This was a REALLY interesting run, and I learnt a lot while watching this, and that's rare. Being such a big pokemon addict it's VERY rare for me to learn anything I don't already know about. For example I didn't know that NPC's had a 1/4 chance of not lowering your stats.
It was the same for me. Also, when I played gen I, I was confused at how secondary types worked since cloyster seemed to resist fire. I finally understand it does not.
It's always cool to watch your AGDQ runs, especially because of your commentary. I prefer last year's run, despite it being considerably longer than your other runs. I think it's closer to the amount of time you deserve at AGDQ.
This was actually the run that got me into watching speedruns. I myself don't speedrun (at least yet), but I think this is the best run I've seen thus far (not in terms of execution/time but in general, the commentary is 10/10 )
The only thing I never get when watching these AGDQ runs is whenever a person donates a considerable amount, let's say more than $100, most of the time barely anyone in the room actuallly applaudes or congratulates/thanks them. I mean, they are doing a great work at helping out and nothing in return? Kind of off to me ..
+therealrictuar I can understand if its technical and you get lost, but just because something does not benefit you as the money goes to a good cause and you don't clap because you only care about what happens to you? Okay, each to their own on what they clap about, but to me it's like "etiquette" or just common sense to be nice or show you think it was a nice gesture if someone helps out and I don't.
This man. God damn it I am impressed. Pannenkoek and Werster act as living evidence that we NEED a Hall of Fame for folks like this. I literally got chills watching this.
***** No cosplay, strict rules on who gets to be on couch when, and I think there was even one against plushies but Bertin snuck in Sanae somehow. There was also an emphasis on reading more sad donations and constantly reminding people on sponsors because Uyama needs his cash.

The male JR. TRAINER on route 6 says "I didn't start it!" for those of you wondering where the comment on the second missingno encounter comes from. I have no clue why
So... The arbitrary change in tile determination... that's what makes the Old Man glitch possible. In the original Japanese those were determined by the 'land' side of the map, but when they localized it became the 'ocean' side, but there was no encounter data programmed into there (since it was a town/land tile) so the game pulls from the last known location. I'm far too amazed by this.
Basically the game allots 20 "spaces", if you will, that could hold item data in memory. From his explanation, there seems to be an internal count of how many spaces are being used (= how many items you have) currently. He tricks the game into thinking there are -1 items in the inventory. The game interprets the abnormal "-1" as "255", so when the item screen is opened, the game shows 255 "spaces" worth of info. The 235 spaces after the aforementioned 20 are non-item sections of memory being forced to read as items. Just so happened that the item he tossed corresponds to the map ID that going through a door will lead to. I hope my explanation is clear.
this is "inventory underflow", tricking the game into thinking you have 255 items. items are stored as (item type) (count) (item type) (count)... in memory. usually this is limited to 40 places in memory, since there are 20 item slots, however, scrolling past this with inventory underflow essentially makes the game consider unrelated parts of memory as items, including your location. so tossing/gaining items in the "slot" corresponding to an item past the 20th slot can change parts of memory past item data, resulting in things like location changing.
Somehow I was able to mess around with this glitch, and the guy you teleport infront of disappeared, and then I started to walk slowly and I can't encounter trainer battles, or even talk to them. When I open the menu I get a 0 ERROR. message. I wonder how much the game could be broken heh
Hmm...and I assume switching the 8x8 tile that determines the behavior of a 16x16 tile in the American versions is what causes the edges of Cinnabar(?) to be treated as water?
7:55 eurgh. I've ALWAYS gone all the way around to geto90 that hidden potion without thinking. Fucking habits... Then again I'm a normie and I never speedrun.
I'm looking for a text walkthrough of this run. Most of it is basic but the menu switching is tough to get the #s down correctly. Also I saw someone name rival Z then a space and it had an easier looking item hex menu
Werster? More like Webster. I am a huge Pokemon fan and I didn't know that status moves failed 1/4th of the time when used by the AI, that tiles with flowers on the bottom right in Viridian Forest don't trigger encounters, and all those numbers that correspond to shakes.
Are you sure it was on the tiles with no encounters? there is a map here: wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red/Blue/Viridian_Forest_Movement I used to run this category casually (~40 attempts) and never got an encounter on those tiles, and i have the european version too.
Well, I have an original spanish cartridge from 15 years ago, and I can tell you for sure. I moved through that tiles, and I got encounters as usual. And considering they also patched the missingno glitch, it's no surprise.
There is basically no difference between save corruption and no save corruption -.- Don't know why this would even be a different category... And I don't know if you can do that trick where you walk out of your house and win in blue-red, but if you've see it once you've seen it all... It's basically the same method but taking different steps.
Not really, he got play time and that is a big thing. Before everything was accepted and declined, there was over 600 hours of speedruns on the table. So him getting a run is already special enough. Even if it was juts 5 minutes. Compared to over the hundred speed runners that did not get a run.
One question that i've always had with this run is when you do the fighting dojo fight, why does every runner make the dojo guy come forward rather than talking to him directly?
notChinmay when in the trainerfly state you can interact with over world sprites. You have to let the trainer walk toward you to encounter the battle. Listen to the video next time.
well, not really. You can't use glitches that don't exist. So you have to play according to the "rules" of the game. But as it is the first generation of pokemon you will find more glitches than you could ever use in a single run xD I understand why many people don't like glitched runs. But the category is justified in that it is fun to search for those glitches and for how they can help you to finish the game faster. So it's less about actual running but more about planning the run.
People in the back seem to have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE about what you're talking about. They're like "okay, this guy is talking nonsense about how the game is programmed while doing weird shit instead of training his pokemon". But then they get amazed when you enter the hall of fame :D
"Mort en poules" means "died in pools" in French which refers to losing in pools in a tournament, mostly fighting game tournaments and in extension being a bad player :)

