Totem of undying

I mean he is a black belt 😅

yummy bug

Dryad?

Executive producer Larry David?? Lmao

Adding a little bit of content from a newer game to an older game is not a demake. It’s like calling a game that got small updates and visual enhancements a remake. The whole thing has to be rebuilt to a new visual standard to make it a remake or demake, without straying too far from the original except for the graphics.

Woah

._.?

Yay, something to listen to while I play PKMN Y

I commented before on another of your videos, and forgot to leave a comment here, but Game Freak clearly didn't care much for fire types, and I don't get it. Two minutes, without looking it up, think of ten fire proof materials, now think of how many things can be lit on fire. It's the easiest type to come up with, besides maybe grass if you don't live in a desert, or water if you do live on an island/by a beach. Maybe if you live in the rain forest you can think of a bunch of bugs.

this version has not yet achieved a sufficient amount of trumpets

Never played donkey Kong. So how is it that, after 25 years of life. Getting a beautiful woman to love me and bare two beautiful kids for us, have I found in a video format the sounds which echoed in my physiological being my entire life. As if by some developer needed a sound for the load screen and now. I'm not stuck loading anymore. I'm allowed to play and finally experience, the experience.

I almost always defeat every trainer in this area for EXP.

I don't get it....u must be a millennial

Didn't know I need this.

STUPID!

No area is useless in Pokemon, I always go there after the Cycling Road and beating Fuchsia Gym just to clean up all the trainers and get all the items there.

I like how Falkner was on the list of toughest gym leaders from that Google result you did (despite the fact that he is infamously easy lol).

Ha i ran through this bum 🤣

My friend poison be tanky wdym. It’s a great secondary type if you want to 4x resist something.

Stone miss missed throw Miss wrecker Miss tomb Miss slide Hey at least there's 20bp smack down

The balance of these games is and always has been ABYSMAL. We didn't even talk about Ice types or how the impact of Bug types generally having low base stat totals. How crazy is it to have fully evolved Pokemon vary anywhere from 300-600 base stat totals (not including legendaries that are higher). It just ensures the majority of Pokemon will be useless. Every time they added another type to fix a problem they created more problems than they solved... EVERY SINGLE TIME. Even worse, if they can't fix their dumb type chart they could at least utilize abilities a bit better. We have examples of Levitate (makes you immune to a single type) or Thick Fat (50% damage reduction to more than one type). So let's imagine a type combo that has far too many weaknesses... you could use a "thick fat" like ability to make them have a reasonable number. Let's imagine if it is a type combo with multiple 4x weaknesses... you could create an ability that only allows type advantages to do up to 2x damage.... OR you could have an ability that halves the super effective damage they take (meaning only the multiple 4x weaknesses are now turned into 2x weaknesses). You can make ANY type combination work by using abilities in this way. Heck, you could even make a tanky Ice type by not having to fix the terrible type chart by just giving an ability that reduces all damage in half... they have sooo many weaknesses, no resistances, and a type combo with Ice is likely to have multiple 4x weaknesses that it will just turn a bad type combo with Ice into the equivalent of a decent type. In fact, why the heck is Super Effective damage 2x to begin with? That is WAAAY to high, especially when you consider double weaknesses take it up to 4x damage and the fact that offense is too powerful in general. Why is the STAB bonus so freaking high? Some benefit is great but 50% is too much, especially since all these benefits can stack on top of one another. No wonder there are so many one shots in this game. Then, we can get into the complete lack of consideration of how many of each type goes into a game. We have a number of generations with a TON of Water types that are lackluster and similar while only having one or two of useable fire types. Certain generations only have like one or two of certain types, such as ghost or dragon. We have gen 1 with a ton of poison types, while something like gen 3 has a ton of dark types, and both gens have too many terrible water types. It's just all over the place and there is no rhyme or reason to any of it. On top of all of it, they won't even admit there is power creep. They won't acknowledge how powerful offense is, and continue to add items like the "choice" scarf/band/specs that not only increases the value of all out offense at the cost of strategy, but actively REDUCES strategy since they lock you into only using a single move. I mean... look at high level play and how many one shots occur. This should NEVER be happening in a balanced game, and it means when a defensive Pokemon actually is good it has to be just ridiculous and insane. Then they put gimmicks on top that take it to the next level, like giving the already good Pokemon a mega evolution, or dynamaxing, or Z moves. They even used the gimmick of changing your type instead of just biting the bullet and balancing the type tree lol. What a joke. Then we have the pitiful options for moves that are available, where they insist on either base power too low to be useful, or moves that just have insane amounts of base power. This at least has gotten better as time goes on, but if they would just have more moves in the game with varying base power levels you can do some balance by determining who has access to the higher base power moves. For instance, if they insist on some Pokemon having super low base stats, they should be the ones to gain access to the super powerful moves at higher levels.... that would at least create some semblance of balance. But no... a Pokemon is either feast or famine. It is either given ridiculous moves/coverage/stats/abilities or it's terrible and can't compete. This isn't rocket science. I have made my own type chart with my own types, and if I could do the programming and had the resources to make my own game it would blow theirs out of the water. These games are lazy cash grabs at this point and the quality keeps getting worse and worse.

