    I was fully ready for this to be clickbait, and I am very happy to say I was wrong. This video was very insightful and such a good break down. Glad youtube recommended your channel!

      Glad you had enjoyed the content!! I'm more than willing to try to get people to click however I need to, but I'm also gonna at least deliver. I am sure I will have fun playing these games and in a separate vacuum they'll be great like the first legends was, but for competitive oml there's so much these games did I will not miss if it's ever cut

      @@oLivSamaYea, I hear you on that! I'm a bit bummed out by the legends series, as you highlighted it ads such a cost to try and be competitive. I am only just getting into online play now, and watching vgc.
      I'm trying to figure out what team I want to build, and it really sucks to have a huge portion of the meta locked away behind games I don't own. On one hand it allows me to be creative, but it is a bummer that a huge portion of what I fight, I won't be able to use myself.

    I pray to Arceus himself that Mega Evolutions and Primal Reversions are restricted to the campaign mode.
    We do *NOT* need a repeat of Mega Rayquaza.

    I swear I'm not a hater and I enjoyed the vid as a competitive pokemon player, but bestie that make up is not doing you any favors, maybe its the lighting as well but it is not flattering at all

      Fwiw it was my first time practicing like full face makeup, I think it was a bit much but I already was very late sending this off to my editor and didn't wanna hold him back. I'd love to hear if you have any tips though I'm still trying to learn and improve my makeup abilities!!

    Can someone explain me, why it is important in vgc to have low IV in Attack or anything else besides Speed? Speed is important for trickroom, but the others? 🤔

    • @fatalardon6928
      @fatalardon6928 7 месяцев назад +5

      Attack is determining damage from foul play, sometimes even gender matters, depending the pokemon with something like attract have fixed gender, like enamorus is a female, so if it , i myself not knowlegable about everything, so thats all the variables i know, still it is depending on the how much of a benefit the stat gives, and if there is a scenario it may be giving a backlash.

    • @tomithy_lo
      @tomithy_lo 7 месяцев назад +4

      Like the last person said, foul play is just common enough that it is the main reason. The second reason is confusion. You're not super likely to get confused most of the time, but it is a secondary chance from Hurricane.

    • @oLivSama
      @oLivSama  7 месяцев назад +2

      You both hit it on the head thanks for covering this, there's even times where tbf a low defense IV matters to give you an easier time getting down to 1HP for a focus sash for sets like endeavor or to hit 1hp endure more easily for things like salac Berry reverse sweeps. These defense dropping IVs are a lot less used fwiw but some dbond users and even dugtrio at times has had a reason to use these, but in doubles its practically non existent fwiw

    • @tomithy_lo
      @tomithy_lo 7 месяцев назад +1

      @@oLivSama I am pretty much only familiar with vgc, so I was unaware of the sash-endeavor and dbond stuff using imperfect defenses. That's really interesting too.

    Bottle caps should allow to chose the exact IV u want in a stat instead of just raising it to 31. Megas prob wont be added into other games and will hopefully stay on legends za game only. For the exclusive mons like hisuian forms and exclusive legendaries I think the only allowed mons for vgc should be the ones that can be obtained in the game without needing for other gen games, also restricting event exclusive mons that are only obtainable during a short period of time
    Just my opionion as a noobie but I struggle so much since I have no way to obtain a lot of mons without paying for extra games

    • @oLivSama
      @oLivSama  7 месяцев назад +1

      They'll probably lock megas at least I could see the rest getting movable tho like floette eternal if that comes back. That's why I think if the xy box arts get new forms they'll be like zygardes and then be usable in VGC next gen

      Fwiw the transfer stuff will matter more but I'm mostly worried about their accessibility in future games as that will be horrible if it follows the PLA logistics for checking IVs or stuff like that

    I dunno, considering what legends did last time I don't get all the complaints about competitive seeing odds are we won't even get pvp

    • @oLivSama
      @oLivSama  6 месяцев назад

      The issues are for when the games after ZA come out like how enamorus or the other legends are awful to reset for and in the case of enam especially this is your only choice besides hacking

  • @AsherTheModder
    @AsherTheModder 7 месяцев назад +1

    Legends za probably won't have online. Also your math is wrong cus you do not need a home sub to transfer and Sword can often be bought for $30 USD then buy dlc for $30 so not 90 but $60. In conclusion your total should actually be $120 because counting the console is utterly illogical at that point start counting your eletric bill Lol

    • @oLivSama
      @oLivSama  7 месяцев назад

      Even if I got sword at a gamestop its still like $42 for a used copy and most of the cheaper ebay copies are starting bids. At best you'd knock that figure down to ~$72. Still a not great precedent to set, and again this is meant to discuss what issues these games will contribute to future competitive formats whether we get a SCVI patch to use these or if it's generation 10 where players will most likely in some capacity need these games to obtain some of these mons for VGC. Even just counting the two games that's $132, again if you needed pokemon that you couldn't get in either game it only adds on another game to enter. This was meant to illustrate the truly best case if you just needed two games but if you wanna cover all of the top tier pokemon you need 3 games in SCVI (Scarlet + DLC for past paradox and ogerpon, PLA for genies, SWSH for mons like rillaboom if you missed a raid but even outside of this there's still plenty of things like calyrex that while not legal rn will be in a restricted format and it's home exclusive)
