Love how we went from regi puzzles in gen3 to them deciding that taking the flute specifically given to capture god, to the only place in the region you could possibly conclude “hey, maybe god hung out here”, was too complicated for kids.
Emerald INGAME EVENT: Here Read Braille and use HMs, TMs, and items that are not normal used like this and make sure to come here with 2 Weird pokemon that you likely haven't seen one of them yet. Also Count your steps and do it on this specific spot. Platinum: Oh no The event that specifically say to go to a PLOT IMPOTANT Area once you get this item is too complicated for people to get. HGSS: Here take this Event Pokemon we just distributed go into this secret hidden chamber behind multiple puzzles and not seen or accessible until you have the flag this pokemon makes and watch a super important Lore Event we will retcon in two more games and never talk about again. Also we wont tell you about this.
Somehow, the Feebas bs or Braille puzzles in Gen3 were less confusing than getting the Azure Flute and just going to the place where you encounter Dialga and Palkia, apparently.
Fun fact: Eternal Flower Floette also had it's signature move updated graphically for Gen 7. It also had a unique Pokédex entry in USUM that you can legitimately view in-game by scanning a QR Code for it on your Pokédex
Honestly your Azure Flute explanation makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately that answer can't be used in interviews for obvious reasons so they had to go for one of the worst ones they could. In a world where the Regis exist, almost no task is too hard (especially if the task is "go to Spear Pillar")
Tbf galarian yamask is from the era of the internet being super accessible. I played diamond when I was six and when I was stuck it never occurred to me to ask my dad to log onto his big home computer to see if the info was online because it just wasnt so ubiquitous then. Its still dumb they thought kids wouldn’t get it, but yamask isn’t a comparable instance XD
@@KenBladehartI did so too. I just played in german. 😜 Jokes aside though my little brother got through eventually and he could hardly read at all. Funnily enough I got my copy of Blue made it until Fuchsia City (the place with the Safari Zone) and was stuck for a while and basically restarted the game with my little brother in his version Red to help him when he couldn't figure out a word. I at my 8 years learned "Gentleman" and "Teenager" this way as I didn't know these words either. Also playing as both of us was a good decision in general: When we played the same game together Papa would allow us to use the SNES (or rather the Super GameBoy in this case) in the living room.
Legends: Arceus finally gave the public a permanent and accessible way of obtaining Arceus. I’m confident that Z-A will follow in its footsteps and give us the Floette that’s been waiting for the last decade.
I'm sorry Masuda, you're telling me that the Azure Flute event got axed because "It would've been too confusing for kids to figure out.". YOU GO TO THE SPEAR PILLAR IN THE CLIMAX OF THE STORY! HOW IS IT THAT CONFUSING?!
I really hope we get to officially use EF Floette. It's been so long since she was introduced and she's been on the edge of being released so many times (plus Floette's one of my favorite Kalos Pokemon).
The Faraway Island event never being released outside of Japan and Taiwan with forever be a headscratcher to me. Was it because the release of DP is near, at least in Taiwan where the Old Sea Map was distributed from June to September 2006?
6:55 One problem though is that a Hall of Origin Arceus still activates the event even though HGSS came out after the Arceus event in Platinum, and can actually activate it a second time without Cynthia there if you already did the event with a normal distribution Arceus, which can’t be re-activated by a second distribution Arceus. So GameFreak actually planned for both to work, with an entire separate scenario for the repeat visit to boot
Yeah the excuse for the arceas event not releasing is dumb, since as a child my friend let me use his action replay and I gave myself all event items in platinum, didn’t know what the azure flute was, but I loved sphere pillar and would go there just to look at it all the time and by coincidence tried using the flute on the emblem, lo and behold I was shocked to find arceas at the top. Same thing happened with oaks letter too, just accidentally activated the quest to get Shaymin
The Arceus one is so weird. Because it's still referenced to this day. It's theme in Legends Arceus is a remix of a song that has never been officially used before
Well, at least unlike previous videos there wasn't a never realsed event in every Gen, only four of them, and nothing from the recent Gens made it in so they are getting better at getting everything in the game.
We were robbed of az’s floette. Hopefully in legends ZA lets us obtain it. You might be able to get mew in gen 3 with glitzer popping, Either directly or by giving yourself the old sea map
As kids we remember the Missingno glitch start to finish...but yes...taking a flute to Spear Pillar was too much! 😅 I always loved how the Hall of Origin is just above the Spear Pillar. It feels like Arceus was just sitting up there watching the battle with Team Galactic and didn’t give a damn 😅
For a second there i thought you would mentioned the unreleased events of the pokewalker that never made it outside of Japan. Anlther interesting thing that im not sure gets really talked about is how the poketch had some unreleased applications on there as people have found in the code. I do have hope that we will finally get AZ's Floette too!
Never liked event pokemon. Bunch of areas and content permanantly locked off the game (meaning waisted development time) that assuming it even happened, you had to win the post code lottery of being near a location that enabled it. I think the Celebi ones in HG/SS was the worst as that was important plot info that if you couldnt get the event celebii becouse you didnt live near where the promotion was, you never experianced.
Thankgoodness you can still transfer your shiny faraway island mew to other games without it need to be Japanese. Hopefully game freak doesn't care about it being non jpn/Taiwan or make another event with mew in future games that isn't shinylock.
It's clearly not the task of taking the flute to the pillar that's too difficult for players to figure out, but rather something that the pokemon company doesn't wish to discuss in case they want to use that again or something similar.
Even if people are a bit tired of getting legendaries in games with ease, i think they should do even more in-game events for those pokemon and include the mythicals too. Allowing us to explore and reward us for doing it, instead of just offering them by Wi-Fi events. These unreleased or forgotten events should return in a modern way to the new games.
I'm older than you? Damn didn't expect that. I'm going off you saying you were 5 when coliseum came out. My bad if that was just a random inaccurate number you threw out to make the point of being too young tho lol
Can we stop asking to get Azett's old friend that he spend three *eons* searching for to just shove into this new age computer storage system and never think about ever again? How does this make any sense? This is the opposite of the moral of this story. You are just greedy for no good reason.
How come I get extremely feminine/aimed at 10 year old girls ads on this youtube channel and only this one. Seriously, I don't get it (and don't say "It's based off your search history" I know, but nothing I do is feminine)
If I had to guess, the eternal Floette will become a regional form in legends ZA and may become the pseudo legend. Though, it may be a bit disappointing seeing these things float in crowds after the hype of maybe becoming a special event pokemon
Happy JPR Friday!! Thank you all again for 250,000 subs, I can’t believe we finally got here! Couldn’t do it without your support ❤
congratulations!! what a huge milestone, and here’s to many more!!
It's pretty crazy that the Arceus event wasn't released until BDSP
Congratulations

