    Playthrough Rules:
    1. Only my starter in battle
    2. No items in battle (except held items)
    3. No glitches or exploits*
    4. No Double-Team TM before level 100*
    Other rules:
    -- My Pokemon have perfect genetics to ensure fair comparison between species.
    -- *Pokeballs & Pokedolls are allowed in battle
    -- *The badge-boost glitch is not restricted at all
    -- *Skipping the Rocket Hideout & Marowak is allowed
    -- I play the game at 4x game speed (238 frames per second)
    -- My Pokemon has perfect DVs
    -- The Trash-Can-Puzzle is automatically solved so times are not affected by RNG
    -- The bike is allowed (the bike skip is not)
    -- Skipping the bike is not allowed
    -- Saving between league members is allowed
    -- If the solo Pokemon faints and I choose to blackout it counts towards my reset counter
    -- I can pause the game & timer to take breaks
    -- The footage is sped up / slowed down to match the pace of my narration
    *Double-Team:
    -- Almost every Pokemon can learn Double-Team through TM
    -- The TM can be purchased in Celadon
    -- Using it would centralize the meta
    -- Every Pokemon would use it to overcome tough battles at lower levels
    -- It raises evasion
    -- It triggers the badge boost
    -- Banning the TM allows Pokemon who learn it through level up to use it
    -- I believe evasion is part of Pokemon and shouldn't be banned entirely
    -- I don't want the videos to all be double-team spam though, that's not fun or entertaining
    -- Only two Pokemon learn Double-Team through level up: Pikachu & Scyther
    -- Minimize is the other evasion raising move, these Pokemon learn it through level up:
    -- Clefairy, Clefable, Grimer, Muk, Chansey, Staryu
    Yellow Version changes from Red/Blue:
    1. You cannot use Dig/Escape Ropes in Bill's House or the Pokefan Club
    2. You cannot talk to the trainers in Blaine's gym to battle them
    3. Surge, Sabrina, and Blaine do not have Good AI
    4. The Elite Four have better movesets
    5. Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, and Giovanni have higher level teams
    6. Blaine doesn't use Super Potions are full HP
    7. The rival picks his eeveelution based on the outcome of the first two battles.
    -- Lose in the lab: Vaporeon
    -- Win in the lab and skip route 22: Flareon*
    -- Win in both locations: Jolteon
    -- *You cannot lose on route 22 because you blackout
    Terms:
    -- STAB
    -- Same-Type-Attack-Bonus - a 1.5x damage multiplier
    -- Stat Experience
    -- The Gen1&2 equivalent of effort values. You can invest in all stats until they max
    out at 65535
    -- DVs or Determinate Values
    -- The Gen1&2 equivalent of IVs (individual values), these range from 0-15
    Resources:
    -- Gen 1 Stat Calculator: pycosites.com/pkmn/stat_gen1.php
    -- All Trainer Pokemon have IVs (DVs) of 89888 (hp, atk, def, spd, spc)
    -- All Trainer Pokemon have EVs of 0
    -- Gen 1 Crit Rates: www.smogon.com/rb/articles/cr...
    -- Crit rate is determined by dividing base speed by 512
    -- High crit rate moves determine their rate by dividing base speed by 64
    -- All crits have a 1/256 to fail, even if the rate is 100%
    -- Crits don't multiple damage by 2, it's a formula based on level

    The funny thing about Golbat being only slightly better than Meowth is, in competitive RBY battling, specifically using an alternative tiering system from Pokemon Perfect as opposed to Smogon, Golbat finds itself a solid threat in the "7U" tier (basically the lowest possible competitive tier), in which Meowth is apparently actually the tier's biggest threat. So yeah, I guess the two are about equally matched in more ways than one.

    Golbat needed a little bit of help post-Gen 1, but there's a reason it's a member of the "Underrated Common Pokemon that We All Thought Sucked as Kids" Trio of Raticate, Tentacruel, and Golbat itself.
    It's typing is insanely good defensively and it's movepool gets really ridiculous as time goes on. And because Zubat and Golbat are pretty easy to train, you get yourself a top tier playthrough support champion that can do a million different things for you and your team. Golbat is the defacto defense archetype of that aforementioned trio and I've had an appreciation for it ever since I started using it in my playthroughs as an adult. Golbat goes to show the kind of advantages a Pokemon can have during a playthrough as opposed to competitively.
    And don't just take my word for it. Watch any Nuzlocke video and you will see just how valuable this thing is in almost every run I've seen online PERIOD. Bless up Golbat, you're really a badass and worthy Pokemon and I'm not surprised it did this well in your challenge.

