"Rat, our first death" I don't know if the Spearow erasure is intentional but it makes it all the funnier
I think he wasn’t counting him because it was a sac
spearow? more like spearwho.
he didnt say first death though, he was saying that his first pokemon he obtained died
well it could also be since besides bulbasaur, rat was his first pokemon which is why he said something like “the pain of losing your first pokemon”
@@davidkim8071 Bulbasaur didn't count as it's not a normal type, and therefore not a true team member
The Concerto de Lax was such a treat. Once again FlygonHG unnecessarily goes above and beyond for his videos and I love it
AltariaHG*
I freaking laughed out loud during that bit. The amount of random too-high-effort jokes in you videos is just a brilliant cherry on top of a great Poketuber.
It moved me to tears. 🤣
What is the song at 17:14? I have heard it before but can’t for the life of me remember where it’s from. Is it Pokémon mystery dungeon? I love that song lol
@@AsapRockyOG Hall of Fame from fire red/leaf green
i love the dialogue box that appears after trading the spearow
its the little details that makes these videos so entertaining
@@FlygonHG That poor girl
7:41
I must be dull because I don't know what you mean? What dialogue box?
Is he sleeping? Haha I actually considered if she says that in the real game, until I realised this is his Uncle Jimtendos version.
This is the hardest I've laughed in a long time
I can’t believe the budget was good enough to afford both a conductor AND a virtuoso recorder player, glad to see flygonHG growing the way he does
As good as the concerto was, I think there might be some trickery afoot with the video FlygonHG used. I don't know, the conductor and the floutist look suspiciously similar.....
@@edgarroberts8740 do you mean to say that they were in two places at the same time? ... i doubt it
@@edgarroberts8740 they’re twins who both got into the music business, ez
@@tuskoub Don't ruin the magic, that's like talking about Fight Club
Always a pleasure to see a new AltariaHG video.
Fk i wanted to comment that xD
Oh and did you see the new video of salamenceHG?
I prefer garchompHG
😂
GoodraHG is always better
A cinematic masterpiece, duck and rat were perfectly shown as the powerhouse that they are.
I think the thing I appreciate the most about FlygonHG as a pro Nuzlocker is that when a Pokemon does well, even after doing challenges over and over again, he still takes the time to admire their performance and shows genuine attachment to them even when they go down expectedly.
I love Nuzlockes mostly for that emotional element and I'm always happy to see it incorporated in these videos. Rip Rat, you are a goated AF Pokemon.
What about duck
“He’s not even shirtless in this game, so my fragile masculinity isn’t even in danger.”
I love your jokes AltariaHG.
That’s not his name?? It’s not AltariaHG it’s SalamenceHG
@@justin12378 but... that's not his name? He's NoivernHG
@@elmago2808 Guys guys, its clearly GardevoirHG
@@elmago2808 C'mon, why not DragoniteHG
@@balefire384 Isn't it GarchompHG?
Fun fact: in the original game the nickname of the traded Farfetch’d was DUX, but it was changed in Ch’ding in gen 3 because “Dux” was the word Italians used to refer to Benito Mussolini during fascism
Actually Benito was called Duce which comes from Dux
@@vitormanuel9889 yes, Dux is the Latin word for “Duce”, and it was also used to refer to Mussolini. A popular fascist motto was (and sadly still is) “Dux mea lux”, which in Latin translates into “Duce my light”
@@francescomoretti934he sure did end up as a nice addition to a light fixture though
DUX is latin, italian is duce
Still doesn't explain the complete garble that is "Ch'ding" as a name, though.
You always add entertaining quirks into your Nuzlocke videos (like the ongoing Nosepass letter saga and this time, you and your double playing the recorder) and I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos!
Honestly the nosepass letter is the one of the reasons I get excited at any rse or oras playthrough on this channel.
Is the instructor or the musician the double? That’s the real question
My favorite was the love letter between two attracted pokemon. Lovedisk and champerupt
puppet show diantha fight
The editing, the script, the recorder solo! I think this is the best video you've done so far
Am ded, you're welcome big fan I've seen near every video 🥺 inspired me to fail my own nuzlockes while watching. Keep up the great content!
