Nuzlocking ALL OF POKEMON, But I Can't Use Repeats (Legends Arceus)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- It's time for a new adventure! After having trekked through many of these games time and time again, I wanted to have one final ultimate challenge in the vanilla mainline Pokemon franchise... Can I beat, every SINGLE Pokemon game in chronological order in a hardcore nuzlocke setting, and without reusing a single Pokemon in any other game? For instance, if I use Bulbasaur in Red version, I won't be able to use it in Blue, Yellow, Firered, or any other game. Come along on this journey with me and find the struggles, the cuts, the innovations, the strategies, and the potential laughs along the way.

i feel like going into volo and accepting the palkia/dialga mistake makes up for the gallade mistake. i personally would have just reloaded with the palkia since nothing of note happened yet.
Honestly I totally get your point on "play other RPGs" but tbfh the RPG elements in Pokémon is NEVER what I play for
I just like running around collecting lots of lil beans😭💕
Plus it feels like many modern RPGs aren't turn based, I prefer turn based because it gives me time to think. The fact it is a Creature Collector with many critters I can befriend is also a factor though. If you like making friends with critters and like farming sims I recommend looking at Paleo Pines and of course the more well known Slime Rancher.
"please play other games than this franchise" oh we do, but i just wanted to see *you* finish *this* challenge since i had been watching since the red and blue video. and ngl it kinda killed my joy to even continue the video after that tangent
Absolutely, glad I’m not alone in this sentiment. Thanks for expressing this in a very direct and clear way.
Same. I don’t want to watch a video where the creator is made at their audience. I half paid attention to the rest.
And his rant seems to miss the point that Pokémon is such a big franchise that it has a diverse fandom with multiple reasons that people like it. Not everyone wants a challenging turn-based RPG. I want to explore with these creatures and to see all the different mons be used in unique ways. Unique ways like not reusing them across multiple games. I will probably finish this series out of sunk cost fallacy alone at this point.
glad i'm not the only one.
i usually find his tangents and jabs towards this series funny since he is spittin' about how flawed they are, as someone who genuinely love this franchise. but tangent about pokemon fans needing to play other games cuz not many people watched his non-pokemon content genuinely tilted me to the point where i had to mute the vid so that he can stfu.
like no SHIT there's better games than the mainline ones: who cares?
i still choose to play these games anyways because i vibe with its gameplay, pokemon rosters, the worldbuilding, etc. and guess what? i can ALSO like better games than it too at the same time. shocking, ik
but anyways, gonna end my own tangent there since y'all get my frustration at this point.
My sentiments exactly. I find it interesting that he complains about the staleness and shallowness of Pokemon, but he built up his channel on it all and almost exclusively makes videos about the series.
I watched his Castlevania video, I love that series. But the video was kinda boring, more that that game specifically is hard to make interesting as it’s so simple and basic. Not knocking him for that, learning experience. But damn dude, you tried something new and different from your norm, it didn’t land like you wanted, and you shame us for it?
@@Larrybonewell ikr? didn't bludd also said that he ain't touching the Alola games anymore after finishing his nuzlocke runs with them...only to go back to Ultra Sun for that one challenge run I honestly forgot the name of?
Most likely for content reasons, but still:
Like you said, he DID build his channel around Pokemon in the first place so...he shouldn't be surprised that his non-pokemon vids wouldn't land all that well in the view department compared to his pokemon ones.
Gallade wasn't used to fight Volo & Giratina, and to be honest, Volo & Giratina are like the only battle that matters that much in this game so I'm not bothered, can;t wait for SV!!
Saying hisuian lilligant is the fuckable version of lilligant is like seeing a womens bathroom sign and in response you moan and bite your lip
Like seriously what is fuckable about hisuian lilligant? Bangs?Shoes? The presence of visible legs? Half of its body looks like a diaper.
Fuck that’s funny.
real, it's just humanoid, not even especially feminine
Lmao
Don't worry about Gallade. Risking and winning the fight against Volo and Giratina with an unusable legend in the party more than makes up for it.
