PokéMonday Night Combat - 01/28/20

redemption!

Let's get ready to pokemon!!

Edit: Hey Jan. Next time please move your camera feed to the top left corner. Unfortunately your position covered your pokemons stats and how many you have left.

This video is pretty fantastic, but you know what I could use?

Jan playing some pokemon with the community.

Hi Jan! Get better soon!

Those were some good battles nice video Jan

All those ideas sound good but a Nuzlocke with a partner/group would be super cool. I'd say Heart Gold/Soul Silver but those can get very grindy. Leaf Green/Fire Red is a good pick though there's definitely some Kanto fatigue. Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire might be a good one. You get exp share so grinding isn't too bad and Hoehn is a cool region.

Jan, you are delightful.

A nuzlocke run would be killer Jan!

I was at work this time! Probably for the best though, I should probably sit these out for a while, I've already had 3 battles with you on these.

This video is absolutely fantastic.

I just want to see Jan sitting in a room by himself.

Every time I see a Giant Bomb video I ask myself, "Why isn't this a PokéMonday Night Combat video?"

And then I draw a Cool S on my wall.

I love you and this feature Jan. So happy to see it up again.

I'd love to participate in a draft league!

Really hoping I can get in on one of these battles someday.

Aired live while I was in bed 00:30 - 01:30 UK time, checking out the archive now!

Sebastian Mallory is a book villain that takes over a moving train.

I'm doing a Nuzlocke on SwSh, as this is my first Pokemon game. I can see why not to do it here, however, as it feels like the overall handholdiness probably doesn't scale the difficulty up even with the Nuzlocke rules. I'd be curious to see really any of the other gens for one, however.

Also: NO ALCREMIE SLANDER

I heard you describe a draft league Jan & I still don't understand what it is.

Get better soon Jan!!

Would LOVE to see you do a nuzlocke run!! :)

oh yeah and i'd 100% watch a you do a nuzlocke run. i'd personally like to see black/white 1 but i don't know if it's any better or worse for doing a nuzlocke i'm only picking it because it's my favorite

Thursday Night TemTem, when?

Would love to see a Hoenn nuzlocke, either in Emerald or the DS refreshes.

I miss Kallie being around already

Yes please! Or even centered vertically on the left of the screen.

I just wanted to voice my appreciation for this feature. I have had a pretty off-and-on relationship with Giant Bomb content (no fault of the site, just my taste/time!), but: PokéMonday Night Combat is my fav ongoing series at the moment. I've barely started on the backlog, but I am keeping it up with it week-by-week and I have not done that for years on the site.

love you Jan! Hope you feel better!

Nuzlocke Pokemon Red with a randomizer like the pokechamp you are.

This video is absolutely fantastic! Some of my favorite pieces of content on the web site!

But you know what I'd also like?

A Nuzlocke Run Baby!

I haven't played a second of pokemon in my life but I love this series.

Loved the content as usual Jan, would totally be down for a draft league if there is enough numbers!

Would love the Nuzlocke run. It would be fun to participate in a draft too but I know I don’t have the time for it. I also would have no idea what I’m doing, I’ve only beaten the campaign in Sword.

Love this show though!

I may be late on this but I would absolutely love to be a part of a draft league, or in general have GB pokemon tournaments!
