The glowup for Brayden by going from "I THOUGHT IT HAD STURDY!" to a full nuzlocker capable of winning races, lmao. It's so funny to think about, but it's also impressive.
oh that clip was hilarious. i got the feeling that most of these Nuzlockers never played the older generation Pokemon games, as a lot of the abilities worked completely differently in generation 3, than how they work today. Sturdy for example, only effected actual OHKO moves. moves with the names: Fissure, Horn Drill, Guillotine and Sheer Cold. It was in generation 5, that the ability was changed to allow the Pokemon to survive on 1HP, if it would be knocked out, from "Full HP" from any attack in the game. Basically Focus Sash!
Bruce Wayne will never get over the death of his parents in an alley. Peter Parker will never get over the death of his uncle to a robber Peter could have stopped. And Captain Kidd will never get over "I thought it had Sturdy".
7:25 Pokemon Challenges was also Right, Courtney only has a Camerupt during the whole game, the only fights with her that have other pokemon are pokemon from the Magma Grunt in the Double Battle
I’m honestly surprised how long they took to get Whitney’s team, I was like, okay two Pokémon, they’re both pink, then the miltank started materializing and I was like WHITNEY
I'm genuinely impressed with myself for guessing Marley's team from Renegade Platinum before these guys despite having _never_ done a full playthrough of that romhack. I just remembered that she specialises in high Speed mons and took the shot off of that.
I guessed Courtney, then, when the answer showed up I was like "oh yeah there's an Arcanine that's kinda her thing huh". Interestingly that team there is actually the one she fights you with in Platinum if you remove the Sceptile & Starmie and replace them with a Ninjask.
Just for viewer engagement, I would suggest another round but with vanilla games only. That way a higher viewer count can also "play along" with the contestants.
yea i was assuming itd be about vanilla games, but thats probably cause the one i watch the most by a huge margin is flygon hg lmao. I could be wrong but if it was vanilla games i feel like he wouldve crushed since he has so much experience playing all the games so many times doing all those monotype runs while the others do mostly romhacks that take alot of time away from getting more runs done overall
Another banger video! This one was such a delight. Can confirm, filling out that type chart is trickier than it looks, even if you have all the types memorized in practice: I took a crack at it after finishing this video and only remembered the one type combo I was missing with less than a minute left. (It was that ice is super effective against flying, lol)
I really really enjoyed this video! As someone who consumes nuzlockes daily, this quizshow gives me "who wants to be a millionaire" vibes where I sit there blaming the participants for not knowing the answer even though i would've chosen the wrong answer myself xD Greetings from Germany and i am looking forward to the next one!
This was a lot of fun to watch! I've only nuzlocked a couple of vanilla games, and I'm currently trying my hand at Radical Red, but I've watched so much footage from you guys lol
At 11:53 Machamp also takes resisted/neutral damages from houndoom so I think it's random between miltank and machamp but I'm not sure I don't really know about Gen2
When I saw the Camerupt team, I thought it was going to be "wild encounter". Also, I expected you to pull a fast one on them and include either Tate or Lisa's team, separate from the other.
Now Jan can change up his intro from "I'm probably the best nuzlocker in the world" to "i'm the best nuzlocker in the world, according to Captain Kidd" XD
as soon as the question with the medicham came up and it was established that the aggron killed it i was just like "how?" and i am so happy that pokemon challenges went in immediately after asking the same thing xD
Can't believe I got Whitney in the first round before any of them. Gonna thank MandJTV for his hate of that miltank that has solidified her team in my head. Great video!
Most people: Would be embarrassed by telling a popular youtuber to use onix against a Jynx in a nuzlocke Kidd: Proceeds to milk the heck out of that clip and considers it his defining moment I'm not even mad, its well deserved, and you've done it super creatively and hilariously. Well done.
This is correct. i have no clue why they weren't both correct. I understand it not being ttar as HP is treated as Normal type in the gen, however not only does houndoom *lose* to machamp on the dark side, since machamp *resists* dark, but machamp is also *neutral* to houndoom's fire type moves, and it *also* hits houndoom for fighting type super effective damage. By all means, if any, machamp would be prioritized by smart ai.
@@176463 my theory is it multiplies power with accuracy to get an average, so milktank has 100 avg with earthquake but because of 50% accuracy machamp has 50, and abilities didn't exist in gen 2 so no guard doesn't apply.
Wait, if the reasoning Miltank comes in is because it's not weak to Houndoom's STAB and has a super effective move, how is Machamp's Dynamic Punch not considered? Doesn't it have a higher base power than EQ?
only a blind guess from a not-experienced nuzlocker, but accuracy/power average? Example numbers: 120 base power, 50% accuracy averages out to 60 damage per turn before pokemon stats are factored in and comes out to less than a 70 base power move that hits 100% (or near enough to make rounding vs slightly more complicated numbers) of the time. 120>70, but 60 average
@@otterex Like i said, merely a guess. I am very likely wrong, but the flip side of your counterpoint comes in 2 parts: first, when were abilities introduced again? I started in gen 3, and they have been present ever since, but i thought i heard that they were not introduced until gen 3. By that logic, gen 2 AI will not account for it unless we are talking about romhacks that "retroactively" introduce them. The second point is just the unknown minutia of the AI in general. He already threw a "hidden power is always seens as normal by AI, regardless of actual type" twist, so again the AI might ignore something as obvious as abilities. Just to be clear, still just speculation. I have no clue how true any of what ive said is, but i wanted to take a swing, regardless of how wildly off i was.
The fact that I got most of these questions right yet haven’t done a single nuzlocke just proves how much space of my brain has been willingly given up to this game
i would like to suggest a game of pokemon scattergories with categories like pokemon name (possibly even bug type pokemon), location, move, ability, item, character; that sort of thing i feel like the chaos that could come from it would be very fun
I feel like the Camerupt team question should've had two correct answers because in all of Courtney's battles in Omega Ruby, she uses a sole Camerupt, except for the last battle in the Delta Episode where it's a Mega instead.
that "master baiter" section sounded so goofy on the name alone, but it was a really inspired section for a quiz for the participants! really fun watch
i assume cause its almost all about romhacks or watching other peoples content when he was spending half his nuzlocke career working on a phd instead and 90% of the time just does things like monotype or
12:00 Im confused. Houdoom STABs are fire and dark, why would the AI send in a Milktank with the reason of "neither fire nor dark are super effective against miltank", when it has a machamp, that resists dark?
On the houndoom question at 11:53, why is machamp an incorrect answer? Is it because it’s later in the party than miltank? Because machamp is both resistant to dark and neutral to fire STAB moves and has two super effective attacks.
Jan really shows up more on other channels than he does on his own channel.

