Rules and Explanations
Rules: (1) Only use the one Pokémon in Battle, others for HMs are fine. (2) No Items in battle (3) No Glitches* (4) Set Mode (5) No saving in the Elite Four (6) No evasion moves
Badge Boost "Glitch" Explanation: When you collect odd numbered badges the game boosts a stat by 12.5%. Brock gives ATK, Surge DEF, Koga SPE, and Blaine SPC (in game text is wrong). When any of your stats are modified (even by you using a move like Withdraw, or your opponent using Leer) the badge boosts are re-applied. So If you use Swords Dance, you also gain *an additional 12.5% in Speed/Defence/Special (on top of the 12.5% you were supposed to be getting). When you level up, the game corrects this error, and only the non-glitch 12.5% remains. Because of how difficult it is to avoid, I've allowed for it to be exploited, since opponents will spam Leer/Growl anyways, and this way battles are less random. Red/Blue are extremely buggy, so there's always going to be some glitches present, and because of how unavoidable this one is, it is allowed in runs, and considered more like a special Generation 1 mechanic as opposed to a glitch. - เกม
Onix is going to be a breeze. A giant rock snake will just smash everything with its high attack. That's why elite four member Bruno uses them on his high powered team.
He had me in the first half I am not gonna lie.
That is funny Dan
onix is a nut. agreed
You know someone is gonna get woooosh'd
Then meowth spilled a bucket of water.
"The Bruno of gym leaders"
Ouch, that one hurts more than Surge's last demotion
He didn't even get a rank this time.
He's starting to wish that Pokemon never saved him in the war.
Cut deeper than a court martial
Demonition
As a kid, I remember getting so excited encountering onix thinking it would be extremely powerful but of course I didn’t understand stats at the time and was so confuse why it fainted so easily in battles
it also happened to me back then with the other mons, got disappointed by the boring lame moveset, like Tauros learning tail whip in lvl 28 lmao that sucks, or a lvl 26 Rhyhorn that only knows one move.
@@JP_Wu Too bad those are decent pokes though if you sink some time into them. Onix, though no.
I love how there was almost no middle ground with this run. Most fights were either a struggle or a total breeze. I guess that's what happens when you have two 4x weaknesses and not great stats.
That’s honestly how a lot of defense focused pokemon are I find. If you can wall something then it’s easy, but if you can’t, you don’t have a lot else to compensate usually.
Three 4x weaknesses. Ice.
@@jenningsslayer314 Ice is weak to rock, not the other way round. As rock doesn't resist ice, this makes it a 2x weakness.
@@noname-qj6qo Oh. My mistake.
This is what happens to Pokemon GameFreak fucking hates. (70% of Pokemon)
Onix has a shockingly clean back sprite
You're lucky when you can even identify a pokemon via back sprite in Gen 1 but yeah, it's surprisingly nice.
No fuckin way this man watches jrose too. Now this is epic
Definitely one of the better gen 1 back sprites.
I'll have to agree with you on that.
@@Picklejeans69 honestly might be the happiest surprise I've had all year
I'm very interested in this one. Onix is probably the worst case of a mon whose stats are waaaaay below expectations based in its design.
Bastiodon takes it for me
He has less attack than Pikachu and due to his low HP, hes not even all that bulky despite high defenses
@@ZzShy Even a better HP stat wouldn't save it thanks to no reliable recovery and a HORRENDOUS defensive typing
Plus 10 to HP to bastiodon with slack off would help a lot
I love onix and it makes me sad how bad it is
Problem with Onix is that it was designed as the first 'boss' Pokemon so it's stats reflect that. Speedy, low attack so it's faster than your starter but doesn't hit hard enough to do serious damage to it
"But I do have some bad news. In no way did i expect to make it this far, so I used all my rare candies, meaning i'm almost definitely gonna level up in the middle of this battle. which probably means I'm gonna lose but we don't know that" -JRose11
It was at that moment, I knew he was going to lose that battle
Already subbed, take the like, here's a bonus comment for the algorithm, and you're one of literally 2-3 people I actually ring the bell for. I don't like getting a ton of notifications, but your videos are always worth the notif. :)
I feel the same way that’s why I’m going through and interacting with a lot of the comments to help @Jrose11 “Comment Interactions” stat. I’m bout to Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V the **** out dis. That was my attempt at imitating cool people. JK JK I’m already cool.
and possibly stoned AF
🌿🌿🌿
I'm not even in the poketube and I make refferences to Jrose11.
