To be fair, there's a difference in patience in grinding and a patience in trying to do every calculation you can beforehand on what you're going to do and plan to make sure crucial members don't faint on you that you can't use later down the road to potentially completely kill a run. If the Abra have an issue of progressing, you don't have to start completely from scratch if it dies and just have to think of another way to overcome and clearly to grind. There's 2 different kind of patiences there. I'd rather level a Bulbasaur into a Venusaur in Route 1 than to do a Nuzlocke.
Grinding a single pokemon is work, but you don't always have the risk of a bad fight completely killing a run. That right there is an easy way to just completely kill motivation vs. trying your best and realizing a single mon run just isn't feasible.
Poison is kind of the best for a type themed nuzlocke run, with the sheer variety of dual types. I’ve always enjoyed my poison team runs had a good one in fire red. Very much enjoyed this upload! It’s comforting to watch creativity in these old games continue from our childhood. In a few months I’ll be 32 and life has so many unexpected twists and turns. This kind of thing is a comforting antidote.
On the tenth day of Christmas my Jrose gave to meeeeee Poison types are awesome Going fast with Sandshrew Nooooo exp Kanto Suff’ring with Shedinja Vileplume in Kanto Fiiiiiire types are traaaaaash Gen 1 mechanics Ce-le-bi Lots of tiny bugs And an Abra with really buff aaaarmsss
this is such a cruel fate for Blue, wiping out 80% of JRose's team and not even being the one true champion. Red is such a sham... that said: Vileplume is the true GOAT, completely underestimated by JRose but pivotal in making way for Tentacruel
I enjoyed this different challenge from Jrose. I struggle with Nuzlockes due to lack of patience too. I appreciate Jrose admitting that and still doing this run. Very entertaining!
Love gen 2...ill never forget waking up on Christmas to my very own gameboy color nd a copy of silver version..man i will never forget tht morning! Then crystal came out nd my mind was blown..moving sprites! Oh the nostalgia...gen 2 will ALWAYS be my favorite
Bro left in the footage of them going into the ruins of alph and forgetting no one could learn flash. The amount of respect I have has increased so much.
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 Vileplume will have my love forever after it saved my dumb ass the first time I fought Raihan in Shield. putting Duraludon to sleep to burn its Dynamax turns, Moonblast for neutral damage. it was like, plan C, too.
Poison types are my favorite types of Pokemon (especially the Nido lines), so I'm glad to see them get some due recognition. And this is a good game to do that, as they are surprisingly uncommon in most future Pokemon games. As for nuzlockes, I have no intention of doing those. I'm not looking for a challenge when I play Pokemon. I just wanna play around with my favorite monsters.
@@LazurBeemz Would be the case normally. But Jrose11 has to put some mental distance being the Return By Death Pokemon Master. How many pokemon has he watched die by his mistakes, How many more mistakes and poor decisions will end up killing more pokemon.
The argument for hacking in rare candies is that you could in theory just grind against wild Pokemon that are so far below you that they pose no risk. Hence the rare candies are just a time saver
Your Videos come Up around 0-3 am here in Germany and I lost my job last week so I stay up and look forward to every one of them. Great Timing with the month, great Pokémon content I appreciate it Gen 2 sprites are peak Pokemon Sprites btw and Vileplume and Tentacruel put in some work 💪
In an infusion room right now getting treatment, and your series has got me through it. Thanks man, keep it up. You don’t know how much this means to people.
My favorite type, with my favorite Pokémon on the cover! Poison is way underrated I’ll never understand how people think it’s bottom 3. Think of good poison types or mons that benefit from it, I promise you there is no shortage
Been watching you a while & I am always impressed with your runs! And it's great to see you showcase these runs. The Vileplume/Tentacruel was a great combo to see pull you through Red's battle!
I was listening to the vid in the background while playing, not realizing it's not - in fact - another FlygonHG Nuzlocke, my brain didn't even detect that the voice is yours instead. Only once you mentioned "I'm in Pokemon Crystal", something in my brain went: "...WAIT, this is a JRose video" and the fact you mention him just moments after is just so hilarious to me 🤣 Love both of your content! 🐸
literally go to my homepage sarcastically thinking "let's get the run he just uploaded on" and boom, first vid on my shit is our boy! he's a beacon of excellence, i'd say
Doing a mono-type challenge in Crystal with Water-types should be relatively easy since you'll have a lot of them to work with. Your encounter routing shouldn't be too bad, either, should you choose to play it as a Nuzlocke. As for a Bug-type run with only Johto Bug-types, doing it as a Nuzlocke would be a _terrible_ idea, but I know it should be possible. Ledian and Yanma probably wouldn't be of much help, but Forretress, Shuckle, Heracross, and Ariados should be able to defeat Lance and Red together.
Tbh, Ledian can learn Thunderpunch and Ice Punch (and due to its high SDef, it can go well against Lance), and Rollout works surprizingly well with Shuckle. I did a mono-bug run in Crystal some time ago, and they were better than I expected.