The self report on H. Lilligant is crazy
its insane how i cant stop watching this series & still get so annoyed that this guy doesnt say anything positive about any of these games ever
To be fair there aren’t many positives, I recently got back into pokemon and I dropped scarlet fast, I’m playing BD right now and dabbling in legends and they’re OKAY games, but I’m still enjoying despite the negatives
Feel like I’ve been waiting all my life for you to update this series, I found you and have watched/listened to every single one some multiples of times while driving for work. You rock for making this shit
I play a lot of games. Never heard of you dropping a damageless Castlevania video cause I don't like your general attitude about life and am mainly here because I think the franchiselocke is a really cool idea. I generally think you have cool video ideas with an attitude and delivery that regularly sours them for me.
Sorry for the rude feedback, but you really annoyed me with your rant. I don't watch your other stuff cause I'm not a huge fan of you.
I hope you have a wonderful month and a successful career.
It only makes sense that you face so few competent trainers. At the time of PLA, humans and Pokemon were not co-existing as well as they do in the present. Most people fear Pokemon, and they regularly attack people who enter the wild. Since the player came from the present, they come from a world where knowing how to co-exist and raise Pokemon is practically common knowledge. There are barely any other trainers out there, let alone competent ones like you and Volo.
In regards to different content; I watch them when it catches my interest, but I won't deny that the ones I do see don't appeal to me currently.
I wanna finish watching this series real bad but your commentary and negative attitude makes every single new entry in the series a really hard watch. Complaining about your audience to your audience just isnt the move
Geez man, I get it that you’re frustrated with how viewership works on this site, but berating your viewers is not how you get them to watch other stuff
You are missing the magic of Pokemon, when you complain how people who play Pokemon don't play anything else. It's because Pokemon appeals to people who wouldn't play video games period if not for Pokemon.
I get that that most of the pokemons themselves are iconic but it's that really all the magic of pokemon?
that's not really the magic of pokemon. if you ask me, that example is more an unhealthy attachment. if they got into the pokemon video games, what's realistically stopping them from trying to broaden their horizons?
If anything, pokemon being so omnipresent is more a curse. its a merch brand with thousands of different products, an anime, 3 spinoff anime simultaneously, a game franchise, several spinoff games on phone and switch, the list goes on. they're trying to hook EVERYONE in and while it definitely works for a lot, others see the oversaturation of content as tedious and overbearing. even pokemon fans get so annoyed at them doing so much stuff or seeing their sub feed full of nothing but pokemon uploads. and i say this as a person who LOVES pokemon, i dont like *all* my sub feed to be pokemon :P
You're right, there are so many better games, and that's the problem. 13,000 of your fans may be into Castlevania, 30k into Yu-Gi-Oh 20k into sonic, 5k into cod, 15k into old school RuneScape, 4k into uncharted, 50k into Fortnite. Maybe even half of your fans like wwe, but the other half would drift away if you focus on that, and thats a big loss. There's just so many games that require so much time that you just sorta have to pick a few and let the others slide by because there's just so much that you can't just dedicate your heart to. Pokemon fans are pretty diverse. Most of us come here to listen to you ramble about Pokemon. If I wanna listen to someone talk about RuneScape, I'll go to my RuneScape tubers, and thats just sort of how TH-cam users work. If you aren't regularly uploading the relative content here, it's just a one-off. Your fans came here for a reason and that's Pokemon. It just the brand that you've built and that stuck the hardest. Diverging from the path could lose your watchers because the algorithm will stop recommending you videos from a channel you don't click on. You don't have to overwhelm yourself doing different topics. Putting it somewhere else is a good idea, but if you lack here, your channel will shrink in viewership. People who do that have teams of people to help them. Wake wise choices, keep your career going with what's working, even if it's boring. Plenty of people do the same job for 50 years. Consider yourself lucky it's Pokemon and not something like kaizo Mario 😅
You could’ve said “I can understand being mad about this but I don’t care” and I would’ve literally agreed lol. This challenge is no joke and you did most no hiccups
I initially had "I can understand being mad about this but get a f**king life" in the script but I didn't wanna be that rude lmao
@@ChaoticMeatballTVanyone who gets mad at the mistake can do their own franchise nuzlocke if they think they could do better
@chaotic also must of us would let Dialga slide tbh because even as a mainline game is the least impactful but important not to drop the ball too
2:32 oh my god, that’s my favourite game!!! I hope the gen 5 remakes do a similar style
Edit: made this comment before you had a slight rant about playing other games. I would love to see a second channel with non-pokemon challenges
Are they really ultra rare or are you just getting ridiculously lucky?