I made a refutation to a whole podcast livestream by Aron Ra, and I styled it as a Jrose run.
do you still watch the vids (yearly check)
44:40 He's become so used to the badge boost glitch that he's started to come up with a logical explanation for it wow
I mean, I kinda thought the same thing. In an “anime bullshit” sense, it makes sense to get a very small all around stat boost from this sort of thing
Ah, splendid, another episode of my favourite series "can [pokemon] learn Body Slam in Red/Blue?"
Tbf I think I use it like 5 times max
Probably one of the best moves in gen 1
Yeah, I wish we got more generation variety. Gen 1 is getting stale.
@@bongosmcdongos4190 Doesnt make it entertaining.
@@warehouselead i don't think so. I like the ongoing optimisation
You have a really good talent for narrating and voice over.
Specfically: (1) Youre really good at capturing that intial excitement and surprise. It always feels super genuine.
(2) I've seen a lot of these videos and I'm never fully sure how a battle is going to go. Keeping me on my toes (and entertained!).
Comes across fake to me. And his voice is unpleasant.
@@robosuit oh that's such a shame! Sorry to hear my guy, he's so loveable imo. He reminds me of an elementary school kid who would lend you all the pokemon game he beats so you could try it too. But all grown up.
you nailed, i never thought i could watch play through of pokémon red/blue so much
I love Jrose and his videos but his excitement/disappointment can sometimes feel a little forced. I've been watching since the start and it just feels like at some point he started tacking on the ''let's go'' moments for increased viewer engagement. Which I understand, but it doesn't really feel genuine to me :P
@@robosuit splish splash your opinion is trash. Bum bum bumbum
You mentioned a lot of Pokemon start with Normal-type moves, so I got curious and wanted to see which ones don't, and in looking through them all I realized... Raichu is going to have to use Struggle against Brock. Its only attacking move is Thundershock. It won't have nearly the level of issue as Abra, but it'll have a harder time against Brock than Pikachu did.
I'm also interested in how Muk will go against Brock since it starts with Poison Gas, so Bide could be rendered a non-issue...
Eh, Raichu may have an easier time than Pikachu. Raichu at level 19, where Pikachu beat Brock, will be something like a 6-8 turn KO with Bind dealing 2 damage a hit. Raichu's base stats are just much better than Pikachu's. Bide is honestly the biggest hurdle.
I love Muk! He's a badass!
@@jameshasbeenjammin Did you know that Onix spelled backwards is Xine?
Poison Gas isn’t going to be very good against Brock, since poison only deals 1/16 damage and Brock has 5 full heals.
@@dysr You're right overall, but its even worse than that. Brock doesn't have 5 full heals... Brock has 5 full heals per pokemon.
Onix's BST was definitely designed around being a first-gym "boss", and not as a Pokemon you carry around and use.
Anyways, great content as usual, you definitely deserve at least 300k subs.
Thank god for Steelix...
It is still a great Little Cup Pokémon. Good thing that it got an evolution so it could be seen and played with Pokémon on its level.
@@tylerd1297 on that subject... Does Farfetch'd see any play in Little Cup now that Sirfetch'd is a thing?
@@priestesslucy3299 galarian farfetchd was good in little cup before dlc power creep. It has really good stats for little cup except it's speed
@@YOSSARIAN313 I still sometimes use it with scarf, it's nice at killing Grookeys
Mannnn the consistency with the uploads is insane
Whoever his editor is incredible. If jrose/the editor/both set up a patron I'd totally donate a couple bucks for support
@@vbph2011 he streams on twitch, you can probably sub or donate there!
