      If the Raid people are seeing this comment, just want to say Jrose11 knocked it out of the park with his promo for you. Not only personally endorsing it, but breaking down the common complaints about it. While your game has become meme'd enough that I don't know how much hope there really is to earn new players from promos like this anymore, if you were going to get any, they'd be from a promo like this one instead of the usual monotone over view of what your game is that most youtubers have heard a thousand times now.

    To answer the level 0/3/5/8 question - as part of the damage formula, you multiply by your twice your level divided by 5, rounded down to the nearest whole number. What this means is that 0/3/5/8 are the points where you go from one whole number to the next after rounding - (14*2)/5 is 5.6 but (15*2)/5 is 6.0, which means you have a 5 instead of a 6 in the multiplier

    • @RedeemedSteve
      @RedeemedSteve 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +36

      The reason Pokemon always "rounds down" is because it just truncates any of the decimals so it basically ignores them to make the coding simpler. So 5.6 is just read as 5 and 6.3 would be read as 6 since it completely ignores the numbers after the decimal.

    I’ve grown to love Raichu more and more over the years. Early anime made me hate him (He was always portrayed as a jerk in some fashion) . It wasn’t until DP that the first seed of change was planted, the lack of free thunderstone in the early game. I had caught a pikachu as I was want to do. But I couldn’t find the free thunderstone to sell. I hadn’t really played an entry where I couldn’t find the freebie after catching my pikachu. So I got curious, and mined in the underground for one. And it took me a week. A week that made me want to use the thunderstone on my pikachu. I can’t remember if I had used that Raichu, but that was the first instance where I felt that not all Raichu had to be jerks. Now I love Raichu, so it always warms my heart to see the Luigi of the Pokemon universe get more appreciation and screen time in videos like this. Cheers Jrose.

    (I know this is a lot of words, but I tried my best to explain this as simply as I could in a way that doesn't assume very much mathematical knowledge.)
    On the 0/3/5/8 level thing, there's a factor multiplied into the damage calculation based on the level. That factor is basically 0.4 x level (see footnote), except the damage calculation doesn't really do decimals, so this factor gets rounded DOWN to the nearest whole number (basically, the decimal portion is dropped; even today, this is the default way for computers to handle whole number division unless specifically programmed otherwise). I'll explain why the rounding occurs at those digits in two ways.
    First, let's see what happens if we multiply 0.4 by the numbers 1-10.
    1 x 0.4 = 0.4
    2 x 0.4 = 0.8
    3 x 0.4 = 1.2
    4 x 0.4 = 1.6
    5 x 0.4 = 2.0
    6 x 0.4 = 2.4
    7 x 0.4 = 2.8
    8 x 0.4 = 3.2
    9 x 0.4 = 3.6
    10 x 0.4 = 4.0
    We can see that 3, 5, 8, and 10 are when the result became big enough to reach the next whole number. We can also see that there's sort of a pattern repeating every 5 numbers; see how the results of 6-10 are the same as the results of 1-5, just with an extra 2 added to each of them? That would keep happening if we extended the pattern, so 11-15 give the same thing + 4, 16-20 give the same thing + 6, etc. Since it repeats every five numbers, and five goes evenly into ten, we can know where we are in the pattern just by looking at the last digit. That means the final digits of 3, 5, 8, and 0 show exactly when the factor transitions from one whole number to the next; since the factor drops any decimal portion, that makes these the only times when the factor actually changes, for the purposes of the damage calculation.
    To think of it another way, consider what number you would need to multiply 0.4 by to get to each new whole number. Basically, \_\_ x 0.4 = 1, \_\_ x 0.4 = 2, etc. We can use division to find the answers to these types of equations, so we just want to divide each number by 0.4, and that'll tell us what level we'll need to be to reach that number. This gives us:
    1 / 0.4 = 2.5
    2 / 0.4 = 5
    3 / 0.4 = 7.5
    4 / 0.4 = 10
    5 / 0.4 = 12.5
    6 / 0.4 = 15
    7 / 0.4 = 17.5
    8 / 0.4 = 20
    ...
    We can again see a pattern: we get numbers ending in 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 0. So, level 5, for example, is a cutoff point that changes the value of the factor; any level below 5 will result in something less than 2, and any level above 5 will result in something more than 2 (which may then become 2 after rounding). Of course, we can't be level 7.5, but we can still interpret the same way: any level below 7.5 will turn the factor into something less than 3, and any level above 7.5 will turn the factor into something more than 3 (before rounding). Level 8 is the first level after that cutoff point, so that's a level that changes the factor. Similarly, level 3 is the cutoff point corresponding to 2.5. To put it simply, the REAL pattern is that the factor changes every 2.5 levels, but because everything's whole numbers here, and the factor gets rounded down, we have to round up the level numbers to compensate.
    Footnote: the factor actually gets 2 added to it before it's multiplied in as part of the damage calculation, but that has no effect on the rounding, so I ignored it for the sake of making the explanation easier to understand.

