    Gen 1's battle system was created very late in development because the devs just wanted to make it about catching pokemon, and battles were just gonna be automatic. Though Nintendo basically forced them to add a battle system with like 4 to 5 months left of development.
    The fact that the battle system works at all is a miracle in itself...

      When Game Freak was developing Pokémon Stadium, they realized that they had no specification documents for the battle system left. Satoru Iwata, who was working for HAL Laboratory at the time and had no affiliation with Game Freak, studied the original source code for the battle system and successfully implemented it into Pokémon Stadium in just ONE WEEK.

    Stadium has a few small mechanics differences from RBY, like Hyperbeam actually needing to recharge (even if you miss), partial trapping moves not damaging the upcoming Pokemon, sleep only lasting 1-3, substitute actually being very good and blocking status moves, focus energy working properly and some others.

      Also, don't forget the most important: Crit chance behaves different in stadium. They're not necessarily more or less frequent, but less reliant on base speed due to a 76/1024 constant added but only scaling with a quarter of your speed instead of half of it. In short: Slow mons crit more, medium speed crit more or less the same, fast one crit less.

      There are more Pokemon now (though not close to a thousand in any individual game due to dexit) but they already had better battle animations up to Gen 4 from Pokemon Battle Revolution that could have been reused for at least half of them if needed. Gen 5 added a lot of new Pokemon that didn't have contemporary 3D models, but after that the incremental additional work needed per gen should have been less than Gen 1.

      Scyther unfortunately has a few problems, namely it's Slash is weaker since even though it has higher Attack, it doesn't have STAB, Scyther is slower so it gets outspeed by threats like Starmie, and Scyther just doesn't have a good solution to the rocks. Scyther does fair a bit better against the ghosts with a 10% chance to 4hko Haunter as opposed to the 8hko that Persian would have to settle with because of Bubblebeam... though Gengar does do a minimum of 70% to Scyther with Thunderbolt and outspeeds so eh... I guess it can function as an okay alternative to Tauros on Normal spam teams, but I'm hard pressed to find a situation where you'd actively want to take Scyther over Persian.

    0:29 i'd like to see you try out the Battle Revolution rentals.
    not the ones you're given after beating the Rental Pass tournament (like Nate and Cyndy); i mean the rental mons you obtain in the Trade Battles format.
    let me give you the context.
    it works as follows: you beat the opponent, and you choose a pokemon to trade - *just 1.*
    there's Single, where you choose 3 mons, and Doubles, where you choose 4.
    there's also ranks to climb. the higher you climb, the more pokemon you "unlock".
    more context: i know the moves because i went to the site called "Pokemon Battle Revolution opposing pokemon data".
    depending on the format you choose, the rental pokemon's moveset changes. for example, Charizard in the Single's format Trade battle gets Fire Blast; in Doubles format, he gets Flamethrower.
    every rental pokemon has 3 fixed moves, the 4th is *random.* and their item and ability are random, too.
    if you're searching for a rental pokemon with a specific 4th move, not only are you forced to choose one of the candidates that are probably not that good, but be prepared to endure HOURS of grinding! why? because the opponent can only have 3 or 4 pokemon in battle (depending if it's Single or Double), so you better hope they're using the pokemon you're after in the battle; and pray that you win, because that's the only way you can choose which mon to trade! and even if you manage to beat your opponent, chances are the mon you're after won't have the move you want, so you'll have to start all over again!
    (i didn't get past Rank 4, because i *knew* what i had to do and how long i'd take)
    the point i'm trying to make? some rental pokemon in Battle Revolution have a fantastic moveset, such as Flygon in the Double Trade Battle: it's 3 fixed moves are Earthquake, Dragon Claw and Protect (get used to seeing that move in the Trade Battles section of the site i mentioned at the start. most mons have it); with the candidates for the 4th random move being Steel Wing, Dig, Stone Edge, Solar Beam, Rock Tomb, Flamethrower, Secret Power, Fire Blast, U-Turn, Dragon Pulse and Giga Impact.
    while other mons are basically screwed over, like Salamence - also in the Double Trade Battle: who has Dragon Claw, Crunch and Protect as the 3 fixed moves; while the candidates for the 4th random move are Rock Smash, Facade, Aerial Ace, Rock Tomb, Rock Slide, Fly and Secret Power... he didn't even get Heat Wave as a candidate, let alone Flamethrower! nor did he get a Special Dragon type move. not even Hydro Pump.
    how is any of this related to Stadium's rental pokemon? you think Stadium's rentals have questionable movesets? wait 'til you get a load of some of the movesets of the Battle Revolution rental mons! (if you visit the site)
    Battle Revolution 2/Stadium 3, should it happen, better have improved rental pokemon.

    Important DV considerations: Jynx outspeeds Zapdos, and Charizard probably does too.

    I wish i knew all of this years ago. I didn’t get to use my own for a while as they were either too good for one game mode, but too bad for other ones. Rentals were really the only ones I used. Also, used the game as a new game plus to trade pokemon back to myself after starting a new game, with mixed results considering i only had one version of the game at the time (good luck convincing mom and dad to get you what looks like the same game to them).

    While I DID have Pokemon Stadium growing up as a kid, I did not have any sort of GBA adapter so I played with only rentals growing up.
    I did learn a whole lot of Gen 1 stuff tho over time like how 1 hit KO moves are based on if the user goes first. (Meaning Paralyze them to half their speed and then 1 hit KO) or even that Toxic and Leech Seed stack together. (What I mean by this is as Toxic gets stronger, so does Leech Seed.).
    Today however I learned why my Slash team critted way too often. (Still love that Dugtrio can Slash.)

    The concept of rental Pokemon always seemed so funny to me. They just exist to be marched out into battle, they aren't very good, they're free - Just send them out to get obliterated. There's something disturbingly cavalier about calling them "rentals."

    The whole "psychics are the best type" thing is a bit overstated. They're only the second best type in regular RBY OU. The actual best type is probably normal: the big 3 (Chansey, Tauros and Snorlax) that you see in every serious team are all normal types. They generally have amazing coverage options (which means they aren't even walled by rock types), as well as access to stab hyper beam and body slam, and the type that was supposed to counter them (fighting) is absolutely terrible at its job. The big 3 aren't as good in stadium though since their rental movesets are ass.

    I was unaware until Big Yellow's video of the terrible DV's slanted towards the better Pokemon such as my boy Zapdos. He glossed over it in that video in a few seconds and I've found Zapdos to be mandatory with the amount of good things it brings to the table lol.
    I guess if you play it all smogon like the DV's are bad enough it impacts speed creep.

      @HoodlumCallum growl is usless and mimic is a gimmick but it only needs its spam slash and a move to hit anything that resists slash, bubblebeam for rhydon and golem. It doesn't have any other good moves besides maybe substitute to scout a switch so id call it pretty optimal

  • @isuckatgaming1873
    @isuckatgaming1873 Рік тому +2

    Theres many things i want to comment on here, vut theres two specific things that i just wanna say -
    For psychics, It doesnt matter that there are only 3 ghost moves in gen 1, or that the only non set damage one is the garbage lick - after all, in gen 1, psychic is immune to ghost.
    2 - though charizard and zapdos speed tie by bst, in rentals the stat experience is different based on the pokemon you choose. Zapdos has very little stat experience, and thus it gets outsped by jynx and haunter in rentals, and likely doesnt come close to speed tying charizard. Same thing applies to Persian and starmie - Persian is just flat faster than starmie, despite the same base speed stat.
    Neither of these are detriments to the video, i just like to talk about gen 1 stuff.
