this last story was absolutely amazing! it wasnt until we reached Crater Zero that i began suspecting that something was very wrong, but i thought it was some secret villain that was trying to masquerade as the professor...when i read AI Sada/Turo claiming that the real professor died a long time ago when one of the research stations collapsed, i just sat in shock and my heart broke for Arven
This story's great and all, but can the DLC not revolve around giving Arven endless trauma 💀 I love his story but gahd dayum did they give him a rough time, I feel bad for him
I want to know why Cyclizar of the past, and future, are Legendary but the present time are not. And why there isn't a mechanic for making a Cyclizar you catch your ride-on.
@@ghosty4 simple, pokemon back then and in the future are just way stronger than in the present. Koraidon and Miraidon are just the strongest ones that got pulled through. And having a cyclizar as a ridable is kinda redundant. If you met the legendaries later, I could see it. But with how the story is, there really isn't a reason to ride a downgrade.
I think its gonna be about the third legendary But i kinda would like a sequel game that tells the Story about it and also we could have the other characters get Focus too
It has begun! Been waiting for you to do reaction compliations on Scarlet/Violet. I can think of no better way to start than with one of the biggest plot twists in pokemon history followed by the start to an amazing final battle on par with Cynthia, N/Ghetsis, and Volo. Say what you want about the game, but you have to admit that going through Area Zero for the first time is jaw-dropping. Can't wait to see more.
My reaction to Turo saying that he is an AI: Yeah, kinda figured it out along the way, my guy. Also AI Turo: The real professor passed away. Me: I beg your fucking pardon?!?! He what?!
I finished this game at like 1 in the morning I’ve never been in such utter disbelief during a video game ever. I LITERALLY SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS. Whoever thought of this twist deserves a promotion because this can’t be topped.
Say S/V are bad all you want. The story was fantastic. An actual twist ending where your game's professor DIED?????????????? Thats phenomenal story telling
Especially knowing its the actual professor who is doing it, the last memories of the real professor seeping through even beyond the grave IT HITS HARD KNOWING JUST HOW FAR THE REAL PROFESSOR WOULD GO
in case anyone missed it In the cutscene battle where the "You are challenged by AI Sada" becomes "You are challenged by the Paradise Protection Protocol" In the glitch effects between, where the gibberish is, there is like 1 frame, a split second, where it says "AI Sada has no intention to battle" Really nice touch
@@kaiservonpanzer213 You can think whatever you want of gamefreak but credit where it’s due, it’s un fair to credit other people for the work and effort other people made
@@Didaggwell it’s not necessarily clear cut, if they hired him they probably like his work. Game Freak has been trying to please fans more in Arceus and the rest of ScarVio by incorporating more inspiration from other successful franchises. To me the final parts of the game definitely have some Undertale, some Nier, some Persona, and some old-school RPG influences. It’s not like the rest of the staff didn’t play all that
This is one of the darkest Pokemon bosses ever. A long dead professor so engrossed in their work that it leads them to neglect their child. Their child finds them again only to see a robot wearing their parent's face. Make no mention that the very robot is trying to kill him and his friends to fulfill the goal that it's creator, the professor themself, programed the robot to achieve, condemning even the very ecosystem so their dreams would be met. And the robot wants nothing to do with it but is being forced to carry it out. I genuinely wonder if Toby Fox didn't just work on the music but Sada/Turo's character, because this seems like his ballpark.
I *love* how they had an interface screw.. also enjoy "initiated the battle" instead of just "challenged you to a battle" like.. just.. the small things go a long way..
Just learned this, and have to share it. Ok, so Arven mentions right before jumping into the Great Crater that the professor is 'railroading' them. The group consists of four people. All the way back in Red and Blue, if you check the TV in your room, the description mentions a film about four friends travelling down railroad tracks. This is a reference to the film Stand By Me. And what is it that the characters are searching for in that movie? A dead body.
@@a.x.x8184 did you miss the part where they wanted to bring the past/future Paradox mons to the present and destroy the ecosystems of the region? To quote the AI Turo but it's effectively the same for Scarlet: 'The original professor had a dream...of a world in which future Pokémon might live alongside present-day Pokémon in harmony. But these Pokémon have gained a strange power due to their adaptations in the distant future...and this power has proved too terrible. Their very existence brings destruction to the ecological balance of this current age. The original professor would say that such destruction is a natural part of life.'
