McGrow the Ferrothorn carried this run on her back and we will never forget her sacrifice

Let's not forget Katta the Ribombee either. Put in some hard work and sacrificed herself to allow Nurderlenn into the team

Roguelike: a type of game where you're generally supposed to lose a couple of times before you can beat the game
Alpharad: "Losing isn't a part of my vocabulary"
*plays the famous clip*
Groudon would like to have a word
lol obviously he does lose a lot, I'm more just confused as to how this man one shot a rogue-like despite going into the final battle with 4 pokemon like wtf
@@typhlo7291 If luck was a stat IRL, he'd have it maxed. What is he doing being a Pokétuber, he should be out there winning lotteries!
@@theramendutchman man’s literally has max IV’s and EV’s in the Luck stat IRL I stg (not that that exists in Pokémon but still)
22:26 was hilarious to me bc alpha rlly said "both of our sweepers dead" and McGrow proceeded to rock the shit out of the entire enemy trainer's team and he said nothing
I had a ferrothorn on my team too, fucking carried me so hard, this ROM made it become one of my fav mons of all time, im super happy it managed to survive till the end, got a little TOO attached haha
Reminder that, Choice band is a viable set for Ferrothorn
Jacob screaming "weakness policy" around 14:00 is the most genuine sounding scream i have heard in a while
Okay but 14:31 though
Gives me dofenschmirtz vibes.
@@tomwanders6022 I can hear it
@@tomwanders6022oml once I read this it was so clear
It reminds me of the Fullmetal Alchemist dubbed.
The final twist had me at the edge of my seat for how Alpha can abuse his luck stat to beat the final challenge ahead of him.
Apple + perfection moment
Thing is, it’s not a Good Luck stat. It’s a Luck stat. Every unlikely event *will* happen to him, good or bad. Like getting confused three times in a row. Or catching legendaries in a single quick ball
@@vbarreiro This is the truth luck ALWAYS has backlash
Luck is a chaos stat, and it really loves to choose what ends up being the most entertaining.
I was so at the edge of my seat that I have no idea how I didn't fall off..... then I fell off when it was revealed that he wasn't done at Lance PURE PERFECTION
Hats off to Mcgrow the Ferrothorn, may you join the Alpharad grass hall of fame
Jacob is slowly becoming a grass gym leader
@@danieltsiu7383Venusaur, Meganium, Ferrothorn, Baabu tbh he's cooking a team
@@mortrixs1936 You can't just forget Carl the Vileplume like that
@@sleeptight8096 We will never forget the Vilepile
@@mortrixs1936 When did he use Venasaur and Meganium?
Alpha: If it’s from Alola, then you know it’s slow.
Also Alpha: Specifically points out that Ribombee is faster than Noivern.
True but there are a lot of slow pokemon from Alola like Golisopod, Toucanon Decidueye, Primarina, are some examples Vikavolt being the worst as the dex says it's supposed to be fast.
Most 'mons work on island time, but Ribombee is on drugs.
Alola has either speed demons or slow glaciers, nothing in between. And likes those glaciers more than the demons.
@@ElHarmonyV... then you look at pheromosa
I know it's only based on the first 3 gens, but could you imagine if you beat the champion and he's like "there's one more challenger you must defeat"
And then the piano starts
That’s literally what I was imagining. Cynthia in this would go SO CRAZY
I really hope they add gym leaders, e4 and champions from later games, come on, we have pokemons gen 1-8, give us trainers too xD
It may be based on the first 3 gens, but I DID hear that piano when I saw in the video Lance's garchomp.
@@ja-melvinson7994 Other Trainers: We have been buffed but arent crazy.
Cynthia: I Have arrived from Pokemon Infinite Fusions with the most powerful pokemon you can imagine. My starter is Spiritomb/Shedinja with Safety Goggles and Wonder Guard. Good luck.
wait.... why is Giratina in it if its only first 3 gens.... or CALYREX???
I love how the editing is way stripped back at the end of the video and lets the tension of the situation speak for itself. Very nice.
It legitimately makes me want to tune in for a stream and I rarely ever watch streams. Seems like a great entertainer.
That finale was more intense than any fights in the actual pokemon anime
Which is funny, since "I came to the final battle without a full team of 6 and won" and "We're both down to our final pokemon and mine is at the disadvantage" have both definately happened in the anime
I'd saaaay... Ash VS Paul in the anime's gen 4 - which featured an Infernape's grudge match against one hell of an Electivire, which was Motor Drive speed-boosted from a previous bout in which it took down Pikachu - was _pretty_ goated. And what happened to Alpha here is absolutely of that level, in terms of stakes and drama.
