PASTICHE OF CINEMASINS' " #EverythingWrongWith " SERIES.
#Pokémon Red is a game incredibly close to my heart. It's the very first game I ever have a memory of receiving, and have memories of the countless hours I spent playing it, restarting with new teams each time. Kanto is a region I know almost like the back of my hand, and #GameFreak has given me years of not just joy with virtual companions, but so much creative inspiration in the way of game design, as well as art style.
That being said, despite the first generation of Pokémon being a technical marvel to be able to run on Nintendo's flagship handheld, its coding is held together by staples and duct tape. Most of the enjoyment I get from replaying the game nowadays is by absolutely destroying it by abusing its easy-to-perform glitches.

"you're not even the most powerful trainer in this room" that was the most badass line I've ever heard
It’s still the best roast in Pokémon history
Yeah. It certainly would've been awkward if he somehow lost that fight, but yeah.
420th like
Of course, people aren't strong. It's the creatures that they enslaved that are.
The Elite Four's weird choices always confused me, too... until a few months ago, when I read the reason for it. Apparently, the gimmick for the Gen 1 Elite Four - at least originally - was that they don't specialize in just one type like the Gym Leaders do. Instead, they specialize in *2.*
Lorelei is a Water/Ice trainer, which is why she has a Slowbro.
Bruno is a Fighting/Rock trainer, hence the 2 Onix.
Agatha, as you posited, is indeed a Ghost/Poison trainer, which is why Golbat and Arbok are on her team.
Lastly, Lance is a Dragon/Flying trainer. That's why he has a Gyarados and an Aerodactyl.
To a lesser extent, the secondary types were chosen to specifically complement the primary ones. Agatha has a spooky bat and a big snake with a scary monster face that can literally Paralyze its opponents with fear to support her Ghosts, and Lance has a Chinese dragon and a prehistoric wyvern in addition to his Dragon types. Aesthetically, they make sense.
Damn why didn't they keep this for later generations
@@pokuhmoo9415 I guess they deemed it too complex, or maybe the guy that came up with the idea only worked on the first games. This is something they axed before the game launched, like how they decided against making Bird a type and replaced it with Flying. Plus, by Gen 2, there were probably enough Pokemon that they didn't need to fill the gaps in certain types anymore.
I mean, it didn't stop them from giving Morty all 3 of the Gastly line and not a single Misdreavus, or from giving Karen a Gengar and a Vileplume instead of a Sneasel and a Tyranitar, but nobody's perfect.
I used to think they specialized in the type with less pokémon in their generation.
Ok but in practice Agatha is just a poison master.
@@vulpixheat2177 Then explain why in the remake rematches she has Misdreavus (FRLG) and Alolan Marowak (Let's Go) and why Golbat didn't even have a poison move...
8:01 I remember one Trainer Tips sign from a certain game saying that the process of stopping a Pokémon's Evolution is suddenly startling them while they're in the middle of it.
It kinda implies that in order to evolve, a Pokémon has to concentrate and that breaking their focus stops it.
I know anime =/= games, but interestingly the anime does the reverse; evolution is automatic and it takes concentrated effort from the Pokemon to stop it.
@@treehugger0241 it's even more different in pokemon adventures. According to a conversation between Yellow and Blue, Blue says that there's a button on the pokedex that sends an electromagnetic wave that cancels evolution. Which just leads to the question of why the heck is there nothing in common between all the timelines
@@airwalker0676 I'm convinced the reason they introduced the concept of alternate worlds in Gen 7 was to handwave why no two series seem to agree on anything.
That was introduced in gen6 ORAS.
@@lordmonarch2995 ORAS touched upon it but SM/USUM firmly established that it's a thing.
I love how Charriii put "Spoilers" for a game that is OVER TWENTY YEARS OLD
"Im not supposed to be able to do this" is a perfect representation of quite a bit of Gen 1
@@calebproductions1264 If not because it's old, atleast because it's freakin Pokémon. Gen 1 is old enough to freakin drink!
have a great day my friends
Jesus loves you all
@@joshua2400 usually I hate people bringing religion into unrelated videos but this is kinda wholesome
@@eeviee7 Probably because he didn't put an entire passage from the bible in his comment.
