I wish this was just post game. So I could play it. I hate events with a passion. It means that if someone is new to Pokémon, and buys one of the older games, they can never catch any of the event pokemon. Most event pokemon are also banned in competitive since some are impossible to get for new players. One of pokemon’s biggest things is “gotta catch ‘em all”. So having catching them all be impossible, is dumb. Events should add new story, or special versions of pokemon, like A’s floetta, or pokemon that know moves they normally cannot learn. Not block off entire pokemon from people. What they should for events of mythicals is make the event available for a month, then close it. Then, when the next generation comes out, open the old events again. That way, it’s still an exclusive pokemon for that event, without completely blocking the pokemon
@@Glowing0v3rlord having to glitch/ exploit/ hack to do it takes away a lot of the fun. A big thing with pokemon is “gotta catch ‘em all”, that should be possible to do without cheating or exploiting.
It always bothered me that this event canonized that Silver is Giovanni’s son, but didn’t allow him to challenge his dad in a fight. Imagine if instead if the other gendered MC, you go back in time with your rival and do a double battle against Giovanni. The game already did something similar with Lance.
Lmao the event is a nice touch, but HGSS have some of the worst implementation of Pokemon mechanics. Bad level curve, awful Pokemon distribution, bad pacing especially with the plot, underwhelming bare overworld, no new content after beating Red (compared to the Sevii Islands in FRLG or the Delta episode in ORAS) and some of the lamest boss battles to name a few
@@demonsword6762 compared to the Sevii Islands and the Delta episode. There's no new plotline that makes the remakes stand out from the originals like then gen 1 and 3 remakes
The arceus event back then felt so surreal it almost felt fake. Especially since HGSS were released in Japan MONTHS ahead of NA (fall 2009 VS March 2010), Japanese players were posting experiences of the event and we were just gawking. I remember thinking it was a fake event based on their descriptions until finally someone uploaded footage. I was vibrating with excitement from September to March because not only was I anticipating remakes of the best gen, I was anticipating a crazy arceus event too
all these events should be part of the main game after it’s been released for like a few years, just send out a final update unblocking everything. it adds so much to the game. Thank god for action replay
it’s been a lot longer than a few years, it’s been out for 14 years now, still amazes me though how it still remains as one of the best official Pokémon games.
The Old Pokemon games were goated for the mythical vibes they provided, now replaced with graphics we no longer have the quality of lore and exploration of those Legendary areas. Even the events are lazy now
Man I honestly disagree with people who say the graphics are better while they might be 3D which is nice they are low quality models and textures especially for a modern game while the older games used sprites they were of good quality the graphics are very different and 3D would be better if they put actual effort into it, the games all around are lower quality now than they were then including graphics they at least had soul before.
@@keeganwilson9062🤮 3d graphics more like plastic, gen five graphics best pixalated plus Pokemon skin effects like the kyurems glowing tail after fusion
There’s also a theory that Giovanni jumped. Instead of going through the exit and playing the exit sound, he goes through somewhere else, and you can hear a splash.
@@FrenzyFr1ght wasn't that installment full of alternate dimensions though. i was given to understand the returning enemy leaders came from those other dimensions
You missed the part where there's a water splash sound after he leaves, with people suspecting he's never seen again because he commits suicide (well, this version is never seen again to my knowledge. The other times he's seen are either non-canon appearences or Giovani from another world).
There is a fan server that still runs the events for Gen 4 and 5. You just adjust your DNS in your WiFi settings and you can get all the old events. So you can still do this! 👍
The only pokemon event I actually ever got to enjoy, and with my best friend from my childhood. I'm actually at a coffee shop just across the street from his old place, but he isn't there anymore. Beautiful memories from back then. Oh, how time flies.
It’s more hinted when the grunt says “you remind me of Giovanni’s son , he has red hair though” or something along those lines . It was never confirmed until this game
@@TheIhplodur from Bulbapedia Giovanni and Silver's relationship is first alluded to in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, when Team Rocket Scientist Gideon at the Rocket Warehouse on Five Island asks Red if he is "Giovanni's kid" but concludes he is not, saying that "Giovanni's kid has red hair."
I did this event back in the day. Blows my mind it wasn’t just a part of the main game since it’s such an integral part of the story. Also a small note but I love Giovanni having a Honchkrow on his team when you fight him here.
I remember coming across this back in Soul Silver, was really awesome. SS/HG feel like they had a bunch of hidden stuff and events like this, feel like we really don't see that much anymore.
