I imagine having a spredsheet with all loading zones of the games and wariting down where they are going to and organizing along the way would be my first thought. Any clue how he does it?
I really can't put my finger on why I think Flygon's playthroughs seem the best. Maybe its the editing, the comedic timing, the strats.... I've seen a lot of YTers pick this up, but noone with this level of sheer likeability and charm - without ever going over the top. This shit to me is the adult equivalent of Sunday morning cartoons - incredibly comforting and always a treat to watch!
for me it's him, he is really genuine and chill and I love his energy. I mean I cannot put my finger on too on why he give me this vibes, but surely it's for the personality
its a mix of him being chill, funny without crazy editing, my favourite childhood game and the strats and storyline he comes out with, every video is genuine hard work
Honestly Flygon, its been a hell of a journey seeing you sprout from a Channel with a few hundred to collaborating with Successful youtube channels , I am as curious about your growth as your content
Your community is not helpful at all. Joined your discord, everyone actively ignores you when asking advice on how to download the emulator or whatever it is to play the game. You’d think people would help out, instead you get smart remarks and shunned. I just want advice on how to play on my computer. Haven’t played Pokémon since I was 12, I miss it. This guys discord server isn’t gonna help.
@@t9foggy are they all the same? Which ones are safe? The benefit of a community is being around those that have more experience than you and are willing to share. Ignoring people as well as telling people to “look it up” doesn’t promote a healthy community. Or at least one that I don’t want to be a part of. Is it really hard to help someone out?
Smallant is actually the reason why I started following you! I didn't know you before this race, but I thought you were so entertaining that I started to binge watch all your previous videos. I'm really glad I found you and that these collabs actually help creators getting new viewers ^-^
Throwing shade with the thumbnail before any of us click play. Also "I'm sidetracked because I found God" absolutely eliminated me. That deadpan was perfect.
Now that you’ve played Smallant in his wheelhouse I’d be interested to see if you could give him a run through on a hardcore nuzlocke so he can see you in your element
So small ant has done a few and knows how to approach the runs. I think the best approach is note taking like point crow ( he had like a spreadsheet and each town and building etc...). And thinking like smallant - getting an Abra, checking behind hms and what not. That being said. That was a Killer second attempt. You didn't do bad at all! Really enjoyed the content
Delivery of the joke "I'm a little dubious. If I was a disc I'd be a dubious disc" with the most monotone straight face completely sent me Hahaha. Love your videos Flygon!
The save state mess ups and the note taking differences make such a huge difference. And smallant baiting out literally the most info from the smallest questions.
One thing I really like compared to other randomizer map races is how this was two attempts in one video. I think it's interesting to see how strategy changes between attempts
"I googled it, you're messing with me I hate you!" Hahaha Smallant is good and he knows it and he's not afraid to abuse his knowledge to mindgame others, but at the same time he does it in a funny way, not as a way to flex his superiority, I respect that
SmallAnt now officially holds the speed run record of the fastest time to earn a PHD, is there anything this guy can't do? This was actually really fun to watch, although I'll be waiting for the ''save stupid' emote hahaha!
I love how they both don't know that Dialga and Palkia have one of the highest catch rates out of all Pokemon, let alone Legendaries. For the Lord Of Time and Lady Of Space, they sure do like being in a Pokeball.
Dialga and palkia have a catch rate of 30 in platinum, which is lower than every future box legendary until sword and shield, and is no where near high compared to many other non legendaries.
@@stigmaoftherose Really? I didn't know that. They're so easy to catch in Platinum that I thought they were some of the easiest Pokemon to catch in the series. That's interesting.
@thefirstcurse3123 legendaries catch rates are really weird, and for the most part every single one prior to dialga and palkia had a rate of 3(besides kyogre and Groupon with a rate of 5) so by comparison they are 10x easier to catch in those games than any past legendaries. However starting in gen 5 almost every box legendary had a rate of 45 and then when they were all re-obtainable in future games they were dropped back to 3 such as in ultra wormholes or soaring above Hoenn. One other reason is the catch rate formula actually compares max hp to current HP in such a way pokemon with bigger max HP numbers are easier to catch at lower health. So at level 70 their max hp is much higher than most level 50 or 45 legendaries.
Subscribing around 10k subs and watching your growth has been really awesome. Seeing you colab with large creators like smallant is so cool to see! Keep up the great content!!
You know, I watch only 2 streamers. My neck still hurts from the double-take I did when I saw this video. So glad to see you both, and love your hilarious chemistry
Ah the universe is balanced finally. This is gonna be a video I watch and rewatch for years to come. Two of my favorite creators in one video. So proud to see the channel blowing up
I really enjoyed the dynamic between you two where you have a fun little rivalry but are still very positive and nice to each other. I loved watching you both learn how each other’s tells when you lie. The camaraderie and competition between both of you is such a great mix - I would love to see more of you two collabing :)
Even though i don’t particularly enjoy these types of challenges, i’m glad that you do them. Brings some diversity to the channel and clearly you like doing them!
Only being watching your videos for a little bit but your hardcore nuzlockes are brilliant and your narration is good background noise :) excited to watch and see more videos in the future!
I feel kinda proud to see how much u have grown since i watched u when ur released ur very first video, seeing u now w almost 200k and collaborating w such a big youtuber is so wild, but it's soo deserved ofc! Ur videos had excelent quality since the start! Tysm for the awesome content as always doctor hg!
God I've watched all of your vids during the last few days due to this race and I think your content is awesome! Love your general energy and the unique twist to the challenges you do :)
Two of my favourite youtubers/streamers collabing on a long video? This is absolutely perfect to watch while relaxing before going to work the night shift, thank you Dr.HG and Smant
you did really well! SmallAnt is just insanly good at randomizers, but you stood your ground, great run! It's great how positive and hyped up you were for both runs.
I think the craziest thing about this is how positive you stay lmfao I’m way too competitive to stay so happy about losing like that lmfao. Like, not rage-inducing, but definitely enough to be “:/“-inducing lmfaooo Props tho, that second one was close~
I love how no matter how many of these randomisers I watch, golbat is such a meta early game encounter because it's common in victory road, high levelled, reasonably strong, and can stick around for fly later on.
Don't know if others noticed it, but I find pretty ironic how "Finale" from Undertale started playing right when Smant found the 8th gym, he really can bend reality to his will
I might've already said this on another one of your videos but god damn man your voice is just so sweet to listen to, i think that's why I can watch thousands of your nuzlockes in a row because your voice is just so good and soothing for some reason
Love your positive attitude haha. Don't be so hard on yourself though, you did super good for your first crack at this type of race and against the champ especially! Great job 👊
“Fictional text!”
“Fictional response!”
Your transparency is consistent even outside of nuzlockes
Wish his nuzlockes were that consistent.

