Yeah exactly. I was really trying to emphasize that in the video because while we all know its still popular today, the absolute mania back then was different. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate you.
The only thing that was similar was the initial Go era They're so ossified at this point I don't know what new energy they could put in to bring back the hype
I will always cherish the memories from the first few years of Pokémon. Despite wishing I’d bought more products then, as cliché as it might sound, the memories are priceless. Incredible video, really enjoying this style!
I was also 7 when pokemon dropped and also living in washington state. I remember riding my bike to the local card shop once or twice a week with money my brother and i got from doing chores for our grandparents. They teamed up with our parents to buy us red and blue. Every rumor there was came with the "my uncle works for nintendo" claims as NOA wasnt very far away and it was plausible. Going to school everyday was filled with kids with gameboys trading to fill in the pokedex while others played the card game and traded cards. What a truly remarkable time to be that age. I still play red and blue quite often and even though i own fire red and leaf green, i still prefer the originals. I know its purely nostalgia but they will never be surpassed. Amazing video
Not to get tooooo personal but what city/town were you living in at the time? I was in Kirkland. You sound so much like me lol. I fell for "uncle works for nintendo" stuff all the time. That literal line too. I was so gullible. The card shop I used to go to actually shut down because the owner tried burning his own place for insurance money and got caught lol. I remember my mom telling me that and I didn't believe her. I thought she was just avoiding taking me. So shes like "Alright lets go" and sure enough you could see the scorching marks and boarded up windows. Thank you for watching and commenting with your story and kind words. I really appreciate you. If we're as similar as it sounds... you'll like my next video ;)
@Livvvid while i was watching the video all i could think of was "man this is basically just like me" hahaha i grew up in Ellensburg. Going to the seattle area was always a something filled with wonder. The trees, hills, water, skyscrapers, and the bustling of people made it feel like an entirely different universe compared to Ellensburg. Sucks to hear your card shop got shut down but so did mine lol not sure exactly what happened to it but by the time i left in 2007 it was gone too. Ill definitely give your next video a watch to and ill hit the subscribe button to help you out with the numbers and algorithm lol cheers for the great city of Bellingham
Banger of a video! I love longer form content to have on in the background and listen to while I play games and this one was perfect for my morning coffee and ranked game. Keep doing what you're doing, love the videos!
Thanks jake,. This is my longest one yet and took a lot of work but I'm mostly happy with it. I still remember you comment from my short gen 2 video....... Perhaps we'll talk about the johto-kanto stuff ;)
I was born in 1987 and got hit with the pokemon craze hard when I was a kid. I had pokemom Red which was easily my most played gameboy game, I collected the cards and watched the anime. Even now till this day I will go back and play either gen 1 or 2 during the holidays between November and January because of the nostalgia it brings me. Gen 1 is still absolutley playable.
This was a REALLY cool video!!! As someone who’s in the younger age demographic. (My first Pokémon was gen 6- But i SOMEHOW played gen 1 afterwards after finding a Pokémon red cartridge with my hand me down GBA) I’ve always had a soft spot for gen 1 despite it! It’s just a really scrappy, rough around the edges yet charming experience! (Plus the VC releases of gen 1 & gen 2 doubled my enjoyment of them!)
Wowwww thats so cool!!! I give you kudos for being able to play Red AFTER coming in during gen 6. You have a really open mind. Yeah we both agree gen 1 is rough. I didn't pull any punches. But I still think the mechanics and choice hold up really well and make them fun still. I should have just said it in the video but I own 2 copies of every gen 1 and 2 game cart AND 2 3DS's that have all 6 VC versions on them so I can trade with myself. Hey, its my money and I'll do what I want with it ;) lol
@@LivvvidOH neat about having all the VC’s!!!! I only have silver and blue, but my sister has yellow and crystal so THANKFULLY the pokedex’s are somewhat completable. But yeah!!! I guess I really did have a open mind- I remember REALLY loving how good Nidoking was in Gen 1 and using him like every play-trough. I think the only thing that actually irked me was the GBA only allowing Pokémon red to have a red color palette, but that’s really no one’s fault lol.
Quality video, exactly the kind of content I enjoy watching. I was 16 went Gen 1 came out and I was excited for it to arrive since Nintendo Power had been hyping it up for almost a year. I stepped away from the game when I left for college and then back into the game after I became a father and my son became old enough to enjoy the game. He will be graduating high school this spring and we go every weekend and play the TCG at different shops. It’s been awesome to experience Pokemon with him and rekindle my love for the series at the same time.
