I feel like it’s also worth noting that Ice-types lost a lot of relevance once Fairy-types were introduced. In gens 1-5, Dragon-types were this legendary and rare typing that was near impossible to deal with. Given that Ice-types were usually fragile, you couldn’t even rely on them all the time because a well timed Flamethrower would have the Ice-type neutralized. Meanwhile, Fairy-types tend to be bulkier than Ice-types, have key resistances to Dark, Fighting, and Bug types, and are immune to Dragon-type moves. Instead of rely on a frail Ice-type to be one’s dragon slayer, there are Fairy-types now.

-I'm actually in a weird demographic where I'm a gen 1 veteran and stopped playing after the first 3 gens. I absolutely refused to get a DS because the marketing material gave me the impression that EVERYTHING was done through the touchscreen and the buttons were only there for GBA backwards compatibility which put me off because I absolutely only wanted to interact with my games through sticks and buttons (Same story with the Wii and motion controls actually). -Smash Bros sold me the 3DS as an adult and this is when I finally became aware that the stylus and motion controls were just an ADDITIONAL set of controls on top of the traditional ones. -I got back into pokemon through the Hoenn Remakes. I've played X, Sun and Sword. Had to sell my Switch to pay for rent soon after and to this day have not played any DS era games.

Gale of Darkness did the 7 mon team first

This video makes me understand why there are so many mangas where the main character is a healer.

Bdsp Cynthia will definitely be in people’s books as one of the hardest bosses platinum Cynthia was scary but I do not know what the hell they did to her in bdsp she’s triple times scary in that game

I'm really happy with what they ended up doing in S/V, I hope they keep this far into the future!

Spiritomb, because it was the hardest to figure out how to handle back then.

I was so hoping you were gonna use Alpharad's reaction!

I think Gastrodon is supposed to be Cynthia's exception. While I believe she loves all her pokemon (several friendship evolutions), I think she just loves Gastrodon so much she didn't want to exclude it from her team. Sure it's stats aren't the best, but when the rest of your team is Cynthia's team, does it matter that one Pokémon is falling behind in power?

As someone who did look up her team in BD, even that didn't make the fight as easy as these people claim. Granted, I didn't have an ice type on my final team (which would have helped), but the team is still that well built. If I hadn't let myself use items, I would have lost. Throw in the fact that I only looked her team up because of her reputation, and I'd say that she's still incredibly effective at frightening new players. I'm literally replaying BD to challenge her fairly now, and the thought is legit terrifying.

She lost in the anime...I think we are at square one again!

Interestingly enough, I only really remember the 1st and last members of Cynthia’s team, yet I remember EVERY single member of Red’s team in both gen 2 and the gen 4 remakes (of gen 2).

5:03 “I’m Cynthia, I’m a trainer just like you.” BIGGEST LIE EVER

Hi3: my DPS is my sustain.

3:35 That Guilty Gear clip is absolutely diabolical. Great choice on showing Chipp and Pot for the 2 extremes of fighting game balance.

Informative ✅ Insightful ✅ Quality ✅ Meme-magical ✅ This unique take on the game design aspect of Pokemon really refreshing. Earned a sub! Especially after the Gintama reference. A man of culture i see.

From my memories playing this game. I never feared the garchomp. But the spiritomb was always scary to me

8:19 before you said this I tried to name them heres what I got roserade garchomp spirit tomb(distinctly remember this bc I spent a lot of time as a kid trying to get it after seeing her use it) Lucario milotic edit: I should note ive beaten diamond pearl platinum multiple times and my platinum english save have over 300 hrs in which ive beaten the elite 4 as good 100 hrs of that leveling up mons for fighting friends also I forgot she had a togetikiss bc it always got 1 tapped unlike the others cynthia never beat me but she did make me down to my last mon on my first playthrough my last mon was a magikarp with bounce at lvl 60 bc I left it with xp share and refused to evolve it destroyed that to roserade

