    UPDATE: Yes, I realize now I forgot Snom and Frosmoth in Gen 8, which bumps BOTH Ice and Bug type. That means solely Ground is the answer for Galar. That’s my mistake!
    So ignore when I’m talking about Bug for that section and the rest of the video remains the same.

    I would be intrested in the type density based on regional dexes in general although i suspect the results would likely be and obvious water and normal types are common and dragons are rare. Also i predict fire types are the rarest of the 3 starter types in every single region.

    It's amazing how Gen 2 didn't wanna let you get their new Pokémon and Gen 4 didn't wanna give you their new Evolutions.
    And I really wish there were more Rock Types in the wild in Gen 4. Such nice diversity almost everywhere but the second you walk into a cave you better be excited to see Onix and Graveler.

      @vulcanraven9701 2 месяца назад

      Yeah Gen 2 in particular fumbled the new pokemon so badly. They tend to be weak or inaccessible until much later in the game. Most the trainers dont use them very much either, so their presence is hardly noticed in-game.

  • @TheDeathmail
    @TheDeathmail 3 месяца назад +25

    It should be noted that Gen 2 almost perfectly updates Gen 1 Dex in how it works with stats and types.... and with how Johto is so connected with Kanto, it feels almost like it's a connected region and the dex just more so completes Kanto rather than exists on it's own.....
    And I actually appreciate the lack of fire types in Gen 4. Sinnoh is a colder region. It makes sense that fire types aren't suited for the region.... so it's lacking....
    Also, it should be noted that while a type is rare for a generation, it doesn't mean it's rare for a region.
    Because the generation separation is only for players... for the characters, a lot of the Pokemon from different generations actually DO belong to the region....

    i feel like the ground type is sort of underrepresented in ‘newly designed’ pokemon the last decade or so.
    if we are not counting regional variants, convergent evolutions, paradox pokemon and legendaries, so just regular, newly introduced, evolutionary families one can encounter into the wild, the only new ground types we have gotten since gen 6 are Diggersby, the Mudsdale family, the Palossand family and the Sanaconda family. Paldea legit did not introduce a single ground type that is not in some shape or form related to an already existing Pokemon line except for Ting-Lu.
    it’s not that big of a deal, but i always wonder what the reason for this might be! I hope we get a ground/fairy Pokemon next gen, cause that is the only typing ground has not yet been paired with.

      I doubt they will ever do this, but i feel like if they are gonna adjust the types in the type chart ever again someday, rock and grounds could easily be merged into one type and they can name it the ‘terra type’ or something like that, but that would put us on an odd number of types again, so that would probably never happen.

For fire, I remember you could get the starters and Ponyta before the first gym, Houndoor before the fourth gym, and Magmar before the fifth.

      And all of them except Abomasnow were before the fifth gym.
      But the grass type can seem elusive outside of Roserade and the starters because an honestly absolutely stupid number of them are locked behind honey trees (Wormadam, Cherrim) or the great marsh (Carnivine, Tangrowth, Tropius), two idiotic mechanics I still can't believe they implemented.

    Really minor thing but during gen 5, you said the venipede duo instead of trio, but this is a great video, I mean it also adds to what i believe regional variants are for which is balancing types in their current generation and in their original generation, notice kanto, and johto have multiple regional ghost types, addition of a dragon and more type variety from ice which is essentially water in gen 1

  • @CodenameJD
    @CodenameJD 3 месяца назад +10

    It's also worth considering what the overall balance of the Pokédex is as generations go by, which type is rarest across the whole Pokédex in each gen. Naturally, that stays the same in the first two generations, though by gen III Ghost has fallen behind, as Dragon got more additions then. These days, Ice is the least common overall - an impressive feat considering Fairy was introduced five generations later, even if 22 Pokémon did have their types changed when it was introduced.
    All in all, Ice definitely feels like the hardest type to encounter in most games, reflecting that overall obscurity. It's hurt a lot by being difficult to encounter until late in the game, particularly for new Pokémon. You mentioned Crabrawler being common, but in Sun & Moon the area to evolve it is literally Victory Road, meaning you can't get the only new non-regional variant Ice type until the end game. It's rare enough that the Coastal dex in Kalos didn't have a single Ice type, the only time in the main series that a Pokédex has missed a type that existed at that time.

      There is a reason rock is nearly always early game when normal type moves are used - it's otherwise shit defensively. While being worse defensively, ice type gym leaders are always late-game, I think there's not a single ice type gym leader who's earlier than... slot 7? Or E4?

      They didn't have many good ideas for how to make a plant into a fighting monster besides making it a poisonous plant.

    Honestly I wouldn’t count the legendaries or mythical for this video once you are only able to use them in the very end of your journey.

      tbh, if you don't count legendaries/mythicals, you cannot count version exclusives either, since they don't at to the tally for a type (Looking at Alola here, while we have 5 ice types in the dex, we only get 3 per game, as 2 of the lines are version exclusives).

  • @leonardoluiz7487

    Something interesting to consider is that part of the reason Dragon doesn't consistantly land bottom is that every generation has at least 1 dragon type line and from gen 2 fowards we get a trend of getting a decent amount of legendary dragons.
    Hoenn does have a fair bit of dragons between 6 non-legendary and 3 legendary dragons.
    In Gen 4 and gen 5 dragon escapes being the lowest because of the legendary trio of dragons putting it over the top.
    Gen 6 have a decent amount of dragons (and it's really hard to beat a 2 as the lowest)
    Gen 7 escapes being the lowest type because of Necrozma and the 2 dragon type Ultra Beasts
    Gen 8 and 9 added a lot of Dragons in both games, but even then there are a good amount of legendary dragons. In SwSh it does add 2 legendary dragons and SV adds 2 legendary dragons + 4 paradox dragons.

    I feel you erred by skipping Hisui. Maybe you're right that it should be counted separately from Galar despite being from the same generation, but the title of the video explicitly says rarest types by generation, not rarest types by region. Hisui is part of the 8th gen and should thus be counted with it- which is the simplest way. Even if it _was_ by region, it should be counted as an extension of Sinnoh- though that might be a little tricky since none of the "new" Pokémon are new evolutionary lines, they were all regional variants and regional evolutions of Pokémon not native to Sinnoh in gen 4 (with the exception of Sneasel). Point is, it either needs to be counted as part of Sinnoh or part of gen 8, has to be one or the other, you can't do neither. Maybe Hisui should just be counted as its own region, past gen carryovers and new mon just lumped together in the total. And when Legends Z-A comes out you're going to have to account for it too.
