Pokémon Yellow - My First Gen 1 Hardcore Nuzlocke! (No items, No overleveling)

Bulbasaur Lady: "I don't think you're a kind enough trainer to trust this bulbasaur to." Flygon: *flailing around his dead Pikachu by the tail * "WHY THE HELL NOT?!"

Also regarding the Bulbasaur, your Pikachu needs to have max friendship before she gives it to you. You can cheese it by repeatedly giving Pikachu a potion even if it’s at full health

Finishing Yellow without Pikachu feels like a mortal sin.

For those that don't know, to get that Bulbasaur, you have to raise your Pikachu to max friendship. You can do this very easily by spamming potions on your Pikachu at full health, which won't waste the potion and will make it happier. Once your Pikachu shows hearts when you talk to it, the lady will notice how much it loves you and give you the Bulbasaur! Amazed I managed to find this out by accident when I first played the game, but I was a little silly kid that thought it was cute to try to heal Pikachu and watch it be happy that you tried.

For those wondering, you get the bulbasaur by having your pikachu in your party and it having high enough friendship. You also have to have a space free in your party. Since Flygon's pikachu died first, technically he would have never been able to get the bulbasaur.

Fun fact I learned from watching Scott’s Thoughts (who I highly recommend), your rivals eeveelution is based off of the first two battles with your rival! If you lose the lab battle, he chooses vaporeon. If you win and don’t do the optional battle next to vermillion, he chooses flareon. If you win and beat him in the optional battle, he chooses jolteon.

The funny thing about focus energy in RBY is that it literally does the opposite of what it's supposed to, it basically sets your crit ratio to 0 so you can never get a crit.

My first Pokemon game was precisely yellow, back in 2000, so this video hits right in the feels!

There's actually two Moon Stones in Mt Moon. There's one hidden near the Super Nerd that guards the Fossils. Just in case you decide to run Gen 1 again, this was a fun video~

In order to get that Bulbasaur, you need your starter Pikachu to have high friendship. And it is easily accomplished by spamming normal potions on your starter Pikachu when it's HP is on the red.

Loved this video! Gen 1 is my favorite as it’s the one I started with as well. Despite some programming flaws, it has so much charm and nostalgia for me

That bulbasaur ending. You either die a hero in a nuzlocke, or live long enough to see yourself become a villain in the end.

As everyone posts Scarlet/Violet content, it’s nice to have something Pokemon related I can consume before I get to play my game in 24 hours 😅 Thanks Flygon HG!

Currently doing a yellow nuzlock myself so I really enjoyed this. Thanks for the work my friend

The respect here for Yellow is insane! Awesome run, pure entertainment. Nice one.

The reenactment of your first Fearow’s death is like a ballet 😭 So poignant so beautiful Also my first game was Silver and you can tell by how often to this day in other games I grind and get distracted by side quests

Pokemon Crystal will always hold a very special place in my heart as my first ever Pokemon game. I'll never forget how proud of myself I was for catching a Hoothoot without my older sister's help LOL.

My first pokemon game was pokemon blue that my uncle got me for christmas the year it came out when i was 4 years old. Its actually one of my earliest memories and ill NEVER forget it, and what started my love for pokemon. This video was great to watch and very nostalgic! Keep up the great work flygon! And that god forsaken fainting cry from pikachu will forever be imbedded in my head, i think my pikachu only fainted once and i vowed to never let it happen again because it was so heartbreaking.. but enough rambling down memory lane, back to watching more flygonHG videos ❤

Such a blessing in Yellow to get all the starters. I remember I would always instantly box Pikachu as a kid because I was salty it couldn't evolve lol

Wasn’t expecting rat power to make a comeback but I was pleasantly surprised 😀Great content as always!
