Практика Shadowing: My First Pokemon Nuzlocke - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

A Pokemon Nuzlocke is a set of rules that turn a normal playthrough of Pokemon into a hardcore playthrough of Pokemon.

You're only allowed to catch the first Pokemon you see per route, and if any of them faint, they actually.. don't live anymore, and you can never use them again.

The game I will be Nuzlocking will be Pokemon Ruby.

Not because I'm copying Jayden, but because Gen 3 is my favorite generation, and out of the three games,

Ruby was the one I played as a kid and bought with my own money.

It was $40.

Imagine paying that much for a copy of the game now.

Also, full disclosure, I've seen other Pokétubers who have a deep, uncanny knowledge of this game and use calculators to make the best,

most optimal plays, but I'm not quite at that level yet, so I might make choices that some could consider.. suboptimal.

I thought Grass was like super effective against water.

Why is he super effective against me?

But if you can forgive me and look past all that, then let's get out of this truck and start our adventure!

Hmm, let's see...

Someone's already picked Torchic, and when I played this as a kid, I picked Trico.

So that means we're left with Kipmud!

After defeating my rival's Trico, I headed to Oldale Town and caught my first Pokemon that would be joining our team, Floof the Poochiana.

I'm guessing naming Pokemon after pets is very common in Nuzlocke's.

By the way, this is how Floop's very first fight went.

OH!

Oh my god.

Hey!

Do you wanna learn how to catch Pokemon?

No. I'm good.

Well that's too bad!

First you wanna get him weak by throwing tiny rocks at him.

Traveling through Route 104, I caught a Zigzagoon!

Igzy the Zigzagoon.

I'm probably not gonna train her up or anything, but she will be useful teaching useless HMs to.

What's that, Igzy?

You have an ability where you pick up random objects?

And you picked up...

...a revive?

Oh, Igzy...

I can't use these!

Wandering through Pedalburg Woods, some guy asked me if I'd seen any Pokemon named...

SHRUMISH!

The main reason Gen 3 is my favorite is because the best Pokemon ever, Breloom makes his debut in this game.

Why, if I found a Shroomish in this forest, I would probably react like this.

This guy was being truthful.

I named Shroomish Goat because not only is he the greatest of all time, but because I was also working on this other video about goats, so I had a lot of goats on the mind.

We made it to Rustboro Town and challenged Roxanne, the rock-type gym leader, but thankfully we picked the water starter, so...

You know, Kidmup, do your thing.

I caught a Taillow on Route 116, and keeping with the naming Pokemon after pets theme, I named him RE2.

Not to spoil anything, but don't get too attached to RE2, Jaden.

We sailed to Jewford Town and saw that the second gym was a fighting-type gym, so that meant...

Fighting...

Type...

Weakness...

It was RE2's time to shine!

He's like, actually a higher level.

I didn't like that.

He's too high of a level.

Despite being a lower level, we decided to wing it and managed to defeat everyone's Pokemon, only having to tap out at Brawly's Makahuita, which Kidmup mopped the floor with.

Hey, when did you start walking on two legs, Kidmup?

The next HM we learn is this terrible move, Flash.

The only thing Flash is good for is lighting up a dark cave

that technically isn't even required to progress through the game if you know where you're going.

I however, do not.

Currently, Goat is the only one on the team who can learn Flash.

But I'm like 80% sure once a Pokemon learns an HM move, they can't unlearn it.

So I really don't want to teach this S-tier Pokemon an unforgettable F-tier move.

Oh boy, an Abra!

I bet he can learn Flash!

Oh boy, a Zubat!

Okay, I'm kind of fudging the rules here.

This Zubat wasn't technically the first Pokemon I saw on this route,

but does it even count as an encounter if all you do is look at a Pokemon and then they teleport away?

Excuse me?

Look, I just need this useless Pokemon to learn this unrequired move.

Zubat, I'm calling you Mr. Flash and immediately teaching you...

No!

Goat, you can learn Flash.

YAY!

After clearing out Team Magma from a museum, we were ready to take on Watson, the electric-type gym leader.

