Nexomon Extinction Types Explained!

[@christopherxgordon]

I think plant being strong to psychic makes sense based off the idea that physic types are coming known for mind manipulation. Since plants are living creatures, but don't have possess a brain like other living creatures, they are less prone to psychic abilities. Idk just a thought though.

[@madthrasher88]

I think that was the logic used for why bugs are strong agaisnt psychic in pokemon

[@terrencelee9366]

@@madthrasher88 if you are referring to Pokémon the reason psychic types are weak to bugs is because being afraid of bugs is a common fear just like a fear of the dark and fear of ghost.

[@callumarcher8111]

The Fire and Water-type being good against Ghost was always about purification of the dead to me, since both fire and water are considered purifying elements.

[@Leondragon06]

[@teifan6674]

About the ghost type: so my first thought about the fire/water interactions was, too, that fire and water are both associated with purification and cleansing of evil, but then I also remembered that a lot of religions with an afterlife for punishment have fire and water (drowning, boiling water ecc) as the most common torments, and it is also common to have a "cold" and a "hot" part of hell - and we already know water in nexomon also represents ice - so if you consider ghosts as in "souls" this makes a lot more sense.

[@nazeersadek6705]

Not gonna lie it will take me a while to get used to some of these match ups 😅😅😂

[@TheRealWhiskeryfrog]

I think the reason why Psychic is good against electric is because a calm mind can overcome shock from electricity, but then again too much electricity can also fry the brain.

[@blackraptor008]

The type matchups are very confusing. I'm an avid player of Pokemon for years. I still get some of the new types of Pokemon confused a bit, but all in all it makes sense. Some of these matchups really threw me for a loop lol. This video was very helpful, thank you

[@tcgjanitor9111]

A good chunk of the normal nexomon or attacks seems to be martial arts themed in a way. Its like a psuedo fighting type. Which is why they are weak to psychic.

[@isaacboyes9290]

Just a thought, maybe the plant type is advantageous against psychic because of things such as hallucinogenic plants or marijuana, and how that plant effects the human mind or thinking abilities.

[@Kali_Krause]

Ah yes, who here remembers how OP Psychic types were in gen 1 of Pokemon? lol

[@yourmomgagsmenut]

Kali Krause this is exactly why I chose Masquite, (or however it’s spelled) I was like what?! They letting me pick a psy type for a starter?!

[@necromancersgift3894]

Something tells me that it has more to do with balancing than lore reasons. But I may be wrong. For types, (from a dev perspective) , it makes sense that types are firstly assigned to balance the game, and then the actual type is picked to fit the story. But I'd be very impressed if it was developed in the opposite way: I'd have to play the game to make sense of it. Anyways, great video as usual!

[@justsomejojo]

It's probably balancing reasons, yeah. But I do think that there's some lore or logic reasons behind all of the matchups, simply because making a type chart somewhat accessible (logically) to your audience without outright showing it ingame is also part of (good) game design. If your audience can't make out heads or tails of the type chart, the game can become frustrating and less accessible after all, at worst generating bad feedback. I'm mostly thinking of the really strange cases like Spectrobes naming the simple Fire-Water-Grass triangle in weird less memorable ways.

[@cruelcumber5317]

I'd assume the process was something like this: 1. Figure out the types that were going to be in the game 2. Determine type matchups that have a logical basis 3. Figure out what type matchups are needed for balance

[@bahb5239]

I remember the Fire beats Ghost thing because Ghosts can be thought of as gaseous, which is often flammable

[@urkerab]

The question remains as to which types are best for your team. You could just stick with the main six elements, as that gives you two full type advantages over seven types (six elements plus Ghost). On the other hand you probably want your own Ghost and/or Psychic to deal with Normal types. Of the six elements, Wind and Electric look to be the best to replace, but what do I know? It probably depends on whether any of them get decent coverage, e.g. Electric would like Mineral coverage to take on opposing Electric while Mineral would like Electric coverage to take on opposing Psychic.

[@chickennachosupreme3195]

Fire is advantageous to Ghost maybe because a lot of the Ghost types are zombies and mummy like.

[@sirbear6197]

I thought it was because of inensce and it scaring spirits away.

[@knightarcane4920]

In the series Supernatural salt and fire are used to cleanse spirits

[@PhoenIXPhantasies]

Plant stronger than Psychic. Marijuana: Makes sense.

