Still can't believe I used to be a baby, still haunts me to this day...
Same 😭
can't believe most people were once a baby, seems like an evolutionary disadvantage smh
Forget that you used to be a baby, the more pressing issue is that there’s a skeleton still hiding inside you to this day
@Bee Bitbit I agree, I was born as a 17 year old, went straight into high school
Babies are so dumb they can't even do algebra
@@hunter00143 lololololololololololol
Can we appreciate his uncle Jimtendo for making the run possible
The real MVP
I would like your comment, but it's on 666 likes. Can't mess that up
Jimtendo is such a good guy, love him
yes
Yes sir
Barry's AI impressed me in that fight of my game, too. I had my Vaporeon out and she got critted to low health. Barry's Floatzel was out, and he ended up Aqua Jetting into my Vaporeon to heal her with Water Absorb. It was badass.
Doesn't water absorb automatically draw in water-type moves as well? Or did that not happen in Gen 4?
@@iamtheroponian7731 Nope, that's Storm Drain.
Riolu the entire run at 1hp: "I didn't hear no bell"
"i could do this all day"
lol
Old McD's swagger combo was definitely one of the coolest things I've seen an AI trainer do.
I didn’t know the AI even could swagger an ally… I know they can with moves like pollen puff but I thought the AI uses those kind of moves on enemies
Old McDeez Nuts
Deffinitly
They usually don't do anything useful
@@syan2240 wow, a fellow wooper!
The Rival using Swagger on Fat was complete Bananas! Like in all my years of playing pokemon, I have NEVER seen that happen. I didn't know it was even possible to happen. I'm guessing the rival saw the lum berry on Fat, that seems like the most likely factor, but I don't think I've ever had the Rival get to his Empoleon starter in that fight long enough to find out. But that was a total bro move.
Platinum AI is the most unpredictable CPU system of all time
It makes sense there because if the AI sees that you will kill, but they won't, they'll try to make you kill, so that's why the AI did that instead of anything else 'cause a +2 would have killed from full based on the amount of damage the neutral did.
@@airtempest8945 when you put it like that the AI has the biggest brain of all time
would’ve been scarier if it used fissure XD
To be fair does anyone get the rival down to their starter ever? I’m always stuck with munchlax
Cynthia: "I am the bane of the Sinnoh region."
Fly: " *BEHOLD!* my babies"
Yo is that an SMT IV reference
That Snorlax body slamming poor lv1 Igglybuff is so funny, I imagine a giant chuncky bear jumping over a sentient grapefruit.
Igglybuff just blows a hole and flies around deflating
@@liaminator4950 "Ahhhh, lucky shot"
The way you spelled chunky with a 'c' is unironically amazing.
@@lifeof_bi9982 A chucky way to spell chunky
Now imagine it, but Snorlax using Pulverizing Pancake
The piano baby shark playing during shark's rampage over flint took me out, it's so good lol
Thought this same exact thing and was like "this would be a good comment" LOL
And during the Bertha fight XD
This really made me happen
yes
Good to know i didnt just lose it and imagine baby shark
"If babies are so pathetic why do so many people choose to be babies"
I don't need sleep , i need answers
I love how almost every baby did something vital in the run! That actually make me happy!
even the useless ones. like tyrogue helped with mars
And igglybuff just kinda dying to snorlax
"But I mean come on, Spiritomb never crits right?"
*Gets flashbacks*
LOL
Massive respect for doing this challenge in the gen prior to eviolite
Imagine munchlax with eviolite
@@calebmoore1719 don't have to
@@clintonanderson7436 true
He should do it again in gen 5, but no eviolite lol
@@cinos018 not sure about that, there are no new pokemons available and he already used all of them so it would be essentially the same run with different major battles
I never noticed until seeing them all lined up like this, but it's actually pretty weird how they didn't make any baby Pokémon after Gen 4, until that one random Toxel in the latest games.
If I were to guess, GF realized how pointless and generally unpopular they were, so thy generally stopped making them.
However they liked Toxel’s baby design so much, they did it anyways
Gamefreak adds so many things, and never fleshes them out or builds on them.
@@frankwest5388 They were only pointless because they were poorly implemented.