Bug and ice types are totally fucked, even to this very day they're almost useless.

Would it have really killed them to bring Rock Climb back from the dead, then make it Rock-type like it always should’ve been (there’s millions of physical Normal moves already, even without HMs), then make it 100% accurate or at least 95% if they’re that adamant, and finally massively increased its distribution among Rock-types, and then boom you killed two birds with one stone. Made a previously useless HM useful whiling also making a more accurate Rock STAB in the process.

Really surprised you never talked about the dead horse that is the Ice-type. We all know that Ice is bar none the worst defensive type in the game (1 resistance vs 4 weaknesses), with Rock being a close second (4 resistances vs 5 weaknesses). People may argue for Grass being down there but its resistances (to Water, Electric, and Ground) are more valuable then the Bug or Poison weaknesses………U-Turn aside, whereas with Rock the weaknesses outweighs the resistances. Anyways, back to Ice-types Most water-types still get any of Ice Beam, Blizzard, Ice Punch or Ice Fang to this day to this thing. Most Ice-types are slow and bulk when the type overall is better off offensively then defensively. Same with again Rock. And Hail was the worst weather cause it did jack (outside of Blizzard and Aurora Veil), until it was replaced with Snow which not only gives Ice-types the once long overdue defense boost, but also no longer forces you use Ice-types anymore. Sand at least let you use more than just Rock-types when it still opened the door for the superior Ground and Steel types to fit in. Hail/Snow’s Swift Swim equivalent Slush Rush also took forever. Sand got theirs in Sand Rush 2 gens before Hail did.

Counterpoint: I love poison types so they're great

As a professional Ground type user GameFreak has been gutting them ever since XY Black was the last time I could play a monotype run with 5-6 teammates from their region But nowadays XY gave us Diggersby and Zygarde Sun and Moon Mudsdale and Palossand (Technically A. Dugtrio and 10% Zygarde) SWSH Only gave us Sandaconda and Runerigus and Galarian Stunfisk Scarlet and Violet though gave us plenty of options but when you think about it Ting-Lu is the only unique Ground Pokémon that doesn’t take inspiration from existing Pokemon but it does get credit for finally gifting me a Ground/Fighting type which is something I have been begging for since Gen 5

Rock type moves piss me off so much, why can waterfall have 100% accuaracy but not rock slide

this video is very important

I see videos raving about the genius of Gamefreak's design, and just laugh. The only thing worse than their design was their coding. I like Pokémon of course. Catching em, trading, hundreds of designs to get attached to, lots of grass, lakes, caves, mountains, rivers, oceans, islands to hunt through, really competitive multiplayer, but these games are the epitome of right place, right time. If someone had managed to come out with a better balanced game in the first two years before word of mouth turned Pokemon into a sleeper hit, that would have been it. No franchise, just a cute, quirky, laughably unbalanced and buggy game pair... That's IT. Bug types sucked so much for the first three generations because Game Freak was so frustrated with the overwhelming amount of bugs in their codes! The most ironed out of the 2D games, Black and White, is also the one where bugs start gaining ground with a vengeance! Still don't get why they hated fire types so much, though. They weren't even bad, mechanic wise, but there were hardly any to choose from! Diamond and Pearl might as well have said "Pick Ponyta or Chimchar!"

