Can Agatha Beat a Hardcore Nuzlocke of Pokémon Fire Red?

[@magnuspkmn]

Dang I'm sure altering FireRed to play as Agatha must've taken some time! It looks amazing and really boosts the quality of the gameplay! Also adding Misdreavus to the encounter pool at Lavender Tower was a nice touch! Amazing video as always!

[@dr.daphnelewis7315]

Big fan

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I mean, I've seen your videos do the same thing too, so I'm sure you know what its like. I did have to animate the sprite, so that was a bit different. But just like your Blue video, I had some palette issues lol.

[@nicolasromani3523]

Yo i loved your Blue team nuzlocke. Good stuff

[@zallly]

Love the inside joke of Crobat being Pandemic. And if it wasn't intentional... still hilarious.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

It was totally intentional. The OG script had more Covid jokes, but I didn’t want to lay it on to heavy

[@michaelclark2458]

[@NuzlockeJoe]

@@michaelclark2458 yeah, I thought calling a bat pandemic was close enough

Great video! Really loved it 🎉❤

[@TheFlash3553]

I love the little story you built here and jokes. Reason why I subbed. Keep the vids coming!

[@cristiandeleon6869]

Her Crobat and Gengar were the only challenges honestly. Gengar was ahead of it’s time in those days

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I'd argue that gengar really took off in Gen 4, once shadow ball was a legit special attacking move. Not benefeiting from good STAB moves prior to that kinda hurt gengars appeal IMO. Course he was still plenty versatile.

[@Canadian_Princess]

I love seeing modded nuzlockes. Not like just rom hacks, but just like little tweaks like this video that let you play around with cool ideas.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Well thanks! I’ve done a few of them on this channel, mostly that just involve changing some sprites around and tweaking Pokemon if need be

[@greyvanity]

i really love the nicknames here i don't really like the trend of "goofy" names lot of poketubers do nowadays so these ones were really cool! i hope you do them again

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah they were much more serious here, weren’t they?

[@justinrumpf2177]

Arbok is a poison type with a dual flying type of levitate ability and since this is before fairy type poison types aren’t great unless they are immune to ground it’s only natural he would be the least valuable Pokémon but at least he had dig so he was able to do something

[@12cmercado]

Thanks!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thank you so much!

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Awesome video Always felt Agatha should've had a Nidoqueen just to playoff her rivalry with Oak who has the Nidorino that battles Gengar in the opening If hadn't done Alola Ghost run already I'd have suggested making that the Agatha Alola playthrough to since has Alolan Marowak in Let's Go For Lance, should definately have him use an Arbok since like Charizard and Gyarados belongs in the Dragon Egg Group so can have a full team in FRLG with Charizard, Gyarados, Arbok, Seadra/Kingdra, Dragonite and Aerodactyl Or if do Let's Go then can even get the Alolan Eggxecutor trade for a seventh For Bruno, will you be making Hitmontop and/or Steelix available without national dex? Also would be cool if did Koga for Kanto and/or Johto games for his rise to Elite Four since lots of good poison types

[@Queefersutherland97]

YO let’s go you chose the best one to do

[@kennyistired]

A old lady fighting death as a enemy is wild lmaooooo.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thanks, I thought it was funny

[@azuroslazuli6948]

Joe: I've always liked Haunter more than Gengar Me too! His design is way cooler. Why does he have to be so weak! DX

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I mean, he’s not weak per se. Just not as good as gengar lol

[@riley7036]

I love the sprites!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Thanks! You can be honest though: that battle back sprite was horrible. I admit it

[@loganoxendine9474]

I like to make Ghost Special, and Dark Physical with gen 2-3 romhacks like Crystal Legacy

[@enricoprosseda1403]

Predicting Agatha all along 1 year before

[@vanhemdall9359]

Great run

[@justrage1689]

Suggestions : try very very hard games like embrald kaizo with any pokemon

[@justrage1689]

or garbage green

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Not gonna lie, I am really not looking forward to those tough ones. I know I will though

[@12cmercado]

That sprite walking around was spooky

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Well, Agatha is old and scary looking

[@edra2005]

Remember when Agatha Lance and Lorelei committed terrorism in Kanto in the pokemon manga

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I’ve never read the mama, so I had no idea. Just to be clear, this run is NOT condoning terrorism. Not a fan

[@mindlessmeat4055]

I think agatha needs to take death to new regions so they find respect for death.

