Imagine what Lorelei was thinking while you kept on fishing for magikarps in her room.
And then came back with a lvl 100 Gyrados to destroy her and the entire elite four, Lmao.
Classy Fish
"What is this guy doing? He threw it into the statue…what? This guy is really crazy."
Want "What the ****?! Where did he get such a strong Gyarados?!"
Hello police? I'm calling about suspicious activity in my gym...
Yeah, a ten year old boy is crouched next to my statue with a fishing rod, I think he stole it from the locals...
Yes, and he keeps on smashing a goldfish against something and yelling "SPLASH!"
Well the police would certainly get you out of Victory Road
11:10 Could you imagine how phenomenal the autobiography would be written by that Gyrados?
"I spent months on end being continuously exposed to explosions in a cave, dying endlessly while my master blacked out."
Absolutely brilliant.

That win against a suiciding enemy Pokémon:
*Magikarp wins by doing absolutely nothing.*
A wild Magikarp was seen wearing a green cap with a white patch on it. There appears to be a green L in the white patch, though some reports have said it's a V. Nobody knows where said Magikarp got the cap.

Gonna catch that event Magikarp
@@ardabilgin3269 The ultimate event Pokemon - it supposedly has a move called "do absolutely nothing" that acts like Protect, but with no PP and it will ALWAYS work.
Edit: It also always goes first.

@Fadtropolis yes
The last one is escapable but only on yellow version. You can go to the bottom floor of the Pokemon mansion and have a ditto transform. A level 12 ditto will have less than double HP and will always use splash. You can now grind for a gyarados and teach it surf to leave cinnabar
However, I realise that yellow probably isn't being fully included as pikachu is fixed for the most part
Problem should be different in Yellow. Release all Pokemon except for Pikachu. Now, solve for X.
The issue with that though is the Ditto will be at a higher level, and will also rely on Struggle to beat you. You would both start using it at about the same time, and the recoil from your attack combined with the hits from the higher level Ditto would faint your Magikarp before you could beat it.
Joshua Pyle it’s been a while but I thought enemy Pokémon didn’t run out of pp. that’s why metapod and kakuna will never stop using harden. I mean, I could be wrong about that, but I’m pretty sure that’s how it worked back then. I’ll check it out for myself to confirm whether or not they lose pp
Benjamin Brady Nevermind, disregard the below, enemies have infinite PP in Gen 1.
-Transform only gives Ditto 5 PP in each move. So after 5 rounds of Splash, Ditto gets to Struggle and you still have 35 Splashes left. Still possible I guess but you have to remember to run enough times to get a chance to attack.-
This guy would come back from the grave by fighting ancient invincible spirits for 100 years just to prove it was possible
The absolute spite and persistence behind levelling the Gyarados to level 100 and soloing your way to the Hall of Fame is honestly what got me into your channels (both Blue and Yellow) and I'm going to be here for a long time jsyk
This is incredibly amazing & definitely deserves 100% of the praise you're giving it, BUT I do want to give my 2 cents real quick. I have spent almost 20 years playing Pokemon games with different caveats, as there have been tools to edit which Pokémon are in the Starter Balls & stuff like that, so I have beaten the first 3 Gens SEVERAL times with just 1 Pokémon. My particular favorite run was starting with a Level 5 Sneasel in FireRed & soloing the entire game with just him. Definitely didn't realize how eclectic Sneasels move pool can be. Dude knew Thunderpunch, Ice Punch, Water Pulse, & Psychic by the end. Anyways, my entire point is to say that, when you use just 1 Pokémon in these games, by the time you beat the 1st Gym Leader, your solo Pokémon will be at least 5-10 levels above the other Trainers' Pokémon, & your solo Pokémon will get so much EXP by themselves that they will hit Level 100 VERY quickly, like Gym 5 or even sooner. So yes, what he did here was awesome & I still come back to this playlist all the time, but soloing a Pokémon game with ANY Pokémon is only difficult at the very beginning. As soon as he got a Gyrados, Gen 1 was over with.
As soon as he evolved Magikarp into Gyrados, the entire rest of the run was 1 shotting everything, especially if he taught Gyrados Ice Beam.
He almost certainly didn't level Gyarados to 100 in the way he claims though. He probably just Rare Candy cheated his way to a Level 99 Gyarados on a new save for demonstration purposes to highlight that it CAN be done that way. You're not going to grind for dozens of hours for 10 seconds of footage when you can get that exact same footage in a fraction of the time.
I kinda want to see Lorelai's reaction if you did that in reality
"I am Lorelai of the Elite Four" (you just ignore her and fish in her arena pool)
"......"
Its even funnier if you think of him fishing in the statue.

