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
As a die hard Porygon fan, I was fully prepared to suffer through that original color pallet for the entire video.
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.
@@MLPIcebergAt least it's only 6500 coins in blue?
69 likes LOL
It’s like one of those palettes you’d create on the Super Game Boy to make the game look really weird.
I enjoy his videos a lot, but this color pallet makes me strain my eyes so bad, even if it does have 2 of my favorite colors in it
Always a good day when Jrose comes back
You aren’t wrong but his last video was last week lol
@@rrickydanby It was 20 days ago, but always happy when they return.
@@key099ableThat’s a week in Rick time.
In terms of this series, jrose is like the dad that shows up every few weeks with a neat new toy for you
@@sweetnsourboy8634thats better than my dad. Thank you Jrose
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!
People need to like this comment so that Jrose sees it.
It's been in every description for like 2 years
You would need to be REALLY unlucky for your first JROSE run to be the one run he decided to no longer explain badge boost glitch LOL
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
It was pikachus fault for the flashing lights tho
@@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)
@@gamermanzeakeThe episode was never broadcast in Europe
@@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.
Can't wait for Porygon-2: Electric Boogaloo. Thanks for your content!
Self reply, but dude! Your audio quality went wayyy up! Congrats, this is so soothing to listen to :)
nice Always sunny in Philly reference.😎😎
*Electric Soldier Boogaloo
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.
Fun fact: I didn't even know that waterfall was in Gen I until my Mew used it through Metronome on my last Gen I Catch Em' All run.
@@notmyrealname5268I didn't know that till going on Goldens trivia section on Bulbapedia years ago
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).
@@sugar_700 that would be a cool usage
i knew about gen 1 waterfall because of pokemon stadium. i can still vividly picture the animation of Seaking using waterfall
Surge being an actual roadblock for once is hilarious
And half the time it was a self-inflicted roadblock lol
If he had healed that burn...
This Porygon run gets the OG Bug Catcher official stamp of approval! 👍
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.
@@YhwachTheAlmighty. No, no, and no. All of those are the middle stage evolution.
@@YhwachTheAlmighty. those are middle evos now, not first forms
Still tho, they are fully evolved, maybe not first stage, but fully evolved.
I can always tell based on JRose's tone of voice in his "hello" whether it'll be a fun or painful run.
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.
no items in battle :/
@@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.
@@goranpiljic9362 ohhh that makes sense
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.
Porygon is my single favorite Pokemon! I am so glad that Jrose has gotten around to using it!
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!
It was pikachu but since franchise use pikachu as mascot they needed to cancel someone innocent so the true villain still prevail 😂
I'm definitely excited for more. Its been a really stressful time lately and these are such a nice break from reality for a minute.
I feel this. Seeing that there was a new Jrose upload made my day.
I am now so invested in this series. I can't wait to see final lists
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).
Then, like everything in sword and shield, it went to garbage.
@@matthewhenningervonada9914 no
@@MogusMasterSaikawa22yes
@@MogusMasterSaikawa22 Yes!
@@MogusMasterSaikawa22 If you don't think it's puke, then like the millions of other people like you are decieving themselves.
Porygon was one of my favorite pokemon growing up, the design is so cool
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
Exactly. He could’ve used the TM after Agatha and replaced Psychic
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.
@@nolongerapersonyou can't delete hms in gen 1
@@mrtrollnator123 Then never should have placed it to begin with. Point stands either way.
Or maybe he could have used conversion to make psychic deal more damage and resist Alakazam’s moves.
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.
I think you should do a close-up sweep of the tierlist because it's getting really hard to see it, great video as always
You can pause and zoom, depending what res you're watching at.

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"
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!
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
It's so crazy how much of a movement solo challenges like this have begun to prosper thanks in part to you. Always a joy to see a new upload!
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
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.
I'm looking forward for it coming to S/V. Need me some more Tera-Adaptability shenanigans.
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!
You are genuinely in my top 5 favorite CZcamsrs to watch keep up the good work
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
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!
You know the week is going to be great when Jrose uploads a new video.
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
I've been enjoying this 2 year journey so far. Thanks man
I've been asking for a Porygon run for while. Thank you for running it, that was awesome!
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!
Porygon2 remains, ever since Gen 5 and still up to current gen, one of the better defensive walls in the game. Eviolite does wonders for it.
Fr I've used it and it can take almost any attack even super effective ones
Love these videos, Porygon was always one of those that seem more powerful than they actually are, it was nice to see it do so well
This is a journey I didn’t know I needed but i’m happy i’m here. Love this series.
