Pokémon, but the entire game has ICE PHYSICS 

Alpharads water bottle being an entirely different side plot for this video is so funny

I personally find it so much funnier if you imagine that his character is just wearing heelies

Hearing him say “never punished” and “crit mattered” on Wallace makes you know just how impactful Pokémon Challenges was on his poor Pokémon brain

I like how using only ice types seems to be the real challenge here.

When he teleported to his room my heart literally sank.

“We cheated and we’re still losing” is very on-brand.

Honestly took me a while to realize that the modders actually added blocks to make the game possible

"Pokemon but you have a God Complex" Um... yeah, that's about right.

Markiplier just saying "smash" is just so powerfull

2:20 By far the funniest part of this is how perfectly the camera’s autofocus focused on the bottle while Alpha was processing, then back to him when he finished

"What does Wattson open with? A glock and a threat!" is such an amazing line.

Alpha’s pure happiness and joy when yeling “PC!!!!!” more than an hour and a half into the challenge is amazing

As the video says, this romhack was made by me (with some help from cannons who wrote some funny signs and such) It was hell... I mean a lot of fun! Also just wanted to really quickly mention that yes, someone else made this same thing in emerald recently, and that it was just an unfortunate timing thing. Emerald Slide (the other ice physics romhack in question) has a ton of cool features, as well as a full on snow palette, so go check that out as well if you're interested in a similar, yet different experience in terms of solutions c:

"Did my water bottle just moan" Alright folks, This is gonna be a good video.

I’m pretty sure we might have the same water bottle brand (Contigo), in which case all you need to do to stop the noise is unscrew the top enough to let air in before you take a sip. I figured that out after one too many dolphin noises in class

“If there’s one Pokémon you should not be able to use Sheer Cold on, it’s Regice.” Truer words have never been spoken.

"Pokemon but you have a god complex" That sounds like every single poketuber

I love how these videos have gone from “Can you beat Pokémon with X” to “I am going to beat Pokémon under X conditions and if anything prevents me from doing so I will mod it out”

15:05 I love the irony that actual ice doesn’t have ice physics lmao

Alpha: I can do anything in the dark. Water bottle: you were saying.

Ball guy in the thumbnail just looks like he is going weeeee while sliding around is adorable and needs to be commented on. Nova doing god's work on the thumbnails always but this one is for sure a new favorite just a happy lil bud :)

Really enjoyed seeing this live! Incredible how you completed this match completely legitimately!

Great line not included from the stream during the Elite 4: "Imagine being the _second_ best Ice-type trainer"

Reminds me of how I used to play as a kid. I would act like "all floor has ice physics" in many games, including Pokemon games but also in real life I would try and navigate around using only cardinal direction ice physics. I think the ultimate motivator for that was this WildTangent game I played called Slider. I even ended up making my own ice physics based puzzle game. Really cool to see it actually as a mod.

Should have made it so when Pokémon use physical moves they slide off the screen and it switches to your next Pokémon

Man, good to see Lady Luck is still playing favorites. She even RNGed two other pokemon into your team when you needed them most!

The Comedic effect of the Trainer/Ranger turning back and forth at 9:54 made it even better.

Man, it turns out that starting with Heely's is waaaay cooler than getting running shoes in the first town.

Pokémon but you have a god complex sounds like a great game for Jacob considering how often he flies too close to the sun, he’s like a real life Pit.

2:31 "Did my water bottle just moan?! I don't think I want to drink out of that anymore." Well, its fulfilled its purpose I suppose, he's not thirsty :/

His reaction to the water bottle "moaning" gets me good every single time

Having Regice as nothing other than a bomb is honestly such a power move

As someone who was there for the whole stream: Glad to see Alpha’s moving on from hitting women and going down on the old man 💪

10:22 The way how Regice died so quickly along with Alpha's reaction pretty much slayed me 🤣

Imagine having a beefy resistant monster to beat some trash team just for an ice dude to nuke the whole battle

So humble of alpharad to shout out small creators like Markiplier. How nice of him

The starters are all Ice-types? That’s a pretty COOL touch. 😅 But seriously, that does seem like a neat addition.

I love how the water bottle moaning is a plot point

I was there for only the second half of the run, and seeing that Jacob phrased things badly MULTIPLE times weirdly enough makes me laugh way more than I should

Okay, so you know that sound Alpharad's water bottle was making? I thought it sounded like a dolphin pokemon cry! So I made a fakemon for it based on a water bottle. Its called Bottleknows! Bottlenose as in the dolphin species, Bottle as in water bottle, and knows because Bottleknows are very intelligent. Bottleknows is a water/psychic type, with the ability poison absorb. It makes it so Bottleknows gets powered up by poison type moves instead of hurt. Bottleknows like to collect trash in the ocean and use it as decoration, jewelry, and housing for their communities. Bottleknows even use money in the same way humans do. Bottleknows appearance is a navy blue dolphin with a white bottle cap from a plastic bottle stuck on the tip of its nose, with the plastic rings used to hold cans tied around its neck as a necklace. It also has a pale blue stripe along the middle of its body. Jeez I loved writing this. You're free to draw Bottleknows but please credit me and alphadad both!

You could see the immediate terror of not being able to make it out the door after making fun of chat not being able to do so for hours

I love how this was giving the same energy of Getting Over It, pressing one button leading to massive time/progress lost

"Pokemon but you have a God Complex" sums up PokemonChallenges perfectly

3:30 The sound his water bottle makes is almost too uncanny to the Empoleon cry.

