“...was it worried about you?” is a great line that I’m happy to know about, both because it’s genuinely kind of heartwarming and also because it’s a not-so-subtle dig at any player unintuitive enough to find themselves in the situation of releasing all their HM users
I first saw that message in a randomised Nuzlocke, the first Nuzlocke I ever saw to be honest (it was awful, can't remember the content creator's name). He had a Vulpix named Naruto and tried to release it but it came back despite not knowing any HM moves (a side effect of the randomiser I think) and he kept it... then he died again and stayed dead.
@@BloodThirstyAvengers im pretty sure the same message came up in gen 3 if your friendship was high enough as well!

The fact that The Horde literally eats your save data on purpose goes along too well with the cover art 😂
In Red and Blue, you can lock yourself from progress early on in the game by evolving your starter before delivering Oak's Parcel. Instead of accepting the parcel, he'll rate a non-existent PokéDex, and since you haven't received a PokéDex and triggered the event, the Old Man in Viridian won't let you pass.
I guess they didn't expect you to grind that much
Lamarck Leland I think it's because the number of seen pokemon you have is > 1, so it thinks you have the Pokedex.
How the hell do you grind all the way to Charizard only on Route 1 and forget you didn't deliver the parcel?
Cadeboy 13 riiiiiiiiight..
Cadeboy 13 but you still wasted your time grinding level 2s until you get level 36? That would literally take days of nonstop playing. Shut the fuck up lol

If a video game started deleting my saved data for OTHER games I would start a riot.
I'm still perplexed why it does that intentionally.
@@BloodThirstyAvengers I've been scouring the comments for someone asking this exact question!
I was confused aswell, and I was even MORE confused that nothing on TH-cam, or on wikepedia, or even review websites mentioned it. So I went to the saving grace that is reddit.
The game, basically, wants you to be able to use as much space as possible! It doesn't want you to *not* be able to save the game and lose all your progress just because you didn't have enough disk space.
So, on the FIRST save of your game, it simply deletes every other saved game on your NVRAM. Everything. It doesn't just 'start' to delete it, or have a chance to delete it, it just deletes it all.
This is only with first editions of the game, though. The publishers actually let people exchange their copies for the newest ones if they, I don't know, had a problem with the rest of their game's save files getting deleted. On the new ones, you can save the game up to four times (I'm not sure if it's that number exactly, or if it's just the average time you start running out of space), which then the game will prompt you if you want to delete other save game datas.
I don't know if I'm allowed to send links in youtube comments, but this is the title of the Reddit post I got this information from. It's just a copy-paste of an old archived games forum. This is the post,
[[From a very old archived ClassicGaming.com FAQ:
"Q: Hey! I played The Horde, saved a game, and now all of my other non-Horde saved games in NVRAM are gone! What happened?
A: The first version of The Horde deleted all other non-horde saved games in NVRAM when you saved a game. Amazingly, this was not a bug.. the game was designed to do this to give players the maximum amount of ram for Horde saved games! Crystal Dynamics is aware that this is a problem for most people and will allow you to exchange your NVRAM devouring copy of the horde, should you happen to get one, for the latest one (with less of an appetite). The new version will only allow you to save four games, and will allow you to delete NVRAM files when it is full."]]
And somebody in the comments says how to tell if your version of the game is patched. If it says "61030-C RCB" on the game disk, it's good to play.
The other reason the Tea was added to the remakes was to keep you from getting to Saffron early by having a friend give a drink to a Pokémon to hild and trade it to you
Note that you can sort of do that in Gen 1 through Stadium shenanigans as well, and this was a known quantity before the remakes came out.
Have a 100th like
@John Marston I'm talking about FRLG. If you could get into Saffron with a vending machine drink in those games, you could have a friend give one to a Pokémon and trade it to you, allowing you to get to Saffron before you even beat Misty. That's why they changed it so you have to give them tea you can only get in Celadon instead
I assume that was the only reason actually
@@Chernobog2 And because there is an another method to get in Saffron city the drink trading method why doesn't works?
fighting a wild meowth who uses payday, and you pick up the coins after defeating them
That's something I didn't think of. Although, Meowth can only be found in the wild in Blue version, so Red and Yellow are still doomed.
I am glad there is at least a video on this safari lockout topic.
I kinda wondered this myself months ago when I was playing the games on the 3DS.
The information on this topic is pretty scattered and this is the first video to almost comprehensively covered it.
Now, even with the encountering of Meowth, it will take a while since the wild Meowth has to actually use the move.
Another thing, you can trade pokemon with the games being on the 3DS but if all of them are on one, I do not think the games can be traded in between.
Just thought of something. If you can't buy pokeballs and make your only Pokemon a ghost type, then the Meowth's pay day won't even be able to hit you, which means, you shouldn't be able to get any money from it.
Pikasprey Yellow if it doesn't hit, do coins not scatter? I'm curious, but too lazy to check right now
you could also make the pokemon super high level and only have attacking moves so that it will one shot the meowth regardless
9:55 They changed it to the Key Item tea because Held Items had become a thing, which means if it was still Fresh Water, Lemonade or Soda Pop you could progress prematurely by trading for a Pokémon holding one of these items.
Pokémon can't hold items in gen 1
@@Staruo356 Exactly, but they CAN in FireRed and Leafgreen, who are Gen 3, hence why it was changed into a Key Item in those games.

