This is part 1 of my Compilation of my entire pokemon fact series, that is likely coming to a close now. Its been such a journey creating these videos, and while my hunt for obscurity and intrigue in these games is far from over. I am planning to release a video in the coming week or 2 explaining the next step forward for the channel. But if you want a hint go watch my newest project - ua-cam.com/video/Qil4OpfOufU/v-deo.html I think if you have seen this you understand a little already. I am not good at social media, i like to leave bits of myself in a few paragraphs for you every once in a while. These fact videos helped my survive, pay bills and have an outlet of creating at least something. But ive reached a point where I am ready to create things into the world that matter more. I could continue to make these videos for years. There is still so much to find. But I care far too much more about what I feel I am here to do. this journey of pokemon facts being a great learning tool in many ways. And its time to put those tools into action, its time to chase, and push the wheel of what can be made on youtube. Thank you dear person who trusted me with your precious eyes and attention for these past years. I hope to show you, what I can really do. more info on the future coming soon gofund.me/99ae7d6d
Thanks so much for all your videos man, I've loved seeing the progression of your channel and seeing the increase in quality of production as you've grown. I'm looking forward to whatever you do next!
Thank YOU for all the entertainment and education! As someone who's played since red and blue, I thought I knew just about everything, minus competitive, about pokemon, and I was quickly humbled when I found your channel. You starting your videos with "did you know "x thing' thats been talked about to death and saying "Good." is iconic to me! Can't wait to see what you do next, it's always a good day when you drop a new video! Best of luck in your next adventure!
Where do I send tips. I have two related factoids about Pokemon Crystal that I have never seen online and maybe the only English speaking person to have noticed. I don't want to just throw it in the comments section as blue boy can make some awesome content and I would rather it not get scraped by another creator.
I feel like this channel is massively under appreciated in the Pokémon community like when he actually goes to Japan to film essentially a documentary for Pokémon gold and soul silver is unreal. You deserve every bit of exposure, love & credit. There is really no one like you in the Pokémon community.
I really like the way eevee's evolution is determined in yellow, it's like the game is adjusting its difficulty to your ability since when it comes to battling pikachu jolteon resists, flareon is neutral, and vaporeon is weak.
Just one correction. Mew (along with other certain mythicals) have a constant quest in pokemon go. if you had an account, the quest was automatically added and you can still do it.
I believe you can also obtain a Mew (and Jirachi) on every new save file of BDSP as long as there is save data from LGPE (and SWSH respectively). There’s an old couple in Floaroma Town. I imagine that since this is a compilation video, that clip is from pre-BDSP
Ive been watching Pokemon content for over like 15 years and its been so long since ive heard anything new. Not only did you have so many things that i had never heard of in this video but your editing, music, delivery, everything was perfectly paced and it all kept me invested. Absolutely incredible work. Thanks for this as another die hard fan you did something really special with this
1:32:16 yes it may be impossible without a wii with Pokemon ranch but, you can still in fact get a mew RIGHT NOW on pokemon go, all you gotta do is install the game and youll receive a research questline, this also includes celebi and a couple other mythicals, you can then transfer said mythicals to pokemon to home and send it over to a main series! Hope you see this phin, or really anybody lol
one oddity i've noticed is that in pokemon sun and moon, but not ultra sun and moon, if you have a zorua in the party when battling but not as your active pokemon and it levels up and tries to learn a move, it will say the name of whatever is in the last slot of your party when going through trying to learn a move
“So if you’re digging through some boxes, and find pokémon crystal in your old gameboy advance and happen to run into a shiny pokémon… Treasure it. Because it’s a message to remind yourself of that feeling of wonder and excitement you had on that playground, when things were just that simple. And in that moment, They are.” damn bro that was beautiful, so glad i watched this video. I love seeing people with the same passion of this game series that I have. Playing these games even as an adult still makes me feel like that little kid again, happy and simple and that’s something valuable not a lot of things can do for us nowadays. thank you for making this and reminding me I should go play HG/SS again 😂
Okay so yeah no. My first shiny in gen 2 was a freaking houndour. My first ever houndour. So of course I try to weaken it and wear it down and- nope it “roar”ed me. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT HAD ROAR (Although yeah I did go back and on a new game (I reset a lot) I apparently somehow got a shiny Friday Lapras so yeah 👍)
I really like the hidden bonus title screen in Scarlet and Violet that appears after you go to the Oni Mountain Crystal Lake with Terapagos in your first slot. Cool easter egg, and the title screen is neat too. It turns to a nice sunset and the book is back.
