Really appreciate the shoutout! I was very happy I was able to catch a stream and even got to witness a PB! Great video! It was a lot of fun watching you improving over the week, and even earn yourself a super respectable time! Looking forward to your next challenge :)
Minimum battles speedrun when? :P (In seriousness this is extremely impressive, and it's so great you're introducing speedrunning to a massive audience!)
As a big fan of Pokemon speed running for years, your format for videos is perfect to give the beginner information ins a digestible and entertaining fashion. Love how meticulous you are!
Dude Johnstone, thank you for doing what you do. I just finished a Professor Oak challenge on a physical cartridge of Sapphire today. Your videos are super fun and informative, and you have a fantastic way with explanations and humor. Funnily I've had to rewatch some videos because of the late hour and I found myself being lulled to sleep by your voice. Hey, maybe as a future video you could find an original Prima's Official Strategy Guide and read the whole thing cover to cover to help us Poké-insomniacs sleep dude! Thanks for doing what you do man, good night!
Hey, just feel like letting you know, this was probably my favourite video of yours. Just seeing the shift in style and the genuine progress was really fun.
"The term any% is generally directed at games that show you the completion in percentages, such as Elder scrolls and Fallout" ->Picks two game series that DON'T track the completion in percentages
This is actually really cool and encouraging for anyone wanting to just try to get into speedrunning. I find it such a daunting thing to try and tackle but this makes it look very much doable.
John, I love seeing your face on your videos now! It really adds personality to your channel in a great way. Keep up the awesome content! I appreciate your work ethic.
"If he goes for Sky Attack you'll have to full restore" Full restores remove all your stat boosts in RBY though which would remove your x speed/accuracy. Hyper potion instead
I really like that you insist so much on the time these things take. Speedrunning always looks glamorous from the outside, but I really appreciate that you show it how it is - a grueling, terrifying, exhausting grind of perfectly timed inputs that you need to carve into your muscle memory... Thank you for your sacrifice. Don't forget to get your 8h per night please. :-)
Speedrunning...something I have no tenacity (to attempt) but massive respect for. The fact you managed a top 300 in a week... *Guinness World Records wants to have an interview* lolz
I'm unsure if that would be very good, as there are only 500 runners. Maybe others just put more time into it. I'm surprised how low a 2:0X is, which in my opinion is pretty dang good. For context Mario times are a LOT LESS OPTIMIZED in the middle of the pack.
Honestly I'm glad you went with any% glitchless... personally I enjoy watching any speedruns, even ones with arbitrary code execution and things like that, because the precision is always beyond impressive. However, the comment sections on those videos are always spammed with "well this is stupid it doesn't take talent to just cheat through the game" comments and it's nice not to have to read those. Fantastic work improving your PBs in such a short time, hoping to see you go even further with speedrunning!
This has really made my day. I have been looking into doing a Destiny 1/ Destiny 2 NG Any% but I wasn't as motivated. Your video has made me want to do it again.
I would love to see John do a Catchless run of FireRed or Platinum, where you can't catch any Pokémon, only using those gifted to you or bought (though you can trade if you've received the trade material Pokémon, i.e. buying an abra from the games corner and trading for a Mr.Mime)
A pretty cool goal you reached in just under a week! The game I've been speed running for a long while, is: "Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts." I've played the game since I was very young, and I've never gotten tired of it. Speed running is truly a challenge, even with games that normally wouldn't be difficult... It just so happens though, that my speedrun choice is also incredibly difficult.
2:32 Last I checked, and I should know, I play them a lot, Elder Scrolls and Fallout don't show you percentage completion. At all. A better example would've been Donkey Kong Country 2, since it actually shows you the percentage on your save file on the file select screen.
Casual Pokemon speedrunning is fun and actually quite easy. I remember beating Pokemon Red in under 4 hours as a kid, before I even knew what speedrunning was.
