@@shawndowling8592 He lost to Winona's last pokemon - which is a double battle with 6 pokemon and multiple of them are legendaries (that battle was fucking insane btw)
well, now he can actually try to beat it while following the rules (ek made it no time based events occure til post game, that includes growing berries, so having unlimited berries isnt possible til then)
@@porpoise8160 cuz berries break the game. this "rng" that makes pokemon be pokemon, is taken away by many berries, see the lum berry every opponent seem to have. a stray flamethrower burn can cheese a fight or cost you a mon, thats rng, having berries takes away that rng. "yeah but opponent also have berries" yes, thats part of what makes ek so difficult, you wont win by a lucky ice beam freeze, and therefore no reason to cheat.
@@porpoise8160 how? how would not cheating lessen the skill factor? thinks like sitrus berries turn some 2 hit ko into a 3hit ko, how is that improving game and not simply a cheat to make it easier? how is not having to play arroung status moves cuz you added berries for that improving skill? yes, you'd have to decide which berry, sitrus or lum, but that isnt nearly as skillful as having to play arround status and 2 hit kos.. RNG is ALWAYS a factor in a pokemon game. thats one aspect that makes it pokemon.
It really isn't a simple "they just have good teams" scenario though, as they have modified certain moves and some Pokemon have moves that they simply shouldn't have yet. I don't think the Romhack is bad, but this is definitely modified rather heavily, it just stays with a lot of Gen 3 and priors mechanics (like the lack of the Physical / Special split).
That's not all, your mons will never gain a single EV, while most trainer mons are fully Ev'd, atleast the gym and rival ones. The only support option you have is I think screens and maybe a destiny bond max while enemy will do all kinds of rain and sun setups. Nuzlocking this is hell, let alone with level caps. I had 9 levels over Wattson's Manectric still got rekt.
@@awesomegamercz Yes. This is more of a statement towards his intro for the romhack. He said that the premise for the game was that it was very similar, but the enemies had good Pokemon and your options were limited. However, that's clearly not the case.
dante uchiha the reason why I say it’s fun early game is because there are a lot of options, later on there are still a lot of options but there are a lot of things that the maker of this rom-hack placed just to annoy the player. Honestly I recommend playing something else there are a lot of others games that are way better than emerald kaizo.
: TurTorTle : bro that shit is cancer ,oh my god I had to leave the hideout and heal after every battle (since I don’t usually buy potions) to get through it. Also the teams in the hideout are designed specifically to annoy you, you can’t even use water types because every pokemon knows a broken grass move.
Honestly doubt it. You need a specific team to beath the E4 deathless, and a lot of Emerald Kaizo's difficulty comes from complete artificial bullshit. If he can pull it off though then damn, man really gets to call himself the best.
Based, but I really think this wouldn't work in nuzlocke, even with the silliest strats. Like even without the level cap rule the first Gym is hard as sht
I think he can do it but from my perspective the early game might be harder for himbecause of level cap than when he tries the e4 a few times and knows a good strat it will be finished because in this game as long as you have a decent team and are over level by 6-8 levels it's easy untill later in level 100 territory imo they should have built in a way to stop overleveling in early game like a soft cap
Hey Jan Wanted to just tell you that you inspired me to do a Pokémon platinum nuzlocke and I just beat Cyrus with no deaths! My strategy: OHKO Houndoom with Close Combat with Infernape Go to Luxray as Gyarados comes in and use Intimidate. Predict an earthquake with Staraptor and intimidate again. Predict Ice fang and go to Infernape. Predict waterfall and go to my Gyarados(And intimidate again) Bring out Luxray and tank 2 hits before OHKOing Gyarados. Sweep through his team with Infernape Mach punch and Luxray spark. Thanks for the inspiration. If not for you I would surely have had my Luxray and my whole team swept through by his Gyarados. In short, you taught me pivot. Edit: I just finished the nuzlocke and defeated the elite 4 and Cynthia with no deaths. Omg it was so so scary. How? Dragon Dance Gyarados.
@Reine Buttermilch It would be a garunteed 3 shot against his remoraid which he had out at the time, (not counting the attack drops that it had) so I wouldn't consider it a threat.
