Complete Playlist: • Kanto Solo Challenges
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. - Hry
Good morning, don't forget in just 2 weeks the Month of Jrose begins with a new video EVERY DAY!
Let’s gooooo!
Stoked for it. Was missing these vids!
I’m am so insanely excited
Lets go
nice, i'm hyped up for it !
- Physical powerhouse
- Only Normal attacks as physical options
- Mediocre speed
- Bad special
Agatha is smiling in the distance
Don't forget "erasing the best special move it could learn"
Turns out Krabby is Rock Lee
@@N12015 Surf is better.
Smiling? That bag of bones is cackling like a witch that caught some kids for her stew.
@@MrEnte3000 Crabhammer is way better, at least for fighting Agatha specifically. It has a boosted critical hit rate so for krabby it's critting almost 80% of the time. It's so much better at beating Agatha than that ridiculous mimic hypnosis then try to get good sleep luck over many turns when you can just try to get enough crits to win. For general use, consistency is nice, but krabby's special is so weak that you need luck to win and crabhammer's is better than JRose's ridiculous strategy.
Fun Fact: Krabby is the only NFE Pokemon in Gen 1 that you can actually solo the game with without catching a single other Pokemon (without abusing glitches to perform major skips). Krabby is one of only 4 Pokemon (Krabby, Kingler, Lickitung, and Mew) which can learn all mandatory HM moves needed to complete the game (Cut, Surf, Strength), and it's the only NFE mon among them.
what is nfe
@@Bugser64not fully evolved
Is mew able to learn every single move in the game?
@@treezues9586 Yes Mew can learn every move, even in the latest generations.
@@treezues9586 he can learn every TM and HM, not every move
14:58 man that must be a huge Krabby if Spearow needed a Protein to start flying around with it.
Yeah I was gonna post asking why he did that must’ve just been distracted I guess
What a waste!
Krabby is actually based on a samurai crab or a sand bubbler crab, although they would definitely both dig in real life, especially the one named after the sand it digs. Dwebble is based more on a hermit crab - hermit crabs don't have shells of their own, so they use abandoned shells or rocks they hollow out or even sometimes garbage they find as their shells. I do believe all crabs dig, though, which is one of the main functions of their claws aside from offense and defense.
As far as I know (I'm not a biologist, but I heard this in a documentary or from a teacher at school), the crabs living in the sand dig (using their legs), those living among the rocks don't (unsurprisingly).
These claws ain't just for attracting mates!
i thought fiddler krab
@@McStick7 kingler is
I could be wrong, but I don't think Jrose was actually suggesting Krabby is a hermit crab. I think he was just throwing that out there in his disappointment at Krabby lacking Dig
EDIT: My bad, I wasn't finished re-watching and had forgotten he did specifically say it's a hermit crab, which it obviously isn't, and so you are also obviously correct. I will leave this comment as a testament to me being wrong
We come for the Gen 1 challenge runs.
We stay for the excellent Mr. Krabs impressions 👌
I miss his count impression!
^^ Both these comments
the money is always right!
For runs like this I'd love if you added an 'Attempts' counter during the Elite 4
Not sure if it would be a pain to add or keep track of but it would be interesting to see
The issue is that Jrose does "scouting attempts" "actual attempts" and "exp Grinding". So it'd be hard to make it consistent. Though I do agree it would make sense and give an idea of just how consistent things are.
They did it for Shedinja in Platinum and I thought that was cool as so kind of agree!
I think you mean a reset count to indicate the end of a singular run
I think keeping a “attempts meter” could be a cool idea. Just don’t count for the exp grinding.
Good idea!!
The Spearow protein after teaching fly was so funny to me for some reason 😅 glad to have another video :)
Yeeeeees I was looking for this comment. I died too, there was a moment he realised even while sped up that you can tell was him acknowledging his super charged HM slave 👍🤣
i liked how it was right after he explained why he needed fly so badly
The fact that you have done this as many times as you have and still find moments where you show pure, childlike excitement is the reason I keep coming back. Keep at it
You don’t understand how you just made my day. I especially love watching your water type runs
Eugene and Plankton as yours and the rival's names is easily one of the best nickname combos in one of your challenges for a long time 😂
My only counterpoint is that the rival should be sheldon
Can I just say that I love watching your sprite walk back and forth several times missing the door entrance. Lol, never gets old.
