Can’t wait to see wattson and his magnehmeeté
Aka magnehmity
Wallace should've had a Laprah
Sad that arcaneenay isn’t in he hoenn pokedex, but oh well
Flannary should have a Arcaninéeh
Watson and her electric fences man, so annoying. Her ult is also kind of meh.
**Catches a baltoy**
**calls it raven**
**faints instantly**
Me "I guess.... that's so raven"
lol
LOL
I love that show 😂😂😂
You said “brains over brawn” exactly once after fighting Brawly and 20+ years of slight confusion over why Psychic beats Fighting just became cleared up in my head. Should note I have 2 degrees.
Damn that’s pretty cold
@@WiselyCommaBaby im fucking cackling
Cant use your muscles if you cant remember u have muscles
A vivid example of how degrees do not make you smart, at all
@@didsomeoneaskforanegg2168 right, that’s the entire joke lmao. “I’m not smart I’m educated” thank you for Mansplaining for the class
The Stone lore continues to deepen!
Transcription of the letter, for those who don't feel like pausing the video:
Ahem
"My dearest Steven,
I am once again writing to you in regards to your half-human, half-Nosepass brother, Nosey. He is unwell. Though he has recovered from his time at the confusingly named Camp Rock, he now does not seem to be adapting well to our new three dimensional reality. It appears to be troubling him deeply. I must admit, I too am perplexed by the sudden shift to three dimensional existance. Why are our heads so much bigger than our bodies? My neck is sore all the time. But I still have a company to run. It keeps me busy and I try not to think about it too much.
Unfortunately, Nosey has no such distractions. He wakes up screaming in the middle of the night, his small stubby Nosepass arms flailing from his fully human torso. It's an upsetting sight, as a parent, but also as a person with eyes. He needs you, Steven. You are his center. When you are home, Nosey is happy. Please be the older brother he deserves. We miss you.
Love,
Daddy Stone."
The "as a person with eyes" bit absolutely killed me. I can't wait to see how this saga continues to unfold!
You know, I had read 1 or 2 of the letters, but with the time between Gen3 playthroughs I hadn't noticed that they were different every time. Now part of me wants to go back to read them all xD
Is this implying that Mr Stone slept with and procreated with a nosepass?
@@miscellaneoof I believe this is mentioned in one of the earlier letters, I dont know which video it was
I want more Hoenn videos from FlygonHG solely for the Steven Stone lore
People who were born blind: I have no such weakness
Foreshadowing each of the fallen Pokémon's fates in the moments where we first encounter them? Amazing touch. Almost like you have ESPN or something...
I didn't realized this the first time, but I went back to the moments after reading this comment. Brilliant work!
I didn't catch any of them, apart from Meditites, where I was like "Iron will? Oh god, is that a hint that a steel psychic type (aka the Metagross from Steven) will kill this?" I was wrong, but I was happy for catching it at all, haha.
@@melindamuller4466 solrock "in meteor falls, after mashing some zubats" for meteor smash
wobbofett "Certain to have a gigating impact" for giga impact
and baltoy "i go to the desert in pursuit of my next encounter" for pursuit
and this, disney, is what i call good writing
@@AzoiatheCobra Yeah, I got those now, but only after seeing the comment that in fact all deaths were hinted at.
ESPN?
No lie, I’m equally invested in Nosey’s adventures as these nuzlockes at this point
Hey guys. I realise that many of you will not know how the Nosey saga goes. Whilst I am not transcribing, I can give you the chronological order of each video to watch for the in depth lore.
Our story starts at 3:53 of the Flygon only video.
It resumes at 4:28 on the water only video.
The story continues at 5:27 of the crit only challenge.
Finally, 5:52 on this video brings us up to speed.
I believe that is all.
i love the little taylor lines in every video. just so you know, *I* get them and adore them!
Same! 50% of the reason I come back... Haha
Are we out of the woods? in the clear yet good.
