[@ecksdee7957]

maybe a weird comment but I think it sounds a lot more natural to refer to pokemon as "it" rather than using pronouns. That's how it is in the anime and probably how most people are used to referring to pokemon. not a huge deal or anything just slightly off-putting and distracting imo

I still feel the graphic showing used pokemon should be in the beginning. It gives the viewer a better overview going into it and allows you to guess what you're going to use, which is fun.

The Death Counter is correct in this video.

[@SirBroadsword]

@@BlazingKhioneus Jolteon is a one-trick pony... it just so happens that it's a very, _very_ good trick... X3

[@testerwulf3357]

I used a random generator thing to pick what eeveelutions I'd be using for an eeveelution only run in my sword play-through and jolteon got to be part of my main team (it was a blind play through so I ended up allowing the rest in a "b team" situation to attempt to avoid overleveling haha, used my main team to beat leon though as it was only fitting so my jolteon is now a champion with it's sticker :] ). It was pretty ok, didn't really focus on IVs or EVs so it probably wasn't the best idk, but I loved having 'em on my team

[@sbclaridge]

Jolteon definitely gets better in Gen 4 and onward though, with Shadow Ball becoming a special move. This is a more powerful coverage option than its predecessor in Bite; Eevee learns Bite in Gens 2 and 3, where it is a special attack. The problem is, Eevee doesn't learn Bite until Lv. 30 in both GSC and RSEFRLG, although Eevee does start off with it in XD making it a viable option there. If you want to level up your Eevee and allow it to learn Bite, Eevee does come at Lv. 25 in FRLG, so leveling it up by 5 levels to Lv. 30 is definitely an option there (and probably worthwhile to do so for the extra coverage Bite offers). Although, the constraints of this Nuzlocke challenge do require using Eevee in XD so battling with it in FRLG (or any other game) is not an option. If there were the Exp. Share available, Bite could have been an option for Jolteon, I guess. Either that, or get lucky in the Hidden Power lottery, on top of getting lucky enough with Pickup to get a TM10 in the first place.

[@Counterfearable]

Whoo this is great! I really hope you get a lot of subscribers from this man, It's so good.

[@Loupoklol]

Will you consider regional variants as different mons? Exemple: Playing Alolan Dugtrio in Ultra Moon even though you played Dugtrio in FireRed. I think it could make it fun!

[@thesnowyzorua378]

Yeah they are different mons so don't see why he shouldn't count them

[@Loupoklol]

@@thesnowyzorua378 theyre not different mon, same pokedex number. So thats why I'm asking

[@xsilvermistx]

I realized by my own goal of "don't re-use the same pokemon in playthroughs" that I too, have vaguely participated in a Nuzlocke by that definition. Most notably I didn't want to use Salamance or Garchomp in BD/Violet because I used them already in Ruby/Diamond and wanted to change up my team comp. Similarly, I don't allow myself to choose the same starter for the remakes!

[@christofzeh1507]

I think that taking the first encounter per route (obviously counting dupes) would make this series more interesting, instead of choosing it. By even EV training all your pokemon this challenge seems near impossible to lose. Having random encouters would most likely make you use more pokemon which is like the entire point of the challenge and it would make it more interesting as i said imo. I know that u said in your FAQ that you might as well reset the encounters to get the correct one but in a nuzlocke a reset is not allowed, so idk about that reasoning.

[@korrochime2432]

I'm pretty sure the "resetting" is talking about resetting the game itself to get the correct encounter, a strategy that a lot of the more difficult nuzlocks rely on

[@BlazingKhioneus]

That'd kinda defeat the purpose of this challenge in the longrun since if he used first encounters willy nilly, he'd rapidly run out of Pokémon in the later games

[@supersayin5gogeta]

I just noticed you have no pokemon to use for Let's Go Pikachu before Brock. At 1:21:28 you show all used pokemon and have shown that you've used Pikachu, Pidgey, Ratatta, Oddish, Spearow, Nidoran M/F, Caterpie, Weedle, Metapod, Kakuna, Butterfree, Beedrill, and Bulbasaur. That's literally all of the possible encounters before Brock. And with his level cap, it's not like you can twist the rules like you did for Eevee and only catch oddish till one evolves into Gloom. What are your plan for that game?

[@bitzibaerlie]

He mentioned that he was going to use Bellsprout and Oddish respectively earlier in this series, but as you have noticed, Oddish is not available anymore. Earliest you can chain for Chansey is Mt. Moon? And the in-game trade for Alolan Rattata is later as well? Meltan you can only get in Fuchsia? How early can you get the Mew from the Pokéball Plus?

[@supersayin5gogeta]

@@bitzibaerlie Yeah, I just double checked and he ends up using Oddish in his Gold playthrough, so there's literally nothing he can catch before Brock in the actual game. After researching the pokeball +, it seems you can do it so long as the pokeball + is connected to your switch. That's literally the only pokemon he can get before Brock.

[@katsenpai6957]

I think you should do a "previously on" recap at the start, where you show moments in prior parts where you mentioned saving a pokemon or capturing everything to lock in an encounter in a later game. It would really make it feel cooler and let the audience appreciate the planning that went into the route
