Hey PChal! Can you please stop (or tell your editor to stop) using Hollow Knight music in your videos? You're stealing it from Team Cherry, a niche indie game dev team who really don't deserve to be robbed like this. I know HK music is awesome, but if you really don't want to pay anyone for using their awesome music, there's still plenty of royalty free music out there. There's really no need to screw over a couple honestly working dudes by stealing their work. You never even credit them. It's really distasteful and uncalled for. Please stop.
i don't think anyone cares about you using it but still should credit the og tracks. there are a couple hades tracks in this video too. edit: also risk of rain 2 music. alotta rougelite music.
@@Why-Do-You-Care. Right!? I was wondering why it only has 10 likes, then realised that it's a super-recent comment compared to when the video was published. Honestly, the comment is effort befitting the effort that went into the 151 runs of Emerald Kaizo ❤
Honestly, what I love about these hacks is that it actually makes you feel like you're fighting against trainers who have built their team to be the best, and are completing their own journey.
Agreed. For some reason, my favorites are the Admin for Aqua and Magma. It makes them seem like legitimate threats as opposed to team leader knock offs.
@@xephyre6955 they are hard because they cheat. sure its a challenge, but in all honesty, i dont feel like its that rewarding to face those. now i think the game has some amazing ideas for challenge, like gyms having static weather effects, or boosting their pokemon, but im against having pokemon learn moves they shouldnt be able to. that's where i think its crossing the line, that and them having access to unique pokemons that should exist "in bulk".
I love how in an emerald Kaizo nuzlocke even the random mob trainers that are on every route are memorable and feel like mini bosses. This guys out here naming trainers as if we're gonna have any idea who: "Bird Keeper Billy" was or remember him, but because of his nuzlock rules, every single one of these side characters need to be respected and dealt with properly!
This is such an interesting way to present this. Not as chronological attempts but taking us through a journey and showing the intensity of the game itself. Good stuff!
I joined this series just after attempt 77 and remembered hearing all the stories about it. 95% of my Twitch experience was watching the early game resets, so it’s amazing to see just how much Jan went through before this and how far he got WITHOUT LOOKING UP TEAMS. Insane, so hyped to rewatch 151

Apparently he actually reset run 69 just to piss chat off because they were spamming “funny number” could be wrong but sheeesh you compiled a lot here, props :)
The way this video is structured, the insight given at every turn, the plot twists, the incredible final stretch with the HK soundtrack that honestly sounds like a villain origin story in the making... This is perfection, a didactic yet super entertaining video, I love it!
Or change the drawback to a significantly less problematic drawback, like Overheat becoming a Recoil move instead of a dramatic essentially one-time use Stat-Dropping move
That death compilation was so well made. You can see all the hours that went into scripting and planning this video out. Huge congrats on getting the video together, it came out fantastic. Can't wait for the 151 video. I hope these videos blow through the roof, exceptional work!
LOVE the several Kingdom Hearts soundtrack appearances in this one. The amount of commitment after so many failed runs to finally finish this game is insane. Kudos Jan!
Around 34:30, changing the blind rule, and earlier in the game to increase the level cap by a few levels to increase the viable Pokemons pool. It's really great. It doesn't diminish the accomplishment. It was great to try without changing the rules first to learn if it's doable in a reasonable way or not. I really liked that.
Wonderfully crafted. Huge props to the editors, and Jan for the script. Seeing the journey on Twitch, pchalDaily, and now this is just...wonderful. Loving Vintage White, and I hope to see more content. Thank you to all who gave their support to this vod.
Damn, this really puts things into perspective. Being only a UA-cam viewer we didn’t see the entire struggle. So much sweat and effort put into this game.
Its been 50 years.... Dude, this was such a carzy trip to watch day to day on pchal daily, this was amazing to watch. Through nearly 3 years and 151 attemtps, this was a rush. Hype for platinum kaizo!
The interesting format going from game progression to chronological attempts for this video really shows how much work went into the video, really looking forward to the winning attempt video despite seeing a lot of it on the daily channel and the finale live. Really love how much was put into this video to mirror how much effort was put into nuzlocking this game
21:20 Wow. Grass, Fire, and Poison is actually amazing coverage in gen 3 - there are no Pokemon that resist all 3 before generation 4 (unless you count Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Typhlosion)
@@BulbasaurRepresent thanks :) damn so there still isn’t all that much. And considering how Fire/Grass/Poison on their own are still fairly useful types that combo is still pretty good.
