What's the big deal about the safari zone? :o

You have to reach the end of the Safari Zone to get Surf, but once you enter you're limited by a certain amount of steps before you're kicked out (about 500 I think), and the Safari Zone is pretty big. Now you can see how this will be impossible.

Again a very likpatous story
Two necessary items in fact, you need the Surf HM, and you also need the warden's dentures so he gives you the strength HM.

It gives you a set number of steps (500 I think?) to complete, it's meant to catch "exotic" pokemon, but it's also mandetory (the HM for surf is deep inside).
As a kid it took me forever, and even later in life it's still a pretty tight limit.

It's a really big dick move, and you forgot that the only way to get strength is in there too.

Wow I totally forgot about the dentures. That's what I get for not playing Gen 1 in at least 5 years.
If the RNG has to get to Safari Zone unaided, I'm not sure they'll be out by the end of March.

It took him over an hour because Vermillion is so open-air that the bot has ended up walking around in circles a lot and even started backtracking to the underground tunnel.

This will be the final death of twitch. Either when the main hosting center burns down when the chat server combusts or when it becomes sentient and launches russia's nukes at itself to end the pain.

Isn't it theoretically possible to create a no-win scenario through the Safari Zone? There's a finite amount of money available to Red, and each trip in the Safari Zone costs money. If Red runs out of money, what then? Is the game just over?

It would be, but if the game gets to an unwinnable state the admin will simply cheat to let the game keep going.

Theoretically they could farm money with the Pay Day move (on a meowth or from the TM) but

You could potentially get stuck. The person running the stream is likely going to remove the step counter though, so the only way to leave will be to use all 30 Safari Balls.

Yeah, considering that (according to the interview) the streamer is already using a modded rom a few other minor tweaks (add more ledges) should be feasible.

Eevee is at least level 25 in R/B. I think that level alone makes the trip worth it.

RNG got Flamethrower, beat Gary then got Cut all within a ridiculously short period of time. It was amazing.

...Though now it will probably take literal weeks until it can learn cut and use it.

What? No, they have to take the long route from lavender town to get to fusicia now and I was just thinking about how arduous that's gonna be.

Course, that's if they ever cut this loving tree.

If you hold left while the guard stops you, you can walk past him. Or we can go through Saffron -> Vermillion -> East -> Beat Snorlax -> Riverroute -> South -> West

One thing I will say for the stream getting stuck is that the town music is just droning enough to let me zone out while doing homework.

It's been almost 20 years since I played a Gen 1 game, was plain old non-evolved Eevee good back then? Because plain old Eevee is pretty good in some of the games IIRC.

Twitch is gonna get past the tree eventually. They spent hours and hours getting past that 1 square wide path, but it happened eventually. The real stumbling block is gonna be the safari zone, assuming the streamer doesn't skip them through it.

On the RNG front, Mn has got cut and the boat left the dock, but now has to cut down the tree by surge's gym. There's not gonna be any progress past this I think.
