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.

No exaggeration here... this series is an instant "stop whatever I'm doing, new JRose dropped" for me
exactly what I did
Literally pulled over at a coffee shop because I couldn't wait to get home to watch it.
Same lol
More or less same, though in this case I have to wait an hour before I have time to watch it :(
same
Jrose: "I have an idea to make rival 6 easier, but it won't work against the champion"
Me: "he's mimicking agility again, isn't he?"
Jrose: "We can use mimic"
Well Considering Giovanni was literally the roadblock you had to get help from an math teacher to figure out how to beat with Weedle, I think it's still an important checkpoint like Rival 3.
New Team Rocket inspirational poster. "Your Boss Giovanni! He's nearly impossible to beat with a Weedle!"
@@wadespencer3623 he costs 5 bucks on cameo maybe
Having done a Weedle run, I feel confident in saying that "Can Stop Weedle" isn't a good justification for calling a trainer a checkpoint :p
The fact you made the rivals name "Poacher" is undoubtedly the best name you've ever chosen lmao
I love the fact that a "short" video for JRose is still over 30 minutes ❤
Watch fallout documentaries lol
That's because he beats the whole game....😮
Agreed
I love ... JRose
Fixed your comment, there.
I love his videos answers questions I've had or never would have had, plus its pretty cool to see how long each pokemon takes to beat the champion
Those critical hits at Misty were wild 😂
Lmao yeah. He was definitely getting haxed
It looked like it was destined to make next Move a Crit via Seed Data. If he had left the Gym and battled a wild pokemon, it would have cleared it out of the cache.
Makes it past staryu … crit …
He eventually got a noncrit though@@frankwargoiv7335
The reason the jump from level 12 to 13 helped so much against Brock is because of damage rounding thresholds. I learned it from the videos of another Pokemon solo runner, Scott's Thoughts, and it essentially means that reaching a level whose last digit is 3, 5, 8, or 0 will give a larger damage boost than other levels due to the way the damage calculation formula (which includes level in it) rounds damage. I don't think I've ever heard you talk about them before, and those magic numbers might be something to keep in mind for future playthroughs.
This happens because, in the damage calculation, the level influences multiplicatively, but its multiplied by 2 and divided by 5. Since all divisions are rounded down, that means that levels ending on 0, 3, 5 and 8 make a jump in the function so it increases the damage. For example:
10: 10x2 = 20, 20/5 = 4
11: 11x2 = 22, 22/5 = 4.4, rounded down to 4
12: 12x2 = 24, 24/5 = 4.8, rounded down to 4
13: 13x2 = 26, 26/5 = 5.2, rounded down to 5 (damage increases)
14: 14x2 = 28, 28/5 = 5.6, rounded down to 5
15: 15x2 = 30, 30/5 = 6 (damage increases again)
Etc...
@@erik19borgniathis is awesome
@@erik19borgnia That's honestly super interesting! I'd love for Jrose to put that in for the next time he might get stuck at Brock. Assuming he does see this, of course >w>
I thought he had already mentioned this in a previous video but I could be off with that. There are a lot of weird mechanics so they don't all get mentioned in every video. I also could have heard it somewhere else tho. Keep up the good comments in any case, folks
@@somuchnope2 That's Scott's Thought. He mentions it in almost all his videos.
7:42 I think the expression you were looking for is "The sharpening of the axe does not delay the cutting of wood."
That's a very neat proverb!
Maybe I'm stupid, but that seems incorrect... If you're tasked with (A) and you do (B) first, you are delaying (A) even if it helps you complete it faster overall.
Am I just stupid? 😂
@@KeiranTrickgo and cut a pile of wood with a dull axe...I think you'll get it
@@KeiranTrick If (A) is impossible to complete without doing (B), then you'll waste time skipping (B) and trying to complete (A) and failing because (B) wasn't completed. Then you go back and do (B) anyway, and end up spending more time than you would have if you just did (B) at the beginning.
@@KeiranTrick That's the trouble with proverbs. They say things faster than full explanations do, but they require you to infer the correct interpretation of the fewer words they use, which is also why they sometimes sound poetic; counterintuitiveness is one of the most used poetic devices. Ie. “The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long”
-normally you expect something that looks more vivacious to last longer.
In this case, the intuitive understanding would be yours: you can more quickly get to the cutting of wood if you don't sharpen your axe first, however if you measure the cutting of the wood from the completion of the task rather than the beginning, the sharpening of the axe nets you a net time save.
