[@TheShadow1347]

Karen was correct about winning with your favorite Pokemon

[@FioreFire]

If everyone has more favorites than can fit in one team, mandating that they all be used at some point rather than allowing anyone to just sweep the game with whatever uber-tier they like most would've made the most sense

[@ryanlequia1617]

I see what you mean but I think forcing that rule would either result in people wasting a lot of time on stream leveling up pokemon that would only be useful in one fight or just not leveling the weaker ones and letting them die, so pretty much just using the same strong pokemon anyways

[@bidoof367]

if i used only my 6 favorite pokemon id only have one usable one

[@zoleriibaenre8365]

​@@ryanlequia1617 they have a level cap candy though? They don't have to level grind at all

[@MegaMew204]

I did this in a couple challenge runs for B2 (I've done nearly every possible monotype on official hardware). Like Dragon I did not plan on using flygon. I TECHNICALLY can do Rock.... It'd be difficult cause I'd need to get Shuckle through Dream Radar but even then I'd only have... Shuckle, Onix, Gigalith, Crustle, and like... Corsola....

[@SiebayPlays]

I personally don’t pick my favorites for their power. I just go based purely on their designs. I’ve done a run with every bear pokemon in the game and all of them have a weakness to fighting.

[@JeezAlax]

Of course one of Jaiden's favorite Pokémon is Salamence. She's gotta be prepared for any chance Palkia encounters.

[@Kuronosa]

Salamence-type

[@ojasvijain8051]

If only I had a Salamance No more

[@Martini_1911]

Kidd has ascended and turned Onix's biggest weakness into its biggest strength: dying in one hit to an ice move

[@SkullTheLegless]

I actually can't get over jaidens top 10 consisting of aggron, blaziken, gastrodon, slither wing, mega rayquaza, actual rayquaza, giratina (origin), skeledirge, galarian zapdos, and JOLTIK In a team of powerhouses, one cute lil' arachnid stands proud

[@papyrusplays6021]

Because joltik is awesome

[@beatzdyer]

Wait she likes mega rayquaza unironically? As in she likes it's design and not that it's stupid OP?

[@goop7]

Joltik is a tick

[@Following1000]

Honestly, having a Gen 3 race where the win condition is ‘Defeat Wallace’ and then playing Ruby/ Sapphire instead of Emerald is such a huge strat.

[@HexagonCircle341]

all Ruby/Sapphire players: "why are we not ending at the champion?"

[@metalapplesus]

"No no, you're fighting Wallace's Emerald fight" Me playing through Delta Episode ORAS:

[@evankretz1103]

Your run is definitely more interesting than watching a legendary kill everything for hours

[@Federou7]

Agreed. It isn't much of challenge in that case

[@Mech299]

Onix is basically Sean Bean in Kidd's Nuzlockes, and not gonna lie, I'm here for it. I love it. XD I think that it wouldn't be a bad idea to name him Bean in a future game as a nod to that xD

[@JeezAlax]

"Do I really want to leave all my favorite Pokémon behind like that? Of course not." I find it hilarious how this is the polar opposite of what (internet sensation) Alpharad would have done. Jacob would say "Of course I would!" and immediately cut to him sweeping the entire League with some busted 'mon.

[@bigtastybacon_xd6253]

Nice vid. Would have been nice to know how everyone else was doing at the same type so that we could have known if this was close up to tate and liza. But damn I love all the strategies you ised like tp alakazam or skillswaping slaking.

[@CaptainKiddYT]

Luckily for you, there will be an Alpharad video for that!

[@thunderstar7682]

Major respect to not use your legendary frame one

[@alonsans]

“People should try to win with their favorites” Ok my favorite Pokémon is Rayquaza @ Life Orb Ability: Air Lock EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Dragon Ascent - Dragon Dance - Extreme Speed - V-create

[@sidharthanil3161]

Hard countered by carbinx😂

[@sidharthanil3161]

Diancie if needed

[@alonsans]

@@sidharthanil3161 what a coincidence because my second favorite Pokémon is Gastrodon @ Leftovers Ability: Storm Drain EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD Sassy Nature - Scald - Recover - Toxic - Earthquake

[@TakariSoratoMishiro]

I actually don't have many legendaries I'd consider my favourite pokemon... celebi ig but that's about it. so doing this would be kinda fun, if I had the motivation to figure out how to set it up, which I don't

[@ojasvijain8051]

I will just leave it here in hopes someone drops a simple answer

[@MayHugger]

Of course you can win with just your favourites, I do it all the time, it just happens to be a funny coincidence that all my favourites are also extremely good.

[@dazedmoon8762]

Of course vulpixie was in the lead the whole time, if you have a Miraidon all you need to do is click an electric move for an hour and beat the game

[@wombatpandaa9774]

Okay but these custom sprites are so good

[@dartdevious561]

10:28 that Mr. Mime looks so cursed

[@IAmGalaxian-bi6co]

This really was a "Can I Beat a Nuzlocke with ONLY my Favorite Pokémon?" video.

