My friend's gaming channel who helped me with the planning: / @r2ricochet
Let's play Pokémon Generation 1 (Red/Blue) as the developers intended!
Playing through Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue versions--yellow is very different and deserves a separate video!
We look at the best starter pokemon, strategy for all gyms, type advantages that work best in the Pokémon Red/blue metagame, elite four, and do all the NPC trades.
Chappies:
0:00 gimmick and goals
2:53 Pallet and Viridian
6:15 Pewter the horse is here
9:43 Cerulean cuisine
13:44 Vermilion tide
22:28 Lavender? I hardly know her
23:37 Celadon Dione
36:40 Kinda saffron, it’s blurry
42:31 Fuchsia Ronan
48:24 Cinnabar Toast Crunch
56:03 Viridian 2
1:00:16 Elite Four - เกม
if the lavender tower escape rope isnt a mistake, it might be a really bleak joke
omg
that explains the lavender tower rickety stool
You’ve managed to make “sucking the fun out of a game by overoptimizing” fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
"...What Porygon's purpose is in life."
To be a scapeGogoat.
Algorithm, please acknowledge Mothy for his good job done. Gracious.
TH-cam. Jimothy did a good job.
Seconded
Jim, James, Jimothy?
We've already got Jimothy Cool, this lad will have to be Jimothy 2
"Hence, Bulbasaur is CLEARLY the best starter Pokemon."
My brother in Christ, you have just made an enemy out of every Pokemon speed-runner in existence. Fantastic video as always! I'd love to see more Pokemon content! ^_^
Wait I haven't watched the speedruns, lemme guess they do squirtle cause Bubble comes at level 8? Bulba waiting til 13 for vine whip is a bummer... and ty, will make more cause ppl seem to like it!!
@@ji_mothyTbh, by not catching a second male Nidoran early and turn Nidorino into a very early Nidoking via the Moonstone you kinda wasted (you didn't keep the Pokemon you used it on in your team) is actually what will make speedrunners cry.
If we talk about "playing how Gamefreak intended", they hand you an early male Nido and an early Moonstone and Nidoking with Earthquake, various moves for coverage and access to Horn Drill will just roflstomp the entire game. Since Nidoking got all that "intentionally", well, you know. But I 100% understand saying "we destroy everything with Nidoking, AGAIN" would make for an incredibly boring video.
There is a video "Why is Nidoking used in Pokemon Red and Yellow speedruns?", if you're interested in learning more about that whole strat.
@@ThorsShadowAs a kid I never used the Nidos as I didn't know how good they were, and most stone evolutions stopped learning new moves, and Moon Stones were rare which discouraged me even further. I didn't realise that STAB and team variety didn't really matter as a Nido plus Starmie can learn almost every move you'd need. It doesn't help that older games punish you a little if you try to build a full team, especially without some grinding.
Squirtle for a quick Brock split and then male Nidoran into Nidoking solo for the rest of the game
Yeah, but the average person isn't speedrunning. In a casual playthrough Bulbasaur is the best choice.
I did *not* know that Oak gives you balls if you don't catch Pokemon, and I'm amazed that there is still tidbits about these games that I still haven't heard of.
I consume an obscene amount of pokemon content. From challenge runs, to wifi battles, nuzlockes, to shiny hunting. I'm 3 minutes in and I know this is going to be fire. Excite
9:04 reminder for hard fights: leech seed exists
Full of twists and very informative. The hour I spent on this just flew by.
Always interested in these runs, like examining ludo-narrative and how the game mechanically sets you up in a "suggested path". As someone who has a lot of interests in information systems but also has ADD (so I have trouble noticing the systems, or following the "suggested path") its super cool to see your analysis and conclusion for these videos, keep it up!
Had to google that word but it's exactly what I'm fascinated by that prompted these videos and I'm so happy you feel the same! I think it's weird how this approach matters the most on games which have a high degree of player choice. More options can make it easier to find a "best" if you look.
As someone who was already in his late teens when pokemon first came out I ignored it until in my mid-30s. And now in my early 40s I have played almost every game. The presentation and story and one thing, but the game behind it was always very good.
I caught Blue and Silver as a kid then was "too cool" for a while, then didn't have the consoles for em til 2022; doing a lot of catch-up now. What's your favorite gen?
