Thanks for watching! I really thought I could just waltz past this fight with a four turn thrash and then easily recover when I got three turn thrash. I was very, very wrong.

If you ever get paralyzed and enter the battle against Bellsprout without a way to cure it, and it ends up being faster than you, the battle becomes unwinnable. Due to how the RNG works, every single time Bellsprout misses wrap, you will always be completely paralyzed.

@tortoisecity 3 месяца назад

interesting - gen one is just so deep in terms of how wack it is coding wise

Some call her the Wrapping Lass bc she can spam a Sleep Powder and Wrap combo, during normal playthroughs. She knocked out my Fearow once with that strat, and I vowed revenge against her (I tried learning to hack the game just to eliminate her, but couldn't. She's that powerful)

@dominicmoisant8393 3 месяца назад

They don't call her the "Wrapping Lass" for nothing

Speedrunning is a funny little thing. Sometimes you get the luck of dreams, and some days - you end up with this.

@Mordecrox 3 месяца назад

Just ask Werster. Getting a shiny Ralts for Wally is just the start if his woes just from the sheer amount of runs he did .

The bit-crunched sound of wrap's attack animation was my sleep paralysis demon for many years in my childhood. Entire minutes spent watching my Pokémon's health get relentlessly drained one bit at a time without being able to do anything about it

@tortoisecity 3 месяца назад

it's so cruel and grating to listen to each turn

@pchurch692 3 месяца назад

Yeah, my buddies and i ran this game back in the day, my one friend had redbar on 4 turn thrash girl and gen 1 missed twice in a row and died. Classic!

@tortoisecity 3 месяца назад

honestly the only thing missing from this particular fight was a gen one miss, if I got that then i'd have a complete set

@shylar763 3 месяца назад

I think I had something similar happen to me in one of my either RBY playthroughs where I basically got trapped in a sleep + wrap loop, I think I had to switch out to a Pokémon that was faster than the opponent's Pokémon to get out of it

@tortoisecity 3 месяца назад

yeah if I was smart I would have swapped out early, however skill issue

pokemon red is the only game i've ever speedrun, and i think i only made it all the way through twice (but very happy with my 2:02!). i just remember being so terrified of a hypno in koga's gym, thankfully i think i made out okay with the bellsprout fight :|

@tortoisecity 3 месяца назад

2:02 is a very respectable time! I will get there once I actually fine the time to do another run, haven't been caught out by the hypnos yet but I'm sure I'll get there

@cEighteen 3 месяца назад

I feel like the title is really bad, it took me so long to understand it due to all the capitalization in such a long name. "How badly can a fight go in Generation 1" or "How Badly can a Fight go in Generation 1" would be much better imo

@tortoisecity 3 месяца назад

fair points! I may change it tbh

@jefferyfeistel3843 3 месяца назад

Wow. I'll be honest. When i first heard you say that Thrash was 3-4 turns, i was about to leave a comment correcting you. But unlike many people, i actually quickly did some digging to be double sure, only to find out that in gen 1 only, thrash was 3-4. I started playing in gen 3, so i had only known it as 2-3 turns.

@tortoisecity 3 месяца назад

and the is the worst video to say this, but thrash being 3-4 turns is actually really busted, just doesn't seem like it here lol (good on you for checking first though)

@jefferyfeistel3843 3 месяца назад

@@tortoisecity It really is. I am shocked that they would let that move hit so many times in gen 1. And yeah, I hate when people comment without checking the facts, so I wanted to make sure I didn't do the same.

@Tenko72 3 месяца назад

@Sunny92809 3 месяца назад

@@tortoisecitynot taking into account the amount of turns spent asleep or the amount of times bellsprout went for wrap and sleep powder and not poison powder or growth, I got 0.39%. In other words if you repeated 4 thrash 1000 times you would on average go through the same odds in only about 3 or 4 of those fights. Even less if you included the odds of what I excluded.

there are so many horrible ways to lose in gen one tbh, this is far from the worst, but demonstrates how the mechanics can interact with each other to make a fight really, really painful
