Seeing Jan's heart finally grow three sizes and become sympathetic towards his pokémon is so cathartic.

Jan finally found that Nuzlockes are really the friends we made along the way.

He’s finally growing emotion, alpharad lost all his emotion in his “perfect nuzlocke” and now Jan is growing emotion now, it’s beautiful

Seeing Jan going from a heartless proffesional nuzlocker who won't hesitate to sacrifice or reset at a small inconvenience to an actually caring trainer that tries his best to preserve all pokemon if possible is truly a character arc we needed

Jan your scripts have become absolutely fire

jan's story telling and editing has gotten so so much better ever since his feud/collab with alpharad. the newer video's quality has gotten noticably higher. good shit man

I love how Jan and alphas narratives in their scripts are developing together, but going in opposite ways of each other. Jan starting to learn emotion and to not just reset whenever it goes wrong, whereas alpha starting to lose humanity, becoming cold and calculating in his runs

That ending was phenomenal. Not just the dialogue, but subtly showing the encounter and death of his final six Pokémon… Chef’s kiss

That final bit of monologue about the innate desire of people to tell stories is just simply magical.

This is like that one arc where the jaded "people are just tools" protagonist learns to care again.

God I love this, the stark difference from the cold calculated indifference of a sacrifice. Funny since Alpharad literally made a nuzlocke where he does the opposite and uses the pokemon like tools.

this script is incredible, the camperupt going from the worst encounter possible in the area to a run-saver many times over is such a good story

Honestly i really think there is a big content glow up recently but the thing is, it was already really good to begin with but the storytelling those last videos where really top-notch.

THIS IS ART. The ending scene, although somber, is bittersweet. Despite the run coming to an end, the bonds that we have made and the memories that we've gained will forever be with us till our last breath. o7s

35:05 "I'm not going to play around the fucking crit" is such a raw and powerful line from the person responsible for "playing around the crit" becoming more widespread

Your acting and storytelling abilities have developed into something astounding, even if it can feel a bit cheesy, that's the kind or unapologetic raw emotion we're missing in a lot of media lately

Dude this video is so fun to watch, I love how Jan’s storytelling has gotten better as he’s grown bigger and started learning from other people while still keeping his content as HIS!! Also, not to mention, it’s fun seeing Jan having his own Pachirisu tanking a Draco meteor moment with togedemaru carrying the early game

Jan rediscovering the meaning of Christma- I mean Nuzlockes was not what I expected with this challenge run but damn if it wasn't great. Absolute banger of a video

Honestly? This is where you shine PChal. When you survive despite the odds!

the story telling in this video went up to jayden's platinum nuzlocke level.

Pchal has mastered the secret master dark dragon arts of thumbnailing🥵

Gotta say your ad reads have been less skippable since Alpharad dogged on you.

Jan’s narration here is gripping omg, it’s like he’s pulling me in as I’m on the edge of my seat. Seeing his attachment to his Pokémon is so heartwarming and THE ENDING?? The monologue about story and tragedy as we see each of his teammates die and the fucking line about feeling free for just one day THAT WAS INSANE. This is a total pivot but I am loving the messy shaggy longer hair btw.

This is one the best nuzlocke videos I've ever seen. Jan has grown so much as a youtuber and storyteller 🥺

This video is like when an anime has an arc that teaches the villain about love and friendship

When Jan and Alpha are becoming more like each other.

This story is ABSOLUTELY worth telling and retelling, it's the rebirth of a nuzlocker. It has been a while since I was so eager to follow your progress in a run, and I cannot wait for Run and Bun to be back❤

The storytelling in this video is really out of this world. The will to keep on going into the face of death makes it even more like a old greek tale and the end that is shown only if you really watch carefully makes this really something different. I have seen so many nutzlocks so many fails and epic moments but this is not just a nutzlock this is a masterpiece!

Watching this run with more and more limited resources was one of the most entertaining gameplay I have ever seen. I hope you‘ll get back into this mod at a later point

This run and this video have to be the best things I have watched on KZfaq. That's why pChal can take idk how long breaks and come back seamlessly. He's the best Nuzlocker in the world maybe not literally, but in his own way

So moral of the story is You miss 100% of the shots you dont take Even if the situation isnt perferct, one can find a way to bring it back

The amount of risk taking in this run had my toes curling at points LMAO

jan has learned many things recently, how to be more optimistic, how to make an intro.. but most of all, he finally cares for is team. what a video

The redemption arc from this Pokémon antagonist has got to be my favorite one yet!

