The last part about choosing between the clan leaders is actually not true - or at least it is not as dramatic. It does make a difference in terms of how the story plays out, but at the end of the day, you get both, palkia and dialga, in their original form and you have to get a seperate item from the clan leaders in order to toggle between their original and their origin form (for both!)

[@jadentran9895]

The starters won't show up in distortions until post game as well. Holding on to about 10 Stardust should be enough for trying to collect shards to make into star pieces. Selling excess can help with money. The final choice only determines who's gonna be walking around and talking with you for that chapter of the game as well as whether you get Dialga or Palkia in a special ball, you will have access to both through normal play. Whoever you choose will give you access to their respective deity and you can catch them in whatever ball you have available, the other will be caught in the aforementioned special ball during a story scene. You will also be able to get both origin forms by doing the side quests.

You can get both of origin forms of Palkia and Dialga no matter what choice you make. The choice decides which one you fight for the final battle before the post game content and also which one goes into the origin ball. If you want Dialga in the origin ball pick the pearl clan and if you want Palkia in the origin ball pick the diamond clan (yes I realize that it seems weird because that is the opposite of what you would expect but there is a reason for it but I don't want to give away any spoilers for those who may not want them). You get side quests from both the clan leaders in their respective camps to battle them one more time in the post game and the reward is the item to change both Palkia and Dialga into their origin forms.

Underrated money-making method: Catching then Releasing an Alpha Pokémon gives you a Grit Rock, which can be sold for £3000. Go to Obsidian Fieldlands, and farm up the easy to catch Alphas such as Staravia, Bibarel, etc. and then release them all. I did this once and got a box of 30 Alphas, spent around £20,000 on resources, but got back £90,000 in Grit Rock alone, not counting the money you get for the catch and any dropped items.

[@L337M4573RK]

The "decision" you have to make between the Diamond/Pearl clans near the end of the main game is ACTUALLY MEANINGLESS (aside from the order you face them) because you get BOTH Legendaries in the end, and you get their respective items in the Post-game that will allow them to take on their Origin forms, respectively.

There are people that like to get certain Pokémon in particular Poké Balls so they're probably thankful for the knowledge. It bothers me that you can't veto the Origin Ball entirely but... I can let it off for a satisfying story resolution.

12:36 no, you can get both origin forms regardless of which clan you choose. The only difference is the 2nd one will be caught in the Origin Ball.

It does look like great gameplay! Quite close to what I wanted 10 years ago! I think we can hope for more in future, but I'm pleased that's it's a huge step away from the norm and towards my dreams.

[@bri1085]

The games only make a small portion of that sum and almost exist solely to promote merch

[@BioAlpha5]

@@bri1085 my point is regardless of how bad it may look in some spots, its a good game. still playing it actually lol.

[@jrhamy7559]

Love your stuff Falcon! Thanks very much for the spoiler warning too. Im like 10+ hours in already to this pretty spectacular game. Been relaxing in the first area, exploring the map, doing all the things we dreamed of doing in a Pokemon game as kids.. just unlocked the 2nd area and didn't realize there was still so much to see!

[@HollowNoFace]

Yea I'm 33 years old and having that same experience. I been waitin on this since I got my first gameboy. I remember first playing pokemon and was like "wtf is this"

[@blakeschafer211]

Also you get items postgame to make them origin. You have to beat the leader in battle again to get each one

[@smartgoku9048]

you are also required to go catch a shiny ponyta for a side mission. so you can see and catch a shiny that way.

[@justasciencelover8175]

Never change the intro. Brings out some nostalgic feelings.

[@shishsquared]

I've been out on Pokemon for a while, mostly because of the hand holding. Picked this game up today because it looked awesome. Haven't gotten through the tutorial yet. Really hoping they tone back the hand holding lol

[@tamert2423]

Naa bro if you aren't really paying attention you will be jumped by some speedsters and an alpha and they will wreck your life 😂😂😂

[@jtwatts7990]

Had this game for almost a year and just have had a hard time trying to start it. So glad I have guides to help plus I’m breeding certain Pokemon from my Violet game to really start it

[@driley1988]

#6 is what I always wanted in pokemon. It was always a pain trying to decide what moves I should keep and get rid of but now you can switch them all at will.

[@bigguschungus968]

Probably the most enthusiastic tone I have ever heard flacons voice have

[@blakeschafer211]

My first outbreak i went to was for growlithe. Got me a shiney right away!

