Wishing you all a very happy Holiday season! This will be my last video until the New Year, but stay tuned. The full reveal of my yearlong Secret Project will be WITHIN my next video! If you're a fan of competitive battles, the Pokémon characters themselves and their best teams, and/or my old True Power series... you will NOT wanna miss this
The ex-rocket grunt was in unova and was married and had a kid. The house was in icirrus city but was only accessible in winter. I think in B2W2 you could talk to one of the guys in the house and the Route 10 theme would play.
16:00 something i recently learned is that, according to bulbapedia, Warden Baoba is the Kanto safari warden. Apparently some of his dialogue in hgss tells you that he moved the safari zone to johto.
I love how you do the Kanto section, I do the same way and have level cap for all the gyms as to not make it mundane, always got a bit annoyed when youtubers just skip over the Kanto section when they had plenty of encounters
OMG! I'm so glad that I wasn't the only kid who had no idea how to leave the starting house in the first Pokemon game. I thought I had tried everything and I even asked my friends who were no help at all. It took me persistently walking into each and every wall in the house to discover how to leave!
Thank you for using water types in your bonus Kanto run. It was fun to watch the full Kanto region being conquered by your mons! I've finally finished watching all of your challenge video backlog and cannot wait to see your new challenge project!
Have a good Christmas, Silph; how do you feel on Paldea? It'd be cool to see a Mono Type run in either Scarlet or Violet, especially now the DLCs are out for that extra bit of diversity, and the BB Academy is really challenging, too, with its fully EV trained Pokemon and competitive doubles format. Enjoy the holidays, and see you in the new year! Really excited to see this secret project
I really enjoy the little touches you have in your playthroughs. Things like noticing or reacting to dialogue, making funny little interpretations (step dad machoke in your ruby/sapphire runs is an example). It just feels like you legitimately enjoy exploring the world rather than rushing through all the fights, even though you must've played these games hundreds of times by now.
Am I the only one that finds it kinda hilarious when people forget about Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent? Those abilities have both saved my rear end and been the cause of certain deaths in the few nuzlockes I've done. (RIP Lukey the Lapras in my Pokemon Y nuzlocke - AKA my very first nuzlocke ever)
A bug only run of gen 1 would be fun with all the bugs in it. Or maybe a starter only run in gen 7 since there are a few to pick from in the wild from island scan. Both sound fun
a starter is called started because you start with it. it goes weird if you get more with island scan in starter only run, looks a bit not starter only.
trainer: hey oak, how can you be talking to me here while your radio show is still airing live? oak: i just aired some old reruns, nobody will every notice oak on the radio: ATTENTION TRAINERS, THE FALKLAND ISLANDS HAVE BEEN INVADED
Thanks for doing an extra video on Kanto. Always wanted to see it played through, sometimes think you just skip through it but all your content is excellent mate love it keep it up 👏
Yo Silph! thanks for all the great content this year! I really enjoyed you giving kanto its flowers and not paying it dust! I also appreciate you being open about your mental health! I have just so much more respect for you as a content creator and I hope the absolute best for you this upcoming year and for your new secret project! :)
Silph I really enjoyed the separated videos. I don’t know if it’s too much, but I’ll really like to see the gym leader rematches since their team gets insanely better.
I remember getting Gold and later Crystal after playing Red and Yellow. As a 9 year old it was just mindblowing beimg able to go to Kanto 😂 HeartGold and SoulSilver are perfect remakes. I bought them ftom my first money of my job with a new DSi at the time aroumd 2010. Theyd be a 10/10 game if they just fixed that bad levels on the Kanto gym leaders. But still 9,5/10 games in my opinion. Peak Pokemon next to Emerald and Platinum
