Check out Honkai Impact 3rd’s new update here: hoyo.link/1d9JDTAd Just a quick note that I will be going on vacation later this month for the first time in my life! I'll keep you guys posted on here and on Twitter as to what that will look like in terms of uploads. I appreciate your continued support on the channel; got lots planned for you guys in the background so I hope you're looking forward to it!
Seeing Nidoqueen in the thumbnail and it being a Nuzlocke in HeartGold got me excited. I really do like poison types. Very good variety in these games. Thank you, Silph (:
Funny thing especially in the earlier games: the poison type had quite a lot of good Pokemon in its roster. But only a very few of them had a real advantage by (also) having the poison type.
During my first playthrough of SoulSilver, my Nidoqueen, Juliet, saved me from wiping to Lance by tanking Draco Meteors while I healed my team. I’ve had a softspot for Nidoqueens since then.
Currently doing a nuzlocke of SS where ekans was absolutely VITAL in all the first three gyms Sadly lost it before morty but damn if it didn’t ensure the run got to this point Poison, paralysis, attack drops with intimidate and defense drops with leer and later screech, along with a number of early game resistances. I salute you little buddy
@visionofsolace8961 In Gen 2 (GSC), they weren't trying to make Johto Pokémon. In the Gen 2 games and most promotional material, the new Pokémon are described as newly discovered Pokémon. They were indicating that the original 251 were found natively in both regions, and the newest 100 were just discovered between Red's and Gold's journeys. (Example: in GSC, Houndour is only found in Kanto. Houndour is a Kanto Pokémon) Then, when they made Gen 3, they originally planned for only new Pokémon. Not a single old Pokémon would have been available (this changed during development, but not until after a number of Pokémon were designed. Such as the entire Wurmple family)
@@iAmBadAtRodding Oh. I cannot remember ever doing any of the other games (Only ever played Gen IV and Black/White). That's really dissapointing, especially for a game that is essentially for kids. Gotta get that gambling addiction going...
I did this run a long time ago, and I have to say Crobat absolutely reminded me why it is still a premier Nuzlocke Pokémon to this day. And the run as a whole reminded me why Poison is my favorite type
The poison type in general can be criminally underrated. It doesn't have many weaknesses and often come in the form of incredibly scary pokemon (Crowbat/Gengar).
I don't know exactly what the naming theme is but my guess is cancelled or "poisonous" celebrities. Even if I'm wrong, it made me laugh throughout the video. I love that you do Nuzlockes in older games, not just the new ones
It's so cool to see you revisiting these older games, esp since I'm playing soulsilver with a bellsprout and Ekans on my team. I was curious do you plan on revisiting the true power series at all?. I'd love to see your take on Jessie and James or Guzma's best teams or some of the anime rivals. Please keep up the awesome work
Haven't watched the video yet, but based on my experience, crobat is going to be really good. I'm not sure if it'll be the mvp, but I'm sure it'll be important
Been binge watching your nuzlockes lately and love them! How long do they typically take you to complete (obviously they will vary depending on type and region)
Dunno if you've already done it, Silph, but if you haven't you should consider doing some variety of tierlist for Pokemon. Could be a "gen 1" list, or all water types etc. Could be based on viability/strength but also aesthetics and whatnot. With your knowledge I think it would make for excellent and fun content. You saying Tentacruel was within your top 50 favourite mons gave me the idea.
Generation 2 is where it all started for me so it'll always have a special place with me. Sure, the later games are better but that's because they can be. The tech got better.
This year is so weird and sad for me for many reasons but after long days your videos are my gateway, I don’t even play pkm anymore but I do enjoy listen and watch you play the game, thanks mate God bless you
This is a really interesting run. It’s surprising just how many poison type encounters you get before the 1st gym badge in hgss. This run is changing how I view poison types lol
Thanx. Gen 2 is my favorite game. Poison is my favorite type. Gengar is my favorite Mon. Crobat is my second. This run was made for me lol. Thanx Silph.
You should try a double Hardcore Nuzlocke of this game: the Johto gyms with only Gen 2 Pokémon and the Kanto gyms with only Gen 1 Pokémon and then the survivors reunited for the final challenge against Red. The poison type could be a good one for this challenge but also Water, Bug, Flying and Normal could work.
24:32 The AI in Pokemon knows every stat about their own and about your current Pokemon on the field. It sees Ben with only 34 HP and calculates the damage each of Polywraths attacks. And if the AI sees a kill with more than one move it'll just roll the dice and picks one fatal move at random. In your case it went for Surf. So the AI will sometimes use uneffective moves against you, if they calculate a killing blow. This is super important for Nuzlockes :)
I love both the Nido (I usually try to evolve both in Fire Red/Leaf Green) but most of the time I end up using Nidoking. However I *love* Nidoqueen and she needs all the love she deserves.
Im literally doing a Poison SoulSilver Nuzlocke right now, lol irony that you post this right before I go into the Elite Four. I lost my Crobat and Wheezing to Espeon Kimono Girl...I got Crit twice in a row
You could but under Nuzlocke rules, it's only the first wild Pokémon encounter that can be obtained and technically since Weedle appeared first, the wild Beedrill encounter is missed.
@@crazychristopher1989 weedle is beedrill he didn’t try to catch anything at the park. Therefor he could have got a guaranteed beedrill as it’s the only poison type available that he didn’t already have
I felt so proud seeing Arbok get some respect on his name! Always loved its design and felt it was underrated and underutilized in the potential department.
Hey Silph. I have a suggetion for you challenges: Single type challenge. As the name suggest you can only use pokemon with 1 type. Unlike mono type challenge where you can use pokemon with 1 specific type + another. "What about pokemon that gets a new type upon evolution?": I would say thats a no-go for that line but that´ll be up to the challenger him/herself. Think it´ll still be as hard/easy as other challnges you make. I am planning giving the same suggetion to other poke-tubers I watch
This was another fun run, great work! So, you said you'd keep us posted, but those who don't have Twitter accounts can't access it for free anymore. So I'd REALLY appreciate it if you did use the Community postings to do so. Thank you very much! Oh, and I hope you enjoy that vacation when it comes time! Side note: Honkai Impact 3rd is one of my favorite series. 😀
I used to do mono type Poison runs in Red/Blue since it was the only type (that I could think of as a kid) where I could get a starter in type, and learn every HM
2:37 Tbf, PChal's video on Gen 2 is really funny and definitely puts a spotlight on Gen 2's MANY flaws. Don't know why people hate the remakes so much though.
Silph talking about listening to his friends complaining about back pain at the age of 30 and I’m over here at 29 holding my back thinking in my mind: “Nah it’s not that bad.”
👍 for those who know about Kim's and Ray J's love at first sight reference lol... especially since Silph is one to talk about the clyoster and Onix refrence.

