FAQ time:
1) Why did you go the long way around in Cerulean Gym?
A: Movement error, cost maybe 2-3 seconds
2) Why are animations on?
A: They aren't except for the last battle, which turns them on? automatically
3) Why don't you look how I pictured?
A: Because I look how I look?
Why did you replace Charmander instead of Squirtle? That would have give you easier OHKOs against the Gyarados and the Venusaur.
Why were you pressing down on cycling road? It moves you to nearly bottom with out button input. Would remove the old controller issue you had.
Holding down on cycling road?
What is the song at 38:08 ? I've heard it used in several of your videos.
@@12345apes He also forgot the rare candy on the cycle road which would barely take time.
“Virdian forest is actually really buggy” you had the perfect jokes
I get it... Cell the bug, buggy, perfect, perfect cell.

That's why the programmers placed Bug Catchers in there, so that they could catch the bugs they failed to fix.
“No, Bruno is not worth having a split”
LMAO
I sometimes feel bad for Bruno
Even two losses against Bruno wasn't worth a spilt, damn! 😂
The disrespect is real
I was expecting that hahaha!
@@Until_It_Is_Done Considering he lost way more for every other gym besides blaine and maybe giovanni...
"You still have a lot to do. Search for pokémon in grassy areas", they said to the pokémon league champion.
they talk a lot of shit for people in psychic range
"Oh really Red/Blue, I had no idea Pokémon could be found in grassy areas I just thought I'd FLY TO THE ELITE FOUR WITH MY FUCKING CHARIZARD. Where did I get the rest of my Pokémon? Yeah they just RANDOMLY APPEARED YOU BONEHEADED BASTARD!!! Now excuse me while I go and 'look in the grass'"

I mean...to be fair he was basically carried by a mutant freak that Professor Oak gave to him that fell off a truck while Team Rocket was moving somewhere.
@@huwfollantyearl6726 You know, it's kind of weird that Mewtwo doesn't learn Fly when whenever it appears in the anime it always ends up flying.

BLUH!
I love seeing The Bald Guy hype up great channels like this

@@dajjukunrama5695 I mean, the quote in the movie is "the world's strongest pokemon", and even in the context of gen 1 only, the real answer is Dragonite with a Base ATK of 134.
But i was nowhere near as pedantic as a kid so 🙅♀️
I like how his split for Agatha is just named “Lottery”
Notice bruno isnt a thing as well , and jrose doesn't even mention the dude
@@TheSuperGiantSquid "Bruno's not worth a split"
What I noticed was they all started with L. Lorelie, Lottery, Lance. SO if Bruno was in there he would have to be Loser.

*OG Snes Controller:* I got you bro, let me go to the right real quick for that biker strat.
Divine intervention
@@dontaebuckenberger3097 Could it have been the work of Lord Helix?
This sounds like Jrose needing to do a... Erm... FULL RESTORE on that SNES pad in honour of its efforts ;)
I was confused because you can actually let go of the dpad for 80% of biker road. It automatically goes down at max speed.
@@adventureoflinkmk2 if it's the button pads, the good news is he can get replacements. If its just dust, then some isopropyl and a soft bristled toothbrush also got him covered.
I have no other ideas though lol
I listen to Jrose at night to fall asleep, his soothing, annoyed voice when things goes wrong eases my troubles and sends me to sleep heaven

Always a good day when JRose uploads!
Yep say him live stream this on twitch
Hell ya
Yes
My dog died today..
Honestly one of the highlights of my week!
About to go to bed.
Sees new JRose video.
Sleep is for the weak.
Sleep is for the dead
Same
I got coffe would anyone like some ?
After the vid: Sleep for a week
Same here
Literally same
Just came here to say “I” renders faster than “A” because it is 16 pixels rather the 33 pixels that need to be drawn using “A” so the extra 1.6 seconds necessary to reach “I” is okay because it saves you 9 seconds overall. *
*not scientifically backed up but you can hear Werster rant about it if you are so inclined.
Then again, you can button mash for A, takes *some* time to find the I and then button mash
@@xPanda25 what
@@xPanda25 sounds like something werster would say
You can hold a direction going into a select to buffer an input and I is just one space left of A where the cursor starts. Would it not be equally as fast to select I rather than A?
I am 95% sure that this is just not true lmao
The gameboy uses a tile system where each 8x8 block of pixels is a single tile. As far as I’m aware, gen 1 games don’t include kerning in the font, so every tile (or letter) would take the same amount of time to draw or update
I’ve watched countless speed runs, but not ONCE has anyone explained how the splits work. You are the best dude. Also, I love how Bruno didn’t get a split XD
True to form, never change
Normally one just figures it out or asks in chat.
"Viridian Forest is pretty buggy."
I'm not sure if that pun was intended, but I am *dying*.
Thought the exact same thing.
I think it's pretty obvious
Shame on you
I’ve never seen his face before and for some reason he doesn’t look like how I pictured but also I couldn’t tell you what I pictured him to look like lol
bruh same
duuude same he does not look anything like i thought he would
He did his face reveal in his ditto run I believe you should definitely go watch it after this one if you haven’t seen it.
He has another video where he shows his face but it was a long time ago.
@@Hangnailer47 oh man you're right, i had seen that video (i watch all of his runs) but i guess i never got to the very end on that one. he sounds so much different than he looks, like younger or something. anyway its no hate, actually is super interesting. but yeah his videos are dope af
This has such wholesome energy - guy succeeds in cool achievement in game he loves, shows genuine excitement and humility throughout. I think this is my favourite of all your videos Jrose!
It was so intense to watch! Going through so many emotions.
8 hours is par for the course, my man, 2 is insane.

