I recently (as in literally about a month ago) found another pokemon fact that has gone unknown since the FR and LG remakes of gen1. There is dialogue from Prof. Oak that occurs during your first battle with Gary after you pick your starters. There are dialogue options for every conceivable action you can commit in a battle, but there are dialogues that occur ONLY if you have hacked the game in certain ways (like using a universal randomizer to make your starter immune to Gary's and randomizing the potion in the PC to other healing items). One such collection of extra unseen dialogues are: - Oak comments on you switching to a second pokemon when your first pokemon faints. - Oak comments on you using Pokemon that resist your opponent's moves. - Oak comments on you putting status conditions on a pokemon. (There may possibly even be dialogue for every single action possible in a battle)
Guy who sent in his copy of Pokemon Ruby to get it patched here - I remember reading some kids magazine back in the day where Nintendo ran an ad asking players to sent in their game. I think it was related to the internal clock of the game, after a year or so the clock wouldn't work anymore and no more berries could grow in your game. I had my parents send the cartridge to Nintendo (Germany in my case) and shortly after they returned it. And like you mentioned, a shiny Zigzagoon holding a rare berry, otherwise unobtainable in the game, was newly added to one of my boxes. So yea, shit worked :)
On a slightly related note: Nintendo would allow anyone who screwed up the infamous "tweaking" or "Surf glitches" from the Gen 4 games (the latter only working on the Japanese copies) to send in their games and be hacked out of the black void. This is because while if done properly, the glitches were very safe, if not done properly, you could have been stuck in the void forever.
Same here, i remember reading somewhere u could send in your ruby/sapphire carts so berries would start growing again, however i clearly remember it didn't say you'd get a shiny Zigzagoon, but 'a special pokemon' (Dutch translated magazine, as I am Belgian) & i actually anticipated something way rarer (like a Celebi or the thing u needed to get to Deoxys) so i was quite disappointed, however I did evolve it into a Linoone (i think it had orange lining?) I even think it did have a move/ability it normally couldn't have? I'm not entirely sure though... We're talking about 14 years ago here or something
I have a fact for you, you might not know yet: In Gen 8 some of the German names of Pokémon attacks were changed, to make more sense. E.g. Pound was called "Pfund", which does translate to Pound, but refers to the unit of measurement or the currency. It is not called "Klaps" which is a light slap.
Klaps ist Pfund? What, they finally fixed it and I didn't even realize? That mistranslation has annoyed me for so many years, omg hearing this makes me so happy now! 😂
@@eminentstir As a child I legitimately assumed "Pfund" might be an outdated synonym for "Schlag" or "Hieb" (Punch). Luckily, I never got into the awkward position of actually using it that way and being met with utter confusion. Unlike the move Kratzfurie (Fury Swipes), where I thought it meant "a load of swipes" and once said "Furie" instead of "Fuhre" (load), not knowing about the Greek/Roman goddesses of vengeance, called Furie/Furien (fury/furies).
I’m an American who has learned a decent chunk of German so I like to play Pokémon in German and I was so confused about that. I was like “I thought Pfund meant like weight but I’m not German what do I know” 😂
The reason for Gen 4's script having internet humor scattered through it isn't just because of the timing. One of the people on the translation team, Nob Ogasawara, frequented the SomethingAwful boards and there's actually a few direct references to that site sprinkled around gens 4 and 5.
also, the drifloon pokedex entry was explained by legends! drifloon doesnt intentionally kidnap kids, it just wants to play and doesnt understand that its friend has to go home. its basically just a child-
@@LucianeTorres-vc9oi if you have a gba cart in the ds your able to find tons of gen 1 Mons in a few different locations, hope that made sense, happy holidays!
And here is one more fact, that you might not know. In theenglish Gen 1 Games, Mewtwos Cave is called "Cerulean Cave", in the Japanese games its name translates to "Nameless Cave", both can only be seen in-game by talking to the NPC that blocks the Cave and when opening the Town Map inside the Cave (its not on the map if you are not in the cave).

