Try a type-lock in each generation. Pick one type to use across the whole thing. Or maybe just a generation then pick a different type for a different generation. For example fire type in gen 1, how hard would it be? Or normal type in gen 4. Something like that.
We are going to *need* a recap video of the entire run! I want to hear best/worst lists, most clutch performances, most hilarious moments, and things you would change if you did it over again! This can feed your content for a long time after it’s over and we will eat it up
PLA is gonna be interesting. Because there’s only like 6 mandatory battles, the only actually tense moment is Volo, but that one moment will easily be the most tense moment of the whole series
Reminds me of how you can defeat Volo and Giratina with a single fast Weavile. I think you can find that on youtube too. Litterally the meme fast boi vs god lol
@@soupsoup4539 normally, I’d agree saying that’s the true ending to PLA and everything else is postgame, but meatball mentioned fighting Volo in this vid and has separate colors for rather or not Volo was beaten in his mono-type hardcore nuzlockes chart
It actually makes sense Barry didnt evolve his pokemon. He's so impatient I bet he keeps pressing B to speed through text, hence preventing evolution :P
Old man chaotic meatball: ok viewers. Watch me beat Pokemon ultra deluxe red crimson burning remake X 7 by using this new evolution line by raising my pokemon sideways on a Wednesday
@@ChaoticMeatballTVI was expecting the fact it was a red remake to be the thing. Don't worry I'm sure legends Lugia the prequel sequel shadow Lugia dlc will be just the thing
Honestly, I think doing it again in reverse order (starting with Scarlet and Violet and ending with Red/Blue) would also be equally interesting even if that means you have to play through the Alolan games again.
Should throw in "no items in battle, including held items". It has to be a little different. Probably also require beating post-game/DLC story too. No TMs or Grand Underground for bonus points
I would be surprised if he does this again just from how long its taken to get to this point. While I'm sure some games are more fun then others it does seem like its been limiting the kind of videos he has time to make since these take a lot of time.
Scizor before the second gym is absurdly crazy. I know it would've been way too strong but Manaphy & Jirachi could've been used before the second gym. In SW/SH due to the DLC one could have a bunch of legends before the first gym. Shame Jynx didn't get an evolution though Magmar & Electabuzz. I presume due to the Jynx controversy it didn't get an evolution though Porygon got 2 by Gen 4
Good to see someone else using Lumineon. that fish did some great work for me in my Water monotype Ultra Moon playthrough. Maybe its bug relationship will pay off in the future with Quiver Dance, but for now, U-turn on a Water type is real nice
To continue with your Power Rangers questions, I've always wondered, in one episode Kimberly tells the new Rangers that they're on call 24 hours a day but for some reason none of the villains ever attacked at night or during school hours. Sure was awful considerate of them. Even if you take into account that they might need sleep as well, Lord Zedd only needed to sleep once every century so he could have attacked whenever he wanted to.
My head canon for the power rangers question is that would require the use of human made guns and they wouldn't lower themselves to do so. Hence every plan uses their own magic powers, not technology.
I think it's more of a pride thing. They don't want them dead they want them defeated so they can gloat about it. It's also why some bad guys double cross each other cause they want to be the one to defeat the Rangers.
Funny story: As a kid playing diamond, I hated how useless the companions' pokemons were during the double battles. They only healed and never did any damage to the enemy. Eventually, I realized that their second pokemons were always stronger (for kid me stronger = attack). So, whenever I had a partner in a double batter, the first pokemon I KO would be my friend's...
Anyone else think that the female Ace Trainer in Gen. 4 (Mainly Sinnoh) is one of the peak design of this given trainer class? Especially with the 3D model of her here in BDSP. Gen. 5, Gen. 6 (X/Y), and Gen. 7 (Alola) are all tied in a close 2nd. With Kanto & Johto in third, and Galar & Paldea in 4th.
I knew that the two Route 1 Pokemon of Sinnoh would be the starters for this part. XD Good luck and here's to the home stretch of Arceus, Scarlet and Violet. Hopefully you'll finish the Franchiselocke before Christmas. It's been a long two years but I am glad you did this, because it was a nice way to give battle experience to crappy Pokemon that nobody ever uses casually. ^_^
Ah, BDSP. Brings back the memories of spinning in a circle to get my Buneary to evolve long enough to watch revenge of the sith in it's intirety and that still being the most fun I had in this game.
