43:52 SV seems like the perfect games for a "Under 400 Base Stats Total" Run". All the underwhelming boss fights become significantly harder and would require a lot more theorycrafting.

[@orangeaurora]

true, but then the handful of tricky main game fights like the false dragon titan, arven, final nemona, and the professor would become enormous roadblocks. not even considering the game stops pulling punches in the dlc, especially dreaded den kieran, the 4 phase ogerpon battle, the bb elite 4, champion kieran, and terapagos being absurdly strong

[@megellen5357]

I still think he could do it.

[@FlygonHG]

Power creep actually means there are very few eligible pokemon in later gens for the 400 BST. Even Spidops has 404 BST and thats the lowest fully eveolved mon from gen 9 😂 so I'd need to adjust the limit i think

@EeveeHawkFan youve got a point BUT in my defense there is not a separate bug and spider type so in the pokemon universe Muffet WOULD be a bug specialist since spider pokemon are bugs. Though double in my defense bugs as a word often (incorrectly) refers to not just insects but most lil creepy crawlies, hence the fun meme of "shrimps is bugs" which is not true but i love it anyways

I thought Grass Cat Pokémon was a good classification. There is such a thing as cat grass, and Sprigatito is a cat with grass magic. On it’s own it doesn’t sound clever, but then you start thinking about how cats go nuts for cat grass and the myth is that they get high off of it, and Sprigatito looks like weed

How come you didn’t change the natures of your Pokémon. I think after the 5th gym you can buy mints

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

I really don’t think you need to worry about Katy’s pastries. You can see her wearing gloves all the time; her hands are clean. Not to mention, why would Bug-types be any less sanitary than any other type? I’d rather let a Tarountula touch my food than, say, a Wooper. (No hate to Wooper; I love Wooper, but given how muddy they always are, I wouldn’t want one to touch my food.)

[@hollowinside9511]

Also keeping bugs is a fairly common hobby IRL and I don't think a baker who has a pet mantis or tarantula would be bizarre or unnerving

[@dominickucela6144]

@@hollowinside9511 I would certainly be unnerved. Mantids creep me out and I'm terrified of spiders. I'd be fine with some other bugs, like ladybugs or butterflies, or even crickets and cicadas.

[@hollowinside9511]

@dominickucela6144 I never said they necessarily kept the bugs IN THE BAKERY wtf Also how are mantids less "normal" than any other bug? I know the answer is social conditioning but I'm just trying to get you to be rational and realize there's nothing about a mantis that's any more "dangerous" or creepy than like, any other bug

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

@hollowinside9511 Phobias aren’t rational. You’re completely right about mantids, but you can’t just tell someone to logic away a phobia. Overcoming phobias is a difficult process that can take a really long time. Even logically knowing that mantids aren’t dangerous, they’re going to struggle to control the fear response.

[@hollowinside9511]

@tsifirakiehl4250 theres a difference between a phobia and using said phobia as an excuse to insult and justify unnecessary hatred towards a literal animal that categorically couldn't have done anything to deserve said hate. It's an uncomfortably common pattern with various "scary" animals that often leads to said animals being killed based simply on appearance or making humans uncomfortable, which has genuinely devastating consequences depending on the animal targeted. (Ocean ecosystems often struggle to recover after the mass murder of great white sharks - a very ecologically important predator - bc of Jaws)

The "PBS Kids sandworm from Dune" bit absolutely threw me for a loop, especially after all the popcorn bucket jokes

[@onnivinpelzel6368]

Yanno, I've always liked that Nemona is actually an already accomplished trainer to a certain degree and she's continuing to train new pokemon and improve, and that she's having battles against newer trainers with her newer team to help both grow. It kind of defies that old joke about having a level 100 Gyarados and getting challenged by a route 1 bug trainer you snuck past when you were there for the story.

