I like how Jan explained Stab to someone in chat. There's always newcomers to pokemon and it's terminology. He never acts like genuine questions like this are "stupid". He actually educates his viewers.

Jan sounds like he is trying so hard not to call the sponsor cringe😂

17:30 What's even funnier is that in Gen 4 Payback also doubles its power if the opponent switches out, as the game still treats the switch as the opposing Pokémon acting first. This means that Payback probably had the power to kill 4 Espeon LMFAO.

PC: "You can always get it for free" The guy in pokemon red who sells a magikarp for 500 pokedollars:

ludwig: you literally cannot hit my ghost type brave bird: let me introduce myself

“Keeping a lot of Pokémon alive is really really valuable early, so you should probably always do that.” - the best Pokémon Nuzlocker

"PROBABLY the greatest Nuzlocker" Nah king sit proud upon the throne

Dude's reaction to a 1/512 shiny is more hysterical than my 1/8192 shiny reaction

Ludwig's gameplay in this video seems like a drastic improvement from what I remember in his old Nuzlocke. I'll have to go back and watch to see the contrast but respect for leveling up

Theres no way the sponsor looked at this and said: yeah were gonna pay him for this.

Notice how Jan has an actually good intro this time. POG

That final team is why I like nuzlockes man. No one would have gone in willingly with it but it worked!

Man just finished watching attempt 151. Should be made into an anime

Me: "lol thats funny af" Jan, an intellectual: "thats a very good comedic analysis there"

God that sponsor advertisement sounds so awkward, he really doesn't sell it good at all xD I love it.

You had me at dinosaurs.

Can we get a moment of silence for those lud silenced for months

The rare candies really make this a lot more enjoyable

PC's picks for background music are excellent.

I was actually one of the starters in like the 4th run, I was banned for 3 months lol

god, the "34 hours into the stream" facecam and "it's like he's in a spaceship with critical engine failure" both had me rolling, great commentary

“Don’t get attached to your Pokémon. It’s stupid.” Probably said by the best nuzlocker in the universe. Also him, 18:21

An interesting realization I've had about this style of hardcore nuzlockes is that they play similarly to Rogue-like games(like Gungeon and Hades). Every run is different, and you keep doing runs, improving your personal skill until you beat the game. The big difference here is that runs can last 30 hours instead of 30 minutes. Turn-based strategy game vs bullet-hell though, so that may make up for the hefty time of pokemon runs.

Funny how this video comes out on the day I finally beat Renegade Platinum (what this game's based on) myself. Been trying since January and I'm honestly glad to just be done with it.

23:06 I'm genuinely surprised that so many people have read Ender's Game before. It's definitely a classic and the sequels were even better!

Disappointment: I was really curious how Jan would do a transition from dinosaurs to NordVPN...

I’m 28 now, and my greatest and closest friend of my entire life is essentially an evolved version of the “PCHal to Ludwig”. A lot of people would be irritated like “Jan is calling him a dumb F**k and being mean!!” but over the years u realize those words, spoken by those people, aren’t malicious. I doubt Ludwig and Jan are great friends by any stretch, but the point remains. My buddy and I have been friends for 20 years now, and I sent him a video of me eating a Carolina reaper, raw, and he called me a dumb f**k. And he was right lmfao, it hurt. He wasn’t being mean, he was just being right.

PC: Makes fun of Ludwig's pronunciations also PC: "This game makes you fight Cheren"

I have to say, after watching so many people do normal and professional sponsors, I absolutely adore Jan's way. Never change 👊

About shinies. In my runs, I allow myself to use a shiny IF it’s the exact same as one of my previous Pokémon (ex. Raticate with guts replacing Raticate with guts) or if it’s my normal route encounter. If it’s neither, it gets a dedicated box and cannot be used. Unfortunately, no shinies yet so this is only a hopeful rule lmao Edit: he has almost the exact same rule lmao

Would be pretty dope to see you get a shiny Zangoose, ngl

Ludwig: "I can shove you into a locker" Jan: "And I'll still be roasting your ass"

Beedrill’s platinum sprite looks like it’s ready to throw hands.

I was waiting for Nord VPN to be the sponsor, and I was waiting for the connection between dinosaurs and Nord VPN

Jan, actually being a great teacher. Also Jan: “Fuck you and your dreams :D”

I enjoy the use of "Ludwig, the Holy Blade" during the rival fight at Celestic Town.

Just opened the video, typing this during the ad. Can't wait for this educational case study in nuzlocking. I expect to play a lot of Gen 4 after BDSP drop so I look forward to learning from Ludwigs mistakes w/out judgement and applying them to my personal playthroughs.