Woah. Perfect timing. As I read the last paragraph ("I'm not supposed to be able to do this"), I heard him say it-
You know what's funny about that Weedle not breaking out?
In Yellow, the first time you see the tutorial, it in fact does.
So in other words, it's a waste of time and nothing more.
...then again that single change did move the location of missingno and the professor oak battle to lavender town...
So a bizarre solution that almost worked
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32It's that Butterfly Effect at work. Or in this case the Beedrill Effect.
I love how he incorporated the ad into the pokemon universe. I don't know why Bill needing to switch his location to Unova so he could watch Pokemon Season 1, something that took place in Kanto, tickles me so much.
You also forgot that the special stats were just one stat in gen 1 making it so all psychic types have huge special attack stats and special defence stats, critical hits were based on speed making it so pokémon like jolteon and electrode get high crit rates, focus energy lowered your crit chance instead of raising it, hyper beam having it's recharge being nullified if it knocks out the opponent, and freeze being instakill if your opponent doesn't hit you with a fire move. Sorry if this went on for so long but gen 1 battle mechanics are so bad compared to modern day mechanics
He also missed 1/256 and perfect x accuracy
I remember using all those to my advantage lol
Ok
Hyperbeam “recharging” on kill would be an interesting mechanic for a new move
You trade off some damage for the potential to wipe an entire team
@@katashiakia6763 nice pfp
I love how he makes clear that he doesn't mean to be serious with his sins... yet proceeds to actually make valid criticism of the games anyway XD.
It makes sense. He’s pointing out things that he assumed others would say. And he could be playing devils advocate….. it’s just in fun. Not too argue about and get upset about…..
I love the “I wasn’t suppose to do that” bits as you preform every glitch you could in Gen 1, this is great. I hope you eventually get to the other gens, specifically gen 3, because the fact that Wally has a chance of getting a shiny Ralts is a sin on its own!
Edit: Grammar error oof
If that happens and the damage Noman's Zigzagoon does to it rolls a critical during the Everything Wrong with Gen 3, that's going to be so heartbreaking. Instant +8,472 sins. The odds of finding a gen 3 shiny are 1 in 8,192 and Ralts' National dex number is 280.
I think that’s cool that he can get the Shiny Ralts and have a shiny Gardivor in gen3, can he do that in ORAS and get a shiny Gallade? Also he didn’t do all the gen1 glitches he missed one. The prof Oak battle glitch.
@@lordmonarch2995 Uh, no. In RSE, if he catches a Shiny Ralts, it's coded to be regular Ralts. In ORAS, Wally's Ralts (before he actually catches it) and Norman's Zigzagoon, are both Shiny locked. Same with the Poochyena in ORAS that you fight, it was also Shiny locked.
@@lordmonarch2995 Well you can’t really get to it in game with in game stuff like missing no and stuff, you actually have to hack it in. At least that’s to my knowledge
"Most of the ice type moves in this gen are special?"
Nope. ALL of them are. This is before the special/physical split of gen 4, so all fire, water, grass, psychic, ice and electric moves are special. (and dragon, but dragon rage is the only dragon move, so that's moot.)
And all normal, fighting, poison, ground, flying, bug, rock and ghost are physical. (yes. all ghost and poison moves are physical, further making the gastly line more pointless.)
Gen 1 was a trip.
This was the way things were until Gen 3 as well, so yeah, types were THIS unbalanced for THREE generations!
@@owennelson5814 Sure, but at least by gen 3, there were more ghost and dragon types, as well as moves that would take their stat into consideration.
When Dark and Steel were introduced, they were Special and Physical, respectively, as well.
Had the Fairy Type been introduced prior to Gen IV, I'm fairly certain it would've been Special, just to make both sides have the same number of Types each. Well, that, and most Fairy-Type moves are Special, anyway.
@@sonicstar917 Also, so far, every eevee has been the special types. So fairy would fit in there too. XD
Well, except for the status moves, but yeah.
