02:48

start using all you have to do is click

02:51

my link either in the description or pin

02:53

comment and you can download Opera GX

02:55

today so before we begin I should

02:57

explain briefly the concept of these

02:59

Legacy games the idea is not to make

03:02

Pokémon Yellow a modern Pokémon game

03:04

change all the mechanics anything like

03:06

that is to try and smooth out the rough

03:09

edges of games that are decades old

03:12

maintaining what made them so amazing at

03:14

their time while also adding quality of

03:17

life features there's a balancing act

03:21

and there's always going to be that

03:22

careful line to walk between changing

03:25

too much and not changing enough as

03:28

someone who plays generation one

03:30

essentially as his job I definitely have

03:32

a lot of opinions on ways it can be

03:34

fixed so I'm curious to see what yellow

03:36

Legacy does one of the first changes

03:39

you'll notice throughout the run is that

03:40

in yellow Legacy just like in Crystal

03:43

you can pick between a male and female

03:46

character now there was never a girl

03:48

character planned for yellow so this is

03:51

a completely custom Sprite and it looks

03:53

pretty good another change you'll notice

03:55

throughout the run is that even though

03:57

Pokémon Yellow when played on a Game Boy

03:59

Color would display in color a lot of

04:02

the palletes didn't quite match what we

04:04

would think of the Pokémon today so

04:07

you'll notice with Rattata it looks its

04:09

more normal purple color as opposed to

04:12

well whatever color this is but wait

04:16

there's more in terms of another much

04:18

needed visual difference while the front

04:21

Sprites had been updated twice since the

04:23

original Japanese red and green released

04:26

the back Sprites remain the same which

04:28

is why they pretty much never matched in

04:30

the North American Games well in yellow

04:33

Legacy painstaking effort was made to

04:36

redo the back Sprites of every single

04:39

Pokémon I'm going to try to use as many

04:41

as possible throughout this video to

04:43

Showcase them but suffice to say they

04:45

all look good and even a couple front

04:48

Sprites were redone as well although for

04:50

the most part the front Sprites other

04:52

than their color palettes are exactly

04:54

the same from Pokémon Yellow so if

04:56

you're used to my red and blue videos

04:58

that's probably why the front spres look

05:00

different one last aesthetic change that

05:02

wouldn't be incorporated into vanilla

05:04

Pokémon games until Generation 3 is

05:07

unique menu Sprites for each Pokémon in

05:10

the original Generation 1 games even in

05:12

yellow there were only 10 well if you

05:14

count Pikachu 11 menu Sprites so for

05:18

each Pokémon to get their own custom one

05:20

is pretty cool and does make the game a

05:22

fair bit nicer to play in my opinion but

05:25

let's be real nobody is playing a game

05:27

from the late '90s for Aesthetics while

05:29

they're nice how is the game play has it

05:32

been improved in any way well the best

05:34

way to determine that is to get into a

05:36

battle and what better battle to use

05:38

than the first gym battle versus Brock

05:41

but before we do notice something

05:42

different about Brock normally in

05:44

generation one his Overworld Sprite

05:46

looks I don't know kind of generic not

05:48

really like Brock but this game uses

05:51

something closer to his generation 2

05:52

Sprite Which is a big Improvement but

05:55

okay okay enough about Aesthetics so

05:57

you'll notice I have a gold de here

06:00

against Brock what the heck is going on

06:03

how do I have a goldine and an Oddish

06:05

with tackle oh boy this is not our

06:09

standard Pokemon and then I send out a

06:11

Vulpix the Vulpix would have been able

06:14

to knock out the Geodude but I wanted my

06:15

Metapod to get a little bit more

06:18

experience so I use Metapod for a bit

06:21

before it faints sending out Vulpix to

06:23

go for Ember again where did that come

06:26

from and now Beedrill is using pin

06:28

missile all of this is to say a lot has

06:31

been changed since the red blue and

06:34

yellow we know a lot of Pokémon have

06:36

been moved around including the Old Rod

06:39

itself which now catches goldine which

06:42

now knows bubble which I used to help

06:45

defeat Brock as in the let's go games

06:48

Oddish is now available in vidiian

06:50

Forest although it doesn't know absorb

06:52

which is new and Vulpix I caught on

06:55

route two now funny enough even though

06:58

typically I'm known as the guy who does

07:00

solo runs however before that I had some

07:03

pretty successful videos about catching

07:06

Pokemon so I decided to go back to my

07:08

roots and try to catch every single

07:10

Pokémon and in yellow Legacy all

07:14

151 Pokémon yep even Mew are available

07:18

to be caught if you go to Smith play's

07:21

release video you can download a Google

07:23

doc that will tell you where every

07:24

Pokémon is but the in-game Pokedex does

07:27

a good enough job and not only does it

07:29

tell you where the Pokémon are it even

07:32

tells you their level up move set the

07:34

one irritating feature about this really

07:37

cool Edition is that you can't scroll

07:40

like you would in later Pokémon games

07:42

like with all Generation 1 Pokemon menus

07:44

you just press a to go to the next page

07:47

so if you miss something you just have

07:48

to go back through it which if you're me

07:50

and press a way too fast happened all

07:53

the time but it's really cool now you

07:55

know without having to look up on

07:56

Bulbapedia where every Pokémon is and

07:59

what their move sets are this is a super

08:02

nice quality of life feature which

08:04

frankly I'm shocked we have not seen in

08:06

an official Pokémon release now it's not

08:09

just move sets and where Pokémon are

08:11

that have been changed trainers have

08:13

been changed as well this first bug

08:15

catcher didn't have a Metapod Kakuna and

08:18

Butterfree and so trainers throughout

08:20

the game have had their teams updated

08:23

their levels updated and overall this

08:25

makes this game a lot more difficult

08:28

than you might remember this won't

08:30

impact me now but as I try to fill up my

08:33

Pokedex by leveling up random Pokémon it

08:35

will become embarrassingly apparent that

08:38

this game was not intended to be played

08:41

the way I think the original gen One

08:43