    You know, it's kinda funny how much of a roadblock Brock is in these challenges.
    If you have a super-effective move you're laughing.
    If you have a strong move that's neutral you're also laughing.
    If you have a strong move that's resisted you'll likely get through fairly quickly.
    If you have a weak neutral move you'll probably get through decently quickly.
    If you have a weak resisted move you're screwed.
    If you have to rely on struggle you're gonna be there for hours.
    Last factor is having a non-damaging move to pass turns of bide, well outside of the ones where you're forced to struggle.

That said I love your videos, I immediately knew the flaws and struggles with an attempt with a Raichu.

    For the damage rounding, it's actually pretty simple. After each division, the formula always ROUNDS DOWN. There is only one place where level is used in the formula. That's for calculating a "level multiplier", essentially. In that spot, it takes: (Level * 2) / 5. That means the level multiplier goes up by 0.4 every level.... But that rounds down. That means the multiplier only goes up on the levels ending in numbers you mentioned. At lvl 3, it's 1, then 2 at level 5, 3 at level 8, 4 at level 10, etc.
    That does get divided again later, but that doesn't change the above- just reduces the total impact on damage later on.

    • @Neogeddon
      @Neogeddon 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      In the context of a solo run.... yeah. The point of their tiny movesets was to cause a choice of "do I evolve my Pikachu now or later when it learns better moves?" But here you can't grab the moves on it as Pikachu, so it's just unnecessarily at a disadvantage.
      Then again... a lot of Pokemon in gen 1 don't learn moves until late because the game was very much designed as a classic single-player RPG with the multiplayer as sort of just a bonus. Like, Ponyta doesn't learn a move until its 30s because you simply can't obtain a Ponyta before then. And those don't typically get moveset exceptions for these challenges.

    6:00 im not an expert in math and how the damage calculations works, but from what i understand
    theres a part in the formula thats (2 x level x critical) / 5
    so from what i understand gen 1 rounds down the damage, any number ending in 0 is a multiple of 5, so an integer
    3 x 2 = 6, which divided by 5 is 1,2, rounded down to 1, while (2x2)/5 = 0,8, rounded down to 0
    (5x2)/5 will be an integer of course, = 2
    (8x2)/5 = 3,2, rounded down to 3, while (7x2)/5 = 2,8, rounded down to 2
    so levels ending in 0,3, 5 and 8 are the numbers when you plug in the formula, will give a higher integer when rounded down, while 1 and 2 will be the same as 0; 4 will be the same as 3; 6 and 7 the same as 5; and 9 the same as 8

    Hey Jrose, the thing is, because in the damage formula the level is multiplied by a factor of 2/5, and all the time in the damage calculation, the numbers are rounded down (the decimals are discarded), levels ending in 0, 3, 5, and 8 are the ones that take that "rounding down" to the next threshold (2x0/5=0, 2x3/5=1, 2x5/5=2 and 2x8/5=3)

    The thing that really makes Brock so bad is that he's got pokemon with a type that resists normal at a point in the game when most pokemon just have normal moves and one or two of their starting type, and basically no access to TMs. So I'm not sure you can say pokemon that do poorly against him will always have that weakness, since a bunch can learn answers to those pokemon through their move list or TMs. It's just unfortunate, but that's gen 1.

    And thus, Jrose11 also fell to the dark side.
    It seems nothing can stop the onlsaught of RAID...

    I’d love to see a table of how Pokemon did if you remove the brock part of the run. It seems genuinely unfair to watch Raichu struggle so much due to movepool and type match up when it seems to fly in the rest of the game. I always had a feeling at the back of my mind that my Raichu when I was a kid was a strong ‘mon, I think on reflection watching what you’ve done with Raichu here, I was right. It is fun to watch your Raichu use body slam on Surge’s given the anime’s history too. Great video, thanks for sharing with us.

    Bro, Ive been subbed to this channel for a long time, and I truly wish you the best, I want you to succeed as a creator, but you're gonna have to do it without my sub or views when you go so hard for Raid.
    As a parent these gacha games, which absolutely can be fun and free, are the BANE of my existence, and I can't knowingly support creators that give them this sort of endorsement.
    Good luck completing the series.
