First, sorry you're sick and hope it passes soon! Second, I haven't even watched the whole video but I got so hyped hearing your part in it that I had to scroll down to the comments and then found yours. Excited to see where it all goes!
These gym teams have creative themes. Morty, for example, has Snorlax, Sudowoodo, Kecleon, and Psyduck. Those are the pokemon that block your path in gen 1-4. Kinda thematic that that's the team to block Flygon's path too.
@@roberteospeedwagon8178Might be a theme of holding something for the 2nd gym. Farfetch'd has the leek, Cubone had the bone, and Delibird holds its tail
okay but antlerboy did a great job with those starters. they're thematically accurate and also work as the traditional starter triangle of effectiveness!
@@canadiancanucklehead8310Why not all of these? Ingenious things can also be cruel and unusual. Maybe not ingenious for competitive play, but fantastic for a gym leader in a mod.
@@xRaiofSunshinemaybe Giratina is the top 1% rattata and it was renamed so we never found out because Joey in beta, used to have a Giratina and it was impossible to catch due to not having the realm and Joey is actually from the future from a different region, coming back to test us, so they had to nerf him and give him a normal rattata instead.
The last Sword and Shield gym was a sand team more than it was a dragon team, Sw/Sh in general did a lot of interesting stuff with its gyms, but gym 8 was definitely the most interesting.
I love how the AI drank 3 full bottles of laxative and headed straight to bed as soon as that FEAR Ratatta came out. Truly one of the AI plays of all time.
I love how Morty's team was themed around road blocks: -Sudowoodo blocks the way to Ecruteak itself -Kecleon blocks the way to Fortree Gym -Snorlax blocks the way to Fuschia -Psyduck blocks the way to Celestic Town Very clever!
Lance' team was insane. I've been a viewer since the pandemic (or 2021) and I love these nuzlockes. "It smells like a lugia. It looks like a Lugia. It....tastes like a lugia" was probably the most unexpected bit ever and I find it humorous.
Fun fact: my sisters and I used to play pretend we were the Lake Trio. Gen 4 was our first "new" generation, so we were super hyped for all the new legendaries. I was Uxie, my little sister was Mesprit and my big sister was Azelf. My big sister's name is Laura.
This is a very fun take on randomizers, I want to do a run like this with a friend. Maybe the person building Gym teams could do it in real-time as you play, although idk how possible that is.
Having another person change the leader's teams so that it's not fully random is such an interesting idea. I do see that it can be a bit unbalanced potentially, as with snorlax lol. Fun video either way. Anyway, I would like to once again recommend a no stab moves / bluntmons run of Black / White. September 28th is officially one year since the last no stab moves run in Firered, so I think it would be cool to finally return to the challenge. I'll also recommend adding an extra rule that you have to fight all optional trainers before each gym level cap, which is what I did and I think for this challenge it helps make it even more fun and challenging.
I always get so excited when there’s a video from HGSS! I know they’re frustrating to replay due to the leveling and experience throughout, so they don’t get a ton of videos. Despite that, I truly love these games, so it’s such a treat any time they get featured again. And it’s awesome to see them with a twist to make it more fun for you to play and for people to watch
@@tejasdixit4417 it might be a troll. Since it can only be Griseous Orb or mails. The plates iirc, can be tricked, unless one of either end is Multitype
About Trick, Smallant mentioned in his streams about the escape rooms that it always fails if an NPC uses it. It wasn't documented anywhere and he had to redo some of the puzzles after finding that out in practical tests.
I thought Wingull would be a starter lol. Love seeing the nuzzlockers that I all watched coincidentally at the same time constantly collaborating and referencing each other.
This is one of my favorite videos from you in a long time. I definitely prefer when the theme or twist comes from a gameplay factor rather than a narrative factor.