Then emerald clone glitch
Ever since hearing GFs reasoning, I always thought they could’ve just put a hint in the item description alluding to Spear Pillar
@@snintendog the backpedaling is real. XD
Somehow, the Feebas bs or Braille puzzles in Gen3 were less confusing than getting the Azure Flute and just going to the place where you encounter Dialga and Palkia, apparently.
That’s actually so funny to think about lol
Linneus made a whole video series about Pokemon's various food items and their associated side modes JUST to clown on GF's Azure flute excuse.
It is confusing ! The fact they didn't release it, i mean...
Maybe they realised those were too confusing and decided to dial back for Gen 4?
Some of the things Masuda says, man...
Fun fact: Eternal Flower Floette also had it's signature move updated graphically for Gen 7. It also had a unique Pokédex entry in USUM that you can legitimately view in-game by scanning a QR Code for it on your Pokédex

Yeah sometimes you can’t take what the devs say at face value, I doubt the real reasoning was as simple as “it was too confusing” 😂
"Azure flute would have been too confusing" is absolute bullshit, Galarian Yamask would like a word
Tbf galarian yamask is from the era of the internet being super accessible. I played diamond when I was six and when I was stuck it never occurred to me to ask my dad to log onto his big home computer to see if the info was online because it just wasnt so ubiquitous then. Its still dumb they thought kids wouldn’t get it, but yamask isn’t a comparable instance XD
@@Wurmze that is a good point, so might I bring up trade evos?
@@Wurmze Bruh, I played Pokemon Red without understanding a single English word. Still managed to figured out everything
the regis in hoenn...
@@KenBladehartI did so too.
I just played in german. 😜
Jokes aside though my little brother got through eventually and he could hardly read at all.
Funnily enough I got my copy of Blue made it until Fuchsia City (the place with the Safari Zone) and was stuck for a while and basically restarted the game with my little brother in his version Red to help him when he couldn't figure out a word.

Especially since it’s Z-A specifically and not just Z, Zygarde, etc. and Eternal Flower Floette was AZ’s Floette
Masuda could've literally said anything about why Azure Flute wasn't released, and he somehow picked the dumbest answer
In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, several Pokétch apps were meant to be distributed via events, but ultimately weren't.
I'm sorry Masuda, you're telling me that the Azure Flute event got axed because "It would've been too confusing for kids to figure out.". YOU GO TO THE SPEAR PILLAR IN THE CLIMAX OF THE STORY! HOW IS IT THAT CONFUSING?!
Wen Todd Howard does it, he gets memes, wen masuda does it, everyone still believes him 10+ years later.
IT JUST WORKS apparently
They didn't give us the flute because they didn't want people encountering a Shiny Arceus.
I really hope we get to officially use EF Floette. It's been so long since she was introduced and she's been on the edge of being released so many times (plus Floette's one of my favorite Kalos Pokemon).
Luckily these days we have worldwide connections so we don’t need to worry about these anymore!
Great video!

