He kinda zoomed through this. Pretty fast time compared to most! 😎
Yo its smallant
Yo it's Bigbeetle
Yo its tiny moth
Bruh i didn't want to start a chain but ended up accidentaly doing just that
yo it's medium bug
“Sir, this is a thumbnail.” Cracked me up way more than it should have 😂
Agreed
My dumbass went back and watched the entire sponsor segment since that was the only part I skipped…
When was this? Please leave a time stamp for the rest of us when you quote stuff so some of us don't get obsessed with finding the reference and ruining the watching experience for ourselves 😭😞😭
Aaaaaand it's in the literal thumbnail... Also case in point, check out the other person's comment in this thread.
@NinjaAdorable no timestamp for it! It’s just quite literally in the thumbnail itself of the video
Escape rooms which are painfully obvious in hindsight are the best and worst of their kind

The effort Matti puts into each video is one of the main reasons he is of the 3 poketubers i still watch as an adult. Thanks for another banger

Only 3? Now I'm interested, continue...

I love that SmallAnt harkened back to Gen 3 and used braille for this. It was such an interesting aspect of R/S/E that wasn’t talked about much, but it’s awesome that he utilized it more for this escape room.
after being forced to recall the braille when i was playing pokemon reborn i decided that i hope it never comes back
It still confuses me that a game uses braille which requires your sight to be able to read, entirely negating the entire point of Braille...
@@dannygmanWell it kind of makes sense since they wanted it to be something that would be an actual mystery/puzzle to the player.
Braille is a well-made, easy to understand alphabet that most players won't know, since as you mentioned you need to be able to see to play the game, and it fits with their visual design (which I'd wager came first).
All in all it's a pretty good way to choose a cipher without having to make up your own for a few short puzzles.
@dannygman it makes for a good cypher since people with the eye sight necessary to play the game are very unlikely to know braille.
And the fact that the whole braille alphabet (plus some special characters) is laid out in the first puzzle chamber in the proper games makes it possible for very smart players to guess that it is the alphabet and use that to decode actual hints (ignoring the special characters, because there's no way of knowing their order) without using external resources.
It's an easy way to make a self-contained puzzle.
(which SmallAnts escape room is not quite, because it doesn't include any information to decipher braille)
@@LRM12o8 There's not even a need to guess at the alphabet, there just was a braille alphabet in the manual that games came with back then. But it's also a nice nod to the design of the Regis, since their eyes are also dots in certain arrangements.
A full rom hack of puzzles using pokemon mechanics would be so interesting I'd probably get mad and give up an hour in but it would be fun to see someone smarter than me do it lol
there was one, i don't remember the name but it was in fire red and you get in like virtual reality or some shit and solve problems there with pokémon mechanics, i'll see if i can find it
@@glaxyl it's pokemon vr missions i think !
@@sofrik9715 i'm pretty sure it's that, thank you
FlygonHG is one of the realest thumbnail creators out there
feels a lot more human idk
it took me a solid 2-3 minutes to realize the dog was a picture or green screen or something. i was like how is that dog sitting so still is it dead lmao
The award show segment is easily my favorite bit you've done in a while. It's so good
Cool escape room, I'd definitely have missed the braille clues, kod muk before getting the moon stone, traded togepi away early and I wouldn't have realised covet is a thing
Flygon's entire personality is his doctorate and I'm all here for it
Not true, I also have a dog
That too, can't believe I forgot
His name is dr. Flygon
@@justamicrowave5297 excuse me, can't believe I forgot that too
FlygonHG? More like FlygonPHD
Was not expecting that Kenobi show rant. The escape room part alone was great (despite having watched the other video about it that SmallAnt put out), but that mini rant was icing on the cake. Take my like, good sir.
I like how Poppy is just sitting there the entire stream
love how everyone in the other video I've seen totally didn't notice you were supposed to get strength from the twins
flygonhg did actually read the dialogue and clued in on strength and somehow still failed to realize lmao
Getting the strength HM by that method was by no means obvious! I had to sit through the entire “No shit, Sherlock” awards show, still having absolutely no idea how the heck a Wobbuffet was gonna suddenly learn thief or something.
yeah leveling movesets are often overlooked in escape rooms
“After healing though” never thought I’d hear FlygonHG say this
Does anyone else love the irony of having a solely visual braille puzzle?
Still have no idea what they were thinking. This makes no sense without the manual. As a kid I had a hunch, that this was braille, but didn't bother to research it further, because it would defeat the purpose of braille
@@solidzack yea i remember getting on the family computer to look up the braille alphabet.
“And the winner is…” *ad immediately plays* was completely coincidental really good comedic timing
Small ant did a great job, this looks super fun
So unhinged to use the clip of Smant sharpening pencils as your cutaway lol
FlygonHG, your bits are getting better and better, I love it!
“After all, you’re a cowboy like me” Love all the taylor references, Flygon
I was gonna say Evermore hype
I've watched the solution to this several times now and I'm still not sure I could actually do it
Flygon getting caught eating the Japanese snacks in the dark really got me 😂
Same! What a king
The stupid awards bit killed me 😭
Congrats on winning an NSS award! Definitely a career milestone
This was so fun! Love seeing people who are better at games than me use their knowledge. Would love to see similar big brain content!
Choosing the Route 111 (desert) as the music for the escape room was smart, its quirky vibes just fit the context
The self insert skit was pretty good. Quality entertainment I dare say.
I'm kinda sad that I already know the strats from the other video of smallant, but I just hope that Noone in the chat could bsg with the answers. It still was pretty cool to see that you seem to look at the hall way faster than the others and also saw the hidden braille-text pretty fast :D
Great job, flygon! :D
Thumbails have become a parody of themselves, and i love it.
love the thumbnail lmao
This is just a reply.
Escape rooms are epic. Break it wide open, Dr. HG.
I really hope you don't change that thumbnail because it's so good lmao
I hope I see evil GarchompHG today

