Pro Nuzlocker Reacts To Young Yong Tales Nuzlocke 

That transiction into the sponsor ad👌🏼

ma balls gonna be happy this Christmas, thanks pokemonchallenges

I'd leave a comment but Jan thinks the youtube comment section is cringe and he's probably right

Me just being very triggered by PC's Misspronunciation of Golisopod just makes me, *Breeathes in* there is no O befor the S

i died laughing when you transitioned. completely out the left field.

Hey at least you now know and continue on

Looking forward to the next nuzlocke! (if you do another lol)

Durant doesn't look strong, i had no idea how powerful those little ants can be.

Ez Pokemon

@@valvadis2360 It's pretty ironic how Heatmor, the natural predator to Durant, is actually overall weaker than the Pokémon it preys on. XD

Made no sense at all lmao

wym that transition was legendary

@@cycled9073 r/woosh

@@notmewastaken Huh

insta liked the video after that transition :D

I myself personally prefer monotype

@@ultimapower6950 love monotype runs man. Even if ghost is a bitch to play, regular games have only 6-12 on average and romhacks dont give you a lot of them early on.

Palkias weakness is Salamanca and fairy type’

​@@ultimapower6950I also prefer monotypes. Not monotypes nuzlockes though, I greatly prefer watching nuzlockes over actually playing them. But just the challenge of gathering a team that all shares one type and beating the game with it suffices for me.

I've personally enjoyed doing Type challenges. So far, my ruling on Pokemon usable for type challenges has been that if a Pokemon line gets the type(or one of the types) used by the challenge, the entire line is usable. The only area I draw the line for this is with Tera types since I've forgotten to use that on Pokemon that would otherwise not be in my team far too often

Link pls

Same here. Just watched it an hour ago.

I think the reason why fairies resist to bug because it might resemble of bug lovers (in the real world) because they all think bugs are cute, sooo-

@@nerizepansit1032 that makes no sense

@@balancemaster55 love and cuteness (fairy types)>bugs (bug types) Conclusion: most people think they’re (bugs) cute and love them very much so this might be the resemblance on why do fairies resist to bug

I've been using Manscaped for half a year now and I still suck at nuzlockes. Would still recommend Manscaped, my girlfriend likes it.

I’ve wanted to use it as let’s just say I’m getting more hair in “certain” places. Would you recommend for men?

@@jackallen6601 Yes, I'm recommending it for men. When I say "my girlfriend likes it" I meant she likes the effect it has on me xD

@@TheBritishPoro yeah I was a little worried there for a bit lol

This segue made me absolutely die! XD

That's why he does these.

Good thing my first nuzlocke is in Unova.

I always thought roar was a good work around. It’ll probably only work on switch setting though.

@@enigmatic2878 same honestly it's really tough in unova I'm at elite 4 and 8th gym leader is tough so be ready mate

@@Satan-oh7cz my tepig died to a crit from a sawk. My current ace and partner is a stoutland

For a monotype nuzlock in any game You get rid of your starter if it does not match the run. If you keep a mon that's not part of the monotype run that you're choosing then it's not a monotype nuzlock by definition.

@@renkaldt6748 wah wah who cares

@@renkaldt6748 You push up your glasses before you started typing that one?

@@moonblaze2713 twice actually ;p

@@PRAISEdaLloydtbf monotype does mean one type, ig if you rly like the starters then fair enough, but imo the point of it is to be limited in your type availability 🤷‍♂️

Well did she start it? Then it would make sense

@@Tomatism27 practically yeah

I'm sorry? What do you mean by "no reason"?

@@black97_0 risking their mental health just for a video isn't a good enough reason

@@MD.Akib_Al_Azad what?

Maybe he was never going to evolve it, keeping the bug typing present and legal

He literally used his starter through the entire game

​@Alexander Jesús Ramírez Figuera I call it the Matilda clause. All lizards count as "A bug."

Wait so you're saying that Leon is actually the undefeated champion of the Galar region?

@@smithpmusic I think he’s saying that Leon is undefeated, and maybe he’s the champion, it’s pretty vague though

Leon the undefeated Galar Champion is the undefeated Galar Champion? I never knew.

Who is Leon, I feel like I've heard something about an undefeated champion, but I'm not sure from where

Wait Leon is the CHAMPION?????

1k likes and no comments lmao

Wait. How? Just one comment? ( Now 2)

@@lightningdragon666 Because there's probably nothing to talk about the comment

this is high quality.

Ash?? R e d

@@kobe95wazzup yeah lol my bad i jad just finished watching journeys before watching this lol

@@teamacecaptain np bro enjoy ur watch also where do u watch journeys Netflix only has 1 season 😩

imagine they did a soul link

@@kobe95wazzup Netflix now has 3 shows with two of them having multiple seasons.

Not just the opening that tentacruel thing was the plot of a whole episode (back when Ash and gang were on the Orange Islands) but it was censored in the US due to bad timing and I'm not sure it was released/aired since then

@@NamMisa I saw that ep on TV

@@NamMisa Nah, it was normally in Kanto, but shortly after the cruiser sinked. Basically, the events were like this : the ship went under but Ash & co got stuck, James managed to piss off his newly evolved Magikarp who called for help from the Gyaradoss Dragon Rage Gang, they all got stranded on a giant mechanic Pokemon theme park island owned by Team Rocket as a result, they managed to reach some inhabited island right on time for the banned bikini contest episode, then the Tentacruel episode took place.

