In the world of Pokémon, player-made challenge runs have become a focal point of the franchise, and a growing scene as the series went on thanks to content creators like Alpharad. While he is popular thanks to a passion for Pokémon and a comedic nature, he constantly highlights his own mistakes after making them thanks to his experience in competitive Pokémon. Yet, his first attempt at a Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Nuzlocke run, detailed in a YouTube video posted on April 19, shifted both what he, and his fans, expected from his inaugural attempt in the latest Pokémon game.
A Nuzlocke is a challenge run where players can only capture the first Pokémon they encounter for each route in the game. When any Pokémon faints, they’re considered dead and can no longer be used for that run. Considering the open-world aspect of Scarlet and Violet, Alpharad had to change his method to keep the challenge enjoyably difficult.
