This challange is the equivalent of instead of shiny lock, you find a shiny and the game restarts with a sign saying "oops, you arent supposed to get this shiny : )"
if he didn't tail glow, he wouldn't have died AND wouldn't have even gotten as far in the battle... tailglow doubles his attack, so taillglow into spark is the same as 2 sparks. then he used another spark on the wigglytuff which would have been another 2 sparks = 4 turns to do what he did in 3
Well Freeze has around a 10.7% chance to last 10 turns, far more than any Pokémon would be reasonably expected to last against a foe, so it sort of can be for all intents and purposes.
Realized that a major source of confusion in the chat was that they're confusing base original kaizo ironmon with kaizo ironmon+, the latter being the more popular of the two since it's the rules used for non-gen3 games. Alpharad is using base kaizo ironmon rules.
I like "HM Friends" lol Love how Shiny Clause is "You're allowed to kill the Shiny Pokemon but not catch" "Don't Be Rude" LOL The "No Killing Wild Pokemon" rule has a pretty blatant loophole, if Pokemon exploding is OK then you can grind certain Pokemon (like Gengar) against certain encounters infinitely.

kaizo ironmon is a thing that can be fun to watch but you have to understand that as a nuzlocker it is beyond miserable to play imo. Endless runs with zero prep that can just end due to Destiny Bond, early Dragon Rage, Perish Song, Counter/Mirror Coat, where the optimal strategy is a good offensive typing and high bst mons so you can outspeed and ohko everything. I've always described Kaizo IronMon as a difficult pokemon game for those who don't play pokemon, because the game knowledge you need for it is very low and luck is about 95% of it, so there's very little room for skill expression. Emerald Rogue has legitimate skill and game knowledge to it that makes runs legitimately impressive from a player standpoint, even if there is still a decent amount of luck in it as well, so it's not like randomness in a challenge has to be this unfun. "It's designed to be this way" well the design sucks lmao that does not excuse that the challenge is inherently flawed. People like this challenge because it's free content, you can just do ironmon forever with little effort.
I have no clue if Jacob wants to continue to play this, but if he does, you are allowed to swap to an HM Friend if you get perish songed (the specific rule that says you can is 3.09a). Cant believe chat lied to Jacob when the rules are so simple /jk (seriously whoever came up with all these rules, what the hell)
The funny thing about that first death too, if he had listened to chat and healed on the required trainer he probably still would've gotten perish songed and died anyways. Backseating is so dumb lol
That's only true for the Kaizo Ironmon+ ruleset, which is an expansion on the OG rules meant to be that bit less annoying, and isn't what Jacob is following. Thouugh it might be something he'd enjoy more if he wants to continue the challenge.
Bruh I'm supposed to be falling asleep to this video how the first run gonna be this hype now I'm gonna be tired at work😭 that bide clutch against the 680 bst raywuayza tho? Worth.
The saddest part about the first run is he actually had a chance to save it with double tail glow The way he redid the battle was was just dumb RNG (spark killing in 2 hits was itself RNG--because we already know that it could fail to oneshot at +2), but we know for a fact that just patiently using a second tail glow would've guaranteed a oneshot on both poliwrath and wigglytuff. Crunch was a sick af move to get at 40 for a tail glow pokemon
Which rom/software for the stats, encounters, etc. is he using? Is there a version where all of that comes combined or do you have to have a separate software paired with a rom?
Honestly, yea, these runs just aren't my sort of thing to watch, (and definitely not to do), because they're about 5% skill, 95% rng. It feels like shiny hunting with the constant resetting, except you don't get any reward from hitting the good luck, beyond having to keep hoping the next trainer doesn't have a way to instant kill you or status lock you that you simply can't do anything about.
The more I hear about the rules of this challenge the stupider it sounds. It really feels like a kid going "ooo, and then you can't do this, you can't do that, or that. Heheheh this is gonna be so "hard"". Like there's barely any actual cohesion with it. There a fine line between difficulty and bullshit, kaizo ironmon is just bullshit
The ones that get me are if your get good RNG like starter Dragonite you have to toss it. No amount of "wow i just got lucky!" Is even allowed lol. Truely made for the Unfun enjoyers.
Crendor has over 5k runs of this not a single run success! He's gotten to the elite four a couple times it is very hard the challenge because it's very dependent on RNG
Whoever said legendaries are banned apparently can't read, and im a Yugioh player so my whole thing is that i cant read. Under 3.02 Banned Pokemon, ur starter can be a legendary so long it's base stats under 600
Someone said it, thank you! I literally unfollowed Poo because of his snarkyness on the topic. Kaizo Ironman is a fucking rng dump where most people spam one move throughout 90% of the run. It's hard for stupid randomness and there's close to no skill involved
Just FYI: on the website the rules are No Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 or higher may be used as your main unless you evolve into it. (a) Your starter may be a legendary if it has a base stat total less than 600.
Genuinely don't know what the point of runs like this are. I'm all for randomizers but when all the moves and stats are randomized it doesn't really matter what the actual pokemon is. There's no shock in someone throwing out a dragonite if it has nothing that makes it one
He Literally refers to base stats as a common basis of power in inronman kaizo, and then acts indignant when he's called wrong. Idk seems like a little bitch to me