Happy Flygon upload day! I’m sure this run will be entertaining to watch. But I can’t wait for y’all to see the upcoming Renegade Platinum nuzlocke. Very engaging to watch as someone who’s never done a rom hack. Intense battles, hilarious commentary, and moments that put you on the edge of your seat (as much as Pokémon game can do.)
Loved those streams - Moonblast!

I think that it would be cool to have a kill count for each member of the team (kills they made during like rival + gym battles primarily so the number isn’t so huge and annoying bc all of the random encounters) but that way at the end of the run we can see who the MVP of the team was lol
That would be dope
That feels slightly unfair due to the usage of pivots and setup moves.
Psychic is a pretty cool type, so this was a fun Nuzlocke to watch. The ad integration was as always on point, as was the speech in the middle near Lilycove.
PS: The letters to Steven are their own narrative now, I'm invested in the poor life of the wretched existence that is Nosey.
Thrilled to see your first ORAS run, and with one of my favorite types no less! I've always been a big fan of ORAS, I think they're underloved.
ORAS is still my favourite of the series, even if I have a very obvious nostalgia bias
me too, it's like my 3rd or 4th favorite
ORAS is the best remake, fite me.
@@TheStargov I completely agree, I've been saying that for ages. ORAS are criminally underrated
@@TheStargov Trueee
7:54 except in Sword and Shield, where being a lower level than the Pokémon you’re trying to capture drastically reduces it’s catch rate. It doesn’t matter by how much though.
And bdsp right? I've noticed in the grand underground I have a hard time catching pokemon unless I'm a higher level than them. Could just be my luck though lol
@@thes1lv3rwolf27 probably yes, they're both Gen 8 games after all
i think a neat idea for a run would be a birdlocke, which is different from a flying monotype run in that you can catch pokemon of any type as long as theyre based on a bird (so psyduck would be an eligible encounter, but not something like beautifly).
this would probably work best with gen 7 where you can start with rowlet but itd be neat on any of the later gens with a good variety of bird 'mons (^:
you could also do this with Sinnoh since penguins are birds too (if obviously flightless). also would give Chatot a chance to shine c:
that would be the coolest!
It could also work in sinnoh and hoenn and johto by techicality
2:33 impressive that he did not mention that he had to grind the ralts up with just growl which is a very painful thing
Well yes, but also no, he uses infinite rare candies
@@sapphiredraggytheflygon8521 ik this was supposed to be a joke that he does that but sometimes doesn't admit it lol
Seeing Xavier the male Gardevoir made me very nostalgic as my first Pokémon game was Sapphire and my best mon was easily my male Gardevoir. Also loved the Taylor reference.
I agree. Gardevoir is so beautiful, it's too difficult to resist using it as a boy. The Pokemon itself puts Gallade to shame. Don't get me wrong, Gallade is a cool Pokemon, but I can't resist the cuteness and elegance of Gardevoir. Gardevoir is the best drag queen I have ever seen. He's so cute.
@@GardevoirBoy1991 Agreed. Gardevoir is such a graceful and elegance mage pokemon.
Roxanne's AI likely saw that she outsped you and that Tackle had a higher hit chance than Rock Tomb (especially with Double Teams), so it likely prioritized that.
It is kind of a shame that the AI can be exploited so easily, because AI-controlled opponents can't learn from patterns like humans can. They're completely bound to their programming and will perform the same action over and over again, even if every previous outcome resulted in failure.
@Cirrus It boils down fundamentally to how machines process. They store data with perfect recollection (unless broken link or something) but they're extremely unadaptable and cannot identify something unless explicitly told to. The more complex something is, the more inefficient machines become, unless properly coded and even then, all it takes is one shift in the pattern and they become unable to function.
All the movies about machine uprisings would realistically end immediately with the machines losing because they're completely predictable and so easily exploited. Any successes they achieve would be a one time thing, because all humans would have to do is avoid replicating the circumstances.
