Nuzlocking the BEST JOHTO ROM Hack? | Pokémon GS Chronicles

[@tyler6929]

I wish this game got finished and not abandoned. This hack deserved to go to kanto and be completed

[@NuzlockeJoe]

I wouldn’t say it was abandoned.They are still updating it, just not with kanto I suppose

[@blue_wolfproductions12]

Why no Kanto?!

[@tyler6929]

@@blue_wolfproductions12 don’t ask me. I’m not the creator of the rom hack

[@ZerohFault]

big news, new version is being released this month (april 2024)

[@Slickcactus]

30:40 I assume you are not aware of this but each gym leader actually does has ‘proper’ teams of high levelled pokemon. They just use pokemon of a lower level to give trainers a chance to earn their gym badges accordingly. Proof of this is how there are gym leader rematches. In rematch battles they use their proper team.

[@magnuspkmn]

I really enjoyed this playthrough!! We need to do more nuzlockes of ROM Hacks, my only hurdle is that I wish the documentation was better

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah same. This was was decent in all honestly, until I went to the most recent update, then things took a turn for the worst.

[@solgaleo3533]

Fun fact: Aile’s design is just beta Jasmine from Spaceworld 97

[@NuzlockeJoe]

That is a fun fact. And thanks to you, I just went down a rabbit hole looking at all the unused pokemon sprites from spaceworld 97. Its funny that out of the three starters, chikorita is the only one that didnt change. And there a fair number of type effectiveness changes too that I wasn't aware of.

[@solgaleo3533]

@@NuzlockeJoe oh, I know a ton about the beta LMAO. There’s a TON more sprites aside from that within the 98 sprite archive and the 99 demo. It’s really interesting. And yeah, although people assumed it did change a little because of the recreation drawn by someone who played the demo, which, as with the others, was inaccurate.

[@brandonlogan3089]

Fire mouse is actually a fire porcupine and then evolves into what appears to be a fire badger or a fire weasel but could still very well be a mutant elongated fire porcupine.

[@mcclintick]

it's a Echidna very clearly not a porcupine. The 4 species of Echidna's and the platypus are the only living monotremes (egg-laying mammals). Young Echidna' are called puggles. Fire Puggle is what i call it

[@brandonlogan3089]

[@harbour08]

Just saw the fight against Mega Feraligatr, that's why I was looking when you chose your starter like if only you knew 😂 try using it if you do another run, it's OP

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I did not look up the mega forms before starting the run. I mean, I knew the Johto starters had one, but I wanted to be surprised. Dragon type feralligator is certainly legit

[@Gameboy_Graci]

Well now I’m curious about Meganium!

[@ThePoolo12]

I played this game so amazed and exited and i was so sad when i got to the end and there is no Kanto 😭😭

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I get that. But the Johto part was still legit

Loved Pokemon Silver as a kid as well! This Rom Hack of the Johto region looks so sick! Thanks for the awesome video! Def going to try this game next 🙌🏼

[@Gameboy_Graci]

Holy cow this run lol!!! I’m glad you were able to finish it. Congrats on the championship. I was hoping they would have new E4 as well but oh well 1/4 ain’t bad I guess.

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah that was the most intense run I’ve had for a while!

[@ThatGuyDean456]

I really enjoy these rom hack vanilla like Nuzlockes keep up the good work ❤

[@Firescizor]

I think you did pretty fine honestly. GS Chronicles is infamous for being one of the most bullshit nuzlocke games, mostly because it forces upon you some unfair fights against what frankly feels like Pokémon with the wrong speed stats. It pained me a little seeing things like freaking Mega Aerodactyl being outsped by non-scarf Mismagius... but oh well. Nonetheless, great video!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I can see that. Overall I still enjoyed it for sure, just some of the stats didn't make a ton of sense

[@OfficialKrafty]

damn worth the wait, good job on nuzlocking it!

[@SethValentine100]

Ariados is good for WAAAY more than Sticky Web. Out of all the stat changes different mons got, Ariados got the biggest boost imo, which makes me happy because its my favorite bug type.

[@valmanway1844]

Gyro ball has to be the biggest bait move cause you REALLY think its gonna do damage, then reality sets in...one must imagine gyro doing damage

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah, I don't know why I tried it more than once to be honest, it just always seems to suck

[@valmanway1844]

@@NuzlockeJoe yes sadly it's just not good enough compared to other steel type damage moves

[@MrRichieRides]

Also this is why I make save states (often) especially with hacks that can soft lock for no reason 😂 haha

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah in the future I likely will use save states for rom hacks. It's a habit I've gotten out of since starting nuzlockes because I obviously can't use them during battles

[@pattyg1184]

Great video man!!! Do you mind if i share this on his podcast chat next time I listen to it?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Go right ahead!

[@floriandre3129]

nice video! But it would be nice if the team one the right side of the screen would match the actual team the whole time

[@KevHenry-k9n]

I really loved this video!! I have a video idea that I haven't seen on KZbin and I think you're the perfect person to do this, Can you Beat Pokemon Yellow With Red's Heart Gold and Soul Silver Team?

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Oh yeah, that is a good one! And it shouldn’t be too hard to swap around the sprites to play as red either.

[@Dwcdash]

If you’re planning on a play through of this game I would recommend Ledian. It’s so powerful In this rom. Power up punch, drain punch, Stardust punch and baton pass It’s soooo much fun

[@Oliebol85]

13:25 apparently its part fairy becaise that was super effective

[@thaelrynvecna2953]

Will admit, this was interesting, though I have to give you props for doing Hardcore Nuzlockes on games you've never played before. That *had* to have been a pain. I know some of those losses sure were! Props for finishing, even if it wasn't the way you intended!

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah certainly not the way I intended, but after a few elite 4 tries I got there.

[@theReallygoodlawyer]

You can relearn the moves in poke centre

[@NuzlockeJoe]

Yeah I eventually found that out but it would have been nice earlier

[@MrRichieRides]

For me personally even tho Mudkip has been my favorite starter literally since ruby version came out and I first laid eyes on that cute little guy I… wait I had a point… oh ya in my opinion and experience gen 3 AAAAND Gen 4 are the best for over all gen 3 just 3 destroyers and great designs and I mean infernapeciacone of the greatest designed starters of all time and the torterra!??? Grass ground!!?? What!!?? And Empoleon even tho it’s my least fave stil amazing typing!!! The were spitting for two full generations with 3 and 4! And some of the other Pokémon in those gens are also some of the best to this day FlyGon Garchomp spiritomb salamance they really killed it with those two gens!! Anyway love the channel just subbed I love it already you just have a way with your words 😂❤

[@Niall_Sene]

I remember I played this rom hack a while ago but I never got around to finishing it. I bad for you though, you lost so many mons, what a crazy run!

Yeah, I barely finished it myself lol. That ending was rough

Guys tailo, with burn is just a regular bird, burn cuts physical damage so u wanted it poisoned

they probably gave luxray a psychic type because of his abilty to see through the walls. also, his name has lux in it, which means light, i dont know if a dark typing is appropiate for it

Using a guide ruins the fun a bit. But at the same time this was an abandoned romhack with some rough difficulty spikes. So it's understandable.