The TH-camr we need but don't deserve
Holy shit it's so great
hardest working poketuber out there rn
13:05 The sprite does disappear in gen 1 if I remember correctly, but it seems like battle animations are disabled. Keep up the great work Jrose, love your content!
Fart
He knows the animations are disabled. He always does that, because the run is faster that way
His point was that in Gen 2 the Sprite always disappears (during moves like Dig or Fly), even with animations disabled. This is a nice feature, since it’s more visually obvious that your Pokémon is not vulnerable during that turn
@@Muhahahahaz ohh fair enough, thanks for the info
After watching a few of these, I definitely prefer ones in later generations due to more interesting strategies being implemented but my personal favorite thing about Gen 1 is just getting to see the badge boost in action.
I remember that when I first played Platinum fully (I couldn't figure out how to delete a Save File for a while), I remembered being terrified of Onix, since I couldn't one shot him with Mach Punch, Rock Smash, Ember, or Flame Wheel. As soon as I found and captured one in Oreburgh Mine, I thought I had the most powerful Pokemon... until Onix got taken out by a Beautifly with Absorb.
It be like that
Yeah, that type combination does not do it justice 😂
😂😂
Thats kinda adorable of you
@@KainaX122 hey, when all your friends say that Chimchar is the best starter, you would pick it thinking it would dominate most things. I mean I did beat Cynthia with a bunch of level 48-51 Pokemon... after three weeks of playing under the covers, restarting, and trying again, only because I didn't want to grind. Eventually I did beat her, after my level 48 Graveler blew up on her Garchomp.
I do agree Venasaur was the right pick for Onix's "hardest challenge". Blastoise has better defense but Venasaur has Razor Leaf, and Gyarados is a much more massive threat than Exeggutor.
Yep. Gyarados and Venusaur are better than Blastoise. Also, Blastoise isn't good until victory road
Blastoise also has a bad habit of just using Withdraw. Venusaur might use Solar Beam, but at least that'll attack on turn 2
Yeah Exeggutor has no way of harming Onix in the final battle. It's essentially a dead team slot there.
otoh venusaur is part poison so weak to ground
@@SomeUnsoberIdiot Grass resists ground so Venu is neutral.
Hey Jrose, I never leave TH-cam comments. I’ve been subscribed for about 2 years and this is maybe the first video I’ve heard you ask for a sub/like/comment/etc. I discovered your channel while finding something to fall asleep to but quickly turned into something I didn’t want to miss and wanted to watch! I know for awhile you took a break for yourself and I want to say you really have been doing an excellent job on these last few videos. More than one video a month is impressive and greatly appreciated!
Brother missed the last 5 videos in this playlist it seems
36:50
I think Dewgong is actually coded in a way that it always uses Rest on turn 2. I am not entirely sure but I remember a few speedrunners mentioning this in the past.
Onix is a weird one in Gen I - Nice speed, nice defense, but for a rock pokemon it has low attack and really low HP for whatever reason, especially considering his x4 weaknesses against 2 special types.
Basically certain ai prefer status moves. Especially "good" trainer ai. Rest is a weird status move cause it wouldnt make sense to use it turn 1. I think its like around 80% for her dewgong to go for rest turn 2 but i could be wrong
Dewgong is coded to do rest only on the second turn in Yellow to avoid a couple of softlocks involving it.
She has a 50% chance to use it on her second turn. Rest gets +1 priority on the second turn, and Aurora Beam always has +1 priority because it is super effective. (She won't use Rest if Dewgong is at full health, so Onix would have to damage in the first two turns)
36:03 "I don't know if I can count on that"
Surprisingly enough, you can. There is a group of NPCs with good AI that on the second turn will either boost its stats or heal, Lorelei is part of that group and she will have Dewgong use Rest on the second turn about 80% of the time.
I thought you knew that when I saw Dig alongside Earthquake on Onix's moveset before you deleted, because delaying the first turn with Fly or Dig and have Dewgong rest while my Pokémon sets up is a strategy I used in my Pidgeotto run.
