    Imagine your son tells you he’s leaving to become the Pokémon champion and he’s back for lunch.
  • @DStecks
    I absolutely love that the Pokemon speedrun strategy is exactly the same strategy you employed as a 7-year old: just use your starter for every fight
  • @ariamentio
    “The chat had no idea what was going on” the chat: “I found cocaine in my dorm last year lol”
  • @shadooper
    The fact any of these can be "glitchless" is hilarious considering how broken these games were.
  • @johnsimon8457
    That bike text skip - game assumes you to buy a bike and glitches when you don’t. Pokémon RB is held together with duct tape and wishful thinking.
  • @esn_64
    Amazing, he gets 18 encounters and still manages to get a world record
  • I love Summoning Salts compelling narratives, atmospheric snazzy related background music, and overall strong emphasis on showing and not just telling
  • @ysquaredyobozo
    based on my knowledge of Gen1, glitchless isnt actually possible
  • @WereDictionary
    "Wertster's general strategy was to make it through the game with the minimum that was required" - me at work
  • @258thHiGuy
    Are you serious The whole time they thought you had to press A in 1/60th of a second When all you had to do was just hold it down? How did nobody else try that?
  • @wyattclough6204
    For anyone curious, the current record for this category as of today is 1:45:21 held by pokeguy. Edit: Apparently it’s now Hwangbro with 1:45:05.
  • @EnterANameReal
    2:20 "because Pokemon Blue gives you a higher chance of getting sandshrew after Mount Moon" that makes it sound like Pokemon Red has sandshrew
  • @ELStalky
    Kind of baffling that the ridiculously inaccurate in-game timer was not abandoned earlier.
  • @kymion
    I don't know how this guy does it but I am enthralled by every one of these videos, even though I haven't played any of them.
  • "But that is a progression for another day" Still waiting for it.
  • 10 Reasons why I won't speedrun Pokemon games: 1. RNG 2. RNG 3. RNG 4. RNG 5. RNG 6. RNG 7. RNG 8. RNG 9. RNG 10. 'Cause I suck
  • @H1pstr0n
    i'm still trembling with the story of choco mountain on the mario kart 64 video, man that was amazing
  • @mjc0961
    Holy crap. I'd probably reset after 18 encounters. Coming back to get a record is amazing.
  • @NiceRoboT
    Me: why don’t I have a girlfriend Also me: watches history documentary on Pokémon speed runs Update: I forgot to update this - I have had a girlfriend for about 9 months now, and I think I’m going to ask her to marry me. And she watches these with me sometimes.
