I think the Flying-type E4 member’s deal is that Golf has a bunch of terms relating to birds, like “Birdy” or “Eagle”, so it’s supposed to be a pun
I never realized this.. Also, the Braviary makes sense since the sport is so popular in the States. And yeah 'Eagle'. Isn't 3 under par named an Albatross or something?
@@Locormus2 tbh I have no idea, I've only ever played Golf on Wii Sports lol. I just remember there being bird-related things
@@Locormus2 yeah Albatross comes next with 3 under par, and then sometimes on the internet there are condor and ostrich for 4 and 5 under par, but i guess they're not official
Does she have a Pelipper? I know it's based on a pelican, not an albatross, but it still would make sense for the joke
It's like that alice in wonderland girl with birds for golf clubs
Lusamine's entire battle strategy: My enemy can't know what I'm doing if even I don't know what I'm doing
Also clefable is definitely the perfect pokemon for her since they're both evil
Deranged character picks irrational moves... checks out
Canonically she suffered a mental breakdown over the death of her husband. She's got random AI because she's insane. Her grief manifested in in a dangerous obsession with the Ultra Beasts. In the original games she wanted to gain their power for herself but in the expanded lore of USUM she wanted to destroy them all. Which is why she had Type: Null created, why she treated her kids like trash and tried to turn her son into the trigger puller for the weapon that is Type: Null. Cosmog was always central to her plans as she needed its transdimensional warping powers to rip open portals to the dimension of the Ultra Beasts.
@@CrazedKitsune so what do you have to say about larry's staraptor (5th gym leader's ace) only knowing aerial ace and facade
@@HuangLongGaming I say I didn't know this as I have yet to fight him. Though from what I know through osmosis: Larry is SEVERELY overworking himself, is perpetually exhausted and thus probably doesn't always think clearly and thus makes questionable decisions at times.
For reference I have fought one gym and then decided to delay gyms until wild pokemon approach my max obedience level and then do another until I have explored everywhere I can. THEN I'll do the story. I'm also training basically everything as a personal challenge so it's taking a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. I have 2 badges now and when I finish grinding will go do a 3rd.
"Seems like my character is a hardcore gen 1er."
Well yeah, your family moved to Alola from Kanto.
In the Pokémon community, it's spelled "genwunner", but it's definitely possible you didn't know, so I'll let it slide.
Hey uhhh I knew people spelled it like that but I never knew why?
How would u know only cuz ash moved from kanto doesnt mean main character did too
@@KKG_SWITCHED In literally the first ten minutes, it's established that you, your mom, and her pet Meowth moved from Kanto to Alola.
@@KKG_SWITCHED The character’s mother literally states this at the start of the game. It’s also why she has a Kanto Meowth instead of an Alolan one.
Considering how Lusamine was being severely poisoned by Nihilego venom, that may explain why her AI was so wonky. Or at least that's how I'm going to justify it.
What you mean in ultra sun and moon? She got poisoned from nihilego in sun moon but after failing to catch necromaza in ultra she’s actually decent and changed. In sun moon she is a psycho bitch and has no redemption.
@@yoshpeters3079 its a joke-
@@pluigipng9061
I don’t mean to be rude but jokes still have to make sense.
I think the AI just have a random chance to make a random move because I've played this game several times and don't remember her being such a dimwit
sure but you can absoultely understand what the joke here even if the reasoning isn't 100% thorrough@@trogbison1625

Definitely doesn't sound fun
You're a brave man, I just did a normal Nuzlocke of my first run of the game and Necrozma absolutely mollywhopped me

Gurry would have won
Cry more
@@nugs2733 i just normally do focus sash endeavour and then priority works every time :)
Dude the power of friendship easily carried me
Despite the cut scenes, i still think this is one of the best pokemon games. You get so many options to build your team the way you want and there are tons of unique and interesting battles.
Plus without HM's, you don't have to resort on wasting a movepool on one's team.
