    Mechanical changes more than power creep is causing issues here. If the Gen 1 mons were still able to max out Stat Exp, had Amensia still be effectivly two calm minds, partial trapping moves that prevent the opponent from using moves, 90% accurate Blizzard, physical hyperbeam that doesn't need to recharge on KO, they could probably get through this whole challenge lossless.

      Shows that GAMEFREAK has gotten incredibly lazy, as usual. They could've made thousands of new moves, types, mechanics, while still taking the original 1st Generation into consideration. How many people have made it a point to keep their team from childhood? I know I tried until I just began hating Pokemon. Every game it gets worse.

  • @GyroCannon
    @GyroCannon Рік тому +635

    For context: The weird gaps in learnsets for early levels is due to gen 1 not having any way for the player to encounter pokemon before a certain level (whereas later gens have breeding) and so they didnt bother making movesets below the encounter level

    If they were allowed to have all Gen I mechanics in 2023, they could be kinda busted, actually... they'd have maximum EVs in all stats, so +63 in everything by LV100, a single Special stat that made Amnesia busted, 90% accurate Blizzard, a Hyper Beam that skips the recharge turn after a KO, the fastest ones would spam critical hits, and so on...

      He must be going off of red/blue and not yellow. Yellow changed the movesets and locations of a bunch of pokemon to make the early game much easier. For example in yellow mankey is found on route 22 and learns low kick at lv 9. Nidoran also learns double kick much earlier at lv 12.

    • @marcosdheleno
      @marcosdheleno 7 місяців тому +10

      they took too long to separate physical and special from types. that's something that should've happened by gen 3. and instead, only happened by gen 4, on the DS. that's a far bigger deal than abilities, as most of them were pretty mediocre in gen 3. with only a handfull really being usefull.
      also, it took them too long to make bug types, not shite, hell, i would even argue that they only became viable by white/black.
      i also have to argue that the games suffers ALOT from each gen putting many of the earlier pokemon you have access to beyond the elite 4. which by then, most players will have stopped playing.
      the irony is, its the opposite problem to gen 2, which had many of its newer mons, too late.
      that means, only competitive actually ends up making use of them.
      finally, and this is an issue that was fixed and then broken again, TMs being single use, with many of them being literaly 1 per game, forced players into exploiting bugs to clone those tms.
      you can really see that if you go check platinum's forums, as many people advise to not use earthquake tm, before being able to cloning it... which is only accessible AFTER the elite 4 again.
      there's even an argument to be made about the internet mechanic of the newer generations, being time bombs, as nintendo is not afraid of cutting the cord, making those massive parts of those games pretty much dead(white and black comes to mind, as well as the pokemon bank and the friend safari in x/y).
      so i would argue that for as many steps foward the franchise does, it manages to also undo many offering inferior experiences in many ways.

      @@marcosdheleno Alright, so.
      Generation 2 split Special into Special Attack and Special Defense, and introduced Steel and Dark as types.
      Generation 3 added Abilities.
      Generation 4 introduced the Physical/Special split.
      Generation 5 introduced Hidden Abilities.
      Generation 6 introduced what I call the Boost Factor. Mega Evolution for 6. Additionally, TMs become infinite-use.
      Generation 7's Boost Factor was Z-Power (which also introduced the concept of ANY Pokemon having access to a Boost Factor), and continued supporting the Generation 6 Boost Factor.
      Generation 8's Boost Factor was Dynamax, and concluded support of both Mega Evolution and Z-Moves. TRs are introduced, which function as single-use TMs.
      Generation 9's Boost Factor is the Terastallization. It also concludes support of Dynamax. TRs are discontinued, and TMs are once again single use. However, you can now indefinitely craft a TM once you have its recipe, and the materials/LP to craft it.

    Gen I pokemon aren't just victims of power creep here. They have been *significantly* nerfed. From all maxxed EVs, to sleep mechanics, to badge boosts, wrap and bind, no-recharge-on-ko hyperbeam, more effective boost moves (ala amnesia), crit mechanics, etc.

