      Also helps that while Pichu's stats are bad, it's best stat of speed at 60 really helps. If you can go first, there is always a chance to win.

    A funny anecdote on the “Gen 2 miss”: it actually *is* a thing, but it’s almost invisible. There’s still a 1/256 chance to miss every secondary status condition, including supposedly guaranteed ones like Zap Cannon. Since those kinds of moves tend to be awful, this glitch may as well not exist in practice, but it’s amusing nonetheless

      @@chrisdaignault9845 Of all the babies in Gen II, only Pichu and Togepi have full body back sprites, though a few regular Pokémon got them, too: Zubat, Magnemite, Ledyba, Unown, Qwilfish. Several more are very nearly full back sprites but are just barely cut off at the bottom, such as Diglett, Oddish, Mew, and Igglybuff. I find it funny that Voltorb didn't quite get a full back sprite despite being the perfect candidate for it!
      I think the main contributing factor for the leap in back sprite quality between Gen I and Gen II is the fact that Gen I, for whatever reason, used half resolution back sprites that were only 28 pixels tall/wide. Each pixel was scaled up 2x to match the enemy's front-facing 56 x 56 sprites, leaving so much blockiness and little room for detail. Gen II designed back sprites with the full 56 x 56 sprite size in mind from the beginning.

    Having Hidden Power Ice means you had 14 or 15 HP, 15 Attack, 13 Defense, 15 Speed, and any possible Special for DVs, with Hidden Power being 66, 67, 68, 69, or 70 base power, based on the Special DV

    10:33 - This scene right here seems like this run in a nutshell. Pichu can get all the luck in the world (70% thunder hit, 30% paralyze), but with such bad stats, it can’t even hit hard enough to guarantee a win, and all it takes is a little bad luck (37.5% chance of paralyzed DynamicPunch) to lose it all.

    Jrose popping these out on the daily. I can't go to bed at night until I catch them. Last night I stayed up late knowing one was coming out. Electrode went hard. I was a little late to work this morning but this man's content is a lifestyle at this point so the6 gonna have to deal with it.

    I personally love the long videos. I know its prob hard to make long videos. But I like to put it on and listen and fall asleep at night. But I also rewatch the videos during the day lol
