When the weird kid who always wants to smell you later, beats the game before you, even if you set a new world record.

[@TheTeeheed]

ive never speedran before, and watching you, without any manips, just allowed me to do this in 3:30. my goal was under 4, Congratulations and thank you!

[@yuriabcdms]

I struggled so much to beat Brock in this game as a kid, lmao. I used to catch a Caterpie and turn it into Butterfree to beat him

[@calebjohnson9740]

I died a little inside when he boxed the Pikachu

[@user-lh5dc5cy1b]

I'm kinda a pikachu hater, but even I feel a bit hurt from it

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Ah Pokémon Yellow, one of the few Game Boy games to have voice samples in it. It’s nice to hear “Pika” instead of simple 8-bit sounds in an 8-bit game

[@Nipsy06]

OMG The Nostalgia is real! I remember playing this in middle school. We would trade pokemon and battle with the Link cables! Man thoes were the days! 💯

[@hissaigokagemusha3086]

in less than 2 hours i didn't even reach pewter gymn! Damn! congrats for your WR

[@codyeble6764]

Ya id still be fighting bug catchers in the forest while he's at the elite four lol

[@TheHeartlessAlchemist]

Nicely done, man. Congratulations on the wr! Very entertaining to watch.

[@merakibeats]

For a few months i love watching speedruns haha. The tactics, all little but important choices, really fun to watch. But I saw a battle or tournament between you and Gunner on KZbin. Games done quick or something? Is this ever going to happen again?

[@Isaacnewtron]

No matter how much you try to get to the league the fastest, your rival will always be there first

[@progeordie5113]

I have watched this 2-3 times and still think its crazy as the swing from so far behind to WR pace is insane. Just makes me think imagine if that early game was slightly faster :o

[@ArunKrishnan0709]

Congrats Pokeguy

[@alansmithee419]

48:10 Oh that's how that room works! I was confused because when I went in I just hit the two in the top right corner and it instantly let me through. I was like "wait was that a puzzle? Did I break it?"

[@armorykittington]

Wait you figured out a manipulation here? Because people have been searching for literal years and it can make or break a run.

[@ChineseMustangs]

i'm pretty sure they just got lucky on their playthrough

[@natalievlogsnatalievlogs1362]

This is gonna be a great watch

[@RuyLopezTheSicilian]

I never got to play Pokemon as a kid, so as a noob who can't even beat Brock in 2 hours, this is awesome

[@Kevintendo]

I always go for butterfree confusion but definitely gonna incorporate Nidoran now lol it’s annoying getting megapod to evolve

[@kunaguero8432]

​@@Kevintendo@ruylopezthesicilian I was 5 years old beating the game lmao

[@Kevintendo]

⁠@@kunaguero8432nice. I think I was 5 as well

Good work!

[@MishaHN]

this gliches can use in the versión of virtual console 3ds ?

[@RylandFogle]

How do you show your controller inputs? That is so cool

[@malpuro]

Woah, didn't know they had a Pokemon Purple! 😂

[@Saddler46]

Congratulation for this Amazing World Record ! 😸🐙🦑👻🙈

[@briangervais5962]

Did you use Rock Slide?

[@ThaddaeusFinn]

Congrats on the 1:49!

[@mister-8658]

Congratulations

[@lolwhat19]

So what created the difference here? Was it perfect execution or just some new strat to improve time?

[@edoardo7570]

You are n1 bro. Congratulations!!!!!!!!🎉

[@landenpatterson1318]

Why does Blaine's sprite look like Danny Devito?

[@spider2MW]

GG!

[@Nightingale1337]

Is it possible to approach this kind of time without fucking with the rng/save resets?

[@MassiveKittenFire-vw1cw]

Are you doing RNG manipulation with those saves? Edit: Holy cow, the MT. Moon section is nuts. Are you pressing A to make it work like that or is it just the way you walk? Man, I'm gonna grab some repels... for that section, I can't even begin to understand this sorcery right now.

[@g7297]

13:45 "why does this run suck"

[@user-vm8xo4in6h]

Howd you get charmander in your party at the SS?

[@mestrealvarensis]

a npc gives you Charmander

How did you teleport with charmander?!?!? I'm rewatching but can't figure it out?

He used dig.

