      @@cloy552 same here one of my worst nightmare is breaking glasses. After one pair got broken it'll atleast take a week to get a new one and for that entire week there's no phone no Nintendo Switch no PC oh no studying too that's kinda fun cause my parents are extremely overprotective about my eyes like if have sharingan or something they'll never let me do anything without glasses.
      So seeing him breaking those felt like seeing someone breaking his own bones.

    Also, Wring Out is a Normal-type move that deals more damage if the enemy is healthier. It's pretty much an instant kill if it crits.

      It's weird because usually the games will acknowledge your starter being whatever it was at the actual start, even in the oldest games. Strange they decided to hard code it. Then again this is the generation where if you modify your starter the rival will often end up with the wrong team through out the game.

    Interesting that there's so much of the strategy predicated on getting the crits, secondary stat changes from offensive moves, opponents missing, and status effects, but never expects bad things to happen to him. He plays on what feels like 50% luck to me and seems to be wrong a good amount of the time but talks what the results of every move will be with such confidence
