Can I Survive A CRYSTAL LEGACY Hardcore Nuzlocke?! 

Thank you! I’m just grateful to be apart of such a cool community!

Any way to program a built in Nuzlocke?

Haha true that!

Yeah. Thats the top tier content that earns my sub. I like creators that don't act perfect lol

Well that, and the yoshis island music. Like getting hit by a nostalgia brick to the face. Love it.

@@kyledabearsfan it’s crazy how well the yoshis island music fit!

@Knightly- that game never gets talked about but was a staple of my childhood. Charming game! Tough game sometimes lol

All that to lose it after three battles lol

Welcome aboard! Hopefully Smith does a legacy emerald so I can cover it!

@@KnightlyKnow With his most recent video on Sceptile with the dragon-typing, I’m hoping that was the first step 👀

Yes I was excited to see Knightly playing Smith's ROM also. Great little hack :)

@@XyrnaTheTrainer I know! I really hope he does I’d love to see how he improves upon my favorite game

@@reeceb4973 well thank you for watching! I agree I love how he changed just enough where the game still felt like a main stream Pokémon game.

Ah man thank you for the kind words! I’ve tried taking them super serious but it’s just not fun.

Haha at this point I need to use OP names for every video

I’m so glad someone got that! I was so proud of Afent Poneglyph

Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!

Thank you! Good luck on your next run! I’d recommend using the documentation it’s a life saver!

Lmao thats a funny way to think about it I even had a charmander named Sabo I was gonna replace ace with but he kept living

Do it! One of the best Nuzlocke experiences I’ve ever had!

Heck yeah some fit perfectly, and others made no sense lol my favorite was probably soul king

I’m glad you enjoyed I still can’t believe Zoro swept his team lmao

Welcome aboard! I’m glad you enjoyed the video I put a lot of sweat and tears into it lol

Thank you! Comments like this keep me going!

Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you for the kind words! If your new to Nuzlocking I think your doing great so far! The games not the hardest hack by any means but compared to most main series games it’s a solid challenge! Also Lances Aerodactly is a nightmare I almost made it the center of the Thumbnail lol

​@@KnightlyKnowI have 2 questions if you don't mind. First, how do you decide what the level cap is for the E4 during Nuzlockes? I saw the lowest level Pokemon was 48 and the highest was 56, so I aimed right in the middle and had all my pokemon start the E4 at level 52. I noticed you were at 50 and wondered how you arrived at that number. Second, how do gift Pokemon work in Nuzlockes? Do they count as your encounter for an area?

@@DiviTon So it really just depends, because I was using rare candies I just matched the highest level Pokemon for each E4 member. On the rematch I just matched Lance. For Gift encounters it depends on the game for me! Some games give 20 gift Pokémon like Renegade Platinum and others only give you one or two! For this game I counted gift Pokémon as freebies that’s why I used Aerodactly.

@@KnightlyKnow Okay thanks for the info. Sorry, but one more question. Is there an easy way to get rare candies into this? I have gotten to Kanto just grinding with speedup, but the thought of grinding for the rest of the game sounds a little daunting, lol.

@@DiviTon I can’t remember what the code was, but if you join the discord linked in the description someone should share it with you pretty quick!

Thank you so much! Comments like this keep me going!

Thank you so much for watching!! Refresh my memory what reference are you talking about?

@@KnightlyKnow You're welcome. Sorry, "we don't talk about" it..

@@thewolf_149 ahhh I see lmao thank you for watching so far into the video!!

Lmfao Freudian slip I guess

That’s awesome I’m glad you enjoyed! Ace, and Doflamingo were definitely my favorite names!

Yes for this run I did treat gift Pokémon as freebies, from now on I’m going to stop doing that because I’ve gotten a lot better! Also thank you for watching!

Lmao yeahhh I guess I forgot about that

He’s supporting small businesses! Yeah… that’s what it was 😅

Thank you for the kind words! I’m mostly self taught my biggest resource is RU-vid tutorials! If I see something I like I try to search it up so I can learn it!

Thank you so much for watching!

You’ll get there it’s a marathon not a sprint.. or something like that lol

Haha yes! I almost want to do it for every video

Oh man I’m a fake fan I forgot about that!

@@KnightlyKnow It’s all good man. I was enjoying it. I was just guessing along. I was like I think he’s doing one piece. Nice run through by the way lol.

