Hey! I've missed you guys, a lot. I've put a lot of work into the infographics for this series, gonna be uploading the game throughout the day, will blank out spoilers in the thumbnails for those of you wanting to avoid
yea shiny pokemon in this game are hella common since even though its still a 1/4096 chance due to how many pokemon you can have on screen at one time and how quickly they despawn and respawn it results in you finding them every couple hours even if you're just playing casually as long as you pay attention
Welcome back, Phil! I can't believe your luck with that shiny Lechonk (the base shiny rate is still 1/4096 ≈ 0.02%); that's an amazing way to start off 🍀 Also, I love the "lore implication" that the Rotom Phone didn't care about you in Legends: Arceus 😂 As usual, I appreciate the extra work on the infographics 👍 I'm looking forward to the walkthrough! Finally, a little etymology trivia: Lechonk = lechón ("piglet" in Spanish) + chonk (the meme slang for overweight animals) Naranja (the name of the academy) = "orange" (the fruit, which is also its logo) in Spanish Sprigatito = sprig + gatito ("kitten" in Spanish) Fuecoco = fuego ("fire" in Spanish) + cocodrilo ("crocodile" in Spanish) La Primera = "The First" in Spanish Koraidon = korai ("ancient" in Japanese) + don (a suffix for animals characterized by teeth, common in dinosaur names) Miraidon = mirai ("future" in Japanese) + don
Thank you, I needed this today honestly ❤ I will try to come back soon with an update on where I've been and start making videos about news again, I miss it a lot. A lot of impostor syndrome and personal life stuff has got in the way, but I'll be back one day. ^_^
Hey Winnall :D I'm not getting the game myself, but I'll watch your playthrough to make up my own opinion in the inevitable discussion the community is going to have. Glad to watch you play.
Wish you did Arceus walk through. But glad you’re back! I’m playing a long with this series. Longest tutorial ever!! But just got past it and it’s open world now. Enjoying it so far. Thanks PD.
I'm very late replying to this but I really want to get around to doing a Legends Arceus walkthrough this year, it won't do well view-wise but I absolutely adore that game and want to share my thoughts and give a video series worthy of what the game means to me. Thank you for watching and being patient with me
I think the shiny chance is increased on that route when you first go there. My friend found a shiny Lechonk there, and I found a shiny Tarountula. If it’s true that the shiny chance is increased a little there then that’ll make for a good surprise for loads of new players.
Idk if you ever seen the episode of ash going to the past and meeting oak as a kid but his Pokédex was hand written and the poke balls were the same as arceus
Tbh I think with the nerf to Protean Spriggs might not be that fantastic since naturally it is a dual type so it always forces it to use a choice set. The main boon it has is that its signature move is kinda crazy being a move that always hits and crits but from what I can tell its a single target move so it kinda forces it to be a single use Pokemon that after it is used it dies. Plus with Terrastalization any pokemon can change their own type and gets more use from being a dual type as they get the defensiveness of a single type while maintaining the dual type's STAB. It still will be really good but not as meta as old Greninja who could constantly change its type.
I just wished that my friends were playing pokemon. I already have quaxly (3 to be exact) and I need fuecoco and sprigitto (may have misspelled the name of the cat)
Wait, there is no new starter route bird/flying type pokemon with 3 evolutions like there has been in every single new pokemon? that saddens me pretty bad, always loved the new 3 stage evo bird pokemon in the first route.. always kept it on my team
Haven’t picked my copy yet but I wanted to see some early gameplay real quick. I miss the “evil” rivals that were just complete dicks to you and chose the Pokémon strong against your starter.
@christofeThe game did leak and a lot of us have been playing it "illegally" but gamestop gave out copies early and amazon shipped them out early, it's his game lol
Are you kidding me you got shiny lechonk very start of the game this will be history first part of the game shiny Pokémon it took you only one encounter

Thank you, I needed this today honestly ❤ I will try to come back soon with an update on where I've been and start making videos about news again, I miss it a lot. A lot of impostor syndrome and personal life stuff has got in the way, but I'll be back one day. ^_^
Welcome back. Congratulation on your shiny.
Really good starter tips
good to have you back.
I appreciate you!
Can’t wait to play this I think I’ll be able to play tonight at midnight
Yoo i lowkey missed your pokemon videos man used to watch back in gen 6 days

Hey Winnall :D I'm not getting the game myself, but I'll watch your playthrough to make up my own opinion in the inevitable discussion the community is going to have. Glad to watch you play.
Nice work catching a shiny early. I caught a shiny Skwovet in Sword before I got to the first gym.
Wish you did Arceus walk through. But glad you’re back! I’m playing a long with this series. Longest tutorial ever!! But just got past it and it’s open world now. Enjoying it so far. Thanks PD.

