The variety of Pokémon teams you can build in this game, with older Pokémon and new Pokémon, is the best thing about this game, what an insane roster
i love the added evolutions to older pokemon. definitely had to have Kingambit and Annihilape
I didn’t think it was crazy till I realized there was 400 pokemon in here, and spent 6 hours of my life in 2 areas trying to catch everything
I actually did Alfornada Gym as my third gym which was absolutely ridiculous but I enjoyed coming up with a strategy to win even though my Pokémon were way under leveled. I had to use a 45 level disobedient Pokémon to cheese a little bit but I made it work and it was very satisfying.
I didn't know about the pokedex rewards until I accidentally pressed the X button. I was so shocked because it was well after 100 entries and I just got so many rewards.
LOL as you were describing why to do the gyms in order and you were destroying Iona’s team, I was overleveled destroying Iona’s team😢😅
I was just exploring and tried to do my first gym without knowing that Grusha was the strongest Gym leader. Had a hard time but managed to beat him. I was looking for a stronger leader until I learned that he's the strongest. XD
And there I was, exp farming to lvl 50+ before sweeping through gyms in order 😈😈😈
Lol. I'm in the same boat. I have (just got my 4th badge last night) I already have a level 52 terra Jolteon and 55 terra Dragonite) saw the 54 Dratini as I fell off the side and surfing around the island trying to find a way back on without flying. Lol. Jolteon helped me take out the steel titan too. Even though he didn't listen for shit.
Also, if you talk to nurse Joy at the Pokemon centers, you have the option of asking her "i don't know where to go next", and she will put on the map the recommended place you should go next. This means that the game will guide you so you go in order with the gyms, and the Titans. It also helps with the overwhelming nature of too many places to go to from its open world nature.
I did this, and Nurse joy pointed me in an extremely wrong direction. I went out of order because of nurse joy. don't do this
I find this funny. For literally decades people have been asking for an open world Pokemon game. And the moment they get it, people claim "Do things in order" its just amusing to me.
Nurse joy will actually do 1 of 2 things if you ask her 1 she will point you to the nearest objective or 2 (if the nearest objective is beaten already) she will recommend the objective closest to the level of the strongest mon in your party. For example when I asked for directions at the pokecenter closest to team stars fire base before Mella was beaten she pointed me there even though I was drastically under leveled then when I asked again at a much higher level after I had beaten mella she directed me to grusha's gym even though I only had 3 badges this was because I had grinded up to about level 47 at the time and grusha's pokemon are at 48.
Honestly, the gym problem with player being over level and under level can be solve if the game can match your current pokemon level when battling gym in random order. And Yes, that pink smash smash pokemon along with weird alien looking Pokemon Glimmora, is my favourite for this new gen, so much fun using them on my team!
For your gym leaders issue, it would have been worth mentioning/suggesting that if you take them out of order you can always change your pokemon to match the level of the gym leader to try out new pokemon and have fun with a lot of different pokemon! This way you can still have challenging gyms if you've beaten higher level ones!
That’s a great idea, except I always plan my teams before I start a play through to end up with a good team for the end game but I only use mons that will be in my team for the entire game, meaning for much of the game I have less mons than normal. I couldn’t do that if I had to swap out party members for a gym. That’s why I had to look up the “order”.
Yep I did that since I caught so many pokemon it was wild, funny as hell and felt like a better challenger
I just asked the PokeStop lady for tips and she gave me the best order to take on the challenges.
One of the things I did early on was go right to the edge of somewhere I’m wanting to go but couldn’t get to, focus on a Pokémon and then throw your Pokémon to initiate a battle. It then transports you over to where the pokemon is. Sadly, the worst glitch my partner experienced was a deletion of his entire game file, and he had to start over.
Rip to the 1st save file 🙏 we’ll never know the full potential it could have had 😭
He could've recovered his file, at the title hold up on the d pad, b and x to enter the save backup screen
@@nathanmarshall745 if it happens again we will definitely try that, it’s been smooth since he started over. I think he left the game running continuously for too long.
@@Wtfcody yea that’s a known bug unfortunately, try and reset your switch every couple hours
My top tip is to buy moo moo milk, soda pop and Lemonade as they’re cheaper and regain more HP than their potion counterpart
I saved the trainers until after I got the amulet coin so that I could "negotiate" for more money lol.
Speaking of Tinkaton, I saw someone point out something hilarious. Scarlet's dex entry claims that Corviknight aren't used as ubers in Paldea because of their natural predators attacking them in flight. Tinkaton's entry claims that it likes smacking rocks in the air to shoot down Corviknight. No steels are safe from the metal working doll thing.
this is what i love to see, every video i watch different youtubers have vastly different teams , including my own..in the last few i always felt limited with the amount of pokémon and seen a lot of similar teams but they deff got it right in this aspect 💯
By the time I remembered that Pokedex rewards are a thing, I had 300 pokemon caught so I had a LOT of rewards to get lol.
