Considering I'm color blind... yeah no thanks. I'm glad he didn't go through with it. I also like Porygon. Glad it's getting the spotlight this video. Unfortunately, I can never use it because of the ridiculous requirement to get it... 9,999 coins at the Game Corner is far too much effort and time consuming that I end up giving up on it.
As someone who has watched literally this entire series, I totally understand the fatigue of explaining badge boost glitch every time, but I also know how important it is for new viewers. I think it'd be a good idea to have a text box graphic that you can paste into the side of each video when you mention the glitch that explains it briefly. That way they can pause it if they're curious, and if we already know we don't really need to pay attention to it. Glad you're still doing these, you're doing the Lord's work!
I have bittersweet memory of Porygon: Before any guides, I did the legit gambling to "earn" Porygon from the game counter as a kid, no joke on Pokemon Red. Thinking that Porygon has to be some all powerful digital god pokemon worthy of a party spot and that amount of time. After all, they made it so expensive and kinda hidden in a way. When I got it, I was so disappointed I didn't play for a week. And if you asked my parents 1 week of not playing was crazy because I always had a a gameboy color in my hand and a pokemon game in that gameboy color. Later on in life, I participated in small prize online pokemon tourney's and won around ~$1000 over a year (don't quit your day job) with a trickroom Porygon 2 with eviolite. Which is still 1 of my all time favorite pokemon to this day. I nickname all my Porygon 2's "Digital Ducky" because they're all cute computer rubber duckies :D Thank you jrose for the vid and to anyone that reads this. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.
I absolutely love the remixed music. Also, Porygon is a total badass. It sent real life people to the hospital AND can wall Snorlax in competitive. 10/10 would pay 9999 coins again
@@theschnozzler Yeah I know, but it's a meme at this point to blame a Pokémon for another's misdeeds (i.e. Darkrai's Dark Void nerf because of Smeargle)
@@josephsmith2417what clarafinn probably meant was that there never have been seizures in europe because the episode never aired there. Afaik most of the seizures happened in japan.
Just report him for misinformation and ignore him. I, too, have epilepsy and I spent 3 days in a hospital under supervised care while they tried to induce a seizure to better understand my epilepsy. Guess what they used? A flashing strobe light... so if you want to go call those doctors, "libtards", be my guest.
Goldeen normally gets Waterfall very late, at level 37 which is generally the point when Jrose gets Surf in his Water-type Pokemon runs. Obviously, Surf is a better move (it has 10 base power more), but I can see HM03 being used as a Max Ether of sorts for Waterfall (Waterfall is not that much worse, so it may make sense to replace the move when its PP gets low).
I love Porygon, he's my favorite of all the mons even 20 years later. Saw him on a trading card and he immediately caught my eye with that wonderful card art! Also, Porygon didn't cause the seizures during that banned episode. JUSTICE FOR PORYGON!
Somehow you make all of these videos really entertaining, great job. I just imagine you playing the game for hours on end to finish these challenges and narrating to yourself as you grind lmao "I go for tackle, I knock it out. My phone rings, I knock IT out"
Apart from a run with a pokémon I literally never used and never bothered getting I can't help but feel that in this one, jrose commentary is way calmer than in other runs. I think it's more soothing that way. Anyone else? Also keep those vids coming
Almost half way there. That's pretty cool. Also, for Conversion. Even if the AI isn't silly, you're trading 33% of the damage you deal on STAB for a 50% damage reduction from the opponent's best attacks. And with the AI manipulation stuff, you can trick the AI into just not using its good moves at all. Sounds pretty strong to me, even if coverage and buffs are more important. And that's without factoring that you're not using normal type attacks much with Porygon. Mathematically, you gain a number of turns by using it against any opponent that isn't one-shot by your attacks.
Conversion was useful in gen 7 because it could be powered up into Z-conversion, which would change your type (usually into ghost for the fighting immunity) and give you an omni boost (+1 to all stats).
