Recent Developments in RBY's Lower Tiers

Ойындар

It's been a while, but lucky for me a LOT has happened in regards to RBY in that while, so today we're breaking down some recent developments that have shaken up the likes of UU, NU, PU, and ZU!
This video ended up being wayyyy bigger than expected, so much so that I was originally planning to cover OU too and ended up having to scrap it due to scope creep, but OU will absolutely be getting it's own video in the future!
Massive thanks to Shellnuts, Sabelette, Gastlies, and Gangsta Spongbob for helping with research for this video, and Sceptross for a lot of really fantastic insight into OU that unfortunately didn't make it into this vid, but I will be sure to mention in the future!

    @@keebs5780 Nothing happened to it at all. Moltres has always been in NU alongside Charizard and until recently Ninetales. It was never an officially OU-tiered Pokemon. Generally OU special attackers tend to enjoy having either huge bulk, or high speed; otherwise you get to be a niche pick at best. There's just too much holding it back from being a staple in the metagame (flying typing, inaccurate moves, competition from Zapdos, Articuno, and Cloyster, etc.) It's still good and I like it, but it's just not very consistent which is why it remains in NU.

    Wigglytuff is such an oddity of a mon, especially in relation to Clefable. Its early sprites basically just look like a coked-out Clefable, it somehow gets overshadowed by its pre-evolution even more than RAICHU, and it just doesn't really do anything in any of the games it's in. Even when it was gifted with the "ok yeah you're fairy type now" retcon buff that other pink normal types got, it's still saddled with a now mostly detrimental normal typing. It's a really unfortunate fate for such a fnuuy bnuuy.

    2:14 so the funny thing is something like the speed bit kind of did happen with RBY, except in reverse, and a really long time ago. Tauros is a rarity in Gen 1 as a pokemon that can only be obtained with randomized stats in the safari zone. Safari Zone pokemon have a chance to flee, and that chance is impacted by a pokemon's speed stat. This isn't the *base* stat either, this is the *real*, current stat, which can be impacted by DVs. Tauros is by far the fastest pokemon in the safari zone by default. It also has a low encounter rate and a pitiful catch rate. Getting a Tauros at all takes a decent amount of time, but getting one with a perfect speed DV is extremely difficult, especially because being faster makes it more difficult to catch because it's more likely to flee. Because of all these factors, it's not unreasonable to assume that simulators were the place where players first had reliable access to perfect safari zone pokemon, and especially 15 Speed DV Tauros. And you could basically consider that an increase of its base speed. There's other shenanigans in RBY related to the limited RNG and the sets of DVs that can possibly be generated, but I don't know how much they apply in this case.

    The fake out sponsorship caught me as off guard as a Hoopa-unbound being hit by an Iron Treads Megahorn lol. I was just ready to skip over it, but after skipping 20 sec i realized you were still talking about pokemon, so I came back to it to hear the worlds shortest sponsorship segment just to get hit with the "No TF you don't". Truly outstanding, Gargantuan Yellow

    I appreciate that, when you had updates to share, you actually put them in the video. Reading a video's description and it saying something like "Update: 14 days before I posted this, everything in this video was proven false. But I had already made the video and planned on uploading it, so oh well. And I didn't feel like editing anything in at the start or end of the video to say that. Hope you read the description LOL!" is rather annoying. Especially when you go into the comments and see that nobody read the description.

    Victreebel falling to nu and doing poorly is a great example of how I sort of address people complaining about things in gen 9 dropping to a tier. If a mon in a lower tier can do well in a higher tier, the reverse can happen. For me it was funny when ttar dropped to ru for a few months and people were like "how could this happen" meanwhile everything in uu and ou had some tech to beat tyrantitar

    it's kinda funny to me how many pokemon survive in OU exclusively because so many of the good ou mons have speed as a dump stat. so all the swords dancers, victreebel, poliwrath, etc all manage to carve out a niche off of 60-80 being just enough to outrun eggy and maybe cloyster and then you go down a tier and they absolutely cannot cut it where the opponent isn't likely to have 3 mons with a speed stat below 60

    It is like these games are that influential that they are still being played in some form even till this day. Imagine if stadium had online multiplayer or a whole remake of stadium 1 that had it and modern visuals. It would be the definitive way to play it. I was wanting to make a stadium 3 (based on colosseum/xd or gen 3's mechanics) that it can be a part of. Like a side mode if combined. Also anything with raichu in it is an instant like for me.
