You say softlock, I say former League champion gives up Pokemon battling to pursue a life as a simple berry farmer.

That... makes this softlock surprisingly wholesome
I want Ethan to be happy farming berries with his Caterpie friend!

Farming, really? Man of your talents?
Some scruffy, homeless looking kid with a caterpillar:
*unloads 240 berries on the counter, many rolling off and falling all over the ground
1 ultra ball please.
my god that image is painful lmao
@@ruby_240 don’t forget this kid just under a year ago beat the champion
then imagine the episode where u get the ball and u fail to catch something lol
Only to realize that this scruffy homeless kid beat the champion.

Day 33, the NPCs have accepted me to be one of their own, believing I am just a misplaced bugcatcher.
Day 44, I think Caterpie has started to realize how dire our situation is...
@JD Kathrineberg You mean like the hidden shop inventory that prevents you from selling more then 99 items of the same kind to a shop?
@@SeedlingNL prevents you from selling more than 99 items at once right? There is an escape, right?
Day 99, wait, There’s a pokemon without moves!!!! I’m free!!!
Oh wait, no no no no!!!
He used quick attack!
I thought my escape from this was finally here!
SeedlingNL
It’s 99 at a time, since 99 is the max stack in this game. There’s no actual restriction on how many items can be sold.
Caterpie: master i'm hungry
Trainer: 5 more months and we'll be out of this wretched place, son.
Or you could just feed him with Ice berries you monster!
@@MrChompenrage NO
SHUT UP AND EAT YOUR SQUIRREL MEAT!!!!!! Thumbs up if you get the reference

being trapped with caterpie isn’t a softlock its just a simulator of a bug catchers daily life

ShadowFox105870 The equivalent of being issued a pea shooter while on the front lines of a real world military. With a single round.
And then a trainer comes by to take their hard earned money. Rip
Now I want someone to actually make a dedicated gaming channel for this. Just 240 daily streams of "hey guys, today we pick up another berry, alright see you tomorrow!"
Do it
how have you not started this yet? and if so how many more berrys ya got to go?
if you did it, you would be close to ending now
Theoretically if they started doing it when you posted this comment, they'd finish now.
Imagine that the pokemon breaks out of the ball lol

Hey Pikasprey! A little late but I thought I'd say it anyway. It seems GameFreak WAS aware that trading between foreign copies of Pokemon would cause data corruption but they didn't actually set any flags within the game to prevent it! I was flipping through the manual for the original Pokemon Silver out of boredom (yes, I have a genuine copy, thanks to my roommate hording stuff and later giving it away). On the page that details the trading sequence, it specifically states, "Also, please do not attempt to trade or battle with a foreign version of Pokemon or your data will be corrupted." So they definitely knew of the game breaking bug but I guess they thought it would be next to impossible for foreign copies to interact. Then they stuck a note in the manual, hoping that would keep it from happening. Certainly not the first time that's happened and likely not the last. Rather interesting, don't you think?
thannk you for this info :)
Maybe the localization team noticed it after it was too late to fix the problem.
@@scienceviking4490 That's entirely possible. Or perhaps they thought it wasn't worth fixing.
StarShine480 Maybe that manual wasn’t written by Game Freak?
Well battling people internationally or having two people with having the same game but a different version isn't very common back in 1998 compared today. So I'll give them a pass on this one
Pikasprey Yellow: This game won't let you do anything until you spend eight months of booting up it up every single day, just to pick the single berry you are allowed until you can trade in enough of them to buy your first item.
Mobile gamers: Sounds awesome, where can I download it?
Old school runescape players. Spend two months of in game play time to grind skills and quests. Get certain unlock that allows you to make money while training a combat skill. Spend another 60 hours getting to near max level. Use the money gained from said 60 hours of training to get a high tier weapon. Then go to a different training spot, and for 10 hours straight grind to max level. But boy, you ain't done yet. That dope cape you got for getting max level? You can trim it. You can add an attractive trim to the edges. But you need to max out another skill for that trim. So start cooking those sharks because that is another 24 in game hours.
And that is how I got my range cape and trimmed it.
cody blea you get rewarded for getting 99 in things now? Wow
cody blea Hunting.... then fletching for the trim. I spent/wasted so much time on that game.

