How I WON a Pokémon Nuzlocke Race

​@Alpharad challenged me to a Nuzlocke race of Pokémon Emerald against him, @jaidenanimations, @cjya, @failboat, and @yakirisu! After the 6 of us finished drafting 25 Pokémon through a snake style draft, we would set out to race through the Hoenn region to find out which streamer could become the champion fastest. With all of my nuzlocking experience, this was sure to be a piece of cake...watch as I leave Alpharad, Jaiden Animations, cjya, Failboat, and Yaki in the dust!

the spreadsheets came in clutch LOL

The spreadsheets won me the run tbh LMAO

Hello there Jaiden animation

[@yakirisu]

the fact it was so close at the end made it all the more exciting

[@pain17ification_Ray_Smith]

Hi, Yaki! Please make another Nuzlocke video! Your Gen 5 one was HILARIOUS! 😂

[@breakerheart7403]

Agreeing with the person above silently.

[@Thejolt-yg4fm]

No checkmark 🤨

[@doublespinningedge5537]

Man didn't just take Alpha's W, he took his victory music with it

[@CaptainKiddYT]

😈

[@No_pro_bro]

Thats the abandoned ship/Sea Mauville theme The one your saying is ORAS Hall of Fame one Um ackualy moment

[@Spirit-pt1ib]

We love to see it

[@haekalariq851]

​@@No_pro_bro that song + "and just like that.." is how most of alpharads challange video ends

[@psychie8625]

​@@No_pro_broNo it wasn't. It was Meteor Falls.

[@flarky6465]

It's unironically really inspiring how Braden let the popular meme of him fumbling the bag in a gen 3 nuzlocke fuel him to be an incredible gen 3 nuzlocker. After everything you've been through, you've earned this win big time.

[@sielklavar]

It's amazing how neck and neck it was at the end between you and Jacob were at the end now knowing that you had a 3rd technical issue the race wasn't paused for.

[@PointsofData]

Yeah Kidd would've fucking ran away with it if not for those technical issues. Even if everyone paused and didn't get ahead of him, that momentum and spirit was lost for a bit and took awhile to get back. And of course, Flash was lost.

[@BlankPapers]

Admittedly, there’s something so hype about the change from, “what did I say, Braedon?!” to “Congratulations, Braedon!”

[@babe4341]

the fact that you did this with an 15 minute disavantage is amazing

[@rekttangela2262]

"We can't use niche Pokémon anymore, we just need pure power to plow through the remaining trainers" *Shedinja stays*

[@Matpit18]

He’s gone from botching up a Gen 3 Nuzzlocke with the unintentional death of an Onix to taking the crown over 5 other content creators with very intense and careful planning, in the same generation. That’s some real character development right there.

[@owenaspinall2046]

For those wondering about the mentioned Explosion Meditite plan for Tate and Liza, here's how it works: Lead Boomer and 1 hp medicham. T&L see kill with both into Medicham, so you detect. The boomer can get hit from Claydol eq here as long as it doesn't die to new gen crits. Boom onto your detect, killing your boomer, Xatu, and Claydol. Send out a fake out Mon and fake out one of Solrock and Lunatone while reversal ohkoing the other. Reversal ohko the last Mon to get a quick Tate and Liza with one planned death and hype KZbin content.

[@TechSage658]

the fact yaki was always so lost made me laugh so hard lmaooo🤣

[@CodyTroutman]

The live commentary down the stretch and the dual POVs was intense, loved that!

[@Sarah04527]

I watched this live and I was still on the edge of my seat. Great editing and great video! The win was absolutely deserved

[@Zkydo]

wait, you lost 15 minutes, and despite that you won fair and square? holy shit dude, absolute GOAT

[@priestesslucy3299]

Technically Alpharad beat himself against Drake lol, but yeah, Kidd did really, really well *EDIT:* of course, Arad never would have had that opportunity if Kidd didn't lose those 15 minutes to begin with lol, would have just been eating dust in second place

[@sandros7k453]

Watching jacobs video then this back to back has made my day lmao

[@montyeggman3075]

Congratulations on such a well-earned victory, especially after the game tried to (but couldn't) glitch you out of the race.

[@No_pro_bro]

I like how music changes during e4 battles to reflect their individual theme from masters ex and so seamlessly too

[@draco2351]

Honestly, adding all of the Pokemon Master’s Elite 4 Remixes for each of the respective Trainers made the ending to this so awesome. Phenomenal editing.

