Hardest Decisions in Pokémon

[@amateraceon5202]

Personally, I always found that the hardest decisions for me in any give playthrough is trying to decide what nickname to give to all of my team members

[@jmurray1110]

I know that feeling I pulled some obscure shot to theme them My ceruledge is called spada because i looked up names of demonic swords and my corviknighf is named after a female knight (obviously I wouldn’t have if it was male) The worst part of when you forget to check the gender of your team member before choicing a nickname and don’t realise until you’ve finished it

[@Kyurem_originale_Form]

Easy for me. I never give nicknames

[@Mikewolv007]

I know. On my Alpha Sapphire Account, I remember taking 30 seconds to pick Mudkip as my starter. It then took me 30 minutes to choose a nickname (I decided to name him Gullyrum)

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

Some Pokémon are very easy for me to give nicknames to. For example, I named my Gholdengo Glorious in reference to Cofagrigus’ Glorious Gold shop in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, and my Appletun is named Apple Pen. 😂😂 But yeah, some Pokémon can be tricky to find names for.

[@Vincentpalmer22]

I always name them after characters from my favourite games F.e. V, panam, jackie, judy etc for Cyberpunk Or alexios, kassandra, neema, Deimos etc for ac odyssey And if i dont have anything new anymore i just cycle the games and use other character from these games

[@devam8192]

I have played all pokemon games till Gen-7 and never once did I ever use my Masterball in any of those games saving it for later😂

I play since Gen 1 and only used my Masterball, after I multiplied them with Missigno. xD And used them on every Mon, I was missing in the dex. But on normal playthroughs with only one MB I never used it.

About the evil team question, the answer is obviously skull. Do you know how relaxed Guzma is? The other evil teams are organized crime organizations. Team Skull is much more like a family. Guzma is chill as hell, and he’d probably let you use whatever Pokémon you like, while not asking too much from you. edit: typed this before 5:48 lol

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

[@ramshacklealex7772]

I've never played past gen 5, so I can't really give an opinion on Team Skull, but Team Aqua seemed relatively chill to me. More of a chaotic neutral vibe than outright evil. And I wouldn't mind dressing like a vaguely-punk pirate

[@ClefairyFairySnowflake]

It would be funny if the only requirement to join team skull is that you must have at least one bug type on your team that you actively use, so you can use a bugginium-z/ z moves.

[@TankEngine75]

Their outfits are awesome too

[@HackerDragon9999]

Organized organizations

[@aerostas_8678]

Strong agree on going in blind! The experience of seeing a brand new pokemon and being like, "Whoa what is this?! What type is it??" is so fun, especially when it suddenly evolves and you have no idea what to expect. It also makes the games harder since you don't know what you'll be facing. Highly recommend everyone give it a try at least once.

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

sometimes it's not worth it, like who would ever figure out how to evolve their Galarian Yamask without looking it up

[@DollyDalmatian77]

​@@theamazingspooderman2697 agree with you. If I had known about the paradox Pokemon ahead of time, I would've picked Scarlet instead of Violet.

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

​@@DollyDalmatian77yeah so personally some leaks are fine but the worst part is either the entire pokemons are leaked to me or none of them are

[@noahberan6498]

I did this with gen 5 as a kid. It was very fun, but for some reason I didn't figure out that Venipede evolved into Whirlipede, so I spent a while trying to catch a wild whirlipede lmao

[@bohanxu6125]

I never had a fair comparison between playing blind and non-blind. I do feel like playing blind the first time would make the second play through a lot more fun. The first time is seeing new cool pokemon and figuring things out along the way. The second is planning everything out and having a goal while playing through.

[@HerMajestyVelvet]

I’m so glad Home gives you the 3 starters for any given game you connect it to bc the Legend Arceus starters are all amazing and I didn’t want to have to give up using Decidueye and Samurott to use Typhlosion so getting all three of them for connecting to home was a godsend and let me rotate out which ones I used and still have a diverse team since I love having 10-15 play through mons I can rotate through using at any given time

[@kittensolder8818]

I mean you get the other two starters postgame regardless, it's there as part of the actual goal of completing the Dex that LA has

[@ewwitscullen9132]

The hardest decision for me will always be picking my fossil! I love the fossil pokémon, and picking Cradily vs Armaldo has always been an especially excruciating decision bc they are both so cool

[@samuelmelendez7566]

