    If they had went with only color change for Terra Types, they would lose accessibility for color blind people, they needed some kind of ecognizable shape. They probably went for the oversized hats because they thought it would be funny instead of something more subtle. There's probably something about readability in a double battle too.

      This is exactly the thing. If you have a machenic that drastically changing the status quo then it has to be very visible. Megas has their entire look changed and while it didn't give info on the new typing those could be learnt.
      For this where any one pokemon can become any other type it has to be bloody obvious. A simple aura isn't enoiugn becusee again color blind.
      Or a pallet change doesn't help on pokemon with very few colors like Gengar
      Yes the hats are goofy. Yes they are comically large. But you clearly know what each is by a glance regardless of color. Their sillouette alone would tell you

    I'm actually choosing Scarlett, because I love the legendary a lot more. And I think the reason it uses its legs instead of the"tire" is that it's just an inflatable sack, so you wouldn't be able to ride on it anyway. And then the future version of it they made it robotic so you could write on it.

    For those unaware, as of the writing of this comment (months later, two weeks after Scarlet and Violet release), Greninja is in the game, albeit currently unobtainable without hacking. It will likely pop up via an event like Charizard since that was the case for Charizard until said event as well. In addition, Protean got nerfed to only work once per switch in and Battle Bond no longer does a form change (but it does still do the stat boosts).

    • @minaashido518
      @minaashido518 Рік тому

      The battle bond thing is the only reason I haven’t sent a Greninja there through home yet, that is insane, the ash form is one of Greninjas defining traits in the anime and it’s pretty popular in games too with it being the only Pokémon you can use in the sun/moon demo

    i love Koraidon (i think i spelled that right) very much too, and the thing that popped into my head when i saw it ran/swam rather than use its "wheel" was The Flintstones where the family would stick their legs out of the primitive car and run around. design-wise, i'm leaning more towards Miraidon because i love its more shiny, sleek design. nonetheless i do love them both, it's not often i love both from the duo rather than one over the other (when that became a marketing trend back in gen 2)

  • @_aceofspades
    @_aceofspades 2 роки тому +18

    I’m sure someone has commented on this, but Koraidon (idk spelling) and Miraidon (again idk man) are designed as a inverse camouflage idea. Koraidon is a lizard who has evolved to have tire looking markings for when the tail curls up, and an inflating pouch/sack on its chest. These are a common defense mechanism, inflating the pouch to appear larger and more intimidating(something I often see in my brother’s temperamental bearded dragon). Miraidon is a robotic entity (presumably lab created like castform or porygon) who is programmed and designed to have lizard like features (the eyes, markings, etc.). They are the inverse of each other, both appearing to be something that they are not to fit into the ecosystem and survive.

      Stat Boosting is Multiplicative, not additive. Each boost step is 0.5x, so "sharply increased" doubles your stat. The maximum is 4x, which means that Belly Drum multiplies your damage by 4 (IE: from 50 to 200 per hit) competitive Pokemon makes *heavy* use of stat moves, to the point that any move that increases stats by more than 1 stage can be viable. One of my teams uses an eject pack and copycat to get shell smash on a Vaporeon, 2x ATK 2x Speed Vaporeon is a *terrifying* sweeper.

    • @if7723

      As someone who usually enjoys a pokemon game, no matter how much people comment on how bad it is, bdsp is the one game I felt disappointed throughout my whole playthrough. I tried to make it fun for myself like choosing a new team but just seeing every choice they made, the battles, animations, just everything made me dislike it so much its probably one of my least favorites with rby.

      @@lilli7040 I mean, BD/SP was made as an introduction to Pokemon for players that haven't either played at least one RPG in their lives (so newbies) or players that had only played the mobile games. It is also the best way to play the D/P (not Platinum) story.

    1:55 fun fact: Red Bull doesn’t give you wings; it gives you wiiings. The reason I heard was: they got sued by a guy who claimed they lied about the effects of the drink (he drank it and didn’t grow wings). I have no idea if this is true, but it’s funny.

    • @RabblesTheBinx
      @RabblesTheBinx Рік тому

      Not exactly, he sued because for all of their claims about the energy content of red bull, it's less effective than simply drinking a cup of coffee. The "wings" issue was Red Bull's PR team spinning it as a frivolous lawsuit (much like what McDonald's did to Stella Liebeck)

    Personally I liked all of them... except Cetitan, it's not bad it just feels like it's missing something, like it's unfinished, like I could see it being a mid evolution Pokemon, you know like they're usually considered as that awkward teen phase, especially for starters, more developed but not completely developed, Croconaw comes to mind it's always bugged me, Charmeleon, Ivysaur, Marshtomp as some examples (isn't to say all are bad either, I actually prefer Bayleef over Chikorita or Meganium, I use Chikorita in a Johto playthrough I stop it from evolving at Bayleef). It seems more developed, but like there's still promise, that it could turn into something else... but sadly I don't think it will, I think this will be a mono evolution Pokemon. On the other hand it's ball shaped, it could be an ancestor to Wailmer, a living fossil Pokemon kind of like Relicanth or Mamoswine, thought extinct but still alive today. If that is the case that could mean it evolves into a more Wailord looking Pokemon.

    I feel like I’m in the complete opposite situation with the Kiraidon and miraidon wheel thing. I was originally going to Violet but after seeing Kiraidon runs instead of using it’s wheels I’m planning on getting scarlet. I think it’s a lot cooler that it acts like a real animal and has more personality in its movements then just being a bike. I would rather ride on a cool legendary lizard then just a cool looking bike. There has to be more people who think similarly.

    My theory on what the 3 Stories will be:
    ~ Gym Challenge
    This one is confirmed and standard to all mainline pokemon games. Earn badges, beat the E4 and champion, become the strongest in the region.
    ~ Fill the Dex + Terrastal Phenomenon
    Instead of it being a side project that unlocks some postgame, you can be rewarded for filling the dex with gifts every time you reach a certain milestone (like how Juniper gave you TMs in BW for filling the pokedex), with the criteria to unlock the Terrastal area being that you have to fill the Dex to a certain amount (perhaps 60%?).
    ~ A Legendary Hunt
    Basically, the Frozen Tundra DLC. A character who's interested in lore talks with you about where Legendary Pokemon are rumoured to be, also providing rewards. What would be REALLY interesting is if the Legendaries' levels scaled with your amount of badges, like the Gym Leaders do, so people who like breezing through the game with absurdly powerful legends can do so.
