still, pretty awesome corruption runs. Oak needs to go into rehab!

[@omukssbm]

Man that Lance battle absolutely hurts to watch

[@June28July]

This was great! Great job werster!

[@FizzyFlip]

Does anyone know where i can buy the posters they showed at the start of the video?

[@szpaky2764]

I remember being a little kid and playing my Pokemon Silver on my Gameboy.... I legit found a Lv. 1 sentret in the grass XD

[@Zhengergiser]

Woah, Werster went to Gosford High? That might explain the slight bogan in his streams.
