[@jeffmatrachisia3827]

ChaosN that’s what I always say but people try to argue with me. Speed isn’t literally speed, it’s better described as... reflexes? Reaction time? A high speed stat doesn’t always translate to fast, it translate better to agile. Otherwise, yeah, the speed stat is completely inconsistent with how fast each Pokemon supposedly is.

i think that bellsprout would be interesting. you have bulbasaur 2.0 but also can go other routes and maybe do some interesting cheese with wrap instead.

[@N12015]

Not having body slam will hurt, but level 1 calm mind and vine whip, as well as level 18 sleep powder and level 13 Wobblin... I mean Wrap. I have a serious existencial question: Is Bellsprout better, as good as, or worse than Bulbasaur? Because ultimately a tier list are decided in how stuck a pokemon can be in the adventure.

[@AzureKite]

Dude I'm doing a monotype grass run in Blue, Victreebell is the goddamn MVP. The combination of Toxic and Wrap is so broken. I'm sure Bellsprout is gonna be good, maybe the early game will be a bit rough but by the late game nothing can stop it... once it has enough levels under it. I think it'll be in the same tier as Bulbasaur, maybe better, but we'll see. Excited to see that one.

[@nihildwo4874]

@@N12015 exactly my thoughts. my prediction is that bellsprout is at worst bulbasaur tier but potentially better, but i could be completely wrong and bodyslam turns out to be more valuable than wrap due to safe accurancy and instant power. maybe having lower def and a little less speed will outweigh the higher special so bellsprout will need a bit more levels over bulbasaur. maybe the bulbasaur strategy isn t optimal. i mean you could try toxic + wrap or even go swords dance. i mean jrose was originally wrong about pikachu. on a side note - if he decides to do this it would be a nice easteregg to name the character kaoroku or jeanette after the girl from indigo plateau with the bellsprout.

[@OmegaTyrant]

@@N12015 Bellsprout just outclasses Bulbasaur; it has all the caveats Bulbasaur has but even higher Special, very good Attack for an unevolved to mix attack well, access to Swords Dance, and Wrap, all in exchange for just slightly less physical durability and marginally less Speed (40 base Speed instead of 45 won't make much of a difference). Bellsprout should be a top tier contender and possible candidate for minimum battles.

[@N12015]

@@OmegaTyrant Say that to the bug catchers. He'll have more problems in early game because almost everything resists grass at the beggining, and he'll have issues with ghosts, but so has bulbasaur. I'm curious about how good Wobbling/Wrap will be over body slam because that's the main difference (Higher attack is not that relevant without a reliable physical attack, and the other stats are almost equal), and if the IC move is overrated or well rated in RBY. Will it be Poliwag tier, Bulbasaur tier or Charmander tier? Only time will tell that, but i'm sure that he'll not be worse than charmander.

I started a Rattata run. So far he’s doing really well. I beat brock at level 14, right after learning Hyper Fang, and Rattata also has access to great moves such as Thunderbolt and Dig. I feel like if you want to do an easy run, Rattata is a good way to go.

[@OmegaTyrant]

With Rattata's abysmal 25 Special, Thunderbolt isn't going to be that useful on it. Its Normal STAB will definitely outdamage it against everything weak to Tbolt except for maybe Cloyster and Gyarados, and even against them I would be surprised if Tbolt did more. Same goes for the rest of its surprising Special movepool. Big problem though is a lack of any boosting and status moves on top of being so frail, at the end it probably won't be that much better than Pidgey.

[@lizzerd5112]

@@OmegaTyrant You have a point. What I was planning on doing was teaching it dig. Hyper Fang and Dig would carry me through the game, with Thunderbolt helping out against Gyrados and Charizard.

[@OmegaTyrant]

@@lizzerd5112 Body Slam would be better than Hyper Fang, it has 5 more power and full accuracy, and that 30% paralysis chance would be better than the 10% flinch chance. And either of those moves will definitely hurt Zard more than Tbolt would. Can be worth trying against Gyarados if you have the moveslot open, but in Lance's battle you'll probably want to try Mimicking Hyper Beam off it, which with STAB is going to be extremely powerful for Rattata. One special move that would be useful is Bubblebeam against the Rock/Ground types, as their equally bad Special and huge Defense will have that outdamage Dig, but they're usually not much of a threat for that to matter much.

