Or the ancient method- choosing which of the box art legends looks cooler in your opinion. Edit: And then regretting it later when you find out the other version has the better exclusives
*As a Shield owner, I'm happy that I went with that version unknowingly which was better and simply basing my decision off of which Pokémon cover art looked better to me.*
Picking Scarlet over Violet not only because I like Koraidon and the exclusives more, but also because when EVERYONE has Violet… everyone will need Scarlet!
You can say how much Xerneas is better overall with Fairy Type and good moves, but Yveltal with Oblivion Wing, Dark Pulse, Phantom Force and Fly/Substitute is a absolute MONSTER that steamrolls everything in it's path regardless of type advantages on the game. Yveltal trully incarnates the fantasy of a Pokémon representing Death itself, that thing looks menacing, has a ominous presence, trully killer moves and hits like .38 shot. Although not the best legendary, you can't deny that thing is made to kill.
There’s a method most of us use but it comes with a flaw: We choose the one where the box art legendary looks cooler BUT… it doesn’t have the cool version exclusive Pokémon
Scarlet and Violet introduced a whole new method of choosing: which school uniform is the least offensive to your eyes. No amount of exclusive pokemon could make me pick Scarlet’s orange shorts…
Same bro. The only reason I even watched this video a second time is because i wanted to make sure that zangoose wasent an x exclusive because I really want zangoose and pokemon y
@@FireBeast7956 i mean zacian is cool and all but i feel like it's kinda strange with zamazenta, it's shield is it's mane, which i think is clever zacian is just holding a sword in its mouth and looks kinda off
Its worth noting that gen 5s exclusive list is effectively a lot longer, because there are a ton of Pokémon that are “exclusive” to one game, but available in the other through a 5% chance encounter in shaking grass. That should absolutely make a difference.
@@cynicalgold9992 do you know how rare shaking tall grass is? You might see one every other screen if you’re lucky, then you might not even be able to get there if its deep within a patch of tall grass because gen V has a crazy high encounter rate for some reason, and only _then_ do you have a 5% chance of encountering a Pokemon that isn’t audino. It’s literally easier to just trade for the pokemon in question than it is to actually catch it. Yes, it’s _technically_ not exclusive, but its rare to the point that it _effectively_ is exclusive.
@@Martin724K Slurpuff's Huge Power Atk: 160 also even without it a 5 point difference really doesnt mean anything.. specially in story mode.. specially in Kalos
I just get both of them since I had more than one console to use for trading. And for the Switch games, I still have both but one system so I use Pokemon Home to put the version exclusives in there, then pick them up in the other version. No trading necessary.
Somehow I managed to luck my way into picking all the best versions simply based on personal preference of which box legendaries I thought looked cooler, so that’s pretty neat!
"You can't get galarian darumaka till you get all 8 badges" This is false, you can get it before the 6th gym, on the part before circhester, there is a 5% chance of finding a galarian darumaka in the grass (not overworld) in pokemon sword
Actually, I chose "Black 2" and "X" over their counterparts and I had no regrets. With the former, I prefer Magmortar over Electivire and liked the easier access to Heracross (which I prefer over Pinsir), plus if you do want to dedicate the time to getting a non-Weak Armor Mandibuzz, she's great against three of the Unova Elite Four (even though I never used her myself). With the latter, I just chose mainly as I wanted to try out the mascot with the Fairy-typing, plus it had Houndoom (which I prefer over Manectric even though I like it too). I technically chose both versions in USUM but my "Ultra Sun" copy got corrupted in 2019 and while I miss it, I've been getting on well with "Ultra Moon". The third time I got only one version of a set though, I chose "Pokemon Shield" and its expansion pass. I wasn't expecting "Shield" to do so well here lol.
The part about super effective coverage against Steven should be a point to Kyogre, it has coverage against 5 of the 6, all of them if you teach it earthquake, which will be really strong as after primal reversion it has 150 base attack
I usually go with the version where I like the exclusive Pokemon and the obtainable legendaries best. However for some games (since ORAS to be honest) I bought the other version later as well. Usually for the older games it was one of the main versions I liked more and then the improved 3rd edition, but they don't do that anymore.
I got sword, then I beat it and traded my Zacian for a Zamazenta on pokemon home. After that, I reset and I'm going to beat the game again so I can get my Zacian back, and now I can have both.
I always liked more the "right" version of the game from where it was presented but I regret my choices always since the other legendary is always cooler than the one i wanted and got (black,white2,Y,shield)but when i was a kid i was able to get both games at the end of the day so i was happy.
“Zekrom has a better type” Reshiram: literally has an unresisted STAB combination which combined with the ability hits all 649 pokemon for neutral or better
In gen 6 if you combine Slurpuff with an egg move of Belly Drum, it’s hidden ability of Unburden - once Belly Drum is used and its Sitrus Berry consumed you have the hardest hitting, fastest sweeping Play Rough’ing monster in the game. It rocks.
I do understand how Y won there, but as someone who never used any version exclusives other than xerneas when I played X, I think having a better legendary is more important than aromatisse being better than slurpuff because I would never have used either. if anyone asked me which gen 6 to get, I would always say X because xerneas is quite good and (correct me if I'm wrong) I'm pretty sure that charizard and mewtwo's mega evolutions are also game locked and, in my opinion, I'd rather have mega charizard x. it depends on how you play but I'd say that some Pokemon (like legendaries or generally good ones) should count more than slightly better Pokemon people probably won't use. Edit: this comment is me saying that there isn’t an objective best, not that X is better
Yveltal is also a decens pokémon, and his unice move makes it better. I think that Charizard Y is way better than x. Why? It has a higher special attack which makes him better in my opinion. There are more stronger fire special moves than physical. Secondly it has sunny day which makes him even better in offensive
@@theorynmythenundmehr294 Maybe, but Charizard X looks cooler. And considering we're looking at pokemon as used during up through the main story rather than at competitive battling against optimized teams, I'll choose the cool/fun factor over stats any day.
I personally chose Y back in the day. I always liked Yveltal and I really didn't care that Xerneas would absolutely demolish Yveltal. Shiny Yveltal is also one of my favorite shines sooo yeah. Mega Mewtwo Y was also a selling point for me.