Charriii5: Casually gets a lv 100 MEW, MEWTWO, and MISSINGNO
Me: **HOLY SHIT WTF HAPPENED**
For the "why does Mew come after Mewtwo" question, remember that the only evidence of Mew they had were some ruins and a fossilized eyelash. They used the eyelash to create Mewtwo, but they still technically hadn't discovered Mew at the time of Mewtwo's creation, they were just aware of its existence
Damn, if all it takes is a single eyelash from Mew to create a clone that rivals him in power, imagine how powerful Mewtwo would be if they had the entire body of Mee
@@iam4026 And imagine how powerful Mewthree would be if it wasn't locked to the manga.
Okay but I guess the sin would now be, again, why was it written "Mew gave birth"? As if they actually had captured Mew?
29:05 Honestly, I really can't think of anything that Dragon could be strong against. It's either just super effective against others cause "only Dragons can beat other Dragons" or make it strong against everything for the soul factor of "Dragon strong" which is obviously highly unbalanced but considering Psychic, balance was not the main priority.
Would probably be too strong if it was super effective against all of its resistances.
maybe dragon was designed like a stronger normal type. normal is notable for how little it interacts with other types. offensively weak against rock and steel, and ineffective against ghost. defensively weak against fighting, and immune to ghost, and neutral against everything else
Maybe Bug?
Dragons are weak to Ice literally because reptiles don't like the cold.
Reptiles eat bugs, and sometimes birds, so Bug and Flying could be two.
@@GhostGuy99 then Bug/Flying types would be way too vulnerable.
29:24 Not just some of the moves. All Ice-type moves in Gen 1 were Special, since prior to Gen 4, whether or not a move was Physical or Special was dependent on its type, rather than being determined separately
Correct. Normal, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Ground, Rock, Bug, Ghost, and Steel were all Physical, while Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, and Dark were all Special. I feel like if the Fairy Type were introduced before the Physical-Special split, it would most likely be Special.
@@sonicstar917 9 types physical
9 types special (if you imagine what fairy type would be before gen 4
Ice Punch wasn't physical until gen 4?
@@DarkFrozenDepths Correct, it was only in Gen 4 onward that Physical vs Special began to be determined independently from type
@@DarkFrozenDepths yes
Oak was originally supposed to be the Champion in Gen 1
However, that was scrapped making Blue Oak the Champion
So, in universe. Oak gave up his title leaving Lance fully in charge until someone beats him
In Gen 2 it's actually kind of the same thing
Lance is acting Champion till a new one beats him and takes the title
I mean, that is technically how champions work.
@@deadersurvival4716
In Gen 2 the case is a bit different
As to not be directly fighting Red as champion (after beating the 8 Kanto gyms you)
Technically, Red should be Indigo league champ and HE'S the one we'd need to fight to be champion of Kanto
We only quelified as Johto champion candidate
However, to be the True Champion of the Indigo league you must have 16 badges and beat the Previous champion of Kanto Red himself
In this case, Red is the actual champion of the League
We only can be considered a winner of the Johto Cup (The giant Copper badge added to our trainer card In HGSS)
After getting the 8 Kanto badges we fight Red and get the Kanto Cup badge added
Making us the Champion of the Indigo Regional league
In other words
Johto is only half of the BIG region
The Johto and Kanto regions make up a big region
The "indigo" region
@@shelbybayer200 That's cool, but that doesn't change the fact that most championships have two conditions to trade hands. Either you need to beat the previous champ, or you have to be in the right place to have it handed to you when the Champion is done.
Noice, I was just binging your videos yesterday. They're always a blast to watch and you work really hard on them. Always appreciate the work that you do, man.

This is both hilarious and relatable…(I can’t tell if these tears are from laughter or sadness)
I usually skip ads that people have in their videos, but that entire opening bit where you used mostly all Pokemon speak (Regions, characters, the streaming services one was golden) made me watch that entire thing, props to you for making an ad enjoyable
IDK why, but listening to you tear apart the Psychic and Dragon types was so cathartic.
Also you missed a sin for Yellow in that the primitive friendship mechanic could be snapped in two by just using the potion you get from your PC on a full health Pikachu over and over.