@@LRM12o8 Black Charizard is boring. It's not even good _for_ a black shiny. Even fucking _Camerupt_ looks better in black than fucking Charizard does. Purple Charizard has always been where it's at.
I'd always thought that I'd misremembered or been mistaken that the colours in my Gold version had been distorted by fishing once. Really cool to know that it is known as a glitch dimension - younger me was scared that something had broke or that I'd reset something really cool.
Still super sad that black and white didnt get any appreciation until a few years after they released. I absolutely loved those games and it really did feel like the best experience.
It's likely been addressed already but at 20:30 you'd said Sun and Moon but showed the stats for X & Y. All around a fantastic video as always, and I personally love the longer ones as I can listen whilst I get things done around the house lol. Thank you for everything you do here!
In earlier games when breeding pokemon you could have a male and a female of that pokemon species know a move that the species learns later and the egg will hatch with that move learned. Not like an egg move but just you can farm down entire move sets of the higher level moves. That explains why some pokemon can be seen knowing moves at earlier levels.
Fun fact the orange Poketch thing got explained in the Pokémon Adventures manga, it was custom made for someone else entirely. Basically, in the manga, Platinum (Dawn) is the daughter of some super rich guy who hired bodyguards to protect her on her journey, and she was told they would be wearing red and green scarves because that should be specific enough, right… except Diamond (Lucas) and Pearl (Barry) also wear red and green scarves, friends who had just won a prize for a standup comedy contest, but before they opened up the envelope with the tickets to find out what it was (a free guided bike tour of Jubilife City), and due to some circumstances they bumped into Platinum’s dad and got the envelope mixed up with the envelope in which Platinum’s dad had the top secret details and contract and whatnot for the bodyguards, so Diamond and Pearl open up this envelope and see something about a trip to Mount Coronet with a crazy high “bounty” and assume it was some sort of crazy luxury trip with a huge cash prize, while Platinum meets up with them and assumes that her father must have found some incredible skilled preteen bodyguards so that nobody would suspect anything and think it was just three friends on a journey, and Diamond and Pearl are given the Poketches, Pokédexes, and Starter Pokémon that had been prepared for the bodyguards, and they set out on a journey together with Diamond and Pearl convinced that Platinum is some weirdly demanding and pushy tour guide, and Platinum convinced that Diamond and Pearl are these expert bodyguards who are so clever that they act incompetent and unaware as a cover story and that their standup comedy consisting mostly of Pokémon puns are a secret training exercise, and the whole thing is hilarious and wholesome and if you’re ever going to read the Pokémon Adventures manga I’d say read the Diamond and Pearl arc and Platinum arc because I love these three dumbasses and you will too
oh oh oh! with the joycon thing, it just takes the hex code of what your joycons are and applies them accordingly. i only know this bc i got a custom case and changed my joycon hex codes to match and they showed up like that in game. super cute touch!!
Yeah that booger salmon used to bother me as a kid. Granted, as my English got better I stopped noticing such things. But to a child who just recently started learning English, this was indeed weird.
Interesting enough I was surprised to find a flying Garchomp near the Pokémon league in Pokémon violent the other day. It was flying above the great crater directly while I was battling it, my Pokémon actually fell into the crater during the battle and the battle continue, and it was kind of ironic because whenever the Garchomp would attack it would have to travel down to attack it
Fun fact about a fact in this video, the text displayed for taking no damage in Bianca fight, is impossible to attain on an authentic, unmodified cart.
on the topic of Pokemon names that mean things in other languages - Sandile is actually a common male name in South Africa. it means “we increased” in Zulu, Ndebele and Xhosa.
