Deadlines plus the devs operated under the assumption that Pokemon was a bit of a fad that wouldn't have much staying power, so they weren't worried too much about balancing the new 'mons like the first batch
Honestly, I think Pokémon Red’s development is extremely impressive. They chose the piece of shit GameBoy (I love it to death, and played Pokémon Red on it for hundreds of hours, but it’s not exactly the best console) and created a massive world with 151 Pokémon, tons of NPCs, all of the battle mechanics (some were flawed, to say the least), programming what moves each Pokémon learn, their stats, programming evolutions, and every move animation, etc. They did all that on a game smaller than a PNG picture on Bulbapedia. People like to shit on the game for its seemingly endless flaws, but I find it extremely impressive for a development team that probably didn’t even know how to make it at first. What’s more impressive is how much Gen 2 improved on Gen 1. Basically every bug and glitch was fixed, they added 2 new types, 100 more Pokémon, a whole new region, the region from the PREVIOUS game, etc. The GameBoy games are probably very outdated now but I really feel like they’re the most authentic games in the series.
@@aappaapp6627 Yeah, the second part is extremely apparent. Gen 2 Pokémon that aren’t connected to Gen 1 are mostly FUCKING AWFUL. They’re either unfinished, like Sneasel, Yanma, or Gligar, are just pure shit, like Sunflora, or are just outclassed by Kanto Pokémon, like Mantine. It’s probably easier to beat the game with all Kanto Pokémon and no Johto starter than it is to beat it with only Johto Pokémon (no Kanto-related Pokémon).
When I joined the stream and you named the rattata after my twitch username, I was kinda sad that I'll probably just be a box mon. So glad to see the raticate contribute a lot on this run
I loved that you actually showed all the boss fights instead of only telling how you beat the pokemons and not showing them at all. I understand it may be more arduous to make well edited bigger videos, but since I like how you play It's good to see the extra effort! Thanks man
Great video dude, I usually struggle to watch these kinda videos sometimes, but I started watching and before I knew it I was 20 minutes in, great stuff. 🤙🏻
Can it be played on ds? What is the best game? Looking for a Soul Silver where pokemon follow you. If with a gba rom hack on aliexpress thing does it show 1 screen or 2? Is it full screen if 1 or just like original just cropped?
I beat a nuzlocke run of this game literally Yesterday, happily found out that a swords dance gallade can sweep gym 5, 6 and 7, and both bruno and Karen on the E4
this was dope to see, thanks for the upload. This is a game I wanted to try but heard it was glitchy, did you encounter many while playing? Also, if possible could you upload docs into the description for the game you played since your twitch has it on the game you're currently playing 😅. Keep up the good content
"They had a whole lair down there. With like traps and shit. Also, these traps kinda suck. Who are these traps supposed to stop? the police? the champion? They couldnt hold up my character and I'm 10" TO BE FAIR, THIS 10 YEAR OLD IS BEING PUPPETERED BY A LITERAL OMNIPOTENT BEING!!! (at least in the context of the game)
Spent 30 minutes fighting a random burglar in the underground with a magcargo...it had amnesia,recover and ancient power...my Gyarados couldnt even kill it...I just closed the game after raging a bit

@@halilacikgoz7865 you typically play these games on emulators, I havent heard much of playing on original devices. That being said, all youtubers always play only legitimate games on legitimate devices such that nintendo would be happy with them.
i watch a lot of pokemon content, and i make my own content for league of legends - i often take inspiration from pokemon creators and you did a great job at storytelling, and pacing considering this gameplay is from your stream. well done cheers
@@Whacko2it's probably a bug regarding shiny Pokemon,i never found a shiny Pokemon in this game even after putting 50+hours and i think that missingno is basically a bugged shiny Pokemon
hey man! new here just subbed, I was wondering how you evolved magneton in de video since I am doing a playthrough rn and I don't see where I can get a thunderstone? Or does it work with a covenant orb as well? anyways awesome vid man!
“Every run is THE run…right boys?” He’s speaking the language of the Gods
Believing is 90% of the battle
sometimes i wonder what the logic was in giving the cyndaquil and charmander lines identical base stats
"HURRY UP THE GAME IS SHIPPING IN LIKE A FEW MONTHS JUST COPY THE STATS HURRY UP WE DONT HAVE MUCH TIME JUST GO GO GO!"
They should’ve made Typhlosion more bulky and less fast, or a more mixed attacker at the very least

