    OK I figured it out:
    --Boat: A boat is used as a "ferry" (noun form)
    --Equally: The word "equal" is used synonymously with things being fair, so "equal"y is "fair"y
    --Carnivaly: Another term for a carnival is a fair, so "carnival"y is "fair"y
    --Justy; The words fair and just are used synonymously, so "Just"y is 'fair"y
    --Cuisiney: Another term for cuisine is fare, so 'Cuisine'y is "fare'y
    --In playy: In baseball, a fair ball is one that is in play, so 'In Play"y is "Fair"y
    --Pixie: A pixie is a type of fairy
    --Tickety...I'm not sure. Maybe because you pay your "fare" to get a ticket? idk
    --Transport: To ferry someone (verb form)
    And that's the theme

    It's rare to see genuine appreciation for X and Y in these kinds of videos. Most people shit on gen 6, but in my opinion it's a completely fine gen. The designs are a bit hit or miss, sure, and the games are very easy, but c'mon, Kalos as a region has so much soul. Beautiful routes and cities, navigating it is fun because you get to skate around and ride Skiddo, the mega evolution mechanic is fun. X and Y deserve more love.

    The wipe to that random Solrock trainer is exactly why I could never do these types of run. I don't mind hard games, losing, or restarting, but having to do literally the exact same thing for hours just to return to exactly where I was earlier would just upset me. It doesn't make the run harder, it wastes my time, and that is far worse.

    • @CrimsenOverlordVideos
      @CrimsenOverlordVideos 3 роки тому +38

      If you're doing them casually, and not for a video, I'd suggest treating a whiteout as the end of an attempt but not actually starting over. Instead you just reload your last save (or something similar that's fun for you). So you're tally of attempts goes up, but you don't have to spend hours getting to the same point. Then you keep the fun of a challenge run, but get the added fun of trying to keep the whiteout tally low. And half the tedium is lost. (Assuming you like the rest of the rules behind the challenge of course.)
      The goal of the entire Nuzlocke idea was spawned from a guy trying to have more fun with the game. So as long as you're doing things that make the game fun for you then you're doing it right.

    Also, for future reference, when you Evolve Eevee into Sylveon, you only need to raise it's heart affection status to two hearts. (along with it having a fairy type move and leveling up) Which only gives you the benefit of increased experience gain, as if it was a traded pokemon gaining experience. It doesn't get additional benefits such as "avoiding the attack because it loved you" or something like that if you keep the heart status at the bare minimum. I personally would have allowed pokemon amie in this case, since the only "broken" mechanic that the Sylveon gets is just a little more experience gain compared to the rest of the party. It doesn't break out of paralysis or confusion or hang on with one hp because of love, it just grows a little faster then everyone else.

      Without toxic, protect or stat boosting attacks you won't get very far in certain battles this applies to both nuzlocke and competitive, brute force aka only using attack moves will only get you so far.

      Aren’t nuzlockes supposed to stress you out? I find it entertaining when players are doing everything they can to keep their pokemon alive.

Which is counterproductive ‘cause you’re supposed to get attached to your pokemon in a nuzlocke.

      @@ing4gi I think the point I was trying to make was that monotype nuzlockes require much more meticulous planning (at least nuzlockes in vanilla games, emerald kaizo and company obviously have some intense planning). As a viewer, I watch these vids to see how the player will overcome the immense roadblocks set by monotype runs like solving a puzzle while scraping for whatever tools you can find. It makes sense nuzlockes will stress you out in some places, but my other point is that seeing someone take an unnecessarily risky play shakes me and kinda defeats the purpose of taking on this kind of challenge run. I guess this is more opinionated though as this is my preference when watching.

For whatever reason, the Gym Leaders are a cakewalk (except probably Grant on a first playthrough) and then there’s this random double battle with two headbutting Furfrou’s that can easily wipe you if you’re not prepped for it, especially since you likely don’t have an evolved Pokémon when you encounter them.

    Idk about other people, but I think there is a difference between 'toxic stall for this battle' and 'can I beat pokemon by toxic in every battle?' I wanna watch something that I can't do/wouldn't think of doing.

    I didn’t purposefully do a hardcore nuzlocke for my fairy-only playthrough of Sword, but I didn’t lose a Pokémon and I only caught the fairy types as I went. No items or anything either.