@@selectivepontification8766 xD
There's another possible softlock:
-Don't defeat the Channeler blocking off the third floor in Pokémon Tower
-Defeat every other trainer and Gym leader, pick up and throw all sellable items, make sure you can't make any money in any way. For that reason, play on either Red or Yellow so you can't milk Meowth for Pay Day.
-Make sure the Pokémon you have can't learn Fly.
-Release all of your Pokémon except those who can't learn any non-Normal type offensive moves, or have already passed the levels where they can. If you're making a troll save file, make them Pokémon such as a Gyarados who skipped on both Hydro Pump and Dragon Rage (by replacing them with Leer and Hyper Beam for instance). No need to release the free Eevee in Celadon (with no money and no evolution stones it can't evolve anyway). If you're playing on Yellow, trade away your Pikachu or level it up to 41 and skip on learning Thunder.
And now you're stuck. To reach Fuchsia City and thus gain the Surf and Strength HM which are necessary to finish the game, you need to awaken the two sleeping Snorlax, which means you have to free Mr.Fuji and obtain the Poké Flute.
But the Channeler in Pokémon Tower will battle you using Ghost type Pokémon, which you can't damage with any of your Normal-type moves, including Struggle which is Normal Type in Gen I.
The only HMs you can have at this point are Flash, Cut and Fly. But since you don't have (and can't catch) any Pokémon who can learn Fly, that's not an option. The Channeler's Pokémon won't even run out of PP, so they won't even Struggle themselves to death eventually, and have more than one move so you can't force them to struggle even if you somehow got a Pokémon who knows Disable.
If you want to throw the unfortunate player a bone, leave exactly one Casino coin. The player will have to savescum a bunch to win enough at the slots to get an Abra at the prize corner, and then switch-train it until it evolves into Kadabra and learns Confusion.
i cant believe this hasnt been attempted yet
Just a note, leveling Abra that way is completely unnecessary, as it's not your only Pokémon , so you'll be able to level it normally via Exp. Share or swapping
@@renatamaclean1163 Ah, right. Still gotta build up a lot of coins from a single one.
I think I found the exit, and although it needs grinding and preparation, it's an easy one. What you need is, to make things even so blatantly easy and less rng driven, a full party of 6 Clefairy. Clefairy is, in Gen 1, a Normal-type pokemon which learns all Normal-type moves except of Light Screen, a not-damaging not-Normal move which is allowed. So Clefairy can be captured and kept when releasing all other pokémons. It is also the only pokémon in the game to have access to the move Metronome by leveling up in Gen 1. So, even a low level Clefairy can gain exp through farming in the grass, reach level 36, learn Metronome and, with some rng, defeat the Channeler trainer blocking the way. But by your rules is even possible to have a full party of Clefairies, making the fight a breeze.
@@Adahn99 That is not an escape though, since you would have to pre-emptively catch a Clefairy BEFORE setting up the softlock.
>stuck at victory road with nothing but a lvl5 magikarp
>godmode it to a lvl100 gyrados

