Rules and Explanations
Rules: (1) Only use the one Pokémon in Battle, others for HMs are fine. (2) No Items in battle (3) No Glitches* (4) Set Mode (5) No saving in the Elite Four (6) No evasion moves
Badge Boost "Glitch" Explanation: When you collect odd numbered badges the game boosts a stat by 12.5%. Brock gives ATK, Surge DEF, Koga SPE, and Blaine SPC (in game text is wrong). When any of your stats are modified (even by you using a move like Withdraw, or your opponent using Leer) the badge boosts are re-applied. So If you use Swords Dance, you also gain *an additional 12.5% in Speed/Defence/Special (on top of the 12.5% you were supposed to be getting). When you level up, the game corrects this error, and only the non-glitch 12.5% remains. Because of how difficult it is to avoid, I've allowed for it to be exploited, since opponents will spam Leer/Growl anyways, and this way battles are less random. Red/Blue are extremely buggy, so there's always going to be some glitches present, and because of how unavoidable this one is, it is allowed in runs, and considered more like a special Generation 1 mechanic as opposed to a glitch.

Congrats on the sponsor, and its awesome its something actually semi-relevant to your content too given the overlap with shin megami tensei games and pokemon.

@marcelinebellafiore8695 5 месяцев назад

Here's a silly little fun fact: the Ditto crit glitch is actually relevant in RBY Ubers. Ditto is sometimes used to copy the opponent's Mewtwo, so landing a critical hit while transformed is actually bad since it's calculated with Ditto's tiny 48 Special.

@marowakcity3727 5 месяцев назад

To be fair, ditto copying mewtwo isn’t expected to make offensive progress, it’s just their to waste 20 turns

@redreoicy6698 5 месяцев назад

Another fun fact, RBY Ubers incorrectly uses dittos base speed to determine the crit rate. While ditto's stats are used on a crit, the transformed pokemon determines the crit rate.

@DanHowsen 5 месяцев назад

If only its special was 10 lower. Then it could just shoot everything.

As for Jrose's "worst moves" list...there is still one more box that needs to be ticked off: Bugged Focus Energy being used to reduce unwanted crits when stats are boosted. Don't think I've seen that niche strategy employed yet. Will it ever?

@edgevalmond6173 5 месяцев назад

@@yesec9 Thing is, because you know how the mechanics work for Gen 1. Focus Energy is actually one of the better moves to use. It should trigger the Badge Boost if I remember right, and it reduces your chance of doing crits. This means you can get around battles easier with it. Since you're typically setting up on the first or second Pokèmon. You'll be able to outspeed and one shot many of them.

@yesec9 5 месяцев назад

@@edgevalmond6173Wait what? Focus energy triggers the badge boost glitch?? I'm searching around and not seeing anything about it. I was under the impression that 2 move slots would have to be taken up; one by focus energy to eliminate crit chance, and one with the stat changer such as amnesia, defense curl, etc. to trigger the actual badge boost glitch. If that strategy only requires 1 move slot solely with focus energy, that's actually a game-changer! Even with the one downside being that you aren't getting the non-glitched, game-intended stat boosts that increase with defense curl or amnesia, that's still a big deal

@blahpy 5 месяцев назад

The cooltrainer move and the bug where pikasprey had no pp but couldn’t use struggle are actually two completely different bugs. The cooltrainer move is caused by the move in slot 1 being a blank slot (caused by swapping the slot transform is in with another slot while transformed), and the pp one is caused by a bug with mirror move creating pp in a blank slot

@a-s-greig 5 месяцев назад

Haha, relatable.

@skyeplaysgames4598 18 дней назад

Quick addition: Mirror Move (and Metronome does this too) don't add PP, they remove 2 PP, then add 1. This goes wrong, where the first removed PP and the first added PP happen like they should, but the second removed PP happens in the untransformed moveset. If this happens in a slot that has 0PP (which includes empty moveslots) it underflows to 63 PP (also removing a PP Up if it has one, or giving max PP Ups if it has none). This means that if Metronome/Mirror Move is used on an empty moveslot, it gets 63PP and that blocks you using struggle until you use Metronome/Mirror Move another 63 times on the same moveslot.

