  • I like how you mentioned that Mewtwo's stats would make the game too easy when it had no way to attack outside of struggle.
  • @xtra3678
    what's really funny about this is that your use of mew as a physical attacker is actually very accurate to how people use new in RBY Ubers, since it's psychics are resisted by some of the biggest tier threats, and it doesn't learn amnesia, only swords dance, it makes the most sense to make it into a swords dance set up sweeper
  • 18:39 Fun fact: this is because the Aerodactyl Fossil MissingNo. don't have any stats associated with them, so they just copy the stats of the last Pokemon in the party (besides another MissingNo.), so in this case, it copied Zapdos's stats.
  • @AnemoneEnemy
    Not only does Bide hit ghost in gen 1, it also never misses. Same as nightshade hits normal pokemon
  • PSA: to use Missingno. early like he was attempting here and keep it from turning into a Rhydon, all you need to do is register Cubone in the Pokedex. This would require doing a separate ditto trick to encounter a Cubone as I think you can only get one normally using the silph scope in lavender tower.

    The alt forms of Missingno. (Kabutops Fossil, Aerodactyl Fossil and Ghost) all have a unique quality in that they actually have no base stats, starting moves or experience groups assigned to them and take those from the last Pokemon accessed in memory (other than another Special Missingno) which in this case was your Venusaur.
  • You should try this again, but only use actual glitch Pokemon. I'm talking the one that fuses Pokemon below it together to create unstable hybrids (and creates infinite copies of itself if you're not careful), the ones that can use Super Glitch, the ones that paint sections of the screen very scary colors. It would be awesome to see you struggle with their quirks while exploring their strengths.

    To those of you who are new to the Gengar glitch there is also a special way to make it lvl 100. What you do is a reducing stat move against either the encounter or the trainer battle (cannot remember exactly which one) and each time you do it it will lower the glitch Pokémon’s level by 1. Continue the glitch as normal and once you encounter the Gengar it will be lvl 1. Now in your first battle ensure that the Gengar doesn’t level up and it will automatically glitch out and will level up to lvl 100.
  • The missingno glitch actually has a secret hidden extra step. Missingno will always turn into Rhydon unless you have completed one of a few certain conditions, one of which is to register Cubone in the Pokedex... I don't know why Cubone of all pokemon, but it's a thing.
  • Sabrina was acting weird because she was so confused by your pokemon's paradoxical nature she had an aneurism.
  • @Netroshin
    Missingno turned into a Rhydon because it isn't located as "caught" and you will see the pokedex entry. The "caught-pokedex-entry" for Missingno is cubones "seen-pokedex-entry", thus if you saw cubone before, it will still be a Missingno due to the fact, that no Pokedex entry is shown. Missingno from the cinnabar island will not show the pokedex entry because you are forced to fight against a trainer with a cubone in rock tunnel.
  • @DjBrito95
    I pictured Mew transforming into a truck with hands, i'm in awe
  • @ShirakoriMio
    I like how this video could have been a 30 second long video where you just get a level 100 in viridian forest and say "that's it. It sweeps every enemy in the game. See you." Instead it's 26 minutes long and I enjoyed all of it hehehee.
  • 20:25 You didn't actually have to worry here, crit rate is determined by the species' base speed in gen1, not the effective speed, so it doesn't take into account DVs or stat modifiers. Also, as I saw mentioned elsewhere in the comments, agility is being used here because of the "good" AI sees that gengar is weak to psychic type moves, so it will always use agility and since trainers' pokemon don't have PP it'll never run out. Can be useful for setting up. Gotta love the gen1 jank.
  • a good thing about the first glitch where he gets the charmander is that it registers as a traded pokemon so it gets a bonus to exp
  • I mean according to the anime, Prof Oak had a Charizard so I guess this run is canonically accurate lol
