Attempting the Hardest HeartGold Nuzlocke

[@Zyyk0]

Saying totodile is a bad designed starter should be handled as a serious crime. Love that lil dude with all my heart

[@WhyUHaf2BeMad]

He has always been my cousins favourite Pokémon . To this day I still call his evolution ferali-gayy-tor just to annoy him . Still works like 15 years later

[@dasadman]

At least it's better designed than Treecko

[@Gibstack]

"You have a Ninetales?? I have an EGG" epic one liner lmao

[@masterturbo2218]

Im only 2 minutes in but i love how you synced your ice punches against falkner with the music

[@Drxxyt]

thanks shoutout to the editor

unreal, that thing just blew my mind

i was thinking the exact same thing

[@arcticfoxgaming8209]

I love how we are only 1 minute 30 seconds in and drew calls bugsy a girl

[@Haxoriax]

Okay, can we talk about the music editing being ON POINT at 2:05? Ice punch animations in sync with the music - S tier content right here

[@drewco3389]

[@typhlosion7872]

I was nervously watching the health bar telling myself "please have Focus Sash" in my head as Kingdra hit the Blizzard on Flygon

[@Swollen_Goat]

I love that you named the Flygon HG. One of my favorite Poketubers. This vid was great also. Been loving the content since I found your channel.

[@Drxxyt]

[@cargoesbrrr3707]

HG the goat. I'm currently watching his eternal x nuzlocke

It’s a good day when drxx drops a new nuzlocke

This was one of the best nuzlockes I’ve ever seen. The planning was flawless; gg!

[@Drxxyt]

[@Thewindyfan]

I gotta put my insanity on the line and try a deathless hardcore nuzlocke one day

[@Drxxyt]

uh oh

[@orionganje6366]

if youre going to do rom hacks start with this one, its pretty easy

[@UltaFlame]

Be careful bro you might go sane

[@Jim-zw7ul]

i got into hardcore nuzlocking myself recently and finally beat emerald, now im running it again until i get it deathless. After do monotype challenges and eventually get into EK. I love nuzlocking so far a lot, because it feels really rewarding when u solve problems team building vise or come up with weird strats u never used before.

[@Thewindyfan]

Oh I meant to say sanity not insanity but y’all got the jist LMAO

[@rextek5421]

I recently beat Regular Plat in a Zero Death HC Nuzlocke and was so proud of myself and then I go on youtube and see Drew just owning everything

[@mithex8414]

I’ve been playing this game a lot recently. Onix in union cave literally changes the entire early game. Such a good encounter.

[@Drxxyt]

ya its crazy how much it changed the attempt

[@Cardb33]

Dude you're a legend. Your nuzlocke skills are next level.

[@wanderingtyphlosion7332]

Pokémon Challenges who? In all seriousness, this is downright impressive

[@Zezitra]

Been following for a little over a year now, really love the channel. I have also witnessed your substantial growth!! It's definitely a nice feeling to look back on where you were a few years ago to now, a ton of improvement. Happy for you bro!!

[@Drxxyt]

thanks Zach

[@g_hyperstar3609]

Glad that you played and enjoyed the game! Sacred Gold is such an enjoyable game and I had tons of fun nuzlocking it

[@Drxxyt]

yea its a classic

[@g_hyperstar3609]

@@Drxxyt Yeah. I'll be waiting for his redux to Sacred Gold. Would also like to see you doing this challenge on that game too

I'm always surprised by how few subscribers you have, these are consistently among the best Nuzlockes on the site! Excellent editing!

[@Drxxyt]

[@Andrea_Ti]

Absolutely good video of the kind, very enjoyable, competent in pokemon and you are funny but If i can make a critic i would've like to have some more "fun" contents.. jokes, cuts, added clips or photo, little chat about a curiosity.. idk something. But i really enjoyed! New sub and like! Big hugh bro 💪

Hey! Editor here. Appreciate the love!

[@Fbucketz331]

Dude, this was awesome. Editing and commentary was great and not overbearing. Felt like a 5 minute watch. Love this style of content.

[@boomerpatrol2838]

One thing to note, there are no trade evolutions in sacred gold, there are items to evolve golem, gengar and the like

[@amirmahadeo56]

8:25 the amount of jokes to be made... Thankfully this is a KZbin chat and too damn respectful

First tine watching a video of yours and it was great. I've been waiting for Drayano to remake the game, it's been on my list to nuzlocke for a while now and after watching you play through it, I might go ahead and play it myself. This was really impressive and I'm glad I got the chance to experience it

[@stonalisa3729]

Is this the remake or is it still being worked on?

[@Drxxyt]

thanks CJ im also very eager to play the remake. It was about time I came around to this romhack

[@yellowtheyellow]

"Bugsy... *she*" good job driving video engagement lol

[@FemboyLevi]

nah Bugsy is trans now /hj

@FemboyLevi Well technically they're non-binary canonically which I think is kinda cool ^^

[@nowowhere9454]

Genuinely hope you get to make a solid living out of making your content even if it's not right now. Your contribution to the whole community even in other people their videos is greatly appreciated and you make complete bangers on your own channel as well

[@Riddierid]

Nice video!!! Great job for completing this in one try. I finished Storm Silver a couple months ago as a harcorde nuzlocke in like 6 tries I think. It was so much fun and quite challenging for me!

[@Drxxyt]

thanks thanks it was a really fun game

[@fruitpunchsamuraidavid]

I really love Dray's take on HGGS, sure its not perfect but this game is so much fun!! Im so excited for its update coming soon! Great video as usual Drew

[@fireshade24]

Did he confirm he’s actively working on the update? I was under the impression he sort of stopped and put that project on the back burner

[@fruitpunchsamuraidavid]

@fireshade24 he stopped for a while and then came back to it. Currently the project is "in the works"

[@CircusHyo]

30:05 I’m sorry, WHAT the Tyranitar?

[@patrickmoughan2196]

how did all the pokémon become shiny in the elite four?

Trying scared gold as my first difficulty hack and even though I always use repel manips in main game nuzlockes I had difficulty finding out the wild levels of Pokémon in this game. So annoyed bc I’m prepping for bugsy and I would’ve got steelix instead of sandshrew in b1f union cave💔 How do you find out the levels of each Pokémon in any given area? Thanks

[@noahmiller9236]

Maybe a dumb question, but how do you know the levels of wild pokemon for repel manips? Looking at the docs, I only see a range of levels for the whole wild area, not each individual pokemon.

[@wooloosus6866]

I forgot this was hgss, so when i saw you were at the elite 4 halfway through the video i was like "oh no..." But then i remembered Kanto lol

[@BBBEVASTATOR]

27:48 You gave Milotic a Wakan berry to absorb thunderbolt so you can switch in Flygon on an earthquake… but flygon is immune to thunderbolt and the switch would’ve been free anyways right? Am I missing something?

[@drewco3389]

I think it was a 50-50 chance for Ice Beam or Thunderbolt there. Ice Beam obviously would've been terrible for Flygon

[@Drxxyt]

yea nidoking couldve ice beamed there

[@kevinshurbaj4997]

Don't know if you already said, but how did you remove evs from the game?