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

Yeah, I love what they did with Nemona. She’s effectively completed the game and gotten bored with always winning, so she’s using underleveled teams to train the player into a real challenge for her. That’s a really fun twist on the classic rival character.

[@danielhale1]

The hard thing about Scarlett and Violet is you can absolutely see the potential. A few really remedial fixes, not even fixing bugs just fixing design, would DRASTICALLY improve them both for normal play and challenge runs.

[@sunnysilver8107]

I love the alternative FlygonHGs and the ad segways so much that I never skip the ad segment- not to mention seeing PoppyHG always brightens my day ❤

[@arininquotes8396]

Would love to see a redemption nuzlocke (or any game) using only pokemom that have died before the Elite Four in a previous run!

[@hyperbiscuit2284]

I propose a Farmlocke. You can only use farm animals (pigs, sheep, chickens, horses, cows, etc.) and also you have to do a verse of Old McDonald for every encounter and make up a sound for each one.

[@markniesche9208]

LOL that green and yellow pew pew to your head joke caught me off guard by the darkest joke I've ever heard you say

[@jfreemandrums]

Would love to see you tackle the Indigo Disk DLC. The double battles were super challenging, ik you've expressed that Scarlet/Violet aren't your FAVORITES, but i think that with the held items and relatively competitively designed teams, the DLC would provide a good bit of fun for you

[@metcanalesandro6769]

I can't believe I guessed correctly :))

[@JustAnotherHaiku]

The FlygonHG cinematic universe continues to expand. Anyways, the thing about Scarlet and Violet is that if you don't already like them, it'll be hard to go through them over and over again. I think you should treat these games like you do with Gen 7--only play them every once in a while. I feel like if any Pokemon game is a candidate for burnout, it's these ones, so don't force yourself to try to play them. (P.S. I am typing this as a ghost. I did not survive the test.)

[@darkestlight660]

Agreed, I actually really liked these games, but I understand why people don't.

[@mitkitty]

​@@darkestlight660 same. Gen 7 is also my favorite so i think im a rare breed of pokemon fan lol The critiques for SV are totally valid and not wrong, but i cant help but love them

[@Shards_of_the_Goddess]

Kind of wild that this is the first generation where people have figured out you can just runover pokemon with a big truck instead of fighting it

[@phantom31971]

I'm just appreciative to FlygonHG as most other challenge runners I've seen stop at the disappointing champion, despite my opinion that the real champion of the region is Nemona (has the title, victory road ends with her, actual decent team). Not only did you do that, but the other two roads as well. Can always count on quality content!

[@jroyko1]

Absolutely cannot wait for the all horse run featuring copperajah

[@IrfanFakhrianto]

its a shame that dlc2 is legitimately a cool challenge but theres so much you have to go through to get there. would love to see at least one video doing it tho, see how it works out.

[@user-vp4yo3px2f]

Interesting point in the end. I believe the possibilities are what makes S/V so easy. Tons of pokemon, variaty of type combination, broken moves like Flower trick, 150 TM's and easy way to obtain them. Ban TM's and the game gets more challenging.

[@nickwilliamsen5798]

Idea to make the Scar/Vi challenges more interesting: regardless of how many encounters there are, you can have only 6 Pokémon. Nothing allowed in the box. Can only get new members (after the initial 6) if something dies.

[@Tobi2x4]

Once again, I love all the puns/dad jokes you make. I will say though, Sada definitely isn't the worst mom. Second worse, absolutely. But Lusamine is definitely worse, imo.

[@BJGvideos]

We just haven't had a whole lot of bad moms in this series which is a shame when there's so many terrible fathers. Though I wouldn't count the robot because she's not Arven's mother. Maybe if she builds a little robo-Arven as a companion wherever she ended up, or if she's able to return and they agree to see each other in a parent and child relationship, but as it stands the robot has no children.

[@bolt_beam]

You should do an indigo disk nuzlocke as well, it's basically the equivalent of doing Kanto in HGSS.
