The BEST Rewards for Classes & Trainers in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

[@Syoder93]

I have mild to severe Deuteranomaly (red-green) colorblindness and there are some shinies I physically cannot see the difference of. It's hard to describe it to people especially for shinies because they go "well yeah they are super similar." To those of us that can't see it, it's not just similar they look LITERALLY the same! PLA was awesome because there were several times where I caught shinies I would have totally missed.

[@Yangeth]

At the very least, your pokemon will refuse to auto battle shinies, so you can use that as an identifier instead of initiating battle every time. This really only works if you're using auto battle (in swarms or while grinding), but unfortunately it doesn't help if a shiny spawns while you're just traveling through an area.

[@kylemills7161]

Some shinies it is hard enough to tell apart even if you can see without any handicaps. Hopefully they'll do something eventually to help spot them in the open world

[@AustinJohnPlays]

I'm actively researching some things that may make it easier for colorblind people with some colorblind people. If I come up with anything, I'll update you all here :)

[@nacitalatincirli793]

I really hate how they took out the bling bling for shiny Pokémon... I constantly stress over missing shiny Pokémon... but being a colorblind and literally not seeing a difference is 10x more terrifying... You may have passed by 10 shinies in your first playthrough and not even noticed

[@kage2701]

I have the same issue. Miss so many shinies

[@kendra4289]

I'm probably in a small group of trainers who are legally blind. So rather than having issues with specific colours I have difficulty with seeing everything. The auditory que from PLA was a godsend for an openworld game. I have found shinys in this game all from just walking around and as much fun as I'm having with the game it's very stressful for me passing pokemon trying to look at them really close hoping I don't miss a shiny. Why are so many of the pokemon so small? I wish the noise was at least in the options. It would really help us visually impaired folk.

[@Moby313]

My aunt that lives with me is legally blind and she loves to do word search puzzles and read. Most people think it is odd that her hobbies include things like that but she can see them well enough to enjoy them and they make her happy. Just wanted to comment on this because it's not that frequent you come across someone that knows someone who is or is legally blind themselves.

I was actually kind of surprised at how not useless the classes were. Most of it was things I knew, but a few things specific to these games (like finding eggs in your picnic basket) I was totally unaware of before. The game even tells players the exact critical hit rate down to the decimal. It's about time the games have started making this information available to players; more serious players already know, but casual players definitely don't.

[@Mldy96]

It's also a very organic way to introduce these elements in the game and it connects well with the narrative too.

One guide that I think would be useful is a pokedex completion guide where it goes over the missing pokemon that people might not find to complete their dex, like even if they are going out of their way to explore the map and even grind but still can't find them. Examples - rare pokemon, such as Dolliv, Mismagius, etc. - Pokemon in trees people could miss: Steenee, Flapple, Pineco - pokemon that require an evolution, such as level-up or something else to get the dex entry for (i.e. they are not naturally found somewhere) - Pokemon that might be worth evolving or breeding manually to save time (Dolliv, as a good example) Basically a video that goes over all the Pokemon people might be interested in finding to complete their dex that are tougher to track down. There are hundreds of Pokemon that don't need to be in this video - they are way too common that everyone will find them given they explored even 70% of the map.

[@knight4041]

Why is Dolliv rare? Just catch a Smolliv and evolve it into Dolliv it only needs to be lvl 25? Mismagius also evolves from Misdreavus but Misdreavus is Violet exclusive so you need to trade for it. All Pokemon that can be in trees also walk around, I see them far less often in trees actually. And he made a video about all the special evolutions already going over every single one and how to do it.

[@amazinglyshook]

A lot of mons are also available in raids. Because there are so many of them, it's a pretty good chance you will get a rare mon. I got Applin and Charcadet really easily this way

[@DiosChotil]

8:25 it depends on the type of colour-blindness, since the cause for it is that the cells in ur retina that perceive colour are atrophied, and theres 3 different ones. Extremely rarely some people do see in black and white, but mostly how we see is with some colours being undistinguishable or just very difficult to tell apart from others (for example i struggle with purple violet indigo, they all look deep blue) its easier with very saturated colours that are next to each other, a gradient of unsaturated colours is a mess to distinguish, so then the problem with this game is the shinies that are very similar to the normal colour + if the pokemon is in shadow or sunlight or during the night, i gotta stare at them intently and its a bit of a pain in the arse to do

[@harrisonwilliams924]

Hi Austin! I am actually color blind and missing a shiny is my biggest fear in the game right now. I see color still, but I see different shades that are similar and my brain and cones and rods and all that blend them together.

It does seem that GF has streamlined the capture process to get you through it faster if you're farming a ton of the same species. The full animation really only plays if it's either never been caught in your dex, or if it was already calculated to be a failure-to-catch throw. The shortened one-shake animation is just the game saying "I've already calculated this to be a capture of a species you already registered, so let's just speed up this process." It's a minor, but welcomed change to make the game feel like less of a slog.