went to watch this for what i *thought* was the first time, but apparently i've watched it before because i fully remember you talking about the video of the guy named snake blowing up a watermelon with fireworks. and, i *only* remember that, nothing else from this video.
26:10 My buddy and I are going through a Randomized Nuzlocke in LeafGreen, and we encountered Registeel and Regirock during trainer battles. Because we weren't looking up the move lists of the various 'mons we were encountering, we were completely blind sided by Registeel exploding on us (as it's a starting move, and we were facing trainers in their teens and 20s). The instant we saw Regirock come out, we knew someone on our team was going down. I feel your pain.
I really like these voice-over videos and genuinely enjoyed the twist on this challenge, along with your other randomizer challenges in general. Awesome :)
Flygon, silly idea, Nuzlocke using only Rotoms as there appliances, it probably wont be too hard of a challenge, but the story telling ones on the easy challenges are my favorite
Aside from all of the normal gratitudes I would express about how great your content is, I want to say thank you for making videos that are very attention-drawing. Sounds weird when I put it like that, but what I mean is, I woke up in the middle of the night on a work night because my blood sugar was low. Your content was the first thing on my mind to watch while I ate to distract myself from my shaking hands :) thank you for making awesome content, Mr.HG!
Video idea. Coach a player through their first nuzlocke, prepping for gyms, major rival fights, etc. Then, one day, coach and pupil tag team vs another nuzlockr. Love. Keep it up!
I really enjoyed this video, almost as much as I enjoyed the Fire Type Platnium nuzlocke! I really like more creative nuzlockes where you have a lot more to work with but also have quite a lot of challenges, like the one where you couldn’t heal. I’d like to see more creative problem solving rather than just the monotype nuzlockes!
29:03 I legitimately thought the joke here would be that FlygonHG thinks it's an eeveelution team, but then it's just a "waifu mon" meme team, but no it was actually just an eeveelution team
I recently tried a nuzlocke using the opposite attacking type moves only, for example Sobble is better at special than physical so I have to only use physical moves and that’s the case for your whole team
Love your videos man. I work abroad a lot travelling and always bring my DS with me, replaying Pokémon games for that sense of nostalgia and home. And I always look forward to your posts, to play alongside. Thankyou Flygon HG
I remember a while back about a hall of fame themed run with some of the best mons weve seen in these runs being mentioned, if thats still on the table then we absolutely need leandro in there
I too thought that the Celebi might have randomly gotten a Mail or a Griseous Orb But if the teams are made by someone, that might not be the case.. unless its a joke like the Exploding Regirock or Swords Dance Shedinja
Ever think what restarting a run must be like for the gym leaders, particularly the one you lost to? If the game was real life, no only would it be the erasure of their whole existence (to be replaced with a new version of themselves, but then the new version with a, seemingly, complete stranger coming out of nowhere seeking revenge.
This was awesome! I love this idea, it opens up so many avenues for collaboration between Poketubers and we can see what ideas they had while making these teams.
I love your content. A random side note, a snake is a type of firework. You light one end, it burns to the other end, and then it uncoils like a snake.
Just as there is a reality where Ludicolo griefs for PC there is a reality where he pops off for FlygonHG. It’s nice to see the positive end of the spectrum
when you were talking about how to continue a nuzlocke after a wipe i truly thought you were going to "my best advice is to fuel yourself with spite" after losing to that disgusting snorlax
The absolute silence lack of commentary as we just watch Brooks die to the world's dumbest two misses in a row made me laugh out loud m "So uh... pokemon is kind of a stupid game, huh?"
My version with teams edited by Matti will be coming soon after I recover from being sick! Hope you guys like what I did with these teams :D
Get well soon!
That snorelax set was evil. Well done!

