Getting stuck in spreadsheet hell and losing himself just to realize he lost his love and passion for the game and having to learn to play the game again without the spreadsheet, it's like it's straight out of a movie.
I mean normal Chinese won’t know it. Luke is just really good at English I would imagine he spent some extended time in an English environment. His Chinese audience would not know some part of his explanations.
There’s and episode of the Pokémon Black and White anime where Ash goes to get a gym badge from the flying gym. To his shock, he finds a line of people waiting to battle Skyla. With each person, she examines their Pokémon and decides in her head if she would win or lose. Then, she either awards a badge or denies one completely based on her mental image of the battle. Ash thinks this is terrible and demands a real battle. Luke’s run was blessed because he found the true spirit of Pokémon.
Thank you so much Jan for making this! I'm also a Chinese living abroad and really share the same feeling of what Luke said after the run. We are extremely privileged to have the means and support to live abroad and experience what most of the Chinese speaking community cannot access. Through the love of a game Luke connected people across language barriers and made us all in one as nuzlockers. This is so POWERFUL in today's world especially where geopolitical conflict is on the rise, where someone above tries to divide us through fear and hatred based on nationality and ethnicity. The moment people posting Azumarill in chats across platforms shows how POWERFUL we are when we CONNECT with each other. We didn't let prejudice divide us in that moment like they want us to.
@@k9gao the AI will choose different moves depending on how low your Pokémon’s HP is. Luke needed his Pokémon to be lower HP so the opponent AI would use a less powerful move, so he didn’t want to kill Reshiram before it damaged him
That’s what i’m saying dude is literally the main character. This is what ash’s championship run SHOULDVE looked like lmao. This is a main character level strat. AND he even went through a training and character arc lmao. 10000 runs is actually insane.
@@hajidlecuz it’s a community of people coming together to show their shared support for someone who is passionate about the same things they are. it really is cool to have such a large group of ppl come together for a reason, especially when that reason is to celebrate the accomplishments of someone else!
Seeing pChal in the english stream makes me so happy. Nuzzlocking can often be seen as a sort of doomer topic with people grinding attempts to death but truly the runs that make it the farthest are the ones that are allowed to make it far. The love for these games and community that I see in this video is inspiring.
YO WHAAAAAAAAAAAT I've been subscribed to Luke FOR YEARS and I didn't know he was this good at English. I knew him from his random pokemon challenges, even bought Pocket Academy because I saw him play it. This is the collab I didn't know I need. THANK YOU BOTH.
The spreadsheet method losing his way is giving me a lot of nostalgia for the Pokemon Black and White anime where Ash and Cilan taught Skyla that she has to actually fight her battles not just do them mentally
this video is so cool! love jan’s focus on the multicultural nature of the scene and i think he makes a really good point about how awesome it is that we’re so able to be connected with people all around the world. great vid from jan and awesome run and content from luke! much love ❤
Not really for the content making scene tbh, nearly no mainland Chinese watches youtube, there is a language barrier, and the income on bilibili is abysmal compared to UA-cam. I'm mean mr beast starts uploads on bilibili only this year, it only proves how unprofitable it is over there.
@@doug539bro probably wants to grow the community in China more so than money. If he’s a Chinese abroad student it’s pretty easy to imagine that him and his family live comfortably
I love Luke's channel and he was one of the first nuzlockers I watched when I started watching Pokemon content on bilibili. Super cool to see him featured on your channel! Edit: His "Can I beat Pokemon ... With only (Pokemon) series is amazing as well
18:51 this right here is why I could never even consider doing a hardcore nuzlocke. For me, the pokemon I'm journeying with are what matter, and grinding run after run just turns them into tools to be optimized. Its even more so for me because I'm a writer. I like to come up with stories and characters to go with my playthroughs, and you just can't do that when every single one of them is expendable. I respect the intelligence, determination, and skill that goes into these things, and I like hearing the stories from afar. I could just never do it myself.
im thankful for pChal showing me this guy who i most likely never would have known. i love stories like this. a lot of people have this mindset of "it's just a video game why go through all of this" and i can in some ways get that, but to me i see a beautiful story about persistence and dedication for what is just a "video game". seeing a person's ability to dedicate themselves to what may seem like the silliest things yet still persisting and continuing for seemingly just the want to say "i did it!" will always be a beautiful yet silly way to display what humans are capable of.