Watching this really made me think that Wolfy’s run on his 9th attempt was insane. He dodged so many crits to get as far as he did, meanwhile this guys out here getting crit 8 times in a row and still grinding runs the rest of the day. Absolute mad lad.
I really appricate the minute detail of saying "probably the best nuzlocker in the world." I've been getting very tired of seeing youtube titles like "best _____ in the world?" or "World Record?" There are not many people who do what Jan does for a living, so the chances of someone being better are slim. However he still tries to be as honest and accurate as he can in a world full of attention grabbers.
@@andrewworks2551 yeah you can see his elite four attempt that he completes on his other youtube page pk chal daily - i assume he'll make a video about the entire 151 run on this page but just the elite 4 and twitch recaps are on his other page
This was really well edited. I wasn't expecting to be that interested in it because a lot of your old edits get boring after the start. The idea of showing losses through the game and going over how many attempts you lost at each thing was really good.
This is an incredibly good format for this. LOOOOVE the listing of losses by trainer and progression rather than just showing each loss. Feels like a cohesive story!
I have to say that the timing for this video was actually great. It’s been just long enough that it’s nostalgic watching all of this play out, reminding me of how much I anticipated the PChal Daily videos every morning, and how wild this ride was.
What really amazes me is that the names were still creative in so many of the attempts. Attempt 50 with Muxico City the Grimer, Hopenhagen the Hoppip and Torkyo the Combusken gave me a good chuckle.
Great video dude. Seriously, your ability to condense over 1000 hours of gameplay, and structure it in a cohesive and and incredibly informative manner is nothing short of amazing. Not to mention, you got me super hype during your ending, can’t wait for the next part!
Good for him for finally putting out this video, I'm sure it was a lot of work and after playing this game for so many months I guess the expertation he had himself was kinda high. Also: I really like that you stopped the censoring, atleast in this video. Makes it much more enjoyable tbh
i really like the chill voice/style used here for your narration it’s very immersive. like the opposite of what one might expect would be attention grabbing but it got me invested
Damn what the hell this video was hype. Had a great time tuning into these attempts after not watching any twitch streamers for over 6 years. Kudos to you Jan. Also this was really well edited and fun :) Great job to you and your editor for getting this together!
Great video! I really love the fight-by-fight progression based format that you went with! On top of that, the music choice in this video is amazing! you’ve really stepped up your quality recently, and I’m excited to see where you go with it! Also, really hyped for part 2.
This is my favorite vid you have ever posted, learned more about nuzlocking than i thought i would. Was presented beautifully aswell, really felt like i was watching a story unfold. Not to mention the countless hours of effort put into this. Really think this is your best vid yet and should be wayyy more popular.
take a shot every time Jan says he lost an attempt due to being "inattentive" / "not paying attention" and you'll be dying of alcohol poisoning after 20 minutes
Commenting to boost the algorithm for this video, honestly this was so well done, like an absolute perfect way to put all these attempts together in a manageable way to watch. loved this
I feel like the only people who would do something like this are youtubers and streamers. Basically anyone with an audience, i don't think any person alone would subject themselves to torment like this. Kudos to you!
I’ve watched the vods of attempt 151 so many times. And I will probably do a rewatch before the dedicated episode comes out. It’s some of the hypest shit I’ve seen
Feels like I’m watching a summoning salt video. I’m only about halfway through but I gotta give respect to the effort it took to edit this together as well as the dedication to beat this ridiculous run.
in his recent react, Jan says he wishes he was as good at writing scripts as Alpharad. he's actually great at writing scripts, just doesn't have the expressive voice that Alpha has. still love the scripting here
No “probably” about it. Only the best Pokémon Nuzlocker in the world could have pushed past all these teeth-grindingly frustrating battles and losses to find the one way through.
@@dylanfuller8146 bro there's a difference between 'nuzlocke' and 'hard-core nuzlocke'. The level of patience it takes is actually insane, never mind the genius high IQ plays
many people have hardcore nuzlocked it and beat it before, you just think jan’s the best because he made a full length video on it. sorry but the dude is far from being the best nuzlocker, but he’s definitely one of the most prominent in the community
Add transistor to that. I have no idea what the song at the end is though. I thought it started with hollow knight but I'm not sure what it was at the end
I followed since attempt 53. It was such an awesome journey, some of the most fun, stressful, exiting, depressing and positive experiences I have had watching a twitch stream. This got me into nuzlocking, and I hope that if platinum Kaizo were to ever come out, I could be a part of that community as the strategies are being formed. Thanks Pchal for being such a positive influence of me, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into these runs, I’m super grateful.
