I've just watched a grown man complete a (harder) pokemon game the way that every small child that struggles to read beats their first pokemon game: By getting something overpowered (or over-levelled) and just using it through the entire game by mashing A. There's something quietly poetic about it.
There is a theory that with infinite time a monkey mashing keys on a typewriter will write a masterpiece eventually. We are witnessing that first hand. This is a historic moment in human life and I am happy to be witnessing it.
He didn't even need to do homework to get better. He literally just needed to read what the game itself was telling him, and he would have been probably fine.

This is a good case study about paying attention and learning game knowledge Most nuzlockers, even beginner ones, still try to use resources at their fingertips. Along with that, they try to read and take in all the knowledge they have in their games. I know that some MOBAs make you need to have a "memorize what to do, and do it as often as you can" which shows here with speed up and missing drops or raises, or just mashing A and not reading the on screen text, and even just not looking at the type chart.
@@bicepskingwell, at the beginning Jan said that Caedrel didn't really play a lot of pokemon past gen 2, so that's mainly my reasoning for mentioning the type chart But past that, Caedrel also went way too fast and ignored in-game text, which led to runs being ended prematurely. Such as defense drops and opposing stat raises.
@@tmdiz4579 Thats exactly my point. He was being lazy and only did it for content but him being lazy doesnt really have anything to do with him playing lol which is what op implied. The dude reguarly watches korean pro games where often NOTHING really happens for the first 25 mins. he has the patience if he wants to
I don't rly by the throwing for content excuse, doesn't really make sense to me alot of ppl tend to get mildly annoyed if it happens too often, just personally I like to see skillful plays in nuzlockes idk he's just mashing through everything and isn't rly willing to tske it seriously, which is fine
The fast-forward feature is just too dangerous, especially when he doesn't know type matchups. He ends up skipping past the text telling him which moves are effective, or gets his pokemon killed by mashing through the fights too fast
@ndomgamer8504 yeah, there are options to cap it at, say, 3x speed. pokemon w/o speed-up is agonizingly slow, which I think is why he resorted to mashing speed up so much here. giving him an in-between option would be perfect.
Wow, this is the first time I've seen someone be bad at pokemon. Even when I was 5 and just levelled my starter I at least knew what was super effective and what wasnt. I hope this doesn't come across as hate, I'm just dumbfounded
PChal let me just say that I enjoyed the hell out of this video. Thank you for being committed enough to your craft to work so hard on creating content like this.
Its so funny to me cause i thought it was just an XQC thing. But its so hilarious how some streamers react to things as if they havent been sitting in the chair playing for hours. When he was half way through the battle and said "i didnt know a double battle was here!" I laughed so hard
I'll agree, but with the stipulation that it's an old fashioned AI that is really just a simple flowchart. Since current talking-points AI is much more willing to, uh, learn.
ngl this was one of your most fun videos yet, just the way you put his questionable decisions into perspective and explain the broken movesets etc. is super funny
Well, I did enjoy the vid, that being said, I wouldn't enjoy watching this dude play Pokemon for hours at a time simply because he doesn't learn. If he learned a little more each time, it would be different, but because it isn't, then it's easy to predict how a thing like this would end. He got the lucky legendary. The perfect rando-nuzlocke starter; especially for an A-spammer. It covers his weaknesses, lol
This guy definitely strikes me as the type of guy who is good at one game, so he just kind of expects that he can brute force his way through any game lol and it’s the perfect storm because pokemon LOOKS like a children’s game, but then is somehow super complex behind the scenes. It’s like someone being amazing a football and then expecting to just be a grand master in chess without learning any openings because they’re like, “Oh, I played this as a kid. I’m a world class athlete, I can be a grandmaster easily in chess.”
Reminder that Muk has 105/100 defenses and a game's worth of EV's against Rayquaza's 70 BP mist ball. Still an insane survival bc Ray's 150 spatk, but Gen 1 Pokemon had randomly high hp and defenses. Compared to more recent pokemon, at least.
