Normal types: I am inevitable!

[@joshuasims5421]

The whole point of nuzlockes, in the beginning, was to tell stories. I remember reading the original nuzlocke webcomic years ago. The failed runs are as important as the victories. If every story ended in victory, what would be the point of telling them?

[@Gibstack]

I think I (we as a society?) have forgotten about this aspect. I mean, a lot of the animated story videos of nuzlockes probably hit the mark. But taking nuzlocking so seriously/so competitively probably takes something of that away. Interesting thing to remember.

[@paulnewton2284]

As a matter of fact, that very first nuzlocke ended in defeat.

[@PelemusMcSoy]

I'm currently going through a randomized nuzlocke of White, and I've already failed once at the first gym. The first gym trainer had a freaking Dialga that crushed my precious Shelmet (Burgundy), but was defeated by my tanky Umbreon (Charcoal). The gym leader then laughed as his Ferrothorn whittled away everyone else on my team. I rerolled the randomizer and started again, and have since made it to the second gym. For my story, I ultimately plan to tell the "successful*" run. However, I want to incorporate the failed run(s) into this story. One way is to make reference to horrific events, like the Dialga encounter killing Burgundy being a nightmare. If this run is successful, it would shake my character (Prism) as she has a Whirlipede named Burgundy; this plus seeing her starter Chimchar is always so jumpy in combat (he has a Timid nature) makes her vow to protect her Pokemon no matter what. *Successful may not necessarily be defeating Ghetsis, but at lest completing the objective of finding Prism's dad and maybe solving the mystery of what happened to Unova.

[@Altair1243WAR]

Ok, he could have kept the defeat AND also restarted. It's not like anything precludes him from re-attempting the challenge just because you're "trying to tell a story" (which, for the record, is something I appreciate) I wouldn't mind even if it was a separate video after he took a break

[@intergalactic92]

I used to read a lot of the nuzlocke stories and I can assure you the ones with zero deaths were just boring. There was no interesting overcoming of adversity, just a lot of patting oneself on the back. The ones with lots of death were more interesting.

[@rumle5]

The letter to Steven: "Dear Steven, I'm at an all time low. The divorce papers came in and it looks like your step-mother and I will be officially separated in the eyes of the law by the time you get this letter. I know it's been a long time coming and I shouldn't be surprised. But a small part of me thought that we'd make it through this. A small part of me thought that she just needed to blow off some steam. That's why I paid for her flight to Sinnoh. So that she could explore other relationships and find that what we had was special. But I was wrong. What do these Probopass have that I don't? Is it really worth throwing away everything we had? Worth walking away from her son? I'm so alone. All I have for comfort is Nosey's hugs. But he socks at hugs. Because he's half Nosepass. It's like hugging a giant rock with flailing human limbs. Pretty creepy actually. I know you won't return home, and I respect that. But I'm your Dad. So, I'll keep sending child postmen to let you know that I love you. Love, Daddy Stone."

the locke was really creative and also, the "in memorial" section at the end is something really cute I'd like to see more times good job, matti!!💙

[@nachtaron]

The memorial thing is the most bittersweet thing for me in any nuzlocke I see it. How we can install so much personality and develop feelings for bites of data we get shown for like 5 minutes before they die is beyond me x3

[@crafthermanos758]

[@rosencvetanov6129]

i think losing in the inverse locke was kinda poetic, in normal nuzlockes you usually win, so it would make sense to lose in the inverse nuzlocke

[@Poketom-ob1dl]

Might I recommend a Pokémon ultra moon nuzlocke with only Pokémon that change type when they evolve? As in a type gets swapped like Onix getting rid of its rock type for steel when evolving into Steelix Ultra moon is unique in that it has practically every Pokémon that changed type expect for the poster children of the gimmick: nincada and azuril. (And some Pokémon with regional forms that were added later) What’s also interesting about this is the encounter layout as only rowlet and Onix are found on Melemele island, with the remaining are spilt evenly between Akala and Poni island, and no encounters on Ula’Ula. Which means you have to get through Olivia’s trail up to the Lusamine fight with 7 available Pokémon at best before suddenly opening a bunch of new dragon type encounters. On the plus side, the Pokémon available aren’t the most commonly used Pokémon The Pokémon that change type are the following: Rowlet (swaps flying for ghost) Onix (found via island scan on Sunday) (swaps rock for steel) Eevee (swaps normal for another type) Surskit (swaps water for flying) Ralts (found via island scan on Tuesday) (swaps it’s fairy for fighting) (dawn stone isn’t until after necrozma) Fletchling (swaps normal for fire) Cubone (swaps ground for fire and ghost) Larvitar (swaps ground for dark) Scyther (swaps flying for steel) Exeggcute (swaps psychic for dragon) Dragalge (swapped water for dragon) (also ultra moon exclusive) Altaria (swapped normal for dragon) (only found in red portals in ultra space) Drapion (swapped bug for dark) (only found in green portals in ultra space)

[@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy]

I really liked the idea of swapping a type more than adding one like Charmeleon - Charizard Ampharos - M-Ampharos. This sounds like a great idea he should definitely do it

[@neondisguise1587]

This idea does sound cool, but what about Pokémon like Oricorio? Is not allowed since it isn’t evolving, just changing form?

