@@aldrensiscar3988 Think people more just mean it's a guaranteed encounter. A lot of these games become pretty easy when you have guaranteed pokémon encounters so it makes planning your team easier. I'd like to see a run where they just ignore all the guaranteed encounters and only run with whatever random pokémon they find in the grass/fishing, at least it would make it a lot harder I think but like Jan has said (dunno if it was in this video or in other videos) Radical Red just isn't that good for Nuzlockes, it's better played as just an extremely hard version of a normal game.
Imagine this: A rom hack where pokemon TH-camrs are the gym leaders and Jan is your rival. Every time you beat him he'll tell you what attempt he's on.
Ok good idea Imma do it Update: Im nearly done, the last line he say is : Well boys, end of attempt 68, to attempt 69, noice. Update2:busy adding all pokemon and moves and ability and buffing some mons that i like and creating new moves and new signature ability :)
I think the Ditto at the end is actually a pretty clever joke. It's the last pokemon of the game, so you'd expect it to be the strongest, most terrifying thing you'll face in the entire game - and if you've gotten that far, if you've beaten 8 gym leaders, 4 Elite Four members and 5/6ths of the Champion's team, the most dangerous pokemon in the game is clearly YOUR pokemon.
I feel like whenever Jan says something is 100% not gonna happen, the game just takes that really personally and does it even if it's the least effective option of the ones they have, just to spite Jan
@@aweeb5473 yeah but he knew that this attempt would fail very early.. he unnecessarily lost many mons and had only 10 left at the begging of aquahideout .. he even just had 5 left for the last fight
@@charleshollister3612 "You literally cant lose this way unless you miscalculate or misclick" haha say that to his 54 emerald kaizo attempts. Nuzlocking at the top level the way Jan does it is all about risk management to play as safely as possible. As soon as you get lazy and don't play around a crit and lose a crucial mon, a run can snowball down catastrophically in these rom hacks. Making solid game plans that accounts for and mitigates that risk is very difficult. It can seem like he's just spamming good mons/strategies because of the quick editing, but he legit spent 4 days theorycrafting for and preparing for the elite 4 to eventually come up with that team that could handle everything that the elite 4 could throw at him safely and with as little risk required.
@@charleshollister3612 So you can be a doctor just by buying medical textbooks or do we need a reminder that reading about something and doing it aren't equivalent?
I do appreciate you making a distinction between this being a bad rom hack and being a bad rom hack for nuzlocke. The game is very fun. Kind of a pain for nuzlocke though lol
Gen 3 aesthetic is peak pokemon aesthetic in my mind. Seeing all the new pokemon and megas in gen 3 is extremely satisfying. The move sounds and animations are extremely satisfying as well. Not to mention to brass beasts of Hoenn and remastered Kanto soundtracks.
@@Xzunia Less is more. When they transitioned to 3D they needed to do a lot of animation work to compensate for the lack of imagination 3D models have. Obcourse they didn't, and now a lot of pokemon just stand their idling. The older Stadium games and Revolution did a nice job though. If only a mainline game would put in the effort to make them feel alive. At least our boy Ludicolo still has his iconic dance animation.
Happened to me in this game with Mega Gengar! But it wasnt a nuzlocke. On my second try my dragon dance flygon swept through the champs team, but then the ditto switched in and got all the boosts. thankfully, it took stealth rock damage and my max ev technician breloom mach punched it for the W extremely troll move by the makers of this romhack
literally the 5d chess you have to play during these battles is genuinely so impressive meanwhile I’m over here losing to random trainer battles in let’s go pikachu or w/e
Me: "Subscribed" PC: You think that you are subscribed but actually you are not. TH-cam just recommends you my videos. Me: Unsubscribes and subscribes again to make sure that i am subscribed.
I was about to comment something along the lines of, "its cool that the hack creator changed Agatha to a ghost type trainer instead of a poison type." Then I remembered: she is a ghost type trainer in the base game, just has a trash team for what's supposed to be based around ghost.
@@AlldaylongRock yeah, the lack of dragon types and ghost types in gen 1 & 2 for having people who specialize them has always bugged me. At least gen 1 ghost isn't gen 2 dragon type, with 2 fully evolved dragon types in a game with 2 dragon trainers.
