- I've played Gen 1 Pokemon about a million times in my life, so you could say I'm somewhat of an expert on optimal strategy. Plus, we have a ton of fun along the way!

Love this. 32 years old but still have a sweet spot for Pokemon.
35 this year. Still playing it on my mint psp. Cheers mate!
32 as well lol
35, just found this Pokémon yellow legacy. You can get a game boy on your phone and play it 🤙 it’s ace!!
Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but at 2:01:35 , the reason Kangaskhan wasn't taking much damage is because your Graveller was burned. A burned pokemon's attack stat is cut in HALF.
I read this comment legit like 5 seconds before it happened in the video, I love when that happens
That's one of those in-game mechanics that you don't understand until you've played the game almost "too much." Seems like Paralysis and Poison have a 25% damage reduction modifier, Burn does 50% less, while Freeze and Sleep nullify move effects 100% (pretty sure you can't even use Rest or Recover in these States)
@@Karl_Kampfwagen Freeze is basically KO in Gen 1. A Frozen Pokémon will never recover on its own, it can only recover with an Ice Heal, Full Heal or Full Restore.
In Gen 2 onwards Freeze works more like Sleep where there's a %chance to thaw every turn.
Gen 1 has a ton of weird/busted/dumb mechanics, and that's partly why it's so much fun. My favourite? Toxic and Leech Seed share the same "timer". If you badly poison a Pokémon with Toxic and then use Leech Seed, not only does Toxic damage double each turn... so does Leech Seed damage and life drain. Uh-oh, busted!
One weird mechanic that I'm sad they got rid of - in Gen 1, base Speed affects crit rate, so Jolteon will crit all over the place. That mechanic was wonky and probably too beneficial to fast Pokémon (being fast is already an advantage) but it was kinda neat.
@@Karl_Kampfwagen Only Burn reduces _ATTACK_ - Paralysis and Poison don't affect stats at all.
Friends: U wanna hang out tonight?
Me: nah in busy
Also me: watches 3h long pokemon video
Me tonight
Lol
Great playthrough. There's also interesting glitch about Toxic move. If You combine it with Leech Seeds (which Exeggcute can learn on lvl 28 so don't evolve too early) not only Toxic will be stronger every turn but also it'll gain stacked damage from Leech Seeds and vice versa - Leech Seeds every turn will be stronger by the amounts of damage Toxic will make each turn. This make it ultimate combo - large damage and healing at the same time increasing every turn. It's one of the best thing about Bulbasaur line but can be also used with Exeggcute line.
I used toxic with wrap on Dratini on 1st gen
Good thing they fixed that bug. Can you imagine how OP Alolan Exeggutor would be with that combo?
Hey everyone, something different than my normal recaps, but I just love pokemon and wanted to share!

I like your let's plays 👍❤
I've got a question
I started the game with Bulbasaur, and I have Kadabra, which means I have a grass type and a psychic type
Does this mean I don't need a eggxecutar?
@@Nylspider I suggest you catch it. It will come in handy for the elite 4.
@@KitsuneGod28 It does have a good special stat
However, venesaur has a special stat of just 25 less, so I was wondering if it even mattered
@@Nylspider ( thinking face) it depends on what move you use first.
Seeing the poke balls/items on the ground always gave me such a special happy feeling as a kid. I wish I could feel it again
Pro im taking my hat down for you for recording yourself for 3 hours and then posting it holy cow good job keep going
“I HATE ZUBAT!”
-two minutes later-
*catches a Zubat*
I feel ridiculous in that I’m 28 and I’m laughing at “Bumfart”.
I’m 32 and I grinned at this comment.
Bumfart... lol it's just funny 😂
Same
U dum
When he said: ,,Smell you later!"
I absolutely love this walk through. Commentary is just incredible, both funny and informative. Keep up the amazing work 👏.
You mention that the Burglars use fire types and it doesn't make sense, but in the Japanese version they're specifically called something like "thief at the scene of a fire", or someone who steals after a fire happens.... kind of a mouthful in English, lol. In japanese its kajibadorobou so it's... slightly less long (?) But yea it makes some sense I guess that they have fire types. Maybe they even cause the fires so they can loot!!!
Thanks for this.
Makes a lot of sense.
Playing gen 1 again and found this vid, honestly amazing you recorded and edited a video over 3hrs long! Love it man
wow this was an amazing watch, brought back good memories ! unexpected but pleasant surprise from the man of recaps. great strategy too. much love from Australia … thanks
Started playing pokemon blue again and just watching this to get a recap of what i have to do
This is by far the most entertaining playthrew I've watched and I've looked around.