So im trying pokemon emerald kaizo NOT as a Nuzlocke, and i get just passed around by every enemy. You got my utmost respect for doing this game as a nuzlocke
@@hiei49 Me either and it’s strange because it has trash special stats. I also remember fighting a flygon with giga drain. It seems like a lot of mons know moves you think they wouldn’t be able to learn but apparently they do.
@@BuildaBarb Yeah. Most set up moves in Kaizo are trash for their Pokemon or are given to trashy pokemon like Sunflora. The AI can use Double Team though. Giga drain is pretty bad on flygon generally but it can give you a headache if you start with Swampert, more taking into account that you arent expecting that. There is also Hidden power grass spam but you get used to it eventually.
So Yawn is just arbitrarily changed into Spore for this game? Giving the trainers tougher teams is awesome, but changing the base mechanics without any warning is sort of dumb imo.
its actually not, because it puts you to sleep on the start of the next turn. So, contrary to spore, you still get off a move if your opponent uses yawn and is faster than you
Hey Pokemon Challenges, I watched this video and many many others on your channel over the last couple days now, I must say, I'm hooked. Actually though, not so much for the the pure Pokemon Nuzlocke challenge skill, which is obviously there, but more for your general style of making videos and your ability to reason really well on everything you encounter. That reasoning is not only involved with your own nuzlocke challenges, or in your comments on others', but its also there in your comments on general issues, or in the way you formulate your criticisms etc. You mentioned in your video on XQC's Nuzlocke run that XQC's entertainment factor is high because of his innocence, and thats why he has more viewers, but I think your entertainment factor is way higher for the complete opposite reason: you have no innocence, you plan everything out to the point where I'm genuinely baffled by your skill, and youre not surprised by stuff you need not be surprised by. These are just some of the things that make me want to watch more and more of your content. I think XQC's many followers come from the fact that he has way more variety in his content (many different games), not so much from what's actually in the videos, in that dimension, your videos are miles better. I don't know if you're open to it at all, but I could really see your channel grow into something much bigger by doing other things than just pokemon Nuzlockes (keep em in, though, obviously), meaning making videos on other popular tactical games (maybe Riotgames, like LoL if your mechanics are good or TFT if you want to focus on tactics, perhaps hearthstone, although thats not really thát popular anymore). I can imagine your proficiency at any competitive game that requires tactical skill to be really high, or at least loads above average. I don't know about any other games you would really enjoy, so I cannot give any more specific suggestions. So, keep your way of doing things, your style is really great, your tactical skill is off the charts when it comes to Nuzlocking, but I just wanted to suggest to you to maybe think about carrying this style and tactical skill over to other games you might enjoy and try expanding on your content. You might as well try it out sometime. Anyway, I love your content, I hope you read this and maybe give it a thought or two. Cheers from the Netherlands!
Seeing this I really want to see pc try Pokemon Reborn. It seems literally impossible to nuzlocke because not only do they have tough battles and boss encounters, but also the field effects in the game. Not crazy like Dark Rising, but definitely on the level of Kaizo and Radical. The game might not be complete but it'd be cool to see nonetheless. (I think the gyms are done but not elite 4 and champion?)
There are 17 gyms in the game. The next update should include the final gym and the elite four + champion. It was recently announced they're going to focus on the game again after they put out a demo for their new rpg, so hopefully we will see complete in 2021/2022.
Watching this reminds me of the time I put into completing pokemon emerald kaizo and the hardest part of the game for me was a Sunkurn at the beginning of the game im kidding it was probably either walking through victory road or invading team aqua and magma bases
It probably won't be. Treecko really isn't that great. Mudkip run probably has the best chance of succeeding because marshtomp and swampert are really op
Oh boy, that looks cool, just was thinking it'd be over with Red, but he's still growing, so isn't as strong yet! I wish i could follow the streams, but reallife is one heck of a stressful happening, not even cuz of a virus of any kind, unless "bad luck" is one.
