This was an amazing run, and the storytelling was just perfect. You keep outdoing youserlf with every video you make! I wish every one of them could have made it to the White Forest, but I know the ones who couldn't make it were happy to see their friends there at the end. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of this, it was incredibly fun to make those illustrations. And seeing them at the end makes me very emotional, again, thanks so much Flygon!
Holy crap, this is probably the best video you’ve ever made. It’s absolutely insane how much work you put in, we don’t deserve this. Well done, Dr. FlygonHG. Also Ross might’ve been the unluckiest pokémon of all time lol
@BrightofNight I mean nuzlockes originally started as a storytelling device to make Pokemon fanfics more interesting, and only turned into a more competitive challenge later. Creating a narrative for your runs brings this full circle
Flygon. Thank you for this cinematic masterpiece. Sad for the friends we lost along the way, but happy for the final member of the Sunkern bloodline to make it to the Forest.
That champion battle was an absolute bloodbath, holy shit. I know Cynthia gets touted as the scariest champion but Iris really doesn't get enough recognition for her part
Really, in my hardcore nuzlocke I just swept her entire team with a Close combat Heracross since she refused to by any means send out her sashed Haxorus until after I OHKO'd all of her pokémon.
This is undoubtedly Flygon's Magnum Opus. Years of him honing his craft in storytelling, team building, video editing, and comedy writing have all culminated to this video. It tells a beautiful story, is one of the closest runs from a gameplay perspective in Nuzlocke history (literally down to one turn deciding the fate of the entire battle), somehow has incredible world building which I didn't even know was possible for a Monotype challenge, and overall has phenomenal pacing and editing choices in the music and visuals. Bravo Matti, this is why you're the best Nuzlocke content creator on this site
I was not going in expecting to be holding back tears by the end. I am such a huge fan of these story-driven nuzlockes, and I can't wait to see more of them in the future :')
Ok why did that ending hit harder than Ash dying in the first movie? Bruh your storytelling is absolutely amazing and that final art with the sunset is beautiful
I saw it in theaters as a kid and honestly the Pikachu short at where charizard gets its head stuck in the pipe hit me hard. Ash dying near the end? Naw literally no feelings at all about it lol
Tbf as well my current grass Nuzlocke on Violet is getting wrecked too. Best Geeta last night with one Pokemon still standing, got 8 Pokemon in the box to try and continue the run with.
I feel like part of why Flygon's writing in these hits so well besides the obvious incredible amount of work is that it really captures the emotional feel of when you yourself are playing a nuzlocke and get so attached and invested in your pokemon. Feels like the true spirit of what a nuzlocke is meant to be! Also he really went off with the sound editing in this one 👏👏
The way i actually cried at the champion battle. The narrative was more than well done. Physically hurt me to lose Monica, who i felt deserved a better life
i don't usually comment on nuzlocke videos, but your storytelling is absolutely unmatched in the poketuber scene, and these stories are what truly makes these challenges. thank you for your hard work
I love how this narrative based stye of nuzlocke video is almost a call back to how nuzlockeing originally started, with forum posts and web comics of people telling their nuzlocke stories. Awesome, incredibly entertaining video
Kudos to the artist of the final image. It brought a tear to my eye, and a sniffle too. Well done. I know no one told them life was gonna be this way, , but in the end, I think it all turned out ok.
I'm actually so emotional after this video. It was such a beautiful story. There were a few moments of genuine heartbreak for me, when I found out that certain team members had to take the fall for their other teammates to survive. Out of everyone on the team, I wanted Roserade and Lilligant to make it to the end, as they are my favorite Grass-type Pokémon of them all. But, seeing that ending screen with the surviving members seemed to compensate. Great work, Flygon. You made an emotional roller coaster of a video insurmountable in terms of quality. If you ever top this, I may need to spend a whole day in my room, contemplating life. 🧡
Idk if anybody remembers the old nuzlocke comics people used to make on deviantART but this is genuinely bringing back the feelings that those used to for my teenage self, I never thought I’d feel this way about pokemon again. Thank you for that.
Man that ending scene was genuinely heartwarming. Didn't know the narrative setup would be anything other than a safe segway into humor, but the ending genuinely made me feel warm and fuzzy. Thanks for this!
4:47 And the first time that Gunther saw Koffing, nothing was gonna stop him. He laid the groundwork and then just like clockwork, the dominoes cascaded in a line...
