Seriously, though, Koga entering the Elite 4, and Bruno being the only one to remain in the next generation. Those must be intentionally disappointing, right?
@Deborah Ajao In battles, it goes back into previous menu options, so the joke is that pressing B wouldn't cause the pokemon to attack because you'd keep going back in the menus until you reach the first one
@Seven V Wow, what an astute reply. A true genius. Good job, Watson. May the world bless you with a million Reddit upvotes and golds. God, I hate people like you.
It occurs to me that Gary is a Pokemon genius in this run. Think about it. He painstakingly raised a team of six Pokemon, swapping some members of his team out, before his rival could blitz through Kanto with an overpowered psychic pokemon.
I like how prof Oak is like: Oak: here is your poxedex, good luck boy! ... 2 hours later ... Oak: congrats, you beat the pokemon league, you truly are the pokemom master!
Gary: "This isn't fair!" Me: "Realizing that you lost to a Legendary, and it was about 15 levels under your Pokémon, you might, and I stress, MIGHT have a point."
Only in the sense of the elite four with no rare candies and minimum battles he still went through the regular season completely unbeaten And with the quickest time
Brock: Hah! I bet that kid has a Pikachu, which my ground/rock type Pokemon counter *Pulls out a MewTwo* Brock: I should stick to eating jelly doughnuts
@@TixSlothCaterpie isn't possible in Gen 1 because Normal moves can't get past the Ghosts. In theory, you could briefly use a different Pokemon for the Ghosts, but a Caterpie can't solo the whole game in Gen 1.
Just wanna note that against Misty's Starmie, Psychic does more damage than Swift. Regardless of the resist. Psychic with STAB does 67.5 to a x0.5 resist. While Swift does 60 with a neutral hit.
@@cursedcat6467 on the contrary, Mewtwo has by far more special than attack. Psychic does 20ish damage min. And swift does 18 max on a standard calc. Psychic always does more.
You have a *chance* to do more damage, you also have about a 10% chance to just do the same amount or less damage, so you're looking at a 4 or 6HKO, and that doesn't change using swift, whereas Misty has a 90% chance to 3HKO you if she rolls bubble beam 3 times, faster than you can 4HKO if you use Psychic and she hits you first because she has 15 more speed than you do. So using swift you're guaranteed the hit, and you're almost guaranteed to win the fight as long as she doesn't crit you in 3. Your chances do reduce if you use psychic because you can't "do more damage" if she 3HKO's you with bubble beam.
@@YodaWasSith "[...]So using swift you're guaranteed the first hit[...]" Except that Swift doesn't give priotity. All it does is give a guaranteed hit.
30:10 When Gyarados used leer you got your special increased due to the badge boost glitch so you probably would've been fine against the Charizard regardless of the crit
My guess it has to be Caterpie, Weedle, or Magikarp as those are the 3 most torturous runs I can think of. I wonder how difficult the Zubat Challenge will be? I'm looking forward to the eventual Oddish, Bellsprout, Dratini, Meowth, Slowpoke, & Machop challenges whenever those happen. Same for the Youngster Joey Challenge which is Rattata!
@@WaterKirby1994 But Magikarp would end in Pokemon Tower unless he uses the NYC Pokémon center event Magikarp which knows Bubble. So that run would at least end rather quickly. Caterpie also doesn't get any non-normal type moves. Weedle might be.
@@WaterKirby1994 I don't think he's doing Magikarp. he's already done Magikarp (years ago) and it's impossible because it has no possible moves to hit the ghosts by the channelers in the tower. For this reason I don't think he will do caterpie. He has done a follow-up with Magikarp in FR because struggle is typeless, and so can hit the ghosts. Hardest is prolly weedle coz poison sting, which... holy shit every battle will be horrible, and won't even have STAB with struggle (and way too much pp for struggle to be desirable).
I wonder how much more difficult it would be in the remakes with the crit nerf and division of special. Probably still a cakewalk, but it'd be interesting.
Jrose's "A Button Strats" directly inspired me to do an "A Button Only" run of Pokemon Green and yeah, it's actually possible. When will the B button be buffed?
leedsunited8787 - Look, I personally don’t like MahDryBread, either, but we gotta stop with the comparisons. It’s unnecessary and can get start becoming toxic really quickly.
the funny thing is, is that a lot of people do this unironically. I'll never forget "can you beat Emerald with just a Deoxys?". Like... If you can beat it with a Feebas, you can beat it with a legendary lol
I played this game on release day at 7 years old. I'm still learning new things on how buggy it is. Never new about fire and ice resistance in gen 1 and how the display message for super effective will display when it is against one type of a dual type Pokemon.
