What I don’t understand is why he didn’t switch his full HP Kangaskong into Arcanine instead of saving Miltank. Kong definitely could’ve taken 2 non crit flamethrowers
I think monotype runs of games can often be boring, but what stands out to me about this video is that the selection of Pokemon is pretty interesting and forced you to come up with some pretty creative solutions. I also love seeing mons like Girafarig put in work. So i guess what id suggest is keeping that in mind when deciding what monotype runs you wanna do
Definitely continue with these Nuzlockes, it's great to see variety on this kickass channel. Gwen 1 runs, Impossible challenges, Nuzlockes, Catch 'Em Alls, and more.
@@gamermanzeake And considering ghosts barely existed and are weak to earthquake, fighting as a type was garbage, normals often get quite good stats and movepools to make up for their "normalness" and steel types to resist them also didn't exist in gen 1, there's a reason why normal types were the second kings of gen 1 after psychic. Ironically, the first gym will probably the biggest absolute brick wall of the entire run since afterwards, all the advantages I mentioned roll in and you can pick up water gun/bubblebeam to deal with rocks from then on right next in mt. moon and Cerulean.

Same reason I'd never do a grasslocke in GSC since trying to fight Falkner with a level 9 Chikorita, Bellsprout and Hoppip and only being able to bolster that with a Paras and evolving Chikorita into Bayleef for Bugsy sounds even worse.
Thank you Jrose and SimplyAJ for this epic month of daily uploading! You two guys made the past 30 days worth living for, for a lot of people! A big thank you from all of us ❤
Oh my gosh yes! You are preaching to the choir! I’ve soooo spoiled this month as my favorite content creator and SimpleAJ have been producing an awesome video ever day! I’m not sure I am gonna be able to cope once it’s over.
I love watching your videos. You seem like such a wholesome guy who just genuinely loves what he does and wants to share that with the world. I'll never get tired of watching genuinely passionate people like you
Even if these type of videos don’t perform as well as solo challenges, I appreciate the effort that goes into them and would love to see more. Keep up the great work Jrose
This man and his editor has blessed us for sure, early Christmas present for us all. Let's hope we have another month of Jrose soon ( obviously when he's recovered!).
This month of Jrose has been the best month of the year, no joke. Really liked each and every video, but again, all of Jrose's content is top notch, thanks to all the work and dedication he, and the awesome editor put in. Anyways, thanks a lot for all this great content.
Just wanted to say thanks for all of your amazing video. this month has been brilliant having a new video to watch every night! Thank you and keep up the awesome work 💪😘
That's a great new video idea! I'm so excited for this. Just one little thing I wanted to mention. I don't know how others feel about it but I was pretty confused which battles were the successful run. You can tell the gender is changing throughout the run. Maybe you could do the parts which are from failed runs in black and white instead of color? Anyway I'm super excited for this!
Great video. With your Nuzlockes, it'd be great to see all the failures and learning you do. As that's what makes your normal videos so interesting and addictive.
Jrose still absolutely killing it, even towards the end of the "Month of Jrose". Gonna be sad, but grateful once it's finally over. Sad because I'm gonna miss daily uploads, but grateful for having something to look forward to on UA-cam every day. You and AJ both deserve a good rest after this all ends.
The first time I wake up in the morning and am not greeted by a jrose11 notification. It was an absolutely brilliant month, my man. All props to you and AJ, loved every moment of it. I hope you guys enjoy a long deserved break!
Your video's bring me such nostalgia. I downloaded an emulator so I could play pokemon red/blue and ive been doing the solo challenges. I started with my personal favorite Pokémon Snorlax!
I really like these nuzlocke videos. It's a different format than I'm used to from other creators (admittedly I don't watch that many who do nuzlockes anymore) but I really like this format because it's closer to your "usual" style from other challenge videos. I think this video style for nuzlockes has a lot of merits. I personally think it might just take some time for people to warm up to this style of videos, so I don't think you should stop. You produced a lot of content recently so I wonder if it's just people with their limited time prioritizing watching the video type they're already familiar with from your channel. I hope you'll continue with both this type of video as well as your solo runs.
