HOW EASILY CAN YOU BEAT POKEMON RED/BLUE IN REVERSE?

- The Pokemon series has a very simple concept: roam throughout the region and collect the badges to become the best of the best. In every game, there is a set order that Game Freak wants you to collect the badges, but what if I told you that you could do it in backwards? Today we're going to find out how easily you can beat Pokemon Red and Blue in reverse! This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

You are just minding your own business at work, suddenly a 10 year old with a MewTwo appears beside you out of thin air, challenges you to a Pokemon battle and wipes the floor with your team, only to then walk through the wall and disappear without saying a word.
That is what these gym leaders experienced
“Where are all your badges?”
“Mewtwo I choose you”
@@ryanobrien396 Koga: "Uh what the heck kid, what just happened?"
John: "UsE pSyStRiKe!"
*AHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Considering the shit Sabrina has in her gym, they probably thought it was normal Psychic nonsense.
@@alexanderticonuwu7591 That's what I thought. Hardly outside of Mewtwo's capabilities.
He does all that while rustling through his non-euclidean bag, makes the environment change colors, and suddenly the exit from your office leads to a real estate agent's office in Sri Lanka.
Oak: “This is my grandson. Er... what was his name again?”
*John: “RRRG-“*
Oak: Ah, that's right!
"Ah, right, his name is RRRG--"
"No, Grandpa, my names Gary. And I think this guy is having a seizure"
"Shush, RRRG--, don't interrupt me"
Oak: “this is my grandson. Er... what was his name again?”
John: “RRRG- - -
honestly sounds like a new rating by the ESRB....
So that's what Gary eh um cough cough RRRG-- been doing. while waiting for Red. :P
Oh, that's right! His name was *has a stroke*
Jesus christ gen one is a game held together with glue and paper clips lmao
Welcome to old school gaming...we've come a ways since then xD
It acually was, they said the coding was messy and a 14 year old white girl is way more stable than the game
@@coreflakes That's how low level stuff works, on current systems if you tried to do stuff like this OS would most likley crash the game due to memory violation
@@coreflakes the issue with gen 1 is that its an insane amount of content crammed into not much space. the coding is actually ingenious -- nowadays you dont need to pay attention to every single bit so ypu can fit everything in. and in regular gameplay you wouldnt come across those glitches (looking at you here, bethesda, you have no fucking excuse) -- these come from deliberately testing the limits of the game. and it still runs stably instead of crashing. gen 1 games are a marvel of coding work, rather than a mess. the speedrunners just made a mess out of them and they *still work*
And it’s beautiful
"an average Pokemon fan such as myself"
Your definition of "average" is pretty different from mine, Mr. Catch-Em-All-in-24hrs.
You fool, he has transcended humanity itself. His average is beyond human understanding
According to John here is the list of Pokemon fans.
Speed runners- complete as fast as possible
Glitch runners- find the glitches and break the games
Shiny hunters-hunt the rarest Pokemon in the game
Compleationist- complete the games as much as possible
Average fan- do a ton of crazy runs including catching all the Pokemon in 24 hours, oak challenge ect -John appearantly falls here
Noon - plays and maybe beats the game. Catching about 20 different Pokemon
Genwunner- thinks gen 1 is the best with no competition.
I fall somewhere in average to shiny hunter as I do crazy challenges and I shiny hunt. Thought I could rank higher lol.
@@ZammyBirdProductions also the competitive players
@@user-pp6pr5fg8w ahh yes I missed that group my bad. I'd throw that between shiny hunters and glitch runners
@@ZammyBirdProductions excellent
16:04 Imagine just standing in a room for hours waiting for a trainer to use your teleport puzzle and then he just fucking phases through the wall and sends out Mewtwo.
This Rewind is much better than the recent CZcams rewinds
Ooh burn but true
@Riley Kent lmao
@Riley Kent Why would we? Awful youtuber
Agreed
Justgiveit EarthPower That’s really rude
Try doing either red or blue but catching every pokemon in the order of the pokerap
Man I wanna see that now.
You’re a madman 🤣
Some speedrunners did this in a randomizer race 😁. Chrism360 for videos
Challenge Accepted.
Try doing either red or blue but catching every pokemon in the order of the pokerap
Ahh yes, writing code in the game by simply playing it. "Simpler" times.
I’m your first sub
That is simpler, now you have to hack games to insert your own code.
To quote a wise man:
Generation 1 is held together by duct tape and prayers.
More like Scotch tape and a dream
It’s held together by the fans; the game itself has been completely torn apart at this point.
That or torn apart by Tauros.
Strings and wishes
@@pluto3194 scotch tape and broken dreams
It's really not though. In normal play you would never notice anything being broken
"10yo breaks time and space just to not talk with anybody"
Merrio you just described every introvert
@16:30 Koga: "The walls of my Gym are invisible!"
John: "Then you won't mind me walking through them like they aren't even there."
“This method is called Jacking”
This is pretty interesting but I don’t think I could *pull this off*
"PP Strats"
You get the milk, I'll get the cups.
I agree, it's a bust.
It's really nuts
@@azelfdaboi5265 It honestly seems way too hard to do.
Me: pulls out 3ds
John: this isn’t possible on virtual console.
Me: damn
William Cree same here lol
Me: pulls out 3ds
John: this isn’t possible on virtual console.
Me: damn
I’m pretty sure the version of the run in this video is possible. Only the newer ones aren’t because the differences in emulation mess with the RNG.
William Cree I’m able to play the original on a Gameboy Horror
@Anias Thompson Your misuse of the colon symbol pains me greatly
the title gave me the idea that a mod could be made where you reverse the process of the game. Your starter is level 100 instead of 5 and loses exp with every battle
The Benjamin Button Run
Did y’all notice that in the “hall of fame” oak said welcome to the hall of fame, trainers are honered for their exploits here!
I noticed that instantly.
This was a very exploit-filled run.
Alright, you get points for creativity
Hello
Love your vids mr. Bread
Hey my brother what crazy challenge are you up to at the moment? xD
Bruh, me and my gf love your Pokemon challenge videos.
Which Fossil did you take?
in which john brocks through various walls, conjures the world's most powerful creature using office supplies, sends a mob boss to the shadow realm, and uses wormholes to curbstomp gym owners
Just an ordinary day for Gen 1.