I was waiting for this one! Since then I've been trying my own hardcore nuzlocke...been failing them misreably. We need more of these films especially Soul silver/Heart gold
You're correct in remembering the Ex-Rocket member. In Black and White you could go to his house in Icurrus City in the winter time, and it was, in fact, this one from the Kanto bit. You also get to hear a BW soundfont rendition of the Team Rocket Radio Tower Take-over theme in there. In BW2 they were replaced by a married Aqua and Magma grunt.
Great video as always Silph! If you're in need of another idea for these run videos you could do runs where you limit how many encounters you have. Loved this water video but there are so many encounters that it gave you an embarrassment of riches. If you limited yourself to the first X amount of encounters it could offer up the ability to do type runs an additional time. Just a thought. Thanks for the videos as always!
Well down this is the first time I’ve seen a gen two run if kanto in almost all vids they just show highlights then red never really showing anything else thx for doing this part two and I hope you do this more often (when it’s not boring) have fun and stay safe
Yes! Thank you for confirming I wasn't the only little kid who got stuck in the very first house in the game as the whole door mechanic was *very* unclear when you're four or five and playing your very first game!
According to damage calcs on the Venusaur vs. Kingdra bit, Venusaur's Frenzy Plant was going to do 93 to 110% to Kingdra. Venusaur has a 122 SpAtk stat and was in Overgrow + STAB 150 BP Frenzy Plant. RIP Thorpe
Oof unfortunately better help is very, very unreliable, if you need mental health support you need to find a good fit in person, better help is infamous for dropping the ball and inadvertently hurting people 😔
With the way you did the intro I thought you were doing the Jan to part with Pokémon you can only get after beating the league and was looking forward to that! This ok, but that woulda been dope!
Hey Silph what if you restricted yourself to certain regions for a challenge. For example you play Pokemon White with only Pokemon from Kanto. Kind of like you’re a trainer arriving from Kanto, just a thought!
Ss&hg will always be one of the best pokemon games out giving you opportunity to fight gen 1 gym leaders again but way stronger watching this made me want to bust out the Ds again and play a nuzlock of hg
Regarding Prof. Oak, a person in Crystal says that his show isn't recorded live - so if you listened to the radio show while he's leaving for his show, there'd be a prerecorded show on air 😅
Lol i swear i clicked this video after watching prt 1 and completely forgot until intro lmao lfgggg. Keep the soul silver and fire red nuzlockes churning my dooode
better help is really awful man im glad your talking about ur mental health but better help steals psychiatrists info that dont work with them and put it on their site and sell their patients health info to third parties not cool
Hey Silph! Been a follower for some time now and it would be awesome to see if you'd build a themed roster like the wallpapers on the pc LOL.. e.g Desert, Forest, City, etc. BTW, keep them nice playthroughs coming!
i dont know if anyone has ever done something like this but can u do a 1 pokemon at a time run, like a whole series, each game. through ought the game, youre only allowed to use 1 pokemon for each battle, switching to another pokemon is allowed but you have to release the previous one
Rocket grunt is the Ragecandybar dude, from Black and white. He's in the ice gym town (can't remember the name), but it needs to be winter for you to find him.
A question that was stuck in my head since the beginning of the hardcore nuzlocke one type only, after you ran out of types to use in every Pokémon game. (there's still gonna be ones like new Pokemon games but i'm talking about before it's release) what will you do?

