Pokemon Blue/Yellow 2 Games 1 Controller by MeGotsThis in  

Runner introduction starts at 2:57. Runs starts at 3:40.

the story of I Never and I Nefvj, a truly classic one

The player crossing screens at 36:25 is epic

36:26 the character fades over to the other screen!

Wow. I can't believe that looking at the helix fossil is a legit strat in this. I love it.

Trying to pay attention to this hurt my head can't imagine playing it like that. Great Work

I've never heard somebody call MissingNo. MissingNumber before. I mean, I know that's technically his name and all, but still. It's definitely a first for me.

This is a beautiful trainwreck and I love every second of it

What an amazing idea for a run. Great job on it, MeGotsThis!

This was honestly amazing, with the little bit of problems he had this run was still just truly unbelievable, kudos to megotsthis

Hi everyone! TiKevin83 here from the couch to answer some common questions I've seen: We had some new people on the couch instead of Shen, Swaph has the current best time in 2G1C red/yellow (yes multiple people have run it!), and I recently TASed Yellow Glitchless ENG and verified the TAS on console. We kept Keiz up there too. The run derailed a bit in the midgame due to IGT0, basically saving with an unlucky in game time frame count. The RNG that generates encounters and DVs relies on a CPU cycle counter, and a few unlucky IGTs can overflow at bad times causing extra cycles and therefore different RNG. Megotsthis didn't completely know the procedure to fix Yellow IGT0 which involves resetting the item ball's NPC timer by entering a building before resaving. Getting through that derailed the forest quite a bit. We all really enjoyed the run though, especially the midgame from moon exit to Viridian Rival, which showed off tons of great strategy and execution of the run. Thanks for watching!

Good difference in sprites is 1:35:20 1:37:24 1:38:43 1:42:26 1:50:41

It's really a shame this run had as many problems as it did. Pokemon games are rough, and 2 at once is even moreso. Mad props to MGT for running with it nonetheless.

Wow. Watching these games side by side really shows off how massively improved the pokémon sprites are in Yellow.

It's insane how much nicer the tileset looks in Yellow compared to Blue.

That was fun to watch, a bit of a bummer though that Yellow version wasn't completed.

Love this run - but I also REALLY love some of the donation messages! Great work, donators.

They're getting pretty creative with these run ideas

2:53:20 ironic, how their decision not to give her the good AI resulted in her having effectively better AI than lolagility Lance.

Just started watching some of these GDQ speed run vids. Love how casual, real and (strangely simultaneously) professional the presentation of this whole event feels. I also like that the timer has a binary representation drawn in the background lol don't see that kind of thing much. Cool videos overall, and love the donation incentive stuff - good stuff! Shame the donation incentive wasn't reached here. Still, is great how much was raised.

43:30 everyone's favorite game: Glitch or Feature?

And next year: Red, Blue AND Yellow run simultaneously.

This is amazing!

This was an amazing experience. It's more fun when things go awry

9:25 *INTERDIMENSIONAL RATTATA*

I knew about the color difference, but all this time, I was totally unaware of the graphical differences between Yellow and its predecessors until seeing it side by side now.

Now that I think about it, when I played through Yellow I ended up largely ignoring my Pikachu in favor of a Nidoking, too. Guess I stumbled upon the speedrun strat.

This run was amazing

i've always rationalized the rhydon/nidoking surf thing as not many people are able to withstand a tidal wave, but most people can swim.

I'm pretty sure this was megotsthis's first big public run and despite the problems, he rolled with the punches in a very difficult run. Props to you megotsthis

Awesome run! Bummed i couldnt be there this year to watch, but alas, fun! Id love to see more games ran like this, though i suspect it would be far more challenging?

48:18 "Suck it Hungrybox"

Would've loved to see another go at this during this GDQ but alas, maybe next time. Still great

2:13:31 Koga in the Blue game: "What is that Trainer trying to do with his PokeFlute?" :D

The jinx cry actually made me laugh out loud, haha that was great.

I nevfj is the true Pokemon Master.

Ladies and gentleman. Today we have two speedrunners: left megotsthis and right megotsthis racing for the victory! But actually trying to win at the same time. Which confuses this humble person. Thanks for the run!

It would have been cool to put a camera on the controller.