Hey Proto
Sup Proto!
I don't know my golf terms, but that's a double Birdey right?
And thats why over 200 people have sub2 times without using glitches?
Ah yes just in time for dinner. I can’t eat without quality entertainment
Meanwhile it's the middle of the night where i am lol
And Jrose made it DONE LIKE DINNER :)
Right? Who just sits at the table and eats in silence with no audio-visual sensory input?
Hey, hope you see this: if you’re wondering why sometimes and item is used before you attack when you’re faster (ie against lt. Surge’s Pikachu) is because the ai picked quick attack and it uses the priority of the move instead of the item. Just letting you know since you questioned it in an older video
Huh, that is really interesting
Gen 1 games are hold by clips, tape and hopes.
What? Items are always used first anyway
@@machina5 In gen 1 for AI, the item is used when the mon is supposed to take their turn, unlike in other gens
@@DimkaSulegnaa Ok thanks
8:57 I think it's the first time in so many speedrun videos that I finally hear an explanation of the timers. Helps for newcomers to follow.
What else could the timer possibly be used for Lmao
@@suckonthis4253 I said timers, by that I mean the "splits".
It is not obvious to everyone.
@@CaptainFalcon333 apparently not lmao. I wonder what the giant timer on the screen could possibly be doing 😂 you gen z kids are too much