As a kid my guess with the guards at Saffron was a workers' strike. The player brings drinks that the guards misinterpret as a olive branch from Saffron City officials and end the strike, or they're cool with Red coming and going as he pleases and there's no break in the strike.
I was a strange child.
Good guess but I assumed that Team Rocket was forcing them to do it but giving them water makes them willing to make an exception? (This theory has more holes than swiss cheese.)
@@gamersinacontainer Or... the signal for the guards to let someone through that Team Rocket gave them is delivering a drink!
@@craigyeah1052 I like that!
Classic case of kid with an overactive imagination.
That’s pretty smart, actually.
Surf is hidden behind a paywall. Thanks EA!
You missed the simplest method that actually got a few people by accident. On the route to Bills house there is an area that you can cut to reach to get an item (I'm certain its a TM). An alternate method is to make the trainer blocking the area move to battle you, walk around him and hey presto, no CUT pokemon required. If you then save your game, the trainer is back in their original position meaning the only way out is to use CUT. If you have no CUT pokemon to escape (bearing in mind it is too early in the game to FLY) and you haven't caught an Abra in the same route, then when you load your game up, you are trapped with no means of escape.
bear in mind you can't even trade your way out of this one
I forgot.. Don't you need a pokemon center to trade pokemon?
If so. You have fucked the game up 100% legitamately. You're quite damn smart. I remember that was an odd scenario, Which shouldn't have occured. Truth be told; I didn't fully realize that was a death trap
Good job sir. That's very smart of you.

That's impossible because the volcano is hardcoded to not erupt while Red is on the island.

