I watched this nuzlocke an unspeakable amount of times back in 2014-2016, and I remember leaving comments as the series progressed Still my favorite let's play of all time, I would definitely watch a new one, and then watch it more and more
2 года назад+3914
This was a lot of fun to watch! Its a really good case study to go over runs where the player has really limited game knowledge! Glad you enjoyed the reaction!
I would pay money to see you have to deal with him on anything. Couching him through a nuzlock, fighting him on showdown, anything. A soul -link with you two being so difference would be the most amusing best thing I would ever watch. Collab with him somehow please. I would die.
I like that you take the time to come see the vids of people you reacted to. I will say i felt peebs on a spiritual level when he said it's not in the spirit to leave a Pokemon behind. Obviously sometimes there's no choice if the alternative is a team wipe, but the whole point of the naming rule, to me, is to treat them as friends and get attached. My goal with a nuzlock is always to win with as many Pokemon left possible. (Of course that's just me tho)
The juxtaposition of these two personalities is so hilarious, on one hand PChal who has done so many runs over so many years that he's super analytical and unfazed by Pokemon dying, viewing them as tools rather than virtual pets and then Peebs, who has next to no knowledge or experience about the game yet is super passionate and really attached to his mons, with the dramatic red flash and music accompanying every death. Beautiful crossover XD
It's like showing off the fanbase itself, which is ironic, weird, and funny since Peebs isn't that into Pokemon. He's played what just gen 1 aside from his nuzlock? It's like the conflicting sides of the fans that play it for the collecting and/or RPG elements which makes up slightly the majority vs the competitive side of the fan base which slightly makes up the minority... what I mean by slightly is like it's close split, like 49 and 51 % I'd say, but most people do play these games you know for the Pokemon, for the collecting, or those of us this was our 1st RPG and we still love it and got into other RPGs because of it.
Jan's Nuzlocke reactions always feel like watching Simon Cowell judging a performer who put their heart and soul into their dance on X-Factor or something. Lmao
@@Jason-er1vf I know, it was mostly a joke. In his early days judging singing contests on TV, Simon Cowell wasn't as harsh as his reputation, but over the years he started playing his harsh comments up for the audience.
I love that this man goes from "God what a loser, just shut up already" to like actually being exited and happy for your win. High quality character development right there
Jan’s content is really funny without ever being too harsh or mean. He’s definitely dry at times but he genuinely enjoys seeing other people do good in the nuzlocking and whatnot.
I don’t think he ever disliked Peebs. He just doesn’t vibe with wacky zaney type content and all that high energy and random noise making. He enjoyed the run mostly tho and even commented here.
Jan actually straight up said in another reaction video of his that he played so many nuzlockes and was so disensitized to losing Pokémon that he related more to Pokémon villains at this point. So this disagreement of yours with his mentality about making sacrifices makes perfect sense, haha.
@@priestesslucy It was the video in which he reacted to MandJTV's first nuzlocke. I don't remember the exact timestamp, though. One of the top comments alludes to a part where he hinted at it, but I remember him taking it a step further later on in the video.
You can actually see in one of his much earlier series. I think it was a hack of Alpha Sapphire, that Jan wasn't quite as desensitized yet. He had actual emotion when a key party member died.
Not gonna lie watching this recap of the Nuzlocke makes me kinda want another Nuzlocke from Peebs, like I know it’s unlikely but it would be fun to see this again.
I do remember he had another Nuzlocke on one of his birthday subbathons at some point in the past, I want to say 2019 or 2020. I could be wrong, but I thought I saw that milestone was met. Ultimately, it's all up to him if he wants to go through that again, but he didn't seem like he wouldn't NOT want to.
peebs standing up to Jan at the end, saying that losing pokemon in the final fight is wrong, was so emotional. The emotional attachment, still 7 years later, is so powerful.
I'm 21 now, was watching pbg since around the very beginning. I think peebs was a highlight in a lot of our childhoods. Love looking back on old stuff like this
Yeah! My favorite thing about his analysis is that he doesn't really gatekeep anyone about how they do their Nuzlocke runs and he gives a lot of great info for challenge stuff. His modded pokemon runs are kind of insane too, guy plays some really crazy rom hacks.
@@darkwatershadow Except for Alpharad. No way you could watch that cringe master with a straight face and an even temperament. Of course, that's by intentional design, so not strike against Jan. (Though, Pokemon Challenge's RUclips ad-rolling did force me to turn on AdBlock, when I used to keep it off most of the time on here specifically.)
