I'm going to miss the editing and production values of the old Nuzlockes. I understand why you won't do them that way anymore, so I'm just thankful we get anything. Your Nuzlockes were the whole reason I subscribed to this channel originally.
I'm sure he hasn't abandoned that format. The difference here is that he streamed it on twitch, whereas the other ones were episodical and edited before they were released. I do agree with you, those were great series!
metaltom2003 I recall he said at a Q&A that he wouldn't make another Nuzlocke in the old style because of the amount of effort that goes into editing each episode.
By far the hardest game to nuzlocke. WILD pokemon have advanced level moves. Level 11 Yungoos have Hyper Fang, and the wild pokemon eventually all start having the ability to call in reinforcements every turn. It's a brutal game, and even harder with nuzlocke rules.
@@littlekitsune1 He did also use items early on in his FireRed run, which was what got him through a lot of stuff until he chose not to use items in battle. That's what is screwing him over since he doesn't take the time to grind.
To be fair, some battles have been tougher than anticipated. I made the exact same mistake as everyone else did with regards to Ilima's Smeargle. Went to use Growl, anticipating Sketch, but then it used ember on my Rowlet. I had to sack my Alolan Meowth so that my Rowlet would live on. And while many Alolan Pokemon lack in the speed stat, they are bulky as fuck. I'm used to one-shotting things in nuzlockes, but so far in my Sun nuzlocke, it takes at least 2-3 attacks before a foe faints.
I'm doing a Nuzlocke as well. My god did Smeargle give me a wake up call. Luckily I was able to beat him and Keep my Popplio. Though I may want to redo the nuzlocke, I counted Rout 1 and route 1 outskirts as different areas since they get their own title cards, and I don't know if that was allowed or not.
JJcool2344 I believe Jared did as well. They have different sectors on the map. I also don't know what the rules on caves are, since the map doesn't have separate areas for caves, but I feel like it should be allowed.
JJcool2344 same thing happened to me but all I got left was a Mexican ratatta named El Coopio lv.8 where i managed to quick attack that smergle to death, wish me luck ;(
This game.... this game is hard! Actual tactics! Tough as hell Pokemon! You bastards wanted a tougher game... we got it... Edit: 57:15 Famous last words Jared. famous last words...
10 hours in, and I've been steamrolling everything. It is most definitely the hardest Pokemon game, but still is really easy when comparing it to the Shin Megami games.
"I don't want this game too be stupid easy" Gets wiped out by a Smeargle... Those Hints and notifications doesn't make the game easier, they just make human error such as forgetting type weakness etc not an excuse for a lost anymore.
Dude, Kukui's not just a professor, he's your hype man, WOO! Also..."this game looks like it's for babies" they said, "it's so casual" they said, "it won't even require any thought" they said. Oh you poor fools...
4:33 - Cousin is a Hawaiian term they use, not because were all related, (though that's technically true) but that were all one, big, happy family! (most of the time)
For anyone wondering why one Yungoos hit harder with tackle than the other it's because of the two different abilities it can get, strong jaw and adaptability. Strong jaw powers up biting moves while adaptability powers up STAB moves by 50%. So a STAB move would power up the attack by 50%, if a move got 100 base power and it's STAB then it becomes 150 base power, however with adaptability instead of then becoming 150 base power it becomes 200 base power. So that Yungoos with adaptability used Tackle which got 40 base power, for a normal Yungoos Tackle would become 60 base power because of STAB but for that adaptability Yungoos Tackle became 80 base power.
I love watching Jared's nuzlockes while I'm grinding on my Pokemon Gold (Gen II FTW). It's the perfect combination, and the longer the videos are, the better!
Watched this whole stream live.... well until the last hour or two when it was 2 AM and I had to go to sleep. Really enjoyable to watch while I play along.
Bit of a spoiler here so don't read it if you want but... He doesn't get that far in this video. A lot of time grinding and planning but he doesn't even get to the first trial.
For the love of all that is decent Jared... If you try this again... ALLOW YOURSELF TO USE ITEMS. I seriously...SERIOUSLY can't stress that enough. Only reason I say it is because I'm doing a blind Nuzlocke myself and I'll tell you I learned the hard way this game is nearly IMPOSSIBLE without them. I got really curious when about two hours in the game just started throwing Revives at me in abundance. Granted I just sell them for cash, but some of the later bosses in this game you can't beat without potions. Keeping it spoiler free as I can in phrasing it-- The first major boss battle of the game against the Kahuna was a clutch-play nightmare.
"The first major boss battle of the game against the Kahuna was a clutch-play nightmare." ...You're joking, right? The first kahuna is ridiculously easy. I beat him in 5 turns just by spamming flying moves.
