YMMV / Jrose 11

• Fan Nickname:
  • The encounter with the rival in Silph Co. in Generation I and III games earned the fan nickname "Rival Fival" after the character from An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.
• Good Bad Bugs: While Jrose doesn't exploit glitches in his challenge runs (notably, he does not use the Poke Doll to skip battling the Marowak in Pokemon Tower), the Generation I games have a unique bug where the Gym badge bonuses (12.5% to certain stats depending on which Gyms have been cleared) are re-applied multiplicatively when a stat is raised or lowered. Since there's no way to avoid this bug cropping up in the course of normal gameplay, it's used to great effect whenever possible.
  • During the Ditto run of Emerald, he accidentally discovered a previously-unknown glitch where leveling up with a Ditto while it's transformed would allow it to keep its own stats (normally it copies every stat from whatever it's transformed into, except for HP). This proved crucial in a few points in the run.
  • Repeated in the Ditto run of Red/Blue, where Jrose exploited another little-known glitch to great effect where if Ditto gets a critical hit while transformed, the damage the move does is based off Ditto's own stats.
• Self-Imposed Challenge: By design, given that nobody would intentionally play the games this way unless they were trying to challenge themselves.
