Absolutely loved that series. I loved how the fantasy theme was completely embraced without feeling overwhelming. And the power system felt perfect. The main villain had a good reason for being so powerful that obeyed the laws of the universe, and his defeat was just as consistent with the established rules. Not to mention the whole war aspect was very well planned. It really felt like we were there planning the war with them. 10/10 book series. Would recommend to anyone

Yeah I can see why you didn't do this in Emerald x3 Wallace would have probably destroyed you. Also, Pokémon X using Ghost Types! Would be cool to see you use Shedinja and even Mega Gengar~

Video Idea: Hardcore Nuzlocke with only trade evolution mons. In this challenge, you are allowed to evolve all the Pokémon as it would be near impossible to only use middle evolutions. I think it would be cool to mix it up and do a Nuzlocke not relating to type. Your team could be really cool, Gengar, Golem, Machamp, etc.

Not that hard, Kadabra is quite good that it's pretty much a baby alakazam in lower tiers, same thing with Haunter, Graveler can be quite bulky with an eviolite, and machoke is still decent. Also if we also count all the item trade evolutions, Scyther is amazing as an attacker or as a bulky bug type, Rhydon is also amazing and can be a swap out for Graveler. The worst ones would be Onyx, the gen 6 ones and Feebas.

A while ago, FlygonHG did one in Emerald. Took him four attempts, but he won. On the first attempt, he lost to May on Route 110 because he accidentally got too much Exp. Points against Roxanne so he missed out on Mud Shot and then he lost Basalt the Nincada to Brawly's Makuhita. In the second, Brawly defeated him because he accidentally got too high of a level on Marshtomp. In the third, he lost to Wallace because he accidentally got a crit on Wailord with Earthquake on Dwayne the Swampert.

Your nuzlocke videos are easily my favourite . Long enough that it doesn’t feel like you rushed what happened during the run, but also not so long that they feel like they drag on. Also your commentary is just really entertaining.

I swear, watching these videos of yours has made me a better pokemon player, also, one of the very first challenge runs I ever did (actually quite recently) was a ground-type run in OR. A very good video!

Love this naming theme so much! The Inheritance cycle is so gooood. Though I have to say, wouldn't Fírnen have been a better choice of a nickname for Flygon? Since he's green and all? 😅

As soon as I saw the name Brom, I got nervous for your Nincada.

Well done! I'm glad you evolved Golem. With these videos, it's more fun to see a type's true power. ✌️

great video. i just love the way u commentating through out the run. Really funny. Watched so many of ur video and rewatched so many times too. Cant seem to get bored by ur video. Keep up the good work.

Oh my God my heart literally started pounding when you named your Pokemon after Dragon's brother, confirming this playthrough has inspiration from my favorite series of all time. Thank you, those nicknames made me feel all warm and teary.

Really enjoying your channel. Of all things, I became interested in your preview thumbnail and the color schemes you use for each video. Your jokes and general enthusiasm consistency with each video keep me interested for the entirety, as well as your research and knowledge of AI's teams and item locations for preparations. Enjoying the videos :)

Sandslash being Murtagh made me laugh so much... I get it, "edgy" af lol

I love the fact that you used names from the Inheritance-Cycle. It's probably one of my favorite-Book-Series of all time ^^

Perfect timing, i just saw the flying nuzlocke in sword again and as it finished i saw this was uploaded !

Your naming theme is my favorite book series ever, thank you for this awesome surprise!

Sandslash is my all time favorite pokemon! It's so cool to see it being used in a challenge like this

I've just met Brom and I already love him. Such a champ taking on the first gym alone =) ETA: My heart is broken. My day is ruined. RIP little Nincada.

Silph narrative and humor are sooo funny and refreshing.

I finally finished reading the Inheritance Cycle a few years ago. Really cool to see it being shout out!

you're telling me there's an alternative timelines where SilphSpectre has a numel mascot

The Inheritance Cycle are my favourite novels of all time. Glad to see and hear these names again. Really enjoyed this vid. Gen III was one of the best.

LOVED the naming scheme! I remember those books fondly, and my older brother & I were huge nerds for the series, and the one-off pc game. Great vid

Aaaah an Eragon naming theme. Reminds me when I read the three first books as a teenager and then bought the fourth years later, couldn’t remember enough details from the previous books and so I went on a marathon read of all four during a summer month. Good times haha

I haven't thought about Eragon in like 5 years, I remember beating the video game and walking home in the rain with the first two books that I had just bought

That final fight Cradily has always given me problems.

Absolutely love the naming theme these are my all time favorite books and I remember reading them while playing through emerald. Ahh, the memories

There are so many cool ground types for this run, honestly super excited for this one!

In the uh... no one ever wants to acknowledge it's existence, Eragon Movie, Brom says that Eragon is "One part brave, Three parts fool!", I laughed at your Mudkips' Brave nature!

Love this, some of my favourite ever pokemon are Ground types, including my favourite ever, Donphan. So glad you had one on your team

20:25 though xD. Funniest shit ever! Why is there nobody else appreciating this?

I loved reading the Eragon series. Personally, I feel like it would have been better if you did it on a dragon hardcore nuzlocke, but either way it was amazing

Watching this a year later, content is still super solid man. Thanks for the effort.

Glaedr having less speed is kinda great considering the lore of the golden dragon 😂 I love it.

Literally no reason to go hardcore at the start yet this legend still did

Great naming theme on this one. Made the commentary that much better

The Inheritance cycle are some of my favorite books, so this naming theme was awesome. Love your content homie!

Silph always makes my Sundays better. Thank you for your services brother. U inspired me to play nuzlockes

love your hardcore nuzlocks videos. Could you do a hardcore nuzlocks of dragon types for sword or shield?

My boi Donphan taken out the aggron with ease is an example why donphan is one of my fav Pokémon ever, my fav non legend gen 2..... and just a beefcake

So I think a good nuzlock to run would be using only KZreadr Mascots like you using kingdra, using swampert for zwiggo, ect.

Brom taking the sac was very fitting. Favorite book series!!

25:21 - Dude, forget the old guy. Who's gonna tell that SCIENTIST he just broke PHYSICS?

8:07 made me audibly laugh haha you keep the jokes fresh each run!

Me some time ago: [finishes catching up with Silph's Hardcore Nuzlocke series] Also me: Well... now what? A new video: [appears relatively soon after] Me: Well, that was quick.

Glaedr never survived anyways... should have expected that

To answer your comment about meteor falls, it's shown in the manga that it's open on the top of the falls, makes sense you can't see it from the entrance of the cave as the waterfalls (which are directly under the openings) are so far in.

Yeah, this run was indeed fun. The score is now 27/5 for you. Good work. Side note, I always enjoy how you make your runs, what with the jokes and such you toss around. You are quite entertaining, my man. XD

Inheritance Cycle naming theme. Probably one of my fav series growing up, know he was around my age when he wrote his first book was amazing

I’d love to see a hardcore nuzlock of B2 or W2 in challenge mode. You choose the type.

Amazing nickname reference. From one amazing series to another