Nobody does commentary like you werster. Shenanigans does good but you're the best. Hopefully GDQ lifts your ban
Why did he get banned?
I don't think even Werster knows.
***** according to Werster he did.
+B2Roland fairly confident he was joking
GDQ are a bunch of triggered snowflakes, wouldn't be surprised if it was something even more innocuous than reading a donation with the N word

Finally an official upload! Thank you so much for this :)
Such a legit fun thing to watch. Good run Werster! We only have to wait 1 year until next run at a GDQ! :)
You can always watch Summer Games Done Quick, which is this June/July, I think.
***** Lol ye I know that.. But I also know that Werster never attends SGDQ, that is why I say a year.
Incredibly informative and great fun. Thanks for the video.
This was actually the run that got me into watching speedruns. I myself don't speedrun (at least yet), but I think this is the best run I've seen thus far (not in terms of execution/time but in general, the commentary is 10/10 )
do u speedrun now
@@fishaxe23 I wouldn't exactly call myself any good and it's very casual but I "run" some newer pokemon games sometimes.
that werster speedrun explanation felt like a college physics class lmao
Always love watching you at AGDQ. re watching because it is a very entertaining run.
Werster's commentary was quite pleasant.
The only thing I never get when watching these AGDQ runs is whenever a person donates a considerable amount, let's say more than $100, most of the time barely anyone in the room actuallly applaudes or congratulates/thanks them. I mean, they are doing a great work at helping out and nothing in return? Kind of off to me ..
faxik "someone donated $750!!" whole room stays quiet and everyone has a blank expression lmao
faxik It's changed over the past couple of years. Maybe people simply expecting those large donations dulls the excitement for them.
I'd say it's probably more that this run is pretty technical and everyone was trying to not be distracting or anything.
+faxik didnt know that attendees were getting anything from some random person's donation
+therealrictuar I can understand if its technical and you get lost, but just because something does not benefit you as the money goes to a good cause and you don't clap because you only care about what happens to you? Okay, each to their own on what they clap about, but to me it's like "etiquette" or just common sense to be nice or show you think it was a nice gesture if someone helps out and I don't.
4:58 huh, never knew Dan Salvato worked on Twitch emotes.
That was absolute madness.
Awesome run Werster! :D
It was a great run. Informative and fun as well.
Great run Werster! Been following you for a while now and love your runs in general, from a fellow Australian speedrun enthusiast ;)
"Pokemon League Champions are honored for their exploits here." (21:56) I laughed when he said the word 'exploits'.
I just scrolled down and noticed that this has already been said many times...
12:55 - 13:00 That just sounds hilarious when he says that shopping is a faster way to beat the game than catching a stronger Pokemon.
You're the man Mark. Congrats on another successful fundraiser.
This man. God damn it I am impressed. Pannenkoek and Werster act as living evidence that we NEED a Hall of Fame for folks like this. I literally got chills watching this.
Good run, too bad the marathon was sorta lame overall thanks to Uyama not allowing fun things. Loved the Sonic Heroes run+glitch exhibition.
Bonus stream was hilarious even though there wasn't much of it..
***** No cosplay, strict rules on who gets to be on couch when, and I think there was even one against plushies but Bertin snuck in Sanae somehow. There was also an emphasis on reading more sad donations and constantly reminding people on sponsors because Uyama needs his cash.

