a suggestion to make your gen 5 runs more tougher is challenge mode. I think it's a really good idea since it also increases the level cap by quite a bit.
Yea I can see that. I like it personally (it's a good challenge) but for people just trying to play the game normally and possibly quickly I can see how it can get irritating.
While a Pokemon is registered into the Hall of Fame, custom backgrounds appear depending on it's typing. That is so neat, another reason to love the Gen 5 games
To add to that Zweilous sweep's amazingness; because it got Mummy from Cofagrigus, its ability Hustle was also cancelled out. The attack boost was already set up, so the loss of the Hustle boost was manageable, but the accuracy drop was also lost! So if you didn't get Mummy'd, you may have had to deal with Crunch missing at some point and losing Zweilous. But Mummy was used to your advantage! TWICE! Accidental brilliance is best brilliance
@@azzydreamurr5677 Well, considering Marshall specializes in Fighting types and Iris' Pokémon would each one-hit Zweilous, AND there's no way to get rid of Hustle the way he could with Mummy, it's no surprise Zweilous wouldn't see much use lol
PokeWalker, GBA Insertions, Dream Radar and DreamWorld should all be accesible Bc it doesn't involve trading with another game and it's a fun experience using new and different Pokémon
I totally agree, I saw a gen 5 steel-type run recently using a Bronzor from dream radar. It’s awesome to see runs using Pokémon that you don’t normally get access to and if it makes the run possible, that’s all the more reason to do it!
@@bongchoof Uh, a joke? The dude almost lost a mon on almost every gym battle. It might seem like a 'joke' because he's just actually REALLY good at nuzlocking. It wouldn't even have been possible without a yache berry, and as 'proficient' as I am playing since RBY knowing competitive mechanics doing a bunch of hardcore nuzlockes of my own I DEFINITELY would've lost at least five attempts. Actually scratch that, I would've NEVER gotten the Yache berry so I wouldn't have ever beat this probably. Dragon types are strong, he had some strong options, he also had to play really well to make sure he saved them until the end.
Yea. Personally I am a completionist and a very slow player cuz I like to do everything. But for players who just want to play the game it can get irritating. Though It does give you free items!
33:15- the funny thing is, u can go for dig b/c of levitate. That'll allow u to go for dig , and even on earthquake, flygon won't be affected by earthquake
Sawk: You cannot oneshot me for I have Sturdy! Haxorus: huh? Y'all hear sumthin? Something about a Strong Day? Luckily You've mistaken me for someone who Cares!
This video reminded me how much I think Serperior should be a dual grass/dragon type. Not just because it's my favourite starter line of all time, it genuinely fits.
@@nerddwarf I don't think it makes a huge difference if it's just Serperior that's a dragon type, and not the previous evolutions, and either way the grass type is horrible in gen 5, so it would balance it more.
@@luitjenapol2815 Dragons were always late game until the apple in Sword&Shit Dragons were always meant to directly counter the starters (and Pikachu) This got less serious with time, but this is the SOLE reason Charizard and Gyarados are not dragons. In Generation 5 there was 5 families with Dragon-typing that were not legendaries or Pseudo-legendaries (I'm in the belief that all mythicals are legandary, but not all legendaries are mythical) There were 11* in Gen 7 Kingdra Flygon Altaria Druddigon Haxorus Dragalge Tyrantrum Noivern Turtonator Drampa *Naganadel And 4 more in Sword&Shit Apple Vish Zolt Duraludon
@@nerddwarf I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but the dragon/grass typing isn't even very good. It has 6 weaknesses, including a quad weakness to ice, and fire still hits it for normal damage. It does have 3 quad resistances, in water, grass and electric, but grass already resisted those types before, so it doesn't make a huge difference. It's still not good against fire types, just not as bad, and most pokemon could have a move that hits it for super effective. It's not like you have to use serperior against fire types, you could just catch some other water type.
@Lazy Marine ( B O O 🎃) not only that, but they are very rare in most games, and they tend to need a lot of XP to level up, which can make runs without grinding very problematic
That's what I thought too, though it's kinda strange that a Pokemon can still remain airborne while underground, possibly a mechanical oversight from the developers?
I liked pokestar studios a lot in terms of how much post game content it provided. Like many other features of B2W2, it was a great part of the experience for me. That being said, being forced to save and participate was what I didn't like about it. I know that it's a part of roxie's story and I appreciate them going in depth with her dad, but at the same time we could have also just watched the production instead of making one ourselves. Very minor criticism, but overall I liked it outside of not being able to do nuzlockes or challenge runs without a dedicated save file to it, which was much more inconvenient back when other resources were not as accessible. My vote is that it's good though. Great vid!
