Pro Nuzlocker Tries Pokemon Radical Red 

Hoenstly, i'm surprised he went through with it. Yes, you CAN grind bedews that way, if they are the same level.

yeah, that was really annoying for a casual play when i just wanted to evolve my scatterbug to a vivilion and give it sleep powder before the brock battle, but nah, level cap and sleep clause are a thing

@@gdxnsk If you’re wanting a CFRU hack that still allows for more casual play, Pokémon Unbound has difficulty settings.

@@itzsquishy3712 I just brute forced it. “Who hits their moves first?!” It was me

@@itzsquishy3712 I play this blindly and Misty clapped me with her protean frogadier.

i think he said boss trainers which the rival fight most certainly are but feel free to correct me if im wrong :)

Going in blind is what is supposed to make it hard. He gives up the right to say the game was easy since he looked that up imo. So much for a "Pro Nuzlocker"...

@@furoCrossbreaker all boss documenation was used including items, natures, movesets, and ev spreads. As well as early game strats and encounters to make nuzlocke significantly easier

I mean, the documentation is available for everyone lmao. He’s just using everything that’s at his disposal, who cares, the games only difficult in certain places because the fights require insane preparation, there is 0 chance of beating this game when you are completely blind, example is the double battle in silph, the chances of winning that with 0 preparation are so god damned minuscule dude

@@itzsquishy3712 (A youtuber named Viz beat it blind doing a locke which makes him better then PC but go on...)It is! But for such a cocky individual as PC is don't you think he should of gone in blind to flex and prove just how "Easy" it is. I mean if he truly is a "Pro" and "Best Nuzlocker in the world" then that would surely be nothing to such a mighty individual. Granted it is a made up title to begin with and nobody gave it to him, being a self given title and all but my point still stands. His EGO should be disgusted with him for taking the easy out when he could of proven himself to truly be the best don't ya think? Plenty of people have attempted blind lockes of it and still are so by those standards even them attempting blind makes them better then him as of now. All because he didn't have the guts to do it like the "Pro Nuzlocker" he is XD.

Challenging? Don't you mean unfair?

@@matalinoe4059 explain to me how radical red is unfair

@@Dzicozan mostly giving gym leaders access to things you cant get yet like mega evolutions and items. the game is still great but stacked againsed you.

@@wanderinglizardwizards6473 you can have type advantage by building your team properly, have more pokemon than your opponent up until Gym 5 (and get the mega band before that) and have a human brain to actually play the fights better than the AI.

@@Dzicozan Oh! I guess putting an uber mon every single important fight is fair. Not to mention, AI that can predict your moves before you even use them, I guess that's also fair.

Definitely. The Kaizo’s difficulty comes from unfair restrictions and limitations while the difficulty in this game mostly comes from being outplayed/interesting strategies

Idk, this game will boil down to you having to catch a specific pokemon for a specific fight or multiple. Then breeding for the right Ivs, ev training for hours and grinding for half an hour just to get outsped and one shotted by an opponent who is using a move that the pokemon doesn't learn until 10+ levels later.

@@cammy649 You can literally get max EVs in around 5 minutes of grinding on speed up using the EV training items given to you starting from before Misty. You don't even have to breed when you have the DexNav given to you right before Viridian Forest. You're just complaining without even knowing the options available to you.

@@cammy649 What fortseven said. The game gives you all the tools to conveniently rebuild your team, and never throws you into scenarios where it's unfair. The fact PC is able to Nuzlocke this game fairly handily proves that you're just not trying hard enough.

@@GermanKinsmen I mean, PC’s streams were 5 hours of theory crafting and grinding followed by 10 minutes of sweeping the gym.

Nah it is actually super organic

It's actually super grass fairy

"rom hack isn't too hard. I just gave you an unfair advantage by giving some trainers pokemon moves that can't normally be learned, or will learn at a much higher level then what they are at, looking at you Gary's electivire in silph co. Oh also somehow you'll always be outsped no matter what."

@@cammy649 because it's fully EV trained. If you EV trained you'd outspeed given the right mon. EV training is very easy in this game and all power items are obtainable with surf

@@Bievahh yeah I think the game has optimally trained mons for battles

Whoaaaa I feel like I should have known that about static; unless that’s a quirk this mod added like super luck giving you more encounters with held items

thanks man!! was just playing that and wondered why i only find electric pokemon lmao

@@vackrakristaller static just does that

For sure. Doing a nuzlock in 2.3 should really be a challenge, even for pc

@@joseaires1381 bro I one tried Clair with aegislash ang garchomp 😐

@@LX3CT_639 Yeah to be honest the guaranteed brokemons midgame are really what screws the balance of the hc nuzlocke. Easy solution tho: no gift mons. Gotta CATCH them all, if you will.