@@akilcharles3473 that right there is what makes it hard for me personally to go back to old gens, forcing the use of an HM slave kinda kills part of team building. So many quality of life changes that I adore and make the games better.
i agree.
AND THE STORY! THE STORY IS AMAZING
@@Coconut_Prrson no it isn't the storyline sucks it's the exact same storyline as sun and moon just with some slight differences and not to mention the rotom Pokedex never shut up it was always talking every 5 seconds it was talking and asking the same questions over and over
Wait the Trainers in Ultra Sun have IVs and EVs AND good natures!? I never knew that. My goodness.
It certainly explains some of my losses while playing
I will just that: Ultra Sun and Moon are better in every way possible, except the history.
This game is hard man, don't underrestimate it. I'm actually looking forward to do a hc nuzlocke on this game too
That explains why I had to get carried through the game by the level 50 event Celebi
Yeah I wouldn’t know I hit one button on my incineroar the entire game
Knowing that you were finishing a PhD while preparing this huge video makes it even better. Thanks for the content, always a joy to watch.

@@boianko I thought it was me mishearing multiple times wow
I didnt play USUM (or SM for that matter) until last summer, wary of the hate I had seen for it. But when I played it, I felt they were severely underrated. Of all the games, these try the hardest to do something different, and I thought they were successful in that. They aren't my favorite games, but I do treasure them more than anything from the 3ds/Switch era
black amd white was the same case. tried something different that people didn't like. personally gen 5 amd gen 7 are my favorite games with gen 5 being #1. i struggled more with black and white then i did with ultra sun and moon(except with ultra necrozma) thats just me tho both are fantastically good games
best pokemon game in my opinion
Pokemon fans hate reading
@@asprinjuice8877 but will also constantly complain about the story that they arent reading being bad and the rivals being boring
@@aceknight6622I thought gen 5 was the most liked game
In theory, couldn’t each wishiwashi in a school form another school of its own creating a Pokemon to rival even bidoof?
infinite Wishiwashis
wishiwishiwishiwishiwishiwashi
The Pokédex entries do say that they “attract others of their kind”, but it does seem quite silly on land...plus, Pokédex entries are not exactly sane/literal. My headcanon is that Wishiwashi are able to create Stand-like projections of other Wishiwashi, that break when hit too hard.
...why wasn't THAT a Gigantomax? The SUPER-Wishiwashi surrounded by tiny fish... that are full-sized swarms in their own right!
Does he know how to cheese Ultra Necrozma though?
"This raticate will be important later."
He knows! :D
my choice was a mimikyu
Pretty sure if ratata/raticade wasn't in the game, he woulda be screw.
My choice was zoroark with punishment
@@solfireblaze9292 level one zoroa disguised as a pure poison type with the move toxic. Ultra necrozma’s AI can’t differentiate zorua/zorark when they’re disguised, so If they’re disguised as a poison type he’ll always spam photon geyser, of which zoroa is immune, allowing you to safely toxic stall with no worries.
Ultra necrozma is terrifying. Went in and immediately watched all my team go down in one hit each except my muk who lived on like 1/4 health
FlygonPhD: "I believe the scientific term for this is that I am f***'d"
This was too funny, someone help me get up from falling off my chair lmao
I must have missed it while letting the video play on the background, at which fight did he say this
It's crazy that the Butterfree was actually Lee Harvey Oswald all along
When did he say it
I fuken know right had me doing crunches for at least 10mins on the floor
About the 8 min on wards
actually leaving a second reply here regarding Elite 4 Kahili:
I think they cut an entire part of more storyline as there's a full-blown golf course on the Alola Map and everything and Golf uses a few words like Birdie, Eagle, etc.
so yea.... she's just.... there
I agree. I had thought that perhaps the golf course would play some role in USUM (as it was on SM's map too, and inaccessible there as well), but it turns out Game Freak didn't add it in. It would have done some good for giving Kahili a role in the plot.
