Last time there was a month of Jrose I was struggling with anxiety through my grad school program so much so that I couldn’t sleep more than 4 hours any given night and these videos were the only thing that could distract me enough from my anxiety to fall asleep. Now, I’m two weeks away from graduating from my doctoral program and in a much better place mentally and I’m so excited to enjoy this once again in the right mindset. Thank you Jrose11! Your work and positivity do more than you know and I’m grateful for all the time and effort you put in for us!
8:41 "The Cheri berry was taken and replaced with Cheri Berry" 8:48"In the first battle I forgot to equip the Cheri Berry" ......Are you sure about that? 🤨 Also great video as always!💜
took me way too long to realise that the thumbnail was Abra benchpressing spoons.. I thought it was freaking out at the dentist's office or something! I should stay away from YT until I've fully woken up..
Probably really really really bad. Gen 4 mechanics change struggle to be 25% max health as recoil, so if you struggle 4 times, you die. Might not even be possible but I sure can't wait to see what jrose does with it
23:36 I think the strat would have been to use Focus Punch on the healing turn. That way, the Skarmory is back at pinch HP and doesn't get an opportunity to attack again.
I'm waiting for the day when JRose releases a video. "Can I beat Pokémon [insert version] with [insert mon] while it has [insert limitation] while I'm trying to cook minute rice in 58 seconds?"
Was not expecting the 2nd half or the end. Was not expecting you to try that. Would have liked to see an Iron Tail attempt. Great video as always. Hyped for another month of JRose!
Wait wait wait. You’re fighting Sydney and it’s 30 minutes into the video. But this video is 1 hour and 19 minutes long. Oh god. Edit: THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF THE INTRO MUSIC
Ooooo! While I enjoy your Red/Blue speedruns, this is the kind of content that got me started on your channel. The impossible challenges are always fun.
Would be interesting to see how Abra fares after the physical/special split in Gen 4. Great video as always, and looking forward to all the upcoming content! ❤
Would have been interested to see you try to use Secret Power's paralysis to get Focus Punch to land on Winona's Skarmory. Still luck-based, but it might have required a lot less grinding (at least for that hurdle in particular...) Fantastic video as always. The things you put yourself through for our entertainment, absolutely heroic.
Note for the editor: the speed skipping at the beginning (first 6 or so minutes) of the video hurts my eyes. Maybe I’m getting old, and maybe it’s just me, but I literally couldn’t watch most of the beginning of this video. Maybe it’s just Ruby/Sapphire since I’ve never had this issue watching Jrose videos, but it was honestly impossible to watch the beginning of the video. That said, Abra with only physical moves is ridiculous. Thanks Jrose!
Thank god I needed an hour or so long vid to get thru the end of the day at work. xD Thanks, Jrose. I promise I won't sleep thru it this time xD I doubt the other people would want the forklift driver sleeping on the job, lol
I just got to Steven how is there this much video left I'll be back to this comment after I finish the video. Absolute cinema. Jrose11 my goat. You should have your name on the Hollywood walk of fame.
IM IMPRESSED Jrose As someone who plays ruby sapphire emerald alot THAT IS NUTS you subject yourself to an abra physical only run My worst struggle WAS seedot vs DRAKE where I almost failed the challenge outright I have seen OTHER solo runners fail with both beautifly and dustox at these versions Jrose is VERY VERY skilled compared to most players in this community
So first December video and it's a DOUBLE FEATURE of Abra. Shame that even with Emerald Abra, Steven could ONLY be beaten with Double Team aka NOT how you like to do it. Then again, you faced the harder Steven, so...yeah. Anyway I wonder what you'll be doing next! Seems like quite the treat for "Month of JRose".
side-nye, fwebb, gluh-seeya and drakky is my favorite bit this vid right next to quoting the Stadium Announcer, something I still do to this day a well for tabletop games
Why bother reseting the game trying to get the correct stats? If you just hacked the game to get the correct abra, like you obviously do to replace the starter, nobody would fault you for it, it would just save you some precious time!
You know, I wonder if ghost type being physical was actually originally a bug, but they kept it. Gen 1 is very buggy, the only ghost type pokemon are all special attackers, and shadow ball lowers special. And instead of fix it in gen 2, they made the dark type as basically a new ghost type thats special and immune to psychic.
2 thoughts: 1. If you're going for luck based strategies, why not use save states etc to save yourself the grind and prevent burnout? 2. HP ground for Ruby/Sapphire Champion's Metagross? (Again if you're going to reset for IVs anyways why not pre-set them?)
good LORD you didn’t have to go this hard for the first video of the month
I would say this challenge is stoo much for any month
Yeah
Chill. He probably recorded this weeks ago
But he did. He did go this hard. He did it for us.
We’re eating good chat

Congrats, Dr. Sloppy Pickles!
Congratulations, Dr. Sloppy Pickles!
Congratulations, Dr. Sloppy Pickles!
Doc Slopp
that intro at 43:44 caught me off guard because I was listening to this video in the background and it made me think I accidentally had autoplay on
Haha same, I immediately checked my phone 😂
7:17 😏 you know damn well we wanna watch you suffer. Sp atk makuhita is DEFINITELY next.
