I like how each roguelike thumbnail references The Binding of Isaac, yet Alpharad has yet to make any form of content about that game
okay bet
Well guess we know what the next video is about
@@Alpharadit’s worth it trust me
With an Isaac video could you make it’s thumbnail like Enter the Gungeon and start wearing that hat for a while?
ready to watch alpharad fucking die trying to explain anything about the game and not sound like a horrible person
I like how your rival gets more mentally depressed the further you go through the game
Basically hopp but stronger
The dialogues from Eternatus suggests they've been looping endlessly for eternity, so she's definitely pretty mentally gone by the end
@@monkeylemurYeah, and the fact that you unlock endless mode afterwards only further proves that.
Kinda generic tho, I've seen that act like 500 times by now.
@@TheCoolerIdeasGuythe fact you have a Rika Profile Pic make this even better lol.
I love how Ivy goes from "gee whiz friend, let's have a fun battle." To "You need to be stopped!"
Fr and where tf did she find rayquaza
All she wanted to do was drag us back home by our collars kicking and screaming
@@FrustratedMillennial Wonder trade
It's actually the best rival growth ever. And she obviously got Rayquaza by being a badass training and traveling just to be strong to beat the player
Honestly, she was one of my favourite rivals. They really made a character have more personality than “I want to fight!” Even if that’s all she did.
"Im your friend alpha!" to "i found my life's purpose and its to destroy you" type of shit from ivy
Honestly, I don't mind having a rival with that kind of personality. Reminds me of Kieran.
It's not "destroy you" but "push you to your limits". She realised something is wrong and that you're the only one that can fix everything (probably the world being stuck in a loop) by beating the responsible for this (eternatus, but I'm not sure she knows it's him). She realised her purpose is to make surr you're able to. Anf if you're not, she sends you to the start of the loop by destroying you. But this is not her purpose.
@@cynaxis4002 Eternatus is definitely responsible, since he outlines how the world was forged. He and Ivy have likely played against, "you," hundreds of times, with each attempt getting you closer to freeing Ivy from captivity.
Minor spelling errors@@cynaxis4002
@@patrickcarter2829 i like both ivy and kieran a lot, good people but lowkey on the verge of a breakdown LOL
As goofy as the DNA Splicers are, they do let you make some absolute monstrosities. I was able to combine a Togekiss with a Heatran to create a Steel/Fairy type with Flash Fire. I made Eternatus struggle to death.
My best one was Mega Aggron with Dachsbun for a Steel/Fairy with Well Baked Body, it made some big dmg Body Presses lol
@@archeremiya3533damn I gotta try that sometime lol
@@archeremiya3533CAN'T OUTSTALL THE WALL 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I had Gyarados and Azumarill for Dragondance Huge Power-
Dude this is literally what I dream to create. This is the one answer Ive looked for.
Evolving mid battle is really cool. Kindof like those hype moments in the anime
yeah, and pokémon already added the power of friendship lmao
This is what I've always been saying dude. They NEED this in the actual games
Digimon does that..
I love how fangames have advanced to the point where we can have a whole game without an OVERWORLD, and it's still awesome!
in browser too
Allowing pokemon fangames to exist is the sole reason why Pokemon as a franchise doesn’t have much competition at this point. They know that if they forced the community to make competing products, TPC would get outplayed hard
Allowing fan game lol
@@SerDerpishNah, even if ROM hackers are some of the most dedicated modders out there, Pokemon will always be the top franchise by virtue of being Pokemon.
Romhacks arent popular compared to the regular pokemon games tbh. They are fun to watch for the general audience though
Alpharad and roguelikes are a match made in heaven. His incredible luck and the bullshit that can happen in roguelikes is perfect.
when is he going to play Rogue (1980)
Every death is a work of art Each unique and hilarious
would love to see him play hades , his builds would be so busted
So true
The B plot of the Weezing that just wanted to die was the best part. It’s a shame nicknames aren’t a thing, otherwise that’d be an easy Wheez-yore.
Or the people's champion Doduo
Something really fun about this game is that literally any Pokémon is viable in it to a certain degree- you can obtain some wildly powerful moves from the egg gatchas and shiny Pokémon are both decently easy to obtain and have as much of a gameplay benefit as having powerful Pokémon bc they give you chances to get powerful items much more commonly and those can carry you hard. Makes this game a delight to watch and I love how everyone runs through in a different way due to how absurdly customisable the experience is. Cool to see one of my favourite KZheadrs play :D
If Anything Ivy (Rival) is a goddamned DEMON. She kills most of my runs before they hit off the ground or her Mega Ray destroys me.