I remember getting that shiny Zigzagoon through a kiosk at Gamestop. I don't remember how I ever heard of it to begin with, but clearly younger me was severely misunderstood as to what I would be getting. I misread the prerequisite of needing to obtain your starter pokemon as me thinking I'd be receiving my choice of one of the other two starters. Needless to say I was confused as hell why I got an off colored Zigzagoon (yeah there's the other kicker, I didn't know what shinies were yet despite previously playing Gold version and catching the red Gyarados), so I took the Liechi berry and released the thing 😭
Back then i only knew about shinies because we had a game shark where one option was to encounter only shinies, not sure if the option really called it "shiny" though. I thought the red gyrados was even more special, like a legend, so we all thought there must be a secret area or something were you can encounter all the other off color pokemon since the cheat existed. We had no clue that they are just extremely rare encounters.
55:31 at least in BDSP, this magikarp has a lum berry, and is the easiest way to get it, so if you want a lum berry, either bc held full restores come in handy or you're trying to get all the berries, that magikarp is the way to go
There is a glitch city glitch in Links Awakening as well that causes a strange color palate swap and it creates a rather cool brown forest-like sepia tone effect that can be permanently applied to the game if saved. In order to activate it you have to be using emulation and use rewind over and over til you see the error code "this game must be played on a gameboy color"
I did love the random trivia videos, some stuff I knew and some stuff I didn't, was a cool mix of interesting facts that I both knew already and learned
Regarding getting stuck in a pokemon game, I was stuck for several days in my first run-thru of Sapphire but it was due to my own stupidity. In my defense, I was only ten at the time lol. So right in front of the trick house, where the cycling road's bridge stretches over the route, I didn't realize you could go UNDER the bridge. I paced back and forth and went to the left instead, battled every trainer, tried to interact with trees, etc... Finally I accidentally clicked too far and went under the bridge.... Yeah... I was pretty embarrassed LOL
12:00 I can't confirm if it's everytime but the Pikachu from yellow version, when traded to gen 2 carries a light ball. I remember it happening when I did it as a child but only did it once
This has worked in every game right up the present generation (well, Gen 8 at least). In fact, this was the best way to force horde battles in Gen 6, which could allow for up to 50-60 EVs at a time.
I had something similar happen to me to the Dustox Poison one where I evolved a Tyrogue who was paralyzed into Hitmonlee and it was still paralyzed despite now having Limber, which prevents Paralysis
39:52 NOT TRUE. That Ludicolo doesn't know Shadow Ball, it knows *Nature Power*. It's a very rare move which turns into other moves depending on the invironment. Nature Power turns into Shadow Ball when used inside a cave (which Victory Road is).
I think it was related to the internal clock of the game, after a year or so the clock wouldn't work anymore and no more berries could grow in your game
I think part of the challenge of the game is being limited to both six Pokémon and four moves per Pokémon. Makes you strategize better. I feel like increasing either would make the game slightly easier. IMO, part of the hours of fun is the challenge.
Fun fact: 雷 (kaminari) is generally translated as thunder, while イナズマ (inazuma) is generally translated as lightning. So that's the difference between them. In Japanese, the words have completely different origins and have been used differently.
Idk man, trading that Slakoth for the Makuhita in Gen 3 is something ive always done. Yes, Makuhita isn’t rare but I always found having him early and also getting boosted EXP was extremely helpful
9:56 this remained the case until Generation Five. A more interesting fact would have been: "Unova was the first region to have all of its towns and cities use a unique theme." Johto had Violet/Olivine, Azalea/Blackthorn and Ecruteak/Cianwood however that last one was reimagined in HGSS Hoenn had Mauville/Rustboro/Mossdeep and Oldale/Lavaridge Sinnoh had some pretty obvious ones like Solaceon/Pastoria, and Celestic/Eterna All Unovan settlements have unique music, although I'm not completely sure about routes off the top of my head and I'm not going to check.