Now, this isn't me going "wElL, aCtUaLlY", right, because I played Pokémon Emerald Rogue myself and had one hell of a first run, so, I agree with your statement on principle. I'm only mentioning this fight because to me, whenever a personal adventure reaches that fight's level of awesome, then the game that allowed it is doing something right.
@@twaggytheatricks4960 Ash v Paul is top 10 best anime fights of all time
@@twaggytheatricks4960 Sad tho that the rest of the anime sin't really near this level of goodness
There's also the "no full team" bit in Gen 5 League, Ash v. Cameron. The dumb idiot thought "full battle" meant 5v5, but his anchor Riolu evolved into Lucario mid-fight, and he won (I think, it's been a while).
@@J.Blazer That's actually the episode I was thinking of when I made that original comment lol
I think you'll soon become a new nuzlocke master with how well you adapt to tough situations in games like that
no mo icarus complications
He is gonna give Jan a run for his money
15:20 I'm so glad they redid a lot of these sprights. Moltres no longer looks like a joke, and Alolan Persian no longer looks like it got stung by multiple bees.
Sprites*
Nice to shine some light on one of the best made Pokemon mods in recent memory.
Until Nintendo goes after him too
@@bunnyboo9097 its a rom hack why would they take that shit down lol
@@ErickDAcesI think he’s talking about how Nintendo disgraced pointcrow for playing mods of their games
@@ErickDAces They've taken down more legally protected things than rom hacks lmao
@@NostalgicOccultistI bet nintendo would shut down schools for having someone show up in a mario costume for halloween
I think its cool to have a main character that has a set design but can still be custom like black to white skin and different colors
isn't that what the modern Pokemon games do
@@-aexc- modern pokemon games are absolutely not set designs lol
"Set" means totally unchanging aside from maybe some colors
@@-aexc- no because in the new games their design changes completely its like miis where their appearance and hairstyle and face structure changes drastically, as to here where may is still may except black or white
Then u have me: i like blue reminds me of kicking my cousins ass with my lvl.80 kyogre while he had All lvl.100s
pokemon bdsp, basically.
Man, this video has SUCH a good story. It actually feels like Jacob's Storytelling leveled up recently for this
He has always been good storyteller.
The Professor Oak surprise at the end of the game is so cool to me. Like, I've heard there's data in the original red and green for an unused fight with Oak. Apparently he takes whichever starter neither you nor his grandson pick. Oh, and great job to Alpha, I can tell this would take a LOT of focus, even with his knowledge of the series :D
The fact that in the champion fight he said that’s both sweepers gone and then McGrow proceeds to carry the entire team is very funny to me
Also the fact that he throws out a Rayquaza right after saying that
Alpharad: the final boss will be pulling out pineco.
Also Alpharad: and our starter is pineco
Alpha is the final boss
And who gave us the pineco? PROFESSOR OAK!
@@Ro9ge Rocket Edition in a nutshell.
This has soooo much main character energy lol
Ghetsis had enough of Mr. Funnyman's phenomenal luck.
Yo that Excadrill came in so clutch with the outspeed at the end there. Only thing that was missing was Jacob screaming "My (Exca)drill is the (Exca)drill that creates the heavens!" To bring the Gurren Lagann reference full circle.
It's so fun seeing the more recent Pokémon which never got this kind of spriteart before in this style.
Ah, this reminds me of my first run of Emerald rogue where my entire 6 man team who beat a gym leader was swept by a random trainer's poison orb, facade teddiursa
The trainers in this game can be evil, i once ran into a guy with a suicune when i only had fire types left on my team and you can imagine the slaughter
Ferrothorn and Excadrill carrying the dream to the end made me smile, got me all nostalgic over Gens 5 and 6 competitive lmao
I forgot I was in this video. Sorry for hitting myself in the face a lot
Being there for the Oak battle was a religious experience
And seeing the whole run now is awesome!
This comment was really unfunny so I'm gonna tell a knock knock joke instead.
Knock Knock!
Onix
Cloyster. That's it, that's the comment.
What did
Amen
@@windchimes2883 Bounsweet. That's it, that's the comment
I really need to play this, I like Pokémon and I love Rogue-likes, it’s like a match made in Heaven.
It’s fun too just cus it’ll force ya to play with ‘mons you don’t normally utilize
Same
true
this game also has challenges you can do like only use normal types
You dont understand the gravity of this situation
Just wanted to say this was probably my favorite of your videos. The editing is on point, the story telling is great, and the gameplay was exciting.
This is a nice video to watch, I hope you continue to make videos on this game simply because of how fun it is to see what happens in game.
it's nice to see Alpha being somewhat competent at what he's doing. i think it makes for better content
You didn't have to say "somewhat" here.................
