Notes: I don't know how exactly, but this video looks letterboxed at least on mobile while images of other aspect ratios can go beyond the bounds of the game footage. It was my intent for the entire video to be 4:3. I swear I had rendered it as such but I'm not able to check the video file right now. I thought I had confirmed it looked as intended on desktop. 10:07 this would have been greatly improved with a krabby in a cowboy hat and old timey pistol, but this was cut due to time constraints

[@BogdanZelinschi]

Lmao even the tech tells you to stop doing non source games related vids. First it was the reupload guys who saw the future downfall of your channel. Stop harming your channel right now.

[@georgejpg]

@@BogdanZelinschi what is blud yapping about

[@D2Davis]

You should render your next video in 32:9 to make up for this blunder, us Ultrawide enjoyers gotta eat too.

[@Capiosus]

13:08 uh, why are you not using (max + min) / 2 ????? Assuming a uniform distribution and all levels from the max to the min to be included, this is a much better formula.

[@Hambrack]

Bad news, somebody has already done everything you just did, but they're stuck in a parallel universe in which you released this video five years earlier.

[@Pinsplash]

gottem

[@somethingtheoneandonly]

And how do **you** know this, then

[@Hambrack]

@@somethingtheoneandonly *Hambrack* used Teleport.

[@somethingtheoneandonly]

@@Hambrack dammit Ryu used PSI Teleport β!

You don't need to write a JSON parser. All you need to do - is to have a class that represents an object stored in JSON than you can easily Deserialize this JSON into this object using anything from System.Text.Json to Newtonsoft.Json (C#) or you can use something like nlohmann/json (C++)

[@ShimSham.]

I’ve been playing HeartGold recently, and I’m at this exact point in the game. You literally could not have uploaded this video at a better time for me!

[@PraecorLoth970]

If you want to spend more time in this project, you can enhance the output with more stats. For example, besides mean/average, a standard deviation, a confidence interval (calculated with bootstrap for example) and, if you want to be fancy, an experience probability distribution chart. You mentioned an area had pokemons with high exp and low exp, which created two distributions with a mean that was relatively close to what you measured, and that could be very easily shown with such a chart.

[@tobywizardb]

this is why I subscribed to this channel

[@Zylysh]

This sounds super useful! Johto's exp pacing has always tripped me up when I played through it.

[@CawsForConcern]

I share your pain in writing parsers. I wrote a .sqf parser for ARMA 3 script files (long uninteresting shorty cut short: we were using .sqf scripts to set standardized equipment and ammo loadouts for everyone) and it was a nightmare. It's still a nightmare. It'll be a nightmare *forever*.

[@GibusWearingMann]

Rule of thumb: don't ever write a parser by hand unless what you're parsing is CSV or simpler

[@r.g.thesecond]

I have seen CSV files that would make you take that back. (Non-UTF8 + non-English + comma digit separator)

[@makeshift27015]

Don't even write a csv parser by hand. The spec for csv is more complex than you'd think and has so many edge cases.

[@octakhan4673]

That's going to be so useful for challenge runs! Didn't know about that Magikarp... 0_0. Thank you, Pinsplash!

[@MenderMan]

this video is essential for playing vanilla HGSS

[@TheEdwardvansloan]

your analyses remind me of pannenkoek but for half life. questions I never asked but didn’t know I needed the answers to

[@ben_the_potato]

Nice! I just got heart gold, and i cant wait to play it!

[@splashmob]

your videos are always so fascinating, no matter what game they're about. cool stuff!

[@miku]

thanks for the documentation !!

[@SpaceWashingMachine]

I never realised how bad the level curve is before gym 8 until I watched a friend who isn't that into Pokemon play this game, they didn't have a good option to deal with the dragons so they caught a Swinub and good lord it took forever for them to grind it up to a point where it was usable. I think they ended up grinding on the route below Blackthorn but it was mindnumblingly dull with how slow the exp gain was.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

A Pinsplash Pokemon video is completely unexpected, but very much welcomed. I had to double take at the channel name to make sure I wasn't mistaken. Also, KZbin showing me this five whole days after it was uploaded is pretty annoying. You couldn't fathom the amount of times I refreshed my front page in the last five days looking for a longer video to listen to while working.

[@kiroma0]

There's me having difficulty choosing between at least 5 different json libs out there and then there's Pin not even considering one

[@explodingbearz]

It won't let me like the video :( Edit: nvm

[@LKComputes]

wow poke of mon :)

[@ventriloquistmagician4735]

thank you

[@CalavErik]

What about turning around in the same tile without making steps? Doesn't that negate the cost of repels?

[@Pinsplash]

i know i tried that at one point when writing but i don't remember what happened.

[@ventriloquistmagician4735]

19:55 you said "such" or "succinct"?

[@escape209]

"such and"

[@abandoned_green]

Pokémon content??? Sweet

[@zclone100]

Also-also, it depends on the particular backend and how it process requests but usually, it's not that bad if you send one request for a large volume of data - it's worse to send a ton of requests for the small amount of data (DDoS like). So, yeah - if you actually could send one request to get all the data - that would be probably ok

[@Sharp22CatFish]

Why is your voice so soft. I could fall sleep to your voice.

[@olly123451]

That’s what I’m about to do 💤

[@throwawaydetective9080]

In short: Most pokemon games are poorly designed Take the candy pill

[@scantyer]

This isn't bad design, it's just a different design where they want you to change your team instesd of plowing through the game with the same team but higher level

[@Magikarpador]

just play better

[@Agent_Schrader]

47 seconds and 24 views bro fell off

[@BogdanZelinschi]

Now i respect the guys who reuploaded your vida, coz right now your channel looks like a uploader ones filled with his own non hl garbage. Stop killing your channel, make a new one cmon, we dont need it

[@miku]

?

[@scantyer]

?

[@xinus2286]

stop yapping

[@escape209]

Speak for yourself, Gachimuchi and HL guy

[@terrestrialTerror]

bro can't handle interesting content