I still have my Kyogre Coin and even know where it is! Kind of an impressive feat given I was still in grade school when the games came out! I also purposely went into Scarlet and Violet completely blind to any pokemon not officially revealed- it was wonderful! I had forgotten that sense of wonder! Even if I did realize I missed a couple shinies because I didn’t know the Pokemon weren’t supposed to be that color.
Yo I remember that Ruby and Sapphire bookmark. They had a ton of those in the library at my school during the X and Y era which is very interesting. I remember everyone had one too. I was one of the very few people who actually knew what games they were and actually could name all the Pokémon on them too. I probably still have mine laying around somewhere 😂
I had some too! Only I had them before Ruby and Sapphire released. I think my grandmother got them somewhere and gave them to me. I had plenty to hand out to friends and I remember liking how they smelled for some reason 😅
38:38 Do you know what Pokemon is literally THE BEST Pokemon in the series? it is none other than the parasitic Pokemon Paras, as it translates into Best in Finnish. also being a kid in Finland and naturally learning Finnish as my mother language. i honestly thought that both Kanto and Johto regions were some stupid Finnish translation things, until i learned about that they were an actual thing from Japan instead.
I had some of those gen 3 promotional bookmarks! I think my grandmother got them somewhere and gave them to me. Like I had a good few of them and gave some out to friends at school. Thats how I learned gen 3 was coming out and I was pumped!
Got my shiny Mudkip while watching this video in pokemon ruby. Shit was hype and I enjoyed listening to the many things I didn’t know about in these games.
Faint versus Feint Attack: A "feint" is a movement designed to trick the opponent, and so, like many other dark type moves that are based on trickery, it's likely that it should have always been spelled feint instead of faint.
Yep. This was a well-known spelling error, even back in Gen 2. GF even admitted to it, they just didn't fix the spelling for over a decade because... reasons... possibly because they also introduced Feint as a move.
i don't think people could get the regi dolls in western versions of Ruby and Sapphire, and instead needed a version of Emerald to trade records with a japanese Ruby/Sapphire that scanned the e-reader card, then trade records between a Japanese and Western version of Emerald, then trade records with the western emerald with other Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald players an doll trader apparently gains a regi doll. also Unova's region's name was called Alleos in some early british materials. also, Unown in generation 2 could only be shiny in their I and V forms, which coincidentally the same as the abbriviation for Individual Values.
27:50 Why does Groudon introduce a negative number in the heavy ball catch calculations? he is one of the heaviest pokemon there is and from what I have found his weight should give him a +30 bonus to his catch rate so his catch rate should become like 33. So how does that number become negative? But Beldum i get because he gets a -20 to his catch rate which results into -17.
The reason they changed “fAint attack” to “fEint attack” is because of the words definition… feint is making a distraction movement while typically fighting …since they do a fake thrust first to get the pokemon to dodge one direction first it never misses. While faint attack should by name be a OHKO
That would be cool if or when they would re-introduce berserk gene they would make it like pokerus where you would randomly get it and once you successfully defeat 10 Pokémon just get a permanent +2 to attack with no confusion but if you don’t successfully defeat 10 Pokémon wall, confused it resets so we get some incentive
59:17 I was gonna make a comment about how Archeops doesn’t fit in the ‘cold blooded vertebrates’ category, and I ended up going down a massive rabbit hole based on its design… Okay, so it’s based on a dinosaur named _Archaeopteryx,_ which has been referred to by many as the first ever bird species. However, in more recent years, paleontologists have reclassified it as a nonavian theropod that is closely related to the ancestors of birds, but not a true bird itself. And when I say ‘in more recent years’, I mean when Archeops was created, I believe _Archaeopteryx_ was generally still considered an avian dinosaur and ancestor of birds, it was only in 2018 that it was reclassified. For reference, avian dinosaurs are simply just classified as birds. Although, it’s actually more correct to say that modern birds are classified as avian dinosaurs, basically, they’re one and the