Let's Play All of Pokemon Black 2 & White 2: A Nuzlocke

[@RTGame]

We have condensed the entire game of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 into a single video. A massive amount of work went into this project, and my editor Cloe has worked exceptionally hard on it. We wanted to do Gen 5 of Pokemon justice and represent as much as humanly possible. Please go send love for Cloe, and I hope everyone enjoys the video. You can also watch the previous Pokemon Black and White Nuzlocke via the link in the description. Thank you

[@ZoeyAnonschild]

Even luckier when you consider that since Grief was on such low health, the AI opts for a completely random attacking move (it wouldn’t have gone for Thunder Wave since Grief was paralysed, but idk if a Pokemon could go for that in another scenario). So the odds of Togekiss going for Air Slash (the only of Togekiss’ three attacks that can miss) is 1/3, the odds of Air Slash missing being 1/20 and then Grief not getting paralysed being 3/4. So the odds of Grief surviving is 1/80, or 1.25% Edit: Grief is a Ghost type, so the Togekiss wouldn’t have ever gone for ExtremeSpeed or Aura Sphere, so the maths isn’t as accurate as initially depicted, but I’ll keep it there because

The fact that Dan highlight most of the features present in this game when most people probably don't care about them while they're watching a nuzlocke proves that this video wasn't just a "nuzlocke", but also an experience, for people that loves this game as much as Dan does, like myself.

Only thing lucario does better than other fighting and steel types is being a fast mixed attacker with setup moves for both special and physical but sword dance all the way basically. And stoutland has stab return, fire fang, ice fang and an optional move for very good coverage. Return minces non rock and steels and fire fang minces the steels. Steel is also a not good offensive typing especially for lucario as fighting covers all of steel’s useful offensive traits. Sure if you need a fighting type. Riolu is your best bet no doubt for accessibility.

The Cynthia Fight at the end is BRUTAL. Not only is it BRUTAL, its nerfed from what it should be.

The Sitrus would have stopped your kill on it, and it would have set up a swords dance and sweeped you.

There is nothing mid about Hugh he is in my opinion the most motivated and well-written rival in the series. My man is on a valiant quest to save his sister’s Purrloin

[@iasomnium919]

It's all fun and games until you steal a child's pokemon. Team grunt: *steals a funny little cat* Hugh: "So you have chosen death."

[@katiemckinney9456]

The only thing Team Plasma will be catching is Hugh's hands.

[@dobregt]

A solid drinking game would be "Take a shot everytime a crit puts RT's Pokemon from full to red health". So many mini-heart attacks

@Crowitzer the Howitzer you're joking, right? You can't actually be serious

[@billie-ve_in_yourself6464]

Thank you to the editor for increasing the volume when the game played great songs from its soundtrack. It’s really nice to hear some of Pokémon’s best songs in the entire franchise

[@Special_Sharpie]

Peliper being named "Reliable" is so fitting lol

[@rhysofsneezingdragon1758]

Especially in gen 5.

[@LL-cu9gn]

You'd think Grief wasn't informed the nuzlocke part of the run was over with how hard he was fighting for his life

[@happyhatebot]

Naming Rosa Success and declaring BW2 as his favorite are why I love this lad. Truly based.

[@MultiZernez]

ending the game with grief dodging an air slash and killing togekiss is iconic

[@Nyxel16]

I want a Pokémon game where the rival ends up joining the evil team out of frustration from losing to you

[@theapexsurvivor9538]

I reckon it could work well for the rising tensions from gym 3 onwards, with the final villain fight after gym 8 having them realise that it isn't actually worthwhile joining them because the evil team can't actually help your rival grow strong enough, so they just leave after stealing the obligatory Master Ball and disappear till the champion takes you to the hall of fame. You're just about to get your data recorded when you hear them shouting wait, and challenging you to one last battle, with the second legendary and a team that might be just a touch competitive, maybe just a little.

[@ryder98307]

But you are always beating the evil team too

[@GeneralAllan]

It is such a shame that I played through these games as an incompetent 8 year old way back in 2012. The amount of content and legendaries I’m realizing I missed makes me want to do it all over again. I even kinda want to play Pokémon White just for the memory link content. Yet it was such a blessing too, I’ve never had more fun with a Pokémon game than I did with White 2. In fact I’d say it was because of my inexperience that I got so much enjoyment out these games. It probably took me more than 100 hours to beat the elite 4 with my most basic of teams. It’s also the only game I naturally levelled a Pokémon up to 100 without candies. My level 100 Emboar named “Omegaflame” sits in the PC box enjoying his much earned retirement after carrying me through all of the game.