@@a.x.x8184I mean I think child neglect makes you a villain already but they were also perfectly comfortable with letting the paradox mons loose and absolutely destroying the ecosystem (and likely posing an extreme danger to human lives as well, given what happened to the original prof and how hostile the paradox mons are in general), so like. Very villain, you know?
it's a huge overstatement to call them villains, especially when they literally wanted the paradoxes to live in harmony with ppl 💀 they didn't even get out of area zero by the time we get there. their intentions weren't evil, dgmw they let their work consume them so badly they neglected arven which is terrible as all hell but they are not in the same category as pokemon villains
I have a strange realization: AI Sada is neutral to you, the protection protocol is not. Knowing how AI learn overtime, that means the professor- way back from the start, was very aggressive about completing her research- since the Protection Protocol is an old build. Which also explains why Arven is a bit annoyed whenever someone addresses that his mother's the professor. *Dude. That's actually great storytelling.*
@Laura Berdugo Whenever anyone mentions to Arven that Sada/Turo is the Professor (aka their occupation), he gets annoyed because they're so head deep in their research that they've neglected their son's needs.
It's a really refreshing twist on usual AI tropes. Usually, you have the AI going to any means to achieve the goal it was programmed for, with the creator trying to stop it, here you have the long-dead creator being obsessed with their goal in spite of knowing perfectly well that it won't work out and will just destroy the ecosystem, while the AI fails to see the logic behind it and instead decides to defy their creator's wishes. Ironically, it works so much better than usual AI tropes: AIs, even sentient ones, are inherently beings of logic, so logically concluding that there was literally nothing good that could come of the original's goals makes sense, while obsession causing you to do bad things is a very human trait, so Sada/Turo downplaying and rationalizing the bad things that would come of their actions as just being part of life makes sense. It also doesn't completely throw the original Sada/Turo under the bus, because the AI acknowledges that they did genuinely love Arven and the fact that they decide to work against the original professor despite being programmed to think like them shows that the professor was a good person who was just too obsessed with their goal. It's likely that if they had survived their injuries, they would have realized how f*cked up what they were doing was and shut it down.
@@Missingno_Mineri dunno. The way the one book describes that their spouse left them seems so...bitter and annoyed. I think ai turo/sada just said that they truly loved him because the alternative would hurt him even more than this whole situation already did. "That boy" gives the impression they got saddled with unwanted baggage in the form of arven and seemed outright _indignant_ that their spouse left, like how _dare_ they had the audacity to leave. The spouse didn't even take arven with them either... it just sounds like neither of them were good people. They were smart people left with unchecked obsession in their field of interest--leaving someone like that presumably alone in area zero eventually made them go mad. Humans by nature are not logical, but the fact the ai still couldn't understand the professor despite what they knew, it just always felt like they really went off the deep end and the ai was the one who was "sane".
@@ShadowSkyX The professor's books scattered throughout Area Zero talk about their goals. Their motivation is, at least in part, to create an environment where "we three"(most likely referring to themself, Arven, and the first bike lizard) could thrive. At least in part, their motivation was to provide for Arven, but naturally their obsession blinded them to the harm their absence was doing.
So many of us rush through the games to get into the competitive grind… But this game was different in that it had such an innocent and wholesome story with some truly deep and dark undertones. The adult me who still enjoys competitive Pokémon got to experience the feeling I got playing Pokémon red at the age of 6 all over again. I did not expect to be so happy with this game and I’m looking forward to the DLC for more than just new mons. I need to know what happens next, the lore component and environmental story telling is getting better with each new Pokémon game.
@@TS-uu4hp Yea. I'm looking forward to DLC because there's so much story and questions left unanswered. We solved the current problem, but we still don't know much about how it because possible with the crystals and how the 3rd legendary is connected. This DLC is gonna be so different from SWSH with actual story continuation. (I hope) So I'm excited.
@@thiccqiyanaenjoyer1099 Wolfey is a professional Pokémon player and a World Champion. His channel is largely devoted to competitive advice and using the interplay between types, abilities, held items, terrain, weather, and Pokémon. He's also incredibly cynical about the story of the games, because it's really been formulaic lately.
Wolfey’s reaction is the most relatable for me. Fighting through Sada’s team, seeing the name “Roaring Moon”, not knowing what that is, and watching her toss the Master Ball to reveal a freaking SALAMENCE has got to be one of the scariest experiences. Iron Valiant is cool, but a past version of a pseudo-legendary just hits different.
