>You can get the Master Ball with only 2 badges I think gen 1 Pokemon games tie with Mother 1 for the title of "best example of unintentionally open world retro game"
I have a no badges challenge for everyone.. Here's a hint, Brock through walls + Trainer Fly glitch. I have 0 badges, I'm in Pallet Town, got items, money, ALL Starters, I'm the OT as well (see the extended TF glitch using Ditto to get the Pokémon I want though Special Stat index..)
Urgh... I had the resolve to evolve my starter to Evolution 2 in Sinnoh before the Prof said i could keep it. He just said somethink like: Oh it already evolved, good for you. It was so worth it.
@@Xerophlume it actually does happen. When I was younger and messed with action replay he mentions an alternate text if the game doesn't recognise the base stage of the starter Pokémon prior evolution since it should be impossible to have more than that one Pokémon in the party.
You said self destruction was useless for this kind of challenge. It's actually great when leveling up a pokemon with no moves, because you can put out your Abra or whatever on a Dugtrio and then self destruct your graveler so Abra gets 100% of the 600 experience.
But was it useless? No. He was only thinking of how self destruct doesn't give the user experience, and not how self destruct was designed to help your teammates, by getting rid of a large threat at a weaker level AND the teammate gets all the experience. You're going to the Pokémon center a lot anyway because you'll be stuck taking 2 turns off Dugtrio damage during normal switch training, which could equal a Pokemon center visit if you aren't at end game levels, compared to 1 Dugtrio battle with self destruct. Would 1 self destruct fight + PC visit be faster than 2 switch training fights + PC visit?
What is faster tho? Getting 600 experience and then walking back to the pokemon center to do it again or switch training it normally and getting 300xp twice?
Lmao I found out when I was 8 I just liked exploring plus I was kinda stuck down there for a few days just killing everything by the electric gym I was level 60 I think but i didn't know what to do cus the electric thing confused me lmak
I'm up to 60 hours in ultra sun and I only just completed the volcano trial. I've caught almost every pokemon possible, just because I want a full pokedex.
As I’m currently attempting a livedex with Let’s Go, that was legitimately my first thought, because my danged Pidgey still isn’t fully evolved, and I’m 3 badges in (I only just got a switch as a gift - yes I had to wait an insane amount of months because my sister thought getting the game first was hilarious, and I couldn’t afford to buy a switch - so I haven’t been playing too long yet)
It would be ridiculous if blue really had 40 pokemon, iirc at that point there's only 42 obtainable pokemon Edit: Thinking about it he already has cut and may have gone through rock tunnel
@@deadbobomb6445 I always thought that, but I eventually realized It _is_ true to both Gary's and Blue's characters. I'd say Blue's a bit more stoic, but both are researchers at heart, even if Blue eventually becomes a gym leader instead of a researcher. It also depends on your view of -assface- Blue. Because he's constantly giving you tips and shit at the same time, I always assumed Red and Blue were vitriolic friends. I'm also weird tho
@@NachoCheeseDorito-Kun They got that Goku and Vegeta type friendship where one is obviously stronger but constantly gets shit from the other but deep down they care
If you use Pokemon red in the N64 with Pokemon stadium, you can use a stored fresh water/soda/lemonade from a previous run and put it in your game. This allows you to bypass the Saffron guards, and gives you access to the Celadon moon stone. But, this also let's you bypass Misty's gym altogether, and only needs you to get Brock's and Koga's badge to get everyone besides Moltres, Articuno, and Mewtwo. This doesn't conform to your "no using other games" rule however, but there's no other way I can think of
@@Earthboundmike There's no glitches in that scenario. Just using a second game. You can store items in Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon stadium 2 as a second PC storage system, and withdraw it from any compatible game (It doesn't need to be the original game it came from, like how the item from one file from Pokemon Blue has to be withdrawn from that save file specifically. It can be withdrawn from a pokemon Red or Yellow after deposited from Blue). The only glitch you'd possibly use would be the ditto glitch to get version exclusives and trade evolutions if you wanted
No, he had surf. Surf is in the Safari Zone, and he didn't catck Psyduck until AFTER. Psyduck was caught around 21:00 and he got HM03 surf around 19:30
Professor Oak actually does give you some Poké Balls, but only if you talk to him after winning that optional rival battle on Route 22 without adding any new Pokédex entries. You kinda missed out on some freebies there.
