"On our way through, I used the Badge Boost Glitch. I knew if I didn't say which glitch I used, you'd all ask. Actually, now that I think about it, everyone ask anyway. Comments are good for the RU-vid algorithm."

"The problem is it's movepool" might be becoming a catchphrase

I read “horsea” as “horse” and for a second I was fully convinced you somehow made a setup allowing horses to play Pokémon games and didn’t even question it. I’m tired.

That miraculous moment where you see a Jrose video, ask yourself 'hmm, I don't recall... OH ITS BRAND NEW LETS GO!' - new video!

Crazy thing is the rival beat the game faster than even Mewtwo.

Ah, the "Wrapping Lass" and the "Status Condition Jr. Trainer" the bane of many slow Water types

Bojack Horsea might be the best reference you’ve ever made

Me: "I should probably go to sleep soon." RU-vid: "Wake up! New JRose video!" Me: "Alright. Nevermind then."

I know you've mentioned in a video before how proud you are of the color schemes you come up with for each Pokemon, but this videos it was SO nice to look at! Exceptional job jrose! Just started the video but excited to see how horsea can do, always liked the horsea line

Jrose named the rival "Mr Peanutbutter." "Erica! You know you're not allowed to use AI!!"

i appreciate the Bojack Horeseman references

I remember doing a run with Horsea. Technically it can be done on Minimum Battles, but the Bide luck needed for Rival 2, the Oddish Lass, and Misty is what makes it not fun. Once it got Agility, that was when the fun began.

A sort of clutch win, and perfectly hitting that level 69 at the very end.

The fact that Bruno just gets obliterated by a seahorse is amazing

Kinda disappointed that when you reset, you didn't name it HorseB

Vincent Adultman to Bojack "don't be sad. Good horsea :)"

35:34 You heard of ‘six fucking ground types,’ now get ready for ‘six fucking water types.’

I already know we’re getting some top tier puns in this one. Love your videos Jrose! Been watching since your Magikarp video in Red/Blue

On the topic of using Lapras as the Surf pokemon: For runs that you have trouble beating Rival Fival, and don't have a pokemon that learns Surf, getting the Celadon City Eevee and evolving it to Vaporeon to teach it Surf could be an option to get more EXP. Helpful especially for when the solo run is a Grass-type or Electric-type as the Swimmers are a very easy source of EXP. Probably a bit late in the series to employ that as a new strategy as I don't know how many earlier pokemon that would have helped.

"I just kept getting Zubat in Mt. Moon." *Everyone felt that.*

Always fun when the obscure Pokemon get some love! Having a Pokemon with essentially only Water and Ice moves is wild.

Man when you’re done with all of these a retrospect/FAQ or something would be amazing. Enjoying your end of the video tier list. Thank you so much for the years of content I don’t know how I’d get through so many lonely nights and long drives without your endless entertainment ❤

I cannot WAIT for Seel. I dont care if it doesn't perform well. It's my favorite gen 1 Pokémon. Love your content!

The color palette for this one is PERFECT!

12:15 It's also worth noting that Double Team sets up the badge boost glitch which just makes it completely OP in this game and would make most runs pretty boring

You should just call what you did against Rival Two: "The Groundhog Day Method" 😂

I am a simple man: i see a new gen1 run uploaded by jrose, i stop everything i was doing at that moment, take glas of whisky and enjoy the video

"how bad of a move is bubble ACTUALLY?" oh whoops wrong channel

Another reason why (mono) water types are so strong in gen 1 is that water is a special type that is only weak to other special types (electric and grass). They get a high special stat, which covers both attack and defense in gen 1, so they don't really have any big weaknesses - so they end up tanking a lot of hits compared to other types. (Also, there's a LOT of water types, so they're kinda bound to be overrepresented.)

So Horsea did quite well for itself despite some hiccups and ends on a "nice" number level-wise, lol. Anyway, good to see how this went. Wonder if Seadra would be even better or not.

"Within the top 10, 6 Pokémon right now are of the water type." If you're referring to the list shown, it's actually 7. Maybe it's easy to forget Omanyte is Rock/Water. Or maybe you meant the top 10 post-Gastly.

I stared watching these about a year ago and they genuinely rekindled my love for pokemon- so much so I went out and bought a switch to play shining pearl and then a randomiser rom on my phone to play emerald run throughs with my own challenges- I'm 30 years old and I haven't enjoyed gaming this much in a while! Thanks for then great content 😁

Naming your trainer Bojack for this one reminded me of the "Fish Out Of Water" episode.

I wonder if for ice beam coverage the correct rival pick for water types is squirtle? You'd have had to rely on the gyara freeze if you were facing blastoise at the champion for example

How often is Blaine the 4th gym leader?! What a funny order with Horseas situation.

I was looking for something to watch on RU-vid. Jrose has great timing 👏

Yay!!!! I’ve been rewatching old runs lately.. needed jrose in my life. Lo and behold a new video! Thank you so much!

6:30 jrose, you obviously aren't obsseively watching jrose videos like the rest of us, you had this same problem with krabby and I think something else? I'm rooting for you!

I love these videos!! Hope everything is going good Jrose, keep doing what you truly enjoy, whether its these types of challenge runs or whatever else fits your fancy.