The way you call out just about what each trainer was impressive!
You had a nice little theme of nick names and story line full of jokes 🤣
Be proud of yourself.
I basically played right along and would be watching what each trainer had so I knew who to lead with for each fight 😆
Now that I've just finished blue I'm either going to play Yellow or Crystal.
It would be cool if you did a playthrew Crystal.
im doin the same right now!
Jolteon could have been named traVOLTA. It’s electrifying ! 😂
Love it
Not only did I learned a bunch of helpful information, also I was greatly entertain by your commentary. I've been playing the Pokemon Red emulator for two months. One my first try, I had made it till the Pokemon Tower. I had to restart after I replace my broken phone.
My Original Team: (Name)
Charmeleon (Draco)
Pidgeotto (Kaze)
Nidoking (Senbon)
Pikachu (Sparky)

yo
how did they get the colors like this ? is this a patch somewhere?
@Paren Sønner I'm playing the original version, there's no color.
@MoonmanSP I want a rom like this. I use open emu. do you know where a .gbc file is? looked for 3 weeks can't find anything.
@@socialxi iirc this is just what Gen 1 looked like on a GBC or using the Super Gameboy on SNES
The idea of Jolteon's cry being Owen Wilson's "wow" is hilarious. Great stuff!
This was really funny and entertaining. Good job!
Great video, as soon as i saw the video i was literally thinking "I really hope he grabs a Kadabra" and you did, basically the best pokemon obtainable early in the game, Mini Mewtwo imo.
In 1998 September when red and blue Pokemon released here in the U.S, I had just turned 8 years old 2 months prior to the release. Gameboy Color and Pokemon Blue for Christmas. Also got the talking Pikachu watch and other Pokemon Stuff. That was a great year and we still have photos of that Christmas. Being 31 years old now, I have never actually beat a Pokemon game. Now I'm playing Leaf Green because of the updated everything and learning things I forgot as a kid. I played as far as Emerald, Gold, and Sapphire, but never really got into it because there was so many new Pokemon. Maybe It's because I started getting into Yugioh and after watching the first gen Pokemon TV show, Yugioh was my new go-to.
Thanks for the video, I did watch over an hour, but will continue to come back to watch the rest. Great comedy too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. It’d be amazing if you did one for each generation of Pokémon games.
When you named him bumfart you deserved my like
If you think about it, Blue was the superior version. Persian was the critical hit king and Victreebel had access to
Wrap while Vileplume did not.
Sleeper take. . .maybe ppl will finally come around and realize
Acanine beats ninetales by a mile so that pretty much evens it
Why havent I seen this channel before? Love your content!
Duuuuude YES! You are THE MAN!!! Love your energy man and you are freakin HILARIOUS! Would like to support you with the membership! Would be SO awesome to see you play more games or even do live play throughs, could watch you and ur jokes all day brotha!!!Really believe in you man!! Cheers! 🎉👏🏼👏🏼 #bestChannel
I don't know of this is considered a glitch or not, but you can get past the marowak without the silph scope, just use a pokedoll on the ghost and done
Another way is using the Pokédoll
Hey I just watched this whole video and loved every second of it. I love how in depth you went with a lot of things. This journey was a fun watch and I’ll be sure to subscribe and check out the other videos!
My tenth birthday was yesterday(December 22 2019)and my uncle gave me his original purple gameboy color and the pokemon red game, and this is what im using to help me with it XD
The video was released 7 months ago and i see the comment 5 hours ago xD
Cool
lol u 11 now
@@benncraftz3303 mhm :D
@@floofyyy your acct says made 8 yrs ago so does that mean you were using CZcams at 3/4? I’m actually curious lmao
Man this is a major nostalgia trip. Brilliant
I've been playing Pokemon Green on emulator recently and replayed Blue last year, I just can't get enough of this game. It's fun seeing a long time fan play through the game in their own style. There's not just one way to play and it's fun hearing you recant tales about playing it as a kid. Everyone had their own special experiences! Like Nidoran Up and Down... very funny.
Is Pokémon green a real game
@@jesseporter3397 It is! In Japan, they released "red and green" together instead of "red and blue". Japan released a blue version later, and that was used as the basis for the American release.
Essentially, "Green" is an older, buggier version of Red and Blue that released only in Japan. It's called ポケモン緑 in Japanese if you want to look it up.
A fun fact: The only other time you hear this intro theme is on Nugget Bridge.