@raineob4996 5 месяцев назад

At this point it’s almost a miracle that using Gen 1 Transform doesn’t just make the cartridge explode, it’s that glitchy and broken. Also, if I remember correctly, the Pikasprey thing wasn’t due to swapping moves, but because of a bizarre interaction between Mirror Move/Disable and Struggle.

@Spyvy 5 месяцев назад

You are correct. Crystal_ found out that when you use Mirror Move or Metronome, the PP of the move is decreased twice: once for the activation and once when the move is picked. To fix this, Game Freak added a function that increased the PP by one afterwards so you don't notice it. While transformed however, this increase is applied to the party data and not the temporary one, resulting in the PP for that slot to increase. If there's a blank slot with non-zero PP and everything else is out of it, you can't use Struggle because the game thinks you can use a move even though you can't select it.

theoretically, if there was a universe where you needed to use struggle strats on every elite 4 member besides agatha, you could use srruggle vs the first 2 members, then ether for agatha, then use the old rod on the bottom half of the statues to use the rest of transform's pp before fighting lance. like you said, struggle wouldn't have been mathematically possible, but there is that possibility to get rid of pp

@renatamaclean1163 5 месяцев назад

Not sure if anyone's pointed this out yet, but the crit glitch does seem to work both ways. So any opponent's crit would hit ditto's much higher base defence and probably do less damage than a regular hit

@snoozbuster 5 месяцев назад

It’s like the game considers the stat changes applied via transform in the same category as stat changes from other moves like growl. So when it strips everything to base to calculate a crit it does it based on the dittos stats

I recently thought that focus energy actually might have been intended to work as it did but critical hits were also meant to be worse than what came after gen 1. Focus energy is on some pokemon that have a high crit move and an ATK boosting move (meditate+karate chop, slash+swords dance), so maybe you were meant to boost your ATK and focus energy to actively avoid the crits in certain situations. Even the name could kinda make sense "focus energy"="focus the ATK-boosts you accumulated"

Actually... I think Ditto's Transform is more like using Swords Dance (i.e., temporary stat increase). After all, Crits are based on Speed and never take into account offensive and defensive stat changes (for the Pokémon getting a crit, both offensive and defensively) in Gen 1. So when a Ditto transforms into a Persian and tries to use Slash, gets a crit; it'll do so much more using Ditto's original stats (when it entered that battle) over the stats gained via transforming. Basically put, It's not a glitch, but how the game is programed to operate under such circumstances. I did not know that- then again, I never use Ditto, so... yeah. Learnt something new today. Ditto isn't as useless in gen 1 as I originally thought.

It would be great to have a Ditto run in gen II or IV. You could use your delayed leppa strats (which I think it's one of the coolest things I've seen youtuber do in a pokemon challenge run)

Bro I can’t even begin to put into words how much of a great time this vid dropping is for me. It’s been a wacky week, and you never fail to entertain. Thanks bro, keep up the good work.

Hold up! Atlus, the company that created the monster capture genre, sponsored your video about a game developed by the company that made the monster capture genre popular in the west. Great for you man! You deserve this. I've been following you for years and have enjoyed every second of it.

I could've sworn you were the one who made the other Ditto run. For a moment I thought you were revisiting old runs with current strats.

I thought the same thing but then realized it was Pikasprey. He even mentioned him and I was like, "oh yea, that's where I saw it."

@rosso4001 5 месяцев назад

I am curious how it would be different if you did it with two dittos. How would your strategy change when you have options other than struggle strats.

Watching all these sharp image videos of gen 1 made me see that all those "black boulders" at the side of the road that I used to see on my game boy pocket and could not figure out what they were, were just trees. I must confess that a lot of the mystery and magic of Kanto was lost after that