That was the most exceptional Leaf Blade of all time. Crit chance, overgrow, grass gem, and the weight of the entire journey behind it. Marvellous video Mr HG.
I love how you keep adding a little story to your runs! Especially because you explain WHY we're going to the League in these stories. To me, that's the most important piece. And you're very good at story telling as a whole.
no other nuzlocker comes close, only other vid ive seen where i care about the pokemon is jaiden's runs but the consistency and bar you set is raised with each hilarious run
I don't know how, but you always manage to make me root (pun intended) for these pixels man... This one was brutal. Monica's story truly touched my heart born in just a small patch of grass... I really wanted her to reach the White forest... I want to think she was there in spirit with the ones that made it.
She was so close if she didnt get min damage on that stupid Haxorus, mpst of the team including her wouldve made it as she probably sweeps the rest of the battle.
I didn't expect a Pokémon monolocke to be the thing that made me cry today, but here we are! Excellent work, Flygon, your storytelling is - as always - top notch!
Bro your nuzlockes are on an entirely diff level than anyone on RUclips. The narration, telling a story, concept and everything is just perfect. Thank you for sharing your content with us
Gotta confirm the story lines added to the runs are fantastic. And something I think a lot of us hardcore nuzlockers forget sometimes. Yes the rules are designed to add challenge but we also need to feel the weight of the losses. And while sacrifices are needed, remembering the losses makes the runs more memorable Absolutely fantastic video, great content and amazing plays!
I don't know if it's been said yet, but your storytelling really is out of this world. I've never been so sad to see a story end, nor have I been as emotionally invested in characters the way I was yours.
"The bouffalant has reckless" shows battle info saying its sap sipper I haven't seen the outcome yet but I can imagine how hilarious + bad it could go if it was indeed sap sipper on a grass type challenge
Yes, this! Did he change the bouffalant's ability in his rom? Because like everywhere I've looked online, it's supposed to have sap sipper. And like, big whoop. Still an awesome video. But he's normally really transparent about this kind of thing.
Flygon's storytelling skills and absolutely amazing. I love how each encounter is treated as a friend and fully fleshed out character to the narrative. It makes each video an absolute treat.
Lilligant is such an underrated mon. Under sun it has unmatched speed with chlorophyll, like higher base than that of speed deoxys. Maractus also has to be amongst my favorite pokemon designs. Its just so happy being a dancing cactus.
I like how narrative and dramatic your challenges are getting, not only with the grunt playthroughs but now giving Sunkern a personality as a mastermind, making an eldorado-themed story plot...
Absolutely amazing again. You lift nuzlocking to another level. Not just nicknaming the mons, but creating a tear drawing story for the run. So glad to see those 4 happy grassy friends enjoying the white forest.
God alive that ending actually had me tearing up. It's been incredible like... seeing how good you've gotten at storytelling even when the premise of the story is goofy. Each run just gets better and better and I'm always so excited when I see one in my sub feed.
I was on the edge of my seat watching that final battle. And then to see the end, all them at the white forest, overlooking the sunset, remembering the ones who didn't make it but helped make the journey. I CRIED. You're story writing is amazing.
Roxie’s Koffing fight actually makes sense if you know Gen 5 AI. It views moves with guaranteed effects as status moves. So it sees clear smog as haze, and it sees bulldoze as scary face. Very strange, and I use this strategy to trivialize Clay every time since all of his Pokémon prioritize getting to a point of outspeeding you with Bulldoze unless they see a kill.
I've been considering a Grass Monolocke in BW2, so this was fun to see! The editing and storytelling was absolutely stellar! You've only gotten better and better at this! I love the end art, too. Even if not everyone survived, at least the survivors finally got to witness the White Forest and carry on their memory.
I'm in awe. The narrative, the emotion, the tears at the end! You're not just another nuzlocker, you're a storyteller, and a fantastic one at that. Please keep doing your art, even if not every nuzlocke is an epic story to be told, when you do tell us a story, we'll be here, ready to watch and listen.
Man.. what a bittersweet ending. Hey, Flygon... Since you became a Champion, are you at least allowed to bury your fallen teammates in that forest? It would be a sweet, fitting, final act of service for them...
I know that all of the story writing is a lot of extra work, but I appreciate how much more engaging your nuzlockes are than a lot of other people's. I feel the losses and I celebrate the wins so much more.
