lol even bretts tired of the salt, whenever something doesnt go alexs way

Cameron Baldwin

Just so you know, Alex. You have two Draculas

Bryan JobeE

I don't ever comment, but I do want to say that you're a king, Alex. You guys should do what you want to do. As long as it's genuine, that's what matters. We love the commentary, the salt, and everything else that the beards bros do.

Cmon Alex we get that losing a guy sucks, but that’s what you signed up for. I wouldn’t be a patron if I hadn’t started this let’s play. I’m really enjoying it as well. So don’t be so down on yourself.

Edward Eagerton

Holy shit I wish I could just cut Alex's side of the screen off and mute him at this point. His nonstop whining/negativity has pushed me to my limit. I haven't cared about his play style or how cautious he wants to be at all up til now but the constant whining is just too much to handle.

Michael Notkin

Alex, someone is always going to say you're playing the game wrong because some people are assholes. Most of us come here to watch two (three with Ted) guys having fun, talking about random shit, and playing Pokemon. Just do that and don't worry about the rest.

Frankie Peach

I think Alex needs a break from let's plays.

I feel for Alex man, it’s already not easy to grind (especially in HGSS) when your on the couch and can put on some TV. Now imagine doing that in an environment were you know people are going to scrutinize your every move even though all your trying to do is make good content for them. Personally I’m loving every moment of this series it’s what even got me to join the Patreon so I don’t care how long we are in the cave, it’s been fun and it will continue to be fun because it’s clear Alex, Brett, and Ted are doing their best to make this a good show. I just think some viewers should consider what they write and how it effects people, like have y’all considered that Alex isn’t being salty but that your comments are making the experience less enjoyable for him? Idk I just think my man gets to much shit for just trying to make some good content.

Atm not much is happening in either game, maybe they should make the eps 30 mins instead of 20 default for a bit even though some run a bit longer naturally which I appreciate them allowing without cutting them short. I dunno play how you want to play, I think some people are a bit frustrated waiting a while for new eps for not much progress to be made

I think the majority of the people who watch your videos now just enjoy listening to you talk to each other about whatever you're playing. It's like hanging out with friends. I do think Alex needs to reflect and ease up on the self-deprication. The speed up isn't cheating. If he feels like getting a couple of new pokemon, I say check out Slowpoke Cave, do the Dragon Master quiz, and get the 3 password eggs.

Brett did a good job not being harsh and trying to keep stuff calm and obviously alex was trying not to be too disappointed at first. I dont want the bros to not have fun but there will NEVER be a point where nobody is mad at any one of them. theyre all hosts of internet shows and on the internet there is everyone and there will always be people like the karen who was mad at Kellz' blue hair brett always implies this but idk if he says it outright off camera but rly the only way to not have a crisis every episode is to disengage with the hate even from patrons while still being present in the community. Alex informed my identity on LaNoire so idk we dont allll hate you

Snonk

The thing as well is that Alexs attitude and basically everything hes saying I can remember going back to at LEAST Dark Souls 3. That was 5 years ago. Whatever hes doing to address or cope with this clearly isnt working

Rocky

Lol what an interesting analysis. If Alex really does take this sorta shit personally, I sympathise with him…. But part of me believes it’s a bit. As a fellow early to mid-30s guy, I know I’d be like, playing up the anger and upset but at the end of the day, it’s just a fucking game and commenters don’t matter. Particularly juvenile ones haha 😂

Joel

I have consistently enjoyed watching this series, through all the ups and downs. What I get out of it is listening to a trio of extremely entertaining folks, playing a game that I love. If we have back-to-back episodes where Alex is just training his Mons and Brett is doing his thing, I'm happy. When Alex gets his chance to run at the Elite Four and break into the end game I'll be ecstatic. If getting there means grinding off camera, instituting some new clauses to ease the tension I'm good with it and have seen other YouTubers do that and more. If none of those options are taken because the Bros don't think it would be fun, I'll be fine with that too. I just wanna listen to these boys enjoy the game they are playing and I'll be sticking with the series until they decide it isn't working for them anymore. Thanks!

Didn't Alex name two Pokemon Dracula back to back as a bit? I think Brett even said that that's going to come back to bite him, and ohmygod I hope I'm remembering that right! Now I just want to see an edit of that and the cut to xx months later and Alex's rediscovering the other Dracula. XD P.S.- Certain commenters, please just be a bit more chill. If Alex is showing frustration with the negativity he receives and you come here to dump on him with MORE negativity then seriously check yourself. You're just being part of the problem.

Korbo

Don't worry *your* whining is just a pleasure to read.

