I really love everytime Jrose says "at this time Mewtwo already finished the game"

Fun Fact, Tangela is the only pure Grass-Type in Gen 1

If he doesn’t end it by saying “And that’s a wrap” I’ll… do nothing

Tangela: The Vine Pokémon…… Does not learn Vine Whip in RGB

This run emulates the experience of playing Pokemon Blue before I was able to read

Green dragonite actually looks like it belongs in its evolutionary line

Fun fact: In the original Red and Green, Blizzard has not a 10% chance to freeze, but 30%. Lorelei might be interesting here.

21:00 It's actually the other way around! The RG sprites were turned into art by Sugimori, who made them more consistent design-wise, as well as making small edits to the designs themselves.

Reminder about the "bad" R/G sprites: Those are the original designs. The drawings that standardized the monsters were interpretations done by one single person. Had it been anyone else we'd have a different, but parallel set of gen 1 monsters. Neat to think about.

Spectator: “Jrose, it’s all in Japanese. Couldnt turning battle animations on help give you an idea what’s going on?!” Jrose: “cant sacrifice the time, we’ll figure it out”

Oh god it's so weird looking at these green sprites after watching 100+ red and blue vids

Imagine being in the room when someone at Game Freak saw the Red/Green Golbat Sprite (25:52) and thought "I have an idea on how to improve this for the next release..."

That Charizard sprite makes a supposed vicious dragon look almost cute and completely derpy.

Oh boy, never expected to see Pokémon Green here of all games. Thanks for being so special as a channel AND as a person. You're awesome.

5:58 ah yes, the legendary duck-billed rattlesnake. how majestical. 🤣🤣🤣

i had fun playing green. didn't learn any japanese but learned what shapes were the damaging attacks haha

Been watching Jrose for years now and he is one damn hard worker. Good job keeping the content feeling fresh. It's gonna be such a momentus event when he finishes this gen 1 series. Congrats on the sponsor! This guy even makes the ad enjoyable

I always love seeing the old sprites. They have a certain charm to them that you just dont get with the newer 3D games

Watching Jrose play the version I played when I was little puts a smile on my face. Especially the "Weird seeing a 10 in the name" part.

So many content creators use "Pokémon Green" to be more exotic since that's the version _name_ that we never got here, but aside from the sprites and the bugs that are exclusive to Japanese Red/Green, Green is functionally the same as international Blue. The actual "exotic game" that was never released outside of Japan was _Blue_ Version, which has a different Pokémon distribution, new layout for Cerulean Cave (though I can't remember if it's the Blue layout or the Red/Green layout that made it into international Red/Blue), and different in-game trades. Fun fact: because international Red/Blue were made using the upgrades from Japanese Blue, any text changes from Red/Green to Blue would be preserved in international Red/ Blue. In Japanese Blue, there are two in-game trades featuring the trade evolutions--a Machoke for a Haunter in Cerulean City, and a Kadabra for a Graveler in the Cinnabar Lab. In both cases, the NPC says "the (Pokémon) you traded to me went and evolved!" when spoken to again after making the trade. While the Machoke-Haunter trade was Poliwhirl for Jynx in Red/Blue and Poliwhirl isn't fully evolved, the Kadabra-Graveler trade is Raichu for Electrode, leading to the NPC claiming that Raichu evolved. Incidentally, the Poliwhirl evolving immediately after the trade would be possible in any generation _other than_ Gen 1...crazy fan theory that due to translation errors, the NPC that you get Jynx from was actually the discoverer of Politoed? ...Anyway, I agree that Tangela was the Pokémon most screwed over by Gen 1's awful move pools. Due to its Special being what would eventually become its Special Attack, its effective Gen 1 BST is actually closer to *Tangrowth's* than to its own post-Gen 1. (60 extra points of Sp. Def means it goes from 435 to 495; Tangrowth's is 535). In theory, it should be a great tank that hits hard on the special side...which would be great if its Special movepool weren't so bad that it literally gets more damage per turn with a two-turn move with no invulnerability turn than it would attacking twice with a weaker move (though the weaker move still pays off because it's HP-draining). Absolutely terrible. Edit: Oh he actually talks about the Red/Green/Blue thing later in the video.

I very much enjoyed the “Japanese Sentence” in the thumbnail.

Jrose, this video was nothing short of being a real treat. Thank you for all that you do. It was such a joy to watch and to see all the different sprites of pocket monster green.

It's so wild seeing the Green sprites again. I haven't seen these since I was a kid on my Uncle's computer playing an emulator of the game.