I remember waiting for my daily video of EK, this series was something I looked foward to. I knew PC for his reaction of Jaiden's video, but I found his content really enjoyable. So, everyday waiting for EK made me REALLY care for some attemps. I was a beliver of Attempt 77 and Good God how brutal that was.
Now after 50 years of overcoming the world's hardest Pokemon ROM hack it's time to move on to even bigger and better things... The Pokemon Smash or Pass tier list!
@26:40 a lot has been learned about Emerald Kaizo since Yan completed his run. We now know that Sunflora is far from useless after Watson. In fact, a Sunflora with above average HP + Spdef combination is much preferred over Ludicolo on the elite 4. Where Ludicolo is almost always risky on Glacia, a good Sunflora brings the fight down to risking a single crit. The break point is if Sunflora can survive Lapras ice beam on Glacia and it is the 1 crit you have to dodge
Amazing video, we can feel how much work you put into it,especially regarding the script! Choosing what parts you would explain must have been torture since so much has happened during these runs,can't wait to see the video about the final attempt !
as someone who only found you within the past few months, this was an excellent showing of what made this so infamous among your community. Tons of fun to watch. Can't wait to see how you won.
Showing the fails based on the progression of the game itself was such a good idea. Even though I watched it when it happened, I’m so excited for the video on attempt 151
This video was easily worth the wait, the finale one will be amazing. This makes me want to attempt harder nuzlockes (probably not this one for a while).
Please, I need to find the music you used, this is all amazing!!! The way you told the story was actually super cool, along with explaining your strategy (and even the sneaky sponsor was nicely done.) The music made it all so much better than it already is! I like seeing your strategies when told in this format. It makes it really fun to listen to!
The Dynamic Duo of this video where we see the sheer pain that was 151 runs of this Legendary Rom Hack and the absolute elation that was the video on the final attempt where all the pieces fell into place just right make an amazing 2 and a half hour experience that I keep coming back to.

Damn, underrated comment.
@@Why-Do-You-Care. Right!? I was wondering why it only has 10 likes, then realised that it's a super-recent comment compared to when the video was published. Honestly, the comment is effort befitting the effort that went into the 151 runs of Emerald Kaizo ❤
Not all heroes wear capes
ffffff
@@FreedomIII Probably because it took him that long to write the comment 😂😂
I really like the narration and explanation of the losses by progression through the game, as opposed to just showing the loss.
Him explaining the risk of certain decisions is what got me hooked, its like gambling with extra steps
I'm also a huge fan of this format.
I don't think it's too corny or whatever to say, but Jan's content is what taught me how to Nuzlocke properly (win more of them)
@@YurrickLamhfhada same, but I still lose
This video was insane let’s get this to #2 most popular (1 will be the run 151 vid)
Honestly, showing the journey this way makes it so much more coherent than being like “this is how attempt 1 went, this is how attempt 2 went, etc”.
Vredded
Honestly, what I love about these hacks is that it actually makes you feel like you're fighting against trainers who have built their team to be the best, and are completing their own journey.
If all the npcs were main characters 😂
sure... until you see them using moves the pokemon cant learn, or get pokemon that should only exist 1 of.
Agreed. For some reason, my favorites are the Admin for Aqua and Magma. It makes them seem like legitimate threats as opposed to team leader knock offs.
@@marcosdheleno I mean that doesn't disprove his point. You are still fighting trainers who are really really hard to beat.
@@xephyre6955 they are hard because they cheat. sure its a challenge, but in all honesty, i dont feel like its that rewarding to face those.
now i think the game has some amazing ideas for challenge, like gyms having static weather effects, or boosting their pokemon,
but im against having pokemon learn moves they shouldnt be able to. that's where i think its crossing the line, that and them having access to unique pokemons that should exist "in bulk".
I love how in an emerald Kaizo nuzlocke even the random mob trainers that are on every route are memorable and feel like mini bosses. This guys out here naming trainers as if we're gonna have any idea who: "Bird Keeper Billy" was or remember him, but because of his nuzlock rules, every single one of these side characters need to be respected and dealt with properly!