@RegeneratioDeus because of Ivy it’s best to start with something like Flamigo, Duraludon or a legendary
What I like to run is IJug & a starter
Use Sunkern in a run, I dare you
Sunkern, Axew, Pidgey sounds weird enough for ur tastes (the SAP Squad)
Unfortunate issue. Alpharad killed the server by redirecting too much traffic. I wanted to play too ;-;
"Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe-
OH no WONDER the game has been crashing so hard LOL
I just checked, thats crazy
That explains a lot
Bruh I made a new run today and just so happened to get a dna splicer but then the server crashed and I lost the entire run
"If there's anything I can count on, it's the fact that I can still fuck this up" honestly those are words to live by
I think this is one of the luckiest first runs I’ve ever seen in my life bro, legendary, band and dna splicer in the first 100 wave is crazy
My 1st was up to 145. Ivy rocked my shit. But that was also my 1st leggo boss catch. Fecking darkrai of all mons
I wish I had his luck. My first and second runs ended at floor 50 both times. My third at 186 during the E4.
@@maniacaal snorlax is a hard ass carry, any moves requiring his weight to deal damage makes him a menace to society.
@@thahirshibu5042 nah, toxic/leech/salt cure are the team to carry past 145, SPECIALLY GARG
Alpha accidentally using the most efficient strategy possible on the final boss is hilarious
Or he knew. I'm suspicious mainly because he rocked both a Fairy/Steel in Tinkaton and a fantastic wall in Garganacl since it has Salt Cure. Both are very popular choices for Eternatus here. The only real reason I don't think he's necessarily cheating is because he didn't use Garganacl at all.
@@GaraichuYTid like to believe chat suggested a fairy steel mon, since I doubt alpha would straight up look up the end of the game
@@GaraichuYT Bud, Fairy Steel is just a great type combo, and Garganacl is notorious. Not using them would be kinda weird.
I think those two were caught specifically to help kill Rayquaza but it's kind of funny that Tinkaton walls Eternatus' entire first phase
@@Sassaparilla Wouldn't be the first time he cheated, I'm just saying.
Chat: You forgot to pass back the Baton!! Jacob: *What's that I couldn't hear you over my Torch Song*
Fun fact this game came out a MONTH ago It’s still super early access and already this well polished and appreciated
Gee, who designed Ivy? If you been in the pokemon community long enough, you'll probably have run into her character designer at least once.
Wait who
@@m4rcyonstation93how the fuck do you not know who the main rival is
Do tell
@@m4rcyonstation93 Pokemon Realidea and Reminiscencia creator did the designs for the rivals.
He did a great job. If she were part of an original IP, she would be waifu bait
Alpharad: See if Ray uses outrage it can open an opportunity as their risk factor for using a flying type move is- Ivy: FUCK IT WE FLY FUCK IT WE FLY FUCK IT WE FLY FUCK IT WE FL-
It has never used fly for me it always outrage spams lol
She's secretly a Team Sky Admin
@@chuchup1kachuGO TEAM SKYYYYYY

@@yoyoyo8087 GO TEAM SKYY 🦅🦅🦅
i love how ivy talks shit at you "i don't even know whether to thank you or hate you" and you shame her, while 100 floors later she jumpscares you with a shiny mega ray, save scumming really is my best friend
Save scumming was what genuinely carried me to my first victory against Ivy and Eternatus in my first Classic win. I didn't get too lucky with items which meant I needed to save scum to see what Ivy would reply with when I swapped in Pokémon. Had to sack my Skeledirge, Cresselia, Rhyperior, Ludicolo, and Grimmsnarl for my Inteleon to live at half HP and bonk Ivy's last 'mon. It felt a lot more satisfying to deconstruct her team and win, and even though it would've been cool to do it first time, it's a hard enough battle I feel no shame in save scumming tbh
@@eaglefan2569 no shame in save scumminng on pokerogue, it's even pushed, everyone will have a "HOLY FUCK MY HEART WILL IMPLODE" type run that will probably need savescum in 145 ivy, champion, 195 ivy, or eternatus (unless you got leech seed, that move is a beast against eternatus and ray)
This game is so fun, with this Hades 2 and Slay the Spire 2, Roguelikes are having a GREAT year
👋
SPIRE TWO????
Also new eye sac dlc soon
Ivy is Biancas incarnate but getting it back in blood this time
The Switch getting tossed into the trash is a great clip in general, and I'm happy to see it back again. 😂
Ivy fr goes from howdy friend to prepare to fight GOD
0:29 best reasoning for picking the good, adorable and little boi mudkip
27:04 You can hear Jan saying it now.