Thank you for all the content this month. You had made my job more bearable and enjoyable. I looked forward every night to your uploads and I watched every single one of them. Your content is amazing and your editor is elite. The effort and work has paid off and thank you again for an amazing month on content! :)
Really liked the way you told the story of this run! Felt really unique to you and your channel and I was entertained! Next time, it might be worth it to hunt out the type boosting items given out by the day of the week people so you can use more held items throughout the run
Something I'd possibly like with your Nuzlocke runs is maybe some more going through the early, failed runs - as opposed to only following the winning run and narrating it. This was an enjoyable video, but I think the suspense of "is this the winning run or will we need to reset?" might up the ante a bit.
I think this was much better than the previous nuzlock videos because you showed your progress throughout the whole run instead of just describing how to do a nuzlock. It was a better format for these type of videos.
Im not sure if this was the final video of the month of jrose, but thank you so much for all the content. This has been a huge highlight of my day this past month. I'm sure you and AJ are both ready to chill now after all this work, and it's well deserved.
I really like how your Hardcore Nuzlockes are more of a game of resource management. They're a fun and relaxing watch. The latter is I am sure the opposite of how they are for you, as these look quite tough in areas! Thanks for the month man. It's been a really bad one for me but your nightly videos really do make me happy.
*Miltank sweeps Lance with Rollout* I guess Whitney is officially stronger than Lance. I love this series, and hope you keep going with it even if it’s not as popular as the others. Thanks again for the Month of JRose!
Fun run right here! I have to say, though, I am SHOCKED you didn't use Snorlax given it's by far the strongest Pokemon in Gen 2 you can use. Of course, we all know you like a challenge, so hey!
I know Snorlax is the strongest Pokémon (by far) in Gen 2 Competitive, but remember that single-player runs aren't the same thing as Competitive Pokémon. And, since Red (and *MAYBE* Blue) is the only Trainer that matters against which you could even conceivably use Snorlax (as Snorlax only appears in Kanto in Gen 2), the *real* question is: does Snorlax provide any significant advantage against Red's Pokémon that other Pokémon (like, say, Miltank or Blissey) don't provide? Also, on a completely different note: do make sure to report the Spammer/Scammer if you haven't already.
This video was awesome and made me so happy to see some awesome Pokemon get a spotlight. I'm dying to see more of these mono hardcore nuzlockes in my favorite generation!! Thanks for the great content!!!
So love the videos and have been subbed for a while. The issue with hc nuzlockes (in my opinion), are that they perform much better when streaming live. We get to see your reactions when things die. Especially since you tell us multiple times you did 25-30 runs. That being said, for UA-cam content, maybe include some of your biggest losses throughout the runs you do. Not all, but some, include live reactions if you record them.
I think the way you play the nuzlockes is great! I think the video could use more failed run footage. In your solo runs you do great narration of boss battles where we don’t know if you win or lose, but in the nuzlocke videos we never see you wipe. I think it would be more interesting to showcase some of these dramatic battles where you eventually lose.
After hearing Jrose mention that Tauros kept losing in the lighthouse, I instantly thought the runs aren't legit, I.e he saves before each battle to ensure the run continues. Upon reading this comment, I wholeheartedly agree. Jrose used confuse ray
Normally I don't like watching Nuzlockes, for some reason this type of challenge really hits the nail on the head. Keep it up Jrose, and I'm excited to see you play every type in this way!
Holy crap "Uploaded 44 seconds ago" and one comment besides mine. I'm finally among the first people to watch the video! And this is gonna be a good one it looks like!
cool video :) idea: at the end of the run, show us your boxes or a list with all the pokemon that "died", the ones you used (especially the final team vs red) and pokemon that you caught but didnt actually use, so essentially those random useless ones. i'm especially curious on how many extras you are left with towards the end bc i can never tell if you're using all your pokemon or just a select few or if half your options are gone bc of silly mistakes or sth.
That was one of the more enjoyable Gen 2 Nuzlocke runs I've seen. Love your analysis and now I'm eager to do a run myself. Thanks for all the entertainment over the month of Jrose. You and AJ have put in a mountain of work.