Damn, I'm playing those games since I was a kid, but I never knew that was even a thing until now. It's already easy to miss that rival fight, let alone going back another time.
Hey that’s me near the end of the video! I just beat my run of red like this about a month ago. Congrats dude I know how tedious it can be but I also found it a lot of fun. I was really excited to see this video pop up in my feed because the subreddit doesn’t have a lot of activity.
Hey dude! I was going to post this in the subreddit, but I didn't know if it was against the rules. I really want /r/professorOak to be really popular, so I'm glad that people are subbing to it!
Wait. I'm only like 5 minutes in, don't tell me he is going to level bulbasaur all the way to venasaur before fighting Brock!? Edit: He is/did what a mad man.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO, watched the whole thing. The editing on this video was AMAZING. Dude, the effort you put into this is impressive. Beyond the challenge I was mad impressed with how well this video was edited and narrated. Everything/10.
Ok, so here is what you did You caught a Caterpie and Weedle and also a Metapod and Kakuna, just so that you don't need to evolve caterpie and weedle. And then you train Caterpie and Weedle, because THEY ARE EASIER TO TRAIN. Yeah, I see.
@@mushroomz3310 Yeah I know, then why did he waste his 2 PokeBalls on catching Kakuna and Metapod, after just saying that he needs to save PokeBalls. XD
Professor Oak "Awe yes I need you to go catch all the Pokemon in the world and fill my Pokedex" Trainer "Hold my beer" Professor Oak "Your not old enough to drink"
So UA-cam recommended me this as i have been watching a lot of stuff like this lately, and jesus am i glad it did, i got mental health issues and am overwhelmed insanely easily, and your intro, jesus it was like a cosy blanket enveloped me, your voice is SOOO soft and soothing, instant love!
That's actually very close to what I'd do when I was a kid. I'd catch every available pokemon before each gym and level all of them up to a certain level cap (20 for brock, 25 for misty and so on), the grind was real.
I did something similar but for brock it was 15 because I didn't have patience. (I also do 25 for Misty 30 for Surge and so on lol.) The grind requires patience but basically by doing this your team could be nearly as weak as you want and still be able to over power Leaders through Levels alone lol
Weird, I thought Professor Oak's challenge was getting the 16 digits and date on the front and the 3 wacky digits on the back of some plastic card your mom owns.
So... uh... why didn't you teach more TMs? I know there aren't a lot of reusable ones, but TMs and especially HMs may have saved you a little trouble with some Pokemon.
@@Dysll I know that, but there were Pokemon he had that could have been made a lot easier if he used HMs or TMs. I even said it in my post "I know there aren't a lot of reusable ones" because you can buy some in Celadon.
I facepalmed really hard when you wasted precious early Pokéballs on Metapod and Kakuna when literally your next action has to be evolving them and you're using their base forms anyway so you don't have to switch.
@@vyor8837 Yellow is not the first games pokemon games that came out blue,red and green (japanese only) are. Yellow came out 2 years later after gameboy color came out which is why yellow has better game color as well as letting you get the three starter pokemon. that is why they are in black and white. It's a second stand-alone game and you could catch pikachu in the original 3 games before the first gym anyways.
I can't believe you poisoned that Abra banking on teleport failing. What a ballsy move. "Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!"
@@emperortgp2424 I know. That was stated in my comment. It's not exactly a guaranteed fail though meaning that risking a failure to make it easier to catch was gutsy.
@@emperortgp2424 In case you wanted to know more. Teleport in Gen 1 has a chance to fail based on the user's and opponent's levels. He hat a level 33 Venusaur against a level 8 Abra. That translates to roughly a 19% fail chance in that specific case. The range is generally between 12.5% and 25% with a higher chance to fail, if the opponent is of a higher level.
@@alolanexeggutor1010 He explicitly said he didn't level the Kakuna and Metapod though. He leveled the Weedle and Caterpie so they could retain their starting attack moves. Otherwise you have to level Kakuna and Metapod by switch training like a Magikarp.
I swear tfg that the minute he said "yeah im just gonna use the masterball" during the mewtwo fight, i got the sprint that that says "isnt it nice to keep thing simple?" Im dead
I would almost be tempted to try BUT I work so much and I like to be able to enjoy my free time, and this challenge would not be fun but stressful lol. Great video as ALWAYS (really goes without saying, so I don’t always say so lol).