Haha indeed, nice catch 😁
Holy crap, you're right! XD
Don't know if I'm just misremembering but don't you hear it after you become champion?
Nice! 😊👍
I admire your ability to keep talking all the way through - I sometimes just don't know what to say during Let's Plays, maybe I should just pick more interesting games. 😉
2:01:41 Not only does Kangaskhan have pretty ok defence, but you where burned, witch lowers your attck stat ;)
I was debating restarting my old games, but this solidified my decision to do it!
I had no idea you were so into pokemon but this was so awesome to watch, please do some other gens in the future!
You don't need a full team for Red/Blue. Venusaur, Alakazam (Kadabra when an emulator is not used), and Jolteon are more than enough. Bulbasaur has advantage for the first three gyms, Kadabra sweeps Team Rocket, and Jolteon deals with Flying-Types.
Movesets for Elite Four:
Venusaur: Razor Leaf (broken in Gen1), Hyper Beam (no recharge when it KOs), Swords Dance (boost and sweep with Hyper Beam), Sleep Powder (makes the sweep easier)
Alakazam: Psychic, Seismic Toss (for Jynx and Exeggutor), Thunder Wave, Recover
Jolteon: Thunder Bolt, Bite (can help against Agatha), Thunder Wave (must and nice with Bite), Double Team (Thunder Wave's Paralysis helps with setting it up)
Bite is normal in gen 1 so it'll be sort of a disadvantage
@@rafaelethan9695 I forgot that it was Dark in the rom hack I played. Then Pin Missile or Double Kick. Dark-type Bite is way more useful. The idea is to spam Thunder Wave with Jolteon, then set up Double Team (to maximum), and then hax with Bite (Paraflinch). Really annoying if it works
I had no internet for the past couple of days so I played Pokemon Red for the first time and actually beat it without any help lol. I was stuck so many times but now I can brag about that
My buddy and I starting this challenge to play this game through using starter and first five caught. This is helping me research the team I’m gonna use thank you LOL
Enjoyed the playthrough, when you laugh.. its like you've done something naughty lol
one final thing... Genius putting abra into daycare as thats a ball ache to level up. And for psychic types or other tricky types I use hyper fang on them (it often one hits ko when your raticate is just a couple levels higher). even against powerful psychics. Incredible move! It was what got me over the line v gary aka red aka bumfart.
Please make versions for crystal gold and silver enjoyed watching this
i always fished at safari zone for a dratini, dragonite is OP
😀 Watching this video brought back memories. 🙂 After watching the video, I decided to play the game. 🙂 I still got it and haven't played it for years. (I've named my rival "Jerk" in the game) 😀 In my Blue team, I have Blastoise, Fearow, Flareon, Exeggutor and Dewgong at level 50. 🙂 I've got a Diglett at level 20 and I, will raise it to level 50. 🙂 So far, I have 6 gym badges. :) (I've won the 6th badge before catching Diglett)
I always name my rival after my older brother, Milan
So I actually followed you til the end and noticed a few moves that actually helped I kept dig finished Kadabras and all, Jolteons Pin Missile annihilates Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venusaur so you actually could have finished it with only 3-4 Pokémon’s in my opinion. Great game play. Thank you for the fast finish now it’s time to collect and level them all, by the way I’m playing it on the original Game Boy Advance, Pokémon Blue Version.
Cool strats. I do something similar but I use Jynx for my only psychic type, use blastoise more & teach jolteon t-wave for paralyzing alakazams. I also skip bellsprout and just teach wartortle seismic toss for Misty
Haha that was an ... well ... onixpected video...
Love it though
Nothing like finding this gem! Cheers 👌
In my LeafGreen campaign, I frigged around in the Safari Zone for ages trying to catch a Tauros. After about six birthdays, I caught one.
I was really surprised with the choice of Squirtle… I had no idea that that was the best choice! All these years, I was convinced that it was Bulbasaur! :0 And I tried runs with all three starters!
I still think it's bulbasaur. I do understand his point about not getting vine whip as fast as bubble but fighting the bug catchers and the 2nd rival doesn't take that long and you can fight Misty right away.
I still think it’s bulbasaur. It’s usually dependant on how they do early game.
Charmander: weak to first two gyms
Squirtle: super effective against first, neutral second and weak third.
Bulbasaur: super effective against first two, resistant to third and brutal fourth. By the time you get to his weaknesses you have enough choice for coverage.