I would absolutely kill to see a soul link nuzlocke between these 2. The sheer polarization between Peeb's inexperience and drama vs Jans expertise and unflinching reactions would be incredible.
No way I 100% watched this. I just went through the playlist and it’s actually nostalgic for me. I even found a comment I left 7 years ago. Thanks for making it Peebs
I watched the original when it came out and loved it! Then I watched his reaction to your nuzlocke live and loved it, but then you reacted to it and I never expected it at all!!! Amazing Vid 👍
I'm so sad to hear people were yelling at you - your nuzlocke is one of my favorites of all time! The mistakes and lack of knowledge make it BETTER, not worse. :D
One of the cool things about watching Peebs react to a reaction video of his nuzlocke is getting to understand what his thought process is on making his videos in general. Discuss how he thinks in relation to selling the narrative not only here but in the Hardcore series and all that. I’d love to sit down and pick your brain on your philosophy of making RUclips videos
*CORRECTION* You actually played with the EXP share turned off for most of the Nuzlocke, the vod just skiped you choosing to turn it off for some reason
I know exactly what Peebs meant by "I love being annoying" Once on Pokemon Showdown I tried a Dragonite set with Attract, Confuse Ray, Thunder Wave and Roost. I'm pretty sure that once I actually got it to work my opponent almost immediately forfeit the game
Man, realizing that this Nuzlocke was seven years ago is insane to me. Realistically I know it must have been a long time ago since it's from before even the PB & Jeff era, but putting a number to it puts a whole new perspective on it. Always sad that PBGGameplay is no more, but also always happy to see your videos continue to evolve - been watching you for over a decade, and who knows, maybe there's another decade of Peeb to come!
I've always thought Peebs' Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke was one of the best Pokemon playthroughs on YT, there's so many funny and charming moments, and I always remember how nerve racking and clutch the ending was, it was the perfect ending for a great series and I will always miss those kinds of playthroughs on PBGGameplay. (Rest in Peace ZigZam.)
I like how he's making fun of how much you overreacted in that video but if I'm being honest, that has always been the appeal to your content for me. I think that you are absolutely hilarious.
I keep going back to watch this video a lot. It's like seeing every working of the nuzlocke: Peebs going through with lost of happenings and mistakes & Jan being able to explain them with genuine feedback, Peebs presenting the nuzlocke with exiting, chaotic energy vs. Jan's calm and collected reception to it, Peebs' time, effort and dedication making the nuzlocke series with Jeff & Jan's difficulty watching the entire series just to commentate on it. It really makes me appreciate everything that content creators think about and put into their videos.
As somebody who knows about Pokemon more than any sane person should, but still gets emotional over a Pokemon's death in a nuzlocke, I found this to be the most hilarious thing I've seen all day. Seeing Peebs mourn the death of his beloved ZigZam as the reactor reacts to it heartlessly, and goes on to state 90 different ways he could've avoided the situation was fucking hilarious! Keep up the great work, PBG!
Your nuzlocke was probably the most entertaining nuzlocke I've watched. It's the combination of being a noob but being super passionate about wanting to actually do well. It makes for a great underdog story. Also, the reactions and edition was top notch and you really feel it when a Pokemon dies, even if it's obvious they would die from the perspective of someone who does know Pokemon.
I will say. I loved hearing you go on the tangents about Hardcores and hearing you talk about how you wanted to build suspense in the series, which also affected this series. Because like it gave me a really good appreciation for the story telling you wanted to do even if at the end of it all it was still just a casual series with some sense of suspense in it.
I have barely started the video but I love your old Nuzlocke so much. Like I've watched the whole thing at least 3 times over the years??? Your silly little "Pokemon Pokemon Pokemon Graveyard" song has lived in my head this whole time and it won't leave. That's not a complaint, it's just an observation.
I think this is a really interesting look into the perspective of what let's playing was like back in the day and the mindsets that came with it and that's really cool
That "I don't want them to die" thing is why I have the victory clause in my rules set. If I win the championship fight, I can revive my league team for the post game.
This was SUCH a fun nostalgia trip, I remember actively watching this series as it came out and genuinely hoping for Peebs' success (while simultaneously face-palming when he put out a Pokemon weak to his opponent, of course)! Ah, good times.