@@potitishogun2961997I mean when there’s probably (you never got this from me) sites that have the original games for free and the fact the older players said the were disappointed in this “remake” yeah let’s just say not worth 60 dollars if they did platinum style instead of diamond and pearl people would’ve agreed and said take my money for this it’s don’t take my money heck sword and shield has earned more money and people say they’re lazy and empty games
That depends on what you plan to do with the game. If you value completing Pokémon home more easily without needing to play a Johto game more than once, it’s great!
How about sub-450 BST monotypes? Surely they would pose a fun and unique challenge instead of causing the immense pain and agony that limited options usually give!
Starterlocke challenges would be cool. Either each regions 3 starters speedrunning something like Kanto or Hoenn(just for lack of story time) or a team of fire starters grass and water all trying to beat a game as fast as possible in a nuzlocke setting would be unique
Okay here's a suggestion for a challenge so stupid it has to be attempted since it may actually be feasible. I made it up the other week and beat it in two days in LeafGreen but let's see if you can do it. PrimeLocke. Beat the game using only prime-numbered Pokedex entries in battle. This applies either to the full regional dex of the game you're playing OR the National Dex, but not both at the same time. Pick a game and let 'er rip. Just to see what happens. For the record my final team in LeafGreen was Venusaur, Electrode, Dragonite, Umbreon, Slowking, and Nidoqueen. Yes I enabled postgame evolutions early, no it did not make things any easier.
@@ChaoticMeatballTV I actually came up and beat my challenge a few weeks before that video game out. Mono-Prime on that game certainly seems up your alley but at the same time, to get used to the exact same set, why not consider the way I tried it? Either as a test run or its own challenge. Every game is doable with its local Dex by default, with maybe Kalos and Hisui doable with National. Orre and Johto as well, but I am slightly less confident. Doesn't make any of this easy but it should make it fun to teambuild moment to moment. Example: Beating Brock in LeafGreen with a Metapod, Weedle, and Rattata. Deathless. I had to do that in order to beat the challenge. It was the most satisfying Badge I've ever received.
Been watching this from the beginning. One thing I'd be interested in knowing is 1) Who you would choose as the MVP of each team and 2) Which Pokémon was the biggest surprise for you?
You captured lightning-in-a-bottle with this series I have no idea how you follow this up I just didn't watch any of your videos until the series continues 😂
I've been binging your POCs and I'm not gonna lie it's been messing with my head switching back to the nuzlocking the franchise series. Loving the content, jumbled though my watchthrough may be.
I suggest you to do the type weakness challenge.😅😅 For example - you should defeat a water type gym with a team consisting only of fire/ground/rock types. You can change your team for every gym and for elite4/champion you should select the team which has most type weakness against the majority. Set your own rules to make it further hard .
So my room mate and I came up with a challenge that was fun but depending on the rule set could be hard or laughably easy. Basically you start a Pokémon game and you can only use normal type Pokémon and only one in the beginning , as you beat gyms you roll a random type and gain access to use Pokémon of that type but you can only have one of the given type in the party at a time. I have done this in gen 6 and Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl with level caps. I have not tried it in a Nuzlock setting.
A underrated challenge I would suggest, a extreme randomizer, which randomizer types, evolutions, and other encounters. No one does them any more and honestly I think on my main channel I'll pick them up when I have time
Crazy how my first time playing through the game, I beat it with mostly Houndoom setup leading to Houndoom also affection dodging Earthquake at the end. Such a good boi. Lol
I've tried out a number generator nuzlocke. Use a generator to decide a random pokemon from the pokedex and that's your encounter. Could be *any* pokemon in the dex. You'll use pokemon you'd never, ever consider otherwise!
I personally think that Barry's Pokemon being unevolved is meant to be a meta-joke about how he's always in a rush, and thus mashing B through all the screens to skip through the text faster...
It would be interesting to see this done with Drayano hacks, starting with Fire Red Omega ending with Rising Ruby Sinking Saphire. The encounter variety he adds plus the increased difficulty would add a spin to this. Or for a easier time. Pallet-lockes. Using teams bases on their pokedex color. All blue pokemon, all red ext.
HERE WE GOOOO strap in kids it's time for more pain, setup sweeps, and missed ranges with uncle Meatball. I get way too hyped when this series gets a new episode.
12:40 UHH ABSOLUTELY YOU HAD A COINFLIP CHANCE OF EVAPORATING YOURSELF THRICE AND YOU WENT FOR IT! Admittedly I can totally relate to your reasoning, and it definitely would not have ended your nuzlocke, but I’m still blown away.
