Agreed, so many game players now hate dialogue, even when it's written well which is odd to me. Not to say I have anything against them, but personally I love how much effort went into the narrative of this game, flaws with it and all. I am a certified lore enjoyer and dialogue reader, and I guess that's just me. Good to know other people also like it though, because if we go back to getting SWSH (or like most other pokemon outside of gens 5 and 7 tbh) levels of mid writing it'll suck.

[@Altair1243WAR]

@@greyscaleadaven Well, dialogue is fine but a semi-long unskippable cutscene in tge middle of battle is kind of annoying. Even moreso when you consider the likelihood that JRose loses two or more times while attempting to find a strategy and is forced to sit through it again That said, somewhat unfortunately, the way he plays isn't very representative of the whole community so I can't in good-faith say it should be re-written to make it better for a minority. Even though I really do think it's not a spectacular place to put it on the whole (the silver lining is that at least they didn't go overboard)

[@greyscaleadaven]

@@TheWrathAbove You know what, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for pointing that out, because as someone who enjoys both it now makes perfect sense why I feel like sometimes I'm at odds with the interests of other people in the community. Most people feel this way about RPGs: you play though it once, do everything, experience the narrative, and you're good. I like competitive in the vacuum of Pokemon Showdown from time to time (though I might get into it this generation on console), but I honestly grew out of challenge runs after doing like the 8th nuzlocke on my copies of black and white and B2W2 when I had a lot of free time. Now I can't even get through one, and I've tried a lot of times. Not to say that they're not my cup of tea, more like I enjoy watching other people do them for content instead of doing one myself. Point being, of course people trying to play the game in a different way are going to have different thoughts on repeating dialogue like that. Let alone a community mostly filled by people who enjoy challenge runs and competitive simulations more than the base game's campaign.

Just a tip for these games: In the school, if you take the classes there and do the events with the teachers there, you can get 50 dragon tera shards from the Art teacher (who also happens to be the Elite 4 member) Hassel, and 50 rock tera shards the former gym leader and also math teacher Ms. Tyme. they are kind of locked behind certain checkpoints in the game though as they're the last events for the respective teachers so I'm not sure when exactly you get access to the tera shards ingame. I forget the other events that give you these tera shards, but I do believe the raids give you some but nowhere near enough to feasibly change it unless you're really focused on doing one type of raid. Hope this helped!

Imo the names reflect pretty well the fact that these Pokémon don't originally exist in the game world.

Fyi on the tera damage boosts. Regular STAB is 1.5x damage, If tera type is same as a Pokemon's base type that type gets 2x STAB, if tera is new type then that gains STAB for the type on top of regular STAB. So using feucoco Fire tera = 2x STAB with fire attacks Grass tera = 1.5 STAB fire attacks + 1.5 STAB grass attacks Hope this helps

[@CaseyDreemurr]

Most people already know this. What a lot of people misunderstand, though, is that defensively, you change to that type. Meaning if you were a Fire/Ghost type, and you tera fire, you then become a pure Fire type defensively, no longer being immune to normal moves or weak to dark.

[@whitworth5s248]

On how Nemona takes the win when she battles you, it'd be really cool if that determined the ending of the game. Like, I have no idea how the endgame works in S/V, but wouldn't it be cool if back in Red/Blue if every rival battle determined how strong the final Champion battle was. Win every match an he really hits you with a big challenge by having better levels and team vs losing every time makes him overly confident and he is easier to fight, or something along those lines.

[@093Megaman]

It kind of did happen. Other than the rival just taking the win, in yellow it determined what type the rivals eevee turned into.

@@093Megaman I really like this, and I wish more games did this. Like your rival starts with a Normal type, and depending on if you win or lose, determines what starter they get (whether it's weak or strong to yours), then, the outcome of the second battle determines one other pokemon on their team, or something. More details on the Yellow version thing: You start with a pikachu, because yellow version. if you win both the first battle with Gary, and the optional battle on the path towards the league, then his Eevee will evolve into Jolteon (resists pikachu's attacks). If you win the first battle, but lose the second (skipping the optional battle counts as a loss), then it will evolve into Flareon, neutral to pikachu's attacks. If you lose both battles, then it will evolve into Vaporeon, weak to pikachu's attacks.

Regarding Brassius, it comes from Brassia: Brassia is a genus of orchids classified in the subtribe Oncidiinae. It is native to Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and northern South America, with one species (B. caudata) extending into Florida.[1][2] The genus was named after William Brass, a British botanist and illustrator, who collected plants in Africa under the supervision of Sir Joseph Banks. Its abbreviation in the horticultural trade is Brs.[3]

[@jasonfoxfire9563]

Funny enough, I fully EV trained my pokemon just because I enjoy training my pokemon, and the only reason I had any trouble was just because I went into it a bit underleveled and using a team comp I was kinda still just learning. Was pretty fun honestly not just automatically sweeping them. Admittedly, it was still easier than I had hoped though. Still hoping we get the battle tower back in DLC and they go all out setting the teams up with proper builds like they've done in the past. Even if the rewards of the tower are pretty much pointless, I just hope they give it back to us and honestly, just stack it with solid builds, perfect IV's, etc. With the reduction to the Hyper Training requirement level, there's no excuses for them to pull any punches with it. Especially since it would obviously be end game content.

