Jamie George i knew the missingno glitch which also causes wild pokemon to be over level 100 and showed off with my lvl 148 evil spiked vagina ball i forgot what the real name of that thing is :D
+psychoraider904 and then brock challenges you to a battle and you beat him like a few secounds! so much for lass logic of saying your one million years if you want to beat brook! lol xd
A friend of me did this when we were seven years old. He had a 40 level Charizard in the Virdinian forest.Problem was he couldn´t read and always pressed Scratch,lol
I did the math and if the avg pokemon encounter got him 50xp and level 100 is 1059860 xp and each encounter was about 20 seconds long (which is conservative), leveling all the way to 100 would only take 117 hours lol Which, if you really think about it, isn't that bad at all.
thats what i thought too. One of my friends once had a lvl 69 charizard before the 3rd badge but that was only because he couldn’t figure out what to do next lol.
Caleb TC pikachu lol. Idk, I just found it crazy he popped up outta nowhere lol. Thought of my childhood cause if I would've came across a pikachu I would've went nuts and rubbed in everyone's faces lol
As soon as I caught the Gengar I went to go level it up to 100 but I couldn't find anything in the grass. Then all of a sudden the first Pokemon that finally appears is a Pikachu. I had to catch it then level up Gengar.
Not really. Unless you want one specifically to fight Misty or something I think Jolteon or Zapdos are considerably better electric alternatives. Then again I'm not a pokémon expert or anything. might be just a matter of preference, although my experience tells me Pikachu generally has weaker stats and leveling it up is a pain in the ass if you want to maximize the use of its learnset.
HappyBeezerStudios Not really worth the trouble getting a pikachu only because of a single gym in my opinion. You could just as well get an oddish or a bellsprout (depending on version) and you'll even get a pokemon that can learn cut. And that's if you want to be super effective. You don't really need super effective pokémon to beat Misty since she's so easy.
Thanks for the handy glitch. For those playing on the virtual copy on a 3ds, I would recommend saving before fighting blue so you can repeat the gengar encounter. It seems that the game keeps viridian forest with the glitch if you reset but it doesn’t remember what the last Pokémon you fought was, so it’s a lot safer to just save before blue.
for anyone that cares in yellow these are the corresponding pokemon: eevee gets you nidoqueen, mankey gets you nidoking, nidoran female gets you slowbro, nidoran male gets you voltorb, ratata also gets you voltorb, spearow gets you exeggcute, and pidgey gets you nidoking. i'm not sure if its the same for red and blue, but thats what i got for my yellow version.
Thanks for the vid, man. Yellow was my first video game ever, and I always enjoy going back to these older games and seeing all the glitches caused by various mathematical errors and whatnot.
To make sure they are lv1 you need to lower the stat six times. One thing that wasnt mention, or atleast I dont remember him mentioning it is that the pokemon who you are trying to level up needs to gain under a certain amount of experience. I THINK the number is dependent on what the negative experience is at lv1. If the pokemon gains enough experience to pass over 0 then it will level up like normal. Regardless get only about 14 or less exp and it should work.
Couldn't you *technically* get a level 100 Pokemon before you even deliver Oak's parcel? Just so much grinding that nobody would ever really want to try it?
lol. yes, i guess you could do that. Though the starters are all in the medium-slow EXP group, requiring 1,059,860 EXP to hit lvl100. Which means you'll need to kill approximately 70,000 pokemon to accomplish this.
The wild pokemon you encounter is determined by the special stat of the last pokemon you fought (see my video on the ditto trick for more info on that). you can only do this exact glitch once per save, since your rival won't fight you twice.
Just so you know it also works on Pokemon Yellow, you just have to do the same, but when fighting Gary you have to use 6 Growl or more on Eevee, lose the fight and go to the same place. I found a Nidoqueen level 1, pretty good glitch.
thanks for the list, very helpful. i will add that the wild pokemon you encounter will need to be at a certain level to ensure you get the correct pokemon through the glitch
TO everyone who keeps missing Gengar with the pokeballs, its because Gengar has a 5.9% catch rate at full health so its really fucking difficult. Honestly how this guy did it on his first try is amazing to me.
I found saving exactly 3 steps away from the trainer encounter yielded the most consistent results. It's never taken more than 10 minutes for me, and that's using a super nintendo and resetting/reloading after fails.
Me, too. And I was so excited that it might work.:( It took me forever to get the "wild encounter in front of the trainer" to happen, without the wild Pokemon being a dang Metapod.
This means that you never encountered another pokemon after escaping the fight (i.e. fighting your rival). The encounter address in the game's memory was never overwritten to have a different encounter
Apparently saving before entering Viridian Forest screws with the glitch. There is a point where you can save though. You can't normally access the menu or interact with anything, but for some strange reason, the PC is still interactive. You can change boxes to save your game before taking on your rival. The only downside to this is that if you mess up by defeating the mon or running of Pokéballs, you'll need to battle your rival again, which may result in something different if you aren't lucky enough.
Pretty much all you do is go to Viridian Forest get really low on your 1 pokemon walk in front of the trainer that is in the grass until a wild pokemon appears then when you black out you go fight your rival and kill his first pokemon then get 6 growls off of his starter. Then you let him win and after that you go back to Viridian Forest save before entering if you have cartridge. Then a text should appear then you fight the Gengar. Catch it then go into a patch of grass. But before that put Gengar as your first pokemon in your party. Then switch to your starter and kill the wild pokemon. Level 100 Gengar.
