Pokémon Renegade Platinum Hardcore Nuzlocke - My First Attempt! (No items, No overleveling) 

Me: "Oh cool, the nicknames are all food themed!" Flygon: *names machop Flesh*

Just brought my first baby son home today. While he's sleeping I'm gonna watch this video. Thanks for being a part of this day Dr. Flygon!

It’s so underrated how funny FlygonHG is. I’m ten minutes in laughing my ass off at shit like “N Chips” and “Foy Grass”

“Feebas is… a guaranteed encounter.” That sounds like heaven. Edit: I guess that in a Dupe clause Nuzlocke POV, Feebas is all but guaranteed, but it’s not as easy as “fish once at the shore”

Once again, Flygon with a ridiculously high effort video every weekend. Thank you so much for all the content.

The legacy has arrived. Renegade Platinum, Volume 1 A film by Quentin Tarantino Starring Dr. Flygon as Uma Thurman

An hour long FlygonPHD video? On Saturday? Before finals week?… oh yeah, it’s all coming together

Pop Rocks spent their last moments letting off a monstrous discharge that crit twice and paralyzed once and i respect it

Holy moly. I had watched a bit of the streams and knew this was going to be a monumental video, but did not expect it to be so long as to be in parts. This one is already 80 minutes long. It was quite a journey I suppose. Very excited to see indeed.

01:04 Personally I love this format of several hour long videos of a Pokemon playthrough. It's great for multytasking, and I can watch a few minutes at a time or a few hours at a time on a case by case basis.

When I saw it was over an hour I was like “ok.” Then you said this run would be longer. “Ok.” Then you said it was part one… “Holy mother of cows Batman!”

Very impressive run Flygon. I loved seeing you improve and getting through these obstacles. Keep up the great work

Honestly, my only problem with most rom hack HN videos is that most youtubers only cover the gym leaders and don't really touch on other fights, the main strategies of the fights and other nuances of the game, so a much longer and in-depth look on these games is just what I was looking for

16:57 "Do what you want, but don't judge other people " isn't just an advice for nuzlocke, it's an advice for life in general

I needed to hear that ending monologue; I wiped a Brilliant Diamond Nuzlocke _ages_ ago (as in, within a few months of its release) and have been avoiding another attempt out of fear and frustration, which brought my own personal challenge of nuzlocking every generation in reverse order to a halt. Hopefully I can pull myself out of that much sooner.

I've been hoping poketubers would start posting the full runs for a while now and I never thought I'd get it, definitely going to chew through that playlist like no tomorrow

Even when it isn't a R/S/E Nuzlocke, Nosey gets mentioned Love this Flygon, please keep it up

i respect the hell outa you beating renegade platinum IN A NUZLOCKE your vids amazing

I followed most of the Nuzlocke over on the VOD and Highlights channels, but I'm always excited for the FlygonHG Nuzlocke Narration. Your wit sir is unmatched. Was not expecting Daddy Stone's letter at the 10:27 mark, but I always appreciate the Nosey Expanded Universe lore. Or the pure-bred Nosepass reference right after.

"Gliscor is one of the best Pokemon in the game." Ah, a man of culture. Subscribed.

flygon u are hands down my fav nuzlocker on youtube, your runs are so well edited and your narration is both incredibly charming and insightful towards the strats u use and the skill of nuzlocking as a whole. absolutely love ur content bro i look forward to it every saturday 👍

This was a huge journey for sure, a blast to witness. RenPlat is an amazing ROM Hack and experiencing it again through your streams and highlights vids was super fun to watch

so glad to see this episode! loved keeping up with the series in vods, can't wait to see how you tied it all together in this behemoth!

I lost my mind at how he celebrated at 25:01 when he saw that the togepi was serene grace instead of hustle lmao

Renegade Platinum is definitely a gem amongst the fan made games for Pokémon. I've done a few monotype runs already, it's super fun.

I’ve been Nuzlocking Shining Pearl, and I lost my Staraptor to Byron. Don’t ask how this happened; I’m mad at myself too. (I also lost my Gible to a wild Kricketune.)

58:43 That Steelix is a menace man. In my blind BDSP hardcore nuzlocke I lost my Infernape to Byron is the exact same way. Flamethrower barely missed the kill, Earthquake, and just to spite me the earthquake crit

I was able to complete my first nuzlocke, Alpha Sapphire! And I want to thank you for inspiring me to do it! Keep up the good work!

Doing a casual play through of renegade platinum right now, and it’s crazy how much I am enjoying it. It’s definitely become my favorite Pokémon game, period.

Hey man, as someone who very regularly watches this exact sort of content and has done for well over half a decade, the fact that RU-vid was only able to make me aware of your existence 2 weeks or so ago (when you already had over 300k subs) is utterly baffling, but I'm glad YT finally picked up the slack because youve fast become one of my favourite channels. Thanks for all you do, keep it up :)

I was honoured to name N'Chips on stream 🤗

Me patiently waiting for part 2 to drop even though I already watched the whole playthrough. Thanks 1 Ball HG for all the great content. Seriously I think I speak for alot of people when I say, we can see how much effort you put into your videos and runs. Also we appreciate your honesty when you maybe make an error. Absolutely my favorite Nuzlocker and it was you and Jaiden animations that inspired me to do my first hardcore nuzlocke. So for all of these things thank you and I look forward to your continued success.

