HOW EASILY CAN YOU COMPLETE PROFESSOR OAK'S CHALLENGE IN POKEMON RED/BLUE?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 фев 2019
- Today we're taking a look at a very not well-known type of Pokemon catch 'em all: The Professor Oak Challenge. In this challenge you have to collect every Pokemon that is available before each gym badge is acquired. Today we're going to take on the challenge. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

I have a no badges challenge for everyone.. Here's a hint, Brock through walls + Trainer Fly glitch. I have 0 badges, I'm in Pallet Town, got items, money, ALL Starters, I'm the OT as well (see the extended TF glitch using Ditto to get the Pokémon I want though Special Stat index..)

Urgh... I had the resolve to evolve my starter to Evolution 2 in Sinnoh before the Prof said i could keep it.
He just said somethink like: Oh it already evolved, good for you.
It was so worth it.

XBakaTacoX that made me laugh so fucking hard
uh...bullshit? lol
@@Xerophlume it actually does happen. When I was younger and messed with action replay he mentions an alternate text if the game doesn't recognise the base stage of the starter Pokémon prior evolution since it should be impossible to have more than that one Pokémon in the party.
I did this in my pokemon platinum randomizer, and he does say that.
Wow, been playing pokemon for 20 YEARS and never knew about the hidden moon stone in mt moon
Out of this entire video that also was the one thing that kept bothering me, haha.

Lmao I found out when I was 8 I just liked exploring plus I was kinda stuck down there for a few days just killing everything by the electric gym I was level 60 I think but i didn't know what to do cus the electric thing confused me lmak
I remember reading about this on reddit, very cool to see it completed on RUclips! But 82 hours man... you must really like to torture yourself LOL
Despite all the tediousness I actually had a lot fun with this challenge haha. Thanks dude!
HOLY CARROTS WAT TA FOOGE
Hi poketips
Yeah poketips cant wait for your next randomizer episode of let’s go eevee
I'm up to 60 hours in ultra sun and I only just completed the volcano trial. I've caught almost every pokemon possible, just because I want a full pokedex.
You said self destruction was useless for this kind of challenge. It's actually great when leveling up a pokemon with no moves, because you can put out your Abra or whatever on a Dugtrio and then self destruct your graveler so Abra gets 100% of the 600 experience.
But then you have to revive that sucker...
@@JustinKoenigSilica but then you can go to the pokemon center...
But was it useless? No. He was only thinking of how self destruct doesn't give the user experience, and not how self destruct was designed to help your teammates, by getting rid of a large threat at a weaker level AND the teammate gets all the experience. You're going to the Pokémon center a lot anyway because you'll be stuck taking 2 turns off Dugtrio damage during normal switch training, which could equal a Pokemon center visit if you aren't at end game levels, compared to 1 Dugtrio battle with self destruct. Would 1 self destruct fight + PC visit be faster than 2 switch training fights + PC visit?
@@filindoyt6594 but them you will waste time
What is faster tho? Getting 600 experience and then walking back to the pokemon center to do it again or switch training it normally and getting 300xp twice?
And your Rival on S.S. Anne says, he catched over 40 Pokemon at this point...
Looks like he did the same thing... Holy shit...
He didnt say it was all diffrent
Maybe he has 30 caterpie
@@thatboi9505 I think he said he found 40 Pokemon for the Pokedex, which considering that the Pokedex only registers Pokemon you've caught... yeah.

As I’m currently attempting a livedex with Let’s Go, that was legitimately my first thought, because my danged Pidgey still isn’t fully evolved, and I’m 3 badges in (I only just got a switch as a gift - yes I had to wait an insane amount of months because my sister thought getting the game first was hilarious, and I couldn’t afford to buy a switch - so I haven’t been playing too long yet)

No, he had surf. Surf is in the Safari Zone, and he didn't catck Psyduck until AFTER. Psyduck was caught around 21:00 and he got HM03 surf around 19:30

