thanks bro
thanks bro
ill use it well alright
Did they not pay enough to have the comment pinned?
I’m a cirkul dude, sorry
This run is just a clear representation of "Strategy and Analytics" vs. "Fuck it, we ball"
Fuck it, we Torch Song
Fuck it, we Surf
fuck it we leach life
Jan really just let Lilligant rock
@@omegaryder7855erm actually Lilligant is a grass type
Jan: "I can u-turn and pivot, but depending on the speed tie, can I survive a crit..."
Alpha: "55 CALM MIND 55 TORCH SONG 55 SOLARBEAM 55 GAME CRASHES"
55 deaths…
Got the reference
Jacob & Jan are like irl Pokémon rivals except they’re both just trying to be Blue.
That is scarily accurate
After watching them make a sandwich, them always trying to "smell each other later" isn't that Farfetch'd.
True
Jacob has the swag but is too nice. Jan has the jerkass attitude but is too meek. Only together do they make the perfect Blue.
Why
Jan
- struggles early
- constant mistakes
- over calculates
- fumbles with sludge item at elite 4
Jacob
- lost the first run
lel
Let's be honest, It balances out.
You forgot lilligant
Also Jacob
-Crashes. A lot
didn't Jan say that that deerling was kinda his fault too 😂
CANNOT get over 5:26 where Jan’s reply said, “yeah I’m mentioning that in my suicide note”😂😂😂
DUDE i was flabberghasted too.
I WAS LOOKING FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO NOTICED LOL
Lollllll u was aboutta comment
I love how he's always committed to show the infamous Onix clip every time
In fairness, it is so unbelievably funny
Notice that the Sabrina wipe was more devastating but the clip isn't used as much, that's because it's nowhere near as funny
He knows he can't let Kidd live that one down.
“What did I say Brayden?!” “WHAT DID I SAY?!” Has been engraved in my memory for a while lol
I cackled as soon as I saw it 😂
Imagine if Jacob and Brayden both died in an accident that was Brayden’s fault, and Jacob’s epitaph read “What did I say Brayden?!”
Jacob leaving Jan high and dry at the "sexiest Pokemon" question had me DEAD 😂😂😂
Jan's knew his lilligant was gonna sweep. He was thinking that far ahead.
He should've asked Alpharad what his favorite Pokemon is
(Edit: If you know the joke then yeah)
@@chrisanarchia7620 It's Absol. The Gardevoir/Vaporeon thing is in the past now
@@KaroxNightshade Well... I'm afraid that still doesn't change the situation.
@@KaroxNightshade thirsting for goths ey lol
I love how Jacob and Jan are the best example of healthy rivalry with too many flirting jokes
Sometimes it's not even jokes 👀
they kissed tho
@@Sonno-Eternahuh
the kissed in the japan vlog at 11:14@@simplyulugbek
@@simplyulugbek There's a split second gag of Alpha getting drunk and kissing Pchal in his Japan trip video.
Jan obviously respects Jacob enough to spend hours playing a nuzlocke with him. But the fact he will never say the words is so goddamn funny!
This, ladies, gentlemen, and esteemed NBs, is called being a tsundere (*‘ω‘ *)
He’s just too edgy
He is just a edgy tsundere
I'm convinced every copy of s/v has its own unique set of glitches. Mine is that sometimes when I do a picnic the table doesnt spawn. So when I try to make a sandwich the ingredients either fall into the void and count as placed or go ragdolling into the void and count as dropped depending on the will of the universe. The only way to fix it is to close and reopen the game. It is incredible to behold. It even happens in multiplayer, my partner and I checked.
Mine is that sometimes I jump and...don't land. It stays like that for about 20 seconds before respawning me
I get both the picnic table one and the stuck mid jump glitches.
Every copy of scarlet/violet is personalized
Mine is basically the speed glitch in early games. If I go “too fast” (aka fly/glide for a long time) for too long the game either crashes or collision turns off and I fly through the void. Reminds me a lot of playing Morrowind with the Boots of Blinding Speed.
yeah, I had pre-ordered my game and I played it the day it was released and I didn't encounter a single glitch so I guess I had a good copy?
