      How great would that be if the 2nd moon stone from the beginning games was hidden under the Super Nerds feet. If you pick the fossil and leave, you never realize it, but if you talk to him again he's like "Ok Ok, I found this stupid rock I can't identify. It's yours". He takes a step back and has a Moon Stone where he was standing lol

    Fun fact I learned from watching Scott’s Thoughts (who I highly recommend), your rivals eeveelution is based off of the first two battles with your rival! If you lose the lab battle, he chooses vaporeon. If you win and don’t do the optional battle next to vermillion, he chooses flareon. If you win and beat him in the optional battle, he chooses jolteon.

      I was lucky enough to have the guide in 1999 (for the best, as 10-year old me, and frankly 33-year old me, was... not good at these games), and obviously a lot of people did not, so I always forget people genuinely didn't know about the Eeveelution and how to obtain Bulbasaur. But on the flip side, I can't relate to the surprise/excitement of Giovanni being the 8th gym leader or Blue being the champion...

    For those that don't know, to get that Bulbasaur, you have to raise your Pikachu to max friendship. You can do this very easily by spamming potions on your Pikachu at full health, which won't waste the potion and will make it happier. Once your Pikachu shows hearts when you talk to it, the lady will notice how much it loves you and give you the Bulbasaur!
    Amazed I managed to find this out by accident when I first played the game, but I was a little silly kid that thought it was cute to try to heal Pikachu and watch it be happy that you tried.

    For those wondering, you get the bulbasaur by having your pikachu in your party and it having high enough friendship. You also have to have a space free in your party. Since Flygon's pikachu died first, technically he would have never been able to get the bulbasaur.

    How Blue evolves his Eevee is based on how your battles go against Blue in the first two rival fights: the one in Oak's lab, and the optional one on Route 22. If you lose the first fight, the Eevee will become a Vaporeon. If you win the first fight but lose OR SKIP the second fight, the Eevee will become a Flareon. And if you win both fights, the Eevee will become a Jolteon. In case you should ever run this game again, hope it helps :]

    the rival's eevee actually evolves depending on the results of the battle in the lab, and the optional one in route 22. if you lose the lab battle, it evolves into vaporeon. if you win the lab battle but not the route 22 one, it becomes flareon. and if you win both it becomes jolteon. its kind of cool that the team changes in reaction to the players actions.

    Man what a trip down memory lane. From the rivals name to the nicknames of the Pokemon. Really brought me back to my childhood. Thank you flygon. Also my first Pokemon game was Pokemon blue that I got for Christmas from my uncle. I will never ever forget it. Even if I was 4 years old at the time, it's literally one of if not my earliest memories and I fondly cherish it ❤ great video as always flygon! Glad to see you finally do a nuzlocke for the best gen ever! Even if it's a year old at this point
    Edit:
    PS: probably been said a million times in the comments by now, but what your rival evolves his eevee into is based on how your first 2 battles go. But 1 is the optional battle you can have where he has a lvl 9 Spearow and his eevee over to the left of Vermillion but I forgot what route it is lmfao. If you win both the battle in prof oaks lab and that one, he evolves it into Jolteon to combat your Pikachu and make it "hard mode". If you win 1 and lose 1 (or win 1 and don't fight him in the optional battle) it's flareon for medium. And if you lose both battles it's Vaporeon to give Pikachu an edge and make it easy mode 😊

Winning at the lab and losing or skipping Viridian City makes it a Flareon. That may been verification tho.

    What the rival’s Eevee evolves into is actually dependent on how your first battles with him go in Oak’s Lab and Route 22. Win both = Jolteon, Lose both = Vaporeon, and split (or skip the route 22 battle) = Flareon. I only learned this recently, but I think it’s really cool.

    Knowing the conditions for the lady to give Bulbasaur and how the rival evolves his Eevee makes this video even funnier. They're both reliant on Pikachu's friendship level.
    If Pikachu's friendship is low the rival gets Vaporeon, if it's high he gets Jolteon, and if it's mid, Flareon. The idea is if you're struggling with the game, he becomes easier (because Vaporeon is weak to electric) and if you're doing well he becomes harder (Jolteon resists electric, and is faster than Pikachu).