The fact that he complains about legit challenge after the Pokemon School after A.) doing a Nuzlocke blind and B.) putting rather awful, unneeded restrictions on himself, kinda makes this a mixed feeling. There has to be a point after...5 failed Nuzlocke attempts that he has to agree his stubborn nature will just lead to insanity because, at this point, we know what'll happen. He starts, game gets hard, he refuses to not heal, he dies. Kind of a shame too. His Pokemon Fire Red Nuzlocke is, by far, his most popular Nuzlocke because he managed to win that.
Sorry to say it, but the amount of salt at the end kind of killed the fun. I understand the frustration with that Smeargle, and I can't honestly say that I'd have reacted differently, but freaking out and shouting at the game for being unfair and killing you was kind of upsetting. I know this isn't going to be a well-received analogy, but if for example it had been Jared's pokemon who had accuracy lowered twice and was hitting everything, would it have still been BS and the game cheating and screwing things up or would it have been awesome and super thrilling? If it has been Jared's pokemon with the lowered accuracy and half of his attacks were missing would it also have been shouted that the game was cheating and it was BS because so many attacks were failing to connect? Again, I can't claim I would have acted differently were I in that situation, but it still sucked a lot of the fun out of it because it's very easy to imagine that if the exact same situation happened with the shoe on the other foot he'd have been overjoyed, or the game acting "correctly" in the opposite direction would have been reacted to the same way as the end of this stream. I'm sorry if this seems hyper-critical or unfair, but these things happen, and at least keeping a brave face for the sake of the audience rather than giving the impression of being a sore loser would be appreciated. Apologies if I'm a dick.
I think you're fine. I kind of agree, I love watching Jared most of the time but the ending to this made me pretty unhappy. I mean, yeah it was a bad run but would've been nice to see something more than just pure being upset and salty over it. Not gonna analyze tactics or anything, but a loss is a loss, no matter how it happens, it's good to take it with the best mood you can muster and just try harder next time.
I just beat Pokémon Moon so I came to watch your Nuzlockes. I was afraid of spoilers so I didn't watch them as soon as they arrived. I can't believe I watched the whole 4 hours straight. I've never watched any video for 4 hours. I get tired of movies after an hour. I need breaks. And yet, this video was entertaining me whole time. Tells a lot about the game and the gamer. Thanks Jared. You gave good laughs especially the SoaD song while battling against a Slowpoke.
Jared it takes 4 stages of accuracy down to give 100 accuracy moves a 50% miss chance... So the smeargle not missing wasn't unlucky at all for you, thats what was supposed to happen.
I like the stream archive, it's longer and I get to see everything and that means he actually uploads them so my shit internet can actually see it. (I can't stream twitch very well unfortunately).
If he had just gone all out and attacked, instead of trying to play smart by lowering accuracy and attack, he probably would have won and only lost 1, maybe 2 pokemon max. I think he was relying too much on odds and luck, instead of actually doing the 1 thing he needed to do to win.
In terms of normal gameplay, or Nuzlocked? The game is pretty easy for me, although I just completed the first island. I have noticed that the AI is a bit smarter than previous generations, although sometimes they'd use the same move on my pokemon that was ineffective.
I'm only 57:00 into this, so it's probably addressed later, but the reason you see the effectiveness of moves after fighting a Pokemon once is because you get the type info for a Pokemon in your Pokedex once you've fought it. You don't need to discover individually every time a fire move is super effective against a grass Pokemon, you just need to find out that it's a grass type Pokemon.
I knew it was inevitable. He hasn't won a Nuzlocke since FireRed since he implemented his "NO ITEMZ DURINGZ BATTLE!!11!" rule. That's not logic I can get behind.
That rule is only reason I watch his, specific nuzlockes only. It actually gives challenge and doesn't make a pokemon battle just healing your pokemon every three seconds.
It's perfectly logical. The logic is to increase the challenge. I've pretty much never used healing items during battles in all my years of playing pokemon, feels cheap and also feels like the pokemon are not winning on their own merits.
Cody Hines sadly, its what keeps the flow of donations going. People are going to donate non-stop since they get called out by someone who is more famous than them, giving them some kind of validation for existing. At some points, the stream is just "Thank you X for subscribing, button up your blue shirt and enjoy the emotes. Thank you Y for donating. Thank you Z for subscribing, button up your blue shirt and enjoy the emotes" truly great commentary.
Jared needs a Nuzlocke modification rule that if he find a bug he can release whatever one Pokémon he found for the area in favor of the bug. I’d be fully in support of a modification that ended up with Jared getting mor bug Pokémon.
