    “Why would I care about their well-being? Each Pokémon we’ve caught so far serves one purpose, and one purpose only: to make. Me .A champion! “ sounds like something a rival would say if they were slowly turned into a villain, and I really hope that if Pokémon decides to write a character with that kind of arc, they use this exact line.

    Jacob really became a Pokémon villain in this episode, didn’t he? Seeing Pokémon as tools rather than partners. Not taking the care to grow with them, instead opting for instant levels with Rare Candies. Choosing his team for their stats and win rates, rather than just using Pokémon he likes. It’s a dark day… and I’m here for it!

    Alpharad’s three nuzlockes represent three different stories of the same person-
    The first one, a young and reckless trainer who makes mistake after mistake, yet has the best intentions and still emerges victorious-
    The second one, an experienced trainer who gets a taste of power for the first time and feels unbeatable, but gets humbled and falls from grace-
    And the third one, a hellbent trainer obsessed with perfection who becomes self absorbed and narcissistic.
    And then there’s the fourth soul-link guy who beat the champion before his partner got through the second Pokémon.

    Jacob’s decent into madness just made remember something: Wasn’t one of the points of nuzlockes to forge a connection with your Pokemon? Like you were supposed to name them, get close to them through them surviving harsh battles and then feel despair when they died?
    I guess I just kind of forgot that because most of the big nuzlockers treat them more as complicated challenge runs, along the same lines as single pokemon, monotype or level 1 runs, and just see the Pokemon as something you use and then either discard or keep around until they die and you replace them.
    I admittedly don’t do nuzlockes (tried them before and didn’t really find any fun in it) so maybe I’m just talking out of my ass here.

      @aro4457 2 года назад

      Late, but most of the time the “sacrifices” do matter a lot, whether it’s due to momentum or simply too risky, whenever there’s a sacrifice, usually it is necessary in order to either not lost your ace (like a psudo-legendary that could sweet the elite four later on) or to prevent a whiteout by regaining momentum.
      In the end, sacrificing something like a Ratacate, Onyx and a Sudowodo to save a Bagon can pay off later on even if the other three might be strong at the moment but will get out classed later on. In the end it’s all prioritization and everyone makes mistakes (like not accounting for crits for example) but it depends on how you play off the mistake and continue is what separates beginners and veterans; the best way to learn how to recover from mistakes is simply by going out, playing and not being afraid to make those mistakes in order to learn from them.

    The best part of the evil villain bit is that it's an Alpharad video. We have no idea whether he's actually becoming a psychopath, is internally chuckling at his bit, or is simply doing it to spite Jan.
