What romhack should I try next??

[@bowensteele7586]

Not a Rom Hack, but I’d love to see you do an Infinite Fusion run. It’s a fun game, tons of possibilities for teams, and a fresh challenge with the possible typings.

[@LoraoBruceWayne]

What about a GenLocke Dr Fly, it would be good for the stream too

[@OtakuFear]

Elite Redux

[@jeromelabrosse1669]

Radical Red

[@MrFuzzygasm]

Pokemon crystal legacy.. such a well made crystal hack!!

[@Altamyr]

I love how even in Storm Silver, Falkner's Pidgeotto is still illegal.

[@yannismpa3701]

He just got it from Pokemon Red !!111!!

[@fanofluxray]

​@@yannismpa3701I thought that wild Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest was Yellow only

[@lazypaladin]

Johto Gym Leaders use the Juice. _The only explanation that makes sense._

[@SoraQuill]

I like to think gym leaders are such good trainers they can teach their pokemon special moves, or moves they should learn later early. Probably my favourite lore based explanation~ or can even evolve them early!

[@Victini0510]

He just used the Mahogany Town radio, like Lance

[@PedroHenrique-mk5zi]

Babe, wake up, another Drayano hack nuzlocke got uploaded.

[@antares8943]

Drayano is great

[@grahamroy910]

Actually just woke up from a nap

[@jamfronk6387]

So real tho 😂

[@CocktailBoomin]

Love these ones

[@vava85]

Aren't these getting remade by the Dray?

[@Ross516]

I will say, the Staryu called Mayonnaise did get a good laugh out of me

[@skylar9046]

Hey, it's an instrument, right?

[@luceharrietf]

TWO ROM HACK NUZLOCKE VIDEOS *AND* A CRAZILY IN-DEPTH STORY-BASED VIDEO IN 3 WEEKS?! Are you KIDDING FlygonHG?? This is honestly like Christmas has come early. Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU so much for this. I can't even imagine the amount of effort & work that it must have taken for you to get three such advanced, incredibly interesting & narratively creative Nuzlocke run videos up in only 3 weeks. Your hard work & dedication have not gone unnoticed, and I'm so grateful to have new content come up from you regularly, so I'm not just rewatching & rewatching your Inclement Emerald, Emerald Rogue, Renegade Platinum, Eternal X & Blaze Black playthroughs. Because let's be real, I've watched them all at least 4 or 5 times by this point... In the new year, I'd love to see more Rom Hack playthroughs or other creative/narrative-based playthroughs like randomisers, shitty/loser BST Pokemon only, no healing, evil team grunt themed, gift only, KZbinr designed gyms, escape room or even some more of your educational/informative videos on nuzlockes like the ones you've made about things like pivoting, linoone sweeping or tips & tricks. Thanks Flygon for such quality content, that always brightens my day, gives me a laugh & provides stellar entertainment. Please never stop being so unique in your play & editing styles 💓

[@a_delightful_nerd]

This comment is everything ^

[@FlygonHG]

Thank you!!! 🙂

[@luceharrietf]

@@a_delightful_nerd can't help but spit facts when FlygonHG makes such quality content so regularly!!

[@luceharrietf]

@@FlygonHG You are so welcome! I cannot wait to see the content that 2024 brings to the Flygon-verse. Grateful for all you do, and thanks for creating videos that provide me with so much comfort. If I'm ever stuck on what to watch and stuck I'm a space of being anxious (pretty standard) or feeling a bit lost, turning on your stuff really helps get me back on track again. Thank you from halfway across the globe, in a weird small & slightly bogan country of New Zealand 😅

[@luceharrietf]

ALSO RE your next ROM Hack playthrough, I was wanting to please request maybe a Gen 6 or 7 ROM HACK of a Sun/Moon or ORAS Rom Hack? Apparently Rising Ruby or Prismatic Moon/Phototonic Sun are good options. I just LOVE to idea of a ROM hack for the later gens like Gen 6 or Gen 7 (IK you've done Eternal X)! @@FlygonHG

[@bladeslicer98]

Would love to see an all Ice type nuzlocke of Renegade platinum, a lot of the ice types got some amazing buffs! Only problem is you get most of them right before the second gym and it would be hard as hell.

[@Indomm]

He could call his Uncle Jimtendo to start off with an ice type perhaps? Which ice type would be a balanced starter?

