Watching Alpha passive-aggressively rip into that one guy for being a douche about Kidd's achievements is very heartwarming. THIS is the type of person I aspire to be
I think the key word people miss from Karen’s quote is “trainers should *try* to win with their favorites”. Even if they’re not the strongest and even if you don’t win, you should still try since they’re your favorites. That’s why she says the quote when she loses. She tried and that’s what mattered. People take it out of context by saying that doing it with Pokémon other than the mainstream is the better way, but if your favorites happen to be OP, then those are your favorites and there’s nothing wrong with it. What matters is that you like them. My top 6 favorites in order are Dusknoir, Decidueye, Furret, Eelectross, Dewgong, and Snom. I probably wouldn’t win the Elite Four with them, but it’d be fun to try.
I think the problem with Claire's quote is really that it had to be put in a game setting If it were said in a purely story-driven medium you could do whatever you want with it But because it's in a game setting, yeah, you've got to work with pre-set statistics, every Pokemon has a maximum. You can do whatever you want with a 200 BST Pokemon within the confines of the game, Level 100, EV training, IV training, the best few of held items for it, all of the in-battle use items, and genius strategy Someone doing half of that work with a 500 BST Pokemon is going to bowl over you. That's just how it is.
I thought fir was memeing at first but the inclusion of obscure picks such as goodra, lugia, and especially shaymin, as well as the notable exclusion of gardevoir made me realize that, no, they really are doing that, and you know what? respect delphox > braixen though. that's just how it is
I think a Type Lock would be cool. Like, each person picks a type and every mon on the team has to be of that type in some way. And no other person can have the same main type
Fir is based, i share a lot of favorites with him (my top 3 are alolan ninetales, umbreon, ninetales) but for different reasons, i just love the girlypops
I admit I like a bunch of big, powerful Pokemon. Tyranitar, Hydreigon, Dragapult, Gardevoir... But I've always thought Legindaries come in too late and are lower level than my team at that point so I never really use them or bond with them.
Divide your favorites into parties that you use for different legs of the race. ie: team 1 for gyms 1-3, team 2 for gyms 4-6, team 3 for 7-elite four or something similar.
I like the look of your top 10 favourite pokemon list, glad to see we both love meloetta as well as gardevoir, there are some pokemon that i do like in that list but there are pokemon that i have a stronger love for over them.
there IS something to be said though about if a pokemon is ONLY your favorite due to its competitive viability or if you ONLY hate a pokemon due to how bad it is in comp. i'm not saying i want all weak pokemon to be good in comp, but that there is more to pokemon than if a pokemon IS viable or not and lots of times people's favorite pokemon do just so happen to only be based on their views on said pokemon's viability in gameplay.
It is fun but it is difficult to be honest with yourself. I had to keep editing it to be honest with myself about some pokemon that are powerful/cool, but I never actually use them.
As a die hard gen 1er that never really played past gen 3 Top 5: Snorlax, Tyranitar, Suicune, Umbreon, Articuno No confidence 6-10: Ursuring, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Gyrados, Nidoking
I love how everyone’s team has all these cool Pokemon, then there is some like Lotad. There’s always one Pokemon that is just out of place, like Joltik for Jaiden.
did the math and my top 30 had an average bst of 488, higher than alpha since I didn't have as many little guys. But the median was only 503 cause my favorite region is johto lol
Luckily, all my favorite pokemon are also powerful! My Paldea team was Ceruledge, Pawmot, Azumarill, Gardevoir, Garchomp, and the last slot was interchangable. Then when we got the expansion pack, I switched Gardevoir for Ribombee and Garchomp for Noivern. Ribombee is top tier. They have saved me in so many tough spots
I ask all Pokémon fans to chill out when it comes to favorite Pokémon. Can we not just assume that everyone who likes Gardevoir looks for Gardevoir p*rn? Maybe everyone is just joking when it comes to Vaporeon or whatever, but those jokes are dead, and they just make people feel like they're not allowed to like these cool, beautiful Pokémon.
