Gen 8 Pokemon fashion was a mistake.
The character designs from Pokemon Sword & Shield tell some bizarre stories, especially when you zoom in. No main series Pokemon game has done it quite like this--for better and for worse.
I make a new Pokemon fashion video every other month. Now that we're reaching the current generation, I'll be reviewing spin-off games next. In the meantime I do vlogs, comedy, Nintendo stuff, and apparently card games now. Like and subscribe if you narrowly avoided making a very bad decision regarding Klara.

    I love these kind of videos. Haven't been playing much since 2017 and only picked the game up again at the end of last year. The game has changed a lot, so I resort to netdecking and guides a lot. It sucks to play something you didn't create or fully understand yourself, even if it works. Hopefully I can get better at deck building with this.

    • @MarkThePage
      @MarkThePage День назад

      Pick just one deck that you enjoy, and practice solitaire until you understand what every card does and why. Then you'll be able to focus better on how the opponent's cards play out, and from there it'll be easier to spot gameplay patterns. Like "the self-summoning searcher", "the material that summons itself back", or "the link-1 that searches the field spell". When you know what tropes to expect, learning new decks will be easier, and you'll be able to anticipate what kinds of cards your deck-in-progress could benefit from. When building combos, Yugipedia's Tips pages help by listing what a card can be searched by.

      I don't plan to build for Red-Eyes Inferno because it looks underwhelming, Red-Eyes has a better skill from Nightshroud, and Joey's skills from Streets already synergize with the Red-Eyes engine while also representing his character more fully. I think it's one of the few duds from Finals, but maybe someone will prove me wrong. Kaiba will be up as soon as I've found viable builds... which is not going well.

    • @MarkThePage
      @MarkThePage 3 дня назад

      To me the flame colors implied a fire-type trainer. They clashed so much with the black and white magician motif that I had no idea of which type he was supposed to be representing. To pull off a clashing design like that, the viewer needs something to latch onto--some kind of "base design" which the clashing elements then throw off. But there is no base to Avery's design. The colors are used just as much as the black and white. The black is used as a base color just as much as a complement. Just as much sporty as formal. The overall vibe is supposed to be asymmetrical, but the individual pieces are all in equal measure. A good design draws our attention somewhere, then leads us on a story; Avery's gives us nowhere to start and no path to follow. So those are some of my extended Avery thoughts...

    As someone who like using Crossout Designator I've found that running 2 copies of your targets is better than 1. The problem with running 1 you defeat the purpose of Crossout because you need to banish from deck, so if you open the card it's dead. The only exception I argue is running 3 Ash/Droll so you can beat the over priced Mulcharmy crap.

      I did forget to include a note about maxing out knights in a control build so it'll be safe to banish a few for Court of Cards to draw... As for deck lists, sorry, we're just going to disagree there. Even if it frustrates or disappoints, that's the style I decided on a long time ago and deck lists can be found on other sites. I think it applies even more to Speed Duel because decks are smaller and most players will have a wider collection to work with due to the box set model. Going forward I will try to do a better job of guiding viewers who are nervous about building their own decks.
