were loving the nuzlock!! that being said any chance sometime after you beat the challange would you consider doing it again as a randomizer?!
Guys are doing a great job. So much freaking fun to watch and so funny lol
You’re doing a terrible job and I hope you never improve, cause I for one am having a BLAST
I love this playthrough. Arin is doing a great job. Laughs the whole way. Can only hope we get another 100 something episodes of this to enjoy like fire red!
I’m having a great time watching! I’m playing along on pearl. Use the VS. SEEKER to battle trainers you’ve already battled, it helps level your Pokémon up faster since trainer battles give more exp.
despite the team casualties, I am rooting for you guys to be able to actually beat Platinum. I genuinely look forward to this series and the frantic googling of information about pokemon each week!
Use the fast forward button more. I personally don’t mind. Plus it’d get us to the important parts faster
I absolutely love your nuslocke challenge one of my favorite series you guys are doing right now. I don’t usually watch nuslockes because they’re stressful but yours is just delightful 🤗
You're doing great bud👍
I’m literally rewatching it because I can’t get enough
i love this nuzlocke its giving sonic boom era series and its S tier
Im enjoying it i just wish it would upload a bit more frequently
It may not be a perfect run, but it's incredibly entertaining and I make sure to put in an edit on TV Tropes for it every week after an episode.
My favorite playthrough so far honestly
The Nuzlocke is one of my favourite series in a long time
You’re doing a good job at making an entertaining show and that’s really what matters 😅
🤣🤣🤣
Why’s trash taste here?
I'm SO worried that one of these weeks coming up is going to have the word "Finale" in the title. But honestly, that's part of the fun :D
I'd say it's going about how I would expect. I.e. not well. But god is it hilarious, please keep going as long as you can.
going well is a definite no but its very entertaining
I love the nuzlocke!
Is it going well..? oh Arin. No 💕. One ENORMOUS change would be if you would just read the move descriptions and maybe check your mons stats every once in a while. And just look more shit up like you guys do with every other game!
If it makes you guys feel any better, we didn't come into this Nuzlocke because we thought you'd be good at it. I didn't at least.
Ditto Oh.. and also me as well.
Great run? No. Great content? Oh fuck yes. I don't care how badly Arin fucks up, as long as they ACTUALLY COMMIT to finishing. I don't care if you get team wiped at the elite 4. You gotta start back up again. And, maybe go with chinchar when you do get team wiped. I'm normally not fond of fire types starters, but there's a ton of grass and water types in sinnoh, but ponyta, and chimchar are the ONLY fire types, unless platinum added some.
I never played Pokemon and hadn't heard of nuzlock until this play through. While I'm like Dan, and am sad when a team dies, I also love the chaos. I just wish you would have done whatever to actually save the game. The savestates make me nervous. But that's also part of the chaos, so alls well that ends tragically!
No whatever just keep going
Personally, I literally could not care less if you're good or not. I don't even watch the gameplay most of the time, I just show up to listen to you guys shoot the breeze for 45 minutes.
I'm having a good time watching you guys play! I know nuzlockes and no, you're doing everything "right", but that's part of the fun for me! Don't worry about performing optimally and just have fun!
No, but they can't all be bangers.
Are you doing a good job? Ehh, not really by some or most standards. Am I constantly entertained? Am I emotionally invested in Barb and the gang? Was I inspired to play my own nuzlocke as a result? Yes to all, and that’s what counts
I want to scream at the screen sometimes when Arin is about to do something stupid, but most of the time, the Nuzlocke is fun. Two criticisms: catch a Pokemon in all areas you can and use Bulbapedia instead of an AI grab for the available Pokemon in a Route.
I can’t stand when they’re getting WRONG information from the AI overviews 🙄 we all know those things have a terrible hit rate.
It just gives off such good vibes, it's so chill.
Yas queen! I don't mind when you bend the rules.
It's still worth completing, but I do tend to let some episodes build up and then binge them - Admittedly, not great for the algorithm.
if they stop the nuzlocke, I quit.
I am not a stickler about gameplay because I really only watch people play games and I'm no Pokemon expert so I am enjoying it! I like the cute pocket monsters and the banter, I'm not here to be a hater (and if you are, why, turn it off then lol)
I for one am absolutely loving it. Also there was exactly one moment where I was yelling at the screen shouting advice and I was 100% wrong about what you should do (since apparently you can't run from trainers, something I somehow never discovered) (I'm not much of a pokemon player to be fair)
Always here to watch the boys, especially when they don't fully know what they're doing.
