History VideoGame / PokemonBlueKaizo

* HundredPercentCompletion: Every Pokémon available at the time can be caught in one way or another.

* EliteMooks: The Cooltrainers takes this to unbelievable levels in Victory Road, and aren't slouches in the gyms, having the best nonlegendaries and AI in the game. Also, some Team Rocket members can be surprisingly brutal.
* ForcedLevelGrinding: You're all but required to grind on wild Pokémon if you want to beat the game. Fortunately, once you reach Indigo Plateau, you can buy Rare Candies at the low price of P, allowing you to get your Pokémon up to level 100 quickly.

''Pokémon Blue Kaizo'' is a [[NintendoHard ridiculously difficult]] [[GameMod ROM hack]] of [[VideoGame/PokemonRedandBlue Pokémon Blue]] which, as the title implies, was inspired by the like of [[PlatformHell Platform Hell]] hacks such as ''VideoGame/KaizoMarioWorld''. Everything about the game, including the wild Pokémon, the teams of trainers and gym leaders, and even the layouts, has been changed to make the game a much more difficult experience. It is authored by Sinister Hooded Figure, who released a sequel, VideoGame/PokemonCrystalKaizo, in 2014.

* ForcedLevelGrinding: You're all but required to grind on wild Pokémon if you want to beat the game. Fortunately, once you reach Indigo Plateau, you can buy Rare Candies at the low price of P$1, allowing you to get your Pokémon up to level 100 quickly.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard:
** The [[spoiler:Elite Four and Champion]] have [[spoiler:level ''115'' Pokémon]].
** All of the enemies in the game have unlimited power points, which was present in the original Red, Blue, and Yellow games. Also present in the originals are the enemies capable of using status on you ''immediately'' after curing a previous status effect.
* TheMaze: Many areas become this. Even Route 7, the shortest route in ''Red and Blue'', becomes a small maze.

* {{Nerf}}: The latest version of the game prevents you from using Revives in battle.

* BossInMookClothing: One Bug Catcher on Route 6 uses a ''level 100 Weedle'', at a point where your Pokémon will probably only be in their mid to high 20s. Due to the large level difference, even a Pokémon that resists its Poison Sting will take a lot of damage from it, and super effective attacks won't do much to it.

* BrokenBridge: Along with ''Red and Blue'''s roadblocks, the game places further roadblocks on you to force you on a more linear path:

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The [[spoiler:Elite Four and Champion]] have [[spoiler:level ''115'' Pokémon]].

** The last Gambler you encounter in Blue Kaizo (near saffron) has a full team of six pokemon, each of which has an OHKO move.
** The [[EliteMooks Four Rocket Brothers]], among a couple rockets in Silph Co., have full teams of threatening Pokemon. How threatening? They are far more deadly than the previous five gym leader teams and previous rival battles.

* EliteMooks: The Cooltrainers takes this to unbelievable levels in Victory Road, and aren't slouches in the gyms, having the best nonlegendaries and AI in the game. Also some team rocket members can be surprisingly brutal.

* OneHitKill: Gamblers specialize in Pokemon that uses OHKO moves. And unlike future games, they can hit Pokemon higher level than they are if they are faster. Keep an eye out for Pokemon with horns (Rapidash, Seaking, Dewgong), [[JustForPun pincers]] (Pinsir and Kingler with Guillotine), and Fissure users (Dugtrio and Arbok, with Dugtrio being naturally fast, and Arbok having glare and wrap). Basically the same strategy as in Pokemon Stadium.

Keep an eye out for pokemon with horns (Rapidash, Seaking, Dewgong), [[JustForPun pincers]] (Pinsir and Kingler with Guillotene), and fissure users (Dugtrio and Arbok, with Dugtrio being naturally fast, and Arbok having glare and wrap). Basically the same strategy as in Pokemon Stadium.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Brock is a perfect example to show that the game is not going to pull any punches, especially if you did not choose Squirtle as your starter. He has a type advantage over Charmander, with 3 having a super effective move. Bulbasaur could handle Golem, Kabuto, and Omastar only to meet a wall in form of Aerodactyl. Even Squirtle could had an issue against his team, since Squirtle does not have a super effective advantage over Kabuto and Omanyte, and would need some work to take out Aerodactyl.

* GoddamnedBats: Wild Pokémon that know Self-Destruct and Explosion become this in Mt. Moon and Rock Tunnel. Voltorb is one of these Pokémon, and with its very high speed, you'll have a hard time escaping from it before it explodes on your Pokémon.

* BossInMookClothing: One Bug Catcher on Route 6 uses a ''level 100 Weedle'', at a point where your Pokémon will probably only be in their mid to high 20s. Due to the large level difference, even a Pokémon that resists its Poison Sting will take a lot of damage from it.

* ThatOneLevel: The Safari Zone is this. In order to get Surf, you need ''499 of the 500 available steps'', meaning that one mistake will force you to start back from the beginning. The Gold Teeth requires another, separate path that's slightly more lenient, requiring 475 steps at minimum.
** Viridian Forest becomes a maze which is made entirely of grass which gives you random encounters. The game's encounter rate is very high, and since you can't get Repels at this point, you'll be encountering wild Pokémon every few steps.
** You're forced to go upwards Cycling Road to get Fly. Not only is going upwards Cycling Road slower than going down, it also becomes a maze that requires you to face every trainer, and you can't go to Fuschia City's Pokémon Center until you've gotten Fly, which means that you'll be going through it after having already been weakened by the trainer marathon of Routes 12 through 15.

* LethalJokeCharacter: One Bug Catcher on Route 6 uses a ''level 100 Weedle'', at a point where your Pokémon will probably only be in their mid to high 20s. Due to the large level difference, even a Pokémon that resists its Poison Sting will take a lot of damage from it.