Nothing beats the first Kalos champion fight reconstruction. For some reason I also really like the Duplo Druddigon jokes.
Oooh, for me it’s tough to decide the best HG video. Babies, Smeargle, Cute Pokémon, and the severely underrated Fighting only run. Y’all… whether or not you watched fight club it’s sooo good.
I wanted to comment this but you beat me to it.
In my opinion there is a noticeable improvement in the script and the editing of this one. Gj @FlygonHG, this could be the new standard of the channel.
Making a Fire Red run entertaining is nothing short of impressive.
@@FlygonHG Love your videos, but I would doubly love it if you would include what the different natures do when you discuss them. Maybe it would take up a bit more time in the videos, but I am sure many others like myself have never bothered to learn which does which and it would really help understand how good or bad certain encounters are! Just an idea!
I physically teared up during that incredible performance of Concerto De Lax. Not only was that flute player phenomenal, but the composition itself was just so tear-jerking. This has saved my life, and my marriage
4:33 I was expecting a MDB style joke about the helix fossil, and was actually caught off guard by the lack of it xD
I just want to say I appreciate how you manage to keep a positive, non cynical attitude as you do nuzlocks week after week. The fact that you work on unique jokes like the pokeflute concert and nosey saga for each game is awesome.
24:13 for anyone familiar with the original Nuzlocke webcomic, this sort of melodrama perfectly captures the spirit of the run that started it all.
Also I'm aware this is my third comment, but I just love how much more of your personality comes through your videos nowadays. The Concerto De Lax is something I know I wouldn't get from any other Nuzlocketuber.
For real
These videos keep my Pokémon addiction alive since I never seem to have the time to play myself. Great work!
Just use rare candies on an emulator! I just completed a fire red hardcore Nuzlocke in 2 days
23:52
I love the Encanto reference. Really made me chuckle for a minute
We will remember Duck, Rat, and the rest even if it’s only in our wildest dreams. Great job AltariaHG, there’s nothing you did better than revenge!!
RAT POWER
as always, this video was amazing, and seeing the ways you strategize with your limitations makes me want to try these challenges too!!!!
bewear has made me so attached to normal types so this is actually super cool. I thought I wouldnt see another normal monolocke for waay longer
Yeah beware is awesome used on in sword since shiny and kicks ass. Also used one in ultra moon.
@@thesnowyzorua378 its so fun to just say no to type matchups and spam STAB Return. especially with the ability fluffy, you can kind of brute force a lot
It’s the other way for me. Bewear made me love fighting types so much lol
@@kuyaboben5300 i do appreciate the rock resist since I tend to use bugs which dont like rock
Best bug for me is ariados.
I actually considered trying this one some time ago, but went with flying instead. There is a lot of overlap between these two though, especially in this gen
That's always an issue I had with GF's pokedesign. Too much overlap with normal and flying types when the two could have so much potential
@@skaronxavier1468 for sure. I might try a pure normal run in Kanto at one point. I’ve considered it
@@NuzlockeJoe try a pure normal run in emerald! It's so fun! Guts Swellow! Belly drum linoone! Hard hittin' big Monke who can one shot some mons and finally the explosion exploud! Normal type is quite lame and boring but the pokemons are really strong and have so good coverage
I did a Flying Nuzlocke in Fire Red some time last year too! It was a fun and nostalgic run
@@MoxieInfernape all the nostalgia
This is the best Nuzlocke video I've ever watched. It shows off RAT POWER amazingly.
Good lord, I can't believe a freakin' 2nd hand mallard carried you all the way to the end! You are truly a pokemon master
i truly appreciate your commitment to getting a taylor swift lyric into each of your videos, and the way you manage to do it so seamlessly. if i wasn't a walking encyclopedia of all things tswift i'm not sure i'd even notice!
So I wasn't the only one. :D
NO WAYYYYY I literally JUST started this run on my totally real game boy, I'm at the third gym now.
