[@jaygamings6888]

Imagine how horrifying it must be for these trainers that some kid comes in, throws out a pokeball, an instead of a rattatta or metapod, out comes a moving corpse of a species long gone that won't die no matter how much you attack it.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

The terror is real. And Kanto has paid for it 😂

[@ach3456]

It is very, very funny that due to a combination of spaghetti code you can use a fossil that wins fights by breaking into negative HP. Incredible, cosmic coincidence.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Gen one had the best, worst programming ever

[@KewlNerd20X6]

It's like you're running through the game with immortal zombies. Them being fossils only serves to highten that theme.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Seriously. Aerodactyl should never beat Brock and Misty on these settings and yet Lord Amber is unstoppable.

[@TheSkullkid16]

I know you noticed this, but for all my fellow viewers here: The reason he could teach these glitched pokemon anything is because he has HMewl with him, who can learn any TM or HM in Gen 1 (and virtually any TM or HM in all other generations), by putting HMewl in the 4th team slot. You can see this in action in the background during his voice over before his fight with Erika, as he puts the actual Aerodactyl in the 4th slot, and suddenly his Lord Amber can't learn Rock Slide. When HMewl goes back to the 4th slot, Lord Amber can learn any TM or HM.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Yeah, it doesn't havfe to be Mew, it could be any Pokemon that learns the TM in the last slot, but I failed to mention that in the edit. It's in the Live Commentary though

[@kangaskdan]

This was so cool!! I had no idea these missingno's existed! And I'm always on board with proving Bulbapedia is wrong about stuff :D Great video mate!

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Yeah, these are fun. I have seen others do Rom hacks just using the sprite, but I couldn't find anyone doing legit solo runs of the original glitchmon. Had to do it and figure them out!

[@shadowtitanx3962]

Imagine if the HP bars go so slow from Gen 4. That would make Blissey jelly.

[@MOORE4U2]

The health bar would take the better part of an hour to deplete!

[@dragonslayerz2220]

I want to see someone like Scott do this now, because this is a really cool idea. It does feel that the minimum battles format is a bit restrictive for these two, since the routing in any sort of speedrun for these two would be nuts.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

The issue is that because your stats change every time you level up, and you level up every time your EXP group changes, there is actually no better routing than Minimum Battles with these Pokemon.

[@135forte]

You probably already know, but Gen 3 has a similar HP bug that is even easier to set up. Since Gen 3 also has a move that scales with your current HP, it also triggers a damage overflow bug.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Never studied about it in Gen 3. We must research this lol

[@bateltheassistant]

I always wanted to see how these glitch Pokémon will do in Pokémon yellow. The opposing Pokémons were looking away, because that hp bar😂😂😂😂. Manipulating the hp underflow glitch was really the play in this run ,and thier weakness as well , especially with dome. 😮 That was one of your best runs .😊 Keep it up!

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

This was a blast! I love breaking Gen 1, but I don't think I've ever seen it this broken outside of Glitch City runs.

[@bateltheassistant]

@@RBYPokemonChallengesBreaking the game is really fun in gen 1. Taking into consideration that the game can crush anytime while breaking it I think that maybe possible get them work even without using gamehook,but you'll need a different emulator for that like BGB. If you want to see gen 1 glitches at their finest,you should do a run in Pokémon green.🤣

OMG, we need to update Bulbapedia with this!

[@soulayr]

Would've been such a perfect run for Halloween night imo! The reason why there's no Lord Helix fossil actually makes sense if you think about it, as it's the true superior fossil in gen 1. The other 2 have corpse versions while the true Lord does not.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

He has ascended beyond death and therefore has no fossil. LOL This would have bee excellent for Halloween, but it wasn't ready yet unfortunately. Spent too much time sorting out the mechanics to use my early runs, which both took twice as log with tons of optional battles before I understood how these fossil glitchmons really worked.

I love how absolutely broken gen 1 is, its held together by a singular almost broken rubber band, a half chewed gummy bear, and hope, so much hope. Its a wonder how these games even function as properly as they do

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

But the games are broken in such a beautiful and novel way, that they formed the basis for an entire franchise that is beloved today

Precisely.

[@linhero797]

For those wondering what the fuck these creatures even are code wise, As I don't know if this is covered in the video. And just as a word of warning, I do not know a lot of this shit for 100%. If you want answers that are 100% accurate, I would suggest looking into it further. But I can give a solid idea of what they are. In order to save on space, Game Freak used the function that already exists to print out a Pokemon's Sprite for the Pokedex with the Fossils picture display in the Museum. And in doing so, needed to add them to the list of Pokemon. This same trick is used for the Ghost Marowak by the way. They don't actually exist as Pokemon, possessing no Base Stats to read from, or even a Name. As the names.asm file for the Pokemon Names, they simply have their entiries as the standard "MISSINGNO." entry. However they are not the same as other MissingNo. In a few small ways that don't mean much. However due to the way the game was coded. MissingNo entries CANNOT be ignored in many of the functions, such as cries, and Dex Order. This is due to the fact that the amount of Pokemon is initialized by the length of the array that defines the Pokemon themselves. And most of these functions simply read from this array. Much of their weirdness comes from this alone. They are pseudo Pokemon, they are real entries to the list. But are not supposed to exist in battle or even be more then a literal window display. So when the game is trying to find data for them all sorts of weird shit happens because they do exists but not really.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Exactly. The difference between these and Normal Missing no. are that normal MissingNo do have default values for base stats, typing, and starting movesets, but the fossil missingNo and Ghost MissingNo do not

[@TheRandomGuyTheFarNoGameCat]

I love Glitch Mons. They are such an unwieldy mess of code.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Further proof that Gen 1 was the best era of Poemon.... I honestly love how broken it is!

