Year ago having your videos helped me get through crappy over night job where I was working 60+ hrs a week. Seeing this reminded of that and how your videos kept me sane
These cross gen runs are the reason I started watching your channel. I always get a chuckle out of tomstoner brother. You a real one keep up the excellent work.
Alolan Raichu is my favourite Pokemon, it doing well in gen 1 isn't a surprise at all. Also great work on the sprites, especially the back sprite is just top notch!
Real one here. Love the content. Super unique and I love how you don’t use the same strats every time, esp the boring curse/return strats in your crystal runs.
For sure. Gen 1 is whatever. I think rest/toxic are the worst but rest can have used. It propelled things like Ninetales to a near perfect run but yea, curse strats suck butt lmao. So boring.
Alolan Raichu is just like an improved version of Mewtwo, you have Thunderbolt / Nasty Plot at the very beginning. Also you have surf. Very impressive to see another cross gen solo, keep it up Matt!
I'd say with Nasty Plot does put it over anything Mewtwo could do. We'll have a Mewtwo redo video after the summer but I don't think it can touch 1h 52 minutes.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 Nasty Plot is just too dominating LOL, just like swords dance, but for special boosting with 700+ special, Alakazam's psychic is causing 8 points damage only in the champion's battle!
I'm not surprised this run was sub-2 hours with second place being very distant. Alolan Raichu had the holy trinity of STAB moves (best in their type, at that), coverage for STAB moves, and the best stat-boosting move in the entire game. Then you add on a speed stat that virtually guarantees you'll be going first (barring random Stun Spore or Body Slam paralysis), and you end up with a run exactly like this.
Your sprite for this fella is adorable! With the move pool it has I reckon this is going to wipe Kanto. Psychic type alone, but Nasty Plot Badge Boost and discharge. Dudes gonna own this game. Also Tombstoner brother! Hope you're keepin well 😅 It's low HP sprite is a true epic!
I can't take full credit. I go the artist's social listed in the description but the back sprite is generally all my work. I do love the low hp/faint sprites for all my runs. Most people don't notice but I think it's one of the more unique things about the runs.
Dang, I picked a good first video for putting newer Pokemon into Gen 1. I think. Maybe I'd seen another before. Either way, it's really cool to hear all the technical stuff that goes into these runs. Congrats on your fastest run yet! #realone
Appreciate that. Yea this one was busted for sure but that's part of the fun. Like which one will be able to completely break the game the most and this one is really high up there.
I wouldn't say it's an idea but it's just something I couldn't implement when I started doing this. I use the setting in the universal Pokemon randomizer for all my other runs but I'm glad everything is all on an even playing field now.
Keep up the awesome work! Totally agree with your decision to just go balls to the walls with learn set for cross-gen runs. Sometimes it's fun to just watch things melt through parts of the game!
Agree, especially with all the stream redos and what not being things like Cubone, Pikachu, Exeggcute, etc. We see all the styles on the channel from elite, to mid, to low tier. Gotta rank 'em all!
I do appreciate that but I hate the term backport. I've been doing them since 2021 and cross gen is the correct term, haha. I refuse to let someone bigger swoop in and name the genre.
Yea, it’s a testament to how much the slow leveling group holds stuff back. Also not learning new moves saves a surprising amount of time but I learned that during videos like Ninetales.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 I literally just bought sun the other day and I'm excited to try Raichu out now! Also not surprised Alolan Raichu did so well after seeing it was both psychic and electric in gen 1, the psychic typing the the best I feel for gen 1 in general and electric being good typing for the rival fights.
I used an Alolan Raichu in my playthrough of Sun; it was the only Pokemon I dropped from my team because it wasn't doing nearly enough damage compared to how often it fainted. I'm super surprised to see how well it did here!!! I guess a lot of factors add up: - Great starting moveset (including an amazing boosting option) - Incredible coverage - All of its moves are 100% accurate - Psychic type - That little stat buff over regular Raichu goes a long way
I used one in my playthrough as well, and used him all the way through. I had to keep him consistently overleveled compared to the rest of my team, because he WAS squishy. But he was a beast on my playthrough, putting in crazy work.