Luckily, we picked the water-ground starter, so...

Kidmup, do your thing!

Now what?

Do I go here?

Here?

How did I get here?

During my wandering, both the Pokemon I named after pets evolved into bigger versions of themselves, And Goat learned headbutt.

Can I get rid of Flash?

NOOOOO!

Hey lady, I'm kinda lost, so I'm...

entering random houses and asking NPCs where I should go.

Oh, you have harbor mail?

I'll trade you that for my coin case!

Coin case?

You know, for gambling?

GAMBLING?!

Listen, I don't have a problem.

The reason I'm this excited...

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

It's because one of the prizes you can win at the casino is a Pokemon.

A Pokemon that may help me build the perfect team.

So before I checked what the prizes actually were, I bought 500 coins for a measly 10,000 Poke Dollars.

Just TMs?

100

Just dolls?

101

I just wasted a lot of money, didn't I?

102

Good news though, Goat evolved into his perfect form and learned Mach Punch.

103

Right, right.

104

Eventually, I talked to the right NPC, taught Igzy Rock Smash, and while exploring a fiery path, I caught my first fire-type Pokémon, Oh, oh, okay, okay, okay,

105

okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, Noomol.

106

Let's go, man.

107

Even though Noomols can be found in the desert, have a big hump on their back, and evolve into something called Camerupt,

108

for some reason, I never looked at this Pokemon and thought Camel.

109

I always thought Fire Cow.

110

So that's why I named her Cooked Beef.

111

Then on Route 114, we encountered a Zangoose.

112

I have no clue what this Pokemon does, but it looks way cooler than all the Odishes and tiny birds I kept running into, so it had to be awesome!

113

Cooked Beef!

114

The nine levels you have on this goose are more than enough to weaken it.

115

Hit him with an ev- Okay.

116

Oh, please don't.

117

OOOH!

118

Kicked beef!

119

So, my only fire type died to a quick attack that did 50 damage.

120

Zangoose, or should I say, Beef Eater, you can join the team for now, but just know, we could have killed you at any point.

121

It was a challenge not to kill you.

122

We headed up a mountain and fought Maxi, the leader of Team Magma, who had his own floof Pokemon, which Goat took care of, and he had his own evolved cooked beef.

123

Hmm, I sure wish I had one of those on the team!

124

Hey, Beef Eater, why don't you make yourself useful and fight that Crobat?

125

Okay, that's kinda cool.

126

As we headed down the mountain, who did I encounter but- Who's the new Pokemon?

127

Another Pneumo.

128

Immediately, I abandoned Beefeater to make room for...

129

Return of King.

130

Before we take on Gym Number 4, I think I figured out a way to get Goat to forget the move Flash

131

without having to beat him over the head with a 2x4.

132

A little Pidgey told me that Goat was about to learn a new move at his next level.

133

So, by placing him in the Pokemon Daycare and doing some light cardio outside, he'll level up, learn the new move, and forget Flash.

134

And my plan worked like a charm.

135

It really sucks that this is the only way to get Pokemon to forget an HM move.

136

You'd think they'd have some, I don't know, a move-deleter NPC or something?

137

Oh my gosh.

138

Now you'd think that since I picked the water starter, that the fire type gym wouldn't be an issue. But it was.

139

Floof and I quickly learned why biting lava was a bad idea.

140

Okay!

141

Thankfully Kidmup, who I don't know why I didn't send out first, took out both of Flannery's Slugmas with no issue.

142

But then she sent out Torkoal.

143

Even though Kidmup was using a super effective move, he only did this much damage.

144

Meanwhile, Torkel's body slams were doing this much damage.

145

And paralyzing us!

146

Okay, um, goat?

147

I know you're the goat, but you understand why you can't fight a fire turtle, right?

148

RE2, looks like you're up.

149

Finish her off with a steal- Ah!

150

DUDE!

151

RE2!

152

NO!

153

What do we do?

154

What do we do?

155

are great choices.

