Time Investment - JoCat Does a Nuzlocke in Pokemon Platinum #5

[@JoCat]

MASSIVE apologies about the reupload, I miscredited the artists in the fanart portion at the end of the video. They have since been fixed, apologieze for the inconvenience.

[@epicureanbard]

Okay, that explains it. You're cool

[@chrono5220]

At least you fixed the credits so the people who did the art are recognized your forgiven JoCat!

[@felixkrafft4084]

btw your nuzlocke is sad, but awesome, so dont stop. 😊

[@someoneusedtobeknown2645]

Imagine "apologieze"

[@QuantumLeap215]

Huge respect for all your hard work to get it just right!

[@The_Court_Poet]

I love how Kite is being dragged along like a kite because if I remember the Pokémon Lore correctly Gligar can't fly on their own, they rely on the wind to carry them. Or something like that. If Joe did that on purpose then I got mad respects for remembring that. If not then Mad respect to the person in his livestream who suggested it!

[@NeroSonOfVergil101]

Kite doesn't really want this

[@_MimiTsuki_]

Joe: is discouraged by all the death and deletion of his progress *Sad soft boi noises* All his team comes to cheer him up *Sad audience noises*

[@dragonhunterneo1742]

That moment literally made me cry well done jocat only one other game made me cry tales from the borderlands episode 4 I believe I’m a person that doesn’t cry for video game characters but that moment and the one in this video hit me at my core

[@jasondunford5091]

I am offended by the lack of Gum in that whole sequence as she was my favorite... RIP Gum, she will be missed.

[@nathanmerrifield2309]

ngl, I almost cried at that moment.

[@thatjojolesbian]

Mimi Tsuki Bruh I’m legit sobbing someone help

[@GoldSky3717]

I did NOT need to cry today....

He can be so dumb sometimes. But everyone fucks up. Poor gum.

[@Vimdraa]

"If ditto turns into quagsire, you can't tell them apart!" This literally happened in the anime. :D

[@TOSkwar22]

You know, I still kinda hate that whole thing about Ditto... Originally, all Ditto in all media mimicked other pokemon flawlessly. Then there was one episode of the anime where a Ditto couldn't do it, even though it was either implied or outright stated that OTHER DITTO COULD. It was just THIS PARTICULAR DITTO that couldn't do the faces. As a matter of fact, by the end of the episode, that ditto CAN match the face as well. Meaning all Ditto are able to fully and perfectly replicate any pokemon, item, person, etc. ... Unless they start randomly throwing around dittoface on all kinds of things for no good reason because it was clearly stated and shown that Ditto can totally copy faces. Which they did.

[@brosephnoonan223]

@@TOSkwar22 It's for comic relief

[@patrick6829]

When jocat is grinding but the montage slows down: AHHHHHHH NOOOO

[@ethanotoroculus1060]

That animation near the midway point honestly was pretty beautiful.

[@theguardianangel4001]

legit had me crying

[@Introbulus]

Jocat: "Starvia please don't use Endeavor" Staravia: [Uses Endeavor immediately]

[@smithsmith6402]

I was legitimately horrified when I saw he was going to grind against those at double speed. Ironic that they weren't even what got him in the end.

[@BurningBlood517]

In this episode, Jo learns the importance of continuing on for those who have lost and for those he has yet to see.

[@Swagacity]

You stop that

[@Draeckon]

For those we have lost, for those we can yet save. One of my favorite lines from FF14...

[@rayriv14]

MY HEART. When Shield picked up your hat to give it back to you... With this face of "Y so sad Jo?" Then the rest of the team just pops up... AH MY EYES ARE LEAKING

[@Gojithefox]

When you finish this nuzlocke, I hope you do a hall of fame with all your partners that have accompanied you on this journey. I love the additional tidbits you added to their personalities when you catch them, and having them all in one video would be amazing.

[@ROYBGP]

Never will finish it sadly.

[@RukilEngetsu]

The roller coaster of emotions that goes on in this nuzlocke....it hurts to watch 😢

[@thatguynamedgabestyfy8348]

RukilEngetsu Xcom player: first time

[@tenacityxl]

It’s as stressful as watching your child go through surgery

[@RukilEngetsu]

The animating made it much more real than i was ready for. I don't know if I could ever do a nuzlocke

[@slowmo5186]

Yes I know I re-posted this joke, but I am committed to have this seen by others Jocat before nuzlocke: This will be a tough, but fun experience, like Sekiro. Jocat after sometime in nuzlocke: My friends are dead, my hopes and dreams are dead and now I am emotionless and dead.

[@Blizzic]

Said this on the last upload, but I’ll say it again: constantly astounded by the amount of love and effort you poor into your videos.

[@Florine.Xavalien]

Blizzic wait there’s no more of the nuzlocke coming?

