    To be fair: There is a reason why Nemona is so obsessed with you. There are a few indications and you can find enough Videos about that here on UA-cam, but let my summerise it short:
    Most people aczually refuses to battle her. This was going so far that she always holds back in battles, so that others can have fun to and so that they accept her challange. She is obsessde with us, because she sees someone who can rival her full power, maby even overpower it.

      I'm no fan of Carmine but I do think it a bit extreme that lots of people pin everything on her alone and none of it on Kieran, some going as far as stating without her there wouldn't even be a problem in the plot to begin with which is just highly untrue. Since the entire internet is essentially doing the roasting and calling out on Carmine, I pretty much turn the scope to Kieran and point out he isn't exactly innocent himself either.
      He does essentially apologize over his part which helps (especially since Carmine didn't) but it doesn't absolve him.

      @@GameAW1 I think a lot of the dislike for her comes from the fact that the DLC is riddled with "tell instead of show" moments. We're told about other traits the two siblings possess, but nothing we're shown about them reflects it. Case in point: Kieran tells us that Carmine has a soft side and was looking desperately for another mask for us that we could wear to the festival. However, her actual interaction with us had her saying: "Oh well, I could only find two. Guess somebody won't be getting one" in an arrogant, mocking tone.

    1 small thing about Giacomo. He followed the rules and was straight laced, true. But he was booted as President of the Student Council because he began to impose draconian rules on stupid things, and the power got to his head.
    When he was booted, students took their anger on him and bullied him. When the other Leaders(before they were leaders) saw this, they extended an olive branch and let him join up.
    He himself wrote the Team Star Code, and made it so No One, not even the leaders(current or future) could abuse it. And he was reticent about it too, considering what he did, which shows he now see what he did was wrong. But still he shouldnt have been bullied, none of the bosses or members should have

    About this list:
    Larry - Not gonna lie, this was a tough gym battle, even with zombie Primeape whose supposed to be the speediest of all Fighting-types.
    Brassius - You actually had something going with Tulip. Iono, her tera pokemon is Mismagius. Levitate + electric type equals no Weaknesses unless you use Gravity. Grusha. An Altaria becoming the very type that does quad damage against it. Tulip? Your Florges loses it's immunity to dragons and becomes weak to specters, creepy crawlies and the abyss. What the heck is wrong with you?! Although now Sudowoodo gets to live out it's dream of being a grass type.
    Nemona - She's very quirky but adorable.
    Arven - he gives us so many gut punches we may as well have a hole in our stomachs like that guy at the beginning of Kung Pow Enter the Fist.
    Team Star - Even though Ortega is the most insufferable his segment does offer the most lore, with Harrington being the director before Clavell took over the position. Also, you gotta love how Eri pointed out to Atticus that math is important in fashion since she does point out that he bought too much material for their Team Star outfits.
    Quaxly - Not gonna lie, a starter that DOESN'T have Hydro Pump anywhere was a bit of a turnoff for me, but Aqua Step does look cool.
    Sprigatito - I'm kinda fond of the Masked Magician look. Also, Nights reference.
    Fuecoco - I think we may have found the perfect pokemon partner for Ichigo Kurosaki, and a majority of the Espada.
    Koraidon/Miraidon - Koraidon was why I chose to complete Scarlet first. And you can't help but feel future paradox pokemon were pokemon that got roboticized. As Miraidon looks like a Light Cycle from Tron.
    Can't wait to see your opinions on Ogrepon and Terapagos.

    Larry's alright. I prefer Iono. I also never really found Fuecoco that cute, similar to how I feel about Rowlet. I think Sprigatito is a lot cuter, and while Skeledirge is kinda cool, it's not among my faves like Meowscarada is. Masked magician cat is just cooler to me. I have to say, Koraidon and Miraidon are a very close second behind Reshiram and Zekrom as my favorite Mascot Legends. Solgaleo and Lunala being third.

    I agree with a lot of your placements. I have the starters in the same order as you, with the Skeledirge line being not only my second favorite starter (behind Primarina), but also my second favorite gen 9 Pokémon (behind Great Tusk). Also I named mine KalienteRool, with obvious inspiration.
    For the friends, Nemona is a decent rival even though she’s a bit obsessive, I also cried once Mabosstiff got better (gave me major Homeward Bound vibes), and for Penny, I admittedly have a bit of a crush on her. As for the box legendaries, I will admit that Miraidon is better suited for battle, especially since it gets an additional boost to stab moves with electric terrain, but Koraidon gets ALL the design points. Overall, this was a great update video, Ari. I wish you the best for your family, and happy holidays.

