I like how whenever you shift between post and live commentary, it's like seeing a calm, collected individual suddenly turn into some borderline xQc maniac.
I love coming from pChal's side and him being like, "I am/might be the greatest nuzlocker in the world", and then coming to Drxx and him beginning with "I... AM A MANIAC". Beautiful
@@Qrbrbrbl yeah if you look at pokemon challenges’s runs, he hardly gets any progress per run and he’s been doing this for months, and he’s allegedly a pretty good nuzlocker
Very very very entertaining bro I sat through the whole thing start to finish!!!!! Keep doing what you’re doing this year you’ll be taking over forsure💯🤞🏾🧡
@@Drxxyt 🐐if for some reason you dont get to where you wanna be this year either you ain’t work hard enough or it’s not your time but I believe in you stay hungry bro
While this game is difficult, the quick claws, bright powders, focus bands plus crits and so much RNG to already stupid challenge. Just keep crunching those numbers Drew. After enough attempts you’re bound to get a winning run!
So true! Now imagine if someone remade Pokemon Blue Kaizo, kept the gen 1 crits based on speed, and made it where the Pokemon held quick claws, bright powders, and focus bands. It would be an absolute nightmare!
One of the devs here. What a nice run! Hope to see more attempts here hehe... I hope you had fun with the game and most especially, the AI hehe (I worked on the AI btw but it will be nothing compared to my upcoming romhack, which plays like a competitive player but fairer (unlike Radical Red).
No way, congrats on that insane first run! I got past Whitney on my first run, then died four times in a row to her. I think the worst part of my game is the strategic sacks. I just don't want to lose any mon! Also, Giga Drain walls sooooo many mons. Super cheese strats. Looking forward to the next one!
The difference is Jan played blind for most of his first couple runs. Jan invented playing around the crit if you listen to Kaizos breakdown following EK. This creator was insanely prepared and did an amazing job! Hats off to him. Loved the content.
@@zrktdalton I generally agree with what you're saying, but I don't know if you can really credit pchal for inventing the idea that one might want to consider a well known game mechanic while they're playing
tbh my playthrough in this game was so frustrating with para luck, low acc moves hitting and mine missing etc. but props for getting this far, even when all enemies have serene grace & zoom lens XD
Wow! Such an entertaining and well made video. I really respect that you uploaded this attempt even though you lost. Appreciating the journey is just as important than the destination 💯💪🏻 Keep up the great work!
Some of the bad luck moments you get are just absolutely unbelievable bro I love watching these videos that you make, knowing how much effort these inhuman challenges demand Thank you for putting so much time into this sort of stuff for us to have entertainment, for real Better luck next time!
I was nuzlocking heart gold I learned the hard way on sacking my last attempt since not using rare candies I'm allowed to try to get the pokemon to level of your ace but two faints = stays dead (tip dont face bosses til your new catfh is the level of the ace) there's quite a few complex rules including multiple encounters but hardcore I know bans that I've never succeeded so interested in this
Unrelated to Crystal Kaizo I was going against Bede's Duoision with Eevee and I got Bite flinch twice, I Quick Attacked to finish, but he healed, so I use Bite again getting the flinch again, then finish with Quick Attack...
Great video! Can't wait to see what's next! Spoilers: The E4 was brutal! You played so well after losing pilo! I would take a break if I were you as well, but I hope you come back to it eventually because you can definitely win man!
Time for Crystal Kaizo +++, Every trainer has level 100s and variations of competitive only Pokemon and if any of your Pokemon die, the run is over. Should be pretty easy for you.
the original CK is harder. so hard they needed to make the easier "+" to make it reasonably nuzlockable. so not actually "the hardest" but "the hardest reasonably nuzlockable"
Not nesesarily. The problem is that you spend half the game switch stalling. Without healing, it is absolutely the hardest one, but you spend an eternity stalling.
@@DemICE666 Yeah… CK was built around item usage. True healess runs are few and far between, and you bet you ass that no one who claims to have done a true hardcore nuzlocke has any evidence…This game was meant to provide the PROPER kaizo experience instead of 159 turns of bitter root milk suicune.
@@PabloRodriguez-ov9sx it really depends on what someone is looking for. as someone who plays set mode no items no nuzlocke, i found Crystal Kaizo pretty hard and Crystal Kaizo+ extreemely easy. So for me, for the way i personally i play, OG CK is the proper kaizo experience. I can totally agree with the creation of CK+ for those who wanna HC Nuzlocke though.
It one in 4 for high crit moves to crit In gen two but did they change it for crystal kiazo? Could someone inform me Edit: this info was for bulbapedia as high crit Moves like slash have a plus two boost not plus one like future gens
I can't believe all the status. I'm watching the part against Whitney and hope you get more lucky. Amazing content! Whenever i reinstall Twitch i'm following there aswell
Do pokemon rejuvenation or pokemon reborn nuzlock. I would like to see that 😂. In pokemon rejuvenation you can choose a difficulty called “intense mode”, its basically hell lol. The stories of both these games are actually really good, pokemon reborn is finished but pokemon rejuvenation is still in development. Definitely would recommend to check it out!
I’m on my second play through of this game and it is pretty difficult without nuzlocking. I am doing it without items but that’s my only limit (although I try to stay close to the level of each gym leader)
I like how whenever you shift between post and live commentary, it's like seeing a calm, collected individual suddenly turn into some borderline xQc maniac.
Lol I’ve gotten this from other people I’ll try to make it more smoother
@@Drxxyt dont bro! Its one of the main reasons i watch... Been watching since your vintage runs and youre reactions are gold! Keep doing you.
@@Drxxyt no bro it's great!
@@Drxxyt no, I love it! it's so unique and sets you apart from other poketubers!!!
@@Drxxyt I do prefer the quiet explanation personally
I love coming from pChal's side and him being like, "I am/might be the greatest nuzlocker in the world", and then coming to Drxx and him beginning with "I... AM A MANIAC".
Beautiful
Drxx’s stream: super hyped and loud
Drxx’s voiceover: composed and almost kinda bored
I just find that funny
The fact that this rom hack barely had to change Whitney’s miltank from the original move set just shows how demonic the devs truly made it
Yes
That first Granbull was the godamn goat. Multiple para flinches and crit dodges, hitting a cluch bslam para.
1:29:56 Jesus some of the most unluckiest RNG in a E4 run since that one WolfeyVGC E4 run in EK sadge
Oh god don’t remind me
"Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe this nuzlocke, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point.
@@Qrbrbrbl yeah if you look at pokemon challenges’s runs, he hardly gets any progress per run and he’s been doing this for months, and he’s allegedly a pretty good nuzlocker
More like the Wolfey VGC EK E4 run with Gunner luck
@@emperortoho I mean he is. He just originally didn’t use docs for EK. He played organically at only looked at docs for stuff he had beaten before
I think this is the unluckiest run I've ever seen, but you played amazing despite it! You'll get it next time
Very very very entertaining bro I sat through the whole thing start to finish!!!!! Keep doing what you’re doing this year you’ll be taking over forsure💯🤞🏾🧡
Thanks Shelly this means a lot!
i second that
@@Drxxyt 🐐if for some reason you dont get to where you wanna be this year either you ain’t work hard enough or it’s not your time but I believe in you stay hungry bro
How this doesn’t have more views is beyond me, what a run!

