Why does it have to be dark? Maybe he's trying to get a competitive Tentacool with perfect IVs and the right nature. He would have to catch it to know its stats, so he would be catching a lot of them before he found the right one. Very inefficient way of doing it, but you do you.
I think the tentacool guy is catching a lot of tentacool because he's doing some sorta sketchy immortality research. Comparing different genes of thousands of tentacool, until he finds one that can live an insanely long time, like some breeds of jellyfish IRL.
He's probably a lifeguard, who just catches a billion tentacools to control their population and stop swimmers from getting stung by them. Getting stung by a jellyfish hurts like hell.
Can you imagine if as a kid you were lucky enough to get a shiny on your first go so you tell all your friends dude if you release all your pokemon here this guy will give you a shiny because thats what you believed
An octopus or a squid? It's clearly a jellyfish. Of course this isn't necessarily a point against your idea since edible jellyfish, while rare, are also a delicacy in some Asian countries. You gotta be careful eating a Poison type though.
I was curious about its Trainer ID, I was really hoping there was some super rare npc TID but the fact that it's a gift mon that DOES just copy your own is still actually very interesting in and of itself..thank you for sharing!! 😊
I like to imagine he was collecting Tentacool specifically for unfortunate people who would otherwise have no way off the island. Think about it, YOU might be getting stuff for free all over the place, but would others be getting free fishing rods and stuff? Maybe someone else has surf, brought you there, and ditched you. Maybe you need to get out of a bad situation, but your abuser's the one with a surfing Pokemon. This man might've saved some people's lives in-universe.
@@jfb- No he said ther NPC might have been doing it I asked if the PLAYER can Cuz by that logic we couldn't since all of those would be the non-shiny ones
Bro, he must have been a Pokemon collector. In diamond and pearl, which was also can be finded in routes( not that exact)in the same generation as heartgold and soulsilver. A Pokemon collector collects only one type of Pokemon like only munchlax, or only Pikachu, etc. but, if he is , than he must have been a famous legendary Pokemon collector
1:05 keeping the shuckle is literally leaving the side quest incomplete, there is a trigger at some point where after a while you can return the pokemon to its owner. I mean why keep it when you can rock smash roughly 30-40 steps away and catch your own...
0:59 "There's no catch" hahaha as a dad, I laughed too much at this. I see what you did there... there's no catch since you got a Pokémon handed to you already caught, and the obvious pun. Nice.
My big question is...On how the fudge did people kept on getting soft locked there, so much so that the devs had to step in? As far as I can tell, the only way to get soft locked is if the players were actually to go and do it, to have to go out of their way to get themselves soft locked there. Seriously...Why?
Because people are really, REALLY dumb. They do something stupid and then complain about it like they didn't have all the time in the world to not do it.
They had similar places people could do it in previous games, so they probably just got complaints from a few rare players that released their only HM pokemon hoping to get a cooler one soon without initially realising they stranded themself.
What the game should do is if said situation is met, it automatically restarts the game, deletes your save and calls the player an idiot and to try again.
"Ypu cant help to show off your pokemon. I'd love to show a friend mine mine one day" This dialogue cost me so much time. I knew he wanted to give you or show you a pokemon. I tried so hard to figure out how.
I mean if you really think about it, it does make perfect sense that they wouldn't give you his trainer ID, because if he is a chef as you said he might be, then he isn't a Pokemon trainer as he is catching those Tentacools as a product for food basically, while you on the other hand are indeed a trainer, so it makes sense to have it registered under your name since you will raise it for battle, I guess you could also say the same thing as whenever you are given a Pokemon by the Pokemon professors as your starter, since technically the Professors do not have those Pokemon for battles, but they had them more for research purposes so when they give them to you, that's when you start your journey as a trainer and that is why they have your ID too.