I've been loving the nuzlock run. Maybe people who want a perfect or optimized run might not, but idk I just like seeing you guys have fun.
When is TCG and or supermarket simulator coming back?
move over old man, wednesday is all about POWERWASHAN now
LOVING it <3
It's the highlight of my weekends! <3
You guys are doing great. If I wanted to see a perfect Nuzlock, I would play it myself. I'm here because I love the fact that calm can turn to chaos so quickly, and your personalities make me feel like I have friends here with me while I'm working. Keep it up, crew! Let's see this through!
Look forward to these every weekend and honestly love the crash out when it falls apart, but really wanna see yall beat the game too
I think you guys are doing just fine with it! Its funn! And hilarious 💚🤣
I’ve been waiting 10 years for this!! Don’t stop :D
I'm enjoying the Grumplocke
I look forward to it every week, I love it!
Yes, I love it
you guys are doing great! so glad you guys are playing pokemon again
I mean probably objectively—no. But who cares?? I just like seeing you guys have fun! Nuzlockes are for tryhard pokemon fans who can’t just enjoy the game as is. And tbh it’s funny when Arin messes up and crashes out. If he’s having too bad of a time tho, no. But the crash outs are legendary gd
My husband really enjoys this series he looks forward to the new episodes every weekend.
I've been thoroughly enjoying the shit show XD
It’s been great! I watch for the funny™️, not because I wanna watch two guys be good at Pokémon, LMAO. Honestly, when there are really strict rules and the dudes stop having fun (read: Arin seems stressed), that’s where it gets less interesting/ fun to watch? And this isn’t a competitive game channel, so (while they do a genuinely good/ fun job!), the standard should NOT be perfection, because like…. Why would it be? If The Dudes™️ aren’t enjoying themselves, it kind of shows and stops being fun. So far, ALL the episodes have been really funny and good, so as long as they’re enjoying it, keep it up! When Arin or Dan starts having a bad time, that’s when it needs to end. The Aggressively Loud Pokémon People— the ones that I’m sure are the angriest?— are probably not the core fan base who enjoy the Sweet Vids™️, haha.
I think it's going quite well! It's easy to compare to other content creators and forget that you guys have not spent possibly thousands of hours playing Pokemon.
Good? Bad? Who cares! I’m just having so much fun 😂 I’m on the edge of my seat every day. Love that Arin is trying to keep it interesting for us. Love you bro!
You are doing poorly but it's been fun.
That prilosec mug is great.
It had a rocky start, but ive been enjoying watching it. I say you guys are doing great.
This is the series I look forward to the most of all the things I'm watching right now. I love it so much, I'd be sad to see it go!
I’ve watched Arin have no attention to detail, fight battles woefully unprepared, not play around the RNG that comes with this game and then not learn from his mistakes and keep brute forcing the game until he rages hilariously. Wouldn’t trade this for the world, I love our dads so much
Eh its been pretty boring
I don’t care how well you follow the made up rules to a made up game. I think the limitations that a nuzlocke set makes watching any Pokémon playthrough more interesting and it’s very entertaining to watch Arin try to negotiate his way through them. I’d be disappointed if you stopped doing it just because a bunch of people don’t like that you’re not being strict enough for them. Those people are welcome to watch literally any other nuzlocke. I’m here for the chaos and the lols.
It is something very fun to see y'all play a long game like this again. I feel like with longer plays we get to become invested in the game and the journey and something like a nuzlocke gives y'all stakes too and that leads to y'all finding it easier to "lock in" because you can't hit an undo button when a Pokemon dies. I love the series and I think that the loose nuzlocke format does leave itself open to a "real" nuzlocke later with a game like Pokemon Emerald which I don't believe y'all have played yet (possibly with a referee to make sure y'all keep all the rules straight and enforced?)
Wait?! You guys were trying to do a 'Good' nuzloke?! What even is that? Never seen a 'good' one before. Yours is just entertaining! I'm here for the entertainment and random dialogue, the heartbreak, the frustration, the laughs, tears and everything Game Grumps. SoPlease!, with a cherry on top, continue the nuzloke!
