Hey guys, I just want to thank you all so much for the support, I didn't expect 100K in ~24 hours after taking such a long break! You all are amazing. This has been the worst year of my life, and I just needed to take a step back. Now I'm sure many of you are expecting to hear from me again in about 2 months, but, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised :) Stay Tuned!
dude I think to be honest I speak for a number of your viewers that I think I'm actually curious how many of your strats will be serious innovations or breakthroughs simply because you're tackling a classic problem in gaming with fresh eyes fresh mind and fresh grit with the advantage of looking at all the other developments that others before you added. we're straight up excited and rooting for you to make breakthroughs in Pokemon Science. Although some of the legwork must be grindy as hell for you and up against some walls it might seem like there's not much new to add after 30 years, there's always that CHANCE, what if you actually broke serious record? there are millions of people who are fans of the Pokemon Franchise of course, but of those millions how many are plugging away at Gen 1 to this day? And of the Gen 1 players, how many are Speedrunners, or of the Speedrunners, how many are doing Gen 1 Challenges? Overall I think your Channel has the potential to seriously be part of Pokemon History. I can well believe that strats might already be maxed out for almost everything, but I watch because you're really great at making them very watchable and because I'm hoping to learn something I didn't know. It's also just a really good condensed primer to catch anyone up who's been out for a long time and wants to go back to the games. Last point is: of all the Great Pokemon Runners and Great Pokemon Scientists, how many of the rest of them are Great TH-camrs too? Even if you're not the fastest I am just plain addicted to the layout you've got for making a Tier List for 150 entries. Good Luck with getting out your videos and finishing your series at the pace that makes sense to you. I like the Channel and I'm cool if you slow down to putting out fewer per year. The possibilities are endless for how much work you have if you were to expand to Gen 4 and beyond, so because of that obviously we all realize it will take a long time to finish Gen 1 and maybe 2 anyway. It seriously reminds me of the Marvel Cinematic Universe except you're doing a lot closer to 1:1 a movie for every hero by at least doing a movie for every Mon. Please don't feel overwhelmed by that comparison, I just think that you're as popular with your fans, that we really like the format and we really want more sequels and content and see where you take your channel and we really hope you get to make as much as possible. I could definitely see myself staying subscribed for 10 years. You're a great PokeTuber and during your absence I did start following Cimoooo's Progression Series in the YugiTubing Community, and I feel like the two main series you do are similar. Wishing for some kind of incredible crossover is the kind of thing that occupies the same space in my head as hoping for a DC/Marvel Cinematic Crossover. 99% likelihood you each just focus primarily on staying in the direction you've been doing before considering anything crazy like that. But man, I just want to say how much I like watching TH-cams about Pokemon and it does feel like a movie series, at least to me, so my expectations for how long you might need I was comparing it to how long I had to wait for Black Widow. You've got a really, really, really neat channel going on here where your main formula is so good, I always want to see more of that, and if you go off formula for something wild, that's headline news to me and a huge deal and I'd be excited to see that too. I am SO glad I Subscribed to you months ago so that I actually got the Notification when I Needed It! :D But yeah don't worry about how long it might take to make your next installments. I for one would wait twice as long and be excited for just having a basic normal episode be what you put up whenever you get back. Hitmonchan didn't sell this episode himself, you did that on your own! He's a godawful Pokemon, but he had a great Trainer and Narrator and he's become part of a larger world! "I'd like to talk to you about the JRose Initiative."
As I understand the gen 1 AI, that's not because of the good flag, but because the AI in general just doesn't really get how its item use works. Though I do get what you mean.
Game respects game. However, slightly more seriously I would like to thank both of you youtubers for literally days of entertainment. Its been a tough couple of years but your videos can still make me smile. Keep it up.
MDB! So great to see you here! I respect the efforts from the both of you. Jrose, as well as yourself have brought much enjoyment to me. I hope the best for you both!