Alright, more awesome content! That Poochyena run is still on my mind, but still, great job!

[@StalenStefan]

Will you pick up catch em all again? I really loved that series. I'm kinda doing one myself, I'm trying to get all Pokémon that I can get with one save of alpha sapphire.

[@Jrose11]

Eventually. These runs keep me busy, but I've been working on B/W.

[@StalenStefan]

@@Jrose11 amazing, really looking forward to it. Also, good luck. I've been working on as for a very long time Edit: I really like this series as well, don't take me wrong :)

[@ckillgore]

@@Jrose11 Can't wait for the day when you try to catch em all in Pokemon Home. Hopefully it isn't years from now.

[@Carwinley]

Oh hey, Canadians pronounce Lieutenant the English way, too? Love it!

[@clogmonkey]

loving the videos dude! 200K subs LET'S GO !!!

[@mikebrown1881]

In french Lutenend Serge is called "Major Bob".

[@wumbology72]

Magnemite run when? Want to see you suffer through all the normally easy fights like Giovanni

[@hatepineapples]

People: Ugh, why'd you have to wake me up at 2am in the morning... Me: AEST TIME BOIIIIIIIIIIS

What accent is that? It’s lovely.

Love these videos! Would like to see a solo Magmar run in the future.

[@PlayDANMAKU]

I was trying to make one right now when you posted it lol Great video by the way

[@jonnymallett4391]

Can you play through with nidoranM because it's my favourite evolution line from gen 1 that you haven't done yet

[@Mariokemon]

Im canadian, and I have NEVER heard of "LEFT-tendent"

[@ryapowa]

As an American, I can confirm that my fellow Americans will always side with the French over the British (See: February/March 1778)

[@Cream147player]

Well, the lef-tenant pronunciation of lieutenant is the one your military uses so now you know.

[@MatthewRichardson1]

The British pronunciation is old French so I'm not too sure on the French fact

[@Fig_Bender]

I'm canadian aswell, I've heard it many times. I'm guessing you just dont have family in the military.

[@shadowrose8907]

I may be American, but I'd never heard the "leftenant" pronunciation outside the Horatio Hornblower movies (great series, btw; I recommend); as a side note, KZbin's spell checker is perfectly okay with "leftenant"

[@jesse96]

loving the series dude

[@hkossover]

these are all i look forward to, thank you

[@TaborlinTheGreat]

İs the title a reference to False Swipe Gaming? To be honest I was expecting something like what AuraGuardian did with that Unown video...

[@connorschultz380]

Probably a reference to comments thinking he'd be better then gastly

[@BuisGamesESP]

The translation from french wouldn't be "left tenant", it'd be smth like "location tenant" lol

[@bridgeseller7004]

When he said Leftenant, I first thought "oh, nice, it's because he was Left behind in the run"

[@KnufWons]

@BuisGamesESP What he means is that non-American accents interpret “Lieutenant” as “Leftenant” for entirely unknown reasons

[@ninjacell2999]

@@KnufWons you mean American accents interpret Lieutenant as "Lootenant" for some unknown reason

[@jeffmatrachisia3827]

NinjaCell please take a look at the word Lieutenant and tell me where the f you’re getting an f sound in there. :)

[@KnufWons]

NinjaCell In lieu of an argument I provide a counterexample to your “correct pronunciation” theory

[@dylanl3942]

I'm loving the videos!

Yo Poliwrath is scykoh's favorite pokemon, he needs to see this

[@puffmattybear6171]

This dude went through MT moon AFTER misty, what a legend!

[@MaraudingManiac]

Liked because of Star Trek

[@mikydue2788]

great, now you should do a poliwrath run for the full evolved category :D

[@vaporeon344]

I really like the video! However, I would love to see another epic basic Pokémon next! I think that Vulpix would be a wonderful Pokémon to see in series!

[@theannilators7479]

I feel like poliwag would be in A+ since it did do minimum battles

[@whynotdean8966]

I like the "leftenant" pronunciation, just because they use it in Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@phoebe5114]

Screw a bedtime, time for some 5am Jrose. Love this series and hyped for season two already!! Thanks so much for your work, Jrose! Hoping you and yours are well!

[@Jrose11]

Season Two is always better than Season One... except The 100, or The Good Wife, or Heroes...