No earthly idea. Never played a single Pokemon game... But I look forward to it every Saturday and Sunday. Soooo...I think you're doing a tremendous job!
Not really, I wouldn't even call this a Nuzlocke. But I am enjoying watching Arin slowly fall down the stairs on his Challenge Run.
It's not even a nuzlocke at this point but we wouldn't have it any other way. Keep it going Arin "Falls Ass Backwards Into Victory" Hanson
R.O.W.E is one with a built in Randomizer and all the pokemon and features of later games but without any linearity, so that might be fun to see: www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokemon-r-o-w-e-2-0-an-open-world-version-of-pok%C3%A9mon-emerald-gen-9-16-badges-sevii-islands-following-pok%C3%A9mon-costumes-and-much-more.442592/
It's one of the worst Nuzlocke runs I've ever seen and thats exactly why I love it. Arin has no idea what he's doing and it keeps the tension so high, it's like watching a thriller
I love this series but you guys seriously need to continue Deltarune
second that, preferably with at least SOME refreshers on what the heck is going on around there
WE LOVE IT, DON'T STOP! Now that I've said that... No! You are doing a not great job and that's what we want/expect. I mean that in the most loving way :D please keep it up and don't listen to the haters. A gentle nudge to avoid hours of trying to do something you can't might not be a terrible idea... but idk, sometimes that's got the biggest payoff.
If Dan can learn to use seribii or bulbapedia then things can go much smoother. But I know that is a very tall ask. Arin also needs to learn that offensively, STAB damage isnt everything. Defensively, it means everything. Also, doing research before exploring new routes and towns and gyms is NOT against the rules. You can do as much research as you want!! You SHOULD do as much research as possible I know, it is a lot to ask for a show like this
It has definitely kept me excited for every drop. Cant miss it
You’re perfect, never change!
You’re killing it Arin! And by “it” I mean most of your Pokémon
MORE
The Power. Speed. And Determination that Arin has shown in not completely throwing in the towel is pretty amazing
Hands down one of my favorite series. I’ve been saving videos for my lunch when I can really lock in; I don’t wanna miss any of it!
It's one of my favorite recent series
I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for more crits! Hilarious as ever 🤙🏾
I’m having a blast watching!
I’ve been so enjoying it! It has an energy, and chaos that I love and with enough run time/mindlessness for things to get off topic. Please keep going!
If i wanted expert Pokémon gameplay I wouldn't be here
Absofuckinglutely NOT. But that's what I'm here for. Keep it up boys 👍This series has been everything I hoped it would be.
Been waiting for this for nearly a DECADE!! So excited for the highs and lows of this soon-to-be Grumps classic 😁 It's one of the most watched Nuzlockes on YouTube! Some tips: 1. Make a list of every route/area with an entry banner and mark off the ones you've caught a Pokémon in. Or use Nuzlocke Tracker. 2. Catch a Staravia. Fly will cut down on travel time. 3. Offscreen level grinding is fine! I don't speak for everyone, but most would probably agree 4. Stock. Your. Potions. 5. Use Bulbapedia or Serebii for encounter tables. The AI summaries are trash. Don't be a clanker. 6. Enjoy it!! Don't worry too much about doing it "correctly." We're here for goofs and gaffs! Love you guys 🧡💙🫶🏻
The worst attempt of a Nuzlocke I’ve ever seen, the most hilarious Nuzlocke I’ve ever watched
I would say no. The nuzzlock is meh.
You’re doing great Grumps 🥹 it’s been very very fun!
Umm you tried 😅
Is it entertaining? YES!
I was honestly expecting Arin to get a third entire team killed at the third gym.
I'll watch you guys play anything but watching your nuzlock got me back into playing pokemon games after a very long time
I say yes, I would just like the boys to look up more information on the Pokemon they can catch. Like bidoof as an HM only mon, or speeding up and just running around to get friendship up, etc.
Great series. Just curious, is it against Nuzlocke to use escape rope? Definitely could have come in handy in some spots
The best part of Grunklmons are the guys just chatting in between the important stuff and while leveling up as well as Donny referencing Smokemon & Arnold forgetting Psychic is weak to Bug. Who cares, play Pokopia and create a Buy & Leave/Diarrhealand island. :3
I absolutely love this series
It’s Pokémon, the only right way to play it is your way.