@@LX3CT_639 wait so you’re mad that you ran through someone when you used two of the most broken mons in the game 😂?? If you don’t want it to be too easy then don’t use broken mons it’s kinda that simple

2.3a on regular or even restricted isn’t too hard, it’s probably even easier than vindub since there’s almost no double battles and regular trainers are actually free 2.3a hc mode tho is almost as hard as ek, but it removes all the bullshit like rng abuse (brightpowder, focus band, quick claw), and is more fair in the tools you get as the player

Grinding in RR is not too bad. Since there is a soft level cap you are kinda stuck at certain levels. The exp share keeps your guys relatively the same level and there is a slight exp boost from other games. I think RR's goal was to remove the grinding aspect.

@@bryanlariviere5702 even EV training is relatively fast, with the Dexnav and Macho Brace/Power Items

Bryan Lariviere radical reds goal was to remove the grinding aspect??? Are you referring to the same radical red in this video?????

Censoring by cutting the sound completely makes me feel like the video is constantly freezing up. ...Sad part is, the censoring is potentially pointless, cause the word "Radical" in the title will likely trip RU-vid's automated flagging anyway.

@@riggerzagain3444 i dont c any hard grind either. ev done ina few minutes. whole team in like 15 minutes if you re fast with double matches active. new mons get easily a few k xp from wild audinos. every tm endless usable, most competetive items early game available. pseudo legendariers easy cheap for low amounts of money ( raid dens easy farm) and so on. i d say yes, radical red tries to focus on battles instead of grinding.

Dude I was trying this shit all weekend, and I realized immediately after his Faulkner battle.... His battle was a lot easier than the one I had.... (Level 12 emolga with lightning rod)

Yeah i noticed this as well. Just started my playthrough a few days ago and i lost a few mons to falkner the first time i talked to him. Cant remember the exact levels but he outleveled me by a fair amount the first time i encountered him. Luckily he didn't manage to wipe my team and i was able to beat him with pikachu and simipour play nice spam. Still a very difficult fight compared to the version he was playing on.(I went into this game completely blind meaning no looking up where things were, no checking what mons were in a specific area, and no looking up the boss battles as that constitutes "completely blind" to me.)

I'm trying to play it now for the first time. Same level caps as this video/patch but different pokemon on the boss battles/gym leaders D:

@@CharizardLv95 yeah falkner now is fucking nuts, rufflet, emolga, corvisquire. They beefed his ass up.

@@Crow1i It's so disappointing, I specifically looked up this video to see PC get destroyed by Falkner like I was, and then this, pff.

We really needed it, no way we could know otherwise, he's a very helpful guy :)

Oh the irony

Yeah, looking at this from 2023 perspective this looked like a piece of cake compared to how 3.1 felt just on a normal playthrough... I attempted a Nuzlocke of this at 4.0 on Easy because I figured the Boss Battles would take another step up from 3.1. Didn't finish it, got to Gary in Silph Co. and sentimentality got in the way... losing some faves (even though I made an "Afterlyf" box so I didn't need to release mons) rocked me.

For real, his team here was so easy! That rufflet has berry juice and slash, it’s a menace unless you get a super tanky encounter like alolan grimer

@Adnan Abdic cope, hes the king

Pretty much

its actually very enjoyable as a nuzlocke due to sheer variety all you use is a money code once money farming becomes available and game is amazing. he played in the most suboptimal way possible for enjoyment

He didn't do it in hardcore mode thou

@@pontusrydstrom5869 RR's difficultly options hadn't been added when he did this run. He didn't do the hardcore mode because it literally didn't exist.

@@liamconnor9235 LEVEL WHAT Thats too much dude

What is good about Goldeen in RadRed?

@@xsteelfeverx8004 Goldeen has a much better moveset and Seaking can even learn Fishious rend which is a very powerful move

Do you know what version hes playing?

this video is bad because no cut reaction?

He still beating it on twitch?

@@magnocosta2290 he already finished

Justin wait for the next parte then

@@noname-tw4mm Where did I say that lmao I just cut the Twitch Highlights which provide the footage for these videos

Don't forget that some battles you will def have an unfair advantage against as some pokemon will have a move that they learn in their 60s and only be in there 50s. And somehow outspeed you despite the pokemon you're using has a higher base speed. Is plus speed natured and fully ev trained in speed and max iv in speed as well. So yeah

@@cammy649 There is an item called Choice Scarf and a thing known as priority moves. Seems like you're complaining about being outsped in every comment without even reading the changelogs of this hack.