I absolutely loved this video i always shy away for videos more than 15 minutes but you just did 82 hrs on my easy 200 plus back in 98 without no game sharks or guides. Awesome vid man.
> picks dome fossil I should’ve known someone as masochistic as yourself would be an agent of the Dome! It’s alright, Lord Helix has love for all trainers, even heathens like you. Memes aside, great video, I love seeing GenWun busted apart like this!
I have a challenge inspired by that feature in newer games that remind you the party you challenge every Gym Leader with: 1. You MUST catch the first Pokémon you find in every Route, if you defeat it, you have to catch one of the same species before doing anything else. 2. When your party is full, your newest catch must replace your oldest. Which means if I reach the place where I can get my 7th Pokémon, it replaces my starter, the next one must replace the 2nd Pokémon I got and so on and so forth. You get to try Pokémon at every place and each Gym Leader feels challenging, since you can't get attached to them too much, since some Pokémon might leave your party as soon as they arrive you'll tackle Gyms and battles head-on with minimal grinding. Stuff like Selfdestruct that I never used, suddenly became viable since that Pokémon will leave the party eventually.
The crazy thing is that I pretty much did something this in a video about a year back. I did a nuzlocke where I had to swap out Pokemon once I got to a full party, so every encounter was added to my party. It was actually really fun!
@@JohnstoneYT It's definitely Nuzlocke-inspired, but without perma-death. So that major battles become a game of "How little do I have to grind in order to win with my current team? ", almost like a puzzle.
Probably a lot harder of a challenge is one I called "the ace challenge". Rule 1) only allowed to have 6 Pokemon total (none in box unless fainted) Rule 2) if it faints, it's dead. Throw away. Rule 3) the first Pokemon on the route is what you have to catch if you decide to bypass the route and catch a 6th Pokemon if one faints (so instance, passing on kakuna in veridian forest means if you decide to go back, you HAVE to catch kakuna). And rule 4) special nickname for them so the fear of losing the Pokemon becomes even greater. (Also they are your family in the game, and all family members deserve a name) So basically, nuzlocke but only have a total of 6 at a time (no back ups in pc).
subbed to see u do this for every generation game. also a suggestion, i think it would be nice if you added images of the badges you've collected so far, maybe illuminating them once acquired. you could place it between the counter and game cover artwork, and it doesn't need to be big, just enough to keep in mind how many are completed so far. keep up the good work.
I would love to see someone do this in yellow where you can get a slightly fuller Pokédex due to the fact that you can get the 3 other starters. It would also have the advantage of not having to evolve your starter at all because it rejects the thunderstone
oh my god i paused @ 0:17 when he said "i was searching for various subreddits, using keywords like 'pokemon'" and 3 from the bottom of the second group... is a very interesting subreddit, to say the least
I'm only guessing that most people just never paid attention to when officer Jenny moves, and just assumed it was the badge that triggered the event, backed up by how the other guy doesn't let you leave until you beat Brock
21 years old and I spent 30 minutes watching this whole video instead of going out clubbing with my friends lol priorities, learned so much from this thanks Johnstone!
@@AncientED5 Gen 6 removed the exp change that gen 5 added. For some stupid reason, they brought it back in gen 7. I hope it goes away again, and never returns. Yes it is great when you are underleveled, but when trying to get to level 100 when you can't fight anything higher than level 60, it becomes a huge pain. The only way to really level at that point is to use as many buffs as you can, and fight the highest level of highest exp givers that you can. Not really good. You can end up only getting 1 or 2 exp from a battle.
This is the first time I've heard of this type of challenge. I find it entertaining to see and its great you are giving a shoutout to the reddit. I dont use reddit but this will bring more attention to it. I would personally not attempt this, but I would want to try a "catchable" version of this (basically skipping the grinding to evolve parts) and still make it interesting for myself.
