Attempting My First Pokemon Nuzlocke

[@madmanvarietyshow9605]

This new genre of animated nuzlocke recaps is probably my new favorite genre and I must have more.

[@Shalakor]

It's truly carrying on the spirit that Nuzlockes started with, originating with accompanying recap comic page blogs all the way back from the challenge run that gave the Nuzlocke its namesake.

You know what the best part of the Jaiden cameo is? That in the end of the Platinum Nuzlocke, Jaiden's character goes through a heavy introspection wondering if she deserved the victory after losing in the 'other timeline'. This video and Yong's journey are saying that her victory WAS valid and that it inspired this young bug trainer to do the same. Really nice touch, having it be the Platinum Nuzlocke and not the Ruby one.

Having Jaiden animations hinted as the first animated Nuzlockers was such an awesome hint. The animation was amazing, and the story telling was well done. Here's to hoping that Jaiden watches this and that you two get a chance to battle or even do a collabe.

So if Sinnoh Jaiden is canon.... that means that the Ani'mon Universe has at least two timelines, maybe three? The "Origin" and the "Distorted" timeline. Basically the Origin is the one where Jaiden had a journey in Hoenn and maybe later continued a new journey in Sinnoh. However in the Origin timeline we know that Jaiden didn't become Champion due to losing in the Elite Four and that would imply that Young Yong wasn't inspired to go on his own journey in Galar. However in the Distorted Timeline, Jaiden did become Champion which led to Young Yon's own journey. Just a food for thought.

Wow...Now I really hope that other nuzlockes from animation chanels (if theres any other) become part of a huge canon timeline! This coment is underated >:3

Butterfree is weak. Yes it has good boosting moves, yes he can poison, but he can be one shot by many things and except for bug buzz it doesn't do a lot of damage. So in competitive scenario he can shine, in a nuzlocke is just a question of "when will he die?"

My only "rule" when telling a Nuzlocke story, be in a comic or video, is that you should make the viewers/readers care for the Pokémon. Have whatever drama you want, even if is mainly with human characters, but never make it in a way that the Pokémon are forgetful and their deaths are meaningless.

yeah *cough cough* alpharad *cough cough* note: i'm not making fun of alpharad it's just that. it felt like only lapras and mankey got that treatment in his video. oh and we don't talk about the randomized one

[@SuperSylar]

@@Kikonut15 If were to properly give an example of what I meant, I'd say a Nuzlocke I read on DeviantArt (not saying any names). It had great art and a nice interaction with human characters, but the protagonist was like "WTF is a 'pookyman'?" and whenever they lost a pokemon on a battle they treated like it became too grumpy to fight or literally ran away and the protag was like "oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯". I've seen other Nuzlockes that dealt the "death" in different manners and that's ok, but to literally not care at all for any of them? Like they didn't even show what other Pokémon they had until it "died" and was basically thrown into the bin? The utter disrespect! Anyway, I tried to politely point it out as a suggestion to give more screen time for the Pokémon, since I still liked the personality the artist gave to the human characters besides the protag, as it was barely a Nuzlocke (a comic set in Pokémon world, yes, but far from being a Nuzlocke). But for some reason the artist and some half dozen people out of the woodworks came shouting at me "nobody asked for your opinion!" or "shut up! What if the artist is sensible to criticism?!", thinking that I was "forcing" the artist to do that, to follow the rules of the creator of the Nuzlocke, to make us care for the Pokémon caught... I didn't think it was worth it to keep arguing with people that stubborn so I just stopped reading, but I certainly hope I never find other people like that. But seeing over 80 people here on YT agree with my fist comment, I'd say it's safe to assume my POV is right to the majority :P

[@LuLu-uz3lg]

I got ecstatic and a bit teary eyed at the end when Jerry tanked that hit. Immediately reminded me of a romhack I nuzlocked ages ago (Pokemon Unbound) where my only way to win that final bossfight was Crustle living Hoopa Unbound's Attack with Sturdy and OHKO'ing it in return. Nuzlocking gave me so many moments to appreciate non-conventional pokemon and I loved seeing the same thing in your run!

[@oscarotoole1163]

You know. I think Yong got massively lucky when he found Grievous. Sizzlipedes have a 1% chance of spawning on Route 3. So he got insane luck in this run, considering the fact the dude even made it to the end of the run

[@ed_Skynight]

Yeah I just catch mine during Kabu’s gym challenge.

[@sheeeeeesh4779]

1%!!!! And I thought my first encounter sky tower 8% Altaria in emerald was lucky, ig not :(

[@phoenixflamegames1]

@@sheeeeeesh4779it still was lucky, just less rare than the other one.

[@Superchiefable]

He didn't do the first encounter rule, so it's less impressive.

[@logeyperogi1805]

Well, when he explained the rules of his Buglocke, he said that he can catch whatever Bug Types he wants, so it’s possible he just ignored any other encounters to search for Sizzlipede Plus, SwSh and Scarlet and Violet allowed players to see what wild Pokemon are in their surroundings and choose their encounters, whereas in previous games it’s just walk around in the tall grass and hope luck is on your side

I want you to know that sizzlepede has a 1% encounter rate in route three so that means you got REAL lucky to get grievous :)

[@noahcooper6231]

Not really… keep in mind that he wasn’t doing the 1 encounter per area of a traditional nuzlocke and was only catching bug types. He mentioned that he found it after asking around, which means it wasn’t a chance encounter. It probably took a while, but it isn’t lucky if he can keep trying encounters

[@asherwhitaker2789]

That’s true, but also you’d have to be searching for a while probably at the least of 15 minutes. but that (I think) is the only bug in that route (that he hadn’t caught yet)

This was pretty good, you essentially did a monotype nuzlocke. That being said. This was an entertaining video. And if you are interested in doing more, I'd suggest looking into different rulesets such as hardcore nuzlockes but only do that if you want more of a challenge. Ultimately nuzlockes are meant to be fun so really just use the most fun ruleset for you.