Now i am not gonna lie, after you said Krabby might give Ghastly a run for its money if it could learn dig i got really curious if it actually could.... Maybe you should do a run with a modified Krabby that actually knows dig. For science of course :D
Technically, it can learn Dig in Gen 1. Transfer a Krabby to Gold or Silver, teach it Dig, trade it back, boom, Dig in Gen 1 on Krabby. It can also learn Amnesia this way too!
Woulda made the early to mid game way faster
@@kernsboy and Agatha would have been a joke. No way Gengar survives a swords dance boosted Dig.
@@lukefenton7809 i mean, would you even need Swords Dance? Gengars defence is wet tissue paper, would be interesting to see :D
I'd argue no, unless you're giving it Dig before getting the TM in Cerulean which is giga-cheating. I forgot if Ghastly really struggled anywhere, but Krabby loses quite a bit of time early and then has to spend time backtracking for Fly and Erika. I mean I guess with Dig you could beat Surge but it's certainly not consistent, it's just whether he clicks TBolt or not. Plus Agatha still isn't 100%, because Krabby is slower.
JRose and Summoning Salt are the only channels on CZcams that make me stop what I’m doing just to watch them.
19:40 Actually Blaine can be as early as the third, Stadium 2 allows you to transfer items between saves, so if you send a drink for the Saffron guards and you can bypass Misty and Rock Tunnel entirely.
Don't you need cut to get to the Safari Zone from either Fuchsia City entrance?
@@NimhLabs you can walk around the bushes, you just have to walk around all of the building/zoos
@@zanon__ I guess you beat Brock, don’t bother with Misty, give the drink to the guard south of Cerulean after getting the SS ticket, get the Silph Scope and Poke Flute, wake up a Snorlax, take Cycling Road south to Fuschia, beat Koga as your second gym leader, get Surf from the Safari Zone, surf to Cinnabar and beat Blaine third
@@jnathanhopkins You are correct. My brain just went full on FRLG mode where "the drink" is a key item and not a vending machine item. I deleted my post. Thanks for explaining the logic behind OP's post.
@@zanon__ I forgot that was a key item in the remakes!
I've been checking for new JRose videos like 8 times a day. Managed to find this one 2 minutes after published. Thanks for all the entertaining content!
Yep there was a month long hiatus (understandable)
Same 😭😂
Dude, I've been desperate for content to watch.
Everytime I'm having a slow day this man just knows and uploads another banger
14:59 - Using that Protein on Spearow hurt me to my very core lol
He wanted it for Pokemon stadium after the video lol
Player name is Eugene, as in Mr. Eugene Krabs, and the rival is Plankton. Absolutely brilliant stuff JRose
I do love the player/rival names as a sort of background gag.
It’s just insane, how you take the time to make the sprites the same color as the Pokémon, such a subtle touch but it makes it look so much nicer
Wait, actually
The system he plays on has a setting that allows color change. He's not doing much work to make it look like that ahah
I believe he’s using the Super Gameboy either hardware, or emulated for that effect. Looks really good!
@@giulioceresini1435 even if its something simple to do its still great attention to detail that a lot of content creators wouldn't even bother doing
@@luqdude feels like you are setting the bar a bit too low, but whatever ahah
The Era of Count JRose11 has officially ended. Make way for the Era of Krabby JRose11 🙌🏽
That Krabby impersonation was perfect lmao
I miss his count impression 😢
it ended ages ago
Jrose: *built a career on playing pokemon efficiently*
Also Jrose: 6:07
I love how there is a skip right after, probably to hide him quickly activating a noclip cheat to solve that puzzle.
