Pokémon Challenges
Jan Krüger[3] (/ˈjɑːn/ YAHN; born 16 May 1995),[4] better known as Pokémon Challenges or pChal, is a German streamer and YouTuber, known for his live streams on Twitch, broadcasting Pokémon content, most notably Nuzlocke challenges. CareerKrüger is known for completing so-called "hardcore" Nuzlocke challenges on Twitch, which are self-imposed challenges of Pokémon games aimed at increasing the difficulty of the game.[5][6] His Nuzlocke challenges include further restrictions compared to the traditional ruleset, such as level caps and no items in battle.[7] In 2016, Krüger completed a permadeath solo run of Pokémon FireRed using only a Rattata, one of the game's weakest characters.[8] Krüger's YouTube and Twitch channels significantly gained traction in 2020, following a reaction video to a Nuzlocke attempt by Jaiden Animations.[5][7] During the same period, Krüger was attempting the Nuzlocke challenge of Pokémon Emerald Kaizo, a ROM hack of Pokémon Emerald, which he beat in 2021.[9] Coincidentally, he completed the challenge in 151 attempts, the exact number of generation I Pokémon.[9] References
