I do wonder, what was the context of Masuda saying that? Like did he seriously say "Yes. I believe this was too complicated for children" or was it more like something he said for the sake of giving an answer to Nintendo World? Like "Oh, you want a reason for why we didn't do the Azure Flute event? I don't know. It was too complicated or something? That's your answer. Next question".

@@FraserSouris From the "Pokémon X and Y Interview with Game Freak" interview from Nintendo World Report: "NWR: How come the Azure Flute was never made available in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum? JM: When we were first developing the games we thought about including it. I thought it would be fun. But once the game was complete and released, I changed my mind down the road and didn’t think it would be - I thought it would be confusing for people and kind of hard to understand how it worked. So I eventually made the decision not to distribute it." So even with context you can't really tell what he meant with with it being confusing / hard to understand, my personal canon is they were going to have some augmented reality event or something for it and the entire plan got scrapped. And yes he never used the word complicated, that was just people messing up quotes like they've done since the dawn of time.

@FraserSouris

@@rooislangwtf Yeah. I see what you mean. Even with the full quote, it’s hard to get the full context or Masuda’s intention. My personal “conspiracy theory” was that either: -1- Gamefreak did intend to distribute it, but got side tracked or distracted or something, so basically forgot about distributing the event until NWR reminded Masuda to which he just said he was “too confusing” for the sake of just giving an answer. After all, they did distribute Arceus directly by that point so they probably felt it was too redundant to then do the full event. -2- there was originally planned to be some sort of irl puzzle or challenge players had to solve beforehand that would give the player the Azure Flute. So the whole “using the flute” was essentially part 2 to the “Summon Arceus” storyline. But perhaps said puzzle ended up being too complicated or confusing to implement. So Gamefreak scrapped the idea and just distributed Arceus directly. This would explain Masuda’s phrasing.

I yearn for the day when Gamefreak learns to think about the future when brainstorming new gameplay ideas.

Feel like throwing some malasada-related thoughts out there, since I live on Oahu and I've been hooked on the things ever since S/M came out and introduced me to 'em. :U Anyway, the presentation in S/M seems to be primarily based on Leonard's Bakery, the most famous/popular malasada bakery - they primarily use pink cardboard boxes and their food trucks are all decorated with vertical red stripes, much like the pink-striped banners you can see in-game. However, they actually sell both filled and non-filled malasadas, with the former being named 'malasada puffs'. The puffs are, of course, the main inspiration for Pokemon's take, and the Big Malasada's sprite matches up tit-for-tat with the photos you showed off. Typically, malasada puffs are filled with flavored custard and are finished with a light sugar-coating... but non-filled malasadas actually have different sugar options! There's regular sugar, cinnamon sugar, or li-hing (sour plum) sugar coatings, which I've always likened to Sweet, Spicy and Sour. There's no options for Dry or Bitter, but given the cultural influences and accessibility of different flavors out here, I like to think they'd be black-sesame and matcha-powder, respectively. Part of me actually wants to experiment with making those, but I'm also not brave enough to make fried pastries in the house. ;y All that said, Leonard's isn't the only source of malasadas around here! They aren't necessarily all-encompassing (you're still more likely to find fritters and danishes and such on-display), but some bakeries make their own malasadas. Liliha Bakery in particular has an "apple malasada" which is essentially a malasada stuffed with apple-pie filling (complete with whole simmered apple slices) and it's *so good*

YES DUDE, GOD I FEEL SO VINDICATED KNOWING THAT RAINBOW BEANS ARE 125 AND PATTERNED BEANS ARE 5. EXPERIMENTATION PAYS OFF ONCE AGAIN also thank you SO much again for the intel about USUM photo mode increasing affection, and also FINALLY EXPLAINING THE FLAVORED MALASADAS. those have been haunting me since LAUNCH

Pansage getting the high five feature while Pansear and Panpour git excluded makes sense when you factor in that Cilan was on the main cast of the anime and had it as his main pokemon. Pignite was also the only Unova Starter Ash evolved, and Emolga was owned by Iris, which explains why they got added timeline wise. So basically, blame the BW anime for those three, since this feature was being developed while that was airing.

Pokemon Refresh was my favorite version of any of the games’ “interact with your Pokemon feature”. I like how it actually takes place on the route you are in (rather than some rainbow-colored void like in gen 6), and I prefer it to camp/picnics because you can pet and feed the Pokemon directly

i think its really funny that the clear intent of refresh was for more people to use it because i actually used it wayyyyyy less than amie 😭 i liked the minigames and how they let me interact with my pokemon over a long period of time without losing points or having to exit and lose fullness by playing the rest of the game, so refresh limiting that and forcing you to go slow and steady made me quickly just drop it entirely unless i was using it to cure status conditions

randomly hearing Eiffel65 was so jarring. the first video I can remember watching on KZread was actually a Blue AMV focusing on Piplup so it's fun to see someone else associate the song w/ Pokémon

Do you know of the alternate sleep animation for Pokémon you can high five? It might not correlate directly with the list but when a Pokémon has max affection (maybe above 4 hearts or so I forget), it had a chance to be asleep when you open amie/refresh, certain Pokémon have an alternate sleep animation and wake up more slowly.

