Ive caught raquayza with a pokeball at lowest health before. Went there, climbed the twer and such and saved before him. I forgot to but more balls and had only 2 untra balls, 2 great balls and 1 pokeball.
I had 2 stacks of ultra balls on me at the time. Encountered Zekrom (my fav). Lowered health to 1. Chucked balls for days. It loses all pp and struggles to death.
The Drifloon is super easy to find out about, without Bulbagarden or anything similar, after you beat team galactic in the Valley Windworks, the man you save says that there is a pokemon that comes there on Friday.
Tealbot in my lenguage (italian) the guy in the windmill said something about a pokemon apparing on a certain day but he did't remember wich day of the week, i needed to look up on the wiki
Maybe the Italian localization team thought it was a bit too on the nose to straight up tell you, and wanted you to decide whether or not you really cared to figure it out by coming back to check on different days.
he said that is no way any one of us found it by acident, and ye after i replayed the game i saw the man talk about that pokemon. but the first time i found it was by accident i went Down from gym 2 and to the Wind will just to look around / bike around and i saw it. so i have gotten it by accident
Munchlax... 1% chance on a honey tree... It is only 3-4 trees at random. and toss in the 6 hour wait. You are NOT getting it. Better play soulsilver or something.
Nah, it's not that bad. You can find 2 of the 4 trees with your trainer ID, and after that it's only a matter of time. The 6 hour wait isn't that bad because you can do anything you want in that time. Sure, it'll probably take a few weeks, but the actual time required playing the game isn't very high. Also, after finding a Munchlax, there's a 90% chance that you'll find it again next time you slather that tree. So, like Feebas, finding more of them is a piece of cake.
The box my emerald game came in when I was young had a guide to braille at the end. That's how I figured the puzzles out. I'd assume the little booklet for ruby or sapphire would be the same. Decrypting it as a kid was fun and one actually learned the common letters and got fluent-ish at reading the text.
I already knew how to "read" braille, but it turns out I never realized they existed until Gen 4 with the Regigigas hints. But of course, I didn't have compatible WiFi back then (for Gen 4 I think is when it started), nor a place that handled any Pokemon Events nearby, so the Legendary Golems were out of reach for me. As to why I knew Braille, it's because I went to a school that had a dedicated staff towards disabled children. I was thought to have a disability back then and was placed in classes with them and ended up learning Braille. And having discovered respect for those disabled (both children and adults). Best people/friends I ever got to know back in elementary school. Oh yeah, I can see btw. Yeah, a year late or whatever. I'm bored and decided to watch some old videos to pass the time. That's when I came across the comment, and figured I'd pitch in my 2 cents on Braille. It's actually a great and fun way to read books. A shame more books aren't in Braille (At least the ones I like reading).
@@MLPIceberg Are... are you saying you PREFER to read in braille? That's... kinda fascinating lol. Is your reading speed anywhere comparable to regular text? I imagine not, but I've always been curious. I guess theoretically you could probably "read" braille (with your eyes) almost as fast as regular letters (probably a little slower given that the different symbols aren't as easily discernible since they weren't designed to be sight-read), but an actual visually impaired person seems like they'd be limited by the speed of their finger (which is presumably less than the speed of one's eyeballs tracking words on a page). I'd love to know what the actual speed difference is; if any visually impaired commenter ever happens to read this, please let me know!
Exactly. I don't know about ORAS as new games tend to not have manuals, but the original games, which of course were what these puzzles were designed for, came with manuals that had a braille translation in them. JRose made himself look a bit silly there. Along with Drifbloom which you get told appears on Fridays.
I actually really liked getting the Regis :) when i was a kid, i actually went to the library and checked out a book on Braille so that I could solve the Regi puzzles and I remember sitting with a piece of notebook paper and translating the instructions... It was actually kind of fun to decipher the code and it was rewarding when it actually worked!
That's awesome, I wish I wasn't so lazy and actually did something cool like that. Good thing at this day and age we have so many tutorials on the internet
I made my mom translate it while i had a friend over. I remember us being so hyped about catching the regis. For a while we were the only kids at school who knew the secret.
Personally, I loved the Regi-puzzles. As a kid I printed out a braille alphabet sheet and translated the instructions letter-by-letter. I realize that that's probably tedious for most people, but I enjoyed it. It was like decrypting secret code to discover lost treasure, and it made me really appreciate the Regis.
Anthony Tyler Honestly appreciate this sentiment. From reading the comments I’ve pretty much gathered that people who are too lazy to actually try hated this puzzle. I mean, game devs probably didn’t know Braille and most likely had to look it up too.
I honestly didn't think it was that big of a deal. Braille is easily recognizable for what it is... Even sans-internet you just have visit.. *gasp* the library. There's bound to a be a book on braille there (again, since its so common and recognizable). Or even a chart in a B Encyclopedia... Once you've translated the messages.. that's it.. the rest of the puzzle is a non-issue. Catching the two required pokemon and navigating the currents was harder than decoding the actual puzzle.
@@basillah7650 Except some people might actually know braille despite not being blind, does this not cross your mind? Not only that but it's already an established language. They could have made one up on the spot and you would have no idea how to solve it without breaking a code. But seeing as it's just braille, it's relatively simple. Just open up a dictionary or whatever and compare the symbols. I did it when I was like 12, because the manual for the game had an alphabet reference for braille.
Okay but like where is Spiritomb from diamond and Pearl and platinum? Like my goodness that was one of the most tedious things they have put in a Pokemon game
In Platinum an NPC tells you that Drifloons come on fridays. I didn't use the internet back then and I always knew that Drifloon only appeared there on fridays.
Combee and Drifloon are absolutely nothing compared to Munchlax (1% appearance rate on 4 honey trees linked to your ID#, and you have to look up which 4 they are).
Anthony Gens Yeah me too man, what a feeling of accomplishment to get then without any help. I was even the first at my school to figure it out. Good times.
@@SmoothTurtle840 They could have made up a totally fictional alphabet that was only available in the manual, thereby screwing over those unlucky enough to both not own the manual (pre-owned cartridges) and also not be codebreakers. Instead, they used a well-known alphabet with plenty of available resources to help you translate it.
The game came with a brail map and a thing that told you this was important for some mysterious Pokémon. And the when this comes up it was a little more obvious but I barely anyone read the paperwork that comes with a new video game
One day I was in class talking to my friend when I ran into suicune and just as a joke I said "dude watch this" I threw a pokeball at him with full health and caught it on the first try. I used all my luck at once
Now it's much easier, with emulators and ability to save the game at any time you can catch Suicune, Entei and Rioku on full health in about of half an hour if you do speed play with 1 ultra ball.
I felt really clever back then as a child. Using the Emerald manual with the braile alphabet. I was really excited unraveling a secret. And solving the puzzle.
Yeah, Pokemon is supposed to be an adventure. That is why it is designed that way. It makes you feel like you are on one. You are cracking codes, doing weird actions, finding secret passages. It is really cool. The same is true with Driftbloom. If you randomly found that as a kid, it would be awesome. You would tell all your friends who would try it. It is supposed to make the world seem more alive.
i remember a friend finding the cave and we sat down the weekend solving the riddle! its a fucking great memory! as well i found driftloon on accident never knew it appeared like that
I remember playing Sapphire when I was like ten. I went to Route 119 and thought "Meh, I should actually fish for some Pokémon". The very first appearance was this really ugly fish and I almost wanted to flee the battle but then decided to catch it for the Pokédex. Months later I found out how extremely rare it is thanks to a friend and how to evole it into Milotic (who then won me all the beauty contests). I still have it on my PokémonBox for Gamecube :D
what's pokemonbox? Edit: do you mean that black device you attache to the bottom of your gamecube that let you play GBA games? If so, that thing was sick. If not, I need to know what you're talking about immediately!
@@idontwantahandlethough it's kind of like Pokémon Bank. You connected your GBA game with the Gamecube and were able to transfer Pokémon. It was this huge storage system and I think it was sold together with Colosseum.
yeah, surskit can also be found in the routes after fortree city leading into lilycove. They can be found there also, but I haven't found any there yet.
What about munchlax from DPP? 1% encounter rate on the honey trees, only located at four in the entire region of Sinnoh, and it changes EVERY day just like Feebas.
Yeah I also thought about munchlax. If it wasn't bad enough it has only 1 percent rate to appear, it can only be found on a few special trees which are every playthrough different ones, decided somehow by your trainer ID and there are no visuable differences to the "normal" trees, so it is pretty much: Honey about all honey trees, keep your game on for 6 hours and fly again from tree to tree. It can take weeks or months to just find one
Munchlax has a 1% encounterrate and is also a honeytree pokemon. It also spawns only at 4 specific trees, that are unice to the trainer and you can only verify two of them through you trainer ID.
Broockle only if you have a copy of firered or leafgreen. Otherwise honeytree munchlax is the only way to fill your national dex without having to buy a copy of the previous gen(altho its worth playing them) or waiting for the next gen to come out(where you can trade a munchlax in the summer). It is actually very handy to have a munchlax early on, at which point Pal Park is unavailable.
As a kid, I LOVED the Regis! I remember finding the caves by chance and asking my parents what the weird dots were. My dad said they looked like braille, so we looked up a braille alphabet and translated it. Then when we finished all the puzzles, those "doors opened somewhere far away." I remember earlier in my Pokemon adventure finding these closed mountain things, so I went back to them and sure enough, they were open. Solve another puzzle and bam, there was a LEGENDARY POKEMON hiding behind that wall. It was super exciting and cool. I want MORE Pokemon stuff like this. It might be inconvenient for faster runs or if you just really want the Pokemon, but I think it's really neat and imaginative. That new way to get Regigigas is kinda BS tho ngl.
I remember my little brother coming to me for help with those puzzles. I knew it was braille, so (like you and your dad) we looked it up. He was SO HAPPY when we finally got it all solved. I don't think I've ever felt like such an awesome big brother in my life lol
What's the big deal about braile? I played emerald on GBA and the instruction manual had a page to translate that alphabet, found the regis on my first run.
Really? That's funny, cause I have still have the instruction manual and it doesn't have a translation anywhere in it. All it says about the braille is this: "Trainer Tip: The world of Pokemon is a vast mysterious place with many hidden wonders. If you happen upon a place where there is writing on the walls, but you can't read it, think about something that might help you solve the puzzle... It might be Braille. If you are unable to search out the answers you need, remember you can always contact Nintendo for help." I remember it not having that information because when I was a kid that's the first place I looked for help before searching the internet. I also have the Ruby manual and the Sapphire manual and both of them have almost the exact same message just with a couple words added.
Even if you do not use the manual, really? braile is everywhere! Its not hard to figure out what these dots mean if you see it in every lift, on every medicine and so on. I translated it with the alergie medicine of my big sister, and lucky guessed the missing letters. Worked for me!
@@sexycowman same, I had that booklet too, but I asked one of my friend who can actually read braille because I didnt realize there was a translation for it
Politoed and Castform from Sun and Moon. When one takes you 2-3 hours and scares you to death by using Perish Song and the other is so inexistant you get 2 shinies instead of it, they both deserve a spot on this list.
Roi Pharamp You Can Try Joining Pokémon Communities In Google+. Most Of Us Are Very Friendly. I Could Help Too. (I Had A Google+ Member To Help Me Witb My Evolutions)
I feel like the Regis are a bit higher on this list than they should be, given how many different hints the game threw at you in terms of giving you the tools you needed to translate the visual braille. My teenage self honestly found it really cool; I never realized it was in the manual and when I realized the master cavern (where you reveal the openings to the other three) was literally a translation cipher, it felt so exciting, like I was literally going exploring into ruins amd discovering these golem Pokemon that nobody had heard from in generations. It was super satisfying, especially after being so let down by the Ruins of Alph in Gen 2.
Oh wow I totally forgot about the stupid Unknown ruins. It always seemed like there was supposed to be some awesome secret there.. they got the mysterious atmosphere and everything done really well, and cool hieroglyphic pokemon wasn't the _worst_ idea ever, they could have done something cool with that but yeah, huge let down. Lugia is still sick though. Ho-oh doesn't even come close... I don't think there's any other pair (or set) of legendaries with such an obvious choice as to which one is the coolest.
About the brail section, I did it when I was around 10yo. I didn't had internet so I went to a library to uncode the messages and do the steps. It was one of my best part of playing Pokemon so far and I still remember it perfectly.
same for me I still remember how I got them together with a friend an it felt like such an adventure. Like you actually had to think and get something that not everyone has. In germany the manual had the alphabet on it‘s last page but I didn‘t have it anymore so I had to visit a friend and he helped me to get the golems. Compared to how you get the legendarys in the newer generations I really enjoyed this.
And that's exactly what gamefreak wanted. They wanted to make a puzzle kids could figure out. So instead of using another language they used brail. It's easy to find if you look hard enough. I miss these creative ways of finding Pokemon. The bird in x and y pissed me off because it wasn't a real roamer.
Regarding Surskit... I had no idea it was a 1% encounter. I remember finding loads of those things while I was hunting for a Ralts with a decent nature.
In the original ruby and sapphire games, which came with a manual, it included a braille chart. In ORAS you can catch Feebas 100% of the time in the daytime under the bridge by the weather institute.
Dude, I can tell you which tree you need to head butt that always has a Heracross in it. I got to the point in the remakes where I was even picky when it came to natures because I had a whole box full of Heracross.
@@The.Original.Potatocakes I'm talking about Gold and Silver (G/S) not the remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver. In the originals it was random with a very low encounter rate so you had to headbutt all of the trees several times.
I don't want to brag, but I caught 3 shiny male Feebas and A Female one (plus 3 shiny Magikarp and 2 shiny Barboach) on Platinum, by constantly changing the DS clock so that it never passed midnight (I was Hunting for a female Shiny Feebas btw)
Ellie I used to read the manuals, because they used to have useful info in older games. Also there are NPCs who clue you as to what to do to get regigigas in ORAS, this dude is just a whiny person who wants everything handed to them, might as well just play showdown.
Hey everyone. Really appreciate the feedback, it's clear that this list doesn't necessary reflect everyone's experiences with some really annoying Pokemon. I'll need to post a follow up in the future, but I want to thank you all for making me look for Tree Munchlax. It's truly a joy!
I'm not done with the countdown, but if Munchlax (D/P/PT) didn't make the list, it should've. It has a 1% encounter rate, and can only appear on four trees, (completely random). It atleast should've had Combee.
Necrozma lowest catch rate little info on it for being a legendary, only shows up in post post game in an area most people don't even know exists. Trolls you by making you think it's a UB so you can just throw a beast ball at it even though that's just making your life even worse. Also it shows up in normal grass so not many will notice it and the main strat for finding it makes you not get to use your main Pokemon (cause repels and levels). Your not doing that without a guide but no sun and moon don't have insanely hard Pokemon to get.
If I'm not mistaken, RSE had a section in the booklet that had a braille to letter guide in it. I could be wrong but I SWEAR I remember that. Still...fricking ridiculous. Catch a pokemon with low spawn rate that only shows up in one area, catch a more common one and evolve it, have dig, have fly, all this after you do the long ass tide crap...yeesh...then you have to go where they are to top it all off....blech
Braille is a brilliant invention, but... if you put it on a screen it becomes non-functional. And if you don't know anyone who uses Braille, odds are you won't recognise it. Which I didn't. Which is why it was a stupid idea.
I disagree with the regi's one. I thought the translating braille and weird steps were really fun. It added an element of mystery to the legendaries, and made it feel so much cooler when I finally encountered them. It was one of the things I loved in the original sapphire/ruby.
The braille is the problem, not the puzzle itself. If they added an npc ingame that showed you the braille alphabet then you could solve the puzzle without needing to look it up on the internet or learning to read braille.
@@solidzack Honestly I thought that's what made it great though. You had to really want it to unravel the secrets. And it wasn't some bullshit nintendo event that was super exclusive. Anyone could do it if they actually tried. And even back in the days of the original sapphire/ruby most people had access to internet. At least enough to load an ign guide or a picture of Braille characters. It just seems like a trivial thing to be so upset about when Pokemon nowadays practically requires hours of research on stats and movesets/etc. I had a lot of fun deciphering it, it kinda felt like an Easter egg
@@mightyblaster3320 back when I played this game as a kid I hadnt access to the internet, in fact i didnt even have a phone with access to the internet. So I never knew you could even get these pokemon. And I was too young to know that this was supposed to braille and not some sort of Morse code or something. At least some npc should give you a hint on what's going on
@@solidzack :/ I mean, i was like 11 when they came out, and we at least had dial up. And i even remember the days of going to the public library to use the computers/print stuff out. Might have been a little bit of extra work, but at least it wasn't gated by special Nintendo events or having to trade with other players. And its a hell of a lot better than older games that were impossible to beat without a nintendo power subscription or friend with one. The Regis weren't even a crucial part of the game, so it didn't hinder anything aside from pokedex completion.
@@mightyblaster3320 as for the regis, yes they were optional. But there was also a braille part in firered/leafgreen that was crucial for beating the game. Although it wasn't as complex as in R/S/E I still couldnt figure out what to do, and so I was basically stuck.
Heracross from GSC and Munchlax from D/P/P are both deserving of spots on your list and definitely outclass your Golems in terms of how difficult they are to obtain in their respective games.
Once you find out where the rare trees are (think there are online tools that can help you find where they are, they're determined by your trainer ID), Heracross is easy to find, just headbutt the same trees over and over until you get it. But yeah, Munchlax is definitely on another level way beyond the Golems.
okay I didn't get the whole this is braille as a kid and i was taught braille in kinder because my teachers aide used braille to read and it was fun to learn. I think I didnt catch on because a flat surface did not tell my brain these bumps are braille because ... well flat surface with no bumps meant not braille lol. But im glad for guide books. I honestly though it was related to dominos or something hahaha
@@Kimarnic the game itself isn't hard. This is a secret though. Not accesable to everyone as secrets should be. I remember my first time cracking the code. It was a huge deal to me and I was hyped. I never had something in a video game ever since.
honorable mention to Abra, which is relatively rare in most games, is fast for its level, and immediately uses teleport. easy enough when you come back for one at later levels of course.
i'm pretty lucky when it comes to abra, it show up when i least expect it (usually at early game), so i chuck my best pokeball and it submits to my authority
i actually did press A enough times to get my porygon in my gameboy with no cheats, then went to the house on the right... pressed A one too many times and got myself a dratini
I just imagined someone doing this: naming their regice since people name their Pokémon, give it an icy rock to increase ice damage for obvious reasons, going back to the cave during day and looking around for any forgotten items and pisses themself by being zutted
I hardly name my pokemon. Even as a kid I wanted to catch all possible pokemon and just named 2-3 per generation. And I didn't use legendaries in the game. I would catch them but didn't use them cause it felt kind of like cheating
@@themuch21 I was one of those types who would put away my starter in the PC and use a different pokemon caught in the wild as my starter... only time i didn't do that was the special pikachu yellow version.
There's a 100% way to catch Surskit: You can find it on a lake that is located between the 6th GYM Tree-Top City and the Safari Zone. (The lake on the right side of Registeel Location) Works for me everytime so I am actually quite surprise Surskit is on the list.
9:40 reading braille a problem? if you actually bought the game, at the back of the handbook there was a braille deciphering chart. y'no, no need for looking it up... edit; it was in the emerald handbook.
Bitch if the person playing were blind they wouldn’t be able to touch bumpings in the screen and therefore couldn’t read. If the person playing weren’t blind 99,99% would not be able to read Braille.
Spiritomb is only obnoxious, not cryptic or arbitrary, all you need is like 40 interactions in secret base to find the key stone, then take it to a place to access it.
@@rbikidportland Technically you only need two of those games and talk to yourself 40 times. Dunno if you can time warp to do the event and get the keystone.