Would really like to see this run perfected, using the rare candies, and knowing which moves to use on elite 4 ahead of time. You could get through the whole game without loosing, minimal battles, super fast. Good stuff.
The best consistency that I found was to not do exactly minimum battles. You need to battle some extra trainers, just to get a little more ahead with XP, as well as the TM for Body Slam onboard the SS Anne. Considering that it is a much better move compared to Swift, it will indeed make some battles easier. Also, using some Rare Candies when you are on Cinnabar Island, as well as before entering Victory Road will ensure that you completely skip wild encounters. Level 48 will guarantee no encounters. If you do everything right, you should finish the game at level 53, with a very good time (sub 3 hours)
Ice is a pretty crappy type defensively, but it's supereffective against so many types. In gen 1, Ice type definitely isn't as trash as it would become later.
@@cubedmelons876 Yeah, and in particular, in gen 1, it’s the only non-dragon type that is super effective against dragon, and it’s only resisted by itself and water.
@@cubedmelons876 all of ice types weaknesses can be a type combination. That being said, there are 6 type combinations that are very weak against ice type. (And they all exist)
I've slowly been improving this Mewtwo run over the last week, i'm down to 1hour59min with the Jrose11 rules. I have no idea how much i can still save, but i will try to save a couple more minutes.
Mewtwo with thunderbolt, icebeam, psychic and recover was invencible in gen1. I remember soloing pokemon stadium easily with this pokemon back in the day.
The fun fact is that were this a TAS hitting B WOULD do something, since you can manipulate certain elements of the RNG (for instance, which wild Pokémon will appear next or whether a move will hit/crit/do additional effects) by stringing together certain inputs.
I think the reason Bruno has onix is that the elite four were actually supposed to master two types : Lorelei : Water/Ice Bruno : Rock/Fighting Agatha : Ghost/Poison Lance : Dragon/Flying
One of Bruno's Hitmons iirc has Fissure, which is a guaranteed ohko on Mewtwo up to about level 75. Of course you have to make the mistake of letting the hitmon have an attack, meaning you either are out of psychics, using recover, or switching into Mewtwo-mid fight.......
I was getting ready to sleep listening to one of your runs again, and I see this posted less than a minute before I started looking. Here's to another comfy night.
Great run! I think you could easily optimize this a lot further, because your expertise is in making the most of terrible Pokémon, rather than blasting through the game with a Legendary!
I learned that Fire didn't resist Ice in Gen 1 from Pokemon Stadium, where my last remaining pokemon, Charizard, was frozen solid, which is essentially an automatic loss as you can't use items. Fun times.

I remember the first time I ever beat Pokemon red when I was a youngster, I felt so accomplished! Even though it took me using all 6 slots because I wasn't privy to elixirs or restores. The lack of info about what things do in this game is staggering. So all I had was pots and revives. I think my time was around 27 hours. Then to see this as a 30 year old... damn man.

No way...I just posted a video earlier today attempting the Elite 4 with a level 5 Mewtwo! The timing couldn't be better! JRose, are...are YOU the strongest psychic type?!
Dang, I didn't even notice; I was too busy listening to the gen 1 jank. Probably wouldn't have mattered, I mean, it was a mewtwo that was higher level than the opposing pokemon, and like all they had was confusion and pound.
Bro I've been watching to a lot of your videos and really appriciate them. Your videos help me to get through a stressful time and to calm down from studying! keep on with those videos and countimpressions ;)
I think i almost always learn something new whenever you do a solo run Didn't know about the badge boost glitch Didn't know bug was weak to poison in gen 1 And I just learned about the priority message system.
That....might actually get interesting. Partly from the TMs, but mostly because Mew has 100 in every stat. Mewtwo has an obvious best strategy with 154 special, but Mew has options. And you have to find the fastest/lowest level... Best moves would be Psychic, Blizzard, Swords Dance, Earthquake? But Swords Dance and Earthquake are in Silph Co, and might require taking an extra battle...

I love the joke with The Count every time it comes up hahahaha
Awe, I was hoping Mewtwo was going to be put on the ranking list lol.
