@@PitchBlackLaser he is actually very good at pokemon. He just knows the competitive side better. The reason that he doesn't know much about gen 1 is because he has never had to visit that generation to become the world champ.
I grew up playing gen 1 blue and ppl said if u could get strength and get to the truck beside the boat u could move it and get mew lol I tried it and it didn't move I was heartbroken
I remember one in LoZOoT if you beat the game without getting hit you could get a gun. And as a kid that was impossible cuz I wasn't the MLG I am now lol. That and beating super Mario 64 7 times under 1 save each time to again...give Mario a gun lol
I read that if you beat all the different Modes on the hardest difficulty with Ness in Super Smash Bros. Melee, you could unlock Slippy Toad I spent so long as a young kid trying to beat all the modes like that and I can tell you, when I eventually did beat it, I was furious

@@zilongma5067 Not really. For me it was the natural order of gaming. I was a very dumb kid with an active imagination.... Now I'm a dumb adult with an active imagination, but at least know my stuff
One time I was playing through 2nd gen and I got up to Clair with a fairly underleveled team and my 6th was the Onix you can trade a Bellsprout for at the start (He was a HM slave for Strenght) battled my way through as normal and got her down to her Kingdra who promptly took out most of my team. All I had left was my level 6 Onix. Somehow, by the pure luck of the gods, that Beautiful Onix kept attacking while she used non attacking moves over and over until Onix took her out. He gained something like 20 levels and became one of my favourite pokemon of all time. I wish I still had the cartridge so I could have traded him up through the generations but sadly that wonderful pile of code has been lost to History. Rest in peace Rocky, you were the MVP.
Sadly even if you had the cartridge, pkmn from gen 2 cant be transfered to new games, this is because the stat system changed for iv and ev instead of dv
13:13 I had the same thing happen to me. I remember fighting Brock and getting down to a random Metapod I had captured and neglected. Thinking the fight was over, I just mashed A to get past the white-out. A few minutes later, Brock was handing me my badge...
@@georgy2596 You legit can't, unless you're the luckiest person alive (or the most patient person alive to save scum through every battle with certain moves in them). The reason why?

@@vergilmontiero2558 In all seriousness, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum were actually supposed to be the last games in the series; that's also why they wrapped up so much of the world building there, as to give fans a completed story so they could move on ^^
@@theramendutchman Gen 2 was also planned to be the last games in the series! You can find the Spaceworld version with more Pokémon, a significantly bigger region, etc.
This is the greatest concept, I would love to just have my friends play the trainer AI as I progress. Talk about a new way to experience a co-op experience.
Wolf isn't actually playing. Atsign tried for about a week to make Pokémon Blue two player, but quickly realised that it was impossible. So he studied Wolf and Ant as comprehensively as he could, and then reprogrammed the AI to make the decisions that Wolf WOULD make. Which has worked flawlessly.
This is so cool. I feel like the rival and gym battles are a lot more realistic bc lbr anyone with a basic understanding of the game can usually breeze right through most of the battles until the elite four. It was really cool to see how these would play out if you were playing against someone who knew what they were doing
I like all of Ant's content but this was a whole paradigm shift in concepts... Kudos to atsign for doing this and the Rival Battle at the end was just mind blowing...
@@fartherboot3730 Huh? Who's mad? Where is the "hate wave?" Imagine saying something that cringey for attention and then seeing nobody gave a shit, lol.
We need this concept implemented in a future game! Basically you can play the game with one other person that controls all of the Trainers in the game. A better co-op than Let's Go's implementation lol. That has potential to get fun so fast haha. Especially if you do it with a friend you're super close with.
That's not bad... I mean like, misty's starmie is like level 21 I think, so even if he had a level cap, a gyarados and a nidoking would be normal, because you can get gyarados at level 20, and nidoking at least at level 16...
@@hotd0gw8 No, it's not bad for this challenge specifically. But in a normal run, having a Bulbasaur with Vine Whip is typically enough because Gen 1's "good AI" will flub up so many attacks. It'll use Water Gun, Tackle, or Misty will use an XDefend instead of using Bubblebeam, her best attack.
@@briankaste6931 yeah, yellow actually has some cool additions specifically for Brock. I remember as a kid being stuck on Brock forever because I tried to win with Pikachu, Rattata, pidgey/pidgeotto, butterfree and Nidoran male and female without knowing double kick was super effective against his Geodude and Onix. They also added a Mankey to route 22 (the route west of Viridian City that leads to the pokemon league) and added low kick to Mankey's learnset, it was exclusive to machop in Red and Blue. Also I think karate chop was normal in gen I for whatever reason
The reason they changed it to 12 is because you start with a Pikachu and they figured you'd need something to beat Brock, since electric moves don't work on his pokemon. This is the same reason Mankey got moved to Nidoran's route in Yellow as well.
If this was BW then cynthia would be actually impossible. Someone took her exact team (different moves) and got to top 100 smogon with that team, before garchomp got banned of course.
Wow, that 1HP after the level up. I actually cheered out loud haha. I actually thought that might've happened when I saw the level up, I was like "Ooooh defense and HP gain, could it happen?!" and it did haha. This is great. I hope you do it again.
This would make an amazing animation- imagine Ant walking around, followed by a ghostly wolf that hides in the shadows, sneaking up behind each and every trainer that Ant comes across and possessing their body, throwing their Pokémon against the poor kid from Pallet Town, letting them go the moment that all their Pokémon have fainted and they are no longer useful in its quest.
I somehow have this strange idea for a 2 player game. Both player starts in a safari-like area, where they can freely train or catch new pokemon. In like every 15 minutes, they are forced to face each other in a match with what they have. This repeats in like several times up to how many matches they want.
There is a warcraft3 custom game called pokemon world that is this, but you only get transported at the end for final tournament. while in zones can fight if you want