Let the suffering BEGIN!!!
Brutality
Physical only chansey
15:32 "Pick-up Slakings". Great video, cheers!
All the pokemon NPC's wonder why this boy is walking around battling with a physical Abra instead of using his hacked Slaking without truant.
This is the Pokemon version of punching a wooden wall until you can punch through it.
You worked really hard to make this video. It is greatly appreciated!
I love these unique restriction playthroughs you do, they keep the games so fresh
Damn, JRose is going off hard right out of the gate! Awh yeah, December's gonna be a good one.
Oh man, let’s go month of Jrose!
Is it a month of Jrose? Did I miss something? Bc that's awesome if it is lol.
@@MoonMegs Jrose announced he wanted to try and release a video every day this month.
I'm so glad you pronounced the E4's names properly again.
8:41 "The Cheri berry was taken and replaced with Cheri Berry" 8:48"In the first battle I forgot to equip the Cheri Berry" ......Are you sure about that? 🤨
Also great video as always!💜
Lmao he does indeed reset before it would activate
i scrolled down to the comments so fast when i saw it lol
You had too much fun saying GLALIE 😂
What I like about these runs is how items that are forgotten and useless for most players like the King's Rock become CRUCIAL.
took me way too long to realise that the thumbnail was Abra benchpressing spoons.. I thought it was freaking out at the dentist's office or something! I should stay away from YT until I've fully woken up..
Now I wonder how would a gen 4+ Abra run feel, this time you actually have a stab move in zen headbutt
Probably really really really bad. Gen 4 mechanics change struggle to be 25% max health as recoil, so if you struggle 4 times, you die.
Might not even be possible but I sure can't wait to see what jrose does with it
Plus a lot more options in general- I.E. the elemental punches if he did HGSS
In Platinum you get Return right away, so at least you can get a riskless 102 power Normal attack before any major fights
Gentleman, it is with great pleasure to announce that we are kicking off the Month of JROSE
I gasped when I paused right before the first Elite Four member and saw the next HOUR would just be the elite four
Abra, Abra, Kadabra, JRose gonna reach out and grab ya
Bibbidi babbidi
Underrated post
Love the Steve Miller Band reference!
It's not. It's an Eminem reference. He sampled the song recently. @@dawnsbuneary
its is. eminem says something else during that part@@catsabotage3362
29:40 into an 1 hr 20 min video, and we are facing the elite 4 at level 100
Thats exactly when i looked at the clock too and just thought “OH NO!”
"Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, this aint no magic trick, you better scram" shoutout to Ztorm.
I'm digging the Elite Zigzagoon Support Army. Good job, little guys!
Love the new thumbnail style, keep it up!
As someone with a cat named Abra, and an Abra tattoo on my back....this is awesome! 😂
IT BEGINS
I'm so glad the Fweb running joke carried on. I don't know why but it makes me happy.
This is such a good video. My reaction at the end oh my. Wicked.
15:38 pickup slackings??! That sounds op as heck
15:32
Jroses advent calendar is here! Here we go!
23:36 I think the strat would have been to use Focus Punch on the healing turn. That way, the Skarmory is back at pinch HP and doesn't get an opportunity to attack again.
Thanks for the shoutout! These challenges were a lot of fun :)
I'm waiting for the day when JRose releases a video.
"Can I beat Pokémon [insert version] with [insert mon] while it has [insert limitation] while I'm trying to cook minute rice in 58 seconds?"
Frankly in Gen 1 with all the glitches? Might be possible
Was not expecting the 2nd half or the end. Was not expecting you to try that. Would have liked to see an Iron Tail attempt. Great video as always. Hyped for another month of JRose!
That thumbnail art needs to be in a museum.
Man the thumbnail for this video is fantastic
Wait wait wait. You’re fighting Sydney and it’s 30 minutes into the video.
But this video is 1 hour and 19 minutes long.
Oh god.
Edit: THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF THE INTRO MUSIC
What a start for the month of jrose
MONTH OF JROSE
MONTH OF JROSE
CHRISTMAS COMING EARLY, BABY
this is one of my favorite thumbnails ever
Youre serious? Were STARTING with this??? Alright!
57:39 don't feel so bad Jrose, at least in gen 2+ sand attack only lowers accuracy to 75% instead of 66%
Special attacking makuhita next!
Hearts for makuhita here❤❤❤
10:10 ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... a Magneton
I felt silly watching the Winona battle with you sitting on shadow ball, I forgot steel used to resist ghost
Jrose: "Only 2 more fights!"
Me: *hovers over the progress bar"
Love J rose. Love Hoenn. Month starting strong
Ooooo! While I enjoy your Red/Blue speedruns, this is the kind of content that got me started on your channel. The impossible challenges are always fun.
Would be interesting to see how Abra fares after the physical/special split in Gen 4.
Great video as always, and looking forward to all the upcoming content! ❤
adamant abra is diabolical
I love a good "I refuse to take no for an answer" JRose vid.
