  • Girlfriend's got moxie... and she's boosted!
    My girlfriend is finally taking on the 5th generation of Pokémon! Back when I made my girlfriend play Pokémon FireRed the first time I never would've expected her to make it this far in the series, but the fact of the matter is she totally loves these games and can't get enough. After her amazing performance in the Sinnoh Region I had no doubt she'd do well in Unova, but by popular demand we're introducing Set Mode into the mix to spice things up a bit. This generation is widely considered to be the black sheep among the bunch, but we'll have to see how she feels about it by the end. We can't wait to share with you all the crazy things that happened when I made my girlfriend play Pokémon Black!

      @fellowpassenger_54-67 Місяць тому +18

      I think there is a real argument to be made that Ghetsis is harder than Cynthia
      Sure Ghetsis might be quite a bit weaker if you compare their teams side by side but other factors like the new exp system making it harder to over level a Pokémon, the limited options to counter his Hydreigon which doesn’t have a 4x weakness unlike Garchomp and is faster than a vast majority of the potential counters alongside having a much better move-set than Cynthia’s Garchomp which is super effective against most types in the game add up to make the fight with Ghetsis just as hard if not harder than the fight with Cynthia in DPPT

      @justsomejojo Місяць тому +6

      @@HowManySmall I was talking based on ingame context. Now, granted, I haven't played the DLC for SV (I assume that's where Kieran is from), but there are two things that made me put Ghetsis above all the others:
      - his Hydreigon is faster than almost anything else you can reasonably get AND has an atypical amount of coverage to bolster its high attacking stats. Not even the legendary is enough to beat it on its own without some luck, as seen in the video. Garchomp is powerful, but it doesn't have coverage. Ultra Necro oneshots most mons, but can be cheesed (even unintentionally) by the game's mechanics.
      - His team makes setting up and just sweeping a lot harder, because Hydreigon isn't his first mon and isn't even set to be his last (meaning after it tore through your team, the rest may be too much). His Cofagrigus having Toxic is specifically so you can't reliably set up and sweep, plus the slot is forced to be occupied by the legendary.
      Volo is likely stronger, but he is also that game's final final boss, which means you can overprepare for him in a way you can't for Ghetsis and the context is also way different.

Most of us who grew up on it (with it being our first or second game) weren't old enough to see the hate--but it was there. The designs were criticized as lazy and cheap imitations, and the first game only having Unova pokemon before the post-game was considered a horrible decision by many. The map was too linear, and the story was too edgy, or the rivals were too nice... there were loads of complaints, from valid to just ridiculous. Now most people who may have hated it realize the amount of love that was put into it and how genuinely amazing it was, and those of us who grew up on it and loved it can share our voice online too.

I love Tarny's reactions to this game so much. The way she gets so hype over the new pokemon and cool story beats is so cute and makes me feel so nostalgic for the time I first played this game all the way back in like 5th grade when I was 10. I just appreciate so much how her being a newer fan of pokemon and a lot of games in general means she's not yet jaded to so many things a lot of us are just kinda used to or act super picky about. She makes it feel like how it did when I was younger and didn't have as many preconceptions about games and everything was still exciting and new. This video just makes me smile so much :)))

Like how N only uses Pokemon from the route you're battling him in, Ghetsis' Hydreigon uses Frustraion (Frustration's power is based on how much the Pokemon hates its trainer, it could also means that his Pokemon really hates him).
