Except, if you notice the guide *_doesn't_* actually _call_ them that but instead instructs the player of the _concept_ of "trumping" other Pokémon Typings. Even later you'll see it says how you _can_ trump a certain option with another, but _never_ directly names the concept itself.

Hate to be a buzzkill but it comes from the word Nary which was respelled ne'er in the 1700's Just so happens to look like never. And just so happens to mean similar to never. However it does not have anything to do with the word never.

[@bowlerdude041]

​@@gregheffly Well... if we're wanting to dive into it this much... it is 100% a contraction of never, and it goes back way further than the 1700s. Never comes from old English "nǽ fre," a combination of "ne" ("not" or "no") and "ǽfre" ("ever") and the contraction ne'er was used as far back as the 13th century. Nowadays, it's obviously not used that way in normal speech so just a poetic contraction. Nary is indeed related and goes back to the 1700s, in fact in the other direction though; it was derived from the phrase "ne'er a"

I think it's funnier that all the team has mythical names... except Dialga, named for a big clock.

This is my first video from this channel, and I'm already loving the concepts in play here. Can't wait to watch more! Your voice and the way you explain things heavily reminds me of JRose or Jonhstone's videos, which I also enjoy :D

I love hammering away, laying down the law and zigging when he zags

[@afonsopinheiro391]

Naming Son Wukong as your starter scaled to such a good degree w all the names

[@SilvaShadow1990]

OMG YOU NAMED YOUR CHIMCHAR JUST LIKE ME! I love odyssey of the west and how the original dragon ball took inspiration and reference from it.

[@pikayoshi1]

Diamond and Pearl too have so many memories. I would follow Marriland's walkthroughs and name my starter Marriland. These games cemented my love for the franchise.

Pluck is really really useful, those battles would have been a lot more bothersome if you didn't use it.

Haven't been this early since there was a potion in your pc for 3 seconds

I remember reading through this very guidebook as a kid. Good memories....

[@MightyDantheman]

My first main series Pokemon game was Pokemon Platinum. My parents got my the guide for it as well at the same time (I didn't even ask for it, but I'm glad I had it as I didn't have a computer or anything to use the internet with at the time at that age). I think I still have it. With that said, I'm beyond happy that D/P are being remade. I literally just bought a Switch entirely because of that. (My first Pokemon game was actually Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia).

[@PokeCastle]

Yay, let's hammer away

[@williamdehen1241]

Personally, I always pronounced it Can-uh-layv

[@scraftyisthebest1309]

The anime also pronounces it that way from what I remember.

[@pikachuwu5195]

YESSS! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A WHOLE DAY!!!!! :D (Due to timezones and stuff)

[@him3145]

That first achievement from the guide was funny. Great video!! I haven’t played this since it came out!!
