      Friendship evolutions are not a problem for me, as long as I am able to play at the proper time of day for those Pokemon to evolve and keep them from fainting so their friendship does not lower. I was able to evolve Riolu into Lucario in Black 2 at around low to mid-level 20s

      I used Roserade on my Platinum team (just a casual playthrough, not a Nuzlocke). But I caught it as a Budew on Route 204. Yes, it took a while to get a Roselia due to the friendship evolution mechanic, but I never regretted using it.

  • @CrowMan434

    Let me tell you the story about my Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke :-
    The start was great I didn't lose a single pokemon until reaching 3rd Gym but I lost my Machop due to poisoning.
    But things were great my team was kicking everything in thier way until an incident happened at Iron Island.
    While training my (Terraspin) the Torterra he missed a Razor Leaf on a Wild Graveler and that monster used Self-Destruct that move critted and my Torterra died.
    That was sad my starter died due to a stupid crit.
    But then I added a Budew to replace him I spend thousand of poke-dollars to increase it's friendship and somehow it also died.
    My cute Budew died.
    Bodies are starting to pile up in the Grave Box.
    But then I started grinding my team and they again they became really powerful but a mistake of my caused me another loss.
    While battling Cyrus at Veilstone HQ I made a stupid decision to put my (Starman) the Staraptor against Cyrus's Honchkrow and that mean thing landed a crit Drill Peck on my Staraptor and killed it.
    It was a tanky flying type and I lost it.
    4 bodies in the box and now I'm mad.
    Then I decided that's enough I spendid to much time on grinding added a new flying member (Batman) the Zubat and evolved it to a Crobat.
    I also added a Snorunt and evolved it into a Froslass.
    I also caught Giratina with the Masterball.
    And somehow miraculously I managed to made it through the victory road without any loss.
    I catch up some nice TMs and battled my rival for the last time.
    And here I was with my team :-
    (Lux) the Luxray
    (Jaiden) the Gastrodon
    (Blade) the Gallade
    (Big Chill) the Froslass
    (Batman) the Crobat
    (Jurryrig) the Giratina.
    First member of the Elite Four :-
    Aaron was easy but his Scizor was a threat and none of my Pokemon was able to learn the move Flamethrower so my I send my Luxray to hit him as hard with the thunderbolt and that steelbug hung on 1-2 hp and killed my Luxray with a crit X-Scissors.(I am a stupid I should've send Giratina there.(My Electric Lion died )
    So one loss
    2nd Member of the Elite four :-
    Bertha was easy my Gastrodon and Gallade sweep through her team I'm glad I teach him Leaf Blade.
    3rd member of the Elite Four :-
    Flint seems easy but if only you don't let him use the sunny day and his Houndoom landed a Sunny Day my Gastrodon killed it with earthquake but the next turn his Rapidash hit it with a quad effective Solarbeam and due to the sunny day that move hit at the first try boom(I lost my tankiest Pokemon the one who helped me with so many battles). But somehow I managed to pull through.
    Fourth member of the elite four :-
    Lucian doesn't seems a threat but his Psychic types are a pain and I lost my Luxray who knew Crunch.
    And I also did a stupid switch out mistake there and my Crobat died to Espeon's Psychic. (Batman died :'-_-': ).
    I then somehow defeat him with Gallade and Giratina.
    Now for the Champion Battle :-
    Cynthia awaits me there with her powerful bulkier and Nuzlocke ender Pokemons.
    And I'm with only three of my Pokemons left Gallade, Froslass and Giratina.
    I was worried and kinda sad.
    I started up with my Gallade to hit her Spiritomb with Leaf Blade cuz other two of my team member are weak to ghost type attacks surprisingly Gallade is also weak to Ghost type moves but he hung there and killed that Spiritomb with two Leaf Blades.
    Then she sent out her Togekiss and I sent out My Froslass I was happy that it's part Ghost type so it wouldn't get hurt by Aura Sphere but Air Slash has a high critical hit ratio and my Froslass hung in there and defeated it with two Ice Beams.
    Next she sent out her Lucario I thought I should send my Giratina but her Lucario knows Dragon Pulse so I sent in my Gallade healed him and landed a Close Combat Lucario is out.
    Then it was time for her Monster her ace Pokemon the "Garchomp" I was so afraid of him I knew from the beginning that this thing is the potential threat to end my Nuzlocke the only reason why I caught an Ice type is because I wanted to counter it then I searched up on my mobile to see his movesets and my eyes catches the attention of a google poppup that said Weavile and Froslass are good and faster pokemon to defeat her Garchomp I instantly sent my Froslass there used the Ice Beam and it one shotted that freak :).
    I can't believe all my hardwork really paid of.
    Hopes are rising again I may win this.
    Then she sent in her Milotic which my Gallade killed with two Leaf Blades.
    And her Roserade died to Ice Beam of my Froslass.
    I won my Platinum Nuzlocke in my first run :).

