Pokémon Brilliant Diamond Hardcore Nuzlocke - Fighting Type Pokémon Only! 

Not only did he nuzlocke, but he did a speedrun.

I'm still waiting for my preorder and antler is just dropping a whole nuzlocke of the game.

The 10 year-old protagonist was, until Alola, an anime-only thing. For the lore-lovers like myself: All the gen 1 protagonists are 11, Gen 2 are 17 in the adventures manga and unlisted for the games, Gen 3 are 12, Gen 4 are also 12 in the manga, unlisted for games, Gen 5, Hilda/Hilbert, Cheren, and Bianca are 14, Nate/Rosa are unlisted, but Hugh, the rival, is 12. BW2 happens 2 years after the BW, making the previous protagonist group 16, Gen 6 are unlisted, but their manga counterparts are 12, Gen 7 are 10, as that is Alola's traditional starting age due to their trial system itself being age-limited, Gen 8 is unlisted. Edit: 11 for Alola, I was thinking it was a 'start the year you would turn that age' thing, not a 'start on/after your birthday' thing. Which means the 10 year-old thing is flat out anime only, unless you count Wally from the Hoenn games. And for general timeline comparison; Gen 1 and Gen 3 happen at the same time (roughly 1979), Gen 2 and Gen 4 also happen at the same time 2 years later (roughly 1981). Gen 5 is 3 years after that (roughly 1984), and the sequels are 2 years later along with Gen 6 (roughly 1986). Gen 7 and Gen 8 are 2 years after that, 7 years from Gen 1 in total, and happen at the same time (roughly 1988). The game timeline is fully established on bulbapedia. bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/History_of_the_Pokemon_world

Got to love the xenoblade Chronicles nicknames

"He has a +spatk -atk nature which is like the worst possible option" *you dare insult the clearly well thought plans of the mighty Zeke Von Genbu*

Him saying "Goodbye, Ms. Eggplant" in French made me spit my water out in laughter. I wasn't expecting that.

Chibi Cyrus is actually the scariest thing I've seen in life

This is an interesting proof of just how valuable game knowledge really is. Even though you knew in general what was going to happen, the lack of specific details cost you the run. That said... I await the inevitable Fire only run, because it was so awful originally and I'm curious to see if it's better or worse in the remakes.

Never been so happy being up at 5am waiting to go to work. Made my day Antlerboy

Wow. This is the 6th nuzlocke I have seen today. All nuzlockers are so dedicated bcoz the game just released. Kudos!

Every single BDSP video i've seen so far has made the Candice joke and I am thrilled

Pokemon BDSP: releases Everybody: *NUZLOCKE! NUZLOCKE! NUZLOCKE! NUZLOCKE!*

Good to see team Galactic are cultured and keeping up with ventya

So impressed the amount of hardwork you put with such great quality of scripting and plays.

Man, can't wait for the "Fairy type only" nuzlocke run of BD/SP lmao Also, GG, Antler, you gave it your all! :P

Fast af boi! Good job for completing it fast. I was anticipating a video :D

Another great video, the commentary never disappoints and makes me laugh

I remember watching your stream and you said you'll nuzlocke your first run, didn't expect it to be out to soon! GG Axl, love your vids as usual! And yes sadly there is no way to avoid the power of love, happened to me and my Skuntank even though I never took a walk with it.

Man, i love your video, honestly I think you're the best nuzlocker.

Ok, I gotta say I chuckled when you finished Fantina with “au revoir Madame du Aubergine” 😂

Hey Axl, I love your videos!!! Just wanna let you know - Sandstorm doesn’t boost SpDef for Steel types like Lucario! It only boosts for rock types, however steel and rock both gain the immunity to the damage. Hope this helps ❤️

A fresh Hardcore Nuzlocke from AntlerBoy from the new games sheeesh

I love all your nuzloke vids there very well edited 👌

Nintendo: Alright here is a new Pok... Nuzlockers: I attempted a Brilliant Diamond nuzlocke

This is my first ever BDSP gameplay video I will watch. Cannot wait to see how good the game look :)

Holy shit, look at that team! The fighting type is a really strong, cool and diverse type.

Wth bro, this was soooo fast. You are awesome!

I love when our favorite poketubers plays the new games in less than a millisecond

Sheeeeesh finally!!! And youre using my favorite type!!!

The run was very fun, to watch Great vid mate!

These are what ive been waiting all month for

The Elite Four has a well balanced team with perfect IV & EV spread. Much like in Renegade Platinum. It's funny how the game before reaching the Elite 4 is so easy & then once you face the Elite 4 the difficulty is scaled to Dark Souls level. Nuzlocking this would be very difficult, especially if you're not fully prepared, & just decided to waltz into the Elite 4 like you did in the rest of the game. This game has truly the most difficult Pokemon League out there, coming closer to the difficultly level of some romhacks.

The new friendship mechanics mean you don’t have to have teammates actually walk around outside with you to gain the “affection” bonuses! It’s just Friendship in these games. Great run!

I do believe you could have catched other fighting types in the underground, but a very good run as always

considering the number of chopple berries you had to deal with I'll say the power of love is probably what made the run possible lol

Game been out for only a day or two and people beat this game and filmed it already. Sheesh

Good Luck on your next Run! Thank you for the video!

Great video antler. i like fighting types and you use gallade my favorite .Dp Remakes are hard but still ggs.

Your commentary is so on point. You can create whole new words without getting noticed. 10:21 "... which slowers my speed..." It just works perfectly.

