<h1>Sequence Breaking Pokemon FireRed</h1>
|
|
|
|
This is the story of my quest to <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SequenceBreaking">Sequence
|
|
Break</a> Pokemon FireRed Version. I decided a good place to begin my quest would be Fuchsia City instead of
|
|
Palette Town. This is what happened...

<h2>The Original Idea</h2>
|
|
|
|
In the zoo in Fuchsia City in front of the
|
|
Safari Zone, there is an extinct Pokemon. This Pokemon will be either
|
|
Omanyte or Kabuto -- which one it is depends on which fossil you chose in
|
|
Mt. Moon. So the question was, <em>If you could get to Fuchsia City without
|
|
having chosen a fossil, what Pokemon would be shown at the zoo?</em><p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/000.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot">
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
So, I set out to sequence break Pokemon Fire Red version. I decided to
|
|
use walk through walls cheats to get to Fuchsia City as soon as it was
|
|
convenient. I had to play the game long enough to get a starter Pokemon
|
|
(I chose Charmander) and a Pokedex, because the game does extremely
|
|
weird things if you cheat and start battling and capturing Pokemon
|
|
without having these two items first.<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/001.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot"><br>
|
|
<em>My level 7 Charmander.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
So, enable the cheat codes and get out of Palette Town!<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/002.png" width="426" height="438" alt="Screenshot"><br>
|
|
<em>The Walk Thru Walls cheat and Level 1 Wild Pokemon</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
I couldn't find a cheat code that would disable random battles entirely,
|
|
so I used a "Level 1 Pokemon" cheat so any random battles I do get into
|
|
will be with Pokemon of reasonable levels.

|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
Now that we've finally arrived in Fuchsia City, let's check out the zoo
|
|
and see what extinct Pokemon is there!<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/008.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot"><br>
|
|
<em>Looks like the default is a Kabuto. Mystery solved!</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
If you didn't choose a fossil Pokemon, it looks like the default is
|
|
to show Kabuto in the zoo. Remember that ordinarily it's not supposed
|
|
to be possible to get to Fuchsia City without having chosen one of the
|
|
fossils, because the fossils block your path through Mt. Moon.<p>

|
|
<h1>Getting Caught Up</h1>
|
|
|
|
Now that we're in Fuchsia City, can we try to continue the game from
|
|
here without cheating any more? We should be able to! I only have
|
|
a level 7 Charmander and every Pokemon in this part of Kanto is around
|
|
level 30, so what can I do about that?<p>
|
|
|
|
Use the Safari Zone! I can catch wild Pokemon here without having to
|
|
battle them, and the Pokemon levels will be comparable to the average
|
|
level of Pokemon in the Fuchsia City area.<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/009.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot"><br>
|
|
<em>And I have $3,024 to spend on the Safari Zone game!</em><p>
|
|
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/010.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot"><br>
|
|
<em>Entering the Safari Zone!</em><p>
|
|
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/011.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot"><br>
|
|
<em>The first wild Pokemon I run into is a Lv31 Nidorino!</em><p>
|
|
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/012.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot"><br>
|
|
<em>Captured!</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
Remember also that the Safari Zone contains the Surf HM. But, I
|
|
can't use Surf outside of battle until I defeat the Fuchsia City
|
|
gym leader. Good thing I'm in Fuchsia City!<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/013.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot"><br>
|
|
<em>I found the Surf HM inside the Safari Zone.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
From the Safari Zone, I've captured a Nidorino, Ryhorn, Nidoran♀,
|
|
Paras, Exeggcute, and Venomoth. Unfortunately none of my Pokemon are
|
|
able to learn Surf, so even if I do defeat the Fuchsia City gym leader,
|
|
how will I escape?<p>
|
|
|
|
But wait! There's a Fishing Guru in Fuchsia City! I can get a fishing
|
|
rod from him!<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/014.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot"><br>
|
|
<em>I got the Good Rod.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
I was wondering for a minute how the fishing rods worked. Ordinarily you
|
|
find the first Fishing Guru in Vermilion City, and you get the Old Rod
|
|
which can only catch Magikarp. Then you get the Good Rod from Fuchsia
|
|
City which can catch Goldeen, Poliwag and Magikarp. And then the Super
|
|
Rod can catch more Pokemon.<p>
|
|
|
|
I was wondering if maybe the rods were incremental, and that the Fuchsia
|
|
City Fishing Guru would give me the Old Rod since I talked to him first.
|
|
But apparently the rods are hard-coded, so I got the Good Rod. With this
|
|
I caught myself a Level 10 Goldeen from the pond in the Fishing Guru's
|
|
back yard.<p>

|
|

Before taking on the Fuchsia City gym, I need to level up my Pokemon
|
|
some more. The best place to do that is to head out on Route 15.<p>
|