The semantic reason the correct interpretation is counterintuitive in this case is that 'delay' has a vague object; 'the cutting of the wood' is an activity, not a moving thing/animal/person, so the delay could really be measured from any point of the activity, however
the proverb starts off with the observer in the pre-state of both 'sharpening of the axe' and 'cutting of the wood', so our intuitive understanding of 'delay' is that it applies to a series of events that happen after each other, not a single activity.
"I did this and then this and then this, and then this happened."
-This could be viewed as a series of events or a single activity: the events don't have a distinct time dimension, while the activity consists of events that provide the time dimension.
At the end of the proverb, it asks the interpreter to interpret 'delay' with the observer in the post-state of both actions and also to interpret them as two different permutations of one activity: 'the cutting of the wood without sharpening the axe first' and 'the cutting of the wood with a prior sharpening of the axe'.
I hope this made sense. I use 'event' and 'activity' in a pretty specific sense here. It's how we use them in semantics, and they are a bit abstracted from their usual sense; like, of course, events take time, but the way we describe them with our language makes them seem like nouns even though they should be verbs, and nouns are archetypically objects, people, animals, and other things that we normally characterise by their spatial dimensions rather than their temporal ones. It would be weird to answer "what is a cheetah?" with "8 to 10 years presuming a survived infancy", but that is basically the inverse of what we do when we describe actions as events.
I suspect that the reason we do this is a result of a brain capacity-saving move. Events are simpler to process than activities because they are less complex.
Sometimes I see an enemy Pokémon use a strong one-hit move and I go “how is that fair at all??” then I remember the game fully expects you to not be using just one Pokémon for your entire run
Alright but consider this: Giovanni as gym 8 abuses an...interesting mechanic, where OHKO moves are affected by X Accuracy, which allows them to bypass accuracy checks. His Dugtrio knows fissure.
@@ssjbread2803ok
@@ssjbread2803 Only Rhydon knows Fissure in Red, Blue, Green. It's only in Yellow where Dugtrio knows Fissure. :) He also only has a Guard Spec for each Pokémon. So you must be thinking of a mod or romhack you played that buffed Giovannis AI
@@ssjbread2803 In addition nolongeraperson, high speed does not bypass accuracy accuracy checks for OHKO moves. At least in RGB, Y might be different. If the user has lower speed than the target it's a guarantee miss. If the user has higher speed, it then proceeds as a regular attack, with accuracy check.
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 I see. Well, that can be fixed with x accuracy, which makes your OHKOs a sure-hit move.
Jrose: "It feels bad relying on a 20% miss chance"
Also Jrose:"If we get hit with sand attack, it's a reset"
Though, sand attack is on the *first* pokemon, so it is a quicker reset...
there is no guarantee that the rival will use sand attack, but hydro pump will always be used because it is super effective.
djinn :)
Sand Attack failing is 25%, and there's a chance that it's not used at all, so it's a lot less luck
Just imagine Red shouting HORN ATTACK, HORN ATTACK,HORN ATTACK,HORN ATTACK,HORN ATTACK,HORN ATTACK for like 30 minutes
i like when you narrate the giovanni 1 fight, especially for mons like rhyhorn that had a hard time with brock because it provides a nice display of how much easier brock would be if you had better moves.
Rhyhorn learning more and better special moves than 80% of the Pokedex is such a Gen 1 moment. Love the videos Jrose!
It's hilarious.
Absol: BROTHER
Ice Beam was occasionally used in competitive battles with Rhydon for getting random freezes.
@@SimonFrackBlizzard too.
There is actually an expression about time similar to the one you used. It goes something like "The most reliable way to waste time is to try and save it."
It refers to trying to do things quickly, but ending up having to spend even more time later on to compensate for the quick, easy, and/or sloppy job you made of something earlier.
The fact that JRose is up to gen 1 #78 is crazy. Slowly, slowly approaching that finish line...
Over halfway!
Only 78?? I started watching in late 2020 and I thought I was late to the game!
I always liked how Rock Slide in Gen 1 looks like you’re a DBZ character hitting that power spike where the rocks start to float around you
I like how Rhyhorn took out its frustration of suffering all those Misty crits by critting two of Surge's pokemon lol
Thought this would be the video where the ending would be cut out and a part 2 would continue it. I still await that day.
