So someone thought "I love the Battle Pike. BUT WHAT IF THE WHOLE GAME WAS THE BATTLE PIKE" and thus Rogue was born. I can dig it.

[@slimegod9693]

That's called sadomasochism

[@athenaraines]

“What if the whole game was the Battle Pike on PCP”

[@JovanaSanchez000]

Final boss should have been Lucy! ...And then she tells you can get the gold symbol if you do this again 21 times!

[@camheclutch1]

900th like

[@rammus5672]

Best chat moment I legit died 😂 33:00 - Swampert dies Chat: “dw set up with shuckle and possible sweep” 33:03 - Trainer sends out Groudon Chat: “Alright boys it was a good run”

[@lohgock555]

"you need a pokemon thats good for shuckle" Groudon comes out "Thats not good for shuckle" 🤣

[@kfagan0406]

I definitely want to see a second run! Awesome video dude, hope you had as much fun making it as I did watching!

[@zeldaball8911]

I second this.

[@abrarkadabrar7829]

Third. Agreed

[@Altair1243WAR]

Yes! This was very fun to watch

[@FrostyFyre]

💯 agree

[@onfire7690]

33:03 was imo by far one of the funniest moments in FlygonHG history 😂

[@Notabot-2112]

And the person in the chat that says "pray this mon is good for shuckle?" "that is not good for shuckle"

[@onfire7690]

​@@Notabot-2112 didn't see that one. Great! 😂

[@bubblesofthecoast6393]

The Flygon at the end was just icing on the top

[@cmercado8292]

One word chat

[@DonCarlosBack]

What I really like about your content is that you upload the failed attempts, that way we can't know what's going to happen and i love that. I would love to see more emerald rogue content ❤

[@ribjoh98]

So true!

[@sgtunderscorewadsworth7176]

That Flygon was borderline poetic, if you ever get the chance to use one in a challenge run again you have to name it Icarus, never forget the time you flew too close to the sun 👍🏻

[@raerae304]

Don't beat yourself up! I'd love to see more of this challenging game.

[@EarthRo]

Should I play Emerald Rouge

[@Alexander_Grant]

@@EarthRo no

[@link2time]

That final mon reveal was amazing in this roller coaster of a video. I love the editing choices you made (especially the music comically winding down with mon reveals) and the ROM you chose. I'd love to see another video like this. I imagine you went outside your comfort zone a bit due to the lack of calcs in a run like this, but I hope you don't look at this as a failure despite what you said at the end. Roguelikes are all about the journey, not the ending. As far as content goes, this video was flawless and is one of my favorites. As a player you obviously want to win, but as a viewer I think we all appreciate your style and humor within a well made video and don't put too much thought into the outcome of a run. Additionally, I really like hearing your reflection on a lost run which is something we don't get as in depth with other runs. Your excellent Nuzlocking skill is only one of the many reasons this channel is so popular (and my favorite Nuzlocke content) IMO so I hope you don't get too down on yourself. Thanks for the great video! :)

[@godminnette2]

It was crazy to enter this stream from the pchal raid just to see Flygon losing it as Absol went down.

[@settheworldonfire94]

It’s wild how all of that snowballed from not using rain dance with Roxanne. I’d love to see another run of this!

[@Merlesbestfriendalex]

I'd 100% watch more of these

[@ZunkleFunkle]

That throw happening at the same time as a Twitch raid was just salt in the wound. Great run though!

[@exia0616]

And it was Jan/Pchal who did the raid

[@illegalmemedealer3549]

It’s not about how you fail. It’s about how you get back up again. Which is why we NEED to see more videos on this game

[@Salotl]

Wiping to a flygon.... the poetry, the pain. Still, this was so cool, going into it blind and you got so far! Even with the randomness, you've definitely learned a ton from this one that you can take into the next! I hope to see more of these.

[@Kittius]

20:43 the gameplay here was truly exhilarating, a testament of representation by a finely crafted Hardcore Nuzlockesman such as yourself. The emotion, the drama, the action! If this keeps up, you'll be reaching 100 million in no time flat!!!

[@jasonandrews1770]

Seeing T-tar kill Lapras gives me such mixed emotions. Two of my faves

[@henrymars6626]

Now imagine how Matti felt wiping to a Flygon

[@Aviplotbunny]

I love the idea of playing this game every now and then! It has a lot of opportunity to make really unique runs, so it’s a nice change of pace-both for us as viewers and you as the content creator. Just keep doing your FlygonHG thing, and we’ll be here to enjoy it!