Thank you so much for the kind words man. And thats a unique perspective, that you were 16 and still enjoyed it. I love the part about your kid too thats awesome. I briefly got into the TCG back when HGSS sets came out. The art was asbolutely beautiful and I actually really enjoyed the gameplay, but the one friend that played with me moved to Texas and I couldn't play anymore.
My 30 year old friend had NEVER played pokemon, I let her borrow a (unmodded)Gameboy Color and Pokemon Blue. She lost her shit with excitement within 10 minutes lol This games hold up remarkably well, and if you have not played modern Pokemon games with all the QoL improvements you don't even know that you're missing them.
Exactly. idk if you made it to the end of the video but I say the same thing. lots of the issues aren't even noticeable if you're playing casually and know nothing of the series. I also had a friend play yellow last year and I basically just watched him do a live blind lets play and it was so fun. He loved it. Thank you for watching and commenting, you're awesome.
pokemon blue was the first pokemon game that I discovered way back early 2000s, my playmate borrows a gameboy color from his friend and I just watch him how to play and its very interesting since graphics those days for a handheld was amazing
I was 8 when my parents sent me to a small town in México back in 97. Whenever I would go to the city with my mom, I would see posters and knockoff figures in mom and pop shops. Eventually, my dad came over for Christmas in 98 and gave me a red Gameboy Pocket with Mario Land, Fist of the North Star, and Pokémon Blue. Nobody in that small town knew what I was holding, but we're intrigued. Then I met one kid (stuck in the same situation as me), and he had Pokémon Red, so we became fierce rivals on everything Pokémon!
Great video mate its always fun to watch these kind of history videos. I grew up with gen 3 and the Mew rumours were like the Jirachi rumours Kanto is my favoriete Region you can feel the passion of Game Freak Satoshi his dream became a reality changed the VideoGame industry forever
I like your Pokemon videos dude. I hope you’re able to grow a large audience, keep it up because the quality is there. I recently replayed Gen 1 on the Delta emulator on my iPhone and although there are some awful quality of life hindrances (item storage and weird move typings like gust being normal??) it’s still a very solid game and laid the foundation for the beloved franchise. I think my favorites are Gen 3.
I was a full on Pokemon nerd from Day one and it certainly was an experience. It where the few positive moments I had in my childhood when I could defeat my Bullies with my Pokemonteam.
I think the ability to chose makes the best games. Games like fallout nv and the older pokemon games allowing you to actually play the game within a reaonable ammount of time makes the experience that much better. I wish more games would do that.
Good. I'm glad I'm in the category lol. I just try to add my personality and opinions to set myself apart. So that people like you don't go "He sounds like every other retrospective I've listened to"
Thank you dust. I'm glad I'm something you enjoy while gaming, thats what I do myself with content lol. I would like to do my first nuzlock as a stream/video one day. I think it'd be really fun. What game are you doing it on?
@@Livvvid I'm running Emerald. It's my first time playing it, too! I had Sapphire as a kid and played the remakes, but never Emerald. I'm not sure if "fun" is the right word I'd choose based on my experience so far.. lmao!! The grind is so tedious... I'm knocking at the door of my 4th badge and I've logged 42 hours so far. O___O I know I could speed it up, but I don't want to use cheats or fast-forward. I'm also treating it like I'm in the world, like no looking up gym leader's teams, checking what Pokemon are available where, etc. I hope you decide to do a run for yourself! I will tell you that without a doubt, gym battles have NEVER felt so intense. I have played ever gen since RBY, and never have I ever felt my heart racing during a gym battle like it did during my first three matches, nor have I felt so accomplished after pulling off a victory. Take the plunge, mate! And keep the excellent content coming, please! Subscribed! ✌
I'm glad you like them and appreciate you believing in me. Early subs like you help immensely. Any games you want to see next? They don't have to be pokemon.
@@LivvvidI’m simple. I’ll watch anything Pokemon. Would like to see what you’d do with gen 3. Timeline videos are great. Maybe videos where you go behind the lore of cool Pokémon. Like how does the Pokémon media reference lapras going from brink of extinction to available in the wild semi regularly? I always thought about putting out videos like these but I don’t have the patience to edit. How long does each video take to get clips for?