These last videos have come out in quick succession.. is this the ramp up for another "Month of JRose"?😁
Oh man that was amazing. Probably not for him or AJ tho
I love Rhyhorn and Rhydon but I never end up using them in the games they're in. They just don't learn much and tend to show up long after my team has solidified. I'm happy to see Rhyhorn did so well in the Jrose challenge!
I tend to use a Geodude/Graveler as my physical tank, so when I get to the Safari Zone, it's just a straight replace my Graveler for a Rhyhorn. Then teach him Earthquake, and you're off to the races!
I used one in pokemon crystal legacy recently. The only thing that could beat red's snorlax
Rhydon is a staple of the Gen 1 Over Used meta. He annihilates electric types like Jolteon and Zapdos.
@@Spanishdog17 Pretty much this. Golem's only niche over it is Explosion. It also helps that it has the strongest physical move with no real drawbacks in STAB Earthquake and hits hard in general. Just sucks that in a Gen 1 playthrough they're obtained so late in the game.
I appreciate that JRose is more willing to level up than he used to be. You would drive yourself crazy trying to beat a fight with a zubat and no leveling until you absolutely had to.
14:00 JRose, I would like to mention a small mistake here on the badge boost strategy you thought off to beat Rival 4's Gyarados using harden against Pidgeotto: Up to that point you only had Brock and Surge badges that would give badge boost, and while common sense and in-game text say thunder badge gives a speed boost, it's actually a defense boost, Koga's badge is the one that gives a speed boost. In other words, even if you got harden and used that to badge boost glitch your rhyhorn, it wouldn't outspeed Gyarados because it wouldn't get any badge boosts in speed, only in attack and defense. This was probably a mistake by Gamefreak since they fixed that in Generation 3 remakes.
I cannot wait for all 147 (or whatever) Pokemon gen 1 challenge vids to be released and watch them back to back over several days
151, and it could be that a few of the earlier ones might be repeated to compensate for the massive expertise gained by doing all these challenges!
This game is basically an endless source of content.
@@BigSlimyBlob152! Jrose already did a Missingno video :-)
@@BigSlimyBlobNot all of those Pokemon are doable. It's impossible with Caterpie, Metapod, Kakuna, and Magikarp, and Magikarp was already done.
@@robertlunderwood I suppose, if you discount those that cannot do the challenge, it does add up to 147! I know some guy did Beedle (after thousands of attempts).
@@BigSlimyBlob nobody's done Weedle without items. it would statistically take many lifetimes of attempts on Agatha. if you're referring to a German RUclipsr who supposedly did it, he hides the beginning of the battle where he definitely used X Attacks because Weedle does a lot more damage than it's supposed to.
16:09
Jrose11: "We one-shot every one of Koga's Pokémon"
Koga's Weezing on 1HP: Am I a joke to you? *cough wheeze*
A 90 lb doofus flailed his paw and scratched my cornea from the center to the edge and now I'm struggling to open both eyes since light going in one somehow hurts the other. So I'm glad I have a video where literally everything is narrated to me, thank you JRose. 😂
Sure
Most looking forward to Farfetch'd and Mr. Mime. Both should be fairly good. Also Clefable/clefairy with their fast level up and metronome gamble vs brock will be fun.
22:24 - "Sabrina leads with everyone's favourite Pokemon: Kadabra."
Not only is my favourite Pokemon *not* Kadabra, it actually *is* Rhyhorn. Incredible coincidence that of all videos to use that line in, you chose to use it here lmao
Gotta love that feeling when you're watching something else and a new JRose video notification pops up and you immediately switch over 😎
I was watching an old Jrose video.... lol
Same thing happened to me
Guilty as charged. XD
After 20 years I’m still not sure what I’m looking at whenever I see the R/B Rhyhorn front sprite
28:24 Hey, that was actually me who asked that, lol! Was surprised that the topic was brought up in the video!
Love the vids, dude!
Great video as always! That leveling up strategy you applied pretty much throughout the entire run was the wisdom and experience you gained over the course of all these runs you'v done already
He's going to restart the whole list as his methods refined so much
at the very end it was so obvious that if he'd battled even a few less trainers, Rhyhorn could not have won. I think this is a situation where the route was as good as it was going to be, maybe aside from beating Surge and getting Fly a bit earlier for convenience.
Yeah, I imagine this would have been a nightmare if this was one of the first runs JRose did.
Surge's Raichu has Surf on Stadium 2.
Great video as always!
Hey man I just want to say. I picked up on your content s few years ago, and haven’t stopped since. I love watching you problem solve and work your way around these games sober and over again. I’m not burnt out, or bored. I love your channel !