You have absolutely outdone yourself this time. I've watched hundreds of nuzlockes by now and the ending just struck me. Incredible job. No one does it better.
20:16 made me pause the video just so I could like it. Happens a ton whenever I watch your content - all these amazing jokes come out of nowhere and through that I get instantly reminded to show my appreciation. Awesome stuff as always, keep it up
I love the little stories you make and the personality you give to the team, makes the nuzlockes very engaging! That artwork at the end was beautiful, and a perfect way to wrap up the story!
Its so nice that you can create these little stories through each run. Its not just a "lets see him beat the game again with X type" i want to see the next adventure. And its clear you enjoy doing it, which is the best part :)
These narrative runs are always my favorites because of the creativity but also the amount of love so clearly put into crafting these stories. The art at the end was a special treat that almost brought a tear to my eye. Awesome job as always Mr. HG
God I love how this channel has grown and evolved. From excellent strategic explanations and great gameplay which motivated me through several of my own nuzlockes, to now where you weave varied and intricate stories for each playthrough and each team member. Never mind your comedic chops, which really shine in your most recent videos. You are such a good creator man!
Flygon… your story telling is incredible and you have found a way to make something as mundane as just another run through a Pokémon game one of the most entertaining videos on RUclips. Never stop being you and as always I look forward to your next epic!!!
Loved the graphics and editing you featured in this video!! It really helped drive home the narrative, which was so touching and beautiful and added to the already wonderful nature of the BW2 games. Great work to you and your editor!
i love the narratives in these. it reminds me of the old comic days and its something i think is missing from a lot of youtube nuzlockes. i like how you think of a different “story” each time and give the pokemon different personalities, i like how its about them and not about the trainer.
I've watched every single Nuzlocke countless times, I have anxiety/insomnia and your voice is the only thing helping me sleep right now! Thank you so so much!!
Your videos truly suprise me every time and surpass my already high expectations. Between this, seal team six, and the first flygohHG studios performance with diancia, I truly cannot say which is my favorite. This is nothing short of art
This is a great throwback to how nuzlockes began as a way to create stories and engage in the game on a narrative level. This story framing was an excellent way to add stakes and personal investment into a run. Congrats to the sunkern who succeeded where his siblings failed and to the rest of the squad as well.
It took me way too long to realise that the name theme was friends i knew it was friends right when i saw phoebe and started thinking about the other pokemon you caught Edit: Come on why did phoebe have to die first she's the best character
Your storytelling skills are amazing and I love the way you ended the video. I'm not going to spoil how but I cannot remember the last time I felt so many emotions in a nuzlocke video. Thanks Matti💜🖤
The artwork at the end is so cute! These Nuzlocke stories are better than some of the actual Pokemon movies, so much thought, effort, and care put into giving these pixelated pocket monsters personality.
Dude the storytelling here was phenomenal. You did a great job with this. When Joey survived the X-Scissor at 32:28 and you transitioned the music at 32:38 I actually got feels. 10/10!
Maaan I dont wanna cry over a pokemon nuzlock video but that was amazinggg. The story telling got my hoooked. It was so good. Also I'm surprised no one mentioned that your use of soundtracks for your narration is on point as well. Great video as always FlygonHG. You never miss.
The thing about the stories you tell in your videos that I love so much, is it gets back to the essence of those old Nuzlockes. They were sad stories often times, and while I love me some numbers and statistics and stuff in a super difficult challenge run, it's these ones with the stories driving them forward that are my favorites. 10/10 stuff always, my man.
This is the nest Nuzlocke I’ve ever watched and the story made it 400 times better. I was so rooting for the grass friends to make it to the forest and their backstories had me 😢
Sir, I have to say that this video is absolutely top tier! Possibly one of your greatest videos. Other nuzlockers can’t even compete with the amount of extra content your videos have besides nuzlock runs. Good Job brother 🔥
Archeops was still faster than Marcel though, and Acrobatics still would have done a lot of damage - I don't remember Marcel's nature, but if it was a -Defense nature there was a good chance he would have been OHKOed from full. 0 Atk Defeatist Archeops Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Simisage: 234-276 (80.4 - 94.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 0 Atk Defeatist Archeops Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Simisage: 258-306 (88.6 - 105.1%) -- 25% chance to OHKO
I love how you add so much feelings into hardcore nuzlockes. The others including Leavany look down at you and the other grass types and say. You did good.
