Interesting to hear Megaman broken down as though from a child’s first impression, rather than from my meta-gaming-ass perspective when I first tried it in high school. Gotta factor in cultural knowledge as well - “everyone knows you start with Chill Penguin!”
What I realize is that my biggest problem with most game I don't end up fully enjoying is this transition from one "chunk" to another. It's a thought act to balance on some games because there is also more things involved, like complex narrative, but getting the right flow between "chunks" should always be top priority.
To add, I think what you’re describing maps onto what many would call “pacing” without really understanding it. I also found it insightful that you were able to take Pokemon and analyze it through a lens more foundational than “the Pokemon,” i .e. connected blocks of content. Great stuff! Looking forward to the next one.
Sure, that's one of the interesting things: who you pick as your first ever fight is verrrry different from who you pick when you're trying to win after a week of dying.
It takes some skill to take a topic like this and make it tangible. Very nice.

Hey i know this is unrelated but it be cool if you started making stormworks videos again with all the new mechanics out
Sorry, that seems unlikely! But I hope you enjoy playing it!
You have to be an experienced player to pick Quick Man first! Airman probably the easiest to start with.
