Purrloin walks on two legs because it's literally fooling you by sitting on all fours like a cat before it steals from you lmao it only acts cute to get close to you before becoming a thief before running away laughing on two legs
@@genericmalachi824 I suppose I should've said "doesn't mean we can't complain about it" instead, but all the same, I wasn't really being serious with my original comment anyway 🤷
@@TheForeignGamer my bad, man i didn't think of it like that and probably should've been less sarcastic in my response I think it's neat, but it's definitely odd enough to the point where I can see why people complain
As Skyla sends out her final Pokémon, she says: “Never give up! To do so is an insult to the Pokémon that fight for you!” That fits very well with what you said before challenging her!
purrloin was, in fact, always intended to be bipedal, even in the gen 5 anime. its whole thing is that it pretends to be a cute normal cat like a skitty and then it steals your stuff with its hands and then runs off with its two legs liepard can also stand on two legs
Considering my friends and I are still "debating" what Setsuna's and Yukimura's hair color from Fire Emblem Fates is, this feels like another thing to "debate" about now XD
@@monochromegreyson My friend says Yukimura's more of a blue than teal and says Setsuna's more teal than green I think Setsuna's hair is closer to being just green than teal and Yukimura being the one with the teal hair color than her but I'm in the minority in the friend group XD
I get why he chose to risk TJ at the end (better story for the video) but it’s kinda funny hearing him eulogize not getting TJ to the Hall of Fame when he could’ve sacked Drifblim to get the clean swap to Mienshao. Either way, great video as always, love Flygon’s ability to create a compelling story using these silly children’s games
I would've loved to see the sac on driftblim cause it had the aftermath ability and that would've been the one time the ability is useful in a nuzlocke, but then send out TJ with the fake out/seed bomb combo.
@@tjtea2000 aftermath only procks on physical moves, so it *still* would be useless, but shadow ball still does good damage, maybe even enough for fake out + seed bomb
There are over 8,000 varieties of grapes, which can be categorized into three groups: table grapes, wine grapes, and raisin grapes. Table grapes are usually larger, seedless, and have thinner skins, making them good for snacking and cooking. Wine grapes are smaller, have thicker skins, and contain seeds. Raisin grapes are grown specifically for drying into raisins.
no genuinely i am so happy to be seeing this so soon after it posted, im studying abroad in europe rn and it’s honestly been so hard on my mental health and a good ol’ flygon video can always buoy me and make me feel so much better 💗
The motivation to just push through and continue around the half way point reminds me of the old fighting Nuzlocke in... I think it was Emerald? Where a Medicham nearly beat the entire game solo. Loved that. Also the fact all Purrloins get named after the Mad Titan and his pet cat from the Dark Type locke always brings me joy. Rest in peace TJ 1-3!
This was a great run! You’ve learned how to get so much utility out of the Purrloin line and it always impresses me, especially given BW/2’s brutal early (in a challenge like this, at least) and midgame. Elesa into Clay has got to be one of the toughest trainer duologies in the series.
I’ve watched basically every one of your nuzlocke vids and it’s crazy how after all these years I stay just as entertained with each one. Nice work, sir/doctor.
Funny thing is I rewatched the dark type videos this week, and they totally do! I love where youve taken your energy levels and narative in you voice overs this year, but sometimes I just go back to those old videos when I need to mellow out.
today i learned that the plural for thanos is thani. thanks, flygon hg! in all seriousness this was another great video, i love ur scriptwriting and storytelling sm!
Love the smell of a new Flygon video in the morning I have an 11 hour shift today so between this, the highlight R&B video posted yesterday, and Wolfeys "Best Dragon Type" video I might actually make it through 😂
@@jfreemandrums I've noticed that a few times- lower *their* accuracy 6 times, and it's sometimes like it was hardly lowered. But if *yours* gets lowered 6 times, you'll never hit a move again
Here's a fun idea: try an item nuzlocke, where if a pokemon dies holding an item, you must release the pokemon while the item is still being held by them, removing the item from existence too. Pokemon dies holding leftovers or rocky helmet, too bad you can't use those anymore. And if a pokemon dies in a battle where it had oran or sitrus berries at the start of the battle, you can't use those berries throughout the remainder of the playthrough.
Me before watching: yippee purrloin :D I'm so happy to see my favorite pokemon get some love by being the center focus of the thumbnail! Me at 0:30 : 😔
After following you since your third video I was bummed when your past few didn’t really grab me the way they have for years, but this video was hands down my favorite you have ever done. gameplay wise it’s without question the best and the entire time your narration added so much to it 10/10
27:10 I'm pretty sure Mantine is "Purple" because it was more of a purple-osh color back in General 2, when it was introduced. And I guess they just don't like changing classifications like that
Thank you for doing what you do. It has got me to start doing nuzlockes. I've learned a lot from watching you. It has made me look at the games in all new ways.
Realized i hadn't looked up the origin of "curiousity killed the cat" in like 20 years and there's probably more info about it now. It has a whole wikipedia page lmao
nice job w the nuzlocke! i streamed a casual color locked black 2 with purple as the color earlier this year/last year. learning mantine was purple and not venipede was so sad, but overall it was a fun time for a first play through b2. thanks for the video, always love seeing your stuff.
As you were talking about how The Groke just needs to win the speed tie I was shouting at my screen "You also need to hit Dragon Rush! Just use Rock Slide!"
So funny thing I believe The Groke was guaranteed to outspeed, since it was level 55 being transformed, vs a lv 52 Hydreigon. At least, I believe that’s how level changes with Ditto works.
Omg it’s been so long since you’ve done a colour coded nuzlocke, and I’ve recently actually started by own nuzlocke in pokemon X with purple pokemon… another great video as always!
If I had a nickel for every time flygon had to beat the first gym with nothing but a purloin, I'd probably have 3 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but strange it happened thrice
Anyone else want to play a drinking game where you have to drink every time FlygonHG says, in any of his videos, "slicing through them like a perfectly -cooked fish filet?"
I love how I tried to Nuzlocke this game with a typical team and struggled. This man rolls in with the color purple and a dream and does it. Unreal. Good luck with Run and Bun.
FlygonHG: The good news is that in pokémon black 2 I can immediately find one in the very first route of the game Me: Oh no... FlygonHG: The bad news is that it's a Purrloin Me: OH NO *War flashbacks*
Fun video! A little surprised you didn't dip into Celestial Tower for Litwick into Chandelure, since it's kinda the best purple Pokemon I could think of, but narratively it was fun to see you duo Skyla with that self-imposed restriction anyway.

It’s funny how much of an expert you’re becoming at handling the first gym in B2/W2 with just a Purrloin

Crazy how Mantine being classified as purple is more puzzling than your qualifications for being a horse in the previous Locke 😂😂 I love these videos
Mantine being purple helped a lot during my purple-locke in Heart Gold. Being a special wall .

You know, im gonna say it. The back sprite of mantine is definitely purple. Fight me.
r.i.p. the groke, the almost gran the unown d who almost owned a villain
The epic highs and lows of THIS FUCKING NUZLOCKE!! I stopped stimming and just watched the story unfold. I think you had me held hostage for this one.
This feels like another excuse of a video for Flygon HG to use purloin
