Interesting. My theory was that it might have been a bit of word play with the Spanish word for thank you, gracias, but this makes way more sense.

A sub well earned for the madman

Lmao the game was out for more than a week if you know where it happened. Dude's well prepared.

Really I thought he was gonna fail the challenge

No it’s not an average guy it’s a normal guy 😂

Buisness suit Larry 😂

"the exceptional everyman"

I thought the Tera types would be all over the place, but it turns out they usually match the original type

Later in the game it's possible to change tera types but very grindy to do so

I love my steel tera coalossal

I love my rock Tera Paldean Tauros ^^ I had to counter flying, fairy and psychic somehow

He swept the elite 4 and Sada ^^ Love Tiny, he is a very small Tauros

But fairy doesn’t resist itself

@@ultimapower6950 Correct, but Misty Terrain is pointless for Fairies most of the time anyway: if halves the damage from dragon moves, which aren’t even doing damage to fairies, and it blocks status. The status blocking is nice, sure, but there’s no power increase to Misty Terrain. BP 130 STABless Steel is stronger than BP 80 STAB fairy if both hit neutral

@@ultimapower6950 steel roller can only be used if there is a terrain on the field, otherwise it fails. So the AI set up misty terrain so it could then use steel roller.

My favorite part about Larry is that he doesn't have a gimmick, or quirky character trait. He's just a guy at work.

​@@Olivia-mh8wq Being just a normal guy with a normal look and a normal personality *is* Larry's quirk!

It also bypasses accuracy checks. It’s effectively a never-miss 210 power move with no drawbacks.

@@drygnfyre *157.5 Crits only increase damage by 1.5 since gen 6

@@leandrolhez5142 70*1.5 is 105 for STAB. Then 70*1.5 is 105 for crit. Will give you 210.

@@drygnfyre Check your math Base Power: 70 Base Power + STAB: 70 * 1.5 = 105 Efective Power + Crit: 105 * 1.5 = 157.5

@@leandrolhez5142 I always thought that was how it worked but it seems it makes calculations based on base power (70 in this case). I was assuming 157 but one of those calculation sites was saying 210 because it factors in STAB and crit as two bonuses off the 70 power.

Gen 1 razor leaf

Wicked Blow 2, Grass type boogaloo

And can't miss

Yeah, it’s a great move. So it really has an effective power of 210 with no drawbacks.

@@drygnfyre Not really, since gen 6 crits only increase damage by 1.5. So its efective power is closer to 157.5, slightly stronger than STAB earthquake. What's funny is that it's not even the strongest starter signature move this generation. That would be Torch Song, from Fuecoco's evolution. It's an 80 power fire move(EP 120) that raises your special attack every time you use it.

Agreed, so many game players now hate dialogue, even when it's written well which is odd to me. Not to say I have anything against them, but personally I love how much effort went into the narrative of this game, flaws with it and all. I am a certified lore enjoyer and dialogue reader, and I guess that's just me. Good to know other people also like it though, because if we go back to getting SWSH (or like most other pokemon outside of gens 5 and 7 tbh) levels of mid writing it'll suck.

@@greyscaleadaven Well, dialogue is fine but a semi-long unskippable cutscene in tge middle of battle is kind of annoying. Even moreso when you consider the likelihood that JRose loses two or more times while attempting to find a strategy and is forced to sit through it again That said, somewhat unfortunately, the way he plays isn't very representative of the whole community so I can't in good-faith say it should be re-written to make it better for a minority. Even though I really do think it's not a spectacular place to put it on the whole (the silver lining is that at least they didn't go overboard)

@@Altair1243WAR I'd like it if you'd seen dialog before you could choose to skip it

@@greyscaleadaven Within the pokemon community you'll find there's a large number of people that don't like RPGs. So it's not really surpising that a ton of those people complain about RPG conventions when they appear in Pokemon.

@@TheWrathAbove You know what, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for pointing that out, because as someone who enjoys both it now makes perfect sense why I feel like sometimes I'm at odds with the interests of other people in the community. Most people feel this way about RPGs: you play though it once, do everything, experience the narrative, and you're good. I like competitive in the vacuum of Pokemon Showdown from time to time (though I might get into it this generation on console), but I honestly grew out of challenge runs after doing like the 8th nuzlocke on my copies of black and white and B2W2 when I had a lot of free time. Now I can't even get through one, and I've tried a lot of times. Not to say that they're not my cup of tea, more like I enjoy watching other people do them for content instead of doing one myself. Point being, of course people trying to play the game in a different way are going to have different thoughts on repeating dialogue like that. Let alone a community mostly filled by people who enjoy challenge runs and competitive simulations more than the base game's campaign.

