I Attempted a Bootleg Pokémon Nuzlocke

I attempted to beat a Hardcore Nuzlocke of hit mobile game, Drakomon. A monster taming RPG similar to Pokémon featured in Alpharad's "NOT POKEMON" video from 2017. A "bootleg" Pokémon, if you will...Is it even possible? Who knows??

Geez. You can tell this is a mobile game not by the bad graphics, not by the bad battle system, not by poor in game balance, but by the egregious amount of time they want you to sit there and level up while they force feed you as many ads as humanly possible. Good God, how did you have the patience?

My best guess is content creation

if this had any less polygons I would think this was a ROBLOX game

Gah! It's April 3rd already where I am. I guess I need to buckle up for international Gags and Guffaws week.

Took 9 minutes for the realization that it is in fact April Fools to set in.

[@joelnub9547]

man, all the clauses in this game really make it one of the most complex nuzlockes out there

[@Spannondorf]

Truly disappointing that you can't get Petragon in Pokemon Ultra Moon. He'd be my favorite guy in a Wonderlocke.

[@specs.weedle]

Too bad wonderlockes are dead now. Planned obsolescence sucks.

[@semkix667]

What's a wonderlock?

[@oceanna7550]

Nuzlocke where when you catch an encounter, you Wonder Trade it away and whatever you get becomes your encounter... Basically a randomizer in a way. ​@semkix667

boy are there a lot of clauses in this nutzlocke

All this suffering just for an April fool's video, that is commitment

[@TimothyJohnsonTLJblade]

I remember playing this app before. The only reason I stopped was literally because they didn’t add the lightning arena update yet. Wow, two years later. What progress to be added LMAO! 🤣

[@moonymoonlight]

not metagon evolving into METAGONITE 😭😭😭 that's just heartbreaking

[@Bambingobongo]

So many clauses in this video, and it’s not even Christmas! 🎅

[@NerdyTransformed]

I see what ya did there

[@clydefroge9316]

It sure is convient that they updated the hardcore nuzlocke rules to include all these new clauses

[@c.s8391]

For some reason, I'm actually able to see logic in the "Air>Lightning" idea. Lightning will always try to find the most efficient way to the ground, and something that is not grounded is thus not likely to be struck. At least, it's something like that, though I doubt that the devs of the game though about that lol.

[@zacharygoldman3321]

6:21 getting a Pokemon I mean Drakomon that you already have is perfectly legal. It even says in the dupes clause definition: "If a player already owns the first Poke err Drakomon (they encounter) of an area, they MAY continue battling until they encounter one they do not."

[@harrisonpenn4749]

It literally just became a normal playthrough yet it was as difficult as a normal nuzlock that is if a nuzlock was made poorly and was created using ai

[@sunday1693]

I vaguelly remember playing this game when I was younger since I had no nintendo consoles to play pokemon, and some time ago I started wondering why I never finished the game and dropped it despite loving monster catching games. So *THAT’S* why.

[@gabesanders3095]

The clauses... So... Many...... Clauses

[@tashawnapraddy5482]

This man should go down in history for going through this heck of a game.

[@crazyand2099]

Watching these two streams was a treat. Kidd was PRAYING for the softlock.

[@mashedpotatoguy]

My favorite clause was the "no clause" clause: if i want to ignore previous clauses i can and will

[@alicebunnymera]

Id love to see you blind nuzlocke temtem. I enjoy it as much as pokemon and it has a nuzlocke mode built in

[@1Henrink]

I think you should have flashed all the clauses on screen at the start without ever explaining what they were.

[@irene7clover419]

You should play Nexomon, that's a game that's Pokemon like but is surprisingly good. Also I like the character designs in it

[@Macheman7]

I'm kind of surprised there weren't level up items. That's usually how these games work.

[@FarhanH1]

This was one of my fav videos of yours. Hilarious to watch you go through this abomination of a game and come up with different clauses just to get through it lol

[@Dracas42]

As far as april fools videos go, this one is certainly unique.

[@velo_GG]

how did they manage to ignore decades of game mechanics and design... while making a clone?? copy while reinventing the wheel in the worst ways possible?? its so confusing.