Kangaskhan definitely deserved its spot in top 10, especially when you take into consideration the context of the time period. When the game first came out, information wasn't easily accessible online. In the 90s, you couldn't simply look up why Kangaskhan kept breaking out of the ball and whether to keep tossing balls vs. using some combination of rocks, food, balls, in a certain order. I managed to get 150/151 of my pokedex complete as a kid. Kangaskhan was literally the only one I couldn't nail, because there was no way that I could tell that I was supposed to repeat the same strategy over and over, and which one to repeat. The difference between "This is the wrong strategy, I need to stop doing this" and "This is a low % strategy, I need to keep doing this" is incredibly difficult to discern in a pre-internet gaming world. The creator of this video caught it in 30 minutes (15 minutes on 2x speed) on an emulator, but that's because he knew what to do. Imagine trying to pull this off when you have multiple different combinations to try and zero information on which path is the one you had to keep repeating. It was a nightmare.
@@crunchmeister3204 doubtful as pokemon keeps track of the time and will say that you are trying to cheat the time for other time related things like migrating.
Uh, what? You do realize that getting any pokemon from the bagon evolutionary line in that game means waiting twice as long, right? Riolu ain't nothing
No, my choice for this is the HG/SS Metang. As many of you may or may not know, the Johto safari has a bit of a weird gimmick, called blocks, after you get the national dex, and completed both of the Safari wardens (Baoba) challenges, you unlock various items to use as decorative lures to attract new pokemon, this is how you get various pokemon such as Bronzor, Riolu, and in my case Metang in HG/SS. The problems with this gimmick is that you might need to look up a guide to find various mons, which leads me to my 2nd and probably the big deal-breaker for many of you. Each block that can attract pokemon has a set value, at the start each block has a value of 1, with each area capping at a total of 30 blocks. There are 4 different block types that attract various pokemon: Plains, Forrest, Peak, And Waterside. Now you may be asking "How do I upgrade the value on my blocks" Well the answer is simple: You wait 10 IRL days, for one of each block type to upgrade, and they all upgrade in the order above. With the cap value being 4. So to maximize the total value of each block, you need to to play HG/SS for a little while for 130 days, or 4 MONTHS. and this is for each individual Area (And no, changing the date on your ds/dsi/3ds will not work). But, once they are at maximum value, removing the blocks or the area does not reset the multiplier. So for me, I needed to wait a whole MONTH before I could get the chance of finding a Metang in the mountain area with a value of 56 Peak point values. I prepared also by stocking up on repels and getting a lvl 43 pokemon with Magnet Pull (the Magnemite line being the only real option), Thus increasing my rate of finding a Metang to majority odds (with the only other encounter being Lunatone) Now the main issue with the Metang line is that, it has the same catch-rate as legendaries, and I mean 3/255, so getting this in a safari ball .... yeah. It took me a week and a shiny lunatone later to finally catch one. But with all the preparation, time, and tedious "running away", i question if it was really worth it.
Why do people think that Feb as is the hardest pokemon to catch generation 4 munchlax is the hardest to get because there are only 3 or so trees that munchlax can appear on and they are based off of your secret trainer code which you can not see and it is different for everyone so you can't look it up on you tube or something. Also even if you do get the right tree munchlax only has a 1% chance of showing up on top of the waiting for 6 hour thing.
nintendo venoct Gen 4 Feebas is easy 3 is harder anyway. By default its based off SID like munchlax so their are only 8 tile on the route it may appear when fishing. That includes the tiles that can't be reached
nintendo venoct it is because feebas can only be found on 4 tiles in the whole gen 4 games, and it changes the places everyday. The worst part is to find it you have to fish on every tile!
You put Combee on here but NOT Munchlax? As you said, you can just soft reset to get the desired gender but for a Munchlax, it can only appear on 3 or 4 trees depending on what your Trainer and Hidden IDs are and you can only ever find out where TWO of them are through math calculations, so you're restricted to slathering honey on two trees and jumping between the two trees every few hours in hopes there's a Munchlax on it, and chances are it isn't because it has something like a 1% spawn rate. Also Chansey is worse in regards to the R/B/Y safari zone. This list is a mess with lots of personal whining.
Villager101 agree. Throughout the video i felt like he just whined about everything, the puzzles gamefreak adds are super cool and different from any other game and he hates it? Lmao
AT least Munchlax can theoretically be acquired by transferring its evolution from gen 3 and breeding it with the right incense... And yes Chansey is far worse not only in R/B/Y but also in the FRLG safari Zone...
C'mon, the way you find the Regis is one of the coolest thing ever made in Pokemon! I was amazed the first time I realized, as a kid, that at the end of the instruction manual there was a Braile dictionary.
After defeating Mars, Little girl: "Maybe the balloon Pokemon will come visit again!" Scientist: "Ah, yes. There's a balloon Pokemon that comes to the windworks a certain day of the week but i don't remember which"
Drifloon is said on its Dex entry to carry away children, on a Friday is when kids are most interactive, school days they usually go straight home, Sunday and Saturday the children stay at home. And that's my theory
I actually kinda liked the Braille mechanic (in R/S/E that is). I had a dictionary which had a braille translator in the back, and it was nice to finally get a use out of the thing, as well as have a real life method of solving that puzzle.
honestly the regis was one of the most fun things to do as a kid, before the internet you went to the library and figured out what it said and then you had to solve the riddles. It felt like a treasure hunt and when you finally finished you had legendary pokemon that none of your friends could get, it was the ultimate bragging rights as a kid.
The drifloon I actually stumbled upon it while I was slathering honey at trees to try my luck on munchlax and all coincidences fell on me and boom, I got a drifloon
I have a friend who has a story relating to obtaining munchlax. He toiled for days finding the right trees, and once he finally found the right ones, he was blessed to find an Action Replay in a Wal-Mart
Or touch. Braille is a rather brilliant idea for allowing the blind/visually impaired to read. The touch screen...has no means of reading by touch. HOWEVER, I feel as if the inclusion of Braille for non-visually impaired is actually a positive thing for another reason; hopefully, it would encourage players to learn about it, and discover something new, broadening their horizons. Yeah, I know, Pokemans doing something like that when all we want to do is play the only game that made Gameboy what it is today, but I still appreciate the effort put into challenging players in a positive way. Frustrating as hell? YOU BET, I hated it too. But was it a good idea? I think so.
In the guidebook that came with the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald cartridges, there was a braille alphabet. We had no internet back in the day, heck, I did not have a computer at home, so we just used the guidebook to read the text letter by letter and solve all the riddles and catch all the golems. It felt so nice as an accomplishment, and I personally found it to be one of the most interesting features of these games. Also, the pokemon where super hard to catch, so the feeling was even greater when you made it.
Metang and Metagross from black and white? I only catched 1 Metang and it was a pain in the ass, got half of my team K.O.'d before i managed to catch him.
Sadly they think its funny or "balanced" to have pseudolegendaries have ridiculously low catch rate honestly Doesn't help that they often have annoyingly low encounter rates too
Mr. Krabs actually their usually pretty low, not too low in some cases but still low. Their encounter rate is usually 5-20%, with dratini's being 25%, but that's in the safari zone. Also all of them are all only in one place in the entire game, so dratini, is only in one water spot in the entire safari zone. Bagon is in one room in meteor falls. Not one of them is the most encounterable pokemon in their one area they are in. So even though the difference in encounter rate may be 5 or 10 for the top one, that's still alot, and you are most likely to encounter that one first and most often. Thats just to get to it though, and all are hard to catch. Again like I said, maybe not top ten worthy, but still hard none of the less.
Munchlax in Gen 4. 2 random honey trees that both depend on you trainer ID can only have a Munchlax. You have to look up your trainer ID just to pinpoint the 2 trees that have a 1% chance of having Munchlax. And in Diamond and Pearl, you can hold only one honey.
okay, how is munchlax from diamond, pearl, and platinum, not on this list..? in order to encounter munchlax, you need to use the honey method. now heres the catch, only 4 trees in the whole game can spawn munchlax, and they are random each playthough. if you manage to somehow find one of only four trees that can spawn munchlax,you have, a 1% chance to encounter it...
Just saying they had a Braille translation in the back of the instruction manual (at least in germany). So no problem there, you get a code, a puzzle und it was fun solving it and I didn't have to use the internet or anything, everything I needed was with the game
I was surprised it was waiting there. Then I remembered what the NPC little girl said about it popping up once a week i a certain day. :') My first 4th gen play was platinum so i was so hyped and immediately included it in my team :)
Your indignation at the brail puzzle is equal parts amusing and perplexing. I could tell on sight it was brail and while I don't have the brail alphabet memorized the library existed even before the internet
I honestly don't see the braille thing as an issue. Its like a game sending a message in morse code. Hardly anyone I know knows more code, but its the experience of feeling like you're cracking a code that they're trying to give you.
Most kids didn't like to read booklets cause they were f*cking lazy, and they still are for the most part. It's from the braille episode that I distinguish who really appreciated Pokèmon and who played just cause it was cool and discarded it right away after finding these "dot things".
i remember my old Ruby game, after over a year of playing, i finally found a tile with Feebas, so i went ahead and fished it and filled up 2 boxes of only Feebas :)
Well all you gotta do is chuck a ball and hope you're lucky. I kinda wish there was something like a "Damp" for Teleport though. The shiny ones can be the biggest douches of all.
For the Regis you had to read the games guildbook, if I remember correctly and then translate it with that and these were riddles you had to solve, look it up.
literaly in the back of the games info book that you got with the game there is a brail laphabet translator guide so if you read through it once you would know when you needed it (thumbs up to you man for remembering that :) )
This is exactly why Kangaskhan has been my favourite Mon. After spending a bunch of time in the Safari Zone seeing a bunch of Nidoran and Parasect when that Gen 1 sprite crossed the screen and seeing this large monster to just have it run away it drove me to finally catch it. She's been my fave ever since.
@@hatredmalice7273 to be fair most Npcs are useless but you kinda get a general idea which ones are important so maybe don't waste your time talking to all of them
I played the slot machines untill I had enough! 😂 Took so long time, but I was like 9-10 and didn't have anything else to do with my time then to play the game. :)
the braille in ruby/sapphire is in the guide book. it's time consuming, but totally doable, especially for kids who are fine spending all day playing pokémon. my choice would be munchlax. it uses the same home mechanic, only appears on 3-4 trees, and even then, it's a 1% encounter rate (i think, it might be higher)
My favorite thing about gen 3 was the puzzles. As ridiculous as they were, I loved that it was some actual mystery stuff that people had to really work and just basically try random stuff towards until they made that breakthrough and figured it out. Closest thing I'd compare it to is Easter egg hunting in Call Of Duty Zombies.
Old post but this was my opinion of the regis and Rayquaza when I originally had the game, but his complaining about Surskit kinda threw me off considering I got like four surskit when I was trying to get a gulpin. o-O
The braille part was one of my favorites from Sapphire. My grandmother and I would work together to figure out what it was saying using the tablets that were given to you, reading the braille alphabet in order. We wrote it all down, and translated it, and I got really excited when I showed her one of the legendary golems I found with her help. She helped me with the unown pokedex in gen 4 as well, and I'd show her the safaris I'd build in Heart Gold. Definitely one of my favorite gaming memories :3
what?! the golems are one of the greatest thing! the alphabet was on the manual and i was a bit conused as a child when I first got the game. but then when I cam across the plates and firstly was confused again and then stumbled about the letters again puzzling it all together was so great! they give you all the tools you need but its not easy for your age. its great not bad design. it rewards you for the struggle.
I got the golems when I was a kid and that felt awesome, man. I was lucky enough to have a super pokenerd friend and he guided me. I know it is crazy unintuitive, but from the perspective of a dude who managed to make it totally worth it!
I bought a used copy of Ruby without a box so I had to use the internet for the Brialle parts. Interesting how they decided to put that in there though.
#3: ... Oh no. You had to solve a PUZZLE?!?! For shame, game developers. How dare you hide your content behind such mind trickeries. Our Gen 3 brains cannot handle it!
This Is what I thought 😂 yeah it might've been difficult to catch them but Nintendo aren't just going to go "yeah have these 4 legendary pokemon for no fuss at all" that's just not fun... I would've said they were difficult to catch, not annoying
Shadow gamer6496 so imagine not having the internet; no friends with internet (or no blind friends lol); youd have NO way of solving these puzzles, its a foreign language, not simply trickery. I lived far enough from the library that i couldnt ride my bike there and look it up, and i didnt like the idea of buying guides for games anyways
@@bobdole1832 I understand what you mean, that would be really annoying 😂 but then those are very specific conditions, most people now have access to that stuff (key word - most). I mean, if you didn't have all that, how would you know they were there in the first place? That's one way to look at it 😂 and I've also seen loads of people commenting on how it tells you in the manual about it, but I personally never look at game manuals and eventually they get lost.
I remember when my dad and I were trying to figure out what the dots were for the Pokémon golems. We didn’t have internet, or at least we weren’t so accustomed to using it, and I remember watching an episode of Arthur on television. They talked about braille and I immediately recognized the dots. Then we took out our encyclopedia and deciphered it together. It was a fun day and a good memory.
As a kid, I caught a suicune with my last pokeball at full health.
To this day, it is my greatest accomplishment ever, and I've survived cancer...
Ive caught raquayza with a pokeball at lowest health before. Went there, climbed the twer and such and saved before him. I forgot to but more balls and had only 2 untra balls, 2 great balls and 1 pokeball.
Similarly, I got a very fast Rayquaza catch: turn 1 = red bar, turn 2 = paralysis, turn 3 = ultra ball, caught.
I caught a shiny zekrom with a pokeball on the first turn and it was at full health too.
I had 2 stacks of ultra balls on me at the time. Encountered Zekrom (my fav). Lowered health to 1. Chucked balls for days. It loses all pp and struggles to death.
You did not affect his status?
The Drifloon is super easy to find out about, without Bulbagarden or anything similar, after you beat team galactic in the Valley Windworks, the man you save says that there is a pokemon that comes there on Friday.
Tealbot bulbapedia
Tealbot in my lenguage (italian) the guy in the windmill said something about a pokemon apparing on a certain day but he did't remember wich day of the week, i needed to look up on the wiki
Maybe the Italian localization team thought it was a bit too on the nose to straight up tell you, and wanted you to decide whether or not you really cared to figure it out by coming back to check on different days.
Tay h yes but finishing the pokedex was a pain in the ass
he said that is no way any one of us found it by acident, and ye after i replayed the game i saw the man talk about that pokemon. but the first time i found it was by accident i went Down from gym 2 and to the Wind will just to look around / bike around and i saw it. so i have gotten it by accident
Munchlax... 1% chance on a honey tree... It is only 3-4 trees at random.
and toss in the 6 hour wait. You are NOT getting it. Better play soulsilver or something.
Gabriel Shadwick I actually got it twice in my life but as a Platinum junkie I played a lot and also did things like Shiny Hunting at honey trees
I got it on platinum and it's my *favorite* Pokemon
Nah, it's not that bad. You can find 2 of the 4 trees with your trainer ID, and after that it's only a matter of time. The 6 hour wait isn't that bad because you can do anything you want in that time. Sure, it'll probably take a few weeks, but the actual time required playing the game isn't very high. Also, after finding a Munchlax, there's a 90% chance that you'll find it again next time you slather that tree. So, like Feebas, finding more of them is a piece of cake.
Xa Where did you get the information from that the chance for another one is higher after finding the first one?
got lucky finding one at the first tree, at the first try back in the days, got really lucky there
The box my emerald game came in when I was young had a guide to braille at the end. That's how I figured the puzzles out.
I'd assume the little booklet for ruby or sapphire would be the same.
Decrypting it as a kid was fun and one actually learned the common letters and got fluent-ish at reading the text.
Came here to point that out actually
I already knew how to "read" braille, but it turns out I never realized they existed until Gen 4 with the Regigigas hints. But of course, I didn't have compatible WiFi back then (for Gen 4 I think is when it started), nor a place that handled any Pokemon Events nearby, so the Legendary Golems were out of reach for me. As to why I knew Braille, it's because I went to a school that had a dedicated staff towards disabled children. I was thought to have a disability back then and was placed in classes with them and ended up learning Braille. And having discovered respect for those disabled (both children and adults). Best people/friends I ever got to know back in elementary school. Oh yeah, I can see btw.
Yeah, a year late or whatever. I'm bored and decided to watch some old videos to pass the time. That's when I came across the comment, and figured I'd pitch in my 2 cents on Braille. It's actually a great and fun way to read books. A shame more books aren't in Braille (At least the ones I like reading).
@@MLPIceberg Are... are you saying you PREFER to read in braille? That's... kinda fascinating lol.
Is your reading speed anywhere comparable to regular text? I imagine not, but I've always been curious. I guess theoretically you could probably "read" braille (with your eyes) almost as fast as regular letters (probably a little slower given that the different symbols aren't as easily discernible since they weren't designed to be sight-read), but an actual visually impaired person seems like they'd be limited by the speed of their finger (which is presumably less than the speed of one's eyeballs tracking words on a page). I'd love to know what the actual speed difference is; if any visually impaired commenter ever happens to read this, please let me know!
Exactly. I don't know about ORAS as new games tend to not have manuals, but the original games, which of course were what these puzzles were designed for, came with manuals that had a braille translation in them. JRose made himself look a bit silly there. Along with Drifbloom which you get told appears on Fridays.
Yup!
I actually really liked getting the Regis :) when i was a kid, i actually went to the library and checked out a book on Braille so that I could solve the Regi puzzles and I remember sitting with a piece of notebook paper and translating the instructions... It was actually kind of fun to decipher the code and it was rewarding when it actually worked!
Rebecca Dopke lol u can read it with the guide book that was included with the game but no one know this
That's awesome, I wish I wasn't so lazy and actually did something cool like that. Good thing at this day and age we have so many tutorials on the internet
I made my mom translate it while i had a friend over. I remember us being so hyped about catching the regis.
For a while we were the only kids at school who knew the secret.
Rebecca Dopke awh omg that’s so pure! 😭😭😭
Rebecca Dopke besides, the Braille alphabet was in the instructions booklet with all gen III games.
Personally, I loved the Regi-puzzles.
As a kid I printed out a braille alphabet sheet and translated the instructions letter-by-letter.
I realize that that's probably tedious for most people, but I enjoyed it.
It was like decrypting secret code to discover lost treasure, and it made me really appreciate the Regis.
Anthony Tyler Honestly appreciate this sentiment. From reading the comments I’ve pretty much gathered that people who are too lazy to actually try hated this puzzle. I mean, game devs probably didn’t know Braille and most likely had to look it up too.
just logically senseless tho lol
I honestly didn't think it was that big of a deal. Braille is easily recognizable for what it is... Even sans-internet you just have visit.. *gasp* the library. There's bound to a be a book on braille there (again, since its so common and recognizable). Or even a chart in a B Encyclopedia... Once you've translated the messages.. that's it.. the rest of the puzzle is a non-issue. Catching the two required pokemon and navigating the currents was harder than decoding the actual puzzle.
@@Godoflegos iirc in the game manual that came in the box there was a braille sheet in the last page.
@@Enydrath yeah there was for Emerald. Not sure about ruby or sapphire.
at first was kind of shocked at 'who reads braille'?
then it did occur to me that no blind people are going to be playing pokemon.
A blind person cannot move their fingers over it for you so even if you knew a blind person they would be useless as well
Big Dictionaries have built in Brailles... So it was easy for my time in Ruby and Sapphire.
Let's invent screens with little points they can move out of the screen to write braille
So my blind cousin can catch the golems for me
@@basillah7650 Except some people might actually know braille despite not being blind, does this not cross your mind? Not only that but it's already an established language. They could have made one up on the spot and you would have no idea how to solve it without breaking a code. But seeing as it's just braille, it's relatively simple. Just open up a dictionary or whatever and compare the symbols. I did it when I was like 12, because the manual for the game had an alphabet reference for braille.
@@WhoIsLym
You're not supposed to read brail. You are supposed to feel it.
Okay but like where is Spiritomb from diamond and Pearl and platinum? Like my goodness that was one of the most tedious things they have put in a Pokemon game