It would be more cruel to replace the caterpie with a low-level Mew and teach it 4 HM moves not containing surf and fly. This way the softlock only works, because you cannot forget HM moves, a feature to prevent softlocks.
Omg.....
You're a genius
I think flash should be excluded as well, otherwise it's possible to keep spamming flash against the gravelers in Victory Road and wait for them to miss when using self-destruct in order for Mew to gain enough exp to battle one of the trainers and get some money.
@@AleksKwisatz Good point.
@@AleksKwisatz nope, the 1/256 Glitch was fixed in Gen 2
@@DaGamingCore But I reckon you can still make the opponent's move fail using flash, as it decreases the enemy's accuracy, and self-destruct and explosion are the only moves that deal damage to the user even if they fail.

You might think you could destroy your game by throwing it into a volcano but, you know, I considered that as well.
You see, this is actually forbidden due to the fact that both the Gameboy Color and our Japanese copy of Pokémon Crystal are made out of Nintendium. What this means is that they will not burn up in the magma, and instead the game will still be playable.
It isn't made out of a fake metal!
They use a burn heal.
Ice Berries heal burns. You can only get Ice Berries. Not even Volcanoes can destroy it

How to make yourself unable to continue the game
Step 1: Beat the Game
half the game.
Pretty sure that most players are getting softlocked by not understanding Japanese first
Don't underestimate the power of randomly selecting options.
When I was a kid, during a vacation in Turkey my parents bought me a bootleg English Crystal version. The thing is, back then I couldn't read a single word of English.
Well that didn't prevent me from finishing the game lol.
I think that kind of lock is called language barrier.
I learned to play Pokémon before I could read, learning the bottom option was “switch Pokémon” and the top was “keep Pokémon in”
after 240 days of being stuck in this softlock, you'd understand it
Meanwhile people who didn't have a localisation in their langugage: "Noob."
Make sure to catch a shiny caterpie too so that you don't persuade the player to reset
Player: I should reset the game, but that shiny is real tempting.
No no no no no no no no no no no no
I’d just save next to the berry tree if I did that, so that they knew there is technically a way out.
AH!
Even a shiny Caterpie ain't worth 240 days, or 5760 hours
Being trapped with a Caterpie isn't a choice, it's a way of life.
Day 239: Internal battery died. The game can be played but there will be no time events
Pikasprey with 239 ice berries: it... WHAT???
This is Gold! My internal battery died too. Can't do Bug Catching Events. Ha ha!
Gold/Silver/Crystal actually WIPE the save file once the battery dies... making this even more infuriating if it occurs!
@@nitrax8629 well at least it still technically frees you, I guess?
Cartridge battery: Replace me properly or I will delete your save file
@@nitrax8629 at that point, I would consider that a win

'Hold my gameboy.'
Speaking of softlocks that you can do after beating the Champion, I'd really like it if you talk about that famous one caused by the Meister's trade in Gen 4. He wants a Finneon for his Magikarp. You need a Finneon with Surf (the move is needed to reach him), no fishing rods (Finneon requires a Good Rod, so get your Finneon from another game), nothing else that can learn Surf, nothing that has Teleport or can learn Fly, no Rare Candies, and no Poké Balls. Do the trade, save your game, and now you've just trapped yourself on that island in Route 226.
It's a super obvious softlock and I'm personally still shocked that Game Freak let this slip through the cracks. You don't even need to get rid of your money or other items like practically every other softlock here.

