I think people don't use Medicham because they think it's ugly? Medicham is actually one of my favorite Pokemon since it's not only useful in battle, but the concept behind it is really cool. It's basically a super-strong yogi and I think that's utterly badass.

I knew the switching mechanic was a bit broken in double battles, but never realized it could also be exploited in single battles

Just wanted to acknowledge the quality of your content friend, we really appreciate it and I’m glad I found your channel.

Say facade the way you do one more time, I dare you. 🤣 The style of this video was brillant! I loved it!

Amazing run. Medicham used to be so good in gen 3, I remember loving the one I had in Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. Also, I have come up with a really cool idea for a hardcore nuzlocke you may enjoy that may be easiest in Soulsilver, but can be done in any game/generation: Single-stage pokemon only. In Soulsilver, you can get Dunsparce and Unown before gym one and get a total of 12 encounters! (From what I've seen of other gens you have to do at least one important battle before getting a single-stage pokemon, but by using universal pokemon randomizer you could swap starter for first encounter easily)

Been waiting for this one since I saw the Twitter post about slaking and passive damage Glad I was able to explain it to you - it's a fun niche interaction that comes up occasionally in competitive adv battles with the permanent sandstorm all around

The challenge rules are… oddly specific this time. Love your videos! Always look forward to uploads :)

Thanks for the advice on Slaking. Love how game mechanics change in different gens

Flygon, this video is amazing! This has been one of your best works so far! How you integrate the Fight Club refs, how educational you are with the Peck x Double Kick analysis and Gen3 switch mechanics. This video has been high level content, entertainment and knowledge. Well done!

The Fight Club references are 100!!! Well done my good sir!

That bit at the end criticizing people’s perception of Fight Club was *chef’s kiss*

Salamence killing Angel Face: "I felt like destroying something beautiful."

Well, that part with Norman's final Slaking was pretty neat. I actually never knew you could do that until now.

I like how the narrative of the nuzlocke weaved itself into a type of fight club narrative, most boticeably with Steven, but even with throwaway lines like "his name was Robert Paulson." That was cool! And I really liked the ending. I really disliked the Glacia music though. I'm probably in the minority, but it just didn't fit the moment for me. I like that you keep exploring what Nuzlockes are supposed to be, melding them with your pre-existing interest in film. RuPaul would be proud that you're using what you've got, and not letting your inner saboteur get the best of yourself. Then again, Ru doesn't watch Nuzlockes

He wanted to have Bulk Up earlier. Assuming 28 is when he learns it his Combusken wouldn't have it until Flannery, meaning he'd have to hit the cap for Flannery before he fights Archie. He basically needed his Combusken to have Bulk Up for the Archie fight too.

I only recently found your channel never having watched nuzlocke gameplay before. Just wanted to say thank you, I went right back in your videos and have watched from old to new. So far your videos have given me countless hours of joy and entertainment. I hope you keep up the work into the future. Thanks heaps 🙏

I only found you a week or two ago, but I've been binging your content since. Your dedication to your videos is insane, and the quality that you consistently put out is great too. You always sound so invested in your runs, even though it's your 100th time playing through the game. I appreciate your nicknaming themes, and the fact that you exclusively call the pokemon BY their nicknames in the video. It makes them feel unique and important! And WOW, there are FEW youtubers who would actually reset a late-game wipe like this. The time investment, dedication, and skill really makes all your content enjoyable!

This is my first time actually reading the rules in so long I'm so glad I did lmaooo

It took me a while because I've been busy but I loved this video. Really sad Marla went down but great to see Medicham shine. Also really loved the Fight Club references!

I’m not misinterpreting the movie. Tyler is just a cool guy who’s good at fighting. Just like my other favorite character and role model, Rorschach from Watchmen

Ok, definitely my new favorite nuzlocke video! I am Jack's sense of admiration!

I missed the naming theme until the end of the run, when that monologue about the true themes of Fight Club made me literally cover my mouth in delighted shock (And THEN I remembered where the name Marla Singer was from; and now Angel Face, my god, was I paying any attention?!) Love your runs, this was as delightful as the rest ♡

Another rule I thought of for these runs is the "competitive rule" where both teams in a major battle have to use the same number of Pokémon. Meaning you can only go into a battle with Brawley for example with 2 Pokémon, and you won't be able to use all 6 in a major battle until the Elite 4.

29:05 "Marla hasn't been crit like that since grade school." Had me choking on my water.

I was able to pause the video and take a screenshot of the little frame splice of Tyler at 30:35. Hell of a lot of work to this video! Love it!

It took me till the end of the first Brawly fight to notice the Fight Club motif, but took me until the KO if Heracross to notice the team swap.

Easily the greatest twist in the history of Nuzlockes. Bar none.

Find club is a great movie. And even though the references were everywhere, the "his name was Robert paulson" totally got me. Loved it
