Red/Blue 151 FAQ

Q: What is 151 Pokedex?
A: 151 is getting all 151 Pokemon caught + registered in the Pokedex

Q: Do you beat the Elite Four/When does timing end?
A: Elite Four is defeated, it's the end of the run. Timing ends after Oak evaluates your Pokedex and sees 151, just before the credits

Q: How can you get <x>
A: There's a cool glitch called trainer fly, that if manipulated correctly, can get you any Pokemon you want, within a few minutes

Q: What is Trainer Fly?
A: Basically, you find a trainer with max vision, and as you just run into their line of sight, Fly/Dig/Teleport away. This let's them see you, but you immediately leave, disabling your interactions with anything but the PC. The way to fix this, is to fight another trainer, making sure they walk at least one tile to see you. When you return to the original route where you Flew/Dug/Teleported from, a Pokemon will appear.

Q: How do you manipulate the Pokemon that appears?
A: The Special Value of the last Pokemon you encountered determines the Pokemon that shows up. This means you can make any Pokemon in the game show up

Q: Why is it level 7? And why was that Mew level 1?
A: The level is determined by the attack stage of the Pokemon. So normal attack starts at Level 7, but if you use Growl 6 times, it lowers the level 6 times to 1.

Q: How do you have level 100s?
A: By manipulating a Pokemon to Level 1 that is in the Medium Slow experience group, it will have negative experience points. If you then give it less than 54 Experience Points it will underflow to make your Pokemon level 100 instantly

Q: Why is your name ZZZzzzr?
A: The Old Man glitch, where you watch the old man catch Weedle and then fly to Cinnabar Island and Surf along the coastline, can create several different Pokemon. 3 of these Pokemon are generated based on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th character in your name. "Z", "z", and "r" gives Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Oddish, 3 very desirable Pokemon for this run.

Q: What's that number I see on the screen?
A: That's how many Pokemon I have, I need 151 of course.

Q: What is Walk through Walls?
A: Walk through Walls is another glitch, where you exit the Safari Zone with the steps still counting by pretending to leave, saving and reseting, and walking out. If you then jump a ledge on the 500th step, you will be "above ground" and be able to walk through walls. However, to get yourself out of the Safari Zone room you are teleported to, you must kill yourself, by having only 1 Pokemon poisoned, and die

Q: When does Walk through Walls wear off?
A: Several things make it wear off, entering a trainer battle where they move to you, surfing, and entering/exiting buildings. The latter being the way it will always wear off in runs.

Q: How did you skip Brock?
A: The trainer who stops you has a pause in his dialogue where you can Pause, but not move the cursor on the pause screen. By positioning the cursor to Save previously, you can Save before he moves you to the Gym. After resetting, you can simply walk right past him, and skip Brock.
