I have to say watching nuzlockes is a lot more fun than actually doing one myself. Mostly because I lost 2 pokemon to a damn wobuffet.

[@sanitytheorist8221]

I've been there, the only safe solution I've found is poison/confusion with stall moves haha

[@Platinumyo]

Losing a mon to wobuffet is just a rite of passage

When he mentioned Baziken that’s the moment I asked: why isn’t she using mega Gardevoir?

That speech about Arceus was legitimately hard af, I’m stealing it for my next DnD game

Fun fact fir those who dont know: Oizys is the greek goddess of anxiety, suffering, and misery. Makes sense given the encounter that was robbed.

[@tsawy6]

The quote about Gods being fallible and man copying them is def inspired by the Greeks!

Adaptability is like the Pot of Greed of these videos anytime it's relevant, only thing missing is to explain exactly what the ability does every time.

Pot of greed feels like a reference I’m not understanding. Any chance you could explain? Please.

@@rileyackison4495 not op, but according to Know Your Meme, "Pot of Greed is an infamous card from the popular trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh, which allows the user to draw 2 more cards from their deck and add them to their hand. Online, the card has gained notoriety due the fact that the anime series explains the card's function every time is used, inspiring several jokes regarding not knowing its effect, mostly under the question 'But what does pot of greed do?'"

[@washingmashine921]

Spoiler Alert i guess for the end of the video: The puppet reinterpretation at the end was truly heartwarming, since despite being a modded version of this game that is extremely challenging, FlygonHG's flair in presentation is never lost.

[@malcolmscott7986]

Absolutely the best square space segue to date, that was so seamlessly done. Hats off Dr. Flygon

[@ZygonCannar]

What? Him claiming he's not like 'other YTer's then 'Oh look I am too, wait oh nooooo' is a bit as cringe and old as time. Calm down, buttsniffer.

[@iistonton]

Nice to see gen 6 actually having challenge to it. Great video Doctor!

[@keeganbanner3035]

Is this actual challenge though Shoving Megas and Legends in every 'hard' fight doesn't allow for much challenge, there is so many more interesting things you can do with team structure and strategy

[@NateLeonhart]

@@keeganbanner3035 Finally, someone else that thinks like me. Shoving legendaries into every other mandatory battle or fully evolved (or their equivalents) into early gyms just feels like a cheap way of making games difficult.

[@Melee_Zer0]

@@keeganbanner3035he’s playing the insanity version though, it’s specifically for people who want a grueling experience. He even beat it as a nuzlocke All that said, I’m not opposed to a different style of difficulty where the ai is greatly improved and will try to bait your attacks and switch out more frequently etc. But that’s probably beyond the ability or scope of these romhacks

[@keeganbanner3035]

@@Melee_Zer0 Yeah, but again, I don't think just putting in the strongest possible Pokemon is the most interesting way to make it more difficult. Like yeah, of course gym 2 is going to be difficult when you have to fight against fully evolved Pokemon, or gym 3 is difficult when the leader uses a legendary Pokemon The AI for advanced level tactics is probably lacking like you said, but you can still do things to counter that, such as improving Pokemon movepools, giving them move sets that complement their weaknesses, give things items to couple with their moves/weaknesses. Make teams that compliment each other and actually require team building to effectively beat, make fights double battles that make use of things like weather or trick room and give them ways of countering opposing weather

[@Melee_Zer0]

@@keeganbanner3035 that is definitely a more interesting way to increase difficulty, I agree with you there. Some romhacks do those things to an extent, but not all of them. I think more double battles in particular would be a lot of fun, they open up so many more options I wish they were used more

[@alepeviani]

I really enjoy the fact that Dr. HG hired the voice of Towelie, from South Park, to dub GarchompFJ. Nice move!

[@diamonddust4486]

That was one hell of a run. From Ledybuff to those beautiful and very accurate paper puppets, it was a blast.

Hey, I've been watching your nuzlocke videos ever since your emerald grass monotype nuzlocke. And I just wanna say that I absolutely love the sense of humor that shines through your videos, often when I least expect it. There's a lot of great examples, but I honestly think the intro to your platinum nuzlocke with only baby pokemon is one of my favorite KZbin intros of all time. It's just great to see that you've stayed with this for 2 years now. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@JustAnotherHaiku]

The fact that you managed to win this on the first attempt with only four deaths is insanely (ha) impressive! I'm excited to see what romhack you do next!

[@JamesTaylor-oh1sd]

I laughed way too much this video. The way you mix amazing storytelling with jokes and ads that I actually want to watch (obviously because you are different than those other youtube squares) makes you by far the best poketuber on the platform.

[@leopoldakaleopoldalsoknown5050]

Dang! Seeing Zapdos getting taken down by a freakin snail is hard. As a child, on my first pokemon yellow playthrough I spent ages trying to catch Zapdos and it kept sweeping my Team until 7 yo me chucked the masterball at it.

[@calicow]

I somehow only just found your channel recently, but just wanted to say your videos have brought me immeasurable joy. You have an awesome attitude and a very entertaining style.

So cool to see a truly challenging version of Kalos, and congratulations on getting through a romhack of this difficulty in just one attempt. Way to go, man.

Flygon, I’m a social work who travels for his job. Your videos always make my job brighter!

[@nicklyskawa3504]

Rom hacks are my personal favorite nuzlocke challenges! I love the variety in Pokémon alongside the increased difficulty while still maintaining the atmosphere of the original games. Another amazing video flygon! Your production quality only improves with each new effort!

[@praalgraf]

dr. hg, your content lately has been absolutely banger. script, editing, jokes are all flowing really well

I LOVED the puppets this time around... especially the Stealth Rocks. This was a totally awesome run. I watched some of the VODs, but missed most of them, so I got to experience this epic tale mostly fresh. Thanks for yet another great video!

Ive watched every vod and still have been excited for this vid! Praise the doc!

[@tredorre6590]

So excited for this!! I love Gen 6 with all my heart but watching regular nuzlockes in Gen 6 generally doesn't involve a lot of suspense because they're too easy. So this is gonna be such a fun time!!

Hell yeah, I've been looking forward to this. Also excited for the Alolan snaplocke.

[@goldenalpaca3881]

I don't know, i find it more silly than cool when hackers put legendaries on regular gym leaders teams like it doesn't bother me if the elite four and champion have them, I guess I like to believe other people in this world could actually fight these trainers.

[@TheSandFoxx]

love your content as always. you can tell how much work you put into the quality of your videos.

[@sorrel_leaf_vespers]

Easily one of the greatest FlygonHG videos, the puppet show was amazing. Keep up the great work!

[@skotiaH2O]

Great video! It's cool seeing Nuzlockes that deviate from the usual battles of the main games. Have you considered playing fangames as well? There are a few i'd strongly recommend, but Pokémon Xenoverse in particular has challenges that are difficult enough to be stimulating but not frustrating and a great selection of mostly well balanced Pokémon. There's also the postgame which is intended for the more skilled players and features a couple of battles that would put this RomHack to shame in terms of difficulty. It would be cool to see you try :)

I don't get why more people don't watch the livestreams of these challenges. FlygonHG makes really good content, and he deserves to have significantly more viewers when streaming challenges.

[@aero9710]

streams are more boring in general imo. just a whole lot more fluff and downtime