Really enjoy these solo runs in the new games - hope you do more :) I think what made most of this game easy for your Fuecoco run compared to other games is because 1) you have access to things like bottle caps, mints, and vitamins early on, and 2) seems like none of the trainers in this game use healing items like Full Restores (also they got rid of that kind of broken friendship mechanic that helped out in the Bidoof run, lol). But I guess the extremely difficult final battle made up for how easy the Elite Four was, lol. I just finished playing through Scarlet and I actually found some of the later battles challenging, probably because I didn't over level my pokemon and was just using pokemon I like rather than ones that are good. Anyway, great job on this run!

hey Jrose, if you want to know about the Giovanni/Giacomo pronunciations I'll just say that in Italian Gi makes a J sound, but if you say them in English, try not to stress the i so much because it's actually silent or part of the G. So just replace Gi with J for Jovanni and Jacomo to sound authentic, however saying it like Jiovanni is widely accepted but incorrect. As for Lorelei, i think Lorra-lie is right

[@rainpooper7088]

Pretty sure the pun with Giovanni is supposed to be on the "geo" since he's the Ground type gym leader. Also, Lorra-Lie is completely wrong (it's Loh-reh-lai, after a siren from German mythology) and Jrose knows it, but people got sad when he started pronouncing it correctly for a while, so his version of the name has become an inside joke.

Honestly really like this gen for your style of content. I do hope you do more runs in it!

[@bvbvjghjkjkj]

To me, these are the best ones to watch. Going in blind and learning as you go. However, I understand it takes longer for the KZbinr. Still, thanks for the upload Jrose.

[@sadgirlhours4088]

I give huge props to you doing this challenge. It sounds like it was an absolute nightmare and I cannot fathom seeing this through.

[@Sniwott]

YOO MONTH OF JROSE LETS GO!!! Also can't believe you've already done a solo run in SV, that's insane!

[@thedarknesslord666]

YOU DID THIS TO ME! my goal on first play through is A team of only LECHONK! Bring it on Jrose!!

[@Mr-Trox]

Did it work?

[@thedarknesslord666]

Halfway through the game. Working on an elite four strategy. I don't know a Single LECHONK is viable but a team of 3 is killing it

I'll never complain about a long video! Great video J can't wait for what's next

[@alexanderalfonsson5874]

Let's goooo! So hyped for this.

[@michaelrichardgibbon3252]

The fact that you got this up so quickly is really insane to me.

[@PraefMace]

"I think Frosmoth is a cool Pokémon." Of course it is, Jrose! It is an ice-type! Okay, I will see myself out now.

[@osooso6027]

Shouts out for gettin a vid out this fast kinda crazy 🤘🏻🤘🏻 btw Grusha is a guy for the future runs 🤘🏻 keep it up

[@boomerleo89]

The school, from another video, teaches you how all the new mechanics work. Amongst all the other stuff it goes over. Seems like it could be important in this game.

[@devindipalma9861]

Love this! And this game has only been out a day are you kidding me?????? Gonna have to wait to watch this one till I beat the game but I’m so excited about this!

[@Jrose11]

Sleep was optional

[@zaperzero]

Well, I can say I'd love some more ScarVi solo runs from you. It looks like there's a huge toolbox of skills, abilities, items, and pokemon to use, and with the limited way the game railroads you compared to other pokemon games up until now, this might rival Gen 1 for the ammount of open-ended options you have access to!

[@adamschmehl]

Let’s go!!! This is gonna be awesome!!!

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

Let's go: is that Eevee or Pikachu?

[@Arthrexx]

Jesus, look at that pisspoor framerate of the game.

[@Pyxis10]

All those millions going straight not to development.

[@SinBiscuit]

While I don't expect to see like a playthrough for every single non evolved Pokemon, it would be rad to see more playthroughs in Scarlet or Violet due to how you can approach the game. The fact you did alot of the objectives out of order is cool

[@PokemonHunters-]

Dang you Jrose I had to work Friday and Saturday 15 hour shifts both days. I was going to do the same challenge but wasn't going to be able to start it until Sunday lol. Good to see you doing videos again tho man!!

[@GyroCannon]

I loved what they did with the gym leaders. Terastellizing Pokemon to become their type was genius.

[@cashnelson2306]

lol what? it made it a totally pointless mechanic, whatever one-shotter you brought in to counter their type just continues rolling face. would have been way more interesting if they tera'd OUT of their expected type

[@thetabbyguy921]

@@cashnelson2306 the one exception is the electric gym, that one is actually smart because Mismagius also has levitate.

[@greyscaleadaven]

@@cashnelson2306 It's more the concept of it, not the mechanics if that makes sense. Like we all know gyms aren't very hard, so the least they can do is make the tera pokemon unique and interesting in other ways. Each one has a narrative, in character, or conceptual reason why they tera the way they do, and that's the cool part. Though there are a few exceptions to this, like Grass/rock being perfect coverage, Ice-type altaria to beat ice type moves which are normally quad effective, or Iono.

Quaquaval is probably pronounced to sound like "carnaval," since that's its inspiration.

[@zero1343]

This was the first I'm hearing about no set mode, what a shame. On top of the graphical issues and awful performance its not very encouraging.

Looking at a pokemon with a chandelier on its head has really got me asking myself what the hell happened to pokemon. Great video nonetheless...

@@porkyminch5131 GF has always been terrible at optimization. There is no excuse when they make so much off this franchise. We shouldn't work to pay for subpar products.

[@1stclasswarior]

Based on information from the competitive community, you maintain STAB on your original typing when you change type. Therefore, you don't need to hold it for more damage. In addition, I noticed that, in the final battle, you knocked out the first 4 with fire moves, which would maintain STAB. Therefore, to make the rest of the run easier, instead of relying on Hyper Voice, couldn't you use Tera Blast and go for fairy type? It covers all of your defensive needs against the final duo and provides you with much better offensive capability, making the battle a lot easier to get through.

[@symphonyofaria]

...you can't choose tera type

[@vincenthall5908]

Wow, that was an amazing video! It's amazing that you were able to do this so quickly. I feel like from watching it like this, all the fun, good aspects of the game are highlighted and I don't have to be bogged down by any of the bad. That final battle was wild.
