My guy killed a speedrun category and had the calmest reaction ever. Anyway, it don't really follow Pokemon speedrunning but huge congrats on the new world record!
6:46. That unassuming nidoran was destined to be the greatest Pokémon in the history of the game, as he affectionately receives the nickname “A” to match his owner.
This cathegory can be called completely optimized since years now. The WR race got really tight with only seconds being in between the runners. But this guy just obliterates the previous WR by over a min. No more words...
Awesome, the route has changed since I last followed the pokemon speedrun. It was very interesting to watch. Even Lorelei is impressed "You're better than I thought!" at 1:36:38 🙂😄
I don't think people realize how insane this run. Its not just the best run in Pokemon, its one of the best speedruns of any game, period. Pokemon Red is a 30 year old game at this point, its been optimized. To even get a chance at beating this youd have to play perfectly and probably reset 10k times just to get a single WR pace run
He’s getting no encounters because he is using RNG Manipulation. A specific combination of movement and A presses results in 0 encounters and the Paras encounter at the end.
@PokeGuy: Are you working on a commentary video? Would be great to hear how you got: - 12 and 13 second timesaves on Nidoran and Brock - how you were feeling at various points of the run Amazing achievement, well deserved!
Though not quite as impressive as this, I still remember being the first and only kid in my neighborhood to collect all 150 Pokemon on the GBA Yellow "Picachu" edition. If I ever have kids I'm gonna tell them how thats the greatest & most important thing ive ever achieved in this life.
Why his attacks seems to never miss? He taked a lot of risks but, because they never seems to fail, it was ok. Its just luck or hes using some legal but not mentioned tool? Does he know when a attack will fail? Rarely, in 1:05:15 he used Poke Flute by apparentrly no reason, why didnt he used Horn Drill in that time?
He use PokeFlute for taking damage by Hydro Pump for be on Red Bar and he never miss Horn Drill because in Gen 1 you only need 1 x Accuracy for 100% precision ^^
@@Saddler46 ive asked elsewhere and someone told me that in red some animations are skiped. Its for that, right? Can you tell me more? And wow, I didnt though that only 1 XA would do that.
@@REALTachikomaia When a Pokemon has a red health bar there is a constant noise being played which prevents the cry sound of a Pokemon entering the battle being played. The noise of the red bar is shorter than the cry of the Pokemon thus shortening the fight and saving 1-2 seconds each time. ^^
Red bar also enables you to skip level up sound to make it faster as well. The entire run is optimized to use red bar whenever possible for this reason.
That dude in the chat talking about sprite animations...saying pokeguy has a modded game. DUDE. Sprite animations weren't a thing in gen 1. get good, like pokeguy. Awesome fucking run dude.
@@JD-re3cj I don’t really know. I’m not super knowledgeable about the topic, I just know that rng in these games is not actually ‘random’ and is instead affected by a plethora of details- from the timing on your button presses to how many times you walk in a circle before entering a building. Weird stuff like that
@@dannyblad3863 ah, never heard of that, but then again, I am not that deep in the speedrun-community, I just love to watch and I enjoyed this very much!
I watched the VOD of this run a few times on twitch because I wanted to listen to the commentary, but now that VOD is not available. Can you please make it available again or upload the run with the commentary on YT?
For the beginning part of the game he uses RNG manipulation strategies to avoid unwanted encounters (you can tell when he's doing this because he has to restart the game before doing it). After around the second badge he can get repels and just use those to avoid wild encounters.
yes there's manips for mt moon and a hard manip for viridian forest (tho most of viridian forest tiles don't generate encounters). the rest is repels or getting lucky not getting encounters
I know it's been a year, but this is basically a public service announcement: if the opponent has Agility, it will ALWAYS click it on a Poison type. It's one of the reasons Nidoking is so good. They see it as weakness exploitation. Agility is Psychic type.
If a GB classic game is in a GB colour and GBA, then colours get added to the game according to a guessed colour palette. Holding down arrows during startup swaps the pallette (in this case, from reds to blues)
No matter how fast you did it, Gary did it faster.
Maybe if your under 1:44,hes not there yet
I hear when you're faster than this you see him setting up, trying new things to say

Its not gary.
Troll head
Its BLUE OAK
Butt, his name is Butt.
His mother surely was surprised when her son returned from his great journey after less than 2 hours😂
😂
So was Prof Oak......