(P.S. I appreciate the "Non-binary pals" bit during your Dragon Types TED Talk)
Oh they are plenty of sins in Yellow that were sadly missed. Like, why does Koga only have Venonats and a Venomoth? Why does Sabrina have just member of the Alakazam line (with Abra only having 2 status moves)? And WHY ARE THEIR LEVEL CAPS 50?!
you mentioned the uselessness of Dragonite knowing Barrier, but it's even more useless when you remember that, because of the Physical/Special Split being defined by types up to gen 4, every one of Dragonite's weaknesses are SPECIAL and not physical
Dragonite is weak to Rock, Which is Physical.

You never failed to make me smile when you poke fun at these games regardless on how infuriating they are

I read "poke" as "poké"
I just want to say Gyarodos being a "dragon" makes sense. It's based off the tale of a "carp jumping over the dragons gate and becoming a dragon" So while not a dragon, its theme is certainly such. Same with aerodactyl. It's a rock type cause it's from a fossil, but its a dinosaur which in japanese has the word dragon in it.
That’s a very good point. Yeah, they both seemed like perfect dragon substitute. Except, ok, your point still stands for Aerodactyl but…
….. ok, sorry. I just really like prehistoric animals, but the pterodactyl isn’t a dinosaur. It’s a pterosaur. They’re related to dinosaurs. But they aren’t. Sorry.
@@Thewavedemonjackal Can't say I know the word for pterodactyl in japanese, but I think the point stands. They're associated either way.
@@phantomstarlight1366 that is very very very true. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they are still linked.
@@phantomstarlight1366 ok. Just looked it up. The Japanese word for Pterosaur also has dragon in it. So you were right
@@Thewavedemonjackal What even qualifies as a dinosaur?!?
32:58 Considering he was supposed to battle you and the data for battling him was still in the games at launch and his team was in the 60s save for the 70 Gyarados... Yes.
Yes he was.
Remember that the Special Stat In Gen 1 Was for both special stats. Meaning Physic types with their special moves both hit very hard AND take special hits really well.
Jynx Had a Special Stat of 95
Starmie, Mr. Mime, and Mew had special stats of 100.
Hypno Had a Special stat of 115.
Exeggutor had a Base Special Stat of 125
Alakazam had a base Special Stat of 135
And Mewtwo had a Base Special stat of ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR
So yeah, Physic Types were fucking BUSTED.
Ah, 'Physic' types
It effectively meant that Mewto had a BST of 744 which, to my knowledge, is the highest of any pokemon, excluding alternate forms. And including them means that's it's only beaten by the primals, mega legendaries, and Ultra Necrozma, the latter of which only has 10 more points.
15:10 ohhh boy I still remember Rangugamer's (spanish youtuber) joke with that guy
"Anyway thanks for hearing here's a free bicycle pass, I don't need it, I spend all night riding my rapidash..."
Ya
La voz de anciano que le puso lo hacía incluso más creepy
The sponsorship at the beginning was one of the funniest and most creative ways to advertise something I've ever seen on CZcams.
A lot of comments: "GEN 1 IS THE BEST GEN!!! FITE ME!!!!"
Me: Game is held by duct tape and chanseys.
20:04 Hey, everybody's got their fears not matter how strong they are. Cut Luna some slack.
Plus, Psychic type weaknesses are based on common fears as well.
15:47 Well, true on Misty and Sabrina, but Erika is actually of age apparently. Won't save him from the police though.
Chariii, Voltorb is also the Pokémon-equivalent of a mimic. All the items you grab in the overworld come in Pokéballs, and occasionally you encounter a Voltorb instead. Voltorb, also explode.It’s a basic design, but it’s not that bad. It’s even somewhat fun!
…But Electrode has zero excuse fuck Electrode.
24:55 it’s funny you say that, because, in the Adventures Manga that actually was the case! HALF of the gym leaders were Team Rocket leaders!
23:42 I like to think that oak (and all the other professors) get you to collect all the pokemon for the poke dex in order to make things a lot more accurate to the average behaviour, stats (height, weight, width, etc.) and maybe even to see which Pokémon are endangered or which Pokémon can help the people (and companies) the best? I know this is a sin in a series that isn’t really meant to be taken as actual criticism (most of the time) but that sun was honestly fun to think of an answer for lol
Dawn's piplup in the Anime actually refused to evolve. Plus Piplup also recieved a stone that stopped him from evolving at all
I love the Mew glitch. It's so neat to do.
