HOW EASILY CAN YOU SPEEDRUN POKEMON RED/BLUE? 

Minimum battles speedrun when? :P (In seriousness this is extremely impressive, and it's so great you're introducing speedrunning to a massive audience!)

Really appreciate the shoutout! I was very happy I was able to catch a stream and even got to witness a PB! Great video! It was a lot of fun watching you improving over the week, and even earn yourself a super respectable time! Looking forward to your next challenge :)

Champion A: ah my rival A! You are going dow- A: gives his Pokémon A a X accuracy A: Use Horn Drill! Champion A: oh shi-

Wait, John’s a real person?

He’s the only youtuber that has a face that matches his voice.

Its so different hearing his voice here than live

"The term any% is generally directed at games that show you the completion in percentages, such as Elder scrolls and Fallout" ->Picks two game series that DON'T track the completion in percentages

As a big fan of Pokemon speed running for years, your format for videos is perfect to give the beginner information ins a digestible and entertaining fashion. Love how meticulous you are!

I like how dude kept grinding, I watched homie go from averaging 20k per video to 60k in hours it’s crazy how much he grew

"I improved significantly at grabbing hidden items" 20 seconds ago "I completely forgot where the rare candy was" lol

"If he goes for Sky Attack you'll have to full restore" Full restores remove all your stat boosts in RBY though which would remove your x speed/accuracy. Hyper potion instead

Hey, just feel like letting you know, this was probably my favourite video of yours. Just seeing the shift in style and the genuine progress was really fun.

This is actually really cool and encouraging for anyone wanting to just try to get into speedrunning. I find it such a daunting thing to try and tackle but this makes it look very much doable.

John: Our next rival is going to be on route 22 Jrose11 fans: Do you mean rival fival? ;)

16:34 you forgot to explain why speed runners want red bar

I would really like for you to keep speedrunning Red and Blue, this was probably my favorite video of yours!

John, I love seeing your face on your videos now! It really adds personality to your channel in a great way. Keep up the awesome content! I appreciate your work ethic.

Keep this series going I love watching speedruns

It's so cool to see how you do so many different challenges. You keep refreshing yourself and with that you never cease to entertain.

Speedrunning is super fun, the improvements, and the struggles that come with it! Pretty fun.

Who would have guessed that John was a 14 year old boy.

I really hope this becomes a series to at least gen 4. Great video!

Speedrunning...something I have no tenacity (to attempt) but massive respect for. The fact you managed a top 300 in a week... *Guinness World Records wants to have an interview* lolz

the fact that you done this in one week is insane to me, you are a legend dude

Yo guys I’m straight and I’m a guy but damn Johnstone you looking hella fine

I absolutely loved this video. It really makes me want to go home and do some speedrunning!

I love it when im getting recommended videos from years ago and when they showed their sub count at 1:55 it had over doubled since then

i did not expect this at all, but im glad that you did it.

It's wild to see Pokemon speedrunning covered by a huge RU-vidr. Thanks for bringing attention to the community!

Amazing sir! You've definitely planted the itch in me to give this a run! It was between this and learning Earthbound!

I would love to see John do a Catchless run of FireRed or Platinum, where you can't catch any Pokémon, only using those gifted to you or bought (though you can trade if you've received the trade material Pokémon, i.e. buying an abra from the games corner and trading for a Mr.Mime)

2:32 Last I checked, and I should know, I play them a lot, Elder Scrolls and Fallout don't show you percentage completion. At all. A better example would've been Donkey Kong Country 2, since it actually shows you the percentage on your save file on the file select screen.

yes this is the one I have been looking for cause I am playing this game right now. Also you are really good, where do you find the time to grind?

43:04 John: [talking about his run] Me: KITTY! =D

I always say that Gen 1 Pokemon is held together with Paper Mache, Hopes, and Dreams. The fact that he opened up with "this whole game can be completed in just over a minute made me chucklr

When Johnstone and Mah dry bread upload on the same day: Stonks 📈

Another thing I like is how you're somehow always smiling, even when deeply focused on your run :-D

100% honest this is one of the best poketubers. the others are either annoying or sellouts but you generally have more enjoyable content.

After watching all the streams I want to say that the improvement you made is amazing

50 minutes of Pure Johntent Pog

This is my favorite video of yours. Love you John

man i just love watching you do things that make you happy

Absolutely brilliant mate such a fun watch!! Can't wait for a speed run of platinum!!

I've never seen your face before, but your avatar seems very accurate. BUT your avatars hair, it has to be way darker...

You made a lot of progress really quickly, good work man :)

It’s only a matter of time until our boy John gets a world record isn’t it?

This was awesome. It makes speedruns more relatable. Really enjoyed the video.

Hey Johnstone, i just found your videos last week and there really great. One thing, could you do like a video about how easily you can do all contests? Or do you have one already that i can't find? Also if you end up making one, don't do ORAS contests as they're easy, so i would say do emerald contests or platinum super contests.

A pretty cool goal you reached in just under a week! The game I've been speed running for a long while, is: "Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts." I've played the game since I was very young, and I've never gotten tired of it. Speed running is truly a challenge, even with games that normally wouldn't be difficult... It just so happens though, that my speedrun choice is also incredibly difficult.

