We have condensed the entire game of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 into a single video. A massive amount of work went into this project, and my editor Cloe has worked exceptionally hard on it. We wanted to do Gen 5 of Pokemon justice and represent as much as humanly possible. Please go send love for Cloe, and I hope everyone enjoys the video. You can also watch the previous Pokemon Black and White Nuzlocke via the link in the description. Thank you

Honestly looking at this game, I think the reason is so good is that it's a sequel. It's not "the last game but with some extra end game" or "the last game but updated". It's a full new game set in the same region multiple years later with a plot based off of the first game. That adds so much flavour and story quality, it just dunks on everything else because of this. I wish this is how they did remakes, not just HD versions of games but revisiting the regions and expanding them

[@fireradfieritis8953]

What the Ultra games should have been, honestly. The plotline itself would have been fine if it acted as a continuation from the previous games, but they made it an alternate universe with the same character/general events and just... Meh.

[@bolt_beam]

I think Hugh is one of the better ways they did a rival. Basically, they didn’t give him the same goal as the protagonist, in fact he preferred when the player won because it meant that they would be more helpful in taking down Team Plasma. They gave him one of the more grounded goals, it wasn’t becoming the strongest, it was just saving his sisters Pokémon, a keepsake of their late grandfather. Obviously he was kind of underwhelming strength wise, but he was one of the few characters who threw hands so it’s fine. If you read the BW2 adventures manga chapter, you’d understand why he feels the way he does about Team Plasma, it made me like him way more at least.

[@grenien4109]

honestly the manga kinda did these games dirty way too short

[@ArtzyZero]

I feel Hugh doesn't get enough credit and just gets meme'd on as the guy finding his nameless sister's Pokémon. He was willing to do exactly what the protagonists do without their plot armour, take down the main villains of the game. I feel it says a lot that he already had a Pokémon and could've left whenever he wanted but he left with the player, he knew he couldn't do it alone and was counting on us from the beginning. He knows the pain of losing a Pokémon and what it does to someone, so he's very determined to stop it happening again, to the point where he'll lecture others about caring for their Pokémon. He also goes through the 'not everything is black and white' character development as he comes to accept not all members of Team Plasma were 'evil' and some genuinely wanted to help Pokémon. The fact that he's found at Team Plasma's home in the postgame for daily battles says a lot about how he's been able to forgive the members of Team Plasma. Also not showing Hugh punching the Team Plasma grunt in the highlights is a crime. XD

[@emperortoho]

@@grenien4109 its understandable if you know how it was made, given it was running alongside the other adventures manga as a webcomic iirc, and was sparsely updated in comparison theres way too many pokemon games for kusaka and yamamoto to be able to adapt otherwise which sucks

[@HazeEmry]

​@@zapatron1939it's stressful is what it is

[@ZoeyAnonschild]

Even luckier when you consider that since Grief was on such low health, the AI opts for a completely random attacking move (it wouldn’t have gone for Thunder Wave since Grief was paralysed, but idk if a Pokemon could go for that in another scenario). So the odds of Togekiss going for Air Slash (the only of Togekiss’ three attacks that can miss) is 1/3, the odds of Air Slash missing being 1/20 and then Grief not getting paralysed being 3/4. So the odds of Grief surviving is 1/80, or 1.25% Edit: Grief is a Ghost type, so the Togekiss wouldn’t have ever gone for ExtremeSpeed or Aura Sphere, so the maths isn’t as accurate as initially depicted, but I’ll keep it there because

First poke you attack it normally, killing it in two turns (while breaking your sash from its attack), and then you use Destiny Bond on the second 'mon. Then you go 2v1 on the last one. I remember that I also went with a Choice Specs Starmie for its BoltBeam coverage. Can't remember the 3rd mon. You can even clean with Gengar sometimes, OHKO'ing the first mon and then do the strats on the 2nd and 3rd mon. Hope it helps if you want to try it :) hahah

Only thing lucario does better than other fighting and steel types is being a fast mixed attacker with setup moves for both special and physical but sword dance all the way basically. And stoutland has stab return, fire fang, ice fang and an optional move for very good coverage. Return minces non rock and steels and fire fang minces the steels. Steel is also a not good offensive typing especially for lucario as fighting covers all of steel’s useful offensive traits. Sure if you need a fighting type. Riolu is your best bet no doubt for accessibility.