@@MegaShepardsPie On another note. Cyclizar is barely a pseudo legend and it follows that koraidon and miraidon aren't legendaries either. Maybe the pokedex calls them legendary but it doesn't matter.
I had no problems with the violet version boss fight, then again I did actually have the Ice Dark legendary that lowers the opponent's defense on my team. I honestly had a harder time fighting the electric gym in the game which I also have to honestly say that I respect their choice of pokemon that they Terastallize because they turn a pokemon with the ability levitate into a pure electric type eliminating the ground weakness which is something that I would do.
These are gold and I can relate. Seriously the ending blew me away. Not only were they willing to admit, very plainly, that the professor died, but the fight that came after, the music, the cutscenes, all of it was so cool!!!!!! Ahg, this is def up there with Volo/giratina for my fav pokemon moment.
I was totally sure Turo went to the future and that's why the communication was so glitchy. I was shocked and devastated when I found out he's dead! The fact we find out the truth before Arven as well... Never thought a Pokemon game could make me cry at the end, this was a wild game!
@@RoseOfNight It's a fascinating deviation that actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. A machine has a different, more objective thought process than a human does. The AI may have inherited the memories of the professor, but their thought process would naturally cause them to interpret those memories differently than their human counterpart, developing a unique sense of morality with different priorities. Weighing personal sentiments over ethical dilemmas isn't logical, so the AI simply… didn't. Such a great character.
I love how everyone collectively goes silent once they hear that the professor is dead because its SO UNEXPECTED. Also, "Please. Defeat me." Is one of the hardest lines ive ever heard in a video game, its so hype
Before the DLC Scarlet/Violet is probably the only story where every rival and antagonist genuinely wanted you to defeat them, instead of them prevailing against you Cassiopeia (Penny) wanted you to end Team Star, while the principal is more than happy to see your journey come to fruition; Nemona is happy she is no longer lonely at the top now that there's someone better than her; Arven wanted a companion that could help him through the trip. Hell, the very AI who is the final boss eagerly wished you to defeat them and put an end to the professor's twisted dream.
Facing AI Turo for the first time, while knowing nothing about the game's ending is a memory I will cherish for quite some time. I don't care how unfinished the game was, not only did I have a lot of fun, everything that happened after you finish the 3 main storylines, aka the endgame is peak videogame experience.
ABSOLUTELY. i fought hard to not get spoiled. ai turos fight is my favourite fight to ever participate in, sent proper chills down my spine when it happened
@@RachelXKnight666 I mean, the whole robot thing was heavily foreshadowed Spoilers The big reveal was the reasoning behind everything, who was the real culprit and was the AI motivation for doing what it did, it was very clever to turn the formula upside down like that and the battle felt very epic
My favorite part of this game was watching my younger brother try and figure out that he needed to use his Koridon. He tried battling and running, and then said "Oh yeah" and tried to use a pokedoll. Professor Clavell's words echoed in his mind saying "This isn't the time for that." and we both burst out laughing.
honestly, this is one of the few games i would put under the cateogry of "games i want to experience for the first time again"...the story and especially the finale is just...perfect.
My reaction: "I am an AI created by the professor with her memories and thoughts." Yeah, cool twist, but I kinda figured "The real professor passed away." OK BUT NOT THAT!
Please don’t hesitate to make another one of these! Like many people, I thought Turo had gone to the future (I played Violet), and had not seen this coming AT ALL. I’d been warned about the ending, but to have an actual confirmed death in Pokémon was shocking. No matter what people may say about this game, the music, atmosphere, and story for this part of the game was incredible. Kudos to Game Freak for actually having a legit plot twist and not being afraid to go dark with it.
I'm glad someone is actually sane. I have seen so many people just shitting on the game obsessively, when it's a fucking phenomenal game that has a couple issues that are getting patched out
@@bradleybarnett1469 Ok, the performance of the game is inexcusable. You can't even defend how much the game lags at times or the numerous bugs it had. But yes, those hating on the story and/or gameplay is just a brainless shitter. This gen has arguably the best story in any pokemon game, and the gameplay is just so damn fun. I will defend the story and the gameplay, but I won't defend the performance. But these are still amazing games and I will replay them over and over.
@@vgmaster02 I love it when visual glitches happen honestly. It’s hilarious that when Pokémon evolve they can be out of bounds or you can just fall through the floor.