An AI is only as complicated as the person who programs it decides it will be.
What a poor understanding of how AI actually works vs what you get here in these games, which is basic scripting
this is probably one of my favourite of your nuzlockes. the gameplay, the commentary, the sentimental value, and more make this a blast to rewatch even months later.
Moments of Wisdom with FlygonHG is iconic. Every time he pauses to discuss big topics and philosophical shit I love it.
I'm reasonably certain that the AI is hard-coded to only use moves like Rock Tomb and Bulldoze when your Pokemon is faster. (Speed-dropping offense moves, that is. Status moves don't seem to follow this rule.) As long as you're slower, the AI should never go for Rock Tomb or Bulldoze if it has another usable move, even if Rock Tomb or Bulldoze would deal more damage. It's something that started in BW2, I think. This means it applies to Roxanne in ORAS, Grant in XY, and Clay in BW2. I can't provide any sort of link to prove it, I only heard it mentioned in a GDQ speedrun one year, but in my own experience, it holds true. I fought Clay with a Lucario in a steel-type-only run, and sure enough, after one Bulldoze he never used it again, even though it would have been super effective. I'm prepared to be wrong, though. It may be worth testing for future runs of the post BW2 games.
Edit: I'm also fairly certain that this clause only applies to gym leaders and not other trainers. Again, tests may be necessary.
Honestly, an ORAS romhack with significantly higher difficulty would be freaking incredible. Pretty much my dream Pokemon game right there
Oh my god you have no idea how long I've been waiting for an ORAS run. I absolutely love this game, and I remember you almost calling it S tier, so this is super exciting moment in the FlygonHG cannon
Emerald was my first Pokémon game as a kid, and the Hoenn remakes were what got me back into the series as an adult. Yes they’re easy, but they’re fantastic games and I’d love to see a mono fire-type run of them at some point. Also loved the IASIP reference!
Which port is this remake?
@@nightkeiferSE 3ds
Can I ask what emulators can I use for 3ds's?
@@nightkeiferSE I believe Citra is the only 3ds emulator
Late reply but same here. Emerald was my first ever Pokemon game and I love ORAS just as much. So underrated.
your videos have improved so much over the last year! keep it up man :)
So you lost Baltoy, Solrock, Medicham, and Wobbuffet. All easy things came to an end when you fought Steven. Your Psychic Type Only Hardcore Nuzlocke for Pokemon Omega Ruby was a A. Very good playthrough overall. I'm happy your Gardevoir didn't faint. I'm also happy your Gardevoir is a male.
Im genuinely so invested in the letters to Steven and his poor brother Nosey
Why do I feel bad for a fictional half nosepass half human hybrid
5:03 Gotta love how the AI won't go for 100% Speed drop moves when they outspeed.
Not quite the same but still, Alpha Sapphire is probably my absolute favourite Mon title.
Thumbnail is a bonus as Gardevoir became my go-to over the course of that game.
Only Ever National Dex too.
So interesting that they allowed Wally's main to be switched to a mon that'd be introduced a gen later, but didn't bother giving the rest of his team Sinnoh evolutions. Why no Roserade? Why no Magnezone? Give the boy some better buffs 😩
I love the little references in there 😂 “Xavier channels his inner Roy Kent” oh u crack me up 🤣
I'm so excited for this video dude!!! Psychic types are my favorite so I've been eagerly awaiting this. I'm still just at the very beginning but also may I say ur ad transitions literally make me Laugh Out Loud TM and I so appreciate all of these videos
I think a psychic nuzlocke of X and Y would be really interesting. I tried doing it but kept wiping around the 5th gym 😅
also, you'd really have to prep for that mega gyarados!
@@profchaos91 that fight is probably not even too bad, if you can set up against the lead mienshao, outspeed the pyroar/take dark pulse, and have coverage for gyarados you’d be pretty set.