“By this time in the game you probably already have a Pokémon that is your main flyer.” One of the options is Golurk. The fear I would feel seeing that thing flying through the air would be immense.
The result wouldn't change, but I just want to point out Competitive on Gothitelle didn't exist until Gen VI. Mostly because the ability Competitive at all didn't exist before gen VI.
Iroh: "It is time for you to look inward, and begin asking yourself the big questions" Me: Will Grunty Boy appear if a future Pokemon Talk episode is sponsored?
actually you can get Galarian darumaka on route 8 on the second part of the route and the odds of finding one are the same as they are on route 10 (5% chance of a random encounter in the tall grass)
I always used to just pick the best one based on how they look lol I always loved Charizard, just based on how badass he looked, and he was a pretty good starter to choose from throughout. But in actuality Blastoise and Venusaur are much better competitively. Especially Blastoise! Now that I’m older I actually much prefer Blastoise
Don't forget about Clawitzer's ability: Mega Launcher. It can have STAB with any "pulse" or "sphere" move. Water Pulse totals to 135 power, Aura Sphere totals to 120 power, Dark Pulse totals to 120 power, and Dragon Pulse totals to 128 power. Combined, these four attacks can be super effective against TEN TYPES. Dragalge is good, but I've used Clawitzer before and it's amazingly good.
Overlook for Butterfree. It's one of the best setup, catching pokemon, and it evolves really fast. It's got like a 98% chance to hit with all status effects including sleep. Don't think it can burn though, but still for catching almost nothing is better. Also I think it was an oversight not going over post game stuff for Sword/Shield and Sun/Moon games because more of those games is post game than the main story is. Which is kind of ridiculous. xD
These considerations are Main Story Based, not Competitive Based; The only Main Story that is Post-Game for Both SS and SM is 1 single side story/clean-up, everything else is: Breeding, Battling, Competitive or Catching/Pokedex.....also you can do the SS DLC BEFORE the 1st Gym, so no, DLC is not Post-Game.
I concur if you are someone who catches throughout the playthrough rather than just speedrunning through everything then Butterfree is dope. You generally don't need every single slot in your party for the combat portions of the playthrough so having a good catcher to reduce backtracking is quite nice. However, the only reason I concur is because of the playthrough stipulation. Post game you can have some really insane catchers and Butterfree's low stats become a lot more apparent.
I like this list, and I appreciate that you were willing to put in all the work to make these decisions, but if I’m given the choice between 2 games post Gen 5, I will always choose the one with Mandibuzz, as it is my second favorite Pokémon. Luckily for me, I don’t have to worry about my number 1 favorite, Chandelure, being unobtainable.
Id like to point out in sword and shield you could luck out and find certain pokemon that dont appear in the games normally in max raid battles. Stumbled upon a shiny sirfetchd in my shield. I still agree that shield was the obvious choice over sword. Weirdly if you just include zacian and zamazenta, zamazenta is an insane tank ive found.
Man Grunty Boy Is AWESOME IT WOULD BE BETTER IF JESSE AND JAMES GOT A NEW COHORT AND GETS RID OF WELL WABOOFET (INTENTIALLY SPELT WRONG LOL) AND NAMES HIM GRUUUUUNNNNNNNTTTTTTYYY BOOOOIIIIII...LOL