I'm surprised he didn't say that, the questions he said we're pretty easy since I'm a casual player but the fossils really stump me because there I like the option they give

[@pistincup352]

Currently preparing myself to shiny hunt the Pokémon from the Sail Fossil. The shiny form looks so pretty, and upon obtain the shiny on my newest Playthrough of Y, I will be letting everyone know about it. I’ll be putting it into Pokémon Bank (since the Playthrough I’m already doing is a Starter only Playthrough) so, when I finish the game, and play X, I will be using the shiny in all of its glory, upon being able to get the other fossil, and reviving said fossil. I’ll be nicknaming it “Pretty Aura”, and I’ll be calculating its IV’s like I’m doing with my Starter Playthrough. Currently from that Playthrough, the only known IV’s in all 6 stats, for a single Pokémon is the starter that started the entire Playthrough, my Female Fenniken I named Fire Fox, and when she turned level 20, (after evolving into Braxien at level 16), her IV’s are, in order from HP 27, ATK 9, DEF 14, Sp. ATK 19, Sp. DEF 22 and Speed 12 and she has 510 EV’s in total, with her highest 3 EV’s is 108 in HP and Sp. ATK and 104 in Speed. I can’t wait to be doing this in all of its glory when I finally get a shiny Aurorus. Hopefully, it’s a female (I may or may not got off topic, if I did, I am sorry) Edit: After researching, I have came up with a decision to get a an Aurorus that knows Discharge, which means I’m gonna be needing to do some breeding. This means, instead of doing it by grabbing a fossil, I’ll be needing to catch a Mareep, which means I’ll be needing to level it up a ton, until Level 32, have it evolve, so it’s not that awkward, and then, shiny hunt. I’ll probably make my life easier by having X be a save file so I can do the Masuda Method. It’ll still take an excruciating amount of time, but it’ll be 100% worth it when I get myself the lovely Shiny with Discharge

Armaldo is bug rock type. Obviously it is superior

Starters are definitely hard to choose and I find it difficult at times but sometimes I just go with the starter that’s probably not used much or the one that’s popular

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

In the first six gens I picked Water or Grass starters, specifically Squirtle, Turtwig, Totodile, Snivy, Froakie and Treecko. When Sun and Moon were announced I realized I had never picked the Fire starter before, so I chose Litten and decided I should pick the Fire starter for the next two Gens to make things even. Scorbunny was a very easy pick for Sword and Shield, and I picked Fuecoco for Scarlet and Violet after some consideration. I’m looking forward to the next generation, then I’ll be free to pick whichever one.

Prior to Gen 7, I’d save my Master Ball for the roaming legendaries. Good to have more options to use it now though

[@azurerandomness]

Hardest decision when it comes to starters for me is gen 4’s lineup, I love all three, but it also gets especially hard to choose between piplup and chimchar Fire types are rarer in sinnoh but penguin

[@Galeus708]

100% agreed. It's the one generation where I wish I could get all three starters, in the style of Pokemon Yellow.

[@gustavolopes5094]

YES, wow, I'm doing a replay of all the regions, still in Johto but I've been stressing about this exact issue since I started. Water Pokemon are everywhere and theres almost no fire types in those games, but, on the other hand, PENGUIN!

[@KirbyMario12345_939]

Also their leader is just a troubled guy, not an idiotic ecoterrorist or a genocidal maniac. Easy pick. Team Yell would be a good pick too because of Piers, but Team Yell has the lamest villainous team grunt music, but one of the best villainous team leader themes, IMO.

[@olivercharles2930]

[@bendoni9476]

The hardest decision for me is to go for a strong team or one that I like

[@ivanbluecool]

Honestly if I was stuck to just one starter type. Easy pick water as mudkip is there. Same with being able to fill out my team with grass so easily. I mean every grass starter can be replaced early game by something almost as good Fire types it's a bit more tricky especially pearl and diamond but you can find a suitable replacement by planning it out but the later games give easier options like talonflame and such so that becomes easier with time. Water types yeah every game has great water types but I can make due with ice and water moves on my starter I just like the water types overall the most

[@JStamato]

Easy access to surf makes it even better. Practically speaking the water type gets a big advantage, there are a few regions where the fire type is just much better though. Typhlosion in johto, infernape in sinnoh, emboar in unova and Delphox in kalos are much better and make a good case to pick the fire type selection

[@sharebear2103]

The grass starters have lost light in gen 6 but in gen 7 and 9 i started to like the grass started more

[@JesusMartinez-rr2ry]

This is exactly why I despise leaks. It shows that not only humanity being too impatient, but they are also too nosy as well.

