I have mild to severe Deuteranomaly (red-green) colorblindness and there are some shinies I physically cannot see the difference of. It's hard to describe it to people especially for shinies because they go "well yeah they are super similar." To those of us that can't see it, it's not just similar they look LITERALLY the same! PLA was awesome because there were several times where I caught shinies I would have totally missed.
At the very least, your pokemon will refuse to auto battle shinies, so you can use that as an identifier instead of initiating battle every time. This really only works if you're using auto battle (in swarms or while grinding), but unfortunately it doesn't help if a shiny spawns while you're just traveling through an area.
Some shinies it is hard enough to tell apart even if you can see without any handicaps. Hopefully they'll do something eventually to help spot them in the open world
I'm actively researching some things that may make it easier for colorblind people with some colorblind people. If I come up with anything, I'll update you all here :)
I really hate how they took out the bling bling for shiny Pokémon... I constantly stress over missing shiny Pokémon... but being a colorblind and literally not seeing a difference is 10x more terrifying... You may have passed by 10 shinies in your first playthrough and not even noticed
I'm probably in a small group of trainers who are legally blind. So rather than having issues with specific colours I have difficulty with seeing everything. The auditory que from PLA was a godsend for an openworld game. I have found shinys in this game all from just walking around and as much fun as I'm having with the game it's very stressful for me passing pokemon trying to look at them really close hoping I don't miss a shiny. Why are so many of the pokemon so small? I wish the noise was at least in the options. It would really help us visually impaired folk.
My aunt that lives with me is legally blind and she loves to do word search puzzles and read. Most people think it is odd that her hobbies include things like that but she can see them well enough to enjoy them and they make her happy. Just wanted to comment on this because it's not that frequent you come across someone that knows someone who is or is legally blind themselves.
Can we have more of Austin just talking about random stuff? Idk but it felt really nice to listen to him talk about stuff, and then kinda get involved more and more in it like the colorblind stuff.
And the fact that there are so many of those shinies who are difficult to identify. I got 2 shinies in start of the game (lechonk and psyduck) but then never got 3rd until trying hard in outbreaks. I just wonder,how many shinies I missed in the wild.
and the fact that some people can be either distracted a lot, or are unable to pay attention to every single pokemon. there are times where my attention span can tank heavily.
Even without color blindness a lot of shinies don't change enough to be instantly recognizable unless you know what you are looking for. This is especially a problem for small pokemon like Flabebe
right? i would have thought theyd at least make all the new shinies noticable since theyre literally being made for a game with open world and no shiny sounds but nope. just look at shiny tauros in this game. horrible.
@@johnheeke5740 yeah shinies like that and Tauros are pretty much impossible to hunt without perfect vision and knowing what you are looking for, I'm almost certain I've passed a shiny that looked too similar to base since the speed makes it impossible to tell and I don't want to check every single Mon. Those mons pretty much are just restricted to breeding to properly hunt, or using let's go in hordes
@@RokkTheRock I thought they'd at least show the animation in the overworld, if not the sound effect. But oh well. At least we have the possibility of an update adding it in, and if not, those who can mod the game will probably have that to fall back on
I was actually kind of surprised at how not useless the classes were. Most of it was things I knew, but a few things specific to these games (like finding eggs in your picnic basket) I was totally unaware of before. The game even tells players the exact critical hit rate down to the decimal. It's about time the games have started making this information available to players; more serious players already know, but casual players definitely don't.
Yeah I thought it was crazy useful because I literally was thinking about looking up the crit rate and damage modifier and then I took the class and the game told me? Actually useful.
@@Tom-101 yeah I still have my sheet where I did all the math for STAB and how much extra damage it would do with certain attacks on my team. Then also added in the modifier from different items. Just an FYI I'm so bad at math I got moved to a remedial math class my senior year so this wasn't fun for me.