I've been watching your videos since the beginning, and wow, the narration and story behind this one was absolutely breathtaking, especially that heart warming ending. You're amazing! Keep it up, and thank you for this amazing video.
The end scene shows me just how far your imagination will continue to soar. With strategy planning, with narrative framing. Everything. Jesus Christ, dude. It’s been years now that I’ve followed your channel. These videos just never fail to entertain. Cheers to your wonderful work.
This was an amazing run, and the storytelling was just perfect. You keep outdoing youserlf with every video you make! I wish every one of them could have made it to the White Forest, but I know the ones who couldn't make it were happy to see their friends there at the end.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of this, it was incredibly fun to make those illustrations. And seeing them at the end makes me very emotional, again, thanks so much Flygon!
I just wonder why leafeon wasnt an eligible encounter in this run
@@jordanhamel6191 Because the moss rock is in the post game
“The genetic bullet to the kneecap that is being born a Sunkern.”
BRUTAL
AND with an adamant nature
Appropriately, Sunflora has no kneecaps! XD
It’s brutal yeah. But I’d say it’s more of a sniper shot to the skull.
That end scene was... heart wrenching? Why was this so emotional and one of the closest looking runs in awhile?
Loves a good immediate spoiler 😮
Then don't read the comments....
Storytelling. FlygonHG was in top form with this one, crafting a compelling narrative worthy of the title of "Nuzlocke".
@faytleingod1851 Well, it's a highlighted comment, so it's a bit hard to miss when it can be seen without opening the comment section.
@@joshkyei3105 even so what does it spoil. That it was a "close game." Never even said if he won or lost.
Holy crap, this is probably the best video you’ve ever made. It’s absolutely insane how much work you put in, we don’t deserve this. Well done, Dr. FlygonHG.
Also Ross might’ve been the unluckiest pokémon of all time lol
Only one minute in and the narrative framing is already top tier.
Indeed. 😢
A natural story teller
@@Devilinabag come for the nuzlocke and stay for the gut wrenching plot lines of leafy Friends characters
Yes

Flygon. Thank you for this cinematic masterpiece. Sad for the friends we lost along the way, but happy for the final member of the Sunkern bloodline to make it to the Forest.
I know that honestly was such a good thing to add at the start because sunkern always gets no love but this video was a masterpiece
That champion battle was an absolute bloodbath, holy shit. I know Cynthia gets touted as the scariest champion but Iris really doesn't get enough recognition for her part
Mainly because her Dragon team is kinda meh if you have a good Ice user.
@@gumballz.9259 it’s kinda sad that fights are often balanced around that, but it does make for good challenges in monotype runs
Honestly no. Iris isn't that hard. Other than dragon dance none of his pokemon can do anything
@@dabmonstr7403 I'm sorry... "his"?
Really, in my hardcore nuzlocke I just swept her entire team with a Close combat Heracross since she refused to by any means send out her sashed Haxorus until after I OHKO'd all of her pokémon.

Ferroseed spinning super fast in speed up is the funniest thing to me
Like a Beyblade!
I would agree if it wasn't for the ferroseeds sprite. For some reason, its the funniest thing to me. My humor is broken.

Better than the dead looking 3D sprite

Imma make it a lil sadder at 35:10 we can see text on the tree which is probably the names of the fallen grass types
Tbf as well my current grass Nuzlocke on Violet is getting wrecked too. Best Geeta last night with one Pokemon still standing, got 8 Pokemon in the box to try and continue the run with.

@@simon3662 Serebii says her Koffing has Clear Smog in Easy/Normal mode. That's probably where it came from.
This was an emotional roller coaster. I love the runs that have a narrative thread under them, like this one, seal team 6, and the Christmas one
I've been considering a Grass Monolocke in BW2, so this was fun to see! The editing and storytelling was absolutely stellar! You've only gotten better and better at this! I love the end art, too. Even if not everyone survived, at least the survivors finally got to witness the White Forest and carry on their memory.