Something like Grass Knot/Calm Mind Delphox or Calm Mind/Moonblast Gardevoir sound like solid sweepers for this fight.
@@SparkBlazeWarriors that sounds like prepping to me
Edit im dumb sorry
@@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy but it'd be a psychic type nuzlocke...
FYI with the exception of legends arceus charge beam has a 70% chance to increase your special attack
21:50 your call to action was so perfect. Ive watched 20 of your nuzlockes, wasnt subbed, made me question my life, and when it started getting to real he says "time to catch some more pokeymans" to bring it back down to earth. 10/10
Excellent work as always! I love the content on this channel. A suggestion I thought of is a gen 2 grass-type nuzlocke. The gyms, team, and elite 4 in that gen are not very friendly to grass types, so I think it'd pose an interesting challenge
your speech at 21:31 moved be to tears :,) thank you for that masterpiece
I would love a snaplocke in this games, theyre my favorite games in the franchise and using bad pokemon in this game sounds pretty fun
Flygon I am probably one of your first subscribers..and I am really happy that I found you back then... your videos are deep and you put so much effort all the time...I always love when you do these little stop time and think about your life moments... and everything small that you say through out the playthrough seems like you have put a lot of thought in it ... you one of the best poketubers ... cause you really know how the game works and you go for hard challenges but also you are funny and your videos always hide a deeper meaning into them ...even in the small things ...keep up the good work bro ... some works from an old sub
On my first play through of ORAS while actually knowing what I was doing, I had a mega gardevoir. I don’t know if it will be mega or not here, but I still appreciate the ralts line, so thank you for using it!
When you said Raven my actual first thought was X-Men lol
Totally forgot how many Psychic types are in Gen 3! I was expecting you to do a Psychic lock of X/Y because Fennekin eventually gets the Psychic type...might use that idea for my own channel instead lol.
I'd expect him to look for reasons NOT to use Fennekin. 😅
@@miaurakimchi7349 XD after hearing him rage about Serena's Delphox that does make sense
I was going through nuzlocke challenge withdrawals so this is perfect timing
Your intros to sponsors are always a high point for me. Congratulations for the creativity, and for another amazing video!!! Love every one of them
I always look forward to which Taylor lyrics you’re going to put into these lol. Another great video! Keep up this amazing work :)
I've noticed a lot of hoenn runs as of late, so...
nosepass run when
on a serious(?) note, great video! I know this because I've only watched the first minute and 28 seconds. Your content is that consistent in quality!
He’s gotta do mono-rock eventually. My guess is XY cuz u can get nosepass AND carbink
8:35 lmao, no chance I’d ever guess that one of the psychics would come from Mean Girls™, absolute genius
Loved this one! These are my favorite remakes. Keep up the awesome work!
Love the videos and am a big fan of the monolocks. I know it is necessary to mix it up to break the monotony of them but I must say they are my favourite.
You know, the Gym Leader (and Elite 4/Champion) rematches have been a thing since Emerald, effectively meaning the first run of a game is just a 'story' run, with the later matches being them using a 'real' team as it were, instead of a weak test team. It'd be interesting to see these any of the nuzlocke runs go through those, since its been a thing for 18 years and a lot of people don't seem to even know they exist...
Hoenn was my favorite region until Alola, so more of the modern remakes sounds awesome. Aside from that, Pokemon Unbound is flat out the best Pokemon game I have ever played, and especially with the absolutely insane amount of changes the 2.0 update made it would be great to see more content of it in general.
Out of curiosity, what is your favorite Pokeball? Mine is premier, I make a point even in casual runs to catch the whole team in them. They just look so clean and professional, and the little sparklies on release are satisfying. Nest and Level balls are tied for a solid second place; they both give the nice feeling of raising the mon from low level/young/runt of the litter into champions. One of my favorite theme teams to run is movie monsters, either Kaiju or just in general, and having them all in nest balls like I've raised them from adorable cuddle lumps into beastly engines of destruction is simply satisfying.
