"This meat on your sandwich is so undercooked, I could use it as an ingredient to make a TM!"

[@UnkelFill]

Arven: Makes sandwiches that unlock the dormant potential of a legendary pokemon Gordon Ramsey: Can't even make a Grilled Cheese. Arven chooses to not be a chamption and probably would choose to not be a celebrity chef because he just wants to make food that heals pokemon more effectively than the paldean healthcare system Arven is a true chad. Be like Arven.

[@megmalins]

most likely, actually. It’s canon he researched everything for and about sandwiches

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

The teachers didn't want to deal with bullies, so Team Star took it upon themselves to do so...American schools in a nutshell. Giacomo didn't have to go THAT hard with Penny's theme but I'm glad he did. The fact he didn't know who she was yet managed to create the ultimate quiet kid theme is chef's kiss. Another thing with Team Star is that the squad bosses use different Pokéballs that match their personality! Giacomo uses Timer Balls because he's a DJ and timing is key, Ortega uses Luxury Balls because he's from a rich background, Atticus uses Repeat Balls because he's stuck in the past with the way he talks, Mela uses Quick Balls because she's quick-tempered, and Eri uses Heal Balls because she cares the most about protection.

The whole AI Sada thing makes sense if you look between the lines. Sada made the AI with her memories and likeness, which is why the AI showed affection towards Arven because the AI knew Sadas true feelings towards her son. However, the real Sada, while obsessed with her work, would not have wanted the region destroyed if things got out of control which is why she made It to where she could deactivate the time machine if she needed to. Thus when Sada died, the AI carried on in her reaserch but eventually realized the danger said reaserch posed to the region. Sada always had that looming possibility in her mind and, thus, that fear transferred to the AI when it was created. So even though its technically a robot with no human emotion, it is logical and knows it cant allow Sada's reaserch to destroy Paldea. The Protocol taking over the AI makes sense because someone other than Sada was attempting to shut down the time machine, which is why all pokeballs aside from those registered to Sada were locked and incapable of working. In the past Game Freak has been really blunt with its story telling but this is very much a "you have to look between the lines" situation. Honestly it's some of the best storytelling I've seen in a Pokemon game.

[@OmniMon94]

agreed

[@ryan-cn2rq]

yeah i thought his take on AI Sada was strange for that reason

[@kamentrainerhorn2073]

The real Sada was twisted. Borderline maniacal, since she made the Paradise Protection Protocol so powerful and assertive that even her AI doppelgänger wasn't enough if it failed and that a good chunk of her prioritized her dream of time travel over the safety of Paldea. Kinda fits with how Penny continued to fight for Team Star's existence, despite working so hard to end it. It's safe to say that SV took its treasure theme that seriously.

[@Hello-lf1xs]

tbh with how advanced AI sada seems idk why ppl would think they would have no emotion - there are artificial POKÉMON in the series who are fairly normal, afaik

[@OniBoiXD]

I understood the ai professor differently 🤔. I understood that the ai was made to run the time machine; as in it was part of it. The professor copied their mind and after their death the ai (which has a copy of the professors mind) realized how dangerous it all was. The Ai was running off the professors knowledge until the security system activated which was a simple goal(protect time machine) related ai behavior written by the original professor before they saw how dangerous it all was...but that's just how I interpreted it 😅

[@pinkvanillaice7844]

Yeah I did the same thing as you. I think it's the only thing I didn't like about this video since I don't really get why he got so salty about the story lol.

[@SwiftpawWolffox]

Points need to go to Arven for not only caring for his 'favorite' Pokemon but he kept and worked with the pokemon he picked up to help with the Titans. They weren't just 'oh I will use this just because it has an STAB or Resistance'.

[@Bloomkyaaa]

Food pokemon.

[@JakoBpyroTech]

This was really nice, Arven is definitely one of the better characters in Sc/Vi (despite the initial standoffish first impression), and seeing that he has a solid team (which ends up being mostly food based) is really cool to see. Putting in a prediction now, watch Eri become the new Nessa. Penny is definitely the next one I'd like to see. Speaking of, pointing out the constellation naming of team STAR was a nice touch, I actually hadn't heard that yet. Another nice touch is using the new non-inkling human PNG to represent you on screen for a pokemon video where you aren't roleplaying as a 'mon in game.

