@@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.
Man, I just played Radical Red for the first time earlier today, and I was looking at a guide saying Faulkner had Emolga, Rufflet, and Corvisquire. In 4.0 he has Rufflet, Wattrel, and Flittle. And now seeing your run, how he had a completely different team here again, it's great to see the evolution this game has gone through.
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.
Just like the guy in Pewter City says “This ROM hack isn’t too hard, you just suck.” For real though I love the challenge of this rom hack. Love that your playing it

love how this was edited. Battles were fun and entertaining still got to see your encounters. I know the grinding is cut and doesn’t show how much effort and patience it takes to do it. But for entertainment purposes this might be my favorite video of yours yet.
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.
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 UA-cam'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.)
Btw your Mareep probably had Static, so it made Pikachu a 50% encounter :) I was grinding my Mareep on a Storm Silver Nuzlocke on a route that had Shinx and I kept running into Shinx and not realizing it until I figured out that's because of static.
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
I never for a second thought you couldn't beat it in a nuzlocke, I thought it wouldn't be very enjoyable as a nuzlocke and you proved that to me here lol
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
@@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.
And they didnt even include PC's reaction to the first time he used Cut in the overworld, even though I painstakingly highlighted it :( What's even the point :(
The thing with this game is that it isn't unnuzlockable its just that the variety in pokemon and teambuilding oppurtunities of this game (which is its main focus) are lost when nuzlocking. It makes the game more fun when you play through it normally with the plethora of items and pokemon it provides so you can strategize against the bosses. Thats my opinion. Anyway keep up the great content Nuzlocke King.
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
18:36 Its not even a prediction lol, I remember save scumming this one to test the AI and the AI would choose what to do based on what move you selected
@@Itzuki18 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
If this game is so easy then play hardcore mode. No setup, certain abilities and stuff not allowed, enemies have legends by like surge or erika and brock has a full sand team, misty full rain team, etc
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.
Wheres the rest of this play through?? I really REALLY want to see you nuzlocke beat giovani silph scope in radical red. One of the toughest pkmn fights ever imo
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)
@@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.
It's been two years since you have last uploaded a run of this on UA-cam. Have you tried the updated version? They've made changes here and there to make it more interesting to say the least.
I feel like this rom hack's difficulty really shines brightest when you do mono type runs. My mono type water run was really challenging in the first half with Surge and Erica and their respective rematches, but I also attempted 4.1 where they added gen 9.
Han i know if you read this your gonna just hate bc im a youtube subscriber and not in your twitch chat but i gotta say. Thank you for bringing your series and content over here as well. I work alot and rarely get a chance to catch anyone stream. I love the in depth play by plays you do. They help me learn and better my own play. Keep up the great work brother.
If you played on hardcore there’s no set up moves. The gym leaders start getting legendaries and Megas starting with surge. You definitely played the easiest mode. You should try it on hardcore.
I beat this game like 2 weeks ago on randomizer.My team at the time of e4 was abomasnow,krookodile,keldeo,articuno,mega metagross and speed boost blaziken(the one may gives you doesn't get randomized into something else along with the treecko brendon gives you).I could've used mega sceptile but I chose to keep my starter instead
I’m excited to see the next video since you stopped RIGHT before the difficulty curve. Giovanni and Sabrina are menaces. Sabrina especially since she’s the first trainer I had to calc for. I know you’re gonna wipe to the Elite Four a LOT but here’s to hoping you don’t. It took me roughly 20 tries fully prepped while EV trained with good IVs so I can only imagine how hard it’s gonna be with rando Pokemon
Pretty epic. Will freely admit you're a **damn** good nuzlocker. Was running my own nuzlocke of this, but gave up the rule set at Erica. I gave up the rules because A. The computer absolutely cheats by knowing all of the exact stats, items, and everything you have and makes its decisions based on those facts. There's good AI, and then there's straight up cheating. IMO, it's not doable truly blind because there's too much shit that straight up ambushes you. B. The difficulty in the game stems mostly from the opponent just having better moves and faster Pokémon than you're typically capable of getting at any given point (there are what...3 gym leaders with some form of Greninja?) . And I feel like that's in bad faith for nuzlocking in general.
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.
It's so much more difficult when you don't even know what some of the moves do and use the same 6-8 pokemon for everything. I could only thank god for sleep, freeze, and static paralyze.
They updated Radical Red its a lot harder now... I was so confused watching this cause the trainers have different pokemon now LUL I GET ANGRY WATCHING THIS IT LOOKS SO EASY COMPARED TO THE VERSION I PLAY
Well it's easy bcs you know what team they have so you can counter them but most of the people go blind and that's why they call it hard. This game is not unbeatable bcs it gives you so many tools to just win.
