HOW EASILY CAN YOU CATCH EVERY GEN 2 POKEMON IN POKEMON RED/BLUE? 

This seems pretty impressive from title alone

Me before the video starts: "Nah, impossible, that's crazy." Me after the video ends: "Nah, impossible, that's crazy."

Title: "How long does it take to catch every johto Pokémon in kanto?" "Johnstone used confusion!" "It's super effective!"

This is definitely one of the coolest things I've seen all year. Gen I has some of the coolest glitches in all of Pokemon, and it's super neat to see what people are capable of pulling off in these games. I saw BlueBisharp hunt a Totodile earlier this year, but a lot of this was totally new to me, like the type changing. Great work!!

Me: Whatchya got there John? Johnstone: A Bayleef. Me: Ya sure...it looks kinda...Glitchy. Johnstone: *It's a Bayleef.*

Gen 2: Oh gawd Gen 1 is the most glitchy thing ever! We need Glitch protection to ensure no Glitch leaks into our games! Gen 1: Glitch Protection? Let's bypass it with *more Glitches!*

I've never been more confused by the title of a RU-vid video

*Reads title* Wow John really doesn’t want to do GEN 7

This is easily the coolest video I've seen you make!

I remember as a kid when I tried to trade Missing No. to the Gold edition that it showed as a Magby. I was really surprised back then, but I wasn't able to trade it. I obviously didn't figure out how to make it possible to trade it anyway so I just gave up. So I am really very suprised to see this video. Thank you very much.

It is very weird imagining this "proper", professional John yelling "YEEEEESSSSSS" when he catches a good Pokemon Love him nonetheless

It still feels weird hearing scripted videos by John after watching his Twitch streams

All gen 2 pokemon in gen 1 speedrun Honestly a TAS of this would probably be a show-stopper at GDQ.

This takes me back to when I used to watch MissingoXpert’s Let’s Glitch Pokemon Yellow series, where at one point he went over each special stat to see what Pokemon it’d produce.

Me before this video: "....what??" After this video: "Ahhh, I see. ....what??"

Wow John you were right, I never expected this from the vague hints you gave on stream :)

Man shoutout to RETIRE. He's a real one to help John with this. Also Pog :)

You should do "catch every pokemon in the game" with emerald, as messing around with the pomeg glitch can lead to ACE in gen 3, which in turn can be used to get pretty much any pokemon, including event mons. It's even possible to make them pass through bank if you know what you are doing! managed to get a perfect 6 iv glitched celebi to pass, which is amazing considering celebi is one of the rares mons in gen 3.

I can't take John seriously after seeing him on stream talking about canned bread

The effect seen at 13:55 can be prevented by completing your Pokédex first. To be more specific, each glitch Pokémon has a single normal Pokémon whose Pokédex entry controls that of the glitch Pokémon; for example, MissingNo will show its Pokédex entry if you haven’t seen Cubone.

Imagine pulling out a heracross called The Kanto Champion in sw/sh

Kinda had to do a double take upon seeing this appear in my subscription box

Fun fact: You can use the Mew Glitch for every pokemon still if you have battled every trainer except one long-length one. If you fly/ teleport away you can do 2 things. First you have to save, this is possible if you switch pc boxes. After that restart the game. You still need a walking animation. You can either battle the Elite Four, walk with the Museum guy at Pewter City, or the easiest of all, simply move any boulder. I prefer the one in the house in fuchsia city. After that you can go straight right to encounter a ditto. ✌🏻

john deepens his voice for his main channel like when the teacher calls your name and you say "here" in a lower tone

