If it makes you feel better, I'm sure to this day, Cynthia stands undefeated in her champion room, still thinking about how that one kid somehow managed to make it all the way to her using only two pokemon that were both fire types.
Infernape is actually pretty beast though more like just a bidoof, magikarp, any baby Pokémon, sunkern, feebas there’s much worse for the champion to have.
I understand the soul crushing feeling of being so close and having such a solid strategy only to have an RNG moment like that, but honestly, how many people would be able to almost beat an entire Pokémon Game with only two Pokémon used the entire time and not dying once? This was still so incredible to watch and I honestly didn’t think you would make it to the final battle with just the two. Kudos to ya.
@@federicopellicori3780 and he's been streaming on twitch for only like 3 weeks and has almost 300 subs and up to a 500 viewer count like I think he's doing more than fine lol
He may have failed, but he's impressive. I would be weeping in any of those battles, with such pression and stress. Also, he even retried it 4 times, and every loss has to be devastating, so he gets my respect for that.
This channel is so good. It's one of the only Pokemon challenges channels that actually keeps things challenging. The others too often just do "Can you win the game with [insert single Pokemon]", where the solution every time is basically just massive overlevelling. But you actually put in the work to devise really original, impressive strategies.
Check out Jrose11 Channel too, I actually hate challenges where the only solution the host make is leveling up, don't even care to do EVs, fly to TMs and etc.
Top tier content right here. This truly feels like what I always wanted out of a Pokémon challenge video. The strategy, determination, and perseverance you put into this is impressive to say the least. The humility expressed at the end even more so. Love the uncertainty in the battles despite your best efforts. It certainly keeps Pokemon, and the videos, exciting!
I've played a lot of nuzlocke challenges on my own time and a lot of the time, everytime I make a mistake I usually go "oh that one didn't count" and move on. But like your videos really inspire me to try new things and strategies with my approach to nuzlocks I haven't thought of before. I'll be watching your channel from now on bro.
Would personally love to see PC react to this run, he instantly came to mind as someone who would deeply appreciate the number crunching you put into this
This was really fun to follow along on twitch and see all the planning and strategies involved in this run. Spiritomb may have ended the challenge so close to the finish line but this was still a victory in my eyes.
Incredible content! I appreciated the comment about the increased difficulty playing around "Dumb AI". I recently tried a Sorta-Nuzlocke in Pokemon XD and the seemingly-random AI in double battles was incredibly frustrating. It basically eliminates the viability of reliably pivoting.
I’ve just binged most of your videos and they’re SO refreshing from the majority of hardcore nuzlockes. and your commentary is amazing, please!! keep it up!
The Spiritomb being absolutely soul crushing feels semi-thematic considering the lore behind it. I also want some of Cynthia's steroids though, it would make things much easier. Well played sir, well played
Well infernape is considerably stronger than monferno so in tough battles like the water gym I don't think monfero could defeat it. plus waiting for lvl 46 for a single healing move with a very vulnerable monferno is risky imo
I know I'm commenting on a video that's over a year old but love your content Flygon and your ad for Surfshark was truly the best sponsored speech I've ever heard
The fact you even took this on is insane man, I don't understand how you keep 1 upping yourself on challenges and content each video! Brilliant run man, much love
I'm so happy the algorithm has actually worked for once in my life!! 11 years on TH-cam and this channel is the first one I've ever been recommended and I'm so happy it did. You're fantastic Flygon!!
I've been binging your videos the past few days but the comment about Infernape not being an ape but a monkey because of its tail sent me over the edge and made me subscribe. Your sense of humor is incredible
Did a casual mono bug run of White myself. It was really fun. This generation seriously has a lot of cool bugs. Marshal was a nightmare though because of Stone Edge.
Honestly kinda love the part of HGs voiceovers where I can’t trust what he’s saying, he started talking about how Fantina’s pokemon went down to 2 more flame wheels before it happened and he’s got me sitting here waiting for it to just miss a kill and Infernape to be 1shot
Flint Explained: - Drifblim = Blimp/Hot Air Balloon 🔥 - Lopunny = Playboy Mansion Bunny (something western society deems to be an example of the colloquialism, “hot”) 🔥 - Steelix = Steel/stone conglomerate flint from the ground to ignite 🔥 They’re all related to “heat/hot” categories.