@@ralcogaming7674 What's the power of a 100 base power grass move used by a grass type terastallyzed Pokémon (and it crits) with a grass tera type that has the ability Adaptability
@@Tom-101 okay so terastallyzed is new math I haven't done yet, 100 base power is easy math though I was doing math for battle bond water shuriken, with a mystic water with the variable for whether it hit all times or partial. I used both battle bond greninja and a mega lucario as sweepers in sun I lost battle bond obviously but my lucario still slaps. Like one shot a mega rayquaza slaps if I get my setup off.
As someone with mild color blindness, oranges shift to yellow or reds but I see shades of blue and green most don't it's an absolute nightmare trying to tell the difference on certain shinies
I’m colorblind to reds and greens. Most of them kinda look like a brown. I can usually tell the difference if it’s very vibrant though. Christmas can be a nightmare for me though.
As being someone who is partially color blind. Shinies, especially some of the new ones have made my game experience when hunting for shinies litterally just mashing r1 on the controller. Cause unless it is like bisharps shiny i cant tell anything.
I’m only on 11 of the badges because I’ve been doing every class that’s been available! It’s actually been really fun! I’ve enjoyed having a reason to go back to a certain place throughout the game and it making differences to in game relationships ❤
As soon as I saw the name for the town "Alfornada" in my playthrough of the game, I realized that Alfor (All for) nada (means nothing in spanish), so it means "all for nothing".
One guide that I think would be useful is a pokedex completion guide where it goes over the missing pokemon that people might not find to complete their dex, like even if they are going out of their way to explore the map and even grind but still can't find them. Examples - rare pokemon, such as Dolliv, Mismagius, etc. - Pokemon in trees people could miss: Steenee, Flapple, Pineco - pokemon that require an evolution, such as level-up or something else to get the dex entry for (i.e. they are not naturally found somewhere) - Pokemon that might be worth evolving or breeding manually to save time (Dolliv, as a good example) Basically a video that goes over all the Pokemon people might be interested in finding to complete their dex that are tougher to track down. There are hundreds of Pokemon that don't need to be in this video - they are way too common that everyone will find them given they explored even 70% of the map.
Why is Dolliv rare? Just catch a Smolliv and evolve it into Dolliv it only needs to be lvl 25? Mismagius also evolves from Misdreavus but Misdreavus is Violet exclusive so you need to trade for it. All Pokemon that can be in trees also walk around, I see them far less often in trees actually. And he made a video about all the special evolutions already going over every single one and how to do it.
A lot of mons are also available in raids. Because there are so many of them, it's a pretty good chance you will get a rare mon. I got Applin and Charcadet really easily this way
@@knight4041 No need to trade, even. Just have a Violet player host for Scarlet players, and let those Scarlet players catch their own Misdreavus with their own resources!
No thank you. You can already see the amount of shinies battled on your trainer card, and it says I battled two but I only know one I battled outside of a non-saved Cyclizar I failed (so it shouldn't be the one missing) So... Yeah no ty.
A lot of the league rewards are TMs which seem underwhelming but are actually really important because these specific TMs trigger being able to craft them and some of the Tms are very valuable like earthquake
I've been seeing a bunch of critical captures since starting Pokemon Violet. I'm not sure if this has changed in Violet, but I'd love to hear about the math behind catching, and specifiaclly critical catch, in Scarlet/Violet using "caught off guard" and capture powers. Maybe some info on if there's a capture charm as well?
After you catch a pokemon once the next time you catch it always be a crit capture so only the first time you catch a mon it does the three shakes maybe thats why you experiencing more
I don’t actually think that is true, at least not for all Pokémon. I was trying to get a roaring moon with an adamant nature yesterday, and I still only had about 2 critical captures in 12 caught
@@jakecarlson3709 well did they break out of the ball those 12 times cause it only does a crit capture basically to skip the three shake animation so anytime it shook did it break out?
It does seem that GF has streamlined the capture process to get you through it faster if you're farming a ton of the same species. The full animation really only plays if it's either never been caught in your dex, or if it was already calculated to be a failure-to-catch throw. The shortened one-shake animation is just the game saying "I've already calculated this to be a capture of a species you already registered, so let's just speed up this process." It's a minor, but welcomed change to make the game feel like less of a slog.