Please play angry birds epic you need to
@@Alpharadyou usually are competent tho
@@AlpharadBlame the Icarus complex bub 🤷🏿♂️
@@Alpharad no...
but am i wrong? 😘
Mcgrow will live on in our hearts forever. Got so far, survived so much, helped out until the very end.
The glorious little bastard. :D
Imagine how difficult a Pokemon Explorers/Rescue Team roguelike would be
Carpal Tunnel speedrun
@@IAmGalaxian-bi6co Nah pokemon ranger
@@sparkred4565 right yeah I get those mixed up
I'm hyped that Excadrill was the last one standing! Had one that was a star for one of my own nuzlockes, so its got a special place in my heart. This was an awesome video! I was on the edge of my seat.
GOOD THUMBNAIL
Fr
I see the “nuzlocke king” is trying to become the “rouge like king” too
I would really like to see one of the bigger poketubers/nuzlockers play Pokémon Reborn. It's 'fun'.
@@jacobcain9008 yooo honestly i’d love it if alpha played reborn
@@HunterSlingbaum I just wanna see his reaction to THAT fight. If you know you know :)
Callum already took that
Really loved the editing on this vid! Esp all the sound effects. I haven't heard the "lucky" paper Mario sound effect in a while
This was one of your best videos - you get me so effin’ pumped about Pokémon. That ending was a total nail-biter!
Alpha being surprised that his Excadrill was faster than Moltres had me ROLLING
to be fair i could've sworn that moltres is base 100 speed, i totally forgot it's base 90 bc i assumed it's the same as Zapdos' speed.
@@captain_buggles well, zapdos IS an electric type..
buddy excadrill is naturally slower. it’s base 88 speed vs moltres’ 90
@@SuperEljafru so is this how Iv's work? Exadrill had a faster iv pool in speed?
@@ZackNakazora1 yeah basically, alphas excadrill had a high enough speed iv and maybe had speed evs? i actually dont know if emerald rouge removed evs or not, but it was enough to make the difference in outspeeding moltres
For the Moltres Draco Meteor segment: If this is emerald battle AI, then the draco meteor’s damage probably rolled so low that it wouldn’t have ko’d either Pokémon, so it chose a target at random.
seeing all the new boiz in 8 bit is warming my heart in a way i didn't know I needed.
(Not really 8 bit)
I watched the finale of this live
It’s been wild watching Jacob hone his Pokémon skills these past 2ish years
14:31 Is where you can hear Alpharad’s soul leaving his body and being dragged to the shadow realm due to fear
Personally I like roguelikes for their "every run is different" aspect: there's more strategy involved than just "pick the best items in the game every single time" since the game is not guaranteed to give you said best item
I have never been this hype for the finale of a video. This was sick and extremely well done Alpha.
This is my favorite pokemon video youve released because for once the challenge actually is a test of being ready for anything and one that genuinely put you at the edge of (and more often OUT of) your seat
A far cry from your most recent nuzlocke in which you has so much confidence from start to end. Now THIS is content
I appear to be unable of making an unfunny TJ "Henry" Yoshi joke and I apologize wholeheartedly
Finally, another human that understands the value of a Ferrosteel
Dumb stupid seed
Ferrothorn has been an OU staple since the day it was introduced. It has never been underrated lol
One of the most hardstuck OU pokemon in existence. All 4 games it's been in it's been the best trap-setter that wasn't banned to Uber.
One of the best defensive walls in the game.
I love Alparads pokemon videos since they always manage to keep me on the edge of my seat
lmao his GIRATINA yell, TWICE
fr tho this is like the most excited he's looked in a video in a while, loving it
Wow, that ending sure was tense. Bravo on making it through.
Props for the Trails in the Sky music starting at 7:26. I love that game to Pom-sized bits, and nobody ever plays music from it!
That really caught me off guard!! I'm replaying Trails and the battle music is pretty much ingrained into my memory at this point
Trails in the Sky is such a good game!
Seeing new Pokémon in this pixelated style brings me so much joy
That was totally insane, I had shivers during the 2 last fights, well played dude
I’ve played this a lot, and seeing you make it out of the finale with Rock Tomb of all things puts a smile on my face.
Like, come on, that was HARD
Plz link me to the download
Imagine if the rock tomb missed
Alpha: *Encounters a green Pokemon with a giant bulb for a head and floral decorations around its neck named after buds*
Alpha: "How was I supposed to know it's a grass type?! I don't follow VGC!!"
tbf you NEVER see Calyrex as a grass type.
@@Manavine That's because base Calyrex is complete trash.
