The video took a long time, becauseI was sick for some time and had a lot of stuff to do. Sorry! But it's finally here!

[@bateltheassistant]

I hope that you're okay now,and you're feeling well.😊

[@chooseastarter]

Yes I feel better, thanks for asking!

[@PokemonWoop]

This is really well made! Surprised it has so few views Also big props to you for playing through Diamond and Pearl (the slowest games ever)

[@chooseastarter]

Thank you very much! I have some ideas why I have the view number I have. But thank you for these kind words! And yes, DP are terrible optimized. Reading your comment, I have the video in mind where Infernape uses Close Combat against Blissey. It took so long, you can make a coffee, and drink it too!

Them: We've got an elite four Mono ground run: We've got a garchomp

[@chooseastarter]

Some time after the run I felt a bit bad that I used Garchomp, since it's so good, and if played correctly (which I didn't do) Garchomp alone could potentially destroy the Elite Four including Champion under Hardcore Nuzlocke rules.

[@harbour08]

@chooseastarter yeah I did a fire red nuzlocke and didn't evolve kadabra for that reason. My biggest thing is that you guys have fun with your work

[@frnzilla]

I'm enjoying your video man.( I'm commenting this while in the middle of the video lol). I'm always happy to find new PokeTubers; even happier when they're the underdogs of the platform. 💪🏾 I'm happy to be your 42nd subscriber. 😄

[@chooseastarter]

Thank you very much! I'm trying to improve with each video :)

[@chooseastarter]

More content is on the way. Video is nearly complete and I try to have it online as soon as possible.

Nicely done 👏👏👏🫡. You did it,and it only took you 2 deaths, which is really good. It's really hard to have no deaths with the final battle with Cyrus. So having only one death in that battle is really good. That must mean you were fully prepared for that run well done😊. And yeah,some players prefer to ban Garchomp because it is really good. But like you've said earlier, if the rng was different or if you weren't fully focused on that battle (I have lost a lot pokemons like that in nuzlockes😅),the run could have ended with Cynthia.

[@chooseastarter]

Thank you! I've reseted a bunch on Gardenia, because Grotle wasn't able to win the battle Garchomp is way too strong, and I only tried to use it on the battles which seemed impossible otherwise. The worse part of this run were the battles which needed setup. While doing it, it felt very crazy and some preparation went into it, but when the strategy is exeggcuted, it felt "very easy" and was over in a second.

[@bateltheassistant]

@@chooseastarter yeah,once you're in the battle, playing, whenever you're going for the set up strat , you kind of always hope that the opposing pokemon won't have a crit,or some kind of insane luck .🤔 So it's not that easy,as some may think. And sometimes completing a nuzlocke takes a lot of tires,but it's super rewarding isn't it?☺️

[@chooseastarter]

Yes, exactly!
