It has some of the best stats in the game, including the best attack. Does that mean it will be the best? Only one way to find out! Twitch - twitch.tv/Jrose11 Twitter - @TheJrose11 Second Channel - / @jrose122
I like how literally every part of that sentence is cursed. Rhydon knowing tail whip? Tail whip missing? Tail whip missing being a bad thing? It's like a Russian nesting doll of Gen 1 horrors
@@swampy725 No, they thought he was Water/Flying... like Gyarados... so they kept using Electrical moves--and not getting anywhere Sometimes accusing me of cheating too when Thunderbolt wasn't very effective--and even getting annoyed when Thunder finally hits and does nothing
He was supposed to be the first Gym leader, but they found him too tough-looking, so they created Brock for that role. Which is funny, because Brock has been a bigger obstacle in this series than Bruno has.
I often say de-thaw on accident (even though I know it's wrong it feels right to me) and my friend makes fun of me for it. I was kinda excited to hear someone else say it. I'm not the only weirdo!
Irregardless of you're vernacular pedantry; the ladder tends to have less allotting than first ... yeah, disappointing I couldn't add MORE common grammar; speling errors into that sentence... I feel like a failure on that front... there has got to be some way to misuse there/their/they're in that sentence, while having noun to pronoun relationship confusion showing up (that is when a WHICH noun a pronoun refers to is really really unclear)... I even manage to mess up latter/ladder/later, than/then--and manage to mess up the word "allot" in a way that isn't the standard "a lot/allot" (yes, abuse of a semicolon is just shooting fish in a barrel) *edit* : the reason I am excited for the you're/your fuck up, was originally that was me attempting to mix up "this/that/over there", until I remembered that isn't a feature of the English language and thus not a common issue in English xD
Hear me out... Missingno solo run It has got a very unique stat spread, absurdly high attack, very low everything else. I think it would be very interesting to see how Missingno handles the game.
@@magusperde365 MissingNo is actually kind of awful since it has 0 def, both its types can’t be super effective on anything (it can’t even learn a Bird type attack so it’s worthless) and although it has a quite good coverage its really low Special makes it dependent on physical moves to do decent damage. The only thing going for it is its really high Attack, but with lower Speed than Caterpie and non-existent bulk, MissingNo is a really bad Pokemon. However, there are some glitch Pokemon that are actually broken and can definitely destroy the entire game in a solo run.
16:08 imo, Ar-Canine makes more sense than Arca-nine because the pun is Arcane, as in arcane fire magic, and Canine, which is a dog. So he’s an Arcane Canine, Arcanine
@@Radeo Not all names follow those semantics though. Or else some names will just sound awkward which fortunately would not be the case for Arcanine if it was pronounced "Ar-Canine".
@@kerfrizz3050 They are probs talking about emphasis. In Articuno, the stress typically falls on the U, but based on the name pun, you would stress the A too.
Pokés that just start with a normal attack (non-stab) or worse just run into a Brock-Wall for like an hour, unless you can make it up later like Mew because of an insane movepool, it's just brutal. Hence why gamefreak used rock for the first 3 of 4 gyms, and fire/fighting for 3 - rock is the perfect "first gym" type if you give the fire starter metal claw or a fighting move. Everyone early game poké has jack shit to deal with it, but the starters will sweep through it. Makes rock pokémon look way more intimidating. Like, Onix is legendarily garbage and only impressive exactly as Brock's ace because it's high-level for that point in the game and then its defence which makes up nearly half its BST means something. Now imagine GF learned their lesson and stopped making the ice gym 7th or higher every gen since it also would be a wonderful early gym with its glass cannon nature when not everyone and their mom has an answer to them.
I mean, Dragonite has worse stats than Mew (same base stat total but *much* slower, the attack isn’t the most important, and less bulk for what it’s worth), a worse experience group, and a worse movepool, though they both have poor starting moves. *And* no STAB, so arguably worse typing too. I’m not sure why it was even considered as a contender to beat Mewtwo, though it’s 100% a cool run to see!
Same. Dragonite is OK but for a Pseudo Legendary, Dragonite sucks. I used a Dragonite a lot in Pokemon Stadium and while it had the best Atk stat, the lack of ANY good moves for it meant that you were forced to wait until it learned Hyper Beam or just treat it as a Special Sweeper. Unless you wanted to cheese with Wrap as Dragonite was the best trapper in the Gen though I was never patient enough for such a slow strategy.