@@ji_mothy I think Gen 4 because I played through Pokemon Diamond exclusivly during train-rides to and from work. I also have a fond Spot for 8 because Shield was the first I actually completed.
@@DieSpielhoelle I love to hear you exploring the series in your 40’s. I played gens 1-3 as a kid/teen and I stopped playing after making it to the first gym in gen 4. I started back in the series again at 27, and I’ll be 36 this upcoming week, I’m hoping I don’t get tired of the series anytime soon
@@ji_mothyGen 4's remake of Gen 2. Having your Pokemon travel alongside you the whole way through whom you can interact with whenever was such a boon. Compound that with a second region, it was wonderful.
Gen 9 is another contender due to Koraidon, but I don't get to pick who I want as my traveling buddy/buddies.
I also started with gen 1 back in 98, although I was only 10 at the time so it was eight up my alley.
I put a million hours into gen 2, but got struck with the "too cool for pokemon" bug after that, didn't played a pokemon game for 17 years until SwSh came out. Now I play it competitively
I was waiting for all the music jokes mothy usually makes and then I noticed the segment title puns.
Celadon Dione? Fuchsia Ronan?? Cinnabar Toast Crunch??? Love it
I like the idea of the devs reacting to everyone keeping their starter to the end like: "Why would anyone do that? It's just supposed to get you started"
The anime encouraged us all to keep our starter, even if they were garbage.
@@dungeonpastor everything encouraged keeping our starter, from the less obvious good stats, good movepools, and multiple evolutions, to the really obvious, like Oak saying Pokemon are friends and to grow with them, and Gary keeping his starter all the way
I really did not expect one of my favourite childhood games to come up on your channel. I am so happy about this!
Enjoy! Mine too. A friend lent me his gameboy pocket & Blue when he got a Color & Yellow and I rushed through in a week
10:24 my headcanon is that the water gun is in fact spraying out wormwood liqueur
The fact the algorithm still hasn't picked your channel up for mass suggestion is absolutely wild to me. Dear Jimothy, you da man. Keep it up. :)
This concept transferred so well from the Fromsoft stuff! I binged all your videos on those and was glad to find out you're continuing the format. Honestly, I could see those kinds of analyses helping with game design one day... Fingers crossed you make it big, yippee!!!
How neat! I didn't consider ice so much but it's cool to see how they might have meant for people to play through the game. I'm quickly getting addicted to these videos and only wish there were more! But that's what subscribing is for. (:
Well this isn’t the TH-cam Jimothy I usually watch Pokémon content on but it’s a pleasant surprise
I thought it was a jimothy cool alt channel when I clicked it haha. Good video tho
This was brilliant. The parasect strategy in particular astounded me.
I'm so happy to see you continue this type of analysis to other video games! While it's still hard to apply it to blind playthrough, it does make me appreciate the various developers decisions in their video games. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic video!!! Would love to see a sequel.
That was a great watch, I enjoyed this.
I like the way you laid out this video, great job as always Mothy!
Another awesome video, Mothy! I will watch any one of these “As the Developer Intended” videos whether I’ve played the game or not; they’re just so entertaining and well put-together. Keep up the great work!!!
TH-cam pls, mothy is a good boy and deserves headpats.
Definitely interested in a "Yellow as Intended" video. Great work on this one!
Same.
This was awesome! Love your vids!
Your videos are excellent! I always feel compelled to play my games this way and you do such a good job with humorous explanation.
A new ji_mothy video?!!?!?! About my FAVORITE THING? Yeeeessss something interesting to grind OSRS mining to
Amazing video! I love how you look at video games
hour long ji_mothy video? easy click
Never watched one of your vids before but this was really solid man!
Thoroughly enjoyed it :)
Loved the video Jimothy! Been following your "as intended" since the Dark Souls videos. This one took me back 23 years I'm not even kidding. I remember doing my Pokemon playthroughs on my Gameboy color and trying to think of ways to overcome the walls that my starter of choice would face!
This was super cool! Although TBH I think you're intended to keep your starter around til the end. ;) Great reasoning and final team comp!
okay. yeah the "sub missin" bit was clever and good and got me. im subbed now.
There is ALWAYS a need for more videos of this exact content type.
Amazing work , congratulations!
Hey, TH-cam, be nice to this guy. He's all right.
