Yeah, like when Nidoking abuses the X Accuracy exploit.

"Glitchless" means "glitchless". There is a separate glitch category.

It’s not a glitch, it’s a feature

@@TheCandoRailfan not really. red bar and bike text skip are both glitches.

@@kasyu1101 Bike text skip is a glitch, red bar isn't.

At least the English versions. The Japanese Blue version is quite solid.

I remember both clearly. Yellow changed my world because "pikachu " could talk lmao

Patsy Patarchy amazing. Maybe. As long as you don‘t consider the inhumane hours the devs had to pull for that.

Just, wow

i just cant believe they dont allow the bike glitch but they allow the RNG manipulation... id argue thats way bigger of a glitch.... from slightly faster text to removing all important RNG.... i dunno... they both should be out of a glitchless run

so true

ESN 64 that’s having so many dice rolls go your way. I run red and yellow also. Enough crits and good random red bar scenarios. Runs could get SUPER low.

Joshua Bradberry can I see your runs?

@@spicywater8701 His runs are for the lady's eyes only lmao

Why didnt they use repel?

Its good for the youtube algorithm

Just dont be surprised when you also turn out to be the bare minimum.

I knew that since I was a kid wtf lol

Well, it's not like this is World of Warcraft with millions of people actively searching for new methods to speed up the game. There are only a small handful of people that actively look for new methods... like... 4 people.

And this is what we call a HALF A press

and how isnt this a glitch? surely it is?

@@MackenziiRivers its more of a exploit them a glich

It's pretty unbelievable that it's remained unbeaten for 2 years.

@@El_Kanto I'm gonna assume that my comment was the blessing this speedrunner needed to attain the new world record. You're welcome, new world record holder. Kidding aside, that's amazing by them.

For anyone curious, 25 runners currently have a better PB than the WR was back then :D

@@El_Kanto Gunner once said that sub 45 is impossible, but this is just five seconds more. Sub 45 is alive!

Hes my buddy

Seriously. Even the most basic things are broken. Critical hits and focus energy being completely broken, never thawing from being frozen unless your hit with a fire type move, the combined special stat making psychic types invincible and OP, stacking leech seed and toxic, the move counter, etc... Gen 1 is just an absolute broken mess

@@joshuah.4496 *badge* 👏 *boost* 👏 *glitch*

@@joshuah.4496 getting a stat boost is causing a glitch because when one stat lowers or gets raised, every other does by one

Ya it really isnt possible lol the debate on 'glitches' here proves it. Gen 1 is broken & not just for the glitches, let us remember the infamous 'ghost is strong against psychic!!' and the only ghosts are weak to psychic w/double poison typing 🤦‍♂️

The Nidorino that Prof. Oak shows you in the intro scene also has the cry of a Nidorina; it's literally impossible to play the game without encountering an error

The attention to detail and taking the time to explain the evolution of strats and routes on a level that both people that never played the games before or are pretty good at said game makes it very appealing :D Huge props to Salt

I'm right there with ya.

Ben eyyup

Probably because people either didnt know if it was accurate or people were only usually able to prove their times with the timer.

Noah Also, while not as important for accurate record keeping, seeing that ending time is such a rush as compared to the external timer.

Ingame timers are good enough, until all the records are ties.

Speed Demos Archive rules are so dated. It was good at the time but the speedrunning community has evolved so much that no one takes that website seriously anymore.

Right now the RE:2 Remake speed runs run off of an in-game timer since depending on the hardware it's played on can result in drastically differnet times...I believe.

I mean it's Technically true, 0% would be lower

Sandshrew is my favorite Pokémon. I didn't realize he was not in Red. My sister and I got the games at the same time, and she got Red and I got Blue. My whole life would have been different if we reversed the colors. Thank you for this wild moment I'm having!

@@ceruchi2084 lul until I this point I was sure no one would ever say Sandshrew was their favorite. But ggs I guess :b

@@dexxxvssecretlaboratoryhea2182 Honestly, after seeing someone who's favourite is Garbodor and another one who's favourite is Diggersby, Sandshrew doesn't surprise me at all by comparison

@@sephikong8323 Garboder isn't a bad Mon tho. He's pretty decent with attack and special attack. And sludge bomb is pretty good.

That was my favourite episode, holy shit man.

Ha, I just came straight from that video to this one. Great stuff.

@Chris Lowery Oh yeah, I forgot the honourable mentions... here's the five honourable mentions: 1. RNG 2. RNG 3. RNG 4. RNG 5. RNG

Random shiny rng, and people freaking out over it and wasting time.

makes sence

With RNG manipulation you don't have to be good.

