Rules and Explanations
Rules: (1) Only use the one Pokémon in Battle, others for HMs are fine. (2) No Items in battle (3) No Glitches* (4) Set Mode (5) No saving in the Elite Four (6) No evasion moves
Badge Boost "Glitch" Explanation: When you collect odd numbered badges the game boosts a stat by 12.5%. Brock gives ATK, Surge DEF, Koga SPE, and Blaine SPC (in game text is wrong). When any of your stats are modified (even by you using a move like Withdraw, or your opponent using Leer) the badge boosts are re-applied. So If you use Swords Dance, you also gain *an additional 12.5% in Speed/Defence/Special (on top of the 12.5% you were supposed to be getting). When you level up, the game corrects this error, and only the non-glitch 12.5% remains. Because of how difficult it is to avoid, I've allowed for it to be exploited, since opponents will spam Leer/Growl anyways, and this way battles are less random. Red/Blue are extremely buggy, so there's always going to be some glitches present, and because of how unavoidable this one is, it is allowed in runs, and considered more like a special Generation 1 mechanic as opposed to a glitch.

I love how every now and then, Jrose will throw in a "I would have lost, but instead, I lost" just to keep us all on our toes
-
I like R K 9
-
"Ar-ca-nee-nay" activated every bone in my body and they are all in attack mode. This run's gonna be legendary.
-
It might get dark at 5pm, but at least there is the light of a Jrose video every day.
-
"The month of JRose is going to go longer than expected" OH DAMN HOW UNLUCKY FOR US
-
The month of JRose is too good. Can’t wait for the depression to hit when it’s done
-
This Pokemon will always have a special place in my heart. I always named mine after my dog who recently passed and he would always watch these videos with me (he was one of those dogs who watches tv) . Thank you Jrose for posting the video and unlocking some happy memories
-
It's crazy how much of a difference it makes when a Pokemon can learn Thunderbolt. It turns Lance's Gyrados from a tough fight into super easy.
-
I love how these videos are uploaded so late at night, perfect to watch on my breaks during the graveyard shift
-
Can we just appreciate that this is the 69th solo run of Gen 1 thar Jrose has done? That’s really nice.
-
The month of jrose has spoiled me... It's going to be hard not having daily uploads, but I do understand how difficult it is doing one a day. Don't want to sound ungrateful or anything, but this month has been so nice! We appreciate it immensely!
-
I just wanna say thanks to both you and SimplyAJ for extending the Month of Jrose by a lil bit! I'm enjoying it so much, but I know it's a lot of work and you two have been killing it!!! Also, great color palette!
-
My son literally jumped in the air with excitement when I told him you finally did an Arcanine run. Thanks, Jrose!
-
Very excited to see Magmar and Electabuzz whenever they come out
-
That colour palette makes the back sprite look amazing. Love it!
-
I like how the colour palette makes the pools in Misty's gym look like they're filled with lava. These are getting better each day.
-
Dux has done so much work carrying you around Jrose, it deserves a run of it's own let's be honest.
-
The month of Jrose is almost over and I'm actually gonna miss watching these as I fall asleep. I already went through almost all the other videos from before too
-
Take a shot for every mispronunciation of Arcanine in this video
-
Haven't watched the video yet, but I wonder if Jrose knows that he was featured positively in Chuggaaconroy's Sticker Star review as a channel that does challenge runs for Pokemon
