Now that BDSP is Finally out ive been streaming it every single day over on twitch! - www.twitch.tv/blueboyphin We have no sponsors on the video so come say hi on stream instead if you wanna support the content!!
I don’t see anyone else replying with this so I figured I would the star animation in gen 5 is obtained by filming a pokestar studios movie with that Pokémon and getting the unique endings, you have to first finish the movie on a good ending with a rental Pokémon then do the movie again with your Pokémon and get a unique ending (there’s guides online how to do that) and then your Pokémon will have the star
The shine from pokestar studios is achieved if you get a surprising ending in one of the movies, typically by koing an opponent before it's scripted to happen, there was also a special contest sparkle in oras for beating all master contests with one poke
Is the red yellow blue "glitch" really a glitch if it was added intentionally by one of the developers when they found out mew would never be in the game? Wouldn't that make it a authentic part of the game?
Rare fact I've never seen anyone address. During a playthrough of Pokemon Pearl a few years ago, I decided to evolve my Chimchar solely through battling the Pokemon of Route 201 before speaking to the Professor for the first time in his lab. Surprisingly, the developers were prepared to acknowledge this grind-heavy achievement. Professor Rowan has a line unique to this circumstance in which he shows surprise that your pokemon has already evolved, rather than simply observing that it seems happy.
Trivia: this line will appear if your only pokemon (the starter) has changed. I used a code in my diamond version to make my starter being a darkrai, and the professor congrated me ^^
@@galledark I guess it was just easier for the developers to check for Chimchar, Piplup, or Turtwig as a false state for the alternate dialogue rather than check for Monferno, Prinplup, Grotle, Infernape, Empoleon, or Torterra as a true state.
I got a mew from Pokemon Ranch back in the day, turns out you could transfer eggs to the ranch and it would count so my ranch was just full of immobile eggs everywhere
I wish more trainers in the games would have shiny Pokemon sometimes, like the collectors or ace trainers. It would be a nice touch to just see a shiny sometimes and it not just be limited to you.
@@MonkStarling there was no npc with a shiny in emerald. There was only 3 NPCs with a shiny , a Meowth, Espeon , and Seaking, ONLY found in fire red and leaf green.
I got the Mew from Hayley many years ago. I loved Pokémon Ranch, and took hundreds of ingame pictures of my Pokémon playing together. With Pokémon Ranch, I attempted my first ever living dex project, and even though I didn't complete it, I did get the Mew. I later exported my entire collection from Ranch up through the generations, and I still have a big chunk of it in Home. I no longer have my original Pearl file that I used as a landing pad for Ranch, but I still have Hayley's Mew.
Stupid and unuseful fact : I was on pokemon Emerald on the route up Mauville, where you find the reporters couple near the desert. During the double battle i had my Kirlia slower than my Combusken, so, the yellow chicken destroyed their Magnemite that caused my Kirlia leveling up to LV.26, and learning psychic. During the turn, before Kirlia's attack, I selected confusion, which i deleted to replace with psychic. Finally Kirlia used for the very last time confusion, even if it doesn't know it anymore
Mew is available in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl if you have a Lets Go Pikachu/Eevee save on the device. You can get it from an elderly couple in the flowers just before you get your first jar of honey in the flower fields
@@Whyohwhyugh Luckily it seems gamefreak is coming around on letting mythical pokemon be found without time based events, considering the DLC for sword and shield had Keldeo and ORAS had Deoxys
I noticed that they dropped the “gotta catch ‘em all” tag line in gen 3 when it was decidedly impossible to even remotely catch ‘em all. I’ve always thought that was weird
That was actually just in the west. In Japan the catchphrase is "getto da ze!!" Wich just means i got one. The goal was never to catch them all. That is why it's really not that important in the games.
As Benjamin said, that phrase was never the right one. So the US branch of Pokémon probably realized that the incorrectly localized phrase was not worth putting in the box anymore since it could backfire making people complain that they can't actually ''catch them all''
The star animation in BW2 is attained by getting a "strange" ending in one of the movies. Each movie has a specific set of actions you can take to get the strange ending which will grant your pokemon with the star animation as well as make more at the box office than the good ending. Edit: I should mention that there's a VERY easy way to get the star animation on any pokemon you like. All you have to do is choose the first Invaders film and knock out the Roggenrola, and poof, your pokemon's a star!
I'm also pleased with the facts here, when we got to Venonat and Mew, I was expecting the "originally going to evolve into Butterfree" and "Ditto was a failed clone" stuff.
@@theScarletSprig So I have a confession in retrospect, my understanding is that this is actually a theory and nothing is confirmed. BUT there is a surprising amount of evidence to support it. When looking at Venonat, its body is purple, it has large red compound eyes, mandibles, feet, small claw-like hands, and antennae that end in rounded tips. Butterfree is a similar shade of purple and has large red compound eyes, has antennae that end in rounded tips, and possesses feet, claw-like hands, and mandibles that resemble Venonat's. On the Caterpie/Venomoth side, admittedly there's less to compare. Eyes with large pupils, a protrusion on the forehead, and a segmented abdomen. The theory usually ends there, but I did find another comparison. Caterpie resembles the larva/caterpillar stage of the swallowtail butterfly (notably the Spicebush variety), and Metapod even resembles its chrysalis stage. While in terms of coloration it's vastly different, Venomoth's wing shape resembles it much more closely, even ending in distinct tips like the wings that give swallowtail butterflies their name.
