Can Ash Ketchum Beat a Battle Frontier ROM HACK?

Can Ash Ketchum Beat the Battle Frontier?
The battle frontier is one of the few challenges Ash Ketchum was able to overcome in this 20+ years as a 10 year old.
Basically, he returned to Kanto to find and defeat seven frontier "brains" winning symbols along the way. Its similar to a typical gym leader challenge, though there is not league tournament for ash to lose in.
Anyway, I decided to play through this ROM Hack which follows the anime's version of the battle frontier quite well, to see if ash should have been able to win using the pokemon that he did. Lets find out!

1:22 To be fair to ash, Type Immunities in the anime are pretty inconsistent... Especially when it comes to normal types

[@NuzlockeJoe]

That’s valid, but ash even recognizes that he at least knew about it and just forgot. Agatha’s next line was “how could you forgot a thing like that” or something like that. I thought it was pretty funny, but didn’t want to use anime scenes that are too long

[@Niall_Sene]

Pretty entertaining video, though it was shorter than expected, I enjoyed your episode title puns. Looking forward to the Sinnoh chapter.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah the other episodes in the series tended to be a bit longer, but this Rom hack is fairly short so I didn’t feel like stretching it longer than necessary

[@Niall_Sene]

​@@NuzlockeJoethat makes sense, still a great video though.

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Love the video Can't wait for DP

[@PikaFilmStudios]

YOOOO this is the hack i mentioned😮

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yup! As soon as I saw your comment I went looking and found it pretty quick! That was a great suggestion

[@rb4734]

Nice vid as always! Keep m coming

[@franciscojaviercastellanoe4289]

I can't wait for the Sinnoh Region!!!! Good video. I love this series!!!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thanks! The next sinnoh video is actually going to be Paul Platinum, though ash will be featured in it, as the bumbling rival to the far superior Paul.

[@elifretty1018]

First comment or at least I think, kinda funny how ash could've won most of his battles if the plot didn't need him to lose or just was smarter on which pokemon he brought

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah the anime can get weird with trying to find ways for ash to lose. The worst example is probably the sinnoh league.

[@JustJamieonYT]

"and there was much rejoicing... yaaay" hahahha

[@SoarsGaming11]

When are you gonna do another Non-Stab Hardcore Nuzlocke? I like the one you did with Fire Red

[@NuzlockeJoe]

TBH, I hadn't planned on it. I did really enjoy it and thought it was super unique, but the views just weren't there for it. Maybe I could try it again in Hoenn at some point, we'll see.

[@roggie839]

Brandon got lucky Ash didn't use mind crush on him 😂

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah that whole episode is a bit weird and kinda random.

[@MrSonicHedgehog]

I can hardly wait for the Platinum ROM so I can do an anime run on it

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Unfortunately, its gonna be a bit of a wait. I'm hoping to have it out by the end of the year, but first I need to complete my Paul Platinum run.

[@MrSonicHedgehog]

@@NuzlockeJoe understood

I have used dragon type attacks on fairy types. Forgot of the immunity.

[@IAmDaFlare]

YOOOOOO NO LEAUGE NOO

[@mikzey1083]

Will there be more Ash challenge videos ?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Of course! I hope to get it done over summer when I have a bit more time to learn gen 5 hacking

[@mikzey1083]

@@NuzlockeJoe can’t wait :)

[@Gameboy_Graci]

Very cool! Good job trying to stick to the story also. Some of those fights would have been too easy otherwise.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah definitely.

[@IsaiahFisher19]

I made my own Pokemon rom hack based of fire red where you play as ash ;)

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thats awesome! I did that with hoenn, but started this series in gen 1.

[@IsaiahFisher19]

@@NuzlockeJoe ohh that’s so cool since ash gray already exist I decided not to base it off the animie and just give a unique experience entirely

[@kukikuki2897]

Comedy gold

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thanks!

[@MarkofWisdom]

I'm quite amused seeing the shortened names for the leaders- "Ftier Brain". Ash truly is a moron with how often he throws away or boxes his best pokemon, or actively sabotages himself. I wonder if it's on purpose and he hates himself or thinks he shouldn't get to win for some reason

[@fr4t3lli-38]

Ash is a hardcore masochist

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I have no idea. Like glalie is wayyyyy better than half the other crap I was forced to use in this run. Especially compared to corphish lol.

[@healthylemons3685]

Have a fun video idea. What if you Beat pokemon yellow, but you have to use a piano.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Can't say I'm familiar with that pokemon. And here I thought I knew all 150!

[@healthylemons3685]

??? Pokemon yellow game, is it a Pacific pokemon

[@marionbenson6094]

Pokemon horizons is actually very good and also how are you doing ?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I actually haven’t really seen horizons, I’m sure I’ll actually watch it eventually. For me, still in the process of moving, selling and buying a house. But the new baby is doing fine!

[@marionbenson6094]

Good i hope it goes well for you and your baby

[@PikaFilmStudios]

frontier brains not battle brains though

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thats true, but battle brain has much better alliteration.

[@deshawntaylor9201]

Agatha is more experiences than ash so it's no surprise he lost.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah, but he should know not to quick attack a gengar

[@hawkeye2958]

He had 24 badges, participated in 3 (maybe 4) championships, travelled through the Orange Islands, and yet forgot one of the most basic type immunities in the entire series. Ash really is just dumb

[@azizulhakimabir2916]

What about an orange island adventure? There is orange island adventure, orange island and pokemon ash orange as rom hack.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I didn't think about it at the time, because that was the start of my ash series. I do plan on going back to do it, but I might just do ash gray which I believe has the orange islands too.

[@azizulhakimabir2916]

@@NuzlockeJoe in Ash grey orange island is not complete. Orange island adventure is the completed hack because I have played them both. Anyhow, best of luck with the series 🙂

[@ally1234302]

I wish he did sinnoh frontier

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I haven't gotten to sinnoh yet, but hopefully will before too long.

[@jacyhoogvliets5716]

doesn't electvire have moter drive as an abilty?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

He does, but this rom hack was based on gen 3, so even though they put in an electivre sprite, it looks like they didnt make the motor drive ability, since it didnt exist yet.

[@Giga-lemesh]

Veey interesting

[@alakazamlover4908]

your lowkey making me wanna skip Johto, go right to binging the advance series of the anime so i can get to battle frontier (I own orange island through battle frontier on DVD)

[@NuzlockeJoe]

IDK, Johto is still pretty solid!

[@adilmao_]

1:15 fr like bro he travelled this much and he used normal type move like a beginner

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I know, right? When I was ten I knew you couldn't use quick attack on a ghost. And I barely ever left my house!

[@adilmao_]

but it dosent really matters now cus he finally became a champion lets just ignore it cus after that he improved ALOT

[@stvcherenfant]

Where's the Sinnoh journey?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

The current plan is to have it out next Month. The run is complete, but putting in all the anime scenes I want to and all takes some time.

[@stvcherenfant]

@@NuzlockeJoe I definitely understand. I'm actually my own video series based on the anime, with custom sprites. But it'll be quite difficult from yours so I'll definitely let you know when I'm ready to upload it.