In Platinum an NPC tells you that Drifloons come on fridays. I didn't use the internet back then and I always knew that Drifloon only appeared there on fridays.
Liam Carter I know right, does anyone read npc dialougue anymore?
Bay Laugh I do
And I think that NPC is in Diamond and Pearl, too.
Liam Carter get reckt npc XD 😔
Right! People really need to pay attention to what NPCs have to say.
I found mine accidentally during my first Diamond playthrough, in 6th grade
Combee and Drifloon are absolutely nothing compared to Munchlax (1% appearance rate on 4 honey trees linked to your ID#, and you have to look up which 4 they are).
agree
Exactly what I was thinking, the guy in the video is a complete idiot
Maybe it's that hard that you don't even notice it exist like... I didn't know until now and I played all the gen 4 games
Unless you do the ditto smex
Wouldnt know its even in the game if barry didnt have one.
In the manual of ruby and saphir you had a manual to help you translate brail. When i was a kid i did it myself without any help.
Anthony Gens Still though, _reading_ Braille... *facepalm*
Anthony Gens Yeah me too man, what a feeling of accomplishment to get then without any help. I was even the first at my school to figure it out. Good times.
@@SmoothTurtle840 They could have made up a totally fictional alphabet that was only available in the manual, thereby screwing over those unlucky enough to both not own the manual (pre-owned cartridges) and also not be codebreakers.
Instead, they used a well-known alphabet with plenty of available resources to help you translate it.
Same, for me as a kid that was a really unique experience and I really enjoyed it.
Bullshit
The game came with a brail map and a thing that told you this was important for some mysterious Pokémon. And the when this comes up it was a little more obvious but I barely anyone read the paperwork that comes with a new video game
One day I was in class talking to my friend when I ran into suicune and just as a joke I said "dude watch this" I threw a pokeball at him with full health and caught it on the first try. I used all my luck at once
WOW!
And then the teacher came and took it away
And then you rode your dragon home and enjoyed it? Yeah happened to me aswell
Now it's much easier, with emulators and ability to save the game at any time you can catch Suicune, Entei and Rioku on full health in about of half an hour if you do speed play with 1 ultra ball.
Hope your crush saw that too
Wow, surskit was only 1%. I feel like I've heard that before, but I swear I had more trouble finding a Ralts than a Surskit.
Same.
Same
So did I. Ralts was the pain to find. And Slakoth.
I bet theres a pokenews about a surskit rush
I found surskit and feebas as a kid.
Didn't even know they were rare lol
I felt really clever back then as a child. Using the Emerald manual with the braile alphabet. I was really excited unraveling a secret. And solving the puzzle.
Yeah, Pokemon is supposed to be an adventure. That is why it is designed that way. It makes you feel like you are on one. You are cracking codes, doing weird actions, finding secret passages. It is really cool.
The same is true with Driftbloom. If you randomly found that as a kid, it would be awesome. You would tell all your friends who would try it. It is supposed to make the world seem more alive.
i remember a friend finding the cave and we sat down the weekend solving the riddle! its a fucking great memory! as well i found driftloon on accident never knew it appeared like that
I threw my manual away and had to use an online guide but I gave u after never getting relicath.
I remember playing Sapphire when I was like ten. I went to Route 119 and thought "Meh, I should actually fish for some Pokémon". The very first appearance was this really ugly fish and I almost wanted to flee the battle but then decided to catch it for the Pokédex. Months later I found out how extremely rare it is thanks to a friend and how to evole it into Milotic (who then won me all the beauty contests). I still have it on my PokémonBox for Gamecube :D
what's pokemonbox?