"Pokémon, It's You And MeEeE- *Giant Fucking Tentacruel Smashes a Building* ...I KNOW IT'S MY DESTI-NEEEY!"

@@ShinuGuardian Yup! Two episodes in a row that stopped being shown (thank you, Bikini James). The episode stopped being aired in Japan due to sensitivity issues after a tsunami destroyed several major cities, and stopped being aired in America because of 9/11.

How?

@@positivea9111 as stated in game, "leon's pants with directions" which i think means he's terrible with directions

@@ssupermarlo You literally go to meet him at the train station to make sure he doesn't get lost ON HIS WAY HOME prior to even getting your starter. His internal compass is probably the equivalent of a compass with it's hands just endlessly spinning like a helicopter rotor. I'm amazed that they don't have to keep him on a leash just to make sure he doesn't wander off and get lost somewhere where he'll never be heard from again.

Bros like Zoro 💀

The funny thing is that merely changing the timeframe would have made him justified and Sword/Shield painfully relevant. If the energy crisis was 100 years away, that is certainly a timeframe justified for harnessing dangerous Dynamax power. That 100 years could be a conservative estimate and people could run out of energy much faster than 100 years, making Rose’s scramble and Leon’s shame at not taking the energy crises seriously make sense. It also parallels the supposed 30 years we have to not live in a radically altered Earth: no one takes it seriously and those who do so are seen as radical so they could have to take drastic steps to preserve the planet as-is. It could have been one of those “bad level design, good relevant story” games. Instead it’s just bad. And note that my point is just the bare minimum to add a semblance of a reason to buy Sword and Shield beyond getting Jirachi in Pokémon BD/SP.

Tbh journeys did like okay with him, still not great but I actually liked the darkest day ark quite a bit bc we got to see the rampaging dynamax pokemon and their effects on the environment/people around them, though I do wish it was extended so that we could actually have a plot point and not just random filler episodes for no reason yk? But yeah it goes into his backstory a bit more and explains his toxic mentor relationship with Leon pretty well too. His motivation actually makes a lot more sense in the anime, though I do have my grievances with some parts of that. I'm liking what I've been seeing recently though from what I can find of the newer english dub, tbh I think pokemon fans can lack patience sometimes bc journeys is actually getting pretty good now with Chloe and an actual motivation for Goh who was frankly a pseudo-static character before that point.

like the fact it goes from ' ive summoned a legendary ' to ' i forgot how much i enjoyed pokemon battles ' which sucks so hard

Rose parallels the crisis IRL, so much potential for a great villain with actually memorable and reasonable motives

Yeah, that wasn't really fair.

SO true lol

I hate this. You're completely right.

Lapras Though mamoswine is still the champ for killing that annoying garchomp with ice shard

Same with ground and steel for rock lol

Ice type is a type you don’t play with. At least Rock types tend to be physically defensive even if their combinations tend to be bad.

Set?

​@@Tsareena_MangosteenNot allowing players to swap in response to their opponent swapping in.

Yeah, there is no 'o' between 'i' and 's'.

As someone who loves this pokemon regardless of it's terrible ability...yeah I had to facepalm his pronunciation.

"Skorupie" was a definite highlight.

Actually died three times after hearing that

@@shadowrypre emergency situationally exit is good in nuzlockes

They even have them as well like Giovanni has a master ball for some reason

They don't even catch them before, their plan is basically bring a giant XXL collar and drag them like a locked beast

Kinda makes sense imo. The Legendaries don't obey the villains because of their cruelty and abuse, but the Player Character is pure of heart and treats the Legendaries well. It's telling that the only two main series villains who succeeded at controlling Legendaries were N from Black/White (who is also pure of heart and kind to his Pokemon) and [SPOILER REDACTED] from Legends Arceus (who was definitely _not_ pure of heart, but shared a common goal with their Legendary).

@@CJCroen1393 Right...True of heart...yea.... Now excuse me as I shake down youngster joey for all his Lunch Money again

@@CJCroen1393 And then they all have their respective legendaries in Team Rainbow Rocket, so there's at least one dimension where they actually got them

Agreed.

I'm a really casual nuzlocker so I don't really care about the learning, but seeing Jan's reactions is the whole reason I want to watch a reaction video. If I didn't want pausing I'd just go re-watch the original again.

for real. Honestly I probably would've completely bombed my first nuzlocke without this guy's insight

Having someone react just makes it feel like it’s not just me listening to an animation but someone else seeing it along with me

Exactly! I also use it for my own nuzlockes and sometimes to get myself into the mindset with competitive, alongside with Wolfey

Also the fire type in kanto is the worst for those who don't know about the game since the first two gyms wall charmander

I caught that when he was pulling out Centiskorch and couldn't help but chuckle.