It went from "Oh help me! I'm just a weakling" to "I WILL EAT YOUR ENEMIES!!" in 0.2 seconds. Talk about escalating quickly... This Gengar ritual was crazy!
Maybe I'm trippin because I haven't played blue in over a decade but was finding a pikachu always that easy???Like that legitimately just threw me off(then again I was a SERIAL grass avoider during those days) lol
I just did this trick by catching a Level 1 Nidoking instead of a Gengar - the instructions here were spot on! For those who messed up on Gengar like me (because I had no way to lower its health, and at full health, it dodged ALL 16 of my pokeballs!), Nidoking is a much safer target for two reasons: 1) It has Thrash (self-damage via confusion - enabling your pokeballs to hit it) and 2) You don't need to fight Gary to encounter it - just find a level 3 Pidgey instead and growl it 6 times to get Nidoking's level down.
If you time the poison so that you faint in front of the trainer, do you still need to encounter a wild pokemon and have it kill you? or can you black out from the poison and that will still trigger the trainer?
Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking. It seems so much easier to accomplish, especially since you can save game on 1 hp and just calculate the amount of steps it will take you to get to 0hp
that’s how i tried doing it at first because i was confused about the steps, but every single time i just got the “[your pokemon] fainted!” text box and was sent to the pokémon center without the exclamation point coming up or any other indication that the glitch had worked, so i don’t think that would work. my guess is that fainting from poison takes priority over events that could otherwise happen simultaneously, like a wild encounter or trainer battle, so those events will never actually trigger at the same time. who knows though, maybe if i had kept going through with the glitch i still could’ve gotten gengar lol
I love it. There are SO many glitches and tricks in the first gen game. Judging the game designers of Pokemon and knowing their level of skill, intelligence, and secrets, I feel like the game designers had to have known about these. Great vid!
Avery Nelson maybe,but you gotta think,this was in gen one,so the programmers put in less effort than now,where one glitch could completely break the game and ruin the experience for alot of people
yes, you can. the special stat of the last pokemon you encounter before returning to viridian city is the same as the hex number of the pokemon you will encounter (search "List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)" in bulbapedia for a full list). all pokemon in the wild have zero IV's and EV's (or their equivalents in gen 1) so you can tell what their stats will be from base stats and level, the former of which (along with a handy formula) you can look up online. Happy hunting!
These glitches are pretty complicated, but they're not as difficult to discover as you might think. Some guy didn't just stumble upon this by accident, people look through the code for the game, and by figuring out and completely understanding what actions cause what result, they can abuse the game mechanics.
Some people even think that they were intentionally left in by a designer. I guess so that someday, somehow somebody would find it. Doesn't make a lot of sense when you consider gamesharks exist but it's still a neat theory.
People always say that these glitches were discovered by looking at the game's actual code, but I think it would be more difficult to discover these glitches that way than by just stumbling across them (well, partially stumbling across them and partially deducing what's going on from there). I mean, these are obviously bugs in the game's design, which means that even the game's programmers didn't find them in the code. It's not obvious that they're there in the code when you look at it, that's why GameFreak didn't catch them before the game was released. A more realistic possibility is this: One or more people discovered, completely by accident, that you can pause the game or get a wild encounter at the same time a trainer sees you. If you fly, teleport, dig, escape rope, or blackout away at that exact moment, your pause button stops working until you get into a battle. People told their friends about this, and then they tried it, and told their friends, and so on. Eventually, someone accidentally set off the glitch that triggers a battle where one shouldn't belong after doing this (as with the Gengar), and they told their friends who told their friends. Eventually, after enough experimentation, people would have figured out that the battle triggered wasn't random but depended on the special stat (I think it was) of the last opposing Pokemon you faced, and then began to hack the game by identifying the stats of the Pokemon of opposing trainers at various stages of the game in order to figure out how they could get what Pokemon, at what levels, at what stage of the game. No knowledge of programming required, just the power of induction and deduction combined with the spread of information by word-of-mouth.
GOffUnit Nah, they do read the game's code to find out.The only reason Game Freak did not see the problems in the coding before releasing the games was the fact that they were too lazy to search for that stuff and released the game without checking it before.You can't possibly find these glitches by accident no matter what.No one would ever figure out that the special stat determines the encounter
I like to play normally up until a certain point and then plough forward for the win, which is why my favourite glitch in the entire game is the classic Missingno glitch.
+Daniel Terkelsen Yep, v0id19 dropped the ball here. Here's the list of Pokémon that can go from 1 to 100 instantly. Note that this list contains Pokémon from all generations, not just Gen 1. bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Pok%C3%A9mon_in_the_Medium_Slow_experience_group
I stopped by PC after Gary to grab my Squirtle (used a caught Pikachu to initiate the glitch on my VC Blue Version) and the text reads now "I give, you're good at this!" (my second attempt, Nidoqueen, had Pikachu as I said so, couldn't weaken her and Pokeballs just missed!) *I promise you this is the most cryptic game on Planet Earth!*
I found a glitch online that can be used to help save so much time! "It is possible for the player to deposit all Pokémon except fainted ones and a black out will occur but only after four steps in the same session. In Red and Blue it is possible to progress further by saving the game before traveling four steps to reset the 'remaining step count' to 4 when the game is reset, though this is no longer the case in Pokemon Yellow because the remaining step count was changed to default to 1 step. The player immediately has a black out if entering a battle with just fainted Pokémon." So deposit all your pokemon into the pc except a fainted one, take 3 steps, save, take 3 steps, save, and so on until the 4th step you take will have you faint right in front of that trainer, and then you'll teleport to the pokecenter!!!
