What do you think of these ridiculous Gen 2 Speedruns? This was a super fun one to put this one together! I decided to edit this with a different style to give a funky space vibe so the RNG talk wouldn't be too overwhelming. Let me know how I did. ☺

@ABC21564 Год назад

fun fact Crystal Kaizo+ nuzlockers adopted RNG manipulation for Rocky TID a few months back and it is still incredibly unpopular in that scene.

@samk-j6735 Год назад

Keizaron's Crystal run at GDQ was legendary, even if it went off the rails quite badly lol

@crabman5420 Год назад

God I LOVED that run, I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched it!!

@michelleneous6480 Год назад

Replaying a favorite scene over and over again? You're not alone there...

@PulseEffects Год назад

I would actually go so far as to rewind when a character would say something like "butt". 😂

@SproingBoing Год назад

@@PulseEffects You mean like replaying the boat scene in Finding Nemo just to hear "He touched the butt"

@PulseEffects Год назад

Yes lmaooo that one for sure

@TheForeverRanger Год назад

I am an unabashed Gen 2 fan and enjoy replaying them but I could never speedrun them due to the amount of RNG manips needed for the main category.

@eeveeblazelol Год назад

i find it incredible that speed runners use rng manipulation all the time and nobody bats an eye, but if anyone else uses rng manipulation we get called cheaters lol, anyway great video!

@PulseEffects Год назад

I've actually gotten so many comments on how it's cheating. I wish folks were more open-minded to the concept.

@1080_daisuke Год назад

if you think about it, rng manipulation is just being insanely good at soft resetting

@eeveeblazelol Год назад

@@PulseEffects yeah, especially since rng manipulating pokémon games was actually originally created to combat hackers

@N12015 Год назад

@@PulseEffects Tbf, it kinda feels like cheating. That being said, I think people confuses RNG manipulation with the actual "cheating" of ACE who you know is literally hacking the game in certain way.

@Solaceon Год назад

Maybe it's because I'm big into ACE and RNG manips, but my definition of "legit" is really clouded when it comes to Pokémon. If you aren't using external hardware (aside from Eon Timer, Seed Finder, etc. when applicable) and you aren't hacking with ACE or Action Replay, you're not creating any kind of impossibilities. The frames are already there, you're just bridging the gap between the guy who hit the right ones and the ones who didn't. I wish other games allowed it too, even if it were its own category.

@Pure577 Год назад

I usually like longer form content as background noise but your videos are short, concise, and entertaining enough that I can stay invested even with my short ass attention span. Good stuff 👌

@pchurch692 Год назад

Great video Pulse. Lots of good memories running this game with you, Lotus, Snorms, Smileyz, etc. Hope you've been well fam!

@PulseEffects Год назад

Thanks so much, dude! It's good to see you pop up in the comments. As you might be able to see, I'm having a blast making videos, so I can't complain! 😂

@survivalexpert8625 Год назад

I usually watch nuzlocking content cuz that's how I always play Pokemon but seeing how much goes into speed running a Pokemon game is quite fascinating. It's so much more than I usually think it is. Great video 👍🏻

@jimmy-the-hedgehog1169 Год назад

I think this is one of the more known speedruns in pokemon mostly because of Keizaron's off the rails Speedrun. Dio!!!!!

@SERMareep2007 Год назад

Crystal doesnt have mareep. 0/10

@bebzunbebzun Год назад

True

@JakeDaSnake610 Год назад

@mark7799 Год назад

It doesn't have girafarig and remoraid either which doesn't make sense

@farmingsim9813 Год назад

It also doesn't have Girafarig so I can agree it's a 0/10

@tamerkoh Год назад

Never understood this attachment to one Pokemon line, lol. There are so many electric types in the game (my personal go to being Lanturn, water/electric and is my favourite mon), it's such a non-issue. And also, you can straight up buy Thunder Punch and give it to Kadabra/Alakazam for some seriously OP thunder sweeping, even without STAB.

@stringflow77 Год назад

No bad feelings, but I would have appreciated a heads up for using my footage in this video. My DMs are always open and I don't recall anyone having trouble reaching out to me.

@myloemike Год назад

My brother and I used to rewind old vhs tapes just to see our favourite hilarious scenes again and again. No shame! You are not alone!!

@Aztecky94 Год назад

The way you mispronounce Ecruteak is quite amazing

@ChipFreeSpace Год назад

2:54 i still this. Im closer to 30 than i am a kid.

@chadmckean9026 Год назад

7:57 can we PLEASE stop calling them dogs they are CATS!!! Raikou is clearly based on a saber tooth tiger, Entai is clearly a Lion

@PulseEffects Год назад

I agree tbh!