same. However, while we obviously know that modern birds are warm blooded (because we can observe them), it’s not as clear exactly how dinosaurs regulated their temperatures. It’s been a subject of debate in paleontology for a very long time, but in more recent years, evidence seems to be pointing towards a lot of them being warm blooded. Basically, it’s hard to classify their metabolisms, as many species studied would’ve had to’ve had much faster metabolisms than modern cold blooded species like reptiles, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they were warm blooded either, as their estimated metabolic ranges still don’t even come close to that of mammals and birds. In _very_ simplified terms, it takes tons of energy to fly, and in order to be able to expend that much energy regularly, with our current understanding of metabolisms, they’d very likely have to be warm blooded. This is further reinforced by the existence of proto-feathers and even true down feathers on many dinosaur species which would’ve been used for insulation, something that is detrimental to cold blooded species. Essentially, any dinosaur that had feathers very likely wasn’t cold blooded. We still can’t say for certain that they were warm blooded either, but their metabolisms had to’ve been completely unlike anything alive today if they weren’t. So yeah, I was just gonna comment that the Dewey decimal thing was a massive stretch and Archeops belongs in the ‘bird’ category lmao, and I ended up going on this deep dive into evolutionary biology and the (awesome) inspiration behind Archeops’ design. It’s based on a dinosaur that was thought to be one of the oldest bird species ever discovered, except it’s not actually directly related to modern birds and just an example of convergent evolution amongst competing species. Actual true birds did exist at the time, _Archaeopteryx_ just wasn’t one of them despite having feathers and wings just like them. And while it wasn’t a bird, it was probably still warm blooded along with many other dinosaurs. So confusing.
36:46 sounds like they were ahead of the time, the feature of the alola version got added later so honestly they turned down something that they added later
>>"The trees look like buff men flexing." >>Pause the video and stare for 30 seconds to try and see it. I feel like I was trolled into stopping the video now.
5:42 I think Wal-Mart had a pack that had the game and the matching coin in them back in the day. I bought one of each and had both coins. I definitely didn't preorder the games.

on the topic of Pokemon names that mean things in other languages - Sandile is actually a common male name in South Africa. it means “we increased” in Zulu, Ndebele and Xhosa.
And Sandile gets Moody which increases its Attack stat after defeating an opponent 🤔🤔🤔

I remember getting that shiny Zigzagoon through a kiosk at Gamestop. I don't remember how I ever heard of it to begin with, but clearly younger me was severely misunderstood as to what I would be getting. I misread the prerequisite of needing to obtain your starter pokemon as me thinking I'd be receiving my choice of one of the other two starters.
Needless to say I was confused as hell why I got an off colored Zigzagoon (yeah there's the other kicker, I didn't know what shinies were yet despite previously playing Gold version and catching the red Gyarados), so I took the Liechi berry and released the thing 😭
Back then i only knew about shinies because we had a game shark where one option was to encounter only shinies, not sure if the option really called it "shiny" though. I thought the red gyrados was even more special, like a legend, so we all thought there must be a secret area or something were you can encounter all the other off color pokemon since the cheat existed. We had no clue that they are just extremely rare encounters.
😂
55:31 at least in BDSP, this magikarp has a lum berry, and is the easiest way to get it, so if you want a lum berry, either bc held full restores come in handy or you're trying to get all the berries, that magikarp is the way to go
PaPaSea, you have one of the most soothing voices!!
There is a glitch city glitch in Links Awakening as well that causes a strange color palate swap and it creates a rather cool brown forest-like sepia tone effect that can be permanently applied to the game if saved. In order to activate it you have to be using emulation and use rewind over and over til you see the error code "this game must be played on a gameboy color"
"Gold and Silver were meant to be the last games in the series."
Well, folks, hindsight is 20/20.
that bootleg pokemon diamond on gbc wasnt actually too bad. I remember getting it somehow as a child and enjoying it
Remember you can meet Rhyperior in the Battle tower in Emerald.