I just beat this today on a normal playthrough, though I did play on set mode the whole time. This game is hard af with all the status conditions and you're forced to play offensively the whole game. I won't even try nuzlocking Emerald Kaizo. I was excited when I beat the champion though. Arcanine was my MVP.
It's been really fun watching these attempts live and inspired me to start doing my own nuzlocke content, looking forward to see how far jan makes it before he quits :)
jan after escaping a potential wipe after the opponent’s skringus paralyzes his entire party and only comes back by hitting the illusive .77% roll on bimblo blast: LETS GOOO EASY GAME LITERALLY FREE
The fact that every single of the opponents Pokemon have objectively better moves than you rubs me a bit the wrong way though. Same lvl Kabuto having Giga Drain instead of Mega Drain, the Yanma having Ancientpower, etc. Also seems to be somewhat heavy reliance on luck-based tactics. Idk, guess I'm not into this kind of torture is what it boils down to
@@MrCharly780 For context, Jan has been trying for a good while now, and he regularly does math for every single battle coming up to make sure he can avoid any deaths. Most recently a very long run died at Winona, even though he spent like 2 hours planning the fight out and getting the right pokemon out of his box. It's definitely possible, I think, but you have to have some luck, insane knowledge and insane intiuition. I think Jan can do it but he might gain some gray hairs doing it.
If you've ever played PokeMMO that's probably one of the hardest nuzlockes to do. I'd say borderline impossible. They have level caps in the game making it insane along with good AI. Hoenn Sinnoh Unova and Kanto from the in game ROMs.
@@galiodart3673 yes. I tried playing emerald kaizo but even a normal run feels unfair. Flannery has 6 pokemons with solar beam on perma sunny day, and a lot of other covers. How tf u fight that
@@sleekzoroark1664 well it would defeat the purpouse of the hack to begin with haha. i just left it at the weather center and fuck it. theres a difference between "hard" and just straight unfair. its like "oh i'll make a hack in which your pokemon always deals 1 dmg on every move hahahah so hard!!1111!"
@Luthfi Jaya I mean at least in radical red you are given all the tools necessary to create multiple competitive mons and adjust your team depending on who you’re facing. Emerald Kaizo is just the game being unfair and trying to torture you.
@@BuildaBarb Same, I like hard games that give you the tools to succeed, and just task you with figuring out a path to victory. And Radical Red’s major fights are pretty hard to cheese given the Sleep Clause, Evasion Clause, and the soft level cap restricting any cheap strategies.
Glad you're enjoying it. Personally didn't enjoy the Emerald Kaizo at all. Nothing really felt fun or satisfying, alongside the removal of EVs, but watching the run is fun since I can tune out of the intentional bullshit on a whim 😂
@@justice7659 Oh yeah I'm aware. I've done a few Kaizos and quite a few other nuzlockes. Emerald just didn't feel fun or satisfying in comparison and I prefer watching Jan do this particular rom hack, that was all.
I know some things about Emerald Kaizo. Most status moves such as taunt and the weather changing moves are disabled. Only the opponent can do it. EVERY single pokemon has a different moveset. If you wanna look at their movesets, go to their website and download the text files for each gen they originate from. The worst part of this game is the enemy has at least 2 maxed EVs, and you can't have any!! So IVs are VITAL to success. I hope this info was helpful for your later attempts of this nightmarish game
They actually don’t have maxed EVs, but do almost always have max IVs. And EV gain is disabled (except for Charmeleon which accidentally still gives sp atk EVs).
Its so sad that in the first tries he is so motivated and plays everything out and 100 tries later oh 2 bad mons reset one death reset one enemy crit RESET. Sunkern no reset.
"Shadow sneak added to the game. That's kinda cool"

18:18: "Im assuming we're speed tied".
"Nope!"
Truly Kaizo :)
Genuinely I couldn't understand how you got 6 pokemon before petalburg woods, but I guess the fishing rod really makes that easy
"Remoraid seems really useful for Roxeanne." Attempt 1 theory crafting. OMEGALUL
Watching this reminds me of the time I put into completing pokemon emerald kaizo and the hardest part of the game for me was a Sunkurn at the beginning of the game im kidding it was probably either walking through victory road or invading team aqua and magma bases
Bruh when yawn immediately put puff to sleep I was slack jawed for like a whole minute I did NOT expect that lmao
Hype for 12 hr. Treecko attempt stream! This is the run! (Well at least I really want it to be.)