That random Raticate is soooooo strong for where it is in gen 1. I remember getting jumped by that dude in a nuzlocke and being sooooo sad.
i'm still looking under my bed at night to make sure the raticate dude isn't there

Yes
No we needed and we knew
One time I was playing through 2nd gen and I got up to Clair with a fairly underleveled team and my 6th was the Onix you can trade a Bellsprout for at the start (He was a HM slave for Strenght) battled my way through as normal and got her down to her Kingdra who promptly took out most of my team. All I had left was my level 6 Onix.
Somehow, by the pure luck of the gods, that Beautiful Onix kept attacking while she used non attacking moves over and over until Onix took her out. He gained something like 20 levels and became one of my favourite pokemon of all time.
I wish I still had the cartridge so I could have traded him up through the generations but sadly that wonderful pile of code has been lost to History.
Rest in peace Rocky, you were the MVP.
Sadly even if you had the cartridge, pkmn from gen 2 cant be transfered to new games, this is because the stat system changed for iv and ev instead of dv
Long Live Rocky
I beat a friend's lv 84 altaria with a lv27 snorlax because his sky attack kept missing over and over and over

The game is so broken there’s a video called “can you beat Pokémon red/blue without glitches”
@@georgy2596 You legit can't, unless you're the luckiest person alive (or the most patient person alive to save scum through every battle with certain moves in them).
The reason why? Badge Boost activates even if your opponent debuffs you with things like Leer and Growl or Sand Attack, so if you get hit by one, the run is over.
“If I was a gym leader I would just run away from you and youd never progress” did you mean Whitney or Claire?

@@vergilmontiero2558 In all seriousness, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum were actually supposed to be the last games in the series; that's also why they wrapped up so much of the world building there, as to give fans a completed story so they could move on ^^

As a programmer I’m completely baffled how atsign made this work

@@k-marketmuotiala4801 It does. Very easy. Thank you.
But I thought you were a musician? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wolf isn't actually playing.
Atsign tried for about a week to make Pokémon Blue two player, but quickly realised that it was impossible.
So he studied Wolf and Ant as comprehensively as he could, and then reprogrammed the AI to make the decisions that Wolf WOULD make.
Which has worked flawlessly.
Ikr!! In 2 months as well? I could spend years trying to do this and it would still fail lol

The Metapod anecdote against Brock is definitely a game algorithm thing, I remember using a struggling Metapod against Brock as a child as well.
The irrational optimism of Ant going into trainer battles against the world champ while he knows he's underleveled over and over is hilarious.
Is no one gonna talk about that FINAL RIVAL BATTLE? That was legit the most hype moment in the entire run.
It was sweet, sweet revenge