Korbo

How does a show as chill as beard bros even have commenters that are THIS level of assholes? Guys, you Suck as fans. Alex, not that you need to care what any of us thinks or says (just because the vocal commenters say something doesn't mean that's what everyone else is thinking), but personally I'm fine with you playing the game in Whatever way makes it fun to you. The point of doing a nuzlocke is to make the game more fun by adding a challenge, not to make it boring and stressful while jerks yell at you for farming exp. Sure it might be a bit frustrating to watch someone train for days on end but that's why we have two screens, and bro we're at episode 90, whoever's complaining about training at this point needs to reassess some life choices.

I watch a lot of Pokemon challenges and nuzlockes on Twitch and YouTube. There's usually a few different ways they approach grinding- almost all of them use the speed up feature, and those that don't will cheat in rare candies because the grinding aspect isn't fun for them. Anyone can sit and grind for hours, yes there can be accidents like what happened today, but that's not the entertaining part for the player or audience, especially if it means that the player isn't having fun. If you legitimately have fun grinding at normal speed and just talking with Brett and Ted, then do that and we'll be here to support you, but if you're reaching burn out level and aren't enjoying the process, then crank up the speed or cheat in some rare candies. We all know people will be complaining one way or the other, so it's always best to go about things in a way where you personally enjoy the process.

Edit: Posted my comment before it was done by accident! Honestly guys I think it's in your best interest to A. Do what is fun and B. To get past the grinding saga as it seems to be grating on you guys as well as the fans. Be it rare candies, giving Alex a mon back, fast forward, whatever the heck. I know that will hurt some sense of nuzlocke integrity people are on about. I also totally respect if that is something you cherish and want. Like I'm sure if Alex was doing his own private nuzlocke he'd have fun doing the grinding. But I think it is stressing you guys and setting off some viewers and almost everyone would be fine with some kind of intervention like when Brett turned to the safari zone. Just some kind of veto on the rules to help things along a bit either way I love your guys content and I'm having fun either way but I hate seeing you guys stressed out. It feels like Alex is not having fun, instead playing under duress of the fans. Like every minute of grinding is someone angerly staring at him and every second he's not spending going to the elite four is making more vitriol. He's not having fun and they aren't either. It just seems like a bad place to be. If it's all a bit ignore me cause admittedly this episode was fun I just can't condone it if it's actually bothering you!

Ronnie Patrick

Man, do you know how many games I've watched you play that I didn't give two shits about? I can't speak for everyone else, but what's happening on screen is just a prompt for fun banter and conversation more than anything in my eyes. You do whatever you want. Just chill and chat. Have a good time. That's what makes you guys unique.

tangential

Love you beard bros, I really watch just to hear you two or three good friends chat with each other while they play games. Like someone else mentioned, I've watched you play tons of games I don't really care about simply because I like watching and listening to the beard bros -- not because I'm invested in the game. It's about the banter and the conversation, not about the Pokemon or the nuzlocke for me.

Joseph Zappia

I love watching you guys play even if it is just grinding. We come here for you guys. I find it rather relaxing to just sit back and chill with these videos playing. It can be hard ignore negative comments but some people hate to hate so just do you and we will support you for it.

I dont read all of the Patron comments, but if he were reading these instead of Youtube's I think he'd an overall better experience with it. The people leaving bad comments on youtube are either tuning in once and have no investment or context of the beard bros, or don't actually mean anything they are saying and are just there to get a rise out of Alex.

DoubleO DoubleA Studios

Personally, as someone who puts a lot of investment into their own games of Pokemon, I couldn't care less about how other people play. I never understood the logic of making someone play the way you would, especially in the case of youtube. The whole point of this transaction is that you're watching a game you enjoy be played differently, making a combination of choices you'd never make. I enjoy Super Beard Bros for the conversations along the way and very rarely avoid content based on the game they're playing (And I think that that's influenced by their choice of games, which I have mostly similar interests in.) Alex can play however he wants because it's his game and his show. If the comments on these videos are what's ruining the experience then there really is only one thing left to do.

Ben Knight

The beard bra? Yeh I'd buy it for my girl breh. Like it's just the beards from the logo? Pure gold homie.

Wesley Kennedy

The grinding in hg/ss has always been the worst. Alex should just cheat tbh.

Connor Reed

Listening to Alex spiral into despair genuinely stresses me out and brings me close to tears

Zee

Alex is too freaking invested. Just let things play out.

AwfulPossum

absolutely this. My wife and I could listen to the Beard Bros talk about anything. They have such great conversations. It's just a fun, relaxing time.

Dio

I am having withdrawals from this gift from god. Alex if your listening I'll build an effigy to you if only one new ep of this would drop.

c_t

I love you Alex but my man you gotta quit paying mind to the vocal minority. Real criticisms are one thing but people mindlessly hating and trolling is just part of the internet and you gotta ignore that shit brother, or else you're just gonna be down on yourself every time something like this happens. Shit happens in a nuzlocke and people who don't get that sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, whether that be grinding or taking risks, don't have a valid opinion on the matter.
