"If violence was to ever be considered a work of art, this place would be the damn Sistine Chapel" is such a raw line and I can't believe it comes from a video about pokemon
fr
Don't forget Mewtwo gave us "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevent,it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."
which video @@ShadowsFallOnWings
wrgg
@@sekanomsI do believe this is from the original pokemon movie in which Mewtwo is "speaking" with Mew trying to understand it's personal existential crisis.
Honestly, the one pokemon per route rule is usually unnescessary in monotype challenges if you're restricted to one per evolution line anyway so I wouldn't worry about the horsea.
While it technically doesn't impact anything meaningful, it would kind of take away the one rule that defines the second part of doing a "monolocke".
Actually very necessary on games like swsh and if ur doing a common type run like water normal or any others
@@paulelderson934 I disagree, the point of the second rule is to give you a limited number of encounters and to encourage using different Pokémons than in a normal run. I think that allowing all Pokémon of a type in a lot of runs is the better way of doing it for monotypes.
@@Jacob-nh9yv yes, for a monotype run, fro a monolocke, or monotype-nuzlocke if you will, you generally have to abide by 1 pokemon per route, very common exceptions are the forest in BW because the encounters are so vastly different and are locked behind story events.
@@cceyceyeebeeh yea, SwSh regional dex is HUGE, like twice the usual size
Aerial ace gives off the vibe of a fairly zoomy attack, and the concept of a Shelgon zooming around with his short stubby legs brings me so much joy
:D
Fun fact; not only can Dugtrio learn Aerial Ace, but so can AGGRON.
@@TheSphero getting hit by aerial ace by aggron would probably feel like getting run over by a dump truck
@@TheSphero Fun fact: Charmander can learn wing attack from breeding :)
@@justanoreo3928 oh no!!! I'm now gonna spend the rest of the day imagining a Charmander flapping it's little arms as hard as possible to do a super effective wing attack!!!! 🥺
Honestly, I don't care if a challenge is particularly difficult or particularly easy. I watch because I enjoy your style - the narration, the playthrough, all of it. I've literally never gotten into Nuzlocke challenges before, and I still don't really watch anyone else's Nuzlocke videos unless it's someone who I already like. At the end of the day, it's supposed to be fun, and as the one actually playing the game and making the videos, I feel like you having fun is the most important thing. I've enjoyed every single one of your videos both here and on the highlights channel, and I'm looking forward to anything you do moving forward!
Same
Totally agree
@Alicia U
I agree
Agree
Honestly almost as compelling as flygonhg's nuzlocke vids is his growing appreciation and love for gen 6 and the kalos region. It's like a slowburn romance in real time, it's honestly very sweet.
They are probably the best games in terms of actual aesthetic, chock full of great features (megas, wonder trade, fairy type and so much more), and added so much in terms of quality of life features for both the casual and tryhard fans.
Its such a shame that the story is garbage and the game is shockingly easy throughout, especially coming off the back of Gen 5.
@@TattyBojangles81 fairys are not great features
@@TattyBojangles81 is it easy though? I mean we are all over 20 and at this point understand the ins and outs of the games
yeah , gen 6 has always been my favourite generation! its so nice to be seeing more nuzlockes in kalos
@@Averagejon95 YES.
The AI is almost Gen 1 levels of terrible, opponents frequently have suboptimal movesets including numerous instances of not having all of their moveslots filled, Gyms have no more than three mons and the E4 just four, certain gift mons such as Korrina's Lucario are just absolutely bonkers, and the debut of experience sharing while scaled XP takes a generation off results in you being almost comically overprepared for already-easier fights.
Yeah. It's that easy.
The puppet show fight has gotten so creative as you've gone and I'm here for it. Also the difficulty is like 30% of watching. How you deliver and engage is like the hard carry on the videos for me. You do a very good HG
It was from the fairy only run in kalos when flygon lost footage
wrgg
I would like to see a "rarest encounter" run with only the rarest poke on each route. Probably not too difficult but you could do something with it
Yes! I actually tried this myself and it’s super fun!!
