As someone that loves challenges in Pokemon, this really doesn't feel like a challenge but more of a strict rng run. Hardcore nuzlocke being a great set of rules with a good balance of rng and strategy, this feels like if you don't have a specific pokemon with specific moves then you just lose.

[@jashargubetini2477]

Nuzlocke is BORING!!!

[@drakedbz]

@@jashargubetini2477 nuzlocke is only boring if you don't allow infinite rarecandies to skip the grinding (limited by the hardcore ruleset to be no higher level than the next gym leader's ace). Trust me when I say nuzlocking is much better without the grind.

[@tobythetuna7482]

Oh man I'm so happy to see ironmon content makin the rounds. I absolutely love it and xwater does such a great job of breaking down what is honestly a pretty complicated ruleset. But once you understand the basics, it changes how you approach the game so drastically even old hands at nuzlocks and challenge modes in general will feel refreshed and excited to hop into the same games again. Also back to back to back first try labs is absolutely nutty. I keep having to edit my comment wth is happening

[@vanesslifeygo]

I've known a 5th grader who cried when his save data started getting corrupted (due to reckless cheats) and he lost his starter Pokemon. He cried for an hour and a half. The talk on the dangers of emotional attachment in this modded game is legit - whatever you play with accomplishes more than a starter has to. Losing it means losing something even more resilient.

[@Moonchild1607]

Never seen a run like this before with all these extra and mostly hard rules. It's interesting! I might gonna try it out for myself.

[@apnea4905]

It’s cool as fuck

[@undying3132]

28:15 The ultimate monkeys paw situation

[@NyancyCat]

I've just realized that Ironmon is basically Pokemon as a roguelike!

[@CSmyth-]

"Just realized" ? Lol why phrase it like it's a huge discovery of yours when the runner literally introduced the race by saying that?

[@TCC180]

teleport is kinda nice actually since you can save yourself from a poison post battle. granted you can't use it in dungeons/gyms, but still.

[@geekygage9038]

For anybody curious, doom doh goes about another 2 hours until surge where it is instantly wiped by stab muddy water coming from a sharpedo. That said, you should still check out xwater. It was a good run.

[@andersonmccall895]

Why spoil almost the whole run?

[@TychoKingdom]

@@andersonmccall895 I know right. What I'm the world.

[@alancounter32]

Ty hero with no cape 😊

[@DJEevee257]

NOOO I was hoping it'd clear

[@connorr3473]

First time I've heard of this sort of challenge but looks amazing

[@prinnydadnope5768]

Really interesting run type, thanks for sharing this

[@endeityloon136]

poor slimer keeps crying out "please love me father"

[@HeilerDerWelten]

Absolutely!

[@1xXNimrodXx1]

1:53:04 thats why you always should carry a ton of pokeballs with you if you do not have a move for it, to save those pp

[@nooredinalmasri8817]

anyone know if he posted the continuation on YT ? If so please post a link, thanks

[@ExSpectre]

Me: “these runs can’t be too hard, you just need to grind. Grinding not hard.” Xwater: “You can’t kill wild Pokémon.” Me: “… welp… nvm.”

[@DJEevee257]

And the fact that getting out of the lab is a pain in the butt..

[@deformations]

Have only heard the rules, and I’m ridiculously impressed that this video is

[@deformations]

Ok I get it now but still dope as hell

[@ador4873]

I did not understand the rules, what is it about

[@b.s.c.l2959]

That is one cool shirt frfr

[@boySoulCreeves]

The first time I got out of the lab, the first trainer had a mewtwo and I was one shot 😭

[@AnimeFanX11]

Xwater what are some examples where the QoL may give an advantage? And what are some examples where its disadvantageous vs the original cart?

[@TheChickenFuneral]

poison immunity vulpix was dirty

[@batman513_6]

Gulpin : “am I a joke to you?”

[@aklover6725]

Omg yes!!!! Thank you for posting!!!!!

[@chaddavis4311]

Did anyone manage to get the discord with all the resources and such? Im actually interested in getting a start in something like this, ive absolutely never done any kind of randomizer but id like to maybe give something like this a shot

[@MStrong95]

Does xwater have the chaos carp Pokémon runs on KZbin? Would love to watch them.

[@xmambax6026]

Anyone know if this is playable on an Android phone, and what's the discord for this community? I'm really interested in trying to pick this up

[@vietanhnguyen3802]

man i do need xwater lugia wallpaper engine

[@formerlyknownasmousecopp4367]

I'm curious if he continued that last run, how much further did Doom Doh make it?

[@ddbulldogs12]

Does anyone know if he continued this run on his channel?

[@CloudianMH]

I kind of oof'd when he thought about running the galilie and then actually oof'd when he kept the zangoose without thunderpunch. Hope it works out. I would have kept the duskyboy

[@Sycth55]

In Doom Doh we trust

[@weedgoblin561]

BRO THAT SHIRT

[@pontyfaxjr]

I believe in Doom Doh supremacy

[@VanXsGameOn]

Excelent Video 10/10 i want try too this mod!

[@brap_stu_tu_tu]

You said the Pokémon has to be the same level or lower to pivot. I’m confused because all the rules I’ve read and played said it has to be within 3 levels of your Pokémon. Best wishes, Jon

[@davidbritt7298]

How do u play Kaito ironmon

[@dropoutscout]

I’d love to know if this run ever finished, and/or when it died!

[@scottgillis7369]

I found a recording of it on his twitch page, so you can finish the story there

[@TheDirtbaggrif]

These trainer names are incredible

[@DemiGodGotenku]

What if you starter pokemon you picked is a legendary or a sudo legendary, do you have to pivet or no

[@mxspokes]

you take one and must *immediately* pivot when you can

[@cameronschumacker3087]

falco's fair isn't not annoying

[@bobdylan7299]

Churchnsarge do you play MTG. That shuffle looks like what I do while starting a game of magic

[@ChurchnSarge]

I've played a few games but I'm more a fan of other card games. Played Yugioh a lot as a kid, moved on to Final Fantasy Trading Card Game. Also just a big fan of Cardistry/ card magic

[@joaovictorlauriano6989]

Ohh I wanted to see more :(

[@brandagainst07]

Nice.

[@Edzward]
