Hello guys! One of the devs here for CKKPLUS. Thanks so much guys for watching! I can't wait for PChal to beat... or get destroyed by the trainers, and most especially by the AI I've managed to edit to be similar to Emerald Kaizo and fix bugs on switching so AI will switch more often than vanilla Crytal or Emerald Kaizo. I'm so grateful to be a part of this project hihi
@@iantaakalla8180 reborn is hard. But i actually think rejuvenation is much harder for nuzlocking specifically. Because two of those early gyms are insanely hard if you dont get a specific pokemon.
Shout out to the devs for improving the game to another level. Just to emphasize the work the devs did, during the stream, Jan revealed that because the original CK had issues with additional editing, they had to COMPLETELY recode CK before they could even do any of their own edits.
@@jaytroll188 i believe it won't be released until Jan hits a brick wall. Right now he's keeping the docs on lockdown to avoid spoilers and see how it is blind. Once he unlocks the docs, he'll probably release the game.
I remember when Jan said he couldn’t do good RUclips intros but now he has a smooth script all the way, even perfectly integrated sponsorships. Kudos to you 10/10
@@vanguardbreaker8826 Crobat, Kingdra, Blissey, Skarmory, could name a few more... Also, I think the gen 2 music, battle animations and sprites are really God damn underrated. A lot of them are really spot on here and butchered in later gens (Crobat for example)
I feel you on that Togetic. I lost in my locke in my first ever video to a Togepi that used Metrenome and got Hyper Beam in Fire Red with the Huge Power ability. The Togepi line can be super scary.
Wie ich immer darüber lachen muss, dass Jan mittlerweile wie so ein süchtiger Masochist zu den Programmierern rennt, um ihm ein noch schwereres Spiel zu machen. "Hat Jan dich heute auch angerufen?" "Er stand vor der Tür."
its so interesting to watch him play these harder versions of pkm games, his planning and just playing pkm is really interesting, and every run keeps me hooked
I love how Jan does ad integrations. it’s not some minute long thing where you just skip it, he still talks about important things like encounters in the video to keep your interest through the ad
@@t.o.d4868 You seem to not know what the right arrow key does. It only skips a few seconds. so just enough to skip the small bit of ad, though I guess sometimes you have to hit it twice or thrice. So you only skip at most a few seconds of the actual video per ad segment.
This is the equivalent of Saitama looking for a good fight after reaching peak strength. Jan had become the ultimate nuzlocker and was no longer satisfied so he took matters into his own hands
That Sprout Tower 'holiday advertisement', man, I love it. Great vid, great content. Also, thanks a lot in investing into creating Pokemon games that are actually challenging and fun to play. The 'Falkner has a legendary bird/overleveled mon as a first leader' to create a challenge is quite lame, so I am happy to see these type of games.
Jan has gotten so good at these sponsorships. Sometimes I just forget about it being their and I don't want to skip over it because it's integrated with content. Ingenious really.
Yeah, but what they probably want is to be able to _watch_ said reaction. Yknow, without having to search in a 30 hours long stream or not having the original video's sound.
He says he's "*probably* the best nuzlocker in the world" because he pushed the former best nuzlocker in the world off a cliff, and he's *probably* dead but you never know.
Crystal is without a doubt my favorite pokémon game so seeing a legit Kaizo version of it is awesome. Really cool how they gave you the cartridge for it, too
Really great video! Note to Jan's editors; I don't know if this is just personal taste, or if anyone else feels this way, but in my opinion displaying captions of the narration in rapid succession, one word at a time on a plain black screen (i.e. from 0:17 - 0:20 or 0:43 - 0:51) is distracting and almost a bit painful to watch. I'd personally rather just watch footage of the game instead of trying to struggle to read the words like they're being projected by a strobe light. I personally love captions but I'd rather just toggle the CC feature on RUclips to follow along line by line if I'm having trouble hearing the narration. Overall I think the editing quality of this channel is very good, and the editors' personal comedic touches over top of the raw footage are a really nice touch :)
Edited live commentary with live reactions and expressions to funny or big moments will always be superior to MST3K-style post commentary applied over a slim video.
Seeing the wake up Giga Drain threat on Kabuto when you have a 4x super effective rock slide right in front of your nose is why you’re the RUclipsr. In no world would I assume that Butterfree would wake up in that position. Talk about smart plays
Brilliant way to integrate an ad read with information pivotal to the story of the video. Paced so you can watch the video and still get information about the ad if you’re interested but you don’t feel like the ad was just another 1-minute skip ahead if you’re either already a customer or not interested. 👍
I can't understand how he's so skilled at Nuzlockes to begin with. I can't understand how he enjoys so much making it harder and harder on himself XD, at this point it feels like every video of Jan I'm just admiring a god
@@lakshaygandhi5509 Then I don't understand how he finds that determination XD, I failed around 15 Nuzlockes right at the start of easy games and am struggling to find my mistakes if not... I guess lack of game knowledge since I haven't played them in a few years
@Hhgh Fhhfh He just is very good at learning these things. I struggle a lot with strategy and reasoning activities so to me that always seems impossible. Ut again, just my perception
I think a very nice game for you to nuzlocke will be pokemon reborn. It is hard but not boring. The story and plot are very nice, the quantity of pokemon available is also a high point
Can you invent a new genre of nuzlocke called a one shot nuzlocke? If you don’t one shot on an attacking move, your Pokémon faints. Plus all the other nuzlocke moves
I honestly love the way you have started incorporating sponsors into you vids. I really prefer it over just straight up interrupting the vid for a sponsor
There needs to be a version of pokemon where stats do not change--instead, only evs are gained, and moves are unlocked as you progress. This would create a vastly different experience playing. Not better, not worse, just different. Could make for a very fun nuzlocke! Even removes the need for rare candies.
Just personal opinion: the flood of text changes in the beginning got annoying quickly. I think they are fun in certain situations, but it felt like it was way too much
I know there's other changes, but the fact that the first thing you specifically mentioned is that you have infinite rare candies and full restores is mildly amusing.
You should have a look at Radical Red Hardcore 3.0. I know you’ve done the original RR which to be honest is pretty easy, but HC mode is much more challenging. I’d say it’s on a similar level to Emerald Kaizo if you’re trying to Nuzlocke it.
Risk of Rain music at the beginning and I know I recognised a bunch of songs, maybe Carpenter Brut? Anyone have the music Pchal uses for his videos or a playlist or something?

