Can I Beat A Pokémon Nuzlocke With ONLY Six Spheals?

Rules used during this playthrough:
1. Fainting = Death
2. Can only use six Spheals received at the start of the game.
3. Each Spheal can only ever use their designated item (except Alpha who can use any item).
4. No items in battle (held items okay).
5. Play on "Set" battle mode.

A detail that probably wasn‘t noticed by many: the balls the Speals are in! The twins are in the same ball, Big Bertha in a heavy ball, team leader Alpha in a premier… Such magnificent attention to detail!

The animation. The mock-up documents. The grizzled soldier voice for the narration. The ‘cover story’ (how does a grown adult agent look like a ten year old boy? I love it.) The lore behind every choice and spheal. I knew from the moment I saw this thumbnail I’d adore this video but I still wasn’t prepared.

gotta admit Bertha's baby being named Nelson brought a tear to my eye

I was expecting this to be:
“haha funny man with 6 spheals becoming the Pokémon champion”

Instead I got: “Pokémon Gear: Spheal Eater”

> All the pokemon are spheals
> You still decided to have two of them in particular be twins
Truly incredible writing

Nuzlockes started as stories. The entire point was to get attached to these characters and detail all their best moments. In the shift to a fast-paced YouTube algorithm, the stories were often lost. A hardcore nuzlocke of one creator became almost interchangeable with that of another creator because there wasn’t enough time to get attached to the characters. A story needs conflict and stakes. When you treat the world as a real world, the stakes get so much higher.

Thank you for breaking the mold and returning nuzlockes to their roots. This new method of storytelling is yet another example of how you shift the paradigm.

Can’t wait to see what you do next!

Imagine an epilogue: Years had passed. The Retired Champion feels an uncontrollable urge to visit Shoal Cave again.

On the way, he notices a rainbow overhead, but overlooks it.

Waiting for him at Shoal Cave is a Walrein, wearing a Rocky Helmet.

Best. Pokémon. Story. Narrative. Ever. I shed a tear with Nelson's death. It actually was like watching a movie TTwTT 10/10 would recommend and watch again

[Religion]

The Twins being extra small and Bertha being extra large is just the cutest freaking detail.

[Madmankey]

New decree: Every Spheal in every nuzlocke ever must be named Nelson in honor of his heroic sacrifice

[EbinDesu]

This dude made me cry over a Pokemon fainting in battle. I love Nelson so much.. rest now sweet prince...

[liamaldrich]

This was by FAR the best pokemon challenge video ever made. The use of "Amazing Grace" during the shoal cave segment really put me in my feels.

Now we live in a world where Jaiden Animations is turning into a pokemon streamer and FlygonHG is making super entertaining storytelling with cool drawings

[oragewoods]

The fact that Bertha and Nelson were best friends in the training academy makes it even more heartwarming that she named her first son after him following his passing.

Why am I crying over 6 Spheal? WHY WAS I BAWLING WHEN THEY VISITED SHOAL CAVE?!? I absolutely loved this entire thing, from the story to the characters, to the gameplay itself. <3

[emilyrakov]

This is an absolutely legendary video. I put it on thinking "oh, I'll have it on in the background while I get ready for bed, I'll watch like 5 minutes and then maybe the rest in the morning!"

No. I watched it all in one sitting. I was that entranced. This was a genuinely moving story. I thought that the narrative was going to be dropped once Archie had been beaten, the idea changing to "Hey, let's beat the champion for fun!" But instead we got a twist villain Disney could never dream of.

The ending of "all power is terrible" got me. RIP Nelson.

[ChampionMahina]

Man, the loss of Nelson nearly had me in tears but Bertha's son being named in his honor took me over the edge. Wonderful storytelling, man. I really enjoyed this and ended up attached to these characters in just under 40 minutes, honestly really impressive.

[PedroHenrique-mkzi]

Despite Flygon being a fully evolved pokémon already, FlygonHG keep evolving his content.

That intro was awesome.

[sylvanhealer]

it's 2am, I've work in three hours. I didn't need to be literally crying over spheals. RIP Nelson. flawless story telling, the animation, each spheal personality, all of it, just 10/10 superb!

[cleverscreenname]

I’m actually emotional over Bertha naming her child after Nelson.
I subbed because of this.
Loved all the thoughtful details.
The animations were top notch and brought the story to life as well.