9:15
And then he uses a protein on his fly pokemon lol
@@MijmerMopper he saves then resets after if he misses the second switch it's by far the easiest solution next to cheats
so while he mentions at 27:37 that 4x speed hinders accuracy, i love that prior to this there's screeds of footage of him messing up throughout, unedited and without comment. like, voiceover jrose is talking matter-of-factly about strategy, while editor jrose is dropping clips of navigational ineptitude purely for the lols
I had to put my oldest cat down today. Getting a new video from you helps the day suck less, thank you. ❤️
Jrose - have you considered adding a counter to the screen for problematic trainers showing how many times you've lost to them to illustrate the difficulty of a particular part of the run? Just a thought.
Thanks for the content!
We’ve suggested it in the past to Jrose, and back in the earlier days when he could still read/reply to comments, so I know he saw it. I think he decided it wasn’t what he wanted for the runs.
Or maybe a real time timer?
Man this run's going to feel Krabby
I absolutly love how your narration style really takes us along for the journey, the frustration sounds so relateable!
There are many other gen 1 solo runners out there, but your videos are by far my favorite
I’m so hyped for the month of Jrose. Keep up the good work man, you’ve been absolutely killing it lately!
JRose, you don't know how hyped I am for a month straight of content like this. Can't wait to see what you have in mind!
I know this is perhaps outside your normal style, but do a run with Dig cheated onto Krabby once you get the TM to see if he is in fact up there with Ghastly. I love Krabby. Would love to see him get some recognition.
It doesn't even need to be cheated provided he has the software but considering that he doesn't use the hardware it needs to be cheated
In case you didn't know you can transfer pokemon back and forth between gen 1 and 2 I didn't grow up with them but gen 3 so I actually didn't know that for the longest time
That's dumb. There are a lot of pokemon who would be better if they had one better coverage move cheated in. The only reason Krabby is even as good as it is is because it is super fortunate to get Swords Dance in a gen with the BBG.
Krabby is a great example of the Physical/Special split really helping something out
Sneasel is still the king example of that.
Gyarados is another.
Did it though? Ever since gen 4 Kingler has been completely shafted. Yeah it got physical water moves but so did everything else. Kingler got so little over the years that gen 1 is literally the best it's ever been
@@dntremad8290 its good in the lower tiers wdym
@@TheLudicrousLuv In gen 1 it was good all the way up to OU though
Came here for the starter runs years, stayed for the hype moments and the pop offs that always bring a smile. Keep up the great work!
Krabby learns Dig starting in Gen 2
Thinking back to a meme where the little krab has a better base attack than Mew. Looking forward to this run!
You are sooo thorough with all of your play-throughs that you're deserving of the southern "thourah."
That "Ride that Surf" at the end was very cathartic
Seeing these videos pop up completely make my day, keep up the great work Jrose11!
My heart has never been broken so many times until I saw Krabby fight the elite four
Always good to see you come back, Jrose. Been a fan for years and your videos bring me so much comfort. They're always something I can turn to for a little calm relaxation. Wishing the best, hope you're well!
19:38
You can skip the trainer who blocks the path by timing your save just right, skipping Brock entirely. You can also use trading to give yourself an item to reach Saffron earlier, plus surf. So, that would make Blaine available as early as the second gym.
if youre counting glitches you can use brock through walls to either walk down to cinnabar or into viridian gym so by that standard any gym can be first, reverse badge order is a speed run sub category
i believe that counts as a glitch, but it's still cool tech
You can't trade items in gen1
Except every single one of those things is against the rules.
@@velvetbutterflyIt can be done but it can only be done via Stadium 2.
The strange thing about Gastly is that it's first gen sprite is it's best depiction in all media.
Just wanna say I've been watching your content for the past 3 years, and I have loved every bit of content you have produced. Definitely my favorite poketuber by far, I love your unique spin on challenges, the insight and speculation that goes into them, and the genuine love for the game and community you show in your content. You Brock at your job!... you get the idea there
Seen all the ‘Can you beat {game} with {Pokémon}’ & my favorite part by far is the clever rival names that JRose uses. Quality especially in detail, that’s the JRose guarantee ✌🏻
14:59 "Spearow's attack rose" :D
that intro just brought back years of nostalgic memories of Kingler in Pokemon Puzzle League and him yelling about COOKIES and my brother, cousin and I finding it so hilarious every time
man, that game had so many little gems that Child Me thought were hilarious. Jolteon and Cloyster were also favorites of mine, though I always picked Blaine in VS mode because he had the best music
Chaaaarrrrbok
Cl-l-loyster
I'm feeling greedy
I told you so
When you're hot, you're hot
Aww, poor baby
Keep on trying
All those and many more live rent free in my head
was just thinking last night that we were due for a new jrose video and go on this morning and see you uploaded. couldn’t be more excited for the daily uploads. keep doing your thing and i’ll watch!