I'm in the middle of one in BW1, there's a surprising number of solid Grass types in Unova even without the expanded dex

Boy this turned quite emotional
That finale shot really hits ya in the feels
The stories you create with these nuzlockes are always so creative and entertaining
My favorite Pokemon game and my favoite type and aditionally you spin this whole narrative around the challenge run. Kudos to you! Thanks
This found me in a sensible day and I was BAWLING my eyes out at the end. Also such a pretty illustration
Not me crying tears of happiness at the end. One of my favorite nuzlockes ever!
i love the narratives in these. it reminds me of the old comic days and its something i think is missing from a lot of youtube nuzlockes. i like how you think of a different “story” each time and give the pokemon different personalities, i like how its about them and not about the trainer.
genuinely got emotional at the ending i can’t even lie, this was so compelling to watch
I've watched every single Nuzlocke countless times, I have anxiety/insomnia and your voice is the only thing helping me sleep right now! Thank you so so much!!
Your videos truly suprise me every time and surpass my already high expectations. Between this, seal team six, and the first flygohHG studios performance with diancia, I truly cannot say which is my favorite. This is nothing short of art
This is a great throwback to how nuzlockes began as a way to create stories and engage in the game on a narrative level. This story framing was an excellent way to add stakes and personal investment into a run. Congrats to the sunkern who succeeded where his siblings failed and to the rest of the squad as well.
It took me way too long to realise that the name theme was friends i knew it was friends right when i saw phoebe and started thinking about the other pokemon you caught
Edit: Come on why did phoebe have to die first she's the best character
I really like those artsy shots put together of the Pokemon. They're all really pretty
Your storytelling skills are amazing and I love the way you ended the video. I'm not going to spoil how but I cannot remember the last time I felt so many emotions in a nuzlocke video. Thanks Matti💜🖤
Commenting to boost the video- Because holy crap this was awesome!! Great narration, awesome story, and amazing editing. Fantastic job!!
The story, the references, the characterization, the humor - impeccable as always!
The artwork at the end is so cute! These Nuzlocke stories are better than some of the actual Pokemon movies, so much thought, effort, and care put into giving these pixelated pocket monsters personality.
I was so invested in this!! The ending shot almost made me tear up.
Dude the storytelling here was phenomenal. You did a great job with this. When Joey survived the X-Scissor at 32:28 and you transitioned the music at 32:38 I actually got feels. 10/10!
This was a cinematic masterpiece, loved every second
Maaan I dont wanna cry over a pokemon nuzlock video but that was amazinggg. The story telling got my hoooked. It was so good.
Also I'm surprised no one mentioned that your use of soundtracks for your narration is on point as well. Great video as always FlygonHG. You never miss.
Damn the story telling in this one went crazy
The thing about the stories you tell in your videos that I love so much, is it gets back to the essence of those old Nuzlockes. They were sad stories often times, and while I love me some numbers and statistics and stuff in a super difficult challenge run, it's these ones with the stories driving them forward that are my favorites. 10/10 stuff always, my man.
This is the nest Nuzlocke I’ve ever watched and the story made it 400 times better. I was so rooting for the grass friends to make it to the forest and their backstories had me 😢
Sir, I have to say that this video is absolutely top tier! Possibly one of your greatest videos. Other nuzlockers can’t even compete with the amount of extra content your videos have besides nuzlock runs.
Good Job brother 🔥
I was so invested in the story 😂😂 so glad there a happy ending! ❤❤

At the end, even if Joey didn't kill, he would have put archeops in range of defeatist and his last teamate could have achieve it. Great run !
Archeops was still faster than Marcel though, and Acrobatics still would have done a lot of damage - I don't remember Marcel's nature, but if it was a -Defense nature there was a good chance he would have been OHKOed from full.
0 Atk Defeatist Archeops Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Simisage: 234-276 (80.4 - 94.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 Atk Defeatist Archeops Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Simisage: 258-306 (88.6 - 105.1%) -- 25% chance to OHKO
I love how you add so much feelings into hardcore nuzlockes. The others including Leavany look down at you and the other grass types and say. You did good.
I love GarchompFJ, and would love to see more of them! Of course, no pressure if you don't want to.
I've been watching your videos since the beginning, and wow, the narration and story behind this one was absolutely breathtaking, especially that heart warming ending. You're amazing! Keep it up, and thank you for this amazing video.
Very interested to see how Flygon handles Roxie because I tried this nuzlocke in black 2 and she was a complete roadblock
The end scene shows me just how far your imagination will continue to soar. With strategy planning, with narrative framing. Everything. Jesus Christ, dude. It’s been years now that I’ve followed your channel. These videos just never fail to entertain. Cheers to your wonderful work.
