Could Arven Actually Become Champion? 

I was gonna have an affiliate link for these games, but since they are still super buggy, here is one for Legends Arceus: howl.me/ciXfjc3yYAN

The fact that each base is named after a main star of the Cassiopeia constellation is such a stroke of genius

Now comes the true test: Can Arven defeat...Chef Gordon Ramsey in a Sandwich Battle?

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.

Would be funny if there was a "Can You Beat Pokemon Sword/Shield as Penny". Also nice video

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'.

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 😅

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.

Excited to see how our beloved sandwich master can become a Pokémon master!!! :D

Actually, I love Arven. He's actually a better rival than Nemona, He's charming and supportive, also BRO, and He can cook. My type ^^ and I can really understand his motive and backstory too. It sucks to lose your family (making you an orphan) and almost lose a pokemon you held dear to and risk your life to bring them back to health, that's some Dedication!

Before watching, I say yes. Arven remains the only trainer in the game to wipe my whole team. That second battle at the lighthouse really caught me off guard.

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.

ah, the sacred and cursed mud-slap strategy that I used with my sudowoodo to help take out iono’s bellibolt on short notice 😅

The fact that the AI normally not craftable under human technological constraints was built by Sada/Turo makes a lot more sense if you read into the extra lore of the game. Sada/Turo were able to build the AI with the help of subliminal instructions from the third legendary.

Arven should've been the Elite four champion, literally the toughest fight I've had after completing all 3 main storylines.

Canonically Arven & also Penny, have become champions, is in a book in the school library

You’re wildin! Professor writing was awesome!

still can´t get over the fact how incredibly goofy some animations in this game look... especially the Bombierdier just doing a vinyl record spin on the spot while flying to headbutt the nearest stone wall... it´s just... top quality

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. The DISTANT PAST doing the same thing requires some much bigger leaps. I was Hoping sada would have been like a literal, fleshy clone, and have more Jurassic Park vibes than Terminator, but oh well

I think it makes perfect sense for the friendship mechanic to kick in. Arven has a good relationship with all of his Pokémon so it makes sense they'd tough it out for him.

yeesh I get the whole Sada wasn't well "written" like you think, but this was way better than the last few stories we've gotten

"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.

If you decide to do a Nemona run of this. I beg that u give her a Paldean Tauros. We see her use it in the opening cutscene so who knows

It seems as tho they designed the story and lore to fit Pokemon violet first. I didn't know anything about the scarlet story line bc I only played violet but learning that Sada is also just an AI kinda sucks. I guess it'd be hard to figure out a different way for the "she died years ago but needed a way to come back" mechanic without a robot recreation. But violet made a lot more sense in that regard bc turo used future technology to create the AI an robot. Violet just seems to fit a lot better with the games story

And the protagonist of Fire Emblem Engage. I'm dead 😂😂😂

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

Hop/Hau:Who are you? Arven:I'm you but actually likable and relatable.

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

Him and Penny have gotta be the best characters Edit: Also is it just me who thinks Eri was easy?

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.

Really great playthrough. I don’t care what you say, nothing that you could tell me could convince me that the Paradise Protection Protocol is a worse antagonist than Chairman Rose. The man who almost blew up an entire country and endangered the world cause he couldn’t wait *A DAY* when he had a deadline of *1000 YEARS*

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.

Fun fact: when AI Turo/Sada rematches you as the Paradise Protection Protocol, you can see "AI Turo/Sada doesn't want to fight anymore" mixed in with the glotched text. This implies that they were being forced to battle you

0:05 Finally, someone made the Penny/Ms. Colgate connection

This is my first video from you, honestly a fun one. I also think it’s funny that you like low key sound like Jason Mendoza from The Good Place and I absolutely love that show

I’m so excited to see you back! And doing a run as the best (in my opinion) route partner in the game!

Arven is such a Goat

oh boy do more of like last of who actually become champinon ???? PLEASE I LOVE IT

I really liked the titans quests, partly because it was Arven who asked for it. No professors or organisations this time, just a friend asking to help him out. That made the whole thing so relatable, also because you’re doing it together. Not like: hey, can you go out and do this, then report back to me?

Area Zero sure is a mystery, that's for sure.

YOUR AWESOME VASCO KEEP UP THE GREATES WORK THAT I'VE EVER SEEEEEEN!

Thanks for the amazing video.

Great video as always, and I hope you enjoy making more in the future. But I have to ask: what type of interdimensional story(if there is any this time) are you planning to do for this game? I mean there are lots of options you can do with the characters and how time travel is involved.

I would honestly love to see you do a run as penny. Sure its just eeveelutions, but it would be cool to see how she would get through this game with that team.

most fitting video...since Arvin really is the main character...but I have disagree with your issues with the ending.... but hey can't all agree with stuff!

