Can I Beat Pokémon Emerald with Ruby's MANGA Team? - Hardcore Nuzlocke Challenge

[@magnuspkmn]

Ruby is the biggest chad in the manga. Tanking a Dragon Claw to the face from a Salamence at 6 years old, & then kicking its ass with a skitty, effortlessly winning every contest (except ones Wallace competed in) he actually gets the girl as he & Sapphire are a canon object in the ORAS manga, he's just the coolest pokespec protagonist

[@michaelcarlton1484]

Should have brought out the Celebi that Ruby had in his bag the whole time. XD

[@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735]

Who somehow rewrote everything, reviving steven, marge, and norman.

[@andrewwelch5302]

Man, I can't wait to see Norman hold Magnus by the throat over a precipice followed by Magnus blasting a bazooka at him. Not mentioning Flannery's gym challenge where you have to save her from death by drowning. ...the Pokemon Manga is dark, man.

[@magnuspkmn]

The manga was dark!! The games barely even touched 1% of its story! Norman's involvement with the Rayquaza incident is completely ignored and he's just a generic gym leader in the games😑

[@oakgreenoak]

​@@magnuspkmnconsidering the games come first and the manga (loosely) adapt them, isn't it... not quite correct to imply the games left anything out?

[@Pokeonrocks5]

Norman WHAT

[@arenbuffaloe6578]

​@Pokeonrocks5 Watch or read Ruby vs Norman in the manga. That first look almost tells you everything you need to know about the encounter to come...

[@PokeBrave]

Loved when Norman went on a Manhunt for Ruby across the entire region 😂

[@pokehorror7777]

The Hoenn Arc of the manga was the best arc in the manga (so far, currently still reading through DPP arc). Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald are some of the best characters❤

[@Silvermoon424]

It's not my personal favorite (I have a bias towards arcs that star/feature Red, Blue, and Green; I do still REALLY love the Ruby/Sapphire arc tho) but I do think that it's the best-written arc of the manga. There's a reason why it's so popular among fans. Man, I want to reread it now!

[@magnuspkmn]

Personally Red and Blue will always have a special place in my heart, and Yellow to me is so iconic. I love when they have a gimmick like Yellow's fishing rod or Black's Munna clearing his mind.

[@serenitynow85]

It is my favorite, too. Ruby is such a cool character, love his arc. From his background story to his whole daddy issues. Everyone dying at the end is unexpected for a Pokémon story. ORAS is crazy as well My second favorite arc is Black and White. Great characters, just like Ruby and Sapphire

[@chefgrizz6284]

Gigas chokeslamming dialga and palkia was clean in sinnoh tho

[@mjm3091]

Nah all the eras are good, especially as we get updates on most of the characters as the story progresses. Personally my favourite is still the Sun and Moon era.

[@Pixilm8]

Synchronizing the modest nature was so smart!! looking forward to sapphires!!

[@magnuspkmn]

Appreciate you Pixil!! My jaw dropped when I saw Modest on Ralts, too bad I couldn't use it on the Castform from the Weather Institute! Love your Pokemon XG video btw, I've never played Pokemon XD but it was really cool to see the shadow mechanics and the enemy teams with enhanced teams!🙌

[@GumyShark]

i love the manga, especially the ruby and sapphire arc, so this series has been so fun to me to watch! i think my favorite thing about the ruby/sapphire arc is how quickly it goes from “haha they’re doing a fun timed challenge/bet against the other :)” to “OH GOD OH NO THIS IS ALL GOING WRONG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!”

[@rubyhoenn]

Nice nuzlocke, was happy to see someone do it with Ruby's team! :D Can't wait for the other dexholders!

[@magnuspkmn]

It was so fun! Of course Milotic was a blast but even Delcatty, Mightyena, and Plusle pulled their weight!

