Oh hey, I edited this one! Hope y'all like it :)

I don't mind hearing the badge boost glitch explanation each video, it's part of the experience

Can't believe James could tank base 105 attacks from Victreebel so often in the anime

14:30 “The BADGE BOOST GLITCH”

Explaining the badge boost glitch just feels like tradition at this point

Dream eater victreebel sounds terrifying. The whole giant plant with fangs eating my head

When calculating razor leaf's crit chance, You divide 512 by 8, not 4

My favorite thing about this series is just seeing all the back sprites of the Pokemon. I've played these games before but I never used every pokemon so it's nice seeing all the ones I never did in game the way they were meant to seen as.

I’m kinda glad he treats every one of these like the first, because it was my first, and I wasn’t aware of the badge boost glitch. This was a fun watch!

At this point an explanation of something related to gen 1 is an integral part of these videos.

512 divided by 4 is 64. Oh JRose, never change 😂

Victreebel has a special place in my heart. When I first got Pokemon Blue, I picked Charmander because the idea of the little fire goblin being my fire goblin was too exciting an idea to pass up. I had no idea how things worked in the game. I assumed "Attack" correlated to everything that wasn't your Pokemon's type (i.e. if Charmander some how learned how to use Water Gun, it would base the power of the attack off of the Attack stat), and thereby it meant special dictated that your same type attack would draw from that stat. Beating Brock was a little rough, but I leveled up my Charmander to a Charmeleon and embered away. When I got to Misty I panicked because I was getting bodied. So I went and got myself a Bellsprout. Used him to take down Misty because in my mind Vinewhip was the end all be all. Over the course of my very first play through of a Pokemon game, that Bellsprout evolved into a Weepinbell and I found out the leaf stone evolved it through happenstance. It ultimate outleveled my Charizard, it was my best buddy. That first wild ride through Pokemon Blue was made so much better by this goofy goober and it was amazing.

This Victreebel run gets the OG Bug Catcher official stamp of approval! 👍

"And for those of you who are bad at math like me, 512 divided by 4 is 64" -JRose11, math genius

Anyone else miss the old piano intro? And the Count?

That Gen 1 stat spread is insane. He's not physically bulky, but he's SpD bulky, and a decently-speedy mixed attacker.

22:40 "I'm gonna delete Razor Leaf. I know, scandalous!" Oh god that had me rolling xD

Oh hell yes, victreebl is a monster, maybe the most benefited by Gen 1’s eccentricities.

Moves in gen 1 that have a high critical hit ratio, for those that are new, the 512 that's used divided by base speed for critical hits, is divided by 8, so 512 ÷ 8 = 64, and the base speed divides into 64, and gives you the percentage chance to crit, and since Victreebel's base speed is 70, that's a 100% chance to crit, minus the 1/256 chance it doesn't crit, so a 99.601% chance to critical hit. Now Pokemon like Bellsprout and Bulbasaur have a base speed of like 40 or so I think, so they have like a less than 2/3 chance to crit, less than 66% chance to crit, still high, but not guaranteed. Now if your base speed is 64 or higher with these sort of moves, and you accidentally use Guard Spec. or Focus Energy, it divides the 99.601% crit chance by 4, so like a 24.9% chance to crit, which is good for you if you plan to take advantage of the badge boost glitch, but unfortunately that's still about the same crit chance as Mewtwo, or slightly less, and you'll still occasionally get a critical hit at that percent, and it's higher than Starmie's base crit chance of 22.46%, so yeah go figure, you're still hoping to not crit to take advantage of the badge boost glitch, otherwise a crit ignores the boosts. Edit: TangerineTux in one of the replies to my comment mentioned me saying Guard Spec, and they asked if I meant Dire Hit, and yes that's what I meant, I wasn't thinking clearly when I made this long message. Guard Spec just blocks things like I think Sand Attack, anything that lowers any of your stats (I think that's what Attack, Special, Speed, Accuracy, and Defense are), Dire Hit is bugged in Gen 1, and divides your crit chance by 4 instead of multiplying it by 4.

Hey Jrose! Been watching for at least 3 years and am happy to see you take on sponsors. You deserve to make an income off the effort you put into this and the audience appreciates the incentive to produce content. I do want to say that if you can, carefully consider what sponsors you take. There's a difference between plugging a brand you know provides a quality product/experience... And reading off a script for whatever benign looking company offered you a bunch of money.

