I encountered a soft lock in a fire red hack one time that drops you atop a random rock in blackthorn that has no exit if you ever use Teleport. Anyways, thank you for the content, it helped me through a lot of hard times in my life.
I’ve loved the Soft Lock Picking series for a long time. It’s always fascinating to see what kind of horrible scenarios you can create for yourself, even if you have to go out of your way to do it.
Ironically this is probably one of the least absurd escapes from the SoftLockPicking series. You could easily do this yourself in less than an hour once you know the method. Nothing compared to the 180 years from the Chansey softlock video xD
Still waiting for megaman content personally, while I love the others, learning about the story behind games you love told by a great storyteller like this is always a blast
Basically with the 1/256 glitch thing with Magikarp, the idea was to get into encounters with Pokemon like Graveler who know self KO moves like Self-Destruct and Explosion and pray that when they used them they'd miss you but still KO themselves like normal, this only had a 1/256 chance to happen as ALL 100% accuracy moves like Self-Destruct and Explosion in Gen 1 had a 1/256 chance of missing due to a coding error.
Soft Lockpicking is so much fun! The earlier ones are “more realistic” (they could happen in a save file), but the later Pikasprey went, the more absurd they get and I hope you react to more!
2:39 Abra looks like a Mr Mime because the Graphics of the original Gen 2 games had the Sprites be multiple Pokemon while Pikachu and Meowth have their own unique sprites
The reason the old man with the Abra is in the Gen 2 league is because it is part of the Kanto map. In the game you can't fly from Johto to Kanto amd vice-versa, you would have to either take the train or surf from the starting town. So they put him there to give players an easy access back to the Johto map without having them backtrack victory road and the route leading to it.
Softlockpicking is my favorite series of videos related to pokemon, it's always so interesting seeing the elaborate ways that pikaspray scapes the softlocks. Hope you react to more of them!!!
I think the trade thing is because of the ability to trade eggs. Since eggs can't be sent out into battle, trading your only pokemon for an egg would leave you with nothing. It's probably a convience of math thing. Consider like this: pokemon count as 1 and eggs count as 0. When you start a trade, the game counts how many pokemon you have. As long as you have more than 1 pokemon, you are allowed to trade. After a trade is complete, the number of pokemon you have gets recounted, and the process starts over. This would be simpler to program than allowing someone to trade, checking if they are trading for an egg, then checking if the egg would make them have no pokemon.
The not enough Badges thing at the Pokemon League actually happened to me in a Nuzlocke. I Showed up all ready to go... took a Breath... And realized i forgot about Brawly... Poor Fighting gym never knew what hit it (Edit) it's Winona i'm thinking of. I purposely skipped brawly till before norman since he gives me trouble, but completely forgot to go back and fight Winona. It was really awkward
It still astounds me that Brawly is skippable given that Norman says he’ll battle you if you get 4 badges and apparently he doesn’t actually check them properly.
@IAmMissingnoMaster it was possible to skip Brawly until Norman and Winona entirely until the e4. I need to edit the comment as My memory was a bit fuzzy when i wrote this
Pikasprey deserves so much more love, he has great content. His videos on taking a look at older games or romhacks (Mostly horror romhacks like Pokemon Nightmare Invasion and such) are some of his most fun videos.
For move effects you cannot change them in Yellow or else shit will break and the duct tape will come loose. Since Yellow is compatible with Red and Blue (and Green in Japan), you have to keep the moves effects the exact same with both games, otherwise desyncing will happen and crash the game often for Player V Player battles. Still funny how many move bugs there was in gen 1.
I can't say for certain, but I am pretty sure I did in fact forget Brawley on at least one playthrough when I intended to come back and fight him later once lol
If you were doing this to someone else's file, it would be likely that they would have got flash and brawly's badge(to access elite four), but the electrode's level would be decided by you, so that would be effective for preventing this escape, if you set it to 100, so that's probably the best way to screw up someone's save file.
0:33 Well, no. A soft lock is when the only thing you can do to escape out of a stuck situation is to reload a save, that's why it's called a *soft* lock. A completely and utterly inescapable situation is a hard lock, or just a regular lock :)
That's not right either, a softlock is when the game *software* is working completely normally as intended, but the game is in a state where it is impossible to progress further. A hardlock is when the game completely crashes or freezes and the only way out of it is to reset the *hardware* .
Question🖐! Do you have any intentions on reacting to the new genshin characters? If you are i'm really looking forward to it! I've watched the past genshin reaction videos a couple of times and i really enjoy it!
21:31 We definitely need some kind of sequel to that game freak. They're never going to do it makes me so sad" did you forget about pokemon xd:gale of darkness?
I would recommend a series by @RealLifeTutorial (they are the only videos made so far but they are cool) about how many Pokémon you would need to beat the entire Pokémon franchise. Similar to chaoticmeatball’s franchislocke in theory but the execution is much different and definitely worth a watch
Wait, I thought you can't skip Brawly because of Norman? Won't he challenge you unless you have four badges? But yeah, Winona is completely optional which is honestly funny
Hard shot in the dark, like asterion shooting while blinded, and at disadvantage kind of shot in the dark, but you should react to Genshin’s “The Song Burning in the Embers” since you’ve reacted to all the other characters short films, I think you would really like this one. You need 0 prior knowledge of the game or anything
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