Me: “Time for bed, work tomorrow.” - Jrose video goes live - Me: “An hour extra won’t hurt.” Welcome back! Never be sorry to take some time away! Just glad you’re back and okay! 😀
Too be fair a person who knows how to punch knows that you get a lot of extra power if you rotate the fist as you throw the punch, jam the thumb in the eye as you do so and bam, horn drill
I never thought of the Badge Boost glitch as a glitch per se. Even if it wasn't intended to work that way, as a kid it made sense to me. Gym leaders tell you that badges increase attack/speed/etc but don't give you any details on HOW they do that. So whenever those stats would suddenly increase during battle if feels like a reward for your efforts.
If we were to count the Special twice as an offensive stat and a defensive stat, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee would actually end up with a lower base stat total than Machoke in Gen 1, which is just ridiculous to me

Dude, break is fine. Chill. We're here for jrose, not his burnt out twin. I'm more worried about how breaks affect your income, viewer retention, or anything else that keeps you afloat. I'm sure people would be willing to support you in other ways, given the chance.
@@MimonJesus67 Shockingly, the impact has been minimal. Obviously a dropoff, but not *nearly* as dramatic as it should have been. Speaks volumes of how dedicated you all are.
Me too haha, I loved Hitmonchan because of the strong looking boxing sprite and i had no idea of stab boosts so I thought I have all types in attacks in one pokemon 🤣 until I tried using it and was mucho disappointed
Hitmonchan is a boxer, Machamp is a wrestler, bodybuilder, and general-purpose martial artist. Hitmonchan is meant to be better at punching because that's its primary thing. Of course, in Gen 1, Hitmonchan's movepool is so limited and so weakened by its crap Special that it's better off using Submission (a wrestling move) than any of its actual boxing moves.
"Sorry for the Break!" Nah fam, you take all the breaks you need! You've got plenty of stuff for us to rewatch if you need a break, take care of yourself first and all that. Plus, whenever you release a video, it ends up at the top of my recommended, so the algorithm seems to like you even when you do go on a hiatus!
@@drakerose3789 Yeah, the trick with that particular fight is getting Hitmonchan's speed high enough to outspeed the lank shark, because there's no way he's gonna tank any of Garchomp's moves (except Crunch).
I agree with using a single agility to outspeed. But using it 2 additional times explicitly for just attack is definitely exploiting the glitch. In terms of opponents using leer or something, it's really just luck like anything else - a crit, a miss, etc.
*_sees Hitmonchan_* This shouldn't be too bad, right? *_sees video length above 50 minutes_* Oh. Oh, no. *_remembers Agatha from the Bruno run_* OH NO.
Aloha. I thought this channel's comment-section/s, if any place, would have smarteristic and smarttastic people.

I used the reportbutton as it was originally intended; not as Cancel-Culture but to help. Just this week, i got 1 Covid-Denier-Channel (yes, the entire thing, not just 1 video) and 2 Open Racists (Users, not TH-camrs) removed. And this feels good. No, its not a 'Wonder-Miracle-Solution!!', but who needs that? Do you need that? If so, ok, i dont have anything for you. Yet, i feel confident about this enough to ask: Wanna join the Fun? The helping? Both? Sorry for the long comment and sorry there is no Miracle-Hyper-Super-Solution, but hey, its costfree and totally-your-own-time-schedule, as well as just plain fun, so i hope such Package is good enough for you.
@@theeorigin4651 yup you cannot get statused by moves of your type in gen 1. Meaning the beedrill and venomoth lines for instance are the only lines fully immune against poison status as beedrill has a bug attack that can poison and can poison poison types.
I'm glad I found this channel again. A couple years ago I watched the magikarp run, top 10 annoying evolutions, and top 10 laziest shinies. Nostalgia is in running through my veins.
I love watching these to fall asleep to without any bad thoughts floating around in my head to keep me up. My new fear now is running out of videos to watch. Thanks for all you do, you can't imagine how much this helps me. (And yes, I do usually skip back to the point I last remember if I fell asleep)
I've been watching other pokemon challenge runs in your absence and I must say, you do it the best. Nobody beats your quality and content when it comes to pokemon challenges. Welcome back and simultaneously, take the time you need!