I had no idea, need to study the AI more I guess. Thanks for letting me know!
Lorelei's Dewgong has a 50% chance of using Rest (who has always a Psychic move except in GO) on Turn 2 (should be Turn 1 but Gen I).
How the 80% Rest chance come from? Against Nidoking (pokemon used in RB Speedrun and has the WR) it has a 50% chance to use Rest any turn except the 2nd, where it's guaranteed to use Rest.
However, Dewgong WILL use Rest against a non-Ice weak Fighting and Poison Pkmn every turn, causing insanely long battles (and ended losing to Struggle recoil) against some Poison Pokemon.
To evade this situation, in Pokemon Yellow Lorelei's Dewgong's moves are considered neutral 40% of the time. For Nidoking (again the Pokemon for a speedrun, and is actually older than in RB because no Squirtle starter) Lorelei's Dewgong had a 30% chance to use Rest every turn (now it also has Bubble Beam) against it except in the 2nd where the chance is 80%. This AI is only done for her Dewgong and only in Yellow.
In Gen II, Top trainers had Great AI which is better than Good AI.
The trainers with Good AI had a similar modification than in Gen I with the following exceptions:
-If a Pokemon it's weak to one type and resist the other now the AI considers that move as neutral.
-For resistances and weakness, it only considers moves with doesn't have 0 Power.
-For immunities it totally dismiss the move unless there is no alternative...
There's a similar AI modification similar to RBY AI 2 modification... that doesn't include healing moves and it works in the 1st turn of battle (there's a bug with item usage that Gen II speedrunners abuse, specially against Red).
Also, in Gen II, there's a basic AI (shared by all trainers except Twins) that dismisses many situations where the move would be useless. And the Status AI modification also dismisses poisoning a Poison type and type inmunities (yep, the AI doesn't use Hypnosis on Darks and Sing on Ghosts even though they're AFFECTED).
@@farnan92 Like I said, I did a Pidgeotto run and I started to notice this, and I wondered about it and I remembered the Pokémon AI Tournament video said something about Lorelei's Dewgong's Rest being nerfed in Yellow, so I looked up Gen 1 AI and in pokemonspeedruns, it show me why it was happening.
Modifications 2 and 3 explained why this was happening, since Dewgong would have had no reason to use anything but Aurora Beam. I might have mistaken the 80% chance of Rest at the actual percentage it happens, but I battled the E4 lots of times, and I do mean lots and it using Rest on the second turn seemed to happen a hell of a lot more than 50%.
@@Jrose11 I know from Scott’s Thoughts channel (and even your own minimum battles run) that this is a thing in Yellow. I didn’t know it was also the case in Red/Blue.
I really wish they made Onix a whole lot stronger, but I have the feeling that Onix has 45 Attack due to being Brock's main Pokemon. If it had 120 Attack, I guess they thought it would probably be frigging impossible for new players to take it down. But that beautiful 4x weakness to both Grass and Water circumvents that, I'd say. I wouldn't be too surprised if that's why Rock Throw has an absolutely abysmal 60% accuracy too.
I think Onix is under appreciated for what it is; a physical wall that absolutely suffocates unevolved Pokémon, even good ones that do not have special Attacks. It's like a worse prequel to Skarmory and Steelix, you don't expect those to be that good offensively but they are miles better than Onix lol.
@@tylerd1297 Also worth adding that Onix is actually relatively strong in Gen 1 where most Pokemon have terrible move pools. A vast majority of Pokemon are going to be running at least 1 Normal type move. This doesn't make Onix good competitively of course, but I'll be damned if it isn't a great wall for a normal playthrough.
