Josh B yea I’ve watched all of them
I'm so excited
Jaiden animations is awesome
Watched it all live. Wasn’t that great since she used the XP booster and she was over leveled the whole time ;p
YES!
The problem for me whenever I try nuzlockes isn't the actual battles. I often lose members while grinding because I always have videos for me to focus on to keep my sanity intact. That's why I love nuzlocking X, Y, and Alpha Sapphire. They are easy games, but strict nuzlockes makes them a little harder and more fun for me. I really appreciate not losing my Abra to a wild Buizel when it has pursuit. Not fun.
You should play with Rare Candy cheats, as such, you only play the fun parts, which is the trainer battles.
@Greg Salazar haha someone got super p*ssed on Reddit when I said I didn't count deaths outside of trainer battles, gym battles, or any other important battles any more. I was like lol I want to have fun, not cry my eyes out or get angry.
@@frosted_glaceon5513 what ever keeps it fun
@@frosted_glaceon5513 "Oh but that's cheating you can't do that" people are funny sometimes
As Jacob Alpharad said: "grinding is cringe and cheating is based"
I love how I’m super different from both MandJ and PC with my nuzlocke opinion. For me nuzlockes are all about the story, and getting emotionally attached to my Pokémon is the most important part of that story. It’s the exact same reason why I love watching movies and television shows where you’re favourite characters are very likely going to die. That kinda thing raised investment due to raised story stakes, and there will be payoff whether the character lives or dies, if the character dies it gives me payoff in my strong sadness, and if the live and triumph it gives payoff in such a satisfying conclusion to see the odds having been overcome.
The other nice thing about nuzlockes to me is they allow me to feel connected to Pokémon I never would’ve used or thought about before, and that allows me to explore the game even more deeply than I otherwise could.
Basically nuzlockes are absolutely amazing, but can be for very different reasons for different people and that makes them even better.
MandJTV lore factoid: His viewers didn't actually vote for Platinum, they voted for HGSS, but Mikey decided on Platinum (the runner-up) because it was a shorter game and he didn't want to get stuck playing something he didn't enjoy.
to be fair hgss leveling fuckin sucks so he'd have to grind a lot
@@elliotw.888 Okay so I wasn't imagining it lmao, I tried a HG nuzlocke a while ago and couldn't understand why my team wasn't levelling. Good to know it's part of the game balance
@@Catmouflage you probably should know that grinding lvl30s when your team is lvl60s will be really slow.
@@Catmouflage It's a lot worse in the original games than in HGSS, but yeah, it can be pretty bad.

So thats where he went after Platinum
Every other game possible after platinum to conquer them
"This shits fun as fuck!"
Cyrus learned how to loosen up a bit apparently but still pulls out the robot talk sometimes
This guy is probably Cyrus’ rival.
Honestly, I agree 100% with the message of "playing around crits." However, I think a better way to get the message across would be something like this: "Always assume that your opponent's next attack will crit. Never assume that it won't."
Right! Sometimes you can’t play around it regardless. But you need to be aware. Especially through Intimidate, screens or other drops.
If its not 100% accurate its 50% accurate
Except if you have a pokemon with battle armor or other similar ability. Preventing crits
Alternatively, think of it as the opponent's attack having a chance to deal reduced damage, with a crit being the default outcome. A strat that requires the opponent not to land a crit is similar to one that relies on your own attack being a crit, and while a lucky crit (or non-crit) can pull you out of a sticky situation, it's important to avoid those situations to begin with.

Thank you for defending Bidoof and Bibarel, I was a kid when I first played Diamond and fell in love with bidoof. Got me through some hard battles (for a 10yo). It kind of hurts when people shit on it constantly.
Pokèmon Legends Arceus changed my mind about Bidoof. You are forced to catch one (as well as a few other 'mon) as part of your first official mission. I had assumed they would be taken and not made apart of my team. Thought it was a fetch quest but I was wrong. I was going to release him but decided to give him a chance. I left him stay on my team. I normally name my Pokèmon but decided to let him earn it. "Prove to me you deserve a spot on this team. Show me your worth." He more than proved he deserved a shot. I named him Bucky cause of his buck teeth.
I wonder if you saw the Bidoof short on the offical Pokèmon channel. It's called Bidoof's Stand or something to that effect.
I've been saying Bidoof and Bibarel are fantastic since DPP was released, and not just as HM slaves. Glad to see I'm not the only one who loves them.
I'm so sorry to hear your L

You described Jubilee as being 'Based'. No idea what that meant.
Looked it up and got two definitions
1: being yourself
2: addicted to crack cocaine
I did the same thing, but I like option 2 the most.