games were which is swapping out your

08:46

Pokemon constantly and thus not being

08:49

overleveled in this game when I did that

08:52

as you'll see I was underleveled but hey

08:55

it's still me it's still gen one I think

08:58

we'll be okay okay as per tradition we

09:01

should talk about the Rival 2 battle

09:03

there are some changes but be aware he

09:06

does always lead with a spearo you can

09:09

see Geodude has a much improved back

09:12

Sprite its back Sprite is simply

09:14

atrocious and geodo does a good job

09:17

getting through most of the team however

09:19

finally Eevee does knock it out which

09:22

allows me to show another one of my

09:23

Pokémon sandrew I mean it's just a

09:26

random sandrew no way this is going to

09:28

be an important Pokémon for later it

09:30

just faints I don't even know why I

09:32

brought it up anyway we do actually

09:35

knock out the Eevee with Bulbasaur which

09:38

you still get from that NPC in Cerulean

09:40

City the starter Pokémon are all

09:43

available where they are in the regular

09:45

game but they are actually also

09:47

catchable where Eevee is as you can see

09:50

where I pull up the Pokedex and thus you

09:52

can get all three Evolutions in this

09:54

game as well as most Pokémon in a living

09:57

decks if you wanted to not all of them

10:00

there's a couple you wouldn't be able to

10:01

get but still pretty cool all right fast

10:05

forwarding a little bit I caught a bunch

10:07

of new Pokémon 35 in total and we're

10:09

ready to battle misty misty leads with

10:12

Psyduck closer to what she has in the

10:14

anime and her psiduck with confusion

10:17

makes quick work of bells Sprout however

10:20

in this game you'll notice the AI is a

10:22

little different they don't always go

10:24

for moves classified as super effective

10:27

which does actually make them a little

10:29

better one other thing I didn't mention

10:32

which is really cool are the experience

10:35

bars reminiscent of generation 2 this

10:37

way you know how much experience points

10:39

you have to gain luckily for me because

10:42

star me didn't go for a water attack we

10:46

were able to burn it and then venonat

10:48

has leech life now leech life has been

10:51

buffed substantially from what we know

10:53

in gen one although it's not quite base

10:55

80 power pretty sure it's base 50 power

10:58

but thanks to Charmeleon thanks to all

11:01

my other Pokémon we were actually able

11:04

to defeat Misty with venonat and move on

11:07

by the time we Face rival 3 I've already

11:10

played for 10 hours of in-game time

11:12

don't forget I played four time speed

11:14

and I'm a third of the way done my

11:15

Pokedex which is really cool considering

11:18

I'm not all that far into the game we

11:20

lead with Geodude because it did such a

11:22

good job last time and there's something

11:25

you might notice after I knock out the

11:27

radicate my XP bar seems to be broken

11:30

but it isn't broken you see one thing I

11:33

didn't mention is when you start a game

11:36

of yellow Legacy you get the option

11:38

between normal and hard mode in hard

11:42

mode the game automatically level caps

11:45

you at certain points depending on the

11:48

next gym leader this means our Geodude

11:50

cannot get to level 25 and that means it

11:54

won't become a grer for lieutenant surge

11:57

which may prove to be a a little bit of

11:59

a problem unlike rival 3 who was pretty

12:03

easy now if you're one of those people

12:05

who feels bad that I insult Serge

12:08

constantly don't you worry Serge's

12:11

Revenge will be sweet so all he has is a

12:15

Raichu however even though I'm capped at

12:18

level 24 Raichu is level 29 and it makes

12:22

quick work of my first two Pokémon also

12:25

in generation one don't forget Critical

12:27

Hits are based on your base speed

12:29

and in case you thought well that

12:31

doesn't matter you a Geodude it has surf

12:34

so this Raichu one shots every single

12:39

member of my team and that taught me

12:42

that this rom hack was not messing

12:44

around I would go on to lose to Surge a

12:47

few more times with this team trying in

12:50

vain to beat this level 29 Raichu but

12:54

eventually I had to go into my PC and

12:57

bring out my secret weapon and

13:00

unfortunately for Serge it proved to be

13:03

a little too much for him you see you

13:06

can catch a Doug Trio and although it's

13:08

not as overleveled as before it nearly

13:12

onot Raichu now all we need is to

13:15

survive an attack which Ivysaur can and

13:19

we beat Lieutenant Serge on our first

13:21

try after losing like seven times with

13:24

the other team oh also I want to mention

13:26

another really cool quality of life

13:28

feature you don't have to go into the

13:30

menu to use cut surf like you do in gen

13:32

one you can just press a like in

13:34

generation 2 it's really nice but as I

13:37

was saying well that change is nice it

13:40

is a nasty change in a good way that

13:42

these gym leaders are not going to be

13:44

pushover Serge had a water move he was

13:48

ready for my Geodude and the level cap

13:51

ensured I couldn't even get close to its

13:53

level one Pokémon was able to sweep six

13:57

how are the rest of these gym Le is

13:59

going to do well I decide to battle the

14:02

next gym leader I would say right away

14:04

but you can see I spent significant time

14:06

catching Pokemon we're at 68 now as we

14:09

go to battle Erica now Erica leads with

14:13

tangala and we have venon at bind is

14:16

still generation one bind meaning as

14:19

it's used I can't attack and another

14:22

thing you should know is that the AI

14:24

makes its decisions after you've made

14:27

your decision so it knew I was going to

14:29

switch there and put Charmeleon to sleep

14:32

you'll notice Charmeleon now has fire

14:33

punch as a better fire move which is

14:35

great and thankfully was able to take

14:38

out tangala victory bill comes out next

14:40

and we do outspeed you'll see it has

14:42

headbutt but it's not enough to knock

14:44

out charmelia next comes out Ivysaur a

14:47

new addition and its new move acid

14:50

knocks me out but venonat I go for leech

14:53

life after it goes for leech seed and I

14:56

knock it out and then her vile plume

14:58

this is is not what she would have in

15:00

yellow she would have a gloom and you

15:02

can see vile plume looks closer to what

15:05

it looks like but it's giving me fits

15:08

paralyzing by Menat going for solar beam

15:10

I'm going to have to swap into do Duo