There's no good reason it doesn't have 60 base Atk though
Onix seems to have been designed exclusively to be a raidboss for the first gym in the series, having very high defense and speed and a normal resist to make it seem scary, pitiful attack to give the player time to take it down, and an exploitable typing to reward new players for engaging with the matchup system
Like a lot of things in gen 1 it was made to fill a role in the game and didn't have much consideration past that, such as whether the player would want to use it by the time they get it
Steelix made it a real Pokémon in the very next gen thankfully
@@wes2287 It's also surprisingly strong in Gen II as well for all the same reasons, as well as the fact that it dunks on every Rocket Trainer in the game and you get Dig TM in both Gen I and II super early.
It's interesting how the accuracy seems to play out. As a children, I found that using Thunder with my Jolteon basically never missed even though roughly one out of every 4 should, but in turn it seemed to miss damn near 100 percent of the time when using that move with Zapdos or any other Pokemon. Figured it was a trade off I was ok with tho, and just went with it.
Love your solo play through, mentioning the bbg makes me giggle, you’re open and honest about gen 1 quirks, love the content
On the topic of Rock/Ground types, I think a race between Golem and Rhydon would be kinda interesting to see.
Rhydon has higher Attack, starts with Horn Attack and Stomp (Golem just gets Tackle) and can get Ice Beam & Thunderbolt in addition to Fire Blast.
Golem just gets Fire Blast but its Special is a bit higher, but the main thing is Golem can badge boost and Rhydon can't - Golem starts with Defence Curl but Rhydon can't learn any stat raising moves other than Double Team. My money would be on Golem because Rhydon's better opening moves won't be that much better against Brock and they get Dig pretty early on anyway
That has allready been done.
@@mangosteak not by Jrose. We really don't care who else has done it. Literally all things have been done by someone in some place at sometime. Shoo fly, be gone
@@mangosteak Not this kind of versus.
@@Lokiip Jrose fanboy.
I'm just waiting for the kraby run man. Literally my favorite pokemon, I can't wait. I love this series, I've watched almost every episode over the course of a month.
Good taste in 'Mons.
Krabby seems like a pokemon you forget about, but then you think about it and go "damn thats an awesome pokemon!"
Krabby, the Pokemon with a higher Attack stat than Onix
Hey bud four months ago he dropped that video! Hope you didn't miss out. See you over there if you did find it!
I love how genuine all your videos are. Your commentary and battle analysis is catered to each and every Pokémon and their specific run and makes every video feel entirely unique. Awesome videos
I never get tired of these videos. I've watched everyone on release since the start! Keep it up bud, loving it.
jrose you probably won't see this, but thank you for your content. it really does make my day whenever i get a new vid from you, so thanks. you're awesome.
I saw it, and I think I'm alright. Probably better than Onix-tier.
@@Jrose11 The hysterical laugh you do when you get insanely good look is Mewtwo-tier and worth the subscription alone
@@Jrose11 Do Starmie next! It might finally dethrone Mewtwo.
@@dawnsbuneary yeah right
@@eskimocheese low key could it’s coverage + psychic type is incredible
Can we all agree this guy is the king of Gen 1 pokemon speedruns? Ain’t nobody else this consistent and this good with their content
I love jrose and think he's amazing, but Scott's Thoughts has REALLY been stepping up his quality and consistency recently. His overlay pulls real-time stat data directly from his ROM now, and he does multiple runs per mon to get optimal consistency on strats.
Not trying to compare the 2, just saying that if you like jrose, Scott's Thoughts is definitely worth giving a look for a bit of a different approach on the same subject matter. He's not just an imitator, he's found a lil niche of his own.
Listen to Franz, Scott’s Thoughts is definitely worth your time.
@@FranzPerez21 I’d love to check him out tbh. I meant no disrespect to other Pokémon content creators, just saying I like Jrose’s format for videos and consistency with the series. I’ll def check him out though. Thanks for the recommendation!
Scott's thoughts is a good channel too
Luckily, they fill far different niches. Scott’s Thoughts is luckily not a competitor to JRose, so there is no reason to compare both except in how they do so.
By which I mean Scott does his stuff far more systematically than JRose, but there is a fun in just doing it casually too.
