Rules and Explanations
Rules: (1) Only use the one Pokémon in Battle, others for HMs are fine. (2) No Items in battle (3) No Glitches* (4) Set Mode (5) No saving in the Elite Four (6) No evasion moves

Badge Boost "Glitch" Explanation: When you collect odd numbered badges the game boosts a stat by 12.5%. Brock gives ATK, Surge DEF, Koga SPE, and Blaine SPC (in game text is wrong). When any of your stats are modified (even by you using a move like Withdraw, or your opponent using Leer) the badge boosts are re-applied. So If you use Swords Dance, you also gain *an additional 12.5% in Speed/Defence/Special (on top of the 12.5% you were supposed to be getting). When you level up, the game corrects this error, and only the non-glitch 12.5% remains. Because of how difficult it is to avoid, I've allowed for it to be exploited, since opponents will spam Leer/Growl anyways, and this way battles are less random. Red/Blue are extremely buggy, so there's always going to be some glitches present, and because of how unavoidable this one is, it is allowed in runs, and considered more like a special Generation 1 mechanic as opposed to a glitch.

    No exaggeration here... this series is an instant "stop whatever I'm doing, new JRose dropped" for me
  • @key099able
    Well Considering Giovanni was literally the roadblock you had to get help from an math teacher to figure out how to beat with Weedle, I think it's still an important checkpoint like Rival 3.

    7:42 I think the expression you were looking for is "The sharpening of the axe does not delay the cutting of wood."
  • @ThatGuyCalledM
    I love the fact that a "short" video for JRose is still over 30 minutes ❤
  • i like when you narrate the giovanni 1 fight, especially for mons like rhyhorn that had a hard time with brock because it provides a nice display of how much easier brock would be if you had better moves.
  • @jdawg2798
    The fact you made the rivals name "Poacher" is undoubtedly the best name you've ever chosen lmao

    Jrose: "I have an idea to make rival 6 easier, but it won't work against the champion" Me: "he's mimicking agility again, isn't he?" Jrose: "We can use mimic"

    Jrose: "It feels bad relying on a 20% miss chance" Also Jrose:"If we get hit with sand attack, it's a reset"
  • @calamelli209
    The reason the jump from level 12 to 13 helped so much against Brock is because of damage rounding thresholds. I learned it from the videos of another Pokemon solo runner, Scott's Thoughts, and it essentially means that reaching a level whose last digit is 3, 5, 8, or 0 will give a larger damage boost than other levels due to the way the damage calculation formula (which includes level in it) rounds damage. I don't think I've ever heard you talk about them before, and those magic numbers might be something to keep in mind for future playthroughs.

    Sometimes I see an enemy Pokémon use a strong one-hit move and I go “how is that fair at all??” then I remember the game fully expects you to not be using just one Pokémon for your entire run
  • @lukefenton7809
    Rhyhorn learning more and better special moves than 80% of the Pokedex is such a Gen 1 moment. Love the videos Jrose!
  • @einjix
    Just imagine Red shouting HORN ATTACK, HORN ATTACK,HORN ATTACK,HORN ATTACK,HORN ATTACK,HORN ATTACK for like 30 minutes
  • @ilbabo2218
    I like how Rhyhorn took out its frustration of suffering all those Misty crits by critting two of Surge's pokemon lol
  • @marsella527
    The fact that JRose is up to gen 1 #78 is crazy. Slowly, slowly approaching that finish line...
  • @TheZackofSpades
    I always liked how Rock Slide in Gen 1 looks like you’re a DBZ character hitting that power spike where the rocks start to float around you
  • @psycholuigiman
    There is actually an expression about time similar to the one you used. It goes something like "The most reliable way to waste time is to try and save it." It refers to trying to do things quickly, but ending up having to spend even more time later on to compensate for the quick, easy, and/or sloppy job you made of something earlier.
  • I appreciate that JRose is more willing to level up than he used to be. You would drive yourself crazy trying to beat a fight with a zubat and no leveling until you absolutely had to.
  • @dh510
    These last videos have come out in quick succession.. is this the ramp up for another "Month of JRose"?😁
  • @munchkin2465
    Thought this would be the video where the ending would be cut out and a part 2 would continue it. I still await that day.