[@Pikatwig16]

Even managed to eke out a victory with Great Tusk and a dragon tamer near the false dragon despite almost losing. Even Nemona and the champion never got me to almost losing or losing, I even make it a point to not Terrastalize against Nemona just to be a jerk.

[@flopps1051]

20:51 Alright, I don't have a Masters in Computer Engineering like you do, but what? What about the ending made no sense? As far as I know, everyone loved it. AI Sada was powered from the Tera Crystals in Area Zero. If you're talking about how AI Sada was able to stray away from the professor's original view, she could have realized that, without the influence of real Sada's emotions, that her goal was selfish and destructive. Or it could be the terastal crystals giving her her own personality since people theorize Terastalizing represents imagination. Or it could be the fact that she wasn't under the potential influence of the 3rd legendary unlike Professor Sada like some people theorize. Either way, this cannot be worse than Sword and Shield, where the villain literally cannot wait one day and the player character is kept out of the story for 90% of the game.

[@Tronerfull]

I just found this video. Dont worry I have a Master in Computer Engineering , this guy is just very oblivious or just not very clever. Like seriously is a fantasy setting and the Ai was created using magic crystals of course It would be able to draw its own conclusions. Its more of a mental map copy but come on, WORSE than sword &Shield? give me a break. It may be the best conclusion of a okemon game since 5.

[@jacklightfoot1591]

The robot professor makes so much more sense for Violet than it does for scarlet. Like, yes I can totally believe that accessing the DISTANT FUTURE gives you the technology required to make a near-perfect robot clone.

Nemona I also have an easy enough time beating to the point where I don't even bother terrastalizing (not even for the tutorial) and Penny was the easiest because I could actually remember Eeveelution names so I knew the exact counter for each one.

"You only get to see him like one more time after his battle" you get to see him TWO more times. The clip you showed at 16:11, and then when Geeta tasks you to inspect the Gyms and rematch the leaders. And it says a lot about how much Larry cares about you when he STILL finds time out of his busy schedule to make it to the battle between you and Nemona...unless Geeta forced him to be there than let him see his wife and kids for once. Larry's a whole mood And you really pulled the 🤓card when it comes to the AI professor part of the storyline...you don't need a master's degree to understand why the AI professor is that way. The AI professor has the professor's mind. The professor knew despite their obsession with the past/future that the region's ecosystem could get destroyed if they're not careful, which is why the AI acts the same way by wanting the time machine shut down but also battling the player to protect it. It's not the professor shutting it down, so it sees the player as a threat.

[@testerwulf3357]

Exactly, it was likely coded with a defense mechanism if anyone tried to impact the research (shut down the time machine)..that coding overwrite the AI's other coding forcing it to go into battle mode to protect the time machine even though it wanted to shut it down; it makes a lot of sense! Real life robots do certain stuff with coding though not as extreme usually; like shutting down when something broken is detected, this overwrites it's "put on a show" coding forcing a complete stop (Some of the newer Disney park robots work like this), or overwriting the moving "go to this destination" code with "flip over" when pushed over onto it's back.

“Could Arven Become Champion” Thankyou for this video I needed it

[@lunarbeetl3]

How do you not understand AI Sada/Turo? The real Sada/Turo made the AI to help with their project however when they died the AI had to continue their work without the original. The AI had doubts about why the original professor was bringing paradox pokemon to the present and decided it was a bad thing, going against what the original professor wanted. Aka the AI basically grew to be its own being even with the originals memories.

[@lunarbeetl3]

There's also a lot of subtle writing going on here. We don't know why Sada/Turo were so enamored with the "time machine" (quotations over time machine because there is theories that it isn't even a time machine). There's definitely missing pieces of information that we don't know yet, and I think it's purposely being hidden for DLC content (third legendary "disc pokemon" and a reason to why Sada/Turo made the machine).

[@WhoTookPlockrock]

I was surprised before the Area Zero quest how challenging Arven was in a fight, he gave me more trouble than Geeta.

