    • @brandonshort876
      @brandonshort876 5 років тому +590

      Jumittaja 06 critical hits were based off speed in gen 1. Because razor leaf has a high critical hit ratio, they combined to almost guarantee a critical hit. And I believe the actual ratio is 99.6%. Same for slash with Persian.

    • @tylerd4553
      @tylerd4553 5 років тому +472

      SilverX UmbreonX Basically the formula for crit% in these games is [Base Speed]/(64). Note that this applies for moves with a “high critical hit ratio” such as crabhammer, slash, and-you guessed it- Razor leaf. With the examples of moves above if a Pokémon’s base speed is over 64 they will always crit. Also note that this ignores leveling up/stat boosts because it is BASE speed.
      The early games were a wee bit broken

    (from the question at 2:07) Here's why Red's hat goes from red to blue when you start a battle: on the gameboy color, there's one palette for backgrounds (in this case, shades of blue) and one palette for sprites (in this case, shades of red). Because Red's hat passes over the opponent, it has to be rendered with sprites instead of background tiles, at least for the animation. When they settle down, they switch to rendering it with background tiles for whatever reason. Bear in mind that on the original gameboy this is seamless because it's all monochrome, and on the super gameboy you can only assign different palettes to different regions of the final screen, not to sprites as opposed to backgrounds.

    1:06:05 The reason you outspeed it here is because of the Badge Boost glitch.
    Each badge in Gen 1 boosts a different stat for your pokemon by 12.5% every time you send it out to battle. However, due to a glitch, it also does this EVERY time your stats are changed. You got a Special drop from Psychic, so it boosted your Speed.

    at 1:06:12 you outsped alakazam because it lowered one of your stats. let me explain: the badges give the players a 10% boost to specific stats (i think kogas badge is the badge for speed possibly). every time you get a stat drop the game counts the 10% boost again thanks to the incredible coding of gen 1 games. so at that point, because psychic lowered your spatk, you actually had 21% more speed.

      my first pokemon game was actually pokemon stadium and I couldn't read all that well back then. so a lot of it was just learning things through trial and error, and paying attention to type colors. and the length of the move names.
      it lead to moments like discovering that pokemon with the green symbol were strong against pokemon with the brownish one. so when attempting brock's gym, I'd grab the whole oddish family, and early stage bug pokemon. and then be confused why half of my team was underperforming.
      if memory serves me right, I got pretty far despite that.

      His content is too inconsistent. He plays a bit of everything but doesn't excel at anything. His commentary is decent but not everyone is interested in his random content. If you stick with him you do it for his personality not for his gameplay. Most people don't enjoy all this random content. His views are great and that is what matters. I've seen tech channels with over 500k subs having less views than this channel so his channel is quite popular so he's not underrated by any means. According to UA-cam analytics a video with just under ten minutes makes 1 USD per 1000 views for the type of content he makes. for an hour worth of video you get about 10 USD per 1000 views. So he made 500 USD from this one video. Subs mean nothing when it comes to income, views and adds is all that matters. So don't be baffled this guy makes a bucketload of money for his content so I think he isn't underrated by any means.

I read it was to do with a faulty/nodded emulator but I don't think so. This was from my experience so that's why I'm not sure this was the reason.

    To answer Ant's question, despite how late it is, in Erica's gym the Victribell used poison powder on your bellsprout every turn because the AI is programmed to use a "super effective" move whenever possible and it only looks at your pokemon's primary typing. Since Bellsprout is Grass first it used the poison move every turn without exception.

Plus after 6 def buffs on Geodude, Poison Sting would 'Miss' 100% of the time (unless it's a crit) because of a bug that happens when a move that would do 1 damage is double resisted, it will result in a miss.

    I just finished doing a run of this mod... Honestly, up until Misty it's pretty hard... But it gets SOOOOO much easier after that. I just caught a whole bunch of Bellsprouts on route 24 to beat Misty and a Dugtrio in Diglett Cave to beat Surge (My plan was to catch a whole bunch of Diglett, but I guess I just got lucky) and then a whole bunch of Doduo near the bike track west of Celadon and taught them fly to beat Erika, used both Snorlax's to defeat Koga... Then after Koga the game got way too easy. I flew to Cerulean to go to the Power Plant and caught Zapdos, then travelled to the Seaform Islands to catch Articuno and then the rest of the game was a breeze. I still caught Moltres, though. Only semi difficult part after getting the birds was Agatha, but still took care of her easily.

    That victreebell was constantly trying to poison powder your bellsprout because you're a grass type, weak to poison, and the trainer had "good" ai which makes it always use a super effective move if there's one to use. But of course, grass mon are immune to powder moves so it couldn't do anything. Theoretically with enough pp you could do it at level 1 in that case. Gotta love gen 1
