Pokemon Blue - AGDQ 2015 Speedrun by werster -  

ya that was epic

LOOXEMBORG

That's Werster for ya ... Hes like an encyclopedia for Pokemon games :)

+Mastas2 an encyclopedia with a refrigerator

It was the same for me. Also, when I played gen I, I was confused at how secondary types worked since cloyster seemed to resist fire. I finally understand it does not.

Why did he get banned?

I don't think even Werster knows.

***** according to Werster he did.

+B2Roland fairly confident he was joking

GDQ are a bunch of triggered snowflakes, wouldn't be surprised if it was something even more innocuous than reading a donation with the N word

Tfw the game became self aware

faxik "someone donated $750!!" whole room stays quiet and everyone has a blank expression lmao

faxik It's changed over the past couple of years. Maybe people simply expecting those large donations dulls the excitement for them.

I'd say it's probably more that this run is pretty technical and everyone was trying to not be distracting or anything.

+faxik didnt know that attendees were getting anything from some random person's donation

+therealrictuar I can understand if its technical and you get lost, but just because something does not benefit you as the money goes to a good cause and you don't clap because you only care about what happens to you? Okay, each to their own on what they clap about, but to me it's like "etiquette" or just common sense to be nice or show you think it was a nice gesture if someone helps out and I don't.

You can always watch Summer Games Done Quick, which is this June/July, I think.

***** Lol ye I know that.. But I also know that Werster never attends SGDQ, that is why I say a year.

do u speedrun now

@@fishaxe23 I wouldn't exactly call myself any good and it's very casual but I "run" some newer pokemon games sometimes.

Bonus stream was hilarious even though there wasn't much of it..

***** No cosplay, strict rules on who gets to be on couch when, and I think there was even one against plushies but Bertin snuck in Sanae somehow. There was also an emphasis on reading more sad donations and constantly reminding people on sponsors because Uyama needs his cash.

***** Overall yeah. There were still great moments. Last year's felt less hype as well but this year was even worse in that way.

***** Plus the Bonus Stream was incredibly short BibleThump

***** >implying Uyama makes any money off of AGDQ >implying all of the money isn't going straight to PCF >implying charity is a bad thing to prioritize

Because he's not a kid

James Russell "I need to use a bit more PP"

+Tenta cles It's a willy joke

+marcaxe found the brit

+Tauren He plays Pokemon... I'm pretty sure he's still a kid at heart.

I just scrolled down and noticed that this has already been said many times...

Your grammar is probably the most cancerous thing I've ever seen in my life.

+Jack Registeel Congratulations on winning the internet for today, Mr. Registeel.

+Jack Registeel his grammar was fine.

professor de portuga do YT lol no :)

Basically the game allots 20 "spaces", if you will, that could hold item data in memory. From his explanation, there seems to be an internal count of how many spaces are being used (= how many items you have) currently. He tricks the game into thinking there are -1 items in the inventory. The game interprets the abnormal "-1" as "255", so when the item screen is opened, the game shows 255 "spaces" worth of info. The 235 spaces after the aforementioned 20 are non-item sections of memory being forced to read as items. Just so happened that the item he tossed corresponds to the map ID that going through a door will lead to. I hope my explanation is clear.

this is "inventory underflow", tricking the game into thinking you have 255 items. items are stored as (item type) (count) (item type) (count)... in memory. usually this is limited to 40 places in memory, since there are 20 item slots, however, scrolling past this with inventory underflow essentially makes the game consider unrelated parts of memory as items, including your location. so tossing/gaining items in the "slot" corresponding to an item past the 20th slot can change parts of memory past item data, resulting in things like location changing.

False

It's true, and I can prove it.

It's true. I have the European version of Pokémon Blue and that bug(?) does not work.

Are you sure it was on the tiles with no encounters? there is a map here: wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red/Blue/Viridian_Forest_Movement I used to run this category casually (~40 attempts) and never got an encounter on those tiles, and i have the european version too.

Well, I have an original spanish cartridge from 15 years ago, and I can tell you for sure. I moved through that tiles, and I got encounters as usual. And considering they also patched the missingno glitch, it's no surprise.

notChinmay when in the trainerfly state you can interact with over world sprites. You have to let the trainer walk toward you to encounter the battle. Listen to the video next time.

oh okay... sorry for being ignorant

+hmoobvball91 There is a huge difference, considering that save corruption will make it so that you beat the game under 1 minute.

"Mort en poules" means "died in pools" in French which refers to losing in pools in a tournament, mostly fighting game tournaments and in extension being a bad player :)

do you narrate your entire life?

+Miku Hatsune do you enjoy anime?

Do you like corn?

No save corruption, as in no turning off in the middle of saving to mess up the game

Ah, I see.

The save wasn't corrupted, you just reload the save to trigger a glitch

any% simply means reaching the end of the game (which is the hall of fame event in this game) ... it doesn't matter HOW you get there. xD

***** But if you know how to simply code the game, ANY programmer could hold the record. That was such a silly bullshit run.

well, not really. You can't use glitches that don't exist. So you have to play according to the "rules" of the game. But as it is the first generation of pokemon you will find more glitches than you could ever use in a single run xD I understand why many people don't like glitched runs. But the category is justified in that it is fun to search for those glitches and for how they can help you to finish the game faster. So it's less about actual running but more about planning the run.

we found the 12 year old! good job guys!!

meaning pokemon power you dirty pajeet

+Wyatt I thought it sas power points

it is power points

Not really, he got play time and that is a big thing. Before everything was accepted and declined, there was over 600 hours of speedruns on the table. So him getting a run is already special enough. Even if it was juts 5 minutes. Compared to over the hundred speed runners that did not get a run.

***** Cool, Australia represent. I live in the same state as him.