Well deserved, hopefully you escape the cool climate of Canada 🎉
Hey!!! Safe travels Silph. You deserve it.
Honkai impact solos the universe!!! Kiana idioka!
Silph your ultra sun nuzlocke was amazing i want to see more alola nuzlockes from your side

It was good to see Arbok really putting in a showing as I always feel it's a very under appreciated Pokemon
Now that Tauros finally sort of got some love, I think only Golduck and Arbok are more deserving of... something.
Currently doing a nuzlocke of SS where ekans was absolutely VITAL in all the first three gyms
Sadly lost it before morty but damn if it didn’t ensure the run got to this point
Poison, paralysis, attack drops with intimidate and defense drops with leer and later screech, along with a number of early game resistances. I salute you little buddy
Nah Arbok is cool but it suuuucks
Agreed! It’s one of my favorite Pokémon and my ace in Ultra Moon.
Since the Original 151 include 32 Poison-types, that means over 1/5 of Kanto is Poison (or roughly 20%).
The original 2 gens gave us so many poison types they dialed down the number a lot in recent gens
@@visionofsolace8961Gen 2 introduce only 4 poison type pokemon
Despite being 20% of the pokemon population the poison type are responsible for 50% of the violent crimes commited by Team rocket members.
@@romatv6117 I only said the original two because most of the gen 1 Poison types were accessible in G/S/C.
And Johto's dex is minuscule.

This man legit put Kim and RayJ as Nidoran F and M. I'm dead 💀
Bro is insane
Crazy how nobody asked or cares what you have to say
@@Notconceitedjustbetterthanyou Who hurt you?
@@NotconceitedjustbetterthanyouNo one asked you as well 😂😂
@@Notconceitedjustbetterthanyouyou thought you did something. Go outside
14:36 tip for future runs, you never want to click any tile on a row that sums up to 5, since it'll either be a 1 or a voltorb.
Gosh, that minigame was so frustating. Way too much luck involved for it to be captivating
@@racernatorde5318 on the contrary, Voltorb Flip is the game with the least amount of luck involved out of all the Game corners.
@@iAmBadAtRodding Oh. I cannot remember ever doing any of the other games (Only ever played Gen IV and Black/White).
That's really dissapointing, especially for a game that is essentially for kids. Gotta get that gambling addiction going...
I mean that's pretty self-explanatory.
Finally Tentacruel getting the recognition as the absolute monster that it is
tentacruel is great in johto
@@emkalina Tentacruel is always great, for Tentacruel is best
I did this run a long time ago, and I have to say Crobat absolutely reminded me why it is still a premier Nuzlocke Pokémon to this day. And the run as a whole reminded me why Poison is my favorite type

