Gutes Video, aber ich frage mich wie ein Nuzlocke von dir Erstellt aussehen würde.

[@JarradSpring89]

Love the way you integrate the ads! Very clever and makes me not want to skip them like I usually do

[@peacefulflower9468]

Not gonna lie, this hack looks like it sucks and it doesn't deserve the narrative effort. Just flooding things with nuzlocke-specific agitators like quick claw, focus band, metronome, forced gauntlets? Like, in normal runs, these are annoyances, and in nuzlockes they're just pure aggravation. Doesn't really matter how "varied" the hack is if it's all just annoying. Thanks at least for showing the hack off so I know what not to download, but the forced, stringed along narrative for a hack like this that's just pure annoyance just made this more of a struggle to watch since I am of the belief that a hack that is made to be challenging should give a challenge, something interesting to be overcome. This one ain't it chief.

Another great part of the Tiffany Fight that's so great is how her 'defeat message' actually lines up with the build up. "I played too much!" inquiring that she has stood and trained before us as long as an eldritch creature should Does anybody remember how grueling getting a lvl99 Pokémon was in gen 2? Doing so requires a will of titanium, and it shows...

[@scriptingrobloxian8685]

Meanwhile young me, who didn’t realize there were easier ways to level up Pokemon (like rare candies) and grinded my typhlosion to level 100 without them: *Ability: Unaware*

[@Dutch_is_a_Weird_Language]

Or, you know, you were 8 years old, did not speak English yet and were fascinated by your first own Pokémon game, so you just used your starter for everything and kept trying random stuff until *eventually* the next phase of the game opened up. I wish I still had that dedication sometimes.

[@inderdeepsingh5498]

@@Dutch_is_a_Weird_Language I had the exact same experience. My first game was crystal and I didn't know enough English to read and my parents definitely didn't so I would just run around with my Feralagtr who knew 4 hm moves until I could get to the next fight

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

My only memories of the original gen 2 games are having a level 99 feraligatr, and then losing my level 98 pidgeot while trying out the pokemon duplication glitch my brother told me about. So no, I don't remember how much grinding it took to get a pokemon to level 99.

[@dodge7246]

I love how The Run That Refused To Die made Jan more inclined to keep going on a seemingly doomed attempt And also...Is it just me, or is he calling his Pokemon by their nicknames more often?

[@flaskeyboredom5942]

I think this happened before that.

[@KwehKwehKweh]

[@geremynunezortega7346]

The second best grass type you can get is Jumpluff, so it makes it the best option by discard, it also have two of the best moves (Synthesis and Giga drain)

[@jacobmonks3722]

I like Chikorita a lot. It has a decent amount of bulk, Synthesis, Reflect, and Light Screen. You can also give it Sunny Day to negate the hail during the Red fight. It's probably the best support 'mon in Gen 2.

[@screwtokaiba]

Chikorita got such a ridiculous buff in this game that everyone kinda passed over. It basically got Zacian ability for special attack relative to gen 2

I love how you make this sunkern seem like an unstoppable malevolent god and then literally ohko it second turn

[@alejandromora4971]

Its funny because without ariados it is a demon, I've seen sunkern end runs not by winning by itself but by crippling whole teams so igglybuff wins alone

[@ultimapower6950]

It also gets obliterated by Arcanine

[@shockdoggo6889]

Really funny how tiffany and her sunkern were hyped up as really strong just for an ariados to megahorn that thing into next thursday

[@tigerwarrior1787]

That would be PAIN

[@godzilaa4]

Even more emotional damage for sure if they evolved after she white out your pokemon

[@jwoodsonmusic]

It’s actually insane how much your videos have improved. Your storytelling is absolutely on another level. You’ve figured out how to make ads entertaining consistently. I can feel the passion in your work and I’m so happy to have watch you grown as a content creator over the last few years. You’re absolutely killing it and should be proud of yourself.

[@vivalaglavii6736]

My favorite part is how he weaves his ads with the story of his nuzlock so you can't skip it without loosing (some) context.

[@gusthegodofgaming9915]

Ad integration recently is top tier

[@TheWeirdo1337]

it still feels kinda forced, but yeah, he's getting better at it.

[@Vemon.]

Nah, it doesn't feel forced at all.

[@itsOZone]

@Vemon. it 100% does, but thats not a bad thing, hes improving, of course hes not gunna be perfect right away. constructive criticisms will help him get better faster than blind praise. these videos lack the energy of his old videos, and are getting very samey, but the story telling is better. compared to his old videos these kinda put you to sleep tho

Essentially when your opponent is the one using "the power of friendship" instead of you

[@nightart9345]

Beyond the mountains, you'll be seeing... red dragons in a raging lake. But at its shores, there lives a being... leaves *desolation* in its wake. Don't go through battles singing, humming... don't hold your badges up too proud. The eldritch plant, *it feels you coming...* its roots are that deep underground. The fairy looms, your throat is tightening. Its roundness blocking what you seek. It slams and strikes you with its lightning. You're paralyzed... you cannot speak. When heading down this path, you hear... the ever-ticking metronome. It strikes your feeble heart with fear. It terrifies you *to the bone.* Now lead your Pokemon to lay... their necks into the guillotine. Step up into her sights and pray. The other side, *you may not see.* There's no more hope, there's no more light. My greatest Pokemon for thee. I've given you great sacrifice... Please spare my life, oh *Tiffany.* Verse 1: 0:00 Verse 2: 7:24 Verse 3: 9:20 Verse 4: 13:34 Verse 5: 20:19 Verse 6: 27:57 Jan sings the whole poem at 27:03 I did my job here e.e

God the buildup was amazing, I wasn’t expecting all of the poems to come together and when they did, it was legitimately chilling. I have never felt more intimidated by a small child before.

[@ilianplompen9975]

[@VerkatosEnsei]

Kind of insane how this game managed to make baby Pokemon seem so threatening

[@maxspecs]

I'm surprised the Sunkern doesn't have Substitute. SubSeed Protect and Toxic would make it truly untouchable.

[@nomatyx5789]

That's why it doesn't have it. With high level pokemon you have to be extremely extremely careful with how you design them.

[@Tyler-nq5tk]

The smartest play in this video was incorporating the ad into actual information about some encounters to incentivize watching it the whole way through.

[@UnpopularWalrus]

I've been following this on PChal Daily and even though I knew everything that was going to happen loved watching this video. The rhymes and the foreshadowing were fantastic, and if I didn't know the outcome already I would have been sure this was the end of the run. There was so much drama in those fights too - the Megahorn miss, the Zap Cannon miss, the Spider Web, the Dig into EQ, even the String Shot into Nilton EQ strat was fantastic. This game is insane and these videos really make me want to play it myself. Nice job Jan, your scripts keep getting better.

Hey Pchal, great video ! I was wondering, is there any chance you could, even just temporarily, add somewhere in your overlay a clock?
