The tera thing changes a Pokémon’s type to whatever its tera type is while it is active. So that Sudowoodo, when it’s in its tera form thing is actually a pure grass type. I thinks it’s funny for him in particular because it’s like a sudo sudowoodo

That's not very good, choose wrong gym and get destroyed, Pokemon gold and silver had level scaling based on a checkpoint system, so what the hell is this

[@Parapsyche]

Yeah, lack of any form of scaling or even direction in that manner is terrible design. Either get stomped out of the blue or you overlevel everything.

[@masterpink6963]

Just not good game design

[@FriskyD.]

There's really not an npc outside that warns you if you're underleveled?

[@darcidious99]

Being underleveled isn't really that big of an issue since it makes the game a decent challenge and much more fun. Being overlevelled however I find to be a major problem. I think they should only scale to match your level if weaker, if they're stronger they should def stay that way so you have to either get better or use strategy. Even being about 5 or so levels under you can easily pull out wins by using your brain just a lil bit.

[@amiiboguy7288]

37:12 that happened because Sudowoodo hadn’t Terastallized yet. It calculated it as a Rock type at first but its type changed to Grass

[@coolclips829]

Hey Choc. The move round is related to music. A round is when there are background vocals that are a measure or two behind the lead vocal I believe. So 1 person sings a line and when beginning the second line another person starts the first line a little quieter. That's why the move does more damage when more people join in on the "round". I believe it's supposed to exemplify more people singing together.

For the record, you'd pronounce the Academy's name as "Na-ran-ha", because it's the Spanish word for orange. In Spanish, J is pronounced the same way that we pronounce H in English. For example, you've probably encountered at least one person named Jose.

Yo, great video as always! I'd also like to share, as i heard you asked in the video, the places and missions around the game have fixed levels. So its smart to go a bit back and forth, and mix between the three main story lines. It keeps the challenge better that way, and the story more varied :>

[@darcidious99]

@@mastersio3647 I'm mainly just talking about theme/atmosphere. The only interesting thing to me is that gym leaders have secondary jobs, and that's only really relevant to Iono/grusha's pre battle themes. Ryme's pre battle thing is the most underwhelming being just the dragon gym from sw/sh (3 double battles) but with ghost types, though she was prob my hardest battle. I also hated how they did terastalize in the gyms since its always just that leaders type making it too easy to counter. Would've been much cooler if they had a pokemon of their type, but terastalized it to counter their weaknesses (like bug girl could become water to remove fire weakness, or grass could become rock to remove fire/flying weakness, that sorta thing). The e4 were just awful. No cool rooms/atmospheres for the battles at all, just one padded asylum looking room, and the worst champion I'd argue in the whole series, character and battle wise (apart from maybe hau). The steel e4 member though, was hilarious and i loved her. But to each their own, if you enjoyed it good on ya man.

The Sunflora minigame is definitely randomized. I had like two Sunflora up in the play place, a couple hiding behind buildings, a few in the maze... there were only a few that were out in the open.

Though this game has its technical issues I honestly think this is one of the best Pokémon game. Also IMDb can be reviewed by people who haven’t played the game and could make alt accounts to only vote on one game so…

[@ignacio4244]

But. This is not a movie. :B

[@ssjgotenks2009]

how is game wehr you pay 60 doller for less shit then 40 doller gmae the best

In Pokemon Sword and Shield: Marnie: "This move really expresses my feelings, don't you think?" She said that right before using bite.

[@joelroldan3276]

I choose fuecoco but should have choose the grass type. There is a lot of fire type Pokémon in the game.

[@JpgSilent]

"he's not as cute, he looks like an akward teenager" that's basically every starter since gen 1

[@baileyshep1644]

Can’t wait for the day where I get to experience this game for myself...also I feel like it’d be funny if you gave some really ferocious and badass-looking pokemon the name Cookie. Such a dumb name for a strong pokemon.

[@Kondase]

Your commentary and pronunciations are delightful. Keep it up.