Just playing the game tbh. RBY had tons of glitches when i played it. I remember getting stuck in the Pokemart after buying 99 pokeballs and selling them back till i couldnt afford it.
Its not "just playing the game". Its more about people who discover these kind of glitches for fun and entertainment (and speed run purposes), who have an understanding of how the game calculates stuff and how it is coded, and what its limitations are and how you might be able to exploit them.
Yes, but they didn't necessarily discover how the game was coded, they've just figured out the craziest exploits for these glitches. More likely these glitches were originally discovered completely by accident by people who have long since quit playing these games, and their experimentation led to the discovery of how exactly they worked.
Just out of curiosity, since you got Charmander poisoned to make his death quicker, could you time it so that when Charmander is down to just 1HP you take your 4th step in front of the trainer causing Charmander to faint at the same time the trainer sees you? Or would that 4th step not activate the poison if it lands you in front of the trainer? I'll try it for myself, but if it does work, that seems like a much simpler way to deathfaint than to have a wild pokemon encounter right in front of the trainer. I'll try and let you know if it works.
It does not work. If Charmander faints and you black out, even if it's right in front of the trainer, the trainer doesn't see you and you go right to the PokeCenter. Oh well.
Wow, that took awhile. Finally a level 1 gengar... I tried walking 8-12 steps instead of 4 steps to get a wild encounter in front of the trainer while poisoned. And make sure you save 1-2 potions for your rival battle. Rival Battle: Ember > Scratch > Scratch (If Pidgey did a sand attack after my first attack) And then good luck on growling. Gengar: Good luck with your pokeballs. Keep tryin'.
If you use the gym skip glitch and get to Mt Moon, there is a rocket grunt you can use an escape rope on where you get the tm for Mega Punch. From there, you fight the last trainer on the route to mt moon (just after the last bug catcher) and lower the attack stat and so on and when you go back to where you fight the rocket grunt, you'll fight a Gengar. Only issue is avoiding wild encounters in Mt Moon so save states are essential for this
true, you could just win the battle, but then you have to walk through a patch of grass before you can get back to viridian forest. If you encounter a wild pokemon in said grass it will overwrite the special stat from gary's pokemon. If you lose you avoid the patch of grass. it's just safer
Thing is that you can't teach that gengar any other moves than Lick confuse ray and night shade since it's level 100 already and there are no move tutors in gen 1 and 2 Wait. There are things such as TMs
+ClearSky It only has two other moves it can learn anyway. One can be learned with a TM but to use Dream Eater, you will need another pokemon with a sleep inducing move.
I managed to replicate this hack on Yellow. It does work. On Yellow, I went and found this trainer in the forest and lost to the wild Pokemon that appeared in front of him. (I did see the little exclamation mark and heard the sound that plays when a Trainer sees you). Then I went left of Viridian City and fought my rival, losing to his Eevee - I used Growl on his Eevee as much as I could physically manage before he knocked me out, but I do think that five or six Growls should be enough. After that I SAVED (because you might need to restart it if you don't have enough Pokeballs) and went to the forest again - ran into a level one Nidoqueen and caught her. It took about ten Pokeballs to catch her. When I finally did get her, I got her some EXP and she shot up to 100. Nice.:) I'm going to try the other Yellow hack as well. (Also note that I did this on the emulator, so for those of you wondering, it DOES work, it just takes a bit of patience.)
So got to gangar and couldn't catch him. Also recommend not saving before entering the verodian forest if you can't catch him you'll loose out and have to start all over. I have 15 poke a balls and couldn't catch him any advice.
MagicPixel it's a fucking comment on youtube, why the fuck does his comment have to be about the same fucking gen???? If I say here and asked everyone in the comments who didn't comment about pokemon gen 1 why they didn't comment on gen 1 is be here forever
nvm it took a lot of missing and i had to do the glitch all the way over but its good you might wanna add that saving before the rival battle on cartridge is the best way cause before viridian didnt work for me
You can get any pokemon in the game using this glitch, the pokemon you get correlates with the special stat of the last pokemon you encountered. The Rival's last pokemon has a special stat of 14 which is what generates Gengar in the fight. The last pokemon you fought before fighting Nidoking had a special of 7. Google Mew Glitch for more information.
It was due to the Special stat of Gary's Squirtle. Because it was the last pokemon he defeated before encountering the pokemon, the special stat corrosponded to gengar for some reason in the code. This is just a version of the extended trainer glitch(a.k.a. the mew glitch)
Hey brother you just earned yourself a new sub and like!!! This glitch actually works people I just did it today on Pokémon Blue. Freaking dope man. Only hard part is maybe the timing for the grass and getting off 6 growls.Anyways thanks for the level 100 Gengar 🔥🔥💯
It should obey you because since you caught it, you would be considered it's Original Trainer. The only Pokemon who disobey you because of high level are Pokemon whom others hatched or caught and traded them to you.
