I recently (as in literally about a month ago) found another pokemon fact that has gone unknown since the FR and LG remakes of gen1. There is dialogue from Prof. Oak that occurs during your first battle with Gary after you pick your starters. There are dialogue options for every conceivable action you can commit in a battle, but there are dialogues that occur ONLY if you have hacked the game in certain ways (like using a universal randomizer to make your starter immune to Gary's and randomizing the potion in the PC to other healing items). One such collection of extra unseen dialogues are: - Oak comments on you switching to a second pokemon when your first pokemon faints. - Oak comments on you using Pokemon that resist your opponent's moves. - Oak comments on you putting status conditions on a pokemon. (There may possibly even be dialogue for every single action possible in a battle)

Guy who sent in his copy of Pokemon Ruby to get it patched here - I remember reading some kids magazine back in the day where Nintendo ran an ad asking players to sent in their game. I think it was related to the internal clock of the game, after a year or so the clock wouldn't work anymore and no more berries could grow in your game. I had my parents send the cartridge to Nintendo (Germany in my case) and shortly after they returned it. And like you mentioned, a shiny Zigzagoon holding a rare berry, otherwise unobtainable in the game, was newly added to one of my boxes. So yea, shit worked :)

On a slightly related note: Nintendo would allow anyone who screwed up the infamous "tweaking" or "Surf glitches" from the Gen 4 games (the latter only working on the Japanese copies) to send in their games and be hacked out of the black void. This is because while if done properly, the glitches were very safe, if not done properly, you could have been stuck in the void forever.

Same here, i remember reading somewhere u could send in your ruby/sapphire carts so berries would start growing again, however i clearly remember it didn't say you'd get a shiny Zigzagoon, but 'a special pokemon' (Dutch translated magazine, as I am Belgian) & i actually anticipated something way rarer (like a Celebi or the thing u needed to get to Deoxys) so i was quite disappointed, however I did evolve it into a Linoone (i think it had orange lining?) I even think it did have a move/ability it normally couldn't have? I'm not entirely sure though... We're talking about 14 years ago here or something

I have a fact for you, you might not know yet: In Gen 8 some of the German names of Pokémon attacks were changed, to make more sense. E.g. Pound was called "Pfund", which does translate to Pound, but refers to the unit of measurement or the currency. It is not called "Klaps" which is a light slap.

@@eminentstir As a child I legitimately assumed "Pfund" might be an outdated synonym for "Schlag" or "Hieb" (Punch). Luckily, I never got into the awkward position of actually using it that way and being met with utter confusion. Unlike the move Kratzfurie (Fury Swipes), where I thought it meant "a load of swipes" and once said "Furie" instead of "Fuhre" (load), not knowing about the Greek/Roman goddesses of vengeance, called Furie/Furien (fury/furies).

I’m an American who has learned a decent chunk of German so I like to play Pokémon in German and I was so confused about that. I was like “I thought Pfund meant like weight but I’m not German what do I know” 😂

The reason for Gen 4's script having internet humor scattered through it isn't just because of the timing. One of the people on the translation team, Nob Ogasawara, frequented the SomethingAwful boards and there's actually a few direct references to that site sprinkled around gens 4 and 5.

In earlier games when breeding pokemon you could have a male and a female of that pokemon species know a move that the species learns later and the egg will hatch with that move learned. Not like an egg move but just you can farm down entire move sets of the higher level moves. That explains why some pokemon can be seen knowing moves at earlier levels.

Fun fact the orange Poketch thing got explained in the Pokémon Adventures manga, it was custom made for someone else entirely. Basically, in the manga, Platinum (Dawn) is the daughter of some super rich guy who hired bodyguards to protect her on her journey, and she was told they would be wearing red and green scarves because that should be specific enough, right… except Diamond (Lucas) and Pearl (Barry) also wear red and green scarves, friends who had just won a prize for a standup comedy contest, but before they opened up the envelope with the tickets to find out what it was (a free guided bike tour of Jubilife City), and due to some circumstances they bumped into Platinum’s dad and got the envelope mixed up with the envelope in which Platinum’s dad had the top secret details and contract and whatnot for the bodyguards, so Diamond and Pearl open up this envelope and see something about a trip to Mount Coronet with a crazy high “bounty” and assume it was some sort of crazy luxury trip with a huge cash prize, while Platinum meets up with them and assumes that her father must have found some incredible skilled preteen bodyguards so that nobody would suspect anything and think it was just three friends on a journey, and Diamond and Pearl are given the Poketches, Pokédexes, and Starter Pokémon that had been prepared for the bodyguards, and they set out on a journey together with Diamond and Pearl convinced that Platinum is some weirdly demanding and pushy tour guide, and Platinum convinced that Diamond and Pearl are these expert bodyguards who are so clever that they act incompetent and unaware as a cover story and that their standup comedy consisting mostly of Pokémon puns are a secret training exercise, and the whole thing is hilarious and wholesome and if you’re ever going to read the Pokémon Adventures manga I’d say read the Diamond and Pearl arc and Platinum arc because I love these three dumbasses and you will too