@@2shy2guy52 MandJTV did videos on «Types, then and now», and he actually referred to that in the Ghost and Dragon videos. Why the fuck there were 2 Ghost Specialists in Gens 1 and 2 ( Agatha and Morty and In fact Morty doesnt even use a freaking Misdreavus ffs) with literally 2 FE Ghosts (Gengar and Misdreavus)? And Dragon with only literally 2 FE Pokemon (Kingdra and Dragonite) gets 3 specialists (Gen1 Lance, Gen 2 Lance and Clair).. But the fucking Dark type had to wait until gen 7 to get a gym leader(Counting the Kahunas as Gym Leaders), while Fairy got one right at its introduction? Pokemon games are just weird with those things And Gen 2 was super weird with the Pokemon picked for Gym Leaders (I remember Jan's meme and its actually pretty accurate), like, why Jasmine doesnt even get Skarmory?(Literally the only full Gen 2 Steel type), Chuck had 2 Kanto mons instead of like Hitmontop and Heracross....
4:00 I just recently started watching your videos while eating dinner and didnt know you speak german. That just caught me so unexpected, I almost spilled food all over my Laptop!
Bruhhh fr fr in radical red competitive stall is one of the strongest playstiles and mega audino is complete cancer there, its as strong or stronger than fucking swift swim drizzle teams with fishious rend seaking
Jan, by the end of Blue Kaizo, was exhausted because of how many attempts it took and how many times he lost at the Elite Four. Blue Kaizo was created to be as ball-bustingly difficult and frustrating as possible. Jan had more fun in Radical Red because of how few attempts it took along with him having lots of hands-on knowledge and experience doing damage calculations and proper team-building, which is the main focus of Radical Red's difficulty. I'm sure it was nice change of pace considering how many ROMs he's played where the difficulty mostly comes from the ROM makers making shit challenging for the sake of torturing the player, along with making the story super edgy and cringe
@@dantethewanderer4989 Yeah, I like that about Radical Red. It's not "dumb" difficulty, this romhack is mostly pretty fair. You do need to be prepared, but this hack provides all the tools pretty conveniently (IV/nature changers, etc); if you don't, some trainers will pretty much demolish you. Still no shot for me to beat it in a Nuzlocke run, but I had a lot of fun with it in a regular run
The Hardcore mode added after this playthrough does take away some of your most powerful strategies while powering up enemies (and adding more boss trainers). Might genuinely be un-Nuzlock-able, but it would be cool to see Jan just play through a sufficiently hard hack normally for once.
@@raikaru0 And without looking up boss movesets and stats. For a " Best Nuzlocker" he sure did take the cowards way out. He lost the right to say the game is easy the moment he admitted he did so. Because if he was really a pro he would of guessed the movesets and stat distributions failing over and over until he finally won!
@@celiafrostborn so he would've purposely played less optimally until he eventually plays optimally andcleans the game Yeah totally hard game, and that's totally what a pro nuzlocker would do
@@ASteveVaiFan in his rom hack ranking video he called insurgence a boss rush mode: there's so many resources available to the player to essentially manipulate your team to be perfect for each fight. The game is only hard from a decision making perspective, but so long as you are thorough and disciplined before every fight you should be fine. Admittedly the second gym is hard as balls in my experience regardless
I find it funny that on my regular playthrough, Lorelei beat me loads of times, I changed to a team just to beat her, then pretty much stomped through the rest of the league with that team (with no knowledge of what any of their teams were). Meanwhile you say the first 3 are babies and it gets harder. I think Lorelei's ice team is among the hardest of the league. Note I also had a calm mind Suicune which i think just matches really well against so much of this league
Could someone explain the AI switch from Dragonite to Salamence? Very curious why the AI decided to switch there and how Jan was able to predict that behavior
One of my favorite parts of the video comes really early on 4:03-4:06 where he first casually severly insults Keldeo - like holy shit what did Keldeo do to you - and literaly one second later blurs out the most benine english insult there is.
