Hey everyone! Two things: 1.) I'm sorry I haven't uploaded in like a month, but there's A LOT of issues that I had with videos in that they were either not entertaining enough for me, or just too hard to complete in a small time frame. I appreciate you guys for sticking around, and there's PLENTY more on the way. 2.) I've been streaming almost every day on my Twitch account, and I'm going to be doing LIVE CHALLENGES on there after I'm done with my nuzlocke. I usually stream at 4:30 EST! 3.) The audio corrupted for part of the voiceover, so I'm sorry I sound like a robot through parts of it :/ Anyways, have a great day! :)
@Crxsseyed1 I would argue it's not the same. It's essentially like going to a different biome and using weather moves. It only changes things very superficially. Seasons were more in-depth, at least in how they felt.
Phil 21 Most people don’t think Gen 6 is bad, but it’s just way too easy, especially XY (but mega evolution was the best thing to ever happen to the Pokémon series)
@@malcolmlee7875 I agree that Gen 6 as a whole is really easy compared to other generations, although personally that aspect never really bothered me. Since you're talking about Megas, while I like that concept a lot, it's a shame that none of Gen 6 mons (but Diancie) have Megas. (Although I still prefer that concept to Gigantamax, due to how the latter works.)
Sometimes it feels like John on Stream and John during his videos are like two completely different people. John in his videos does insane challenges like these and John on stream loses 10 consecutive Platinum Nuzlockes
have you *tried* archeops plus flying gem with acrobatics? defeatist is a bad ability, sure, but archeops is so fast and you're so overleveled in this challenge that it's so op
Love this! A request for future videos like this: I would really appreciate an in game time counter on the side of the video to match the Pokedex total count. Would definitley add a bit more understanding on how much of a time grind this challenge is.
"The easiest pokemon to train by far was Joltik..." *shows footage of joltik getting wrecked by an audino* Edit: Aight okay so this comment for some reason sparked a flame war, but it's died down now, so I'd really appreciate that if you do respond to this comment that it's not about the flame war. I know I won't be able to stop everyone from responding, but this is as much that I can do. Thanks
The reason why Joltik is easy to train is because its in the fast experience group it has nothing to do with it being fainted by an Audino your poor attempt at humor is cringeworthy at best
@@socialistrepublicofvietnam1500 in my Defense i was extremely sleep deprived when i wrote the comment. My defense doesn’t mean anything though because I’m extremely sleep deprived as of this very moment lol
Idk if someone noticed but Johns voice is much lower at the beginning of a video compared to the end. I noticed that while watching a "JohnStone marathon". Good to have you back with yet another video :)
The reason I loved this generation so much. Moving sprites, maaan everyone complained that 5th gen pokes were bad, to a certain extent yeah some of them are bad. But people forget not only did we get new pokemon, we could also see old ones with a moving animation, charizard sprite -> 3d zard.
Every gen has its share of pokemon people dislike heck gen 1 has VERY SIMPLE designs too lol but apparently gen 5 HAS TO GET TARGETED BADLY..... anyways nowadays i see people praise gen 5 more than before lol
Imo the 3D models that came with XY are slept on. As in one year after the last main entry, the new one had 3D models for more than 700 creatures (including more than 600 old mons). Yeah you may say that it's not as expressive as Gen 5 moving sprites, imo they're as much expressive as them (and more expressive than the Gen 1-4 static sprites).
@@phil2160 I'm curious if this is the reason why SW/SH doesn't have the full national dex in the base game, and potentially after the release of both future DLC. Given the amazing graphics we have now, how many pokemon exist and having saved 3D models for every single one, I'm beginning to wonder how much storage the game would need. That's not even including models for shinys and the slow addition of more Gigantamax forms. Even adding Mega forms to the game would only further increase the necessary disk space.
@@xninjabluexTV I mean, gen 7 could handle about 810 moving sprites as well as all shines, Z-move animations for all pokemon, and mega evolution. Im pretty sure gen 8 on the switch could handle it
I have genuinely been eagerly anticipating this one, John! This is by far my favorite generation, and I've honestly thought about doing this challenge myself in this very game thanks to you!
I cannot wait for when John does Sun/Moon and has to fully evolve Bagon from level 12 with scaled experience like, it'll be torturous and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, but... I just want to see his reaction, it'll be so funny
I *literally* just finished watching the previous ‘Professor Oak Challenge’ videos 😂 I knew this would take a while to complete, congrats. Keep up the good work.
I'm actually taking on Oaks challenge in white right now, so I was pretty excited to see your video pop up! I'm still training my Pickup Pups rn, but I got me first shiny- a Patrat- so I've got that going for me. Great video!
I haven’t played Black and White all the way through and I’m super glad watching this video, I learned so much, and not to much about the story. Johnstone is a God
This guy should be congratulated not only for withstanding the grinding and sudden *surprise* during recording, but also for having the patience to hear Cheren demanding us to stop every single time he approaches.
Hey, its fine! I was even thinking just a lil while ago "whats John up to?". Taking a bit of time, I knew something big, some neat challenge was in the works. And there are definitely worth the wait! Take as much time as you need. I'm pretty sure, most people that watch ypu know that these are quite some time consuming things and appreciate the challenges and vids you do. They've sofar always been enjoyable, thanks alot for them!
@@MashupProductions22 probably because they didn’t wanna give her a Haxorus because they wanted to wait to give her the Dragonite because she’s a spoiled brat honestly. Legit hated her since all she really did was complain that Ash knew nothing about Unova when he never even heard of it until Professor Oak told him
This was a really incredible video! So glad to see someone doing something interesting in one off my favorite, most nostalgic games of all time. Honestly, though, I really wish they would remove the experience scaling with levels. It hurts watching you get less than 20 experience per battle.
HGSS will definitely be the hardest challenge from what i can think of. the post game would be MURDER because of not being able to get your 9th badge and all the potentially new pokemon to find due to it being gen4. if you tread that path, i pray for your patient soul (but would enjoy watching the video on that challenge just to see how extremely lengthy it is)
This game was my childhood. Got it back when it first came out and maxed out the in game timer twice. I love gen five and seeing this video made me love it even more. Thanks man🔥💯💯
For real, I dlike to thank you for the bottom of my heart. I live in France and Im probably on of the biggest fans of the unova region. And I love so much your work you can imagine how good this video was good to me... Keep on going brother youre making really nice videos! :)
I'm at the start of the first grind, and I just remembered when I had to grind my Oshawott to get Fury Cutter for the first gym in my nuzlocke after everyone else died, it took me a while.
This video (and by extension, your POC videos) makes me want to replay all the main Pokemon games on the DS, and do a POC on them. However, because I have no patience to grind and I don't plan on posting my run on reddit, I plan to also use cheats and exploits. I'm starting with Diamond, and later on, I'll tackle HeartGold, Platinum, Black 1 and White 2.
JOHNSTONE THE GOAT OF POKETUBERS IMO Been here since catch them all in gen 1, and I'm fine with waiting for your content John because I know it will be high quality.
I know this is a year-old comment, but just have to say that if someone did try this, they would quickly have problems with blood in their alcohol system. XD
Only Johnstone, master of all Proffessor Oak challanges could entertain them during Quarantine. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. Good to see youre back :D
Incredible runthrough. I think it's about darn time I finish my run of Black and White finally... Need to train the starters, do the Swarms, and figure out how Black City/White Forest works... I never thought of switch training Yamask, that's a good idea.
Great work, John! It's great to see a new Professor Oak challenge from you! I'm working on the PO challenge for Shield right now, and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for bringing this challenge into the public eye a bit more. :)
Man I started pokemon black as my first oak challenge back in October and I still haven't finished it, John did it before me 😭 I guess this is a sign I've been slacking although I'm past the seventh gym
Great video as always. Would love to see you do some of the re-makes especially ORAS. If you start today you might have it done by the time coronavirus has been wiped out lol
Black and White is what future Pokémon’s should aspire to be like. The sheer amount of content, effort, and world building is proportionally larger than other games
Oh! Howdy sir! Wasn't expecting to see you here! Maybe you could try a POC! I suggest X and Y seeing as they're some of the easier games to do the challenge in!
*Finally! This should be easy because primarily only new pokemon are available for much of the game.* Edit: Whoops, I was way off base. I stand corrected after watching this.
About the DS freezing, I've had this quite a lot during my time playing my DS, I assume it to be caused by poor contact between the system and the cart, sometimes it happens. It usually led me to save often due to that.

