nice work

Pokémon should make the sea urchin more durable. Its suchs a fun creature.

Unrelated but I just kicked ricardos ass sky high, bro gonna need some grass terrain after that ☠☠☠

1.what do you think of fields in Pokemon reborn? 2. The recent controversy of Palword lawsuit state patent similarities and Nintendo have a high chance of winning because Japan laws. How does this make you feel about your game especially that it shares enough similar mechanics? will Nintendo winning the lawsuit make you feel different about your game?

I like the fact that you are the ONLY reason why I like gemistry… (and little bit of physics)… and I can’t wait to finally play your game (when it EVER get released)

You could make it so that Sunny/Rainy weather affects Pyro types Attack or Sp. Attack stat instead of moves to keep the symmetry another suggestion is that if you make the weather mechanic about stats, then you can make the field mechanic about moves, example you could make so Gravitational field that allows grounded moves to hit airborne stemas, or you could make so Electromagnetic field boosts Electric and or Steel type moves (sorry forgot the names you gave them in Stema), or you could have Electric field and Magnetic field as two separate fields that boost each move types, or you could lean into this "fields don't override each other" to make some mechanic were multiple different fields can stack, or make it so only some fields can stack, but others don't, or if you could make so stacking different fields change their properties like maybe Electic and Magnetic fields give a 50% boost to Electric and Steel types respectively, but when they stack, it turns into an Electromagnetic field that boost moves of both types by 30%

6:20 Well that was fast.

I feel like the Pledge moves that were added in Gen V needed this treatment. The combination effects of the Terrain moves are legitimately game changing, however, the only Pokémon that can learn them being starters severely hampers their viability. Especially since they’re special attack only moves and a large majority of the competitively viable starters are physical attackers with the special attackers often having a signature move of the same type that is better in every way for what that pokemon wants to do. Sylvally (for some reason) is the only exception that can learn Grass Pledge, but it is once again a physical attacker. I truly believe that if they opened access to more pokemon, that these moves would see some competitive viability and even success. They did eventually buff the base power of these moves to be a decent damage option, now they just need to offer it as a move option to other mons. Imagine an opponent is able to get a taunt off on your Whimsicott attempting to stop you from getting speed priority with tailwind. However you instead went for Grass Pledge to lower the speed of Pokemon on their side of the field while at the same time providing a power boost to your Iron Bundle’s Water Pledge equal to a Helping Hand boost, effectively making it a fully accurate Hydro Pump. I have no doubt that pros would find interactions for every move combination that can save them and/or lead them to victory in a competitive match.

Misty Explosion = Explosion but pink

21:03 im pretty sure that it gets mentionedsomewhere in the gen 7's Battle Royale

I know you talk a lot about symmetry here, but hear me out: I think an important part of Pokemon is all of the asymmetry. Importantly it gives the types and effects identity. Examples: Just because you resist a type, doesn't mean you will be super effective against it. Stealth rock is based on Rock's offenses, Spikes does consistent damage but has layers. -- Other topics: In a way hazards also give certain types identity through being able to learn them, like Toxic spikes and Sticky web. Same goes for status effects ofc. and how you can be immune to them. Immunities in general like Ghost against trap effects and Dark against Prankster are cool, although often not impactful enough to be considered.

Do you like psychic terrain? Ya,its cool

I thought you were talking about terraria

not really about terrain but, my own idea of coexisting weather is *weather fusion* basically *electric current + rain = thunderstorm, windy + rain = rainstorm, sandy + windy = sandstorm, heatwave + rain = meteor shower, gas leak + windy = brainstorm*

As a casual player i straight up thought terrains were added in Sun/Moon

Theo Jansen!!!

Bit random, but during the discussion about the lack of terrain mechanics in games, I couldn’t stop thinking about divinity original sin 2 as I’m just finishing a playthrough. Not only can “weather” and “terrains” exist at the same time, but these systems are inherently interlinked, wet floors can be electrified, oily floors can be detonated. Maybe you could look into this kind of system of interactions for your game

About Misty Explosion's lower BP, note that most users of it will likely also have STAB on it. This, combined with the boost it gets from terrain (from it's own effect, not the terrain's) to 150 BP makes it a 225 BP move in total, very much in line with Explosion and Self Destruct; which most relevant users of those moves will not get STAB on (besides Galvanize Alolan Golem, I guess).