Hi Austin! I am actually color blind and missing a shiny is my biggest fear in the game right now. I see color still, but I see different shades that are similar and my brain and cones and rods and all that blend them together. I often don’t even see a lot of Pokémon roaming around the world until they are right next to me, especially if they are hiding in grass. I hope I don’t miss anything 😢
8:25 it depends on the type of colour-blindness, since the cause for it is that the cells in ur retina that perceive colour are atrophied, and theres 3 different ones. Extremely rarely some people do see in black and white, but mostly how we see is with some colours being undistinguishable or just very difficult to tell apart from others (for example i struggle with purple violet indigo, they all look deep blue) its easier with very saturated colours that are next to each other, a gradient of unsaturated colours is a mess to distinguish, so then the problem with this game is the shinies that are very similar to the normal colour + if the pokemon is in shadow or sunlight or during the night, i gotta stare at them intently and its a bit of a pain in the arse to do
Color blind can be very VERY vast. There’s a bunch of different types and it’s hard to address every one without an audio cue. Some of the shinnies are VERY similar to base colors too so the audio cue might help a bit. Anyway, love the content, hoping to see a video about getting a fat wallet soon!
Actually the home ec teacher doesn't actually take the item from.your inventory. You just need to have it in your inventory to trigger the event. I only had 1 sweet herb mystica and was able to get the master class sandwiches and and complete the home ec teacher storyline.
I think this was the best written Pokemon game story. While I haven't experienced ALL Pokemon games, I've played most of the mainline ones and this hands-down had the best characters and story.
Those classes were so tiring to take. I took them in two bunches and paid close attention. Although I already understand quite a lot about pokémon, I really did learn a bunch of new things there. And I'm glad I aced perfect scores in all tests!
I think the shiny sound should be an option in the settings so you can choose to turn it on or off. I have friends that would never turn it on, but I definitely would, because I totally have this lingering feeling that I have missed a shiny during my current journey across Paldea and I'm always going to have that feeling now lol
Omg I didn’t know you could activate room selection by interacting with the screen at the help desk. I’ve been running to one of the turnstiles on the sides of the room. This would have saved me so much time.
I love when a new game comes out and Austin starts releasing these amazing videos, honestly I don't care what the video is about its just so enjoyable to watch him talking about stuff
Oh my gosh! My moment has arrived. My friends and I were just discussing my color blindness and my fear that I just ran past shinies and never noticed. Basically I have trouble distinguishing between dark blues, grays, browns, and yellows. So if I Pokemon shiny form doesn't look super different, or it happens to fall in the same palette, I might not notice it.
I've been playing since Red/Blue (the originals) and I'm colorblind. I've never had trouble with shinnies before, but I've never seen a shiny in the wild myself until Pokemon Go. They were so rare back in the day that most people never saw them. When people did, it was almost never the Pokemon they wanted. I got my first shiny that I captured myself in Pokemon Go. I'm very happy at how obtainable they are now. I have mixed feelings about the current system. I was able to spot a Sableye because that shiny was obvious. I picnicked for a shiny Azumaril but that's another easy one to spot. But when I was out in a mass outbreak of Magneton it took me three tries to figure out why Haxxorus wouldn't kill that one. it just looked like it was in the shade or something.
There is a reward for completing classes, well rather the midterms and the finals. For midterms, you get 10 small exp candies each class and finals give you 10 medium candies each class.
Austin, can I just say how awesome that colorblindness segment was? I'm not colorblind or majorly visually impaired but I am disabled, and it's super heartwarming hearing big creators learn about accessibility issues, ask the right questions, and make efforts to change things. You're a cool dude.
