@@JoshStrifePlays No. Japanese Pokemon Blue became Western Pokemon Blue and Red. (Changing Pokemon so you have to trade) But you implying Green released alone in Japan is what actually irked me. The first Pokemon game that got released "alone" is blue. It's pedantic and I don't wanna come across as a know-it-all condesending brick. I just came to expect more from your videos. I mean that as a compliment. I still give it a like. edit: didn't notice it got pinned and your second answer. doesn't change anything tho

@@defmore5099 you like getting worked up on a very small thing don't you? It's a gaming series "was it good" not "a full history of.."

@@defmore5099 Pokemon Green was only released in Japan, it was changed to Blue to appeal to the American audience since red and blue are the colours of the American flag.

It hurt in my soul when I saw that…

I used Mew as my HM slave too, tbh. Having multiple team members taking up valuable team slots isn’t worth the trouble. If it takes a mythic to condense the problem to just one, then so be it. All hail Gen 7, when they finally figured out it was a terrible mechanic and got rid of it at last

@@SerDerpishHow did it change for Gen 7? I haven’t played since Gen 4.

@@Vadnarr True but when I watch a video more than one hour long I expect the content creator to get the facts really straight, and with mistakes like this I'm no longer sure that's the case

@@Linkale_ this video has a bunch of smaller errors here and there. But most of the stuff he says is correct.

I always chose the water type. I missed the first generation, but I would've chosen Squirtle just like I chose the water type in the Pokémon gold. Blue being, my favorite color would've helped. But I always considered the fire type to be power, the water type to be wisdom, and the grass type to be courage. mainly because the fire type always seem to be the easiest play through, the grass type the hardest and the water type is somewhere in the middle. The Triforce also had a part of that,

Right!? My next tat is even going to be a squirtle!

Omg I lived to age 39 without realizing the "Schildkrötenpanzer". 😂

I didn't even get the choice, Blue was all they had lol When Gen 2 came out Silver was all they had, same with Gen 3 and Sapphire, Gen 4 and Diamond

I didn't go into it expecting to have a life long Blastoise addiction either

Great Ball is actually the better ball. Higher catch rate and only need to get them to 50% instead of 30%

@@apersonontheinternet8006never knew that. And the legendaries in gen 1 are probably the easiest to catch in any gen. I never struggled to catch them all easily.

Why would you regret the correct choice? It makes no sense.

Brother!

Did you know, if you traded your pokemon to a different game, power leveled it in said game, and then traded it back, it would also still listen to you, even though you didn't actually train it?

You could also change which color the game used for the graphics if you pressed the buttons when starting up the game

I didn't know that. I was wary of overleveling for that very reason.

​@@skycloud4802Yeah the whole your non-traded pokemon disobey you thing started in sword and shield I think

​@Reece8u in red and blue, overleveled pokemon, traded or not, would disobey you. The threshold was higher for nontraded, and the chance lower, but it was still there. It wasn't until G/S, possibly yellow before then, that your own Pokémon would never disobey. This was added back into the game with Sword/Shield.

I never wanted to do Mew/Missingno/Rare candy glitches cos I was more scared of breaking both my Gameboy and Pokémon Yellow and getting grounded.... even at 16 when I got em heh

And then teach it Cut.

I remember, peak Pokémon craze, my cousin knew a boy in his neighbourhood who had a GameShark. We cycled round to the boy's house, knocked on his door, and stood there while he put a Mew into my game. It's stuff like that that makes the 90s a special time in gaming. The mythology of the Gen 1 games goes far beyond what was actually coded into the games.

​@@CakeorDeath1989Mew at level 5 starting game was legit. Even making him more stronger because we traded him and get the boosted exp

So true

​@@ADUSNit's because your brain is obviously too big to enjoy the smaller things in life.

@@BubbyBold Blinded. In terms of rpgs, pokémon is boring as fuck, stole everything from SMT. I understand the nostalgia and liking the monsters themselves, but as games they're a joke. Sorry someone disagrees with you.

@@ADUSN It is a pretty tired formula but I thought Arceas was preety fun. I was more poking fun at your condescending anger at people enjoying a video game.

Makes perfect sense

Also, ditto can change it's genetics if I remember properly

​@@viewer6152Naw, GameFreak is wrong!

Didnt the books say at the abandoned mansion that?

Caught Mew back in the day using it. The reason it works is that trainers face South by default, so you have time to fly away which freezes the state of the game in a fight sequence. You reinitialize the sequence of stepping and dialogue when you allow another trainer to meet you somewhere else, but one state entry does not get re-initialize -- the one that says you're in a fight on whatever route you just left by flying. So, when you step back on that route (no matter how you get there or where you enter) the game launches a fight. You face Mew because Mew shares the number the game uses to store a specific trainer and pokemon -- that youngster outside of Celadon city... When I saw the explanation, my jaw just dropped. That fly away glitch works in many ways. There are at least 2 or 3 dozen variations that yield different pokemons. There are a lot of glitches in these games because different stuff shares the same references to save space. 😂

Agreed.