Y'know, I got the DLC and then completely forgot to play it. I know nothing about either campaign, I really need to fix that. How long would you say each one takes to beat?
there is actually another way to get a mew without buying accessories or a timed event! if you beat either of the pokémon let’s go games, you can get mew as a reward from an old couple in one of the first towns in pokémon shining pearl and brilliant diamond
Fun Fact: The Shuckle turning berries into juice thing from gen 2 is referenced in a filler episode in season 4 of the Johto anime, where there is a man that uses Shuckles shells to make juice. The only way someone would ever figure out to do that in the game was if they were an avid watcher of the anime in the early 2000's while playing the original game. Cool stuff lol.
Good as gold blocking transform specifically might be a nod to the idea of gold's purity as a noble metal. The ability blocks ditto from becoming fake gold, or fool's gold.
Pretty sure in Pokémon black and white there’s a certain day in April where there’s a hailstorm during icirrus city. There’s several storms during the winter there, but remember someone showing me one that’s a very heavy blizzard
If I had to guess, I would say that Fire Fang was intentionally left as the only move that bypasses Wonder Guard, as a fallback in case a Pokemon like Sableye or Spiritomb are hacked in to get it. Fire Fang is a move that already hits Shedinja, so in any normal circumstances, it'd be impossible to notice.
So the real reason why Fire Fang hits through Wonder Guard in Gen 4 is that it was the result of a coding error. There needed to be a way for Shedinja to make two-turn moves not fail on the first turn (eg Fly, Dive, etc.) because Wonder Guard would block it from being used in the first place. As such, two-turn moves were given a special effect ID that ignores Wonder Guard on the initial turn. One of these moves was Shadow Force, which had the effect ID #273. However, either due to a typo or new effects needing to be implemented in DPPt, the effect went to ID #272 instead. This ID coincidentally matched with a new effect: being able to burn and/or flinch on the same turn, ie Fire Fang. Because Fire Fang doesn’t have a charge turn, its “first turn” is its only turn, so Wonder Guard won’t activate and the move will deal damage normally. And yes, the Battle facilities know this information, so they will bring a Fire Fang mon **specifically** to counter a Sableye or Spiritomb with Wonder Guard.
@@glurak888 Tit for tat, there has never been a legal Sableye/Spiritomb with Wonder Guard. That being said, I believe in later Battle Tower floors, the AI will upgrade to the “Smart AI” tactics and choose which move will deal the most damage, which would be Fire Fang. The easy counter would be to bring a Flash Fire Pokemon, PP stall out the Fire Fang, and go on your merry way.
This deserves millions of views! Your dedication to this research and story telling is amazing! I miss your streams man, hope to see you back shiny hunting again soon!
You missed one in DPPt. When walking with Marley in the postgame area of victory road, if your pokemon's ability is Flash Fire, Marley will command her Arcanine to use fire fang on your pokemon. I only just discovered this a few days ago after having these games for 10 years
Generation 2 is my favorite and Crystal is my absolute love. I still have my cartridge. And yes, I remember the difference between the daytime battle theme and the nighttime battle theme. The day/night cycle was iconic and I saw it as a technical marvel back then.
I know it's been two months but I want to say, that Ruins of Alph video you made is one of my favorite videos ever! This video is also very entertaining but I had to do a double take about 20 minutes in, "hey, is this the Ruins of Alph guy?" Thank for making that, as well as this. Already learned multiple new things I never heard of before!
@@thepainsight well the fact was talking about early pokemon artwork that had features retroactively removed so it's likely that the oddity is venomoth had yellow spots on its early concept art and its sprite in Ruby and Sapphire actually has 2 unused shades of yellow in the colour palate which is found by looking at the code
The reason why a villager can ask for a Pokemon Pikachu but you can never obtain one is actually a very clever reference to how a real life Pokemon Pikachu 2 GS is $250 and very difficult to find
@@gabzpotThe Pokedex entry isn't mentioned in this video, he only says that he doesn't know why the mechanic exists. So I thought I'd explain why in case anyone else was curious. No need to be snarky.
Along the lines of owning all Pokémon games and getting Mew, if I recall properly, you could get a Mew and Jirachi in BDSP with a Pokémon Sword/Shield save
You can get Mew in Pokemon GO as a special research award which is part of your main quest lines. You can then transfer it to Pokemon Home and from there transfer it to other modern games
Bless you for this compilation. Obscure Pokemon game trivia strikes a perfect balance for me. It's stress-free, relaxing content, that is nevertheless interesting and engaging enough that I won't click off or get distracted. It's perfect for putting on in the background while I'm doing something else, and the long compilation means I can set it and forget it now.