Editorman is nice w the tracks
Love the twist of using your first six to beat the game. Great game as always

Next do a romhack on the HARDEST Emerald Romhack: Elite Redux!
I dont think I've heard of this one!
I’ve tried this and swear it’s impossible to HC Nuzlocke
you just became my favorite nuzlocker. the ball knowledge is a pleasant surprise. keep doing what you do
editorman is actually goated
One and fuckin done baby. All the legend that is Whacko needs to bury this game. GG

Good job winning with the first six
Thank u thank u they deserved the dub
As a thunder fan, I am LIVING for the KD slander

Congrats on doing this in your first run
JIMMY BUCKETS
Great shout on Jolteon!
Whacko2 you are the goat
no stephin u are the goat
If I'm not mistaken, your spiritomb could of lived because ghost types can't be trapped.
I wish! Traps ghost types until Gen 5 i think!
@@Whacko2 ah, its Gen 6 when that got introduced.
Spent 30 minutes fighting a random burglar in the underground with a magcargo...it had amnesia,recover and ancient power...my Gyarados couldnt even kill it...I just closed the game after raging a bit
I loved the rage section on jasmine
LMAO I hate losing mons man it makes me SO mad
Yes Whackgoat this is heat
GRINTOUL
Nuzlockes + KD ring hunting slander is my exact niche-- thank you
Insane video as always
i still dont understand why whacko only has 22k subs
Appreciate u bein one of em >:)
Starmie showing what a toptier Gen 1 Pokemon it is :3
DUDE Starmie is SO FAST and those Ice Beams can HIT
Love the Skullgirls music 🤘
Love you Whacko

Pryce is a funny one, cause Lucario oneshots the ENTIRE* team with close combat….. (except froslass, but you can 5v1 a snow cloak frosslass, no?)

What is missingno like in this romhack? does it have a type/stats/movepool?
I super wish I knew! It wiggled too, so it has to be catchable!!
@@Whacko2 has the rom devs talked about any consistent set up methods to encounter it? I didn’t even know gen 4 had missingno
@@Whacko2it's probably a bug regarding shiny Pokemon,i never found a shiny Pokemon in this game even after putting 50+hours and i think that missingno is basically a bugged shiny Pokemon
So many fighting game music, my heart is blessed!
Wait, are ghost types not immune to shadow tag in this version..?
r u gonna play the updated version of it?
Whenever Drayano puts it out, I'll be one of the first to get on it!
Couldn't Spiritomb still switch out from Wobbuffet since it's a ghost type?
I WISH i was waiting for someone to say this!! Generation 4 shadow tag held Ghosts in!!! I was so sad!!
Love this game.
its a KILLER
Am I the mvp of this run or what? (Also how is a spiritomb named darkrai confusing at all 🗣️)
Ur so real
i would never hurt ur feelings
Where can I find documentation for this game?
I’m late but great video 🤙🏼
What was the song you used for the e4 fight
hey man! new here just subbed, I was wondering how you evolved magneton in de video since I am doing a playthrough rn and I don't see where I can get a thunderstone? Or does it work with a covenant orb as well? anyways awesome vid man!
There's an orb you get on like, Route 46 or something? it's west of Mahogany!
The way you pronounce the Pokemon names pisses me off but you are one of the more entertaining nuzlockers so I can't leave
Your reactions to losing kingdra and magnezone was on hella cope
Wow you’re like a more handsome Cole sprouse
1:37 just hatch them in places that don’t have pokemon or pokemon that appear in multiple places
I know you didnt diss totodile
whacko2 is cool.
no u
Any chance this rom hack will ever get gen 9 mons ?
Anti kicking kitten... But what about the puppies, you're anti kicking puppies too right... Right