@Jrose11, you should definitely try a only steel pokemon run. I already did it with a bit of creativity but I'll love to see how you address it, specially at the beginning. Great video as always!
Loved this one! I love the speedruns, but man seeing an old school gen 2 with poison types is amazing. Glad you are sounding like you are having. Fun, and I pray this next year serves you well brother!
Geez, stop uploading so fast and so frequently. You’re making it super hard for me to get caught up with your uploads! I haven’t even finished the Sandshrew video yet! All jokes aside, if you see this, we do appreciate all of your hard work. This should be a good watch as both a Johto fan and a Poison-Type fan.
@@VelvetAura Those people are wrong. Nicknaming has literally no impact on the run. If they want to do that for their own runs, they're free to, but the core mechanics of a nuzlocke are permadeath and limited catches. Everything else is customized to how *you* want to run the game.
I love the struggle strats in the first gym. I don't see then much in these runs usually. I do like your commentary/ play style for nuzlockes.. but it dosent matter to me when it comes to content lol
I actually like that you aren’t doing nuzlocke challenges all the time cause it gives me a better variety of Pokémon content to watch. I’ll watch every one of your videos this month regardless but I don’t mind your typical content.
This video played out like a sports movie. The vaunted starters get put on the bench and the backups almost blow the run in an easy game, but then Red is a 2v6 victory after all the starters died to Blue.
Man I think you reaaaally underestimated Tentacruel when it comes to being a special tank, this pokemon is a beast. Fun video, even though there was a couple of moments of me screaming "FCKNG SWITCH" and tearing my hairs in front of my screen but hey, still fun as hell in the end. I know you said that nuzlock ain't for you but if you're seeking another one to do, Rock or Fighting pokemon in 3rd gen Hoenn are actually pretty ok to do, bonus point with the Steven fight in the end. If anyone is reading this, have a nice day.
Jrose “nuzlockes are too hard” Also jrose “im gonna beat this game using unpopped popcorn and i will spend 4,000 hours doing this if thats what it takes”
I feel like level capping was what the devs had in mind all along but didn't want the game to be too hard for children. You can really see what they were going for in their game and it's pretty masterful game design with coverage, useful utility moves, and annoying healing loops. I love watching Nuzlocke content for that very reason. You get to see the true beautiful game design of Pokémon games.
Most nuzlockers allow leveling past a leader's ace once the battle has started. Some even edge their mons to guarantee at least one level up during the battle. Your run, your rules though.
I still think not using candies to level up is simply a time waster, I understand that pkm can faint if you mess up but you can always farm the earliest grass, it takes forever but you'll never faint. And your Pokémon dies because you didn't farm enough is hardly relevant to the strategy/luck you need to beat a nuzlock. Plus you do have the absolute level cap restrictions, so mistakes in planning could happen if you didn't ev train before candies
Hisuian Qwilfish, and it's hardly the first example of this. We already have mons like clobbopus/grapploct, inkay/malamar, dragalge, the gen 3 fossils, stunfisk, etc. that are not water type.
I'm also terrible at nuzlockes, but still plan on doing nuzlockes of each generation using only pokemon introduced in each successive game. I've gotta say that among poison types, Crobat is definitely a highlight in GSC, and one of my favorite Pokemon from my crystal nuzlocke
Why would you train a 32 Grimer against a 37 TentaCRUEL? Any special attack he uses would kill that Grimer from nearly full HP. And that is being generous to Grimer.
I love the format of this challenge as far as only using a certain type for the entire game, but honestly it’d be even more fun/interesting without Nuzlocke rules IMO.
Nidorina is the unsung heroine of Whitney's gym -Female, immune to attract and cute charm -Decent attack and bulk for that point of the game -Access to double kick -After Gen 3, Poison Point helps with physical hits
I LOVE YOU JROSE! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND I HOPE SO MANY AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN TO YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!! Thanks for helping me go to sleep at night, your voice just does it for me 🫡
Btw... the level cap for each leader is finished after you just start the Battle! So, you can go over level 9 after the first Pidgey on Falkner's team or over level 16 after just the first Metapod on Bugsy's team for example 😅
Nuzlockes aren’t fun anyway. There are other ways to make the game more challenging without being that brutal. I always do these things, set a level cap for every gym/elite 4. Usually it’s never go higher than the “ace” of the team you are battling. Also I set the battle mode to SET and I don’t use items in battle. It makes it more challenging without being absurd.
JRose, I LOVE the creativity my man with every video (I’ve watched for about six months now), but even the nuzzlockers you mentioned allow levels ups once the gym battle starts
yeah I think he has some fundamental... misunderstandings? about nuzlocke rules? Some of the restrictions he places on himself, particularly in these Crystal runs, are not something that I see most nuzlockers do.
I wouldnt doubt poison is good. That's because its one of the most common types in gen 1 and 2. Then gamefreak made a change in their design, and its now one of the rarest types.