44:38 Imagine if you're one of those people who likes to talk to every npc, you don't know about the bard, and you somehow meet the parameters to meet him. You think putting in words would result in a silly song but it results in a nightmare fuel-eque voice. I would probably never talk to anyone in Pokémon again.
great video, I got a chuckle at the shiny costume part where at the end youd said they were to the spirit of pokemon "mechanics and truth buried in subtle words and lightly hinted secrets" and all I could think was "Bitch, we had a whole book with pictures and a detailed guide" lmao
2:29 i don’t doubt this was an error. Someone must have erroneously changed the value of what animation the move calls when they were translating the game.
I remember the OR and AS shiny Beldum I used it as my starter! That was one of my favorite final memories of playing the games as it felt so cool having my favorite Pokémon in the series as my starter
Shuckle having a chance to make berry juice from a berry and the unused Shuckle in the cave holding a berry juice is most likely a reference to its Pokédex entry. It states that Shuckle stores berries in its shell, which are then fermented by its body fluids to become a juice that Shuckle consumes
I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY!!! As a kid I booted up Diamond and I saw the berry animation, I thought for the longest time I was trippin cause I never saw it again!!!
1:32:00 You can easily get as many Mew/Jirachi as you want in BDSP by having save data from LGPE/SWSH and receiving them as gifts early on putting them in Home and then resetting your BDSP save.
54:14 The reason fire fang goes through wonder guard is some kind of coding error. I don’t remember the exact one but it’s because it’s close to a certain move that also goes through wonder guard on the list.
The Battle Coliseum costumes still crack me up to this day. You are literally shiny hunting people. (Don't get me wrong though, it is very cool. Would love to see the others found and documented!)
Thanks for making these videos.. I found they helped me feel the same feelings of nostalgia I get every time I fire up an old Pokémon game. Thanks for reminding me how important that feeling is, too.
It's been YEARS since I've played Platinum, though I actually played it so much that I remember the weather changes on route 213. That's crazy, though!
@@BlueBoyPhin No problem! I've already seen all these, but these are so obscure and so long ago that I've forgotten most of them, so good to have a refresher.
I took a look at the trivia section on bulbapedia and it says venomoth's early art had yellow spots and ruby and sapphire's colour set for venomoth's sprite has 2 shades of yellow that are unused in the sprite. I'm guessing that's what the fact was.
Maybe not obscure but the animation for the move flame charge is defferent each time you use it in gen 5. The part that changes is at the very end of the animation.
love your videos so much phin, thank you for this wonderful compilation so i can relive some of my favourite pokemon facts that i discovered through watching you! super excited to see where your channel goes next, much love
The ending of that video has really hit me in the feels , you can't sum up Pokémon any better than that 😭, can't believe I've never seen your content before , Thankyou 😊
while watching this, i fell asleep and had a dream where i was watching you do one of these weird scenario videos, and you accidentally messed up the setup for one of the weird scenarios, resulting in a battle with an entei-rapidash-arcanine hybrid. you replied to this with, "looks like that didn't work" before it used some kind of exclusive glitched god move that immediately crashed your game
I love you. Side note, I noticed you removed the compilation video of all the shinies you’ve caught. Any particular reason? Would love to rewatch that.
A level 1 mew can be obtained in brilliant diamond and shiny pearl in floraroma town if you have save data from lets go you can also obtain a level 5 jirachi in the same place if you have data for sword and shield.
Wow, your last message about it being treasured when you experienced it, hit me hard. My eyes were getting watery. Life was simple and carefree, those were wonderful days. Thanks 💜
Okay, I don't normally comment on videos but I had to this time. BRAVO! There are SOOOOOO many "obscure facts about Pokemon" videos that reuse the exact same information. THIS video, however, has SO much information that I did not know about! THANKS FOR A TRULY WELL RESEARCHED AND INTERESTING VIDEO!!
