@@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.

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!
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.
@@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
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.

@@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.

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!
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
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
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 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.
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.
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🤝
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!
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.
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!
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
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. :)
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
@@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.

Need any other reasons why this challenge being easy is exclusive to gen 8?
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
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.
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)
@@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
Absolutley fucking ADORED the two-party system joke you put in there. There’s never been a president i’ve liked and there never will if we keep up this one-on-one fight to the death of a government system we have going on.
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 :)
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 UA-camr play it more is the best thing to happen for me on this platform.
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 :)
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 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.
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.
“To compensate for the lack of dramatic tension, even more true in this play through, CHARMIN ULTRA SOFT” I’m dead XD never seen a better timed ad break
thank god for people such as yourself finally making the hypocrisy of the buttons clear. not many poketubers have had the gall to challenge the button establishment but you’re pushing the boundaries. A real voice of the people. Keep up the great work flygonHG, one day the scale will tip and we’ll get a myriad of colorful buttons to replace the old system.
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’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 UA-camr I love to watch. I’m so glad I found this channel and I love the humor.!🎉
A dragon type nuzlocke of Pokémon Y lost the poll for a new challenge a while ago and I was very disappointed. I was screaming with joy when I saw this video come out. Thanks for the great content.
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
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!
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!
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 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.
I liked the bit about the Rivalry calc. When you asked if we could figure out what went wrong and then cut to the new Axew I saw Rivalry and started grinning
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.
Here's a tip about fishing in G6 games (I apologize if someone said it already, I scrolled through the comments for 10 minutes and didn't find it) : Fish next to rocks. Even better if there are three of them around your line. Almost always garantees a bite.
here's a fun one! gen 6 monotype bug harcore nuzlocke! I did a non-nuzlocke version of this a few years back, and it was pretty fun, but I have to wonder how it'd go with hardcore nuzlocke rules! tbh I enjoy all of your videos, I have no real preference for challenge level.
fwiw, i really enjoyed the side tangent about the calcs. i find myself in my own nuzlockes forgetting to check things like my opponent’s held item, so having a reminder was appreciated

Ah, that puppet show! Truly great cinema, it should be nominated for an Oscar.
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
Absolutley fucking ADORED the two-party system joke you put in there. There’s never been a president i’ve liked and there never will if we keep up this one-on-one fight to the death of a government system we have going on.
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 :)
I thought it was educational AND interesting when you explained what happened with the damage calculation versus Meowstic.
Y is probably Matti's favorite game to play through right now.
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 UA-camr play it more is the best thing to happen for me on this platform.
You make my weekends so much better Flygon! A well earned treat after the work week
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 :)
Finally a Dragon type nuzlocke! I hope Ice or Ghost are next, the rarest types are the most interesting to see in my opinion!
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 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.
This is actually the best edited nuzlocke challenge. I wish there is more like this
These Kalos challenges are awesome, loving the Diantha fights. Keep up the great content! 👍
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
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
daddy
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.
“To compensate for the lack of dramatic tension, even more true in this play through, CHARMIN ULTRA SOFT” I’m dead XD never seen a better timed ad break
To be honest, I've been eagerly waiting for you to use Dragonite in one of your challenges. My favorite pokemon.
Dr. Flygon spitting straight bars with that blue button/red button speech
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 :)
thank god for people such as yourself finally making the hypocrisy of the buttons clear. not many poketubers have had the gall to challenge the button establishment but you’re pushing the boundaries. A real voice of the people. Keep up the great work flygonHG, one day the scale will tip and we’ll get a myriad of colorful buttons to replace the old system.
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’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 UA-camr I love to watch. I’m so glad I found this channel and I love the humor.!🎉
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
I played the 6th gen games for like 800+ hours as a kid and Im literally just now learning about the natural object mechanic.
Omg Sapphira! Finally the Eragon books get the recognition they deserve.
Edit: oh no :(
Like Angela say , Frog don't exist
A dragon type nuzlocke of Pokémon Y lost the poll for a new challenge a while ago and I was very disappointed. I was screaming with joy when I saw this video come out. Thanks for the great content.
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
Always fun to see the paper puppet Diantha fights, thank God FlygonHG forgot to record that one fight or else we would've never gotten these.
I would love to see a HGSS Run, just because its my favorite Region, and it has some cool Pokemon.
the paper puppet section was absolutely masterful
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!
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!
after seeing the list of all dragon-type pokemon, i wonder, when are you doing another nuzlocke on sword and shield?
Hell yes on the button analogy thank you Mr.Flygon
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 loved that paper cutout movie at the end. Your portrayal of the moves was great and I Iike the gourgeist joke :D
Suh
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
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 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.
I liked the bit about the Rivalry calc. When you asked if we could figure out what went wrong and then cut to the new Axew I saw Rivalry and started grinning
I completely lost it when you threw ice on the kingdra dude. Cant remeber the last time a pokemon video made me laugh this much, thank you.
31:04 To quote from a different game series: "Dagrom - massively misspelled Monstrosity"
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.
Here's a tip about fishing in G6 games (I apologize if someone said it already, I scrolled through the comments for 10 minutes and didn't find it) :
Fish next to rocks. Even better if there are three of them around your line. Almost always garantees a bite.
Every Saturday I look forward to MahDryBread's pokemon challenges and Flygon HG's hardcore nuzlockes. Keep up the awesome content.
The intro had me in stitches great video as always. Keep up the great content.
here's a fun one!
gen 6 monotype bug harcore nuzlocke! I did a non-nuzlocke version of this a few years back, and it was pretty fun, but I have to wonder how it'd go with hardcore nuzlocke rules!
tbh I enjoy all of your videos, I have no real preference for challenge level.
I think the skit you did for the champion is my favorite thing I've seen someone do in a challenge run
you dumping ice cubes on mushu made me laugh way more than it should've
That was fun as hell, thank you Dr. Flygon, very excited for the renegade platinum run
fwiw, i really enjoyed the side tangent about the calcs. i find myself in my own nuzlockes forgetting to check things like my opponent’s held item, so having a reminder was appreciated