[@blakdeth]

When I played gen 1 my starter actually did wind up being an hm slave. Blastoise can learn surf and strength and nobody told me that most hms suck. My naivete made me think that just because the moves were mandatory for progression they were probably good, and I never saw the stats of the moves either so onto my starter they went. I also had gyarados who outshined Blastoise so Blastoise kinda wound up only coming out for emergencies. My first pokemon playthrough was a mess.

[@onijester56]

Incidentally, Surf and Strength are two of the best HM moves to use for combat in Gen 1. An 80-power 100%-accuracy Normal-type move hits almost everything pretty hard. And Surf adds an invincibility-turn, as well as having 95 base-power on top of STAB and using Special. Those said, almost everyone's first playthrough of their first Pokemon game was a mess. That is part of the fun! lol

[@darklightning2730]

In terms of both Water and Grass type Pokémon, since both are super effective against Rock and Ground types, I end up picking either one or the other, which can be rough because both are starter types. And there are some Pokémon I want to use that are Water and Grass type Pokémon (mainly Water types because of how many there are), yet I end up having to either delay them, or ditch a starter.

[@Jaytwoster]

I usually use my masterball on the box art legendary, it just seemed natural.

[@DigitalxGamer]

Honestly, in this whole list, the hardest decision for me is easily which version to get. Because it ALWAYS happens where I'll love one box art legendary over the other, but the other version has the exclusives I want. Luckily, that problem is not NEARLY as big a deal as it used to be thanks to the ease of online interactions. Starters sometimes give me a big problem, but usually it's because there's a stage in its evolution line that I don't like that much or something.

[@InsaneDarknessGaming]

I would say another super hard decision is if you end up in a double battle/horde battle with two or more different shiny Pokemon. Which one do you take out, knowing that one probably has better IVs than the other?

[@briansherrod1916]

Awesome video idea! I’ll answer some of these questions on how I personally play. :) - Starter. I chose my favorite, but if I do a Nuzlocke, I chose the best one suited for the region. - I tried to avoid leaks best I could for Violet. I had zero idea on what the starters evolved into. - How I chose a game usually goes with the box legendary. - I’m on Blue game side. Johto & Alola games are my only red side choices out of those. - I’ll give my starter strong HM moves such as Surf or Fly..but use another Pokemon for moves like cut…like Bibarel haha! - Shiny Pokemon - the Gen 9 sandwich method is incredibly good. I got all Violet shiny paradox within a few searches each.

[@dragapultdashers3684]

Bro got me when he said why is it team skull.

[@darklightning2730]

In Gens 7, 8, and 9, there are always two starter Pokémon that end up becoming either Ghost or Dark type upon evolving which is annoying if there’s a Ghost or Dark type Pokémon I already want to use, and also because both types are super effective against the same things. So, I either have to have a Ghost and Dark type Pokémon on the same team, delay the Pokémon I want to use, or ditch a starter.

It's a hard decision to dedicate to a single starte type line.

honestly a hard decision for me is choosing what moves i want my pokemon to know, like if i want them to keep a certain move or forget it for a new one. For instance, say my pokemon has a move that has 80 base power and is 100% accurate, but then they get the chance to learn a new move that is slightly weaker at 75 base power and only 95% accurate, but has a 30% chance to make the opponent flinch or leave them paralyzed, do i keep the stronger move or do i take the chance with the 30% flinch/paralysis. And the choice gets even harder when the moves are different types, oh don't even get me started on different type moves right now...

Super late, but I just had the realization that I in fact do pick my Pokémon games based on the color. I’m attracted to blue and I have all of the ones highlighted in 6:31. I am flabbergasted that I did not realize this before, I’ve never had a valid reason as to why I had this preference

[@Lucifronz]