Wow. Surskit is rare? I encountered like 5 in my ruby and sapphire game and thought they were just another passerby pokemon. THAT'S CRAZY.
Pop News Kid me too 🧐
Then I try to catch one in Alpha Sapphire and I've been playing for two hours, and I still haven't caught one yet.
Yeah, i can't believe that surskit only have 1% found chance, i found it like 8 times.
Isn't Surskit also found later in the game? Like, it can be Lvl 16 and it's well after going past the weather station?
yeah, surskit can also be found in the routes after fortree city leading into lilycove. They can be found there also, but I haven't found any there yet.
What about munchlax from DPP? 1% encounter rate on the honey trees, only located at four in the entire region of Sinnoh, and it changes EVERY day just like Feebas.
You tube
Omg yes
I honestly never knew the catch rate, I'm so lucky to have caught one the first time on the honey tree
Yeah I also thought about munchlax.
If it wasn't bad enough it has only 1 percent rate to appear, it can only be found on a few special trees which are every playthrough different ones, decided somehow by your trainer ID and there are no visuable differences to the "normal" trees, so it is pretty much:
Honey about all honey trees, keep your game on for 6 hours and fly again from tree to tree.
It can take weeks or months to just find one
Better to go from Gen III or better still HGSS and breed.
Munchlax has a 1% encounterrate and is also a honeytree pokemon. It also spawns only at 4 specific trees, that are unice to the trainer and you can only verify two of them through you trainer ID.
wat....... wtf?!
that sounds insane
...tho I'm guessing you could get a Snorlax and a Ditto together to make one for you xD
Cavendish ikr
Broockle only if you have a copy of firered or leafgreen. Otherwise honeytree munchlax is the only way to fill your national dex without having to buy a copy of the previous gen(altho its worth playing them) or waiting for the next gen to come out(where you can trade a munchlax in the summer).
It is actually very handy to have a munchlax early on, at which point Pal Park is unavailable.
Cavendish yeah that shoulda been on this. I spent 4 FUCKING MONTHS GETTING THIS FOR PEARL
Only 4 months, took me 2 years to get Munchlax.
As a kid, I LOVED the Regis! I remember finding the caves by chance and asking my parents what the weird dots were. My dad said they looked like braille, so we looked up a braille alphabet and translated it. Then when we finished all the puzzles, those "doors opened somewhere far away." I remember earlier in my Pokemon adventure finding these closed mountain things, so I went back to them and sure enough, they were open. Solve another puzzle and bam, there was a LEGENDARY POKEMON hiding behind that wall. It was super exciting and cool. I want MORE Pokemon stuff like this. It might be inconvenient for faster runs or if you just really want the Pokemon, but I think it's really neat and imaginative.
That new way to get Regigigas is kinda BS tho ngl.
Today with both dataminers and the internet its not as relevant to do this amymore
I remember my little brother coming to me for help with those puzzles. I knew it was braille, so (like you and your dad) we looked it up. He was SO HAPPY when we finally got it all solved. I don't think I've ever felt like such an awesome big brother in my life lol
Yeah... Or you could have just used the manuals that came with your game... It literally had the braille alphabet translated in it...
That's cool, but.. nah. Make it an interesting puzzle, sure, but not this bullshit.
@@David-ud9ju that's actually really cool, now I wish my copy of sapphire still had it's case...
What's the big deal about braile? I played emerald on GBA and the instruction manual had a page to translate that alphabet, found the regis on my first run.
MarcusFenix89 Yeah I myself threw the handbook away as soon as I got the game... I wish I could punch my past-self sometimes.
how the fuck should you know braille
You shouldn't, that's why the instruction manual had a transcription braille-normal alphabet in the last pages
Really? That's funny, cause I have still have the instruction manual and it doesn't have a translation anywhere in it. All it says about the braille is this:
"Trainer Tip:
The world of Pokemon is a vast mysterious place with many hidden wonders. If you happen upon a place where there is writing on the walls, but you can't read it, think about something that might help you solve the puzzle... It might be Braille. If you are unable to search out the answers you need, remember you can always contact Nintendo for help."
I remember it not having that information because when I was a kid that's the first place I looked for help before searching the internet. I also have the Ruby manual and the Sapphire manual and both of them have almost the exact same message just with a couple words added.
Even if you do not use the manual, really? braile is everywhere! Its not hard to figure out what these dots mean if you see it in every lift, on every medicine and so on. I translated it with the alergie medicine of my big sister, and lucky guessed the missing letters. Worked for me!
Reading brail was one of the most exciting things in the game.
Being a kid it felt super mysterious.
I know right? As a kid playing Emerald I never knew, but I wondered about it later and looked it up and it was really cool.
YES. It was super cool and felt like being an archaeologist and discovering something ancient and forgotten.
Like the ruins in Johto.
@@sexycowman Yeah I had that too :)