Yeah I feel like a lot of people forget about the entire reason you force yourself to nickname each and every Pokemon when they play a Nuzlocke. It's all about the emotional connection, even with Pokemon you don't really like. But I guess I can't blame them. When you lose so many friends over the course of so many nuzlockes, you start to lose that ability to FEEL.
@@billy-the-butcher That kinda goes without saying. I was referencing a very specific factoid about the Pokemon Challenges content creator. Given the ruleset he uses, some of the harder romhacks tend to come down to grinding against the RNG just to come out of battles with the Pokemon needed alive to pass future encounters. Kinda like the type of time investment related to a speedrunner grinding out difficult to execute skips to get better times.
@@Shalakor lol yeah. One of the harder Rom Hacks he finished a while ago, Emerald Kaizo, is so particular that he would reset a run like 10-15 minutes in purely based on what random encounters he got because the difficulty of that hack makes it matter SO much. His winning attempt at 151 he finally got Swellow on like the second route which only had a 1% chance of appearing, and it ended up hard carrying most of the run because of how broken Guts+Facade+Stab is
Thanks for uploading this. Missed the stream but I loved this Nuzlocke series back in the day. I still remember stuff like how you'd say Lawlup and how tense I felt watching that final battle. Definitely one my favorite let's plays in general.
I think the reason you're coming up more is because of nostalgia and it being years since you started, I definitely look back fondly at your old videos especially your nuzlocke and when you guys did the hardcore series! Reminds me of when I was in high school.
Man, your editors are amazing. From SpaceHamster Geoph to Toasty, the music choices are 🤤 It's making me wish there was just a list of music and it's timestamps in every description, but you all work hard enough hahah
Just discovered this channel. I absolutely love your commentary and editing! Such a throwback because I watched the original Nuzlocke in 2014 it’s been awesome to rewatch it with your new commentary
@@BigSillyGoose2000 And while I do know quite a lot about Pokémon, I know next to NOTHING about Nuzlockes, but I love watching Peebs, and I love playing Pokémon, 25 years after it first came out on TV, but I'm sure I wouldn't have been part of the angry mob, crapping on poor Peebo. He's just an average dude doing his best, who openly and honestly admits that he's a scrub when it comes to Pokémon, his words, not mine, because I think he's a great guy. It's ok to not know a lot about something, like Pokémon. I mean, there's nearly 800+ Pokémon, and the series has been going for nearly 30 years, so its not possible to keep up with it forever. But, you can try to, and you can still do a great job regardless of whether or not your Pokémon knowledge is either a little or a lot. Because Peebs maxed out his luck stats here. But I do genuinely feel the same way as Peebs does about his Pokémon. That 1. Never abandon any of them, no matter what, 2. That he genuinely loves each and every one of them, as do I, because that's just how you succeed at being a Pokémon master, you genuinely love and care about your Pokémon, and pretty much all Pokémon, even if you can't use all of them on your team. 3. He wants to win(I mean; who doesn't? He was going up against the Champion of the Hoenn region, Gen 3, Steven Stone), and Austin didn't come all this way to lose, but even if he had lost, at least you can say Austin still cared about each and every member of Team Peebs. Except maybe Elmo. But, like Peebs says, he cares, and wanted the series to be entertaining, which I bet it was. And even if he'd lost to Steven, he still gave it his all, and busted his butt to beat the Elite Four, and the Champion, all in one go. So, props to Peebs, for succeeding, and being the best youtuber ever! And for being the new Hoenn Region Champion, I guess? I mean, I just recently became the Sinnoh Champ in the Diamond remake, and it was great, but not as cool as Peebs being the Hoenn Champion!
This Nuzlocke was my favorite thing to watch when I was in middle school. I was so into it, and it may sound corny but it really helped me pass time when I was in a rough spot😅 I still go back to it sometimes because I still love it so much
He'll never see this, but as someone who rewatches this series once every 6 months or so and watched it as it was coming out, he did not use the EXP share. Maybe one day if I really have nothing to do at work I'll come back through and make an edit of every contradiction in this video from the original series.
I like that this guy isn’t being rude with his analysis. I was concerned this was going to be nothing but a video insulting PBG’s playthrough. Kudos to Jan for being chill.
I think this is the second time someone reacts to Pokémon Challenges’ reaction of their own nuzlocke. RTgame did a reaction video to Pokémon Challenges’ reaction of his nuzlocke as well.
