Fun

Glad your enjoying yourself man, Have fun!

Should’ve named her little woman

Honestly, same. It's one of those games where I couldn't recommend it to someone who hates poor performance, but otherwise... I mean, it's beautiful and super fun! Game Freak should be ashamed of how they released it; I'm not ashamed I like it.

Glad you’re enjoying it, it’s a real shame they messed up the game so much though

It’s like that meme on Twitter like “aight Imma hate this character. Damn, this backstory got hands.”

Arven is a great bait-and-switch. Spoiler Dude was wanting to save his dog and just wanted a caring parent. Dude had it rough. Definitely made me like him the most, felt like the only one of the 3 rivals to have a proper arc.

@@randomcanadian6298 he was also somewhat neglected by his mom/dad depending on which version youre playing

I literally did his entire quest before the other two. One badged it lol. I just. Doggo.

It even feels like the academy owns the entire island.

There's going to be a DLC where you get to visit the industrial slums that support your island full of mansions. You're living on a Tropico tier archipelago

And they are actually really fuckin strong too, very much viable in competitive (at least in singles)

I honestly like the idea of just a normal animal being in the world of pokemon. It's like that bear joke from the last airbender

@@Leo-fy3ij I will know use flamingos in my real life battles, because they have OP stats

I’m guessing it’s a reference to the Spanish word for friend, “amigo”.

Listen, your student debt is forgiven in the event of death but if you are expelled you still have to pay it back. So in this case being expelled is the worse.

They always could have put terra-blast on something

@@ethe2nd662 well they didnt use terra blast a single time until the finale, but yes they couldve

​@@UshioKiss yes

@@EinManU oooh interesting info then

They are Just Built diffrent

With how much people get absolutely blasted in the anime, this has always been pretty clear

Iirc some of the in game reading says that humans and pokemon are pretty similar (specifically in platinum where it talks about people and pokemon marrying). But if you have people able to turn others into dolls like Sabrina, what's a hyper beam from God at the end of the day?

considering that people can turn into pokemon. The humans in the world being stupidly durable shouldn't be surprising.

@@SrZyrkon that whole message makes me wish that I'd been in the Pokémon universe. If only to be able to do wacky shit like doing a rap battle against God and surviving its comeback.

For real. I’m not sure why it took Pokemon so long to figure out that the story of a game about catching and building a relationship with their magical animals should be about, ya know, the relationship between a person and their magical animal.

It actually hits pretty close to home for anyone who has (or had) an elderly/chronically ill pet. Watching your buddy go from spirited playmate to a shadow of their former self unable to do basic stuff is pretty hard.

@@SolarArmadillo For Real?!

Man, people really be shitting on SoulSilver . I know they mean Sword and Shield

Yeah, for real. I have not seen the rest of the game, but that one single cutscenes touched my heart more than any other part of a pokemon game ever has

But they're like lizards, no?

Or a cat, since they just go out whenever they want

@@mastermarkus5307 lizards are just kinda funky dogs if you think about it

@@The-Silliest-Little-Guy four legs, angular head, longish body. Yep, definitely dogs.

Tinkaton is an apex predator, and that's just great.

The fact that even Corviknight’s Pokédex entry confirms that Corviknight taxis don’t exist in Paldéa because they have too many natural predators.

@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 Polish also and mostly means - to refine something, smoothen out, add a shine, etc. In this case it means to put more work into something and to fix or add the final touches to improve the product.

@@MusicComet woosh

@@neymiiie They do yearly games. They have 3 teams working on those games, with the main team working on the mainline games. Now that SV is done, the team that worked on it should have started Gen 10. Despite the fact that it's about 3 years away.

botted comment?

@@mariilz strange that this comment has so many likes tho. whatever

@@rub_y It's just that you're not used to getting likes, so you can't relate when someone else gets them. lol A number of likes doesn't equate to someone being a bot. Your logic is scuffed, like the glitches in this game.

@@ReptilianTeaDrinker bro i could care less about how much likes a comment has. i was literally just pointing out that it was kinda strange that comment has so many likes because similar comments to that one usually never get any likes.

@@rub_y Haha lol, you think.

It's cool that they're trying to push for a new visual style for the pokemon games, but it's also a questionable decision considering how atrocious the performance of the switch is.

BUT the freaking memes that are going to come of that, it will be larger than the Shit Volcano explosion. (The framerate thing)

@@tsunamie1015 it’s not the art style necessarily, otherwise games like breath of the wild would be unplayable on a switch. It’s the lack of basic optimization. Ive noticed from watching videos that for some reason the game renders entire cave systems even if you aren’t even close to its entrance. That is a massive amount of polygons to be constantly rendering and never be seen. Stuff like grass and trees as well do not have good LODs and clearly overall they didn’t have time to finish their rendering systems.

