Hello
Monke
Road to 1 mil let’s go
Bonjour
Unrelated, but mankeys are so op in low level pokemon mystery dungeons, they can do like triple digits when you have 30 hp.
Freaking karate chop not being a fighting move. There are a lot of problems with gen 1 but for some reason that one really gets to me.
Yeah, since it's not a bug or anything, they either consciously decided it should be Normal, or actually forgot to type it as Fighting
Yeah, I just don't get how something so blatantly obvious is just ignored.
Well it also means it doesn't get resisted by Psychic types so it helps against Erika
@@rooislangwtf I mean you are right about Psychic and you're right about it helping against Erika but for that sentence to make sense I'm curious if you meant to say Poison or Sabrina.
Well also another one is brought up many times by Mah-Dry-Bread that goldeen's horn attack and peck is literally the same and one can hit ghost while the other can't. It is literally the same horn
"The Agatha Dividend" sounds like the title of a very dry, dystopian science fiction novel from the 1950s
My favorite reading genre whish it hadn't died off
Sounds like a Robert Ludlam book
@@lmnisop5516 I was thinking Ray Bradbury, but Ludlum is a much better fit.
It sounds like my grandpaxs retirement fund
@@goreobsessed2308 thats probably because its not fiction anymore :P
"But something really weird happens that I don't quite understand"
Red/Blue in a nutshell
To be honest he could just be talking about mankey back sprite the whole time.
nice username, ive used similar in the past, moon themed stuff ftw.
@@nox_luna Oh hey, thanks! I actually created this account when I was like.. 13 or 14? It's totally different from the username I used on every other site, but I prefer it this way. haha
@@soarinpenguinlive6372 Why are it's arms actually tentacles?
Mankey has joined the highly exclusive "We somehow lost to Bruno" Club. Now Zapdos has a friend.
And I love that both members of that club were some of the best for solo runs
@@theannilators7479 Is Bruno some challange medium. Like : you are worthy of my FULL POWER challenger!
Wow spoilers bro
@@austinjordan8308 considering the video, if you don't want spoilers, you probably shouldn't be in the comments until the end of the video. You can't expect people to refrain from talking about the results. Haha

That transition from dig in Blaine's gym to the teleporting portal in Sabrina's gym was so S M O O T H
I just noticed that, so cool
Nice Dig
Didn't notice it but great creative editing!
I was just gonna say this haha
JRose is still refusing to call an easy win “The Agatha Slaughtery” I see
It doesn’t rhyme though
@@seddonsmith8236 Lottery and Slaughtery doesn’t rhyme??
@@rememberda4736 maybe it’s an accent thing. Lottery starts with the “lot” sound and slaughtery starts with a “slort” sound
Slaughter is pronounced like "slot-er"
@@vanishingumbreon7615 Slot-er-y/Lot-er-y no?
The Hiker's first Geodude used Defense Curl, giving it just enough to hang on. The Graveler didn't.
exactly! and there may have also been low damage roll on Geodude and high on Graveler
Also Geodude v Graveler's defense stat is 110 v 115 so not that big a difference
Was going to comment this. Stat boosting moves: they're pretty damn good.
I posted a comment about the stats with this. The defense curl is the reason, but the HP and defense stats change between geodude and graveler because of the evolution and the slight level difference. I estimated that the +1 def geodude would always need to be a 2HKO with mankey using dig, having about 78%-94% geodude's hp damage range. Whereas the Graveler was a 15/16 chance to be a 1HKO with dig, with a range of about 98%-116% of the graveler's hp.
@@robertwright8844 damage rolls don't exist pre-gen 3
Bruno: Is one hit from unironically beating Jrose in their first fight.
Also Bruno: *Uses Fissure and X Defend*
Bro you can do all 151 and I'll watch, comment, and like every one of them
Some of them would just be evolved forms of others, which wouldn't be too interesting (except for the eeveelutions, I guess)
He already did all of the eeveelutions AND eevee
@@chlorobyte_projects
Nonsense, it'll be interesting to see all the evolutions ranked, and the middle forms need some love too.
@@AAX11111 I know that.
Seek help. I mean these vids are decent noise but you can't possibly be engaged after the 30th run
There are good fighting moves in gen 1, it's just that they're all on Hitmonlee.
And the fact fighting types were useless next to bug in gen 1
Not to mention that Psychic dominated in Gen 1.