I'm a simple man. I see a new Jrose video, I watch tf outta if

Love to have this as a comparison point to Scott's Thoughts' thorough investigation of Victreebel Supremacy in Yellow.

I miss when pokemon games had a mandatory ship travel part like Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3. Battling on a ship was the most fun part for me.

0:30 wait. Am I trippin or is this vic moving?! Thats some next level editing shit, i have not seen from poketubers before

A Victreebel using Sleep Powder + Dream Eater is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on Gen 1

Ive grown carnivorous plants since i was a kid, so victreebel was always one of my favourites. Great to see it do well at something

JRose: "Hi, today we are doing another poison type" Lance's Dragonite: "Brah...."

Man, I've watched so many of these that i didn't even think about powering up body slam with swords dance... i just went "oh yeah, badge boost, of course" and forgot that you would actually benefit from its intended use until you explained the glitch

When you divide 512 by 4 you get 128, when I divide 512 by 4 I get 64, we are not the same

I've always loved Victreebel, having had a love for Grass types since Gen 1, but my all time favorite Pokemon will always be Bulbasaur. Razor Leaf really was a godsend for it, as was its' typing, due to Gen 1 being held together by duct tape, rubber bands, and dreams. Victreebel came decently close, but still not anywhere close enough to beating the almighty Mewtwo's time. Still, I tip my hat to it for a job well done.

Nice moving graphic there for the Victreebel. It's cool to see you putting in more effects for this run. The run itself went a lot better than I thought it would too. Gotta love those Gen 1 mechanics, but it's great to see the flytrap getting its glory here. Very well done.

Can I say how much nicer the colors of the Bulbapedia's types are now? Man, they're really pleasant.

So excited for this one! I love when you drop new videos 😊

If there is a new editor what happened to simplyAj?

I’ve been waiting for this video and I can’t wait to see which Pokémon you try next

Love the change to how you present stats and move set in the beginning! I had to pause and zoom before because I'm watching on my phone. Huge improvement :)

Great video as always. Can't wait to see the Master List when we're done. Your getting close. Few I an still interested in are Kangaskhan, Kabutops/Kabuto, Horsea/Seadra, Doduo/Dodrio, and Vulpix/Ninetales.

Was just done rewatching another jrose video when this came out :D awesome!

Would love to see a red/blue run with you using your dream team. Like a full team. That’d be sick! 🤩

I just found your channel like a month ago and I’m so excited that you’re still posting videos because this is awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Victreebel! A vastly underrated pokemon for gen 1 runs ❤

Good morning Jrose! Thanks for another upload!

Each run you upload, I love for their individual uniqueness. This one just felt really good. Well done 👏

I like how this ended up being almost a tutorial for the new viewers about all (like 10% of) the ways gen 1 is broken

512 divided by 4 is not 64.... it's 128

Subscribed because your videos are always awesome!

Eeeee, so happy to see my favorite Grass-type do so well! Victreebel's always been one of my favorites, I use it a lot, especially in Gen 1, so yeah, soon as I saw Razor Leaf in that starting moveset, I knew this was a crit machine.

I been binging the old videos all day. Imagine my surprise to see a new one drop!

I've been waiting for this one! We all knew it would be here eventually! On to Victree!...bel

3:55 “and for those of you who are bad at math like me, 512 divided by 4 is 64.” 😂

Who could ever get tired of hearing about the legendary Badge Boost Glitch?? I more feel sorry for you having to repeat it every video lol. But even after rewatching your videos, I never grow tired of hearing it!

It was great to see just how powerful a Grass type can really be, especially with how limited Grass moves were then. One thing I'd say if you were doing optimizations would be to space out Rare Candies a bit, like figure out the minimum you'd need for rival 6, that way you have more candies to prevent leveling up midway through Elite Four members, like Agatha. That said, great video as always!

Is AFK Journey the new RAID: Shadow Legends? I swear everyone I'm subscribed to has been shilling for that game this week.

Watching these videos got me playing Pokémon Red again 😂😂😂

Saving this for the drive home tomorrow. Been waiting for the Victreebell run

Cool run. You are the RU-vidr that got me watching Pokémon things ! I would love to watch you try your hand at Kaizo!!

8:20 there is a healing spot on the SS anne. You have a room assigned to you so you can use the bed to rest. This won’t affect dig because it won’t register as a Pokémon center.