I'm mildly triggered that you passed up a golden opportunity to confront Blue on the SS Anne with more than 40 Pokemon to your name.
He would be like so what I have 151 mons
I actually did this in yellow as a kid nothing changes expect personal pleasure of being better than gary
It would be ridiculous if blue really had 40 pokemon, iirc at that point there's only 42 obtainable pokemon
Edit: Thinking about it he already has cut and may have gone through rock tunnel
@@osc-omb47896 I always thought that, but I eventually realized It _is_ true to both Gary's and Blue's characters. I'd say Blue's a bit more stoic, but both are researchers at heart, even if Blue eventually becomes a gym leader instead of a researcher.
It also depends on your view of -assface- Blue. Because he's constantly giving you tips and shit at the same time, I always assumed Red and Blue were vitriolic friends. I'm also weird tho
@@TheQuashingoftheTub They got that Goku and Vegeta type friendship where one is obviously stronger but constantly gets shit from the other but deep down they care

I thought that he was good until he chose dome
Professor Oak actually does give you some Poké Balls, but only if you talk to him after winning that optional rival battle on Route 22 without adding any new Pokédex entries. You kinda missed out on some freebies there.
Damn, I'm playing those games since I was a kid, but I never knew that was even a thing until now.
It's already easy to miss that rival fight, let alone going back another time.
I’m gonna try this real quick
Can confirm, this is true, which is pretty nice. Always thought you had to buy it yourself in the original Red and Blue games.
Wait what?
so basically u choose whether u eant pokeballs or exp. huh?
If you use Pokemon red in the N64 with Pokemon stadium, you can use a stored fresh water/soda/lemonade from a previous run and put it in your game. This allows you to bypass the Saffron guards, and gives you access to the Celadon moon stone. But, this also let's you bypass Misty's gym altogether, and only needs you to get Brock's and Koga's badge to get everyone besides Moltres, Articuno, and Mewtwo. This doesn't conform to your "no using other games" rule however, but there's no other way I can think of
I'd assume that doesn't get past the no glitches either...
@@Earthboundmike There's no glitches in that scenario. Just using a second game. You can store items in Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon stadium 2 as a second PC storage system, and withdraw it from any compatible game (It doesn't need to be the original game it came from, like how the item from one file from Pokemon Blue has to be withdrawn from that save file specifically. It can be withdrawn from a pokemon Red or Yellow after deposited from Blue). The only glitch you'd possibly use would be the ditto glitch to get version exclusives and trade evolutions if you wanted
@@Alienldr again this is against the no second game rule
But that's against the rules.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO, watched the whole thing. The editing on this video was AMAZING. Dude, the effort you put into this is impressive. Beyond the challenge I was mad impressed with how well this video was edited and narrated. Everything/10.
Hey that’s me near the end of the video! I just beat my run of red like this about a month ago. Congrats dude I know how tedious it can be but I also found it a lot of fun. I was really excited to see this video pop up in my feed because the subreddit doesn’t have a lot of activity.
Hey dude! I was going to post this in the subreddit, but I didn't know if it was against the rules. I really want /r/professorOak to be really popular, so I'm glad that people are subbing to it!
Johnstone I’d say go for it. The subreddit needs more posts and it is about your run through of the challenge so I think it should be fine.
@@Dokabob 34:14 the middle post is the one you posted
Ok, so here is what you did
You caught a Caterpie and Weedle and also a Metapod and Kakuna, just so that you don't need to evolve caterpie and weedle. And then you train Caterpie and Weedle, because THEY ARE EASIER TO TRAIN.
Yeah, I see.
ExtremeAce249 because Kalyan and metapod can't use anything except for harden and string shot
@@mushroomz3310 Yeah I know, then why did he waste his 2 PokeBalls on catching Kakuna and Metapod, after just saying that he needs to save PokeBalls. XD

