Correction: at 2:01 we addressed imablisy with incorrect pronouns, they go by they/them. We try to default to they/them when we're not sure and this one simply slipped through the cracks during the edit. No offense or harm was meant by this and I apologize for the mistake.

What I think is admirable is how close the human run is to the TAS run.

Being within 10 minutes is crazy good.

[kheireddineattala]

Jan remembering his channel called is called PokemonChallenges and not Nuzlockes: Hmmm I think I have an idea

[maybedonn]

Really like Jan expanding his content a bit, good shit

[De_Pieremegoggel]

HM-ployees is so much friendlier than that other term we use sometimes 😅

[stickman]

I think Smallant did a video where he played diamond or something with the worst possible luck. So every enemy crits, all non-100% accurate moves for you will always miss while every move will hit with the enemy. Always hit yourself in confusion, freeze and sleep lasts for the longest possible, etc. It would be super interesting to see you try and nuzlocke any game like this.

Yo, didn’t realize that Charlie had a speed run record!

[MercilWercil]

Huge fan of these informational type videos! Would love to see something detailed about how enemy AI works and how to manipulate it

[competitively]

All of this theorycrafting makes me want to see a TAS of emerald kaizo. Although it would probably take a million years to theorycraft perfectly so it’s impossible and never going to happen.

8:00 minor correction: Lorelei's Cloyster could also be killed by any of the four guaranteed OHKO moves (Horn Drill, Fissure, Sheer Cold, Guillotine). They don't work on her Slowbro or Lapras because Clefable is underleveled

[pacifictris]

Wie Jan für seine Werbung einfach Julien vom JBB genommen hat. xD

[flameking]

Really Respecting the Megaman Battle Network OST in the background. Classy.

[Wrizzla]

Hahahaha, Julien in your Sponsor bit got me good 😂😂

Great Video!

[emlyashlrou]

Given the sheer advantage of the TAS strat, I'm incredibly impressed in the speedrunner for coming as close as he did.

[KeiruKeiru]

That Megaman Battle Network 3 music, paired with the TAS run explanation. Chef's kiss👌

[cad]

I'm not sure a TAS+Nuzlocke makes all that much sense, since a key part of Nuzlocke is the permanent consequences of decisions, whereas the defining feature of TAS is rewinds. The closest analogue would probably be challenge runs, e.g. going with the absolute lowest total level possible.

[Akwatypus]

The RNG manipulation can be extremely fascinating to watch! I remember watching Dobbs' commentary on a glitchless Gen1 Red speedrun World Record (not TAS) two years ago. It was super interesting.
You can sometimes manipulate random encounters in the grass and caves by just walking a certain way and pressing buttons, guaranteeing for example a perfect IV lv4 Nidoran outside Viridian, or not having any encounters _at all_ in Mt Moon until you get a Paras from a certain tile. It's crazy.

[cobaltsnake]

no matter how much content i watch about crazy pokemon runs there's always a new one i havent heard about. kind of amazing.

[WrestleManiafan]

Julien Boss catching strays in this one.

[Ray]

5:49 Nice one 😂 although he was already knocked out

[Kite]

Love the Zinnia theme at the end. Such a banger. And that TAS run was wild too lol
