  • Could Ash Ketchum have become champion all the way back in Kanto?
    For decades, Ash has aimed to be a Pokemon Master. And recently, he finally achieved his dream of becoming the best pokemon trainer in the world.
    But I believe that Ash could have been the champion all the way back in kanto, if he knew what he was doing. So I decided to play through Pokemon Yellow as Ash, using only his pokemon. Its not quite a hardcore nuzlocke, because that would have been a bit too difficult I think. Even so, the run is plenty hard. Lets see if Ash has what it takes.

    Still early in watching the video, but regarding the Brock fight: When I was a small child playing Yellow for the first time, I remember beating Brock and waiting at the edge of town for him to come join my party like he does in the anime. I remember I kept walking toward Mt. Moon and then going back toward the City because I was confused about when he'd show up to come with me ahaha.

    The reason even stage 1 pokemon can get so strong in Gen 1 is the extremely busted EV system. Since there is no cap in Gen 1 you will most likely max out all EVs during the level grinding, making your Pokemon really strong. Theres a reason they added a cap later.

      ​@@frokydafroakiealso, the stats increase according to the square root of the "EV" (called stat xp in this gen). So it's equivalent to having 255 EV in modern games.
      Also stat xp is calculated by adding the base stats of the poke, so most defeats gives 50-100 stat xp in each stat

    You could have abused the badge boost glitch to make up for your Pokémon not evolving.
    Basically all badge boosts are reapplied whenever your stats are raised or lowered.
    For example the Boulder Badge increases your attack by 12.5%. Let’s say you get hit with a sand attack, your attack would increase again. You actually used the badge boost glitch unknowingly. Every time you used double team against Surge, Pikachu’s attack increased due to you having the boulder badge. Now if you actually know about said glitch then you probably did this on purpose.
    Once you get the volcano badge getting one of your stats lowered will increase all your stats. It’s pretty friggin hilarious and so fun to abuse.

    ash really did have a really weird habit of just randomly throwing his pokemon away when they actually got strong, like he has some compulsive need to never actually have decent pokemon. Maybe that's why he didn't let most of his pokemon evolve? If they stay weak then his neurosis won't kick in and force him to throw away his now more powerful pokemon? Congrats on the run, it was amusing, and it was neat to see that elite 4 sweep

    In Gen 1 the damage calculations for move effectiveness are correct, but the message only accounts for the secondary type of the defending Pokémon. Since Bulbasaur is Grass/Poison, Poison moves show as “Not Very Effective” because they’re not very effective against poison, even though they do the correct damage.

    About the Double Kick/Acid being "super effective" to Pidgeotto/Bulbasaur. They were not really super effective, but since the text is triggered by comparing the type of the move with the types of the hit pokemon in order and displayes effectiveness as soon as it can it gets wierd.
    If a pokemon is hit by an attack that is super effective against it's first type but not very effective against its second type, say the grass-poison type Bulbasaur being hit by the move Acid, the game will display the super effective message before comparing the move type with the pokemons secondary typing.