The game with landmine turtles, murderous sandcastles, eldritch dolls that want to be loved and giant angry dragon trees isn't bad enough? The only thing Poketrailia would add is every new pokemon is a poison type
...if you see a Pokemon, its type is automatically recorded in your Pokedex, even without capturing it. It's been this way since at least Gen III. You could check your pokemon's move types, and compare them to the wild pokemons type. This isn't anything new, it's just a streamlined version of what already existed.
When I saw I could remove my hat... I cried tears of joy. My niece thought I was crazy, but she wouldn't understand the struggle of having a hat glued to your head for... uh... when did R/B/Y come out? '96? We'll say '96.
After finally getting and finishing the game, I am here to enjoy this nuzlocke. Seeing as Jared skips dialogue every now and then, I hope he doesn't miss on any of the comedy.
This is what happens when you actively make the Nuzlocke harder on yourself than the default rules :) No Healing in Battles is your own rule, and has cost you *every* failed Nuzlocke. Not using the EXP Share, puts you in unnecessary danger when you don't need to and can give you an extra level or two for your high leveled mon when you level your low leveled ones. This spot is *asbolutely* a difficult one, but you *absolutely* made it harder on yourself than you needed to.
sabata2 Don't blame the rules, blame him for pushing his limits. There are plenty of nuzlockers that have absolutely insane rules that manage to win anyways.
I doubt you'll read this but the pokedex collects type data even if you don't catch the pokemon. So really the whole super effective thing does take the dex data to work.
My policy on shinies and nuzlocke challenges is if I see one, I can catch it, but not use it. They are so rare, that I am not passing on the opportunity.
Just an FYI, Jared: It takes 4 stages of an accuracy changer to result in a 50% hit rate on a move with 100 accuracy. That Smeargle only had two stages, so it wasn't "stupid" that it still hit. For future reference, since I know you didn't wipe in the Sun Nuzlocke last night (this morning?)
Most people don't consider them often anyways simply due to the negative stigma from people who refuse to carry a counter to them. I only vaguely remembered them since I actually do occasionally use evasion strategies on Pokemon they're okay on. (And even then, all it takes is one counter out of several dozen, and that pokemon is boned.) So no worries.
Your first mistake was picking Popplio. Goddamn does this game hate Popplio. A Pichu in the second battle, Magnemites so early, and Smeargle with Leafage. Nothing is sacred when it comes to Popplio users.
Actually, the Smeargle is 'fixed' so it will always have the superior elemental attack to your starter. For Rowlet, it will use Ember; for Popplio, it uses Leafage; Litten, probably Water Gun. Traditionally, there is always one starter that is tough to raise early on because of type advantages stacked against it by gym/trial battles. conversely, there's one starter that is typically the easiest one to use early on and throughout the entire game, while the third is somewhere in-between the two extremes.
I think it is neat we gotthe raw archive instead of a sum up or skip grinding. And I knew if someone was going to play a Nuzlock of a new pokemon game (like he did for X&Y) was ProJared.
I really want to see a GIF image of Jared's face when he's imitating the Water Gun sound effect lol that shit is hilarious to me I dunno why. I laugh every time I see him do it xD
It's so good to see you making more nuzlocke content Jared! I'm wanting to make another nuzlocke series of my own on my channel, but does anyone know what he uses to capture his gameplay? Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Glad top see you do another one of these dude. I'm going to play the game myself first but then come back to watch this. Btw, I hope @PanormousPanda comes in to narrate everything in the comments again!
I felt really bad for Jared at the end there ^^' That Smeargle was some real shit with the Accuracy and such. And he really didn't complain about it as much as many comments here make it out to be. Sure, he was pissed but who wouldn't be with a lost Nuzlocke on the first "Gym"? I hope Sun went better for him, gonna watch that one now.
Gotta be honest Nuzlockes aren't as fun to watch when the Nuzlockes goes all sore loser at the end and just spends 4-5 minutes moping and complaining about the difficulty. Weren't you complaining about it being too easy when it let you know type effectiveness? Weren't you saying you don't want baby-mode? Then don't complain when the game kicks your ass.