Those little audio details in SV are so underrated. I know there were a bunch of issues with optimization at launch and graphic issues, but man, I loved and still love Violet. The game is great. People's expectations are just way too high. Redemption for GEN9
To this day I'm so mad i never, over the decade i've played White, got a shiny, yet got pokerus in a cave beside White Forest, and panicked, waited a week to do anything with it, and due to the real time clock, lost it
I may be a bit late to the party. But I want to thank you BlueBoyPhin. The message you gave us at the end of your video… I can’t explain it but I was in tears. It was a good cry, but I want to thank you for reminding me and encouraging me to seek out those valuable gems of the past when things were easier. When I get off work, I think I’m going to drag out my old dsi and replay platinum. If I find a shiny I will name it after you. Just to remind myself of your words of encouragement ❤
I think the reason the backlight Poketch App was going to exist was because if I remember correctly, when playing GBA games on the DS/lite with the GBA cartridge slot, it would black out the screen and only show up on one, so I think it might have been an app idea to simulate that but for Generation 4
With Slowbro, considering the circumference of the Shelder I can imagine if the left eye is on the opposite side of the shell, then it will be much further to the left and back, so it doesn’t seem off to me that it is not visible from that angle.
Regarding the wonder guard spiritomb there is actually a way to be hit and knocked out. I experienced it first hand while using one with wonder guard for fun to see how long my win streak would be. Well, I’m telling you I was not expecting it to end so violently but that Mold breaker head smash from Rampardos is still hunting me at nights ahaha

Pokémon Channel's Shiny Jirachi is a thing of the past. A simple search shows many youtubers that have obtained it and some even provide guides.
great video, I got a chuckle at the shiny costume part where at the end youd said they were to the spirit of pokemon "mechanics and truth buried in subtle words and lightly hinted secrets" and all I could think was "Bitch, we had a whole book with pictures and a detailed guide" lmao
2:29 i don’t doubt this was an error. Someone must have erroneously changed the value of what animation the move calls when they were translating the game.
I remember the OR and AS shiny Beldum I used it as my starter! That was one of my favorite final memories of playing the games as it felt so cool having my favorite Pokémon in the series as my starter
1:32:20 you can also get a mew if you have Let's GO Pikachu (probably Eevee too) and you then play BDSP you'll be gifted a mew by an old woman
I get excited every time you post. we’ve been spoilt and blessed today with over an hour of content!!
12:08 this is a very very good vieo but i do feel the need to point out that Dire Claw is very much a modern pokemon move
Did not expect that ending to be so impactful. Great video!
Shuckle having a chance to make berry juice from a berry and the unused Shuckle in the cave holding a berry juice is most likely a reference to its Pokédex entry. It states that Shuckle stores berries in its shell, which are then fermented by its body fluids to become a juice that Shuckle consumes
This video helped me through steam cleaning my apartment carpets. Thank you! Alot of really cool info i never even knew about
I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY!!! As a kid I booted up Diamond and I saw the berry animation, I thought for the longest time I was trippin cause I never saw it again!!!
This reminded me I have a copy of Battle Revolution. I might as well try to get one of those suits!
o7 best of luck, mate
1:32:00 You can easily get as many Mew/Jirachi as you want in BDSP by having save data from LGPE/SWSH and receiving them as gifts early on putting them in Home and then resetting your BDSP save.
54:14 The reason fire fang goes through wonder guard is some kind of coding error. I don’t remember the exact one but it’s because it’s close to a certain move that also goes through wonder guard on the list.
The Battle Coliseum costumes still crack me up to this day. You are literally shiny hunting people.
(Don't get me wrong though, it is very cool. Would love to see the others found and documented!)
26:30 that makes sense so you can get some more even match ups based on your skill level when fighting Gary
I love when title screens change after beating the game
I'm not gonna lie today has been a disaster but I used this video to relax to and it worked wonderfully. Thank you!
38:43 is that from the SEGA Bass Fishing sound track?
Thanks for making these videos.. I found they helped me feel the same feelings of nostalgia I get every time I fire up an old Pokémon game. Thanks for reminding me how important that feeling is, too.
I'll be sad when this series end. I'd always search pokemon facts time to time to see if a new video has uploaded, but I guess facts are finite.
Just wondering if you tried to teleport out of the Celadon Department store to see if it kept the met location?
It's been YEARS since I've played Platinum, though I actually played it so much that I remember the weather changes on route 213. That's crazy, though!
Shiny costumes were a perfect ending- crazy that was the last bit of info and not even half way through the video! Nice!
1:27:46 The Google lens scanning cover is no longer a support feature
subbed for that rock smiley you made! ☺ happy to be here. LOVE YOUR CONTENT
This puts into perspective how much was changed between 2d and 3d.
All the buildup for the Venomoth Oddity only for it to cut out.