    The biggest problem is that there are not many Gen1 Pokemon available.
    Tauros, Nidoking, Zapdos, Snorlax, Alakazam and Articuno (dragon counter) would all have been available for the Elite4 and for the battles after that you would have had a Mewtwo to shred through your opponents. If you reversed the special split and added crit based on speed, it would have compensated for missing abilities/items.
    Also Hyperbeam was physical damage so a Giga Impact nowadays can even be argued to compensate for Dragonite.

So the enemy would burn in a fire wortex no clamp for cloyster? These are basic for any decent gen 1 player Amnesia for 2x stat raising Aurora bem instead if shit ice moves so the enemy would be weaker(in attack) after you attacked them... Bodyslam to paralyze them , not gibing chansey a duble slap to 5 attacks in a turn??? Dream eater on haunter to eat the enwemy in sleep 50% at a time would be an easy win, raise acuracy and use fissure instead of eathquake for instant kłll since in later generations earthquake is shit FLY to have a round where you can't be hit, Hydropump insread of surf since it's waay mroe pwoerful and bigger critical chance then surf in alte game surf not really powerful if you aren't in duoble battles. KINESIS so enemy can't hit shit.... NIGHTHSADE so it's as powerful as your level and ignore all other damage lowering factors, Pybem would be weaker then psychic but confsue the enemy so next turn it will likely hit itself not you.

    Spotting some issues here, and I had to put on my Genwunner glasses.
    0:53 - Your Lv5 Charmander can't use Ember. Gen 1 Charmander doesn't learn Ember until Lv9.
    1:20 - I'm not entirely sure if you modded the game, or if you are operating on an honour system. If Charmander can use Ember at Lv5, what stops Psyduck from using Confusion at Lv6 (instead of his Gen 1 Lv36)?
    1:36 - Slowpoke, because you told me so. (Otherwise it was Raichu, because when I got my first ever booster back as child, the first card I saw was a holo Raichu, and I was always upset that Pikachu in the anime refused to evolve.)
    3:36 - Pokemon did not introduce sexual dimorphism until Gen 4, so that female Pikachu should technically be illegal, if one is to be very strict with Gen 1 only rules.
    4:12 - That Mankey is Lv15, and should have the move Karate Chop, which it learns at Lv15. Karate Chop was a Normal-type move in Gen 1, but was changed to Fighting-type in Gen 2. And if you permit Yellow version, it should also learn Low Kick at Lv9.
    7:11 - They already tried to kill Raichu in Gen 1, since it doesn't learn any moves at all. The only way for Raichu to have any natural moves is to delay evolving Pikachu until he learns as the moves you want. This was never fixed, and it is disgusting!
    7:18 - I can't really tell what level your Pokemon are most of the time, but I hope you waited to evolve Jigglypuff, since Wigglytuff doesn't learn any moves just like Raichu.
    11:39 - Your Raichu used Thunderbolt, Pikachu cannot learn that move naturally until Pokemon Yellow version. So I am assuming that's the version you are using. In which case your Mankey absolutely should have had Low Kick to use against the Klawf. I don't know what your rules are on TMs, however, since those also chance from generation to generation.
    Anyway, I'll stop here and just enjoy the rest of the video. :P

      Squirtle is a bit more straightforward but it just gets good move the entire game that easily coast through it. start off with bubble, water gun, bite for solid versatile early moves. Then you get a very solid bubblebeam/dig/body slam set. Then you get ice beam in celadon. And lategame you've got your surf, blizzard, earthquake.
      It's not very subtle but it's very easy and natural to make use of squirtle strength at every stage of the game and it just relies on strong coverage move and no weird glitches or gen 1 quirk.

    A literal car as a pokemon. What's next? Your character has super sayian powers? At this point, maybe Gamefreak needs to take a break.

    Pokemon: Pokemon Trainers must be at least 10 years old.
    Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: *puts a 5 year old ELITE FOUR*

    I love how you put Red’s name in all caps. Amazing video! You should definitely do more like this.