Dakota M Nope, you are wrong. The obedience rules were put in place during the first generation to prevent players from trading high level Pokemon and easily cruising through the game. Pokemon obedience and exp gain are based on the Pokemon's OT number and your OT number. Gen 1 games had many glitches. Some of which changed your Pokemon's Original Trainer number or your own OT number. Whatever the case, a mismatching OT number causes your scenario to occur. It was a common glitch, however it was more likely to occur if you tried to use game shark or any in-game cheating tricks.
I remember back when I played Blue on my Game Boy (the black and white one... ahh good times), my Charizard was pretty strong and about the only pokemon I used at some point because all the other pokemon were fainted and my English was really bad (my native language is Dutch and I was only 7 years old) and because of this I didn't know pokecenters healed my pokemon xD. But to get back to my point, I remember my Charizard "loafing around" because its level was too high (I was battling north of Cerulean City so, logically my pokemon shouldn't have been at lvl 36+ by then, I didn't have the Cascade badge either so...). It ended up fainting because I had to start using struggle a lot and then I realized the use of pokecenters when I blacked out for the first time xD.
robbert1210 Whenever your original Pokemon is getting extra exp or not behaving because he is too high level just check his OT number and compare it with yours. If for some reason the OT numbers don't match this will happen. Like I said earlier, there were a lot of glitches during generation 1 that change the OT number of Pokemon and players. The only way to know is to check the OT numbers.
Sometimes in life, you have to make a decision. Like do I want Tim's Cascade, or just regular potato chips; and realistically that has nothing to do with this at all. But I will, press on... I... WILL... PRESS... ON...
This glitch dont work on cartidge. 1) because its very hard (you understand, VERY HARD and if it’s hard....the next steps will be impossible) to get poisoned by Weedle bec you can find it only at lvl 3 or lvl 2. 2) the fastest it takes to me 7:36:49 to pass the first part and you can ONLY save before the trainer because even if Gengar lvl1 spawns and you saves right before you will never be able to fight it again, but later I will explain better 3) if you dont save after the poke-center post recovery you will find 100% a wild pokemon into the grass before RED and you will ruin the glitch, I made this glitch 4 times (more than 1 day spent into the game) and I never pass the grass without find wild pokemon 4)YOU CANT CATCH GENGAR because you will never be able to throw him a pokeball, you will miss it everytime. I reached this step twice and the result was the same everytime. I tried to growl but he used “lick” and its fucking op even at lvl1, I almost get killed. ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO CATCH GENGAR WITH A POKEBALL.
Tried this also on a Japanese Pokemon Red Version. The 6 times growl should be done to Rival's Squirtle or to encounter a Gengar Lv. 1. I messed up with that so I encountered a Lv. 6 Gengar in my first try. Really helpful video. Thanks
Incorrect. That only applies to pokemon received in a trade (with a different trainer ID). Since you caught and "raised" this pokemon yourself, it will obey
Funny how the dialogue that popped up didn't seem to be the same dialogue you'd normally get from the trainer that tried to battle you when you blacked out, heh.
WARNING if you are playing on the 3DS version save before the pokemon battle with your rival and re battle him every time do not save after that battle, because if you do and you do not catch the pokemon you have to restart the entire game to redo the glitch.
If only i knew about this when i was 8 years old

@@TomekBlacksMyth Yes
Pretty cool glitch. The only problem I find is that the lv 100 pokemon miss out on all of their level up moves.
+Brendan Tjeerdsma yeah so I got my Gengar to Lv.2 instead of Lv.100
because he won too much xp. you gotta make sure it gets split and that hes battling a low level pokemon
I wanted it at Lv.2 though so it would learn its moves
Yer, I prefer level 2, as well. Getting Gengar is the cool part. I always found that level 100 pokemon sort of killed the experience.
Just give him some TMs and it's all good. Thunder and blizzard = good to go.
for anyone that cares in yellow these are the corresponding pokemon: eevee gets you nidoqueen, mankey gets you nidoking, nidoran female gets you slowbro, nidoran male gets you voltorb, ratata also gets you voltorb, spearow gets you exeggcute, and pidgey gets you nidoking. i'm not sure if its the same for red and blue, but thats what i got for my yellow version.
It's actually based on the special stat of the pokemon you battled.

Just so you know it also works on Pokemon Yellow, you just have to do the same, but when fighting Gary you have to use 6 Growl or more on Eevee, lose the fight and go to the same place. I found a Nidoqueen level 1, pretty good glitch.

This means that you never encountered another pokemon after escaping the fight (i.e. fighting your rival). The encounter address in the game's memory was never overwritten to have a different encounter
v0id19 Didn't you say you weren't meant to encounter anything else?...
Apparently saving before entering Viridian Forest screws with the glitch. There is a point where you can save though. You can't normally access the menu or interact with anything, but for some strange reason, the PC is still interactive. You can change boxes to save your game before taking on your rival. The only downside to this is that if you mess up by defeating the mon or running of Pokéballs, you'll need to battle your rival again, which may result in something different if you aren't lucky enough.