When you Just found out that one of your favorite youtubers stream

Speedrunning a Johnstone Video

Content just keeps getting better

Super interesting! You might just have become my favorite channel on RU-vid. Keep it up my man!

41:10 Loralai used rest because its super effective againts Nidoking

Hey John I have an interesting but fun challenge. In short your doing a play through of Pokémon FireRed with Red’s team from the Manga. The finish condition is catching Mewtwo in the shortest amount of time The following Pokémon is required before completing the challenge *Pokemon Team* Bulbasuar-Venasuar Poliwhirl-Poliwrath Pikachu Snorlax Magikarp-Gyarados Aerodactyl Eevee(You can choose anyone of its 3 evolutions as it possessed the ability to switch between forms in the Manga, or just leave it as an Eevee :\) You can switch between Eevee &Aerodactyl as you wish Other Pokémon that you can use before the required Pokémon Nidaran-Nidorino(sadly no nidoking though) Diglett *Rules* 1) You must get the required Pokémon as soon as possible and use them 2) When you have the required Pokémon they cannot be removed from the team(the only exception is switching Eevee and Aerodactyl) 3) HM moves must be put onto Main Team Pokémon, No HM slaves 4) Items are not allowed in battle 5) Pokeballs for captures only 6) Mewtwo must be caught with the Masterball I hope you attempt this since it’s just a fun challenge to do all together. And I wonder how fast you can complete it if you do attempt this.

Its super satisfying to see speedrun stuff work as it is supposed to. But all these manips are very scary for me

I'm like : That face didn't match his voice at all ! They when he speak : OMG he looks exactly how he sound.

Great content as always! I need to follow your streams

Me: pb means personal best pb means personal best pb means personal best Also me: heheh he’s gonna get a peanut butter

Love this new type of content!

This turned out to be a very enjoyable video to watch, i'm very impressed.

This is some good work and dedication! Keep it up! :)

For anyone NOT subscribed to John’s 2nd channel, I’d HIGHLY recommend it as his platinum nuzlock vids are THE BEST content in a while!💜

Jon is the next generation of Poketubers and the future seems so bright

John, thank you very much for your videos, it is always a pleasure to see them. Maybe you can do a HOW EASILY YOU CAN SPEEDRUN series with all pokemon generations.

That moment with the Freeze effect on Giovanni. You lucky sod!

Huge achievement, great vid, awesome job. You've really outdone yourself with this.

Very impressive. Still hoping for the How long would it take to get your starter to level 100 before the first gym without tricks or glitches video. Keep up the great work.

I like seeing you talk directly ^^ you did awesome~

U been going crazy love the videos 🙌

Cool video, interesting to see you getting better at these runs. Keep trying!

Johnstone: how is this Pokémon better than our starter? Well, for starters- Me:wut

Machokes face 😂😂 i forgot how funny pokemon usto look like

I watch Shen and Chris Alllll the time. Amazing blokes. Really fun to watch!

would've loved to see a comparison between your splits and "professional" ones

I did a 3 games 1 controller run of gen 1, but it took 5h :o

45:18 this is downright painful. I didn't realize the numbers game was so tight on EXP.

One of your best video bro. Much respect

who else didnt know how cute johnstone is until this very vid

Anyone else listening at 0.75x speed? :D But joking aside, great video, great content!

Well done John!

Pokémon Red/Blue Run: Exists Nidoking: *Yes*

Please, John, do more vídeos like this

Summoning salt already caught me up with the tricks so it's fun seeing johnnyboi bedoingthat

A long video, YES! The more Johnstone, the better

Really nice video really enjoyed it I have a comment to make about your use of the fast text exploit. It was decided by the community that runs that use this are considered to be any% no major glitches while any% glitchless does ban its use

Amazing video john keep up the amazing work

Ouh snap john becomes a speedrunner

I never really bothered to watch how to Manip etc and I still prefer Squirtle + no manips, it's just more fun to me since I just speedrun for myself to test myself. But really great stuff and it was pretty interesting. Hidden Items are indeed fun to learn x)

The emulator you're using supports the GBC pallette swaps for GB games, so you can use the sepia one (Up + B on the BIOS splash screen) to actually see the trainers in Rock Tunnel. Best regards!

Wow! So this is what John looks like in real life!

3:48 i cant believe i made it into a Johnstone video (insert Pog here)

When I saw the title I thought Good grief. That's a lot to do and I think i won't attemp it

Speedrunning red and blue is a really fun little challenge. I did a few times with a basic guide and its quite fun even though I'm not even close lol

Definitely gonna try the Any% Glitchless myself at some point now. Thanks a lot :)

You are releasing the secrets of Werster sama!!!

2:12 What do you mean there's a speedrun category for "Softlock the Game" for Red & Blue XD

Catch em all is also a speedrun option. I really hope you will do that one.

You should do a "can I beat *insert pokemon game* engaging in the least battles possibke" type series. Or "what's the least amount of battles I can take to win..."