Honestly, I love the goofy humour you bring. It's cheesy and sometimes dumb, and it's perfect. So glad you seem to be doing okay. I get so excited every time you upload. Take care!
After so many of these challenges I thought I would’ve lost interest eventually but to my surprise I still look forward to every one of these uploads. Keep up the good work and keep reminding people to sub, there is no shame in playing the TH-cam game.
These videos mean so much to me man. It's weird, I only just started watching them about 6 months ago but these Gen1 Runs are such a relaxing, anti-anxiety chill time for me. Maybe it's the Canadian accent (I left Canada 10 years ago) and Gen 1 nostalgia, but dang man. Thanks so much, keep it up please!
feel the same about it
I have put on jrose's vids to help me sleep for 2-3 years now, it works wonders.
Love the amount of videos recently Jrose, keep em coming can't get enough of these challenges and the mix of later generation games is a plus. Thank you sir 🙏
facts
Yeah, SimplyAJ editing the videos so Jrose no longer has to has been a boon for the amount of content lately! So glad these two teamed up!
@@AvsJoe indeed, and from what everyone else is saying in the comments this is going to be a great pairing and do nothing but great things for the channel looking forward to more of this.
These come out when I need them the most. I had been rewatching some older runs lately. It's always so fun. Thanks, Jrose.
Another fantastic run from my favourite TH-camr! I really thought Onix would be better but on the other hand it makes sense how the early game gave it a hard time. I think it’s safe to say you’ve perfected your craft when it comes to Gen 1. Excellent choice and as always I can’t wait for the next one!
Love the honest ask for subs. As someone who’s been subbed for a couple years, I hope it helps! You deserve to climb the algorithm.
The more I look at the three Rock and Ground type lines, the more apparent it is that Onix is just horrible. Higher defense doesn’t mean much when you have bad HP, and it’s special is as bad as Geodude and Ryhorn, but at least those two can evolve. All you’re left with is better speed, which you can’t really capitalize on. Poor Onix.
Bind might be the only redeeming thing about it in these early games... Kinda need to move first to abuse it, so speed isn't entirely wasted.
@@mysticmallachi777 Very true, Bind has its uses early game. But in a playthrough you don’t get Onix until Rock Tunnel so it isn’t useful from then on.
It can fissure, a ground type that can fissure
Always makes me feel relaxed and happy, like getting to hang out with a longtime childhood friend, when I see a new video released by you.
All my friends moved away after I graduated and am stuck home recovering from an injury before moving out for work myself.
Always appreciate your videos.
Thank you
I'm really happy that Jrose had been uploading more frequently. Your videos are top quality, I never get tired of watching them. Keep up the great work
i can't believe how well most of this run went, considering how onix has literally 40 base atk plus a huge weakness to any special move. i guess great stab moves plus good speed really carried here
“I decided to teach Fissure to see how much damage I would do to Slowbro”
Well…I’d assume it would do all of the damage :v
Well not if it misses xD
it was so weird to hear you doing the youtuber thing, because honestly, i'd never heard you do it before! but you do deserve every ounce of success you get from these videos because the amount of time and effort you put into making these first playthroughs feel very cinematic shows. it's always so nice to see when you've uploaded, because i know i'm honestly going to enjoy the content you put out. cheers, man!
Makes my day when there's a new Jrose video! Love your content man, your commentary and analysis are top tier.
God bless you Jrose. Seriously the pinnacle of Poketubers. You are such an awesome guy. Keep up the good work and I'd sub twice if I could :)
Yeah I've got an exploit we can use to give him a bunch of watch time but that's about it...
I’m subbed on both my google accounts I think.. and if I’m not I will be correcting that mistake
I’m subbed on my iPad and my PS4. Different google accounts
He has earned every sub he has and far more.
I agree. He gives me a new perspective on each Pokémon he covers. I now see the true potential in all those (including you, Sunkern) and will be excited for that potential should I get my hands on said Pokémon. i.e., it'll help me make fun and good teams aside from what I'm used to using.