156

What I really need is a turn to heal up Kidmup, but...

157

Hey, Igzy.

158

Are you aware of the concept...

159

taking one for the team?

160

Given the dire circumstances, this felt like the best choice.

161

Sorry, Igzy.

162

With Kidmup healed, we managed to get Torkoal's health really low, but then Kidmup refused to finish the fight because he was,

163

in his words, Immobilized by love.

164

Kidmup!

165

I know you're letting this turtle body slam you on purpose, and you're sick for it!

166

Do you really think we have a future together?

167

Okay, Goat, I know this is a fire turtle, but she's mostly using body slams.

168

Could you please punch this turtle's head off without falling in love?

169

We earned our fourth gym badge, but it wasn't without some casualties.

170

RE2 and Igzi, we wouldn't have made it this far without you.

171

Thanks for everything.

172

We traveled into a sandstorm where I picked up two Pokémon, this fossil, and this weird Pokémon I've never seen before, Baltoy.

173

Alright King, my second chance at a fire type.

174

I know this isn't your natural habitat, but why don't we train here in the desert for a bit?

175

Moo!

176

Oh, you found a Baltoy!

177

I just caught one of those!

178

I'm not sure what its moves are though.

179

What, nuts!

180

God!

181

Okay, team!

182

I know everyone is upset this...

183

thing shares a species with the Pokemon who blew up King, but it possesses psychic abilities that I believe could be very useful.

184

So, please everyone give a warm welcome to King Eater!

185

No one step on it.

186

We headed back to Petalburg City and faced gym number five, my dad.

187

Also, I brought Odd1ish just in case we had another Iggy type situation.

188

Am I an integral member of the team?

189

You sure are, bud.

190

Despite a few close calls... Who?

191

Dude!

192

Dude!

193

Finish him off.

194

Nooo!

195

Everyone, including Odd1ish, made it out alive.

196

Oh my god!

197

Good thing we have free healthcare!

198

I don't know WHAT I'd do if someone took away my free healthcare!

199

Not right now, goat.

200

Across the water on Route 118, I caught Picklechoo the Electrike.

201

Great.

202

I don't know, he's electric like Pikachu, and his head kinda looks like Pickles, so...

203

Whatever, having an Electric-type on the team is huge.

204

After inspecting all the Pokemon I had, I figured Mr. Flash's flying poison moves could be useful.

205

So I evolved him into Golbat and then- Here you go, daycare lady!

206

Alright, my favorite Pokemon!

207

Who wants some ice cream?

208

Gosh, I love you guys!

209

I couldn't ask for a better team right here!

210

At Fortree City, we were ready to take on Winona, the Flying-type Gym Leader.

211

Wait, this, uh, weird lizard's blocking our path.

212

Kidmup, can you- Oh, cool, you're back on four legs again.

213

Also, Picklechew, why are you blue?

214

The only thing that stood between me and Winona was this incredibly hard two-piece puzzle.

215

Hmm...

216

How do I get through this?

217

Oh.

218

Figured out.

219

Picklechew was able to spark Winona's Swellow, and Kidmup, through sheer willpower, tanked all of Alteria's earthquakes, narrowly avoiding death by eight hit points.

220

Good work, Kidmup!

221

Picklechew, you know what to do.

222

I found a TM for Ice Beam on an abandoned ship and… King Eater, you can learn Ice Beam?

223

I'm sorry it's taken me this long to realize how awesome of a Pokemon you are.

224

You know King Eater, with you on the team, I think we'll be okay without a Fire Type.

225

I entered Lilycove City and my rival wanted a rematch.

226

Kidmuff knocked out her Swellow no problem, but then she sent out Grovile.

227

Ooh, I know the perfect matchup for this.

228

King Eater, why don't you show this Grass-type that new move you learned?

229

Dude!

230

D'ah!

231

Are you gonna use a Hyper Potion?

232

No!

233

I can't believe I got that upset at losing a Pokémon that before this challenge, I had never even considered playing with.

234

If any members of the Claydol Lover community are watching...