I believe that Kahili's only non-E4 appearance occurs when you obtain the Flyinium Z at Ten Carat Hill in USUM, where she demonstrates the movement that activates the Flyinium Z (what she calls "her dance" in the dialogue). And there, the game only gives her name as ???.
@@BrandonClaridge I'm pretty sure she even in one of those hotels I guess!
@@akilcharles3473 That is correct. She is in the Grand Hano resort post game I believe. She tells you that her family owns the hotel, encourages you to train, and gives you the Trick Room TM.
Its been confirmed by the devs that they had to cut an entire island due to crunch. it was too glitchy to release and they weren't allowed to go back and fix it due to the timelines the shareholders set.
@@MsMoonDragoon Damn, that's a shame. It would've been really awesome to play through another island, and getting an idea as to who Kahili was
I’m not even joking, a big reason these games are one of the hardest to nuzlocke is because one of the main things needed for nuzlockes is patience. This game has so many cutscenes it genuinely tests patience in vanilla playthroughs. So many people get impatient because of the cutscenes that they make mistakes
ultra necrozma also doesnt help
literally higher stats than god itself
I feel like this game was design purely to make nuzlockes of it hard.
@@Sammy_The_UmbreonHonestly feels like it, never nuzlocke these
No not really, it's because the trainers and totem fights are just built to be very difficult and have good ev trained pokemon with maxed out IVs, unlike almost every other game
You should see Pokémon SV then man.. 💀 (well mostly at the beginning)
I’m only three and a half minutes in and I’m already laughing my head off at your commentary. I think your sense of humour is the main reason why you’re one of my favourite PokéTubers.
Omg, and now I just got to “lifarjay” and feel like I should live tweet my experience of watching this Nuzlocke 🤣
For me it's the correct pronunciation that keeps me hooked :)
In his Pokemon Emerald Normal type run his Delcatty and Flannery's Camerupt attract eachother and the narration is a better lovestory than most.
This is facts
@@jasonreed7522 like Romeo and Juliette without the suicide
The real 'hardcore' part of this challenge is making it through the cutscenes
True
Ikr 😭 bro I hated this game
@@killerbanana3127 I thought it was alright, but the sheer concentration of unskippable cutscenes was awful.
Hot take here, I don’t really think the story here is a problem. If anything, it adds to the replayability. And if you don’t like it, that’s what speed-ups are for. How are you going to tell an engaging story without keeping the player on a set path and constantly providing new character developments? I’m not saying these games are perfect, they’re just seen under the wrong light.
@@diamondminer5459 your right but I hated the Pokémon and the elite four
"Get an ability capsule, hide it in a peanut butter sandwich" had me rolling.
The fun part of doing a hardcore nuzlocke of this is when I assumed everyone banned Z-moves for it so I did the same thing and did 5 attempts of resets before I finally won
I ban Z-Moves as well, but I also don't go full Hardcore with the ruleset (I use limited items). Full HC without Z Moves is quite the feat.
@@weewer3369 I did ban Z-moves in my regular moon nuzlocke and it made the game a little more strategy based, even if I did use items.
@@thefrubblewarrior4678 I disagree, using items causes less strategy when compared to using z-moves in my opinion. I believe this to be the case as items are much more versatile and can be applied in a lot more scenarios, while z-moves are essentially just a one-time super attack.
@@thatsprettyfarfetchd9888 well then again I rarely used items
@@thefrubblewarrior4678that’s the great part of nuzlockes, you can play them however you want to, to have the most fun 😀
Shotput had a naughty nature and “likes to thrash about” would imply it’s highest IV was attack, so considering it was max phys attack magnezone it really (shot)put in a lot of work
you're saying it as if having high attack and high special attack are mutually exclusive lol, or that it having an attack boosting nature or high attack IV affects its special attack in any way
@@greninjafw edit for a TL;DR it’s bad compared to other magnezone, not other Pokémon in general.