[@fancypantsmanface2445]

Spheal. Three stage evolution ending in a 530 base. Pretty much just a starter bar the high level evos

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

@@fancypantsmanface2445i’ll take any excuse to have spheal on my screen

[@smartfeller8282]

@@IndommYou can get Glaceon and Smoochum really early on. The initial rival battle would be basically impossible with only Smoochum though.

[@AR-qc2rw]

⁠​⁠Glaceon alone sweeps Roark easily except for Nosepass, unless it has a -special attack nature. Teach it water pulse, give it a mystic water, and edge it to just before level 17. It depends on what rules you’re playing with, if you give yourself berries then just give glaceon a cheri berry and she solos the gym. Otherwise, assuming you let yourself have the Spheal from the trade in Oreburgh, it’s as easy as leading spheal, encoring into nosepass stealth rock, and switching to glaceon for the sweep. It outspeeds everything in the gym, and one shots everything but nosepass and bonsly. In my experience glaceon tends to be able to survive stealth rock into brick break crit from Bonsly, though depending on nature a crit might kill you. Glaceon sweeps a lot of Gardenia as well, since it gets auroroa beam at 25. There’s a nevermelt ice in mt coronet, as well as one from the spheal trade earlier. By this point, you can have Glaceon, Smoochum, Sealeo, Cloyster (there’s a water stone just before Eterna city), and I’m pretty sure you can repel-manipulate into a Sneasel, or just take a random ice type from route 216. I can see Froslass being useful against the next 2 gyms. After Gardenia, you get Rotom Freeze for a 6th member. I won’t pretend like it was easy, but I remember the early game being fun to figure out.

[@SplishySploshy]

Have thousands of us already seen this via the highlights channel? Yes. Are we gonna watch 43 minutes of the same content? Also yes.

[@Spilner15]

Mayonnaise easily the best nickname! Nice run, Flygon - great video! “People talk louden they want to sound smart, riiight?” “CORRECT!!”

[@NegaSyrus5000]

"Every battle must be meticulously planned" 30 seconds into gameplay "I wonder if quick attack kills...let's try it"

[@gylfie24linole]

Naming a Gastly “Organ” when it doesn’t have any is peak humor

[@ulrichbrodowsky5016]

Focus miss is such a fitting name. One might think that they name it something like "strike" or "blast" but they chose wisely

[@PichusPIushies]

Time stamp?

[@gwammeh]

The segue from "Chikorita won" "I'm not getting *Chikorita*--" to the Chikorita starter was comedy gold

[@NegaNekojin]

"He can walk... over your whole team" 🎶 Whenever I see a Furret pulling off his weight on a run (regardless if it's a Nuzlocke or not) there will always be a huge smile plastered on my face, I can't help it... I just adore that not-so-little fellow ^^ And Didgeridoo just've didgeriDONE great. Congratulations on the nearly flawless first attempt clear, no easy task to pull off in a Drayano rom by any means.

[@fanofluxray]

"A warrior with a heart of gold" I thought this was Storm Silver

[@dracenathe6th383]

It's always so fun to see the differences between the highlights and the fully edited video They both h have their benefits

[@figrindan8235]

“Air Guitar” the Mime Jr. is *chef’s kiss*

[@IrfanFakhrianto]

since the dlc just came out and it provides proper endgame, would love to see scarlet violet nuzlockes go through the dlcs tbh, kinda like how you go all the way to red

[@The_Meev]

Most S/V nuzlockes don't even go past Geeta, I don't think adding in the DLC is gonna happen anytime soon.

[@VitaEmerald324]

@@The_Meevthose are cowards

[@byzantine5761]

The newest DLC would genuinely be an amazing addition. You reach to the level 80’s and it’s super challenging and very hard to not have several mons faint in the big fights if you’re a filthy casual like me. I’d love to see a nuzlocke going that far

[@mreevee7785]

Most people in the community dont really like nuzlocking those games.😊

[@mortamarkahn]

And DidgeriDON'T FORGET THE SPONSOR OF TODAY'S VIDEO, SQUARESPACE.

[@daxdleader719]

It's not controversial to say steel and water are some of the best types in the game but i think the 6 mons he chose for the e4 are good evidence at how they're kinda unbalanced

[@RedNeckActual]

"Mayonnaise the Staryu" XD I love Spongebob references

[@theearlofwellington]

After figuring out the nickname theme I decided to guess what you'd call your encounters. Well, I got to Drifloon and was SURE of the name that you did in fact choose. Of course you still managed to surprise me and make me burst out laughing with that classic pronunciation. Moments like that are what keep me coming back, what make your channel feel like home. You're hands down the best at what you do, and having seen the joke carry on from that first Magnemite has been such a pleasure. Just wanted to say thanks for everything you do, "Dr. One Ball HG" ;)

[@Keydicken]

Easily the best thing about Saturdays! I usually just rewatch a bunch of these while I’m at work, so I’m constantly entertained ‼️‼️💪

[@iistonton]

3 water, 3 steel, and 3 flying types in the elite 4! Impressive run can't wait to see what dray puts out next

[@lanceams483]

Loved watching this run on the highlights channel, one of my favorite playthroughs you've done.