Guess you could say that burning the Machamp... Really took Guts

Now I'm curious on PC's views on Team Four Star's infamous nuzlockes. Especially the Soul Silver one.

Ludwig explaining how he isn’t cheating by getting his Dratini through dupes clause, as if it wasn’t his second Eterna City encounter.

Jan, I think after EK, you can proudly claim that you’re truly the best nuzlocker in the world. Make those pokemon A.I.s tremble in fear!!!

To anyone wondering, the music that starts at 37:25 is Ken Stage from Smash Bros. Ultimate

You should react to a RU-vidr named SilphSpectre videos, he has a bunch of nuzlocke recaps by playing through a single type, pretty cool to watch.

I genuinely believe Ludwig throws a LOT of fights for content because sometimes he makes fantastic plays and plans really well, but then just fails to follow through on his own plans. Not saying he doesn't genuinely fuck up because my god he does, but he definitely throws at least 50% for content

Editor out plays Jan at 7:25 “See what I did there Tyrone, I saved you from having to edit out the swear word and now you have to edit out this section of me talking about the swear word instead” Doesn’t have to edit the swear and just leaves Jan talking about it in. Well played.

I don’t know if this is for everyone but I would never want to restart my nuzlockes when I lost because of all the grinding and the work but now that I use the rare candies after watching you I’m more inclined to restart my run and I find it a lot better actually

Hey PC your intros have come a long way!! Keep it up!

11:16 I do this too, got a shiny Golett in my X hardcore nuzlocke (yeah I know X is easy but it was my first hardcore) while grinding and my actual encounter on that route was a golett as well

I love seeing the shiny clause that ludwig brought up because it reminds me of my shiny clause if it will ever happen, I give myself the option to permanently replace the encounter that was already there, but before I look at its stats, if the encounter I already had was dead, then I can't replace it

Ive played pokemon my whole life and you have just taught me what stab means😂

love how at 20:20 he was playing the song that plays when you fight Ludwig the accursed in bloodborne

23:10 man the Ender's Game books were sooo damn good!

I've encountered 4 shinies in 3 of my Gen 4 Nuzlockes (Platinum, Platinum Waterlocke, and SoulSilver), of which I caught 3 of them. One of them was a Graveler in the Waterlocke that exploded before I could catch it. :( The other three were a Tentacool in SoulSilver, a Bidoof and a Shellos in my current Platinum run, the Shellos now being a Gastrodon and on my team. I caught it almost immediately after starting to train up my regular Shellos, just after beating Commander Mars in Valley Windworks, so I replaced my regular with my Shiny. Bidoof was found while I was EV training an Aipom for Fantina because I didn't trust my Luxio to handle things. Because I lost my Roselia and Kricketune to an Ace Trainer's Haunter with Shadow Ball, Curse, Mean Look and Confuse Ray, and my Luxio got confused when he had to take it out, so I had to sac off my Kricketune to heal him so he could finish the battle. My Roselia died because I needed to heal my Luxio before Kricketune's death, because Roselia had the highest Sp. Def of my team, but then he got trapped by Mean Look, Cursed and Sp. Def dropped by Shadow Ball, and he only had Giga Drain to attack with, so I just had to watch him die, which was really heartbreaking, coz I really wanted to use a Roserade on my team. I found all of the shinies while I was grinding, either for levels or for EVs, or both. And I have NEVER encountered full odds shinies in my Gen 4 games before I started doing Nuzlockes. In my Black/White Nuzlockes, I only really grind on wild Audino though, so I probably only have a chance of encountering Shaking Spot shinies, not that I really want one of those... And I don't even need to EV train against wild Pokémon in Gen 6, when I can instead do Super Training, which is much faster. I've also only encountered 1 Shiny in gen 6 and 1 shiny in gen 7 and none at all in gen 8 yet, as well as none ever in gen 5. I will catch any Shiny Pokémon that I find, but I will only use those that will actually be helpful to me, like the Shellos.

First thing I thought when i saw his vid was “Yep, PCHAL content”

I have been waiting for this

I have been WAITING for this LET'S GO

Now we need a rom that has Jan as the champion with the hardest difficulty

HONEY WAKE UP, NEW PC UPLOAD !!!!!

I've been waiting for this I'm excited

your commentary is awsome. thanks for the wondrous videos you provide, friend.

Here is my view on the Shiny clause: First off it depends on the game esp romhacks if the encounter rates are modded there is no shiny clause and even when the shiny clause is in effect I am not allowed to intentionally farm them. Also replacing pokemon with shiny versions is always allowed. Also there is no issue with catching all shinies even when the nuzlock rules would not allow for it but it just gets put into the pc and can't be used exept maybe for hms in older games but not in combat.