Yeah, to be honest I don't comprehend how displaying the effectiveness of moves makes the game "stupid easy". Like... it just means you don't have to look up type charts constantly when deciding what move to use? It's a much needed quality of life type of improvement and it's prety great!
because finding the type of a new pokemon is a challenge In and of itself, having the game tell you what a pokemon is weak to before you find out yourself takes away from that challenge which is the point of nuzlock runs to begin with, to add some much needed challenge to the games
Enjoyed watching this a lot! Sorry about how it ended. I don't blame you for feeling super annoyed. I would have been too. I'm glad you restarted with Pokemon Sun, gonna go watch that now. :)
Just thought I'd add in this fun bit of irony. The only wild shiny (non-story, like the red Gyrados in G/S/C) I've ever caught in a non ROM game was a shiny Smeargle. And I hate it. But I caught it anyways 'cause it's the only wild shiny I've ever come across. The only other shinies I've come across in ROM's were a shiny Caterpie, shiny Geodude, and shiny Arbok.
Brainhorn Yeah not like Street Fighter and Tekken and Halo and COD and Wow and the tons of other games that release sequels with a few changes. Pokemon is the only series that has ever continued with the same general concept EVER! Seriously do these people realize they just sound uninformed and ignorant to us Pokemon fans?
I'm trying a nuzlocke of this game on Sun version and so far I've had luck such as finding an Abra in the first city that teleported out and losing my Pikipek to a wild pokemon that used pursuit.

I'm going to miss the editing and production values of the old Nuzlockes. I understand why you won't do them that way anymore, so I'm just thankful we get anything. Your Nuzlockes were the whole reason I subscribed to this channel originally.
I'm sure he hasn't abandoned that format. The difference here is that he streamed it on twitch, whereas the other ones were episodical and edited before they were released. I do agree with you, those were great series!
metaltom2003 I recall he said at a Q&A that he wouldn't make another Nuzlocke in the old style because of the amount of effort that goes into editing each episode.
and the editing and multiple videos are especially not worth it when Nintendo will content ID the video anyways
The only thing I will have a problem is all the twitch stuff popping up.
Mihály Kobela they only do that when you don't have a contract with them. They have their own "makers program"
"Who are you? You look cute"
Mom:-
"DAMN IT!"
Cracked up from that 😂
Hey, no Pokemon Dad means more funtime with Pokemon Mom. *wink wink*
SonicChaocc What did I just read
SonicChaocc dafuq
Wincest is best incest.
Flyingboots1 No no no, it's incest is wincest
By far the hardest game to nuzlocke. WILD pokemon have advanced level moves. Level 11 Yungoos have Hyper Fang, and the wild pokemon eventually all start having the ability to call in reinforcements every turn. It's a brutal game, and even harder with nuzlocke rules.
So true. Do you think it is harder to do a randomized nuzlocke or plain nuzlocke?
Whenever Jared plays a newer Pokemon game all he does is complain about how easy everything is.
And then loses.
There's a difference between it being an easy Pokemon game and being a blind challenge.
@@littlekitsune1 He did also use items early on in his FireRed run, which was what got him through a lot of stuff until he chose not to use items in battle. That's what is screwing him over since he doesn't take the time to grind.
@@Sairiui True. It helps to at least know level limits and stuff.
Oh boy another nuzlocke run that will end prematurely in a fiery wreck. Neat.
Wait until he uploads Sun.....
oh i missed that stream
well that Smeargle is complete bull shit
Gamefreak answered our cries to make a harder Pokemon game, then we ignored it and did nuzlockes of it anyway.
The Shearsquid Aye
Yet people are complaining it's easier/too easy from the seeing if things are effective or not and the guide on where to go next. ._.
Alexa Jordan apparently people prefer flaws over difficulty.
To be fair, some battles have been tougher than anticipated. I made the exact same mistake as everyone else did with regards to Ilima's Smeargle. Went to use Growl, anticipating Sketch, but then it used ember on my Rowlet. I had to sack my Alolan Meowth so that my Rowlet would live on.
And while many Alolan Pokemon lack in the speed stat, they are bulky as fuck. I'm used to one-shotting things in nuzlockes, but so far in my Sun nuzlocke, it takes at least 2-3 attacks before a foe faints.
Metroid4ever SAME. This generation is super defensive for some reason.
it feels like just yesterday i watched this stream for 13 hours
it's XD
I miss the old edited version, but I'm just happy that Jared doing a nuzlocke again.
Rewatching this, Jared's commentary in the Ilima battle feels like a gym leader facing a challenger who's rolled up with an EV-trained monster.
That Smeargle kicks everyone's asses, llima has no mercy.
really? I was able to beat it easily, The bird with the fighting move, there also the Machop npc trade for a fighting type.
Gamemaster64 You weren't going by Nuzlocke rules as well as no items in battle, though, were you? No offense, but the rules do make a huge difference.