Hey Johnstone I wanted to bring to your attention that you failed by making a slight error. By passing theough digletts cave, you can get to the Mr. Mime trade before gaining access to cut
@@xanimosityxgaming2664 he evolved mankey literally right before beating misty though Mr mime was obtained out of order however, meaning this video is a lie :P
Caught a random shiny Abra in Gen 2 on my GameBoy today. 😍😍😍 (Just dropping this here because I‘m soooo happy lol) Now I’m pumped for this video, your videos are always so great. 🥰💖
somewhere nice I‘m Alex, and because I usually get mistaken for a dude with that name, I put the female article „die“ in front of it (it’s german). 😂 Doesn’t translate too well I suppose.. 😅
My only real comment is that you should have evolved Nidorino and Nidorina before Jigglypuff and Clefairy as you caught them first... but I could just be grasping at straws here.
Surely you can use the trainers before brock/gym masters to level up pokemon faster and get some early cash? (doesn't get you the badge which is what the challenge states)
@@deadaccount1.57 Charmander = Hard Mode Squirtle = Medium Bulbasaur = Easy. It was even mentioned in the Manual (Trainers Guide) from this Game. It is based on the first two Gyms. Charmander has a disadvantage against Brock and Misty. Squirtle has one advantage and one is neutral. And Bulbasaur has two advantages.
This brings me full of nostalgia, back on 1999 when i started playing the American version, i could not understand a word of English so i tried to do all these crazy things you can imagine to try and progress in the game, this was one of them. Good times, good video.
Recently got back into pokemon and mainly only gen 1 because I was raised in that generation haha! This is epic and an immensely detailed video! Excellent work!
*Why didn't you teach TMs to the really annoying Pokemons* like watergun to Psyduck so you are not stuck with scratch for 20 levels? Rules seem to not prevent you from it...
You know how some people subconsciously avoid using potions or other disposables even at the very end of the game? I have a feeling it hasn’t to do with that
@@Abdega I know, but since he teaches Bubble Beam to Kabuto later iz makes no sense to not teach watergun or Mega punch early on to harder level up pokemen and Strength or Surf to mid-game Pokemon (around Koga's gym)
Taking on this challenge and I am still before first badge, got the nidos, raticate, butterfree, beedrill, and fearow all leveled. Have a level 21 Ivysaur and level 13 Pidgey. IGT is 19:55, but that's a little high because I wasn't always focused and am running at 2x speed on the emulator, so not exactly perfect translation of time, but pretty close. Probably around 15-16 hours. These last two really do suck, but at least after them there will be some semi decent grind spots. Really fun challenge glad you did this and got me into it
While I did quit that specific challenge, I have since completed POCs in Ruby, X, lge, and sapphire. I'm also partway through OR and gold, and backed out of a black poc, as that was awful😂

Shiny hunters : we are the most patient pokemon players
Johnstone : hold my exp share
John: Enters lavender town
Me: Ends life
First video in this series, great to watch!
That's actually very close to what I'd do when I was a kid. I'd catch every available pokemon before each gym and level all of them up to a certain level cap (20 for brock, 25 for misty and so on), the grind was real.
I did something similar but for brock it was 15 because I didn't have patience. (I also do 25 for Misty 30 for Surge and so on lol.) The grind requires patience but basically by doing this your team could be nearly as weak as you want and still be able to over power Leaders through Levels alone lol
I did that in Pearl....without evolving my Pokemon.
Weird, I thought Professor Oak's challenge was getting the 16 digits and date on the front and the 3 wacky digits on the back of some plastic card your mom owns.

I forgot that gen 1 Golbat sprite is absolutely nightmare fuel
It's horrific and goofy at the same time, I really don't know what to make of it
Yellow has the best sprites
Which is why I avoid playing red and blue. Awful sprites.
Only red and blue, red and green has a normal golbat
Mistake: You mentioned getting Mr. Mime after Misty - but you could have caught another Abra before Misty and traded for Mime.
Alex Watson he couldn’t get to the house without Cut
@@jp92hellraiser Yes he could. It's right at the exit of Diglett's Cave. You only need cut if you want to get there from Pewter City
j straight Yeah right you are bro my mistake!
He did say he forgot
So... uh... why didn't you teach more TMs? I know there aren't a lot of reusable ones, but TMs and especially HMs may have saved you a little trouble with some Pokemon.