It feels like a middle ground that doesn't work gameplay wise. Kind of like a Lazy Nuzlocke. I think it would be better to either go for a complete nuzlocke or to play normally. Grumping on point regardless!
No, but isn't that why we watch Game Grumps? Jokes that are 5 months past their expiration date and Arnold failing 20 times in the same episode so we've made no progress? It's the Game Grumps way! And what people should expect.
Jokes aside, everyone fails their first Nuzloc over and over again. I'm having fun watching it.
Is it the best nuzlocke I've ever seen ? No but this is exactly the content I look forward watching every weekend
Theyre following the rules to the challenge so yeah, that counts as a good job to me. But what's better is the goofs and gaffs and two bros hanging out
It's a lot of fun however you're doing good or bad it's just great fun to watch
I've never been on the edge of my seat this much during a Games Grumps playthrough, wondering who will live and who will die. It's like Game of Thrones, but cute. 11/10 cinematic experience, please continue.
I'm about 10 episodes behind but I'm enjoying watching. Especially since you guys aren't the die hard pokemon nuzlockers so it's expected to not be able to speed run it like they can.
Doesn’t really matter, I think most of us watch for the jokes and bits! Keep ‘em coming Arnold! 100+ episodes!! (you should keep the priority +1 moves🙏aqua jet is cracked for Bob)
I'm enjoying watching the Nuzlocke runs. Definitely not playing how I would play, but that's part of the fun of watching someone else. Getting some good bits out of it at any rate, so please keep it up.
Keep the same energy and I’ll love whatever you guys do!
I'd say you're doing well enough. Could be better, could be worse, y'know?
Are you doing a good job at Nuzlocke? No. No you aren't. Is that the reason I am glued to the screen? Yes. Yes it is. I am here for the chaos. Bring it on!
All I want to see is one episode with Alpharad or PChal sidelining, purely for the comedy. Otherwise, since when have Grump fans ever came to watch actual gameplay strategy 😂
It’s going great, I wish it was releasing more often! It’s a fresh take from a normal nuzlocke. It’s chaotic and funny and I’m here for it!
Depends on what you mean by ‘good job.’ I’d watch forever, so I’ll say absolutely.
Battle wise? Yeah, kinda. Logic wise? No, but I sorta love it, ngl
Love the grumplocke
oh, you're catastrophic at the Nuzlocke thing, but in an incredibly unique, fun way that's why it's the *Grumplocke*, which you're the best at, hands down. Leaf types, bird types, onixes and psychic-psyduck line and all♡ P.S. if you guys enjoy this enough and it gets enough love, it could be really exciting to see you do a pokemon romhack or even a randomizer in the future. Someone should tell Dan about Zelda randomizers too!
-There's an app called Pokemon randomizer which gives you the capability to evolve trade-evolve Pokemon. I don't know if it'll retroactively work for a game you've already started, but worth taking a look into. -Keep a Pokemon Type chart/poster in the room. -Read the description to every Pokemon move, don't just look at the Power. If an opponent plays a move you don't recognize or know the effect of, take the time to learn it. A move like Bide will absolutely obliterate you if you don't realize that it's essentially dealing double the damage you give it. -Look into the berries. The Razz Berry makes it easier to catch Pokemon, some berries will automatically heal damaged Pokemon, and there are berries that negate super-effective Type damages. They will absolutely save you. -It's worth getting an NPC guide to learn which NPC to talk to to get certain items. -You can totally fast forward through low-level grinds. It doesn't bother us, but you can just lower the volume if you're that concerned. -Also, sillier names are better. The running joke of making all the names sound kind of the same just makes it hard to distinguish between Pokemon. (Except Barb. Barb is perfect.)
I think you are doing fine! In fact I would probably do worse at this and I admire you guys really! I think that it is so much better to watch someone who isn't perfect at games and screws up like other people. It actually makes me feel better that okay well I'm not the only one that struggled with that part! So keep being you and have fun! I am enjoying these!🥰
You haven’t done it in a while but every time you debuff a Pokemon that’s already significantly weaker than you, I die inside
I recommend seeing if your emulator has a way to override trade evos so you could actually get an Alakazam or a Gengar
My husband and I watch Game Grumps to see y'all! No matter what you play. If you're having fun, then so are we (and we have fun when you're raging too...sorry).
Points for progress, you haven't reset in a while and thats the only thing that matters.
