love the two interpretations that can come from this, either one can assume the position of champion by killing the current reigning champion or they just really want to kill Leon completely unrelated to getting back their farm. either way, I think rabbits should be allowed to do murder. just once.
The original nuzlocke was completely story-based, but I feel like a lot of poketubers have forgotten/streamlined it to just a challenge - a lot of times the deaths in runs don't feel impactful, which was the original point! So i LOVE seeing you add a lot of story elements. I love the lore, and when Flopsy and Mopsy passed i felt the sadness of their siblings and rooted for the win even more. And seeing Peter and Cottontail have their own families at the end is bittersweet. Absolutely please continue to add narratives!
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 There's a great finished written one called Dear Diary, which was a darker Black nuzlocke run. I wish the creator for Nuzlocke on Ice didn't die, that was great.
Yeah, I've noticed a lot of TH-camrs who do it don't really have a storyline to it and I really like the typelocke idea with them kind of modeling themselves off of being a gym leader and then they grow so much that they become the Elite Four champion. Like their passion for bug or water Pokemon just got him so far that now they're the ruler of the Elite Four that is a cool idea.
It reminds me of Marriland's nuzlockes from back when he was still focused on YT. His nuzlockes gave the Pokemon so much character and actual story arcs through his worldbuilding, and it really helped me appreciate species I had turned a blind eye towards before. (If you remember Carrot the Raticate, you're a real one 😿😿) Flopsy's death had me holding back tears bc it really felt like a Marriland nuzlocke death - he tried so hard, but in the end he just couldn't bear the loss of his twin 😭😭😭😭
Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the stories you tell with your runs and I totally support you doing it more. As much as I love absurdly specific and challenging nuzlockes, they often come at the cost of the emotional attachment and sense of narrative that made the original comic so beloved. TLDR; love what you bring to the community Flygon. Perfect blend of challenge and fun. At least one youtube commenter fully supports this direction.
The story aspect of this was incredible. It really adds a lot of flavor and impact to what happened in the game. Having that extra bit is really indicative of the care and effort you put into these videos, just like the Stone Family correspondence. As much as I love to see it, please don't let any future challenges suffer because you feel like you didn't have a good narrative reason for them. It's icing on a delicious cake.
Damn you, this one actually had me in tears. This is why I love your Nuzlockes; you actually manage to turn them into story arcs so each one feels unique beyond the different game and restrictions.
@@TheMountyPresents Whismur and Wigglytuff yes. The nidos are as much a true bunny as prehistoric sloths that could shred cave bears are “sloths”. Kinda defeats the spirit of what we call a bunny.
The strong narrative is always a selling point for the FlygonHG nuzlockes, so I'm all in for going ham with it on themed runs. Making the pokemon a family on an adventure certainly gives it an extra hmph, especially considering you keep the same party for the whole journey. Another banger
I never thought I’d see Historic Landmark Designation be the plot of a pokemon video- but what do you know? As a historic preservationist myself, I appreciate you writing that part in presumably only for me 1:15
I love how creative your challenges are. Also I'm watching all your videos from the beginning and the production quality is SO much better now. Omg operation Save The Farm what this is perfect
When I saw the rabbits being introduced as a family in the beginning of the video, I KNEW it would be sad at some point. Never did I think I'd shed a tear watching a nuzlocke video, but here I am.
I've never been so emotionally affected by a nuzlocke video before. The story, the Pokémon, just... everything. This was such a whirlwind of a journey.
I am appalled at how unrealistic that ending is. There should be at least ten kits per bunny there, not nearly enough breeding. In all seriousness, I love the story elements, and I hope you keep doing them. =)
As someone who always adds new story elements to my challenge runs just for fun, it's great to see you do that here! After so many playthroughs you start to lose attachment to the Pokemon you've used. Adding a unique spin of story for them really makes them more memorable. RIP Flopsy and Mopsy
I absolutely LOVE this narrated sort of nuzlocke I hope you'll do more of these in the future !! Also RIP flopsy and mopsy😔 you will surely be missed thanks to you Peter and cottontail were able to save the farm and proceeded to have families of their own, you are the true heroes❤️
Absolutely love the nuzlocke with narrative story! It's sad that they have to lost the twins to Leon. But it also cute when there are two Azurills and a Scorbunny in the ending part. I hope they live happily in their farm.