As of Gen IX, there's another Pokémon that evolves even if it's holding an Everstone: Tandemaus. It's the only Pokémon that skips its evolution animation if it's not in-battle at the time of evolution, which is presumably why it happens
I love how these games say "Gotta catch'em all!" when it is in fact impossible to catch them all unless you have a spare $120 or a friend, neither of which most people have
In Red/Blue, it's actually possible to catch them all. Here is a tool-assisted speedrun that catches them all. ruclips.net/video/yrspyLH0IoU/видео.html
An "easier way" to get mew is by having a phone that can run pokemon go, then complete the "A Mythical Discovery" special research, then you will get a mew. The special research "A Mythical Discovery" is given to every single pokemon go, player, when they start their journey. Then when you get the Mew you can transfer it to Pokemon Home and then into sword and shield or even let's go Pikachu and Eevee. Great video as well, not a hater.
Everything but mythicals can be transferred from Pokemon go and the newer Pokemon generations. I found this out the hard way. If it was allowed before they've definitely patched it out. I'm pretty sure though if you paid for the Pokeball plus though that's acceptable. But I'm not paying $50 for a Pokeball Plus
The mew one is false, you can get Mew in RBY totally legit by going into bill secret garden with all 3 starters fully evolved and playing the pokeflute 151 times. Trust me, my friends cousin told me, and his Grandpa works for Apple
Oddly this and most of the other fake Mew methods from back in the day are no more unbelievable than the actual glitch. If you took knowledge of the real glitch back to the gen 1-2 days, you'd probably get laughed out of the room. Until you demonstrated it at least.
Kadabra’s forced evolution coincides with them phasing Kadabra out of the TCG due to the prior legal conflict with Uri Geller (known for his “bending spoons” act). He’s since given permission to Pokémon to keep using it, even celebrating the franchise.
@@michaelbell1289 yeah, agreed, it wasnt just the spoon bending that was the issue, as kadabras Japanese name is based on his name directly. That's why he's been getting phased out and why they want to give him the venonat treatment but still want to keep alakazam since its a very popular pokemon. I think Uri letting up and regretting his actions against the franchise was more so an attempt to get into the eyes of the public again to promote a new documentary or show that he had coming out but I'm willing to at least give it the benifit of the doubt
This is actually the current way to get legal mew+ the first time shiny mew has been legally able to be in MSG since 2005 i believe (2002 outside of Japan/Taiwan)
I believe this is the only way you could get it legitimately WITHOUT paying any money. My Pokemon Ranch was a paid title. So it technically is like buying a pokeball plus controller, just cheaper.
The only way to obtain Mew in let's go Pikachu and Eevee is to buy Pokeball plus there is no other way however you can transfer Mew to sword and shield
@@Dr.Ugdealer pokemon Go has Home transfer options, and has had special research for a mew encounter as well as a separate shiny mew. But its possible and very much a legal mew without the pokeball plus and lets go in msg (corrected, no pogo->lets go. Home only transfer)
I know a _lot_ of Pokemon facts. And I only knew just under half of these. It's so awesome to actually learn facts I didn't know, and not the same boring cliche ones people always repeat.
Some obscure ones I have tried. The odd spots in generation 5 which can be surfed on or walked through. There is also an always shiny Articuno. I could only get that one to work once. I believe the odds of it appearing on those specific two patches of grass to be pretty low. This strat I discovered in Black 1 for speed-running then forgot unfortunately. I heard Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos are all obtainable in generation 5 through weird methods.
@@lanceknightmare Yeah, I've heard about that, but I haven't really learned the details of that. Really interesting things, lol. I love how many weird, obscure facts there are, just in gen 5 alone
I remember running extra fast in a cross country tournament and my grandfather speeding on the interstate to get me to toys r us before they closed so that I could get the promo mew. Guy was so nice he gave me multiples because my whole family was there to take me. Was a great day!
I love the fact that this video dropped just before the release of BDSP, where you can get Mew (& Jirachi) just by talking to a NPC, if you have a save file from Sw&Sh-> Jirachi & LGE&LGP->Mew.
An additional note on getting mew from the pokemon ranch, the ranch doesn't start out with the ability to hold 1000 Pokemon. You have to transfer them a little each day as the ranch grows. I can't remember how long it actually takes but it's at least a couple of real world weeks.
Venonat and Venomoth are now in the Paldean Dex in Scarlet and Violet. Can’t believe it took this long for them to be able to be caught natively outside of Kanto and Johto.
My first thought when you asked how to get a Mew was My Pokémon Ranch. I actually used to use My Pokémon Ranch for cloning Pokémon - deposit them in the ranch, copy the save data, remove from the ranch, then back up the save data. Using that you could double the number of clones each time, which made it fairly quick to get to Mew!
