The commitment to saying “P exclamation mark nk” every time is unparalleled

[@tomii8352]

But isn’t it called an exclamation point?

[@thefluffyyeti677]

[@tomii8352]

@TheFluffyYeti Oddly this is the first time I’ve heard it called a mark instead of a point, but that’s probably just a regional dialect situation.

I'm from the UK and I've only ever heard "exclamation mark", didn't know some people said "point"

I can’t describe the happiness I had when I remembered that this is an X&Y video, and that you’re using a Rotom Heat, so we get to see you lugging around your microwave in the final battle again 😁

This is the most underrated Pokémon KZbinr ever. His sense of humor is top-notch, his strategic prowess is galaxy-sized, and his creativity is unparalleled. He used a literal microwave in a puppet show! 🤣 I absolutely love the content, Flygon! If more people saw your videos, you would likely be a king on the internet!

[@upforellie]

I appreciate that he never talks down to us. Like he explains everything in such an approachable way. Also he’s actually funny unlike some other poketubers where they’re distractingly unfunny

[@memes77387]

Ikr I started watching his vids recently and I'm addicted to them

[@yokaipinata1416]

Not the first time the oven appears for the puppet show, either. It also appeared in the Electric -type playthrough. ❤

[@bricker7244]

I literally thought at the beginning, “who is going to die at Serena 3 this time?” Another fun video! Thanks Flygon :)

[@sprogmcjob]

between that fight and the end puppet show x/y has the most traditions ive seen in a nuzloke lol

[@LovJinxx]

The puppet show final battle was epic as always, so glad this is a continued bit that started on accident

[@kieranbennett7453]

Fun fact, being the first game to introduce mega evolutions, XY very graciously give the player a whole 6 options to try out during the main story. Before Diantha, the only mega stones you can obtain are the Kanto starter you pick, Aerodactyl, Lucario, Ampharos, Gengar and Abomasnow. So not only do you barely fight any, you dont get many either

[@theflaminglitten-fo6jd]

no wonder people want it back, we barely got it the first time!

[@thereverand15]

Encounter Name Theme... Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire Alicia Keys - This Girl is on Fire Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire Katy Perry - Firework Ed Sheeran - I See Fire P!nk - Just Like Fire Sia - Fire Meet Gasoline Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire Adele - Set Fire to the Rain That was fun!

[@winterling223]

Thank you for pointing it out! I would never have figured the theme out on my own TvT

[@emilysmith2965]

It’s funny that the fire starter SWEARS he didn’t start the fire when he clearly did 😂

[@Keydicken]

Not to be the “um actually” person but the title of the Alicia Keys song is just Girl On Fire ✌️

[@emilyjane7027]

I can't believe he didn't name a mon The Prodigy (Firestarter)

[@H3XM4N1AC]

Man, metallica should learn type charts, fighting fire with fire would mean nothing very effective

[@r0cketb0yz_xd80]

The Pokémon names and quick jokes are so good, I love the way he makes a game that is so tedious on top of a mono type nuzlocke so entertaining.

[@Muniaczek90]

I love his sense of humor. When Alicia Keys activated flame body i laughted and sang this guurl is on fiiiiireeee while still cackling 😂😂😂😂 and names also very fitting for pokemons too. And i wheezed everytime he said P!nk's name 😂

[@tomahawkgaming5226]

[@brandonc422]

That whole Druddigon Dragon Tail fiasco was hilarious. Imagine the pain of that with Stealth Rock for the Fire team, you'd have lost half your team lol

[@Pikarose150]

Now I know why it has been so long since the last X/Y video, all the budget went into the puppet show and it was well worth it. Another award winning performance by everyone involved.

[@ROLYPOLYSNONANAKOROBIYAOKI]

Flygon, you genuinely got me through insane depression. I was in the worst mental state in my entire life, and then I found your videos. You made my day with just your content, and I became a subscriber. I wish I found you sooner. You're the literal cure for depression.