He should play pokerogue honestly
If you ever get Gholdengo, it has access to both Recover AND the ability to do war crimes.
The real final boss is the unscheduled maintenance we went through along the way.
Question: When does it end?
I gotta say, the mystery dungeon music,appart from being very appropiate, simply always slaps
00:00 yes
Hahahah I was about to comment that
oh heck yeah i do
Always
OH MY GOD THE CLIP RETURNS 10:17
I just noticed that there's a bloody tissue in the trash. What did he do
@@chiptunihad a bloody nose probably
27:38 okay, good analogies for most of the rogue likes, however as someone who's gotten Dead God in Isaac and had to fight this fucker way too many times, I can safely say he is *not* worth fighting again. ever.
Dead God only once?? Two more save files to go for Infinity%!!
Way to go Alpharad, Your video killed the pokerogue servers
Honestly the evolving mid battle makes so much more sense, like in the show lil bro would like get hit with iron tail from onix or something and just start glowing
I got into pokerogue back when it’s most popular content creator had a couple thousand subscribers, so seeing it getting played be people like alpharad is just amazing, good for sam
I like how when a Pokémon like Rayquaza comes out, people start shutting themselves.
I wouldn't be shocked if Nintendo's going to smite this game from the high heavens by the end of the year, maybe by next year if we're unluckly lucky
its difficult to do because they are not getting anything from it. Its free. Its like pokemmo, its still there because its completely free.
Gonna be very difficult to do, there’s no monetary gain from pokerogue, and there’s no merch of the game
Even if they do, I think it'll be hard to totally kill it. The game is open source and is already having problems with clone sites itself. If Nintendo really comes at them, they can really just make it easier to spread at the last minute, and then you got 100s of websites hosting it. It's a losing battle for Nintendo
Nintendo really hates when fans love their games
@@robenriven copyright owners can emit cease and desist for non-profits, it happens all the time. Its not difficult at all to do, as the other comment and you said, specially if you clearly copy their mechanics and straight rip off their sprites.
Gotta love it when the rivals are more of a threat than the final boss.
For some reason, the energy was really good in this video
The minute before this: *Working on Essay* The minute this came out: *IMMEDIATELY WATCHING IT*
I’m honestly surprised that there isn’t an official Pokémon Roguelike game yet since Pokemon have made so many spinoffs already. Would be amazing to see GameFreak or another developer to take on this type of genre!
Gamefreak is allergic to good ideas tbha
Technically Mystery Dungeon is a dungeon crawler rougelike. But not developed by Game Freak
It's him... The legend himself he's returned!
That's literally what Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is lol. It even *actually* plays like Rogue.
The first stage of eternatus only has eternabeam and cross poison as damaging moves so if you have a fairy steel type he can’t do anything and you can just set up stall on him Second form eternatus has eternabeam, cross poison, flamethrower, and recover i think
It has dmax cannon too
This video is just 25 minutes of Skelederge
i like how isaac is just THE rougelike game
It’s so funny if you know the history bc the dev genuinely was going to give away the game for free for a while bc he expected it to be so unpopular.
it got everything also its cool
This game is so addicting. Got 2 egg moves on beldum from my first batch of eggs and he has been carrying me on several runs, Sadly classic is a little boring in the middle part. and Endless gets braindead after lvl 3000. But with some changes and some more modes (Like Nuzlocke and Hard mode) this could be the best pokemon fangame ever made.
Damn you alpharad for destroying the pokerogue servers
02:48 It really feels like an anime moment when your pokemon evolves in the middle of battle. Also, Ivy is a menace! My first few attempts before I finally managed to beat classic mode I had to memorize which waves she showed up at just so I didn't get my shit rocked by her casually appearing with the second strongest pokemon in the game in boss-mode as her ace (It might actually be third, I haven't fought God yet, so I don't know how strong She is). I've apparently put in 50 hours in the game already, although the numbers may be inflated from me going AFK
Alpharad- finds dna splicers on round 14 Me- yeah that sounds about right knowing him
13:06 bro thought he was in palworld for a second
Shinies do actually do things in this game, just not for enemy pokemon
God the usage of keep your faith was fantastic for that little speech part, absolutely love hte usage of music in your videos, especially the persona music you always use it as good as Persona itself does
Why does the best browser game ever come out at the end of the school year
You know what hurts more is that crit took exactly 462, and the ribombee full health was 463.
As someone who’s played this game a lot, that’s only because Ribombee had 462 health left, the damage shown is how much HP was lost, which means it won’t show more than the current health value
Dude Ivy's design is SO good. Props to the artist.
