GUYS GUYS GUYS, I realized about one pokemon coincidence. So, this has to do something about math, sooooo. (this coincidence doesn't include generation 1) do Do you guys know about the pokemon remakes? Lets have an example: Generation 2's remake is on generation 4. Lets use multiplication. 2 x 2 = 4!!! Each remake of it's generation is the double number of it's original generation! 2 x 3 = 6, the remake of ruby and sapphire is gonna be generation 6! 2 x 4 = 8, so diamond and pearl's remake is gonna be generation 8! COINCEDINCE?

It's interesting that you mentioned dark, psychic and fighting as potential starter types when they've already done exactly that, with the Kalos-starters. Honestly, I tend to forget that Greninja is part dark-type, because of its ability to change its type.

[@fight_and_die1573]

The Sinnoh and Alola trio had something similar but they didn’t work like with Gen 6 (Gen 4: Ground > Fire and Steel, Steel < Fire/Fighting, Gen 7: Dark > Ghost, Fairy > Dark, Ghost = Fairy)

Interesting thing about Swampert being the strongest starter objectively and Incineroar being the strongest starter in doubles is they have very similar stats, being slow and bulky physical attackers with still decent special attack so could go mixed depending on the set.

Just to correct you, blaziken wasn't banned because of batton passing, batton passing is already too strong by itself. Blaziken was banned because it was too strong as a revange killer. The ability to get speed boost + sword dance in only one turn, and the fact it still had 3 coverage mooves it could use with it gave it the ability to win any match with one good anticipation.

Replacement types also work for Rock > Fire > Steel and Poison > Grass > Ground, but they both include types that are apart of the original starter trio, so this is less likely.

[@frownyclowny6955]

Gen 5 starters are based off of high-up or important classes in different cultures, with a little bit of an old Japanese tale of 3 or so kingdoms mixed in there. Serperior is based of of emperors/kings, Samurott are based of off Samurai (duh), and Emboar is based of off Generals

A 4x weakness to ice is not good. Sceptile literally goes extinct when it touches a shard of ice. Swampert is obviously way better and blaziken gets speed boost and hits very hard.

I always thought it would be nice if for a Starter weakness triangle, that their sub-types went the opposite direction, but tried to avoid X4 weaknesses as much as possible. So Fire Flying, Water Fighting, Grass Rock in this case.

[@zememerr2329]

Gen 4 almost has this. Infernape can counter Empoleon with Fighting, and Torterra can counter Infernape with Ground, but then Empoleon is Steel so they end up being weak to both Infernape’s and Torterra’s secondary types

[@RotaAbyssian]

@@zememerr2329 Yeah, the "AAAAALMOST" factor is kinda like Gen 6, except in that one they fortified the pre-existing loop. I just think it would be cool as a teaching tool for kids to learn about type match ups, and to have varying move pools to cover disadvantages. It's not even that sweaty of a concept either, and by baking it into the starter trio, it raises the chances of kids internalizing that without necessarily having to be told it, or even realizing themselves that they're doing it. And it would give something for the rivals to do, and give a bit of surprise. The first time the "Weak" rival busted out a super effective move on their subtype, it'll be an eye opener.

[@Yharim]

I would love to see a typing variation for future game starters. The combination of grass , fire and water is good , but I wanted something new that would be very innovative

fighting dark psychic is also the secondary types of the kalos starters greninja - water/dark chestnaught - grass/fighting delphox - fire/psychic also if ghost type was super effective against fairy: decidueye - grass/ghost primarina - water/fairy incineroar - fire/dark

[@Pascll]

correction: the gen 5 starters do NOT represent asian higher social classes. serperior is based on french royalty, and I don't think I have to remind you that france isn't an asian country. instead, the theme with the gen 5 starters is that they represent europe (serperior), china (emboar) and japan (samurott). this was because something they wanted to incorperare in gen 5's characters and pokemon was diversity, and different nationalities, inspired by the diversity of people in america/new york compared to a place like japan.

12:27 that is literally one of my most favorite parts of this video. I Love your videos!

You were way off with fact number 18, at least with gens 1-3 but also 5. Gen 1's starter theme was grim scientific experimentation; the Bulbasaur line being an abomination combination of a plant and animal (which is why its plant traits are the least seamless of any grass starter), the Charmander line being a lizard genetically mutated into a dragon and the Squirtle line being turned into a freaking cyborg. This fits in with Kanto's whole dystopian theme with Team Rocket, living pollution Pokemon like Grimer and Koffing, The Pokemon Mansion, why so many Pokemon are classified as endangered, the unbalanced Pokedex and the ultimate legendary Mewtwo being a crime-funded super weapon. Gen 2's starter theme was purity; A stark contrast to Kanto's dystopian theme, the Johto region as a whole is cleaner and less corrupted and this is reflected in their starters being mono-type and having more natural designs. Gen 3's starter theme was habitats; The Hoenn region as a whole has a theme of harmony in the natural world and this is reflected by Hoenn despite being a small island having many different types of habitats and the plot to maintain that harmony by stopping Team Magma/Aqua. The Treecko line represents the rainforest, the Torchic line the volcano and Mudkip line the shore. Gen 5's stater theme was cultures but you were a bit off with which ones. The Snivy line has been stated MANY times to be based on FRENCH royalty, the Tepig line has a Chinese theme and of course the Oshawott line is Japanese inspired. It could also be said that Gen 7 continued Gen 6's RPG class theme with the Archer, Berserker/Barbarian and Bard

The last part of the explanation for the Kanto region is kinda iffy since Mewtwo was stated to be a baby Mew had, it was Mews offspring and not a experiment to make the perfect pokemon (unlike the movie or what LGP/LGE hints)

“Honestly I am all for gender differences” that can easily be taken out of context

[@terramarc]

Paldea’s starters definitely follow a theme, as they’re all performers which you would usually see on stage, being an illusionist/magician, a festival dancer, and a singer, most likely of song origin being from a musical/opera (just to fit the rest of the theming as general stage entertainers) or of a sort of prayer or other appeasement of a higher power (from the name “torch song” and skeledirge’s overall design more so following a ritual-like mask)

Fact : Infernape is the best starter of all time

[@charannotfound5006]

I found you

[@huuuooo6841]

Hii

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

I do love my some Infernape, that's for sure. Going to be my starter for the gen4 remakes, no questions asked!

[@JZJ7777]

As someone who never played the Gen 4 games, I can’t agree or disagree, but that sounds highly opinionated.

Another fun fact: The fighting-psychic-dark type theme is actually used in gen 6 as the final evolutions use them. Chesnaught (Fighting), Delphox (Psychic), Greninja (Dark).