That sturdy misplay is gonna haunt Kidd for the rest of his life
He beat Emerald Kaizo Hardcore and he STILL won't live it down.
It was the start of his arc.
Bruce Wayne will never get over the death of his parents in an alley.
Peter Parker will never get over the death of his uncle to a robber Peter could have stopped.
And Captain Kidd will never get over "I thought it had Sturdy".
And after his life, it will be engraved on his tombstone so it can haunt him for his afterlife
Lives rent free in my head
I love how Jan looks like he's in physical pain whenever he answers
Ive never seen him not look like that tbh
Flashbacks to how he learned whatever they were asking about.

7:25 Pokemon Challenges was also Right, Courtney only has a Camerupt during the whole game, the only fights with her that have other pokemon are pokemon from the Magma Grunt in the Double Battle
I was gonna say I just did a play through of OR and could have sworn she had just the camerupt
A FELLOW MUDKIP ENJOYER
bro my brain was like wait there's two answers for this. WHY AM I TRIPPING
Flygon missed the opportunity to flex his irl PhD. But in all seriousness this is a funny video and would love to see this content again.
Given the option, Flygon always chooses self-deprecation over flexes
I’m honestly surprised how long they took to get Whitney’s team, I was like, okay two Pokémon, they’re both pink, then the miltank started materializing and I was like WHITNEY
Same, and I stopped playing Crystal before I fought Whitney
I was distracted by the pixel art making Clefairy look like a luvdisc
I imagine actually conjuring whitneys name was the hardest part
And then ptsd
I recognized the miltank immediately , tho I’m not traumatized by her as other people cuz I never played the og game
I love how scruffy pokemon challenges always looks in these collab videos
that’s why we love our Jan 😭😭🙂
I would love to see this done again in the future; it was interesting and hilarious.
You should do one more with Alpharad, Ludwig, Jaiden, and RT games to have a mid level competition

That would've been a good one to include; take one of their PWT teams. Though I'd bet the Solrock/Lunatone would give it away.
Now Jan can change up his intro from "I'm probably the best nuzlocker in the world" to "i'm the best nuzlocker in the world, according to Captain Kidd" XD
For the single Camerupt team it actually could’ve been Admin Courtney from ORAS. You fight this team during the Delta episode in Petalburg.

When a clip becomes that known, best thing to do is roll with it. Even if it's embarrassing, if you own it, it can lead to laughter and discussion. :)
He even did a solo with onix out of spite
I just started and honestly I'm proud of myself for calling Cynthia's team before Jan
only four minutes in and i'm already having a blast watching
I can't look at an onix anymore without the immediate thought becoming "WHAT DID I SAY, BRAIDEN?"
That was actually awesome I hope you do more! You’re the best!
Where's the Nuzlocke king? Where's Drew?
EDIT: Ok so Drew helped put it together.
Love that pchal looked like he doesn't give a fuck, he's just gotten out of bed
I like the community you guys area creating around nuzlockes i dont know if its been here for long im new to it and im having a blast
I am already proud that I managed to get a few of the teams in the first section before the pros did
I need more of this, this was amazing
When I saw the Bird Keeper team I actually yelled: "TEAM SKY!"
