Pokémon NOOB Attempts a Hardcore Nuzlocke... 

yippee

spoilers

Ok to be fair Claire is stupidly hard.

​@@jadethenightwing5840 Even more spoilers o.o

@@Artemissing_ Don't read comments before finishing a video

exactly

Especially that ratata

Lmfao, this comment got me laughing so hard that I'm cryin'

totally balanced as all things should be

That’s how luck works

he was high i think, for real

Remember kids: when u get sick, smack it!

Omg so true that was hilarious

And he also guesses, somehow, that Kingdra is Water/Ice and STILL used Ice Fang on it, which by his logic would be a quad not effective move.

@@kairollz1371 wish I could do that right now. I have a fever.

Thik aase

Nice

Good

Nice 👍🙂

Oh no what if he time travels in the future and BECOMES Jan

@@otherlego his next step is his vocal chords giving up

@@otherlegooh god. Alpha becomes Jan and goes back into the past to in order to insure his own existence by creating the channel known as Pokémon challenges! It finally makes sense!

This actually can’t happen due to Alpharad and Jan having different scales of the Funi. Jacobs Funi won’t ever go down. The Only Wat for this to happen is if Alpha Forgets how to be Funi.

​@@BiollanteGuy time travel I kinda agree with you

Add in the first try Heracross, because that's some real luck right there.

@@bluestar2059 to bad it was the worse heracross he could have gotten

Especially considering how bad his luck with abilities was.

Rattata Ran Away with all the luck for it's flinches

@@happyabbyartsThat Ratata secretly has serene grace

flygon

Mega Gyarados and Mega Absol also be like:

Beedrill and Venomoth:

Druddigon, Giratina, Flapple and Roaring Moon join as well

Latis and Hydreigon

"Huniepop speedrunner" I guess I missed that arc

​@@kittyshippercavegirlapparently me too

That's a new one for me?

696th like, let’s fucking goooo

@@kittyshippercavegirl he only made one video on it

Oh god, he's becoming Jan.

​@@justinecourtneysgavel89 the process has begun. Soon, his evolution will be complete.

​@@patrickcarter2829 And he already has a beard

And he has blond hair

Timeskip alpha

He truly is cursed with knowledge.

I need to also add that his Poliwrath knows Substitute in the rematches. This guy's dedication to landing a Focus Punch is genuinely admirable.

​@@gengarzilla1685 He is focused on his goals.

@@TracerGamer691 and punching

Demoralization strat

ok

ok

27:22 is sus :)

ok

ok

😂

He did understand why Jan freaked out in his reaction. That’s the entire reason Alpha was screaming at CaptainKidd in the clip: he knew the advice was bad but caved in and paid for it

​@@kone7549gotta love how everyone somehow misses the context of the original clip and have no clue he was told to basically murder onix 💀

@@scp-phenomenon014”What did I tell you” bro Alpha knew if Onix didn’t move first thanks to the quick claw, it’d be dead

He knew damn well what the problem with the Onix thing was.

Jacob can't become Jan. Jan doesn't have the narrative storytelling ability. He's said so himself. Jacob would have to become LESS good at telling a story and MORE analytical to become Jan the man who put the ban on the multiple Nuzlockes Jaiden and Alpha ran.

@@SolstaceWinters the transformation changes his nature, nerfs storytelling and boosts analysis

Now we just need Alpha to do an Emerald Kaizo series.

@@SolstaceWinters Jan is getting more energetic and better at story telling, ie he's becoming more like Alpha, in other words they're merging, critical mass coming soon

pronounced Yacob

Seems like the Onix switch in was just yesterday 😂

"This things about to blow the f up" my favourite alpharad quote to date 😂

​@@paulgalley131 😂😂 that and "the motherfucker has wings". Beautiful quotes 😂

what?

@@ymmijx6061 if you don’t know, watch alpharads first nuzzlocle😅

Pokemon Challenges is not even that good at Pokemon

@@internetguy7319 He’s not an expert in the competitive scene, but he’s a pro in the nuzlocking scene, and honestly? Not every skill in those two categories overlap.

There's different ways to be "good" at Pokémon. It's not as straightforward as you insist, Internet Guy.

​@@internetguy7319 he's good at Nuzlockes, which is a different skill set to being good at competitive pokemon. it's like comparing a sprinter to a marathon runner- sure they both run, but Usain Bolt wouldn't win a marathon and Eliud Kipchoge wouldn't win the 100m

@@bugbear2357 I would call them solving complex puzzles vs playing poker.

PLEASE

Video idea @Alpharad

She gives me better battles than Whitney, tbh. Whitney's "difficulty" largely comes from players still having first or middle stage mons against something with the base stat total expected of a fully evolved Pokémon. And without a double weakness. Honestly, if these two switched places then Clair would be even harder and Whitney would be a letdown.