I feel like the Regis are a bit higher on this list than they should be, given how many different hints the game threw at you in terms of giving you the tools you needed to translate the visual braille. My teenage self honestly found it really cool; I never realized it was in the manual and when I realized the master cavern (where you reveal the openings to the other three) was literally a translation cipher, it felt so exciting, like I was literally going exploring into ruins amd discovering these golem Pokemon that nobody had heard from in generations. It was super satisfying, especially after being so let down by the Ruins of Alph in Gen 2.
Oh wow I totally forgot about the stupid Unknown ruins. It always seemed like there was supposed to be some awesome secret there.. they got the mysterious atmosphere and everything done really well, and cool hieroglyphic pokemon wasn't the _worst_ idea ever, they could have done something cool with that but yeah, huge let down. Lugia is still sick though. Ho-oh doesn't even come close... I don't think there's any other pair (or set) of legendaries with such an obvious choice as to which one is the coolest.
You are such a liar it's not even funny.
About the brail section, I did it when I was around 10yo. I didn't had internet so I went to a library to uncode the messages and do the steps.
It was one of my best part of playing Pokemon so far and I still remember it perfectly.
thats cool af
I dont know how i did it but i got them all with about 8 so i don't know why there's a grown up guy crying about it
same for me I still remember how I got them together with a friend an it felt like such an adventure. Like you actually had to think and get something that not everyone has. In germany the manual had the alphabet on it‘s last page but I didn‘t have it anymore so I had to visit a friend and he helped me to get the golems.
Compared to how you get the legendarys in the newer generations I really enjoyed this.
And that's exactly what gamefreak wanted. They wanted to make a puzzle kids could figure out. So instead of using another language they used brail. It's easy to find if you look hard enough. I miss these creative ways of finding Pokemon. The bird in x and y pissed me off because it wasn't a real roamer.
You should have read game instructions ;) Braille traduction was in it
Regarding Surskit... I had no idea it was a 1% encounter. I remember finding loads of those things while I was hunting for a Ralts with a decent nature.
In the original ruby and sapphire games, which came with a manual, it included a braille chart.
In ORAS you can catch Feebas 100% of the time in the daytime under the bridge by the weather institute.
Unlike in Gen 3, Feebas is unexcusably hard to find.

