Sometimes we just want to lay back, hear a passionate person person with a nice voice talk about the best thing from our (prolonged) childhood. And it can be for two hours or more. I guess it's easier for your editing schedule to make shorter videos as you are going to upload a lot of these, but I think many viewers don't mind.
If Paras is faster than the opponent then in first generation it's possible to permanently put your opponent to sleep, which can basically guarantee victory. Problem is Paras and even Parasect are very very slow. Which is why it didn't show up in the video too much.
i mean i thought those would be a torture but i tried out this challenge with slowpoke and it was really fun to do. i mean something like abra is one i don t really want to lay a finger on. i mean after doing one yourself you get a good feeling of "how tortorous" doing one is.
@@CAMSLAYER13 that means they are doing a great job at marketing. Yea it might suck to see/ hear it, but everyone knows about it, and expects it, like you said
Hey I should make a comment about how good the video is even though it hasn't been long enough for me to have watched it. That sounds like something the comment section does
@@kylelundgren5133 yup. It's so broken that's how it works now. Despite the fact that they've denied any changes were made when content creators first took notice of it.
Weedle straight-up isn't happening. I crunched the numbers out of curiosity and because Agatha has three Ghosts that 4x resist Poison Sting (on top of two more mons that 2x resist it) and are immune to Struggle, she's a hard stop. It requires more than 56 hits (the max amount you can get with PP ups) to beat her without getting an impossible number of crits, even at level 100 with the best Attack stat possible, even if she wasn't fighting back. And once you run out, Struggle can't hit Gengar. Your movepool is so restricted that there's no other strategy possible. I think a run that might be more doable and interesting (as in not "hey let's use items this time!" because that saps all the fun out) would be a Weedle/Caterpie tag team run. They have a combined total of three distinct moves, so it's in many ways still worse than the majority of single-mon runs, and Caterpie could tag in for the non-Ghosts to save Weedle's PP and provide extra HP. Considering Caterpie isn't gonna be in this series otherwise (because of Ghosts) and Weedle literally can't win unless you get lottery luck, this would fix both problems! Still would be hard as all hell, but would also be theoretically doable.
There MIGHT be an extremely inconsistent weedle solo run. Agatha is prone to switching. You can MAYBE get a run where you beat the 3 ghosts with poison sting and struggle the other 2. maybe
It's how Mimic works in Gen 1. Mimic uses its own current PP. But uses the Max PP of whatever it copies. So Wing attack would look kinda' normal, having 9/35 PP. But moves with only 5 PP, you get extra uses!
"Salut tout le monde! Comment ca va? I feel bad that my French is so poor considering it's one of our national languages." Oh, you're a fellow Canadian, did not know that until now.
I tried this using Growth instead of Swords Dance and yeah it ended up working a lot better, with a perfect DV Paras and a tiny bit of Stat EXP grinding for one more level at the end, I was able to enter the Elite 4 at 49 and finish at 57. By being able to boost up six times, you're able to outspeed more stuff, which autowins when you have 100% accurate Spore in Gen 1, and it boosts your durability a lot more for when you can't outspeed. For my moveset at the end I went with Spore, Growth, Mega Drain, and Mimic. Really didn't want to give up Body Slam, but with that instead of Mimic, you're almost walled by Agatha; it's possible after maximizing my Special to beat her three Ghosts with 16 Mega Drains at the level I was at (52), but it required a good deal of luck with her not using Super Potions and not getting crits (and Gen 1 misses for that matter) to not run out of Mega Drain PP before taking out the final Gengar, which is on top of the luck needed to get her first Gengar to sleep and five Growths in (which is what was needed to outspeed her Gengar). With Mimic you can just get Dream Eater to sweep her team easily once you get all six Growths in, and Mimicking Hyper Beam against Lance and Psychic against Blue worked well enough to give up Body Slam for. Blue was a problem, since at that level it was impossible to avoid levelling up mid-battle even if you Rare Candy beforehand and you start off in a really bad matchup against Pidgeot so you can't afford to save your Growths for the Zard (which required five to outspeed). I found the best chance of success was to Spore the Pidgeot and just max out your Special immediately, it requires a bit of luck