Insane how you had to opt for backups to your backup plans and still got screwed over by crits and hax. Really entertaining video either way!
That glitched Chuck had me in hysterics.
Hahahahaha I accidentally opened the wrong game

Realized i missed watching this video after your recenr CK+ run, loving both the content and the editing. As always, big ups to you ♥️
This madman got to the E4 on attempt 1 while also getting haxxed to death at every turn. Jan could never
Another banger vid, Drxx

Kaizo's breakdown following EK?
The personality shift between your edited voice and in stream clips is entertaining af while also being informative please keep it

i still can't believe this channel doesn't have more subscribers
That was an incredible run! You got yourself a new subscriber! Keep up the great work!
managed to get to the elite 4 before pchal? new best nuzlocker
That beedrill really survived winter and said “not today mother trucker.” Here’s to hoping it makes it to the end!
Some of the bad luck moments you get are just absolutely unbelievable bro
I love watching these videos that you make, knowing how much effort these inhuman challenges demand
Thank you for putting so much time into this sort of stuff for us to have entertainment, for real
Better luck next time!
Great video mate, loved every bit of it
Thanks sunny steph
That Clair gym battle has to be some of the most scuffed RNG I've ever seen, holy shit.
" Pokemon Challenges is fucking tra...." lmfao
This is really well done, nice vid!
While you didn't have the best rng, at least your irl rng is good because the RUclips algorithm rng blessed me with this video.
Love the ruler overlay. Pokemon Challenges needs to steal this xD
Facts
Your videos are so well made and thought out. Loving the content!
“That makes the gen 2 experience actually enjoyable” dawg I’m 19 seconds in and you’re throwing around takes hotter than scald
That E4 luck was horrendous, I could see the Joker makeup bursting through your pores with each hax
how does he keep putting out banger after banger after banger bruh
he's not just built different, he's built _better_
Dude your channel is gonna blow up, this content is legitimately really entertaining
AI Switches pokemon
Drxx: *Heavy breathing*
You will beat this game this year for sure
Like with most Crystal playthroughs, it was a Miltank that ended up ending the run for real. That kind of bad luck is insane.
Great video, looking forward to seeing more stuff from you!
“PokemonChallenges you su-“ were his last words before wiping RIP
“That’s for the birthday boy, baby!” 😂😂😂🤣😂😂
13:18 "Macargo, an insanely good pokemon" said no one ever
In roms like EK or CK+ it's actually good
it's stats are buffed in CK+ it's legit a good mon
It’s my favorite
i love this, thanks drxx!
adding another nuzlocker to my subs LMAO so excited to watch your older stuff!
43:26 Why didn’t you heal when he was about to use protect?
bro your video is amazing i cant belive u made it dis far 💯 keep up the 🔥 work🔥 im watching it for the 3rd time now bc it is entertaining
Ahahha I loled hard when you freaked out with the fetchd movement , you never played crystal?? 🤣
The GOAT got to Karen on A1, what a madman!
The insane bad RNG at the end was crazy bro, however, the run was good overall
great video drew :) that was an insane run start to finish jfc
Excellent content man, looking forward to more CK

