Not enough people give credit for how good Alpha is at telling his story. Like I just finished the video and realized that my heart is racing because of that intense ending, his content is so good at getting you invested in the journey. Happy Birthday Alpha!
If I was as hype for any single run while I'm playing? Really gotta put some perspective on what I'm up to rather than just grinding for grinding's sake :D
The editing on this video is so good! Using the zooms on the Pokémon to hide cuts that reduce visual dead time, while still keeping the audio flowing and avoiding the look of hard cuts. Turned out great!
That's because the vanilla games were made so stale for years that those looking for fun had to take things into their own hands. Seems to be a pattern these days...
It'd probably be somewhat similar to pvp rankings, except that defensive mons will typically be rated higher then average as defensive mons are easier to use without needing to sack anything (a good defensive core means you mostly just worry about set-up sweepers). Set up mons can also be pretty great at winning 1v6, though they do have to worry about random focus sashes (if you did not set up stealth rocks) or choice scarfs (if you rely on naturally high speed rather than dragon dance/quiver dance). Most OU mons will do fine though.
@Dragonoid269 Well you're not entirely off, but you'd be surprised by what Pokémon rank high and which ones end up not doing great. One of the biggest surprises for me was Raticate actually being pretty solid and Registeel being objectively broken
Happy Birthday, also I really liked the editing of the in game text of what is happening while focusing on your face cam reactions. It's a really nice touch. I mean you edit back and forth a lot of the UI elements, not just over your face cam, but it was the most noticeable there.
So hype. I remember being in the chat for this stream and it's awesome to see it again. The stumbles just added to the story. Amazing editing with the zooms and textboxes. Also great job with that one thing that needed to be changed.
I was at the edge of my seat during the final battle! Also I really liked the editing in the video, the parts where the text box slid in the zoomed in screen was pretty cool!
This is an insanely fun video to watch. The editing mixed with the commentary showing how much game knowledge you've gained since becoming a part time poketuber makes this video sooo fun to follow along.
Thanks to your first video about this game, I started playing emerald Rougelike and it has been one of the most fun experiences this year, thank you Alpharad and I also wish you a Happy Birthday :D
I like the new editing style of putting the move in as another window while the animation plays so you can save time there. I don't know if it actually enhances the experience or it makes it too fast to comprehend, but it's a neat choice at least.
happy birthday Alpharad! also you recognized the salamence sac was a throw, honestly +4 wring out from serp probably would've killed the alolan muk considering it's like 120 bp, but it could've been assault vested tbh Good video as always
I love watching your videos so much because it’s like a multilayered hit of nostalgia, between the xenoblade music and remembering your old videos, it’s just amazing. So, happy (5 day late) birthday!
The nanosecond I saw Jolteon I knew what was gonna happen. Hidden Power IS very difficult to play around but some pokemon are a lot more likely to carry it than others.
Your channel is helping me through an incredibly tough time right now (my grandmother just died from cancer) thanks for always being there for everyone, supplying them with incredible content. ❤
The music choices were especially good in this one. Also the visuals that displayed important/additional information about the fight is a nice touch; even though idk much about Pokémon’s battle system lol
Awesome content, cool video, beautiful editing and happy birthday! What's the name of the song that starts at 23:32? Tried to shazaam it, didn't work, you talk too much.
I love that one of the song used is from Radiata stories ❤. Well done Alpharad editor or himself. That was my favourite game of all time Prof Oak and Blue is a chump change if Alpharad didn't fumble or bave have bad luck tbh. He's so close to win
Happy birthday alpharad :) Your pokemon romhack videos, along with a few other of your creator friends got me to start an inclement emerald run, and damn it looks so much easier than it is.
You have inspired me so much throughout the years, alpha! You even inspired me to make my own super world! So with all of my time watching, i must say this: happy birthday!
So much banger Xenoblade music in this video holy crap I know you usually use Xenoblade music but I feel like there has been a lot more in this video and all the songs you choosen from the game are absolute bangers Also happy birthday Alpharad!!!