SmallAnt just has such a good note taking system down, it’s won him so many of these randomizer
He’s got a game of chance down to a science
He's pretty familiar with the maps too.
With him, luck is a skill.
Especially compared to pointcrows chicken hand writing in his video where he randomized everything
I imagine having a spredsheet with all loading zones of the games and wariting down where they are going to and organizing along the way would be my first thought. Any clue how he does it?
"Honestly it's an honour just to uh get pounded by him" ~FlygonHG 2022
Dr. HG no 💀
I'd watch that po*n

Welcome to the Flygon Family :)
Smallant is making me discover a lot of UA-camrs!
This isn't fair. I always know who to root for in these things, and it's always smallant. How dare you tug my heart in two directions at once.
"the fact he hasnt found it means its most likely locked behind an hm" smallant is so big brain its nuts
It is big brain but also common sense as a lock in the game is due to story or it’s hm related lol
@@domenicavallone28 yeah but it's easy to forget them, specially on gen4 where most of the time HM just give an item basically
He remembers the Waterfall.
A Flygon and Smallant collab? The universe really did this huh

I’d love to see them do a soul link tbh
yes that'd be great
smallant is such a monster I'd be interested as heck to see something like that

Smallant: I might not win this.
Megalovania immediately starts playing.
Smallant: Of course I won it.
The mom subbing and then you telling her you’re trying to humble him was the funniest two second clip I’ve heard all week
this is the collab i've always wanted
im a huge fan of both of your channels
"Fictional text!" and "Fictional response!" is definitely my favorite use of the discord thumbnail
You racing with smallant first is like a scripted boss battle you have to lose in the beginning of some RPGs.
i saw the title and gasped man good for you this is awesome! Can’t wait to go finish the video!
One thing I really like compared to other randomizer map races is how this was two attempts in one video. I think it's interesting to see how strategy changes between attempts

Your performance between the first and second run was EXPONENTIAL. Congrats dude.
SmallAnt now officially holds the speed run record of the fastest time to earn a PHD, is there anything this guy can't do? This was actually really fun to watch, although I'll be waiting for the ''save stupid' emote hahaha!

