#pokemon #pokemonchallenges #nuzlocke
Seeing Jan's heart finally grow three sizes and become sympathetic towards his pokémon is so cathartic.
Pokegrinch
Bro turned from Ghetsis to N
i swear he discovers that an underrated pokemon is actually good every challenge
@@MetaknighttheloneswordsmanThat's actually a perfect analogy
@@Metaknighttheloneswordsman from paul to ash
He’s finally growing emotion, alpharad lost all his emotion in his “perfect nuzlocke” and now Jan is growing emotion now, it’s beautiful
alpharad's emotions died so Jan's emotions could live
Alpharda lost emotions to win while Jan lost but grew a heart
jan took alpha's emotions in the divorce
Now it is time for the big clash where they confront each other with their philosophies reversed. Jan trying to reach out to Alphas emotions, while Alpha rejects friendship
Oh my god they’re switiching sides! HOLY SHI-!?!
Jan finally found that Nuzlockes are really the friends we made along the way.
Man the friends we made along the way must be psychopaths if that's the case
More like "the friends we LOST along the way" lol
@@SA00Toad that would be the pixels on the screen also known as Pokémon in the Nuzloke
a mon often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it
My friends, too, die when I use them in battle.
Seeing Jan going from a heartless proffesional nuzlocker who won't hesitate to sacrifice or reset at a small inconvenience to an actually caring trainer that tries his best to preserve all pokemon if possible is truly a character arc we needed
And alpha doing the exact opposite as well
Loves how he changes the plot because he can’t upload video of him winning
@@zac-wd5vw He uploaded a video of him beating this game a month ago. This was actually the easy run because the game got updated and made harder after this run.
@@celestirr this was his first attempt at this game. This game is brand new.
@@zac-wd5vwYeah, that's how stories are written. The alternative is suddenly getting cocky when you're winning because that's the first time you know you've already beat the run, better use the confident persona when you're confident, and when you know you'll falter you won't be
jan's story telling and editing has gotten so so much better ever since his feud/collab with alpharad. the newer video's quality has gotten noticably higher. good shit man
People turning pokemon videos like it's the yugioh anime and the fate of the world relies on the game with those cringy video narrations.
I don't like it sry. I prefer the old videos.
@@ZER0lPTI’m split on that, I guess I’ll prefer the dramatic retellings of runs as long as the drama is real and not exaggerated lol
true
@@ZER0lPTI hate fun 🤓
@@ZER0lPTdang. People recounting their stories in an entertaining fashion is something you dislike?
... bye.
That ending was phenomenal. Not just the dialogue, but subtly showing the encounter and death of his final six Pokémon…
Chef’s kiss
I didn't even realize until seeing your comment. Showing when he caught them followed by how they died, truly blessed.
Jan your scripts have become absolutely fire
yooo moxie
Don't bother, he doesn't even read comments, lol.
The dynamic duo assembled again xD
He proved that one's love get stronger with the hard times
You’re one to talk, Moxie!!! 🥰
I love how Jan and alphas narratives in their scripts are developing together, but going in opposite ways of each other. Jan starting to learn emotion and to not just reset whenever it goes wrong, whereas alpha starting to lose humanity, becoming cold and calculating in his runs
In a morbid way this reminds me of Red and Green's final battle in the first arc of the manga.
Literally the Chimera Ant Arc from Hunter X Hunter with Meruem and Gon's characters
Reminds me of the character arcs of Kiritsugu and Kirei from Fate Zero. A man slowly becoming a machine, and a machine slowly becoming a man.
Really liked this comment but the cursed number was my like number so imma leave this here instead!!
I think its like that for a lot of things. Like anime, movies, food, games, etc. A cycle of using feelings-logic-feelings to determine things.
You startout doing things for the sake of doing it, for enjoyment, and for the journey. It all feels like an adventure. You achieve or reach a moment of greatness. An amazing feeling. It becomes a core memory to you.
You chase that high again. Optimizing everything, reviews, spreadsheets, guides, testwatching, data. You prioritze speed over experience because the more times you do it, the more chances you can achieve it again.
Then you remember that it wasnt like that the first time you felt it. You dial back you slow down. You try to enjoy it your way again. Now you reach an even higher appreciation for the crafts you admire, especially after learning all about it.
That final bit of monologue about the innate desire of people to tell stories is just simply magical.
yes totally.
I quite liked it but wonder if it's genuine
@DarkFlame117 does it matter? Does it have to be genuine to speak to a truth within the human spirit, and encapsulate the spirit of this doomed run?
This is like that one arc where the jaded "people are just tools" protagonist learns to care again.