Those Misty fights at 9:30 are the funniest thing I've seen in a while lmao
A great way to finish your birthday with a new JRose video! Been a fan since your first video with Bulbasaur during COVID. Thanks for all your hard work with your videos. Your fans appreciate it.
Thanks a lot for doing these videos ❤
I love watching your videos while eating ❤ its like my little daily routine
I clicked on the email notif for this expecting a literal RUclips short giving a TL;DR, looks like I know how I'm spending my evening!
Always watch these videos before bed. Love the content man keep it up!
God i love these videos, thanks for so many lately
"Short video" = 34 minutes run time.
Dude you are a gem, please don't change ❤
My bf even loves you now too!!
Thank you so much Jrose. I have been watching your videos for more than 2 years now and I am really hyped for the very last one of this series. I'm sure I will cry when it's over but I'm also looking forward to what you have planned for after the series. Just keep going the way you make your videos, they are just amazing :)
Just as an idea for an even more interesting comparism between the runs: You could differentiate between level groups AND base form/mid form/fully evolved in the end to see who is the best in each category
Always a happy time, when a new video drops. Thank you=)
always a good day when a new video drops, I love your stuff man
Always a good day when Jrose uploads
The consistency is unreal. Love your Videos Jrose!😄
Omg. Been waiting for this!! Tried it a few times and gave up so happy to see it
Love hearing @MyNewSoundtrack remixes!
Great way to start a brand new week having JRose on a Monday 😂👌🏾
Everyone loves Rhydon for being a classic, and I love Rhyperior for being an absolute unit of a Pokémon. Let this video be a reminder to us all that the Rhyhorn line is pretty damn cool
Fun fact...Rhydon was the first Pokemon designed.
Nah I think most millennials who remember Gen 1like me hate what they did with Magmortar, Rhyperior, Electivire etc
Never been impressed with their designs.
the Ryhorn line is cool, but underatted :(
Rhyperior became my favorite Pokemon when I battled a friend who used a Rhyperior I raised up for him. It was a neck and neck battle, I started losing, brought down to only my Mega Blastoise, who did WORK on the remainder of my friends team, leaving only said Rhyperior. We both just looked at each other like "Bro, it's over. I win."
But no, the beast tanks my attack with only 1/4 of it's health missing, the countering Earthquake ending the match. We were both so convinced it was a bug or glitch or something, we spent the rest of the day working out the math of the attacks. Rhyperior really is that beastly to take a Mega-Launcher boosted, 4x effective attack and not even blink.
Ok, now that’s absurd.
I’ve come to learn how much of a beast Rhyperior is. I’m currently using it in a mod of Platinum, and it is putting in work, especially when pairing it with a Drought summoner. Hits like an absolute truck, tanks physical hits like a champ, and can handle some special hits. It just barely handled stuff like Alakazam Focus Blast and Pelipper Hydro Pump while being underleveled
New Jrose videos always make my day. I love passively listening while I'm working.
What the heck Jrose! The video was short so I thought Rhyhorn must be amazing, but he wasn't very amazing at all! You really got me this time
Been looking forward to this one! Thanks jrose!
Misty: "So anyway, I started criting"
Excellent vid once again dude, love these.
Just checked the geodude video to see if I was subscribe at the time. Turn out I discover you in november, 6 months after it first air. Time fly so fast! While comparing geodude run to this one, man the quality of your videos have improve so much! Send you a wave of love for keeping up with those amazing runs!
7:52 I think this is the first time in this entire series he goes to this part of the S.S. Anne.
I mean, besides the implication that he battled and defated EVERY NPC in the Weedle run, that'd be the only time he went to those routes south of Lavender.
JRose, I love your videos. I only have one question for you. What would you do if you were to play an optimal, "as always", Favorite run? What would that look like? The way your brain works, I am fascinated with how you would digest this request. w
LOL i just posted a video that kinda answers that!
Whoo! Another Jrose video, I was rewatching the Chuckle video last night.
I’ve been watching this series for so long and I never get tired of it always exciting to see a new jrose upload 👀
I love these soooo much!! It made me try a wartortle run on ye old clear purple gameboy(red version) …….. it was fun!!!!
It's a shame that you don't have the Real Time listed on your tier chart. It would really help to show how much of the time is luck based and how much a pokemon has a consistent strategy.
