History YMMV / Alpharad

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: His ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' playthrough got a lot of flack from commenters regarding his reactions to the Starfall Street storyline, as his decision to skip through the dialogue meant he ended up getting the ''exact opposite'' interpretation of the characters than he was supposed to.[[labelnote:Explanation ('''SPOILERS''')]]In the game, it's made clear that the Team Star leaders only turned out the way they did because they got a HeroWithBadPublicity reputation after standing up to their bullies, hence Clavell's decision to give them an {{Unishment}} at the end; ignoring the dialogue meant Jacob missed this entirely and ended up seeing them as SpoiledBrat delinquents who [[KarmaHoudini bizarrely weren't punished for their actions]]. He also assumed the same of Penny after she admitted to using illegal methods to gift the player their LP, missing Clavell saying that it's simply out of his jurisdiction to punish her for that, not that she wouldn't get punished at all.[[/labelnote]] It got to the point that Jacob ended up posting an apology in the comments of the video that covered the Starfall Street finale.

* FandomRivalry: Jacob has a joking and friendly rivalry with the pro Nuzlocker Jan, aka Pokémon Challenges, as Jan constantly posts reactions of Jacob's Nuzlockes where he critiques his skills and playing ability, while he also admits that Jacob's just funnier and a better script writer than he is. This led to Jacob making videos in response, such as one where he played using Jan's advice to show he was capable and that this play style is boring, and another where he reacted to Jan's reaction of him. The two would eventually do an actual collab together and do a [=SoulLink=] Nuzlocke of ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', burying the apparent hatchet. The two would also learn from each other after this, as Jacob's skill with Nuzlockes have improved considerably since the start of his rivalry/friendship with Jan, jokingly calling himself "the Nuzlocke King", while Jan's video editing and comedic timing also improved a lot after interacting with Jacob with so much.
