Jumps off a cliff to cross a river into an area he isn't supposed to visit yet, enters a space-time distortion and _immediately_ catches a Porygon-Z. Incredible.

[@SilentPsychopath]

To be fair, you actually can reach that area normally, it just involves going north, wandering around the lake, then back down. My first space-time distortion was around that area too. I didn't get the Porygon-Z though, mainly because I was too busy screaming and running around like a headless chicken.😅

i absolutely love this because when i was in the same position (like two hours ago) i opened the map and wsd like hmmmm lets see what the game wants me to do and what i can do to circimvent that.

It seems like a lot of it comes down to your character just not being afraid of them like everyone else is, which would go back to that modern training. You KNOW how catching and training is supposed to work, and what they can become with some effort. Everyone else is just out there getting beat up and are too afraid to actually take any risks to begin the process of training. I mean, there's some people in the camp afraid of the Bidoofs, and they don't do anything at all if you walk up to them.

32:28 I know he probably wont see this but I have the answer to the timelime question! Sinnoh is based of off the Hokkaido reigon of Japan, which wasn't fully settled as "Hokkaido" until mid 18th century! It's a parallel to that time, so the game's much more 'modern' and recent than we think, younger than real-life America! Of course, there were earlier settlements in Hokkaido that that the Diamond, Pearl, and Ginko clans represent, hunter gatherers, traders, fishers, and instead of being known as "Hokkaido" it was known as "Ezochi". (Hence why it's called "Hisui" and not "Sinnoh" yet, the history is super similar!) In the mid 1800's, Ezochi entered the Meiji Restoration period, where it started being known as "Hokkaido". It was done so Russia couldn't get a hold on it, and of course, because Russia got involved, so did America. William S. Clark foumded a college there (Parallel to the Galactic Foundation, notice how they don't have Japanese names and their buildings, decor, speech, and dress are different.) and made a HUGE impact of the growth of Hokkaido! The real life college even has the same outside image of the Galactic Federation building! Anyway, there's where it sits in the timelime, this also means Communism exists in the Pokemon universe.

[@AviendhaR]

this is fair but as someone also playing the game.... overleveling matters way way less in this one. like i wont say the game is Hard per say but its definitely more difficult then a standred pokemon game.

[@nullpoint3346]

Move power is _very_ low. Types and STAB matter so much more.

[@hallaloth3112]

@@nullpoint3346 I think that freshens up the challenge. The game pretty much says 'screw you' if you don't have type effectiveness, even against the wild pokemon. Especially if you stumble across an Alpha you're not prepared for. It is entirely possible to be wiped by just a basic field pokemon if you're not prepared especially if they have speed advantage.

[@Marixchatt]

I’ve noticed that basically no one uses the grit items to train their Pokémon. No wonder why their level 60s are being two shoted by weak pokemon.

[@lucasramey6427]

I like how everyone went in with the expectation of playing as someone from this time period then seconds later find out it's actually one of the protagonists from diamond and pearl 5 years older now sent back in time (Also at least for the female trainer they've canonically been to Alola since they're wearing a shirt with palm trees with a luxury ball in the middle meaning they got it from a place of luxury and that they were either there or simply in their room relaxing when they suddenly met God)

The Diamond and Pearl protagonists weren't ten years old. In fact none of the games protagonists have that age. That's a misconception from the anime. From the look of them when they're not chibified the DP protagonists looked like they were arleady 14-15 during Diamond and Pearl.

The last few Pokemon games have had some really interesting mechanics that almost feel like they're gearing up for an official MMO. And if it's more like Legends, I may be 100% in on it. Also, Dan has sent me with this playthrough already - though I'm gonna catch up on it slowly as I play through myself. Good luck, Granddad!
