Have you done a food pokemon only run? That might be a fun one for Scarlet and Violet or Sword and Shield!

[@hablasetacobell]

"Machoptuah" is where I took off my headphones, paused the video, wondered what I was doing with my life, and concluded that, "well, at least I didn't take a bunch of student loans to get a PhD just to make this video so it could be worse".

[@Dutch_is_a_Weird_Language]

I, too, had to stop what I was doing to reflect. If there is a God, he probably keeps silent in a corner somewhere because He, too, is afraid of what he created.

[@a_delightful_nerd]

Amazing comments 😂

[@metaljay77]

I love this channel but watching highlight videos and hearing him drag that rotting carcass of a meme out over and over made me hope the capture would fail every time.

[@witchingstar]

Was this ghostwritten by Flygon's wife?

[@OmegaSteel429]

@@Dutch_is_a_Weird_Languagealright, Steve.

[@saltmines5761]

Nemo622, the creator of Emerald Seaglass, states that this is not a difficulty rom hack, so even on the hard mode, this is such a chill game. It looks so beautiful and has so much character, ever Pokémon feels viable to slap onto your team and almost all are fun to use, has so many of the modern QOL items up to Gen 9, and has plenty of side modes (pinball, the pacifilog safari, etc) to screw around with. It’s the perfect casual Pokémon game.

[@VerkatosEnsei]

It's such a shame that it's so easy, unfortunately

[@Pinkooru]

So nice of Drayano to make this romhack

[@bp3366]

​@@VerkatosEnseiDo a hardcore nuzlocke but you can only use 2 of your avilable moves and no set up moves, it turns me on daddy ensei

As someone who also just finished a hardcore nuzlocke of Seaglass, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one that was completely sideswiped by that space center Maxie fight

[@riolufistofmight]

Run & Bun has absorbed this man's soul.

[@SolLunaris]

The art style is just amazing. I'd love to see more generations redone in this style and with all these crazy move and ability changes.

[@epsilonr.5868]

this might singlehandedly be the best and most sincere advert for a romhack I've ever seen. Excited to play it !!

[@NoForksGiven]

Just when I thought I didn't have anything to play, Flygon is back at it again showing off a cool rom to try out

[@danielhale1]

I approve of Poppy appearing to censor unintended advertisement!

[@Shadrogon]

After reading all of those Pokémon names, I could have sworn the letter to Steven was instead addressed to someone named Stevia

[@willporter6349]

If you understand the naming theme could you explain it please, i’ve been trying to work it out and I think i’m close to having a stroke

[@Shadrogon]

@willporter6349 pretty sure it's just mangled ways of reading the first-stage Pokémon names, as if you were reading them while you had a stroke.

[@ronnieketchum1241]

You know that Wurmple you killed. It could have been a Dustox. And Dustox has Unaware. So.. IT EATS that Heracross

[@LeftHook-em6rv]

It’s a bug-eat-bug world out there

[@malthehvidegardhartz6721]

I really like that softer fan games like Seaglass makes room for blind playthrough. I feel like going in blind is a lot more interesting, both more risky and makes for more attachment, since you don't see Pokemon as tools to overcome obstacles, but just the mons you want to use for your fights!

[@MrMovieMisanthrope]

when I fought roxanne in this, every time I had a water type on the field to attack with, she switched to lileep with storm drain, sweeping me my first attempt.

[@mkvk32]

I'm nuzlocking this beautiful game on my own and now that KZbin sent me the notification that you have done it, I'm giddy as a clodsire in a mudbath.

[@PerfectFlyer4]

Spinda is one of my favorite Pokemon and the animation this ROM hack gave it is absolutely gorgeous. I love how beautiful this game is.

[@ethandowler4669]

Just started Emerald Seaglass myself a few days ago! So cool to see it here on my favorite Pokemon channel

[@joshuaplummer2160]

"diet flutter mane" in the Tate & Liza battle lol

[@braken67]

Don't know if you know but everytime you beat a gym you should go back to petalburg for new items. Eventually you unlock ability capsules. I got a Sharpness Ninjask (bug/dark) with night slash who does sooo much damage it's crazy

[@dee7352]

26:16 seeing flygon break down while drayano is laughing in chat is hilarious

[@SubtleScallion]

I followed along with this run on the Flygon Highlights channel and can't recommend it enough if you enjoy Flygon's videos on his main channel. You get to see more of his personality and you get to see the thought behind each move which is really interesting. (It's also good to have on in the background while you're playing Pokémon yourself). Thanks Flygon & Poppy

[@jeremyroyko8209]

I am so happy we get a return of the Nosey arc from daddy stone

[@backseatdriver_9989]

I would be interested to see an extra hard core nuzlocke, where the level cap is the gym leader’s lowest level, and for the elite 4 it is the weakest elite 4 member’s lowest level

[@thepunisher6674]

This game looks both like it was made in the 80s and like it was made yesterday

Would love to see MORE SEAGLASS playthroughs!!! Such a great ROM hack.

[@GreatDG]

Justice for GarchompFJ

[@Trebolt]

2:06 From what I understand its literally any first stage non-legendary/mythical including ones that don't evolve (I got a Skarmory in my playthrough) so that's just astronomically bad luck.

