Pokémon Emerald Hardcore Nuzlocke - Inverted Type Match-Ups (No items, No overleveling)

Grass types: Our time is now brethren!!!!

The whole point of nuzlockes, in the beginning, was to tell stories. I remember reading the original nuzlocke webcomic years ago. The failed runs are as important as the victories. If every story ended in victory, what would be the point of telling them?

Just realizing that normal types are godly in this challenge, they'd just have a ghost weakness and be able to hit everything else (including ghost) for either neutral or super effective damage.

These personalized letters from Steven are getting more ridiculous every time. I love it. 7:55 for those who missed it.

Guess when Flygon tried catching Wurmple he didn’t crit around the play

But wait, this is the inverse challenge... Doesn't wiping mean that you actually won? Stupid jokes aside, congrats on the 200K Flygon! And thanks for the consistently good content, you bring a smile to my face every time you upload. In the last year you've become one of my favorite content creators, and I'm sure many other people here can say the same. Keep up the good work!

i think losing in the inverse locke was kinda poetic, in normal nuzlockes you usually win, so it would make sense to lose in the inverse nuzlocke

Uncle Jimtendo should make a special version that has trick room permenantly active in every battle. Would be a cool nuzlocke i think!

i really love how many unique challenges you've been doing in the past few months, which aren't just monolockes. they're really unique to watch!

The letter to Steven: "Dear Steven, I'm at an all time low. The divorce papers came in and it looks like your step-mother and I will be officially separated in the eyes of the law by the time you get this letter. I know it's been a long time coming and I shouldn't be surprised. But a small part of me thought that we'd make it through this. A small part of me thought that she just needed to blow off some steam. That's why I paid for her flight to Sinnoh. So that she could explore other relationships and find that what we had was special. But I was wrong. What do these Probopass have that I don't? Is it really worth throwing away everything we had? Worth walking away from her son? I'm so alone. All I have for comfort is Nosey's hugs. But he socks at hugs. Because he's half Nosepass. It's like hugging a giant rock with flailing human limbs. Pretty creepy actually. I know you won't return home, and I respect that. But I'm your Dad. So, I'll keep sending child postmen to let you know that I love you. Love, Daddy Stone."

the locke was really creative and also, the "in memorial" section at the end is something really cute I'd like to see more times good job, matti!!💙

“As easy as taking babies from candies” got me

Funny thing that in this specific challenge... Groudon actually was winning.

I always love the Hoenn runs because the Nosey letters are always so great

Bug types were finally gonna be good. But normal came in saying “allow me to introduce myself”

Id like to point out that Daddy Stone is really just trying his best to be a good father. To Steven and Nosey

Days when flygon uploads makes me want to nuzlocke pokemon. Then I realise I'm ass at pokemon and decide to binge more nuzlockes ive watched 1000 times. Thanks flygon!!!

Might I recommend a Pokémon ultra moon nuzlocke with only Pokémon that change type when they evolve? As in a type gets swapped like Onix getting rid of its rock type for steel when evolving into Steelix Ultra moon is unique in that it has practically every Pokémon that changed type expect for the poster children of the gimmick: nincada and azuril. (And some Pokémon with regional forms that were added later) What’s also interesting about this is the encounter layout as only rowlet and Onix are found on Melemele island, with the remaining are spilt evenly between Akala and Poni island, and no encounters on Ula’Ula. Which means you have to get through Olivia’s trail up to the Lusamine fight with 7 available Pokémon at best before suddenly opening a bunch of new dragon type encounters. On the plus side, the Pokémon available aren’t the most commonly used Pokémon The Pokémon that change type are the following: Rowlet (swaps flying for ghost) Onix (found via island scan on Sunday) (swaps rock for steel) Eevee (swaps normal for another type) Surskit (swaps water for flying) Ralts (found via island scan on Tuesday) (swaps it’s fairy for fighting) (dawn stone isn’t until after necrozma) Fletchling (swaps normal for fire) Cubone (swaps ground for fire and ghost) Larvitar (swaps ground for dark) Scyther (swaps flying for steel) Exeggcute (swaps psychic for dragon) Dragalge (swapped water for dragon) (also ultra moon exclusive) Altaria (swapped normal for dragon) (only found in red portals in ultra space) Drapion (swapped bug for dark) (only found in green portals in ultra space)

“Taborc: the blind” Poor taborc getting the whole run blamed on it lol 😂

I see the title, and I’m already excited! Seeing a FlygonHG video always makes my day a little better.