Wow! What a way to start the game! You are so lucky!
Great Video Welcome Back
Same thing happened to me in sun and moon found a shiny ratatat at the very start. GZ on getting it
Can’t wait for midnight tonight so I can start playing
I found a shiny Lechonk too! Only 9 hours into my playthough (so a little behind you, haha)
you may not have noticed but for the first time this game has one of every type represented!
Personally I pick water but have been leaning to grass then watching your serous you may have changed my mind
HE'S BACK!! THE BOY IS BACK!!!!
EVERYONE GET IN HERE
43:41 Congratulations Your First Shiny in Pokemon Scarlet And Violet 👌
I think the shiny chance is increased on that route when you first go there. My friend found a shiny Lechonk there, and I found a shiny Tarountula. If it’s true that the shiny chance is increased a little there then that’ll make for a good surprise for loads of new players.
Wooo shiny !!!
Something cool I noticed: your hair color matches your mom’s in game depending on the style you chose at the start!
Awesome 👍
Welcome back!,!!!,
youre back lessgo
He's alive!!!!!!! ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
The shiny mechanics must be abit like legends arcues with how lucky people have been getting 😮
Hang on can we still not turn off exp share??
There's gonna be soooo many kids naming lechonk big chungus ... Hoo boy
Oh shit he's back! Let's gooo. The framerate has been kinda rough so far with this game I hope they fix it
The Legends Arceus phone was just a phone blessed by god. It did not contain a Rotom.
i got a shiny lechonk first 10 minutes of playing, i was so shocked and i got it in first 10 minutes which was crazy.
I dont know if you noticed, but that was also a crit catch
Is it possible to skip text in Pokémon games I just want to play
Do you know how to get chargadet
Idk if you ever seen the episode of ash going to the past and meeting oak as a kid but his Pokédex was hand written and the poke balls were the same as arceus
Wheres the banging AliA intro
Welcome back to ytube ❤️
Nobody has made it so far
Me am I joke to u 😹
YOUR BACK ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tbh I think with the nerf to Protean Spriggs might not be that fantastic since naturally it is a dual type so it always forces it to use a choice set. The main boon it has is that its signature move is kinda crazy being a move that always hits and crits but from what I can tell its a single target move so it kinda forces it to be a single use Pokemon that after it is used it dies. Plus with Terrastalization any pokemon can change their own type and gets more use from being a dual type as they get the defensiveness of a single type while maintaining the dual type's STAB. It still will be really good but not as meta as old Greninja who could constantly change its type.
YAY
I would've picked "no" as a way of saying, "why don't we get to know eachother better first". I understand your feelings tho
I just wished that my friends were playing pokemon. I already have quaxly (3 to be exact) and I need fuecoco and sprigitto (may have misspelled the name of the cat)
Wait, there is no new starter route bird/flying type pokemon with 3 evolutions like there has been in every single new pokemon? that saddens me pretty bad, always loved the new 3 stage evo bird pokemon in the first route.. always kept it on my team
Noctowl and Swellow are only two stage
You can’t skip cut scene btw
It’s funny how everyone is choosing the fire type but in the splatoon 3 event the fire type got last
The legendary from Scarlet is Koridon, the one from Violet is Miraidon. Good guess on you're part though.
Well it was a 50/50 chance he'd be right 😂
Frigibax?dragon/ice evolve missed
as an american the brexit joke flew right over my head LOL
❤
save the pig don't eat it! 🌿
I gotta say you don’t look 28 you look 18 I’m envious
Whats up man hru
Are you developer how are you playing Pokémon violet and scarlet???
He has to be
Pink piggie
Also welcome back!!!
The game not out for me
Could I get a time stamp please ?
Lol there isn’t a rotor phone in arceus it’s the arc phone
Lucky
Haven’t picked my copy yet but I wanted to see some early gameplay real quick. I miss the “evil” rivals that were just complete dicks to you and chose the Pokémon strong against your starter.
Me waiting till for tomorrow for the actual release date 🤦 -_-
@christofeThe game did leak and a lot of us have been playing it "illegally" but gamestop gave out copies early and amazon shipped them out early, it's his game lol
@christofe agreed idk why nintendo isn't doing anything.... lazy
Are you kidding me you got shiny lechonk very start of the game this will be history first part of the game shiny Pokémon it took you only one encounter
Your luck: 100
Your osum😊
these games look terrible lol
It doesn't look like it's running that bad. I wonder how the open world is.
Performance is okay! Definitely struggles at times, a lot of pop in, but it's a lot of fun!
