You say softlock, I say former League champion gives up Pokemon battling to pursue a life as a simple berry farmer.

That... makes this softlock surprisingly wholesome
I want Ethan to be happy farming berries with his Caterpie friend!

Day 33, the NPCs have accepted me to be one of their own, believing I am just a misplaced bugcatcher.
Day 44, I think Caterpie has started to realize how dire our situation is...
@JD Kathrineberg You mean like the hidden shop inventory that prevents you from selling more then 99 items of the same kind to a shop?
@@SeedlingNL prevents you from selling more than 99 items at once right? There is an escape, right?
Day 99, wait, There’s a pokemon without moves!!!! I’m free!!!
Oh wait, no no no no!!!
He used quick attack!
I thought my escape from this was finally here!

It’s 99 at a time, since 99 is the max stack in this game. There’s no actual restriction on how many items can be sold.

Hey Pikasprey! A little late but I thought I'd say it anyway. It seems GameFreak WAS aware that trading between foreign copies of Pokemon would cause data corruption but they didn't actually set any flags within the game to prevent it! I was flipping through the manual for the original Pokemon Silver out of boredom (yes, I have a genuine copy, thanks to my roommate hording stuff and later giving it away). On the page that details the trading sequence, it specifically states, "Also, please do not attempt to trade or battle with a foreign version of Pokemon or your data will be corrupted." So they definitely knew of the game breaking bug but I guess they thought it would be next to impossible for foreign copies to interact. Then they stuck a note in the manual, hoping that would keep it from happening. Certainly not the first time that's happened and likely not the last. Rather interesting, don't you think?
thannk you for this info :)
Maybe the localization team noticed it after it was too late to fix the problem.
@@scienceviking4490 That's entirely possible. Or perhaps they thought it wasn't worth fixing.
StarShine480 Maybe that manual wasn’t written by Game Freak?
Well battling people internationally or having two people with having the same game but a different version isn't very common back in 1998 compared today. So I'll give them a pass on this one

Pikasprey Yellow: This game won't let you do anything until you spend eight months of booting up it up every single day, just to pick the single berry you are allowed until you can trade in enough of them to buy your first item.
Mobile gamers: Sounds awesome, where can I download it?
Old school runescape players. Spend two months of in game play time to grind skills and quests. Get certain unlock that allows you to make money while training a combat skill. Spend another 60 hours getting to near max level. Use the money gained from said 60 hours of training to get a high tier weapon. Then go to a different training spot, and for 10 hours straight grind to max level. But boy, you ain't done yet. That dope cape you got for getting max level? You can trim it. You can add an attractive trim to the edges. But you need to max out another skill for that trim. So start cooking those sharks because that is another 24 in game hours.
And that is how I got my range cape and trimmed it.

It would be more cruel to replace the caterpie with a low-level Mew and teach it 4 HM moves not containing surf and fly. This way the softlock only works, because you cannot forget HM moves, a feature to prevent softlocks.
Omg.....
You're a genius
I think flash should be excluded as well, otherwise it's possible to keep spamming flash against the gravelers in Victory Road and wait for them to miss when using self-destruct in order for Mew to gain enough exp to battle one of the trainers and get some money.
@@AleksKwisatz Good point.
@@AleksKwisatz nope, the 1/256 Glitch was fixed in Gen 2
@@DaGamingCore But I reckon you can still make the opponent's move fail using flash, as it decreases the enemy's accuracy, and self-destruct and explosion are the only moves that deal damage to the user even if they fail.

You might think you could destroy your game by throwing it into a volcano but, you know, I considered that as well.
You see, this is actually forbidden due to the fact that both the Gameboy Color and our Japanese copy of Pokémon Crystal are made out of Nintendium. What this means is that they will not burn up in the magma, and instead the game will still be playable.
It isn't made out of a fake metal!
They use a burn heal.
Ice Berries heal burns. You can only get Ice Berries. Not even Volcanoes can destroy it
13:40 walking through walls just force femme'd you
Imagine picking berries for a solid 8 months, buying an ultraball, throwing the ball at a wild Pokémon, and then having the Pokémon escape.
You can save after getting the ultra ball and keep resetting the game until you catch the Pokémon you need to escape

@@qwerty842 pfft... HAHAHAHAHAHA
Pretty sure that most players are getting softlocked by not understanding Japanese first
Don't underestimate the power of randomly selecting options.
When I was a kid, during a vacation in Turkey my parents bought me a bootleg English Crystal version. The thing is, back then I couldn't read a single word of English.
Well that didn't prevent me from finishing the game lol.
I think that kind of lock is called language barrier.
I learned to play Pokémon before I could read, learning the bottom option was “switch Pokémon” and the top was “keep Pokémon in”
after 240 days of being stuck in this softlock, you'd understand it
Meanwhile people who didn't have a localisation in their langugage: "Noob."
Being trapped with a Caterpie isn't a choice, it's a way of life.

