Clean lines, perfect calcs, how smart can a person be 🔥 i have my fingers crossed, maybe for u to be named with one of the best nuzlocke moments of 2024, either the heist of Tate & Liza, or the demolition of the run and bun E4. You deserve the fame and the first place 🔥🔥🔥
It’s always interesting brainstorming how double battle AI behaviour could be improved to make it harder. My example is at 3:25 where the ai can see kills on hitmonlee with both, and it can also see that hitmonlee fast ohkos kang, as well as the fact that staraptor and kang can ohko both with a single move each (hammer arm and close combat respectively) so an alternative play with all that knowledge (given sandslash has protect) is to double into hitmonlee with hammer arm and close combat. I guess this also opens up being exploitable in other ways but I’ve always wondered when it would actually be optimal to double up into a mon (particularly if it fast ohkos one of your own but is fast ohkos by the other like in this case)
My main reason for this thinking is that’s probably what I would consider as an option in an open team sheet vgc match with these lineups which forces the opponent to make a play
Alternatively maybe brave bird+ hammer arm is better because it not only guarantees a kill on hitmonlee without switching (thus saving kang) but also covers for sandslash not protecting or hitmonlee switching out
@@CharlieGreasby no worries, I’ve also had a lot of interest in how double battles AI contributes to difficulty etc! I think all double battles AI has always been ‘exploitable’ in certain situations which I think is fine. The way you’d stop it being exploitable is by making things very random which isn’t something I think I’d enjoy as much; there’s a fine line with chance contributing to interesting gameplay and between it undermining a Nuzlocke experience i think… either way the doubles Ai in this game makes for the most complex doubles lines I’ve ever had to plan
Purrlequin was right there, Byonemil. In any case, both this series and R&B are amazing shows of skill with very polished presentation. The pixel art (which I think is your work as well?) is gorgeous. It's only a matter of time before this channel gets the popularity it deserves, looking forward to you hitting 100k.
Purrlequin is super nice, good one! And thank you dude I really appreciate it ☺️ the early pixel art on the channel was other artists but recent stuff e.g the outro screen has all been me yes, will be taking that even further on the finale for the Lucid series!
I've been counting your frags and so far Starmie is in the lead with 18 frags followed closely by Nidoking with 17, and then Houndoom with 14. In terms of total fights they've been brought to, Togedemaru absolutely demolishes everything else with 29 fights, with second being Hitmonlee with 17 and third being a 3 way tie for 14 fights by Hippowdon, Drednaw, and Starmie.
Woah dude that’s sick! No pressure to continue as that’s a huge time commitment but if you do complete that you should let me know I’d be very curious!
@@Byonemil I'm basically just watching your youtube videos with a spreadsheet pulled up, so there will be a few early game fights that I didn't get full data for. Still, these frags should be accurate for at least the fights that you determined were interesting enough to put on youtube.
I didn't realise the gym order in this game was also different, what's the full gym order? Are there other changes to the game or just routing? Also holy fuck the new encounters are insane
But you could still Fake Out the tinka even if it had covert cloak right? It just blocks secondary effects of moves, so it would still deal damage, it just wouldn't flinch, but it would definitely kill at that range, it was practically at one, no?
Usually BST weekday evenings and random times on the weekend but I’ve been on hol recently and now I’m back but focusing on RUclips for a bit so haven’t been live for a lil while
Just came across ur channel from r&b e4 which was some of the coolest lines ive ever seen. Is there a reason you dont make the big production quality videos to summarise/cap off your runs at the end like moxi/pchal/drxx. I think your explanation and storytelling is fantastic so you would definitely have a lot to add
@@Byonemil yea those ones are the fan games I wanted to mention because they are the hardest things Ive ever done and I still havent beat reborn, but Ive beaten rejuvenation, and both are so hard. So im wondering if its harder than games like run and bun hardcore nuzlocked. (All fights are possible so Its possible but I havent seen someone actually do one).
I swear man I have trouble playing R&B and lucid without hardcore Nuzlocke rules and you just make it look easy, good work man!

Forgive my waffling I’m just super interested in this stuff lol

Nice to see you being able to use some fun gen 9 mons like meow and lokix
Yeah they’re crazy good

The run is cracked
🔥🔥
You deserve way more views and subs you make great content
Aw thanks Payne, I’m sure we’ll get there 🔥 journey has been fantastic regardless and I’m really enjoying where I’m at :)
How did you teach U-turn to Meowscarada? According to the docs it's learned only at level 72 or by TM, but you get it much later
L O L - patch smuggling. Late uturn is a nerf implemented in a patch after I got meow.
I didn't realise the gym order in this game was also different, what's the full gym order? Are there other changes to the game or just routing?
Also holy fuck the new encounters are insane
Rox, Brawly, Watty, Juan, Steven, Winona, TnL & Flannery!
But you could still Fake Out the tinka even if it had covert cloak right? It just blocks secondary effects of moves, so it would still deal damage, it just wouldn't flinch, but it would definitely kill at that range, it was practically at one, no?
By the way, what times do you usually stream?
Yep still would do damage I was probably just paranoid about the range haha

I’ll be taking my first stab at it with Lucid! Appreciate the support ❤️
You can do it! @Byonemil
You're so damn good at these hard nuzlockes. Love the content!
Cheers wonderboy and thank you for tuning in!
THE RUNN!!!!!
Would you ever do a fan game nuzlocke? I don't see many people doing that type of stuff anymore, especially the hard ones.
Which ones do you mean?
@@ByonemilI know people say that reborn and rejuvenation are supposed to be difficult with all the unique field terrains they have.
@@Byonemil yea those ones are the fan games I wanted to mention because they are the hardest things Ive ever done and I still havent beat reborn, but Ive beaten rejuvenation, and both are so hard.

@@poopggslol8953I know terrra has beaten reborn along with a few other people, but I don’t know about rejuvenation.
omg this is it
