To be fair, there's a difference in patience in grinding and a patience in trying to do every calculation you can beforehand on what you're going to do and plan to make sure crucial members don't faint on you that you can't use later down the road to potentially completely kill a run. If the Abra have an issue of progressing, you don't have to start completely from scratch if it dies and just have to think of another way to overcome and clearly to grind. There's 2 different kind of patiences there. I'd rather level a Bulbasaur into a Venusaur in Route 1 than to do a Nuzlocke.
Grinding a single pokemon is work, but you don't always have the risk of a bad fight completely killing a run. That right there is an easy way to just completely kill motivation vs. trying your best and realizing a single mon run just isn't feasible.
I love how Vileplume went from being expendable to taking care of half of Red's team and allowing Tentacruel to come in free to sweep the rest. Amazing run
Poison is kind of the best for a type themed nuzlocke run, with the sheer variety of dual types. I’ve always enjoyed my poison team runs had a good one in fire red. Very much enjoyed this upload! It’s comforting to watch creativity in these old games continue from our childhood. In a few months I’ll be 32 and life has so many unexpected twists and turns. This kind of thing is a comforting antidote.
Bro left in the footage of them going into the ruins of alph and forgetting no one could learn flash. The amount of respect I have has increased so much.
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 Vileplume will have my love forever after it saved my dumb ass the first time I fought Raihan in Shield. putting Duraludon to sleep to burn its Dynamax turns, Moonblast for neutral damage. it was like, plan C, too.
Honestly tentacruel is one of those pokemon you think is weak until you use it in a nuzlocke where it turns out to be one of the stronger picks no matter the game. I learned to appreciate a lot of monsters such as zubat, geodude, clefairy and dustox.
Used Dustox in my Emerald Nuzlocke, it definitely fell off by comparison once I hit the elite 4 but the fact it was a useful critter throughout up to that point is awesome.
Love gen 2...ill never forget waking up on Christmas to my very own gameboy color nd a copy of silver version..man i will never forget tht morning! Then crystal came out nd my mind was blown..moving sprites! Oh the nostalgia...gen 2 will ALWAYS be my favorite
I enjoyed this different challenge from Jrose. I struggle with Nuzlockes due to lack of patience too. I appreciate Jrose admitting that and still doing this run. Very entertaining!
this is such a cruel fate for Blue, wiping out 80% of JRose's team and not even being the one true champion. Red is such a sham... that said: Vileplume is the true GOAT, completely underestimated by JRose but pivotal in making way for Tentacruel
On the tenth day of Christmas my Jrose gave to meeeeee Poison types are awesome Going fast with Sandshrew Nooooo exp Kanto Suff’ring with Shedinja Vileplume in Kanto Fiiiiiire types are traaaaaash Gen 1 mechanics Ce-le-bi Lots of tiny bugs And an Abra with really buff aaaarmsss
Your Videos come Up around 0-3 am here in Germany and I lost my job last week so I stay up and look forward to every one of them. Great Timing with the month, great Pokémon content I appreciate it Gen 2 sprites are peak Pokemon Sprites btw and Vileplume and Tentacruel put in some work 💪
These monotype based videos have been really enjoyable. Nuzlocke or not, it's really neat to do a run where you are limited by the game's available roster. Keep em coming!
Poison types are my favorite types of Pokemon (especially the Nido lines), so I'm glad to see them get some due recognition. And this is a good game to do that, as they are surprisingly uncommon in most future Pokemon games. As for nuzlockes, I have no intention of doing those. I'm not looking for a challenge when I play Pokemon. I just wanna play around with my favorite monsters.
In an infusion room right now getting treatment, and your series has got me through it. Thanks man, keep it up. You don’t know how much this means to people.
The "what the hell-k" at 17:13 cracked me up. My dad would say that all the time growing up because my mom didn't want him to swear in front of us kids.
Loved this one! I love the speedruns, but man seeing an old school gen 2 with poison types is amazing. Glad you are sounding like you are having. Fun, and I pray this next year serves you well brother!
Been watching you a while & I am always impressed with your runs! And it's great to see you showcase these runs. The Vileplume/Tentacruel was a great combo to see pull you through Red's battle!
I was listening to the vid in the background while playing, not realizing it's not - in fact - another FlygonHG Nuzlocke; my brain didn't even detect that the voice is yours instead. Only once you mentioned "I'm in Pokemon Crystal", something in my brain went: "...WAIT, this is a JRose video" and the fact you mention him just moments after is just so hilarious to me 🤣 Love both of your content! 🐸
@@LazurBeemz Would be the case normally. But Jrose11 has to put some mental distance being the Return By Death Pokemon Master. How many pokemon has he watched die by his mistakes, How many more mistakes and poor decisions will end up killing more pokemon.
My favorite type, with my favorite Pokémon on the cover! Poison is way underrated I’ll never understand how people think it’s bottom 3. Think of good poison types or mons that benefit from it, I promise you there is no shortage