I’m so glad the nuzlocke king has really taken poor Jan under his wing. Hopefully Jan takes a few lessons away from this educational experience!
Honestly there both kings in their own right
Jacob inspires me.. My parents said if i get 60K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
@@namantherockstar boring ass bot using the same script since like 2013
beartic warping time and space was probably the best part of the run
Beartic is a paradox
That beartic was a cursed artifact
bro did his best giratina impression
That’s why it’s my favorite mon
That's so funny tbh, Beartic is broken apparently
Jacob: “Have i finally earned your respect?”
Jan: *without hesitation* “No”
it killed me every time 😂😂
should we call an ambulance or are you already dead?
@@marshallwAI No, as we can clearly deduct from his statement, that he has indeed died multiple times, which signifies that an ambulance would not solve his problems. I think it's better to ask how many times he has watched the last 4 sec of the video.
honestly if that run was the first and not the second it might have earned his respect
Jacob inspires me.. My parents said if i get 60K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
@@sp10482 the first time? 4 times
Watching the beartic mystery unfold was like reading a creepypasta.
Outside voice Jan and depressed voice Jacob is an unholy union the world isn't ready for
Jan loves Lilligant, jacob loves Whimsicott. funny how that works out
Jan has great taste
@@animatetrioj1507 Yeah, I can respect it. I don't see Pokémon in that way, but Lilligant is probably my favorite grass Pokémon.
Liligant is cool tbh (imo)
they're so cute together frfr
i guess the differences between Jan and Jacob are _Black and White_
Hearing Jan with and Alpha change voice tones at 10:55 is so cursed, somehow
I love how Alpha gladly refers to himself as the King of Nuzlockes, up until 12:13 when things go wrong, and all of a sudden Jan is now "Mr Pokemon Nuzlocke"
It's because TH-cam once called him the King of Nuzlockes and he let it get to his head
Character development 😂
Jacob and Jan’s rivalry reminds me of siblings trying to prove to their parents that they’re the better child
More like stepsiblings;)
@@markshaw3711WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING 😨😨
Jacob kissed Jan lol@@anomaliexxx
@@markshaw3711PUT THE HORNY AWAY RIGHT NOW
@@markshaw3711How to tell someone has a p*** addiction
I love their struggles with the load-bearing cubchoo. This game is such an experience.
Alpharad: Gets mentioned as Nuzlocke King
Jan: That's going into my will/suicide note
When I saw that in the vid that caught be off guard damn
13th reason why
his 13th reason why
yo, as funny as it is to tell people to kys, suicide is not a joke
to be clear, i meant telling people that youre killing yourself, not telling others, never tell that to others, only yourself
Ok, but the part where you two started talking like each other so SO freaking hilarious. Loved it.
10:48
How is it possible to use that Onix clip as much as it's been without being repetitive? There's just something special about how terrible that death was.
How did it take 3 weeks for someone to reply to THE ITALIAN MEATBALL
How did it take 3 MONTHS for a second reply, though?
Took 9 months for another
took a year for a fourth
13:10 "since hes done being a computer virus-" this one line fucking killed me. no joke nearly choked on my gum from laughing. XD
"Oh, it's You" from a Hat in Time playing while Alpharad is imitating Jan is somehow the funniest thing alive. (10:49)
Who would have thought you two went from enemy's to lovers.
alpharad's japan trip video eleven minutes and fourteen seconds in.
*enemies
Truly ;)
@bentley422 This is why you sit alone at the cafeteria
@@Thegooseishereatlast
*stop it. get some help*
10:04 Hearing Jan's genuine laugh is kinda nice ngl
Glad to see the lads playing a perfectly polished video game with no bugs whatsoever
No bugs? The guy used Lokix the whole time!
@@GardenVarietea that's an insect not a bug
@@taipeijoey101 Hah!
@@taipeijoey101that is in fact, a bug type
Truly, one of the games of 2022.
If I've learned anything from this video, it's that Jan is not used to Gen7 and onward gimmicks, and honestly? I don't blame him.
I've also learned that Beartic is a universe buster. Its mere existence tears apart the fabric of Scarlet and Violet (which albeit, may be an unimpressive feat in the grand scheme of things).
