That’s really opinion based, I still love Splatoon 1 but Splatoon 3 has so many more things to offer in terms of story and side modes, 1 definitely has the better maps and specials but 3’s movement and weapon balance is so much cleaner, also my tone and the way I act in videos doesn’t determine my IQ lmao 💀

@@RyanRhino Just because they have more content doesn't mean they're better, the story of the first one was more than enough good, and the multiplayer was goofy and fun just like a good old Halo CE. If they didn't let S1 rot behind, it would have been way better in everyway. Look at Splatoon 1 like Overwatch 1, the 2 has more "content" but trust me, not a single soul prefer it over the first game. It's just a question on how they play their cards, and everytime, they play them wrongly. For your voice, it's because there's like 1300 other youtubers who have the exact same voice, in the sale tone, having the same mindset.

Yeah I’m hoping they play their cards right with 4 because after Past winning the grand splatfest for Splatoon 3, that sets Nintendo up perfectly for making the 4th game a mix of everything good from 1, 2, and 3 Also I get what you mean about the similarity in tone thing but in my defense I’m a pretty small content creator who is limited on budget and timing so I’m often forced to work with casual videos like this, I’ve made more unique videos recently that bring out my style and tone a lot better but for videos like this it mostly came down to bringing up a unique topic that is still fairly original, like at the time of this video being uploaded most people didn’t care a lot about Splatoon 1 until a couple months later when they announced the servers shutting down so it was a unique opportunity to post about the game

@@RyanRhino Well, look like I may have judged you too harshly, sorry. I personally really enjoyed Splatoon 1, and when they dropped it, I just felt so betrayed. I know not everybody will feel the same, but when I play the 2 or the 3, I don't get the same feelings and emotions as I did when I was playing Splatoon 1. This is why Pretendo and CEMU are emulating Splatoon 1 with so many players, it's because I'm not the only one who felt like the game was special.

I respect that, Splatoon 1 was the first shooter game I’ve ever owned so I’m somewhat nostalgic for it but I’ve always been more into ranked matches so when I was constantly faced against really unbalanced weapons and specials it always led to me hopping off and playing something else, I skipped over Splatoon 2 but 3 feels a lot more balanced in ranked while having the trade-off of being repetitive in turf which is something I don’t mind, like I said before Past winning the grand fest could open so many opportunities for Splatoon 4 as long as Nintendo listens to the community and gives us the best of both worlds 🙏

Pause

@@RyanRhino resume 😾

😈

We're making it out of Area Zero with this one 🔥

Thanks for coming back man, videos have been pretty hard to upload but for the most part I’ve been keeping them more casual, for two of my recent videos though (the Foamstars retrospective and Pokemon SV shiny hunting vid) I completely switched up my editing style and a lot of people loved those videos so I recommend if you wanted to catch up on anything new to check those out, all the other recent videos are still solid though

ok but that Daniel_potts account was me and i lost that account so i made this one

Oh yeah wait I remember that name 😂

yeah with the ghost neighbor on it lol

Tbh I think the trial condition is a pretty unique idea, but it was like midnight for me and I just wanted to record a quick video so I was so out of it by the end of the test because of all the preparation, also all the trial Pokémon are over level 60 so you’re expected to have some game plan instead of throwing random pokemon into the battle 😂

That’s literally the purpose of shiny hunting though, it’s an additional feature to the main game which requires time and patience to encounter rare pokemon, not even just that but it encouraged players to finish the dex and get the shiny charm since the charm made shiny hunting easier to an extent with it being less time consuming, but it also wasn’t as stupid easy as it is now in SV