Hey, how about doing a nuzlocke of a Pokémon gym leader or elite four or a rival team in a game in a different region?
Pokemon unbound next please silph
You should name every Kingdra in your nuzlockes that you use "SILPH."
Pity you missed Whiscash.
how can you say that this is the last video until the New Year Silph when you can clearly do a 6 Delibird run on Christmas Day lmao
I think this is the first time I’ve seen anyone give the kantonhalf of the game more than a few minute summary lol. It was refreshing
The ex-rocket grunt was in unova and was married and had a kid. The house was in icirrus city but was only accessible in winter. I think in B2W2 you could talk to one of the guys in the house and the Route 10 theme would play.
Rightttt that was it; nailed it! I love these subtle continuity elements across the games - makes them so much more worth exploring in-depth ☺️
wasn't it a Rocket Grunt in BW and Aqua/Magma grunts in B2W2? Or was it the opposite?
@@nesradub360 you got it right. I forgot the rocket grunts were only there in BW but it’s still a really cool continuity nod
Can't express how much you being candid with mental health is appreciated especially right now. You're the best

I love that you named him Thorpe. Ian Thorp was an absolute gun of a swimmer.
OMG! I'm so glad that I wasn't the only kid who had no idea how to leave the starting house in the first Pokemon game.

Way to end the year, Mr. Silph

I was eagerly looking forward to this one, but a Friday night upload? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

that tentacruel just did NOT want to die against blue. i respect it

I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who had trouble getting out of the starting house in the original games
A bug only run of gen 1 would be fun with all the bugs in it. Or maybe a starter only run in gen 7 since there are a few to pick from in the wild from island scan. Both sound fun
You're a bug tyler
a starter is called started because you start with it. it goes weird if you get more with island scan in starter only run, looks a bit not starter only.

Petition to get silph to do leafgreen fighting only next

This was a great one! I love that you showed more of kanto this time!
silph droppin us a nice vid before Christmas whata guy. Happy holidays

Silph I really enjoyed the separated videos. I don’t know if it’s too much, but I’ll really like to see the gym leader rematches since their team gets insanely better.
The Rocket Grunt in another region you're referring to is supposed to be the Rocket Grunt found near Cerulean, and he's in Unova in Icirrus City.
This is really cool. Kanto was always my favorite part of gen 2 and everyone skips to blue right away with their teams. So good to see this
I didn’t expect Friday Night Silph. Happy Holidays!!
I remember getting Gold and later Crystal after playing Red and Yellow. As a 9 year old it was just mindblowing beimg able to go to Kanto 😂

Awesome two parter
Appreciate the extra effort to script and edit this
I always love it when nuzlockers can use there mascots
Happy Holidays

I can't believe how much I laughed at the starmie with a briefcase.... 😅
dude my name is hayden and watching that floatzle sweep made me so happy

