Can You Beat Pokemon Red/Blue with Just a Zubat?

Awful stats, awful movepool, ya.... this is gonna be bad....
Edited by: SimplyAJ ( / simplyaj )
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.

Chekhov's misclick. JRose couldn't hide the excitement in his voice and I don't blame him because that was hilarious and brilliant. This run was like a movie, just like the epic Friendship Bidoof run.

[@DanelerH]

I'm reminded of an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V. Slight backstory: the show introduces a new form of the game called Action Duels, where Action Cards with randomly determined effects are scattered around the area and the players can find them to use. In one of the episodes, Yuya (the main character) faces against a guy named Edo. Towards the end of the duel, Yuya tries to grab an Action Card, but Edo makes him miss and gets the card instead. Edo uses it and is about to win the duel. Yuya is frantically running, looking for another Action Card. As he's running, he trips, but manages to turn the fall into a roll while simultaneously finding the Action Card he needs to win.

This reminds me that I REALLY like seeing battles you lose. It ties everything so much better together, since we see more of what motivates your decisions, and also the pacing just gets slowed down a little, which helps keep track of where we're at. Some of the videos are super easy to get lost in if you so much as look away for 10 seconds or get distracted by an ad, which is a tough ask to persist through for a KZbin audience of a 30-40 minute video. A little more context from showing full/lost battles might help a ton!

[@stardf29]

@@werisekk3 Going back to the Pidgey video, the main reason that Pidgey did worse was because it got absolutely stonewalled (icewalled?) at Lorelei, and needed to grind to Lv. 88 for that fight alone. Outside of that fight, Pidgey didn't really struggle nearly as much with the rest of the game (in part because so much level grinding was needed for Lorelei alone that the rest of the League was much easier). In contrast, while Zubat had some advantages against Lorelei, it definitely struggled a lot more with the rest of the game. So one could argue that Zubat is "worse" in some ways than Pidgey.

Oh man, that ending! lol, high drama. Great stuff Jrose, you did not disappoint when you promised something big.

[@afroduckaka4pf593]

Dude you are literally crazy, I honestly wasn’t sure if this was possible.. Props to you for doing this! Edit and spoilers****: After finally listening through the whole video… the fact you ended this run with HORN DRILL of all things… wow

[@ESgsPhysics]

Loving all the episodes of this lately!

[@earthdragonw]

I really enjoyed all your videos! Spent the Christmas holiday catching up on every single one so that each one's bar is fully red -- so worth it. Thank you for doing all these challenges: when I was younger, I kept on dreaming about the potentials that basic Pokemons can do in video games... your videos are basically dream come true :) all the love

[@ShamanJeeves]

That was an epic conclusion! Your new rapid-fire release schedule makes me happy, thank you.

[@HewleyxAngel]

Got lucky this went up while on my way to work and have enjoyed immensely even if this sounded brutal. Best of luck on the next run and may it be as easy as Hypno.

Oh good lord I can’t wait to see how this goes

[@kylekinganimations7008]

Yooooo, the palette on this run is sick. Love castlevania and your videos, keep it up!

[@ChoosenOneStudios]

Heck of an ending! Been loving the increased flow of videos. your stuff rocks! :)

[@gametourny4ever627]

This was incredible to watch. I do wonder how much easier it might be as a Golbat.

[@FiniteChaos]

Had a kinda bleh day, just seeing this in my feed perked me right up. Thanks for creating so much content Jrose :^)

[@badhabitrekt6474]

congrats Jrose! i didn't think it could be done. I didn't think anyone could have the patience to finish a run like this. Good Job!

[@RoyArkon]

I thought the 4 mid-battle switches from the the first Agatha battle was wild, but that Horn Drill at the end was unbelievable

[@rogerlay8630]

I'm so glad I caught this right away!

[@chocov1233]

This was an amazing playthrough and I respect you so much for being able to beat this game with just a Zubat, that's insane.

[@santoro2001]

Woke up this morning wishing I had another video to watch...thanks for knocking so many out so fast.

[@kmytpmv314]

Been waiting for this run for a long time! Well done for your dedication! When this series is complete it will be the best thing ever on KZbin. Thank you Jrose, you genuinely improve the quality of life for so many people. Keep it up 🥹

[@noodlespoo]
