Blue Kaizo is definitely notable for battle difficulty, but aside from Gen 1 exclusive mechanics, much of that has been recreated elsewhere. What makes Blue Kaizo truly special is the overworld. That cycling road hill where you need to go back and forth is tricky to do even despite the large timing windows, and the mazes are all brutal with the screen crunch.

Oh yes, when I played through this game several times, I always used save states and load states whenever I took on those mazes and such, so whenever I inevitably fall down a ledge when I mean to go left or right and then up, I can reload and try again as much as I want. I really don't like the mazes, but I do like the cave that requires you to push boulders down holes in order to get through the cave, and there was a time that I got through and then forgot an hm and realized it when I tried to get into the next town, I had to backtrack an awful amount to get the hm, and I thought I had to push all those boulders again, but thankfully the game takes pity on you and doesn't reset the boulder, because if it did, I would've stopped playing for the day. 😅😁

I have recurring nightmares about the Lavender-Fuschia journey. That was a special kind of pain just to make fly a required HM

I just imagine poliwrath putting on shades and walking away from all of those Explosions like a bad ass.

This is a Kaizo for the player. Player: "This is a Kaizo for the NPCs"

I like to imagine everyone is so shocked that a critically injured Polewrath is taking down their entire team despite the type advantages that all they can do is a surprised gasp. "..!" before the trainer off to their next victim.

Next stop: Pokemon Crystal Kaizo TAS. *cries in Shuckle*

Good God I think that tas would take at least 12 hours due to the many back to back and back to back to back battles you have to do, and you have 16 gyms to do, with the Kanto gym leaders all having 6 Pokemon on their team, and each gym leader has higher leveled Pokemon than the last, and their Pokemon will be higher than level 100! Yikes! I'm glad in Emerald Kaizo the max level the Elite Four have for Pokemon are level 100! The max level for a battle was lv115 in Blue Kaizo, and lv127 for the final fight in Crystal Kaizo!

Kaizo is all about intentionally shitty game design, and that's exactly what you're seeing here.

I always dreamed this would become a thing. I more dreamed for Emerald Kaizo but this is a good start. As far as I know, I'm the only person who even attempted to speedrun this romhack to beat all Gym Leaders and no sequence breaking. I would use Vileplume all the way up to getting Cut, and then set up a variant of the Trainer Fly Glitch to encounter and catch Mewtwo, of which then I steamroll the rest of the hack with Mewtwo, but I also keep Vileplume as backup, as well as add Aerodactyl, Jolteon, Machamp, and Slowbro to deal with Pokemon better than what Mewtwo could. These extra Pokemon were only for E4. Until then, Mewtwo was running solo. The Speedrun is more than 9 hours. I would absolutely love to one day see what Crystal Kaizo and Emerald Kaizo would look like for TAS and Speedrunning!

Do you have any thoughts on the best Pokemon to use for a TAS of Crystal Kaizo or Emerald Kaizo? The battles would be much more difficult because there's no Gen 1 miss, so getting KO'd by strong opponents is a constant threat.

The general "Kaizo" phenomenon has been a thing in the West for maybe 15 years. Named after an infamous romhack of Super Mario World, the word literally means "rearrangement" and usually means that the elements of a game have been changed around to present a much greater level of difficulty, requiring in-depth knowledge of the game and its quirks to succeed.

This makes me think back to Pikasprays playthrough of this. It was entertaining but grueling at the same time.

theres something really funny about the encounter rates being so horrendous that it's likely faster for the tas to just avoid going into grass entirely wherever possible instead of manipping

Poliwrath truly did live up to the wrath

4 1/2 hours?! Fuck yeah! Nothing feels nicer to sleep to than some ol' Gen 1 music and gameplay!

When the most optimized playthrough of your romhack is over 4 hours long, there's something incredibly wrong.

Amazing run and games ! Gg

After all poliwrath did, leaving him behind just before the elite 4 was a top 10 anime betrayal for sure

But, it failed!

In my head cannon, I'm imagining polywrath going for the submission and then being smart enough to notice the opposing pokemon start to explode and runs away from its blast radius (still can't explain all the other misses though)

In Gen1 games, there is a glitch with 100% accuracy move which you can still miss with a low % chance.

@@gmsthrakkes2992 This is true, but because that chance is so rare, I just pretend that the polywrath is just really smart since it dodges all of the explosions.

I think my favorite part about this hack is that alpng with the unbearable encounter rate in caves, like half the encounters are high speed or explosion mons to make sure you either fail to run or can't catch pokemon. Just for that extra little bit of evil.

You know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually quite enjoyed playing through this hack! I can’t deny some tedious and brutal sections, but even those were so fascinating with just how evil the dev could make stuff. It is, one may say, delightfully devilish.

Theres an awful lot of gen1 misses and crits for this to happen for real!

I hope a radical red tas to be released soon🔥

pokemon dark rising now

every route should just be what happened in the seafoam islands. make strength after the first badge, and have every single remaining tile in the game be like a cave/grass, but keep the amount of trainers

Why did the TAS only use rare candies up until lv 99 and not 100 before the Elite 4? The explanation is not in the author's note.

@YGOThor

Pretty sure it's because they need a bit more EV's for the champion fight, and if you level up by battling, you get all the EV's you gained from each fight, whereas you would not get them by levelling up to 100 before the e4.