Any plans on making a third non-warring area condition for some types that have neither weather nor terrain?

hard ass thumbnail lmao

7:25 You use Firefox, heck yeah!

It's weird how we didn't get a new Misty Terrain setter in Scarlet & Violet, seeing as Wheezing wasn't in base game and there's no way to get the Galarian form outside of Pokemon HOME (I don't think Tapi Fini is available outside of HOME either)

as someone who’s dipping my toes into making my own fakemon region, this series has been SO helpful !! there were a lot of moments in this video where things started to click for me. i love megas, so i wanted to include them in my region, and i think now i can !!

Who else is bugged that Florges keeps getting grouped with the Grass-types in this vid? XD

why is the expanding force multiplying a percent of 150%? It should be x2 if its stab and the effect/psychic terrain boost the 30% it should be 208

That thumbnail goes so hard

i’m always so excited whenever you show those clips of your gameplay and something new is there. the grass is so nice! i like the way the characters are paper mario like but the setting isn’t really

13:37 And dark types became immune to prankster priority moves.

21:04 This is actually mentioned at least once in Ultra Sun/Moon (and probably in Sun/Moon, although I can’t be sure since I didn’t play those games). If you go to the battle royale stadium, one of the NPCs tells you about the normal 25% decrease and how it becomes a 50% decrease in a battle royale since you’re hitting 3 opponents.

I think your idea for emag and gravitational fields is really cool, and could maybe be extended to an entire weather system just called "Fields." Could be really fun to explore more STEM topics centered around spatial changes. This could include emag, gravitational, dark energy (opposite grav I guess), heck maybe you could even change the "coordinate system" of the field with a "Polar Field" which makes you attack any creatures radially next to you instead of in front of you. Could be fun to explore.

Off topic question but where would you recommend someone brand new to coding start?

IMO florges should get grassy terrain and musharna misty terrain Also pincurchin needs a BULK rework. Why is it mixed, slow AND they REMOVED rising voltage? Stats should look like this: 85/48/95/91/101/15

Unmentioned, and probably less important Genesis Supernova was an additional way to add Psychic Terrain, but it was a Z-move exclusive to Mew. Galarian Stunfisk got Mimicry, which basically acts like a terrain version of Castform’s Forecast ability. The DLC added two other terrain related moves, Terrain Pulse acted somewhat like a terrain version of Weather Ball. The other move, Steel Roller, was a new way to remove terrain, other than Defog, GMax Wind Rage, or Splintered Stormshards. Terrain Extender is an item that would extend the effects of terrain Psyblade, even though it’s a Psychic move, has an additional effect where it could also be powered up by 50% in Electric Terrain

psychic terrain seems very good for strats like f.e.a.r. and the heracross thingy

Never stop sucking, Misty Terrain

Like just for the thumbnail

Just for info sake..in Yu-Gi-Oh you can have a field spell, Umiiruka, which boosts water monsters and Starboy which boosts water types and debuffs fire type and the close off with Aquarium Set which tripples down on your water boost coverage and can all be played on the same turn and does not remove or interrupt eachother....😁

the heatwave and twilight in coromon were changed, now twilight reverses positive stat changes to negative (except ghost types), heatwave grants a 25% boost to every fire mon's highest stat, the stamina thing is still here but it changes stamina usage a lot less now

You know what I don't see is a weather and Terrain mix team. A stab thunder in rain with electric terrain. Solar beam in sunny day with grassy terrain.

Why does this turn from 'about pseudo-legend' to 'about 4d geometry'?

I think you could do terrain as a thing. Just don't let it be set by the creatures. Think of the pokemon anime where the fields change between battles. I always thought that was the coolest thing the games never did

Yu-Gi-Oh would still fit into you comparison. I forget when exactly, but there was a rule change long ago that made it so that each player can have their own Field Spell active instead of playing the weather wars game, so you can have 2 field effects happening simultaneously like in Pokemon. And that's before getting into Continuous Spell cards.

8:44 From what I can tell, Gen 2 as a format was slow paced enough that some pokemon could afford the turn to set the weather (I think atleast one pokemon, maybe Skarm, used Sandstorm?)

Today was when I learned that terrains were introduced in Gen 6 and not Gen 7 🤯
