TLDR; genius series, keep up the good work! When first stumbling upon this channel, I remember seeing comments like “I’m addicted to this series!” And I thought, “really?” But after becoming addicted myself, I think I understand why. Some people might think the series is redundant, or narrating the battles is distasteful. But I think the reason we like it so much is just because it’s comfortable. It’s like an tv show where each episode follows the same general story (Phineas and Ferb). We are comfortable going into the videos and we know what to expect, but there’s enough variation between each Pokémon to keep it interesting. The key factor that brings this all together is Jrose talking to his audience like a normal person. He keeps emphasis off things that he has to say each episode for us that have been following the series, but still provides enough info to follow for the new folks.

Here’s the chance of missing each attack. It’s a.0014% chance of missing each attack in a row. .3^3*.25^3 or 9/1000*1/64 This is assuming that rain dance was never active. 30% chance to miss thunder and 25% chance to miss iron tail.

[@spegasparce1389]

Gen 3 Switch in AI has a couple weird quirks. With Pichu, switch in AI first looks for super-effective moves. It sees no SE attacking moves so it goes for Spikes on Cloyster which is a tier 2 ground move. After killing Cloyster, there are no more moves that are SE on Pichu, so it next looks for STAB moves. But there's a bug - it looks for STAB of the DEAD mon! Killing Cloyster then baits Slowbro because it is the next in line with STAB of Cloyster, namely water moves. Lapras has a Water move whereas Jynx has no Psychic or Water move for Slowbro's STAB to bait it out. Thus Lapras is baited due to having Bro's Water STAB leaving Jynx for last. It's also why Haunter comes out last on Agatha - it has no super effective move on Pichu and the others all share poison STAB.

This is odd but I like the way you do your commentary. Usually my mind either trails off or I can't understand what someone says no matter how clear thier voice is and how much attention I give to them. It feels like I have dyslexia with spoken words and at times get really annoying.This doesn't help with watching KZbinrs so I'm forced to use Subtitles. With you? For some reason I can pay full attention to whatever you're saying. And that's like 1% of the people I know that can do that. I won't ever know if it's the way you say things, your voice or whatever but I really like how clear your words end up in my head. Sometimes I wish you were my teacher so I could understand everything XD I replay your old videos for not only the voice but it's also because I respect the amount of effort you put into these videos. Sometimes I use them as podcasts as well whenever I want to have something to listen to. Thank you for the rare gift!

I've always headcanoned that pre-evolved Pokémon kept from evolution keep growing as they level up - so I'm definitely imagining this pichu as ending the run as tall as a man.

26:20 “Giovanni isnt a gym leader” Then lists him as the final gym leader xD I know at that battle he wasnt a gym leader but the irony of him saying that was just too funny :3

[@frightfactoryYT]

Man im sure youve heard it a trillion times, but thank you for your content. You're truly one of a kind :) always fall asleep to your vids and wake up to them lol!

[@alexisauld7781]

I guess this game loves to Pichu up a lot... Have a stiff drink, you've suffered for it. XD

[@dialena4418]

Well played lol

[@legolasthearrow3766]

You make quarantine so enjoyable Jrose, we really appreciate what you do and don't stop!!!! (maybe Spheal in pokemon Emerald?)

[@reformed1trick739]

I'd love to see a hard-core nuzlock from you on a game with good ai. (Catch only first encounter in each area, if any pokemon faint the they are dead forever, no over-leveling gym leaders) I'm interested to see what strategies you would use to manipulate encounters, and how you would stratigicly use the pokemon at your disposal

[@astracrits4633]

I feel like JRose would probably manage to do it deathless.

[@pichuking]

Bro just gave me a gun I'll beat the Pokemon game

[@anubeia]

It’s only been a few seconds after you’ve posted, but I hope “beat you with Pichu” was used at least once.

[@DennisComella]

You do a great job with the commentary, on top of skillful gameplay. I really enjoy these challenge runs!

[@miguela2790]

I didn't think i would be able to enjoy videos about the same game over and over and over where you pretty much follow the exact same route with minor tweaks until I came across your chanel Jrose

[@grandmastr2602]

What I like about you is that you don’t resort to overleveling immediately like most poketubers do with these challenges. Love the content

[@lloydirving6209]

22:55 you're correct that healing items are retroactive in gen 1, but you are incorrect that thunderbolt would have gone first and killed muk before koga had a chance to use the potion. In gen 1, he would have used the potion the same turn that thunderbolt put him into red.

[@AsianSensation]

Absolutely love this series dude🔥

[@MastrKillz]

Always look forward to these. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lunareclipse2553]

I love these videos! Imagine a 'can you beat Red/Blue with only Pichu' run and others where you hack in the needed Pokemon with stats taken from Gold/Silver