My second favorite video BROTHER. obviously raichu is my favorite video. I knew alolan would be good because of double stab and surf but forgot about nasty plot. As I knew the whole time, Raichu is the best Pokémon :)
Raichu has so much move type coverage and the most powerful type in the game with its Psychic type. Nasty Plot provides a massive boost to its special stat and badge boost topped with its high speed makes it a powerful sweeper. Never knew why they never gave it Levitate since its technically levitating.
I would say it would be too powerful but it definitely wasn't during the time it came out. This and Alolan Ninetales translated very well. The only two to beat Mewtwo!
Nice to see Raichu getting some love and doing well. Quick question about the instant text thing: wouldn't most of the other Pokemon save more time since they would have more text pop up overall by not being able to one shot as many things and having to extra training and so on? Anyway, you're the real one, keep up the good work.
Yea it’s covered in the unlisted video. A flat rate is a quick solution and it’ll be fixed. A non fasted text run is 91.023% modifier. It’s not a huge deal but I have corrected it but it won’t be reflected in videos. These how fast runs never need to grind so it worked decent but I want it to be precise
Considering how many regional forms and their evolutions like Marowak, Exeggutor, Ninetales, Obstagoon, Clodsire, Zoroark and so on are some of the most popular pokémon around, I'd say it's not a hill to die on to say that regional forms were a good idea.
#RealOne Even with the long intro and outro, Man this run was great to watch! I literally LOL'd when I saw the learnset and knew this run was gunna be great. I did think you were gunna try and make all the moves into a level up type learnset, but I'm glad you didnt to fully show off the power of alolan raichu. Keep up the great work matt!
I just keep the learnsets true to whatever gen I pick. I never alter them a whole bunch. The thought process is more like ‘this is an alolan Raichu with its gen 7 learnset. Let’s see how it does’.
What an absolute unit. Looking forward to my boy Alolan Sandslash's turn. It's not going to be this good, but starting with Blizzard, Sword Dance and Iron Head isn't too shabby in its own right.
I got bad news, Carl. I don't have A Slash plans because I couldn't fit the normal run in but I didn't know it started with those. I'll be happy to revisit regional variants depending on how the 5~ videos I'm going to release do though. I was a bit skittish after Diggersby/Obstagoon performance and I didn't want to keep bombing videos and hurt the channel.
Alolan Raichu is going to be really good because of its movepool and the ever OP psychic type. Edit: yep, can't say I'm shocked (pun intended). Lastly, real one
Appreciate that, brother. It's cool to see this one rise up so high. I also figured out instant text to make these equal to my other runs so it was a solid learning experience for me personally.
Another comment cause algorithm, thats why. Sub 2 hours, holy shit. I was wayyy off on my original prediction. I love alolan raichu. And cant wait for alolan exeggutor, ninetales, and the haxsarous run. I fuckin love these cross gen runs dude!
Yea I explain the calculations in the unlisted video but it means that Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Groudon have sub 2s too. I’ll have them erroneously listed higher because I took a lazy ‘flat time’ off their scores when that wasn’t accurate.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 I got the unlisted vid saved to my favorites to checkout a bit later. Still learning the disassembly myself to try and make a run like this.
Yea I just had a breakthrough on some code but I'm about to wrap up two more videos and call it quits until like August lmao. Patiently waiting on Parasect so I can not worry about it.
I have the video paused at one second. I'm making a prediction before I see movesets and everything. 2:25 final time. I'll comeback and edit my comment in 30. Edit #1. Starting with Psychic, TBolt AND Nasty Plot. Breezing through the Brock and Misty splits. Seeing it can learn Dog, Surge should be simple too. Edit #2. Didn't think that psychic would be the better play on surge. My brain defaulted to, "Dig. Ground move, super effective". Edit #3. Figured surf would be on the final moveset, but wasn't sure when.