I’ll try to better explain my reason for saying so. Amongst its magnezone peers, it naturally has special attack that is average at best. It has the highest of the least useful stat. Of 25 natures, the only 4 u could objectively call worse than naughty are each that lower special attack. It has potentially the 6th worst nature it could have, since brave could arguably be below naughty. Speed lowering natures that aren’t quiet or brave are less detrimental to its survival as they would at least compensate with extra defense. Based on the info we have, comparing it to other magnezone would show that it is average at best in speed, average at best in special attack, and below average at taking special hits. A slow special attacking tank, without a boost to special attack, and an inferior ability to take hits, without even a boost in speed to compensate slightly, means that it is less likely to survive the play through, compared to at least 5 other magnezone out of 10.
@@brandonh.1812 unless that has changed in gen 7 or 8, which to my knowledge, it hasn’t, the characteristic refers to the highest IV of a pokemon. Likes to thrash about means that it’s highest IV is attack, or alternatively, it has several IVs at the same value and attack is one of them. An attack IV of 1,6,11,16,21,26 or 31 would result in “likes to thrash about”
@@HarveyMeadowlark Mevermind then
@Brendan Yee because bad versions of Pokémon typically underperform compared to good, or even mediocre versions of themselves. That magnezone deals less damage than a good one, even a decent one. It also takes more damage on the special side, and has bad speed. Imagine a high school basketball team fielding a 6’3 center. He’s inferior athletically to more than 50% of his peers.
Edit cause CZcams somehow turned your name into a chain of 15-20 random characters lol
Honestly, USUM are my favorite games in the series, the only problem I have with them is that beginning of the games are really slow. Everything else from that is straight fun and actually challenging. Definitely the hardest game to Nuzlocke
I'm glad to see people giving the alola games love.
@@trogbison1625 Gen 5 is the other region that deserves love because it's the best
Was looking for a comment of someone saying how great alola is. By far the best gen, and my only fault is the start of the game but compared to the faults other games in the series have it is easily (imo) better. I get not liking the cutscenes but the story is really good mainly in vanilla sun and moon. Its more character focused than plot focused but i think that really works. I also think he exaggerated how long it takes to ev train, if anything gen 7 are the easiest to ev train with sos chaining (minus gen 6 having super training).
@@louish5068 Alola is a fantastic experience for a first playthrough, but the more and more you play it, that's when the cutscenes get to you. I'm willing to bet most people are playing pokemon on roms nowadays. The problem with that is, it only covers the 2d era of pokemon, and it has speedup, so skipping past all the dialogue is much easier. So a lot of the lulls of Alola aren't even its own fault.
The story is great, but a good story can get dull with too many repeated visits, like watching the same movie over and over. But I think if there was a "skip cutscene" button, people would be a lot nicer.
My list is
Gen 5
Gen 3
Gen 7
Gen 4
Gen 8
Gen 6
Gen 2
Gen 1
Gen 8 and 4 are kinda interchangeable for me though

what... is this _"horse"..._ you're referring to?
I am absolutely dreading the Ultra Necrozma fight, it's kept me from nuzlocking this game... also the 5000 cutscenes
Seriously, while playing usum I kept getting mad at my 3ds every time a cutscene played because I was so sick of them
Say what you will about Sword and Shield, but the cutscenes weren’t as plentiful.
@@diamondminer5459 The story was poorly executed but the game itself is a lot of fun, imo.
Yep we ALL know how scary that monster is too nuzlocke.
Bro but u also have to remember lurantis too I remember I tried to nuzlocke and let's just say I.Hate.Lurantis.
The fact that there's a move called "throat chop" feels strangely brutal
Honestly, we just need a Pokemon that can learn Throat Chop, Brutal Swing, Guillotine, and Curse. Not the best moveset, but it is pretty brutal.
