Can your favorite YouTubers BEAT Pokémon Emerald Kaizo?

Pokémon Emerald Kaizo is considered by many to be the hardest Pokémon game of all time...so I wanted to see if your favorite content creators had the skills to take down the hardest of all Pokémon challenges. I invited 4 of my friends, Failboat, Jaiden Animations, Weegee the God, and yaki, who all had prior Pokémon experience, so I was confident that they could handle this challenge to race to the game's first gym leader, Roxanne. Little did I know the pain that I was about to put them all through...

Forgot to mention this whole thing lasted 4hours, that’s why everyone is in pain. Not even your favourite KZbinr can stand 4hours of torture

I bet they were all thinking of this meme the whole time 15:53

Platinum nuzlocke 2.0 with the luck

Yaki was so enthusiastic for just being done. She definitely didn’t care who won at that point. “WE’RE FREE” 😂😂😂

I laughed so hard at that part XD

i'm so sad Yaki doesn't have more than two videos on her youtube channel, she sounds like a blast to watch :(

[@justuraverageangel3529]

Family friendly? Nah, just failboat

[@airmilk7599]

HE actually swore at 5:41 but whose counting

[@ashleye.5423]

9:46 Yaki's puke-scream of incandescent rage had me in absolute tears 🤣 Would love to see more of these (especially the Wattson battle), but I can understand how draining this sort of challenge can be. Major props to the challengers here!

[@Drxxyt]

this was super fun. You can't help but feel bad for how much they went through but hey, IT WAS SOME GOOD CONTENT

[@tacticalduckie2723]

There is something odd, yet natural, when hearing Jaiden swearing. You never see her do it in her videos for obvious reasons so if you never see her in any other videos it is surprising but funny.

[@scary-sounds]

Jaiden has that tv classic of cutting away before saying the full sware or just censoring it going on at her channel. But not here.

[@Tydorstus]

Did not expect that

[@wilesnailspower9781]

I’ve heard Jaiden swear before on her second channel but hearing Failboat swear was very jarring to me.

[@scary-sounds]

@@wilesnailspower9781 don't think I've seen her second channel. Im gonna need to check it out

[@hypnoticnexus24]

I think she mentioned in her subathon shes gonna ease into swearing in her videos nothing too bad just the basic fu bi shi words probably

[@littleguystar]

I saw Failboat and said "he better finish it first" knowing his luck huh

[@thor498]

No imagen the pain Jan from Pokémon challenges was going through. He hardcore nuslocked the hole fucking game. It's completely insane

[@Tydorstus]

Yup 151 attempts before he beat it. And he started it as a blind one too.

[@ThePureSynergist]

After being in such pain over nuzlocking Emerald Kaizo, it must have been nice to watch others suffer.

[@ShoShoArts]

Its always fun seeing Yaki in videos (and streams) with her friends, she’s an absolute blast to watch

They experienced a portion of the insanity that drives Jan on what he does.

[@HeyaItsmK5103]

''THAT TOGEPI PULLED OUT A GUN!'' this is one of the many reasons i love failboat (Timestamp: 3:08)

[@Boppin.]

It glared at barboach and then whipped out the .40

[@MrNorskgamer]

wanna know what i think could be a fun idea? pull 4 youtubers place them infront of a kaizo pokemon romhack and then have them being coached by 1 person each who have beaten the game, but instead of only going for 1st gym, maybe the 3 first gyms. just a random thought being thrown up in the air, will sanities be broken? yes, but look at it this way: content

[@dyppityjoop5912]

maybe it could be a relay race, where one kaizo noob and one kaizo pro team up, and they have 2 different roles, but have no mics to communicate. the pro would start as the 'stratergist' they would decide which pokemon to catch, what items and moves to give to pokemon, which pokemon are on the team and what levels the pokemon are, while the noob would start as the 'battler', which would be the person actually playing the battles. so the battler would have to interpret what the stratergist wants them to actually do in battle without using mics. then once they beat a gym, they switch roles and the noob becomes the stratergist and pro becomes the battler. first to beat first 3 gyms wins!

[@TraceyMailin]

Happy to see Roxanne girlbossing her way into breaking everyone's sanity, my girl deserves it

[@MrTsufuru]

Hearing Jaiden curse as much is a first....and I'm loving it, I need more cursing from Jaiden in my life

[@anon2447]

Yaki has the level of a literal 80s-90s anime protagonist in this, really talented at one thing (battling) but hopeless at the other stuff, like navigating, and sense of orientation

[@PseudoFanboy]

i LOVE the developing comradery that developed as everyone wore down and the race between contestants became a fight against the challenge itself "DO YOU BELIEVE?" "I BELIEVE" without ANY hesitation was beautiful :')

Its funny that Yaki probably could have gotten the farthest in the actual game. She built a really solid team so its a little unfortunate they were only doing the first gym.

[@janehrahan5116]

Man emerald kaizo is much more fun when it's not a nuzlock

[@islandboy9381]

Nuzlocking was intended to be a self imposed "hard mode" for the really easy vanilla games so yea these rom hacks that are already hard modes aren't designed for nuzlocking or a forced set mode, but it makes for good content though lol

[@janehrahan5116]

Genuinely having just beat wotr sadistic game design legitimately. That's more fun than any kaizo nuzlocke.
