Ok, that final battle was really tense to watch! And it was one of the truest expressions of "You don’t get to be Champion of the Pokemon League without knowing how to spam Full Restores!" Congrats on winning!
I think there’s a magic in seeing someone play through a game or series that you have before. Their naivety, their genuine first-time reactions. It takes you back in time to your own experiences, and it really does help to make you fall in love with it all over again as you remember what it was that you liked about it in the first place.
It's amazing how big of a difference the older gens made with their "cool factor" fan service. Watching her get psyched about teaming up with Lance in a double battle is EXACTLY how the game developers wanted you to feel.
This absolutely blew my mind when I played Silver as a kid. I felt like I had won the lottery and my birthday all at once when I got to go to Kanto and do the badges there, too. Child me couldn't fathom so much content.
I used Chikortia in my Soul Silver Hardcore Nuzlocke. Lima Bean did amazing work with Dual Screens and Light Clay. But she died to Clair’s Kingdra getting a lucky crit. Long live Lima Bean! Keep up the excellent work, you avenged the fallen!
I'm a 26 year old man now and I still felt a pang in my heart at remembering how only in HG&SS can your Pokemon walk behind you. I am always a massive fan of the cool, creepy, alien, and eldritch horror Pokemon and those kind of elements worked into the story, but at the same time I will always just want to shower my Pokemon with love like my actual pets, be it a Haxorus, a Deoxys, a Starly, or a Pikachu. (Except for very specific Pokemon like Stunfisk, cause screw that useless fish 💀💀). Hell, there are Pokemon that are basically living objects like Metagross and Klingklang and super spooky Pokemon like Spiritomb and Gengar that I would treat probably no different than my old pet geckos
Honestly I really love how pure her reactions are and makes me wonder how I felt when first playing these games myself. Her team wasn't that bad actually and that final fight looked absolutely amazing and probably really stressful too. Its also really refreshing too see someone knew play these games and succeed rather than the know it alls who take it to a extreme level of strategy which isn't fun to watch this but this was incredible
Dude I cannot tell how much joy this series brings me. Watching her excitment makes me feel like a kid again. It's so pure. Thank you so much for the content, makes life a little more bright. Cheers to both of you 🤠
Nothing beats Heart and Soul. The music for elite four and that finish was incredible. I've had lance completely decimate my nuzlocke on a full party, so watching Tarny survive on her last mon was brilliant
That fight against Lance was scary It takes me back to when I played soulsilver It was the first Champion that I was pretty sure I was gonna lose, even with saves states
I did the same with my Geodude - Graveler - Golem in my Soul Silver Nuzlocke. He was the wall that never fell and helped me through so much that I managed to clear to Red without a single death.
That "I Know😅" at the end sent me. hahaha!!! "yoooo look at him, ho-ho" *catches it, realizes its name, then response with a tone of "who's this stranger"* 🤣😂 Great job Getting through it all. Kanto's not ready. you got this haha!
I usually watch this while doing something else, but I could NOT look away from that final battle. The editing was an exercise in perfect tension building. Loved it!
What an absolute cinema, I have a hard time with Lance on my run of HGSS years ago as well. its so nostalgic experiencing it all over again watching this. had me had the edge of my seat!
A delight to watch, you can't help falling in love with those lil pixels. I grew up in the Gen1 era where the cool(rich) kids would use a 2nd gameboy to self-trade to finish the dex and we all swam that one special coast to getx99 item glitches. As an adult I tried to dive back in and got absolutely bodied in Gen8 and spent an hour on the wiki trying to understand why typing was now a big deal and oh god, actual skill and strategy is now required. Looking forward to part 2: Dimple's Revenge?
Jumping around a bunch is a bit confusing. Amazing story telling, but it would be nice seeing things as they happen. Like seeing her use an Espeon, then shortly after she is using an Eevee again
These are so good. I accidentally stumbled over your channel when searching for a standalone sample of "And you thought Rivellon was flat" and can't stop watching. The kindness to each other, the joy in both your voices, the storytelling and the tiny things in editing like the change in background for the Ho-Oh fight really make every video worth watching. I am super happy that I found you bunch and keep recommending the channel to my friends!
I've played pokémon For more than half of my life (18) and did many nuzlocke and challenges but seeing someone playing for the first time made me more happy than dozens of them. It's such a good experience😊
I also loved that your pokemon walk with you in this gen; that being said your gf would probably enjoy pokemon amie (x/y) or camping in sword and shield, she also may enjoy the mounts and the ability to speak to your pokemon in Legends: Arceus
OMG The Champion battle got me in the edge of my seat It took me a few tries to beat Lance the first time I played, HG&SS were my first Pokémon games and my favorites glad your gf played this I can't wait to hear about her post game experience (And her new team RIP her old one)
this is great, and her happiness to seeing all the callbacks was so nostalgic and fun. i wish more games had direct sequels with the callbacks and even battles with old faces. my dream pokemon game would make them all interconnected and have the ability to get all the badges, battle all the old legends but realistically this will be the closest we ever get to that.
Tarny's pokemon playthroughs always have me at the edge of my seat! I'm always rooting for her, it kind of makes me want to boot up my old games again...
10:00 can I just say, who ever edited this and made that smooth transition between the black background and putting in the blue background, it was not unnoticed, and you are a fantastic editor 💖
By the end of this, I was just crying my heart out, I truly felt every loss and reminded me why I played Pokémon to begin with. Watching her experience, my favourite game for the first time was absolutely fantastic. 😭😭💖💖 Go you girl, you’ve got this
Such an amazing video, the pure excitement she has and the fact that she is truly invested in the experience in something that you’re showing her and something that you love much be such an amazing feeling. I hope one day my girlfriend will let me show her the games and I hope her reaction is half as good as hers.
Taryn loosing everyone but Dimple only to find out that was around half the game rather than all of it is pretty funny, can't wait to see how that ends up going.
Great video! What an incredible run this was, and for the next video she'll have to face the legendary trainer. Can't wait to see how she'll react to that!
She is so cute 😂 She's reacting just like me when I first played the original game when I was a little girl :) I wish I could be more like that nowadays...I kinda lost this kiddy excitement in adulthod 🙈 I'm so glad your girlfriend still has that 😊
"It's Ho-oh? I kept calling him Ho-ho."
She got the same experience we all did as a kid. I'm proud of her.
The Legendary snack cake
indeed, i dont think there was a single kid who grew up with gen 2 who DIDNT call ho-oh ho-ho
SAME
Speak for yourselves, I could Read.
@@matthewrowlett1564that's the bare minimum requirement to play a pokemon game though. outside of owning the required hardware but that's not exactly relevant here, just mentioning it before some smartass tries to comment it.
I can't believe she named the little psychic guy after Dimple instead of Mob. That's INCREDIBLY funny.
Mob is mewtwo
Imagine if that were a shiny espeon.
Wouldn't it have been a normal type at first
Cultured in the art of great anime
I'm curious how she knew it would/could become an espeon?
Her reactions to the Pokémon games are so pure that it makes me wish I could go back and re-experience moments like the encounter with Ho-Oh, or narrowly pulling a victory from the jaws of defeat against Lance.
lulz
Playing pokémon for the first time as a kid was a magical experience, and it looks like doing it later in life is too ^^
Nuzlockes can give a lot of those narrow victory moments lol and they're even more intense!
No wonder Lance was a pokemon champion, those crit hacks and full restores were OP.