Would definitely watch that video
Agreed
On which game? Not sure it matters lol just curious
*Fishing intensifies*
X and Y got so many things right despite the classic flaws people point out. The region is gorgeous the routes are unique and fleshed out, Pokemon distribution is a big one but even item distribution. Getting an eviolite, leftovers and rocky helmet so early is awesome. Just makes you want to see NPC trainers using items etc too
I think it’s largely a compound issue that the game design wants to to charge ahead, which leaves no room for proper character arcs.
I decided to play it again and actually struggled a lot more than what people thought. I actually like how you don't need to use too much HMs *cough* Sinnoh
I honestly love how this channel constantly gives Kalos a hug. I just love the encounter diversity of these games. It makes every playthrough feel different. Even if X/Y have massive flaws, I can't hate on these games like the poplar trend seems to be about gen6 lately.
for real tho. And it's so sad too because I feel gf tried really hard with these games..
@@elnkianni3466 they did. Some people just cry because:this videogame meant for children is too easy for me despite me there being an online version
@@dabmonstr7403 honestly yea, I agree. The only reason I dislike it is because I usually play Pokémon for the writing, it's filled with personality, even in gen 8 the personality shines through. With at least X and Y (ORAS didn't have the same issue so it's definitely not gen 6 as a whole, ORAS is amazing), TPC decided to rush out all of the translations to be on the cart at release, which thank the lord hasn't been done again because the crunch is VERY apparent with the main story dialogue. It's just sad. I blame TPC for making the games not as good as they could've been, definitely not gamefreak
I’m not a huge fan of the story since it’s honestly really generic but it’s still my second favorite Pokémon game (my favorite being Sun and Moon) because of the variety of Pokémon and attention to detail in every route! Everything in this game is beautiful and I absolutely love the cities and routes in this game!
The only thing I really think is bad about the game is the evil team tbh
A mono dragon challenge but this video won't drag-on because flygonhgs nuzlocke content is above all others! 👌💯
Booooo!!!
Hey, it's my favorite!
How you doing, you fabulous icon you?
This means a lot coming from you.
HOLY SHIT WEEDLE

If you ever need to do the berry thing again at a beach there is an easier solution. There’s a field in the middle of azure bay that technically counts as a beach so you can get the red berries there
Watching Mushu go down to a glass of ice water was one of the most tragic events I've seen. Sleep well, seahorse dragon!
Which move did mushu get koed from

Evert saturday i wake up right before a new Pokemon nuzlocke and watch it while i eat a bagel. its the only 20-40 minutes of true peace i have every week. cannot wait to see these dragons
@@FlygonHG the good kind
@@FlygonHG The kind that sadly never managed to fully evolve in this challenge
...dragon bagel
@@DJI_Friday Me:*sobbing intesifies*
@@FlygonHG a salamence bagel
the narration on these is absolutely impeccable. compelling poetry and sentences like "frogs aren't real" in the same tone of voice is beyond hilarious to me. super underrated channel my dude.
after further review, the horsea encounter is indeed legal. pokémon captured via ball are separate than gifted/traded pokémon. Therefore it neglects the one encounter per area rule🤝
Was a great nuzlocke and video, but unfortunately he did break his rule of fighting the gym leaders with the same number of Pokémon right after this😂
@@kalkes21Serena isn't a gym leader so he technically didn't break his rules
I think my favourite thing about your channel over the last year or so is the consistency. You can go back and watch the early videos and the style hasn’t really changed and it’s honestly great. The quality has been so consistently good you don’t need to resort to fast paced gimmicks to keep our attention. I love that you release videos 45 mins long when appropriate and I enjoy every minute of them. Don’t ever change.
Just imagine if Kalos had actually hard gyms and an actually hard elite 4 and champion. The game would be known as probably the best addition to the franchise with also being the first game with 3D models.