Lol, I literally spend the last hour researching about that whole Jubilee person and all possible meanings of being „based“
Based is modern vernacular inspired by the artist Based God Lil B, where he used the term "Based" from the term for Crack Users called Freebasing, but in an ironic way.
Based in this context basically means "being cool"
It also tends to be used in the sense of someone having political opinions you strongly agree with.
Fun Fact: The online username of the first person in Germany to serve jail time for swatting was „BasedGod“
lol Hating on RUclips watchers just to get people rage chatting. Good strat, good strat.
Man had me cracking up when you started giving me, us, the RUclips commenters shit😂😂😂 also love that you actually swear like a regular 21st century person! I get a bit tired of every Pokémon RUclips being so clean. Like I get it it’s a kids game but it don’t stop well over half the use base from being adults!
MandJ seems like the type of person whos not used to things not going his way tbh
For anyone wondering what "based" means, since he keeps saying it, it means "commendable" or "worthy of support".
Legend
Thx
New watcher, much appreciated!
thank you for this.. haha recent fan here..
Thx, I looked up the definition myself and it said someone who doesn't care who others think
Dude looks and sounds like he's on the verge of tears for a lot of this run. I'm not sure he's cut out for a Nuzlocke.
Dude did this in 2016. He did some other nuzlockes after this.
he actually did say that he isn't cut out for nuzlocke
He is not cut out for hard fights in general. I watched some of his Pokémon Insurgence lets play and when he faced the air gym he ended up throwing his controller at the wall. A battle which he could have won if he had not made some key mistakes. If I remember correctly he switched to the easiest difficulty not to long after that.
He also got very mad about ultra necrozma
Hes more about "comedy" & lore surrounding the Pokémon universe than he is skilled gameplay
I love how in the thumbnail MandJTV looks so sad and PC is just there judging him.
I love how Jan doesn’t even crack the slightest hint of a smile every time this guy makes a joke 😭😂
I really appreciate the lack of judgement I feel from this channel. He makes it clear that the way he plays and enjoys Pokémon is not for everyone and that he wants everyone to enjoy themselves with their runs
Yea agree it's great to see it considering most people would judge you for now playing like they do
Its crazy to see him be able to critique peoples strategies or mistakes as deeply as he does, while still maintaining that feeling. A LOT of people would need to either not be any kind of critical, OR fall into the trap of it ceasing to be critique, and starting to be tear-downs. But hes able to balance the two AMAZINGLY well
What lack of judgement? I see near constant judgement
@@NoThankUBeQuiet criticism is not the same as judgement.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet what the person above me said, but the sarcastic remarks are just humor and his personality. he always reiterates that of course he doesnt expect any random, esp a first timer, to be as good as him or anyone else who has put thousands of hours into these runs
You should definitely react to SmallAnt beating Platinum without taking any damage.
He did
I remember my first successful, Shauntal’s Golurk was a two shot on my Clefable (I’d survive a crit if I was at full), but my Ice Beam was a three shot even with Life Orb (I was Magic Guard so I grinded BP to get a Life Orb), I knew I needed a clean switch, so with heavy heart I clicked Ice Beam for the last time…but Clefable was like “You’re not killing me that easily” and ice beam gets the 10% freeze chance letting me beat Shauntal deathless and probably saving the entire fricking run

I know this is old, but I find the RUclips industry stuff from the beginning very interesting. It's cool to see the curtain peel back a bit and see what influences content
I’m honestly fine with either style of play. Obviously I’ve leaned into challenge runs or restrictions as I’ve gotten older, but i can always enjoy a casual play through of any pokemon games. There’s a sense of progression you get when these battles you found tough as a kid are cake walks, or you planned better for and made it out fine.
Friendship evolutions make tons of sense for casual playthroughs. Many players will just have a Pokemon on their team, and it will evolve whenever it evolves. That's totally valid.
It's really only in the context of hardcore playthroughs and deliberately grinding a Pokemon to evolve that it seems like a dumb mechanic, let alone a feature that should have never passed QA. But most people don't play the game that way.
Fax
There just pixels, grow up you fucking baby is the impression I got from Pokemon challenges
Trade evolutions and friendship evolutions are retarded
True, which is why I’m happy they’re adding more ways to increase it rather than just walking. Cause in any context the walking only thing is dumb but luckily it doesn’t have to be like that.
Never found it very hard to evolve them so I guess I don’t share the negative feeling to the friendship mechanics
This was surprisingly... well, I wouldn't say "wholesome", but more civil than I was expecting after seeing MandJtTV's video on my own time. Figured there'd be more shaming over his frustration with the style of play, but you took his tantrums in stride and didn't mock his feelings towards Nuzlockes. Some jabs at his misplays and blaming of the game, sure, but who wouldn't?
