Given how passionate Alpha was about his legendary World Of Light nuzlocke, the fact that he never actually did a Pokemon nuzlocke up until this point is really surprising.
@@burntmarshmallowboy956 its usually a term i see in smash bros but it refers to something good but unlikely happening. Like an opponent self destructing in smash bros would usually lead to a "we take those" being said.
The best part about Brayden screaming "I thought it had Sturdy!", is that Sturdy doesn't protect against normal moves one-shotting until Gen V. In Gen III and IV, it only protects against moves like Sheer Cold and Fissure.
I love how Jaiden's nuzlocke runs had the most heartbreaking deaths, and Jacob just rolls up like "whatup, these are my pets, wanna see me throw them in this woodchipper?"
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!! I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get all the time. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't hate me, dear fla
I mean it's not far off. It kinda feels like making gingerbread houses as a kid and it keeps falling apart, so you just dump a bunch of the icing glue on it and call it a day. that is literally this entire run.
This might legitimately be one of the best scripts you've ever written. There are so many perfect turns of phrase, and on rewatch I can really appreciate how good the callbacks/foreshadowing are. Also the art is the perfect compliment. Overall, this is just extremely good shit.
This is probably one of my favorite nuzlocke runs ever, the 'send it' mentality early leading to the tedious studying and fear at the end is SO good combined with the amazing art makes this a :peepopopcorn: run
So Dragon Ball? List of dumb decisions: 1. Goku gives Cell a Senzu bean, healing Cell before forcing his own son to fight Cell to the death. 2. Vegeta tries to kill his own son just so he can fight Cell at full power 3. Gohan almost lets the Earth blow up just so he can make Cell suffer 4. Vegeta let Majin Buu be revived just so he could try to get revenge on Goku (Goku was stronger than him anyways) 5. Goku fully heals Moro and then politely asks Moro to go back to Jail (LOL Moro almost destroyed the galaxy as a result)
@@brandonbrix5126 Yeah it's Kidd. The discord overlays Alpha puts on his Among Us vids shows that Kidd has a green toad with Deku's face. Only one with such a maddening visage can send two brave men to their deaths
Alpha might aswell name his Poké team _"The Suicide Squad"_ over the tremendous amount of stupid deaths and outright massacres that occurred during this Fire Red Nuzlocke
Braiden: yeah let's throw one of the weakest specially defensive mons in the game against a stab ice punch which happens to be super effective against it
Also Braiden, not knowing that Onix in Gen III can have Sturdy or Rock Head and that Sturdy in this gen only affected moves like Fissure: I thought it had Sturdy!
"For all the stupid f****** decisions I've made" The main ones being trusting Braden, thinking Braden had good ideas, and assuming Brayden was just there to help his friend and not make blood sacrifices to Satan.
You know, he’s known as an internet funnyman, but real talk he’s got an amazing ability to tell a story with ups and downs and get you emotionally invested. I feel like it’s not as well seen, but videos like this really show he’s a great storyteller. Can’t wait for him to narrate an audiobook
Mhm! He manages to always get me excited for these narrating videos, he can tell a story with both humour and heartbreak and not make it feel forced. These types of videos might just be my favourite
I don't remember the exact number but the original Pokemon Hard Mode comic, which is where nuzlockes come from, had a lot of deaths, especially in the initial ruby run
I mean, he probably could've used dig, it's physical in that gen, unlike bite or flamethrower (dark and fire type moves were both special types pre-Physical/Special split), and alakazam has a very low physical defensive stat being 45, but what he did was better for content. Not saying I completely disagree with his choice, but it's fun to think of the possibilities.
"I thought it had sturdy!" Well, onix does, but sturdy is really bad until 5th gen. Before that sturdy only worked with the OHKO moves like sheer cold and fissure.
That Sabrina fight, was by far the most devastating nuzlocke moment I have ever seen in my life. That match is giving me PTSD from when I fought Cynthia... She destroyed my nuzlockes so many times!
It's fitting, because Sabrina is one of the hardest NPC's in the game. Alakazam is the strongest non-legendary in the game because of its high speed and special attack, and at this point there were no hard counter to it outside precise planning. She's a known nuzlocke ender, even though most people fall to Misty and Gary.
After Jolteon dies: "I'm never listening to you again, Brayden!" "Dude, use your Onix against Jynx" "Yeah, why not :3" If it makes you feel better, Onix dying was technically your mistake for listening to Braydens advice AGAIN.
Using Onix at all was a mistake, Onix is trash. He brought it to counter the Charizard, but it just loses to Charizard because Onix's Sp. Def and HP are horrible, and his attack is also horrible so it can't OHKO charizard with 4x effective Rock Slide, and to top it all off Onix is slower than Charizard and gets 2HKO by him.

@@bobbysimon1078 ok but why would you use fixed do, having do as the tonic is so much more useful. If do is C this is correct, but megalovania is in d minor, so it's do do Do sol
Let's see what did he do wrong, he didn't grind, risked crits, killed a female Nidoran when it was already at half health... yeah nothing wrong at all.
"I thought it had Sturdy!" The problem with that logic is that in Gens 3 and 4, Sturdy literally only protected against moves like Sheer Cold, which *guarantee* death when they hit regardless of stats or type matchups (except for very specific types depending on the move). It didn't gain its Focus Sash effect until Gen 5, so even if "Mewtwo" did have Sturdy, it wouldn't have protected it from a Super Effective Ice Punch.

