[@acaugusto07]

I subscribed because your pokemon is nicknamed subscribers haahahaha

[@Electrosa]

The funny thing about the guide describing HP as a measure of how "tired" a Pokemon is - is that's it's correct! Canonically, a fainted Pokemon isn't actually knocked out, they're declared too exhausted to battle and are taken out of the fight to prevent permanent damage. This is why fainted Pokemon can still use field HMs - they're not unconscious.

[@RedJuiceFishBowlMan]

I like this a lot, because I've actually never seen or heard anyone talk about the fainting mechanic in pokemon games. I am grateful for someone taking a chance at broaching the subject.

[@slugcat6226]

That’s probably also why we never see Pokémon die, they’re taken out of battle or another dangerous situation after fainting to prevent it. We’ve seen Pokémon graveyards though, so that probably confirms the fact that Pokémon CAN die.

[@zepuppet._.master]

It also shows in the newer games with how their idle animation slows down if their hp goes in the red (or if they get a status condition)

[@zepuppet._.master]

@@slugcat6226 I mean, in the sun and moon anime, we see (or can accurately guess) that Litten’s Stoutland friend dies

[@SchrollShepard]

That makes a lot of sense. Except if you "faint" (A.K.A. too fatigued to fight) a pokemon in the wild you can't catch it, so that whole thing makes zero sense when you start thinking about it for more than 5 seconds.

Funnily enough, X & Y were the last games I bought the guide for. That wasn’t a conscious decision or anything, I just didn’t end up buying the next ones. One detail I remember from the guide is that page about the Fairy Type that Sea mentioned. It said you could think of Fairy as the “light” or “magic” type. And it pointed out the logic of its type matchups - Steel type trumps Fairy because in some folk tales, fairies can be harmed by certain metals.

[@JubioHDX]

Yea thats something i figured out after a few generations passed 6, Fairy is more fairytale and less just the bright pink pixies that x/y made it kind of initially seem like. And in alot of old fairytales theres alot more gross creatures and the steel thing like you said

Another interpretation is that fairy is more of a "nature" type, hence the poison and steel (pollution and machines) weaknesses.

The wrong moveset for Gardevoir comes from them making the assumption it would have a moveset like most trainers on routes instead of like a gym leader, Elite 4 member, champion, or other important story characters.

[@Hyrulistic]

"Go upstairs to get dressed, since this is the first game you can do that." It's been rough the past 10 years catching Pokemon in my underwear! 😄

I love this series, it's the catchphrases for me. You laid down the law against Diantha.

[@zenxara9914]

I wonder if they kept the image blank for “new” Pokémon to make the player have a surprise when they see them for the first time

[@14akamaru]

At 39:26, if you read it, it says that a Gardevoir at the level that Diantha had hers would have those moves, since those are the most recent moves, not the moves that her Gardevoir specifically has

[@ryanfoss3894]

I love that you incorporate the odd phrases from other guides into your script such as hammer away, etc

I hope this comment goes unnoticed since I don’t really like to talk about myself. Around 2 years ago I got very ill. It was to the point that drinking water was the only thing I could do without pain. This lasted around 7-9 months. I remember being so hungry one day that I said if I eat small amounts over a long time then I won’t be in pain. I needed a long video to make sure I ate slowly and that video was one of your “playing a Pokémon game how Nintendo wanted”. I just remember the calming effect that your videos had on me. I remember seeing your video on the last few weeks that I was severely ill. By then I already had hope and was happy just to be able to eat small bits a day. Your videos will always remind me of the hope that still exists in even the most mundane of things. I still try to watch your newer videos but as I’m no longer sick I can actually spend time outside in the world. Some days like today I come back to listen to you as I fall asleep. Feeling that warmth of hope and familiarity still inside. Here’s to many more years of hope

[@tjakord]

Also somehow got unsubscribed from your channel which I just noticed :( that makes me sad

[@GaffsNotLaffs]

When I played Pokemon X and Y randomized clicking on the Wii U gave me dialogue about fossils, and I've truly never laughed harder at a video game.

[@lock8030]

Man I actually love these games compared to most people. The region and game were so beautiful and I have so many memories just having fun. Definitely one of the easiest Pokemon game but at the same time, these games are just pure fun.

Oh my god… I have this guide still on my bookshelf, the nostalgia is real. Pokémon Y was my first personal game back in 2nd/3rd grade, and I remember looking through this guide in all of my playthroughs.

Once again, it is time to "hammer away"(TM)

Thank you FatherSea, these are some of my favorite long form video essays on KZbin. I love your candid writing style and how it translates into a narrative tone that would be almost awkward but ends up being entirely endearing. Keep up the good work!

[@a_friendly_cup_of_coffee7003]

Love this, especially the Persona 5 music playing in the background at the beginning for some reason?

