Two Player Nuzlocke with the World's Worst Accomplice

- World's best girlfriend, but world's worst accomplice
Ever since I made my girlfriend play through Pokémon FireRed we've gotten requests to attempt a Soul Link together on this channel. For the uninitiated, a Soul Link is a cooperative two player Nuzlocke where you and your partner's Pokémon are linked together. If one Pokémon faints, then whatever it's linked with is gone as well. Since Soul Links are usually randomized, I wanted to wait until my girlfriend knew what more of the Pokémon were before attempting something like this. So with her most recent completion of Pokemon Emerald I decided she was finally ready to take on the challenge. This video is the result of our Soul Link adventure.

The girlfriend luck and the girlfriend sabotage lol. This was the ultimate challenge run for Nic.
Fr tho
Harder fight than the champion fight
Indeed
Girlfriend murdering all her boyfriend's favorites while Delibird survives to the end xD What a champ!
missed opportunity to call this "Datelock: Soul linked"
Why would that have been better? 🤔
@@HerHollynessbecause they are dating and gender rule they got it also goes well with date night they're other series
The word nuzlucke is liked by the algorithm
@@CrystalClear5617 Datelocke: Soul-Linked Nuzlocke. Problem solved.
Comment of the year
I love the ending of "there's one pair that's unbreakable Taryn" AWWW THAT'S SO FRIGGIN CUTE
The editing on this one felt like a real step up and was a ton of fun. Loved the various PKMN death cam edits.
Thanks so much! :)
@@BoyMetGirlI agree! It was awesome! I love this series and it just gets better ❤
ShamRock being Sudowoodo's nickname is absolutely perfect. Can't believe I've never heard that before!
That's brilliant lol
Taryn: dead pokemon go to the Farm
Nic: dead pokemon go to the Deli
conclusion: gambling saves lives
Fact:90% of gamblers quit before they hit Big
no its 99%@@NoSi_420
The way she says "Ponyta" like it rhymes with "Bonita" is adorable
welp
that gotta be my nicknames for my Ponyta for all time
Bonita Ponyta
and Bonito Ponyto for the males!
THAT DITTO WAS COMICAL 😂 "I'm gonna go right to my lucky patch of grass" You sure did 😂
And it was lucky, too. Without having encountered ditto there, he wouldn't have been able to capture latias in route 7.
@@TenebraeLuxhow’s the Lapris now
That Destiny Bond was so Bs I couldn't believe it. Well done you two
So THIS was the secret project.
I don't know how I didn't see you guys doing a soul link, I should have expected this lmao.
34:05 the editing of that gambling arc, switching in time with the music was, was satisfying
2 Things
• 26:37 - Shout out to the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack
• The next different gimmick you can have her attempt other than just progressing nuzlocking generations is a Pokemon Infinite Fusion run
The moment Tyranitar entered the screen, with The opened way in full swing, i nearly jumped because of the epicness! Really well done!
That moment was easily the highlight of the playthrough for us! :D
23:38 When you randomize the TM’s theres a slidder that determines the power of moves that the TMs are more likely to be. i always set it to around 70-80% that way you still get the occasional garbage TM but also have the chance to get Flamethrower type attacks as well
I know this isn't a well known homebrew rule since it's still fairly new, but a lot of soul links recently have started using a rule that any Normal/Flying type Pokémon (like Swablu and Swellow) would count as Flying encounters since, before gen 5 and that's only including Tornadus, there are 0 primary flying type Pokémon. Just a thought to consider if you ever do another Soul Link. It may make some of those encounters a little more desirable.
9:45 “no you went first boo” aweee
The moment that dude said "You might be able to get away with a psybeam" my heart dropped. Swalot is a tank. Really unfortunate loss.
And kadabra has weak defenses so you need to one shot anything he’s facing off with.
@@thomash341This and specifically physical defense. And Poison is physical is Gen III...honestly an oversight of Nick's imo. Happens to the best of us.
One of the best edited videos yet. Kept my attention the entire time. Really fun play through to watch you guys do!
Thanks so much!
Honestly falling in love with this channel, the two of you are delightful and the way it really feels like a shared experience - even the Pokémon master Nic is having fun. The editing as well continues to excel; keep it up both of ya!
Oof, those remaining teams to face Blue. While they point out one team is weak to fire, the other team carries a common weakness in ground.
It's amazing they walked out with only one Pokemon targeting a full team's weakness.
And this is why if I'm doing a "randomized soullink", I'm not using the 1 typing per team. As long as you caught it, it's viable. Just still has to be linked to the other pokemon.😂
Yeah that rule is super annoying when playing, I think the only similar rule I would personally use is that the pair of Pokémon cannot match their primary typing.
