- Pokemon Red is one of the all time great games to play with a modified ruleset. I love the idea of changing just one small detail and dramatically effecting how you interact and play something. So I racked my brain, and tried to come up with something really original, something you can't find anywhere else. Unfortunately my concept removed saving, healing and enjoying the game from the equation, so I think I made a pretty successful challenge run! So, now the only question is, do you need the letters A or E to complete Pokemon Red?
Thanks for watching! This has been keeping me busy for awhile, and I hope this nutty challenge of mine will keep you entertained. I had a great time working on this, and I hope you enjoyed watching. If you did, please consider Liking, sharing, commenting or subscribing! And why not pound the bell on your way out?
As always, I need to give proper thanks to my Patrons for their incredible kindness and generosity. Thank you all! / seergames

I admire Seer's brilliance in avoiding vaporeon without specifically mentioning vaporeon.
i like to imagine that he actually conceptualized it the other way around, he wanted to lick and pound his way through everything so he conceived a ruleset that would make that the only path forward.
No mention of the A button, yet we participate in society. Curious
You're right, that would've been fun to do! But then I would've just made the "Can you beat pokemon Red without hitting any buttons?" challenge lol
@@seer6251 By my understanding the answer to that depends on whether you own a goldfish.
This feels like i am watching Pikasprey but he had 5 divroces and a history in alcoholism.. and i like it
There's no reading out every "saving... do not turn off the game" prompt in as blandly a tone as a human could muster over a 10 hour playthrough so it can't be Pikasprey.
this feels like i am watching jrose but without needing to take a shot every time he does a count von count impression or says "rival fival"
@@gaminggoddess85"Pikasprey yellow" channel is fine, I like his "soft lock picking" videos but you're talking about his "blue" channel with his VODs which is giga boring. I fall asleep to Pokemon content and his VODs were irritating to listen to.
you having to go back to your house after every wipe reminds me of when I was a kid playing this game and thought the pokemon centers said "police" and never going inside because I thought it was jail. I was a third of the way through the game before I realized they heal you.
Cheat counter (aside from those already mentioned, like HMs):
Most were mandatory. However, the options menu revealed some things that weren't.
Battle style you changed from shift (legal) to sEt (illegal)
Text speed was fAst (illegal) the entire game. mEdium would also be illegal. Slow was the only legal option.
Clearly, this challenge needs to be redone with slow text speed.
Other instances I caught:
A button
StArt Button
All gym bAdgEs
sAvEd at your house (mentioned at 25:30)
pokE flutE
yEs (mandatory dialog option, rocket game corner, blaine's gym at least)
If we're gonna be getting this pedantic... HM and TM stand for "hiddEn mAchinE" and "tEchincAl mAchinE"; all those times a fight is lost the character blAckEd out; and finally, it's played on a gAmEboy, so even booting it up is cheating! 😜
@@the_Ghost_OwlI found it funny he allowed going "HomE" cause he called it a "crib" but didn't allow the "pAd" in lavender town tower and I don't think it's ever called a pad, could've called it "floor" or "spot". I was wondering if he'd count the pokemon league healing spot cause it technically isn't a "pokEmon cEnter" but I guess "lEAguE" is breaking the rules so much he had to hoof it.
He's using PokEmon too. He's gotta beat the whole game without using them
He could have taught Surf (and Strength, if we ignore the law) to a Rhydon as well. Had access to one earlier too.
He wAlked
I like how he mentions jynx is the only viable pokemon in a no vowels challenge, changes it to a “no A or E challenge” and then proceeds to use jynx anyway lmao.
but in a no vowels he couldnt have used pound
or psychic@@MrHerbertbauer
@@MrHerbertbauer Or Psychic
More precisely, there are no moves in gen I that do not use vowels.
Y is a vowel most of the time, it certainly is a vowel in "jynx"
Fun fact for the early game : even if not resisted, lick doesn't deal more damage to Brock's pokemons than pound. But what it has is a pretty high chance to induce the paralysis, forcing Brock to waste a turn healing it. So it's still somewhat necessary to get.
Isn't Jynx's special stat higher than her attack? Even if the attack's power is half of pound's, it should do more damage considering resistances and defenses
@@Albertinio1994 In a world that made more sens, you would be correct. Unfortunately, in Gen I to III, all Ghost-type damaging moves are physicals and thus take the attack stat into account ; i wish it wouldn't be so, but it is.
Holy shit, you're right, I didn't know ghost was phys in gen 1. Then I don't understand why, but lick still does more damage than pound.
