Surf is such a benefit to water pokemon in the early gens. A 95 base power 100 accuracy move with no drawback that hits both opponents in double battles and you can teach it as many times as you want.
Surf is great in doubles especially gen 3 because it doesn't hurt any pokes on your side of the field, only the enemies. Great move for pokemon colleseum and XD. Sadly that changed in gen 4 but still a great move in the main game. "Rise at surf!"
@@sofiana580 not necessarily. While I get your point, sometimes ppl just have limited time for games and watching youtube (my case), that’s why I usually watch during my 20 minutes breakfast. Longer videos usually can be hard to watch due work and academics.
Allowing for Dratini (and Trade Evolutions. And the National Dex), you could have a decently diverse team. Gyarados Dragonite Starmie Poliwrath Kingdra Muk (Fished in the Celadon Pond) Not terrible. Poliwrath to more easily beat Ice types, Muk for Grass types, Dragonite and Kingdra help against Electric... Not amazing, but not terrible.
This might as well have been a Grayados only run. I mean it's possible to do a Magicarp run all the way, albeit grinding all the way to level 100 and using items in battle all the way through, but Gyarados is strong enough to do it without items in battle.
Love the short video format, no reason to drag out these kinda vids for an hour.. always seem to lose interest around the 30 min mark. Gained a subscriber 😊
thought i'd clarify tho, the fishlocke was done in a drayano rom hack which gives you the old rod at the start of the game pretty much, then i played the game in traditional nuzlocke fashion (but only fishing encounters)
I liked it, interesting idea. Just bare in mind your competition is outputting at the 30-45 mins on average. You got a sub, looking forward to seeing where you go from here.
@@silentbobfan32 that is indeed true, I must admit the brief format was certainly interesting, guess I was just expressing a personal preference. I tend to listen to Pokémon runs in a podcast background style, as they’re easy to follow without the visuals.
Idk i think actually allowing Dratini could have been interesting. As it is kinda just a mono water run so adding that little bit of type diversity could be fun. Could have also made a cute little story line out of it like Dragonair being an underperformer all game then at the last minute in the league it evolves and finishes the final fight. Overall though fun idea and while it probably wasn't super challenging you made it entertaining, good stuff.
@@testerwulf3357 i mean sure but it would only be for like the last few fights of the entire game. and it's not like this challenge was a struggle at all anyway, would have just been some neat variety to have Dragonair there a few times.
I got leaf green first then a couple months later got firered and my parents made me give leaf green to my sister. I always felt like I, and everyone else left leaf green behind. Like to see it getting some love
Kinda obvious yes. Water Pokemon in gen1 are awesome. Gyarados is hard to get but a powerhouse. Starmie has excellent special attack and defense. Cloysteris another powerhouse. Kingler is another hard hitter. You’d have to be an inexperienced player to think this would be remotely hard
I really liked the video, it was a really interesting idea that not many poketubers would have done. One bit of constructive criticism though, and it's more a personal thing for me which others might not agree with, but I think the video is too short. There is a lot of content you're putting into a 10 minute long video and for a nuzlocke that might not be a good thing.
Why does everyone refer to that guy as "selling an overpriced Magikarp"? Yes, I am aware Magikarp is a joke, both figuratively and I think literally on a certain level, but you know what? That little fish can be evolved fairly early into an absolute monster of a pokemon in Gyarados. So you essentially get a Gyarados for $500 and a little work. I'm aware that in terms of game mechanics, we can normally get a Magikarp every time we turn around by fishing basically anywhere with the most basic of rods. But considering that in terms of the actual Pokemon world, you're essentially getting an early Gyarados within a couple of hours of starting your journey if you want... It just doesn't feel like an overall bad deal to me, certainly not overpriced
It is overpriced as it’s too common of a pokemon to be worth that much..and you have to painfully evolve it yourself, it’s not close to evolving! If it WAS a gyarados I’d agree on the price..but a MAGIKARP? It’s worth more than pokeballs?! You’re also thinking about it as if the man was looking for US to sell it too. He’s selling it to ANYONE! For a new trainer it’s useful but to a higher experienced one?? Nah, they’re catching their own 😂 who paying 500 for it Paying 500 for a magikarp would be like if I tried to sell you a can of worms 🪱 for 300$ 😭
Honestly, I appreciate trying to do this legit, but just start with a level 20 Gyardos. You don’t need to waste your life grinding just for the sake of it.
Say he won't use dratini for power creep reason Proceeds to use equally powerful as dragonite pokemon so early in game without the drawbakc of slow growth rate -
Gyarados is still in the slow exp group, but yeah. Though to be fair, his Gyarados was mostly operating off its weaker special attack stat with bite and surf.
@@kyklous3657 yeah but but ain't getting gyara stats with dragonair at the level will be at Sure he has poor options but seriously when you hit them super effective it goes smooth
I prefer the shorter format, some other poketubers just drag the whole playthrough out for an hour and its hard to watch - this is much easier to digest

For real!
thats because your attention span was destroyed by tik tok and instagram shorts