The way that you can simply switch out after using perish song, but Jacob just readily accepted Lapras’ death as unavoidable made the Sabrina fight a little extra cursed. I mean it didn’t die to it in the end but it was still ironic how he didn’t swap it because he thought it was futile lol

21:49 "I thought it had Sturdy!" It probably does but before gen 5 all that sturdy does is prevent OHKO moves. (also even if it was post gen 5 sturdy switching to Onix would still be a horrible idea)
@@iantaakalla8180 I mean, against an electric type with no non-electric special moves Onyx isn't a terrible switch in. It's physical defense and speed are decent enough. It's just the attack and special defense which are absolute garbage
And of course it ad to be set to a remix of Don't Ever Forget from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. That song made that part even more sad.
"I thought it had sturdy!" Never ever under any circumstance listen to that guy ever again, whenever he tries insisting on something mute him until the moment has passed and then let him speak once you're finished. Anyone who doesn't know that Sturdy was contender for most worthless ability pre gen 5 cannot be trusted with anything Pokemon.
yep! in gen 3, Sturdy can only stop: Fissure, Sheer Cold, Horn Drill and Guillotine. thats it! in gen 5 a Pokemon with Sturdy will live on 1 HP, but only if said Pokemon is at 100% HP, and takes damage from a move that would do 100% or more damage to it.
@@wmzer0mw yeah, he should have kept the dodrio on his team, he already had coverage against flying types with his poliwrath (ice beam).

"I thought it had Sturdy!"
Sturdy doesn't work that way til Gen 5. Prior to that it only made the user immune to OHKO moves like Sheer Cold
The sturdy buff was such a good change
thanks for sharing
Even if Onix lived on 1 hp, it wouldn't have outsped the Jynx on the next turn. And even if it did, it probably wouldn't have OHKOd Jynx anyway. Honestly so confused by this dude's advice
@@jeljrij I men if Sturdy had functioned as it did in Gen 5 the possibility of Max Potion stalling Ice Punch is there.

The way that you can simply switch out after using perish song, but Jacob just readily accepted Lapras’ death as unavoidable made the Sabrina fight a little extra cursed. I mean it didn’t die to it in the end but it was still ironic how he didn’t swap it because he thought it was futile lol

Return of the funny.

Welcome back 3 time video game world champion ❤️
YAY
If there’s one thing that school AND alpharad has taught me, it’s that being “smart” and “competent” is overrated
Typically a nuzzlocke doesn’t start until you get poke balls so the first death of funko pop was not really a death
I take the omen of losing the first battle to reset anyways
Yeah but like... You gotta go for glory
ya but that removes the funniness:)
Other nuzzlocke runs start before getting the pokeballs, for the reason why, I dunno. More challenge I guess
@@weanteawashere5021 1 because its funny to get insta gibbed
2. Because if you don't it leaves a loophole for power lvling, unless you use the boss ace level limit.
The joke about alpha naming his ghastly “mankey” is funnier now because primapes new evolution died and became a ghost type

He could have continued that run since Nuzlocks only start when you get pokeballs
@@guilhermeramos7878 He could, but honestly, would anyone continue a nuzlocke that started that way? At least I wouldn't, I would just breathe and say "Let's start this again, shall we?" and hope that that wasn't an indicative of what was to come in the future and that I would not lose three important team members to random crits.
This video is a great way of understanding how good Alpharad is at story telling. We care about pokemon we meet only minutes before, and hes still funny
pretty sure Funko Pops gonna need some serious therapy after that. He survived the entire way, from start to finish, but in the process saw all of his friends die.
several times
The poor thing is traumatized
It's only right that Alpharad has to have such a heart-rending run.
ngl, i actually started crying when alpha started talking after sabrinas battle. that was a a very moving dialouge. lol
This is genuinely well written, I'm impressed.
This dude actually didn't get critical hit after saying

It probably does but before gen 5 all that sturdy does is prevent OHKO moves. (also even if it was post gen 5 sturdy switching to Onix would still be a horrible idea)
Is there any battle where Onix would be a good switch-in in any battle where it does not become a sacrifice or need a sacrifice to switch in?
@@iantaakalla8180 honestly just having an onix just in general at that point of the game in a nuzlocke is uh, questionable
@@iantaakalla8180 Vs a level 1 Pidgey
@@iantaakalla8180 I mean, against an electric type with no non-electric special moves Onyx isn't a terrible switch in. It's physical defense and speed are decent enough. It's just the attack and special defense which are absolute garbage
Having an Onix in first place is an horrible idea. Is basically using 5 Pokémon and a death fodder for 99% of battles
Going into gym battles 10 levels under their weakest Pokemon and getting your cheeks clapped, while screaming in confusion is a very on brand move.

"I thought it had sturdy!"
Never ever under any circumstance listen to that guy ever again, whenever he tries insisting on something mute him until the moment has passed and then let him speak once you're finished.
Anyone who doesn't know that Sturdy was contender for most worthless ability pre gen 5 cannot be trusted with anything Pokemon.
"Everything went wrong in 3 seconds" nah fam, it went wrong when you went into the first gym underleveled, and kept tempting RNGesus
"I thought it had Sturdy"
Yes, but Sturdy in gen III only blocks 1 HIT KO moves
yep! in gen 3, Sturdy can only stop: Fissure, Sheer Cold, Horn Drill and Guillotine.
thats it!
in gen 5 a Pokemon with Sturdy will live on 1 HP, but only if said Pokemon is at 100% HP, and takes damage from a move that would do 100% or more damage to it.
not that it matters, since Onix has the attack stat of a pidgey...
@@wmzer0mw yeah, he should have kept the dodrio on his team, he already had coverage against flying types with his poliwrath (ice beam). As for jynx, he could have used magneton (a steel type) or hypno (the only other team member that wasn't weak to ice). Also why did his hypno know focus punch, that's a wasted move slot
Fun fact : low kick would’ve done less damage than scratch on a poison type.
