Can Ash Ketchum Beat Pokémon Yellow and Become the Kanto Champion?
291,415
Published 2023-01-14
For decades, Ash has aimed to be a Pokemon Master. And recently, he finally achieved his dream of becoming the best pokemon trainer in the world.
But I believe that Ash could have been the champion all the way back in kanto, if he knew what he was doing. So I decided to play through Pokemon Yellow as Ash, using only his pokemon. Its not quite a hardcore nuzlocke, because that would have been a bit too difficult I think. Even so, the run is plenty hard. Lets see if Ash has what it takes.

Still early in watching the video, but regarding the Brock fight: When I was a small child playing Yellow for the first time, I remember beating Brock and waiting at the edge of town for him to come join my party like he does in the anime. I remember I kept walking toward Mt. Moon and then going back toward the City because I was confused about when he'd show up to come with me ahaha.

Its almost as if pikachu was meant to be a weak early-game pokemon and wasnt meant to be a pokemon capable of defeating everybody with enough plot armor
-
5:13 Hey, don't blame this one on Ash, Pikachu refused to fight Misty (though he seems perfectly fine doing so later in the anime, though not for quite a while).
-
This was amazing! The send off "After wandering across several region for 25 years this kid deserves a rest" hit me right in the feels. Thank you for you dedication on this project.
-
Ash didnt use Pikachu against Misty because Pikachu refused to battle. :p Ash actually knew that pikachu would have been a good mon to use so he tried sending it out first.
-
The reason even stage 1 pokemon can get so strong in Gen 1 is the extremely busted EV system. Since there is no cap in Gen 1 you will most likely max out all EVs during the level grinding, making your Pokemon really strong. Theres a reason they added a cap later.
-
I always grind Charmander to Flamethrower level before Erika's gym. Always.
-
Not trying to be an Ash hater but playing like Ash in the game really comes across like the player has absolutely no idea what he is actually doing! (Of course you did! It's a great video.)
-
I remember when I got yellow and found Pidgeotto in the forest. I didn't realize it was THAT rare😂
-
Much respect to you regarding the victory against Brock. Never would’ve imagined it was possible to beat him with a lv 12 Pikachu and Pidgeotto lol
-
I have seen similar challenges but your commitment to using the same team Ash did for key battles really made this interesting to follow.
-
I would love to see this for each region now
-
I've been waiting on this. I try to play like that but you just created a walkthrough for me cos I don't have the time to study how Ash would have done it. Thanks for "keeping it real"
-
Ugh. That Butterfree gets me every time.
-
My dude, I genuinely LOVED this video!!!
-
16:00 double kick is fighting type & Pidgeotto is resistant to it because of its flying typing. Bulbasaur is part poison so it resists poison
-
I forgot how much I loved Pokémon Yellow! 17:42 RUDE 🤣🤣 Squirtle is totally cute. But I like Wartortle mor
-
Congrats Joe! In just 2 weeks, this has become your most popular video(it's tied with the SoulSilver psychic run). I'm excited to see your next video, I wish you success!

This was better than expected and I enjoyed the nostalgic journey through gen 1 Bravo 😁