@@narutoshadowclone1 Thank you for watching! The only bad thing about doing One Piece is now the next naming theme is gonna suck in comparison lol

Lmao I’m so glad I’m not the only one!

I feel so validated now!

Lmao I think about it every time I see crocanaw

Yeah I couldn’t agree more, especially for making content grinding just takes too long

I’m gonna be real I don’t even remember the context lol but thanks for commenting

Lmfao that’s on me

I’m glad, some of names just fit too!

@@KnightlyKnow I’ll never be able to name the Machop line anything but Garp ever again it fits perfectly

@@MrKingcyclone haha I know right! I also love how well Luffy fit for Snorlax lol

Haha I’m grateful for all the one piece fans who found this video!

Damn I’m sad I missed that

Yoshi’s Island, Flower Garden!

Honestly I’ve peaked early I don’t know what to do next!

Yesss like I kept thinking Croconaw was the first evolution lol

I always thought it was a weird caveman egg Pokémon when I was younger 😂

@@darby6588 like a little reference to the Flintstones 🤣

@@darby6588 haha I’m glad I’m not the only one who was confused about the design

I believe I used MGBA but most of the speed up in the video is actually me editing the the footage in post.

I really like this idea imagine feroligator with a big club lol

It’s all just jokes I actually really like umbreaon!

@KnightlyKnow best eeveelution around you know I've actually swept Lance 3 times in a row in with just my Umbreon Ace First time: Sacred Gold nuzloke Aces moveset: Curse Payback Toxic Wish This sweep almost didn't happen Ace had 60% HP left WHEN LANCE'S GYARADOS SCORED A CRIT AQUA TAIL that left Ace on 4HP luckily the previous turn I had set up a Wish which combined with leftovers brought him back up just above half Ace was the only survivor I had left from my OG 6 team members the other 5 had been: Dan the Phanpy died against Proton in slowpoke well Tyranno the Larvitar who somehow got critted in Bugsys gym despite having battle armor Ferno the Quilava who died to a crit wing attack from Silvers Murkrow Charger the Heracross who died to a crit against a trainers Golduck And Vanoss the Noctowl who died you guessed it to a crit from Petrel in Mahogany Town My team for the league was: Ace the Umbreon Wavecrash the Gyarados Spinner the Hitmontop Hunter the Scizor Nightwing the Honchkrow Vexos the Gengar We cleared Will, Koga and Bruno with some close calls but no deaths but unfortunately lost Spinner to a fire blast from Karen's Houndoom as Spinners attack got a low roll leaving Houndoom in the red Second time: Sacred gold nuzlole rematch battle: Same Moveset Same outcome minus the near death crit Even though Lances team now had physical and special attackers (originally they were all physical attackers) Ace still managed to solo sweep Took Ace to Red and he survived there too but didn't solo sweep. Third sweep: Liquid Crystal (none nuzloke) Aces moveset: Double team Faint Attack Toxic Moonlight Though he did know Confuse Ray before Moonlight Ace did almost sweep Lance a second time in Liquid crystal actually knocked out 5 of Lances pokemon but he got critted by Aerodactyls Brave bird luckily Aerodactyl was in range that any attack would kill and out of Lance healing range I have been looking for a specific rom hack though one where Umbreon can learn Moonblast But so far my searches have drawn up nothing I did suggest it to a dev for Elite Redux and they agreed as a moon pokemon Umbreon should be able to learn it So hopefully that games next update will feature Umbreon with Moonblast If you haven't played Elite Redux I recommend it even on easy mode the game has its challenges: Route 102 has a youngster with a stacked team that I've never been able to beat without a full team of 6 pokemon I beat the game on easy mode and thought I could take on normal mode Didn't even make it to Brawly. In this game you HAVE to defeat every gym trainer to challenge the gym leader. I could not get past brawlys final gym trainer even with both a Metang and Doublade on my team:

@@teamfmreborn7045 dang beating a sacred gold nuzlocke is impressive I still haven’t done it

@KnightlyKnow wasn't easy I lost 3 of my best pokemon to Blaine One nuzloke I've never been able to finish Blaze Black 2 Redux challenge mode: Attempt 1: lost to Cheren Attempt 2: lost to an optional Brawly battle Attempt 3: actually got 3 badges only losing a Pansage in the process but then wiped to Colress Attempt 4: got trounced by Elesa who in this game is a triple battle, all her pokemon know Discharge and they all have either: Volt absorb Motor drive Or lightning rod I barely took out 4 of her pokemon before I lost I'm surprised I even beat 1 after how the battle starter

@@KnightlyKnow oh and heads up about SG SS if you ever nuzloke it Arianna in goldenrod radio tower has an Attract Toxic stalling Milotic strategy

Join the discord they gave me a rare candy code and should do the same for you!