***** Plus the Bonus Stream was incredibly short BibleThump

Hey, just popping by the comments field to say that I totally appriciate ýour passion for pokemon speedruns. It's really interesting to watch. :)
how does he say PP so many times without cracking up haha.
"i need to lower my PP"
Because he's not a kid

What a wonderful community we have!

Werster's such a pro, the way he handles himself.
So...

In the original Japanese those were determined by the 'land' side of the map, but when they localized it became the 'ocean' side, but there was no encounter data programmed into there (since it was a town/land tile) so the game pulls from the last known location.
I'm far too amazed by this.
Fun to see there's an article on Gamespot about this run.
Wow. I didn't know Werster was social like that.
You're the best Werster ♥
Great run. On par with Cosmo's OoT from AGDQ2013. Very informative and entertaining! Kudos.
good run! and damn, shenanagans looks handsome
Just discovering these speed runs and I have to think... HOW THE HELL DO PEOPLE FIGURE THIS OUT? It's literally like rocket science.
Werster is a fucking legend at explaining things.
I dont understand how the number of a certain item in your inventory dictates where you are?
Basically the game allots 20 "spaces", if you will, that could hold item data in memory. From his explanation, there seems to be an internal count of how many spaces are being used (= how many items you have) currently. He tricks the game into thinking there are -1 items in the inventory. The game interprets the abnormal "-1" as "255", so when the item screen is opened, the game shows 255 "spaces" worth of info. The 235 spaces after the aforementioned 20 are non-item sections of memory being forced to read as items. Just so happened that the item he tossed corresponds to the map ID that going through a door will lead to.
I hope my explanation is clear.
this is "inventory underflow", tricking the game into thinking you have 255 items. items are stored as (item type) (count) (item type) (count)... in memory.