to get up to four (where you then outspeed Pidgeot) but most of the time I could do it. After you maximize your Special it only takes three Mega Drains to KO the Pidgeot, and then you outspeed the Alakazam, so you can safely put it to sleep and Mimic Psychic without retaliation, while then 2HKOing with Mega Drain. The Exeggutor sounds annoying when you just have Mega Drain and Psychic, but Psychic 4HKOs it and has a 33% chance to drop its Special to KO in less hits, so your PP will be fine as long as you avoid putting him into the HP range where Blue can use Full Restores. After that you level up, so you no longer outspeed the Gyarados. Gyarados can OHKO with a crit Hyper Beam but otherwise it's of little threat, Spore it and MD 3HKOs while Psychic 2HKOs, use the former if you got hit to get your HP back and use the latter to KO faster if he didn't hit you. Then there's the Zard, you need some luck against him but with maximized Special, Paras survives non-crit Fire Blast with about 20% of its HP left at that level, and it takes about ten rounds of non-crit Fire Spin to die, so you tank the Fire Blast or it misses you with either of its moves, then you Spore it and 2HKO it with Psychic. Overall you should win over half the time against the Zard, which isn't great odds but certainly better off than your Swords Dance Paras that couldn't outspeed and didn't have its Special quadrupled boosted to survive the Fire moves regardless of its HP.
Similar to Lorelei's Dewgong, for some reason Blaine is programmed to use Super Potions on certain turns at random regardless of what's going on. Even when his Pokemon are full health. No one knows what that's about.
Comicaze My only guess would be that Blaine was supposed to be portrayed in battle as a mad scientist who uses potions, but unfortunately it only hurt him. Maybe it would have worked better if there was a potion in between super and hyper potions that they could have given him, as 50 HP isn’t enough in the late game but 200 HP is a bit ridiculous.
@@SaerasChuu No what it is is that Blaine is programmed to use Super Potion like it's a battle item, similar to how some other boss trainers use X items and Guard Spec, so there's a random chance each turn he'll just use it like it's one of those items regardless of the battle conditions.
The Queen: One wishes to thank Jrose11 for keeping One entertained in these difficult times, One remembers the days when One destroyed Prince Charles on Pokemon Red
I really like how you prefer strategy manipulation (like mimic, haha) instead of overleveling! It really adds to the interest in watching every run. I don’t mind when the strategy types overlap, it makes the runs more comparable and you use them different depending on the Pokemon.
Man you could make hour long episodes and I would still be excited to watch them! Favorite thing to watch on RU-vid at the moment looking forward to the next one
Don’t let anyone give you crap for using Mimic. It’s always my favorite part of your runs because I like the strategies you come up with using it. And waiting for the Tail Whip all cheeky like that was hilarious
It has become a ritual for me to watch this videos before going to sleep. Don't get me wrong, they are interesting but also kind of calming and relaxing at the same time. I watch one (if it is close to one hour long) or two of they are short and after that i go to bed relaxed and feeling good for some reason. Thank you sir and please continue with your great work.
drakesdrum1 - He wanted to know if it was luck based (i.e. if the AI chose not use to Sludge) or if he would have survived a sludge and it wouldn't have mattered either way
I wonder how the ranking would go if: Pokemon A - has hard time with Brock, pretty consistent through entire game. Pokemon B - easy time with Brock, slightly more problems throughout whole game. And their level and playtime are comparable...
That's pretty much what keeping track of the ingame timer and factoring it in to the rankings is for, since if a pokemon struggles early on against a particular trainer like Brock, that gets reflected in the higher ingame time showing they had to do more grinding (such as Abra finishing the game only a couple levels higher than Gastly but then having by far the highest ingame time, since it required so much grinding to get past Brock).
Isn't the Weedle run litterally unbeatable? Dewgong will just spam rest on you because good AI, and you 4hitKO with Max attack level 100 critical hit poison stings after poison (I'm not sure about Dewgong EVS, but this is at best a 3 hit KO)
All AI pokemon have no stat experience (Gen 1's equivalent of EVs), and in Gen 1 all trainers have an 8 DV for all their stats (equivalent to a 16 IV in post-Gen 2 games). You also have to factor in the 12.5% badge boost to your attack.