The fact that he spends so much of the video sounding so desperate instead of being so professional and objective is a pleasant change and is so relatable for us amateur nuzlockers

That ending made me legitimately cry, it was so sweet... I love this so much. 💜

Damn, I feel like this was one of your best videos, just because of the sheer emotional arc. Great job with everything, but especially the scriptwriting.

The journey of a man who viewed pokemon as tools learning to see them as friends... Beautiful

This is prolly the best nuzlocke video ive ever seen, its so well edited, the script is amazing, and jan having fun in it makes it all come together to for an amazing video

That ending, when you showed all of your remaining pokemon dying, had some attack on titan type feel to it. Like, even with their sacrifiices, you will continue to move on. Their deaths weren't meaningless, because it is the ones who live on, who give them meaning.

Its always a treat to get to watch pchal main channel vids. Its so awesome to see how the daily videos turns into a storyline. Thank you

After watching this saga on pchal daily I’ve been so excited for the main channel video to come out, 🔥 as always

Jan has masterfully crafted this narrative in a way few truly could have. His storytelling has massively improved needless to say he has easily become one of my favorite content creators of all time

This video is a masterpiece, it has it all - the cool strats, the twists, the emotions. You've really come a long way in storytelling and it's always so entertaining to watch your videos

What a banger video. And somehow the fights and strategies become even more interesting when your options are so limited. I enjoyed every second even after already watching all of it on the daily channel

This makes me want to do another nuzlocke so bad. Hell it makes me want to start streaming a nuzlocke, simply to experience this level of hype

I love seeing how your content has evolved over the years. I can really see how the friendships you’ve developed through KZfaq has impacted your storytelling and even the way you play sometimes. This was a fantastic video dude. Keep up the great work.

Maybe one of my favorite videos in a while. This was so fun to watch live and you definitely capture the energy!

An absolute banger of a video. In terms of pure storytelling probably the best you ever made.

The best Pchal video ever, by a country mile. That ending affected me.

That ending montage is absolute perfection -- great, bittersweet storytelling

And thanks to Run&Bun, Jan's love for his Pokémon grew three sizes that day.

one of my personal favorite pchal scripts/stories and I watched the whole thing on daily really excellent plot development 10/10

This run can be summarized by a single phrase: The show must go on

This has to be my favorite recent video of yours Jan - this is such awesome script writing and storytelling!!!

Your steady improvement throughout the years is really awesome to see! Awesome video, was following towards the end on PchalDaily

The thumbnails and intros have gotten so much better man so happy to see the glow up. Also the editors have been killing it as well keep it up.🙏

Literal goosebumps at the end, you have become such a good scriptwriter

This is by far my favourite Nuzlocke video ever. The gameplay was extremely on point, and because it wasn’t a deterministic puzzle as you said, it added so much more. Your storytelling and scripting were on another level as well. Everything about this video was excellent, I enjoyed it from start to finish, fully immersed. Fantastic job

God, this is your best work yet. Coming straight from the Crystal Kaizo+ video with the gothic poetry to this video, with its use of the sword of damocles, is one banger after another. PChal storytelling does not miss.

Your storytelling in this video honestly is just as good, if not better, than several alpharad vid's. from complimenting his story work to making something on par with it, this video was phenomenal great work

9:52 as a tboi player I loved the damocles reference (damocles makes items drop twice when one was dropes,but if you fet damaged it starts a times to kill)

This was by far your best story telling and voice acting you've done. Good content, thank you!

Something I like is how, after going over all the different fights that should have been run-enders that he nonetheless beat, he doesn't actually talk about the fight that actually ended the run. I think that actually adds to the theme of the video quite nicely.

Incredible rise in storytelling skills from you the last few videos Jan, incredible job!

This is your best video yet. My level of English does not reach the full extent of magnificence this video expresses but it is truly remarkable. Nuzlockes are meant to be played like this and this video in particular is a love letter to that concept.

The time to emphasize the quality of storytelling and to get us equally invested into these pixels on your screen is nothing but seriously and un-ironically inspiring. The fact that the phrase “the friends we’ve made along the way” is one of the many truest takeaways you can have from the story is the testament to the origins of nuzlockes as you mentioned and I think that’s a beautiful story to tell.

I loved the emotional feel of the entire video. Started off just a little, but built up wonderfully by the end. Great video, one my new favorites of yours!

This is my favorite video you’ve ever done. Amazing work, man.