[@AzureTheSky]

Come on, astronomically bad is a stretch. Nidoking is a great Pokemon.

[@jackslaven-hahn2959]

Nido is awesome tho. He coulda gotten a damned dupe

[@Trebolt]

​@@AzureTheSkyTo clarify "astronomically bad luck" as in it was something that could've been found on an earlier route instead of something more exciting/rare, I'm not doubting the efficiency of the line as a whole

[@GhostKillerEntertainment]

_“all that remains is Watson’s 4th mysterious Pokémon. The mighty, terrifying, _*_mid roll ad comes in_*_ PopEye’s Wings!”_ I laughed way too hard at this 😂

[@TeebagBandit]

I think Seaglass and Emerald Crest are 2 of the best romhacks in this region. Would love to see you nuzlocke Emerald Crest next!

[@jackslaven-hahn2959]

2:28 LMAO THE KEY AND PEELE REFERENCE IS SO GOOD

[@coldfusion230]

Having gym specific weather/terrain effects in place is a stroke of genius. And it makes sense! Of course the gym leader would make sure their favorite type has the home field advantage. Imagine a water gym with perma rain whose gym leader uses swift swim or rain dish pokemon. Or Norman's gym filled with neutralising gas and suddenly he shows up with a Regigas!

[@yesterdaystomorrow5510]

Yay, it made to the main channel! It’s so interesting to watch a main channel video after watching all the highlights. This is the first time for me. Can’t wait for R&B to become a main channel video (actually I can wait, because I want R&B to be cleared the first time through).

[@RyanSmith-eo4qf]

Mildly entertaining that the naming theme inadvertently named Makuhita after the big bad from Bionicle

[@sapphiredraggytheflygon8521]

The big badS, it’s the Brotherhood of Makuta, the big bad is specifically Makuta Teradax

[@RyanSmith-eo4qf]

True, but Teridax played them all. They were never meant to share in his takeover; they were just means to an end

[@quinceekingston4335]

Chimecho being really useful and a key member of a team is fun to see!

[@elNatoo]

My eyes deceive me. This whole time I thought this game was a hack of GSC… but it’s actually an Emerald hack with a GBC art style??? I’m sold

[@malthehvidegardhartz6721]

Did... did the name Emerald Seaglass not... not give it away?

[@elNatoo]

@ I’m afraid it did not…

[@LordLucario12]

Fantastic vid as always Flygon! Honestly this vid gave me the motivation I needed to not only do a casual playthrough of Seaglass for the first time (which I've thoroughly enjoyed), but also make me want to go back and replay it as a Nuzlocke

[@fungouslobster5123]

i do applaud the reskin, i dont personally love the updated style and artwork but the effort should definitely be praised

[@iSmartMan1]

Is there a playlist somewhere with all the letters to Steven in chronological order?

[@krozyne7364]

The Stone letters get better every time he plays gen 3.

[@reddragonpress]

"Makuta" IS THAT A BIONICLE REFERENCE 😲

[@Bri_P_768]

Those nicknames reminded me of my first playthrough of Blue where in some houses it would talk about choosing nicknames for Pokemon and how some of the family didn't understand why some were chosen. They were so simple yet special haha

[@WhoCrappedInThisShack]

28:20 Freeze chances are Flygon’s kryptonite

[@appointmenteer]

god the sprite art for this game is so beautiful. ive always been a huge fan of gen 2 sprites and seeing all the art in that style is so cool. this is an awesome video!

Love the video and the game. The one thing that would have made it perfect for me would have included your reaction to the fact that Torchio follows you around. Great work!

[@valx5]

this hack is so awesome, it’s made revisiting Pokémon emerald that much better. highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t played it yet

[@BepisQueen]

I love how rom-hack creators all have different opinions. Me personally would never make Mismagius a fairy type. I get witchy vibes which would make me want to make it ghost/psychic. Then there’s Altaria. Me personally, it being enveloped in clouds is the whole identity. It deserves its flying typing, so I would keep it dragon/flying. And I know that the official mega loses its flying type, but me personally would fix that by making it flying/fairy. I think it’s cool that we all have our opinions and they’re all valid

[@joshbrandt4384]

I love that azumarill made it to the end. My favorite polemon!!!

[@HoneyStarfall]

i LOVE the ending fight with Wallace and how it went down, I saw the whole playthrough on the highlights channel- I was hoping youd make a main channel video on it!!!

Y'all, don't believe him when he says he can't stop you with the sugoi mart advent calendar. I tried eating them out of turn, and now I'm locked in his basements with the other apostates who simply do not care about the sanctity of an advent calendar. Each day, he makes us wait for the next, only eating one per day, and he won't let us out until we finish the advent calendar, fulfilling the sanctity of our respective advent calendar. I haven't seen my wife in over a week. But still 10/10 would recommend.

21:48 shows that Chonglong is a psychic/normal type so even if mismagius had a ghost type move, they were safe anyways

chonlong, the chimecho, is... psychic/steel. The normal type is the shuppet catch.

At 21:48 it is saying the move yawn is a normal type move.

Honestly, you’d think the developer of this game would improve the movesets for boss trainers, but nope. So many boss trainers use the same bad vanilla movesets.