Chuggaaconroy is Mr. Poison Type Lover
I don't know exactly what the naming theme is but my guess is cancelled or "poisonous" celebrities. Even if I'm wrong, it made me laugh throughout the video. I love that you do Nuzlockes in older games, not just the new ones
"Toxic" celebrities lol
@@cameronzahedi9365 yes, but that’s not the name of the type (and I couldn’t think of the word 😂)
Some of them were really well picked. The snake for Minaj's anaconda. Ben being not-dry flycatcher. It was brilliant
Lol sex tapes
It just looks like Canadian celebrities to me. I don't really get it. Please do explain if I've missed something.
Okay guys it's time for a poison type hardcore nuzlocke !
Gengar : Hold my BoltBeam and ground immunity
Dang I was looking forward to seeing Ariados in a run 😭
Bro that croconaw said sike lmao
Poison is my second favorite typing, right behind Bug. They’re such fun types to use, with a ton of awesomely designed mons
It's so cool to see you revisiting these older games, esp since I'm playing soulsilver with a bellsprout and Ekans on my team. I was curious do you plan on revisiting the true power series at all?. I'd love to see your take on Jessie and James or Guzma's best teams or some of the anime rivals. Please keep up the awesome work
I swear I live to watch those "Baoba????" segment in your Gen 2 remake run 😂. Another great video as always. Thank you for your work!
Haven't watched the video yet, but based on my experience, crobat is going to be really good. I'm not sure if it'll be the mvp, but I'm sure it'll be important
Got stupid drunk last night. I have a hangover now and here my ass is at the toilet listening to this.
25:27 That innuendo you're matching is Jesse and James
9:10 it's appropriate he would say "we can still fly" when he can no longer roost!
Been binge watching your nuzlockes lately and love them! How long do they typically take you to complete (obviously they will vary depending on type and region)
Thanks for blessing us with another amazing nuzlocke silph. Best nuzlocker on UA-cam
Awesome video as always but your spinarak got me interested in possibly seeing a version exclusive run in the future
Cool Idea 💡
Oh this is a cool idea!
Dunno if you've already done it, Silph, but if you haven't you should consider doing some variety of tierlist for Pokemon. Could be a "gen 1" list, or all water types etc. Could be based on viability/strength but also aesthetics and whatnot. With your knowledge I think it would make for excellent and fun content. You saying Tentacruel was within your top 50 favourite mons gave me the idea.
Respect the hell outa you silph. Love you and your vibes you bring.
Appreciate you Justin!!
Generation 2 is where it all started for me so it'll always have a special place with me. Sure, the later games are better but that's because they can be. The tech got better.
Perfect as always, Silph. Can you do the Water nuzlocke, too?. Really enjoy the HG/SS nuzlockes upon this time !
I was expecting falkner's pidge to have an odd number of hp and survive with 1
This year is so weird and sad for me for many reasons but after long days your videos are my gateway, I don’t even play pkm anymore but I do enjoy listen and watch you play the game, thanks mate God bless you
18:57 The Ray J and Kim line was funny af 🤣🤣
One of these days I want a HC Nuzlocke challenge video that’s 10 seconds long like “can I beat HGSS nuzlocke with only X?” “No”.
Just came home and thought to myself well, it would be real nice if Silph posted a new video. And here we are, thanks Silph :)
Honestly one of my favorite types, super slept on
My man just wanted to flex he walked the distance of the Sahara Desert before he did his ad read. Respect.
I’m never sick of poison types they’re my favorites since 1999
I was looking forward to this challenge and I enjoyed it a lot ! That strategy against Falkner was awesome ! Keep up the good work Sylph 💪
Remember kids, if it isn't 100% accurate, it's 50% accurate.
27:53 You could’ve gotten the Moon Stone way earlier from Tohjo Falls, once you got Surf, before the waterfall.
Nidoking is by far my fave Poison-type. Great run, Silph. :)
@ 41:28
I only ever got that once myself, and I’m so proud to be apart of that Club!
7:47 For Falkner, life is like a sandwich, no matter which way you flip it the bread comes first.
10 year old me though water was effective against poison because water can clean a pile of sludge
Ten year old me would say why isn’t ice weak against waters it literally freezes water therefore it gets beaten 🤣 elementary logic
I like how he was going with “toxic” people for your poison rub lol
This is a really interesting run. It’s surprising just how many poison type encounters you get before the 1st gym badge in hgss. This run is changing how I view poison types lol
@ 25:22
Remember, the Cloyster is a boy, so that has other implications in and of itself.
10:21 I'm 31. Almost 32. 😶
The years just keep passing by.
I'll be a thousand years old one day but I'll still be playing Pokemon gens 1-7.
Thanks for the new video I love your content man keep making these new videos!
Ready for my weekly "Man oh man!"
...did you name them all after toxic celebrities??? That's brilliant!
Omg i laughed so hard at the arbok and victrebell joke😂😂😂 I'll never unsee tht again
43:10 Britney looks like it’s standing in the freddy faztwerk position
Thanx. Gen 2 is my favorite game. Poison is my favorite type. Gengar is my favorite Mon. Crobat is my second. This run was made for me lol. Thanx Silph.
Love the Pokemon Conquest music at the start, would love to see you attempt a challenge in that game sometime!
It’s a toss up between Gengar and Crowbat IMO for which one looks the best when you are dressed as a Rocket.
Great run silph I've enjoyed this one
I love these games. Following Pokemon still make me very excited=) Great challenge run, thank you=)