Good to have you back Jrose! You know what I would like to see? A Krabby run. Krabby learns the three HMs you need to complete the game (Surf, Cut and Strength, Flash and Fly aren't strictly needed), only Krabby, Kingler and Mew can do this. You can finish Pokemon Red without ever getting another Pokemon!
It does super high damage and has a chance to sleep a Pokemon but lowers defense drastically if it KO'S the Pokemon (because you'd lower your guard if you knocked out somebody as well)
@Manuel Alejandro Acevedo Mojica And having an actual STAB move in double kick and high jump kick. Hitmonlee is maybe the second best fighting type (The best one is Poliwrath because of amnesia)
Squirtle really deserves a remake where you use Withdraw now that Badge Boost Glitch has become such a core part of these runs. It's current ranking is kind of unfair.
I recently moved out of my parents place, and ive been finding it hard to sleep without my dog by my side. Im not sure what it is about these videos, but when I put them on as i am trying to fall asleep, the vocal tones help me fall asleep. I've been putting on the old episodes recently, so I am super excited for tonight's upload! Its the little things that make up he spice of life. Thank you for making my evening just a little bit more manageable
I've been watching your channel since youtube recomended me the "is it possible to beat pkmon red with only a magickarp?"(that video is amazing btw hauhauhah i laughed so hard and yet felt the pain) I'm glad to see you're back ^^

I think you should, in your own time of course, revisit some of these runs where you may be able to improve time and/or level with the strats you know after all of these runs. Not to overwrite the original times on the tier list, but mostly just for fun. Great videos, man. Keep up the great content!
Before I even watch: sneaky, sneaky, Jrose, uploading _right_ after I go to bed. At least I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I woke up! Great to see you back!
I first found your videos and got hooked when my only "home" was in the back of a stranger's van in LA for a couple weeks. I don't want to sound like a sob story or anything, but just wanted to let you know you made a difference in someone's life who was having a seriously hard time. Thanks for making these videos and sharing a passion!
@@InfernosReaper he said on the video that thunder punch was intentional to help with gyarados also like other person said if a pokemon gonna need more than 7-8 hits to ko then just use the 30% accurate ohko move plus that was his first time reaching that far on the battle so he not knew what to do
@@RaphielShiraha64 He straight up said he accidentally gave up the wrong move to get Ice Punch. As for spamming moves with that low of an accuracy, that's straightup luck-based strategies and worse than double-team + accuracy lowering mess. Dude was off his game on this one.
Honestly, it's good you use the badge boost glitch. Imagine how many fights you'd have to reset because the enemy used leer or screech on you. The vids would end up becoming so less interesting if you enacted on that.
Sorry but this logic makes no sense. There's a difference between passively benefiting from a glitch you can't avoid, which is what you described, and actively abusing the glitch by making plays that only make sense if you're trying to trigger the glitch, which is what he's actually doing. Nobody wants him to reset runs if he accidentally bemefits from badge boost, but when he does stuff like spams agility when he already outspeeds everyone, fidgets with his xp so he doesn't level up while he has the glitch active, or mimics useless setup moves like harden just to get the glitch like he has done in previous videos, he loses the right to call his runs glitchless imo. If you get to select which glitches are ok to abuse, then any run whatsoever can be considered glitchless. Would you consider the crazy any% speedruns that use artificial code execution to beat the game in minutes "glitchless" if the runner made the excuse that if he wanted to press the buttons he did in that order, it would inevitably lead to glitches, so those glitches shouldn't count? No you wouldn't because that makes no sense, neither does the excuse Jrose presented in the video
@@exantiuse497 You can't just be arbitrary. The only fair way to ban it would be to ban all use of boosting moves, and that would just make more runs unbeatable.If you really have such a massive problem with it, do them yourself instead.. It's just that Gen 1 is so ridiculous. He'd technically have to reset every time his health goes red, or if the opponent gets 256'd. BTW, glitchless Pokemon speedruns also abuse badge boost as well as the Pokedoll Lavender Tower skip. So, if you want to compare to speedruns, he's actually being more restrictive than the actual speedrun.