This videos going to take up a large portion of the 30 minutes internet usage my wife's boyfriend allows me, but its worth it.
Mens mental health is a top priority, I only wish Silph knew how much he did for people who struggle too
Oh boy, a betterhelp sponsorship 😬
Well down this is the first time I’ve seen a gen two run if kanto in almost all vids they just show highlights then red never really showing anything else thx for doing this part two and I hope you do this more often (when it’s not boring) have fun and stay safe
Happy holidays Silph thanks for all the runs this year🥳
The Stray Rocket Grunt is indeed the very same one you can find retired in Unova. Guy really turned his life around.
I feel so bad for you because every single time you get to use Kingdra, they die
As probably the only dewgong fan ever it feels really good to see it actually get used on a team for once
A new Silph episode with my favorite typing? Let’s goooo!
Also, happy your mental health is doing better my dude! Keep on keeping on!
Glad to see Octillery get some action! Merry Christmas Mr Silph
I love your voiceover on these.
Yes! Thank you for confirming I wasn't the only little kid who got stuck in the very first house in the game as the whole door mechanic was *very* unclear when you're four or five and playing your very first game!
It’s fitting Red and Blue are the dream killers. Tentacruel came up big.
According to damage calcs on the Venusaur vs. Kingdra bit, Venusaur's Frenzy Plant was going to do 93 to 110% to Kingdra. Venusaur has a 122 SpAtk stat and was in Overgrow + STAB 150 BP Frenzy Plant.
RIP Thorpe
Cool to see your mascot Kingdra used in one of these runs. Too bad Venusaur ended him in the end, really wished he'd make it at the end.
Oof unfortunately better help is very, very unreliable, if you need mental health support you need to find a good fit in person, better help is infamous for dropping the ball and inadvertently hurting people 😔
With the way you did the intro I thought you were doing the Jan to part with Pokémon you can only get after beating the league and was looking forward to that! This ok, but that woulda been dope!
so glad to finally see my favourite pokémon poliwrath in a video
I’m doing a playthrough of SoulSilver with only grass types, and it has been a ROUGH start with the first gyms
Yeah, that would be brutal. That Scyther gotta be one of the strongest early game gym Pokemon ever.
Hey Silph what if you restricted yourself to certain regions for a challenge. For example you play Pokemon White with only Pokemon from Kanto. Kind of like you’re a trainer arriving from Kanto, just a thought!
Ss&hg will always be one of the best pokemon games out giving you opportunity to fight gen 1 gym leaders again but way stronger watching this made me want to bust out the Ds again and play a nuzlock of hg
I can't wait for Generation 5 remakes next year. Assuming they won't be exactly like Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Regarding Prof. Oak, a person in Crystal says that his show isn't recorded live - so if you listened to the radio show while he's leaving for his show, there'd be a prerecorded show on air 😅
I am so glad I was not the only one that couldn't figure out how to leave the first house 😂
wouldnt horsea be available after the 8th gym in the whirl islands? or doesnt it count cuz o route 40?
Love the Gen 2 Remakes, they’re so complete
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Silph!
The Rocket grunt in another region you're thinking of is from the Gen 5 games.
Such a good video - during that 16th gym battle, I thought you were done for. Fun run for sure 🙏🏽
Yeah, that same Rocket Grunt from the bridge makes an appearance in Unova in either BW or B2W2 I don't remember which
What a way to end the year Silph, happy christmas and happy new year
Major respect for grinding multiple pokemon for 20-30 levels once in Kanto😎
You probably didn't need 11 badges for the Super Rod, you can access the whole map aside from the Rock Climb Area & NT Silver with only 8
Texted the homies already. Hype!
The homies also said hey
Weren’t Squirtle and Mudkip considered as encounters? You can get Squirtle from Prof Oak and Mudkip from Saffron City. Loved the vid nonetheless ❤
I came to this page because I missed the gym leader fights - looks like it might be back soon
Love your videos. Watch them alm the time tons of times xD
Silph, how about do a nuzlocke using every gym leader's ace pokemon? you can choose whatever version you play.
Lol i swear i clicked this video after watching prt 1 and completely forgot until intro lmao lfgggg. Keep the soul silver and fire red nuzlockes churning my dooode
Ah yes, "EV training." Aka vitamins and rare candy cheats. ;)
It's been a long year hasn't it?! Hope you guys have an amazing holiday as well and we'll see what 2024 brings! 💜
better help is really awful man im glad your talking about ur mental health but better help steals psychiatrists info that dont work with them and put it on their site and sell their patients health info to third parties not cool
Hey Silph! Been a follower for some time now and it would be awesome to see if you'd build a themed roster like the wallpapers on the pc LOL.. e.g Desert, Forest, City, etc. BTW, keep them nice playthroughs coming!
Better help is scummy they did a lot of awful stuff prior to everyone getting sick.
Happy Holidays Silph🎉❤
The battle against Red really came down to D'wyer 😂
That frenzy plant at the end was overgrow boosted
Loved it but if you do this again can you do the elite four rematch with the new team? Really dug this concept and re exploring Kanto.
movie time with Silphspectre... where's my wine?
Love your videos, really motivates me to do this runs❤️
i dont know if anyone has ever done something like this but can u do a 1 pokemon at a time run, like a whole series, each game. through ought the game, youre only allowed to use 1 pokemon for each battle, switching to another pokemon is allowed but you have to release the previous one
Yea that was a 150bp stab attack coming off 100sp atck and overgrow no shot u was living that
Rocket grunt is the Ragecandybar dude, from Black and white. He's in the ice gym town (can't remember the name), but it needs to be winter for you to find him.
Icirrus city?
Outstanding performance Silph! As always!
25:09 Best Possible Team….you mean….your TRUE POWER??
Also must have been fun to do a Nuzlocke with your mascot.
Just woke up, i see a Silph video, i click. Its that simple!. Thanks for the video
I'm glad you finally did this
A question that was stuck in my head since the beginning of the hardcore nuzlocke one type only, after you ran out of types to use in every Pokémon game. (there's still gonna be ones like new Pokemon games but i'm talking about before it's release) what will you do?
Great run silph merry Christmas my friend
Merry Christmas Silph ❤
How the heck does a toaster rat survive a 95 stab full ev rainboosted attack? Just....wat? I am very brain broken by that!
That battle ended as it should have, with Lanturn supremacy.
The venusaur had its ability activated I think. Overgrow boosted the frenzy plant.
Oh my god! I thought i was the only one unable to find the door! I needed my uncle to help me find a was out of that house!
Nice run, but it'd been nice to see the updated E4.
Great vid, cheers.
Have a great festive season 👍🍺