I'm excited about gen 3 because I never sank my teeth into it much outside of the gen 1 remakes. It was at a time where I got older and into other IPs like Yu Gi Oh and the original xbox Halo. but I want to stream myself playing RSE and edit the videos from there. Do you think you'd care if I did videos exactly like this one but recorded from a stream where you could see me at the bottom left when I used footage? I would still narrate over it, have music, and edits just like this. As far as how long it takes to edit, really not that long man. Not to me at least. This one took me probably 6 hours but it went by quick. My videos that are sub 10 minutes only take 2 hours max. I actually enjoy the editing process because I can be creative and have fun with it. My least favorite part is recording the audio. Thats the most time consuming part. Writing the script then reading it can be really annoying lol.
Samdshrew was such a powerhouse that i missed out on whilst my siblings had blue and i was still not using mankey, nor would i use any fire type other than charmander.
"UNPLAYABLE" is the funniest thing ever and me personally, I love the way it was set up as a kid because think about it what Pokémon type makes sense to be overpowered? Physics! and there’s not that many of them so like it made it feel cool
Yeah. Admittedly It's not the main group of criticism, but I see it from time to time and it pisses me off. Same kind of people who say the same thing about Ocarina of Time because speedrunners know so many glitches. Like cmon. You'll never encounter those glitches in casual play lol.
Hey Saiyan thank you. Thats a huge compliment. But people like you are showing up and subbing. The work it took for the video has been worth it. I'm excited to bring you more.
great video. i just turned 35 and have fallen out of love with pokemon but still have nothing but fondness for gen 1 and 2. I'm not sure what exactly changed but even as recently as sun and moon i was enjoying the experience but starting with sword and shield idk i guess I'm just too old now or something but this was great i love how chill it was and really sent me back to when pokemon felt so new and unknown maybe thats what is maybe ive just lost that sense of wonder with the series going forward alas lol
Hey Jenko. I'm about to turn 33 in a couple weeks. You aren't alone. I actually point to sun and moon to where I heavily lost interest. I like the location, designs, and pokemon from that generation but the game themselves i cannot stand. For me it just continually went downhill. Thank you for watching the video and for the kind words.
If you like games as Zelda BotW, you've probably not lost the wonder. I personally have fallen out of love with the more recent gens (Sun was also the last one I bought). I personally think that the new games don't give room to wander and wonder. Routes and towns feel more as a checklist of obstacles and services in stead of places in a fictional world. The reduction of (post game) content since the games went 3D is widely discussed on youtube and elsewhere, but X&Y still had a point of view that made small routes feel a bit larger, because you couldn't see the next town ahead of you. From Sun&Moon onwards the world not only looks tiny, but also feels like it (or is incredibly empty and stretched out)
hey bart. I think you'll like my content because you sound a lot like me. I'm working my way up the gens and will explain where I think the series totally fell off. I do play zelda! I have a couple of zelda videos and I'de like to keep doing videos on them and get into longer form content about them as well.
Awesome video mate. Back in the christmas of 98 when I first got my blue version it was mind blowing haha. My game boy got a work out like never before after I got pokemon haha. No aa batteries were safe. The tv remote was my emergency source for batteries haha. Still one of my most memorable video games I ever played. Good times bro.
Hahaha hell yeah. those batteries got destroyed. My mom used to have to buy those bricks of like 36 batteries. Thank you for watching. I appreciate you.
@@Livvvid i remember my dad used to buy me those big 36 battery packs, mostly due to me stealing or swapping the TV remote batteries with those of my gameboy😂 to the point that he got so fed up with spending money on them and got me a rechargable battery pack that came with both a link cable, a carrying bag and a light somewhat looking like a magnifying glass. Man those were the days
Great video! I was 6 years old when pokemon red and blue came out! I was there man! I appreciate you mentioning the 3ds store situation. I have red, yellow, silver, and crystal but I did not know the store was closing in time to grab blue and gold... and so I can not play those games on official Nintendo hardware as of now... I want these games released on the switch. Come on Nintendo I will pay you my money!
Hey noxis good to see you again. Yeah All those on the switch would be amazing. AND maybe more trade compatibility since they already did that with the 3ds version. Imagine you and i battling or trading "legitimately" playing red and blue from the internet.
@2:38 This is the exact explanation I give when people give me the side eye about liking Pokemon. I was 8 years old when it came to America, I was the perfect target demographic.
