Pokémon Red/Blue - Final Rival Battle

Описание: This is it.... the final battle with Gary MFing Oak, Champion of the Elite Four! Or Blue since the games came before the show in Japan. In which case, he'd be called Green or Red. Either way, he's the Elite Four champion and he has a good team, which changes depending on the Pokémon you started with. In Yellow, it depends on other things like if you didn't fight him before Viridian Forest or lost to him, mostly it just changes what his Eevee evolves into.

Just look at him, his hair stands out, almost like an afro. He has the most determined look on his face, and the most boss vest you'll ever see in the world, even though it's 8-bit. He holds a ball in his hand and just... it's too intense. Don't forget those moon boots.

Oh yeah, as for the fight, it's pretty difficult. I got REALLY close to losing, and I should've avoided messing with metronome but hey, you could always do something epic with it. Blue's Pokémon are mean, tough, and have good attacks (except for Rhydon and Exeggutor). With Gyarados as the final survivor, I reach with one Pokémon, level 50.

Fun fact: I inflict all 3 elemental status ailments: Burn, Freeze and Paralysis

Hate comments like "you suck" are gladly welcome, and good entertainment as well. I clearly made some mistakes in this battle, I hadn't played the game in many years before doing this "boss run" and only had the knowledge I had as a child. Knowledge which was even rustier than that. I taught cut to both Vileplume and Charizard... and I'd already known slash was always a critical hit, so I don't know what I was thinking or if I overwrote it by accident with something else and didn't feel like re-doing a portion of the game enough. Probably that's what happened

Was 15-16 when I wrote that description. Kind of cringing... This battle is insanely easy, and since I hadn't really played in a long time I didn't understand how the special stat worked or why the special attacks were bad on Alakazam. I'd thought special was just for attack, otherwise I could've beaten it real easily with probably just 2 attacks of strength with Charizard.

I also did drag it out a bit having fun with metronome, in general I just wanted to record an entertaining fight. But also, this fight represents essentially what all of us as children would've played out like, hence me not knowing about how dumb the special stat is in this game.

Update: Thanks for 300k views!! It had half that many last Summer.
