Is this the "Perfect" Version of Generation 1 Pokemon? 

This was the first comment

Opera gx is a terrible company

nope

i prefer my browsers not chromium

Opera is trash and run by bad people

you and the team rock dude i love the game

Emerald Legacy?!

​@@DarthMajorau ppl need to stop demanding for future projects

@user-lh5dc5cy1b did you bother to read his comment or are you just being an ass because it's all you know how to be?

​@@user-lh5dc5cy1b reading comprehension at its finest

Yo smith your rom hack is so good I literally 100% the pokedex

Kinda want to make an extra ad for it right now... Played both Crystal and Yellow Legacy . Smithplays reaĺly did an huge job. You're not playing "Old games but it's Kaizo HC Nuzlocke designed". It's litteraly just Gen 1 and 2 more sized to adult + fixing issue these games had. As Jrose did it's really "whatever you use" friendly without huge road block

That bugged me so much too lol

we'd have just gotten Jrose mispronouncing Ashley opposite how he insists on Lorelei's name. Which, in fact, just further raises questions about not using Ashley, since he already does Lorelei's name wrong on purpose.

@@youmukonpaku3168 no? no.

@@youmukonpaku3168 I can hear the ”Ash-lye” from here

It definitely felt like foreshadowing.

Or in layman's terms, grimmuendo

I checked after I fought him and I literally had 39! 😭

It was always possible. You could always trade with other players…🙄

​@@SimonFrackI can't believe I never thought of that before

Knowing the rival, he wouldn't do that until after the Champion title was taken from him.

@@Not_Alanius I disagree, I see the rival as a vicious wheeling-and-dealing trader taking advantage of ignorant collectors

Maybe there could've been a compromise where after you catch Mewtwo, the man that normally blocks you from re-entering the dock area tells you that he saw Mew flying out and heading southwest, or maybe you temporarily re-enter yourself and interact with Mew, who then teleports to the Cinnabar Mansion. Either one would be a callback to the popular myth and unlock its encounter at the Mansion when activated.

Missed opportunity for sure. But as it stands it isnt bad

Fool's Gold did that one beautifully, imo

You can still get Mew doing the glitch lol.

There's still SOMETHING under the truck at least 😊

Caterpie can hit ghosts now? Cool. Maybe it's actually possible to solo the game with it now.

@@calamelli209(X) Doubt

​@@calamelli209the Gengar line still resists Bug in this game, I think. They removed Bug being super effective against Poison, but I don't recall them removing Ghost resisting Bug. And Cut isn't a strong move. So while it would be able to go through the Lavender Town Pokémon Tower (in the base game at least), if there is a Gengar in the Elite 4, it might not be able to win.

@@calamelli209 Did they change Cut's type or something? Because a normal type move still can't hit ghosts...

Caterpie CAN cut it!

The eeveelution depends on the first two rival battles (the one in oak lab and the one in route 22). If player win both he pick Jolteon, if player lose both he pick Vaporeon, if it's 1-1 he picks Flareon.

​@@DMaster8686thats for base game yellow, i imagine what they mean here is that his team changes entirely based on those same conditions for this mod

The gym leader mechanic seems kind of impressive considering it's still technically a Game Boy game. Game Freak still hasn't managed to do that to this day, even with Scarlet/Violet. For the rival is it the entire team that changes now? Even in normal gen 1 games, half of his later teams changes depending on his starter so that he always has the same types present. Grass/fire/water are the variable slots in red/blue, while fire/water/electric are the variable slots in yellow.

@@qactustick It's not that impressive it's literally as easy as setting a variable to check how many badges you have then set teams for however many badges you want to care about. It's about as easy as having say, a rival fight to the left of viridian city, and having that change dependent on whether you've collected all the badges or not.

Proven to be the same encounter basically by the potions he uses in the later encounter though he should be on hyper potions by that point.

I figured as much since Green was one of the default female trainer names. Some forget (or didn't know) that she was basically the 4th Gen 1 "MC" trainer. Which is why her appearance did catch people off guard in the "Let's Go" versions.

I remember having some pack-in stuff that came with the OG games, with her facing down Red and Blue. I don’t think it was the manual, maybe like a Nintendo Power ad or something.

I was going to mention this myself. I wasn't sure, but the sprite looks _so_ much like her.

Originally her name was Blue. They gave her name to the male rival in English releases because Green wasn't released outside Japan and you can't play as a girl in gen 1 anyway.