You're doing better on your nuzlocke than i am on mine! 😭
It'd be really nice if you hacked in rare candies and set a level cap per gym
This has been the comfort let's play series that I've needed this year. Love this series so much!!
It's genuinely the play through I look forward to the most! I'm not looking for a serious nuzlocke. If I were it wouldn't be game grumps.
The nuzlocke has been a pleasure to watch, don't let the haters get you guys down.
It wouldn't be a very fun nuzlocke to watch if no one EVER dies, love the series!
Definitely double check Pokemon stats and don't trust Google AI (or possible preconceptions). Otherwise you guys are doing great!
I love it so much that I get sad thinking about when it’ll be over. I love seeing you both learn about Pokémon :D Both of your reactions to new Pokémon are my favorite.
The whole playthrough has big "just playing pokemon with my bud" vibes, no sweaty try hard energy and I'm 100% here for it
The only thing I recommend is that you get your information from Serebii, Pokémon Database or Bulbapedia. Google's AI is unreliable.
My favorite nuzlocke run ever, I don't know pokemon mechanics but I'm thoroughly entertained by the boys playing their way!
I love this series so much, PLEASEEEEE keep doing it!
Doing great you two.
hey, what matters is that you're having fun (I think?)! Love ya!
Genuinely never did a Nuzlocke run in my life until this series despite knowing of them and liking the idea. I am starting with FireRed and moving through the series, hopefully, and it's a fun new way to enjoy a series of games I've played throughout my life. So I definitely love it and hope it continues!
Dudes you aren't good at REGULAR Pokémon. Frankly I'd rather see you guys play like a randomizer maybe one of them romhacks with all 1025 Pokémon in gen 3
If the entire team dies on a gym leader again I'll lose my mind and shit, but right now it's lots of fun. Edit: yes, I'll shit my pants as I lose my mind.
You guys are doing ... Great! I am really enjoying the playthrough and genuinely look forward to more each week!
I'm having the time of my life watching you struggle and fail and laugh and fart, so pleaaaase keep this going ♥️
I am currently catching up and honestly, I am having the time of my life. It has the game grump stamp of approval with Arin's antics and hubris while Dan searches for information and walk-throughs. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I’m throughly enjoying these when they come out and look forward to them
Dan carries
Totally should have Nuzlocke 'Let's Go Eevee / Pikachu'
I honestly don't care how good you are at Nuzlocke or Pokémon or any game really. I'm here for the funny hahas. If I want serious diligent playthrough of a game, I watch another creator. But if I want to laugh to tear at dick jokes, fart jokes, weird voices and noises? Hell yeah I'm strapped in. Give me your silliest and most shameful of bits.
Hell yeah. Love you boys ❤️
The Pokémon misinformation makes me die a little inside, but I enjoy watching you guys genuinely try and get through it the best yall can. And make us laugh along the way. Keep it up!
For a homebrew nuzlocke it's absolutely fantastic imo
Ever since we got the Midwestern crew, things have been going a hell of a lot smoother. Either way, I've been enjoying it immensely!
This kind of gameplay is exactly what I look for in a game grumps video - my only suggestion is to hack in rare candies instead of leveling up the old fashioned way (even the pro nuzlockers use rare candy hacks!)
So far it's the front runner for my favorite new series.
Way better than what I could do
I’m being genuinely honest, I have no idea how you’re making it to Cynthia without cheating. Let alone beating her. That being said, I’m more hyped to be proven wrong so keep it up 💪🏽
Is it a professional PokeTuber Nuzlocke? No, but it's a blast to watch and join on the journey. And that's all that matters. If someone wants to watch a hard-core nuzlocke, there's plenty of people out there that do them. But we watch for the Game Grumps Nuzlocke!
You’re doing great, sweeties
You guys are making it fun and hilarious so I would consider that a good job. It's a coin flip between funny and infuriating whenever Arin passionately insists on his knowledge of pokemon being right even after Dan reads the information to him(come on man, Sylveon?) but I don't go to GG for pokemon knowledge, I go because they make me laugh. It's just that SOMETIMES, what makes me laugh is how little they know about pokemon and the shenanigans that ensue as a result of it.
I love it! Me and my wife tune in every weekend to yell at the screen, laugh our asses off, and discuss what we would do differently and better. Do not stop it is great
i love the commitment!! NGL Arin has always been really bad at Pokemon, but i try to give y'all a break cause ik the show makes ur brains less good 😊 keep it upppp i wanna see Aaron lose his shit after beating the elite four and then dieing to Cynthia.