Recently found your channel and been really enjoying this series! Had an eye surgery last week, and was also in the hospital for some severe back/shoulder pain which has made it tough to sleep, and you videos have become a great comfort for me! Thanks for making these, and I'm looking forward to a solo run with my favourite mon, Raichu!

I spent a semester studying Japanese in Japan, and it happened to be the summer that B2/W2 were released in japan (this was before they started simultaneous worldwide releases). So I picked up a copy of White 2 the day it released in Japan, and had a lot of fun playing it. I was far from fluent, but the games are simple enough, and I treated it like practice. While translating dialogue was easy enough, the real problem ended up being the Pokemon's names. My favourite example was "Trainer is about to send out Windy, would you like to change Pokemon?" I had no idea what a "Windy" was, so I just had to guess. I figured it was probably a Flying type, so I switched to Galvantula (bug/electric, for those less familiar with new mons), who was very unhappy to discover that Windy is the Japanese name for Arcanine! Why? No idea. lol

Great video! Also, Some of the sprites are actually amazing!

I'm a simple man. I see a new Jrose video uploaded, I watch it

I'm so glad you did this run in pokemon green. These sprites are so interesting to look at! Also glad you put in all the extra work of not knowing japanese 😂 made it very relatable. Keep up the great work jrose! Love to see it ❤

"Fu** knowing japanese, I'm going to nerd it out - I basically memorised the whole game"

The Pokémon Green sprites are really neat. Some of them are actually more spot on than the sprites from Blue. And the others... well... I have to say this video's concept feels like an April Fools prank that came a month and a half early

This is a top 3 Jrose plot twist videos.

so fun seeing the different sprites. loved your outro too haha

Tangela was the favourite çpokemon of a friend when we were children becuase the name of his mom sounded similar. Sadly, the mom, who was like an aunt to me, passed away some years ago. Now, Tangela continues remembering of that woman. Thanks for doing something special with Tangela, Jrose.

Gengar is so freaky looking in this game. Great work, as usual; I enjoyed your asides on the sprites!

Jrose your videos are a lot of fun to watch and relaxing especially before bed, I appreciate the time you put into them and thank you for your service

Gotta love that title! It really sounds like a mistranslated blurb from back in the day

Love your content, JRose! Hope you'll eventually be so crazy as to do this for other gens as well!!

I love your videos mate, these give me such nostalgia and it’s so great to get my fix through your videos as I don’t have the time to replay the games myself. And your commentary is brilliant, loads of great analysis but in a comedic and light hearted tone, really shows you’re someone who enjoys the games and cares about explaining their quality and the best way to enjoy them, to the viewer! Please keep it up! Love the 1 hour+ videos especially! All the best from the UK

Finally, the Tangela “impossible challenge.” I’ve been waiting for my favorite Pokémon to be played for over a year and the fact that it’s being played on Green version just makes it awesome and worth the wait… Thanks, Jrose11 for this series. Keep up the entertaining content; you rock.

I'm so excited for this!! This is the one solo run I've done so I'm curious how JRose will do!

The Ekans sprite made me burst out laughing 😂

I like how the thumbnail had the effort put in to have ジェイローズ１１ (Jrose11) and 日本語文章 (Japanese Writing). Its interesting to see how some Pokemon have the same name in Japanese. I noticed スターミー (staaamii = Starmie)

Omg I loved seeing all those different sprites!

Tangela is cool because it has Sonic shoes.

25:57 I love Haunter's Green sprite. Too bad we only got to see it for a couple seconds lol.

I dug this one. Seeing the alternate sprites and Pokemon names was neat. I'm probably going to grab this soon =)

This is definitely one of the most fun videos in a while. The green sprites are hilarious and fun 😀

I was just thinking about when the tangela one was going to come out! Excited to watch!

JRose really did a whole-ass run in a language he doesn't even know. Absolute legend.

I lowkey expected him to start the first few seconds speaking Japanese 💀

Oh man, that was the closest Rival Fivel fight you've ever lost

Fantastic. Your vids are always a treat.

Ah I needed that to support me throughout this week, keep up Jrose !

I love these videos but I especially love the music, both by MakeGameMusic, but especially the remixes!

