Sometimes it really does feel like the gen 5 ai reads your inputs when you switch though. Often choosing a move that isn't good against your current mon but hits the one you swapped into harder. Although one time when I was in the white 2 drayden fight, i decided to do something stupid and use foul play when I was in range of a one shot, and he went for dragon dance, ensuring I k.o. so I think the ai just has some way of seeing when you should probably switch and choosing moves based on the assumption that you will switch (a free dragon dance from the switch would have helped him had I actually switched). Which is kinda clever actually.

So no two people can agree on what constitutes “the modern era of Pokémon”, huh? Personally, I’d say Gen 4 was the start of the modern era, with the physical/special split and Pokémon having multiple forms for the first time and the LCD and touchscreen display of the DS. Gen 1 = beta. Gen 2 = early era. Gen 3 = middle era. Gens 4 and 5 = early modern era. Gens 6 and 7 = peak modern era. Gens 8 and 9 = post modern era. Or something like that. Lol.

6:33 that is by far my biggest complaint about gen 5 (besides the blatantly TERRIBLE pokemon designs due the generally piss poor design philosophy they chose) even in the post game, trying to ev train special attackers is a NIGHTMARE. The best place to get spA evs is route 9 as basically youre only truly good option, almost at the end of the main game, and only a 30% chance of finding the pokemon you need which is much lower than youd like if you wanna finish in under an hour of grinding. And then maractus having an only 10% encounter rate for the earliest option for black, it feels like a slap in the face!

Just a question since B2W2 introduce the ability to get Hidden Ability pokemon in game through Grotto's will you playthrough utilize those pokemon or do you plan to skip them altogether? I don't know about you but Skill Link Mincino is pretty busted when give King's Rock from the BP store

[@Akita23]

Do BW2 nuzlockes normally bother with grottos? I haven't seen any runs yet that use them, and I wonder if that's cause technically the hidden grotto is a "different map" you could classify it as a different encounter. and therefore have far too many encounters per route, unless you chose to do something weird and either: make grottos an option in replacement of the regular route encounter, or, do a run with only grotto encounters. If I had to guess, based off the anecdotal evidence/data of others I've watched, the likely guess is he'll ignore em, but who knows.

[@mariogorgees3489]

@@Akita23 the most common interpretation that I've seen for nuzlockes in BW2 is that you can get either a route encounter OR the Grotto encounter if it spawns a pokemon so you'd still have to encounter a pokemon grotto rather than an item grotto

IIRC there are a few weird interactions with weather / items, so don't bank a run on a youtube comment haha.

[@dvillines26]

Excadrill is one of the most low-key busted Pokemon they ever made. sure, it dies to a lot, but it's so fast and strong that it can kill the majority of the things that would kill it if they ever got the chance. Fascinating how you kind of had to use suboptimal teams just because of the nature of this challenge. Carrying the monkeys all the way through is pretty funny, I never, NEVER had one on my team by the end. They're too frail and weak for my tastes. Also very interesting not to use a single Chargestone Cave Pokemon, but I guess that gives you a lot of options for B2/W2. Really hoping to see Ferroseed/Ferrothorn get play, it's actually kind of busted in game as a tank/physical sweeper. The trick is to use its low speed as a weapon, lowering it even further with Curse if you want to, then use Gyro Ball. The other two moves are Power Whip and Payback. It's an extremely nasty, unusual type of sweeper, because usually you want to be faster, but Ferrothorn is Ferrothorn. They had to leave it out of Scarlet/Violet because it was too powerful, clearly. would also like to see Joltik/Galvantula as they're personal favorites, but you might not want to have two bug types, as I noticed you avoided both Sewaddle and Venipede. God, Scolipede is awesome. Also worth noting, in B2/W2 you may be able to get a Minccino with Skill Link. Even a Technician one is kind of busted though, highly recommend, they're better than you'd expect. A Cinccino is actually the Pokemon I got to the highest level of any Pokemon through natural leveling up outside of a few Pokemon I grinded up in Colosseum once. Ah, my beloved Paraguay.