I was so excited for it lmao
ah i didnt notice that, ill have to chop out that fact :/ heres the original if you want to hear it! ua-cam.com/video/6_CoM85VdV4/v-deo.html
@@BlueBoyPhin No problem! I've already seen all these, but these are so obscure and so long ago that I've forgotten most of them, so good to have a refresher.
I took a look at the trivia section on bulbapedia and it says venomoth's early art had yellow spots and ruby and sapphire's colour set for venomoth's sprite has 2 shades of yellow that are unused in the sprite. I'm guessing that's what the fact was.
literally the first sixty seconds im hit with something I've never noticed before. what an unexpectedly great start
Maybe not obscure but the animation for the move flame charge is defferent each time you use it in gen 5. The part that changes is at the very end of the animation.
love your videos so much phin, thank you for this wonderful compilation so i can relive some of my favourite pokemon facts that i discovered through watching you! super excited to see where your channel goes next, much love
The ending of that video has really hit me in the feels , you can't sum up Pokémon any better than that 😭, can't believe I've never seen your content before , Thankyou 😊
while watching this, i fell asleep and had a dream where i was watching you do one of these weird scenario videos, and you accidentally messed up the setup for one of the weird scenarios, resulting in a battle with an entei-rapidash-arcanine hybrid. you replied to this with, "looks like that didn't work" before it used some kind of exclusive glitched god move that immediately crashed your game
I love you.
Side note, I noticed you removed the compilation video of all the shinies you’ve caught. Any particular reason? Would love to rewatch that.
Legit have these long pokemon facts playing on my tv to pass out to much appreciated 🙏🏽
X&Y also forces you to catch the legendaries, speaking from personal experience here.
A level 1 mew can be obtained in brilliant diamond and shiny pearl in floraroma town if you have save data from lets go you can also obtain a level 5 jirachi in the same place if you have data for sword and shield.
Bro! Such an incredible compilation, such good music taste too!
It’s been a fun journey and I wish you luck on whatever you do next, thank you for all the facts!
i didnt realize this video was an hour and a half long but its almost over anyway and im not complaining so
Very obscure facts, and I thought I would know many (I in fact, did not).
Awesome video, a blast to watch.
Wow, your last message about it being treasured when you experienced it, hit me hard. My eyes were getting watery. Life was simple and carefree, those were wonderful days. Thanks 💜
Can't wait to see what's coming in the future
Okay, I don't normally comment on videos but I had to this time.
BRAVO!
There are SOOOOOO many "obscure facts about Pokemon" videos that reuse the exact same information.
THIS video, however, has SO much information that I did not know about!
THANKS FOR A TRULY WELL RESEARCHED AND INTERESTING VIDEO!!
Those little audio details in SV are so underrated. I know there were a bunch of issues with optimization at launch and graphic issues, but man, I loved and still love Violet. The game is great. People's expectations are just way too high. Redemption for GEN9
Real Jayson Tatum
To this day I'm so mad i never, over the decade i've played White, got a shiny, yet got pokerus in a cave beside White Forest, and panicked, waited a week to do anything with it, and due to the real time clock, lost it
I may be a bit late to the party. But I want to thank you BlueBoyPhin. The message you gave us at the end of your video… I can’t explain it but I was in tears. It was a good cry, but I want to thank you for reminding me and encouraging me to seek out those valuable gems of the past when things were easier. When I get off work, I think I’m going to drag out my old dsi and replay platinum. If I find a shiny I will name it after you. Just to remind myself of your words of encouragement ❤
hella appreciate the tower of heaven music usage :) feels like not alot of people know about it and it is a gem!
Another great video phin glad to see you still make some of the best pokemon content.
Now that is a bold title
I think the reason the backlight Poketch App was going to exist was because if I remember correctly, when playing GBA games on the DS/lite with the GBA cartridge slot, it would black out the screen and only show up on one, so I think it might have been an app idea to simulate that but for Generation 4
With Slowbro, considering the circumference of the Shelder I can imagine if the left eye is on the opposite side of the shell, then it will be much further to the left and back, so it doesn’t seem off to me that it is not visible from that angle.
Regarding the wonder guard spiritomb there is actually a way to be hit and knocked out. I experienced it first hand while using one with wonder guard for fun to see how long my win streak would be. Well, I’m telling you I was not expecting it to end so violently but that Mold breaker head smash from Rampardos is still hunting me at nights ahaha
The bard one is so scary for no reason😂
44:37 that sound in the middle of the night caught me off guard. i was glad it ended asap….. until 45:46 … the CELEBI silence was even more eerie
the slow.. text speed on top of that too. #sisterateanonion #sisteratecelebi