@@TheVarrio me too every pokemon is out speeding me and my team isn't a really good team defensively so my pokemons faint just by one hit I am stuck at blue battle and I don't know what to do

@@cammy649 the reason this happens its because the pokemon the gym leaders and rivals use are EV trained, which makes them much harder, the game still gives you plenty of oportunities to do the same and get a better chance to win, also some pokemon are meant to be slow so you should take advantage of their bulkyness instead

Yeah the "advanced AI" literally just knows your items/moves/what move you select. It's kind of unfair tbh.

@@_piranha esp when AI Pokemon have some bs like Sucker Punch and Protect stall strats

Yeah because you are playing on a more recent version the creator constantly updates it

Same

Do you think he doesn't always do that.knowng enemy teams is a massive part in being able to counterplay the bosses

It’s so he doesn’t overlevel also you try doing it with hardcore nuzlocke rules

Going in blind isn't necessarily more difficult, it's just more trial and error.

@@jeffbezos2960 yeah but surely going into it blind and learning the teams and strategies the first few attempts would be more fun to watch.

@@softelocke491 yeah that is understandable but knowing moves, abilities and held items is too much

with a money code you can buy ev vitamins in celadon and takes 1 min to do each mon

@@eps9571 but... that defeats the purpose

@@itzuki2075 defeats what purpose, money farming becomes available then so instead of spending 10s of hours farming money you use a code. Unless you have plenty of time to waste

@@eps9571 cheating is cheating my man, sure it would make it easier but they are a CHALLENGE for a reason

@@itzuki2075 theres a difference between cheating and just saving time when no skill is involved, but if you like wasting your time you do you

same im stuck there

Yeah that fight kicked my ass.

That fight was easy enough it just took me a few resets (pro tip buy the rare egg from the old man it is a ditto it helped me so so much throughout the play through any Pokemon that sets up you just need luck you can send in ditto and if you outspeed you can just sweep the rest of the opponents team)

this game really isnt hard if you play any VGC formats or play Showdown often. Just that its pretty cool and has lots of nice features

Agree with Brett, especially if you are familiar with new gen changes and additions. Also he have 3000+ hours of nuzlocke experience which matters alot handling lot of tight situations.

Yup - chat is stupid and bad at pokemon what else is new lol

@@brettvandermeer5297 cap I play showeown a lot and still think this game is hard

I am not that good but somehow made it all the way to curlean cave and hot stuck on the admin battles

yeah, the e4 is actually stupid in this game, that npc wasn't wrong "mate, this e4 is on some wack shit"

She is.

He already finished it

It only took like 4 days!

The part of wiping to the E4 alot aged well lol

Just record it yourself

He's playing Pokemon, does it really matter? Not like you're gonna miss out on any fast-paced action lol

@@rtiq270 When non fast paced action of pokemon is stil more enjoyable than your notifications it should tell you something about obnoxious your notifications are. Thanks for proving OP point.

@@pascalsimioli6777 ???

Yep, just played Radical Red Hardcore Mode, and it's really difficult!!

I disagree with your opinion on cheating. Cheating would imply it doing something that you could do within what is normally allowed, and you could easily look up what they use and previous knowledge of the moms would tell you their stats and such. Making decisions on such things is something players are always doing, so why is it suddenly cheating when the AI does it back?

@@MayHugger You're right, I could look up all of the information about a gym leader, and Jan frequently does, but I come from a competitive pokémon background where there's always some mystery behind what your opponent has. Like I mentioned about Erika. She's running a full speed iv, speed nature, max speed EV Rillaboom. Even without having perfect knowledge of what moves and stats I have (they know when you outspeed them and change their behavior on that basis) it would be hard enough to fight her without losses. And again, just having higher average or more specialized mons than you are even capable of getting at a given time is its own form of cheating. I loved Radical Red, but a nuzlocke was not in the cards for me as it was just supremely frustrating. It's very impressive to me that Jan did it first try, but it was too annoying for me to continue my attempts.

@@ZerglingOne1 I will give you that part about having better mons, even though Pokémon has been doing that for years, that is pretty unfair in that type of game.

tbh i disagree here aswell, i beat erika with two pokemon, i had no idea what she had nor did i know her moves, so it was blind, ill admit, it took me 3 attempts but it did work.

@@Thecruelwing I merely gave up the nuzlocke when I reached her and died for the third time. I beat her easily once I removed the restrictions imposed by a nuzlocke. I just caught a darmanitan and blew her team away.

I just lost my 4th one, and was one-shoted by Misty's protean frogadier

@@devildynamite7454 to counter the Frogradie i use Gyarados, it gets intimidated and the Ice Fang can kill in one shot the Frogradier protean grass knot in some rolls.