Try for yourself on the damage calculator of pokemon showdown for RBY with a lvl 16 jynx and a level 12 geodude.
@@Albertinio1994 Yeah, that's true : tough the effective power may be the same, lick still does more damage. Maybe it has to do with how type resistance factors in the damage calculation. I learned something today.
Man this guy always manages to come up with the most ridiculous AND most entertaining challenge runs
Yeah! Of all the RBY challenge runs I've seen (and I do follow JRose, love his stuff). This one was by far the most unique. despite being arbitrary it ended up being a legitimate interesting watch. and as usual Seer's commentary is absolute PEAK! He could literally make watching paint dry hilarious!

Dude your scripting and delivery are just incredible, I'm SO glad I found your channel, time to rewatch your other challenge videos for the 4th time tonight!
he mentioned back to the future on the nes, he really is the AVGN
edit - he mentions bugs bunny too
I think 99% of pokemon "challenges" are viewer bait, "oh can I beat pokemon red with only a Charizard?" Bro, I did this on my first playthrough as a 7 year old unintentionally. But this? This is actual art.
An irony is that technically 'Missing No.' would qualify for this challenge, assuming you stick with just what the displayed name is. Though the moves would be problematic I bet.
By default, it has Water Gun, Sky Attack, and another Water Gun, so those are out. By TM/HM, it learns Cut, Fly, Psychic, Submission, and Toxic. Note that it has a Special stat of 6 (for comparison, Hitmonchan, a Pokemon held back by his notoriously poor Special, has 35) so Psychic would be hilariously weak. Most of its other stats are trash too (it has a defense of 0, health of 33 and speed of 29), but it does have a higher base attack than any other Pokemon (at 136), so it could have decent Flys and Submissions and Cuts (it's a Normal type so it basically has 75 base power) if it could live long enough to hit with them.
That being said, Yellow Missingno is completely different, and also way worse, as it starts with Pay Day, Bind, and Water Gun and learns nothing by TM/HM, so you get to use a 15 power move with 70 accuracy for the whole game and then get stuck when you can't beat ghosts. Yellow Missingno also has different stats, with slightly more HP than Snorlax but garbage everything else, so it would be even more tedious than it sounds.
There's also the fossil Missingno, but they're just weird clones of other Pokemon; they do copy the TM/HM learnset of the bottom Pokemon in your party though, so you could get a clone of something great and potentially teach it all sorts of things, but that would be way more complicated to analyze.
Wow
MissingNo is trash. Better off using any of the other glitch Pokémon that exist.
@@hoodedman6579yellow has some very interesting glitch mons, tho even if you got one with decent stats and legal moves the method of obtaining said glitch mons would prob not be allowed
Glad you uploaded. I've gotten tired of repeating your other challenge videos over and over for this week
MOOD
The script here… chef’s kiss 👌 several hours of Lick and Pound is something I usually pay subscription fees to watch but here it is, gloriously repeated while I Chad silently in my mums basement with my box of tissues.
Getting the Seer Take on some shid I've seen a billion times on youtube is a breath of fresh air. Somehow.
seer, my boy, you've failed before the video even started. the title screen includes it
Hell if we are being very pedantic he fails before the title screen because the Nintendo logo shows up as soon as a the game (either through emulation or physical cart) is started.

Seer,
I lost my daughter (13) to suicide in June of this year. As you can imagine, my sense of humor and appreciation for video games both became insignificant in the wake of her death. I stumbled onto your channel about a month ago and have been insatiably binging your content since, especially your ARPG series. I appreciate your occasionally crass but very quick-witted humor. You've not only made me realize that I still love video games, but you've made me laugh many times, something that doesn't come easily these days. I'm even now working on some game review videos myself and plan to share how gaming has helped (or hindered) my grieving process.
Thank you for being a distraction during my darkest hour, brother. ❤
Not sure what worth the words of an internet stranger have, but I want to send you my sincere condolences and wish you the merriest Christmas possible to you
I truly am humbled and touched by this, thank you for your unreasonably kind words. I am so, truly sorry for your loss, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you find the support system you need, and if you ever want to chat with a lunatic like myself, feel free to reach out. I'm so glad I could offer you anything at all, and I wish you the best.
I'm so very sorry. Prayers from me to you.
Finally. The quality ARPG content I am subscribed for! Merry Christmas, Seer
Merry Christmas!

The fast-paced delivery of your vids is always fun. I have auditory processing issues so most of the time this sort of thing would be a nightmare to deal with, trying to follow along with someone talking so fast, but for some reason, the way you talk and deliver lines (it might be bc there's less variation in tone?) makes it so much easier to follow that I only lose where things are bc I stop actually paying attention (hello ADHD). Even then it's usually not hard to jump back in when I'm able to focus again.
