I wonder how much this speedrun would be impacted by modern experience mechanics? Getting EXP from catching Pokémon and everything in the team gaining EXP (thus allowing you to stack up evolutions as you play and Blastoise would get stronger with all the extra EXP). I know Let's Go is kind of similar in this regard but still, it would be interesting 😊
I absolutely love fire red r2 it’s my favorite Pokémon speedrunning category to watch, in fact I’m literally watching Gunner run it as I type this comment. I’m psyched you made this vid!!
"Ugly paint"?? Bruh, the camo-print Safari Balls are one of my fave ball designs. Although I guess the plain lime green ball seen in the small in-game sprite isn't as awesome.
So what you are saying is, *theoretically* there are stupid timesaves for catching certain pokemon if you are nagito komaeda specifically, but otherwise why try and save time on catches when there are more likely timesaves elsewhere If I had to run this I would probably be the idiot trying to throw pokeballs at stuff like snorlax and chansey
I kinda wish you'd gone a little bit into what it means to "not be worth catching" earlier in the video, but eventually I caught on that you meant it was just too slow. But maybe I'm just tired- otherwise, it was a great video!
Any speedrun category that requires you to plan on your feet is going to be an exciting category to watch. Maybe I'll start watching some FRLG runners... Also now I'm curious just how different the LeafGreen route is!
Unless my brain blanked the part of the video, did you say any of the times people have actually gotten? Would have liked a section showing the history of the times and how fast people have gotten it down to and maybe a breakdown of the current fastest time.
PulseEffects pls make a video on how come people use the girl option in fire red speedruns, I'm really curious since it doesn't manipulate the rival like in Emerald
it's preference in most games. it only takes a couple frames off so it doesnt matter much. it only really matters in two games: emerald is much better as a girl since the rival 2 fight becomes way easier and the male rival says quite a bit less, and in heartgold, the girl is better because the catching tutorial takes less time. otherwise, in DPP, the girl is slightly faster, and in XY, the male is slightly faster but female is slightly safer. everything here i took from the pokemondb post "Why do old generation speedrunners play as the girl?" which cites its source, if you care about that
When showing the graphic of which Pokemon can be acquired before the credits, it is incorrectly showing that Tentacool is available but Tentacruel is not. There isn't anything preventing you from evolving Tentacool before the credits. Which by my count of the ones crossed out, also suggests the number stated was off by one.
Don't wanna be that guy, but at 2:25 you put a picture of Sirfetch'd as Spearrow's evolution, when it should be Fearrow. Ya know, since its a gen 3 game and all lol. Great video, thanks for the info!
He didn’t show sirfetch’d he showed galarian farfetch’d because you trade spearow for farfetch’d in the run and was visually showing that. Don’t know why he showed galarian version tho.
@@theccarbiter Bingo. Pretty hilarious how that other guy tried to correct him but totally misidentified both the Pokemon and the point lol. As you say though, did Pulse really not freaking notice that he used Galarian Farfetch'd instead of the Kanto form??
@@PulseEffects you were right and I am wrong! I looked it up and it was the reverse, it was a great ball until sword and shield when it became a pokeball, then became a great ball again after
Still thinking zapdos needs a bit more looking into. I mean its quite good for actually dealing with lorlei and the strenghts electric types have. I understand that mewtwo is strong but j sort of train zapados on your journey so shouldnt it be a bit more leveled?? I mean u catch it at 40 when blastoise also around that level. Its slow leveling sure it uses lesser moves than balstoise. Its wierd but cant we manip another master ball if we want to?? If we get the ball before silph co from the market lottery we use zapdos to clear everything till mewtwo faster and can use zapdos for lorlei.
How not? They have to have multiple contingency plans and be able to pivot and play differently depending on how many pokemon they have at any given part of the game.

I can't stress enough how cool and unique this speedrunning category is. I hope you all enjoy this breakdown! 😌
Fun safari zone fact: due to how it's programmed, throwing bait at chansey actually increases the catch rate, on top of lowering the flee rate.
Is this true? That's hilarious.
One of the few good uses of Bait.
Presumably in gen 1 and not in FRLG?
@@joefarrow1599nope, in frlg as well
That... that almost feels intentional.
big respect for the mass effect music in the background
May the Galaxy Map theme guide the masses through my video. 😎
Holy shit its patterz
Nice
Glad you watch speedrun videos too Pat!