The pokemon center moved, so I guess it got rebuilt?
Honestly, I think the inability to re-fight trainers was always a problem, if those trainer fights were also the only way to earn money. Aside from Meowth/Persian, that is. Hell, even if money wasn't an issue, Game Freak should have implemented something like that from the beginning, for people who wanted to re-try enjoyable fights. This is a game, after all.
But it was a ground-breaking set of games, that were experimental (and built on stringent hardware limitations). So we can't blame Game Freak too much. Especially since all subsequent games experimented with ways around these earlier problems.
Actually, re-battling was always an intended feature from Red/Green/Blue onward.
I liked the phone number system I believe came with gold/silver? Was an awesome and innovative mechanic which added more of a realistic feel along with re beatable trainers.
The lack of refighting trainers became even more obnoxious in X and Y and Sun and Moon (and soon Sword and Shield) since you need to buy clothes if you want to customize your trainer and all the clothing options are quite pricey compared to actual items that help you play the game. You even need to pay every time you want to change your hair!
I mean, sure, you don't *need* to customize your trainer, but adding a mechanic like this just highlights how broken and limited the money system is in these games. Paying to buy clothes or get haircuts isn't a problem in Animal Crossing because you always have a means to get more money, but in Pokemon you can blow all your money on fashion and be unable to buy any potions to help you beat the gym leaders.
Let me re-fight the trainers in Lets Go i need money and grind my team ffs
@@pkmnTrainerGold0 sword and shield is by far the easiest to earn money even without gigantamax meowth you pick up so many items that are sellable.
The safari zone trap actually only works in red. In blue, you can fight a wild meowth, and if it uses payday, you get the coins on winning. Since in gen 1 it didn't matter which side used it, the winner gets the pot.
If your only Pokemon is a ghost type coins don't scatter, thus no money attained
On the TEA key item - while it does make it impossible to trap yourself by running out of money, the reason it was introduced was that you could give items to pokemon in the 3rd generation games. You could thus get the drink you would buy in the original games much earlier in the remakes through trading. The TEA item was introduced to prevent sequence breaking this way.

@@sleazymeezy yeah but if he just tossed the items he bought, it would be faster and easier?? also the items in his bag can be TOSSED if they can be sold?? so theres no point!
Actually the reason why the drink was changed to tea on the remake was to avoid players getting to Saffron earlier by trading a pokémon holding a drink to their FR/LG games.

Here's an easier way of also getting stuck forever. Enter the League with a single Poison or Fighting-type Pokemon in your team that is not weak to Ice-type moves, that knows Rage as its only move, and that cannot possibly 3-hit KO Lorelei's Dewgong with it. Preferably, enter also without any item usable in battle. When you fight against Lorerei's Dewgong (her first Pokemon), she will keep selecting Rest forever (due to the AI), and you will be stuck using Rage forever as soon as you select it. Neither enemy Pokemon nor the Rage's lock keep track of PP. You also cannot leave Lorelei's room without winning or losing the battle, so your only option is to start a new game.
Just amazing, Crystal_. This is actually an astonishing way to finish off your Pokémon adventure!

I've been watching softlock videos like this for a while, but it just occurred to me that this could be why so many of the rodents can learn Surf and Strength.
I think if you made a series on *making* various games impossible, it would blow up your channel for originality. (I haven't seen anything like this before)
Exactly, the player needs to go out of their way to soft lock their game to make this interesting. Not do something that the developer planned themselves or shouldn't have predicted.
Tv Tropes has a page for this phenomenon called Unwinnable By Insanity.
Another word for what he is doing is "soft locking" the game. These soft locking has been covered on other youtube channels. I do like this anyway and hope he continues.
Also the failed prophecy message does not mean the game is unwinnable in Morrowind...It's just now Dark Souls hard to win. Notable things you have to do include killing Vivec for a plot item.
There is another person who's already done this their channel name is whoisthisgit and they've done at least one of these for every generation before I think 5.

Oh, for a second I thought you were going to talk about the 'move pokemon' glitch where you CAN clone pokemon by moving a pokemon (from your party, I think) to a box, and if you turn off the game at the right point during the 'SAVING... DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER" screen, you'll have the pokemon in your party and in your box. Too early, and it's still in your party, not in the box. Too late and it's either in your box or it's gone forever.
@@krystallinekrispretty sure in the method you couldn't lose a pokemon. I only did it in Gen 2 and there either nothing happened or you got the clone. Did it over a hundred of times and never lost a pkmn
@@DexTag I only said that because I was almost certain I've seen a friend lose a pokemon before, but it's old memory.