In Competitive, yes. The question is: is this also true in single-player? And, seeing as Kanto is the only place in GSC you can catch a Snorlax, the other question is: does Snorlax provide a meaningful advantage compared to other Pokémon on the team already against Red (and *MAYBE* against Blue)? Side note: do make sure to report the Scammer/Spammer if you haven't done so already.
@@fightingfitz214 -You're not taking into consideration Type- -Advantage, which is key for getting STAB- -Super Effective moves against the hardest- -trainer in the game.- Sorry, it's been a few weeks. I forgot this was a Normal-Type only Nuzlocke we were talking about. My bad. My other points still stand though. You're also not taking into consideration the time it would take to get those move sets you're talking about. For example, if you want to give Snorlax Hyper Beam, one of its strongest moves, you/JRose would need to pay 7500 coins at the Celadon Game Corner, which is a LONG grind. Finally, you're also not considering the time it would take to level Snorlax up to a level where he/she/it would be significantly stronger than the Pokémon already on JRose's team. It's still possible that Snorlax would be a superior choice, but the analysis is more complex than you think, and it's an analysis you'll have to make (and make properly) if you want to successfully argue that JRose should have gone with Snorlax.
@@AhsimNreiziev I'm pretty sure that just on the way to beating all the Kanto gym leaders, a level 50 Snorlax is a mandatory encounter. But he didn't even mention it in the video, and if he was worried about it being decently high level compared to his party then he has the Master Ball.
I really enjoy watching u do nuzlocks, actually I didn't found the idea of a nuzlock good until I saw the ones u do. I really hope u do a bunch more, thanks for the videos and happy hollydays!!!
So you beat RED of all people fairly under-leveled...AWESOME! Gotta love when things come together. Also, quite heartwarming to know as much as GSC aren't the best for challenge runs balance-wise, they were still your favorite games growing up. I was kinda similar in that regard, hence why I ADORED the HGSS remakes. I almost feel HGSS was the last time I was in love with EVERYTHING about a Pokemon game basically, since as good as Gen 5 still was, felt some fatigue I didn't get over until ORAS.
You talk a bit about runs where you lost.. I think it'd be somewhat nice to see a few of those key-battles where you lost to really see why they didn't work. Although I see, that it is hard to fit it into the video since it is allready an hour long
I love your gen 2 videos so very much, it ain't like I don't love all of Pokemon I just have the most nostalgia for gen 1 and two, and frankly I'm still recovering financially from COVID so thank you so much for getting us through the last couple of years
I actually like a lot of Normal types so this was nice to see! Sad Furret didn't show up though. I know it's not very good statistically, but I love the little guy. =3
Just curious - how are you playing on the original cartridge? Are you replacing the battery every couple years? I’ve replaced by a couple times and I’m curious if you’re doing the same thing or if there’s a workaround
great video, but a bit of feedback- I know these take a lot of attempts, but I believe naming your Pokémon is a very important part of what I find makes nuzlocks enjoyable. whether silly, serious, or somewhere in between, names help us bond with our Pokémon, and it makes the moments more poignant. nuzlocks are tragedies- it’s worthwhile to make the losses sting more.
Jrose you're a genius in battle! Man really you play so professionally and cleverly, all the time you study the chances for every single battle and you always do a great job. I guess that is got to be the most underleveled battle against Red so far and yet you did great against despite your low levels. Congratulations! You are intellectual culture Jrose! Great job!
3:07 Jrose's mom hated him. If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would destroy every single gen 1 and 2 cartrige in existance. Those games are so. Freaking. BAD!
great video. I enjoyed the whole adventure from front to back. The pointers you made such as holding off pigeotto for early wing attack were very useful.
biggest achievement is your gold cartridge still working. I was devastated years ago when my silver one went blank (Got it at release when I was 7 i think?). The save just wiped and it won't save any data.... a thousand hours of childhood gone! As much I hate gen 2 now, it was such a big part of our past.
