It's unironically really inspiring how Braden let the popular meme of him fumbling the bag in a gen 3 nuzlocke fuel him to be an incredible gen 3 nuzlocker. After everything you've been through, you've earned this win big time.
It's amazing how neck and neck it was at the end between you and Jacob were at the end now knowing that you had a 3rd technical issue the race wasn't paused for.
Yeah Kidd would've fucking ran away with it if not for those technical issues. Even if everyone paused and didn't get ahead of him, that momentum and spirit was lost for a bit and took awhile to get back. And of course, Flash was lost.
For those wondering about the mentioned Explosion Meditite plan for Tate and Liza, here's how it works: Lead Boomer and 1 hp medicham. T&L see kill with both into Medicham, so you detect. The boomer can get hit from Claydol eq here as long as it doesn't die to new gen crits. Boom onto your detect, killing your boomer, Xatu, and Claydol. Send out a fake out Mon and fake out one of Solrock and Lunatone while reversal ohkoing the other. Reversal ohko the last Mon to get a quick Tate and Liza with one planned death and hype UA-cam content.
He’s gone from botching up a Gen 3 Nuzzlocke with the unintentional death of an Onix to taking the crown over 5 other content creators with very intense and careful planning, in the same generation. That’s some real character development right there.
Technically Alpharad beat himself against Drake lol, but yeah, Kidd did really, really well *EDIT:* of course, Arad never would have had that opportunity if Kidd didn't lose those 15 minutes to begin with lol, would have just been eating dust in second place
Super entertaining video!!! I found your channel through this challenge and seeing your win made me really want to see this from your perspective. Love the editing and thought processes behind these. Can’t wait to see more from you ❤🎉
Honestly, adding all of the Pokemon Master’s Elite 4 Remixes for each of the respective Trainers made the ending to this so awesome. Phenomenal editing.
Braden (sorry if I misspelled that dude) went through one hell of an arc. From being “the onix guy” to an honest to god Pokémon THREAT. You love to see it!
So what you’re saying is that Kid would have absolutely destroyed this competition without the error and running into all of the trainers. Good to know.
Easy fix for races like these. Have a timer going from the start of the race to the end. If you have problems like you did and have to restart from the absolute start then you restart the timer. So at the end of the day you all compare timers… then they dont have to wait. Such a simple answer
I'm just still suprised nobody took Chansey or anything. I understand the logic behind the decision but it's SUCH a safe pick. Serene grace w/ softboiled, calm mind and any 2 coverage moves you want could probably deal with well over half the battles in the match in case you dont have a mon to reliably deal with it. With how many people didn't get any fire mons due to the sun team it made a good susbstitue. Smeargle as well in a way but. I get why Smeargle got left out for a race.
I think the play for Sceptile is to delay Treecko's evolution until you get energy ball at level 37, since you aren't really using it until Tate and Liza, and energy ball is much better than leaf blade because it is special.
Video idea: similar draft format, but it's a team of 12 and the race starts at the Mars/Saturn multi battle in Ren Plat and ends when you beat Cyrus in the back to back in the distortion world.
Honestly I’ve stepped on so many pointy things that it doesn’t bother me anymore. Yeah I’ve had glass in my foot for about 4 days, yes I’ve had many splinters, yes I’ve stepped on legos, but I’m gonna still walk inside and outside barefoot. Sometimes when it’s hot I like washing my car and I purposely get my socks soaking wet to help me cool down. I don’t mind wet socks, I DO mind wet sleeves
That..sounds like a big problem..not being bothered by pain is a problem, it can lead to you ignoring signs something is wrong and ending up in serious trouble because of it; it's why when people say they're jealous of people born unable to feel pain usually people retort back "you should be glad you weren't"..those people get hurt a lot, risk infections, and all kinds of other stuff because they can't even tell when they're hurt or if they need to go to a hospital
Your picks honestly resemble a cracked EK team with Lanturn, Sceptile, Swellow, and others. Edit: Also Slowbro, Gyara, Tenta, Forre, Armaldo, Flygon, Slaking.
I quickly glanced through your spreadsheets. Why was Aerodactyl so high in Gen 1, and is Gyarados really better than Alakazam? IMO teleport outpaces any battle advantage.
@@owenaspinall2046 If they had to do magma and aqua I would agree that alakazam would be better, but they didn't have to deal with that part of the game so less time would be saved from the pick.
This video is really making me want to try my egg nuzlocke again. Make a random box of eggs, randomly select 5 to go with my starter and that's my starting team. Everytime I lose a pokemon randomly add one of those eggs to the team. I did it on y back in 2020 and really want to do it again. But I'm waiting to see what gets announced on the 27th in case there is more pokemon getting added to gen 9
Braiden: I was the only one who didn't wipe during the Elite 4 Didn't Cjya technically lose to Tate a Liza(and couldn't re-fight them with his single unknown)?
Does anyone know how to get the infinite rare candy key item as well as level caps in emerald-ex-speedchoice? Or even the DraftEmerald custom build they are using here?
the spreadsheets came in clutch LOL
The spreadsheets won me the run tbh LMAO

