[@andreaverone9377]

The paralyzed Dragonite was outspeeding you cause of a glitch (yes, incredible): if a paralyzed Pokemon uses Agility, the game will first reset his speed, and then apply the speed boost. This works the same with burned pokemon using Swords Dance. I know, gen I being gen I.

[@teamtwerk98]

After all the bonuses and normal solo runs,after we know the AI better then are friends lol

[@ZipplyZane]

I'd add one more trick: you could pick whether it used good AI or bad AI. Though the main problem would be the logistics of setting this up. AI against AI isn't easy to make happen. The way with the least amount of hacking would require two Game Boys, but even that would require hacking one of the games a lot to give the trainer the player's team from the other game, and the player the trainer's team from the other game. And then we have the problem that enemy Pokemon have infinite PP, while the player Pokemon doesn't. You'd probably need to fix that, likely by letting the player have infinite PP, as giving the AI PP would likely make it not work properly, as it was designed for infinite PP. It might thus be easier to just hack a single game to change how battles work. I mean, either way will need someone good with code to change things.

You know, the one thing I wanna see is: Can you beat Pokemon Red/Blue with JUST an arcanine? At first people might think "PAH, Easy! Arcanine is one of the strongest non legendary pokemon in Gen 1, and one of the strongest Fire Pokemon even to this DAY! That will be a no brainer!" Except you realise that arcanine can NOT learn a single attack by Level up! It only has 4 Move from the get go: Ember, Leer, Roar and Take Down. And the only moves it can learn from TM's are: Toxic (Poison), Dragon Rage (Dragon), Dig (Ground), Reflect (Psycho, not even attack, but can be useful), Fire Blast (Fire) and 11 more Normal Type moves, of which only 8 are actual attacks, and the only noteworthy ones are Skull Bash, which is bad in Gen 1, Swift (kinda useful to hit targets in the air and in the ground), Body Slam (actually useful since it can paralyze enemys... except normal types in gen 1) and Double Edge. So I say an Arcanine Run would be pretty, pretty challenging actually =) Also a fire type with only 2 Fire Moves, and both are Special dispite Arcanine actually being more of a physical Powerhouse, since it's Special Stat is only 80, compared to his 110 Physical attack xD EDIT: I edited the last part. forgot that the special Stat of arcanine in Gen 1 is 80, not 100 xD'

[@Ukkosade]

To the ones not understanding how a paralysed dragonite outsped jolteon after 1 agility, even tho gen1 paralyse does a 1/4 speed modifier, it's simple : The same way as badge boosts triggers again after stat modifiers, stat-related shenanigans are fucked up in gen1. Speed boost from agility cancels COMPLETELY the speed drop from paralysis (the 1/4 chance of not attacking is still there tho) so dragonite there just had a clean x2 speed, thus outspeeding jolteon. For more info about all the stat-modifying glitches of gen1 (in fact, there is more about paralysis and burn), check on bulbapedia at the "generation 1 list of glitches", at the "Stat modification errors" part cheers and I love your content Jrose, everytime your videos are released is just a "alright, time to have a chill time for a bit".

[@mistermr2147]

For that Lance fight, the reason Dragonite outsped after Agility even though it's paralyzed is because boosting a stat undoes the loss from a status affliction. So for example, when paralyzed Dragonite used Agility, its speed returned to normal and THEN was doubled. Same thing works with Burn and Swords Dance. I'm honestly a little shocked you didn't know that, I feel like it's less obscure than the Badge Boost Glitch.

[@ForeverLaxx]

I was also surprised he didn't know not to use Pin Missile against anything it's not x4 strong against that resists Thunderbolt. On average, Thunderbolt always does more damage to neutral targets than a x2 Pin Missile unless it gets a crit or hits at least 3 times. And even then, it has to have incredibly low defense. It's basically only good against Exeggutor and Venusaur.

Ooooh a new jrose video on a rainy evening just hits different. Happy Thanksgiving everyone

[@BayBerry1337]

Jrose, somehow your voice has become the default narration voice whenever I’m doing something mundane. Have you considered selling voicelines for GPS?

[@shadowtitanx3962]

38:39 About that. That’s a thing that competitive Gen 1 players know that. If Dragonite is Paralyzed, and if Dragonite uses Agility, the Paralysis Speed drop is ignored (Yeah. Another Gen 1 quirk. Who would have thought.)

[@ghoulzandghosts]

Jrose when any minor inconvenience happens: nOOOO

[@giusepperabito5398]

You basically gave that guy one of the strongest Pokémon in all Jotho and Kanto ahahaha . Great video Jrose, can’t wait for the next minimal battles challenge

[@jeffk3368]

You already know this is gonna be a good video.

[@fugox]

The last time I played or cared about any Pokémon game was 13 years ago but I watch these videos religiously.

[@RAFAT9]

Last time i was this early, you still called Rival Fival, Rival Five

[@daswasich1147]

truly dark times

[@salamipitza]

when was the last time?

[@chris_banks]

@Jrose11 - I've been recovering from surgery and and while being bedridden the last 8 days I've been binge watching all your pokemon 1st and 2nd gen runs. Coupled with the nostalgia I have for the games, I really enjoy watching you and the narrations you give. Thanks mate. Looking forward to every new one you post. Keen to watch this one now.

