This format looks great. If you can find a medium between this and the ones you stream you might just have the perfect format overall. One that I hope can be extended to the franchise Nuzlocke once you decide to resume it. (Honestly my main suggestion is to do one Alola run, a couple other runs, then the next Alola run. Interspersing softens the burnout.)
A little tip for anybody doing a nuzlock in gen 3 and onwards, once you have access to vending machines you basically don't need any other healing items for a great majority of the rest of the game. Fresh water is basically a super potion that you can get 3 of for the same cost. In rse there is the soda hut below slateport on the beach that you can get soda pops for (again) less than a super potion but again it cotsts less than it. This is useful for saving money for other important things that need it.
@@MasterCrawford343 it is I banned gyarados as well so I use different encounters and made my own rules for it so it’s not a traditional one but still hard
Kirlia also learns Calm Mind at 21, so it would've learned it regardless of evolving or not. But sometimes we just wanna hang onto the little ones for just a little while longer.
The concept of a solo type nuzlocke that is weak to the specific game's antagonist I think kept things pretty interesting despite Alakazam and Gardevoir being so op. Another great one. Loved the recent gen 2 run as well
I’m just gonna be the one to say this, but I don’t think he ever intends to finish his Franchise Locke. Don’t get me wrong, for anyone that enjoys his content I fully encourage you to keep watching and supporting the channel, cuz he has released some good content and only stand to get better with support, however this guy at least to me wasn’t known until the Franchise Locke began. If you even search up his stats, his channel boosted in popularity around last September, around the time he released the first franchise locke video. That there is no coincidence. However it’s likely a tactic, as he’s probably afraid he’ll lose viewers and subscribers if he finishes the franchise locke. It’s smart honestly, as this alone has kept me subscribed anticipating the next franchise Locke video, but it’s time to draw a line. I will say that him thinking he could nuzlocke all the games by the release of scarlet and violet, let alone the end of 2022 was a pipe dream, especially when balancing it with whatever commitments are going on in his outside life, but at this point it’s been months since the last release. Burnout is a real thing, and it is important to take care of oneself, but in the real world it’s no excuse to bag on your commitments fully because of burnout. I’m sure I’m not the only who who has thought this.
One of the very few times I’m gonna comment about an ad, but for a split second I thought Deathknight said “Hello, Meatballs” and I thought this was a case of “every copy of Raid Shadow Legends ad is personalized”
So quick info for ya meatball that I actually learned myself from other poketubers: apparently Roxanne's nose pass will stop going for rock tomb if your stats have been lowered enough that it outspeeds. It's a weird gen 3 AI tying that happens in a lot of important boss/trainer battles
Personally, I prefer this editing format, it's cleaner in my opinion. Finding a way to balance this style with the ones that are streamed would probably provide great results.
Hey Meatball. I have a suggetion in regards to you Nuzlocke challenges: Single-type challenge. Basicly you can only use pokemon that only have 1 type unlike mono-type challenges where you can have the challenge type + another. "What about pokemon that gets another type upon evolution?": I would say they are a no-go but that would be up the player to decide that. I think this challenge would still be as hard/easy as other nuzlockes. I am planning on suggesting this exact same thing to other Nuzlockers
This man teased us by saying at the end of one of this videos he said he was going to continue next video and that's been several months and videos ago
He probably won’t finish. His channel boosted in popularity through doing the franchiselocke, and it may be a tactic he’s doing purposefully out of fear he’ll lose subs if he finishes it. What I don’t get is he was burning out on Pokémon nuzlockes but continues to post nuzlockes?
Just a little advice, you may be able to correct how your in-video sprite looks like (the outline has what I'd assumed are unwanted artifacts) by using an eraser at the pixel level and editing it on a transparent background. Because the editing on this video was of such a quality and fluidity I wanted to help pointing out any potential flaw, since you're on such a pro level!
Hey Meatball, here's something that might make for good content; Fuselocke. Pokemon Infinite Fusion. Catch the first two pokemon each route and you must fuse them, that is your valid encounter. No species clause because you can actually fuse 2 of the same pokemon together and get a result. NGL the two best Pokemon fangames are Infinite Fusion and Unbound.
The nosepass thing is because the AI sees rock tomb as a speed control move so after it's faster than you, it won't use it anymore. In other words: AI be broken yo!
Do I miss something, or was the beginning a complete punt? You catch Ralts which has no attacking move, so you have to use Struggle. But why do you use all your Growl PP on any other Pokeman than Ralts? Would have saved the healing, especially cause you level up on it anyways after depleting your Growl PP
Pretty sure you shot yourself in the foot at the beginning. Kirlia learns magical leaf upon evolving and calm mind at “lvl 21 too. Mightve allowed some flexibility with shock wave. Great video! Look forward to watching some more
Are chimeco and meditite in the same zone and ChaosM get lucky/unlucky to find chimeco first? And with Starmie maybe he just forgot it was part psychic because staryu is a pure water pokemon
So, let's take a moment to understand the Gen 3 AI and why the second attempt at Nosepass didn't use Rock Tomb. See, Gen 3 AI has this weird quirk where if it has a stat altering move and your Pokemon has a higher stat than their Pokemon does, they will always use the stat altering move. So if your Pokemon has a higher speed than Roxanne's Nosepass, it will always use Rock Tomb. But once Nosepass outspeeds your Pokemon, it'll use it's moves randomly (with the exception that it won't try to set up Block twice).
Although you haven’t done a nuzlock of Pokémon who can learn x type moves but aren’t that type ie Pokémon who can learn fire moves but aren’t fire type using only fire moves.
How did you end up getting Kadabra to evolve? (Might be a dumb question but just curious as to see if there’s any restrictions on trading on these type of runs)
Hey, so I have been trying to beat USUM, but after 5 attempts I mostly wiped at the Water Trial. Anyone got some ideas for some counters to that spooder ? Encounters, that may be worth to reset for ? Edit: I have a levelcap, no items in battle and no Z-Moves (I am considering to allow Z-Moves for trials only, if I cant come up with a strategy though)
23:54 ish. If you want my level method, uh I usually do something along the lines of Lvl 5->7->9->12->16 and from there try to keep going up in increments of 4 levels up until my mons hit level 50 and then go to increments of 5, rotating my mons every time they get to my self imposed level cap. Because evenly dividing numbers is based. Sure it'd get in the way of level caps, but sometimes you need something to aim for to stop yourself from steamrolling with one mon when not using gym leader level caps.
Good video, love the format, but do people still unironically take Raid: Shadow Legends sponsorships still? It's a well-known fact that the game is a typical loot-box gambling scam.
Idk why people think I'm not doing it anymore, I just don't enjoy Alola. Once I get through the boredom of playing it and have an entertaining video I'll post it.
@@ChaoticMeatballTV probably because you keep telling us when it will come out, and then letting that go by without acknowledging it. You've done it several times now. It feels like you're just saying it will come so people stick around waiting for it.