Omega ruby is definitely a cool game to do this in, the start with ralts is probably going to be really rough though
I've watched this at least 4 times and you still manage to trick me with the "take a quiet moment, love people and also subscribe!". So great.
The segues into the sponsors always make me laugh and I loved this one a lot, it caught me off guard in a great way. Always love watching the runs and I'm super excited for another Hoenn one!
Let’s go I love you so much dr flygon thanks to you I beat my first nuzlocke thanks for all of this amazing content! Have a great day if you see this content take it easy everyone and remember always play around the critical hits ❤️
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 haha ok you really made me think I wrote let’s go when referring to the game lol
another incredible video :D your sponsorship segue was perfect and i love the ongoing bits of nosey and uncle jimtendo. almost as entertaining as the nuzlockes themselves. your videos are one of the reasons ive gotten so invested in pokemon recently. not gonna go into the details but my recent pokemon interest led to my friend asking me out and now i have a girlfriend
It always brightens my day when you upload! There's something about the way you play that's always entertaining!
loved it as always! also adored this naming theme.
Are you planning anymore snap-lockes in the future? The Unova one was really fun to watch!
I'd like to see how you handle the encounters for a Rock nuzlocke in Ultra Sun/ Moon. The boring Geodude starter is replaced by a choice of several options! I hope you can work it out to get all of them!
This is crazy, I recently done this in emerald! Took 27 tries mostly failed early game. I had to keep my starter in my team until ralts learned thief to damage dark types. But I decided to cut that and focus solely on double team stats for the entire early game. But after the 3rd gym it went a lot smoother for me. Ps I went emerald so I couldn't get meditite (after seeing your previous run were you basically solo with it), so thought emerald would be harder. God it was but felt amazing to finish. Early game was hell though, a LOT of RNG, mainly against grunts/ other dark types.
Love to see more Flygon content. Out of curiosity, would you be down to do some sort of Colosseum or XD challenge run in the future? I'm pretty sure those are the only collection of games you haven't tackled yet, besides Gen 1 and Gen 2. The Gamecube games are known for being relatively difficult (especially at the end), but I'm not sure what ruleset you would apply to make them more of a challenge. Honestly, leveling to match each Cipher Admin's ace would probably make the games easier. Maybe some sort of Mt. Battle challenge?
i love how you always respect even the gender of Pokémon, even when they don't have ome
this is a really small thing, but i really appreciate how you use they/them for the genderless pokemon like staryu! as a nonbinary person it makes me really happy
that's honestly super sad that you need that level of validation from internet pokemon videos of all things. you failed at life.
Always a good thing to watch on my Saturday mornings I look forward to more great challenges
I diid actually realise I wasn'tt subscribed after watching like more than half the playlist for the nuzlockes. You were pretty spot on.
Idea for your next challenge: You can do a nuzlocke where you only use move that uses the weaker attack stat for calculation. Like using Alakazam but only teach it physical move instead of special. The obvious ban list is the Pkm with equal attack stats (Flygon, Kingdra). This could be challenging and fun to do
I noticed you use the correct pronouns for each Pokémon instead of calling them all “it.” You use he for males, she for females, and they for gender-less pokemon! That’s awesome!
everytime i watch ur videos i go look for the Taylor reference rn haha! tysm for those its such a small detail but it's soo fun and i get excited for those hehe
The lore you've established about your uncle Jimtendo delights me. I must know more. I can understand fighting another baby, we've all been there. But at a Quizno's? I need this story!
Can I just say that I really appreciate that you make sure to use gender-neutral pronouns for Pokemon without a defined gender? It seems like a small thing but you're the only one I know that consciously does it and I like it. Rock on, man!