Man, Seasons were one of the coolest introductions to the game, especially upon the games initial release. Super cool to see the world actually change
Too bad it's only in black, white their sequels and pokemon go

It's an Augenocide
The game froze while you were training an Ice-Type. How fitting.

I didnt watch 1 minute and i can alredy feel the grind
I tried this. The pre-gym grind is absurd
The grind is freaking insane wild Pokémon in gen 5 already give exponentially less xp and not only that the higher level you are the less xp you get

“Why haven’t we been of thinking this all along!
I wasn't expecting this! What an awesome surprise! =)
Oh! Howdy sir! Wasn't expecting to see you here! Maybe you could try a POC! I suggest X and Y seeing as they're some of the easier games to do the challenge in!
*Finally! This should be easy because primarily only new pokemon are available for much of the game.*
Edit: Whoops, I was way off base. I stand corrected after watching this.
He teared up during his last stream, due to the amount of views, so lovely. Plz continue the great work John!
I don't think you missed anything else, but I know you can catch both dragonite and tyranitar at the same places as their pre-evolutions
oh hey! i helped work on the guide for this gen :) glad to see you use it, johnstone!
Ah, our crack has arrived in the mail this blessed quarantine!
I seriously love these videos. Keep up the great work!
“No glitches or exploits can be used” *changes system clock to catch time based Pokémon more easily* Ok, John! I’ll allow it.
Well it’s not a glitch or an exploit really, since a couple of Pokémon can’t even show up unless it’s a certain Season
Been anticipating this! So great. Thank you!
About the DS freezing, I've had this quite a lot during my time playing my DS, I assume it to be caused by poor contact between the system and the cart, sometimes it happens. It usually led me to save often due to that.
The way Johnstone describe the experience system is known as anti-grinding. You know, the bane of RPGs.
Who else really wants to start a new file in pokemon black and white because of this video?
I’m just happy you’re back man I love your videos so much thank you