Just finished and posted this exact challenge on my own channel a few days ago. Congrats, this one is a doozy.

Interspersing softens the burnout.)
The reason Roxanne's nosepass didn't go for rock Tomb (7:10), is that emerald Ai only goes for a move that drops your speed, if it doesnt outspeed you
A little tip for anybody doing a nuzlock in gen 3 and onwards, once you have access to vending machines you basically don't need any other healing items for a great majority of the rest of the game.

I’ve been using this in my USUM nuzlocke genuinely a lifesaver
@@roguerocket99 SM and USUM locks are brutal, good luck
@@MasterCrawford343 it is I banned gyarados as well so I use different encounters and made my own rules for it so it’s not a traditional one but still hard
I'm glad you pivoted to other runs when the franchise Locke grind was leading to burnout. These are some great vids.
Kirlia also learns Calm Mind at 21, so it would've learned it regardless of evolving or not. But sometimes we just wanna hang onto the little ones for just a little while longer.
The way that whole Synchronize play may have been a little lucky, but it was pretty damn cool.
The concept of a solo type nuzlocke that is weak to the specific game's antagonist I think kept things pretty interesting despite Alakazam and Gardevoir being so op. Another great one. Loved the recent gen 2 run as well
25:56 Ground uh doesn't resist fire, Claydol is just a massive tank. It was taking neutral damage from Flamethrower
I have to ask, did you forget Staryu was possible, or did you know and not want to use it/hunt for a water stone?
Gotta love the Gardevoir line they super loyal & very strong
I just posted this run on my channel a few days ago! Congrats on getting past all the mandatory dark types lol
IO much prefer this style of video/presentation as opposed to the last couple
Are you ever going to finish your hardcore nozlock of all main line games?
I’m just gonna be the one to say this, but I don’t think he ever intends to finish his Franchise Locke.

I loved the guitar clip in the sponsor "did someone say Megadeth?" XDDD
Chaotic amazing work I have been watching you for 2 years please make scarlet and violet professor oak challenge please I really love your vids ❤
4:48 ohhh SHI 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Simply put:
Calm Mind
36:50 seeing all the open LGP/E monotype nuzlockes is hilarious 😂. Someone needs to destroy it with a fairy typing
One of the very few times I’m gonna comment about an ad, but for a split second I thought Deathknight said “Hello, Meatballs” and I thought this was a case of “every copy of Raid Shadow Legends ad is personalized”
I feel happy for Gardevoir being the MVP of this run. He deserved it.
Great challenge, I love how you solve problems=3

That raid ad was fire bro, love the creativity.
The luck you had that none of the Mons in that Maxie Tabitha double battle decided to attack you. Especially the Mighteyena's
in the roxanne fight i think it chose those moves because the ai cheats and knows if a move will hit before it picks it

Those of us who remember the FRLG legendary speedruns are very familiar with the click calm mind and sweep strategy
This was a great video! you are so great at nuzlockes. May I ask, what happened to the generationlocke? Are you ever gonna continue that?
This man teased us by saying at the end of one of this videos he said he was going to continue next video and that's been several months and videos ago