[@josephgarcia4475]

What annoyed me the most besides all the bugs and choppy gameplay was that you had no idea where to start. You could accidentally jump into a high level gym or boss and you just lose lol but once you figure out where to go it makes things a lot smoother and fun also the map sucks you try going somewhere and are blocked off by water or something and have to go all the way around it takes some time figuring out

[@therealpringlesman3386]

This game is better than people say it is

[@andreasdimopoulos5826]

Choc should certainly keep in mind that Terastallized Pokemon's typing changes based on the crystal design that's on them, for example the Sudowoodo there turned into a Grass type from that

[@sinteleon]

That and gym leaders ALWAYS terastallize to their gym theme. Sometimes it's just for a gimmick like this, sometimes it's actually a stupidly good combo especially later on where they can counter the usual checks for their gym due to the original mon types.

[@JDLong006]

@@sinteleon The 5th gym's Tera Normal Staraptor with STAB Flying moves still scares me

[@amaze_z1953]

There's this one tower by the psychic gyn where you're supposed to climb ladders to get to the top, but since it's leaning you're not allowed to climb it 💀

[@bulldogblast1945]

You're supposed to use the legendary to get on top of it

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are unironically the best pokemon games for all the unexpected and wrong reasons-

[@gameswithpeachcord7498]

I wanted to avoid spoilers but if choc post anything I’m watching it.

[@GameAddicter]

I went east because it was a perfect opportunity to get one of each of the missions in that area. I started off with fuecoco so the titan was more difficult, but not impossible thanks to Wugtrio and it also helped in the team star battle. Then I have to go west because I couldn't catch all the other higher level pokemon

[@leohaddaway1257]

Yes the glitches are there but man it's a really fun game and I enjoy exploring the world and doing the gyms in any order and my starter (in violet at least) is Fuecoco

[@peppe_5]

Ive gotta say, i loved the heck out pla since it was something new from the usual Pokémon game and it had a good story and gameplay, and when they announced sv i thought it was way too soon for them not only that but with that but i was bumped since pla was going in the shadows once sv were announced

[@022107]

Same, could've at least gave PLA a year for us to enjoy before getting overshadowed by SV.

[@peppe_5]

@@022107 ikr, like in jannuary it was realesed and on febbruary they announced sv

[@Cigmacica]

@@peppe_5 don’t blame GF, TPC is pretty much forcing them to pump out games every 3 year

[@peppe_5]

@@Cigmacica still its no excuse to make this kind of games, i get 3 years arent quiet enough to make game of any kind expecially a open world like sv but still they dont use fully what the switch is capable of of even if its not at the levels of ps and xbox it can run oddisey or botw so why it can't run pokemon?! Simple GF doesn't want to use the full capability of switch for some reason

[@angryboi595]

Something I don’t get is that one of the biggest video game franchises of all time with billions of billions of money still can’t afford voice actors or put in the effort to put voice actors in

[@derekosgood3230]

They can afford it. But nobody is asking for it lol why put money into it

[@Rediscool9]

5:06 Actually, funny thing about that is is that Nintendo actually IS offering refunds for these games.

[@tappwaterstudios429]

The game’s been fairly stable for me tbh. It’s crashed twice but I’ve been playing it damn near nonstop since it came out. The frame rate does suck though. I loved the framing of a treasure hunt. All three storylines are great and the final storyline is pretty cool.

[@AceLeader101]

@@jowysw All of the footage youre finding online are specifically edited together to shit on the game, for the most part the game runs perfectly fine. After about a week of people getting their laughs in, start to listen to genuine reviews of the game and not just shitposts. Or you know, actually play it.

[@tappwaterstudios429]

@@jowysw No. I just have a regular V2 Switch. The Animal Crossing themed one in fact. The game is far from perfect and it’s embarrassing that Game Freak thought that this was acceptable. I just happen to have had a relatively pleasant experience compared to what others are experiencing which is unfortunate for them. A little bit of advice for whatever it’s worth for you. When responding to a post or comment make sure that you respond to what is actually being said rather that what you THINK or FEEL like is being said. When you react the way you did to my comment it gives off the impression that you didn’t read the full comment. It also gives off the impression that you aren’t someone who is worth having a discussion with since you might resort to making bad faith arguments where you twist what is being said and then react to your own version of the comment.