Great video i can watch these qll day Antler is the most impressive nuzlockes always entertaining ❤😅

medicham's literal last stand of dodging against Luxray had me hoping for some miracle that it survived just from the happiness dodges

Again, RU-vid, give Antlerboy all the subscribers. He deserves them. ALL OF THEM

12:51 Thanks for not blaming, gallade is my favourite pokemon xD

You have NO CHILL, mad respect to you.

This mans work output is insane

Sheesh all nuzlocker is so fast lol

Wow that was quick. I'm here currently on my way to Maylene then this guy drops a nuzlocke of the whole game. 😯

Ma boi drops a Hardcore Nuzlocke, of Day 1 BD/SP, with my personal tied Favourite Type. You sir, are a keeper 👌

It's such a good video AaaAA (can't wait for Legends Arceus Nuzlocke >:D) *looks at people who think that Cynthia will be nerfed*

Ayyy Pyra nickname 🔥💯 Love the video tho 👌

Me not wanting spoilers for anything will not watch this video and live in shame until I finish the game

"I can only use fighting type Pokémon" Flying and Fairy type Pokémon: *it is time*

*me being excited to see someone use heracross* *watches video* "Heeyyy, heyyy, where's the Gabba goo?"

Love the Xenoblade 2 names, I've recently been replaying it so this video came out at the perfect time :). Also this is the second nuzlocke of this game I've watched today and both of them have been fails. This game sure is hard.

How about try again with Ground-type, there are strong encounter like Hippowdon, Steelix and Garchomp. Plus you can use Torterra

I love this man’s videos

hi from brazil I really like your channel keep up with the good work antlerboy

Absolute speed demon

When I was doing q water type nuzlocke, I've never had issues with trainer abras. For some reason these trainers have energy ball and charge beam in the remake. Those Abra are lethal

Damn everyone be releasing nuzlockes. Y’all are fast as hell

When I had to go up against the final Cyrus battle he was down to his weavile, I used my toxicroak. RIP Bana. I chose revenge, got it down to the red, and weavile's hidden ability pick pocket was his undoing. It stole my black sludge and took itself out in the process.

Ngl I would love to see you retry this same nuzlocke and have that hero's comeback

That was Pretty Good

Hold on, EVERY MON IS NAMED AFTER XENOBLADE 2 CHARACTERS?! This is the best video ever. This is perfection, as a diehard Xenoblade 2 fan I approve, and I’m a Pyra main in smash

"She started with a zubat and zeke get confused right of the bat"...I see what you did there

I do agree the affection stat can really cheese some of the fights by some pokemon surviving when they shouldn't. I like to think that I am an average pokemon player I somehwat understand EV's and natures and stuff like that and even then at the same level of the gym leaders or current fight some of those fights are absolutely heinous. The remake is harder than the original and I think the affection stat balances it out somewhat especially since most of the core fights have pokemon with updates moves and items.

I want to see a fairy nuzlocke of this game. Maybe do it in Shining Pearl.

It's the Dial Dialga impression that was my favourite part of the video

It's sad that i can't play BDSP because I don't have a switch but i still enjoyed your nuzlocke and your videos. Keep up the great work Antlerboy!

A cool idea would be to do a brilliant diamond psychic type only nuzlocke? Or a dual grass type run where you can only use dual typed grass type Pokemon?

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS

The piano before cynthia set off all sorts of alarm bells in the back of my head

Waking up to this beauty made my day

Yay a new day a new game a new nuzlok

LUCKY! You got brilliant diamond!

I haven't seen anyone dafeat a pokemon Brilliant dimond nuzlock they sure maked the game harder

nioooce niooce, i had a hardtime choosing between bug, flying and fighting to do a nuzlocke with as it will be my first try.. Went with flying just so i can watch Wingull get merked.

Jesus you work fast

Yo idk if anyone has ever said this or not, but your RU-vid voice is so good man

honestly bro your videos are awesome but have you ever thought about getting into a Minecraft mod pack let's play? k know myself I would really enjoy seeing you work with it especially with ur epic building skills

What a legend

I love that you named them all after XC2

Man couldn't even do a regular playthrough of the game before doing a hardcore nuzlocke. Gotta love it tho 😂

Wow a gen 4 remake hardcore nuzlocke already? What a nice surprise

I get from a challenge standpoint the affection status effects but I do think it's the right decision because it shows your pokemon get attached to you. Not to mention you still lost 3 pokemon even when they used the affection machinic so I don't think it's completely overpowered.

It’s legit been a day and the hardcore nuzlockes have already started

Hell yes!! And the best type 👏

I also felt the same way about all the flopping magikarp

I absolutely loved that you named all of your Pokemon from xenoblade chronicles 2 characters

Wow that was fast

Surprised you didn't try to get a Heracross for this run. Still a very impressive showing!

the medichamp sprite was so funny

I literally haven’t got the game and he already completed it. Doing a nuzlocke too

the power of love saved my magnazone 3 times in a row, i kept healing a little bit with leftovers then would live the next attack on 1 hp while i was trying to sack it off, its was crazy and completely overpowered, will say tho, that i was pretty satisfied with the challenge of the elite 4 in the game

This is why I fill out the Pokédex and then I go for most of my fighting types

The toxic stall was glorious

I love these nicknames 🥰

Damn you math class!

Game: exists for 20 minutes Antlerboy: so anyways I started uploading

Wait did it come out today!? Cool!