the lorelai's infinite battle softlock was also insane considering the odds of escaping was 1 in 68 quindecellion. so interesting, and yet so cruel.
The LVL 100 Graveler one was also just RNG hell lol
Turning from getting out of softlocks to creating torturous Saw traps
Crazy? I was crazy once. They left me in a grand city. A grand city with Electrode. Electrode made me crazy.
The reason you need 2 pokemon to trade is because you could trade yourself an Egg and then things get really weird. So they had to prevent that
THIS!
Today I learned you can trade eggs
"It's gonna be impossible to escape this trap with just an Electrode!"
"Actually it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Pat: "Okay, I did not realize that it was going to be this ridiculous"
Oh, Pat, I have very very VERY bad news for you
Yeah this is like pikasprey lite. He didn’t even come up with this one otherwise it would’ve been much more sinister. 😂
yeah lmao this is TAME for pikasprey softlocks
shoutouts to the near-infinite berry farming simulator in johto
Pikasprey actually makes peak content. I hope he uploads more often
He's more of a Vtuber/Streamer now
he streams daily and uploads the vods on Pikasprey blue. Mostly older games, horror games and pokemon games/romhacks
Still waiting for megaman content personally, while I love the others, learning about the story behind games you love told by a great storyteller like this is always a blast
@@LordSavion oh cool didn't know he had a vod channel

I would not be suprised if the sentence went "In gen 1 it was bugged and gave you health back"
Somebody can make a demonic escape room with this knowledge

I really enjoy his Soft Lock Picking series as well as his other series in general. Hopefully you react to more of his videos as not many people do.
i'd love to see more reactions to pikasprey's stuff! super underrated channel
LOVE his soft locking videos. Some of my favourite Pokémon videos on TH-cam.

@@jbz4788 Wait, Brawly actually _can_ be skipped?

I'd recommend watching his Caterpie softlock next. It's by and far my favorite softlock video.
Pikasprey is dope, some of his other soft lock picking scenarios are incredibly devious and super convoluted. They’re so fun to watch.
Pikasprey deserves so much more love, he has great content. His videos on taking a look at older games or romhacks (Mostly horror romhacks like Pokemon Nightmare Invasion and such) are some of his most fun videos.
Love this guy. Please react to mor of him
Yo soft lock picking reaction!!! I’d love to see you cover more of these!
You have to beat Brawly to fight your dad. You need 4 badges to take on Norman
I have forgotten Brawly 2 times when I was younger. Both him and Lt. Surge are the only gym leaders I forgot to fight.
continue this please he comes up with crazy ones in future viideos
Wait til you see the Larvitar and Chansey videos...
I don't usually like reaction videos but yours are always very entertaining to watch

Ah yes! Softlock picking is such a good series of videos
I’d love to see more reactions to this! 100%!
More pikasprey reacts would be awesome.
The dude's softlock picking is crazy as hell.
Sootopolis was built out of a giant crater. Also, Colosseum does have a sequel in XD Gale of Darkness.
I can't say for certain, but I am pretty sure I did in fact forget Brawley on at least one playthrough when I intended to come back and fight him later once lol
Pikasprey has been making amazing content for ages now, his smeargle-only run of Pokemon GSC was a blast

I actually forgot Winona once accidentally because I didnt go back to Fortree after getting the devon scope from Steven
Finally, someone reacting to Aspery video! :D
2:30 This is Abra I don't know what you are talking about it's not looks like recolour of Mr Mime.
I have always enjoyed watching Pikasprey's videos
Second day of voting for a reaction to either Lockstin’s Kaskade region series, or Subjectively’s Mazah full Pokédex video.
Petition for a reaction to crystal npc ranked🎉

Love your content ❤
Medicham would give the same amount of EXP regardless of Electrod's level because that change was in gen 5, 7, 8, and 9.

If you liked this one, you’re in for a treat. This is one of his tamer ones.
21:31 We definitely need some kind of sequel to that game freak. They're never going to do it makes me so sad" did you forget about pokemon xd:gale of darkness?
22:40
Can't skip Brawly. You cant fight Norman if ya do
You can in the og RSE. Have no idea if it's the same in ORAS
I would recommend a series by @RealLifeTutorial (they are the only videos made so far but they are cool) about how many Pokémon you would need to beat the entire Pokémon franchise. Similar to chaoticmeatball’s franchislocke in theory but the execution is much different and definitely worth a watch
You should react to Can we rescue a deleted Pokémon - 15 years after its death? by Nick Robinson :)
Wait, I thought you can't skip Brawly because of Norman? Won't he challenge you unless you have four badges? But yeah, Winona is completely optional which is honestly funny
Hey hey, I'm subscribed to the Person you're reacting to here
"The save file now seems to be ruined"
You realize XD gale of darkness is the sequel to colosseum right?

22:05 You can do that ever since the first game (Japanese Red & Green). What? Dont tell me you never tried it
New reaction idea: the uno amalgam by massacre's mansion (this is meant to be a series of reactions because the series is still going)
you do not actually need flash, just amazing luck
YES YES YES YES YES
More of these please? ^_&
How do you skip Brawly? Don't you need 4 badges to battle Norman?
What if you did not get Flash in Granite Cave?
Couldnt he trade with XD? XD only requires you to save in a pokemon center.
Oh! Reacting to Pikasprey, a guy I have followed since his beginning. I hope you react to more of him as I think he's very good.
Shorts wars 🤔
9:15 ermmm actually that’s 4
Watch more Pikasprey, dude is a genius!
Could you react to the seven darkgods of dc universe
You cant skip Brawly cause you can only skip him till Flannery qfter that Norman wont fght you if you dont jave Brawly's badge.