[@Mauriciflow]

For future contest hall endeavors, you can obtain a blue, pink, green, red, and yellow scarf by showing the chairman of the Pokémon fan club in slateport city a Pokémon with a maxed out stat in the respective category

[@Mauriciflow]

By having a Pokémon hold a scarf, it will boost the attention it receives in the first portion of the contest judging

[@saifjebeniani]

THE WAIT IS OVER!! 🎉

[@magnuspkmn]

It's finaly here!! I took an extra week to get it done but I'm super proud of the editing and planning that went into this one! Appreciate you being here ☺

[@leviadams8777]

This was a cool video and you had some fun edits as well! Definitely would appreciate more time to breath with some moments though. Like when fighting Salamence. All around good work though!

[@magnuspkmn]

I appreciate the insight! I naturally talk really fast, so I've been working on slowing down my pace. I made the mistake of focusing my last two videos on having faster pacing because I thought the viewer retention was dipping from a slower pace, but I can see that I was wrong. My goal now is to make them feel more like video essays!

[@pupperhoni]

The edits? Commentary and gameplay? So glad this flew into my recommendations 💙

[@magnuspkmn]

I'm glad you enjoyed! Appreciate you being here 🤗

[@ashtails5985]

Man I love how high quality everything is on this channel! Magnus keep up the good work! I can’t wait for the Yellow and Green video!

[@magnuspkmn]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! I finished the Green video, it's up on my channel! I gotta start planning the Yellow one soon!

[@ashtails5985]

@@magnuspkmn Of course Magnus! I meant to say the Yellow video 😅 sorry about that!

[@magnuspkmn]

Hey no worries at all, no need to apologize!! I'm excited for Yellow, she's probably my favorite in the series!

[@ashtails5985]

@@magnuspkmn I’m excited to see that video!

[@Religion0]

Top tier editing on the Watson fight.

[@Amay_jpeg]

This is my favorite series ever! I love the manga and when watching playthrougs I wondered a lot how their team would perform, I adore also your style in doing it and the video overall (also waited patiently to be able to comment in a video of these series) thanks for doing it and sharing it ✨️🍊

[@magnuspkmn]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! Me too!! Especially with Gold's team being so awful, and even someone like Blue, I always wondered how easy it would be for him to beat the game since he chose better team members.

[@joegreen3802]

That was definitely a fun run to watch. Though word of warning, in the future when you get to Dia, he has a Munchlax on his team.

[@albertmunt6943]

wow thanks for the video. I like your videos and enjoy watching them. I particularly think the Manga, or story ideas are very successful. thumbs up

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

18:41 - to be fair, you had a Swampert, Gardevoir, and Milotic to work with, the remaining team slots could play support rather safely lmao

[@nickperry9051]

Absolutely love these videos, keep up the great work I know they take awhile to work on but they’re worth it!!!

[@blaineweaver1300]

Great job! Pretty strong team for a co-ordinator honestly

[@joshuazoppa6078]

I love these videos! Thank you for your time and dedication to the manga!

[@magnuspkmn]

I appreciate you!! Thank you for being here! The manga will always have a special place in my heart from my childhood! Thank goodness my parents bought those for me to fuel my Pokemon addiction, they thought it would be better than my eyes glued to a screen 😂

[@jesusarusrex]

Recently subscribed. I’m loving your videos. The story telling is great and I love hearing about the difference in the manga from the show.

You gotta do Wally’s team next he’s the goat in the manga ngl

[@ualli]

This was a great video to watch! I love the manga panels being incorporated into the video! Love your content!

[@WiiFan-1300]

4:31 Amazing editing! 😂 I also love how the faded out ending goes into the gym theme

[@Silberklaue]

That submarine burn.. perfect :D Thank you for your videos, I've been having a blast with the Manga-story and Gameplay combination!

[@texasgaming7457]

It's time for retaking those challenges, if Magnus could so do I

[@PirvateerKurei]

Manga Ruby's team was really powerful and well trained, a true coordinator since he had combat training turned into Contest training

[@Redstorm_Mars]

I love your videos man! They're awesome, plus it's so cool seeing your channel grow more and more with each video, I'm proud of you man! Awesome work, keep it up!

[@giovahny_negron]

This video editing was awesome! You can notice the effort and dedication to do it. So fun to watch it. Keep it with the hard work and wish you the best!