13:21 Jacob: “You have to go down on that guy so many times”

This time around, Jacob flew too far away from the sun. So far, in fact, that his world froze over.

Imagine being an NPC and just watching a trainer run back and forth frantically before finally making a beeline straight at you, springboarding off of you, and flying off to who-knows-where

12:36 you what?

Alpha trying to tell us something? "beat off the old man" "go down on him" (around 12:30)

14:08 That little intermission ditty sounded pretty catchy and yet for some reason triggered a lingering sense of PTSD, and then I remembered what it came from and any enjoyment was immediately washed away

Jan and Alpha's rivalry is hilarious, i would really enjoy a pokemon soul link run by the two of them !!

14:14 Man just got return to zero. You get it if you know what i mean.

15:50 putting the wall in Wally ;)

Alpharad I just wanna thank you. You’ve been a constant source of happiness for me, and it’s been a really rough year. Just thank you, for making me happy. You’re awesome! And I hope you have an amazing day

17:06 What is this background music? It's hype!

Leaving this here for my own memory, but thank you for the luck tonight. During this video I found and reclaimed a shiny braviary in pokemon white that I failed catching 11 and a half years ago when the game first came out, and I'm giving the credit to this video.

16:47 If only you had a Pokemon that has Sturdy, like an Onix

instead of Groudon causing a drought or Kyogre causing a flood a different legendary Pokemon plunges Hoenn into an ice age, freezing everything over

3:22 RU-vid. RIGHT HERE. AGE RESTRICT HIM. pls dont though.

Jacob: tilts a water bottle *with a straw* backwards to drink it Jacob: why is this water bottle being weird

This seems fun. Like an ice cold bath in winter.

0:04 "But you have a god complex" That's too accurate

"pokemon, but you have a god complex" 7 seconds in and i'm already histerical

4:56 I think most of us did this as a kid

Alpharad will eventually go insane and just upload a 10 hour video of his water bottle moaning.

I love this, both for how clever the concept is and because... I'm a psychopath who legit LOVES ice puzzles. People out here talking about how linear Regions have gotten while completely sleeping on the puzzles in Pokemon games, they're nice. Even the Gen 6 ice puzzles that you can cheese just by going diagonal.

7:42 I got jumpscared so hard by the battle music, I thought something crashed behind me

Man I been seeing this guy pop up for years and am just now really watching him. So witty!

You can see the terror in his eyes when the bottle enjoys itself too much

Girl: (hits me) what are you gonna do hit me ba- Me: 3:18

3:50 “that doesnt kill” Internal Jan voice “that absolutely kills”

Now that I know the lore between alpha and jan, the 'pokemon but you have a god complex' joke is so much funnier

Easily the most interesting gimmick playthrough I've seen, this and entrance randomizer are great

Not gonna lie, I really like the aesthetic of the overworked always being a bit darker and always snowing. Very pretty imagery.

4:24 the perfect edit doesn't exi..

You know what. Pokémon but it’s all dark. Flash guy also doesn’t exist, and Flash is hidden near the end of the game.

3:29 okay but why does the water bottle sound like the Shellos/Gastrodon cry?

I like to imagine the boy scout at 9:54 looking at the player then quickly looking away as an "oh- what? okay" and then he's really nervous about this boy just standing mere inches away from his nose so he keeps looking at him and then away.

Watching anyone play hour 1000 of any single player game, no matter the modification, is magical.

"Pokemon, but you have a god complex" just somehow fits perfectly

Just the thought of how you would traverse the Sootopolis City Gym with Ice Physics gives me *chills*

Watching Watson live was such a trial, so much RNG needed even after cheating

Your Pokémon content made me want to get back into Pokémon and I started with a random move, evolution, typing, just literally everything random, and it’s been a fun time. really increases replay value

“Pokémon but you have a god complex” 😂 that’s so spot on

As a fan of the ice puzzles (Brycen’s gym is legit my favorite), this was actually hype! Mmm, how about Platinum with the same ice physics?

Really enjoyed seeing this run live! Incredible how you completed this match completely legitimately!

This thumbnail is just perfect! 🤣 Also, at 9:45 hearing the sudden, loud onset of the Route 112 theme after the calm and quiet Lavaridge town absolutely sent me! Such perfect comedic timing, he just realized his mistake and then the timpani/kettle drum just hits like a truck! 😂

Side Character Development: 2:18 - Our Journey Begins 3:30 - Weird sh*t... 4:34 - Spheal 2 4:56 - Playing Tag with a Bird 14:11 - Welcome Back, Old Friend

15:56 RIP Wally

"did my water bottle just moan?" I've had that kind of water bottle before. Yes. It moaned. You can also make a dolphin noise with it :)

your background music for the champion battle was excellent, great choice!

10:22 The way how Regice died so quickly along with Alpha's reaction pretty much slayed me

I don’t know how, but you make every Pokémon video different from the last. It’s very impressive 👏👏 9:43 Also Brendan is definitely going to be ready for the Winter Olympics after this video, look at him go 🤣

someone needs to make a drink bottle that makes moaning sounds when you drink out of it and give it to alpharad

Alpharad: I'm good in the dark. Vashyron: He's good in the dark.

Great idea for a mod, turning off the ice physics for indoors and grass is a good choice also to make it playable

8:29 Alpharad's motto

15:04 would have been hilarious if they made it so you just slide all the way up instead lol

I always loved the little ice puzzles, always hoped you would have full games with puzzle like this

Tate & Liza are for gen3 what Cynthia is for gen4. Absolutely goddamn terrifying.
