How does this only have 10 views? Based on the production value, I thought it would be way more! Great work, and hopefully you get the attention you deserve!

[@drewco3389]

Appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching!

[@iiNiffy]

huh? 4.3k views? its such high quality mate. you gon get big soon i have faith

[@drewco3389]

So glad you enjoyed! I'm just going to keep doing my best and see how things go!

[@RoyalGuyful]

You are probably the only person I’ve seen that didn’t cheese the elite four with Encore. Kudos sir 🤝🏽

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much!!

[@jptoner]

Holy shit, watching this I thought you must have been a major nuzlocke channel, I’m shocked to find out this is relatively small- the gameplay was fantastic, the editing was professional... It was a great watch.

[@drewco3389]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@sonjs3336]

Very well played throughout! Vic was an absolute beast, even if there may have been a couple points where safer plays would have risked less. If you want another really fun and difficult game to nuzlocke, I highly recommend Vintage White. Great video!

[@drewco3389]

Vic really did put the team on her back haha. Funny you mention Vintage White since I’m currently playing it! I’m on a pretty deep run right now so if everything works out you could be seeing that video relatively soon 👀

[@yasinshehata]

Good vid bro, 260th sub. Definitely gonna watch your other vids now

[@drewco3389]

Glad you enjoyed this one and hope you enjoy the others!

[@abrarkadabrar7829]

Great hax plays. Super production and quality. Subbed.

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much!

[@diaperfang5293]

Its always the well put together videos that never get watched fr, good job on the video fella.

[@drewco3389]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words!!

[@brady6951]

Super cool elite 4 team, well played!

[@drewco3389]

Thank you! I was really happy to be able to bring Toxicroak since I haven't seen anyone else do so!

[@diamonddeity4607]

Sick video! Your video is just as high quality as renegade platinum challenge videos I’ve seen with hundreds of thousands of subs! Keep it up and you’ll get there trust me

[@drewco3389]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed! New nuzlocke video should be coming soon 👀

[@codonbyte]

Can't wait to see more nuzlocke videos from you. Your voice is super relaxing to listen to, and you get the right balance between post-commentary and live-commentary (many other nuzlockers do too much live-commentary). Please make more videos!

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much! I'm working on a video for Vintage White hardcore nuzlocke that I'm hoping to get out relatively soon (it's a longer video though so I have some shorter ones planned while I work on it)

[@NuclearCreampie]

The editing was so good and the plays were amazing!

[@drewco3389]

Thanks! Appreciate the love

[@Judelocke888]

this needs more views, super underrated

[@drewco3389]

Thanks for watching!! More pokemon gameplay coming soon

[@grummlinz9524]

Great Video. I am also in a Renegade Nuzlocke right now, with similar rules to yours. Right now I'm in the victory road before Marley. I didn't ban Weather, but Milotic and Garchomp as Encounters, because they are just too strong in the hack.

[@drewco3389]

Nice! Yeah I considered banning some encounters like that, but I figured that I already had enough restrictions. Good luck!

[@N33M00]

I'm happy this was on my homepage! Awesome challenge ,nice video!

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed

[@scottpilgrimpwns]

This was some really fascinating plays and strategy and i cant believe it took me until the literal end to realize the name scheme

[@drewco3389]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@zt2ean]

Gotta get my hands on this one even for a more casual play through, seems rad. Vic in particular but ultimately the whole team was so rad in the last fight! Good vid and awesome plays :)

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much! Vic really did put the team on her back. And RenPlat is an awesome game-one of my absolute favorites!

[@kendrickglazer911]

Incredible video bro!!! Definitely needs more views for how good this is. Keep it up man 👍

[@drewco3389]

Appreciate it! Working on the next nuzlocke video as we speak

[@aewona9979]

Took half the video to find out the naming theme. But my guess is that it is just a rhyming theme!

[@drewco3389]

You are correct! Thanks for watching :)

[@thecar888]

This is some amazing content how does thia only have 2000 views keep up the good work drew

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much! Working on the next nuzlocke as we speak 👀

[@Ok-xx2oo]

Wow this was incredible. Not losing a single Pokémon to the elite four is impressive. Keep it up my friend.

[@camdengrant2948]

This was a hell of a good video man

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much! Currently working on the next run 👀

[@johannesreus5154]

Good run, nice strategies implemented! Me and my friend are soullinking this game without EVs currently and ... it's been a hot minute. We're on attempt like 20 and the furthest run died to the Arcade Star boss battle after the 8th gym. Really well played!

