- Could May have become the Hoenn Champion? Pokémon Ruby Hardcore Nuzlocke!
May Normandaughter is one of Ashes traveling companions during his Hoenn journey. Though she focuses on contests, I wanted to see if her Pokémon were good enough to beat Pokémon Ruby as a hardcore nuzlocke.

I used a skitty during my whole playthrough on alpha sapphire bc i couldn't find the moon stone as a kid, im excited to see it in action here
Yeah on first play throughs those unusual evolutions can be tough
Your comment makes me feel old
I used a level 86 Skitty in Alpha Sapphire because I had used it to get experience using Disarming Voice while hoard hunting for a full shiny team. Delcatty loses a lot of Skitty's charm when it evolves so I didn't want to evolve it.
I've often considered doing a May playthrough. But because her actual Hoenn Pokemon are so sparse, and I can't cheat Pokemon in, so I usually sub in a Marill, Roselia, Swablu to give her a full team that matches her aesthetic.
Yeah thats true, I just kinda did what I wanted tbh. But those pokemon certainty do match her
She should have had swablu
I just need that "DID YOU WIN? ALMOST" meme format, please.
I like this idea of can this character beat this game! You should try doing this with some lesser known characters from the anime. I think that would be pretty entertaining! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! The next Gary video is in the works, then I probably need to do Ash in unova. But after that I’ll look for more anime themed characters
Drew was such a good rival
My favourite nuzlock RUclipsr that put alot of time and efford into it. Can't wait until you can start doing this full-time so we can get more
Appreciate that! As awesome as full time would be, I don’t really see it happening anytime in the near future. Things would have to pick up quite a bit for that.
Not gonna lie but I still think the contest-centric episodes may have been the first real instance of when the anime stopped being able to sustain my continued interest back in the day, having already been a major fan from watching so much of the Original Series and movies beforehand.
I owned and played the original Ruby on the GBA myself and could never really get fully into that new feature of Pokémon Contests compared to the traditional battling even for just an optional side-quest, so I guess when the anime started devoting a lot more episodes to May and eventually Dawn participating in contests it didn't make it as easy for me to stay invested in the current series as a whole or be able to relate as much to the goals given to them by the writers. No offense to May or Dawn as characters as I'm sure they were wanting to give them something to do than just being new tag-alongs for Ash while also showcasing one of the newest features from the games, but it just wasn't my thing like it was for them, and it definitely wasn't the thing that got me into the Pokémon anime and games to begin with.
Though if I thought I was losing interest in the anime then it's still nothing compared to the changes that were to follow that contributed even more to my lost interest in the anime over the years, namely the replacement of the English voice cast and eventually that extremely polarizing art style shift that started with the Sun & Moon series.
This is the most "May" run I could ever imagine
That was the plan!
i freaking love this series dude!! I love watching your videos then trying it myself and thank you for the sprite patches cause that's my favorite thing
I figured since my ash and Gary videos did so well, I might as well lean into anime characters a bit. Glad you like it!
@@NuzlockeJoewill you continue this series with other characters too?
@@zedkon3302 That's the plan, though they are a larger time investment than just normal runs so it can take longer.
If you ever run out of people from the anime to copy the teams of you should try the pokedex holders from the manga
25:19 love the Pitch Meeting reference haha
No idea what you’re talking about!
Yeah he is back! Go Joe, love this series
25:21 I understood that reference 😂
Another banger of a video! Keep them coming!
Thanks! Hopefully I have more time over summer to work on more videos
I remember doing a playthrough of Omega Ruby in my videos and couldn't find half of May's team. So, I added Altaria (1. because of the trailer for the games and 2. May did befriend a swablu but never caught it), Dustox (it was a failed Beautifly and I had to catch a silcoon after failing the evolution), and that cosplay Pikachu that's mainly a freebie. I even did my own version of the Grand Festival in that game.
May is one of my favorite characters in the anime
This was great I never finished that season so it was good to see it here
Fun video
Hope to see more Pokegirl ones if perform well
Maybe do Misty in Gen 2
Also Team Rocket Trio as well
I actually had a rocket trio nuzlocke idea sometime ago, but I doubted it was actually possible. Not sure how I’d get past Brock for example
Steven really needs to go to Kantos Mall man
Or celadon even
Imo May's Skitty should've come back for a contest and evolved during the Battle Frontier season.
