I personally think the codes make the game more enjoyable overall but I’m someone that likes to use a lot of different pokemon when o play through radical red. The codes only make it so u don’t have to constantly grind for items and levels after every level cap goes up. Glad to see you revisiting this, radical red is by far my favorite rom hack.
I just graduated from first level college today (I got my Bachelors), and I’m really glad to have a video from you to make this exhausting day a lot better.
The care package code is extremely useful and I highly recommend keeping it on, as it is just a huge time saver overall. Even the rarer items that it gives you, including bottle caps (which can be spent at an NPC to get hidden abilities), can be thieved off of wild pokemon, and with the amount of teambuilding required for this game, it saves tens of hours.

@@ulysses-pact Nah, the care package only gives you items that you can obtain renewably (via Thief, raids, etc.), and it only gives them to you at the point you could get them. For example, instead of having to use Thief on wild Pikachu over and over to get a light ball, it just gives you a few of them when you get to Viridian forest. There's also a built-in level cap, which the Rare Candies can't go past.
Pick up isn’t just berry’s it’s all one time used items including fling and natural gift which I think could be used for some big brain strategies I don’t know what though
I'm actually quite serious. Have you ever considered making up a Pokemon region? Like, either commissioning your own Fakemon or drawing your own? I feel like it could be an interesting miniseries
The mystery eggs you can buy can be any single stage Pokémon in the game that can still evolve. This includes noipole, kubfu, cosmog and the new regional forms that you can’t get till postgame( outside of getting one for free after Ericka). You can reset the eggs for whatever you want.
i remember the first time i played radical red it took me around two days to beat falkner nothing else in the game took nearly as long still genuinely terrifying
Man I started Radical Red a couple days ago and specific trainer battles are infuriating, this johto gym leader in Lavender town made me rage quit for now
Morty could be saved for later in a playthrough. He gives shadow ball, soothe bell and gengarite. If you get any good attack dark type, sucker punch shreds a lot of his team.
Morty is one of the hardest battles in the game if you fight him early, but he's completely optional. If you can get something with stab sucker punch (which you should be able to), that typically takes care of gengar, and that's the biggest danger in his team. Or alternatively he just misses focus blast and you kill it with absol, that's what i did last time i beat him LOL
Fun fact. RNG in Radical Red is ALWAYS stable. If you do something in battle and something happens, it will always do that if you do the same things again. If you got killed because Bullet Seed hit 5 times and Crit every hit, you can't just retry the battle and expect it to do something different. Even though everything you did prior was the same as last time.
Im not really a fan of that honestly. I've noticed that in RR the difficulty often comes from the AI reacting to whatever you click A on, which makes it feel really fucking cheap at times. Inclement Emerald is the superior difficulty hack for that reason.
Oh wow, i didnt even know about these codes. But honestly, im fine with it. Like, its more so just, convenient rather than cheating. I think its completely fair.
i've been playing rom hacks lately and i felt the bad luck in this video so hard, i genuinely wondered if the rng was modified in a specific hack i played because my luck was so horrible
I definitely think you should just go ahead and use the cheats as you described. It really just helps you make videos easier/faster, which is never a bad thing.
I get the comment about this hack having too many features but I always took it as it providing all the tools for you to make a personalized run to your likings
I've been playing Emerald Crest after your first video on it and while at first it was pretty fun, especially with the exp multiplier, but I'm starting to run into issues lol, I'm before the E4 and trainer scaling is all over the place - went from Winona (my final gym badge) being around 58 iirc? to trainers being between 70-80(!!!) with no ways to really grind outside of Blissey in victory road, and even sped up I took hours getting my team to late 70s and I'm still being underlevelled compared to trainers... idk. The open world mode also has issues w in-game events and areas being locked out. I tried ROWE for a while as well, and ROWE definitely has better documentation, I ran into a crash when I played last time and hadn't saved for like an hour so I dropped the game, might go back to it but I'll probs try Radical Red after I beat Crest. ....If I beat Crest lol
While I havnt played a normal run of Radical Red because I have been binge playing multiple runes of Radical Red’s hardcore mods but if I am not mistaken there are certain “boss” trainers with gimmick teams and can be encountered because they will have the boss battle screen you would usually see when you initiate a battle against a rival, gym leader, or an actual boss battle, this is just pure speculation since I havnt played normal Radical Red in a good bit so it might be difficulty exclusive, hope you enjoy the game
