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.

[@Steast]

@@gosucab944I like that. It doesn’t feel like it’s making the game easier by just giving out info. The give and take system feels much more rewarding

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

[@misamisaa4547]

The bit about new players not knowing pokemon types is so true... I regularly babysit my neighbour's kid & she got a switch for her birthday, so I lent her my copy of Let's go Eevee.

I'm not terribly surprised. Jan is German and it's a movie that has shades of American military propaganda. I am aware that is the point but a casual glance doesn't tell you it's satire.

[@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.

[@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.

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. That's one of the big gripes that I have with the newer games, they just straight up shove in your face which moves are stong against a certain type and it takes all the experimentation out of it.

[@KazerLeanne]

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.

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

My friend and I did a soul link on USUM and I encountered a Klefki in the abandoned mart, which I used to 1v1 ultra necrozma. Foul Play, Thunder Wave and Screens with leftovers.

I also think Alpharad has hada good contribution to normalizing people playing nuzlockes with their own rules becauseof how casually he plays them. sometimes he will just be like "Fuck it" and do whatever he feels like for a good narrative, good content, and just all around good fun.

[@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'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.

[@oxrayxxx]

You brought up a fantastic point with the whole thing about accessibility. That's why I like ROM hacks like Radical Red. It goes out of its way to show you the types of Pokemon. I wish GameFreak would implement that into the games eventually.

[@imtheonewhoaskedlol]

Personally, I just like to guess the types of pokemon I haven't seen, since most of the time, their design reflects the type they are. Like take for example, Heliolisk. Its yellow, so electric. Houndoom is black, and hell, so dark fire. Most newer pokemon games are literally gonna reward you for clicking absorb on a swampert, and there's more strategy to pokemon than hitting the super effective move. I see why he says that, but I respectfully disagree.

[@lrose5522]

Yeah a lot of rpgs have at least another screen where it tells you either the enemy type or its weaknesses if it's not on the main screen.

[@nickchivers9029]

​@imtheonewhoaskedlol if the design reflects what they are most of the time, then why would it be such a big deal to just reveal the type?

[@AREAlhero]

@@nickchivers9029 Because discovery is one of the most important things in not just Pokemon specifically (though it especially is, hence why they make new Pokemon every gen), but in game design as a whole, and letting a new player correctly infer what type a new Pokemon is the single biggest avenue for that

[@nickchivers9029]

@AREAlhero I'd have to disagree there, on the pokemon games being mainly about discovery at least, though I'm not sure it even applies to video games as a whole. If it were the case that game freak designed their new game with discovery in mind, then why do they reveal almost all the pokedex ahead of time, including every pokemons type? I know there are certain cases where they keep things hidden, but that certainly isn't the norm if you go by how they promote every new game. Pokemon games are not about discovery. They are about acquisition. Come get all the cool new pokemon. And frankly, even if it were the case that discovery is what pokemon games are about, which they aren't, trying to figure out a pokemons type is not the single biggest avenue for that. I would argue that finding out where to acquire each pokemon and how they evolve are far more compelling avenues for achieving a sense of discovery.

i think not always seeing the types also adds some positives, like its something to explore and to get rewarded for it. feels good to master

Seeing jan in any other nuzlocker’s video always reminds me of the “Thanks for unpausing, Hassan”

IT'S EMIRICHU!!! Her cameo was so unexpected and yet so good! Edit: Also, I love Furfrou! Especially the Pharaoh trim for it, which looks amazing if you go for an Egyptian naming convention.

The animation... Chills!

2:26 I actually really like the grass starter simply because the start of the game let's you fight against opponents that have Pokémon that obliterate your starter. If you now take Rowlet, you can use the water Pokémon to go against the fire Pokémon and attacks your opponent has which is actually quite useful