Lol I remember always having to turn down the music when I got to mt moon that music still creeps me out

So true. Even coming back to Fire Red and Leaf Green there’s a unique quality to Kanto. It really was the Wild West of Pokémon before they nailed down more of the world and its lore.

The most tragic thing in a Pokémon game is Pokémon Z not releasing

@@usrnmntavlibl2666 And to add to that, the battle frontier not being in ORAS and the trash remakes for BDSP, first two that spring to mind

Bruh I would abuse the hell out of that glitch with rare candies when I was a kid.

and I said "yes"

Exploits utilizing broken code by the creators is fair game because it is the creators fault for not checking and fixing that potential bug. I get that an older game would have deadlines to meet so that the game can be sold on time, which meant that you couldn't fully playtest it and bugs are bound to be present. I still think it is fair game to abuse the bad coding put their by developers. Hell, there are cheat codes developers give to you if you beat or unlock hidden stuff in the game and a lot of old games had them (Timesplitters was one that did this.) However if you are using game shark or any online scripts/codes intended for hacking a game, you have effectively cheated yourself out of playing the game fairly from when the code was written.

@@GDC2127 If you've ever had programming experience you'd probably rethink the idea of it being their fault. Bugs are simply part of coding. They're pretty much unavoidable in software such as a game. If they knew what Pokémon would become I'm sure they would've done some extra bug fixing and general polish but it worked out regardless. I only agree that utilizing exploits is fair game so long as it's purely singleplayer. But deliberately ruining the experience of other players by using a clearly unintended exploit is on the player if they choose to do it. They shouldn't be permanently banned for it but they don't have much grounds for complaint if they're temp banned or otherwise punished. Especially since most ToS regarding online play specify utilizing exploits isn't allowed; but often times this isn't enforced as it's generally easier to just fix the issue.

@@MintyLime703 "I'm sure they would've done some extra bug fixing and general polish" naw for at least the next 2 generations they seemed to have just not bothered testing things. By gen 3 they were defiantly a worldwide success. It is one thing to find obscure things no tester in their right mind would ever find, it is another to find stuff like the missing no glitch here that is so easily repeatable that any amount of testing probably would have found it.

Not Pokemon X and Y literally taking place in France

3 months late... but they didn't completely step away from real world references. They're just less frequent and less obvious, ignoring the fact that certain Generations of Pokémon games take place in regions based on real world locations like Black/White that depict (to some extend) United States of America or (New York more specifically) with their Castelia City. X/Y are based upon an interpretation of France. But beyond that? Some random NPC in some dark, creepy corner that'll make a vague hint at some real-world location.

@@MLPIceberg in original lore it was a post-apocalypse? Earth was overrun by pokemons and people were trying to survive after they nucleared most of the land. but can be wrong.

Also he mentions that giving a drink to one of the guards is optional, but I think it is the only way to enter Saffron City. Then also on the island gym he says you have to beat all the trainers to get to Blaine, but you could just solve the riddles on the machines to pass.

pretty sure tackle was also 35bp in the older games as well not 40

Also ice isn't weak to electric

Swift can miss in the Japanese versions of Gen I. It was fixed in the English versions. So he's kinda mixing in Japanese-only bugs into it all I guess?

Another couple of errors I noticed - if memory serves, there's a person you can talk to in Celadon City mansion who will give you tea for free, so you don't have to buy a drink at the department store. Also the Vermillion Gym, you don't have to fight the trainers if you interact with the quiz machines in the corner of each room and get the question right.

Tetris made people play hours. Try harder

emulating i can understand that, finally... cause i'm halfway through it, with 34h... i'm playing Ys Origin in Steam with my 3rd character and I have less hours total lol also metroidvanias take less time than i think will be necessary if i want at least 6 pokemon 99 without glitching

Pokemon Red and Blue were the reason my mom bought rechargeable AA batteries.

There were handheld RPGs like the Final Fantasy Legend series that came out long before Red/Blue. But there’s no denying this was a portable gaming phenomenon.

This game taught me to read 😂

Makes sense and now imagine all the other trainers fainting as you beat them (only the game is unable to display it) No wonder Nurse Joy is advertising her healing Pokemon as free. She makes enough from robbing fainted trainers. Next: think about the fact that a potion heals less (20 HP) than fresh water(50 HP) and is 50% more expensive. Maybe a potion is 2/5 of a glass of fresh water sold for max profit: fresh water: 200 potion: 300 margin: potion - (fresh water *2/5) = 300 - (200*(2/5)) = 300 - 80 = 220 profit per potion or 550 per bottle of fresh water. I wonder if Nurse Joy is supplying the Potions on sale as well and making some more money on the side or does she own the Pokemart ? I bet nurse Joy is the true underground king no one will talk about as she is just too inluential/rich to allow anyone telling the truth. My question wold be: What is she using the money for ? Real estate ? Research ? Archeology ? Warfare ?