[@AaronJLong]

All of the ethers and elixirs in the main series got sent to the Mystery Dungeon games due to a shipping error, which is why they're so rare in the main series. After not bothering with the main series after playing Ruby and playing through Moon it felt super overpowered how I was able to mass farm the PP restoring berries. I figured that since it is now an easily massively renewable resources, they'd finally stock PP restoring items in shops, even if they added the stipulation that aside from the berries they couldn't be used in battle, but they're still rare. But when I'd meet up with the girl with Nebby she'd always restore my team and even mentioned having plenty of Elixirs at one point so maybe she bought out all of the shops' supplies. Or maybe the pokemon marts all carry them but you gotta show ID to buy them like with cough syrup or pseudoephedrine.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

I like the idea that they're in stock, but we don't have ID. They clearly have full stocks at the Pokemon Center.

[@cedric7751]

The underflow hp glitch can also easily be done with the pokemon caught on the cinnabar island shore. They will level down to lvl 100 when gaining experience, which reduces their max hp, triggering the glitch if they are caught with low hp

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Yep, or you can give am HPUp and hen level them up past Level 255 using Rare Candies. which causes their Level to go to 0.

[@dinosaurgroupinformation2401]

I wonder if staying poisoned on purpose to avoid wasting turns to sleep and stun would be faster. You seem to still just take 1/16 of your max hp per turn so I don't think the damage taken will amount to anything.

Gen 1 Pokémon was programmed on hopes and dreams

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

A world of Dreams and Adventures with Pokemon awaits...

[@EternalxFrost]

The String Shotting is simply due to you spamming Agility. In Gen I, the AI will always go for a super-effective move, and in case it doesn't have any, will then spam a status move (reason why if you get hit by Hypnosis and wake up the next turn, it will spam Hypnosis over and over and over until you stay asleep), and in this case, speed; since you increase your speed by 2 stages and String Shot only decreases it by one, you are always ahead by one stage, therefore it will almost always go for String Shot. Like 95% of the time, until it runs out of PP. This is due to the game trying to balance itself, by redropping your speed to a point where you have equal or less speed than it. Weird coding of Gen I

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

I'm pretty sure Bug Catchers are just programmed to attack randomly in Gen 1 though. I think them trying to manage our stat changes doesn't happen until Gen 2, but I could be wrong.

[@EternalxFrost]

@@RBYPokemonChallenges Well you could be right too, but you were pretty unlucky if that's the case ;P

[@critik_l]

Isn’t there a gen 1 glitch that lets you use the guy that brings you to Brock’s gym to skip the cave and head straight to cerulean? Wouldn’t you need to do that for super minimum battles?

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

The issue is that that is a glitch and not a sequence break. The HM pokemon can be legitimately traded in, the Fresh Water can be legitimately transferred with Stadium 2, and the Pokedoll Exploit (according to speedrunners) is legitimate.

[@gameygeemer4142]

Also, even ignoring that, you still need to get the Boulder Badge in order to get into Victory Road

The health bar ended up glitching like you see in this video. I think my uncle used one too many GameShark codes on that copy. Was super interesting to experience though.

That's something kind of big imo.

[@realperson69]

How do rare candies interact with your base stats changing on level up to the last Pokémon you beat? Even if you can’t force a BST change outside of battle, you can use them to control which Pokémon you level up against and try to select for high BST Pokémon with good EXP groups (and therefore high levels). 🤔 EDIT: You may also be able to time your rare candy usage to get more EXP. I haven’t done the math yet, but I suspect that for any given EXP total, the EXP to next level will vary with EXP group. The trick is that the groups with the highest EXP to next level will also be at the lowest levels, so I’m not sure where the sweet spots are.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

This ewas exactly what I ended up doing using RCs for Lord Dome against Sabrina.

That Caterpie is probably trying to counter the Agility that you are setting up before it finally Tackled.

[@TheSkullkid16]

"Smart" AI would do that, however only a few trainers in the game have "Smart" AI. Random trainers tend to have random AI, meaning they select their moves at random. It's why you'll see pokemon like Brock's Onix, who has random AI, will use Screech even though your defense is already at the lowest possible amount.