I choose to believe that game was Pokemon Z
There are rom hacks for pokemon x and y that are super hard
This game sucks! Bad characters, awful story, and bad Pokemon!!!! Pokemon Black and white is so clear
the champion is hard but yea the rest are asf
Nah x and y still kinda suck. They also mark where it is clear the Pokemon games hit their decline.
I always enjoy the little “Gogoat gogoes” jokes you make whenever you play Kalos haha
Suggestion: A low-roll Nuzlocke, where you are only able to catch the Pokémon with the lowest base stat total on a given route.
Awesome vid as usual. Keep up the great work!
Love the Eragon reference! I also never noticed how many dragons were in x and y when I played back in the day
In regards to challange runs I personally find the themed ones most fun to watch - be them cute pokemon, specific color pokemon or some other arbitrary distinction. I don't know if they are tougher or easier than monotype ones, but the more diverse rosters and the fact that sometimes weird or less used pokemons make it into the team make for a better watch.
THE GOURGEIST ARTISTIC RENDITION HAD ME LAUGHING OUT LOUD AT 2 IN THE MORNING! YOUR DIANTHA CHAMPION FIGHTS ARE ALWAYS A DELIGHT TO WATCH AND THIS WAS THE BEST ONE YET!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Hoping to see more Diantha renditions in the future! And I'd love to see more fairy type or ghost type (my 2 favorites!) runs! This was an amazing run!
The number of likes on this video is 69, noice
FlygonHg’s humor lines up with mine so well, that I’m just forever giggling at every joke. The swords dance instead of dragons dance exclamation killed me.
Oh my gosh!!! Flygon knows his dragon culture! Saphira is such a great dragon, from the greatest book series ever! Thanks for bringing her up Flygon!
ik this was a year ago, but yes!!! was so happy to see that reference, love the inheritance cycle!
My go to name for Salamence is Vervada, Saphira's mother. On that note, if you haven't seen it, there's a new book out centering on Murtagh
@@marjoriejohnston4905 That's really cool. I do know about the Murtagh book, and I have to say, it's pretty good.
4:02
Man, i LOVE this rule, i use it since i was a child against EVERY Gym Leader.
It just makes everything so anime.
Question, could you do a run with with stone evolutions? They have the worst level up move set, giving a good challenge, but still have a great variety.
If he does it in Gen 8, he gets a team of early beasts that kill everything :D
@@grundgutigertv6170 nidoking clefable isn't in gen 1?
@@dabmonstr7403 excuse me?
@@grundgutigertv6170 you can get a nidoking before misty and it can have a busted moveset of thrash doublekick and two other moves maybe thief and bullet seed. You also can find a clefable before misty and clefairy's moveset is so bad it's mostly tms because clefable line gets the best tms and move tutors. Clefable can have stab mega punch before the second gym. In Kanto it is very easy to do this run. You also have starmie in the late game. That thing is busted too. Need any other reasons why this challenge being easy is exclusive to gen 8?
@@dabmonstr7403 Well, it depends on what game he does it in
honestly I love the range of difficulty in runs because at the end of the day, I'm here to see what creativity you've come up with this time. Be it interesting strats and we'll thought out plays, or creative storytelling and fun delivery, it's always a treat to see what you come up with.
I also love seeing if I can guess your naming schemes for your pokemon lol
God, these paper cut out edits are so damn funny and just fantastically creative. I really cracked up when you got out the ice cubes and spray bottle. Great stuff
I had no idea about that berry tree mechanic, that was so interesting. Great vid Flygon!! I loved this video as usual
It's like they try to come up with the most nonsensical game mechanics for things.
Like the horrible way to catch feebas in gen 3 or the very specific relicanth/wailord setup you need to unlock the regi puzzle.
How are you supposed to figure out these things? Just try random things until something happens?