I'm doing a Nuzlocke as well. My god did Smeargle give me a wake up call. Luckily I was able to beat him and Keep my Popplio. Though I may want to redo the nuzlocke, I counted Rout 1 and route 1 outskirts as different areas since they get their own title cards, and I don't know if that was allowed or not.

"Dammit!"
"Y'know what? I don't care. My mom's hot!"
-Jared, 2016
This game.... this game is hard! Actual tactics! Tough as hell Pokemon! You bastards wanted a tougher game... we got it...
Edit: 57:15 Famous last words Jared. famous last words...
That first and fifth totem, even the third one killed me
no pokemon game is too tough if you go to the first trial with a fully evolved pokemon.
Vendetta fifthofnovember Yeah but even a butterfree can't take many technician boosted embers
Mason Miller was talking about a fully evolved starter. xD
10 hours in, and I've been steamrolling everything. It is most definitely the hardest Pokemon game, but still is really easy when comparing it to the Shin Megami games.
"I don't want this game too be stupid easy"
Gets wiped out by a Smeargle...
Those Hints and notifications doesn't make the game easier, they just make human error such as forgetting type weakness etc not an excuse for a lost anymore.
the Smeargle is OP, nothing but lots and lots of grinding will help with it, and having 6 Pokemon which he can't do in a Nuzlocke
Dude, Kukui's not just a professor, he's your hype man, WOO!
Also..."this game looks like it's for babies" they said, "it's so casual" they said, "it won't even require any thought" they said. Oh you poor fools...
3:48:51
"Game is still set to easy mode"
little did he know...
First world problem: I want to watch Jared but I don't want to be spoiled.
4:33 - Cousin is a Hawaiian term they use, not because were all related, (though that's technically true) but that were all one, big, happy family! (most of the time)
I know I shouldn't complain about Jared doing this again, but man do I wish he did it like the old format.
Lord Swagnemite I completely agree it's hard to watch a 4 hour video
You were playing an extremely hard Nuzlocke, put extra restrictions on yourself, and then went in overconfident. You really don't get to complain.
"This game is so unrealistic magazines don't exist anymore" oh Jared! Of cores they do have you never sat in a Doctor's office lounge?
XD AWWWW YEAH MY BODY IS READY my god that was funny
Shane Ferguson "of cores"
Sean O'Reilly that one was auto correct thank brain
For anyone wondering why one Yungoos hit harder with tackle than the other it's because of the two different abilities it can get, strong jaw and adaptability. Strong jaw powers up biting moves while adaptability powers up STAB moves by 50%.
So a STAB move would power up the attack by 50%, if a move got 100 base power and it's STAB then it becomes 150 base power, however with adaptability instead of then becoming 150 base power it becomes 200 base power.
So that Yungoos with adaptability used Tackle which got 40 base power, for a normal Yungoos Tackle would become 60 base power because of STAB but for that adaptability Yungoos Tackle became 80 base power.

Thanks, glad to know it wasn't just me who felt this way.
No problem :) I totally get it.
meh, he's in the right though that Smeargle is horse shit
It's so nice to see someone enjoy a game spoiler Free. I can't help myself. I look at everything.
I just beat Pokémon Moon so I came to watch your Nuzlockes. I was afraid of spoilers so I didn't watch them as soon as they arrived. I can't believe I watched the whole 4 hours straight. I've never watched any video for 4 hours. I get tired of movies after an hour. I need breaks. And yet, this video was entertaining me whole time. Tells a lot about the game and the gamer. Thanks Jared. You gave good laughs especially the SoaD song while battling against a Slowpoke.
I was going to watch this, but after seeing that intro I'm convinced that is better for me to avoid spoilers at any cost.
Lucciano Bartolini yeah, from what I've heard this has the best plot in the series by far
Ya I avoided anything about this game for nine months, it's worth it to play this as blind as you can.
+robert hebert he doesnt make ir far in this run anyways
THANK YOU... I was looking for something to watch.
Jared it takes 4 stages of accuracy down to give 100 accuracy moves a 50% miss chance... So the smeargle not missing wasn't unlucky at all for you, thats what was supposed to happen.
DAMN IT!
its just a stream archive!!
i was hoping for ep1 of a proper series.
ALSO DO MORE ROM HACK NUZLOCKES!!!
He won't because the comments rip him to shreds
He won't do a proper Nuzlocke series anymore, because he said it's not worth the time and effort to edit them, just to get them claimed by Nintendo.
I like the stream archive, it's longer and I get to see everything and that means he actually uploads them so my shit internet can actually see it. (I can't stream twitch very well unfortunately).
