Pokémon fans are quick to bash Sinnoh for having a bad regional Pokédex, but not much has been said on what makes a good Pokédex. As a lifelong fan, I've got an idea of what makes a Pokédex stand out, and in my opinion only one region has ever truly perfected its Regional Dex.
This was a big shift for me, I've never had a video with this many little edits. It was a lot of fun to work on, I'm definitely thinking of making more like this in the future after my next Smash moveset video is done.