Hi, Yaki! Please make another Nuzlocke video! Your Gen 5 one was HILARIOUS! 😂
Agreeing with the person above silently.
No checkmark 🤨
Man didn't just take Alpha's W, he took his victory music with it
😈
Thats the abandoned ship/Sea Mauville theme
The one your saying is ORAS Hall of Fame one
Um ackualy moment
We love to see it
@@No_pro_bro that song + "and just like that.." is how most of alpharads challange video ends
@@No_pro_broNo it wasn't.
It was Meteor Falls.

the fact that you did this with an 15 minute disavantage is amazing
Admittedly, there’s something so hype about the change from, “what did I say, Braedon?!” to “Congratulations, Braedon!”
"We can't use niche Pokémon anymore, we just need pure power to plow through the remaining trainers"
*Shedinja stays*

The live commentary down the stretch and the dual POVs was intense, loved that!
the fact yaki was always so lost made me laugh so hard lmaooo🤣
I watched this live and I was still on the edge of my seat. Great editing and great video! The win was absolutely deserved
wait, you lost 15 minutes, and despite that you won fair and square? holy shit dude, absolute GOAT
Technically Alpharad beat himself against Drake lol, but yeah, Kidd did really, really well
*EDIT:* of course, Arad never would have had that opportunity if Kidd didn't lose those 15 minutes to begin with lol, would have just been eating dust in second place
Congratulations on such a well-earned victory, especially after the game tried to (but couldn't) glitch you out of the race.
Watching jacobs video then this back to back has made my day lmao
I like how music changes during e4 battles to reflect their individual theme from masters ex and so seamlessly too
Super entertaining video!!! I found your channel through this challenge and seeing your win made me really want to see this from your perspective. Love the editing and thought processes behind these. Can’t wait to see more from you ❤🎉
Grats on the win, you deserve it! Love the editing on this it's all very polished
The "just like that" with the shoal cave music was objectively the correct play
Braden had every possible inconvenience happen to him and he still won
Aside from the bugs, was such a fun stream. Great little summary video, congrats on the win!
GGS Captain Kidd! Congrats on the victory!!! Funny I just watched Alpha’s video, great to see your perspective on it!
Honestly, adding all of the Pokemon Master’s Elite 4 Remixes for each of the respective Trainers made the ending to this so awesome. Phenomenal editing.
Really hoping you guys do another Pokémon Nuzlocke draft. It was great.
Braden (sorry if I misspelled that dude) went through one hell of an arc. From being “the onix guy” to an honest to god Pokémon THREAT. You love to see it!
So what you’re saying is that Kid would have absolutely destroyed this competition without the error and running into all of the trainers. Good to know.
I like how this is less of a game show with switching povs, and just watching one’s own adventure
The fact that even if you didn't make them stop when you broke those 2 times, you still would have won, just 2hrs behind. Beautiful.
Easy fix for races like these. Have a timer going from the start of the race to the end. If you have problems like you did and have to restart from the absolute start then you restart the timer. So at the end of the day you all compare timers… then they dont have to wait. Such a simple answer
The thumbnail is legit amazing. Kudos to the artist.
After seeing you build your team I 100% knew you'd win! Gg, well earned!!
Love the Masters EX elite four music
i love love LOVE how your videos are edited, good shit captain kidd
The squirtle overlay sprites and the little cutaways are so fun
Squirtle player sprite is precious
Had to drop the like for the PMEX music during the E4, only BANGERS 😤
When I watched the drafts, you became my number 1 choice to win JUST BECAUSE you took Roselia and I love that line xD
WOOOOOOO \o/