Yeah to find a rpg completely broken like this is a treasure.

At this point we’re gonna get a video about beating Pokemon R/S/E with your feet while eating Kids Cuisine upside down

That's absolutely ridiculous.
The Kid's Cuisine would fall all over the floor.
@@StarkMaximum If you eat it fast enough it won't

18:10 “Pokemon league champions are honored for their exploits here”
Ha! Good catch.
16:12 Swift is actually unaffected from the 1/256 miss in non-Japanese games, as it automatically skips all accuracy checks
Blep Bloop
True, but that’s because Swift isn’t a 100% accuracy move, something like Psychic would be. The whole reason behind a move having 100% base accuracy is for it to be affected by accuracy drops and evasion boosts because the game (is supposed to be) using these values to calculate whether or not the move hits. Swift actually has no base accuracy stat because of it bypassing the accuracy/evasion checks. There’s no actual percentage to do calculations with, even though it’s factually 100% accurate. No idea why he said that when playing footage of him using Swift though.
@@rainpooper7088 Yeah I think he knows that. But swift was onscreen and that is the only move in the game that legitimately cant miss thanks to the 1/256 glitch
15:36
Game: Do you have your second gym badge?
John: *insert pirate meme* Well yes but actually no
How do people come up with this stuff
trainerfly and old man glitches led to the infamous missingno glitch, which led to the item underflow mentioned in the video, and from there people were able to mess with any item and any memory value directly in the game. with lists of what every value does thanks to romhackers and the disassembly, people can make the game behave however they want.
Just playing around and experimenting.
Looking into the code for flaws
@@infinitethunder6184 in gen 1 it's more like looking in the flaws for code
The source code for the game is available online. Just read it and you will start to see why its glitchy.
Everyone:mess with code and alter space and time
Me: W H E R E I S M O L T R E S

this is a joke don’t whoosh me beta cucks
With all the talk of "PP" and "Jacking" its a wonder this video wasn't demonotized
I like your username
So long
I always found it so interesting how many glitches the first generation of games had. It was cool to see you play this challenge. I used to use the Mew Glitch on every trainer that I could with my Yellow game

John: Who's the psychic now?
Sabrina: What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody gangster until Johnstone becomes a timelord
He isn't already?
You are insane John, this hurt my head

You should do a professor oak challenge but with the achievements in black 2 and white 2
This is soooo good!!!
Aren't some of them impossible due to DS WiFi shutting down?
@@JR384 there is a primary dns code you can put into your settings that allows it to work. It is 164.132.044.106. If you need any more elaboration on thep topic look it up on youtube. It also allows you to get a bunch of wifi mystery gifts