[@foxxmcknight8955]

This is my first pokemon game I’ve played since emerald on the gameboy… I forgot how much I can get sucked into the world of pokemon lol

[@XShadOBabeX]

OMG HOLD EVERYTHING!! A move pool? Like, they don’t forget moves permanently?? That’s… so huge to me! Pokémon forgetting moves in the games was something I always laughed about. It’s like a human forgetting how to drive because they learned how to draw. XD

[@SugarEthnoherpetological]

who would've thought the boys would actually give a POKEMON game attention! am i Dreaming? this game is actually SO GOOD ive been playing for almost 24 hours now i cant sleep i must PLAY

[@milinddixit6583]

I always dreamt as a kid playing Pokemon Yellow on my Gameboy about how cool it'll be to play Pokemon in 3D and first person. Looks like they nailed it. Need to get me a Switch now.

[@professoroak445]

Same here. Grew up on Ruby/Sapphire more so than Blue/Red but I remember playing Yellow later on and being like what pilau I is following me?? Awesome. This game is the only reason I dropped $300 on a switch and I regret nothing

[@konayukisoy]

I've been playing Pokemon since day one with Blue and I've never been able to evolve Pokemon by trading. I'm so glad we don't have to do trade evolutions

[@guillermolopez1377]

I appreciate all the content before the spoilers Falcon! Makes me want to try out Pokemon again and finally put my brothers Switch to use. Before Elden Ring Takes over my Life!

[@sharonharris7534]

Thank u for the tips bro. I’m just starting the game so this is a huge help

[@Abc123______]

This game is amazing my only gripe with it is that it’s like drinking the finest Brandy served in a red cup lmao.

[@jaggerangel5564]

Legends Arceus is the game us og pokemon fans dreamed about when we were kids

[@snol]

Why does the title say "GAME DOESN'T TELL YOU" in caps, when it's all stuff that the game tells you

[@HamelMoricWriter]

Choosing them doesn't really affect much because you still get both Palkia and Dialga

[@ThatAlchemistGuy]

Got my first shiny less than 2 hours into the game, shiny drifloom. 2nd fastest ive ever gotten a shiny

[@JulzGein_]

The fastest I ever got a shiny was playing soul silver for the first time in 2011 and chikoritawas shiny in the starter select screen, but I didn’t know what shinies were and traded it to my friend.

[@balake21]

just started playing it yesterday (Pre-ordered the day before it released actually), and it’s so different but so good so far. i’m excited to meet my fav Pokémon: Zoroark… in its Hisui form ofc:)!!

[@Moisty-oo4hx]

I love that we don’t even need a “before you buy” for this one lol

[@airi8674]

this was actually helpful compared to the other "tip" videos that don't tell you anything new. thanks for this

[@lorkhan3488]

Actually your N°1 is wrong. After ending the first part of the story(Dialga/Palkia) the 2 leaders have a new quest where they will give you an object that allows you to change the form for theyre respective "god pokemon" So actually the choice really does not matter other than which one between Dialga or Palkia will be caught in the unique origine Ball.

[@prettylilhedz]

we're never going to stop using the term "overworld" though the entire game is overworld.. Love it! great review too though...

[@RetroGamerKnight]

The last Pokémon game I played was Black. I remember I would stay up all night with the volume down on my DSi so my parents didn't know I was still awake. I managed to get a few hours of sleep before having to get up for school. Good times :)

[@eelektricity6492]

1:10 also you can easily find them in outbreaks. Rowlet is coronet highlands, cyndaquil in crimson mirelands, and I think oshawott is in the Alabaster Icelands but I'm not sure

[@JDT98]

I did some research and found out you can change both of the forms for the legends Palkia and Dialga with items you can get in game for both so it seems like it doesn’t fully matter which you pick

[@KarlaO711]

you also can catch both. So this part wasn't true at the end. It only matters if you want a specific Pokémon in the special red ball (reminds me of a cherrish ball and may be the origin of it [nice detail at Game Freak's part :)]) then you have to choose which one you want to fight later.

[@ddaygames2231]

I play for 12 hours yesterday. I love it

[@misterpokemon396]

I get it tomorrow morning so this was greatly timed Thank you 😊

[@gryphon5026]

I pre-ordered this game and I'm loving the changes so far granted I'm still early in the game like 10 hours in but that said most of it has been just running around exploring/gathering/catching
