      I'm not sure if we're allowed to give suggestions for videos, or where they're supposed to go, but have you ever considered doing a steel-type nuzlocke of Ultra Moon? I don't think you've done a steel type run yet and there's lots of secondary typings as well as a steel type before the first trial

The third time she didn't heal and she did Poison Jab and luckily due to the affection Gardevoir stayed with one health left and the moonblast the third time did the trick.

    This run hits home. My first run at Pokémon was with Empoleon and I was too young to understand to balance my team, had no internet and understood basically no English. That led to my Empoleon basically being overleveled while my highest other pokemon were ones I caught on Victory Road. At the Elite Four I could not figure out how to beat them as I didn't really know all type weaknesses. I ended up giving up, resetting the game and starting over with Turtwig with who I breezed through the game. Now it's tough to see Empoleon still not reach that hall of fame.

Then one time when I chose Grotle, I let my younger brother play it one night and the next day, I saw he was over at Solaceon Town.

    More Grass monotype runs would be nice, its a challenging type with interesting options. Or, if romhacks are acceptable, Pokemon Unbound. Its honestly not just the best romhack I've played, but one of the best pokemon games in general...

    For anyone curious, it’s pretty easy to beat Roark with just Piplup. It can one shot Cranidos after one Work Up, which I set up on Onix since it does less damage than Geodude.

    Curious to see how you’d achieve a dark run with how they’ve made Spiriromb harder to get

    Loved this video! Since you started with water and got piplup I think it’s only fitting that you try grass or fire next! Grass gives you a lot of options to choose from but fire would be a huge challenge with only 3 options, 4 of you’re using Pearl

    I waited to watch this until beating the game at least once. And wow...this game was a ride. The Elite 4 and Cynthia were absolute walls. My first try at a nuzlocke ended in devastation. Even giving that up and simply trying to beat the game without leveling like a maniac was really tough.
    Great fun overall though. Both to watch and play. Will probably use these games for any random challenges I do actually give a try for.

    A shame that you lost this one (so close, too!), but that's fine. This just shows how tough BDSP is, what with the opposition being prepared like competitive. 18/5, man. Better luck next time, I guess.
    Anyway, with BDSP released now, hopefully we'll see the return of the True Power series!

    • @JBzucc
      @JBzucc 3 года назад

      Ehhh I don't think the literal champion being hard means the rest of the game is, he's literally limiting himself by only using one type of pokemon in a nuzlock format and it's still pretty much a cake walk

  • @BreakTheIce222
    @BreakTheIce222 2 года назад +1

    Water types are probably the strongest in this game. Shellos early on, Magikarp into Gyarados from the first city's old rod, Empoleon, Azumarill, etc. though I'd say before one unlocks the National Dex the Pokedex in this game is particularly lacking/sad. A fire nucklocke would be the worst, aside from Infernape line and Ponyta/Rapidash I can't think of any other fire pokes pre-National Dex (correct me if I'm wrong please).

    Kudos to you! I'm here b/c I lost to Cynthia last night which ruined my run. I switched two pokemon and tried a different strategy and then beat her (I only had 5 going into her match anyway), but not having the W on the Nuzlocke hurts a bit. Can't wait to try again though!