Recently found your videos, and you totally destroyed my perspective about Pokemon games... and I thank you for that. I used to playing pokemon by leveling up only 1 starter (often Charzizard or Blaziken) and beat the crap out of E4 within 1 day, it's kind of lame and I drop it around gen 5. But after few videos of your, You reignite my flame inside of me and suddenly I feel pokemon isn't just that simple game. I'm trying Radical Red recently and oh boy it fuk me up real good. But I change from all 4 mono type Fire-move Charzizard to Dragon Dance Feraligatr with cover type move. I know I have a long way to go even before my first Nuzlocke, but I have to say thank you to you, for opening a new whole game for me. P.s: At least I know that never switch Onix to fight Jynx.

The script in these videos has been getting better and better, and the unintentional foreshadowing of you talking about the snowball effect in nuzlockes with this video perfectly showing exactly why a snowball is dangerous, what an amazing watch

you've gotten fantastic at scripting it's just amazing

still a masterpiece of a run even fi ends in a tragedy

that ending hit just right, very profound look at why nuzlockes are so special ❤

That's one of the coolest video about Pokémon challenge i ever saw , thanks for this , seriously .

Damn dude. Good video, loved the script! Glad you’re upping your game!

Pchal, I want you to know we see and appreciate these fire thumbnails!

24:02 the most heartwarming smile this man has ever shown us in his life.

This is such a beautiful video, not just in seeing how Jan's perspective has shifted, but it's like seeing the bored, overpowered character being so excited to face a challenge again

I hardly ever comment on youtube videos, but I can't help it on this one. This has to be one of Jan's best videos, the change of heart is something I never would've expected but can't get enough of. Amazing video

While the KZfaq algorithm is kinda weird in what it suggests when binging your content, this video is one of your bangers in my opinion. :D Really like the positive attitude towards a singular run and attempt, not going for the W of the whole thing but enjoying the ride instead. Sure, some rides won't be as great. But this one with the great narrative keeping up the tension? I hope you'll have more challenging Pokemon Runs to do that you'll enjoy, so that footage for vids like this exist. :D Just don't torture urself too much, the single runs need to be enjoyable too.

Can't wait to see more of this rom

Yo, I love your content and I've only recently found it but I gotta say. This script was done so much better than some of your older content. You've come a long way dude, and it's good. Keep it up

10:12 that leaf storm animation is sick, and god I did not expect it to hit that hard even with the crit

This game is so fun to watch, I can't wait to go to pchal daily and see the next attemp... oh

I already know a ton of creators are gonna reacts to this video💫💫💫💫✅✅✅✅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Honestly one of your best videos ever. Even knowing the run was going to die. It was so fun to watch the journey. How does he make it out of each fight? It was also super fun to see you enjoying the run. Great video keep up the great content

This was genuinely some extremely compelling storytelling; possibly the most compelling I've seen in a Pokemon Nuzlocke video. Absolutely excellent work!

This run was just so much fun to watch, and this video details why perfectly

Jan's story telling has improved tenfold it's actually crazy. I enjoyed this video so much

love that alpha and pchal have had inverted character arcs

What an incredible video. The slow descent into being put at wit's end was amazing to watch the ending really put into perspective that at the end of the day, Pokemon's played for the fun someone gets out of it, no matter if it's hardcore minmaxing or just doing the best you can with the team you choose/are forced to bring with you. Wonderful watch, looking forward to the next one!

32:35 the moment Jan learns that "optimal" doesnt mean "only way to do it" lol

This might be your best video to date The script and the story being told are just so great

the friendship-rivalry with alpharad shows content getting better

Wow, absolutely just wow. The chills I felt from this video, the emotions I experienced. This was a phenomenal video and it’s awesome to see how far you’ve come in script writing and storytelling. I was hooked start to finish and I can’t wait for more!

Your Emerald Kaizo video was probably the best, most exciting Poketuber vid I've ever seen... but I think this one deserves the crown now. Seeing the best nuzlocker in the world rediscover the original joy of nuzlocking made me feel things.

That ad read, I can relate to that. I've had times where i remember something and search and search but can never find it. It always drives me crazy when i know something happened but no matter how long I search, where i search, or what terms i use to search for it. I can never find it and end up giving up

out of all the content creators out there, you are one of the great my man. What a script and what an idea. Your videos are masterpeices my dude. well done well done

I've watched all the run and bun videos and even managed to tune in to some of the streams and loved all of them. But the writing of this video gave this glorious first attempt the perfection it deserved. This was Jaiden Nuzlocke level of entertainment. Dein bestes Video Jan ❤ ganz großes Kino
