This was easily the hypest ending to a Pokémon game i've ever played. The whole atmosphere surrounding this fight felt entirely and truly epic. The incredibly intimidating master ball shake and subsequent dropping while they stand 20-30 feet above you. While the track slowly kicks in, I've never been more impressed by an end games writing and set up as much as i was with Violet.

[@CynthiaTestarossa]

@Salvador Nope i didn't. I love gen 5 hands down my second favorite under gen 3. But idk Violets ending hit completely different. The whole vibe and build up of the ending was something I never experienced in all my years of pokemon.

[@blakefauset4549]

Was cool thematically the writing wasn’t anything to speak of at all tho which made it a lot less epic than platinum and plasma/black and white endings for me for example even tho they weren’t as insane graphically I felt much more involved in what was going on then this slapped together last second thing out of left field. Kinda wish he/her were more involved throughout your story even if it was just more messages maybe holograms if they couldn’t meet with you for obvious reason for the story or another robot body so it would add substance to them and they had to trick you for everyone’s theirs and your own good type of thing idk.

[@fredericksaxton9782]

Quad if both of the stories are canon. You got two parents with very different career goals that either clash or contradicts the other’s and Arven is caught up in their egotistical wave.

[@Clover_2L]

To be fair to the AI it was connected to the time machine and needed to go somehow in order to stop it from releasing past/future pokemon into paldea and destroying the region. It couldn't just up and leave the lab either since its existence was connected to the tera crystals, so it did the best thing it could

[@rayhatesu]

@@Clover_2L The "fun" part is, with what little we do know of possible future additions, we might end up having said AI return, as the original exploration group documented the time displaced Pokemon before the time machine as the player knows of it was created, meaning something still living down there is why the Paradox Pokemon aren't seeming to decrease in quantity as we catch them. It could even be the canon reason for the 6 and 7 star raids: the time machine no longer siphoning energy from said creature could be strengthening the raid dens

[@Clover_2L]

@@rayhatesu That is super interesting. I love the lore in this game. I wish we could get something like Scarlet and Violet 2 lmao

[@GuessImaGuest]

Almost quadruple. Remember, Mabosstiff, Arven's ONLY friend/partner he had, almost died. The story becomes much sadder once you realize that Mabosstiff was literally all Arven had left.

[@Dragodilian]

Truly an emotional battle. The ending to Scarlet and Violet was so bittersweet. It was not a HAPPY ending. But it was an ending that signified moving forward. Moving forward from your trauma, your mistakes, your past. An unexpectedly nuanced storyline for Pokemon.

[@soradowty9187]

The real surprise about this battle was the villianous motivation. Team Rocket and half of Plasma were power-hungry criminals, sure, but Team Aqua/Magma/Galactic and Chairman Rose wanted to better the world in their own weird way. Even Lusamine was a little crazy because of her husband's disappearance. But Sara/Turo already had their dream come true. And it was hurting people and Pokemon, and they didn't care. That sheer selfishness that even took over and hurt the AI. For the first time in the franchise we weren't fighting just to stop the Big Bad. We were fighting to save someone.

[@notshockwavedemon7543]

The AI felt more human than the human That was meta

[@nestrior7733]

Well put. I think that it's here that the three paths leading to Area Zero come into play. The son that was abandoned by his parent and clung onto hope to save the one anchor he had left. The daughter left to her own devices, which ended in her leaving everyone behind. The outcast who had banded together with others to fight back against isolation, only to isolate them from others even more in the process. All three were alone. But we were a true companion to each of them. Brought them together to face the crisis head-on. When we fought the Will of the Professor, we fought for them. And we can see the fruits of it in the end, in their little epilogues. After learning more about his parent, Arven decides to forge his own path in the culinary world. Nemona has finally found someone who can not only keep up with but also overtake her. And Penny... She has gained recognition for her skills while witnessing that her friends are not as isolated as she had feared. I know it's cheesy, but I do think that the story of Scarlet and Violet is the best example of an old adage: The real Treasure was the Friends we made along the way.