Yea, there’s no point in wasting the slot on a physical move. Nasty Plot and the fact you resist Surge’s move meant anything physical wasn’t necessary. I think body slam could have been cut too but I reached my 3 run limit.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 I feel that lol. And yeah, pretty much no gym leader had an answer for Raichu or it's moveset. Brock was the closest battle due to being 6 levels lower
I see a cross-gen run, I click, watch, like, and comment out of General Principle. I will edit this Comment with thoughts on the run. Seeing the start movelist... Unholy Moly! Post-run: That start moveset is definitely what did it. It was only missing one move from its final moveset from the word "Go." A-Raichu is one the Real Ones... at least in Gen1!
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 you bring a high quality of content and you just do this as a hobby some of the poketubers I watch that do it as a job could learn a few things from you
i love the alola region, just wish they didn't sell the same game 4 different times and made the entire first island a massive tutorial, but besides that i think the stuff from gen 7 is really cool.
Why do Pidgeot and Exeggcute look so intense. Pidgeot looks ready to abduct prey, small children including. Exegg actually looks like a legitimate threat! 😱😱
These are so fantastic! I listen to so many of pokemon play throughs... but I watch yours brother! 🎉🎉🎉 hahhahaha i even modified this one for the... u know ..... a l gorilla thym
Yesssss Raichu!!! I love this!! ❤❤❤ One of my fave mons when I was little and stupid and didn't realize how bad he and Thunder was (I literally named him Thunder even lol).
Unpopular opinion: I like Raichu more than Pikachu, both in terms of design and attitude. I always wanted Raichu to have a final evolution form and was super disappointed when Pichu was introduced in gen 2. Great run!
Not even close...Raichu deserved a win after how Pikachu dominated it in popularity. Glad you found that coding thing(real 1). Edit: you make these videos look really good with the sprites and color changes it is much nicer to watch
Thanks, I like the gen 2 colors and we'll see it more later but next week we'll see Yellow pallet and likely I'll be favoring that for a while. I like the Yellow colors a lot. I've been testing it for some streams.
Real one! Raichu finally got some love in gen1! This run reminds me of Nidoking. So versatile! I’m gonna nitpick now, can you also display the exp progress in the rom? Gen2 style or on the side? Love the sprits and vivid colors!
The best I can do is represent it as a number via a formula. I'd personally rather see numbers than a bar. A bar is like 'it looks like I'm close' but if I know I'm 1,600 exp away from a level up on Rival #6, then I know exactly what that means. If someone cave me the code to represent a bar filling up, I'd look at it but it's outside of my wheelhouse to implement.
As soon as you started talking about “disassembly” of the memory I knew you were my guy. I’d like to get started doing stuff like this. Can you point me I. The right direction with websites or other sources?

I've been there and the videos that got me through it is why I decided to start trying these videos in the first place.
the psychic type should help immensely, i think raichu is going to do well. Edit: holy hell that starting moveset :O
Oh yea. I’ve been excited to share this one.
These cross gen runs are the reason I started watching your channel. I always get a chuckle out of tomstoner brother. You a real one keep up the excellent work.
Appreciate that, more to come! I'm pushing out a ton over the next monthish then I'll settle down into the usual routine.
Alolan Raichu is my favourite Pokemon, it doing well in gen 1 isn't a surprise at all. Also great work on the sprites, especially the back sprite is just top notch!
Thanks! The back is my work, credit for the front is in the description!
Excited to see more cross generation runs.
I hope everyone is!
Tombstoner brother and real one. Amazing time. Didnt expect that even with the psychic typing.
Yea, it did great but I think it's more of a testament to how awful the slow leveling group is.
Real one here. Love the content. Super unique and I love how you don’t use the same strats every time, esp the boring curse/return strats in your crystal runs.