Edit - I also really thought the first gym would be a lot harder than it ended up being.. that was a huge confidence boost for this run
It's things like the Concerto de Lax that put this channel head and shoulders above others for Nuzlocke content
My night was Not Great and then I saw AltariaHG posted a new video. By the time Brock rolled around and you began the revolution, threw your hands up and didn't give in, I was smiling. Thanks for the mood boost. You're my favorite Poketuber. Probably my favorite RUclipsr to be honest.
Without even watching the video I'm here to preach about Gen 3 Farfetche'd
Swords Dance
Fly
Return
Slash
W/ stick he actually hits like a truck with a 50% crit rate.
Same with Guts Raticate. Choose it over Tauros during my monotype playthrough and it slays.
wait, but on gen 3 the crit boosts were lower tho, Farfetch'd with Stick only got +2 crit, which translates to 25% crit rate that can go up to +3 using Slash but that also only translates to 33% crit rate, on gen 3 through 5 it goes something like this:
+0 crit = 1/16 (6.25%)
+1 crit = 1/8 (12,5%)
+2 crit = 1/4 (25%)
+3 crit = 1/3 (33,3%)
+4 or more crit = 1/2 (50%)
Thats cool and all but theres better options than Farfetch'd lol. I agree about Raticate tho
Misty would’ve been harder if she had a laprah
I would say that lapras in the 2nd gym is a bit overkill but i mean she has fricking starmie so.
@@mrpiccionedivino5598 But Starmie with Psychic or a psychic move though would be something, especially for Bulbs
@@mrpiccionedivino5598 aw hell naw what's a Lapras?!! all my homies know it's laprAH
Here's an idea: Stone Evolutions only. So Pokémon that evolve through Fire Stones, Moon Stones, etc. Given that most Pokémon that evolve through stones stop learning moves through levels once evolved, it could be an interesting balance (save for TMs, of course).
I thought FireRed/LeafGreen were good choices, but I guess the Nidorans can only be caught before Brock in Gen 1 (I guess Pikachu is an option, but not really, let's be honest). Perhaps Emerald would be a better option?
What do you mean, not an option? Just use the sprinklers /s
I like this idea but aside from brock being a challenge, I could see it being a pretty straightforward nidoking/queen sweep through the rest of the game. maybe in a different game. emerald could actually be interesting since you’d get skitty, lotad, and seedot all before roxanne, then the only other ones I can even think of are jigglypuff (which iirc isn’t until you get surf after norman), pikachu in the safari zone, and vulpix in mt. pyre. so a good number of options really, but nothing so overpowered that it would be too straightforward.
edit: I guess you could count oddish if you end up turning it into bellossom but that feels against the spirit of the challenge
@@daniel6678 Yeah, Nidoking was also a worry from the original game. That's one evolution stone Pokémon you can evolve early and rely on TMs for the rest of the run. Maybe if you made it Pokémon that can only evolve through stones? But on further thought, Emerald would be much better.
You wouldn't get both Lotad and Seedot before Roxanne, though. They're both on the same route, and then you'll have to wait until later to get the other. Most likely you'll get Lotad.
@@daniel6678 what's the problem with oddish, leaf stone for vileplume and sun for bellossom.
@@wedge6195 lol I forgot vileplume wasn’t a level-up evo
Amazing performance on the concerto de lax, the editing was great, I'm always looking forward to whatever fun sketch you decide to add to the videos and I'm never disappointed 👏👏
Words cannot describe how much I enjoy your content. After a gruelling day in the office, being able to peacefully relax and rewatch my childhood games is a luxury I'm extremely grateful for. Your personality and wit are such a treat. I wish you the best in life, thank you for the content you put out.
A Concerto de Lax is the work of art great enough to rival the finale of any Kalos Nuzlocke
Concerto De Lax was an absolute masterpiece, brought me to tears. Looking forward to the next music video Dr. HG !
I think I will never emotionally recover from the loss of Duck. What a legend
This nuzlocke was a roller coaster of emotions... The flute, Rat, Duck, that ugly bird at the beginning...
Absolutely loved the concerto de lax. The execution and commitment is always top tier.
Would love to see a fighting type nuzlocke, since they're pretty frail. I'll leave the generation up to you, since the type coverage is incredibly limited in earlier gens.
