How does poison get mixed up with a potion that turns you into a lama? Also why the fuck does she need a potion to turn someone into a lama and other animals? Like what benefit does that bring than just poison? I guess it’s not illegal to turn someone into a lama…
Fun Fact: Not only did Poison have a family removed from Platinum's wild encounters (Stunky -- Skuntank), but it's also the only type that got no new additions from the Dex expansion. So you can find more Poison types in the wild in Diamond than in Platinum. Sinnoh's regional Dex never ceases to amaze me
Sinnoh has the most asinine regional dexes. From the starter being the only new fire type (that isn't a new evolution of an older pokemon) to introducing a bunch of new evolutions to pokemon that aren't available in the regional dex (prior to Platinum) and in Platinum, the two pokemon with new evolutions that were originally kept in got removed.
@@NateLeonhart For real...at least Weavile and Ambipom got to stay. Could've done with another returning Dragon type beside Altaria though. Say what you will about BDSP but at least the Grand Underground gives it the most complete Mon selection for Sinnoh
Whether or not you can get more Poison-types in Diamond might depend on how you handle the Great Marsh. Croagunk is available on the marshy part of Route 212 in Platinum, but not DP. So in DP, you can only find Croagunk in the Great Marsh, which AFAIK is also Skorupi's only habitat, no matter what version you play. I like to handle Safari Zones as one attempt to catch something per section (because it's Pokémon GO but less forgiving), and the Great Marsh technically has six sections, so six encounters. But if you're strict about one per area without exception, you could be down one Poison-type.
Love how every run has many elements, but various ones have more funny/tense/touching moments that keep it fresh and give the runs more individual character
I'm assuming the rival is "Jeffrey" as in Jeffrey Katzenberg, who worked at Disney while Emperor's New Groove (then Kingdom of the Sun) was in production, left to help found Dreamworks, and may or may not have based The Road to El Dorado (which came out a few months before ENG) on what he might've seen in pre-production.
Fun fact: my screenwriting professor was the head writer of Kronk's New Groove, as well as Home on the Range and Mulan II, and there's a reason he's teaching at a local public college today
And mostly because it's a water type. Poison was so average until Gen 6. Offensively, it sucked. Resisted by a lot and only 1 super effective target type though defensively it was ok, it had some use.
If I had a nickel for every time I watched a nuzlocke playthrough in Platinum and a Zubat got nicknamed Kronk, I’d only have two nickels, but it’s kinda weird that it happened twice.

Holy shit, as a kid who grew up watching the Emperor’s New Groove, and knew every line… This may be the best pokémon video I’ve ever seen in my life hahahaha. The jokes, the lines, every name made for a reason - the clips from the movie itself.. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time hahaha.
I remember that one villain who boasted of how lethally toxic the poisons coating his knife were, before licking the blade for dramatic effect. Then he had a moment to consider he shouldn't have done that before flopping down dead.
@@aubarloweit's from the japanese show 'The Hero Yoshihiko and the Devil King's Castle,' the poison knife scene became a meme so it's pretty easy to find a clip if you search it up
I'm half through my second Hardcore Nuzlocke in White 2, I just got a Trapinch and I named him in honor of your Courgie Puppy Poppy :3 Thanks for being always cool and help me getting distracted during hard days ❤
@@pokemoncavern8052 I was gonna point out that the conversation is about Poison types, but then realized Pikachu has indeed been pretty toxic for the anime, so fair enough.
You know it's a good day when it's Saturday and you're ready for a great nuzlocke video. I have a couple of ideas for you to try flygon. Nuzlocke challenge where every death equals 1 level under the level cap for the remainder of the run and a challenge where you have a limited amount of evolutions throughout the run. So if you limit yourself to 10 evolutions in a run and you want to evolve your starter fully, that leaves you 8 more and you may have to skip encounters that get you a basic pokemon and go for the 2nd stage or final stage on another route. Just some ideas, I'm trying them myself
It would be cool to see a mono type move challenge where your Pokémon can only use one type of move (only poison type moves etc.) especially with immunities. If that’s even possible. Anyway, awesome video as always!
This was such an enjoyable video, Matti! You have always been a good writer, and I always vibed with your style and sense of humor going back to your First videos, but it is clear how much you have honed your craft at this point. You’re a great content creator and I’m looking forward to see what you do next.
I've been waiting for this monotype Nuzlocke forever, I think I even suggested it on the Discord server once. So excited bc Platinum has a lot of poison types including one that's dual-typed with my favorite type fighting (Toxicroak, poision/fighting)
I would love to see a Pokémon Platinum run with the Electric Type. Also Poison is my favorite type and Emporers new groove is one of my favorite movies, is this run was amazing!
Flygon! Great video, good to see you back. I have a few thoughts for video concepts in the future. I think it'd be cool to do restricted nuzlockes not based on type, but other characteristics like Pokedex color, egg group, etc. Also I think hardcore nuzlockes are more challenging and interesting if you match the number of Pokemon used by key opponents!
Poison types are so underrated. Pure poison types lack a little versatility and aren't super effective against much, but as a secondary type, it pairs well with lots of others. Also, Crobat is a top 5 favorite of mine, and tends to be a staple of almost all my nuzlocke runs because you can typically get him pretty early for a fully evolved mon due to the abundance of Zubats and the friendship evolution of Golbat. And with his speed and a ground immunity, he is very useful. He was also my second ever shiny, and the only one to be on one of my championship teams.
Great video, glad to see you back with more great runs. Once again going to recommend returning to no stab moves in the future, perhaps in Ultra Sun / Moon or even a Drayano hack.
Fun fact: when I was in like elementary school or something I knew budew evolved via friendship, what I didn’t know was that it had to be during the day. Since I went to school all day and didn’t really play platinum until later in the day, that little shit stayed a budew my entire playthrough. I distinctly remember standing in front of victory road looking at my team wondering what I did to make this little shit hate me so much.
Another banger. Really appreciated the follow-through on attempt 2. I assumed you’d just reset again once you couldn’t field a full team, but it all worked out in the end.
Welcome to 2024! Loved the video. TENG is one of my favorite hidden Disney gems. Absolutely loved the naming scheme. I look forward to more of your content!
Not surprised FireRed had plenty of encounters. Poison was so prevalent in Gen 1 that literally half of all Poison-types from the first _seven_ generations are from Gen 1.
In nuzlockes you foresee being too easy, a possible difficulty addition might be that you only get to catch six total pokemon. It definitely adds to the tension and the stakes - I know that when you have a dozen encounters you are basically guaranteed to win because you can sac. I enjoyed this one because I knew that every pokemon counted, and you *still* ended up winning fairly easily.
Sting also wrote the theme song for Emperor Kuzco. The titular “groove.” The lyrics, rhyme scheme and chord structure all evoke Sting at the height of his songwriting powers - a little bit of Synchronicity in the era of the Brand New Day album.
Is rival Jeffrey a reference to Jeffrey Katzenberg, who left Disney to found DreamWorks during the making of Kingdom of the Sun (which morphed and mutated into The Emperor's New Groove)? 30:55 not only did he write the credits song, back when the title was still Kingdom of the Sun, they wanted it to be a classic Disney Broadway-style musical, and Sting was hired to write all the songs. The only other song that actually made it into the movie was Perfect World (performed by Tom Jones) but other songs made it onto the official soundtrack including Yzma's villain song Snuff out the Light (best Disney villain song imo) and a love duet called One Day She'll Love Me
Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison.
That poison?
YES! That poison
Oh yeah it's all coming together (I know that's not where it's from)
How does poison get mixed up with a potion that turns you into a lama? Also why the fuck does she need a potion to turn someone into a lama and other animals? Like what benefit does that bring than just poison? I guess it’s not illegal to turn someone into a lama…
@jackashmore it's all pretty much explained in the film lol