I love the narrative vibe; it made me on the edge of my seat for the champion battle! Plus it lets you add more flair and your signature humor into it, which is always a win. Your narration is easily what brings me so much joy about your videos, and now I'm extra excited to see what you have in store for that run you mentioned having worked on for a while. Keep being amazing, Dr HG! The rabbit siblings will be remembered.
rabbits are my favourite animals, so I clicked on this so damn quickly. I had hoped that you'd do more of these [insert species/category of animal here] only runs, but I didn't think you'd do one of rabbits already. Perfect way to kick off the new year ;)
I was so enthralled in this challenge! This last two challenges you have really nailed it with the narrative, this specially, and the deaths of Flopsy and Mopsy had me tearing up. Thank you, this was refreshing and beautiful.
The storytelling is top notch, I felt so bad during that final fight. And the building of suspense had me stressed during a couple of parts! Wonderful job
honestly super excited for more "lore" based videos! i think one of the biggest reasons why this is my favorite nuzlocke channel/your twitch streams are always so fun is because you're just insanely creative and funny on top of being good at pokemon (the daddy stone arc never fails to make me laugh). i think this video is definitely one of my favorites in the flygon cinematic universe for sure
really like the story building thing u did in this video makes for a nice change of pace in the "repetitive" nuzlocke runs we see everywhere keep up the good work im always happy to see a new video of u being uploaded
One of the reasons you're my favourite Nuzlocker is because of how much personality you give your Pokemon. It makes it so much more fun to watch. Your dry humor is also great. Thanks for the content!
I love these new nuzlockes you've been putting out recently. Not only do they deviate from the standard monotype challenges, but they actually have a legit story line that is quite compelling. Keep these amazing videos coming Dr. HG!
The whole point of Pokémon's original story is "be friends with your pokemon, you'll never win if you just use them as tools or weapons," so I like the narrative bits because it kind of highlights that aspect of the game while still getting into the strategy at the same time. Very well done, and I can't wait for the next one!
Two minutes in and I’m already busting a gut watching this. “Wooloolemon athletica??” How do you come up with this stuff?? Your storytelling will always be the best of any poketuber, hands down. Thanks for always working so hard to produce great content!
I love the narrated videos! One of my absolute favourites was the Black 2 Holiday Special! So much work was put into that, and I still find myself sometimes rewatching it :D Can't wait for the video you mentioned at the end; it must be brilliant!
Is Wigglytuff not a rabbit? Sylveon too sorta? The Nidos are also technically rabbits too. That's why they evolve with a Moon Stone, it's because rabbits + moon are very connected in Japanese culture
The nidos are def rabbits i dont think sylveon is though. They're the same mix of cat and dog that eevee is imo but they do have aspects of moon rabbit in their design apparently. But wigglytuff I think you could make a case for being a bunny also
Nidos are based on rhinos. There is even easter egg in the games: since it's extremely difficult to breed rhinos in captivity, Nidoqueen can only reproduce in the wild and become sterile when owned by a trainer.
i think clefable would be closer to a rabbit than wiggly but not quite. silveons more like a cat/dog thing whathever the eevees supposed to be, we had this conodron back in the dog only run, theyre closer to foxes and maybe some felines. and the nidos are more like rats/rodents and rabbits ARENT the latter.
Dude I love the narrative nuzlockes. My absolute favorite one is the one you did for Christmas where you rhymed the whole time. This one I teared up at Mopsy's death. Your actually a really good story teller.