It probably won't be. Treecko really isn't that great. Mudkip run probably has the best chance of succeeding because marshtomp and swampert are really op
How late is he beginning the stream?
@@Akumo69 nah torchic is the way to go, you can get barboach before wattson so marshtomp isnt really needed
@@Akumo69 In normal Emerald, Swampert is OP, badly, in Emerald Kaizo there are so much trainer that makes Swampert completely useless (like Flannery).
Dude you're almost 150k! Thats amazing congrats! Pog.
Oh boy, that looks cool, just was thinking it'd be over with Red, but he's still growing, so isn't as strong yet!
I wish i could follow the streams, but reallife is one heck of a stressful happening, not even cuz of a virus of any kind, unless "bad luck" is one.
I just beat this today on a normal playthrough, though I did play on set mode the whole time. This game is hard af with all the status conditions and you're forced to play offensively the whole game. I won't even try nuzlocking Emerald Kaizo. I was excited when I beat the champion though. Arcanine was my MVP.
He ist still trying to beat Emerald Kazio. Currently on attempt 56
UA-cam crashed for me right when it said "Pikachu used Surf" lmao
Twitch people, LETS GOO, TREECKO RUN IS POG
GODRUN
Well well well look who returned to the start after 151 attempts
doesn’t look too hard, could probably beat the champion with 3 pokemon
It's been really fun watching these attempts live and inspired me to start doing my own nuzlocke content, looking forward to see how far jan makes it before he quits :)
I love this channel so much!
you're the best PC hope you have a great christmas mate, thanks for the content this year
He's the best cuz Its all he does he has nothing in life except pokemon its sad
@@brycejarvis1577 he makes us feel better about our meaningless lives
Why did you play emerald kaizo blind but not radical red?
Asking the real questions
He had played emerald...
jan after escaping a potential wipe after the opponent’s skringus paralyzes his entire party and only comes back by hitting the illusive .77% roll on bimblo blast: LETS GOOO EASY GAME LITERALLY FREE
Damn he’s on attempt 151 now how time is a cruel mistresses
You've been killing it lately! Thanks for entertaining me!
The fact that every single of the opponents Pokemon have objectively better moves than you rubs me a bit the wrong way though. Same lvl Kabuto having Giga Drain instead of Mega Drain, the Yanma having Ancientpower, etc. Also seems to be somewhat heavy reliance on luck-based tactics. Idk, guess I'm not into this kind of torture is what it boils down to
Didnt think I'd catch this so early! Youre awesome man!
I tried, I failed, and I gave up. I’m too casual for this game.
Glad you gave up because some trainers had double battles all the time
Is there even a way to nuzlocke this? Haven't seen a UA-cam video of someone who has.
*tried
@@silverthehedgehog5187 oops 😅😅😅
@@MrCharly780 For context, Jan has been trying for a good while now, and he regularly does math for every single battle coming up to make sure he can avoid any deaths. Most recently a very long run died at Winona, even though he spent like 2 hours planning the fight out and getting the right pokemon out of his box. It's definitely possible, I think, but you have to have some luck, insane knowledge and insane intiuition.
I think Jan can do it but he might gain some gray hairs doing it.
I love how Jan's Kabuto is backwards but misspelled
All of the names in this runs are acronyms somewhere throughout the evolutionary line.
I love this concept of hardcore nuzlocke. I've been played competitive battling via Pokemon Showdown for like almost 2 years. This reminds me of that.
If you've ever played PokeMMO that's probably one of the hardest nuzlockes to do. I'd say borderline impossible. They have level caps in the game making it insane along with good AI. Hoenn Sinnoh Unova and Kanto from the in game ROMs.
Nobody:
“Emerald kaizo is the hardest nuzlocke ever!”