I absolutely love how /vp/ was shitting bricks and claiming radical red is un-nuzlockable. And then PC does it on his second attempt like a true madlad
The AI does see your Swampert's Damp when trying to Explode at 4:28, it's just that it prioritizes seeing your megastone and reads your mega evolution which makes you lose Damp. So you could probably have spammed Power-up Punch for attack boosts until it ran out of Explosion PP as it would keep spamming it. This is why trainers with Earthquake may try to hit your Gyarados as long as you have a megastone equipped on it. Genuinely feels like the AI cheats a bit since it reads your items, like how the AI never will try to paralyze your mon if you have a Cheri berry unless you switch into it as it tries to paralyze a mon without the berry on them. If you know that the AI cheats in this manner you can kinda try to abuse it tho.
The AI definitely does cheat with knowing your sets, I tried the Brock rematch a bunch of times and he would always switch in his Omastar on my Gengar if it didn't have Energy Ball, but never switch it in if Gengar did have Energy Ball despite the move itself having never been used. It just knows what sets you have in advance.
He needs to revisit this game and do 4.1 hardcore. Although still not as difficult as an EK or RnB, it offers a very different nuzlocke experience that subverts traditional play. Normally in a nuzlocke you play with the pokemon as you encounter them, in Radical Red HC you're going to be changing your nature, ability, and moveset in each fight in order to manipulate the AI in a preferable manner. It definitely has the most sophisticated AI of any room hack and the defensive nature of it makes the strategy so much different.
I think it's going to be absolutely miserable. Not extremely hard, just miserable. Hardcore mode takes such large part of your toolkit away and on the other side drives up the offensive power of enemy teams so damn high that only small amount of strategies remain viable, even less in ruleset where you're not allowed to reset. I think it's extremely ill-fitted for Nuzlocking and takes away the fun of every run being completely different. Anything that relies on weather or terrain? Useless. Anything that likes to setup? Useless. You also can't any longer deal with the enemy terrains and weathers and most Pokemon have quite insane coverage so most Pokemon have no chance of tanking two or in many cases even one hit from enemy sweepers and wallbreakers. Your chances of success will mostly depend on how closely the Pokemon you roll fit into the playstyle the devs want you to play like. I'd still like to see that happen, watching streamer struggle is usually fun after all, but I don't think it's going to raise Jan's opinion about this game and it's viability for Nuzlocking.
Dude I have never been so hyped during a Pokémon video, that was insane. You inspire me to learn more about Pokémon and nuzlocking all the insane plays you did, such a good video.
"Should've just played around the Max Natural Gift, you know, that thing that literally doesn't exist in Pokemon" Natural Gift in Gen 8 would actually make predicting Max Moves cancer
4:02 Ok, I did NOT expect German out of the blue! I'm German as well, I watched your videos here and there and your English is so accent free that I didn't even notice that it isn't your native language! That's nuts :D I'm writing in English so everyone can still read this :)
I’d love to see a hardcore mode of this one day. They take away a lot of setup moves and stuff like toxic stall. It’s incredibly hard now I feel like early your encounters really do matter. The teams are a lot harder as well
@@jaimereupert4247 I bet randomizers are fun but I hate it conceptually with how hard hardcore mode is. I think the consistency of the guaranteed encounters makes calcing and preparing a lot less of a headache. Like if you don't have a plan for kartana in the grass gym or get unlucky with mons you just get swept. Planning around a randomizer sounds like a nightmare lol
@@zxyen1629 from some of the guides and walkthrough runs I've seen of people playing this, the main battles (gym leaders and rival) have the same mons. They used the same ones for me that they did for them. Also idk about on hardcore or any other mode other just the normal randomizer option. Didn't want to try them yet, just wanted to have the starters and available pokemon randomized. And even without any other options turned on, you still have a lvl cap, still can't use items in trainer battles and it always on set mode. Plus it changed some stuff, like no more ohko moves or being able to put more than one mon to sleep at a time. Stuff like that, it tells you all the changes when you go to face Brock.
@@jaimereupert4247 yeah I've been playing it. I'm just saying hardcore is a step above the normal run as far as teams go and even without a randomizer, a nuzlocke is so incredibly difficult. But you could get insane mons in a randomizer. I'll definitely try it out someday
Me: "I'm definitely subscribed." PC: "Did you know you're not subscribed? You think you are, but you're actually not so make sure to subscribe." Me: "Oh shit, I thought I was! Lemme fix that." *is already subscribed* Me: "Thank you, I'm so glad you reminded me to double-check that!"