Only if fir knew this in his 48 hour non stop stream to be the first person to 100% the Pokédex😂
For those who wont play it in order, just change pokemon often, i raised a whole box going through the game. The whole challenge in any order was probably even to encourage people to try different pokemon
Thank you for the tips. I’ve been trying to figure things out. Btw, this game is not as bad as what people are making it. It’s far from perfect, but it’s not unplayable. I haven’t had any major issues.
I just got scarlet yesterday. Working on completing my 3rd gym. I don't care about the graphics or frame rates. It's fun and I'm having a blast playing it.
Doing the gyms out of order a good thing because it gives you more reason to use PC pokemon that are under level that you have been wanting to train.
Oops! I didn't know the Bug Gym was first. I went with the Grass Gym first and then jumped to the Electric Gym. Lol! Iono was actually kind of challenging! But it felt good defeating her!
The world should scale up with your Pokémon level with a level cap. That’s what should be done since the beginning
I’ve been so focused on breeding a shiny Fuecoco that I’ve done practically nothing in Scarlet so far (except getting pretty good at making jam sandwiches) I’m thinking of fighting the first gym leader first, then taking on the titans to free up the world (I used to be a master at breaking the map with Wyrdeer in PLA, but I’m not sure about doing the same with Koraidon.)
The bright side to skipping lower level trainers initially, is if you go back and train low level Pokémon, battling those trainers will help with that.
The thing that I figured out is this:
You can have no gym badges and still be able to handle pokemon that are above the listening threshold. But there's a catch.
Say you have only one gym badge. Yet you have a pokemon that's say level forty that listens to you. It will listen to you but only if you've caught it previously. When it was say Level 5 and raised it to level forty.
Learned that lesson while getting my Anihilape. I was wondering why my level 35 Primape was still listening to my commands but my level 29 freshly caught Varoom wasn't.
Also I would recommend you complete the gyms and the titan routes side by side. Bc the more titans you beat the easier it is to explore and reach those destinations.
For instance after beating the False Dragon I recently gained access to the snowy mountains and the second to last Star Boss on my list.
But get the climbing and the swimming abilities first
I can see the back jumping for hills being nerfed. Better enjoy while we can.
By the time they nerf it, pretty sure everyone has gotten all the Titans. They're pretty easy compared to the other Path of Legends.
The one thing I didn’t like about playing this game is that I felt like I had to do the gyms ASAP because of how high level my Pokémon were getting and how high level some of the wild ones were. I wish that the badge level limits would be higher instead of just bumping you up a measly 5 levels each time.
The good thing about that is this game goes off of the level you met/catch the Pokémon, not their current level! I didn’t realize it at first but they did the same thing with PLA as well. So you can overlevel your team as much as you want as long as they were under your level cap when you first got them 😊
@@MeganW17938 I just learned that. But the thing is say you have not gotten the first gym badge yet and catch a lvl 21. When you get the first badge it gives you 25 if you raise that 21 up to 26 I think it disobeys you but not sure. I got a Tera Scyther which was lvl 22 on the way to the first gym (Feucoco baby!) and was dreading trying to use it after.
Just 1 helpful criticism is that it's not a guaranteed 1000LP for clicking on the crystals for raids. The amount of points vary on the level of the raid battle the crystal presents. The minimum is 500LP for the level 1 raids. But other info is spot on my guy 👍 good video and helpful
I have 60+ hours my Pokédex is complete and I have a few shiny Pokémon. My honest review is the games mid, I’ve been playing since fire red and leaf green and it is a very fun game and a step in the right direction. Once they work out the performance issues it’ll be a really great game but other then the performance issues they could do better on the Pokémon next time around I did like a a lot of them but a few felt like they were first draft Pokémon that just got the pass when I know they had better designs.
But the game is fun and I do recommend getting it If you can look past the fps issues. im super picky with fps but it didn’t bother me much in this give it another update and it should be good solid 7/10
Im loving the game. So crazy how much I’m having fun with it….exploring around 👌🏼
tinkaton is def my new fav pokémon! i found them accidentally and put them on my team and have never regretted it! like you were saying they come in clutch all the time.
I seriously thought my switch was going to break when I did the sunflora task. Game was running at like 5fps.
Thanks for the advice about combatting the memory leak. I didn't even realise that was causing some of the performance problems. Hopefully, Game Freak will fix this memory leak eventually.
Thanks for talking about the Battle Pass! Haven't seen anything about that yet.
The #1 thing I love doing are the raid battles....got me a dratini today
I discovered the battle pass thingy I think a little before defeating the last gym, at this point I hadn't been everywhere but in the areas I had been in, I caught every new pokemon I saw. I had SO many rewards
They go in an order that you can do a gym, a star mission and a titan then repeat, so it breaks it up and still makes it feel less linear.