I never thought anyone could make a Pokemon speedrun interesting, but this is amazing

Man this was so good up until the end. Poor megotsthis. I really hope he tries this run again some other year. Finishing both games would be one of the coolest speed runs ever.

That harmony at 1:31:33 is just a thing of beauty.

Little white box says audio is coming from Yellow, but it's extremely quiet and Blue is all I hear

I want to see what would happen if they did speedrun tactics fully without paying attention to yellow in this format. Where would yellow have been by the end?

Why did shenanigans not get a mic?

Years Later... I realize they mispelled Elixir with an E... (Ghost type activate)

all hail the magic conch?!??!!? PRAISE HELIX YOU HEATHENS

*WAAAAAAAAAAAH's responsibly*

For those of you that want to know, did a quick google search and got "The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf" So theres your Edith Piaf reference. She's a french singer.

I did not know that X Accuracy gave perfect Accuracy in Gen 1. PRChase HORN DRILL IMPALES ITS TARGET.

2:59:27 Hail Lord Helix!

13:37 is when the blue manip for male Nidoran starts.

Weird, whenever I did Surge's gym the can on the top left always had both switches.

That dual audio is just... perfect? Sure

I can't believe you'd put yourself through so much pain MeGotsThis... You remind me of another masochistic RU-vidr i watch--I mean know.

I'd love to see a Yellow/Crystal/Emerald triple playthrough just for the chaos

I'm now picturing the npcs in the game thinking "not this anarchy-democracy and helix thing again..."

pfft 2 games at once. big deal... 5 minutes in WoW this is amazing.

The binary clock not working correctly really bothers me. It works fine all the way up to 0000 1001, but then randomly decides to go to 0001 0000

I'd love to see someone do the Mt Moon manip on 2 games 1 controller

THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i cant believe they forgot about trevpersons black 2 run at agdq

pokemon red/blue/green & yellow all at once when?

I am confused, why didn't he try yellow again after losing to dragonite?

How about a Red vs. Blue vs. Yellow Race next year?

Twitch speed runs Pokemon

He should have routed in a Max Revive as a safety strat. Might have made the difference in Yellow with all the time he lost resetting

Oh yes more of this run is nice

Dragonite in blue looks so pissed off

1:05:29 greatest donation ever read on gdq

Is this run possible with the Gen 2 games?

31:17 Rest in Pikachu.

Go! Stop! I!

so next marathon are we getting 2 games 1 controller 2 people?

15:57 deserved some applause

wait what happened to gold? did it go way over the time?

Why not just go back and heal instead of continuously restarting?

why does squirtle look like KIRBY?

Yellow is a girl. :) The Manga confirmed her to be traveling disguised as a boy. The story gives reasons. I love her. It's like Pokemon acknowledging all the girls who played generation 1 and just dealt with having to play as boys. I always appreciated the homage.

1:19:57 I am watching this after the fact and i was actually drinking water as he said that lol

🙏🏻Praise Lord Helix 🙏🏻

TiKevin sounds like he is yelling at speaking volume. Was his headset wonky?

1:31:33 live recreation yay

spearow incentive is edith piaf - immediately pauses and listens to la vie en rose 10 times before resuming video

Sad he hit thunderbolt instead of blizzard at the end. It was a really bumpy run

2 GC w/ Gameboy player- $80-$100 1 Wavebird $10-$25 2 Receivers $30-$60 2 Gameboy player discs $100-$150 Pokemon Yellow $20-$30 Pokemon Blue $15-$25 Maximum total cost- $420...

1:49:15 best donation of the game!! HAHAHAHA

The true Fire Chicken is Torchic, thank you. GEN 3 FOR LIFE!

I nevfj put the potion in the bag.

1:15:44 I appreciate the shout out

I nevfj defeated A Jerk!

Isn’t there a Rare Candy in the Warden’s house after you get HM04? Surely that’d be faster than the cycling road one...

How feasibly is a nuzloche speed run?

at the beginning of the run, with the Nidoran capture/Forest fight issues... why can't the runner save after the capture, before the fight, after the fight etc. just save more often I guess ?

i want to understand the joke at 1:05:30 T_T but i was listening in the back ground so maybe i need to rewatch this... lol

32:24 nice timing

What glitch happened at 7:32?

I wish I could find the Oracles run he mentions in the interview

15:45 he catches it

no fuckshen starter? feelsbadman