Honestly the montage at the end was really satisfying. You put that much time in you deserve to wipe the elite 4 with big dragons with the chat pogging you
Haven't finished the video yet, so maybe this comes up, But it's really interesting Jan would recommend a randomizer. Jan's version of nuzlocking is calc-based, not planning-for-anything and scouting-based. Since they're using a randomizer that has smoothed out the usual randomness (removing what I usually find less interesting about randomizers) I'd be really interested in seeing Jan do one. I've never actually seen him play without knowing the opponent's team and moves.
@@AutriBanerjee Oh interesting. I'm surprised because I've heard Jan say that randomizers are kind of boring because they're too arbitrary. But something like this would hit that middle ground.
Most of his Nuzlockes are blind runs though, where he builds up knowledge of the game one trainer at a time. So he often does do the scouting based gameplay until he has gathered enough information about the game to start doing calcs.
It's a recommendation for a League player. This man wouldn't read a type chart, let alone do calcs. Giving him a game that would require more than mashing A would make it impossible for him to ever finish.
@@DarcyBitswell Jan is probably self aware enough to realize that he isn’t the weird one in this situation for being so calc based. Caedrel isn’t an aspiring Pokémon challenge runner, he’s a lol caster, analyst, and player that wanted to try some variety. So for caedrel and his chat they aren’t gonna sit there and do calc, Caedrel didn’t even look at the type chart. Making it a randomizer gave more variety which is way more entertaining than seeing the exact same mons for every attempt. It because to predictable which is good for a challenge runner but boring for someone who just wants to have some fun with chat
As someone who has played and watched League of Legends for 15 years and also a lover of pokemon and nuzlockes I feel like im in a very rare cross section of two communities that gets a more unique experience viewing this lmao. The majority of comments are Pokémon people that have no idea who Caedral is and probably don’t know anything about league (especially because it’s old and kind of dying out) and I’m absolutely here for it
Challenge run idea: use the same randomizing rules, but you don’t get to see what pokemon you or your opponent have. In fights you only get to see everyone’s healthbar and move selection is reduced to “hit beeg” for moves above 60 bp, “hit smol” for below 60 and “useless move” for every status and set up move.
I think the randomized hinders a newcomer learning Pokémon. The games are set up in such a way to help guide you through learning the type chart both in terms of wild encounters and battles but when you never know what’s coming next it’s more difficult to keep track of everything coming at you at once. Yes, he had the type chart he should have referenced but I think when someone is in a new situation like that, one can get bogged down in the processes and forget external resources (as evidently happened here) while if the process is designed to teach you then you have a better chance to learn as you go. Still a great and hilarious run to watch, though I thought I’d offer some thoughts about why it didn’t quite go the way you intended it to
It went perfectly. Caedrel isn't interested in being a Pokémon player. He's a dedicated LoL dude. This was for content. First and foremost. And Jan took that into consideration when setting things up for him. The results speak for themselves. Caedrel got grade A content and so did Jan. Collab victory.
The funny thing is that this was actually good design by Jan. The run was beatable by brute forcing, but learning would have saved him so much time but not every players wants to learn and some players just want to brute force it and feel fucking great after many attempts. Unironicly great difficulty design.
I didn’t catch this stream but scrolling through my feed and seeing you guys collabed is insane to me, it’s like some kind of weird crossover I never expected, like ninja turtles and power rangers. Caedrel is one of my favorite streamers and when he said he was going to do a nuzlocke I immediately thought of you, I hoped for this since h talked about it and here we are. Awesome to see.
It was all for content, why actually learn about the game when you can just farm xdd's from chat whenever something dies? Caedrel is a smart guy and if he actually wanted to learn pokemon he could
@@ctm3922what does this say about our society that we rather watch somebody putting in no effort and fake screaming and raging the whole time instead of somebody actually putting effort in to be the best in what he does… to me that is a death sentence to humanity as a whole.
"Okay this one is ground and....electric" *sends in Manectric* This one absolutely slew me. God, Jan's right, not looking shit up and learning is bad gameplay but GREAT content
pChal really went out of the way to make the perfect nuzlocke for a beginner and league player here was so braindead that he beat it the only way a league player could while learning absolutely nothing in the process. Poetic.