@@rossy9095 Also worth mentioning: Bulbasaur's final evolution occurs at level 32, rather than level 36 for both Squirtle and Charmander.
Bulbasaur = easy early game, hard late game.
squirtle = medium difficulty throughout
Charmander = hard early game, easy late game
Bulbasaur actually is one of the better starters for speedruns and Nuzlocks
So this has to be post commentary because some parts had to have been sped up in post because its impossible to have that precision w/ that speed like some naming parts or the spin tiles, its crazy how good the commentary is that it really makes you feel like you're playing as you go. Did you write a script?
Just stumbled across this recently lol would love to see you play other Pokémon games in the future
If I may ask, which emulator are you using? Btw, this is a really fun playthrough and I hope you'll make some more for the other pokemon games!!
Learning more about game mechanics than ever
2023 and im playing this on mobile I love this game 👍🏻 thanks for the refresher mate 😁👍🏻
@Man Of Recaps what's the best emulator to use?
You should have a second channel where you should do this more
How did you get color on it?
My emulator (GBC) wont produce the color in pokemon red or blue
Try using My OldBoy!
(GB/GBC Emulator)
Your GBC games will be emulated in GBA
Your GB games will emulated on SGB(Super Game Boy)
Its all done automatically
Dodrio is basically a Tauros that can fly. Both normal types work well as they are immune to the secondary effects of normal moves and won't get paralysed by any bodyslams.
Man of recaps can you pls do the mew glitch in cerulean city
Pleasant voice my friend.... just enough humor and excitement
Ikr
That really is no rant
@@NoxmilesDe I don’t get it
Please, keep doing this
im just starting to get into the pokemon games/anime and would love advice on where to start im already on season 2 of the anime and have only played 1 pokemon game which was let's go pikachu.
1:57:55 - That's where you want to train Jolteon until it learns Pin Missile, a Bug Type move. Multiple strikes, super effective, and lots of PP
What the heck is pp?
Derp
@@devilgirl7054 I always assumed it was Pokemon Power points, as in: how many times your PokeMon has Power to use the move. No Power points left, and the move is unusable; deplete all PP from all moves and you will now force the hidden move "Struggle," which has infinite/zero PP, deals recoil damage, is Normal-type, and has moderate damage at best. Famously, you can raise the Magikarp quicker by emptying the PP of Splash, Struggle attack other Magikarp to death, and using a ton of Potions instead of PokeMon Center healing.
@@Karl_Kampfwagen
????
It is impressive how you mastered it always a classic
Most dank let's play ever! :D
2:18:57
I kept Squirtle as my main pokemon, got bite on it, and by this point he's lvl 64, got me through pretty much everything with ease
accept that ghost tower, but my dugtrio saved me with its dig move
It's my 1st time playing pokemon games so i dunno what i'm doing
But it looks like it's going rather well
only 2 blackouts from said ghost tower
True, psychic type would have come in handy.
I always like to call my rival some kind of snack, like pretzel or muffin.
You made me feel SO MUCH BETTER about accidentally departing the SS Anne and watching it sail away with my XP 😂
This video just popped up in recommended videos so I started watching and then I downloaded it on my PC and starting playing it again. Still hold up for a fun game imo if you're just looking to chill.
Is Bubblebeam worth teaching my Warturtle over Water gun or normal bubble? (TM11 you get from Misty)
Oh for sure bubble beam is the stronger move, it’s a great one
I've never known you can change your moves around like you did at 16:09?
Must be an emulator thing?
I'm playing on pizza boy plus
I picked up Blue yesterday morning and beat it by 4AM this morning following along with this video. lol gg
Do you have more videos like this for the other games????
bro your so underated i hope you make it to 100k
🙌
35:40 all the jokes you make to yourself are priceless 🤣 i am in doubt to actually play blue on my original brick gameboy again, but my childhood memory is saved in there... perhaps with yellow if I find a video of you speedrunning that one
I'm kinda jealous that you kept your first save. I would delete mine and replay them a lot.
my childhood in 3 hours haa. one question id like to know is how you got the games on your laptop/PC?
I actually used Dux as one of my main Pokémon. He’s a beast.
1:25:46 and Hypno? Playing with my son already as well, but I let drowzee grind at diglett cave and got a hypno quite early that way instead of drowzee. Wdyt?
I never thought id see the day!!!
Countering high level psychics such as rivals' alakazam can be some of the toughest fights.