My favorite memory of this category is watching Werster imitate Pokemon cries while failing to catch Caterpie.
If you are interested to see this run, Gunnermaniac runs this category on Twitch
Absolutely worth the watch love that category
This category is so cool; I'm a huge fan of categories that require more skill and planning than just "beat the game fast." Great video!
still better than trying to do any% with bulbasaur
bulbasaur round 2
A well-timed video, as there are now rumblings of ACE being possible in FRLG.
go on?

Very good way of putting it. 😂
2:25 damn the new spearow evolution looking kinda funky
*spearow trade
Nice Mass Effect Galaxy Map song usage. I had to pause the video until I could place the background music 😅
I kinda wish you'd gone a little bit into what it means to "not be worth catching" earlier in the video, but eventually I caught on that you meant it was just too slow. But maybe I'm just tired- otherwise, it was a great video!
During the first 2 minutes. Definitely missed an acdc biggest balls of them all reference lol.
Banger song
back in the day this was the randomizer category i ran. my best run was 8 hours, but i was no means a pro
GUNNER HAS TAKEN BACK THE WR
New favorite channel✨
Any speedrun category that requires you to plan on your feet is going to be an exciting category to watch. Maybe I'll start watching some FRLG runners...
Also now I'm curious just how different the LeafGreen route is!

Does doing the nugget bridge glitch a few times worth it since you’ll be needing a lot of money for the game corner and poke balls?
“Gotta catch them all” JK only have to catch 60
Dude said balls at 1:30
At some point speedrunners are gonna find a way to get a WR with just using 1 potion.
where/how are you harvesting the 3d pokemon assets for your video?
PulseEffects pls make a video on how come people use the girl option in fire red speedruns, I'm really curious since it doesn't manipulate the rival like in Emerald
That doesn't need a video. It's actually just preference. 😂
@@PulseEffects Bruh wouldn't it be worse to pick the girl since it takes extra time then?

@@raviolieothedisgustingsupe4504 Oh ok thanks it still kind of bothers me when speedrunners lose time to pick the girl for no reason tho lol
"Ugly painted great balls"
My shiny Safari Ball Dipplin disagrees
man didnt even bring up mega kick roulette
Did you saw Chequer chequer beating pokemon but every trainer is lvl 100 n he can't battle random pokemon but can capture them?

For diglett one could set the clock to nightime where they are more high level
That's only in HeartGold and SoulSilver. FireRed and LeafGreen don't have a clock system.
What is the song used in the first two minutes? It's been buried in my head a long time and I can't place it
It’s one of the waterfall tracks in Undertale I believe
@@rattyxoxo7397that's it! Thank you!
Undertale - Waterfall
Why was Tentacruel crossed out in the list of obtainable Pokémon? What did he do wrong? 😢
Libel
Usurpation
Tax fraud
Conspiracy
Among others
Ost used in the video ?
So what you're saying is the fastest is a turtle and a cat.
Rocko's Modern Interspecies Marriage %.
How does Pikachu count as 3 Pokemon? Pichu was introduced in Gen 2 and I thought that your caught total had to be Gen 1 pokemon.
Pikachu, Raichu, and whatever Raichu is traded for

The safari ball had the catch rate of a pokeball, not great ball until it was changed in sword and shield
Not in FireRed/LeafGreen.
@@PulseEffects you were right and I am wrong! I looked it up and it was the reverse, it was a great ball until sword and shield when it became a pokeball, then became a great ball again after
@@EpicFail7777777 Username checks out XD
but what about pokemon yellow ash %
Still thinking zapdos needs a bit more looking into. I mean its quite good for actually dealing with lorlei and the strenghts electric types have. I understand that mewtwo is strong but j sort of train zapados on your journey so shouldnt it be a bit more leveled?? I mean u catch it at 40 when blastoise also around that level. Its slow leveling sure it uses lesser moves than balstoise. Its wierd but cant we manip another master ball if we want to?? If we get the ball before silph co from the market lottery we use zapdos to clear everything till mewtwo faster and can use zapdos for lorlei.
Well this title just became massively irrelevant 😂
wha
E
Squirtle makes it easier how? Charmander ftw
Squirtle clears the Elite Four faster thanks to an easier Brock, Misty and Ice Beam for Erika.
Because Blastoise is just better than Charizard lol
this dosnt seem that "hard" just tedious and slow, witch both sound awful for a SPEEDrun lol
How not? They have to have multiple contingency plans and be able to pivot and play differently depending on how many pokemon they have at any given part of the game.
This video was fantastic. Have my like, and my sub and my axe. 🪓
