PokeRogue: An Increasingly Insane Roguelike Pokemon Game 

Do you have any plans to finish this run?

Will you play more Pokémon fangames?

Don't tell me you're ending this before the actual ending man :( you were close too!

Me be me: noooooo I want moreeeee

MOAR pokerogue!

Omg that makes so much sense, it made the game so much harder completely randomly and I just thought I was bad haha.

And then the video launched the same day as emerald rogue 2.0

I was curious why I was suddenly fighting Plasma Grunts. I just though I had bad luck in never finding them.

I lost a really good run because team plasma rocked my shit

@@sparkz3432 I do actually like the evil teams, they make EXP management a lot less rough on runs where you can’t find EXP shares, and add some much needed spice to the midgame, which was easily the least interesting part of the run before.

In his gen 5 nuzlockes he grew to like oshawott

The BW(2) nuzlockes really changed him for the better. He is now part of the Oshawott gang

Makes sense. Those are the three he's done major Pokemon playthroughs with

@@lilyblossom9438 exactly! Cyndaquil was Arson in his HGSS Nuzlocke, Oshawott was Failure(?) in B2W2, and Rowlet was Dr. Hoo in Leggy Acres

As he should, Oshawott is terrible. And you can call this bait if you want, I suffered through my brother's Black 2 game (having never played Black/White) just so we could get Move Tutors availability in X/Y... and he chose that wretched otter. I genuinely had to box that thing for a better water type because it couldn't perform a single good move. Thing was awful. I probably would have taken EITHER of the other two over it. And karma bit me in the ass and announced ORAS like.... a week or two after I finally completed the game - whining about how I wasn't having fun the whole time. (I've never cared for pokemon plots, and I didn't know what was going on, compounded on Black 2 being a genuine sequel, so people talked about things with a familiarity that I didn't have.) My tone might change now about the games (having seen RT's playthroughs) and being older than I was then, but I don't think I will about the Oshawott line.

Yeah I kinda wish you could throw in like a narrative sense, like she probably wins stupid amount but that just starts the run over right? Either you win and she spirals or she wins and reality restarts.... does the plot lighten up ever? This video is my only experience of the game

@@jameshenderson4094 it does get better! Spoilers: after the wave 145 battle where the rival doesn't say anything there's one more rival fight close to the end, and there the rival is more talkative again lol. And if you beat the game you get a happy pic with them

She pulls out a fricking legendary like omg

I mean, If I somehow catch a boss Rayquaza and still somehow get my ass beat by my rival, I'd probably mald too tbh

@@lucas_sin_s :D

ror2 family event moment

A better rival story than anything Gamefreak has made in 10 years

I felt like it was less obesssion, and her desperately trying to stop RT from causing a mass poke-stinction

@@dekkonotCalem/Serena went through a similar arc. When you fight them outside the Pokemon League they’re considering giving up on their dream of becoming Champion.

@@dekkonot the closest they got to that is N and Kieran which is why they're my favorite rivals lmao

@@rukhtalos8587 I'm glad you mentioned Calem / Serena because that was my first thought too

Pretty good detail lmao At first she wants to be your rival to get you home, but now she doesn't even want to play the part of it. She just wants you to go back home with her.

Yeah the rival storyline hits you hard. The CIA should take Psyop lessons from the devs

I'm pretty sure he mentioned in a recent video he literally has it on hotkey now

@@touchdom He did

[Wii sports theme intensifies]

Turn the left card...

Retrigger the first played… pokemon? Twice…?

destroy two selected pokemon from your hand

1/4 chance to add Foil, Holographic, or Polychrome to a random pokemon

They did make an official Pokemon roguelike it's called mystery dungeon 😂

HELL naw. GameFreak makes a version, they're gonna screw up something fundamental, then make excuses for why and blame the fans. I trust them so little at this point, I'd rather they just subcontract their IP out to someone else that gives a shit about making fun games.

My sleep schedule and body clock is fcked thanks to this game

@@dsalucasthat game was ass

Depends, explorers of sky was amazing

Oh, is that why I suck at this game? I don't know a thing about competitive

​@@kutsen39Having knowledge of competitive is helpful. But honestly, as someone who is only very vaguely aware of the competitive scene, the best help I've had is just having a type chart and bulbapedia open to search what certain moves and Pokemon can do.

There's actually a ROM hack of Emerald that's just this but more based into the Pokémon Gameplay. I.E, going down random routes, catching Pokémon, doing gyms, and such.