15:13

but it puts it to sleep right away and

15:15

knocks it out with a powerful acid

15:17

attack acid by the way has been buffed

15:19

to 60 base power now since this vop

15:22

plume uses solar beam and will go second

15:25

I decide to go for dig and try to time

15:28

everything unfortunately Erica predicts

15:31

it and uses stun Spore but I do get it

15:34

to half Health now War tle doesn't

15:37

really have much it can do I'm able to

15:39

get off a bite but solar beam knocks me

15:41

out and now all that I have left is

15:43

drowsy but drowsy is able to put V plume

15:46

to sleep and while it does wake up I'm

15:49

able to just just miss knocking it out

15:54

how frustrating but hey Erica beat me

15:58

that doesn't happen much after Erica

16:00

beat me one more time we do get a little

16:02

bit more luck this is something I want

16:05

to talk about with this game in general

16:07

which is that a lot more Pokemon have

16:10

moves that put you to sleep or confuse

16:12

you than in the base game and so luck

16:15

does become a little bit more of a

16:16

factor than you might be used to

16:18

especially in this battle if I don't get

16:20

put to sleep and I'm actually able to

16:22

attack I can do significant damage and

16:24

so by the time we get to vile plume I

16:26

have five Pokémon remaining and drowsy

16:29

is able to take it out on its own you'll

16:31

notice that burn deals 1/8 damage

16:34

similar to how it used to which is

16:37

enough to knock out the vile PLO but

16:40

going forward not necessarily in the gym

16:42

battles but especially in the Pokemon

16:44

Tower which we're going to get to there

16:46

are just a lot of Pokemon a lot of

16:48

hypnos haunters gastle that use moves

16:52

that are very RNG heavy hypnosis can hit

16:55

about 50/50 time confusion 50/50 that is

16:59

something I definitely started to notice

17:01

but again I probably wouldn't notice

17:04

this if I was using Pokemon at the right

17:06

level as opposed to whatever Pokemon I

17:08

just need to evolve to fill out my

17:10

pokeddex I guess the main takeaway here

17:13

is balancing generation one with its

17:15

limited move list and Smith blazs did

17:18

not add a single new move in this game

17:21

certain moves had their types Chang such

17:23

as slam being a dragon move but other

17:26

than altering what certain moves did

17:28

it's the same move list and thus it's

17:30

always going to be difficult to give the

17:32

AI good move list because it's just so

17:35

limited and so sleep rap confusing those

17:39

are things they can give the AI to make

17:41

them harder it just does introduce a

17:44

little bit more luck which is

17:45

reminiscent frankly of a game I really

17:47

liked Pokemon Stadium it's just

17:49

something to take note of now I was

17:51

streaming this live on Twitch which will

17:53

help explain why I forgot to battle

17:55

Giovani and instead went straight to

17:57

rival 4 but but look at this rival 4 no

18:01

pushover level 34 FOH and then a shelder

18:04

at level 32 I'm just going to speed

18:06

through this battle a little bit because

18:08

the shelder does a really bad job at

18:11

being a level 32 shelder rth takes out

18:14

my War Toral now I send out graler once

18:17

again graler has been an amazing Pokemon

18:20

but another thing I should mention is

18:22

that unlike in traditional Pokémon games

18:25

they will evolve via level up between 38

18:28

and 42 I believe for the four trading

18:30

Evolutions you'll also notice I did beat

18:33

rival 1A so jolon is the Pokemon the

18:36

Rival uses and since I was so sick of

18:38

being put to sleep I decided to turn

18:40

that on Rival 4 sleep has not been

18:43

changed so you still can't attack the

18:45

turn you wake up and it still lasts

18:47

forever and after we win we evolve

18:50

drowsy to Hypno meaning it is going to

18:53

get retired maybe it made the game

18:55

harder but it was really fun getting to

18:57

use pretty much every Pokémon and

19:00

getting just a brief glimpse into how

19:02

they were changed for tradition's sake

19:04

let's talk about Giovani number one so I

19:07

lead with war tal bubble beam doesn't

19:09

quite knock it out but second shot is

19:11

fine Kangaskhan so this is very similar

19:13

to what we remember my graler is

19:16

unfortunately paralyzed and you'll

19:17

notice this Kangaskhan has submission

19:20

that is a new move and submission in

19:22

this game cannot miss so that's pretty

19:25

cool I try to use Cubone but it's just

19:28

way too weak

19:29

as is grimer it does survive but poison

19:32

gas misses this is once again me

19:35

underestimating my opponent and I don't

19:37

have enough good Pokemon war tle is not

19:40

going to get the job done and I need to

19:43

use a better team if I'm going to beat

19:44

Giovani number one so I do just that

19:47

bringing a few Pokemon out of retirement

19:49

including Venusaur now level 32 and it's

19:53

able to one shot then put Kangaskhan to

19:55

sleep but it wakes up right away and

19:58

actually does some pretty good damage

20:00

but I'm able to use leech seed giving me

20:02

back some HP and taking away Kangaskhan

20:05

critting with Razor Leaf which will also

20:07

knock out Marowak and then Persian comes

20:10

out we get a crit again that's

20:12

guaranteed by the way and I send out

20:15

Kadabra to try and finish it off not

20:18

going to do it but thankfully grimer

20:21

will it is quite a bulky Pokémon and

20:24

with some retired Pokemon we were able

20:26

to beat Giovani an inefficient use of

20:29

experience points in a game where you

20:31

can't rebattle trainers but spoiler

20:34

alert most pokemon you actually don't

20:36

need to evolve people would tell me

20:38

later the few Pokemon I think there's

20:40

only about 10 of them that actually need

20:43

to be evolved via level up the vast

20:45

majority can either be caught and most

20:47

of the ones where you can't catch the

20:49

evolved form evolve via Stone so in fact

20:53

I probably didn't need to be leveling up

20:55

as many Pokémon as I was but I didn't

20:57

know that back then

20:59

and hey when else am I ever going to use

21:01

a grimer anyways the next major battle

21:04

we talk about is Kaa and there is a ton

21:07

of game between now and then so my

21:09

team's going to look pretty different

21:11

it's kind of fitting as I cross the

21:13

halfway point of the game by Gym badges

21:15

I have halfway completed my Pokedex but

21:19