Nick pulling in the boyfriend consoling after Latias :')
The editing in this is SUPERB! I love at 33:47 where it cuts back and forth between you guys on the same beat as the music! SOO GOOD
The gambling edits to the swing music cutting back between the beck and call was great fun to watch.
This channel just keeps on improving.
The king dice theme is so perfect for the gambling arc
For future reference there’s a way to randomize pokemon and keep at a relatively similar power level to the ones you would normally encounter and you can also set it so that trade evolutions evolve at a set level. Although not doing that does lead to great content moments!
Pkmn Champion activated his trap card: Call of the haunted and summoned Rapidash.
Randomizer never fail to time some bs at the right time.🤣
Thing is, it could have been 100x worse.
If it was Notgirl's ace, it would have been level 63...meaning it actually would have been at the *exact* level for Fire Blast. The Gen III learnset saved them but luck was very much giving Nick a break for the losses he accrued by no fault of his own in the Elite Four.
What a run! Looking forward to the Phys/Spec split in Gen IV! Great video!
The video I’ve been waiting for! I didn’t expect it this soon after Emerald but definitely not complaining! Incredible job you two, the editing was superb!!
i know i shouldn't really overthink, but the fact this is all about being linked/having couple pokemon's is making me trying to see how well those pairs would fair in a date.
the image of shamrock and palmer in a dinner is both funny and cute to me
Best editing of Soul Link I've ever seen. It can be hard to tell who is doing what when showing two runs together, but you guys aced it. Looking forward to the next one :)
The Gambling Arc Editing and music was GENIOUS. :D
Don't know how you have the patience for such difficult nuzlockes, lol. Cheers to you
What a twist! Though I do think I prefer the regular Nuzlockes and Tarn’s reactions to the games. Will you do Gen 4 like Platinum and beyond? Keep it up!
Me too.
This was probably the most on-edge episode of Boy Meets Girl yet! I never knew about co-op Nuzlocke so this was intense!
After all these years, it's amazing how a Nuzlocke-video can make my heart beat as if I was playing it myself, and this was one of the best I've seen. You guys are amazing!
Fantastic Soul-Link! You guys have come so far with the Nuzlockes. I can't wait to see what more you have in store.
The video I've been hoping for! Love you two. Look forward to watching this
What an incredibly satisfying watch. Thank you for spending the time to play, create, and edit this.. Y'all are rock stars.
You two gotta admit, every one of your Pokémon nuzlocke challenge video, there’s gonna be one of my favourite rival battle Hugh’s theme. 🥰 Thank you!
I love these two. I hope they have kids that grow up to be elite gamers and carry on their parents' legacy. I will shed old-man-tears-of-joy.
The wedded pokemons rule is actually really cute and fits the channel so well. But hearing they had to be different gender i couldn't help but think "love doesn't win in pokemon😄"
Shears the Scizor and Guilford the Aggron both were male.
@@H-es8dl really? I haven't finished watching yet. Well, joke doesn't work then, but wholesomeness fully restored. Thank you.
There were also a few nonbinary icons like ho-oh and magneton
10:56
The Return of Dimple: Electric Boogaloo.
it's so fun to watch the way taryn's coming into her own as a trainer, i love this series
The editing has definitely leveled up in quality! I'm actually replaying LG so it was so great to come across this video. Also, Tarny, my wife says you laugh like a seagull and it cracks her up 😂😂😂
Oof, that "Primary-type" rule was always my least favorite of some of the more common optional rules to nuzlockes.
I tried t for my first one, because I guess the friend who suggested it saw a video that made him think it was a core rule and I couldn't convince him otherwise at the time. We ended up dropping the rule about 3/4s of the way into our SwSh run because we found it just wasn't very fun for us. Was just kinda limiting teambuilding in a way that was more of a pain than it was challenging or enjoyable
Holy moly, the editing in this one was absolutely wild. Super proud of y'all for winning as well, _especially_ given your horrendous luck streak leading to the Champion
Was literally rewatching the other Pokémon videos on your channel last night. So happy to watch you guys play a soul link. Keep up the great content! 😊
Yall the editing on these is always so spectacular with showing each of your views and syncing it up together. Just a compliment i wanted yall to receive!. Also watching you guys is like a lil ritual my girl and i watch every new post. We appreciate you guysl!
Thank you, that makes us so happy to hear!! Wishing you two the best
A soul link ruin filled with suspense, intrigue, despair, and... gambling? Also the editing is superb on this one.
I love the editing on this, especially when it looks like you're actually walking around together on the same screen. 🥰
The irony that Tyranitar died because of a fighting move is too good not to mention 😂
I am fairly sure that for the enemy pokemon they have the last 4 moves that they were able to learn so that lucky encounter was because the last 4 moves before was not the type that it needed (I am talking about the point around 43:34)
So it does learn moves of that before the level but it was not the last 4.