@@danielotano8677 people only say fighting types are useless because of how prominent psychic types are in competitive. But those people don't actually understand gen 1 meta because fighting types work great against the also prominent normal types and the rocks. Bug types in gen 1 just don't have a lot of good tools to make use of at all, but fighting types sure do.
@@terraSpark902 and then you find out machamp couldn't even one hit chansey without a crit in gen 1
@@danielotano8677 And then you find out that doesn't matter because nothing could 1 hit KO chansy in gen 1
No joke the cut from the dig out of Blaine to Sabrina's room was top notch film making
Came to the comments specifically to make sure someone gave this glorious moment its due celebration.
I came to say the same thing. Haha
Same here 😂
I noticed that too!
I noticed as well -- its almost perfect! But not quite. The sabrina's footage started a few frames too early (as he was teleporting out of one room, before showing him landing in another) .. otherwise woulda been perfection
Except for a few types of "lower tier" trainers (like youngsters), almost all trainers in Gen 1 knows that you can't paralyze, poison or put a Pokémon to sleep if it's already suffering from one of those conditions, is burned or is frozen. That's why, despite Exeggutor having "good" AI, it will use barrage and stomp when Mankey is asleep instead of going for Hypnosis.
When the Lorelei fight started I thought of Pikasprey's softlock.
Should've used rage on Lorelei's Dewgong. The fight would've ended super fast.
A man of culture I see.
Why not use Thunderbolt? Isn't it a Water Type?
@@zeaferjones1404 In Red and Blue, using Rage on the Dewgong leads to a very popular softlock. The fight wouldn't have ended super fast.
Pikasprey powers gooooooo
The fact that I was confused when you said you had done no fighting Pokémon after you did Diglett is proof I have been playing the TCG too much.
diglett is fighting in the tcg? ... why?
@@vizzy61 Fighting, rock and ground type are fighting in the tcg. As for why who knows.
It's time to return to M A N K E
Reject reality. Embrace M A N K E

I don’t understand the joke
@@dynastystar5515 MONKE.
but mankey.
Go to a lake
23:11 "I am going for the badge boost glitch"
23:14 Levels up, clearing the effects of the glitch.
Me, who just played through Yellow recently: "mankey gets low kick right?"
Jrose: "well yes but no"
Yes, in yellow, to have better chances against Brook, because your starter is always a Pikachu (regulary)
@@the_real_swiper yea i remember, yellow was my first gameboy game, i caught a mankey leveled it up to 9 and crushed brock, then i proceeded to never use a different pokemon than pikachu xD
I was thinking the same thing when I saw his level.
@@tupacshakur5868 My usual run ended up always using Primeape until the end of the game, that's the one game where my starter wasn't the one I spammed until the end.
I was washing dishes when we got to the e4, and hearing lorelei made me drop my sponge..
"How many times will you beat Gen 1!?"
Jrose11: *y e s*
Actually it’s 151 times or less.
@@YhwachTheAlmighty. But he does these more than once sometimes. He did charmamder twice and mewtwo... maybe more I don't remember
Charmamber? Dont you mean Adra?
@@calvin8857
Mewtwo was a speed run tho
@@YhwachTheAlmighty. that’s still a playthrough. It’s not like he used the skip to credits glitch
"I'm gonna Lora-try"
I think I'm gonna Lora-die
Not gonna Lora-lie, those puns made me Lora-cry.
@@Pyxis10 I really dont understand Lora-why.
That transition between Blaines gym and Sabrinas was legit. Well done on the run as well my man!
At first I just thought he dug too Sabrina
Came here to say this.
Jrose: *pronounces it Lorelei instead of Laura Lee*
Me: Something's wrong, I can feel it
Reject humanity, return to Mankey.
No.
Jrose: Hypes up how mankey might lose to bruno
Me who hasnt made an online caree out of dissing bruno: Just mimic harden bro
Fun fact, in gen 1, agility actually negates the effects of paralysis on top of the boosts due to a glitch. Same with swords dance and burn.
Wow really? Gen 1 is so broken
@@saurabhgupta1591 Gen 1 is beautifully broken
If the game is broken at it's core, then how broken is it really?
i wish poison did that with defense lol
That’s overpowered, sort of situational but still useful.
"Everyone pronounces it Lorel-eye, so I'm going to LoreTRY." Disgusting. Have a like.
I pronounce it lowr ayl ay ii ay exusivley to annoy people.
Good stuff. We need to see you do a “Good AI” challenge run. Where you have to follow gen 1 rules and dice rolls to select your moves.
