- Can I beat a Hardcore Nuzlocke of Yellow without catching a single Pokémon?
The entire goal of Pokémon is to catch them all. That's literally the motto. But Suppose I wanted to be a Pokémon Activist, who refuses to participate in that whole charade. Could I still beat Pokémon Yellow if I never catch anything?

Bro is really like peta, the double standars, the lies, the blabering just to sound like manipulators, etc.
Poetic video, worth the entire video watch
Glad you caught that! Yeah Peta is not an organization I have any respect for in case it wasn't obvious
Yellow is probably the most friendly game for no catching giving you so many starters early on.
That’s why I chose that one instead or red/blue. Getting all three starters so early is solid
@@NuzlockeJoe yeah it is. A good balance of power.
X/Y has a lot of goated gifts
Actually no. There is Brock
You get a solid team in this one for sure, with pikachu, the 3 starters, lapras, an eevee, a hitmon
Losing the first Rival battle has Rival's Eevee evolves into Vaporeon regardless if you win or skip the optional Rival battle.
Winning the first Rival battle has Rival's Eevee evolves into Flareon unless you also win the optional Rival battle then Rival's Eevee evolves into Jolteon.
This needs a part 2 in Pokemon Crystal
I did leave it up in the air for that. So depending on how well received this one is, that’s a real possibility
@NuzlockeJoe Crystal thankfully has the daycare Egg plus can breed the gift Eevee for multiple Eeveelutions and get the stones early enough from pokegear contacts
Also the Dratini with Extreme Speed at the 8th Johto Gym.
yes do it!!@@NuzlockeJoe
Such a good idea!
Fun fact: the "gotta catch 'em all" motto is something made up by the USAians. It has never been a thing in the original Japanese franchise. Of course the idea of completing the Dex was important, but not franchise-motto-level of important.
Bruh
I actually did not know that!
Bro just say Americans what on earth is a usaians
@@nickkambos8514 sister, it's a person from USA. America is the whole continent.
@@thefierybrib bro what it’s the United States of America just say Americans that’s what we are. no one would be thinking Canada had you said Americans stop using some stupid ass logic
>not expecting Nidoqueen to try and thunder a Venusaur
Ah, the mistake you make. Gen 1 AI chooses its moves after you every time. It decided to use thunder because you had switched to Lapras.
Oh, that makes a lot of sense! I thought it only applied to items, but it makes sense about the changing Pokémon. Guess I should have done a bit more research before attempting a nuzlocke of gen 1.
Pikachu
Exterminates
Tenacious
Arboks
Im checking this channel every day, hoping that part 2 is up. I really liked this take on the giftlocke, felt sort of like an anime with a story. Cant wait for the next one!
I'm glad you liked it! I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I havent even begun to play part 2 yet, so it will honestly be a few months. I do have plenty of other videos you can check out int he meantime though!
@@NuzlockeJoe Thats cool, I really enjoy your other content as well! Hope this will be a series with continuity as you teased, that would be so cool
Starters, Eevee, game corner Pokemon, mgaikarp, Lapras and hitmon
Don’t forget about fossils
It is forgiven Joe. A cruise beats yelling at Bill
Your banter is fantastic. =] Thank you for the content you create.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words
Great script and nicknames
Thanks!
Great watch, as always, kinda makes you wonder if Lorelei's Slowbro was withdrawing out of fear
He knew what was coming
Ok this was a cool idea. I could see how it wouldn’t be the easiest run to make in some games, but Yellow is a good choice.👍
Yep, that's why I chose yellow instead of red or blue. Way easier
Team Plasma Supremacy
Basically yeah. Aside from the stealing aspect and poor leadership, team plasma was basically right
That is the friendly and incredible nuzlocker Joe! Thank you, Joe! That was very good! I wish more and more success!😊btw I missed you! I know it's a complex job the editing of the videos though...
Thanks! I mean, I did have a video two weeks ago so it hasn’t been all that long lol
@@NuzlockeJoe I didn't even remember, but I do now. You released a different challenge if I recall well. I guess it was... I gotta check out. Well, I confess I don't really watch every single challenge, Joe, I mean, because some Pokemon games don't actually entertain me so much or maybe sometimes I know very little about the game and I'm able to understand very little as the guy narrates, as I am Brazilian English can be difficult sometimes to understand you know. I'm not a native English speaker, so it is harder for me sometimes. when I say that I refer to any Pokemon RUclipsr. Usually I do watch gens 1, 2, 3 and 4 challenges. But thanks anyway for all your challenges!
I love this challenge format, def would watch future regions with the same!
There is discussion wether Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan and Lapras share an encounter, but I think there is enough difference between Saffron City and Silph Co. to justify getting both. What is undeniable is that Omanyte/Kabuto and Aerodactyl share the encounter and you should only get one. It doesn't change the run much since you didn't use them too much tho
Maybe technically I shouldnt have gotten aerodactly and omastar in cinnabar, but aerdactly wasn't going to be of any use anyway, so yeah
Agreed.