[@jordywatson1179]

I actually did this with one step ahead i played Omega ruby as Ruby and getting the right gender for each one and I played fire red using reds team getting the correct natures and gender anyway amazing run my dude

[@davidshowalter120]

This was awesome! I'm so impressed with your content. This is really great stuff and so fun to watch. Thanks, Magnus! Looking forward to the next one!

Fire thumbnail can’t wait to watch this later

[@magnuspkmn]

Appreciate you!! I was brainstorming the thumbnail for a while! I'm glad you like it!

[@SonNguyen-cu4gf]

I wonder what kind of content you will do next after you've done all the manga/anime teams

[@magnuspkmn]

I've got a few ideas outside of the manga teams! I'll stick to themed runs, probably not Type Only runs. I feel like those are a little oversaturated and hard to tell a story around.

[@animevivaciousstudios3015]

Amazing video bro🎉

Nice edit at 4:45

[@magnuspkmn]

Thank you!! I had a lot of fun cooking that part up

[@CrowInAHoodie]

Only managed to get up to right before the hoenn arc ended, I could never find the final hoenn arc book and it pained me so much- I really wanna finish the series lmao Ruby was always my fav character lol

[@Queefersutherland97]

I did this run a couple years ago and I loved using castform I dreaded it initially but it’s pretty fun

[@blackrapier713]

But did you REALLY beat a nuzlocke following Manga Ruby if you didn't got all of the ribbons?

[@mattgiannecchini15]

Literally got vol 8 of the manga yesterday I think its better than the anime

[@morais9974]

I have fallen in love whit this challenge that you are doing and it is really fun to see. And i cant wait to see more of this ❤

You just came up on my page and I’m definitely glad ya did. I think I’ve watched all the nuzlockes from other channels and this theme is AWESOME. Insta-sub

It was cool for you to play as Ruby through Emerald. But would it be possible to play as Ruby through the Omega Ruby game? Since the ORAS manga has also been released and I think it would be interesting.

Boy do I have the surprise for you tomorrow!!

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Awesome video Team really did exceed expectations

[@UnwantedSteel]

This is entertaining for those who are stoned, great vid now if u excuse me I gotta eat my chick fil aa

Ruby and Gold are my favorites from manga. I’ve done this run a lot but I give myself only an hour to catch FeFe and if not I roll with plus. This is your best one yet keep up the great content. Ps is there any secrets to uping chance encounters on fefe on Emerald??

[@rayanreece1287]

Bro is on his grownig ark Keep up the good work😊😊

Ruby and Sapphire is my favorite arc, and ruby not a fighter? its true that he chooses the contest route, but he is a very strong fighter.

Are you gonna do Kris next? I really love Johto Arc

[@phoenixblade8315]

Can’t wait for black

[@leo15878]

I was anticipating a *spoiler* Celebi easter egg at the end as the ending touch towards the manga which rounds up the beginning of the series, mentioning Ruby is actually just moved from Johto to Hoenn When shits unfixable, try go back in time LOL

[@edwinbuana555]

i bassicly used Sapphire's team on my Sapphire, Emerald & Alpha Sapphire so i can say it's a good team

[@magnuspkmn]

Sapphire's team looks so fun! I can't wait to use Aggron and Tropius!

[@edwinbuana555]

​@@magnuspkmngonna be honest i always get my Aggron as Lairon from the Victory Road 🤣🤣🤣

[@magnuspkmn]

Not from Granite Cave? Aron's always my unintentional Brawly sacrifice in casual playthroughs🤣

[@edwinbuana555]

​​@@magnuspkmn somehow i always go for the Victory Road 1 since it much easier to evolve it 🤣🤣🤣

[@edwinbuana555]

​@@magnuspkmn if i not wrong in Emerald you can easily get Minun but on Sapphire & Alpha Sapphire it hard to get 1

[@inainaina520]

Funny As far as I remember, the translation of the manga in my region(Hong Kong). The nicknames for Swamper, Milotic and Castform are Zuzu Mimi and Popo. Is it different for every version?😂

[@magnuspkmn]

There are actually two major translations! One is from VIZ Media and the other is from Chaung Yi. Chuang Yi's has the nicknames you mentioned, and also have some major differences like Blue & Green reversed. I grew up reading the VIZ Media one so I used those as my nicknames.