When I got Black 2, I played the game normally until I reach the pokestar studio. After that, all I did was play the various pokestar movies. The game became "pokestar: the game" for me. After I finished those, I stopped playing the game altogether. I don't even remember if I enjoyed them.
Love that Flygon is in your top 3 fav...and that it made the thumbnail. Its my #1 fav all-time, which is why its Shiny version is inked the length of my left forearm
As someone who's made films and has worked in the industry, I was pleasantly surprised at how good Pokestar Studios was of a translation of the filmmaking process using Pokemon mechanics. Especially how bad RNG simulates all the bad takes during a scene. For a normal/completionist playthrough, I think it's fun. For a nuzlocke, it's a little annoying but the fact that making at least 1 movie gives you free lemonades makes it not too bad in my opinion.
This was one of the more unique nuzlocke challenges I've watched. Skyla's fight was insane, and the utilization of Join Avenue was genius - I never paid it any mind.
PokeStar Studios was just silly fun that I was all for. Though I have to imagine that missed attacks due to inaccuracy was... reminiscent of screw-ups in actual recordings in real life. Also testing what lines work right. It was fun and I genuinely did every part of it with my own team to get the fancy entrance for them.
I loved pokestar studios. I did so many of the movies as a kid, and really enjoyed it as a side game. I don’t think it should be mandatory to continue the game, but it’s inclusion is something else that made Unova/Gen 5 special for me, like the contests did in previous games. I’ve always been a fan of side quests and minigames, and the studio made the world seem more lived in. It was so funny that you could ruin a movie with a terrible one liner (I never did bc I felt bad about it, but it’s still funny). But yeah, definitely should not have been required to progress.
I remember spending hours completing every movie. Some of them where harder than the game itself. I remember one movie requires you to get a freeze. Meaning nine out of ten times you auto fail
@@kylesmith9573 I don’t remember that one specifically but yes, I remember doing two or three of the movies to the third sequel, then again with my own Pokémon
Im watching your True Power series that you uploaded and they are sooo good!!! I can't believe how underrated they are man we really appreciate all the hard work you've put into your channel. Hope you're well, Silph! :)
PokerStar Studios is one of the best mini games in a mainline Pokémon game (Imo). You're literally a movie star! Your character speaks, shows emotions, the first true instance of character customization since they wear a variety of different and unique outfits, it's not a braindead or strictly luck based feature, MULTIPLE EDDINGS FOR EACH MOVE INCLUDING SECRET ENDINGS, you can use any Pokémon and after they become movie stars they get special animations that have a similar feel as a shiny sparkle which makes the time put in feel tangible, the backgrounds are insanely detailed (Idk why they didn't give us backgrounds like this for the standard gameplay but im not complaining), the stories are fun and interesting, and it's just charming overall. I could go on but I think I made my point haha Also dope video as always Silph👌🏽
Was just wondering, can anyone post where you can find these 'fan made dreamworld servers' he mentioned in the video are, never got the chance to use it back in the day and I'm curious
If you're comfortable with being able to extract your save to the PC, there's a tool called BW_tool that can inject the mons to the save file. As far as I can tell there's no fan made servers.
Yeah, also wish he linked to it in the video description or something, would love to try these fan made servers out! if anyone else has recommendations (besides frago-roc, thank you!) that'd be great!
I've been watching your videos since a few days and I LOVE IT. I always put them while I'm cooking or cleaning the house (your videos are my new "cleaning the house" music, perhaps?) lot of support from Argentina!
These challenges are fun to watch. Definitely makes me want to consider trying one. Maybe I'll poke around with it when those remakes launch. Dragons made for an interesting challenge. All the more so just lasting until you could assemble an actual team.
I think pokéstar studios is kinda fun, I've definitely spent a lot of time on it. The intro isn't even that long, like I highly doubt people really are genuinely THAT bothered about having to use one force palm for a side quest.
Honestly, Frustration is a really terrible move. All you need to do to make a Pokemon like you is walk a lot in the lower friendship levels. And it's actively really difficult to make it lose friendship. (The best way I know off the top of my head is constantly lose battles to pokemon that are way stronger then you, but that's not a lot of friendship being taken off AND is not possible in a Nuzlocke)
Honestly, I feel like myself and most everyone else dislikes the forced tutorial of Pokéstar Studios with the studio itself being either neutral or fun for people (it's the latter for me, having my Emboar flex it's star status while wrecking everyone is such a power trip :D)
The first time I played W2 I wasn't a fan of PokeStar Studios, but going back to it and really exploring how much you can do with it I found it really fun.
I love Pokéstar Studios. It has so many unique gimmicks, and some nice cameos in Gym Leaders (AKA mainly Sabrina) and the nice art for the movies were amazing. I remember playing that all the time, I even got all endings on all movies so that is a fun, yet useless achievement.