Good Job! I really enjoyed the video.
Nice video! I enjoyed it.
Good video i really enjoyed the job
Great video!
just subscribed, thanks for the entertainment on my lunch break. love these games
Great video man! The video wasn't overdrawn like others making it entertaining to watch
I am definitely subscribing!!
Really great challenge idea, great video man!
Imo 6 gyarados'es could just sweep the e4
Keeping magikarp and banning Gyarados would have been way more interesting
oh I requested only water type pokemon in your previous vid. I haven't checked it yet. this is so cool. love it man
This channel definitely needs more subs for the production being given
Liked it. Straight to the point. Subbed. 🤘🤘
great video i hope to see more unique challenges not just boring nuzlockes with mono types
so, no you can't beat the game just by ONLY fishing

You will recah your destination
did this a couple years back at my own leisure (i called it a 'fishlocke'), im glad you made this video

Pretty entertaining video to watch! I also liked your fast-paced video format.
I'd love to watch an all normal type party run!😂
Nice❤🎉
I just sub really great video 👏👏
What a great video , loved the pace of it and no farting about , deserves way more views 👍. Would love to see a “gift Pokémon only” challenge 🤩.
looks like i am your 100th subscriber.
Ngl this was actually a really good video
Subscribed!
Great video and editing
fire video
You could beat the entire game with that gyarados that you didn’t even fish for
You earned a new subscriber
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your videos are short
It makes them interesting too
So that wouldve been a huge advantage
Bro you should also try some fan made rom hacks btw great video ❤
Great video dude omw to play my copy of leaf green

Bro how?! You deserve like 100 k subs
Really appreciate the paced format
Want more of these. Subbed fosho ✌
7:55 i don't know if you know this but by using a Pokéflute all the pokemon on the battlefield will wake up.
i'm surprised at how little subscribers this channel has! this is some pretty good content :] liked and subscribed!
Yes, Edwardo, I believe you can. More importantly I believe in YOU.
Honestly shocked yo don’t have more attention
what a great time to have a pokemon hyperfixation
Subscribes , nice way to show runs

Yeah that's why rival have bulbasur
What no he choosed squirtle. Why would his rival have a bulbasaur if he chose Charmander

You can actually teach thunderbolt to starmie
Leaf Green doesn’t get much attention compared to Fire Red. Thanks for covering it
I got leaf green first then a couple months later got firered and my parents made me give leaf green to my sister. I always felt like I, and everyone else left leaf green behind. Like to see it getting some love
Always wanted to beat this game as a water trainer only
Not sure if you take video ideas but a Platinum run where you get a random pokemon before each gym would be sick
Nice video i really enjoyed it. TH-cam randomly recommended it to me. I will leave a sub
it might have been better to just mod the game to make your starter be a lvl 5 magikarp so you got to start with that until you get the rods
If comments are good video is going to be good and what that means you deserve a sub
starmie and gyarados are able to learn thunderbolt..... i feel that would have helped
Kingler slander will not be tolerated
I was hoping that you would have a team of 6 gyrados and just destroy the e4
Can you do a challenge but only using 2 stage Pokémon only
Kinda obvious yes. Water Pokemon in gen1 are awesome.
Gyarados is hard to get but a powerhouse.
Starmie has excellent special attack and defense.
Cloysteris another powerhouse.
Kingler is another hard hitter.
You’d have to be an inexperienced player to think this would be remotely hard

I liked the shorter run format
Okay but how come I've played the emulator of pokemon leaf green and fire red like 100x and I never knew you could buy a magikarp there
Realizing you could have gotten Dratini and really had an OP team is too depressing. Still, shows how great water types are
What was that random meowth
I don't know why but water types are so interesting.... Maybe because they're more rare?
YOU BEAT ME TO IT I HAVE THIS RECORDED ALREADY WHEN YOU SEE MY VIDEO

Surprised you didn't teach Starmie Thunderbolt for more type coverage. Not that you needed it in the end
What about Brock?
Honestly, I appreciate trying to do this legit, but just start with a level 20 Gyardos. You don’t need to waste your life grinding just for the sake of it.
Disappointment lack of time spent watching you struggle with Magikarp… half the reason I clicked on the video 😅
actually you could have caught dratini in safari zone
Say he won't use dratini for power creep reason
Proceeds to use equally powerful as dragonite pokemon so early in game without the drawbakc of slow growth rate -

Bro you better catch a dragonare
Why did you not fish for dratini in the safari zone
He said he can't fish for dratini in the beginning
510 subscriber...you gonna make big , mark my words
I prefer the shorter format, some other poketubers just drag the whole playthrough out for an hour and its hard to watch - this is much easier to digest
I'd say use mods or cheats for fish pokemon could get any rod at start of game
Bro banned dratini and going to get an OP gyrados this challenge is easy plus you can go back to home town grind the karp till it evolve 😂😂😂
Bro forgot tochallenge brock
Where is Dratini?? :0
He said in the starting that he will not use dratini bcz it makes the game too easy
why dont u catch dragonair on Safari
Did u watch the rules
Dratini isn't op till lvl 55 so you shouldn't have to ban it
i dont understarnd why u dont catch a dragonite
It's because the Dragon type is one of the best types prior to Generation Six with the introduction of the Fairy type and would make the challenge too easy, which is why he didn't use it.
4:00 you have meowth which is not get by fishing
This is may be used for HM's
Starmie is definitely not a cool pokemon wtf 😂
