  • It's been done in Red/Blue, and Platinum, but how about the game with 16 Gyms, and one of the most difficult battles on Pokemon history? Is it even going to be possible?

    The Bruno's story arc on this channel is legit stuff! After a difficult journey to become a member of Elite 4 he is humiliated time and time again, defeated by the same trainer who keeps bringing teams of a single unevolved pokemon and just pressing 'A' button to win. Having experienced a mental breakdown, he swears revenge.
    Jrose wants to defeat Elite 4 without taking any damage? Bruno looks at his Hitmonchan... and teaches him Mach Punch.
    "Under no circumstances are you allowed to use other moves, understand?"
    Hitmonchan nods as if he understood the words of his master completely.

    13:33 "Unable to check base power until generation 3" is such a common mistake people make. Not many seem to realise that you can check your move sets on Gen 2. Menu > Pokemon > select pokemon > Move. It doesn't move the pokemon, it gives you information on your pokemon's moves. I made this mistake for years!

    From a thematic standpoint, I actually kinda love that Clair doesn't have fully-evolved dragons yet. She fancies herself a dragon master, but the fact that her Dragonair hasn't evolved yet reveals her arrogance, and that she has much to learn before she's able to get on the level of her rival/idol Lance, the TRUE Dragon-type master. You're meant to contrast the two.

      Supersonic is hot garbage. 55% hit rate to give a 50-33% confusion proc.
      Confusion proc is equivalent to afflicted pokemon doing a 40 base attack move that ignores type on themselves. It lasts 1-4 turns.
      Bite (aside from gen 1) is a 100% hit rate 60 power move that has a 30% flinch chance.
      Zubat and golbat have garbage attack stats, so even at best with bite and confusion status afflicted, the enemy pokemon still has anywhere from a 35-47% chance of attacking anyways and that pokemon more than likely will have a good chance of ko'ing zubat/golbat in those 2-3 turns because of how low their base hp and defenses are.
      In other words, you kinda have to get lucky to make the zubat line work with those moves.

      I found it a little odd that he was so adamant that Hitmonlee had to come last in the Bruno fight. It's a good deal more impressive to run in set mode rather than shift, but I spent that whole Bruno part wondering why he didn't just change the setting, or if I had missed him mentioning that mode as a rule for himself. Quite awesome that he managed to run that way though.

    • @cereal7591
      @cereal7591 4 роки тому +6

      Yup. It can go unnoticed because he never mentions it, even though he always does it, like in his recent Bruno run. That added difficulty can really make a difference, especially for these type of runs. It was another key aspect to consider for choosing Haunter.
      And tbh, I get his logic. It's so nonsensically funny to imagine a Shift scenario: "Oh, my Rhyhorn's down. Hey, kid! I know I'm the Mafia's Boss and we're Battling for the takeover of this big Corporation with hostages and everything, but I just wanted you to know: I'm gonna send my other Rhyhorn now. You OK with that? Wanna switch? No? Your Blastoise is good on it's Surf PP? Ok then! Go rekt him, Rhyhorn, you've got this!". Then he's shocked and wonders how he lost again.

    Fun fact, my favourite Pokemon is Alakazam, and there is a cute origin story. As a young child, I had a lot of social issues, as in, I sucked at talking to people. When I did, all I could really talk about was the video games I played, like Pokemon. As a child, I always saw Alakazam as that one super powerful psychic Pokemon. As a kid growing up with FRLG and the anime, I saw Alakazam as this powerful pseudo Mewtwo. I never got one, though, as I never had friends to trade with, or two systems and two games. Though, Freshman year rolled around, and I finally got Diamond and Pearl with a friend, and I raised up an Abra into Alakazam. It happened to be a modest Alakazam, and it carried my whole team. To this day, Alakazam represents the power of friendship to me. I always found it neat that you liked Kadabra, which is, of course, a very respectable Pokemon in its own right.

    Ok, about the order the e4 sends out pokemon. From what i know they pick pokemon that have super effective moves against your current pokemon. The most extreme example of this is koga. If you kill ariados with typhlosion (or any other fire type) he will always send in forretress cuz it knows spikes, which is a ground type move. (This is just observation and guesswork, so take it with a grain of salt but i more or less confirmed it against other trainers like the kanto gym leaders and red). In fact, whenever i go through e4 multiple times using the same pokemon for the same opposing pokemon, the order is actually really consistent. I think it happens that the order gets shuffeld around a bit if the remaining pokemon are all equally effective against your current pokemon, but that rarely happend to me. Maybe you just got unlucky?

As a kid I often did solo Typhlosion run of the game and the elite four always had the same set of Pokemon order because they saved their grass/weak to fire pokemon to last, starts with best matchup. I did notice a change when a did not use a pokemon following that pattern it changed a little, but I always took that to the ai trying to find same pattern as before, but couldn't so it tries one that might work. I might be wrong, but that has always been what I thought from how I experienced it.

    Cool video. Definitely enjoyed watching the challenge run, separate from your other challenge runs and ongoing series. As someone that likes watching these sort of pokemon challenge runs from various poketubers, I think something you could do to improve upon future runs is make it very clear up front what all the rules are. For example, a quick slide at the start saying "If any of my pokemon ever takes damage, I restart from my previous save. I am allowed to save as many times and as often as I like, with the exception being no saving between Elite 4 members. All use of pokemon centers, items in battle, etc are allowed." I think if you added something like that, it would give all the viewers the expectations of the run up front and make it more interesting. Cheers!

    Just want to say thanks for sharing this. Sure, there's a little more leniency than in gen 1 for early game, but this kind of run is extremely impressive to me. It's not just the video and details, though. You've got a great personality and I don't think I'll ever tire of your content. As long as it's fun for you, keep it up!

    While the Physical/Special split was ultimately a good thing, I sure do miss elemental punching Kadabra/Alakazam.

    I would think, in the three years since, JRose has probably switched this choice to Gift Shop Cashier Surge... or Unpaid Intern Surge... or Volunteer Two Weekends per Month Surge, or whatever he is now.

      Get the number of picknicker gina south of goldenrod. She may call and say she found something for you. It's always leaf stone. The school kid with the tangela east of the national park gives fire stones. The fisher with qwilfish in front of mt mortar (mahogany side) gives water stones. The lass with psyduck and flaaffy (i think her name was dana) west of the miltank farm gives thunder stones. Potential evo stones before kanto.

    I mean, not saving between elite 4 members in a No Damage run is actually a good idea. Why? Because if you are just fully stuck and you can't keep going.... well you lose and have to start over cuz you'd be trapped and the only way to leave is to take damage and get KO'd.