Only downside is gengar has crappy moves and no shadow ball but still very interesting glitch
I use thunderbolt psychic hypnosis mega drain on Gengar, the immunity to normal moves is worth it
Literally only took my 30 min to complete this glitch. Thanks void!
gonna try this on 3ds version of red and blue
This still works on 3DS, tested it on Red Version :)
+Brixbah can you change the pokemon's moves? are you stuck with the low level moves?
does it work for yellow? (that's the version I have, and I love gengar)
+Brixbah how long did it take you, ive been trying to get the random encounter in front of the trainer for like 2 hours
Aklamore it's possible, it took me 30 minutes
that was super interesting, its cool that all these glitches have been found for these games. Also nice pick for the Gengar (my favorite pokemon)
Pretty much all you do is go to Viridian Forest get really low on your 1 pokemon walk in front of the trainer that is in the grass until a wild pokemon appears then when you black out you go fight your rival and kill his first pokemon then get 6 growls off of his starter. Then you let him win and after that you go back to Viridian Forest save before entering if you have cartridge. Then a text should appear then you fight the Gengar. Catch it then go into a patch of grass. But before that put Gengar as your first pokemon in your party. Then switch to your starter and kill the wild pokemon. Level 100 Gengar.
It went from "Oh help me! I'm just a weakling" to "I WILL EAT YOUR ENEMIES!!" in 0.2 seconds.
Talk about escalating quickly... This Gengar ritual was crazy!
Maybe I'm trippin because I haven't played blue in over a decade but was finding a pikachu always that easy???Like that legitimately just threw me off(then again I was a SERIAL grass avoider during those days) lol
5% encounter rate, he got lucky
Ditto
I just did this trick by catching a Level 1 Nidoking instead of a Gengar - the instructions here were spot on!
For those who messed up on Gengar like me (because I had no way to lower its health, and at full health, it dodged ALL 16 of my pokeballs!), Nidoking is a much safer target for two reasons: 1) It has Thrash (self-damage via confusion - enabling your pokeballs to hit it) and 2) You don't need to fight Gary to encounter it - just find a level 3 Pidgey instead and growl it 6 times to get Nidoking's level down.
If you time the poison so that you faint in front of the trainer, do you still need to encounter a wild pokemon and have it kill you? or can you black out from the poison and that will still trigger the trainer?
Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking. It seems so much easier to accomplish, especially since you can save game on 1 hp and just calculate the amount of steps it will take you to get to 0hp
Ryan Pokorny i did this glitch a long ass time ago, but I'm pretty sure I used the poison method when I did it.
that’s how i tried doing it at first because i was confused about the steps, but every single time i just got the “[your pokemon] fainted!” text box and was sent to the pokémon center without the exclamation point coming up or any other indication that the glitch had worked, so i don’t think that would work. my guess is that fainting from poison takes priority over events that could otherwise happen simultaneously, like a wild encounter or trainer battle, so those events will never actually trigger at the same time. who knows though, maybe if i had kept going through with the glitch i still could’ve gotten gengar lol
I love it. There are SO many glitches and tricks in the first gen game. Judging the game designers of Pokemon and knowing their level of skill, intelligence, and secrets, I feel like the game designers had to have known about these. Great vid!
Avery Nelson maybe,but you gotta think,this was in gen one,so the programmers put in less effort than now,where one glitch could completely break the game and ruin the experience for alot of people
sorry, i ain't gonna lose with Gary (green)
Hell yeah
yes, you can. the special stat of the last pokemon you encounter before returning to viridian city is the same as the hex number of the pokemon you will encounter (search "List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)" in bulbapedia for a full list).
all pokemon in the wild have zero IV's and EV's (or their equivalents in gen 1) so you can tell what their stats will be from base stats and level, the former of which (along with a handy formula) you can look up online.
Happy hunting!
Who the hell discovered this glitch?!
These glitches are pretty complicated, but they're not as difficult to discover as you might think.
Some guy didn't just stumble upon this by accident, people look through the code for the game, and by figuring out and completely understanding what actions cause what result, they can abuse the game mechanics.
Some people even think that they were intentionally left in by a designer. I guess so that someday, somehow somebody would find it. Doesn't make a lot of sense when you consider gamesharks exist but it's still a neat theory.
I mean, the Ditto glitch is well-known and this is really a variation.
People always say that these glitches were discovered by looking at the game's actual code, but I think it would be more difficult to discover these glitches that way than by just stumbling across them (well, partially stumbling across them and partially deducing what's going on from there). I mean, these are obviously bugs in the game's design, which means that even the game's programmers didn't find them in the code. It's not obvious that they're there in the code when you look at it, that's why GameFreak didn't catch them before the game was released.
A more realistic possibility is this: One or more people discovered, completely by accident, that you can pause the game or get a wild encounter at the same time a trainer sees you. If you fly, teleport, dig, escape rope, or blackout away at that exact moment, your pause button stops working until you get into a battle. People told their friends about this, and then they tried it, and told their friends, and so on. Eventually, someone accidentally set off the glitch that triggers a battle where one shouldn't belong after doing this (as with the Gengar), and they told their friends who told their friends. Eventually, after enough experimentation, people would have figured out that the battle triggered wasn't random but depended on the special stat (I think it was) of the last opposing Pokemon you faced, and then began to hack the game by identifying the stats of the Pokemon of opposing trainers at various stages of the game in order to figure out how they could get what Pokemon, at what levels, at what stage of the game. No knowledge of programming required, just the power of induction and deduction combined with the spread of information by word-of-mouth.