From my memory, honestly I absolutely fell in love with Pokéstar Studios For someone who didn't and still barely knows about things like Hollywood and celebrities, it genuinely felt like my own story/adventure rather than the main one we all participate in 💕 The same feeling is with the contests in DPP and ORAS, especially ORAS 👀 Granted, I haven't played Pokémon BW2 in about a decade, with my thoughts being very foggy 😆
Frustration is such a wierd move since it's only viable during the first few levels after a pokemon is caught. It honestly falls into the constrict level of uselessness
You can use bitter healing items to reduce friendship to 0 and make it more effective, but it's legit easier to maintain friendship then deal with the hassle of keeping it low. So yeah Return just invalidates it.
Dragon hc nuzlockes are always so interesting to watch because it's so difficult to protect these weak early stage dragons until they can evolve and absolutely demolish everything
36:50 I feel like this death would have been totally avoidable if you had just gone for super effective, low health boosted revenge. But all in all, a great run that took way more strategy than I expected, I was just expecting you to OHKO everything and power through the game.
I believe if a Pokemon has the Flying Type or Levitate and uses Dig, Earthquake will still not harm it. Unless the opponent has Mold Breaker (for Levitate) which Krookidile does not.
At 25:55 it reminded me that when you beat the game and return there, the couple has split up. I read somewhere that the first letter of the names of the NPC's of the mission the guy gives you make an acronym which spells out JILT which means to break up, sad.
Im glad you were able to adapt and put your channel in a different direction which was this kind of content! Kudos and keep up the awesome videos please!
Frustration is kinda weird in my opinion because pokemon all start at 70 friendship so at base it has 74 base power, which isnt bad but it means the only way to use it to it's full potential is to use buneary who has a base 0 friendship or to feed it bitter herbs till it hates you
Fun fact! The blackglasses dude in the desert telling you you're the second person to talk to him out there is referencing the first games, where the same guy is in the same spot and does exactly the same thing, blackglasses and all, telling Hilda/Hilbert that they're the first person to talk to him. The more you know!
PokeStar Studios is actually a really neat idea which I do not hate. But on the other hand, I never went through with it beyond the initial battle that is mandatory, so... yeah I don't love it that much either. Great video as always Silph! Makes me want to play BW2 again, haha.
My man actually used Join Avenue. I can't believe you've done this. And having Flygon as one of your absolute favorite Pokemon means you are also a man of culture.
OH MY GOD YOU GOT TO USE ZWEILOUS!!! Zweilous is one of my favourite pokemon, but Heidreigon is one of my least favourite. SO COOL to see someone end up using a middle evolution!
A lot of people have never even seen those optional things it's amazing to see them showcased. The first time I got any event or thing that required the internet was my speed boost torchic and shiny beldum in alpha sapphire, and they'll always be so beyond special to me. I never had access to the Dream World back in the day and that was really cool to see. I also love Druddigon! Disagree with your ability assessment, although for your purposes in game I'll give it to you. Druddigon has 3 incredible abilities imo
11:54 Maybe a bit late, but fun fact: the guy in the desert that gives you the glasses has been cheating on you with... Yourself! In Black/White, same dude gives same glasses, and says you're the first person to ever talk to him !
Should take a look at Kalos for a Dragon run. Trading in a lvl 5 Dragon from another game as your starter would be fine imo. Just like with other games you can always box it once the first mon of the run is caught which will be before the 2nd gym. Kalos also has a good variety of Dragons spread throughout it and 2 gyms that are counters to the type.
In Gen 3 Flygon Is immune to earthquake while underground during dig because of the levitate ability, idk if it works that way in other generations but worth checking out!
33:15 you could have used Dig with Flygon, because earthquake wouldn't hit it, because its ability is levitate. And if a flying type or Levitate Pokemon is underground, earthquake will not affect it, unless: - Earthquake user has Moldbreaker or similar ability - the effect of the Move Gravity is still in active - the levitate ability / flying type was negated - your dig Pokemon is holding the Item Iron Ball
I’m actually surprised you didn’t mention how the Driftveil Bridge being nicknamed “Charizard Bridge” is tied into the story by the original Nuzlocke creator
In addition to monotype runs what about theme runs. Like shell Pokemon, certain gen Pokemon, Pokemon based on myths/legends, animal Pokemon, or do a trashlock. Really enjoy your videos and commentary.
Pokestar studios can actually be super helpful early game if you have the patience for it, bc you get mid-late game healing items from your 'fans'. If you complete all of the available movies successfully once before moving on, you'll have usually about 80 moomoo milks and 150 lemonades.