@@Mr_Kujo yea if you see others play it they play it blind that's why it's hard if you know everything about your enemy and they don't then ofc you will win.
The fact the Budew died instantly to the Panpour after someone in chat suggested that it would be fine is peak Nuzlocke

The thing with this game is that it isn't unnuzlockable its just that the variety in pokemon and teambuilding oppurtunities of this game (which is its main focus) are lost when nuzlocking. It makes the game more fun when you play through it normally with the plethora of items and pokemon it provides so you can strategize against the bosses. Thats my opinion. Anyway keep up the great content Nuzlocke King.
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
Your version is easier than what I got. In falkner's team in my version, he brought emolga instead. And with brock, his vulpix use incinerate instead.
Yeah because you are playing on a more recent version the creator constantly updates it
Same
I believe in the notes I read Ledian went from 35 base attack to 90 AND they gave it Iron Fist. What a crazy buff.
*with a sigh of relief and a shaky voice* "Okay, easy..."
I love how whenever he gets a donation/sub, it covers HALF OF THE SCREEN
Redo this for 4.0
“Ruck Off” made my sides heave.
The sloth clutched with the emotional support
18:36 Its not even a prediction lol, I remember save scumming this one to test the AI and the AI would choose what to do based on what move you selected
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
the v4.0 hc mode is so hard compared to this version, i hope he plays the latest version.
Wow, this rom hack actually made me enjoy pokemon again. It's pretty dope.
What this video fails to show are the literal entire streams worth of EV grinding and theory crafting
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
@@Itzuki18 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
@@Itzuki18 theres a difference between cheating and just saving time when no skill is involved, but if you like wasting your time you do you
If this game is so easy then play hardcore mode. No setup, certain abilities and stuff not allowed, enemies have legends by like surge or erika and brock has a full sand team, misty full rain team, etc
21:14 this reaction earned my sub lmao
With the recent updates to the game radical red hardcore mode is very hard to nuzlocke maybe u should try the hardcore nuzlocke again
"The Sch.. Squirtle" good it wasn't a Schiggi
PC: We could play nice
Me, a Pokémon noob who’s here for reasons I cannot explain and do not understand: why would you do that you’re here to win
Watching this during the run and bun era is so funny, he would absolutely destroy radred today
Tbf rad red has gotten harder too, but run n bun is probably still harder
@@PsydeON yeah but I mean some of the things he struggles with in this video he wouldn't now
He should retry this nuzlocke the newest version of rad red is way harder than this one
So what I picked up from this is never complain a Nuzlocke is too hard. Or else Pokémon Challenges will make us look stupid
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
I like how he's nuzlocking it so much more easily than I played through it normally
Wheres the rest of this play through?? I really REALLY want to see you nuzlocke beat giovani silph scope in radical red. One of the toughest pkmn fights ever imo
same im stuck there
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)
Current Radical Red would be a MUCH longer video...
"This game is so unlockable."
Just wait till you get to the elite four...
yeah, the e4 is actually stupid in this game, that npc wasn't wrong "mate, this e4 is on some wack shit"
What's funny is the nurse joy in the pokemon league would say "now get your ass beat lmao" its so sudden that i almost choked while drinking water.
What if Meganium was a grass fairy type? I now need this in my life.
She is.

Consider making your Twitch notifications less intrusive dude, they're completely covering everything lmao
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 ???
It's been two years since you have last uploaded a run of this on UA-cam. Have you tried the updated version? They've made changes here and there to make it more interesting to say the least.
The "wynaut wynaut" got me, not gonna lie 🤣
Two of some of my fav PokeTubers make a Radical Red vid on the same day, YESSSSSSS
Wow radical red early game used to be so much easier, the change between this and if you playthrough on the newest version now is night and day
I feel like this rom hack's difficulty really shines brightest when you do mono type runs. My mono type water run was really challenging in the first half with Surge and Erica and their respective rematches, but I also attempted 4.1 where they added gen 9.
It's always a good day when jan uploads.
Loved how you edited it to such a short piece, awesome as always
YES the moment I've been waiting for! If anyone can nuzlocke it, its you!
Thumbnail: Jan amazed at how good Rillaboom looks as a RSE/FRLG sprite.
Yeah the people behind this ROM Hack's art are insane
They made radical red so much harder
Nuzlocking this game in 3.02 has been INFINITELY harder 😭
Han i know if you read this your gonna just hate bc im a youtube subscriber and not in your twitch chat but i gotta say. Thank you for bringing your series and content over here as well. I work alot and rarely get a chance to catch anyone stream. I love the in depth play by plays you do. They help me learn and better my own play. Keep up the great work brother.
idk with you guys but it is now a habit of mine to go back to this video every once in a while
I was waiting for this :)
“Going in blind but I’m gonna look before I do!”