[@deluxxyfan7tristanwood961]

i would simply win with my favourites (all my favourites are strong because apparently cool or cute looking pokemon end up being strong)

[@foxpokemonforever4775]

Unless they’re a bug that’s not in the Scyther or Volcarona line 😔

[@ojasvijain8051]

​@@foxpokemonforever4775 gen 5 bugs?

[@JustAnotherHaiku]

You know, this is actually a cool idea for a nuzlocke.

[@mikethechaoshost]

You, my friend, have more honor then the other runners in this race.

[@MetaGiga]

Absolutely. There’s going with your “favorites” and going with your *favorites*

[@uberlephrad8218]

"Can I beat a nuzlocke with my favorites?" Shaymin-S, Great Tusk, Iron Valiant, Archaludon, Gliscor and Skeledirge pulling up to the Elite 4 with 0 deaths and the entire region worth of kills.

[@trashpanda2825]

If only Onix had the quick claw. I think it could've survived

[@beaksters]

God dammit now I need to beat emerald kaizo with only bidoofs.

[@nicoscool2333]

my favorite pokemon are alolan raichu lucario sylveon braixen hatterine and miraidon, i think i could

[@CaptainKiddYT]

Streets say Miraidon clears the Hoenn region

[@MetaGiga]

My favorite six Pokémon in order are Dusknoir, Furret, Snom, Eelectross, Sableye, and Decidueye … Well, there’s an ice type there for the dragons

[@CiCodiCadno]

A fellow Dusknoir appreciator!

[@MetaGiga]

@CiCodiCadno My reasons are multiple. Ghost type, awesome cry, awesome Dex entries, looks awesome, smiles at you from behind, and I discovered it by trading with a friend to help his PokeDex when I didn’t know a Reaper Cloth was a trade-evolution item rather than a level-evolution item. I even have a tiny Dusknoir figure in my purse ;v; I was proud to see it was one of the major contenders in the Pokémon battle royal video

[@LillieGhoul]

A fellow Long Boi lover!

[@marihasekura6538]

I never realised how much Requaza looks like the Joker when you use it in the fight ....

[@juanrocollazo]

"God, I hate Juan so much" Me, a Juan: 😭

[@purgatoryproductions310]

ooh, this is such a fun idea!

[@sebastianbjorkman4273]

My 6 favorite pokemon is Breloom, Snorlax, Grovyle, Shaymin, Mr.Rime and Loudred. Would definetly be a fun run for Hoenn to use that squad if I knew how to set it up.

[@anasbinmaalik3739]

well my favorites are inciniroar,landoras therian and flutter mane

[@thatonescarecrow4692]

My top 6 are Cacturne, Shedinja, Falinks, Buzzwole, Golisopod and Reuniclus. Intuition says I'm kinda screwed, but oh well. Also, can someone say, which mod of the Emerald is it? For scientific reasons of course.

[@dismasyves]

This is a cool idea! I'm not a nuzlocker but even just a challenge where I use all of my favorites and don't reuse any of them for gyms would be so fun. Congrats on finishing the run!

[@mrcoal2444]

I like the coincidence that pchal's latest video also started like this

[@oneshotyuri]

I'm sure Comfey sweeps this entire game

[@OneColdRepublican]

I feel like Karen line has been the most meme'd upon in recent years with Pokemon.

[@dragonseth07]

It is a nice sentiment, but she has the misfortune of living in a video game where stats and movepools exist.

[@Brianycus]

I just realized my favorite would absolutely SWEEP this entire run

[@drdoomsday8033]

What about a Nuzlock with only Pokemon you've never used before, I do this on most of my first playthroughs (minus the Nuzlock part), and it lets you appreciate or find the hidden potential of some Pokemon youd never use otherwise

[@drdoomsday8033]

You can beat the game with your favorite Pokémon as evidenced by me beating White with Unfezant and Simipour on my team, I also used Zebstrika until N

[@Bolts17]

Karen is 100% correct, you do not need to rely on the meta to beat the game, VGC? Sure but you can use anyone if your strategy is good enough

[@nanaasante5943]

Been waiting for this video since I saw part of the stream

[@lechonkvgc8857]

my favorite pokemon is mega rayquaza smile

[@liamtherobot9656]

No

[@SammyK-jt3vv]

my favourite is Landorus Therian

[@nobleneed]

Mine is totally eternamax eternatus

[@arnoldo2809]

Crustle with the sturdy against the tentacool

[@TheTrollmasterYT]

I will tell you this much this man has good taste i aint gonna lie😂😂😂

[@jupiteralt]

Funny enough through nuzlocks I gain new favorite Pokemon. Having times when im forced to put all my faith in them time in and out. You get attached fast 😂

[@Connowot387]

I want to do a solo Goomy playthrough now.