I couldn't agree more, surf would have saved a tons of times with all the water pokemon with limited movepool. (Not at all looking at you psyduck)
I was wondering this too. Surprised this comment doesn't have more likes
and voltorb
Sometimes you have a brain fart and don’t think of that
@@Dysll I know that, but there were Pokemon he had that could have been made a lot easier if he used HMs or TMs. I even said it in my post "I know there aren't a lot of reusable ones" because you can buy some in Celadon.
I think you should have put unobtainable pokemon on the right side as you mentioned them to be easier to follow the totals
I facepalmed really hard when you wasted precious early Pokéballs on Metapod and Kakuna when literally your next action has to be evolving them and you're using their base forms anyway so you don't have to switch.
Also not using Pokemon yellow.
@@vyor8837 Yellow is not the first games pokemon games that came out blue,red and green (japanese only) are.
Yellow came out 2 years later after gameboy color came out which is why yellow has better game color as well as letting you get the three starter pokemon.
that is why they are in black and white.
It's a second stand-alone game and you could catch pikachu in the original 3 games before the first gym anyways.
@@basillah7650 it's a gen1 game and allows catching all 3 gen 1 starters
I can't believe you poisoned that Abra banking on teleport failing. What a ballsy move. "Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!"
Teleport fails in battle in gen 1
@@emperortgp2424 I know. That was stated in my comment. It's not exactly a guaranteed fail though meaning that risking a failure to make it easier to catch was gutsy.
Sorry, i thought it always failed
Emperor TGP nah, in battle, teleport allows Abra to run from battle, which makes catching it painful
@@emperortgp2424 In case you wanted to know more. Teleport in Gen 1 has a chance to fail based on the user's and opponent's levels. He hat a level 33 Venusaur against a level 8 Abra. That translates to roughly a 19% fail chance in that specific case. The range is generally between 12.5% and 25% with a higher chance to fail, if the opponent is of a higher level.
As a 9-10 year old I used to do this. But if also trade over from another game to get everything. I love that it's a challenge these days.
Early game:
I'm struggling with the amount of pokeballs... I captured kakkuna and Metapod separatedly from Caterpie and Weedle because whynot
I'm wondering if he battled Blue west of Veridian City for some extra dough.
Because Wynaut?
Because it's less leveling, ya magikarps.
Alolan Exeggutor
Barely.
@@alolanexeggutor1010 He explicitly said he didn't level the Kakuna and Metapod though. He leveled the Weedle and Caterpie so they could retain their starting attack moves. Otherwise you have to level Kakuna and Metapod by switch training like a Magikarp.
I remember attempting this a while back and gave up. I’m glad you were able to do this haha
I swear tfg that the minute he said "yeah im just gonna use the masterball" during the mewtwo fight, i got the sprint that that says "isnt it nice to keep thing simple?" Im dead
Fun fact, if you beat your rival on route 22 and immediately visit professor before going to viridian Forest, he will give you 5 pokeballs
For real?
For real, give it a shot
Yeah, pretty stupid how he did not know it since you can go back to starter town for healing up as well.
@@basillah7650 viridian has a pokecenter
That's only if you have less than 2 Pokémon in your dex. Evolve the starter or catch something before talking to him and you'll miss them.
I would almost be tempted to try BUT I work so much and I like to be able to enjoy my free time, and this challenge would not be fun but stressful lol. Great video as ALWAYS (really goes without saying, so I don’t always say so lol).
I absolutely loved this video i always shy away for videos more than 15 minutes but you just did 82 hrs on my easy 200 plus back in 98 without no game sharks or guides. Awesome vid man.
> picks dome fossil
I should’ve known someone as masochistic as yourself would be an agent of the Dome! It’s alright, Lord Helix has love for all trainers, even heathens like you.
Memes aside, great video, I love seeing GenWun busted apart like this!
remember when the tpp helix fossil meme was funny
yeah me neither
Death to the Dome and his false prophet! Praise Helix!
@@thesuperbowser2 Poor you.
I have a challenge inspired by that feature in newer games that remind you the party you challenge every Gym Leader with:
1. You MUST catch the first Pokémon you find in every Route, if you defeat it, you have to catch one of the same species before doing anything else.
2. When your party is full, your newest catch must replace your oldest. Which means if I reach the place where I can get my 7th Pokémon, it replaces my starter, the next one must replace the 2nd Pokémon I got and so on and so forth.
