Episode 3: Part 4 -- A Pokémon Retrospective Gold and Silver

Part 4 of Gold and Silver. SORRY For how long it took.

Also, WARNING: I talk about Dark and Steel, and It's pretty one-sided. If you love Steel and Dark, I'm sorry.

Excuse the abrupt ending, but it is really ONE video, just split into many parts. Really sorry.

What's wrong with Flying being in the Physical category?

[PKMNRetrospective]

@KingRaikou well it's not the Pokemon doing the flying (i.e. use of wings, which are physical) it's more of controlling the air-currents magically, which in my opinion would put them right up there with electric, grass, and fire. You know, Aero-Blast... Shouldn't that be a special attack? There is no requirement to use any physical part of the pokemon's body to launch it, right? Anyway, that's just my thinking. Gyarados is flying even though it's definitely not using any part of its body to fly.

Pupitar isn't Dark-type. Mew could have taken one down with ease.

[PKMNRetrospective]

@ShockTH456 I FAIL ...again!

[VeryHairyGreekMan]

Dark was named dark but it translates from dirty fighting or foul play in the Japanese versions so the moves like bite and sucker punch do make sense because they are a form of dirty fighting

[LozerClub]

Lol I got that "is a breeze for piggyoto here" pert xP made me laugh

[ShadowKaiserin]

Excellent reference to a name screw up in the first movie

Like you I also have an intense dislike for the whole Dark type. I always thought Wood should have been introduced as a type instead

@ 5:21

That Misdreavus is just floating by saying "Hey Phil, I'm a Ghost-type, and I'm not part Poison like the ghouls from last generation."

[KingRaikou]

@PKMNRetrospective Well, Aeroblast is a special move in Gen 4, but for some stupid reason, Sacred Fire is now physical, even though it never required Ho-oh to use it's body to use Sacred Fire.

How did Nintendo of America get the name of the fifth gym leader? Easy. CHUCK NORRIS!!!

[BrokenFWD]

these damn program errors, I kinda understood it in the originals but really how did the american Red Blue and Yellow get by with some of these. especially Focus Energy being the most useless move in the game because of this.