is eviolite implemented in the game?
@@someonesgenericfish0 no
“Others were started to get annoyed”
*shows cj* 😂😂
Loved this content, I think you all should do gen 1 or another one!
That ending was freaking hype. GG
I love the use of the Masters EX themes for the elite four, and actually using the ones made for each member
Thats what I call a good redemption arc since that onix incidence ^^
Didn't even need to bust out the Onix with Sturdy, absolute legend.
It's actually insane how much you have improved as a player and I have mad respect for you!!
I’m so incredibly proud of kid. From onix to champ.
Loved the transitions between the masters hoeen e4 themes
yooo hype video i love these style vids
He went from the guy who thought onix had sturdy, to the victor of this incredible race
Gotta love an underdog story! The game crashing should have ended it, but you pulled through!
I think the play for Sceptile is to delay Treecko's evolution until you get energy ball at level 37, since you aren't really using it until Tate and Liza, and energy ball is much better than leaf blade because it is special.
Although I guess evolution cutscenes are time killers
Jacob’s video was so nostalgic to watch, thanks for bring the memories
Kidd was just taking time losses, so at least someone could catch up to him, to make video more entertaining for us!
What a UA-cam))
You are very fun to watch ,oh captain my captain
Bro you just got rekt by shanks in one piece
THATS MY UA-camR RIGHT THERE LETS GOOOOO
"The starter I haven't used up to this point" he says after showing us him using it in Tate & Liza.
yooooooooooooo this was hype AF
I absolutely LOVE that you used Kazooie at the Facade bit; I'm a huge BK fan, that alone got you a new sub :]
I knew you had won the second you picked Lanturn, my Boi never let's you down.
Bro got his redemption arc
All your bathroom breaks were giving me ANXIETY oml 😂 congrats on the win!!!
That Thumbnail is fire!!!

Jan's nuzlocke senses are tingling
Congrats, Kidd! Despite the Onix and Norman moments, you really had a solid run through this race!
That is a nice thumbnail. Big up for whoever made that.
the berserk shirt goes hard
Kidd used Skill Swap and took Jacob's luck
Skill Swapped his super luck Absol
Watching the draft I knew he had a huge advantage with some of his picks
Congrats Braden
Your Swellow was the MVP for sure.
Captain kidds power was soo much he gave everyone a 15 min cushion and still won!!!
Winner's POV right here
killed it. gg, here from alpharad's page
Onyx is still bitter about the jynx situation

Truly the pinnacle of your gaming career. No recent events could definitively top this. Nope.

Yo game broke 3 times and you still won. Crazy
showdown tournament next!
Alpha’s vid basically skipped over your technical difficulties, so this was a nice new perspective 😂
The fact that he lost 15 minutes and still won is insane o7
Hey it’s the Onix guy! 😂
I have the hardest time with long streams. I’m always having to panic run to the toilet
Captain Kidd is Brock confirmed. "Go Onix"
Braiden: I was the only one who didn't wipe during the Elite 4
Didn't Cjya technically lose to Tate a Liza(and couldn't re-fight them with his single unknown)?
Well done, Braiden!
Your past sins regarding nuzlocking may be expunged now :D
Apologies for my excessive screaming in the chat.
Alpharad didnt pick natu who learns teleport at lvl9 so he didnt monopolize teleport
It was a close match between you and alpharad
kidd should get an onix oroboros tattoo
Tbf, CJ also didn't wipe on the elite four :D
Does anyone know how to get the infinite rare candy key item as well as level caps in emerald-ex-speedchoice? Or even the DraftEmerald custom build they are using here?
What the hell was Alpharad doing with those 15 mins? Apart from going out of the way to get thunderbolt
I’m sad he didn’t mention the fact that cjya lost to Winona
100% copying Alpha's outro, with the whole "And just like that" and the music is such a good way of ending this video.