Yo stop your roll. What the fuck? You've got to be kidding me.

Wow…I never realized this!

Thank you. I noticed there were different battle starts but I thought it was a random/special fight thing.

I knew that for sure as a kid because when I was doing Cinnibar Island coast glitch to get pokémon level 178, I would always get the single rotation for the BIG ONES and double rotation for random standard level pokémon. I had some kind of PTSD of the single rotation afterwards because of glitch pokémon eventually fucking up my save.

Even the remakes on the GBA do this.

But why did they need to save on box in the RAM? Couldn't they all be in the save RAM?

@@FaelCacilhas probably speed because changing box wouldn't be done as often as sending to box and changing box wasn't as real time demanding as sending to box.

@@FaelCacilhas You know that the ram of the gameboy is so small, right?

@@sebastianaliandkulche Yes, I'm wondering why one box needs to be on it, instead of zero. The only time I remember it being used was on the PC, why is it needed on the RAM?

@@FaelCacilhas The reason is that if no boxes were in RAM, you would need to save the game every time you catch a new Pokemon. Without doing this, you could of course save the new Pokemon into the active box, but it would create a situation where the Pokemon storage data and the story progress are not synchronized. You would also need to recalculate the checksums every time you catch a new Pokemon in order to protect against data corruption (or cheating). In other words, it's just far simpler to keep one box in RAM and the rest in save RAM from both GameFreak's perspective and the player's.

😂 Never thought of that!

Yeah, I am really curious what he meant. Doubly so because he said you didnt have to do it ... and then didnt mention an alternative.

@@adud6764 that’s what I thought! I was so confused, I knew it was mandatory.

@@justanotheryoutubechannel this video is riddled with small mistakes and weird moments. I have written a couple of other comments about it but youtube is hiding it.

i think this is because while mandatory to get the drinks to the guards you can either get them early from the vending machine or a bit later on from an NPC, so it is more of a timing thing rather than an optional thing.

Had to scroll way too far for this. Not super important but the fact he especially states that this is the only gym where you have to fight the majority of trainers made me wonder.

@@serosilence The majority of trainers?

@@MegaSpideyman that’s what he said in the video

it's very obvious by watching his ''gameplay'' he has never actually played the game before. also not the only mistake, the instant text glitch is very susceptible to being cancelled. so much in fact it isn't even used in speedruns because of how many resets it would take. yet he says ''and it will remain this way until you talk to him again''

All my plays as adult I take on all those trainers cos exp/gold and I'm like the complete opposite of a speedrunner

Great comment, nostalgia is a wonderful thing.

Just ironic that Charizard cannot learn fly in Gen 1 ... Such a pity. I was bluntly reminded on my last playthrough xD

Not all ice pokemon were water in gen 1, there were also Articuno (still weak to electric because flying) and Jynx, but i admit it took me until misdreavous in gen 2 to realize ghost wasn't actually weak to psychic.

​@@YndrilTrue true, but in gen 1 psychic was immune to ghost so it is a very easy mistake to make.

And we were playing Pokemon red and blue on Gameboy color long after.

I'm pretty sure gen1 pokemon is in the top 10 best selling games of all time.

If I am not mistaken Pokemon was the first game that was solely released for the Gameboy unlike all the other games which were retrain version you could alternatively play on your home console. This game single handedly made people buy handhelds. Even if it was the only game they played on it.

@@pandaman1331 you're mistaken. Plenty of games were released as game boy exclusives. The game boy was selling gangbusters for for almost a decade before pokemon came out.

@@skillganon606 Interdasting

@@indieWellie Not sure if that really counts, but I'm glad someone did the hack!

Dodrio agrees

@@nicks4802 Well, one of the heads agrees.

I hate the way fire red leaf green removed personality from the sprites. Their poses are more basic, the colors are muted, etc. Really disappointing

Because back in the original Japanese version, they were just monsters.

@Sgt. Sega Its actually because the spirits were designed first, the official art came later. A lot of stuff was decided as they went. From gen 3 onward it was the opposite, they did concept art first. Trying to maintain consistency between between various mediums is why they seem so bland, the sprites/models have to look like the anime and vice versa.

Word, makes me feel special I was there as kid when all of this started. Red/Blue was best games ever. At least for those kids who had been there at the time

While true, how many people actually read manuals back in the day? I mean, I did, because I'd always get a game from a store and read the booklet on the way home in the back of my parents car. But it's an RPG. Usually it's expected that lore is in-game. Especially something as important as a final boss rush and how one becomes champion.

