I love the editing on this vid. It's condensed, fast paced, and I love it!

[@RandolphPokemon]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@sindridagsson4391]

Good editing, and perfect length of the video man! Once they Get too long i tend to kinda fall off, but the pacing in this was perfect mate! Keep it up big man!

[@RandolphPokemon]

Much appreciated!

[@Jonzx]

I'm here for this. So much nostalgia with this generation. Deserves a remake, it's not even a meme I really want an open world gen 4 remake. Any way best of luck to you in this nuzlocke!

[@WeebHentai_]

Is good they planning to make a remake for the switch

[@cheerios9597]

They shouldn’t do open world, they should keep the same formula as all the other Pokemon games because it works and always has

[@nikodemassadauskas1301]

I'm so hype for this series man. I've been watching your videos for a while now, and now that you're doing a nuzlocke, it's gonna be so sick! Keep up the work man.

[@johnbyrne8128]

That was sick and well edited. One suggestion would be to do a little summary each time you get something of its nature /ability but the pacing here was top notch!

[@Sackinima]

Yay, I’ve been looking forward to this. You’ve got me back into Pokémon cards too man. I’m getting my mates to dig out their old binders and everything because of your recent vids! Haha

[@RandolphPokemon]

Randolph I don’t know how to fit it but I would recommend having 6 boxes with the Pokemon you currently have visible on the screen at all times like most playthroughs have, especially since you will be switching in and out Pokemon a lot it will be helpful to have it there :£

[@Saif-tj1ln]

love how randy is expanding from rapping into others genres like gaming. hope to see more vids 👀 👀

[@uiztoast4969]

Best KZbinr for me that does pokemon love it all just binged watched your sword series. Watch every video you do love it man. Keeps me in good frame of mind aswell lol. Much love my bro ☺

[@WTFmental]

Watched it live still here to watch the highlights ahah! Really good quality on the stream and the VOD nice editing and length.

[@andreapisarev116]

If a Pokemon dies leave it on a box of the pc called “deaths”, “F” or smth like that. Also I would recommend you to put an accountant of death pokemons. It would be funnier if you don’t buy potions and you just use the ones you find on the adventure, but with the option of using them during battle.

[@freeze_electric]

Been waiting for this bro! Can’t wait to see you do a randomizer next, black 2/white 2 would be sick. Let’s go man!

My biggest childhood gen, can't wait for you to play through this series!

[@aunabedi6043]

Turtwigs evolution is rly cool in my opinion so u might end up liking it

[@memeyo42]

Also, Pokemon Diamond was my very first pokemon game. My brother used to have red and all those old ones, but I never got a game of my own until I got a Nintendo Ds light, and my very first game I bought to it, was Pokemon Diamond. So this is my nostalgia. It brings me back to when I was a kid used to play this game, such an amazing time~

[@VancouverGuardians]

Oh - I cannot wait until the day he does a Randomizer!

[@RandolphPokemon]

One day :) baby steps

Yh same

looking forward to this series! Once you get comfortable with nuzlockes you should do a randomised nuzlocke, that would be skitz

Don't usually watch livestreams but Lockdown be doing a madness. You should stick your stream in the description so people can find it easier.

Great editing I love all your vids but this one sticks out to me. Insane video u should do more of these

[@TrueZero2]

As a Nuzlocker, I have a big question, and a handful of tips for you to use. Question: How are you handling team wipes? I've seen it handled two ways. First, whiting out in general means game over. The other, if you white out, you build a new team from the PC and continue on. If you can't do that, then it means game over. Tips: 1) Do not underestimate the usefulness of Bibarel. Cut, Strength, Surf, Rock Climb, Rock Smash and Waterfall. With six out of the eight HM's available to it, Bibarel is the swiss army knife of Sinnoh travel. 2) Never do Route 202 first. Do Lake Verity and Route 201 first, as those routes contain only Bidoof and Starly. The only other available Pokemon on Route 202 is Shinx, so doing the other two areas beforehand guarantees a shot at catching a Shinx. 3) Always try to keep Pokemon as evenly leveled as you can, especially in the early game. Trust me, it can be a lifesaver. 4) For the Poketch, the three most useful apps are the Pokemon List, Friendship Checker and Dowsing Machine. The first comes with the item, the second can be gotten in Eterna City, and the last is given to you by Dawn. 5) Abuse the VS Seeker. Sinnoh can be one of the hardest regions to Nuzlocke. Abusing the VS Seeker lets you find a good rematch spot, perfect for training and money grinding. My personal favourite is on Route 214, right hand side, where there's a collector and a PI close to each other. Levels are low enough to not present a threat, but you can still get some decent EXP out of it all. 6) Fossils are based on your trainer number in Platinum. Since the last digit is odd, you can get Skull Fossils in the underground, meaning you can have a Cranidos of your very own! Revives at 20, evolves at 30 and is rocking one of the highest base attacks in the game. Just be aware that its defenses are paper thin.

[@euanh3045]

Just to let you know Randolph we're loving the content and appreciate the effort you and Laura have put in to provide us with 25 days straight of videos, as well as running the PokeRand store. I have a question and would appreciate advice from anyone as I was thinking about collecting the Darkness Ablaze set and buying a booster box when they come back in stock. However, I have just seen that Champions Path will be coming out soon and was wondering if I should wait and collect that set, even though I haven't pre-ordered any of the elite trainer boxes.

[@RandolphPokemon]

Our Champions Path ETBs are completely sold out! I'd recommend Darkness Ablaze for sure. But Champions Path is a smaller set, so may be easier to complete.

[@pranavssh]

Facts👏🏾

[@euanh3045]

Randolph Pokemon thanks, does makes sense

[@jonathoncurrency8185]

Good luck Randolph! I recently did another Nuzlocke of Platinum and failed at the 4th gym, so I hope you make it farther than I did!

[@youngsterjoey7596]

Mate, that is what I've been waiting for a long time!! May I suggest a couple of rules, in case the nuzlocke gets too easy: -your pokemon's level should never be higher than the level of each gym leader's ace, if it does you deposit it on the pc That's all from me, keep up the amazing work Randolph❤️❤️

[@hypnoticpaw]

Its him

[@freyaamethyst5190]

i love randolphs commentary

[@HixNBA1523]

I'd really reccommend using the dupes clause because while not doing it makes it potentially harder it also becomes less interesting from a viewer perspective. Like imagine if you have a Bibarel that you caught on the 1st route and then it dies, with dupes clause you then have to take time and think about what you want to add to your team whereas without it you could just be like "I'll just go grab another Bidoof from the box". It also gives us a sense of excitement because we have the anticipation of "what pokemon will he get next?" but if it's just the same as another route it's a bit underwhelming

[@RandolphPokemon]

Just seems like a bit of a cop out to the challenge though... Feel like I could just do a normal playthrough in that case

[@HixNBA1523]

@@RandolphPokemon Sure, I get what you're saying, I just feel that based on having watched many other nuzlocke's in the past that have used it that it doesn't detract from the challenge of it. Maybe putting a poll on twitter/youtube/at the start of next stream to maybe see what people think could be helpful but either way keep up the grind man