[@jj4123]

It’s really easy to set up on pc. You can even do it on mobile.

[@punamagarwal909]

the ending got me man i definitely wasnt expecting it i mean losing to your channel's face is so damn ironic you definitely did really great man for your 1st try y know this game can get pretty difficult considering the fact that you can sometimes run into teams such as choice band close combat speed boost blaziken at the situation where you have no ghost types

[@dragoniteisbased]

Really glad to see that you’re playing this, I’ve been having a lot of fun with this so seeing you play this just made my Saturday!

[@IrfanFakhrianto]

definitely want to see more content from the infinite content machine that is emerald rogue!

[@koi5764]

34:13 I’ve never heard a more pained exclamation of grief, I am in tears, utterly devastated, generations later will still be able feel flygon’s cry of defeat and anguish 🫡

[@gillrose9075]

Love the "rogue" elements name theme! I had an Absol named Mercury in Pokémon X who was my first-ever set up sweeper.

[@liliflower1376]

I'd love to see a second run! With those upgrades you get after your first run are awesome! The safari zone and going in with items already in your bag, seeing how you decide to begin your run to give yourself the best chance of success, or to handicap yourself, will be super interesting!

[@Pikarose150]

This rom hack is essentially the gift that keeps on giving, it has different maps each time and I don't know if mono type nuzlockes would even be possible in this game with how random it is but it seems like a blast. You'll get em next time Flygon. And just in my opinion, technically the revival labs does violate the "a pokemon dies its gone forever" aspect of nuzlockes to make the game harder, but this game is already cracked and you are at risk of a curse if you revive a pokemon, thus still making the game hard even with the revival. Anyone who watched Bloody's recent video on this game -SPOILER FOR THAT VID HERE- saw that she got to revive Aang her shiny Umbreon to hard carry her through the rest of the game, but she suffered a curse that granted every move her opponent made a 10% to activate a quick claw effect. So she ultimately lost the run to a Hydreigon that got multiple quick claw activations in a crucial battle. I like the idea that you have to struggle with the idea that bringing back a really good mon you lost may actually doom your run down the line.

[@tmasterlordoflightning4754]

This game does have mono-type challenges as part of the quest system; one for all 18 types. They are absolutely, positively BRUTAL and almost necessitate item usage in battle. I’ve only managed 3 of the 18 quests myself, and not for lack of trying. I have 130+ hours in this game. I would be impressed if he could Hardcore Nuzlocke a monotype challenge in Emerald Rogue, because as far as I’m concerned, it’s impossible under hardcore rules.

[@Pikarose150]

@@tmasterlordoflightning4754 that's really cool, maybe we can see some monotype runs in the future.

[@nicolast6299]

we definetly need a second video of emerald rogue

[@hxllownest]

I’ve been playing this game for a couple months and loved every second. The Discord community is so helpful. If you like a challenge this hack is for you!!

[@PerfectFlyer4]

This was super fun to watch. I'd love to see you tackle this romhack again! A super motivating ending too. Keep on keeping on, Dr. HG.

[@th3_b1itz87]

Funny, I always thought of a nuzlock like a seeded roguelike way to play pokemon since you're usually getting different encounters each run, but this is really cool!

[@im-ivy-now]

I can already tell this is gonna be incredible. Thanks for the consistently amazing content!

[@grieveromega6060]

I love how much screen time Lapras had in this run. Great vid!

[@acewylden3766]

I love Emerald Rogue and would absolutely adore seeing all your future attempts on whatever channel you deem best for them, though I personally enjoy your edited playthroughs here the most

[@jesseo2103]

I’d never heard of this before but I’d love to watch you do many more playthroughs. Also your reaction to losing to Groudon really showed you’ve got the passion, another great video FlygonHG!

[@Platinumyo]

Hell yeah, I just watched the VODs. This romhack's fantastic.

[@stellaanderson570]

Loved this video!! As someone who has yet to complete a hardcore nuzlocke of Emerald Rogue myself, it was really inspiring seeing just how far you had made it in your first attempt! Hope you keep makin these :)

[@Yashraj-iy1wl]

I loved this one so much. You have become so good that only a randomizer provides you any challenge and this one is so perfect. Please do this multiple times.

[@savagemack3240]

This might be your best video man, your commentary and writing and editing have gotten so good and fun and this was a blast to watch

[@edwardmitchell9285]

Definitely need more runs, I get what you say about showing defeats, but I always enjoy watching you overcome that and eventually winning!

[@rustyspottedcat516]

I wouldn't be surprised if he did a part 2 if this video got popular enough.

