i don’t have it in me to watch another one of these but i’m going to anyways
Nice
There he is
Nice
Alpha love you xx
Hi
Too bad Alpha didn't grab the potion in his home computer at the start to heal so he wouldn't have lost Funko Pop the 1st
Unless if he had the no healing in-battle which he obviously didnt have
I guarantee that the first would've lost the nuzlocke
25:54 His reaction to Alpharad gambling for 12 hours for some TMs is absolutely priceless.
If only MandJ could see how long I gambled to get that dratini. Only to learn that dragonite couldn't learn fly in gen 1.
What's mind boggling to me is that he would rather do that then grind up his pokemon's levels😂
"TWELVE HOURS?!?!?!?"

Well
That’s one way to describe a nuzlocke
Yes it is
D-Day but for Pokémon
Yeah, the RIGHT way
I prefer calling it a masochist's wet dream
@@endk.3500 Don’t tell PETA
Michael: “why is it called the S.S Rhydon?”
Me: *troll face ensues*
It didn’t take that far to scroll down and see what the joke was. I’m not sure if I should be amused or disappointed
we do a little bit of trolling
Took me a while to get it but why
I don’t get it what is it :(
It’s because rhydon learns surf
A oversimplified quote to sum up Alfreds whole nuzlocke: the balls on this man
Nah that is a quote to describe his entire UA-cam Career. I love his Channel but man watch any video and the quote “the balls on this man” will probably apply
Did it auto or did you purposefully type Alfred?
> Alfred
I like using a death box because it's a brutal reminder of all the death, mistakes and failures I make throughout the nuzlocke.
And shinies get saved
I didn’t think Mikey could get more relatable, but here we are, learning that he’s a massive Alpharad fan and reinforcing the fact that he gets emotionally attached to his Pokémon.
if he was a massive alpharad fan he would've known the artist is the same guy who does alpharad's thumbnails and the guy who did that video with alpha where they do a digital art competition.
@@mikeysaurlol that might be a little too much
@@pink_moose991 its one of his funniest videos and everything i commented is said within the first minute

21:08 Lapras' perish song art showed it singing Megalovania

*heheheh.... good one.
Fitting. I have perished quite a bit while listening to that song.
it is a perish song
He did that because it's funny
I gotta say, with all of the stolen content going around, you actually taking the time to try to get permission definitely puts a smile on my face

Why is Lapras always the sacrificial pokemon that would carry literally almost every single kanto runs for almost every players ever. This is why I'm very emotionally attached to lapras.
"Why is it called the S.S. Rhydon?" Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
I will sacrifice for the joke, c'mon, do it...
Rhydon what?
Rhydon a train good sir
@@Beiconqueso02 Rhydon a boat, obviously
I’m probably wrong but I thought it was because of S.S Anne and Rhydon can learn Surf
@@Beiconqueso02 rhydon the S.S. Anne
Most of the time, creators like being reacted to, but asking is always good.
Yep!
Yeah they usually expect now and either way it is still a good idea
You should always ask first
If ever make a UA-cam channel I'll let anyone reacat to me as long don't trun me into.anything wired or sexual
Yeah!
"it sounds like he has a whole theater" I now am imagining someone playing pokemon, or some other game, with an entire movie theater playing....
I'm pretty sure Koga's gym was supposed to be more about status conditions than the type specialty. I could be wrong, tho since his team was full poison, as were most of the gym trainers. That would be a cool redesign concept for his gym for when we inevitably revisit Kanto for the hundredth time
Yeah, I know right
They did this in Let's Go. Koga's Gym Trainers usually have Poison-Types with Toxic and Protect for stall strats, but Koga's team can be easily beaten regardless.
lesson learn from this nuzlocke: never trust ur friends especially Brayden
And never go in under leveled

Every time the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon song plays, I'm mentally transported back to my first time playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
Every single one of those Mystery Dungeon games have made me cry.
Imagine attempting a nuzlock in a Pokemon mystery dungeon game? I wouldn't even know how to begin thinking about the rules lol
Where is the song in the video?
@@AmericanBoy-si9zg 15:43 I don’t want to say goodbye. Always brings me to tears
@@societyslostone Appreciate it. Thanks.
I feel a part of this is just mikey not understanding how absolutely insane aloharad’s chat is

I usually go with Jolteon with Pin Missile. It's been a long time since FRLG for me so my most recent playthroughs are for BRY and the Jolteon having high Special helps it tank the Psychic hits a lot better.

