Soloing Red & Blue with EVERY Pokémon: Jrose11's Story • Chazingdra Chats: A Pokémon Podcast

Stumbling upon Jrose11's channel is what introduced me to Pokémon YouTube, and I like hundreds of thousands of others have been captivated by his content since the pandemic, beating the very first Pokémon games with every single one of the original 151 Pokémon and compiling a tier list. For the 6th anniversary of these runs, it's an honour and a full-circle moment to feature him on the show: discover his fascinating life story that brought him here and the 6 Pokémon he'd choose for his Dream Team. Come hang out with two of the merriest men around! 👉 Please do leave a RATING & REVIEW if you're enjoying our chat, it goes such a long way and would mean a huge amount.