They sound like nicknames for Monster Hunter bosses

@@ZorotheGallade OH MY GODS THEY DO

Imo the names reflect pretty well the fact that these Pokémon don't originally exist in the game world. The normal mons all received unique names through language evolution, but since the paradox mons have been forgotten / came from the future, they don't have such names in the game world and instead had to be named by a single individual who happens to quite bad an uncreative at naming things.

My first thought was they have my little pony names

@@LRM12o8 To me the names seem totally normal for extinct animals, except that they’re in the localized language of the game instead of Latin or Greek. “Triceratops” literally does just mean “three horn face”, “Pterodactyl” is “wing finger”, “Deinonychus” is “terror claw”, etc. Heck, even “rhinoceros” means “nose-horned”. Would you consider Scream Tail and Great Tusk more creative if they were Clamocauda and Megastorthynx, or something along those lines?

And the editing only starts after he's done with it. Insane stuff!

@@OddYxD Indeed

Pretty sure he received an early review copy.

@@dzigayu4944 Only reviewers get review copies, Jrose is not a game reviewer.

@@RoyArkon Your post is simply wrong. Plenty of streamers/content creators get early review copies of games when their content is not explicitly reviews.

Most people already know this. What a lot of people misunderstand, though, is that defensively, you change to that type. Meaning if you were a Fire/Ghost type, and you tera fire, you then become a pure Fire type defensively, no longer being immune to normal moves or weak to dark.

@@CaseyDreemurr literally no one doesn't understand that

Least of all given that he had (SPOILER) to spend 5 hours just to win the very last match. Not editing after completion...just not losing against the final boss's team.

I didn't expect it either. Even Violet was not joke due to the Future pokémon which their names all go by Iron "something" got a future delibird, and it's quite adorable as a future mon

It kind of did happen. Other than the rival just taking the win, in yellow it determined what type the rivals eevee turned into.

Honestly I didn’t know she did that as I crushed her every time. That’s a cool feature though, I’ve wanted that possibility for ages

@@jbz4788 this comment was speculative

@@maddiesmenagerie8853 I was referring to just the part where she can win and the game continues rather than forcing you to beat her before you can progress like (almost) every rival battle in the franchise before now.

@@093Megaman I really like this, and I wish more games did this. Like your rival starts with a Normal type, and depending on if you win or lose, determines what starter they get (whether it's weak or strong to yours), then, the outcome of the second battle determines one other pokemon on their team, or something. More details on the Yellow version thing: You start with a pikachu, because yellow version. if you win both the first battle with Gary, and the optional battle on the path towards the league, then his Eevee will evolve into Jolteon (resists pikachu's attacks). If you win the first battle, but lose the second (skipping the optional battle counts as a loss), then it will evolve into Flareon, neutral to pikachu's attacks. If you lose both battles, then it will evolve into Vaporeon, weak to pikachu's attacks.

I think it's a double reference, since Brutus and Cassius fought in Spain.

Yeah boy!

Replying to your comment to boost the algorithm

Triple boost. Super effective

It's a pokemon game dude what are you worried about being spoiled? You should know the deal by now lol

@@7deuc2e38 I think they mean spoiled as in strategies and wanting to have the first run fully blind

More effective

Mere HOURS more like.

Funny enough, I fully EV trained my pokemon just because I enjoy training my pokemon, and the only reason I had any trouble was just because I went into it a bit underleveled and using a team comp I was kinda still just learning. Was pretty fun honestly not just automatically sweeping them. Admittedly, it was still easier than I had hoped though. Still hoping we get the battle tower back in DLC and they go all out setting the teams up with proper builds like they've done in the past. Even if the rewards of the tower are pretty much pointless, I just hope they give it back to us and honestly, just stack it with solid builds, perfect IV's, etc. With the reduction to the Hyper Training requirement level, there's no excuses for them to pull any punches with it. Especially since it would obviously be end game content.

@@jasonfoxfire9563 battle tower would be cool especially since I trained a couple of mons for tera raids and I think I'd be able to put together a decent team

He also compared a Bidoof to a Fuecoco, which is unfair. Obviously Fuecoco is stronger and a fire type

I would assume both, because Brutus and Cassius fought in Spain.

Did it work?