11:18
"two minutes and ten seconds run"
Distracted JRose turns out to achieve feats JRose11 couldn't dream of. :V
I really liked the crossover between the narration and the live stream, great run
Man this was the most overwhelming video that Jrose has EVER DONE. Kudos... never do it again, my heart almost stopped.
Nice to see Jrose the Speedrunner officially make his debut!
Except he didn’t even do a categorical run...
@@AlanWatts33 as mentioned in the video, there are solo run speedruns. there's even a category for mewtwo, and he can submit it as such.
It's just that jrose opted to do no in-battle items, despite solo rules allowing for then. so no way he's getting WR.
@@raze2012_ he said it had completely different rules. Do you guys even listen
@@raze2012_ when you edit, preface the edited section with edit:
It’s normal UA-cam comment integrity in case you’ve been under a rock for decades
"Holy poop on a stick"
My god that barrage at the end was aggravating. Congrats on the run, man! I know how it feels to finally get that one run you wanted
That reaction at the end shows how much this means to you, congratulations great content as always
Can't believe Jrose's gunning for Werster's Pokemon speedrun records
Cue “We’re Finally Landing” from SummoningSalt
Not exactly lol Werster is crazy optimized
@@galararticuno9419 werster does not even run anything besides gen4 anymore, and there have been many route changes since he stopped
@@linewashere I know I'm just saying Werster has always routed very meticulously and has his routes optimized down to small details
Not only his runs are insanely optimized, but also Wes went fucking insane himself. He is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
You had me at the classic Ken Sugimori art on the thumbnail!
I hate the new artstyle since 5th gen introduced it
Also the pure joy on your face at the end there when you were able to switch over the last split to finish. Man, this is why I watch these things. That was the most intense thing I’ve ever seen in Pokémon red and blue
I love how Bruno is such a joke, that JRose doesn't even have a split for him, it just goes Lorelei to Lottery (Agatha). Which makes sense, cause if you were to put this in platformer terms, Bruno is basically an autoscroller.
"Bruno isn´t worth splitting"
OOF...!
Ope
With those muscles Bruno probably can't even do splits.
I can't wait until Summoning Salt makes a video on Jrose11!
(Summoning salt commentating over the original mewtwo solo run) everyone agreed that this was the perfect run, and that no run from any other pokemon could ever have beaten it... but then, just 3 months later... THIS happened
@@woofpotato1234 *Shows the Muk strat*
“He even accidentally made his own new strategy when his controller messed up. He’s now calling it ‘the Muk strat’ “
@@JaCaBrA144 "the muk strat saved over 2 minutes over the old route, at the cost of an extra battle, as it made the next section of the run much more consistent by guaranteeing OHKO's on pokemon in Koga's gym due to the extra level up. It also allowed JRose to skip a rare candy, reducing the risk of getting extra encounters on the way to it."
Been watching your youtube channels for years. Love the kanto speed runs. But this is by FAR my favorite video. I love the classic JRose commentary incorporated with the live commentary. Keep doing you!!
Jrose, I’ve always enjoyed your videos, but this one was by far my favorite. My heart was racing as you worked through the E4, and I cheered with you when you beat the champ. I haven’t get that kind of tension as the champion music played since the first time I played the game ~20 years ago. Good job, great video, and thank you for another awesome video!
If true i would enjoy feeling like that once. Im basically Stan from south park once everything in the world looks, sounds, tastes etc. Like shit.
It sometimes takes me two hours to get out of bed.
To think that a 10 year old essentially took over the world in 2:10
I salute to you jrose, thanks for the content.
One time I slept in a king sized bed and it felt like it took me ages to reach the edge of the bed. Keep at it man, you'll get there.
@@sbsftw4232 a new challenger approaches
An Alaskan king bed
9 foot by 9 foot bed.. much more powerful than that pathetic king size bed (approx 7 by 7)
The world record is like 1:44
Yeah, any kid can do that when they're just handed the strongest Pokemon available by their next-door neighbor
@@Ultimaximus i wish my neighbor would give the the most powerful war machine and undeniably most unstoppable creature in the know world. :(
Man this is so entertaining. How many times can I watch you do the same game and still find it so unique every time. Great job Jrose!
"Bruno is not worth having a split"
Savage AF
This is so wholesome, seeing all the emotions throughout the run then the end! Congrats my dude!
"Have a shorter cry!" that would be an interesting speedrun strat. Find a legendary pokemon with the shortest cry.
maybe mew? does it have a shorter cry?
Don't speedrunners let the hp go down in the red to save time on cries?
That was funny stop talking have a shorter cry 😭 😂
Out of gen1 it sounds like either articuno or zapdos would have the shortest cry
Dunno if Zapdos would be a good fit. In his zapdos video, zapdos is already 10 minutes behind Mewtwo's previous record at Mt. Moon. It's hard to imagine a short cry making up for a poor move pool when you can simply let a pokemon's health enter the red zone and bypass the cry anyway.
I thought the title said, "Can I beat Pokémon red/blue in under 2 hours" and I was thinking "Yea that seems kinda difficult, but with good practice, its fine, kinda like a speedrun." But then I saw the solo run part, and I was like "Oooook..."
Wrs are solo runs
The two WR strategies are (or were when the 2-hour mark was first broken) Blastoise-only and Blastoise/Nidoking
But they use items and abuse OHKO moves
Also, instant text glitch / silph scope skip
@@williamturner3493 isn't instant text not allowed on the leaderboards? or did they change that?
@@igokoma we changed it
I'd love to see Nidoking on the solo run list. It's been one of my long-time favorites, and it's move pool is ridiculous, especially with TM/HM coverage.
Nidoking runs are just like a normal Speedrun lol
@@pango9519 nah, because he doesn’t use items in his solo runs, meaning horn drill is still 30% accuracy
Hello from the future, the Nidoking run has been done
Loved this! Defo massively enjoyed the merge of the live stream and the VO. Would love to see more true speed runs JRose!
Imagine only having 12 minutes left at the start of E4...
Its doable if you OHKO everything. Speedrunners set up speed, x acc and horn drill/fissure anything that isnt weak to ice
@@212mochaman he's talking about remaining video length
idk why, but i was kind of expecting jrose to look like youngster joey
I never expect youtubers to sport facial hair, but they nearly always do
this was amazing, genuinely happy to see you make it. This run was nerve wracking
Live Jrose is awesome. This style with the commentary over a live run was really fun to watch (I chew the inside of my mouth when I'm nervous too lol)!
I was like what’s the “uh uh uh” at 34:50 and then I realized what he was trying at real time speed
11:20 "2 minute and 10 second run"
Epic video, plan to watch your stream/vods now and then now!
This is the best Pokemon content Ive ever watched.
You managed to get so much suspense into this video - I was right on the edge of my seat towards the end there!
Could you please do more like this? You should go for the world record!
Way to go Jrose I’m very happy for you, I got a little worried at some points but I’m really glad that you made the run congratulations!!!
Damn, never seen Jrose's face before, but dang, he's a good lookin dude
...wanna touch him?
@@Laszlo5897 thats...why did you word it like that???
the last 5 minutes of this video were so intense lol, I got into the time thing as if I was playing haha. Nice job! Congrats!!
Great run man. And you look and sound everytime so happy in your videos. That's one thing that makes your videos so enjoyable to watch
Thanks for making a video of this! I'm not really into watching unedited streams, but this mix I'm perfectly fine with! Congrats on the sub 2 hours, looked tense but like a lot of fun too!
"Viridian forest is very buggy."
IDK if that pun was intended or not, but I laughed either way!
Congrats man! Was feeling tense just watching this, couldn't imagine actually playing this
Bro I revisit this video all the time. It’s been 2 years and this is still such a staple video to me. Way to go with this video bro, and the aeries as a whole.
Congratulations! You deserved this! You're such a positive minded person, and an incredible entertainer. You've improved so much, not just in the game of course, but to be engaging in your videos. Fantastic editing between voice over JRose and Live JRose! You kept his video going and seamlessly transitioned the audio.