With abra, you know what you’re going tk have to do from the start. With a nuzlocke, 1 mistake can add dozens of hours in a game like hgss 😂
Also Jrose: Imma beat Pokemon Red with perfect 1/65k Weedle!
Ramming your face against a wall until the wall breaks is a different skillset.
Phew got nervous for a second. Without an upload how am i gonna sleep
For real, Jrose cured my sleep problems.
@@narakusdemon89 If nobody got me, I know Jrose11 got me.
But actually, his videos are perfect to fall asleep, respectfully to him.

How do you sleep the rest of the year lol
Poison is kind of the best for a type themed nuzlocke run, with the sheer variety of dual types. I’ve always enjoyed my poison team runs had a good one in fire red.
Very much enjoyed this upload!
It’s comforting to watch creativity in these old games continue from our childhood. In a few months I’ll be 32 and life has so many unexpected twists and turns. This kind of thing is a comforting antidote.
The repeat rule was invented so you can't have a team full of Crobat.
And Vileplume is obviously a legend.
Usually you can level up past the ace of a gym as long as you are not above their ace before the battle starts
Usually but he stated his rules don't allow this as an extra challenge
@chaoslordmissingno missed that for some reason
@@WiiFan20XX14:25
Yea was wondering this?
I hate it when people do that. Why have rules at all if you're just gonna loophole the hell out of them?
On the tenth day of Christmas my Jrose gave to meeeeee
Poison types are awesome
Going fast with Sandshrew
Nooooo exp Kanto
Suff’ring with Shedinja
Vileplume in Kanto
Fiiiiiire types are traaaaaash
Gen 1 mechanics
Ce-le-bi
Lots of tiny bugs
And an Abra with really buff aaaarmsss
I look forward to this every day
I love this 😂😂
7:57 woah it’s weird to watch Jrose let a pokemon evolve
this is such a cruel fate for Blue, wiping out 80% of JRose's team and not even being the one true champion. Red is such a sham...

I enjoyed this different challenge from Jrose. I struggle with Nuzlockes due to lack of patience too. I appreciate Jrose admitting that and still doing this run. Very entertaining!
pokemon crystal sprites are so underrated.still play my original to this day.
It blows my mind every time I boot up crystal. The sprites are so much better. More dynamic. Crisp
Pretty much everything towards the end of the gbc's liftime has this level of quality. Peak handheld consoles and games
Love gen 2...ill never forget waking up on Christmas to my very own gameboy color nd a copy of silver version..man i will never forget tht morning! Then crystal came out nd my mind was blown..moving sprites! Oh the nostalgia...gen 2 will ALWAYS be my favorite
@@joemclenigan6026 same exact experience for me hah. Still my favorite generation to do playthroughs on hands down.
The Crystal animations have so much more personality than the ones in Gen 3 and 4. Not being able to just rotate the sprites made them more creative.
Bro left in the footage of them going into the ruins of alph and forgetting no one could learn flash.
The amount of respect I have has increased so much.
That ending...
I won't spoil it, but that was THE most JRose thing I have ever seen. Wow.
As soon as Vileplume appeared, I knew it would come as a clutch at the end.
You should never underestimate Vileplume.
INSANE RUN!!