"Thank you! ... is he asleep?" BEAUTIFUL, what a lovely little touch. Thank you, Uncle Jimtendo!
EDIT: I commented too early and I MUST commend that Pokeflute section, it was so much more than I ever dreamed of
The flute part absolutely caught me off guard but goodness how I enjoy when you incorporate these elaborate jokes! Your narration through these videos is always not only fun, but a show of skill and an entertaining story to follow. Thank you for another great run, AltariaHG :D
I love the fact that ever time he says Uh… Bear?’s name it just sounds like he’s forgetting snorlax’s name
I remember trying this challenge a few years back but I tried like 4 times and could never beat it. Cool to see this one
I need tissues to clear my tears from the excellency that i have witnessed 12:30, truly a masterpiece of music.
I’m so happy for this run…so many of my favorites are normal type and are constantly overlooked…and this run did them justice
Hey Flygon! Been a regular viewer of your channel since your first couple videos and I still come back here for your humor, playstyle and the random funny bits you do every now and then. :) I was wondering if you were able to make adjustments to your overlay to show held items? I feel like this would be useful for those of us who wanna learn from your runs. Thank you very much for all your hard work and all the best to your little family. ❤️
I just completed a regular hardcore Nuzlocke of fire red and it was blast! Your runs have been a huge inspiration
This is definitely one of my favorite Nuzlocke's so far. I recently discovered your channel and absolutely love Nuzlocke videos, especially when they are as well made as yours.
My favorite part about this is the love and admiration you have for Duck. Thanks for the content brother, keep em coming.
I found your channel the other day, and it's the PERFECT stuff to listen to while working on stuff. You talk in a very pleasant way, and your thorough description of everything that happens means I don't have to watch carefully. Love it!
Great job Dr. HG! You really almost understood what a conductor's hand movements mean!
I did a normal type playthrough of White 2 (not a nuzlocke) and it just solidified my appreciation of the normal type. Looking forward to see how this run goes.
Man, your videos do not disappoint! Each one has its own personality. Happy I’ve been around for 9+ months
I literally don't understand how your videos just continually get better and better. You're unfathomably talented, hilarious, and just all around based. It's a gift that creators like you exist on this platform.
fantastic video as always, concerto de lax was an incredible masterpiece
Maybe it's just my weakened immune system, but the deaths in this Nuzlocke actually brought real tears to my eyes
duck dying made me shed a tear i cant lie
Thank you for making such high quality Pokémon vids. I know lots of us find comfort in your videos after long, shitty days at work/school, so thanks for making content for us!
I can't express how much I enjoy your content - having watched you for so long now it's even greater as I see these videos constantly improve when even if they didn't because this level of consistently entertaining content is unparalleled in all of my long long subscriber list! May the spirit of Rat and Duck live on forever!
FlygonHG trading the dead spearow to the little girl reminds me of the movie Dumb and Dumber where they sold a dead parrot to the poor blind kid 😭
Lmfao
Fun to see also duck in a nuzlocke, they are so uncommon to these challenges.
This is one of the best nuzlocke videos you've done! Amazing storytelling and editing! Love the humor and drama!
That performance of Concerto De Lax… Astounding! Absolutely beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes! I can’t wait to hear what other masterpieces you perform
As a Farfetch'd connoisseur, I appreciate all the love for Duck in this video.
I remember when you had your first normal run and you named your Pokémon Sally, Bill, Joe, Anna. Maybe I’m completely wrong. But in my mind, I’m completely right. ❤️ Sally the Skitty was my favorite even though she was literally worthless
Love your cutting style (like the clean transition when you Change the Pokemon in fights) and the flute clip was genius
That flute concert made me feel things! Never have I ever been so moved by the power of music before!
What a plain and normal run.
I was sad because of Rat Power's finale... and then... 12:15 happened.
You take what is playing an easy and beloved game to another level. I am happy I decided to watch this, very entertaining.
Edit: what is the song at 16:54? Thanks!:)
N's unwavering emotions :)
RAT POWER
Concerto de Lax is the top tier RUclips experience that I always get from this channel. Bravo!