[@IcyWind9001]

Thanks for releasing the video Ed! I wish wind and mineral were strong against 3 types like the rest and normal was strong against at least 1 type. Might be cool if they released a new type in the future

[@scroom1202]

Water and Ghost interaction could also be referencing lore wherein some forms of undead couldn't touch running water.

[@somerandomskyrimguy]

I think psychic is Super affective against ghost because people used to have people who are supposedly psychic banish ghosts from a haunted house

[@justsomejojo]

I've been learning matchups on the fly while playing so this video is nice to fill in the gaps I've missed, like the Mineral and Psychic interactions. Fire being effective on Ghost funnily enough was the first weird one I memorized, mostly because of the light scares ghosts away argument. That said, on the same logic, I thought it was weird electric wasn't effective (since it also creates light) so I went back and eventually ended up at the same cleansing aspect you mentioned in this video. Holy Water for ghosts, Fire to burn away the remains of the undead, preventing them from reviving. Overall, there's some weird interactions, but I'm happy with this type chart. Apart from Ghost and Psychic, most of the types are actually things you can imagine interactions, try them out yourself and then memorize based on that. I think that's really important for a type chart that isn't readily available ingame to make a game accessible but still a thinking experience. Stuff like Spectrobes, where the types are named less conveniently (Aurora, Corona and Flash) or types that are completely up to imagination ("Nuclear", "Galactic", "Dark", "Crystal") always frustrates me a little because those feel less designed for memorization and more for being different.

[@OnyxeBlade]

As someone just getting into Nexomon this video was extremely helpful

[@justinsarcedo9355]

Thanks dude. I really going to buy this game soon. The typing explains so much.

[@bleedingjarl9870]

Water vs ghost also could deal with the depiction of some undead not being able to cross running water

[@bubalackgaming8892]

I know Ghost and Psychic being good against Normal makes logical sense and all, but from a purely gameplay standpoint I really want them to change that so that Normal doesn't suck in the next game.

[@alecbdavis]

[@GymLeaderEd]

[@rjlundholm89]

I got this game cause I needed to break from Animal Crossing. I know I went to a befriending animals to well befriending monsters for well combat.

[@adamholt5395]

One thing that wasn't mention about water being effective against ghosts is that in old legends it is said "that water is impassable to spirits". So this could be another reason. Also, for wind being effective against mineral, it is probably due to erosion. High winds can tear down and destroy rocks.

[@misomie]

Oooo, fun thing about trees. Some just shrug off lighting and the fire that starts cause of the trees make up. You can see red woods still full healthy after being burned by lighting. I like to think of it being a good reason plants resist electric in games. (Besides being an insulator over conductor)

[@luistoses]

Fire beats ghost because it represents purification and light, while ghost represents evilness and darkness.

[@_Pixiara_]

Mara looks more like a very cute Triceratops imo.

[@j.4.c.p76]

In lots of asian media and folclore ghost and evil spirits are considered to be weak to lightning because its like a punishement from heavens to them or something like that so I expected ghost to be weak to electricity. A shame it wasn't.

[@leonardomur]

Psychic advantage against Rock is kind of iconic. Telekinesis lifting and training with rocks, etc. Most weird thing is Psychic doing effective damage against ghost. Nexopad Guide site is wrong then including Psychic doing uneffective damage against normal, but in game ghost type suffer effective damage against psychic. I dont know if it is bugged. I tried to reach the devs about that and I have no answer. In nexomon psychic type is by far the weakest type.

[@leonardomur]

Contrary official nexopad guide site is saying, psychic is doing effective damage against ghost and electric. Do you know if is it bugged @Gym Leader Ed ?

[@infinitechibi1496]

Just wanted to note that another reason normal types are good is that, normal types are the only type to always have an elemental coverage in their moveset, so you can have a team of water types but still have a super effective move Vs near every type. Yes I know elemental types have normal moves for coverage but that's it. With the normal type, you get the benefits of the normal type, with the element coverage of other types, very nice. I'll be posting which normal types have what kind of element coverage, as each normal type have only one type of elemental coverage each, almost like a sub type or something....

[@infinitechibi1496]

All coverage by normal types: Lukuma - mineral Lioness - wind Ninstuff - electric Runk - mineral Moga - only knows screech? Monkapow - only knows 4 moves, all normal Candly - wind Brauncer - water Bullogan - plant Goatlanche - electric Mojompu - wind Skounquet - mineral Rapilux - water Bisina - electric Arispauva - fire Rapnux - wind Tarragon - electric Namansi - mineral Ledgendaries: Wyverne - fire Byeol - psychic Ziegler - ghost WARNING SPOILERS FOR ABYSSAL UPDATE AHEAD Abyssal update mons: Columbra - ? Felicient - ? Probably fire, it had fire moves before Froppe - ? Hurristag - ? Probably wind, it just fits Raamu - ? Caelesa - ? Sorry I couldn't find anywhere that has posted the new mons movesets yet.

