objectives:

  • Emulator used: BizHawk (various versions, starting from 2.4.2, works on version 2.8)
  • uses CGB in GBA BIOS for console verification
  • forgoes save data corruption
  • aims to beat the game as fast as possible

game and run info:

Pokémon: Blue Kaizo is a hack of Pokémon: Blue version. It is meant to give Pokémon gen 1 a new feel and make it much more difficult.
This TAS follows the route shown here: https://pastebin.com/EEQ1UEk7

Thanks:

Thanks to the Pokémon community for getting me interested in the Pokémon series, and this hack (as well as helping me through different sections of the game, such as manipulating rival 1 RNG and the TID.) Enjoy!

Samsara: It's April 10th, I should probably claim this for judging, after I pass all of these traps.
Samsara: The point of showcasing a hack is to actually play it, not just skip the entire thing through Pokemon's increasingly broken library of glitches. A glitchless TAS that shows the game off may be publishable under the new hack rules, but something like this I feel can go no further than Playground. Neat demonstration, but ultimately pointless in terms of properly showcasing the changes made in the hack.