I was just watching a video on the World Record speed run earlier today, and then saw you did a video on it as well. I am definitely considering trying this. Haha
John, thank you very much for your videos, it is always a pleasure to see them. Maybe you can do a HOW EASILY YOU CAN SPEEDRUN series with all pokemon generations.
I always say that Gen 1 Pokemon is held together with Paper Mache, Hopes, and Dreams. The fact that he opened up with "this whole game can be completed in just over a minute made me chucklr
Hey Johnstone, i just found your videos last week and there really great. One thing, could you do like a video about how easily you can do all contests? Or do you have one already that i can't find? Also if you end up making one, don't do ORAS contests as they're easy, so i would say do emerald contests or platinum super contests.
Hey John I have an interesting but fun challenge. In short your doing a play through of Pokémon FireRed with Red’s team from the Manga. The finish condition is catching Mewtwo in the shortest amount of time The following Pokémon is required before completing the challenge *Pokemon Team* Bulbasuar-Venasuar Poliwhirl-Poliwrath Pikachu Snorlax Magikarp-Gyarados Aerodactyl Eevee(You can choose anyone of its 3 evolutions as it possessed the ability to switch between forms in the Manga, or just leave it as an Eevee :\) You can switch between Eevee &Aerodactyl as you wish Other Pokémon that you can use before the required Pokémon Nidaran-Nidorino(sadly no nidoking though) Diglett *Rules* 1) You must get the required Pokémon as soon as possible and use them 2) When you have the required Pokémon they cannot be removed from the team(the only exception is switching Eevee and Aerodactyl) 3) HM moves must be put onto Main Team Pokémon, No HM slaves 4) Items are not allowed in battle 5) Pokeballs for captures only 6) Mewtwo must be caught with the Masterball I hope you attempt this since it’s just a fun challenge to do all together. And I wonder how fast you can complete it if you do attempt this.
Very impressive. Still hoping for the How long would it take to get your starter to level 100 before the first gym without tricks or glitches video. Keep up the great work.
Really nice video really enjoyed it I have a comment to make about your use of the fast text exploit. It was decided by the community that runs that use this are considered to be any% no major glitches while any% glitchless does ban its use
Really appreciate the shoutout! I was very happy I was able to catch a stream and even got to witness a PB! Great video! It was a lot of fun watching you improving over the week, and even earn yourself a super respectable time! Looking forward to your next challenge :)
AAAAA I LOVE YOU SHEN!
Minimum battles speedrun when? :P (In seriousness this is extremely impressive, and it's so great you're introducing speedrunning to a massive audience!)
Jrose11, making speed runs more difficult than the have to be lol
Collab when?
This dude didnt use the badge boost glitch once in his speedrun smh
Imagine not calling the Silph Co. rival "Rival Fivel."
This message was brought you by Jrose gang.
Solo pokemon, minimum battles, no exp mod
Champion A: ah my rival A! You are going dow-
A: gives his Pokémon A a X accuracy
A: Use Horn Drill!
Champion A: oh shi-
*A*
A
F
A
haha horn drill goes brrrrrrrzzzrrr
Wait, John’s a real person?
We were all suprised
Hes a trainer
He also is a real person.
Nah thats an actor
I always thought he was just the avatar
He’s the only youtuber that has a face that matches his voice.
Thank god im not the only one thinking this
Grian from hermitcraft
am i the only one who thinks his face doesnt fit his voice ;;
@@sansmeows you're not alone
actually I imagined him way different
Its so different hearing his voice here than live
Check one of his long videos (example : the catch em all stuffs) then compare his voice at the beginning and during the middle of the video
The formal and informal difference is pretty W E T
So weird his avatar doesnt have makeup lmao
One is an avatar the other has a big brain covering his real face
This is exactly what i wanted to say!
50 minutes of Pure Johntent Pog
Two of my favourite content creators at once! Nice
Hehey solem supppp
I like how dude kept grinding, I watched homie go from averaging 20k per video to 60k in hours it’s crazy how much he grew

This is actually really cool and encouraging for anyone wanting to just try to get into speedrunning. I find it such a daunting thing to try and tackle but this makes it look very much doable.