As a kid, I played the remakes first and was stuck for days, getting mad "Why won't he take the lemonade!" And the tea thing confused me. I wish they made both work.
I never played the originals so I was just really confused why this guard took tea and there wasn't a story event or something.
as a kid whose brother played the remake of what I was playing, I did the exact opposite and complained that there was nobody at the corner of celadon giving tea for free
I actually had the issue of playing the original and not knowing about the drinks being a thing... Of course I was 5 or something.
They added the one in the remakes specifically to remove the one from the originals.
On Route 25, north of Cerulean City on your way to Bill's House, it is possible to battle the JR. Trainer (Male) in front of the enclosed section where there is a Cut tree and TM 19 Seismic Toss. If you're at the bottom of his sight range when you trigger his battle, this will walk him away from the entrance of the section, allowing you to enter and pick up the TM before you gain access to Cut. However, if you then save your game inside this square and turn it off, when you reload the game he will have returned to his original standing position, blocking the entrance of the square and making it impossible to leave without the use of teleport.
I actually did this when I was a kid the first time I played the game I also did the saffron one wasting that kind of money was easy when you didn't know you needed it for anything.
Think of how alarmingly easy that is to trigger. Imagine a kid being forced by their parent to turn off their game, and they happened to go for that Seismic Toss TM without Cut. Thanks to that parent, the kid's game is ruined.
Great going, Game Freak!
I've got the solution for the drink for the guard to enter Saffron problem in Yellow version. You see, you can still enter the safari zone so we can take advantage of that, this means that you can catch any Pokemon that is catch-able in the safari zone, it just might take a while since you only have one pokeball (Or, Safari ball rather). Now for this trick to work you need a fishing rod, You can get an Old from from a fisherman in a house in Vermillion City. Thankfully the Old Rod is a key item, so you can't accidentally toss it like you did all your other items earlier. Now that you have your fishing rod, head over to the Safari Zone as mentioned earlier and fish with your old rod. If you're *lucky* you'll encounter the legendary Pokemon Magikarp. Now because it's so legendary it might be difficult to catch with your Safari ball but keep at and you'll eventually catch it. If you have more than six pokemon in your party it will be transported to your PC (or technically Bills PC, your PC holds items silly) So it's recommended you catch the Magikarp with less than 6 pokemon in your party, that way you won't miss a single moment with this majestic Pokemon. Now that you have Magikarp on your party you're almost done. All you have to do is go to the nearest Pokemon Center and talk to everyone who comes in, tell them you have a very rare Pokemon for sale, Magikarp might be a legendary Pokemon but this is an emergency situation and we're low on cash so we only have one solution... sell it for 500.
MrJimbo1qaz whoosh
Pez7373737 I don't know...I feel like that would only work if you came up with a solid marketing scam, put them in gold plated pokéballs, and sold it to unsuspecting anti-villains.
Pez7373737 you're not supposed to grab ANY fishing rods
missed a perfect opportunity to end that little ramble with the fresh prince theme song...........
the lore about the salesman near Mt Moon, he just wants to see his dad(?) again in the safari zone :O
The first and second situation presented aren't actually impossible, even without trading with another game. You see, you don't actually need to catch a Meowth to use Pay Day. You can just battle wild ones next to Celadon city and have them use Pay Day on you for you to actually start getting money, thus getting out of the money-less situation. Cool tricks though!
This series explains why the escape rope is a permanent key item in sword/shield, why the fishing rod is locked in your inventory from the beginning, and a whole lot of other changes that probably were made to prevent you from softlocking