At this point I'm beginning to wonder if I bought the wrong game, because the only real big technical problems I've had in Scarlet and Violet were in online Tera Raids. Otherwise, only some small hiccups and overall way more smooth than I would have been led to believe.
@@gengarzilla1685 Probably have some mods installed.
@@gengarzilla1685Yeah same, I haven't had a single issue in pokemon S/V
Leaving Jan out to dry on the sexiest Pokemon question was comedy gold.
Alpharad being named the best nuzlocker is Jan’s 14th reason why. (His 13th one was Beartic)
Jan flipping onto Jacob's energy is probably the funniest thing ever!
Honestly really enjoy the dynamic between Alpha and Jan! Very fun to watch haha!
my favorite pokemon has been cubchoo for almost a decade, and seeing jacob's cubchoo refuse to evolve made me smile 😭 my baby stays unevolved
2:25, the whole interaction made me laugh so much. Lmao, Pokémon Challenges looked a bit uncomfortable after Alpharad didn’t answer.
Alpharad calling himself the nuzlocke king feels personal
He didn’t, TH-cam did
and Jan took that personally
Solid reference @@lucygirl1111
This video feels like a step by step guide on being passive aggressive
I love how Jan went from being very knowledgeable about Pokemon and telling people what they do wrong... to getting trolled by other TH-camrs
Jan and Alpha doing a random mental energy switch in the middle of the video was traumatizing
I always get jumpscared by the frame rate of scarlet and violet
I mean, if you get jumpscared at the same rate the scarlet and violet runs, your heart will still be racing by the time Alpharad drops another Nuzlocke video.
5:26 I love how it’s perfectly cut off so you can see “ yeah I’m mentioning that In my suicide note” below
Jan pondering on the sexiest pokemon whilst fussing an Igglybuff is just adorable in its own way. 😄
huh?
10:21 clear evidence that GF needs to have a dev cycle longer than a fucking year
Honestly, I'm not even sure if we can really blame GF's short dev time on that. Like, even after almost a full year of people ragging on the game's bugs and glitches, this is the first time I've seen this kind of glitch happen to _anyone._ Odds are that would've slipped through the testing even with a longer dev cycle if it's this rare and unreplicateable.
I can't wait for Jacob and Jan's Pokémon themed wedding, where they both break out the cat ears again 💯
8:34 $60 game from a $92 billion franchise btw
Truly one of the collabs of all time
Fr

You may not have earned his respect, but you did earn his love
Jan runs off years of Pokémon knowledge and experience, alpha runs off divine intervention and comedic timing
"Oh, another SV Soul Link between Jacob and Jan?"
"Ah, nevermind, it's the same run from 9 months ago, with the cursed Beartic and all that."
Best Enemies to lovers video I've seen this year, good work guys!
5:25 slayed me his response is so funny
I was looking to see if anyone else caught that, I was dying of laughter 😂
15:02 never thougth that making a sandwich would have That much sexual tension....
Glad you guys finally had your first date :)
Never ask:
A man his salary
A woman her age
Alpharad what Cubchoo evolves into
5:25 "i'm mentioning that in my suicide note." Is way too funny
I'm not gonna lie; Toxtricity is one of my top favorites of all time, and I didn't know his ability also resisted sound based move....you learn something new everyday.
My favorite part is when alpha said he needed to bring his starter so Jan can use his as if he didn’t just do that same thing in the first two gyms lol
5:50 calm down necrozma is just shedding its skin
Radiata Stories is my favorite video game of all time so o greatly appreciate the OST being played loud and proud starting at 6:47.
Thank you very much! ❤❤❤❤
The most enemies to lovers Nuzlocke ever
That fucking Onix clip is a cornerstone of your career as a Poketuber. It's not even an in-joke you can't live down, at this point it's part of your foundation. The narrative of your journey back into Pokemon as an adult starts from that moment.
Which just find really funny, because that incredible fuckup is in retrospect the best career decision you could have made in that moment.
Man, i love how Jacob coaches Jan as a creator as Jan coaches (or coached) Jacob. Man didnt know what he started in that nuzlocke reaction video.