The craziest was against Lance, that shit saved my run!

@@KnightlyKnow felt like you were playing with a gen 1 crit mod lol!

Lmfao this might be my favorite comment

Nice! It just fits too well lol

Yeahh there is lol I just completely forgot

Lmao It’s so convenient

i do know that but i prefer to get extra exp xD

@@riccardomosena4162 fair enough I’m the opposite I rush to the switch asap

@@KnightlyKnow considering the trainers are always the same, if you have the right team you can get A LOT of exp there

@@riccardomosena4162 for nuzelockes im always too lazy to do that lol

Haha I couldn’t believe how good Jynx was definitely won’t sleep on it next nuzelocke!

Haha atleast I got all my bad luck out early

I was grinding up to my 7th gym. After that I got the rare candy code from the discord in the description!

I’m still so sad that he died there :c

@KnightlyKnow Tbh I never understood why people like Crobat I've hated the entire evolution line since FRLG Mt moon during a reds origins team run with no running from wild battles or using repels unless the teams close to fainting encounter not 1, not 2, mot 3 BUT 24 ZUBATS in a row and my DS volume control wasn't working so I couldn't mute that insuperable cry they make

I'm glad I was worried the names wouldn't be main stream enough for people! (the early names)

I’m not really sure how most people do level caps for the E4! But I do it that way because I have access to rare candies and it feels the most fair! But hey some people even treat the level cap like the champion is the only one that matters! Good luck on your next run!

@@KnightlyKnow v1.2 has a Nuzlocke mode with built-in level caps, just booted up the save and it looks like you *can* candy up after each fight. Seems really unintuitive to me, as most nuzlockers I see set their E4 cap to the final E4 member, not the first. Mightve saved me the wipe. Great vid so far, Ill watch the rest later as I still want to play blind

@@hunter00143 well thank you so much for watching at all! And good luck on the battles to come lol

I’m not sure, I played on the first version so it might have been added after I played

@@KnightlyKnow Ah, version 1.2 has Hard Mode with this feature added.

@@JintoStrife Oh dang I might have to come back some time and beat it!

Okay first off sorry for the super late reply! Second, I reviewed the unedited footage and Marco is just holding the Exp share (you get two in this hack to speed up leveling) if you notice Ace was super close to leveling up and so was Marco!

Honestly I’ve never played a hack exactly like it before the ones that are similar are reallly hard. If your up for a challenge check out Renegade platinum!

Yellow Legacy just came out this week!

I played day one, so I didn’t get the code until after Jasmin!

@@KnightlyKnow I see

I knowww the red Gyrados was heart breaking!

Oh man you just unlocked some forgotten memories lol

Thanks 🤗

Basically there’s something called Dupe Clause which most Nuzlockers play with. The idea is that if your first encounter on a route is a Pokemon you already caught, then you can run away and get a different encounter so that you team isn’t made of 20 ratattas. Because he had already caught the other Pokemon that can show up on the route, he could reroll his encounter until he gets Gastly. Another more complex way of guaranteeing encounters is using repels. A repel only prevents Pokemon with lower levels than your lead Pokemon from appearing when you run in grass, so if your lead pokemon is an equal or lower level than the level of the pokemon you want to catch you can guarantee that Pokemon. Sometimes some Pokemon appear at higher levels on routes than other Pokemon Hope this helps

to add as well as the dupe clause if you look up wild pokemon encounters beforehand you can look up the level ranges of certain encounters and use a repel with a pokemon who has the exact same level as the encounter pokemon increasing the chances you find the desired mon or "guaranteeing" it

They pretty much covered everything thank you!

