Can you make a guide on how to beat red1 in under 6 hours

I really can’t believe how optimized this game has become since Jan beat it last year. I hope it gets optimized even more until platinum kaizo comes out

I’m hyped for this. I was running the game for a couple months back when pc started and recently picked it up again so I’m excited to see what the “meta” has become

I find this video both fascinating and demoralizing at the same time. On the one hand, I really like how the community came together around this one game by creating great resources and analyzing every detail they can find. On the other hand, this doesn't motivate me to ever nuzlocke this game. If it is required to have a cheat-sheet and damage calculator around for every battle, use an external resource to check my pokemons stats, and know how the AI works to be able to reliably beat the game, then it just isn't for me.

That’s understandable. It’s a game for a specific audience that’s okay with those things

I've been following you and Buhrito for a while and it's so sad that we can only see your E4. I know it's impossible for technical reasons to have daily content like PC, that's why I feel this video is a gift. Thank you for your insight and time. EK community is amazing.

Mudkip is both the strongest and cutest pokemon out there. Really though, loving how your content has really ramped itself up this past month. Your channel is popping off and that shows it.

Tabitha swapped to flygon the turn I dug, then quaked. With all of the resources available, it's challenging without being bullshit, mostly because I'm not getting suckered by a wobbuffet or choice band boom, so this is a thank you for making the guide that pushed me to start the game.

@Thund3rDrag0n12

Slowbro has a 50/50 chance of having either Shell Armor or Own Tempo as its ability. So if you try to confuse it and it goes through, then you have a Shell Armor Slowbro which is pretty much mandatory for the E4

Is it really the hardest? If I remember correctly pchal could only nuzlocke blue kaizo using items, i have no idea if other people actually hard core nuzlocked it but it seems to me that blue kaizo might be harder

@Sheepie_

2 жыл бұрын

maybe someone is crazy enough to attempt it, but it really isn't realistically possible to nuzlocke blue kaizo without items, the ai always knows what you're using and has infinite pps and healing items. There might be a theoretical way to do it, but it wouldn't he realistic

@nerdyfalco408

2 жыл бұрын

It's more difficult because blue kaizo is just not feasible without healing items for how the game mechanics work, and healing items are so broken that even an almost impossibile challenge like hardcore nuzlocking blue kaizo becomes easier (not easy, just less exctruciatingly difficult), while emerald kaizo is playable, just extremely difficult

Is it standard to be 1 level cap higher than the gym leader’s highest Pokémon? I was staying at 19 for Brawly, so no Garados.

@shilarin1887

2 жыл бұрын

No its not standard, just something people do in emerald kaizo because the early game is so ridiculously tough and it makes it so you don't need absolutely perfect encounters to attempt those first two gyms. Just cuts down on tedious early game resets due to poor encounters. Gyms 3 and onwards are level capped as usual. But that said a nuzlocke is a self imposed challenge, the rules can be whatever you want them to be to have the most fun with the game.

I'm not sure if this was a mistake, if I fucked something up, or if there was an update of some sort, but the part at Slateport where you're fighting the Aqua grunts you say to have a flail Gyara kill Shellder, Staryu, Croconaw, and Grimer, but Grimer has Shadow Sneak and just killed my Gyarados.