[@cmrobles]

I thought AI sada’s story was the best part of the game??? If she’s a machine with feelings it makes sense that she asks you to stop her when the programming inevitability makes her do what she was made to do. She disagrees with her creator but can’t disobey her programming. I thought it was a neat twist on what could have been a super generic evil robot.

worth noting that terastal energy itself "enhances" anything it touches. and now after the dlc we know that it also responds to thoughts and wishes (bringing back loved ones at the crystal pool or manifesting paradox pokemon during heath's expedition once he became aware of paradox pokemon during his dream of the future) so it stands to reason that it could be used to enhance an ai into sentience if that was the *intent* one went into it with. the terastal energy would just magically make whatever needs to happen happen to make the result you want become possible.

I think I cracked A.I Sada Mr. Games from some of the research or on to something. Book Number 2: At last I can resume work on the Tera Project! I'll move my research to the Zero Lab this month. My team will be smaller, but no matter. The strong influence of the crystals makes our experiments much more unstable. The crystals' power is tremendous! Their unstable output made our corporate backers fret, but... If we can harness this energy, it will open up research possibilities we'd only dreamed of. At last, paradise will be ours to create. My new assistant has intellect and technical skills to rival my own. A bit rigid at times, but I've got no serious complaints. Productivity has doubled. We even brought in a second Koraidon via the machine-though this one has proved aggressive. ------------------- Also you skipped a word “At present” This might be speculation but Something telling me that A.I Sada wasn’t used using modern day technology but futuristic. Somehow during development of Tera Project was brought from the past with Paradox pokemon. Or The way she’s running at once a simple AI turn complex with a dying Sada memory. The assistant was said to be rigid but AI Sada is not. Maybe from a parts perspective. Her power source is connected to the crystal and storage because she has Sada memory like the Superman Crystal. And for A.I. Sada to even calculate that complexity would require alot of power. With the addition of if she’s wirelessly changing she can’t leave and her programming bound her to the Time Machine to protect. But it also shows how this game story really built more for Turo…

[@k2basior]

Few ideas for next challengers: 1. Kukui There's Lycanroc (both Midday for Kukui and Midnight for Masked Royal), Magnezone, Braviary, Crabominable (Masked Royal fight) and Decidueye. 2. Hau with Decidueye, Noivern, Alolan Raichu, one of the Eeveelutions, Kantonian Tauros, Crabominable and Komala:-) 3. Honey's and Mustard's son with a mix of their Teams: Urshifu, Luxray, Corviknight, Lycanroc, Salazzle, Blissey, Gallade 4. Wally Gallade, Garderovoir, Magnezone, Altaria, Azumarill, Garchomp, Talonflame. 5. Blue Arcanine, Gyarados, Tyranitar, Eeveelution (preferably Jolteon), Magnezone, Cloyster, Heracross, Charizard, Kantonian Tauros

I friggin loved this video. i was waiting for this very moment, and I am so glad it happened! Gotta say, I loved the story telling, and I loved the analysis you put in. I coudln't agree more that Arven could have been the very best if he hadn't been hit with Steven He: *E-MOTIONAL DAAAAMAGE!* However, I can't deny my curiosity on this. Why do you think A.I. Sada's an even worse lore based final boss than Rose? She was an A.I. created by the original Professor, was uploaded with her memories, so basically a backup for Sada (Like a Hocrux for "Harry Potter"), and was tied to the time machine. Sure, it sucked that we had to face her twice cuz of a backup plan for the off-chance A.I. Sada lost (Paradise Protection Protocol), but how is that a bad plot device? Little wonky, but not crazy if you think about how crazy Sada was and how much the time machine meant to her. Just look at how Arven turned out! Strong, but broken. She wasn't afraid to go the distance for her work, no matter what sacrifices it entailed. Hell, she died for our bike, which is honestly a surprise. The only thing I COULD say that sucks is that A.I. Sada decided to go to the past. Yes, that make sure the time machine stops, but c'mon, she's literally Sada's memories given life again, meaning she is basically Sada reborn. Artificial Intelligence? Maybe, but it still runs on the fact that she/it has to act like the original Sada in the programming. What I'm trying to say is this: *Why the #%@$ would you leave your creator's/your son in his time of need, AGAIN, and go off to your own adventure where you'll die and he never gets to see you ever again?!* That's the only thing I disliked bout this. Anyway, really good video. Loved every moment of it, and I'd LOVE to hear your follow up video to explain why A.I. Sada/Turo are bad in story lore.

