I absolutely love that the Pokemon speedrun strategy is exactly the same strategy you employed as a 7-year old: just use your starter for every fight

The fact any of these can be "glitchless" is hilarious considering how broken these games were.
Yeah, like when Nidoking abuses the X Accuracy exploit.
"Glitchless" means "glitchless". There is a separate glitch category.
It’s not a glitch, it’s a feature
@@TheCandoRailfan not really. red bar and bike text skip are both glitches.
@@kasyu1101 Bike text skip is a glitch, red bar isn't.
That bike text skip - game assumes you to buy a bike and glitches when you don’t.
Pokémon RB is held together with duct tape and wishful thinking.
At least the English versions.
The Japanese Blue version is quite solid.
I remember both clearly. Yellow changed my world because "pikachu " could talk lmao
Patsy Patarchy amazing. Maybe. As long as you don‘t consider the inhumane hours the devs had to pull for that.
Just, wow
i just cant believe they dont allow the bike glitch but they allow the RNG manipulation... id argue thats way bigger of a glitch.... from slightly faster text to removing all important RNG.... i dunno... they both should be out of a glitchless run
Are you serious
The whole time they thought you had to press A in 1/60th of a second
When all you had to do was just hold it down?
How did nobody else try that?
I knew that since I was a kid wtf lol
Well, it's not like this is World of Warcraft with millions of people actively searching for new methods to speed up the game. There are only a small handful of people that actively look for new methods... like... 4 people.
And this is what we call a HALF A press
and how isnt this a glitch? surely it is?
@@MackenziiRivers its more of a exploit them a glich
based on my knowledge of Gen1, glitchless isnt actually possible
Seriously. Even the most basic things are broken. Critical hits and focus energy being completely broken, never thawing from being frozen unless your hit with a fire type move, the combined special stat making psychic types invincible and OP, stacking leech seed and toxic, the move counter, etc... Gen 1 is just an absolute broken mess
@@joshuah.4496 *badge* 👏 *boost* 👏 *glitch*
@@joshuah.4496 getting a stat boost is causing a glitch because when one stat lowers or gets raised, every other does by one
Ya it really isnt possible lol the debate on 'glitches' here proves it. Gen 1 is broken & not just for the glitches, let us remember the infamous 'ghost is strong against psychic!!' and the only ghosts are weak to psychic w/double poison typing 🤦♂️
The Nidorino that Prof. Oak shows you in the intro scene also has the cry of a Nidorina; it's literally impossible to play the game without encountering an error
2:20 "because Pokemon Blue gives you a higher chance of getting sandshrew after Mount Moon"
that makes it sound like Pokemon Red has sandshrew
I mean it's Technically true, 0% would be lower
Sandshrew is my favorite Pokémon. I didn't realize he was not in Red. My sister and I got the games at the same time, and she got Red and I got Blue. My whole life would have been different if we reversed the colors. Thank you for this wild moment I'm having!

Oh yeah, Salt kills it man!
Kind of baffling that the ridiculously inaccurate in-game timer was not abandoned earlier.
Probably because people either didnt know if it was accurate or people were only usually able to prove their times with the timer.
Noah Also, while not as important for accurate record keeping, seeing that ending time is such a rush as compared to the external timer.
Ingame timers are good enough, until all the records are ties.
Speed Demos Archive rules are so dated. It was good at the time but the speedrunning community has evolved so much that no one takes that website seriously anymore.
Right now the RE:2 Remake speed runs run off of an in-game timer since depending on the hardware it's played on can result in drastically differnet times...I believe.
I don't know how this guy does it but I am enthralled by every one of these videos, even though I haven't played any of them.
The attention to detail and taking the time to explain the evolution of strats and routes on a level that both people that never played the games before or are pretty good at said game makes it very appealing :D Huge props to Salt
I'm right there with ya.