Narus Ferree or doing it, buying an ultra ball, and the ball breaks in the first try
@@Tigerman4545 You can just save before you use the ball and reset if it fails.
I appreciate adding the english version on the side and not just the Japanese, extra work that you don’t get much from but makes the viewing better. Keep it up!
My headcanon is that the male character was walking through so much walls that he got hurt and was sent to his mom, and his sister came in his place
Here's what you missed out: Because time is RTC-based, there's a 32.768KHz crystal oscillator found in the cartridge. Just crack open the cartridge, desolder the crystal, and put a correct-voltage waveform that is much faster than 32.768KHz on the XTAL IN and you can skip day-by-day with just a series of pulses.
Yes, but again at that point you're having to use something outside the game to even make the game playable in the first place. Might as well get a cheating device to escape
I could... think of at least 27 separate ways in which to solve the problem with less hassle. At least buying a japanese copy of a game doesn't require me to open the game up. Buying game genie would be easier. Technically, booting the game up daily would be easier, it don't take much active time, only passive time. You could manually change the save data if you're opening up the cartridge anyway. You might even be able to trigger the walk through walls glitch, and that's only less good if you really really dislike a negligible chance for your character to turn female. The list goes on.

My first video game ever was the original English release of Pokemon Blue on the Gameboy color. I'll have you know I didn't even have the knowledge of how to leave the house because my young mind couldn't comprehend what the 2D representation of a door was supposed to look like. I spent hours wandering around that room looking for an exit that was right in front of me. My parents had to call my older cousin to stop by and help me solve the puzzle. Of course, after seeing the solution I never had any more trouble with the franchise but that first experience haunts me to this day.
Oh God that is so adorable
holy moly
Wow I thought I was the only one. I literally broke down in tears as a 5 year old because I couldn’t figure out how to get out of the house. My dad eventually figured it out for me but man, what a way to start my Pokémon adventure.
A similar thing happened to me in bellsprout tower in crystal where I thought the stairs were barrels
Don't feel too bad. When I first played Pokemon Sapphire when I was 5, I spent 3 days having no clue how to leave the truck.
When he said, "to give you an idea of how long 240 days is..." I immediately thought he was going to say he started working on this video at (insert date), implying that he did this. Sounds like a Pikasprey thing to do.
Actually this sounds like something you'd hear on John Oliver.
240 days of picking berries is a long ass time. ...And I know this... because... we've actually done it.

Make sure the caterpie is shiny, so that they have a reason to try to save it. MWAHAHAHAH
melehu I think you will find a replacement shiny within the minimum of 240 days, if you restart right away. Also, if it’s shiny you still have to trade it, and as we saw, trading looks incredibly annoying.
"Also, if it's shiny you still have to trade it"
Why would you need to trade it?
At that point I wouldn't care anymore tbh.
MarioManTj so you would keep a shiny caterpie on a game without any good Pokémon, almost no money, and no items?
I'm asking for a reason why you would trade it, I never said anything about keeping it. Can you explain the situation in which you would need to trade it?