While I was helping my brother play let’s go pikachu, I found a shiny weedle.
I think the rule “Suffering” includes being under leveled.
Same
Agreed
And keeping a paralyzed Flying type against a Rock type
And missing razor shelll 2 times in a row in black and white even though it has 95 percent accuracy
omeaga lol
I’m doing a fire red nuzlock and one of my encounters was a shiny growlithe! Literally one of the luckiest things that has ever happened to me!
In my nuzlockes shinies don’t actually die. I made that rule so I’m not a time waster
Mikey: why is it called the s.s. rhydon?
Purplecliffe smiles somewhere in the distance 🤣🤣🤣
Yes Michael, he did have an anti-overleveling rule: suffering.
Lmao
He didn't have to be THAT underlevelled, though.

"When it came to Agatha...we didn't really have an answer."
You... had Phoenix right there? He could have easily swept Agatha's team.
"I thought it had sturdy"
this made me die for those of you who dont know sturdy in this gen only stops one hit moves like sheer cold
Only Generation 5 buffed it. Acting like a Focus Sash, while blocking one hit moves.
I did a nuzlocke of Pokemon Black 2, and oh my god, Sturdy was my favorite Pokemon ability now. This luck runs out when I go battle Paul, however.
I lost the strongest Pokemon, Magneto.
I found Magneto as a Magnemite (Virbank Complex)
As a Magneton when it evolved during the leveling
As a Magnezone when it evolved in the Chargestone Cave.
It was basically my favorite Pokemon, and simply seeing Magnezone die makes it worse.
Pokemon Black 2: Extra Chapter: Saddened
Sunny: (cries)
Amphy (Ampharos): It's going to be okay, Sunny...
Klonoa (Lopunny): Oh dear... Poor Sunny has to go ahead and level up her Trapinch.
Kirby (Samurott): Mina died during a trainer battle, Nights died during the leveling session, Phoebe died from a Battle Girl, and now poor Magneto... When will the suffering end for Sunny...
Jitterbug (Leavanny): Sunny... Please use the Trapinch that you're going to use.
Sunny (Rosa): Fine. I'll use Trapinch.
Her Pokemon: Yay!
Sunny (Rosa): I'll have to make sure no more Pokemon die.
Funny thing is that, even if it was the buffed form, Jynx most likely out-speeds onix
It made PChal die as well.
Man that was stupid how it used to work. One-Hit KO moves were very rare as is and they do not hit too often. Glad they gave it the buff for any move that would ordinary one shot it sturdy will prevent (especially since most Pokemon with Sturdy are Rock/Ground times and are 4x weak to both Grass and Water, two of the most common types to encounter in the series
i don’t care
The fact that one of Weezing’s heads was crying as it when KABOOM, is honestly so messed up, lol
One of weezing's head always cries, atleast in the anime
Weezing is a depressed ball
"Sabrina requires extensive preparation"
In the nuzlocke I did I just gave my blastoise black glasses and bit the to death.
Just finished my first nuzloke about a week ago, since Sword was pretty easy the first time around. I lost 17 out of my 38 pokemon. Now, I’m doing a run where I can catch whatever I want; but I have to retire my current team after each gym badge.
“I hope that mankey lasts the whole run”
Me who already watch the video: oh no…
Technically...
Did MANNNKKKEE's ghost survive?

