What are the LEAST amount of battles to beat Pokemon Gold/Silver

My theory is that since Koga is on the Elite 4 and Janine is his daughter, they wanted a master-aprentice story using the levels of their Pokémon. Problem is his team are on their 40's, so Janine has to be even lower to make Koga look good.

[@AzureKite]

Yeah I always saw that as Janine being a young, unexperienced gym leader that isn't quite there yet. That's why she's so weak, she needs to train up. Also I feel that Kanto was made weak on purpose since, by the time you reach it, you're already the League Champion, so they shouldn't be much of a challenge other than Blue, a former Champion who is at your level.

[@tonyredmond3136]

Yeah it wouldn’t really make sense if Janine was more powerful than her father who is an elite 4 member.

[@jordanthejq12]

It's a perfect illustration of why what makes narrative sense doesn't always align with what makes gameplay sense. Story-wise it checks out for you to steamroll Kanto...but gameplay-wise it's unsatisfying at best and actively anger-inducing at worst. Doubly so when Johto's level curve is already the flattest in the series and considering the pedestal they opted to place Red on. Even if you opt to take every single Trainer battle across both regions, you still have to either grind in Mt. Silver or just bite the bullet and face Red underleveled.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

It was so clever of you to beat those two Nerds in the Underground. Not only does it get your Spearow to the evolution point, it means you fight them now when their experience matters as opposed to much later when they'd just be a drop in the bucket.

[@JayHankEdLyon]

I did this challenge with Crystal and you actually CAN get one fewer battle (even in Gold/Silver)! In Rocket Tower, if you take the sneaky approach and take one battle, you aren't softlocked: make sure your main mon is the only one alive, and get it poisoned by the executive's Koffings and Weezings before defeating the team. Then just walk around while poisoned and get knocked out, bypassing the softlock and getting you 1 fewer fight!

Jrose you missed out on exactly why Fearow is so nutty for this in gen 2. Badge boosts have 2 effects in gen 2, the first one the gyms reference boosts a stat by 12.5%. The second is a move type boost, these exist in gen 2 but aren’t referenced. Each gym boosts an attack type by 12.5% corresponding to their gym type. This multiplier is calculated along side STAB making max power Return and Drill Peck 172 and 135 base power respectively.

It never made sense. Did Lance quit after losing to Red and Blue and decide to become a better Trainer? Then to return, beat all of the members (Bruno being the only remaining Original) and decide to stay as Champion? The other major bizarre thing is the Radio Tower replacing Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town. Did they really relocate all the dead Pokémon there to the smaller building just to make it a Radio Tower? So much for the paying respects part.

The mail quest at the end was a nice touch. I'm loving these videos!

[@darklordforte8731]

You know what kind of mail a lv. 75 Fearow delivers? Bills, court summons, and death notifications.

[@tomc.5704]

I would be interested in seeing the clips where Feraligatr and Kadabra struggle. Don't need a full video, unless you want to, but I will always enjoy seeing you try to solve the problems you're faced with. The process is just as interesting as the solution

[@lukegeer4864]

Missing this. Hope all is well! Thank you for all you do. Thank you for your content and thank you for being you.

[@Morelia300]

I love how the spirit of the run is something like minimizing Pokeviolence, but he repeatedly and callously sacrifices lesser Pokemon to advance Kenya. Just brutal. ... +1 and subscribed

[@BryceSchroeder]

Hahaha, actually delivering the mail at the end was awesome, I laughed out loud. I just imagine the reaction to the pokemon being evolved and 65 levels higher!

I found your channel one week ago and I‘ve already spent an unreal amount of time (I’m too ashamed to say how much XD) watching you play Gen 1 and 2... But I don‘t regret a single second!!!

[@abgamer784]

Leave it to jrose to give us background noise to sleep to. Props to you for doing these challenges and voicing them for 30+ min videos. Keep it up 👍

[@eufaileong4954]

The ending was really wholesome.

[@DanTheMeek]

Anyone else feel surprised and anxious for a second when Totodile evolves into croconaw, like some internal part of you has been trained by JRose's "Can x pokemon beat X" videos to feel like pokemon should never evolve? I'm actually curious if Jrose himself feels anyway, like a moment of nervous anxiety, after cancelling so many evolutions, or maybe even the opposite and its a feeling of pure bliss to finally allow something to evolve again? Anyway, another terrific video, thank you for continuing to make and share these Josh!

[@bugcatcher8989]

Jrose is the best. I absolutely love this channel! Jrose I really look forward to seeing all your runs in the future! It’s nice to know that there’s someone else who really appreciates these classics as much as myself. Sometime I hope to challenge you old school style with my link cable on Red/Blue!

[@drexelspivey872]

big fan of your channel, this is my favorite pokemon game and i recently got back into pokemon. Great vid jrose!

[@98802ohhey]

Always high quality videos, keep it up.

I used rage to beat the entirety of Pokémon Gold when I was younger.

[@NickTheGreatAndPowerful]

Sounds like a challenge run to me.

[@Pyxis10]

@@target1015 So a challenge run then? (See magikarp only)

[@MightoftheSunfamily]

Holy Jeez you absolutely had me with While and Zatoo. Thanks for another fab video!

[@neutralnarwhal8184]

Love the Count impression. That Fearow was also my MVP in my first Pokémon game :)

[@CMZneu]

I love it when unconventional pokemon end up being the better strategy, also ferrow in and of itself is pretty decent.

[@scaffo3265]

I was so caught off guard when totodile evolved! Seeing that in a video of yours is so rare!

[@lostalien8120]

I love to binge watch your vids. Keep it up please. I enjoy this content very much sir.

[@UndeadShard]

Jrose, I just wanted to let you know that I really love your channel. I thought I was subscribed for the longest time, I guess I wasn't, but I am now. I love that you have you kept the majority of your channel to gen 3 and below, which to me are some of the best pokemon games . You have continued to make new and interesting content for these old games, I don't feel like you are constantly blackmailing me into subbing or liking videos or anything, and while I have not watched every single one of your videos, the videos that have kept me interested in your channel are the softlocks, and weird videos like this. Typically, I dont watch the videos that are "Can I beat pokemon game A with only X pokemon." Theres nothing wrong with these videos or people who like them, I just tend to not be interested because I automatically assume the answer is yes and move on. Please keep making videos, you are a great youtuber, and watching your videos make me smile and laugh. I just wanted to give you some useful information and feedback. Thank you! Never change!

[@whynotdean8966]

I'm so happy you took Kenya to its destination at the end. Looking forward to a "Least number of moves used" run ;)

[@PresidentNathan]

I'm calling it, the reason he hasn't uploaded is because he's doing a weedle run

[@tonytang7550]

Huh, I thought it's because he's doing a SwSh Magikarp Run

Or caterpie

Maybe your best video. Never would have guessed you do that with Fearow, Keep up the great work bro!

[@SillyInsaneGamer]

Ken ya do it? Well damn, that fearow did! I played this game ever since I was 8, and I never even knew you could skip a trainer in the fourth game, that really blew my mind, I've done challenges in gen 2 for over a year and hated how I have to battle so many, but there's now more I can skip! This was an amazing run, I love how Fearow set out to do more than just delivering mail, awesome stuff man, keep it always up!
