    I just love that throughout this video, the chat is almost completely disconnected from the actual video. I'm loving the Ledian E4 strats, can't wait until you encore that earthquake on ttar and switch between ledian and salamence to get the intims down, then switch to swampert and mimic the dragon dance and sweep Drake...
    oh how far the ek community has gone lol.

    I think a big take away people don't get is that just because Jan made mistakes through the run doesn't mean he is bad. He simply came in at a time where the popularity of nuzlockeing this game wasn't anywhere near where it is at today and developed alot of the strats and shared alot of his knowledge eith people that then went on to bust open the game even more after his time

    Its crazy to realise that he is the reason EK is one of the most explored rom hacks.

I dont know how much of the strats he used are original, but its insane how much he helped building an EK community

      I mean to be fair if you consider this is a gen 3 game. In gen 3 competitive, bright powder, quick claw, focus band, choice band, lum, and leftovers were kinda the only held item options, so I’d say for Emerald those are competitive items.

      yeap. Jan went there blind, very reasonable that he reached 150 attempts. And after a certain point, im pretty sure he was burned out, thus making him less ''productive'' and losing some runs cause he didnt played optimely, which is understandable.

      you still need incredible game knowledge and intuition in order to still win when things go astray

    • @justinalicea1590
      @justinalicea1590 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      As someone who doesn't really understand how to emulate and so plays on official hardware, Switch mode infinitely increases my chances of actually completely a nuzlocke and thus finding some enjoyment out of it. The only exception I have is for X and Y, I have both and as they are both easy games and Pokémon Challenges recommends them as a good first Nuzlocke game, I play on Set Mode.

    • @Zalied
      @Zalied 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@justinalicea1590 i think this was a reference to the point in the video where he talked about how theres a thing that lets you put in what trainer your on and it will tell you what pokemon they will switch it.
      so your still playing on set mode but can better prep for what pokemon will be sent out if you have X or Y pokemon out since especially in these double battles where your trying to manipulate specific pokemon into certain slots.
      And i assume the top comment is saying having a program do all the work for you sounds less fun.
      the thing about switch mode unrelated to that part of this video is just that it eliminates a huge part of the difficulty even in non nuzlocks its the only thing we really have as a difficulty choice. Since with switch you can always guarantee your best pokemon gets out for free which is extra important if your pokemon is going to be faster. For example with set mode if you swap a pokemon in its going to take 1 hit. then if its slower its going to take another hit before it can even act. so 2 hits for a slower pokemon or 1 with a faster. this means any glass cannon pokemon is effectively screwed in set mode without a sacrifice or pivoting through different pokemon to guarantee certain moves. but in switch mode if you have a slow pokemon it only takes 1 hit and a fast pokemon can act first so no hits before action.
      this all allows better sweeps and more effective and dangerous strats that you cant always get away with in a set mode battle. It doesnt mean a nuzlock will be free and easy but its a much larger change than just seeing what pokemon is next for counter attack its also huge for which pokemon can even be used effectively since you need less security to get to your counters.