THE END
I think the drink was changed in the remake was because the item could be given to a Pokemon and traded, allowing you to reach the city long before they intended originally.
That's another interesting idea. I had never thought of doing something like that when I was younger,
Michael Freeman You except you couldn't give your pokemon items
He's talking about the remakes.
I believe in the original games you could transfer items through Stadium or something, I definitely remember doing "Get to Saffron City early" glitches at some point.
You can still get drinks you need long before intended in the original as well. It might be considered an external device but Pokemon Stadium allowed you to store Pokemon and Items on the N64 cart which in turn allowed you to freely trade any item or pokemon from one game to another. Pokemon with HMs were even allowed to be traded this way. I did this to completely skip the S.S. Anne. With the drinks you get this way you can get full access to Saffron City just after you get your 2nd badge.
i think the tea that you give to guards was made a key item instead of a real item to fix another issue. hold items are now a thing, so a friend could pass you a pokemon holding a drink, so you could sequence break.
Hell, I think that was a problem back in the original games too (I think). I remember hearing something about using Pokemon Stadium to get fresh water and sequence breaking the game that way.
Indeed. In Pokémon Stadium 2 there's a feature called the Color Case where you can store any item that isn't a key item in a box. You simply get fresh water with another copy of Red, Blue or Yellow and put it in the Color Case. Then you simply open the case with your new save file and transfer it back into the game. You can use this same method (albeit with the normal boxes) to store a pokémon that knows surf, after which you can surf past the tree in Vermilion city and skip getting the cut HM.
don't you need a badge to use surf
I agree. That's the real reason they changed it to Tea, because in FRLG it's easy to get Fresh Water when you're at Cerulean by trading.
And yes, you need Koga's badge to use Surf. Although you can actually beat Koga before Surge if you want to and Surf around to his gym later on. You can go to almost the end of the game without battling Lt. Surge! In RBY you can even get the 7th badge before getting the 3rd.
I Ss same for hgss and gsc
The reason why the fresh water was changed for a tea is because of held items, so you couldn't trade from another game and get there earlier than intended
I have a Japanese Green version and the previous owner had somehow managed to throw Fly away, and had no pokemon knowing it. I tried to get the move, but he apparently already had gotten it, so he probably exploited a glitch or something to erase it.
I really thought using Fly on his game was definitely impossible, but then i screwed around with the Japanese-only Select glitches and his Hypno somehow learned Fly. Lol
Fly is a completely optional HM, as it is out of the way and walking and surfing can take you around just fine. That's how he did it.
@Jenny Shull Yes, using its nose
@@Somerandomperson-hl1kt Hypno inflates its nose like a balloon and its trainer has to grab him on its back.
On the subject of Pokémon Green, I remeber playing a translated version of it on a reproduction cartridge, back in the day, where you could skip Pewter City entirely. Despite existing glitches that makes you skip Brock's Gym, I recall heading straight to Mt. Moon without doing any glitches or beating the gym. I don't own the cartridge, anymore, so I can't confirm if that's even possible.

Jared White have you ever heard of the 8F glitch
You know there's whole careers dedicated to doing exactly that? Think it's called QA; you don't need much coding experience just cohesive writing ability to type up bug reports and lots and lots of patience._ Most people would go nuts doing dumb stuff repetitively like in Zelda pulling out a bomb every five feet and making sure you don't clip through the walls or floors and get stuck. Happened to me once in OoT while riding Epona onto thin ledges or corners Poe hunting in the 3DS version. No room to dismount and Epona can't move backwards.

That's not why they changed it to Tea. They made it a key item so you couldn't have a Pokemon hold the item and trade it to another game. They wanted to stop people like me, who use Pokemon Stadium 2 to bypass Rock Tunnel in Gen 1.
Step 1: Put Fresh Water, Lemonade, or Soda Pop in the Color Case
Step 2: Put the drink on a game that you barely started
Step 3: Give it to the guard south of Cerulean City.
They really want us to go through freaking rock tunnel huh
For the Cinnabar Island one, you also have to make sure the one Pokemon you keep is not a Ponyta. One of the old men in the lab offers to trade you a Seel for your Ponyta. Because Seel can learn Surf, this is a workaround to the predicament.

About the entry fee in the safari zone.

