Always felt like you were evening the odds with the gym leaders and elite four by playing with one type, and it just adds to the immersion IMO making you feel like an actual trainer in the world.

Starting with a level 5 dratini is worse than just using a regular starter till you can catch a dragon legit. Dratini vs Roxanne is pain

@shirox11

2 жыл бұрын

Dratini is pretty meh til dragonair. That’s the things with dragons. They start out slow, but get pretty significant boosts in power once they hit there first evo and then are incredibly powerful once fully evolved. (For dragons that have 3 forms anyway)

I love the "How to tame your dragón" theme of this video, amazing as always.

Ok, this is what I love about your nuzlockes. You actually show the whole footage even if you lose at the end. That makes it a lot more entertaining imo because you literally don't know if you'll beat the challenge or not until the end, unlike a lot of nuzlockers who only show their wins which gets boring imo because you know they'll beat it so there's no suspense when it comes to deaths. Can't wait for the next one!

Finally a nuzlocke where he gets to use his mascot 🤣🥳🥳🥳

How did he get a Dratini?

Silph, you can grab the Meteorite immediately after defeating Archie/Maxie at Mt. Chimney. You don’t need to leave and come back. I did it all the time when I played RSE back in the day.

Love the little background story for having your starter. I'm on Wulfric on a dark only run of Y, and I don't have X, so no Houndoom. However my old roommate traded me a shiny houndoom on my AS game like 12 years ago, so I bred it, traded it over and damn! It AND my Froakie had a modest nature off the bat.

Honestly one of the most interesting and best runs I've seen (not just cause you used my favorite mon Salamence), keep on keeping on Silph!

Thanks for the video Silph. My family's male Bearded Dragon of 8 long years, Steve, passed away a couple of weeks ago and I'm still having a hard time adjusting to the loss of such a sweet boy. This video helped to ease my pain a lot, but it has also inspired me to attempt a Dragon Types Only run on some Pokémon games of my own. Thanks for being an amazing youtuber and nuzlocker. Keep up the awesome work!

Watch these every night after work while I wrench on stuff in the garage. Just wanted to say I appreciate the time and effort these take and I like how lengthy they can be. Well done

unfortunate to lose Salamance on the ice set. other option might have been to try to fish for the shell bell for extra sustain on that hyper offensive team.

These videos are too good :D Wally being special attack EV fodder broke my heart.

Silph, this was such a fun run! :D What a challenge! Kudos to you for having the persistence to continue on with so few resources available to you. I absolutely loved the idea of replacing a starter with a rare, later game typing for these tricky mono-type runs. Very excited to see what you conjure up in the future, my friend! :D

I did a fire types only but my friend decided the rules I could hack the encounter use 100% iv hack use the master ball hack to fill the dex and one non-fire type pokemon I chose dragonite he was one of the best of pokemon alongside flareon who blitzed Agatha.

These vids really take the pain off man. Life is really hard for me right now and its nice as hell to come and get some good nostalgia behind a dope commentary. Keep it up Silph.

THAR BE DRAGONS! Can’t go wrong with these bois. Excellent run, Silph!

I did a mono dragon run in Emerald myself and the moment I saw Dratini as a starter, I knew we were in for a wild ride

ty for showing each death and wipes, making us feel the struggle and grind!

holy moly Silph, Emerald was the one GBA game I played the most, and I never knew you could fight the rival if you go to Mr. Briney's house before fighting the grunt again to save his Wingull :0 wowee.

That was the most horrifying Goldeen……

Damn, that was a rough conclusion but a great run

I know I'm not alone when I say I REALLY like the starter being apart of the type exclusive challenge.

I had no idea you could fight your rival in front of Mr.Briney's house. Even weirder I just found out that specifically May (and not Brendan) will have a Torkoal in this second battle but replaces it for Slugma immediately after. Brendan on the other hand has a Slugma the whole time. I definitely think this is an oversight.

I was just watching some old runs as background noise while I do some cleaning when I think to myself “I don’t remember this one..” look up to see a brand new adventure! Great start to a Sunday morning ☺️

Love the fact you included backstory to make it so you get another mon that is fully legit

I was looking at Kingdra’s learnset and I saw toxic. Maybe for the Milotic using toxic, protect, dive and rest could have worked better.