Melli's a dude
No game is superior to Pokemon, nor will any future ones ever be. It got me through some tough crap as a kid.
The compromise ideas ive come up with if he ever wants to circle back to the challenge, replay platinum with same team, just swap in gardevior there so you don’t have to redo PLA, or just solo platinum with gardevior, but if he doesn’t want to replay, then no need for it
Why is this guy mad that his Pokémon content is popular? He chose to make Pokémon content, nobody forced him to.
No problem if he decided to make different videos on things he’s more passionate about & finds more fulfilling (while simultaneously understanding that the fan base for whatever new venture might not be as big or marketable as Pokemon).
But hearing him whine about the kind of people watching & supporting his content is just pathetic & hypocritical.
I'm not mad my Pokemon content is popular, I just don't understand why it seems the majority of Pokemon fans are unwilling to touch other games. At least from the reactions I've had with other viewers as well as my occasional non-Pokemon videos, they do horribly in comparison because people are like "this isn't Pokemon therefore it is bad" and it makes zero sense.
@@ChaoticMeatballTVbelittling and insulting your viewers hypothetical taste is a great way to lose viewers. Most pokemon fans definitely play other games, they probably just don’t like your attitude and personality enough to watch your other videos.
@@ChaoticMeatballTV I don't think you should lump in Pokemon fans as the ones who aren't playing other games. It's that most of the time because of the amount of content that's pokemon based content on this channel the viewers come for said pokemon content. It's the same way with Twitch. Streamers who stream one game a ton will not get nearly as much viewers when they stream another game because they've established themselves as a "[insert game/franchise] content creator" not a variety content creator. I've seen partnered streamers who normally stream to thousands of people have viewer numbers drop down to like 20-30 viewers by switching to a different game. It has next to nothing to do with the kind of content your viewers PLAY but what they COME to you to WATCH because of the content you do a lot.
16:30 I really enjoyed that castlevania video you did and was hoping to see others like it such as a megaman zero 1 no cyber elf deathless challenge.
I know it’s not all that important, but Melli is a guy lol
You won 5 vs 8 with no palkia/dialga. That more than makes up for having the lesser raltz evolution in your early game.
I know melli has luscious locks, but he is a boy :) just a small nitpick. also i will support sneaseler forever. its kinda goofy but i like it more than weavile
It’s funny, while I still consider myself mostly narrow, I do play indies fairly often. Most recent one is Rain World. It even showed up in a dream last night after I saw someone posting rain world art.
I always watched your videos from this series when I was shiny hunting. I started hunting for Incineroar like 20mins ago. You released the video perfectly ^^
mistakes happen, Im not bent out of shape about it. This was an incredible video, thank you for continuing with this series!
The real reason Meatball stopped for a while was because 69 deaths was too funny to him. Glad this is back.
The mixup is actually fine, Gallades foghting STAB only seemed to matter like, once. And you had a full team at that point
I originally clicked the first video in this series to see IF this challenge is possible, and so far I'm not bothered.
While I completely agree with you not redoing the run because of the Gallade mistake, I do think it might be interesting if you let the fans decide a "punishment" for the last few games as a way to make things more interesting. Maybe a community vote to get rid of a viable encounter in one of the upcoming games, or maybe something like a self-imposed rule of 1 level below the level cap to make things a bit more challenging? Regardless, great video and keep it up, you're almost at the finish line!
You opened Noble Victories as a kid!!!!! Dang I'm old. I was an adult when that set came out.
Wait, didn't you use Galide in the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum run?
yes he did
Man. This game is an absolute masterpiece.
Super enjoying the series BTW thank you for this idea
So there isn't going to be any more Professor Oak's challenges on your TH-cam channel anymore? or will those streams be edited for your channel? haha just curious
They'd of course be edited for the TH-cam channel, this would just be me sitting on stream for like 15-16 hours a day banging them all out as much as possible with chat sitting there making fun of me the entire time lol
With the misfortune sister 3 battle there is a way to change ur lead with ur team on the bottom right u can change it with the L and R when ur in the battle changes the lead in the next battle
if anybody is mad abt the gallade mistake, go do it urself with no mistakes then come back. did y'all really think he was gonna do a challenge this tough and NEVER slip up once, honestly it's insane u lasted all the way til PLA without fucking up.
