Pokemon Blue speedruns are very broken

Pokemon Red and Blue were the very first Pokemon games ever made. Many years later, these games have been broken so much, that the speedrun barely even makes you play the game. Here's how

Links that explain some of the tech used in this run:

My channel generally focuses on a more casual side of speedruns. With these videos I want to show off cool speedruns, explain how they work, and entertain. Hopefully you enjoy the content and maybe even take up speedrunning yourself, because it is truly a lot of fun!

I find poetic that the trainer that glitches the game is called "BUG CATCHER"

"Son, you have to leave for school in twenty minutes!"
*"hold up lemme beat pokemon real quick"*

[sppsports]

It took me 6 months to beat this as a kid. This game felt like an endless journey as an 8 year old. Now people beating it in minutes.

me at the start of this video: * wondering how he's gonna beat the elite 4 so quickly *
me at the end of this video: "wow that spearow is goated"

Speedrunning games like this always blows my mind. The time taken to discover all of the very precise movements is incredible. How the hell did someone decide to make their name like that? Insane stuff.

Never gets old to me how broken the early Pokémon games are.

This is the only time where i saw someone give your rival a normal name while you get the weird one

As someone who ran this game and category for 5 years, I love the video and how informative it is. Great run for your first real (completed) attempt!

The fact that this video was 8 minutes long makes me rethink my childhood

Man and back in the day we all thought catching MissingNo. was the coolest most broken hack there could be.

The game is so broken it actually comes as a shock when you can name the rival "Red" and not a specific string of six characters

10 year old me who used to hold down A and B and press left and right in time with the pokeball jiggling feels incredibly vindicated by that spearow catch

I will never forget the first time I beat this game. 2002, a rainy night in my family's boat. Watching this makes me smile.

A drinking game where you take a shot every time he says “frame perfect”

Watching this video made me wonder if Elon Musk named his kid X Æ A-12 because he's planning on using an rng manip

It's so nice to see the Pokemon games go back to their roots of bugs and glitches with the new games. It's so nostalgic.

[Yeah_itsJohn]

gen 1 definitely has its fair share of issues in normal play but some of the more advanced shit really makes you wonder how anyone would just stumble upon them, let alone intentionally seek them out

[noahcelander]

Blue out here making BDSP look well-tuned

I never thought this was possible, thanks for letting us know