For sure. Gen 1 is whatever. I think rest/toxic are the worst but rest can have used. It propelled things like Ninetales to a near perfect run but yea, curse strats suck butt lmao. So boring.
The beginning of the Alolan summer vacation xD. Can't wait see the vid
I love the crystal back ground trading card setup. It's so pretty. Really like Suicune
It's a solid base. I have some more improvements but they'll come in time.
Alolan Raichu is just like an improved version of Mewtwo, you have Thunderbolt / Nasty Plot at the very beginning. Also you have surf. Very impressive to see another cross gen solo, keep it up Matt!
There’s some high potential out there but this was one of the highest for sure.
Improved version of mewtwo? Nah but better than raichu for sure
I'd say with Nasty Plot does put it over anything Mewtwo could do. We'll have a Mewtwo redo video after the summer but I don't think it can touch 1h 52 minutes.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 Nasty Plot is just too dominating LOL,
just like swords dance, but for special boosting
with 700+ special, Alakazam's psychic is causing 8 points damage only in the champion's battle!
Well even without Nasty Plot, it wouldn't do much. It's resisted.
Love your videos Matt. Really impressed with you learning some assembly to pull this together!
More is on the way! I’ll usually learn some stuff, make a handful of videos from it, then learn some more.
Rly love you different way in Solo Runs with all those Cross Gen Challenges pretty refreshing
I agree. They will have a lot of competition in them just because I do really good ones.
I did not expect it to go above all the other previous crossgen runs! Truly impressive.
Yea it was a pretty monster run. Crazy that it's in like 7th place these days or something close to that.
Matt is back, and the Sunday is saved! Big ups for another cool cross-gen.
I got honestly too many coming up lol. I think out of 9 videos 7 are cross gen including Kyogre and this one.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 can't wait. Summer is saved ;)

Your sprite for this fella is adorable! With the move pool it has I reckon this is going to wipe Kanto. Psychic type alone, but Nasty Plot Badge Boost and discharge. Dudes gonna own this game.
Also Tombstoner brother! Hope you're keepin well

Can't wait to ride this wave when I get home!
It’s a banger.
Duuuude, the colors and sprites in this ROM are purely, simply 😍😍😍
I prefer the yellow colors and we’ll see that next week.
Real One! Also amazing run! Keep these epic runs coming!
I’ll do what I can!
Raichu really had a tough time til now. What a run gj.
It's found where it belongs lol.
I remember you hinting that it would be an impressive run in one of your live streams. What an outstanding performance.
There will be at least a few impressive ones before it's all said and done.
Thanks for this video im feeling anxious today and your videos are so relaxing ❤
Glad to help!
I think the instant text adjustment is a great idea. Love that Alolan Raichu showed out too
Real one
I wouldn't say it's an idea but it's just something I couldn't implement when I started doing this. I use the setting in the universal Pokemon randomizer for all my other runs but I'm glad everything is all on an even playing field now.
Keep up the awesome work! Totally agree with your decision to just go balls to the walls with learn set for cross-gen runs. Sometimes it's fun to just watch things melt through parts of the game!
Agree, especially with all the stream redos and what not being things like Cubone, Pikachu, Exeggcute, etc. We see all the styles on the channel from elite, to mid, to low tier. Gotta rank 'em all!
I fully agree regarding regional forms - I think its the best thing they did.
I'd say the physical/special split was the best but it's up there for sure.
I've always been a fan of your accent, but ot occurs to me now how much I enjoy how you say "poke E mon" like everybody's mom did in the 90s
Ha, I thought I said just like the anime songs. ‘Catch em catch em, gotta catch em all, Pokémon!’ If you can hear that in your head.
Not summer quite yet, this video was a good break from writing my Final Exam. Thanks GLM.
Nice. This video is guaranteed to get you a passing grade.
Great video concept! Hoping to see more backport runs like this in the future.
Love your accent btw
I do appreciate that but I hate the term backport. I've been doing them since 2021 and cross gen is the correct term, haha. I refuse to let someone bigger swoop in and name the genre.