Finally Gen 1 again thanks!!!

8:10 I appreciate you talking about why you don't go to pokemon centers sometimes to heal. It was really bothering me for a bit why you used hyper potions and ethers instead of healing. Thanks for the explanation

I've been waiting for Victreebel. Excited to see how this plays out

The badge boost glitch!!!!

Victreebel will truly be a victorious pokemon to do a solo run with

Dream Eater was one of my favorite moves back when I first got to play Red and Yellow. 😄👍

Good to see you back jrose, keep on rocking brother! Victreebell is dominant in rby with swords dance, body slam, razor leaf and sleep powder. Perfectly reflected here j rose

512/4 is not 64 looool

512/4 is 128 i do believe jrose when he says that hes bad at maths

Nicely done! I didn't even think about how good the type combo would be for Victreebel based on trainer AI! Would love to see a slowbro run or some fossils!

As you said Jrose, "Every video is somebodies first". Keep explaining the beautiful weirdness of Gen 1, we'll never get tired of it :)

BADGE BOOST GLITCH!!!!

3:56 512/4 = 128

Good run! Would love to see the Ledyba Soul Silver run, waiting for it since the Spinarak heart gold run

Victreebel did so well with Scott's Thoughts so i couldn't wait for this run

I think victreebell is the best Pokémon for this format in gen1. Including Mewtwo because of the level up group. Source: Scott's Thought's. Let's see how the true king deals with it.

512 divided by 4 is 128 not 64

I've had my heart set on this one! Tbh, I thought ol' Vic might take the throne (besides Mewtwo), though that whole tier is within inches of each other. Definitely as fun to watch as it was for you to play!

I actually shouted "badge boost glitch" out loud on pure reflex.

512 / 4 = 128...

Oh finally!!! I am so excited for a new jrose banger

I'd personally like to see Raichu next (my favorite of the original 151)

I've been excited for this one since the Bellsprout run. Good luck Victreebell!

Just as I was feeling a little down, you saved my night Jrose!

I've been waiting for Victreebel! Good enough moves and stats to plow through the game. And never apologize JRose for explaining stuff JRose. Sometimes those brief explanations can capture the new viewers awe, I know it did for me long ago!

Huge fan of the channel! I think a Pokémon that you need to do a run with soon is Kabutops, I did one and got a pretty good time but I want to see how someone as experienced as you can do

I think if you would not waste a little bit of time with trying rival 5 and go to Koga, then with rival 6 by going back to fight 1 trainer and as you said at the end you would learn giga drain Victreebell could make a better time than Gengar. Was waiting for this mon for a long time, thanks for the video :D

I love the games with the ghost Pokemon cemeteries like Gen 1 and Gen 3. Mt. Pyre is so cool.

For the EV on the main game, the first time we'd see them in the main game was Sun/Moon actually. Most Ace trainers are EVed, as every boss too.

Yay! A new episode, I just finished all the other gen 1 videos.

We need a multi hour super cut of all the badge boost glitch explanations in one video.

Hey jrose love your videos! Can’t wait to see the ducks video (psyduck or golduck) I think they’re going to be up in the good tier

Never expected a crossover between a music reviewer and a Solo 'mon runner.. 18:28 19:55 20:35 SILENCE, EXEGGCUTE! 27:22 SILENCE, EXEGGUTOR!

My man being at it once more, time for a good time watching jrose❤❤❤

Stoked for this challenge!!

Been looking forward to this one

86 videos deep and im still learning about this game that i played 25 years ago

So glad to see you back Mr. Rose 🎉🎉 let's goooooooo!!!!!!!

Any move that deals damage and heals you is always op.

Something that can help you a ton i noticed is when you are super close to a level up before a key time save fight. Like against the rival in silph here you leveled up after ko ing the pidgeot and exeggcute. That removed your badge boosts from swords dance. You absolutely would have outsped the Alakazam with the badge boosted speed. I think that if youre going to use a boosting strategy, you need to pre emptively use a rare candy or battle 1 extra trainer to cap that level off so that the sweep will work. Using a RC is a heavy price, but smashing an optional trainer is quick if youre close.

My favorite Pokemon finally gets a shot on the Jrose channel!

Oh man I love Victreebel! It's one of my favorite pokémon, I always had it in my team if possible.
