Pokémon is a phenomenon that made itself very famous in a short time a few years ago.
Pokémon Blue is part of the first generation of the games of that series that were made.
Up until this day, thousands of Pokémon fans have analyzed the games, finding out the exact formulae of how each battle situation in these games works out, how experience and levels and everything works, and what are the most effective ways to battle.
--------
There is also an alternate KZbin stream ( • GB Pokemon Red Blue - ... ) featuring audio commentary by the author on real hardware.

"A defeated A!" "A sent out A!" "A fainted!" This won't be confusing at all.

[@goodninji8]

Just think of it like Metal Gear Solid 2.

[@KnuxMaster368]

Finally the glitchless TAS is published Get used to the redbar noises, it's going to be a theme

[@DJIncendration]

KnuxMaster 368 Why?

[@KnuxMaster368]

DJ Incendration The redbar noises in this game skip past level up jingles and Pokemon cries, saving a few seconds every time one is skipped.

[@avalonjustin]

@@KnuxMaster368 Way to save frames. You guys are machines!

[@HeliosExeunt]

It also causes some minor sound glitches, like making Nidoran sound depressed whenever it comes out (I'm pretty sure lower-pitch cries on low HP was not a thing until Gen 3) and every Metapod sounding like Gastly.

[@discountchocolate4577]

Oh so _that's_ the main timesave. For those who don't know, redbar used to be banned from TASes of gen 1 categories because it's so unpleasant to listen to.

[@1krubby]

If anyone is wondering why they stay in red bar the whole run, the reason is that the gameboy can only play a few sounds at once and the low health beeping is given priority, messing with and shortening the other sound effects and speeding up the effects that go with them

[@onyxxreaper6786]

How are they hitting so many crits? I doubt they're hitting them because the TAS demands it.

[@AwesomeHairo]

TAS = controlling the software and hardware through specific inputs and manipulation of frames I think

[@tangy3003]

rng manipulation shines through

[@zmarffy]

Onyxx Reaper RNG manip.

[@onyxxreaper6786]

@@zmarffy How do you manipulate that? Is it because their health is always low?

[@KnuxMaster368]

Onyxx Reaper Delaying your inputs by mere frames

[@dansmith1661]

If I remember the lore, Ash was never a longtime rival to Gary, they were good friends who went to the movies together as little kids. Even going fishing to pass the time.

[@avalonjustin]

Pokemans? What's that? TASvideos and their obscure titles, honestly...

@ZCS and congrats to you for your first relevant comment 👏

This is the friendliest KZbin comments argument ever.

[@arcano3810]

That is cheating what you are doing you are using all the cheats, also the thrash attack only hits 2-3 times in a row and in the fight with sabrina you used 4 attacks in a row that is impossible who knows how many tricks you will be doing.

[@CoTeCiOtm]

Please inform yourself about what a TAS or Tool Assisted Speedrun is before you make a fool of yourself again.

[@arcano3810]

It is also impossible that you can hit the fissures and the horns drill, because in 1 generation it depended on the level and speed of the opposing pokemon and therefore having less level you should not hit any of these attacks you are making many traps and as I said it depends maybe your nidoking is faster than several rival Pokémon, but it is impossible for you to hit one of those, you are a cheater.

[@fireball54110]

it's called "rng manipulation"

[@discountchocolate4577]

Are you familiar with the badge boost glitch? Any time you use an X item to raise one of Nidoking's stats, if you have a stat-boosting badge, that stat boost is applied a second time when you use the X item. Using an X accuracy will therefore not only increase Nido's accuracy, but it will also increase Nido's speed, which further increases the likelihood of hitting horn drill or fissure due to the increased speed difference. Even using a seemingly unrelated X item (e.g. X defend) will re-apply the speed boost from the corresponding badge (I think it's Koga's badge?). Even if the first stat change comes from an enemy using Growl or Tail Whip early in a match, this speed boost is applied. The X item strategy is executed consistently in real-time runs by the way. Watch any PB from a top runner of Red or Yellow and you will see them hit with horn drill and fissure pretty much just as often in key late-game fights.

[@luckytyphlosion9910]

in gen 1 only speed matters for hitting ohko

[@arcano3810]

@@luckytyphlosion9910 It's not that, the game is made by TAS, it was already explained to me, that's why it makes those things impossible, but legally, it is impossible for that to happen, I have tried it myself, using guillotines, fissure and perforator, of the 5 attacks you get 3 or 2 depending on your and your opponent's speed! But since this video was made by mistake and mistake, it is obvious that they came out perfect, that's why I no longer have anything to object to!

[@enerc2333]

You are cheating, you are using cheats, you are using the cheat to make critics and protect your health and I suppose you used the cheat to get the pokemon to the max in IV and EV, you are also using the trick to catch pokemons in one shot and and also is using the trick so that you do not get random Pokemon it is impossible that in the Moon Mount you have not got any Pokemon you are a cheater.

[@Kakaw3t]

That's called luck manipulation and is part of the allowed techniques in Tool Assisted Speedruns. If you don't want to see """cheating""" don't watch a TAS. This is mostly done to show what a machine could do to a game to beat it as fast as possible, beyond the limits of a human being. It has no value whatsoever in terms of challenge, unless you count the imense work put into finding all those glitches and techniques and preparing an optimized route thorough the whole game to get the fastest completion time. Try to do some research next time before you cry about cheating.

[@fireball54110]

is this a joke or not?