@@bentowers3614 mew? Are they all tms
In Japanese, it's called fucking Hell Thrust.
@@sayvionwashington1939 Jesus H. Christ! Of course its called hell thrust.
@@benman92 You could probably get it on Smeargle with sketch
personally i really like how it's more focused on story stuff, so the cutscenes arent bad imo
I like story stuff too - but the cutscenes just make it a pain to replay since you already know what's gonna happen
A "skip" option would have been an easy solution imo
"i'm basically a flying type trainer now"
half an hour later:
"i'm so sick of these birds"

It's probably not intentional, but the comedic timing of you panning Lusamine's faulty AI into almost immediately targeting the Noivern instead of the Kommo-o is just hilariously on point. Never change, Dr. Flygon.
I swear these games would have soooooo mucch replay value if GF have just heard of a skip cutscene button before.
But if we add the possibility to skip cutscenes, a six-year old who can barely read might skip one by accident and then would be completely lost on the entirely linear road to the next cutscene!
@@corhydrae3238 I mean flagon here got confused multiple times by children’s puzzles so you never know
@@corhydrae3238 A compromise is having the skip button only appear on new games on a cleared cartridge, so you have to know what is going on first time around and then replayability increases because there is at least an option now
@@BaconNuke to be fair, the games don't let you have multiple save files, so it can't track if you've beaten it because the only way to replay it is to reset the cartridge on 3DS or your account save data on the Switch games
Love that you did a generation past 5.
A fun story about Ultra Necrozma:
I was running Zoroark in my first playthrough of Ultra Sun, having no idea the Ultra Necrozma boss fight was a thing. I also happened to be running a poison type. Having disguised Zoroark as my Poison type, Ultra Necrozma just could not punch through with it's Photon Geyser.
A notoriously hard fight completely washed by a mix of pure coincidence and improvisation. I remember hearing my brother, who was playing UM, talking all kinds of shit about how difficult his battle with UN was.
I just giggled because it literally didn't do a single thing to me, and was also genuinely surprised because it didn't occur to me what power that thing actually had until everyone talked about how hard it was.
I had a reverse similar circumstance with my roommate. I wiped twice and had to use the x item for crits to get through. Told my roommate to let me watch him. His Malamar lives a hit and gets off a topsy turvy and sweeps the thing since it was omni-dropped then
I won the Ultra Necrozma fight by pure sheer luck. My strat was to grind my Incineroar to a point where he could survive a power gem and decimate Necrozma with a Malicious Moonsault. I tried but he couldn't survive a hit and when he didn't survive I just whited out. The only pokemon in my team who was not OHKOed by necrozma was my magnezone. He survived a hit and I used tri attack just to waste the turn but IT PARALIZED NECROZMA. I saw my opportunity and revived Incineroar as Necrozma killed my magnezone. Then Necrozma was fully paralized so he couldn't power gem my incineroar. Then Malicious Moonsault destroyed that goddam thing.
when i was battling against ultra necrozma i wiped like so many times that i even have to use roto boosts on my primarina and some x items because my primarina was the only one that can survive a photon geyser and after spamming healing items and necrozma run out of photon geyser i was able to take down that monster...........
I saw someone in YT comments who OHKOd it with a crit First Impression. I only beat it after my Incineroar dodged Power Gem off Friendship then got a crit with Malicious Moonsault.
@@drifloonsupremacyassociation sounds like a fucking anime moment. The protagonist gets taken down by the BBEG, only for the best friend/rival to sacrifice himself so that the protagonist can be revived and stand a chance against the BBEG, and so the protagonist finally takes down the BBEG with his signature move/new form that he may or may not have unlocked through his best friend’s death.
I genuinely love these games. It might be the fact that gen 7 was the gen I played the most, but they are still my favorite.
Also, I love nuzlocking these games since they are actually difficult games at some points making it a great challenge.