Right on brother. Looking forward to more crossgen runs, then!
Got honestly too many coming up but summer seems like a good time for it.
Unexpected that this is the new number 1! Fun run for sure
Yea, it’s a testament to how much the slow leveling group holds stuff back. Also not learning new moves saves a surprising amount of time but I learned that during videos like Ninetales.
Really looking forward to thse Alolan runs. Keep rockin'
Go Eddy!
There’s about 5 in total so I’m ready to get these out.
Alolan Summer, BROTHER! This Raichu video was amazing, you real one!
Plans have changed slightly. I’ve inserted a few other videos into the summer so it won’t be exclusively 2 months but still a solid amount.
I never knew there was a regional variant of Raichu! Very interested to see how this goes. Keep up the great work bro!
Appreciate that. Yea, it's been a thing for 7 years, haha.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 I literally just bought sun the other day and I'm excited to try Raichu out now!
Also not surprised Alolan Raichu did so well after seeing it was both psychic and electric in gen 1, the psychic typing the the best I feel for gen 1 in general and electric being good typing for the rival fights.
Electric is great in red/blue. It has a single weakness and there's maybe 1 Pokemon that can hit you for super effective damage in the whole run!
You did a great job with the sprites. They look ultra Pro.
Thank Pat for the front lol.
What a great run! Alolan Raichu is definitely a real one!
Yea it was a really good run.
Great choice. One of my favorite of gen 7
Yea I like most of the regional gen 7 forms a lot.
Awesome run and THAT MOVESET omg
Yea it’s a monster moveset for sure.
I used an Alolan Raichu in my playthrough of Sun; it was the only Pokemon I dropped from my team because it wasn't doing nearly enough damage compared to how often it fainted. I'm super surprised to see how well it did here!!! I guess a lot of factors add up:
- Great starting moveset (including an amazing boosting option)
- Incredible coverage
- All of its moves are 100% accurate
- Psychic type
- That little stat buff over regular Raichu goes a long way
You are correct. It has the makings to translate very well. I used it in Sun and even in Let's Go but it's more balanced there for sure.
I used one in my playthrough as well, and used him all the way through. I had to keep him consistently overleveled compared to the rest of my team, because he WAS squishy. But he was a beast on my playthrough, putting in crazy work.
real one! i love the instant text rule btw that's a super cool find!
Yea I do it for all my other runs and found the print text delay file on the code and added some wizardry to it.
The "beaten-up" spite is marvelous. Too droll Brother!
Kudos on the back sprite as well. You made the neglected older-brother mouse look very cute and chonky.
Yea the hurt and faint sprite is my favorite part but you rarely fail optimized runs haha. I think Raichu found it's niche though!
I love your sprite work ❤️
Thanks. Front sprite credit is in the description.
My second favorite video BROTHER. obviously raichu is my favorite video. I knew alolan would be good because of double stab and surf but forgot about nasty plot.
As I knew the whole time, Raichu is the best Pokémon :)
Ha, the best for now at least.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 I don’t like the sound of that 😈. Smells like you got someone beating my raichu for number 1
I just play the Pokemon. I don't have any bias, the times are what they are.
This one was kind of fun but man is he overpowered here. Seems like you wrecked everyone except excutor at the end
Not every run can be Zubat or Cubone haha.
Loving the new Pokémon in red vids!
Thanks!
That art is soooo good
I haven’t Sad Car Lin in forever!
Lmao, replied when I woke up and missed some words. Heard from and Cat were meant to be in here.
Psychic types are dope in gen1, and so are special attackers. I'd be surprised if it doesn't do as well as Kadabra.
Nice back sprite btw!
Ha, forget Kadabra, this thing is going for Mewtwo.
Raichu has so much move type coverage and the most powerful type in the game with its Psychic type. Nasty Plot provides a massive boost to its special stat and badge boost topped with its high speed makes it a powerful sweeper. Never knew why they never gave it Levitate since its technically levitating.
