    There's no Dusk Stone before the post-game, you say? Well, as someone who uses a Chandelure in my current run of Pokemon Y, I evolved my Lampent after beating Olympia. The Dusk Stone was located in a maze in Terminus Cave.

      Actually he said 'essentially' no dusk stone. To me that would imply he knew about the terminus cave one and just didn't want to get it for some reason. The heat-rotom is obviously more useful than Chandelure for a fire type only run anyways, so I'd say chances are pretty good that he just preferred having the STAB electric type than wasting time getting an out of the way dusk stone for an inferior encounter.

    • @LeKornorBros
      @LeKornorBros 2 года назад +27

      @@Kandall05161 you do make a fair point. Come to think of it, not just Rotom overshadowed Chandelure, as Houndoom's Dark type has the same offensive coverage as Chandelure's Ghost type. Thinking about it more, if we ever get a new type again, I wish it does something to make Ghost and Dark type more different on offense, so that choosing between them had greater impact.

    24:54 I had a funny moment with the Memory Girl in my first Y nuzlocke. I had her read the memory of my star Azumarill and she brought up the fact that we did super training. She even says "Bean remembers feeling very stressed" which was funny because I was actually getting stressed out over that Magneton stage.
    Little things like that made my Y nuzlocke special.

    Charmander faces in another direction because the generation is well beyond generation 1, it more easily clarifies that charmander is a fire type so you can see his tail makes it easier the newer pokemon players.
    Dunno why since you can just hover over it for the type. But that’s the explanation for it.

      But all the starters are color coded by types. Like bulbasaur is green & grass, squirtle is blue & water, so wouldn’t it be obvious for new players that the orange pokemon is fire??? Like the starters are always grass/water/fire sooo it’s a matter of process of elimination haha

    Oh man, it's unfortunate the Delphox didn't get a chance to shine. I hope you do psychic type run of X or Y so Delphox gets a second chance

    I swear Rotom is a must-have for any electric or fire monotype team in my opinion because of its ability to change types based on its form.

    As muchas Gen 6 was "easy," I still think X/Y is the most aesthetic and fun game since crystal

    The fact you got a male Litleo on your first encounter is crazy, it’s only a 12.5% chance of being male