I would really like for you to keep speedrunning Red and Blue, this was probably my favorite video of yours!
John, I love seeing your face on your videos now! It really adds personality to your channel in a great way. Keep up the awesome content! I appreciate your work ethic.
"If he goes for Sky Attack you'll have to full restore" Full restores remove all your stat boosts in RBY though which would remove your x speed/accuracy. Hyper potion instead
Was it a bug or an intended mechanic?
Full Restores only remove stat boosts when they are used at full HP (plus the current route doesn't use Hyper Potions)
the fact that you done this in one week is insane to me, you are a legend dude
Amazing sir! You've definitely planted the itch in me to give this a run! It was between this and learning Earthbound!
Keep this series going I love watching speedruns
I absolutely loved this video. It really makes me want to go home and do some speedrunning!
I really hope this becomes a series to at least gen 4. Great video!
It's so cool to see how you do so many different challenges.
You keep refreshing yourself and with that you never cease to entertain.
It's wild to see Pokemon speedrunning covered by a huge RUclipsr. Thanks for bringing attention to the community!
Speedrunning is super fun, the improvements, and the struggles that come with it! Pretty fun.
i did not expect this at all, but im glad that you did it.
Absolutely brilliant mate such a fun watch!! Can't wait for a speed run of platinum!!
John: Our next rival is going to be on route 22
Jrose11 fans: Do you mean rival fival? ;)
rival fival is at silph co
Never thought I'd see Rival Fival comments in other people's videos. You guys are awesome lol.
@@Jrose11 We comment about it during the run LOL
What a madlad, doing johntent for both of his channels
37:23 "Everything went pretty well until" ... SHE walked in lol
Who is she?
@@redryu4068 His girlfriend
This was awesome. It makes speedruns more relatable. Really enjoyed the video.

You made a lot of progress really quickly, good work man :)
Another thing I like is how you're somehow always smiling, even when deeply focused on your run :-D
Who would have guessed that John was a 14 year old boy.
What, why? 😂
You’d think that he would have aged really poorly with all of the ridiculous shit he does on this channel haha.
This is my favorite video of yours. Love you John

After watching all the streams I want to say that the improvement you made is amazing
Super interesting! You might just have become my favorite channel on RUclips. Keep it up my man!
Huge achievement, great vid, awesome job. You've really outdone yourself with this.
This has really made my day. I have been looking into doing a Destiny 1/ Destiny 2 NG Any% but I wasn't as motivated. Your video has made me want to do it again.
Good luck!
16:34 you forgot to explain why speed runners want red bar
so do you know why?
I think its so theres no delay during a level up you can skip the jingle that plays when leveling up
@@solidzack no its bcuz it makes all text instant text
man i just love watching you do things that make you happy
Loving this stream / video mix. Thanks for the upload and work included!
100% honest this is one of the best poketubers. the others are either annoying or sellouts but you generally have more enjoyable content.
I hope to see more of these. And also looking forward to the x and y video!
I would love to see John do a Catchless run of FireRed or Platinum, where you can't catch any Pokémon, only using those gifted to you or bought (though you can trade if you've received the trade material Pokémon, i.e. buying an abra from the games corner and trading for a Mr.Mime)
This is some good work and dedication! Keep it up! :)
This turned out to be a very enjoyable video to watch, i'm very impressed.
Cool video, interesting to see you getting better at these runs. Keep trying!

I love it when im getting recommended videos from years ago and when they showed their sub count at 1:55 it had over doubled since then
43:04
John: [talking about his run]
Me: KITTY! =D
Yo guys I’m straight and I’m a guy but damn Johnstone you looking hella fine
All g if you wear socks- A bi man
same, I'm straight and lift weights and even take roids (I'm a construction worker on the side) but Johnstone be looking kinda cute tho
@@Ayoutubeaccount3 don't take roids please. It's bad for your health.
