    I bet I know what’s going on with the level 4 Bibarel and Staravia. Staravia is #11 in the Sinnoh regional dex, and Bibarel is #14. In the national dex, #11 is metapod, and #14 is Kakuna - kanto pokemon unavailable otherwise in Sinnoh, which would make a lot of sense as encounters for Fire Red and Leaf Green.

      @@FioFiorello I agree but this screams unfinished to me. Like whoever was working on adding the bonus Pokémon for Fire Red and Leaf Green was probably using a table to convert the Pokédex values to the internal values… and clearly they never finished, forgot about it and didn’t test it. I’m not sure how 4th gen games identify the 3rd gen version but that must have been programmed to apply to Fr/Lg and Emerald, although they should have programmed it differently. Perhaps they gave up because they were unable to differentiate between the 3 games in the code for whatever reason. Certainly tells and interesting story, however I still think it was a mistake by a developer.

    Here's a Gen 2 fun fact I don't know if you've covered. In the Goldenrod Game Corner in GSC, there's an NPC in front of one slot machine who says "I always play this machine, it seems to win more often!" You might think it's just flavor text, but this NPC is only there in the afternoon & night time. If you go in the morning, he's gone and you can use his slot machine, which actually does have a slightly higher chance of winning.
    I don't remember hearing this from any general "pokemon facts" videos before and I only learned it from reading a deep dive into the exact mechanics & probabilities of the game corner in different pokemon games :)

    The story for Jaclyn seems to go far deeper than you claim. Looking up Cycling Road In ORAS, Jaclyn was replaced with a Beauty called Melissa. Her pokemon is a lv.17 Goldeen where Jaclyn use to be.
    If you look back at Gen 1, Route 19 and 20 has Beauty and Swimmer Classes swimming. This means... Jaclyn swapped places with Melissa when she teleported to the Sevii Islands.

      The point, besides the fact that, yes, linking up to another game inherently makes the potential obscurity of the sprites irrelevant [good luck feasibly doing that in our current year of 2023 by the way], is that the OP comment was basically saying "If you've used Clefairy, Poliwag/Poliwhirl, or Geodude/Graveler, you'll have been bound to see these sprites through evolving anyway", when you cannot evolve Graveler alone
      And the issue of being alone is kind of the big deal here because that's why the sprites of these 3 are "obscure", because as Phin says in the video, you never find these 3 in the wild or from an NPC
      Although ultimately, the more interesting thing about the fact is it means Golem can never be registered as seen, let alone caught, in a solo copy of Red or western Blue, which I think makes it the only Pokemon in those games like that [there are plenty others in a given playthrough, but most of what ends up being "unseen" tends to be a result of player choice, meanwhile Graveler's always gonna have that blank spot beneath it unless you pull put the funny cable]
      I did specify _western_ Blue because, interestingly, in the Japanese version of Blue, you actually *can* get a Golem in a single copy!
      The old man in the Pokemon Lab who offers an Electrode for a Raichu in most other versions will instead offer a Graveler for a Kadabra

    There is a very not-well-known glitch in the Generation 3 Pokémon games, specifically Emerald (I'm not sure about R/S) where if a player trades a Pokémon between the GBA and GameCube, an un-growable Cheri Berry will just randomly appear on a patch of loamy soil near the Berry Master's house. It will overwrite the berry you have there (bad news if that's your only Liechi Berry!!) and never grow, staying in the seed stage forever.

In these scenes, there is of course your first rival battle. Well, the sprites used for the Pokémon actually match the data of your Pokémon and your rival's; in other words, if your starter was shiny, it'll also be shiny in the scene!