Dude, I can tell you which tree you need to head butt that always has a Heracross in it. I got to the point in the remakes where I was even picky when it came to natures because I had a whole box full of Heracross.
@@The.Original.Potatocakes I'm talking about Gold and Silver (G/S) not the remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver. In the originals it was random with a very low encounter rate so you had to headbutt all of the trees several times.

to those who have done it... you understand. 10 hours? pfft, I wish, 17 hours.
Event onlies are far worse: the only legit way to get Pokemon like Celebi or Pikachu with Surf is to go to a major city.

I don't want to brag, but I caught 3 shiny male Feebas and A Female one (plus 3 shiny Magikarp and 2 shiny Barboach) on Platinum, by constantly changing the DS clock so that it never passed midnight (I was Hunting for a female Shiny Feebas btw)

About the braille, there is the full alphabet inside the paper manual when u buy it
What about the regigigas part?
carmine boccia who even read a manual for a game it not like u have to put ur game together before you play
kids don't read manual thoughs
Ronny Ip regigigas is 4th gen, If you’re thinking about the original ruby & sapphire
Ellie I used to read the manuals, because they used to have useful info in older games. Also there are NPCs who clue you as to what to do to get regigigas in ORAS, this dude is just a whiny person who wants everything handed to them, might as well just play showdown.
I remember Pokemon Ruby had braille translations in the back of the manual.
Hey everyone. Really appreciate the feedback, it's clear that this list doesn't necessary reflect everyone's experiences with some really annoying Pokemon. I'll need to post a follow up in the future, but I want to thank you all for making me look for Tree Munchlax. It's truly a joy!
I'm not done with the countdown, but if Munchlax (D/P/PT) didn't make the list, it should've. It has a 1% encounter rate, and can only appear on four trees, (completely random). It atleast should've had Combee.
Necrozma lowest catch rate little info on it for being a legendary, only shows up in post post game in an area most people don't even know exists. Trolls you by making you think it's a UB so you can just throw a beast ball at it even though that's just making your life even worse. Also it shows up in normal grass so not many will notice it and the main strat for finding it makes you not get to use your main Pokemon (cause repels and levels). Your not doing that without a guide but no sun and moon don't have insanely hard Pokemon to get.
If I'm not mistaken, RSE had a section in the booklet that had a braille to letter guide in it. I could be wrong but I SWEAR I remember that. Still...fricking ridiculous. Catch a pokemon with low spawn rate that only shows up in one area, catch a more common one and evolve it, have dig, have fly, all this after you do the long ass tide crap...yeesh...then you have to go where they are to top it all off....blech
Super Sword Gaming the oras official guidebook has it too

Braille is a brilliant invention, but... if you put it on a screen it becomes non-functional. And if you don't know anyone who uses Braille, odds are you won't recognise it. Which I didn't. Which is why it was a stupid idea.
Hoenn region taught me to fluently read braille. Like I legit had brailled memorized for a few years as a child. Lol
I cant remember it now though
I disagree with the regi's one. I thought the translating braille and weird steps were really fun. It added an element of mystery to the legendaries, and made it feel so much cooler when I finally encountered them. It was one of the things I loved in the original sapphire/ruby.
The braille is the problem, not the puzzle itself. If they added an npc ingame that showed you the braille alphabet then you could solve the puzzle without needing to look it up on the internet or learning to read braille.
@@solidzack Honestly I thought that's what made it great though. You had to really want it to unravel the secrets. And it wasn't some bullshit nintendo event that was super exclusive. Anyone could do it if they actually tried. And even back in the days of the original sapphire/ruby most people had access to internet. At least enough to load an ign guide or a picture of Braille characters. It just seems like a trivial thing to be so upset about when Pokemon nowadays practically requires hours of research on stats and movesets/etc. I had a lot of fun deciphering it, it kinda felt like an Easter egg
@@mightyblaster3320 back when I played this game as a kid I hadnt access to the internet, in fact i didnt even have a phone with access to the internet. So I never knew you could even get these pokemon. And I was too young to know that this was supposed to braille and not some sort of Morse code or something. At least some npc should give you a hint on what's going on
@@solidzack :/ I mean, i was like 11 when they came out, and we at least had dial up. And i even remember the days of going to the public library to use the computers/print stuff out. Might have been a little bit of extra work, but at least it wasn't gated by special Nintendo events or having to trade with other players. And its a hell of a lot better than older games that were impossible to beat without a nintendo power subscription or friend with one. The Regis weren't even a crucial part of the game, so it didn't hinder anything aside from pokedex completion.
@@mightyblaster3320 as for the regis, yes they were optional. But there was also a braille part in firered/leafgreen that was crucial for beating the game. Although it wasn't as complex as in R/S/E I still couldnt figure out what to do, and so I was basically stuck.
Heracross from GSC and Munchlax from D/P/P are both deserving of spots on your list and definitely outclass your Golems in terms of how difficult they are to obtain in their respective games.
Once you find out where the rare trees are (think there are online tools that can help you find where they are, they're determined by your trainer ID), Heracross is easy to find, just headbutt the same trees over and over until you get it. But yeah, Munchlax is definitely on another level way beyond the Golems.
I was always a fan of the way the designed the golems. It's a riddle and it's supposed to be hard.
okay I didn't get the whole this is braille as a kid and i was taught braille in kinder because my teachers aide used braille to read and it was fun to learn. I think I didnt catch on because a flat surface did not tell my brain these bumps are braille because ... well flat surface with no bumps meant not braille lol. But im glad for guide books. I honestly though it was related to dominos or something hahaha
but pokemon is for kids dude, it's not supposed to be hard
@@Kimarnic the game itself isn't hard. This is a secret though. Not accesable to everyone as secrets should be. I remember my first time cracking the code. It was a huge deal to me and I was hyped. I never had something in a video game ever since.

honorable mention to Abra, which is relatively rare in most games, is fast for its level, and immediately uses teleport. easy enough when you come back for one at later levels of course.