Fair

Speedrunners are so paranoid

That "controversy" is dumb. I mean, an actual console can still be modified, and you could also just blur the video a little and say it's a console.

Consoles have background noise that can’t be spliced, emulators don’t. So for an rng heavy game like Pokémon it makes sense to make sure that spicing is impossible.

it's more to prevent TAS cheating

Also emulators may have _very_ slight mechanical differences that could give _slight_ advantages, even if it would be nigh impossible to spot. Forcing everyone to use the same thing in theory prevents that. If this problem actually exists or if the solution fixes anything is another topic that i myself am not familiar with.

Really bamboozled me who mostly listens to these videos instead of watching xD

i think that part is actually my favorite bit of editing in this video, i love the quadrants of extratricky's icon coming in, its so cool

It's already been almost 4 years, where has the time gone?

Mish Koz 4 Years?!? Holy shit.

it's still a thing, there running another game on February 12th

Mild Card the first time was the best

I think "Weed Runners" is a more fitting term here, lol.

Dan Inbox in heartgold in the ice path i sincerely believe theres is less encounter rates i swear i usually only hit like 2 or 3 swinub

Were there no repels in pokemon blue?

​@@munoobinater403 There were, but not at that point of the game.

Why did I click that timestamp

Is this still current?

Current is now 1:44:03 done by Pokeguy

Poke guy got a 1:44:03

isnt that basically how real life works?

@@randomnerd4600 Real life isn't a competition, ideally

Changes like this most of the time are voted in the community which means probably most people wanted this change so the majority would rather be happy then anything else

@@PangolinMontanari Then you're playing it WRONG!

it's almost as if the leaderboards are as unstable as the game's code

Sciver Zero shit happens, too many categories split the player base too much.

Soul Elavation, you right

@@soulelevation9696 Who gives a fuck if there are more speedrun categories. Clearly you've never worked towards a goal as insane as a world record, otherwise you'd be able to empathize with the original poster's point.

You just have an addendum that they were previous records using the old rules. A record is just history once it's beat, so whether it was a record on an old rule list or the new one doesn't matter if there are multiple new runs that beat it on either rule set. Your Old run may be delegitimized under the old rules, but that doesn't mean you aren't part of the history if it was a legitimate run under the old rules, it just means you have to Stay as a historical run, or get gud and compete for a new world record under the new rules, or beat your old record.

the former record isn't erased from history, this has never been a problem. Proof is the existence of this video and its view count.

We need an epic 5 year follow up video forsure

Saying a run is very optimised and no stone has been left unturned is ignorant. There is always a way especially with a run that long.

@@PoliPantev Have you looked at the WR run? Do you see where the timesave is concerning routing? Because every decision made in the run has been analyzed to death to the point that if you're aiming for WR your odds of completing a run are almost zero. The luck in the WR itself is incredible to the point that you could run the game for many, many years and not beat the WR time.

@@dstreetz91 its optimised for now. But finding new strats can lower it. And history has taught us, that more often than not a time can always be lowered.

​@@PoliPantev A new strat can happen, true. However, its very unlikely given how deeply analyzed it is at this point. The new strat must also be something big to compete with this insane WR run from Pokeguy, which lowers the chance even further. People did say it before and were wrong. But i think Pokeguy finally killed Red/Blue for good with this run.

Dude fucking same though. I have been binge watching these for hours.

Did for me now randomly. I barely even watch Pokemon

*minutes

sounded more like RNGesus became their bitch by the end of it

Depends on the game. A Celeste run has no RNG, whereas RPG speedruns are built around it because of the very mechanics of most RPG fights are built off of RNG.

@@samt3412 True but not to the same extent as Pokemon games are. Atleast most FF games have constant stat growths, minus a few. (looking at you, FF2)

Chris Beach thats pretty crazy

Thats actually very cool.

Wow! That’s awesome!

Mr. Cub Fan 415 aye ima die hard Cubs fan since 1998(: but yea he's a Kool dude from East Tennessee, we played ball together growing up, It made my day when I messaged him and he told me it was him. He was already aware of the video. Sadly he doesn't speedrun much anymore. It still blows my mind he had the WR and I didn't even know about it. I guess that's part in due to people drifting apart after high school.

Chris Beach :')

Chairman Meow I love this series but I don't know why because his voice is so monotone

I don't even know why I'm watching it but I can't stop.

I missed you too Austin.