    It's easy to come up with monotype suggestions for X/Y Nuzlockes, and while I would love to see those, I'm also curious what we can come up with that _isn't_ one of those. My first thought was a Starterlocke, where you could only use the Kalos and Kanto starters, but that might be too difficult. (Then again, you did nearly beat Diamond with two Fire types, so it's probably not impossible.) Another idea that shouldn't be nearly as hard is to only use mons that can Mega Evolve. Whether you actually _let_ them Mega Evolve or not is up to you, but that could still be an interesting way to restrict your options.

    Hey Dr. Flygon! Congratulations on your PhD! Thats huge!
    I just wanted to offer some encouragement to spite the naysayers: You make amazing videos, I really really enjoy them. You, almost exclusively, are the reason I started my first ever nuzlocke, hardcore even because I'm a masochist! I've yet to watch your video on Nuzlocke tips but I feel I've learnt so much just from watching you play.
    I haven't played Pokémon since Hoenn was released, just being a casual consumer and Pokémon Go player. But you've created such fun videos that I wanted to give it a go,and I would not have got to Leon without having watched your videos. Learning how to pivot, set-up, use items strategically, stall, use status moves, the importance of natures, how to EV train, and more. It really opened my eyes to the fact that this game doesn't just have to be hyper offence and playstyles can be diverse and enjoyable.
    Regardless of whether ypu use weather teams, stall, balance, hyper-offence, trick room or whatever, someone will always not vibe with the team and claim its a bad playstyle. I'm really sorry that people are coming out in droves to diminish the effort that you put into this videos. I think that sucks a lot. However, I want to be one of the players coming out in droves telling you how much of an inspiration you are, how entertaining, funny, emotional (RIP Paxap), silly, serious, and educational you are. It's really amazing work and you deserve congratulations for it.
    I wiped on Leon's Intelon on my 5th attempt last week, but you taught me thats okay (plus I haven't played the DLC yet) so I've just carried on. I guess I just want to say thank you, because I never would have had so much fun playing a main series game if I had never found your channel.
    So thank you, Doctor Flygon. Always, always, always play the way that brings a smile to your face ✨

I normally listen to these types of videos when I'm laying down for sleep or playing pokemon myself so I'm not usually looking at the screen but I don't really need to because your so descriptive so even though I'm not actually watching I can listen and picture whats going on.
    I normally watch your videos at least once usually when they just come out before just listening to it in the future.
    It really pisses me off when people leave hateful or mean comments on videos that are both clearly well made and aren't like spam (those accounts that just pretty much ads) or clearly terrible quality because they took like 3 minutes to put together but they've posted it like 20 times.
    I don't normally dislike videos (even before they became useless) and I don't leave hateful comments (except on this one channel about a stupid lighter ad that kept showing up in my shorts feed after repeated attempts to remove them from my feed) because everybody (for the most part) doesn't deserve to have their hardwork shit on like even if it's low quality I won't immediately just goto the comments and be like "f*** this s*** this is some low quality garbage" no because Idk whats going on in their life maybe they can't afford better equipment just yet but they are passionate about doing youtube.
    Tl:Dr- don't be a dick you don't know how long it has taken the creator of the video to make the video. And what other factors there were that went into making it. *BE NICEEE* to people and remember *you have the choice to watch what your watching* if you don't like something there are billions of other videos out there on this app alone that I've sure you will enjoy
    And in case it wasn't clear thank you so much flygonhg and honestly other creators like you ❤ love the recreation of the final fight and as I've said previously your descriptions are amazing so thank you for helping me get through many a sleepless nights with your videos

So I have a lot of respect for people like you that clearly have put tons of effort and love into their videos. And I don't know for sure but it seems like you do everything by yourself the recording the editing everything which is just mind blowing because all your videos are all so great and high quality.
      So like I said love what you do and keep up the great work! ❤

    Hello Flygon, Just want to say, I agree with everything you said about toxic stall and Set up sweeping. They are legitimate strategies, used in even competitive setting as well. While I am not completely happy with them, I understand, if someone is using it, then they probably have no other way around it. I felt real bad for you needing to reset so many times on Grass only hoenn, and loosing to champion on water types. But I do want point out that people in comments are not responsible for someone using saved states and cheating to get a better video, that is a choice the content creator made it himself. I understand that the toxic comments can fuel negativity, but I dont agree with you saying that is the reason some one cheats. Just putting my two cents, loved the video.

I basically never use setup moves because I'm really not very good at the games and despite playing them for most of my life ever since Red when I was about nine, I never really got better either. Seeing someone who actually knows what he's doing is really interesting to me.