    @striberx 9 місяців тому +2

    So giving my two cents about this as well.
    Gyms: yeah I get it. Larry makes perfect sense. Even if I love Iono more. But you're right about one thing. He literally is "A Mood". And agreed on the worst ones. Tulip and Brassius were so boring.
    Rivals: Personaly? I love Nemona. She has become one of my favs. I love her passion, and desire just to have a good fight for once. and if you see everything about it? So many people avoided her simply because she was a Champ and the Student Council President. She barely was able to make any real friends because of it and her finally having an equal made her so happy. But her placement does make sense even to me. Now as for Arven? I got nothing else to say. you hit the nail on the head.
    Villain Teams: Yeah, Team Star were the most relatable "villains/enemies" in Pokemon. We all can agree that we've been on that receiving end in some way. And the fact you help them out and help change them alongside giving them their due justice to the school? Who wouldn't love these delinquents? Plus Penny is also a mood too.
    Starters: Quaxly line... I honestly put it as D or F Tier. I didn't like anything about it at all. Yeah I get the motifs and such, but it still felt so boring and bland to me. I just don't like its line at all. Spriggatito line. I love this weed cat, it's so useful and none of its line misses. A-Tier fits well. and next, my chosen starter. Fuecoco. I adore this "head empty" fire croc. While I don't like its next stage? its final stage evolution i love. Such a cool pokemon. and props to putting him at S-Tier.
    Legendaries: A-Tier for them fits well. They're both really cool, unique pokemon and the fact that you not only get them at the start, but help train them up from rock bottom, is a neat way to add them into the story. Plus who doesn't love these sandwich puppers?
    Eager to hear your opinions on the DLC and such. Be well Ari and Josh!

    Hau is a better Nenoma rival than Nemona.
    One of them was flexible (and even mature) enough to notice when wacky shenanigans were acceptable or not. Either cause a serious moment on the story was taking place, a character was allowing themselves to be vulnerable, etc
    And the other one was Nemona.

    I agree with pretty much everything here. Though I do like Nemona a lot more than most seem to. She's basically what would happen to the main character of a Pokemon game after it ended: at the top with nowhere to go and nobody to challenge her. She sees the player's potential and realizes she can have a genuine challenge again and is so psyched for it. And she's basically the first rival to act like losing doesn't bother them and I actually buy it. Every other rival either acts like their losses didn't happen or seem bitter about losing even if they don't tale it out on the player.
    Arven is still better though.

    Oh funny thing about the Quaxly line. It turns out that if someone were to roll up to Geeta’s Elite Four with Nemona’s seventh gym team, the only Starter with any chance of making it to the end is Quaquaval. Period. Hassel is an absolute menace and his Baxcalibur can outspeed and casually OHKO everything with Glaive Rush, so Quaquaval with a Speed amp from Aqua Step is the only thing that can stop the sweep because he’s rocking Air Slash… which needs to hit and flinch nonstop till the PP runs out before crashing with another Aqua Step… just to push Baxcalibur’a HP into the red. Then Lycanroc with Accelerock and Pawmot with Quick Attack can come in to clean up.
    The other two Starters don’t have the speed, endurance, firepower, or shenanigans to cope with the severe level mismatch.

The entire gym was an office building, 1st floor as a lobby, 2nd as a waiting room, 3rd as an office where I would give therapy sessions & a battle field on the rood complete with high railings to prevent the obvious

    A therapist gym leader sounds interesting. What if they used multiple types instead of one single type. I mainly say this cause i love the idea of a comfort theme for a normal type gym leader. And there's quite a bit of different pokemon in the normal,psychic and fairy spectrum of pokemon that probably could fit a therapist pokemon team. Obviously plenty of fairy and psychic types

    I want a good four legged cat pokemon that isn’t legendary and has an evolution line as well. I am a huge cat fan so when I saw we were getting cat starters in Alola and Paldea I thought that they would end up being my favorite starters especially since I love dark type pokemon. Yet, with Paldea, even though I started my first play through with spriggitito, I ended up further with my ghost fire gator, which is another type I love. Granted I really haven’t gotten far in the games.
    Also, yes I hated most hms but I kind of miss surf as well. However, it kind of annoys me that when they took hms away they also took away the good and super rods. I know Alola still had a fishing rod, but you were limited to certain spots. Maybe it’s just me but I feel like they made it harder to get water types now.

    I doubt we'll get a mental therapist Gym Leader any time soon for a very simple reason. Pokémon is a Japanese franchise, and Japan has a very awkward relationship with mental health care. Basically, because of the Confucianist focus of harmony in their culture, mental health is often an afterthought at most and mental health care professionals are not typically viewed as the most helpful of people unless it's a major situation. If you're interested in a more detailed look at it, LadyVirgilia made a great video on the topic while discuss Maruki from Persona 5 Royal which I recommend looking up. She did a great job discussing several aspects of P5R and it's approach to Japanese societal issues which may be confusing to a Western audience that really clear things up.

    One thing I don’t like about Tulip is that she is a Psychic user. Reason? Because everything about her minus the gym trail & her Pokémon screams fairy type user to me!! But because the rich kid of team star is using fairy types, they needed someone with Psychic types. I mean look at her, she was clearly meant to be a fairy user base on her outfit & sees things needing a sparkle of make up! To me, she is the worst gym leader cause nothing about her other than her Pokémon says psychic, but instead says Fairy!