So the AI will sometimes use uneffective moves against you, if they calculate a killing blow. This is super important for Nuzlockes :)
I know people think of Dark type when they picture the "Evil" archetype, but I've always liked Poison type more. They're just so gleefully wicked.
Okay this is a super fun run I like seeing underrated pokemon
Silphs vids are honestly real chill to watch 🔥
You naming Nidoking Ray J and Nidoqueen Kim was godly 😂
Seeing how well you finessed the whole game with minimal risks and solid type-coverage, I'd say you're a certified Poison-Type Gym Master
I love both the Nido (I usually try to evolve both in Fire Red/Leaf Green) but most of the time I end up using Nidoking. However I *love* Nidoqueen and she needs all the love she deserves.

Could have picked up a bee drill in the bug catching contest
You could but under Nuzlocke rules, it's only the first wild Pokémon encounter that can be obtained and technically since Weedle appeared first, the wild Beedrill encounter is missed.
@@crazychristopher1989 weedle is beedrill he didn’t try to catch anything at the park. Therefor he could have got a guaranteed beedrill as it’s the only poison type available that he didn’t already have
I love the Pokemon Conquest music at the beginning of the game, ironically playing that now
Can you beat Pokemon ultra moon with only grass types
I felt so proud seeing Arbok get some respect on his name! Always loved its design and felt it was underrated and underutilized in the potential department.

This is great, a new silph challange run, while I drink my morning coffee and eat breakfast
It's been 14 years and I've only now found out you can get Sludge Bomb from that gate attendant after defeating Team Rocket.
I just discovered your nuzlocke challenge series. These are great. Subscribed.
15:58 it was seed flare😉

Side note: Honkai Impact 3rd is one of my favorite series. 😀
I just restarted my Heartgold save, this seems like a great idea. I am so happy I saw this video before getting to invested.
The arbok wip vs cloyster onix was a next level adult movie😂
I was looking forward for that Myke Tyson clip when Kurt fell down the well.
Thanks for the team's photo great times indeed
The Pokémon conquest music ❤

Poison types 🔛🔝
Love the nidoking and queen nickname reference, well played
Rip Harry didn't even manage to evolve to Ariados before it was killed in the nuzlocked.
I've done a run like this, venemoth having psychic type moves made it an unusual standout
Your HG/SS nuzlockes are some of my favorite videos on UA-cam. 😊
Silph, i love the way you deliver meme in every video you made
22:37 would have been a great place to say “this video is not sponsored by Amazon” 😂
Silph: “Nobody really uses Spinarak”
Me that has the family as his favourite Bug Type Family: “Yeah…haha. Nobody 😅”
28:48
Rocket Suit+Crobat is the coolest in my opinion
Naming the Nidoking Ray J after naming Nidoqueen Kim is hilarious
Silph talking about listening to his friends complaining about back pain at the age of 30 and I’m over here at 29 holding my back thinking in my mind: “Nah it’s not that bad.”
Poison types are by far my favorite type im gonna enjoy watching this
Lmfaooo Not Kim and Ray J 😭😭. Love the runs! Been binge watching them!
That spite was so clear and nice to see
Finally a new video was waiting for this, time to enjoy
I love your commentary! Keep it up.
I would like to see you playing hacked Pokemons too, some hacks are really good to play
👍 for those who know about Kim's and Ray J's love at first sight reference lol... especially since Silph is one to talk about the clyoster and Onix refrence.
19:03 YOUR AUDIENCE IS PROBABLY YOUNG SILPH. YOU CANT BE DOIN THAT 😭