probably because no one , just playing the game, would intentionally release all their pokemon at any point, never mind when you're on an island that you need surf or fly to be able to leave it, x'D unless someone else did it to them as some cruel prank or sibling pay back or something .
So the reason that we eat food, is because we need nutrition in order to power our bodies. We get that from the food, so that's why we eat. Thanks for watching guys, like and subscribe. /s lol
He does not own infinite Tentacools. He just turns out to be a Tentacool collector who has one of each possible Tentacool, shiny or not, with each possible combination of amounts of IVs. Every time he feels generous he donates one of his Tentacools to you and when you release it, the Tentacool just comes back to his original collector. If u happen to train, level up or even evolve the Tentacool, the collector will breed it to obtain the exact same copy again and level it to exactly level 15 with rare candies (to avoid having it gain EVs). This man is just a Tentacool fanatic, nothing more, nothing less
Seeing this video reminds me of that classy trainer from Indigo League Pokemon anime. The episode where Ash saved a charmanders life that his trainer abandoned and Ash ended up catching. Anyway when the trainer was introduced he had a mountain of pokeballs filled with pokemon he "caught" despite the established six pokemon limit rule. It may not be the same thing but its what I was reminded of.
Act he is a shiny hunter after I interviewed him he said: if I run away I might encounter the same pokemon 😂 so I just capture them to increase my odds
@@oucyannot every Pokémon. The baby Pokémon’s and most of the legendaries don’t lay eggs. And you can’t blame artist liberty to stretch your logic to real life.
@@wkeezz Baby pokemon don't lay eggs because they're babies. that'd be weird. Legendaries can't breed because then they'd be too easy to obtain, so for that reason, they can't breed. however, it is assumed that legendaries do breed in the wild, as some legendaries do have mixed genders or gendered counterparts (like Heatran being able to be both male and female, and the Lati's being gendered counterparts to each other) As for artistic liberties, I'm not blaming them. I'm literally saying that with artistic liberties, jellyfish can have complex, human-like eyeballs, and that you shouldn't take certain features to mean certain things. Like, look at shuckle, a lot of people call it a turtle, but it's definitely not a turtle, just has some traits in common with turtles like being able to withdraw into their shell (which is made of rock according to pokedex entries btw, not part of their body)
He is just there so you don't get soft block. No pokemon means no surf no fly, meaning you stuck I believe it's not the only one there are more NPCs like him on other games, if I recall correctly black and white have the same I think
There's two problems with the chef theory: Tentacool is a jellyfish, not an octopus. There's Octillery for that. Tentacool's body is also 99% water. That last 1% is probably all of its poison. Kind of like how Plankton from Spongebob is apparently 1% evil and 99% hot gas.
Npc: i am nice enough to get 10000000000 tentacools in case this boy has only one pokemon and he is acusing me of being a tentacool cook??? How disgusting >:(, here, have another tentacool >:(
The guy with yhe shuckle, later asks to get his pkmn back but not the item it holds, giving it back will make him happy and not returning it he will either be disappointed with the player or treating him/her as a thief, so i got itand made an egg to then return his pkmn.
Ummm...the original trainer thing is just not true. It's not even the only gift pokemon in the exact same game that will show you as the OT. The gift Eevee Bill gives you will in both Heart Gold and Soul Silver. The same with the gift Porygon and Eevee in Platinum.
but why should you release all your pokemon? I mean if you dont know this one then why should you do it? The goal of the game is to "catch them all". Seems a little sus to me. I mean yes i heard your explanation but why are they all releasing their pokemon on that specific island? If i was curious on what would happen if i release all my pokemons than i would pick ANY City. So what is the reason all this people did it in this city?