I've tried something along this line of thinking with most pokemon semi-casually. i enjoy actually playing through these grind-heavy rpgs efficiently like this, almost solving it like a puzzle game! some of the challenge-heavy romhacks of pokemon games near necessitates this playstyle. it's lead to some pokemon to become my absolute goats, like jumpluff!
thank you for covering this so thoroughly. your videos are so fun to watch, with references to stuff like letterkenny as a delightful surprise.
Well done and thank you for making this vid
Your pacing and breakdown of approach is entertaining and engaging! Great video
Ty for liking the pacing! I put a lot of thought into breaking up the "lecturey" bits with exciting gameplay, and even tried to build a team where I wasn't catching 3 things at once to keep the plot steady!
Love your work man!
Thanks for another fun video. 1hr + vids make me happy~
Please play more Pokémon! Idk why I waited so long to watch this! 10/10 video, mothy ❤
Love the branching out. Another banger brother
Got recommended ur postgame kanto tierlist (which in itself was very funny and entertaining as a genuine look at it) and holyyy cow this was one of the most interesting playthroughs that wasn’t a straight up challenge run I’ve watched. So many team members, engaging with all the mechanics- it’s glorious. Will definitely be watching your other Pokémon vids and might try to take a peak at a few of the other games you cover too. (Although im unfamiliar with basically all of them) Sub well earned!
Would love to see a Gold & Silver/ Heart Gold and Soul Silver as intended video!
Get ready for 70 minutes of Forretress
I don’t always like videos unless it’s really well put together and this really ticks all the boxes… engaging humor and creative story telling on an old game… your passion is clear and you delivered.
Earned my sub, can’t wait to binge your old content!
Tysm that's a huge compliment. G/S in progress :)
another ji_mothy classic
big fan of how this series is both really fun to watch for games you're familiar with (since you get to see it from a completionist/as intended perspective and can understand the run) and for games you have no clue about (as you get a bunch of info about the game and how it works)
I've never played a pokemon game in my life, but i found this video excellent hehe
Cmon you gotta try one just to get the references!
Loved the vid!
Praise be to the mighty algorithm.
Amazing video! I love this series!
Damn this is absolutely not there next game I expected in this series, but... This is great.
You did a great job and TH-cam better notice!!
"jimothy for long" is still one of your funniest lines.
Anyway, back for another watch because this video makes me happy. Thanks, mothy.
Awesome vid~
9:20
Disable in Gen 1 actually selects a random move to disable, so Leer getting Disabled was actually pure chance. Great video! Loved it and greatly appreciate the effort you put into this.
Edit: at 43:15 or so you mention using sturdy Normal Types to wall Psychic Types, such as Snorlax or Kanghaskhan. Kanghaskhan actually has very poor Special in Gen 1, so while it certainly can take Special hits due to its pretty good HP, it certainly isn't gonna tank them. Lickitung is very similar in that regard. Chansey, Wigglytuff, Snorlax and Clefable all have very high HP stats with good enough (or in Chansey's case just actually really good) Special that allows them to tank Special moves very well.
I can’t remember off the top of my head but I do think there is the extra potion on the tree in the first city on the cuttable tree beside the man who won’t let you pass before you deliver parcel to Oak. Absolutely awesome I’ve found another YTer on the grind! Keep up the great work man!
Great video!!
loved the vid man, thank you for all the effort you put into these 🫶
I'd love to see you do the same videos for at least through the early editions with the most meta changes. Great vid!
Please, show this video to the poke fans who need to see it! Let’s go internet magic!
This video has inspired me to introduce my cooking TH-cam channel as Bish, Babish for long.
Liked the idea and execution of this video,
Becoming a series, cool.
The PC saying "What?" around 42:42 is such a mood, considering the back-to-back blasphemous statements uttered previously lol
Great stuff😁 love u
Keep up the great content
Bro you cooked a five course meal, I'll eagerly await for every next notification coming from your channel
I love hour+ long pokemon game vids to fall asleep to. I would love more
The Lavender Town Escape Rope might have been intended for a hypothetical first visit if you went all the way to the top without the Silph Scope instead of leaving upon being unable to fight whatever the first wild encounter was.
