I've been saying that for ages. That Ghost typing was a massive weakness in a region riddled with Dark types. But it honestly became my favourite starter. I've used it on S&S since & it kicks ass.

Hahaha was thinking the same. It wasnt even mentioned in its region 😂

Infernape is pretty much the same, being really good in quite a few regions but falling to hisuian decidueye in Sinnoh, both Decidueye and Infernape are even the best in three regions

imma have to heavily disagree with you there. all starters are nuetral to the first trial , but then the first grand trial with hala , rowlet is strong against with its flying type , it then goes on to be strong against the water trial , weak to the fire trial , but then strong against the grass trial again due to its flying type , then have a small chance to evolve but most likley not , but its a glass cannon against olivia , then I know for a fact that it evolves right before the electric trial losing its weakness to it. its also a glass cannon to the ghost trial and has a weakness to nanu, decidueye can handle a bit of pokemon on lusamines team , and of course its nuetral to dragon , and fairy trials , and is super effective towards hapu's team. it has coverage for the fighting type elite four (if your playing sun and moon) weak to the steel guy, strong against the rock but more so without its flying type , glass cannons the ghost one, and weak to flying. it beats haus starter in the ultra games. and then you've won yourself the alola region

@@handy_jack118 they're talking about the results in the video since decidueye wasn't chosen as the best in Alola

"Over-Leveling" as a phrase was created by Wh!ny B@bies who don't appreciate the effort of battling countless wild Pokemon (which can also help with EVs/IVs). For example: Everytime I replay the Kanto games I always choose Charmander and get it evolved to Charmeleon by the time I battle Brock. By the time I get to Misty it is at least lvl 25 and does excellent against her. As for Yellow Version it's more complicated but, by the end of the Game Pikachu & Charmander-Charizard are the only ones that stayed on my team the entire game.

@@morrigankasa570 Or it's in reference to game design, and fits all RPGs not just Pokemon. Anybody can take the time and effort to grind experience to overcome an obstacle in a RPG, but there is typically a level the designers expect you to be at any given time, which in Pokemon is indicated by the level of the pokemon your opponents tend to be using. Also, grinding EVs/IVs is clearly not the way the designers meant for you to play the game, since at least in the early generations those stats were hidden. And to be clear I am no stranger to Charmander solo runs, although I have never needed to evolve mine to beat Brock.

@@barethor5869I have defeated Brock with just a Charmander in original Red Version but was too touch & go for my tastes. I like evolving it and sweeping the entire Gym with little-no damage rather then defeating the Gym but taking a moderate amount of damage.

@@morrigankasa570 I'm glad you enjoy the game the way you want to, but it doesn't change the fact that you over leveled in order to remove the challenge. You should not insult others for enjoying a game the way they want, just as they should not insult you for enjoying it the way you want. My point was that over leveling is an observation of game design, which is readily visible in Pokemon by a comparison to the opponent. If you are a significantly higher level than your opponent then you are over leveled, if you are a significantly lower level than your opponent than you are under leveled, and prefering to play the game in either state is perfectly fine.

@@morrigankasa570 You can play however you want, but the video was comparing how all the starters do - and quite frankly if overlevelling was considered in the video, literally every starter could sweep just by being overlevelled and the question would be irrelevant. So the video seemed to be going by level-cap rules of levelling your pokemon up to a strong battle's highest level.

All charizard/blaziken/incineroar we all know how nintendo love their fire types

But it also kinda sucks because Hoenn has an abundance of water types and is lacking in good fire types, so it’s really hard to not go with Torchic.

@@Slender_Man_186at the same time you only need fire if you want its super effective types. I played S&M, X&Y and ORAS without fire type moves and won easily cause there are other types who share the same points fire can cover as well. Flying and fighting covers all the important hits fire does while flying types are good due to good neutral hits and access to him fly

@@victory8928 yeah, but it just feels weird not having a good fire type until like Mt. Pyre where you can get Vulpix. If you start with Torchic, you can quickly get a shroomish for a grass type, and you more or less have your pick when it comes to water types but I usually go with Wingull for the early water and flying typing. You get all three of the starter types, two of which have fighting as a sub type when evolved, and the other has flying as a sub type early on. I also usually like to grab a Ralts because who tf decided to give players a psychic type on route 102?