Silph co. is its own area but the fossils should be just one.
Oh well!
Still a great run!
Yess, we want next regions as well, with the same format love it
You intentionally trapped Pokémon in the box
Ironic. Won't catch Pokemon, but is okay beating the shit out of many wild Pokemon.
Won't catch pokemon but will accept pokemon caught by other people lol
Lmao that double kick crit oop
Great Challenge, I have beaten FireRed without catching Pokemon, but it wasn't a nuzlocke. However, Yellow, if you get past Brock which should require an insane amount of grinding, then with all three starters, Magikarp, Evee, Lapras, the Hitmons, and Rocket Game corner Pokemon sounds very doable.
Yeah the Brock battle is rough, but getting all three starters makes it worth it imo
I don’t have to watch the video to know this will be a clean sweep if you can get past Brock.
You get so many heavy hitters in Yellow for pretty much free. lol
Eve
Bulbasaur
Squirtle
Charmander
Garaydos
Great video
Besides Gyarados the final team was very Red from Mt. Silver
Curious if can manage in BW as have fellow Pokémon freedom fighter N
Yeah N was somewhat a basis for this run
Spoken like someone who would truly brutally murder and animal and film it just to have footage of an animal being brutally murdered. Well done!
damn i did this challenge when i got my pokemon yellow and gameboy color as a little kid, dont know how i got past Brock but i did and after that a older friend of my taught me how to catch other pokemon haha
Hahaha what a wonderful way around no catching.
Fun times!
But Pikachu died, the run would be over lol
True, but oftentimes the first battle doesnt count in a nuzlocke. I mean I could have restarted, but it would just redo the first 1 minute of the run.
mf is N but in a alternative timeline
Yep, I would easily fit in with team plasma
It does make sense you name your self peta
I think you will use the pokedoll to hug and cherish
That is not a bad guess I suppose. But in truth, I just throw it away at the first opportunity
Gotta catch em..... not 😅
I would have said battling wild pokemon is natural they would compete like this in the wild for food and other resources
A valid point
Pls do a BDSP electric only run. I couldn’t make it but maybe you do?
Honestly, I havent even played BDSP yet. Maybe I'll get around to it some time, but I have a lot on my plate right now.
I'm guessing you got the pokedoll to do the glitch on Marowak
Pretty good guess!
The green cat says hi to pizza rat hey this challenge is like the game called Deltarune
He got all 3 starters.
11:50 vileplume??????
No EV training in gen 1 you wasted some time there lol
There is EV training in gen 1, it just works a bit different. But you still get stat boosts for defeating Pokémon
I'm really sorry I was always led to believe that EVs were not even a real thing until gen 3 my apologies also the bulbasaur joins when pikachus happiness is at a certain level there is a bug to this in which if they are on full hp you can keep giving potions to raise happiness it will say it didn't work but registers you using items on pika hope this helps anyone 😊
@@davejohnson9300 yeah I actually used that bug in my Pokémon yellow walkthrough ad ash. But no worries about the EVs, it happens.
Run failed.. Pikachu died in the first rival fight. smh
It’s only in play once you get pokeballs so that first fight is irrelevant to the challenge… thankfully because especially in earlier generations it can be tough for new trainers haha.
@@Gameboy_Gracithat's just a cop out. that clause is irrelevant in a no catch run.
@@EternalAnkh as far as I’ve seen that’s literally the first rule. Don’t be mad at us haha. Be mad at whoever made that rule.
@@Gameboy_Graci it's not a rule. it's an optional clause.
@@EternalAnkhno one cares other than you and optional means it’s fair game
What about a BW nuzlocke without Unova Pokémon ( using a randomizer or something)
That could be an interesting run. I can consider it for sure
If you were Peta, youd have to release all your pokemon or even let them die on purpose. At least you murdered a bunch of wild pokemon. Thats realistic.
A valid point. Wait till the end though and you might be marginally more satisfied
To be clear, I’m certainly not a PETA fan, just thought it would be a good reference
@@NuzlockeJoeGood
I like the rule of matching the number of pokémon that a gym leader has. I don't think that was in the original hardcore nuzlocke rules but it makes for a good addition and naturally a much harder challenge.
I think Lv 12 Pikachu is technically possible due to 1/256, but maybe you cannot deal enough damage at that level and would Struggle to death even with perfect crits. It wouldn't be fun to play. My opinion is that skipping Game Corner with the Poké Doll glitch is cheating. The speedrunning community is wrong. I agree with Jrose11 there, but I had that opinion before I knew of his. FRLG makes knowing your encounters easier, but I think that the Fighting Dojo Hitmonlee and the Silph Co. Lapras both count as a Safferon City encounter. But hey, your run, your rules.
