Can you beat Pokemon FireRed while blind and deaf?
Переглядів 1,473,049
День томуPokemon FireRed completed without visuals or audio. The main goal of this project was to create a sequence of inputs that beats the game with an 100% chance of success. I fell just short of the gold standard 100%, but nonetheless, the sequence of inputs enables some fun challenges, like playing the game blind and deaf.
The game could probably be completed with a much lower level team, but I went with a safer strategy, leveling one member of the team very high. In the future, now that I've worked through this process once, I'll be taking faster, more complex approaches.

Part 1: 2:11
Part 2: 9:45
Part 3: 18:33

Imagine being Doug. One day, a girl comes to challenge you. She sends out a Charmander and defeats your Weedle. Then, the Charmander stops in place, and starts continuously growling at your second Weedle even as it slowly stings it until it faints. You have somehow won the battle and she pays you. She comes back, and every time she takes a step in the grass, she does a bizarre catatonic dance. The battle goes the same over and over. She doesn't even have money anymore.

This week we're going to see if we can beat Pokemon without seeing or hearing the game. Now obviously this isn't REALLY possible, so Twitch chat is going to help me out!" And then it would just be some vod highlight real of some streamer getting trolled while the game is effectively played by chat. I wasn't expecting this to actually be a fascinating TAS that *solves* the game by taking into account all possible RNG states. Well done sir.

@anomaliecosmos 7 місяців тому
Isn't the whole point of this run that it (near-)solved a game that has a degree of randomness? If a game lacks randomness, any TAS is effectively a blind/deaf run because it may as well not be responding to the visual or audio information - like, that's what makes this one so amazing, it accounts for and even sometimes syncs different paths on a tree of probability.

@@JesusInStripeZ Yeah I know, I'm just pointing out that beyond a certain threshold of unlikely you could argue it's practically solved because you get to the point where you're infinitely more likely to see equipment malfunction than the sequence of input not work. And since theoretical solves tend to assume equipment will work you can just assume they come with the caveat of the odds of equipment malfunction being the boundary for how consistent something is going to get before you consider it solved. Probably not satisfying if you're really wanting to get a pure abstract mathematical proof I guess, but since the method is actually fairly doable in practice and isn't just purely theoretical I'd say meeting pure abstract mathematical proof standard is unnecessary for the intellectual satisfaction of considering it practically solved =p Of course all that is irrelevant because pidgeys are evil and will fuck you up.

@@zackbuildit88 I would strongly suspect that it is /possible/ to solve this by looping the appropriate risks in and observing that the internal RNG has a finite number of states.

@thornrosealex Рік тому
I'm pretty sure you can pass The Pidgeys with arbitrary tolerance, like surge's puzzle 1. The battle can go at most 54 turns (l5 pidgey misses every tackle, sand attacks and struggles to death), so you attempt to escape 54 times each tile. Each step, you're either on the next tile or in your house. 2. You can't leave your house with the route's movements, you just don't move down-left-down to exit the door. So dead-runs stay neatly in the house while the alive runs proceed. 3. The death-runs exit the house by (more or less) spamming left-down and eventually all sync up in the bot left corner of Pallet. 4. Meanwhile, at the route's end there's a PERFECT trap spot to the left; a long stretch with a sign blocking up+right movement during route movements and walls blocking left+down as you sync death-runs. You basically can't leave without a very deliberate sequence, and you synch very easily just by spamming up-left. 5. So the death runs get to try again synch'd, while the successful runs stay very comfortably trapped. So you can choose to attempt the Pidgeys as many times as you want (decided before the run starts), reducing the chance of failure to whatever you feel like.

The thing is, no matter how long you go, there will always be the possibility of that one level 5 pidgey using a single sand attack and you missing all of your chances to kill it before it kills you. So while doing this again and again might give the impression that you are improving your chances, but if you are that one unlucky person it will go infinitely, so there's no point in doing it. The best you can do is "cheating" once and checking if you were able to get to the Viridian Forest or not.
@thornrosealex Рік тому
@@---oq5kb You're not trying to kill the Pidgey, you're trying to run each turn (which you can do just by spamming A) until you escape or the Pidgey kills you. The main point is that whiting out is not an immediate run ender, because you can sync up all the failed runs and try again without ruining the successful runs. You're right that it's not guaranteed, you have to choose before the run the number of times you retry. But each attempt reduces the chance of failure (successful runs stay successful, while previously failed runs can become successful), so you can pick an attempt count to reduce the chance of failure to whatever you want. It's the same deal as Surge's puzzle in the playthrough. He had to pick the # times he'd try the puzzle beforehand, so he chose to try 80 times to make it a 1 in Ten Billion (10^10) chance of failure. If he wanted a lower chance of failure he could've done it 94 times to make it 1 in A Trillion, 800 times to make it 1 in A Googol, or whatever. (Though I missed that level 5 pidgeys have sand attack, so the battles can last 54 turns instead of 39. Good catch.)