Porygon is such a cool Pokémon and I’m happy to see you using it in its original form! Spoilers below: I did have some thoughts (not necessarily criticisms). If one could hold on to Conversion for Erika, then using that could exploit her “good AI” and make her Victreebel use PoisonPowder repeatedly, as was seen in places like Oddish and Bellsprout. Also because Psychic is more or less useless vs the champion, I think using the Tri Attack TM could have gotten better damage outputs vs Alakazam, maybe half. Of course I’m always excited for a new Jrose video and I’m excited to see what comes next!
With regards to the burn heal, there is a full restore right next to the staircase in the underground tunnel from Cerulean to Vermillion, a nice quick grab to deal with unexpected status conditions.
@@thethree13oThe context was him having to start Mr. Surge already burned. He was debating whether to go back and buy a burn heal or not. The full restore that's just lying there would have solved that problem.
There is no "if" I enjoy your content. I absolutely do! 🙂👍 I can't wait to see more of the gen 1, but I am also super pumped to see the other gen content you have as well!
Hey Porygon! One of my favorites! Before this video I iust want to say, I've been following this series since 'Ol Bulbasaur, but it means so much more to me now. I started a job this summer and this series is what helps keep me sane for eight hours a day. Thank you for this series!
I think you may have made this harder on yourself by using strictly special moves. Sure Porygon has better special, but with STAB it’s normal moves would still hit harder. Tri-attack would have been really useful for bulky special Pokémon like Jynx and Alakazam
He made an opposite mistake with Slowpoke and Starmie, in which replacing the STAB Surf on each for Earthquake/Harden would have been the better option.
For a few years now i use your videos to fall asleep the combination of voice and gameplay is so soothing for me i just wanna say that i love your content
So glad to hear you plan on finishing this. I love watching your streams on twitch but this series legitimately changed my life. Found this at the perfect time and it started me recollecting old games, and eventually led to me starting my own small business and it was all in part inspired by your Pokemon videos.
Man, this has been a wild journey with you. I played the heck out of gen 1-3. Things like badge boost, the ditto glitch, rollout glitch in gen 2, and how to manipulate AI...I can't thank you enough honestly. I never knew these things and it's changed how I perceive the games. Keep it up
Hi Jrose. I hope your July Tuesday is going well. I'm watching your video while doing delivery driving. I watch at red lights and listen while driving. I really appreciate your content and your voice overs. If I'm having a bad mental health day, I rewatch old videos of yours and I am taken back to a better place. I'll always watch your new videos and I'm about finished with my playlist of yours where I'm catching up! I try not to let the list at the end of the videos spoil the past ones lol Love you dude, keep it up
I was looking forward to this one. It's gonna be...interesting EDIT: Seeing both Conversion being useful and Surge finally getting a runback from his...Assistant Janitorial status (dying) is making this a classic already
Glad to see you're back! I 'love' the color scheme, and (before i start) am predicting a average pokemon. Porygon doesn't have major stab, but it has great coverage. either way, I love your content jrose!
So sporting of Jrose to pull punches against Surge and let him earn a temporary promotion from Janitorial Assistant Staff. Also the colors in this run are trippy!
The Porygon line is most certainly not forgotten in competitive, every gen its available in its usually at least experimented with as a fast sweeper. Z Conversion in gen 7 was insane.
Well I will certainly never forget about Porygon-Z. Best non-Legendary user of Hyper Beam in the franchise. High sp atk, Adaptability, normal type. Porygon-Z can liquify just about any opponent that's not a special wall if he gets the opportunity to do an action.
Hard to believe it's about halfway there, halfway there, halfway there. It's a treat seeing how things have progressed since the early days of "that webseries I pandemic-watched" to much better production.
Ohhhhhhh lordy this color scheme matches Porygon’s “from another dimension” aesthetic. Edit: He didn’t keep it the whole video and my eyes thank you JRose.