Epic not going in blind! Way to do some research!!
great episode except for the part where you said "i'm a nasty nasty boy" for 6 minutes
j
Pchal at the beginning: shit talking incessantly
Pchal by the end: relying on you, explosion strat.
If you played on hardcore there’s no set up moves. The gym leaders start getting legendaries and Megas starting with surge. You definitely played the easiest mode. You should try it on hardcore.
I beat this game like 2 weeks ago on randomizer.My team at the time of e4 was abomasnow,krookodile,keldeo,articuno,mega metagross and speed boost blaziken(the one may gives you doesn't get randomized into something else along with the treecko brendon gives you).I could've used mega sceptile but I chose to keep my starter instead
I’m excited to see the next video since you stopped RIGHT before the difficulty curve.
Giovanni and Sabrina are menaces. Sabrina especially since she’s the first trainer I had to calc for. I know you’re gonna wipe to the Elite Four a LOT but here’s to hoping you don’t. It took me roughly 20 tries fully prepped while EV trained with good IVs so I can only imagine how hard it’s gonna be with rando Pokemon
The part of wiping to the E4 alot aged well lol
What's funny is this isn't even the hardcore mode
I love your attitude and demeanor
They did an amazing job on the sprites for the newer gen pokemon
Great to watch, but this radical red seems different to the one I downloaded today. Falkner had a Emolga 🥴
I’m hypnotized by the pokeball in the lower right hand corner and I find myself watching it more than the actual video
Pretty epic. Will freely admit you're a **damn** good nuzlocker. Was running my own nuzlocke of this, but gave up the rule set at Erica. I gave up the rules because
A. The computer absolutely cheats by knowing all of the exact stats, items, and everything you have and makes its decisions based on those facts. There's good AI, and then there's straight up cheating. IMO, it's not doable truly blind because there's too much shit that straight up ambushes you.
B. The difficulty in the game stems mostly from the opponent just having better moves and faster Pokémon than you're typically capable of getting at any given point (there are what...3 gym leaders with some form of Greninja?) . And I feel like that's in bad faith for nuzlocking in general.
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 think that was just gale wings @ 13:30, pretty sure they give it to the full line in this game
I see you're trying out the Wolfey Glick method of making a thumbnail
It's so much more difficult when you don't even know what some of the moves do and use the same 6-8 pokemon for everything. I could only thank god for sleep, freeze, and static paralyze.
Really like your real looking Slakoth at the end, but I hope it evolves soon since his truant ability kept him from doing anything
thanks for naming the Volbeat after me, appreciate you pimp lol
I thought you tried it in hard mode. Thats where it is really difficult
Week One of Challenging Pokemon Challenges into a Insane Difficulty Pokemon Unbound Nuzlocke
After all my white outs, this'll be interesting to watch.
This seems like a super cool rom hack. I knew things like this existed, but assumed the quality would be shit. Will definitely check this out!
They updated Radical Red its a lot harder now... I was so confused watching this cause the trainers have different pokemon now LUL I GET ANGRY WATCHING THIS IT LOOKS SO EASY COMPARED TO THE VERSION I PLAY
Yep, just played Radical Red Hardcore Mode, and it's really difficult!!
“Bulbasaur is inconsistent and untested”..
Yeah, that’s bulbasaur 😂
Well it's easy bcs you know what team they have so you can counter them but most of the people go blind and that's why they call it hard. This game is not unbeatable bcs it gives you so many tools to just win.
Exactly what I thought. The hack is mainly difficult because of its unpredictability.
@@Mr_Kujo yea if you see others play it they play it blind that's why it's hard if you know everything about your enemy and they don't then ofc you will win.
@@Cool_Name_12 Jan only try harded this badly because everyone called this game unnuzlockeable.
@@luapmail8863 yea i know.
7:16 If my boss cared about me 1/10th this much, I'd jump ship and work for an evil organization too. I wouldn't even need dental insurance
Come back and try this on v 4.1
5:36 I always wondered why the Rock Tomb animation puts a big red X on your pokemon in gen 3
"This is so easy"

26:46 The way he butchers the pronunciation of "Triage" is hilarious to me. Lol
Can’t be too hard when u prepare for every fight, this game blind is so hard and that’s the challenge....
Cant say blind anymore on Twitch
This game "visually impaired" is so hard and that's the challenge