Slightly deflated - the blizzard miss on the dratini stole 1:43
"my guy" guy followed by "it couldve been better" yep, it is definitely reddit or twitter

Can't wait to start seeing Tauros RTA attempts in hopes to beat this! Great job!
Jrose! Where you been dude?
tauros is a speedrun poke?
@@MimictheRaft only in TAS since it would be crazy to manip that encounter/catch by hand
@@LordLucario99 if it is the next step, it will be done
@@maccaswam will never be considered since TAS has guaranteed crits/misses and without those tauros is a lot worse
The word 'insane' doesn't even begin to describe this! Congratulations on the massive WR!! 🥳🎉

I’ve never appreciated speed running until now. Well done man, brilliant.
I was happy to have been able to do this in under 2 hr…this is absolutely incredible. I dare say, he’s the GOAT speed runner and it isn’t close
"Can I just get on "a" run?" Proceeds to WR
I was going to say "famous last words" but it's a World Record now lol
Grats on WR much deserved, and a hell of a run!
Congratulations are you that lazy with your spelling
@@perrycoffey5410 you must be very bored today
Well done dude. Great run ! Let’s go 1.43 !
My childhood game spend houres and houres playing as a kid
Honestly, Perfect Speedrun. Thank you, I am grateful to watch this run, may your future speedruns be executed with good decisions.
Damn. Victory Road seems a lot shorter than I remember it.
Great job by the way and Congrats!
Awesome, the route has changed since I last followed the pokemon speedrun. It was very interesting to watch. Even Lorelei is impressed "You're better than I thought!" at 1:36:38 🙂😄
That music still slaps
Even Gary in this play through was like damn slow down
Thank you for making this video. I bought pokemon red when i was 10. Its cool to see someone who has mastered speedrunning this game.
With no Blizzard miss vs Peter you're under 1:44:00 !
Congrats, this is insane ! 💪🔥

Horn drill is a good move I see.

ggs on WR, what a run!
I was there! Congrats on freeing everyone from Red forever
seeing this live was incredible, gg!
Bro that speed run is sick congrats
Searched and clicked this video for ambient music. Used to think my Gameboy was on in my pocket bc I heard this music 247, gg wr
congrats on current world record again
1:30:23 chat from pinkish_princess quickly followed by a well deserved response
Just starting to watch this. Looking forward to seeing how this works, completepy new to glitchleas pkmn red
So be aware that he used the instant text glitch, by trying to buy a bike without voucher. No matter what ppl say, I'll always consider that a glitch.
@@danielschwarz4973Officially it's allowed; you literally can't play this game "glitchless," the game has glitches in its core mechanics
I would have fainted of stress, impressive stuff. Real pro game show off
one step into a cave and a zubat attacks me

Insane doesn't begin to describe your series...
Congrats bro about time someone set a new record !!
congrats pocket guy
Huh, it always was Onix, and not Onyx. Yes, thats all I came here for.
This record will stand for a long time unless there is a new strategy or new trick that will save time
eh, 1:43 should be possible.
Congrats on WR!!
You are the very best! unlike no one ever was!
The crit on blues raticate hit hard
clears data so you don't have to press down from CONTINUE of course
Me asf trying to get to cinnabar just to relive MissingNo
that’s a good run!
so you got the record down by over a min GG bro
1:02:11 we could make a drinking game out of this. any time he uses a pokemon center or uses a potion, take a shot.
I can't believe it. Congratulations. Red's dead, baby. Red's dead.
@PokeGuy: Are you working on a commentary video? Would be great to hear how you got:
- 12 and 13 second timesaves on Nidoran and Brock
- how you were feeling at various points of the run
Amazing achievement, well deserved!
IKR I’d love to see and hear a commentating version of this video.