I don't remember the name but I believe that's been done before
@@DawsonW417 Fair. But even so, I think Jrose would bring valuable insights to the run, and just because it has been done (as long as it’s good faith and not copycat) there’s no reason not to take a fresh look. There’s room on the Internet for ✨all of us✨
@@WhiteSuburbanite he should combine it with his Bruno run. Now that sounds like a challenge
A G I L I T Y
A "Good AI" run would also always prioritise "super effective" type matchup moves.
That transition of combing the teleport out of Blaine’s with the final teleport tile in Sabrina’s gym was really nice.
15:06
When you started the video and fought charmander i was definately not expecting to be watching kong vs godzilla
When it’s super easy to beat Agatha it should be the Agatha slaughtery!
If you'd mimiced onix's harden, Bruno would have been free too.
Does the onyx have an attack that can kill before he sets up
I was thinking the same thing
It’s onix
Yeah was thinking that too
No its attacks are super low damage
So... I realized something
Most of the fighting moves in Gen 1 are exclusive to Hitmonlee.
And Hitmonlee has only Seismic Toss against Ghosts.
There's at least two or three like Karate Chop, Mega Kick/Punch that got reclassified after Gen I for this reason I suspect.
@@YukeWeiss Mega Kick/Punch are still Normal Type, though.
Only Karate Punch got reclassified
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 Touche! I thought a few more moves got reclassified than that.
@@YukeWeiss To Fighting Type? Or in general?
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 To fighting. Guess it was just Karate Chop then!
Is I too far fetched to ask for an April fools farfetch’d run this early?
"We've never done a Fighting Type Pokemon in our Gen 1 series"
Yes... that is entirely understandable... it is kind of Gen 1...
Checks schedule: math class is 45 minutes
Checks video time: 44 minutes
Me: v i d e o
Beeg brain
Math is temporary, jrose is forever
1.25 speed
45 - 44 > 0. Math checks out.
Well, JRose is math.
Ehh my man, really great epispde. I really take advantage of speed during my runs. I looked up the odds for fast Pokemon, anyone wondering Electrode is 27%
1st
So if Dire Hits worked as intended, Electrode would deal critical hits 100% of the time.
Is there a proto luigi?
@@Igorcastrochucre fast mons with slash: hello there
You're killing these. I've been watching a couple other RUclipsrs try these challenges but they just don't cover it correctly .. something always off. MDB has lost all love for it, his feel very rushed now, but your videos are still killing it.
Look forward to the next 700+ runs
yo excited for repentance?
@@idonnow2 very much!!
JRose is (i say this in admiration) over meticulous with the runs. Sometimes I play these while I decompress and eventually fall asleep and my roommate will turn it off saying “he just keeps talking!” And I’m like..
Uh....yeah...and?
MDB loves doing his weekly challenges, what are you talking about? It's one thing to appreciate a creator over another but don't say things that you actually have no proof of, it makes you look like an asshole.
@@hammerstix5791 MDB's videos seem like they're getting shorter and shorter, cutting out more and more stuff and getting to the end stuff quicker than the used to. Sometimes I feel like I look away from the screen for a few minutes in MDB's recent vids and when I look back he's already at the elite four.
That dig transition from blaine to sabrina tho
Professor Oak: Catch them all!
Jrose11: Solo run them all!
Gen 2: Devole them all
Gen 4: Evole them all
Gen 5: Remove all known
Gen 6: Mega them all
Where does Gen 3 fit in all that?
Lore-try and lore-succeed combo was my lore-favorite part of the entire video. I enjoy all your videos, your sense of humor, how you keep explanations short and sweet, especially when previous videos have covered it so long time viewers aren't bored but also still enough that new viewers can understand. Just great content.
But those bad, bad puns were my favorite.
Jrose: *gets to the champion*
Jrose: "This can be it! This can be the run!"
The remaining 10 minutes of the video: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."
When Jrose reaches the Elite Four and there's still half the video left
Tbh the elite.4 wasn't even that bad. He just made a big deal about losing like twice.
Didn't he lose like 30 times in the slowpoke video?
Isn't that like every video of this series he ever made? First half shows a quick rundown of everything else in the game and second half is him losing to the elite four over and over and over again. In this run here he didn't even lose that often, he just dragged out the elite four part.
that back sprite is insane

starmie sucks
@@dwestside6945 starmie is a psychic type in the fast level up group so it could very well be better for minimum battles
starmie only learns tm moves so you are stuck with water gun and tackle. min battles is impossible. trust me bro I tried it with starmie, it was awful. nothing will beat mewtwo anyway.