How was anybody able to figure this out? My brain hurts 😂
Coding
This sounds exciting. Thanks for the content
Your upload schedule ties in so well with my social life, because i get fucked up drunk and then go home and watch your videos while trying to go to sleep. i love it
I wass tthinking about a video like this last week, you're a genius
Fantastically done! And very very well explained. So fascinating watching people manipulate this game, thanks for the vid! The hard work and polish shows (:
I love how much effort you put into your videos and it shows!
Beating it in reverse, I feel like you should start with the hall of fame
That's actually possible , in yellow at least
Wouldn't that just be any%?
Dude, I love your videos and give me the motivation to try out the challenges myself. Keep it up!
Omg I’m early! This looks like a super interesting challenge I’m excited to see how it goes down
matt what does this have to do with my comment?
matt ...
Really cool video! Love as well that you I cluded a lot of the technical details.
Hey John, I’ve watched like every vid of yours at least twice, you have a gift my man, keep it going!
Kind of glad that this video isn’t gen 8, because I’ve been avoiding Pokémon sword and shield videos until I could play it for myself. Glad to be able to see another video from you that I can watch :)
Me too
Aw man you guys gotta play it!
How ?
If you want any vague spoilers I'll answer questions if you want
Lol same
Swift doesn’t have a 1/256 chance to miss. It can’t miss ever, which is neat.
This is hands down the best Pokemon video I’ve ever seen
14:23 You’re not invisible, ur just randomly hanging out with your twin at the gym roof
You mention the 1 in 256 miss chance as something to watch out for in Sabrina's gym, but Swift bypasses the accuracy check entirely in English copies of RBY, meaning it's not subject to the mechanic.
Swift was just a 100% accuracy move in gen one, meaning it is subject to the 1/256.
@@leoxesyude2021 Pretty sure it's the only 100% non missing move. At least from what i heard in other challenges. (in gen 1)
@@leoxesyude2021 only in the Japanese release. In English it was changed to bypass accuracy checks, just like the Master Ball. Funny that both are subject to rumors claiming they're both susceptible to the 1/256 miss chance.
You amaze me every single time you do 1 of these pokemon challenge videos ^-^
This needs to be a season on the show. It's 90% Misty going "wait, what's-. . . where are- . . . what is going on?!"

gen 1 glitch: >small window of time where you can make extra button inputs
gen 8 glitch: >small window of time where you can make extra button inputs
Some things never change 😂
Unfortunately, the difference is that gen 1 was glitchy af bc they crammed as much code as possible into the game card to maximize the tiny space - gen 8 was just rushed for holidays :/
@@Coyoteari Sad but true. Gen 8 could've been much better, in terms of looks and gameplay. But the holidays were close.

Love the vids. Do one where you do every in-game trades
Fuck Mindy
I discovered this on speedrun.com just yesterday and this comes up today. Wild
Just finished this run myself after watching your video. I used your guide for the most part, but hit a couple of snags at certain points and had to use some tricks from other runs.
Biggest hiccup was attempting to warp to Giovanni from catching mewtwo, and I wound up using an escape rope and jacking into viridian gym instead. After that i fear my bag became irreversibly ruined, and I wound up warping using pokemarts to warp directly to each city and jack into any gyms that required it.
All in all, a fun run, but my strats after splitting from the guide were definitely NOT optimal.
Thanks for the great video, and the great time I had trying to replicate these tricks! :)
Oh wow, impressive John! 1st try a speedrun category! :o
I really enjoyed this video and I am amazed at these glitches!
Played pokemon for years and tried a lot of these, but the underflow glitch and some skips were unkown terrain, untill this video.
Also, if you like speedruns (beware: selfpromo):
The 28th this year I will do a speedrun of Mario64 on a stream here on CZcams.
It is not officially a categorie, but it might be after my run.
Started as a challenge and I improved a lot in the last half year, almost doubleing the content.
Again, Gen 1 surprises me when I didn't think it was possible!
Nice one, that's not a bad time at all for a first go with no underflow practice. If you wanna try another pretty cool one that won't take too much trouble try the softlock run, it doesn't have any cool tricks to it but it is interesting to see what happens when you mess with things the developers just didn't think of.
Your content puts me to sleep......
In a good way, your voice is super calming
I kind of love that the code for this game is so stacked upon itself that stuff like this is even possible
Awesome
By reverse i was expecting the champion, then elite 4 in reverse order, then followed by the gym badges in reverse order.
A better name for this challenge would be how easily can you glitch Pokemon Red/Blue. :D
Love you work - keep going
So those games really were made of actual spaghetti code, huh.
While I did really enjoy this video and the title was really interesting and got me hooked, I really hope this channel won't become glitch oriented one.
johnstone: you can reverse engineer pokemon red and blue using its own code to break the linearity of its story and complete the game in under half an hour
my two brain cells: ha ha peepee strats
Surprised Werster didn’t have the WR
Yeah but Werster does glitchless.
