  • People claim that Pokemon Red/Blue (aka Generation 1) is too easy. Well I decide to make it a little more challenging by trying to beat the entire game with just a Magikarp. Is it possible? Watch and find out!
    EDIT: 20,000 likes in 4 days?! You guys are unreal, I'll have to start looking for a GameShark/Action Replay for GBA, and then I can start on the next part!

    It is interesting that the guy that gives you the potion as a free sample of the Poke Mart, yet it doesn't sell potions. That guy is lousy at advertising.

      With Dragon Rage, an obvious Dragon Type movie with 10 PP, this should make some earlier fights much easier too.
      Doing 40 damage to the target while ignoring weaknesses and resistances will make some battles much easier.
      I'm sure Brock would have gone down much faster with Dragon Rage.

Your voice is nice, the videos are long, and theres no screaming or upsetting noises. Overall, its just really relaxing to listen to and has helped my insomnia a lot. I love all these videos and feel like I can recite them by heart at this point. Thank you for making the content you do! And sorry if this is a weird comment haha

    Use the magikarp to beat gen 2 with tackle and typeless struggle. Not *a* Magikarp. *THE* Magikarp. Trade over the lv45 Magikarp from your gen 1 game and use that.
    It will be over-leveled, but it also won't obey you. Most of the time it will skip turns or fall asleep. Have fun!

      It may be a move with a 100% accuracy but the pokemon you are facing will try to dogde it.The only way to get a truly 100% hit rate would be if the pokemon you are facing either does not try to dodge it or is too slow.

    Technically it is possible to beat the game with Magikarp if you were one of the 20 people to obtain the university Magikarp Japan gave out as an event back in 98'. Which means you could have dragon rage on the Magikarp allowing you to defeat the ghost Pokemon. I'd gameshark the move on and continue the video and just mention that it is possible under those circumstances.
