I don't think there is anything wrong with allowing the friendship mechanic to work. It really just proves how much your pokemon loves you and you don't seem to have done anything about the dodges that were caused by it. Great video!

[@wyattsharp1350]

You should do a dude lock, where you can only use pokemon that have some relation to your channel

[@davidkarlsenjespersen2017]

Geoduee is in the dlc so maybe

[@urmommaster1483]

yeah, fr

[@francesmcallister3245]

KZbin luck

[@loud_toaster]

That would be cool

[@robertsymank4571]

Yes!!!

[@syotankisses843]

The double shiny fail for Forretress was definitely painful, but the sacrificial explosion during the Sada fight after you finally got it somehow was both hilarious and painful at the same time 😂. Definitely needed a good laugh today so thank you for that. 😂 Very entertaining video all around will definitely be watching this video more than once! 😁

[@Gentledude.]

It was soul crushing to say the least...

[@Itz_Hailstorm]

You could say osiris went out with a bang

[@AsassinoSilenzioso]

To me the affection mechanics are a neat flavour bonus for the nuzlocke. You punished yourself for surviving a Brave Bird, but you never said anything about dodging an attack due to the same mechanic. Since you cannot stop the affection building up, unless doing very boring and convoluted stuff, to me you should take advantage of this. You shouldn't rely on it, but at the same times it isn't wrong or cheap if it triggers. Keep up the excellent quality, you are a great content creator!

[@LemonyRanpo]

You genuinely have to be some of the funniest and most enjoyable content on KZbin. The pokemon nuzzlockes/shiny runs are so fun, and your jokes throughout, fast paced editing and general smile and lovely personality keep it an utter joy to watch!

[@Gentledude.]

what.. that’s so nice! thank you 🙏🏽🤍

[@LemonyRanpo]

@@Gentledude. And totally deserved! While I've got you here, I'd love to see a ghost/dark type nuzzlocke next you can

[@Crazylegs677]

I get the biggest hit of dopamine hearing Gentledude go "Yes!" or "Yaaay!" Whenever he finds a shiny.

[@Lo0serx3]

I respect your decision, but I think the friendship mechanic is ok. idk, you see examples of it in the anime all the time lol so it's consistent within the series that bonds between trainer and pokemon can make it out of tough situations. I don't mind your perspective tho, it made the run that much more interesting to watch to the end of!

[@S1L3NTSIR3N]

Yet another stellar, exemplary, outstanding, prodigious, breathing, synonyms video from Gentledude! Keep up the work, king! I have no doubt you'll be a youtuber before you know it!

[@Gentledude.]

one day 🤞🏽🤞🏽

[@DannyRayqu]

Since it's random I don't think the friendship mechanic is something you need to punish yourself over, after all crits also happen because of it and you didn't punished yourself for it did you? 😅 it's like the integrated exp share, it's just part of the game now

[@nathanm1748]

Id love to see you do a team rocket (Jessie and James) run.... Only aloud to use Pokemon they owned. Meowth, Arbok, Seviper, Yanmega, Mimikyu, Weezing, Victoreebell, Growlithe, Cacnea, Chimecho, Amoungus, and Marinie. I think theyre all the avalible encounters with the dlc mons included.

[@silent_hunter012]

You forgot peliper but good idea

[@QJCosmic]

I’ve been binging your stuff 😂 Literally some of the best paced and humorous challenge runs 🔥

[@Birdie1212]

Same!

[@Nedflanders1]

I know he is the best KZbinr

[@Gentledude.]

thank you dude! i appreciate that a lot 🙏🏽

[@Midnax123]

Bug has always been my favorite type!!! I'm so glad to see some love for them.

[@Gentledude.]

thank you so much!! yeah i love em too now 🫶🏽

[@McBlah1324]

As a bug trainer myself, welcome to the club! The rate at which you’re putting these videos out is insane, glad I stumbled across your content, keep up the good work!

[@Its_Asteria]

Bug types are my favorite types, volcarona and its paradox forms and pre-evo being my favorite pokemon in the series. So when I see content like this featuring bug types, its very enjoyable cause it proves that the bug type has potential, especially after gen 5 when the bug type got a bit of a buff and had a lot of good additions, and since then there've been a lot of good bug type additions. however they still have their weaknesses which is why its important to use strategy and planning when using bug types I adore this video it was a good watch

[@ItzDave__]

It’s actually mad impressive the battling you do in these videos to not lose your Pokémon

[@JustJamieonYT]

Neith is punished by death due to friendship yet nepthsis avoids a move due to friendship and goes unpunished... JUSTICE FOR NEITH!!