The Cynthia Fight at the end is BRUTAL. Not only is it BRUTAL, its nerfed from what it should be. Garchomp would normally have a Berry, generally a Sitrus or Yache (This one halves the damage of Ice Type moves), and Garchomp should have had Swords Dance instead of Fire Blast. If this Garchomp had been perfectly faithful to her original team, you would have been swept by it. The Sitrus would have stopped your kill on it, and it would have set up a swords dance and sweeped you.

[@HypernovaBolts11]

Can't wait for Jan to react. That's when the REAL content starts. On the real though thank you for walking me back down the roads I traveled in my childhood. The Unova games were my first main series Pokémon titles. Cheers, Dan.

[@realkingofantarctica]

1:47:41 "The way failure and [Name] have" is actually an incredibly hard and palpable line if it's in the context of having a grudge against someone or wanting revenge.

[@Birdthefeatheredone]

My interpretation of the swords of justice appearing to you so readily is that they recognize the threat Team Plasma represents and seek you out to join the fight against Kyurem.

[@DrVella]

Only in RT streams do people become parents, marry eachother, propose to eachother, etc. And that's part of the reason we love them

[@chickenman6305]

I gotta say I am loving these 2+ hour videos

[@daruk6423]

I remember when my old year 4 class was cleaning out our books we got to take some home, so my teacher gave me a black and white 2 official guidebook that had a bunch of information. Like a page on all the routes with information on the Pokemon, catch rates, items and NPCs. I remember looking at this constantly, and you playing this reminded me of this and I looked for this and found it! Still quite helpful!

[@kriivah1745]

I love that RT not only plays an entire nuzlock but after that shows of every event and detail in the game that is available.

[@Shazam1998]

I dont think Hugh is mid tbh. Literally one of the only rivals that has motivation outside of: Im a dickhead or Im your best friend ever!

[@strangevol5264]

This is Gladion erasure smh smh (also Blue is in the latter category he’s just a lil stinker but is Red’s total bestie)

[@LycanMOON]

Gladion,blue,silver,and Hugh Though they may put up aggressive fronts at first half want to see you succeed and the others want to grow as people

[@NinjaPickle]

​@@strangevol5264 Exactly. People really exaggerate how much of a jerk Blue was. He was snarky, yes. And at the beginning of the game he was being a bit of a jerk, but over the course of the game he starts to be a lot more of a friendlier rival after recognizing your abilities as a trainer, while still thinking he was the stronger trainer. Silver was just an edgy jerk who never warmed up to you, and even at his friendliest he's still not that nice to talk to

[@FranTheNerd]

Silver blows him out of the water IMO

[@FranTheNerd]

@@NinjaPickle no? Silver had actual backstory and character growth that continues in media outside of heart gold and soul silver. His growth is amazing if you pay attention

[@SamuIise]

Pelipper's valiant struggle to catch Virizion (1:45:00) was so tense 😬 Thank you for your service!

[@insomniacnerd5592]

What I love about RtGame is that he’ll risk his entire team for the dumbest of reasons and it’s great.

[@trentonguarienti3389]

I like how the first instance of Patrat's old nickname wasn't censored and then three seconds later we get hit with that KZbin face.

[@rileyjackson2512]

I want a Pokémon game where the rival ends up joining the evil team out of frustration from losing to you

[@theapexsurvivor9538]

I reckon it could work well for the rising tensions from gym 3 onwards, with the final villain fight after gym 8 having them realise that it isn't actually worthwhile joining them because the evil team can't actually help your rival grow strong enough, so they just leave after stealing the obligatory Master Ball and disappear till the champion takes you to the hall of fame. You're just about to get your data recorded when you hear them shouting wait, and challenging you to one last battle, with the second legendary and a team that might be just a touch competitive, maybe just a little.