[@cringies]

this is such a unique idea, and i seriously hope he uses this.

[@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy]

See, I really liked the Inverse Battle mechanic from Gen 6 and seeing this Nuzlocke had me definitely interested from the get-go, as if all your other Nuzlockes didn't. Lliramuza may just be my favorite nickname ever. And Daddy Stone's letter is pretty depressing this time, at least we know Nosey can give hugs, creepy as they may be. Win, lose or draw, you really are like that train in that one Denzel Washington movie.

[@Flane4]

Challenge made my head hurt with thinking in reverse. Really neat idea to see played out. Also, does failing an inverted challenge mean you actually succeeded?

[@nimikyuu]

I love these kinds of challenges- honestly, I think the challenge itself of bending your brain around swapped advantages and disadvantages makes it more satisfying to see when you goof (ex. sending laocrot in to take the solarbeam, which I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise bc it made sense normally) so I think even imperfect challenges are worth the watch!! Your sense for storytelling is superb either way and I always enjoy it immensely :)

[@tuskoub]

I actually like when the Nuzlockes don’t always result in a win, and that slideshow at the end for all the fallen team members was awesome. This was a cool run :)

[@LagrimaArdiente]

Tsk, what is it with old men thinking younger women will come crawling back to them after getting to experience more of the world? Honestly, good on Nosepass! Her career is taking off; I hear she effortlessly curbstomped a Treecko recently. Let her flourish! Like, I feel bad for Nosey, sure, but it's time Devon pulled his pants up and finally learned to be a dad. 😤 Edit: "Speaking of people who are ashamed of me, it's time to fight my father." The daddy issues keep coming and they don't stop coming. 😢

[@otopenyCooper]

Genuinely my favourite channel and the humour and commentary in this video is exactly why! Also love how you didn't just reset after Roxanne, I really love seeing these kinds of challenges where major mistakes are embraced and accepted and seeing the delights of nuzlockes where people are unexpectedly forced to play the game differently with different Pokémon, especially in a topsy-turvy challenge like this one!

And don't worry, you weren't the only one who struggled with Aney...htgim... No, that's not right ... And regarding burnout, I feel you. I don't know if this inverse challenge came before Blaze Black/Volt White 2 redux, but i really felt that you were getting frustrated with that series and challenge mode's unfairness. I guess that contributed to the burnout feeling. All this to say, I'm glad you chose what you chose with BW/VW2, and I'm glad you chose to do what you did in this video!

[@mattb2741]

Great video my man, was enjoyable to watch and I liked the way you handled the end, along with sticking with the seemingly failed run. Since this is inverse locke I want to mention an interesting thing, there's a popular and difficult fan game called Pokemon Reborn, and with the latest big update it added settings to change aspects of the game. One of those is an inverse password. There are some other passwords too, one that sets all the opponent's pokemon to have 252 in every ev, and a password for each mono type. Some absolute masochistic mad lads have started and completed runs since then with the inverse and 252 in all evs password, as a *mono steel* type run. Nicknamed, the Tinverselocke.

[@bobkingofseagulls9884]

I'm a big fan of these unique gameplay challenges. Type-specific nuzlockes are fun but a bit predictable, but I love when you have a premise where I have no idea how you're going to solve incoming problems. Stuff like this, the snaplockes, etc are really enjoyable. I'd love to see some sort of extra-ultra-hardcore-nuzlocke at some point. Like extending from how you give a couple extra rules for kalos runs but even crazier (could be like "I can only use 3 move slots, I have to edit my pokemon to have 0 IVs and EVs, etc).

[@Worstfreelancer]

I appreciate the upload of this nuzlocke to change things up. It's pretty humbling to show that things don't always work out, but that's ok. And I also support the self care and try8ng to avoid burn out. It seems like a lot of creators are starting experience it so do what you feel is right man.

We all really appreciate the amount of content you come out with as it is and I think most of your fans prefer to watch your videos knowing that you were enjoying these challenges rather than really grinding out something that was very taxing for you behind the scenes. Thanks!