Bonus points to JPR for knowing how to pronounce the word “agate”.
0:43 its good to know that our lord and savior JPR doesn’t fall for the toilet paper plot that blinds the US
Resurrecting an event of a resurrected pokemon feels kinda morbid
250k is awesome!! Congrats 🎉
6:26 Thank you action replay for letting me experience all of these hidden events from Gen 4
Figuring out how to walk up stairs does seem like it would challenging to your average Sinnoh Stan.
you don't know how much it hurts to be a mew fan for eons I've never been able to get one legit
I’m so proud of you, man. I’ve been subbed for a few years now, it’s so good to see your well deserved growth.
If we don’t get an AZ Floette in legends ZA I will cry 😭 it’s a big need for me
6:55 One problem though is that a Hall of Origin Arceus still activates the event even though HGSS came out after the Arceus event in Platinum, and can actually activate it a second time without Cynthia there if you already did the event with a normal distribution Arceus, which can’t be re-activated by a second distribution Arceus.

4:46 Funny that video was recently uploaded and you watched it too
Yeah the excuse for the arceas event not releasing is dumb, since as a child my friend let me use his action replay and I gave myself all event items in platinum, didn’t know what the azure flute was, but I loved sphere pillar and would go there just to look at it all the time and by coincidence tried using the flute on the emblem, lo and behold I was shocked to find arceas at the top.

My Fridays are always a little better when that JPR upload drops. Congrats on 250k!!

5:09
This just sounds like George Lucas on making the Prequels
The Member's Card and Oak's Letter events never happened in Diamond and Pearl, despite them being programmed into the game
Yes, never let go the Azure Flute nonsense
As kids we remember the Missingno glitch start to finish...but yes...taking a flute to Spear Pillar was too much! 😅
I always loved how the Hall of Origin is just above the Spear Pillar. It feels like Arceus was just sitting up there watching the battle with Team Galactic and didn’t give a damn 😅
Damn, don't make me wishful for Az's Floette, that's a plan for disapointment.
You can actually unlock Eternal Flower Floette's Pokédex entry in USUM with a QR code.
The fact that Gamefreak does this at all is infuriating
Agreed!

Oh this is quite the pet peeve for me. Why dangle this in our faces if we can't have them gamefreak?!
Even without the Sinnoh remakes, Legends Arceus was a perfect way to compensate for the Arceus event getting scrapped 15 years prior.

The Azure Flute would've been too confusing? YOU MADE US LEARN BRAILLE IN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION!
time stamp is outrageous 10:06 them mid roll ads 😂
8:36 - 8:43 for what it's worth, Snarl is useful in competitive Doubles.
As a massive Chase Elliott fan I approve of your Larson shirt.
It's clearly not the task of taking the flute to the pillar that's too difficult for players to figure out, but rather something that the pokemon company doesn't wish to discuss in case they want to use that again or something similar.

0:01 I thought your shirt had a showdown logo lol
Nah I agree with them flute was too complicated.
I wonder how many takes of “hmph” were done
The greatest feeling in the world would be Jeff Gordon winning 9 titles like he deserved.
Arceus can now be obtained in BDSP!
Didn’t realize I was 10 years older than this guy lol 5 in 2003?
JPR, have you heard about any ereader events coming back to life?
Wait a sec... You're saying that I can get an Arceus right now on BDSP or was this for a specific date?
And I still can't get Meloetta if I don't live in Asia
Hope you're having a good day
I'm older than you? Damn didn't expect that. I'm going off you saying you were 5 when coliseum came out. My bad if that was just a random inaccurate number you threw out to make the point of being too young tho lol
Eight letter word that starts with an E... I don't know what that is, is it something similar to Action Replay?
Actually it's nine if you add ion to it
i don’t get it either lol
Looking through every BW and XY song to find the song you used in the beginning, anyone know which one it is? It’s at the tip of my tongue.
Dendemille Town!
@ Oh right I always confuse that town with Snowbelle (I always think that Dendemille is the name of Wulfric’s city)
Nice
Mewthree was screped from Pokemon XY games.
Hi Jpr
Good morning everybody good morning
its 9pm
