I don't think there is anything wrong with allowing the friendship mechanic to work. It really just proves how much your pokemon loves you and you don't seem to have done anything about the dodges that were caused by it. Great video!
The double shiny fail for Forretress was definitely painful, but the sacrificial explosion during the Sada fight after you finally got it somehow was both hilarious and painful at the same time 😂. Definitely needed a good laugh today so thank you for that. 😂 Very entertaining video all around will definitely be watching this video more than once! 😁
A few people have had similar comments, but the friendship mechanic solidifies the nuzlocke for me as it demonstrates the bond that you build with the Pokémon on your team. If you are going to punish them for toughing it out and not fainting then by rights you need to do the same when they land a crit wanting to be praised or dodge an attack by your shout.
You genuinely have to be some of the funniest and most enjoyable content on UA-cam. The pokemon nuzzlockes/shiny runs are so fun, and your jokes throughout, fast paced editing and general smile and lovely personality keep it an utter joy to watch!
To me the affection mechanics are a neat flavour bonus for the nuzlocke. You punished yourself for surviving a Brave Bird, but you never said anything about dodging an attack due to the same mechanic. Since you cannot stop the affection building up, unless doing very boring and convoluted stuff, to me you should take advantage of this. You shouldn't rely on it, but at the same times it isn't wrong or cheap if it triggers. Keep up the excellent quality, you are a great content creator!
Yet another stellar, exemplary, outstanding, prodigious, breathing, synonyms video from Gentledude! Keep up the work, king! I have no doubt you'll be a youtuber before you know it!
Id love to see you do a team rocket (Jessie and James) run.... Only aloud to use Pokemon they owned. Meowth, Arbok, Seviper, Yanmega, Mimikyu, Weezing, Victoreebell, Growlithe, Cacnea, Chimecho, Amoungus, and Marinie. I think theyre all the avalible encounters with the dlc mons included.
As a bug trainer myself, welcome to the club! The rate at which you’re putting these videos out is insane, glad I stumbled across your content, keep up the good work!
Since it's random I don't think the friendship mechanic is something you need to punish yourself over, after all crits also happen because of it and you didn't punished yourself for it did you? 😅 it's like the integrated exp share, it's just part of the game now
Semi-automatic horse is my absolute favorite thing anyone has ever called koraidon! Had me on the floor for a good 5 minutes. Keep up the great content man!
"It's synonyms." I know this appears in your videos, but I get a good laugh every time you say it. Nice name theme: Egyptian Deities. Edit to add: for some reason, I heard you say "It's cinnamon" so now I hope a future nuzlocke you do will have a naming theme of herbs and spices.
Bug types are my favorite types, volcarona and its paradox forms and pre-evo being my favorite pokemon in the series. So when I see content like this featuring bug types, its very enjoyable cause it proves that the bug type has potential, especially after gen 5 when the bug type got a bit of a buff and had a lot of good additions, and since then there've been a lot of good bug type additions. however they still have their weaknesses which is why its important to use strategy and planning when using bug types I adore this video it was a good watch
I respect your decision, but I think the friendship mechanic is ok. idk, you see examples of it in the anime all the time lol so it's consistent within the series that bonds between trainer and pokemon can make it out of tough situations. I don't mind your perspective tho, it made the run that much more interesting to watch to the end of!
I stumbled across your videos a couple of days ago. Honestly can say you are one of the best pokemon content creators I've seen, just so entertaining! Keep up the good work fella 😁
Soon as I saw the explosion of Forretress I knew what was gonna happen. Great video and a really cool type to see used! Can't wait for the next challenge!
Personally i think the friendship mechanic fits the nuzlocke setting better than it not having it. You are supposed to be super attached to these pokemon it would only make sense for it also to work the other way around so the loss is even more devastating when it does happen
Man your content is so entertaining. I hope you get more engagement. Your editing, storytelling and overall content is just a joy to watch. Keep it up!
What a absolute crazy ass beast of a soldier you are to put your run in jeopardy all because the grace of RNGeodude allowed your Neith to show you a bit of love by hanging onto life by the skin of a Walrein’s left tusk…. Only for you to order Siri to sign off on the ruthless, gold blooded execution of your poor Anubis. Good job their wasn’t a morale brain fart when the love mechanic saved some lives previously either by a bit of dodging or confusion break through. But really the ethical bit of back and forth makes for a good bit of fun! Amazing job on another top class Nuzzie mini movie. 🎉