[@bellringgames8225]

This was just as fun to watch live as the video, keep up the amazing work! I would love to see more future videos on this hack because it is so fun with the heavy random elements at play

[@xAshuriix]

I love this game and watching you play it so methodically was an awesome experience! I would love to see you play more on the channel, especially with the options you get after you beat your first run. You can customize the game so much, it's unreal.

[@sammilksword5716]

Finally found time to watch this; been loving the streams. This was really well-edited and the commentary was really entertaining; didn't even matter that I'd technically seen the run already. Great stuff!

[@ScubaShark8857]

I’d love to see more Emerald Rogue challenges! It’s cool to break free from the samey-ness of the main pokemon game challenges sometimes

[@user-mx4is4fx3c]

This was the most entertaining video you've made in terms of playthrough. I definitely hope to see more Rogue content in the future.

[@JTBren]

This was a super cool video. I would love to see more Rogue on the channel, Flygon! Thanks for all the fun content!

[@iqcrazy9762]

I’d love to see more of these runs! Great to watch while I do some runs of my own!

[@Dzyntara]

More Emerald Rogue!! This was such a fun video and such a great breath of fresh air for your challenge videos. I can't wait to see how much you improve for the next run!

[@bobkingofseagulls9884]

Great video! After years of nuclocke videos I've kinda gotten to know all the surprises games throw at people, so this romhack is a breath of fresh air as a viewer. Hopefully you make more content like this in the future.

[@Planetthegreat]

I have honestly been waiting for the day you played Pokemon Rogue, so HECK YES I'd love to see more! This was such a good vid!

[@joeykopinski]

While I don't like seeing you fail, especially so close to the finish, I'm glad you show these videos to us. It makes it more rewarding when you do succeed. Love your content man, keep it up!

[@Cinderbox]

I really enjoyed this I think you should definitely do more videos of this game. Seeing you think on your feet without being able to rely on calcs is super fun.

[@jumborancher]

Was watching the VODs on the VOD channel when this was posted. I appreciate how you're one of the few nuzlockers who actually show your failed attempts because I think too many skim over them.

[@PokestickGoodTimez]

More of this would definitely be cool! I enjoy how the randomness and partial unpredictability provides a different kind of challenge compared to nuzlocking the games we now know like the back of our hand.

[@TummyAche128]

Been kinda burnt out on pokemon for a bit, but this immediately sparked my interest back into pokemon!! Thank you so much for all the content, Flygon

[@DerrylHopkins]

I definitely want to see more of this ROM hack! :o

[@timmaia5082]

Super fun watch, definitely looking forward to a potential part 2!

[@xTheDarkTiger]

Watching through the video right now, I hope you continue to make more of these. So entertaining.

[@Kim_Witt]

I love how the bg music just slowly shambles and slow mos into a halt as Groudon makes its abrupt entrance at 33:01, really reminds me of our band rehearses when instructor just yells at us mid playing

[@naomiseadragon2676]

I'd love to see more Emerald Rogue videos! This game looks like a lot of fun!

[@bartvansliedregt5482]

Oh please do keep running this! It is great to see you do it. Very fun video!

[@ndr8128]

Please post more of this game! This was so much fun to watch

[@kennethgonzalez721]

Amazing run either way i had tried the game before and it took me 3 different runs to actually beat it and you did amazing on your first one. Hope to see another one

[@fluidhighway]

Really enjoyed this video dude! Big learnings from those last 2 fights I'm sure, can't wait for you to beat Emerald Rogue soon

[@Ryan-Louis]

Absolutely would love to see you nuzlocke this more. Easily one of my favourite videos from you!

[@Novadolls]

I absolutely loved this video, and would definitely like to see you take another crack at it!

[@fernandogordillo9347]

That was super entertaining mate! Great way to bring some variety to the channel, loved it!

[@Jeenzzz]

I would love to see more challenges like this. The randomness made it extremely engaging because I never had a clue of how the game would transpire. The fact that you couldn't actually plan ahead like you would in a normal nuzlocke seemed to have made it a lot harder, but it was that unpredictability that also made it loads of fun! Thanks!

[@joshen8915]

This game is actually nuts. I almost lost a Sinnoh Rainbow run to Drake, who straight up had the trio box legendaries, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. The game is hella unfair sometimes, but that’s what makes it so goddam fun. It’s all part of the game.

[@invalidusername1619]

This one was really fun to watch! Definitely looking forward to the next run!

[@AboveAvgJoe14]

I just started playing this game as well, and am LOVING it. Please keep making videos on it!