What kind of psychopath drinks warm water

Especially in the night around 12-2 Am

Cold water is the best drink there is. Warm water is the devil.

It’s to do with our tastebuds. You are aware everyone’s tastebuds are different right, and there are some out there that can taste stuff that most people are unable to detect that’s including water. As someone that doesn’t like plain water all that much (which I should mention most people that are adults that don’t like plain water are more tolerant of it than actually hating it) the taste I detect is more metallic and that flavour happens no matter of where the water actually comes from, even a water coming from straight from a clean clear stream still tastes metallic. Which I know some people are going to ask “how does it taste metallic when it doesn’t have any metal inside water?” Well that’s the issue we unfortunately do not know why ourselves (at least I don’t) which is why water is designated as something that has no flavour (which I should clarify for people, no flavour is still technically classified as a flavour) as no flavour isn’t just for stuff that literally has no flavour but more like for flavours that for our human tongue (both physical tongue & our languages) have no actual true way of describing or exactly detect on what is actually going on with it. Anyway because of our tastebuds a lot of us “don’t like plain water to drink” people it’s like we are drinking metal flavour drink which at the very least as a human yourself you can at least sympathise why it’s quite obvious why we more than likely don’t like it at that point, at the very least if we are going to taste something metallic at least put another flavour that pleasurable for our tongues in there for us. Anyway that’s more than likely the reason for why we don’t like plain water. At the very least I hope you can at least understand the concept of it, actually physically understanding it however is practically impossible because if someone doesn’t have something then it’s obvious why they cannot understand why.

@@ConnerTravis1998 Metal tastes good

All three of the starters have a broken move,plus the game is pretty easy without them anyway

It was the only way to get a Mega Blaziken prior to ORAS

A reason why X and Y sucked.

​@@DonoZeek, or you could just NOT USE IT? The games never force you to use broken Pokémon like Mega Blaziken, Aegislash, Mega Mawile (in ORAS), Lati twins, or the Primals. They only force you to keep Rayquaza in your party in ORAS, which you don't even have to use in battle. That is such a petty reason to spread hate.

@samuelgarza2466 dude, another reason why I hate the game is that it's underusage of its theme. This region brought mega evolution yet it barely has any trainers that uses it. The Gym leaders are weak. Diatha has one of the worst team for a champion. She's supposed to be a superstar yet we barely see her. Delphox should have been a fairy type. The last gym leader should have been a Fairy type. This game overrated Charizard. Etc.

@@DonoZeek and also they should have given major trainers more competitive Pokemon teams because competitive play is getting more popular over time Competitive means giving movesets with more coverage, abilities, useful held items, fixed natures, and max EVs/IVs ILCA was able to make perfectly competitive bosses in BDSP, but why Game Freak couldn't do this in their Pokemon games

I think them cutting out mons to make others have better animations is a fine thing, annoying cause they expect us to pay for 20 dollar subscription to transfer are pokemon to home, and then only 25% of hem appear in the games, but I think they should ALWAYS bring back starters cause there the most special to people

Incineroar,Feraligatr, and torterra could all fit in unova. Empoleon and serperior have French designs, decidueye and primarina still fit in alola. Same with the galar starters and the paldean starters. Meganium and swampert would fit in a South American region. Charizard would make sense in galar as well. Sceptile and typlosion could be in a Africa/Madagascar region.

didn't he admit to only being able to see the pokémon and not anything about it's movepool and stuff like that? it was right around the release day, I remember that much

Due to how early that video was (The video was posted on November 26, 2022, just one week after the games' launch), I assume this was before the stats, movepools and others were known.

Well, it's mostly based only by their type and appearance, so it's fair I must say

I used to not care for Meowscarada at all when I first saw it and for most of the time before release but it grew on me more and more until release where I chose Sprigatito immediately without hesitation. Scarada is now my third favorite starter (behind Serpieror and Blaziken). Sprigatito was my immediate favorite first form, though.

i see what you mean but let's not forget mono types usually are better defensive because in most cases, having two types gives you more weaknesses.

