* Face it. 50,000 people and counting, all mashing buttons and sending random commands to the protagonist of a Pokémon game, with a large amount of them doing nothing but randomly pausing or mashing a single button just to halt progress. If you told anyone about this experiment and they hadn't heard of it, they'd assume that within a week Red would still be trying to get past the first gym under the control of tens of thousands of people. That is not the case. Red has beaten ''every gym'' and is (slowly) progressing on his way to conquer the Pokemon League.

* After so many tries Aa-j finally sweeps Lorelei, without even taking damage no less.

* Several runs of the Elite Four later, it appears that Red's entirely random team is actually very capable of defeating them and Champion Blue despite the shortcomings. Double-A Jay is capable of tearing through all of Lorelei's and Agatha's Pokemon with ease, Omastar and (at least versus the Onix) Air Jordan make Bruno look like a joke, ATV and Fonz break the AI of Lance's Dragon-types, and Bird Jesus is more than capable of sweeping Blue's entire team. If the Mob can just send out the right Pokemon against the right trainers, not only can they overcome the Elite Four and the Champion, they can [[CurbStompBattle utterly destroy them]].

* Upon achieving Level 49 during a battle with Bruno, the mighty Omastar has ridden itself of the paltry Water Gun, opting to add its most powerful [[MakingASplash watery]] technique,'''Hydro Pump''' to its arsenal, dousing any foes who dare to oppress it.

* One Elite Four run lost momentum pretty quickly, and it looked like Red was going to lose to Bruno, who is considered to be the weakest of the Elite Four and has not been lost to in every run. AA-j the Zapdos then commenced a sweeping rampage (despite two Pokemon being Rock-type) and survived with 5 HP left ''just so Bruno didn't tarnish that record''.

* AA-j One-shotting getting like 5 Critical Hit-based 1-hit kills in the final bosses.

* While Red lost to Blue due to only having ATV, ATV took a Wing Attack from Blue's Level 61 Pidgeot and lived.

* During the match against Lance, Bird Jesus takes care of all of Lance's Pokemon except for Dragonite. Dragonite manages to take out Bird Jesus, and the only Pokemon left is ... All Terrain Venomoth. ATV is about 30 or so levels lower than Dragonite, and Venomoth doesn't really have access to many attacking moves. What happens? Venomoth spams Poison Powder, which poisons Dragonite. Venomoth also disables Hyper Beam, and begins VERY SLOWLY draining him with Leech Life. And Dragonite only ever uses Barrier (a defensive move) and Agility (a stat increasing move), and ends up losing against Venomoth. The whole chat rejoiced at All Terrain Venomoth's victory.

** During the fifth match with Lorelei, Lorelei is thunderstruck as Zapdos decimates the rest of her team effortlessly with Thunder.

** Red defeats Lorelei on his fourth try and subsequently '''wrecks''' the foe during his first match with Bruno!

* Finally having cleared the switch puzzle, Red accidentally walked in front of a Juggler with only King Fonz (Nidoking) left, while the Juggler brought four Pokémon to the fight. Everyone thought another blackout was inevitable, in sight of the finish line even, but King Fonz had other plans and steamrolled the Juggler's Psychic-type Pokémon with critical hits (using a mix of Surf and, once Surf's Power Points (PP) had depleted, Strength), gaining a level (to Level 49) in the process. Hail to the King, indeed.

Slowbro cleared in one shot with AA-J! AA-J levels up to 68! Jynx is out. Jynx taken down on the 2nd round with Take Down! Lapras is out! AA-j takes a strong Blizzard and dishes out an ineffective Take Down. That was nuts.

* As of 15 days, 17 hours and 10 minutes, Red has ''finally'' reached the Indigo Plateau! The end of the game is in sight!
