[Gen 8] Couple's Consoling Plays Pokemon Shield BLIND Nuzlocke!

[Couples-Consoling]

Hey, let me know if there's a problem running two challenge runs at the same time... But we're doing a husband/wife BLIND Shield Nuzlocke, and we wanted to share it here!! Normal Nuzlocke rules, but no level caps because... well, we have no idea what's coming! Take a look, this is a LOT of fun, we think you'll get a kick out of this!

Hi, there is absolutely no problem with running more than one challenge at the same time.

Good luck on your adventure in Galar.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

More Blind Shield Nuzlocke, real quick after the last bit! We've got a lot coming over the next few days, there is a LOT to say about everything happening in this latest Pokemon game!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

So, as it turns out... Ali managed to hear nothing about DYNAMAXING, the wild area, cooking, or camp pokemon! And we get to discover ALL those things in this episode! It's a wild ride, trust me!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

So now that we're beginning to understand how the wild area and max raid battles work, it's time for us to delve a bit deeper... what other pokemon can we get our hands on around here? And what can we possibly evolve...?

 

[Couples-Consoling]

We're entering Motostoke, the first big city this game has to offer! And it turns out that what it has to offer is a LOT of character customization opportunities. Look at Galar, the Cumberbitch is here!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Today, Cumberbitch takes her first strides upon the pitch, and begins to journey past Motostoke! Check it out!

It was inevitable that this would happen. The first death in our blind Shield Nuzlocke. Place your bets - who's it going to be? And also: what new death animation do we have in store?

Will have to give this a watch after I finish the game, subscribed to your YouTube channel and slowly getting through the original white Nuzlocke, you guys planning to do any more after sword and shield?

Glad you're enjoying it! We are DEFINITELY doing more after this - we were midway through White 2 when Shield came out, and we've actually got a BUNCH of episodes filmed for it still. We've just paused it while we do Shield, and we'll be able to pick it RIGHT back up after that's done.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

We want to catch more new pokemon, and we want to do it through Max Raid Battles - but we do NOT yet know everything about how they work! Come watch us figure it out?

 

[Couples-Consoling]

It's off to work we go in the Galar Mines! Which would be much easier to walk through if this blonde snot would get out of the goddamn way.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

We're shocked it's taken 10 episodes, but we're finally doing our FIRST gym battle in our husband/wife blind Shield Nuzlocke! And Ali has no idea what the new set up is like!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

With our shiny new gym badge in hand, we can go find new pokemon on Route 5 - and we can evolve some mons we already have!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

It took us so long to get to Milo to fight for our first badge, but we're already in Hulbury ready to take on Nessa for our second! Places your bets on how we do!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Chairman Rose invited us to a "fancy" seafood restaurant, and we demand good food instead of this camping gruel we've been eating! Oh, and also, we get to the second Galar Mines.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

After getting the second round of Galarian mines out of the way, we're off to Motostoke for our third gym battle. But these punks keep getting in our way! Oh, and also... this episode... he's here. Prepare for the arrival of DugDimmadome.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Happy Thanksgiving! Why don't you enjoy it by popping into the oven with us as we fight Kabu, the Fire type gym leader in Motostoke? We found a Pokemon that looks like BACON!

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Third badge in hand, we must make our way to Hammerlocke - but that means going into the Wild Area, and into areas we haven't yet been! So, once again, we must question how we go about catching things there... Oh, and camping. We also go camping.

 

[Couples-Consoling]

Time for us to enter Hammerlocke, and get deeper into this game's plot. It's gotta be building to something, right? Also, this episode was stressful to make for like ALL the wrong reasons... but we're glad we got it out there!