I'd watch a whole series about 'how the hell did they let this happen.' As well as a compilation of softlocks.
Isn't there a glitch at the beginning of the game where if you evolve your starter before getting Oak's parcel, you soft lock the game into thinking you have a Dex when you don't?
Pikasprey stated that he didn’t want to use glitches
one thing I accidentally did when I was kid playing sapphire is use abra's (from dewford) teleport and go back to petalburg's Pokemon center then save. when I went to mr. briney's hut he was not there so I couldn't go back to dewford where i still haven't finished looking for steven
ciel sensei lol
ciel sensei then what did you do?
this happened to me too!!
Is there a way out of that?
ciel sensei i remember doing this T_T.....restarted over
Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow: now it’s impossible to get yourself stuck
Pikasprey: *hold my beer*
As I have learned from your newer videos, metronome payday.
If you're too broke for Pokeballs, then you can't catch a metronome Pokemon.
@@DogDogGodFog Its still possible to get a pokemon with metronome and forget this soft lock exists until it occurs
Clicked so fast. Great content. Definitely an underrated TH-camr.
Alden Flores i agree
Alden Flores agreed
TRUE, YO.
Why are you bothering to resell the items you bought for half the price? Just toss them like you did with the ones you already had. This is a great concept by the way and I'd love to see this for lots of other games. Unfortunately I'm too lazy to do that myself, so I guess my only chance is to subscribe to your channel and hope for the best.
Lancer So that the player ends up broke after gaining less money than they spend until they don’t have enough money to afford anything.
Isn't their also a very simple soft lock on the way to Bill's house when you first reach Cerulean City?
If you make a trainer walk out of his initial position by locking eyes with him, you can slip into a space he was blocking off, where it is possible to find a TM. Then if you save and restart, he appears back where he was originally, blocking the way out. The only way to escape would be CUT, which you wouldnt have the HM OR Badge for, as well as no badge for Fly, making Teleport the only way to escape. If you don't have Abra, you are stuck forever. This is a true soft lock because there is no way to trade or access the box to retrieve pokemon from Stadium.
Also in Cinnabar Mansion there is a trainer you can battle that will block off the only exit if fought at a certain angle. If you dont have Dig, Teleport, or an Escape Rope you are also out of luck.
i thought trainers stay where they are at when you saved when you reload?
I thought I was such a baller sneaking in to grab that TM19(?) and teaching it to my Drowzee before I could use cut
@@greatduck5297 They only do this if you save in the spot they originally stood in. This way, you won't load a save standing right inside one of them. This wasn't considered for trees, though, so you can save and reload a game inside a tree.
"...But this is the internet, so they will anyway..." - Haha I love you
here's an idea. do the cinnabar island one, release all pokemon except a level 100 mewtwo(i checked, mewtwo can't learn surf or fly) give the game to a friend, say they can keep it, watch them scream in damnation forever
that is, if they don't have stadium or another game and a link cable
Ari Silver
My God that's evil. XD
UmbreonBro but then they forfeit the mewtwo
I like the trap in gen 4 on the Magikarp trade Island. Make sure the pokemon you have can't escape (with the execption of the fineon that gets traded) and also make sure to not have any rods or any rare candies (so you can't evolve the magikarp). If you have done all of that, you are permanently stuck.
Harold Saxon I have another way:Bring a wobbofeut (I'm sure I spelt that wrong) without any other Pokémon and poke Ball and go find a ditto.
the wobbofeut must not have any attack moves.
Wouldn't you eventually run out of PP though?
Harold Saxon then what will happen (that never happened to me)
there is this move called struggle, that is fairly weak, that does damage to yourself but also damages the other person. I know because I had pretty much the same situation with a Wynaut and a Raltz, and the Raltz had trace so I couldn't escape, and no one could attack. But if you wait long enough the battle would eventually end.
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for putting these vids together, it's really a lot of fun to take a look at some of these completely nonsensical situations that most people would never even consider in any normal play-through of the game. Great job describing the situations, and keep up the good work!
