    • @yesterdaystomorrow5510
      @yesterdaystomorrow5510 2 місяці тому +8

      Follow up, I love this sort of randomized Pokémon style because of how many options it opens up. A poison Monferno is wild for instance.
      I think it really stirs the pot and keeps content from burning out (not to say I don’t LOVE monolockes, I’m pretty obsessed with them).

    • @yesterdaystomorrow5510
      @yesterdaystomorrow5510 2 місяці тому +7

      It’s giving “Pokémon Too Many Types” energy. Which I’d say to do a run of, but that version is ridiculously challenging and the type table is atrocious.
      It’s only something to try if you genuinely want to suffer. But it seems really fun for a casual play through.
      Which, lengthy side note, I’d be down to watch more casual play throughs if it ever peeks your interest Dr. Flygon. For instance, Pokémon Legends Arceus wasn’t a very good game for Nuzlockes, but is still great and it’s just fun to hear your commentary and see your reactions.
      I know there’s the Highlights channel videos, but maybe we could get it on the Main channel? The new Legends game in the future could be a cool Let’s Play.

    2. I need the phrase "Her Bitch Too Bad" to be carved into my tombstone when I die. That is utter poetry.
    I'm sure there will be more gems the rest of the video, but these 2 moments were so good, I had to pause. Great video concept; fabulous execution

    Two slightly connected ideas but a nuzlocke where all of the Pokemon are terrible (as in, no IVs, can't gain EVs) or where only the 50% slowest Pokemon can be caught would be interesting.

    suggestion: encounters chosen entirely by people you know who are completely ignorant about Pokemon. they don't know typings, stats, moves, even names of anything beyond Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charizard, etc. You just show them a set of the available Pokemon in a particular game, and ask them to select a few. using whatever criteria they want. you do not tell them this is for a challenge or that you're looking for strong Pokemon to be chosen. the Pokemon's nickname in the challenge will also be decided by the person who selected them.

    @timmaia5082 2 місяці тому +1

    Amazing. Beautiful. Nothing short of superb. The fact that it's a Kalos playthrough means we get to see the figurines directly in action, too.
    My only nitpick is that Slow Start is pretty unbalanced on a Pokemon with Protect and Recover (Regigigas has neither) as well as a legendary's mega stats. To keep things fair, I would only use him while Slow Start is active, not the other way around.
    But honestly? THIS WAS AMAZING. Definitely one of the most fun I've had watching your content (and I've watched literally all of it), if not THE most fun. Definitely consider doing more of this in the future if there's an opportunity.