Also, apologies not being able to catch streams. My net is usually trash, so watching these vids are usually more convenient than watching a buffering Twitch.
MandJTV can be a bit much, but this is a good comment because no one should be judged on how they play a game
And he does a good job tolerating the channel that is basically kid friendly with some adult jokes (MandJTV)

What a fantastic educational resource! I'm learning so much about the RUclips game.
"showing inexperience" he says, in a video titled, "My First Nuzlocke".
Lol
I mean yes. He is saying that the inexperience is apparent.
yeah, that’s the point
The only reason this video exists is because he has acknowledged the inexperience of others, including this mandj guy. It makes sense for him to point it out when it’s egregious, right?
When MandJ has been playing Pokemon for almsot two decades?
I'm glad that your channel is finally taking off
Found this from the Jaiden reaction and I’m happy I did
I just found this like a week ago and his content is pretty cool
About time everyone noticed Jan’s greatness
He finally is hitting the Algorithm
Only took becoming unoriginal reaction channel
I think it's funny that I found Mikey's channel years ago, then a reacts video he did introduced me to alpharad, and then a reacts video he did introduced me to Pokémon Challenges, and now I'm watching this video and it's come full circle.
honestly half the fun of watching people play games is seeing and knowing they are enjoying themselves (at least for me) but also bc im dumb and would never be able to do nuzlocke challenges like pc (i literally lose pokemon to grinding fml) so this channel is incredibly satisfying too
From what I've seen, a lot of people comment to correct your mistakes as soon as you make them, even if you've corrected them later in the same video
This is highly possible. I listen to the video commenting occasionally on different things which have been said in the video.
I guess thats fair because he does it to the people he reacts to
27:46 for the double battle right before Veilstone I always talk to the trainers from the side one at a time to avoid it being a double battle altogether
Same, and I also always do the drifblim fight first, because aftermath could be a pain.
Lmao his face when MandJ started to say:
“Spelled like giga, but pronounced like……..”
Seeing that intro made me want a video of "normal person who plays games other than pokemon reacts to pro nuzlocker challenge run", where someone reacts to his emerald kaizo video doing commentary in the same way he does but saying things like "that opponent's pokemon looks fat, therefore it probably has good defences and will survive his attack, bad move there" lol
In the words of Chuggaaconroy "Zubat is utterly useless...until it learns wing attack". Blows my mind he didn't just have his zubat spam wing attack the entire time. Lol
"Dustox can be really great"
I second this. I've used Dustox in my own nuzlocke and it was amazing
What game were u playing?
Early game bugs are really good in general. Beedrill and Butterfree are pretty decent for the early to midgame (Beedrill leveled up can even take out Sabrina with Twineedle), GSC Dustox is great, basically every bug in Unova is pretty dang good, Vivillion is REALLY good for early game X/Y...
Yeah, go early game bugs. Not top tiers but turns out having higher base stats than unevolved Pokemon is super useful.
It can be good for norman with its protect by level up
bro dustox can be really good in oras. used it until 6th Gym and it was very good
is it just me or does it look like he is on the brink of tears for the entire video?
As jaiden said about Cynthia's garchomp: that thing is made by satin himself, and even he fears what he's created.
“Bibarel is really good”

I Was prettay happy when He endorsed Bibarel, since i had a Bibarel in my platinum Nuzlocke named BeefCake 2 (don't ask what happened to the First one) my boy carried me Trough Fantina using His Water attacks but sadly Hidden Power Fighting from a goddam WORMADAM killed him right when i was grinding for Maylene using the vs Seeker
"Y'all get too attached to your Pokemon. They're pixels."
Doesn't _not_ getting attached sort of wreck one of the major reasons Nuzlockes are difficult?
Like, duh, lots of people can dismiss getting attached to fictional characters entirely, so they're aren't going to find that to be a difficult thing to deal with. But if you can keep in part of the challenge, why wouldn't ya?
They're pixels.
@@Rockycane They are but Nuzlockes started as a way to form stronger “bonds” with the Pokémon and make it harder. That’s why it’s a rule to nickname your Pokémon, so you grow attached. Str8 from Nick
Even without emotional attachment, losing them hits hard because of lost time grinding and trying to replace it with another good/okay pixel
The thing is after 3000 hours of doing them he just wouldn't care about them anymore. That's why he jokes about it
Rocky the Rock and human beings are just atoms and molecules. Doesn’t make a difference though to how the brain forms connections.
