I’m not really at a point where I can answer, so I’ll just say that only time will tell but it’s not something I’m actively considering at this point in time, sorry.

A combination of personal reasons and mental health reasons. There are plenty of videos left there for people to watch or rewatch if they feel like it, though!

It’s kind of funny, because ever since a friend of mine got one a little less than two years ago, I’ve been meticulously checking every Deerling I pass by to see if any have pink flowers on their heads. You’d think I’d have found a Shiny one in a group or something, not like this! 😆

Wow, that’s awesome!

Both sound ambitious! Good luck on whichever you go towards first!

Anyway, the moral of this thread is that sometimes one small thing, like starting a #Nuzlocke challenge for the first time with a buddy in a car ride, turns into something huge. You never know what will lead to adventures or success. Sometimes you just have to follow your Heart...Gold.

Altogether you can watch all of my challenge series in... 🕣 793 hours 35 mins and 37 seconds! 🤯 Which is just over 33 days straight, 24 hours a day! There's still time before the end of the year! 👀⏳ Get going!! (No, please, don't 🤣)

Want to throw in some of the streamed series that were also archived? Good news, that adds an extra... 🕓 529 hours 25 mins and 21 seconds! (That's over 3 weeks!) Of course these are a lot less edited, but they're entertaining nonetheless. Good background noise. For 3 weeks.

If you were to start watching all of these series that *weren't* streamed, such as the Emerald #Nuzlocke, HeartGold #Wedlocke, etc., it would take you... 🕑 264 hours 10 mins and 16 seconds (over 11 days!) 😱 This doesn't include any of the stream archive series!
comment in response to post
I had to count them up, but since then, I’ve done a total of 25 different #Nuzlocke, #Wedlocke, or similar challenge video/stream series! Of those: ✅ 18 were wins ❌ 4 were losses 🚫 and 3 were incomplete I’ve also done at least a dozen off camera, either for myself or with friends.

Congrats on 25 years of Serebii! That’s an awesome accomplishment and it’s wonderful that even after a quarter century you are still providing such a valuable resource to Pokémon fans around the world! #Serebii25

Perfect!

Yes, that’s such a wonderful choice! Espeon is great, such a cool and sleek Psychic-type in general. It is great how it’s still so fondly remembered from Colosseum—that one was so good haha.
comment in response to post
Very nice choice and also quite apparent by your handle here! Mawile is a great Pokémon, I agree it has that combo of cute and cool (I’m particularly a sucker for the former), and anytime I’ve used one they’ve been really good, too! Also Mega Mawile was an awesome addition!

Porygon-Z is such a wild but neat Pokémon for sure! I remember when it first came out, it seemed like a joke, but it was also really powerful too!
comment in response to post
Very cool! I’m quite partial to that line in my Sinnoh playthroughs as well! It’s pretty awesome!
comment in response to post
Ooooh very cool! It’s a neat Pokémon (although a bit creepy imo haha 😨), but yes, it was really good when Disguise was first introduced, too!
comment in response to post
That’s quite a nice selection of favorites! Ok, this does beg the question, though: which is your favorite Eeveelution? 🤔
comment in response to post
It’s indeed a very cool new Pokémon! Glad to see a new one has grown on you!
comment in response to post
Gengar is pretty great and those are awesome reasons for liking it! Also very amusing gif to back it up, too!
comment in response to post
Thank you for the kind words! Sorry I didn’t see that—I fully left Twitter over a year ago, even before it changed to X. I’m hanging in there, going through a lot but doing what I can. I’m glad I was able to leave an impact and impression on people during my time on YouTube!
comment in response to post
Definitely a very cool Pokémon! Very nice! ⚡️
comment in response to post
Raichu is pretty awesome for sure! ⚡️ 🐭
comment in response to post
Heck yeah, Weavile exudes cool! Glad you enjoy it as well and that you had a memorable one in your Diamond playthrough!
comment in response to post
Woohoo, Charmander is awesome! While it wasn’t my first starter, as time went on it became my favorite of the Kanto trio for sure. Glad you still have a favorite in the little fire lizard even to this day!
comment in response to post
Nothing wrong with liking cuter Pokémon as time goes on! Victini is pretty great in that regard. Pretty powerful, too.
comment in response to post
Really can’t go wrong with Charizard! It’s popular but for good reason: it is pretty cool!
comment in response to post
That’s such a neat selection of favorites! Darkrai is definitely cool, but it’s neat to see the likes of Charmeleon, Dunsparce, and Delibird up there, too, because I don’t see them too often! Nice!
comment in response to post
I’m a big fan of them as well! They’re great!
comment in response to post
Awesome, I’m just glad that it was relatively easy to find me over here! I haven’t used that other site in over a year so it’s good people are finally leaving.
comment in response to post
Ah, that explains it then! I heard about the (ridiculous) TOS change. Didn’t realize that would prompt so many people to actually switch over, but hey, great, I don’t use that other site anymore.
comment in response to post
I considered it! But I also wanted to start simple and make sure that, for now, I’d have the standard Bluesky account domain, especially since it was available. Might change it or swap things around in the future—at least I know it’s always an option!
comment in response to post
Perfect timing! I literally just set this up a day or two ago, just in case, and wanted to be sure it was on my YouTube channel as well to ensure it’s authentic!

It has been a difficult year behind the scenes. My goal is to continue the backend overhaul of the Marriland website in the next month or two, maybe apply some more immediate patches such as fixing the Team Builder. Apologies it's so far behind. Life can be tough sometimes! But we must persevere!