Also you somehow manage to make near-constant dickjokes actually funny instead of exhausting and kind of gross so hey hats off to you dude.
The background tracks from Pokemon Puzzle League really sell it.
Can still hear Ritchies "YOURE THE BEST" while his snot nosed pikachu drops the entore dump on your head.
I love how this run is just Jynxed%
When Seer is near I never have fear, I cheer and drink beer!
You are one of few youtubers that consistently makes me actually laugh out loud, love the vids man
Bros writing is so good, love the scripts, mans funny af
That moment you realize you had a loophole with "Spot" and "Dig". No wait, that requires Nidoran to trade.
Damn it!
Why are you saving when you get back home? Sanity has an A in it
You of all people doing pokemon runs is not something I expected but i will happily welcome that crossover
"Are ya ready kids?"
"AYE AYE CAPTAIN!"
"I can't heeeeaaaar you!"

i fucking love ur videos man, the ability to be so consistently funny for 40 minutes plus come up with these wild challenges is very admirable and entertaining
Always a good time with a Seer video!
Assuming it's only species names and moves, get a Nidoking, give it Horn Drill, then at the start of every battle use an X accuracy and then you can sweep everything.
The idea is that Horn Drill is guaranteed to knock out the other Pokemon, but it only has 30% accuracy. An X accuracy in this gen makes moves ignore accuracy checks, meaning that Horn Drill will hit every single time.
I needed these laughs. You're the best.
I absolutely adore your content man! You are such a breath of fresh air in this site. Keep it up!
Really cool challenges! You're very funny and got a good flow with your videos!
This is the first video I've seen of yours and the energy and humor is so good, like dude you're funny as hell. Immediately subscribed
Seer you are totally crazy and i fking love it, keep it up!
Merry Christmas Seer! Hope you have a great holiday season, and thanks for the awesome video!
The pain this man inflicts upon himself is legendary! Merry Christmas Seer! Hope you get some good vidya you play normally at least once.
This challenge would be doable on a vanilla copy of Pokemon Platinum where you could start out with a Piplup with Pound, evolve it into Prinplup and get Whirlpool and Hydro Pump by level up as well as several moves by TM/HM, notably Surf. You wouldn't even have to solo run the game as there is a gift Porygon that you could evolve all the way to Porygon Z (assuming you can trade) and you can't use any of its level up moves but you can use Psychic by TM, and there's a Riolu gift egg as well which you couldn't evolve or use any of its Level up moves but by TM it gets Dig, Focus Punch and Toxic which is certainly a set. Unfortunately you can't use the tutor moves because that would involve collecting Shards so you're blocked off from putting Icy Wind on something or Swift on Porygon
Edit: a correction, since Up-Grade includes both an 'a' and an 'e' your Porygon would remain basic, despite the Dubious Disk actually working.
Just want to say that your writing style is terrific. I found your channel last week and legitimately cannot remember the last time I've laughed so hard. Love the videos, Seer, and looking forward to more! :D
Thank you! I am always floored by the kind words people give me, and yours are no exception. I'll work hard to keep being entertaining! 💪
love your vids man, keep it up
Loving these challenges 🤣
Aight bet. I hope you do more of these. Instant subscribe
Okay, I'm 8 minutes and 25 seconds in and this is the most hilarious, well-written Pokemon challenge video I've ever seen. Bravo, bravo!!
Alright who the hell let this man be so funny? And why have I not heard of him until now?
A new Seer video. It must be Christmas!
This was hilarious😂SUBBED!!
I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we don’t care about originality when it comes to your challenges. I love your content so I hope you don’t take it the wrong way.
This channel is chaos and a gift from the Old Ones.
Yur script is so good I’d love if u wrote a movie script!!! Very funny and entertaining. Plus, your determination to play games the hardest way just supersizes your script so it goes hand in hand!
This has got to be one of the unhinged videos that I've seen in my life, +1 sub
fun fact: you can do this in Sinnoh and Alola games without hacking in a different starter since Piplup and Popplio both start out with Pound as their first attack (alsyo you can evolve Piplup but only once)
This video spark joy
This may just be the most a main character's mother has ever seen her child over the course of a Pokemon game.
Another amazing video.