@@TechHug Did you actually read what I wrote? I literally said benefiting from a glitch you can't help and actively invoking the glitch in order to benefit from it are two completely different things. And I wasn't talking about speedruns, I understand why they can't ban badge boost glitch in speedruns because they need to have strict and unambiguous rules. I was talking about Jrose's videos, where he sometimes specifically gets on a high horse about not using glitches, calling out speedrunners for using the Marowak pokedoll exploit because "he considers it a glitch", then spends half the run explaining how he abused the badge boost glitch to make the run easier. It's not the glitches that annoy me, I have no issues about people abusing glitches for speedruns/challenge runs. It's the hypocricy at irritates me
@@exantiuse497 It's a consistency thing. Basically, it's not reasonable to completely avoid getting benefits from the badge boost glitch, and any rules about what's considered "abusing" it would be arbitrary and result in arguments over what abuse is. The only consistent options are to either ban stat changing (which would make the runs both harder to complete and less interesting to watch due to grinding being the only way out of most situations), or to just completely allow it. That said, you do have a point, especially since the whole Pokedoll thing isn't really a glitch (if you think about it, everything in that situation is working as intended, with the only thing missed being the fact that Game Freak forgot to add a flag to prevent that from happening).
You know ive been watching a lot of Scott'sThoughts versions of these and dont get me wrong, his videos are great and i love his work as well, but it feels good to be watching someone that actually knows what theyre doing again. Edit: "If i cant beat koga i can always go to blaine first." Welp, pack it up boys, i misspoke
Welcome back! Omg I missed your videos. Dang, I don't like the Fighting type in general, but it was like.... unfairly bad in gen 1 lol. Idk why they made Hitmonchan so bad; it didn't deserve that. It really should have been one of the best Fighting types back then, but it just sucked. Luckily, it's much better now that they made the Punches physical.
"Why can't we have a good fighting move?" Ghost type entered the chat. Gen 1 was such a great example of good in concept, flawed in design. Just like the only ghost type mons were Ghost/Poison, so their type effectiveness against psychic was completely nullified by being saddled with poison, not having any real damaging moves outside of Night Shade (which was just a non-physical Seismic Toss), and the fact that they added in a whole type for one friggin family of mons. Shout out to the Dragons on that one too. Thanks for the vid, you answered the question for me so that I didn't have to spend 20 hours doing it myself. I used a code to give myself a Hitmonchan, got him to level 8, and then I was like "I wonder if that one guy did a Hitmonchan video..." Of course you did. Appreciate you so much.
I recently discovered this channel. I watch every day, especially before bed. Don't know how it can be so addicting, even though it's the same thing over and over again
Man, Hitmonchan's lack of coverage really is so devastating. It certainly says something when your strategy for two of the final gauntlet is mimic hypnosis and pray.
It's got exceptionally amazing coverage: Normal, Fighting, Ice, Fire, Thunder... it's just that the one Fighting move it has access to is really bad, and it doesn't have the Special stat to support those elemental punch moves. So that coverage is mostly wasted.
My initial viewing of a Jrose video is always with my full attention, usually eating a snack or a meal, very much interested from beginning to end. After I watch them fully, I will use any previously viewed videos to help me fall sleep. Thanks for being intriguing enough to hold my attention, yet comforting enough to ease me into sleep.
Welcome back, dude! Sorry I'm only able to watch this now and not earlier, but my brother is a big fan of you, too, I wanted to wait until we had time to catch this together. Keep up the great work!
Hey guys, I just want to thank you all so much for the support, I didn't expect 100K in ~24 hours after taking such a long break! You all are amazing.

I used to love the elemental punches as a kid. They seemed so powerful.
