I remember getting ever so slightly teary eyed at the end of OG Sun, with that ending, then all the scrolling credit photos. (They removed in Ultra, which sucked.) If they at least try to make a decent story, I can see someone more emotional crying at the end.
Lmao I love how Shofu ain’t like most of the other PokeTubers making a 15+ minute video of pure speculation off of 30 second trailers and just waits tbh. Makes shit feel more…genuine.
Its strange how the Pokemon company has no issue hiring voice actors for a mobile game like Pokemon Masters Ex and yet are stingy when it comes to their main games.
I hate that, as you had mentioned, there would be some nice voice acting in the trailers and then they just strip it all a way. That thing they did for Iona is now like Piers V2. _(when Piers was singing but you don't hear a voice from him.)_ I don't get the difficulty in adding VA work in Pokemon games.
I want them to AT LEAST add sounds like grunts, laughs, screams, etc. That way they don't have to have voices for multiple languages. Silence with all that animation is just awkward.
@shofu on this point, it's probably bc they put these games out every year, and also for such a global audience that it would be even more difficult to constantly get voice work for so many different regions. So another byproduct of them rushing these games out so often. Of course the point on it being hard to coordinate voice work across multiple regions doesn't really apply if they just did stuff like grunts or laughs like in most Zelda games. Legends had a hint of that but it was so minor I barely even consider that game to have voice acting
When queenly majesty was revealed they used the exact same wording as they did here with armour tail. "Some Tsareena have the Queenly Majesty Ability, which no other Pokémon has previously had. The effects of Queenly Majesty are so intimidating that it prevents opponents from using priority moves."
What makes tera water belibolt so good? Wouldn't you just run tera flying for ground type immunity or is there an advantage to water types I'm missing?
@@brycecrispy Since Water only has two weaknesses in Electric and Grass it will force the opponent to fire off either one of those moves, meaning Bellibolt has a higher chance getting its ability triggered
@@MaahirMomtaz12 That's actually a really smart feint, thx for the explanation, though unless it has some really good stats, I feel like you would rather tera other mons since you only get one per battle like tera fire torkal for 2x stab + drought + eruption, or tera electric rotom for 2x stab thunderbolt and 0 weaknesses
@@MaahirMomtaz12 I guess I'm still confused. It's ability isn't like lightning rod, it's just when it gets hit by a move (regardless of type) the next electric attack is stronger. Not sure how getting hit by grass or electric moves would make it better but I could be misunderstanding.
The worst part is the battle animations look exactly the same as they did 10 years ago. We still don’t get battle revolution animations where we actually see the Pokémon hit the other, it’s just some awkward movement and then we see the other Pokémon lose health
I liked the legend arceus animations more, some where wonky but I think they were decent enough. the problem with xd animations is that they took forever and dragged out too much, I personally prefer fast spaced battles more
Maybe I'm just soft, but I cried when Gladion smiled, during the battle with Kukui, and the end of Sun/Moon. The only time I've ever cried for a Pokémon game. I'm not saying I won't, but it's extremely difficult for Scarlet/Violet to do the same. I look forward to see it try though. Also, It literally makes no sense for them to not add voice acted cutscenes to the game. Pokémon fans have wanted it for years. Even Legend of Zelda has voice acting nowadays. There's nothing stopping them from keeping the MC silent and giving everyone else a VA.
that was my first thought, I think one of the only times I teared up at a main series game was during sun ND moons ending. I have a soft spot for gen 7, and that along with the amazing kukui battle with one of my favorite final boss themes in the series combined into happy tears finishing the game lmao
The 'Handheld' roots run a little too strong at Gamefreak. They're very slowly realizing developing for a console takes a different skillset. Maybe some day they'll actually have some sound engineers and such so we can get voiced NPCs etc.
I really don't think a lack of voice acting has anything to do with skill, they aren't so incompetent that they aren't capable of adequately implementing a feature that's been in games since the 90s lmao. it's almost certainly just a matter of the devs feeling like voice acting isnt necessary enough to spend money on it lol
I cried at the part during Legends when you get put out of the village and end up at the Ancient Retreat with Cogita and Volo. If the ending of SV is even better than that, tears might be a valid.