I would say it would be too powerful but it definitely wasn't during the time it came out. This and Alolan Ninetales translated very well. The only two to beat Mewtwo!
Regional variants: Good idea, all over the place execution
I think they are all pretty great. Hisuian pokemon is where some are questionable to me.
Very curious to see how this one turns out! Keep it up, I love all your videos 🥰
No spoilers but it was a good one! Appreciate that.
Hot damn I'm impressed!
Yea it did really well. Excited to show some of the others.
Nice to see Raichu getting some love and doing well.
Quick question about the instant text thing: wouldn't most of the other Pokemon save more time since they would have more text pop up overall by not being able to one shot as many things and having to extra training and so on?
Anyway, you're the real one, keep up the good work.
Yea it’s covered in the unlisted video. A flat rate is a quick solution and it’ll be fixed. A non fasted text run is 91.023% modifier. It’s not a huge deal but I have corrected it but it won’t be reflected in videos. These how fast runs never need to grind so it worked decent but I want it to be precise

High special and speed, STAB psychic AND thunderbolt? Let’s see how we do!
It’s stacked for sure.

@@GymLeaderMatt1987 I got the unlisted vid saved to my favorites to checkout a bit later. Still learning the disassembly myself to try and make a run like this.
Yea I just had a breakthrough on some code but I'm about to wrap up two more videos and call it quits until like August lmao. Patiently waiting on Parasect so I can not worry about it.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 I feel that lol. Congrats again on getting married brother
Nasty plot before Machop on dig grunt to avoid sleep delay
One of the worst trainers in the game!
I have the video paused at one second. I'm making a prediction before I see movesets and everything. 2:25 final time. I'll comeback and edit my comment in 30.
Edit #1. Starting with Psychic, TBolt AND Nasty Plot. Breezing through the Brock and Misty splits. Seeing it can learn Dog, Surge should be simple too.
Edit #2. Didn't think that psychic would be the better play on surge. My brain defaulted to, "Dig. Ground move, super effective".
Edit #3. Figured surf would be on the final moveset, but wasn't sure when.
Yea, there’s no point in wasting the slot on a physical move. Nasty Plot and the fact you resist Surge’s move meant anything physical wasn’t necessary. I think body slam could have been cut too but I reached my 3 run limit.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 I feel that lol. And yeah, pretty much no gym leader had an answer for Raichu or it's moveset. Brock was the closest battle due to being 6 levels lower
Its the baby... my favorite Alolan Form.
It's one of my favorites as well. There's a few others I like more but it's great!
Hell yes love to see the alolan raichu shit on the competition. Great run, better sprite. Real one.
Yea! It's the poster boy for what these runs try to do.
Raichu just surfs by the competition, it was a real breeze 🤙🏻
One of the best there is!
I see a cross-gen run, I click, watch, like, and comment out of General Principle. I will edit this Comment with thoughts on the run.
Seeing the start movelist... Unholy Moly!
Post-run: That start moveset is definitely what did it. It was only missing one move from its final moveset from the word "Go." A-Raichu is one the Real Ones... at least in Gen1!
Yea! It dominated. A key aspect was that not having to skip level up moves or learn a bunch of TMs saved it a good chunk of time. Appreciate it!
Rewatching aloan Mon videos for summer 🫡
I redid this one on stream a bit ago!
This now is not a random comment. I’m a fan of your fun runs!! Watching as I’m cooking dinner.
Glad you like them! Appreciate that.
Raichu went crazy here
Took a few tries but yea it was impressive.
I love you and your videos. Thanks for these lovely cross gen runs!
Edit: Real one
Appreciate that! Doing what I can with what I got!
this thing will shred through kanto
It’s gonna be a casual stroll through the park.
Pre run prediction is gonna be around 2:35
Love it. Wonder how close you'll be?
