I'll bet there's so many things about Pokemon Red that the numerous viewers are learning with this run.

Merged Special stats.
Gen 1 Wrap and Sleep mechanics.
Psychic Immunity to ghost.
Depositing your last Pokemon.
Pokedolls can skip the silph scope event flag.
Rage reducing accuracy to 1/256.
Gust was a normal move.
Night Shade and Sand Attack hit everything.
Enemy Pokemon don't have PP.

Gen 1 sure was an interesting time...

 

[HK-47]

It really sucks that chat-to-input program crashed on the Crystal stream and the streamer isn't around to fix it

Aww thats too bad.

I'm pretty sure everyone who played knows how stupid the merged special stat made the game. Fixing it was one of the many great contributions G/S brought to us.

There's a reason the thing below exists:

So we shall never forget the problems despite how much nostalgia we hold for these games.

 

[RedShift]

Is there any sort of plan right now?

Back to Rock Tunnel? Attempt the tower of It doesn't affect _______!? Go for Psychic TM?

Digrat is only 3 levels away from Digraticate.

You're forgetting the people who weren't born in that time.

I'm looking to have some roast pigeon for dinner

You'll regret those words as much as Flareon regretted defying the Helix.

Gen 1 Wrap and Sleep mechanics.

I had actually blocked this from my memory due to how fucking dumb it was.

This whole thing just keeps on giving. I love how he talks to the fossil.

Did the way pokemons get deposited change?

But yeah, Gen 1 was chaotic. That's why it's the more magical one since there are so many little details to discover.

 

[Mistel]

Also it can surf

=|

A skill that all bats are known for worldwide lol.

 

[SteveWinwood]

You're forgetting the people who weren't born in that time.

Or the people who played it and didn't even pay attention to numbers at all (me).

It also hurt the Drowsee line drastically as well.

[Vampirolol]

The fact that Moon Stone is never nominated and all this democracy/anarchy thing makes me feel like a old man yelling at clouds

 

[HK-47]

Someone should post some of the bizarre sprites of Red/Green.

 

[SolsticeZero]

This is really making me want to buy a newer Pokemon. Should I get X/Y or older Black/White, GAF?

 

[Kid Ska]

This should be required reading for everyone who says Red/Blue were the best and refuse to play the new games.

 

[Azuran]

lmao: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJl37Nrp86E

I lost it so bad when he threw the fossil.

 

[Talamius]

lmao: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJl37Nrp86E

100% accurate.

 

[qq more]

i never knew of the special split until people pointed it out to me

i never paid attention to stats because i just never cared and just play the game ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

(i even went with flareon in my blue and Y runs and beat the game just fine with no fucks given)

This should be required reading for everyone who says Red/Blue were the best and refuse to play the new games.

as someone who enjoys nearly every mainline title a lot, i always feel that its kind of off putting to tell people they're wrong and force different opinions onto them

[Not75Drops]

Lol so they'll have to go to the PC again because of Zubat. Let's see who goes next...

Spoiler

AAJST...

 

[cHinzo]

This is really making me want to buy a newer Pokemon. Should I get X/Y or older Black/White, GAF?

Definitely X/Y (#TeamY!). It's like a whole new experience if u haven't played a Pokémon game for a long time.

 

[Timeaisis]

So where are we at now? Last I left we got the Slip Scope (finally).

 

[Tecl0n]

music missing some notes?

 

[PhaZZe]

XY are excellent.

 

[RedShift]

Nearly renamed Bird Jesus there.

E: Dashbat renamed AAAAA

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

NO NOT ---

 

[Bullza2o]

lmao: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJl37Nrp86E

That was great!

 

[Timeaisis]

AAA Bat!

 

[kiguel182]

This should be required reading for everyone who says Red/Blue were the best and refuse to play the new games.

It's normal that the first version of the whole system ended up flawed.

The sequels kept refining and refining the formula, I don't think that the people that prefer the originals (like me) deny that.

Mechanics wise Red/Blue are the worst ones and lack most of the features the series has today.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

This should be required reading for everyone who says Red/Blue were the best and refuse to play the new games.

So their beliefs will be re-affirmed?

 

[Nyoro SF]

Blacl/White are the superior games, X/Y for the new hotness. Your call.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Dashbat is evolving!?

Dashbat evolved into Jesus bat!

 

[kubus]

Dashbat is now JESUS.

Okay.

 

[Regiruler]

The fact that Moon Stone is never nominated and all this democracy/anarchy thing makes me feel like a old man yelling at clouds

When it came back we tossed it immediately.
I was crying I was laughing so hard when it happened.

 

[Anuxinamoon]

JJSSSS- bat it is!

It's a keeper! xD

 

[Vampirolol]

This is really making me want to buy a newer Pokemon. Should I get X/Y or older Black/White, GAF?

Black 2/White 2 are more polished and overall feel like better games, but X/Y are designed to be more user friendly plus you get old starters (and the new starters are fantastic).

When it came back we tossed it immediately.
I was crying I was laughing so hard when it happened.

Yeah I was there laughing too... this game!

 

[TrickRoom]

Halp guys I don't know what to call Zubat anymore.

 

[Kid Ska]

as someone who enjoys nearly every mainline title a lot, i always feel that its kind of off putting to tell people they're wrong and force different opinions onto them

I'm not forcing any opinions on anybody, but a lot of the people who played gen 1 as a kid and sing their praises forgot about or didn't notice these things at the time.

 

[todd360]

Digrat is only 3 levels away from Digraticate.

Oh god the last thing we need is for digrat to have superior digging power.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

So did democracy or anarchy beat Giovanni?

 

[NoTacos]

Did we leave Giovanni's office before grabbing an item or something?