[@androidedoidao]

i've been following this run on the other channel, so is so fun to finally see the whole thing fully eddited and realized. Another hit mr Flaygon eicht jee!

[@JAEVideogroup]

Dude the edit at 41:10 is so sick. This playthrough was so fun I smiled the whole way through. Keep up the great work! Didgeridoo 4 lyfe

[@MotherLutalica]

I love how snappy ur editing is now, there’s no dull moments in ur videos!

[@joaonatalio3124]

I think I was already subscribed for the past 2 years, just recently started watching a lot of the nuzlockes… they are amazing keep it up!

[@scottjennings2942]

Your content has been even more amazing recently, I always look forward to when your videos drop, but please don’t be afraid to take breaks! We don’t want you burning out. Rest up over the holidays ❤

[@backpackerraden6268]

Glad you got to play this one before the new update comes out. It's such a fun ROM Hack and imo is the definitive Johto experience

[@potatovine]

Farfetch'd got Farfuck'd will now live in my head rent free

[@badending7985]

Been watching ALL the VODS waiting for this one to come out- you were Lightning fast on this one boss

[@bowensteele7586]

Love sitting down with the wife and watching new Flygon vids on Saturdays. Thanks Dr. OneballHG, looking forward to watching many more!

[@juliawidobravely]

I thoroughly enjoy the sound design of your videos, by the way; I don't know if I've ever mentioned. Kudos to the editor! 💜

[@Nuclearstomp]

I always love seeing you do Drayano rom hacks. Looking forward to more in the future. Anyway, I think a fun challenge to do would be an ORAS nuzlocke but you can only use Pokemon that you can encounter on mirage spots. (Probably by having eggs in your PC and swapping out whatever you catch with them.) I think doing only one type of mirage spot would be more challenging and I would recommend doing Mirage Islands since Mirage Island was in the OG Gen 3 games. In the challenge idea section of the discord I put a text file that is hopefully accurate to what mons appear on every type of mirage spot.

[@PerfectFlyer4]

Mayonnaise is the best instrument. Loving the new layout, really liking the team along the left side. Great work as always!

[@red_dll]

I like to watch your runs from time to time and enjoy them a lot. What I like the most is how good your scripting for the voice over is. The jokes and puns are a joy to hear. Also the names for the pokemon are fantastic, always following some kind of theme. Mayonnaise was hilarious once I understood the reference.

[@pizzaforbred7038]

YES, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR WEEKS!

[@andreweads9240]

Awesome video Flygon! Keep up the awesome work 💛

[@dracano6142]

Watching this while in the hospital after surgery, thank you so much for the distraction! I love your content and can’t wait for more in the upcoming year

[@harmonicmelody1710]

So mayonnaise IS an instrument. Now the question is... is horseradish an instrument as well?

[@papertiger4525]

Even if I saw that Light Clay twist from a mile and a half away, that delivery was just… downright flawless 😭 Great stuff as always, Dr. One-Ball!

[@Siinory]

I watched every highlights of this run, it was so chill to do

Anotha flygon special,you ,Silph spectre, antler boy and whacko.Yall nuzlockes are amazing and I’ve watched a lot of yours man ,keep it up 👌🏾👌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@andersonantunesdeleu8591]

From gen 4 on there are really nice items for the Pokemon to hold, I do wish there was some of them in gen 3 such as choice specs... That would sure be nice. The diversity of Pokemon in this hack Rom is really impressive! Actually, I think it's ideal, from gen 5 beyond I really think there starts to be too many kinds of Pokemon. Not that it's not nice, but anyway, I think maybe every gen brings on something new and nice! The special and physical split for me is the best improvement! It sure was a nice challenge FlygonHG, very fun watching! Thank you!

[@scmeeerr1253]

Even on a casual run, that Scyther was just out for blood early game.

[@pixxyofice]

oh! the furret thumbnail! let's GOOOO! i stopped watching the highlights because i got a bit busy with other things, but i'm looking forward to watching this!