Didnt know about the battle pass. Now i got so many rewards after discovering this. Thanks man
I feel like "challenge every trainer you see" has to be an essential rule for every nuzlock in this game.
The pokedex tip! A hidden gem
Thanks, ima go pick it up today.
Combine 1 with 8: you can backjump the mountain at the start of the game, near the character house, and keep climbing until you found some ruins, all pokemon there are about lv10 and right there you can find the tinkatin, the small hammer, so early game that feels like cheating
I did the Titans early and then just got 8 gym badges. Next I'll be grinding exp, another thing that is broken is the ride Pokémon with all its abilities, nothing stops your travels
Wow. I completely beat all three storylines & am now doubling back to the terra raids and gyms to finish the Pokédex… did not know about the battle pass 🤦♂️ Thank you!!
one thing I learned myself was the back hop and my god it made the game so much more fun
I like it that Pokemon is teaching people to go up to people
I disagree with the reverse jump and the gym order, I caught so many pokemon, I reached each gym in whatever order and then decided what pokemon to use based on the level of the are/gym itself, so it always felt good; basically I did what the gym leaders would be doing "Let's see what is your level... then I will battle you with these pokemon that aren't busted"
As I fought the Gym leaders, I don't think there's a necessary order, but it looked like there are tiers of the gym leaders.
Btw, another reason why players should beat Gym leaders from the weaker to stronger, is because if you go to the stronger areas without gym badges, catching wild pokémon is a headache not because they are harder to catch but they won't obey you in battle.
Which is irritating because if I caught it I should be able to command it. If anything the fact I caught it while being so under leveled should have the pokemon obey purely because it's impressed
I recommend everyone buy mint from the chansey shop. Mint changes your Pokémon’s nature to exactly what you want so you don’t have to nature hunt anymore. Also spend money on held items from the delibird present shop.
I think there is two more things to know.
1. Weather teams may be hard to use. All gyms are out in the open. So at any given time during a gym, trainer or Pokemon battle weather can kick in. So say you're doing a trainer battle and it's raining and you want to set up sunny day. This move will fail.
2. Some Pokemon that are not rock, ground and steel types are immune to sandstorm. As long as they have a ability that benefits being in the sandstorm. Note that these Pokemon do not get the special defense buff like rock, ground and steel types.
Hey thanks for the great vid! I'm at the very beginning of the game and just came across a mention of the battle pass within the adventure guide "The Pokédex App" section. Thought you might want to know!
you didn't want to feel overpowerd but you were happy to find the overpowerd pokemon 🤔
Appreciate the battle pass info 💯
I knew Tinkaton was OP, as soon as i saw that cute Pink gummy thing i caught it and added it to my team, it really is good to have it
Lol I saved the last 3 gyms to do in order but I was still 30 levels above them and ended up sweeping anyway. There’s just so much that distracted me from the gyms that I ended up overleveled
watching this with a party of level 50's but im only half way through each story line. good video, thank you
From what I hear basically everyone agrees the game is great, if only it wasn’t for the performance issues.
All we can hope is Nintendo see this as an issue and starts giving their consoles a little more power to compete with the other big consoles
The switch isn’t the problem tho, it’s just Pokémon , the devs already said there’s a memory leak
It’s like cyber punk running like crap, it’s not the PS5/XSX being underpowered, it’s literally just the game that was the problem
The switch isn't the issue. Others games like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 proves this. This is on Game freak and Nintendo for allowing this. Some of these issues were in sword and shield, like autosaving corrupting your save.
Im playing my second ay through and i can say im glad i played early so i can play a more strategical way this time
the one obvious thing the game DOES tell you though is that it's unfinished. it still needs some patchwork. then it will be close to a masterpiece.
Even if it performed flawlessly, I wouldn't say it's anywhere close to a masterpiece, unless we're just talking in terms of other Pokemon games.
In that case, yes, I'd agree it'd be a masterpiece by Pokemon standards
@@aklepatzky highest selling franchise in the world? Sure ok
Best franchise in the world? Far from it
I found a dragonite in a secret spot lol the pokedex does not even say a habitat
It took me awhile to actually get into the game because of its performance issues but once I got to a certain point of the game it started to become so much more enjoyable! I am addicted now. I really like the changes they've made to make this pokemon game new and exciting. I know the performance issues do hinder the game but the game itself is so much fun
I beaten two titans one Star base two gyms and face
a map crashing my game and my Pokémon appear
from behind along with my character and floating
Pokémon ball when initiating battle and I got a Ceruledge
Quaxly evolution the third one animation oh boy that
Pokémon got the moves
Something I discovered when I started playing the Violet copy I got is that right after that cave you travel through with Miraidon, if you go back down the path you'll find a Houndour just behind this tree. Something I didn't do in Scarlett.