where can I find this list of "how the heck did they let this happen?"
I'm interested to learn more cases
if you’re still curious, i have a couple i could share.
like… the Japanese release of Blue Rescue Team would wipe the save data of any GBA game in the DS’s second slot, other than Red Rescue Team.
it was so bad that Ninendo actually had to recall copies of Blue Rescue Team so they could fix them.
or if you received the 2004 holiday demo disc, which contained a demo for Viewtiful Joe 2. for some reason, hitting the 20-minute mark would cause it to lock up… and format your memory cards in slots A _and_ B behind the scenes.
this is a very underrated youtuber
Ah yes, bankruptcy is the best
I got introduced to your Channel via the completing the entire game with just one ditto video. And now after seeing this video and see what Great Lengths you went to make the game completely incompletable, I am subscribing!
These are always fascinating.
As a note for the change from Fresh Water to the Tea key item in FRLG may also be because Pokémon can hold items (which they couldn't in Gen 1) and be traded, you could have sequence broken by having a friend trade you a Pokémon holding the item. You actually CAN sequence break like this with Pokémon Stadium, as it lets you transfer items between RBY games.
You forgot to mention the; save your game after getting an item behind a player in the top of Cerulean city whilst heading towards BILL.
That one actually got one of my buddies back in 1999~
No trading pokemon to get you out of that.
I don't get it. How does that make you stuck?
WeedIsHealthyForYou
There's an item above Cerulean City which can be accessed by either cutting down a tree, or getting a trainer to move closer to you for a battle. If you use the latter option, don't have a Pokemon with Cut, Teleport, Fly, or Dig, and have no items, you can save and reset afterwards to reset the trainer's position, leaving you with no way to get out. The trainer won't move, and you can't cut the tree down.
Plus since you need a Pokemon Center to trade, and you can't access that, you can't trade your way out either.
But the trainer would stay moved after saving?
@@greatduck5297 not if u save restart
You forgot about getting trapped on Route 25
Do you mean the trainer that allows you to go get the item, that's behind the tree, you would otherwise cut? Does he return to his original position if you get the item, save and reset the game?
Jernej Fric Yes. That's exactly what happens.
I got stuck like that knowing profissional pokemon gameplay xD how noob am i?
This channel perfectly fits the description of something I never knew I needed or wanted, but cannot now live without.
I was like you and thought I knew the games inside and out - love to find new secrets like this, it brings me back to the feelings of mystery Pokemon had to me as a child. Many thanks!
So was this actually a glimpse of Rusty's life?
Damian P lol
Damian P wrong
Damian P yes
No. There would have been more collateral damage if it were Rusty. If it were Rusty, this ending would be a blessing compared to what he would normally have caused.
Ye
Theres a guy on youtube who did this for other Pokemon games (and this one). His channel name is whoisthisgit. he doesnt use glitches either
First Name Last Name I don't know why, but the message "Was it worried about you" really tugged my heart strings.
First Name Last Name He is one of the MOST unnoticed TH-camr ever.
I've never been able to release any of my pokemon because I got too emotionally attached to them and the thought of abandoning my precious pokemon made me feel guilty. I'm definitely an empath :P
Lub Lub uses his toothbrush like everyone else, one leg at a time.
"I just put a child in harms way for a youtube video, and I am okay with that." Is the best quote I've heard in a long time.
I’m not even into pokemon anymore, and the video is long for what it is, but dang your voice and commentary is so good I have to watch it all! Good video
Actually, Wild meowth can still use Pay Day, and by encountering and defeating them enough you can obtain money that way. As such, it's impossible to get stuck in that particular way, *unless wild meowth somehow don't have pay day at the level you encounter them or something*
Make your Pokémon a ghost type.
LavaringX
It would not work unless your meowth use payday... godamn f**k
Opposing Pokemon using pay day still makes you pick up scattered coins at the end of the battle...