The problem with a run with Dragonite is you have to use Dratini to get Hyperbeam at level 50. If Dragonite has Hyperbeam its much better. I had a feeling it wasn't going to beat Gengar or Alakazam.
I turned 30 years old today. I have been playing pokemon since Red and Blue made its North American debut. Age is just a number. I will be a fan for life.
Jrose: "They would never give you a move as strong as Body Slam before the 3rd gym in modern Pokemon games" Game Freak: *straight-up gives you a Mega Lucario for beating the 3rd gym*
Let's not forget how easy it is to get TR's in Sword and Shield. Not to mention, if you know what you're doing, you can walk into Milo's gym with a team of Cloyster, Ninetales/Arcanine, Vileplume, Vikavolt, Musharna, and Togekiss, all at reasonable levels, with incredibly stacked movesets (Shell Smash, Icicle Spear, Nasty Plot, Fire Blast, Flare Blitz, Bug Buzz, and Air Slash say hello).
I can’t wait to see Clefairy! It has Jigglypuff’s amazing movepool and much much better stats. Maybe it can beat Bulbasaur and create a new tier between it and Poliwag??
You registered Dragonite as level 60 on the ranking, but it was at level 57 when u entered on the hall of fame, as seen at 34:11. I love this series and I can't wait for the next challenges
I wish Jrose had gotten Body Slam in the Gyarados run and not used the rare candies early - it might have saved a fair bit of time and would be cool to compare with Dragonite
I feel like Starmie has a chance of being up there with the legendary birds. Brock is a joke, letting you plow past gym 1 right away. Despite the fact it doesn't learn moves on its own, you get BubbleBeam very early. Once you get past Misty and Surge the run opens up a lot. And both of those fights aren't horrible. Starmie can even learn thunderbolt from Surge and put it to good use. But the run really starts to get stupid if you pick up both ice beam and psychic.
Misty will probably wall you, personally i think Aerodactyl or dugtrio are going to be more viable. I know the type matchup isnt in their favor but the critical hit abuse is insane
@@GhengizKanye Misty is certainly not easy, but the key, I think, is that you can beat rival 2 without too much difficulty first and you have access to the badge boost to get past Misty.
"Definitely not something Pokemon would do in the modern games." Bruh, you can get TRs for Brave Bird and Aura Sphere before the first gym in Sword/Shield by doing one low-level raid.
I steamrolled the entire game by just getting a Magikarp and feeding it so many XP Candy that I was about Level 35 at the first gym with a massive moveset. That game is just complete shit.
SwSh were not balanced around infinite grinding in the wild area. You can easily break the game if you do that, not just by getting good moves but also by being very overleveled quickly. The TMs in comparison are way worse, probably about as bad as in gen 2, so you will lack good moves if you don't abuse the wild area.
Please. Please never stop this. Im 24 and still watch when I'm not able to sleep at night. I don't think this would get old, doing other gens and stuff too
@@swampy725 Except the name Lorelei is Germanic in origin, so the "ei" is therefore pronounced the same as in Einstein. The correct pronunciation sounds like "law-rel-eye".
Its 7 am where I am. I don't go to school but I wake up at 6:30 every day anyway. This is pretty perfect timing for me, not sure about your "degenerate sleep schedule"
Unfortunately arcanine has a pretty mediocre move pool. Takedown and ember are its starting moves, and while it does get access to dig and body slam, that’s about all it can do. Gyarados is sure to be a pain to get past in the endgame. It would do OK, but certainly worse than Dragonite. EDIT: coming back to this thread and seeing 50 replies, where only mine actually addresses Arcanine’s viability, is surreal and hilarious.
I'm curious how Snorlax would do. Might not be the fastest, especially since it doesn't learn another move until level 35, but it would be a different kind of run. Maybe its vast TM/HM moveset would give it an advantage?
Same. Given Dragonite's opening moveset and the fact the first member of the Elite 4 is an Ice trainer, I have no idea why people thought this would be as easy as Mewtwo. 🤷♂️
The fact that you picked the gameboy colors to try and make it look like the modern Dragonite colors. We see the little details you put into these vidoes, Mr. Jrose11, and that's what makes this channel top-quality. Keep up the great work man, seriously.
