      You have to nickel and dime with Lotad and Lombre before getting a Water Stone, which takes you a while because it isn't available until after the 7th gym. And while you have Lombre, you don't have any strong moves until you get Surf after the 5th gym.
      Seedot and Nuzleaf aren't much better, but at least Nuzleaf gets Faint Attack. Nuzleaf also has more attack than Lombre, which mean Fake Out does more. You also get to evolve Nuzleaf earlier, since you get the Leaf Stone in route 119 before the 6th gym.
      However, I will say that in the long run, Ludicolo is better than Shiftry thanks to being a little bit bulkier and having access to Ice Beam and Surf.

    When you were comparing Vileplume to Victribell with petal dance and Razor leaf for Red and Blue, its also worth noting that what you were saying later about speed and high crit moves in gen one also applies to razor leaf.

      @@salamibandit3070 Both games have very broken (although different) mechanics for calculating critical hit probability. Sricharan is however right, so you should keep your snarky ignorant comments to yourself. The critical hit chance always depended on the base Speed of the Pokemon using it, so it would change depening on the Pokemon. And it is never always 100% for every Pokemon, in any of the games.
      For the high critical hit moves, probability of getting a critical hit in Red/Blue/Yellow is BaseSpeed/64. So any Pokemon with a Base Speed of 64 or higher will always get a critical hit using Razor Leaf. So Venusaur and Victreebel will always get a critical hit, but Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Bellsprout and Weepinbel won't The lowest rate is for Bellsprout, which still gets a 62.5% chance of scoring a critical hit with Razor Leaf.

    Something else about that Gen 1 Vileplume x Victreebel thing:
    Razor Leaf is almost 100% certain to critical hit, so it’s actually a 110 base power move. Also, Victreebel learns Wrap and Stun Spore and you know how OP Wrap is in Gen 1.

    • @visgrapplinghooks
      @visgrapplinghooks 3 роки тому +18

      Yeah, the exact percentage is 99.6%. With Victreebel being faster as well, it's much easier for it to sweep any water or ground types in Gen 1 making it extremely useful against the first two Elite Four members. That said, though, Venusaur is a much better grass type in Gen 1 due to its bulk, higher speed than Victreebel, and the fact that it absolutely destroys the first two gyms early game.

    Unova games added an important difference for the first time: a location.
    White had the White forest, full of rare Pokemons from different regions, while Black had the Black city, full of strong trainers.
    Plus, ending White 2 gives you a key for an easy mode, and Black 2 gives you a key for a hard mode.
    I'd say White/W2 is made for collectors, while Black/B2 is made for competitors.

    With the whole “Ho-oh being better than Lugia” thing, Lugia is FAR better. Ho-oh is probably the worst Uber in Gen 2, and because lugia is super defensive, it doesn’t really matter what types it’s weak against. Also with Ho-oh having a “better typing” that also means Ho-oh has a weakness to 2 of the most common attacking types in the game, water and electric. Meanwhile Lugia isn’t weak to water.

    • @robbnoble1509
      @robbnoble1509 Рік тому

      My thing was that Ho-oh has this amazing attack stat but doesnt learn any decent flying moves for STAB. Its signature move runs off its mediocre special stat.
      Meanwhile Lugia has above average attack and special and gets a 120 power STAB flying move and can learn psychic through a TM for good STAB damage on its above average special stat all while being an absolute tank.
      Lugia far outclasses Ho-Oh in gold and silver, as much as I love the 50% burn rate on sacred fire.

  • @f.dud4
    @f.dud4 23 дні тому +1

    For the Ho-Oh and Lugia situation, I would say that their signature moves are "version exclusive."
    When accessing to catch these legendary Pokémon early (Level 40), they have their signature move, Sacred Fire for Ho-Oh and Aeroblast for Lugia.
    When getting them after defeating Pokémon League and access to the Kanto region, they will be Level 70 without their signature move.
    Since Gen 2 doesn't have any move relearner (only move deleter). That just means that obtaining their signature move would be available by trading or cheat code.
    The enhanced version (Pokémon Crystal) isn’t better either as both legendary Pokémon are post-Pokémon League so they are higher levels but not as high as its sister versions (Level 60) and they don't have their signature moves.
    Of course, the remakes (HGSS) improved this by having access both signature moves for each legendary Pokémon.

    Not exclusives, but I think in Gen 1 it's still worth mentioning Caterpie/Weedle. In Red, Viridian forest will be swarming with Weedle making that early game stretch harder if your Pokemon get poisoned. By contrast, not only is Viridian forest easier in Blue, but Caterpie evolves into the much more useful Butterfree, so not having to put as much effort into finding one is a double plus.

    Me and my friend have always had this neat rule for which games in Pokemon we pick we always do it where I get the first Pokemon game and he gets the second, so like I'd get Sun and he'd get Moon. This literally always works because we usually like the legendary of our games more anyways.

    Love your vids. Although personally I wouldn't have ranked the superiority of the pairs based on which was technically easier given the available ingame Pokémon. Having a more challenging route through the game isn't necessarily a bad thing IMO, plus the end game and competitive opportunities should matter more in my opinion.
    With that said I accept you had to choose one criteria, and respect your decision.

    Get 2 buddies over, ask if we have any preference of 1 game/starter over the other. If more than 1 guy likes the same stater we drew coloured marbles and the colour is what you pick (red for fire, blue for water, green for grass). Fortunately we never had a 3 way tie for the games. Then once we picked our starters we traded around so all 3 and their evolve forms are in the Pokédex. Then when breeding/the cloning glitch from Gen 2 was a factor we traded eggs/the clones.