    Whoa that's pretty surprising! 75 Special being surprisingly good. Plus having Hyper Beam I think ended up being a really huge help for it.

      It’s not so much the ice weakness, it’s not being able to one hit the Pokémon that can freeze. Damage ranges against the Cloysters, Jynx, Lapras, Hitmonchan (yes the hiker’s Hitmonchan can freeze you), Dragonair 2, And Dragonite. If all these Lance’s Dragonair is the worst because so many Pokémon need to Mimic ice beam off of it which exposes them to a potential freeze.

      Just look at my old videos. I was all over the place. The only way I actually get stuff done is my ultimate rule is "I release once a week... no matter what." I force myself to move fast enough and just get it done, even if it isn't perfect, and sometimes, even if I don't think it's good.

    If Golbat could learn Body Slam, I just imagine it glomps onto the opponent with their mouth. Not really biting but just wrapping their mouth around the other Pokemon. It would still be super weird though.

    Wow, that was amazing! I'd never thought that golbat will do a no resets run. I mean, golbat in gen 1😊,that means that you're an amazing player! Well done!
    That 2 minutes at the game corner has saved you a lot of resets, at the end😁, so thanks for doing this to make golbat an A tier pokemon. 😀
    I know that this menu can very very tedious, that one of the mechanics that I hate about gen 1. So i can only imagine how long it took, and how fast did you want to get thorough that. 😁So I really appreciate that!
    Besides, thanks for uploading twice this week, you're incredible! 👏👏👏Keep up the good work!

    As a fan of the Zubat line, I'm hoping to see Golbat achieve justice for Zubat and perform much better here. My expectation/hope is we'll be seeing Gen 1 Golbat's uniquely high Special stat get some usage in this playthrough. Mega Drain on it is a great counter to it's Rock weakness and a lovely recovery option.
    4:14 - Supersonic is a confusion move that has been overbalanced whilst Confuse Ray is a confusion move that has no balance at all. The difference is stark and broken.
    9:07 - I was going to joke that the Nidoran was out for revenge because you've yet to do a Nidoran video... except I then remembered that you have made one of those. I guess Nidoran just doesn't like Golbat... although it was technically Pidgey who caused you all the problems... and you haven't done a Pidgey solo run yet.
    12:28 - I'm betting Nosferatu is envying it's pre-evolution's lack of eyes. All that sand in his beady eyes must be painful.
    14:03 - To be fair, it also looks the artist combined a little element from the Lass trainer into the Rapping Lass design given the skirt is different to the other 14:40 Jr Trainer art that has been made.
    24:14 - Convinced to train... or to buy a pair of go--goggles for your Pokémon.
    28:55 - Blaine here looks like he is shouting at you because you forgot about him.
    34:10 - So happy to see Mega Drain being used. It's a unique trait of Gen 1 Golbat that I sadly missed out on my last Pokémon Yellow playthrough due to my interactive audience voting to teach Weepinbell Mega Drain over Golbat.
    55:02 - Poor Paras and Hitmonchan got dropped down that tier list hard. Glad to see Golbat placed well though. Turns out using it's giant gaping mouth to fire out laser beams is a useful tactic!

    Golbat is one of those mons that really surprise me whenever I decide to use it. Like, yeah, training it at the start of the game as Zubat makes it rather painful, because it doesn't learn good moves (though I guess in Gen1, that doesn't apply) but after that, it's surprisingly decent. In Gen1, Confuse Ray + Screech are kind of neat, plus Mega Drain deals with Rock. Then in Gen2 (where I used it the most) it usually ends up being a really nice flinch mon with Headbutt, Bite and Confuse Ray. Toxic also helps. Good budget mon for sure.
    That freeze sucked hard though. Regardless, a great showing!

    5:57 with the exception of that first attempt, the battle was easy-peasy!
    8:21 Who knew this unassuming Nugget Bridge Lass would be such a boss?
    10:11 I'm a bit surprised that Golbat managed to streamroll Misty.
    14:02 Oh crap, I never noticed that until you pointed it out. I mean, I did notice that the artwork wasn't a Lass, but still. (Besides, Wrapping Lass sounds better) XD
    14:40 Maybe the Status Condition Jr. Trainer is secretly a Lass in disguise.
    23:28 Congrats on just barely defeating the Tamer! I almost thought you weren't gonna make it.
    26:36 Wow, talk about cutting it close there.
    32:18 That was super clutch against Arcanine!
    52:25 Who would've thought that Golbat could pull off the legendary--OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!
    I can't believe you almost made it to zero resets! Of course Lance had to stop you in your tracks... Still, Golbat's run was quite impressive, especially when compared to Zubat. Congrats!