Everyone that hates the games just ignored the cutscenes and mashed through to dialogue, similar to how gen 5 was initialy dislike because of its focus on story
I love how similar this is to when I nuzlocked this game. Toxic stall just sometimes was the only safe answer to a lot of these terrifying pokemon. I refused to FEAR necrozma so it ended up being a toxic stall with a bunch of sturdy Pokémon with protect.
Am I the only one that doesn't mind all of the cutscenes in this game? It was a nice change of pace to have a more cinematic game, in my opinion at least.
I think you might be. Not to say you’re wrong, but you might actually be the only one who doesn’t mind :P
I didn't mind the heavy story based ones, but some explanatory scenes were just too much, also the end credits last foreveeer
Same, Gen 7 is my fave lol, but I do have to say, not being able to skip cutscenes can make it hard to replay lol
I thought it made the story more engaging. Another one of my favorite games, xenoblade 2, has literally 14 hours of main story cutscenes and that's one of the best games I've ever played. I think it makes it much more enjoyable, as long as the actual gameplay doesnt suffer as a result (which it doesnt as seen in this run).
@@sneed5449 never understood this complaint. Like, you know you can just ignore it? It doesnt harm gameplay at all
To those planning to do this challenge:
-start with litten, its type combination is very valuable
-use thief to steal 6 leftovers from route 1 munchlax
-totem mimikyu + wide lens from sableye + will o wisp always guarantees a free burn, collect those stamps for the gift totems
-never understimate a veteran or ace trainer, go look up the wiki and prepare to counter them
-kartana with swordsdance and the right moves can solo most bosses on its own
-ultra moon has better gift totem pokemon and the first totem has 4x weakness to fighting, choose the version you want to play wisely
to add onto this, on route 2 avoid the grass until the patch at the very end of the route past the pokemon centre, that patch has the highest chance of getting spearow which can be traded for a hawlucha in the pokemon centre and will make the first trial super easy
Wait, but one of the rules was "no ultra beasts"... Why did you recommend an ultra beast?
@@ethnictendo Everyone has their own nuzlocke rules. He probably considers UBs fine while flygonHG doesnt.
@@mysticia4582 Okay, but if this person was trying to consider FlygonHG's rules, then he failed to do so.

I love that whole rant about Wishiwashi, I thought about it once and not to that extent and now I’m very VERY confused.
After you said this was your longest video ever, I checked the length and saw that it was almost an hour. I’ve never been so surprised by a video length. Seriously felt like 15 minutes. Amazing.
Highly anticipated you playing this!
"seems like my character is a diehard genwunner" LOL
as someone who's never played the game i do dig the poliwhirl rug though
Hey man, just wanted to say I feel like you're really comming into your own with the commentary, increasingly more fun, witty and feels like your personality is coming through more and more
I have my problems with the Ultra games, but their challenge, aesthetic, and side quests make them my favorite post gen 6 games.
I’m excited for the Ultra Necrozoma fight I wanna see how you strategize to Win.
Hope you're not hype 😂
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 that is your mistake. Nothing helps against that monster.

Your content has definitely become one of those comfort channels for me. Always love watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
I would echo these sentiments with a like, but your likes are at a nigh sacred number and I can't bear to interrupt that
Your channel and playthroughs have definitely become a comfort channel for me. I listen to your nuzlockes while I'm writing my story, and when i'm just relaxing. I love all your playthroughs and you are, by far, the funniest i've come across! Keep up the good work, and thank you for doing these!
The title should be "how i toxic stalled an entire nuzlocke run"
A bit too much stalling for my taste, but a good video as always, keep it up man!
I mean stalling is one of the best ways to survive in Ultra Alola specially against that lie- lie- Light dragon.
EV training in this game is actually incredibly easy... if you use SOS chaining, which you banned.
Still, I hope you at least used the "Power" items, which increase your EV gain. They are available really early in this game, on the second island.
I think he specifically banned SOS chaining for catching pokemon, not in general. he didn't know what it was though, so he probably didn't use it for EV training either
As a fellow runner I appreciated the running humor!
