The Bruno's story arc on this channel is legit stuff! After a difficult journey to become a member of Elite 4 he is humiliated time and time again, defeated by the same trainer who keeps bringing teams of a single unevolved pokemon and just pressing 'A' button to win. Having experienced a mental breakdown, he swears revenge. Jrose wants to defeat Elite 4 without taking any damage? Bruno looks at his Hitmonchan... and teaches him Mach Punch. "Under no circumstances are you allowed to use other moves, understand?" Hitmonchan nods as if he understood the words of his master completely.

From a thematic standpoint, I actually kinda love that Clair doesn't have fully-evolved dragons yet. She fancies herself a dragon master, but the fact that her Dragonair hasn't evolved yet reveals her arrogance, and that she has much to learn before she's able to get on the level of her rival/idol Lance, the TRUE Dragon-type master.

Confusion proc is equivalent to afflicted pokemon doing a 40 base attack move that ignores type on themselves. It lasts 1-4 turns. Bite (aside from gen 1) is a 100% hit rate 60 power move that has a 30% flinch chance. Zubat and golbat have garbage attack stats, so even at best with bite and confusion status afflicted, the enemy pokemon still has anywhere from a 35-47% chance of attacking anyways and that pokemon more than likely will have a good chance of ko'ing zubat/golbat in those 2-3 turns because of how low their base hp and defenses are. In other words, you kinda have to get lucky to make the zubat line work with those moves.

Yup. It can go unnoticed because he never mentions it, even though he always does it, like in his recent Bruno run. That added difficulty can really make a difference, especially for these type of runs. It was another key aspect to consider for choosing Haunter. And tbh, I get his logic. It's so nonsensically funny to imagine a Shift scenario: "Oh, my Rhyhorn's down. Hey, kid! I know I'm the Mafia's Boss and we're Battling for the takeover of this big Corporation with hostages and everything, but I just wanted you to know: I'm gonna send my other Rhyhorn now. You OK with that? Wanna switch? No? Your Blastoise is good on it's Surf PP? Ok then! Go rekt him, Rhyhorn, you've got this!". Then he's shocked and wonders how he lost again.

Regarding the seemingly random elite four switch ins: I believe the AI checks for a pokemon with super effective moves against your current pokemon and if none/all have one the switch in is random. So in the case of wil and haunter all of his pokemon had psychic so it would be random. A similar reason for the bruno layout with your kadabra.

Fun fact, my favourite Pokemon is Alakazam, and there is a cute origin story. As a young child, I had a lot of social issues, as in, I sucked at talking to people. When I did, all I could really talk about was the video games I played, like Pokemon. As a child, I always saw Alakazam as that one super powerful psychic Pokemon. As a kid growing up with FRLG and the anime, I saw Alakazam as this powerful pseudo Mewtwo. I never got one, though, as I never had friends to trade with, or two systems and two games. Though, Freshman year rolled around, and I finally got Diamond and Pearl with a friend, and I raised up an Abra into Alakazam. It happened to be a modest Alakazam, and it carried my whole team. To this day, Alakazam represents the power of friendship to me. I always found it neat that you liked Kadabra, which is, of course, a very respectable Pokemon in its own right.

Cool video. Definitely enjoyed watching the challenge run, separate from your other challenge runs and ongoing series. As someone that likes watching these sort of pokemon challenge runs from various poketubers, I think something you could do to improve upon future runs is make it very clear up front what all the rules are. For example, a quick slide at the start saying "If any of my pokemon ever takes damage, I restart from my previous save. I am allowed to save as many times and as often as I like, with the exception being no saving between Elite 4 members. All use of pokemon centers, items in battle, etc are allowed." I think if you added something like that, it would give all the viewers the expectations of the run up front and make it more interesting. Cheers!

That Lugia on the start screen had way too many Carbos.

Ok, about the order the e4 sends out pokemon. From what i know they pick pokemon that have super effective moves against your current pokemon. The most extreme example of this is koga. If you kill ariados with typhlosion (or any other fire type) he will always send in forretress cuz it knows spikes, which is a ground type move. (This is just observation and guesswork, so take it with a grain of salt but i more or less confirmed it against other trainers like the kanto gym leaders and red). In fact, whenever i go through e4 multiple times using the same pokemon for the same opposing pokemon, the order is actually really consistent. I think it happens that the order gets shuffeld around a bit if the remaining pokemon are all equally effective against your current pokemon, but that rarely happend to me. Maybe you just got unlucky?

JRose, I’ve been watching your videos on the fire stick as I go to bed and man, they’re just so entertaining and great. I know you put so much time into these challenges and editing them, the voicing, the script, etc.. all so painful, I’m sure. I’m glad you’re having a lot of success and you’ll continue to rise! The Pokémon games really are that awesome where it’s not annoying whatsoever to see them get played through over a 40 min span many times.. so thank you again. Subscribed!

Great video! I like it when you have variety in your challenges.

Great video. I'm pretty sure Smallant used like X Speeds and that kind of thing, so good on you for going only held items in battle. If and when you get back to the solo Kanto challenges, I'd love to see Krabby. It has fantastic attack and really bad special. Of course, all of its physical attacks are Normal. Should make for a neat run.

I've been watching a lot of your one Pokémon challenges and so when you first used bellsprout in battle I got absolute whiplash, like my brain had forgotten it was actually possible for more than one Pokémon to be used in battle

I love your videos. I wanted to rewatch this and compare because I just finished a No damage Crystal run. Watching your videos while grinding helps a lot! Keep up the great work!