GOffUnit Nah, they do read the game's code to find out.The only reason Game Freak did not see the problems in the coding before releasing the games was the fact that they were too lazy to search for that stuff and released the game without checking it before.You can't possibly find these glitches by accident no matter what.No one would ever figure out that the special stat determines the encounter
I like to play normally up until a certain point and then plough forward for the win, which is why my favourite glitch in the entire game is the classic Missingno glitch.
WHERE IS THE DAMN LIST OF POKEMONS WITH NEGATIVE EXP ON LEVEL 1 AS PROMISED?????
+Daniel Terkelsen Yep, v0id19 dropped the ball here. Here's the list of Pokémon that can go from 1 to 100 instantly. Note that this list contains Pokémon from all generations, not just Gen 1.
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Pok%C3%A9mon_in_the_Medium_Slow_experience_group
I stopped by PC after Gary to grab my Squirtle (used a caught Pikachu to initiate the glitch on my VC Blue Version) and the text reads now "I give, you're good at this!" (my second attempt, Nidoqueen, had Pikachu as I said so, couldn't weaken her and Pokeballs just missed!)
*I promise you this is the most cryptic game on Planet Earth!*
When I finally did it the pokemon I got in front of him was a Metapod :(
I found a glitch online that can be used to help save so much time!
"It is possible for the player to deposit all Pokémon except fainted ones and a black out will occur but only after four steps in the same session. In Red and Blue it is possible to progress further by saving the game before traveling four steps to reset the 'remaining step count' to 4 when the game is reset, though this is no longer the case in Pokemon Yellow because the remaining step count was changed to default to 1 step. The player immediately has a black out if entering a battle with just fainted Pokémon."
So deposit all your pokemon into the pc except a fainted one, take 3 steps, save, take 3 steps, save, and so on until the 4th step you take will have you faint right in front of that trainer, and then you'll teleport to the pokecenter!!!
This is cool and I don't doubt that it works. But how do people discover it does? Lol
Just playing the game tbh. RBY had tons of glitches when i played it. I remember getting stuck in the Pokemart after buying 99 pokeballs and selling them back till i couldnt afford it.
Its not "just playing the game". Its more about people who discover these kind of glitches for fun and entertainment (and speed run purposes), who have an understanding of how the game calculates stuff and how it is coded, and what its limitations are and how you might be able to exploit them.
and the fact that old school games, you were able to explore the code of the game and find out what interacts with what.
No, I've done it before and got a level 100 nidoking ;)
Yes, but they didn't necessarily discover how the game was coded, they've just figured out the craziest exploits for these glitches. More likely these glitches were originally discovered completely by accident by people who have long since quit playing these games, and their experimentation led to the discovery of how exactly they worked.
I believe you can also do this by battling the first trainer at Brock's gym, and allow yourself to lose to the Diglet, at least in the Yellow version.
Just out of curiosity, since you got Charmander poisoned to make his death quicker, could you time it so that when Charmander is down to just 1HP you take your 4th step in front of the trainer causing Charmander to faint at the same time the trainer sees you? Or would that 4th step not activate the poison if it lands you in front of the trainer? I'll try it for myself, but if it does work, that seems like a much simpler way to deathfaint than to have a wild pokemon encounter right in front of the trainer. I'll try and let you know if it works.
It does not work. If Charmander faints and you black out, even if it's right in front of the trainer, the trainer doesn't see you and you go right to the PokeCenter. Oh well.
yes, i want to thank you for your effort too
I probably don't have the patience for this, but it's good to know the option is there. Thanks for the vid!
wtf i did everything right and when i come to viridian forest a lvl5 execute shows up.
LOL
Braydenamic you can get a big variety of pokemons
On the other hand, Execute coul wrap Brook up.
i got a lvl 1 but its experience was only 1 xp....
You needed to do 6 growls. You must have done only 2. Counts down from 7.
Wow, that took awhile. Finally a level 1 gengar...
I tried walking 8-12 steps instead of 4 steps to get a wild encounter in front of the trainer while poisoned. And make sure you save 1-2 potions for your rival battle.
Rival Battle:
Ember > Scratch > Scratch (If Pidgey did a sand attack after my first attack)
And then good luck on growling.
Gengar:
Good luck with your pokeballs. Keep tryin'.
You do have to redo the entire glitch otherwise the text just comes up and no battle
yeah I raged when that happened to me!
thanks, past me!
If you use the gym skip glitch and get to Mt Moon, there is a rocket grunt you can use an escape rope on where you get the tm for Mega Punch. From there, you fight the last trainer on the route to mt moon (just after the last bug catcher) and lower the attack stat and so on and when you go back to where you fight the rocket grunt, you'll fight a Gengar. Only issue is avoiding wild encounters in Mt Moon so save states are essential for this
yes, but you have to progress farther in the game for this to happen
bruh i am so baked rn
true, you could just win the battle, but then you have to walk through a patch of grass before you can get back to viridian forest. If you encounter a wild pokemon in said grass it will overwrite the special stat from gary's pokemon. If you lose you avoid the patch of grass. it's just safer
Thing is that you can't teach that gengar any other moves than Lick confuse ray and night shade since it's level 100 already and there are no move tutors in gen 1 and 2
Wait. There are things such as TMs
+ClearSky It only has two other moves it can learn anyway. One can be learned with a TM but to use Dream Eater, you will need another pokemon with a sleep inducing move.
