How beautifully poetic that when Jacob finally stops taking unnecessary risks, what dooms an otherwise immaculate run was his refusal to take a (safe) risk.

What a journey, he forgot who he was and after suffering a heartbreaking loss, found the light of his true nature once again. It's simply beautiful.

The worst champion in Pokemon? Not really. She's bad but not the worst. Red/Fire Red Lance is a cakewalk if you use the most common types in the game and give them Ice Beam. Gen 2 Lance doesn't fare much better. All of Diantha's mons have really bad IV's mostly in the single digits, without anything that can cause a problem for you; she's easier than the rest of the Elite Four. I'd say she's probably the third worst champion in the game, although she feels a lot easier just because Torch Song exists.

For those who are wondering, the classical music remixes at the end were from Catherine Full Body.

The absolute irony that clicking the funny button (aka Skeledirge torch song) instead of the meticulous planning he went through in the first run, was somehow more successful is so funny. It's undoubtably an Alpharad moment of all time. And watching Floragato set up two Hone Claws just to use a special move that never misses was both hilarious and INCREDIBLY anticlimactic. Both of these moments are art pieces that belong in the Louvre. I LOVE the progression and growth in these Nuzlockes, you can tell how much better Alpha has gotten with them. I am a little sad it's just the gym leaders in this round, I feel like the Team Star boss fights are some of the hardest challenges in this game staying level capped for them. Larry is love, Larry is life. Even though I too was cheering for Comrade Larry, I also knew you'd pull through his masterplan. That aside, I don't know how he writes his scripts so well, but this was amazing. Love the use of the third movement of Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. I actually performed that song on piano for Dennis Rodman and Vladimir Putin and it was so awesome to hear it here! Exquisite taste, Jacob!

WE LOVE OUR KRAFT SINGLE-SLAPPED PEPPER! Fuecoco is a whole vibe...there's no thoughts behind those eyes. Alpharad is the only person who can give you hype, excitement, sadness and a whole existential crisis through a Pokémon game. Using Chopin's Étude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor aka the Revolutionary Étude to express your emotions during your internal struggle of this thrilling run is chef's kiss and so fitting. The piece is about Chopin being upset that a Polish uprising in the 1830s against the Russian Empire failed, meaning he couldn't return to Poland. He cried and said, "All this has caused me much pain. Who could have foreseen it?" So it's a very emotional piece and the perfect way to show said emotions. Music really is a powerful thing. This is exactly what Alpharad does that makes every single nuzlocke special and entertaining. He not only learns from his past, but also makes something that can be so boring, and makes it fun. His realization of what he now became, is just as entertaining as his first nuzlocke. Something that is supposed to bring emotions slowly deprived Alpha from all of his emotions. This is a villain plot, and I love it.

I have a sneaking suspicion he intentionally killed it off for the content, seeing as how he went for Shell Smash instead of the very obvious "click a damaging move". Alpharad's thrown and/or lied for the sake of a narrative before, after all. (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, mind, just an observation)

I love how Jacob somehow puts himself in the most absurd situations on accident just for the content

I always love the choices of music used in these videos constantly. As someone who LOVES JRPGs like octopath and xenoblade, it's super fun to put a name to all the songs I recognize that are artfully used in each video!