The sound design was wonderful😊 Also loved the ending scene with Peter and Cottontail's kids by their side. When Mopsy fell, it reminded me of the Weasley twins only for none of the twins to actually survive... They will always be missed and never forgotten RIP
Absolutely love this video idea and I'm cracking up at the introduction ...if the option ever comes up, I'd love to see my favourite animals, tortoises/turtles, represented in a Torts Only Run somehow... 🐢
Flygon, I LOVE it when you a narrative to certain runs! It adds even more emotional attachment to the mons past just naming them. You give them personalities, interests, gimmicks, bonds, and that adds way more to an interesting challenge than you think. I understand that you won't be able to do it for all your themed videos, but hell if it isn't entertaining when you do. Thank you for making such an awesome video.
Hell yeah! Funnily enough you could've used cat pokemon too. In Vietnam we have the cat instead of a rabbit. The lore in this vid is already insane tho lmao
Very cool you're pivoting into a more narrative direction, because I always loved to see all the little things you put together even for some of the jokes in the past. Looking forward to that vid you've been working on!
I just looked up other rabbit based Mons just in case and it says Nidoran male is a small rabbit but Nidoran Female. It's evolution Nidoking shares traits of Rhinos,Gorillas,Rabbits and Porcupines. So Flygon could've used a Nidoking
While there's no doubt that Nidoking does have those traits, I wanna say that if you looked on Bulbapedia, take what it says about what Pokemon are based on with a grain of salt. Like for Nidoking's page, it didn't used to say it was based on kaiju. They never figured that out until someone translated an interview from 2001 where Ken Sugimori outright says many Pokemon are based on kaiju. Even then, the people behind Bulbapedia still haven't realized that Nidoking is very obviously inspired by Baragon specifically.
There are 4 overall siblings of the Peter Rabbit tale though. Adding another rabbit pokemon would've ruined the story, and Nidoran doesn't exactly fit any of the siblings' names so it couldn't be a good replacement.
That Julius Caesar joke was hilarious, perfect delivery as always. Love the narrative on this one, but no need to feel like all runs need such a detailed narrative to be amazing. I've watched them all and I'll continue to watch them all.
this is one of, if not my favorite, nuzlockes that you've ever done. not even counting the original story stuff (which isn't my taste that much but still works) it's really clear how much effort you put into this challenge with switching movesets, held items, pre-planning so many fights. this was a unique challenge idea and i love how you stuck to it, giving a refreshing feel to sword/shield nuzlockes as many battles that normally aren't difficult or even mentioned were a task with this team.
been watching your challenges almost since the start of your channel, my god you keep getting better and better. Really love the themes you're working into your nuzlockes nowadays. Really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos!!!
I really loved the narrative there and the details in the setting and having a goal made the challenge/theme a lot more unique and memorable rather than just having a random rag tag band of misfits in a team (which is still good, but this just steps it up a lot!). Also it really just breaks in the core of a nuzlocke, originally being based on a narrative with heart wrenching scenes when a fan favourite dies or gets a lot more characterised in the moment of their death and it feels a like a lot more is at stakes while watching. But brilliant video man! Love the progression of your content to include more and more story-based elements in them.
I do really like the narrative in the nuzlocke story. The christmas episode where you spoke in limerick (or just rhymes idk literature terms) was amazing and im always glad to see more in this genre!
Dam Dr. Flygon, that was good as hell. I’ve been going thru some battles lately, which is why I think the stuff about “trying and failing thru circumstances, not flaws” when Mopsy died hit me so hard. As lane as it sounds I got a bit choked up- and then Peter came in with the techno, and I got pumped the F up. Thanks for your high effort, top-quality, no BS, goofy as hell, always-dope vids.
I've gotta say, I absolutely LOVE how you're not just playing the game with extra rules, you turn it into a fun story as well. I love these sorts of runs, and I hope to see more sometime!
Love the narrative approach to nuzlockes - the first video I happened to see from you was the Holiday Special video, and the story aspect and dedication to the rhyme forever set your content apart for me.
Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were - Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir-tree. 'Now, my dears,' said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, 'you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was out into a pie by Mr. McGregor. Now run along, and don't get into mischief. I am going out.'