Pokemon Adventures manga is absolute kino tbh

That was such an unnecessary but badass line.

For real that gave me chills 😂

And also the line “Smith might know how to play Pokémon, but I know how to WIN Pokémon.”

Yep, been waiting for this ^^

Dude same!

Sameeee

Huh... really odd they didn't patch out the badge boost glitch in hard mode if that's the case

​@@lambybunny7173Badge Boost glitch being unpatched is intended, it's a primary way of how they balanced Pikachu.

Now THESE are the changes I actually value massively. The aesthetic stuff is nice but this sort of thing matters way more to me.

We actually wanted to put Jessie and James as the Viridian gym rematch! There just wasn't room to add two additional characters into the gym's data without a lot of reworks.

@@Isona_Isano Aw sadge. Hopefully in a future update we can at least rematch them in post game even if it’s not a gym leader rematch.

Same lol 😅

Pokemon being on a hanheld means the graphics had to be way simpler. There are lots of gorgeous games from the 90s.

I was looking for this comment while pretending to clutch at both my pearls, and my digital copy of Shadow Tower. So here's another "nobody."

Yes

They are not the same person. The FR/LF female protagonist is Leaf, the concept art girl is Green (she appears in the Let's Go remakes, and also in the manga I think).

In even earlier concept art there was a female player character in red and green. She looked kinda like Red but she had long curly black hair.

I love the little sprite for Grimer in the party-menu, it's adorable \o/ Thank you for showing this version, this is fascinating

I partially disagree. Thing is, the games WERE more challenging back in the day, either due to lack of knowledge about Pokémon attacks, movesets or due to the absurd amount of knowledge about the games themselves. And that was part of the fun. That doesn't mean modded or new versions of games have to be ultra hard, but I for one enjoy more difficult versions, so I always hope, at least, for a difficulty mod or setting. If I just go through the base vanilla games for the 1000th time it can feel stale because I don't have to think about my decisions at all. Now, if someone plays for that reason, that's fine, but that was definitely not part of the games' original charm.

@@BernardoWLopes I, respectfully, disagree. The main reason a lot of the older games were hard was because their levels were inflated to compensate for their terrible movesets, lack of coverage, the AI being just awful etc forcing you to grind just to keep up but that’s not really “difficulty” and proper challenge just makes you grind more which is cool when you’re a kid cuz you don’t care lol because Arceus knows I didn’t 😂 I had all the free time in the world to grind back then. But as an adult with better understanding or game design and such….yikes.

Exactly this, and the new games try to capture that spirit as well. I get sick of the gorillas going "Ug, pokemon not hard enuf, game bad ug ug" when it's like... It's not about you and your weird fetish for groin-crushing difficulty little bro...

@@alexisauld7781 there’s a balance to be fair. Because while I do think there’s a lot of revisionist history about the difficulty/design of the older games and a lot of “mUh DiFicUltY” among the fandom, at the same time they have since Gen six from Musuda’s own mouth have purposefully made the games insultingly easy 😂 which isn’t good either. Part of the problem is due to their crazy self imposed development cycle they don’t have time to balance the game for all to enjoy not just one group or the other.

None of this excuses that Pokémon to this day doesn’t have a regular type of difficulty choice

I just Go to Work. 😄

is it a magpie?

@@markblacket8900 pretty sure it's a Northern Mockingbird, but I wouldn't be surprised if its mother was a magpie.

Congratulations 🎊 YOU GOT CRAIGED

Happy birthday

You're thinking of Kris, from Crystal version. She was the playable female character.

@@THEREDHOTWRECK Technically yes, but _technically_ technically... her username is very important here

Jrose: *calls Ashette, his player avatar* You: "Ashley was RIGHT THERE"

Yeah, I think he forgot to show the Moltres footage, I was wondering where Moltres was the whole video

Hbd

That's awesome!

Happy birthday bro wish you many more 🎉

Hbd

Happy birthday!!

She was actually planned for the original red and green but was scrapped midway, then she was brought back in the remakes with a new design that is popularly known as "Leaf"

​@@DanielPereira-ey9nt Leaf and Green are not the same character. Green appears in the Let's Go remakes with her original "concept art" appearance.

@@gaobot they are the same in practice and are completely interchangeable, she even wears the Fire Red Leaf Green outfit in the manga for a bit

@@DanielPereira-ey9nt You are right, it appears they are the same character in the manga, but not in the games.
