@@Schist025 I want you to imagine that it's the last pokemon you need for the dex and you manage to get the peat block and Ursaring the day after a full moon.
Indeed, also being able to catch them with strategy and stealth, and being able to sacrifice agility for power or vice versa also makes for some interesting strategic twists in battles. Now, if we were also allowed to more directly control our 'mons, that would be absolutely stellar.
The thing about nerd cubed is that despite him playing games the complete opposite of how I’d play them he is such an entertaining bastard that I can’t help but enjoy him
I started watching this channel in middle school. I like to think it’s been a major influence on who I am today. I haven’t watch a video of yours in a while but I’m glad to be back.
Dan, do you not know about the food? Distract Pokemon with food and they'll be easier to catch while eating. (even easier if they like that specific food) It also sets up for easier catches because they'll have their backs turned etc. for back attack bonus. Literally just having oran berries with you works to catch basically any alpha Pokemon without battling.
@@DeathnoteBB Gyarados is flying/water type despite being based on a f-ing chinese dragon and able to learn a bunch of powerful dragon type moves. " the guy's making a joke saying Gyarados is a flying type so he can float like that.
The best thing about this game is that you can just switch to your pokeball hotkey in a battle like when in free mode, and lob sith the throw pokeball button, and Dan is still using menus to lob them! Also, if you're just lobbing balls from far away, why not use the sniperballs?

They've lightened up in recent years, but Nintendo tend to be super hard on copyright for anyone showing their games on CZcams. Plus they tried their shitty partnership program a few years ago (Any Nintendo videos you made were owned by Nintendo and they got 40% of the ad revenue) which left a bad taste in a lot of creators mouths, and a lot of them including Dan just said they won't feature any Nintendo games in that case.
One of my favorite Pokemon is haunter and I caught an alpha Gastly then evolved it and I have to say that alpha Haunter is stupid big and I love it. I then made the mistake of evolving it and Gengar is smaller than Haunter for some reason so I had to catch another one.
Daniel! You can easily replace the sticks. I know you have an Ifixit kit. And I know Matt has changed his controller shells. So worst case just fob the repair off on Matt.
im so glad im not the only one who thinks this game looks like utter shit. The towns are dead, the pokemon are janky, and what little of the wilds arent barren, its all copy-pasted foliage
every naturally spawning Pokémon has a random chance to spawn as an alpha and there are 14-19 guaranteed alpha spawns in each region of the map so there's a high chance of getting quite a few in a regular playthrough. sadly, legendries and mythicals are both shiny and alpha locked just like other modern Pokémon games.
@@Mattophobia Yes, Gamefreak in recent years were offloading the Pokemon games to low level developers. That's all come home to roost now they've tried to make an actual update to the franchise. For the biggest IP in the world, it's going to die a slow death if they can't attract some decent talent to make an actually good game and not manage the barest minimum of an improvement.
it refreshes the rather stale pokemon formula, with a significant, more fun gameplay change. That's enough to let people thoroughly enjoy it. From waht I've heard it's the best PLAYING pokemon game in a long time. Graphically..the Diamond/Pearl remakes are miles better, even Sword/Shield were better. At least Scarlet/VIolet look like they'll bring the graphics more up to snuff of what the switch can do.
@@avanguline Yeah.. reminder that skyrim, the witcher and warframe can run on switch, all of which look 100x better than this even while running on switch hardware
yeah, literally one small piece of cardboard to get a bit more pressure on the stick. All you need... which does raise questions about why it's manufactured this way tbh.
yeah but they also have tiny screws and depending on what "fix" you use they could break again in like a week, I'd just stick to using a pro controller or 3rd party controller at this point.
The video starting with joycon drift is the most nintendo thing ever.
Eh, definitely a nintendo thing, but it's a blight on the whole industry right now with the terrible sensors in joysticks these days.
Gyrados flys through the power of BEING A BIG FUCKING DRAGON. And nothing else.
He flies because gravity is scared of Gyarados.