Nah like what you like. I'm 33 and in a job field with tons of "macho" guys and I tell them proudly I play pokemon and make content about it lol. I mean I don't watch the show or have a bunch of plushies but I still play the core series games and I probably always will... Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you.
for me i always play them like this: squirtle for easy game - typing advantage surf ice beam brrr bulbasaur for no stress relaxing game - lifesteal boi no need for constant potion charmander - stylish but hard lol
Hey chad. Yeah thats about where I have it in my own assessment. Blastoise being able to learn the ice moves is a huge advantage late game. Bulbsaur is just a tank throughout and casually it can be fun puting pokemon to sleep and leech seeding them. Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate you.
@@Livvvidgold and silver were made for the gameboy color but they still didn’t add color until way late in development because they wanted them to look good on an original gameboy
@ My man! I love it. I’m playing it on my iPhone with the Delta Emulator. Great video! I only play video games in Japanese so I get to study while I play… … I swear. Haha
The bugs are totally overblown, we knew about a lot of the bugs but only because we had the internet back in 1999 and looked it up, but you can easily play through the game without running into any bugs.
Completely agree. Me even mentioning them will be news to a lot of more casual fans. Even games like Ocarina of time get accused of being "broken" and they'll reference speedrunning tactics that no normal person would ever even come close to knowing about as their reasoning lol. Thank you for watching and commenting, excited to bring you more.
Thank you for watching the video so quick and commenting. That stuff helps a lot. Who are you going to choose in firered and what do you think about the sevii islands?
Isn't it crazy? Like I knew you could grab the potion from the PC but I thought that was just 1 time gift or something. I never realized you could actually put the items there lol.
I've got Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, & Crystal on my New 3DS XL, 2DS XL, and my original 2DS. I trade with myself very simple. I have the original gen 1-3 on ROMs I have link cables to relieve a dream
As someone who used the MissingNo cheat all the time, I can vouche that I never would have stumbled upon it by accident and only found out because someone told me. That said, I don't think Focus Energy is excusable because everyone has tried it before and the glitch had no positives, unlike MissingNo. I can justify Wrap and Sleeplock as making sense even though they aren't fun, but Focus Energy is only broke because of a programming error and the reason for that error seems to be Gen 1 not being built well rather than rushed and not allowed proper care. That said, Gen 1 is a treasure and it did far more right than wrong. I don't think any Gen will ever match its sense of rustic adventure or the surprise of Giovanni being the 8th Gym Leader or Your Rival being the League Champion.
I had to google it after reading the title but yes it is. Pokemon has made more money then Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, Star Wars, Marvel, or Star Trek. Not combined but individually.
JRose11 really does show off how infinitely customizable Gen I is with his solo runs. With a few exceptions, like Weedle, you can beat the game with literally ANY Pokemon you want, and that's awesome!
It should be noted that Blue is more of a brother than a friend. Yes, he has a sibling rivalry, but he also helps and looks out for you and is a good sport. He's a brother....
You know, I just realized, but you are ignoring the impact of the anime.... For the vast majority of kids, they thought the games were based off of the anime (we knew about games based off of movies and shows and just thought Pokemon was another one of them). Most kids in the US didn't know that the cartoon was based off of games.... hell, we knew about Mew because of the anime and kept on trying to get it because we knew from the movie.... And we didn't know about distribution events or the cheats yet....
Pokémon is LIFE. Gen 1 - Gen 3 of course. Anything after that I don’t like. Now don’t confuse that with the game gens. I enjoy the games that have gen 1 - gen 3 Pokémon only. So nothing past firered/leafgreen and soulsilver/heartgold.
For me it gets hazy around gen 3 and 4 (other than HGSS, I played those like crazy). But gen 5 I got back into hard. everything since gen 5 for me is just a gradual decline. Didn't hate six but it was disappointing, 7 made me furious because it had a lot i liked but the gameplay was mind numbing, then 8 was a total joke for me. They've taken a few years now for these next entries, whatever they may be. Hopefully they clean up their act.
unfortunately I think the clocks been reset on a gen 1 remake because they'll count "lets go" as remakes and those are absolutely not my kind of games lol.
recently USA just finished build one of most beautiful airport in the world, can u make semi docu about Airport and why beautiful airport is today modern standard? ruclips.net/video/5Aqoq6UQxko/видео.html
As a Gen 1 veteran, Pokemon in its earliest days was indeed a fun time that will never repeat again.
too true. thank you for watching and commenting.
best childhood ever my man , and still playing older gens as of today 25 years later
Playing them again now still can make me 🥹🤧
Every kid I knew had pokémon cards in the late 90s. As popular as it is today, it's nothing compared to what it was back then.