@@CreeperLucario Who? I searched for a while... and for itemless solo Weedle, just found WeedleGod. Indeed, he beat Dewgong with, 3 crits in a row I think. But in the end, he barely missed on doing it itemless, courtesy of Agatha. And that was with saving between E4 members allowed. Since Weedle cannot learn any other moves, Struggle doesn't hit ghosts, and you don't get a reliable way to abuse the Badge Boost Glitch... I don't think Jrose can pull it off with his current set of rules. Which makes me worry about his sanity. Even more than usual.
@@cereal7591 if you can 3shot the Dewgong without poison at least it is theoretically possible, you just need the Golbat to screech you 3 times to abuse badge boost, and Agatha needs to switch to her ghosts before you finish poison sting PPS, so you can struggle the Arbok and the golbat
You should do a little teaser at the end of each episode showing which pokemon you're doing next. The classic "who's that pokemon" with the black silhouette. Seems perfect for this series.
I think it goes to show just how entertaining Jrose11 is when I know Mimic and the badge boost glitch are going to be used in almost all of the runs, but he still has me wondering how he's gonna beat the game. I'm loving this series, it's one of the highlights of my day whenever it comes out.
This run seems to have gone very similar to our own attempt at one of these challenges. We'll be especially interested to see your eventual EKANS run to see how you overcome the various hurdles of the nope rope.
It’s legitimately awful how in some challenges you have to keep going after the Geodude and then lose to the Onix just for EXP. The new thumbnails are looking great JRose!
Oh man, your videos are a godsend right now, you're really keeping me sane when I have to work on these deadlines :' ) Excellent work, haven't even watched the whole video yet but I know it's going to be awesome!
I did notice something. So far, Paras (especially compared to Scyther or Venusaur) has one thing going for it. Since crit rate is based on speed, Paras doesn't get that many. And since crits override buffs, Paras doesn't have to worry about doing less damage with a crit.
Ah yes, the hm mon himself all on his own. Lets see how this goes. ^-^ Edit: Keep up the great work! Makes me want to play this but Dead By Daylight came out on mobile so playing that rn instead.
Since Mewtwo doesn't learn its only boosting move, Amnesia, until level 81, doesn't get sleeping moves, and levels up slower, I can see Mewtwo might not actually be the fastest solo pokemon run in Gen 1. Maybe Mewtwo's stats are strong enough though from minimum battles to still win everything from STAB Psychic and sheer coverage alone.
He took the helix fossil and comments are good for the.......oh wrong channel lol In all seriousness, you sir have the patience of a Saint with some of these runs. I could never put this much effort into challenge runs, and I'm glad I don't have too. I can just watch you and others to satisfy my pokemon challenges appetite. Good work my friend.

Oh boy another one yeah Ça va Bien, Jrose ;) E VAMOS LÁ PARA MAIS UMA SPEEDRUN!! Fucking Love it
8:36 Honestly I want you to do this again in the remakes specifically for this fight. I'd love to watch Pikachu's static activate causing you to not be able to move for the next 7 turns before getting knocked out because that's RNG for you.
Despite messing up with double edge usage the switch to mimic was a nice and fully expected move for you, pretty much a signature move for you at this point. So can we get a sandshrew run next?
Video #5 where I say "Do Eevee next, do one of the hardest runs with the best Pokemon!" Was refreshing all of last night assuming it was due for the next video to drop! Been really helping me through a sad time (no, not the quarantine, its not even in effect in my state sadly).
@@TheDanishGuyReviews caterpie and tweedle would've been done by now if so. He wants suggestions/gauging interest. Wish weedle was after bulbasaur tho!
we don't mind if the videos are over half an hour, hell i wouldn't even mind if they were an hour long. I enjoy these videos too much and they are a real blast to watch, time really flies when i'm watching these! Keep up the good work and plz keep them long!