What the hell Seer. How could you POSSIBLY be on the same TH-cam rabbit hole of watching people play Pokémon Red as me? I’m watching you sir.
daam that was crazy, truly the Seer Style.
the league attempts feel much harsher when you notice the walks from home counter going up each time lol
War hammer: Chaos Bane is an arpg, would love to see it added to your finding the best arpg series :) love the content btw fkund you about a week ago
Humor on point as always
This is ridiculous. I love it.
Well, this definitely jumped out at me from my garbage feed, so congrats! lol
Godly video, hilarious.
I read this title as "...without A or B" like not hitting the A or B button
It is actually called a shop in the Japanese version so a case could be made for allowing it
Funny story, a web game called Kingdom of Loathing has this as an official challenge. It's called Bees hate you and you aren't allowed to use any items with the letter B. The mandatory quest item The Big Book of Pirate Insults is replaced with a Massive Manual of Maruader Mockery.
Best writing on TH-cam 🤙
Bro you have the energy of Jrose11, AVGN and Michael from Achievement Hunter all rolled into one and i cant even begin to explain how.
I like that you had a list of pokemon you could use and put nidorino on it but not nidoking, even though it also doesn't have an A or an E
you could also use poliwhirl and slowbro :)
This whole video is void when you realize jynx is an ice type
Was I the only one to realize this lol
"Why are you fighting a kid on the side of the road?" XD
This is like a solo Pokemon run on drugs and im here for it.
*25:00* Sure, it could be a *pad*, but you know what it could be instead? A *spot*, therefore this free healing spot is legal.
This reminds me of the Bees Hate You challenge from Kingdom of Loathing where you cannot use anything with the letter B in it.
I was immediately thinking of the moves like Surf, psychic, Dig, Fly etc and figured move shouldn't be an issue. But pokemon names really limit some choices.
this is so funny !
holy SHIT this is the greatest video EVER
That’s why older more experienced players generally do challenges like Nuzlockes and other restrictive challenges.
I've just noticed that I'm the og challenge runner for pokemon blue and no one will convince me of anything else. I got pokemon blue as a 5 or 6 year old, problem being I bought it in german and was only fluent in portuguese and french, so I spent the entire game without catching anything thinking I had to beat the game to learn how to catch stuff. By the time I railed the elite four, my blastoise's back was so hunched from carrying my -50 IQ ass that it looped and made the damned thing walk upright like an absolute chad. It wasn't until pokemon started being a huge thing that a mate from school brought his cartridge to brag that he was lvl 40 with 30 pokemon in his dex that I learnt to catch the damn monsters. When I showed him my completed game he probably had a momentary drop of the balls prior to his actual balls dropping. I proceeded to play the entirety of the elite four section just so he could see the ending. Fun times.
Seer back at it again, making a game nearly unplayable in the funniest way possible.
At lest you can use missingno
Man missed horn drill nidoking
LOL, wow I was right, I am actually unable to spell, good catch! Still wouldn't start with Nidoking though, it just seems too strong to begin with.
@@seer6251 Evolving would have made for good content and like progression if moon stones were called moon stons
Killer video love your content your challenge videos are always a good watch though
He also wouldn't have been able to use NidorAn to reach the Nidoking.
@@Smogwastaken set starter to nidorino?
Pinsir could have been a better choice but it falls flat when being so close to beating jynx
Learns more moves than jynx later on in the
Learns valuable moves like bide, bind, and submission
Plus it Learns cut which does more damage than pound
And finally it is the superior bug type as opposed to the icE type from jinx
However pinsir's Achilles heel is that he only gets vicE grip as a starting move and other than cut
Doesn't get any usable moves until bind
Pretty cool idea, that 1 in 256 miss though 😮
This video is like if Jrose11 and Scout TF2 had a baby
Im a simple man; I see Seer upload, I drop everything Im doing to watch it.
God damn you're profoundly funny. Few youtubers make me laugh like the writing in this video did.
8:34 I'm sorry you have to do what?
"Enter the Mart" is what I said, but in hindsight it'd be a good idea to not speak at 125 words per minute when recording a Yuter video.
@seer6251 was jokin no way you could beat the game without "talking"
17:08 Go outside, find the nearest patch of dirt, and see how deep you can dig with your bare hands.
This is the first time I have ever heard someone compliment Submission.
Babe, wake up, new Seer video dropped
Ackshually TM is short for "Technical Machine" so teaching psychic shouldn't be allowed 🤓
In all seriousness good run it was very enjoyable
So, is it too late to say that the HM for fly exists and you didn't have to go through victory road 19 extra times?
What about dugtrio? You can find one in Diglett cave
So upset with As and Es, Seer doesn't even breathe