[@VaskoGames]

Yeah I'll prob end up making a video about why I didn't like the ending. You definitely mentioned a few of the points already (AI can't leave area zero but then leaves area zero to time travel?! Sada sacrificing a lot for her work, but then jumping in to save one random pokemon?)

[@ZexalDSJAsh]

@@VaskoGames Well, those points can be easily countered with 1) The A.I. can't leave cuz of her power source being this area, meaning she wouldn't survive for long outside of Area Zero, not completely bound. 2) If bringing Pokemon to the present was part of her work, then I guess Sada would sacrifice herself just to make sure that the Pokemon, she successfully brought back, would survive. Basically, any Pokemon brought through the machine successfully = product(s) of her work = her work. But yeah. it is annoying and intriguing at the same time. I'ma be the first one to hop onto that video when ya post it. Promise.

[@Lionwoman]

@@ZexalDSJAsh Also because of that, past or future, the AIs are most probably dead if there are no crystals there. So indeed they sacrificed themselves in a smooth way.

[@flopps1051]

@@ZexalDSJAsh 1) Her power source are the Terastal Crystals, yes. She is able to leave at the end, but it is implied that this will lead to her death due to her going into the unknown and also the fact that she can never return anyway. It's the same thing as a sentient robot taking out its own batteries. 2) AI Sada said that the original professor "wanted nothing more than for the Koraidon to survive and thrive." She was obsessed with the past paradox pokemon, and the Koraidon was probably special since she could only ever get two unlike the other Paradox pokemon.

😊 Now this is kinda conversation is something I love looking forward to. So many thoughts and views conveyed about a certain topic(s) is just so fun. Consideration from differing perspectives, and seeing others with like minds and differing minds come together on this, but without it turning into a negative talk (i.e. insults, slander, etc). This just gets me more and more hyped up for videos like what Vasko is planning to do.

[@edb36mar]

As soon as I saw Arvn had a Garganacl I knew this challenge was gonna be easy, that pokemon alone got me through the entire game salt cure it self shits on the titanias even at stage 2 which is where zmI discovered how OP it was.

[@DERRELL-qw8kw]

Not gonna lie, when I met Arven, I didn't like him, but after completing his story, I love him and am sort of crushing on him really bad❤

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

Same minus the crushing part. Thought he was a weird dude but after learning his goal and calling my player character little buddy, it was hard not to like him after that.

[@kamentrainerhorn2073]

@@MysteriousTomJenkins He's like Hugh, but with a dying dog instead of a stolen cat. And, his family ignores him.

[@PhantasyPen]

Boss fights use the friendship mechanic I'm 99% sure, so it's NOT cheating on these runs.

[@sahuanitasahu7696]

Mom is the sandwich master

[@TheSmashWaffle]

What's funny is that we learn later on that Arven doesn actually go on to face the gyms to become stronger.

[@emilycotterell7391]

Ooo wonder if you would do a play through to see if a young Sada or turo could be Champion. Have their teams be like the present forms of the paradox Pokémon they use.

[@robertbarrows6687]

I'd like to see this one rewritten to be part of the main narrative you're doing @VaskoGames!

[@warriorskitcat3859]

2:07 water types and some others, I think all Eeveelutions except flareon can swim

[@MatsuyoRific]

Here's an interesting challenge. Could Rei/Akari beat Scarlet/Violet with only Hisuian Pokemon? You basically bring Hisuian Pokemon in from home to breed eggs for your team, and for Pokemon that only evolve Hisuian, you catch them in game and transfer them into LA to evolve before moving them back to your game.

[@OdioSunday_Nightz8]

Been waiting for this!

[@FuntimeMarcel]

Yes knew there would be one about arven

[@Bearie_dasillybear]

I love when arven battles his parents