Me too haha, I loved Hitmonchan because of the strong looking boxing sprite and i had no idea of stab boosts so I thought I have all types in attacks in one pokemon 🤣 until I tried using it and was mucho disappointed
Same. When I was a kid, "Punch" had to be in the name of the ability if my hitmonchan were going to learn it.
they were as long as alakazam or gengar was running them
I just love the fact that, according to the pokedex entries, Hitmonchan is an even better puncher than Machamp.
Hitmonchan is a boxer, Machamp is a wrestler, bodybuilder, and general-purpose martial artist. Hitmonchan is meant to be better at punching because that's its primary thing.
Of course, in Gen 1, Hitmonchan's movepool is so limited and so weakened by its crap Special that it's better off using Submission (a wrestling move) than any of its actual boxing moves.

Welcome back Jrose11!, glad to see you are back
I'd love to see a "Can You Beat Diamond/Pearl with just a Hitmonchan" video, considering the physical/special split implemented in these games.
I did a run of SoulSilver with Hitmonchan. It's challenging but definitely doable, so DPPt is definitely doable as well.
@@shinigamimiroku3723 I was about to say that Garchomp says otherwise but Hitmonchan has Ice Punch so nevermind.
@@drakerose3789 Yeah, the trick with that particular fight is getting Hitmonchan's speed high enough to outspeed the lank shark, because there's no way he's gonna tank any of Garchomp's moves (except Crunch).
Honestly, the badge boost glitch is so hard to avoid overall that it might as well be a feature.
How did people decide it's a glitch?
@@hyruleansoldier3157 because it doesn't exist in Gen2 and beyond *and* it boosts stats unrelated to the one being affected by an ability.
But why does he not use the Poke Doll Skip?
I agree with using a single agility to outspeed. But using it 2 additional times explicitly for just attack is definitely exploiting the glitch. In terms of opponents using leer or something, it's really just luck like anything else - a crit, a miss, etc.
@@InfernosReaper It also didnt existed stat exp in Gen 3 or in Gen 2 rage changed functionality and that isnt a glitch.

Is that because body slam is a normal type move? What even is gen 1

I'm glad I found this channel again. A couple years ago I watched the magikarp run, top 10 annoying evolutions, and top 10 laziest shinies. Nostalgia is in running through my veins.
I love watching these to fall asleep to without any bad thoughts floating around in my head to keep me up. My new fear now is running out of videos to watch. Thanks for all you do, you can't imagine how much this helps me. (And yes, I do usually skip back to the point I last remember if I fell asleep)

Since he didn't open with it this time, allow me: "Hey Jrose11, How's it going?"
I've been asking myself lately, why you haven't uploaded in a while and now you drop this gem.
Glad to see you back!
I've been watching other pokemon challenge runs in your absence and I must say, you do it the best. Nobody beats your quality and content when it comes to pokemon challenges. Welcome back and simultaneously, take the time you need!
Good to have you back Jrose! You know what I would like to see? A Krabby run. Krabby learns the three HMs you need to complete the game (Surf, Cut and Strength, Flash and Fly aren't strictly needed), only Krabby, Kingler and Mew can do this. You can finish Pokemon Red without ever getting another Pokemon!
Hitmonchan: "Keep your eyes on my fists, they will make you fall asleep"
@Greynold Godrig Theres a fighting type move that does the opposite lol, it wakes you up.
It does super high damage and has a chance to sleep a Pokemon but lowers defense drastically if it KO'S the Pokemon (because you'd lower your guard if you knocked out somebody as well)

I think you should, in your own time of course, revisit some of these runs where you may be able to improve time and/or level with the strats you know after all of these runs. Not to overwrite the original times on the tier list, but mostly just for fun. Great videos, man. Keep up the great content!
I had to stop everything and comment to say HE'S BACK! My man! So great to see new videos from you Jrose!
Before I even watch: sneaky, sneaky, Jrose, uploading _right_ after I go to bed. At least I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I woke up! Great to see you back!
Long has his return been foretold! Now he’s back to fulfill his destiny!
Wow, that champion battle really went your way (aside from the first wing attack by Pigeot). Really nicely done, glad to see you're back!