Red is just too cool for the game
ha so damn true hahah !
Thats where he fucked up. Should have left it a magikarp. Magikarp best pokemon.
"it was worried about you"
AAAWWWWWWWWWWW
Moral of the story: always get the old rod
Finally I've found the true meaning of the old rod.
I love this channel SO much
"Here's how to break the game and make it "impossible" to progress."
"Okay so now here's how to break that."
"Now here's a way I made it even more "impossible" and the fixed!."
"Her'es how I fixed it AGAIN."
Woah! My comment was highlighted in the video. And yeah, running is something I often forget can be done.
it'd be impossible to escape if you made magikarp level 100 and then deleted its other moves so it couldn't level up anymore, right?
move deleter does not exist in gen 1
You were also in Vietnamese Pokémon
Well, Elf “Mon” Ster, good job.
"A Splash is a Splash, you can't say it's only a half"
Holy crap u got it to lvl 100. No wonder this took so long to come out, keep making these they are dope.
Dedication
If I was him, I, would've just used cheats to make the gyarados level 99, and make every pokemon in victory road bear the max amount of exp possible
That's what he did. He didn't level up a Gyrados to 100 by relying on a 1/265 chance of something happening with a pokemon you're not sure to always encounter.
Fl4shbackz But after level 20 you wouldn't need to rely on that because you could just learn surf and strength through HM.

I think I know a way to get out of the last one, but it would only work in Yellow. First you'd have to save the game every step through Pokemon Mansion to guarantee no encounters until you reach the basement. In Yellow there are lvl 12 Ditto in the basement of the Pokemon Mansion, and if it uses Transform on you it copies all your stats except HP, learns Splash, and can never run out of PP. Then you might be able to Struggle Ditto to death before dying to recoil since it takes your lvl 5 Magikarp's DEF stat when it transforms.
That's awesome.
200 IQ plays
Neat idea, but wouldn't you kill yourself in recoil long before you kill the ditto? It is likely to have a lot more HP then your 'Karp.
@@stefanoperna231 I think you're right, Struggle does half damage in recoil in Gen 1 and a level 12 Ditto should have more than twice the hp of a level 5 Magikarp so it's probably still impossible. It was a good idea though.
I just tried it, and it does work. You often live on 1 HP in the early levels, but once you hit 10+ even level 18/24 Dittos can be taken down easily.
I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I'm guessing it has to do with how the game rounds things down.
Cinnibar Island just proves the old proverb:
Give a man a fish and he'll be stranded on an island forever.
Give a man an old rod and he'll get a Level 100 Gyarados.
At least I think that's the proverb.
Proverbs are dumb.
It is:
"Give someone a fish, they have a meal.
"Teach them to fish, they have many more."
Why are proverbs dumb? They give words of wisedom
woooosh

@@manuelvaldez4084 ehh some not.
He could have went to the mansion, looked for Ditto, and had it transform into his Magikarp. Transform in gen 1 also copied the opposing Pokemon's stats so the level wouldn't be an issue. Also, the gen 1 games didn't calculate the opposing Pokemon's PP, so the Ditto would be endlessly splashing like Nigel from The Wild Thornberries and you could be free to splash for 40 turns and then struggle until the Ditto fainted, giving you some decent exp. Get Magikarp to evolve and then teach it surf. Boom. Escape from Cinnabar Island.

Michael Bush hahaha xD that’s great
In Yellow, it’s technically possible to get out of the last one. If one can manage to get themselves into the B1F of the Pokémon Mansion without encountering any other Pokémon, you could then find a Ditto.
Let it Transform, you eventually Stuggle, rinse and repeat.
This is indeed impossible in Red/Blue, however.
Some extra clarification. In order to rid the Yellow of your starting Pikachu (since your unable to release it in Yellow), you simply need to trade it to Red/Blue. In those games it’s any other Pikachu.
Except you would die from recoil before you could take a good chunk out of Ditto's HP.
You wouldnt be able to defeat it tho cause ditto has 5 pp on struggle and after that it would destroy your marigkarp, however if this ditto misses all its struggles you would win but that preeeety unlikely
Technically you could use splash and escape while the other pokemon has the 1/256 chance of missing. So you had to have this glitch happen 40 times in order to use struggle against a wild pokemon which uses all it's attacks up by the same chance and...u still die before you can struggle it to death... welp :/ it truly is impossible i guess
Max Your statement contradicts yourself. "Wouldnt be able to defeat" "would win but that preeeety unlikely"

Here from tiktok but this is the video I’ve been looking for ever since I first played Pokémon about 9 years ago. I pretty much did this same thing accidentally because I didn’t know how to play. My buddy told me it was impossible because I could do any damage and so I deleted the game and started again. This memory has plagued my every waking moment because I knew in my heart it was possible. Thank you Pikasprey!