Idea: restart the Nuzlocke of the entire franchise from the beginning while keeping the same chart of used Pokemon from this one, just to see how far you can go until you're finally unable to finish a game due to not having enough Pokemon left. Push yourself to your limits! (... that means giving yourself a starter among the very few things left in Kanto I guess)
16:00 As a major Power Rangers fan this got the best laugh out of me. Also I've thought about this too. We even see Baboo enter Trinis room while she is asleep. He could have killed her. Also Cosmic Fury was really good, hope you enjoy it.
I’ll probably be watching any challenge you end up doing, but after this series I would love to see the professor oak challenges return with fan games!
Gliscor, unappreciated? Its drifted between OU and Ubers since its introduction, and sits between the 25th and 16th MOST used mon in a generation, far from unappreciated. It was just national dex format only in SS, and everyone is jumping on the new hotness pokemon in S/V so it doesn't seem as popular as it actually is. That Houndoom affection clutch at the end was such a protagonist move, wow.
Personally I was inspired by your first few videos on this to do a version where I go through one of each major storyline while only battling with a Pikachu, since it's the mascot of Pokemon. It has its own rules, too, no EV training until the 5th Badge or 3rd Island in Alola, no healing items unless the opponent has them, no level cap because it's just a Pikachu, and its double battle teamate has to be signifigant (E.g Ash Cap Pikachu, Contest star Pikachu, a Shiny). Only the Emerald Pikachu can have Volt Tackle and only the Alola Pikachu can have Surf. The Rivals must have the starter hardest for Pikachu to beat, while also being named something to do with sand. The Trainer and Pikachu must have lightning themed names. The Pikachu must either be caught before the first badge or traded over as an Egg. You must always use the same gender character where applicable through all the games. You must defeat EVERY trainer in the game possible, and get every Ribbon possible on that Pikachu (With exceptions for the Battle Tree, Battle Maison, and other battle related Ribbons just not feasable for a Pikachu) including every Ribbon it can get by transferring it forward to later games. I do not consider PLA possible with just a single Pikachu. You also can't use the Partner Pikachu from Let's Go because it can't be transferred, and you don't need to heed the item rule when battling the evil team. The games I have it going in, planned or completed are Blue, Yellow, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Emerald, LeafGreen, Diamond, Platinum, SoulSilver, White, White2, Y, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Ultra Moon, Let's Go Eevee, Shield, Shining Pearl, and Violet. The hardest ones so far are Ruby and Emerald because you can't trade over a Pichu as an Egg and have to deal with a disobediant Pokemon, and if it doesn't evolve by a certain level you can't defeat Roxanne without trading over a TM.
Here's a series suggestion : Every generation +remake (but not every game) with, as much as possible, the same team, changing only one member each new game.
@kylehennkens9578 hence the stipulations of "as much as possible" and "every generation, not every game", thus giving the possibility of going for Black/White2 instead of 1.
Apologies if this has already been suggested but; A Nuzlocke where you are only allowed to have one type of each pokemon for the entire game. So if you choose Charmander as your starter, he is the only fire type you are allowed to have and as a fire type they are only allowed to have fire type moves. They CAN have normal type moves, such as tackle etc, but Normal type moves are the only exception to the rule. If a Pokemon has Dual Typing, you can either limit it to one type or use both. For example, if you pick Bulbasaur then he is either limited to having only Grass Moves, or limited to Poison Moves - but per the first rule you cannot catch another Grass type or Poison type depending on what you choose OR You allow Bulbasaur to have Poison AND Grass type moves, but you cannot catch another Grass type or Poison type.
I think a nuzlocke challenge using only serpent pokémon could be cool. You could use mons like Arbok, Gyarados, Dragonair, Steelix, Milotic, Seviper, Serperior, etc. Doesn't sound exactly hard since you have a lot of strong mons but it still sounds fun.
Y'know I'd be curious about you expanding the Professor Oak Challenge back into those custom region ROMhacks you did before, like Pokemon Brown and Prism, or whichever ones were linked like RBY and GSC were. Pokemon Sors seems like it'd be an idea, though I dunno how you'd feel about its storyline and badge beats. Good luck with the new series after this whatever you decide dude~
That ending was WTF. I was even wondering for a bit if you were sabotating yourself on purpose. After having rolled over the entirety of BD and 90% of SP I didn't expect you would come that close to losing the series HERE.
Don't you think I didn't catch that MJF reference while sitting here at my desk listening to this wearing my AEW Seattle TShirt from this past weekend!!!
You think barry has the patience to sit through an evo screen when he KNOWS he is about to get smacked? Dude doesnt have patience for anything, starly makes sense for him
My headcanon for why Barry evolves his pokemon so late, is that since he's always in such a rush and has no patience for dialogue, he's constantly mashing the B button so that he doesn't accidently talk to someone after a battle, and therefore, he cancels his pokemon's evolutions over-and-over again by accident until he calms down a little later in the story and actually let's the process happen.