I love the color scheme you chose for the GBA footage
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.
I am pumped for your next run. You are getting there towards all 150!
Omg the colour palate on this is epic! Thanks Jose!
Always one of my favorite Pokémon to use in any playthrough of Gen I, looking forward to seeing how Porygon fairs solo ^^
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.
Holy moly a new video!? 🎉 I've been stuck watching past videos thinking I'll never see new content! THESE ARE AMAZING THANK YOU!!!❤❤❤
I'm so glad to hear that you're going to do all Gen1 Pokémon! Can't wait to see the finished tier list
Easily one of the most interesting to look into because of Conversion. Definitely has some weird mechanics for Gen 1. Those are the runs we love.
I'm glad the Porygon stan community (me included) all came together to watch this video
I've been binging these lately. Good to see a new one
Omg I've been binging all of your past videos and running out! Yay new one!
I always appreciate seeing novel strategies to complete these runs!
Love Porygon, this is going to be good.
2 days ago I randomly looked to see if you'd uploaded. Awesome to see a Porygon run now drop.
I have to say I really enjoy your videos. There's something soothing and familiar about them.
Gonna get some popcorn and watch it like a movie masterpiece! (It’s Jrose11 so of course it’s good). Been waiting for Porygon for so long.
Porygon is my favourite Pokemon. I was waiting for this run
Always look forward to your videos when they come out. Thanks for the great content over all these years, keep up the great work Jrose.
I appreciate that you changed the colors to match my vision after seeing the Porygon episode
Yay! My favourite normal type :D
Always good to see a jrose video in the sub box ❤
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 had the same thought. He doesn’t need Psychic for the Champion so Tri Attack or Double Edge would make it way easier.
I have nothing to sat but I'm happy to see an upload from you :)
always a pleasure thanks for posting
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
It doesn’t learn Body Slam but it does learn Tri Attack, which is just as good if not better. Surprised he never uses it.
@@Begeru Tri Attack doesn't have any additional effect in Gen 1, it's just a plain 80 BP move
I forgot that Porygon doesn't learn Body Slam though
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.
I’ve been binging all your stuff! These are awesome dude!
I've been binge watching your videos ever since I swapped jobs, I love you
Jrose is the only CZcamsr that I already give a thumbs up when the video starts because I know he never disappoints
But what would you do if he suddenly came out as a white supremacist pedo half way through the video? Still a thumbs up?
Sounds pretty burnt on that opening. Think I'll pass
@@samusaran7317At least you commented
Well every video is pretty much the same, so if you like one you like them all. Makes sense.
Finally! The porygon run!
yessss! ive been waitng for this moment since you started
I hecking love your videos. Smiled so much watching this. Thank you 💕
Do muk next!!
Good idea i want him to do rhydon
Let’s goooooooo a new JRose video!
I appreciate your content, JRose. Don’t burn yourself out, though! Take a break if you feel the need.
He was Porgygon for 2 weeks but now Jrose is Poryback
I've been waiting for this one! Can't wait to watch this on my commute
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.
This is my favorite custom colors for these runs. It's an awesome eyesore
Thanks for uploading another Gen 1 video, Jrose! These are so unbelievably entertaining 😂
Loool the opening palette, I thought you had gone nuts for a second
I honestly think Porygon is severely underrated. I’ve always enjoyed its design as well as Porygon 2, and it was a lot of fun trying to obtain this creature in the game. I honestly think that the anime episode could easily be fixed and edited so it can finally be released. There’s honestly no real reason to keep it banned anymore when a simple editing fix can easily resolve the major issues of that episode, just have the og English dub cast reunited and with the other banned episodes fixed up, we could finally have a complete series released on blu-ray instead of an incomplete series with episodes banned for outdated reasons.
Always stoked to see a JRose video!
Love to see these, they always make my day! Thanks Jrose!
The grind is real, glad to see uploads again .. hoping for a month of jrose again
Welcome back mate! Missed your videos
I was about to change the video when you took off the eye destroying effect. Thanks for that now I know what happens. Love the content bro
this was a fantastic video, really had me questioning everything with the philosophy of it all
This is such a great series! Keep it up!
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!
Found your video week ago and I just been binge watching them 😅 these are great
Using ‘Conversion’ to cheese the Misty battle was the best thing I’ve seen in Pokémon.
Yaaaaaaz!!! I yelled out loud when I saw you made an upload!
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.
Oh! I caught up. Keep em going. Love it!
Was wondering when jrose a upload thanks bro
Man Jrose, we always love a good treat when you post.
