I Nuzlocked The Pokemon Board Game - Pokemon Master Trainer Hardcore Nuzlocke 

That was certainly a wild finish! I wanted to thank everybody again for watching this strange challenge! Let me know if you’d like to see more videos like this!

One of the great features of this game is the fact that clefairy is considered one of the starters because prior to Pokémon launch Clefairy was supposed to be series mascot, before pikachu being chosen. Even was planned to be Ash’s starter in the anime, so a pretty neat add to pay homage to the first idea!

This was a great concept! The board game gave random encounters that were nicely tuned for the ingame progression. And the final team turned out really great. Well done!

This game stands out to me because at either my 8th or 9th birthday party, I received not one, not two, but THREE copies of this game from three different people because literally every one of my friends' parents looked at me and thought, damn, this kid sure likes Pokemon.

Did you know they made a Johto version of this board game? You should do this with that one

I like that you recap the team (and their moves and natures) before the elite four - it’s a nice reminder so I don’t have to go back and remember the details from throughout. It is a nice touch! 😀

I was really hoping skip bro landed a crit psychic to take out blastoise. That would have been epic.

Since I love abstract concepts for nuzlockes this was great and I am delighted to see Kingler in a run :)

Loved the concept. Super cool to see a diverse range of Pokemon. Particularly Pokemon you'd never see in the starting areas. In my Nuzlockes I use the last elite 4 level (60 for Lance's Dragonite) instead of the champions starter (63) as it makes the early fights a bit harder. Great run!

That's so cool 😎 Try a nuzlock using Pokemon cards this time hope you try it someday 😁

I too made up my own rules for this game and its sequel, which were then combined into 1 massive game as well.

This game was my childhood! So many memories playing it together with my family. Never thought I'd ever see it getting nuzlocked

I'm not kidding, this nuzlocke was one of the most entartaining nuzlockes I've ever watched. Amazing job!

That is the most interesting and entertaining way to get encounters. I loved the freaking video dude. Wish you could do one like that for every gen

I feel like there was a missed opportunity to nickname Slowbro 'Hasbro'

Not gonna like I think this is the most interesting nuzlock I've seen. Very entertaining and fun to watch! Funny enough slowbro was always one of my favorite water types, so seeing yours shine at the end was hype!

This is such an interesting idea! Saw a notification pop up for it while I was at work and got super excited to watch it! Really interested to see how this goes

This was very cool! It made you use pokemons you usually don't have the opportunity to use at specific steps of the game!

24:00 I assume that Cinnebar is a resort town. So...yeah. Think about all the swimmers surrounding the place.

This is one of the few videos I’ve seen him make and I really appreciate that he has the Pokémon, it’s name, and what order it is in in the top right corner of the video at all times.

Loved the naming scheme

This was definitely new and refreshing, I didn't even know this game existed.

I STG this channel is GOATED 🐐. I remember seeing you plug your RU-vid on Reddit awhile back…I mean…I have never used Reddit in my life…anyway that switch up you made from 10 minute to Quick was an excellent choice.

Aww, I had this boardgame back in the day! I don't remember if I knew how to actually play, but seeing all the Pokemon coins was fun. Brings back old memories, man 😊

I love board games and I love strange things. Keep up the wonderful work 💫

I didn’t even know this board game existed but making it into a Nuzlocke is honestly so amazing

This is an absolutely brilliant idea for a nuzlocke and great execution. Loved this video. Slowbro is such an underrated mon

1:24 bulbasaur casually having less yellow-stat than the other starters

Cool idea, but I'd add one more little rule, to balance the coloured tiles. You're only permited to use the evolutionary stage of the Pokémon you actually catched in the Board Game. These would make the early game slightly easier, by sometimes giving you underleved Evolutions, while making the end game obviously harder. That way risking going to the Red Pieces, or taking the slightly easier Blue Pieces is a strategic decision. While in the current ruleset, trying the red pieces is obviously just worse, as most blue encounters evolve into red encounters anyway. Also I'd say you should be allowed to stay on each route long enough 'til you atleast encounter a Pokémon once on this route (but not necessarily catch it, as it's really easy to just skip past all encounters with some high rolls)

Why not do a multi- player version of this idea? It is a board game after all. Changes strategies, and can allow for event cards, with trades or battles.

You are an absolute Gigachad. Mad respect.

I like the concept! I play Master Trainer with my friends so it was an interesting watch! in the future, I think it would be fair to use the "-ball item cards" in your future nuzlockes provided you actually have the ball for it.