Jan is harsh but he's fair, and I think that sort of stability is great to have from time to time. It also makes great content with how drastically different you and Jan view gaming and making content even if you both are gamers and content creators. Jan is objective and logical, you are emotionally driven and theatrical. Good stuff all around.
oh man this was one of my all-time favorite RUclips series, I remember watching it as it came out originally. it was really fun watching you re-live it
I remember fondly looking forward to each episode of your nuzlocke as a high schooler, this type of nostalgia means everything to me as I struggle to understand adult life😅
it’s likely been suggested before, but since you both are on Twitch, collaborating for a Nuzlocke run would be fantastic. your approaches as performers (high energy with inexperience/dry and strategic) are a classic combination, there’s a very entertaining narrative to be found there. even better, to keep the pro on his toes and capitalize on your “chaotic” style, make it a randomizer.
I said as much on Jans video but it's no surprise how quick you were to learn and adapt. Even back in 2015, you had a lot of experience from your Hardcores that you were pretty good at adapting to situations
Your alpha sapphire series was actually what introduced me to the world of pokemon nuzlocks. And I have to say you set the bar so dang high, your nuzlock is still my alltime fav. I love your content, both old and new, and it's great that you're getting recognition for it.
I had literally just gotten over the death of Frank the birb and this video has to come along and trigger my horrible PTSD about that death. How could you do this to me, peeberton?
I remember watching the full Nuzlocke run back in the day, though I had forgotten how it all played out because it's been so long. The final battle still is just as amazing to watch now as it was back then, coming up clutch like that with just two Pokemon and barely any health left. To do it blindly as your first attempt at a Nuzlocke in general makes it all the more impressive. It's good that Jan enjoyed himself with it in the end as well, and gave some praise for how you grew through the series. I'd be terrified to watch if someone reviewed something I made like this, can only imagine how weird it must feel to see that pop up.
watching jan's reaction to this nuzlocke took me back, now watching your reaction to his reaction to your nuzlocke REAALLY took me back, i forgot how nice it was back then when i wasnt as overly analytical about my nuzlockes and played them like a storyline, i should try it again, less sweat more drama
10:11 this part is so wholesome to me the first encounter i ever had with your channel was when i was like 6 i think and i saw your putt putt videos while like on my mom's computer and it like made me think the series of games was called "peanut butter" or something and i kept asking my dad to download the game with "the car named peanut butter" for me and he couldn't find it and it made me angry and then when i was like 8 i remember watching the charlie church mouse video like in my grandparents backyard but i don't think i knew i had seen your videos before at the time i really love your videos my favorite ones are the arthur ones
It's awesome to hear you talk about your legacy lol your the first person who I really watched on youtube in 2014 and I'm glad all your years of hardwork keep you relevant 10 plus years later
Great to see you revisit the old nuzlocke, I watched it when it came out when I was a kid so it definitely brings back memories. It was actually the first thing to actually introduce me to the concept of Nuzlockes. I got really into it too, like I remember Zigzams death fucking destroyed me, I was actually upset.
I'm just waiting for Jan's "Reacting to PBG's Reaction to My Reaction of His Video" video, and when he gets to the "this isn't sponsored by Manscaped" Jan will be like "well you know which video IS sponsored by Manscaped? *segways to ad*"
Had so much fun with this Nuzlocke back in the day, so it was cool to see someone react/review it.
Did any of you watch it back when it came out? :o
Yes I did, it was quite entertaining
I still rewatch it every few months, you should do another one
Yep, I still watch it from time to time.
I actually found you're channel when I first found space hamster which I think was 2016 or 17. So no sadly I didn't watch it when it first came out.
I watched this nuzlocke an unspeakable amount of times back in 2014-2016, and I remember leaving comments as the series progressed

Glad to see that you’re both being positive! Both vids are great!

@@QueenViolet5 I second this. Especially that last part with the Soul-Link. I would chip in with the money too.

I’ve watched it like 15 times😂

@@BonesYourDaddy I take it you're not very familiar with Jan's content then.

I agree. From his Minecraft Hardcore stuff, to his Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke, Peebs knows how to sell the quality entertainment.
Yeah, like I do remember feeling hurt about his mistakes but it was all in the fun. I'd definitely watch if he did another.