Lovely timing. I'm in a binge of these videos today! Just finished the Tentacool vid. Great run.

Just found this channel last week and been binging. So happy to catch a fresh video 😊

Yes! Right on time to accompany me on the ride back from work! :D Love your videos man

I have been waiting too long for another Jrose video!

my cat is dying but at least I have jrose11 horsea video to keep my mind occupied

Please do a Dewgong run! Seal the deal

ooh! Another one I've been waiting so long for. My favorite water type!

I love these videos I watch them before I go to bed such an awesome series

Hello j rose, it's been a while since I watched one of your videos and I just want to say I immediately noticed improved audio quality and even sounds like a more relaxed delivery from you. Nice to hear. Hope you are well

Mimic and surf, you've won the game

"Forgot to use Amnesia" >mimic'd Growl instead of Amnesia, which is the real reason you didn't use Amnesia Yeah. Okay.

Single move series! Let's go!

A delicious new entry to the series, thank you for uploading.

Wow we finally got to my favorite Pokémon. Was waiting patiently since the very beginning man!

Great job Jrose and I noticed that water type Pokemon have a unique start their good against Brock, walled by misty and weak to surges electric attacks and keep up the amazing work

Glad to see another one of those classic runs.

Jrose is back with the Single Pokémon challenge, let's go!

A new Jrose11 movie! That tops the weekend! Keep them coming pal!

Amazing vid once again dude. Keep it up!

Ground Pokémon seems to be struggling in these solo runs, but maybe Marowak's Bone Boomerang can bypass the wall :p

One pokémon closer to cubone

I'm impressed by how well Horsea did, in spite of its shortcomings in the early game! I wonder if Rest would've helped against the Jr. Trainer with two Oddish and two Bellsprout, but even so I can't imagine she'd be easy. Regardless, it was cool seeing one of these live and I've love to tune in to another one (maybe Kadabra live on Twitch someday?)

Incredible final battle

i was thinking this is shaping up to be a rare restart! then you dropped the "i think im gonna do something i've only done a handful of times.." i started cheering 🙏🏻😂

horsea what you did there. ok that was a stretch

Jrose I love the enthusiasm, But the seahorse for king neptune out of all the other options? This video was extremely fun to watch and full of surprises! Your commentary as always comedic and informative with plenty of twists.

Summary- Decent-ish stats and water moves. Brock was easy... but this run has Misty and rival 2 as a roadblock instead. It just doesn't have much besides basic water move progression and some annoying stuff like bide and smokescreen. The only real upgrade it ever gets is ice beam.

The color scheme for this run looks absolutely incredible

Damn Jrose11! Back at again with the Pokémon videos! 😂🤣

Started with the Bulbasaur vid about a month or so ago and I’m finally caught up. Looking forward to future episodes.

8:10 that gives me flashbacks on The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon.

Half expected you to name Horsea "Radish"

Ooo love the color scheme for this one. This is a nice blue

Great job on the colour scheme again ❤

14:20 Mr. President, there's been a second junior trainer.

YESSSS!!!!!! I have watched every video again in anticipation of a new drop, LETS GOOO!!!!

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

Been looking forward to this one for a while, last year I finally decided to do one of these myself to see what it was like and I picked Horsea, so was excited to see if you could get as good a run with it as I managed. Makes me wonder how Seadra would fare in the other list

OMG, Horsea finally! Thank you!

My day has been terrible so far, had several payments I forgot about leave me nearly broke, coming down with a bad cold, and then I saw Jrose11 posted and honestly life could be worse

Comment for algorithms but also because jrose is the best!! Thanks for another run dude!

The trainer and rival names are always so much fun and great references to various stuff 😊

This was so fun to watch live on Twitch!

i watch the videos when i go to sleep, how long has he had the names as “Bojack” and “Mr. Pb” or is that just because this run is a Horsea run? either way i love it 😭

Horsea doesn't have a lot of moves, but it has just enough. Surf and Ice Beam are an overwhelming combo in Gen 1. Awesome run.

Unbelievable timing Thx jrose

Man I wish this series would come out quicker. Water types are pretty good though

13:51 the wrapping lass

My lovely Horsea, one of my favorite pokemon, that I hated having to wait to catch it when I was a kid playing yellow (how many water types, and better ones you can have until Horsea shows up...) Loved the video, loved that it ended up performing great despite the move pool limitations ❤

The FFVIII soundtrack never goes unappreciated.

If only Kingdra existed in this gen...great vid as usual!

👁👁 36 minutes of fun incoming

13:37 The Wrapping Lass!

I missed this, I missed u, thanks for the vid

New jrose! Life is good!!!

Just when the world needs him, Jrose returns 🔥🔥🔥

Yay Horsea! I love that you give all the little weird and wonderful Pokemon some love 🥰

Ninetails or Dodrio would be nice. Dodrio get stab for both normal and fly attacks. Ninetails is so elegant, but his best moves are only learned by vulpix (confuse ray, flamethrower) so maybe another pre evolved run?

finaly clean gen1 content again ♥

First time I recall seeing an editing mistake in one of these: the winning Koga fight isn't shown! 17:46 is still a loss