Lovingly, no. 😌 But it’s a blast to watch, and that’s the man thing that matters!!
You're doing better than I would
It's been really fun to watch and I look forward to it! However, fast forwarding for grinding does not bother me in the slightest, so don't be afraid to!
You're doing amazing, sweetie.gif
I feel bad how hard the comments are on Arin. Pokémon fans don’t realize just how much knowledge there is to learn in these games. And how easy it is to miss/misunderstand. To them it’s obvious because they played rhe hell out of the game and paid attention but to casual fans or ones with attention issues it’s not. As someone who’s only passively into the series, there’s tons of stuff Arin does that I could easily see myself doing. BUT Arin is particularly bad at retaining things on the show, and learning from mistakes, so I get where it’s coming from.
I love the Grumplocke because it is different experience than any other youtuber playing a Nuzlocke. I like to watch The Grumps playing it, I like reading peoples reactions to The Grumps playing it, and to be honest, I like to bet against The Grumps and be proven wrong!
I think there is 2 camps, people who just wanna see good content (which I fall into) and people who want to see good nuzlock runs. Is it good content? Absolutely, I think it’s funny as hell and the Pokémon dying in preventable ways is why I love this channel. I think the folks that bleed nuzlock are annoyed by it. That being said I’m pretty confused by those folks. Did they expect competent hardcore nuzlock videos? If so why? It would appear some feel that unless the guys have an encyclopedic knowledge of Pokémon they shouldn’t play. Which is weirdo behaviour. Chill.
More!
Anyone who is upset that the boys "aren't doing it right" doesn't understand the point behind Game Grumps.
I love the nuzlocke, it hits the right amount of enjoying watching a playthrough but has the occasional downtime where we just get casual conversation and that's always entertaining. Also poison barb is my new favorite character.
(also side note - tried to get the consume prilosec mug and it's either immediately sold out again or isn't updated yet!)
Good job or bad job, i’m having a good time watching!
I do believe you are trying your best lol
I fucking love this series! I'm so glad ya'll are playing Pokémon again!
Yes it is very entertaining and that is what is important:)
The Nuzlocke run is by far one of my favorite things you guys have done in a very long time. I have a blast with each episode!
Yes. Please keep going. I love this.
Just remember to HEAL before you go to a gym and I think you’re okay. Been having fun watching it
No, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I like Blind Nuzlockes too😁
Loving every episode!
It’s really fun comparing your play through to Jaden’s cause her’s is like a smooth thought out story and Grumplocke is like you’ve had to rewrite the script five times
Huge Pokémon fan here: this is one of the runs of all time. Definitely entertaining and will absolutely watch every episode (even the one where Arin goes berserk when he figures out he can’t get an Umbreon for fumbling the save file)
It's painful to watch, but why else am I actually here?
Objectively speaking, no. Doesn't mean it's not fun to watch! I'm here for you guys, man. There's plenty of "competent" Nuzlockers out there, if really intensely strategic gameplay were what I was after. As long as y'all are still having fun with it, I'll keep tuning in.
No, but if I needed expert gaming I wouldn't still be here. (but seriously, keep checking bulbapedia, the boys are both wrong a lot and it's all so easy to check)
I think it depends on your standards. to an experienced nuzlocker, probably not, but you're still making progress so whatever. most of the frustrated comments I see are directed at arin and gemini saying things that are wrong
Lol I watch it for the most chaotic version. Sure, I could watch one where someone knows all the stats and flys through it orrrrr I can watch y'all scream about it. So noo, but like in the best way!
Considering you’ve lost more runs than badges earned, the answer should be no. But then also considering how much it pleases me among many to watch your pain and suffering. I must say yes. Dance for me, my virtual jesters. Dance.
The nuzlocke is the highlight of my week. I look forward to watching it and reacting to it with my friend. It doesn't bother me if you're making mistakes at Pokemon or not, it's just fun to watch and listen to you guys chat in these long series. I'm glad you're doing this playthrough and don't let gatekeepers stop you with their whining
I’ve never watched a nuzlocke let’s play before, so I can’t say one way or another if it’s being done “correctly.” I certainly am enjoying it and really look forward to the weekend to see the new episodes. The only thing I would change is having another person in the room to look up the questions Arin had like “what level does a pokemon evolve” or “what pokemon can be caught on this route,” because the boys keep trusting the google AI for answers and it’s giving them the wrong info most of the time.