Something about your profile picture resonates with me
Gatlin killed me 🤣
If USUM had a “skip cutscene” button it’d probably be the best game in the series. The fights are so much fun, there’s just so much dead space between them.
Still remember when I found your channel when you were at 15k subs. Your challenge runs always make me smile! Thank you so much for your time spent on the challenges. :)

@Aradhya Gupta hail yeah indeed 😉
Precipitation affirmation
Saw this pop up while cooking, guess I’ll have a great time getting my lasagna done now :)
Alolan games are by far my favorite. I think I love every bit of the game and believe there will never be a better one. So I am very sad when I hear that everyone hates cutscenes in the game. I just love the story making between the countless battles that bored me in previous games of the series. The battle music makes me want to encounter every important character again and again in the alolan games so I'm not as bored. The game is just perfect for me
The tombstones at 16:37 made me laugh so much
So glad you played this, I think this game is so underrated. Plus, it has a great postgame with rainbow rocket and the ultra worm holes to get the legendaries,
Agreed
While the Ultra worm holes are fun, I wish all the legendaries had their own locations within the wormholes, like the ultra beasts do. While I’d prefer them to be around the map in their own locations, I’d at least like to see some variety in location other than water, cave, clifftop and ravine. Even if they were just unique rooms that call back to original games, like a N’s castle room for Zekrom and Reshiram, it’d be much better than how USUM handles the legendaries.
Same, my favorite was doing the Mantine surfing. That was enjoyingly fun😁
There goes an hour of my life, without me realizing it! You are by far one of the most entertaining Pokémon content creators I've ever watched.
This was so fun to watch on twitch. Everyone should catch a stream some time Matti is super nice live and chat is very friendly. Great video, good to relive this roller coaster of a run
I love how carbink stole the show. I love carbink, thanks to gen 8 i have one thats shiny max defenses with iron defense and body press making carbink the single tankiest sweeper to ever exist, and its hilarious. 3 iron defenses and it has effectively 1700 defense and body press hits with it effectively hitting with 1700 attack. Its the funniest thing and i love it
Your video is so good I didn’t even realize it was nearly an hour long. You’re an incredible youtuber!
Been binging your videos all day whilst playing through an Emerald Nuzlocke. Looks like you decided to bless me with another video to grind to
I'll be honest in saying that the main reason why I can get past these cutscenes and still love this game is because PMD was my childhood and trained me to make it through cutscenes.
Although the cutscene can get annoying, I absolutely love this game, and it’s my personal favorite.
Never played The Ultras, but definitely looking forward to a Flygon Nuzlocke
If that isn’t USUM I don’t know what is. This optional boss Butterfree has literally PERFECT optimized stats, like fit for competitive professional play… and it only knows 2 moves.
What an amazing run, full of twists and turns and even got to learn a few things, this was by far my favorite video you've made, really enjoyed this playthrough! GG on beating the nuzlocke, thanks again for a great video
I was honestly looking forward to you wiping at Ultra Necrozma, but I severely underestimated how well you'd prepare for this run! Well done HG!
I didn't watch the ending to this for as long as I could (I think you started streaming it in June?), believing that you would eventually upload this to YT. Today I finally decided 'Oh well he's not going to ever upload it so might as well watch it' and right now I'm kicking myself in the shin for spoiling the ending for myself.
Great video. Well played and fun that the finale was deathless.
I just binged through your entire nuzlocke series and this came out just in time! Keep it up!
finally finished these games and now i get to watch your videos on them cause i didnt want spoilers. extra excited cause this is by far the hardest pokemon game i ever played.
the zoruark cheese was real on some of these battles though.
39:53 "It would've been pretty embarrassing if our electric type got knocked out by a water type." I predict that magnezone is going to die to a water type.
edit: lol
oh haha i didn’t notice that
I like that he points out the cut scenes. I never finished playing Sun/Moon because of the cut scenes. The gameplay to me was not good enough to compensate for the amount of cut scenes.