Just binged the series again last night kinda glad to be early for once and I'll be able to see how much they patched the games since I dropped off on like 1.1 or something
Video suggestion: N's challenge, can only use pokemon caught on the previous route Expanded explanation: Just as N did in black and white you can only use pokemon that can be found on the nearby routes and in order to make this work its just the pokemon in between each level limit jump, this game doesn't have the only first pokemon pr route rule BUT any route already used before a gym leader is from then on LOCKED + any pokemon caught, used or unused, must be released (or forever boxed) after each gym and therefore some new routes must be used to catch pokemon, dudes is fine In essence its a cousin to your current challenge but still distinctly different in the sense that any resources spent on pokemon too early might be lost for later use if used too early (if its done in gen 1 to 4) I think thats all but there is room for fine tuning

16:00 As a major Power Rangers fan this got the best laugh out of me. Also I've thought about this too. We even see Baboo enter Trinis room while she is asleep. He could have killed her.
Also Cosmic Fury was really good, hope you enjoy it.
I believe the ice gym leaders name is "canned ice" or something like that.
I’ll probably be watching any challenge you end up doing, but after this series I would love to see the professor oak challenges return with fan games!
im so happy the balalalalalala sound is back that the beginning of the video it made me really happy :D
Wooo new meatball video, gonna be sad once the series ends it’s getting so close!
Gliscor, unappreciated? Its drifted between OU and Ubers since its introduction, and sits between the 25th and 16th MOST used mon in a generation, far from unappreciated. It was just national dex format only in SS, and everyone is jumping on the new hotness pokemon in S/V so it doesn't seem as popular as it actually is.
That Houndoom affection clutch at the end was such a protagonist move, wow.
Personally I was inspired by your first few videos on this to do a version where I go through one of each major storyline while only battling with a Pikachu, since it's the mascot of Pokemon. It has its own rules, too, no EV training until the 5th Badge or 3rd Island in Alola, no healing items unless the opponent has them, no level cap because it's just a Pikachu, and its double battle teamate has to be signifigant (E.g Ash Cap Pikachu, Contest star Pikachu, a Shiny). Only the Emerald Pikachu can have Volt Tackle and only the Alola Pikachu can have Surf. The Rivals must have the starter hardest for Pikachu to beat, while also being named something to do with sand. The Trainer and Pikachu must have lightning themed names. The Pikachu must either be caught before the first badge or traded over as an Egg. You must always use the same gender character where applicable through all the games. You must defeat EVERY trainer in the game possible, and get every Ribbon possible on that Pikachu (With exceptions for the Battle Tree, Battle Maison, and other battle related Ribbons just not feasable for a Pikachu) including every Ribbon it can get by transferring it forward to later games. I do not consider PLA possible with just a single Pikachu. You also can't use the Partner Pikachu from Let's Go because it can't be transferred, and you don't need to heed the item rule when battling the evil team.
The games I have it going in, planned or completed are Blue, Yellow, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Emerald, LeafGreen, Diamond, Platinum, SoulSilver, White, White2, Y, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Ultra Moon, Let's Go Eevee, Shield, Shining Pearl, and Violet. The hardest ones so far are Ruby and Emerald because you can't trade over a Pichu as an Egg and have to deal with a disobediant Pokemon, and if it doesn't evolve by a certain level you can't defeat Roxanne without trading over a TM.
Absolutely loved that solid reference near the beginning of brilliant diamond. That had me laughing so hard.
Here's a series suggestion :
Every generation +remake (but not every game) with, as much as possible, the same team, changing only one member each new game.
That series would hard-stop at Gen V, non-Unovan Pokemon don't exist until the post-game
@kylehennkens9578 hence the stipulations of "as much as possible" and "every generation, not every game", thus giving the possibility of going for Black/White2 instead of 1.
I love how Piplup is named NO!
Apologies if this has already been suggested but;
A Nuzlocke where you are only allowed to have one type of each pokemon for the entire game. So if you choose Charmander as your starter, he is the only fire type you are allowed to have and as a fire type they are only allowed to have fire type moves.
They CAN have normal type moves, such as tackle etc, but Normal type moves are the only exception to the rule.
If a Pokemon has Dual Typing, you can either limit it to one type or use both. For example, if you pick Bulbasaur then he is either limited to having only Grass Moves, or limited to Poison Moves - but per the first rule you cannot catch another Grass type or Poison type depending on what you choose
OR
You allow Bulbasaur to have Poison AND Grass type moves, but you cannot catch another Grass type or Poison type.
