Congratulations on the win and also on taking your starter all the way! That's great! And I think you're one of, if not the first, to finish a BDSP monotype run with an Empoleon making it past Cynthia. Good job! You're awesome!

Friendship works and increases by just doing battles, keeping it alive, etc. Just playing the game well increases friendship.

The way you commentate your nuzlockes is very entertaining and definitely keeps me coming back for more. Your naming themes are great. Can totally relate to the baby brain moments. Look forward to the next adventure

[@DarkDuskGaming]

Hey Vivid I just wanted to let you know based on the part of your video with the gastrodon in the friendship mechanic, the friendship mechanic is now combined with happiness, so it goes up just by walking around with your Pokemon in your party. The same way you would raise any Pokemon's happiness normally so leveling them up walking with them healing them etc or the same way it would decrease by giving them like herbs and bitter medicine and stuff like that is all connected

[@invividcolor]

That’s wild. I had no clue it worked that way. I wish we could just turn it off

[@DarkDuskGaming]

@@invividcolor so do i...so do i, or they kept it like in gen 6 where you had amie so you could chose to increase it

[@coolwizard22]

@@DarkDuskGaming According to Bulbapedia, they've changed how friendship works in gen 8. Basically the normal methods can only raise friendship up to 179. Below 180, it isn't enough to receive the "in battle bonuses". It doesn't list the BDSP mechanics that push it beyond 179. The SwSh ones are the camp and friendship raising berries so I imagine it's the same case, with following pokemon replacing the pokemon camp. So I guess Vivid might have used some EV berries and that pushed the mons above 180 friendship.

[@TheSamBogan]

Despite the similar typing and game choice (with the abundance of KZbinrs doing the same exact run) I agree with you in that this one is unique enough to warrant a watch. Whether it is your style of narration (which I have found to be pleasant, relateable/personable,, and well paced) or the certain luck you had with your encounters (as well as the nice naming theme), or something else entirely, all made for an enjoyable watch and something I do not regret doing. Its admirable in how you did all of this as a new father and still had it come out this good. Much praise and good wishes to you and your family in these festive times. I hope the holidays go well for you and your family, I hope you give yourself enough time for the next video (I think I can speak for many in how a little wait is nothing compared to the quality of the content and your health both mentally and physically), and I am looking forward to the next run, no matter what it is!

[@invividcolor]

Okay, so this comment actually gave me the biggest smile and one happy tear. Thank you so much for the kind words and well wishes! I hope your holiday season is also incredible! I have another video in the works, but it’s not BDSP. Hopefully I can get it up a little sooner. Thanks again, comments like this really go a long way ♥️

[@TheSamBogan]

Quite possibly the greatest clip show I've ever seen. 11/10, you should be working for Pixar with these animation skills For real though, love these hardcore nuzlockes, glad you're able to get back to work, and I hope your whole family is healthy and happy right now! Oh right, for the QOTD: I guess my favorite drink would depend on the season. For winter, can't be a hot spiced apple cider. For summer, probably a mango lassi. But honestly it's hard to pick, so that answer might be completely different tomorrow! The real answer is, keep hydrating people, there are so many delicious drinks out there

Loved the "Time to float" joke. An ecellent 2 in 1 reference 😂. I'll be sure to catch all your vids. I think you had your daughter a month or so before I had my son, so we're in the same boat. I'm doing an XY two type only run as we speak. (Fire and Normal types) It's going well, and we're heading to victory road now.

[@choklat4606]

Eyy I also love floatzel because in my (first) platinum save file, floatzel was the first pokemon I ever reached to level 100 and I’ve loved it ever since! Great video and hope the daughters doing good Also yes I would love to see you use some starters so definitely use the national dex

[@jodiehoward3031]

Loved the video as always you have a nice voice to do them with, also my favourite drink is probably peach ice tea especially in the summer heat.