Nidos are the best indeed
Aren't you missing one of the most important rules of Nuzlockes: nickname everything?
Ah, back when the purpose of a Nuzlocke was to build emotional attachment to your team, rather than a purely mechanical challenge run to be optimized.
@@LazurBeemz Would be the case normally. But Jrose11 has to put some mental distance being the Return By Death Pokemon Master. How many pokemon has he watched die by his mistakes, How many more mistakes and poor decisions will end up killing more pokemon.
@@danielthemangrandeThat a Re:Zero reference?
Nicknaming does nothing for some people, it shouldn't be mandatory
You don't need to nickname mons to get attached to them
I never nickname Pokemon, Ash didn't so I shall not.
The argument for hacking in rare candies is that you could in theory just grind against wild Pokemon that are so far below you that they pose no risk. Hence the rare candies are just a time saver
You also gain EVs from wild encounters so it's still more optimal to just battle weak wild pokemon than use rare candies in the long run
It's driving me out of my mind, that's why it's hard for me to find. That pokemon is posion.
They're toxic, I'm slippin' under....

Thank you for so much content! I love your videos and have watched (almost) all of them. Very well done. GG

just got snacks and this is the first vid that popped up, what a glorious day!
Welcome to the month of JRose!
My favorite type, with my favorite Pokémon on the cover! Poison is way underrated I’ll never understand how people think it’s bottom 3. Think of good poison types or mons that benefit from it, I promise you there is no shortage
Blaine was so easy it wasn't even mentioned huh
Wow I did a Poison only run in Crystal back when I was a teen. What a flashback
Thank you for your service man! I just got Omega Ruby because of the month of Jrose.
Best month ever
Yes!
That Red battle was just perfect lol.
The gen 2 monotype hardcore nuzlockes have been my favorite content you've done
Poison pokemon generally not getting poisoned is a realllllly nice bonus. They also often get amazing coverage.
Didn't think I would see the upload time "17 seconds ago" when clicking on a video
Beat me. I refreshed and got it at 44 seconds
20:12
Kingdra used Smokescreen!
Weezing: “You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?”
Sometimes all you need is a flower, a squidy boy, and a dream.
Been watching you a while & I am always impressed with your runs!
And it's great to see you showcase these runs. The Vileplume/Tentacruel was a great combo to see pull you through Red's battle!
Btw, most nuzlokers I've seen only require you to match the ace of the gym leader at the start of the fight, but you can overlevel *during* the fight
Time to watch a 46 minute Pokemon video at 2:25AM I guess (I can't sleep)
Oh you too? Just finished the video 3:20 AM here
Where do you live?

Poison types are surprisingly well-rounded; I'm doing a hardcore Poison-type nuzlocke in Pokémon Gaia (fan game) to solid results!
I'd really like to see this challenge with Normal Pokemon
The explosion on the weezing in a Nuzlocke is funny to me

JRose: Vileplume is so useless, I'll use it as death fodder

We now have a new award to dole out at the end of the year, "Most Sacrifice-able".
Most nuzlockers allow leveling past a leader's ace once the battle has started. Some even edge their mons to guarantee at least one level up during the battle. Your run, your rules though.
Its fun to do nuzlock and then a wobbuffet appears for your surprise
Vileplume. The hero we didn't know we needed.
Full on anime "I'm gonna prove to my trainer that I should be here!" mode.
I still think not using candies to level up is simply a time waster, I understand that pkm can faint if you mess up but you can always farm the earliest grass, it takes forever but you'll never faint.
And your Pokémon dies because you didn't farm enough is hardly relevant to the strategy/luck you need to beat a nuzlock.
Plus you do have the absolute level cap restrictions, so mistakes in planning could happen if you didn't ev train before candies
Yeah, like the reason you hate them is because you force yourself to invest so much extra time. I just don't get it.
How can a Qwilfish be dark and poison but not water. It is a FISH! 2:18
How is Charizard it’s type too lol
That's the Hisuian variant that's dark and poison. Normal Qwilfish is water/poison
Hisuian Qwilfish, and it's hardly the first example of this. We already have mons like clobbopus/grapploct, inkay/malamar, dragalge, the gen 3 fossils, stunfisk, etc. that are not water type.

I'm also terrible at nuzlockes, but still plan on doing nuzlockes of each generation using only pokemon introduced in each successive game. I've gotta say that among poison types, Crobat is definitely a highlight in GSC, and one of my favorite Pokemon from my crystal nuzlocke

Btw... the level cap for each leader is finished after you just start the Battle! So, you can go over level 9 after the first Pidgey on Falkner's team or over level 16 after just the first Metapod on Bugsy's team for example 😅
Awesome victory there. I hope you do more mono runs, nuzlocke or otherwise.