Yeah exactly. I was really trying to emphasize that in the video because while we all know its still popular today, the absolute mania back then was different.

I always thought about putting out videos like these but I don’t have the patience to edit. How long does each video take to get clips for?
I'm excited about gen 3 because I never sank my teeth into it much outside of the gen 1 remakes. It was at a time where I got older and into other IPs like Yu Gi Oh and the original xbox Halo. but I want to stream myself playing RSE and edit the videos from there.
Do you think you'd care if I did videos exactly like this one but recorded from a stream where you could see me at the bottom left when I used footage? I would still narrate over it, have music, and edits just like this.
As far as how long it takes to edit, really not that long man. Not to me at least. This one took me probably 6 hours but it went by quick. My videos that are sub 10 minutes only take 2 hours max.
I actually enjoy the editing process because I can be creative and have fun with it. My least favorite part is recording the audio. Thats the most time consuming part. Writing the script then reading it can be really annoying lol.
Samdshrew was such a powerhouse that i missed out on whilst my siblings had blue and i was still not using mankey, nor would i use any fire type other than charmander.
"UNPLAYABLE" is the funniest thing ever and me personally, I love the way it was set up as a kid because think about it what Pokémon type makes sense to be overpowered? Physics! and there’s not that many of them so like it made it feel cool
Yeah. Admittedly It's not the main group of criticism, but I see it from time to time and it pisses me off.
Same kind of people who say the same thing about Ocarina of Time because speedrunners know so many glitches. Like cmon. You'll never encounter those glitches in casual play lol.
for people that really like gen1 I can share a discord server where we play tours on Showdown, even for cash sometimes
To this day I still have my copy of Pokémon RED. God I love this series
Thats awesome man.
Thank you for watching and commenting dude I appreciate you.
This video was awesome! I had to do a double take on your sub count, youve earned another one.
Hey Saiyan thank you. Thats a huge compliment. But people like you are showing up and subbing. The work it took for the video has been worth it.
I'm excited to bring you more.
great video. i just turned 35 and have fallen out of love with pokemon but still have nothing but fondness for gen 1 and 2. I'm not sure what exactly changed but even as recently as sun and moon i was enjoying the experience but starting with sword and shield idk i guess I'm just too old now or something but this was great i love how chill it was and really sent me back to when pokemon felt so new and unknown
maybe thats what is maybe ive just lost that sense of wonder with the series going forward
alas lol
Hey Jenko. I'm about to turn 33 in a couple weeks. You aren't alone. I actually point to sun and moon to where I heavily lost interest. I like the location, designs, and pokemon from that generation but the game themselves i cannot stand. For me it just continually went downhill.
Thank you for watching the video and for the kind words.
If you like games as Zelda BotW, you've probably not lost the wonder. I personally have fallen out of love with the more recent gens (Sun was also the last one I bought). I personally think that the new games don't give room to wander and wonder. Routes and towns feel more as a checklist of obstacles and services in stead of places in a fictional world. The reduction of (post game) content since the games went 3D is widely discussed on youtube and elsewhere, but X&Y still had a point of view that made small routes feel a bit larger, because you couldn't see the next town ahead of you. From Sun&Moon onwards the world not only looks tiny, but also feels like it (or is incredibly empty and stretched out)
hey bart. I think you'll like my content because you sound a lot like me. I'm working my way up the gens and will explain where I think the series totally fell off.
I do play zelda! I have a couple of zelda videos and I'de like to keep doing videos on them and get into longer form content about them as well.
Awesome video mate. Back in the christmas of 98 when I first got my blue version it was mind blowing haha. My game boy got a work out like never before after I got pokemon haha. No aa batteries were safe. The tv remote was my emergency source for batteries haha. Still one of my most memorable video games I ever played. Good times bro.
Hahaha hell yeah. those batteries got destroyed. My mom used to have to buy those bricks of like 36 batteries.
Thank you for watching. I appreciate you.
@@Livvvid i remember my dad used to buy me those big 36 battery packs, mostly due to me stealing or swapping the TV remote batteries with those of my gameboy😂 to the point that he got so fed up with spending money on them and got me a rechargable battery pack that came with both a link cable, a carrying bag and a light somewhat looking like a magnifying glass. Man those were the days
Great video! I was 6 years old when pokemon red and blue came out! I was there man!