I've been planning to do my own nuzlocke of this game, but going through this video and watching the previous ones made me realize that I've still got a lot to learn. I really love how you clearly explain your strategies for the battles, even to the finer details. Looking forward to your next videos on renegade platinum!

So glad I was able to follow this magnificent challenge live and with recaps, it’s been a heck of a journey. I can’t believe you managed to edit ALL THAT content! Good job, man. I’m so glad I found your channel back when I got into nuzlocking.

16:17 Of all the things I never expected to see in a Pokémon game, that scene from MGS2 is pretty high on the list.

The risk of failure is what makes these challenges so compelling. I'm really glad you have such a good response to loss; you process it a lot better than I do. I look forward to the next video!

I like how the deaths align with the gym badges pretty accurately.

I’m SO happy to see this!! I have been really hoping this would become a main channel video at some point. Thank you for all your hard work, your videos are a highlight for me every week!

i was honestly startled when you said "moonblast" in a normal voice

Can't believe it's finally here, I followed it through the vods and streams, I know how much it took and that was an amazing challenge. Thanks for this.

I loved watching the entire series on the highlights channel cant wait to see the entire series made into a couple long videos cant wait to watch it all.

That Wake battle had me on the edge of my seat! I love battles like that were the plan goes wrong but smart improv and a bit of luck saves it

phenomenal video as always Flygon!! i was glad to have been there for a good portion of this attempt. it was fun. this rom hack was a breath of fresh air. good luck on the attempt(s) to follow!! looking forward to the next part of this series

Little thing, but I appreciate how Flygon always makes sure to properly gender his pokemon, including the genderless ones. Just good vibes and nice attention to detail

Raichu AND Drapions nature ended up with them dying :( that minus attack nature for sure is why steelix didn't die. Drapion is incredible especially with battle armor so sucks you lost it

Cracking video. Dipped in and out of the highlights and streams for this challenge but had been really looking forward to the full version, that final battle was epic!

Thank you for your amazing content. Watching this video while working on my uni paper killed my anxiety. Looking forward to the second attempt! Keep up the good work Dr FlygonHG !

I love the long videos. It is like a hangout instead of a quick visit. I appreciate your work HG!

I've been binging these videos for the past few weeks because they're all so fantastic. Well narrated, interesting strategies, and snarky humor. And I'm very happy to see in this new video: Flygon still has not clicked the link to "Metapod" in the species/dupes clause screenshot.

Watched your time with Renegade Platinum all the way through on the Highlights channel, and I can't wait to get to watch it again here!

Watched a good chunk of the vods, and every single one of the highlights videos, and I’m still so excited for this!! Flygon’s content is undefeated

I always look forward to your uploads as the most entertaining nuzlocker on RU-vid, so hearing this 80-minute video was part 1 is great news! Thanks for all the content and effort ⭐️

Probably the best channel I'm subscribed to right now. Amazing content, can't wait for attempt 2!

I´m so excited for these videos. You are my favorite Nuzlocker because of your humor and how you explain the things. I cant wait to see the other Parts of this journey aswell :)

I watched all the highlights on the other channel but just wanted to support the main one as well. You’re an awesome nuzelocker man and this play through was awesome. Can’t wait to see more rom hack stuff. Ggs!

I adored watching this first run on the second channel, and It was super great to watch it all again here!! and I cannot wait to see the next videos for this either, your runs of renegade platinum were a delight to watch! As for this video though - I Got so attatched to Chorizo, Salt, and Eclair, They were definitely my faves of the run they all put in some really solid work! ❤ The fact you got so damn far on the very first run was incredible to watch, and the next run only gets better too! I'm usually a bit of a lurker and very bad at writing comments, but amazing stuff as always Dr. Flygon!

I can't believe you caught every Pokemon with just one PokeBall! What incredible luck!

This video is extremely well made. Good job to you and anyone else who helped. I did also watch all of the highlights videos, but this was still very fun to watch. Good job on the run too, you're very good at planning out these battles, and it is very fun to watch that.

Oh hell yeah here it is! Can't wait to see the video, I couldn't catch the streams and I don't have enough time to see all the run on the second channel this is perfect! As always thanks for the entartainment Dr Flygon I'm sure editing such an enormous video took a lot of time!

I think this was a really strong first attempt! And also it's a very noble way to take one for the team and show us others who want to try renegade platinum what can happen in this game, so thank you for your sacrifice, sir

I really enjoyed seeing you playing a more difficult game, the vanilla games are super cool with the self-imposed monolocke rulesets, but I like seeing how you strategize for fights with more tools at your disposal

this video was incredible. so much strategy and thinking went into this. I cant wait for the next installment of your 2nd attempt and see what you have in store with us. Hope next video drops in a week or so! ty for this vid

I enjoyed hardcoring this myself about a year ago, it's actually not to hard but has major spikes that can catch you out especially the elite four and wake with his swift swim. Haven't watched the vid yet, but I'm sure it's a banger.