@@natiprot69 Thing is, it also gives you more resistances and immunities, which tends to balance that out (if not be BETTER).

Infernape has been a popular one thanks to the anime and also the gen 4 games

with Infernape being my favorite pokemon of all time, I am glad to know how well he doees overall in most of the generations

The issue is the ghost type in Alola was not useful as there were A LOT of dark and/or ghost types running around to punish you. I'm more surprised the Alolans were able to "keep up" in general since the Alolan speed nerf (gamefreak decided to make like every pokemon in that region slow for no reason) is far more exploited when fighting pokemon outside the region.

That's part of the reason it's also one of the most disliked typings. They kept getting steamrolled out and they kept being universally good. Imagine a fire chicken being good in a region with a water or fire/ground villain team and water champion. Not to mention the regular gyms which included Rock, Fire with Ground, a Normal type with the same BST as the box art legends, rock/psychic, and potentially water. It was just too much, and Infernape proves it still is.

@@LilyMaeBlossom Tbh... Blaziken is only good with Speed Boost. Not with Blaze. With their normal ability Infernape and Emboar are way better than Blaziken. With Hidden it's the other way around. Then Emboar is the worst and Blaziken the best.

What

None of the Kanto games allow you to get Umbreon naturally. RBY? Doesn't exist yet. FRLG? They don't have a day-night cycle, you have to trade for both Espeon and Umbreon. LGPE? The games literally only feature to original 151, Alolan forms and Meltan/Melmetal.

Is fairy that strong in Johto? Also, Johto just has an abysmal level curve and you have the fairy type Primarina at like, Clair. And water alone (which Primarina mostly will be) is just normal in Johto. Not to mention team rocket being chock full of poison types and the rival using a steel type and two poison types. It is brilliant against the E4/Champ since it blasts through Bruno, Karen and Lance and is just brutalized by Koga, but that is so late in the game that imo the other starters' strengths are way more prominent and earlier.

@@youtube-kit9450 I mean it being late in the game doesn't mean there is much more substitute that can be used, Most of Fairy type that can be found in Johto isn't that good offensively, Even something like Togetic couldn't evolved into Togekiss yet in Johto

No way you forgot about Granbul and Azumarill

@@shiruotakuno28 Azumarill even becomes a fairy much sooner (as soon as you catch Marill at level 15 as opposed to evolving at 34) and gets two powerful STAB moves (Aqua Tail and Play Rough) by level 25.

Prinarina can easily sweep Lance's team besides that one Dragonite with Thunder

blaziken is litteraly better, what this youtuber doesnt consider is the pokemon used around the starter, theres way more than enough pokemon which can use substitute and setup a swords dance speed boost blaziken which at that point solos any team while although infernape is faster in most cases, there are pokemon who can outspeed him, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR UNDERLEVELED swords dance + speed boost should get blaziken upto a pokemon which outmatches it in level while infernape has no way to counter this

@@sheenakr7616 I agree it is better in those circumstances But for talking normal play through, it will not have speed boost which is the only reason it outclassed infernape since generation 4 Plus all the points you basically made. But if you can get speed boost, then by all means.

@@sheenakr7616 whats the point of the extra hustle of speed boost when with infernape you can setup sword dance get to 1/3 hp activate blaze 1.5x attack boost +2 attack. your already faster than most pokemons. just spam swords dance, by chance if something else is faster use mach punch.

rowlet is after the first gym

Agreed. Maybe the regular Micheal should invite them all to a dinner party. Seeing them all interact could be very funny.

I’m hoping to see the return of Bug Catcher Mikey, particularly in Alola, where you get more absurdly powerful Bugs. Plus, he’d have serious respect for Guzma. US/UM is the better choice in this case, for two reasons. First, you can gets Bugs that provide defensive coverage against all their weaknesses (they’re still vulnerable to Rock in regular S/M). Second, he can use the Ultra Wormhole to catch a Buzzwole or Pheromosa before the postgame.