Hmm...and I assume switching the 8x8 tile that determines the behavior of a 16x16 tile in the American versions is what causes the edges of Cinnabar(?) to be treated as water?
watching Werster play is like watching an artist wrork
Even tho you're one of the saltiest streams next to DSP and Tyler, good job on the run!
7:55 eurgh. I've ALWAYS gone all the way around to geto90 that hidden potion without thinking.
Fucking habits... Then again I'm a normie and I never speedrun.
werster is awesome!
pokemon blue was the first game i've ever played and i got addicted to it back when i was like 6 years old, childhood ruined in 3..2..1 :D
I'm looking for a text walkthrough of this run. Most of it is basic but the menu switching is tough to get the #s down correctly. Also I saw someone name rival Z then a space and it had an easier looking item hex menu
Let a brother introduce himself!
Came from GDQ Archive just for you Werster.
Lmao
@5:00 anyone hear the name dan salvato? goes way beyond just doing twitch memes now eh
Werster? More like Webster. I am a huge Pokemon fan and I didn't know that status moves failed 1/4th of the time when used by the AI, that tiles with flowers on the bottom right in Viridian Forest don't trigger encounters, and all those numbers that correspond to shakes.
it's so fun playing with the underflow
18:32
Wild MISSINGNO.
glitched the
video!
Cool how you explained everything.
why is the cmonBruh emote sitting on the front right chair?
The "no encounter path" in Viridiam Forest does not work in the European version. All grass tiles will give you encounters in the European version.
False
It's true, and I can prove it.
It's true. I have the European version of Pokémon Blue and that bug(?) does not work.
Are you sure it was on the tiles with no encounters? there is a map here: wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red/Blue/Viridian_Forest_Movement
I used to run this category casually (~40 attempts) and never got an encounter on those tiles, and i have the european version too.

This is insane
"Tackle PP"
tee hee #maturesenseofhumour
I still can't do the trick after you skip the gym. How do I walk through walls?
the way PP sounds like is so funny :D
Wow, yet another guy stealing from werster... oh wait. :D
There is basically no difference between save corruption and no save corruption -.- Don't know why this would even be a different category... And I don't know if you can do that trick where you walk out of your house and win in blue-red, but if you've see it once you've seen it all... It's basically the same method but taking different steps.
+hmoobvball91 There is a huge difference, considering that save corruption will make it so that you beat the game under 1 minute.
I showed my non-gamer friend this video and he was blown away, Werster rekt pokemon blue
Shame the videos of this published under other accounts have a lot more views than this one. Awesome run.
why can't bulbsasaur be poisoned? they didn't give poison immune from being poisoned from poison moves till gen 2
Poison types were immune to being poisoned in gen 1.
My first game was blue version yet i dont remember that lol
Do you remember any poison-types getting poisoned?
its been a long long time since i played gen 1
21:41 why would you put a pokemon trainer in your bag
I was hoping you would play more at the AGDQ. it feels like you got the least played time of all the speedrunners.
Not really, he got play time and that is a big thing. Before everything was accepted and declined, there was over 600 hours of speedruns on the table. So him getting a run is already special enough. Even if it was juts 5 minutes. Compared to over the hundred speed runners that did not get a run.
So, 'No save' in this case means 'One save'? When he saved out to the main screen for the walk through walls glitch?
No save corruption, as in no turning off in the middle of saving to mess up the game
Ah, I see.
*Start the vid. See's it's 21 minutes.* Oh I gotta see this...
do you narrate your entire life?
+Miku Hatsune do you enjoy anime?
Do you like corn?
Since when did abra learn to teleport into the hall of fame
But isnt it a save corruption too when you saved the game to manage to talk to the trainer from the right side?
The save wasn't corrupted, you just reload the save to trigger a glitch
Who knew the gate guard has contacts is such high places... Hm.
One question that i've always had with this run is when you do the fighting dojo fight, why does every runner make the dojo guy come forward rather than talking to him directly?
notChinmay when in the trainerfly state you can interact with over world sprites. You have to let the trainer walk toward you to encounter the battle. Listen to the video next time.
oh okay... sorry for being ignorant
Speedrun without all the badges and Elite 4?
any% simply means reaching the end of the game (which is the hall of fame event in this game) ... it doesn't matter HOW you get there. xD
*****
But if you know how to simply code the game, ANY programmer could hold the record. That was such a silly bullshit run.
well, not really. You can't use glitches that don't exist. So you have to play according to the "rules" of the game. But as it is the first generation of pokemon you will find more glitches than you could ever use in a single run xD