100% suggest adding a 2nd non pokemon channel.
I believe the algorithm hurts that too
This is the 2nd to last game in the series, you accidentally reusing a single Pokemon at this point is fine imo. Surprised it took this long to make a mistake like this lmao
For a challenge you could do a ding dong lock made by Mr ding dong games it bands setup moves and static/gift Pokemon with the exception of the starter
You’re allowed to like this comment if you’ve been waiting to watch the franchiselock since it started what was it over 2 years ago now? Congrats brother
How did bro have so much stuff at 5:39
I saw those shinys in your boxes!
Like many here in the comments, I'm not sure how to feel about you bashing people for watching specific content that you yourself have built your channel up with. Based on the thousands and thousands of view difference between most of the Nuzlock videos and the Castlevania video, I'm willing to bet that the lack of viewership cannot just be accounted for by "Pokemon fans not opening their mind to new content," that big of a view difference makes me think that you don't have subscriber base that makes up the majority of your videos, but rather a few loyal subscribers, but mostly just algorithm hoppers that see "Nuzlock" and click on the video, and that Castlevania video didn't have that appeal and probably didn't ride the algorithm either. I think it's a really good idea to make a second channel as I've heard that TH-cam penalizes channels for uploading very different kinds of content to the same one, so I'm all for that idea. I do like your video style, and for what it's worth I thought that the Castlevania video was really good, but I doubt that telling people to go watch it with scorn is going to fix the lack of viewership you're struggling with in variety content.
I never realized that space time distortions abbreviates to std
You know Melli is a guy right?
9:40 I mean, it wouldn't be the first time GF did that.
dude id totally sub to a non pokemon channel, it always sucks when i see pokemon youtubers make non pokemon videos that end up failing because those are usually my favorites on their channel.
fail? U just happen to use the records of yourself from an alternate universe. This sort of things happens from time to timo no worries =)
mistakes happen. Still enjoyed the video and the series. good job on it
Meatball I would most definitely watch you play the Final Fantasy games for sure these new pokefans dont even know what they’re missing out on
remember when you cheated in your pokemon white no damage run
What is Gallade really than a physical Guardavoir with an edgy helmet?
platinummmm yeahhhh!!!!!!!
Fun fact, you actually can change your lead Pokemon for gauntlets if you select the Pokemon you want to send out in the bottom right menu with L or R prior to the end of the first battle.
16:23 dude, complaining about the people who watch your Pokémon videos is not a good way to get people to watch your other videos. It’s really annoying how much complaining you do in these nuzlocke videos. Like yeah I know these games are flawed & there’s tons of stuff to genuinely criticize, but people come here to watch how you navigate and strategize through a challenge, not to hear you bitching about the game that *you* decided to play.
Also, Melli is a guy.
THIS, thank you!!
I agree. I love the concept of this challenge run and would love to see it finished out, but every video has become harder and harder to watch, to the point that I have to mute him just to stand it.
There has been so much negativity, so much bashing of the franchise, the game he's playing, and the people enjoying it. Not to mention all the unnecessary sex talk in each video.
I was a long time subscriber and I'm not any more after how awful he was in the sun and moon runs. Once Scarlet and Violet finish up, I'm sorry to say I'm out. The Castlevania video sounded impressive, but after that rant and everything else there's no way I would take the time to watch it when there are other creators making similar videos who aren't nearly as negative.
Part of the issue is not that we don't play other games but me personally I have content creators I watch for specific things
Almost done. We’re approaching the end to a long series of setup sweeps
drag him
It'd be more interesting if he banned setup moves at a minimum. With them you know it's just gonna be setup spam. It's a foregone conclusion, that's why I don't even use them for casual playthroughs XD.
Such an awesome and well done series, but ya.. way too many set up sweeps really take the air out of the end of videos
Then you do it and post it
@@TheRyanzeegers shoot I’d love to 😂 maybe I will. Fr though I’m not trying to hate I did watch the whole series and have loved it
I've been really enjoying your series up until this point, but i must admit it felt disrespectful to your viewers when you started ranting about how "pokemon fans can't branch out and enjoy other games" and how "theres much better games out there". I understand that you might enjoy other series more, but it kinda stung being talked down to by a creator i enjoy watching, and turned me off from watching the rest of the video.