235

I'm sorry, I didn't know we hated grass.

236

Alright team, we're not fighting any more gyms until each one of you is in peak physical shape.

237

Floof!

238

Why haven't you evolved into Hondoom yet?

239

What about this fossil?

240

Is this fossil any good?

241

Mmm...

242

We picked the plant one.

243

We got the plant.

244

What about Mr. Flash?

245

Has anyone seen Mr. Flash?

246

Why hasn't that loser evolved yet?!

247

Hey, buddy... So listen...

248

We're friends, right?

249

You know, Goat had to stay in the daycare once.

250

Yeah, yeah, it was to forget the move...

251

Flash.

252

Look, Mr. Flash, I know I technically shouldn't have even caught you, and I named you after a garbage move I thought you could learn,

253

but I want you to evolve so you can be the best version of you on the team!

254

Don't you want to join the team?!

255

I have this soothing bell you can hold on to.

256

Welcome to the team, Mr. Flash.

257

With the team stronger than ever, I surfed my way to an island that had a Pokemon graveyard inside a tall building, and for the first time ever,

258

I could actually grieve with the other trainers.

259

That was a great battle, dude.

260

Yeah, it was.

261

Here's some money.

262

So, Kidmup was holding an amulet coin, so you actually owe me 600.

263

We defeated more Team Magma grunts at the top of the tower, and on our way down, I caught what I thought was going to be a super awesome Pokemon, but turned out to be a little disappointing.

264

Let's go!

265

My third chance at a Fire-type, my son, the Vulpix.

266

Which I immediately evolved into Ninetales.

267

Why was she a disappointment?

268

I don't know.

269

You'd think a Fire-type would have no problems defeating a Gloom. But alas.

270

I'm not saying Ninetales is a lame Pokemon.

271

I'm saying mine specifically was.

272

Floof and Kidmup easily cleared the Psychic Gym with Shadow Ball and Surf,

273

and with that we just have one more gym before we- Is the sun on fire?!

274

So I haven't really been paying attention to the story, and now the legendary Pokemon Groudon is angry.

275

And as much as I would've liked to have Groudon on the team, I never found the master So we're not risking it.

276

Oh hey Wallace!

277

Oh you're the water type gym leader?

278

Oh I hope my fighting grass Pokemon will be okay.

279

No, you don't have to fight the Sealeo.

280

I'll get Floof to do that.

281

And with our 8th gym badge, we could finally travel through Victory Road and face the Elite Four.

282

Aren't you forgetting something?

283

Oh...

284

I don't know how you want me to respond to that.

285

This is it.

286

Our final challenge.

287

Each one of you has trained very hard, and as a reward, you'll each be receiving...

288

a piece of candy.

289

You get a candy?

290

You get a candy.

291

You get a candy.

292

You get a candy.

293

You get a candy.

294

And.. you get a candy.

295

This is it.

296

This is gamer moment to the max.

297

Kidmup and Goat were able to finish off Sydney's Pokemon with their water, ice, and fighting moves, and my two dogs, Picklechew and Floof, crunched and bit all of Phoebe's ghost Pokemon.

298

Picklechew might be cursed though.

299

Against Glacia, my son finally stopped being a disappointment and fire blasted her Glalie.

300

Then I tried to get Goat to drain her Sealeo, forgetting he didn't like Ice.

301

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

302

Ice and birds, those are his two big no-no's.

303

Luckily, Kidmup was able to earthquake the rest of her Pokémon.

304

Now it was time for the fourth member of the Elite Four, Drake.

305

His Alteria was defeated by Kidmup and Floof, but they both took some damage.

306

Against his Flygon, I sent out my son.

307

Okay, what about Fireblast?

308

You're green.

309

AHH!

310

Then Flygon dug a hole in the ground, but by the time he came up, Mr. Flash was waiting for him and took him out with a fly.

311

For Drake's next Flygon, I sent out Goat.

312

I don't think.. he doesn't like birds, and Flygon's a dragon?

313

Yeah, Flygon wasn't a bird, but I forgot a very important aspect about dragons.

