Can you beat Pokemon Gold/Silver Without Taking Damage?

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.

I feel like Jrose has already done all of these challenges many times on his own, and is now just realizing he should make videos of them

When you said Bruno was a run-ender, at first I thought you were joking

JRose: *stretching extremely far to get in a Rival Fival mention*
Me: *Clapping and cheering loudly*

The new Bruno, Koga.

Incoming Video: "Can you beat Pokemon Gold/Silver as Koga?"

Watching this run after seeing so many runs of Red/Blue, it's almost weird seeing things like critical hits actually working as intended.

The madman has gone from removing the mechanic of catching other pokémon and diversifying his team to removing the game mechanic of taking damage whatsoever

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.

JRose "No, I will never do a no damage run, that's just not my thing" 11

[cereal]

Can we all take a minute to appreciate he did this Damageless Run ON SET MODE rather than the default Shift one? No free switches make a huge impact on these. Genius madman, yet again, hat's off to you!

To be honest, I’m having a really rough night with restless thoughts and regretting past choices. This upload brought a smile to my face, and it’s gonna make a bad night a little bit more bearable. Thank you :)

“It’s just empty and feels like a waste of space.” Me too victory road, me too.

I like how by doing so many Gen 1 runs this legend refers to Special attack and Special defense as "Special" :)

[carlnesbit]

Jrose a few weeks ago: "I don't plan on ever doing a no damage run, that's just not for me."

Today: This video.

The one thing i always thought was odd about the second gen was giving the zubat line a freindship evolution. Given how its one of a few pokemon that can have supersonic, confuse ray, and bite at the same time its a fairly bold idea to think it would ever be loved by anyone.

Hey man just wanted to say I’ve been loving the upload consistency, I look forward to your videos every week, it’s the best Pokémon content I’ve seen on YouTube in please please keep it up!

29:10 - I also noticed that the difficulty dramatically decreased as well.
This is one reason why I liked a few romhacks that fixed this.
In one, a Fire Red ROM Hack (titled Ultra Violet), you could catch all the pokemon in the game, in a single playthrough.
In addition, the Kanto gym levels ALSO had a noticeable increase in not only their levels but pokemon as well.

Finally, we see the mascot make its grand debut

You've became one of my favorite YouTubers easily and I'm glad you've been so frequent in uploads. Stay safe frens

Jrose: "Koga, the worst gym leader in Red/Blue-"
Blaine: "Am I not enough of a joke to you?"

[tibeerius]

I saw smallant’s zero damage run of platinum. You probably did also. Yet you’re still enough of a madman to go for it.
