Over the years of this channel I made a video about why the difference between rock and ground type is confusing, things I think are weird about fairy type, and things that are weird about poison type. I thought about what else I could do, but no other types really had the 30 minutes of rambling energy to them that I needed. But I felt like after the poison type one it was kind of a series so, I could just do a little bit for every remaining type. And that's what this video is.
Here are the videos on my channel that I mention during the video:

youtube.com/watch?v=7Vi_4nwOI-Y
youtube.com/watch?v=EeqGEEZuqGs
youtube.com/watch?v=v7IDWnv21rk
and here's the video about psychic type from Wolfeyvgc, but it's not like just his video, the whole psychic type being really overpowered in gen 1 is a video topic you can find tons of this just talks about it becoming not that good later on youtube.com/watch?v=97kXYE8j9xQ
This video is a bit rushed honestly. I mean I have a date that it needed to be done by. I realized after filming that I messed up the segment on fairy I was supposed to talk about fairy's relation to food, or sugar, or whatever's going on with alcremie, slurpuff, and the bread dog. I even tried recording it to add it in afterward, but I realized I wouldn't have the time to edit it especially as the audio turned out not very good. And I made mistakes in that part anyway. Also there's you know, some types I didn't have much to say about. I guess that's also a flaw. Though I don't know if I could have come up with anything for electric even with more time. Oh more importantly I forgot to set OBS to record my mouse cursor. Normally its bad to do that but here it would have helped quite a bit and there's just nothing I can do to fix that.
I also have been imagining maybe there are people that think I should just write scripts for these. And I'm wondering if that might have been better. It would let me get things right the first time I say them and not make mistakes like missing that poison has 5 resistances. The reason I do them like this isn't because its easier than writing a script, it's because it gives me footage for the entire video. While making the physical special split video I had a lot of difficulty editing because I had to find something to put on screen for every second of the video. I eventually realized that the rock/ground video I had basically used b roll footage of me playing pokemon blue up to fighting Brock with a Charmander, whenever I couldn't think of something to put on the screen. So I thought I'd get footage for the whole video if I just had the information I was talking about on the screen already. I did intend for there to be more extra visuals added on top of what was on the screen. But I was worried about the time too much. There definitely are some, some of them took a fair amount of extra effort and I think are good. But would like to have had more.