He'd probably slot in nicely if items weren't allowed outside of battle either. No potions, no elixer, no PPup, no rare candy, no TMs.
Lol! That Count impression!
Totally unexpected. I almost spit out my drink! Lol
(And I mean that in a good way. Loved the impression, JRose!)
This has become one of my favorite TH-cam series.
It would be interesting to see articuno zapdos and moltres do this run 🏃
Well moltres wouldn't have any problems doing the run because of its STRONG Legs!
@@zeeee8305 Isnt zapdos the one that has strong legs?
@@milonchello1643 Yes, galar form Zapdos is the kicking bird.
@@CuulX Oh yeah, Galar, you mean that game that makes you pay 90-120 dollars for a game outclassed by Gen 4 and 5? (Yes there's always comments like mine, and I'm proud of that)
No shade, just hate gen 8
@@johnwest6690
Yeah gen 8 is awful. Tbh the games never should have switched to 3d, as well as not being made piss easy
I love your Count Dracula, please never stop doing it
It's the Count from Sesame Street, it's a pun cuz he COUNTS things.
Edit: I agree it's amazing
Thank you for busting your ass on these runs. The way you approach the adversity you give yourself in these challenges (or "challenge", in this one case), with your super positive mood on top of your clear and concise description of the analytics, is really refreshing and great to watch!
Callin that vid being Caterpie / Weedle.
This was a really fun watch, thank you for the great video!
I would love to see how kengaskhan, schyter, pinsir and tauros will fare.
I think you mean "fear"
Right?
*right?!*
Who is Schyter?
I want to see Onix, tbh
I feel like you REALLY needed a brake so this video is a welcome surprise.
Yea love the idea of just make a chill video without the frustration that he had in a couple of videos. Really fucked up.
I don't know why youtube didn't give me your videos any earlier, I just like to work or chill while I have a pokemon video in the background.
Thanks for the content.
Your count impression is very good, made me laugh :)
Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, beat the game with Mewtwo as fast as you can!
this is the man's break that he needs.
Well thank *you* for the videos, all the original pokemon runs have really been something I’ve looked forward to during the apocalypse
You should've beat Mewtwo with Mewtwo
*"I used the Mewtwo to beat the Mewtwo"*
No way...I just posted a video earlier today attempting the Elite 4 with a level 5 Mewtwo!
The timing couldn't be better! JRose, are...are YOU the strongest psychic type?!
Imma go check fam, looks great
Let's have a look
the badge boost glitch wasn't even MENTIONED in this video
this is a miracle guys, we did it
And no Mimic or Body Slam.
It affected the elite 4 battles though. So not sure if JRose is just tired of explaining this or he hasn't noticed.
You have no idea how happy I am to hear someone using conquest music especially for the intro
"It's not a good count impression but if I do it less you can't tell"
This dude is cool
The Balls on this guy to actually attempt this. That’s why I sub to this channel.
13:56 so... just casually ignoring that insane freeze luck, getting it two times in a row, huh? Smooth.
Dang, I didn't even notice; I was too busy listening to the gen 1 jank.
Probably wouldn't have mattered, I mean, it was a mewtwo that was higher level than the opposing pokemon, and like all they had was confusion and pound.
Alakazam is my favorite nonlegendary and I love that you respect that line.
Mewtwo is basically an indestructible killing machine though.
Bro I've been watching to a lot of your videos and really appriciate them.
Your videos help me to get through a stressful time and to calm down from studying! keep on with those videos and countimpressions ;)
I think i almost always learn something new whenever you do a solo run
Didn't know about the badge boost glitch
Didn't know bug was weak to poison in gen 1
And I just learned about the priority message system.
I've also learned about some hidden items in the game
I'm curious about Mew, because it can learn any TM.
That....might actually get interesting. Partly from the TMs, but mostly because Mew has 100 in every stat. Mewtwo has an obvious best strategy with 154 special, but Mew has options. And you have to find the fastest/lowest level...
Best moves would be Psychic, Blizzard, Swords Dance, Earthquake? But Swords Dance and Earthquake are in Silph Co, and might require taking an extra battle...
i think it was a pretty good count impression. love your content! ❤
I really appreciate the fact that you show us the battles you lose :)
Now we KNOW WHY giavonni wanted him so bad
Can’t wait to see him use Mew too.
i see what you did there
that ending was wholesome af, glad i found this channel. fun times
I'd be interested in seeing how the other four Legendaries do, especially compared to Mewtwo.