Bro you topped out at 171 bpm

[@lucasfrs]

No fucking way!!! Gzzzzzzz!!!!

[@lucasfrs]

I'm also out of weed

[@cnedden]

2 questions regarding the save-quitting when you enter a new area sometimes like when you 1st enter mt moon. 1. Why does it look like the game is automatically quiting itself when you're just using the save option. 2. Why do you save and quit there?

[@itdepends604]

1. He is quitting by resetting through a physical button, rather then through the game. 2. This is for resetting the RNG (random number generator.) This is used to catch pokemon and avoid random encounters.

[@cnedden]

@@itdepends604 thanks, but could you elaborate more on how #2 works?

[@itdepends604]

@@cnedden The gameboy doesn't have any way to generate actual random numbers (eg. for random encounters etc.), so relies on a pseudo random number generator (often just called the RNG) instead. The inputs that you give the game determine the inputs to the RNG, and as the RNG is deterministic, this determines the output of the RNG. Resetting the console resets the RNG, then a specific series of button presses from then on ensure the RNG is always the value you want, hence controlling all random events in the game. You may wonder how you can consistently enter so many inputs correctly (eg. almost all inputs in mt. moon,) but this is possible as the game only checks inputs after an action (eg. walking one square forward,) which takes at least a couple frames.) There are some additional details, such as that firmware effects the initial value of the RNG upon reset, but this comment is already too long.

[@jasminejohnston6393]

For those who struggle against Brock, I didn’t beat him either. But then I learned what you need to do to beat him. I don’t own Pokémon Yellow, but I was allowed to borrow a copy to play on the school bus when I was in high school. Anyways, here’s what’ll make him easier: -All trainers in the gym use Ground type Pokémon, which are immune to Electric attacks which makes Pikachu useless against the Jr Male’s Diglett and Sandshrew and Brock’s Geodude and Onix -If you catch a Caterpie, you must let it fully evolve into Butterfree to stand a chance against Brock’s gym -Mankey and Nidoran Female are two other options. Nidoran Female can learn Double Kick, making her very useful for the gym Oh, and you’ll have to lose the first two fights against Gary. This may seem like a stupid thing to do, but winning both fights results in him evolving his Eevee into a Jolteon. But by losing the fights, you’ll go up against a Vaporeon instead, which is weak to Electric!

[@Davedesert]

His pulse went from 80 something to 170 at the end. Jesus man, congratulations on the win but it’s just not worth the stress. I was legitimately concerned for his health.

[@andredonascimento8867]

1:05:20 Is it a glitch? what happened here?

one can use a pokedoll without sylph scope to pass through

Have you ever tried to catch 25 pokemon in an hour and a half?

[@GreetingsFromArrakis]

Gratz! Question.. if you let an AI run this game millions of times would it find a better way to obtain a new WR?

[@NinjasxX2]

yeah. there's a TAS for the game

[@GreetingsFromArrakis]

@@NinjasxX2 thx but is that fair? I saw one where every move crits lol.

[@tim..indeed]

@@GreetingsFromArrakis well an AI would repeat millions of runs until it got RNG of that magnitude

[@GreetingsFromArrakis]

@@tim..indeed yeah but what about like a new strategy, catching another Pokémon and leveling it instead of the Nidoran etc?

[@NinjasxX2]

@@GreetingsFromArrakis yeah they have that in the TAS. you catch a Clefairy and it just uses Metronome

EZ

[@armorykittington]

22:42 - 24:18. Am I missing something? Is there some trick here? Because there's absolutely no shot he just WALKED THROUGH MT. MOON AND DIDNT CATCH 15 ZOOOBATS. Am I missing something??? Because in what multiverse has this ever happened with an original game cartridge?? I speedrun for fun. Pretty sure I'm way faster than this dude, and that's not rng lol. That's manipulation. Edit: man, I love the format and decisions, but 100% encounter manipulation that can't necessarily be determined, but if you play you know. That's lame. Good strats, but the chances of this run being real are astronomical without infinite repels.

[@tsundude4320]

There are tiles that he needs to press a or b on(I forget which) and he has to follow a certain path, hope this helps!

[@armorykittington]

@@tsundude4320 Whaaaaaat??? Never heard of that lol. Sounds like pressing down+b when the ball shakes lol. Wild.