@@gengarzilla1685 if these two switched places then yes, obviously Claire would be harder since she’s later game and Whitney is early…so no shit it’d be harder

I'm saying that Clair would be an even harder third gym leader while Whitney would be a weak eighth gym leader. Level 19 Kingdra is yikes.

@@gengarzilla1685 Yeah, I think Whitney's difficulty often comes from complete lack of preparation. Playing casually, people will start the battle against her completely unprepared, and with great stats for that point in the game, self-healing, and the very dangerous if unanswered Rollout, she can actually wipe teams which is very rare in casual runs, and unexpected that early into the game. But when you come prepared for her she's very easy, because the threat she brings is very one-note. Like a Geodude completely walls her.

To think this is the same man who made the impossible escape room.

Using his trickster god powers for good

and the natures, that Togepi was PAINFUL

Imagine how many videos PokemonChallenges Jan could make just from teaching people (and silently judging them) how to Nuzlocke and how many “Captain Kidd Mewtwo” moments could be stopped through his teachings.

For real. When people don't know things and get confused in videos, it can be frustrating for an audience so it's really nice to have the balance here.

Twitch plays coachlock?

Yeah fr, there's a lot of little details I never think about in Pokemon so having a noob Pokemon player being an audience surrogate is super good

Way more painful to deal with than the Miltank everyone talks about. And that's even with having fully evolved Pokémon this time, rather than being limited to mostly base and mid stage trash like in Goldenrod.

I love watching nuzlockes but this is one of the most entertaining I’ve seen for a while for sure

​@@rue8638 genuinely true, I loved this one!

yes please!

yeah it made me smile :)

It was so sweet. I was like "Wait... isn't that the only?" And then confirmed it.

It is friend in my eyes

Fyrus is the kind of guy to think Twitter is a social media XBOXXX LIVEEEEEEEE

@@_hurglet twitter is social media..... and did you really just like your own comment? what are you, a 12 year old?

@@upisntdownsilly this guy thinks twitter is social media

@@upisntdownsilly bro really thinks twitter is a social media 💀

I am not playing nuzlocke so i don't know anything

@@hybridvenom9 and?

It's quite common. I try to avoid sacrifices as much as I can.

@@ArshadZahid_nohandleideas And I don't know that much okay that's all I know about a nuzlocke is it a pokemon dies it dies that's all I know

@@hybridvenom9 fair enough

I mean it has 80% accuracy. 4/5 is 80%. It's not crazy at all

​@@thesublimeparadigm8863 facts😂. If he would've kept his Mamoswine in he would've had an easier road to the W instead of this

​@@eliteayanokoji8637 Going skarmory was the play, the switching mamo back in was the big mistake he made.

@@fivell facts, but keeping Mamoswime in original would've solved all of that. And he had to acknowledge that when he was in too deep

@@eliteayanokoji8637 Keeping mamoswine in only accomplishes it likely getting outsped and ohko'd by hydro pump. You sac skarmory, go lanturn and fish for a para, then go crobat and try to get damage in, then go gyarados and try to get damage in, and if it's not dead yet mamo might give you the chip you need with ice shard or straight up just kill with earthquake if you did get the para with lanturn

like Misty explaining to Ash that a bug is weak to a bird when Ash was trying to beat a spearow with a caterpie

@@bugbear2357 It was actually a pidgeotto, but yes >.< I think we now know why Ash did so bad with the side coaching. He only heard 10% , remembered 2% and got through with luck.

"IQ hits triple digits" So unless she's coaching him she's below average huh

@ 𝐵𝓇𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒶𝓃𝓉𝒴𝒶𝓂𝒾【闇】 We’re talking in terms of Pokémon anime logic, science revolves around friendship. Triple digit IQ is incredibly impressive

@@amazonbox8717 The average IQ still will be 100, that's how it's designed to be. So even if they all are dumber than people in the real world, their average IQ in that world is still 100

Don't worry, I only smoke weed

​@@rev6983mood🎉

Evolved even.

YOU POSTED THIS WHEN THE VIDEO WAS RELEASED

same, i remember him saying how he'd "never touch this baby game again" but here he is now, a full blown poketuber

@@nicolle2126 i love all of his videos, but his pokemon videos are my favorite

Hi vic

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain

Have you even watched the video? Or am I about to get r/wooooshed

​@@jackandnatehowe2880 r/woooosh

God dammit

@@samsungfrid_ge LMAOO

​@@jackandnatehowe2880 you got wooshed.

Mariopartytuber

Huge agree. I think for standard gameplay you can largely ignore natures for the most part. If you're for super optimal pokemon then sure, but I've spent far too long watching my friend hunt for good nature pokemon over just playing the game. Especially when they aren't even going to like EV train or anything, like it's helpful sure but it's not the end of of world

This only really applies to nuzlockes. You otherwise are overstating the "supposed" hassle of switching a good Pokémon for an even better one.
