    No no, if you get another Flygon, DEFINITELY name it Skygon and pretend that it's the first time you've ever used one. This has the potential to become a hilarious running gag.

    2:50 As someone who'se dug around in that time of the internet, yeah Gen 5 was probably even more hated than gens 8-9 are, the fanbase despised it, much of the wider internet thought of it as a poster child for a bad reboot, and a lot of game critics thought that they were "unmemorable entries" (despite giving them the highest review scores in the franchise at the time).

      Yeah. It was absolute carnage. And you even see that it had terrible consequences for the franchise for years to come. B2W2 immediately corrected course, but sold like dogpiss. Gen 6' Kalos games got absolutely buried by the gen 1 pandering to a point Kalos' region, trainers, pokémon and everything couldn't shine at all and with the lack of pokémon Z, is probably the most desolate pair of games left. You feel that genwunner pandering in gen 7 (though a bit better because of how deeply the Alola stuff goes). Gen 8 vanilla is once again stricken with the nonsense and could only save itself with the DLC, and gen 9 finally got rid of the shackles of "try to appeal to angry genwunners who'll always hate you anyways for not being the original 151".Gen 5 got a terrible deal with social media, and every subsequenet series suffered from it... the first series I think they finally got out of that debacle might be gen 10.

    That third meme is extremely relatable, and it actually hits on the deeper issues with opinions in conflict on the internet that a lot of people overlook. You often hear people say "My opinion doesn't affect your enjoyment, so why does it matter if I'm vocal about my negative opinions?" While it's true that it shouldn't feel that way, it isn't quite so clean-cut, and that's because of the massive social component of enjoying games.
    Think about it this way, how much of your time is actually spent on your playthrough of the game, vs. you either sharing that feeling with others, having them share with you, or THINKING about sharing with others in some way. A lot of thoughts on what you love about a game still tend to have a social component of wanting to share that with someone else too. We think about stuff like that all the time. As a result, if negative opinions start to spread, the majority of your enjoyment is indeed affected by that, as you're limited to just that lone personal experience, and the thoughts of sharing with others become contaminated with conflict and self-doubt.
    When negative opinions start to become ubiquitous to some people, they may also start to have a warped view of the issue, and see any non-negative acknowledgement of the game as borderline hostile, because the view they have has been normalized to such an extensive degree.
    Because of this, it's really important to keep a mental note that no matter how prevalent an opinion is about a game, it's still a matter of opinion and neutrality is still the default center of the discussion. People on the other side just want to be able to share what they enjoy sometimes like everyone else gets to do. They're fully aware of their opinion being in the minority if that's the case. They don't need to be 'put in their place' just for doing what every human does.

Not understanding the aesthetics and beauty of the Air Ride courses and the fun top down Top Ride courses that have multitude of items that can really screw you up if you're not careful.
      But what you've said here makes perfect amount of sense to me.

      I never actually interact with the online fandom of a game until well after I've finished it because of this. I don't want other people's opinions skewing mine one way or the other.
      It can be weird finding out people don't share my opinions on things I thought were obvious, though (Chrom's canon wife being Sumia in Fire Emblem: Awakening for example)

      Mr Mime didn’t look “good” but I also feel like it captured the vibe of the Pokémon perfectly- heck GameFreak seems to have agreed, based on its behavior in Journeys and how in Legends: Arceus it has an idle animation where it sits down on an invisible chair and takes a sip from an invisible drink.

    5:10 You'd THINK that, but GameFreak actually subtly hinted that it WOULD be Dawn and Dusk.
    In Sword and Shield's Lake of Outrage, there's a circle of 8 large pointed rocks near which you can catch an Eeveelution which changes depending on the weather. Under each rock there's a renewable evolution stone, each representing a different Eeveelution by Pokédex order; the stones representing Espeon, Umbreon and Sylveon are the Dawn, Dusk and Shiny stones respectively.

    7:14 to be fair, the 'specific strategy' for whitney is just the strategy for every normal type specialist; use a fighting type. the only issue is that there are like two befor the gym, the traded machop and a potential heracross in certain games. a specific strategy would be: "use a female pokemon so attract doesn't hit" or "use a ghost type so body slam doesn't hit."

    • @tillynugget7351

      I might have beat Whitney first try, but that is only because I used potions and revives. Her militant took out my Machop easily. While the Pokémon is helpful it in no way guarantees an easy win. My freaking BELLSPROUT ended up being my mvp because she somehow managed to poison powder the dang thing. Whitney is difficult if you don’t get lucky, especially for the little kids that play these games.

    • @theoaremevano3227
      @theoaremevano3227 Месяц назад +2

      Yeah, it's just lacking in options compared to other cases. If you didn't get lucky with the bug and weren't into using in-game trades, you just wouldn't have anything, and the fact it would still be a problem even with just one Pokemon to defeat definitely says something.

    6:06 going off the comment thread, it's not just that they're dogs, but have some mystique or connection to legends. arcanine is classified as "the legendary pokemon", zoroark, absol, and lucario had movie appearances, and I guess rockruff has its evolution tied to the time of day (which in one of the articles leading up to the release of sun and moon, was hinted at, only to be mistranslated to say it had a connection to the starters). Not sure why houndoom's here

    • @BrandonSwinney-j2v
      @BrandonSwinney-j2v 13 дней назад

      apparently the guy who made the post was going to use type null instead of rockruff, then found out null was a legendary, and thought rockruff was a good enough replacement. going off some of their other comments, they were probably pretty tired when they were working on this, which helps explain some of the decisions

    • @Mjgaming54321

    6:44 May I offer a (somewhat) wholesome plot twist: Hydreigon doesn't know how to take care of a child, so the three heads get together to figure out what's wrong when the child starts crying. They eventually decide that the child is either hot or hungry. The fridge is a solution to both problems (since it is generally cold and it contains food), so in they go.
    (Don't ask why Hydreigon was tasked with babysitting in the first place. That's a minor detail.)

    7:03 Now that you mention the Whitney battle, I recently beat her in Crystal with only water types, and it sucked.
    My initial strategy was to start with Qwilfish, since it learned both Spikes and minimize, so like damage when it get sent and being impossible to hit, but then when I use Minimize, her Clefairy used Mimic, so it end with both Pokemon fainting and then the Miltank end up in a raid boss which took Wooper (dropping accuracy with mud slap), Krabby (who GRIPPED THE NIPPLES as much as it could) and a Goldeen to confuse with supersonic and give the final blow.

He’s saying if we had to have a name for those Pokemon what would we call them? Like gyrados and Tentacool this person just so happens to be a fan of dog Pokemon, I would give them something like “Ascended Pokemon” or “Pedestal Pokemon”

    6:15 I don't immediately understand Houndoom or Lycanrok, but for further clarity on Arcanine and Absol, Arcanine in the dex is labeled as "Legendary Pokemon", where as Absol in most things they appeared in during Gen 3 (outside of mainlines) it had a pretty important role in the stories as this creature that would just show up before a disastrous event happens. Perhaps less legendary, but rather a potential mythical in the way to look at it.
    Same way as Lucario and Zoroark. Got a lot of specific attention, yet were just ultimately basic pokemon.
    TLDR: Arcanine is "Legendary" in the dex, and Absol appeared in a movie and a game where it had a fairly important role in stopping a disaster.

    7:44 I think the point of the meme is saying that the marchop is the only argument of why Whitney is easy and making the point that is the only argument that people that say she is easy. And that is the only reason and by not knowing about the trade or not using a machop the fight is still difficult.