Loved the vid as always Mothy. The team is wild. Never would have expected almost any of the picks. One side note, i believe at some point in the video you claim nidoqueen, a ground type, resists fire. While it's possible I don't have gen 1 type chart quite remembered, I'm pretty sure fire is neutral against ground. That said, really loved all the info provided, especially all the trades, as I largely had no clue how to take care of most of them, especially Lola
I'm not even a Pokemon fan, but I was captivated for a good seventy minutes, another banger Mr. Mothy.
It has never made sense to me in this game at the lavender tower how none of the wild ghost Pokémon are visible, but you can see and battle all the trainer ghost types
Giving you the love Jimothy, my favourite TH-camr by far and im always excited for what’s next! Pokemon was a great idea, my favourite is the Diamond/Pearl era so if I ever see that ill be a happy boy 😁❤️ keep it up mate
Ty Joe! I only recently got to play those on the new switch versions, I have a lot to learn but I'll try!
I love this video series.
Great video. After playing the games as an adult and then going on to play numerous romhacks of gen 1 running from low impact ones that include all mons to high impact ones that have a lot of homebrew and tinkering, I've come to understand the gameplay of gen 1 as more dragonquest than pokemon, if you feel me. Pokemon bills itself as a game about traveling, catching pokemon, and building a team, but it's so clear that the games are actually linear hero adventure stories. You're meant to catch, use, and bench your Pokemon as you progress, and adapt to a variety of unique challenges related to type interactions.
Players often don't acknowledge it, but there are definitely boss pokemon and boss types explicitly put into the game to challenge you. Ghost, dragon, and psychic. Gengar, Dragonite, Alakazam. The devs knew that Alakazam was busted, which is why he is behind a trade, and given a first stage that literally does nothing. Gengar is poison because he's just too powerful as a pure ghost. And the dragon type is pretty self explanatory, they learn all the good moves, get dragon rage, and resist a lot of common stuff.
It'd be interesting to see you do this for the other games, good vid
Idk if he's into horror games but the Resident evil games would work well on this 'as intended' style
I was introduced to your channel by your Pokemon videos and I gotta say, I love your style of gameplay! I also love that you included chapters in the video (with funny names to boot) so I can refer back as I try out the team for myself. I saw you have a Stardew video as well, so my mom is gonna love that one.
Welcome! And thanks for noticing the chapters, didn't know if those were helpful but I'll keep it up
I’ve always thought about games in terms of their design and intended style of play. Amazing that mothy read my mind.
I had no idea Professor Oak gave you 5 pokeballs if you go back to him with just your Starter after defeating Blue the second time.
Axuly loving this
Really interesting concept
This was fun! :D
Less than 4 minutes in and "His charmander is brutalising my taco" is certainly a sentence.
“His charmander is brutalising my taco” is a sentence that doesn’t feel like it should be on TH-cam…..
Also is Unovan lift bra a regional wonder bra?
I think it was meant to be a "Do you even lift bro?" Joke as in some places "bra" is used like "bro".
I love it
Great job
Good job! I love Gen 1
I think the escape rope next to the ghost pretty heavily implies a skip was not intended
What i loved about gen 1 is how many options you had to advance the game after you beat misty
Oh wow! I thought I was the only one who used the Gen1 Parasect strategy. That’s my argument every time I see someone crap on Parasect for its weaknesses. Like, sure, it doesn’t matter after this singular Gen. But it’s great here, damnit!
He put work into this youtube
Great vid. There's a lot of these older RPGs that I think would be great for this series, due to the lack of clear and obvious hand holding. It often just means that the intended method is there, but hard to see without hindsight
14:27 isn't there a lady on the ship that can heal you? Oh well, great vid ji_mothy!
Is there?? I thought so but then couldn't find her and I felt crazy and convinced myself that was in yellow or gen 2
@ji_mothy just looked up the gamefaqs guide and you were correct, she is not there in original red and blue.
So excellent. The algorithim would be wise to acknowledge you for the best TH-camr you are.
🫡 trying!
Liked, commented, subscribed. Good job guy!!!
great stuff! hearing Raines made me do a double take lol glad my-twin helped out! good names all around lol
Raines was OP! But Rival gets a Raines in yellow 🤫
This series soothes the inner obsessive. I love them, even for games I haven't played.
44:05
Beedril bein a straight masochist 😳
17:20 for Dugtrio you can use the repel trick to only encounter Dugtrios since it'll almost always be higher level than your team
commenting for the algorithm.
I also greatly enjoyed the video, brought back some childhood memories of pokemon on my GBC