[@timothylee245]

Braden had every possible inconvenience happen to him and he still won

[@Mad-Slick]

Really hoping you guys do another Pokémon Nuzlocke draft. It was great.

[@GuenterErde1]

The "just like that" with the shoal cave music was objectively the correct play

[@pidj.]

Aside from the bugs, was such a fun stream. Great little summary video, congrats on the win!

[@toomanyowlz]

Super entertaining video!!! I found your channel through this challenge and seeing your win made me really want to see this from your perspective. Love the editing and thought processes behind these. Can’t wait to see more from you ❤🎉

[@TheKinkySkink]

Grats on the win, you deserve it! Love the editing on this it's all very polished

[@BosserJCProductions]

GGS Captain Kidd! Congrats on the victory!!! Funny I just watched Alpha’s video, great to see your perspective on it!

[@solarixstar]

Braden (sorry if I misspelled that dude) went through one hell of an arc. From being “the onix guy” to an honest to god Pokémon THREAT. You love to see it!

[@Leon-mc1fo]

Love the Masters EX elite four music

[@kchgamer1788]

So what you’re saying is that Kid would have absolutely destroyed this competition without the error and running into all of the trainers. Good to know.

[@astrogamer927]

The fact that even if you didn't make them stop when you broke those 2 times, you still would have won, just 2hrs behind. Beautiful.

[@dragonfly4441]

The thumbnail is legit amazing. Kudos to the artist.

[@Staticblox]

I like how this is less of a game show with switching povs, and just watching one’s own adventure

[@andeeznation]

Easy fix for races like these. Have a timer going from the start of the race to the end. If you have problems like you did and have to restart from the absolute start then you restart the timer. So at the end of the day you all compare timers… then they dont have to wait. Such a simple answer

[@lairaye]

Loved the transitions between the masters hoeen e4 themes

[@RyanShappa]

“Others were started to get annoyed” *shows cj* 😂😂 Loved this content, I think you all should do gen 1 or another one!

[@zacharyyoungblood7013]

After seeing you build your team I 100% knew you'd win! Gg, well earned!!

[@sahanana]

It's actually insane how much you have improved as a player and I have mad respect for you!!

[@Tacticalcupcakes]

I absolutely LOVE that you used Kazooie at the Facade bit; I'm a huge BK fan, that alone got you a new sub :]

[@sskirbo1559]

yooo hype video i love these style vids

[@xenophacilus5895]

When I watched the drafts, you became my number 1 choice to win JUST BECAUSE you took Roselia and I love that line xD WOOOOOOO \o/

[@cleffee]

i love love LOVE how your videos are edited, good shit captain kidd

[@cleffee]

The squirtle overlay sprites and the little cutaways are so fun

[@CharzzTheAnimated]

Squirtle player sprite is precious

[@beanwuzhear]

Had to drop the like for the PMEX music during the E4, only BANGERS 😤

[@toe_sucker_4165]

This is what happens when Jan turns you into a Twitch clip.

[@mythicalrock2486]

Jacob’s video was so nostalgic to watch, thanks for bring the memories

[@NidotheKing]

Didn't even need to bust out the Onix with Sturdy, absolute legend.

[@RaevynCH]

That ending was freaking hype. GG

[@cryarionic8321]

Thats what I call a good redemption arc since that onix incidence ^^

[@friskdremeurluck7907]

I’m so incredibly proud of kid. From onix to champ.

[@dismasyves]

The spreadsheets are exactly how I would have done it too XD great vid and you have gained a subscriber!

[@Angelderbat]

Gotta love an underdog story! The game crashing should have ended it, but you pulled through!

[@stevenjohnson6962]

This video is really making me want to try my egg nuzlocke again. Make a random box of eggs, randomly select 5 to go with my starter and that's my starting team. Everytime I lose a pokemon randomly add one of those eggs to the team. I did it on y back in 2020 and really want to do it again. But I'm waiting to see what gets announced on the 27th in case there is more pokemon getting added to gen 9

[@sleeby4226]

He went from the guy who thought onix had sturdy, to the victor of this incredible race

[@Ardomew]

Congrats, Kidd! Despite the Onix and Norman moments, you really had a solid run through this race!