You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

So for dual type Pokemon, something that isn't apparent in the code, all monotype Pokemon are actually just the same type twice, that way, all Pokemon have the same data size for each index. Usually a Pokemon's data is (at least for gen 1) 28 bytes, so all Pokemon have that exact amount for its data structure and thus, each Pokemon has a Type 1 and Type 2 and the game is programmed to make it so if a Pokemon's first and second typing are the same . So a pure Grass type is 16 16(hex) for example. The only exceptions are the glitch typings because I guess they might have planned to have more typings and the game is set to show all of the ones that aren't Bird type as Normal, so it is technically possible to have a Pokemon that is Normal/Normal (I think, I've never tried to make a Pokemon be a glitched type called "Normal") but it wouldn't actually be Normal/Normal it would be a dual type where the second type is a "Normal" type with no weakness/resistances. (So it would effectively still be a normal type) the way the game handles this anyways, if you go above the highest index you'll have some issues as a type CAN be between 00 and FF and nothing above 1A (Dragon) is "properly" coded in, in other words, 00-1A are all "valid" typings which won't display any glitch text, and anything above 1A could result in various issues, and since a lot of Pokemon that aren't supposed to be encountered pull data from all over the place because the game is trying to interpret whatever data is present as a Pokemon, it can lead to all sorts of wacky stuff. (Assuming you didn't cover this in the video) I'd imagine you'd be able to make Croconaw not be Water/Fighting by making it type 15 15 (or pure water) rather than 15 01. (Thanks Bulbapedia for having the information available for my reference) Okay you did address it. This is why you watch the videos before you comment, kids.

Dude, this is so wild. I love learning about how the gen 1 games work since they're so delightfully broken, and this has to be one of my new favorite applications of that. Serious kudos to you for tracking all this information down and making it work

Hey John! Back in the day it was impressive if someone was able to get Mew. But now you're able to get every 2nd gen pokemon is just incredible! Mad respect bro :)

I love the dedication that you put into every challenge! This has been great to watch.

If the Special stat is 200 or higher, instead of a glitch Pokémon that can be converted to a real Pokémon in a Generation II game, it actually brings up a glitch trainer.

Pikablue confirmed catchable in gen 1.

I found this channel before I found stream John, but when I discovered his second channel I legit didn't realise it was the same guy. Great video as always!

This is really cool John! I love that you’re on the fringes of the collective knowledge about Red/Blue

A gen 1 Ho-Oh transferred to gen 2 will be pure gold just like the anime

You should be so much more popular on here. Your knowledge of these topics absolutely blow my mind. Thank you for this video I really enjoyed it

This was a very interesting video, dude. Excellent job. I admire the time you put in to research this idea. Keep it up!

REALLY cool concept John! Your content never ceases to amaze me!

this is not the johnstone i know the real johnstone screams his lungs away at a chat box whilst he slowly loses his grip on sanity :)

AMAZING video. i’ve always been into gen i glitches and ace, and this was super interesting! well done

This is the most insane Gen 1 glitch video I've ever seen. Even understanding a good chunk of how to preform those already I'm impressed by just how far you can go.

Its nice to see a big youtuber talk about this type of stuff, great video!

Since Magnemite gains the steel type in gen 2, are you able to transfer a Magnemite from gen 1 to gen 2 since he is technically electric electric in gen 1?

This is just what I needed. Let's gooo good work John

This was very unique and fun to watch. Keep it up John

I love your videos! You’re one of my favorite Pokémon RU-vidrs. Always so much quality in your vids 👏

Interesting video. Love all the content you put out John!

Okay this is really REALLY cool John, I love this stuff! I'll be checking out all the description links

I never did the mew glitch with the trainer in Cerulean, I always did it with the Gambler just below the Underground Tunnel west of Lavender Town, because that's the one I knew. And I didn't Teleport, I used Fly. However, I did to that glitch to get a Solo 100% complete Pokedex in Yellow, catching any version exclusives and trade evo's with it, by just experimenting and trying different trainer fights.

While I knew most of this stuff from reading Zowayix's Red Worst Luck Possible Red Catch-em-All Nuzlocke, its good fun seeing it all here. Good job!

Wow, this was such a good video and you can tell how much effort went into it. Thank you for doing it!

Good video John, really liked it. Can't wait for your streams and you're next vid.

John, i gotta say this is one of the best videos yet, i wanna see more like this man :3

Pretty cool you can do this, thought you'd have to hack honestly. But now I only have one question. Can they be shiny?

as soon as 8F was mentioned I knew this video was going down one hell of a rabbit hole

18 minutes of video may take around 18 days of hard work with glitched game, or even longer. That's crazy. Also I really appreciate what you doing for Pokemon community John. That's great!