In attempting this softlock pick, one will more than likely open your game, boot it up, pick a berry, and save and quit. Repeat that 239 times for 240 berries worth 1200 pokedollars. If you rush off to buy an ultra ball to catch something and forget to save, you'll be able to power off the console without saving and be brought back to the last time you saved, i.e. the day you picked your 239th berry.
Abstraction Distraction actually the last time you saved would be the last tile of victory road due to having to save as you moved through
Back in the old generation, there was also the option of mystery gifting. So you would only need another friend with a game boy, or if you have a N64, a copy of pokemon stadium 2. I'm certain that the item you get from mystery gifting would randomly choose an item for your localization, AKA, you can mystery gift with different region games to get items that won't corrupt your game. Hope this is another factor to look into for future soft locks!
Ethan becomes a trans girl, isolates herself in the League with her trusty Caterpie friend and becomes a peaceful berry farmer, living out her life in comfort surrounded by familiar people in a beautiful land. Though she insists she is on her way to escape, she is happy.
I love this
Living out the cottagecore life as she should be
@@hornetsilksong Glad to see people respecting trans pronouns here!
the trans rep we deserve!!
Why do you think the unchosen player in the remakes has a maril? Considering one in three male Azurils become female upon evolution?
> Gen 2 is the one gen people DON'T ask for softlock videos on
> Pikasprey makes a softlock video about Gen 2
Stay awesome, Pik. :3
I think it's because of the Barry's
@@ddsjgvk Oof. Imagine that. Once you'd have escaped the Crystal softlock situation, you'd have 240 fines over 1.000.000 pokedollars each.
how to make this slightly more cruel: make sure the caterpie is a shiny
You mean a LOT more cruel. Otherwise, nothing really stops one from just starting over.
Ouch...right in my shiny hunter heart...
being trapped with a caterpie doesn't seem all that bad. Just look at that cute lil buggo boy, he's adorable! It's more a reward for beating the game than a prison!
This guy is the embodiment of the phrase " just because you *can* doesn't mean you *should* "
I'm surprised how you managed to incorporate so much obscure seemingly useless trivia into setting up this trap.
Pikasprey: The Walking Pokemon Wiki
So all I have to do to turn into a girl is walk into some walls? Why did no one tell me this earlier
ikr it woul've skipped me a gender change
nice to see you here osu man
If you were already a girl and you went through walls, I assume you would turn into a boy
Cause you'd end up in the backrooms
Actually it removes the braces from your peperroni pizza
Your character just transitioned into a better life :3
easy solution to the trading problem: add the setup step "cut your link cable in half"
Passable Gen 2 Pokemon Wall: "What's your gender?"
Player: "Yes."
Enby rights
"Just pretend that everything is fine and add this to the list of nonsense you're seeing in this video."
The best part of this video.
I love how in the middle of this your character just transed their gender.
Pikasprey: It would take 240 real-life days to escape this softlock
Animal Crossing players: Hold my beer
Pikasprey has blessed us with another softlockpicking video. Thank you, kind sir.
"Blessings of Julianos upon thee"
I've broken the lock. In generation 2 games you can duplicate Pokemon an unlimited number of times. Just give the berry to the Caterpie and give it the ice berry. Here's how you do the glitch, save in front of a PC, then deposit a Pokemon, click change box, when it says, "SAVING DON'T TURN OFF THE POWER", turn off the power. Turn the game back on and you have the Pokemon in your PC and the other in your party, both have the same held item. You can do this an infinite number of times, so really, you only need 1 ice berry.
@@Mr.Phresh can't deposit your only Pokemon to have an empty party though
@@ParkaPal oh wow! How dumb of me. That's very true. How could I have not realized that. Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
"Day 239:
Dear Diary,
I've almost made it. Tomorrow, I'll escape this accused island... I'll be able to see my wife and kids again. Thank Arceus... I was beginning to think that this Caterpie to whom I've been shackled for these past 8 months, kept looking at me like it was going to eat me. Unable to eat the Ice Berries that are the key to my freedom, I can imagine its hunger. I must admit, I too have been tempted to partake of them. But no... To waste one day is to invite death into my soul. One day further from my home and happiness. I can't do it... I mustn't.
Why did I put myself through this..? Why can I not simply ignore or resist a challenge that Pikasprey fellow puts forth online?
I'll find a way... a way to make him pay.
I'll find a means to trap him... I'll get my revenge..."
Underrated comment.
*next thing you know, a wild sneasel appears and uses thief to take the berry*
"Day 240:
Dear Diary,
The battery died."
*maniacal laughter intensifies*
And then the shop clerk says "So, you want to sell these 230 Ice Berries?"
Day 108, I sold 99 berries and NPCs started thinking i am just a glitched bugcatcher.

I wanna know
Who the hell looked at this feature where you have to hold 3 specific buttons on the title screen and then enter a specific unique password and thought
"You know what, this feature is too accessible, lets hide it behind two extra button presses"
It's most likely a dev feature that was left in the international releases for some reason, since it's not in the Japanese version at all
Pokemon Crystal: *Exists*
Pikasprey: "I will spend 240 days trapped with a Caterpie becuase I can."