For anyone curious, the current record for this category as of today is 1:45:21 held by pokeguy.
Edit: Apparently it’s now Hwangbro with 1:45:05.
It's pretty unbelievable that it's remained unbeaten for 2 years.
@@El_Kanto I'm gonna assume that my comment was the blessing this speedrunner needed to attain the new world record. You're welcome, new world record holder.
Kidding aside, that's amazing by them.
For anyone curious, 25 runners currently have a better PB than the WR was back then :D
@@El_Kanto Gunner once said that sub 45 is impossible, but this is just five seconds more. Sub 45 is alive!
Hes my buddy
I knew ExtraTricky from my dorm at MIT! He hadn't picked up pokemon speedrunning yet but he was really good at tetris (and even better at advanced mathematics, he took a graduate algebraic geometry class as a sophomore and was a top 19 scorer on the putnam his junior year). Crazy talented guy.

Ironic.
"But that is a progression for another day"
Still waiting for it.
Holy crap. I'd probably reset after 18 encounters. Coming back to get a record is amazing.

It's already been almost 4 years, where has the time gone?
Mish Koz 4 Years?!? Holy shit.
it's still a thing, there running another game on February 12th

I think "Weed Runners" is a more fitting term here, lol.

damn, that solves everything
Me, this is me

Well, if people couldn’t outplay him just yet, maybe somebody could out-strategize him
This, is ExtraTricky
“Well yeah, I would think it would be pretty ha- oh. It’s... actually just ExtraTricky...”
Really bamboozled me who mostly listens to these videos instead of watching xD
i think that part is actually my favorite bit of editing in this video, i love the quadrants of extratricky's icon coming in, its so cool
"ExtraTricky did his runs on Emulator, which I'm sure won't cause any controversy later or anything."
Cracked up here. Controversy isn't a thing that exists, haha.
"He did his run on emulators, I'm sure that won't cause any problems later on."
I literally laughed out loud for almost a minute. I've watched enough of your videos to know it's going to cause a lot of problems.
Speedrunners are so paranoid
That "controversy" is dumb. I mean, an actual console can still be modified, and you could also just blur the video a little and say it's a console.
Consoles have background noise that can’t be spliced, emulators don’t. So for an rng heavy game like Pokémon it makes sense to make sure that spicing is impossible.
it's more to prevent TAS cheating
Also emulators may have _very_ slight mechanical differences that could give _slight_ advantages, even if it would be nigh impossible to spot. Forcing everyone to use the same thing in theory prevents that.
If this problem actually exists or if the solution fixes anything is another topic that i myself am not familiar with.
For anyone curious, the current world record for this category as of today is 1:45:05 held by Hwangbro.
Love you
Why did I click that timestamp
Is this still current?
Current is now 1:44:03 done by Pokeguy
Poke guy got a 1:44:03
lol i bet extratricky hears the encounter song in his sleep
14:50 jpaintrain looked exactly like a guy I went to school with, so I messaged him and found out it is him! Wtf "an old highschool friend has appeared" in one of summoning salts videos!??! Small world I guess.
Chris Beach thats pretty crazy
Thats actually very cool.
Wow! That’s awesome!
Mr. Cub Fan 415 aye ima die hard Cubs fan since 1998(: but yea he's a Kool dude from East Tennessee, we played ball together growing up, It made my day when I messaged him and he told me it was him. He was already aware of the video. Sadly he doesn't speedrun much anymore. It still blows my mind he had the WR and I didn't even know about it. I guess that's part in due to people drifting apart after high school.
Chris Beach :')
I'm not terribly interested in speedruns, but I always feel a pang of rage when I hear that a small rule change destroyed the previous records.
It seems like this should be a 'new category' thing rather than a 'nope all of this didn't happen, retconning it.' thing.
Sciver Zero shit happens, too many categories split the player base too much.
Soul Elavation, you right
@@soulelevation9696 Who gives a fuck if there are more speedrun categories. Clearly you've never worked towards a goal as insane as a world record, otherwise you'd be able to empathize with the original poster's point.
You just have an addendum that they were previous records using the old rules. A record is just history once it's beat, so whether it was a record on an old rule list or the new one doesn't matter if there are multiple new runs that beat it on either rule set. Your Old run may be delegitimized under the old rules, but that doesn't mean you aren't part of the history if it was a legitimate run under the old rules, it just means you have to Stay as a historical run, or get gud and compete for a new world record under the new rules, or beat your old record.
the former record isn't erased from history, this has never been a problem. Proof is the existence of this video and its view count.
God what a mess of a leaderboard, I feel bad for the people playing this category knowing some random change in the rules could tear down their achievements at any time at no fault of their own
isnt that basically how real life works?
@@randomnerd4600 Real life isn't a competition, ideally
Changes like this most of the time are voted in the community which means probably most people wanted this change so the majority would rather be happy then anything else
@@PangolinMontanari Then you're playing it WRONG!
it's almost as if the leaderboards are as unstable as the game's code
It's insane, but now the WR for red/blue stands at 1:44:03 held by Pokeguy84. 2nd place is 1:45:05 by hwangbro. Former record was obliterated by over a minute in one of the most optimized speedruns where basically no stone has been left unturned.
We need an epic 5 year follow up video forsure
Saying a run is very optimised and no stone has been left unturned is ignorant. There is always a way especially with a run that long.
@@PoliPantev Have you looked at the WR run? Do you see where the timesave is concerning routing? Because every decision made in the run has been analyzed to death to the point that if you're aiming for WR your odds of completing a run are almost zero. The luck in the WR itself is incredible to the point that you could run the game for many, many years and not beat the WR time.
@@dstreetz91 its optimised for now. But finding new strats can lower it. And history has taught us, that more often than not a time can always be lowered.
@@PoliPantev A new strat can happen, true. However, its very unlikely given how deeply analyzed it is at this point. The new strat must also be something big to compete with this insane WR run from Pokeguy, which lowers the chance even further.
People did say it before and were wrong. But i think Pokeguy finally killed Red/Blue for good with this run.