Raid Shadow Legends started as a meme but they embraced it the best possible way. Great ad
Read this as only psychic type moves and was really excited to see how you handled that
The nosepass thing is because the AI sees rock tomb as a speed control move so after it's faster than you, it won't use it anymore. In other words: AI be broken yo!
I didn't have a way to hit dark types for super effective damage. Medicham sitting in the corner being fighting/psychic going "is this guy an idiot?"
Medicham isn’t obtainable in emerald. The only thing he missed was Starmie.
Do I miss something, or was the beginning a complete punt? You catch Ralts which has no attacking move, so you have to use Struggle. But why do you use all your Growl PP on any other Pokeman than Ralts? Would have saved the healing, especially cause you level up on it anyways after depleting your Growl PP
Awesome video
Always enjoy your videos
Wait.... I didn't realize Holy Wars was part of the gen 3 soundtrack! Megadeth Knight is a great hero
Will D/P only dragon type nuzlock?
Quick comment for the E4-if you get a setup baton passer with substitute, the first turn of the AI (i.e sand attack) will be avoided
I’ve always said Barry’s last fight should have a level cap, his team is a monster to deal with
I haven't watched this yet but I already know Medicham is gonna be the MVP. It's too OP in this gen
As he watched he figured out there was indeed no medicham
He didn't even get it,and i am shocked
@@nunocarvalho6671Not available in Emerald
"Did you expect me to say something else." I mean life was what I expected. Hp is good enough.
I tried this with only bug types. I learned that struggle does in fact affect Shedninja
Pretty sure you shot yourself in the foot at the beginning. Kirlia learns magical leaf upon evolving and calm mind at “lvl 21 too. Mightve allowed some flexibility with shock wave. Great video! Look forward to watching some more
Kirlia doesn’t learn magical leaf by level up in RSE. It can get Magical Leaf in FRLG
With non-random AI, Wobbuffett is one of the greatest 'mons ever.
Ah yes, my favorite Pokemon game, "Nintendo Pokémon Versione Smeraldo". Thanks RUclips.
Why didn't you use Medicham or Starmie? Both seem like highly baffling omissions, especially since Medicham is one of your few Physical options.
Not sure about Starmie but I don't think you can get Medicham's previous form (can't spell its name) in Emerald at all...
Are chimeco and meditite in the same zone and ChaosM get lucky/unlucky to find chimeco first?
And with Starmie maybe he just forgot it was part psychic because staryu is a pure water pokemon
Its esmerald, doesnt exist medichan or lunatone
@@ruibarros9292 I thought Medicham was available in Victory Road, though?
@@moblinmajorgeneral No, Meditite and Medicham are Ruby/Sapphire exclusive.
From your ad section, we have the same floor tiles
Thanks for being true to the challenge but honestly would kill me to struggle passed poochyenas.
i enjoy the style of this video
Are you ever going to finish the whole series nuzlock?
6:07 is what your looking for
a 3 minute raids ad is insane
MVP? In a psychic run?
It's Kadabra. It's ALWAYS Kadabra. The Abra line is perhaps THE most born lucky line in the franchise. They're just never bad.
Only if the enemy is bad. It's god wet paper defenses, and is easily one-shot by anything that can survive its attack.
Pokemon platinum challenge w/only Darkrai. name urself Tobias, the anime trainer who used only this pokemon to win the 8 gym badges
(36:48) actually silph did this run a while ago I'm pretty sure. I may be wrong
Nope, that was in Ruby. It's recorded on that spreadsheet I showed.
@@ChaoticMeatballTV oh 🤦🏽something told me I was wrong

Although you haven’t done a nuzlock of Pokémon who can learn x type moves but aren’t that type ie Pokémon who can learn fire moves but aren’t fire type using only fire moves.
I'm a much bigger fan of this format for sure.
*haven't seen the video yet*
I know that's wasn't what you were going for but the Thumbnail kinda looks like: "See? Gardevoir has armpits!"
Hey is it possible to do a Pokemon Colosseum (or XD) run with only Solrock and Lunatone?
How did you end up getting Kadabra to evolve? (Might be a dumb question but just curious as to see if there’s any restrictions on trading on these type of runs)
I dont think nosepass would use rock tomb on your second try because it was already faster, making its move choices random

GHOST TRICK REFERENCED!!!!!
Did you forget about starmie after you get the super rod?
when you want maxx "c" banned
but you live in OCG region
Would you have considered using starme in this game?
Surprised you didn't go starmie
10:42 - 11:25 How lucky can be in a fight, even you get an extra sitrus berry
I'm just curious what happened to the "we're nuzlocking every game" series- is that dead?
A few days ago I got a full odds shiny spoink in Pokémon emerald
23:54 ish.

Have you ever done a mono Fighting-Type run of Gen. 7 yet or not?
I wouldn’t imagine he would as he doesn’t really like the alola games
I think you can in your first attempt, but I think it takes more than one
Ice only Gen 1 please!
Skip from 3:05 to 6:06
Could you have gotten staryu/starmie?
cool vid but it looks like its lagging a lot, some visuals or not slowing down the video would help with viewing pleasure
I’m going to guess Starmie is the MVP
Why no one catches abra on route 116 before roxanne?
Rip for ralts1 and solrock
Without watching, gardevoir gonna be disgusting with psychic tbolt and Ibeam calm mind.
nice intro
