I actually rather like the Legend badge and how it is a bit abstract and up for interpretation. To me I always sort of just saw it as a sort of explosion, blast, with the long spike being there to either make it fit with the rest of the vertical badges or it being like it's originating from a dragon's mouth like the move Dragon Rage, that sort of explosion/attack being the reason for the red circle. For the matter of the black and grey I always saw it as black and white but they didn't want it to clash too much and instead went for more cohesion. I found it cool that the last gym badge you got, (at least in the first black and white) had some of the theming of the game in it, contrast but in being part of the same thing together cohesively. Which also fit with the town and gym leader, with the town either seeming more in the future with an older gym leader Drayden or more in the past with a youngster gym leader Iris, with Iris being Drayden's daughter and him being her dad really showcasing the contrast and cooperation. Though I do think that the badge would look cooler if they went for a more standing out and contrasting white even if it went a little bit against the color scheme.

Trust me i tried asking friends who dont play pokemon with that pyshcic badge in Kalos and they said Ghost or Poison and had no idea it was psychic

i actually like the kalos badges

I gotta say the first badge you changed in the video was perfect the way it was; the redesign feels like a downgrade despite being a solid design The original i think despite being a little vague still elicited the vibe of a dragon; just because there isn't a consensus on exactly what doesn't mean it's not that; The other badges of the region feel like they play around in that space where they are just a bit more abstract The redesign itself isn't bad but it feels... like it lost something i can't define specifically

I love that you described the ground badge as the giavanni badge

I got all stars when I was 13, did I just blame myself for the games terrible controls or were they actually better on an N64?

When I started playing the game, I started off quite positive. However, as I continued, it just got worse and worse, and it all ended with rainbow ride. Rainbow fucking ride. I hate rainbow tide so much I genuinely think it's the worst level in gaming history. I would rather play the entirety of bubsy 3d than play Rainbow Ride ever again. But you want to know where I think the game peaked? Bowser in the fire sea is the best level in 64. Everything in the level makes sense, it doesn't have any bs stars, and it's actually interesting. Mario 64 is genuinely one of my most hated games of all time. I wanted to give up so much throughout my playthrough which is a rarity (I've 100% X7. I am very stubborn)

I've always thought that bug-type-green was more like dill-pickle-green

Dude just play the original version. The 3d All Stars one has joycon drift and it’s not the original version

Saw your channel in the Pokémon colab animation, and found this! You are a wonderful KZfaq, have a new subscriber!

I've honestly always thought that the Soul Badge was a tongue with the way that little line goes down the middle. 😅

Considering you loathe the circular badges, I expected you to also dig into the Marsh Badge... Which just looks like a standard Gold Medal. Maybe it fits for Sabrina, but imo it just looks boring.

I will say though galars and paldeas badges aren't the best, I love how they use them as gimmick sets

Did anyone notice they were playing on Hagglefish?

OK dumb idea by the way tears of the Kingdom was my first game if anyone’s gonna judge me with this I think with hotshot it would be cool if they added more shrines and make it an upgrade availability which lowers the cool downtime and increases the range and speed

I've seen a lot of mario movesets, this might be the best

The voltage badge is supposed to be assymetric and be sporadic, because that's howbelectric sparks work. And lack of identity? Are we looking at the same badge? The sparks jumping out makes it special, the only thing I can give you is the smaller shape, which yeah, is pretty bad.

Final Smash should’ve been the Death Egg or Death Egg Robot.

4:14 It’s actually olive ;( a very common shade of green.

Tox: *Praises hop’s development* Josh and Ari: *Visible confusion*

Gotta be honest I really like the gen 6 psychic badge though I will say it looks more like a different fashion accessory rather than a badge

I actually like the circular badges, because I always imagined them not as pin but as coins you flip in your hand.

13:01 i think that medal tries to resemble a crystal ball that fortune tellers uses for read the future and the smoke is a representation of how Fortune tellers tell the future in other media. The desing is bad tho but i can see what they tried to make while desing it

I have more issues with the camera in odyssey then the one in 64, the one in odyssey can start slowly slipping away (it won’t anchor) and it moves in a way that messes with my eyes and makes me feel dizzy and because of that I can never play the game for longer then half an hour

The Galar badges allude to british coins, where the backs have bits of the coat of arms that line up with each other. They’re still badly named.