[@ryder98307]

But you are always beating the evil team too

[@stalesock4]

First it was daisy, now I’m expecting magmar for the next charity “if you guys donate enough money, I will force myself to love them” stream lol. Also if Chloé adds dark souls boss music to every magmar encounter I’ll lose my shit. And as always, massive props and thank you to Chloé for once again editing a monstrously large amount of footage in a timely manner. And Dan as well, for dying to ducks.

[@liallen9380]

Naming Rosa Success and declaring BW2 as his favorite are why I love this lad. Truly based.

[@Indrijid]

I feel like Grief needs to be taken through a few more generations of Nuzlocke just for surviving that last one. What a trooper!

[@demon794]

Idk man, I feel like Grief deserves a nice retirement after such a stressful existence 😅

[@cainprescott4937]

As another commenter said, Grief can retire in peace and change their name to Acceptance.

[@HazeEmry]

Grief is in S/V now! :D

[@thetreyceratops2242]

Send Grief against Wally, Mustard, Nemona, Kieran, Cyrano, make him know true fear

[@dirtburger2773]

hearing RT praise oshawott, my very first starter and one of my favorites, after hearing him hate on my special guy in the other nuzlocke and arceus, is a dopamine hit i wasn't expecting also 59:53 me when I first played amogus with my friend, got imposter, and threw the game by not killing anyone

[@james_i_guess]

Grief dodging that air slash and killing Cynthia’s Togekiss was such a hype moment. I feel as if this extended my love for Chandelure even more. Grief is truly the goat

[@HazeEmry]

Through Paralysis too. Simply amazing

[@allieg4178]

The 45 minutes of audino grinding was my favorite part of the live. A sweet solace from the extREME ANXIETY of everything after that point

[@Special_Sharpie]

Peliper being named "Reliable" is so fitting lol

[@rhysofsneezingdragon1758]

Especially in gen 5.

[@aaronb5065]

There is nothing mid about Hugh he is in my opinion the most motivated and well-written rival in the series. My man is on a valiant quest to save his sister’s Purrloin

[@iasomnium919]

It's all fun and games until you steal a child's pokemon. Team grunt: *steals a funny little cat* Hugh: "So you have chosen death."

[@katiemckinney9456]

The only thing Team Plasma will be catching is Hugh's hands.

[@dobregt]

A solid drinking game would be "Take a shot everytime a crit puts RT's Pokemon from full to red health". So many mini-heart attacks

[@GeneralAllan]

It is such a shame that I played through these games as an incompetent 8 year old way back in 2012. The amount of content and legendaries I’m realizing I missed makes me want to do it all over again. I even kinda want to play Pokémon White just for the memory link content. Yet it was such a blessing too, I’ve never had more fun with a Pokémon game than I did with White 2. In fact I’d say it was because of my inexperience that I got so much enjoyment out these games. It probably took me more than 100 hours to beat the elite 4 with my most basic of teams. It’s also the only game I naturally levelled a Pokémon up to 100 without candies. My level 100 Emboar named “Omegaflame” sits in the PC box enjoying his much earned retirement after carrying me through all of the game.

[@GeneralAeon]

We had such similar experiences ! I used my emboar all the way, I got the 3 legendary Pokemon on the main routes as part of the story and one more but was unaware of just how much post game there is to this. Wish I could understand pokemon now to enjoy it again

[@MrZrbrownie]

I love how much time was spent exploring post game content. Most nuzlockes hard stop at the Champion, but i love the showcase for those who never experienced these games.

[@milkman6883]

DRINKING GAME: Take a shot whenever Dan says “Correct is the *correct* play here” or equivalent

[@Folox_1]

I love how i can just hear pkChallenges saying that he should just use Rare Candys in the first minutes

[@CrowitzerTheHoloFan]

Jan needs to understand that this nuzlocke is run on physical hardware then

[@Nozo1234]

Action replays exist

[@CrowitzerTheHoloFan]

@@Nozo1234 getting sued by Nintendo also exists

[@ThyBigCheddar]

​@@Nozo1234 Why cheat a challenge run

[@Nozo1234]

@Crowitzer the Howitzer you're joking, right? You can't actually be serious

[@Glory2Snowstar]

This is the hypest dang start to any Summer Vacation I’ve ever had. Nearly FOUR HOURS of the modern Odyssey. Between this and Chuggaa’s LP, B2/W2 are really snagging that spotlight back- it’s wonderful! New Gen 5 plushies too, that Woobat is adorable. Seriously it’s so fluffy.