@@joeychipman5352 That is all correct, but I meant that there's more available in DIamond in general, not just with nuzlocke rules
I like how FlygonHG and GarchompFJ aren’t bitter enemies anymore. This is real character development.
It's like Mikey and Grunty Boi
@@owenaspinall2046aha! it is i garchompfj!

Enemies to lovers sub-plot? 🤔
“Come on how am I going to win with these massive Future sight damage numbers?”

The comedy this run is immaculate, the miner joke about Byron absolutely killed me. Awesome watch, I really appreciate your videos.
Love how every run has many elements, but various ones have more funny/tense/touching moments that keep it fresh and give the runs more individual character
Interesting choice of profile picture
A petition to FlygonHG to play as Garchomp FJ once please.
You mean for him to kidnap flyhonhg and take over for a video
That would be absolutely sick for an April Fools' special
Garchomp monlocke where he just catches infinite garchomps and runs through a game with them
@@appelofdoom8211 with infinite Garchomps and one Flygon
It’d be great for an April fools video!
"Fall like an out boy" was such a good one liner. Really slipped under the radar and then a minute later I was laughing out louf

You win. Thank you for posting😅
Thoughts on it being Jeff Bennett due to him voicing a bunch of extra voices/chars in the franchise?
Interesting.
@@fleeper20That wouldn’t quite explain why he’s the rival, and Flygon did say the reference was a deep cut.

That's a yikes from me bud
Ok but mulan II goes hard tho
28:08 “A Pokémon so fearsome…and ugly” had me in tears
The sky is blue, water is wet and Tentacruel is the only reason half of all Poison type challanges aren't brutal
And mostly because it's a water type. Poison was so average until Gen 6. Offensively, it sucked. Resisted by a lot and only 1 super effective target type though defensively it was ok, it had some use.
I mean, crobat is also amazing .... However after doing my own nuzzlocks I can confirm crobat never survives to the end. The pros make it look easy.
I dunno, Ekans is pretty good, and can solo all of Platinum, even with a Timid nature
@@MiniAssassin17 Yeah, but Ekans is not in base platinum
@@claudiolentini5067 That didn't stop me from beating Platinum with one solo. Universal Pokemon Randomizer is a beautiful thing.

Honestly, this. Still surprised he hasn't revisited that one.
If I had a nickel for every time I watched a nuzlocke playthrough in Platinum and a Zubat got nicknamed Kronk, I’d only have two nickels, but it’s kinda weird that it happened twice.

Oh Boy! First Ice type and now my OTHER favourite type? I sure hope Dr Flygon doesn't slander the good name of poison like he did to ice!
