This is a amazing concept man, tas breakdowns/explanations have always been interesting, but a comparison/progression is a fresh perspective on the subject.. Well done man
I'm sad the meme run where Metronome Clefable would use the strongest possible moves in FR/LG wasn't a legitimate strat. Throwing out convenient Hydro Pumps, Blizzards, and Crunches, and critting most of the hits. You don't get Metronome until pretty late in the run and have to constantly buffer attacks to ensure the right move came out, so I guess it made more sense just to use Gen 1 Tauros and Stomp your way to victory.
When you were talking about the “first choice” I forgot that in the gen 1 games you can only play as a Male protagonist so my brain made “Are you a boy or a girl?” “Squirtle”
@NS 317 you really think it would've mattered in the slightest? why the restriction on version? what's the point of asking this? there's literally no way to draw a single conclusion about your question without talking out of your ass
12:56 That's slightly incorrect - critical hits ignore the opponent's positive defensive stat changes in every generation, along with the user's negative offensive stat changes, BUT exclusive to Gen I crits also ignore the opponent's negative defensive stat changes and the user's positive stat changes. In other words, future games would allow crits to stack on top of the user's Swords Dance and the foe having been hit with Screech. RBGY, on the other hand, made crits ignore EVERYTHING - which meant that a crit (which dealt 2x damage before the 3DS changed it) would deal less damage than two Amnesias (3x damage).
Yeah was gonna comment that. Gen 1 Crits could strangely be detrimental due to that. But this is also the same generation where Focus Energy actually sabotages your critrate lol
@@nicocchi interesting enough, inspecting the disassembly suggests that the actual cause of the issue is that the game calculates your crit rate as if you used focus energy if you _haven't_ used focus energy. it's usually said that focus energy quarters your crit rate in gen 1, but the code only _halves_ it - yet it still ends up quartering it overall, because the code instead _doubles_ your crit rate if you _haven't_ used focus energy. while it's possible that they just used the wrong operator in both cases, i can't help but find it striking that the code would actually work perfectly fine as-is ... if the check for focus energy was reversed, anyway especially given how high the crit rate is in gen 1. alakazam having a 23.4% chance to crit just for existing makes significantly less sense than it having 5.9% if it hasn't swallowed a dire hit, after all
@@JazzyWaffles well another gimmick of Gen 1 Crits we’re that they were also based on the Pokémon’s Speed Stat, not just random chance. So Pokémon like Persian could crit a lot thanks to high speed and moves like Slash. Edit: oh, it was brought up in the vid, lol.
Man that is wild that such a shakeup happened. It is also cool that it lets a team be used. I wonder if some version of more Pokémon can be used as donation incentives in RTA at least, even if it is a little slower.
Eager to hear about the Gold & Silver TAS Routes! I had heard about most of the stuff in this video, & it's neat to know that in TAS, the Nidokingdom has been overthrown. Anyway, excellent video! Thanks a bunch for uploading!
When I was 8 and first got Red Version for X-Mas, I didn't know how the PC system worked so I just wound up keeping the first 6 Pokemon I caught. So I wasn't surprised when you said how strong Clefairy/Clefable can be 😂
It's important to remember that this was the case for the first Pokémon game because they were so limited by their hardware. They had to pack this entire game onto just a few hundred kilobytes, less than a single floppy disk worth of data. I'd recommend anyone with a modicum of experience or interest to look at the reverse engineered roms of red and blue. It's fascinating to see how, when it comes down to it, these games were basically just sophisticated spreadsheets calling the right information at the right time. They didn't have room for complex RNG equations because those alone would have been too big for the game. So they brilliantly used something pseudorandom - the player's inputs. Pokémon games after this don't suffer the same problem because Game Freak devs got better at programming, and pretty quickly were able to upgrade to larger data ceilings. So don't expect this to be possible in newer Pokémon games. I doubt any of them past Crystal (at the latest) used these sort of workaround tactics anymore.
Lol I swear I remember doing the instant text glitch as a kid when R/B came out. I remember it taking me a while to realize it, then just thinking “well that’s weird”
When I played Pokemon Yellow as a little kid, I would always catch a Nidoran. I just had the feeling it was very strong, turns out the feeling was right. :D
Funny, I don't like both pokemons and speedruns, yet here I am, watching it all with great interest 😅 The way you and some other channels explain it all is very cool!
It would be fun to see a TAS result for doing a run with every single pokemon in the game, if it was allowed to hack it in as a starter! Which pokemon is the fastest? Which is the slowest? Are some pokemon literally impossible? Which pokemon sees the greatest improvements in the standings by a single evolution?
Go watch JRose11 channel. He did solo runs of almost all the Gen1 Pokemon with them hacked in as starters, but then doesnt use any glitches, or any items during battles.
@@bradleywalker8642 Believe me, i've watched every single one of his solo runs, but what i'm talking about is the mathematicaly best possible glitchless scenario for every single pokemon in the game. JRose still has the human element of his own patience and limited time to find solutions. I know it would take literally thousands of hours to do, so it's not realistic to actually do it, but it is the ultimate dream for me with runs like this, just to see if we can find a pokemons hard limit...
I don't think that this could happen. Tauros has an appearing-rate of only 4% and Tauros has a catch rate of only 45, which is pretty low as well. This RNG-Manipulation to let Tauros appear and catch him with the first Safari Ball is very hard without TAS and failing it would pretty sure mean the run would be over immediately. In addition to that, you cannot use Horn Drill in a non-TSA run because of it's low accuracy, but it is pretty much required for Tauros in Koga's Gym and in the final fights because of Tauros' low level.
@@andreee_obn6261 entrpntr managed to find a manip for a Lvl 4 Nidoran in Blue (1%) with FFEF DVs and can be yolo balled. It would be hard with Tauros' worse catch rate but I think it can be done. The problem I think runners would have would be clearing the text boxes. Idk what the frame buffer is for the safari zone battle text boxes. X accuracy can fix Horn Drill's accuracy, but it might make money routing difficult.
Yes! I thought it was so interesting that Raticate is, at least right now, the fastest mon to use in GSC, and Id love to know how it got to that point haha
I know the Japanese versions are a completely different category, but I know many examples of speedruns that use the fasted language for their speedruns. I'm curious how fast the best TAS of the Japanese version of Red is in comparison
People shit on TAS because it's been sometimes used as a method to cheat, but TAS'ing is a legitimate skill and it should be celebrated, especially when strategies found using TAS end up in use in speedruns.
Minor nitpick, but I don't think it's accurate to say that TASes are "all business", TASVideos strongly encourages making a video as entertaining as possible without losing time, including "swag".
The poke doll was not an oversight. It’s even mentioned in the test players leaked debug logs and the developers state it works as intended meaning it was expected and coded to operate correctly. I suspect it’s just a clever treat.
This is false. The poke doll escape was in fact an oversight reported by beta testers. The developers knew about that, but since it was a minor, not game-breaking out, they decided to leave it out for the time and patch it later, but they soon ran out of time for release date and never fixed it.
Red/Blue might have the most RNG dependent mechanics in any game in history. The chance for this to all come together in a regular run is so astronomically low, I doubt the ratio would fit on a computer screen. Great video
There's a single fight that had 1/4 trillion odds, it would make for an interesting video to take the most rng dependent sections and calculate the odds, the triple gen 1 miss explosion section would be a fun one
Well TAS is probably the only run that doesn't use the badge boost glitch. Would have to watch the whole footage but at least I didn't see them purposefully get hit by a move that would activate it.
12:50 "Luckily for us, in Gen 1, crits ignore stat changes." Unfortunately, it works both ways in Gen 1: crits ignore virtually ALL stat changes, including your own.