Honestly, I've been following you for a while now and, as all comments say, this one video really stands out with it's storytelling. That last battle was full of feels, well-written, well-realized. So yeah, please keep going on like that, it's really really good and promising !
WOW! a minute and a half in and im enthralled by the storytelling! i love the direction you're going with these, gives them a lot more substance. on the other hand i understand they take more time to make but honestly i hope you keep going!
I've been watching your channel for a while now, and while I came for the nuzlockes, I stayed for the stories. I would love to see more like this one. As a side note, you could have just saved up enough money battling easier trainers and selling items to bribe a local official into making the farm a historical landmark instead of risking the rabbits' lives. RIP Flopsy and Mopsy.
I absolutely love this style of video much more! Makes the experience of watching someone nuzlocke a game that much more enjoyable when the Pokémon have genuine character building! I mean, the entire reason the “you must nickname all your encounters” rule was created so you’d build a better bond with your Pokémon!
As someone who got into nuzlockes very early on where they were about the story and the comics on DA. Seeing these come back in your videos is lovely! Thank you
Oh my god. It’s a Peter Rabbit parody. This is amazing! I love your vids already, but seeing a story (ik it’s pretty mainstream as kids stories go but still) from my local area just makes this video even more special ! Watching rn, confident you’ll win >:]
I think the story that you add to your content and playthroughs is a big part why you're one of the best poketubers. I've been your fan for many years now and I'm glad that you're still as amazing as ever. Please keep doing what you do because we all really appreciate the hard work, love and effort you put into all your videos. Xx
Incredible work Flygon. I love your channel and this may be one of your best videos yet. I thought the story was supreme, especially the finale. The monologue and music were very powerful together at the end, leading to a very emotional and moving experience. Bravo! I love the standard challenges, and I would love for you to continue to explore the narrative videos even further!
I have really enjoyed the narratives in these recent videos! Your nuzlockes already tend to strike this great mix of humor and morbidity that borders on existential dread, and it's so great. The stories really highlight that!
This was so good! I love the narrative format here. It reminds me of the old style Nuzlocke comics from the way back times. Awesome work as always HG and it's been really fun to see you grow as a creator!
I love the stories in these nuzlockes so goddamn much, you're fantastic at storytelling! I didn't expect this vid to make me cry, but that goes to show your prowess at turning simple events into compelling narratives!
Jesus Christ, how do you manage to almost make me cry in your videos ;-; Seriously, your speeches when your pokemon die (especially this time) are exceptional, really hits hard everytime
Missed this one when it came out - so delightful! Having such a small crew really does increase the connection with them as a viewer, and make every risked crit so much more high stakes.
I hate the wait between your videos, but you are using your time so damn effectively to be producing such high quality content with this little of a time lag between videos. You work hard on this, and it is noticed and appreciated.
love the storylines in these! a lot of nuzlockes (tho i love them) become pretty repetitive after a while once you start to know the strategies. i love nuzlocke comics for this reason too. keep up the good work!!
also, i DID exhale more through my nose at the hop line, thank you. i also liked the line about heros trying rather than suceeding so much that i wrote it down lol
In an alternate universe, the rabbit siblings choose violence and choke Leon with his own cape, while hidding on top of each other in a trenchcoat. The “culprit” is never found
You win
love the two interpretations that can come from this, either one can assume the position of champion by killing the current reigning champion or they just really want to kill Leon completely unrelated to getting back their farm.
either way, I think rabbits should be allowed to do murder. just once.
The real culprit frames a bunch of wooloo
I mean, we know Cottontail has the strength for it...
Each time their found to be the culprit, they use Dialga to change that and go back into hiding
The original nuzlocke was completely story-based, but I feel like a lot of poketubers have forgotten/streamlined it to just a challenge - a lot of times the deaths in runs don't feel impactful, which was the original point!
So i LOVE seeing you add a lot of story elements. I love the lore, and when Flopsy and Mopsy passed i felt the sadness of their siblings and rooted for the win even more. And seeing Peter and Cottontail have their own families at the end is bittersweet. Absolutely please continue to add narratives!