[@e2juancruzbarreiro939]

I love the "eeveelution" rating

[@GoddamitJmie]

I dont know if you made this video becuase of me asking in the last video but either way thanks before i even watch this man , i get to see my favourite pokemon of all time in a solo run

[@ironleegaming8227]

23 minutes at the elite 4: oh, we're almost done Only halfway there: well, shit

[@mimiccave]

30:20 Jolteon has 69 HP Jrose11: I'm at a NICE amount of health. Nice, I see what you did there.

[@noivernblast3366]

About the “why does Koga have psychic users in his gym”, I think it’s because his gym is made of invisible barriers and, in canon, I guess you could say that is created by the psychic types.

*offical l2 english*

[@Lotus_RT]

Jrose, the reason why the Dragonite was able to out-speed you despite the Paralysis at 38:38 is because it's another quirk of Gen 1. In Gen 1 only, using Agility used to be a solution for regaining the lost speed due to Paralysis. It doesn't remove the Paralysis itself, but it does bring your speed back up to normal level, and on top of that, it would still give you the innate +2 speed that Agility gives normally. In essence, it would be like the normal Paralysis speed drop doesn't even exist. The same thing is true with Swords Dance and the Burn status too; it would bring your attack back to normal, and then immediately double it.

[@jakemueller2231]

Dragonite outspeeding when paralyzed is because of the agility boost ignores the paralysis the speed drop

[@perfectcell5613]

wrong it brings it back up to normal L2 POKEMON

[@AsakuraDGowther]

I hope after finishing all this stuff you will go back to a starter trio, you're much better now and I think it's not fair to compare their runs to awesome runs you're doing right now. Good luck man, your content is great

Babe wake up, new Jrose11 vid is up

I was not expecting the Count impression on the Pin Missile. Well played.

!!! Eevee getting the spotlight again! Of course this excites me, I'm the Eevee guy (literally)! Can't wait to see the other two, although I don't think Jolteon will be being beaten..

[@erikchen9918]

Was really hoping for and excited to see this run as Jolteon was one of my favorite Pokémon from Gen 1 (and still is to this day) -- I remember as a kid thinking Jolteon's having Double Kick and Pin Missile and having great speed made it really good, which was especially true in Gen 1 for the crit chance. I thought Double Kick and Pin Missile would make an impact in the run, and it was cool to see they turned out to be the difference in the final battle. Love your content!!

[@jheal62]

Cant wait to see how fast Metapod can beat the game.

[@TheSpecialPsycho]

Can't hit Ghosts

[@mikeyes620]

Oh man. It only gets harden, string shot, tackle and struggle. That's only if you learn tackle and string shot before you evolve it btw.

[@derdeutschemitdempinguin4891]

5:32 i dont know if anyone already said that but the reason why the pikachu went first with the x-speed is the following: as you probably know the ai has to outspeed to use an item first and every ai trainer who has items has a chance to use them each turn (for healing items specific health requirements need to be met except for blaine). If they don't outspeed they'll use the item after your turn, however the speed check of the item use is effected by the priority of the move the pokemon would've used if they didn't use an item instead. So in this case pikachu would have used quick attack, thus going first but because an item was used he got priority on the x speed

[@DrivenArc]

Koga's only a Poison Gym because gym's had to have types. What he's actually meant to do is teach the player about how powerful statuses can be, and he lists his specific ones. Sleep, poison, confusion. His modus operandi is stalling and a death by a thousand cuts. And then end with Explosion if he's backed into a corner. Of course the AI isn't quite up to snuff, and teaching the player types led to the much more easily parsed gimmick of having each trainer be a specific type. They do this even worse with the Elite Four. Lorelei has that Slowbro for Disable, and she's meant to freeze you. In practice she almost never does and she just hits with Water/Ice power. Agatha is the closest to keeping to this trend, with Confuse Ray, Glare and Hypnosis in her wheelhouse. I was sort of hoping with better AI the Gen 3 remakes would do better with it. They kind of do, until they mess up in the postgame and just make everyone monotype. In game trainers are more interesting when they diverge from their one type a little to focus more on an aspect of the game. I wish they did it more like that.

[@BananaTheCorn]

Another cool vid. On Dragonite outspeeding you after using Agility while paralysed, I'm pretty sure that there's a bug in gen 1 (shocking I know) that if you use a speed-boosting move while paralysed, the game forgets to calculate your speed drop, so you effectively get rid of the speed drop and then get the Agility boost on top. The same thing happens to your attack if you boost it while burned. Might come in handy in a future vid.

[@chadwright8468]

"Pin missile"

[@ArunKrishnan0709]

Love that you’re just basically doing every Gen1 pokemon now

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

Funny thinking I have watched the Pokemon anime for years, kept up on several channels like this that do weird things with pokemon... Never played the game in my life cause I didn't own a Gameboy.

[@knuppel8875]

You could always download visualadvance emulator and some pokemon red/blue/gold/crystal roms. Takes like 5 minutes and winrar. Relive your never experienced childhood memories.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

@@knuppel8875 Lol funny thing is video's like this kind of make Pokemon a joke. How easy it is to beat the entire game with one pokemon, no items etc really points out how easy these games were if you had a proper team. I always wondered why the difficulty level of pokemon games seemed so low.

[@diddymelone2265]

I love that you give us videos so frequently these days, I was worried you had lost interest in the challenges. When life seems rough and the clouds are dark (and authorities are irresponsible, corvid, climate change, police violence ffs), there is no better way to start a day then asking the question, what Pokemon can breeze through gen 1 with more ease than any other. thanks man
