"i prefer random encounters a lot more than overworld encounters" Based take. Instant sub

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

I’ll die on that hill

[@iocamillia6936]

“Emotional support Pokémon” describes my Pokémon very well, I almost never evolve my starters in normal playthroughs and just get bad encounters while nuzlockeing

[@luckychlorine5848]

Yo I clicked on this video completely unaware it was such a small one. Really good content dude, subbed.

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Thank you

[@tenshi7784]

Never expected KZbin to recommend me someone's first ever video. This was really cool.

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

I’m also shocked my first video is getting pushed at all!

[@Alleyway14]

This was your first video? You seem like a seasoned pro. Can’t wait for more vids! Great job!

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

My first ever video! Thank you for the compliment I really appreciate it

[@garchompelago]

I like overwold encounters. The world feels much more real and alive. You can see the pokemon move around in the wild rather than imagining that they exist when all you see is just grass.

[@Ymnar]

Good video, didn't realize how small the channel was till the end. Hope you can make a series of this, best of luck with growth

[@anthonyhernandez7486]

SAME!! Great content.

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Already working on the next one thank you

[@Spirit_of_Love_]

KZbin recommended this video and i gotta say, did not miss. Real good video excited to see more. Oh and yeah gen 1 kinda expected you to bash your head against the wall with the elite 4.

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

I’m so glad you liked it thank you

[@the7569]

I can't believe that this is your first like full KZbin video lol. This is so well made, keep it up brother Definitely earned a subscriber

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Thank you I appreciate it

[@_rim]

I'm always surprised to see videos with such care put into them from little channels. I hope your channel thrives my friend

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

I’ve wanting to start a yt channel for a while and I figured it would be better to do quality over quantity so I spent many months researching and working on this one vid! So lots of care thank you!

[@Txgood2]

I have mixed feelings on the encounter thing. I absolutely agree that it can be a lot more fun to see the Pokémon pop up and the shiny reveal is so much more amazing. But I also like overworld spawns. It's also nice to feel like I have a bit more control over when I have to go into battle. There were some routes where walking through them is pain, caves in particular. I don't imagine this can help you now, but you can hunt in the safari zone by turning your character. If I recall, this doesn't use up your steps but you can encounter Pokémon this way.

[@stevenschmidt4441]

this is actually a pretty good video man. i was suprised to see you only have 135 subs. you gotta do a little bit more to earn my sub personally but your off to a great start!!!

[@vincentnorris3598]

in the safari zone you can stand in the grass and change the direction you face, you don't move you just change orientation by tapping the different direction buttons, it allows for encounters and doesn't count towards your steps taken

[@Testostyronne]

Great first video! The hot take at the start is actually something I made an entire video on and got A LOT of hate for it, so I was worried for you lol 😅 You got my sub, looking forward to seeing more from you!

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Yo bro I love ur content I was working on this vid and finished the intro and then came across your channel on my other account ihoppea and I commented agreed 100% cuz I will die on this hill and I didn’t anyone shared my view but thank you for the sub I appreciate it so much

[@Testostyronne]

@@poke_trainer_chris_YT That's insane, what are the odds! Well I'm super happy you enjoyed and your first video was awesome too, I'm really looking forward to seeing more!

[@notmireelnam4863]

[@radiocloud9366]

Great content!

[@pixart_king]

Nice

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Thank you

[@LAJS1996]

Won’t lie found this randomly in my recommended don’t regret it consider me a new sub

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Thank you

[@adooalmost]

quality vid, clearly lots of effort and well done!

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Yes! Took me about a month and a half of time to throw this all together thank you

[@grimtwin5581]

Yes you can. That said. As a horribly colorblind person, I need the damn sparkles to see Shiny pokemon OTL. I'm sure you've missed dozens by now because I can't tell the difference in the overworld

[@jukenryu8127]

Nice concept, but my heart broke when all the awesome safari zone Pokémon was crammed in the box in the favour of raticate and fearow…

[@franciscovaladez6811]

This was great

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Thank you

[@dixel2047]

Good video

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Thank you

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Thank you

[@midwest8bit]

Big things coming for this channel!

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Yes! Definitely more of this series and many other ideas thank you

[@sackhkc]

Dude the sprites for Yellow are S Tier. From a dirty Gen Wunner 😂

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

oh yea 100%

[@itsmematua5805]

I'm Morks biggest fan

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

I’ll let him know!

[@TheBulbasaurKid]

You ran away from a tangela while looking for Chansey lmao

[@RobVerKa]

Each area of the safari zone has its own 1% encounter, Tangela is a 4% encounter rate in the area where Chansey is a 1% so it wouldn't count

[@TheBulbasaurKid]

@robliw ah okay, I didn't even realize Tangela was in the safari zone in yellow lol. I played that game a lot as a kid, but the safari zone was always a drag so I never really did much other than the story requirements 😅

[@LetsPlayJ7]

Damn thats hard 😂

[@petercarioscia9189]

You do know you can just spin on a single tile and not use steps in the safari zone and still get encounters, right? ...right?

[@poke_trainer_chris_YT]

Oh really that would of been helpful, oh whale challenge was fun

[@BBones541]

Bruh... How do you NOT name her Mindy instead??

[@TheBulbasaurKid]

Is dragonair not 1% in yellow?

[@Ash113Lynx]

nope, bulbapedia says area 1, super rod, 10% rate

[@aidinexmachina4232]

Overworld Encounters are genuinely the worst thing Gamefreak ever did to the series. It literally takes away the challenge & mystery of what you're about to battle when you can just walk up to it. Even aside from all the gimmicks they've been shoving in since Gen 6 (which were all completely unnecessary) it's just another example of them wanting to make the games even easier than they technically already are. I'm convinced Gamefreak think children are getting stupider. Ngl, they probably are, but they shouldn't be encouraging it with these literal baby-games.

[@Tacolul]

Cool video but it woulda been cooler if you did a one life nuzlocke and all the one percent pokemon were shiny.

[@darlhiatt8136]

Gen 1 doesn't have shinies

[@Tacolul]

@@darlhiatt8136 I meant to specify by saying fire red or leaf green

[@darlhiatt8136]

@Tacolul oh, that makes sense. My guess is he'll do each gen in order so we'll see if he shiny hunts in GSC.