Wait, so WolfeyVGC just straight up became the Pokemon Champion when he grew up? What the fuck that's awesome.
He wanted to be the very best, like no one ever was. And that he accomplished
what does that even mean do be world champion?
@@agb601 If you win the world championship tournament in competitive battling, it means you are the world champion (for that year, technically)
@@agb601 it means that he was the best Pokémon player who competed at the tournament that year.
Yeah too bad he cheated
This is so cool. I feel like the rival and gym battles are a lot more realistic bc lbr anyone with a basic understanding of the game can usually breeze right through most of the battles until the elite four. It was really cool to see how these would play out if you were playing against someone who knew what they were doing
I like all of Ant's content but this was a whole paradigm shift in concepts... Kudos to atsign for doing this and the Rival Battle at the end was just mind blowing...
This is kind of unbalanced, since Wolfey knows the only move you have is Dig.
It's fine though, because the only move Wolfey has is also Dig.
@@Amodelsino shit you right
Reading this before getting to that part of the video was very confusing.
@@mk5291 But imagining what it could mean was hilarious
"You could just run as a wild pokemon every single time."
Lol... did not consider that. Can only imagine.
Should do this on a gen which has double battles, so wolfey can show his VGC experience
Shoulda done it in gen 3 so wolfey gets to control tate + liza
I'd love to see this done on Colosseum
@@bewill5121 i mean. Gen 1 is fairly easy to overwrite code. I imagine from gen 3 on out especially with the CSS. Almost an impossible task.

Just inteligence?
@@lopde1290 yes
Yeah, this is big brain time.

We need this concept implemented in a future game! Basically you can play the game with one other person that controls all of the Trainers in the game. A better co-op than Let's Go's implementation lol. That has potential to get fun so fast haha. Especially if you do it with a friend you're super close with.
Imagine Game freaks trying to make good and innovative games.
That ending is probably the closest we’ll ever get to those anime moments where the Pokémon evolves mid-battle
Wide is pog
34:59 Ant: I think it's time I get the second badge now
*has a Gyarados and Nidoking already
That's not bad... I mean like, misty's starmie is like level 21 I think, so even if he had a level cap, a gyarados and a nidoking would be normal, because you can get gyarados at level 20, and nidoking at least at level 16...
@@hotd0gw8 No, it's not bad for this challenge specifically. But in a normal run, having a Bulbasaur with Vine Whip is typically enough because Gen 1's "good AI" will flub up so many attacks. It'll use Water Gun, Tackle, or Misty will use an XDefend instead of using Bubblebeam, her best attack.
Ohhh okok I get it...
14:09 for some reason in red/blue nidoran learns double kick at level 43, but in yellow it's level 12. Another example of Gen 1 being Gen 1
They lowered the required level in yellow so that you could actually use it for Brock's gym, since red blue you have more options
@@mortisoculi8943 holy crap gen 1 actually had some logic
@@briankaste6931 yeah, yellow actually has some cool additions specifically for Brock. I remember as a kid being stuck on Brock forever because I tried to win with Pikachu, Rattata, pidgey/pidgeotto, butterfree and Nidoran male and female without knowing double kick was super effective against his Geodude and Onix.
They also added a Mankey to route 22 (the route west of Viridian City that leads to the pokemon league) and added low kick to Mankey's learnset, it was exclusive to machop in Red and Blue. Also I think karate chop was normal in gen I for whatever reason
@@OpIvyPunk dude your knowledge about gen1is over the top , op
The reason they changed it to 12 is because you start with a Pikachu and they figured you'd need something to beat Brock, since electric moves don't work on his pokemon. This is the same reason Mankey got moved to Nidoran's route in Yellow as well.
If this was BW then cynthia would be actually impossible. Someone took her exact team (different moves) and got to top 100 smogon with that team, before garchomp got banned of course.
Further proof that Cynthia is the strongest Champion.

@@alejandrorivas4585 46:43
8:00 This is pretty much what the Missigno. glitch sounded to me the first time I heard it from some kid at a highway restaurant.
This would make an amazing animation- imagine Ant walking around, followed by a ghostly wolf that hides in the shadows, sneaking up behind each and every trainer that Ant comes across and possessing their body, throwing their Pokémon against the poor kid from Pallet Town, letting them go the moment that all their Pokémon have fainted and they are no longer useful in its quest.
That is such a cool idea, someone do that. (I’m not talented at animation lol)
This concept makes me wonder how hellish Cynthia would be if she was controlled by a top ranking competitive Pokémon player.
Very hellish considering that her team is built with coverage in mind
If only gen4 was easier to mod
@@behindthesmile1276 If a professional controlled cynthia I'd be loosing even with a full 100 team :O
I somehow have this strange idea for a 2 player game. Both player starts in a safari-like area, where they can freely train or catch new pokemon. In like every 15 minutes, they are forced to face each other in a match with what they have. This repeats in like several times up to how many matches they want.
There's videos on TH-cam of people doing that with randomised pokemon spawns on sword and shield
There is a warcraft3 custom game called pokemon world that is this, but you only get transported at the end for final tournament. while in zones can fight if you want

Throwing the pokeball glitching out the items into the level up saving you by 1 hp is the craziest shit I've ever seen in a pokemon run.