@@boredfangerrude the main reason, to why i say that they are pointless, is because from a game mechanic perspective, they add nothing that a normal evolution/pre-evolution wouldn't provide.
Gameplaywise, the only real difference between a baby and non baby pokemon, is that you can't breed them. Which adds nothing.
While their main advantage is that they are just cute. Something that you can add regardless of making them a baby and thus inconveniencing those who want to breed them.
Lastly, making a new pre-evolution is generally unneeded, since all you are doing is adding in a weaker version, of an already pre-existing mon. Even if they are adorable.
In short, they add very little, if nothing at all, gameplaywise. So, Gamefreak has probably just abandoned the concept out of simplicity.
The only using thing about baby Pokémon is that they can learn new moves set that their second evolution can’t learn, like Pichu can learn sweet kiss but Pikachu can’t learn sweet kiss even though it’s level one. But the baby move set are awful.
probably one of the most interesting nuzlockes I've seen. Was on the edge of my seat for many of the fights and blown away at the tactics used to get babies to smash through gyms.
If you want to make an "All Growed Up" sequel to this where you play BDSP but only with the EVOLVED forms of baby Pokemon, I think that'd be cute. (Obviously very easy, as you'd have The Lax, but it would be cute content!)
Only the survivors tho
the different views of this nuzlocke:
For Matti: _A cruel and infinite blood bath, where his cute and small friends die whenever he doesn't pay attention_
For we: *Aww, look how cute they are playing together*
For me: "At least Daddy is cute" 😐
That is just learning with pibby but the for we is expaction and the for matti is reality
What the hell was that Swagger into Fat while he's holding a lum berry?
I've never seen IA attack ally pokemon before, nor something so incredible, I'm genuinely amazed
The tag battle ai will also use electric moves on you if you have volt absorb and that kind of thing, it's surprisingly smart
@@bewill5121 yes surprising indeed considering how much of a pain that battle could be with that son of a goddamn Bi'tch....
Yeah, happened with me but with my ponyta
I'm guessing it's a similar AI to the Battle Factory which can be pretty smart
Groot evolving into Roselia after it died is actually quite poetic
This man actually put baby shark while shark decimates two of the elite four. Absolute legend
"Babies are also terrible at hand to hand combat" LMFAO 💀💀
The transition into the sponsor segment was also flaweless 😂😂👌🏽
In all seriousness, that insane bastard that physically fought the baby (and everyone else like that hell-bag) deserves the death penalty tbfh. ☠️
Mate it wasn't deliberate, you made an honest mistake, I say runs legit, so I wouldn't sweat the details too much
And at the end of the day they're arbitrary rules set and followed by the creator of the video! So anyone that disagrees can (and should) move on. That's the beauty of it. I love how honest FlygonHG is, it makes tuning in that much better.
Flygon hating babies was a character development I didn't know I needed.
I’ve only seen a handful of your videos so far, but your transparency and communication is incredibly refreshing! Something about your videos just feels so cozy to settle down and watch, even with the high stakes. Seeing the little message on trans lives at the end was so nice :)
Why? It was unnecessary
@@donovanlocust1106 To you, it was, but to others, it's an unexpectedly sweet message
@@spamtoncrocker9067 so? It's not like this CZcamsr actually cares about them or their struggle.
@@donovanlocust1106 Yes he does. He openly supports the trans community😂
@@dollface6591 he's only saying that to get fans? He really doesn't care.
My "watch later" list is at like 140 videos but I will ALWAYS watch these videos right away, they are consistently both humorous and entertaining.
Keep up the good work man
Same man I've 280 videos in my watch later but I always watch these videos instantly
Mine's at about 1.5k...what am I doin' with my life...
I forgot that feature was a thing, I've just been shoving them into bookmarks.
Your so right
@@teacherdaniel3193 you're not alone in this ._.
The Skillshare read transition was gold.