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 There's a great finished written one called Dear Diary, which was a darker Black nuzlocke run.

I just looked up other rabbit based Mons just in case and it says Nidoran male is a small rabbit but Nidoran Female. It's evolution Nidoking shares traits of Rhinos,Gorillas,Rabbits and Porcupines. So Flygon could've used a Nidoking
i think a clefable would have been more in line then that honestly, but still weird.
While there's no doubt that Nidoking does have those traits, I wanna say that if you looked on Bulbapedia, take what it says about what Pokemon are based on with a grain of salt. Like for Nidoking's page, it didn't used to say it was based on kaiju. They never figured that out until someone translated an interview from 2001 where Ken Sugimori outright says many Pokemon are based on kaiju. Even then, the people behind Bulbapedia still haven't realized that Nidoking is very obviously inspired by Baragon specifically.
Wigglytuff could also be used
There are 4 overall siblings of the Peter Rabbit tale though. Adding another rabbit pokemon would've ruined the story, and Nidoran doesn't exactly fit any of the siblings' names so it couldn't be a good replacement.

That Julius Caesar joke was hilarious, perfect delivery as always.
Love the narrative on this one, but no need to feel like all runs need such a detailed narrative to be amazing. I've watched them all and I'll continue to watch them all.
Wooloolemon is my new favorite store
Peter: I did it. I saved the farm.
Matti: What did it cost?
Peter: Everything...
Happy New Year from Taiwan!
新年快樂!
this is one of, if not my favorite, nuzlockes that you've ever done. not even counting the original story stuff (which isn't my taste that much but still works) it's really clear how much effort you put into this challenge with switching movesets, held items, pre-planning so many fights. this was a unique challenge idea and i love how you stuck to it, giving a refreshing feel to sword/shield nuzlockes as many battles that normally aren't difficult or even mentioned were a task with this team.
Appreciate the homage to Year of the Rabbit. Happy New Year everyone!
I love it when you add narrative content to your nuzlockes! It spices them up a ton
Hello everyone
Hi
Hi
been watching your challenges almost since the start of your channel, my god you keep getting better and better. Really love the themes you're working into your nuzlockes nowadays. Really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos!!!
u are so fucking handsome
I LOVE the storytelling! That’s one of my favorite parts about watching other people’s Nuzlockes. Keep it up. Make us cry more.
This is one of my favorites now. Love the inclusion of a narrative and the emotion it evoked at the end there.
Loved the narrative, keep it up. It makes it more interesting to watch games that you've already beaten so many times
I really loved the narrative there and the details in the setting and having a goal made the challenge/theme a lot more unique and memorable rather than just having a random rag tag band of misfits in a team (which is still good, but this just steps it up a lot!). Also it really just breaks in the core of a nuzlocke, originally being based on a narrative with heart wrenching scenes when a fan favourite dies or gets a lot more characterised in the moment of their death and it feels a like a lot more is at stakes while watching. But brilliant video man! Love the progression of your content to include more and more story-based elements in them.
I do really like the narrative in the nuzlocke story. The christmas episode where you spoke in limerick (or just rhymes idk literature terms) was amazing and im always glad to see more in this genre!
Dam Dr. Flygon, that was good as hell. I’ve been going thru some battles lately, which is why I think the stuff about “trying and failing thru circumstances, not flaws” when Mopsy died hit me so hard. As lane as it sounds I got a bit choked up- and then Peter came in with the techno, and I got pumped the F up. Thanks for your high effort, top-quality, no BS, goofy as hell, always-dope vids.
this run is literally so fun, love the stories you've been adding to the videos, commenting for that sick sick algorithm boost
I've gotta say, I absolutely LOVE how you're not just playing the game with extra rules, you turn it into a fun story as well. I love these sorts of runs, and I hope to see more sometime!
Love the narrative approach to nuzlockes - the first video I happened to see from you was the Holiday Special video, and the story aspect and dedication to the rhyme forever set your content apart for me.
Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were - Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir-tree. 'Now, my dears,' said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, 'you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was out into a pie by Mr. McGregor. Now run along, and don't get into mischief. I am going out.'
Honestly, I've been following you for a while now and, as all comments say, this one video really stands out with it's storytelling. That last battle was full of feels, well-written, well-realized. So yeah, please keep going on like that, it's really really good and promising !
WOW! a minute and a half in and im enthralled by the storytelling! i love the direction you're going with these, gives them a lot more substance. on the other hand i understand they take more time to make but honestly i hope you keep going!
Love the narrative stuff here. You nailed it, makes for a lovely change from the usual formula
I've been watching your channel for a while now, and while I came for the nuzlockes, I stayed for the stories. I would love to see more like this one.
As a side note, you could have just saved up enough money battling easier trainers and selling items to bribe a local official into making the farm a historical landmark instead of risking the rabbits' lives. RIP Flopsy and Mopsy.
I absolutely love this style of video much more! Makes the experience of watching someone nuzlocke a game that much more enjoyable when the Pokémon have genuine character building! I mean, the entire reason the “you must nickname all your encounters” rule was created so you’d build a better bond with your Pokémon!
As someone who got into nuzlockes very early on where they were about the story and the comics on DA.
Seeing these come back in your videos is lovely! Thank you
Oh my god. It’s a Peter Rabbit parody. This is amazing! I love your vids already, but seeing a story (ik it’s pretty mainstream as kids stories go but still) from my local area just makes this video even more special ! Watching rn, confident you’ll win >:]
I think the story that you add to your content and playthroughs is a big part why you're one of the best poketubers. I've been your fan for many years now and I'm glad that you're still as amazing as ever. Please keep doing what you do because we all really appreciate the hard work, love and effort you put into all your videos. Xx
Incredible work Flygon. I love your channel and this may be one of your best videos yet. I thought the story was supreme, especially the finale. The monologue and music were very powerful together at the end, leading to a very emotional and moving experience. Bravo! I love the standard challenges, and I would love for you to continue to explore the narrative videos even further!
I have really enjoyed the narratives in these recent videos! Your nuzlockes already tend to strike this great mix of humor and morbidity that borders on existential dread, and it's so great. The stories really highlight that!
I loved the narrative you added to this video. It was a nice change of pace and made the deaths hit that much harder. Great stuff!
This was so good! I love the narrative format here. It reminds me of the old style Nuzlocke comics from the way back times. Awesome work as always HG and it's been really fun to see you grow as a creator!
So many people have already said it, but the stories you push with these types of nuzlockes are amazing! Looking forward to any content you put out!
I love the stories in these nuzlockes so goddamn much, you're fantastic at storytelling! I didn't expect this vid to make me cry, but that goes to show your prowess at turning simple events into compelling narratives!
This was a wonderful and cute adventure. I feel that your narrative push for this video was very engaging. Rabbit farms forever!
32:20 - Well that is a mood
Love it! The way you intertwine challenging gameplay and simple (but funny) storytelling always gets me
Jesus Christ, how do you manage to almost make me cry in your videos ;-;
Seriously, your speeches when your pokemon die (especially this time) are exceptional, really hits hard everytime
Missed this one when it came out - so delightful! Having such a small crew really does increase the connection with them as a viewer, and make every risked crit so much more high stakes.
Yo! That was amazing! The narrative adds so much more drama and makes losing a teammate hurt even more. Absolutely spectacular! Keep it up!
This is definitely one of the best videos I've ever seen. That last fight almost had me in tears. Keep up the amazing content!
I hate the wait between your videos, but you are using your time so damn effectively to be producing such high quality content with this little of a time lag between videos. You work hard on this, and it is noticed and appreciated.
love the storylines in these! a lot of nuzlockes (tho i love them) become pretty repetitive after a while once you start to know the strategies. i love nuzlocke comics for this reason too. keep up the good work!!
also, i DID exhale more through my nose at the hop line, thank you. i also liked the line about heros trying rather than suceeding so much that i wrote it down lol
