How'd you guys like that cameo bit ;) What run should I do next?

[@TheBlaziking666]

Given new game releases and the time of year BDSP with either flying or ice types would be fun

[@luiseduardo8806]

My sir. I hope thou understand my request. I really would like to see an mono grass challenge in Pokémon heartgold or soulsilver, since we all know you guys hate meganium and johto also hates grass types. If you could do that for me and the other meganium fans, I would appreciate and thank you a million.

The idea for Flapple and Appletun is actually pretty cool. Since apples have worms in them, and a wrym is a type of dragon, it kind of makes sense that an apple is a dragon type.

[@talon532]

Huh! Noted!

[@darkworld3380]

Here's an idea for a Sword and Shield hardcore nuzlocke. You can only use Pokemon that can Gigantamax, and you are allowed to dynamax but only if it is into the Gigantamax form. Isle of Armor makes this possible and gives you diversity to a degree

Honestly the end game just shows how powerful dynamaxing is. The fact that a single Charizard could've nearly swept the team of dragon types without even using a dragon type move is just too much lmao

[@kaizeliew]

Not only that that was TWO PSEUDO LEGENDS

[@crimsoncutz8430]

Not surprising the dragons don't do as well as you'd expect, feels like 90% of the dragons in existence don't evolve out of shitmon status until 40+. I know it's not quite that bad but in practice when you're suffering through some of those first stage dragons it sure feels that way

[@amaanverma8248]

Pokemon Black 2 Nuzlocke: Part 50: The end of Sunny's Unova journey. Kirby (Samurott): Are we ready? Jitterbug (Leavanny): We're ready! (sad that Lomax isn't here for the final battle) Amphy (Ampharos): I'm scared for our final battle! Klonoa (Lopunny): I've got your back, Amphy! Rainforest (Sigilyph): I'm going to be excited for our final battle! Matti (Flygon): Let's do this! Rockman Zero: Jitterbug used X-Scissor + Bug Gem to knock out the Hydreigon, Kirby took a bit of damage, but Kirby knocked out Druddigon. I switched into Amphy when Iris used Lapras. Amphy used Thunderbolt, and Lapras used Ice Beam, which Amphy takes a hit very well. Amphy used Thunder which knocked out the Lapras. She sent out Aggron next and I used Kirby. Kirby used Surf, and it knocked it out. I keep Kirby in for her Haxorus, which could have been good, but it had a Focus Sash, so I had to waste a turn using Blizzard, and Waterfall. Last Pokemon. Archeops. I switch out to Amphy and Archeops used Rock Slide, but it didn't flinch Amphy, so Amphy defeated the Archeops easily. We did it. We lost 4 Pokemon at the beginning, to mid-game, to end-game, but we prevailed. What an astoundingly long journey it has been. I took a lot of breaks in a nuzlocke challenge, but still, it was a lot of fun using Pokemon that I've never used before. This is the end of my Pokemon Black 2 nuzlocke.

Hell yeah, I love your videos on Sword/ Shield. I’m normally more of a casual gamer when it comes to Pokémon, but I love the strategic aspect of it as well. Your videos taught me a lot!

[@blommen]

Depending on what rules you have in terms of whiping, the max raids in Crown tundra Can give you an early Tyrunt and after surf i bilieve you Can get a Bagon as well. The only issue is that you kinda have to take a whipe to peony before you Can access it. Alternatively, I’d imagine there’s a way to strategize around his team later in the game but I’m a dumb dumb and not smart enough to come up with that lol

[@mattheweasby5746]

The champion's ace brought you down to your last pokémon and then kommo-o (who has essentially been your starter & ace throughout the run) clutches it out despite being weak to the opponent. It doesn't get more anime clutch moment than that.

I had an interesting idea, Nuzlocke but every time a Pokemon dies you can't use the type that they're apart of, and if they're dual type you have to spin a wheel to decide on whic type you can't use anymore, so say for you loose Applin and you spin and it touches grass, and you had picked grookey, you can't use it anymore as well as any other grass types, so when you encounter any other of that type as a first encounter you can try again to at least make it fair or else finding pokemon would be a nightmare