[@Meowthix]

I'm just still suprised nobody took Chansey or anything. I understand the logic behind the decision but it's SUCH a safe pick. Serene grace w/ softboiled, calm mind and any 2 coverage moves you want could probably deal with well over half the battles in the match in case you dont have a mon to reliably deal with it. With how many people didn't get any fire mons due to the sun team it made a good susbstitue. Smeargle as well in a way but. I get why Smeargle got left out for a race.

[@someonesgenericfish0]

is eviolite implemented in the game?

[@owenaspinall2046]

@@someonesgenericfish0 no

[@solomonyanuck9798]

Video idea: similar draft format, but it's a team of 12 and the race starts at the Mars/Saturn multi battle in Ren Plat and ends when you beat Cyrus in the back to back in the distortion world.

[@Shiny478]

Watching the draft I knew he had a huge advantage with some of his picks

[@alexandraShm]

Kidd was just taking time losses, so at least someone could catch up to him, to make video more entertaining for us! What a KZbin))

[@mikezingery2537]

Does anyone know how to get the infinite rare candy key item as well as level caps in emerald-ex-speedchoice? Or even the DraftEmerald custom build they are using here?

[@owenaspinall2046]

I think the play for Sceptile is to delay Treecko's evolution until you get energy ball at level 37, since you aren't really using it until Tate and Liza, and energy ball is much better than leaf blade because it is special.

[@owenaspinall2046]

Although I guess evolution cutscenes are time killers

[@wonderlandzer0]

All your bathroom breaks were giving me ANXIETY oml 😂 congrats on the win!!!

[@CrankierOak]

Captain kidds power was soo much he gave everyone a 15 min cushion and still won!!!

[@SenShiness]

The fact that u feel back and still made it 👏 daim that’s skill

[@julianusapostata6677]

I waited for this

[@majesticespeon3126]

Congrats Braden

[@theumman]

I knew you had won the second you picked Lanturn, my Boi never let's you down.

[@Bj-vd2tp]

That is a nice thumbnail. Big up for whoever made that.

[@GODENERUONE]

You are very fun to watch ,oh captain my captain

[@Entity-of-Justice]

"The starter I haven't used up to this point" he says after showing us him using it in Tate & Liza.

[@FanksCast]

Bro you just got rekt by shanks in one piece

[@arassisok]

That Thumbnail is fire!!!

[@boredspecter8025]

Bro got his redemption arc

[@camheclutch1]

[@josephdambrosio5061]

[@h0m3st4r]

Your Swellow was the MVP for sure.

[@iceskate4evah]

I have the hardest time with long streams. I’m always having to panic run to the toilet

[@pufferfishboi4686]

Anyone know what song this is? 23:47

[@toopienator]

Yo game broke 3 times and you still won. Crazy

[@TWM_Cell]

THATS MY KZbinR RIGHT THERE LETS GOOOOO

If I want to download the version of Emerald where all the Magma/Aqua story beats are skipped, does anyone know what I should look up?

Pokemon Emerald Speedchoice EX

Kidd used Skill Swap and took Jacob's luck

[@owenaspinall2046]

Skill Swapped his super luck Absol

[@Animedingo]

How do I get that squirtle mod?

[@Devin-sz7oh]

killed it. gg, here from alpharad's page

[@wakeupfilthy]

showdown tournament next!

[@batzoro]

The fact that he lost 15 minutes and still won is insane o7

[@gameguy1337]

Captain Kidd is Brock confirmed. "Go Onix"

[@owenaspinall2046]

Truly the pinnacle of your gaming career. No recent events could definitively top this. Nope.

[@bigdaniel2159]

Tbf, CJ also didn't wipe on the elite four :D

[@hydraXD_]

Alpha’s vid basically skipped over your technical difficulties, so this was a nice new perspective 😂

[@BboiMainChannel]

The e4 made me sub

[@baconlando4569]

I was about to watch alpharad’s video until I saw this in my reccomended without finishing it 😔

[@chantetm4405]

[@koradestiny]

Onyx is still bitter about the jynx situation

[@valmanway1844]

Onix strikes back

[@Walt_Raleigh]

What the hell was Alpharad doing with those 15 mins? Apart from going out of the way to get thunderbolt

[@firewolf096]

It was a close match between you and alpharad

[@WarriorofRed]

Braiden: I was the only one who didn't wipe during the Elite 4 Didn't Cjya technically lose to Tate a Liza(and couldn't re-fight them with his single unknown)?

[@anonymoushealer1475]

Alpharad didnt pick natu who learns teleport at lvl9 so he didnt monopolize teleport