[@bionichuteagain2583]

doing nuzlockes in non-pokemon games is cool though

[@OmniMon94]

Even if this is an april fools video This game exists and it was interesting to see it be nuzlocked GG Kidd

[@darkhero5395]

There were so many clauses 😂

I love to see you do a yo Kai watch nuzlocke

I played this game as a kid, seeing the water champion reawakened some trauma

[@Maurin973]

you did such a good job putting up with this game. how did you do it xD also I see other comments suggesting non-pokemon games to nuzlocke and I would like to toss fossil fighters champions into the ring. it needs some adjustments for nuzlocking but it’s a good time! great video

[@SuperFloxes]

Everyone's talking about the hilariously-abundant clauses, but I'm too busy being irrationally bothered by how one of the 'mons is called 'Leafygon'. It sounds almost EXACTLY like 'Leafeon' and that is irritating me to no end.

This nuzlock might be the furthest thing I've seen from a nuzlock but a win is win

I somehow doubt this would count as a nuzloke

[@joshuamahon260]

I got almost half way through the video before realizing what day it was 😅

[@Erifire]

I genuinely remember playing this game with no ads for like 6 hours straight.

[@drbowser166]

I have an idea that came to mind for a Nuzlocke challenge idea for you. 4 player Soul Locke challenge of Monster Hunter Stories 1 (when the remake comes out) and 2. Reason I say 4 players is that mainline Monster Hunter games are played in groups of up to 4 hunters all playing together to hunt monsters at the same time. So why not 4 Riders connected together in a run to emulate that?

[@guccigamers3585]

You should try to do a nuzlocke of nexomon extinction! I think that it would be a nice challenge because everything scales to you, and the routes are very hard to define. Also, pretty much every area is availiable from the start, so good luck encounter routing!

[@nevenpatrk9661]

Credit to you for going through this game. It looks absolutely awful.

[@FoxMan_FF]

I'm glad someone else decided to unearth this game. Sure, it's scuffed as all hell but I do kinda have to admire the fact that this was all done by one dude, and better quality than most of the trash you can find on the Google Play store (not that there's exactly a high bar, mind you).

[@jakekoehler1]

Woah Brayden actually released a video!!

[@jellyfishgaming1216]

The fact that captain made so many clauses for this ripoff is hilarious 😂😂

[@gabesanders3095]

Hello captain. It's good to see you and I thank you for posting. If you are willing. I would love to see you try Pokemon elite Redux. You will enjoy, if not already played

[@electricerger]

It's really a bad design philosophy they took. You need to design for the zenith of experience you want first (premium players), then add in monetization for F2P.

[@nerdisnopinata8892]

can't believe i played this game with trading out any of the dragons when i was little. what was i thinking

[@LeapyGeck]

I was lowkey expecting Dynamons , but not drakomon💀, this game is somehow more unbalanced than a seesaw with a 3 ton boulder on one side.

[@IamBardsongWolf]

Here's a game suggestion: Monster Galaxy. It is a Zodiac based monster collecting game. I used to play it back when Facebook gaming was a thing. I tried the mobile version and my gosh..it got downgraded so badly.

[@chikoritagreat]

i did it as a kid and was super mad

[@zac9924]

I saw yo kai watch in the opening of this video and got so excited, I wish some pokemon youtubers would play it at some point, even just for the lols

The farthest I got into this game was to the boat that brings you to the island with the water region… with ads… I never wanted to play that game again

I remember playing this game years ago 😂

[@TheDragon1276]

Next time you do a Non-Pokemon-Nuzlocke try Coromon, or Nexomon. Corydon would be my personal choice but either on is fine, because they won't bury you with adds and are made by developers who have an actual heart and soul for their games.

you should play evocreo next its really good

This game is frustrating. I never played it but I'm getting second hand frustration from watching its "rules" completely unfair. Also you sadly don't have a friend in mayor buzz apparently.

Can I submit a rom hack/fan game for these? In case it is terrible or something

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

I thought it was gonna be Digimon

[@slickrickjr8616]

The only good Pokemon copy game I found that r good on mobile is Nexomon, Evocreo, and Coromon. But they cost only like a dollar so yeah worth jt.

[@arcticfoxcookie]

Have you ever thought about playing nexomon?

[@nothing_here.5]

Hey YOU! After playing trash, why didn't you play some peak like 'Coromon', you should.