I've watch all your videos at lest 3X each some if not more than that, but other than your story/back story/ tale tails which is my 2nd favorite but my favorite of your shows is your awesome and sometimes if not all of them is your great foreshadowing of what's to come next
Because of you i'm doing a nuzlocke of pokemon black. You've inspired me to ...try... to commit to an actual run without giving up halfway through.
Then again I did do a ultra moon nuzlocke at one point, that ended up getting wiped to a whiscash and gyarados.
You've earned that like, not only because this is a great vid, but also for how that SkillShare sponsor was perfectly timed! Jajajjaj. Congrats man!
Alright you got me. I subscribed finally. Love the vids man!
Awesome video flygon :-) oras is my favorite game i hope u do more!
Gardevoir: but wait im a boy tho-
Flygon: “hush child.”
That Groudon Digivolving part really got me!
Oh great run too! Sad deaths, but victory in the end!
fun fact - the NosePass AI will never use rock tomb as long as it is faster than it's opponent
That was, by far, the greatest reminder to subscribe I've ever experienced. Thank you
Your subsribe bit after the surprise rival battle actually made me subscribe, good one!
heres an interesting twist on monotype challenges: use pokemon with only a single type.
not sure how challenging it would be but it sounds cool
Like a purebred-locke? I'd watch that, the encounters would be decently limited.
Love that at 7:35 you crit both of May's Pokemon AFTER not one shotting them with non crits
It would be super cool to see you play through Inclement Emerald. It's a well done romhack that's almost (but not quite as) fleshed out as the well known Radical Red, and has a mega Flygon that's one of my favorite forms in any game. I've done a ground type run in it and it's a really fun one!
I saw Gardevoir in the thumbnail and thought - 'oh nice! another emerald run!' - I was mistaken! Can't wait to watch a FlygonHG ORAS run! :O
I would love to see more in these games for sure. High key Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are my favourite Pokemon games (Mega Evolution personally is a major reason why)
Because Stands are explicitly identified as being a type of psychic power, Staryu could have had the name Jotaro, Jonathan, Josuke, Joseph, etc. or Jostar.
Love the little PSA about life haha
And I love your run on Renegade Platinum, you can do it!
Awesome video as always. You def. make my weekends better
This videos are great and they make my day so much more enjoyable during work, thank you
Love the psychic types used all of great memories....expect wobbuffet who failed me so many times
Gardevoir is an old reliable classic powerhouse I love
Alakazam I used once but it's a special mon to me
Starmie tore though emerald hoenn
Medicham was way more powerful then I ever thought even sweeping the team aqua hideout in AS
& solrock I used in a rock only run in OR and was great for setting up trick room for aggron or armaldo
The subtle "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" reference where the old lady offers you an egg in these trying times. Love it. Also I forgot how decent ORAS is. Compared to the other 3d games it's at least kind of replayable and enjoyable.
Thank you FlygonHG! I really enjoy your videos.
Love the little Always Sunny reference at 11:41 :)
Hey flygon! Love your videos, question, what if you did pokemon x and y with stone evolutions, it's a great way of restriction, while still having variety.
Not me seeing a male Ralts and hoping for a Gallade 😂. Always excellent with your videos though.
Love your runs ! Have you considered hardcore nuzlocks of customs pokemons games like Storm silver, Gaia, etc... ? Would love to see them !
I wouldve been scared of a Mirror Coat from Wallace's Milotic o.o
Nice run, well played!
A cool gen 6 challenge would be to use only Pokémon that can mega evolve (and their pre-evolutions as well of course) but never mega evolve them. This would be interesting as some encounters would be straight up broken but others would be a lot weaker. It would also be a decent spread of Pokémon types
I loved the sponsorship segue. xD
Also, you should do the E4 rematches for ORAS too.
That letter from Daddy Stone damn near killed me.
Uncle Jimtendo AND baby fighting lore on top of another letter? One Ball HG, you spoil us!
I don't know what i prefer, you coming back to my favorite region, or being able to read more of Mr Stones letters to Steven
I think the latter is now the reason