So I'm wondering if I'm the only one that discovered that or is it some rare spawn.
Nah you can even go back into the cave the same way as the cutscene shows and they spawn inside the same path.
Me Jacq does mention the battle pass in school bro! Great vid tho
True, But I kind of wand to restart. Its a bit overwhelming but I'm enjoying it
Wow I didn’t know about the Pokédex bonuses, I did the 4th gym before the 2nd and 3rd gyms 😅
I've already beaten the Elite 4 and I didn't know about that battle pass...
This may be random but i love the way ditto spawns in this game
Tinkaton🙌🔥 Gigaton Hammer, Facade, Play Rough, Knock Off
Tinkaton is my favorite new pokemon. She so strong n tanky
I found some dope spots to level grind and tackled them before doing anything. My starter was in the 40-50 range by the time of the third gym.
Ooh girl what you do! made a move!
Any lack of difficulty or exp is mitigated by the fact that there 400 pokemon to switch between
I cant wait for the performance stuff to get a bit better and ill be there. i just have to play docked.
I don't want to have a Legendary just to get around... or a Special Ride Pokemon... I want to be able to use my own Pokemon that could do that, without being Penalized by it taking up a Move Spot... just make it so that once your Trainer learns how to make their Pokemon do the Move, all their Pokemon will be able to... if they are Physically Able to do so... that would be awesome, lol.
And say you could randomly come across a burning house, and you can use your Water Type Pokemon to help put out the Fire... stuff like that...
I was stuck catching every pokemon I'd like to use on a team. Leveled far too much for the story lmao. Then I realized there were nature mints smfh. Nature hunting for quite a few hrs. Got some serious mons tho so well worth it.
Didn't Sword and Shield have memory leak issues too? Does turning off auto-save help with this game as well?
I started the gyms out with 2, 4, 8. Almost every other one was a cake walk except maybe 6 and 7
also get the mystery gift as it is Pikachu
I'm so glad I did the gyms in order because it would have been so boring to battle low level enemies later in the game
I’m at least three hours in and I haven’t even gone to the school yet….
I got lost after the 4th-5th gym and ended up at the ice gym, still manage to beat it under-leveled but still, regret not going for the other gyms.
I bought it then but w the reviews I didn’t play it until recently and it’s awesome. Yes it can look a lot better but we can’t compare it to the Zelda’s that are complete perfection. That said, they could’ve polished it a lot more.
I did the gyms mostly in order, I forgot the psychic gym existed tho and did that one last 💀💀
I wish the game would give you a suggested level for each quest. Doing them out of order is great until you come across a gym or titan 20 levels higher than you
I mean some of the glitches presented might get patched such as the backwards cliff glitch will be fixed. But it's just my two cents. Perfromance will also get fixed as well. Among many other issues.
How are you so sure about that? Gamefreak isn’t a big dev company and they’re probably working on other projects as well
There might be a few minor fixes but i doubt they’re going to get all the major issues
@@Tyreker i mean they never intended for players to "sequence" break like that and cut the play time for one. It's good for speedrunning yeah, but not for the main game at all. I know gamefreak is a bit miffed about it. Again, I don't work for gamefreak and some of the minor issues like backwards cliff jumping will be patched and pokemon falling out of bounds, etc etc will get fixed in due time.
What is that thing he’s using in the beginning ? The attachment with the tablet and contraer
Get Nacl or whatever and then kill the 3 titans for traversal. That's what I did. Didn't even need to do that backwards jump. Didn't do the final 2 titans until after I was champion.
You say tackle the trainers. Well I am having a hell of a time finding some of them. I looked it up on google and the only list I can find of the trainers and where they are is incomplete.
Tinkaton is the fuckin MVP! I loved her so much I spent 16 hours shiny hunting one.
i went out of order but i had diffrewent teams at diffrent levels so i bad sure to make each team jsut under the level of the earlier gyms
If and when you get that 400 Pokemon caught reward I think there is a teaser item you receive for an expansion pokemon type to come in an expansion that may or may not be planned all we can do is wait and see 🙈🙉
Instead of going for trainers, I just do tera raids to get XP candy and feed it to my pokemon. You blast through them when you group up online. Easy Xp
im doing 12 hour session.. how often i have to restart?
It so weird even now I haven't encountered any issues or performance problems on my launch switch I don't get it 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Also fantastic video with no spoilers much appreciated
My favorite is Palafin
tinkaton! love her
Its not perfect but I am still really enjoying exploring with my Quaxly 🤷♂️ only got it yesterday 🥰
I used Naccelstack with Salt Cure and Sturdy made the first 3 titans very easy
Tinkaton is the sole reason corviknight is not the taxi Pokemon in paldea.
