The journey through Kanto begins! 🌟
In this first part of our Pokémon Red Longplay, we set out on an unforgettable adventure from humble beginnings in Pallet Town to our first major showdown with Team Rocket.
Recorded in 1080P 60 FPS and presented without commentary, this video preserves the nostalgic look and feel of the original Game Boy classic — every sound, battle, and moment of discovery just as it was meant to be.
Gameplay credit goes to Josiah of the BackGround Gaming (BGG) Community, who masterfully guides our hero through the early half of the game — earning badges, discovering hidden secrets, and taking down Team Rocket’s first operation.
In this episode, we choose our first Pokémon, challenge the early Gyms of Pewter, Cerulean, and Vermilion, explore the S.S. Anne, traverse the treacherous Rock Tunnel, and finally uncover Team Rocket’s underground base beneath Celadon City. Along the way, we’ll face rival battles, Gym Leaders like Brock, Misty, and Lt. Surge, and meet the mysterious boss Giovanni for the first time.
This is where it all began — the start of a true Pokémon Master’s journey!