Idea for a Pokemon Chartreuse DLC, you fight both professors simultaneously, as they join forces to stop you after bickering over their ideals in regards to the Past or Future, as neither of their dreams of Paradise could be possible if you destroy their time machine. Each would be using a full team of 6 in a double battle format (naturally using their Paradox Pokemon teams), meaning you'd have to face a barrage of 12 Pokemon.

[@Squarendipity]

My favorite part of this fight is the little details that go about mostly unnoticed regarding the person you are fighting. In the first phase, Sada/Turo has their trainer class changed to Professor, which appears in the textboxes seen throughout the battle (such as if you hit a super effective or critical hit) where their name is Professor _ instead of AI (unrelated but the face of pure malice they show just before the fight begins is absolutely beautiful). During the second phase after the Paradise Protection Protocol takes over, there is a split second in the frames where the textbox saying who is challenging you changes to Paradise Protection Protocol (which on its own is awesome) that says "AI _ has no intention to fight", which I would never have seen if not for pausing on a video rewatch and going frame by frame. It's such a beautifully crafted scene I loved this game so much. Ridiculously close to being my favorite

[@antoniozr9221]

The game was bomb, the gyms were meh and the champion was quite easy actually, but the area zero??? and this end???? my gosh easily my fav game since EVER and i have played every single game since emerald (except BW2 which i have pending). And imagine the DLC coming: powering up again the time machine and going to the past or the future, or even the professor coming back, using the time machine to go to the past and let arven meet their parents alive.... this can be ICONIC

This is the first pokémon game I've beaten since yellow All those years ago when it first came out. To say that I was shocked about how good the story was in this is an understatement granted I've played other pokémon games before but never beat them. I recently just last week beat Omega Ruby and you could tell that the devs made every possible intention to make sure the children were able to go where they needed to go but when I played Scarlett and Violet I was amazed at how deep the story got and how dark of turns it took especially pertaining to Arvin. That side story or in most cases considered the main story was absolutely phenomenal. I just hope that they decide to go a more mature route in the next game.

From first entering Area Zero with the "out-of-this-world" music playing, to the slow foreshadowing with each base you visit before getting to the final lab, the heartbreaking truth, the "professor" rising above you & desperately telling you to defeat them for they cannot stop themselves, the battle music, the 2nd phase with you being unable to use your own pokeballs & remembering from all the way back in the beginning that miraidon/koraidon belonged to the professor, your rivals cheering you on in a true "power of friendship" anime type battle, to the professor leaving on a sad but hopeful goodbye..... This ending is my favorite ending to a pokemon game ever. This ending made me tear up when a pokemon game has never been able to do that since Explorers of Sky.

Some players have said: "This game is less fun because you didn't save the world, only Paldea". However, in my personal opinion: When you write an ending, what is essential is the crescendo. If the build-up to that final confrontation is not good enough, it ends up feeling bland or disappointing. The battle against the Paradise Protocol is pure perfection. Reaching this point of the story means that you not only became the champion and befriended Nemona as a party member, it means you defeated the Elite 4 and all the gym leaders; it means you defeated all bosses from Team Star and discovered who was their secret Big Boss (also turning them into a party member); it means that you pacified all poke-titans and gathered the five herba-Mystica saving the life of Arven's dog (And so, he also joins). This is the pinnacle, this is the heart of all disasters, this is YOUR moment. Arven finally realized his own potential, Nemona finally found a true rival, and xxxxxx recovered her friends and the trust of the school that almost destroyed her. They finished their stories. This battle is the end of YOUR OWN story. But also, you are rewriting the sad ending for the professors, erasing their ill paradise, and bringing true happiness to everyone. And you can do all that without saving the entire world. Because, sometimes, and just sometimes, to change the world, you just need to start with the man in the mirror~.