That would have been good
Your my favorite youtuber and I subscribed to you
Thanks! Appreciate that man
Really Love your video
dude I love your content it is so Kool 😎👍
Still seems wierd, a Munchlax in the Hoenn anime, while it was introduced in gen 4 (Sinnoh)
Yeah, but they did that for a number of Pokémon as a bit of a teaser. Like Togepi in the original series, and that guy in the Johto championship who had a blaziken
@@NuzlockeJoe yeah alright, fair enough
Anyone else saw Taytay the Taillow and immediately went to Bad Blood when David Cook lost? No just me?
I just started my playthrough of Alpha Sapphire with water types and named my character Lana from Sun and Moon. :>
the hoenn region is still my favorite generation in all 9
Gen 3 overall has a special place in my heart for sure
May is only ten?!
Yeah she is! All these kids are way to young to be wandering around unsupervised
@@NuzlockeJoeYeah you're right. What are their parents thinking
Doesn't focus punch miss if you hit them?
It does, but if flaking had used facade instead, munchlax would have died. And I would rather risk beatufly instead
Why didn't you put Drew in the rival fights and Harley in the last one against Wally?
Couple of reasons:
I wanted to try and keep the contests separate from the Nuzlocke itself. I did go through as May, but still wanted to kind of complete pokemon Ruby.
The real reason though is I'm lazy. I used Ash as my rival because I had already used a Hoenn Ash sprite before, so it was really easy to import into this game. But for Drew and Harley, I would need to get/create new sprites which is always the most difficult part for me tbh.
u should be tobias next It should be easy
Maybe, but with only two pokemon if anything goes wrong, your are kinda of screwed.
22:09 that sharpedo's name??!?
Are we going to ignore the fact he is using glaceon in Pokemon ruby
Who greenlit that Sharpedo's nickname???
8:00
That was very good Joe! But I do think that it would be more challenging if you had played only with May's Hoen Pokemon. Skitty, beautifly, conbusken, and for more coverage, allow Squirtle too. I don't know if it would be possible this way but the idea was just that, seeing if it was possible. Even so I must say, this way probably it wouldn't be possible, but your idea showing now and then the anime is gorgeous, I really like it! The way you did May's team is really balanced you know, and sure it would be worth a try. Congratulations, Joe! As always I 'm cheering for your success! You deserve it! I don't know if you already did it, but I'd like to see if a hardcore as a team magma or Acqua grunt would be possible. Maybe you could try it. Thank you for the video, very fun!
It certainly would have been more difficult with only her real Hoenn pokemon, but I’m not sure if I could do it.
@@NuzlockeJoe oh, yeah I understand why!
Only issue I had is when you said no one likes Brock hahahaha, Brock is MY MANS (I know it was a joke
I’ll be honest, I get tired of the falls in love with every girl anime troupe pretty quickly
@@NuzlockeJoe oh absolutely, but from a friend standpoint he’s the best friend you could ask for, he cooks for you, he cares about your pets and he travels with you for years
Like who is ash and Pikachu ? I don't remember them who are they ?
Nobody important I think
First comment(of this particular and oddly specific text)!!!
12:42 Cussing is poor language skill. 12:44 Also you accidently said torkoal is a he, instead of she.
In the anime, Norman cheats on his wife. 💀
They’re actually planning a surprise for his wife, but it sure looks suspicious
idk if it was an intentional choice by you but May never evolved her Skitty or Wartortle
It was a specific decision. I didn't want to be stuck with crappy pokemon like skitty and munchlax, so I decided to let them evolve.

3rd
First ,i am your biggest fan please pin😅
Why 👏🏼 do 👏🏼 Pokétubers 👏🏼 always 👏🏼 do 👏🏼 nicknames?!
It's part of nuzlocke rules
To add to the previous comment, it's specifically to make it hurt more when a pokemon dies.
What's wrong with nicknames? I always nickname my team.
why do people think its normal to use the 👏 emoji between every word
genuine mental illness
I know no one cares but I'm dissapointed in you for cheating with that delcatty evolution. And the other ones you'll probably do later. Goes against the point of a theme run.
