I still can’t comprehend what they were thinking with the Z-A starters.
>Legends Arceus had gen 2+5+6 starters, can’t wait to see what Z-A will have!
<another gen 2 starter
>oh… they really shouldn’t repeat gens like that, but fine, the other two will be better
<another gen 5 starter
>another repeat?… well at least it’ll be good to see my boy Snivy again-
<it’s Tepig
>o-oh… well, surely they won’t screw up all three choices
<a third gen 2 starter
>what

Jokes aside, yeah. Gen 3 got so many megas in ORAS that I (premiere gen 3 fangirl) am more than okay with this. It opens up more room for cross-gen evos, after all. I do hope most of the oras megas are obtainable in Z-A though, instead of just the three-ish they showed in the trailer.


based beyond belief, you get a pass for now


Honestly, I can see it. I don't know if this is rumor or fact, but listening to the guy's stuff had me drawing comparisons before I even read your post.

I wonder why he came back to Pokémon remixes in 2024 though? That's definitely what gave him away to my ears, the older stuff is too generic to really make out anything PRS-sounding.

EDIT: he did some in 2019 that I didn't notice. So he took a 9 year break, then left for another 5. Maybe he just makes these when he's in the mood lol

Why does he have an entire page dedicated to error messages?

"These Pokémon are very unpopular. I wonder how we can make them marketable?"
 
i really like how out of the three z-a starters, only the tepig line is dualtype. i mean i fucking love totodile, but it irks me that it's monotype water. like it was gen 2 that introduced the concept of dualtypes, yet none of its starters took advantage of that. totodile should be water/dark, cyndaquil should be, idk, fire/normal?, and chikorita should be grass/poison (i'd prefer grass/fairy, but fairy type didn't exist yet).

i wonder if they'll do something different with their final evolutions in z-a like they did with legends arceus. it did fix the monotype issue with typhlosion by making it fire/ghost, so it's possible meganium could actually be usable for once if they change up its typing.

in other, more important, news, i managed to catch two shiny yellow florges and four shiny lapras. please clap.

initially dualtypes weren't a thing until gen2. gen1 pokemon were then retroactively given dualtypes, hence fire/flying charizard and grass/poison venusaur

edit: WAIT, i misremembered, but there's a reason for it: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dual-type_damage_misinformation

and a related plebbit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/189hi37/gen_1_dual_types/

It might also be because there were several dual types in Gen 1 that there were several repeats of so there's less "identity" attached to some second typings. There's 9 different grass/poison type pokemon- all from 3 different triple evo lines, no less. Not to mention 6 rock/ground types, 3 water/ice types, 3 water/psychic types and let's not get in to naming normal/flying types. So maybe it kinda diluted their presence whereas something like Charizard or the Gastly line had more unique typings that were easier to identify

Honestly I had the opposite problem. I used to swear up and down that Tangela was grass/poison as well just because it's so unfathomable to think that it's the only mono-grass type in Gen 1

A few years ago my best friend and I were on a Pokemon kick, and we went back and played some of the older games. I was playing LeafGreen and I let him borrow Blue to play. We played a lot at work since we worked together and had a lot of free time while working at night.

One day he mentions how it's weird playing the original games since all the Pokemon only have one type. I think he's crazy and tell him dual-type Pokemon have always existed. I did not remember Red and Blue Pokemon only being single-type. Well, he's playing Blue right there, so he shows me. And he's right. He shows me his Charizard; it's only Fire, no Flying. He shows me his Zapdos; it's Electric, no Flying. And so on. He proved it to me further by using Thunderbolt on the Charizard you fight in the Elite Four. It was not super-effective. Charizard was not a flying type.

I was shocked that I had never realized this. I did some googling and found that the original games only had single types, but dual-types were introduced in Gen 2 (Gold/Silver) and many of the Gen 1 type Pokemon were updated in that game and subsequent games to have two types. He was right.

Yesterday I saw a Reddit comment asking if dual-types existed originally, as he didn't think they did. I replied, telling him that they didn't in the original games, but Gen 1 was updated in later games to have dual-types. I was downvoted, but one guy replied saying he remembered it as I did.

Since I was downvoted, I figured people just don't remember it correctly, so I tried googling it, but found nothing on the topic. I asked on r/pokemon and was basically called an idiot by everyone and told dual-types have always existed. I decided to look up a Pokedex guide on Gamefaqs for Blue, and it indeed listed them as dual-types.

However, I, as well as two other redditors, seem to remember dual-types originally not existing. Maybe there are others who remember this as well.