@@dwestside6945 *laughs in Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Psychic and Surf*
@@aaronodonoghue1791 lol yes bro once u get to celadon u get good moves until then it sucks. jrose said himself while streaming that starmie has no chance
I guess it's the first instance of the Bruno Lottery.
Zapdos had issues with bruno as well but that was more because of the onixes.
Also Jrose was just being silly here. He could have mimicked the first onix's harden and badge boost trough that fight on easy mode
@@MrEntinen Yeah, that would've worked though it would also slow Mankey down a minute or two.
That was Slowpoke.
Pronouncing every Pokemon and half the trainers differently from everyone else is Pokemon fan culture and should be treasured
my fav is pronouncing lapras as la prah
15:07 cool editing there jrose, we appreciate it 🙏
Blue: "How could my reign as champion be over already?"
Jrose: MONKE
World : Godzilla vs King Kong
Me : has exam tomorrow
Jrose : can MONKE strongest?
When he makes it to the Elite Four with half the video left you know it's a good episode
That ”Lora-Lai” had me wince.
Made me question reality.
That pronouncuation had been utterly supplanted by Laura-Lee and now I don’t know how to feel......
I legitimately did a double take because I was so used to his mispronunciation!
Holy shit didnt expect to see our spiritual liege here
I had to replay that 3 times
Pokemon stadium is the responsible
Finally I hear Loralai! That's sweet. Would have accepted Loralay
I'm just laughting to myself imagining a pissed off monkey dodging an enraged f-ing waterdragon trying to shoot it with hydropump.
It feels like it’s been forever since you’ve been gone.
Can you breathe for the first time?
Are you so moving on?
Watch him on Twitch, he's doing Pokemon stuff at least a couple times a week
Thanks to you, now I get, what I want
Dedicated, you took the time
that transition from Digging out of Blaine's gym, to the teleporter in Sabrina's was really smooth, very cool
Jrose: plays red/blue with a mewtwo
*But what if it was monke?*
Jrose: plays red/blue with a mankey
return to monke
before someone asks why he didn't teach focus energy to Mankey, Gen I's Focus Energy is bugged. Instead of increasing crit hit ratio, it actually DECREASES it!
To make Bruno more consistent, could you have mimicked harden on the first Onix to reduce damage and have a slight boost to attack?
That transition from Blaine's Gym to Sabrina's Gym was clean! Very nice!
Why in the hell is karate chop a normal move lmao, most fighting type sounding move ever
Gen 1 man
Bite and Wing Attack normal type go brrr
No Wing Attack is flying type but it has only 35 base power in Gen 1.

Absolutely slayed me XD hahahaha!
Do you ever have to reset because you accidentally let the pokemon evolve?
He plays in 2x speed (maybe more?) so I'm sure it has happened lol
Mankey brought me through some tough Brock fights. He’s a good guy.
Why on earth is karate chop a normal move?! It's literally named after a martial art.
Gen 1 gonna Gen 1 I guess
Came looking for this comment lol
"Oh wow he got to the final battle really fast, video must be almost over."
12 minutes remaining
"Oh..."
Against rival number six: shouldn't you have used agilities against rhyhorn instead of pidgeot?
Probably. Rhydon's got 1 move that can't affect the mankey, 1 move that does terrible damage, and 2 debuffs that would kill defense(which can only be lowered so much), but would also trigger the badge-boost, leading to likely sweeping the rest of the team and even one-shotting the Rhydon when he finally did attack it.
One of the most confusing things in gen 1 is that karate chop is A NORMAL MOVE
Biggest oversight the devs made. Also psychic immune to ghost lol
I know right? It's a karate move. Duh.
Jrose: Mankey could have an easy enough battle against the next trainers
Me: (checks how much time is left on the video) yeah... I don't think so...
I’m personally really looking forward to the Snorlax run. Great attack, decent special, great starting moves, and fantastic coverage.
dude mankey was one of my favs in gen 1, after a lot of years and adding 500 or so mons on top of that I honestly forgot he existed for a second..
Still awaiting a Scyther or Koffing run...
22:10
Me : Something is going wrong
Jrose11: Lore-lie (not Lore-lee)
Road to a million at 200K, love the audacity, I'm rooting for ya
The reason that the first Geodude the Hiker in Rock Tunnel used wasn't a one hit K.O. is because it used defense curl while Mankey was underground.
Graveller did not have its defense raised and its health and defense would only be slightly higher than a geodude of the same level.
