1:50 “but do you want to hear something terrible” *ad break* …Perfect placement

Had a feeling Pichu would be a struggle, but if Togepi and Shuckle have taught me anything, it's that when there's a Rollout, there's a way.

A funny anecdote on the “Gen 2 miss”: it actually *is* a thing, but it’s almost invisible. There’s still a 1/256 chance to miss every secondary status condition, including supposedly guaranteed ones like Zap Cannon. Since those kinds of moves tend to be awful, this glitch may as well not exist in practice, but it’s amusing nonetheless

Hey Jrose, your videos are not only interesting but also very comforting. Thank you for the effort you put into every video, especially during the month of Jrose! :)

I love Pichu's back sprite! I wish they did more full-body backs before Gen 5, since Gen 2 had my favorite art style and color scheme.

I love the idea of this tiny little Pichu just furiously rolling into everything and knocking out pokemon left and right.

Jrose: *uses a Pichu*
Silver: "You only won because my pokémon are weak"

Wow HP Ice was so insanely lucky. That was like the best possible hidden power type available, and it also had a high power. Absolutely insane

I love how Gyarados felt bad for your Pichu and set up the Rain so it could land Thunder. So nice of them.

Man I love gold/silver. Truly one of the most exciting video game releases of my life. And the discovery that we could revisit kanto after the elite 4 was absolutely mind blowing!

This Pichu run gets the OG Bug Catcher official stamp of approval! 👍

22:35 Losing to Pichu? That's gotta be embarrassing. I don't blame her for being mad.

10:33 - This scene right here seems like this run in a nutshell. Pichu can get all the luck in the world (70% thunder hit, 30% paralyze), but with such bad stats, it can’t even hit hard enough to guarantee a win, and all it takes is a little bad luck (37.5% chance of paralyzed DynamicPunch) to lose it all.

I get so nostalgic for this generation. Pokemon Gold was my first ever video game. Not only was it my intro to the franchise, it defined what a video game could be for me. Everything about it just makes me feel so happy and carefree.

Even with Whitney. Pure evil, that one.

Depending on your Stat EXP after Falkner, you likely couldn't have asked for a much better Pichu
Having Hidden Power Ice means you had 14 or 15 HP, 15 Attack, 13 Defense, 15 Speed, and any possible Special for DVs, with Hidden Power being 66, 67, 68, 69, or 70 base power, based on the Special DV

I’m loving the personality of your editor showing up in the recent vids seems like great person

[napoleoncomplex]

Red wasn't being mysterious this time. He was just speechless at being beaten by a kid wielding a Pichu.

Great timing from Youtube: "You want to hear something terrible?" And the video immediately cut to an ad. Not a glowing endorsement!