Silph listens to Guns&Roses? And just when I thought you couldn’t get any cooler. (Also, the Claire/Dratini backstory was an *excellent* touch. 👌🏾)

I would honestly really like if you chamged your starter more often, getting to see a dratini used throughout the whole game made this run super unique

Why is your voice so relaxing?!?! Much love, love the nuzlockes silph!

I knew it was a Httyd naming theme, just from the first Dratini being called Bewilder, favorite childhood movie & show😊

I love that he’s using names from how to train your dragon since it’s a dragon type run

Yo Silph! Its always nice to see u again. Also u finally used the mascot of your channel,Kingdra!:)

I think Brilliant Diamond Grass only would be epic.(Remember to get the national dex before the league. You can get Venusaur, Leafeon, Sceptile etc.)

Great run! Without spoiling: that ending though, damnnnn

My favorite day of the week, and the silph video is amongst the reasons why. Thanks for the upload 👍

Ahhh, Another Silph Sunday. And with emerald? Quite literally the BEST way to start the day off,THANKS FOR BEING AWESOME SILPH!

Substitute strats in E4 especially that glacia fight would've made this very easy, good run still!

Great start to my day! Thank you Silph!

The dratini line is one of my faverites and I was so happy when you said you where using it as a starter

These are always the most dramatic runs on the whole site, what a channel!

i love those videos so much they’re so amusing! thank you!!!

Love a trip to gen 3 with Silph

I love when you revisit Hoenn! That’s the only game I ever sincerely enjoyed in Pokémon

WOAHHH how to train your dragon and dragon types nice

I recommend doing a Grass Type run in BDSP. Six encounters, one of them being a Safari zone one and the RNG necessary to beat some of the trainers makes for a fun run. I did one and would be curious to see how you would tackle it

I look forward to your videos every Sunday! Perfect weekend hangover cure lol

Wait you didn’t get to finish the run Silph😮😮😮 I’ve watched your videos for the past couple weeks and you always manage to finish wow that’s crazy ,great run though

I have never been so early in my life, oh and congrats on the sponsor!

Duuuuude so invested in the video had to watch ⌚️ 🙃🔥

That's Goldeen is gonna give me nightmares

Soooo good, I loved the pacing for his nuzlocke!

Good job with the videos. I think a good idea for a run could be where you could use any pokemon but it has to be under 500 base stat total. Also since BDSP has been out for a while now so please bring back the True Power series!!!!!

Absolutely love these videos and they actually are the reason I have firered, leafgreen, ruby, sapphire, and emerald so thanks Silph ☺️

damn this video came in as overkill as my day couldnt be even better as its my dogs birthday and silph my favorite pokemon youtuber uploads

It is a really interesting run. However I’d like to share with you what I do in my usual playthroughs just cause I think it may make it more fair for you. In my runs I use a heal item if enemy used one (full restore if they used it or max potion etc.) otherwise it just looks unjust as enemy can use a item and you can’t. Anyways greet video ^^

I was devastated when Salamence fainted to that ice beam. Truly tragic!

I liked the idea of starting with a dratini, still feels like a legit run for me and mist importantly, enjoyable to watch

You win some you lose some Silph the run was fun and I really like the starter idea since it makes a lot of sense

Somehow I always end up looking forward to your sponsor messages, I've yet to see any other KZreadr integrate a necessity like that into an amusing part of the video. Loved the run, shame about the ending, but it's not that surprising seeing as how little you had to work with. Kudos for even trying this and making it that far! How about a Sun/Moon run next? Any reason why you're avoiding those games?

I love the How to train your dragon names ❤️

I started a new Ruby run just for the heck of it. Caught me a Zigzagoon and named it HM Master cuz I didn’t wanna it to be a slave anymore lol but watching this video again and seeing that you also named your Zigzagoon HM Master got me shook!

The commentary is so good still laughing

Paralyzing a guts makuhita, thats bold... that was a goddamn lucky fight

God I love your sarcasm and witty comment it just makes this even better 😂

For the person randomly scrolling through the comments... Have a great day!😁

I am loving this kind of challenge for much

I enjoy all the videos but this one was really fun to watch. Emerald is a big personal favorite of mine

Of course the name theme had to be How to Train your Dragons lol Its perfect xD

my reasoning for dragons leveling up so late was always because dragons are very long live so that's just a natural time for that stage