That "Didn't save the world" argument doesn't make sense, because the paradox pokemon would have messed up the ecosystem of not only paldea, but of the other regions due to a natural chain reaction.

what's scarier is that, if you remember, the Professor of the game you play (Regardless of version) have basically mastered and all but cracked the full power of the Tera crystals. So can you just imagine if, as a mechanic, each of the Professor's Pokemon could Terastralize because of the sheer fact that they are close to the core of where the Terastralize energy comes from and the fact that they created and developed the Tera Orbs, but continued to perfect it in secret and didn't get the chance to share it so only 'they' can do that, but you as the Protag, because your tera orb is limited to a single charge, you can only risk going Terastralize on one pokemon so if you pick wrong, your at a massive disadvantage... fighting the full power of the Past or Future, with the unparalleled power of the Terastralize mechanic unleashed without restraint, only your 'friendship' with your Pokemon could match it. Honeslty that would make a really sweet ending that, unless your heavily overleveled or you spam items, the only way to match that level of power the AI professors have is if you use the bond you share with your Pokemon that you journeyed with all over Paldea...

OK but this composition is insane for a number of reasons. Maintaining the A theme structure of the backdrop 1/3 structured staccato piano throughout the piece maintains the whimsical nature that these professors started their journey into. The hard driving guitar and 1, 2, triple create a sense of tension lifting the battle, the techno variants play fantastically off of the futuristic themes and the drums create a primal take making this effective for both story lines, and of course, it can't be forgotten that by switching from a minor to a major this takes the tension and resolves it in a heroic manner befitting of your character truly saving the day.

I like the way pokemon is going. The last Games were more focused on making the new Features (Dynamax, terastal) a main thing in their storys and that there isnt a Super Evil team with thousands of henchmans which are all beaten by a 10 year old anymore but one Person where you dont instantly now that he is the "antagonist" "pulling the strings from behind" with more simpler goals but interessting ways of archiving them. I hope in the DLC we can learn more about them and what they are/were doing after they time traveled (because for some reason the Book they had is back in the school)

[@makoto8169]

I don't mean to burst your bubble but the Scarlet / Violet book owned by the Professors and the one in the school are two different books. The History classes talk about it briefly, but Raifort (the teacher for history) mentions that the Scarlet / Violet book was popular back when Heath (the original author) first published it. However, it was disregarded as fairy tales. Raifort then mentions they have a copy of the book in the school's library. The AI mentions that the copy you use for the time machine was the personal copy of the professor's.

Exactly. I wish more people understood this. S/V 's ending was immaculate and the little touches of detail here and there (like the picture of Arven taken out of the lighthouse lab and being in Area Zero) showed that there was so much intent and direction but very little time.

Once Miraidon started pulsating and vibrating in my hands as if it was trying to force its way out of the pokeball, that's what made me realize that this is more than just your average pokemon game

Not gonna lie, this is the most fun Pokémon i have ever play. Especially the Professor/AI battle. Man, that Iron Valiant wiped half my team.

I can't stop listening to this theme! It's so good!

[@MejuriPlays]

this did not need to slap this hard I legit couldn't battle cause I was groovin out to the beat. Like I can't be mad at a boss with this killer of a theme.

[@TheWtfanime]

I absolutely adore that picture, and I know it will never happen, but I'd love if it the DLC let us battle both professors at the same time. The battle against them at the end of the game was challenging, and that's something a lot of players have wanted out of Pokemon game for a long time since the gamecube games. Imagine fighting roaring moon and iron valiant at the same time.

[@YaBoyMajorGlory]

This was one of the best themes I’ve heard from the franchise in a while

[@dynaloo5607]

I loved Iron Valiant from the start but when it’s the ace Pokémon of the final boss??? Immediately shiny hunted it and put it on the team. So freaking cool. This battle challenged me (somewhat) and it made for a super cool battle. I love the dialogue from characters when you get a crit/super effective (or both!) and they mention it. The professors lines for this were golden.