This does make me wonder if one day a Pokémon Red/Blue runner would encounter a Tauros in the Safari without manipulation and perhaps actually throw a Safari ball just for the meme of attempting the TAS route and actually getting it.
It's never in 10000 lightyears going to happen. 2 reasons: 1. Non TAS speedruns don't encounter any pokemon in the safari zone. 2. You have to manip the 1% encounter Tauros and the 6.5% catchrate safari ball.

Try imagine you explain this to a game dev before the game is released. Like "you see since your team placed this 1 thing here we can do ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL OF THIS" And hes like: just starring in disbelief and confusion, wondering if you are a crazy person!
2 questions: 1) 8:01 "Pokémon that share a type with Nidoking, which means Thrash won't kill some of them". What do you mean? How are type sharing and Thrash effectiveness linked? 2) Does the RNG advance the same amount when pressing a button or another? Or does it depend on the button pressed? If it does, do you have a table suming it up? BTW 5:20 the % add up to 105%, I think Rattata lvl.3 is only 15%.
it should be noted that there are 3 types of tasses. tas, the theoretical perfect that not even a human can do, lotas. low optimized tasses due to eathe tools not being up to snuff or time constrants, and lotads witch is more just a demonstration of something cool.

That Johto TAS video would be cool
2 questions:
1) 8:01 "Pokémon that share a type with Nidoking, which means Thrash won't kill some of them". What do you mean? How are type sharing and Thrash effectiveness linked?
2) Does the RNG advance the same amount when pressing a button or another? Or does it depend on the button pressed? If it does, do you have a table suming it up?
BTW 5:20 the % add up to 105%, I think Rattata lvl.3 is only 15%.
I actually didn't know about the over leveling skipping a move.
When I saw clefairy I was hoping for metronome manip 😂
it should be noted that there are 3 types of tasses. tas, the theoretical perfect that not even a human can do, lotas. low optimized tasses due to eathe tools not being up to snuff or time constrants, and lotads witch is more just a demonstration of something cool.
Super cool video, i just have a concern: why do percentages in 5:34 add up to 105%?
Good catch, I likely made a mistake when creating the graphic from the catch rate chart.
Oh of course we'd make a mad dash to the king of RBY...
Nice breakdown that was interesting
I bet someone is gonna make the button presses on the left side of the Tas into a chart on a rhythm game