Yooo Flygon making a multi-part masterpiece. Im excited for this! Keep up the work my dude!

Glad to see these videos already coming out! Loved watching this run live so looking forward to these videos.

ive already been watching the highlights but im sooo hyped to hear the commentary in a full length series of videos!!

Really enjoyed this a lot!! Looking forward to the future parts! Good work!

There are so many top-notch pokemon romhacks in the same style as renegade platinum. So excited to potentially see you tackle more of them. Loved this and can't wait for more!

Just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos man. They've become part of my weekly routine and I always look forward to your uploads. Keep up the great work!

This was an awesome video. Thank you for all your hard work I greatly appreciate the entertainment you provide! Better luck next time, can't wait for the next video!

This was a series I loved to watched as it came out, and I'm looking forward to rewatching it through this lens.

This is a really cool game I love hearing your strategies going into these crazier fights. I also like seeing your live facecam reactions they’re pretty funny. Looking forward to the rest of these runs.

I swear if Scnnitzel isn’t on the thumbnail for attempt two, I will cry. I loved that damn fossil o7 Scnnitzel, you will be missed

I am super excited to watch this again a second time! The highlights version was already extremely entertaining, I can't wait to see the official videos.

Thanks Dr. FlygonHG, hope Covid recovery goes well!

Awesome editing awesome storytelling. Even though it is sad this attempt died I'm hyped to see the next and what you decide to do with it. Good luck on the next run, awesome content!

You and @PokemonChallenges are my two favorite Nuzlocke content creators by FAR. I’m so glad you’re branching out into harder games, your intellect deserves that challenge. Great watch!

I followed along with all the highlights videos for this run. I’m excited to see it condensed down into a few videos. This was such a cool run and inspired me to do my own nuzlocke for the first time in soul silver.

I didn't get to tune into EVERY stream but I'm so excited this series is finally happening!! Such a good journey!

I’ve been waiting for this vid. Love platinum and the rom hacks

Have to appreciate all of the effort that goes into all of your videos, of course, but this challenge is especially tough, and I'm really excited to see it! Drayano hacks are no joke, for sure, 0 shame on having to do multiple attempts (even just subliminally; they're tailored to upend what you think you know about pokemon, after all) and even with the preface this was a wonderful watch just to see how far you would get (the Flash Fire foreshadowing had me in anticipation for a *while* too! You're really good at embedding hooks into the early game that get the audience invested) and this is a *very* respectable place to have gotten on the first try. I love your monolockes (and other theme-teams) and look forward to those in the future, but this feels like just the thing to shake up your strategies in a good way and thank you for editing these down and bringing us along for the ride

Great first attempt! Excited to see the next one and until you ultimately win the run!

I know you have mentioned before liking the theory crafting and planning oarts of nuzlocks so I'm just curious if you have ever played fire emblem or another tactical rpg? Not for the channel or anything just in general I feel like you might like them

The musical timing at 1:10:13 is amazing

This is great man, challenging stuff like this is what the genre needed.

I've seen these live streams before but it's nice to see the summarized version cause I went on that rollercoaster with you live.

1:05:05 I love this graphic! It would be v fun to see these more for important fights :D

It was so fun watching this unfold episodically, and it’s so cool seeing it all again in a singular video!

I have been looking forward to this video for so long! Absolutely loved playing Renegade platinum myself so i am exited!

You continue to inspire me to Nuzlocke. This came on while I was mowing the grass yesterday so as soon as I was done I had to give it a go. Renegade Really is an amazing game. Thank you for the great content

For attempt 2, you should really consider going with Torterra for crit immunity chance and make the Johto choice Cyndaquil. Apparently it got the bulk of love for upgrades and does a ridiculous amount of damage, especially if it gets adaptability. Unleash death in that 12 v 12 with lava plumes!

I got tired of waiting, wondering if Pokemon Renegade Platinum was ever coming around, My faith in FlygonHG was fading, till I saw this thumbnail on the outskirts of town

This was a crazy run through renegade platinum I played along side you and it was one of the most difficult rom hacks I've ever played but really fun. It's great to sit back and see the journey you went thru cuz it was quite the journey indeed

I'm not the kind of person to watch livestreams so I couldn't wait to see those videos, glad to see you challenging the good shit there is there to nuzlocke, especially that I'm now playing my second hardcore nuzlocke and vanilla Emerald is really tough for me, I hope someday I'm able to strategise more similar to your level!

Can't wait for part 2 Flygon, you had a great first run

I watched most of this live and I'm still super excited to watch this

This was an absolute blast to watch, keep up the amazing work !!

It was a real pleasure reviewing this playthrough thank you for your work it's much appreciated

22:17 Never underestimate my boy Ledian. I feel bad for Matti, but anytime I see a Ledian get a W, I have to celebrate it. :)