If you put in your own psychic type and spam psychic moves you can usually special drop it several times effectively neutralising the threat both offensively and defensively. This may be more reliable than relying on your physical attacks vs recover, if you cannot outdamage the recover then the rest of your team have to fight a full power 'kazam which can easily be a team wipe. However, if the kazam is heavily special dropped it will not be able to do siginficant damage and will no longer wall special moves. The downside of this strategy is you will often sacrifice your own psychic type or at least waste most of it's PP.
Paralysis is also useful as it prevents alakazam from sweeping through your team (you will always strike first against a paralysed opponent), and opens it up for an easy revenge kill from any strong physical attacker. Also with any grindy type strategy you are bound to get one or two 'full para' turns which are bound to give you an advantage.
How did you get the game to display with these specific colors?
If I miss the love stream will I be able to come back. And watch it later
I always knew you were cool but now that I found this vid you became 10X cooler in my eyes. Lol
Wartortle is my favorite water type and Farfetch’d is my favorite normal type, and geodude is my favorite rock type😂
35:20 "mehh" I felt that pain😂
never considered using dewgong, mostly just caught a lvl 40 tentacool for surf/icebeam purposes.
late joiner so i feed it calcium before elite four
I call my bellsprout steminem xD and abra can be traded for a mr mime if you quickly backtrack through digletts cave Mr Mime levels up significantly faster and it's actually very good!
I really love this video, would be amazing you doing more of this
I have a question, what do I do if kadabra doesn’t learn confusion by level 20? I thought it was supposed to learn it at level 17-18, also I learned that it learns disable at lvl 20. So do I just like not have to chance to get confusion at this point or do I have to get another one? Also great video helped me out a lot so far, much respect to you
Ah yes the big problem with Kadabra in gen 1 is, he learns Confusion at lvl 16 when he evolves, and only at lvl 16! So if your Abra in the daycare hits 16, he’ll still evolve to Kadabra at 17, but never learn confusion. And there’s no other damaging psychic move til psybeam much later like 27. That’s why if abra comes out of daycare at 16 you’re better off trading him for Mr Mime!
@@ManofRecaps ok thx for the help, I'm going to just get another one and try my luck again
Awww was hoping you'd do the playthrough with Mew from Cerulean. You caught the Abra in the spot where you'd teleport start, but oh well
Recap (entering Misty's gym): Yeah, it normally takes about 2 hours to get here.
Me (about to enter Mt. Moon after 5 hours): Yeah, totally.
Usually I'm done with the game by 2 hours.... then again, I play on 4x speed
I've got a question
I started the game with Bulbasaur, and I have Kadabra, which means I have a grass type and a psychic type
Does this mean I don't need a eggxecutar?
Itz A Rubix there’s a million different teams that could work, bulbasaur and kadabra will do just fine :-)
@@ManofRecaps thanks for replying so fast!
How do you have this color pallete please ?
Man of recaps: mentions attack type moves
Me: beyblade flashbacks
3...2...1 Let It Rip!
I cant believe I sat here for 3 hours 😂
Great 3 H gameplay! I hope you´ll maybe do one day a 5 H crystal run :)
For anyone who is willing to play this game yourself, consider what I’m going to say:
- ALWAYS stock up on healing items, you never know if a wild Nidoran could poison your newly caught Mankey
- Whenever possible, try to overlevel all of your Pokémon, it will help to deal with tanky foes
- Charizard can’t learn fly, so when you do get the HM, get a random low level pidgey or a useful flying type you want on your team to learn it.
- Lastly, that’s it, just enjoy the great and very buggy Gen 1 experience
Edit: One more thing: fight every trainer there is in an area, the exp is worth it
Seismic Toss I throw on Jynx, with Lovely kiss it become a capture sleep pokemon.
Abra for Mr. Mime is odd when Abra has the better Special even before evolving.
your exeggutor creeps me out, it was like staring to my soul.. more creepier than lavender town bgm 😣
Nice team. Jolteon is my go-to for the E4 too. It is very strong pretty much from the word go with the thunderbolt tm. Also, unlike zapdos it is not weak to ice attacks.
Other nice alternative pokes for in game play:
Zapdos
Articuno
Jynx
Cloyster
Starmie
Hypno
Nidoking/queen
Dodrio
Mr. Mime
Clefable
Really if you look at the E4 you really only need 1) an electric for Lorelei and Gyrados, 2) A psychic which sweeps Bruno and Agatha and at least average vs everything else, and 3) A strong ice attacker for Lance. After the electric/psychic/ice coverage is sorted the remaining team can be redundancy and safety. I like to have a physical sweeper too like dodrio and a strong earthquake user.