The biggest twist was that the real "villain" is just dead before the game and we have to stop what they made. Everyone pausing when they realize the professor is just straight up dead (and thus leaving Arven an orphan) is heartbreaking Also between legends and SV, pokemon has been killing it with the final showdowns
It worse cause canonical his dad and mom are still the same so his other parent was just so fed up that they straight up abandoned him. While the other went crazy
I always found it so chilling that the Master Ball from the portal was still shaking. That Pokemon just got kidnapped out of its time and is still fighting against it. With that tragic music over it. Damn.
something fun to note about these two: Sada is right-handed, and Turo is left-handed. Sada’s eyes flash red during the robot reveal, and Turo’s flash blue. and of course, they are both of Arven’s parents. they mirror one another pretty well.
Also the background when the Paradise Protection Protocol is activated changes color depending on the version! I thought that was a fun touch when I watched a Scarlet playthrough for the first time
This ending was just.....wow say what you want about the rest of this game but the story is quite possibly one of the best in the series up there with the greatness of the black and white saga. I remember being completely caught off guard with a confirmed human death in the pokemon series. Poor Arven too, this ending was just a masterpiece.
When I got to area zero I'd originally thought the professor was either being possessed, or was a fake within the area zero lab that wanted to escape as they acted very weird the entire time; But this was a twist I never expected. And not only that, but even the AI finds the original professor's plans abhorrent and wants you to stop them from effectively ruining the world.
I love how everyone was collectively upset by the reveal of the Professor having passed away; it really felt like we were all going through the stages of grief in a matter of minutes. Gamefreak blew this one out of the water in terms of storytelling, like, I know myself and many others are never going to recover from the shock of the big twist! I'm excited to see what we'll get in the future because even if this company never truly catches up with graphical expectations they sure as hell *do* care about their IP and it really showed with S/V + Legends Arceus especially. Not only in the writing, but in the way they've put so much care into every Pokemon included within the game. They all have their own dex-accurate quirks and I just think it's all extremely charming. I've been playing Pokemon since Blue/Red, now as a person in my 30s I'm truly grateful by how long we've got to be on this journey with Pokemon and that it just continues to get better. I'll never forget the first time I saw the animations and colors in Pokemon Crystal thinking it was so cool and immersive. That's the moment I became truly attached to the games and it's going to stay that way until I no longer exist physically on this planet. Well done and thank you, Gamefreak.
Been hoping you would do this. I loved this twist. Went in expecting the professor to be the villian, never expected them to be dead. Such a cool final battle though.
I'm genuinely shocked. I figured the professors went to the past/future respectfully and we're stuck, BUT THIS, MY GOD POKEMON REALLY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND HERE.
comparing these two professors, I would say I prefer Turo more. Sada has the best design but after seeing her in action she needed more to make it feel better. Turo on the other hand has mannerisms and design changes that make you feel that he is out of control, his hair flaring up and his outfit actually fitting in with the background. Though I love both of these professors AI, I felt like Scarlet's professor was poorly implemented.
AI Sada is not as concerned with her appearance, much less as she lost the will to keep on doing the professor's work... but Sada has great fashion sense for being cavewoman-y.
I agree but I prefer Sada. Since she gives up the maternal role for her research, it feels like the story hits A LOT harder in scarlet. Honestly having a mad scientist that also happens to be a single mother is crazy as hell and outweighs Turo by a longshot for me, even though he looks so much more intent and menacing overall in the ending. (Then again it could also be because I was spoiler-free watching TyranitarTube play Scarlet lol)
They have different approaches, and I like both. AI Sada is calm, and moves smoother than AI Turo; she also doesn't let her eyes blink to show she's an AI. It only really becomes apparent that she really is a robot when the defense system kicks in and she moves twitchily. But her smooth, calm movements and soft, subtle expressions feel more like a woman; so when that warm expression as she asks you to stop her is replaced by the cold, arrogant disdain and detachment of the defense system, it's jarring. I shuddered when I saw it; it was really effective. At the same time, AI Turo is a bit more open physically about his status as a robot. He moves a bit more mechanically; his mouth and jaw movements are exaggerated, his broader shoulders seem boxier as he turns, and the lights blinking in his eyes are a "woah" moment. He's right in your face that he's a robot from the start, and is more expressive. And when the defense system takes over, the cruel, sinister smirk on his face was unnerving. His expressions of antagonism are more inherently masculine and overt than Sada's, making it feel more aggressive and evokes more stark fear than the dread of Sada's coldness. They're incredibly different approaches, using nearly the same dialogue; it's genius story telling.