POV: You wanted to speedrun pokemon, but also wanted to play a Rythim game

@jenji333 Год назад

Sick, I've never run a pokemon game but I've watched some of them from quite a while to now and its crazy to know what's behind the rng manips. Awesome video

@Ashley.D Год назад

Sounds absolutely awful to have to do this in order to get competitive times, but it's interesting to learn about nonetheless

@listerineclean9258 8 месяцев назад

DW you weren't the only one when I was 10 i rewound legend of crystania like a million times to watch that dude transform into a sabertooth it was fucking awesome

@gothia1715 10 месяцев назад

Always wondered why the Gameboy Pokemon games felt much smoother for me than the DS games. The former running on 60 fps and the latter only on 30 explains it. While i like HGSS i couldnt enjoy it as much because they felt really sluggish with all that micro delay.

@Stevoisiak 8 месяцев назад

2:52 I've done it with digital shows and RU-vid videos where rewinding is easier.

@Masahane Год назад

Isn't the lottery manipulation specifically for the id of Kenya the spearow?

@WikTendoMania Год назад

Bruh!! That Xenoblade Chronicles background music. I can see you are a man of culture 👌🏼

@ThirtyDimensionedMissile Год назад

Speedruns are pretty goofy in gen 2

@Tangiiness Год назад

question, why is the rng manip to get the master ball necessary? could you not just use a normal pokeball and manip it to always catch the gyarados?

@PulseEffects Год назад

I imagine it's either slower or would require extreme precision.

@rtc2323 Год назад

MMMMMMMMMMMM Mechonis' Field OST is so good

@thatcloveplant Год назад

havent heard someone describe 30fps as better than 60 before lmao

@PulseEffects Год назад

Speedrunners live in a weird world haha.

@zeemgeem Год назад

interesting that RGBY GSC and RSEFRLG even run at 60 in the first place, given they're not really very animated most of the time. you feel it on the overworld scrolling, maybe, but in battles they probably could save battery with a frame cap

@PulseEffects Год назад

Yeah it was a weird choice tbh

@hippochans Год назад

actually the DS games do run at 60, but the inputs are only polled every other frame, essentially making the RNG manipulations a 30fps trick

@PulseEffects Год назад

@@hippochans I'd actually love to see where you found this information. Cause I know that the DS tries to run all its games at 60 FPS, but Pokemon needs to put their overworld FPS at 30 due to the effects they use in the game.

@TheBlackAbyss1 Год назад

The most surprising thing about this video is the fact that game freak would be willing to delay an unfinished game lol

Is the song in the intro from cross code?! So funny I have just been replaying it recently.

@chocobomaster210 Год назад

It's Shooting Star Summit from Paper Mario 64. Crosscode ost does have some similar vibes tho, great soundtrack.

@MyCloudGaming Год назад

@@chocobomaster210 oh wow the soundfonts are so similar!

Pulse, I recently subscribed and hit the bell because I love speedrunning and Pokemon and binged a few vids a while back. But this popped up in my notifs and I thought it was spam for a moment because of how clickbait the title felt I love your videos but this one title felt one "One Weird Trick in this speedrun may surprise you" away from being in my old email account sold to a spam email listing

strange how gens 4 and 5 run at 30fps despite being on better hardware

Been following This speedgame since 2013 and seen all of these discoveries made. Sadly it is kinda dead right now

@MateusSFigueiredo Год назад

Why not RNG manipulate catching the Gyarados

@PulseEffects Год назад

Not sure if it's faster. Either way, a manip hasn't been developed for it.

@gta71000 Год назад

They are NOT DOGS! 7:43 . Does NO ONE ever read or see how they act?! Even the shiny gives away what rhey are! Even another channel dug deep into this misinformation and they are actually Cats! Entai is a lion, suicune is a jaguar and raikou is a tiger. What Dogs have retractable claws hmm? None.and what dog has stripes like a tiger? None.what dog roars? None. Raikou's shiny color IS EVEN a dead giveaway what animal its a resemblance to. It literally turns orange with a white underside like tigers. Why cant people and yourubers get it through their thick skulls that "hey we should stop spreading this false information of what they are when all they shown are large feline behavoir from roaring, retracting and using claws when attacking, shiny color for one of them is straight up a tiger, and its already been factually proven they are cats and not dogs. Entei even roars for f* sake."

@ScarecrowSketch Год назад

"Volcanoes erupt when it barks. Unable to restrain its extreme power, it races headlong around the land." Cat's don't bark. Also other things than cats roar. Is entei a gorilla bc he can roar? They are legendary "beasts" they are a mix of a bunch of stuff.