314

Give him a dynamic punch.

315

Nope, okay.

316

Oh no!

317

Oh he knows flamethrower.

318

Fire and poison, those are his other two no-no's.

319

Instead, Floof and Picklechew crunched Flygon's head off, and then I used Kidmup's last blizzard on Salamence.

320

Okay, I'm gonna need this blizzard to hit.

321

Please?

322

Yes!

323

Yes!

324

Yes!

325

We had done it.

326

Oh my goodness!

327

We had cleared four champions with some very close calls, but we are all still alive.

328

Now it was time to face the fifth member of the Elite Four.

329

What, you didn't know about the secret fifth boss that's in every Pokemon game?

330

We had one more challenger.

331

Steven.

332

Steven sent out a Skarmory, which was the perfect lightning rod for Picklechew, then Kidmup took out Aggron with Surf, and my son defeated Cradle-E with Irontail.

333

Then Steven sent out a Metagross, and things got messy.

334

I thought Kidmup Surf would be super effective against this rock with legs.

335

Turns out it wasn't.

336

Pfft.

337

Okay, here's what I'm gonna do.

338

I have an idea.

339

I have an idea.

340

Kidmup, if you can last another hit, that would be amazing.

341

Oh, Hyper Beam!

342

Kidmup, my starter Pokémon, had been taken out.

343

At least he got Metagross's health low enough that Floof could easily finish them off.

344

That's it!

345

Then Steven sent out his own King Eater, which I knew from personal experience they hated getting crunched.

346

I know this Pokemon.

347

He hates getting crunched.

348

I don't care about your special defense.

349

You're getting crunched!

350

It's probably because his special defense went up!

351

Floof eventually took down Claydol, even though Steven used a full restore on it three separate times. Of course!

352

Of course you are!

353

STOP IT!

354

Which I get, man.

355

I'm part of the Klaedal Lover community, too.

356

Next was the last Pokémon we needed to defeat.

357

Armaldo.

358

One hit from its ancient power, badly injured Floof.

359

So for this final fight, I sent Goat to finish him off.

360

Goat, because he's so awesome, poisoned Armaldo just by standing next to him, and then promptly sky-uppercutted him straight in the jaw, just barely knocking him out.

361

Armaldo was clinging onto life when the unthinkable happened.

362

Armaldo knew a bird move.

363

NOOOOO!

364

NOOOOO!

365

NOOOOO!

366

Goat had made it so far into our journey, only to faint inches away from the finish line.

367

I could have sent out a level 5 Zigzagoon

368

and still would have won because Armaldo died to poison on the very next turn.

369

The poison's gonna finish it off!

370

Right?

371

I didn't even have to- No!

372

No!

373

Not GOAT!

374

By all accounts, GOAT had defeated Armaldo, but- But he didn't make it!

375

And neither did Kidmup!

376

That was my starter and my favorite Pokemon!

377

No!

378

No!

379

I don't want this trophy!

380

I want Goat and Tin Moth!

381

Colleagues, friends, Wall-E, we gather together to honor two of the bravest Pokemon I know.

382

One of them from the humble town of Little Root, and the other from a patch of grass in Petalburg Woods.

383

Together, they faced gyms, rivals, and a plethora of wild Pokemon.

384

And when the final challenge came, they didn't back down.

385

This sucks!

386

I hated that!

387

And that's how my first Nuzlocke went.

388

Dude!

389

Dude!

390

Dude!

391

Drew Wumpels, dude.

392

Dude, dude.

393

Dude!

394

Dude!

395

Dude!

396

Dude!

397

Dude!

398

Dude!

399

Nothing, dude.

400

Dude!

401

Oh, dude!

402

Stop falling in love!

403

No!

404

That title's so bad, dude!

405

Fy is lava, dude.

406

Go give him a chance to recover, dude!

407

Dude!

408

Dude!

409

Dude!

410

Dude?

411

Dude, stop it.

412

Mash their skull in, dude.

413

Mmm, that was my psychic ice type, dude.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