@@paulelderson934 Gamefreak: "Just learn braille lmao"
yeah i had NO idea about this, wtf. it isn't even mentioned once in the games afaik? so how would anyone figure that out on their own
@@nbkarkat Not to mention there only being three moves that actually interact with the trees lmao.
@@christiandale4428 Also Gamefreak: "The Azure Flute is far too complicated though"
I LOVE Pokemon XY and I'm so glad you do too. The little details and the art style imo are what really makes this game shine. Thank you so much for making this videos. They definitely keep me busy when I'm eating a snack / doing HW. Your humor is hilarious + entertaining, and your voice is quite calming, so I prefer to watch these over literally anything. :)
The "I need to stall for time so the footage makes sense" bit always gets a chuckle out of me. And of course the puppet show champion fight is always a treat.
Challenge idea: a true monotype run, each pokemon can only have a single type, no dual types allowed.
Flygon needs to see this!
None of the starters besides Squirtle would be allowed because of that 🗿
@@CelestialQueenLollipopTreecko exists
@@stephenharper1662 not in X and Y, only in ORAS
@@CelestialQueenLollipopNobody ever said he had to do it in X and Y
1. was excited to share my name with your starters in attempts 1+2!!
2. loved the two button commentary
3. great run!!! your videos are my favorite on youtube!! :D
I'd love a Rainbow nuzlocke for pride. You can only have one pokemon of each colour in the dex. in cases where the pokemon changes colours between evolutions then just go with the colour of the final stage. This would probably result in a team you've never had before.
That might bring some controversy and flagon likes to keep his channel away from controversy (ignore this comment it did not reflect the meaning I was attempting to reach and was out of line)
@@FlygonHG I ain’t a bigot. My religious beliefs just don’t line up with it. Doesn’t mean I hate the people themselves. There’s a difference
@@FlygonHG but in the end it’s your channel so do what you feel like.
@@frankhorriganfromfallout2 Well said
@@frankhorriganfromfallout2 Religious beliefs not “lining up” with people’s existence, and leading you to say it would be controversial to do a nuzlocke about pride, sounds bigoted to me. But I respect you leaving it up to him at least
Learning that the calculator defaults to certain nature is actually really interesting and I'm glad you went through explaining what happened
The 'two button' bit was subtle but had me giggling, good bit
My boi Noivern got benched this time, hopefully he makes a return for another challenge! Was really cool seeing a dragon type only challenge, even if it was really easy in the late-midgame and endgame
This puppet shows are getting better and better, I love it
Your paper puppet shows are fantastic in general, but spraying the Aurorus and then having a band-aid on it made me crack the heck up. Amazing!
nearly did a spit take at the two button bit lmaoo at this point i could care less what the actual challenge part is the real treat is your commentary and personality
This is a scary challenge. Fairy and Ice gym leader, dragon e4 member, and champion has 2 dragons, an ice type and a mega fairy type
Could be, but X/Y are just comically easy, so it's whatever.
Yeah
I loved the damage calc bit! I noticed it myself, but it was still cool for you to go in depth. Shows the depth of your knowledge about the game.
That fact about the natural items was mind-blowing. I've never known that was a thing. You learn something new everyday.
As always, the Diantha puppet battle was great! You and Dana did a great job! To answer your end of video question, I love all your runs - the easy and difficult ones. But my favourite ones are when you go all in on the storytelling and theming - your Christmas, Cutielocke and Halloween videos were my favourites because you went all in on the theming. They make for fun rewatches! But I'll watch every video you put out regardless, since your nuzlockes are more fun and comedic than other runners I watch.
You make my weekends so much better Flygon! A well earned treat after the work week
the production value of the champion fights is always immaculate
I love the variety in your challenges, it really keeps things exciting. Every time you upload a video I'm excited to see what is about to happen. I don't normally like watching ROM hacks, but the Renegade Platinum runs were amazing and it was just great to see something different.
I always love your recreations! They’re a fun little addition to a run.