Koga would not be as easy as normal in

21:22

yellow he has three venonat and a

21:24

venomoth in yellow Legacy he leads with

21:27

a goldbat which Bo speeds my Kadabra and

21:30

you'll also notice I'm using experience

21:32

all that way I don't have to use worse

21:35

Pokémon I thought graer would be a good

21:37

swap in for Muk but it knows Mega drain

21:39

Smith Blaze predicted it Kadabra does

21:42

outspeed Muk but sludge is the power of

21:44

sludge bomb 90 base power no shot Cubone

21:48

comes out next no shot with mega drain

21:50

and I reset I'd lose a couple more times

21:53

before some of the developers told me to

21:55

turn around that I'd missed one of the

21:57

trainers as it turns out Janine makes an

22:01

appearance in this gym and she's not

22:03

quite as difficult as her dad I was able

22:06

to beat her in my first attempt a pretty

22:09

cool little Easter egg something I

22:11

wasn't expecting since for the most part

22:13

this game didn't actually change things

22:15

like this that often but after losing to

22:17

Kaa so handily I battled all the

22:20

trainers other than the ones in Sil

22:22

company and I think it made a bit of a

22:25

difference so my cadabra is now in

22:27

Alakazam should be tired but it has one

22:30

last thing to do it evolves at level 42

22:33

by the way which is why it's at level 42

22:35

and you can see with the experience all

22:37

at least the other lesser Pokemon are

22:40

still gaining some experience but yeah

22:43

Alakazam just completely obliterates

22:47

koga's team and it made me realize I

22:50

probably didn't want to be using it for

22:52

the rest of the run I was having more

22:55

fun when I was trying to piece a team

22:57

together not just use the evolved form

23:00

of my favorite Pokémon to sweep I mean

23:02

it worked and it was good but going

23:05

forward I think we should try to use

23:06

some more underappreciated Pokémon most

23:10

of these will be the Pokémon I need to

23:12

level up in order to finish the decks

23:14

and it was this point after being able

23:16

to use surf out of battle that I was

23:18

able to complete a large majority of the

23:21

Pokedex unfortunately this motly crew of

23:24

Pokémon that needed to be evolved

23:26

weren't very good and were being

23:27

defeated by just random Sil company

23:30

trainers our Ace as you will see is

23:33

dragon air it's good with three

23:36

Elemental moves and slam coughing and

23:39

ekin also need to be leveled up this way

23:42

but since a lot of the trainers have

23:44

Hypno they weren't so great now you

23:47

might think I selected the dome fossil

23:49

in Mount moon but I actually selected

23:51

the Helix Fossil you get your fossil at

23:53

level 40 meaning I only have to level up

23:55

omite once as for Kabuto you get it

23:58

where you would get the good rod in

24:01

fuchia city but it starts off extremely

24:04

underleveled meaning we're going to need

24:06

to get it all the way to level 40 to

24:08

become a Kabutops as you're seeing now

24:11

this team did not farewell against the

24:13

random trainers in Sil company but

24:16

rather than bring back retired Pokemon I

24:19

spent hours just trying to build them up

24:23

first against wild Pokémon and then just

24:26

finding the perfect route and with the

24:28

exper share on slowly but surely the

24:31

team did start to improve and at some

24:35

point we hit a break through our team

24:38

genuinely started winning despite the

24:41

fact as you'll see they're pretty

24:43

underleveled unfortunately as it would

24:45

turn out beating random Sil company

24:47

trainers doesn't mean you'll beat rival

24:50

fival so rival fival leads with a

24:53

paraset and then a Gyarados dragon air

24:56

has Ice Beam and it has Thunderbolt but

25:00

Thunderbolt is not enough to knock out

25:01

Gyarados Kabuto knows rock slide but

25:04

Gyarados has surf meaning we're going to

25:07

need dragon air to knock it out well

25:10

that did eventually happen Ryon came out

25:13

next and we knew surf so we could knock

25:16

that out bringing Alakazam Al Kazam went

25:19

for try attack inexplicably but just

25:22

completely made minced meat of the rest

25:24

of my team we were making progress we

25:27

had gotten through the build building

25:29

and again streamed live on my twitch I

25:31

spent over 2 hours just battling random

25:35

rockets in Sil company losing a ton but

25:38

occasionally winning with this team and

25:40

since it was clear we need to level up

25:42

more I decided to go battle all the

25:44

swimmers on the way to the Seafoam

25:47

Islands and couch Articuno but as it

25:51

turns out it wouldn't be so simple

25:53

because webra was in my way with her

25:57

level 55 Snorlax and if you thought

26:00

rival fival was tough a level 55 Snorlax

26:05

is not something this team could defeat

26:07

so we will battle webra later in the

26:11

meantime leveling up against random wild

26:14

Pokemon you can see dragon air is

26:16

close-ish to evolving and it will need

26:19

to do so probably to defeat that Snorlax

26:22

but we're going to have to come back a

26:23

lot later and level up somewhere else

26:26

for now one place I figured would be a

26:28

great place to level up for a Kabuto and

26:30

a dragon a is Blain's gym at this point

26:34

I don't need to level up any more

26:35

Pokémon than the ones I have so even

26:37

once they evolve I don't have to retire

26:39

them now you might assume with Kabuto

26:42

Blaine would be a total joke you would

26:44

assume

26:46

incorrectly because as it would turn out

26:49

this rapid Dash knows a bunch of great

26:51

moves including high jump kick which is

26:54

super effective and with rapid Ash's

26:56

speed it gets a lot of of crits so at

26:59

first I thought this might be a mistake

27:02

but in the end Dragon a ended up taking

27:05

some high jump kicks knocking it out

27:08

it's level 50 but it's still a dragon

27:09

air Charizard used wing attack so I'm

27:12

able to knock it out but uh-oh I've hit

27:15

the level cap so dragon air cannot

27:17

evolve to Dragonite prior to defeating

27:20

Sabrina who is the gym leader I'm

27:22

supposed to be facing you'll also notice

27:25

my team has gone through a little bit of

27:27

a change I've swapped ekin out who

27:29

evolved to Arbok off screen for Pony

27:32

which needs to evolve into Rapidash

27:34

unfortunately it didn't really do much

27:37

in this battle but dragon air is doing

27:40

pretty good using its Surf and not

27:43

knocking out Arcanine it's all up to