[@syl0ver718]

Yoo!! I love your vids so much, they are so entertaining and you are literally the only KZbinr I watch ❤

[@TheRegionalVariantMaster]

Personally i think the friendship mechanic fits the nuzlocke setting better than it not having it. You are supposed to be super attached to these pokemon it would only make sense for it also to work the other way around so the loss is even more devastating when it does happen

[@Ferrastar]

A few people have had similar comments, but the friendship mechanic solidifies the nuzlocke for me as it demonstrates the bond that you build with the Pokémon on your team. If you are going to punish them for toughing it out and not fainting then by rights you need to do the same when they land a crit wanting to be praised or dodge an attack by your shout.

[@thomascecil4428]

I stumbled across your videos a couple of days ago. Honestly can say you are one of the best pokemon content creators I've seen, just so entertaining! Keep up the good work fella 😁

[@Gentledude.]

thank you!!

[@bliissade]

Soon as I saw the explosion of Forretress I knew what was gonna happen. Great video and a really cool type to see used! Can't wait for the next challenge!

[@chachingboy1]

Great video! I agree with Lokix being sick, actually a really cool and decent mon. Also, Grusha is a he?! Damn, he's got pretty eyes. I'm also curious as to how long each shiny took.

[@Rhyzilla]

For a fun bonus, Titan Clawf doesn't even know a rock move

[@lightguardian]

Bugs are great When I was dealing with johto my Butterfree helped me a lot as a sweeper with sleep powder (compound eyes almost 100% ACC )and quiver dance

[@Permament]

wow Gentledude has been growing so much good job your almost at 30K subs keep up the great work

[@kai-cheesecatt]

I love bug type pokemon!! Nice video c:

[@wowjennawow]

been binge watching your videos, super excited to see this pop up in my sub box!

[@vggeist644]

Love the bug appreciation 🧐 bugs been my fave type since the beginning, have done bug runs in every game

[@brittanyking3524]

Literally just got done watching some older videos cuz I like them and now I have another video to watch. Love your content.

[@xurxurlawolf3995]

Lokix is one I've been meaning to use, it seems under appreciated and quite strong.

[@Gentledude.]

i’ve been a fan since it came out!

[@Poketrainervic]

I’m so glad you made another video, I was hoping you would! You inspire me to do my own nuzlockes!

[@anyathepanther7977]

"The Stakes have never been higher!" *Steak gets elevated* I like this Guy already.🙂

[@Gentledude.]

i’m glad someone appreciated the steak 🥲😂

[@Milotics_Melody]

"It's synonyms." I know this appears in your videos, but I get a good laugh every time you say it. Nice name theme: Egyptian Deities. Edit to add: for some reason, I heard you say "It's cinnamon" so now I hope a future nuzlocke you do will have a naming theme of herbs and spices.

[@FalloutFan011]

After finding your channel very recently, I found a renewed love of Pokemon, and NO JOKE shortly after finishing one of your nuzlocke videos I found a shiny slugma AND a shiny Carbink both within the HOUR😅 Anyways Absolutely love your content and subscribed immediately because of your fantastic personality😁😁👍👍

[@Gentledude.]

That's awesome! Thank you so much!

[@G59gang]

Every time gentledude uploads it just makes my day

[@Birdie1212]

Your videos are insane. They are unbelievably good and I really enjoy your content. Tysm for all of your hard work. Btw my first full odds shiny was also a taroundtula

[@Gentledude.]

thank you so much!!

[@ShinySneasler]

YAY FINALLY!!! I’m so happy bugs are my favorite type, I’ve been looking forward to this!

[@TheRealDuster]

As someone who's favorite type is bug, I appreciate this a lot, you've earned a sub my dude!

[@MYMAINWHYTRY]

This is my first video on the channel, but I can tell you are an up and coming nuzzlocke youtuber and I can’t wait to see you grow! If you reply to this that would make my day

[@Flossmoth]

the time and effort that must go into these is insane!! such a sick video🔥

[@Gentledude.]

first off i LOVE your username, but yeah they do take a while.. but the love that you guys are showing on the videos is just insane

[@Gentledude.]

so it’s all more than worth it!