God I love this, the stark difference from the cold calculated indifference of a sacrifice. Funny since Alpharad literally made a nuzlocke where he does the opposite and uses the pokemon like tools.
this script is incredible, the camperupt going from the worst encounter possible in the area to a run-saver many times over is such a good story
Honestly i really think there is a big content glow up recently but the thing is, it was already really good to begin with but the storytelling those last videos where really top-notch.
bro the video released 16 minutes ago you havent even watched it
edit: at the time u commented this it was released 4 minutes ago
I always liked the content but you could definitely tell he wasn’t really..passionate about it? Before it felt like he was making scripts out of necessity for some commentary over the gameplay, but now it feels like he WANTS to write a story about his gameplay and he’s definitely enjoying it
rumour has it jan locked alpharad in his basement writing his scripts
@@cowwith4ws656yo so yay i did comment in 4 minutes but i was getting the Vibe from the first 4 minutes that what i said would be valid, he wouldn't have gone full New storytelling mode for the videos the last 3 month and the beginning of this one to give up Midway through the video so i was confidant about what i said even in 4 minutes.
@@SarahSoupster he doesn't write the script, he outsourced it to someone else, which is fine
Your acting and storytelling abilities have developed into something astounding, even if it can feel a bit cheesy, that's the kind or unapologetic raw emotion we're missing in a lot of media lately
it's okay if it's a little cheesy sometimes, unless you're lactose intolerant
THIS IS ART.
The ending scene, although somber, is bittersweet. Despite the run coming to an end, the bonds that we have made and the memories that we've gained will forever be with us till our last breath.
o7s
35:05 "I'm not going to play around the fucking crit" is such a raw and powerful line from the person responsible for "playing around the crit" becoming more widespread
Dude this video is so fun to watch, I love how Jan’s storytelling has gotten better as he’s grown bigger and started learning from other people while still keeping his content as HIS!! Also, not to mention, it’s fun seeing Jan having his own Pachirisu tanking a Draco meteor moment with togedemaru carrying the early game
the story telling in this video went up to jayden's platinum nuzlocke level.
Jan rediscovering the meaning of Christma- I mean Nuzlockes was not what I expected with this challenge run but damn if it wasn't great. Absolute banger of a video
This is one the best nuzlocke videos I've ever seen. Jan has grown so much as a youtuber and storyteller 🥺
Honestly?
This is where you shine PChal. When you survive despite the odds!
that's what makes nuzlockes so fun tbh, resetting when you think you have no chance goes against the spirit of it imo lol. gotta fight til the end, you might be surprised at who shines in the end
This run and this video have to be the best things I have watched on TH-cam. That's why pChal can take idk how long breaks and come back seamlessly. He's the best Nuzlocker in the world maybe not literally, but in his own way
He has stream highlight channel that posts more regularly for less scripted and less all in one story videos. So you can watch chopped up and lightly edited runs there :) that's what I do :)
The fact that he spends so much of the video sounding so desperate instead of being so professional and objective is a pleasant change and is so relatable for us amateur nuzlockers
Watching this run with more and more limited resources was one of the most entertaining gameplay I have ever seen.
I hope you‘ll get back into this mod at a later point
Truely. Despite the misplays and bad rng that started the spiral. Once he was in it I don't think he's played better.
Jan’s narration here is gripping omg, it’s like he’s pulling me in as I’m on the edge of my seat. Seeing his attachment to his Pokémon is so heartwarming and THE ENDING?? The monologue about story and tragedy as we see each of his teammates die and the fucking line about feeling free for just one day THAT WAS INSANE.
This is a total pivot but I am loving the messy shaggy longer hair btw.
Gotta say your ad reads have been less skippable since Alpharad dogged on you.
The storytelling in this video is really out of this world. The will to keep on going into the face of death makes it even more like a old greek tale and the end that is shown only if you really watch carefully makes this really something different. I have seen so many nutzlocks so many fails and epic moments but this is not just a nutzlock this is a masterpiece!
This video is like when an anime has an arc that teaches the villain about love and friendship
That ending made me legitimately cry, it was so sweet... I love this so much. 💜
When Jan and Alpha are becoming more like each other.
And somehow both improved because of it
The greatest rivalries promote the greatest growth
@@aaronrodriguez4159 the naruto and sasuke of pokemon youtube
@@aaronrodriguez4159iron sharpens iron
@@andrewworks2551 I mean.... Technically a whetstone. But I'll give you a pass. You seem a decent fellow. Lol
So moral of the story is
You miss 100% of the shots you dont take
Even if the situation isnt perferct, one can find a way to bring it back
jan has learned many things recently, how to be more optimistic, how to make an intro.. but most of all, he finally cares for is team. what a video
The amount of risk taking in this run had my toes curling at points LMAO
This story is ABSOLUTELY worth telling and retelling, it's the rebirth of a nuzlocker. It has been a while since I was so eager to follow your progress in a run, and I cannot wait for Run and Bun to be back❤
32:30 Jan finally realizing he went through his own "Gary Oak" arc. All he's missing is the convertible car full of babes.
