On Larry's defense, his dialogue says that World's Worst Champion forces him to change type for his Elite Four battle and he would rather stick to Normal Types.

[@professortamarack683]

His commitment to his career is truly commendable!

[@frankwest5388]

Man I hate everything about that new champion. Super forgettable look, over designed, stupid hair, awfully weak and uninspired pokemon choices and the one mon that would be worthy of not just being part of a champions team but maybe even the ace, is not even the ace

[@raygaming4306]

@@alexread6767 I understand what your counter to that persons argument. But I have to agree with Frank West here. The champion in Scarlet and Violet barley has any significance within the region and the plot of the game. When she does show up in the story she just shows up says a few words and does nothing. Hell I can't even remember her name without looking it up on google. Not to mention she is lacking in any personality like the previous champions had that made us remember them. All the game tells us that she is just a champion that's it. At least Diantha had something to her even though her being an actress contributed nothing to Pokémon x and y. She had a nice design and a calm, collected and graceful personality. and going back to that Karen quote. We actually don't even know how deep her connection is with her Pokémon so we can't say for sure that their her favorite Pokémon. There Pokémon that's just there for a champion to have. and its a poorly made team. Her Ace and Kingambet are her only two memorable Pokémon .

[@WahooYahoo]

⁠​⁠​⁠ I wouldn’t necessarily say over designed but I do understand where you’re coming from. It’s a very unusual design and the eyes are off putting, gives off the vibes of that fairy gym leader in X and Y. I do agree with the Pokémon choices being uninspired as we get no reason as to why she really chose them ( or really how they would fit with her personality or aesthetic )

This is kinda a small thing, but I appreciate the effort you make to address each pokemon accurately to its gender. You're awesome!

[@Marzi29]

Honestly that's one of my favourite things about FlygonHG! So many pokemon youtubers only ever use 'he'. It's a small thing, but addressing them appropriately makes them feel so much more real, rather than just tools being used. Pokemon is supposed to be about friendship and the bond between you and your pokemon, so the audience bonding more with the pokemon being used in a challenge makes us more invested, I think. Although it's now made it harder for me to watch other pokemon youtubers bc I'm always thinking 'uh that pokemon is female' lmao

[@Religion0]

Correct name and gender, including non-binary their. I appreciate it, too.

[@chadmcjustice6550]

@@Religion0 non-binary isn’t real. In this game you have genderless pokemon like beldum, which are machines.

Fun fact. You can actually catch a Parrot already at the start of the game. There are 2 static encounters on top of your house that can be fought and captured right after Nemona gives you the pokeball tutorial.

[@roidadadou5456]

Man, SV is becoming my prefered game to HC Nuzlocke, after X/Y with level adjustement. They offer so much diversity in Pokémon, both old and new, and a lot of bosses and challenges to think about, it really is a fun version to play through.

[@Luembarde]

Interesting how much people can differ, SV are actually my least fav to watch (apart from bd/sp)

[@interestedviewer2097]

If you can get through the devastating 45-minute intro to the game, it's good fun to play

I actually started my own normal type play through just last week, beat Larry while watching this one, using hisui mons too

[@thereverand15]

Is there a way to play it sped up like with roms? That's the only way I can get through the painful slow pace of pokemon games.

[@LittleCrowYT]

Sv has unironically become probably my second favourite mainline Pokémon game, right behind gen 5's BW/2. If we get a BW/2 remake thats even partially open world like PLA or SV, gen 9 will officially be my favourite

[@13JackStorm]

How about a Trivialocke? At each milestone you have to answer a trivia question. You get it right, you're fine, get it wrong and you have to release an encounter.

[@thequagiestsire]

It’s honestly nice to see a more sloppy nuzlocke every once in a while. It shows that even one of the best Nuzlockers can still make absolutely stupid mistakes, and that even those mistakes can be recovered from with the right plays. I feel like something I and many other Nuzlocke beginners struggle with is not quitting because a valuable encounter died because we assume it’ll be impossible without them and just reset, while simultaneously beating ourselves up about it because we feel we’re “not good enough”. So thank you for underestimating The Dirge™️. It taught us and yourself a valuable lesson.

[@Altair1243WAR]

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think that's just toxic mentality. How is anyone "not good enough" if you never even tried to complete the run and simply gave up? A personal example, I used to be trash when I first started playing Pathfinder on PC because I knew nothing about the system, now I can beat WOTR on at least Core because I stuck with my runs, gradually discovering issues as I played (Yeah it took like 80+ hours, but still)

[@DrPotatoSkins]

Always glad to see FlygonHG pop up on the main page, this run is gonna be real dang fun I can already tell. If you're curious to try a new Nuzlocke idea, I have one: Why not try to beat a game using the Ace Pokemon of every Gym Leader? For example, in Platinum you could use Cranidos/Rampardos, Roserade, Mismagius, Lucario, Floatzel, Bastiodon, Froslass, and Electivire. It may be simple or hard depending on which region you go through, but I bet you could build a fun story around it. Maybe you're an up-and-coming Gym Trainer whose trying to make their own Gym, and unsure of which type to use.