Before anyone asks, the 1/256 bug was fixed in this generation. Caterpie can't get experience from avoiding Self-Destruct and Explosion because they actually _do_ have 100% natural accuracy here.
Thank you for your time.
Thanks, was wondering about it.

"All I must do is wait 2 decades and the iron hinges will rust and I can simply push door out."
Speaking of softlocks that you can do after beating the Champion, I'd really like it if you talk about that famous one caused by the Meister's trade in Gen 4. He wants a Finneon for his Magikarp. You need a Finneon with Surf (the move is needed to reach him), no fishing rods (Finneon requires a Good Rod, so get your Finneon from another game), nothing else that can learn Surf, nothing that has Teleport or can learn Fly, no Rare Candies, and no Poké Balls. Do the trade, save your game, and now you've just trapped yourself on that island in Route 226.
It's a super obvious softlock and I'm personally still shocked that Game Freak let this slip through the cracks. You don't even need to get rid of your money or other items like practically every other softlock here.
Day 239: Internal battery died. The game can be played but there will be no time events
Pikasprey with 239 ice berries: it... WHAT???

Skidaddle skadoodle you PP (no swearing in my Christian comment section) no longer exises
I just love how mathematical your speech is. Every arguement you have could not be missing, and every arguement needed is mentioned
Here's what you missed out: Because time is RTC-based, there's a 32.768KHz crystal oscillator found in the cartridge. Just crack open the cartridge, desolder the crystal, and put a correct-voltage waveform that is much faster than 32.768KHz on the XTAL IN and you can skip day-by-day with just a series of pulses.
Yes, but again at that point you're having to use something outside the game to even make the game playable in the first place. Might as well get a cheating device to escape
I could... think of at least 27 separate ways in which to solve the problem with less hassle. At least buying a japanese copy of a game doesn't require me to open the game up. Buying game genie would be easier. Technically, booting the game up daily would be easier, it don't take much active time, only passive time. You could manually change the save data if you're opening up the cartridge anyway. You might even be able to trigger the walk through walls glitch, and that's only less good if you really really dislike a negligible chance for your character to turn female. The list goes on.
That made me remember about my brother, he once walked through his bedroom walls and now I have a sister

Back in the old generation, there was also the option of mystery gifting. So you would only need another friend with a game boy, or if you have a N64, a copy of pokemon stadium 2. I'm certain that the item you get from mystery gifting would randomly choose an item for your localization, AKA, you can mystery gift with different region games to get items that won't corrupt your game. Hope this is another factor to look into for future soft locks!

In attempting this softlock pick, one will more than likely open your game, boot it up, pick a berry, and save and quit. Repeat that 239 times for 240 berries worth 1200 pokedollars. If you rush off to buy an ultra ball to catch something and forget to save, you'll be able to power off the console without saving and be brought back to the last time you saved, i.e. the day you picked your 239th berry.

My first video game ever was the original English release of Pokemon Blue on the Gameboy color. I'll have you know I didn't even have the knowledge of how to leave the house because my young mind couldn't comprehend what the 2D representation of a door was supposed to look like. I spent hours wandering around that room looking for an exit that was right in front of me. My parents had to call my older cousin to stop by and help me solve the puzzle. Of course, after seeing the solution I never had any more trouble with the franchise but that first experience haunts me to this day.

@@koroanime2091 Yup, 47 dialects. If you want to learn though, using the Tokyo dialect is enough.