No joke that final battle was the most tense thing I have seen in a while
“You don’t get to be champion of the Pokémon league without knowing how to spam full restores”
- Lance
Man, once she has played gen 3, Taryn should absolutely play Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. I bet she would enjoy it.
YES
Until she gets railed by RNG and has to slam her head against a wall for 3 hours.
@@TheUltimateShade667she’s a souls player, she’ll be fine.
PMD propaganda, instant like
@@sqwong3947 Yeah, but with souls it's your own fault. Mystery dungeon games can destroy you for no reason no matter how well you prepare.

The fact that, the last pokemon that she has to fight against is a Charizard again, is pretty funny to me
Honest truth that last battle truly felt like a true champion battle. Respect to Jeep and to all the other mons on that Elite 4 battle
please release a part 2 with kanto and mt silver, i want to see/hear her reaction to the gym leaders and the opponent at mt silver (no spoilers)
This absolutely blew my mind when I played Silver as a kid. I felt like I had won the lottery and my birthday all at once when I got to go to Kanto and do the badges there, too. Child me couldn't fathom so much content.
It’ll be a Red-stained loss for her
or a hard fought victory! we may never know @@zaneheaston8254
Face the legend himself.
The graveyard box being named "A Farm" is so funny lmao
I used Chikortia in my Soul Silver Hardcore Nuzlocke. Lima Bean did amazing work with Dual Screens and Light Clay. But she died to Clair’s Kingdra getting a lucky crit.

I did not come here expecting to be on the edge of my seat, but here we go! Thank you for saving us from heartbreak, Dimple.
That Destiny Bond was brutal

Man, i love how excited taryn gets when she's playing pokemon. Should have her give platinum a go eventually 😜
first comes gen 3 before they can go to the rest of gen 4 tho.

We need to see her panic during close calls.

that last battle was CRAZY! i remember feeling exactly like this when i was 10 doing this for the first time.
What a great video idea too.
Nothing beats Heart and Soul. The music for elite four and that finish was incredible. I've had lance completely decimate my nuzlocke on a full party, so watching Tarny survive on her last mon was brilliant

That fight against Lance was scary
It takes me back to when I played soulsilver
It was the first Champion that I was pretty sure I was gonna lose, even with saves states
I did the same with my Geodude - Graveler - Golem in my Soul Silver Nuzlocke. He was the wall that never fell and helped me through so much that I managed to clear to Red without a single death.
Awesome video, and you've paced it quite well that it stands out from the other types of videos like this. Can't wait to see more
Pour one out for Jeep. I'm sure even the Golems in Rock type Valhalla are scared to mess with him. Absolute unit.
That "I Know😅" at the end sent me. hahaha!!!
"yoooo look at him, ho-ho" *catches it, realizes its name, then response with a tone of "who's this stranger"* 🤣😂
Great job Getting through it all. Kanto's not ready. you got this haha!
I'm sobbing at that "I throw rocks at the birds" bit. Adorable.
I love these games! The little Pokémon following you around is fantastic.
Soul link when. Also how much did she end up sending to mom. Edit: I love the one piece live action quote
HOLY moly that final fight had me hanging onto the edge of my seat, fantastic job on winning that! Dimple's a hero.
That final battle was amazing. Can't wait for the Kanto revisit!
Dear god, I had no idea how good the music was in these older games. That charizard battle music slapped
Your story telling and her reactions make this content absolutely top tier please make more nuzlocke content! Loved the video, keep em coming!
Espeon is my favorite Eevee-lution and so the ending was super fun and satisfying! Great work; watching part two now!!💜