As for challenges, and I know I’m late, I’m just having fun watching/listening to your videos.
I actually watch the videos mostly because of your pleasant voice and to be remembered of the different Gens. If there are sick strats its a bonus, but same for some funny commentary. In conclusion i think doin what feels right to you should be right :)
Loved the video. If I may I’d like to pitch a future challenge run: an N-Locke
In addition to normal nuzlocke rules you have release or permanently box all your Pokémon after each gym battle. You may keep one Pokémon after a gym battle but cannot keep the same Pokémon two gyms in a row. Example: you choose to keep your starter after the first gym, after the second gym you have to release or permanently box your starter.
This would both be wayyyy to annoying if he does not use rare candies because too much grind. But it would be alottt of diverse pokemon sets
This sounds super fun to watch and super grindy to play lol. But I’d love to watch a challenge like that!
This kinda defeats the point of a regular Nuzlocke, as deaths in a gym battle would end up being irrelevant, leading to extremely sac-heavy gameplay.
So kinda what Keegan J did? He did a nuzlocke releasing pokemon he used in a gym battle.
Best video yet? Great mix of content in this one! I like competitive strategy but it honestly gets dry at a certain point, so finding out what went wrong with a damage calc or picking apart a boring game mechanic or bizarre scene breaks it up and holds my interest and makes it more digestible. Keep it up!
I honestly really love the "easier" runs, especially the Kalos ones. Your storytelling and commentary are my favorite parts of these challenges, so the challenges where you do more of it are always my favorites :)
Omg Sapphira! Finally the Eragon books get the recognition they deserve.
Edit: oh no :(
Like Angela say , Frog don't exist
These Kalos challenges are awesome, loving the Diantha fights. Keep up the great content! 👍
This is one of your best work so far. The script, the run, the puppets. Just elite.
Honestly, this was a really fun video. The difficult early-game was exciting to watch, and the showmanship in the latter half (especially the puppets) really carried the rest of the vid. I look forward to the next ones!
Y is probably Matti's favorite game to play through right now.
Another great video. This one did seem pretty easy but it was very enjoyable. I'd like to see you try an ice type challenge someday :)
this was so entertaining!
Loved the in depth Calc explanation! We appreciate your thought process throughout all of this
Finally a Dragon type nuzlocke! I hope Ice or Ghost are next, the rarest types are the most interesting to see in my opinion!
I need to let you know that I legitimately laughed out loud at your Johto joke in the beginning. Thank you so much, that was another great video!
Same
Interesting run! Thanks Flygon HG! I was longing to see Pokemon x or y hardcore nuzlocke with dragon-type, since it's not rare in this version! You fared really well! Way to go !
Great video, I enjoy both styles you push out, the more difficult ones and the more casual ones that you put more fun in. It adds variety and changes things up, so there's no reason to focus on one or the other.
The Drogon/Homster part killed me, just proofed once more why your videos are the best.
To be honest, I've been eagerly waiting for you to use Dragonite in one of your challenges. My favorite pokemon.
i personally like seeing you take on whatever challenge you want to take on! whether it's on the easy or more difficult side, i think you should do what's fun for you. i enjoy watching regardless of difficulty bc i mostly enjoy challenges that have a unique set up to go w them.
The intro had me in stitches great video as always. Keep up the great content.
11:30 i really enjoyed this part, I found it really interesting. But I always wondered, how do you know your opponent's stat to do your computations? Great video as always, ty!
This one is just amazing👏👏👏👏👏
Another legendary performance🙌
Huge fan Dr.HG! Awesome video as always! If possible one day it would be awesome to have an ice type only challenge in the gen of your choice 😁
I have been so excited since I realized ur uploads are on saturdays, that’s when I do a Lil weekend ritual and now this is a part!!! So excited to see how your dragons take on makos 💖💖
The axew encounter is fun, free tyrunt too. This is a good game for this mono run
Yes. X and Y are great because you get Bagon early on, and Salemence is my favourite dragon type. He's a pseudo as well, so it'll be pretty great
I was like.... 12? When it first came out? I dont remember which year lol, i got a bagon and named him bagel for shits and giggles and he then proceeded to carry my team lol
I really love your Kalos playthroughs! First, of course, the amazing champion fights are always theatrical wonders, Broadway could never. But also because I really enjoy the love for Kalos, it is my favourite region after all, and after the kick in the face game freak gave me for teasing Pokemon Z but instead releasing S/M, these kind of videos really make me happy.