I love these types of videos! The only thing I can think of would be to cut a little more of the middle game out when you got a little repetitive. Aside from that consider putting a banner around your screen that tracks deaths, your current team etc. I've seen others do that and it's always been well received
Here's what I think about your HC nuzlockes : It's good that you're doing videos with whole teams because that gives more options in one fight than with just one pokemon. But unlike in a solo run, you fear losing pokemons and can't retry a hard fight until you find the right, consistent strategy (which is what I think you're great to watch doing). So maybe beating a non-nuzlocke game with a whole team (maybe a set team of 6 weak pokemons for the whole run, to keep things hard) at the lowest possible level would be more fun.
I really like your nuzlockes, very nice change up from other ones I watch and honestly I like informative videos so the detail you go into is quite nice and refreshing. 10/10.
It's a shame it isn't performing as well, because I LOVE the monotype challenges. It always made me feel like an aspiring gym leader proving their worth for the league to do myself, but I wasn't able to stomach nuzlocking it like you did. Keep up the good work!
It's pretty entertaining. What I don't like is precise team planning. I know I'm playing a nuzlocke and I'm stuck with sandshrew and whooper. My geodude dies to a crit, and Whitney gives me anxiety. I don't want to see you fail, but these runs are so perfect. I want imperfection. Use ditto because you got nothing else. You're doing great. But i wish you would be as unlucky as me from time to time:)
This is an interesting challenge I’m definitely gonna try this ! Thank you J for making old Pokémon games I grew up with still relevant and give them more replay value with challenges
Month of Jrose🙏 Seriously though, excellent video. Love the Typelock videos, but also really love Solo Run videos, so excited to see both. On the topic of them not performing as well, that is only because your audience is used to specific style of videos and will expand as you add a broader variety to your channel(as long as it doesn’t hurt your older style of content)
I've been loving this month! I think the reason these videos aren't performing as well is because we come here for the stories whereas the nuzlocke videos feel more like guides. Maybe that's just me though.
Great job, and I hope these Nuzlocke training sessions teach you a lot about what helps in other generations, which hopefully saves you time in the future. I certainly learn a lot. That Blissey was such a special wall! Reminds me of the Chansey trainer in I think Victory Road in Red/Blue that soft locked me with soft boiled since it has infinite PP and I was training up weaker Pokémon. Brutal.
I think it’s awesome you’re mixing in some nuzlockes and enjoying them too. Always loved your solo runs and I love these videos too. You’re passion and effort really show in the commentaries keep up the great work!
Loving all these videos this month! more of these HC nuzlockes! A few months ago, I started playing monotypes of all types in all generations...not nuzlocke though, I catch the first mon of each species that I encounter (not limited to one encounter per route), I don't use items in battle, I fully train evs, I use rare candies to reach level caps and I don't deposit mons that faint. I guess my goal is to have fun, see how the different types have evolved over the generations and what teams and mons I want to use the most to complete each game. It's been a blast! I am currently playing Water monotype in Alpha Sapphire!
This was much more entertaining to me than your previous nuzlocke content. Although I enjoyed them, they weren't your usual style. This was a good mix of your usual style and nuzlocke content. I know you have plenty of video ideas in the works, but some of these "theme team" challenges in some rom hacks would be cool. Crystal Clear is a really fun rom hack imo and somewhat true to the originals. I would also find Radical Red content interesting, though that changes soooo much it might not hit with your audience the same way. Keep up the good work!
I like the idea of spicing up the typical Nuzlocke challenge with a Type restriction. In my opinion that differentiates your challenges for the rest. And I have to say the first general Nuzlocke video wasn't very enticing to me, it just felt like any other Nuzlocke video. This was actually entertaining again. It's the kind of challenge I would also do if I was a UA-camr and the main reason why I follow your videos. Your style resonates with me. :)
For a Role Play style Type Theme Team, I love going through Sword & Shield, as in most cases you can build your entire 6 Pokémon team on your first visit to the wild area, and then you get to travel with your friends through the whole game~
Thanks so much for this amazing month Jrose (and AJ!). I've been watching your video's for over 2 years now, and though I understand these challenges are very taxing on your brain, I really missed your video's in my life in the months that you sadly couldn't upload. This amazing month has me excited every day for a new video, with some new challenges I haven't seen you do before but also with a lot of your great red/blue video's I love so much. Although I'm usually not much of a stream watcher, I'll try to soon hop on your stream and watch you play live! As a pokemon collector since red/blue/yellow (Only skipped Ultra Sun/Moon after I felt really disappointed with Sun/Moon) you have given me a lot of hype and inspiration to pick up older games and try some challenges myself! I really want to wish you all the best with your life, your channel and the amazing challenges that lie ahead! Sincerely (one of) your biggest fan(s) :)

In your solo runs you do great narration of boss battles where we don’t know if you win or lose, but in the nuzlocke videos we never see you wipe. I think it would be more interesting to showcase some of these dramatic battles where you eventually lose.