<em>Route 15 from Fuchsia City to Lavender Town.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
My Charmander is too weak to battle, but my other Pokemon aren't. I
|
|
can power-level Charmander by putting it out first in battle and then
|
|
switching it with someone else. The first few battles caused Charmander
|
|
to level up 2 or 3 times at once. Three short battles later, and...<p>

<h1>Level Grinding on Silence Bridge</h1>
|
|
|
|
After battling my way through the Bikers and Bird Catchers, I finally
|
|
made my way to the bottom of Silence Bridge.<p>
|

|
<div class="center">

</div><p>
|
|

It's a straight shot north to Lavender Town!<p>

<em>The Fishing Guru's house.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
I found the other Fishing Guru's house and got a Super Rod. With
|
|
this I can catch Dratini in the Safari Zone. Dragon Pokemon are
|
|
cool, right? And I don't even have a single gym badge yet!<p>
|
|
|

|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
And, here's Snorlax. This Pokemon blocks my access to Lavender
|
|
Town to the north, and Vermilion City to the west. I can't get
|
|
a PokeFlute to wake up Snorlax until I've already been to
|
|
Lavender Town and Celadon City.<p>
|
|
|
|
But look! I could Surf right around Snorlax and get to Lavender
|
|
Town! Now I have my plan. I just need to defeat the Fuchsia
|
|
City Gym Leader, teach my Goldeen how to Surf, Surf around the
|
|
Snorlax and get to Lavender Town!<p>

<em>My party so far...</em>
|

</div><p>
|
|
|
|
My Exeggcute knows Confusion, which is Super Effective against
|
|
poison type Pokemon. The Fuchsia City gym is full of poison types,
|
|
so Exeggcute is my best bet for beating the gym leader.<p>

the Good Rod, now let's teach it how to Surf.<p>

Now that we've gotten to Lavender Town, it will be really easy
|
|
to get back on track. At this point we can Surf, but we still
|
|
don't have any Pokemon that knows how to Cut. But we can easily
|
|
find our way back to Vermilion City and Cerulean City from here!
|

Just watch...<p>

Now I've made it to Celadon City. There's a lot of exciting things

there with my Charmeleon, but I can't get in!<p>

Rain check! I need to get to Cerulean City and defeat the water

it to one of my Pokemon!<p>

In the virtual Game Freak headquarters in Celadon City, you get
|
|
the Hot Tea, which you then give to the guards that surround
|
|
Saffron City and then they allow you into the city. Saffron City
|
|
is the central hub between Cerulean City, Celadon City, Lavender
|
|
Town, and Vermilion City. This will allow us to get back to all
|
|
the major Kanto cities. Now we're getting back on track!<p>

We've made it to Saffron City now, and we only have a single

Now, the next place I should go is north to Cerulean City. You
|
|
can get <em>in</em> to the city without Cut, but you can't get
|
|
back out. I'll need to see Bill anyway to get the S.S. Ticket,

so I can get the Cut HM from the S.S. Anne. So, north it is!<p>

My rival Blue challenges you when you try to leave Cerulean

City to see Bill to the north. Ordinarily, if you play the
|
|
game properly, you're trapped in Cerulean City with nowhere
|
|
to go <em>but</em> north.<p>
|
|
|
|
Blue's Pokemon though are super weak compared to mine.
|
|
Completely destroying him takes no effort at all. And then
|
|
I'm off to see Bill, destroying any trainer who gets in my
|
|
way.<p>

|

|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
And with the S.S. Ticket, I'm able to get out of Cerulean City
|
|
and head south. I cut through Saffron City instead of taking
|
|
the underground tunnel and arrive in Vermilion City.<p>

Now, this is where the first really interesting quirk happened
|
|
with my sequence breaking. I didn't waste time battling trainers
|
|
on the S.S. Anne since they don't stand a chance against me
|
|
anyway, and I headed straight for the Captain's Cabin.<p>
|
|
|
|
Ordinarily, your rival will challenge you to a battle right before
|
|
the Captain's Cabin. But, Blue was absent! He didn't show up to
|
|
challenge me. I wonder why? Is it because I have the Fuchsia City
|
|
gym badge already?<p>

Now, with the Cut HM, I can challenge the Vermilion City gym leader.<p>

Now with the Vermilion City gym out of the way, I went back to

Celadon City to pwn my way through their Grass-type Pokemon

Now, when I defeated the Vermilion City gym, I'm able to use

Fly now. I can get Fly in Celadon City, so, let's go get it.