These hit different when you're cheering for both runners. Great stuff.
Flygon : "HHhhh ....."
Smallant : so you have chosen death
also, how in the world don't you use chimchar taunt to catch abra? it learns it at 9 iirc
I was thinking that too! That's what I did in my nuzlocke when i encountered Abra as my first one
Subscribing around 10k subs and watching your growth has been really awesome. Seeing you colab with large creators like smallant is so cool to see! Keep up the great content!!
Love seeing you branching out and doing more things! I'd love to see more videos like this
First time I was hoping smant would lose. Was fun seeing 2 masterminds like this
a collab i was not expecting but am overjoyed to see! it's been so cool to see all your growth these past few months, well deserved!
You know, I watch only 2 streamers. My neck still hurts from the double-take I did when I saw this video. So glad to see you both, and love your hilarious chemistry
Ah the universe is balanced finally. This is gonna be a video I watch and rewatch for years to come. Two of my favorite creators in one video. So proud to see the channel blowing up
Tanner: I'm not wasting time catching Darkrai. It's not strong enough
This guy: 5 minutes on an Onix
Let's goooo, honestly so happy that you're getting all these collabs and doing these challenges with other creators! Super excited to see what's next
Nice! Two of my fave pokémon creators collabing. You totally crushed it that second attempt too! So close to winning, good job!
Biomed engineering PhD? Fuckin wow, well done. I'm legitimately impressed
THIS IS EVERYTHING I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED. THANK YOU SO MUCH
SmallAnt is actually how I found you months ago! I was watching his challenge runs and you got recommended, and here we are!
Even if I wasnt interested in this video, I would have clicked out of respect for the thumbnail. What a legend

That rematch was honestly really good and close. I wanna someday do randomizer races. It looks really fun!
i will never get over "God is in the church"
You two should consider doing a soul link nutzlocke together, that would surely be great!
Honestly, I'm so proud of you and your journey. A video with SmallAnt!!!! I'm so happy for you!!
10/10 thumbnail. Had to comment bc of that. I’m sure I’ll actually watch the video one day. Keep up the good work.
SmallAnt continues to stay undefeated in Pokémon Randomizer Races 😂 he absolutely dominated this one.
Phenomenal video with two phenomenal creators. What a delight!
God I've watched all of your vids during the last few days due to this race and I think your content is awesome! Love your general energy and the unique twist to the challenges you do :)
Yeeesssssssss it has finally happened. Flygon is finally cool enough to be invited to the cool kid table

Idk why but "it could be h-canalave" really got me

Now we need a nuzlocke competition between both of you! Can't wait if that happends
I love how little smallant seems to care when he finds cynthia and the 7th gym haha hes a trained veteran at this!
I usually root for Ant in these, but my loyalties are tested on this one.
Im genuinely happy to even see this video i mean all i’ve been watching was your nuzlocke on repeat
If you think about it you got second place. Still got a podium spot let's go!
Two of my favorite challenge streamers doing challenges together? Glorious.
What an amazing collab to wake up too! I'm so excited two of my favorite UA-camrs doing a collab I never expected!
Love that you are giving smaller streamers like that small ant guy a chance 🤣
Love you fly guy
I remember when you only had 4 videos on your channel. It’s awesome to see you with almost 130k and collabing with SmallAnt!
This was a fun one. You two are a great match for these types of versus things!
I love SmallAnt and Ive also seen nearly every video on your channel, so this was great to see pop up on my feed
Haha this was great, id love for more of these in the future. Such a great competition
Imagine being the first gym leader in a region and you're challenged by a 10 year old with the God of time

I remember watching Smallant's stream and it was real fun watching him struggle against tropius
That last run was so close! By the time he beat Cynthia you had everything mapped out