I find it funny how every Soul-link Nuzlocke that Jacob is a part of, his partner will always unreasonably struggle as he breezes through while Lady Luck awaits in his chambers. Jaiden and Jan had to fight tooth and nail to get their way whereas Jacob just wins uncontested🤣🤣
hi scp guy
Cubchoo's one of my favorite pokemon, and the idea that it has an evolution (which it doesn't) is outrageous, glad to see the games follow my belief 8:50
God I love when these two collab. It's extremely endearing.
Man I love y'alls relationship arc haha. But mainly that you seem to legit have fun.
“WHAT DID I SAY BRADEN?!!!!” Will never get old
perfect ratio of rival-ing to genuine hyping jan. it always feels fun between you two, love that!
Jacob: "im good at nuzlockes"
Everyone: "Editor, play the clip"
Jacob and Jan, the sweetest collab ever
Beartic, the hacker of games, destroyer of nuzlockes, almost destroyed Alpha’s game.
Regarding Alpha’s Lokix against Geeta, no Pokémon on her team resists Bug (except Glimmora, but it always Teras away it’s resistance), and every Pokémon that’s neutral to Bug is weak to Fighting. So you only need 2 types to have complete super-effective coverage for her whole team. (And Alpha’s Lokix has moves for both those types)
I honestly really enjoyed the energy between you two. Very comedic would love to see more duo-plays between you two
Jacob: I don’t find Pokémon attractive
Also Jacob: Vapeoreon on the team with water absorb.
13:41 no way jacob just use "get over the barrier" music. Guess jan is the final barrier for jacob to be the nuzlock master
keep in mind that Pokémon is the most successful franchise in human history, and this is the game they put out. 9:00
I mean logically this could’ve happened with a longer dev time anyway bc like, this is the only time a glitch like that has occurred I think
10:32 someone said shrodingers beartic
We need a whole stream/video where Jan and Alpha switch personalities lmfao
2:38
Jan, I now have deep respect and nothing more for choosing Lilligant as your answer. As a Lilligant enjoyer myself, it is such a honor to have my favorite be called and dubbed “The Sexiest Pokémon ever in your opinion”. Any Pokémon who was on the chats mind, get out of here. Only Lilligant fans, Jan, and me be happy.
14:51 this is exactly how i lost my shiny voltorb. apparently, in multiplayer sessions, if you run from a pokemon, it just disappears. im still salty over it
Found your channel through Jan’s reaction vids ages ago, super happy to see the soul link collab come together over the past year
The character arc between these two over the years has to be a favorite of the Pokemon community at this point
Man, Alpha will never let that onyx clip die
11:04 Sanji san
Hello, Humans
Riddle me this - what has one head, blinks, but never goes out into the sun?
TERRANCE OUT
5:26 bro really said “I’m putting that one in my suicide note 💀”
9:40 This has to be the most unique glitch I've ever seen in my life....
The rivalry never stops being funny
Jacob is so clever. Creating hype with the kiss clip and posting this video and the japan vod.
5:25 "yeah im mentioning that in my suicide note" IM DEAD LMAOO💀💀
HE USED THE THEATER VANCOOR THEME FROM RADIATA STORIES! The child in me is in tears with joy.
They should definitely fight the AI Professor in these challenges
but then you have to keep playing more of Scar/Vio
@@misirtere9836what’s wrong with that there probably the best Pokémon games
People are so hung up on the bugs that they refuse to see the good game beneath it. Shit, even _with_ the bugs, this game beats XY, SM, and SwSh hands down.
@@woopersupremacy6081 reported for hate speech
@@isaackaumeyer6847 why did you report me?
Can’t have a nuzlocke video without the obligatory onix mention
Alpha truly is the definition of pettiness
5:24
“i still cant believe youtube called me the nuzlocke king”
“im mentioning that in my suicide note”
just wanted to mention that when Alpha showed the dm of him telling Jan abt the nuzloke king thing, Jan said he was putting that in his self unalive note
I love the extended sequence of how this games bugs have not improved in the slightest even after a year of patches. Highest grossing franchise in the world btw.
21:26 is the best part of the video though....
This video has single-handedly reassured me purchasing Scarlet and Violet is still a bad idea. 💀
