    The reason Roxanne's nosepass didn't go for rock Tomb (7:10), is that emerald Ai only goes for a move that drops your speed, if it doesnt outspeed you

    This format looks great. If you can find a medium between this and the ones you stream you might just have the perfect format overall. One that I hope can be extended to the franchise Nuzlocke once you decide to resume it. (Honestly my main suggestion is to do one Alola run, a couple other runs, then the next Alola run. Interspersing softens the burnout.)

    A little tip for anybody doing a nuzlock in gen 3 and onwards, once you have access to vending machines you basically don't need any other healing items for a great majority of the rest of the game.
    Fresh water is basically a super potion that you can get 3 of for the same cost. In rse there is the soda hut below slateport on the beach that you can get soda pops for (again) less than a super potion but again it cotsts less than it.
    This is useful for saving money for other important things that need it.

      I’m just gonna be the one to say this, but I don’t think he ever intends to finish his Franchise Locke. Don’t get me wrong, for anyone that enjoys his content I fully encourage you to keep watching and supporting the channel, cuz he has released some good content and only stand to get better with support, however this guy at least to me wasn’t known until the Franchise Locke began. If you even search up his stats, his channel boosted in popularity around last September, around the time he released the first franchise locke video. That there is no coincidence. However it’s likely a tactic, as he’s probably afraid he’ll lose viewers and subscribers if he finishes the franchise locke. It’s smart honestly, as this alone has kept me subscribed anticipating the next franchise Locke video, but it’s time to draw a line. I will say that him thinking he could nuzlocke all the games by the release of scarlet and violet, let alone the end of 2022 was a pipe dream, especially when balancing it with whatever commitments are going on in his outside life, but at this point it’s been months since the last release. Burnout is a real thing, and it is important to take care of oneself, but in the real world it’s no excuse to bag on your commitments fully because of burnout. I’m sure I’m not the only who who has thought this.

    Hey Meatball, here's something that might make for good content; Fuselocke.
    Pokemon Infinite Fusion.
    Catch the first two pokemon each route and you must fuse them, that is your valid encounter.
    No species clause because you can actually fuse 2 of the same pokemon together and get a result.

    Hey Meatball. I have a suggetion in regards to you Nuzlocke challenges: Single-type challenge. Basicly you can only use pokemon that only have 1 type unlike mono-type challenges where you can have the challenge type + another. "What about pokemon that gets another type upon evolution?": I would say they are a no-go but that would be up the player to decide that. I think this challenge would still be as hard/easy as other nuzlockes. I am planning on suggesting this exact same thing to other Nuzlockers

    So, let's take a moment to understand the Gen 3 AI and why the second attempt at Nosepass didn't use Rock Tomb. See, Gen 3 AI has this weird quirk where if it has a stat altering move and your Pokemon has a higher stat than their Pokemon does, they will always use the stat altering move.
    So if your Pokemon has a higher speed than Roxanne's Nosepass, it will always use Rock Tomb. But once Nosepass outspeeds your Pokemon, it'll use it's moves randomly (with the exception that it won't try to set up Block twice).

    "Can you beat Pokemon Emerald using set-up strats with some of the best pokemon in the game that outspeed and OHKO everything" I mean, yeah probably.
    Your only death the entire run was just because you misplayed super hard against Shelly's Carvanha; I guess you forgot it was a dark type when you decided to use confusion, but I don't get why you would use confusion over thunderbolt in the first place, surely you didn't forget the fish pokemon is a water type.
    I appreciate the decent editing for the video, but overall the concept wasn't very interesting-- Anyone who's played the game before knows how busted Gardevoir and Alakazam are, so there was never really any tension that you'd lose, or even lose a single pokemon. It was pretty obvious that once you got past roxanne it'd be a deathless run (and it would've been deathless if not for the carvanha misplay) especially since you were using set-up strats with calm mind and baton pass.
    There are some great parts though, I particularly loved how you handled the Watson fight, using synchronize to your advantage with cheri berries, stealing his sitrus berry to prevent him from using it AND keeping it for yourself, great stuff. For future nuzlockes, I'd recommend not allowing yourself to use set-up strats-- they are boring to watch, and stuff like the Watson fight makes for much better content.

    23:54 ish. If you want my level method, uh I usually do something along the lines of Lvl 5->7->9->12->16 and from there try to keep going up in increments of 4 levels up until my mons hit level 50 and then go to increments of 5, rotating my mons every time they get to my self imposed level cap. Because evenly dividing numbers is based. Sure it'd get in the way of level caps, but sometimes you need something to aim for to stop yourself from steamrolling with one mon when not using gym leader level caps.