24:37 If you think this is dumb, in Adventures, Koga, Sabrina and Lt. Surge are Rocket Admins who fused the legendary birds into Thu-Fi-Zer (which really should be Zap-Mol-Artic in the localization). Also Mask of Ice kidnapped Green, Silver (who I might point out, is canonically Giovanni's son), a pair of Adventures-exclusive characters, Will and Karen as children and brainwashed them (save for Green and Silver who escaped) into Team Rocket members. Also his own true identity was Pryce.
Fun Fact: The "Erm... What's his name again?" Is actually confirmed by Oak in LGPE to be a senile joke he does at the expense of his grandson
Ah yes, the First Pokémon Generation, when Psychic Types were dominating the meta, the Stats are unbalanced and the infamous “Lavender Town Syndrome” Creepypasta was born.

Based on the title, is this gonna be a series? Because that would be amazing, I'd love to see your reaction to hop and the entirety of sword and shield
Probably. But by title you are incorrect. We call the pokemon games by what "gen" they are. For example, Red/Blue/Yellow are Gen 1(hence, Genwunners), Gold/Silver/Crystal for Gen 2, Black/White/Black 2/White 2 for Gen 5 and following on.

@@superzeldabound4946 Is it ragging if the complaints are fair? Also, don't you mean just gold and silver? Cause if I remember correctly, those were the ones that were god awful
You wanna know the sad part? Your theory about Giovanni and team rocket owning the pokemon league is actually true....in the manga series, where the elite 4 are evil and paid by team rocket
After reading that old manga a bit more they're even more evil. Lance uses his dragonites hyperbeam to destroy a city. A whole city, thousands of people dead in an instant just because he felt like it
16:38 I just noticed there's a ghost here. Don't think this was in the game either. Nice touch!
2:43 It's using "Bite" which in this Generation, was a Normal Type move. It would've been effective had this battle been in Generation 2 as it's been changed to a Dark Type move for some reason.
It can't learn bite
24:03 im ginna have to correct you there
doduo, despite the name, is actually more inspired by ostriches and emus than the actual dodo bird. you can literally see that by comparing its design to irl ostriches and emus as well. granted this is still a flightless bird, but the fact you said doduo was a dodo based on its name alone when the design clearly states otherwise is something i felt i had to bring up
🤓
And in one of the dex entries states that has poor flying skills.
On TIL, dragon has always been there, even back in gen 1.
What I always thought was that it was introduced in gen 3 and that the Eons were the firsts to get that type, and that beforehand, Dragonite was only a normal/flying type which was called dragon because it looked like one, is rare (at that time), and was strong.
Same with Kindra but with pure water type instead.
In my defense, I properly started with Diamond and only got to go through Kanto and Johto in Soulsilver.
I mean Dratini and Dragonair were only weak to ice...
I don’t understand anything about this comment at all.
What do you mean by "the Eons"? Were you talking about Latios and Latias?
@@IcySlavKat
Yes, Latios and Latias, isn't that the category they share in the Pokedex? And what other name do you call their duo? Not trying to be sassy or anything, I'm genuinely curious about how you call them
@@clemente3966 I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to them as anything other than Latios and Latias before.
10:30 ignoring your criticism, you just caught an Abra in a Pokeball first try, not many people can do that, let alone gen 1
7:52
Fun fact, in the main manga (Adventures/Special), the ability is fully explained. Pressing a button in the pokedex emits a pulse that cancels the evolution. Doesn't give any more depth than that, but it's an answer.
12:25 return of "the manga explains shit"
There, it's an experiment to do with the PC wirelessly sending stuff from place to place, with the Rattatta being a test subject. But the other capsule... thing wasn't working so Bill went to fix it. Just as he fixes it, his shirt gets caught on the door and closes it, and the machine automatically starts.