Listen at 1.25 and you’ll think he’s on adderall
@@SKeeterPlaysOr you're on Adderall and he's talking normally 😂
This challange is the equivalent of instead of shiny lock, you find a shiny and the game restarts with a sign saying "oops, you arent supposed to get this shiny : )"
Watching my all time favorite Pokémon get named “stupid” and put to death in the most humiliating way possible is heart crushing
no such thing as humilix or crushx or sx or putx o retc
"Why would I ever not Tailglow"
Literally ten minutes later, he got his answer.
if he didn't tail glow, he wouldn't have died AND wouldn't have even gotten as far in the battle...
tailglow doubles his attack, so taillglow into spark is the same as 2 sparks. then he used another spark on the wigglytuff which would have been another 2 sparks = 4 turns to do what he did in 3

Damn, that Frozen RNG really made me question whether Freeze is permanent in this gen.
Well Freeze has around a 10.7% chance to last 10 turns, far more than any Pokémon would be reasonably expected to last against a foe, so it sort of can be for all intents and purposes.
@@DaSquyd I meant permanent as in 100% chance to last forever, like it was in gen 1.
wrrr

Important rule distinctions between the two is that + allows for legendary starters, switching out for perish song, and held items being allowed.
I mean, it's all just a solo randomizer at the end of the day
wrrr
I like "HM Friends" lol

i was gonna draw rin and miku kissing with this in the background but i got too invested ;^;
The amount of pokemon zoomers in chat that dont understand pre-physical/special split is crazy
There's so much they didn't understand lol
Half of them were convinced for a solid 20 minutes that tail glow was supposed to be +3 instead of +2
It's. So. SIMPLE!
It even has indicators in the tracker smh
The reaction to microphone failure kinda made my day. Shrug?!

I can't believe I sat here and watched 3 hours this in one setting. Help.
Hope to see him play through the rest of the DLC soon
DYING at attempt 11 🤣
Bruh I'm supposed to be falling asleep to this video how the first run gonna be this hype now I'm gonna be tired at work😭 that bide clutch against the 680 bst raywuayza tho? Worth.
I was just thinking that FML winning the lab battle would have been the funnies thing ever, then-
The saddest part about the first run is he actually had a chance to save it
with double tail glow

Crunch was a sick af move to get at 40 for a tail glow pokemon
DrYuriko at 1:08:21 i feel ya, luster candy also came to my mind
ELEVEN TURNS OF FREEZE ???? HOW ???? I NEVER SAW THIS IN MY LIFE
Which rom/software for the stats, encounters, etc. is he using? Is there a version where all of that comes combined or do you have to have a separate software paired with a rom?
48:20 I 100% expected Alpharad to replace his only special attack with Tail Glow.
What do you mean only special move, he had ember and spark...
How did you Insta-Randomize every run? Is there a certain rom for this? Maybe im simply too stupid to set this up
I think youve basically just gotta have a bunch of pre-randomized savefiles prepped, and just run through those.
I believe they have an ironmon discord that tells you how to do it
What extension is being used to speed up the start of the runs talk to mum straight to oaks lab ect? Thank you to anyone who answers this question.
Who just said Markiplier in the middle of nowhere just because in chat?
Glad I was able to watch this live
Legendaries are allowed, is what Patterz decided after like a thousand runs
Ever thought of doing a Pokemon Stadium 2 Rental Randomizer?
Hey Alpharad you make incredible content keep up the amazing work!
Honestly, yea, these runs just aren't my sort of thing to watch, (and definitely not to do), because they're about 5% skill, 95% rng. It feels like shiny hunting with the constant resetting, except you don't get any reward from hitting the good luck, beyond having to keep hoping the next trainer doesn't have a way to instant kill you or status lock you that you simply can't do anything about.
What happened to the upload on the main channel?
how did alpharad got those fancy assets for this
i want them too !

Heheheh this is gonna be so "hard"". Like there's barely any actual cohesion with it. There a fine line between difficulty and bullshit, kaizo ironmon is just bullshit
Agreed. No Items? Randomized stats? What's left isn't even a game, let alone fun.
That's the point, I'm pretty sure. Creator went in with the goal of making the most unfun bullshit ever.
The ones that get me are if your get good RNG like starter Dragonite you have to toss it. No amount of "wow i just got lucky!" Is even allowed lol. Truely made for the Unfun enjoyers.

It's ONLY rng tbh
How is he skipping to Lab directly? anybody know?
I see that Dexter's Lab reference
Did u now that slaking has a BST of 670. And there have been no changes to its BST at all in the official games
what hack, and mod and stuff is this?
What rom and plugin he is using?
Why is my name also Jacob and two of my favorite Pokémon are absol and scizor
Pokémon but it’s gambling
Yea you are
Whoever made this thing really didn’t thinking about removing all the banned stuff huh? Lazy or for the lols? 😂
Yessssssss
Imagine wasting 6 hours on the tutorial section

You too!
You first
Damn tsk tsk alphaRAD really the ALPHA 🗣️🗣️🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥😔
This game looks so miserable, ngl.
I hate how people just make up lies to get shoutouts.
Like just go outsude.
❤u
Ironmon has been super fun, been trying to do Emerald and loving it
Just FYI: on the website the rules are
No Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 or higher may be used as your main unless you evolve into it.
(a) Your starter may be a legendary if it has a base stat total less than 600.
Character name should have been Alpha Blpha Clpha... Chat let you down. I wanted to see Aalpha Ablpha...
Genuinely don't know what the point of runs like this are. I'm all for randomizers but when all the moves and stats are randomized it doesn't really matter what the actual pokemon is. There's no shock in someone throwing out a dragonite if it has nothing that makes it one
yo i was here
Dumbest challenge I've ever had to watch. If you're going to make a "challenge" make it make sense. Not impossible.

This challenge is lame rules upon rules. Like there is no game left. Like i get it 1 pokemon whole game but no this no that. Just lame