I was going to post about this as well. In theory, this should work for Blue version. Red didn't have wild Meowth in it, so couldn't use this exploit for that one.
Gray Lantern What about encountering a wild Pokémon that knows metronome, then that Pokémon gets payday through metronome?
I feel like this video should've been released 18 years ago
in 1999???
@@tommybomby4122 well yea
wow, i'm bad at counting lol
Yeah he should have made it before TH-cam existed
@@amandac326 you seem to have missed the joke
You could always battle Meowth if he uses the move payday you get paid at the end of the flight
Meowth's a Blue version exclusive, so you would simply need to perform the lock in Red version
Interestingly, you can also go on Cycling Road in Gen I without a bike. Nothing actually stops you from walking forward, and you aren't forced back when the person tells you that you need a bike. The Yellow Safari Zone fix always makes me think of this for some reason.
I know in the dpp pokemon games you can break the game by going to rt 226 and do the trade for the German magikarp by trading him the Finneon knowing surf and in the party with a pokemon that can't learn surf AND never to pick up any of the rods (And saving after the trade so you can't soft reset yourself out)
you know i actually think i did that to myself back when i was a kid. i had to turn it off without saving and do the trade again.
not really considering you most likely have an other pokemon to switch rain the magikarp to a gyarados
You can only get Finneon through fishing, and you're only trapped if you don't have fishing rods, so you'd have to trade with another game for the Finneon.
actually, i think it would be possible to get trapped there by having six pokemon? so long as finneon was the one knowing surf, and none of your other pokemon could learn fly, surf, teleport, or dig, you trade for the magikarp and then no matter what you fish, you can't catch it to surf away? but then i suppose you could train the magikarp to gyarados that way...hmm.
Ari Silver you dont have any rod or rare candies that's why you will get stuck with your magikarp
Thank you for yet another very informative video Pika :-)
1. I had no idea there was hidden play coins on the floor at the Game Corner
2. I had no idea that if you release your last Pokémon in Gen 3, it will return "being worried about you" (as I never release any of my Pokémon)
You can't release your last pokemon on any games (I believe); that only happens when you try to release a pokemon that already knows an HM move.
whiz 85 is correct
Warrior I thought that only happened if they had an HM that you needed in order to get onto the main roads. Like, if you're on an island and try to release the only Pokemon you had with surf
I’ve got a good one of these for you I think. In Diamond and Pearl there is a trainer that lives on an island on route 226 that wants to trade a Fineon for a Magikarp, to get to the island you need to use surf.
However, if Fineon is the only Pokemon in your party to know surf and you don’t have any of the rods given to you in the game or fly or teleport, you’ve essentially traded away your one hope of leaving the Island.
I feel like this might be quite a famous one however.
13:06 FRIEND used STRUGGLE....
Its SUPER EFFECTIVE!
I think the reason why they were trying to keep people out of Saffron City probably had something to do with Team Rocket taking over the Silph building
Welp, found the perfect channel to waste my day on. Subscribed.
I wonder if you can do this in real life
Honeyblaze yes, you can get stuck in life if you waste your money and only have 1 partner.
It's called marriage, don't try.
You can, beat up every single person and ask them for money, sell your spare items in the most cheap way. But spare money to get the legendary item, bleach. Use the item and game over... saldy you cannot restart the game. There is only one load save for every game of "Real Life"
AleksSDF it's worse. It's always worse.
I'm just waiting for death to save me from this miserable excuse for an existence.
No, Death is always an escape.

Nice video - one thing you should've added (unless I am mistaken) in the first and second scenarios, is to not own a Ditto, as you'd be able to transform vs a Meowth and copy Payday to use in battle
This first one (but leaving the Game Corner as an option) and the 240 days with Caterpie are probably my favorites for "hand a friend the game and offer to give them $300 if they beat it without cheating" idea.
"You'll be broke in no time" that made me LOL so hard