28:00 was watching away and at this point thought my music started playing when I heard the Nier Automata soundtrack in the background only to realise it was your video. It made me smile to hear this! Loving the content
I don't wanna be that guy, but I wanna see you redo this on Hardcore mode on V2.3a, would be really cool to see how you deal with the changes to the champion team and the rest of the game being greatly updated.
@@liambarron9772 It's so fucking RNG dependant it's crazy, you need some specific encounters to get through early game and also mid game, late game is kinda fun except the last Team Rocket fights. The league is just dumb af, literally have to preper for 9 teams full of ubers and totally unfair gimmicks like permanent Rain/Hail without a setter or being unable to remove hazards
@@liambarron9772 Eternatus can be dealt with easily with the right members, you could just cycle between them until he's out of pp, or just Destiny Bond kill it
I've discovered Radical Red after seeing this video and decided to give it a try recently. Turns out it was much much harder on its current version. Love it!
@@enderstrikegaming8578 yes you can. Press start and right you get the dexnav and PC option. So you can change your team every time without going to a pokemon center. You just go to the menu
Now do it on hardcore, lose access to a ton of stuff you’d otherwise have access to including specific evs and most stat boosting moves. The game also straight up takes away all weather setters and Tms to set weather. The hardcore mode is insane.
yeah this just goes to show how bad i am at competitive and nuzlockes... EDIT: whoa I don't think I've EVER had one of my comments have this many likes/replies before. I guess that's the power of first-day comments. also thumbnail almost looks like Bruno is petting the doggo in pokemon.
Hes done many nuzlockes of games and to be fair some lockes have loads of runs. Everybody has to start off somewhere and comparing yourself to him is not a good idea. Keep your chin up and focus on your own accomplishments and you will get better and better :)
Hey, this game is VERY hard... for casuals like me, who don't know a damn thing about doing competitive strats and just want to use Pokemon they like, hahaha
and I can't beat the psychic game, she sweeps my entire team with ease... This game is very hard for casual play, you gotta EV train and stuff and like that
Just get dealing with lightning rod, or chinchou with volt absorb/water absorb... pretty easy, misty and brock are also nowhere near as hard as they’re made out to be
@@solemnanderthanks for the tip, btw. brock wasnt a problem but I didnt think misty would be.. had to make an entire team for her, same for Lt. Surge, erika, Giovanni, rival in silph co and then silph co giovani fight
@@solemnander ah, I went in blind and didnt know what to catch, but in the end, I did beat Misty (with some trouble, of course). I need an aegislash for pscychic gym I guess That blash wave or heat wave (havent played in a while) takes care of my entire team with ease

It's honestly nice to see Jan express so much emotion, comparing this to the Blue Kaizo let's play you can tell how much he changed
Jan, by the end of Blue Kaizo, was exhausted because of how many attempts it took and how many times he lost at the Elite Four. Blue Kaizo was created to be as ball-bustingly difficult and frustrating as possible. Jan had more fun in Radical Red because of how few attempts it took along with him having lots of hands-on knowledge and experience doing damage calculations and proper team-building, which is the main focus of Radical Red's difficulty.

All we need now is for Jan to make Radical Red Kaizo where you only get terrible Pokémon, and somehow the opponent’s Pokémon are even stronger.
The opponent uses Hard Stall against you
Stall with Arena Trap

Somehow Palpatine returned vibes
The Hardcore mode added after this playthrough does take away some of your most powerful strategies while powering up enemies (and adding more boss trainers). Might genuinely be un-Nuzlock-able, but it would be cool to see Jan just play through a sufficiently hard hack normally for once.

Because if he was really a pro he would of guessed the movesets and stat distributions failing over and over until he finally won!
@@celiafrostborn so he would've purposely played less optimally until he eventually plays optimally andcleans the game
Yeah totally hard game, and that's totally what a pro nuzlocker would do
@@ASteveVaiFan in his rom hack ranking video he called insurgence a boss rush mode: there's so many resources available to the player to essentially manipulate your team to be perfect for each fight. The game is only hard from a decision making perspective, but so long as you are thorough and disciplined before every fight you should be fine. Admittedly the second gym is hard as balls in my experience regardless
6:50
That choice saved the game, twitch would know
I can't tell if Jan was having fun or he was just being powered by pure spite 😂😂
Can't it be both? Lol
@@alexanderhalvorson9950 Def felt like both.