It was super interesting how you proved these possible to escape
The last one he said was impossible ye? Why don’t you just encounter a ditto and exhaust the pp and struggle your way out? If I’m wrong about the Dittos in the mansion I’m sorry but I remember being able to encounter dittos there.
Comrade Stalin No because the ditto will be a higher level, and it will only have 5 pp on splash. It will struggle first and kill you before you get a chance to damage it
Gen 1 enemies / wild pokemon had unlimited pp.
Only you (the player) had pp limitations.
Although I'm not sure if your magikarp had enough hp to defeat a ditto in the mansion.
yeah it's not possible. Magikarp will indeed die because the ditto has way more hp

I am surprised that nobody thought to do this in cerulean city.
Save in cerulean City, before defeating your rival. Heal in the pokemon center, waste all your items and money and you are stuck.
You get no kakuna or metapod to waste all Splash PP and the wild pokemons are too strong to be defeated with Struggle. (minimum level is 6 in this area). Trainers in the arena are too strong as well.
You can't advance forwards because of the rival neither backwards because of the ledges on route 4. You can't fish a level 5 Magikarp as the old rod is not available yet.
This may even work in fire red and leaf green as you get no HM at this stage of the game, so you can freely release everything and trap yourself.
you heard it pikasprey!
There is actually always a way. Do what they do when doing TAS speed runs, if you have insane luck you can defeat the Pokemon in the wild. After a long ass time of horrible grinding, it is possible that magikarp would be able to defeat the opponents easier until level 15 and then it's too easy.
Then you could evolve it and it's game over for that theory.
@@Nellak2011 how it would defeat a wild Pokémon? missing all their attacks while you waste 40 pp of splash? and still, do they have less than double HP than Magikarp?
Javiercar Exactly that plus the fact those pokemon learn non-damaging moves. Tail Whip for Rattata, Growl+Leer for Spearow and Leer for Ekans (Red version).
So you would have to be lucky that they either miss their attacking moves or just spam stat moves while you deplete your PP and then use struggle. Seems insane, but it's technically possible.
If you have an old rod you can avoid all this btw

*Creepypasta Begins*
4:20 That way your Magikarp will eventually EVOLVE (after 1000 years of struggle fighting until Magikarp learn Tackle that make's it a bit easier) AND YOU WILL BECOME THE CHAMP WITH A LEVEL 100 GYARADOS
Kaneki Ken 420 xd
That's honestly not as many as would have guessed.
290 multiplied by 40 for just the splash is 11600. JUST FOR THE SPLASHES add in the 290 times of healing, running back in, and the chance of even fishing the Karp. (Why did Game Freak even let the Rods have a chance of failing anyway?)
anyway, just take that 11600 and multiply it by the number of seconds ( to get a more accurate count, the dividing by 60, then taking the whole number from that and dividing it by 60 to determine the number of HOURS, MINUTES, AND SECONDS you took.) it takes to use 40 splashes, then the turns of struggle, not to mention the times that your Karp might have been out sped in the first level or 2 and you wind up with a lot more time being used and more Karps being encountered.
My pp is exhausted
Kaneki Ken anyone else realize the time was 420?? No? Just me? Ok...
"Pokémon came back because he was worried about you" So sweet
Watching these soft locks are absolutely hilarious and awe inspiring. Keep it up!