[@MadameTeqi]

I know how rough depression can be. Even as a random person on the internet I'm rooting for you, fam

[@charlesthomson4569]

I watched the crits only run earlier today, and even compared to that relatively recent video, the editing, the script, everything is so much cleaner. Love the content Dr. Flygon

[@RiverwalkerWolf]

Going from watching your reactions to watching your current stuff really shows how much you have grown and learned. I can't wait to see what new heights you can get to

[@arkelion95]

Y'know, I mostly use your videos as a podcast, I've improved a lot my listening skills thanks to you, but oh man, every time I watch an X or Y hardcore nuzlocke, what I'm most exciting of, is your battle against the champion using that kind of footage, is awesome, I stop everything in my day just to watch it, I really appreciate it, it's an amazing touch, your personal touch, no matter how many times I've watched that video, I'm excited every time, you're amazing, I love your videos, greetings from Mexico, and give Poppy a hug from me ❤

[@Aviplotbunny]

Thanks for another amazing video and run! I feel your jokes were particularly on point this week; keep it up. I didn't get the chance to comment on the react video to your Sinnoh Fire type Nuzlocke, but I did appreciate the insight into how you've changed working on videos over time. As someone who does work in a different creative sphere, it's fascinating to me to see what other types of creators think about as they work. Plus it just makes me appreciate your current videos even more. You've brought me Saturday joy as always. See you next time!

[@COMICSAREAWESOME]

While I love the new direction with several of your videos, there's something oddly...comforting about a good ol' fashioned Monotype nuzlocke.

[@Wilbear]

I've been binging your videos all week and the insane ramp up in quality and all the obvious work you put in them is crazy my dude. The jokes, music, sound effects, editing and most importantly your scripting are all top notch. All the work you put in these videos is for sure appreciated. Can't wait for more! Super swag :D

[@justinlee9439]

Just want to say i absolutely love your content keep up the great work. Best editing and most importantly scripts by far for nuzlocke contents in my opinion. Always a blast to see your creative names and scripts, always manages to get a good laugh out of me.

[@huskerjon6800]

You revived the pokemon franchise for me with your videos over the last few years, and recently now I'm starting to watch more of the creators you play with, and have even been discovering other fun ways to play the games thanks to your monotype and various challenges. P.s. any plans on doing a fighting type only nuzlocke? WWE superstars I think would be a really fun nickname theme

[@dutchjoyce6106]

flygon youre my fav poketuber bc you always go in depth on the details of the battles and your mons, and still end up with shorter videos than some others, and it makes me wish every poketuber would take time to explain their decisions like you do. also because youre funny and a good nuzlocker. also i love your naming themes in every nuzlocke

[@Soncikuro]

Omg, an actual real microwave instead of the paper cutout of Rotom was freaking hilarious.

It's so interesting to watch these new videos after seeing your reactions to old videos because I can see how you're implementing those changes. Like when the goofy music plays in Wulfric's gym, I immediately think about what you said about using music to signal to the audience how to feel.

[@orchididol]

amazing video as always!! love seeing new content:) it gets better every time! lol and the DIS callback was awesome

The entire, extended himbosaurus rex bit was godtier. Your crispy fresh humour and super listenable narration is absolutely indispensable for an otherwise fairly repetitive-by-nature format, it is always a delight :)

[@dwnosserd6644]

[@EquivalentInsanity]

I forgot initially that the puppet shows are only for Diantha, not the entire E4, and had a moment of being so disappointed it wasn't happening this time before realizing it was all good. I remember in your first X video where you were so nervous/apologetic about the puppet show replacing the lost footage and I'm SO DELIGHTED it's become a regular thing. You're a gem of a creator, thank you for all of your work!

[@Frenchaboo]

I remember doing a mono-fire run of XY waaay back in the day, though of course it wasn't a nuzlocke bc I was a kid and just wanted to have fun. Though in the end, I don't think I've even blacked out once. Glad to see you return to Kalos, DELPHOX SUPREMACY
