I think your workaround for the game no longer doing completely random encounters was fantastic and worked perfectly in terms of trying to emulate the randomness of a normal nuzlocke

l dont know about perfect,, let's say there's a route where two mons spawn, one with 90% likeliness and the other with 10% likeliness. With jan's method, he'd simply 50-50 it while in a perfect simulation the other pokemon should be way rarer to randomly encounter

@@Sponsie1000 there is no percentage of encounters in these games, instead pokemon have fixed SPAWN location, it's impossible to factor an 90% rate of pokemon cause i can simply visit the spawn of a pokemon and he will ALWAYS be there, also the numbers aren't exact cause they can appear either alone or in multiples of 5/4 with an evo in The middle. There are too many variables to determine "spawn rate"

[@misirtere9836]

@@ToaArcan The difference is, the reason why it's like that in Red and Blue is because the cartridge was so overstuffed that they had to cut corners in some places, and that meant giving a lot of enemy trainers' Pokemon their level up movesets.

Like wow. If only they had waited a year to release it so they had time to iron out the bugs…

The writing was good, I just wish the plot itself before the, ah, ending stuff matched it. Basically, the plot beats themselves and the focus of the story held the writing back.

There are still several major plot holes but i agree, the ending is really good, 10/10

@@atomicpunk2360 The open world aspect of it felt really rushed. I wish it'd been better laid out based on the levels of the bosses or even had level scaling, if they were going to have it open world at all. Every piece of story progression was tied to a boss fight, most of the lore was tied to a boss fight, half the boss fights were tied to another boss fight... I liked the incidental cutscenes that games like platinum had that helped to flesh out the world & characters and guide you towards your objectives more naturally, and SV really lacked those.

They are so callous that they do not care about what would happen to Paldea if the paradox pokemon ran amok. That to me, is the definition of evil and a villain.

I think if you want random encounters, it may be possible to do a Tera Raid Battle Nuzlocke. The only Pokémon that can be caught are from raids. You see what element their Tera-type will be, but the Pokémon inside is randomised, so it's a layer of strategy, "I need an Electric Tera 'mon to fight the Water Gym", with a layer of chance, as that Electric-type could be anything, and it forces you to adapt movesets based on the random Pokémon you get's Tera Type; the Tera Electric Pokémon you get could be a Grimer, for example, so you put Thunder Punch on its moveset. I think the "Teralocke" rules need a bit of refinement, but I honestly think there's something there for future Gen 9 playthroughs. I think that type of Nuzlocke would lean into SV's unique mechanic, and gets around the random encounter issue in the game's overworld.

I gotta say, for years I've loathed how insultingly easy the games have become, but just with this one I found the fun in playing not with 6 mons, but with 24 (more or less). You end up around 10 levels below everything, and instead of farming or shit, you have to select which of your trained mons can do better against the oponent. Of course, no switch mode, no items in battle. I remember the chairman rekt me 4 times, and I ended up having to stall not him in battle, but the weather before the battle, because he had Quaquaval and it seems like it was programed to rain more or less by the time Quaquaval came out, and the boost to it's water attack was splitting my team in half.

"Pro" Tip: If you're using Quaxly, you can easily get Air Slash before even reaching the first town. In the lake where you find early Flamigo, on the island closest to the Black Belt trainer, there's an island with a TM (for Air Slash) on it. Normally you'd need to swim to get this. But you already have something that can swim, Quaxly. Stand on the shore, use Let's Go, and Quaxly can swim over and pick up the TM for you. And if you don't have Quaxly, anything that can swim or fly can do this too (Like Fletchling).

I love the way you integrated the mimkyu ability into the nord vpn ad, very clever and one of the few times I didn't just instantly skip past a sponsored ad in a video

Quaxly Squad FTW!!!! At least that you chose it for the first run. Also, that idea with spinning a wheel to determine a Nuzlocke encounter is BRILLIANT! One of the only things that I dislike about ScarVio is the fact that they removed Set Mode, forcing everyone to play on Shift mode. Ever since my 3rd Nuzlocke, where I tried playing on Set for the first time, I've been playing on Set ever since, it's so enjoyable. Still have no idea why they'd remove the option to play on Set. Thankfully the battles go pretty fast, and the wild battles even faster, so grinding goes pretty quick. I wasn't Nuzlocking my first run or second (doing 2 at the same time, one co-op with my bro and one solo which I've already finished), but I did play it blind and I am planning to do 3 Nuzlockes, one with each starter, and then draw all the new Pokémon I catch, for my "ArtDex", as a replacement for the National Dex not being in the game since gen 6 anymore. The battle I struggled the most with, and perhaps the ONLY battle I struggled with, was against Eri, the Fighting Star Boss, purely because her Starmobile has Stamina and kept using Shift Gear and just sweeping my team, forcing me to use revives in order to not lose the battles, otherwise I had never used any items in battles before nor after. I did end up beating her on my first try because of luck, her missing an attack and me landing one to take out the sliver of HP the Starmobile had left. Still it was an enjoyable game with a really good story, plus I caught so many shinies, I ended up finding 4 shinies in a single day, the day after I found my first shiny, and so I ended up having 2 shinies on my team throughout my solo file: a Mabosstiff and a Scovillain.

This was definitely one of your best videos yet, loved it from start to finish

I love the undertone of hollow knight. You played hornet music in the back and you made a mantis lords reference at the beginning too

As a kid when imagining Pokemon, I had an idea for the final gym being someone who utilized crystal pokeballs. They're unique balls that allow the user to call forth any pokemon, and it would be a crystalized version of that pokemon. It allows the gym to counter any pokemon you had. Would make for a cool challenge and the gym would be unique for every playthrough.

that wheel idea is actually phenomenal. props to whoever thought of that. absolutely the best option for this.

"Am Ende macht ers nochmal spannend." I laughed so hard, I knew you know german, but it was so random that can't control that laugh from me xD

Best nuzlocker on KZbin maybe some people don't have recording equipment
