Pokémon Platinum Hardcore Nuzlockes - A Quick Guide

[@SittinGamer]

I dont comment much, but not gonna lie i absolutely wish this type of Nuzlocke takes off more. I love Silph and FlygonHG runs as much as the next guy, but the formula has gotten a smidge stale over the years and series like this and Emerald which allow for a slow yet thorough and comfy look at the game are a wonderful breath of fresh air! Being able to look at all encounters aside from type specific ones and closely looking at all tools the game gives you like hidden items and "sidequests" just feels like a great way to appreciate these games while still having the stakes of a locke.

[@ImortalZeus13]

FlygonHG is unwatchable imo. The commentary is unlistenable

I don’t watch nuzlockes. This is the first channel I’ve ever watched nuzlockes on. I am so surprised to hear this isn’t the norm. Because I love this way of doing it. One thing I always disliked about nuzlockes were the ways they seem to cancel out the joy and heart of the games but this channel changed my mind on that.

[@BigGartzy]

That final battle had me so emotional 😭. Great video and farewell to our fallen soldiers 🫡

[@raphchelly3413]

First I'll say that this was easily one of the best resources I found for running platinum and for that I thank you greatly. Quick tip for eternal forest and iron island, you can actually make every battle a 1v1 if you walk up to 1 trainer and talk to them. It makes those portions so less scary bc it totally removes the risk of ending in a 2v1

[@darkpaw3734]

I mean this in the best way possible. but youre like a Jr Chuggaaconroy. I love Emiles content but lately his content hasnt fit the algorithm. the way youre so detailed and your clear passion for the content and series you have. with the detailed resaerched and on screen examples. with encounter rates, hidden items. Great job! very well made.

[@darkpaw3734]

Sorry not worded well, english not my best

[@grumpygengar22]

Don't worry about it, I appreciate the kind words ☺️

[@whiteheart7915]

I love Nuzlocke's and I have scoured KZbin for any decent Pokémon content, and the way you structure and edit your videos is far and above the best. I sit at a desk all day and watching your videos has been so relaxing for me throughout my work days. Hope you keep them coming and really look forward to your future Nuzlocke's both the super challenging and the very relaxed.

[@sketch319]

thank you grumpy gengar for making such a slow paced series i dont really watch pokemon content outside of the occasional weedletwineedle vid but id say your passion for these games have really come through much love

[@grumpygengar22]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@elliemagdolna3269]

the road from gen four casual to platinum master, the movie 🍿 🎥

[@robertlupa8273]

I've watched every episode of it and I can confirm it was popcorn-worthy.

[@Dylxan327]

I’ve HC nuzlocked platinum a handful of times, and I’m gonna have the AI presidents do it after I’m done with emerald, but I’m certain there’s plenty of tidbits in this video that I didn’t know about. And it’s gonna be super useful for my future run. Gonna enjoy watching this in the background while I work on stuff for the next few hours. Preciate you grumpy

[@grumpygengar22]

Thanks man! Looking forward to seeing how the presidents tackle the game as well haha

[@zacharylane3166]

Loved watching these over the course of the last few months, can't wait to see your further analysis on Gen IV!

[@BetterTomorrow22]

I really hope your channel blows up and you reach a broader audience. The attention to detail and calming vibe in your videos is immaculate. Truly glad I found this channel.

[@kINg_Of_yOuTuBe__]

The best platinum nuzlocke video i have ever seen Nobody cam make it this good man, you are the G.O.A.T

[@stanleymontys1189]

this is such a wonderful video to watch with whilst i do my first platinum nuzlocke! great tips and very nice to listen to in the bg

[@selenalulamoon1167]

Looker gets better in his later appearances in later games. They gave him a pretty interesting story.

[@fleeper20]

@1:08:03 just a quick note that you can actually talk to them from the side to make them each a single battle which makes them markedly easier

[@tyusjdn]

You're about to blow up... content is too good

[@robertlupa8273]

Quick! Someone bring a Pokemon with Damp! We don't want GrumpyGengar to explode and die!

[@eggsscott]

He’s a ghost type so he’ll be okay.

[@CARNEWB]

Yes, one day he will probably

[@cyrussouth]

5:00 level 24 for Bubblebeam is in DP. Platinum moved it at level 19

I’m about to have to drive a lot so this is fantastic background

[@elcrazychris7816]

You’re the best, your videos have renewed my love for Pokemon

[@professorbrew]

Man if you started steaming on twitch while you run, you could really take off. Love the content bro!

[@SuperBazsle]

Thanks for the tip about Floatzel demolishing Fantina's gym. Used it in my own HN run and used Crunch 4 times and her team was no match!

[@aidan673]

Great video!!!! Have never Nuzlocked a pokemon game before, and I'm gonna give platinum a go, thanks to you!

[@grumpygengar22]

That's awesome! Enjoy it!

[@lacrimosa1024]

cant wait for black n white! (or the things before that)

[@Kurosai.]

Did my own nuzlocke while watching and beat Cynthia with just my Infernape remaining 🙏💯

[@BlkBladeZoro]

Honestly the only pokemon KZbinr I watch I started watching cause I found my old emerald game and started playing again then found your vids and definitely made me want to try out a nuzlocke thanks for great vid man

[@BlkBladeZoro]

Also maybe soul silver run next would be amazing was my favorite game as a kid

[@grumpygengar22]

That's awesome!

[@CartersRemasters]

Make change the title from walkthrough? That might be bottlenecking views a bit. This is super high quality video, and should at least have triple the view count. Maybe name it “retrospective”?

[@grumpygengar22]

I've tried updating it to "guide" instead for now, but I do agree that maybe it needs to be something else. "Retrospective" would definitely get more views, I'm just not sure it's an accurate depiction of the content itself. Really great suggestion though, I need to think about it more

[@Stennett2144]

bro this was so much fan to watch. u earned my sub for sure

[@Stennett2144]

fun

[@grumpygengar22]

Welcome!

[@Vrin001]

yay a quick guide😊 almost four hours later:💀

[@JasonHamstred]

The only way of getting the berries is off wild Pokémon or talking to one of the berry people who give you a daily berry

[@wideout7838]

Not true there are many many areas in the game that are like “gardens” that generally have 3-4 bushes with 2 berries each on them of different kinds and if you want a specific Berry you can plant one you have in these areas and wait a bit and a bush with 2 of the same kind of berry will grow in that place!

[@tysmith211]

You deserve more followers. Maybe throw in a couple top ten videos every once in awhile

[@D.W.M.T.Y.A.W._CheckAbout_]

Well, already with the prediction at 9:27 or so… Don’t sleep on Bidoof rollout simple Strats, they’re UNDENIABLY fantastic my friend. But it also is a wager between.. Would you chance taking a Dark Type before the 3rd gym? You only have 2 available Dark Types in plat for Fantina. Houndour and Umbreon. Absol is too far into the game. Drapion is after Maylene. Sneasel is like Absol… But Bidoof has advantages over Bibarel if you know what movesets are available.