@@roguerocket99 BEANS
aw man
love the challenge and the tay references!
Absolutely lost it at the kenobi show and marvel bits, absolutely true and really added to the “youtuber’s mind slowly unravels as he beats his head against a metaphorical wall” vibes
But really I’m impressed you solved it at all I would have NEVER gotten out of it
11/10 thumbnail
glad to see you getting recognition from big creators like smallant hell yeah love both you guys
*Glad to see FlygonHG giving recognition to small creators like smallant
😂😂😅
Already seen this on Small ants channel, Alpharad finished the first half easily on accident. Then proceeded not to know what to do long enough for everyone else to catch up
Can I just say, the jokes in this video are top tier, even in the sponsor clip. 😂
Without struggle there is no progress. …this video was amazing
Thrilled that you’ve done a run with this!!
You know what, I'm subscribing just because you used the word Sisyphean in a sentence in a technically correct manner. It's an underrated word.
This was super entertaining to watch!! Had me thinking along with you.
Please make more guess Pokémon in 1 minute videos. Love them so much
10/10 thumbnail 😂😂😂
I find it very strange yet very interesting that a Pokémon related video taught me that FlygonHG is a Star Wars fan. The internet is a very mysterious place.
These little bits and skits are amazing 👏
Poppy why aren’t you moving??? Blink twice if you’re being held hostage
FLYGONHG POKEMON ESCAPE ROOM CONTENT LETS GOOOOOO
I admit Kenobi could’ve been better but I don’t see how Obi-Wan encountering Vader between Episode III and IV is anymore of a contradiction than “your father wanted you to have this lightsaber”, “I don’t recall ever owning a droid” or “When I left you I was but the leader” (implying Anakin hadn’t reached Knighthood when he turned)
Also Obi-Wan and Leia meeting I’ll admit stretches things, but doenst outright contradict anything. If anything it explains how Leia knows who Luke is taking about when he says he’s with “Ben Kenobi” and why Leia would name her son “Ben”
Man, Disney Star Wars fans will defend anything.
@@Xeno_Solarus not true. I hated TROS and Boba Fett and found Ahsoka and Bad Batch boring
The dog in the right corner was tripping me out until I realized it‘s edited in 😂
I absolutely love all the evermore references
ngl this looked trickier than his later SmallAnt escape room video
2:23 Damn bro look at those flowers go
Thanks to this video, I just learned Smallant’s shoot name is Tanner
Poppy in the background staring at Flygon's soul💀
hey, that's 2 and a half hours quicker than I would've done it
So, what was it with that "no time consuming stuff" thing again? Braille? Ah okay xD
That was so smart! Love the design, what a great challenge!
Oh brother the immediate hof peek was wild
hof peek???
@@clawtooth35Hall Of Fame
Dr.OneballHG uploads again!!!
A+ Thumbnail
Anyone got a score board of the times everyone has taken to beat this escape room?
A flygonhg video without a square space ad has the world gone mad!?!?
Casual PHD flex nbd! I love finding out my nerdy friends are casual geniuses. Long time friend just became a rocket scientist under my nose! What was your thesis about if i may ask?
The tangent about obi wan was very necessary to this video..haha great vid!
i feel like it's kinda funny to put braille in pokemon, like what blind person is ever gonna read that
More of this would be awesome
I really am glad that your videos pop up in my recommendation feed way back when. thank you TH-cam algorithm
Swear I saw this a few weeks ago...
Im certain that my braincells will end up in that state after my phd too
Smallant is one of the craziest poketubers.
Yo! I knew Flygon had a doctorate but is he actually BME? This man must be smart.
I rarely comment, but this was a super original and really funny video to watch. Keep it up!
4:08 I was not expecting the random taylor swift reference 💀
He should have made it more clear that the Braille is only meant as hints for when you are lost. Deciphering Braille shouldn't be a requirement to beat an escape room.
Why not? Deciphering braille really isn't that hard. Children did it in RSE.
I really appreciate the dedication to the jokes
What a nice thumbnail!
This video was the antithesis of "There was an attempt."
NOT THE PENCIL SHARPENING
the modders/fans at this point should retire entire game freak staff
That thumbnail is golden 😂
Hahaha, hahah, “what do I do”
What the dawg doin on the right
SPOILERS FOR THIS VIDEO AND SMANTS OTHER VIDEO! GO WATCH BOTH!!!
So how did mister Flygon do compared to the others?
Asteroid: over 4 hours
Alpha: 2:27
Jan: just under 2 hours
Overall, Dr Flygon got third place by a couple of minutes
The biggest shock to me in this video was that this man has a PhD
That riff about Obi-wan was spot on, haha. Hope this challenge was more fun to relive in video form - I’m sure going through it live was as you said a…performance. Great stuff!
This kinda reminds me of this romhack called Pokemon Firered VR missions,
Had you not got boged down with the sketch strat an had to restart multibke times i think youd have set a decnt time
I'm not going to argue with 11:00 lol
this is a really fun idea
Another evermore (Taylor swift reference) at 4:07. I’m giggling so much.
Hey was wondering if you’d take a request for a specific run of paldea. I call it the seven deadly sin run the team is Gluttony - Snorlax
Sloth - Slaking
Wrath - Annihilape
Greed - Gimmighoul
Envy - Mimikyu
Pride - Tyranitar
Lust - Salazzle
11:01 now thats what we're talking about
I love this. Also hi from the ad segment. Making sure to watch it for you!
Grats on winning the award!
Every word you said about the Kenobi show was 100% right.
Braille? What happened to nothing pointlessly time consuming?
