  • Hi! As the game is finally officially available, I've decided to share my own experience from the game from beginning to End.
    I did absolutely everything from the game, recorded all the important stuff. If you don't want to get spoiled althought it's from a game that already existed, don't go on the internet.
    I hope you appreciate my videos content, not an easy task to do but I'm here now.
    List:
    0:00 Elite Four Rika
    7:29 Elite Four Poppy
    16:16 Elite Four Larry
    25:25 Elite Four Hassel
    36:41 Top Champion Geeta
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    All gameplay and content included within this video are from my own recording and from my own gameplay using AverMedia as a source and my Nintendo Switch.

    I like how everything about Larry screams average for his specialty in Normal types, until you notice that his stance for throwing Pokéballs is _insanely_ aggressive, and that he has little tufts of sky-colored hair poking out of his head. He's the wild soul of a Flying type in the easygoing body of a Normal type.

    I actually really enjoyed this Elite Four here. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think this is the best Elite Four we’ve had in a while. They have personality and interact with you throughout the game a bit.
    I’ve seen people dislike the bland room and the lack of victory road though. Personally, I couldn’t care less if they never brought back Victory Road and the room is pretty boring, but I honestly forgot about the aesthetics because I enjoyed the music, the battles, and how the Elite Four members interacted with each other. I thought it was really cool how they all stayed in the room and watched the next battle.
    The Elite Four in this game have more personality than the ones in past games (save Cynthia) so I’ll take that over a pretty room any day.

    • @TheBowseruler
      @TheBowseruler Рік тому +12

      His team and character design is pretty amazing too; not only does his look change a bit to match the type he uses (gray suit and tie for Normal Gym, blue suit and tie for Flying Elite Four), but his teams actually are thought to catch you off-guard and synergize. You see him at the E4 match and think "Oh, Normal guy, let's lead with Fighting!" only for him to give his quite odd speech about Geeta asking him to use a different type. What's the catch? *Flying-type*, one of Fighting's three weaknesses. He just got you to most likely lead with a member that counters his standard team only to counter it himself. His Staraptor is foreshadowing of this too, since it's on both of his teams and is the only Pokémon to be of a Gym Leader's specialty type to get terastallized.

In US/UM, Hala also rejects the offer, for... unknown to me reasons (maybe because he wished to spend his old days in peace?)

    I was looking through the previous elite four battles on this channel and I gotta appreciate the visual upgrades!
    There’s a whole bunch of character in the latest games’ animations that are far more than the previous games, and that’s just so impressive-
    The way that the motion of pokemon being sent into battle for instance, was conveyed through camera shots in the 2d games, far before cutscenes were a thing
    And now we have full one ones- You can see it in the way that they start the battle with a roar, and in the terastalization animations with the trainers somewhat flinching from the sheer power of it
    I just adore those so much, they’re lil details that you wouldn’t note always, but give a lot of character

      Regarding Dragon, the team composition is very interesting considering Baxcalibur is the new pseudo legendary with a very interesting signature move and while there are people who are very spilt on its design, I personally like it and the ability Thermal Exchange is very solid considering it prevents from being burned from a fire-type move in which its a big deal given its very reliant on the physical side!!! 🥴😻

His teams actually are thought to catch you off-guard and synergize. You see him at the E4 match and think "Oh, Normal guy, let's lead with Fighting!" only for him to give his quite odd speech about Geeta asking him to use a different type. What's the catch? *Flying-type*, one of Fighting's three weaknesses. He just bamboozled you to lead with a counter only to counter it himself because of "La Primera's orders". It's genius tbh.

      There was also the strange move picks, poor switches, and honestly just every time baxcallibur was used at all was questionable
      Ex: switching after a torch song/moxie/aqua step boost,
      Crunching pokemon weak to ice moves
      using not very effective moves
      switching off pokemon with super effective attacks
      switching into a pokemon with a type weakness(baxcallibur into tera rock glimmora)
      not having stab moves on the fire types (fire for talonflame, ghost for skeledirge)
      there's probably more, but those fights were so painful to watch that im not gonna bother

      I had a lucky egg on my garchomp to overcome it being in the slow experience group.
      Think it worked too well, because that thing is a God damn overlevelled monster

      The 10 years old rule to be a Pokémon trainer is only in the Anime, the games don't had such rule.