I appreciate you mentioning the 3ds store situation. I have red, yellow, silver, and crystal but I did not know the store was closing in time to grab blue and gold... and so I can not play those games on official Nintendo hardware as of now... I want these games released on the switch. Come on Nintendo I will pay you my money!
Hey noxis good to see you again.
Yeah All those on the switch would be amazing. AND maybe more trade compatibility since they already did that with the 3ds version. Imagine you and i battling or trading "legitimately" playing red and blue from the internet.
@Livvvid that would be amazing. Finally getting Gengar and Alakazam in my Red playthroughs again as well!
Great video !
Thanks Sebastian. Working on gen 2 video right now!
@2:38 This is the exact explanation I give when people give me the side eye about liking Pokemon. I was 8 years old when it came to America, I was the perfect target demographic.
Nah like what you like. I'm 33 and in a job field with tons of "macho" guys and I tell them proudly I play pokemon and make content about it lol.
I mean I don't watch the show or have a bunch of plushies but I still play the core series games and I probably always will...
Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you.
@@Livvvid I also work in a macho field (railroad) so I 100% feel that.
16:21 it will never make sense to me that Ghost was a physical type prior to the split.
The guy guarding Cerulean cave reminded me of Gerald from Hey Arnold 🤣
I always 100% talk with all NPCs in every game in pokemon. Even when I replay em. Feels wrong to not do that lol.
I found my kindred spirit lol. I STILL do it to this day. But its cool, you learn more about the world and some lore.
X accuracy in Generation 1 and 2 made none of your moves miss at all it was brilliant
for me i always play them like this:
squirtle for easy game - typing advantage surf ice beam brrr
bulbasaur for no stress relaxing game - lifesteal boi no need for constant potion
charmander - stylish but hard lol
Hey chad.
Yeah thats about where I have it in my own assessment. Blastoise being able to learn the ice moves is a huge advantage late game. Bulbsaur is just a tank throughout and casually it can be fun puting pokemon to sleep and leech seeding them.
Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate you.
Let's not forget about the brilliant ways to get Mew and also the duplicate items and find hard to get Pokemon
You should always use the original pea soup colors of the original gameboy because that’s how the original developers originally intended it to look
I highly doubt their intent was to NOT have color. They released it on the original gameboy because that was the platform that was available.
@@Livvvidgold and silver were made for the gameboy color but they still didn’t add color until way late in development because they wanted them to look good on an original gameboy
I was 7 too, we need that time machine 😂
When Pokemon hit North America it became even bigger
Red and Green are the best. There I said it. ❤
I bought a romhack that has the english translated green that I want to play soon lol.
Damn kids and their Pokémon Scarlet… makes meh sick! Haha😂
@ My man! I love it. I’m playing it on my iPhone with the Delta Emulator. Great video! I only play video games in Japanese so I get to study while I play… … I swear. Haha
Thats really cool. Are you able to understand it pretty well at this point?
Thank you for watching and for the kind words.
Also, I too hold the B button when catching Pokémon. Haha
My first game ever was pokemon yellow. The perfect first game.
I still hold the B button and Down! 12:03
I saw Kacho there in the beginning!
The bugs are totally overblown, we knew about a lot of the bugs but only because we had the internet back in 1999 and looked it up, but you can easily play through the game without running into any bugs.
Completely agree. Me even mentioning them will be news to a lot of more casual fans.
Even games like Ocarina of time get accused of being "broken" and they'll reference speedrunning tactics that no normal person would ever even come close to knowing about as their reasoning lol.
Thank you for watching and commenting, excited to bring you more.
This video makes me want to replay Pokemon Fire Red
Thank you for watching the video so quick and commenting. That stuff helps a lot.
Who are you going to choose in firered and what do you think about the sevii islands?
@@LivvvidI was thinking about going with the Nidoking strut. And the islands are cool just wish they would have added more things to do.
Nidoking is so damn good.
I'm 33, and this is the first time I've ever heard that items could be put in the PC... I had no idea T_T
Isn't it crazy? Like I knew you could grab the potion from the PC but I thought that was just 1 time gift or something. I never realized you could actually put the items there lol.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I apprecaite you.
@@Livvvid
I've got Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, & Crystal on my New 3DS XL, 2DS XL, and my original 2DS. I trade with myself very simple. I have the original gen 1-3 on ROMs I have link cables to relieve a dream
I've also got 2 3ds's with all of gen 1 and 2 to trade with myself lol.