24:35 Manga 3 & Knuckles
In that adaptation, its actually been abandoned for a really long time, to the point the statues are very damaged. Badges are basically just symbols of strength in the Kanto chapters since the league is a tournament that doesn't require gym badges to participate (also there's lots of spoilers stuff with the elite 4 there but just know the Kanto E4 and gym challenge/champion are very separate things, with the E4 showing up only after Red becomes champion)
8:03 I think in an episode of the D/P/PT anime we found out that Dawn's Pokemon Piplup could of evolved anytime now but kept suppressing it despite how much power it takes, so maybe it also depends on the Pokemon too whether or not they wanted to evolve or not
6:57 This makes more sense in Japanese where Youngsters are called "Shorts Boy"s (bulpapedia translated it as "Shorts Youngster" but as far as I can tell, the literal translation of "kozō" is "little boy" while "youngster" appears to be a less direct translation (oddly it uses the kanji for "little/small monk"))
Yes & the Lass trainers have their Japanese name refer to their Miniskirts. I wonder why we haven't gotten the Lass saying how much she loves wearing miniskirts yet? Wait maybe it's because Pokemon is worried about internationals who would complain the same way the guy in this video complained about the guy gushing over the female gymleaders.
@@WaterKirby1994 Honestly both trends, little girls with miniskirts and little boys wearing short AF shorts make people over here uncomfortable but the short AF shorts thing isn't as widely known over here and as far as I am aware, fell out of fashion a long time ago anyway (Gen 3 onward even has longer shorts for the Youngsters, even in the Gen 1 and Gen 2 remakes). I'm pretty sure the little girls wearing miniskirts thing didn't though.
Wow, I didn't expect a Pokémon video. Good change of pace honestly.
3:43 Pokemon are converted to energy when put inside pokeballs. The energy inside can be transfered between the balls and the computer.
Least I'm _pretty sure_ that's how it works. I can't really apply that logic to items that aren't held items but the item box seems to have been long since retconned out anyway...
7:52 the manga actually explains this.
the pokedex has some power to send some sort of audio wave (i think) to stop the pokemon from evolving
23:50 Here's an idea: What if the pokéball can measure that data? What now, [[Big Shot]]?
About the Gyarados not being a dragon type. it was originally going to be a Water Dragon but in generation 1, it technically would have had no weaknesses because Dragon Rage only does 40HP Damage. it was seen as "broken" by the developers and they decided to change it to a flying type instead.
7:53 in the pokemon anime, dawn's pliplup choose not to evolve. So apparently pokemon can choose whether evolve or not. Also not choosing is apparently exhausting for them.
Ash's Bulbasaur and Squirtle chose as well.
That's because Dawn gave Pipulup an everstone which was not in gen 1
@@colonelsanders4483 I mean, it was choosing not to evolve before it was given the everstone so......
@@colonelsanders4483 actually dawn gave piplup the stone after he showed not wanting to evolve.
I've heard that the reason why Dawn's Piplup didn't evolve was because Piplup's evolutions weren't cute enough.
No idea how it works elsewhere, but in the manga it's said that the pokédex has the ability to release an energy that halts evolution
32:23 Basic Answer? The anime. Yellow is just a game that took inspiration from the anime, which is why you can’t get Meowth, Ekans or Koffing in the game.
27:16 - This might be software limitations, non-level up moves are very rare in G1 and given only to certain Trainers.
[7:19] My favourite game sin of this video.
Your videos are just the absolute BEST.
I love your reactions and responses to things that characters in the game say or do.. Or to even things the game itself says or does.
On the vacancy issue with the elite 4, I always figured when Oak stepped down nobody was able to get past the elite 4 after that. Does it make sense? Hell no, 'cause as you've mentioned, not 1 but 2 10 year olds managed to do it. I guess if you take cut content into account the Oak fight fixes this, but still.
I'm excited to see how you do gen 5! I recently got into pokemon mainly new pokemon snap and black and white! I really like gen 5 because of the story, the music and the character N. He's now become one of my favorite characters. He's so innocent and pure. So, yeah looking forward to gen 5.
12:52 Well, TMs are pretty rare considering that you usually only get one of them per game(even moreso in Gen 5 since they're reusable so there's even less of a reason for there to be multiple TMs). Sure, the TM the Grunt stole can just be bought at the Celadon Department Store, but the Grunt likely didn't know that it was Dig to start with, and since Team Rocket is about stealing rare Pokemon likely to sell them, stealing a TM is just more free money for them.