That's only a feature in hardcore mode, but there are still miniboss trainers, obviously the one that gives the infinite repel, but also the camper at the end of route 8 with assist dragon ascent stuff, and others. The blaine gym trainers are especially obnoxious tbh
Honestly I feel like rare candies in radical red are more useful for selling and really only eliminate the grind for gyms 1 - 3 as once you get to lavender town you really don't need rare candies though lol kinda wish I knew about the cheat codes so I didn't have to grind slowly against pikachu's and Audino''s for the early game especially since I'm playing on hardcore so I had to switch up my team often but anyway I enjoyed the video and look forward to watching more as I love watching people play radical red.
Yeah that falkner fight is literally a reason to kill someone over, the game assumes you use the documentation and come in with a team and plan mostly tbh.
the cheat codes make radical red actually playable for me, I'm a person who absolutely can't stand grinding and if I had to grind for everything I'd probably never have beaten it
Have you considered testing out Pokemon Tectonic? it's a pokemon rom hack that focuses heavily on pokemon rebalance, and it's got an in-game decked out pokemon wiki so it's super accessible. They made an effort to make every pokemon unique. You mentioned Nickit in the video, and I recall they gave it a unique ability that allows it to steal items when it's hit by a physical ability. I'm curious what you'd think of it!
If youre playing this on an emulator. When you turn it off for the day, you can use a save state where you end the game (and do a normal save as well just incase), with Cyndaquil still following you so you dont have to go back to Viridian
In my opinion, Falkner is one of the toughest early game fights. His team doesn't look like much at first but it is very strong for that stage in the game and it's reasonable to spend a while trying to take him down in my opinion.
I don't know if anyone has said it, but if you don't want to use Rare Candies for level up, you can use them for infinite money. Sell them, and then get more whenever you need to make a purchase. 👍
Recommendation:Use a Sceptile once you access Mega evolution,Its Sp Attack and Attacks are swapped and in mega it gains technician once it is mega evolved,After reading this Ik you aint gonna use it tho
Callum i got a suggestion for a game: altered platinum. Its a version of renegade platinum with custom sinnoh forms and its really cool and has some awesome designs. Kinda reminds me lf ephmerald or alteRed
Have you tried pokemon exceeded? pokemon there have multiple abilities, can hold three items. And you can customize your gameplay at the beginning. If you have the spare time, check it out!
7:12 Ruflett have Hustle and that's why, with his 83 base attack, it hit like a truck 14:40 Yeah, they decided to nerf the AI and this is one of the example : the Geodude hold a berry that allow him to get priority at low HP. That goes well with Sturdy as he then use Self Destruct... He now switch and lose his berry. 17:40 It was definitively Thief as Meowths (both normal and Alolan ones) always hold Gold Nuggets
In love with the fact that you’re playing rad red. Don’t know if people have suggest it or shared the codes, but here they are. DexAll- all mons appear on dex nav so you can shiny hunt or get good IVS Woyaopp-rare candies and happiness berries. SO2Toxic- care package of unbelievably useful items given to at appropriate times through the game.
Playing this game just leaves a bad taste in my mouth knowing the discord is full of powertripping idiots just banning random ppl. Also some npc's calling every non hardcore player a baby is just all so immature idk..
I agree that Tinkaton does not need to be given Huge Power, but I think that when ROMs start having Tinkaton, someone needs to give it Prankster. I don't even care if it buffs it in any way or not, it just seems like a pokemon that would have Prankster but doesn't. Might just be me though
I personally would never use the rare candies cheat but none of the cheats used seem too egregious for a yt playthrough since it makes things easier on the person recording.
Cheats 100% make this game way better, otherwise you’ll be left miserable trying to grind for the first part of the game. Especially since the Audino trainer is locked behind Lavender Town.
Just use the cheats it really doesn't matter they don't allow you to go over the level cap unless your so determined to level that you go through the 1 exp grind and by the way there are mini bosses all through out the game which go to the level you are so it really doesn't matter if you instantly go to the level cap
I just wish there was an easier version i know its a difficulty hack but i hate suffering i wanna play it for the content and qol 😢 buuut cant even get past misty 😂
I don't understand the complaint about bloat, how so? I agree there's a lot of content in the game but when exactly does turn into bloat ? Bloat would be pointless features that don't add to the game, the point of a "feature" is that it improves, whether its speeding up a grind, showing you all encounters on a route, the ability to change nature, gender, check level cap in one area. None of that is useless or a drawn out process. It's quick and easy, that's the reason this game is as popular as it is. Bro was just bitching for the sake of it.
Thank you for your patience with content this week! Sky and the animals are all moved in now! I'll be back on the grind next week >:)