[@PhibyMcBeth87]

Great run .sadly the two poison pokemon hasnt poison attacks 😢 there are so great in later gens and gengar too. Ok in fr the attacks are much better then in gen 1 😊

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah poison is certainly a type that get a much better move pool in future gens. Bug too

[@jormungardwe]

Full poison team, that is not agatha that is koga

[@Gman011]

How were you able to alter the game Joe?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

That’s nuzlocke joe to you! So there are gen 3 decomp files you can download from GitHub and alter to do basically whatever you want. There’s a bit of a learning curve to get started, but if you follow this tutorial to get started, it helps a lot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2GrkGVogJ6Zb7M

[@domenicavallone28]

Never understood how ghost was physical prior to gen 4 - and vice versa for dragon & dark

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Same! I mean in gen 1 the only real attacking ghost move, besides night shade, was lick, so maybe they figured it should be physical. But yeah, it makes gengar not as good as he should be till gen 4.

[@sunshower6560]

Super fun to watch. Needlessly lost Weezing though. Gengar's fall was unfortunate. Would have rather seen Explosion used on Charizard.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I agree he didn’t need to die, but I never expected him to get past Lorelei tbh, so in my mind he was kinda already dead.

[@NoName-rd6yr]

Little Sebastian 😂😂😂

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yep. He's like 5,000 candles in the wind

Gengar! Love it

[@MarkofWisdom]

'agatha could run team rocket better than giovanni'-didn't she (and I think several other elite 4 members) actually run team rocket in one of the pokemon manga? Might have been pokemon adventures. I think there were other gym leaders in team rocket as well rather than just giovanni kind of a shame you blew up the weezing for no real reason. Would have been nicer if you'd have been able to beat the run deathless Doing runs of Kanto as the elite 4-so Lorelei, Agatha, Lance, Rival, and that random Hiker that wandered in?

[@nightspawnson-of-luna4936]

Iirc it was just Sabrina koga and Surge who were In team rocket, The Elite four decided to be some sort of Proto-Team Plasma that wanted to liberate pokemon

[@thoriqrizqullah5072]

how do i evolve my golbat into crobat?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

The normal way, just with friendship. If your using this Rom, you should have started with the national dex.

[@thoriqrizqullah5072]

@@NuzlockeJoe i've searched a lot about this, it said that you need some item named "soothing bell" beside the friendship thing, is it true?

[@thoriqrizqullah5072]

@@NuzlockeJoe anyway great video joe, this is really fun to watch, can't wait for another elite four member!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

@@thoriqrizqullah5072 nope! The soothing bell makes a Pokémon like you faster, but to evolve golbat to crobat just needs to like you. You can raise friendship by leveling up, walking a ton, stuff like that.

[@meerkatjeans8892]

Normally in Fire Red you can't evolve Golbat until post game and you'll need high friendship (soothe bell makes friendship happen faster but not require, also not sure if that item exists in this game) but he hacked this rom to make golbat evolve in the main game by giving him the national dex from the start

[@nickperry9051]

Great video, kinda morbid but great video nonetheless

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Good thing I didn't lean more into the pandemic jokes then. I had a few I cut because I didn't want to lay anything on too thick

[@laxusstrauss5945]

Morowak would have been a perfect 6th pokemon even tho she has an alolan one

Yeah probably, but that’s ok.

[@grandadmiralbreloom1218]

Too bad there isn't an early game cloister that only Gastly was able to fight😜. that would be a happy Mother's Day.

Wells that’s dirty. There were no cloisters but Brock does happen to have an onix… but my videos are family friendly

Yeah, but I was sure he was going to die in the Lorelei fight, so he survived pretty well all things considered