I respect that, but yeah the shiny cues from LA definitely have to come back

I agree on the fact that the shiny odds way back in the OG games were unbearable, but for the games that had base odds of a 1/4096 chance without the open world aspect it was still definitely do-able to find a shiny in the span of a day or two, especially if you had a shiny charm. The thing about shinies in previous games is no matter which one you found you’d still feel rewarded for finding it even if you weren’t searching for that specific one due to the odds of running into it, in SV half of the shinies I’ve collected feel like throwaways because I can easily walk around for a couple minutes in-game to find yet another one, and when I’m actually searching for a specific shiny all it takes is an encounter rate sandwich and 30 minutes of my time to run into the shiny of my choice. I get that some people don’t have the time to shiny hunt in the previous games, but Pokemon games as a whole are meant to be time consuming with the main game, catching the entire pokedex, etc., and don’t forget how it’s targeted towards a younger audience which usually has more time to spare than adults, so the argument that shiny hunting used to be “too time consuming” kinda contradicts how Pokemon games as a whole are meant to be. I still get what you mean though, I guess it just comes down to why each player chooses to shiny hunt and what outcome they expect out of it

I disagree on that last part to an extent because the shinies aren’t meant to be the main focus of the game, the way I see it is most casual players will play the main game and then wait for the next title, but the shinies are like an add-on portion to each game incase the player wanted some extra things to do before they moved on, they aren’t really intrusive enough to stop a player from moving onto future titles but they do keep players occupied enough on that current game if they wanted to get more out of it, like with my shiny blacephalon example it never held me back from playing the future titles, it was really just something I tried hunting for in my free time since it gave me more to do in Ultra Sun

@@RyanRhino I could see that as possible. But I posit that the accessibility has been increased to encourage non shiny hunters to become one. Because while I have well over 2,000 shinies, only Arceus was I willing to hunt in the old method of resetting over and over. Not too sure but definitely an interesting topic.

Scarlet and Violet is a pretty solid game when it wants to be, I think most of its complaints came from at launch when it had a lot of glitches but I thought the plot and gym/gang progression were a step up from the previous games

I respect that, OG shiny hunting was kinda tedious if you didn’t have any free time, I didn’t really notice back then because I was a kid but after hopping on my old save files for this video yeah I can totally see it now 😂

I personally disagree sv as it lacks variety in the way u can hunt and the shiny feels guaranteed so gets dull quickly I actually love ss u have a variety of methods curry being the hardest and breeding the easiest then battling in between u can sr hunt as well then with dlc max Lairs u can get a shiny easily but still feels earned so u can casual hunt and then go for harder hunts

Lmao thanks, I never thought I’d heard that since he’s just a normal cartoon rhino but tbh there’s like no one else who uses a rhino OC so I appreciate it 😂

I totally agree with that sandwich reset thing because one time I was like 20 min into a herba mystica sandwich and all I found by the end of it was a shiny pawmi so I just straight up killed him and restarted my last save so I could get more shinies out of the sandwich 💀

Yep I feel it’s also that it’s the only method I don’t enjoy running around waiting for my guaranteed shiny I like working for it as I shiny hunt for the adrenaline and breeding would be fun if it wasn’t done how it was u could find a shiny in the wild while hatching

@@RyanRhino My best haul was like 6 shinies in one sandwich, but I cannot justify using Herba Mystica for only one or two shinies when they take forever to grind for. Also think SV did kind of a dumb thing in locking off the Treasures of Ruin to be shiny, because like they are the ONLY static legendaries to not be visible in the overworld before battling, just have the shiny check happen upon opening the seal. I do think in the original 1.0.0 they weren't shiny, but I don't have enough evidence to prove that since it seems nobody hunted for them back then.

@@strawberryjess Breeding is someho0w worse than random encounters which is why I will almost never breed for shinies unless I absolutely need to. And in my Clover living dex there are so many mons who either have a low catch rate, low encounter rate, or both to where I need to breed for them. There is a chaining method in that rom hack where you need to catch 200 Pokemon to get 1/256 odds on that Pokemon specifically. However, if you're going after a Pokemon with lower than 6.25% encounter rate, it makes the shiny rarer to get than a full odds shiny because of the encounter rate. At that point it is better to breed for the shiny and guarantee it vs phasing. But breeding is so monotonous unlike random encounters and idk why
