    Just imagine Jubilee hearing Mikey go “this stupid game with these stupid crits in these stupid nuzlockes!” And realize he’s talking about 4 years ago.
  • @magmaking1770
    Mikey: "I'll get over it" Also Mikey: "I HAVE NOT!"
  • @Cheeseboy1967
    Michael: “I lost my starter, and I’ve not gotten over it” Alpharad & Jaiden: We know how you feel
  • @deadbread5736
    This is literally the embodiment of the meme "I've won, but at what cost?"
  • @aitanachiu2922
    I like it when he said: “So, if you want a Roserade on your team, DON’T CATCH A BUDEW!”. 😂
  • This video is great. I love how mandjtv talks about why he started the nuzlocke or why he did some things and i dunno its just allot more fun and interesting then to just hear how only the nuzlocke went
  • Imagine hearing a trainer saying “Go Cuddles!” You start to laugh but then you realize that it’s a legendary Giratina 🤣
  • @christora1898
    “The Quacken would’ve lived” one of Mikey’s best lines ever
  • @orbracha25
    personally, for enjoyment of a playthru that achieves all the same goals (making the game harder and causing you to use mons you didn't before), play color specific runs, you pick a color and can only use mons of that color (judging by pokedex color)

    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 :).
  • I feel your pain, on my first Nuzlocke my mighty Blastoise, Donatello, was killed by my Rival's Rhyhorn JUST before the Elite Four - HORN DRILL... I'm still mad.
  • @Sheenifier
    22:02 I love that bait and switch like "You thought" that was hilarious
  • it's interesting how michael seems less energized and much more grave in videos like this. really goes to show how brutal nuzlockes are.

    Micheal: ‘It is 20 hours of content, which is lots to soak in’ Everyone in quarantine: ‘Observe’