a suggestion please do a fire type only run of pokemon pearl it would be pretty difficult
You should try and do a Fairy type hardcore nuzlocke
I don't hate it , i play on emulator and can't get past it
I feel I'd like the PokerStars studios more if I wasn't forced to do it
Me too
I think it's cringe no matter what.
Yea I can see that. I like it personally (it's a good challenge) but for people just trying to play the game normally and possibly quickly I can see how it can get irritating.
This!
Frankly i loved it, once i unlocked it i completed every movie before proceding with the main story.
While a Pokemon is registered into the Hall of Fame, custom backgrounds appear depending on it's typing. That is so neat, another reason to love the Gen 5 games
Yeah, i really like it!
"Named my snivy "Mayweather" because hes gonna be boxed."
I paused the video just to take time and stop my laughter from the unexpected pun.
To add to that Zweilous sweep's amazingness; because it got Mummy from Cofagrigus, its ability Hustle was also cancelled out.

Tbf zweilous was kind of useless during the champion battle and the final fighting elite 4 member.
@@azzydreamurr5677 Well, considering Marshall specializes in Fighting types and Iris' Pokémon would each one-hit Zweilous, AND there's no way to get rid of Hustle the way he could with Mummy, it's no surprise Zweilous wouldn't see much use lol

the only way he could have use it is as a sack.
PokeWalker, GBA Insertions, Dream Radar and DreamWorld should all be accesible Bc it doesn't involve trading with another game and it's a fun experience using new and different Pokémon
I think that if it allows a run to be done, yeah. But all the add ons can be tricky to aquire.

It can also end up making runs very easy which isn't particularly exciting to watch. I knew this run was going to be a joke and it was.
lmao robert its a youtube video, take a chill pill
@@bongchoof Uh, a joke? The dude almost lost a mon on almost every gym battle. It might seem like a 'joke' because he's just actually REALLY good at nuzlocking.

33:14 "I can't go for dig because it has earthquake." Actually you can, Flygon's levitate makes it immune to earthquake even while underground lol.
Thats so crazy, thats the kinda stuff you'd see in that one pokemon online game thatd make noobs salty
I’d like Pokestar Studios a lot more if there wasn’t a mandatory detour. That hurts replay value a bit.
Yea. Personally I am a completionist and a very slow player cuz I like to do everything. But for players who just want to play the game it can get irritating. Though It does give you free items!

Haxorus one shotting Sawk because Mold breaker doesn't care about Sturdy was SICK!

Well, it is a Grass/Dragon in some hack roms, such as Volt White and Blaze Black, which r kinda cool actually.
Dragons resist all 3 starter types (and electric)
It messes with the casual balance

@Lazy Marine ( B O O 🎃) not only that, but they are very rare in most games, and they tend to need a lot of XP to level up, which can make runs without grinding very problematic
Kalos is definetely possible

Lanayru had the Levitate ability, so even underground Earthquake wouldn't have hit.

What a funny game design choice that there's pokemon that evolve at a higher level than that region's champion's team.

I actually really like PokeStar studios. I felt like it was an interesting side gimmick, and a nice take on this gen's version of contests.

you should have done the chad move and transferred in a lv5 giratina from dream radar.
The chad move would be having the giratina egg from the hgss event.
i think the actual fair chad move would be somehow managing to have a kingdra, since horsea is available in BW2 but kingdra is a trade only pokemon.
There are two opinions about PokeStar Studios.
1- Those who hate it
2- Those who are wrong
Always here for the nuzlocke challenges, they are so exciting and entertaining

Great run! Flygon is one of my favourites as well.
I like the addition of pokestar studios. At least you’re only forced into doing it once. which makes sense since it’s a new feature.
I’d rather not be forced into anything new. It makes the side content more likable.