I first found your videos and got hooked when my only "home" was in the back of a stranger's van in LA for a couple weeks. I don't want to sound like a sob story or anything, but just wanted to let you know you made a difference in someone's life who was having a seriously hard time.
Thanks for making these videos and sharing a passion!
Jrose: I need to stop using luck-based strats to make this Hitmonchan work
Also Jrose: Haha mimic horn drill go brrrrr
Or y'know simple math. If you need over 7 hits to knock out a Pokemon, you might as well use the 30% accurate OHKO.
Yeah, not sure what was going on with this one. After he accidentally wrote over Ice Punch with Thunder Punch it was kinda all downhill from there.
@@InfernosReaper he said on the video that thunder punch was intentional to help with gyarados
also like other person said if a pokemon gonna need more than 7-8 hits to ko then just use the 30% accurate ohko move plus that was his first time reaching that far on the battle so he not knew what to do
@@RaphielShiraha64 He straight up said he accidentally gave up the wrong move to get Ice Punch.
As for spamming moves with that low of an accuracy, that's straightup luck-based strategies and worse than double-team + accuracy lowering mess.
Dude was off his game on this one.
@@InfernosReaper 30% is more than enough if you gonna kill a pokemon with MORE than 7-8 hits anyway imo
Waking up to JRose’s return, a perfect start to a new day
I actually yelled out a joyful "YEAHHH" when I saw the upload.... My wife looked a little baffled by this, though...
Never get tired of the explanation of badge boost. Honestly just a cool unintentional mechanic
I initially read the title as: "Could you beat Pokémon Red/Blue with just one Punch" for some reason.
Now that'd be a challenge run. Only one Punch move for the entire game.
@@MijmerMopper A failed one at that. Ghost types.
Honestly, it's good you use the badge boost glitch. Imagine how many fights you'd have to reset because the enemy used leer or screech on you. The vids would end up becoming so less interesting if you enacted on that.
Sorry but this logic makes no sense. There's a difference between passively benefiting from a glitch you can't avoid, which is what you described, and actively abusing the glitch by making plays that only make sense if you're trying to trigger the glitch, which is what he's actually doing. Nobody wants him to reset runs if he accidentally bemefits from badge boost, but when he does stuff like spams agility when he already outspeeds everyone, fidgets with his xp so he doesn't level up while he has the glitch active, or mimics useless setup moves like harden just to get the glitch like he has done in previous videos, he loses the right to call his runs glitchless imo.
If you get to select which glitches are ok to abuse, then any run whatsoever can be considered glitchless. Would you consider the crazy any% speedruns that use artificial code execution to beat the game in minutes "glitchless" if the runner made the excuse that if he wanted to press the buttons he did in that order, it would inevitably lead to glitches, so those glitches shouldn't count? No you wouldn't because that makes no sense, neither does the excuse Jrose presented in the video
@@exantiuse497 You can't just be arbitrary. The only fair way to ban it would be to ban all use of boosting moves, and that would just make more runs unbeatable.If you really have such a massive problem with it, do them yourself instead.. It's just that Gen 1 is so ridiculous. He'd technically have to reset every time his health goes red, or if the opponent gets 256'd.
BTW, glitchless Pokemon speedruns also abuse badge boost as well as the Pokedoll Lavender Tower skip. So, if you want to compare to speedruns, he's actually being more restrictive than the actual speedrun.
@@TechHug Did you actually read what I wrote? I literally said benefiting from a glitch you can't help and actively invoking the glitch in order to benefit from it are two completely different things. And I wasn't talking about speedruns, I understand why they can't ban badge boost glitch in speedruns because they need to have strict and unambiguous rules. I was talking about Jrose's videos, where he sometimes specifically gets on a high horse about not using glitches, calling out speedrunners for using the Marowak pokedoll exploit because "he considers it a glitch", then spends half the run explaining how he abused the badge boost glitch to make the run easier. It's not the glitches that annoy me, I have no issues about people abusing glitches for speedruns/challenge runs. It's the hypocricy at irritates me
@@exantiuse497 It's a consistency thing. Basically, it's not reasonable to completely avoid getting benefits from the badge boost glitch, and any rules about what's considered "abusing" it would be arbitrary and result in arguments over what abuse is. The only consistent options are to either ban stat changing (which would make the runs both harder to complete and less interesting to watch due to grinding being the only way out of most situations), or to just completely allow it.