I where so suprised because you couldn’t catch or get that mon
I did love the random trivia videos, some stuff I knew and some stuff I didn't, was a cool mix of interesting facts that I both knew already and learned
Regarding getting stuck in a pokemon game, I was stuck for several days in my first run-thru of Sapphire but it was due to my own stupidity. In my defense, I was only ten at the time lol.
So right in front of the trick house, where the cycling road's bridge stretches over the route, I didn't realize you could go UNDER the bridge. I paced back and forth and went to the left instead, battled every trainer, tried to interact with trees, etc... Finally I accidentally clicked too far and went under the bridge....
Yeah... I was pretty embarrassed LOL
35:30 the shiny Pokémon hatched from the odd egg will always have hidden power grass
12:00 I can't confirm if it's everytime but the Pikachu from yellow version, when traded to gen 2 carries a light ball. I remember it happening when I did it as a child but only did it once
Idk if this is common knowledge or not but at least in emerald, you can use sweet scent outside of battle to force a wild pokemon to appear
This has worked in every game right up the present generation (well, Gen 8 at least). In fact, this was the best way to force horde battles in Gen 6, which could allow for up to 50-60 EVs at a time.
Wigglytuff being named "Custard" would actually make a lot of sense since Jigglypuff is "Purin" (Pudding) in Japan.
I had something similar happen to me to the Dustox Poison one where I evolved a Tyrogue who was paralyzed into Hitmonlee and it was still paralyzed despite now having Limber, which prevents Paralysis
39:52 NOT TRUE. That Ludicolo doesn't know Shadow Ball, it knows *Nature Power*.
It's a very rare move which turns into other moves depending on the invironment.
Nature Power turns into Shadow Ball when used inside a cave (which Victory Road is).
The ultimate Pokemon facts video!
The marriage line is a reference to yokai, which a Japanese audience would have caught onto.
Serperior being based on the French Empire makes it being on fences in Kalos make a lot of sense now
Hey PaPaSea, have you seen the glitch where you can start gen 1 with all 3 starters? Would love to see a play through of this from your channel
This glitch is game breaking. I’ve done it.
@ThisIsAStoryAboutAGirlNamed Amy I've only managed to get 2, every time I go for the 3rd I screw up the timing
I think it was related to the internal clock of the game, after a year or so the clock wouldn't work anymore and no more berries could grow in your game
I've seen a speedrun where they used cut on grass to skip a trainer while they had to menu some stuff anyways so it was faster then using a repel.
6:00 dude... that bookmark... I had one and haven't thought about that in years
That was a wonderful video, and honestly had me hooked from start to finish
When I was a kid I just love cutting grass at Gen 1 and 2. It was weirdly satisfying to see the patch temporarily wiped clean
that fan art of lati-ken is so nostalgic, I would honestly frame a print of that -such cool art.
I think part of the challenge of the game is being limited to both six Pokémon and four moves per Pokémon. Makes you strategize better. I feel like increasing either would make the game slightly easier. IMO, part of the hours of fun is the challenge.
Fun fact: 雷 (kaminari) is generally translated as thunder, while イナズマ (inazuma) is generally translated as lightning. So that's the difference between them. In Japanese, the words have completely different origins and have been used differently.
Idk man, trading that Slakoth for the Makuhita in Gen 3 is something ive always done. Yes, Makuhita isn’t rare but I always found having him early and also getting boosted EXP was extremely helpful
I am SUPER excited to try the patching trick with Ruby/Sapphire!
Great to listen to while working! Thank you for this!
9:56 this remained the case until Generation Five. A more interesting fact would have been: "Unova was the first region to have all of its towns and cities use a unique theme."
Johto had Violet/Olivine, Azalea/Blackthorn and Ecruteak/Cianwood however that last one was reimagined in HGSS
Hoenn had Mauville/Rustboro/Mossdeep and Oldale/Lavaridge
Sinnoh had some pretty obvious ones like Solaceon/Pastoria, and Celestic/Eterna
All Unovan settlements have unique music, although I'm not completely sure about routes off the top of my head and I'm not going to check.