-_-
In the gen 4 games, there's an island with no encounters that is surrounded by water in the battle resort.
If you skip the old rod and only bring a finneon with surf to that island, you can trade the finneon to the man inside of a house there to get a Magikarp. From here there is no way to encounter anything and you'll be trapped.
Here’s one:
-Train a magikarp/caterpie/metapod to level 100 without letting it evolve
-Use the same setup as the second softlock in this video to get yourself stuck at the Pokémon league
As you can only learn normal type damaging moves, defeating Agatha is completely impossible. Her Pokémon will never run out of pp, struggle can’t hit ghosts in gen 1, and you’re at level 100 so you can’t evolve and learn any other attacks.
Ice Beam would wreck Metapod and Caterpie.
This doesnt work. At level 100, you can maybe defeat Lorelei (with the 1/256 glitch there is always a chance), get money, buy Ultra Balls, catch new Pokémon.
Actually, I believe you would HAVE to catch the metapod AS A METAPOD for this to work. Caterpie gets tackle by level-up (according to bulbapedia) in gen 1, metapod only gets two moves by level-up as well, so you can't get rid of tackle, and since Lorelei comes first and you're at level 100, you'll probably be able to outfight her (as you're almost twice her level, even WITH a caterpie/metapod), hence getting you money and ending the softlock. I haven't played gen 1 or tested this, but would it not work this way? So I think you'll need to catch a metapod without evolving it. :P
Boombox 857 well kinda. You can outfight the game with at least +10lvl. And since you've beaten Lorelei, you've got money. And even when you loose against agatha, Lorelei gives you more than enough money (+5k) that you can get pokeballs.
But then, you could just farm victory road with your level 100 PoKeMon.
The patience of this man is astonishing

The way Mr.Elf Monster was said reminds me of how "TJ Henry Yoshi" was said in the Mario 64 half a press vid
The Magikarp lock is easier to escape than the Lorelei's Room Lock.
Everything is easier to escape than the Lorelei's Room Lock. That scenario is so insane, numbers had to be invented!
IIRC, you could cancel an evolution by hitting a button. So now escape after you've taken magickarp to lvl100 without evolving it.
MaxRavenclaw Nah, even if you take it to lvl255, you can't win

Before watching this video I saw people talking about this on TikTok and needed to see it for myself
You forgot to say "Save your game after doing these steps"
Well, Save Scumming can undo everything, so it’s _kinda_ obvious.
Okay, I think I've got one that's impossible to get out of. This is similar to the Indigo Plateau trap with Magikarp, except one big difference, Ninetails instead of Magikarp.
1. Catch a Vulpix and teach it Roar at lvl 21
2. Use TMs so that the rest of its move pool will consist of Double Team, Reflect, and Substitute.
3. Evolve it to Ninetails
4. Leave yourself no way to gain money or items (including no rods obviously)
5. Fly to the Indigo Plateau
6. Release all of your Pokemon except for Ninetails
7. Use the Pokemon Center at Indigo Plateau.
Here's why you can't escape. Ninetails, unlike Gyarados, can't learn Strength or Surf, so there's no way to get through Victory Road, it also can't learn Fly, so you can't escape that way. Ninetails doesn't learn any moves through level up, and since you got rid of all your TMs, you can't teach it anything new. With the move pool I listed, you won't be able to deal any damage to the Elite Four until you get struggle. Even if Lorelei manages to miss every single attack, allowing you to actually lose all your PP, Substitute will reduce you to 25% health so there's absolutely no way you could past all 5 trainers even if you leveled up to 100.
Zorthax teach it cut or strength or a different hm
Ninetales can't learn any of the Gen 1 HMs.
That actually might just work. I'll have to try it out
More of these please. These are fun. Do this with gen 2
I like how thorough you are with the steps you take for everything, it makes everything very easy to follow
Leveling the Magikarp to 100 stops all of these workarounds.
CapacitatedFlux it’ll still learn tackle
@@savagewolfcubing386 totally forgot moves can't be deleted in Gen 1. Man. There's a QOL I took for granted.
@@savagewolfcubing386 Would Tackle be enough to beat Lorelei though? Hard to say.
Love the vids and especially the commentary. Your so relaxed yet enthusiastic. Very enjoyable style. Love the content keep it up.
Haha! Someone should make a internet meme or comic about red completly ignoring lorelei and constantly fishing and grinding a dumb battle between the magestic Magicarps!!
Also the humiliation of actually losing to one of them aswell
Hello police? I'm calling about suspicious activity in my gym...
Yeah, a ten year old boy is crouched next to my statue with a fishing rod, I think he stole it from the locals...
Yes, and he keeps on smashing a goldfish against something and yelling "SPLASH!"
박강현 I soo agree xD

