[TAS] GBC Pokémon: Yellow Version by TiKevin83 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4379M
TAS originally published on 2021-01-21
Pokémon: Yellow Version is part of the first generation of games within its famous series, known for having a very large number of beneficial glitches. In fact, the games can be completed in less than one minute of in-game time by save data corruption as shown by this run ( tasvideos.org/2687M ), and completed in around 10 minutes using a more "conventional" glitch, as shown by this run ( tasvideos.org/3655M ). These runs break the game, and avoid much of the gameplay intended by the developers.
In contrast, this run by TiKevin83 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/T... ) refrains from using any memory corrupting glitches and beats the game in a little over an hour and half. The Pokédoll trick is used to skip a dungeon in the game, but that is considered a minor developer oversight and does not corrupt the memory.

33:17 Rocket: "OK! I'll return the TM I stole!" *gives a child who didn't own the TM in the first place the TM* Rocket: "I better get moving! Bye!" Red: "Understandable. Have a great day." *lets a wanted criminal get away with his crimes*

I love the thought of walking into the Elite 4 with a single lv.46 Pokemon at 7HP and just wrecking shop. Nice TAS!

[@GSPfan2112]

Within the first 10 minutes I can tell your Pikachu is gonna hate you.

[@GuanlongX]

So THIS is where all the good RNG we could've had in a Pokemon game went.

[@AndrewBlechinger]

It's always been there, it's just impossible to actually get it without tool assistance.

[@dlonewolf69]

This game hit my nostalgia right at home! Everything was wholesome, until this encounter occurred - 7:00 😂😂. Still a fun TAS run to watch!

[@thunderaxe31]

As stated in the commentary, that Pidgeotto encounter was intentional for saving time later.

[@borjitasstoi]

welcome to the 2021 the year when people still confuse TASing with CHEATing

Don't worry I explained it to the one guy who didn't get it.

Yeah the fast options trick setting fast text and animations off at the same time also changes the sound to Earphone3 😅

god damn stereo mode

[@broryku]

Amazing run, one of the things I still can't understand of this game is how in hell you can fly on a Pidgey hahaha

[@thunderaxe31]

I guess you can just grab their foots. Look on the cover of Pokémon Special, volume 14

[@foiled9491]

Pokemon TAS always amaze me. 90% of his moves are critical hits while the other 10 are for show off Great stuff

[@thunderaxe31]

Actually, the reason why it doesn't always use critical hits is because sometimes it would waste time due to the longer dialogue.

Gen 1: Where you can literally Slash your way to victory and where you didn't have a Special Defense stat visible. Good old times!

[@Ramza1987]

There wasn't a special defense stat, it was just special, which was both attack and defense

[@GardevoirBoy1991]

@@Ramza1987 As of Generation II, The Special stat was split and acted pretty much the same as Magical Attack and Magical Defense from other Role Playing Games.

The audacity of this madman to think that he can go up against the elite 4 with 1 pokemon thats both underleveled and injured and make clowns of them. THE AUDACITY!!!!!!

Its a TAS, it's not really possible.

@@mauhdz5409 to be clear it's not possible for a human to perform the inputs, but the gameplay is 100% possible in this exact way on an original console as the TAS has been console verified

Lol every hit’s a critical, I’d rather see real strategies or new routes.

I watched it until minute 3. When all your pokemon are beaten then you lose. Pikachu was defeated so you lose - Game Over!

@@SparkschuItai Imagine being so petty you accuse people of needing to "improve" themselves when they've done nothing wrong. Pathetic hypocrite.

[@enerc2333]

there is a cheats called, never miss any attack and make several critics, there is also another cheat called your enemy miss attacks, all this is pure cheating, I do not believe that you have made this perfect run and have not failed any horn drill, this attack will be successful unless your pokemon is higher or faster, but it always has 0.01% to fail, It is impossible that you have hit all those attacks on the venonat and not have missed one, I would believe you if it were X precision, but with X speed it is impossible that they have hit all, You say that this guy made many attempts but still that is impossible, ohko attacks always depend on the level of the pokemon the speed influences but there is always a% in failure, so that's impossible, this guy used cheats, to never miss and make several critics, he's a fraud.

[@TiKevin83]

This is a TAS, in Pokemon gen 1 Tool Assisted Speedruns you can manipulate all RNG. The TAS has also been proven to play back on an original cartridge via the Game Boy Player in the commentary video linked in the description.

[@FreshinhoHerobrine]

Looks like someone doesn't know what is TAS

[@jeromethegnome9388]

Its a TAS my guy. Its like playing in an emulator and rewinding every action until you get what you want. The only thing we don't see is him not hitting what he wants and rewinding time to try again. TAS are used to showcase what a perfect game would look like and is generally understood to be an impossible scenario. This is like arguing that a TAS of the original mario game shouldn't hold the record since it does impossible direction presses or hits a and b 12 times within 15 frames. We know. Its program assisted.

[@jeromethegnome9388]

Also have you never watched top tier Pokémon runs? They mimic this as close as possible. While extremely unlikely, things like this can happen

[@Seth_Hezekiah]

Its a TAS.