I managed to replicate this hack on Yellow. It does work. On Yellow, I went and found this trainer in the forest and lost to the wild Pokemon that appeared in front of him. (I did see the little exclamation mark and heard the sound that plays when a Trainer sees you). Then I went left of Viridian City and fought my rival, losing to his Eevee - I used Growl on his Eevee as much as I could physically manage before he knocked me out, but I do think that five or six Growls should be enough. After that I SAVED (because you might need to restart it if you don't have enough Pokeballs) and went to the forest again - ran into a level one Nidoqueen and caught her. It took about ten Pokeballs to catch her. When I finally did get her, I got her some EXP and she shot up to 100. Nice.:) I'm going to try the other Yellow hack as well. (Also note that I did this on the emulator, so for those of you wondering, it DOES work, it just takes a bit of patience.)
So got to gangar and couldn't catch him. Also recommend not saving before entering the verodian forest if you can't catch him you'll loose out and have to start all over. I have 15 poke a balls and couldn't catch him any advice.
This is seriously one of the best glitches in the games ever. It's so OP.
I traded my mewtwo from fire red to leaf green before brock and it like disobeyed me and then I turned off my game and it was a level 5 bulbasaur ;-;
yes
and you're commenting on a gen 1 video because....
MagicPixel it's a fucking comment on youtube, why the fuck does his comment have to be about the same fucking gen???? If I say here and asked everyone in the comments who didn't comment about pokemon gen 1 why they didn't comment on gen 1 is be here forever
Damn what a dick question from the uploader
that is such a cute story.
YT recommending me this video after 12 years…. Insane
Watching this in 2017
Gengar in this vid is not a Pokemon.
It is a demon summoned by a ritual. It assumed the form of Gengar to appeal to its new master. Lol
Rich Lux Actually I’m watching in 2018
Pixel Perfect Pictures same
Nobody cares.
2018
I've caught a Nidoking at Lv 1 in Yellow and then he grew to Lv 100 after beating a Metapod.
thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much you are my favourite pokemon youtuber
Sweet! I can confirm that this glitch still works on the 3DS store's Pokemon Blue virtual console. :3 I also went for Gengar.
4:27 still waiting for that list ;)
Man I wish I had known of all these tricks back when I had these games 20ish years ago
nvm it took a lot of missing and i had to do the glitch all the way over but its good
you might wanna add that saving before the rival battle on cartridge is the best way cause before viridian didnt work for me
Yea I saved before viridian and it didn't work T.T
i eventually got it to work i recommend doing saving before you fight your rival
ok, I got it to work :D
You can get any pokemon in the game using this glitch, the pokemon you get correlates with the special stat of the last pokemon you encountered. The Rival's last pokemon has a special stat of 14 which is what generates Gengar in the fight. The last pokemon you fought before fighting Nidoking had a special of 7.
Google Mew Glitch for more information.
I actually did work when I walked in front of the trainer...but it was a metapod, and I had 1 health...ugh
RIP
I was mad that the pinga can't do crap when its in its second form.
+Kawaii Doge you would have to wait until it struggles
huh I totally forgot about that. I'm redoing the glitch over since I restarted my game, since I finished it
+Kawaii Doge That's why you get poisoned, in case it is a metapod.
Watching this in 2018. Take that Rich Lux.
Why does a gengar appear?
It was due to the Special stat of Gary's Squirtle. Because it was the last pokemon he defeated before encountering the pokemon, the special stat corrosponded to gengar for some reason in the code. This is just a version of the extended trainer glitch(a.k.a. the mew glitch)
Brendan Tjeerdsma ty
Gkvslsbas
I thought this man grinded a level 5 pokemon all the way to 100 before the first gym lol
if lvl 1 pokemon were never supposed to be in the game, then why do they when you preform this glitch?
Because you manually modify the level. It's just like how you can encounter pokemon over level 100 doing the missingno. glitch.
v0id19 oh thx
v0id19 i trying like 2 hours and nothing :/ ??
Hey brother you just earned yourself a new sub and like!!! This glitch actually works people I just did it today on Pokémon Blue. Freaking dope man. Only hard part is maybe the timing for the grass and getting off 6 growls.Anyways thanks for the level 100 Gengar 🔥🔥💯
But will Gengar even obey you, since you have no badges yet?
Yes because the player ID on it is his. That only affects traded Pokemon
It should obey you because since you caught it, you would be considered it's Original Trainer. The only Pokemon who disobey you because of high level are Pokemon whom others hatched or caught and traded them to you.
Dakota M Nope, you are wrong. The obedience rules were put in place during the first generation to prevent players from trading high level Pokemon and easily cruising through the game.
Pokemon obedience and exp gain are based on the Pokemon's OT number and your OT number. Gen 1 games had many glitches. Some of which changed your Pokemon's Original Trainer number or your own OT number. Whatever the case, a mismatching OT number causes your scenario to occur.