I, personally love playing healer, to be specific the Cleric class in DnD (circle of death of Jergal), the past year i started in a campaing for a party that didn't really had a focus healer/buffer. Not gonna lie, at first i wasn't convince bcuz i mostly like being either tank or sneaky, but with just a few session i learn how fking damn important is to have at least ONE person. 👏 HEALING👏THE👏TEAM. Because if you fall, the entire party does (unless you have a paladin in the party too), now im starting to love more and more healing, and also, deciding who lives and who dies (mostly). You become really important for the team, but in the case for DnD it can be tedious, at times, but you dont need to always heal, sometime buffing can be the same as healing or even more efficient.

I disagree she needs introduction, some of us never watched that much of the anime or got to play black and white

I thought I needed to battle alot and come back 😅

"Pecking Order!"

I cant play without barbara i hate having chars not at full health (unless its kit relevant) barbara heals me and just slays i like her design and her story especially with rosaria i have farmed ocean hued clam for her even maiden yes maiden also Anti albert squad

so the real reason it was a hard fight was because we were not using gamefreak's intented strategy

I remember being stuck at her for weeks as I loved to go into fights underleveled, she changed that. I beat the Hoenn regions elite 4 at 35 but I maxed out after her beating and still needed more prep

8:16 Spiritomb, Rosarade, Togekiss (Those are the three I had issues with and come to mind first) She also has a Lucario and if I remember right a Milotic. Scariest fight ever so yeah I remember that one. It's also the only time I've EVER lost a trainer battle, let alone 3 times... Speaking of which, I guess I can leave what happened here 1st battle: Couldn't find Spiritomb's weakness and ultimately ended up losing multiple pokemon to it before brute forcing it. Made it up to Togekiss with my remaining Pokémon but due to serene grace, kept flinching and got swept 2nd battle: Made it all the way through to the Milotic, but with only Staraptor left, couldn't close things out. 3rd battle: Got all the way through her team with better routing, so I still had Infernape and Luxray left for her last Pokémon, and well that did NOT go well. Earthquake crit on my Infernape (who had also just used close combat), one-shotting it and then because it was super effective into Luxray, it also got one shot. (Luxray was only level 55 tbf) Edit: Oh I forgot to mention I went and caught, leveled and EV trained (in speed) a Weavile just for Garchomp :) (After losing)

“What is a Spiritomb?” immediately enters your mind. Most players: “the FUCK is THAT!?”

Why do you Ice Punch Dusknoir?

Cynthia is the reason I don’t use legendaries at all. It was so demoralizing to witness the god I just captured get stomped by a land shark.

There are some more things that make Volo's twist great. For one, his obsession with the plates and the legends of the region is very in character for him being an ancestor of Cynthia, so many (me included) just thought they were focusing on that portion of Cynthia instead of just her battling. Kinda like showing he is moreso the ancestor of Cynthia's grandmother than he is just Cynthia. This also makes his quest more believable and makes it easier to forget how he is basically Cynthia. Another thing is that the title "pokemon wielder" is very intimidating for this game. There are no pokemon trainers back then, so much so that the player catching a starly is insane to the residents of Jubilife. Very few battle and none of them are very good at it, so seeing Volo titled as a "wielder" of pokemon, meaning he actually knows how to use them effectively in battle, makes him much more imposing. And on another note, Giratina's theme having a flatline in it is cool af.

My buddy described Cynthia as the next evolution of the Red vs Gold battle.

Onyx is a SUPER COOL GIANT ROCK SNAKE. It doesn't need awesome stats to be the best, it already is! :D

12:40 Two words: DPS check

28:32 I am dying of laughter 😂🤣😂 I understand it but still dying

8:20 Spiritomb. First time playing the game as a 7-year-old kid I lost half my team to it because I didn't bring any PP-restoring items.

Idk bro I beat her in both my first time playing platinum and later on in renegade platinum, on my first try😭

Lewdickrelous is one hell of a werd man....