In Pokémon Yellow you can escape Cinnabar Island by having Dittos transform into your magikarp, and then since they will only know splash you will be able to use your own splash until it runs out of PP and then struggle. Now I know what you’re thinking, the Ditto will only have 5 PP with splash, so won’t it struggle you to death before you even get the chance to struggle? No. No it will not. In generation 1, there was a glitch where the Pokémon you’re fighting will never lose PP from using an attack, so the Ditto will not be able to struggle you. And even if it did lose PP and struggle you, there’s a very simple solution. All you have to do is use your splash until Ditto uses up the 5 PP it has in splash, and then run before it does damage with struggle. After that, just find another Ditto and keep repeating until you eventually get enough experience to learn tackle, and then it’s smooth(ish) sailing from there
There is just one problem: Transform, while copying magikarps stats, doesn't copy magikarps HP. Since the ditto is obviously way higher level struggle will not in any way, shape or form kill the ditto since it just has too much health. Otherwise it would be a good plan.
and also, you must remember that in yellow you have an unseparable pikachu
wertyuser actually you can deposit Pikachu in Yellow
@@junai3618 OUCH
potato
@@wertyuser798 You can always use an outside source for this issue and deposit your Pikachu in your Stadium 1 or 2 box, if you can't release it in-game.
3:46 "Elf Monster" probably refers to Oak's name (I shit ye not) in "Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal", featured in JonTron's Bootleg Pokémon Games episode.
If you're doing softlockpicking, are you doing other generations? If so, there is a softlock in generation 4 where you (after removing all items and outside Pokemon) trade your surfing Pokemon, finneon, for a magikarp. You can't get off the island, as you haven't received the fishing rod yet. Can you try it? If you need to find the exact softlock search "Platinum game over"
But... Help from outside sources (including trading) is banned from this. I believe this also applies to using other games to aid you getting INTO a softlock.
Kyle Schneider It's an in game trade
You need a fishing rod to get a Finneon to get stuck to begin with. As such, you'll always have an escape, either by grinding on fishing encounters to Gyarados, or whiting out and warping to a Pokémon Center.
Hooded Roxas In that case, you're correct. Nonetheless, I wonder if he would try it despite the need for a trade to get the initial finneon.
Considering how many soft locks you can do with trades or cheating devices, I'm sure you can set up any Pokemon game in certain positions that would create one, so it's sort of on the border of "Yes, it can happen, but do I really want to cover every single situation." Of course, considering that if he wants this to become a true series, eventually he will run out of in-game soft locks and will have to continue somehow, so what better way than stretching the setups beyond the game, even going so far as to cheat in stuff and leaving it as the challenge that he has to break out of. More like video game Houdini, escaping from his own created pitfalls.
Pikasprey Yellow: fishes in the indigo plateau
Lorelei: Ah shit here we go again
the guy named elf monster was a reference to the bootleg pokemon "vietnamese crystal" a heavily broken translation of pokemon crystal in which pokemon are referred to as "elf monsters"
"Exhausting its pp"
This one might be easy to get out of without me realizing but here's something I came up with for Gold/Silver/Crystal:
1. Get as far as the Pokemon League, defeating each and every trainer in Victory Road (heal at the league so you'll always come back there after blacking out)
2. As per usual get rid of all your items, TMs, and money
3. Be sure to have a Chansey/Blissey with Softboiled and only Softboiled (use the move deleter in Blackthorne to rid away the other moves)
4. Once the other steps are done, release all your Pokemon aside from the Chansey/Blissey
5. Go into the elite four; since Chansey and Blissey are special tanks, can only heal (if you didn't cheat and only gave it Softboiled), and are up against special attacking Pokemon then the only way to get out is through Struggle once you're out of PP at which point you will slowly but surely lose.
Feel free to try it out~
gen 2 has phone calls for trainer rematches and indigo plateu has a man with an abra to teleport you back home
just wait until youngster joey calls to battle his top percentage rattata and battle it, thus gaining money again to buy a pokeball and catch something better than a chansey
Damn, I forgot about that. Oh well, I tried.
The Chansey/Blissey should be level 100 (or at the level when they don't have any moves left to learn) as well so there's no chance of PP stalling something in Victory Road until you level up and learn something else.
*+Team Rocket* No only that but if am not wrong then using Chansey instead of Magikarp in the Cinnabar island trap should work better because Ditto then would get Soft-boiled and with how the AI works in the first games would be impossible to defeat.
megagutsman But then that Chancey could just struggle kill something else in the mansion because Chansey actually has good stats
I have watched all of these videos multiple times. Some of the best Pokemon content on RUclips. Hope we get more some day.
1:42 D...does that plant seriously have more money than you?