I look forward to every new set of episodes
I don’t expect pro level gameplay so I mostly just enjoy it for Danny and Arnold goofin and gaffin, if I want a serious nuzlocke I’d probably just look up one or try it myself so I say great job for what I’m expecting in a game grumps nuzlocke lol
It is wildly entertaining to watch, I don’t care if they are doing it well or not.
I couldn't watch after the first episode it was just too hard to. I love you guys but it was just driving me crazy...
i’m loving it! genuinely super happy when there’s a new ep
Yes. I see you guys play and it makes me happy.
The playthrough is a lot of fun to watch, so you're doing fine in my book! But I don't really care about y'all "playing it perfectly" or something like that anyway. It's entertaining, you're doing your own thing and that's what counts for me.
Not me thinking it was a new episode 💔
But for real, you guys are doing, not great but its fun as hell watching and listening to you! Definitely reccomend using xp candies to help up your pokemon levels
You’re doing fine and it’s really entertaining! Keep it up!
As someone who has never played Pokémon, I am loving this play through I am avoiding the YT comments because it became quickly apparent people had STRONG opinions on the "right" way to do it, but forget all of that. Love this series, please don't let the naysayers kill it!
No. Absolutely not. But you're killing it at being entertaining
If the measure of success is how well you're entertaining the audience, absolutely!! If it's how well the game is going, well, you've recovered from a total party wipe, so it could be worse!
i actually gave up on watching this series because youre getting the most basic facts about pokemon wrong and it makes me too angry. i saw the thumbnail and title for this episode and cringed in pain. why did you even do this playthrough if you dont know shit about pokemon or nuzlockes.
The description explains it perfectly xD But yes it's very entertaining and i would absolutely love to see more of this :D
I think you're doing great.
No. And I wouldn't have it any other way. <3
Define good job 😅 , bad decisions yes, but overall great!
I think it is fun!
No not at all. Which is why it’s so much fun
As good as any 9 year old would be doing and I am here for it!!! 🩵 The spirit is great.
I really am enjoying the series personally but im not invested in Pokémon as a franchise so it's probably an easier watch for me
I LOVE the nuzlocke playthrough.
Ha ha ha…nooo no no, lord no…but I *am* having fun watching it and really, that’s what matters
I'm enjoying it. I think people need to chill out and enjoy the ride instead of focusing on a destination.
Exactly this. It is funny to see people fume in the comments though, when they don't do the run EXACTLY how the commenter wants it done
Absolutely not but I'm loving the series anyway. It's always a good time whenever you're doing Pokemon.
Yes, I really enjoy it! The success and the failures. Makes the episodes more exciting to watch!
It's eye opening to learn that not everyone has the instinctual knowledge I have when it comes to type match ups. It is however very, very fun
I will die if you stop the nuzlock (no I won't answer your question)
I love these episodes, please keep going
You're doing just great and we're all so proud of you guys!!
Who cares about doing it right, is that always how it’s been with any game? Just do you, it’s more entertaining that way!!
This is the most stressed I’ve been watching a LP in a long time. Don’t change a thing.
No, but also, yes?
Its been a lot of fun so far!
*michaeljacksoneatingpopcorn.gif* I wouldn’t mind seeing Arin abuse the fast forward button more, but that’s just me
Its not against the rules!
As long as you're having fun 😊
You're not but If you stop, I will eat your pelvis
Hey we're having fun, and that's what really matters
I mean, the fact you're still going is impressive tbh
Quantifiably no.
Yessss! you guys are doing a great job. I’ve been waiting for you to do Pokémon again since firered.
Doing a good job? No. Is it entertaining as fuck? Incredibly so.
idc whether you guys are the best or doing absolute dogshit i’m having a great time either way 🥰
You're trying your best, and that's what matters! Hahaha
I look forward to each weekend update.
Guys use rare candies so theres less grinding, theres also an awesome website called nuzlocke tracker so you dont miss any catches
Peter...what is this?
Arin needs a gen 4 type chart.
I second this!
I don’t know about a good job but I’m having a lot of fun!
Marvelous job, lads!
It’s… entertaining at least lol