8:00 I've randomly encountered three wild shinies so far in S/V. Alomomola was a complete fluke, I battled it for dex completion. Sneasel was next and is a very obvious bright pink, so no trouble there. My third was Axew, which I had to double take for a good 20 seconds as it is so similar to it's normal. They really need to bring back the sparkle mechanic with audio. Even with full colour vision it is a struggle. I don't want to know how many I've missed due to no visual or audio prompt. As a comparison, I only ever randomly came across a shiny buizel in PLA, so I don't think the sparkle is OP, you were just super lucky.
I personally enjoyed doing all of the classes, the little bits of story you unlock relating to the characters really makes the game feel full and developed, even if it is a buggy ass mess at times LMFAO.
I completed everything in the game in a pokemon game for the first time, well at least until the dlc is not out yet. I enjoyed the classes and I enjoyed the extra side story/quest to get closer with the npc which is something new in pokemon games.
Thank you Austin for all of these videos. So many details that arent covered anywhere else ! I love watching these in the morning before I start playing!! 😌
Being colorblind and hunting for shinies is a big challenge in its own riight. Yes, some are more noticable than others with much lighter shades. Them having specific colors in certain spots to look for has helped me but I havnt run into many yet in either game. One Snorunt that was glitched in a wall, that I fainted and didnt save before I saw him and a Numel I almost killed in auto battle.
I love that gen 9 has the guts to restrict a lot of the learning to optional classes. You don’t have to take the classes. But if you do, not only do you get rewards. You get information you might have otherwise not learned. It’s good and I wish they would do more like it
Listening to you randomly talk about color blindness for like 5 minutes straight was such a mood and do incredibly familiar to my ADHD/Aspergers self, ESPECIALLY when you stopped what you were doing to look it up lmfao. You are appreciated.
Note that completing the math and art classes, as with every other class, only give you a small amount of candies. Maxing out your relationships with their respective teachers (which only requires you to have taken a single session of each class) is what rewards you with the Tera shards. The same is true for each of the other classes. The classes give candies, and the relationships give the other rewards.
I haven't gotten my ride Pokemon yet. Using the gap trick, I've found you can climb small cliffs. My goal: open all the fast travel points and come as close finishing the dex as possible, before pushing the story forward AKA getting my ride Pokemon. Sofar: Unlocked 60-70% of the fast travel, starter level 60, and no one is bothering me, no opposing team or rival.. it's nice. Bonus: caught 3 random shinies XD
For the shiny issue: I think it'd be best to either have a visual cue (like they're subtly sparkling/glowing if you're close) Or Keep the soundeffect but make the range much smaller. Or maybe both. I'm not colourblind, but I almost missed my first subtle shiny yesterday-Corviknight. Glad I decided to check it out, but it also stresses me the hell out to now look super closely at everything. Plus my ADHD which makes me want to look everywhere at the same time as well.
Yeah ppl forget that their are lots of reasons to include the options for features like this. Having ADHD and shiny hunting overworld mons, is stressful because even when going out of my way to double check, I'm likely to miss things anyways. I cant imagine having to deal with colorblindness or any other visual difficulties on top of that 😬
Art class is also somewhat fun. Basic explanation of Tera types and boosts and match ups, and you get some info on Hassel and his family heritage of dragon tamers. Gave me how to train your dragon vibes
I gotta say I watch your videos because they help and they're straight to the point non of that 5 minute intros with sponsor breaks for a 1 minute actual content video but I subscribed to you for the random tangents you go off in the middle of them ahahaha
Being visually impaired really is a disadvantage without the sound. I have Retinitis Pigmentosa and I often can't tell a Pokémon is a shiny. The noise was very helpful as it was an additional cue to help me distinguish things.
Tbh, im a fan of how open ended the game is, so most people doesnt really just rush the gym and people can explore and complete those objectives at their own pace.