This isn't Pokemon related, but I think it's cool to talk about. In Sonic Adventure DX for the GameCube after beating Emerald Coast as Sonic I glitched my way into twinkle Park early. I did it by jumping under the panel that would usually go down a bunch of times, but I've seen other people replicate the glich by doing something else. Anyway, this allowed me to beat twinkle park early. After beating the stage. I became stuck forever in the tubes that lead to twinkle park.
Softlock:I can’t be escaped
Pikasprey Yellow:allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
You deserve so many more subscribers for all the pain you put yourself through.
I literally just found this video randomly and dude, I am not sorry I clicked on here. I was thoroughly entertained :) you my good sir have earned yourself a subscriber
I have an idea for how to soft lock your save in the remakes.
1. Catch an Abra
2. Surf or Fly to Cinnabar Island
3. Pick up and toss every item that can be obtained there as well as every item you already have
4. Use Cinnabar's Pokemon Center
5. Waste your money until you have less than 200 Pokedollars
6. Fly to Fuchsia City and get rid of all of your Pokemon's HM moves with the move deleter
7. Teleport back to Cinnabar Island
8. Release all of your Pokemon besides the Abra
Luigi Linguine
No move deleter in Gen I.
Gen I doesn't have a move deleter, but the remakes are in Gen III and have a move deleter.
Easy. You always have a fishing rod and you can't get rid of HMs. Not sure if the move deleter matters even, since you can just use the Cinnabar pokecenter one last time so your teleport lands there.
Well, you don't always have one of the fishing rods. If he ignores picking the rod up, he can't train the Magikarp to level up all the way to 20, where Gyarados can learn Surf, making it impossible to escape, unless you can somehow make it to the basement floor of Pokémon Mansion with the Magikarp and have Magikarp somehow take down a Ditto many many times.
There actually is a way, but almost impossible to a human. See, in gen 1, your have a pixel position but also a sub pixel one. If it happened that your sub pixel value is imperfect (ex. 0,01) (it only happense if your game glitches) and you place yourself in a corner, try going to the wall left or right of you but by pressing down+B, you can clip out of bounce. Then, go inside any building and save. Then reset. Your game value cant tell where you are and sends you to the exact pixel you started at ( your house). It is extremely tof to pull it off and no one ever did it. Only by changing the game sub pixel value in the game data can work, but just maybe, your game glitches just the right time and here u go. Challenge complete.
This is complete bullshit.
I like the way you think
@@jfb- its not, i've heard of this before. gen 1 pokemon is full of glitches.
Congrats on finding your way through the soft locks! I can't believe you had the patience to level that Gyarados up!
"The use of outside help such as cheating devices and connecting to other games will not be allowed."
*Poketips dies*
I love how so done you sound. Seems like levelling up Magikarp the tedious way has taken some toll. 😂
legend says
if you escape this super difficult magikarp softlock and get the magikarp to lv20
it will evolve into a golden gyarados. a legendary variant of a gyarados.
golden gyarados has twice the base stats of a normal gyarados
easily overpowering mewtwo in terms of base stats and outspeeds everyone in gen 1
the move "splash" for golden gyarados is changed into "tsunami" and this new deadly, super broken, super cheap water type move does 250 base damage (same as explosion) but with no side effects. despite it's sheer power it also has 40PP just like splash.