10:07 The way those babies kept switching out to slowly chip away at purugly was great
44:05 I was so on board and entertained when I heard "igglybuff shaped solution" the "just barely doesn't survive a body slam" got me so off guard as I watch that 13 go to a 0 LMAO
Your consistent growth in subscribers fits your consistent growth in humor and writing. You’re seriously getting better and better and more creative. You deserve all of your success. Thank you for being my favorite CZcamsr :)
@@FlygonHG dude this was a super epic nuzlocke video I just can't believe somebody could do this good with weak baby Pokémon thanks for this amazing video
@@FlygonHG Really loved the intro on this run!! Usually do 2x speed cuz I’m busy but I sat down at the tv with some popcorn for this one. Congrats on the run!! I agree your recent videos are so bomb!
real talk, your videos keep getting funnier and funnier, the intro and skill share introduction had me rolling LOL
Yea for real. They were always good but he keeps getting better and better.
43:05 "Honestly, if Raichu had connected with Focus Miss."
Pretty sure he did connect with such a crucial miss!
I laughed out loud at running from Giratina, I’ve never even considered that as an option before
A natural follow up for this video would be a Teen Age Pokémon challenge - with only allowing the 2nd evolution form from pokemon that has three stages.
So in other word, no two-step evolution pokemon or no-evolution pokemon. You know, Charmeleon looks pretty cool, but can it take on the Elite Four?
Thats a cool idea i might actually do that
i want to see this.
this dude done it
czcams.com/video/7-HvBxTztv8/video.html
honestly why not? Nobody really gived the second stages a second look (hah), because they're not as extremely challenging as the first stages but also not final and as strong as the third stages.
Commenting to bump this because I also think it'd be neat!
yo, that's great transparancy. I'm 100% on the "valid run" side. Every thing is fine dude, you did great. ggs :)
44:04 had me ROLLING! Your deadpan sarcasm sounded so believable, it caught me off guard. Hilarious content as always!
I think this is the first time that a skill share sponsorship had me burst out laughing. As soon as you started the segment about how the babies will never grow up I knew the skill share segment was coming, but I really didn’t expect how long it would go on for and I definitely didn’t expect that exactly segway which only made it all the funnier. Thank you for being such a comedic genius.
I really like the “trans lives = human lives” at the end :)
I saw that and was like "I have to sub now!"
Good publicity that's what that is. I feel like most people who say that don't mean it and want to look socially acceptable. Then again that's just what I think
@@number1cheater272 if you watched HG's streams, you wouldn't say that, he has always been supportive towards minorities. He does mean it.
Yeah, it made me really happy when I saw that ^_^
me too
this is my favourite episode of Rugrats
also regarding a VOD channel, as someone that doesn't use Twitch I'd appreciate it
Same here
Agreed
Yeah especially because twitch VODs get deleted after awhile
Same here, he's so much more emotional in his twitch streams. Since he often shifts into a monotone voice during these.
yes VOD channel would be mint
Now I feel like we need a “Can you beat with ‘Teen’ Pokémon only” to go with this challenge
Basically, if it has 3 evolutions, you can’t evolve past the second evolution. And just to make it a bit more challenging, Chansey will be banned for this challenge because it’s so OP compared to the other mid-evos
Should be for a hack or fangame then, something with considerably increased difficulty
Porygon2 too.
eviolite go brrrrrr
46:18 Noooo not baby shark nooooooooooo
The baby statistics had me WHEEZING. And the baby shark theme ENDED me. 😂 Absolutely hilarious. Keep up the work, HG! Fantastic work as always!
Hey Flygon, if you're looking for ideas to make nuzlocks with potentially type-diverse teams, you could do one using only Pokemon of a certain shape, as determined by the Pokedex. Haven't really seen anyone do that before
Oh that's genius I want that
Mhm
that's so creative I'd love to see that
Just a thought, isn’t Phione a “baby” Pokémon? That would probably be a bit OP for this run, though.
Technically no because it's considered fully evolved.
It's not canonically a Baby Pokémon, I'm afraid.
the definition of baby pokemon is kinda strict. it has to be a first form evolution (it might have to be the first of 3 but it has to be able to evolve at some point) and it has to be part of the undiscovered egg group. thats the reason why first form starters like squirtle arent considered babies despite being first form evolutions
Phone can lay an egg, whereas baby Pokémon have to be in the undiscovered egg group
@@austinwanner449 Mantyke is first of two, so it doesn't matter how many future forms it has, as long as it evolves at least once
Me when he goes against Cynthia with baby pokemon:
Who sent babies to war?