I couldn't imagine trying to do a challenge run for this long and have this much dedication. Here's hoping Platinum Kaizo isn't utterly impossible.
Speaking of long/challenging runs, are you going to finish the walking for EXP POC?
I also hope it isn’t intentionally easier for this challenge
Is Plaitnum Kaizo coming out?
@@mrfigs7804 its in the works, iirc
@@thescholarsjourney661 right? Great content, totally ignored. Teased. But, nothing.
This game literally developed a solid chunk of this man’s character. It was cool asf to watch the progression. Quite the ride
This comment made me realize his sub goal was there, and he was at 300 at attempt 30 and 3,000 by 100
This is such an interesting way to present this. Not as chronological attempts but taking us through a journey and showing the intensity of the game itself. Good stuff!
And the dedication it took to get there. God damn.
@@VG-fk6nk 70+ early game resets in a row just sounds completely soul crushing
I joined this series just after attempt 77 and remembered hearing all the stories about it. 95% of my Twitch experience was watching the early game resets, so it’s amazing to see just how much Jan went through before this and how far he got WITHOUT LOOKING UP TEAMS. Insane, so hyped to rewatch 151
You think he didn't look at teams ahead? Lol of course he sometimes did. He would not risk a run to some random mobs
He did stop playing blind after a while, but originally he just played blind and noted the moves and Pokemon trainers had that he battled
It was fascinating seeing Jan go through Kaizo blind until Maxie showed the grim reality of the game
You know this shit was tough, when he has an actually hotkey for the reset lmao
I could just hear the tone of his voice shift, that's when I seriously knew how bad it was.
I am surprised he didn't excidentally reset by pressing it
Is it reset, or just restart the emulator? On Mgba, there is an hotkey for that
ctrl+r
I'd be too terrified to actually map that hotkey functionality
Watching him reset at 69 so that twitch chat would shut up.
"Outstanding Move"
Imagine if that would've actually been the run too. Lol that would've been great.
@@superlombax1561 imagine he made it to e4 and wiped on purpose for the memes. That would be chad af

That cliffhanger ending...the allmighty Pilot that truly carried Jan through the 151 attempt. What a legend
The way this video is structured, the insight given at every turn, the plot twists, the incredible final stretch with the HK soundtrack that honestly sounds like a villain origin story in the making... This is perfection, a didactic yet super entertaining video, I love it!
Emerald Kaizo seems to like the idea of “hey y’know that one move that’s good but has a drawback? What if we just remove the drawback?” Very much
Or change the drawback to a significantly less problematic drawback, like Overheat becoming a Recoil move instead of a dramatic essentially one-time use Stat-Dropping move
And then remove your access to that move
I swear Flannery being able to spam Solarbeam with every single mon was the most annoying thing in my life
i feel its moreso "hey yknow the counters for these mons? lets make them lose them instead"
That death compilation was so well made. You can see all the hours that went into scripting and planning this video out. Huge congrats on getting the video together, it came out fantastic. Can't wait for the 151 video. I hope these videos blow through the roof, exceptional work!

Stayed for the defense drop on Latias during the Drake fight.
What an incredible journey
Around 34:30, changing the blind rule, and earlier in the game to increase the level cap by a few levels to increase the viable Pokemons pool. It's really great. It doesn't diminish the accomplishment. It was great to try without changing the rules first to learn if it's doable in a reasonable way or not. I really liked that.
Wonderfully crafted. Huge props to the editors, and Jan for the script. Seeing the journey on Twitch, pchalDaily, and now this is just...wonderful. Loving Vintage White, and I hope to see more content. Thank you to all who gave their support to this vod.

Its very cool watching the sub Goal go up by 10 fold over the course of the runs.
Attempt 5, sub goal 400. Attempt 148, sub goal 5 000. That is indeed more than 10 fold. Subs went up to 4500+, 11 times more than the old goal.
I really appricate the minute detail of saying "probably the best nuzlocker in the world." I've been getting very tired of seeing youtube titles like "best _____ in the world?" or "World Record?"

However he still tries to be as honest and accurate as he can in a world full of attention grabbers.

This was really well edited. I wasn't expecting to be that interested in it because a lot of your old edits get boring after the start. The idea of showing losses through the game and going over how many attempts you lost at each thing was really good.
The voice crack "I just served you all a PB - WOOO" is one of the greatest Pokemon Challenges moments of all time.