golden gyarados 4x weakness to lightning is replaced with 4x healing from lightning attacks.
These are so much fun! Your videos bend my mind haha
I thought of a trap: strand yourself with nothing but a level 5 Magikarp in Lavender Town. Here's the setup:
1) Buy the Magikarp from the dude at the Mt. Moon Poké Center.
2) DON'T GET the Old Rod.
3) Play just until you reach Lavender Town, and don't go any farther.
4) Get rid of all your other Pokémon, items, and money.
5) Heal at the Poké Center, then save.
Now you're stuck. You don't have the Old Rod, so you can't fish for Magikarp to Struggle-fight; you can't access Celadon City because in order to get through Route 8, you have to beat at least one of the trainers blocking the way on the east side; you can't last against anything in Rock Tunnel long enough to Struggle it to death; and you can't fight anything in Pokémon Tower without the Silph Scope.
BEAT THAT
This is the LockPickingLawyer and today, I'm picking Pokemon Red Version using only a magikarp
I've never been so proud of someone for having no life.
In all seriousness. Holy sh!t dude.
OK, don't know if this would actually work, I feel like there's gotta be some manner of safeguard in play, but here we go- softlocking Black and White.
1: Pick Tepig as your starter.
2: Play through up to Striaton Gym, making sure to grab all available items and battling every accessible Trainer, including getting the Pansage from the Dreamyard.
3: Beat Cress.
4: Get rid of all your items and money.
5: Release all your Pokémon except Tepig.
You should now be stuck forever. You need Cut to proceed into the Dreamyard, but Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar can't learn it. You can't trade even if you have a full team of six because you need the C-Gear to trade and this is just before you would get it. The free elemental monkey can learn Cut, but you already grabbed it and released it. Wild Patrat won't help because you have no Poké Balls and can't afford more. Barring that Mystery Gift DNS exploit deal, you are absolutely stuck. In theory, anyway. I don't know if the games have a safeguard in play against this. I mean, it's the very next games after HGSS, the games that became known for the anti-softlock gift Tentacool, so one would think they considered this possibility.
I liked this video because of the pure grind you put yourself through.
This deserves more credit than people give it, everyone should give this man a like his videos are insane!!!
The only way out of the Cinnabar Island Magikarp Trap is if you are playing Yellow version. Because if you are playing Yellow, there are Ditto in there. Simply let Ditto transform, exhaust Splash's PP, and train up until evolving. Ditto is only there in Yellow version, so if you are playing Red/Blue you are truly trapped.
if you're playing yellow you have pikachu
As part of the set up, you would release it with the rest of your Pokemon aside from Magikarp [which is the same as the setup shown here]. As far as I know, and do correct me if I'm wrong, it's not impossible to release it. If it is, then the setup would simply call for trading it away [which I am fairly certain you can].
you can trade it away, true
You can escape Cinnabar Island in any version, as all moves can miss. If you got extremely lucky, you could wait for any Pokémon to repeatedly miss for forty turns, then Struggle. You'd be better off playing Dark Souls 100%, then watching any Soap Opera in entirety.
@@lunathedungeonmaster4720 But struggle recoil would get you first
Holy shit you go so far for this.... the nostalgia is hitting hard and I'm loving it.
My mind went straight to Cinnabar Island when you brought up Magikarp, but it's insane how you were able to get out of so many situations!
