    In this video, I examine the phenomenon of the 3D printed or crafted aim assist device for Pokemon Go. A shocking number of these guides were created in 2016 during the height of the Pokemon Go craze.

    In 2023, Niantic thought changing remote raids was a good idea. (They were not)

      Pokemon go is supposed to encourage exploration. I don’t know anyone who plays the game but whenever there’s a Pokemon I really want I go out on the first day of the event in a populated area and can usually find a people to raid with. Before remotes raids that was the only way. Where I used to live, I ended up meeting people when Azelf raids first dropped and they invited me to their local discord group so we could corroborate future raids. The game is literally called Pokemon “GO”. For people who live in small towns, it’s time to take a trip.

    No but printing Pokedex phone covers for aesthetic purposes seems kinda cool

    The mechanics in 2016 were different from now, I remember having a specific catching pattern that would work for every pokemon. The first mention of a big change I can find is from February 2017.

      This is how I remember it as well, although it still doesn't make these devices particularly useful

    • @TheExcellentPokedex
      @TheExcellentPokedex  7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +2

      Definitely possible that the mechanics were a little more consistent back then. That said, most of the demonstration throws shown with these devices in the video aren't that good.

  • @SkilletToast

    I played pretty hardcore for the first few years of the game and I jever saw anyone using one of these. No wonder none of the companies still exist. It was a bad product that no one bought.

  • @ajet8284

    Really glad you mentioned their use as accessibility aids, although it was a brief mention.
    I feel like they usually were not marketed as such, but its sad when I see tools that could be a gamechanger for someone with a disability get dismissed as completely useless. I know a lot of gamers with disabilities!
    Guess it's just sad theres no ideal options for curveballing...

    • @TheExcellentPokedex
      @TheExcellentPokedex  วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      Gotta admit I didn't think of it until reading the comments on that Reddit post, so I have that blind spot too. I feel accessibility is very important (always try to include captions on these videos for instance) so I felt I had to mention it once I realized!

    I don't remember these; just that I found a perfect rhythm for an excellent curved throw every single time until an update about a week later.

  • @bentoeduardo1770
    @bentoeduardo1770 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

    Why would you even want to lower your chances of catching a pokemon? They are just making regular trows, if u spin the ball you actually get a higher chance 😔

  • @Epyxoid
    @Epyxoid 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

    Ahh, I thought you'd propose something better. I'm so intrigued by this mini game! Solving it would be so awesome! Like knowing the biggest excellent circle for each pokemon and the optimal release points for various throwing speeds, a release curve if you will. It's just so mysterious. I love it! 🔥

    • @TheExcellentPokedex

    I never heard of them back in 2016. The thought of something like this marketed for ppl blessed with motor control in the normal ranges did not cross my mind

  • @rafaelblasquez4492
    @rafaelblasquez4492 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    Wouldnt it be easier to use automatic gestures with preprogrmmed throw for an specific pokemon? The Timing would be the only Problem i see

    • @TheExcellentPokedex
      @TheExcellentPokedex  7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      You could definitely do that. Though honestly at that point since you're doing nothing yourself you might as well just go all the way and use a hacked client that gets Excellent throws every time.

    Really disappointed that you didn’t 3d print one and try it for yourself

    • @TheExcellentPokedex
      @TheExcellentPokedex  7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Honestly I did think about it but I didn't do it because
      1. The best possible outcome is... throwing a straight throw really well.
      2. I'd have to modify the models to work with my current phone and I am clueless about 3D printing. But I guess that could make a fun video in itself potentially.
      I do agree that it would make a better video storyline if I had though! :P

    The game in 2016 was different from now, the throw mechanics were not the same. Using something designed for essentially a different version of a game, 8 years later is pretty pointless.

    Curveball guides can’t possibly work, every pokemon has a unique distance and angle! My swipes look radically different for even companion pokemon like dialga and palkia. There’s no way a guide could possibly work. Unless you’re going to have a unique guide for every single pokemon species, and all the unique catch environments you’d find them in, a bulbasoar xxs guide, a bulbasoar xs guide, a normal bulbasoar guide, an xl bulbasoar guide, and an xxl bulbasoar guide, along with a bulbasoar dynamax guide, and each one of these will need a duplicate for various distances, and then repeat the process for ivysoar, and venusoar, who will also need a gigantimax guide. Then repeat that for the rest of the Pokédex. What’s that, like 60,000,000,000 guides? That’s practical…