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much! A soul link sounds like a big challenge but also a really fun time!

[@johannesreus5154]

@@drewco3389 it is! we actually beat Dahlia and are now battling our way through the victory road, currently past Marly. A new furthest attempt, hope this one goes all the way

[@gthemartian3855]

i'am actually playing your Pokemon Renegade and you did a very good work : ) nice nice Job Drew!

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much!!! I absolutely love this game

[@sandstormgaming1277]

Great video! You’re quite good. I’m currently on my 4th attempt and already have 5 deaths by the 5th gym haha

[@drewco3389]

Thanks!! You got this!

[@ArunKumar-xm5nf]

Great video!!

[@drewco3389]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed

[@ItsFireTiger]

I wonder if Mar just wanted to restore Purugly's speed so she switched out

[@landosierra2198]

keep it doing as well as sick this video is and u r going to be at swiggos or flygon HD leagues in MONTHS 🤟👏

[@drewco3389]

Appreciate the love!

[@noaworldTM]

I’m boutta fwu. Starting a run building around riolu as my ace. Building around that I thought of Hippo, Zard, Milo & Swellow. Went for Abra as my starter bc she’s cute asl.

[@joshkyei3105]

Bro, you are REALLY good. I'm in my game, and I lost 10 mons after the Canalave Gym, but you didn't lose anything for a good while.

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much!! The more you play the more you'll improve. Also helps to have a Toxicroak for water types lmao

[@Apexcrafter.]

Amazing production value, I might be a year late but it’s just a sensational video nevertheless. You’ve earned a subscription from me!

[@drewco3389]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!

[@calebverschure5511]

First sixty subs. Now we wait :) Well done.

[@drewco3389]

Thanks for watching!!

[@rockno]

Algorithm recommended me this.

[@hayleywaalen2612]

Name theme is Juice

[@ItsFireTiger]

I wonder when there's gonna be a Boss Triple Battle like Mars Jupiter Saturn vs You, Barry, Cynthia Also it could be adapted to Hoenn...Archie, Shelly ,Matt & Maxie, Tabitha, Courtney

[@nutlord716]

I think the Algorithm just did something great. You deserve wayy more subscribers dude!

[@drewco3389]

Appreciate it!

[@graceholbert2126]

This thumbnail gives me Smallant vibes

[@ItsFireTiger]

I hipe these get more updates like Drayano's Volt White 2/Blaze Black 2 Like I played the version that didn't have Fairy types and could catch all Legendary and Mythical Mons in game, but other Nuzlockes I watched of the same game, Fairies are present now

[@raulisdank6392]

Isn’t it suppose to be 1 encounter / gift Pokémon per city / route? You took charmander and the baby Pokémon from the same city??

[@drewco3389]

Drayano actually updated it to make the trainer school counts as its own encounter location in this game, so the baby came from there!

[@ItsFireTiger]

How did the Yamega thaw out though?

[@ItsFireTiger]

You'd think the AI would be smarter in a Romhack, there are some that actually do have smarter AI, where they see everything your Mon has. So let's say if you switched Lucario to avoid a Close Combat but then your Dusknoir gets hit with Shadow Claw instead 😳

[@DahongLuke]

insane this only has as many views that it does cuz it needs more

[@drewco3389]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@ItsFireTiger]

Is there a reason you didn't Ice Beam the Togekiss?

[@drewco3389]

If I remember correctly, it would have taken the same number of hits to kill as Moonblast, and Moonblast had the 30% chance to lower special attack

[@griffinbull5780]

How can I play rom hacks like this?

[@Gatitasecsii]

I don't like this video format... isn't there a way to watch the full run?

[@kam_12_]

dry skin cheese😂😂

[@drewco3389]

Top 2 strategy of all time and it sure isn't #2

[@TotalFreek]

You look like B-Rad

[@JoyBoyCoy]

Shoulda used Gardevoir

[@ItsFireTiger]

Darach giving you no money 😳😔

[@theReallygoodlawyer]

I don't understand why he has such low numbers

[@drewco3389]

I'm just going to keep doing my best on all my videos, hope people keep enjoying them, and hope for more viewers to come rolling in!

[@thefloodwatch785]

Great video!

[@drewco3389]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed
