      Do something simple. Like use pokemon that you really like. This way you will have fun and we are going to know you better. And if you choose to do it in a nuzlock mode, it will be more difficult for you when you lost a pokemon!

  • @davisdawson5047

    The reason why the 1% encounter is the worst pokemon is because they are so weak other pokemons can pick them up and eat them to near extinction.

    Interesting to see you experiment with a full playthru in a single video. I think you struck a good balance between your normal laid-back style and condensing all the necessary info in a timely manner. I liked how many pokemon were used that I normally don't see, certainly some that I've never used in a game. Was surprised tho with how many single stage pokemon you ended up using.

    I had a lot of fun watching this! Doing a hardcore nuzlocke run with the bottom of the barrel pokemon from each route. Quite ambitious, but it very well paid off. I bet it made team building a lot more interesting than the usual run, that's for sure.

    I was really invested in it, those losses at the end hit me hard, and it was amazing to see such underrated mons live up to the potential!
    Honestly a lot of them like swalot, girafarig, and pelipper are very decent mons in opinion - decent stats and decent moves - and are definitely mons I’d want to use myself if given the chance

    This was an amazing run, and your entire channel is amazing, keep it up! Nothing like a completely Gen 3- focused nuzlocke channel.
    I suggest you to try a hardcore nuzlocke (on any game) using only moves with less than 60 Base Power to deal damage, excluding stuff like magnitude, low kick and night shade.

    3:20: I would say Whismur instead. As it's a 100% encounter in Rusturf Tunnel, so you technically lose an encounter (except dupe clause)... Skitty is a very bad mon though, I agree, but it could serve as sacrifice/ last resort or HMmule (Strength, Flash and Rock Smash) as Delcatty (Flash only as a Skitty).

    Awesome vid, I’ve thought about what this idea would look like in the past (not exclusively for emerald) and I’m glad someone else did this so I didn’t have to do any of the work lol
    It’s a shame toxic never missing when used by a poison type wasn’t a thing back in gen 3 because that would’ve made the flygon much less stressful

  • @grinbrothers

    This sounds like a fantastic way to give some lesser-loved Pokémon the spotlight though I'm curious as to the criteria; worse overall, worse for the upcoming challenge or worse for team composition? There's a lot of ways that could be interpreted.
    0:36 - Oh, so no Luvdisc? That would make your team a bit too OP so I can understand the exclusion.
    3:35 - I think a run challenge wherein you're not allowed to do strategic sacrifices or a run where you only use Pokémon you've previously sacrificed/lost in your previous playthroughs would be my suggestion for a new run.
    6:56 - Whoa; not expected at all. I'm pretty sure it is standard, from what I've seen, to be allowed to use Shinies as an exception when they pop up in a run due to their rarity. Gulpin here is also a pretty cool shiny to get; reminds me of a Dragon Quest Slime. Congrats!
    11:25 - That line got a good chuckle out of me. It's funny that you kind of jump straight into the fights with Roxanne and Brawly but with Watson you give a full 6 Pokémon explanation on your strategy and back-up strategies. Unlike the anime, Watson proves quite a threat.
    14:01 - I've used a Nosepass, but this was in Black and White 2 where the Pokémon had access to an improved evolution. Quite liked the fella!
    16:01 - I made my Serviper into a Special Attacker specialist, due to the rest of my team struggling to fill that role. This was in the remakes though with the Special split for moves like Sludge Bomb.
    19:34 - Numel fighting and defeating it's evolution was super cool, an additional rank of coolness was gained from seeing her defeat the following Slugma as well.
    27:55 - That sounds like a great problem to have. In the unfortunate case that you lose a member, you've got some already well-levelled replacements as back-up. An I didn't even realise Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff were available in Emerald version. That 28:24 face Wigglytuff has feels like she is mocking you and it's fantastic.
    33:48 - I'd considered using a Cacturne previously but never had the opportunity. Really cool to see the Pokémon getting the chance to shine here. 37:08... Well, it was good to see Cacturne shine whilst it lasted. I have a bad history with Ingrain myself so I'd advise avoiding the move in-future. It doesn't bode well in a game where crits are a thing.
    41:51 - A shame to see Wigglytuff and Camerupt get dropped from the final team given how much they've contributed and particularly surprising with the former given she was your Ice Beam user. Seeing your two Water types and two Normal types here though does make me think a run of no duplicate types (within a team) could be quite fun to see you do.
    45:32 - Happy to see Girafarig get some love here and see her doing so well. Even though I like the Pokémon, I'm impressed to see it decimate Glacia's team to that extent.
    49:54 - Bravo to Linoone for soloing 3 of Wallace's team and his entire stock of Full Restores. Always splendid to see a Route 1 Pokémon perform so spectacularly! I really did enjoy this creative team assembled run!

      @grumpygengar22  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Love reading your comments as always! Great suggestions for future runs. The non-duplicate types one in particular seems like a lot of fun, and instead of restricting the condition to just the current team, maybe I could even do it for my encounters in general.
      Ex. I pick Torchic as my starter, and now all future fire and fighting type encounters are banned for the rest of the run.

    There is no worst Pokemon since you can always use a great strategy to overcome a frontal assault.
    A very hard run would be 1 Pokemon type only since the opponent type Pokemon can become a wall sometimes.