You get to try Pokémon at every place and each Gym Leader feels challenging, since you can't get attached to them too much, since some Pokémon might leave your party as soon as they arrive you'll tackle Gyms and battles head-on with minimal grinding. Stuff like Selfdestruct that I never used, suddenly became viable since that Pokémon will leave the party eventually.
The crazy thing is that I pretty much did something this in a video about a year back. I did a nuzlocke where I had to swap out Pokemon once I got to a full party, so every encounter was added to my party. It was actually really fun!
@@JohnstoneYT It's definitely Nuzlocke-inspired, but without perma-death. So that major battles become a game of "How little do I have to grind in order to win with my current team? ", almost like a puzzle.
Probably a lot harder of a challenge is one I called "the ace challenge".
Rule 1) only allowed to have 6 Pokemon total (none in box unless fainted)
Rule 2) if it faints, it's dead. Throw away.
Rule 3) the first Pokemon on the route is what you have to catch if you decide to bypass the route and catch a 6th Pokemon if one faints (so instance, passing on kakuna in veridian forest means if you decide to go back, you HAVE to catch kakuna).
And rule 4) special nickname for them so the fear of losing the Pokemon becomes even greater. (Also they are your family in the game, and all family members deserve a name)
So basically, nuzlocke but only have a total of 6 at a time (no back ups in pc).
Man, I always forget lickitung and Electebuzz were even in the first gen games, lol
That's how I am with slugma, always thought he was a gen 3 Pokemon for years till I went back and replayed gen 2
@@Reinreith yes, like Corsola and Skarmory
I didnt know how fun it is to watch Pokemon videos. Please keep em coming, I love it!
You truly have god-level patience. You deserve so much more attention than you get. AWESOME work!
Actually, FireRed & LeafGreen do allow access to Vermilion City after completing Bill's event, even without the Cascade Badge…
This isnt firered and leafgreen though
@@boca3565 Rewatch the video and then edit your comment.
subbed to see u do this for every generation game.
also a suggestion, i think it would be nice if you added images of the badges you've collected so far, maybe illuminating them once acquired. you could place it between the counter and game cover artwork, and it doesn't need to be big, just enough to keep in mind how many are completed so far. keep up the good work.
I would love to see someone do this in yellow where you can get a slightly fuller Pokédex due to the fact that you can get the 3 other starters. It would also have the advantage of not having to evolve your starter at all because it rejects the thunderstone
oh my god i paused @ 0:17 when he said "i was searching for various subreddits, using keywords like 'pokemon'" and 3 from the bottom of the second group... is a very interesting subreddit, to say the least
"$60? That's not even the cost of a single Pokeball. That's worth like one jiggle." Never gets old.
You only have to beat Misty to go South from Cerulean in Let's Go. FRLG are just as open as the originals.
I'm only guessing that most people just never paid attention to when officer Jenny moves, and just assumed it was the badge that triggered the event, backed up by how the other guy doesn't let you leave until you beat Brock
21 years old and I spent 30 minutes watching this whole video instead of going out clubbing with my friends lol priorities, learned so much from this thanks Johnstone!
"that's worth one jiggle..." is my favorite quote for this vid
I learned about a hidden Moon Stone 21 years after I started playing Pokemon. Great work.
I have to say, I'm genuinely impressed. I would have given up in about an hour. :)
This is impressive! I’ll note, though, that you could have used the Surf HM to speed up a LOT of levelling, especially for the water types.
Imagine doing this in BW/B2W2, or *shuders* SM/USUM. That exp loss for higher levels..
Rena Ami Akai I’m confident if you did USUM you’d max out the game time. There are something like 70 Pokemon before the first trial 😳
999:59...that’s hard to comprehend
@@cylasbreakdown6140 With how the exp works in gens 5 and 7, it can take a long time to level up, and having so many to level also adds to it.
@@AncientED5 Gen 6 removed the exp change that gen 5 added. For some stupid reason, they brought it back in gen 7. I hope it goes away again, and never returns. Yes it is great when you are underleveled, but when trying to get to level 100 when you can't fight anything higher than level 60, it becomes a huge pain. The only way to really level at that point is to use as many buffs as you can, and fight the highest level of highest exp givers that you can. Not really good. You can end up only getting 1 or 2 exp from a battle.
