    Maybe for a future run you could do B/W but only with Pokemon N uses? Encounters would be Purrloin, Pidove, Timburr, Tympole, Sandile, Scraggy, Darumaka, Sigilyph, Boldore, Ferroseed, Joltik, Klinklang plus both fossils, vanilluxe and zoroark. For an extra challenge, you could restrict evolutions to what N uses eg. cannot use a Liepard since he only uses a Purrloin. The nice variety of mons could make for a really interesting and hopefully challenging run! Regardless of what you hope to do next, love the content and I wish good luck on future runs!

      N only uses wild pokemon found in the nearby area, including their levels, except for his final fight, so I think just taking his final team would be a bit more fair, but a Challenge where you have to completely change your team before each gym and use fresh pokémon from the wild is cooler.

    Never thought to use three weather setters in a team. I was actually planning to make a sun team when I was going to play Ultra Sun, but I think I'm going to also make it a bit of a sand team too.

    Hey Flygon! I love your videos for a variety of reasons, but one of the biggest is that they inspired me to run challenge runs myself! That being said, I have an idea for a difficult nuzlocke. That being grass-type only Platinum run. You get 7 Pokémon, and with most of them being slower with some bulk, it’s hard to sweep and you have to do a lot of strategizing. It’s fun, but difficult even under non-nuzlocke rules, so I think it’d make for an entertaining run. Thanks for everything man!

    As someone who has seen all the videos on this channel, turn on the vods to unwind before bed, and tune into the streams every so often I would really appreciate stream highlights videos! I'm not sure if it needs to be its own channel or if you upload them as a mid week video on the main channel/ vods channel.

    Describe the pokemon fanbase in 1 sentence:
    "Despite the non stop complains leading up to their release, they turned out to be pretty good sellers".
    How do people expect better things? If we continue to buy 💩 they are not going to produce nothing better than 💩.
    Edit: Reading my comment it sounds really bitter. So let's balance. This game has pretty good things. Underground and better movesets for bosses. Ilca did a nice job for their... Was it first time? And if they listen to the feedback I would even trust them for the gen 5 remakes. Legend Arceus is next, those empty fields seem fun to run on, so let's see.

      Doing a relatively blind nuzlocke has been fun. The pokemon encounters are the same, but pokemon surprise me with their new movesets. Also, not having the level rule while also not knowing the gym leaders' levels creates a sense of tension before battles.