[@Ironcydeus]

X & Y were awesome. It was the generation that really got me back into the series and I actually cared to complete the National Dex. Not to mention they simplified EV training which was a huge bonus imo

[@jetstreamjackie3437]

I agree with the conclusion in this one, XY are hella good :) When I learned I was trans, one of the first games I went back to was Y, so I could play through as a girl and try on all the cute outfits. I hold XY in much higher regard now, they're such cozy games!

Brought back some memories of playing these games. May have to give them another go

[@dpower6402]

I really enjoy how different things from the previous Nintended videos have influenced your scripting such as "hammer away" and "type trumping". Also Romulus the Lucario has made a showing in every Nintended video since the first time you used him.

[@josephmoore286]

If I recall correctly, the guide came out 1 to 4 weeks after the game was released.

[@arnold20139]

What I adore about Gen 6, is that it brought me back into Pokémon. And it’s the main reason I give Gen 6 so much love.

[@sunflow57]

I freaking LOVE Mega Evolution. A badass looking Pokémon that's also super overpowered? Yeah. I'm all for that. It's very satisfying for me alongside Z Moves.

Gen 6 improved my life it was the only Pokémon game that made actually wanna interact with people both online and irl I managed to talk to someone that was willing to give me the version exclusive Pokémon and together we completed the pokedex that person eventually became my boyfriend thank you game freak for such a life changing game

[@ilikepizxa701]

I got a your video on "What happened to Pokemon Z version?" in my recommended at 3 am 2 times in a row and then I watched this video a few hours later and then Hoopa started appearing in Pokemon go (or it's rings I guess). Coincidence? I think not! If this does not make XY remakes happen then idk what will tbh if XY remakes did happen that would be insane. but that prob won't happen till something like 2028 sadly because new generations and BW remakes and DP remakes. Fat speculation over here though. And I am just getting desperate xD

[@merrysleeps]

I think the reason behind not showing the pictures of some pokemon was that they wanted you to be surprised by the gym leader's ace. (It's the highest level pokemon that gets hidden)

[@PaPaSea]

I think they just didnt have the asset to show the pokemon otherwise they would have mentioned why they were missing

Jesus that strategy guide footage is a shock to the system it’s just weird but cool seeing the guide again. I had that strategy guide when I Got Pokémon X back In 2014. I unfortunately got rid of it, my oras, and black and white 2 guides years ago. I haven’t gotten a Pokémon strategy since base sun and moon. So getting to see these strategy guides through videos is pretty cool. Anyways have a nice day.

[@hyphenetic]

Ah, Yes. Gen 6. I remember it fondly... I haven't even seen 3 seconds and I know it'll be a good one!

[@vocalvortexstudios2058]

the reason the guide says Laverre Town isnt a good vacation spot is actually pretty interesting: its supposedly locked in one season all year round, and the clock face has thirteen hours on it, without any npcs seeming to realize that such a clock would be one hour later every twelve immediately. this suggests that theres something supernatural about the town, fitting of the alien-lookin fairy-tale gym leader i think the implication is that whatever is causing the supernatural events is not ENTIRELY safe, so for normal people who arent immediately at home there, it could be potentially hazardous to remain there for an extended period unless you intend to move there

[@Firstfall_Trading]

Finally you do my favourite gen! Can't wait to watch this one.

[@RedDragonForce2]

@19:35 While not “Nintended”, you can use Bone Rush, and if you get 3 hits, Korrina doesn’t get to take a turn. It’s RNG, but after a few tries on various playthroughs, I finally managed that on my recent playthrough because I though it’d be an interesting challenge to attempt a no damage battle for the fight. Love the video, PaPaSea!

[@ileee1]

2013 holy crap time flies...

[@mariowalker9048]

Tell me about it. I met a kid who was born that year.

[@SilverAlex92]

honestly after I started playing nuzlocke and turning off the exp share in the latter generations, I've never been more satisfied with pokemon games before. Replaying emerald in nuzlocke, y and moon in nuzlocke too made those games waaay too more emotional, intense and personal than the proper version. Emerald in particular started way too hard after the second gym killed almost my entire team, starter included and only left a zigzagoon, and ended in a particularly brutal pokemon league. After I passed the elite four with minimun casualties, (a linoone at the top end of the lv 60s, now my signature pokemon, packing ice beam casually one shoting dragon after dragon), came wallace, and ohh boy, this battle was on a whole different level. In the end, in a moment reminiscent of how the game started, linoone managed to pull through and get me the win after the rest of my team had died. Kinda wish they included something like the difficulties of black and white (or bw2) but unlocked right off the bat. I know that something like outright nuzlocke is way too intense for a children's game, but a way of increasing the challenge for the older players would be nice. It feels each gem the games get easier and easier, with features like the exp share, and the general difficulty of the npcs lowered. Even in pokemon moon nuzlocke, with the exp share off, there were only two times I felt like I could actually loose (and actually did loose one of those, had to go back to the previous save point cuz I wasn't starting a new run that far into the game). And one of those was the league champion, which is supposed to be a hard fight.