This
Hard agree. Watching Jrose11 figure out what works and his narration of that is the best.
After hearing Jrose mention that Tauros kept losing in the lighthouse, I instantly thought the runs aren't legit, I.e he saves before each battle to ensure the run continues. Upon reading this comment, I wholeheartedly agree. Jrose used confuse ray
Normally I don't like watching Nuzlockes, for some reason this type of challenge really hits the nail on the head. Keep it up Jrose, and I'm excited to see you play every type in this way!
Holy crap "Uploaded 44 seconds ago" and one comment besides mine.
I'm finally among the first people to watch the video!
And this is gonna be a good one it looks like!
I would love to see more of monotype nuzlocke runs. This was so much fun to watch, and I imagine most types would be more difficult than normal
Now I can fall asleep thank you jrose, these videos are really soothing to go to bed to
Gaaaaayyy!!
I love this run. I love your breakdowns during your solo runs and find it works well with a nuzlocke please please continue them.
cool video :)
idea: at the end of the run, show us your boxes or a list with all the pokemon that "died", the ones you used (especially the final team vs red) and pokemon that you caught but didnt actually use, so essentially those random useless ones. i'm especially curious on how many extras you are left with towards the end bc i can never tell if you're using all your pokemon or just a select few or if half your options are gone bc of silly mistakes or sth.
There was a level 3 rattata he uses as fodder
This just reminds me that he doesn't name his Pokémon, and that's one of the core rules of a nuzlocke 😭
This is a fantastic new angle. Looking forward to more
As someone who's done hundreds of nuzlockes in silver you absolutely got the optimal 6 Pokemon for a normal run before Faulkner
That was one of the more enjoyable Gen 2 Nuzlocke runs I've seen. Love your analysis and now I'm eager to do a run myself. Thanks for all the entertainment over the month of Jrose. You and AJ have put in a mountain of work.
I'm surprised you didn't use Snorlax. It's widely considered the best Pokemon in the game.
In Competitive, yes. The question is: is this also true in single-player? And, seeing as Kanto is the only place in GSC you can catch a Snorlax, the other question is: does Snorlax provide a meaningful advantage compared to other Pokémon on the team already against Red (and *MAYBE* against Blue)?
Side note: do make sure to report the Scammer/Spammer if you haven't done so already.
@@AhsimNreiziev yes, it has better stats than any other Pokémon on his team and several options for sets

-You're not taking into consideration Type-
-Advantage, which is key for getting STAB-
-Super Effective moves against the hardest-
-trainer in the game.-
Sorry, it's been a few weeks. I forgot this was a Normal-Type only Nuzlocke we were talking about. My bad. My other points still stand though.
You're also not taking into consideration the time it would take to get those move sets you're talking about. For example, if you want to give Snorlax Hyper Beam, one of its strongest moves, you/JRose would need to pay 7500 coins at the Celadon Game Corner, which is a LONG grind.
Finally, you're also not considering the time it would take to level Snorlax up to a level where he/she/it would be significantly stronger than the Pokémon already on JRose's team.
It's still possible that Snorlax would be a superior choice, but the analysis is more complex than you think, and it's an analysis you'll have to make (and make properly) if you want to successfully argue that JRose should have gone with Snorlax.
@@AhsimNreiziev curse/return + rest/sleep talk being a moveset that can solo no even needing rest/sleep talk if u want other optoins
@@AhsimNreiziev I'm pretty sure that just on the way to beating all the Kanto gym leaders, a level 50 Snorlax is a mandatory encounter. But he didn't even mention it in the video, and if he was worried about it being decently high level compared to his party then he has the Master Ball.
