The First Step - Pokémon Crystal

The First Step is a weekly show brought to you by GDQ Hotfix and regular hosts JHobz and Keizaron. Speedrunning can be intimidating to get started with, but it doesn't have to be! Learn just how easy it can be by utilizing semi-blind races -- races of games you've played before, but never tried to speedrun -- and (hopefully) find a few laughs along the way. Tune in live on Thursdays at 7pm Eastern at twitch.tv/gamesdonequick to race alongside the hosts! This edition of The First Step aired on March 23rd, 2023

50:50 That's the AI in gen1 which is programmed to use super-effective moves in priority. As Mirror coat is Psychic and Grimer is Poison, it considers the move to be super-effective, and thus will keep spamming it

[@nogaxeh6]

If I recall correctly, the same logic bug exists in Gen1 with the rival's pidgeotto, where if you use a Poison pkm, the pidgeotte will only spam Agility because it is "psychic".

I loved the part when keiz talked about kaizo for 30% of the run

[@FluxChanneler]

This was really fun :D

[@slavkei]

O SHIT I was wondering when Keiz would be uploading another co-op FIR. I guess that answers it! Can't wait to watch :D

[@pixaster]

Yaaaaaaaaaay more pokemon!

[@nickthorpe4948]

Does anyone know how I play this randomizer / is there a discord?

[@Cerys65]

You might not need this anymore, but Keiz mentioned it being in his discord previously.

[@Jade_S]

Wow, all they did was talk about kaizo for like, thirty percent of the run...
