I now kinda want to see like a pokemon Deadlocke where FlygonHG can only play with pokemon that HAVE DIED in previous runs that he did. It would be nice for like an anniversary video or something.

@Zerox_Z21 Год назад

I don't even see why this would be controversial, honestly. A normal nuzlocke gives you tens of encounters. If you've already cut that down by another restriction, keeping the route rule is needless. Nevermind that this is all self inflicted rules and challenges and people need to get over themselves.

@joshuakim5240 Год назад

People like to talk about how cool pokemon would be if they were real, but ignore the fact that without the cutesey anime aesthetics, real life variants of most pokemon would be some of the most nightmare inducing monsters to ever walk the Earth. ESPECIALLY the bug types...imagine a real life Vespiquen as a giant bee where its offspring are constantly crawling in and out of its massive hive abdomen. Or Scyther as a 6 ft tall praying mantis who actively hunts (so none of that sitting and waiting stuff) with giant machete blades chopping apart every living thing to devour as per the dietary behavior of actual mantids.

@sirdefir4792 Год назад

@@unkindled6410 I mean being able to over level isn’t a massive issue on paper, the bigger problem is how you do so accidentally, especially with how much more exp is in recent games. In Scarlet/Violet specifically the bigger problem is the lack of level scaling in a game that desperately needed it. Also the removal of set mode feels like a massive ? from them, it’s not like adding it was difficult.

Don’t forget Matti, nuclockes are made up. If you want to change some rules for the sake of content, do it! I think as long as the rules are consistent within the video, it’s completely fine and in cases like this video, it made it a lot more fun. The hardest runs normally mean you have to play in the most boring ways and it’s always fun to see a wider variety of Pokémon. Have been loving the content for so long and is a real highlight when I see you post ❤

@walterwhite7924 Год назад

I took a look through the Emerald Source code to look at the AI. The information regarding Rock Tomb being classified as a Slowing Move and taking into account whether your pokemon is slower or not is also mostly correct. It just lowers the chance associated with the AI choosing to use the move. However, your pokemon being quad weak to the move raises the chance associated with the Nosepass going for Rock Tomb.

@DarkLordGanondorf190 Год назад

You even put the reflection of Explosion into Sableye's eyes! Dude!

@xscizor2050 Год назад

For the 2 people who care: The Emerald AI has roughly a 70% chance to slightly prioritize quad effective moves. This leads to Nosepass using Rock Tomb on Beautifly despite already being faster and not seeing the kill. This also applies to status moves, i.e. thunder wave on gyarados.

@zauromoun Год назад

I love Skitty and Delcatty, but it's rare to see them anywhere NEAR a challenge video. Cute pokemon, horrible stats. So, seeing how far Nada went in this run was a very welcome surprise! The strategies you pulled off with him and all the other little trash gremlins were SERIOUSLY impressive. I'll keep it vague, but let me say, that ending was INSANE. This was a blast to watch!!

You always show how to properly narrate a story through your nuzlockes but this time, in the very last fight, I'm pretty confident you surpassed yourself. The moment you described all the reasons why milotic was almost impossible to beat and all the options you had, including the hypnosis option and its interaction with milotic's marvel scale, I really felt that.
