I have no words, this guy's channel is an absolute delight
They fucking went ham on those hands holy shit
Always love high quality "existing music video, but with {series}" works. There's a rough translation in the comments (the song itself was unaltered so it doesnt really line up 1:1 with the game)
Love those manic Volo expressions
This person is good:Neat concept for a 3d game in the original art style:
Makes sense, Electric only has one weakness, Ground, which itself is weak to Grass, Water, and Ice. Once all the Ground is gone there's nothing opposing Electricity which is SE against Flying and Water, both which are SE against notable Types (Flying with Grass, Bug, & Fighting; Water with Rock, Ground, & Fire); Water in particular getting locked into a 3-way war with Fire & Grass (and since this simulation doesn't seem to take resistances into account Electric & Grass neutralize each other thus nothing changes in their interactions). Once Electric gets a solid footing it just needs to wait long enough for Flying and Water to start clearing areas so it can jump in last moment and permanently claim spaces.The result is some interesting dynamics: you get cycles of fire-water-grass like you would in the original RPS sim, that tend to take over large swaths of the grid. Somewhat surprisingly, electric dominates large regions (with what look like clusters of ghost?). Replies speculate that it is because of interactions with the FWG regions: once electric hits water at the edge of a FWG region it can eat it up. A similar effect seems to happen with flying, but it eventually hits electric and is eliminated. It would be interesting to see what would happen if fairy were added and Fairy-Steel-Dragon cycles became possible.
Ghost is also weak to dark.Makes sense, Electric only has one weakness, Ground, which itself is weak to Grass, Water, and Ice. Once all the Ground is gone there's nothing opposing Electricity which is SE against Flying and Water, both which are SE against notable Types (Flying with Grass, Bug, & Fighting; Water with Rock, Ground, & Fire); Water in particular getting locked into a 3-way war with Fire & Grass (and since this simulation doesn't seem to take resistances into account Electric & Grass neutralize each other thus nothing changes in their interactions). Once Electric gets a solid footing it just needs to wait long enough for Flying and Water to start clearing areas so it can jump in last moment and permanently claim spaces.
The purple swatches of non-Electric is Ghost as Ghost only has one weakness: itself.
I agree with you that adding fairy would only clear dragon out faster, and maybe even dark, which could lead to more ghost dominance than there already is.As for adding Fairy, I honestly don't see it changing much. Notice how Dragon isn't really that present, you'd think it would be at least like Ghost where there are some patches of it. But apparently its Ice-type weakness is enough to keep it from spreading. Adding Fairy would only get rid of Dragon faster (also helping clearing Dark & Fighting though those Types didn't need much help getting rid of), maybe let Steel & Poison spread, and then I think will ultimately either join the Grass-Fire-Water cha-cha or become Electric (MAYBE some becoming part of a Ghost patch).
After writing the above reasoning about ghost and thinking about it a bit more, I would guess that resistive matches are already taken into account if the algorithm is as follows: randomly pick a cell and check its neighbors. Any neighbors that are weak to the chosen cell are converted to its type, any neighbors that resist the chosen cell remain as they are. (To speed up the simulation I would guess many cells are chosen simultaneously, but perhaps given a random priority order to alleviate conflicts if two neighboring cells are chosen).What would really change things up is adding resistances (and immunities if it's also not considered).
As R_N said, the point of the simulation isn't to say anything about Pokemon, it's just a fun demonstration of pattern formation in an extension of a "classic" cellular automata by extending from rock-papers-scissors rules to Pokemon type matchups. If anything the point is to use Pokemon as a hook to get people interested in some of the neat things you can encounter in mathematics, for example by nerd-sniping people with a bit of Pokemon knowledge into puzzling over why some types form clusters and others don't. :)... BUT, with that all said, while an interesting experiment certainly, it doesn't really tell us anything. Even if they add Resistances & Immunities, anyone who takes a quick look at the Type Chart can tell it's not really "balanced".
Kind of reminds me of the grown-up drawings of Green/Blue when Sun & Moon revealed they had adult Red & adult Blue/Green:OP's Adult Selene and Lillie art pieces never fail to fill me with unparalleled joy
the one where they tweeted "in gen 9 you can fuck the pokemon" was even betterI'm not sure if this is high-quality, but it did cost $8, and I think whoever did it spent the money well, so that's got to count for something.

Yes, that would qualify as a fanwork.can i post about my favorit fanfiction novels on this post or is this not appropriate
I can't help but notice you seem to have a favortie genre.this novel follows an average pokemon enjoyer after he is teleported in the pokemon world...
this novel follows a person follows a person reincarnated as Brock from the anime...
this novel follows an zookeeper after he died in an explosion of an atom bomb and was teleportet to the pokemon world...
this novel follows office worker that trough his own stupidity made them self younger and transported himself into the pokemon world...
this novel follows average pokemon enjoyer after she is reborn in an pokemon world...
yea isekai especially reincarnation and overpowerd protagonists are some of my favorite genre. becose of this i dont really read many non iseakai pokemon fanfiction the only one that i read and find really interesting is https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13931794/1/Legendarily-Popular a fanfiction wher ashs legendary luck is increased to absurdity so that he has never seen a pidgie but has multiple legendarysI can't help but notice you seem to have a favortie genre.