It was a common glitch, however it was more likely to occur if you tried to use game shark or any in-game cheating tricks.
I remember back when I played Blue on my Game Boy (the black and white one... ahh good times), my Charizard was pretty strong and about the only pokemon I used at some point because all the other pokemon were fainted and my English was really bad (my native language is Dutch and I was only 7 years old) and because of this I didn't know pokecenters healed my pokemon xD. But to get back to my point, I remember my Charizard "loafing around" because its level was too high (I was battling north of Cerulean City so, logically my pokemon shouldn't have been at lvl 36+ by then, I didn't have the Cascade badge either so...). It ended up fainting because I had to start using struggle a lot and then I realized the use of pokecenters when I blacked out for the first time xD.
robbert1210
Whenever your original Pokemon is getting extra exp or not behaving because he is too high level just check his OT number and compare it with yours. If for some reason the OT numbers don't match this will happen.
Like I said earlier, there were a lot of glitches during generation 1 that change the OT number of Pokemon and players. The only way to know is to check the OT numbers.
Sometimes in life, you have to make a decision. Like do I want Tim's Cascade, or just regular potato chips; and realistically that has nothing to do with this at all. But I will, press on...
I... WILL...
PRESS... ON...
where's that list of pokemons with - experience :)
This glitch dont work on cartidge.
1) because its very hard (you understand, VERY HARD and if it’s hard....the next steps will be impossible) to get poisoned by Weedle bec you can find it only at lvl 3 or lvl 2.
2) the fastest it takes to me 7:36:49 to pass the first part and you can ONLY save before the trainer because even if Gengar lvl1 spawns and you saves right before you will never be able to fight it again, but later I will explain better
3) if you dont save after the poke-center post recovery you will find 100% a wild pokemon into the grass before RED and you will ruin the glitch, I made this glitch 4 times (more than 1 day spent into the game) and I never pass the grass without find wild pokemon
4)YOU CANT CATCH GENGAR because you will never be able to throw him a pokeball, you will miss it everytime. I reached this step twice and the result was the same everytime. I tried to growl but he used “lick” and its fucking op even at lvl1, I almost get killed. ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO CATCH GENGAR WITH A POKEBALL.
gengar has a 5% catch rate at full health, but it’s not impossible.
difficult =/= impossible.
@@thorgidogofthunder when you will do the glitch on a real cart, then post the video and tag me in the comment
does this work on gameboy
+Pac superman yes :)
+v0id19 Does it work on pokemon yellow gameboy?
+Pedro Macedo Yes it does. :)
Does this still work if you chose squirtle?
+Kawaii Doge hey just tried it with squirtle and got a lv 7 pokemon so it doesnt :(
"You missed the Pokemon" is gen 1 way of saying the pokemon broke out with 0 shakes
Dude you need to put a sock over your mic :l
+oniburn666 That's not going to stop anything
Nice:)
Meme guy 6969 Yes it does help. It stops that constant faint fuzz.
Evan B No, the weird background noice
Buttered Toast 5 year old video, his mic is actually pretty good for the time
Must say, I was so expecting you to grind the shit out of that forest to do it manually... I guess that works too.
How do people even discover these things? DO they just put themselves in front of a trainer a 100 times and see if the outcome changes xP?
i think they look at the code
+DerTypHierNamens Olli yea
Where do they get the code from?
Tried this also on a Japanese Pokemon Red Version. The 6 times growl should be done to Rival's Squirtle or to encounter a Gengar Lv. 1. I messed up with that so I encountered a Lv. 6 Gengar in my first try. Really helpful video. Thanks
7:27 wysi
This absolutely works on cartridge and can be repeated as many times as necessary to catch Gengar if you save before you fight the Rival.
He won't be able to control his Gengar though...his LVL is too high
Incorrect. That only applies to pokemon received in a trade (with a different trainer ID). Since you caught and "raised" this pokemon yourself, it will obey
v0id19 so in other words, u can beat the living hell the elite four just with this level 100 gengar lol very nice glitch indeed:D
Funny how the dialogue that popped up didn't seem to be the same dialogue you'd normally get from the trainer that tried to battle you when you blacked out, heh.
Gosh i love these glitches. If only we all knew these glitches back then
Brock: pffft this kid will be easy
Also Brock: I’ve made a mistake...
Woooot confirmed on VC 3DS and luckily caught Gengar with the 1st pokeball. Can also confirm it transfers over into PokéBank!
WARNING if you are playing on the 3DS version save before the pokemon battle with your rival and re battle him every time do not save after that battle, because if you do and you do not catch the pokemon you have to restart the entire game to redo the glitch.
+hollowaxe doesn't take too long to get to viridian forest again though.
+Cas Crow yea but I thought people should know that you have to fully restart if you do save after the rival battle
+Cas Crow yea but I thought people should know that you have to fully restart if you do save after the rival battle
Almost all the Pokemon in the original games looked more scary than games that followed.
"But theres only save state" later *OPENS MENU* Me: " the fricking save is RIGHT THERE"
Is retro pokemon community still alive? I love this games.
It's called a Game Genie. I battled Brock in Pokemon Blue with a level 100 Charizard via Game Genie codes.
if you use your rival's squirtle, yes. but you can encounter other pokemon if you fight a wild pokemon after your rival
So many cool glitches in Pokemon RBY!
