Fans: he can't top the nuzlocke from before Meatball:(crashes through window) SHINY

[@SadayOJ]

Just a heads up in case it ever matters, but there is a bug in gen 2 that causes the dragon fang to do nothing. Due to an error the dragon scale has the fang's held effect.

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

I remember hearing about this. Idk why I forgot lol

[@AnnieC.1993]

Bite actually has a 30% flinch chance from gen 2 onwards, it's only 10% in gen 1, probably to make it more different from stomp. Still does today.

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

Still that's like hitting 3 Fissures in a row lmao

[@AnnieC.1993]

@@ChaoticMeatballTV Fissure has no place in a nuzlocke but it is really fucking funny. You could probably get away with it in let's go.

[@noahqh]

Look Ma, I'm on TV! Apologies for the mildly crappy mic quality! If I continue doing KZbin appearances like this I'll invest in some better audio lol

[@Skios]

For what it's worth, your voice sounded fine to me. A little echo-y, but certainly no quality issues that made it unlistenable to me.

[@Tayman-si2ku]

Lets freaking go noah!

[@JamesBondBurgered]

God I’m having flashing backs to the stupid hoppips

[@hhjan594]

If I remember correctly, Gen2 trainers only use Full restores on their ace pokemon. This is why Red doesn't use it on other Pokemon because his Ace is Pikachu, and nly Pikachu gets the healing items.

[@Velgre666]

It's not really the Ace pokemon - they only use it on the highest level pokemon they have.

[@forgiveman]

I was about to write that. Thanks for confirming it.

[@EoghanTheGoat]

Absolutely love the alpharad reference with baabu

[@mutevampire]

You don't even need to justify repel spam by mentioning money. Technically you can encounter an infinite number of pokemon on a single basic repel by turning back and forth in a corner, because the act of changing direction can generate an encounter, but changing direction does mot consume a repel step. Heck, if you're really precise about your inputs, you don't even need the corner. That is just the easiest way to guarantee against mis-steps. Also fantastic tech to use in safari zone hunts, for the same encounters without steps reason.

[@variumi]

You can also just save before using the repels and reload if you don’t get the shiny

[@CJB9128]

One of the weird things in early Gen Pokémon is that trainer AI will only use healing items on their highest level or “ace” Pokémon. It works on most gym trainers, but really screws Red in the Gen 2 games because he will only ever use a full restore on his Pikachu.

[@jordanwheeler9866]

Hey Chaotic, I don't comment on stuff often, but after watching the initial pokewalker/weight lost aimed video I figured you had it sorted, public or private. Big congratulations on your weightloss, 100lbs is insane!

[@reader_dragon]

As one of the testers for Crystal Legacy, as well as being one of the sprite artists for Yellow Legacy, I recommend you play it yes! :D

[@Kilo6Charlie]

I think I might be able to call it here... Black and White remakes will drop before this finishes, forcing you to go through them at the end. Might wanna plan for that possibility when it comes around to it, leaving 2 mons on a few early routes available. You'll thank yourself if it happens, though prolly be annoyed if it doesn't which... Fair

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

I don't think they'll be out by then tbh, especially with the RNG manipulation that is achievable in Gens 3-5, leaving us to Gen 6 where the shiny odds are doubled. Hopefully it'll be finished by the time Z-A comes out!

[@tankizard]

9:31 OK, I understand people using their phones as their way to tell time, but I've *never* understood putting one's phone in the butt pocket. I feel like that's just *asking* for your butt to smash your phone screen

[@auroraaddison9904]

I was there during the hoppip struggle I can say the struggle was real

[@michaelmu6765]

Pokerus run sounds like hell, if you take too long in-game it'll be gone so you gotta keep infecting Pokemon as you go

[@lot10underground54]

As agreed upon by Meatball and myself in a live chat that definitely really happened, each infection has to be a unique strain. You’re not allowed to infect your party.

[@BABBLEBOAR]

My man knows how to grind. Blessed content.

[@sirpine7784]

Every time that I shiny hunt from now on and it takes forever, I'll just think back to this video lol

[@kristianbylard8135]

I thought of a slightly different challenge for you once you eventually complete this series challenge: Full Series Nuzlocke, but your encounter choices for each game are worked through a randomizer. Basically, you can't optimize your team as much as you could with the first run through, and don't have to deal with the time sink of the shiny challenge.