@@travisdickens4304 three releases a year will do that

@@travisdickens4304 Was just saying that, even just comparing it to Legends Arceus they want the game to look better and tbf in some areas is does. But as one can see from the ground textures, tree models, animations and lighting they're aiming for far more than the switch can handle. BotW was more optimised, yes, but it was also far more stylised. Scarlet/Violet are now some sad amalgamation of ambition and Switch restrictions. I hope that they're able to fix the issues you mentioned and manage of optimise the game more. That said, even if it ran at 60 fps it wouldn't particularly looks good.

Seriously. People are saying the story is good, but seeing all the Team Star dialogue just reminded me of bad gen z tropes.

I thought Arven was going to have a villain arc at first ngl

@@rico9374 Giacomo pisses me off to no end solely because gamefreak ripped off Grimsley's hair.

@@baronsionis6855 they could be related or smth

Yeeeah, besides the Mystery Dungeon games (which were made by Chunsoft and then Spike Chunsoft, who have more of a background in story-driven games in the first place) the Pokemon games have never really risen above mediocre writing.

Someone of culture, I see.

YES! CULTURED!

That's some Lost Empire knowledge there. Could mistake you for a Scholar.

*gets dogpiled in a gang war with Team Star and after the resulting battle:* "Alright, who's not dead? Sound off."

ah my childhood

I could understand if they made an exaggerated portrayal of an internet celebrity but she's just a normal person outside the cameras I think that the problem might be that the developers main exposure to these types of people might be vtubers and idols which are already exaggerated portrayals

@@airplanes_aren.t_real given her placement on the screen is incredibly v-tuber reminiscent during her gym test, I'm thinking that the v-tuber angle is 100% what they were going for and basing her off of. Just like, a real person cosplay instead of outright v-tuber.

@@s.colins2050 yeah but they don't realize that most vtubers aren't that appealing to most people and cater to a specific audience, it would be completely fine if they did some vague influencer character with an ark or an interesting personality but she just seems to embody all the annoying aspects of vtubing, she's overdramatic, her design isn't good, her humor is mid and her fans are trash It was okay in sun and moon with team skull because they were interesting characters but this is just cringy

@@airplanes_aren.t_real Galar was team yell not team skull; skull was all the way back in sun moon

@@EeveeHawkFan oh yeah, sorry for the mix up

@@ThatPearlKid honestly, that’s basically the first thing I was reminded of when Cassiopeia happened

Oh yeah def beacause it's canon poeople have basically human level of intelligence and sentience

i think in the second episode they cook up a magicarp and tarous ranches exist despite them not producing products meaning the meat is the product

When you can’t even go vegetarian or vegan because plant type Pokémon exist

It's been canon my dude

It was canon since gen 1, magikarp and slowpoke. There's been more over the years like barraskeuda and others but they're mostly fish pokemon.

Lemme guess, saltydkdan?

Many a true nerd on my end

I honestly loved the main storylines in these games, I understand the games are jank and some bits don't look great, sure i wish they had more time, but what we got wasn't bad honestly. I've seen lots of people talk about the games in a negative way, it's a shame they didn't have longer but the stories weren't bad, the typical gym stories were good, the team star was good kinda fucked with me given my own similar experiences with bullying and such, and the arven story line just broke my heart at every step. Maybe I'm easy to please but despite the many shortcomings I think these are some of the better games of the series. Anyway thanks for coming to my TedTalk, I just wanted to put some positive words in for the game amidst other negative things I've seen.

@Lazarus I'm right along with you on this, i loved the storylines,and really liked team star, likely because of my own experiences with bullying. I feel like people aren't giving this game enough credit- and those who expected it to be completely flawless were deluding themselves. I do wish we could fight the elete 4 again, but i still love what we have. I loved this game and fully plan on playing it again some day, even with its flaws.

Ehh, it's okay. Great is a stretch. Maybe with a couple months of patching it'll be closer. The cities feel extremely empty too though. There's only the gym and then a bunch of duplicate shops in every city.

It's pointless though, because if you grind up enough to actually beat it then you've just killed the fun for every other gym. And it isn't like you can use high level caught pokemon, you've got to get gym badges like usual to use caught ones above level 20.

@𓂸 Genwunner

@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 How does that make him unintelligent? Literally everything he said is true.

@𓂸 why is a game being made in unity a bad thing? Some great and gorgeous games were made using it. I think you should legends arceus a bit more credit, it completely changed up and revitalized the game mechanics. Plenty of people absolutely loved the game, even if it’s ugly as hell and doesn’t have great environments

It'd be hilarious if they still refused to pick quaxly even if you picked the weed cat

I hate how accurate that is

@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 I can’t tell if you’re stupid or this is just a bad joke

your rival’s a champion-level trainer, she’s sandbagging

I think we haven't played the same games, even with the starter counter, it never was a challenge

Moxie nearly got owned by the starter she had.(Ironically it was the duck) And he is doing a nozlock of this game. So the panic was real.

Imagine if there was a game where your rival is an absolute push-over for the first-quarter of the game, goes missing around midway, comes back when you're approaching the endgame, joined the evil team, and got a major competency upgrade.

@@Lianoria It took weeks for me to beat Gary in Cerulean City. Granted, I was 6 at the time.