"I've never spent that much time in the game corner EVER."
Mikey, my first ever all-nighter was when I was 11... In the game corner of Fire Red, I had a p constant 777 streak. Nostalgic me wants to say it sucks that they got rid of the game corner, but 15-Years-Later-Rational-Adult me thinks maybe it was for the best 😂
Ahhh, fellow gambler.
So you too we’re given an addiction to gambling thanks to Pokémon.
I've never even used them in my games, never had the patience. But it feels like a missed opportunity, the game corner always had such good tms and in kanto they had pokemon. Kind of wish they had something like that in their place. But it's always kind of funny to see what the remakes replace the game corner with.
I find it so nice that Mickey is it always asking before reacting to Contant but then so funny that he’s like I’m gonna do it anyways
I have watched this a dozen times and it still makes Mikey more relatable. Each joke is well crafted and still hilarious after multiple views.
Anyone: *hates nuzlocke*
Mikey: "A man after my own heart"
Honestly I have considered doing one but then I remember my poor ralts in emerald getting crit by a whismer and how pissed I was. I freaking hate whismer. I am never doing a nuzlocke it would kill my last nerve lol
Mann
Its fine,it took me 8 attempt to get to clair in Soul silver and that kingdra murder my team
@@nerdydogwoof4580 whismer?
@@RickCore0H Well my pokemon was already like almost dead because I had just battled a trainer I think. Lol And I did not think a whismer could kill me
"When did his Gyarados learn Water Pulse"
"Oh he used a TM on it"
"woooooow"
Long time fan and subscriber michael, love your content to bits. Its also nice to meet a fellow over leveller.
Fun fact: at 21:12 the notes on the music staff are the first 4 notes of Megalovania
This is a possible reference to funny skeleton and how Alpharad tweeting "Megalovania!" when he is drunk. Thank you for coming to my ShedShout
"It sounds like a whole theater"
Nuzlocks are terrible but they bring more people together to both celebrate victories and mourn deaths
Or celebrate deaths and mourn victories in Brayden’s case.
@@michaelnelson1127 true,never listen to brayden
It's like a Greek tragedy
@@BG12sofiayes it is
Huh nuzlockes are awesome
The art style is like a manga but more gorgeous.
Also the noise that came out of mikey whenever alpha killed the Nidoran female was hilarious xD
Mandjtv: plays Pokémon alone
Alpharad: has a whole choir of friends
It’s so fun to see Mikey admirer other people because he’s been a highlight of my childhood and I love his content so much
the battle with sabrina was the most painful thing ive seen in a while
If Snorlax was a higher level he might have lived
@@RodimusMinor1987 no, he should've brought it out immediately and then Bodyslam it
What? Thats was 100 procent his own mistake
@@Hugm4lsecondaccount That's what he was talking about.
Best would be Lapras perish song it then switch it to Snorlax and heal stall it , I don't think Alakazam can kill Snorlax without calm mind boost
Ladies and Grunty Bois, we have found a shiny. Mikey without gamer goggles.
This isn't a shiny it is a regional form
This isn't a shiny it is a regional form
Bad shiny
Very bad shiny
It's a special event skin
bro i honestly cried on the art where it showed the ones who fell to alakazam looking down on them
i know you probably won't, but i'd love one completed nuzlocke from you. love this reaction, and rewatching it again!!
The guy who had been feeding him bad info in this run? He didn't realize that Sturdy was a terrible Ability before they buffed it somewhere later on. It only blocked Moves that always deal a 1 hit ko if it hits. It's only till later (Gen 5 I think?) when Sturdy gives you effectively a free Focus Sash at full HP like how Focus Sash works. Dropping the Pokemon who endured the otherwise fatal hit, down to 1 HP.
Ah so in Gen 3 it only blocks Horn Drill and Sheer Cold (OHKO moves), things like that?
@@lohchong4862 It seems so.
jeez it’s not that big of a deal he made a mistake
@@ishami5004 He sacrificed Onix on that mistake.
Actually, nearly every piece of advice he provided killed a Pokemon. Examples include: Onix, Transformr, Nidoran.
@@syweb2 Also not using Body Slam on something with garbage defense
"You're already desensitized to it?!"
Me, a Halo and Borderlands player: You're saying it's unusual?
15:45 oh my god its the song from Explorers! i love this slow version of it though.
Does anyone else love how Alpharad takes his share of blame and then explains the unforeseen event that usually also contributed, literally the definition of realizing you have a problem to get past the addiction of letting your mons die 🤣😂
I love how Mikey pointed to his gold play button when he was trying to plug his merch at the end...so apparently we can buy 1 million subscribers from Mikey instantly
If this dude just used dig with his arcanine, ALL OF THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.
Anyone who has battled Alakazam should know that it's PHYSICAL defense is really bad. I mean, dude was using CALM MIND to boost it's Sp Defense, and you go with a special attack like FLAMETHROWER?!?!?!
AND THAT BRAIDEN DUDE SHOULD BE EXCOMMUNICATED FOR HIS ADVICE
Well it depends on arcanine’s physical attack too
@@slowking8783 105 atk
No one asked
Does everyone here in the comments too forget the item VS SEEKER? DAMN FIRE RED IS THE EASIEST GAME TO OVERLEVEL.
Why use dig? Arcanine had bite! You know, a physical dark type move that's super effective against psychic types which Alakazam is and since it's physical and Alakazam's physical defense is hot garbage!
I completely agree that he shouldn't have used flamethrower, and yes bite has slightly list power than dig but it has the bonus of being super effective.
I think the poliwhirl was supposed to be called “sauveur “, as “savoir “ is the verb “to know” and not saviour.
*Savior
The damn fourth Gym badge is a play on
"Where is that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald" from Shadow the Hedgehog
Honestly if he just leveled up the snorlax he could've saved all his mons by body slamming that alakazam twice lol
Yep
And not listen to Brayden
@@crabnebula1816 Never listen to Brayden
Or he could have had actually leveled Pokemon lmao. Man knew this was a nuzlocke but still thought it was a good idea to go up against SABRINA OF ALL PEOPLE while severely underleveled. I struggle to see how this is the the same person who beat Gen 3 which just Mudkip.
@@evaporationofsanityex4383 well for one, he didn’t have brayden there.
About the pokeball rule, at the livestream he decided to restart even though he knew the rule