You made me laugh talking about claires unevolved Pokemon while youre fighting her with a kadabra lol love your videos!

Love these videos my guy.

Hi jrose!!! Always look forward to these

Awesome vid dude, I feel you on Karen. I just finished a Totodile only run of Silver and that damn Umbreon was a wall until sand attack failed. I completely underestimated just how powerful that thing is.

None of these runs are luck based. So much respect man. You do it this pure way of your own where you hold yourself to this standard of gaming that is to be admired. We all have our own 'head-cannon' in some games we love, melding our own experiences with the game. I truly enjoy your content.

0:06 Yeah, you’re right. Technically.

Technically right, the best kind of right

You wondered about the “random” elite four order. I am no expert, but I can bring my observations. As a kid I often did solo Typhlosion run of the game and the elite four always had the same set of Pokemon order because they saved their grass/weak to fire pokemon to last, starts with best matchup. I did notice a change when a did not use a pokemon following that pattern it changed a little, but I always took that to the ai trying to find same pattern as before, but couldn't so it tries one that might work. I might be wrong, but that has always been what I thought from how I experienced it.

This channel is my new obsession. Not only is your demeanor enjoyable, but you're really honestly about your failures and how you grew bc of them and idk of an any more "anime" theme lmaoo

Great idea for a video man, I can only imagine the amount of work it took. I left a like and this comment to help the algoritm. I hope you blow up with this! Shoutouts from Argentina!

Jrose: I DO NOT SAVE BETWEEN E4 MEMBERS!!!! Me: Cool man, it's your time... *Saves State, Double Teams once, reloads state until opponent misses*

I’m so glad you’re regularly uploading again, love your vids as always.

WOAH!! Very good, well done. Literally cheered when you got to red.

Jrose: "the final gym of johto doesn't use any final evolved Pokemon.... so anyway, she sends out a Kingdra"

Jrose: Koga is the worst Red/Blue gym leader Blaine: *Furiously spams more super potions*

Thanks for the videos JRose! They're really helping get me through my extra time at home.

Loving the regular uploads. After watching this, I’m going back to my Rattata only run of Silver

Aw, dude, what an unexpected video. No wonder it's been like 5-6 days this time. :D Hope you're getting back to solo runs soon!

Just like all the rest of your videos, here's another one I desperately try to put in the background while I do other things just to end up sitting down intently staring at the screen because they're just so interesting!

I love how Gamechamp actually did beat Pokemon without taking damage for the first recorded time, and the floodgates opened, love these vids.

I live in the UK and I always manage to watch these videos while eating breakfast. Love all videos you do :D

Wow, I never knew that Gastly and Haunter can't actually learn the elemental punches in gen 2, they would have made the run much easier

I no longer play Pokemon as much as I used to but watching this challenges is mega interesting an i love every minute of them, thanks for doing this videos, they're awesome!!!

Wow this was amazing! And good to see Haunter being used so well

Love the vids! Have a little correction- you claimed that Clair doesn’t use fully evolved Pokémon but Kingdra is a final form. Keep up the good work!

@Mariano Jar He says "doesn't use fully-evolved pokemon". Not "only fully evolved" or "uses pokemon that aren't fully evolved", those could be interpreted like you said, but how he said it was pretty unambiguous. He either forgot about Kingdra or meant to say "all of her pokemon aren't fully evolved" and misspoke, either way he made a mistake

TIL Red can disappear until after E4 rematch Good on you giving this a crack

G/S/C & HG/SS are my favorite pokemons versions ever! Love this channel!

I love this challenge. It's a hard one but entertaining to watch. Thank you for doing it

"Feels like a waste of space" Sounds like Victory Road and I have something in common

>gets tired of running gen 1 >does this instead lol

16:50 I cant agree more. Heartgold and Soulsilver had sooooooooo much content and mechenics. It really was 4th gen at its peak and I don't think they ever achieved that level ever again. Pokewalker, 16gyms, gym rebattles, safari zone, pokethon, dressup assasories, voltorp flip, tons of catchable legendaries (even without the events), collectable leafs and ribbons, pokemon walks at your side!, tons of pokeballs you could use,... and I am sure I forget things still.

Sick run, I don't know how you have the patience for this stuff lol. (Also love that you referenced Smallant he's a really cool dude.)

Gamefreak : trading are good jrose : level 80 haunter

I love these challenges. The amount of effort you put into these that your average human being wouldn’t dare attempt is mind boggling 🤣 ❤️ keep up the great work 🙏🏾

Always love your videos man. Very entertaining, so thorough. And soooo much work!!! Thanks man ✌️😁

I'm so hyoe to see my boy playing something other than RBY! I mean I love RBY and watch literally all your videos, and have for years, but this is fucking amazing

"Heart Gold and Soul Silver are the best-made games, including the recent ones." You *really* didn't need to specify that it was including the recent ones.

I'd love to see you do this the same way as Smallant did it, with webcam, reset counter, timer etc. Not that I don't trust you, but it adds so much more to the video

Dont you ever stop making Pokemon content. This is my favorite channel of all time🙏🏻

I expected a single Pokemon, rush to lvl 100 run. This was a pleasant surprise, and I truly respect this challenge. I might try this challenge.