Not to cast aspersions on the stars of the show here, but I'm hard-pressed to think of ANY Pokémon that wouldn't be S-tier if it literally never had to worry about fainting. (Save for against Giovanni's Fissure Dugtrio.) If you took that away, I get the feeling that these would be VERY not-good.

[@ostint912]

At 35 minutes in when you were trying to regain the hp glitch would the rare candy have made you regain the glitch?

[@ProWeltfrieden]

As far as I understood it a candy wouldn't have helped. He needed to level up against a Pokemon with a lower hp-base stat than the Pokemon he is using. If he'd use a rare candy he just would have leveled up without the glitch since his HP would actually increase

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

I tested that as well as trying to use the Box Trick. Unfortunately the infinite health glitch can only be setup in battle by having low health and levelling up *or down) against a mon that results in a lower max HP after the level.

[@zyxyz2056]

Just starting to watch so this might've been addressed later or in a previous vid and I just missed it, but noticing smth in the bug catcher fight: why do you leave the run timer running when you're pausing the game completely to deliver commentary?

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

I did the same in both cases ( both videos have a live commentary where I am breaking down the same things linked in the description). So there is little if any difference in the two runs due to this. That said, you raise a fair point and I'll be more careful of that in the future

I and a lot of other runners call it Rival 4 because the fight West of Viridian is optional, therefore I rarely do itt

[@brolsroyceyt2362]

There's a glitch in The Cartridge 🤣🤣

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

I think my game is permanently broken now.... I seem to be unkillable...

[@Guitar.Gemini]

Can you use rest while in the “infinite” health glitch? I’d assume not because it would be considered full by some bizarre standard. I don’t understand computer science.

[@TheSkullkid16]

You could, but you'd have the same thing happen that Absorb did near the start of the video: his HP would "deplete" until it gets to his actual maximum, then Rest would force his pokemon to fall asleep.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Yeahnything that recovers health causes the health bar to go back to normal. which can take a massive amount of time in battle.

[@DoctorNovakaine]

What I'm guessing happens is that all the 'healing' moves have a routine that looks at the HPmax parameter to ensure they don't heal over that point. If the move is used when not equal to HPmax then it recovers, but only up to HPmax, regardless of what HPcurr is. With the underflow glitch, HPcurr is way above max, but isn't AT max, so the move can trigger, but then the game tells it that if HPcurr + recovery > HPmax, set HPcurr to HPmax.

[@carl4889]

Do you think you could beat it with a Slowbro with no damaging moves using the HP underflow glitch?

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

I mean, we couldn't do any damage. For a no damaging moves run you need Confuse Ray or Supersonic, Screech, and ideally a backup like Toxic or Leech Seed

[@ShayWestrip]

What happens if you get hit with a 1 hit KO move with the health glitch?

[@TheSkullkid16]

I believe I had this happen before, but since I can't remember, I'll explain it in a way that makes sense to what the game would do: A 1 hit KO move that is successful would forcibly set your HP to 0, meaning he would either have to reset immediately, or he could sit there and wait for all of his massive HP bar to deplete, which based on its drain rate could take a few minutes.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

Yeah, i Gen 1 OHKO moves do 65535 damage, so i would KO but take a massive amount of time to run off the HP.

[@Neogeddon]

Bulbapedia kinda sucks, in general, for anything besides raw moveset lists and such taken straight out of the games. The policy of not acknowledging pop culture references in Pokemon designs makes my head hurt since Pokemon has blatantly taken from tokusatsu and other Japanese media since the beginning. What they count as "notable trivia" is also arbitrary as hell. But also someone's probably already mentioned this, but if Bulbapedia is wrong - change it! It's a wiki, after all.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

For sure. I don't know all the background, or the moderation process for making changes, I just found it funny to find a section that is blatantly wrong.

[@ItsGamingFancy]

Wait, still really early in the video but what happens with toxic if you have that glitched HP?

[@BasilLecher]

Looks like it might just reduce hp based on what it should be not what it actually is. But I have no idea either.

[@TheSkullkid16]

Toxic's damage is calculated based on your maximum hp, like burn or poison. Unlike burn or poison, however, Toxic's damage stacks. Many think it doubles each turn, but that's not correct: If toxic's first tick is 8 damage, the 2nd tick is 16, 3rd is 24, 4th is 32, 5th is 40, and so on. So even though toxic would do stacking damage and defeat a pokemon very quickly, if the HP underflow glitch is active, it will take far longer than usual.

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

I think the SkullKid's explanation is correct. However, we could never get Toxic from Koga with either Pokemon because Rock resists Poison and he has "Smart AI". So the only potential case to even get hit by it would be Agatha's Golbat, and she was a joke in this one.

Confused as why they have sprite work

[@RBYPokemonChallenges]

The game uses thesesprites in the Pewter City Museum. They were coded in as Pokemon, but have only the front-sprite data.

Someone just did one of these. And expected to get paid just to watch It. I have to laugh. I do not pay for a simple little video. People need to get off the tree lol come down to earth. Besides that thank you for making this free.

Someone did a paid version of this? I did early release of this for channel members, but I always post the final version on the channel as usual.