[@GeneralAeon]

We had such similar experiences ! I used my emboar all the way, I got the 3 legendary Pokemon on the main routes as part of the story and one more but was unaware of just how much post game there is to this. Wish I could understand pokemon now to enjoy it again

[@bradycadek2409]

I just adore this game with all my heart and not just because it was the one I grew up playing with after the first games, but also because it introduced the idea of Pokémon fusion letting it become its own fan game which is amazing

[@judegk7366]

As a massive fan of Oshawott and considers it my favourite starter Pokemon, Dan growing over time to love Oshawott after hating it for some time makes me so happy!

[@kirishibe]

glad to see both jerma and rt had a viewer ask them to ask their partner to marry them a weird thing to see two youtubers i watch have in common, but i love it

[@abaddonarts1129]

The showcasing of postgame content and then the new songs, finished with Cynthia was so awesome to see, especially with how that fight ended. Thank you for doing this RT

[@lostfan10000]

To this day, one of my greatest regrets is sleeping on Gen 5. But now I've realized some of my most favorite Pokemon are from Unova, Zorua is my most favorite of all. Snivy and Oshawott are two of my most favorite starters. Snivy is real strange for me because in real life I have a bad fear of snakes. Props to Unova.

[@gunnarschlichting9886]

Somehow, reading this comment is what made it finally click for me that Serperior is a "garden" snake. I never realized it before, but that's absolutely what the pun is and why it's just grass and not grass/poison (since garden snakes aren't venomous).

[@milkman6883]

DRINKING GAME: Take a shot whenever Dan says “Correct is the *correct* play here” or equivalent

[@realkingofantarctica]

Nothing in this run was as stressful as seeing the level difference between RT's team for most of the game. Ironically, if he had played with level limits on he would've actually been safer, since it would have forced him to grind up his whole team rather than relying on a few strong ones.

[@lazarusmekhane439]

Till this day, the sad piano theme of Emotion has been forever memorised by me as the passing of the greatest man we've ever known. After all these years, we still miss you, Ross Bob...

[@alexandernovatney9159]

From the moment I saw Messiah, my absolute favorite pokemon line, I knew that it would die to a bull*youtube* move or crit at some point. I'm just glad that he even made it in the team. Better to join the team and die, than to have been left in the box an forgotten T^T 7

[@allieg4178]

The 45 minutes of audino grinding was my favorite part of the live. A sweet solace from the extREME ANXIETY of everything after that point

[@brianna7705]

52:20 "I couldn't care less" is the correct phrase, meaning that you have reached the absolute minimum KZbins to be feasibly given at the given moment. The common incorrect usage is "I could care less," implying a small about of care that could be reasonably diminished.

[@donnaabbott2079]

On that cynthia fight, good grief, that was amazingly close. One more thing, i find it funny that your main character from the first game just runs a store and is a male ranger model. became the champion, then a reused model working a shop. just wow.

[@HazeEmry]

Heh, "good grief"

[@piculra7441]

Two Nuzlockes in a row, Grief won a decisive battle at the end, as the only survivor on the team...name checks out! Also, in the one battle they were present for, Reliable really lived up to their name, too.

[@ViolentlyPetrus]

[@auravulpes]

BTW, just a reminder that for that film to have lost 30 billion pokédollars (or, about 250 million USD assuming 1 pokédollar = 1 yen and using modern exchange rates), they would have had to have somehow spent *at least* that much on the film. Somehow beats 2012's John Carter for both largest production budget and largest box office bomb, all for less than five minutes of movie! Wow!

[@reanimatedf2p509]

As someone who’s favorite Pokémon is Lucario and loves mareep I understand your pain at the ranch encounter

[@rowplatts]

Chandelure is one of my favourite Pokémon, so I was initially sad that it wasn't going to make the cut again this time around. But Grief's return and subsequent HARD carry at the end... It was well worth the wait.

Grief being the last survivor again is just too good
