Is Pokémon Yellow really better than Red/Blue?

Which sprite got the biggest update? Goof off together twitch.tv/ji_mothy Save my plasma www.patreon.com/ji_mothy%E2%80%A8 Thx for being here <3

In yellow you lose Electabuzz and Magmar, but gain all three starters, so you're ahead in mon quality.

Regarding the "mystery" trainer pokemon changes, they are supposed to mirror the anime. There's a guy with a Sandshrew right after Pewter City, modeled after AJ, an early character whose Sandshrew learned Fissure after 1000 victories (or was it 100). Similarly, the couple with Weepinbell and Cubone are students of a Pokemon Academy in one of the early episodes. Interestingly, that episode features actual game talk (move learn levels and such) as well as simulation computers mirroring the games' battle UI.

44:21 "hitmonlee could be dangerous as i dont have anyone resistant to fighting" 44:32 "then i send out spoon for his machamp since spoon resists fighting"

Thank you for this Christmas advice for 25 years in the past, when I finish this time machine, I'll be saving my parents so much money!

I believe that mystery sandshrew at 16:35 is referencing AJ from the early Gen 1 anime. It's a higher level than other things in the area and uses Fissure(!) which was used by his Sandshrew in that anime episode. He also references the 100 match win streak.

These two videos were a blast to watch because when you play them as a kid all those subtle designs like pushing you toward having an ice type for the endgame fly over your head. And how many people have actually gotten to experience a disobedient pokemon without going out of their way for it? I know it's asking a lot but now I'm dying to know how we're intended to play gold, silver, and crystal.

Ah, Yellow Version. The version my dad bought me after my mom drank the Satanic Panic Kool-Aid surrounding the franchise when it made landfall in the US. She made my best friend and I destroy our games, and my friend had to burn his cards and VHS tapes. I didn't have any cards, but I'll never forget watching that Holographic Charizard card burn on the driveway. To this day, if anyone brings up the incident, my buddy will fly into a raging rant about the whole thing and eventually lament the loss of that Charizard card. I don't blame him.

4:52 I always did the butterfree grind as a kid

Yes, because you get all 3 starters, the ability to get Chansey outside safari zone, you get both Pinsir and Scyther, a following interactive Pikachu, you get Oddish and Bellsprout, you get Pikachu's beach, and you get improved sprites and full color.

At 12:18 the Cubone and Weepingbell is an anime reference to the Pokemon Academy Ash and co visit. The Cubone battle is iconic as Ash manages to beat it with Pikachu by spinning its skull around and getting it hit by its own bonemerang. Similar situation with Misty beating the Weepingbell with I think Staryu. The whole point was to show type advantage doesn't matter always. It was a cute nod if you knew it.

Redwall. Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time... Long time.

Absolutely love this style of play-through you've developed. Keep them coming they are appreciated and enjoyed!

Sorry the algorithm has not been kind lately. Your videos are a good vibe and of great quality; I hope you get the breakthrough you deserve.

F**K YEAH! didn't expect another one so soon. thank you for sticking with the long video format <3 also please keep asking for a like on the video, i always forget that.

"Do you get Yellow?" I know this is a thesis question for the video, but if you were there during Pokemania, that wasn't even a question that existed.

This was great! The last video got me really nostalgic for the older pokemon games and I'm surprised you got this one out so soon after the last! Love your as intended series, and I can't wait to see more pokemon videos!

Keep them coming! Almost like a challenge run, where the challenge is to get in the devs heads. Love the content.

Hey YouTube, mothy did a good job this time. Also yellow is superior in every way due to the surfing pikachu minigame

One trick for fast friendship with the Pikachu, is trying to use a potion on it at full HP several times in a row. Then Pikachu will instantly love you.