"Somehow, they turned Pokemon into a roguelike." Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, a Pokemon skin of the Mystery Dungeon franchise, one of the longest-running roguelike franchises: "Am I a joke to you?"
Your outro music rivals the best of the best I’m talkin “this video is over now” from Danny Gonzales and “Mr Beast 3000” it’s just damn near perfect!!!! 😂❤
Remember how Pokémon did roguelike before this became a thing? Before even gen 3 itself, matter of fact? There was this one feature, in Pokémon Stadium 2, that had these roguelike elements and there were people who took it to the next level by attempting it while blindfolded (to UA-cam's amusement). It even had four separate sub-modes, organized by ball level. It's the Challenge Cup!
also it's my birthday :D
Happy birthday Jacob
Happy birthday Mr funnyman
happy birthday jake
Happy birthday
happy birthday :D
editing the text boxes over the zoomed in screen was so clean, made it more visually interesting than just keeping the full screen at all times
The first toxapex edit made me look for a comment like this, it was just so crisp, hats off to the editors there
This🎉
Celebi getting poisoned was pretty cool
that zapdos interaction was the definition of “never punished”
RNG giveth and RNG taketh away

Good narration, epic music and honestly a great 2v6 battle where Alpha brought Oak down to 2
If I was as hype for any single run while I'm playing? Really gotta put some perspective on what I'm up to rather than just grinding for grinding's sake :D
You know, getting as far as he did against the final boss with only 2 Pokemon is pretty impressive.
Both not very good against Poison, too.
And one of them was Venomoth lol
@@hedgehogpower194wrong fight
@@awesomecrazyboy i mean, florges probably takes less damage from a sludge bomb than from a psyshock, have you seen that spdef stat
@@michaualtington Am I getting this wrong? Isn't Psyshock also Sp.atk/def?
The fact he traded away a Rock type right before a Flying gym is hilarious, let alone for a Fighting type
Couldn't have known either way
Happy Birthday :D
Its random what type of gym it from a pool of possibilities.
Happy Birthday 🎉😂🎉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB
Seeing new Pokémon in this pixelated style brings me so much joy.
same, i love the pixel art. ngl i kinda wish they were in an official game
Hi
It's so charming
Go away
Me too, and i loved primarina voice. It's so cute
May I take a moment to say: The editing on this video is fire. It both provides information while also creating dynamic shots. Well done!
+ the bcs reference at the start
👌👌
The editing on this video is so good! Using the zooms on the Pokémon to hide cuts that reduce visual dead time, while still keeping the audio flowing and avoiding the look of hard cuts. Turned out great!
The "Fly is gone" joke had me choked on instant noodles 😂
the absolutely perfect irony of Alpha losing because of quick claw
Nah it would have been more ironic if he lost because of quick claw onix
@@lucykitsune4619obviously
mewtwo the onix lives on in spirit
Alpha has single handedly reinvigorated my love for Pokémon
i'm not even that big a fan of pokémon and he makes it look hype every single time, kinda wanna get into it again
Yeah, except these are more interesting than what Pokemon usually throws our way lol. But the Pokemon sprites are so good.
Me waiting for the insurgence run
That's because the vanilla games were made so stale for years that those looking for fun had to take things into their own hands. Seems to be a pattern these days...
BRO JUST TO AN INSURGENCE RUN
As someone whos been working on an Emerald Rogue tierlist for singles, it was a wondeful surprise to see this in my sub box
Where's the tier list? 🤔
@@treetree7842 He's still working on it

That got me good 😂

@@chiragmiddha529 fr
This hit so hard.
@@JOLovegrove fr dude. i was just listening to this video in the background and when i heard this quote i stopped everything i was doing
the bcs brainrot has set in
I forgot how good a story teller you are. I need the notifications to tell me when your videos are coming out
So hype. I remember being in the chat for this stream and it's awesome to see it again. The stumbles just added to the story.
Amazing editing with the zooms and textboxes. Also great job with that one thing that needed to be changed.
Jan would be semi-proud.
Edit: Scratch that. He would be a quarter proud.
Also Happy Birthday Jacob!
Happy Birthday, Jacob!