I vaguely remember a similar experience with you in emerald Kaizo where you would reset often early without perfect encounters but said fuck it lower the level cap by 1 to increase runs past gym 1 to decrease burnout. Good to see the community progressing in the right ways. That and introducing candies. Still can’t believe people used to do runs without them
i kinda love the evolution of pChal becoming the Nuzlocke Historian. What a great vid to watch and see this beloved way to play grow into more pokemon fans!
This is super awesome! I’m glad to hear he won the run! But it’s so cool that he is able to bring multiple regions together and help bring nuzlockes to another part of the world.
Glad to hear you're working on Run & Bun and away from League. League fucked up my life, and a lot of others I know, and it's kinda funny that a video about a Chinese player is what brought that problem to light too. Cheers Jan, I hope you stay clean and I hope Lukey keeps doing awesome stuff. That was the cleanest R&B E4 I have ever seen.
I think it's really important for different cultures to connect with each other, because with certain geopolitical tensions going on, people can end up hating people from countries that their governments have beef with. Like Americans and other westerners convincing themselves that anything that comes out of China or Russia is suspicious. I think actually communicating and building community with people from those cultures is really important, no matter the context, and I'm really glad you made this video
The fact that Nintendo views rom hacks as a form of piracy really shows that they don’t understand what Pokémon is at its core. They throw out half-baked games for maximum profit nowadays. There’s a reason you rarely see people playing through sword/shield again whereas challenge runs of gens 1-6 are thriving. It’s very heartening that people from so many different places have connected with each other over a Pokémon game that is now almost 20 years old, but is still alive thanks to rom hacks and a dedicated fanbase.
Should be side games With target in people poder than Childs. The problem is: things as large as pokémon have little to no flexibility on things they do
Nintendo owns one of the few intellectual properties and games that have a massive fanbase of both children and adults, and they choose to only make garbage games with no end game content that appeal only to children. It's insane to me. If they came out with a half decent regularly updated MMO it would be the most played game in the world instantly.
@@universalplayz7496idk about VAST, I’ve been playing since I was 10, and I’ve been an adult for a while now lol. Literally half my coworkers are into Pokémon, most my friend group is too.
Really resonate with the idea of not forgetting the fact that the challenge is above all supposed to be fun. I get that as difficulty climbs, which many enjoy, we look to seek the most efficient/mathematically sound way to beat said odds, which if both are exacerbated to a high enough degree makes it more a math gacha than a game. I'm nowhere near that competitive but glad to see those that are don't lose sight of why they enjoy the games in the first place.
Absolute legend. I can’t even imagine the time and effort that went into completing a feat like that, and to hear him immediately show gratitude to his fans is special. Thank you jan for sharing this and thank you luke for providing this amazing content.

This is so cool. What a gem of the interwebs bringing folks together from all over to witness something in shared admiration and love of their (our) childhood era reimagined in grueling planning and execution to feel like a Pokémon Champion. So dang wholesome!
He literally just turned his own time fulfillment hobby into a 9-5 job 5/6 days a week with limited breaks and poor pay. I respect that he did manage to get his life back but goddamn man. I spent 10,000 hours on Hunt Showdown during the pandemic, and now I can’t even imagine installing it again
This may not be the same game, but this video has given me a different insight to the Black ops zombies runs for Easter eggs because I'll reset 100 times before I get the right rng to lose everything 5 minutes in to my own mistakes. I think this happens to us because when we play the whole game, it refreshes the parts that are very tedious. Getting the perfect run seems to also bring too much pressure as where in an imperfect run u can always blame it on another factor while, in that perfect environment the only thing you can blame is yourself on every mistake, which is very draining to the mental. Long ass comment to say thank you for the insight into my problem I'm having and good video!
PChal, this video is important. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. This really gives me 'indomitable human spirit' vibes and it gave me goosebumps, this is a heartwarming and wonderful video.