Btw, Rotom-heat is actually an Electric/Ghost type in Gen 4, from Gen 5 onward they changed it’s ghost typing to fire typing, the same happening to the other forms.
Just know that I agree with you, and I can live with you cutting down time on the boring grindy parts to not only actually enjoy playing the game and making the videos, but also so you can keep your channel flowing and alive. Keep up the great work!
God, that dialga fight had me sitting on the edge of my sEAT!!! The amount of preparation and risks you had to take into account to slap a Time God was insane. Kudos! Also, this was a really cool and interesting run to the end. Awesome go and you did a rad job!
I felt genuinely happy when the sponsor showed because you are my favorite TH-camr and it fills me with joy to see you grow. Also, I send you a hug for that ending, you proved a nuzlocke is possible and that's all that matters ❤️
I like how he sometimes bluffs about certain stuff which can catch us by surprise when he later mentions it, an example was when he lost his first rival battle to a critical hit.
I love how hard these challenges are, and how much effort you put into them. It makes them hella interesting. Keep up the work! Honestly one of my favorite pokemon content on the platform
MY GOAT! I am so glad you decided not to do all that grinding and resetting for those items. The whole time you were describing that I was thinking just cheat your money in for the love of everything.
The drama and suspense of these videos is better than a lot of HBO series. It is incredible how much effort you're putting in to make this content! Keep up the amazing work.
Really bringing the nostalgia for these games back for me. Gonna have to attempt a nuzlocke myself, ive never done it but it seems like a fun way to re-experience the game
I appreciate seeing the loss. Its honestly more interesting than seeing you get lucky and crit your way through. Only thing I'd say, is reset for a starter with decent enough IV's for the run you'll put it through. Maybe just cap it to like 10 resets so your stream doesnt get bored.
After rewatching, I've come to the conclusion that this has to be the most legendary nuzlocke challenge video on all of youtube. The insanity of the challenge itself, turning a meme challenge into a reality, the crazy strats along the way, the brutal RNG at the end, all presented to the viewer via top-notch story-telling. This is why we watch your videos, Flygon.
see, this is why i love living alone. when I saw this was out, i got to say "YOOOOOOOO" out loud without any weird looks also: "sometimes the first gym leader is a complete brick wall to what seems like an otherwise doable challenge" - I feel that lol. I recently started a monolocke of dark types in x. I figured massive regional dex and ofc dark-type starter make it pretty chill. and it IS pretty chill... except for the fact that you have no other teammates besides froakie and no access to any useful TMs or strong moves to sweep viola's surskit and masquerain lmao. i ended up cheating the HC level cap rule there so I could actually do the run, cus I thought it'd be a lot of fun overall (and I was right, easily my most memorable plagthrough of xy yet!)
This is possibly my new favorite pokemon challenge video. My favorite part of challenges is to see out-of-the-box strategies that are both creative and also not something you'd normally see, and this run was perfect for that. Strongk monke and pointy cow are champions in my heart.
In my heart, you're a champion at the end of that last run. I hope some day to see a redux of this and see you succeed like you deserve! Great video~ As a note regarding Captivate, it also requires Cow to be male. This strat is completely pointless if Cow were female this run instead. So I agree Captivate is very useful in a sense, but also too dependent on a factor you can't control either, that being the gender of the Pokemon you first encounter. and at 50/50 gender ratio, it's a literal coin flip, also barring in mind everything else prior to Cynthia goes the exact same way without a hitch. Overall, it's probably the toughest run out there to pull off.
We're talking about a company who made TWO Dragon-type specialists in a game with only four total Dragon-type Pokémon, three of which are the same evo line
Even if you lost at the very end for having been insanely unlucky, you sure are worthy of merit for having reached Cynthia under so tough conditions. Congratulations! Please, keep uploading so amazing videos of your nuzlockes! :D
mad respect my guy this was so much fun to watch. I yelled no when that crit hit monkey and wow it was amazing watching you get to cynthia. this was so entertaining you really are amazing for even trying it.