Been watching a long time . Glad to see you’re keeping up with the series lol
Im suprised that one of the most influental red and blue challenge run pokemon hasnt been done sooner but it finally came
i love the commentary. it makes it easy and fun to listen to your videos without having to watch all the time.
oh boy onix, this must've been super fun
Do a review of this run on your channel please
Oh hey, it's the Nathaniel Bandy who inspired the pfp of BiNathanielBandyPFPGuy
Bet you were getting flashbacks from your own run of Onix :)
It's NB! I haven't heard from him in a long time
Dude, i absolutely adore your content. I love how much you go into detail in your videos about the gameplay and how real your emotions feel, makes it feel not scripted. You're the only person who manages to make me watch an entire 1 hour video at once. I've been watching your content for 2 years and i hope you keep entertaining us with your videos.
Yeah i agree. The fact that he doesnt have a monotone or overly expressive voice means i can passive watch. Like i can watch him at night without being overwhelmed or put to sleep. He's like the perfect amount if expressive.
Great job and great narraration as well, your commentary is so good I don't have to watch the screen to know what's happening! That's talent
holy crap I've been watching you for like a year now at least, and wasnt subbed til now! thanks for bringing the pleasure (and pain), these runs are a lot of fun!
Rock Gyarados deserves so much better. It has decent speed and great defenses, but the shallow move pool (which isn't a surprise for gen 1) and it's less than stellar attack stat drags it down.
Yeah, Onix having had nearly half its base stat total (160/340 in gen 1) in one stat really left it with no stats to work with otherwise, hence the abysmal attack and HP.
You can always tell the run is going to be rough if the video is longer than 30 minutes
Love the videos Jrose, it's such a nice throwback for me watching you consistently break the game from my childhood. Please consider doing a Starmie run as I feel like it could rival the top Pokémon on your list!
That your commentary stays so enthusiastic is such an achievement and the only reason people can watch this many vids of the same game.
For me at least, it’s become sort of a security blanket. I’m at a low point in my life mentally. The consistency and predictability of these runs takes me to a happy place where I can forget my issues.
Onix speed with Brock: startling, scary
Onix speed in solo run: oh.
this gives me memories of when i tried my first ever solo run with the traded onix in crystal, lots of fun, thank you for uploading this one
I appreciate the touch of the themed color palettes in these runs
When I saw that you skipped the trainers in Blaine's gym, I thought "oh boy, that was a mistake. Jrose is gonna need every exp point possible to beat Lorelei"
man the onix cloyster battle was WILD, I heard something came out of it.
The first Togepi came out of it through Pokemon magic.
"Wait, I don't remember having this egg in my party"
I find it absolutely hilarious that Onix and Wurmple have the same base attack stat (45)
Well they are both chunky ch
thats really sad... u telling me a little worm = a big rock snake... onix doesnt rock at all lol
They're both worms. Makes sense.
I love how regularly you upload videos, Jrose! Keep up the great work :)!
You're coming out with videos faster than I keep up with them, its amazing. I love it all.
I've been binging some of your older videos in the series and I must say the improvement in quality in the newer uploads is astounding. Keep up the good work!
Thanks to your call-to-action, I actually remembered to like *and* subscribe. It works!
I was planning on going to sleep early, but I can never resist your videos! Keep up the great work, can't wait to see what you do next! Im looking forward to Koffing and Starmie, I think they'll be interesting.
Jrose, keep up the content. I always enjoy your content. Your narration is what carries it and diversifies the runs from others.
I see this run is off to a... rocky start.
I'll see myself out.
Remember Rocky the Onix from Gen 2?
Holy shit the wait is over! Finally Brunos favorite mon is getting the spotlight
I love the probability calculations. You should do that more often in the future. Keep up the great work! Love the vids
I’ve to see you trucking through these challenges. The sheer dedication of replaying these games over and over.
