I Played Through Pokemon Sword as Melony

It's time for the final Gym Leader in the Can X Become Champion series for Pokemon Sword and Shield! Melony is the ice type gym leader in Circhester, but you'll only find her in Pokemon Shield. Now then... I seem to be forgetting someone, but I'm not quite sure who?

“I’m an ice type I can’t use such moves” as a comeback to being accused of gaslighting was so good and funny

[@samueltitone5683]

I know people gave the graphics of Sword and Shield a lot of shit when it released, but it’s honestly kind of crazy how much nicer it looks than Scarlet and Violet.

[@VaskoGames]

This! As someone who's actively playing both games, the graphics downgrade in SV hits so hard every single time

[@glitchking2801]

Both games look “ugly” compared to new Pokémon snap

[@quazinawaf9689]

​@@glitchking2801 EVERY game looks ugly compared to new snap

[@glitchking2801]

@@quazinawaf9689 which is why every game after snap should have had those graphics and modes

[@Gdsryrox]

It's mainly since Sword and shield quite accurately translate the Pokemon art styles that have been the mainstay since Ruby and Saphire, the sort of more oval eyes and longer faces. As opposed to Sclaret and Violet that use the more basic anime moe look, more round faces and eyes.

[@HylianGamr1]

VASKO. You've done Nemona, Arvin and Clive and Geeta. Can you use everyone's favorite average man Larry or maybe Penny to finish the rival trio?

[@juliedillion3942]

I support this idea.

[@ijustwantedtocomment8319]

I wouold personally prefer Penny to finish off the trio before starting the gym leaders, but I wouldn't mind seeing a larry video.

[@perilouspancakes]

i don't know if i've actually heard it before, but i think someone (maybe vasko in a livestream) said that they weren't gonna do penny since it'd just be a team of eeveelutions. who knows?

[@andytaker3073]

Larry is not everyone's favorite average man

[@xeldalachyrule]

I hate Larry with a passion.

“if i’m sounding like Gordie then i’m probably trying things that haven’t worked in the past” - this is such genuinely valuable insight about approaching conflict that i wasn’t expecting

[@Subjecttochannel]

I can't imagine an ice type trainer doing well against leon's first edition holo charizard with a bazooka, but who knows

[@deltarunecharacter]

Klaras growth was more fleshed but melonys was more realistic.

[@sabarathore5174]

I love the whole personality of Melony where she doesn't know boundaries but later understands she should be less pushy.

[@EmeraldWolf522]

I miss the customization from this game. Scarlet and Violet get really old very fast since your locked to just the 4 school outfits for shirts/jackets.

[@chdest4550]

YES! Finally someone gets it! As someone who is addicted to character customization, and having my player character look good, I feel like I was disappointed by the clothing options in SV. If only we had a game that combined the clothing options of SWSH with the face and hair customization from SV. Let's just hope for gen 10 IG.

[@WarmLillie]

Melony is hot as she is cold as ice. Like Galarian darmanitan, don’t make her mad. There’s a reason why Lapras is her ace. It’s one strong Pokémon you shouldn’t overlook twice. Sing like a mother lullaby, setting up a playdate, and dishing it out supper-effectively. I remember her gym had her get a free set up, now out of her element what would she do? Since the Raihan and her use the weather and she has experienced maybe that why he loses? You prove that slightly true and off with rain. Ice types may seem fragile but more powerful. If one built like a thicc tank or fast like a blizzard… Hell gonna freeze over. Especially if Eiscue taking physical moves. -------------------- *Lillie drink an ice coffee as she bath in the hero bath* Train with her is making me loss my cool… The warm water what I need. Raging tide need calm after a hail storm. Poor Snowy is overworked. Many gym leader do carry weaker pokemon, Even I do to hold back to be fair and have fun. It better to be a Gordie than being this guy I heard called *ink is splashed*. He likes his normal type but when Geeta make the call, he forces to use flying types. Well am I right? Great she’s rubbing off me but nice. It the motherly instincts.

[@martinhernandez222]

Another good options is using the same amount of pokemon of the leader. If Milo uses 2 pokemon, Melony uses 2 pokemon too, instead of using the 6

[@pixlepalzcrowther6694]

I was thinking that too but it would leave 2 mons reserved for post 8th gym badge

[@mrluckyluke17]

*Say hi to ICE MAMMA*

[@mrmacura3421]

Melony's gym is my absolute favorite in Galar. I'm glad it's finally time for this video.

Thank you! I really appreciate the positive feedback, as I will occasionally get a very vocal minority complaining about the storyline part. Good to know people still enjoy it :)

[@jamtone4492]

​​@VaskoGames what! Really? Your stories are really good and definitely better than gamefreak...I mean i love what you did with chairman rose, those motivations made a lot of sense, and now thats my headcannon for the main series since it made so much sense.

[@lucasmattos8664]

I love your videos VASKO! They’re incredibly funny! You said in Clive’s video that you will make videos for every Gym Leader and I hope you will make for the Elite Four too right? But I was thinking, will you make videos for Sara and Turu? It will be funny if you use the modern forms of their Pokémon

Now this was the run I was waiting for for the longest. I was worried at first about the length of this video compared to others in it's series, but you pulled through in the end with what is often considered the worst type by many. Glad to see Melony animated in some way in a major way considering the anime shafted her.

6:46 yep. If it's not 100% accurate it's 50% accurate. And if it's lower than 50% you just shouldn't use it because it's never going to hit.

Ok but that Melany part hurt me though a have been through something similar with a friend, I am sure I got this from my mother and I don't like when she does it either but just now I am noticing what I did properly. I guess we can truly learn a lot seen Pokémon hahahahah

[@badashe1364]

Vasko I’m just saying, you need to do Oleana, like her team is already good but you get to use her theme, that alone is reason to do the video, but she also could be very easy to tie into the story I feel, idk how but I just have that feeling.

[@cullenhutchison6528]

3:36 Your math is correct if you are considering the probability of the boosts and non-boosts occurring in the exact order that they did. However, to find the general probability of 3/5 boosts, you need to multiply it by the number of possibilities for 3 turns to be chosen out of the 5 for the boosts to occur on, i.e. "5 choose 3" = 5!/(3!*(5-3)!) = 10; so the probability of getting 3/5 Ancient Power boosts is 10*(0.1^3)*(0.9^2) = 0.0081 or 0.81%. 3:54 I don't know what went wrong with your algebra, but the correct probability for 0/5 boosts is 0.9^5 = 0.59049 or 59.049%.