Also, I captured a random Pidgey I found in the grass so that

I'd have a Pokemon to teach Fly to.<p>

<h1>Breaking Mt. Moon</h1>

<em>Where should I Fly to next?</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
As you can see, I've now been to every city except for Pewter
|
|
City and Indigo Plateau (but the latter is normal, as that's
|
|
the very last city you go to).<p>
|
|
|
|
I'm gonna fly to Cerulean City because I have an idea on how
|
|
I can further sequence-break this game. Since I can Surf, I can
|
|
escape from Cerulean City going west and get to Mt. Moon, and
|
|
enter Mt. Moon from the wrong side.<p>
|
|
|
|
This will place me on the <em>other</em> side of the fossils,
|
|
and let me choose my fossil without having to battle the Pokemon
|
|
trainer who guards them!<p>
|
|

<em>The Cerulean City cave.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
This trainer is blocking the entrance to the Cerulean City Cave,
|
|
where Mewtwo lives, because you can't get in there until you've
|
|
beaten the entire game. But I'm not interested in that cave, I'm
|
|
going to head west to Mt. Moon!<p>
|
|
|
|

<em>The fossils!</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
And here we are. Ordinarily, I would be on the opposite side of
|
|
the fossils, and I'd have to battle the trainer down there first.
|
|
After winning, he'd let me choose a fossil, and he'd take the
|
|
opposite one. But I'm standing right by the fossils right now!<p>
|
|
|

<em>The trainer automatically goes and takes the other one.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
As I expected, taking the fossil has triggered the trainer to
|
|
take the other one. But, I've skipped the battle with him now!
|

See, look!<p>

<em>Oh. Thanks for the warm welcome to Pewter City.</em>
|

</div><p>
|
|
|
|
I've encountered Pewter City's "invisible wall" from the wrong side. The
|
|
invisible wall is this trainer who's supposed to stop you from leaving
|
|
Pewter City until you've defeated the gym leader, Brock.<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">
|
|
<img class="portrait" src="/creativity/articles/fire-red/067.png" width="480" height="320" alt="Screenshot"><br>

<em>I'm sure I have the right stuff, buddy.</em><p>

<em>Brock doesn't know what he's getting himself into...</em><p>

<em>Brock's strongest Pokemon doesn't even stand a chance.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
With Brock defeated, I've now run out of ways to sequence-break this
|
|
game. I have the first 5 badges and have unlocked the paths to every
|
|
city in the game. This is the point at which the game played
|
|
legitimately and my sequence-broken game converge.<p>
|
|
|
|
I guess I can head south to Viridian City though...<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">

<em>Dude, I was catching Pokemon since before you were programmed.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
This old man stopped me on my way in to town to teach me how to catch
|
|
a Pokemon. Because I never talked to him before I left for Fuchsia
|
|
City at the beginning of my quest.<p>
|
|
|
|
And at this point I'm out of ideas. I guess I <em>could've</em> held
|
|
off on fighting Brock, and headed straight for the Pokemon League
|
|
and had a little battle with my rival Blue and completely kicked his
|
|
ass...<p>
|
|
|
|
My last idea is to head back to the Fuchsia City Zoo, and see that
|
|
extinct Pokemon one more time. Since I took the Kabuto fossil, I
|
|
shouldn't expect to see a Kabuto at the zoo now...<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">

<em>It's an Omanyte! What happened to Kabuto?</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
Apparently they didn't like their Kabuto anymore after they saw I
|
|
took the Kabuto fossil, and they replaced him with Omanyte. :)<p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">

|
<em>Here's my final party.</em>
|
|
</div><p>
|
|
|
|
At this point I'm done with my experiment. From this point in the
|
|
game, the plot has caught up with me and I'm no longer sequence
|
|
breaking anymore. I'm at a state in this game where I could've
|
|
gotten to the same place through legitimate means.<p>
|
|
|
|
So this is where my quest comes to an end. If anybody has any new
|
|
ideas, feel free to leave me a comment about them. :)