Being stuck in a niche you don't enjoy being in sucks, and i hope you manage to find success creating videos you enjoy creating.
Mistake is a mistake, it's fine! Awesome running line of videos.
Also, I think the second channel is a good idea!
I get your point, Pokémon isn’t the end all be all. Trust me, I’m well aware. I love personal 5, just beat Mario wonder too. But hearing you trash a game series I already know has issues isn’t what I came for in the video man. Come on.
Long-time viewer. Appreciate the content you make. I find it very entertaining seeing you complete these challenges. That said, and while I understand these are your videos and you can do what you want, a little constructive criticism - the mini-rants you go on regarding topics like Pokémon design or flawed game mechanics or (in the case of this video) the supposed inability of Pokémon players to branch into other game titles kind of detracts from the watchability of your videos. Just a friendly suggestion; please don’t take this as a personal attack against you or your creative liberties.
ive seen several takes on this same idea, you are the one that has structured it in the most constructive way, congrats to you fella
They REALLY need to make a legends 2. Maybe a “Legends Celebi” or something
That will happen when Lets Go Mareep & Wooper come out
Any legends game has insane potential tbh, Me personally would always have Legends Kyurem at #1 because we can see the 2 brothers that fought and the "original dragon." It would be so cool to see the main dragon, and seperate seeing the 3 that we have now
@@Tenzsei the original separated into 3
That is legit what they said @@malcomstringer4619
Both the Lets Go series and Legends would make for nye perfect sequels. The gen 2 Pokedex is far weaker than gen 1's both in availability and Pokemon strength, so a mechanically basic version with denser routes would work way better than it did in Kanto. If they do a Legends sequel, I really hope the rebalance how many aggressive Pokemon you find in each region because spending 80% of your time running away from Pokemon after the first area gets pretty annoying after awhile, that and auto aggro after it breaks a ball regardless of how far away you are
Was really enjoying this video/series and would have branched into your other content but I didn’t even finish this video as you just complain and hate so much I’m here for entertainment not to hear you constantly trash on the game I’m here to watch you play.
The problem is, when you build most of your channel on one game/franchise. You're gonna have a rough time when you deviate from that series. I enjoy variety content, but if you don't build your channel on that, your other videos aren't gonna hit as hard.
Same thing happened to a MOBA content creator I watch, he tried doing balders gate 3 content and it didn't do very well
Not only that, TH-cam won't even push other content. I didn't even know about the other videos, because despite being subscribed, TH-cam only pushes this run to me. So yeah, sure, I could go fishing through a content creators, backlog of videos if I really wanted to, or I can keep scrolling my feet and find stuff that I'm going to enjoy nine times out of 10. As much hate as I give the system, it does work.
@@blackmoon8459I'm subbed with notifs and didn't know. Tho I'm thinking I should unsub now.
Chaotic complaining people don't watch his Castlevania video because Pokemon fans aren't interested is funny considering TH-cam pushes videos related to videos you are interested in
@CosmicUniverseOfficial00 he's right actually. That video isn't pushed by youtube at all because the pokemon audience that surround his channel aren't interested in anything else
@@arianagrandefromfortniteomg a Channel almost entirely dedicated to Pokémon gains a Pokémon fan base and then gets surprised when said Pokémon fanbase chooses to watch Pokémon 😮
I'm gonna be real, the reason I personally prefer the Pokemon content is because I don't personally care to play games that are super challenging. I don't think I'd bother playing a lot of the more "complex" RPGs unless they were specifically compelling to me in a personal way. It's not that I haven't played any, but Pokemon is simple and that's a positive thing for me. I don't play games for challenge, period. I play them because they're enjoyable. For some, of course, that may make it boring for them, and that's okay. But I'm more likely to watch a Pokemon video because it's familiar, and I don't really find myself needing other games (or content about them) a lot of the time. There is so much going on in my IRL that any advice to "play other games because they are better and more challenging" is just a reason for me to NOT play them.
That said, I do really enjoy this series and the other videos I've seen from you, so I don't mean to be rude in any way. I just hope this perspective can be helpful in understanding why some people do prefer the Pokemon content. And of course, I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure that there's at least a handful of others who may share a similar sentiment. Just my two cents anyway.
ur two cents are very fkn boring.