I still have my Kyogre Coin and even know where it is! Kind of an impressive feat given I was still in grade school when the games came out!
I also purposely went into Scarlet and Violet completely blind to any pokemon not officially revealed- it was wonderful! I had forgotten that sense of wonder! Even if I did realize I missed a couple shinies because I didn’t know the Pokemon weren’t supposed to be that color.
Listening to this while i hatch eggs for Meowth in ORAS, good video for backround noise AND cool facts, worth it!!
Yo I remember that Ruby and Sapphire bookmark. They had a ton of those in the library at my school during the X and Y era which is very interesting. I remember everyone had one too. I was one of the very few people who actually knew what games they were and actually could name all the Pokémon on them too. I probably still have mine laying around somewhere 😂
I had some too! Only I had them before Ruby and Sapphire released. I think my grandmother got them somewhere and gave them to me. I had plenty to hand out to friends and I remember liking how they smelled for some reason 😅
I love listening to your nuzlocks and fact videos when I commute!
38:38 Do you know what Pokemon is literally THE BEST Pokemon in the series?
it is none other than the parasitic Pokemon Paras, as it translates into Best in Finnish.
also being a kid in Finland and naturally learning Finnish as my mother language.
i honestly thought that both Kanto and Johto regions were some stupid Finnish translation things, until i learned about that they were an actual thing from Japan instead.
Also i can't forget the tradition, so here it goes.
SUOMI MAINITTU!! TORILLE!!!
I had some of those gen 3 promotional bookmarks! I think my grandmother got them somewhere and gave them to me. Like I had a good few of them and gave some out to friends at school. Thats how I learned gen 3 was coming out and I was pumped!
33:44 there's no single point in using core and lands wrath lol ,but thousand wave/arrow is actually good .
I though victini have 4 too.......
Got my shiny Mudkip while watching this video in pokemon ruby. Shit was hype and I enjoyed listening to the many things I didn’t know about in these games.
BOOGER SALMON!!
my arch-nemesis...!
Love long form content.
One thing I’ve noticed is in gen 2, the bicycle theme is Goldenrods theme sped up
I feel like Barry is cracked enough to paint his Potech orange immediately after buying it.
I KNEW IT! YOU CAN HEAR POKEMON CRIES IN THE OVERWORLD! IM NOT CRAZY!
Enjoyed that. Love this type of video
I've got both of the ruby and sapphire coins and I still have them in their packaging too!
What a great video to watch while eating Mac and cheese
Faint versus Feint Attack: A "feint" is a movement designed to trick the opponent, and so, like many other dark type moves that are based on trickery, it's likely that it should have always been spelled feint instead of faint.
Yep. This was a well-known spelling error, even back in Gen 2. GF even admitted to it, they just didn't fix the spelling for over a decade because... reasons... possibly because they also introduced Feint as a move.
I knew most of these but the extended cut range from hyper cutter and the gift tentacool are pretty nuts
i don't think people could get the regi dolls in western versions of Ruby and Sapphire, and instead needed a version of Emerald to trade records with a japanese Ruby/Sapphire that scanned the e-reader card, then trade records between a Japanese and Western version of Emerald, then trade records with the western emerald with other Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald players an doll trader apparently gains a regi doll. also Unova's region's name was called Alleos in some early british materials.
also, Unown in generation 2 could only be shiny in their I and V forms, which coincidentally the same as the abbriviation for Individual Values.
I did customer service for Nintendo from 2010-2013 and it wasn't part of NOA while I did cs
Bonus fact for the grass cutting one: hyper cutter increases the range of the mowing
I remember Telefang being called Pokemon. How could I forget giving my "Pokemon" a gun?