Your videos are insane. They are unbelievably good and I really enjoy your content. Tysm for all of your hard work. Btw my first full odds shiny was also a taroundtula
I took a level 1 Larvesta all the way to Champion as a Volcarona. Beware the Firemoth! Heck he's with me in Kitakame knocking the heads in of the "Loyal 3"
I suscribed to you because you did more of those full odds shiny, it's full respect to have the patience to do something like this, also love your editor chan! Super fun!
If I was Siri and I was asked for a number 1-5 I would say what for? And he would be like: to sack a shiny Pokémon, 10 seconds of silence. Then siri says: 6😂
@@Gentledude.oh I did! That was funny, entertaining, and I enjoyed the small edits and fun commentary. Sadge to see the small Combee be fodder… too bad you couldn’t get a vespiqueen outbreak. I liked that mon. However, can’t deny the fun ending with Forrtress… rip
Great video! I agree with Lokix being sick, actually a really cool and decent mon. Also, Grusha is a he?! Damn, he's got pretty eyes. I'm also curious as to how long each shiny took.
I have found that everyone who tries bug pokemon just grows to love them. I tried these guys because Leavanny was pretty cool, and I just caught the fever
Genteldude u are the best small pokemon youtuber how you dont have a million subs i dont know but u are the main reason why im starting youtube soon thank youuu so muchh
After finding your channel very recently, I found a renewed love of Pokemon, and NO JOKE shortly after finishing one of your nuzlocke videos I found a shiny slugma AND a shiny Carbink both within the HOUR😅 Anyways Absolutely love your content and subscribed immediately because of your fantastic personality😁😁👍👍
Bugs are great When I was dealing with johto my Butterfree helped me a lot as a sweeper with sleep powder (compound eyes almost 100% ACC )and quiver dance
You don't need to change my opinion of bug types because i love them already. I even alternate between Kleavor, scizor, heracross, and slither wing, and some others
Whilst I personally adore the friendship bonuses, especially in nuzlockes, I believe you can counter them by healing your pokemon with herbal medicine, (as it's bitter and they don't like it apparently?) as it will lower your friendship points with a pokemon and the bonuses trigger less often. Not optimal for friendship evos, but I think it should work with the other mons
This is my first video on the channel, but I can tell you are an up and coming nuzzlocke youtuber and I can’t wait to see you grow! If you reply to this that would make my day
hello gentledude! I'm happy with this video, I also made a monotype bug (but not shiny) now I'm watching the video and I hope to see another video of yours soon, bye!
As a representative of the bug typing, and a who specialises in bug types myself, I am happy that you have given the consideration to use the cutest bugs 🐛
I've never found a channel as underrated as yours. You're videos are always super entertaining, I've been watching them a ton recently (your voice is also a major plus). I hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves. P.s. I would NOT mind having a pokemon named after me in one of your challenges
@@Gentledude. I'm glad to hear. Trust me, I'm super tired of seeing people do Bug mono runs and start with "BUG-TYPE WORST TYPE", like the Ice-Type doesn't exist for pete's sake.
You should do a gentlemanlocke where you use Pokémon that give off a gentleman vibe be it that it looks/feels like one (this one is personal preference) or it has features that make it socially a gentleman (an example would be kricketune’s mustache)
I don't think there is anything wrong with allowing the friendship mechanic to work. It really just proves how much your pokemon loves you and you don't seem to have done anything about the dodges that were caused by it. Great video!
Well you can also see it as just a different crit chance. Your not trying to get it, it just happens.
You should do a dude lock, where you can only use pokemon that have some relation to your channel
Geoduee is in the dlc so maybe
yeah, fr
UA-cam luck
That would be cool
Yes!!!
I get the biggest hit of dopamine hearing Gentledude go "Yes!" or "Yaaay!" Whenever he finds a shiny.
Gentledude falls further in love with Grusha every single nuzlocke it’s great
The double shiny fail for Forretress was definitely painful, but the sacrificial explosion during the Sada fight after you finally got it somehow was both hilarious and painful at the same time 😂. Definitely needed a good laugh today so thank you for that. 😂
Very entertaining video all around will definitely be watching this video more than once! 😁
It was soul crushing to say the least...
You could say osiris went out with a bang