Honestly, I feel like myself and most everyone else dislikes the forced tutorial of Pokéstar Studios with the studio itself being either neutral or fun for people (it's the latter for me, having my Emboar flex it's star status while wrecking everyone is such a power trip :D)
The first time I played W2 I wasn't a fan of PokeStar Studios, but going back to it and really exploring how much you can do with it I found it really fun.
I love Pokéstar Studios. It has so many unique gimmicks, and some nice cameos in Gym Leaders (AKA mainly Sabrina) and the nice art for the movies were amazing.
I remember playing that all the time, I even got all endings on all movies so that is a fun, yet useless achievement.
33:13 Wait, but you CAN Dig, because your Flygon has Levitate. Weird, if you think about it, but it works!
From my memory, honestly I absolutely fell in love with Pokéstar Studios
For someone who didn't and still barely knows about things like Hollywood and celebrities, it genuinely felt like my own story/adventure rather than the main one we all participate in 💕
The same feeling is with the contests in DPP and ORAS, especially ORAS 👀
Granted, I haven't played Pokémon BW2 in about a decade, with my thoughts being very foggy 😆
Pokestar studios can literally stretch me
Frustration is such a wierd move since it's only viable during the first few levels after a pokemon is caught. It honestly falls into the constrict level of uselessness
You can use bitter healing items to reduce friendship to 0 and make it more effective, but it's legit easier to maintain friendship then deal with the hassle of keeping it low. So yeah Return just invalidates it.
33:14 You can go for Dig, you have levitate
Ever thought about running through this game on challenge mode? That would be insane.
Using Mummy to cancel out Drifblim's Aftermath after triggering it from Shauntal's Cofagrigus was big brain
Pokestar studios is the one reason why this game isn't as well liked as emerald or platinum, it makes repeated plays of the game much slower.
Exactly. Such a drag
Does this game have the same exp system as black 1 and white 1?
@@aaronbold8715 yes
@@bradenhenderson8817 That’s the real reason these games aren’t as replayed as others.
@@aaronbold8715I agree, without the lucky egg, grinding is a major pain
Dragon hc nuzlockes are always so interesting to watch because it's so difficult to protect these weak early stage dragons until they can evolve and absolutely demolish everything
Some of the baby Dragons are OP AF though, Dragon Rage is a broken move early game.
@@devilrider39000000dragon rage is huge until 3rd or 4th gym, from 3rd to 7th gym could be hard I think
Funny thing : Lakitu's name looks like Lack-Two which is the name of the manga counterpart of Nate
I was thinking that too and I don't even like pokespecial haha, plus he's *playing* Black 2 to make it even better
Hearing Silph give some respect to my favorite Pokemon Vibrava gives me a little extra joy for today
PokerStars studios was ok but the part where you're required to go and walk through all of it is my least favorite part of the whole game
36:50 I feel like this death would have been totally avoidable if you had just gone for super effective, low health boosted revenge. But all in all, a great run that took way more strategy than I expected, I was just expecting you to OHKO everything and power through the game.
I believe if a Pokemon has the Flying Type or Levitate and uses Dig, Earthquake will still not harm it. Unless the opponent has Mold Breaker (for Levitate) which Krookidile does not.
I'm really glad that you used my favorite Pokemon, Druddigon! I'm so glad it got some love
It's so cool how you used all the different mechanics Black2 had to offer. Man, I need to play this game for real. It looks really good
At 25:55 it reminded me that when you beat the game and return there, the couple has split up. I read somewhere that the first letter of the names of the NPC's of the mission the guy gives you make an acronym which spells out JILT which means to break up, sad.
Great use of all the games' mechanics Silph. You have almost done 1 of every Pokemon type in Hardcore mode and now Dragon is checked off.
Im glad you were able to adapt and put your channel in a different direction which was this kind of content! Kudos and keep up the awesome videos please!
“Mayweather cuz he’s gonna get boxed” fully anticipated him to dodge it
isnt there that horde bagon you can get in the alola games? and a level 10 salamence?
33:20
You have levitate so you won’t take damage
How did you access the dream world druddigon? I can't seem to find anything online about the fan servers you mentioned
"Uh, dude... I think I may have kissed your grandmother."