Nemona should be updated, she was supposed a post-game battle at the top of the school where her team is absolutely overpowered All level 85 all have items and the best abilities all can set up on you and sweep you all different tera types it is a deleted team but this is what it is Stealth rocking/earthquaking, rough helmet, rough skin, tera steel, garchomp flower tricking, expert belt, protean, tera fairy, meoscarwada aqua stepping, life orb, moxie, tera electric, quaquval torch singing, choice scarf, unaware, tera ice, skeliderge rage fisting, leftover, defiant, tera steel, annhilape and just when you think you're done she brings out a tera flying pawmot with a focus sash and volt absorb and a revival blessing so she can bring back her annihilape WHICH KEEPS IT'S RAGE FIST BOOST.

Playing as Arven would be cool!

"The writing for this game's supervillain is somehow worse than Rose." That's some major cap right there. Great video though, pretty entertaining

Been waiting for this!

I can't wait for Arven in Pokémon Masters (especially to hear his voice for the first time)

I can't believe he couldn't beat Ari but beat the final boss

I prefer arven also I thought of this idea to:This series is honestly really cool

Ayo you should do Nemona next!! There's a lot of cool ways to go with her

All I want to see is the season 2 of the animation!

I know only the basics of machine learning and even I knew the AI Sada made no sense 😂 look forward to seeing the dedicated video to learn more!

Mom can we get arven We have arven at home Arven at home:

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❤

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.

"He's not related to Hop, is he?" Don't you DARE diss my boy, Hop!

Him, talking about things being names of stars in the Cassiopeia Constellation and me at first being interested me then about halfway through the video, please stop this it’s pain

Arven is actually stacked. He'd have some trouble, but failure is out of the question.

I’ve found that in the water, Pokemon that float will actually do things with the Let’s Go feature. Like my dragapult and elektross work just fine.

I subscribed purely for that Luxio pun. That was gold! XD

Hi Vasko! Ive been watching your Pokémon videos! Ive been subbed before 100k! Congrats on the 100k Vasko

8:04 I disagree, I like the jumping upgrade. Simple as that. In my opinion the gliding one is the most disappointing unless you can pull off the glitch where you go really fast and practically fly around the whole region in seconds.

Arven: Pokemon centres couldn’t heal Mabosstiff Well maybe if they had a actual hospital instead of a gas station it could work

Yes knew there would be one about arven

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…

Imagine if you had your dog poisoned throughout the entire game to represent it dying

For Arven, Penny, and Nemona I don't mind the affection mechanic. Especially for Arven. Since he is literally going on a continent wide quest out of dedication for his best friend.

The true Pokémon Master is BACKKKKKKKKKK

The Let's Go feature in water only really works with a pokemon that can swim. Otherwise, they'll just follow you. Shelldor would have been fine for this, funny enough.

For getting shellder early on, you can hold ZL until the shellder you see eventually swims close to you. (You will see it say like “Lvl. 20, ???”)

Finally you made another vid

lovely, i hope to see if penny can beat the game next

Since you did this challenge before Home was out, a solution to the Shelder issue would have been to get someone to trade you a pair of Shelders to breed one.

I was today hours into playing the game when I learned about the team star name sceme. thats super neat, i like team star a little more now

BUT ARVENS REACTION AND JUST THE OVERALL SCENE AFTER THE FALSE DRAGON TITAN IS SO HEARTWARMING YET HEARTBREAKING AT THE SAME TIME ITS SO CUTE BUT SO SAD!!!!!!

Are you planning to do another overarching story like in your Galar videos? That was super cool, though it looked like a lot of work went into it so it makes sense if you wanted a break from all that haha

My boy Arven needs a happy ending in the DLC and some therapy

I mean, pokemon that can swim can use lets go feature in the water. All the eevelutions, too.

The series is back

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.

Awesome

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

Yeah... Let's go is kinda useless in water, unless you got pokemon capable of moving in water. 9:50 🤣 19:40 ...Yeah... If I understood what game was describing what happened - "Incident" likely happened maybe 1-2 hours before you left your home in game.

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 was not expecting a Car Quest reference. Surprisingly charming game, especially for the $1 I got it for

Mom is the sandwich master

The Eri fight is brutal. I had to use a feather dance oricorio, super gimmicky but it works.

LETS GOOOOOO !

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.

Let’s go!

having two arvens is just like a confusing thing for me

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.

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.

To truly be Arven you should've taken all the cooking classes

Arven is better than the main character EVERY SINGLE PLAYTHROUGH!!! (Edit)In my opinion.

Arven is best boy in this game, confirmed.