I'm not sure if I've caught your videos before but I need to give you props for making even the sponsor ad sound entertaining
The sponsorship was really clever, made me laugh and I actually enjoyed listening through it, unlike most people who sponsor in videos. I LOVE the main series Pokémon games, and it makes me really happy to see this video in my recommended list. I don’t know if this is the first of a series where you do the whole series, or just a one-off episode, but I really hope that it’s the former. Your videos always make me laugh the whole way through! Great work, Charrii!!
This is the coolest add read ever! I love it and I actually consider getting this product now xD
And OMG! You roasting Gen1 Dragon Types and Psychic Types was sooo good! I loved it! x3
Also, I am with you there. Gen1 Pokémon are so overrated... Their designs are literally just base of baseline, really o-o
They work as standalone games as most of them have something to do with the environment they're found in. However comparing to other gens it's not even a contest.
for me, gen 5 design complaints fall flat because the argument defaults to two evolutionary lines, in a game with a huge amount of newcomers. the argument is supposed to be "gen 5 pokemon suck because of designs like these", but it ends up more like "gen 5 pokemon are overall solid, with a few exceptions". if they really wanted to make a point, they could cite more than two pokemon when over a hundred were introduced
@@Underworlder5 Funnily enough the people who complain about Gen 5 designs are for the most part complaining about a generation that added pretty much the exact same amount of Pokemon that RBY kicked off the franchise with.
14:29 Even as a kid this dude gave me some weird vibes
It's always been my assumption that the game version of the Pokedex scans the pokemon to create its data entries. It would be kind of self-defeating to have the data already programmed in but only making it accessible after certain conditions have been met. As I recall, they even explain in-game that the Pokedex automatically RECORDS data on encountered Pokemon.
I love your videos, the way you poke fun at games and the voice acting is amazing, hope you make more Pokemon videos.
Fun fact: Lance has an illegal move on his dragonite, barrier. He also has 3 under leveled dragonites in gen 2. Lance is a hacker or uses a game shark
Lol I forgotten about that one
18:02 Twineedle was rightfully removed in Gen 8, it's _probably_ not coming back, not even for future reamakes (BDSP and Legends Arceus don't have it either).
23:58 To be fair, they fixed this in Yellow (still considered a Gen 1 game) and every game after it.
29:25 Uh, ALL Ice-type moves use Special. In Gens 1-3, whether a move used Attack or Special was based on the move's type, not what kind of move it was. In other words, a move like Fire Punch used Special, while Hyper Beam used Attack. Gen 4 is where it changed and made certain Pokemon much more useful because of it.
29:46 This was a very common problem in Gen 1, if you look into it. Many Pokemon didn't naturally learn moves of their type. The Voltorb line didn't learn Electric moves, the Rhyhorn line didn't learn Rock or Ground moves, and so on.
31:24 Really? I just looked up his lineups for this version. He has nothing to counter Lance's team other than one Water-type move for Aerodactyl.
That sponsorship bit was the best I've seen since it intergrats pokemon places into the bit and I love it.
5:39: I recommend playing Legends: Arceus (Oh wait, he already has).
16:43: Actually, Blue's Raticate never died. Mainly due to the Raticate that he uses isn't the same entity as his Rattata, mainly due to its level. The level of Blue's Raticate is under the level that a Rattata evolves, thus meaning that Blue's Rattata never evolved into that Raticate, but rather, he caught the Raticate in the wild.
29:19: Also, there's something else that's wrong about his Dragonite.
DRAGONITE CAN'T EVEN LEARN BARRIER IN GEN 1!!!!
31:05: Ever heard of Pokémon Sun And Moon?
that point about raticate is irrelevant due to the fact that several instances throughout the entire SERIES pokemon have evolved when they shouldnt have, pokemon doesnt follow consistency, they will evolve pokemon randomly to give a challenge. for example in gold silver and crystal lance has a level 47 dragonite when dragonair evolves at lv 55. its something the series does in order to give more of a challenge, it doesnt follow consistency
@@enzolos. The fact that it doesn't follow consistency is just a recurrent flaw. They being evolved means that they were already the next evolution, they just caught them already evolved, what is not explained why is possible in anime, but can be accepted, instead of thinking they evolved their pokemon before the right level, what can't be explained.