The idea of not only planning your course of action but also planning the trainer battles is insane to me. The fact he knew the exact conditions he needs after gyarados just breaks my whole understanding of strategy games
its nice seeing the world come together. its amazing to see how such a little thing can bring together such a massiv amount of people from around the world.
5:51 I've been recently attempting Sacred Gold in a semi Nuzlocke format. _One Encounter per route, but I get to choose and no death upon faint. Level Caps ect still apply. I dub it Euro Extream after MGS series._ *I've never related more to this moment!*
Knowing Run&Bun was made by a brazilian remember me of Light Platinum in the early RomHacking days. Until now is one my favorite hacks, it was so impressive to lil me that a pokémon game could be so huge.
I know that this might be impossible, but could you Nuzlocke all Pokemon games without dying or resetting in one run? (one game from Gen 1 to Gen 9) This could be a series...
I know that "Spreadsheet" issue, I like taking deep dives into (certain) games and pre-calculate what is best, but also what's the minimum I want to achieve in a video. But the issue comes in once you have an actual run, let's say it's a 8.5/10, I constantly see how it could have been a 9/10, or 9.5/10, or even 10/10, just by 1 luck moment being different - which then completely ignores everything that had to go right to get the 8.5/10, as it just happened it feels like it can just happen again on the next run. But the most ironic part is that most other comparable videos are maybe a 4/10, or 5/10, meaning the 8.5/10 would be way above them. I don't mean quality wise or regarding entertainment (that's subjective), but just what's objectively possible. But because of that I "lost" over 70 videos where I just stopped the recording and needed to take a break because my mood wasn't there anymore.

3:40 I love this music. I wish it was used more often
what song is this???? i cant remember
Wonderful video Jan! Great story telling. And thank you for introducing us to this amazing streamer!
0:59 got me in tears, before the main event even started.
Thx Jan and crew.
I am so glad you covered Luke as a Chinese. You both are my favourite Pokémon streamers!
its nice seeing the world come together. its amazing to see how such a little thing can bring together such a massiv amount of people from around the world.
This is probably the best ad read ever, I loved seeing the attempts go up just in the span of the ad read
Thank you for introducing him to me! I will definitely be following him, he seems to be so cool to watch, and his streams look really interesting!
17:40 this outro is beautiful in itself, and I think because of that, it deserves to be a piece in of itself.
Amazing content. Luke seems like such a wholesome guy
5:51 I've been recently attempting Sacred Gold in a semi Nuzlocke format. _One Encounter per route, but I get to choose and no death upon faint. Level Caps ect still apply. I dub it Euro Extream after MGS series._ *I've never related more to this moment!*
Knowing Run&Bun was made by a brazilian remember me of Light Platinum in the early RomHacking days. Until now is one my favorite hacks, it was so impressive to lil me that a pokémon game could be so huge.
I know that this might be impossible, but could you Nuzlocke all Pokemon games without dying or resetting in one run? (one game from Gen 1 to Gen 9) This could be a series...
Good choice on the Garuda Desert music 👌🏻
Love watching your nuzlocke attempts but this vid is so fucking interesting!! You have a great narration style/voice for it
Dude seems so in tune with pokemon mechanics its crazy to see this happen, I never thought anyone would be able to nuzlocke that mod. Just wild
I get amazed almost everytime on how well you build your storytelling from the video to the ads.
Never have i seen a chat go that smoothly, it makes a man cry
I know that "Spreadsheet" issue, I like taking deep dives into (certain) games and pre-calculate what is best, but also what's the minimum I want to achieve in a video. But the issue comes in once you have an actual run, let's say it's a 8.5/10, I constantly see how it could have been a 9/10, or 9.5/10, or even 10/10, just by 1 luck moment being different - which then completely ignores everything that had to go right to get the 8.5/10, as it just happened it feels like it can just happen again on the next run. But the most ironic part is that most other comparable videos are maybe a 4/10, or 5/10, meaning the 8.5/10 would be way above them. I don't mean quality wise or regarding entertainment (that's subjective), but just what's objectively possible. But because of that I "lost" over 70 videos where I just stopped the recording and needed to take a break because my mood wasn't there anymore.