P*meow*y
I love how this guy was able to bounce back after so many mistakes because he was playing a really easy game. While his friends are extremely bad, I like how it provided humor, entertainment, and content and how he persevered and beat the nuzlocke in spite of his friends.

F.
this is a perfect example of why you skip no battles in a nuzlocke, over level for EVERY GYM, and research tf outta learnsets before making any decisions.
if there is one thing i have learned from watching Scott's Thoughts single pokemon speedruns, it's that it is VERY IMPORTANT to over level enough to outspeed the Alakazam. HIGHLY recommend his channel to anyone wanting some wonderful playthrough content.
Also, he woulda been better off with a single mon run with just his starter at this point. omg. I'm doing a single run with nidoking just to see how big it would get if i diodn't skip ANY battles, and omg it is so OP and I LOVE IT!!!
Watching this video was like experiencing torture all over, and can easily understand the confusion with sturdy as i thought the same thing when i tried a rock nuzlocke on soul silver with golem, where i thought sturdy would protect your pokemon from dying in one hit but that didn't happen until gen 5 as prior to gen 4 i finally realised last year that sturdy only protects pokemon from 1 hit ko moves being sheer cold, guillotine, fissure and horn drill, so was easy to mix up the 2 together back then
Speaking from personal experience here, snorlax could have swept sabrina’s entire gym practically. from the moment of capture. If it was level 34 going into the gym, he would have had no problems if he used it by itself.
He made a lot of mistakes with sabrina. Like using flamethrower with hotdog and letting alakazam get too powerful
@@phantomniteyou a yugioh fan

He should've named the rival "two-igi".
Luigi 2 has a more menacing aura to it
No
Yes
The duality of man
I think the reason why it was called S.S. rhydon is because the S.S. anne sank and rhydon can learn surf and it would sink to the bottom because it is rock/ground type
Omg, this guy used my favorite ever remix of Don't Ever Forget (aka I Don't Want to Say Goodbye) ever during the horribleness that was Sabrina's gym.

I don't quit until I wipe or If a Pokemon I needed for a specific battle dies and It's the only way to beat.
I quit my Sword nuzlocke bc my only solution to Kabu was my drizille, Cyrus. But he and 2 other pokemon died to Nessa. Literary almost anything else I had was weak to fire