🏌️‍♀️⛳

You missed Ice types being bad until Gen 9 and Normal and Psychic are more commonly seen as bottom 5 types because of their short comings in certain matchups

Toxic stopped being wide spread after Gen 7 very few non poison type mons get it in Gens 8 & 9. On top of it, Poison types also have 100% accurate toxic vs 90% with everything else

1:32 "they're not awful moves" ... my dude yes they are... Those moves are terrible 😂

Poison got way better when fairy type came around

One of the worst types right now its the psychic type because game freak nerfed it too hard in gen 2, dark shouldnt be imune to it, just resisting would be fine

I think it's interesting that there's this concept that weak bug evolve early, which isn't true at all. It's basically just the first route bugs. Those being Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Scatterbug, & Krickitot. The many other weak bugs still somehow evolve much later, towards the high teens or even in the 20s. Which just makes them outpaced all around. And plenty more evolve in the 30s into something still rather weak, especially by that point in the game. Such as Venomoth.

Ice and bug should hit fairies for super effective damage.

3:40 So Do I.

I'm convinced Game Freak hates the Electric type, too. They're always slow, frail Physical attackers despite Electric barely having any physical moves worth a damn. And if, by some miracle, a non-Legendary Electric type makes it above PU in its debut generation, Game Freak nerfs it down in the coming generations.

Ice types. There weren't any fast ice types for the longest time and they got so many weaknesses that being an "immovable iceberg" ain't an option

I feel like bug ice and posion types only sereve as offensive/coverage moves so aren't pokemon stuck with ass movepools ~fire and electric~ Bug ice and poison types have great attacking moves to use like x-scissor U turn bug buzz for bugs, ice beam ice punch and billzard ice shard, sludge bomb slugs wave posion jab and toxic But when was the last time you used those moves on mons who receive STAB from it? Water types use ice move for ice coverage So many fucking non-bug type can learn those good bug type moves Poison was only good after fairy was introduced in gen 6. If like not every bug type move can be learned by other non-bug type pokemon *perhaps* bug types can see some sort of niche, actually good ice type pokemon, poison hitting more than just grass and fairy so just Maybe?

That’s actually the Santo Tomás arrangement man, you late 😪

Ice is also odd to me. There's the obvious issues with weaknesses and that the only good ice mons are almost always hyper offense. But why is ice always available so late in the game? Do they just want to save snowy settings for later in the story? Why not have snowy areas earlier on if ice types are going to be as frail as they are?

Poison was just a hinder to have

I hate that GF keeps making slow bulky ice types

well yes, you're right. old generations leave a lot to be desired for pokemon movepools. are you talking about competitive formats or in casual play? In the former you use whatever options give you the most success. in single player you can do whatever you want. you can still use pokemon even if they have fewer moves than others. it's just not as easy. I've been playing sapphire, using cacnea (it's not quite evolved) and ninjask, and cackling whenever I ko a grass and/or dark type with pin missile or fury cutter.

8:48 this is why stealth rock is so good. I think rock is fascinating as a type because the games introduce rock as a defensive type, when in reality rock types have 5 weaknesses and 4 resistances; the same as Grass type. Meanwhile Rock-type offensive is as good as it gets. No immunities, only 3 resists to cover, and with 4 types weak to it, Rock-type offense outperforms even Ice type moves. So of course GF had to give every last species Stealth Rock and render every rock-type obsolete for years.