3:03 Okay, this is a nitpick, but a byte is composed of 8 bits (or two nibbles if you want to get fancy). So wouldn't that make a bit the smallest unit of digital info? Especially since a bit can hold information, granted it's in the form of binary, but so is a byte

That... is insanity. Well done!

Truly an interesting video Nice work!

I'm amazed at how different johnstone is from stream johntent john. Yet both are amazing entertainers. Love it.

Hey, at least it's more possible than getting every gen 2 Pokemon in Sword/Shield.

I have seen a lot of Gen 1 stuff but this video might just be the best out of everything I have seen so far :o

When I was younger I actually thought of the secondary same typing for pokemon ( fire/fire) like something that was implemented and it made sense to me, so I thought pokemon with one type were that type twice. Cool video btw I love gen1 glitches

This video is amazing! Thanks for your work to create such a uniquere challange!

I’m just curious how you got the dark and steel types. Were you able to add/change types to dark or steel despite them not being in gen 1?

That was something else, but amazing work, I had no idea something like this was possible.

I was only barely following the technical terms but all I have to say is: you did it. You absolute madlad.

I can't wait till "Johto%" gets added to Pokemon Red and Blue as a speedrun category lmao

Yessss!!! We need more of THIS john

Cool concept, thanks for putting it all together!

The boy j stone killin it as always

Seeing the title I was like “Johns finally lost it”

Amazing video John

Aaaaaaaaaand hes already at the amount of views his live channel gets. His live channel needs more love

really great video what we have never seen before i appreciate the work youve put into this good job

Stuff like this is EXACTLY why I became GlitchMan fourteen years ago :)

this video just blew my mind and i love it

Great vids!! Keep up the good work!!

There’s a bypass for certain glitch mons that have softlocking dex entries: you can bypass the new entry screen by already having a specific Pokémon registered in the dex. For example with “h poke” (the glitch with the endless cry on the Pokédex screen), the softlocking screen can be bypassed if you already have Gengar registered in the Dex beforehand. This might save a little time by not having to use to 8F method.

Nice one mr stone liked it alot :)

Instructions unclear, caught sonic instead.

How about: "How easily can you complete all movies at Pokestar Studios in Black 2/White 2?"

What an inspired video idea - good job man.

I never thought there would be a madman who would catch all the glitch mons in Gen 1 that correspond to Gen 2 mons. Amazing.

Keep up the grind man

Big fan of ACE in gen 1-3. This is one of the coolest uses I've seen!

Ok this is freaking amazing! nice one!!!!

Johnstone answering the questions I never asked. Thanks!

Yo this looks sick!!

ngl, this has to be one of the most interesting pokemon videos ive ever seen

Getting the different Unown forms would be hilariously awkward. Great video though!

This was one of the most interesting pokemon videos I've seen ever.

wow, that's actually insane, didn't know they already had these Pokémon!

I've been looking for this video for like 3 years, I avoided this channel when searching because I thought I watched all the Pkmn videos and was like "nah, he didn't do the video". I can't believe you actually were the one I was looking for all along. Fun video by the way.

I love this kind of content :D

Now, how easily can you catch every SHINY Gen 2 Pokémon in Red and Blue?

This is really mindblowing.

This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in the Pokémon community

I'm happy to see a video talk about this glitch that I'm so fond of, that basically got me into gaming to begin with hahah in my pokemon yellow, I caught all 151 pokemon using the wild stat glitch. To go one step further, I leveled up my pokemon to a certain point to get a specific special stat for my pokemon I'm using for the glitch. The reason I went about using my pokemon to trigger the glitch wild encounter, I specifically ran into Ditto on the route shown in the video where he was encountered the Bellsprout in the video! Running into Ditto allowed it to transform into my pokemon with that certain special stat, once you make the Ditto faint, the triggered encounter will be whatever pokemon you set to find! Sorry for typing an essay lmao

Nice love this series

johnstone and johnstonelive are completly different persons.