I started watching you for the Pokemon, I come back every time for the comedy. You're a funny guy, keep it up man!
Loved it! Your Nuzlockes are my absolute favorite on CZcams
"I believe the scientific term for this is that I am f****d." I lost it there. This is gonna be a great video!
This games pretty hard to nuzlocke, I’m excited to see how this turns out!
Also what document is that at 0:44? Might need that if I try this game
2:56 him saying that he's always wanted meowth pov reminded me of the meowth's party copypasta. It was about a guy who saw the spaceworld demo of meowth's party and became obsessed with it.
I really enjoy that you don't sound like a sports commentator like a lot of other CZcamsrs. Your voice is much less exhausting to listen to, which is nice for videos as long as these.
I've never thought that flygonhg would mention chaotic meatball in one of his vids
I can’t believe you went through that cutscene torture for us. I liked these games because of the difficulty (which was missing in the previous generation) but absolutely HATED it because of the cutscene every single second. And the annoying part was that half the time it was your rival who just wanted to explain basic buildings/places to us. As if we can’t explore things on our own. These are the only Pokemon games I’ve only played once, and for good reason
Great video! I had no idea about the ability capsule so it was very smart utilizing it. Very impressive run especially with this being your first playthrough of the game!
I dont know why, but pokemon ultra sun and ultra moon are criminally underrated, and are my favourites in the pokemon series
ive never played usum for the same reason that i didnt enjoy sun/moon that much. so this video is my first time watching the game ever, and its probably the best way i couldve experienced it lol, amazing video as always :)
Then you missed Team Rainbow Rocket episode, which is probably one of the most fun post game stories in the series.
thank you for posting this video flygon
Been following for a while I love your voice definitely helps me fall asleep late at night :)
Really enjoyed the video! Very cool to see all those highly strategic battles.
Interestingly, Lusamine is basically the only lategame trainer with beginning-game trainer AI. I think it's probably supposed to represent that she's gone off the deep end?
Anyway, I always enjoy the content, and always glad to see another USM run! Aside from the slow earlygame, they're pretty much what my ideal Pokemon games look like: Hard, but fair with tons of Pokemon variety, and just the right level of campiness of characters in Gladion, Hau, and other minor characters.
You just made your first playthrough of a Pokemon game a nuzlocke?
I would never do that because I don't hate myself.
I finished a blind nuzlocke of this and I must say, it was my favourite and most engaging playthrough of any game. Well done, FlygonHG😁
I appreciate when people bend the rules on plays like this. You don’t have to be so strict and uptight for us to enjoy watching your runs
You know it's gonna be a good day when Flygon posts
I'm surprised to see Carbink putting in this much work!
Discovered you when you had about 30k subs. I like how you upload every Saturday. I have to grocery for the house every Saturday and it makes going all over town looking for household items much more enjoyable. Thank you!
This was fun as hell. Thanks for doing this. Other than the cutscenes I enjoyed Ultra Sun quite a lot becausd of the variery of Pokemon and things to do. It was my first Pokemon game since gen 4 and I had a blast. Edit: I must mention I sped up the cutscenes with the emulator, otherwise the game would have made me go crazy.
sun and moon and ultra's be like: cutscene every 10 seconds
Out of all my subbed channels, your videos might just be the ones with the highest chance to make me drop everything im doing to sit and watch in their entirety.
I love your runs because they show you can use unconventional Pokémon to overcome massive challenges. A lot of lets players and Nuzlockers just want to have a team full of OP pseudo legendaries and brute force the game, which often leads to wipes.
ggs on the nuzloke! This is the only game I haven’t nuzloked yet cuz its scary ngl. Love to see you upload!
as a survivor of gen 8 pre dlc ou, i can assure you that clefable is the most evil mon in the known universe