God dang you why did you tell me that the trees in Sinnoh look like buff guys now that's all I'm going to see. You sir have taken my innocence😂
27:50 Why does Groudon introduce a negative number in the heavy ball catch calculations? he is one of the heaviest pokemon there is and from what I have found his weight should give him a +30 bonus to his catch rate so his catch rate should become like 33. So how does that number become negative? But Beldum i get because he gets a -20 to his catch rate which results into -17.
This content is awesome, good to listen too while working or studying.
Could listen to this all day!
The reason they changed “fAint attack” to “fEint attack” is because of the words definition… feint is making a distraction movement while typically fighting …since they do a fake thrust first to get the pokemon to dodge one direction first it never misses. While faint attack should by name be a OHKO
That would be cool if or when they would re-introduce berserk gene they would make it like pokerus where you would randomly get it and once you successfully defeat 10 Pokémon just get a permanent +2 to attack with no confusion but if you don’t successfully defeat 10 Pokémon wall, confused it resets so we get some incentive
Violet is about to outsell Scarlett too

I was gonna make a comment about how Archeops doesn’t fit in the ‘cold blooded vertebrates’ category, and I ended up going down a massive rabbit hole based on its design…
Okay, so it’s based on a dinosaur named _Archaeopteryx,_ which has been referred to by many as the first ever bird species. However, in more recent years, paleontologists have reclassified it as a nonavian theropod that is closely related to the ancestors of birds, but not a true bird itself. And when I say ‘in more recent years’, I mean when Archeops was created, I believe _Archaeopteryx_ was generally still considered an avian dinosaur and ancestor of birds, it was only in 2018 that it was reclassified. For reference, avian dinosaurs are simply just classified as birds. Although, it’s actually more correct to say that modern birds are classified as avian dinosaurs, basically, they’re one and the same. However, while we obviously know that modern birds are warm blooded (because we can observe them), it’s not as clear exactly how dinosaurs regulated their temperatures. It’s been a subject of debate in paleontology for a very long time, but in more recent years, evidence seems to be pointing towards a lot of them being warm blooded. Basically, it’s hard to classify their metabolisms, as many species studied would’ve had to’ve had much faster metabolisms than modern cold blooded species like reptiles, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they were warm blooded either, as their estimated metabolic ranges still don’t even come close to that of mammals and birds. In _very_ simplified terms, it takes tons of energy to fly, and in order to be able to expend that much energy regularly, with our current understanding of metabolisms, they’d very likely have to be warm blooded. This is further reinforced by the existence of proto-feathers and even true down feathers on many dinosaur species which would’ve been used for insulation, something that is detrimental to cold blooded species. Essentially, any dinosaur that had feathers very likely wasn’t cold blooded. We still can’t say for certain that they were warm blooded either, but their metabolisms had to’ve been completely unlike anything alive today if they weren’t.
So yeah, I was just gonna comment that the Dewey decimal thing was a massive stretch and Archeops belongs in the ‘bird’ category lmao, and I ended up going on this deep dive into evolutionary biology and the (awesome) inspiration behind Archeops’ design. It’s based on a dinosaur that was thought to be one of the oldest bird species ever discovered, except it’s not actually directly related to modern birds and just an example of convergent evolution amongst competing species. Actual true birds did exist at the time, _Archaeopteryx_ just wasn’t one of them despite having feathers and wings just like them. And while it wasn’t a bird, it was probably still warm blooded along with many other dinosaurs. So confusing.
36:46 sounds like they were ahead of the time, the feature of the alola version got added later so honestly they turned down something that they added later
>>"The trees look like buff men flexing."
>>Pause the video and stare for 30 seconds to try and see it.
I feel like I was trolled into stopping the video now.
20:30 did you mean "sun & moon" or "x & y"?
since the info in the video is for x and y
but you said sun and moon
5:42 I think Wal-Mart had a pack that had the game and the matching coin in them back in the day. I bought one of each and had both coins. I definitely didn't preorder the games.