I do remember he had another Nuzlocke on one of his birthday subbathons at some point in the past, I want to say 2019 or 2020. I could be wrong, but I thought I saw that milestone was met. Ultimately, it's all up to him if he wants to go through that again, but he didn't seem like he wouldn't NOT want to.

Now he just needs to react to your reaction of his reaction. Keep this going back and forth indefinitely
The ride never ends...
Yes, I am definitively looking forward to the next reaction layer. No joke at all. Hope it happens.
And he did it with someone else so it’s not impossible to think he would. Except he commented so the reaction now wouldn’t be authentic.

Because like it gave me a really good appreciation for the story telling you wanted to do even if at the end of it all it was still just a casual series with some sense of suspense in it.
The Alpha Sapphire nuzlocke is actually my favorite play through from PBGGameplay I loved it
OH MY GOD THAT SPLIT SECOND OF THE "who needs a map" THE MEMORIES!!!!
The hardcore series was my childhood man, even now I sometimes go back and rewatch it.
I have barely started the video but I love your old Nuzlocke so much. Like I've watched the whole thing at least 3 times over the years??? Your silly little "Pokemon Pokemon Pokemon Graveyard" song has lived in my head this whole time and it won't leave. That's not a complaint, it's just an observation.
I think this is a really interesting look into the perspective of what let's playing was like back in the day and the mindsets that came with it and that's really cool
37:17 peebs is literally ash ketchum he cares about his pokemon
That "I don't want them to die" thing is why I have the victory clause in my rules set. If I win the championship fight, I can revive my league team for the post game.
I'll never forget the final fight against Steven Stone. You're a total noob yet you used the most big brain strategy to win.
I would honestly watch a Pokémon Nuzlocke series JUST to see their terrible mistakes
Loved this nuzlocke so much, especially the finale. Easily one of the most hype endings to a run I’ve ever seen
I miss pb and Jeff I hope it comes back soon. Speaking of pbggameplay.
This was SUCH a fun nostalgia trip, I remember actively watching this series as it came out and genuinely hoping for Peebs' success (while simultaneously face-palming when he put out a Pokemon weak to his opponent, of course)! Ah, good times.
Man this video gave me so much nostalgia. I forgot how great this nuzlocke was
Yeah I feel like a lot of people forget about the entire reason you force yourself to nickname each and every Pokemon when they play a Nuzlocke. It's all about the emotional connection, even with Pokemon you don't really like. But I guess I can't blame them. When you lose so many friends over the course of so many nuzlockes, you start to lose that ability to FEEL.
Yeah, I guess spending as many attempts on a single romhack of Emerald as there were Pokemon in Gen 1, hard to see your roster as individuals anymore.
@@Shalakor no casual nuzlocker does that
@@billy-the-butcher That kinda goes without saying. I was referencing a very specific factoid about the Pokemon Challenges content creator.
Given the ruleset he uses, some of the harder romhacks tend to come down to grinding against the RNG just to come out of battles with the Pokemon needed alive to pass future encounters. Kinda like the type of time investment related to a speedrunner grinding out difficult to execute skips to get better times.
@@Shalakor lol yeah. One of the harder Rom Hacks he finished a while ago, Emerald Kaizo, is so particular that he would reset a run like 10-15 minutes in purely based on what random encounters he got because the difficulty of that hack makes it matter SO much. His winning attempt at 151 he finally got Swellow on like the second route which only had a 1% chance of appearing, and it ended up hard carrying most of the run because of how broken Guts+Facade+Stab is
@@Shalakor you probably knew that already but I was just having flashbacks reading your comment haha
the emotion had me. now I wanna go watch this series, peebs Ily
Thanks for uploading this. Missed the stream but I loved this Nuzlocke series back in the day. I still remember stuff like how you'd say Lawlup and how tense I felt watching that final battle. Definitely one my favorite let's plays in general.
I think the reason you're coming up more is because of nostalgia and it being years since you started, I definitely look back fondly at your old videos especially your nuzlocke and when you guys did the hardcore series! Reminds me of when I was in high school.
