Could May have become the Hoenn Champion? Pokémon Ruby Hardcore Nuzlocke! 

I used a skitty during my whole playthrough on alpha sapphire bc i couldn't find the moon stone as a kid, im excited to see it in action here

I've often considered doing a May playthrough. But because her actual Hoenn Pokemon are so sparse, and I can't cheat Pokemon in, so I usually sub in a Marill, Roselia, Swablu to give her a full team that matches her aesthetic.

This is the most "May" run I could ever imagine

I like this idea of can this character beat this game! You should try doing this with some lesser known characters from the anime. I think that would be pretty entertaining! Keep up the good work!

Drew was such a good rival

My favourite nuzlock RU-vidr that put alot of time and efford into it. Can't wait until you can start doing this full-time so we can get more

I just need that "DID YOU WIN? ALMOST" meme format, please.

25:19 love the Pitch Meeting reference haha

i freaking love this series dude!! I love watching your videos then trying it myself and thank you for the sprite patches cause that's my favorite thing

This is the first video I’ve seen by you but this is really cool. I definitely am subscribing ❤

Lol just noticed the profesor having the voice of Yugi (Atem) :D

22:10 Wow, I uh... never looked at Sharpedo that way before. I know it's an unfortunate coincidence, but still. Did no localizer think that was odd for this children's game?

I remember doing a playthrough of Omega Ruby in my videos and couldn't find half of May's team. So, I added Altaria (1. because of the trailer for the games and 2. May did befriend a swablu but never caught it), Dustox (it was a failed Beautifly and I had to catch a silcoon after failing the evolution), and that cosplay Pikachu that's mainly a freebie. I even did my own version of the Grand Festival in that game.

Yeah he is back! Go Joe, love this series

Another banger of a video! Keep them coming!

If you ever run out of people from the anime to copy the teams of you should try the pokedex holders from the manga

Fun video Hope to see more Pokegirl ones if perform well Maybe do Misty in Gen 2 Also Team Rocket Trio as well

May is one of my favorite characters in the anime

Are we going to ignore the fact he is using glaceon in Pokemon ruby

I loved this video it like actually matched the story not just doing the whole Pokémon they chose. Loved this I hope you do Dawn or maybe you have I’ll check after this. Omg and Norman

Not gonna lie but I still think the contest-centric episodes may have been the first real instance of when the anime stopped being able to sustain my continued interest back in the day, having already been a major fan from watching so much of the Original Series and movies beforehand. I owned and played the original Ruby on the GBA myself and could never really get fully into that new feature of Pokémon Contests compared to the traditional battling even for just an optional side-quest, so I guess when the anime started devoting a lot more episodes to May and eventually Dawn participating in contests it didn't make it as easy for me to stay invested in the current series as a whole or be able to relate as much to the goals given to them by the writers. No offense to May or Dawn as characters as I'm sure they were wanting to give them something to do than just being new tag-alongs for Ash while also showcasing one of the newest features from the games, but it just wasn't my thing like it was for them, and it definitely wasn't the thing that got me into the Pokémon anime and games to begin with. Though if I thought I was losing interest in the anime then it's still nothing compared to the changes that were to follow that contributed even more to my lost interest in the anime over the years, namely the replacement of the English voice cast and eventually that extremely polarizing art style shift that started with the Sun & Moon series.

Steven really needs to go to Kantos Mall man

Your my favorite youtuber and I subscribed to you

25:21 I understood that reference 😂

9:14 Same reason as to why the first gym in the series was the last one to be fought in gen 1

This was great I never finished that season so it was good to see it here

22:09 that sharpedo's name??!?

Fun fact: Joy and rocky are all clones. Thats why Mewtwo hostage one of the joyes because its a clone like him

Nice cheatlock you really earned it

I just started my playthrough of Alpha Sapphire with water types and named my character Lana from Sun and Moon. :>

Basically just play Ruby as the female character

Imo May's Skitty should've come back for a contest and evolved during the Battle Frontier season.

22:16 Are we just gonna ignore theres a Sharpedo... named Pedos?..

Still seems wierd, a Munchlax in the Hoenn anime, while it was introduced in gen 4 (Sinnoh)

Who greenlit that Sharpedo's nickname???

Only issue I had is when you said no one likes Brock hahahaha, Brock is MY MANS (I know it was a joke

dude I love your content it is so Kool 😎👍

Really Love your video

Anyone else saw Taytay the Taillow and immediately went to Bad Blood when David Cook lost? No just me?

u should be tobias next It should be easy

That was very good Joe! But I do think that it would be more challenging if you had played only with May's Hoen Pokemon. Skitty, beautifly, conbusken, and for more coverage, allow Squirtle too. I don't know if it would be possible this way but the idea was just that, seeing if it was possible. Even so I must say, this way probably it wouldn't be possible, but your idea showing now and then the anime is gorgeous, I really like it! The way you did May's team is really balanced you know, and sure it would be worth a try. Congratulations, Joe! As always I 'm cheering for your success! You deserve it! I don't know if you already did it, but I'd like to see if a hardcore as a team magma or Acqua grunt would be possible. Maybe you could try it. Thank you for the video, very fun!

May is only ten?!

“Scotty doesn’t know that” Munchlax and it belong in a different area 😅 Great vid man!!!

I see you also watch pitch meetings.

the hoenn region is still my favorite generation in all 9

Why didn't you put Drew in the rival fights and Harley in the last one against Wally?

you're playing as may if she wasn't a moron by not allowing her pokemon to evolve. And hmm, now that you mention ash stole may's victory from a final contest thing, I don't feel so bad for him about the tobias BS in sinnoh

What stone eevee evolution glaceon in game?

Doesn't focus punch miss if you hit them?

what's the name of this tool? 3:40

8:00

idk if it was an intentional choice by you but May never evolved her Skitty or Wartortle

First comment(of this particular and oddly specific text)!!!

In the anime, Norman cheats on his wife. 💀

you cheated.

You pretty much cheated.

First ,i am your biggest fan please pin😅

Dude... you make up the shittiest Pokémon names 😂 but otherwise keep up the vidz

3rd

4th

Why 👏🏼 do 👏🏼 Pokétubers 👏🏼 always 👏🏼 do 👏🏼 nicknames?!

I know no one cares but I'm dissapointed in you for cheating with that delcatty evolution. And the other ones you'll probably do later. Goes against the point of a theme run.

12:42 Cussing is poor language skill. 12:44 Also you accidently said torkoal is a he, instead of she.

Like who is ash and Pikachu ? I don't remember them who are they ?