Porygon is definitely one of those Pokémon that you take different approaches when trying to do a run. I hope we can see the Porygon line get more runs in the future since it definitely has that replay ability factor.
When the video first started I thought that it was just gonna be THAT color pallet the entire time so I switched to my greyscale filter immediately and gave a sigh of relief when you mentioned that it was just for a bit at the beginning.
I love Porygon, always have. One of the first times I used a gameshark back in the 90s was to hack Porygon into Route 1 so I could basically start with one. Great video, Jrose!
I think Porygon has to be one of the easiest solo runs, right? STAB Body Slam is an incredibly strong move and Ice Beam + Thunderbolt + Psychic is pretty much perfect coverage. Haven't watched the video yet though, so we'll see
I normally appreciate the high energy of your vids Jrose, but today your slower cadence and deeper voice just hits different. I look forward to every one of these runs, keep it up!
Let’s go been waiting for this one the porygon line is my favorite line in all of Pokémon because the line is good in battle grate in design and great in the actual, Pokémon’s backstory and concept. And Pure normal is by far my favorite type in Pokémon. Porygon original isn’t the best Pokémon to be fair but the later ones if you teach psychic on it, it covers it’s only weakness, and you get download gen three onwards and if you know your opponent and play it right you basically get a free special attack boost on switching in which basically makes it’s electric psychic and Ice coverage moves hit for stab equivalent damage. And there’s very few Pokémon in the game that are able to resist tri attack thunderbolt psychic an ice beam.
Hey Jrose11, love your videos! I was wondering, in this run, to make the Champion's Alakazam easier, you could get a Normal Type TM and replace Psychic for the last battle. Could be, for example, Tri Attack from Celadon Department Store. Thanks for the great content. I always learn a lot about gen 1 in your videos!
I did miss your videos, because I often use them to fall asleep... Now don't gimme wrong, i don't mean that they are boring, it is more that i feel confortable watching your vids and your voice now feel reassuring to me after all this years, and i love the feeling of rediscovering a game I deeply cherish Just a comment i hope you will see, to let you know that you are important to an insomniac stranger
Still in Vermillion during this comment, but I actually think Conversion could be super useful. These solo runs are usually tough because you have fewer options. But Conversion gives you room for a little extra strategy in battle.
I was really excited to see you do a solo run for Porygon since near the beginning of the Red/Blue solo series. Porygon really doesn't get a lot of love in general, so it's really nice to see some love here. That being said, it's interesting to see the challenges Porygon faces compared to other Pokémon. Having only normal-type moves really is a pain when facing Brock. 😅 Also, you really went crazy trying to defeat Surge without healing; it'd be so much easier to just walk to the Pokémon center and heal to get rid of that burn. In addition, it seems like Porygon struggles the most with Kadabra/Alakazam. It's pretty cool to see Porygon rank 26 on the tier list so far. I also like names you gave to your character(Polygon) and your Rival(Sprite).
I loved this video. I never did like Porygon when Red/Blue came out, but come Gen 4, I absolutely loved Porygon-Z, so seeing this video of Porygon winning has made me happy. Great work!
porygon was actually the second run i did after i started watching your channel; i got 7:14 and ended up at lv. 64, but i do leave battle anims on (and have nowhere near the accumen that you do, lol). nice run!
Just finished watching MDB's latest video "and next week, I'll be playing pokemon red with 1 porygon" Refresh youtube to see this video. Bahahahahaha. Love the timing. Great video Jrose. As always, thanks for making these.

A note on rarely used moves: I really hope Goldeen gets a chance to use gen 1 Waterfall before it inevitably gets replaced by Surf.

Porygon? And this is only run 72? I really underestimated how long this series would take, I'm loving it
Should be done already but that's just my opinion.
What's funny is that in this generation, Porygon is a fully evolved Pokémon, but in modern generations, it's the first form of a three stage line.