Grookey would like to have a word

Meowscarda won me my draft league championship. So I completely agree

Hoenn it can take of Roxanne, Brawly with its flying coverage, Norman, Sydney, Pheobe, and even Drake and Steven. Sinnoh it takes care of Roark, Maylene with flying moves, Byron, Candace, Bertha, Flint, Cynthia's Lucario and Garchomp. Unova it can help with Lenora, most of Burgh with Flying coverage, Clay, Brycen, Drayden/Iris, Marhsal, Grimsley.

​@lillipup_tamer1148 Tbf, Incineroar also beats Colress; Marshtomp would also only resists Roxie since Koffing has Levitate and Whirlipede is bug type, while being near useless against Burgh thanks to Swadloon and Leavanny.

Totally expected it to be the best starter for Kanto.

​@@microwavedpepsiKanto is basically the perfect home for Grass-Types. Every Type Grass beats is a required Gym, as are both its resistances. Swampert really only gets to dominate when Grass isn't mandatory, which is really only true in Hoenn as of now.

CHARIZARD OR BLAZIKEN ARE THE BEST FINAL FORM STARTERS FOR HOENN!!!!!! IN EVERY EMERALD PLAYTHROUGH I'VE DONE TORCHIC-BLAZIKEN HAS BEEN THE EASIEST!!!!!!! Sure Mudkip-Swampert are 2nd best, the only gym Swampert is better then Blaziken is Mossdeep Gym specifically since it's a Double Battle. If was Single Battle then Blaziken still would dominate. Of course, I always get my starter to lvl 20 minimum before the 1st gym. By the Elite Four they are a minimum of lvl 60.

Also, you could cheese almost anything with gen 6 Protean Greninja

Probably the only reason he mentioned torchics hidden ability so often is because he's directly comparing its speed to chimchar, and didnt want comment saying "but torchic gets speed boost". I doubt he was actually considering hidden abilities.

@@vivil2533 Except he literally says "Assuming you don't get a hidden ability torchic. You get a torchic, and thus a Blaziken with Speed boost, then that just wins". That's a quote. So, if it is worth mentioning, even if it is for the reason you gave (so people won't complain)... why not offer the same courtesy to the three starters that can BREAK any game, because they can be almost any type at any given moment? I'd be happy with just a small disclaimer like "By the way, if you get Protean or Libero, the starters that get it break the game, so we'll ignore that ability for the sake of having an actual argument the times Blaziken with Speed boost doesn't break it even harder"

@@lenlimbo you ignored the part where I mentioned directly comparing speed. Saying that chimchar is faster then torchic is a sentence that will put the thought into people's heads, so he clarifies, that yes speed boost is true but it doesn't count. The point is that he is talking about something very closely related, and reminding the audience that no it doesn't count. Imagine every time he says Chimchar is faster, somebody in the audince goes "erm actually speed boost makes Torchic faster" cause that's probably exactly what's going through his mind. He clearly said multiple times that you don't get your hidden ability, so you shouldn't be considering it, he's just reminding the audience when relevant.

@@vivil2533 And you are ignoring the part that he actually says "if you get it, this, if not, that". Sure, it is because of the speed... and because with its "speed issue" solved, Blaziken is the better mon most of the time. Specially because there is ONE game where it wasn't true thanks to the other characteristics Infernape actually brings to the table (evolving 2 levels sooner) So, answer me. What stops me from saying "Actually, Meowscarada, with the right attacks, is super effective against EVERY battle because it has access to protean, so you don't need to juggle not evolving Dartrix too soon to have the right type", to make an example? Because it is exactly the same circunstance you are saying with people complaining about Speed Boost. And I, in fact, kinda did, so not so much an example but something ALREADY happened. So yeah, if he is going to consider Speed Boost, if only to silence complains, he should have done the same with Protean, because that ability is just that broken.

It's always been very good. People are just sleeping on it and I know the reason why lol 😂

@@lostsilver9215W

Surprise?

It was overlooked because you basically never get hidden ability starters as your first pokemon in mainline games, taking that into consideration would be really disingenuous; that's why Infernape always had the edge over Blaziken despite Speed Boost existing.

Yeah, i thought the same, multiple hisuian forms talk about adapting to the cold and harsh seas and winds of hisui and well...sinnoh is not Siberia of Japan anymore so decidueye(that specifically mentioned adapting to the cold) wouldnt be hisuian anymore but alolan
