Yo that would be so cool like a friendly rivalry with a neighbor but over time as you beat their team over & over, they become more jaded and start getting stronger than you until they're programmed to beat you at some point in the story, becoming impossible to challenge until going through other stuff. Game Freak, hire me!!

Watching Pokémon Challenges react to this gave me an entirely new appreciation for all the little things Alpha did. Like how he pronounces Jan's name right at the start then intentionally gets it wrong for the rest of the video, how he parodied his ad-reads, his tendency to pause the videos. Alpha really is a fantastic writer

After this, Alpha should make his own custom Nuzlocke ruleset with absolutely stupid, zany, and fun rules and gather all of his Pokemon friends to play it so they can dare Jan to react to it.

I learned about encounter routing through his videos and it’s why I now am no longer scared to hardcore Nuzlocke my favorite games. Currently doing White2 and I’m having fun with Pokémon I haven’t had in a while.

i agree with how jacob feels, because yeah you could play perfectly and take zero risks, but that ruins the content you get from actually forming a bond with your team and the bullshittery that can happen.

Honestly Jan could absolutely win this meme-war, by going full casual in his review. It would be hilarious

It's so fun to see that many content creators are getting better at nuzlocking

5:43 the way he says 'the worst fucking stupid bullshit goddamn puzzle ever conceive by man' lives rent free in my head

This is Alpha entering his villain arc. Notice how he no longer refers to his Pokémon by their nicknames he is now just calling them by their species name. This is the fall of the once great trainer

I love how the sponsor was baked into the video so you couldn’t just skip it, the delivery truly showed his enthusiasm, so much so that he couldn’t bear people not hearing it

I mean alpha has been evil for a long ass time lol.

Sometimes I keep thinking about the time I 1st discovered alpharad and and someone commented about something like how he was slowly evolving to a crazy person. After watching for awhile they ain’t wrong

THE INTRO IM CRYING 😭 but jan's videos are so addicting, i get to pretend i understand what he's talking about when really, it's going one ear out the other

I love how being "cheeky" is his thing. He does what most youtuber want to do but don't wanna get caught doing, but that's the gag. I like you channel since the days of "Not ...", so I really like your comedy, and for me is even funnier now, showing your cleverness to farm internet fame and planning. Keep up the good work

Jacob’s decent into madness just made remember something: Wasn’t one of the points of nuzlockes to forge a connection with your Pokemon? Like you were supposed to name them, get close to them through them surviving harsh battles and then feel despair when they died? I guess I just kind of forgot that because most of the big nuzlockers treat them more as complicated challenge runs, along the same lines as single pokemon, monotype or level 1 runs, and just see the Pokemon as something you use and then either discard or keep around until they die and you replace them. I admittedly don’t do nuzlockes (tried them before and didn’t really find any fun in it) so maybe I’m just talking out of my ass here.

It is initially just a challenge run. Peoplz who make a big deal about emotional stuff are either content creators who want to give more story to their videos/comics, or people influenced by said content creators. Not saying you cant get attached to your mons, but nuzlockes never were about that at their core.

yes. as the original creator puts it, a nuzlocke is "for the thrill of challenge. for the glory of victory. but mostly for the friends you'll make. the friends you didn't choose or want. friends you'll cherish that much more knowing you could lose them at any moment." it's not just for a hardmode, it's for a new way to appreciate pokemon. i'm sure there are at least some people who see certain pokemon in a new light after a certain nuzlocke run.

@@miwestraveler3986 The first person who introduced the Nuzlockle stuff did it emotional. That's why the nicknaming Pokémon to suffer their deaths was always there.

Love how he starts losing his mind the deeper he gets into the run lmao

The pettiest part of bringing Onix was playing the "serpent eating the ground" ost when you enter the elite four

"I had a plan! no friends" killed me with laughter

It is great to see how the Pokemon community evolves around its creators!

Former Pokémon challenges watcher here! Can’t wait to be an ALPHARAD subscriber now!

I love the character development through the nuzlockes. From a hero rising to an ashes, from a supervillain being ended by his own endless power, driven to insanity. Desensitized to death, looks to slaughter everything using pokemon as tools.

I just recently found ur and jan's channels and I absolutely love it keep up the good work alpha

This video was paced amazingly Alpha, and I loved the sponsor segment! The old one was getting really stale to me, so thanks for switching it up

I love the nuzlocke community lore. Especially the hard predict that Jan would pause to comment on your catboy outfit!

Late, but most of the time the “sacrifices” do matter a lot, whether it’s due to momentum or simply too risky, whenever there’s a sacrifice, usually it is necessary in order to either not lost your ace (like a psudo-legendary that could sweet the elite four later on) or to prevent a whiteout by regaining momentum. In the end, sacrificing something like a Ratacate, Onyx and a Sudowodo to save a Bagon can pay off later on even if the other three might be strong at the moment but will get out classed later on. In the end it’s all prioritization and everyone makes mistakes (like not accounting for crits for example) but it depends on how you play off the mistake and continue is what separates beginners and veterans; the best way to learn how to recover from mistakes is simply by going out, playing and not being afraid to make those mistakes in order to learn from them.

Lmao I'm dying this is amazing 😂😂😂 ok now alpharad let's see that emerald kaizo run 👏👏👏