[@Flossmoth]

@@Gentledude. thank you!! well the love is well deserved, and I’m sure that there’s plenty more to come too with how amazing your content is✨

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Awesome video Scizor basically carried but others did there job too when needed Surprised also didn't get Vivillon to fill the numbers if anything

[@archerspects]

Heyo! This was an awesome video! Keep it up Gentledude!

[@Thegamergabe4.0]

I am so hyped, this is the perfect timing! Can’t wait wait to finish and give my thoughts!

[@JonathanTaylor-gb4fz]

If I was Siri and I was asked for a number 1-5 I would say what for? And he would be like: to sack a shiny Pokémon, 10 seconds of silence. Then siri says: 6😂

[@Gentledude.]

i hope you enjoyed it 👀

[@JonathanTaylor-gb4fz]

@@Gentledude. I did a lot😁

[@Thegamergabe4.0]

@@Gentledude.oh I did! That was funny, entertaining, and I enjoyed the small edits and fun commentary. Sadge to see the small Combee be fodder… too bad you couldn’t get a vespiqueen outbreak. I liked that mon. However, can’t deny the fun ending with Forrtress… rip

[@ZelTheGr8]

your content really gets me through shiny hunting. much love.

[@Gentledude.]

s’what im here for 🫶🏽

[@execution3458]

Love the vids man keep up the great work. Nice naming theme love the Egyptian gods

[@Lukecarey-sd2ik]

What a absolute crazy ass beast of a soldier you are to put your run in jeopardy all because the grace of RNGeodude allowed your Neith to show you a bit of love by hanging onto life by the skin of a Walrein’s left tusk…. Only for you to order Siri to sign off on the ruthless, gold blooded execution of your poor Anubis. Good job their wasn’t a morale brain fart when the love mechanic saved some lives previously either by a bit of dodging or confusion break through. But really the ethical bit of back and forth makes for a good bit of fun! Amazing job on another top class Nuzzie mini movie. 🎉

[@robertrodriguez3784]

Man your content is so entertaining. I hope you get more engagement. Your editing, storytelling and overall content is just a joy to watch. Keep it up!

[@Red-cs3cs]

My first time watching one of your videos and i love the edits and energy in the video cant wait to see future videos!

[@thisistheescapeplan]

I honestly couldn't even imagine having the patience to do full odd searches lol. What a beast

[@Gentledude.]

yeah it takes patience that’s for sure haha

[@robertsymank4571]

Next, can you do a run with only using shiny electric types?

[@oliviav-s5186]

Gentledude falls further in love with Grusha every single nuzlocke it’s great

[@Blueninjawilliam]

Yooo it’s about Dahm time your such a huge inspiration for me I love your videos and havnt missed a single one thank you for being so awesome

[@Alex_Toscanacci]

hello gentledude! I'm happy with this video, I also made a monotype bug (but not shiny) now I'm watching the video and I hope to see another video of yours soon, bye!

a beautiful story of love lost and battles one... love the name theme!

I have found that everyone who tries bug pokemon just grows to love them. I tried these guys because Leavanny was pretty cool, and I just caught the fever

I love bug Pokémon X:) my favorite is Venonat. It's literally just a fuzzy sphere with big eyes that are full of love.

[@ChaosRaptor]

Soo good! Glad I subscribed! Love your nuzlockes!

[@VernalQuill]

Whenever I get out of school and see you have a new video posted. I get so happy.

[@notorious.vilmaris]

Now, you have to do shiny dark or dragon type Pokémon! I really enjoy your videos 😊

[@kindredlychaotic4458]

Whilst I personally adore the friendship bonuses, especially in nuzlockes, I believe you can counter them by healing your pokemon with herbal medicine, (as it's bitter and they don't like it apparently?) as it will lower your friendship points with a pokemon and the bonuses trigger less often. Not optimal for friendship evos, but I think it should work with the other mons

[@tyrano1982]

I suscribed to you because you did more of those full odds shiny, it's full respect to have the patience to do something like this, also love your editor chan! Super fun!

[@Haydenort]

So glad you made this gentledude, the bug type is definitely one of my favorites and is so slept on❤

it was a blast to play through!

[@mistahjenkins4826]

​@@Gentledude. I'm glad to hear. Trust me, I'm super tired of seeing people do Bug mono runs and start with "BUG-TYPE WORST TYPE", like the Ice-Type doesn't exist for pete's sake.