Save time. Use the candies. There's no reason you should have to grind if you don't want to.
Most use candies for nuzlockes and not normal runs because a normal run you have infinite attempts...and in radical red you need to ev train

@@Blaze-nm1uh When you interact with the TV at your house in Pallet Town, it prompts you to put in a password. The passwords are SO2Toxic (care package), DexAll (tells you what pokemon are in each area), and Woyaopp (rare candies from Viridian City youngster).

I feel like the rare candies are fine to use, you could also sell them to get that 75k magikarp
money it's ridiculously easy to get in this game so even cheating it in is fine tbh, takes away the grind on Meowths for nuggets
Honestly, the cheatcodes don't give you any advantage in battles which are the main challenge, so I think they are fine
i love the little touch that falkner's rufflet was holding berry juice, introduced in gen 2, over a normal berry
Pick up isn’t just berry’s it’s all one time used items including fling and natural gift which I think could be used for some big brain strategies I don’t know what though
its super cool
Yeah this is sick, I didn't realize how broken pickup was in this game.
I have to say, Huge Power Marill is such a blessing for the beginning of the game!
Definitely one of my favorite mons to use in any Pokémon game
I'm actually quite serious. Have you ever considered making up a Pokemon region? Like, either commissioning your own Fakemon or drawing your own? I feel like it could be an interesting miniseries
9:02 god I love him....................
The mystery eggs you can buy can be any single stage Pokémon in the game that can still evolve. This includes noipole, kubfu, cosmog and the new regional forms that you can’t get till postgame( outside of getting one for free after Ericka). You can reset the eggs for whatever you want.

Just normal, I've only ever done infinite fusion a few weeks ago and this so having to think while playing pokemon is new to me lol

Love the Chuggaaconroy love here, he's actually one of the first Poketubers I watched back in the day, that and Lueroi.

Have you tried emerald exceeded? All pokemon have multiple abilities making game play and team building interesting

i've been playing rom hacks lately and i felt the bad luck in this video so hard, i genuinely wondered if the rng was modified in a specific hack i played because my luck was so horrible
just so you know, all the buyable eggs are usually random so you can get anything. I got a sheer force bagon from the pewter city one
For the eggs, they always get their hidden ability if possible
I definitely think you should just go ahead and use the cheats as you described. It really just helps you make videos easier/faster, which is never a bad thing.
going through the process of moving unis rn, I'm so happy there's a new series to unwind to at the end of the day. stay frosty big C
Enjoying the content as always! Keep it up
Rare candies also mean infinite money most of the time. So depending if you want too you can plat without having too worry about money
I remember the first version of radical red when the map was customized. Good times.
I get the comment about this hack having too many features but I always took it as it providing all the tools for you to make a personalized run to your likings
Maybe give Tinkaton No Guard if rom makers want to give it an offensive ability?
Doesn’t matter if you cheat, not like this is a hardcore nuzelock
I’m so used to watching Rad Red randomized seeing it normal is so strange lmao. I love to see what the encounters are meant to be