It is so sweet that you names the character after a fan, it's just so heartwarming Edit:shout-out to adams wife for suggesting it, overall wholesome stuff I love to see
I'm subscribed since the only magikarp video last year and I absolutely enjoyed every single video since then. especially this series. It's so good. Even my gf (and she doesn't know or care about pokemon) enjoys it. It's so good. The commentary, the structure, the editing and the colorpatterns * - *. I love the adapted color patterns so much. Great fun. Great and very much needed entertainment in 2020.
@@RosyKitteh there's a new mechanic called dynamax, basically a pokemon becomes huge and his moves get a power boost, there's raids where you can fight those pokemon to gain exp and instruments
@@RosyKitteh play 4/5 they are by far the best the series has to offer. But to answer your question there are giant building sized Pokémon that you fight 4 on 1. Not as interesting as it sounds just YT Pokémon raid battles.
I enjoy that you switched from making them bonus videos to making them part of the series. Those this mean that you'll eventually do every pokemon that can be solo runned in Gen 1? That would be a fun couple of days to binge watch when completed.
"Putting such a powerful move so early in the game is something they wouldn't do in modern Pokémon games." TR rewards from raid dens in Sword and Shield would like to know your location.
The thing is as great as Body Slam is its not that much better than cut so I feel you have to reward someone a little bit for finding it. If I'm not mistaken you actually get mega punch much quicker.
Loving the content and it looks like you will hit 200k in the next couple of days so pre-emptive congratulations on that! I lould love to see an impossible run with Shedinja, I am sure people have done it but I doubt anyone has done it itemless! If anyone has the patience for it, it's you!
@Claude Von Riegan Best starter against Starmie is Venusaur; Blastoise can't do shit to Starmie while Starmie learns Thunderbolt, while Venusaur can be hit by Psychic but if it's not OHKO'd it'll actually deal serious damage back, including being able to bypass badge boosts with Razor Leaf.
My personal pick is Dugtrio; starts off with a 100 base power ground move in dig, has a 100% chance to crit with slash and can learn body slam and rock slide. With dig it breezes past brock, Misty might give some trouble but you could always do the rival and nuggest bridge first, Surge is a joke as is Koga. By the time you get around to Ericka it should have Slash which will deal with some of the grass Pokemon. Sabrina isn't an issue with Dugtrio's speed and Blane also becomes a joke. Giovanni will be easy and then it gets Earthquake. Earthquake mops up Loreli, Bruno and Agatha. Lance is a bit trickier but hopefully a crit slash should be enough to deal with gyarados.
@Claude Von Riegan Except again, Blastoise can't do anything to Starmie, all it gets are crappy Normal moves or moves that are resisted by Starmie on top of having mediocre Special, while Venusaur can actually kill a healthy Starmie if it isn't OHKO'd. Venusaur's Special is also higher than Blastoise's in Gen 1, so a STAB Psychic isn't doing that much more damage to it than Thunderbolt is to Blastoise, both should be either getting 2HKO'd or OHKO'd after badge boosts. Plus there are multiple Rival battles earlier in the game before Starmie can get Psychic (Starmie can't get Psychic until you get the TM, and Starmie won't learn any other Psychic-type moves before then).
When I play Pokémon Blue: Thunder: What it is = 70%; what I feel = 70% Supersonic: What it is = 55%; what I feel = 55% Sleep Powder: What it is = 75%; what I feel = 75% Fly: What it is = 95%; what I feel = 95% Tackle: What it is = 95%; what I feel = 55% I swear Tackle miss like hell when I play Pokémon Blue for some reason and it annoys me. Something similar happens to me in Pokémon Stadium with a different move. Pokémon Stadium: Thunder: What it is = 70%; what I feel = 30% Freacking Thunder, it always miss...
I think this could have been played a little better. The lack of physical stab moves really holds it back compared to mewtwo having the strongest special stab available immediately. I think the way to make it more consistent is to do a couple extra battles in gyms here and there. It will add time, but it would also help with resets and real world time.
I have a very tiny optimization if you care. After you beat Sabrina, you can step on the teleporter and then dig away, instead of just digging. If you do this you will do the teleport animation to the center instead of doing the spin animation. Its probably only a free second at most (not sped up), but it's a neat trick.
A cool trick, like being able to fish into the statues at gyms. But I don't think it'd save time because you have to walk back to the teleport thing first and at speed up you probably end up teleporting inside the gym rather then to the centre.
Okay, what you did for Adam massive respect. I know it seems small but honestly most people wouldn't do such. Loved your series already but now you get a sub