Random little fact regarding the Trapinch: In Gens 3 and 4 (and possibly others I'm not sure) AI trainers' pokemon will always have their first abilities (except for certain special/boss trainers which are chosen specifically). So Trapinch will always have Hyper Cutter for most trainers. Randomizers completely adhere to this rule, so you'll never have to worry about Huge Power Azumarill.

This guy definitely strikes me as the type of guy who is good at one game, so he just kind of expects that he can brute force his way through any game lol and it’s the perfect storm because pokemon LOOKS like a children’s game, but then is somehow super complex behind the scenes. It’s like someone being amazing a football and then expecting to just be a grand master in chess without learning any openings because they’re like, “Oh, I played this as a kid. I’m a world class athlete, I can be a grandmaster easily in chess.”
This video did actually kinda feel like an Ironmon video. Just getting lucky with a broken starter after dozens of attempts got him the win
That run would be incredibly painful and infuriating to watch
You missed the most important part “Dragon claw that mf” and he said that on repeat
Zero attempt to learn the game, just get Rayquaza and win. Absolutely based.
Caedrel is funny af, the NEIN kills me every time 😂
someone has probably already said this but the reason the lanturn in the Archie fight still had thunder pp is because thunder has 10 pp.
“he’s ground and electric right chat” “ok let’s go… sparky” that shit got me dead
Reminder that Muk has 105/100 defenses and a game's worth of EV's against Rayquaza's 70 BP mist ball. Still an insane survival bc Ray's 150 spatk, but Gen 1 Pokemon had randomly high hp and defenses. Compared to more recent pokemon, at least.
"Electric type is countered by air" is gonna live rent free in my head from now on
15:48 Dude this almost made me slit it my water, the confidence he said it with 😂
Honestly the montage at the end was really satisfying. You put that much time in you deserve to wipe the elite 4 with big dragons with the chat pogging you
I love the Ratking but he legit said the "type chart is too hard to follow" and ignored it
Haven't finished the video yet, so maybe this comes up,
But it's really interesting Jan would recommend a randomizer. Jan's version of nuzlocking is calc-based, not planning-for-anything and scouting-based.
Since they're using a randomizer that has smoothed out the usual randomness (removing what I usually find less interesting about randomizers) I'd be really interested in seeing Jan do one. I've never actually seen him play without knowing the opponent's team and moves.
he used to do a lot before but i think these calc based stuff works better as content for him
@@AutriBanerjee Oh interesting. I'm surprised because I've heard Jan say that randomizers are kind of boring because they're too arbitrary. But something like this would hit that middle ground.
Most of his Nuzlockes are blind runs though, where he builds up knowledge of the game one trainer at a time. So he often does do the scouting based gameplay until he has gathered enough information about the game to start doing calcs.
It's a recommendation for a League player. This man wouldn't read a type chart, let alone do calcs. Giving him a game that would require more than mashing A would make it impossible for him to ever finish.
@@DarcyBitswell Jan is probably self aware enough to realize that he isn’t the weird one in this situation for being so calc based. Caedrel isn’t an aspiring Pokémon challenge runner, he’s a lol caster, analyst, and player that wanted to try some variety. So for caedrel and his chat they aren’t gonna sit there and do calc, Caedrel didn’t even look at the type chart. Making it a randomizer gave more variety which is way more entertaining than seeing the exact same mons for every attempt. It because to predictable which is good for a challenge runner but boring for someone who just wants to have some fun with chat
As someone who has played and watched League of Legends for 15 years and also a lover of pokemon and nuzlockes I feel like im in a very rare cross section of two communities that gets a more unique experience viewing this lmao. The majority of comments are Pokémon people that have no idea who Caedral is and probably don’t know anything about league (especially because it’s old and kind of dying out) and I’m absolutely here for it
this was a blast to watch lmfao please do more if you can. Watching people,that are not too familiar with Pokémon, play Pokémon is so much fun
This is the equivalent of watching a person who has never driven climb behind the wheel of an f1 car and then attempt to just drag race the Indy 500
The mullet in that sponsor segment is majestic oml
Damn you fell off
love this and the production value is much higher than your past vids, keep it up
Challenge run idea: use the same randomizing rules, but you don’t get to see what pokemon you or your opponent have. In fights you only get to see everyone’s healthbar and move selection is reduced to “hit beeg” for moves above 60 bp, “hit smol” for below 60 and “useless move” for every status and set up move.