The redemption arc from this Pokémon antagonist has got to be my favorite one yet!
That ending, when you showed all of your remaining pokemon dying, had some attack on titan type feel to it. Like, even with their sacrifiices, you will continue to move on. Their deaths weren't meaningless, because it is the ones who live on, who give them meaning.
Damn, I feel like this was one of your best videos, just because of the sheer emotional arc. Great job with everything, but especially the scriptwriting.
The journey of a man who viewed pokemon as tools learning to see them as friends... Beautiful
After watching this saga on pchal daily I’ve been so excited for the main channel video to come out, 🔥 as always
Jan has masterfully crafted this narrative in a way few truly could have. His storytelling has massively improved needless to say he has easily become one of my favorite content creators of all time
Its always a treat to get to watch pchal main channel vids. Its so awesome to see how the daily videos turns into a storyline. Thank you
This video is a masterpiece, it has it all - the cool strats, the twists, the emotions. You've really come a long way in storytelling and it's always so entertaining to watch your videos
This makes me want to do another nuzlocke so bad. Hell it makes me want to start streaming a nuzlocke, simply to experience this level of hype
That ad read, I can relate to that. I've had times where i remember something and search and search but can never find it. It always drives me crazy when i know something happened but no matter how long I search, where i search, or what terms i use to search for it. I can never find it and end up giving up
An absolute banger of a video. In terms of pure storytelling probably the best you ever made.
28:24 "Im smiling? Why am I smiling?" Thats such a a goated Anime-esque line haha
What a banger video. And somehow the fights and strategies become even more interesting when your options are so limited. I enjoyed every second even after already watching all of it on the daily channel
Jacob becoming a extremely calculated and indifferent player and having a crisis about it, Jan becoming a more compationate and play with luck more. Quite the duality we have here
Your storytelling in this video honestly is just as good, if not better, than several alpharad vid's. from complimenting his story work to making something on par with it, this video was phenomenal great work
And thanks to Run&Bun, Jan's love for his Pokémon grew three sizes that day.
Literal goosebumps at the end, you have become such a good scriptwriter
That ending montage is absolute perfection -- great, bittersweet storytelling
The best Pchal video ever, by a country mile. That ending affected me.
This is your best video yet. My level of English does not reach the full extent of magnificence this video expresses but it is truly remarkable.
Nuzlockes are meant to be played like this and this video in particular is a love letter to that concept.
Recently found your videos, and you totally destroyed my perspective about Pokemon games... and I thank you for that. I used to playing pokemon by leveling up only 1 starter (often Charzizard or Blaziken) and beat the crap out of E4 within 1 day, it's kind of lame and I drop it around gen 5. But after few videos of your, You reignite my flame inside of me and suddenly I feel pokemon isn't just that simple game. I'm trying Radical Red recently and oh boy it fuk me up real good. But I change from all 4 mono type Fire-move Charzizard to Dragon Dance Feraligatr with cover type move. I know I have a long way to go even before my first Nuzlocke, but I have to say thank you to you, for opening a new whole game for me.
P.s: At least I know that never switch Onix to fight Jynx.
Something I like is how, after going over all the different fights that should have been run-enders that he nonetheless beat, he doesn't actually talk about the fight that actually ended the run. I think that actually adds to the theme of the video quite nicely.
one of my personal favorite pchal scripts/stories and I watched the whole thing on daily really excellent plot development 10/10
there's something especially sad about the fact that the run where jan finally starts to care about his pokemon is also the run doomed to fail, he gained the ability to feel sad about their deaths just in time to experience them...
anyway on to the next run-
Maybe one of my favorite videos in a while. This was so fun to watch live and you definitely capture the energy!
ngl, the Jan story arc has always been under the surface. Every time Jan ever talked about people's Nuzlocke rules, it was always with the goal of having fun. "Hey I play this way because I find it more enjoyable, you may find that to be true later, or not and that's chill." Jan didn't talk down to people during their runs, he was giving advice so that they could try again and enjoy the game with newfound information. Jan has always done nuzlockes for fun, it's just that the most fun part of it has changed.
24:02 the most heartwarming smile this man has ever shown us in his life.
8:11 yooo I didn’t notice the sword the first time. This video has some sick editing
Found two more: 8:51 and 11:07
The thumbnails and intros have gotten so much better man so happy to see the glow up. Also the editors have been killing it as well keep it up.🙏
The dissonance between the dramatic music of Jan talking about his epic journey vs the Gen 3 battle music was so unintentionally funny
While the TH-cam algorithm is kinda weird in what it suggests when binging your content, this video is one of your bangers in my opinion. :D
Really like the positive attitude towards a singular run and attempt, not going for the W of the whole thing but enjoying the ride instead.
