Early gen mono Normal-types in general learn basically everything. I think in a way its kinda cool that in exchange for your STAB not being super effective against anything, you have access to good coverage moves that DO allow you to get super effective damage. Still though yeah, the fossils in general (and even non-Fossils like Scyther) have the most inexplicably garbage movepools. These Pokemon don't even get STAB for their other type (there are some Pokemon that have this issue too like Gyarados but that has an insane movepool regardless and people speculate it was once an actual Dragon-type at some point). Then you have even more tragic cases like Pinsir that don't learn any STAB moves at all.

It's one of the Gen 1 Competitive Big Three for a reason. Of course, in competitive battles, all Pokémon are LvL 50 (or is it LvL 100 in RBY?) and can learn their entire movesets without having to do anything for it. Meaning, competitive advantage isn't necessarily indicative of being good in a solo run of the base game. See: Tauros as a good example.

@@AhsimNreiziev That's because most of the time, the developers didn't expect people to start using these pokemon early in the game. E.g. Tauros, Chansey, Exeggcute, etc are safari zone exclusive, and they only start learning moves at like.. lv 25-30, because the developers didn't expect people would use them in idk... vs brock or at the start... so they didn't find it necessary to add moves until much later. So Tauros is stuck with tackle for like.. 20 levels. Same goes for the legendaries.. they don't learn moves until lv 50 for the same reason. Developers didn't expect them to be used much earlier.

Snorlax is one of the best Pokemon for in-game playthroughs in almost every game you can get it in. Reliable combo of good bulk and power and a good movepool. Even if its not the competitive god it once was, at least that part holds true.

Jrose single-handedly defeating anxiety what a guy

13:48 Yeah that's actually true. I don't know much about the competitive scene for older generations, but RBY is an exception for me. Memory is a bit hazy, but the scene learned of Body Slam not paralyzing some time between 2010-2012. Even to this today a lot of RBY battles are done through emulation, which back then didn't have some unique quirks to the game (like not being able to heal at very specific numbers, they learned that years after Body Slam paralysis). Someone in the community was playing through a copy of Red or Blue and fought one of the Snorlaxes using Body Slam. The Snorlax knew Rest so it took a while to complete the battle, and the whole time it never got paralyzed. So the player attempted to emulate the scenario but found that Snorlax was getting paralyzed. So they essentially jailbreaked their game so that all normal types couldn't take damage and knew Body Slam. When they ran their tests, not once did a normal type get paralyzed. They showed their findings to the RBY scene, and not long after emulators were updated Competitive RBY is a rollercoaster of updates, man. Even these past few months sleep-inducing moves (except for I think Rest) got banned in the lower tiers and that is shaking up everything. Fun time to be had, personally recommend trying it out.

The fun part of all of this is that Stadium 2 has a section where they explained that, in Gen 1, Pokémon could not be statused by damaging moves of their own type. And yet, no one even suspected of this.

I'm waiting for the random Gen 1 solo where Jrose just whips out Pokemon Green and pronounces every Pokemon, trainer, and move by their Japanese names

I'll have to watch this later, but I just did a Yellow playthrough and chose to use Snorlax on a whim. I was startled by how powerful its ATK is!

I think the idea of status immunities in gen I had more to do with poison Pokemon not being poisoned, fire Pokemon not being burned, and ice Pokemon not being frozen than it did with electric Pokemon being paralyzed.

@DisplayThisOkay

Жыл бұрын

Nah, poison was already hard-coded to not affect poison types because there are non damaging poison inflicting attacks. I was probably more that Burn and freeze only had damaging attacks that statused and it wouldn't make sense to get burned or frozen from a secondary affect. I bet if Will-o-Wisp was in Gen 1 they would've caught the oversight the moment a ghost pokemon burned a Fire type.

@@DisplayThisOkay In gen II fire types can be burned and ice types can be frozen from tri attack. Steel types can also be poisoned by twineedle. They didn’t catch those lol.