If he had just gone all out and attacked, instead of trying to play smart by lowering accuracy and attack, he probably would have won and only lost 1, maybe 2 pokemon max. I think he was relying too much on odds and luck, instead of actually doing the 1 thing he needed to do to win.
Pokemon sun and moon arent nuzloke freaindly. This game kicks your ass.
HE LEARNED THAT LESSON.
ninjayoshiguy this game is much better compared to x and y in that reguard. holly shit
In terms of normal gameplay, or Nuzlocked? The game is pretty easy for me, although I just completed the first island. I have noticed that the AI is a bit smarter than previous generations, although sometimes they'd use the same move on my pokemon that was ineffective.
SonicChaocc You dont even know friend....
I reached Hala with my starters at 21. He was kind of a pushover. I will say that Totem Gumshoos was a tough one to crack, though.
I'm only 57:00 into this, so it's probably addressed later, but the reason you see the effectiveness of moves after fighting a Pokemon once is because you get the type info for a Pokemon in your Pokedex once you've fought it. You don't need to discover individually every time a fire move is super effective against a grass Pokemon, you just need to find out that it's a grass type Pokemon.
the look on Jareds face when that Smeargle uses leafage. And he thought this was gonna be fucking easy lmao
that glass cannon smergal wipe
I knew it was inevitable. He hasn't won a Nuzlocke since FireRed since he implemented his "NO ITEMZ DURINGZ BATTLE!!11!" rule. That's not logic I can get behind.
Anduril74871 ya the no items in battle is harsh and with this games totem bosses I was doubting he would make it
It gets him views.
That rule is only reason I watch his, specific nuzlockes only. It actually gives challenge and doesn't make a pokemon battle just healing your pokemon every three seconds.
It's perfectly logical. The logic is to increase the challenge. I've pretty much never used healing items during battles in all my years of playing pokemon, feels cheap and also feels like the pokemon are not winning on their own merits.
these donation and subscription notices are SERIOUSLY annoying
I agree. They are absolutely terrible.
Cirno Imouto Very distracting, for both the viewer and for Mr. Jared.
Cody Hines
sadly, its what keeps the flow of donations going.
People are going to donate non-stop since they get called out by someone who is more famous than them, giving them some kind of validation for existing.
At some points, the stream is just "Thank you X for subscribing, button up your blue shirt and enjoy the emotes. Thank you Y for donating. Thank you Z for subscribing, button up your blue shirt and enjoy the emotes"
truly great commentary.
It's unwatchable
well there wont be any now
50% of Nuzlocke deaths - That Smeargle
My Nuzlocke death - a random trainer with Garbodor on Poni island.
This is the greatest Nuzlocke of all time.
OH MAH LAWD! Its been WAY too long since a ProJared Nuzlocke!!! Please keep up with it!
Really a different experience watching a Nuzlocke live, have some good vibes and anti-crit luck
Jared needs a Nuzlocke modification rule that if he find a bug he can release whatever one Pokémon he found for the area in favor of the bug. I’d be fully in support of a modification that ended up with Jared getting mor bug Pokémon.
4 hours of projared nuzlocke!!!!!!!!! :D what a great Sunday this will be!! thanks Jared
Can we get an Austraillian Pokemon where everything wants to kill you?
Why....everything already does
The game with landmine turtles, murderous sandcastles, eldritch dolls that want to be loved and giant angry dragon trees isn't bad enough?
The only thing Poketrailia would add is every new pokemon is a poison type
jalen sablan not only will Pokémon attack you but you'll also get randomly poisoned while walking trough the grass
This was the BEST STREAM EVER
this stream was awesome to be apart of. was a great time
...if you see a Pokemon, its type is automatically recorded in your Pokedex, even without capturing it. It's been this way since at least Gen III. You could check your pokemon's move types, and compare them to the wild pokemons type. This isn't anything new, it's just a streamlined version of what already existed.
Yay! My heart is already pounding from excitement ♡ Your nuzlocks are the best videos to binge watch.
2:01:43 jared: i need a powerful name
me: name it anything but donald
jared: d....
me: DONT YOU DARE!
in the arms of the angles
Jared just made more in 4 hours than i make in 2 weeks.....
When I saw I could remove my hat... I cried tears of joy. My niece thought I was crazy, but she wouldn't understand the struggle of having a hat glued to your head for... uh... when did R/B/Y come out? '96? We'll say '96.
After finally getting and finishing the game, I am here to enjoy this nuzlocke. Seeing as Jared skips dialogue every now and then, I hope he doesn't miss on any of the comedy.
He did. He completely missed the "you'll wish your mother was a miltank" line. Disappointing.