I never thought pokemon could be this challenging mentally, the amount of calculation and prediction needed is just above me
Let's hear you say this with the new Hardcore Mode that just came out.
I think in a blind run the scarf ditto is perfect. Especially if someone tried cheesing the fight with setup spam
I find it funny that on my regular playthrough, Lorelei beat me loads of times, I changed to a team just to beat her, then pretty much stomped through the rest of the league with that team (with no knowledge of what any of their teams were). Meanwhile you say the first 3 are babies and it gets harder. I think Lorelei's ice team is among the hardest of the league. Note I also had a calm mind Suicune which i think just matches really well against so much of this league
lance and bruno are way harder
Honestly, having played this game this is the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen on yt. Great work PC
Could someone explain the AI switch from Dragonite to Salamence? Very curious why the AI decided to switch there and how Jan was able to predict that behavior
One of my favorite parts of the video comes really early on 4:03-4:06 where he first casually severly insults Keldeo - like holy shit what did Keldeo do to you - and literaly one second later blurs out the most benine english insult there is.
I had to do a double take when he suddenly started speaking german. Really unexpected to suddenly hear your mother tongue in a english video XD
@@Wolftatzeyou know that he is german? XD
I absolutely love how /vp/ was shitting bricks and claiming radical red is un-nuzlockable. And then PC does it on his second attempt like a true madlad
never listen to 4chan about anything for any reason. Big mistake
The AI does see your Swampert's Damp when trying to Explode at 4:28, it's just that it prioritizes seeing your megastone and reads your mega evolution which makes you lose Damp. So you could probably have spammed Power-up Punch for attack boosts until it ran out of Explosion PP as it would keep spamming it. This is why trainers with Earthquake may try to hit your Gyarados as long as you have a megastone equipped on it. Genuinely feels like the AI cheats a bit since it reads your items, like how the AI never will try to paralyze your mon if you have a Cheri berry unless you switch into it as it tries to paralyze a mon without the berry on them. If you know that the AI cheats in this manner you can kinda try to abuse it tho.
The AI definitely does cheat with knowing your sets, I tried the Brock rematch a bunch of times and he would always switch in his Omastar on my Gengar if it didn't have Energy Ball, but never switch it in if Gengar did have Energy Ball despite the move itself having never been used. It just knows what sets you have in advance.
"I don't always lose my Pokemon...but when I do...it's to selfdestruct or explosion. Stay thirsty my friends"
i love the "cocky" glasses for the E4
He needs to revisit this game and do 4.1 hardcore. Although still not as difficult as an EK or RnB, it offers a very different nuzlocke experience that subverts traditional play. Normally in a nuzlocke you play with the pokemon as you encounter them, in Radical Red HC you're going to be changing your nature, ability, and moveset in each fight in order to manipulate the AI in a preferable manner. It definitely has the most sophisticated AI of any room hack and the defensive nature of it makes the strategy so much different.
I think it's going to be absolutely miserable. Not extremely hard, just miserable. Hardcore mode takes such large part of your toolkit away and on the other side drives up the offensive power of enemy teams so damn high that only small amount of strategies remain viable, even less in ruleset where you're not allowed to reset. I think it's extremely ill-fitted for Nuzlocking and takes away the fun of every run being completely different. Anything that relies on weather or terrain? Useless. Anything that likes to setup? Useless. You also can't any longer deal with the enemy terrains and weathers and most Pokemon have quite insane coverage so most Pokemon have no chance of tanking two or in many cases even one hit from enemy sweepers and wallbreakers. Your chances of success will mostly depend on how closely the Pokemon you roll fit into the playstyle the devs want you to play like.
I'd still like to see that happen, watching streamer struggle is usually fun after all, but I don't think it's going to raise Jan's opinion about this game and it's viability for Nuzlocking.

Dude I have never been so hyped during a Pokémon video, that was insane. You inspire me to learn more about Pokémon and nuzlocking all the insane plays you did, such a good video.
Don't know why, but I jumped a bit when he suddenly started speaking german at 4:02
Are you a jew?