[@BlueDragonGalaxy]

"I don't know what Dunsparce is based on and, be honest, neither do you!" Joke's on you, I love snakes _and_ mythical/folkloric creatures! Dunsparce is a tsuchinoko, an absurdly rotund snake of Japanese folklore.🐍 Dunsparce learning Rollout is a reference to how the tsuchinoko is said to be able to roll away from danger by biting onto its tail like a thicc ouroboros and rolling away! Dunsparce's and Dudunsparce's tiny wings are also likely a reference to the tsuchinoko's ability to double jump. Tsuchinoko also apparently like alcohol and if you find one that talks they are noted to be chronic liars.

[@Judelocke888]

There’s a lot of monolocke/challenge run possibilities in S/V. Nice to see someone exploring it and adding some additional difficulty as well. Fantastic video as always!

[@PhantomWolfDX]

Not really a monotype, but how about an hisuin nuzlocke through Scarlet/Violet. When you encounter the native variants of the Hisuin Pokemon trade it with a Hisuin Pokemon in home. Ergo: your Ursaring for a Ursaluna or your Stantler for a Weirdeer et cetera.

The script and bits that Flygon has in his more recent videos are INCREDIBLE! The bit with the teacher and the stabs at Larry during the E4 over his betrayal are well-crafted and gave awesome buildup. Flygon has gotten awesome at videomaking and comedy and it is awesome to see how far he's made it from his original emerald grass only run where he was so monotone and had very minimal "story" elements. Massive props!

[@Shin3y]

To me, intimidate cycling feels down the same vein as set up moves. Personally I wouldn’t have used it with this rule set, but it wasn’t explicitly said that there is no set up at all in battle, so there is no problem with it. Keep up the great work, the comedy and jokes were good, and the timing was funny.

Fun Fact: You can actually catch Squakabilly on your house in the beginning if you aim your pokeball just right to hit the Squakabilly on the roof of the house. I did it in my Fuecoco playthrough and got myself onto the roof to get the TM up there as well as the pokemon. Nice video though. I love normal types though and they are my favorite type. Normal types, in my opinion, have the most versatility in the moves that they can get. Great challenge video and I can't wait for the next one. Please keep up the great work.

Each of the Pokemon League trainers's type specialty coincides with the type of a Titan Pokémon (Klawf and Geeta, Bombirdier and Larry (😔), Orthworm and Poppy, Great Tusk/Iron Treads and Rika, and Tatsugiri and Hassel). yeah i'm gonna list all the types and their corresponding trainer, what did you expect? Normal: Larry (Gym Leader) Fire: Mela (Team Star Camp) Water: Kofu (Gym Leader) Grass: Brassius (Gym Leader) Electric: Iono (Gym Leader) Ice: Grusha (Gym Leader) Fighting: Eri (Team Star Camp) Poison: Atticus (Team Star Camp) Ground: Paradox Donphans (Titan Pokemon) Flying: Bombirdier (Titan Pokemon) Psychic: Tulip (Gym Leader) Bug: Katy (Gym Leader) Rock: Klawf (Titan Pokemon) Ghost: Ryme (Titan Pokemon) Dark: Giacamo (Team Star Camp) Dragon: Tatsugiri (Titan Pokemon) Steel: Orthworm (Titan Pokemon) Fairy: Ortega (Team Star Camp) what did that accomplish?

@jasper7714 If you skip all the dialogue, you’re going to miss things. Nemona is already a Champion, and throughout the game, is deliberately using low-level Pokémon and going easy on the player to train them into someone who can challenge her at full power because she’s bored with winning all the time. She isn’t fighting at full strength until the end of the Victory Road storyline, by which point you’ve become a Champion yourself and are on equal footing with her.

Nemona's B-team really is something, isn't it. She's already a Champion-ranked trainer when you both receive a starter, and she trains up a new team as your journey progresses, as evidenced by the encounters along the way... So where's her champion team?

Noko can also evolve into Bloominoko at level 25, and has an alternate SUPER DUPER ULTRA EXTREMELY IM NOT JOKING ITS ACTUALLY HELL TO FIND form in all of the three mainline 3DS games called Pandanoko which can only be found exclusively through the StreetPass feature.

The grass runs are my favourite they are super tough and require cool strategies i would love to see you do one in Scarlett and violet

fantastic video as always, I had a fun suggestion for your next mono normal name theme run! maybe you could name them whatever "Pokemon" they are, like Meowth would be Scratch Cat or Oinkologne would be Hog. Just a thought, might be fun :)

@FlygonHG When I did my scarlet Nuzlocke my encounters were the closest Terra-den each time I entered a new route. I allowed terastalizing since it was mostly defensive and to use it offensively I had to get pretty lucky. It was a really fun way to play bringing a good amount of RNG back to this overworld game. I'd love to see a video of this, could be a good mix-up from a mono type locke.

How about a dark-type run? Not only is one of the starters a legal option in the run, but I also think it could lead to be an interesting run!

i know you sometimes like challenges that arent just type based so heres my two ideas, not sure which games would give the best pools to pull from though allstars: only pokemon alive at the end of the final fight and on that team as encounters. back to life: only teammates who died in previous nuzlockes

That is crazy. Best as I can tell, the game must be set to go into a cutscene as soon as Nemona's last Pokémon goes down, but it didn't take into account that by finishing it off with a recoil move, the battle wasn't technically over as it had to play Staraptor's fainting animation as well. Now it's got me wondering: if you finish off Nemona's last Pokémon with a recoil move that faints your own Pokémon and you didn't have another Pokémon, would the game count it as a win? Normally, such a scenario would count as a win in PVP, but a loss in PVE. But it definitely seems like this might break that rule.