I think you over thought that last battle, should've just attacked instead of using three status attacks. Guess I'll check out sun now lol
*instantly gets mom blocked*
This is what happens when you actively make the Nuzlocke harder on yourself than the default rules :)
No Healing in Battles is your own rule, and has cost you *every* failed Nuzlocke.
Not using the EXP Share, puts you in unnecessary danger when you don't need to and can give you an extra level or two for your high leveled mon when you level your low leveled ones.
This spot is *asbolutely* a difficult one, but you *absolutely* made it harder on yourself than you needed to.
sabata2 Don't blame the rules, blame him for pushing his limits. There are plenty of nuzlockers that have absolutely insane rules that manage to win anyways.
Watched this live, was a great time but I had missed a bit of it after the third hour or so glad to catch it here!
..And done. I've been watching this video over the course of a Month. Now to move on to the Sun Nuzlockes!
Team Skull totally look like Jet Set Radio rejects.
This made my day seeing this 4 hr video here. :)
I doubt you'll read this but the pokedex collects type data even if you don't catch the pokemon. So really the whole super effective thing does take the dex data to work.
RNGeesus banished ProJared to the shadow realm.
My policy on shinies and nuzlocke challenges is if I see one, I can catch it, but not use it. They are so rare, that I am not passing on the opportunity.
Shelby Townsend same
That's a pretty common rule for a Nuzlocke, known as the "Shiny clause."
Never use single stage status moves on your opponent.
I like that I can watch the whole series quicker through stream, but I will miss the editing :(
Yeah man. It only takes a couple of a presses to edit something like this. He could even do it in half of one.
Just stop. That joke died. Not to mention this guy never gets a break anywhere I see him.
Just an FYI, Jared: It takes 4 stages of an accuracy changer to result in a 50% hit rate on a move with 100 accuracy. That Smeargle only had two stages, so it wasn't "stupid" that it still hit. For future reference, since I know you didn't wipe in the Sun Nuzlocke last night (this morning?)
Ranylyn No, 2 stages reduces it to 50%, 4 stages to 33% and 6 stages to 25%
Those sound like Gen 1 numbers. Accuracy was nerfed going into Gen 2. Pretty sure the absolute lowest it's gone in a very long time was 33%.
Ranylyn Turns out they're the numbers for every stat _but_ accuracy and evasion. Accuracy and evasion have never worked that way. My bad.
Most people don't consider them often anyways simply due to the negative stigma from people who refuse to carry a counter to them. I only vaguely remembered them since I actually do occasionally use evasion strategies on Pokemon they're okay on. (And even then, all it takes is one counter out of several dozen, and that pokemon is boned.) So no worries.
Also Leafage never misses.
Your first mistake was picking Popplio. Goddamn does this game hate Popplio. A Pichu in the second battle, Magnemites so early, and Smeargle with Leafage. Nothing is sacred when it comes to Popplio users.
Actually, the Smeargle is 'fixed' so it will always have the superior elemental attack to your starter. For Rowlet, it will use Ember; for Popplio, it uses Leafage; Litten, probably Water Gun.
Traditionally, there is always one starter that is tough to raise early on because of type advantages stacked against it by gym/trial battles. conversely, there's one starter that is typically the easiest one to use early on and throughout the entire game, while the third is somewhere in-between the two extremes.
Metroid4ever Huh, I didn't know that. I just had my opposing Smeargle use Sketch on my Charjabug, but failed and started just trying to Struggle.
Robert Blanchard I fear the teachers Magnemite lol
I feel like that Smeargle would have been so much easier if you just attacked it.
Yeah, theres a point when he needed to go "Okay, lowering stats isn't helping me. I'll just go for it"
I think it is neat we gotthe raw archive instead of a sum up or skip grinding. And I knew if someone was going to play a Nuzlock of a new pokemon game (like he did for X&Y) was ProJared.
57:20 "I don't want this game to be stupid easy."
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The totem pokemon are going to fuck this guy up.
Jackman LeBlanc Uhhhhh not if that happens.
Team Skull Grunt is my homeboy.
TrolleyMouse A or B??
Yes.
TrolleyMouse "are you saying im worth less than a pokemon? I already have self esteem issues man"
SS/HG and B/W were produced at the same time, by different teams. Barring later games, that's why those two are different.
*haven't watched it yet.*
so does this mean you aren't going to edit it down like the other series?
He said there won't be an edited version. It's not worth all the time it takes just to have the video get claimed.
Zangril alrighty. thanks.
Dat donation war, tho. I want a video of Jared rolling around in a pile of $1 bills, haha.