27:45

Kabuto Arcanine digs a hole and I decide

27:49

eh I'll live it and I do unfortunately

27:53

for me I didn't realize Blain has a

27:55

Magmar in this game so we're going to

27:57

have to use that level 11 sandrew and it

28:01

faints right away darn I wish it would

28:04

be

28:05

useful unfortunately we get so close and

28:08

yet we lose so perhaps Blaine is going

28:11

to be a little harder than I thought and

28:13

while we're able to beat all the

28:14

trainers in his gym to actually beat

28:17

Blaine maybe we'll need kaboo TOs and

28:20

good thing I have all these rare candies

28:23

let's use them now and you know what not

28:26

only can we get kaboo tops we can also

28:29

get a wheezing so I battle again using

28:32

dragon air not as much this time because

28:35

it faints to Charizard but Kabutops

28:38

after seismic toss knocks out Charizard

28:41

Ninetails doesn't have energy ball

28:43

that's a Gen 4 Move it goes for solar

28:45

beam so I can swap into Pony it doesn't

28:49

tank the solar beam wow anyway we're

28:51

going to be able to knock it out with

28:53

surf next comes out our canine it's

28:55

going to go for dig this time I do want

28:58

want to swap and I'll swap into Meowth

29:00

by Meowth then I go into wheezing I'm

29:03

going to try to use sludge here and

29:05

poison it fortunately no dice Kabutops

29:09

it digs a hole again and I don't tank it

29:12

now all that's left is the sand slash

29:15

and it

29:16

faints shocking after losing a few more

29:20

times I decide to change strategies

29:23

dragon air knocks out Rapidash faints to

29:26

Charizard but I have a new weapon

29:30

remember the badge boost glitch yeah

29:33

that's still a thing here so after using

29:36

Swords Dance I can outspeed everything

29:40

and uh that changes things I tried not

29:43

to use it I wanted to play this like I

29:46

played as a kid but like after all these

29:49

losses I am using underleveled Pokemon

29:52

it was pretty cathartic just to show how

29:55

overpowered badge boost glitch is

29:57

because not only only do we get the

29:59

attack boost of Swords dancece which is

30:01

massive we get the speed boost as well

30:03

so it's basically like better Dragon

30:06

Dance from Generation 3 and our Kabutops

30:09

can learn it and Blaine stood no chance

30:12

but it isn't just Blaine who will fall

30:15

to the badge boost glitch no we opened a

30:18

Pandora's Box and at this point it will

30:20

become clear who the true champion of

30:23

cheating is I decide to give wheezing

30:26

some experience points and knock out

30:28

Parasect with it Gyarados comes out and

30:31

I'm going to swap here to Dragon Aire it

30:34

goes for double edge but dragon air is

30:36

so bulky since I've beaten Blaine the

30:38

level cap has risen which is nice so

30:41

dragon air can gain a little bit of

30:42

experience points but the most important

30:44

thing is that at level 50 we outspeed

30:46

Alakazam unfortunately it lowers our

30:48

special and slam is categorized as a

30:52

special move in Crystal Legacy Dragon

30:55

was changed to physical but in this game

30:57

it is made maintained its status as

30:59

special and oh yeah if you wanted to see

31:01

sand slash get its revenge jolon has

31:04

nothing on it the rivals Ace is defeated

31:09

by a level 29 sand slash let's go buddy

31:13

for the record that sand slash actually

31:15

was very useful about the 100 or so who

31:17

watch the stream are probably going to

31:19

be irritated because that level 17

31:21

sandrew beat Pokemon three times its

31:24

level this just goes to show the

31:26

difference between watching ing a

31:28

complete playthrough and a major

31:30

battle's highlights sometimes Pokémon

31:32

aren't great in major battles but really

31:35

good against standard trainers and sand

31:37

slash was one of them I'm glad that

31:39

against jolon you guys finally got to

31:42

see how good it can be speaking of how

31:45

good it can be let's talk about how good

31:46

this team can be Giovani leads with a

31:49

Kingler which uses a critical hit

31:51

crabhammer and knocks out my Kabutops

31:54

into hits now I didn't mean to swap into

31:57

Meowth but it will gain some experience

31:59

points and will knock it out with

32:01

Thunderbolt next comes out the

32:03

Kangaskhan slam being just a good Dragon

32:06

move that can Flinch man I can't explain

32:09

how helpful that is because it makes

32:11

minced meat of both Kangaskhan and then

32:14

Machoke I decide to go into sand slash

32:17

look how tanky it is and look how it

32:19

takes out that Machoke you guys are not

32:21

ready for the Revenge of sand slash yes

32:24

it will faint to a Golem of course it

32:26

will it was a pretty low HP but you guys

32:29

have no idea how great the sand slash

32:32

will be and then dragon air finishes off

32:34

Persian and giovon number three is

32:37

history next comes Sabrina the psychic

32:40

type trainer she only had three Pokemon

32:43

in her original battle in yellow but not

32:45

this time slam psychic and my special

32:48

fell but I still knock out Abra Hypno oh

32:52

my god do I hate these hypnos they love

32:54

to use psychic sand slash couldn't tank

32:56

it and they love to use hypnosis but

32:58

thankfully this one didn't until it did

33:01

but I woke up right Away Great slam

33:05

doesn't knock out Mr mime and we go into

33:08

Kabutops and hey guys double badge boost

33:12

special drop attack raise Get Wrecked

33:17

and Kadabra best Pokemon can't beat the

33:20

badge boost glitch nor can

33:22

Alakazam with one sword dance and a

33:25

lucky special drop although it is 33%

33:27

the time we were able to outspeed some

33:29

of the fastest Pokémon in Generation 1

33:32

now a question could be asked here Jos

33:35

what do you feel about them leaving in

33:37

the badge boost glitch and I'm kind of

33:40

of two minds on one hand it is an

33:43

essential feature of Generation 1

33:46

however a lot of people including myself

33:48

didn't really even know about it until

33:50

the mid 201010 it wasn't even all that

33:53

well documented before then now one

33:56

thing to note is that the badge boot are

33:58

essential for Pikachu as they affect

34:01

Pikachu even more boosting it by

34:04

25% and that the boosts in general were

34:07

a part of the Pokemon series until gen 3

34:11

but should they have patched the glitch

34:13

part I'm going to be honest and say it

34:16

maybe would have been nice for Hard Mode

34:19

the fact that once we get Swords Dance

