Fun fact: Alpharad’s emerald randomizer nuzlocke is a reverse fake nuzlocke where in the original run he actually did sweep the game with groudon, but he intentionally reseted it to die on someone else’s groudon for a better video narrative. he mentioned it when reacting to poke challenges reacting to his nuzlockes because jan noticed that in a clip, he had an evolved pokemon that didn’t evolve in the run. Anyways it did make for a better video because it’s boring to see someone sweep the game with a legendary

this reminds me of the fact that several peoples carriers would've not been possible if jaiden didnt make the nuzlocke video like shes the reason nuzlocked became more mainstream and all also perfect timing to release this, i started my second nuzlocke today, already the same amount of deaths in this one as in my first nuzlocke, even before the first gym!

[@KurlyJ42]

This is the best SlowbroGate explanation I’ve seen. No hate towards PC, but addressing the situation in a Reddit review was a bad decision.

Good Points for this video -Iceberg videos are epic -Humorous -20+ minutes Overall a perfectly made video.

Jaiden's nuzlocke videos are really fun. Perhaps someone should make a reaction video to them, that would be pretty interesting :0

[@warmwater9509]

well yes when you cheese something it's hard to have trouble

[@douglasthequilava]

I nuzlocke, and when i do them i have a twist on the Shiny Clause. That being the following: if the player encounters a shiny in a route where a pokemon was already caught, the shiny can only be used if the player releases the original caught pokemon in that area. Actively Shiny hunting is still banned, but if random shiny encounter via grind session, this clause can be triggered. I just refer to it as Modified Shiny Clause. If you have a better name for this twist on the Shiny Clause go ahead and reply to this with the idea.

[@ball_kazumi9667]

with faking wins, then there is the opposite of alpharad faking a lose in his groudon run for a better story

Hmaz got the RAID promo, he truly made it far

[@mikey88888]

a hardcore nuzlock in usum is almost impossible for a different reason. you get your starter pokémon in rout 1 so can’t get a second until rout 2. this means that the schoolteacher is almost impossible to beat. the next challenge is that it’s almost impossible to adhere to lvl caps on the first island. you get too much xp

[@duskplains1235]

[@redscyther7725]

Personally, I knew what Nuzlockes were back in 2014 (my sister vaguely described the concept to me, then I found the Bulbapedia article). I didn't start one until 2015 or so, but I never finished it (somehow I got "bored" of it). I actually started and finished a Nuzlocke for the first time in 2018, after seeing my older brother start one.

[@solgaleo3533]

Hearing all the added rules reminds me of an idea I had for the most absurd fangame I could possibly make, with so many BS rules. Here’s what I came up with: All the player’s stats are reduced by 1 stage by default, including accuracy The player’s Pokémon can’t use held items, opponents can The player’s Pokémon have no abilities, opponents do Opponents moves always hit Opponents can’t have their stats lowered EVs are permanently at 0 for the player and maxed for the opponents Any super-effective attacks from the player hit for neutral damage All neutral attacks from the opponent are counted as super effective All moves from the opponent have flinch chances Additional effects from your moves never happen, but have boosted odds for opponents Opponents are immune to status conditions Move PP is halved for the player Opposing Pokémon gradually regenerate health Wild encounters can not be ran from All pokeballs count as regular pokeballs, even the master ball All Pokémon have legendary catch rates Priority moves have regular priority The player’s Pokémon don’t receive STAB, while the opponents have boosted STAB Protect and detect always fail All Pokémon have the slowest XP curve possible (either the slowest group or a new group that uses the highest XP requirement for every level) All encounters are either bad or heavily skewed towards being bad

[@solgaleo3533]

19:30 sort of a hot take, but if adding rules like that for your first run would make it better than go ahead as long as you don’t pretend. It’s more about having fun than about doing it exactly, like if you feel like, instead of resetting, you want to release your fainted Pokémon and pick up with your still-living Pokémon that’s okay, just don’t lie, if you want to do it for bragging rights you should keep trying until you accomplish something to be proud of, but if it’s for fun, there’s no harm in making it as fun as it can be.

When it comes to second playthroughs of games, I will either enact a 5 pokemon clause, or a specific generation clause.

I lnew about Nuzlockes before Jaiden's video but i didn't really understand them and j thought they were done. It was because of her that decided to try them out and i had a lot of fun (until the 2nd 3rd gyms)

[@Hmaz]

Ty for watching all the way through and commenting! :)

[@jameswhite2308]

Mentions a level clause for a specific Hardcore Nuzlocke, clause, doesn't mention Dupes Clause lol based Dupes (Duplicates)/Species Clause: if you catch a Pokémon , and encounter that same Pokémon on a different route as your first encounter, you may choose to attempt to catch the next Pokémon that has not yet been caught. No one wants 6 Rattata on a team because that's all you encountered Species clause bans catching the same Pokémon of an evolution line in addition to Dupes Clause. Dupes Clause is optional generally, so if I want 5 rattata and that pidgey I also rerolled for, great! But it can get boring with 3 Gyarados, so you only get 1 max

[@HarrisLK69]

Did he just rickroll us?

[@tobysinbad]

TPCI definitely didn’t know what a Nuzlocke was bc they hate their older audience who remember when main series games rewarded curiosity over thoroughness, and who criticise areas of the modern games that feel unfinished, badly thought through or missing altogether, such as SV’s building interiors and an expensive multiplayer mode removes functionality present in previous games

[@ChatturChikalvendi]

My Opinion Regarding the slowbrogate controversy is Does It Really Matters 🌌(great video Btw)

[@Hmaz]

Yeah at the end of the day it's just a few altered numbers on a difficulty hack of a children's game.

I can't make it far enough to utilize the optional rules. I use the second chance rule 'cause I suck at Nuzlockes.

[@ordeaux26]

I am honestly really surprised you didn't cover Riggerz in this video. He is a pretty infamous person in the nuzlocke community, he gatekeeps nuzlocking as a whole saying that the only games like Emerald Kaizo are "true" nuzlockes. He is the person behind the Nuzlocke Validation Council, who decides if nuzlockes are "valid" or not, he was one of the main people behind the Slowbrogate controversy and was the one who pushed it to be such a big deal. He has also accused other nuzlockers like Gian, Drxx and Jo_Ferr of cheating. The entire Nuzlocke community memes this guy often with stuff like "It's may be your run but it's always Riggerz' rules". Though their is also a worse side to all of this as this guy also has some really awful views about Trans people and more.

I dont think he really "randomised" Slowbro, ofc he cheated how could he do those steps and say it "somehow" randomised

[@Azun_Kurone]

It's possible (but still unlikely) he was making a different change and accidentally randomized IVs as well. For example, when you're too lazy to go to Fallarbor Town to use a heart scale, you can just PKHex the move onto your mon and trash the heart scale when you load back in.