Alpha's expressed, in the past, that he legit liked Vaporeon before the 4chan meme. So its unfortunate that people just immediately associate Vaporeon with that meme. Lucario's one of my favorites (specifically for how he plays in Smash Ultimate) but I know Pokemon fans would immediately be like, "Furry alert!"
8:35 Some of my favorites (I'm only half joking) Braixen, Lopunny, Meowscarada, Primarina, Gardevoir, Lucario That's a decent team, eh? I have Fire / Psychic, Water / Fairy, Grass, Psychic / Fairy, and Fighting / Steel. Some repetition with Psychic and Fairy but it's whatever I suppose I could think about using Hissuian Zoroark instead of Lopunny. Still Normal, but now with Ghost. Okay but in all seriousness. . . let's see. . what would my favorites be? Probably not in any particular order, really Charizard, Lucario, Infernape, Gardevoir, Alolan Raichu, Empoleon, Lopunny, Meowscarada, Gyarados, Meganium Alolan Ninetales, Braixen, Primarina, I'm trying to just do this off of the top of my head but I'm probably forgetting like 30 whole Pokemon I'd use, lol
My top 3 is Mega Mawile Delphox and Meowscarada and honestly based on competitive experience…Mega Mawile ALONE could prolly solo-most of if not entire games…if you add Garchomp Tinkaton and Mimikyu that team genuinely sweeps with 0 trouble.
Something like this would be a problem for me as all my favorite pokemon are bug types or look like they should be. I have beaten Moon with only bug types as a personal challenge but couldn’t do a nuzlocke with them
ralts scyther my 2 favorite pokemon including evolution line. Probly treeko next. When I am thinking of my favorite pokemon I think of the whole evolution chain.
he had already given up on trying to place in the race after Pixie won so he was just resetting because he wanted to see if he could even beat the E4 at all with the team he chose now that he couldn't win the race
My top three would be Mimikyu, Zorua, and Hisuian Zoroark. Two decent mons but some serious type overlap and Zorua's not great, so not a very good team I suspect. Top six doesn't get better because #4 is Joltik and #5 is Hisuian Zorua and #6 is either Torchic or Goomy or Gible and those don't have great stats to say the least
Here's my top 30, how would I do?: Top 3: Hydreigon, Mega Mawile, Hisuian Zoroark Unorder: Milotic, Serperior, Primarina Gastrodon, Talonflame, Ceruledge Cinccino, Mimikyu, Misdreavus Mawile, Espathra, Bronzong Phermosa, Iron Jugulus, Slither Wing Eelektross, Orthworm, Gliscor Aggron, Sceptile, Goodra Palkia, Emolga, Drifloon Tinkaton, Cloyster, Mienshao This was one of my favorite streams I was inspired
How’d they set up this rom hack? (Is it something that can discussed, or is that a legal no-no?) I think it would be fun to try this nuzlocke with my faves from every game like they are.
Not sure specifically how they did this, but there's a tool called PKHex you can use to edit saves for pretty much any Pokemon ROM, which includes adding Pokemon to your party and PC.
Who are you to say emerald kaizo is baby mode compared to radical red and shit on someone else's accomplishment, while I'm saying Pokemon red nuzlocke is baby mode compared to emerald kaizo and shitting on other people's accomplishments.
As an office worker I am thankful for Alpha replays
Honestly, same. I watch them while doing Taxes for people... That's the most grown up comment I've wrote on TH-cam.
Watching Alpha passive-aggressively rip into that one guy for being a douche about Kidd's achievements is very heartwarming. THIS is the type of person I aspire to be
“I like the Lucario/Zoroark back to back.”
“I like them for similar reasons.”
That was a raw f***ing line
the canid twink brothers
That ain't the only thing that's raw!
Turtanator going from does not deserve rights tier to top 30 for jacob is truly a redemptiona arc
Everyone shrugs off Turtonator but honestly it's a sleeper. Lol

The new Peach game is not what I expected.