      The CZcams landscape in 2016 was very critical of CZcams channels who just made 10 minute videos filled with...well, filler. Because of those channels growing big and becoming controversial, any youtuber who uploaded a 10 minute video would be piled up on by the comment section. When you look at the massive amount of time Michael was gone (for what was seemingly meaningless content, although it was kind of funny), and the CZcams landscape at the time, it's a little bit more understandable.

    I can definitely relate to this- I was doing a Pokemon Sword Nuzlocke a few weeks ago and seriously all of Pokemon died and eventually since I loved them so much, I quit the Nuzlocke and continued the game normally so...
    I loved watching this though! :D

      @kaelanmcalpine2011 Před 2 lety +1

      I think I remembered doing the same thing, only I played it more like a MegaTen game + Nuzlocke by having temporary members meant for specific gyms that would be boxed later. Shellos was meant to be my counter for Kabu and while it was a great one, it didn't quite make it to the end by dying from a critted Bug Bite from Centiskorch. I stopped shortly after his gym since I gave up looking for a good counter for Bea (even though I already had a Corvisquire) and just got bored.
      I eventually came back with more of just a standard themed team of musicians, including naming them all of famous musicians from the U.K. (Except Obstagoon since Gene Simmons is American), even my Grimmsnarl who isn't music based but got the best name, Cronos.

  • @mapleleafgaming8615
    @mapleleafgaming8615 Před 2 lety +6

    20:33 I feel your pain. I was doing a Nuzlocke of Omega Ruby and was about to go to the elite four. I had no super effective moves against Phoebe's ghost Pokemon other than Banette and Grumpig (I taught Grumpig shadow ball). So I prepare by buying protein and carbos (Which raise attack and speed stats of a Pokemon) to give to Banette. I also gave it Banettite so it could do even more damage. My plan was to sweep through her entire team. Everything goes well until she uses Sabelye, which lived on like 10HP from my shadow claw, and ended up killing it with foul play. It went downhill and I lost my Crobat as well from Dusknoir's thunder punch because I accidentally using a full restore on an Agron with full HP instead of switching into it. I went on only to lose to Steven's Metagross as his last Pokemon.

    Dunsparce will forever be my archenemy because it kill all but one of my Pokémon using roll out. This was my first nuzlocke and happened just before the second gym battle in white 2.

    Me- **sobbing and crying at the same time** I've only done one Nuzlocke before and my starter made it all the way to the end. So I cannot imagine how much it hurts to lose your starter and I don't want to. But this was hilarious to me but also made me feel horrible for you.

      I just like the idea that a person's connection with their starter is supposed to be their strongest connection. Like it's the Pokemon that took the first steps with you on your journey. It's the one you battled alongside with to catch more Pokemon. It's a loyal companion, perhaps even your most loyal. It's fine if not everyone feels the same way. But to me a starter is my most cherished partner through battles, trials, and tribulation. But that's just how it is for me you know? Especially when it comes to Nuzlockes where the stakes are higher. I'd be devastated to lose my starter, but I also wouldn't pc it because I feel like it should be the leader of the team until the bitter end, because a cherished partner sticks together with their cherished partner until the end.

      The only time I have ever had my starter survive, it came at the cost of literally every other Pokemon I ever trained.
      I’m okay with my starter dying.