Cynthia: "I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"
Me: me too Cynthia I can't remember the last time I almost lost to a baby
Honestly who wouldnt want to put cynthia in a corner.
@@luckasneo2089 you're not wrong just not right either
@@luckasneo2089 Something something raised eyebrow and camera
How did we miss “No one puts BABY in a corner!” on this???
The little notes on the bottom screen made the entire gameplay that much more entertaining to watch. FlygonHG is so creative. Awesome work. Love the videos!
This was SO CLEVER - I've watched a lot of your challenge runs because I thoroughly enjoy them and your storytelling, but this was something else. Seeing someone actually utilize baby pokemon was fascinating, and you knocked it out of the park!
baby shark playing in the backgroud of mantykes sweep was hilarious, and "tr@ns lives = human lives" h3ll yeah they do!
this isn't tiktok you don't need to censor these words
...why the hell are you censoring "trans"? You also don't need to censor "hell" either. Just use words!
This script feels like a total step up, so many clever jokes and really good edits. Also love the pokewatch messages, I stan my king.
I REALLLLY appreciated the explainer about the items and when you will allow them. That transparency is great. Technically you could grind them so you’re just skipping the monotony! Which we’re fine with.
Love your style
Smoochum's Forewarn alerted you of Sucker Punch
Too bad this Flygon has Oblivious
Lol
No one is gonna talk about how ONLY 99.5 PERCENT OF PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE BABIES????? THE FUCK WAS THE OTHER .5%
this script is gold, holy shit I doubled over laughing in 2 minutes.
This video was insane! The rival Empoleon swagger was wild and I can't believe how well your baton pass stat boosting completely destroyed Cynthia! I'd be interested in full twitch stream vods on another channel if you're open to that
The baby shark song during the E4 sweep was hilarious.
46:06 The piano cover of "Baby Shark" killed me
Ice Ice looking to FHG, pleading to be switched out. Alerting him to the dangers ahead.
Fly: -I’m gonna pretend- I didn’t see that.
Really respect your sentiment on honesty! Its easy to lie for something as challenging as a hardcore nuzlocke, so im glad i know i could trust you in your videos. It really makes the payoff of really overcoming your real struggles all the more fulfilling!
Rivals in team battles can be pretty cool sometimes. The one time something like this happened to me was when Cheren's stoutland used wild charge on my electivire, which gained a speed boost due to motor drive.
This is one of my favourite nuzlocke.
The name theme, the jokes, the false newspapers, everything is funny and amazing in this video
Been here since 300 subs, so happy that this channel is getting its recgonition it deserves. Keep up the good work!
The OGs!!!
When your rival used Swagger on your Munchlax in the tag battle, it reminded me of something similar that happened in one of my Nuzlockes. It was during the Lance tag battle in the Rocket Hideout in the Sacred Gold romhack. I led with Arcanine who had the ability Flash Fire, then swapped into my Bronzong. My ally's Dragonair targeted my Arcanine that turn with Fire Blast, and knocked out my Bronzong when it switched in. Needless to say, I was pissed.
The only other example I can think of like this is how the AI can sometimes target allies with status moves like Will-o-wisp and Toxic if the Pokemon they're targeting has the ability Guts.
BAHAHA THATS DIRTY
The AI is 20 steps ahead of us simple mortals
Run is completely valid and I love the extra time taken to be so open with this challenge. This was amazing, super well done. Also at 49 minutes in... ❤
The feeling i get from watching a lvl 50 Mantyke butcher an E4 member while it's dumb back smiley face stares at me and Baby Shark plays in the background deserves a new word in the dictionary.
All of your nuzlockes are good, but this one--the nicknames, the jokes, the good video itself-- just landed really nicely. Great video, RIP Ice Ice
48:50 is one of the reasons I love your videos so much (besides the wonderful gameplay and entertaining and insightful commentary, of course)
Not 🎶Baby Shark🎶 playing as you absolutely decimate Bertha 😂😂
I ended up watching your videos exclusively while I eat and relax. I don't even play pokemon for like 15 years now but your comments and overall style is just too amusing to be missed. Keep up the great work and thanks a lot for your effort
24:31 it is the funniest noise i've ever heard. Love your nuzlockes, they are always humorus and bring joy to my life.