I really enjoy watching u do nuzlocks, actually I didn't found the idea of a nuzlock good until I saw the ones u do. I really hope u do a bunch more, thanks for the videos and happy hollydays!!!
I did a Bug type run once. MVP by far was elemental punch Ledian. I would love to see Bug Catcher JRose try it out!
So you beat RED of all people fairly under-leveled...AWESOME! Gotta love when things come together.
Also, quite heartwarming to know as much as GSC aren't the best for challenge runs balance-wise, they were still your favorite games growing up. I was kinda similar in that regard, hence why I ADORED the HGSS remakes. I almost feel HGSS was the last time I was in love with EVERYTHING about a Pokemon game basically, since as good as Gen 5 still was, felt some fatigue I didn't get over until ORAS.
You talk a bit about runs where you lost.. I think it'd be somewhat nice to see a few of those key-battles where you lost to really see why they didn't work. Although I see, that it is hard to fit it into the video since it is allready an hour long
I love your gen 2 videos so very much, it ain't like I don't love all of Pokemon I just have the most nostalgia for gen 1 and two, and frankly I'm still recovering financially from COVID so thank you so much for getting us through the last couple of years
I actually like a lot of Normal types so this was nice to see! Sad Furret didn't show up though. I know it's not very good statistically, but I love the little guy. =3
He was too busy walkin
@@emblemblade9245 That is a very cute gif~
Super excited for the remaining types! The concept for these videos is freaking awesome, imo
Just curious - how are you playing on the original cartridge? Are you replacing the battery every couple years? I’ve replaced by a couple times and I’m curious if you’re doing the same thing or if there’s a workaround
great video, but a bit of feedback- I know these take a lot of attempts, but I believe naming your Pokémon is a very important part of what I find makes nuzlocks enjoyable.
whether silly, serious, or somewhere in between, names help us bond with our Pokémon, and it makes the moments more poignant.
nuzlocks are tragedies- it’s worthwhile to make the losses sting more.
Can't wait for psychic run, purely for Espeon. I'd also love to see an eeveelution run, but that may not be possible
Jrose you're a genius in battle! Man really you play so professionally and cleverly, all the time you study the chances for every single battle and you always do a great job. I guess that is got to be the most underleveled battle against Red so far and yet you did great against despite your low levels. Congratulations! You are intellectual culture Jrose! Great job!
3:07 Jrose's mom hated him. If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would destroy every single gen 1 and 2 cartrige in existance. Those games are so. Freaking. BAD!
You’re a bot
great video. I enjoyed the whole adventure from front to back. The pointers you made such as holding off pigeotto for early wing attack were very useful.
New video today?
biggest achievement is your gold cartridge still working. I was devastated years ago when my silver one went blank (Got it at release when I was 7 i think?). The save just wiped and it won't save any data.... a thousand hours of childhood gone! As much I hate gen 2 now, it was such a big part of our past.
I love these types of videos! The only thing I can think of would be to cut a little more of the middle game out when you got a little repetitive. Aside from that consider putting a banner around your screen that tracks deaths, your current team etc. I've seen others do that and it's always been well received
Here's what I think about your HC nuzlockes :
It's good that you're doing videos with whole teams because that gives more options in one fight than with just one pokemon.
But unlike in a solo run, you fear losing pokemons and can't retry a hard fight until you find the right, consistent strategy (which is what I think you're great to watch doing).
So maybe beating a non-nuzlocke game with a whole team (maybe a set team of 6 weak pokemons for the whole run, to keep things hard) at the lowest possible level would be more fun.
I really like your nuzlockes, very nice change up from other ones I watch and honestly I like informative videos so the detail you go into is quite nice and refreshing. 10/10.
It's a shame it isn't performing as well, because I LOVE the monotype challenges. It always made me feel like an aspiring gym leader proving their worth for the league to do myself, but I wasn't able to stomach nuzlocking it like you did. Keep up the good work!
It's pretty entertaining. What I don't like is precise team planning. I know I'm playing a nuzlocke and I'm stuck with sandshrew and whooper. My geodude dies to a crit, and Whitney gives me anxiety. I don't want to see you fail, but these runs are so perfect. I want imperfection. Use ditto because you got nothing else. You're doing great. But i wish you would be as unlucky as me from time to time:)
Feed back: I enjoyed watching this as much as the solo runs! Thanks for all the content!