The hardcore nuzlocke rules state that you can't exceed the level of the next gym leader *until the start of the battle*. You can actually level up in battle. You're making the rules harder than literally every other nuzlocker that uses the hardcore rules. I admire your dedication to making things harder. ETA: Then I see you comment on it. Still, the admiration stands
It's kind of funny to see so many people hate on the modern exp share but at the same it has become standard to cheat in rare candies in these challenge runs because everybody hates grinding
33:56 bye bye beedrill. In reference to "bye bye butterfree" the episode where ash gives away his butterfree? And you use it for beedrill because of the alteration and the fact the fact that beeddrill os like the opposite if butterfree in the sense that they have a similar evolution line and process thst starts with weedle and caterpie. So clever and just thrown out there so casually most probably didn't pick up on it
@Jrose11, you should definitely try a only steel pokemon run. I already did it with a bit of creativity but I'll love to see how you address it, specially at the beginning. Great video as always!
literally go to my homepage sarcastically thinking "let's get the run he just uploaded on" and boom, first vid on my shit is our boy! he's a beacon of excellence, i'd say
Jrose “nuzlockes are too hard” Also jrose “im gonna beat this game using unpopped popcorn and i will spend 4,000 hours doing this if thats what it takes”
This video played out like a sports movie. The vaunted starters get put on the bench and the backups almost blow the run in an easy game, but then Red is a 2v6 victory after all the starters died to Blue.
I actually like that you aren’t doing nuzlocke challenges all the time cause it gives me a better variety of Pokémon content to watch. I’ll watch every one of your videos this month regardless but I don’t mind your typical content.
I LOVE YOU JROSE! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND I HOPE SO MANY AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN TO YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!! Thanks for helping me go to sleep at night, your voice just does it for me 🫡
I love the struggle strats in the first gym. I don't see then much in these runs usually. I do like your commentary/ play style for nuzlockes.. but it dosent matter to me when it comes to content lol
Geez, stop uploading so fast and so frequently. You’re making it super hard for me to get caught up with your uploads! I haven’t even finished the Sandshrew video yet! All jokes aside, if you see this, we do appreciate all of your hard work. This should be a good watch as both a Johto fan and a Poison-Type fan.
JRose, I LOVE the creativity my man with every video (I’ve watched for about six months now), but even the nuzzlockers you mentioned allow levels ups once the gym battle starts
yeah I think he has some fundamental... misunderstandings? about nuzlocke rules? Some of the restrictions he places on himself, particularly in these Crystal runs, are not something that I see most nuzlockers do.
Doing a mono-type challenge in Crystal with Water-types should be relatively easy since you'll have a lot of them to work with. Your encounter routing shouldn't be too bad, either, should you choose to play it as a Nuzlocke. As for a Bug-type run with only Johto Bug-types, doing it as a Nuzlocke would be a _terrible_ idea, but I know it should be possible. Ledian and Yanma probably wouldn't be of much help, but Forretress, Shuckle, Heracross, and Ariados should be able to defeat Lance and Red together.
Tbh, Ledian can learn Thunderpunch and Ice Punch (and due to its high SDef, it can go well against Lance), and Rollout works surprizingly well with Shuckle. I did a mono-bug run in Crystal some time ago, and they were better than I expected.
This is true, it's meant to make the losses worse as you irrationally care more when you put the effort in to name them. It's odd, but it works. Named my summons in a game called geneforge, regretted it as I couldn't just let them go after lol
The argument for hacking in rare candies is that you could in theory just grind against wild Pokemon that are so far below you that they pose no risk. Hence the rare candies are just a time saver
That makes sense, I always agreed with JRose that it felt cheap to use rare candies, but it's true that the ideal strat is just to go route 1 (or equivalent) and kill low-levels for hours
@Ghi102 which is not fun. That's why we do the old "let's not and say we did" and use rare candy instead. That way you also get the added challenge of not having as many IVs for the Boss fights.
I'm also terrible at nuzlockes, but still plan on doing nuzlockes of each generation using only pokemon introduced in each successive game. I've gotta say that among poison types, Crobat is definitely a highlight in GSC, and one of my favorite Pokemon from my crystal nuzlocke
Tentacruel is a beast in the early games. It's easy to dismiss it because everyone, myself included, gets sick of tentacool encounters and never wants to see another one, but the jellyfish boi will absolutely let God sort out your enemies.
Hisuian Qwilfish, and it's hardly the first example of this. We already have mons like clobbopus/grapploct, inkay/malamar, dragalge, the gen 3 fossils, stunfisk, etc. that are not water type.
Jrose: "I don't have the patience for a Nuzlocke"
Also Jrose: "I'm going to beat every Pokemon game with only a physical Abra and no items in battle".
To be fair, there's a difference in patience in grinding and a patience in trying to do every calculation you can beforehand on what you're going to do and plan to make sure crucial members don't faint on you that you can't use later down the road to potentially completely kill a run.