Man, your editors are amazing. From SpaceHamster Geoph to Toasty, the music choices are 🤤
It's making me wish there was just a list of music and it's timestamps in every description, but you all work hard enough hahah
Just discovered this channel. I absolutely love your commentary and editing! Such a throwback because I watched the original Nuzlocke in 2014 it’s been awesome to rewatch it with your new commentary
Also I don’t know anything about Pokémon either so it was nice to not be part of the angry mob lmao
@@BigSillyGoose2000 And while I do know quite a lot about Pokémon, I know next to NOTHING about Nuzlockes, but I love watching Peebs, and I love playing Pokémon, 25 years after it first came out on TV, but I'm sure I wouldn't have been part of the angry mob, crapping on poor Peebo. He's just an average dude doing his best, who openly and honestly admits that he's a scrub when it comes to Pokémon, his words, not mine, because I think he's a great guy. It's ok to not know a lot about something, like Pokémon. I mean, there's nearly 800+ Pokémon, and the series has been going for nearly 30 years, so its not possible to keep up with it forever. But, you can try to, and you can still do a great job regardless of whether or not your Pokémon knowledge is either a little or a lot. Because Peebs maxed out his luck stats here. But I do genuinely feel the same way as Peebs does about his Pokémon. That 1. Never abandon any of them, no matter what, 2. That he genuinely loves each and every one of them, as do I, because that's just how you succeed at being a Pokémon master, you genuinely love and care about your Pokémon, and pretty much all Pokémon, even if you can't use all of them on your team. 3. He wants to win(I mean; who doesn't? He was going up against the Champion of the Hoenn region, Gen 3, Steven Stone), and Austin didn't come all this way to lose, but even if he had lost, at least you can say Austin still cared about each and every member of Team Peebs. Except maybe Elmo. But, like Peebs says, he cares, and wanted the series to be entertaining, which I bet it was. And even if he'd lost to Steven, he still gave it his all, and busted his butt to beat the Elite Four, and the Champion, all in one go. So, props to Peebs, for succeeding, and being the best youtuber ever! And for being the new Hoenn Region Champion, I guess? I mean, I just recently became the Sinnoh Champ in the Diamond remake, and it was great, but not as cool as Peebs being the Hoenn Champion!
This was so much fun to watch, and a great throwback to one of my favorite video series I have ever watched on your channel =)
i love the contrast between you two, you have such different energies it's so funny
Gosh the Nuzlocke, what great memories. Thanks for the walk down memory lane PBG.
PBG: mourning his dead pokemon.
Jaan: He’s got a Gyarados. He’ll be fine.
Their contrast is so funny
This Nuzlocke was my favorite thing to watch when I was in middle school. I was so into it, and it may sound corny but it really helped me pass time when I was in a rough spot😅 I still go back to it sometimes because I still love it so much
He'll never see this, but as someone who rewatches this series once every 6 months or so and watched it as it was coming out, he did not use the EXP share.
Maybe one day if I really have nothing to do at work I'll come back through and make an edit of every contradiction in this video from the original series.
Pokémon Faints
Nuzlocke: Your free trial of life has expired
I like that this guy isn’t being rude with his analysis. I was concerned this was going to be nothing but a video insulting PBG’s playthrough. Kudos to Jan for being chill.
This was so nostalgic. I still think about this nuzlocke really fondly, I remember how HYPE that finale was when it came out.
Super enjoyed this, reminded me why you were one of my favorite YTubers when I was 15.
Chad Peebs calling him by the right name vs Virgin Jaiden and Alpharad saying his name wrong.
Elmo: How is Geodude supposed to kill Elmo? Geodude is a rock! Geodude’s not alive!
*Magnitude 7 crit*
I think this is the second time someone reacts to Pokémon Challenges’ reaction of their own nuzlocke. RTgame did a reaction video to Pokémon Challenges’ reaction of his nuzlocke as well.
Jan is harsh but he's fair, and I think that sort of stability is great to have from time to time. It also makes great content with how drastically different you and Jan view gaming and making content even if you both are gamers and content creators. Jan is objective and logical, you are emotionally driven and theatrical. Good stuff all around.
Sham that Jan’s chat is an absolute cesspool sometimes. (Thinking of the “Cringe” spam during the reaction to Jaiden’s Platinum Nuzlocke).
oh man this was one of my all-time favorite RUclips series, I remember watching it as it came out originally. it was really fun watching you re-live it
Austin and Jan becoming the representations of Gold and Silver is crazy
I remember fondly looking forward to each episode of your nuzlocke as a high schooler, this type of nostalgia means everything to me as I struggle to understand adult life😅
it’s likely been suggested before, but since you both are on Twitch, collaborating for a Nuzlocke run would be fantastic. your approaches as performers (high energy with inexperience/dry and strategic) are a classic combination, there’s a very entertaining narrative to be found there. even better, to keep the pro on his toes and capitalize on your “chaotic” style, make it a randomizer.
