When you brought up that program button for calculators... that hit me in the feels. If I was allowed to use that in my physics exams, I prob would have gotten a better grade than a C.
Now My Favorite Pokémon Region is paldea, Gen 9 is The Best Gen, paldea is A Diverse Region & So Big With Tons Of Areas To Visit, AN OPEN WORLD AREA. So Dope. The New Pokémons Are Awesome. My Favorite Pokémon From Gen 9 Are The Boxart Legendaries, koraidon and miraidon, They Are Some Of The Best Legendary Dragon Types. And The Concept Of Paradox Pokémon From The Past & Future Are Awesome.
I feel this. For in-class physics exams, we were allowed to use the PROG functions and even encouraged by the teacher. But when it came to the state-driven exams at the end of the year, the teachers were required to make sure the calcs were factory reset before it began and erase all that data. A lot of people struggled and the teacher basically told us to not worry about it cause the state exam didn't matter. He was tenured and the state exam results didn't affect his job at all at that point, so he basically said he didn't care if we passed or failed those exams. Awesome teacher.
My take on it is that the true region size is the one in the anime, look at pewter city from the game compared to the anime, the anime size is much more realistic in real life than the game size
Yeah and also even 3d games are never supposed to be to scale,it would be suuuuper boring if you had to walk for hours just to get from one village to the other😂
That is pretty rad, man. I actually travelled through the real world Kanto region (on my channel) and was literally horrified how MASSIVE the distances were. I live in Tokyo, and it would take me around 3 hours to get to the next city by train… Even if that is via a fast express/bullet train. Can you imagine actually walking or cycling through it? Has to be one special 10 year old…
Combining an engineering degree with pokemon knowledge is probably top 3 best ideas on youtube ever Nah honestly your videos are amazing I'm so glad I got the strongest pokemon one recommended I'd like to see you combining your engineering skills with other franchises :)
You say the students are half the height of one of the stories, but five seconds earlier at 4:02 you get a way better angle where they're more like a fourth the height.
As soon as I saw Alola's map I sighed of relief, knowing that this one would be easy since all you had to do was determine the width of a single building AND THEN YOU FUCKING COUNTED STEPS AGAIN
The step counting is actually a lot quicker, I just didn’t trust it for the switch games because they don’t have grid-based movements, so it’s harder to be precise
I loved the ramblings against the education systems archaic ways, I've been having issues with the system since I was like 11 so it really resonated with me Also very funny that Kalos became a big issue, it's always the French ;)
I remember when I was a kid, I had a copy of that sinnoh map hanging above my bed, and it blew my mind how small sinnoh was since I could look at a map of the entire reigon and still see individual stairs and streetlights
This makes me want to use PLA as a metric to find a more accurate size of all the regions. In PLA you have a distance flag with meters. We can start from measuring Jubilife Village. EDIT: I just did it. Jubilife Village is 153 meters wide, and it's a perfect square in DPP City. Measuring the width of Sinnoh it's 2108 meters (1.31 miles). Just x1.28 everything you did.
There's pretty much no point in an exam if you get to use a calculator, unless it's asking questions like 78,927*58,179, although geometry is obnoxious but math isn't the problem there it's the measuring that's the problem Also X² stuff is usually just complicating simple math 148² = 21,904 for example takes a few seconds but it's easy but when expected to reverse engineer a bunch of numbers to find x is time consuming Also squaring numbers is super easy for a simple example: 190² Take 200² then - (195×10×2) The difference between the 2 numbers times the average between the 2 times 2 For an extra example 193² would be just 40,000-(196.5×14) Although even doing it the longer way of 200² - 200×7 then - 193×7 isn't hard as long as it's not very large numbers like 173,567² and even then it's not really hard as much as just tedious.
Well I agree with the mathamical side of what you said considering the wild area in sword and shield and the fact these are pokemon video games and a tv show lol the regions are definitely bigger then what your saying. If you go on the TV show it takes multiple episodes just to get to 1 town the regions on the TV show are definitely bigger then the math behind them
theres the surfing minigames in the ultra games for sun and moon that you might be able to use to get a better ballpark estimate for the distance between the islands
Tbh this is super useful for pokemon fangame makers! I always wondered what the general ratio for the irl place to pokemon game world was. Ty for the video!
Yeah, sorry, but I'm gonna have to call bs on the entire video, as everyone knows (or should) that almost all video game worlds are massively scaled down, due it being completely unfeasible to make them their actual size. The only exceptions are those that use procedural generation.