BTW Jrose, would love to see more gen 3 runs, also Personally I'd love to see a behind the scenes video about what goes into making these videos. Love the content and keep it up:)
I thought the “Lud” and “QT” names were a good addition lol. Great run as always Jrose
Your videos are the absolute best. My day is never better than when a new jrose video comes out. Love the content man
love your content Jrose, your consistency has gotten me through the summer
Guys, jrose is the best pokemon challenge runner out there. the tutorial style and the get energy is so captivating. I can't believe how many times ive watched this guy play the same game at this point
Maybe pick up a book sometime?
Honestly - keep up the ‘like and subscribe’ reminders - I’ve watched a ton of your videos and keep forgetting to subscribe because they just pop up as suggested videos. Finally subscribed today…mostly because of the puns 😜
I feel the same way that’s why I’m going through and interacting with a lot of the comments to help @Jrose11 “Comment Interactions” stat. I’m bout to Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V the **** out dis. That was my attempt at imitating cool people. JK JK I’m already cool.
and possibly stoned AF

I love these videos, Always excited to see what's next! Your thorough knowledge of these games is awesome!
i've watched a few of your runs and this is the most amazing and fun by far imo
1: I love your content. 2: The regular uploads LITERALLY make my day. 3: If you scale back, that's fine, I still love you and am proud of you...son? This comment got away from me.
1:23 Just subbed because you asked me to lol... I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, and I always watch your content while "working" and time flies by. So you totally deserve every sub you get. Sorry for taking this long hehe, sometimes it is good to be reminded.
I wish I thought of it earlier but since the start of this series I thought it would be awesome to transfer every pokemon to a transfer pak after each run and then do stadium runs (maybe making a party out of each tier). Everybody has their favorite pokemon and there's been a lot of surprising runs as well. I think it would've been an awesome way for everybody to cheer on their favorites from the series one last time. Either way, always love the content!
Favourite videos to watch while doing stuff! I find myself a connoisseur of Gen1 pokemon. Looking forward to Starmie. I really feel it'll crush with water gun starting move and strong TMs
Hey Jrose! Love the content. You should totally do Silver/Gold with Steelix after this one!
Onix got gen 1ed since it was the boss pokemon of the first gym I am pretty sure it was heavy nerfed for it otherwise I think it would of been given a base stat total closer to something like gyrados.
That Hydro Pump miss from Lance was a real clutch victory.

I really appreciate that you've been uploading a lot more! Thank you
So you're playing as Lud, and your Rival is QT, and you are playing hide the rock snake?
Okay Jrose, I see you.
I always knew Onix beat Lorelei's Jynx
I think a quick claw would help
So excited to see how great Snorlax does. Always love the vids JRose.
I liked and subbed cos of the begging near the start. Have watched a good number of your vids and didn’t realised I hadn’t subbed yet.
Just wanna say your content is great and fun.
What an Onix-pected surprise at one point I thought onix was a legendary just because how cool he was
18:23 Funny enough, even at lv 23, Rival 4's Gyarados actually does know Hydro Pump.
Because it starts with Hydro Pump at level 1. If I'm not mistaken, the game won't consider the pre-evolutions. It was not a Magikarp which evolved, it has always been a Gyarados. For this reason, the Champ's Exeggutor knows only Barrage, Stomp and Hypnosis, although the Rival 6's Exeggcute knows also Solar Beam
@@matteorenzulli1070 yeah you're right. It would make sense that itd have Hydro at an early level, forgot it at some point during the level up learnset, and relearned it later on.
I'm really a huge fan of how you've elected to deal with commentary w.r.t. the badge boost glitch, very nicely done
Subbed. Honestly just forgot to as I chain watched all of you content. Keep it up man, love your stuff!
Grayscale how perfect! Love it as always :D
The Ludwig reference is noticed and APPRECIATED, hahaha!
Hey been watching your content for a long time am subscribed and I'm glad your making these videos the quality of your videos are amazing and I hope you keep up the good work.
Love your videos, checking TH-cam and seeing a new one for the evening to watch is always great!
I found a small mistake - in tier list (and your voice over) Onix finished with level 74. But in the Hall of Fame it was level 76.