This is an interesting challenge I’m definitely gonna try this ! Thank you J for making old Pokémon games I grew up with still relevant and give them more replay value with challenges
Month of Jrose🙏
Seriously though, excellent video. Love the Typelock videos, but also really love Solo Run videos, so excited to see both.
On the topic of them not performing as well, that is only because your audience is used to specific style of videos and will expand as you add a broader variety to your channel(as long as it doesn’t hurt your older style of content)
I've been loving this month! I think the reason these videos aren't performing as well is because we come here for the stories whereas the nuzlocke videos feel more like guides. Maybe that's just me though.
Wish I had some advice for your style on these vids, but I do want yo reiterate how much I love these.
My new favorite Jrose series hands down
So excited for this series to continue :) Amazing as always!
Great job, and I hope these Nuzlocke training sessions teach you a lot about what helps in other generations, which hopefully saves you time in the future. I certainly learn a lot. That Blissey was such a special wall! Reminds me of the Chansey trainer in I think Victory Road in Red/Blue that soft locked me with soft boiled since it has infinite PP and I was training up weaker Pokémon. Brutal.
Sounds legit...
JroseHG baby!!! My favourite style of pokemon playthrough to watch!
I think it’s awesome you’re mixing in some nuzlockes and enjoying them too. Always loved your solo runs and I love these videos too. You’re passion and effort really show in the commentaries keep up the great work!
Great attempt! I'm enjoying this. I just throw it on while I'm at the gym and listen to your progress and I love it! Keep it up!
Loving all these videos this month! more of these HC nuzlockes! A few months ago, I started playing monotypes of all types in all generations...not nuzlocke though, I catch the first mon of each species that I encounter (not limited to one encounter per route), I don't use items in battle, I fully train evs, I use rare candies to reach level caps and I don't deposit mons that faint. I guess my goal is to have fun, see how the different types have evolved over the generations and what teams and mons I want to use the most to complete each game. It's been a blast! I am currently playing Water monotype in Alpha Sapphire!
This was much more entertaining to me than your previous nuzlocke content. Although I enjoyed them, they weren't your usual style. This was a good mix of your usual style and nuzlocke content.
I know you have plenty of video ideas in the works, but some of these "theme team" challenges in some rom hacks would be cool. Crystal Clear is a really fun rom hack imo and somewhat true to the originals. I would also find Radical Red content interesting, though that changes soooo much it might not hit with your audience the same way. Keep up the good work!
Uhhh I love the editing, AJ deserves praise
There is not enough OG GSC content. Glad to *finally* see some!!
I like the idea of spicing up the typical Nuzlocke challenge with a Type restriction. In my opinion that differentiates your challenges for the rest. And I have to say the first general Nuzlocke video wasn't very enticing to me, it just felt like any other Nuzlocke video. This was actually entertaining again. It's the kind of challenge I would also do if I was a UA-camr and the main reason why I follow your videos. Your style resonates with me. :)
For a Role Play style Type Theme Team, I love going through Sword & Shield, as in most cases you can build your entire 6 Pokémon team on your first visit to the wild area, and then you get to travel with your friends through the whole game~
Thanks so much for this amazing month Jrose (and AJ!). I've been watching your video's for over 2 years now, and though I understand these challenges are very taxing on your brain, I really missed your video's in my life in the months that you sadly couldn't upload. This amazing month has me excited every day for a new video, with some new challenges I haven't seen you do before but also with a lot of your great red/blue video's I love so much. Although I'm usually not much of a stream watcher, I'll try to soon hop on your stream and watch you play live! As a pokemon collector since red/blue/yellow (Only skipped Ultra Sun/Moon after I felt really disappointed with Sun/Moon) you have given me a lot of hype and inspiration to pick up older games and try some challenges myself!
I really want to wish you all the best with your life, your channel and the amazing challenges that lie ahead!
Sincerely (one of) your biggest fan(s) :)
Please do more of these! This was a phenomenal watch, especially how it all led to Red 😅 the excitement in your commentary is A+
