Calling your Cofagrigus "Uncle Ben" is one of the funniest things I've see in the channel. Pure comedy.
-
THE OPENING. the talent. The perfect pitch. The majesty. I am already loving this.
-
Just read another comment saying this, but I always look forward to your videos. There’s a ton of channels who do this type of content but you do it the best. I don’t know what it is about your videos but they’re the best ones in this genre.
-
"Critical hits with Liepard are... inevitable" I understood that reference!
-
There are so many channels that do basically this exact same thing but something about yours is always the most entertaining, I dont know if its the editing, the pacing, or the commentary but I'm always most excited for your uploads!
-
That opening tho. We need more of that for every snaplocke
-
Really cant stop binging your channel, so many chill and interesting challenges done with skill, just thought I should comment after watching and enjoying so much!
-
I feel like a cool idea for a hardcore nuzlocke in any gen, especially 5, could be to do an "N's nuzlocke". You can only use up the last 6 pokemon you caught, and must catch a pokemon in each new area available after each badge. This way your team shuffles every gym badge / E4.
-
I love the snaplockes for the same reason as the trashlockes - it means that whilst the game isn’t impossible, it’s challenging based on the way you use this under-utilised mons. Probably the coolest part is all the synergies you accidentally find and the balancing quirks the devs make to counter godawful stats. I’d love to see a more traditionally easy game like ORAS with this ruleset as well - the BDSP one was great
-
Aight naming Cofagrigus Uncle Ben was really messed up LOL Excellent deathless run, I wasn’t expecting Klang of all things to do solid work. Shows how great Eviolite really elevated NFEs
-
32:26 - Funny as that is, Memory Link in the next game reveals that they got their butts handed to them by the Shadow Triad en route to N’s Castle so they had to stay home and cope.
-
I actually really like the rival fights. It feels enjoyable to be able to battle the rivals so often, then again I feel like gen 6 deserved the most of them.
-
the opening, the N ferris wheel… i swear the cinematic masterpieces that are your nuzlockes get better each time!
-
The comment on the Vanillite is always interesting considering gen 1 is also full of this. Pile of sludge, big pile of sludge, pokeball, pokeball upside down. Every gen has these basic pokemon.
-
I really like how these snaplockes give you more appreciation for some otherwise forgettable pokemon, would love to see more. I think gen 7 or gen 3 would be the best fits.
-
No one comes CLOSE to how entertaining you make these runs. Favorite Pokémon content creator and it's not even close.
-
FlygonHG: And now for the most intimate moment in Pokemon's 25 year history Me, whose heart still goes dokidoki a bit just remembering the ferris wheel scene: oh no, I'm about to be roasted
-
Honestly, the choice of mons you were left with had some really decent mons in it. Lots of underrated bulky mons such as Garbodor and Mandibuzz. Not saying it won’t be, or wasn’t, difficult its just interesting to see what mons people overlooked.
-
Congratulations on the deathless run, this was such an impressive (and hilarious) playthrough!
-
I would love to see a “double” snaplocke, where you ban 75% of the eligible encounters