As someone who used the MissingNo cheat all the time, I can vouche that I never would have stumbled upon it by accident and only found out because someone told me. That said, I don't think Focus Energy is excusable because everyone has tried it before and the glitch had no positives, unlike MissingNo. I can justify Wrap and Sleeplock as making sense even though they aren't fun, but Focus Energy is only broke because of a programming error and the reason for that error seems to be Gen 1 not being built well rather than rushed and not allowed proper care.
That said, Gen 1 is a treasure and it did far more right than wrong. I don't think any Gen will ever match its sense of rustic adventure or the surprise of Giovanni being the 8th Gym Leader or Your Rival being the League Champion.
Same here regarding the fossils, to this day I still cannot pick Omanyte in any run that I play, Kabutops supremacy 😎
I had to google it after reading the title but yes it is. Pokemon has made more money then Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, Star Wars, Marvel, or Star Trek. Not combined but individually.
JRose11 really does show off how infinitely customizable Gen I is with his solo runs. With a few exceptions, like Weedle, you can beat the game with literally ANY Pokemon you want, and that's awesome!
That psychiatrist was the first pokemon karen in the 90s
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_Lieberman
Kinda seems like she was just rage baiting against video games for decades.
remember me when you make it
i'm taking you with me.
Hes going places
Anyone know what happened to Dr. Carole Lieberman?
yeah, the stats and move types in gen 1 are sooo bad when you go back. never noticed it when young though.
And any casual players would never notice it either so I think its fine overall.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you.
I remember the "Poke gods" rumor
Which one was that?
@Livvvid the rumor was that Venusaur, Charizard, & Blastoise can evolve. In a way, this exists now w/ mega evolution
haha nice. Yeah I didnt hear that one as a kid but I wonder if people who liked that rumor liked megas. I personally loved megas.
@@Livvvid during the gen 2 hype, I heard rumors of Mewthree. Mewtwo w/ the armor from the movie, now as a psychic/ steel type
HAMMER B BUTTON TO SECURE THE CATCH!!!
You get it. And when it doesnt work, it was because you werent pressing hard enough lol
Someone please reply to this comment when a generation two video is made 🥰
I thought it was a hat 😂
Wait are you born in 1990? I think 1989? I’m 1990 and man love red and blue.
Pokey mans😂
"It's pokeMON, get it right" as I scream to my uncle who teased me lol
It should be noted that Blue is more of a brother than a friend. Yes, he has a sibling rivalry, but he also helps and looks out for you and is a good sport. He's a brother....
You know, I just realized, but you are ignoring the impact of the anime....
For the vast majority of kids, they thought the games were based off of the anime (we knew about games based off of movies and shows and just thought Pokemon was another one of them).
Most kids in the US didn't know that the cartoon was based off of games.... hell, we knew about Mew because of the anime and kept on trying to get it because we knew from the movie....
And we didn't know about distribution events or the cheats yet....
Pokémon is LIFE. Gen 1 - Gen 3 of course. Anything after that I don’t like. Now don’t confuse that with the game gens. I enjoy the games that have gen 1 - gen 3 Pokémon only. So nothing past firered/leafgreen and soulsilver/heartgold.
For me it gets hazy around gen 3 and 4 (other than HGSS, I played those like crazy). But gen 5 I got back into hard.
everything since gen 5 for me is just a gradual decline. Didn't hate six but it was disappointing, 7 made me furious because it had a lot i liked but the gameplay was mind numbing, then 8 was a total joke for me.
They've taken a few years now for these next entries, whatever they may be. Hopefully they clean up their act.
@@LivvvidI keep holding out for a remake that includes gen1-3 Pokémon only haha I think I’ll take that to the grave 😂
unfortunately I think the clocks been reset on a gen 1 remake because they'll count "lets go" as remakes and those are absolutely not my kind of games lol.
You’re nitpicking way too much. Things that a normal person would never notice or care about
I literally make that same defense. Watch the whole video.
You have to much hate bro chill out
I played Pokémon Red for the first time in 2024 via emulator on pc, it’s awesome 🥹🤧
I'm already really happy when I see people play and enjoy gen 1. You prove my hypothesis correct.
recently USA just finished build one of most beautiful airport in the world, can u make semi docu about Airport and why beautiful airport is today modern standard? ruclips.net/video/5Aqoq6UQxko/видео.html