Honestly I think Olympia’s badge works super well for a fortune teller; it’s a crystal ball with smoke coming out! I really appreciate Kalos’ deviation from traditional badge norms as there’s only so much you can do before it becomes samey. There’s so much more visual interest with the Kalos badges than most others. Also, Valerie’s is fairy wings and the symmetry of it adds to the idea as it’s a pair of wings rather than just one shape

I really want Rillaboom in Smash someday! It would be one of the best grass starters to complete the set in Smash with Greninja and Incineroar!

alternative title: i suck ass at mario 64 and complain for 16:41 minutes

Just found your channel, I really like how unique the animation feels

I think also letting the feather brush slow your decent when rolling would be nice Definitely not too big of a slow down but enough to justify keeping most of your speed when falling

make a splatana ruler and give it no slash but INSANE damage up close like 1-shot for a horizontal

I definitely agree, I love platformers, 2D & 3D but I tried Mario 64 multiple times and I just couldn’t play most of it, not because of difficulty, but because it got kinda boring redoing the same level a lot of times. The controls were also not great and I agree with your critiques of them. people have a really strong bias towards this game and I guess I can’t blame them, it was revolutionary for it’s time, but people need to listen to reason honestly. The game has aged, it’s been 20+ years people. You can love a game and understand that it’s not perfect.

As a jhoto fan I don't understand how you can have issues with the hive badge or mineral badge, but you don't have a problem with the plain badge, the most boring badge in all of pokemon.

me before the video: none of them need reworked theyre all fine me after: .... oh. oh yeah okay i see Edit: HIGHKEY DISAGREE WITH THE KALOS BADGES THEY'RE SO PRETTY

I don’t agree with all your opinions but the quality on this video is top notch and was entertaining all the way and your designs were great

I was watching this video late at night, as like a side thing while doodling, and 'I can't see you let me see you' caught me so off guard I may have woken up the entire house.

Kanto's badges represent the cities not the types of the gym leaders, in jp the badges are named after the colors the cities are known for. At least in gen 1, Gym leaders can be replaced, saffron city gym for example, had a fighting type Leader and was replaced by sabrina (psychic), I assume both gave the Gold badge (Marsh badge) which represents the "golden city of commerce". Viridian city gives the Green badge, "evergreen paradise" and Celadon City gives the Rainbow badge, "the city of rainbow dreams". Vermilion is known for its sunsets, and the badge is literally a sun! You could say only Brock, Misty and Blaine "follow a theme", I assume they want to represent their cities in a literal sense?) idk. I think badges representing the type of the leaders is what makes them lame in the first place, GF invented a formula and never looked back didn't they? Lumiose City badge being the tower instead of generic rays is a good example Fun fact: Blue (green in jp) became the Gym leader of the evergreen city, who would have thought? And he's not monotype? devs went a bit crazy there!

BRO DIDNT DO THE ORANGE ISLAND BADGES😢

I would main the splatana that failboat made. (The one that looks like a pen or watev)

Honestly a cool alt for eggman would have to be his classic design his sonic boom design him in polkadot Jamas with green pants something that is a call back to his original designs and for fun something that references his design in the cartoon.

Idea for the sponge roller name Picker-up chucker

Why does the entire video feel like they are trying to one up each other

The Marth comparison was the only way for me to understand, great work on the new weapons, this was awesome to watch

Nintendo? Please take note.

I liked Galar’s diversion from eight separate badges into “eight badges to make a whole”. I do agree the designs could’ve been way cooler, but just that step was awesome for me when I earned my first badge and realized what they were doing

Great video, I 100% agree, this game does suck, glad i could find someone who agrees.

The fairy looks fine as is it could be better but like the fairy wings it as

Pretty sure the fairy badge was supposed to be fairy wings. They should have just made it more of a butterfly shape so it could be more square and narrow. I do have an issue with your mineral badge since the original was supposed to be a steel plate. The crystal doesn't give off the impression of steel. It would work better to have it be something that reflects the properties of steel like a cog for its use in industry, helmet for it's durability, or even a magnet just because it is a magnetic material.

wow! way to over explain