34:22

it essentially becomes Super Dragon

34:24

Dance has made things a little bit

34:27

easier and as you'll see we're going to

34:30

start beating trainers with some crazy

34:32

Pokemon way underleveled and you know

34:35

what part of that is on me I refrained

34:37

from using it for so long but the truth

34:40

is I was about 7 hours into this

34:42

playthrough I wanted to get this video

34:44

done relatively close to the hacks

34:46

release and so I did choose to use it to

34:50

speed things up a little bit but it is

34:52

something that maybe in a future patch

34:55

could be removed from the hard mode but

34:57

but anyways after defeating Sabrina I

34:59

was going to complete almost all of the

35:02

rest of the Pokedex and that meant

35:04

catching the legendary birds after

35:06

seeing webra block Articuno I knew there

35:09

would be someone blocking Zapdos and

35:11

there was this is Craig Craig has a

35:15

jolon and my sand slash well we saw how

35:19

sand slash handled jolon before handles

35:21

it just as well unfortunately next came

35:24

out Aerodactyl and sand slash really

35:26

doesn't have anything for that yet yet

35:28

so I need to rely on dragon air which

35:31

isn't quite able to one shot so it

35:33

starts taking some damage wheezing

35:36

learns Amnesia by the way in this game

35:37

which is huge anyway after dragon air

35:40

faints we have to rely on wheezing to

35:42

try and knock out Snorlax and somewhat

35:45

surprisingly it's almost able to do so

35:47

Pony then is able to get a Flinch and

35:49

knock it out with a stomp but cler

35:52

although I'm able to outspeed I wouldn't

35:54

have been able to knock it out had it

35:56

not used EXP

35:58

explosion now all that's left is

36:00

venomoth and Doduo venomoth gets one

36:03

shot by Arcanine and Doduo is actually

36:05

just there because it flies me around so

36:08

I am defeated by Craig both Craig and

36:12

webra I wasn't able to first try Victory

36:16

however Craig didn't see me at my final

36:18

form because I didn't have my Kabutops

36:22

and so I'm sorry Craig you're in for a

36:24

rude awakening after obliterating your

36:27

on with the greatest sand slash in

36:30

history we then swap into the one and

36:33

only

36:35

Kabutops Kabutops unfortunately gets hit

36:39

pretty hard by rock slide but I also use

36:41

rare candies and after accidentally

36:44

swapping into venomoth it's time for

36:47

Dragonite Aerodactyl misses with a

36:49

hyperbeam but we are able to oneshot it

36:51

unfortunately since we're at the level

36:53

cap we aren't going to be able to gain

36:57

any EXP experience points but we are

36:59

going to be able to absolutely destroy

37:02

Craig's team his final Pokemon his

37:04

Arcanine is nickname furball how cute

37:07

too bad it's been annihilated by

37:09

Dragonite I don't know why I'm gloating

37:11

I'm using a pseudo legendary at this

37:13

point but hey we win and we can go and

37:15

catch Zapdos but there's one more

37:18

trainer that needs a rebattle webra but

37:21

first might as well get Giovani out of

37:23

the way because if I beat Giovani I can

37:26

actually gain levels for from defeating

37:28

webra and I beat Giovani actually twice

37:31

the first time with Dragonite the second

37:33

time less with Dragonite because I

37:36

wanted some experience but yeah that's

37:39

the eighth gym badge now revenge on

37:41

webra like we saw webra leads with her

37:44

Snorlax and sand slash not so great a

37:48

matchup all right we're going to go into

37:51

kabootops and go for Swords Dance

37:53

earthquake does a lot but rock slide

37:56

doesn't knock it out all right wheezing

37:59

time to finish the job which it does

38:01

with a sludge next comes out Gengar

38:03

wasn't expecting that so I go into

38:05

venomoth unfortunately hypnosis Dream

38:08

Eater pretty good combo Dragonite I then

38:11

go for slam and it puts me to sleep but

38:13

I wake up right away slam puts me to

38:15

sleep wake up right away you can't beat

38:17

this Dragonite it's been with me since

38:19

level 30 it's my friend and we all know

38:22

how friendship is absolutely integral to

38:25

the anime of which Pokémon Yellow is

38:27

based vaporeon's a great Evolution but

38:30

it's not a Dragonite Onyx well Onyx got

38:33

buffed but it's still a freaking Onyx

38:35

and then finally Machamp champ of

38:38

nothing hyperbeam I laugh in its face

38:41

take that webra move to the side as I

38:45

catch the legendary bird Articuno the

38:49

144th Pokemon that I need to catch all

38:53

that's left are a few in Victory Road

38:56

and finally is in the post game

38:58

presumably Mewtwo and Mew in order to

39:02

get to Victory Road we do have to get

39:04

past rival 6 rival 6 his jolon does have

39:07

headbutt but the greatest sand slash in

39:10

history it doesn't care Pidgeot then

39:13

comes out next and it knows Sky attack

39:16

that's pretty powerful move considering

39:18

it no longer takes a turn to charge but

39:21

after going for swords dancece I miss

39:23

and then it goes for double team and

39:26

yeah this is giving some Pokémon Stadium

39:29

Vibes for sure thankfully Dragonite

39:32

doesn't care about your evasion it'll

39:36

just knock you out with an ice beam and

39:39

you know what exeggutor well leech

39:40

seed's kind of bad but two ice beams

39:44

Marowak three ice well actually just one

39:46

Ice Beam on the Marowak and then I use

39:48

surf on Arcanine leech seed hyperbeam

39:51

who cares man we're a freaking Dragonite

39:55

and we slam into Alakazam Flinch it crit

39:58

it call it victory for Dragonite in

40:02

Victory Road there were more custom

40:04

trainers with names obviously of the

40:06

developers but they couldn't stand a

40:09

chance against this super team no

40:12

nothing will get in my way I will have

40:15

Victory I will 100% this game and I will

40:18

be the king of Pokemon Yellow Legacy he

40:21

may be Smith plays Pokemon but I shall

40:24

be known as jro's wins Pokemon

40:29

love I'm trash talking someone who made

40:30

a game but anyway yeah let's go beat the

40:33

Elite 4 so lur leads with slow bro I led

40:36

with Kabutops because rock is super

40:38

effective against ice but when I saw

40:40

slow bro I got a little nervous and

40:43

decide to switch to venomoth it went for

40:45

amnesia I can go for Sleep powder here

40:47

and I'm actually going to swap once

40:49

again to gabut Toops now that's asleep I

40:51

can set up Swords Dance and then start

40:53