I agree. Pokémon has a large fan base because people can have different reasons to enjoy it. Some can use it as a gateway to turn-based RPGs, sure. But there others who don’t want that. I like exploring and discovering new Pokémon (or new uses for the Pokémon) that grow the dex. I have a friend that loves to team build even if he doesn’t really do anything with them, and I know someone else who likes to collect Pokémon. You are certainly not alone in enjoying Pokémon but not looking for a more “complex RPG.”
I'm sure a lot of your irritation at your non-Pokemon videos having lower views should be directed at TH-cam's algorithms, not actually at your audience.
Honestly parts of this video were such a drag to watch. You don't like the games and you don't like your audience...? I know you don't owe us lies but you have to see that we don't really want to hear you complaining all the time, right?
16:11
You have a serious attitude problem. I understand it's frustrating when videos you put passion into just don't perform the same as these, but you made the decision to come up with a very cool concept in the franchiselocke and play 37 Pokemon games. You built a fanbase and it honestly feels like disrespect to sit here and complain about us "not liking other games" WHICH ISN'T EVEN TRUE! For a lot of people, pokemon isn't an obsession, just a comforting franchise we can run to when we are not playing things such as multiplayer games, online games, or more darker toned single player experiences, so yes, nobody watched your video, but also if you built up that fanbase over time you could post most contant for anything and people would watch. Instead you chose to sit here and complain through game after game, honestly it's sad because there's one episode left and I'm not gonna be there now. You complain and complain, but also choose to be in this situation! Like of course USUM is going to be a slog, every battle you sit there and use 12-18 boost moves before attacking. Figure out what YOU want to do, and stick to it, I'm sure your a great guy but me and a lot of others don't want to hear a grown man complain about semi-loyal fans or games intended for children on the internet
I've quite enjoyed your content. I love Pokemon, and I agree with you that there's a bunch of better games/franchises better than Pokemon, but calling out Pokemon fans for watching Pokemon videos on a mostly Pokemon channel doesn't make much sense to me. Yeah maybe putting them on another channel might be your best bet. If you don't like making the Pokemon content, then move on. But being upset that people are watching the Pokemon content doesn't make sense to me
Exactly he's not complaining so much when the youtube paycheck comes in. Want to try go get a job like the rest of us
My guy, just because people don't watch some of your non Pokémon content doesn't mean we don't play anything else...
Seriously this. Honestly I was watching because of the cool format, but the guy’s holier-than-thou/entitled attitude is really off-putting.
There are plenty of Pokémon fans who play other games, sometimes even more so than Pokémon.
Literally stopped watching because of that ridiculous rant.
Yeah, I unsubbed from him because of this rant. I play other games, just not ones like Octopath or Persona (more like GTA, Fallout, No Man's Sky, ESO, 7 Days to Die, Forza, etc). But also, like, sorry if Pokemon happens to be the most popular and highest grossing franchise ever (which doesn't that mean it's technically the superior franchise?). Guy doesn't have to make Pokemon content if he doesn't like how popular Pokemon is.
lost my sub too, no wonder his content dies here. also @chaotic meatball, add the mareep death to the counter. it’s been like a year
@@topleft36same. It was fun up until that
I quit half way through it, man, don't blame pokemon players because your videos didn't reach a demographic. And yeah, we play other stuff, we just like pokemon
Going on the "i wish pokemon fans played other game" tangent really soured the video for me. I understand that you're getting burnt out on this franchise but that was kinda condescending of you. I thought this was a pokemon channel at first which is why I watched only the pokemon/nuzlocke content.
Honestly I do think a separate channel where you do non-pokemon stuff would be smart. Maybe plug it at the end of each vid.
ngl if you think like that about Liligant, that's on you imo
I think a fair "Punishment" for using Gallade was the fact that you didn't use Palkia.
It isn't a problem that gallade was used again. He really didn't make much of an impact tbh. Thanks so much for these videos. They are amazing.
Imagine starting a TH-cam channel dedicated to Pokemon, building an audience of Pokemon fans, and then complaining that your non-Pokemon content isn't as popular among your audience of Pokemon fans. It'd be like if the NFL Network started showing baseball games and then got confused about the decline in viewership. Turns out, when people go to a Pokemon focused TH-cam channel, they want to watch Pokemon. Who could've guessed!?