    I can't quite remember what was featured in it or where exactly I saw it as I was way too young, but I can recall this
    - I saw it at an event in Italy
    - Octillery would spout water on you and absolutely totally soak you, not even kidding, scared me as a kid x)
    - Yanmega would bat his wings against the camera and you'd feel the breeze coming from him
    - They attempted to mimic Pikachu's electricity by giving out small sporadic "wind hiccups" while he was doing the thing, but it just felt weird ahah
    - The glasses used were renowned for sometimes not working?? I clearly remember switching glasses with my father (he followed me in on multiple occasions to see the short) and he would check which one of the two would not work, and give me the functioning ones. They'd also force you to trash the glasses on your way out. I don't remember if we managed to smuggle a pair out by mistake but if we did we'll make sure to contact you with a picture ahah
    - The short included a "camera dive" into the ocean, where you could see the water pokémon in their "natural habitat". Can't remember how long it took up, but it was a sight to see in my opinion.

      Oh man, you remembered far more than I did! I happened to see it in the US. I only saw it one time, and I was only 7 or 8 years old, so I guess it makes sense I wouldn't remember it that well. Everything you're describing sounds accurate though. I'll put down what I remember about it here:
      My few main memories are of the "ride" portion of the short, with Pikachu & friends riding on Latias & Latios above the water and running into different Pokemon, then diving below and seeing all the Pokemon there. I believe it kept the pace pretty quick once the ride started, not dwelling on encounters with the wild Pokemon for too long. I especially remember Meowth's initial freakout of submerging, before saying he "forgot" it wouldn't be an issue on Latias & Latios. Meowth did a lot of commentary, which makes sense because he was the only speaking character in the entire short, so he had to basically say what every Pokemon was saying, and whatnot. Now that you mention the scene with Octillery, I remember the splashes of water being hilarious to my family. The sheer audacity to drench the audience for the sake of delivering the 4D experience was really funny back then, and it still is now.
      After looking online for what's around of the short, I see the treasure in the short was called the Wailord's Tear, which is probably why I remember a Wailord in the short. I seem to recall one making an appearance near the end...maybe guarding a chest on the seabed? Maybe unrelated to the treasure though, I can't remember for sure. I also recall some super cheesy song at the end...partially sung by Meowth, I'm pretty sure? Could be a dub thing. Actually, I would be very surprised if it wasn't.
      My parents took me there, and when heading there, I had NO idea about it. They kept it well under wraps, and lead me on into thinking we were just going to some furniture store (since I'm pretty sure the theater was part of a larger building), and I only learned there was a theater downstairs playing the short when I went inside and saw posters for it on the wall. Funny how I remember that more than the film! Guess it was one of those things that meant a lot to me as a kid.

      I was most surprised about reading that you saw it in a theater, no wonder they were better stocked with water! The amusement park I saw it at was simply having a pokémon event and as such didn't reeeally have anything of the sort, the movie was watchable from a small pokémon-themed makeshift tent (a big one, but still a tent). I can distinctly remember the water was more like a drizzle, it doesn't help that the amusement park wasn't a water based one either ahah

    I found a pretty cool one recently! In Crystal, you get the Togepi egg, and once it hatches, Prof Elm asks you to come to his lab.
    Well, I didn't. Instead, I waited until I got all 8 badges. Then he calls saying he has a gift (the master ball) for you.
    Once I got to the lab (with Togepi in party), I wondered which text would show first, either his surprised egg text, or his master ball text.
    Turns out the master ball text was first, so the most recent text is what was shown. Then I talked to him again (without leaving the lab) and the egg text appeared.

    its actually really cool to see a pokemon facts video with stuff I didn't know before feels like I've seen a lot of them that just reuse the same like 20 facts

    It's not often that I hear new facts about pokemon, but I didn't know about most of these! Love it!

    Psychic Jaclyn actually has the same name in Japanese across RSE and FRLG too. Bulbapedia says she is in Emerald, though.

    That last one was super nostalgic. I remember that connection blowing my mind as a kid

    In Emerald, you can tie in the Battle Dome (the elimination tournament) if the last Pokémon on both sides faints on the same turn (for instance, due to recoil damage). If that happens, the announcer will summon a referee that will rule which side is to be awarded a win.

    Thanks for another banger.
    Also, what happened to your mic? Sounds kinda off to me compared to other videos