using rock slide and even with cloer

40:56

amazing base defense it stands no chance

41:00

and we sweep through her entire team

41:02

which is the same team she has in red

41:04

blue and yellow just in a bit of a

41:06

different order Bruno also seems to have

41:09

the same team at least thus far I lead

41:12

with venomoth because venomoth actually

41:14

is really good against fighting type

41:16

Pokemon also I know I added venomoth

41:19

late but I love venomoth it's one of my

41:20

favorite Pokemon wait remember how I

41:23

said it was the same it's not we got a

41:25

poli something Bruno never really had

41:28

then a hitmon Lee it goes for Mega kick

41:30

and venomoth guess it wasn't as good as

41:32

I thought it would be now we go into

41:34

sand slash because hitmon Lee actually

41:36

has pretty bad base defense and level 41

41:39

sand slash almost knocks out level 57

41:42

hitmon Lee Rapidash as its name suggests

41:45

is rapid and while it does knock out the

41:47

hitmon Lee it struggles against Onyx so

41:50

I go into Kabutops but Onyx predicts and

41:52

goes for earthquake again it doesn't

41:54

actually predict they know what I'm

41:55

going to do and then Mach comes out and

41:58

I have fly on Dragonite a powerful

42:01

physical flying move by Machamp now we

42:04

have Agatha her yellow team already is

42:07

quite different from what you remember

42:08

in red and blue way less luck base I

42:11

lead with venomoth I decide to go for

42:13

Sleep powder and Nightshade is no longer

42:15

a set damage move it destroys but it

42:18

doesn't beat sand slash who onshot the

42:21

Gengar if you can believe it sand slash

42:24

just too op now we're going to start the

42:27

get annoying double team toxic strats

42:30

last time it worked but this time it

42:33

doesn't and we still have surf for

42:35

Marowak Arbok rock slide will knock it

42:37

out and then Gengar number two

42:40

Nightshade does crit I mean it's a

42:42

Gengar I decide to go into sand slash it

42:46

goes for psychic unfortunate but we

42:48

always have Dragonite to mop up it takes

42:51

three hits but that's three battles

42:55

three victories for the super team

42:57

battle number four versus Lance

42:59

expecting Gyarados nope Dragonite but

43:02

yeah my Dragonite knows Ice Beam so

43:06

there goes Dragonite Gyarados comes out

43:09

next and I go for Thunderbolt there goes

43:11

that Charizard I don't have surf anymore

43:13

but Thunderbolt is still super effective

43:15

hyperbeam does nothing we level up

43:18

Aerodactyl it goes for hyperbeam no crit

43:21

thankfully ice beam and then Dragonite

43:23

number two we've made it to the champion

43:26

easily

43:27

this team has been way better than I

43:30

thought it would for Pokemon I just

43:32

needed to evolve they're going to sweep

43:34

through the Elite 4 the final Champion

43:37

can be very difficult will we persevere

43:40

only one way to find out he leads with

43:42

Alakazam and unfortunately sand slash

43:45

cannot beat that I wasn't expecting it

43:48

no worries we still have our Ace

43:51

Dragonite but uh-oh it knows Thunder

43:55

Wave and then it recovers

43:57

then I'm paralyzed then it crits then it

44:01

recovers uh what do I do

44:05

faint uh-oh Kabutops I needed to go for

44:08

sword dance psychic lower is my special

44:11

but that means double badge boost all

44:13

the way across the sky yeah yeah so

44:16

intense we knock it out with rock slide

44:19

and then surf the ride on we're going to

44:21

level up but not before we knock out

44:23

this Gyarados that means we're back to

44:25

our normal speed but we still have that

44:27

buffed attack and we actually still

44:30

outspeed arcine that's pretty surprising

44:32

actually and we one-hot exeggutor no we

44:35

don't that's surprising too it knocks me

44:38

out but Rapidash will outspeed and knock

44:40

it out now all that's left is jolon it

44:43

goes for headbutt I go for flamethrower

44:46

no burn Thunder rapid Ash doesn't stand

44:49

a chance venomoth I go for Sleep powder

44:52

it headbutts me first but I put it to

44:55

sleep psychic no special drop St asleep

44:58

psychic special drop stays asleep

45:00

psychic stays asleep psychic and

45:03

venomoth is the Victor

45:07

jolon had nothing venomoth the backup

45:11

Kadabra on my bug teams does the trick

45:14

we didn't even use wheezing and we first

45:18

try Victory the entire Elite

45:21

4 good stuff now normally that would be

45:24

the end of the video but there is some

45:26

other stuff to do in this game that I do

45:28

want to talk about before I give some

45:29

closing thoughts first off as soon as

45:32

you go on to Route One Professor Oak is

45:34

standing there and while I was able to

45:36

first try Victory the entire Elite 4 Oak

45:40

obliterated me with his Taos so it

45:43

showed I still had a far way to go you

45:46

also can infinitely rematch the rest of

45:48

the gym leaders all of whom have buffed

45:50

teams with the exception of Giovani who

45:53

for story reasons leaves the gym so

45:55

there are seven gym leaders in which to

45:57

battle and a couple other surprise

46:00

battles that I'm not going to spoil for

46:03

you but are pretty cool you also can

46:05

rematch the Elite 4 and like in modern

46:08

Pokémon games they do have improved move

46:10

sets buff levels Etc but it may not

46:14

surprise you to learn I first try

46:16

Victory them as well after doing all the

46:18

rematches I decide it's time to finish

46:20

the Pokedex finish what I started so we

46:23

go into Cerulean cave which I actually

46:25

haven't been in in years but to my shock

46:28

getting Mewtwo wouldn't be as easy as I

46:30

thought there was a trainer waiting for

46:33

me Smith from Smith Blaze Pokemon he

46:37

leads with an Aerodactyl and my sand

46:39

slash once again was unprepared after I

46:42

swapped in but after trying to hyperbeam

46:45

my Dragonite it met a swift faint by an

46:49

ice beam I then flyed against Gengar and

46:51

although I don't knock it out I nearly

46:53

do and at half HP we made it to tenac

46:56

Cru Thunderbolt does a knock it out and

46:58

sludge bomb does a crit and poisons so

47:01

my Dragonite may not last much longer

47:03

Alakazam goes for reflect however and so

47:06

it'll knock it out Tauros I faint to

47:09

poison but Kabutops even though it could

47:12

have earthquake I decide to go for rock

47:14

slide and Smith plays Pokemon isn't

47:17

defeated yet he still has a star me a

47:21

critical hit rock slide's not enough I