[@AhmedHussain-ju6xd]

00:29 I don't know what drug FlygonHG is on but I wouldn't mind trying it

[@andrealopezs]

I LOVED this playthrough ❤❤❤ Watched all the VODS on Twitch, I really enjoyed this, keep them coming 🤗

[@danielsukhu4282]

one of my fav runs you did - funny and interesting haha. definitely try this again!

[@chiknnuggy7978]

As I have been playing rogue myself and had a blast, it's great to see one of my favourite youtubers playing it, too! I'd love to watch another Episode of Rogue nuzlockes :)!

[@starpupilz]

I really enjoyed this one Dr Flygon! It’s really cool to see how people have made “playthroughs” more challenging. Seeing you learn and “fail” is really humanizing and the way you handle it and try to learn from it is awesome

[@frnzilla]

bro you did amazing. great job king. can't wait to see another run.

[@crackedeggs7407]

i recently just played emerald rogue, so to see this video is an absolute win!! i didn't even nuzlocke and it was so difficult for me. glad to see you play this and i hope u attempt it again in the future

[@Frenchaboo]

This romhack looks pretty fun, and not overly complicated unlike many of them, I'd love to see you do more runs of it in the future. In the meantime, I'll check it out too. No more Wiggly slander though! SHE WAS THERE TO GIVE TEAMMATES WARM HUGS AFTER THE BATTLES! 😭

[@dosquats]

GG. Great content. Happy to see a series of this especially until you win

[@kitsuneprincess4637]

I'd love to see more of these! This was so much fun!

[@tumbleweedanimations]

This is exactly why I love seeing Flygon play mote romhacks. Loved that!

[@asdfghjkpaige]

Great video as usual, man! And hey, don't beat yourself up about the loss! You did absolutely INCREDIBLE for your very first run. "Failure" is a huge part of roguelikes. Each run unlocks something new and you get farther and farther with each attempt! Can't wait to see you play more of this!

[@nathancormier4173]

This was a delight to watch live - loved the video too!

[@xHawkeyee]

Big yes to more emerald rogue runs! Not just your first success, but again when you unlock the rest of the dex!

[@kelkamer630]

That was fantastic. I'd love seeing more of these every now and then

[@veelogation3890]

You got pretty far though! It's great seeing you able to enjoy new kinds of Pokemon games with this Roguelike. I'm curious about seeing you finish a run, but that just means I want the whole journey to get there - ie. watch every run that doesn't make it all the way, too. I'm glad to see you release 'unsuccessful' runs.

[@anthonyfernandez7553]

One of the coolest nuzlocke videos I've seen in a long time (maybe ever). I will definitely be checking out this game

[@lauxo36]

This hack is so much fun, would love to see more than one run of this even after you beat it- so many possibilities! Also showcases your skill so well given that you have no real chance to properly prepare like you can usually when you know the other trainers’ teams. Super excited to see more of this, you did fantastic for your first run!

[@mateobonavento3939]

You did great for a first run. I've been having so much fun with this and the Aria of Sorrow randomizer lately and I'd love to see you attempt another run.

[@laurencehunter1544]

This was actually pretty interesting. I’d like to see more of these. Love the content

[@JAEVideogroup]

I'd love to see more of this, especially since each attempt adds more stuff to the game

[@lucasyoungers]

This was such a good video. I look forward to more Emerald Rogue in the future!

[@williamhoward7646]

I loved this video a lot as well as every video you're made up to this point and every video after this Keep up the amazing work

[@emeraldbyrne4097]

please please PLEASEEEE give us more emerald rogue content. I recently got into it and it's so fun! Sadge that you wiped but also fitting that it was a flygon. I love that you posted this, as sometimes it is about the destination, but how you got there. Keep up the amazing content!!!

[@kinou_pkm]

I enjoyed a lot the playthrough! I cannot wait for the next attempt

[@gumbawu4135]

Would definitely like to see more of this, loved it. Awesome video, Dr HG ❤️

[@davinag7186]

I totally want to see another go at this! Good luck for next time!

[@sheahon1179]

I loved this! A super exciting challenge and super amazing romhack! Hopefully we will see this again!

[@jasonisigkeit1811]

Was a blast to watch, I would be happy to see more of this

[@Nickyyyy1]

Well played man! Try again, I'm hyped to see how the next one goes!

[@Circular_Square]

This was super interesting to watch, I'd absolutely watch you play more of this game.

[@Jeser101]

I would love to see another video like this! Your content is already great, but a roguelike version of Pokemon is pure heaven!!