“By this time in the game you probably already have a Pokémon that is your main flyer.” One of the options is Golurk. The fear I would feel seeing that thing flying through the air would be immense.

actually you can get Galarian darumaka on route 8 on the second part of the route and the odds of finding one are the same as they are on route 10 (5% chance of a random encounter in the tall grass)

But Dynamax is worse since almost everything can do it.
@@hypertech116 wtf? "very low tiers", like did you saw Gen8 CT meta? lmfao
“Galarian Darumaka can’t be found until you have all eight badges”
Very inaccurate statement
You can also find it in the snowy section of Route 8. Still quite late, but Galarian Darmanitan is ludicrously powerful.
@@uniqueusername677 I swept every battle with it after I got it lmao.
@@alf6920 I just made a competitive darmanitan and swept Leon.
Right, as soon as he said it I thought isn’t it on snowy part of route 8?

"They have a lot of hoops to jump through"
:Smirks
"Literally" 😂😂😂😂
I always used to just pick the best one based on how they look lol
I always loved Charizard, just based on how badass he looked, and he was a pretty good starter to choose from throughout.
But in actuality Blastoise and Venusaur are much better competitively. Especially Blastoise! Now that I’m older I actually much prefer Blastoise
Don't forget about Clawitzer's ability: Mega Launcher. It can have STAB with any "pulse" or "sphere" move. Water Pulse totals to 135 power, Aura Sphere totals to 120 power, Dark Pulse totals to 120 power, and Dragon Pulse totals to 128 power. Combined, these four attacks can be super effective against TEN TYPES. Dragalge is good, but I've used Clawitzer before and it's amazingly good.
Who would argue against a PISTOL SHRIMP?!

It took me a while to realize that Eevee gets at least one signature move corresponding to the type of each of its evolutions.
Me when I see ‘Includes Paid Promotion’: Ah yes, Grunty Boi
I thought for sure I stole your glasses! It's just nor fair, I'm going to tell your mother!
Did you steal this account?
That is because you stole them FROM HIS MOTHET
found you
Also with Let’s Go Eevee Bouncy Bubble is a MUST HAVE!
Overlook for Butterfree. It's one of the best setup, catching pokemon, and it evolves really fast. It's got like a 98% chance to hit with all status effects including sleep. Don't think it can burn though, but still for catching almost nothing is better.
Also I think it was an oversight not going over post game stuff for Sword/Shield and Sun/Moon games because more of those games is post game than the main story is. Which is kind of ridiculous. xD
These considerations are Main Story Based, not Competitive Based; The only Main Story that is Post-Game for Both SS and SM is 1 single side story/clean-up, everything else is: Breeding, Battling, Competitive or Catching/Pokedex.....also you can do the SS DLC BEFORE the 1st Gym, so no, DLC is not Post-Game.
I concur if you are someone who catches throughout the playthrough rather than just speedrunning through everything then Butterfree is dope. You generally don't need every single slot in your party for the combat portions of the playthrough so having a good catcher to reduce backtracking is quite nice.
However, the only reason I concur is because of the playthrough stipulation. Post game you can have some really insane catchers and Butterfree's low stats become a lot more apparent.
People who by both versions :
I don't have such weaknesses
Nice
People who buy both versions have $120 dollars to blow on probably-now-subpar Pokémon games
Other than buying the same game twice...
Why are you looking at me?😳
I know that Galarian Darmanitan is found way later, but it’s *so* busted, almost as Dracovish, probably the third best mon in the game.
I wish Cramorant was better. It’s my favorite new Galar Pokémon, but it’s not that good… 😢
I like this list, and I appreciate that you were willing to put in all the work to make these decisions, but if I’m given the choice between 2 games post Gen 5, I will always choose the one with Mandibuzz, as it is my second favorite Pokémon. Luckily for me, I don’t have to worry about my number 1 favorite, Chandelure, being unobtainable.
Congrats
Id like to point out in sword and shield you could luck out and find certain pokemon that dont appear in the games normally in max raid battles. Stumbled upon a shiny sirfetchd in my shield. I still agree that shield was the obvious choice over sword. Weirdly if you just include zacian and zamazenta, zamazenta is an insane tank ive found.