7:06 I'm wondering what he's talking about. Arven is in his late teens, he has no memories of his parent playing with him as a child, the event that killed his parent happened 4 years prior. He was still neglected.
i was kinda bullying turo during the story since i thought he just left his son due to super passionate research so you guess how much this dropped my jaw and one thing i like is that arven actually looks like a child of two professors. something that bugged me is that lillie's family has the same genes for some reason. arven sorta looks like he's a mix of both professors like how actual children work
Look at the books in the research stations, it kinda hints that Sada/Turo is Arven's other deadbeat parent who walked out of his life when he was born.
Scarlet and Violet could have been better in some ways, but they absolutely nailed it on the story. I went in having looked at the new mons but staying unspoiled on the story and I'm glad I did that because _damn._ I remember going down through Area Zero, I was thinking there was an AI, but like, one that was imprisoning Sada in the Zero Lab, like it had gone rogue or something, and that that's why her transmission in the third research station glitched out like that, and that we'd have to rescue her. Learning she was dead, I didn't see it coming at all. Absolutely insane. And I still get into it with the final battle even now that I know it's basically a big interactive cutscene- it's still damn awesome! Most attachment I ever felt to boxart legendaries in my life. Even if the games themselves have more than a few technical hiccups, the handling of the story alone I think cements them a place among the greats of this franchise.
TTar's playthroughs are amazing. The combination of him always beeing so invested in the lore/story (trying to explore everything, taking his time to look at ingame bookshelfs to read the books, trying to read in between the lines of anything a character says, sharing his thoughts and theories of what happened or could happen) + his reactions and things like 6:39. It's just so fun to watch him - love this guy
Yeah, you can tell he's having fun and loves exploring. The investment is great. Plus, he's the madman who would rush into a lvl 80 fight with 1 lvl 70 and a team of lvl 60s, so I respect him a lot
My theory was very odd. I neither saw the old journal pages nor made any theories before the fourth outpost. I thought, based on what AI Turo said about humans being unable to live through time travel, and the glitchy voice he had at the fourth outpost, that Turo had turned himself into a cybernetically-augmented being to easily travel through time and survive.
When he said humans could survive the trip one way but not returning, I fully thought he had jumped to the future in a bout of selfishness (which seems to be a semi-common theory). I like yours a lot better lol
This is probably one of the best boss fights with banger music since B2W2. The ending of the game is soooooo good. This excludes Legends as that game is different but still has banger music and an amazing boss
The ending felt like the a movie. So many parts of it were awesome it actually gave me chills. Worst part is this game deserved to be voice acted. Let's hope for the next one!..
It's not the exact same but I think Juno Songs' lyrics version of the battle theme scratches that itch pretty well for me since some lines are voice acted in between the singing, the voice they chose for the "An obstacle is preventing the time machine from working as intended. Activating Paradise Protection Protocol to remove the offending obstacle... Locking all Poke Balls not registered to [Turo/Sada]'s ID. Program initializing... Gathering Terastal energy..." part is SO good
Dude… this is such a power move for the franchise to make the PROFESSOR of all people the real antagonist. The story writers deserve a raise cause I was absolutely not expecting this ever. Definitely one of the darkest Pokémon stories.
It's interesting that when Sada and Turo have their eyes blinking, at the part explaining who and what they are, the lights are of different colors. Sada is red and Turo is blue, just an interesting attention to detail I saw
You know a fight is gonna rule when the first thing an opponent brings out is one of Volcarona's paradox forms. Considering how terrifyingly powerful Volcarona is as well as champions long ago used it as their ace, along with the fact these variants are even stronger, it is intimidating as hell. Slither Wing and Iron Moth are my fav gen 9 mons hands down.