Just like Electabuzz, Magmar and Jynx.
@@YhwachTheAlmighty. not really 'just like', because those aren then stage 2 pokémon, whilst Porygon is a stage 1.

Could be, for example, Tri Attack from Celadon Department Store. Thanks for the great content. I always learn a lot about gen 1 in your videos!
I had the same thought. He doesn’t need Psychic for the Champion so Tri Attack or Double Edge would make it way easier.
I did miss your videos, because I often use them to fall asleep... Now don't gimme wrong, i don't mean that they are boring, it is more that i feel confortable watching your vids and your voice now feel reassuring to me after all this years, and i love the feeling of rediscovering a game I deeply cherish
Just a comment i hope you will see, to let you know that you are important to an insomniac stranger
Still in Vermillion during this comment, but I actually think Conversion could be super useful. These solo runs are usually tough because you have fewer options. But Conversion gives you room for a little extra strategy in battle.
Looking at its move pool the TMs it gets access to should make conversation obsolete.
These videos are my comfort watch always now. Made an 11 hour drive way more tolerable listening to these. Thanks bruh!
Do muk next!!
Good idea i want him to do rhydon
Omg the colour palate on this is epic! Thanks Jose!
I was really excited to see you do a solo run for Porygon since near the beginning of the Red/Blue solo series. Porygon really doesn't get a lot of love in general, so it's really nice to see some love here.
That being said, it's interesting to see the challenges Porygon faces compared to other Pokémon. Having only normal-type moves really is a pain when facing Brock. 😅 Also, you really went crazy trying to defeat Surge without healing; it'd be so much easier to just walk to the Pokémon center and heal to get rid of that burn. In addition, it seems like Porygon struggles the most with Kadabra/Alakazam.
It's pretty cool to see Porygon rank 26 on the tier list so far.
I also like names you gave to your character(Polygon) and your Rival(Sprite).
I have nothing to sat but I'm happy to see an upload from you :)
This ff content hitting different. Glad to see more Jrose content!!
I've been waiting for this one! Can't wait to watch this on my commute
Holy moly a new video!? 🎉 I've been stuck watching past videos thinking I'll never see new content! THESE ARE AMAZING THANK YOU!!!❤❤❤
this was a fantastic video, really had me questioning everything with the philosophy of it all
I loved this video. I never did like Porygon when Red/Blue came out, but come Gen 4, I absolutely loved Porygon-Z, so seeing this video of Porygon winning has made me happy. Great work!
Im super late to this video, but man do I love Porygon! I wish more people would recognize the Goat! Thanks for the great video!
What is the song playing at 33:10? I'm having a hard time finding it.
I'm so glad to hear that you're going to do all Gen1 Pokémon! Can't wait to see the finished tier list
im breathing the videos from jrose like its air, keep up with your content, we love it
oh my god those colors. well done!
omg thank you for changing the color scheme, I was just gonna listen to this one.
I've been asking for a Porygon run for while. Thank you for running it, that was awesome!
porygon was actually the second run i did after i started watching your channel; i got 7:14 and ended up at lv. 64, but i do leave battle anims on (and have nowhere near the accumen that you do, lol). nice run!
Thank you JRose for the video. Today is full of housework and etc for me, so having a new JRose video really makes the day much, much more enjoyable
I am pumped for your next run. You are getting there towards all 150!
This was a much calmer and more subdued JRose. Also, love that new Subscribe graphic.
always a pleasure thanks for posting
Just finished watching MDB's latest video "and next week, I'll be playing pokemon red with 1 porygon" Refresh youtube to see this video. Bahahahahaha. Love the timing. Great video Jrose. As always, thanks for making these.
Omg I've been binging all of your past videos and running out! Yay new one!
Simple, funny and interesting. Gotta love it when a new video comes out !
Porygon colour scheme is so charming=) Thank you for another great challenge=)