@@theBhavMan Stockpile to boost both defenses so that it can take hits. Take a hit, get the charge boost, throw out an electric move with double the power.
In terms of your statement about the game's ending making someone cry, it might be possible. There have been occasions throughout the years where the Pokemon Anime has produced episodes that were tear jerkers in one way or another. If by chance the game has a well written story with good & wholesome conclusion, it could happen. But I'll wait until the game comes out to see for myself.
For a guy who pretty much moved regular content to twitch despite starting from youtube, I wish he at least had a vod channel and we didn't have to rely on random youtube channels to upload snippets of streams every now and then. The vod experience on twitch is still horrible compared to youtube to this day, and after a couple months, if he doesn't highlight it, the vods disappear forever. Unforfunate
13:35 thats exactly what I thought, especially because of that text being really similar to some of the Litwick line's dex entries, and Shadow Tag WAS supposed to be Chandelure's dream world ability 🤔
farigirafe screenshot shows that the ability that doesnt allow priority = it is blocking enemy sinistea from using sucker punch... but protect is a good outlier of context we need to know!
I'm gonna say I again, the lack of gym scaling severely downgrades the game's replayability in my eyes. The whole game could literally be underwhelming but that would of been such a W for pokemon.
@Kelly Rousseau Because I take the leaks as legit at this point. The game could be good but why would you go back for a "different" experience if there is really only one way to beat the game. No matter how you put it that's a L on gamefreaks part.
@@notscorchingsands9718 If playing for nostalgia, sure. I'm talking without the context of having to do a nuzlucke or challenge run of sorts. If they have the opportunity to go the little extra mile to add some replayability, they should of.
The ending of a pokemon game made someone cry? Considering the theming of past & future, it’s gotta be some nostalgia bomb about pokemons legacy & future. That’s the only way I see anyone crying
5:17 by them giving her that video I thought the game was gonna have some type of voice acting but I don't even know why I thought so when none of the games have it. When the hell will they add it they have the VAs. this has been on my mind for a while.
Cud Chew for the most part sounds like a worse Ripen, but berries whose effects only last a single turn like Custap Berry sound like they'll synergize well.
I paused the video to leave a comment about how much I love this type of vids from you and then you said ''can a pokémon story suck you in so deep pause'' and so yeah... Let's talk about the fact Shofu is THE BEST RUclipsR OUT IN THIS BITCH PLS???
I'm excited about Bellibolt, I think if its stats aren't ass then Electromorphosis has some cool potential. I'm actually hoping it's slow and bulky so it'll be able to tank hits and then fire back charged up electric type moves. I also think in VGC or doubles it could be really cool to pair it with a pokemon like Raichu with Lightning Rod. You could, theoretically, hit Bellibolt with Raichu and activate your own Electromorphosis, then Discharge with Bellibolt to hit the two opponents and boost Raichu's Sp Attack with Lightning Rod. Idk, it gets walled by ground types but I think that could be fun. Just excited to think what we can do with these new mons and abilities.
4:43 Yes. A Pokemon game has made me cry before. If you haven't played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky, you're doing yourself a disservice. No main series game has made me cry, however.
I bet, that Armor Tail will work like Queenly Magisty, as a Armor protects. There is no reason why it should stop Protect or Priority Heal Pulse on a Teammember in DoubleBattles from working.
Here are my thoughts: Bellibolt: THOSE LITTLE DOTS ARE ITS FUCKING EYES? Weird Other 2 mons: Aight. Cool? Berry ability: i was thinking the same thing where, if it's a mixed attacker; it can Nasty Plot, run Salac, and sweep. But if it gets access to SD now, that's a free 2 Dragon Dance right there with Salac. Or run a gimmick set like how we did with Harvest: Sub, Recycle, Protect, some attack. Armor Tail: Sounds like Bruxish/Tsareena to me. Where the opponent can't use Priority attack/damaging moves

Ah, my favorite part of a new Pokemon generation: shofu making Pokemon videos again.
Hell yeah!
Amen
I love how it brings out his inner child. You can tell he gets excited as he should
This deserves a heart.
Truuu
I didn't expect a new shofu upload in a hot minute hope you been doing alright my brotha!
I agree, its good to have seen one and this intro after a long while.
