Also love how the game loops back to the beginning with the Pokémon league being right next to viridian city. Another great bit of design on their part to mark the player’s growth. Just a shame they forgot that when they made ever grande city
Can't wait for the algorithm to boost this video, it deserves it!! Loved your GSC and HGSS videos, this one really hits home. I was 5 when Red and Blue hit the states. Thanks sir, your hard work and dedication is appreciated 💜
I appreciate it and I'm always glad to see people qho stuck around despite the variety. FRLG shouldn't be too far off (I said that for this one too, but fingers crossed) and LGPE is coming abour smoothly too :)
@@ntmaproductions can't wait, I think they're really gonna resonate with the poke-community. Love longform retrospectives like this, have a wonderful day!!
Mate. I know what it's like to constantly criticise yourself and your videos. But I ain't talking shit. I have just finished your G/S/C video and it was fantastic. Try to cut yourself a break because if you keep making quality content like this, even if you think it's crap, you will grow and garner an audience. I can't wait for more from you and now, I am gonna keep watching this video haha
Congratulations on the new video! Your variety and consistency of content is admirable. Hope to see you cover the rest of generations too. Keep up the good work!
Pokemon Red was my first Game, I remember the only way I could finish it was using the Missingno Cheat. Out of all 3 Pokemon Yellow was my favourite, I loved how it followed the Anime in it's own way and being able to get all 3 Starters. I remember the first time I played it didn't understand the friendship system with Pikachu and didn't get Bulbasaur until near the end of the game, so I restarted it and just over leveled Pikachu to defeat Brock and eventually getting Bulbasaur before challenging Misty, then putting Pikachu in the Box and constantly losing to Misty to level up Bulbasaur getting him to level 27 (I think) to learn Razor Leaf. I was such a good time!
My Pokemon Yellow cartridge battery just died last week. I'm pretty heartbroken about it because i got it from my cousin and it's always been one of my most prized possessions. Gotta get some tools to open this thing up so I can try and fix it
Feel like because of what the series became following these games (a giant multimedia machine) people don’t give red and blue the credit they deserve for being straight up JRPGS that were very ahead of their time. It’s mechanics were simple enough and intuitive for even kids to understand, it has a ton of party customization and options obviously, and most impressively to me the world is so open and interconnected. It’s quite streamlined in a lot of ways as well; random encounters are very easy to circumvent, free and easy healing in every town, can save anywhere on the map etc. For how much the lack of QOL makes returning to these games today rough, back when they came out they were actually less frustrating than a lot of its contemporaries. Even a lot of the flaws and “quirks” people today point out about the games can be attributed to them just following JRPG design and are wholly intentional, not some oversight. It’s not so weird onix has lower attack than of oddish when he’s supposed to just be the scary first boss that marks your growth when you encounter him later and he’s weak as shit. Dragonites line being the only dragon types raises eyebrows today but it’s supposed to be the penultimate challenge that shits on your starter, not be apart of a “balanced” type roster. Anyway another banger video man 👍
@@SenorPuffball Yeah it's definitely at or above the level of many RPGs of the era, especially given it was on the Gameboy, which hadn't even had a proper FF or DQ game. The scope alone makes it impressive, even more so that it's so intentionally made to be accessible to non-RPG fan audiences. It's an exceedingly well planned and thought out game if one held together by twigs and bubble gum
@@BasedGodEmperorTrump he sure does, I talk about that in my FRLG video ;) also notably Geodude and Onix are so physically defensive that you still usually do more damage with Ember, unless you get a lucky attack boost off of MC
In Red I got Zapdos/Articuno/Moltres way after everything else.😅 Gyarados got a lot of exp for being my primary catcher and getting accidental kills and I had to do the E4 a few times for the sake of getting balls. No hacking here, just a veey overworked sky snake 😅
Talking about Hypno- "Doesnt learn T bolt like every other psychic." Uhhhh what? Only Mr. Mime, Starmie, and Mewtwo can learn T bolt... so... (Mew also but unless you glitch you dont get them)

The way the Fisherman hold the rod in their hand made me think even to this day that he is holding a saw for some reason
I had Blue Version, so I went with Squirtle, I have defined my life by that simple fact.

I appreciate it! FRLG should be out this weekend or early next weekk if I get lazy :)
Am I the only person who appreciates the genius of this retrospective?
Congratulations on the new video! Your variety and consistency of content is admirable. Hope to see you cover the rest of generations too. Keep up the good work!
it means a lot thank you!
this series is like comfort food for my lonely ears
ORAS soon :)
The games that started it all.
After the glorious behemoths that were your Johto vids, I'm looking forward to this one. Really hoping you end up doing the other games!
FRLG and LGPE are in the works, but I'll need a break after that
Somehow this series of videos simultaneously makes me feel old as hell, and also like a kid again lol. Thanks for the great videos
Pokémon does that to people lol
this series needs more attention , just watched the gen 3 video and it was so well done
@@lsixty30 Thank you :D
Great video! Thanks for the content, always enjoyable to watch.
"Anyway Geodude's ass" lmao
Great video! I love that one and the johto videos! I love your works, I keep them as references for my playthroughs!
Thank you so much for this video !!

I just stumbled upon your Pokemon videos and they're so in depth and very well done. You deserve a lot more subscribers for your work. Well done dude.
It is finally here, after 10000 years ;-;
Love all the effort put into this series just binged them all. Happily earned a sub and looking forward to diving into the rest of your videos
Thanks goatman hope you're goatin well
Banger of a vid keep it up man :)

Love you guys. This review is amazing. Love you and your drunk reviews
thanks homie
Ah yes, ArticUNO, the SECOND of the legendary birds.
MOltres
Zapdos
ARTicuno
you're right- he's the third piece of the puzzle in deciphering the mozart conspiracy
Nidoran getting double kick also can run through brock, also fury attack on it is great starting off
Though this only works for Yellow
In Fire red and Leaf green, Charmander gets Metal Claw at level 13 to combat against Brock...

I love Magnemite too and Magneton
I miss the Pokemon images when talking about the Pokemon.
Editing and uploading this on hot spot because of some bad arrangements made downloading 150 images a uh, infeasibility unfortunately.
@@ntmaproductions understandable. It is still a good video.
1:24:31 😂😂😂 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
😭 brutal rendering error
Heck yeah
Did you item glitch rare candies to get your gyarados to lvl 100, then not save and use it normally the rest of the game?

Why th do these videos only have a few hundred views
Hopefully that will change soon! Thanks for the support!
I am doing my part!
Uhhh isn't the order RGBY...
Wait a second...RGB...Y
RGB...
Wtffffff
When I look at my Android why does it remind me of my Gameboy...
Wtfffffff
I like Pokemon
Kino tome
Pokemon
Talking about Hypno- "Doesnt learn T bolt like every other psychic." Uhhhh what? Only Mr. Mime, Starmie, and Mewtwo can learn T bolt... so...
(Mew also but unless you glitch you dont get them)
I was being a bit exaggerative, but what I meant was the Hypno largely lacks the tremendous coverage of its Psychic peers
What happened at 1:24:30?
a very strange rendering error. it wasn't an intentional joke or anything. sometimes if my cpu usage spikes there things happen
I see, I just assumed your roommate played a trick on ya or something
@@TastySnax12 nah i probably opened chrome to do something and chrome ate up my cpu for 5 seconds lmao
Get a new mic
This video is 2 years old
@@ntmaproductions then get an old mic? Idk what to tell you
Good point