Halfway through the game. Working on an elite four strategy. I don't know a Single LECHONK is viable but a team of 3 is killing it

@@thedarknesslord666 All hail the CHONK

I know that's right... This video is essentially making me want this game

tbf its a very stupid argument

Unfortunately, Game Freak has made mostly handheld games for the past 25 years so I don’t think they’re too skilled yet at the graphics needed for a nice looking console game. I think SV is a huge upgrade visually from SwSh, but Game Freak has much more to learn if they want to keep up with other games visually.

@@vincenthall5908 That's a point, I didn't consider, actually. But still, they obviously test their own games before release. IMHO, that's the point - when noticing dramatically dropping framerates or that ridiculous gras artifacts - someone at Game Freak should have considered a delayed release.

@@muelee9702That’s not Game Freak’s choice, Game Freak just makes the games, The Pokémon Company calls the shots. And they really want their games to stay the biggest in the world, but it seems like they are forcing a slowdown somewhat with ZA.

What sucks is that there's a lot of potential in this one...some very cool Pokemon, interesting moves, a huge opening of strategies with the tera mechanic...and it's just completely wasted on a mobile-esque piece of shiny-but-meaningless garbage.

Isn't that serious just stop being a fan.

@@notscorchingsands9718 if it ain't that serious get tf off my comment

@@davidshepard-alenko4232 The next game you will comment this again. Just move on and be happy.

@@notscorchingsands9718 how presumptuous. you purport to know what I will do or what will make me happy. you really are clueless. go worry about your damn self.

Let's go: is that Eevee or Pikachu?

I finally got around to start watching this run having finished the game. I actually think the game is really fun but it isn’t worth replaying until maybe they at least improve the performance and add some quality of life improvements. This game is hell for jrose challenges though with how long it is (18 events).

It's by far the most fun pokemon game I've ever played, and well done. However, I can understand why someone wouldn't like it if they ignore the characters, dialogue, story, pokemon, and plot. It's almost like ignoring 80% of a game detracts from it or something.

@@jin11779933 yeah i love jroses content but it just seems like hed rather a pokemon game be nothing but battles (he didnt like the gym challenges or base raids, where i thought they were more interesting than most gyms just being a simple puzzle contained in the gym itself, and they werent long) playing the game like that is asking to hate it, especially when you hate "cutscenes" in battle when you ignore the story of those characters

Pretty sure the pun with Giovanni is supposed to be on the "geo" since he's the Ground type gym leader. Also, Lorra-Lie is completely wrong (it's Loh-reh-lai, after a siren from German mythology) and Jrose knows it, but people got sad when he started pronouncing it correctly for a while, so his version of the name has become an inside joke.

@@rainpooper7088 "completely wrong"

Sleep was optional

lol what? it made it a totally pointless mechanic, whatever one-shotter you brought in to counter their type just continues rolling face. would have been way more interesting if they tera'd OUT of their expected type

@@cashnelson2306 the one exception is the electric gym, that one is actually smart because Mismagius also has levitate.

@@cashnelson2306 It's more the concept of it, not the mechanics if that makes sense. Like we all know gyms aren't very hard, so the least they can do is make the tera pokemon unique and interesting in other ways. Each one has a narrative, in character, or conceptual reason why they tera the way they do, and that's the cool part. Though there are a few exceptions to this, like Grass/rock being perfect coverage, Ice-type altaria to beat ice type moves which are normally quad effective, or Iono.

​@@cashnelson2306study sudowoodo with trailblaze counters bug and rock and flying pretty well

Unfortunately, that's not me haha

Yeah the game actaully runs like crap

@@Jrose11 I know this is because the switch can’t handle it, legends arceus had similar issues but it looks even worse this time. Hopefully they can improve it a bit with updates. Great video tho

@@timball8174 Oh switch can handle a lot worse but this game is just optimized very lazily

@@porkyminch5131 GF has always been terrible at optimization. There is no excuse when they make so much off this franchise. We shouldn't work to pay for subpar products.

Seriously. I can't say I'm very hyped for Scarlet or Violet content.

@@Pyxis10 So long as it's not gen 1 I'm a happy man 👌

...you can't choose tera type

@@symphonyofaria Yes. Yes you can. Rewatch the video lol

He didn't wanna farm for it. It's actually a pretty tedious amount of grinding to get 50 of one terra shard type.

Game freak must have played Crystal Clear and thought "hey this is a good idea!".

@@Xpwnxage That would imply Crystal Clear was a good idea.

Yeah, they seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the genre they are making if basics like that aren't there. Unfortunately.

@@Xpwnxage ... What? No, they must've played Crystal Clear and thought it was NOT a good idea, because they DIDN'T scale things properly in this "open world" game.