[@dreamybullx1]

I liked that the final boss actually came after you beat all gyms and the pokemon league and not before

[@leafgreen20cruz]

be proud wat you like and wat you want because this is a S tier remixes

[@Iansanity1995]

After the intro sequence, this song gives me nostalgic feelings of music I've heard in games before. The music in Scar/Vi is genuinely some of the best in the series

[@Cuprite1024]

The last 5% of Scarlet is the best Pokémon has ever been, and I've played Gen 5. The rest of the game isn't super plot-heavy, but honestly, I don't mind the lower-stakes plot up 'til this point. It fits the type of game SV is. That last 5% tho... God, seeing it for the first time actually gave me chills, it was great. The end goes places you wouldn't expect a Pokémon game to go- Giving the professors a unique twist (Which is kinda foreshadowed since they're the only ones not named after a plant of some kind), the fact that they just straight up killed said professors, the whole AI thing, the entirety of the AI fight, Area Zero as a whole (Helped by Toby Fox a ton), and *this theme.* Everything about Area Zero and beyond is perfection, and while I already loved the game before it, that point easily solidified Scarlet as my favorite Pokémon game just ahead of ORAS. Also, Koraidon is adorable and I love him. Big 'ol lizard puppy. :)

[@AngelSebastianLeon]

Funny, in the very begin, even before we get the game, Pokémon Company said these two where the professors of this gen (like Oak or Birtch) but they actually... . . . . . Clavell is the real professor of this gen.

[@daeaerafgj6468]

This kinda reminds me of Kingdom Hearts for whatever reason, I like it!

[@andresmarrero8666]

Okay now you have me imagining the time machine flipping out against the seekers of darkness because they are obstructing and threatening its paradise and continued existence.

[@fightingpromiss]

Okay yes I can totally see the link between this Time Machine and some kind of experiment that Ansem The Wise would’ve run on Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion now that you mentioned it! The way that those Pokémon ran out the Time Machine and the party slowly splitting up so that you the MC can take on the boss, pretty sure we gotten something like that in Kingdom Hearts II both midgame and endgame stages, like remember that Heartless raid in 2 and around the time you take on Xemnas himself? This gave me that vibe as well but without it being a cheap ass copy

I love this theme song because it reminds me so much of a FFXIV soundtrack that would play in a raid or maybe a dungeon.

[@spacewarhouse]

[@Spiney09]

Say what you will about SV, they got me to care about the story more than any game since Gen 5. The writing was there, the game just needed more time.

[@nigtorranight233]

I want to be able to go to the past/future world or even bring back the AI professor. Like I think it would be such a cool DLC to be able to use the time machine, maybe have a similar mechanic to the Ultra Wormholes in Ultra Sun and Moon, where you have to have Koraidon/Miraidon navigate you to their respective world. It would be nice to be able to explore a future Paldea region and be able to find the AI and speak with them again. Maybe have a side story of Arven getting in touch with them and being able to have a parental figure in his life again. Another cool DLC idea would be to find Arven's other parent, since they left shortly after his birth. Perhaps finding them could cause them to continue the others research and fix the time machine to use once again?

[@argentum8417]

since it's confirmed that the other professor is the missing parent, i think it'd be hella cool to see that happen. i personally believe that the other professor left to pursue their own research with the past/future respectively

[@nigtorranight233]

@@argentum8417 I completely agree! I think the other left because of the clash between researching past and future. Perhaps the northeast corner of Paldea is where you could find them? Perhaps on a large island where they created their own time machine and continued their own research. Oh! And their time machine unfortunately synced with the main one and leads to the same past/present world as the box professor. The only difference with this other machine is perhaps it can successfully send people back and forth between the two worlds, as long as you have a Pokémon from said worlds. Sorry for the little tangent, I have a lot of ideas in how these DLC's could go and really like to share them 😅

[@desreploid3353]

I definitely like the idea of meeting a living Sada or Turo, i.e. Arven's living parent, only because both are established to be so selfish and absorbed in their ambition that they make hyper-advanced AI that has copies of their memories within question and seem more human than them. I just want to see what a character like that would feel like.

It’s crazy I didn’t get to hear this song because my game glitched and the music was drowned out… shame.

[@grenaja]

Ngl, this video, and some of the comments I've seen spoiled me on what I assume to be the biggest twist in the game. I lost interest in the Pokémon games as of recent but oh god This song, and the associated spoiler singe handedly convinced me to give this game a shot. I'll most likely pick this one up soon. GOD I LOVE THIS TRACK ALREADY IT GOES SO HARD
