Can I Beat Pokémon Using Emerald's MANGA Team? (Hardcore Nuzlocke Challenge)

[@vakral9997]

The common theme is they all get baby pokemon in gen 4 and they're all named after emerald frontier brains.

[@magnuspkmn]

You got it! They were really planning ahead when making Emerald's team 🤯

[@peripheralhandshaker]

Another link is the 4 pokemon that was shown are used by the previous dex holders as well. Mr Mime - Crystal Snorlax - Red Mantine and Sudowoodo - Gold.

[@markshaw3711]

@@magnuspkmn Dusclops doesn't get a pre-evo in Gen 4. He gets an evolution.

[@TheShadow1347]

Cool 👍

[@bula0714]

28:58 I guess that thing they all have in common is that all these pokemon were owned by other manga protagonists like Snorlax that was used by Red or Sudowoodo owned by Gold

[@magnuspkmn]

That's a really good answer! I was thinking that they all got baby Pokemon in Gen 4, so the manga may have been setting up a future plot for that. But I really like yours too!

[@michaelcarlton1484]

To be fair, I think there is a thing that implied that Dia's Munchlax is the child of Red's Snorlax and Emerald's Snorlax. So the baby Pokémon thing still holds weight. @@magnuspkmn

[@VeeVolt]

Honestly Respect for your patience man on this run(s) and the editing work was great keep up the good work!

[@mrttam]

Both of your editing is always top tier lol. Respect to both of you

[@diablorose]

Blew thru all your vidoes in like 2 days bc i threw them on my playlist loved them all keep up the great work!!!!

[@veemonfan8102]

The only frontier brains I really remembered were Noland and Brandon. The Anime battles were awesome! Not only did Ash get to battle legendaries, but we also got the Kanto Four back together because of it.

[@shadyeevee]

Yoo let’s goo a new Magnus video!! I’m always hyped when I get the notification that you posted a new video!

[@magnuspkmn]

From the bottom of my heart I appreciate you and all your support!! I'll try and get them up more often 😂

[@shadyeevee]

@@magnuspkmn You’re welcome man! You’re awesome so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

[@Blue_Tsuki]

Love that you are still continue the pokemon manga character pokemon teams, it’s always fun even for ourself doing in our game time. Every pokemon manga fans LOVE THIS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MATE! 💪🏻🙏🏻💪🏻

[@Pokehound1]

I really enjoyed this one magnus , the pacing , the editing just a really good video from start to finish.

[@magnuspkmn]

Appreciate the kind words man!! Loved your Manga Red video btw, if that one did well with your audience, I think Gold's team would be a difficult challenge!

[@Pixilm8]

this has to be your best edited video to date, amazing story telling and Emerald has such a cool team!

[@magnuspkmn]

Appreciate you bro!! That really means a lot especially from an editing god like yourself🤗

[@ProfessorBernardoDornela]

Great edit and choices! One of your best so far, definitely. Congrats Magnus, keep going!

[@Gemini090693]

Mr. Mime is like the secret weapon of every hardcore nuzlocke where it is available

[@ShredderHashira]

I guess emerald’s parents lives we’re cut SHORT

[@psyduckspice]

Great video, glad im not the only one to discover how broken encore is. I hate to think how long adding the Battle Frontier stuff took, well worth it though!

[@savebatsfromscratch]

Again, I really love how you tell the character's story. Also, nice playing!

[@Keydicken]

The RSE manga is the only arc I haven't read, so learning about Emerald for the first time (in the last few years) was really interesting! BTW The nickname theme is The Frontier Brains in Emerald (I thought they were the same in Platinum)

[@k-ffwaygo]

Love your videos, the DJ Akedemiks clip had me dead haha

[@Frightened_Froggy]

The naming theme are Battle Frontier Brains

[@huwukimikato3276]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS！

[@magnuspkmn]

Been cooking this one up for a bit... hope you enjoy! I had a lot of fun with his team!

[@huwukimikato3276]

@@magnuspkmn Yeah I can tell you are having fun with this, but it is a real pain to do a nuzlocke with Battle Frontier, especially because you have to do it over and over again and because of this, A death could be coming any second. I had to turn off the Nuzlocke rule when I'm trying to get the gold because I just died too much Hope you luck and can't wait for your next video

[@Ion275]

This is probably my favorite video of yours so far!

[@ennmoon]

Your videos are always top tier! Love getting to know more about the Pokémon manga!!

[@Pinkietron]

at about 7:00 its really frustrating to see that you hardly weakened sudowoodo at all each time but idk the damage range for your absorbs on it

[@timmaia5082]

Cool content as always, nice to see some Battle Frontier in a nuzlocke! (Gotta say though, a neutral Psychic from Mr. Mime would do more than a 2x effective Shockwave due to STAB)

[@SargeWolf010]

Finally caught up phew now then...

[@dallas8909]

W video as per usual keep up the good work and can’t wait till the next video

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Awesome video Cool to see fight all the way to Steven

[@aniasthompson6]

Outta curiosity: What's the song that played at 20:16?

[@magnuspkmn]

"Glorious Morning" it was from a popular flash game back in the day called Age of War 2

[@kaizoku8087]

I wish there was an emerald rom hack where you can play as emerald’s sprite.