With abra, you know what you’re going tk have to do from the start. With a nuzlocke, 1 mistake can add dozens of hours in a game like hgss 😂
Also Jrose: Imma beat Pokemon Red with perfect 1/65k Weedle!
Ramming your face against a wall until the wall breaks is a different skillset.
I love how Vileplume went from being expendable to taking care of half of Red's team and allowing Tentacruel to come in free to sweep the rest. Amazing run
this is the spirit of a Nuzlocke. you win with what you have.
Spoilers lol dm were all gonna watch anyway knowing that he's won every video he uploads lol
Poison is kind of the best for a type themed nuzlocke run, with the sheer variety of dual types. I’ve always enjoyed my poison team runs had a good one in fire red.
Very much enjoyed this upload!
It’s comforting to watch creativity in these old games continue from our childhood. In a few months I’ll be 32 and life has so many unexpected twists and turns. This kind of thing is a comforting antidote.
The repeat rule was invented so you can't have a team full of Crobat.
And Vileplume is obviously a legend.
A comforting antidote you wouldn't technically need with a full poison team!
I'm turning 32 in April
Your words ring very true. Life is hard. Distractions like this do really help to relax and escape all the pressure.

I mean, he mentioned in the beginning of the video that he beat Red.. sooooo.. lol

Now that you mention it, it really is.
Makes me wonder if/how many times he accidentally canceled an evolution
@@kruger1932same
"I haven't done a nuzlocke in two years, because I'm bad at Nuzlockes" well dang you're honest I'll give you that
Honestly tentacruel is one of those pokemon you think is weak until you use it in a nuzlocke where it turns out to be one of the stronger picks no matter the game. I learned to appreciate a lot of monsters such as zubat, geodude, clefairy and dustox.
uubl in gen 2 🙌
Used tentacruel in my mono water run in bdsp, mvp!
Used Dustox in my Emerald Nuzlocke, it definitely fell off by comparison once I hit the elite 4 but the fact it was a useful critter throughout up to that point is awesome.
pokemon crystal sprites are so underrated.still play my original to this day.
It blows my mind every time I boot up crystal. The sprites are so much better. More dynamic. Crisp
Pretty much everything towards the end of the gbc's liftime has this level of quality. Peak handheld consoles and games
Love gen 2...ill never forget waking up on Christmas to my very own gameboy color nd a copy of silver version..man i will never forget tht morning! Then crystal came out nd my mind was blown..moving sprites! Oh the nostalgia...gen 2 will ALWAYS be my favorite
@@joemclenigan6026 same exact experience for me hah. Still my favorite generation to do playthroughs on hands down.
The Crystal animations have so much more personality than the ones in Gen 3 and 4. Not being able to just rotate the sprites made them more creative.
I enjoyed this different challenge from Jrose. I struggle with Nuzlockes due to lack of patience too. I appreciate Jrose admitting that and still doing this run. Very entertaining!
this is such a cruel fate for Blue, wiping out 80% of JRose's team and not even being the one true champion. Red is such a sham...

Usually but he stated his rules don't allow this as an extra challenge

Poison-types, baby! My favorite type! And damn, those two coming in clutch at the end. Tentacruel in particular was amazing. Very AWW-inspiring.
hope u do continue with the solo runs, but every now and then, these different kind of runs are certainly fun and enjoyable; keep up the good work
Sometimes all you need is a flower, a squidy boy, and a dream.
I have to commit to using a Tentacruel in a run one day. It seems to have great potential
I've been waiting all day for this!!!
Tentacruel was always my ace in Gen1/2. Crazy bulk and no slouch with surf either

Also jrose “im gonna beat this game using unpopped popcorn and i will spend 4,000 hours doing this if thats what it takes”

Poison and bug are actually two of my favorite types. I just like how the Pokemon look aor of the time, and making them work is a fun challenge.

"I've been doing a bunch of cool things and look at that we have a Victorybell now, pretty cool stuff!"
The explosion on the weezing in a Nuzlocke is funny to me
5:30-ish just about every Nuzlocker allows overleveling DURING the gym battle.

Consider doing nuzlockes with rare candies the way king pChal does them
Wow this was awesome, not a regular viewer but enjoyed this a lot!
Doing a mono-type challenge in Crystal with Water-types should be relatively easy since you'll have a lot of them to work with. Your encounter routing shouldn't be too bad, either, should you choose to play it as a Nuzlocke.

The training in this run demonstrates why I'm adamantly against hacking in Rare Candies since anything can happen.
Awesome video man, loved it. 😇😇😇

The only pokemon UA-camr worth watching
The argument for hacking in rare candies is that you could in theory just grind against wild Pokemon that are so far below you that they pose no risk. Hence the rare candies are just a time saver
You also gain EVs from wild encounters so it's still more optimal to just battle weak wild pokemon than use rare candies in the long run
That makes sense, I always agreed with JRose that it felt cheap to use rare candies, but it's true that the ideal strat is just to go route 1 (or equivalent) and kill low-levels for hours

Is this the month of Jrose, i just keep watching this vids daily it seems.
It is indeed.
Love Gen 2, but the level cap for Kanto really takes the fun out of it with needless grinding. You have my respect.
That run was so GOD DAMN wild that Jrose forgot to include the Blaine battle LOL. But seriously that run was so awesome.
