Honsetly the golden age of Nuzlockes imo were when people used to post litte comics on forumns and a few of them did animations for big important battles like this. The only time a nuzlocke is really enjoyable to me is when it's done with art. Watching actual gameplay is pretty boring imo
@@rosec_rose6661 I watched it years ago as well. I don't even know how long ago it was when i watched it... Sadly i didn't make a comment back then to know how long it's been
@@Mysticfateee Yeah in other games like Fire Emblem I like watching people optimize challenge runs but somehow it's really not enjoyable for Nuzlockes. Maybe because the original comic and all the ones from the late 2000s/early 2010s were so narrative driven
In addition... In Gen I... Ghost wasn't strong aganist Psychic Psychic WAS IMMUNE to it! Plus... Non-existence of Dark type and Bug type being pathetically weak... Welp... Psychic type was OP as hell
@@Oscarus4250 Not that it would have mattered much if psychic actually was weak to ghost. Gen 1 damaging ghost moves were pretty much just lick and night shade.
@@skycastrum5803 Now when you mention it... Everything you said is true but one fact Night Shade in Gen I wasn't affected by any type match-ups. But since it works like Seismic Toss, so... It's pretty much useless
@@Oscarus4250 Once tried Jolteon's Pin Missile since it had the special to survive a Psychic or two. Was better off just having a Chansey with Seismic Toss.

A game from a relatively unknown developer, influenced by childhood memories, delayed for years, packed with bugs and balancing issues, and a genre that had a niche market in the US. And it somehow became a multibillon dollar franchise
I love this because of the animation which gives this 90s to early 2000s feeling, like ren and stimpy, cow and chicken, fairly odd parents, plus its pokemon, and it projects perfect nostalgia. GG, you deserve to be the champion
This animation is so rough around the edges 11 years later but it’s still so stylish, goofy, and cool. Hope these years have you found well, thanks for making something great.
+martijn van weele well, not hard to do, if you even consider pokemon an anime. I personally like the Pokemon games but the anime sucks and the plush toys/action figures/TCG are just ripoffs for money.
I remember doing this to my magikarp, put it in the daycare and kinda forgot about it. After catching a doduo in the safari zone I just remembered and came back for it............. It was LEVEL 41
But like...this is one of the most solid teams I've ever seen. Nuzlocke aside, I 100% want to use this team. They cover each other so well, I am in physical pain.
Good god, I can't stop re watching this! The animation style is so unique, and this song that plays during it makes it more bad ass. I love the animation cause it reminds me of older cartoons back in the older times, you know, back when cartoons were actually good. Plus this team looks very awesome ^^
@@novacraft257 Slowbro is water and psychic type, he sed psychic before attack and psychic type is super effective against poison type that Aghata uses. Enough?
So lets go down the elite 4 list... ice types are one of the worst types in general, fighting is weak to psychic and all of agathas pokemon are poison type therefore weak to psychic. Then lances dragon types are just neutral both ways :P
@@flamingrubys11 That's not the glitch. Gengar line's stuck with the Poison secondary type that's weak to Psychic. The actual bug is that instead of being weak to Ghost moves, Psychic types were immune in gen 1! Although it really doesn't matter since the only ghost move in gen 1 was Lick. Night Shade doesn't count, it ignored typing entirely.
everyone who got to the pokemon league for the first time got fucking nervous, but you took the aventure witch so much confidence..... awesome job and awesome video
+YackoMM I was never particularly nervous about the elite four as a kid, since there really wasn't anything to lose I was always just going in over and over until I won. But now that I do nuzlockes I get panic attacks every time a pokemon uses revenge.