I said as much on Jans video but it's no surprise how quick you were to learn and adapt. Even back in 2015, you had a lot of experience from your Hardcores that you were pretty good at adapting to situations
This is the five year anniversary of me watching your content. You have been my first and favorite RUclipsr ever
Your alpha sapphire series was actually what introduced me to the world of pokemon nuzlocks. And I have to say you set the bar so dang high, your nuzlock is still my alltime fav. I love your content, both old and new, and it's great that you're getting recognition for it.
I had literally just gotten over the death of Frank the birb and this video has to come along and trigger my horrible PTSD about that death. How could you do this to me, peeberton?
"Zubat is my actual favorite Pokemon."
Peebs you were always unfathomably based.
All the memories and treasures in one video, best Nuzlocke on RUclips by a longshot.
“It’s part of the reason I never did one again.”
*proceeds to ignore his multiple randomizer nuzlocke*
I remember watching the full Nuzlocke run back in the day, though I had forgotten how it all played out because it's been so long. The final battle still is just as amazing to watch now as it was back then, coming up clutch like that with just two Pokemon and barely any health left. To do it blindly as your first attempt at a Nuzlocke in general makes it all the more impressive. It's good that Jan enjoyed himself with it in the end as well, and gave some praise for how you grew through the series. I'd be terrified to watch if someone reviewed something I made like this, can only imagine how weird it must feel to see that pop up.
watching jan's reaction to this nuzlocke took me back, now watching your reaction to his reaction to your nuzlocke REAALLY took me back, i forgot how nice it was back then when i wasnt as overly analytical about my nuzlockes and played them like a storyline, i should try it again, less sweat more drama
“Dude, it’s 2014 PBGgameplay voice.”
Has the exact same voice. This man’s voice has not changed in the last 8 years…
Wow the YT algarithm is crazy.... haven't watched you for years, but followed this nuzlocke when it came out. Now I get this on my feed.
I also remember Jared getting completely wiped against that dragon bird or whatever
I want a Peebs/PokemonChallenges soullink Nuzlocke series now, the energy difference alone would make it goated
That photo of Jan is so frikin funny😆 from that angle it looks like his head is sinking into his body
Man, I remember watching some of this Nuzlocke a few years back. Good times
10:11 this part is so wholesome to me
the first encounter i ever had with your channel was when i was like 6 i think and i saw your putt putt videos while like on my mom's computer and it like made me think the series of games was called "peanut butter" or something and i kept asking my dad to download the game with "the car named peanut butter" for me and he couldn't find it and it made me angry
and then when i was like 8 i remember watching the charlie church mouse video like in my grandparents backyard but i don't think i knew i had seen your videos before at the time
i really love your videos my favorite ones are the arthur ones
"FRAAAAAAAANK"
"that's unfortunate"
Glad to see some Minecraft hardcore references, some of my all time favorite series
It’s been too long sing the world was graced with the presence with the mighty Zig-Zam!!
Love peebs energy, new and old
I yelled at my computer so many times while watching PBG's Nuzlocke series, but it is my favorite let's play series on RUclips.
I really want an animated of 36:06 with Jan dying while Peebs is all "Luck maxed out~"
2:29 was startled to see my name on the VOD! Thanks for giving us all a Peebception. 😀
It's awesome to hear you talk about your legacy lol your the first person who I really watched on youtube in 2014 and I'm glad all your years of hardwork keep you relevant 10 plus years later
man, zigzam's death still hurts to this day, R.I.P. zigzam
Aw man watched this on release from you, And then watched it on Challenges, I would love to see you do another one.
Omg I’m actually in the middle of rewatching this nuzlocke series! This is good timing lolol 🥰
I would pay so much money to watch Jan coach you through a Nuzlocke. The content would be literally god tier.
Great to see you revisit the old nuzlocke, I watched it when it came out when I was a kid so it definitely brings back memories. It was actually the first thing to actually introduce me to the concept of Nuzlockes.
I got really into it too, like I remember Zigzams death fucking destroyed me, I was actually upset.
I'm just waiting for Jan's "Reacting to PBG's Reaction to My Reaction of His Video" video, and when he gets to the "this isn't sponsored by Manscaped" Jan will be like "well you know which video IS sponsored by Manscaped? *segways to ad*"