They made you do physics without a calculator?? Monsters!
@@TheChiptide Lol, no program button/Cheat sheet. Allowed on every test except the exam that mattered. Ruined me.

"it would be a fools..." Don't even have to finish that sentence to know what you're about to do lol
As a fan of both math and pokemon, these videos scratch an itch I didn't even know I had, so thanks pal

You say the students are half the height of one of the stories, but five seconds earlier at 4:02 you get a way better angle where they're more like a fourth the height.
I should have been more clear, I meant the adults are roughly a third of the height, they’re a bit taller than the students

I was gonna talk shit about overexplaining 6th grade math but then I remembered that not everyone in the internet is an adult
1:48
Idk why but the mirrored picture of the paldea region looks cursed to me
Chip Tide the pokemath guy
Now calculate how much some pokemon "should" weigh
I’ve actually been thinking of doing that for a while! There’s a lot of wacky Pokédex weights out there
I would suggest using more measurements, as only using 1 might be a really inefficient way to do this. Great video!
I have wanted an answer to this Question for about half a Decade now, so thank you
I had to do a highschool math exam without a calculator and im still scarred to this day
There's pretty much no point in an exam if you get to use a calculator, unless it's asking questions like 78,927*58,179, although geometry is obnoxious but math isn't the problem there it's the measuring that's the problem
Also X² stuff is usually just complicating simple math
148² = 21,904 for example takes a few seconds but it's easy but when expected to reverse engineer a bunch of numbers to find x is time consuming
Also squaring numbers is super easy for a simple example: 190²
Take 200² then - (195×10×2)
The difference between the 2 numbers times the average between the 2 times 2
For an extra example 193² would be just 40,000-(196.5×14)
Although even doing it the longer way of 200² - 200×7 then - 193×7 isn't hard as long as it's not very large numbers like 173,567² and even then it's not really hard as much as just tedious.
Me! I was wondering about this! Thank you so much for making this video & figuring it out!
Since we know the sizes of the regions, it makes you wonder what they would look like on a map 🤔
Well I agree with the mathamical side of what you said considering the wild area in sword and shield and the fact these are pokemon video games and a tv show lol the regions are definitely bigger then what your saying. If you go on the TV show it takes multiple episodes just to get to 1 town the regions on the TV show are definitely bigger then the math behind them
True, but the shows aren’t canon to the games. This video was about how big the regions in the original video games are, the show is totally different
@@TheChiptide lol wut? origins is literally the story of the first game. how is it "totally different"?
Unova is pretty on par with the New York region if scaled properly. As Drifveil is the Newburg area with the airport as Stewart Airport.
Hoping you make it big
theres the surfing minigames in the ultra games for sun and moon that you might be able to use to get a better ballpark estimate for the distance between the islands
So Kanto region is about 850 feet long which is about the length of 30 Onix 😅
That’s honestly crazy!
I wish they would do a really big sized region that would be open world and very wild at parts, but have big bustling cities...
as a current engineering student who is also a pokemon nerd, I approve
Man youre really underrated
For the square based regions, is there an overview somewhere where you can find how many squares each region has?
the in game regions are probably about the size of a city.
the anime/lore regions are about the size of a European country.
Tbh this is super useful for pokemon fangame makers! I always wondered what the general ratio for the irl place to pokemon game world was. Ty for the video!
why using miles and not kilometers.. other than that, great video, and thanks for all the work in the calcs.
I've been wanting to know the answer to this question for years
Can u make a follow up since the game is out now?
.482 miles for Kanto is that sq mi? Or just across
I was wondering this.
Auch I am so lost with the measurements
Yeah, sorry, but I'm gonna have to call bs on the entire video, as everyone knows (or should) that almost all video game worlds are massively scaled down, due it being completely unfeasible to make them their actual size. The only exceptions are those that use procedural generation.
I think you should recalculate now taht the games are out and you very easily can’t see from one side of the map to the other 😂
To be fair, the way scarlet and violet runs there’s no way that could have a draw distance that large without setting your switch on fire!
And I thought a liberal arts degree would be useless

this is the most obvious bot comment i've ever seen
Chiptide will you please adopt me
Bro what
If you reduced down the element of 'personality' in this by about 50% id say..........
turn it down a bit
Information/theory was kinda interesting though.