Ding dong Games: “Aw that’s cute~”
He forgot to mention the part where all your pokemon have 0 IVs across the board and the opponents have 31 IVs across the board.
wait what? the enemies have evs? wtf i thought it was completly disabled. thats just unfair then.
IVs do vary, it's just EVs that you can't accrue.
@@galiodart3673 yes. I tried playing emerald kaizo but even a normal run feels unfair. Flannery has 6 pokemons with solar beam on perma sunny day, and a lot of other covers. How tf u fight that
@@caiobotelho8528 over level like a mad lad through rare candies, drug up ur mons(basically cheat an hack in protein, zinc and etc)
@@sleekzoroark1664 well it would defeat the purpouse of the hack to begin with haha. i just left it at the weather center and fuck it. theres a difference between "hard" and just straight unfair. its like "oh i'll make a hack in which your pokemon always deals 1 dmg on every move hahahah so hard!!1111!"
Pokemon reborn is super hard and I would enjoy watching you play it
So this is where it all started
and this started the long chain of events that let up to attemp 151
My experience on this one was Treeco was the best way to guarantee a 2 gym clear. I gave up though. Lol
Ey, where’s the rest of Radical Red? Was enjoying that.. haha
@Luthfi Jaya I mean at least in radical red you are given all the tools necessary to create multiple competitive mons and adjust your team depending on who you’re facing. Emerald Kaizo is just the game being unfair and trying to torture you.
@@BuildaBarb Same, I like hard games that give you the tools to succeed, and just task you with figuring out a path to victory. And Radical Red’s major fights are pretty hard to cheese given the Sleep Clause, Evasion Clause, and the soft level cap restricting any cheap strategies.
As someone who's tried emerald kaizo this is so anxiety inducing
Like the editing on this one, nice vid PC
I wonder how many names does he have to think of every day.
At the end of the day I would end up naming them numbers.
i know i can barley name one pokemon and he has to name a full team plus others...wow
I just started watching you on twitch a couple days back. this is awesome. love the emerald kaizo. i wish i didn't have a mac so i could play along
you can play on your phone with a emulator
@@galiodart3673, how I have an iPhone? I’d love to know
Heh. Heh. We’re still here boys. We might win tomorrow tho.
We won
@@joseinenglish9309 I SAW. POG CHAMP!
@@ceazer6857 SLOWBRO POG
Have you ever thought about nuzlocking other "Mon games" before? Like nexomon extinction, temtem, or something?
Just curious.
This man,: Èzzz
Me: he won't make it past the first gym
Imagine how hard platinum kaizo is going to be...
Its gonna be worse than hell
Now we have learned something, sometimes an easy game is a good game 😅
Glad you're enjoying it. Personally didn't enjoy the Emerald Kaizo at all. Nothing really felt fun or satisfying, alongside the removal of EVs, but watching the run is fun since I can tune out of the intentional bullshit on a whim 😂
Well it's a kaizo rom hack. It's supposed to be hard as balls to begin with. Nuzlocking it would be a death wish for a fairly experienced player.
@@justice7659 Fun is more important
@@justice7659 Oh yeah I'm aware. I've done a few Kaizos and quite a few other nuzlockes. Emerald just didn't feel fun or satisfying in comparison and I prefer watching Jan do this particular rom hack, that was all.
I know some things about Emerald Kaizo. Most status moves such as taunt and the weather changing moves are disabled. Only the opponent can do it. EVERY single pokemon has a different moveset. If you wanna look at their movesets, go to their website and download the text files for each gen they originate from. The worst part of this game is the enemy has at least 2 maxed EVs, and you can't have any!! So IVs are VITAL to success. I hope this info was helpful for your later attempts of this nightmarish game
They actually don’t have maxed EVs, but do almost always have max IVs. And EV gain is disabled (except for Charmeleon which accidentally still gives sp atk EVs).
Seriously great content my guy
Its so sad that in the first tries he is so motivated and plays everything out and 100 tries later oh 2 bad mons reset one death reset one enemy crit RESET. Sunkern no reset.
I liked this shorter form, edited down style for the video. Also, every single opponent Pokémon is a butt clencher
and he succeeded
