Flamigo Backport - How fast can I beat Pokémon Crystal? - Pokémon Crystal Solo Challenge

Overlays made with @kangaskdan 's help! Thanks Dan!

Chat/Comment Guidelines:
1: Respect each other, do not intentionally cause arguments and diffuse the situation immediately.
2: Please no backseat gaming. If I need help, I will ask the chat for help. A lot of the fun for myself and the viewers is coming up with the strategies on my own and solving problems in my own unique way.
3: Listen to the creator. If I say stop, I mean stop, and move the discussion on.
4: Please don't reference other creators' in-jokes and running gags in the comments. Just as much as I wouldn't like another creator using my lore, I would find it disrespectful to use other creators' lore.
5: Moderators' and streamer's decisions are final.

The Rules:
1: The timer starts when walking away from Professor Elm after receiving the starter Pokémon.
2: Only the Challenge Pokémon may participate in battle.
3: No items in battle, except Balls from the bag.
4: No evasion-increasing TMs, and no Rest and Sleep Talk TMs until every other option has been exhausted.
5: No intentional uses of glitches or exploits, except the Teleport glitch after the SS Aqua.
6: No Rare Candies until facing Red. Rare Candies will be used in a 3-3-4 pattern.
7: Timer may be paused for breaks in recording, but no inputs may be made when the timer is paused.
8: Save states are permitted in the overworld, but no save states may be used mid-battle.
9: If the challenge Pokémon faints, the previous save state must be reloaded and progress regained.

Aviator Squidgy, first of his name, liar of the fliers, second of his title, keeper of birds, lord of the backports and protector of the challenge run.

Lmao that backsprite is so goofy. Poor beaktile dysfunction.

[geraltofrivia]

Such relaxing videos for times of stress. Thanks Squidgy <3

[ondank]

Bird keeper squidgy is a great name.

Its honest unlike a certain liar who just needs to be true to himself and acknowledge that he loves him a flyer.

Bird Domination!!! Great run, Squidgy!
When I first caught this Pokemon in Scarlet, I thought: "What a goofy looking birb." But then it continued to slay everything in its path, and stayed on my team until the end of the run! Thanks, friend!

[Poke_Brute]

Just found your channel. awesome to see more people doing solo runs especially for crystal! This was a fantastic video!

[DwunD]

I remember the day Scarlett and Violet came out. A buddy of mine came over after his work day (i was unfortunately still unemployed at the time). This was one of the first Pokémon he caught in the game, along with Charcadet. I was so jealous I couldn't find one lol

[davidettles]

Taunting Umbreon in the last video, and now one shotting it on this one. Must feel great.

[hernanbernabe]

Squidy the flying type specialst. It's interesting how well the flying type does in this generation. Great video!

[Kanbei]

Have you considered designing your own fakemon for a run? Set a limit on BST but everything else is fair game. Appreciate it would take a while though

Edit: we welcome a new member to the one shot Karen's umbreon club - it's somewhat exclusive

I was watching you around 2 years ago and there is no question that your voiceover has become better and 1:30 was considered an amazing and almost unbeatable time

[AstronoMETV]

You're well on your way to becoming the next Liar with the Fliers, Squidgy.

[BenjaminGlatt]

People think it's supposed to be a flamingo, but it's actually a roadrunner.

[adventureoflinkmk]

16:00 69 nice... but ya missed the nice 😞

[MobileGamingChronicles]

5:58 I'll pick up here later, I got to get back to work.

[aledjango]

The liar used secret potion on the accuracy of air slash

[andersonantunesdeleu]

Honestly, I don't think a sub-hour time is reachable for any Pokemon. Look how fast Squidgy has run through the game, yet it wasn't close to a sub-hour. Squidgy did it all extremely fast. For me, the sub 1:10 is more than excellent! Furthermore, I think that's as best as it can be.

[MobileGamingChronicles]

It must be a range to 1 shot Scyther from full health with Peck. Still, no problem with Bugsy.

[drchops_]

Bro. Who made flamigo so angry that it swept T H A T hard???

[StevenDaniels]

Honestly idc what anyone says I love this dumb goofy pokemon.

[danielross]

Have you done a video on the back port sabeleye you have on your website? I played through it as it is one of my favorite ever Pokémon! I’d love to watch you run it to see how it does! ❤