That close call with Cynthia had me on the edge of my seat, I was sure we were going to see a wipe!
28:30 Mirror Move does NOT work agains dark types
It works like a regular Psychic move with negative priority
I think a nuzlocke challenge using only serpent pokémon could be cool. You could use mons like Arbok, Gyarados, Dragonair, Steelix, Milotic, Seviper, Serperior, etc. Doesn't sound exactly hard since you have a lot of strong mons but it still sounds fun.
THE ZERO-LIMB CHALLENGE
You did a really good Alpha impression.
Houndoom the actual ANGEL coming down and saving the run
I'm actually so happy legends arceus gets it's own video
Just continue that unique hardcore nuzlocke series. Those vids are fun
What the hell is happening to the script this time around, Jesus
26:23 That sped-up Mr. Mime do be vibin' tho.
this ending felt like watching yugi cheat his way to win a duel lmao
Wow this last fight... You really could have used a Focus Sash in that dog.
How about a nuzlocke with only mono-types (as in, pokemon with only a single type as opposed to dual types)?
I like this idea, but I’ll toss in that you’re limited to two types per game. Randomize those types for added spice.
Wow lol I knew Aarantula for his Paper mario videos, but I had no clue he was your editor.😂
Y'know I'd be curious about you expanding the Professor Oak Challenge back into those custom region ROMhacks you did before, like Pokemon Brown and Prism, or whichever ones were linked like RBY and GSC were. Pokemon Sors seems like it'd be an idea, though I dunno how you'd feel about its storyline and badge beats. Good luck with the new series after this whatever you decide dude~
That ending was WTF. I was even wondering for a bit if you were sabotating yourself on purpose. After having rolled over the entirety of BD and 90% of SP I didn't expect you would come that close to losing the series HERE.
Don't you think I didn't catch that MJF reference while sitting here at my desk listening to this wearing my AEW Seattle TShirt from this past weekend!!!
My head cannon is the reason that Barry evolved his Pokémon late because he was too impatient to watch the evolution screen.
That champion room in speedup is reaaaaally messing up my eyes 😵💫 Otherwise great video! Almost there!
I love the Solid Snake skit. Also, you forgot Candice? (Sad music)
CANDICE NU--
0:40 wait why is Phantom A in there
As a Kansan, the waterfront property in Topeka is gold.
You think barry has the patience to sit through an evo screen when he KNOWS he is about to get smacked? Dude doesnt have patience for anything, starly makes sense for him
My headcanon for why Barry evolves his pokemon so late, is that since he's always in such a rush and has no patience for dialogue, he's constantly mashing the B button so that he doesn't accidently talk to someone after a battle, and therefore, he cancels his pokemon's evolutions over-and-over again by accident until he calms down a little later in the story and actually let's the process happen.
Would love to see a Platinum trade evolution only run (can fully evolve)
Just binged the series again last night kinda glad to be early for once and I'll be able to see how much they patched the games since I dropped off on like 1.1 or something
Video suggestion: N's challenge, can only use pokemon caught on the previous route
Expanded explanation:
Just as N did in black and white you can only use pokemon that can be found on the nearby routes and in order to make this work its just the pokemon in between each level limit jump, this game doesn't have the only first pokemon pr route rule BUT any route already used before a gym leader is from then on LOCKED + any pokemon caught, used or unused, must be released (or forever boxed) after each gym and therefore some new routes must be used to catch pokemon, dudes is fine
In essence its a cousin to your current challenge but still distinctly different in the sense that any resources spent on pokemon too early might be lost for later use if used too early (if its done in gen 1 to 4)
I think thats all but there is room for fine tuning
You should do the dlc parts as their own games for this challenge
I have a crazy one. One similar to this idea. Pokemon stadium 1-2 randomize nuzlocke vs the gym leaders
31:56 this choice makes it even more baffling for me that you used Ponyta for *platnium.*
You’ve gotten significantly more unhinged since starting this
After this you can do a nuzlocke of your favourite Pokémon game, with eggs of all the Pokémon you didn’t use, every route is a random egg
Here's an interesting request: Nuzlock Pokemon Stadium 1 with only rentals (Round 1 and 2)
43:29 But his hair's like, azure
Wow, that was CLOSE.
TOPEKA KANSAS MENTIONED
EDIT: THANK YOU HOUNDOOM
Per Barry not evolving his pokemon, i like to imagine those were just his faves and that's why he didnt evolve them until he absolutely had to.
Next idea for a challenge, hardcore nuzlocke, single type (your choice), no set up moves allowed