Interesting enough I was surprised to find a flying Garchomp near the Pokémon league in Pokémon violent the other day. It was flying above the great crater directly while I was battling it, my Pokémon actually fell into the crater during the battle and the battle continue, and it was kind of ironic because whenever the Garchomp would attack it would have to travel down to attack it

I remember getting that shiny Zigzagoon through a kiosk at Gamestop. I don't remember how I ever heard of it to begin with, but clearly younger me was severely misunderstood as to what I would be getting. I misread the prerequisite of needing to obtain your starter pokemon as me thinking I'd be receiving my choice of one of the other two starters. Needless to say I was confused as hell why I got an off colored Zigzagoon (yeah there's the other kicker, I didn't know what shinies were yet despite previously playing Gold version and catching the red Gyarados), so I took the Liechi berry and released the thing 😭

Back then i only knew about shinies because we had a game shark where one option was to encounter only shinies, not sure if the option really called it "shiny" though. I thought the red gyrados was even more special, like a legend, so we all thought there must be a secret area or something were you can encounter all the other off color pokemon since the cheat existed. We had no clue that they are just extremely rare encounters.

Regarding getting stuck in a pokemon game, I was stuck for several days in my first run-thru of Sapphire but it was due to my own stupidity. In my defense, I was only ten at the time lol. So right in front of the trick house, where the cycling road's bridge stretches over the route, I didn't realize you could go UNDER the bridge. I paced back and forth and went to the left instead, battled every trainer, tried to interact with trees, etc... Finally I accidentally clicked too far and went under the bridge.... Yeah... I was pretty embarrassed LOL

Could listen to this all day!

Great video! Thanks for uploading!

There is a glitch city glitch in Links Awakening as well that causes a strange color palate swap and it creates a rather cool brown forest-like sepia tone effect that can be permanently applied to the game if saved. In order to activate it you have to be using emulation and use rewind over and over til you see the error code "this game must be played on a gameboy color"

Remember you can meet Rhyperior in the Battle tower in Emerald. I where so suprised because you couldn’t catch or get that mon

7:58 Here's some more interesting sprite trivia about the Gen II games. Crystal used mostly Gold and Silver sprites but featured some unique sprites (though, only for a few Pokémon) one I can think of off the top of my head is Graveler. There doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list of all the sprites unique to Crystal but there's a blurb on Bulbapedia on the Pokémon's trivia section: *"(Pokemon's) Crystal sprite is different from that of Gold and Silver, making it one of few Pokémon to have three distinctly different sprites in Generation II."* 11:25 The Time Capsule is also the only way to get Gen I moves on Pokémon that couldn't learn them in RBY (such as Elemental Punch Alakazam, Earthquake Aerodactyl & Fly Dragonite.) 35:20 Also, because Shininess was determined by IVs in Gen II, it was *impossible* for females of 7:1 gender ratio species (starters, Eeveelutions, fossils, Togepi & Snorlax) to be Shiny (an Attack IV of at least 2 was required for Shininess and females of those species maxed out at 1.) Going along with Shininess & IVs, only Unown I and V could be Shiny. Gen II didn't allow breeding if Defense IVs were the same, so Shiny Pokémon *could not* breed with each other. 48:35 I always thought that was referring to a sports video game (as opposed to televised sports) since the other TVs you can interact with mention a puzzle game (looks addictive,) a fighting game (looks tough) & an RPG (there’s no time for that!) As for actual sports, I know baseball is canonical in the world of the anime (Electabuzz super-fan Casey and her team of yellow & black striped Pokémon and of course, Chikorita.) Not to mention all the sports (football, baseball, basketball, soccer & tennis) played in Nimbasa City in BW/BW2.

I’ve looked up tons of play threws and I cannot find any one else who’s found this. I wish I had taken a full video of all of the secret dialog, but I didn’t realize it was different until after i had read it all and continued the game

Great content.

One thing I’ve noticed is in gen 2, the bicycle theme is Goldenrods theme sped up

Adding on to the fact about seeing your Pokémon's backsprite in its Summary: If you use the stylus and do quick horizontal swipes on the touch screen, then your Pokémon's sprite will start bouncing from left to right like it's dancing!

The background noise I didn't know I needed

I totally forgot about the RS bookmark! I think I got mine from a book fair. Need to check all my childhood books now

I see you named your Turtwig Donnatello. A man of culture

Fun fact: 雷 (kaminari) is generally translated as thunder, while イナズマ (inazuma) is generally translated as lightning. So that's the difference between them. In Japanese, the words have completely different origins and have been used differently.

I think it was related to the internal clock of the game, after a year or so the clock wouldn't work anymore and no more berries could grow in your game

Dunno if anyone mentioned it to you on the previous video with the fact but poison types will still always hit the move toxic, what was patched out was a glitch where, with certain set ups you get poison types to use toxic and then another move in the same turn and that move would also never miss (think nidoking with fissure that is guaranteed to hit)

The marriage line is a reference to yokai, which a Japanese audience would have caught onto.