[@jakob5273]

In Fell love with your videos in the last month

[@valentinewhite9298]

hey just an fyi if you haven't figured it out in the year since this has been out: just battling with your pokemon raises their friendship. so, in a nuzlocke, where you're using ALL your pokemon, they all gain a lot of friendship, and that results in the friendship crits and dodges

[@twdgs4]

[@rc4780]

Such a good run. Also, you don’t ever need to justify why you do runs. I’m doing a mono-Ground run just because Bertha’s such an embarrassment to Ground Types. Also, plain black tea at about 80’C with the bag removed after around 3 seconds is where it’s at.

[@shardonayM]

I love peppermint tea, especially if im sick or have a headache

[@LittlemisstoxicTfc]

The friendship stuff actually saved my butt when i beat the elite four

[@taiwanisacountry]

Personally I find it really nice that the elite 4 is absolutely brutal compared to any other Pokémon game. :-D I actually lost, because I did not plan for any of her mons, and my team was stacked with good mons just not really good against her. It's really annoying since I have never used X-items before this, but I did not have time to plan, since I had exams to take care of. And I was 5 levels under level, that did not help. I will do a Ice run once I am done with these exams, that will be June

[@ItsFireTiger]

If you can successfully get evolved to Seaking, a Lumineon, and a Milotic -- Then you got a unique water run so far there

[@LucyRoseLuna]

[@noix666dezephir]

National Pokedex content 100% yes sir. Almost nobody does it and sometimes I wish some KZbinrs would do the post game as it’s still really cool. Like for example when people play B/W or B2/W2 the rematch with the elite 4 is really interesting and challenges yet people just stop after they fought it the first time. So yes yes yes :)

[@cthethird9594]

Normally it isn’t but since the new games have the exp share that you can’t turn off it can be fairly rough

[@invividcolor]

You are correct, haha. Had to box my entire party twice to keep them from over leveling

I don't know what my favorite drink is per say, but I know the worst bottled water brand is Dasani. That stuff just tastes gross every time I drink it, and yes different bottled waters have different tastes. Dasani is the worst of bottled water that I've had. Dasani enjoyers dni.

[@ILIKEOTTERS]

I was playing Pokemon sheild and my gmax Eevee friendship dodged 3 attacks, then got 2 friendship crite, and was brought to one health with an attack. It was my last pokemon and I was out of potions, so I was doomed. It survived 10 hits, surviving the hits, dodging some. It was devastating for Leon, and personally I feel like this smechanic would be good if it needed to be both nurtured and had to have higher standards. You should only get friendship stuff on pokemon you always use, not just the random pokemon you grabbed to train and evolve for the Pokedex. The friendship Mechanic definitely needs a rework, but mostly in how you get it up and keep it up imagine for each battle or day you don't raise your Pokemons friendship, they lose some friendship. Maybe you'd even get your pokemon so bad they'd refuse to listen to you no matter what, then you would be forced to not just use 1 pokemon.

[@tedpowles7819]

The friendship mechanic screwed me over against Cynthia. 5 of her 6 pokemon were fairly easy to knock out, but the Milotic was too tanky. My only pokemon that had the offensive presence to barely handle it was Ursaring. My Ursaring was guts with facade, and got burned from a Milotic scald. I am one hit away from winning the match, but Ursaring loves me and heals the burn. Not once, not twice, but THREE times in the match! I only won because it was her last pokemon, and I got crunch defense drops. Love hurts. P.S. Teddiursa is the best pokemon, so maybe I shouldn't have evolved it......

[@tedpowles7819]

The rest of my team for reference. Luxray whose best move is spark as a physical attackers Torterra who is one shot by ice beam Machamp with no guard who got burned by scald Houndoom would be one shot by scald Alakazam was k.o.'d by another mon, can't recall which.

There's 1 ghost not wild on Diamond and it's Misdreavus, she's wild in the forest with Cheryl at night and it's in the underground in case you miss it in the forest. For a dusk stone on both versions I read the earliest to get 1 is going underground at the beach and go to the big room. There should be 1 on the ground in there, the comment I read said that it's as early as right after Gardenia. I haven't tested it, but I was really happy to find that out cause my Misdreavus was lv 40 and I was mining like crazy trying to find a dusk stone lol