It was entertaining and informative as always, Flygon. Thank you for your Saturday lunch content!
Wait- Saphira is the dragon from Eragon, right? I think I’m right-
If I am, great reference!
Would love to see a nuzlocke in gen 1, it would be great to see how you strategize around the lack of/different mechanics
Can't wait till he gets 1 in 256 against a random trainer and has to reset
This run is a very fun one! I like how the early game is such an axew steamroll, and with early dragon dance-eviolite combos, the mid game is a steamroll, but a bit of a fragile one until Fraxure comes into play. And then it all goes to Kingdom come once your level caps in the 50s.
I got the gible coinflip on my go at it but I might redo the run to use Flygon for once. Another great vid! Excited to see your Ren. Plat video
Love the Calc breakdowns it's always cool to see how you think and all of the effort you put into each battle 🌟
Dragon is such a cool type, especially with the fairy nerf, so it's really interesting to see it in the context of a monolocke ESPECIALLY with a fairy gym
I would love to see a HGSS Run, just because its my favorite Region, and it has some cool Pokemon.
That was fun as hell, thank you Dr. Flygon, very excited for the renegade platinum run
Thank you for the videos man. I have super bad insomnia, I love pokemon, and I sit up and watch your videos when I can’t sleep.
after seeing the list of all dragon-type pokemon, i wonder, when are you doing another nuzlocke on sword and shield?
I would love to see a Kalos snaplocke, the Pokédex is so massive
This is hands down my favourite nuzlocke channel! Keep up the good work :)
I’ve been watching these videos for probably a couple of weeks now, and I always ask myself. Why do I like this guy so much and I finally realize it is humor is exactly the same as oversimplify another RUclipsr I love to watch. I’m so glad I found this channel and I love the humor.!🎉
No idea why someone would complain about this monotype challenge. I loved watching it and your creative plays at the begining
Im waiting for Keegan J vs FlygonHG
This was my first video I have watched from your channel.......that last few minutes was unexpected but enjoyable lol 😆
Every Kalos playthrough makes me so happy!!! It was my first game ever and I play randomizers of it all the time now (but not nuzlockes bc I am emotionally frail about my Creatures) and seeing my favorite pokemon RUclipsr play it more is the best thing to happen for me on this platform.
Nice
would the "same number as leader" rule be interesting in other games than xy?
He said a while ago that it mostly doesn't matter. He rarely uses more pokemon than the gym leader has anyway. It does add to the challenge of trying to figure out viable strats, since you're eliminating options.
I love watching your nuzlocke videos. They are creative and really entertaining! I don't really have a preference when it comes to the difficulty. I'd like to recommend two ideas: The "good boy" nuzlocke, where you can only use pokemon that resemble a dog and the "crazy cat lady" nuzlocke, where it's the same but with cats. Idk how challenging they would be, but they sounded funny in my head!
your videos are my highlight of the week. Keep up the great work!!!! You are fantastic, thank you.
Suh
Correction that a lot of people miss, the nuzlocke encounters are usually only counted with one static and one wild if they're the same place. For example you'd be able to get Groudon and Golbat in the cave of origin in Omega Ruby
I've gotta catch up to your runs a bit, but I gotta say I'm always looking forward to the incredibly artistic and skill-intensive Diantha fight where you always show your best work
I like the technical breakdowns, it was cool to see your math and what you put into the calculations.
Also that Titanic joke was gold lol