I subscribe to all sorts of channels, and I subscribe to those channels because of the content they produce. If, for example, a true crime channel I watch started posting Pokemon challenges, I probably wouldn't watch considering that isn't what I came for and it doesn't fit. Making a new channel for your other videos is probably a much better idea than trying to jam those videos on your channel that has been primarily Pokemon based since the start.
Blaming your audience and insulting them for not watching your other videos when you built your audience out of people who want to watch pokemon challenges, on a platform that will actively not push any of yoru content if it deviates from the norm, is kind of... yeah. No. That's just a gross mindset, and a good way to get folks to no longer want to watch your content if you think about your audience that way. Please be better than that.
OK, I read the comments and thought "eh, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt".
Then realised... nope, it was extremely misguided to be so critical and in all honesty, presumptuous.
Bit daft to criticise the very people watching your content. But you do you, I guess.
15:23 Melli's a dude lmao
Complains about views, says sorry for complaining proceeds to complain more. Aight I'm out.
I'm more complaining about people's unwillingness to try new stuff. The world of video games is insanely huge and it should be my sworn duty to tell people about Ys 1 & 2 for the Turbografx-16 lol
@@ChaoticMeatballTVit’s because your personality is not good enough for people to want to watch you play other games
@@ChaoticMeatballTV You make pokemon nuzlockes, that drew people in to watch YOU for those. I guarantee every single one of your fans plays other games and watch other creators for other games. You made ONE other nuzlocke of a different game that didn’t do well then complained about your audience. That is sure (and I’ve seen a lot of comments) to make your audience leave. There are many other nuzlockers out there that you are competing against and complaining won’t get you subscribers
@@ChaoticMeatballTVI mean I don’t think the problem is Pokémon fans as a whole. I think that the problem is the type of game that you branched out to. I play Pokémon with my friends all the time but I also play other games as well. It’s pretty obvious that someone who likes monster catching games wouldn’t want to play a fantasy rpg. I watched your castlevania one and love the game, but even though I’ve played Castlevania, I don’t like watching it because it’s a hard game to make entertaining. I even watch games that I don’t play cause I want to see if it’s worth my money. Think of MahDryBread, I never get recommended his non-Pokémon ones and they get a fraction of the views his Pokémon ones get, but they’re fun for him and he enjoys playing them on his channel. Not hating just giving my two sense, Idk man just make what you like and I’ll see if I like it too.
Look dude if you aren't happy playing Pokémon games as a profession anymore why not call it a day and move on to other things or go out and find a job offline like the rest of us..
Most of us chose to watch Pokémon challenge runs because we like watching Pokémon challenge runs.
Talking down to your audience about how we dont like the alternative stuff you like isn't exactly a good way to engage with us and its coming across like you think we're all too stupid to get into other game series?
I get theres a lot of pressure to keep releasing content as part of your job but that's how it is for all of us going to work every day and only getting to play these games or watch TH-cam videos in our spare time to then hear the constant complaining is just exhausting.
Plenty of pokemon fans play other games. I enjoy listening to people do challenge runs.
Crazy how this nuzlocke is still going but ever step is just so great to follow along.
Can't wait to see the latest game to see it all again
probably why the series is doing well as you can't just watch 1 of them
Just because I lack interest in Metroidvania type games doesn't mean I don't play or watch videos about anything other then Pokemon. Heck I was just watching someone do Persona 5 Royal challenge runs yesterday and I've been obsessively playing Baldurs Gate 3 and Persona 3 Reload recently. Maybe try a challenge run of something that falls a bit closer to your audience next time... like another RPG.
Meatball, you should take a break from pokemon. You don't seem as happy as you once were.
Oh I'm MUCH happier than I was at the beginning of this year. I'm not saying I dislike Pokemon or anything, I would just like to use my platform to help expand other people's gaming horizons even if it's mostly in a joking way.
Guilt tripping your audience for not watching videos about challenges you, a pokemon channel, do in games that are completely different genres for 2 minutes was pretty poor taste.
im not a huge rpg fan. pokemon is the exception as comfort food for me. sorry, ima stay here. Best of luck in drawing in a wider fanbase!