Could you record a video of yall making out and ill send you each $300 over PayPal

victikirby15 How have you watched the whole thing already?

It's Determin*ant* Value, but yeah.

My boy flexin', yeah we need Megaman X

@MrNudood ...framerules.

i am not sure whether i understand that correctly: werster stopped, because the other 3 you named are grinding everyday to push the WR down further?

@@Flexy59 Pretty sure he meant that the grind at this point is so long and grueling that he understands werster's decision to say "I've reached the limit of what I want to do and I'd rather move to something else"

You should play Pokémon just for the experience. If you ever consider, I recommend Emerald for Game boy Advance, and Pokémon Platinum on Ds

@@carterferris07 i agree. emerald was my 1st pokemon game and it was simply cool.

Simply changes direction without even stepping onto a new tile. RANDOM ENCOUNTER

Yah it's 12:40am I have to go to work in 6 hours. I guess I can just stay up though ;p

Speedrun watch the video at at least 2x speed

1:27 for me now ◡̈ but totally worth it

don't tell your mom!

twinkie231 very much agreed. I've been following him for months now and he's never once disappointed

Its because he's a speedrunner (For punch out) himself so i feel i can trust him more

He beat it with 1:43:52 a day or two ago I think.

@@madvilliany1692 thanks for the update ahhhhhhhh cool

the world record right now is 1:45:21 held by pokeguy

Wilfred Cthulu The glitches were half the fun.

I agree, I love the glitches

When Gen I was actually out, most kids only knew about the MssingNo glitch. People would no doubt occasionally come across other glitches, but as a kid: 1) you wouldn't understand what happened (in some cases you might not even realise it was a glitch), 2) you wouldn't be able to replicate the glitch and 3) you wouldn't spread word about the glitch out further than your close friends because a lot of people didn't have Internet back then (and for the people who did, it was painfully slow). The best you could do is keep buying the gaming magazines in shops and hope one of the readers had discovered a glitch, written into the magazine writers about it, and the magazine decided to write about it. Basically, I'm trying to say, yes the games are full of glitches, but in practice as a child the experience was relatively glitchless. The games did, for the most part, play as intended. I know now that the games are quite ridiculous, but at the time it didn't seem like that. The thing that confused me most was that I understood the type chart even when I was very young, and seeing things like Razor Leaf be "Not very effective" on Gyarados, or Leech Life be "Super effective" on Zubat was confusing. But I could tell from the actual damage they did that the game was calculating the damage correctly, it was just the text that was wrong. And I got Pokemon Stadium a few years later and in that game they displayed the correct text. A gltich I did come across by accident was in Viridian Forest I died from poison the same time as the last Bug Catcher in Viridian Forest saw me. I fainted but the exclamation mark still appeared above his head. Then when I went back into Viridian Forest a wild Slowbro appeared immediately. I was like WTF at the time, and now i understand what happened, but at the time I had no idea what happened, why it happened, and how to do it again.

I played on an emulator at 15 with some knowledge a well known bug, the Ditto glitch, though yes you are right, it was glitchless my first play through (forgot that last bit)

The vast majority of people don't play Pokemon because it's a balanced RPG. Smogon-heads who farm natures and perfect EVs for fun have a hard time understanding why people loved those old ones so much.

Definitely not

Gets insane world record "Oh man." -Exarion

@MD7 isnt that just a glitch too? exploiting the console's limitations to have an advantage

@@gas-station-sushi it's more like goldeneye speedrunning to look at the ground to improve frame rate by not loading as much.

Problem being that you can’t completely prevent yourself from going to low HP all the time, while avoiding talking to the bike owner before you have the voucher is quite easy.

@@Janders3000 You can also argue that the sound "issue" is intentional, the game skips sounds if another sound is playing by design. The fact that this speeds up a run does not make it a glitch.

Elliot "Going to sleep" is not a figure of speech, so it doesn't make sense to use "literally" like that.

Talking to the bike shop guy without the voucher produces an unintended effect. Resetting and then doing inputs is intended and is used for generating "randomness", you are just doing the inputs that lead to the "randomness" generator generating what you want. In short instatext is taking advantage of an oversight while in rng manip you just know how the game works

Silvanus911 I mean the fish never left pallet town

Nicholas Ho But you can just start by putting them in the fight menu.

Genius

Anyone remerber Imax? He and Gunner were saw as rivals they both speedrunned Pokemon Yellow and they both have around the same people watching them with Imax having like 10ish more people than Gunner. What I know he did change from Yellow to X and Y speedrunnig and that preatty much killed him