[@evanleo9746]

The latter part of this video elevates it so much. It showcases an oft overlooked part of an amazing Pokémon game, and allows the viewer to relate to Dan’s experience and memories of the game. It feels very close, like a friend is showing you his favorite parts of the postgame. Love it!

[@ViolentlyPetrus]

this video is so short that it almost makes me forget about the limited 3d graphics in this game, they're so charming

[@Oliebol85]

Saltydkdan reference

[@HazeEmry]

Wrong Dan lol

[@kirishibe]

glad to see both jerma and rt had a viewer ask them to ask their partner to marry them a weird thing to see two youtubers i watch have in common, but i love it

[@billie-ve_in_yourself6464]

Thank you to the editor for increasing the volume when the game played great songs from its soundtrack. It’s really nice to hear some of Pokémon’s best songs in the entire franchise

[@judegk7366]

As a massive fan of Oshawott and considers it my favourite starter Pokemon, Dan growing over time to love Oshawott after hating it for some time makes me so happy!

[@FalcoRL]

I loved the part where he said "It's Oshawotting time!", then Oshawotted all over the place

[@reanimatedf2p509]

rt game's pokemon skills are amazing, never ceases to disapoint.

[@alexandernovatney9159]

From the moment I saw Messiah, my absolute favorite pokemon line, I knew that it would die to a bull*youtube* move or crit at some point. I'm just glad that he even made it in the team. Better to join the team and die, than to have been left in the box an forgotten T^T 7

[@realkingofantarctica]

Nothing in this run was as stressful as seeing the level difference between RT's team for most of the game. Ironically, if he had played with level limits on he would've actually been safer, since it would have forced him to grind up his whole team rather than relying on a few strong ones.

[@lostfan10000]

To this day, one of my greatest regrets is sleeping on Gen 5. But now I've realized some of my most favorite Pokemon are from Unova, Zorua is my most favorite of all. Snivy and Oshawott are two of my most favorite starters. Snivy is real strange for me because in real life I have a bad fear of snakes. Props to Unova.

[@gunnarschlichting9886]

Somehow, reading this comment is what made it finally click for me that Serperior is a "garden" snake. I never realized it before, but that's absolutely what the pun is and why it's just grass and not grass/poison (since garden snakes aren't venomous).

[@MultiZernez]

ending the game with grief dodging an air slash and killing togekiss is iconic

[@flames_fan_328]

Grief being the last survivor again is just too good

[@abaddonarts1129]

The showcasing of postgame content and then the new songs, finished with Cynthia was so awesome to see, especially with how that fight ended. Thank you for doing this RT

[@bubblegum1366]

I've done a Black nuzlocke before and wiped to Clay, but was inspired to try again after finding your Black nuzlocke. I was hyped when I beat Clay with little issue this time, and when I got the 2% Tynamo as my Twist Mountain encounter I knew the run was blessed.

[@iampierce7474]

That proposal was so funny and wholesome

[@MumboJ]

My favourite part of this game is that you are not the protagonist. Average is the protagonist. You are the rival. Average's Purrloin being kidnapped is the driving force behind the story. He is the one with the heroic story arc and the motivation to succeed. He is the one who hunts down the villains and brings them to justice. You are the one who just shows up afterwards and battles him for no reason. Even his appearance looks more like a protagonist than you do.

[@JD12899]

As someone who’s favorite Pokémon is Lucario and loves mareep I understand your pain at the ranch encounter

[@penguinman2233]

RT doing a Nuzlocke of this game while Chuggaaconroy is doing his LP of this is incredible

[@andrewmerchant8747]

I had the same thought

[@ethanwagner]

The unceremonious death of Klink was an all time moment

[@LL-cu9gn]

You'd think Grief wasn't informed the nuzlocke part of the run was over with how hard he was fighting for his life

[@lazarusmekhane439]

Till this day, the sad piano theme of Emotion has been forever memorised by me as the passing of the greatest man we've ever known. After all these years, we still miss you, Ross Bob...