Who let Whitney cook up the most terrifying Spinda of all time? 💀
I mean, Whitney’s Miltank is known to punch above its supposed strength. Of course she would use a Spinda to the fullest.
I love just the drop of a bcs spoiler and then it kept moving like it was nothing
I was at the edge of my seat during the final battle! Also I really liked the editing in the video, the parts where the text box slid in the zoomed in screen was pretty cool!
This is an insanely fun video to watch. The editing mixed with the commentary showing how much game knowledge you've gained since becoming a part time poketuber makes this video sooo fun to follow along.
The editing in this with the pop ups showing your and your opponents moves is top tier 👏
Thanks to your first video about this game, I started playing emerald Rougelike and it has been one of the most fun experiences this year, thank you Alpharad and I also wish you a Happy Birthday :D
watching alpharad always makes me think, damn, xenoblade has such good music
"through a bit of chicanery, Chuck is now dead"
Goddamn that was cold lmao
Jacob's luck in this run was insane! Like, this is the first time I've ever seen a Venomoth kill a FREAKING ZAPDOS!
I like the new editing style of putting the move in as another window while the animation plays so you can save time there. I don't know if it actually enhances the experience or it makes it too fast to comprehend, but it's a neat choice at least.
I love watching Alpharad videos when I'm home instead of at school
happy birthday Alpharad! also you recognized the salamence sac was a throw, honestly +4 wring out from serp probably would've killed the alolan muk considering it's like 120 bp, but it could've been assault vested tbh
Good video as always
I’m dying to play this
One of my favorite RPS combined my favorite game genre sounds heavenly
Then play this, I mean what are you wainting?
It's available to play and you can play it on your phone even
@@plastered_crab Wait really? How?
Can this be played on an iPhone?
@@iantaakalla8180 just check if have a gba emulator on your phone store
I love watching your videos so much because it’s like a multilayered hit of nostalgia, between the xenoblade music and remembering your old videos, it’s just amazing. So, happy (5 day late) birthday!
Jacob: Protect against Urshifu
Terminal Montage Clip: YOU FOOL YOU FOOL
Just wanted to comment on how insanely high quality the editing on this is
Happy birthday! Thanks for making our days and sharing your personality with us. It's been amazing to be a viewer
Lmao at Jacob saying “months ago” in the intro and “yesterday” in all the vod clips
Ooh the radiata music at 3:42. It lives baby
"Through a bit of chicanery, Chuck is now dead" hurt me.
The nanosecond I saw Jolteon I knew what was gonna happen. Hidden Power IS very difficult to play around but some pokemon are a lot more likely to carry it than others.
Your channel is helping me through an incredibly tough time right now (my grandmother just died from cancer) thanks for always being there for everyone, supplying them with incredible content. ❤
It gets better. Sending some love your way.
I wanna see this turned competitive. Alpha could totally do it
The music choices were especially good in this one. Also the visuals that displayed important/additional information about the fight is a nice touch; even though idk much about Pokémon’s battle system lol
“And this is where he hits it!”
Kingler: Like that’s ever gonna happen
Wish alpharad included a music list coz god damn I need some of these in my playlist
idk the exact name of the songs but they are from the series “xenoblade”
I’m so heart broken over this run! But at least I saw my favorite pokemon!
Primarina made it in the end!!!! Haha! Yay
“Through a bit of chicanery, Chuck is now dead”
ALPHA BCS REFERNCE????
Alpha had (has?) a podcast with Coney called How Did We Get Here, and in it he talks about how much he loves Better Call Saul
I love the return to form back to high quality content. Thank you for break from me the advertised content
Happy birthday! You’re an amazing UA-camr and human.
I’d absolutely watch more episodes of this
Awesome content, cool video, beautiful editing and happy birthday! What's the name of the song that starts at 23:32? Tried to shazaam it, didn't work, you talk too much.
It's the Palkia & Dialga Origin Form battle music from Legends: Arceus.
5:48 is it supposed to look like that?
"When he's backed into a corner, that's when S hits it"
Opponent: uses protect
"Motherf....."