I do play games with better story than pokemon, but here's the thing, I don't usually watch other people play those games. Pokemon has never had less than 12000000000000 possible party compositions by species alone. Literally every challenge is unique. There are usually only as many as a few thousand controlable playthrough variables total in other RPGs (basically as many as a single fixed party in pokemon). Fun to play, sometimes even 2 or 3 times, but not enough variability to experience it hundreds of times via youtube videos.
Why do you feel the need to always be so negative? I love the idea of this franchise, and I’ve been quite invested. But I unsubscribed and quit watching everything else because no matter what you make you’re so overbearingly negative.
Of course Pokémon fans play other games, what you’re complaining about is the algorithm showing you to people who want to watch Pokemon challenges.
17:32 Yeah, I'm sure all those games are great, but I'm playing Pokémon for the Pokémon, not for a good RPG.
1:20 I mean, those games are peak Pokémon to me so I’m glad you included them. Those are games I can nerd out about for days without stopping.
Your fans are not to blame for you not getting views on the content you make, be it pokemon or whatever other franchise. If it were content worth watching, people would. You should always look towards yourself. For example, I personally feel that not holding yourself up to standard as you realised at 38:04 is one reason why you could be stagnating
Honestly misgendering Meeli and the weird liligant comment annoyed me way more than any of the actual complaints about the game
With like… your Pokémon rant the main problem is this: none of the games you listed are creature collector games, for lack of a better word to describe pokemon.
Like I enjoy Live a Live and other more complex turn based jrpgs, but if I want something simple on catching and battling monsters, the main options you’ve got are Pokémon, Digimon, TemTem, Nexomon and Casette Beasts. The options are extraordinarily slim due to Pokémon’s massive grip on the genre as a whole. While it’s diversified more in recent years, the main one here if I want a team of monsters I catch, train and battle is Pokémon.
If I go to a restruant, and I’m craving chicken and the only chicken dish they have is chicken nuggets I’ll order that. I’d love to have some chicken parm or another chicken dish but all they have is nuggets so that’s what I’ll get because it’s my only option. The restaurant could have some great alligator dishes and I’m told to try it it tastes close enough to chicken, but I came here for chicken. That’s the problem with creature collectors vs wider more complex jrpgs. Sure they may have shared elements but fundamentally they are two different gaming genres.
So for people who want more from Pokémon while still having a creature collector: try Digimon Cyber Sleuth/Hackers Memory or Casette Beasts. They’re in the same genre but the stories and mechanics have more depth that people want from Pokémon.
Monster collecting is a whole genre that has more than what you listed, but unfortunately it's not as accessible outside of Japan, or when it is, it's not well-known at all--especially some of the older ones, as it seems younger people just don't know what's existed in decades past. ChaoticMeatball talking about how FireRed was his first game and he was only 3 years old made me realize just how young he still is. The franchise is older than he is. I was playing Pokemon for years before he was even born. I also was aware of and/or played other things like Dragon Warrior Monsters (now Dragon Quest Monsters) and Monster Rancher 4. I've also played and enjoy plenty of other RPGs. I still come back to Pokemon time and again because I genuinely like it. I watch Pokemon videos because I genuinely like those. His rant about his numbers doesn't make much sense to me because like, I'll seek out other videos of other games I like, but if I follow a channel that's built largely on one thing, it's because I want to see that thing. If they post something else seemingly at random, yeah, I'm probably not going to watch it because that's not what I signed up for. It'd be like if I turned on Food Network and inbetween their typical programming, they put in some animal documentary. I like those and watch them all the time, but it's not what I turned Food Network on for. Same idea really. Not sure why he doesn't seem to understand that.
id highly recommend checking out Monster Sanctuary too. its like a monster collector, turn-based rpg, and metroidvania had a beautiful baby.
Wowee, Gardevoir sure did great this game.
Also, if you plan to get the Path of Solitude as part of your Oak's Challenge (since you do get a stamp in the dex for each Pokemon that clears it), I wish you the best of luck. Path of Solitude for every mon takes SO long.
You’re good man. Had to happen eventually.
Run was still fun as hell. Gallade didn’t do a ton anyways.
People forget this challenge is for fuuuuun.
Good on you for admitting it and I can’t wait to see the series finale in Paldea.