Sure, some rides won't be as great. But this one with the great narrative keeping up the tension? I hope you'll have more challenging Pokemon Runs to do that you'll enjoy, so that footage for vids like this exist. :D Just don't torture urself too much, the single runs need to be enjoyable too.
‘The Zombified corpse of run number one ambles onwards. Let’s see how far I can drag it.’
Jan’s scriptwriting is insane oh my god
Incredible rise in storytelling skills from you the last few videos Jan, incredible job!
The cold and calculating villain of the story suddenly getting a change of heart at death's door and started cherishing what's left of his beat and battered team, becoming a dead man walking begging for 1 more fight before it all comes tumbling down.
I also like how the vid didn't even show how the run ends, it just expects the viewer to know that this run is dead ass dead, but how many more fights does this dying man and his rag tag team has left? No one knows...
This is my favorite video you’ve ever done. Amazing work, man.
This is prolly the best nuzlocke video ive ever seen, its so well edited, the script is amazing, and jan having fun in it makes it all come together to for an amazing video
that ending hit just right, very profound look at why nuzlockes are so special ❤
Imagine a Pokémon mod where as soon as you enter an area.
All the active trainers move towards you as you walk.
They would be a terrifying addition to a Nuzlocke
still a masterpiece of a run even fi ends in a tragedy
This has always been the intention of the Nuzlocke challenge. There’s a reason “Nickname your Pokémon,” is often considered a rule.
It’s about attachment, and subsequent loss. This has always been what the soul of the Challenge has been. It’s why the progenitor was presented in a (humorous and tongue-in-cheek, but still earnest) comic format.
It’s about the story of struggle. It’s about dealing with the hands dealt.
I appreciate the optimizing, strategic, surgical approach Jan usually takes- but this? This is what a Nuzlocke was always supposed to be.
This game is so fun to watch, I can't wait to go to pchal daily and see the next attemp... oh
Soon (tm)
this video might be the first time in recorded history that a nuzlocker has been saved by the world's luckiest effect spore
Pchal, I want you to know we see and appreciate these fire thumbnails!
"Tied with a bunch of forgettable mons" shows a list on screen including Eevee and Pincurchin
32:35 the moment Jan learns that "optimal" doesnt mean "only way to do it" lol
The time to emphasize the quality of storytelling and to get us equally invested into these pixels on your screen is nothing but seriously and un-ironically inspiring. The fact that the phrase “the friends we’ve made along the way” is one of the many truest takeaways you can have from the story is the testament to the origins of nuzlockes as you mentioned and I think that’s a beautiful story to tell.
The script in these videos has been getting better and better, and the unintentional foreshadowing of you talking about the snowball effect in nuzlockes with this video perfectly showing exactly why a snowball is dangerous, what an amazing watch
It's so weird to hear Jan actually emoting and having expression when he narrates. But that's a good thing bc I'm also full of feels
the friendship-rivalry with alpharad shows content getting better
Pchal decided to make his character arc learning how to have fun playing video games and I don’t think he gave enough credit to how funny that is
Jan R&B attempt 1: "I'm forming an emotional connection to these pixels on my computer screen"
Jan R&B attempt 3: MONKE
10:12 that leaf storm animation is sick, and god I did not expect it to hit that hard even with the crit
The way you talk through the strategy of the battle is so great, these videos are some of my favorite
Watching this video again, I realized that this might be my favorite Pokémon video on TH-cam
That Gigalith was the John Kuhn of this run. Need 2 yards for a 1st down? He'll get you 3. Need 4? He'll get you 3
This is such a beautiful video, not just in seeing how Jan's perspective has shifted, but it's like seeing the bored, overpowered character being so excited to face a challenge again
Love the use of the deaths door music
Jan really became Undertaker this run carrying the names and souls of his fallen comrades as far as he could go.
I would watch the heck out of a full run where Jan actually gets attached to his pokemon and is actually gets sad when they feint.
One thing i love here is the reminder that nuzlockes were made to tell stories and have fun. In a space that has become more and more about competition and elitism, its really nice to see this.
Jan forming bonds with his Pokemon after converting Alpharad into a Heartless Pro Nutzlocker is just ironic
This is the exact opposite of the arc alpharad went through
"The zombified corpse of Run #1 ambles on. Let's see how far I can *d r a g* it"
Holy the way Jan said that got me feelin' some type of WAY
Jan going through this emotional journey of growth and realization has the same but opposite energy of Jacob discovering that he's a good Nuzlocker and is doing damage calcs and coming up with backup strats rather than simply doing it for the bit lmao
The sheer joy and sorrow you can hear in Jan’s voice in this video is amazing. I think Jan has realized a passion for finding the win conditions in hopeless matchups and I hope we see more of that come through in the future. There’s just something so rewarding about having a scuffed team and going “I’m gonna MAKE this work”