I love how the nicknames were so original ❤️ such effort and thought... You are truly the best
The fact that you put out videos that are funny, wholesome, and progressive (love the use of ‘them’ pronoun, and uplifting the strength it takes to do ballet) is impressive and makes my day. Keep it up AltariaHG!
You have the best nuzlockes. Also first
I don't think I've ever had so much fun watching a video, your narration and bits just keep getting funnier every time
What a beautiful performance!! Loved all the editing in this one, really enjoying the videos and humor lately

Thank you👍
it's a small and seemingly unimportant detail, but i really do appreciate that you use they/them pronouns for genderless pokemon! always nice to see people working to normalize they/them pronouns, even in little ways like this :-)
These monotype nuzlockes are always really cool! I'm also excited to see that you've been streaming some more rom hack content on twitch, stoked to see how you parse some of the harder games like Radical Red and Emerald Kaizo down the line.
FlygonHG: I lost my Raticate.
Blue: First time?
I haven't seen so many Ghosts in a Normal-type Nuzlocke since Silph Spectre's Pokemon Platinum Normal-type hardcore Nuzlocke, btw, i prefer to think that you didn't gived Sparrow's corpse to that children but actually that was just Sparrow trying to guarrantie that his sucessor would be just good has it could have been! But now... both the sucessor and his predicessor are resting in peace with their's fallen teammates.😇😔
-R.I.P. buddies.
Your videos are always a blast to watch! With your commentary embedded to your fabulous gameplay I always find myself enjoying your content. Keep up the good work!
7:42 “Thank You!……is he asleep?”😂
Everything is so interesting and creative in your video--the run itself, the script, the editing, plus you make such a cool addition like puppet show or (this time) The Concerto de Lax! Awesome!
I never used Porygon on Fire Red, so it's kinda interesting watching your strategy using Porygon.
This is definitely your best video so far, production value through the roof.
I use your naming convention for litetally every normal type I use. I love it.
Loved the editing here, your videos are a bright spot every week :)
We don’t deserve FlygonHg great Pokémon game play, cinematography extraordinaire, and now musician!!! This man’s a triple threat for sure!!! Great video as always Flygon
Flygon HG’s scripts remain goated. Most fun nuzlocke videos to watch for sure. Great at what you do!
Was… not expecting what happens in this video, but I’m very glad that it did. Beautiful playing, HG. Just gorgeous.
Bravissimo, Doc. The Pokeflute concerto was an excellent touch
I love watching your videos. Thank you for all your hard work, and I can't wait to watch you nuzlocke the new pokemon games when they come out!!!! 🤩🤩
the concerto de lax is the sort of thing that makes you above and beyond 'just a nuzlocke youtuber', great video!
I appreciate the effort that went in to this one. Loved the gig. Let us know when you're touring the UK
FlygonHG’s video: come for the awesome nuzlocking tactics, stay for the production value and deep philosophical moments, return for the hilarious humour. Loved this episode.
It's always fun seeing you do a challenge I've done in the past because I get to see new strategies that I didn't think of
7:40 “Uh… yea, yup, he’s restin’! Pinin’ for the fjords, you know how it is. Remarkable bird, the Spearow, beautiful plumage.”
The script was especially funny this time! Good job man, I laughed pretty much :D
Edit: I'ld love another Normal Type challenge, tbh. Maybe 2nd Gen, but I havent looked at the list of available PkMn yet though :'D
I had that idea today to do a nuzlock with only normal types and I wanted to check your channel cause I know if anyone has done this and got a great video, that has to be you. Thank you so much for the video
Dude the Duck euology and music set up was masterful! Never thought a pokemon run would make you care about the little critters kudos on the great vid my man
Such a beautiful recorder concert and the mono type run of course but man that was a super special and harmonical performance just great MR PhD flygonHG
twelve have mercy, this is one of your best videos yet!
great great job, mister altariaHG
Very slightly bothered by Bird x3 instead of Ostrich or Ostrich x3 for Doduo.
Genuinely the most entertaining nuzlocker out there, this was hilarious!
nothing better that getting home and smoke while watching one of flygon’s videos. Best part of the day.