This is an incredibly good format for this. LOOOOVE the listing of losses by trainer and progression rather than just showing each loss. Feels like a cohesive story!
The pure energy when PK screams wooooo after that PB joke on attempt 77 had me weeezing
I have to say that the timing for this video was actually great. It’s been just long enough that it’s nostalgic watching all of this play out, reminding me of how much I anticipated the PChal Daily videos every morning, and how wild this ride was.
Pchal: cant win em all
Also pchal: wipes 150 consecutive times
What really amazes me is that the names were still creative in so many of the attempts. Attempt 50 with Muxico City the Grimer, Hopenhagen the Hoppip and Torkyo the Combusken gave me a good chuckle.
Great video dude. Seriously, your ability to condense over 1000 hours of gameplay, and structure it in a cohesive and and incredibly informative manner is nothing short of amazing. Not to mention, you got me super hype during your ending, can’t wait for the next part!
Good for him for finally putting out this video, I'm sure it was a lot of work and after playing this game for so many months I guess the expertation he had himself was kinda high.
Also: I really like that you stopped the censoring, atleast in this video. Makes it much more enjoyable tbh
Love how the runs are ordered by where they ended and not chronologically. Must've been a bitch to edit and go though all those VODs though
Gettin chills from that final taillow encounter ... a hero showed up indeed
My favorite thing is the butterfly effect of resetting attempt 69 and then winning in attempt 151 instead of 150
i really like the chill voice/style used here for your narration it’s very immersive. like the opposite of what one might expect would be attention grabbing but it got me invested
Seeing him beat this game live was supreme algorithmic comment boosting slowbro levels of hype.
I love him telling the viewer to pay attention and then a second later you see someone go “Calm down man” haha
Damn what the hell this video was hype. Had a great time tuning into these attempts after not watching any twitch streamers for over 6 years. Kudos to you Jan.
Also this was really well edited and fun :) Great job to you and your editor for getting this together!
Great video! I really love the fight-by-fight progression based format that you went with! On top of that, the music choice in this video is amazing! you’ve really stepped up your quality recently, and I’m excited to see where you go with it! Also, really hyped for part 2.
This is my favorite vid you have ever posted, learned more about nuzlocking than i thought i would. Was presented beautifully aswell, really felt like i was watching a story unfold. Not to mention the countless hours of effort put into this. Really think this is your best vid yet and should be wayyy more popular.
the voice crack on the woooo after the pb joke had me in tears XD
take a shot every time Jan says he lost an attempt due to being "inattentive" / "not paying attention" and you'll be dying of alcohol poisoning after 20 minutes
Commenting to boost the algorithm for this video, honestly this was so well done, like an absolute perfect way to put all these attempts together in a manageable way to watch. loved this
I feel like the only people who would do something like this are youtubers and streamers. Basically anyone with an audience, i don't think any person alone would subject themselves to torment like this. Kudos to you!
I’ve watched the vods of attempt 151 so many times. And I will probably do a rewatch before the dedicated episode comes out. It’s some of the hypest shit I’ve seen
Ah yes, Pchal's Emerald Kaizo playthrough, aka Calculator: The Game
No hate to Pchal, I just find it funny the damage calculation was so prevalently used in this playthrough
Expert Calculations:
Risky Magma Grunt: Hoh? Are you approaching me?
@@bluestorm749 unfortunately it's a must - many runners always use calculators to theorycraft and plan out these hard Nuzlocke runs.
been waiting for this for a while, can't wait
Same
Feels like I’m watching a summoning salt video. I’m only about halfway through but I gotta give respect to the effort it took to edit this together as well as the dedication to beat this ridiculous run.
in his recent react, Jan says he wishes he was as good at writing scripts as Alpharad. he's actually great at writing scripts, just doesn't have the expressive voice that Alpha has. still love the scripting here
Somebody give this man a nuzlocke champion belt already
No “probably” about it. Only the best Pokémon Nuzlocker in the world could have pushed past all these teeth-grindingly frustrating battles and losses to find the one way through.
Didn’t someone nuzlocke this before him though? But yeah he’s probably the best.
@@dylanfuller8146 bro there's a difference between 'nuzlocke' and 'hard-core nuzlocke'.
The level of patience it takes is actually insane, never mind the genius high IQ plays
@@twangfizz yeah I know I think gian_97 did a hardcore nuzlocke and finished it, and he finished it before PC.