Why is it so damn hard to activate the coolest animations in gen 4? The imagery of going back in time looks so fucking cool! Same with the arceus battle in dpp
Playing through HGSS back in 2010 was a joy for me because it was my 2nd mainline game after Platinum being my first. I had the luxury of learning more about Johto and Kanto’s lore. Plus while battling Team Rocket who’s influence really flourished throughout both regions j found it a bit odd I never came across their head honcho in the base story until this exclusive event released and I had the joy of taking down the infamous villain leader. It was incredible because I battled Giovanni before I battled Red so when he told me I reminded him of that legendary trainer I was a bit confused until I first handle got to experience the true power Kanto’s greatest Champion
Sad part about this is when Giovanni leaves the cave you can hear the sound of him jumping off the ledge into the waterfall, presumably to his death in that timeline
I did this! My dad took my brother and I to GameStop so we could experience it and the store was packed with dudes using their DS’s, such a fun and clear memory
Fun Fact: When he lives the cave, you hear a splash sound effect. The entrance of the cave is behind a waterfall, so I kind of implies he might have jumped. It is said this was to imply he took his own life.
Imagine someone just gives up life goals because they lost a duel. Like youre changing your life and the life of others because you lost like.. rock paper scissors or checkers or something.
This feels like the perfect postgame. Like imagine that after defeating the League and Kanto gyms you get to encounter Celebi that triggers this event, then after defeating Giovanni you get told by an NPC where Red is or something
If they put this into the base game imagine if there is a third endgame storyline where you go back in time to certain events like visiting cinnabar island erupting, or fighting deoxys, maybe even confronting the gym leaders of oaks time, there's so much you can do with time travel in the Pokémon games especially if it's executed like this
I love this event, it really just feels like a genuine part of the postgame. But I hate that it was an event of one of the first 5 gens. Meaning that the access to it was really limited, and nowadays there's no way at all to trigger it other than hacking the game or doing other exploits.
There's a theory this was the final straw for him and he ended it all. There's an immediate splash sound as he leaves and none of his pokemon know surf.
The cave was on top of a waterfall and u needed special moves like the swimming and flying one but when Giovanni leaves his Pokémon are beaten and he couldn’t escape the cave then when he leaves you hear a splash suggesting he jumped (to his death or otherwise )
I knew about the GS rival being Giovanni's son from the pokemon manga. If I remember correctly: *SPOILER* Giovanni founded Team Rocket after his son was kidnapped. The reason he was kidnapped was because his kidnapper was grabbing kids, and grooming them to be his underlings to either capture, or get a feather from Ho-oh and Lugia, to make the GS ball. The kidnapper, the Ice gym leader from GS, would use the ball to summon and catch Celebi, so that he could time travel to prevent the death of his Lapras.
Damn that is sooo dope and I had no idea. In fact I always wondered what the shrines importance was. Thanks! Definitely missed out not getting to play this part.
I absolutely loved 🥰 soulsilver definitely one of my favorite ds pokemon games 😁 had such great music and still does as I heard that background music 🎶 and was instantly brought back to my childhood 😅
Back when the games were fucking legendary, I remember going to GameStop to get my celebi when I was like 10 and nothing will ever replace that feeling
This was one of my favorite bits in the pokemon manga, where Giovanni is dying and searching for a cure when the reveal that Silver is his son! It’s crazy how much of those books I remember from when I was a kid, but they’re treasured memories nonetheless
I didn't know this! Just beat him a few m8nutes ago. Brings back memories of begging my parents more than a decade ago to bring me to gamestop for the event celebi
Everyone says they hate event Pokémon but man... at the time, they were the funnest thing ever. It felt like you were traveling on your own journey in the real world. My fondest memory was getting Darkrai and Rotom with my mom. I was 11 and she drove me across the Salt Lake Valley to go to some last standing Toys R Us. She let me replay my favorite song "Hollywood" by Collective Soul. My mom didn't usually opt to do things that were like that, not super maternal. But that was a once in a lifetime experience I'm so grateful for.
it was so dope getting the event celebi and then going home to experience this mysterious ass event as a 10 year old kid. the pikachu colored pichu event was really cool as well
Fun fact: if your celebi faints in the Giovanni battle, a event will trigger in were Lyra will say that they can't go back to their time without celebi, using a max revive in him so they can go back to the present.
what this implies is that at the same time you are clearing the radio tower, a future version of you is fighting Giovanni in that cave.
It also means that in any timeline where you don't get Celebi, Giovanni will eventually return.

I feel like the base game wasn't ready for this
I remember actually going to gamestop for this man good ol times
HG/SS goats of Pokémon games! So many cool events and things to do in the game.
Even the arceus event
it was so dope getting the event celebi and then going home to experience this mysterious ass event as a 10 year old kid. the pikachu colored pichu event was really cool as well
Fun fact: if your celebi faints in the Giovanni battle, a event will trigger in were Lyra will say that they can't go back to their time without celebi, using a max revive in him so they can go back to the present.