I forgot that gen 1 Golbat sprite is absolutely nightmare fuel
It's horrific and goofy at the same time, I really don't know what to make of it
Yellow has the best sprites
Which is why I avoid playing red and blue. Awful sprites.
Only red and blue, red and green has a normal golbat
First video in this series, great to watch!
"$60? That's not even the cost of a single Pokeball. That's worth like one jiggle." Never gets old.
That's actually very close to what I'd do when I was a kid. I'd catch every available pokemon before each gym and level all of them up to a certain level cap (20 for brock, 25 for misty and so on), the grind was real.
I did something similar but for brock it was 15 because I didn't have patience. (I also do 25 for Misty 30 for Surge and so on lol.) The grind requires patience but basically by doing this your team could be nearly as weak as you want and still be able to over power Leaders through Levels alone lol
I did that in Pearl....without evolving my Pokemon.
"that's worth one jiggle..." is my favorite quote for this vid
Lol! The OG Golbat sprite though! 14:27
I didnt know how fun it is to watch Pokemon videos. Please keep em coming, I love it!
Early game:
I'm struggling with the amount of pokeballs... I captured kakkuna and Metapod separatedly from Caterpie and Weedle because whynot
I'm wondering if he battled Blue west of Veridian City for some extra dough.
Because Wynaut?
Because it's less leveling, ya magikarps.
Alolan Exeggutor
Barely.
@@alolanexeggutor1010 He explicitly said he didn't level the Kakuna and Metapod though. He leveled the Weedle and Caterpie so they could retain their starting attack moves. Otherwise you have to level Kakuna and Metapod by switch training like a Magikarp.
I would almost be tempted to try BUT I work so much and I like to be able to enjoy my free time, and this challenge would not be fun but stressful lol. Great video as ALWAYS (really goes without saying, so I don’t always say so lol).

I think you should have put unobtainable pokemon on the right side as you mentioned them to be easier to follow the totals
You truly have god-level patience. You deserve so much more attention than you get. AWESOME work!
This is a really interesting challenge that I had never heard of until now. I really enjoyed this video!
I swear tfg that the minute he said "yeah im just gonna use the masterball" during the mewtwo fight, i got the sprint that that says "isnt it nice to keep thing simple?" Im dead
subbed to see u do this for every generation game.
also a suggestion, i think it would be nice if you added images of the badges you've collected so far, maybe illuminating them once acquired. you could place it between the counter and game cover artwork, and it doesn't need to be big, just enough to keep in mind how many are completed so far. keep up the good work.
Great video! Really interesting watching the challenge but I couldn't punish myself to do it, respect to you!
I respect your grind plus you make it fun to watch.
Man, I always forget lickitung and Electebuzz were even in the first gen games, lol

@@Reinreith yes, like Corsola and Skarmory
As a 9-10 year old I used to do this. But if also trade over from another game to get everything. I love that it's a challenge these days.
Recently got back into pokemon and mainly only gen 1 because I was raised in that generation haha! This is epic and an immensely detailed video! Excellent work!
I absolutely loved this video i always shy away for videos more than 15 minutes but you just did 82 hrs on my easy 200 plus back in 98 without no game sharks or guides. Awesome vid man.
I remember attempting this a while back and gave up. I’m glad you were able to do this haha
So... uh... why didn't you teach more TMs? I know there aren't a lot of reusable ones, but TMs and especially HMs may have saved you a little trouble with some Pokemon.
I couldn't agree more, surf would have saved a tons of times with all the water pokemon with limited movepool. (Not at all looking at you psyduck)
I was wondering this too. Surprised this comment doesn't have more likes
and voltorb
Sometimes you have a brain fart and don’t think of that
@@Dysll I know that, but there were Pokemon he had that could have been made a lot easier if he used HMs or TMs. I even said it in my post "I know there aren't a lot of reusable ones" because you can buy some in Celadon.
Oh my god man you have a crazy amount of patience or insanity either way bravo!
This is the first time I've heard of this type of challenge. I find it entertaining to see and its great you are giving a shoutout to the reddit. I dont use reddit but this will bring more attention to it.
I would personally not attempt this, but I would want to try a "catchable" version of this (basically skipping the grinding to evolve parts) and still make it interesting for myself.

I admire your patience and hard work. Top notch content!
I facepalmed really hard when you wasted precious early Pokéballs on Metapod and Kakuna when literally your next action has to be evolving them and you're using their base forms anyway so you don't have to switch.
Also not using Pokemon yellow.
@@vyor8837 Yellow is not the first games pokemon games that came out blue,red and green (japanese only) are.
Yellow came out 2 years later after gameboy color came out which is why yellow has better game color as well as letting you get the three starter pokemon.
that is why they are in black and white.
It's a second stand-alone game and you could catch pikachu in the original 3 games before the first gym anyways.
@@basillah7650 it's a gen1 game and allows catching all 3 gen 1 starters
You only have to beat Misty to go South from Cerulean in Let's Go. FRLG are just as open as the originals.
I'm only guessing that most people just never paid attention to when officer Jenny moves, and just assumed it was the badge that triggered the event, backed up by how the other guy doesn't let you leave until you beat Brock
Mistake: You mentioned getting Mr. Mime after Misty - but you could have caught another Abra before Misty and traded for Mime.