21:52
GIOVANNI IS DELIA BABY DADDY CONFIRMED!!!
all dead beat dads know thier off spring when they see em
Charriii: This is some incredible technology, to be able to store physical items in a digital datascape and recall them whenever you'd like. But... how?
Austin of the Game Theorists: Oh buddy, you do not wanna get me started.
Oh no
29:25 correction: in gen 1, moves of a certain type were all physical or special, so, all ice moves were special
I know that these are all done in good faith and for fun but something I want to point out that many people forget or don't realize is gen 1 was kinda built as a child's power fantasy more so than a compelling narrative so things like villains announcing their evil or other logical inconsistencies or oddities can be explained by the original intent.
This is why the child is hyper competent but adults are dumb or irresponsible
It's still fun to do these of course and even what I put here is partially conjecture and heresay
Maybe the Gameboy version is the fantasy, the GBA remakes are real life in the pre-3DS timeline, and the Let’s Go remakes are real life in the post 3DS timeline.
If and when you continue on to the next gens, will you cover multiple pairs of games starting from Gen 3? Like FireRed and LeafGreen? I know they're remakes, so like 95% of their sins would just be sins you mentioned before, but they have new stuff as well, so it might be worth mentioning.
Sin 59 was just Psychic being thr God type
4:00 remember how in the earlier generations the "pokemon world" was just THE world. Like, in fire red and leaf green they reference the apollo program and how Mew was found in the jungles of south america
5:57 Actually that's a common misconception in the Pokémon games. Ash is "ten" years old, but canonically in the games you're older than that. In Gen I Red is canonically 11 years old (according to the Bulbapedia) but I see where the confusion comes from.
TL;DR The anime is not connected with the games and information from it should not be justified for lore in the games.
Where did the Bulbapedia got the info?
@@FranciscoRamirez-nb4uu The old US manual for the games listed their age, iirc.
16:27 I tought the sin was going to be:
A- That the guard could somehow share the tea with all other guards in that amount of time or-
B- That there was enough tea for all those thirsty guards in the first place.
In this Version you actually don't give them Tea, instead you give any one of the three Vendor Machine Drinks. Atleast sharing like, a Bottle of Water is sliiiiiiightly more believable.
They changed it in the GBA Versions because you still have to buy those Drinks, so it was possible (if extremely unlikely to do unintentionally) to get soft-locked if you ran out of Money.
19:00 plus you could only get beedrill naturally in the red version at least initially. I don't know about yellow.
Awesome video!
13:51 I'm pretty sure Unova is America in the Pokemon world. But the name ''America'' shouldn't exist
Basic world building questions problems and plot holes that NEVER GOT ANSWERED and we’re 26 years (and counting) into this franchise.
32:19
Because Yellow was a retroactive game-ification of the anime. It's why Pikachu is your starter, why you get to have all three starters, and why Brock, Misty, Red, and Blue all have new trainer sprites.
Ooh this should be interesting! I already knew you were doing this from all the polls way back when but it's still pretty suprising if that makes sense
13:15 I mean, he IS the grandson of a Pokemon professor.
11:28 HOW IN THE FUCK-
In the manga they can push a button on the Pokédex to make a sound that stops Pokémon from evolving.
One thing I noticed watching the Elite 4 section and surprised you didn't point out was the first 3 have mostly Pokemon that were already represented by gyms. Lorelei has mostly water type, Agatha has all poison types, and Bruno has 2 Onixes who are rock/ground. At least Lance is basically flying and dragon.
as much as I absolutely adore the rest of this video and the ongoing ‘I’m not supposed to be able to do this’ thing which sums up gen 1 perfectly in as few words as possible, I just can’t get over the fact that you included enbies in your sin about the gyarados on lance’s team, ‘guys, gals and non binary pals’. as an enby myself, my respect for you and your channel has just skyrocketed, I never see non binary inclusion or acknowledgment anywhere outside of specific lgbtq+ spaces, and I can not thank you enough
@Carterb92 damn, guess I’ll be meeting your girlfriend in the land of the imagination
13:37 (nice) Also, the s.s. Anne ISN'T EVEN MOVING! How did you get seasick on a ship that was STATIONARY?!
23:02 A bird