These runs are always a blast, even just for the nicknames
This was an awesome run! Very impressive! Also, I appreciate your transparency! I feel like most other nuzlockers, including myself, would've just re-did that battle you accidentally exited out of. But you went the extra mile of trying to set up the battle with the mistakes/rng included! I don't think you had to do that, but I do appreciate the earnestness of your runs!
Literally in the first 40 seconds I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t breathe. Keep up the great humor and amazing videos! Thank you
The notes written on the notepad of poketch are underrated.
iirc they were mainly there to hold back the endless barrage of "wait so can he evolve them ever?" questions as people came in and out of twitch chat, but they were definitely a fun little addition each time. babies 5ever
Baby Shark playing in the background while Shark slaughtered Flint's entire team was hilarious
If you really like runs with some type variety, have you considered doing a run where all of your Pokémon are in the same body type category in the Pokédex?
wow Cynthia must be easy if you can beat her in 10 moves with baby pokemon
this might be my favorite run you’ve done so far. between the intro, the nicknames, and the overall stellar commentary, this video is a masterpiece. nice job.
This was really the most entertaining nuzlocke I've seen so far out of all! The idea was 10/10, there was an appropriate level of professionalism, drama caused by silly mistakes, and humor :)
One of the best transitions into an ad I’ve ever seen, fair play 👏😂
Been binging your videos after coming across the channel, and I'm extremely impressed with the level of detailed explanations. It makes it easy for people aren't pokemon experts to join along too.
Also, the quiet Baby Shark melody playing in the background while your baby Shark murders the entire teams of 2 of the Elite Four is one of the best things ever.
The fake nature article using a “novel PCR method” took me out, I see the PhD is being put to good use 😂
The run's still valid, as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for the transparency.
I'd also love a VOD channel.
Tbh theres a lot of transphobia in the pokemon community and its nice to finally see someone who is actually not transphobic, we stan this guy
Since when where was transphobia in a thing like Pokémon of all things
@@theequalizer694 Transphobia is everywhere especially nowadays
“At least Daddy is cute”
Me: My life has no meaning
I dunno why but I want to see him beating soul silver with only poison types.
Poison types are my second favorite type. I second this
This video was just so good. The strategy is fun to watch and your jokes are always on point. From the intro and ad to baby shark playing in the background as you swept with mantyke. Brilliant.
That was such a good video! The strategizing, the AI giving you a boost, and how well the babies did!
Starting my playthrough in life as a baby was a tough decision. But the fast growth rate and good gene IVs I was able to evolve into an adult male
That Richu bit is unfortunate but very well explained. This is the best challenge yet. Very exciting!
Amazing video! Some of your strategies were really impressive, and I appreciate that you wrote Trans Lives are Human Lives for the champion battle. Great work all around, this is definitely one of my favorite runs that you've done!
man when that electric dog crunched your nut I got a lil scared!
Nooo 😂
The intro had me rolling, not going to lie. Great video, and thanks for being an ally. I've subbed to your channel now and look forward to future videos! :)
Baby animals overcame their greatest challenges using the power of teamwork. You've tricked me into watching an episode of Wonder Pets.
Hey you don't see the Wonder Pets beating the shit out of adults
Barry using swagger on munchlax was the highlight of the run for me. I’ve never seen some competitive level stuff like that from a computer before
There is that duo under a bridge in Victory Road in Hoenn who Skill Swap away a Slaking’s Truant to other Pokémon, allowing a true behemoth to emerge.
I LOVE BABY SHARK SONG DURING FLINT AND BERTHA BATTLE
The substitute, baton pass set up was beautiful
The fact that you were able to do this good with baby pokemkn is insane
I don't care that MDB already did this. I'm going to enjoy this entire video.
MDB did not do a hardcore nuzlocke with all baby pokemon, not at all the same challenge
I was going to say, MDB did it with over levelling permitted, and was allowed to attempt battles multiple times without game resets
The point stands
@@mooseygoosey9720 Beans
Always nice to see more than just a solid team working together in challenges like this one. Also, loved the Pokétch messages.
I bet Cyrus was one of those people who was never a baby.
