    I don’t know if you planned that far ahead but having Thor pass the hammer/baton to Cap is a galaxy brain setup. I applaud you sir. Well done.

    FlygonHG : "I can speak a foreign language !" Also FlygonHG : "Strudgele Bouge"
  • @yoyojoost
    ‘He who delelewhoops without love in his heart will never know what it means to be deleleloved’, the feels hit so hard.
  • The Lopunny part got me. I’ve always wondered why there was one on Flint’s team…
  • Having lurked most of the streams, I'm surprised just how well you did with the limited pool of mons you had to work with. Honestly, keep up the gimmick, I think it would be really fun to see in ORAS, HGSS, and FRLG!

    "I’m surprised y’all didn’t ban Girafarig cause it’s legit one of the better mons in Sinnoh’s dex lol. Normal/Psychic being a fantastic typing since it’s only weak to Bug and Dark, decent overall stats, fantastic movepool on both the physical and special sides (Earthquake, Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow ball, Crunch, Headbutt, etc). It’s actually quite slept on in games where it’s usable, since it’s almost always one of the best ones due to how early you can find it in the games" That guy from the YT comment is a freaking legend!!!

    Note to self. If Flygon ever does something like this again, spend all votes on Wingul because, dear Arceus.
  • @Ludiloco
    I love seeing Girafarig get the love he deserves. Honestly, such a good mon thanks to its typing and decent stats.
  • @m.caeben2578
    “What is grief, but love persevering” Love that line.
  • @natethebad
    I don't know if I will ever get over how casually FlygonHG said "Uncle Jim got arrested for fighting a baby at a Wendy's"
  • "Lopunny has nothing to do with fire or being ho-...ooooh... oh. okay" (I choked on my drink)
  • @galvsparks6295
    Spoilers Knowing how much of a unit Girafarig was during the elite four. The guy who voted for it to be banned must feel like a god right now

    I like how you became a random dude popping off on my youtube recommendation to being probably one of my fav and enjoyable youtubers to watch also happy 1 yr anniversary for your first video and thank you for providing all the content
  • I love the difference between Flygon and Antlerboy. Flygon: “Chibi Cynthia is aight, I guess.” Antlerboy: “Cynthia can step on my neck any time.”
  • Mars' purrugly eating its berry then stealing yours is far too perfect to be anything but on purpose.
  • 39:10 Fun fact: Drapion ,the terror of the desert, is so scared of hippowdon that it stays away from it. This encounter made so much sense
  • thor's "hammer" being passed to cap is so poetic i cAN'T this was a great run! the idea was very cool and unique, and i really enjoyed the video. you're one of my favorite youtubers and i adore your content. keep it up my dude!
  • A Snaplocke of X and Y could be fun. Those games are pretty easy, so this kind of challenge could be a good way to make it harder.
  • I like how these mons utilize all four weather conditions, three of them as an ability