The starter is my one exception for going in. I want to know what I'm getting myself into. Chances are this Pokemon is going to be on my team the whole game. I try not to overdo it on spoilers for other new Pokemon, though. It's more fun to see those Pokemon in the wild for the first time and be like "yeah, I might use that in my team". 2:44 I tend not to use the Master Ball. I'm not really "saving it" so much as I don't see how I'd ever use it. I always use regular Poke Balls for standard Pokemon and any in my team will have the same matching ball, usually just Poke Balls but sometimes something special (like how I used all Friend Balls for my DLC save with Ogerpon, Hisuian Lilligant, Poltchageist, etc.). When catching shinies, I pay attention to their coloration to determine what ball fits them and so far, the only shiny I've seen I want to use the Master Ball on is Darkrai and I can only catch him in my second stored save of Shining Pearl thanks to the mystery gift's limited-time availability. So in every other game the ball is just useless to me. I hold onto it merely to trade or just in case I do find a use. 4:58 I never have this issue. If I want a Mawile, I'll trade for it and breed one for my own team. You generally only get one box legendary, excluding USUM and technically SV though you can't trade the first one you get, so it makes no sense to me to grab a version where you can't get the box legendary you like. Especially if, like me, you care about it being your own OT. Of course these days I typically grab both copies if my sibling hasn't grabbed one themselves. 6:30 Red. I originally got Sapphire as a kid and I do like Kyogre, but I think I like Groudon more. I also like Yveltal, Solgaleo, Koraidon, Palkia, Ho-oh and Reshiram more (not really a "red" version, and the sequel to White 2 has a red cover). It's not really a hard pick for me, tbh. If I could never play a blue version again, I could still be pretty happy. I also really want to state just how much I love Solgaleo and Koraidon. Those two *alone* make it all worth it. Groudon as well. I mean come on, there are just so many great "red" version legendaries. Even if I could never trade, there are still great options in there for random Pokemon. No more Sableye, but Zangoose? Pretty cool. 7:14 My shiny Gen 6 Greninja is in a Timer Ball. I felt it fits wayyyy better than a Luxury Ball. It's actually insane how good it looks.

1:06. Now that is SO relatable!!!

[@HackerDragon9999]

2:03 I picked Fuecoco (evolves to fire/ghost) and use Scovillain (fire/grass).

[@MafiaGaming-zl1os]

I will pick jirachi because it's the wish Pokemon then i will tell it to make this world a Pokemon world

[@nerdymidwesterner3662]

5:47 "and why is it team skull?" yep, read my mind perfectly

[@unrevoked7137]

i used to watch you in 2016-2017, its crazy to me your voice hasnt changed almost at all

[@VictorbrineSC]

5:11 The answer is very easy here actually, it's Snivy. It would also force me to spend more time outside since it's a Pokémon that needs sunlight and it'll make me way more healthier so yeah.

[@Kms-ff6pe]

Bro really described exactly my situation at 4:55 💀

[@Damechtia]

Damn it Alex! Stop calling me out on those masterballs! XD also, we all damn well know you got the mareep plushie, so don't lie to yourself XD

[@fireembliam9090]

3:44 I want to say in the Pokemon Universe the Meat is grown from plants from some Pokemon like Lechonk.

Hardest question : Where are you from? Yes or No

[@anarchist_loli9624]

I'm glad I'm not the only person that coordinates their pokeballs to their team

[@carucath97]

Hardest decision for me was whether I evolved my Pokemon, I generally prefer cute mons so I would try to make them work but their stats would be too low so I would relent and evolve them

[@TunaBear64]

5:09 Definitely NOT my favorite, can you imagine a 2.6m polar bear in my house, absolutely not. My second place yet still a solid 11/10 Typhlosion is a good choice tho.

[@igorlopes8463]

Picking my starter in MD was easy, I always aimed for pikachu, static was the only reason I beat the legendary birds in the first game

[@killdozer7792]

I used my Master Ball on Groudon in my Omega Ruby playthrough. I didn't want to, but it just refused to co-operate with me. It rested when I got its health low enough, always woke up once I got its health back down again, resisted EVERY single attempt at an Ultra Ball and then sometimes just randomly fainted. In the end, I got so frustrated I just threw my Master Ball at it. And then I nicknamed it "Mr Cuddles" just to spite it. XD

My violet team struggled with ice!!! Vivillon, Meowscarada, Dragonite✨️, Corviknight✨️, Baxcalibur...

[@IXPStaticI]

I would never spend 500 dollars on life sized mareep plush that's just ridiculous and stupid now if you excuse me I need to get beck to give a hug to my life sized furret plush that I had to import from japan via a third party and cost me even more than that as a result.

[@daniquemaxwell5070]

If I have to pick a starter from only one of the 3 types from every game it would be Fire type: charmander Water type: mudkip Grass type: treecko

[@Amelia4111]

DO NOT LEAVE OFF THE C IN TREECKO!