Kid mode lol
Oh my fucking God I'm so glad the extended universe reached this far.
I think the randomized hinders a newcomer learning Pokémon. The games are set up in such a way to help guide you through learning the type chart both in terms of wild encounters and battles but when you never know what’s coming next it’s more difficult to keep track of everything coming at you at once. Yes, he had the type chart he should have referenced but I think when someone is in a new situation like that, one can get bogged down in the processes and forget external resources (as evidently happened here) while if the process is designed to teach you then you have a better chance to learn as you go. Still a great and hilarious run to watch, though I thought I’d offer some thoughts about why it didn’t quite go the way you intended it to
It went perfectly. Caedrel isn't interested in being a Pokémon player. He's a dedicated LoL dude.
This was for content. First and foremost. And Jan took that into consideration when setting things up for him.
The results speak for themselves. Caedrel got grade A content and so did Jan.
Collab victory.
The funny thing is that this was actually good design by Jan. The run was beatable by brute forcing, but learning would have saved him so much time but not every players wants to learn and some players just want to brute force it and feel fucking great after many attempts. Unironicly great difficulty design.
I didn’t catch this stream but scrolling through my feed and seeing you guys collabed is insane to me, it’s like some kind of weird crossover I never expected, like ninja turtles and power rangers. Caedrel is one of my favorite streamers and when he said he was going to do a nuzlocke I immediately thought of you, I hoped for this since h talked about it and here we are. Awesome to see.
"Your honor, League of Legends."
"Death."
36:50 Ah yes the Ground Electric type Rhydon.
Its notrious for shooting electricity from its horn😂🤣
Dude that new recording room looks so damn cozy man. Love it
The amount of unwillingness to learn ANYTHING from him was actually so unbelievably annoying to me, omg.
Yeah that was awful
It was all for content, why actually learn about the game when you can just farm xdd's from chat whenever something dies?
Caedrel is a smart guy and if he actually wanted to learn pokemon he could
Aye and thats the reason why he is a giga successful streamer while you have 100 views on your vids
@@bicepsking And you have no content and not even a profile pic. You're infinitely more irrelevant than I am.
@@ctm3922what does this say about our society that we rather watch somebody putting in no effort and fake screaming and raging the whole time instead of somebody actually putting effort in to be the best in what he does… to me that is a death sentence to humanity as a whole.
"Okay this one is ground and....electric"
*sends in Manectric*
This one absolutely slew me. God, Jan's right, not looking shit up and learning is bad gameplay but GREAT content
Pokémon nuzlocke randomizer, but all of the player inputs are also randomized!
This is honestly my new fav video on your channel, great work!
pChal really went out of the way to make the perfect nuzlocke for a beginner and league player here was so braindead that he beat it the only way a league player could while learning absolutely nothing in the process. Poetic.
Random little fact regarding the Trapinch: In Gens 3 and 4 (and possibly others I'm not sure) AI trainers' pokemon will always have their first abilities (except for certain special/boss trainers which are chosen specifically). So Trapinch will always have Hyper Cutter for most trainers. Randomizers completely adhere to this rule, so you'll never have to worry about Huge Power Azumarill.
kinda dissapointed of the no character developpement, was funny though.
at the end of the day, this guy's a LoL player and it shows.
“Electric type is countered by air” said with absolute confidence had me dying.
RAT KING
Banger video, this is the crossover we all wanted. Also these randomizer rules are awesome especially the random type-based learnsets
I don’t know why it took me yelling “why” to Swellow being weak to rock tomb to realize that maybe it has something to do with killing two birds with one stone 😅
... It's because birds have hollow bones that break extremely easily from blunt force trauma...
Easily the best react to a Nuzlocke run ever. Comedy gold from start to finish XD
oh shit new main channel vid
I genuinely enjoy the idea of creating tailormade challenge runs for other creators, this was a lot of fun!
