2:57 Minor spelling mistake, point and laugh everyone Actually after thinking for more than two seconds it was probably intentional. Surely Mr Jacob Alpharad wouldn't misspell a word in two different ways on accident
This had some of the best reaction shots with the closes ups in a while. Stunned shock, blank disbelief.. amazing. Also I love the tension that that low heath jingle added in these games. Don't even have to use edits, it was just built in, and in a Nuzlock, all the more clench worthy.

Lmao, I still love the pic of the DMs between you and Jan where you brought up the "Nuzlocke King" thing and he just went "This is going in my suicide note"
I've tried to nuzlocke B2/W2 before, absolutely brutal generation. Most of the gyms have type advantages against the starters, especially for tepig and snivy
yeah with a randomizer it takes the sting out of b2w2 but i think those are the most upfront challenging nuzs in the franchise. Those first four gyms will reck your shit so fast if you don't get the right encouters or get okod along the way.

you can obtain a copy of the difficulty option by connecting to a game that has unlocked it.