I really want to see a GIF image of Jared's face when he's imitating the Water Gun sound effect lol that shit is hilarious to me I dunno why. I laugh every time I see him do it xD
It's so good to see you making more nuzlocke content Jared!
I'm wanting to make another nuzlocke series of my own on my channel, but does anyone know what he uses to capture his gameplay? Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
A capture card for his 3ds. They're pricey, though.
Glad top see you do another one of these dude. I'm going to play the game myself first but then come back to watch this. Btw, I hope @PanormousPanda comes in to narrate everything in the comments again!
That went a lot differently than my fight with Ilima, his smeargle missed the sketch and then just struggled himself to death.
Why is the game so easy? Gets swept by Smeargle.
that is why you should not nuzlocke a game you haven't finished 1st lol
Pokemon Sun and Moon is not a good game to Nuzlocke even if you are experienced. They upped the difficulty big time.
TaurusOxford pokemon uranium was harder lol
I wasn't talking about fangames.
TaurusOxford you have to admit, that game was hell
That's a good thing. Nuzlocke supposed to be hard. It is supposed to feel like you're playing an old school rpg where the game can fuck you up hard.
I felt really bad for Jared at the end there ^^' That Smeargle was some real shit with the Accuracy and such. And he really didn't complain about it as much as many comments here make it out to be. Sure, he was pissed but who wouldn't be with a lost Nuzlocke on the first "Gym"? I hope Sun went better for him, gonna watch that one now.
Flawless starter-naming, I must say.
Gotta be honest Nuzlockes aren't as fun to watch when the Nuzlockes goes all sore loser at the end and just spends 4-5 minutes moping and complaining about the difficulty. Weren't you complaining about it being too easy when it let you know type effectiveness? Weren't you saying you don't want baby-mode? Then don't complain when the game kicks your ass.
DaveyDDial1 I was thinking the same thing.
Yeah, to be honest I don't comprehend how displaying the effectiveness of moves makes the game "stupid easy". Like... it just means you don't have to look up type charts constantly when deciding what move to use? It's a much needed quality of life type of improvement and it's prety great!
projared is a whinny bitch that sucks at pokemon? who would have thought
because finding the type of a new pokemon is a challenge In and of itself, having the game tell you what a pokemon is weak to before you find out yourself takes away from that challenge which is the point of nuzlock runs to begin with, to add some much needed challenge to the games
Hey kid. I think you got some self righteous salt all over your keyboard. Might want to clean that up. It's really sad and pathetic.
2:28:45 "Not a day goes by I don't ask myself the same question."
I agree with Jared i would like the type advantages to hidden so i could just rely on my knowledge
1:55 "SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN..SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN!"
That's a new record on getting your arse beaten lol. In nuzlockes, you are supposed to avoid as many 50/50 as possible, not chase after them.
Enjoyed watching this a lot! Sorry about how it ended. I don't blame you for feeling super annoyed. I would have been too. I'm glad you restarted with Pokemon Sun, gonna go watch that now. :)
Yes! Hyped to watch this. Nuptup was legend but it's time for a new one.
this is what he gets for having a stupid nonheal rule
but you literally can't lose if you heal.
Lloyf Irvind you can, unexpected attacks or criticals can screw you over
Lloyf Irvind Depends, you can set a rule to use one heal item per battle or one per Pokémon
Gabriel Rivero he used a rule where he didn't heal at all
+_ Marux _ (Rootabaz) I know that, I was telling that to the other dude
Jared: This game's too easy there should be options to make it harder
* Loses before even discovering the objective of the game *
:|
"I don't like seeing Pokèmon get hurt!" "LET'S HAVE A NO HOLDS BARRED BATTLE!!!!"
Just thought I'd add in this fun bit of irony. The only wild shiny (non-story, like the red Gyrados in G/S/C) I've ever caught in a non ROM game was a shiny Smeargle. And I hate it. But I caught it anyways 'cause it's the only wild shiny I've ever come across. The only other shinies I've come across in ROM's were a shiny Caterpie, shiny Geodude, and shiny Arbok.
Oh look it's the same exact game as all the other pokemon games
Brainhorn Not at all
There isn't even any gyms anymore lol
Brainhorn Yeah not like Street Fighter and Tekken and Halo and COD and Wow and the tons of other games that release sequels with a few changes. Pokemon is the only series that has ever continued with the same general concept EVER!
Seriously do these people realize they just sound uninformed and ignorant to us Pokemon fans?
Kahle persell There is no need to be upset.
Nice strawman by the way
I'm trying a nuzlocke of this game on Sun version and so far I've had luck such as finding an Abra in the first city that teleported out and losing my Pikipek to a wild pokemon that used pursuit.