I remember my first sub 2 hr run. This is epic run mate Gratz
Ahh wonderful times. I look forward to reading about it in your memoirs.

Great use of the "one time"
Nevermind pokecenter, my boy heals by leveling up
This is it boys, the perfect speedrun
Amazing accomplishment! GGs :)
Insane run! GG!
Just seeing this today. insane run gz!
That dude in the chat talking about sprite animations...saying pokeguy has a modded game. DUDE. Sprite animations weren't a thing in gen 1. get good, like pokeguy. Awesome fucking run dude.
yoooo grats king
To quote Que, INSANE!!! GG pokeguy
Congrats my dude
Congrats my guy. GG
Great job 🎉
Yeaaahhh congratulations!
Blue is the true speedrunner always one step ahead
This vid deserves more views
This deserves more views!
Not really, it’s a niche game within a niche speedrun community, within a niche gaming category (speedrunning) im impressed he even has 30k
The absolute goat doin it once again 🫡
@SummoningSalt time to update the Pokemon WR doc!
Thank god it wasn't the rat IGT
The fact that it’s been almost 2 years and this record still hasn’t been beaten👀
Oh hi like 36 mins ago lol
Monster run. Grats!!
GG, amazing run
GG pokeguy and A
I got red & blue brand new when they came out. I just want to go back.
1:32:29 hi twitch users! 😂
Hello :)
Really impressive 💪
30:00 I was about to be like bro you need to potion your nidoking but makes it til 33:49 til he potions cuz he can one shot with megapunch.
0:43 yes you can
dang you crushed the world record
can you play with a hack that makes the red bar sound less annoying?
Holy fuck, congratulations
Can you tell what the point of resetting the game every now and then is?
Something to do with rng
@@jeamsiswhat about going in to the bike shop twice ?

Good stuff. Amazing to see your times. 1:43 when? :)
wow, great work!
Congrats!! :D
Hey, awesome run! But can someone please explain why he went to the bike shop in the first place?
Instant text glitch

How did Horn Drill hit every time? And why were there like no wild encounters?
X Accuracy, and having mapped out a route before hand that doesn't have extra wild Pokémon on it (you can see he has to press A a bunch to delay)
For the beginning part of the game he uses RNG manipulation strategies to avoid unwanted encounters (you can tell when he's doing this because he has to restart the game before doing it). After around the second badge he can get repels and just use those to avoid wild encounters.
man how bad i want a gameboy color and that game right now.
It’s just a few clicks away on a iPhone emulator
@@andreashley6084 right :)
I wonder if he named his son “A”
I’m new to these speed runs, are the specific paths you’re walking the strategy to avoid as many wild Pokémon as possible?
yes there's manips for mt moon and a hard manip for viridian forest (tho most of viridian forest tiles don't generate encounters). the rest is repels or getting lucky not getting encounters
Pinkish when the streamer didn’t do their bidding: 😡😡🤬😱
Blaines arcanine didnt use extremespeed . Then garys pigeot used agily like 4 times in a row instead of attacking. WILD
What gen do you think extremespeed was introduced?
I know it's been a year, but this is basically a public service announcement: if the opponent has Agility, it will ALWAYS click it on a Poison type. It's one of the reasons Nidoking is so good. They see it as weakness exploitation. Agility is Psychic type.
runs like this remind how bad i am at video games lol
HOW DID IT suddenly get color/why at around20 mins?
If a GB classic game is in a GB colour and GBA, then colours get added to the game according to a guessed colour palette. Holding down arrows during startup swaps the pallette (in this case, from reds to blues)
1:14:18 'dropped my balls"
Congrats 👏 👏
Omg! Congrat! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 incredible!
Twitch chat is actually some of the cringiest shit I have ever seen in my entire life lmfao.
