Expert Nuzlocker Fails Pokémon Sporcle Quizzes for 40 Minutes

Can I name every Pokémon from the first four generations by memory?
00:00 - Introduction
01:55 - Gen I
11:44 - Gen II
21:21 - Gen III
30:27 - Gen IV
Different video this week, because I didn't have time to pump out a whole new Nuzlocke video. Hoping to get one out for you next weekend, but let me know if you'd like to see more videos like this (they will always be IN ADDITION TO Nuzlockes, never replacing them)!

Jokes aside on the "fake doctor" part, the word doctor in english comes from a latin word meaning "I teach" and originally was used for anyone with enough of an education in any subject to be able to sufficiently teach other people about it. It being applied to medical professionals was a later addition.

[@daniel6678]

Huh! I've never noticed the D-C-T-R overlap between educator and doctor, but that makes perfect sense.

[@allainch.7251]

Congratulations on your PhD! It’s pretty crazy for me to think that you were able to make amazing content while juggling that, been down the past few months and it really was a treat to see one of your uploads in my sub feed. Also started my nuzlocking endeavors thanks to you, currently on my 7th run on a hardcore Emerald run!

Congrats! Your channel growth is super impressive and it’s no surprise as to why - your videos are well made, well narrated, creative, and you have a really easily enjoyable personality. You can tell how much of a trendsetter you are based on the amount of themed nuzlocke copycat channels that popped up after your success (not that someone should monopolize nuzlockes, but it’s obvious to see who’s hopping on the bandwagon vs you who built the wagon)

[@Althea-42]

Flygon is my favorite pokemon too and the fact that you can do this channel AT ALL gives me hope that their will be time for any sort of life while I am in university. I hope your thesis went well! If it doesn't work out at least you have saved the world from devastating floods and deadly eruptions countless times to put on your resume! My sister's boyfriend of four years is starting his doctorate program in just a few weeks.

Plus, you're cute! Congrats on the PhD, Dr. FlygonHG! Really looking forward to your upcoming content. :)

[@ElizabethClements-np7gc]

[@daniel6678]

Love this. I really like doing the Sporcle Pokedex quizzes, and for gens 1, 3, and 4, I can pretty much go through the game and get them all. Gen 2 has so many of those one-offs and random additions that the only way I can manage to remember it is in chunks! The babies, the new evos from of gen 1 mons, the bugs, the water ones, etc. My favorite of these groups is the S's - a set of six(!) single-stage Pokemon scattered through the dex that ALL start with S: Stantler, Skarmory, Shuckle, Smeargle, Sudowoodo, and Sneasel. (Sneasel and Sudowoodo aren't single-stage anymore but they are for the sake of remembering the gen 2 dex).