I love the fact that the story doesn't push you into completing the gyms in a specific order. Yes, the level cap for controlling Pokemon limits how easily you will be able to do that, but mixing in all the other things with the Titans and the team star tasks makes it very much a matter of choosing where you want to go as you progress. There's multiple prior pokémon games that I bought but never finished because they were far too linear, and the older battles never felt very fun. The battles taking place on the open field and seeing the Pokemon really helps too.
wow thanks for the warning Austin i will definitely remember to save when i get the game on christmas because i’ll probably be playing a lot of hours as i get my pokemon team
I'm glad to see you using Lucario in your party. In my playthrough, they were totally broken in the best possible way. Having not played very many main series pokemon games, I was super excited to have a Lucario on my team. Anyways, I always find your content to be amazing and informative! Keep up the awesome work!! Have a great day!
Stomping tantrum is great if you use sucker punch. You can use sucker punch to prime stomping tantrum, which is handy if you enjoy moves that increase damage dramatically.
I’m severely red green color blind in addition to some other variations of color blindness and to explain it as simply as possible, if you threw a bright red frisbee in a field of green grass, it would kind of blend in with the grass but when I did find it, I can obviously tell that the frisbee is red and the grass is green. In other words, the colors when not focused on seem to blend and not pop outlI 100% think it affects my ability to shiny hunt in this game. Especially with the heavy and sometimes random shadowing of overworked pokemon. I have over 100 hours on the game and have not done any sandwich shiny hunting and have not completed the dex yet and I have 7 shinys, all of them are shiny with radical color differences from the originals.
got a pal who isnt colourblind but he is very visual impaired and pretty much depended on the sparkle sound effect to clue him in. just such a simple easy disability acessability option thats not here :c heck, could even make it a toggle option so those who like the no sparkle can keep it!
I think all the classes are worth it. They all have fun flavor and lore and mechanic tips. I did basically all of them back to back after completing all the main story quests and it takes like maybe 2 hours which isn't that big of a deal tbh
As someone with moderate red-green colorblindness it is pretty difficult to tell shinies unless it’s drastically different from its original. Thanks for even considering it even though it’s not something major, it’s nice that someone is thinking about us :)
I’m colorblind. I get asked this a lot. Basically, if you and I were looking at the same thing, you will see more colors than I will because my brain can’t separate the colors well. So I lose sight of certain colors when they are close to one another. Especially, red and green.
One of the complaints I have about trying to spot shinies while riding through is that the pokemon take so long to load onto the world that if you are going fast enough there won't be much to look at while you are going from one place to another
Colour blindness doesn't work like that. It is more that you think something is a certain colour, but it isn't. Imagine a paint colour strip in a store, showing you the varying shades of pinks and reds, from almost white, to almost wine-red. To me, that would be mostly the same colour, and identical to the orange one.
Well color blindness comes in a lot of different forms. Some color blindness does erase all color, but most only exempt some color, filling in with the wavelengths that the person IS able to see. My uncle is red-green colorblind so those appear in shades of brown to him.
Yes, I think complete color blindness is relatively rare, but it can happen. Not being able to tell red from green is the most common - and more common in men because of the XY chromosomes. (The relevant gene is on the X and color blindness is recessive, so women with XX have two chances to get a functional gene and men only have one.) I'm pretty sure dogs are also red-green colorblind, even though they're often inaccurately portrayed as totally color blind.
I’m blue purple colour blind, and It does get really hard to see shinies that are different between the two, finizen for example, I had to get my partner to tell me what colours he is haha, I really liked the sounds in arceus it was really helpful
Keeping with the issues you've mentioned right at the end of the video, I had some issues with random crashes and, as a shiny hunter, I turned auto save off. The problem is, I don't save that often. One really useful tip that I think you could add to one of your videos (I don't know if you did this already) is the fact that the Scarlet/Violet keeps a "secret backup" that is almost like you've never turned auto safe off. Basically, you just have to press B+X+D-pad UP to access the backup while on the title screen. That saved me about 3 hours of playtime the last time the game crashed.
I'm not colorblind, but I know that's not how it works. In a Dream video discussing George's color blindness, a few examples were shown for not being able to see red. Purple looks blue, pink is like a gray, Minecraft lava looks like cheese dip. Basically, they see color differently if I understand it right.