Putting this back in to boos algorithm

Your laughter at Tyler tho 😂😂😂😂

It really is a measure of knowledge with the lens/filter of Pokemon. Flare Blitz has recoil and it’s awesome when others rank their knowledge of it and they show you you’re a bit more knowledgeable

29:10 easily the funniest shit I've seen since the pandemic started

When you mentioned the shiny clause I felt like I should say that my shiny clause is the simple one of just replacing whatever living pokemon with the shiny (my clause for trade evos [when applicable] is that I can ignore dupes in a route and catch another pokemon in that evo line and release it to evolve the trade evo), HOWEVER, the only 2 shinies I got in nuzlockes (Also my only shinies in general) were first encounters. Shiny gastly in eterna forest I platinum, and shiny finneon in bdsp (was fishing for a finneon, unfortunately it died right before the e4 because Barry's torterra lived the ice beam) So basically I have a pretty simple shiny clause, it's just never came into effect.

Just got home after work, finally some more quality Jan content

I like the soundtracks from chrono trigger you're adding while explaining. Chrono Trigger ftw :D

I just want to second that Enders Game is a fucking AMAZING short little novel. And if you liked that, then read Red Rising, my fave of that genre ever. Basically Ender + Hunger Games with a little Star Wars thrown in as it develops in scale.

The sponsored part of Jan's videos are so awkward that their great

At 37:14 the Avengers theme on kazoo going straight into Ken's theme from Street Fighter was so hype and hilarious 😂

Atrioc being the Team Galactic Leader means more now, lol

Noone is allowed skip the ad read, the set-up was too damn good

Why Lud wasn’t using Politoed on that elite four team bewilders me, like, rain would make that team pretty insane and you could probably just pummel through resists

Professor Jan bringing another great video full of insight.

In his last box view you can see he has a Politoed. If it has Drizzle he probably should've brought that for a bit more of a rain team

OGs know this is the second time this was posted

They tried to replace Cynthia, but she wasn't having it

37:40 its Kens theme from SF II

full chuckle at the dramatic lighting joke. 10/10

Speaking of renegade platinum I'm trying to do it in fewer attempts then you did witch was the really high number of 4 currently on attempt 2 just finished destroying volkner but trying to plan for 20 different elite four teams (4 per) is so hard probably going to take me a third attempt using this one to test the waters of the elite 4 but I am determined to do it

I have my own rule for my Nuzlockes, which is "shiny may be dupes, but only 1 shiny per route", s i have a second counter for shinies per route, and 1 shiny per Pokemon line. I have been thinking about using shinies as resurrection for fainted ones, so costs me the shiny, but i dunno. Ludwig talking cool, but many of his pkmn faint in illogical ways, eh? I play randomized, so abilities cannot be planned out beforehand, unless i check the spoiler log. So i'd be lucky to not feel the 33% or lower HP buffs, but unlucky to fight an otherwise doable elite 4 team with huge/pure power on their physical attacker(s). And lately i started to force lvl 45 pokemon on trainers to be fully evolved. You know what's fun to use? Shuckle with dark/ghost types and shell/battle armor ability XD Super tank. No super effective moves and crits against it. Plus immune to 3 types. I play gen 3 still, btw... eventually gen 4. In the future i'll buff up trainers to the maximum of what the randomizer can do, and force all trainer pkmn being fully evolved at lowest level.

The best part of these videos is seeing peoples pronunciations for things. Actually this Ludwig dude is funny because he makes the goofiest decisions but still makes it through ( like the Black 2 run)

the song is kens theme from the street fighter series, but i believe its a remix thats at least not in the main series of games

19:02 hmmmmm I don't know, in nuzlockes I kinda feel Shell/Battle Armor are better, in combo with some recovery/stall/setup. EK proved this point pretty clearly, right?

If this is just renegade platinum, that Marshtomp sweeps this gym with an expert belt...

Hahaha introduction to the sponsorship was hilarious

Love Spekkio's theme during the explanations! xD

Renegade platinum Eevee: evolve it after level 22 (learns wish) into Umberon. Absolute god.

jan has actual good youtube intros now, i feel like a proud dad

That was the most enthusiastic ad read I have ever seen

can't fuckin wait for smallants video to eventually come out on this. dude is insanely talented

That fucking Chrono Trigger background music I heard is amazing.

Holy shit that One Piece soundtrack slaps

I love these reaction videos

Your description of early wipes makes me feel better about my one Nuzlocke attempt where I wiped at Morty.

I didn't even realize you started using rare candies outside of EK, but I personally came to the same conclusion a few weeks ago lmfao. Almost exactly what Ludwig said BUT how do you feel about using vitamins like Lud here?

Only real ones saw this before it was private

That was...freaking intense man!