Ghosts can't cross water is what I heard before. Any kind of evil spirit or entity can't. Common ones are ghosts, witches and vampires. The idea being that water is pure and acts as a barrier. I also heard this with salt.

This game is so frustrating. I want to spend my money on it because I haven't been loving the way Pokémon has been going lately, and there really is a lot to like in Nexomon. But the more I learn the more it seems like a game that is just interesting because I like Pokémon and less because I like this game itself. Does everyone else feel like Pokémon was too complex and needed to be made simpler?

[@GymLeaderEd]

We're honestly at a crossroads. There are so many games that are taking the pokemon formula and making it better. Coromon, Monster Crown, Nexomon, etc. I think it's time for people to stop holding hope for pokemon to do better. If it does better, than awesome! But, honestly I'm not holding my breath.

[@chadsmith6803]

Imagine a young kid who somehow has never heard of Pokemon picking this game up and playing it. Will they have fun following the story? Collecting all the new monsters and raising them to their final forms? Mastering the battle system and learning the type advantages? I think the answer to all those is pretty clearly yes. So that makes it a good game regardless of its obvious influence from Pokemon. I’m about 15 hours in and I like the story a lot. The writing is witty and it definitely differentiates itself from Pokemon in that regard. As far as the monster designs, there are a few duds here and there, but overall I think they nailed it. Lots of great monsters I can’t help but catch because I just love the aesthetic. On top of all that, you can grab this game for a third the price of any main Pokémon game. Very much worth it.

[@LhymeLife]

@@chadsmith6803 I don't think the answer to your question is a clear yes, because if this was my first creature collector I don't know if I'd like the genre. My major complaints have nothing to do with the designs of the creatures as the art is subjective. But the lower number of types that matter less due to Super Effective and Not-very effective moves being less dealing less and more damage respectively. The monsters all having only one type further limiting what they can and can't do. The lack of any sort of EV like system to customize your monster based on how you choose to train them. The lack of any IV like system meaning that you always get the most powerful version of the monster you catch. The level of the monsters in game scaling with you so that if you want to use a monster that you caught earlier you are forced to switch train. This has less to do with the depth of strategy but the rate at which monsters level up, specifically in the early game is much slower which just translates into having to spend more time playing the least interesting part of the game. The only place where there is any level of added complexity over Pokémon, which is a baby game for babies (obv one of my favorite game series even still just making the point that I don't think anyone in good faith can call Pokémon games challenging or complex), is that you have additional held item slots, but the items themselves do much less than what the items in pokemon can do. The writing is witty in that its tongue in cheek, but a lot of that wit comes from the fact that it is poking fun at the Pokémon games. If I hadn't played them I would think the writing wasn't as good, because I wouldn't have a frame of reference for the jokes. Also Pokémon Sw/Sh are 60 USD sure. That's 100% not worth it, so I didn't buy it, but the older games were 35 USD so its half the price of most games not a third. (but that's just me being pedantic)

[@Katie-hb8iq]

I find that there's no way to rationalize these type charts. For every argument you can give to be in favour of a type advantage, there is probably an equal argument to advocate for the reverse. Why? Because the size of the target vs the size of the attack matters. Take the ice type of Pokemon for example - one of the worst types in the entire game. If you lit a match in the Antarctic, I promise you the artic will win - which contradicts the fire weakness Ice has. I'd have to imagine that the Ice type pokemon are larger than the fire-based attack in the same way, so having a weakness to it makes little sense. Ironically getting rid of this weakness would probably balance Ice with the other types a lot more. The reality is that you just need to memorize them :/ Personally, I find a lot of these types to abstract away too many different things as treat them on the same level, especially in Pokemon. This is how you get a Pokemon like Gyarados or Charizard that are not actually Dragons. It's really silly - you just have to accept it and move on. I like how Monster Sanctuary does it. Each monster does have types, like Ariel, Goblin, Spirit, Warrior, etc. but they don't really influence a type chart. There are no stab bonuses, which significantly makes the number of viable combinations of monsters increase ten-fold as you only have to factor in weaknesses, but even those can be overcome with a synergistic team.