Remember, kiddies, if you want to get a good speedrun, pray to RNGesus

Depends on the game. A Celeste run has no RNG, whereas RPG speedruns are built around it because of the very mechanics of most RPG fights are built off of RNG.
@@samt3412 True but not to the same extent as Pokemon games are.
Atleast most FF games have constant stat growths, minus a few. (looking at you, FF2)

someone got 1:45:21 as of July 2019. Werster is now at 1:51:18 in 28th place.
Literally every speedrunner looks like what you’d expect a speedrunner to look like 🤣🤓
21:38 It is so ironic that even is you totally destroyed the previous world record *the game still tells you "You still have lots to do,"*
I just spent 30 minutes of my life on this, and honestly no regrets brother.
It seems like Pokémon speed runners have ice in their veins because their reactions to getting a WR is wayyy more chill than most of the other runners you’ve shown from other games.
I agree! I think Pokémon speedrun are so brutal that they are just dead inside by that point 😂

Talking to a bike shop keeper without a voucher: bad
Softreset into literally Konami-Coding yourself into a desired position: perfectly fine
...excuse me, wat?
Talking to the bike shop guy without the voucher produces an unintended effect.
Resetting and then doing inputs is intended and is used for generating "randomness", you are just doing the inputs that lead to the "randomness" generator generating what you want.
In short instatext is taking advantage of an oversight while in rng manip you just know how the game works

Problem being that you can’t completely prevent yourself from going to low HP all the time, while avoiding talking to the bike owner before you have the voucher is quite easy.
@@Janders3000 You can also argue that the sound "issue" is intentional, the game skips sounds if another sound is playing by design. The fact that this speeds up a run does not make it a glitch.

But yeah, Gunner, Pokeguy and Exarion made a everyday grind out of this, thats why i understand Wersters decision to quit.

i am not sure whether i understand that correctly: werster stopped, because the other 3 you named are grinding everyday to push the WR down further?