Ah, yes. The good ol' times back when KARATE chop was not a fighting type move.
Bite and Gust being Normal too always trips me up when I revisit gen 1 haha
I see Monke, i click.
I see Monke and Jrose, *clicking intesifies*
"Hold on babe, jrose11 just uploaded"
I love these videos. I watch them and rewatch them.
Your voice is so calming and soothing to me, and the nostalgia factor is this perfect storm of relaxation.
6:58 the reason you knocked out the gravler is because self-destruct (and explosion) halfs your defense activating the badge boost glitch. 2 self-destructs (bc sd missing still halfs your defense) with brocks badge for increased attack made it ohko
I didn't know that sd halves defence on a miss, does it halve it permanently or just on the turn it is used, But it is cool to see that it actually affects badge boost
@@mussolini2525 the turn used gen1-5, but in gen1 it activates the badge boost glitch
No. It's because Geodude used Defense Curl giving it just enough to survive dig and Graveler didn't.
@@mussolini2525 It only halves during "damage calculations", so it basically makes it a 260 Power Move, but it says 130.
"Wow we made it past Bruno now I can relax and think about what the final battle will be like" bro your OCD/Anxiety must be through the roof.
Mankey's gen 1 sprites look like blobs with tentacles.
upsidedown tentacool lol
Don't edit your comment, if you want da likez
I'm pretty sure that crits ignore badge boosts completely, which kind of explains the damage on Rhydon. It still was probably a low roll on the crit.
That, and in gen 1, crits didn't do double damage, they doubled your level for the calculation.
@@yoseftreitman7226not quite
P I G M O N K E
True first
Jrose, you haven't "cued ice theme" in a while. I'm kind of missing it
why didn't you just mimic harden from bruno's first onix?
i'd think that makes the fight more consistent
Bruno is so infrequently a problem that I think the possibility went straight over his head. He had to think about it to start using withdraw over amnesia for lorelei after all. All these special attackers have definitely built up some muscle memory.
There's a possibility that the time would need to set up the badge boost glitch and just harden in general would provide Bruno ample time to hit him with rocks, maybe if Onix got locked into rage.
Plus, I don't think changing from paper defence to cardboard wikk make too much of a difference
@@DrFoggyPants onix just isnt a threat. You'd boost so that you'd be able to OHKO more of the them courtesy of 6 additional stacks.
@@DrFoggyPants rock throw has like 20% accuracy and even if it hits fighting resists rock and mankey will be increasing its defense every turn.
Bruno has more than one onix lmao
15:06 - That transition, though.
Reject humanity, return to Mankey, Jrose. Crack open a yellow one with us.
I get so excited when these videos come out. I immediately run and hide and watch lol
My favorite thing about your vids is the color change for whatever pokemon you're using
Road to 1,000,000! Hell yeah you deserve it bud!
Yeah, he showed on stream that the algorithm predicted something like this
6:35 whoa I never knew if your opponent faints while you're underground for DIG, then it uses the move immediately when the next pokemon comes out! Makes sense, but I just never thought about it before.
YES I WAS HOPING FOR A JROSE VID THIS MORNING
The Blaine to Sabrina warp cut messes my mind up in the best way. Very clean.
HOLY CRAP HE MISPRONOUNCED LORELEI
Bruno knows if Agatha and Lance are free. If they are, he unleshes his wrath
15:09 That was a cool edit right there. Love it.
Now in the wasteland that is post-Month of Jrose I will comfort myself by once again watching these old Vids.
This is the only one of these challenges i've attempted myself (nearly a year ago), so before the video I wanna say that I was level 70 at the end of the run, with the moves karate chop, dig, thunderbolt and body slam. (And after loading up the rom to see this, The mankey was still at 3hp so i'm guessing I had a really close final battle.) Cant wait to see how Jrose crushes my attempt!
I don't know why Jrose didn't get thunderbolt? I'm pretty sure its a one hit KO on Gyarados.
@@zeaferjones1404 Weirdly enough, it is not. Mankey's Special is an absolute trash, you really want to use physical attacks, despite not being quadruple effective. However, where I think JRose messed up little, is choosing Charizard as the rival's starter. Rock Slide is quadruple effective physical move, Charizard could never stand any chance. Blastoise would be the toughest even in case Mankey was using Thunderbolt, it's still at least two-, but mostly tree-hit KO, depending on the level
I love how it learns low kick early which makes it the best option to spanking Brock if you didn’t pick a squirtle.