For the shiny issue: I think it'd be best to either have a visual cue (like they're subtly sparkling/glowing if you're close) Or Keep the soundeffect but make the range much smaller. Or maybe both. I'm not colourblind, but I almost missed my first subtle shiny yesterday-Corviknight. Glad I decided to check it out, but it also stresses me the hell out to now look super closely at everything.

[@johnl9763]

I've been playing since Red/Blue (the originals) and I'm colorblind. I've never had trouble with shinnies before, but I've never seen a shiny in the wild myself until Pokemon Go. They were so rare back in the day that most people never saw them. When people did, it was almost never the Pokemon they wanted. I got my first shiny that I captured myself in Pokemon Go. I'm very happy at how obtainable they are now. I have mixed feelings about the current system. I was able to spot a Sableye because that shiny was obvious. I picnicked for a shiny Azumaril but that's another easy one to spot. But when I was out in a mass outbreak of Magneton it took me three tries to figure out why Haxxorus wouldn't kill that one. it just looked like it was in the shade or something.

Note that completing the math and art classes, as with every other class, only give you a small amount of candies. Maxing out your relationships with their respective teachers (which only requires you to have taken a single session of each class) is what rewards you with the Tera shards. The same is true for each of the other classes. The classes give candies, and the relationships give the other rewards.

And I had to use let’s go to beat ones I had to test. It’s a debilitating feature, but it is what it is. I got a shiny riolu and hatched a shiny Sprigatito in 4 eggs.

Keeping with the issues you've mentioned right at the end of the video, I had some issues with random crashes and, as a shiny hunter, I turned auto save off. The problem is, I don't save that often. One really useful tip that I think you could add to one of your videos (I don't know if you did this already) is the fact that the Scarlet/Violet keeps a "secret backup" that is almost like you've never turned auto safe off. Basically, you just have to press B+X+D-pad UP to access the backup while on the title screen. That saved me about 3 hours of playtime the last time the game crashed.

I love the fact that the story doesn't push you into completing the gyms in a specific order. Yes, the level cap for controlling Pokemon limits how easily you will be able to do that, but mixing in all the other things with the Titans and the team star tasks makes it very much a matter of choosing where you want to go as you progress. There's multiple prior pokémon games that I bought but never finished because they were far too linear, and the older battles never felt very fun. The battles taking place on the open field and seeing the Pokemon really helps too.

[@nickolaswilcox425]

there are a total of two(maybe three) tm's that are only obtainable from gym reps, the rest are found out on the map or unlocked for manufacture by game completion edit: im aware of this because i never touched the trainers out in the fields so no rep rewards and when i went to look for the remaining tms i was missing two were marked this way but the rest were all available by other ways, i only had something like six total i still needed to find just from exploration and making missing tms when i could

Well color blindness comes in a lot of different forms. Some color blindness does erase all color, but most only exempt some color, filling in with the wavelengths that the person IS able to see. My uncle is red-green colorblind so those appear in shades of brown to him.

[@Tim3.14]

Yes, I think complete color blindness is relatively rare, but it can happen. Not being able to tell red from green is the most common - and more common in men because of the XY chromosomes. (The relevant gene is on the X and color blindness is recessive, so women with XX have two chances to get a functional gene and men only have one.) I'm pretty sure dogs are also red-green colorblind, even though they're often inaccurately portrayed as totally color blind.

Colorblindness is not being unable to see colors. It is a CVD, color vision deficiency, and there are some different types of them, for example: we have the red-green deficiency where the individual sees more green and less red in every color; Imagine the RGB codes, add a bit of green and get rid of some red in every color, that's who we see things.

There is a secret backup save data screen in the start up menu for the game: If you put the Left stick up and click X and B at the same time it will appear

[@thethunderousstar-knight8010]

Forgot to mention that it bypass the auto save function so even if it is off it will be as recent as possible to your save as it secretly auto saves the data

Colour blindness doesn't work like that. It is more that you think something is a certain colour, but it isn't. Imagine a paint colour strip in a store, showing you the varying shades of pinks and reds, from almost white, to almost wine-red. To me, that would be mostly the same colour, and identical to the orange one.

[@RokkTheRock]

there are many different types of color blindness that affect many different colors in different ways. the most common is the red green colorblindness where reds and greens are brown. colorblindness also effects males more often

[@michaelleddick7349]

In a nutshell, the eye has photo-sensitive chemicals (the "Cones" most of us learned about in elementary school) which respond to specific wavelengths of color. We have 3 kinds, typically quantified as Blue, Red, and Green. For people that have the different types of colorblindness, there are deficiencies to the amounts of one or more of those 3 types of cones in our eyes, and it makes us less sensitive (or completely insensitive when it's really severe) to certain wavelengths of light, which the brain interprets as color. So our experience is when we look at something, we perceive it based on the wavelength of light our eyes respond to. So colors can become distorted if our eyes can't properly perceive them.