"in most timelines I pull through" as someone that watched the stream, no you don't
What in the streamer privilege was that first run luck 😭
Thank you so much for making another one of these rouguelike videos. They are very fun to watch!
FINALLY! ONE OF THE EON DUO FEATURE IN A VIDEO! I still havent forgiven you for the too many types release of latios, Alpha.
Beat classic for the first time the other day. One of the toughest but most gratifying wins in all my gaming life. Things looked grim at multiple points but I pulled through. I even caught a Ho-Oh right before the final stretch...which I didn't even really need because Swampert kicked the late game's teeth in even without his Mega Stone. Turns out Ice Beam/EQ/Surf is basically all you need to dominate.
Should’ve named the Fuecoco Zagreus, missed opportunity
You can’t name pokemon in this game
@@Magikal-eo2ijshould’ve let people name Pokémon, missed opportunity
You can’t nickname Pokémon yet, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s planned in the future- the game is still in active development and isn’t anywhere close to a finished state, so there’s a lot of cool content that comes out frequently to fill in those gaps and rebalance things.
@@jamiedoesstuff5871I could probably end up asking Sam about it, he’s pretty active in the community on discord
PLEASE make this a continuing series! From like only doing one mon, shiny mons only, whatever it is, this game is so fun to watch and play and we would love to see more!
Finally, I can eat
He ignored the dialouge, but I was getting real yandere vibes from Ivy
Less Yandere and more… literally loses her mind due to the endless loop she is in
Yangiri. She's not crazy for you... she's just crazy.
@@armaggedon390Given that the purpose of the character is serving as boss fights... is she even incorrect to believe that her purpose is to provide [PLAYER] with a challenge?
Yeah. The other rival (who you fight if you pick the girl) is a lot less so.
I think after enough runs random trainers will start to pick up on it and just accept that they are in a loop. I got.. some unnerving lines fro a Lass and Youngster about fighting over and over.
Dammit, now the servers are down. All these streamers have attracted the Nintendogs to send a C&D
"ohh, ACAB, we got em" my goat
this game is amazing, ive already beat it 3 times, twice normally, and once challenging myself by using only gen 9 pokemon, and now im doing a dragon only run
3:57 Whims of Fate LFG!
Ivy got me acting "freaky", for real
Something neat i learned today while playing pokerouge is that if you press shift it shows any stat changes.
raichu with zippy zap is fantastic for new players who dont got access to good dedicated sweepers such as groudon. zippy zap is an 80bp priority move that ALWAYS crits, great for bosses who only get bulkier if you didnt ohko them. it gets the move the second it evolves
It carried me early game and didn’t fall off late game on my first clear
11:30 Woe be upon you Curse of Ra(yquaza)
Ah yes, I love failing miserably
Technician Meowth has ended so many runs pre-30. I fear them more than the Boss fights, to the point that I always have a sacrifice and then something fast enough to 1 shot or bulky enough to tank the hits.
You can enable retries, I highly suggest for anyone struggling to do so as after bashing my head into classic mode 30 times it was the only way i actually beat it with the selection of mons i had at the time
I hate Alpharad for making the game mainstream. The servers sucks now.
Ludwig and other streamers with large audiences also played it. But yeah, it is what it is.
Dang that was quick
I’m going through I rough bit rn due to my own actions anxiety was very happy to see this video up. Thank you mr Alpharad
now alls it needs is to collaborate with pokemon fusions so fused pokemon can visually reflect the fusions
I hate that you can only play in browser rather than download. If Nintendo takes it down, this is just entirely gone.
Admiral-Billy has a github with a downloadable version that works both online and offline. The game isn't monetized, so the chance of being struck down by Nintendo is incredibly low.
You can download it, its just a hassel to do so

love to see fan games that evolve pokemon in the middle of combat. should have been in the -side- official games a decade ago.

I would love to see more of you playing this
As a pokeroguer I'm very excited to watch this as I've been to level 3000 as my record I would love to see you do an endless mode stream or a few videos on it
Pokémon time
Maybe it's an audience retention thing , but showing that you caught a Latias ... Then stating it outright 2 min later kinda week sauce. Also the 15:12 mix of the VO and recorded footage is noticeable, the VO was about to say a word but it very obviously cut.
"I don't think we have the pokeballs." Catches straight away
Pumpkaboo is my GOAT. I love pick up since it lets you get a random item from a defeated enemy. So, all those pokemon you faint in the latter half with sitrus or lum or leppa berries, you can just steal and put on your own pokemon.
First like on the video! :]