[@thisisausername9356]

No by last upload they probably meant last episode or last video they made

[@endermangames1112]

Shield died so he ended it

[@Puliping8918]

20:38 You just never quit, do you? Took out Giovanni, woke up the Snorlax, and now half of what I hear on the streets is how much you and your team are making a difference. And that's why I started this whole trainer thing in the first place. People are still waiting for the Elite 4 to lead the way, but it's time for a change! And trainers like you are making it happen. No pressure.

[@thechosen7421]

Yeesss,I love this and the reference lol

[@flar1ng]

“I love you chat. Except for that one guy. You know who you are...Phil” Me named Phil: “What did I do?”

IT IS UNSPEAKABLE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

You make me sick *ptue*

[@smelvin3406]

It's ok Phil no.2

[@jade3166]

Please continue this in December, I'm so in love with your devotion to your team. Your editing style for the vids is rad and your personality is very entertaining to watch! I need moar!

[@raizagal2443]

Dammit, Joseph... I love your animations, just sometimes you're just too wholesome. Your discouraged-reencouraged by your pokemon arc made a grown man cry.

[@samtrue3]

I'll be back in about an hour *1month later*

[@IzzyCoventina]

I got a bit teary eyed when that animation in the middle of the video showed Shield being the best boy and giving the hat back to you. Shield will forever be best Pokemon boy 💚

[@ScottK7048]

I'm absolutely loving this series. I like nuzlocks in general but the edited version that you do for KZbin is less of a slog to get through but I still get just as attached to the characters

[@alexanderlambert295]

Goddamn the FEELS! JoCat, you are a strong man for continuing this, and that little animation was absolutely splendid. I don't think I could ever do a nuzlocke run. I pray your losses are minimal in the future and your foes fall beneath your feet.

[@zacharywagner6054]

This is probably my favorite series on KZbin at the moment, currently watching it after losing my gligar and prinplup to the third gym. I believe in you JoCat!

[@tv-static4682]

“You defeated Gahl. You reformed the Tower. You just don’t stop, do you?” Sir I appreciate this.

[@origamilives222]

Shield be like: "All my friends are dead, push me to the edge..."

[@_MimiTsuki_]

Joe: okay guys this is gonna be a grinding stream, so get ready for a boring time *sad gum noises*

[@We_Are_Exodus]

The editing for this is top notch, probably my favourite Nuzlocke LP I've seen yet.

[@empoleon7750]

12:12- I was playing a Pokémon Sun Nuzlocke, and I had a Munchlax on my team. In my second battle with said Munchlax, I used Metronome, and it rolled Final Gambit, thereby killing itself.

[@destinstafford8713]

I just cried when shield grabbed the hat.

[@anothercub6958]

I love how Buoy looks in your animation. He looks like a long corgi

[@dracoshield2344]

Bouy is my favorite character in this run, for sure.

Reuploaded Video: Re-uploaded comment: 8:00-9:00 This is why I play Pokemon: They may be bits of code and data on a screen in a virtual world, but they're *MY* bits of data and code on a screen in a virtual world.

[@royal9743]

"Houndoom has no ears." Thank you. You just ruined my favourite Pokemon.

[@helixdr2623]

what if it's ears are just under the horns and the horns are fake

[@toddelmsworth640]

I saw Houndoom as this awesome ass pokémon, but now I see it's head as just a sausage with a snout and horns

[@priestesslucy]

@@helixdr2623 Its horns ARE its ears, they receive sound vibrations directly

[@laynegrey2003]

I didn't wanna like this, mostly because Houndoom cannot be ruined thank you, but... I needed to be the 69th like.

6:23 Shouldn't that say "totally legit software crashed"

[@77777thats67s]

"DS exploded"

I can't believe this came out 3 years ago. I still remember that beautiful montage at 7:52 so clearly which is why I started rewatching this Nuzlocke run. Thanks for taking the time to make it Joe, it really touched me and has a special place in my heart

[@styxbush1503]

If you get a gardavor, name it gun because high special attack

Things I somehow did not expect in a JoCat Nuzlocke: 1. Feels 2. Destiny 2 reference 3. Poke-Familicide

This is such a great nuzlocke series to watch, I know it's been a while since the last episode but I hope there will be more 👀 🙏

Man, I was not prepared for that animation bit in the middle there but *applause* Well done Jocat, very well done. I actually felt myself tearing up a bit, especially since I went and watched the playlist of your live stream of this.

[@binrhodeman2769]

That little team cheer up animation in the middle made me cry some real tears, that was so unbelievably sweet and I'm attached to every pokemon in this series 😭😭

[@PaperBonsa1]

The animation at 8:30 was SOOO wholesome! It hit me way harder than I probably should have, but it was adorable!

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

Aaaw this is the sweetest series! I do love this, except that bit about Houndoom. I knew before but managed to forget.

[@mariekjepower]

Whelp that is the first time I teared up during a Nuzlocke. That animation you made really hit me, it's beautiful

[@TheBetterOnToast]

Its been many months since Jo played this, maybe someday we will get a part 6

[@Draeckon]

Apparently he did finish it, he just never got around to doing the editing for KZbin.