@@dylanfuller8146 wolfie also did it after, blazed the trail jan laid out
many people have hardcore nuzlocked it and beat it before, you just think jan’s the best because he made a full length video on it. sorry but the dude is far from being the best nuzlocker, but he’s definitely one of the most prominent in the community
Can I just say, the music choices in this were absolutely based.
Furi and Hollow Knight soundtracks are insanely pog
Also Hades and Risk of Rain 2 soundtracks - insanely pog indeed!
Add transistor to that. I have no idea what the song at the end is though. I thought it started with hollow knight but I'm not sure what it was at the end
@@vedaryan334 pretty sure it's soul sanctum?
I like the kingdom hearts music
This video is so well edited, it's insane. This deserves the "reacted by a hundred react channels" treatment for sure.
The storytelling and explanation of the strategies is insane. Great video.
It is really cool seeing you go from 400 to 4000 twitch subs over the runs
I followed since attempt 53. It was such an awesome journey, some of the most fun, stressful, exiting, depressing and positive experiences I have had watching a twitch stream. This got me into nuzlocking, and I hope that if platinum Kaizo were to ever come out, I could be a part of that community as the strategies are being formed.
Thanks Pchal for being such a positive influence of me, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into these runs, I’m super grateful.
I remember waiting for my daily video of EK, this series was something I looked foward to. I knew PC for his reaction of Jaiden's video, but I found his content really enjoyable. So, everyday waiting for EK made me REALLY care for some attemps. I was a beliver of Attempt 77 and Good God how brutal that was.
Now after 50 years of overcoming the world's hardest Pokemon ROM hack it's time to move on to even bigger and better things... The Pokemon Smash or Pass tier list!
Really appreciate this more narrative recap style; especially 'cause, I assume, it's a lot more work to do this kind of recap.
@26:40 a lot has been learned about Emerald Kaizo since Yan completed his run. We now know that Sunflora is far from useless after Watson. In fact, a Sunflora with above average HP + Spdef combination is much preferred over Ludicolo on the elite 4. Where Ludicolo is almost always risky on Glacia, a good Sunflora brings the fight down to risking a single crit. The break point is if Sunflora can survive Lapras ice beam on Glacia and it is the 1 crit you have to dodge
I appreciated the treat your editor gives us at 14:46
Amazing video, we can feel how much work you put into it,especially regarding the script! Choosing what parts you would explain must have been torture since so much has happened during these runs,can't wait to see the video about the final attempt !
Man, big applause to you for beating this… and the same applause to you and your editor for this fantastic, well constructed breakdown. So enjoyable.
EK was truly a legendary travail. Congratulations, again, Jan!
I love the use of Hollow Knight music to build tension, absolutely adore hornet's theme
Can't wait to wait your reaction to Ludwig's reaction of this.
as someone who only found you within the past few months, this was an excellent showing of what made this so infamous among your community. Tons of fun to watch. Can't wait to see how you won.
took him as long to release this video as it did him beating the game.
Showing the fails based on the progression of the game itself was such a good idea. Even though I watched it when it happened, I’m so excited for the video on attempt 151
That voice crack on the “woooooo” after “I just served you a PB” is one of Jan’s finest moments
This video was easily worth the wait, the finale one will be amazing. This makes me want to attempt harder nuzlockes (probably not this one for a while).
Add "This is the run" to famous quotes that preceed unfortunate events 😂
We knew it was the run when that taillow appeared
We're finally landing - home plays for a split second
Please, I need to find the music you used, this is all amazing!!!
The way you told the story was actually super cool, along with explaining your strategy (and even the sneaky sponsor was nicely done.) The music made it all so much better than it already is! I like seeing your strategies when told in this format. It makes it really fun to listen to!
I'm so happy I was able to watch you finally winning this nuzlocke. You are the best.
It was so hype being there for the final run, can’t wait to see the last video to finally put this ride of a game to rest
“Rock/Grass Pokémon are only weak to fighting and ice”
Reported for misinformation.
steel types aren't real, they can't hurt you
@@necrobonesgaming2424
Bug as well though…
The Dynamic Duo of this video where we see the sheer pain that was 151 runs of this Legendary Rom Hack and the absolute elation that was the video on the final attempt where all the pieces fell into place just right make an amazing 2 and a half hour experience that I keep coming back to.
Pokemon RSE is so great. Diving underwater was so cool.