Killed me.
Frustration is kinda weird in my opinion because pokemon all start at 70 friendship so at base it has 74 base power, which isnt bad but it means the only way to use it to it's full potential is to use buneary who has a base 0 friendship or to feed it bitter herbs till it hates you
The "COME HERE YOU LIL S**T" always gets me lmao
Fun fact! The blackglasses dude in the desert telling you you're the second person to talk to him out there is referencing the first games, where the same guy is in the same spot and does exactly the same thing, blackglasses and all, telling Hilda/Hilbert that they're the first person to talk to him. The more you know!
I really appreciate the dream radar usage. Really clever and I respect it
“Awesome job kid” somehow made me feel happy
PokeStar Studios is actually a really neat idea which I do not hate.
But on the other hand, I never went through with it beyond the initial battle that is mandatory, so... yeah I don't love it that much either.
Great video as always Silph! Makes me want to play BW2 again, haha.
My man actually used Join Avenue. I can't believe you've done this. And having Flygon as one of your absolute favorite Pokemon means you are also a man of culture.
Girl on drugs in nimbasa: “ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND… GOT PLACES TO GO.. GOTTA FOLLOW MY RAINBOW!!!!”
Love your stuff Silph! best part of my Sunday’s!
20:18 Thunder punch isn't four times super effective, since Swanna used roost it looses its flying typing for the battle.
Roost only loses flying type for the very next turn. After that, they regain the typing.
I didnt like PokerStars studio when the games first released but upon returning to the games later u really enjoyed the extra content.
Pokestar studios can burn in the eternal flames.
fun fact, eq doesnt hurt flygon when he digs since flygon has levitate
OH MY GOD YOU GOT TO USE ZWEILOUS!!! Zweilous is one of my favourite pokemon, but Heidreigon is one of my least favourite. SO COOL to see someone end up using a middle evolution!
A lot of people have never even seen those optional things it's amazing to see them showcased. The first time I got any event or thing that required the internet was my speed boost torchic and shiny beldum in alpha sapphire, and they'll always be so beyond special to me. I never had access to the Dream World back in the day and that was really cool to see. I also love Druddigon! Disagree with your ability assessment, although for your purposes in game I'll give it to you. Druddigon has 3 incredible abilities imo
11:54
Maybe a bit late, but fun fact: the guy in the desert that gives you the glasses has been cheating on you with... Yourself! In Black/White, same dude gives same glasses, and says you're the first person to ever talk to him !
“CMERE YOU LIL SH**!” I love it
OMG WHEN EXCADRILL MISSES THE ROCK SLIDE!
I never had much of an issue with PokeStar, but it immediately forces you to go through it LOL
I'll always resent it! XD
22:07 doing a Black 2 gift only run and ran into this exact battle as I was watching this moment in the video
Should take a look at Kalos for a Dragon run. Trading in a lvl 5 Dragon from another game as your starter would be fine imo. Just like with other games you can always box it once the first mon of the run is caught which will be before the 2nd gym. Kalos also has a good variety of Dragons spread throughout it and 2 gyms that are counters to the type.
In Gen 3 Flygon Is immune to earthquake while underground during dig because of the levitate ability, idk if it works that way in other generations but worth checking out!
33:15 you could have used Dig with Flygon, because earthquake wouldn't hit it, because its ability is levitate. And if a flying type or Levitate Pokemon is underground, earthquake will not affect it, unless:
- Earthquake user has Moldbreaker or similar ability
- the effect of the Move Gravity is still in active
- the levitate ability / flying type was negated
- your dig Pokemon is holding the Item Iron Ball
I’m actually surprised you didn’t mention how the Driftveil Bridge being nicknamed “Charizard Bridge” is tied into the story by the original Nuzlocke creator
17:20 metal claw can also miss lol
In addition to monotype runs what about theme runs. Like shell Pokemon, certain gen Pokemon, Pokemon based on myths/legends, animal Pokemon, or do a trashlock.
Really enjoy your videos and commentary.
Pokestar studios can actually be super helpful early game if you have the patience for it, bc you get mid-late game healing items from your 'fans'. If you complete all of the available movies successfully once before moving on, you'll have usually about 80 moomoo milks and 150 lemonades.
