It switched out because you hit it with a move that a different pokemon was immune to - I’m not sure all of the ways gen 4 switch ai works but if you surf on something and they have a water absorb mon in the back, they can switch to it. Immunities and resistances like this enable the AI switches - some gens the switching-in mon also needs to have a super effective move on the pokemon you have out. Great video! Really clever strats

[@thbontyhunter2424]

I really like how you used every little obscure thing to your advantage in this, i didnt even know you could get choice specs without the battle tower in this game. Btw the text at the beginning felt a bit overwhelming but the whole video is great

[@GGreenHeart]

That text in the beginning honestly hurt my eyes, and I almost didn't watch the rest. But I'm really glad I did! You had me gut-laugh twice before even the 2nd gym. Can't wait to see more content like this.

[@pikminman13]

it didnt hurt my eyes but i did find it annoying and unnecessary.

[@vandanagupta4240]

I thought that was pretty cool

[@coolnecromancer1]

@@pikminman13 The point of the text is that people who mouse over the thumbnail in stead of clicking (which plays the video preview without sound), can get an idea about the gist of the video, which increases the likelihood that they'll click it. It's standard youtuber stuff.

[@pikminman13]

@@coolnecromancer195% of people that watch pokemon videos know what a nuzlocke is. you don't need to explain it. people that don't can spend the 3 seconds looking it up. you can already get the gist of the video from the title alone.

@@coolnecromancer1 But yt usually has automatic subtitles enabled anyways while hovering over a video so you dont need the incoming text. And I agree, it was really irritating. But the vid was great

[@heartofthefluft8541]

19:03 I feel weird and sad every time I see one Nuzlocker running away from the legendaries instead of catching them, and not using them in the challenge if they manage to catch them. But I appreciate the effort. It reminds me of Hernán Cortés and his strategy of "burning their ships" to compromise with his troops to conquer or die in the attempt. 19:28 Noooooo, you monster :'( NOW I'm sad, Totodile is my favorite starter of all time...well, rest easy, soldier... I just finished the video, congratulations on beating the remake of the first generation of Pokémon that I played during my life. It seems pretty risky to sacrifice a lot of Pokémon in the final battle but at least I'm glad you made it.

[@Aviivix]

"I pick Slugma because I think a ligma joke *could* be funny at some point..." I love how this is read totally seriously as if it were a strategic move

Dude love this style of video from you. The knowledgeable commentary over an in-game run is great. Would love to see more videos like this!!

[@TehJoeBro]

I love Freezai’s commentary so much. The fact that he’s very knowledgeable sets this apart from many other commentated nuzlockes.

[@SpectreAce]

This may be the bridging link between casual and competitive Pokémon Players and I really appreciate that. Great vid Freezai!

[@ShinyGBZ]

I was not expecting a huge upload like this! Love the content! Hope we see a few more of these in the future!

[@pyrothemusical]

Ooh, this is an interesting nuzlocke challenge. I can only imagine how difficult this challenge is with single stage pokemon. As others may have mentioned, the rapid text on screen for each word you said is a bit painful to look at. In particular, I have Epilepsy, so I had to quickly look away from the screen. As such, may I ask if you could reconsider perhaps toning down the editing at the beginning of these videos if you wish to make more of these challenge videos? Keep on with the great work!

[@m24213]

Fear Rattata, Swords dance gligar, dude they didnt realize they were coming in for a Slaughter. For real though, this is the most efficient and incredibly well thought out Nuzlocke I have ever seen. Every single battle looks to be strategized, you didnt wing anything. I love that.

[@Zelcra]

I appreciate how you walk through and explain your decisions and choices in every match :)

[@ArxGaming67]

This man really said "HeartGold" and acted like we wouldn't want to see Kanto too? This Little Cup Nuzlocke is really cool

[@MissFortuneDaBes]

Yo buddy I saw you changed title and thumbnail. Guess you were worried because the video initially underperformed. But don't worry, it is NOT the title or thumbnail. Actually, the first ones were better than the current one IMO. It is just that this kind of content is much different than the type of content that got you most of your subscribers. This new format will naturally need some time before it can get traction. You are fine, don't worry:)

[@billybobbobson3797]

Yo I love your videos to man.