47:23

went for surf cuz it's more accurate my

47:25

mistake then it goes for surf now I need

47:28

to knock this out venomoth come on I

47:30

believe in you it goes for Thunderbolt

47:33

it crits it paralyzes oh come on it

47:36

paralyzes again Smith is going to beat

47:38

me no way come on I just gloated against

47:41

him Thunderbolt paralyzes I go for

47:44

amnesia it goes for surf Thunder misses

47:47

psychic hits oh no Rapidash and I think

47:51

Smith's going to win it goes for psychic

47:53

I go for agility stomp Flinch Stomp

47:56

Thunderbolt and Smith does beat me but

48:00

in the rematch I get my revenge because

48:03

while Smith may know how to improve

48:05

generation one I know how to break it we

48:08

badge boost glitch nearly through his

48:10

entire team this allows Dragonite to

48:12

take out the Alakazam quicker but Tauros

48:16

makes quick work of it but now we have

48:18

wheezing out I'm going to go for sludge

48:21

it goes for blizzard sludge poisons

48:24

hyperbeam does knock me out and because

48:26

it's gen one hyperbeam he will get to

48:29

attack again it goes for blizzard

48:30

against rapid Ash and don't forget

48:32

that's neutral in gen one that's

48:33

actually how it works I go for agility

48:36

stomp to try to Flinch don't get it and

48:38

so we're going to have to go into sand

48:40

slash blizzard misses I go for Swords

48:43

Dance fire blast another Swords Dance

48:46

but it faints first and I was trying to

48:48

outspeed I can't venomoth versus Star me

48:53

once again this time I put it to sleep I

48:56

go for Mega drain Mega drain and mega

48:59

drain and Smith Blaze Pokemon has been

49:03

defeated allowing me access to Mewtwo

49:06

who I'm able to catch with the master

49:09

ball and there's just a few things left

49:12

to do first let's get revenge on

49:15

Professor Oak we use badge boosting

49:17

Kabutops to beat the Tauros almost we

49:21

actually get a Flinch with rockslide

49:23

which isn't the thing in generation one

49:25

but we're able to knock out char Ard

49:27

we're even able to get a super super

49:31

clutch Miss with sleep powder Blastoise

49:34

goes for reflect but it's too little too

49:36

late and Kabutops nearly swept through

49:39

the entirety of Oak's team nid King is

49:42

able to knock me out but sand slash It

49:45

Wants Revenge it won't get it sand slash

49:48

is a bit hit and miss in this video

49:50

venomoth however has been clutch as heck

49:53

and we've defeated Oak but in talking to

49:56

Oak he talks about going to cabar in

49:59

order to find something so we go to

50:02

cabar we locate Oak and it seems like he

50:05

wants a rematch so let's go US versus

50:08

Oak the final battle part two Tauros is

50:13

level 78 and this time it one-hot

50:16

Kabutos before it can badge boost glitch

50:18

it blizzards Dragonite but it doesn't

50:21

kill and ooh this is not going to work

50:24

after missing with blizzard it thunders

50:27

but we survive we knock it out and

50:29

Zapdos comes out Ice Beam is critical

50:32

hitting and that's lucky because after

50:35

light screen oh we don't knock it out

50:37

and then it te- waves and then it knocks

50:38

me out yikes we go into Rapidash Thunder

50:42

Wave we a come on hits all right next uh

50:47

venomoth you've been clutch okay still

50:49

clutch we knock it out sick Articuno I'm

50:52

not surprised we put it to sleep and I'm

50:55

going to send in sand slash

50:57

sand slash Swords Dance one it's still

50:59

asleep Swords Dance two it's still

51:01

asleep oh goodness we're going to

51:04

outsped Articuno and knock it out with

51:06

rock slide is this sand Slash's time to

51:09

shine take that Moltres double super

51:12

effective we lose the speed and I'm

51:14

going to go for submission don't quite

51:16

knock out Snorlax we actually deal half

51:18

back as recoil but another submission

51:21

knocks it out and then nid King it uses

51:24

earthquake knocks me out we have two

51:26

remaining please rock slide come on no

51:30

tank and is weezing going to be able to

51:32

do this on its own rock slide I go for

51:35

amnesia please miss or something alas

51:39

not quite but with a single battle we

51:42

can just try again like with Smith plays

51:45

and this time I lead with venomoth

51:47

because I don't want to deal with this

51:49

Tauros so after we put it to sleep it's

51:52

time to badge boost and unfortunately

51:54

for Professor Oak he didn't know about

51:57

the badge boost glitch guess he's not

51:59

really an expert in all things Pokémon

52:02

and Kabutops this time is able to sweep

52:04

through his entire team and once we go

52:07

to where the secret key was we can

52:09

encounter the 151st Pokémon Mew weaken

52:14

and catch it and that my friends is the

52:18

end of the game there is nothing left to

52:21

do in Pokémon Yellow Legacy I have 100ed

52:25

every aspect aspect of the game as it

52:28

exists so what are my final thoughts

52:31

this was definitely a really fun way to

52:33

play Pokémon Yellow this is a fun way if

52:36

you want a Nuzlocke or solo run and

52:39

you're looking for a challenge that is

52:40

still generation one but a lot more

52:44

difficult I think the quality of life

52:46

visual changes made things much nicer I

52:49

even mention before but the bag having

52:51

triple capacity as well as the game

52:54

telling you when the box is full were

52:56

very nice additions those were awful

52:59

when I tried to catch Pokémon back in

53:00

the day I do definitely think this game

53:03

is worth checking out with that said if

53:05

I did have to rank them I will say that

53:07

Crystal Legacy I like quite a bit better

53:10

there's nothing wrong with yellow Legacy

53:12

but I do think Crystal makes a better

53:14

base for a fun experience while with

53:17

yellow there was a little bit more

53:19

frustration and cheese with Crystal I

53:21

felt like I really had to master Gen 2

53:24

mechanics to win and I felt satisfied

53:26

this game I felt a sense of Pride at

53:28

completing everything but as you can

53:30

tell the battles I was kind of just

53:32

toying with the opponents by the end

53:34

trying to use cheap sleep and badge

53:36

boost strategy but again I had a really

53:39

good time and strongly recommend you

53:41

check out yellow Legacy thank you guys

53:43

for watching I'll be back soon with a

53:45

new video and if you like videos where I

53:47

talk about RX let me know maybe I'll

53:49

talk about more of them until then take

53:51

care