I suppose at least EXP share and exp from catching wild pokemon helps in Gen 6 and 7
0:50 now it have 11 311 members, you gave it so much pooooooweeeeeeeeeer!
The fact that you did this without any speed up amazes me but also makes me question if you really had nothing better to do.
You absolutely earned my like. This was INSANE!!!

Great video! Really interesting watching the challenge but I couldn't punish myself to do it, respect to you!
This is the first time I've heard of this type of challenge. I find it entertaining to see and its great you are giving a shoutout to the reddit. I dont use reddit but this will bring more attention to it.
I would personally not attempt this, but I would want to try a "catchable" version of this (basically skipping the grinding to evolve parts) and still make it interesting for myself.
Love the dedication John ❤️
Hey Johnstone
I wanted to bring to your attention that you failed by making a slight error. By passing theough digletts cave, you can get to the Mr. Mime trade before gaining access to cut
He also missed mankey iirc it's on route 5
@@xanimosityxgaming2664 he evolved mankey literally right before beating misty though
Mr mime was obtained out of order however, meaning this video is a lie :P
oof
"60p = 1 jiggle" made me lmao. Great vid.
I respect your grind plus you make it fun to watch.
This is a really interesting challenge that I had never heard of until now. I really enjoyed this video!

@@diealex4241 Ohh thanks for the clarification xD
My only real comment is that you should have evolved Nidorino and Nidorina before Jigglypuff and Clefairy as you caught them first... but I could just be grasping at straws here.
These videos are awesome... I don't have the patience to sit there for 17 hours grinding one Pokemon, so yeah you definitely get a thumbs up
Oh my god man you have a crazy amount of patience or insanity either way bravo!
Surely you can use the trainers before brock/gym masters to level up pokemon faster and get some early cash? (doesn't get you the badge which is what the challenge states)
Gabe Well, only his Diglett (much like what JRose11 did in his non-glitched Magikarp run).

With the old games your starter is basically the difficulty level

Charmander = Hard Mode
Squirtle = Medium
Bulbasaur = Easy.
It was even mentioned in the Manual (Trainers Guide) from this Game.
It is based on the first two Gyms. Charmander has a disadvantage against Brock and Misty. Squirtle has one advantage and one is neutral. And Bulbasaur has two advantages.
i'm here 2 years later and it's so cool to see how big and active the subreddit has gotten since this video blew up :))
This brings me full of nostalgia, back on 1999 when i started playing the American version, i could not understand a word of English so i tried to do all these crazy things you can imagine to try and progress in the game, this was one of them. Good times, good video.

Recently got back into pokemon and mainly only gen 1 because I was raised in that generation haha! This is epic and an immensely detailed video! Excellent work!
Really enjoying your content!! Keep it up :)
Why didn't you teach Psyduck surf for grinding? Why didn't you use the TMs for better moves?
*Why didn't you teach TMs to the really annoying Pokemons* like watergun to Psyduck so you are not stuck with scratch for 20 levels?
Rules seem to not prevent you from it...
You know how some people subconsciously avoid using potions or other disposables even at the very end of the game?
I have a feeling it hasn’t to do with that
Or, better yet, HM's. He already had access to surf and strength at that point.
@Eric Chauche
Excellent point
@@Abdega I know, but since he teaches Bubble Beam to Kabuto later iz makes no sense to not teach watergun or Mega punch early on to harder level up pokemen and Strength or Surf to mid-game Pokemon (around Koga's gym)
@Overlord Alfredo
You’re right, he probably forgot lol😂
Who else noticed he was in r/rule34 in the start of the video 😂??
He did say he was looking for pokemon subreddits 😏😏
Lol! The OG Golbat sprite though! 14:27
Taking on this challenge and I am still before first badge, got the nidos, raticate, butterfree, beedrill, and fearow all leveled. Have a level 21 Ivysaur and level 13 Pidgey. IGT is 19:55, but that's a little high because I wasn't always focused and am running at 2x speed on the emulator, so not exactly perfect translation of time, but pretty close. Probably around 15-16 hours. These last two really do suck, but at least after them there will be some semi decent grind spots. Really fun challenge glad you did this and got me into it
While I did quit that specific challenge, I have since completed POCs in Ruby, X, lge, and sapphire. I'm also partway through OR and gold, and backed out of a black poc, as that was awful😂