@DJFracus

Жыл бұрын

The code in question doesn't affect the poison status (Poison-types being immune is hardcoded), it only affects burn, freeze, and paralysis. The paralysis part of this got removed in Gen 2 but burn/freeze stayed, which is why Tri Attack can burn Fire types and freeze Ice types in Gen 2. Anyway, they DID choose to add paralysis to this, so clearly they did intend some type-immunity to paralysis just like with burn/freeze. My best guess is that they originally only had paralysis as a secondary effect on electric moves just like with burn/freeze, which would make Electric types functionally immune, but then added moves like Body Slam and Lick later.

Hey Jrose! Greetings from Portugal! Another awsome run man, congrats! You know, I've watched every one of your gen1 solo runs since the beginning of the pandemic and today I've had a devilish idea. You know how you say they are solo runs but need a few extra pokemon for the HM moves? Well how about a gen1 run where you can only use one pokemon? No HM slaves? I know of at least one pokemon you could try a run with! Best of luck! 😈😂

I fuckin' love me some Snorlax. And your stuff is always fantastic, I love listening to it while I work.

This is the best thing I could have found getting off work. I’m so excited for snorlax. You are a savior jrose

7:33 for anyone wondering why it can't paralyze, in the gen 1 games the way secondary status effects (like body slam's para, or lick's para, ice beam's freeze, etc) work is that the game first does a check to see if the target pokemon is the same type as the move, and if so then the secondary effect will never apply. For moves like Lick and Ice Beam, it works as intended, making Ghost types unable to be paralyzed by Lick, and Ice types unable to be frozen by Ice Beam (or any other ice move). However In the case of Body Slam, it becomes unable to paralyze any normal type pokemon. Just another one of the many oversights in the gen 1 games EDIT: oh he explains it a couple of minutes later... thats on me he didn't explain it right after so I assumed he forgot to mention it

@simonteesdale9752

It's not actually an oversight, but a way to save memory space. Part of the reason Gen 1 is so glitchy is because they also had to remove sanity checks (such as whether a pokemon actually exists when initiating a battle) for memory space issues.

@@llSuperSnivyll Most likely, the reason is just that most status conditions are tied to a single type (Burn to Fire, Frozen to Ice, Paralysis to Electric, Poison to Poison), and they realized it would make sense for, for instance, a Fire-type to be incapable of getting burned and a Poison-type to be incapable of getting poisoned, but they didn't want to code every single exception, so they just went with a flat "if Pokemon is [Type X], then status conditions tied to moves of [Type X] don't work." Which broadly makes sense; they just didn't realize it plays weirdly with a move that inflicts a status condition and isn't as blatantly elemental. An Electric-type being incapable of getting paralyzed by Thunderbolt makes sense; a Normal-type being incapable of getting paralyzed by Body Slam, not so much.

Based on the video length it's around the same length as Gengar and Mew, which looks really good for Snorlax to get a good time.

Really only misty will be hard, maybe could lose to surge if he thunderbolts. But those are the only 2 places where misty could fall short and otherwise has a way better movepool than either gengar or alakazam And we already have staryu's run, so we know that starmie is going to outperform this, and when you see what difficulties staryu had, starmie seems to have the answers in each case. For example, brock where staryu didnt have watergun. By level 50, starmie has like 30 more hp, special and speed. and defence goes up by 40, so thats a lot of extra bulk And to back it up starmie has a great matchup against elite 4 Thunderbolt against lorelie, Psychic for bruno, psychic for agatha, ice beam for alakazam.

@@avatarmufasa3628 the issue with the comparison to the staryu run is that Staryu was overlevelled by the time Brock had been defeated (level 17) whereas Starmie will probably only be level 8 after Brock (assuming he'll stick to minimum battles), then you have to factor in the fact that Starmie levels up slower than Staryu. Also remember that Alakazam could learn dig which helped against Misty's Starmie. It's possible tackle will be better against Misty's starmie than water gun but then if she uses an X defend (quite likely) it'll be even slower. As for the elite 4 I've no doubt Starmie will breeze through that, I'd be surprised if it isn't a first try victory.