40:50 i lmaoed bad 😂😂
these videos give me mixed feelings, on one hand they're amazing and on the other hand i'm reminded how bad i am at pokemon
Damn. Your voice during the narration is really good.
Huge fan of the post commentary
Your hype alone was entertaining to watch! Well done!
Unrelated to Crystal Kaizo

Narrator you is so calm.
that last fight is fucked up... if that was me I would no longer have a monitor
Did you take down the video of introducing Crystal Kaizo +? I can't seem to find it
babe new drxx video just dropped😍
this is the best video of 2023
No shot 😮
One of my favorite rom hacks right up with radical red.
Keep your head up king. You're a better man than me
Great video drxx
Bro really became the nuzlocke goat keep up the incredible content
have u heard about pokemon challenges?
@JxvnxShxnxbx bro said the original crystal kaizo was impossible w/o items and discounted the game because of it. He's a bum.
Leggooo cant wait to get the soulslocke sorted
This guy is very inteligent and very funny, like it
That was brutal.
Darn u Miltank! Darn u! Good run tho 🎉
absolute legend, sorry you wiped ,awesome still
i swear, drew is so cute when hes into a game.
the original CK is harder. so hard they needed to make the easier "+" to make it reasonably nuzlockable.
so not actually "the hardest" but "the hardest reasonably nuzlockable"
Not nesesarily. The problem is that you spend half the game switch stalling. Without healing, it is absolutely the hardest one, but you spend an eternity stalling.

How does he do the thing on the HP bar to see how many percent it has??
Awesome stuff! How long did it take you to get to E4?
drxx the 🐐no 🧢
i'm only halfway through this, but u are CRAKT omg
honestly, this was a GG if i ever saw one.
para into para into para into crit into full para YUH
Drxx vs Jan in a Emerald Kaizo versus hardcore nuzlocke when?
It one in 4 for high crit moves to crit In gen two but did they change it for crystal kiazo? Could someone inform me
Edit: this info was for bulbapedia as high crit Moves like slash have a plus two boost not plus one like future gens
been waiting for this since u announced it
bro made it like 30 seconds before hating on gen 2
I can't believe all the status. I'm watching the part against Whitney and hope you get more lucky.
Amazing content!
Whenever i reinstall Twitch i'm following there aswell
I remember Jan once saying that Crystal Kaizo+ was not for public download. Did that change?
Yes, follow him on Discord and you'll find all the info for it. Good luck!
12:38 Nice scizor, but its green. Shiny maybe?
40:52 Wonder if that’s a challenge to Jan
Did Extreme Speed not have enough to kill Persian instead of having to play around CRIT to use Wing Attack?
1:29:36 Exactly what I told myself several times spending 90+ hours on CK
You know what, I have enough trouble with drayano hacks so imma leave these uber hard games alone 😂
1:08:48 luapmail MANNIFESTED that crit
Where do you get the interface/data used to display enemy pokemon and moves? It looks so clean
Spoiler:
I love how there's a counter next to "deaths": "Run: 1" I guess this is why every poketuber dreads this challenge, given the ending.
Do pokemon rejuvenation or pokemon reborn nuzlock. I would like to see that 😂. In pokemon rejuvenation you can choose a difficulty called “intense mode”, its basically hell lol. The stories of both these games are actually really good, pokemon reborn is finished but pokemon rejuvenation is still in development. Definitely would recommend to check it out!
HES TOO CLEAN
Awesome video
I’m on my second play through of this game and it is pretty difficult without nuzlocking. I am doing it without items but that’s my only limit (although I try to stay close to the level of each gym leader)