Jan is German. He speak fluent English cause he lived in Hong Kong for a few years as a kid and grew up around a lot of English media.
@@Nocturne989 oooh that explains it
But the content of his german sentence... 😅
28:53 most genuine enthusiasm I have ever heard someone have in a Pokemon game
4:01 that was amazing
"Should've just played around the Max Natural Gift, you know, that thing that literally doesn't exist in Pokemon" Natural Gift in Gen 8 would actually make predicting Max Moves cancer
the moment when your confused as a german when you hear someone speak german XD
Dude this Guy is growing so quick what the heck! Well keep up the great content man
"nice wing attack animation"
H-he didn't even recognize steel wing?!
4:02 Ok, I did NOT expect German out of the blue! I'm German as well, I watched your videos here and there and your English is so accent free that I didn't even notice that it isn't your native language! That's nuts :D
I'm writing in English so everyone can still read this :)
Missed opportunity to name "Will Smith" "Quill Smith"

Wait...
Finally you uploaded
Wtf xD where did the German come from at keldeo 😂😂😂 haven't laught like this in a long time
"Eins, zwei, deine mudda saugt mein..." That came out of nowhere, didnt even know he speaks german, funny af though
THIS IS THE HARDEST POKEMON GAME THAT'S EVER COME OUT PC IT'S SO HARD PLEASE PLAY IT LEMME WRITE YOU A TH-cam COMMENT ABOUT HOW HARD THIS GAME IS
^
what game is it again
h i radical red
@@1064-b3j He's already done with the game as of this video coming out.
I’d love to see a hardcore mode of this one day. They take away a lot of setup moves and stuff like toxic stall. It’s incredibly hard now I feel like early your encounters really do matter. The teams are a lot harder as well
Or even a randomizer nuzlocke. It's what I'm currently playing with. My first attempt. 😮😩🤦🤷😂
@@jaimereupert4247 I bet randomizers are fun but I hate it conceptually with how hard hardcore mode is. I think the consistency of the guaranteed encounters makes calcing and preparing a lot less of a headache. Like if you don't have a plan for kartana in the grass gym or get unlucky with mons you just get swept. Planning around a randomizer sounds like a nightmare lol
@@zxyen1629 from some of the guides and walkthrough runs I've seen of people playing this, the main battles (gym leaders and rival) have the same mons. They used the same ones for me that they did for them. Also idk about on hardcore or any other mode other just the normal randomizer option. Didn't want to try them yet, just wanted to have the starters and available pokemon randomized. And even without any other options turned on, you still have a lvl cap, still can't use items in trainer battles and it always on set mode. Plus it changed some stuff, like no more ohko moves or being able to put more than one mon to sleep at a time. Stuff like that, it tells you all the changes when you go to face Brock.
@@jaimereupert4247 yeah I've been playing it. I'm just saying hardcore is a step above the normal run as far as teams go and even without a randomizer, a nuzlocke is so incredibly difficult. But you could get insane mons in a randomizer. I'll definitely try it out someday
@@zxyen1629 speaking of insane pokemon, what would be the best starter/team to go for? (I'll keep resetting until they appear)
Me: "I'm definitely subscribed."
PC: "Did you know you're not subscribed? You think you are, but you're actually not so make sure to subscribe."
Me: "Oh shit, I thought I was! Lemme fix that."

Me: "Thank you, I'm so glad you reminded me to double-check that!"
The segment at 19:00 was absurd. This dude is insane.
28:00 was watching away and at this point thought my music started playing when I heard the Nier Automata soundtrack in the background only to realise it was your video. It made me smile to hear this! Loving the content
28:51 I love how excited he gets here when he wins the 50/50
I don't wanna be that guy, but I wanna see you redo this on Hardcore mode on V2.3a, would be really cool to see how you deal with the changes to the champion team and the rest of the game being greatly updated.