Only like 30-something minutes in and I'm so happy you didn't call the Pokemon Center nurse 'nurse joy' when talking about the cafe cutscene, it drives me insane when Poketubers do that when they're very obviously different characters. It's like calling blue from the games gary

I feel they could have warned us away from ruining the fun with the rainbow beans while not ruining immersion. Just have something like "rainbow beans are powerful, but you can only eat two per pokemon! So make sure to think about when to use them!" Still warns yout eating two of them will be Somehow Bad, doesnt say you cant eat more than two because the wholeass minigame is over at that point, lol

obviously the Ace Trainer took all yhe Old Ambers, revoved them, and started handing them out

THAT OLD MAN FUCKING DIES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

You should definitely do a video on the gummies from the Mystery Dungeon games

I was nodding along for the entire section on Sun and Moon's pokemon amie successor. Sun (not Ultra, because I wanted to re experience the original story) has been my before bed game for the last couple months and I've been getting a kick out of the seamless integration of the system. It really feels like you're caring for your mons after battle and it's surprisingly immersive. BUT, also like you say, the rainbow pokepuff ruins it completely. I gave my favorite member two of them and the difference was insane. At 1 or 2, heck, even 3 hhearts, you'll get the occasional save in battle, plus those small nods like them looking back at you or being nervous, stuff like that. But at 5 hearts? It feels like I'm playing BDSP all over again, because it happens so often. As a gradual thing, it's fine and feels natural, but for how little effort a rainbow thingy takes, it completely breaks the system. Overall, I really like the pelagos. While watching the video, I realized that it's basically a version of what the digimon RPGs (the turnbased ones) have been trying to do for a long while, pretty much since Digimon World DS. They also always have a little idle game (usually called farm) for the digimon you're not using, but the pelago in Pokemon blows all of it away in a heartbeat. The Cybersleuth games were the first ones where Digimon managed to make it impactful enough to not ignore and those were Vita games originally. EDIT: Also major props for the flipped sprites. You're insane. (and Gamefreak is too)

ALWAYS a good day when Linneus uploads more exhaustive Pokemon content New mic sounds great btw!!

I;m thinking about thos Beans

"Imagine if you had to complete the side game to progress in the main game" Donkey Kong 64 requiring you beat the original Donkey Kong arcade game to gain one of the collectables:

If you want Charm or Baby Doll Eyes on either Espeon or Umbreon(the two you would need to worry about here) you just need to grind out affection AFTER evolving them.

Or you breed and hatch an Eevee with the two Fairy moves as egg moves, so as Umbreon or Espeon it will be able to remember them. Because every move learned by the base stage can be passed down as an egg move if it's known by both parents (and only if the parents are of the same species, so two Eevee or two Sylveon with Charm, not one Espeon with Charm and one Umbreon with Charm).

@@croma3375…. Did they change how the move reminder works in newer generations, or is my memory just bad? I could have sworn that egg moves can’t be relearned through the move reminder.

@@pokeperson1000 Egg Moves are stored in the Pokémon data since generation VI, so this makes them relearnable for Pokémon hatched on 3DS & Switch games. As the Fairy Type and Sylveon have been introduced in the same generation I didn't mention that detail.

Making the new sprites is so dedicated, I love that

Good stuff as always. Things inevitably slip through the cracks, but I appreciate how thorough you are with these videos. Keep it up!

You're truly insane for making all the mirrored sprites and I love your commitment to it. This got me to sub, I cant wait to check out the rest of your vids!

I CAME HERE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AND LISTEN TO RANDOM POKÉMON NONSENSE AND THEN ALMOST 3 MINUTES INTO THE VIDEO YOU HIT ME WITH THAT OLD MAN’S LETTER. ;-;

This was absolutely worth the wait! I'm loving the jump in production quality, and that your sense of humor is still shining through in your editing style! This video went above and beyond in terms of nitty gritty detail, and I'll definitely be watching through for second and third viewings. Can't wait for your Poke Athelon video!

Sorry I’m 3 days late to watching this I was at a hibachi restaurant for my birthday.

The old man thing makes me cry

These vids are incredible ! I have so much respect for the time and effort you put into these !

The editing on this video is such high quality, I am obsessed

I cannot wait for the huge project, I already know what it's going to be about and I'm hyped. It's insane that you are going to cover something so complicated, keep up the amazing work.

3:00 No way, man... XY is a gutpunch. Oh my God...

I did in fact feed as many Pokemon in Sun/Moon's Refresh as I could hack into the game on an emulator in order to see all the animations. (When I want to figure out my favorite Pokemon, I'm gonna look at everything available.) I don't remember much of the details but I think I wrote down somewhere which animations would make cute gifs.

The pokemon pelago distribution reeks of pokepelago being intended at some point to be available from the beginning, similar to the subscreen menus (training et al) of Gen6 I would imagine.

The strange lack of depth in Pokémon curry and sandwiches is next I’m predicting

Ooooo pokeathalon time?! Bring it on! I was obsessed with that side game in SS as a kid. Subbed, looking forward to the next one!

This is such an interesting watch, especially as someone who is/was a big fan of pokemon amie and refresh!! A lot of these things I knew but there's also some that I had no idea! Thanks for sharing this!

i had to subscribe out of respect for the the amount of research and the entire sprite update for pokepelago

I didn't comment on the previous video but I knew what was coming immediately. I'd recognize those three little dings and that stylus icon anywhere. Super excited for the next video, I can't imagine how much detail there is to talk about with the Pokeathalon systems.

wow, Im so glad I found this series. Its been great watching it from the beginning

Love the production quality upgrade :D
