Tbh I think what makes me the happiest is that if you watch all of Jans videos with and on alpha and jaiden, you'll notice he begins to slowly become more confident in his videos, they feel more fluid, more fun to watch and most importantly, Jan seems happier
OH MY GOD, HE ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!! I know people say things like that all the time but this really feels like the turning point of a character in a TV show, and right at the end of the trilogy. Very good attempts, hell, I know I couldn’t have done any better 😭
Honestly, the fact they made it that far is beyond incredible. Their two different play styles, not by battle style but literally two different games, went further than most could. I give them credit and feel like with a bit of work, they could both crush this some other day if they choose to do this again
@@Primarina341 if you want to see an example, Gameboyluke, Original151 & Unitedgamer did one. It's basically a format where three people nuzlocke individually, after they all have beaten a gym, there's cagematches, sending out 1 pokemon per person out of the six they bring to the fight. The winner pokemon gets a perk (f.e. use of a held item or being able to learn tms) and the losing pokemon dies. The winner also gets a point. At the end the winner (person with most points after 8 gyms) proceeds to the finals, the other two fight a 6v6, of which the winner will join in the final for another 6v6, determing the winner of the series
@br0k3n_url basically it's a nuzlocke that can be done with 2-4 other people where you 1v1 after each gym battle to see who has to sack a mon. Then at the end you do a 6v6 to get a winner
Alpha turned him into more of a youtuber whereas before he was more of a stream of consciousness and just himself streamer who happened to make videos also.
33:37 I love this call back this is great, It's fun to see the three even if Jacob wasn't really here. I enjoyed it and it's a nice message that the true journey is the friends along the ride

I wonder if there is a way to do it in 3 different games. Say, one doing RBY, another doing FRLG, the third doing LGPE; some set of games that would mostly line up without being the exact same? I don't know that the gaps between gyms in different regions across generations would be similar enough to do something like that properly.

"You just looked at another screen because the Internet has rotted your mind" Me with the spoon halfway to my mouth; "Bro, I'm WATCHING, don't slander me for nuthin'"
Or blazeblack 2 redux is that hard since well he picked a harder game and jaiden be jaiden..... Jacob on the other hand i have doubt he can nuzlocke Blaze Black or Volt White 2 without any redo.
My mind has been so polluted by the many Manscape sponsors on this channel I was like 80% confident that during the segue Jan was gonna say “so during the run, me and Jaiden talked a lot about balls”
Showing the pics at the end was actually so sweet, so neat to see you guys become friends through this, seems like you’re getting along great and having so much fun together, in game and out, and like you said, that’s all that really matters.
I was playing radical red in the background and I had remembered the last time jan had caught me looking at another screen I thought “there’s no way he’ll do it again right?” AND THEN THE PERFECT TIMING HAPPENED AND HE DID IT AGAIN
Yeah, I remember thinking this soullink wouldn't work because of the reasons Jan explained in the end. Hopefully in the future they will do another one on a base game, just like how he did with Alpharad and enjoy the experience of playing with a friend, rather than trying to challenge himself with a rom hack that was too hard to soullink.
Yeah soulinking a hard rom hack is kinda tough. Although i think this one was potentially beatable, for the reasons he listed. Effectively he was playing a slightly harder nuzlocke of his game as he identified that the run was pretty easy for jaiden so he was unlikely to be effected by the soulink rules himself. Jaiden was effectively playing nuzlocke where her team was getting randomised based on what pokemon jan need for any given battle, while also have the risk of pokemon randomly being fainted by her partner. HArdcore Soul link with both players in a hard game would just be to tedious as ontop on need insane luck on encounters your doubling the probability that a random miss or crit loses the run.
what about a ROM hack like Radical Red but on different difficulty modes? That way, you have enough varied encounters per routes that all 3 can make different teams and the challenges are different between the 3.
Crazy how they all ended up being good friends. I found Jan through Jaiden’s first nuzlocke and I learned so much from Jan by watching all his videos 😊. I then I found Alpharad when Jan reacted to his nuzlocke so it’s been a journey 😄
I really like the idea of you doing a soul bonds like this with other creators and I bet if you did some more you’d be able to find a great balance of difficulty for you and your guest.
thanks john cena for clarifying. for a second I thought that maybe pokemon challenges the greatest nuzlocker in the world wiped to a random trainer and then said it didn't count due to something called building clause, but I'm glad that you were there to correct that notion.
I need you to know that even though the Nord script remains mostly the same, you’re one of the few content creators I actually watch it for. You’re not just background noise to me, Jan. ❤
As someone who shiny hunted a starter Tepig in Black and proceeded to body the entirety of the Unova region up to the Elite Four with Shiny Emboar... I agree wholeheartedly with Jan's assessment of Emboar.
Let's not forget that Emboar can learn Scald, which is quite an added bonus, considering at the point of Black2/White2, it was the only fire type starter that could learn it.

When Jacob gets bullied by an AI that represents him, and by Jan in their playful beef. Gosh I adore this trio of chaos and the content it puts out. Jacob with great luck to the point of critting encounters to death and catching legendaries by the handful while sometimes barely strategizing, Jaiden with awful luck in terms of getting the worst possible outcomes and challenges despite actually knowing a lot of strategy generally, and Jan who decides instead to make luck the least of his suffering by choice, going so far as to make every run brutal and a test of his skills to master his craft to levels that many wouldn't have the patience or emotional capacity for while also spamming rare candies because his craft can't afford to take the time to grind, especially in Johto, which is based.

Where?
I discovered you through Jaden's videos, and seeing the full circle... It's so wholesome and amazing 💖
4:56 this happened RIGHT AS I had scrolled down a bit to browse suggestsions for my next video and I got scared for a second
Can we talk about how pokemon brought people from across the world together as friends? Warms my heart ❤️
When Jacob gets bullied by an AI that represents him, and by Jan in their playful beef. Gosh I adore this trio of chaos and the content it puts out. Jacob with great luck to the point of critting encounters to death and catching legendaries by the handful while sometimes barely strategizing, Jaiden with awful luck in terms of getting the worst possible outcomes and challenges despite actually knowing a lot of strategy generally, and Jan who decides instead to make luck the least of his suffering by choice, going so far as to make every run brutal and a test of his skills to master his craft to levels that many wouldn't have the patience or emotional capacity for while also spamming rare candies because his craft can't afford to take the time to grind, especially in Johto, which is based.
Jan is so nice for giving a platform to smaller creators
Thank you finally someone else who appreciates Tepig
Bro, this dude is too good at these that he actually adds extra challenges or hacked games. Like, that’s crazy