@Koba you can say a guy is hot without being gay.
I'm a gay man and I approve your message
Casual Pokemon speedrunning is fun and actually quite easy. I remember beating Pokemon Red in under 4 hours as a kid, before I even knew what speedrunning was.
Dude these videos are legendary. Thanks so much for these videos!
Great content as always! I need to follow your streams
I was just watching a video on the World Record speed run earlier today, and then saw you did a video on it as well. I am definitely considering trying this. Haha
Love this new type of content!
When Johnstone and Mah dry bread upload on the same day:
Stonks 📈
Tbh I had to watch johns first. He hasn’t uploaded as much and mdb does it every week
John, thank you very much for your videos, it is always a pleasure to see them. Maybe you can do a HOW EASILY YOU CAN SPEEDRUN series with all pokemon generations.
It's impressing how short these games can get if you breeze through them
Werster is amazing I'm sad he doesn't run rb anymore
I only watch him sometimes, why isnt he speedrunning it anymore? Too RNG heavy?
@@RealEppstore oh he still does just different pokemon games he just hasn't run red or blue for a while
@@aetherius6221 yeah, i was asking for blue/red specifically with the "it". I assume it is because of the bullshit rng.
It’s only a matter of time until our boy John gets a world record isn’t it?
did anyone else notice that at 17:00 the sprite turned into a bunch of letters?
I always say that Gen 1 Pokemon is held together with Paper Mache, Hopes, and Dreams. The fact that he opened up with "this whole game can be completed in just over a minute made me chucklr
When you Just found out that one of your favorite youtubers stream
yes
this is the one I have been looking for cause I am playing this game right now.
Also you are really good, where do you find the time to grind?
quarantine probably
@@mellow6751 eh not just for the challenges in quarantine.
Hey Johnstone, i just found your videos last week and there really great. One thing, could you do like a video about how easily you can do all contests? Or do you have one already that i can't find? Also if you end up making one, don't do ORAS contests as they're easy, so i would say do emerald contests or platinum super contests.
I watch Shen and Chris Alllll the time. Amazing blokes. Really fun to watch!
Content just keeps getting better
Jon is the next generation of Poketubers and the future seems so bright
For anyone NOT subscribed to John’s 2nd channel, I’d HIGHLY recommend it as his platinum nuzlock vids are THE BEST content in a while!💜
One of your best video bro. Much respect
41:10 Loralai used rest because its super effective againts Nidoking
He has such an adorable face and this makes me want to speedrun now
His face or the Video?

Very impressive. Still hoping for the How long would it take to get your starter to level 100 before the first gym without tricks or glitches video. Keep up the great work.
Its super satisfying to see speedrun stuff work as it is supposed to. But all these manips are very scary for me
That moment with the Freeze effect on Giovanni. You lucky sod!
I like seeing you talk directly ^^ you did awesome~
U been going crazy love the videos 🙌
I've never seen your face before, but your avatar seems very accurate. BUT your avatars hair, it has to be way darker...
It's pink now, so not anymore
MrWatchAndwatch oh he’s one of those “men”
Speedrunning a Johnstone Video
Amazing video john keep up the amazing work
Anyone else listening at 0.75x speed? :D
But joking aside, great video, great content!
Definitely gonna try the Any% Glitchless myself at some point now. Thanks a lot :)
Really nice video really enjoyed it I have a comment to make about your use of the fast text exploit. It was decided by the community that runs that use this are considered to be any% no major glitches while any% glitchless does ban its use
would've loved to see a comparison between your splits and "professional" ones
This was a really cool video idea executed very well!
more of this pls
A long video, YES! The more Johnstone, the better
Summoning salt already caught me up with the tricks so it's fun seeing johnnyboi bedoingthat
I'm like : That face didn't match his voice at all !
They when he speak : OMG he looks exactly how he sound.
hhhh好可爱的名字
Love your headset john i have the exact same one but your silver is red for me actually yours is a cleaner look imo
Well done John!