Imagine if ice resisted dragon and grass. It'd be so much better

In my opinion ice should resist grass and fairy at the very least and also hit super effective on fairy, it makes logical sense with how winter makes nature less active

Ground mostly or even rock (bc glaciers can absolutely move mountains and actual ice irl is way stronger than most people think). Bug and grass need better type match ups to keep up as well bc theyre really way too weak at the moment

Remove bug resist to fairy make it immune to dark types Make grass immune to fairy n hit fairy for 2x damage Ice should resist water n bug, grass, itself n dragon Fire immune to steel Fighting should resist steel Game balanced right there Upgrade base power of ghost moves Introduce a dark weather effect to power up ghost and dark n bug Fixed your game

@@nautgamingnautgaming9949 Way too many immunities and why in the living fuck would you buff ghost? It's the new gen 5 dragon type as is

The boss when you fight it vs. When you get it.

Wtf why

What moves does it benefit from Hone Claws off? (genuine q)

@@sweetwheatsy Hone Claws boosts accuracy which cancels the accuracy drop you get from Hustle

@@RipperJack77 Oh hecc yeah!! That is so good

And also give a attack boost

Plus it becomes bus-sized when it’s Dynamaxed!

yeah

Absolutly true

That's my favourite part about Jan he has his preferred rules but says to pick whatever rules work.

Yeah, I did my own first nuzlocke recently and the only rules were the basic ones: Name your pokemon; if the pokemon dies you can't use it again, and only one encounter per route. I also added an extra rule that forced me to play the way I would normally do, meaning I WOULD train my pokemon (which I normally don't) but I wouldn't check trainers' teams, build strategies or rely on swipping teams with a buffed pokemon. Just pure damage. After playing it, I reached the decision that training your pokemon is boring as all hell even with the emulator's speed up function, so next time I'll hack in some Rare Candy, which I consider cheating because I lost pokemon while training last time, but training is just not fun at all, so fuck that. There's also this friend of mine that adds a billion rules to make it more fun to him, like finding Max Revives counting as a revived pokemon, being able to generate any item he needs to evolve a pokemon, or having 2 or 3 encounters per route with the possibility of running away from one of them. I don't approve of any of those, but it makes it fun for him, so it's okay

@@cosmefulanito6854 Reminds me of years ago, can’t remember where but I remember watching a Nuzlocke series on RU-vid where the person playing allowed themself to revive one pokemon after the 8th gym I personally think it detracts from the point of nuzlockes, from a standpoint of both emotional detachment and challenge, but i also dont think its harming anyone so if people wanna do it thats cool

Segue

@@Fanimati0n apparently segue means he follows

Lmao I got so blindsided

Another cool benefit of DLC: depending on your ruleset, you can go to Crown Tundra with just a single weak Pokemon and lose to Peony. You don't actually white out upon losing to him, which is usually considered the lose condition of a Nuzlocke. Then you can run into the Tundra and grind Ore to get some Ability Patches for things like Libero Cinderace and Grassy Surge Rillaboom

One time I was doing a sword nuzlocke, my starter died and I got so sad I played the game normally

Meet my Rillaboom.

@@KingRock9717 Ah Rillaboom. I fought him at the end during the fight against Leon. I'll admit he was tough but in all fairness grass types are strong against water types. I can't really remember the fight but I don't think I put my Inteleon up against Rillaboom

go do a Nuzlocke, _nerd_

Hear me out, Gaia for Zacian. Gaia the Furs Knight. No? Okay 😔

I'm currently playing through Renegade Platinum and catching and nicknaming everything. My proudest one is naming a Gulpin Freud.

I usually pick a theme when I start. one time was anime characters, so my infernape was named jolyne, my hitmonchan was ippo, and so on (it was also a monotype run. still gotta finish that actually). another was just musical references, I got a tyranitar and named it godzilla, because of the song. was really proud of that one. there was also that one time I spend like 30+ balls on a chatot, that was paralyzed and on red health. named him NormCuatro the fourth legendary bird. (if only his second type wasn't normal... could get a cooler name). General Cuatro didn't fit

i know right, its so obscure, the fact leon is the UNDEFEATED champion... wow, im so glad i caught that obscure fact in the lore...

Pokemon Showdown players Unite

@@jpegcrust getting very very lucky, and also using quiver dance on frosmoth, I somehow managed to get out of that one deathless.

shuckle the GOAT

@@jpegcrust I have no idea about availability in this game, but a Masquerain with intimidate and Rain dance seems really good for this fight, as the sandstorm actually buffs the gym leader more than many people realize. Especially if you give your Pokémon speed Evs or have sticky web on a mon, this fight shouldn’t be too hard I think

seriously, every video. like he heard the guy say he never did a nuz run before and that he never even played the game and he keeps pointing out failures like these two things arent facts about the current player hes watching..

@@cryofist Which might be weird, if this video was only about Young Yong. But it isn't. This video is meant to help people learn how to do better in their Nuzlockes, and playing around crits is a very important skill to learn in order to do that. Particularly so since so many people evidently don't realize it's even possible to play around crits. This is educational, and examples assist education.

I did the same for Black 2.

Same

Yup