The pidgey grind should make you a saint btw
These videos are awesome... I don't have the patience to sit there for 17 hours grinding one Pokemon, so yeah you definitely get a thumbs up
I can't believe you poisoned that Abra banking on teleport failing. What a ballsy move. "Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!"
Teleport fails in battle in gen 1
@@emperortgp2424 I know. That was stated in my comment. It's not exactly a guaranteed fail though meaning that risking a failure to make it easier to catch was gutsy.
Sorry, i thought it always failed
Emperor TGP nah, in battle, teleport allows Abra to run from battle, which makes catching it painful
@@emperortgp2424 In case you wanted to know more. Teleport in Gen 1 has a chance to fail based on the user's and opponent's levels. He hat a level 33 Venusaur against a level 8 Abra. That translates to roughly a 19% fail chance in that specific case. The range is generally between 12.5% and 25% with a higher chance to fail, if the opponent is of a higher level.
You absolutely earned my like. This was INSANE!!!
Mad respect takes guts of steel to do such a challenge congrats man love the content keep it up!!!
dude, you're literally so insane. love your vids. you've definitely earned my like
your channel is a must sub for every pokemon fan
This man deserves a medal just for the Pidgy grinding alone
Yo, hats off to you brotha. This is just stupid insane what you did for us. You didn’t have to do this, but you did it for us. Massive props, thank you for the effort and it was an honour to beat witness to this feat!
The fact that you did this without any speed up amazes me but also makes me question if you really had nothing better to do.
I have a challenge inspired by that feature in newer games that remind you the party you challenge every Gym Leader with:
1. You MUST catch the first Pokémon you find in every Route, if you defeat it, you have to catch one of the same species before doing anything else.
2. When your party is full, your newest catch must replace your oldest. Which means if I reach the place where I can get my 7th Pokémon, it replaces my starter, the next one must replace the 2nd Pokémon I got and so on and so forth.
You get to try Pokémon at every place and each Gym Leader feels challenging, since you can't get attached to them too much, since some Pokémon might leave your party as soon as they arrive you'll tackle Gyms and battles head-on with minimal grinding. Stuff like Selfdestruct that I never used, suddenly became viable since that Pokémon will leave the party eventually.
The crazy thing is that I pretty much did something this in a video about a year back. I did a nuzlocke where I had to swap out Pokemon once I got to a full party, so every encounter was added to my party. It was actually really fun!
@@JohnstoneYT It's definitely Nuzlocke-inspired, but without perma-death. So that major battles become a game of "How little do I have to grind in order to win with my current team? ", almost like a puzzle.
Probably a lot harder of a challenge is one I called "the ace challenge".
Rule 1) only allowed to have 6 Pokemon total (none in box unless fainted)
Rule 2) if it faints, it's dead. Throw away.
Rule 3) the first Pokemon on the route is what you have to catch if you decide to bypass the route and catch a 6th Pokemon if one faints (so instance, passing on kakuna in veridian forest means if you decide to go back, you HAVE to catch kakuna).
And rule 4) special nickname for them so the fear of losing the Pokemon becomes even greater. (Also they are your family in the game, and all family members deserve a name)
So basically, nuzlocke but only have a total of 6 at a time (no back ups in pc).
I would love to see someone do this in yellow where you can get a slightly fuller Pokédex due to the fact that you can get the 3 other starters. It would also have the advantage of not having to evolve your starter at all because it rejects the thunderstone
Thank you for uploading this. You're a great youtuber, i appreciate you.
Congrats! This is wicked impressive
Actually, FireRed & LeafGreen do allow access to Vermilion City after completing Bill's event, even without the Cascade Badge…
This isnt firered and leafgreen though
@@boca3565 Rewatch the video and then edit your comment.
With the old games your starter is basically the difficulty level
What?
@@deadaccount1.57
Charmander = Hard Mode
Squirtle = Medium
Bulbasaur = Easy.
It was even mentioned in the Manual (Trainers Guide) from this Game.
It is based on the first two Gyms. Charmander has a disadvantage against Brock and Misty. Squirtle has one advantage and one is neutral. And Bulbasaur has two advantages.
If you do a similar style video in the future, a nice thing could be adding a time estimate counter on the right side of your layout.