[@Fanimati0n]

Can i beat a nuzlocke with my favorites My faves: Emolga, Haxorus, Milotic, Lucario, Garchomp, Gallade, Bisharp, Bellibolt, Lilligant, Samurott. Like, probably?

[@thatdarnseel7052]

I like how we Stolkholm Syndromed him into loving onix

[@horizonbumpy2828]

Imagine adding cap candy instead of trusting people which also has a chance to crash the game...

[@ducki6054]

Kidd is the type of person to get a lottery ticket and get all of the correct numbers in reverse order.

[@roberthansen5727]

Onix man is back!!

[@monarchy028]

My 6 would be: Butterfree (my goat) Excadrill Scizor Volcarona Metagross And umbreon I think there’s 2 types I might just like a bit more than the others…

[@biorapter6779]

yes more content

[@loopiloop]

My favorite is venonat. It is such a round little goober.

[@jellybunz8357]

My favorites are Landorus-Therian and Primal Groudon

[@Xidphel]

Dang! Norman actually got the milk!

[@silvignis2028]

My top 3 ig are Archeops, Noivern, Ho-oh and after that idk who are 4-6 but options are: Jolteon, Floatzel, Sceptile, Koraidon, Articuno, Murkrow, Lugia, Floragato, Fezandipiti, Corviknight, Swellow, Suicune, Rayquaza and Espeon...I love flying types too much

[@markosmywords9202]

My favourite Pokemon are: 1. Mawile 2. Gallade 3. Volcarona 4. Flygon 5. Eelektross 6. Whimsicott I think I could work with this lmao.

[@minhnguyenquang720]

Well, Karen is a Dark-type E4 after all :)))

[@tricmagic]

And now to play Pokemon Rouge with a Squirtle.

[@syan2240]

My favorite pokemon is mega rayquaza, challenge over

[@Arkanemacht]

quick question, how were you all able to change the player/mc sprite?

[@rylibes6455]

Is there a way to randomize the version of emerald that has every Pokémon in it like what y’all are playing ?

[@kotori6938]

Me when my favorite pokemon is wurmple

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

I feel like VGC has shaped my favorites too heavily. I think my weakest favorites would be like typhlosion and meowscarada which aren't exactly bad. Oh actually, i grew kind of attached to hippowdon from one of my teams, he is somewhat mediocre.

[@swharmahgadol69]

For real i thought that he will not mention the "onix clip" for once how foolish of me

[@nusratbulbul8695]

love 9tail

[@intergalactic92]

I can’t help but feel like some people aren’t properly embracing the experiment. Some very suspiciously strong favourites from some of the players.

[@PyroManiac753]

My favorite pokemons are Landorous T and Incineroar.

[@crimsonstormsurge]

I'd have to use falinks and pancham

[@unbreakablelag]

So are you all gonna have a race with your most hated Pokémon next time?

[@foxpokemonforever4775]

Now THAT would be a challenge I’d like to see

[@folasade5453]

I…like strong Pokémon. My favorite Pokemon all happen to be pretty strong, if not relatively decent. I dunno how much of a challenge this would present for me…maybe if I traded them out periodically for other favorites…

[@Brianycus]

As I am doing my Pokemon review marathon, watching these videos while I edit them is so fun. It also teaches me about Poekemon battling so I use them for my reviews too. Really peak stuff here from everyone

[@johnwingdingsg.9558]

If i have manage to do it all the time ,you can do it too

[@AstroBladeZ]

Absolutely

[@Jodine-gl5cr]

How do you all have custom characters??

[@thatponybro6940]

i don't care if Aggron is 4x weak to Fighting, it is still deserving of headpats as any Pokemon are

Ah yes, the waifu eeveelution

[@Spartan_Mello]

Anyone know what mod or version of Emerald this is? Those are really nice quality of life options.

[@brucecipher]

My favorite is Toedscool. I think I can do it :) I believe in myself!

[@localnekonia6830]

My favourite Pokemon is mega ray :)

[@pengikitten]

My favorite pokemon is trapinch bro I'd be dead

[@stephaniehenson8100]

Mr. Mime🤗 my favorite!!

[@LunaRunaSeluna]

bruh... he used mirai and some other legends! you really should have won this! T_T

[@TheStickCollector]

I feel like I would have to know where they are and even get them if they are out of the way. Unmodified it would be hard and probably impractical to get all of them. Depending on if I include any not favorite but for a different team I can't even do it since my battery died.

[@DREKflow]

Does anyone know the version of the Battle Frontier OST that starts playing at 5:25?

[@m05513]

Its the Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Battle Resort

[@DREKflow]

@@m05513 Thank you!

[@horizonbumpy2828]

So many unnecessary changes to a pokemon game just for a race with your favorites

How am I supposed to win with Goomy

12:23 I got jumpscared by Katana Zero music.