Video is great. Love the concept. I completely forgot the boardgames u til you showed it. Interesting wat hing you play with no ev/iv training. Looks like it made it way hardet

I'm here just for the Pokemon Board game puns

Loved the video dude, only halfway in but one of the most creative nuzlockes I've seen in a looooong time. Keep up the good work 💯

Nice challenge! Since you have infinite rare candies, you should try applying each elite 4 member a different lelvel cap.This way lorelei, Agatha and Bruno should be more challenging

These types of videos are the reasons why I'm subscribed, and hit that bell icon! keep up with this substance! Your especially my work smoke break watch. You have my full attention when I take my Scheduled break 😎

I literally still have this game in my closet with my other board games. Always a favorite.

First thought was this will be easy and lame. Buy the 3rd restart I’m so invested. Great video

Such a cool idea, loved the board game growing up

This has to be the most creative nuzlocke I have ever seen, great video!

Loved this game! Until my little brother threw all the pieces down a vent 😠

My favourite part is the board game themed nicknames :)

Honestly this sounds pretty fun you should do the sequel which is really interesting

The Name Scheme of Board Games/Card Games is extremely Genius

This is such a good concept and I love it. Your channel is so great because of how unique your nuzlockes are. Keep it up!

29:45 we don't talk about Bruno. So let's move straight to Agatha.

My friends and I played this game a lot in high school (half-ironically). We added a bunch of rules, like type effectiveness giving a combat bonus and a lot more forced pvp battles, to make it a bit more competitive. It ended up being kind of fun

I used to love the pokemon chips from this board game as a kid

As a boardgames nerd I really enjoyed the theming of the nicknames

I never had this as a kid (born a bit after it), but I bought this and the Johto one a few years ago. Fun stuff. This one is more fun, but I try to play the Johto one more because I spent WAY more on it. With Kanto, it can go a long while and seems like nobody will win. With Johto, you know exactly who's gonna win as soon as somebody gets halfway through the board. Definitely quicker, though.

i like that when sac skip bro hes like nope no way and kills him

This is such a good video. Good job 👍

I bet this board game is still sitting somewhere in my parents basement from my childhood. I haven’t thought of it in years thanks for the nostalgia!

This unlocked some core memories of mine

How I never thought of this ?holy crap that's awesome

This actually kicked ass dude

Damn, I've watched all your videos. This is such a unique concept and I love it!

I had Pokemon Champion Island board game during the era of board Games coming with DVDs to play along with. Very fun, iirc. I dont think I ever won tho. Rng has never loved me and never will

No One can stop Mr. King Domino.

These nicknames are so well found.

Jeeez.... so nostagic! I remember playing this with my cousins every weekend. Good times!

Yo! Gloomhaven representation? Noice.

Connect 3 is genius. 😂

You have some of the most creative challenge ideas I've seen.

Would love to see this again

Didn't recognize the name of the game, but as soon as I saw the board I was like "Oh shit, I had this game as a kid."

I own the sequel to this board game! I love it

This reminds me of the diamond and pearl TV game I used to play as a kid. I played the shit out of that game

This is…odd but i did not expect it congrats you were the first to do this

You should definitely do another one of these, the rng makes this so fun to watch

Exactly what I hoped for when I clicked on the video

Someone has made a custom version of this game which allows you to change the region and what generation of Pokémon appear so this could also be done with other games

Holy crap this is so much freaking fun! A very clever idea.

It really took me until Connect 3 to realize the names are all plays on board games...

Seeing Slowbro do all that in the Champ fight basically proves that Slowbro is a top tier Pokemon in any game

The RNG Gods have smiled upon you, Quick. That was the slowest Quick Nuzlockes ever.

Cool. Sequels would be neat.

you evolved a Pikachu god what a monster

Ever since I played Pokemon Moon, I've had a soft spot for Grimer and Muk. Such solid 'mons.

I have the week off work this week, and i'm totally bored out of my mind! you gave me the idea of starting a new Nuzlocke! Wish me luck. Gonna start with Leaf Green, on my trusty GBA SP!

THE SLOWBRO IS THE GOD MVP LIKE WHAT!? HE IS THE GOD ARCUES vs SLOWBRO (SKIP-BRO)

I tried to watch the whole video but got board

Whoa I remember that game!! Played sometimes with friends when I was a kid, but we never could finish the game haha

These names are incredible 😂

This was awesome! Loved the idea

I like how each of the 'mons are named for a card or board game. Very fun.

I always like seeing your nicknames. I've learned of some new board games with this one.

"Ghost, I mean Poison, Pokémon." Wait, that one was backwards.

There are no "bord game gods"!

Loved the board game names

All salute for Skip-Bro

I would have risked the crit to save skipbro after he killed arcanine

Probably the single most clever idea for a nuzlocke. I love this and your content!!

a really creative nuzlocke!

Sad we didn't get to see Beetrayal, Catangela or Ticket to Rhydon.

Great video gray idea

You should do this for Heart Gold or Soul Silver with the second game and Emerald with the third one too.

Do you use a website for the overlay or is it pure editing?

dude i had this game when i was little it was awesome