"should i use psychic?"
"psybeam is fine"
(dies)
"you shouldve used psychic!"
Soulmate Link
You guys have become one of my favorite channels to binge recently :)
ive been playing alot of co op games with my girlfriend and you two have that same synergy, I love this for yall!!!!
those 7 kills were revenge for the rapidash lol
This video is SO GOOD man 😂
The final gambled duo and the sentence: "There's one pair that's unbreakable"... Man... ❤❤❤
Cute and too good 😂
38:13 The moment she hesitated on the Psybeam, I was like "Don't understimate Swalot, and don't overestimate Kadabra's paper defenses"
I understand the Psychic pp situation, but does that mean they didn't have any Elixirs, Ether or PP up for the whole game ? Or did she just forgot xD ?
Otherwise, well done ! Soul links are very hard especially with the type rule, and even more when facing an ancient power boosted Groudon early on.
Yeah Poison is physical in gen 3, once she chose Psybeam I was hoping Swalot didn’t have sludge bomb.
I love how excited he got at the thought of gambling into a strong new pair.
The editing and pacing of this video is phenomenal, massive props
Seeing you both pronounce Ponyta the Japanese way was very cute.
It's been a LONG while since I last watched a soul link. This was a really fun watch!
Thanks a lot for the subtitles, really appreciate it!
Also love your videos!
Edits where CLEAN in this video loved them all
That screech really mattered since there was no phys/spec split yet and dark is considered special
That was so awesome. I want more lol. The shenanigans that happen during these Pokemon nuzlockes are wild.
Whoever made the Ho-oh move pool for Firered and Leafgreen is actually a public menace, we need J. Jonah Jameson to investigate them for this transgression.
I've never noticed before that in Firered, you have to spend more coins to buy the Porygon at the Game Corner than the Leafgreen counterpart, that's really bizarre honestly like why is it different for each game?
Shears and Guildford are the powers of gambling made manifest!
"Dimple is non negotiable" 😂
Watching the past nuzlockes I agree 100%
this channel is getting better and better when ever there a pokemon anything it always a banger of a vid congrats you two
Great editing, the videos you guys make are always such a pleasure to watch! Keep it up =)
Noicky: "A Squirtle"
Taryn: "A Groudon"
Soul Link in a nutshell
I really liked the editing in this one! Great video as always ☺
You guys seem to have a really strong relationship it’s very heartwarming to listen to your interactions!
The quality of your vids are so good! You guys deserve more subs.
Please make more content like this you guys are like a breath of fresh air. I love the content keep it up.
Thanks so much!!!
'there is one pair that is unbreakable'
super wholesome way to end the video!
Y’all edit these videos so well!
Such a fun nuzlocke video! I can’t wait to see what else you guys do on this channel
You guys should do this with the other generations, your teamwork will make the dream work!
"You should've just used Psychic" my brother in Christ you told her to use Psybeam 😭
This channel is such a good time though. My bf and I have been watching a daily video in this series so we have something to look forward to every day :)
The Shadow of the Colossus music during the Tyranatar was amazing lol
I just reallly loved this video. It's been the higligh of my week after being sick. I really love you guys
Thanks!! We hope you feel better soon!
I love the use of the King Dice remix for the gambling addiction bit lmao.
Of all things I didn't expect this to go into a gambling arc lmao
Classic soul link experience. One person gets all the broken shit, and the other gets the garbage. Even funnier with the randomizer where some random schmo will eviscerate you while the champion has a Magikarp
Nic loved Tarn more than I loved my ex, because something similar happened and I got so angry that I didn't speak to her for a day. I'm so glad you two found each other. The love he has for her would probably outlast anything.
The editing was so good in this one! Me and my gf love watching these videos on sundays =)
24:51 I love the music. It reminds me of star wars episode 4, the bar music.
the video editing on this episode was so good. And what a fun story!!
In a Nuzlocke you never ever use a recoil attack with a high chance to miss
Yo, how did I not see this coming after all those nuzlocks... Of course it was for a soul link. Nick is a mastermind.
First video of yours I stumbled onto and it was very entertaining. I subscribed
This was both super fun and comical hahaha! Loved it!
That was AMAZING! SUSPENSEFUL! That definitely was a very bonding experience that you both survived through. I cannot imagine my wife and I going through that.
Boyfriend meets a majestic dinosaur and names it after her.
Girlfriend murders the poor Dino
Yeeeeeessss ive been waiting for a soul link! Im so happy i woke up to this!
For the Ho-oh the reason imo, is every 11 lvls a move is learned, that it matches with the total available legendary/mythical Pokémon in Gen 2.