I’m definitely enjoying playing Pokémon nuzlocke style really is what is motivating me to replay the same games they keep remaking
Damn I didn’t expect to be personally attacked like that
Love how he used Guillotine on the higher leveled Crobat. 46:40
it’s cuz manjtv is garbage at this game
@@cheekynandos7059 you cannot tell me that you've never accidentally used a move that would have no effect, sometimes shit just slips the mind, you don't have to be an asshole.
@@cheekynandos7059 Remember, that he played that nuzlocke in 2016. Like 4-5 years prior. He's def gotten better
How did ypu notice that with tge sped up text? Do you have 0.25 speed down eyesight?
@@elvenatheart982 E-yes
“Isn’t there some Pokémon villain who says you should Pokémon as tools?” Giovanni.
He also (like me) realized that GHETSIS does the same thing as he openly calls them tools on a few occasions over Black White as well as Black 2/White 2.
Hmm villain that uses pokemon as tools
Giovanni
Silver
Maxie and Archie
Cyrus
Ghetsis
Lysandre
Literally every single evil team beside skull and aether foundation has a leader that has the trope of "I only use pokemon as tools to further my goals" it's not unique it's boring. It's what makes villains like N and Guzma good villains cos they actually have motivation and character to them besides the same trope over and over again
Pokemon Adventure
Pryce
@@cbored3778 Yes but form what I remember of Team Leaders Giovanni and Ghetsis are the ones the openly refer to them as tools.
@Michael Fawcett
Maxie and Archie share this line: My goals are none of your concern. My crew/team, my pokemon, they are but tools so I can create a new and better world. Top of mt chimney.
Cyrus is described like this by his parents (I assume) in sunnyshore city: He was just like any young boy growing up around pokemon, he loved them and said that he wanted to be a strong trainer. As he grew older, Cyrus began to grow more cynical. You could see it with his pokemon, he was tougher, stricter, like he was treating them like tools. Truly awful.
Silver's battle in Azalea town after you beat him he mentions that "my pokemon are so weak, all that matters is power and pokemon are a tool for that power, you hear me" then he mentions the slowpoke well and how he hates team rocket and heads off
The only one that I was wrong with was Lysandre cos all he Blathers on about is beauty and life all that, he's able to use mega evolution with his gyarados so I should have guessed that he treats them well.
All the others I was right with, I would rather that you look into what your talking about before correcting someone. I don't mean that maliciously I was just offering advice.
ngl the most interesting thing I got out of this is how their personalities clashes 😂
I laughed so hard at him leaving his video for 15 minutes and how you reacted to it
I'm loving these. You should make a series where you rate and review people's nuzlockes. I'd watch the hell outta that.
You can get earthquake in the same cave as gibble. He could have given that to either either geodude or his gligar
I assumed he gave it to Gliscor since it had the move in the team preview and it doesn't learn it by levelup.
No he just didn't get it
Nah his Gliscor had Earthquake which he used in the fight against Volkner among other things
He did and gave it to gliscor
25:30 The moment I hit the subscribe button. Well earned.
So what I understand is that this guy is a hardcore gamer and I can respect that.
Eh my favorite part of Nuzlockes is how attached you get to certain members of your team. It makes the run more fun than if every encounter was just another set of pixels. That said, obviously that's personal preference
One of the only react people who actually prioritizes reacting and making interesting commentary on the content. Subbed!
the absolute realist fucking pokemon youtuber. you have earned a subscriber for life and i just might even download twitch just to watch your streams, keep up the awesome content brother.
The pride that grows throughout the video is amazing.
8:50 - I mean even as an HM slave, the fact that it gets Stab means that Cut isn’t worthless, Strength and Rock Climb and Surf are even better, and more, so even if you only gave it HMs, it could use those HMs really well. Combining it with Infernape means you could actually foist Rock Smash onto Infernape, and combined with the fact you can very easily get a Gyrados for Waterfall, you can actually keeps HMs on your team the whole game without massively nerfing your team.
With Simple as the ability: Waterfall, Strength/Rock Climb, Curse (level 53 in platinum) then another HM like Rock Smash, maybe grab Double Team from Wayward Cave, or use a TM for a coverage physical move like Dig (TM28), Iron Tail (TM23), or Thief (TM46). Great mon. If you get unaware, then Toxic/Thunder Wave, Whirlpool, Swagger, Attract if yours is female, Protect/Substitute, Taunt, etc.
He said “and make it a lot les fun” and PC’s like “what? What? Woah woah woah” 😂😂😂
That whole “you commenters are stupid” rant was the reason I subbed
This was a fun video love your advice
