    I love that the hack isn't just FireRed but with all the Pokemon and modernized features we've come to love, but it changes up the story a bit too to have Johto Gym Leaders, the Rocket Executives, Team Rocket's story being tweaked and expanded, etc.
  • @barisafacan
    About the ai predictions; AI isn't predicting it's acting based on your choice so it's practically cheating. I tested it a 100 different ways with taking save files before each action and that's my conclusion. AI knows what action you're going to do and acts accordingly
  • @CaptainFidget
    This was phenomenal. Genuinely may have to go play this now. Didn't realise how far it had developed
  • Really good video man! I like the points you had about Radical Red. Can't wait to trudge through this tough game when I get the chance to. It was also edited really well. Keep up the good work man!
  • @mari.exe.
    Amazingly well written, I was hooked through the entire thing. Absolutely smashed it Baker! :_POG::_Baker::_leech:
  • @PandukuYT
    Ngl I was shocked to see you only have 1.8k subs, this video is of a really high standard. Definitely subbing
  • @briancordry8165
    got recommended this video just recently, loved it. great summary of the game! good luck on the nuzlockes!
  • @DukDukDerek
    Great video man! Been Nuzlocking it myself lately and loving it. Erika has a bad habit of exploding with her Hisuian Electrode as her last Pokemon for me. LOL
  • @BritishEagle
    This is a wonderful video! As a die hard fan of Radical Red, you nailed everything in this video 👏🏻 I can’t believe how long I have been playing this game and still not won lol
  • Very well put together video - such an underrated channel !!
  • @captainmod96
    That was very good. The hard work definitely shows. Well done Baker
  • @countseelore
    This is brilliant. In terms of standalone vids, I'd say this is your best yet
  • I'm just getting to Cerulean City. Strangest thing so far was Faulkner's penchant for spamming roost while I had him on the ropes. I thought it was going to come down to which move had more power points. Ended up speeding the emulator to get through.
  • @realgod1002
    i agree with this. Radical Red is something that appeals to a wide array of players. i've done a Normal and HC run of this and it's been a wild ride all around. and what sells Radical Red is that it makes u appreciate Pokemon that you otherwise never would use such as Conkeldurr in m case.
  • @JacrepidYT
    rubs pokemons back pokemon: OMG Thank you trainer I've magically been healed now we can continue on our journeys 🤣
  • @CheesySkye173
    back before the AI was truly fixed, aegis was so strong cause the AI didnt see immunities, so it kept spamming things like stab CC and things like that
  • @12fishcake
    Such a great coverage of the changes they made! Decided to hop in and give radical red a try, I knew it would be a blast with all that's included but I with the amount of tweaks they made I really needed a decent summary of what's actually in it before I start completely blind lol Can't wait to give it a go!
  • @KrispyKrabby
    You know, I'm not typically super keen on very difficult ROM hacks, but you've certainly made a very good case about RR. All of the QoL changes are very appealing to me for example and I'm happy you decided to go so in-depth about all of them. Consider my curiosity peaked... 👀👍