Well I wasn't as off I was with obstagoon I was way worse excellent run
Also I don't usually engage this much but I love your content and believe you deserve as much reach as possible
I think you have to watch a few to start getting accurate guesses so it’ll come with time. I do appreciate the engagement though.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 you bring a high quality of content and you just do this as a hobby some of the poketubers I watch that do it as a job could learn a few things from you
i love the alola region, just wish they didn't sell the same game 4 different times and made the entire first island a massive tutorial, but besides that i think the stuff from gen 7 is really cool.
It has some of the best Pokemon for sure.
Why do Pidgeot and Exeggcute look so intense. Pidgeot looks ready to abduct prey, small children including. Exegg actually looks like a legitimate threat! 😱😱
Pokémon yellow sprites, brother.
Your graphics are so beautiful!
Thanks! About to get an upgrade soon!
These are so fantastic! I listen to so many of pokemon play throughs... but I watch yours brother! 🎉🎉🎉 hahhahaha i even modified this one for the... u know
..... a l gorilla thym
Nice. Not sure how much it helps because it’s a mystery but I appreciate it.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 💙 ❤️ 💜 I tried gahahaha bahahhahaa yasssss
Yesssss Raichu!!! I love this!! ❤❤❤ One of my fave mons when I was little and stupid and didn't realize how bad he and Thunder was (I literally named him Thunder even lol).
Also Alolan Raichu is too adorable! ❤❤❤
So glad this Alolan Raichu did so well.
Great name, bad move, lol. I was glad it did well too but I didn't expect it to do that well.
Real one, Brother
Tombstoner, Brother
Appreciate that, brother.
@@GymLeaderMatt1987 It's all good
Unpopular opinion: I like Raichu more than Pikachu, both in terms of design and attitude. I always wanted Raichu to have a final evolution form and was super disappointed when Pichu was introduced in gen 2.
Great run!
I’ve seen some people say it’s their favorite since I’ve done a couple of vids now but that’s definitely not gamefreak’s opinion haha.
Hurt Raichu has the Blaze ability from the look of it
Ha, all the hurt sprites do.
My fiance says Alolan Raichu is going to do "his best"!
His best is THE best.
Alolan raichu looks like a pikachu with wings for ears, has raichus belly, and based on surfing pikachu.
Raichu looks like a Pikachu but evolved, lol.
Not even close...Raichu deserved a win after how Pikachu dominated it in popularity. Glad you found that coding thing(real 1).
Edit: you make these videos look really good with the sprites and color changes it is much nicer to watch
Thanks, I like the gen 2 colors and we'll see it more later but next week we'll see Yellow pallet and likely I'll be favoring that for a while. I like the Yellow colors a lot. I've been testing it for some streams.
Alolan Raichu is my favorite Gen 7 Pokemon.
Its a cool one!
Real one! Raichu finally got some love in gen1! This run reminds me of Nidoking. So versatile! I’m gonna nitpick now, can you also display the exp progress in the rom? Gen2 style or on the side? Love the sprits and vivid colors!
The best I can do is represent it as a number via a formula. I'd personally rather see numbers than a bar. A bar is like 'it looks like I'm close' but if I know I'm 1,600 exp away from a level up on Rival #6, then I know exactly what that means.
If someone cave me the code to represent a bar filling up, I'd look at it but it's outside of my wheelhouse to implement.
Beefed up rat with the delicious pancakes👍 great run!
Yea it was a monster run for sure. It sets the bar high.
As soon as you started talking about “disassembly” of the memory I knew you were my guy. I’d like to get started doing stuff like this. Can you point me I. The right direction with websites or other sources?
The links are in the description!
Real one
Also TOMBSTONER BROTHER
Appreciate that, brother.
ALOLAN SUMMER LET'S GET IT
Got about 5 gen 7 runs lined up!
I would like to see mega evolutions in gen 1. They would be broken for sure.
I’ve thought about it and even had plans at one point but I’m not 100% sure how interesting it would be.
