  • 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

      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.

    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.

    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! :)

    The 28th this year I will do a speedrun of Mario64 on a stream here on CZcams.