Trick doesn't work if used by trainer's pokemon or wild pokemon in gen 4. Idk why and its so weird but that's why celebi failed to trick.

Man, AntlerBoy was NOT messing around when he designed Lance’s team
The team all had a 4x weakness....
Yes, *WORD!* Word-up, indeed to AtnlerBantler!
Not really, for a sand team it was really underwhelming
That bungled FEAR rattata was glorious haha
I almost wish gym leaders in the vanilla games were more like this, where they had themes instead of just being the same type
The last Sword and Shield gym was a sand team more than it was a dragon team, Sw/Sh in general did a lot of interesting stuff with its gyms, but gym 8 was definitely the most interesting.

The "Somewhere PETA weeps" gag was top notch
The "A" at the sight of Surskit made me laugh so hard I almost lost my breath
Then the single Yoshi noise at the sight of The Togekiss That Could Have Been
I love how Morty's team was themed around road blocks:
-Sudowoodo blocks the way to Ecruteak itself
-Kecleon blocks the way to Fortree Gym
-Snorlax blocks the way to Fuschia

Very clever!
Morty’s team being roadblocks might be my favorite gym theme evee
hey you caught it!

I laughed so hard, when alakazm threw his twisted spoon, like "Nya! Wait what am I doing? NOOOO, my SPOOOOOON!!!!" XD
That FEAR strat failing so utterly at the end was funny lmao
FlygonHG impersonating a Surskit should not have made me laugh as hard as I did
Can we just appreciate that the starters were balanced to be super effective against each other
Fun fact: my sisters and I used to play pretend we were the Lake Trio. Gen 4 was our first "new" generation, so we were super hyped for all the new legendaries. I was Uxie, my little sister was Mesprit and my big sister was Azelf.

I was never truly afraid of Snorlax until this day
This is a very fun take on randomizers, I want to do a run like this with a friend. Maybe the person building Gym teams could do it in real-time as you play, although idk how possible that is.
Have you seen the Pchal and Smallant vid where one person is the gym trainer and one is nuzlocking?
@@SorenRoberts I have seen that, but I was thinking more of building the teams from scratch, not controlling them.
They could have you send them your Box, and then you build it while they sleep, or something

My best guess for why Celebi's trick spam failed would be that dark types are immune to it since it's a psychic move.
Trick works on them.
Celebi might having an un-trickable item.
@@Gemini090693antler custom made that team so unless that's a troll, celebi can't be holding a random item like multiplate
@@tejasdixit4417 it might be a troll. Since it can only be Griseous Orb or mails. The plates iirc, can be tricked, unless one of either end is Multitype
Prankster doesn't work against dark types. That's probably what's happening here
About Trick, Smallant mentioned in his streams about the escape rooms that it always fails if an NPC uses it.
It wasn't documented anywhere and he had to redo some of the puzzles after finding that out in practical tests.
I just love all your detail always. You actually rewrote the TOS and it's great. So many easter eggs and things worth pausing for.
Torterra always puts in so much work doing nuzlockes
the "it tastes like a lugia" along with you licking a lugia had me dying
"God isn't dead, He just gave up" Is so fucking good holy shit.
Flygon: "You're actually legally required to watch any youtube video you click on."
Me: *sweats in adhd*
I'm still waiting for a narrative castform only team. I thhink it'd be hilariously fun!
I thought Wingull would be a starter lol. Love seeing the nuzzlockers that I all watched coincidentally at the same time constantly collaborating and referencing each other.
"The only eeveelution she doesn't have is the dark type umbreon"
Flareon: I exist
Flygon hg: Not anymore
FlygonHG and Antlerboy!! My fav pokemon nuzlocker❤❤❤ I just need Silph to join as well to make a perfect trio
That would be so lit
They really be the three GOATs of Nuzlocking 🙌
They really be the three GOATs of Nuzlocking 🙌
Ngl, I was kinda expecting Lance to have 6 Dragonite.
In the final battle I couldn’t help but think of the X force team from Deadpool 2 with the new guys going down so comically.
Morty having all roadblock Pokemon turned out to be really fitting
This is one of my favorite videos from you in a long time. I definitely prefer when the theme or twist comes from a gameplay factor rather than a narrative factor.
Those last few turns with lance were a hilariously tragic rollercoaster
Can't believe FlygonHG beat FlygonHG by hitting FlygonHG with a freeze off of a 10% freeze chance. What a world we live in
went to watch this for what i *thought* was the first time, but apparently i've watched it before because i fully remember you talking about the video of the guy named snake blowing up a watermelon with fireworks. and, i *only* remember that, nothing else from this video.