It's not too bad if you just carry around an ursaring while doing other things. Unless you were going for multiple of them or something
@@Schist025 I want you to imagine that it's the last pokemon you need for the dex and you manage to get the peat block and Ursaring the day after a full moon.
Being able to physically throw down Pokémon is a dream come true
Indeed, also being able to catch them with strategy and stealth, and being able to sacrifice agility for power or vice versa also makes for some interesting strategic twists in battles.

This pushed me to buy the game 😂

Dan it's 2022. You must revist Kenneth Kennethson like you said you would 5 years ago!
Zubat is the only alpha without glowing eyes since it doesn't have eyes.
I love that about the game, it's such a small thing, but I love it.
Dan just dismissing Gible like that hurt my soul
Seeing Dan Ignore the Hisuian Zoroark is painful
With terrain straight out of Motocross Madness circa 1998.
Shoutout to zoomzoom0 for being there every time
zoomzoom0 is the true alpha in this channel
Gyrados is suspended in the air because of Flying Type infinity energy. This is the true reason it has a Flying type instead of a Dragon type.

Oh yea i remember that now, I had a friend in high school tell me super proudly how he made 3 cents off that "partnership"
One of my favorite Pokemon is haunter and I caught an alpha Gastly then evolved it and I have to say that alpha Haunter is stupid big and I love it. I then made the mistake of evolving it and Gengar is smaller than Haunter for some reason so I had to catch another one.
there's a propper fix for stick drift now, btw
Open up the controllers and put a small piece of cardboard in it, I've heard that helps
This Nintendo 64 game looks awesome.
I literally leave my pro controller off for months, even a year once, and have only needed to charge it one time >.>
Daniel! You can easily replace the sticks.
I know you have an Ifixit kit. And I know Matt has changed his controller shells.

WIGGLE THE STICKS TO TO MAKE THE THINGS (drift dis)APPEAR!
I had an amazing time finding shinies in this game. I have a whole Team of them I just came across by chance.
I just throw a berry to distract the alpha pokemon and then nail them in the back with a gigaton ball.
*literally flexes in your face*
"That pokemon hasn't seen me yet"
Clearly this is game of the year material
im so glad im not the only one who thinks this game looks like utter shit. The towns are dead, the pokemon are janky, and what little of the wilds arent barren, its all copy-pasted foliage
Holy shit, there are alpha Lucarios in this game?... I may have to get this

13:20 That guy looks like his face is from a PS1 game WTF?
Please do a video of you beating the boss fight against the trainer.
Doesn’t machamp not attack in the wild zone?
Hmm... How do the pokeballs work? Are they bigger on the inside?
The start of this game, they say that Pokémon are so special because they can shrink. And Pokémon means "pocket monster," so no tardis needed.
Top quality gaming in a top quality game.
Lmao I've had my Switch since December 2018 and no stick drift on my end.
Same here
I started watching your stuff back before you even played bully
Where's Emma, mate?

Nintendo should get around to making a console that can run these games without them looking like the aftermath of the cold war

This game is so fun but damn i wish it was not so ugly
This is one of the ugliest AAA games I’ve ever seen. It must be really fun if people are actually enjoying it.

That framerate…man even Nintendo is struggling with their hardware now. The game already compromised so hard on its looks and it still runs like that
Imagine how great this game could have been if it didn't have to run on a switch...
@@OppositeToUp graphics don't make a game, but yeah game freak really needs to up the game
@@OppositeToUp honestly I don't think the hardware is the issue, I think it's just... really badly optimised.
@@avanguline Yeah.. reminder that skyrim, the witcher and warframe can run on switch, all of which look 100x better than this even while running on switch hardware
It's not the hardware. GameFreak just can't optimize 3D code for shit.
my god this game isnt just ugly its veritably fugly.
there was a brief window where i forgot how awful this game looked, but now i'm barefoot in the broken glass