It's weird how I check if you posted a new video every few minutes and the moment I leave for like an hour or so you have already posted a video. Amazing
The entire E4 segment is a testament to the power of perseverance. Nicely done, JRose!
I think deleting Crabhammer was a pretty big misplay, especially for Agatha. About the same base power as Surf, and has guaranteed crits thanks to its elevated crit chance and Gen I crit calcs.
Not 100% positive it was though, since itd mean losing Surf, which meant you couldn't early battle Blain (meaning harder fights with Rival and Sabrina).
I totally agree. I have used Kingler before and I think it massively benefits from the increased critical chance
I guess I understand why he deleted it now, although it wasn’t explained too well. Since he is relying on badge boost glitch, I believe a critical hit would ignore the boosts. Still, with 3 badge boosts, that is only a 42% increase where the critical should be close to double.
I've been looking forward to the Krabby run! I love your vids and was inspired to do my own run a while back, Krabby only with no HM mons. Other than Mew, Krabby (and Kingler) is the only mon to be able to learn Cut, Strength and Surf in 1st gen. One of my favourite playthroughs I've done! Thanks for all the content Jrose, keep being awesome
Yessss. Welcome back Jrose!
Love all the poketubers, but I love your style of play and strategies for tackling the different challenges. 👍
I love the Krabby line
I hope that was a fun one to play. Lets see!
Yay! Wonderful to see you back Jrose
Excellent Krabby impression to kick things off, well done
I get how tedious these runs are but I love them!! Respect how much work you put in to these!! Glad your back!!
At least the levels seemed to help quite a bit on Agatha that last run, better ranges on surf meant you needed less luck using hypnosis. I think the levels helped there more than you were admitting. Each hypnosis being 60% means even relying on 1-2 less of them makes a big difference on the odds.
Can’t believe I’ve been watching this series for almost 3 years
I appreciate your explanation of “retroactive potion” as I was also confused about what you meant, but it actually makes perfect sense now.
I get so hype whenever i see your videos. They’re always so fun to watch. 🙌🏾
So anyone else notice that the shade of orange on this run changes slightly at roughly 18:45 ? This also changes the green into blue. I don't think I've seen this happen in any previous run. :o
You say that levelling up against Agatha isn't effective because you'd need to be very high to outspeed, but surely reducing the amount of Surfs it takes to defeat a Gengar would also make it much easier, reducing the amount of turns that they have to stay asleep
Every time I open youtube and see you have a new video out, its a great day!!! I always look forward to all your content!!
Perfect timing i just finished another full watchthrough of this series
Jrose, thank you so much for your work.
I can't wait for this month of vids.
I'm a stay at home dad, and while your super busy, you also aren't. So these help my days so much
Krabby can learn all of the required hm's (cut/surf/strength), so it's possible to literally beat the game with only krabby. It's a fun challenge for anyone to try, but I don't think it'd make for a great video because the strategy for the last half of the game is basically just level up. But maybe an optimized "what's the lowest level you can beat R/B with just a krabby" could be kinda interesting
i always watch videos like these to wind down before bed, i'm always so happy to see a new one happen to pop up when i come to the channel
I would literally pay a subscription fee for Jrose11 videos
I think Krabby should have been penalized a lot more in its tier placement for how much it struggled at various points, and it felt like you should have just levelled up more with it at the end instead of brute forcing getting lucky against Agatha. If it would have took Krabby until well into the 70s to get through Agatha with any more consistency like you claimed, then so be it, it would be a more accurate portrayal of how much it takes to get "consistent" with Krabby than banking on such low odds to actually win.