I really like the new editing style, and the nuzlocke, though the text at the beginning was a little jarring, so a little less movement would be nice

Loved the video! You have a very dry sense of humor :D Just as a friendly heads up, I found the music in your intro to be a bit too loud and it drowned out your voice. After that it was fine tho! (Also if you run away from Ho-Oh and then chat to the Kimono Girls, they will be...unhappy with you, to say the least)

[@silfaro]

Liked the video! Although some of the text at the start was illegible one word at a time and had a very distracting transition. Okay when it was small, but awkward to read when it was large. You may also want to consider dot points for rules (getting a lot of info across quickly - like that chart you use for tier explanations).

[@DoctorSpacebar]

Oh dear Lord almighty, an LC Nuzlocke? You crazy bastard. EDIT: Wow, you get *nice* items from Mom in this game! Choice items are a game changer in any LC run, but especially pre Gen 5 where Sturdy cheese and Eviolite don't exist.

[@Eevee3171]

You take that back, Meganium is amazing (in game). Give it a defensive or So defensive nature; teach it Synthesis, Poison Powder/Toxic, Reflect, and Magical Leaf. Beat Whitney no problem and served as a Tank to heal the rest of my team during some rough battles. Meganium is amazing.

[@spegasparce1389]

Tank to heal team is only good if you play with potions. That being said Meganium can be useful as a screens setter or even a swords dance sweeper with recovery in synthesis. The AI can’t use it at all though, making it the easiest to deal with

[@AVISFM]

The poliwrath probably switched in because ai saw that you used a water type move the previous turn, and then saw that there was a pokemon in the back that had an immunity ability for water, that being poliwrath's water absorb. It's an interesting ai mechanic that is present in every pokemon game since at least gen 3, and I even designed a portion of a boss fight around it in the rom hack I'm making.

[@bohrierpokemonvideos392]

[@Shenaldrac]

Hardcore Nuzlockes are more popular than regular Nuzlockes? Or playing fangames that have increased difficulty? It's possible I suppose, but you can't go around making claims like that without proof! I'm very excited for your next video to be a video essay explaining your master's thesison the popularity of various pokemon challenges :V

[@MsLoveandjustice]

I can’t believe people still don’t realize that Johto gym trainers featured that old pokemon can learn new moves- mud slap, fury cutter, shadow ball, dynamic punch… I got it right away when I was a kid.

[@ethanbrenna9798]

It's so weird seeing people say that beating the Johto portion of Gen 2 means you beat the game. I get that there's a credits roll afterward, but I know that nobody I knew back in the gen 2 days ever thought it was the end of the game; it was always beating Red.

[@silvershine2261]

Its just a huge slug unfortunatly. Kanto Gym leaders are too low of a level to be a threat except blue. And then you have to grind for an eternity to get up to reds level. Grinding in HG SS was really slow because the highest level wild pokemon were mid fourties. You can run the elite four over and over, but even that takes ages for a full team. Also hard to pul off in a Nuzlocke

[@kritiandsiddharthaswedding]

If I wasn't subscribed already I'd do it right now, aside from the competitive format, I also really enjoy this kind of nuzlocke content

[@Pao-vo8mf]

"meganium does nothing, worst starter ever" learns reflect, light screen, synthesis, body slam for paralysis, earthquake for coverage no "click and win" doesn't mean bad. if anything, it feels great using a pokémon that requires unobvious stats. that aside, something I've always thought about these challenges is that level cap should be the mean level of the leader's pokémon, deducted by 1 per extra pokémon (e.g. if the leader's mean level is 30 and they use 3 pokémon, you can have 2x 31, 4x 29, 6x 27), not the level of their ace. I always feel strange watching a whole team of pokémon at such high level in a challenge