I've said this for some time. He says that it's not fair to the pokemon since it's rng..but that also goes to the positive rng too. The real time should be there to show who the true champions are.
Man, you got me with the title! I was certain you had done what you've threatened in the past, ending the video right BEFORE the Elite 4.
Holy crap I only just noticed how you number your videos in the thumbnail
I opened this app for the express purpose of watching another video. When I saw this in my feed, I instantly forgot about that other video lol. Thanks for the content, Jrose!
Rival 5 actually was pretty lucky. The winning battle had a speed tie, and it kind of needing it. Venusaur lost the tie in the first turn when Rhyhorn went underground, but then won the tie the next turn, making it miss razer leaf. This needed to happen or you lost.
Man i was waiting for this one
I had a pokemon video on my phone while I was setting up for work for the day. I check my desktop and see that the Jrose video dropped and STOPPED WATCHING A POKEMON VIDEO TO WATCH THIS POKEMON VIDEO. Jrose these are so good thank you for doing what you do!
I would love to eventually see Gen 2 Pokémon games! Great series even though I don’t play anymore it’s cool watching these videos!
34:12 In hindsight: in Gen 3, you'd have to max out the right EV's before you even considered fighting Brock, so it's... technically a more consistent set-up, but even more tedious, _AND_ you have to take into account that certain Pokemon will be forced to take in unhelpful EV's from mandatory trainers, like the "grinding for Ralts' Special EV's" situation in one of your Impossible Challenge videos.
My favorite RUclips channel currently. 🔥
Thanks bro. Appreciate you
my wife and i who both used to do solo runs independently LOVE watching this series and you inspire me to make content of stuff i love. thanks jrose!
The back sprite is bizarre
Great job Jrose I had a feeling that rhyhorn will do better than geodude and keep up the amazing work
The crits meme and different creative ways to abuse the badge boosts made this video very entertaining! Thx
I've been waiting for this episode since the beginning of your epic journey
Good to see you having fun making these videos😂❤
Jesus...strats on top of strats ...love the content!
No, Jrose, I think you might be attempting to hornswaggle me.
This was like a double bluff; given the video title, I thought for sure that this would be the time where the video ends early and there's a part 2.
This is by no means a criticism of your Rhyhorn play, but I just felt like doing some research and I found that rival 4’s Gyarados has 45 Speed (factoring in level 23 and 8 DVs). Based on Rhyhorn’s stats by then, you’d probably have to be around level 40 to outspeed Gyarados, which would mean fighting every trainer and/or using the available Rare Candies. For the record, this is only relevant if you want as consistent (within reason because technically Rock Slide can miss) results with Rhyhorn as are possible. Just felt like sharing and maybe something to consider when ranking Rhyhorn. Great video as always!
If he trains on high base speed Pokémon like Diglett, the stat XP could get him there a few levels earlier!
n1 , did it myself few days ago... thought it would go smoother but i guess i forgot how slow this thing is
I can watch and even rewatch jrose vids for hours. Thanks for all the great content and keep it up!
That was better than expected. I lowkey thought that the short video length meant that it was impossible 😂
Also that Champion battle was fantastic!
Always a pleasure to see another gen 1 solo run. Definitely is a strong one but I had a feeling misty might prove a challenge for it. May the day meet you kindly. And as always looking forward to the next one.
Interesting what you say about XP candies, but personally, they're the thing I HATE the most about newer games. Rare candies actually have some strategy to them, but Xp candies can just be used on any pokemon at any time for the same benefit. It means you dont even have to use a pokemon at all (not even switch training) to level it up! I get that its less grindy, but things like XP candies and XP share mean I only end up using one or two of the 6 pokemon on my team, execpt for important battles. In older games, I rotate through my team to level them up, which I think makes way more sense since I am actually using all of them.
I just started watching your videos and can’t believe I caught a new one just as it comes out! Keep it going man!
Great video as usual 😊
All this about 5x badge boost sounds like in early Dragon Ball with Goku using Kaiokens to surpass a hard opponent
Love it. Thanks Jrose
"Sometimes you need to spend time to save time" Jrose
Df lol hahaha another episode? Ty can't wait to get home n watch
Yesssss! I love this Pokémon sooo much!
I love that i can actually listen to these at work.
this series helped maintain my sanity finishing up paramedic school where my commute to some hospitals was +1hr
My dude has a formula that is fun to watch!
Listened to solo run videos at work, come home to a new one. Nice
Love your content.
Oh boy another jrose video! Makes me excited for the month of jrose.