    19:18 also this mon was spammed in ubers before the indigo disk(now I still think it is good but pokemon like dusk mane necrozma and especially ho oh fill it's niche as physical walls) mainly for its type, unaware, access to will o wisp, and its sig move which makes it more threatening each time it uses it. Sadly outside of its usage in ubers it is in uu which is a decent place considering the crazy powercreep of gen 9. Speaking of ghost and starter type, basculegion is in the top ten in ubers. In the scarlet and violet home update it got access to the move last respects which is a 50bp kive which increases by 50 for every fainted ally for a usual(it has a very high cap but unless you are playing offline and can use revives or leppa berry revival blessing in a battle against another person) max of 300 which is 50 bp more than explosion and it is stab. Another broken thing about the move is that as a physical move it doesn't make contact so no flame body burns. This move was on houndstone who was banned until basculegion came out with the move and they decided to ban move itself. The main reason houndstone got banned was because of sandrush making it fast enough to sweep with the op move and even without it, I think tera fighting or another defensive tera, fluffy assault vest would be like gen 8 melmetal(constantly got banned and unbanned from ou) but worse. Basculegion is houndstone but more of a menace. It has 2 cracked abilities and one ok one. The main 2 abilities are swift swim which doubles your speed in rain and adaptability which boosts stab moves to 2 times rather than 1.5 times damage. At first people paired this with kyogre and slapped a choice band on it taking advantage of swift swim and last respects as well as wave crash a strong second move option. A new set came up out of nowhere involving his other ability being adaptability. A set using the item heavy duty boots and the move agility. This set doesn't need to rely on a weather that is snuffed out by the existence of the most used pokemon in the tier being koraidon and now relies on getting the right opportunity to set up. That flaw, the reliance on allies being ko'd and its vulnerability against normal and dark types(or scarf gen 9 box arts which do outspeed) make this set better than the swift swim one as well as balanced in ubers. Also speakin of balanced in ubers calyrex shadow rider isn't because of tera. Imagine calyrex an overtuned psychic ghost box art with ridiculous speed and special attack and an ability that is special moxie and unnerve at the same time combined with a 120 bp 100ac ghost move with no drawbacks whose main weakness is dark types and making them able to turn into a fighting type and gain access to an 80 bp special fighting type stab option. That is so op that it got banned from ubers. Imo the op titans are mega rayquaza (deltastream open item slot dragon dance cracked attack and solid speed, access to dragon dance, and dragon ascent with other good move options is the reason why), gen 8 zacian(crowned(apparently he got very nerfed in scarlet and violet but in sword and shield he was so overtuned that he pulled off a mega ray had way better defensive type, higher overall attack because of intrepid sword a boost in attack on switch in and speed that was faster then dragapult), gen 8 anything goes offensive yveltal with access to dynamax is argubly the best offensive pokemon even moreso than zacian crowned because max airstream boosting speed, max darkness just obliterating enemies with both life orb boost and dark aura, sucker punch turned max darkness can be a threat to mons like blissey too and max flare for zacian, gen 8 calyrex for being the most influential pokemon in ubers despite not being the highest in usage because of yveltal which was the most used because of calyrex being so powerful as well as life orb variants in anything goes taking advantage of dynamax making it more tanky, strong and good against yveltal due to max mindstorm(against a different opponent of course) setting up psychic terrain boosting his damage and granting immunity to priority sucker punch as well as doubling the power of draining kiss to max starfall, gen 9 calyrex shadow rider for reasons stated prior, and finally koraidon and miraidon who strangely enough aren't banned from ubers but they still are the 2 most used mons in it.

    With all due respect, I disagree with the vast majority of these selections. First off, Larry's blandness is the point of his character, I get that. I also think that the internet is hilariously overrating him. He's C-tier to me on a good day. Nemona's constant strive to better the player was actually pretty refreshing to me, especially compared to Hop and Hau, who were just very plain and boring rivals, I'd make her A-tier. You nailed the Team Star placement, though I'd like to say that they were low stakes, which means that they were never going to reach the likes of Galactic or Plasma.
    And for the piece de resistance of (apparently) unpopular opinions: Skeledirge is B-tier, Meowscarada is A-tier. I get it-- people fell for the furry bait, but Meowscarada was actually fun to use in battle. Its speed stat (being the highest of any starter to date,) coupled with its hidden ability, Protean, means that Meowscarada has an answer for *both* Skeledirge and Quaquaval. (And Flower Trick was REALLY fun to use.)
    Also, I'm just not a fan of completely derpy-looking Pokemon: Fuecoco just looked like an idiot, so I'm going to continuously pass on it. (Clodsire as well, since I know the internet loves it for some strange reason I will never fully understand.)
