      You have to nickel and dime with Lotad and Lombre before getting a Water Stone, which takes you a while because it isn't available until after the 7th gym. And while you have Lombre, you don't have any strong moves until you get Surf after the 5th gym.
      Seedot and Nuzleaf aren't much better, but at least Nuzleaf gets Faint Attack. Nuzleaf also has more attack than Lombre, which mean Fake Out does more. You also get to evolve Nuzleaf earlier, since you get the Leaf Stone in route 119 before the 6th gym.
      However, I will say that in the long run, Ludicolo is better than Shiftry thanks to being a little bit bulkier and having access to Ice Beam and Surf.

    Something else about that Gen 1 Vileplume x Victreebel thing:
    Razor Leaf is almost 100% certain to critical hit, so it’s actually a 110 base power move. Also, Victreebel learns Wrap and Stun Spore and you know how OP Wrap is in Gen 1.

    • @visgrapplinghooks
      @visgrapplinghooks 4 года назад +19

      Yeah, the exact percentage is 99.6%. With Victreebel being faster as well, it's much easier for it to sweep any water or ground types in Gen 1 making it extremely useful against the first two Elite Four members. That said, though, Venusaur is a much better grass type in Gen 1 due to its bulk, higher speed than Victreebel, and the fact that it absolutely destroys the first two gyms early game.

      @Banzybanz 4 года назад +29

      @@salamibandit3070 Both games have very broken (although different) mechanics for calculating critical hit probability. Sricharan is however right, so you should keep your snarky ignorant comments to yourself. The critical hit chance always depended on the base Speed of the Pokemon using it, so it would change depening on the Pokemon. And it is never always 100% for every Pokemon, in any of the games.
      For the high critical hit moves, probability of getting a critical hit in Red/Blue/Yellow is BaseSpeed/64. So any Pokemon with a Base Speed of 64 or higher will always get a critical hit using Razor Leaf. So Venusaur and Victreebel will always get a critical hit, but Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Bellsprout and Weepinbel won't The lowest rate is for Bellsprout, which still gets a 62.5% chance of scoring a critical hit with Razor Leaf.

    White had the White forest, full of rare Pokemons from different regions, while Black had the Black city, full of strong trainers.
    Plus, ending White 2 gives you a key for an easy mode, and Black 2 gives you a key for a hard mode.

    Not exclusives, but I think in Gen 1 it's still worth mentioning Caterpie/Weedle. In Red, Viridian forest will be swarming with Weedle making that early game stretch harder if your Pokemon get poisoned. By contrast, not only is Viridian forest easier in Blue, but Caterpie evolves into the much more useful Butterfree, so not having to put as much effort into finding one is a double plus.

  • @f.dud4
    @f.dud4 7 месяцев назад +4

    For the Ho-Oh and Lugia situation, I would say that their signature moves are "version exclusive."
    When accessing to catch these legendary Pokémon early (Level 40), they have their signature move, Sacred Fire for Ho-Oh and Aeroblast for Lugia.
    When getting them after defeating Pokémon League and access to the Kanto region, they will be Level 70 without their signature move.
    Since Gen 2 doesn't have any move relearner (only move deleter). That just means that obtaining their signature move would be available by trading or cheat code.
    The enhanced version (Pokémon Crystal) isn’t better either as both legendary Pokémon are post-Pokémon League so they are higher levels but not as high as its sister versions (Level 60) and they don't have their signature moves.
    Of course, the remakes (HGSS) improved this by having access both signature moves for each legendary Pokémon.

    Another interesting thing about Ho-Oh and Lugia in GS is the lack of a Move Reminder. The higher level one will have already forgotten their best/signature move, making them far weaker than they could be. At level 70, Ho-Oh will know Fire Blast instead of Sacred Fire and Lugia will know Hydro Pump instead of Aeroblast.
    All in all, choosing Gold gets you an excellent Ho-Oh and an awful Lugia. Silver gets an excellent Lugia and an okay Ho-Oh.

    13:50 you can actually catch one of the roaming Eon PKMN in both games. This can be done involving a glitch in which you lose in the Battle Tower, then encounter a roaming PKMN, and the team that you battled in the Battle Tower will appear. Its kinda tricky to explain, but the point is, any PKMN you fight in the Battle Tower is catchable by this glitch. It can be done once per save file, so you can catch Latios or Latias, as they spawn in the Battle Tower

      Emerald and Platinum are the clearly superior options to their counterparts. There is NO question.

    I always liked the water starters way more, especially squirtle, I had the blue version, I maintained in the schoolyard that it was the better one: thank you for giving me the feeling of VINDICATION!
    (same thing for gen 2 btw but it was a lesser matter as we got older)

    Thanks for not chickening out on Platinum. With the Gen4 remakes incoming, the question of Diamond vs Pearl became relevant again,. gonna pick up Brilliant Diamond thanks to your vid.