Now. Sit there in misery and agony, and realize that what you did was wrong. Jk 🤣
It's like... Jan reached the peak of Nuzlockes, and then decided to build a completely different mountain just so he could climb a little higher.
You think mountain climbers only climb a single mountain?
@@grunkleg.2934 no, but who tf would build mt. everest 2?

Is this available for download or is it just a special copy for Jan? Cool either way just curious
I'm now convinced Jan's life is an any% speedrun on encountering the impossible hardcore nuzlocke

I love how Jan does ad integrations. it’s not some minute long thing where you just skip it, he still talks about important things like encounters in the video to keep your interest through the ad
I bet his sponsors love it, and it's a lot less in-your-face than the usual script
And even if you don't care about the ad, you get kinda curious on how he'll manage to link the next portion of ad to his explanation.
My mans really managed to find a way to have ppl not skip the sponsor by incorporating it into the actual vid xD
Respect +
That's what the right arrow key is for.
@@nicotrost8461 you'd miss a noticeable chunk of the video if you skipped the entire sponsor segment

As Dunsparce is one of my favorite Pokemon, I feel like this rom hack has catered well to me.
YES!
Gotta love you keeping this style of videos after the awesome Emerald Kaizo ones.
Hope to see more about this new challenge on YT in the future !
I'm wondering if these guys can do something similar for Blue Kaizo.
Blue Kaizo+? It's just a thought.
Definitely doable
Personally I want a Marvel/Pokémon game
Gen 1 is not good to Hardcore Nuzlocke
@@grunkleg.2934 True, you need a shitload of rng
I got a small update in mind
Be warned that blue Kaizo is a bit difficult to mod, and has it’s own goat tier already.

To all of the frogs who keep asking him to react to Alpharad, he already did on stream. He literally watched the video as soon as it was uploaded.
Yeah, but what they probably want is to be able to _watch_ said reaction.

came here to comment this. no one actually likes that annoying crap
Little thing I always dig is hearing the Risk of Rain music. MMM that shits gooooood.
Bro. These Nord VPN ads are so annoyingly brilliant
That natural integration of the sponsorship message was brilliant
Alpharad made a new nuzlock
That was the slickest ad read I’ve ever seen. Even the travel guide on Sprout Tower
Shoutout to the transistor music near the end, such a good game and studio
So happy with how this project turned out! Done up to lance! Kanto will come soon
Edited live commentary with live reactions and expressions to funny or big moments will always be superior to MST3K-style post commentary applied over a slim video.
cant wait to see the comments about alpharads new nuzlocke
Bro you worked the ad into the plot of the video so i couldn't skip it. You're a frekin genius.
That was quite possibly the most seamless nord vpn sponsorship I've ever seen. Pokemon Challenges knows how to write a strong script 👏👏 Great video!
Of all the things that happend in this video, i did not expect the transistor music.
Good choice jan
"I suck at RUclips outros," is a pretty good RUclips outro.
Jan: *Calls Vulpix useless.*
Me: ...And I took that personally!
That fucking sponsor was SMOOTH
New alpharad nuzlocke just dropped
I do love how you are working in the ad sponsor, it's so smoove mcgroove haha.
The reason crystal kaizo went over the cap was to make the AI pokemon have comparable stats to the player who has the badge star boosts.
I love the risk of rain music at the start of the video
Seeing the wake up Giga Drain threat on Kabuto when you have a 4x super effective rock slide right in front of your nose is why you’re the RUclipsr. In no world would I assume that Butterfree would wake up in that position. Talk about smart plays
Still waiting for the new Alpharad Nuzlocke reaction.
Can I just comment on how the ad reads are pretty clever, you cant skip them without skipping some video
Also Alpharad nailed it
I think you might be the first RUclipsr I've ever seen to spell "piqued" correctly, big ups.
I love that you've been using Furi OST in your videos
Looks like the true mistakes were those we made throughout the day.
