The point you make at 25:38 is something I've wanted and always have been jealous of the anime for because Ash ALMOST ALWAYS would just pull out his pokedex and eval it before combat all the time.

[@gosucab944]

I think there is some intrigue to it though. Catching a pokemon or fighting it and then knowing its type. Alternatively you could make the pokedex work like an Item. Spending a turn and then knowing its Typing, showing weak and strong types against it.

I think they should let you open the Pokédex during a fight like they do in the show. This would give people the ability to learn the types of new Pokémon during the fight.

[@ethnictendo]

True, but in before someone charges in screeching about how that would make the game "too easy" or something.

[@timob1681]

idk I feel like the games have already done a lot to make it easy to learn typing. not only can you read the pokedex after the fight, you don't even have to because the game automatically shows the effectiveness of moves on Pokémon you've seen before

[@mightymike9902]

Yeah he definitely foreshadowed Volcarona when Jan went back cause you can see larvesta’s spikes and then you see Volcarona’s wings at 31:15

[@UsrnamePending]

I still remember my first Ultra Sun playthrough. I didn't think anything of Ultra Necrozma because I lead with a Zoroark and the AI only saw a kill with a Psychic move. Kinda glad I dodged that bullet, lmao

[@LiamsLPs]

I loved the addition of the move effectiveness being shown! I think the reason they don't show Pokémon types with new encounters is they try to make each design with type clarity in mind, and part of the fun is seeing a new Pokémon and figuring out what type(s) it is

[@Rubywing4]

Plus getting the type revealed as a surprise when/if you catch the new Pokémon you've never seen before. When I encountered a Maschiff for the first time in Scarlet, I thought it was a Fighting type because it's crimson (like the Fighting type color) and looked like a fighter dog of some sort, so I was surprised when the Pokédex revealed it to be Dark. Same thing with Glimmet, when I randomly found one in the small northwestern cave/crag part of East Province Area Three, I thought it was like a Psychic/Grass type or something like that, I definitely did not expect Rock/Poison when I got it and the Pokédex revealed it to me. And when fighting Slither Wing for the first time, I totally thought it was Bug/Dragon because of the dragon-like tail it has, especially since I figured out it was weak to Fairy, and so I was kind of disappointed it turned out to be Bug/Fighting.

[@MoonbeamPony]

It also makes blind runthroughs more interesting when you don't know what types the new Pokemon are.

[@VerkatosEnsei]

That battle animation at the end was fucking incredible, holy shit

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

Really like your take on the type chart, cause it's absolutely true. My brother first started playing Sun and had a way easier time playing than X (which he played after). While playing X, he'd always come to me, asking me what was super effective. I ended up drawing him a type chart, but that became pretty tedious to use. By playing the newer games, where it tells you whats effective, he now has a better grasp on type match ups in general. People often forget that pokemon keeps getting new players. And that not all players have a good grasp on all the concepts it introduces. Hell, I have been playing for years and still dont have a full grasp on the competitive scene of pokemon. I also just learned 2 mechanics from XY i never knew existed? And also still mix up some stuff with type effectiveness. Pokemon being accessible to new players is a good thing. What we really need is a difficulty setting, so both old and new players (and casual players) can have a fun but challenging experience.

I agree with all your points about the accessibility changes they've made I just kinda wish they made them optional.

Regarding showing types to players for pokemon : Cassette beasts has a really great system of showing you in battle XXX type, and a key item in your bag you can look up mid battle.

24:46 This was one of the reasons I loved B&W back in the day. I had no idea what anything was and it was really fun trying to figure out what type the different Pokémon were just by experimenting.

[@CrezetheousV]

So about 24:30 the thing I love is that the WAY you get the super effective information to pop up IS BY encountering or catching one of them in the first place! So I really love the fact that it's not "the first time you see it, you get all the info" but it's more along the lines of "now that you've studied it, you know how to beat it!"

I actually like what they did in Scarlet and Violet when it comes to encountering pokemon. When it's a pokemon you haven't encountered, it doesn't tell you the type matchups, but after you fight a pokemon, it will reveal on the battle menu the effectiveness of the moves you used on it and when you catch the pokemon, it reveals all the type effectiveness when you battle the pokemon after that.

[@rowletmaboi]

The type effectiveness only shows up if you encoutered the Pokemon before, so you still habe to figure out whats effective on the first encounter.

[@dethtroy2185]

Larvesta is indeed in the ultra games only, that boulder Young dude mentioned earlier on in the grass trial area he said he'd go back to, when you get the power to move it with Machamp, it accesses a cave where you can find Larvesta, granted it has a 1% encounter rate, but that's how he got it. I'm glad to see what your take is on Ultra Necrozma Jan, I kind have to agree that people should be given a pass on that fight myself especially in mono nuzlockes that aren't dark based, the only person i've seen who said that it should not be allowed is Marriland, and he was rather cold about it.

[@jordanleighton6893]

Wiped at Ilima, decided I wasn't going through the cutscenes again so I "restarted" from Ilima with that gift Rockruff you got at the start of the game as my "starter" and no encounters. Since I picked Rowlet (cause I love my owl and was not expecting that much difficulty) the rocky doggo was fine. Barely scraped by for literally the entire game, toxic cheesed Ultra necrozma sacrificing a bunch of level 5 useless guys (the only thing I didn't go blind into because I heard a super tough fight was coming up so I prepped) and then decided to keep my nuzlocke going all the way through the post-game. I literally lost every single pokemon I owned except for an ultra beast and an Espeon, and Espeon was the only survivor after the Red fight. Had a lot of fun