@@platypuspatrol9625 Dupes clause is optional but playing with it is generally better as it promotes team diversity but also a challenge as you could end up with a team consisting of multiple Intimidate Gyarados' which would trivialize most battles. I use a looser version of dupes clause (the option to re-encounter if I run into a dupe) but play by species clause when it comes to team-building.

Ohh I like that even more!

Yes it is! I had to give love to my favorite anime

Honestly I just thought the fight was boring so I skipped it! Now I am sad I missed the post game rival fights

Best anime of all time 🙏

I glad you think so I was really proud of myself when I picked that name

I used the rare candy code smith and his team provided for nuzelockes! I only got access to the code half way through my run

@@KnightlyKnow can you share this code please?

@@yncomun1112 sorry I’m having trouble finding it! Join the discord in the description and the community will find it for you!

I didn’t know this until now she carried me through a lot of fights !

Wait is this real? If so that’s so cool

You know out of all the buffs I didn’t really check it’s out

Dang your actually so right!

Haha I’m glad someone caught that!

to avoid thaat first sentret encounter bad luck? xD

@@riccardomosena4162 yeahhh still disappointed about that lol

Normally you can swap your Pokémon for free after defeating a trainers Pokémon this makes the game almost always in your favor because you know what's coming next and can react for free. Set mode removes this.

@@KnightlyKnow I'm too lazy to switch them anyways.

lmao@@drakesherwood141

33:40 convinced me Doflamingo’s name was perfect. He don’t play that shit!

@@darby6588 Haha Doflamingo carried not gonna lie!

Haha thanks for watching!

I knowww I can’t believe I didn’t think of that!

So the creators of the game provided a rare candy code for nuzlockes so I just used that instead of going to lances level cap

@@KnightlyKnowi see. Thanks the for the response

@@andreasCH22 no problem thanks for watching!

I think they made it evolve later than that sadly :(

It evolves with Moon Stone no? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. @@KnightlyKnow

@@reeceb4973 oh man I thought it was a set level like 40? If it was moon stone then I’m so disappointed in myself lol

42 I believe

@@CaptainChief33 okay good I didn’t throw.. we’ll I threw but not completely.

I don’t think so, but I might be biased lol

Oops did I drop this 🏴‍☠️

I’d definitely be interested in adding more rules I’m thinking of doing a mono type team text

I'm shocked that this isn't a rule in nuzlockes. I'm very young in nuzlocking, but I think you should revive a pokemon if you manage to find a Revive/Max Revive, but make them hidden items you wouldn't even think of looking.

That's a fun idea! My only concern is the comments I would get for playing on "easy mode" @@TrentTheHedgie

It’s in a building in Viridian City! I believe the fight depends on the day!

@@KnightlyKnow I'll definitely check it out. Crystal legacy has to be my favorite pokémon game I've ever played. Enjoyed your playthrough!

@@shagarelli same here I’ve never really liked johto so this was an awesome experience for me !

@@shagarelli well, that encounter was in the original as well ^^ you could even fight against your friends there, like, if i remember correctly, you could fight the last person you did a mystery gift with

I wasn’t sure how hard bushy was going to be lol but your not wrong I never used it after that

@@KnightlyKnow I mean after farfetchd quest you get it for free

@@emkalina wait.. for real?? Haha that’s so funny

Yeah go back and talk to the guy you helped catching the Farfetchd and he gives you a free one

@@Chaco_The_Chocolate_Lab huh good to know thank you

Is good show

Lmao I’m just sad he didn’t make it past the elite four :/ slowpoke is so under rated

@@KnightlyKnow Slowpoke and his entire line deserve the best, cutest and super underrated mon, deserves more love for sure.

@@OmegaSaiyanPrince I agree I don’t love the galar versions but that’s just me

@@KnightlyKnow Dats fair, galarian slowbro kinda adorable, slowking not so much tho, still strongth

@@OmegaSaiyanPrince haha you might be the number one slowpoke supporter lol

Why do you think it’s fake? Are the odds low or something?

I know I’m still so sad about the red gyarados!

Im attempting humor, not disrespect. The game is wonderful.

18k likes??? I wish my RU-vid studio says 100

Thanks for subbing

@@KnightlyKnow Hey no problem. Keep up the good work and hopefully you'll reach a point where you don't have time to thank each sub individually 😂

@@antoniocalado7101 haha that’s the dream but still feels nice to show some love