Always nice when Jrose uploads

Love these videos can't wait for the next one lol

Gengar looks like something that came out of "Where the Wild Things Are" movie/kid book Like it literally looks like it's covered in Fur with a little combover on top

The coincidence of Jrose doing the "stay tune for the next episode of Jrose Ball Z" for the first time and Akira Toriyama's death made me smile and a bit sad Dude, your foreshadowing is beyond universe

Maybe it’s just because I’ve stared at the Gen 1 sprites for so many hours but I kinda like the OG Japanese sprites more than what we got.

jrose, your content over the years is one of the things that inspired me to start pokémon play playthorughs! thank you for your hard work and dedication to entertaining us!

Great job Jrose that was a challenge in a challenge with using tangela and guessing what moves are what and keep up the amazing work

NEW JROSE VIDYA COZY DROP EVERYTHING TO WATCH Thanks man.

It’s fun seeing the Green sprites

Pokémon green Alakazam really rocking the kelp stache like the SpongeBob movie

Your videos are a form of therapy for me btw.

This is really cool. Awesome idea to play Pokemon Green!

I played Pokemon Green when I was first learning Japanese and I loved it. I still remember learning how to say "shorts", tampan, from the youngster on route 3.

Great video, cool to see Pokemon Green!

Won’t lie I probably would not have clicked on this since it’s Tangela but I saw you playing green and that definitely intrigued me! Great vid

Wow some og sprites are really nice 😮

these vids always cheer me up.

I love it how you titled the episode like a Japanese anime title from Pokémon.

Pokemon Green is the only Gen 1 game that I never got to play, but I always wanted to since green is my favorite color. Amazing that you showed up this game at least once in your series, with the this deep green side-background and all.

I love how jrose so simply explains the badge boost now. If you dont know, you havent been on this journey but you will go back and watch this epic run and become one of us. B.B.G!!!!

So much is changed from region to region when various mediums are brought to other areas and translated to different languages and whatnot. Very cool.

I remember playing Secret of Mana in Japanese at some point, and because I had played it so much before, I could navigate most areas and things without much trouble. It was kind of fun to recognize, how much I could do without knowing what the characters exactly represented - I hope you had a similarly fun experience :)

Fitting video, since I am currently holidaying in Japan!

Your videos and the Behind Bluey podcast are my feel good content.

What a pleasant surprise! I just did a living Dex on Green. Playing the game in a language I can barely read wasn't easy but after a while I was able to pick out some key vocab words (plus the battle animations did a TON of heavy lifting). Currently doing the same in Crystal!

Love the sprite changes on this version, so interesting to see all the differences.

That Charizard sprite is adorable.

I am in love with the term "luck sandwich", and will be adding it to my vocabulary

jrose ballZ got you the like ( I always give it, but almost always when I realize how awesome ur content is)

28:48: What Exeggcutor missed was "saimin jutsu", which Google translates as Hypnosis.

When I play green version I find the animations are great for letting you know what move the Pokemon used. As long as you know the visual cues, you can tell what move they used and if it missed.

Pokémon Green? Let's go! Dropped everything to watch this! ✨

oh my gosh ive always wondered how you solved Lt Surges puzzle! Thats my biggest challenge in Red and blue!

XD Well other than missing the "And that's a wrap" punchline everyone wishes they got (though I find the DBZ reference funny), pretty cool vid though pretty unfortunate ranking for Tangela despite the strong end game. Also interesting you used Pokemon GREEN for this despite US Blue functioning a similar way.

Green sprites be cursed

"We're almost done the single stage pokemon" Canadian spotted 👀

If Tangela had some better early moves, it's amazing to think how much farther it could have gotten. It's awesome you did Pokémon Green! That Dragonair sprite still almost made me cry, though.

Well look at what's waiting for me when I get home from work!!! A cold brewski and a new JRose11 upload on...Green Version?? I can't believe..today was a GOOD DAY!!!

i'm predicting swords dance or growth, body slam, mega drain and sleep powder for the final moveset, though because of agatha, mimic could be a late addition in place of mega drain. either way, always happy to see a new jrose upload

Always the explanation for why using badge boost is used. Enjoy it every time. Cool to see a run in green finally

Fun fact: Blizzard has a 30% freeze chance in this version.

This is really the first time I've actually sat down and looked at the OG sprites... my God, am I having a laugh

Cool to see the unique sprites used in Pokemon Green. Alakazam, Cloyster, Hitmonlee, and Tangela!

The title reminds me of a lot of the original Japanese titles of Pokemon anime episodes which I assume is intentional. As for the Pokemon Green while it is a nice change of pace I have to wonder what GameFreak were thinking when they chose to use those original Pokemon sprites as many are just bizarre.

Its impressive you could play the whole game in Japanese. Always something surprising in your videos