The video had good narration as usual. My favorite line was about Persian getting a crit bite "because that stupid cat is fast." The "Yellow Special Pikachu Edition" graphic in the top right is cute. I wasn't a fan of the Peta gimmick, but that's just because I don't like them. I know you don't either, but even has a joke, I found it, unpleasant. I did know all of the trivia sections, but that's only because I've played this gen way too much. I find it very cool that you included the trivia for those people who don't know these games. I liked the Safari Zone and Surfing Pikachu bits.
Anyway, this was a cool idea for a video and I enjoyed it enough to offer some (hopefully) constructive criticism. It made me wonder what a minimum battles nuzlocke would look like. (Including skipping all possible wild battles. Catching is battling too.) Interestingly enough in this gen, that would mean you do fight the Marowak as a wild battle, if you don't allow the Poké Doll glitch.
I will typically use the same number of pokemon as gym leaders most of the time now.
For the brock fight: the only moves geodude knows are tackle and rock throw. Tackle can do around 15% and rock throw 30% to pikachu. A crit quick attack from pikachu does at most 16%. So assuming perfect crits, he could defeat geodude, maybe with one of his moves missing, but then the onix would be impossible I feel.
For the Game corner skip, I can see how some might feel that as cheating, but I barely play gen 1 anymore so I wanted to go for it. In reality, it didn't really save much time anyway.
For the miminum battles, I did do something kind of like that in ORAS some time ago, where I could only use each pokemon a single time. Meaning if I used them in a battle, they would be counted as "dead". As you might imagnine, I couldn't do that as a nuzlocke, so I eventually had to relax the one pokemon per route rule. But I still thought it was a good run.
Thanks for all your comments here, I really appreciate it! Now I'm curious, did you play gen 1 a lot growing up or is it more recent?
@@NuzlockeJoe Both actually. My first ever video game was Red at the age of 6. I chose Bulbasaur because the manual said it was the best. Reset at Brock when I had Leech Seed (not realizing how good it was) and went with Squirtle. Played around with Missingno. after beating the game and I restarted my game after beating it to do the Mew glitch. (Then got traded a Lv 100 from my neighbor before I caught my own so I thought I was special for having 2 Mew's.) Now I know enough to get as many of any pokémon.
I got away from Pokémon after middle school with Emerald as my last game because I didn't want to bug my mom for a DS. Came back to playing gen 1 around 2018 with watching Jrose11, PChal and learning about Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) glitch item 8F. That last one made me start playing again. There's a lot of complex documentation on it and I was able to use it to finally join Team Rocket like I wanted to do when that Nugget Bridge rocket asked me when I was 6 and steal everyone's pokémon. That took me 3 months to learn how to get everything set up in the game and although it was already well documented I still typed up a 20+ page guide for myself and shopping lists for the items I needed to do the glitch. I had to return to the Poké Center after every battle to keep the code working and I fought everyone in the game on that run. (I now know a method where that is not required, so I could probably do it again in 1 month or less.) I stole all E4's pokémon by beating them 6 times and did the same to Prof. Oak, who I always have as the final battle when I play gen 1 now.
I've now beaten RBY multiple times and my first ever nuzlocke was a hardcore of Green. I can't read Japanese so I used my memory of learnsets and animations. Only had a death to accidentally fighting the Route 6 Butterfree. More recently I got into the Pokered disassembly project on github, adding new pokémon, updating trainer rosters, and you can even add new moves and types and update the battle mechanics. I built myself a vs, Lv 100 ROM with no other changes as well as a few other ROMs to add other pokémon.
Lmao to genzees and zoomers know who tf Che Guevara is lmao
Oh yea he’s the singer from rage against the machine right
Basically the same person, right?
4:00 lol it's absolutely NOT "literally impossibile"... It's merely very unlikely. You can find at bare minimum one example here on RUclips. I ran some Monte Carlo simulations to figure out the best strategy in terms of Growls and Tails Whips etc, and it turns out it has a success rate of few percents, but far away from zero.
Dear Arceus, if I find annoying when people use "literally" not literally.
Perhaps it is not impossible, but I doubt it's even a 1% chance that it happens. If you have an example of it happening here on YT by all means let me know, but considering that pikachu does at most a whopping 8% to geodude with quick attack while he can do almost a third with rock throw, yeah I'm gonna say its basically not gonna happen. And thats not even looking at onix, who pikachu does at most like 5% damage too.

LeckaMon did that
First comment on a Nuzlocke Joe video!
Special feelings aside, I do enjoy your pokemon runs!
Thanks!
This video is totally suspicious. How did Gary ended up with Vaporeon since you:
-Lost the lab battle
-Won the (second) optional battle
The rival should be having a Flareon instead.
So I'm no expert in how the rival's eevee evolves, but according to bulbapedia if you lose the lab battle, you will get vaporeon, regardless of the route 22 battle.
