My rule for castform has always been that it counts for normal, water, ice and fire monotype playthroughs. It isn't the strongest pokemon out there, and you need all the help you can get in these types of things. Maybe thats cheatsy, maybe it's lame. But hey, if you can sweep with another powerful pokemon anyway, who cares? just have fun and use the little cloud.

Really nice to see your channel grow. I can see the effort you put in editing these so you absolutely deserve the support. Also heartbreaking seeing Treeko come back only to be shunned in the box forever lol
I love normal types so much, so this video is one of my favorites. I know you personally don't see a lot of excitement in them, but for me, almost every normal type Pokemon is like a wild animal, much more than the other types. It's like playing with a zoo.
Also I’m sorry you have to deal with assholes stopping you from using castform when ya know, the main point is fun and interesting entertainment not rules lawyering

Man I love going back and watching your old Nuzlockes. Really shows how much you have grown as a creator, though these older Nuzlockes are still very entertaining as well! Sam the Vigoroth is definitely one of the 'mons you've had that deserve to be in a FlygonHD Hall of Fame.
To see all these new fans and subscribers(I’m one of them) makes me so happy, it’s really clear how much effort and time are put into these videos, I just really enjoy watching them. Thanks so much for all the hard work FlygonHG!
Here I am just gobbling up every single one of your Nuzlockes. I've watched 'em all. Love seeing them in this format, a touch of genius. Well played sir!
Yes I love seeing normals get some love! Honestly my favorite type these days, they’re so versatile. I’m attempting a normal type only Nuzlocke of black and its super punishing to have even one Pokémon die. Would love to see you try it one day.
Man, you are a class above me right now. I'm on Attempt 7 on a Platinum HC Nuzlocke after wiping to Candace the last time. Keep up the grind, love your Nuzlockes
I've become so addicted to your videos, you are by far one of the best Poketubers, you explain everything so meticulously simple, and you're not repeating the exact same line over and over in your videos. I really hope you continue creating content, you're the best ❤️👍
Legit feels like only a few weeks since I stumbled upon this channel at 3k subs and thought "wait why the hell doesn't this person have more subs? This shit rules." and here you are at 20k, you're doing a damn good job :D
I didn’t realise you just started uploading this year holy crap! Clear to see you’re doing amazing keep posting and the numbers will only go up. Congrats man!
I've never audibly said 'no' to one of these videos but the death of Tom hurt me. Swellow is one of my all time favorite Pokemon. (so is Stuffel and Staraptor). Swellow has always helped me in gen 3--I knew as soon as I saw counter---Swellow is dead. Still makes me upset.
A challenging specific idea would be to only use middle staged evolutions in a nuzlocke! A gen 4 game would probably work best because a 3rd stage is added to a lot of pokemon, which created more middle stage pokemon
I have watched all your videos in a span of a few days... I really hope you get the attention you deserve, the content you create is not only top quality, but super informative! (I'm doing a nuzlocke of Platinum right now, and all the tips you give have saved me multiple pokemon from being permaboxed).
Outside of Sapphire cause nostalgia, I've never been able to enjoy pre gen4 cause physical/special split. But seeing people like you enjoy it and do so good at it, helps me appreciate it even more. Great one as always!
20:32 Your channel blew up because its just really fun to watch. Everything about your pacing and style is good: your editing to focus on the important aspects (while not leaving the viewer totally lost), your explanations are always easy to follow, and your jokes usually land. (And duh, its a long video with good viewer retention because of this, meaning youtube will want to recommend it.)
I started watching your channel a couple of days ago in my opinion your content is amazing and it's refreshing to finally have a pokemon youtuber I can watch, with that said my suggestion for a video would be a mono bug run of hoenn based off the fact that there isn't that much variety to pick from, the moves are shallow and they lose to a lot of the type specialists there keep up the great work
I hope your channel keeps blowing up like this, you really deserve it! I hope for all the best. The hard work and effort you put into your runs is amazing, they are all fantastic!
this was amazing!!!!!! i've played pokemon since i was five but i never really saw the joy of challenges and nuzlockes. but this one looked really really cool. also thank you for using bob. i'm lame and my favorite all time pokemon is zigzagoon. i'll definitely check out more of your videos! :)))
oh man, this was such a great vid. Wasn't expecting all the wild move combinations that you were using throughout (Substitute/Belly Drum/Secret Power, etc). Gonna keep an eye on your stuff, this sir eally fun.
I'm playing my first nuzlocke and it's on Omega Ruby. I was at the second gym and was worried but using the guts strategy was brilliant! Thanks and great vid!
i feel like that slakoth is literally one of the most threating pokemon in the game because no-one expects it to have counter and just kill your pokemon
Yes ! Normal is my favorite Pokémon type, I love seeing it get some representation ♥ Also, how bored do people have to be to badger someone over rules they decided for themselves ?
So I was checking through typings to find a good typing that would be challenging and fun to play, and it turns out that there are only three different poison types in Unova. I really want to see you try it, but either way, I still think I will.

“Girafarij”.