Dude I'm literally addicted to your vids man. I just finished two others of yours. Now you HAD to upload again, HOW. FAST. ARE. YOU???
One year later and you'll literally know the code in and out dude! xD

Are you the real Jesus?
Dude the level of intensity i was staring at the screen with during the elite 4 lol excellent content man, i appreciate being able to watch these vids
Hey Jrose, just letting you know that I appreciate all of your videos, and you’ve quickly risen to become my favorite UA-camr. Keep it up. I’m looking forward to more of your uploads!
I love how he can´t stop grinning at the end of the run! Just perfect!
Was there for the entire stream. Can confirm our reactions were as epic as his.
Can I just say I love this style of video. Having the live video and reaction with the narration is really engaging to watch
the end was so pumping with excitement for you glad you got it CONGRATS! keep pushing for lower times see if you can beat even the item users!
why is his second channel being called jrose12 the funniest yet most sensical thing ever
14:01 you can go the straight path.....even if you didn’t fight the trainer
Muscle memory
Congratulations dude! Very happy for you! Was watching so intently at the end cause I was nervous too lol
This is the only video I've been genuinely stressed with Jrose, especially towards the end. Fantastic run!
J-Rose this was awesome. I was cheering at the end like I was watching a hockey game.
Out of curiosity, why did you teach Thunderbolt to Mewtwo right after Lt. Surge? If you had waited until after Rock Tunnel you could have taught it Bubble Beam to make the Hiker a lot easier
I assume to avoid the extra menuing
Menuing takes time
Actually I was thinking with all the talk of saving trips to the pokecenter if he used TM's, PP ups and such at the right time to restore/replace spent power points he could save some time that way. Pretty sure this generation gives you full PP when you learn a new move.
@@stickmanphil12345 Sure extra menuing takes time but you could combine it with one of the repel menus. It's still a few seconds time loss, but it would give a lot of safety.
I haven't been this involved in a challenge or a video in so much time. Make like pikachu and eevee and LET'S GO, man! Loved the video, well done!
Love the new video aesthetic! Awesome seeing your reactions and hearing your real-time narration.
The insane part is that this could prob go to sub 1:55
You're very close lol
This could go sub-1:45
@@far2ez539 No without items, due to how useful they are against blaine and most of the elite 4.

i really like how you edited this. i knew someday you would naturally progress to speed runs and I am excited to see you experiment more with the concept.
The fact you took the time to commentate over this just made my day. Thank you so much Jrose
Glad to see the run!
One way I broke my cheek chewing habit was copious amounts of chewing gum, if you're looking for something to help start that habit breaking.
Seeing you so excited at your sub two hour victory was very uplifting. Congrats you deserve it!
Love this guy's tenacity and persistence... To replay this game over and over and over again with different pokemon would seem insane.
So happy to see you succeed in this challenge JRose! You make great content :)
*Sees "Fival"*
Why is the Champion split not called Rival Final?
That would probably be because he doesn't count the champion himself as the split, he counts the end of the game as the split. The timer keeps going until the credits roll.
Because hes literally never said that even once
@@ssjbread2803 But after beating the champ, there's nothing left.
@@terminalcreature1560 Yeah...that's why the split is called "done".
