The best thing about BDSP is the water physics. Why a top-down extremely faithful remake needed beautiful rippling water is beyond me.
Also, calling Nemona Pneumonia has me wanting to spell her name NemoƱa which would, in fact, be pronounced pneumonia.
999th like. Get in.
Calling Ilima a she was funny not gomna lie š
If you canāt believe that Bede is a guy, wait until you hear about Ilima. And if that blows your mind, wait until you hear about Sinnohās āRoxanneā! XD
Thanks for doing this! I had a thought recently about how long it would take to get to the first gym of each region. I had thought XY was longer, but I must be thinking about the gap between gym 1 and gym 2 instead.
I could have sworn HGSS made you go through Sprout Tower before you can fight the first gym.
Ugh
Why does Milo have a Wooloo….two reason Gym Challenge and He's a Farmer
You misplayed in ruby and sapphire, brendan speaks less than may, so choosing may is optimal
The āBarryās on cocaineā line legit made me hard lol. Well done buddy. Excellent idea for a video brilliant execution
Good job on this video! I don't think I could have managed to do the Gen 7 games for this myelf :p I'm allergic to Melemele Island. WORST place and WORST game section in any PokĆ©mon game. One friggin' hour and 18 minutes of INSUFFERABLE tutorials…
Galar and Paldea have a long time to the first gym, but they really don't feel as opressive as the Gen 7 games. You get a lot more areas where you can just walk around catching PokƩmon and you don't have STUPID situations like the stretch from the school to the PokƩmon Center on the other side of Hau'oli City where you get stopped like every five steps. In Violet I think I played for three hours before reaching Mezagosa! Honestly I feel like the tutorial section of Sword and Shield actually ends when you reach the Wild Area.
Omg watching the alola intro was like bringing back repressed horrific memories for me. I did not like that games tutorials and cutscenes at all
Fact: Illima is a guy.
I really like Pokemon Shield/Sword. The tutorial length is exactly why I rarely play it again though. It just takes way too long!
just wanna say, the rival in the lets go games is named Trace, actually. additionally the male protag is chase and the female protag is elaine
Barry is Terry Silver Confirmed š
Hand-holding maybe, but also more story. Pokemon is trying too hard to keep up with modern rpgs, by having massive open world, story driven games.
Captain ilima is a he
Ah, firstgym%. The only time the Charmander line is actually usable. Except… wait a minute… if you go with Yellow instead Pikachu is even better in the early game. Here's why:
Charmander starts with Scratch, which is a 40 power normal type move, and has a base attack of 52.
Pikachu starts with Thundershock, which is a 40 power electric type move, and has a base special attack of 50. However, Thundershock is super-effective against Pidgey, Rattata's base special is 25 vs its 35 defense, Caterpie only has 20 base special vs Weedle's base 30 defense, and as a special move Thundershock bypasses Metapod's Defense Curl. So in theory, Pikachu has a significant advantage over Charmander for this route. The only two issues are the additional wild encounter at the start and the fact that you have to bash your way through Blue's Eevee during the lab rival battle, which from my experience is a harder fight than any of the matchups in Red and Blue. Oh, and the unskippable catching tutorial.
Well, so much for the fire lizard's time to shine. Sure, it was faster, but it was faster for reasons unrelated to the starter itself. If Pikachu was a starter in Red and Blue, it would be faster than Charmander for this run.
Ok, when you said "Ghetsis kinda has a point", I facepalmed. Keep in mind that Pokemon are intelligent creatures with abilities that could kill a human. The human isn't the one wearing the pants in that relationship, with the exception of a few exceedingly weak Pokemon like Magikarp (and even then Magikarp learns Flail at lv. 15). And before anyone tries to argue that Pokeballs are brainwashing machines, Yellow version's Pikachu, the Farfetch'd in Elix Forest from GSC and HGSS and the disobedience mechanic for traded Pokemon in previous generations prove otherwise.
At the rate they're going, the next generation will take an entire day to reach the first gym.
the new evil team.. behold āteam seizureā š
Watching this Iām so glad I skipped sun and moon and the sequel
The fact that he called the PokƩtch the 'poketech' is so infuriating.
Barry the coke fiend, I love it, I think that is going to start calling him that from now on.
Had to play on 1.25x speed, speaks way too slow lol
Idk why but you calling Nemona "Nemonia" feels so weird fipdsvn it's just a single letter but it changes the entire name
How much ketamine are you injecting? I put the video on 1.5x speed you're still too slow cunt
Pneumonia be there like "yeah I'm on NG+, cry about it n00b"
Just because I didn't see anyone else mention it, Ilima is actually a guy.
I already know Sun/Moon is going to be last
I had an "oh boy here we go" moment when you git to sun and moon remembering the nightmare that was that games pacing.
The new games feel like tutorials in their entirety.
I played sword/shield quite late so was able to get the 3 starters witj the best stats and hidden abilities from pokemon home for my first playthrough.
All 3 of them were overleveled by the first gym and not listening to me.
Partly funny at how long it took to get to the first gym and how overleveled id got them but also partly frustrating
Wow, this was a trip down memory lane.
Imma have to fight you for chikorita's honor.