The Fact, that the Girls got the Powerhouses in their Favourites while the Guys go for: Yeah i like this one
Is kinda Funny
I think the problem with Claire's quote is really that it had to be put in a game setting
If it were said in a purely story-driven medium you could do whatever you want with it
But because it's in a game setting, yeah, you've got to work with pre-set statistics, every Pokemon has a maximum. You can do whatever you want with a 200 BST Pokemon within the confines of the game, Level 100, EV training, IV training, the best few of held items for it, all of the in-battle use items, and genius strategy
Someone doing half of that work with a 500 BST Pokemon is going to bowl over you. That's just how it is.
I thought fir was memeing at first but the inclusion of obscure picks such as goodra, lugia, and especially shaymin, as well as the notable exclusion of gardevoir made me realize that, no, they really are doing that, and you know what? respect
delphox > braixen though. that's just how it is
You’re so right
Nah, braixen shows the legs which look like leggings/ stockings. So braixen > delphox.
Fir is my role model
Hey. At least it's
1. You were second twice in the row which is pretty good
2. You beat Kidd
"Miku doesn't have any enemies" the same Miku that had Luka burned at the stake?????
Not anymore she doesnt
Next Nuzlock Race: One favorite pokemon per type
I think a Type Lock would be cool. Like, each person picks a type and every mon on the team has to be of that type in some way. And no other person can have the same main type
That means with 5 players, each one gets at least 3 types, with three of them getting 4 types.
It'sa May. Mayrio.
Hex Maniac really thought she was cookin' with that Destiny Bond 😂
Fir is based for being so blunt about his top 30 picks, lmao.
Fir is based, i share a lot of favorites with him (my top 3 are alolan ninetales, umbreon, ninetales) but for different reasons, i just love the girlypops
If you include megas i feel like some of my pics weight towards them.
Bedrill? Mid pokemon, mega bedrill? Easy top 10.
29:00 You know what since no one actually does this, i kinda want to see a multiplayer contest or two, that sounds like it’d be… at least interesting.
As a mentally ill nostalgia addicted 20 something, I am thankful for Alpha replays.
Dearly hoping Jacob makes a main channel video about this run.
I admit I like a bunch of big, powerful Pokemon. Tyranitar, Hydreigon, Dragapult, Gardevoir... But I've always thought Legindaries come in too late and are lower level than my team at that point so I never really use them or bond with them.
Damn, the Karenlocke hits different lol
Is there a way to get the mod so you can have Pokémon such as miraidon in the game?
forever saluting streamers with their tolerance for annoying chatters, because goddamn o7
My favourite pokemon of all time is Aegislash, you think I could beat the game with it ? :/
Aegislash is an all-around amazing Pokémon, so I could definitely see it
That’s not even a challenge. Aegislash is insanely good.
As long as you play your cards right most certainly, I'd reccomend kings shield swords dance shadow sneak iron head with leftovers
Yeah. Easily.
Yes, Aegislash is too goated
Watched the whole thing, I have to stop missing these streams
P.S: you were all very enjoyable to watch :>
Divide your favorites into parties that you use for different legs of the race. ie: team 1 for gyms 1-3, team 2 for gyms 4-6, team 3 for 7-elite four or something similar.
Ludicolo should have played around the crit range tbh
Love Pixies pop off at the end of
Nice to see my favourite is your 4th favourite. (Meloetta)
It's nice to know we share a favorite in Absol
My favourite Pokemon is Porygon Z and I am so glad that Alpharad had it on his top ten
I like the look of your top 10 favourite pokemon list, glad to see we both love meloetta as well as gardevoir, there are some pokemon that i do like in that list but there are pokemon that i have a stronger love for over them.
My favourite Pokémon is Crobat, so I guess I just lose.
Embrace playing bm and use toxic, attract, confuse rat, and your choice of 4th
@@ArmadisRock I meant that Crobat isn't in Gen 9
This game has all pokemon from gens 1-9.
