Jrose 11 is one of those really nice "routine" youtube channels imo The vids are a bit repetitive by virtue of around 90% of them being about Gen 1 Solo Runs, you watch enough of them you get a general feel for which bits are going to be mentioned outside of those moments where some random fourth-grader on route 15 ends up being the god of all pokemon for some reason You go in knowing the Elite 4 is gonna be half the runtime, there are some recurring jokes you can safely assume will show up, this isn't the kind of content you go to if you're trying to shake things up But like... that's why I keep watching, sometimes I just feel like listening to Jrose talk for a few hours and he makes the videos fun to listen to The runs themselves are interesting, yeah, and there are plenty of moments that catch my attention, but like... it's kind of just nice that this exists

[@LordPhilipJFry]

The reason that Sabrina's Alakazam is locked into Recover against other Psychic types but the rival's isn't is because Sabrina's Alakazam knows Psywave. It's common knowledge that the programmers mistakenly made the AI always use super effective moves even if they don't do damage, but when it comes to not very effective moves, the programmers actually got it right: the AI will only avoid not very effective moves if the Pokemon knows an "acceptable" alternative move. Attacks that don't deal damage are usually not considered acceptable, and so the rival's Alakazam, which knows three Psychic moves and Recover, can use any move. Because Psywave ignores type effectiveness, however, it is always considered an acceptable alternative move. Therefore, because Sabrina's Alakazam knows an acceptable alternative move, it will avoid using not very effective moves. But Psywave itself is a Psychic move, and so the AI sees it as not very effective and will avoid using it. Thus, Sabrina's AI is locked into Recover.

[@UserShadow7989]

Sabrina's Alakazam spammed recover because it has "good" ai, and its other three moves are psychic and thus not very effective. Or at least, I think that's the case.

[@Val664]

Rival has good AI too but uses psychic moves nonetheless, despite being able to spam Recover.

[@EvilApple567]

The Rival's Zam has the same setup of 3 psychic moves + recover but doesn't spam it, which is why he singled Sabrina's out. The good ai move effectiveness logic probably only spams non damage moves on super effective types (like Lance's dragons against fighting/poisons). If I had to guess why only her Zam spams recover it would be partly from move ineffectiveness, but also due to it being her last Mon using some survivalist strat (even to no end) since the rival never uses Zam last.

[@dankirpan404]

Sabrina's good AI is part of the reason, but it is not all. Good AI only discourages not very effective moves if the Mon also knows an offensive move which is either normally effective or uses an unusual damage calculation. Only Sabrina's Alakazam (not the Rivals) knows Psywave and since it is a move with an unusual damage calculation Psywave can discourage the use of itself (and Psychic/Barrier), leaving Sabrina's Alakazam in the unique position to discourage all her offensive moves against a Psychic type.

[@QweaklyForgotten]

As you've said yourself, Barrier would have helped a lot against Lance, but I think it would have actually helped in other tough fights. Most important is the Champion as the biggest obstacle turned to be Exeguttor, but only because his physical attacks did okay damage while it survived a long time (and the leer). While with Barrier, it would have been easy to set up against Pidgeot or even Rhydon, and then the only obstacle would have just taken long to KO, but would not be a threat Another battle where it would have helped is surprisingly Misty, because you could have set up against Staryu and then have the attack badge boost from Brock significantly power up Mega punch. The battle would still have not been free, but reasonnably easy even without Light screen

[@chaoslordmissingno]

I'm wondering if mimicing barrier on alakazam would have been better. You wouldn't have staying power but the damage from exeggcutor would have been reduced.

[@justinmadrid8712]

On the gen 1 vs gen 3 comment, I totally agree. To me the fun of the solo runs is seeing how you solve the "puzzle" of how to beat the game. Anyone else who wants to try could probably find a few more efficiencies here or there but generally there is a solution to the puzzle that anyone could play along and duplicate. Once you get to gen 3, it is no longer "how to beat the game with *A* [insert Pokemon]" it's "how to beat that game with *this* [insert Pokemon]." While I think for the player that would add variety and challenge as a viewer it makes the solution to the puzzle less interesting because I would probably never face that exact puzzle without a bunch of resets.

Always a good day when you get a Jrose video. Mr. Mine did really good. It has a pretty unique movepool for a Gen 1 Psychic type that makes it different from the others. Seismic Toss (if you fight the trainers in a certain order, they move out of the way to let you get it without using Cut) would've made Misty a bit easier I think, as it'd be a clean 3HKO on Starmie, but otherwise not many improvements to make.

I remember in previous video where Jrose said it wasn't a speedrun because there is no rounting planned and decision are made on the fly. But well, while there is definitively a layer of improvisation, by this point it's safe to say there are general routings, having a (sometime wrong) intuition of what battle order and ressource gathering he should go for depending on the pokemon and feedback. (not meaning sometime Jrose don't made mistakes ) In a way....isn't kinda like a roguelike speedrun (beside set seeds) ? in a roguelike you can never be sure of how the run would go and thus movements are rarely ever done the most optimal way possible, but with experience you surely know what are some of the msot efficient choices and wich decision you should take.... here's it's the ""main weapon"" that got "randomized".

Jrose, how about this for a red/blue run idea. You can only use pokemon in battle that are traded in game after entering Vermillion city.
