I also want to note, in terms of the weight animations, it also probably ended up saving some seconds, maybe even minutes, having a medium weight Pokémon, rather than the heaviest, because the animation of your trainer throwing the Pokéball is ALSO affected by weight. The heavier the Pokémon, the slower the throw!

yo they solved timer0?? that's huge. i used to do a bunch of rng abuse back in the day. in bw1 it was fine since you're really only getting 2 timer0s most of the time but in bw2 the amount of randomness just made me not want to even bother doing anything in it. it's not relevant to me now but it's really cool to hear it was eventually figured out even if nowadays it's used for completely different purposes

It's funny, the sprite work in Black and White 1/2 looks significantly better and more interesting than the modern Pokemon games and their 3d models. Just goes to show good art direction > good graphics. They've had multiple generations in 3d now and the quality of the pokemon is the same as they were in the first 3d game.. if anything they've gotten worse.

@ultraexcalibur1728 29 күн бұрын

I have a question. I know you most likely won't see this but I'm hoping at least someone does. When I watch Pokemon speedruns they don't call time until it says "League Champion Congratulations" which may be more understandable. When I watched Pokemon Black and White Speedruns time wasn't called until the final text box from N had been passed. However, in some games where they have these text boxes after the final moment of Gameplay and before the Credits this isn't the case. In Ocarina Of Time for example time is called the second they kill Ganon. Despite there being multiple lines of text that the player must manually skip prior to the credits. Why is this?

@PulseEffects 29 күн бұрын

@@ultraexcalibur1728 so, the most common traditional ending point for Pokemon runs is the fade to black screen after the Hall of Fame, but unfortunately not all games have a Hall of Fame. So for games such as Scarlet and Violet, Legends Arceus, and Black/White 1 we use the fade to black closest to the credits since that's the next spot that usually signals "you beat the game"!

Really? I remember that my team was barely under leveled back then and it was consistent through the entire game. That being said, I can see the problem if you don't take the optional routes.

@jaretco6423 8 ай бұрын

I disagree. I liked how the handled it. It makes Pokemons level up faster and it doesn't feel like an slog. Especially when compared to Gen. 4; which has the most sluggish ways of getting experience & level ups. Plus you got Audino, Lucky Egg, Exp. Share and other things to double or triple that experience and give other Pokemons an experience too.

you can't just put at the end some tass ass strategies and then go thats it. now i want to see how absurd the perfect run would look like when you can just manip to happen to have dust/bubbles happen in between you and a trainer every single time. a good commentator could make wonders of that

@PulseEffects 8 ай бұрын

I get that!, But that's why I linked the video at the end since I've covered this quite extensively on my Pokemon Black/White 1 video!

@GarfieldTheLightning 8 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, there just aren't many trainers you can skip with dust clouds / bubbles in White 2. I think besides the two shown in the video, the only other one is Ace Trainer Webster in Victory Road. As I understand it, the only reason it's worthwhile to skip the swimmer and ranger is because you can skip them both with a single manip, otherwise the process of saving, resetting, changing your clock, starting your game at the right time and doing specific movement doesn't net you any timesave.

@TTS4life 8 ай бұрын

@@GarfieldTheLightning Correct, skipping both is required in order to save time (you lose a lot if you attempt it and fail). Extending this to Webster in VR is also unreasonable due to Hidden Grottos making RNG calls every 256 steps you make. This means you basically have to hold manip through the whole game, because you have to know the state of the grottos. For skipping these two, the state of the grottos is irrelevant because it takes less than 256 steps from continuing the game to skip them. Furthermore, any variance due to biking mistakes and/or having to interact with trainers/strength boulders/water means that any minor mistake nearly destroys any chance of holding manip up to Webster, and as Garf said, a Save+Quit to skip one trainer is too slow, along with other issues that may arise from the lost XP/EVs from skipping a trainer.