So all of this to just prevent a softlock

Why does it have to be dark? Maybe he's trying to get a competitive Tentacool with perfect IVs and the right nature. He would have to catch it to know its stats, so he would be catching a lot of them before he found the right one. Very inefficient way of doing it, but you do you.
That's boring.
He probably just wanted to breed the ones with the good IV he wanted.
But how did he know you have only one pokemon unless he can read your mind, maybe he is pokemon jesus
why does eating them have to be dark is the actual question
Best answer
Bro was breeding competitive Tentacools, giving us his rejects. 🤣
I don’t really care about competitive you already know what my kind is
Breedjects
I think the tentacool guy is catching a lot of tentacool because he's doing some sorta sketchy immortality research. Comparing different genes of thousands of tentacool, until he finds one that can live an insanely long time, like some breeds of jellyfish IRL.
Or research on body regeneration, since tentacool can regenerate lost tentacles.
He's probably a lifeguard, who just catches a billion tentacools to control their population and stop swimmers from getting stung by them. Getting stung by a jellyfish hurts like hell.
his outfit says otherwise
Can you imagine if as a kid you were lucky enough to get a shiny on your first go so you tell all your friends dude if you release all your pokemon here this guy will give you a shiny because thats what you believed
😂
There is a point in D/P/P where you can softlock in a similar situation and there was no failsafe
They probably didn't want it happening again
Same with gen 3.
Is that the guy in the survival area with the Finneon and Magikarp?
@ArthurTRead Pretty sure yeah
Or he recaptures that same Tentacool.
Nope, is instantly so it's impossible catching Pokemon in a pk center
@@GasparePecoraro You release it a few steps from the guy. Why wouldn't he be able to get it?
@@vreeze33 because it is in the same place and there's no water, so can't recatch instantly another or the same magikarp, easy
He's catching the same tentacool you keep releasing
An octopus or a squid? It's clearly a jellyfish. Of course this isn't necessarily a point against your idea since edible jellyfish, while rare, are also a delicacy in some Asian countries. You gotta be careful eating a Poison type though.
I think Tentacruel is a mixture of both a jellyfish and a cephalopod, if its beak is any indication
Tentacool has eyes, it's obviously not a jellyfish.
I think hes a man o war
Tentacool’s Pokédex entry lists it as the jellyfish Pokémon.
@@jacobhoover1654 trees don't have eyes either yet exeggutor has six of them
A bigger flex saying an NPC diving it to you
I love normal gameplay things that in-universe means something wild, like the fella who indeed has just a bit too many tentacools.
If the id is YOURS this means he release his Tentacool and give us a Pokeball to catch him for us? Wow dude, you're so generous!
Maybe we just looking into this too hard. Maybe it's just there to stop a softlock and it's coded to have infinite tentacools.
I was curious about its Trainer ID, I was really hoping there was some super rare npc TID but the fact that it's a gift mon that DOES just copy your own is still actually very interesting in and of itself..thank you for sharing!! 😊

The question is
Can you shine hunt that Tentacool?
I think you can.
yes you can and people have done it
Literally discussed in the video...
@@jfb- No he said ther NPC might have been doing it
I asked if the PLAYER can
Cuz by that logic we couldn't since all of those would be the non-shiny ones
@@leonardopain the video mentions the player can shinyhunt it too
Tentacool and tentacruel are jellyfish, not octopuses or squids
It feels so obvious now that you say it, I feel stupid for thinking it's a squid.
That doesn't explain it's beak, it has to be part cephalopod
it's Pokemon, they're magickal!
Bro, he must have been a Pokemon collector. In diamond and pearl, which was also can be finded in routes( not that exact)in the same generation as heartgold and soulsilver.

7:26 "But what did it cost?" "Everything."
If you are dedicated enough, you can try and go to the customizable safari zone in HGSS
I was not expecting this answer
it's not sinister, it's pokemon lets go
bro has been playing pokemon lets go pichu even before lets go was a thing
he's just chaining tentacools
Infinite Tentacools vs 10 Billion Lions
1:05 keeping the shuckle is literally leaving the side quest incomplete, there is a trigger at some point where after a while you can return the pokemon to its owner. I mean why keep it when you can rock smash roughly 30-40 steps away and catch your own...
A great video popped up, now I am entertained
He’s clearly a shiny breeder, since I would think breeding exists in HG/SS.
Edit: Oh, idk why he would give you a shiny then. Or have it have your ID.
0:59 "There's no catch" hahaha as a dad, I laughed too much at this. I see what you did there... there's no catch since you got a Pokémon handed to you already caught, and the obvious pun. Nice.
You deserve it if you release all your pokemon.
You know another explanation is the guy is an aspect of arceus he does seem to look out for trainers of the light
Or he is grinding for perfect IVs
Would have been better if he gave you a magikarp and youd have to train it up to be able escape.
You cant easily train a magikarp
@battlez9577 That's the point my friend. May be hard but not impossible.
Them: So you finally got your shiny tentacool. What did it cost?
Me: Everything.
lol, hes just watching you release his tentacool, grabs it as its being released and gives it back to you.
My big question is...On how the fudge did people kept on getting soft locked there, so much so that the devs had to step in? As far as I can tell, the only way to get soft locked is if the players were actually to go and do it, to have to go out of their way to get themselves soft locked there.

It doesn't have a trainer id because the npc didn't catch it in a ball rather than in a net or cage as a chef would
Tentacool is a jelly fish
not a bad theory but everything ive seen says tentacool is a jellyfish not a squid. good work on the video btw!

Oh my god, this theory is so funny Im surprised it wasnt put on april the 1st 🍫🗿
Tentacool is actually based on a Jelly Fish
Who on earth would release all their surfers and fliers?
Mane worse than the fishermen 😂
releasing all but one pokemon for a tentacool doesn’t seem worth it 😂
They idiot-proofed the game. I can't believe anybody would have done that.