I love Slither Wing's shiny too, if I'm being completely honest I've never been the biggest fan of Volcarona's shiny but I feel like that color palette works so well on Slither wing, I'm kind of jealous as a Violet player, we just got stuck with chrome everything
I myself actually adore the chrome future Paradoxes lol, I have them all except for Hands, Thorns, and Moth. Odd thing about Scarlet, there was a big with Flutter Mane where if you used a Ghost shiny sandwich, you would have no Pokemon spawn in the bottom of AZ except for shiny Flutters. They patched it lmao. If possible, I would shiny hunt another Slither for you for one of the 3 I'm missing xd
I went Into this game mostly blind, I saw all the leaked pokemon and planned out my team, and I eventully got impatiant and watched some playthroughs of it, But no further that right after we get our bike. I went with violet, because I thought Miraidon looked cooler. Going in I expected to do stupid side quests for people who didn't want to do it themselves. And I expected the story to be okay, I guess. Didn't really follow SWSH's story very well, And PLA's was good but not breath taking, I expected nothing too crazy. Everything I just wrote was disproven a few hours in the game. After one shoting Bombirdier with a Pawmot that only knew thunder shock, and seeing Arvens true intentions were, I almost f*cking cried, no joke, this is almost making me cry again writing this, it hurt THAT much. Then starfall was starfall street was next, it didn't make me as emotional, it did make me feel soft inside. Team star is just one big friend group that got out of hand and their founder is willing to declar war on our behalf just to protect her friends. Also, I, like many others figured Cassiopiea was the big boss, and after penny mentioned she was a good hacker, put the peices together. Also of topic a bit, I GENUINLY didn't see through Clavell's disquise untill the option "Director Clavell?" came up, which was so funny I went with it the entire game. Anyways, Victory Road... I found out Nemona is a combantion of Goku and Monkia. Thats it. The Gym leaders were funny I guess. Larry gave a good suprise in the E4. Okay, now for the reason I decided to write this comment, I figured The professors would be evil, that was a given, they were revealed early on with no additional info given on them, which is exactly how chairman rose was reavelead, and look what happened there. What I did NOT expect at all is was the fact that they BUILT A TIME MACHINE, BUILT AN AI OF THEMSLEVES, AND GOT MURDERED BY A F*CKING DRAGON. Nor did I expect the fully sentient and aware AI to be the one in the right, as media has left quite the steriotype. And seeing Arven's issues with his parents at the end of the final titan (Which I forgot to metion earlier whoops) him wittnessing what looks and sounds like his parents (which he dosen't know are dead at this point btw) vanish into thin air never to be seen again, was heartbreaking, but at the end of they day, he still has his greatest treasure... friendship. and after that whole emotianal rollercoster of bulled kids, Mommy/Daddy issues, and what could be called pokemons first yandere, one thought came to my mind... ... .... ...... "The angst writers are going to have fun with this."
I figured out the "Cassiopiea is the leader of Team Star" twist on my own, but ended up getting the "Penny is Cassiopiea" twist spoiled to me by a Tumblr roleplay blog of all things
See here many are lamenting to what happened to the professors and the effect it has on poor Arven.... then look upon the immediate reactions of an overwehmlingly awesome bop as they battle. Such is the vibes you get from one of the greatest Pokemon scenes I've seen in a long while!
I love small details like how the AIs’ faces look when challenged. AI sada keeps her face still, which sorta is like a wild predator preparing to pounce. AI Turo outwardly has an aggressive face which sort of gives of an aggressive robot with no remorse.
Volo's betrayal and the eventual battle with Arceus: *best plot twist and toughest Legendary hit harder than a fucking truck* AI Sada and AI Turo: *we're both dead, are the only known evil Professors in the series, and would probably make Volo seem like a fucking peasant.*
That's because it was a legit 6 v 8. Wish the prof. just kept bringing in pokemon, no limit, until a certain amount of moves, after which your friends would join you for a multi battle and one of them(probably Penny, being the worst battler in the group and the hacker) sneaks around to disable/block/disrupt stuff. The main objective to win could've just been surviving a set no. of turns
@@TechnoArpan that's exactly what I thought as well by using the time machine the professor could of kept sending out more and more Pokémon to battle you would of win cause we only have 6 Pokémon but in reality the AI has infinite amount.
I didn’t expect this level of depth in these games, but the ending was a roller coaster of emotions. The battle theme, the ai forewarning you of the battle and hoping you beat them, the Arven closure cutscene, all kinds of shit. This was legit one of the best games of 2022.
“What the heck is Roaring Moon? Possibility of winning zero? I have a full team still, what could you have that could possibly- OH SHIT it’s a Salamance, I’m in danger!”
going into this fight blind was an experience i wish i could relive a second time, i was playing violet so my shock in seeing the future paradoxes and being confused on their type combinations was by far the greatest experience i had playing a pokemon game ever
