    When I started it was early Alpha and there were no guides, I figured "everyone would choose the mental" and therefore I would choose it's counter, the turtle. I was right in that everyone did choose Houchic, I was wrong thinking that would make my selection good however, I dumped my starter on the second island.

    Awww Crystle is so dang cute but I knew he was the lesser choice when he was the only starter you could catch wild in the first main release of the game. Very in depth vid, hey thanksss! ^^

    @werothegreat 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I went with Crystle, and it definitely does well in the first couple islands, but then falls off right about when you can catch a wild one. One other point in favor of Houchic is that in Kisiwa you can pick up Osuchi, and Osukai is an utter beast that seems to fit the same role that Seismunch does.

  • @Jerdz
    @Jerdz 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    As a speedrunner, I have to give my point of view.
    I have made multiple runs to try out each starter and that's the conclusion I made :
    The first island is full of electric tems despite the theme of the island, which make Houchic the least favorable tem to have, also knowing that no catchable temtem on that island resist electric which make crystle the best temtem on the 1st island (especially with the crystal dust synergies)
    The 2nd island is pretty even with the 3 starters, even if I have a preference for Smazee and his trait which boost attacks for every ember he gets (and that happens a lot) although this island is mainly cleared with a noxious bomb user (Ganki the god) Houchic can be super useful also to clean the numerous Skuchs which are hard to defeat (hello Belsoto in the Volcano)
    The 3rd island is for Baboong, Uppercut rules and destroys everything, especially with the brawny traits.
    By the 4th island you should have a Valash, and an Adoroboros, so no need for crystle or houchic anymore.
    Therefore Smazee is (by far) the best starter !!!
    (there is other reasons but the longer I write the least amount of people will read ^^)

    • @Jerdz
      @Jerdz 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@urkerab Gyalis is super flawed for multiple reason :
      n1 : it is a 5% encounter rate which isn't ideal when you're speedrunning
      n2 : His only melee move is Double Gash which is base 49 dmg (low compared with uppercut)
      n3 : its trait resistance is OP in competitive but have very little value for a playthrough,Baboog Brawny would be much better
      n4 : You will be much likely to use it for the 3rd and 4th island, but the 4th island has quite few earth tems who will threaten your gyalis
      I can go on for each melee tems :
      Skunch : only hold melee move (without eggmoves)
      Osukan : (Osukai leveling like crazy and overall available too late / many weaknesses cause earth type)
      Mushook : Not catchable, need a mushi and it takes time to evolve

    i just picked up temtem a couple days ago and i've already dropped ~17 hours into it. i beat the first dojo and i've been grinding a lot using the ganki/nessla combo. now i'm wondering if i shouldn't have picked crystle lol.

  • @D00M3R_MAVS
    @D00M3R_MAVS 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Subbed.
    Just got this game. I always go for dark/ghost/psychic type mons, although they never seem to be starters. Gengar and Litwick being my two alltime favourite Pokemon (Aesthetically, although Gengar is one of my favourites in game as well)
    With this in mind I'll probably pick the corresponding starter in TemTem, as we actually have one as a choice here.
    I might go with the lion though, I just need to find out more.
    Can they all be obtained later in the game anyway?

    • @peshomighty5051
      @peshomighty5051 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Me too. I love shedinja and ghost types I choose crystle and don't use water temtem. Every island is super effective to water temtem. Using piranant, or oceara or platipet or nessla is a trap.
      Fun fact about the ai even if you have a nature temtem like kinu and a second temtem that's weaker by 4 levels, the fire type tem targets the weaker mon ignoring the kinu which is super effective. I like Golzy with Voltaic Charge (restores health when physical move). Tulcan(of course I evolved my tuwai duh).
      the gift temtems Cerneaf, Vulcrane(actually ok it kinda looks to much like a human but it's a great earth tem), nessla, loali, piranant.

  • @justinsarcedo9355
    @justinsarcedo9355 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Tuwai is my favorite because it allows you to have alternative typings as my first.

    Crystle has a awesome final evolution.

    i get it that video was before cipanku but judging from my gameplay and my team and the game crystle when it evolves into tortenite it will be an ideal tank for your team and fun fact its crystal spikes attack does a significant amount of damage i didnt expect from it...plus it helped me with its signature move tortenite's garden to decimate and easily beat with only 5 healing items general x and not give it in easily as i would with the other starters..i know all of them are cool but tortenite in my opinion is the best especially for starting players or even the most experienced who know how to utilize their gameplay style...as i said my opinion but ye i accept your opinion as well :D

      Last time I played, that things final evo was easily the best out of the 3.
      Good stats, good ability, and great typing.
      Dunno where Crystal stands and I'm pretty sure Smazee was also very decent.
      I talk from a PvP perspective but from experience in Pokemon and Dark Souls I can say that PvP metas tends to translate mostly well to PvE.
      If something is good against a human then it'll likely be decent against an AI.
      Crystal dude tanks, Mental one is special offence and the Monkey is physical offence.
      I'm super picky when it comes to style so Smazee was the only real choice for me given its final Evo looks the nicest to me.

      Crystal is sorta the cheese pick and it'll get you through the first Island pretty reliably but that's not to say it's the only choice to make the game easy.
      A wind/electric type exists on the first Island that will easily overpower the first Island because of it's offence.
      Little guy is a bit too cute for my tastes but it's usefulness is undeniable even beyond the first Island.

      I ended up using the first route 1 bird, rodent, Crystal and the gift bird to get me through the first Island.

    Does not matter that much. You will not have a perfect temtem from the starter. I think i just released my starter after getting to the endgame. And the "best" starter i would say is seismunch, but as you say houchic might have the bigger advantage early on. You will however have no problems finding other good mental temtem before getting far into the game, but you'll not find other temtems that are earth/melee. But the real reason i would but seismunch before naganis is because of the earth move he can use every second turn that hits the entier enemy team. While he got hellicopter kick as a first move that also hit the entier team.