[@ROYBGP]

It ended up pretty tragic. Just never made videos about it. A loooot of Pokémon died.

[@zacharyhutter9085]

Holy cow. I was sitting there thinking "you know, this Bayonetta track doesn't really fit." And then BAM the evolution timed with the jump in intensity had me bobbing my head along. Good job, JoJo. That was awesome

[@xcelgraffiti]

You know shit's 'bout to go down when the timelapse stops

[@silenceofallthings]

@JoCat You absolute monster... I have a heart of stone, but when your Pokemon surrounded you and gave you your hat back... I shed a tear...

[@The_Court_Poet]

That crying animated part tugged ALL my heart strings! Stay faithful and become the very best Joe! You will be better like noone ever was!

[@j.corbygaming]

I cried at the video, this journey is just so impactful. You earned a subscriber

[@aurias42]

awwwww that cinematic around 8-9 minutes in was so cute and wholesome... that face on the grotle was priceless

[@starflight_cometfall8906]

8:40 This is me in literally any nuzlocke after I lose a good chunk of my main team. They losses get easier, and that it's just a game, but you become invested in that game even if it seems silly to those who don't play pokemon. Jocat, never stop loving those pokemon, even if it hurts when you lose them. It makes their victories so much sweeter, and the journey all the better.

[@setteplays]

Trying to read the chat while jocat grinds: "AAAAAAAAAAA nooooooooo it dies BUT GUM CRIES petition.org"

[@laynegrey2003]

I have a heavy respect for you. I love your content, after just finding you this morning. I'm grateful to be able to watch such good content.

[@BlackShadow1991]

Jo's Batman impressions are hilarious :D also, I love that the Pokemon composition updates in the animation, huge props for skill :)

[@jakefelstet7116]

the thing is that he never came back from dinner :(

[@FonVegen]

Wait, they're Hyper Balls in Japan as well? So the *English* translation got it wrong for once, not the German one. More related to the video: I can only agree with what others have already said. It's amazing how much effort you put into these videos, and after almost being wiped out and having to box most of my own team (except for a Cherrim of all things, instead of the fallen Magnezone, Luxray, and others) in my own nuzlocke run of Platinum today while trying to get through Victory Road I can feel your pain.

[@lodestarting]

CONGRATS JOSEPH YOU MADE ME CRY WITH THAT SOMBERLY STUNNING AND SMOOTH ANIMATION I HOPE YOU ACHIEVED WHAT YOU SET OUT TO

[@trevorweisberg8470]

That animation near the end of the first third of the video was the saddest, happiest, and cutest thing I've ever seen

[@wokstar99]

While watching this video I was playing my own nuzzlocke on Lets Go Eevee and I lost my level 40 clefable when it did self destruct from metronome, her name was charity and it took so much grinding to get her to that point :(

[@haydes8628]

Ok but that animatic had more emotion than any oscar winning performance I've ever seen

[@BrokenRazorButterfly]

How dare you having me tear up ovdr an animation that embodies the emotion of a nutzlocke and poekmons message of friendship better than anything pokemon related ?!?

[@castincactus7339]

You KING, that beautiful animation, almost cried

[@Taijirai]

Jo, I just want to say I am honored you chose Hotdog to stay on your team. Houndour and Houndoom are the best boys and my favorite Pokemon, so seeing it represented gives me much happiness and all types of excitement. I hope one day he will help you win the game and make you proud. Do your best

Second time you've made me cry with that animation?? I think it's the personalities or how upset you sound almost everytime someone faints but like. G o d this hurts my heart- For the record this is probably the tenthish? Nuzlocke I've watched and not only was it first to make me cry, but you made me cry t w i c e

The first Pokemon to make me cry from someone else's nuzlocke) -Sword the Dewgong -Fork the Golduck -Dark the Weezing and Soul the Arbok -Gum the Mew, one of the only pokemon worthy of being named after such a hero ;-; -Omlette the Duduo

It has a level of effort and heart put into it which just isn’t matched by other similar series on KZbin. I understand if the next part has been delayed but I just really hope you haven’t abandoned it because I really, really wanna see this through to the end, whether that end is triumph or tragedy.

For anyone who doesn't want to deal with No$GBA crashes, grab the latest version of Desmume, uncheck enable advanced bus level timing (huge speed up right here, even my buddy on a 2nd gen i5 could run it at normal speeds) in the Emulation settings. In the 3D settings use some variation of Open GL depending on your GPU. Do not use SoftRasterizer. It's terrible. And under Display method select DirectDraw if you want to capture or stream it. Otherwise Desmume will likely crash upon video capture. The latest version(s) [0.9.12x] of Desmume with these settings is easily as fast or faster, depending on your hardware, than No$GBA and is far more reliable and stable.