9:40 reading braille a problem? if you actually bought the game, at the back of the handbook there was a braille deciphering chart. y'no, no need for looking it up...
edit; it was in the emerald handbook.
If you were a poor boy like me you just got the cart used from Gamestop
can confirm i also had the Prima Guide which had that in there as well
Bitch if the person playing were blind they wouldn’t be able to touch bumpings in the screen and therefore couldn’t read. If the person playing weren’t blind 99,99% would not be able to read Braille.
My Ruby manual also had a braille decipering chart, that's how I managed to get the golems back then too
For people who bought the game used without the box (like myself) it may be the only way to get them lol.

Kangaskhan definitely deserved its spot in top 10, especially when you take into consideration the context of the time period. When the game first came out, information wasn't easily accessible online. In the 90s, you couldn't simply look up why Kangaskhan kept breaking out of the ball and whether to keep tossing balls vs. using some combination of rocks, food, balls, in a certain order. I managed to get 150/151 of my pokedex complete as a kid. Kangaskhan was literally the only one I couldn't nail, because there was no way that I could tell that I was supposed to repeat the same strategy over and over, and which one to repeat. The difference between "This is the wrong strategy, I need to stop doing this" and "This is a low % strategy, I need to keep doing this" is incredibly difficult to discern in a pre-internet gaming world. The creator of this video caught it in 30 minutes (15 minutes on 2x speed) on an emulator, but that's because he knew what to do. Imagine trying to pull this off when you have multiple different combinations to try and zero information on which path is the one you had to keep repeating. It was a nightmare.
150/151...you knew the mew glitch without the internet?
@@waddy3389 nah I just cheated for mew. I think there was a way to legit get it at events before the internet though
Chancy was harder than Kangas kan in my opinion
@@sthenelos1 Chansey has a location outside of Safari, that made it free.
The fact that it just had a low appearance rate and other pokemon would also break free didn't give it away?
What about Riolu in HG/SS? You have to set up safari zone a certain way then wait 70 regular days just to get the opportunity to catch it.
magic217685 would turning the clock to the last minute between the days on the ds clock count as those 70 days
@@crunchmeister3204 doubtful as pokemon keeps track of the time and will say that you are trying to cheat the time for other time related things like migrating.
Uh, what? You do realize that getting any pokemon from the bagon evolutionary line in that game means waiting twice as long, right? Riolu ain't nothing
Gible is 100 days
No, my choice for this is the HG/SS Metang.
As many of you may or may not know, the Johto safari has a bit of a weird gimmick, called blocks, after you get the national dex, and completed both of the Safari wardens (Baoba) challenges, you unlock various items to use as decorative lures to attract new pokemon, this is how you get various pokemon such as Bronzor, Riolu, and in my case Metang in HG/SS.
The problems with this gimmick is that you might need to look up a guide to find various mons, which leads me to my 2nd and probably the big deal-breaker for many of you.
Each block that can attract pokemon has a set value, at the start each block has a value of 1, with each area capping at a total of 30 blocks.
There are 4 different block types that attract various pokemon: Plains, Forrest, Peak, And Waterside.
Now you may be asking "How do I upgrade the value on my blocks" Well the answer is simple: You wait 10 IRL days, for one of each block type to upgrade, and they all upgrade in the order above. With the cap value being 4.
So to maximize the total value of each block, you need to to play HG/SS for a little while for 130 days, or 4 MONTHS. and this is for each individual Area (And no, changing the date on your ds/dsi/3ds will not work). But, once they are at maximum value, removing the blocks or the area does not reset the multiplier.
So for me, I needed to wait a whole MONTH before I could get the chance of finding a Metang in the mountain area with a value of 56 Peak point values. I prepared also by stocking up on repels and getting a lvl 43 pokemon with Magnet Pull (the Magnemite line being the only real option), Thus increasing my rate of finding a Metang to majority odds (with the only other encounter being Lunatone)
Now the main issue with the Metang line is that, it has the same catch-rate as legendaries, and I mean 3/255, so getting this in a safari ball .... yeah.
It took me a week and a shiny lunatone later to finally catch one. But with all the preparation, time, and tedious "running away", i question if it was really worth it.
Why do people think that Feb as is the hardest pokemon to catch generation 4 munchlax is the hardest to get because there are only 3 or so trees that munchlax can appear on and they are based off of your secret trainer code which you can not see and it is different for everyone so you can't look it up on you tube or something. Also even if you do get the right tree munchlax only has a 1% chance of showing up on top of the waiting for 6 hour thing.
Right? Really surprised that wasn't on the list.
nintendo venoct Gen 4 Feebas is easy 3 is harder anyway. By default its based off SID like munchlax so their are only 8 tile on the route it may appear when fishing. That includes the tiles that can't be reached
nintendo venoct it is because feebas can only be found on 4 tiles in the whole gen 4 games, and it changes the places everyday. The worst part is to find it you have to fish on every tile!
nintendo venoct you know what's funny my first tree was a Munchlax,and I run away,XD,I was a dumbass

You put Combee on here but NOT Munchlax? As you said, you can just soft reset to get the desired gender but for a Munchlax, it can only appear on 3 or 4 trees depending on what your Trainer and Hidden IDs are and you can only ever find out where TWO of them are through math calculations, so you're restricted to slathering honey on two trees and jumping between the two trees every few hours in hopes there's a Munchlax on it, and chances are it isn't because it has something like a 1% spawn rate. Also Chansey is worse in regards to the R/B/Y safari zone. This list is a mess with lots of personal whining.
Villager101 agree. Throughout the video i felt like he just whined about everything, the puzzles gamefreak adds are super cool and different from any other game and he hates it? Lmao
Villager101 you realize he made a comment about munchlax a year ago on this video right? :p
Victor Tamez Becuase going to a random island located in butt fuk nowhere and then going afk for 2 minutes is super cool and different!
AT least Munchlax can theoretically be acquired by transferring its evolution from gen 3 and breeding it with the right incense...
And yes Chansey is far worse not only in R/B/Y but also in the FRLG safari Zone...
It's not a few hours. It's 24 hours edit: (munchlax trees wait Time)
C'mon, the way you find the Regis is one of the coolest thing ever made in Pokemon! I was amazed the first time I realized, as a kid, that at the end of the instruction manual there was a Braile dictionary.
It's been a while since I played D/P, but at the Valley Windworks, isn't it in the dialogue that the balloon pokemon shows up on Friday?
After defeating Mars,
Little girl: "Maybe the balloon Pokemon will come visit again!"
Scientist: "Ah, yes. There's a balloon Pokemon that comes to the windworks a certain day of the week but i don't remember which"
Not to mention the dialogue doesn't appear again as soon as you exit the building after defeating Mars :/
Drifloon is said on its Dex entry to carry away children, on a Friday is when kids are most interactive, school days they usually go straight home, Sunday and Saturday the children stay at home. And that's my theory
Can I get 10 likes on my theory?
No
Or maybe drifloon apears onky friday because of black friday
That's actually really smart...
Kitty Catz nice theory
I actually kinda liked the Braille mechanic (in R/S/E that is). I had a dictionary which had a braille translator in the back, and it was nice to finally get a use out of the thing, as well as have a real life method of solving that puzzle.
honestly the regis was one of the most fun things to do as a kid, before the internet you went to the library and figured out what it said and then you had to solve the riddles. It felt like a treasure hunt and when you finally finished you had legendary pokemon that none of your friends could get, it was the ultimate bragging rights as a kid.
The drifloon I actually stumbled upon it while I was slathering honey at trees to try my luck on munchlax and all coincidences fell on me and boom, I got a drifloon
he didnt mention the munchlax too, but he mentioned the combee
I was just running around and I found the drifloon
@@zephyrelizabeth965 because combee is rare and 50% or 25% of female combee makes it more harder
Wait, why female Combee instead of munchlax?
12.5% chance to be female.
And munchlax is in only two of the 28 trees and its based on your trainer id so its different for everybody
I have a friend who has a story relating to obtaining munchlax. He toiled for days finding the right trees, and once he finally found the right ones, he was blessed to find an Action Replay in a Wal-Mart
Lol you guys do know that this is like 1 year ago? He probably realized it by now
@@Slowlii munchlax was the worst of all pokemon ever
You have to read braille, a language for the visually impaired, on a virtual screen that you wOULDNT BE ABLE TO SEE ANYWAY
Or touch. Braille is a rather brilliant idea for allowing the blind/visually impaired to read. The touch screen...has no means of reading by touch. HOWEVER, I feel as if the inclusion of Braille for non-visually impaired is actually a positive thing for another reason; hopefully, it would encourage players to learn about it, and discover something new, broadening their horizons. Yeah, I know, Pokemans doing something like that when all we want to do is play the only game that made Gameboy what it is today, but I still appreciate the effort put into challenging players in a positive way. Frustrating as hell? YOU BET, I hated it too. But was it a good idea? I think so.
Z,
In the guidebook that came with the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald cartridges, there was a braille alphabet. We had no internet back in the day, heck, I did not have a computer at home, so we just used the guidebook to read the text letter by letter and solve all the riddles and catch all the golems.
It felt so nice as an accomplishment, and I personally found it to be one of the most interesting features of these games. Also, the pokemon where super hard to catch, so the feeling was even greater when you made it.