Man I'm happy to see that other people are finally getting hooked on your channel! Been here for such a long time :)
This was so wonderful.. hoping for more Emerald Rogue content on the horizon!!!
Having a feature where you can gamble your ENTIRE team is so extremely based of this romhack.
The true rogue like experience of there being another final boss after what you think is the final boss
Love the Gurren Lagann reference for that one drill pokemon I forgot their name but Gurren Lagann peak.
this is such a great video. I hope you play another run and edit it like this one
17:45
An Excadrill ready to pierce the heavens…well said Jacob, well said.
@Anthony Nguyen honestly
holy shit gurren lagann
Honestly, absolutely incredible run. Maybe my favorite of yours... even I forgot about the post-champion fight during this video.
21:58 Without knowing the end of this video but having finished a run of Rogue myself, this will age very poorly.
I won't lie, the end literally had me on the edge of my seat. Great stuff all around 👍
That run was incredibly hype. I'm so glad I was there when it happened. Those last fights were an emotional rollercoaster of hope and despair
A gently reminder that Exgadrill is awfully fast
Gg Alpharad for this W🤩🤩
A true bard, every video's a story.
This game looks fun. I wouldn't mind seeing another couple runs if they are hype.
This is one of my favorite Alpharad vids, I laughed way to hard at the dumbest jokes
the primal fear as he squealed WEAKNESS POLICY???? had me weak good lord
I'm just gonna point out the bangers selected for the background music and sound effects. Like, hearing Kid Icarus and Dragon Quest music here on top of a hilariously edited video is just great, and the sound effects like Paper Mario's "miss" adds to the hilariousness. Good job, whoever is picking the music.
definitively should do another video on this game, really fun concept.
Please do more runs. This was incredibly fun to watch
This was one of the crazier attempts of this game I have seen yet, what a rollercoaster through and through.
Ferrothorn is a godsend for this game, if you manage to get one. Also, any mon with heat wave is mandatory for doubles, mono fire is the easiest mono type challenge (after water of course) because you can just start with a charmander with a y mega stone and a Torkol and just heat wave the shit out of everyone.
Man I love the DQ soundtrack that plays sometimes on your videos, instantly recognized it at 09:35
the battle music at 7:26 is seared into my brain as hype because of the dozens of hours I overheard two of my roomies playing trails
Emerald Rogue is such a high stress thing, it's ridiculous; also crazy cool though.
Link
I don't know how many more times I can handle being teased by Alpharad with Isaac
Same isaac is in so many thumbnails that have nothing to do with isaac
genuinely one of the most entertaining videos I've seen recently
I always enjoy the music he uses from other games and stuff
"Excadrill ready to pierce the heavens" That was a good one, Jacob
You're on a ROLL Alpharad, keep it up :3
I loved when Alpharad started the game, he said "Its Alpha time" and Alpharaded everyone
I’m a bit late, but using the “Anxiety” track from the OST of Celeste pairs perfectly with what was being talked about and going on at 19:11 in the video. Good choice
Would love to see more with certain challenges, curses, etc that are in the game.
Loved this. My only disappointment was that the finale was not faithful in team build for the battle that never was but buried in the code.
When he called that grass type a bastard, I knew she was destined for greatness
This whole run was the literal definition of "NEVER PUNISHED"
I've never heard of emerald rogue but I love pokemon and I love roguelikes so hell yes
17:14 if this was the anime; this would be one of those cliffhanger scenes where you see the draco meteor heading for Rayquaze and a to be continued pop up. Only for Moltrese to jump in and take the hit. lol.
Honestly glad to see such an underloved pokemon such as ferrothorn get most of the spotlight in this run!
Competitive singles players: 👀
I could see many adjectives applying to ferrothorn. But “underloved” is nowhere near that list 🫠
man new pokemon look so much better on old sprites its crazy
Ayo that second of Trails in the Sky battle music made me so happy
"The only leaders we're scared of are these three" *immediately encounters those three*
That ending was the clutchest shit I have ever seen. Bravo Mr. Rad, bravo.
You have a lot of energy n make very entertaining videos haha can’t turn it off
This has been the best alpharad challenge run vid for sure
Alpharad attempting anything possibly hard is always gonna be funny. We’re in for a treat.
22:40 what is this song? It goes SO HARD!
Truly the drill that will pierce the heavens.
What a run.
This really feels like the accumulation of pokemon knowledge.
Need to know so much more then knowledge of the game you are playing, but rather full knowledge of pokemon in general from move to items to strategy.
Fitting, then, it was Oak at the end.
7:25
Don't think I don't hear that Trails in the Sky music, Jacob! Because I do! And I love it!
