    I feel like Kadabra should be the final Red and Blue run, where rather than a regular challenge, you walk us through your video making process, the research you do, the potential choke points and their roundabouts, then your recording, editing and narrating.

      You need to use a move that raises the chance of a crit in order to reduce the chances of a crit, so that you can inflict more damage cuz crits do less than regular hits. That's kinda weird 🤣

      I've seen channels put a random amount of black screen at the end of videos, sometimes you get a long video with a short end screen, sometimes a shorter video with a 30 minute end screen.

    Speaking of weird gen 1 RNG...
    On one of my playthroughs I traded myself a level 70 Cloyster to go through the game, but since I didn't have the right badges to control him he _should've_ been hard to control. I found out that, for some odd, inexplicable reason, I could make him attack successfully every turn so long as I did his moves in order. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, back to 1st, etc. If I deviated at all during the battle he'd start to be unreliable as intended, and I'd have to reload the save to get back his flawed obedience.

      Same reason you can fight Safari Zone Pokémon on the east coasts of Cinnabar and Seafoam. That particular type of tile is accidentally coded in as a grass tile. It’s just that since that route has grass encounters normally, that’s what’s in the grass encounter table instead of the previous area you flew from, or even the Old Man Glitch.

      @@Dragostorm21 Yeah, I know he doesn't use items. I was just saying. A OHKO-move only run doesn't have to be only one pokémon tho. Even if it's luck-based, you may still use Pinsir, Rhydon and Kingler for example, taking Pinsir into Earthquakes, Rhydon into Normal-type attacks, and Kingler into Water-type attacks for example, to maximize the amount of hits you take before running out of HP. And PP wouldn't be a problem that way, or at least not that much.

      Although Rhydon would kinda suck for that because of how slow it is, and in Gen 1, OHKO moves only work if you out speed the opponent. And if you're only using OHKO moves, then I would assume that also means no Thunder Wave or String Shot or anything.

      the game doesn't know what to do when you're surfing along the coastline because coast tiles are not considered water or grass tiles so instead when you get an encounter on those tiles it loads the list of the most recent grass tile you've been to (in this case the grass patch south of pallet town) and pulls a random pokemon from it. this is often exploited to encounter and catch safari zone pokemon outside of the safari zone thanks to the fact you can use your pokemon in an encounter normally and not have to rely on safari balls/bait/rocks

That way, we can still see the overview more easily, and also it would show up on the video format and aspect ratio easily. To differentiate evolved and non evolving Pokemon from the first forms and such, you could maybe add icons or change the font or font color.

    The only time OHKO moves are worth it is if you can set their accuracy with a move like Mind Reader to make them not miss on the next turn. In reality this would be super prediction reliant, but in game, its pretty fun since the AI almost never switch. Only the Poliwrath line and Articuno are able to pull this off, which makes it fairly unique. I also like how Poliwrath can learn Hypnosis and Dynamic Punch, so you can go all in on the Mind Reader even if Focus Punch is probably the better option when its available