@@Gentledude. And totally deserved! While I've got you here, I'd love to see a ghost/dark type nuzzlocke next you can
I’ve been binging your stuff 😂 Literally some of the best paced and humorous challenge runs 🔥
Same!
I know he is the best UA-camr
thank you dude! i appreciate that a lot 🙏🏽

a lesbion cookie wtf your food

You forgot peliper but good idea
As a bug trainer myself, welcome to the club! The rate at which you’re putting these videos out is insane, glad I stumbled across your content, keep up the good work!
Bug has always been my favorite type!!! I'm so glad to see some love for them.
thank you so much!! yeah i love em too now 🫶🏽

It’s actually mad impressive the battling you do in these videos to not lose your Pokémon
Neith is punished by death due to friendship yet nepthsis avoids a move due to friendship and goes unpunished... JUSTICE FOR NEITH!!
"It's synonyms." I know this appears in your videos, but I get a good laugh every time you say it.
Nice name theme: Egyptian Deities.

Yoo!! I love your vids so much, they are so entertaining and you are literally the only UA-camr I watch ❤
Love the vids man keep up the great work. Nice naming theme love the Egyptian gods
Literally just got done watching some older videos cuz I like them and now I have another video to watch. Love your content.
been binge watching your videos, super excited to see this pop up in my sub box!
I’m so glad you made another video, I was hoping you would! You inspire me to do my own nuzlockes!
Personally i think the friendship mechanic fits the nuzlocke setting better than it not having it. You are supposed to be super attached to these pokemon it would only make sense for it also to work the other way around so the loss is even more devastating when it does happen
wow Gentledude has been growing so much good job your almost at 30K subs keep up the great work
Man your content is so entertaining. I hope you get more engagement. Your editing, storytelling and overall content is just a joy to watch. Keep it up!
My first time watching one of your videos and i love the edits and energy in the video cant wait to see future videos!

Not me thinking that you names your pokemon Thot every time I saw it. This one was fun! Thanks for using my favorite shiny moth in it as well
Heyo! This was an awesome video! Keep it up Gentledude!
Yooo it’s about Dahm time your such a huge inspiration for me I love your videos and havnt missed a single one thank you for being so awesome

the time and effort that must go into these is insane!! such a sick video🔥
first off i LOVE your username, but yeah they do take a while.. but the love that you guys are showing on the videos is just insane
so it’s all more than worth it!
@@Gentledude. thank you!! well the love is well deserved, and I’m sure that there’s plenty more to come too with how amazing your content is✨
For a fun bonus, Titan Clawf doesn't even know a rock move
As someone who's favorite type is bug, I appreciate this a lot, you've earned a sub my dude!

YAY FINALLY!!! I’m so happy bugs are my favorite type, I’ve been looking forward to this!
Amazing video. Had to sub after this. plus, a man of culture.
I love bug type pokemon!! Nice video c:

thank you so much!!
I took a level 1 Larvesta all the way to Champion as a Volcarona.
Beware the Firemoth!
Heck he's with me in Kitakame knocking the heads in of the "Loyal 3"
Love the bug appreciation 🧐 bugs been my fave type since the beginning, have done bug runs in every game
I suscribed to you because you did more of those full odds shiny, it's full respect to have the patience to do something like this, also love your editor chan! Super fun!
Great vid as always Bugcatcher Gentledude
I am so hyped, this is the perfect timing! Can’t wait wait to finish and give my thoughts!
If I was Siri and I was asked for a number 1-5 I would say what for? And he would be like: to sack a shiny Pokémon, 10 seconds of silence. Then siri says: 6😂
i hope you enjoyed it 👀
@@Gentledude. I did a lot😁
@@Gentledude.oh I did! That was funny, entertaining, and I enjoyed the small edits and fun commentary. Sadge to see the small Combee be fodder… too bad you couldn’t get a vespiqueen outbreak. I liked that mon. However, can’t deny the fun ending with Forrtress… rip
Great video! I agree with Lokix being sick, actually a really cool and decent mon. Also, Grusha is a he?! Damn, he's got pretty eyes.
I'm also curious as to how long each shiny took.
your content really gets me through shiny hunting. much love.
s’what im here for 🫶🏽
I love bug Pokémon X:) my favorite is Venonat. It's literally just a fuzzy sphere with big eyes that are full of love.
Looks like an amazing video as always Careful Fellow
Every time gentledude uploads it just makes my day
im always looking forward to the next type i love these type of videos!
I just discovered your channel yesterday, and I've been watching your challenges ever since. It's so fun, great job !
So glad you made this gentledude, the bug type is definitely one of my favorites and is so slept on❤
I honestly couldn't even imagine having the patience to do full odd searches lol. What a beast
yeah it takes patience that’s for sure haha
Just got home from the library, very glad to see this.
I have found that everyone who tries bug pokemon just grows to love them. I tried these guys because Leavanny was pretty cool, and I just caught the fever
I love bug pokemon as Scizor and Heracross are two of my all-time fave pokemon ever.
Soo good! Glad I subscribed! Love your nuzlockes!
Genteldude u are the best small pokemon youtuber how you dont have a million subs i dont know but u are the main reason why im starting youtube soon thank youuu so muchh
Not gonna lie. Almost all of my shiny pokemon were gotten by me just wandering around and then noticing a pokemon that I didn't remember being blue
8:03 deledelewoop
After finding your channel very recently, I found a renewed love of Pokemon, and NO JOKE shortly after finishing one of your nuzlocke videos
I found a shiny slugma AND a shiny Carbink both within the HOUR😅
Anyways
Absolutely love your content and subscribed immediately because of your fantastic personality😁😁👍👍
That's awesome! Thank you so much!
Amazing stuff as always!
"The Stakes have never been higher!"
*Steak gets elevated*
I like this Guy already.🙂
i’m glad someone appreciated the steak 🥲😂
Your videos make me laugh so much and i love listening to them while i do door dash xD I hope you get more subcribers cause your videos are hilarious!
that means a lot.. i’m glad i can make your door dashing more interesting haha!
I love that you used egyptian mythology to name some of the pokemon!
I liked the Egyptian god name theme.
Thank you so much for uploading! This video helped make my day. Now I need a shiny scizor cause man.
it looks BEAUTIFUL with gen 9 textures
Abso-bloody-lutley loving the content! Glad I found you and subbed! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Keep up the good work. Love your videos and can't wait to see what you do next.
Bro you are really good in everything bro it's so awesome one day you will be one of the best youtuber 🎉🎉 wise you great success
Love that i could recognize the ehyptian god naming theme
Also bugs deserve more luv
LOVE the naming theme this time! I'm obsessed with Egyptian mythology and history!
Bugs are great
When I was dealing with johto my Butterfree helped me a lot as a sweeper with sleep powder (compound eyes almost 100% ACC )and quiver dance
amazing videos, I honestly thought you were an old guard member till I seen your current sub count and subbed.
I like bug types, scyther, Butterfree, Beedrill, favorite gen one bugs.
Always a good day when Gentledude uploads.

The honk on the Koridon keeps making me snort-laugh to myself. 😂😂😂
You Schould do a shiny raid only run only shiny from raids to beat the Game 😂!!!

I really like the Egyptian god and goddess theme for this one ^-^
Lokix is one I've been meaning to use, it seems under appreciated and quite strong.
i’ve been a fan since it came out!
Yesss. Buglockes are my favorite!
Bug pokemon need more love
Awesome video
Scizor basically carried but others did there job too when needed
Surprised also didn't get Vivillon to fill the numbers if anything
Now, you have to do shiny dark or dragon type Pokémon! I really enjoy your videos 😊
This is the video I needed.
As a Bug-Type fan, I love that this exists. >: D
it was a blast to play through!