[@melzbellz7768]

I've been waiting for this video now it's here let's gooooo!!!!

[@denverthedummy4573]

I know you were going for "they all get babies" next gen, but you could also go for "They all get a new form (pre-evo/evo) on their team

[@Winningthewormoff]

can't wait to see what comes next, you make great content, keep it up

[@mrharleybear2092]

I Always Lovef Drake now! Be well now!

[@ThatDragonGuy]

Excited for the Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum playthroughs.

[@nickgohan346]

I never expected to hear a chipi chipi remix and the age of war theme in the same video

[@thiffio9134]

Magnus: Are there any Drake fans out there? Me: You dare call him a knockoff dragon master?

[@EasternStory]

3:58 PMD REFERENCE!!!

[@elydraen3459]

Hey man ! Another great video. However, I kinda miss the memes and other skits inserts we got in your first challenges, I feel like you used to put a lot more before and I thought it added something. Of course, I know you don't decide when inspiration strikes, but I wanted to let you know that we (or at least *i*) enjoyed it, just in case you cut down on them because you thought it was annoying or something. Keep up the good work!

[@magnuspkmn]

I appreciate the feedback, that's definitely something that I was thinking a lot about. I remember lots of people saying those memes mixed w nuzlockes was a breath of fresh air. I plan to include more of them going forward just as long as they don't feel forced

[@MarkofWisdom]

I'd still count this run as a win since you beat the game, even if you didn't manage to beat steven because of bad luck with the ancient power boosts he got

[@patientnr.0409]

Ummm, since Emerald has access to Kris' entire roster (who captured all regular Pokemon in all three regions) couldn't you have done a normal hardcore nuzlocke and then build Emeralds true team in the Battle Frontier? He didn't even use it outside the palace and tower.

[@androssuzhaminu8970]

Is going to be interesting how you going to make pearl and diamond manga team in one of your videos. It will be tough on certain challenge. Good luck and have a good time making a video about them.

[@JoeyGiles-g4g]

Keeping absorb over bullet seed would’ve been so much better on grovyle

[@mightymate]

While the sudowoodo strat worked well i say sense you get the old rod in Defward and sense its your only water encounter id say you should have been able to get Mantine

[@AriaSerif]

If I recall right... all the Pokémon are named after characters from the anime series that don't appear in the games.

[@Dude-65]

It's so cool that half of his team are copy's of other Pokedex holders pokemon. Golds sudowudo and mantine reds Snorlax and crys Mr mime

[@thekakeking9400]

It took catching Mr. Mime, and I figured out the naming theme.

[@edra2005]

My favorite moment is when he yeets Ruby and Sapphire from the window

[@javiervjason4561]

Not keeping absorb for Brawly was not smart

[@tuannguyen-kj1sr]

I remember that emerald and red snolax hatch an egg then the egg was given to diamon by pearl dad

[@tuannguyen-kj1sr]

I know i type it wrong english not my first languge

I know only Noland from One Piece, but I never heard of Spenser. As always great content! Thanks!

I love the manga thanks for making this

WHAT IS THE SONG AT 20 MINS, ITS GIVING ME INSANE NOSTALGIA AND I CANT FIGURE OUT WHERE FROM!

[@magnuspkmn]

"Glorious Morning" it was from a popular flash game back in the day called Age of War 2

[@johnathanbowers5433]

Dark Brandon has already been unleashed. lul.

[@mrttam]

they all have a match to the other pokedex holders teams. and also they become babies.

[@Supermateo97]

I’m a simple man. I see Sceptile - I click.

[@88Agumon]

Another banger of a video

[@Its_Daniel-hn6gd]

Why didn't u keep absorb for grovyle?

[@edra2005]

Could you do a part 2 with the battle frontier challenge It doesnt need to be nuzlocke oriented

[@sceptile2794]

I guess I just found my new underrated nuzlocker!

[@eunotv]

I’m surprised you bypassed the thunderbolt tm and the giga drain tm

[@magnuspkmn]

I had Giga Drain for Sceptile, and I had thought about Thunderbolt for Snorlax, but I already had 4 moves and also Shock Wave on Mr. Mime for all the Double Team spammers

[@eunotv]

@@magnuspkmn definitely makes sense please that substitute and calm mind combo it didn’t even matter 👏🏾

[@SahilZamanNirjon]

9:00

[@K4k3e]

Having only dragons on his team Drake bodies both Lance and Claire when talking dragon masters Also find Claire way more forgettable than Drake but i do find Drazna more memorable than Claire so who knows

[@crimsonflareumbreon1290]

So why didn’t you just teach Spenser Rock tomb? It has better accuracy than rock throw Plus you have a higher chance of lowering speed or better yet swop out Noland and Spenser between May starter?

[@magnuspkmn]

Rock Throw is 90% and Rock Tomb is 80%. Both are 50BP so you are trading accuracy for the speed drop. Rock Tomb is only 95% after X&Y

[@crimsonflareumbreon1290]

@@magnuspkmn oh ok but even if it lower you get the add affect of speed drop I personally think it was worth it or having both

[@Giffsen]

Banger

[@Soup4281]

In the great words of MandJTV, if it's not 100 percent accurate, it's 50 percent accurate😑😑