@@liambarron9772 It's so fucking RNG dependant it's crazy, you need some specific encounters to get through early game and also mid game, late game is kinda fun except the last Team Rocket fights. The league is just dumb af, literally have to preper for 9 teams full of ubers and totally unfair gimmicks like permanent Rain/Hail without a setter or being unable to remove hazards
@@liambarron9772 Totally doable but quite frustrating
@@liambarron9772 Eternatus can be dealt with easily with the right members, you could just cycle between them until he's out of pp, or just Destiny Bond kill it
@@kevinizzarelli417 I beat it ,the nuzlocke I mean. My team for e4 was lanorus, slowbro, urshifu, Alolan muk, delphox,togekiss
@@gautambose Where did you get landorus and urshifu?
will smith, the qwilfish should learn doubleslap.
🤣🤣🤣
I've discovered Radical Red after seeing this video and decided to give it a try recently. Turns out it was much much harder on its current version. Love it!
Mad respect for you beating this nuzlocke challenge
4:02 is he german? lol
I never noticed him having an accent, but I'm also pretty bad at that
He's German but he said he grew up in Hong Kong I think, so he doesn't have a noticeable accent
"I madara of all nuzlockers I have seen ,I declare you the best of them all"
Imagine how easy nuzlockes would be if you could change teams before every elite four member
In this game you can. With Gen 8 mechanics.
@@Niceone11202011 Nope. That's not a thing in Radical red, no idea where you got that information from but it's entirely false lol.
@@enderstrikegaming8578 yes you can. Press start and right you get the dexnav and PC option. So you can change your team every time without going to a pokemon center. You just go to the menu
Now do it on hardcore, lose access to a ton of stuff you’d otherwise have access to including specific evs and most stat boosting moves. The game also straight up takes away all weather setters and Tms to set weather. The hardcore mode is insane.
I’ve been watching some of your old videos, and seeing the sub goal on your streams increase every few months is fuckin awesome. Good shit Jan
1:02 “promotes Speed gain in leveling, but reduces the Speed stat”
Well yes, but actually no
It means, you gain more speed EVs when you hold it, but it lowers your actual speed stat.
Hey man I learned a lot from you with these vids. I first played Radical Red thinking it's hard af, but you made it look like cakewalk.
You are one of the few people that I ever watch on youtube beacuse your content is amazing as well as learning new stuff in pokemon so Thank you
That incantation when you caugh Keldeo. Just beautiful
Great run. Would love to see a return to this game's new Hardcore Mode at some point, that version is real funny.
yeah this just goes to show how bad i am at competitive and nuzlockes...
EDIT: whoa I don't think I've EVER had one of my comments have this many likes/replies before. I guess that's the power of first-day comments. also thumbnail almost looks like Bruno is petting the doggo in pokemon.
Yeah I'm out here sweating in my vanilla nuzlockes lol
Hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere. I'm garbage at comp and nuzlockes too.
I mean HE IS the best nuzlocker in za warudo tho(even if it's self proclaimed) cut yourself some slack mah dude
Hes done many nuzlockes of games and to be fair some lockes have loads of runs. Everybody has to start off somewhere and comparing yourself to him is not a good idea. Keep your chin up and focus on your own accomplishments and you will get better and better :)
I am basically average at competitive. My strategy is always spikes of all kinds, U-turns, and Sylveon as a baton passer.
"Alright, die please" is my favorite quote now.

Do a eternal x nuzlocke on youtube . Would love to watch it .
insanity mode ^^
hes still getting destroyed in the emerald kaizo nuz
İ love how this guy beat the game in 2 attempts and i can't even come to
LT. Surge in 8 Attempts
and I can't beat the psychic game, she sweeps my entire team with ease... This game is very hard for casual play, you gotta EV train and stuff and like that
Just get dealing with lightning rod, or chinchou with volt absorb/water absorb... pretty easy, misty and brock are also nowhere near as hard as they’re made out to be
@@solemnanderthanks for the tip, btw. brock wasnt a problem but I didnt think misty would be.. had to make an entire team for her, same for Lt. Surge, erika, Giovanni, rival in silph co and then silph co giovani fight
@@Kakanicsget yamper in the den just outside of the cave before misty, evolve it into Boltund and you can basically solo misty with just that
@@solemnander ah, I went in blind and didnt know what to catch, but in the end, I did beat Misty (with some trouble, of course). I need an aegislash for pscychic gym I guess
That blash wave or heat wave (havent played in a while) takes care of my entire team with ease
"Ein, Zwei, deine Mutter saugt mein Teil" hands down best mantra