@@TXFDA Everyone always did, that's something we all experienced as kids.

@@TXFDA not really, a lot of games back then sacrificed in-game text for gameplay aspects, so much so the original zelda is almost impossible to beat without the manual, because the game was meant to be played alongside it. many other games at the time did the same, and pokemon did that for the lore.

​@@gowford Comparing Zelda 1 and Pokemon R/B/G doesn't make sense though. Zelda was 64kb while Pokemon was 512kb, 8 times the size. There's also 10-year time gap between those two games... Pokemon came out the same year the N64 was released, and games like Diablo, Tomb Raider, Super Mario RPG, etc. were released in the same year, all with very heavy in-game lore via cutscenes and dialogue. You should compare it to Link's Awakening, which was also on the Gameboy, was only 3 years older than Pokemon, and... also had its story and lore within the game via dialogue. You could understand the entire story and beat the game without ever touching a manual. So yeah, I wouldn't group Zelda 1 and Pokemon within the same timeframe.

Contested only by Link’s Awakening I’d say!

exactly. this is the comment i was looking for

Gameboy color but German texts

Oh, we all knew. The show and games were immediately a huge hit and dominated at the time.

I think RBY in particular are really good at showing the player without telling a lot of the time, and a lot of it makes sense, even to a kid.

Ah, the power of having enough free time.... I wish I still had that.

Psychic pokemon are however immune to ghost... well to lick more precisely since that's the only ghost type attack that checks for type resistance.

Whoa crazy!

You mean every ghost pokemon in Gen 1 Its a pity: my Gengar would be awesome if it weren't part poison type....

gen 1 things

If they weren't poison type I think they'd have fixed the ghost type problems. They likely tested, and super effective from psychic was the signal they were looking for.

Nah, Blue is just a dickhead. I think you're meant to assume he's there to catch ghost type pokemon (as you probably are)

So, I thought this comment was interesting and went back to see if the Japanese version held any hidden meaning like this, but, unfortunately... BUTT is just being a feisty jerk lol. 「なにしにきたんだよ？おまえのポケモンしんだのか？ ……あほか？いきてるじゃん だったらせめてせんとうふのうにしてやるか！ かかってこいよ！」 The "your Pokémon aren't even dead" is more like, "you have no reason to be here--are you stupid or something?" and the "I can at least make them faint/unable to battle! Bring it on!" just feels like plain old trash talking. Not saying the theory is wrong. (WHERE'S YOUR RATICATE, BUTT?) Just wanted to share some info from the original version. Love from Japan.

But the "You have no reason to be here" line would also imply that one of his Pokemon has died and that it was his reason to go to the tower? Love that theory, 100% on board with it :D

@@christianboeckh3449 it could just imply that in general that’s why people come here. It doesn’t necessarily imply that’s why he’s here.

@@wompwomp9946 I'm not native or nearly fluent, but the feeling I get reading the JP text is that the rival does seem to be genuinely curious about whether you're in the area because one of your pokemon died. Albeit he is speaking to the MC in a jerky way still. Though him wanting to beat up your pokemon can kinda go either way imo.

@@pascalsimioli6777 See, stuff like this is why I liked the Megaman Battle Network series so much. The rumors were usually true in those games.

So many dead double A's

The rumor I heard was that if you listened to the lavender town music for too long it would turn you racist

Just that there are many factual errors in this episode and there are other youtubers which are more accurate.

Same. It's crazy when I see posts about newer pokemon games being "this many years old" and people saying they themselves feel old now, meanwhile we were there since it's inception which would make us ancient

Hasn't really changed in all that time from what I've seen. I started on Gen 1 and stopped at Gen 3. So much wasted potential, imagine a Pokemon MMO with a large complex world, my God.

​@@Acemanveryspecial Idk if pokemon would work as an mmo? Pokemon go already did that too, kinda

Npc comment be like

@@solsystem1342 It would have to be complex and large scale, something akin to FF14/WoW but with a bigger world to work.

I got the questions right, but still fought every trainer, nice xp. Never skip a gym trainer, unless you speedrunning.

I was wondering if Josh knew that or not lol, he’s usually so thorough - I had no idea about the glitched PC in the hotel

I'd chalk it up to the Gym Guide at the entrance not saying anything about the quiz machines. That, and the machines themselves not looking like anything the player can interact with. Heck, the only reason I figured that out as a kid in FR/LG was because the machines had much more distinct sprites.

@@risel56 a friend had to tell me lmao I had no idea and I usually battled for the xp anyway

@@Maskuslol yeah and in that case skip the gyms entirely in some games lol.

yeah but the glitch wasnt discovered until 2002 😂