That said, you do have a point, especially since the whole Pokedoll thing isn't really a glitch (if you think about it, everything in that situation is working as intended, with the only thing missed being the fact that Game Freak forgot to add a flag to prevent that from happening).
@@TechHug There's no such thing as glitchless, just no mayor glitches because the game is a glitchfest.
He’s finally back!!!!!
The one, the only, the legend, the Jrose11 is back! I greatly enjoyed the video :)
Lmao it trying to learn Mega Punch, again, at level 48 in the middle of the Giovanni fight
Your dedication to not simply leveling up is awesome - it requires you to come up with these insane strategies. Love it
You should have named Hitmonchan "Knuckles"
That was a great name
Will he flex his knuckles?
Nah, he‘s saving that one for Lucario.

Edit: "If i cant beat koga i can always go to blaine first." Welp, pack it up boys, i misspoke
Welcome back! Omg I missed your videos.
Dang, I don't like the Fighting type in general, but it was like.... unfairly bad in gen 1 lol. Idk why they made Hitmonchan so bad; it didn't deserve that. It really should have been one of the best Fighting types back then, but it just sucked. Luckily, it's much better now that they made the Punches physical.
And back then there was no steel or dark type for fighting to be good against, AND fighting was weak to psychic, the most powerful type in gen 1
@@5wiftNinja387 Yeah Fighting really needed the buffs in gen 2
Hell. Even Machamp, the strongest Fighting type, sucked in Gen 1 thanks to terrible STAB in addition to OP Psychics everywhere.
Yeah, Gen 1 is the "No Moves" generation for so many types and mons that it's just brutal.
"Why can't we have a good fighting move?"
Ghost type entered the chat.
Gen 1 was such a great example of good in concept, flawed in design. Just like the only ghost type mons were Ghost/Poison, so their type effectiveness against psychic was completely nullified by being saddled with poison, not having any real damaging moves outside of Night Shade (which was just a non-physical Seismic Toss), and the fact that they added in a whole type for one friggin family of mons. Shout out to the Dragons on that one too.
Thanks for the vid, you answered the question for me so that I didn't have to spend 20 hours doing it myself. I used a code to give myself a Hitmonchan, got him to level 8, and then I was like "I wonder if that one guy did a Hitmonchan video..." Of course you did. Appreciate you so much.
Apparently you can throw a ghost... And it damages them. I'll remember that next time they infest my house.

I recently discovered this channel. I watch every day, especially before bed. Don't know how it can be so addicting, even though it's the same thing over and over again
Man, Hitmonchan's lack of coverage really is so devastating. It certainly says something when your strategy for two of the final gauntlet is mimic hypnosis and pray.
It's got exceptionally amazing coverage: Normal, Fighting, Ice, Fire, Thunder... it's just that the one Fighting move it has access to is really bad, and it doesn't have the Special stat to support those elemental punch moves. So that coverage is mostly wasted.
when we needed him most, the legend returned, to save us from boredom for an hour
knew you'd be back bro, all good. everyone gets a break when they need one!
My initial viewing of a Jrose video is always with my full attention, usually eating a snack or a meal, very much interested from beginning to end. After I watch them fully, I will use any previously viewed videos to help me fall sleep. Thanks for being intriguing enough to hold my attention, yet comforting enough to ease me into sleep.
I wasn't here before the break but hec yes welcome back!
At this point, Badge Boost is a "Technique" and I look forward to seeing when you have to bust it out.
Absolutely. You can't avoid badge boost. You can't avoid gen 1 miss. You can't avoid red bar. These are just an inherent part of the game.
