​@@DisplayThisOkay I think that might be the only one, yeah...I don't really count Sableye. The physical/special split was so necessary for so long. Really sad that they took until gen 4 to implement it.

[@rainpooper7088]

It was because Steel had to be a physical type, so they made Dark special to have the same amount of physical and special types. That’s also why Ghost was physical despite that making even less sense.

[@limon16025]

@@rainpooper7088 I think ghost was physical because in gen 1 the only ghost move was lick, and it made sense for it to be physical. Gen 2 was built mostly on gen 1 stuff so it stayed the same, and by gen 3 it was the standard, so changing it would be weird.

In Gen 6 you need to use Pokemon Ami which effectively manipulates your luck with your own hands unlike later on in the series where they combined the friendship and affection mechanics (which was just dumb imo) so i don't think he'd do it if he wasn't just forced, so in ORAS i feel like you just couldn't get past Steven as Champ unless you get mad lucky with a million crits but Skarmory is a terrible Pokemon to transform into due it being meh in the offensive department but due to it's typing would still be able to tank attacks besides the fact struggle just kills you before you can even get past aggron (probably)

The most ironic aspect of this Ditto Level Up Glitch is that part of it IS the same as part of the Badge Boost Glitch. In the Badge Boost Glitch, levelling up reset your badge boost stat boosts.

Out of curiosity, I checked why AI used Attract in this battle, and from what can I tell, there is a bug in code that checks whether AI should be using Attract. In short, in Gen3, gender is determined by a personality value. To determine whether AI should be using be using Attract it reads personality value and species to determine gender of your Pokemon. The problem here is that it reads your species as the one after transformation (unlike other checks for gender in the game that check species before transformation) which means that after transforming into Sealeo the personality value of your Ditto makes it male for this function.

35:12 This is exactly why I love watching your videos and don't like a lot of other Pokémon challenge channels. Because most of the time, their strategy *is* just to level up to a ridiculous level and then breeze through the game. At that point, it doesn't feel like a challenge any more. Sure, you can beat any RPG game with any restrictions if you're at an insane level compared to the opponent. At that point it's just a numbers game. But you come up with fun strategies to avoid having to just be over leveled enough that it's impossible to loose. Even if they have to rely on luck sometimes, I'd pick that any day over the alternative. It's both much more entertaining, and much more intriguing. Because there's actual strategy, thinking and planning involved. That's what brings me back every time, seeing the human brain overcome self imposed challenges with strategy and planing. Seeing an impossible situation and thinking 'how can I do this anyways', not 'guess it's impossible to do at this lvl'. Looking forward to whatever other challenges you go for in the future my friend ❤️ (p.s obviously leveling up is necessary sometimes, but I love that that's your last resort instead of your first go to)

Why does he somehow look exactly how I imagined and also nothing like it ?

[@alexschlessman5355]

I think the longer you have to picture the face behind the voice; the more it's not what you expect

That doesn't make any sense.

I kinda expect Pikasprey to do gen 4 in sheer rivalry. Without even mentioning Jrose, just skipping gen 3.

[@edgevalmond6173]

@@bridgeseller7004 I expect him to take a shot before attempting it. XD When Asprey is done, the recording will sound like he is high and drunk at the same time. You’d expect smeargles to do that instead. 🤨

[@aidenpons9584]

@@bridgeseller7004 Pikasprey's too kind to do something like rivalry, but he'd gladly do it for his own suffering

Just wanna say this is my favorite video by you yet! I love gen 3, you discovered a new glitch and it was so challenging. Awesome stuff

[@juggertr0ll]

This video to me is like a classic movie, it just pops into my head and I just gotta go rewatch it

[@DokuDoko]

I'm gonna be honest, I always imagined you as a talking Kadabra. This face reveal really shook me.

[@VGOM2000]

Considering that Kadabra is a kidnapped and transformed boy (according to Fire Red's pokedex at least), you could be right.

This seems to be far more challenging than I would have expected. Super entertaining. Keep up the great work!

[@poppinpineapples3481]

Incredible video, it’s so clear that you put an incredible amount of effort into making your videos completely one of a kind, and rather than doing something boring, you found super interesting ways to get through all the roadblocks!

[@astupidmonkeyygaming544]

That level 100 ding at the end was something of a beauty.

[@Grarrgle]

Just wanted to leave a comment saying your videos lately have been a huge source of entertainment during the Covid lockdown, and I'm delighted to see that all the work you're putting into the channel is being rewarded. Feels appropriate to comment on it now, what with your outro to this video. Thanks a bunch, and I look forward to your future challenges and continued channel growth!

[@dudeross9120]

Outstanding run! I love seeing the strategies you employ during your videos and especially when you pivot and have to figure out new things and try them out. I think, when all is said and done, this has been the most interesting video to date! Great work.

[@donlyphans7801]

Oh man what a great challenge run! I can definitely see thd blood, sweat and tears in this one. You uncovered a new game mechanic and constantly used ingenious held items! I'm sure seeing a de-mysteryberry stategy in gen 2 would be out of the question...

[@rusiamonky7670]

Hey Jrose I just have to tell you that I really appreciate you. Your content and your genuineness is helped me through some tough times. Thanks for being who you are. Stay true brother!

[@andersonantunesdeleu8591]

Totally crazy Jrose! You are very creative winning the diverse battles in various ways! Very 🤓! Please keep on doing more solo challenges to test out more Pokemon, like you were doing in Pokemon red/blue. Thank you for your videos! I hope to see more! Take care!

Idk why I watch these, I haven't played pokemon in years, but Jrose's narration is so gripping that I cannot turn it off! Awesome videos.

[@HybridAngelZero]

Man, you are absolutely nuts, I just can't believe you pull some of these challenges off xD Also, it's nice to actually see the face behind these wild challenges but... you're not actually a Kadabra?!

[@EspireMike]

The inclusion of the failed battle was a suprise, glad you included it, really hits home how frustrating the challenge must have been.

Great challenge, super fun! Very excited for other challenges you have planned, though I would be very fine with just regular challenges of the series for a while!

I remember Pikasprey doing this, I commend you for going through with this mind numbingly frustrating run for our amusement.

Pikasprey was the og ditto runner on youtube, but if I recall correctly he used items in battle Edit: nevermind, he also eschewed items, i must have been thinking of someone else Both of these dudes are legends of the ditto though, for sure