Nostalgic feelings aside the one thing I love about gen 1 that'll probably never leave for me or change in any way is the brokenness of them.
Wilfred Cthulu The glitches were half the fun.
I agree, I love the glitches
When Gen I was actually out, most kids only knew about the MssingNo glitch. People would no doubt occasionally come across other glitches, but as a kid: 1) you wouldn't understand what happened (in some cases you might not even realise it was a glitch), 2) you wouldn't be able to replicate the glitch and 3) you wouldn't spread word about the glitch out further than your close friends because a lot of people didn't have Internet back then (and for the people who did, it was painfully slow).
The best you could do is keep buying the gaming magazines in shops and hope one of the readers had discovered a glitch, written into the magazine writers about it, and the magazine decided to write about it.
Basically, I'm trying to say, yes the games are full of glitches, but in practice as a child the experience was relatively glitchless. The games did, for the most part, play as intended. I know now that the games are quite ridiculous, but at the time it didn't seem like that.
The thing that confused me most was that I understood the type chart even when I was very young, and seeing things like Razor Leaf be "Not very effective" on Gyarados, or Leech Life be "Super effective" on Zubat was confusing. But I could tell from the actual damage they did that the game was calculating the damage correctly, it was just the text that was wrong. And I got Pokemon Stadium a few years later and in that game they displayed the correct text.
A gltich I did come across by accident was in Viridian Forest I died from poison the same time as the last Bug Catcher in Viridian Forest saw me. I fainted but the exclamation mark still appeared above his head. Then when I went back into Viridian Forest a wild Slowbro appeared immediately. I was like WTF at the time, and now i understand what happened, but at the time I had no idea what happened, why it happened, and how to do it again.
I played on an emulator at 15 with some knowledge a well known bug, the Ditto glitch, though yes you are right, it was glitchless my first play through (forgot that last bit)
The vast majority of people don't play Pokemon because it's a balanced RPG. Smogon-heads who farm natures and perfect EVs for fun have a hard time understanding why people loved those old ones so much.
i want to see a TASbot no major glitches run where they just manipulate every little piece of RNG to go their way. Constant critical hits, every item is a rare candy or better, every bad random encounter is skipped etc. I wonder how far the RNG manipulation can go with a TAS
They are random rare candy in pokemon red/blue ?I only played pokemon later gens, it seems weird to me.
There are no random item drops in Pokemon, no.
Random is actually not very random in pretty much any application.
Like, numbers in number generators have been shown to have bias as well and that numbers can get chosen inconsistently.
RNG manip' abuses an underlying component of the game that's tracking your inputs which then effects how the game decides to use its RNG component.
There is not one for gen 1 but there is one for gens 2-4 on tasvideos, here is the gold/silver one which features a frankly astonishingly massive amount of RNG manip, from quick claw triggers to high power magnitudes to critical hits: tasvideos.org/564M.html
Then y don’t u do it before anyone else can?
This is so fascinating. I hope you keep up the videos!
I got my gameboy color when i was 3 years old for Christmas with Red version. I stopped playing that day because i couldnt get out of the house lol
I was literally going to sleep, screw that!
Elliot "Going to sleep" is not a figure of speech, so it doesn't make sense to use "literally" like that.

But to answer that
Woobin The Scrub We have to talk about parallel universes

I find these videos SO interesting. Fascinating even. Thanks for the AMAZING content. ❤
Just discovered this channel today and I cant stop binge watching. Great videos
Hold up, that's the SNES Top Gear racing game theme at 11:45!
So ur telling me no one ever tried just holding down the a button during the first text screen? Seriously? If I knew about the RNG manipulation I would of at least tried that strategy really early on.
The Legit Nintendo Gamer They weren’t allowed to reset the game for many years so manips were never figured out until recently
hot take: werster is a top 10 speed runner of any game of all time for being revolutionary
He's Person B
Very solid work! As a huge Pokémon fan it’s interesting to see the progression and optimization of these games. Would also love to see you either cover the remakes or the glitched runs