@CyberController- ok, lose two wi gs, get bigger teeth and play exactly the same
Why? Crobat is great. So unless your top 6 favourite pokemon are all Crobat, I think you would be fine.
A team of my favourites would just be eveeloutions
there IS something to be said though about if a pokemon is ONLY your favorite due to its competitive viability or if you ONLY hate a pokemon due to how bad it is in comp. i'm not saying i want all weak pokemon to be good in comp, but that there is more to pokemon than if a pokemon IS viable or not and lots of times people's favorite pokemon do just so happen to only be based on their views on said pokemon's viability in gameplay.
I feel bad for Alpha, but Pixie's win was so hype!
Goomy and Oshawott are my go to mons.
my top pokemon are currently surskit, umbreon and corviknight, i really need to do a wholeass list at some point though
It is fun but it is difficult to be honest with yourself. I had to keep editing it to be honest with myself about some pokemon that are powerful/cool, but I never actually use them.
Does anyone know how to add any pokemon to these older games? I'm trying to play with some of my favorites, but I haven't found a way to add them.
Will this modded rom be available for the public? Cuz I'd love to try this with friends
As a die hard gen 1er that never really played past gen 3
Top 5: Snorlax, Tyranitar, Suicune, Umbreon, Articuno
No confidence 6-10: Ursuring, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Gyrados, Nidoking
Flareon is the best boi. Yea, its move set is bad, but I love Flareon.
I love how everyone’s team has all these cool Pokemon, then there is some like Lotad. There’s always one Pokemon that is just out of place, like Joltik for Jaiden.
Shedinja, Garchomp and Gardevoir
Yes, yes that team slaps
did the math and my top 30 had an average bst of 488, higher than alpha since I didn't have as many little guys. But the median was only 503 cause my favorite region is johto lol
Top 6: Komala, H.Samurott, Totodile, M.Slowbro, Swampert and Keldeo...
Thank god gen 3 has no Grass Gym. 😅
I can relate. Water pokemon all the way.
Luckily, all my favorite pokemon are also powerful! My Paldea team was Ceruledge, Pawmot, Azumarill, Gardevoir, Garchomp, and the last slot was interchangable. Then when we got the expansion pack, I switched Gardevoir for Ribombee and Garchomp for Noivern.
Ribombee is top tier. They have saved me in so many tough spots
I ask all Pokémon fans to chill out when it comes to favorite Pokémon. Can we not just assume that everyone who likes Gardevoir looks for Gardevoir p*rn? Maybe everyone is just joking when it comes to Vaporeon or whatever, but those jokes are dead, and they just make people feel like they're not allowed to like these cool, beautiful Pokémon.
Alpha's expressed, in the past, that he legit liked Vaporeon before the 4chan meme. So its unfortunate that people just immediately associate Vaporeon with that meme.
Lucario's one of my favorites (specifically for how he plays in Smash Ultimate) but I know Pokemon fans would immediately be like, "Furry alert!"
Based Alpha for having Hattrem rather than Hatterene in the top 10.
My top 3 are Cacnea, Quilava, Brionne.
8:35
Some of my favorites (I'm only half joking)
Braixen, Lopunny, Meowscarada, Primarina, Gardevoir, Lucario
That's a decent team, eh? I have Fire / Psychic, Water / Fairy, Grass, Psychic / Fairy, and Fighting / Steel. Some repetition with Psychic and Fairy but it's whatever
I suppose I could think about using Hissuian Zoroark instead of Lopunny. Still Normal, but now with Ghost.