[@v3nevergod]

Brother, I love this series, but in the first five minutes you made us sit through the introduction, complaining about losing subs, a sponsor segment, and asking for $25 to nickname a Pokémon. I nearly clicked off the video because of this, I realise that all that information is important to mention, but maybe try to sprinkle it throughout the video instead of dumping it all in the beginning. Dont take this the wrong way, I hope your channel grows and prospers. Take care!

[@TaKKun1123]

It was less than 5 minutes of time... and front loading this stuff in a long video is really normal considering the typical viewer clicks off videos after 10 mins

[@vincejlite5397]

It was 2 minutes and 40 seconds. This is 40 seconds longer than the average viewer of a channel of this size typically will watch before clicking off due to disinterest. If you are multiple videos into the series, maybe we don't need the full intro. And a youtuber whining that their own poor marketing and abuse of community pings is hurting their channel is not what to use these 2 minutes of attention span on.

[@sean_da_bomb]

He always does that it gets annoying

[@saouer]

and then within 10 minutes another sponsor is plugged too lol... i get that he's gotta make money, no shame in that, but two sponsors within 10 minutes is kinda crazy. maybe sprinkle it around more?

[@Morrohg]

Using youtube without sponsor, promo and ad block in 2024 seems like self inducing brain rot

[@ivanbluecool]

[@wrocco8761]

Good video, it was fun watching the first few hunts live!

[@foxoncrack4553]

Yeah subscribe and like guys just remember if you want to watch the nuzlocke live then become a member and pay a subscription and remember if you win an argument you are going to be banned from the channel... just in case you were wondering why he lost 1000 subscribers without him going into detail

[@Sunny-ut4fe]

It’s his channel he can literally ban anyone he wants☠️ it’s pokemon it’s not that deep yo, if he thinks that guy was disturbing the stream then he has every right to ban him considering it’s his channel

[@KaotikImpulse]

Member only streams make no sense. Gifted subs are a whole money making model where you have a chance that a random viewer winning one will gift subs in return or possibly resub at the end of the gift. Members only eliminates that. I guess the pool of current members is lucrative enough to cap the steam potential there

[@GodBroly]

Found the guy that got banned for being a douchebag on stream! Lol shut up dude.

[@antoinepolnareff8970]

On the new games that have forms to increase Shiny odds I thing you should alliw them from the Beginning. So maybe the last game is from gen 10 at best, even if those ways are locked behind postgame

[@FroststormFrenzy]

Your luck is simple. "What would be the funniest and/or most infuriating outcome possible?"

[@Azonavox]

Hey! I had no idea your series existed but I’m pretty excited about your mainline Nuzlocke. I’m also doing this. Just about to go into FRLG, any suggestions?

[@thekakeking9400]

I thought that there was an error, meaning that the dragon fang did nothing and the scale boosted dragon type attacks. Honestly, I think they should have been combined.

[@marioncardin5822]

Shiny Jumpluff is so underrated, it's a wonderful shiny ✨✨

[@stevesamuals2651]

Could you explain your thought process behind using espeon in this game when you usually save that evolution for collusium?

[@empoleon7750]

[@071060134]

Fun fact: NPCs with healing can only heal their highest level pokemon... So red can only heal Pikachu.

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

Honestly I had no idea that was a thing for Gen 2's AI, very nice to know!

[@behrensjulian3602]

Red only uses his Full Restores on his highest leveled mon, which is Pikachu

as nuzlocke rules specify that only a pokemon per route can be used, my question is: was it correct to play both sudowoodo and eevee as they both hatched in Goldenrod city?

[@SpoilerGoblin]

Given the ridiculous rules of this challenge already, I’ll say it’s fine, so long as he considered the locations that the original Eevee and Sudowoodo were sourced.

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

Oh for sure, but for as early as it is, it makes sense to do the Berry repeat thing. In fact, that's what they do in the Oak Challenge of Gold/Silver to get the Moon Stone before Falkner so you can get Wigglytuff. AbsolBlogsPokemon has a great video on that exact interaction in this game.