I love that one of the song used is from Radiata stories ❤. Well done Alpharad editor or himself. That was my favourite game of all time
Prof Oak and Blue is a chump change if Alpharad didn't fumble or bave have bad luck tbh. He's so close to win
The editing gets better with each of these videos
Upon rewatch Jacob talking about blood and flaws while Garchomp is on screen makes it sound like past drama
7:17 hyping up that guillotine just for it to get reflected was the funniest thing ever lmao XD
Happy birthday! I laughed so hard when Cofagrigus swapped in for the Selfdestruct. Iconic. The real Nuzlocke King came to play today.
Whenever edited this… GREAT JOB!!!
Happy birthday alpharad :) Your pokemon romhack videos, along with a few other of your creator friends got me to start an inclement emerald run, and damn it looks so much easier than it is.
Happy Birthday!!!
Also editing error at 5:48 but happy birthday!!!
That Venomoth sweep at the end was just like the ATV fight in twitch plays.
I liked the editing in this one. The ui moving felt natural and helped show off the action more
4:59 “but i calced around it ( I am lying)” had me laughing
You have inspired me so much throughout the years, alpha! You even inspired me to make my own super world! So with all of my time watching, i must say this: happy birthday!
15:18 Urshifu: YOU FOOLYOU FOOL!!!!
I’m so glad me and Alpha have the same birthday, i get to enjoy today twice as much
Happy birthday alpha!!! Thanks for the amazing content over the past 5 years. Always happy to see a notif
Happy birthday! You have been my favorite streamer since the Sm4sh days!
Happy birthday, Alpharad!!! Thanks for getting me back into my love for Pokémon :)
*couldnt say it on Insta
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB
been a fan for a long time, hope this next year is another of fun streams and crazy challenges
I was really expecting this big “I did the impossible” kind of plot twist. That ending was great
Happy birthday funny internet man! Thanks for all youve done so far and heres to many more birthdays to come!
Sometimes, it's the little things in life. Hearing Alpharad using music from Radiata Stories is one of those simple things that makes me so happy
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN! Thanks for giving us more amazing content as always, and I hope you're having a great day!
the editing in this video is PHENOMENAL
Editing and commentary on point :D
Alpha having maxed out the reply feature in UA-cam is crazy, so happy birthday Jacob!
15:18
Terminal montage:”YOU FOOL, YOU FOOL!”
Never going to forget his typing now with the ‘FLY is GON’ joke, that was brilliant
So much banger Xenoblade music in this video holy crap I know you usually use Xenoblade music but I feel like there has been a lot more in this video and all the songs you choosen from the game are absolute bangers
Also happy birthday Alpharad!!!
I just want to say this video is really well done, honestly phenomenal editing
that Radiata Stories track at 3:40 was like a nostalgia jumpscare for me
Dude that final music was so fucking fire, does anyone know where it's from?
Also happy belated birthday Alpha
"Somehow, they turned Pokemon into a roguelike."

Happy birthday alpharad! I've been watching you ever since and you still bring bangers there and then and it is a well deserved birthday!
Happy Birthday Jacob, looking forward to whatever you make the next year!
Alpharad, win or loose, your videos and sense of humor never fail to make me smile. Also Happy Birthday!
Really cool to see how much Alpharad has improved at Pokemon since the Pokemon Challenges saga
Amazing editing its so good i love it! and happy birthday Jacob!
Yesterday I was thinking "I hope Alpharad plays that pokemon rougelike again". Clearly I'm psychic type
3:47 Spoken like a King
Your outro music rivals the best of the best I’m talkin “this video is over now” from Danny Gonzales and “Mr Beast 3000” it’s just damn near perfect!!!! 😂❤
Happy late birthday and that it’s cool that you’re doing another run of this because it is a cool mod
Shoutouts Cybertron the Rotom-Wash, your sacrifices were in vein...

This is a very entertaining series given how variable everything is compared a normal nuzlocke. I would love to see more
This has gotta be one of the most entertaining pokemon videos I've ever seen lmaooo
Happy Birthday Alpha!! I hope you have another awesome spin around the sun~ Also this was one exciting vid, it went hard!!