Nenno_Boy metang isn’t rare though. It’s found easily in the Giant Chasm
SonicKing/PhotonXyz 0 right but It's a 3 catch rate (same percentage as a legendary). Maybe not top ten worthy but still, the catch rate is ridiculous
Sadly they think its funny or "balanced" to have pseudolegendaries have ridiculously low catch rate honestly
Doesn't help that they often have annoyingly low encounter rates too
Uh... no. Most psuedos dont have low encounter rates. Depends on the game, but usually the encounter rate is pretty high.
Mr. Krabs actually their usually pretty low, not too low in some cases but still low. Their encounter rate is usually 5-20%, with dratini's being 25%, but that's in the safari zone. Also all of them are all only in one place in the entire game, so dratini, is only in one water spot in the entire safari zone. Bagon is in one room in meteor falls. Not one of them is the most encounterable pokemon in their one area they are in. So even though the difference in encounter rate may be 5 or 10 for the top one, that's still alot, and you are most likely to encounter that one first and most often. Thats just to get to it though, and all are hard to catch. Again like I said, maybe not top ten worthy, but still hard none of the less.
Munchlax in Gen 4.
2 random honey trees that both depend on you trainer ID can only have a Munchlax.
You have to look up your trainer ID just to pinpoint the 2 trees that have a 1% chance of having Munchlax.
And in Diamond and Pearl, you can hold only one honey.
In Sun and moon, munchlax has a 0.5 catch rate on one of the routes like 1 2 or 3
Yashi The Cat really I got it first ultra ball like 3

I only have Diamond and you can definitely hold more than one Honey. Though you can only buy one at a time, if that was different.

"In X and Y, this is the only way to get Kanto starters"
okay, how is munchlax from diamond, pearl, and platinum, not on this list..? in order to encounter munchlax, you need to use the honey method. now heres the catch, only 4 trees in the whole game can spawn munchlax, and they are random each playthough. if you manage to somehow find one of only four trees that can spawn munchlax,you have, a 1% chance to encounter it...

Your indignation at the brail puzzle is equal parts amusing and perplexing. I could tell on sight it was brail and while I don't have the brail alphabet memorized the library existed even before the internet
I honestly don't see the braille thing as an issue. Its like a game sending a message in morse code. Hardly anyone I know knows more code, but its the experience of feeling like you're cracking a code that they're trying to give you.
Kriegsblade i had a Japanese copy of emerald as a kid and still solved it with youtube videos
Tbh it didn’t affect me at all if you had the instruction booklet for ruby and sapphire you’d find the Braille alphabet n the back of the booklet.
Most kids didn't like to read booklets cause they were f*cking lazy, and they still are for the most part. It's from the braille episode that I distinguish who really appreciated Pokèmon and who played just cause it was cool and discarded it right away after finding these "dot things".

This is exactly why Kangaskhan has been my favourite Mon. After spending a bunch of time in the Safari Zone seeing a bunch of Nidoran and Parasect when that Gen 1 sprite crossed the screen and seeing this large monster to just have it run away it drove me to finally catch it. She's been my fave ever since.
NPC'S explain/tell you about most of these "Things you had to look up". Someone isn't actually playing the game.
truely goes to show: always talk to npcs
Like Driffloon. The girl at the station litteraly tells you when you can meet it.
thank you
not the braille thing.
@@hatredmalice7273 to be fair most Npcs are useless but you kinda get a general idea which ones are important so maybe don't waste your time talking to all of them
Excuse me
What about the f*cking abra
Use a quickball
@@ShatMedia13 In the first games there was no thing called Quick Ball. 😅
@@Halipatsuinen Oh yeah
@@ShatMedia13 just use a normal pokeball and it normally catches first time. And Abra doesn't have a low appearance rate so it's easy
or ralts
ME, I had enough patience to buy that porygon. And I hated it.
Same. But I used the Missingno trick on a Nugget to get enough money for it.
Thats why you get dratini
Just get a friend who has blue, and trade for his porygon. Life hack from 1996. lol
I did that shit too, back in the day...
I played the slot machines untill I had enough! 😂 Took so long time, but I was like 9-10 and didn't have anything else to do with my time then to play the game. :)
the braille in ruby/sapphire is in the guide book. it's time consuming, but totally doable, especially for kids who are fine spending all day playing pokémon. my choice would be munchlax. it uses the same home mechanic, only appears on 3-4 trees, and even then, it's a 1% encounter rate (i think, it might be higher)
My favorite thing about gen 3 was the puzzles. As ridiculous as they were, I loved that it was some actual mystery stuff that people had to really work and just basically try random stuff towards until they made that breakthrough and figured it out. Closest thing I'd compare it to is Easter egg hunting in Call Of Duty Zombies.
Old post but this was my opinion of the regis and Rayquaza when I originally had the game, but his complaining about Surskit kinda threw me off considering I got like four surskit when I was trying to get a gulpin. o-O
The braille part was one of my favorites from Sapphire. My grandmother and I would work together to figure out what it was saying using the tablets that were given to you, reading the braille alphabet in order. We wrote it all down, and translated it, and I got really excited when I showed her one of the legendary golems I found with her help. She helped me with the unown pokedex in gen 4 as well, and I'd show her the safaris I'd build in Heart Gold. Definitely one of my favorite gaming memories :3
what?! the golems are one of the greatest thing! the alphabet was on the manual and i was a bit conused as a child when I first got the game. but then when I cam across the plates and firstly was confused again and then stumbled about the letters again puzzling it all together was so great! they give you all the tools you need but its not easy for your age. its great not bad design. it rewards you for the struggle.
The "stand still for 2 minutes" is bad design though. The rest of it is fun.
its not so much about what you gotta do but more how you find out about it
A lot of games I played as kid were just mostly doing random things/knowing how it works, but not knowing where to go.
Maximilian Neumann it is worse in Ora’s where there is no translator
Andrew Krzyzaniak there is a thing called THE INTERNET. Just so you know
I got the golems when I was a kid and that felt awesome, man. I was lucky enough to have a super pokenerd friend and he guided me. I know it is crazy unintuitive, but from the perspective of a dude who managed to make it totally worth it!
Didn’t the gen 3 games come with a Braille guide?
Yes, they did
I bought a used copy of Ruby without a box so I had to use the internet for the Brialle parts. Interesting how they decided to put that in there though.
I was lucky and learned braille at the age of 8 because I thought I would be cool if I learned it
You were right, it definitely is cool.
Yes it did, I used to use that guide.
I think rotom appears on Tuesdays exclusively because Tuesday is a popular update day for a lot of electronics.
Kitten Storm no, it is on any day, but only at night.
Kitten Storm f*ck it was x/y
nvm

Oh no. You had to solve a PUZZLE?!?! For shame, game developers. How dare you hide your content behind such mind trickeries. Our Gen 3 brains cannot handle it!
When ur blind and can read brail but you cant see the screen... 😂
This Is what I thought 😂 yeah it might've been difficult to catch them but Nintendo aren't just going to go "yeah have these 4 legendary pokemon for no fuss at all" that's just not fun... I would've said they were difficult to catch, not annoying
Shadow gamer6496 so imagine not having the internet; no friends with internet (or no blind friends lol); youd have NO way of solving these puzzles, its a foreign language, not simply trickery.
I lived far enough from the library that i couldnt ride my bike there and look it up, and i didnt like the idea of buying guides for games anyways
@@bobdole1832 I understand what you mean, that would be really annoying 😂 but then those are very specific conditions, most people now have access to that stuff (key word - most). I mean, if you didn't have all that, how would you know they were there in the first place? That's one way to look at it 😂 and I've also seen loads of people commenting on how it tells you in the manual about it, but I personally never look at game manuals and eventually they get lost.
Bob Dole I didn’t have an original copy, but supposedly the R/S manual had a Braille alphabet guide
I remember when my dad and I were trying to figure out what the dots were for the Pokémon golems. We didn’t have internet, or at least we weren’t so accustomed to using it, and I remember watching an episode of Arthur on television. They talked about braille and I immediately recognized the dots. Then we took out our encyclopedia and deciphered it together. It was a fun day and a good memory.