These runs are just for fun bro. Sometimes he just levels up & makes it more consistent and time accurate, sometimes he takes the lucky, inconsistent brute force strategy. In the end, the runs really mean nothing & purely entertainment, don’t take it so seriously.
@@2OP4YOU It's just a comment bro, why are you taking it so seriously? People are free to comment and critique things, it isn't so serious.
@@OmegaTyrant Butthurt much?
Every hard Agatha fight: teaches mimic for hypnosis
Jrose: a simple spell but quite unbreakable
The Agatha Lottery is a scary thing to play with a Krabby. You're a brave man.
17:01 watch as JRose makes a blunder for the ages!
Crabhammer is a move like Slash, which has a high crit ratio. So even though on paper it's a weaker and less accurate surf, in practice it has 180 Base Power for the cost of accuracy and not being affected by special badge boosts. Probably would've made an even dumber lottery of a fight but might've made it a lot faster!
Probably a lot less tbh when you ro normal power moves normally the 1/3 boost is actually worth it DPT since you make up a lot for the miss a bit,but this is double which is insane
Yeah!! I was so sad when he got rid of Crabhammer. Poor Krabby got misrepresented
If you ended the battle, you would have kept wing attack permanently. If they swap on the mimic turn you would have to reset to keep your moves
Oh, the protein on Spearow was heartbreaking! Good job on your challenges as always, I enjoyed your Krabby noises and the naming choices
This run was SO interesting, it all seemed so backwards, but as always great vid! Looking forward to the month of Jrose!!
I often listen to them like a podcast/audiobook, so I'm looking forward to the Month of Jrose :D
Pokemon Scarlet&Rose :D
I guess surf was better just because of accuracy, but crabhammer is a high crit rate move so you basically always crit. I guess it doesn't matter much though since you use body slam against everything not weak to water
You would've one shot Aerodactyl though
Good run! I didn't expect Krabby to be so swingy in battles.
Thanks for the Pokémon Stadium reference at the end with Surf. Good memories with that game.
34:24 "Kakuna Ratatta,
What a wonderful phrase,
Kakuna Ratatta,
Ain't no passin' craze!"
Good video :) But, why not grind Krabby up for Agatha? You've done it with lots of pokemon in the past and you normally prioritise league consistancy over dumb luck. Seems like its ranking was a little high.
Today's the day
Welcome back Jrose! I have been looking forward to this run.
Krabby is my favorite Pokemon! Weekend made. Can't wait to watch this later. Thanks for all the content
Can you revisit this particular run again at a higher level? I'd like to see how well Crabby would do against Agatha on a higher level.
Yesssss let's go Krabby!
(I've done this with Krabby before and it sucked, good luck Jrose!)
I love your Krabs impression.
I'm always glad to see more of these up. Thanks!!
I love jrose’s reactions when he’s relieved…good show old chap.
When I was a kid (grade 3/4) we played lots of Pokémon blue/red at school and I have such a core memory of trading my squirtle for a krabby with another kid. Playing that whole run with krabby and eventually kingler was so much fun. Watching you play through this run is causing so much nostalgia, it’s amazing.. thanks for uploading this
Plankton: "Why? Why did I lose?"
Eugene's Krabby: "Because I win! I always win!"
Haha the other day on twitch you did the perfect krabby noise and was totally hoping for this! Cheers man!
I love your voice over talking about time wastes while struggling to get through the door. Speedup is great.
Awh yeah Krabby run! I always love seeing your stuff as well, JRose.
Major blast from the past with that opening. My brother and I always loved the anime Krabby noise!
The video we’ve all been waiting for ❤
What a perfect time. Friday, working from home, nothing to to really do at work, just sat here doing my time.
Have a good morning and a good day, man!
“Ive gotten better at my movement”
Mount Moon at the beginning of the video: “can you enter me?” 😂😂
It’s so great binge watching these while I work from home.
I really like the music you put in these lately. :)
Love your videos JRose, you smashed the time on Krabby here. Much better than my Krabby solo run!
It’s very strange how your videos are interesting. I just like listening to you talk for some reason, despite every video in this series being the same thing with slight variations. Something is just captivating about your narration.
