      When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
      Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
      The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
      I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God!
      Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

      That's pretty much what makes High level pokemon battles impressive. Small Ant and Pchal are both very skilled players, so it was bound to be a solid challenge. This format though, is really placing these guys in the very heart, as Pchal mentioned with pointing out that he doesn't have to focus on defeating him outright, just get good early kills that weakens the party's capabilities for the Elite 4 and deliver the defeat in the Elite 4.

    Honestly the rare candy thing in nuzlocks is really smart. If anything it makes it harder, but less tedious. It’s less tedious because you don’t need to grind, and you can actually play the story, but at the same time you’re not getting any evs from battles, and your Pokémon will be slightly weaker

    • @JacklynBurn
      @JacklynBurn 8 месяцев назад +34

      My other thing would be that skipping grinding also removes the small chance that you get bored and slip up against a wild mon. It's probably supremely unlikely for someone like smant but if you get sloppy while no-brain grinding, it's entirely possible for the right wild mon to just snipe a death

      No, not always good faith. Some of us do genuinely hate the impact he has had on the nuzlocke community. I'm sure he's a decent person, I don't wish harm or anything on him, but if you loved nuzlockes before the culture he created then he really is a villian. Used to be that if you commented about optimal strategies and mons you should've thrown to the wolves, you'd be rather unanimously told to gtfo, this is about making a story. The rules are explicitly designed for you to get attached and play with your heart, you're ignoring the entire point of the fucking ruleset.

      Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
      *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
      As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
      Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

      When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
      Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
      The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
      I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God!
      Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

    I haven’t seen this video yet, but I think it’ll be interesting because the other guy could easily focus on different strategies. Either going full in and trying to beat him completely or actually just trying to get rid of certain Pokemon. This is such an interesting idea for a challenge.

      Jan knows full well how painful a snowball can be. If he identifies a necessary Pokemon, he'll go after that so that smant struggles later.