@@Hunterofyeets which is also a flavor text in pokerogue occasionally of just "try emerald rogue!"

any tips on beating it? i got as high as 195 haha. i get attached to pokémon and keep them on my team even when they’re weaker which probably hurts me in the long run

@@no-qz4ibeasiest way is to build around rayquaza and last boss weakness, mainly fairy type or a dragon sweeper. Starting with a Pokémon with no evolution is actually quiet good because you can steamroll early game. And get good luck of course

@@opatzo9165 thanks! i was going in blind so the rayquaza really caught me off guard 😭😭 i tried to be a little silly and destiny bond it, but obviously the devs thought of that and it didn’t work lol. do you get rid of that no-evolution mon eventually?

@@no-qz4ib depends. Best option for non evolution Mon is obviously legendaries as you can easy bring them to endgame. As for others it’s really just a matter of situation. Are you lacking certain type, is the mon not being used, is there better option available and things like that. Usually a good cue to change mon for me is when it’s not used for more than 10 rounds and there’s a mon with same type in team

I get really attached to my teams too, lol. Admittedly I don’t think I’m the best person to ask advice from since I ended up using save-scumming in order to beat the game, but I utilized lots of annoying tactics like Serperior Leech seed and Umbreon toxic/moonlight in order to win most of the bigger battles.

Ivy is definitely not ok, she’s going through some stuff

Oh, just wait till the last Ivy fight - girl goes crazy

She's so creepily desperate and clingy when I'm like "I've no idea who you even are get away from me". Wouldn't be surprised if the player character left for their pokemon journey just so she'd have to leave them alone, only for her to keep stalking and following them

She's definitely going through an existential crisis

@@NukkuiskoHyvinVaiPois It kinda feels like that with a lot of Pokemon rivals, but they made it really obvious in this game

and gambling

Sometimes you get good runs, sometimes you don't. My first run made it to 180ish I think, and a LOT of others since did not.

I straight up beat classic mode for the first time on my second run, funnily enough.

Skeledirge carries. You can easily get a win on your first run with Skeledirge+Meowscarada+any good water (I usually use Mudkip for coverage and mega potential). Then, pray for a map and then route to anywhere Nacli is before 145, because Garganacl is broken. If you want to make the final boss a joke, find something that can learn Soak, bring it in on the recharge turn to make the final boss Water, and Salt Cure will kill him in 5 turns

Mine was 155 with a lot of my favorites: Excadrill absolute MVP and swept so many bosses (Swords Dance, Rock Slide, Earthquake, and Drill Run), Torterra (Curse, Trailblaze, synthesis, Headlong Rush), Conkelldur (Bulk up, Hammer Arm, Stone Edge, Drain Punch), Infernape surprisingly one of my weaker members (Acrobatics, Raging Fury, Close Combat, Calm Mind), and Registeel (Iron Defense, Zap Cannon, Heavy Slam, and Superpower). I was not ready for how unhinged the rival would get after each fight.

@@ltntwafflz9043 excadrill is an absolute beasttttt of a pokémon. used one in a run yesterday (i never use excadrill despite knowing how powerful it is, idk why lol) and i was amazed at how easily it took things down. got really unlucky with matchups though and lost in the 115 team boss fight (ghetsis)

I'm glad you had a good run! It's so nice when someone recognizes Primarina's tanky stats. They're one of my favorite pokemon, but all anyone ever talks about is their first evolution

@@Roserae16 i must be out of the loop. do people not like brionne?

raxdflipnote reference!?!!?!

An Oran Berry is actually a very rare find, considering it’s not in Pokérogue

Let’s go gambling! >master ball I can’t stop winning! >reviver seed I can’t stop winning! >relic gold I can’t stop winning!

​@@SirTacoVr immediately wipes Aw dang it

I can’t help but feel bad for her, she strikes me as someone that just wanted their friend/crush o come home after a brief pokemon adventure only for them to end up being way more talented than she expected so she has to keep pushing herself and her pokemon to the edge to catch up with them and hopefully one day get them to come home.

She's also one hell of a trainer lmao I can't remember a previous rival who's managed to catch fucking Rayquaza for one Her team is actually well put together as well.

FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS FINN

The amount of alcohol you'll consume will be significant

My liver will be significantly impaired

Its like a 50% chance its Miraidon

Is the android app on the Google play store?

unrelated but holy carp wet mouse spotted!!

@@moonlit_ruffles wawa :P

this comment might actually be really significant!

What's a redlike?

game is fricken amazing... im just waiting for the sad day Nintendo takes it down, idk why they haven't already...

@@waron4fun597they dont care unless the devs ask for money in anyway. This isnt going anywhere

didnt know you watched RTgame also Mr. Terraria

Huh she didn’t

The BLINDING of my eye sacs.

It covers ghost :D

They only have one weakness and a good pool of moves, that's not bad!

tbf it hits all but 3 types for neutral damage

its miraidon because of the machine he got it from

​@@DurianFruit It's not guaranteed to be Miraidon. It could still be anything in the legendary pool, it's just more likely to be Miraidon.