Who the hell looked at this feature where you have to hold 3 specific buttons on the title screen and then enter a specific unique password and thought
"You know what, this feature is too accessible, lets hide it behind two extra button presses"
It's most likely a dev feature that was left in the international releases for some reason, since it's not in the Japanese version at all
Ethan becomes a trans girl, isolates herself in the League with her trusty Caterpie friend and becomes a peaceful berry farmer, living out her life in comfort surrounded by familiar people in a beautiful land. Though she insists she is on her way to escape, she is happy.
I love this
Living out the cottagecore life as she should be
@@hornetsilksong Glad to see people respecting trans pronouns here!
the trans rep we deserve!!
Why do you think the unchosen player in the remakes has a maril? Considering one in three male Azurils become female upon evolution?
how to make this slightly more cruel: make sure the caterpie is a shiny
You mean a LOT more cruel. Otherwise, nothing really stops one from just starting over.
Ouch...right in my shiny hunter heart...
Imagine being dedicated enough to get that berry every day for 239 days, only to boot it up on the 240th day and find that the internal battery has run dry.
Narus Ferree or doing it, buying an ultra ball, and the ball breaks in the first try
@@Tigerman4545 You can just save before you use the ball and reset if it fails.
Your character just transitioned into a better life :3
I thought using the Japanese version seemed excessive when you were talking about trading...but then you brought up the secret code, and it all made sense!
> Gen 2 is the one gen people DON'T ask for softlock videos on
> Pikasprey makes a softlock video about Gen 2
Stay awesome, Pik. :3
I think it's because of the Barry's
@@ddsjgvk Oof. Imagine that. Once you'd have escaped the Crystal softlock situation, you'd have 240 fines over 1.000.000 pokedollars each.
Make sure the caterpie is shiny, so that they have a reason to try to save it. MWAHAHAHAH
melehu I think you will find a replacement shiny within the minimum of 240 days, if you restart right away. Also, if it’s shiny you still have to trade it, and as we saw, trading looks incredibly annoying.
"Also, if it's shiny you still have to trade it"
Why would you need to trade it?
At that point I wouldn't care anymore tbh.
MarioManTj so you would keep a shiny caterpie on a game without any good Pokémon, almost no money, and no items?
I'm asking for a reason why you would trade it, I never said anything about keeping it. Can you explain the situation in which you would need to trade it?
15:05 For this particular tree, we can pick an Ice Berry, which heals a Pokémon's burn.
Great job! Now I know what an Ice Berry does.
I thought it healed freeze
wait really? i always thought it gave the TMTRAINER effect

Pikasprey has blessed us with another softlockpicking video. Thank you, kind sir.

I've broken the lock. In generation 2 games you can duplicate Pokemon an unlimited number of times. Just give the berry to the Caterpie and give it the ice berry. Here's how you do the glitch, save in front of a PC, then deposit a Pokemon, click change box, when it says, "SAVING DON'T TURN OFF THE POWER", turn off the power. Turn the game back on and you have the Pokemon in your PC and the other in your party, both have the same held item. You can do this an infinite number of times, so really, you only need 1 ice berry.
@@Mr.Phresh can't deposit your only Pokemon to have an empty party though
@@ParkaPal oh wow! How dumb of me. That's very true. How could I have not realized that. Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
So all I have to do to turn into a girl is walk into some walls? Why did no one tell me this earlier
ikr it woul've skipped me a gender change
nice to see you here osu man
If you were already a girl and you went through walls, I assume you would turn into a boy
Cause you'd end up in the backrooms
Actually it removes the braces from your peperroni pizza

gotta love it ngl
So, I believe that the reason as to why the Japanese releases of gen 2 don't have access to the clock reset function vs the international release is because Japan doesn't observe daylight savings time. It's not that the feature was removed, so to speak, but that it was added for the international release.
However, thinking about it further, the theory breaks down a bit because of the needed password that the average player just wouldn't know.
then again, you can change whether or not DST is active in your house in New Bark if I remember correctly.
Was looking for a comment like this, but not about Daylight Savings Time. You can activate that from your house.
Notably, though, Japan is also one timezone. It's possible you can activate the clock reset in the international release because many countries have more than one timezone, so if you move, you'd just be stuck with the game at a wildly different time.
Or it was just an oversight, who knows.
I was just thinking I needed another one of these

In either context i feel this answer is appropriate.

@@StephenG994 deez nuts
Have you seen modern mobile apps now these days?
Logging in to colect you're daily ice berry isn't as bad as it sounds.
Exactly my thoughts. If somenone is committed to that, he/she can probably push through with this too. It honestly just is turning your device on daily for a few minutes an then move on with life. You might have to walk to the shop clerk a few times to sell your max, but it is not really that bad.
Damn, beat me to it...
Welp, I mean yeah, but 8 months *without* fail?
@@Definitely_a_Foxwell it's not like failure forces you to restart, if you forget a day you just have to wait for 24 extra hours.
@@Definitely_a_Fox If you miss a day, the only consequence is that the schedule is just put back by one day. Whereas many mobile/social games have log-in bonuses that require you to enter for a number of consecutive days and reset that whole process if you miss one. So this soft-lock file is actually more *generous* in that sense.
10:05 Lol I remember coming home from vacation with a mareep (I was stoked) on my English version of Crystal.
The Mareep was called Voltilam since I traded it with a German version of the game.
Then a week later I read your files could be corrupted by trading with a different language.
It took me a month to realise my game wasn't gonna get corrupted anymore and now is jst smtn fun to remember since it's battery died XD
Mareep is wonderful.
240 days. A caterpie fan just had their dream come true.