I’d like some kind of shiny indicator, I think I’m a bit red and green weak and it is straining my eyes (in addition to the 10fps sometimes) keeping an eye out for shinies
If you want help with some of those names, a lot of these names are mixtures of different languages. Mirai=Japanese meaning future and its a long e sound for the i (mee-rai). Alfornada has a huge pottery oven so it's the Spanish word for oven which is alforno, And there are so so so so many more.
I decided I wanted to change my Pokemon's Tera Type for good weakness coverage for the Elite Four. Come to find out I needed 50 shards and started thinking of the best way to grind from raids. Decided to see if Austin had any "How to get more Tera Shards" tips and saw this new video instead. 2nd class on the list, Math, Austin lets me know that Tyme gives 50 rock tera shards - the exact type I was looking for. Amazing
Hi Austin. I’m someone who brought up colorblindness on Twitter. I tried hunting magnemite and sinistea in mass outbreaks, but they are so small and so similar looking to me, that I stopped trying for them. I had to get very close and look at each one. And I had to use let’s go to beat ones I had to test. It’s a debilitating feature, but it is what it is. I got a shiny riolu and hatched a shiny Sprigatito in 4 eggs. So egg hatching and shiny mass outbreaks of Pokémon I can actually see will have to do. Still love the game no matter what.
Mangs, on RU-vid, he's Color-blind. My Friend is what I Call "Christmas" . Color Blind; where he's blind to both Red AND Green Colors. I'm training my eyes to see minut changes in Color. So ... I understand where you're coming from with this Problem. Also, with PLA's , I like those Features. 😀🤔😀🤔
Personally I think shinies should have had a setting that could be toggled on or off, re: the overworld sound and animation. Also, Nokimon did a video 2 months ago where they put PLA in black and white and tried to shiny hunt in mass outbreaks. They weren't always successful! It can be tricky
I honestly can't believe how many people haven't finished it once or got half way.. I finished my first run last night and I'm just under half way already on my second..
there are a total of two(maybe three) tm's that are only obtainable from gym reps, the rest are found out on the map or unlocked for manufacture by game completion edit: im aware of this because i never touched the trainers out in the fields so no rep rewards and when i went to look for the remaining tms i was missing two were marked this way but the rest were all available by other ways, i only had something like six total i still needed to find just from exploration and making missing tms when i could
Does any know is Austin-John has a video of what order to play the game! ( his suggestion) I know you can play the game in any order but I got my butt kicked in my first walkthrough and I’m starting my second one tomorrow. I would love a video on that!! 🥺😂
Austin "If you are near a shiny remember to turn autosave back on" Me: "There is no way I am near a Shiny, but I'll turn on autosave anyway + save now." 2 sec later Voltorb; I'm blue, Da ba dee da ba di, Da ba dee da ba di, Da ba dee da ba di! Me: Austin you are a prophet!
Colorblindness is not being unable to see colors. It is a CVD, color vision deficiency, and there are some different types of them, for example: we have the red-green deficiency where the individual sees more green and less red in every color; Imagine the RGB codes, add a bit of green and get rid of some red in every color, that's who we see things.
At 4:27 - Home Ec teachers name is Saguaro, he's the one who asks you to give him the Sweet Herba Mystica. Just wanted to say here in case anyone was confused by him saying Mr. Jacq :)
because of the first video i saw of you i keep having the feeling that you call the areas by the wrong name every time you say "xxx province" I want to correct you to say "xxx proviDEnce", even though i know that province is the right one
I’m colorblind and for me the contrast isn’t there. Many joke about small color variations, but unless it uses a completely different palate, I’m out of luck. Also, incredibly charming to hear my favorite content creator speak a little bit about something that impacts me…
Im colorblind and in my first play through of let’s go Pikachu, the squirtle officer Jenny gave me was shiny and I didn’t even notice until the end game when I decided to evolve it. PLA was incredibly helpful in finding them and made it more worth it to even try to find them.
