Watch how the top agentic AI, Anthropic's Claude 3.7 struggles to beat this Pokémon game made for children as young as 5.

With the talk of agentic AI, which are generative AI platforms that can control computer software beyond giving text chats, being the future for the AI industry, one of the top agentic AI systems in the world, Anthropic’s Claude, still can’t beat Pokémon on Gameboy Colour.

Anthropic released a thread on X in February admitting that Claude 3.7, its latest model, was not able to play the original Pokémon RPGs on Gameboy to completion for a number of reasons, but also, despite its inability to finish the games made for children, the AI showed chilling human-like processes in attempting to do so.

Claude 3.7 is one of the most advanced agentic AI models out there, with companies like China’s Manus incorporating it into its systems.

    I only beat it at ~10yo because I knew how to read walkthroughs, which is what finally led me to enter Saffron. At no point I thought that one of the purchasable drinks from a vending machine could be used to “bribe” the guard on the entrance, I always thought it was some special item somewhere (which became the case in the FR/LG remakes) or some other event.