When he got to the elite four and I saw that there was still an hour left in the video, all I could think was just "oh nooooooo"
Would have been interested to see you try to use Secret Power's paralysis to get Focus Punch to land on Winona's Skarmory. Still luck-based, but it might have required a lot less grinding (at least for that hurdle in particular...)
Fantastic video as always. The things you put yourself through for our entertainment, absolutely heroic.
Can I just say, this thumbnail is a work of art.
37:31 one trainer left and over half the video remaining. Dear lord above…
Note for the editor: the speed skipping at the beginning (first 6 or so minutes) of the video hurts my eyes.
Maybe I’m getting old, and maybe it’s just me, but I literally couldn’t watch most of the beginning of this video. Maybe it’s just Ruby/Sapphire since I’ve never had this issue watching Jrose videos, but it was honestly impossible to watch the beginning of the video.
That said, Abra with only physical moves is ridiculous. Thanks Jrose!
love the cute thumbnail so much
Love that he equipped the Cheri Berry for Watson instead of the Cheri Berry hahahaha
Thank god I needed an hour or so long vid to get thru the end of the day at work. xD Thanks, Jrose. I promise I won't sleep thru it this time xD
I doubt the other people would want the forklift driver sleeping on the job, lol
I just got to Steven how is there this much video left I'll be back to this comment after I finish the video.
Absolute cinema. Jrose11 my goat. You should have your name on the Hollywood walk of fame.
You starting with this!? Excited foe the month of vids mate - good luck!
A cool ending would’ve been trading the second Abra into Ruby and Sapphire, and beating it with it.
Everytime he calls your name you heat up like a burning flame… thrower..
Yes! A new Jrose11 video AND it's Sapphire with Abra. Love your videos!
IM IMPRESSED Jrose
As someone who plays ruby sapphire emerald alot THAT IS NUTS you subject yourself to an abra physical only run
My worst struggle WAS seedot vs DRAKE where I almost failed the challenge outright
I have seen OTHER solo runners fail with both beautifly and dustox at these versions

Then again, you faced the harder Steven, so...yeah. Anyway I wonder what you'll be doing next! Seems like quite the treat for "Month of JRose".
Never would have I thought Jrose would actually use Mimic sucessfully in gen 3 or Focus Punch in a playthrough
Great start to the month of Jrose!!!
The difference in Final HP between the Abras is crazy.
Oh man Jrose I love your vids but was getting tired of constant Gen 1 vids. So hype to see a Hoenn vid :)
Yo that thumbnail is ACES.
Lil dude lifting spoons 😂
Put this on right as work started. Pokemon challenges are awesome to listen to, like podcasts.
I was just watching your Mewtwo video and now this dropped. You're a legend man.
Kanto: Done
Johto: Easy
Hoenn: Piece a cake
Sinnoh: Bring it
Can’t wait for this month now. Was hoping you would do this again one day
side-nye, fwebb, gluh-seeya and drakky is my favorite bit this vid
right next to quoting the Stadium Announcer, something I still do to this day a well for tabletop games
This is the abra that woke up and went to the gym 😂😂😂
Happy month of jrose!!!! Im excited to be here for this month! Btw thank you for your content! It's a huge inspiration!
New Jrose, new thumbnail art, TWO challenge runs at once?! We are so spoiled. 😂
1:08:50 literally used the power of friendship to become champion
OMG!!! I LOVED THE THUMBNAIL!
Yay, Month of Jrose and the pretty thumbnails are back
The GOAT has uploaded
7:18 Now I want Makuhita with only special moves
Why bother reseting the game trying to get the correct stats? If you just hacked the game to get the correct abra, like you obviously do to replace the starter, nobody would fault you for it, it would just save you some precious time!
JRose is the best, always gives amazing Christmas presents!
We are absolutely spoiled this Christmas season
You know, I wonder if ghost type being physical was actually originally a bug, but they kept it.
Gen 1 is very buggy, the only ghost type pokemon are all special attackers, and shadow ball lowers special.
And instead of fix it in gen 2, they made the dark type as basically a new ghost type thats special and immune to psychic.
Shadow Ball was introduced in gen 2. But yeah, every gen 2-3 Dark move is currently physical. Make it make sense Game freak.
The GOAT of single runs starts the month 🙌😊
2 thoughts:
1. If you're going for luck based strategies, why not use save states etc to save yourself the grind and prevent burnout?
2. HP ground for Ruby/Sapphire Champion's Metagross? (Again if you're going to reset for IVs anyways why not pre-set them?)
Best Christmas present ever. Thanks Jrose
24:10 that would make for an interesting rom hack... pokemon where even your own pokemon disobey if its level is above an obedience cap
Ngl I got a bit scared at first when I saw that there was still 45 minutes of video left at Sapphire Glacia
Bruh is a legend. Mewtwo has nothing on jrose
you ever kick ball through brick wall?
Season tradition, a month of love from JRose
It is month of JRose. And I am here for it.
For skarmary you should've had kept secret power to paralyze it so you could get the focus punch off a bit more consistently
Why do I feel like focus punch/ dynamic punch is gonna be used.
Edit: seedot bide challenge pokemon emerald
thank you for your sage wisdom, jrose sensei