Okay but in all seriousness. . . let's see. . what would my favorites be? Probably not in any particular order, really
Charizard, Lucario, Infernape, Gardevoir, Alolan Raichu, Empoleon, Lopunny, Meowscarada, Gyarados, Meganium
Alolan Ninetales, Braixen, Primarina,
I'm trying to just do this off of the top of my head but I'm probably forgetting like 30 whole Pokemon I'd use, lol
My top 3 pokemon are Wobbufett, Scrafty, and Heliolisk. For nuzlocke purposes they're all just okay but I love them dearly
Pixie teaches us just like better pokemon
What if you did a too many types type/draftlock where each person has to pick primary types for them to use
My top 3 is Mega Mawile Delphox and Meowscarada and honestly based on competitive experience…Mega Mawile ALONE could prolly solo-most of if not entire games…if you add Garchomp Tinkaton and Mimikyu that team genuinely sweeps with 0 trouble.
Something like this would be a problem for me as all my favorite pokemon are bug types or look like they should be. I have beaten Moon with only bug types as a personal challenge but couldn’t do a nuzlocke with them
To be fair, I dunno if you can blame people of being burnt out of hyper optimization
honestly i think i kinda prefer this setup it's kinda simple
i would kill for this rom.
ralts scyther my 2 favorite pokemon including evolution line. Probly treeko next. When I am thinking of my favorite pokemon I think of the whole evolution chain.
My fave is trash cloak wormadam. I’m prepared to suffer
KARENLOCKE!
There's no way some of these ppl aren't trolling
I kind of want to do this challenge myself
Why at 3:57:15 was kidd resetting once he started losing ??
he had already given up on trying to place in the race after Pixie won so he was just resetting because he wanted to see if he could even beat the E4 at all with the team he chose now that he couldn't win the race
Love your video's Alpharad
I can't hop around cuz vod. What are everyone's sprites?
Jaiden is Hatsune Miku, Kidd is Squirtle, Pixie is Alolan Vulpix, someone is Luigi? Maybe that's Fir. I didn't watch the other streams either.
Vod gang superior
Bro Id lose this so hard. 2 of my 6 favorites are plusle and minun
Maybe they'd do well in some double battles? lol
What are the other 4?
@@trueblue6201 gengar, volcarona, meowscarada and giratina. thanks for asking :D
What rom are they using and will it run on android
Where could we get the mod? O.o
Nice content keep it up 👍
my top 3 are: Meowscarada, Dragonair and Kingdra...
Love the shoutout for Kingdra. Such an underappreciated pokemon.
My top three would be Mimikyu, Zorua, and Hisuian Zoroark. Two decent mons but some serious type overlap and Zorua's not great, so not a very good team I suspect. Top six doesn't get better because #4 is Joltik and #5 is Hisuian Zorua and #6 is either Torchic or Goomy or Gible and those don't have great stats to say the least
Me knowing I would fail miserably as my fav Pokemon is Psyduck......
My favorite Pokemon are Meloetta, Manaphy and Butterfree-
my top 10 favors are glaceon, absol, tyranita, noivern, alolan marwar, decidueye, sableye, mismagiuss, lopunny and alohlan ninetales

Luxray coffigrigus and typhloson scizor gallade and Blastoise.

Aggron, Sceptile, Goodra
Palkia, Emolga, Drifloon
Tinkaton, Cloyster, Mienshao
This was one of my favorite streams I was inspired
I felt the same inspiration. I think you would do well in Emerald. They are quite a few powerhouses in there and decent variety.
How’d they set up this rom hack? (Is it something that can discussed, or is that a legal no-no?)
I think it would be fun to try this nuzlocke with my faves from every game like they are.
Not sure specifically how they did this, but there's a tool called PKHex you can use to edit saves for pretty much any Pokemon ROM, which includes adding Pokemon to your party and PC.
Could I beat the game using only drifloon? I love the little guy but I think it sounds like a tough battle
My favorite pokemon is Mega Rayquaza. Easy challenge /j
Well my favorite pokemon is Ditto soo my chances would be very slim to say the least
Alakazam is honestly underappreciated
That's all I'll say. Bye.
Who are you to say emerald kaizo is baby mode compared to radical red and shit on someone else's accomplishment, while I'm saying Pokemon red nuzlocke is baby mode compared to emerald kaizo and shitting on other people's accomplishments.
my favorite pokémon is mimikyu :3