[@michaelleddick7349]

It occurs to me that you could simulate the experience artificially by going into any game or program with the RBG sliders and messing around with them a bit, which can give a rough approximation of how different sensitivities distort colors.

6:20 - 6:55 in a nutshell " *That you can buy in a store* " I don't why I found that just so funny, also an informative video thank you!

[@MidoChan808]

Yesterday I went to knock out some crogunks to make a drain punch and there was just a random shiny psyduck just sitting there lmao. Love the random encounter method 😂

[@caffeiinated]

same bruh my luck in shiny are so bad i have used sparkling power lvl 3 but still found nothing. but when i was just there , looking for tm materials or raids and walla found shiny.

[@techboy95]

What you mentioned where people don’t see any color at all is extremely rare. The more common versions of being colorblind more so can’t tell the difference of certain specific colors.

[@DeszaStar]

I really appreciate the rando research mid video (my brain works like that, too). Always love your vids and now I have another reason to love your vids! Thanks, man! 👌🏽

[@IcarusHollow]

yeah you can buy most of the League Rep rewards but you fail to mention that you need a significant amount of Gym Badges to purchase most of them.

[@jacobgriffin8794]

This was the video I needed you to make that I didn't realize I needed you to make. Thank you!

[@BloodyStarcraft]

so the subtitles at 7:52 - 7:53 reads "I'm nowhere near that number I for one think that Chinese in the Overworld but without a sound is a healthy balance"

"... it's called being a completionist." Oh no, Jirard's thing is spreading. Like I said in the poll, I mostly wanted to stress-test the "open world" aspect of this game with my friend once we figured it out. It's much more fun than previous games to just wander around and see what you can find. (Though it took us a day of playing before we went "wait, has the day-night and weather cycle been locked this whole time?!"... yes. Yes it was.) I appreciate all data you want to share, Austin, because you actually try things out and let us know what you find. So your being a completionist is a good thing for these guides, as you also have been trying different things at different spots to see what happens. It gives your advice a 'feel' of being pretty much a final word on things. (And still have a lot of your PLA stuff bookmarked for when I go back to complete that 'Dex and quest list.)

[@12devilstriker12]

I’m severely red green color blind in addition to some other variations of color blindness and to explain it as simply as possible, if you threw a bright red frisbee in a field of green grass, it would kind of blend in with the grass but when I did find it, I can obviously tell that the frisbee is red and the grass is green. In other words, the colors when not focused on seem to blend and not pop outlI 100% think it affects my ability to shiny hunt in this game. Especially with the heavy and sometimes random shadowing of overworked pokemon. I have over 100 hours on the game and have not done any sandwich shiny hunting and have not completed the dex yet and I have 7 shinys, all of them are shiny with radical color differences from the originals.

[@LyricAndCompany]

This is so funny to watch later. I intentional turn off alerts for your videos right after a new game drops to avoid spoilers *because* I know how fast you go through these games and release videos about them, compared to how slow I play. But I love that! Because any time I've ever been stuck or confused, I've always had your videos already waiting to help! And now that I'm done my first playthrough, I get to binge through everything to make sure I didn't miss anything lol

[@marcy1232]

I really like it when you leave the random tangents in the final video, they're fun

[@cottwhimzy]

11:13 I gave Stomping Tantrum to my Donphan, because if Rollout happens to miss then I can just use Stomping Tantrum. LOL

[@cicisstormshelter1076]

It makes sense. The Amulet Coin was always given as a gift or found on the ground in Pokemon games and there was always only one because its ability to double your cash input from trainers is VERY broken. Everything else is a competitive item so it makes little sense to get it as a gift if you just buy it.

[@mysliceoflife5420]

Enjoyed the random talking about stuff. Don't mind it at all. I came to this channel to hear Austin's opinions, so I think it's great

[@ulisesalexis1176]

Love the interest you show in colorblindness, I hope they add a way to help us with that in a further update

[@jordanmeyers1259]

wow thanks for the warning Austin i will definitely remember to save when i get the game on christmas because i’ll probably be playing a lot of hours as i get my pokemon team

[@christianoldham9899]

Hey AJP. Colorblind response: only color deficient but I can tell you shiny with huge contrasts are easy. But the subtle ones can be easily missed and mistaken for “the sunlight” made that Pokémon look pretty

[@emmaward174]

Personally I think shinies should have had a setting that could be toggled on or off, re: the overworld sound and animation. Also, Nokimon did a video 2 months ago where they put PLA in black and white and tried to shiny hunt in mass outbreaks. They weren't always successful! It can be tricky