As of a couple of days ago, now, you can get a Mew in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl by having a save file for Pokemon Let's Go! Time truly does heal all wounds.
All i did for mew was trade palkia. When the old trade system was still used. Id sit there for hours looking for trades that I can do. Got darkrai through that as well. Now the trade system isn’t as good so you have to deal with a random trade or trade with another player,
@@mBUSHattack yeah, it would be nice if they weren't handed to you as early, but it's nice that they're available again without some super convoluted way that involves at least two other games for another console.
Either way, playing S&S or Let’s Go Pikachu then not realizing until you get BDSP that Mew appears is pretty neat. Certainly a pleasant surprise for my son.
Fun fact: in black and white at the cold storage there is a 5% chance of getting a stoutland in the rustling grass, and the special thing about it is its lvl 23,herder evolves to stoutland at lvl 32
Black n white roms are all messed up with that stuff. I caught a mid 20s Ferroseed that somehow knew Flash Cannon even though in gen 5, Ferroseed doesnt learn that move until level 51 and Ferrothorn until level 62. But apparently in later gens, Ferroseed/thorn learns it at level 20 (insanely early). It seems for the rom im using, someone modified the game so certain pokemon arent using their gen 5 stats but instead using gen 6 to 9 stats.
I actually knew the mew one, as that’s how I got my own mew! Gosh I remember I had wanted a mew so badly, I sat for hours just catching dozens upon dozens of Starly and Bidoof to get all the Pokémon needed for it. I still have that mew on my newest games and I cherish it so much!
@@ilikevideos4868 not after BDSP, you also get Jirachi from the same location, if you have save data from SWSH :) Jirachi: Players who have Pokemon Sword or Shield save data on their system will be able to get Jirachi in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Speak to the gentleman standing in the flower field near the southern entrance of Floaroma Town and he'll gift you the mythical Pokemon. mew: Players who have save data for Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu or Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee on their Switch will instead be able to get Mew in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. To collect the Pokemon, you'll need to speak to the madame in the same flower field near the southern entrance of Floaroma Town.
I shiny hunted Regieleki in Shield. I ended up going double over odds (~8,000 encounters). I was under the impression that the Shiny Charm would affect it so I temporarily quit the hunt to get it, came back, and then got the shiny at only 50 encounters. I was actually bummed about it then because it didn't feel satisfying. Several months later, I was informed that the Shiny Charm doesn't affect the Regis and that the 50 encounter thing was just a crazy coincidence. Never have I been so happy to hear about the Shiny Charm not affecting something. That also explained the overodds Regigigas hunt I did afterwards. My shiny luck in Shield is hot garbage lol.
The rates are broken in Sword and Shield anyway. You're supposed to get double shiny odds at 200, 300, 400, and maxes out at 500. But it doesn't. Because they f*cked up. And haven't fixed it. Or finished the pokedex. God I hate the downfall of game freak.
Oh man… I remember spending the whole night with my two best friends catching and trading 999 low level pidgey-like Pokémon to my friend‘s Pokémon ranch, only for us to /finally/ be rewarded with that sweet, sweet Mew. It was sooo tedious but also, we had such a good time together with all the ridiculous stuff happening on Pokémon ranch, it‘s one of my most precious memories
interestingly, the part that probably took the most time was healing/buying pokeballs. based on encounter times, it would take around 2 to 4 hours to pull off if you had that many pokeballs/attacks, but factor in healing and purchases and it might become an extra hour or two depending upon how you do it (like only false swipe, etc)
I'd like to provide an update on the Mew thing. If you have a Let's Go! Eevee and a Sword or Shield save file on your switch, you can get both Jirachi and Mew by talking to the elderly couple at the bottom left of the flower field in BD/SP. The Lady gives Mew, the Gentleman gives Jirachi
In fact, the legendary was originally supposed to be a similar category such as grassland, cave or forest Pokémon. But then the idea was scrapped and today, when we talk about the legendary Pokémon, we mean something completely different (today, the legendary means incredibly rare and often very powerful Pokémon like Lugia or Entei which wasn't the original purpose of that category). So according to the original Pokedex book, published in 1996, the Arcanine was categorized as legendary as were Dratini and Dragonite too. This book was published only in Japan but was never localized in the West. You should watch the Did You Know Gaming's video trilogy of the Lost Pokedex.
6:10 if I remember correctly you have to have your Pokémon star in a “Cult Classic” which means during filming you have to meet certain secret conditions. If done correctly the movie will get a different ending
Wait really?! I played pokestar studios a lot and thought it was done once I got a good rating in ever movie with rentals it feels like whenever I feel like I fully completed that game there’s still more content
@@MrEnte3000 That Tutor teaches it to any Mew in gen 3. My point is the only Mew that has ever had the move by default is her gift Mew. However you are right that the one XD Tutor gives it to any Mew. So you can move up a Mew from gen 3 and have the move on it. I will give you that. But as far as I know no Mew other than her gift has ever been given the move by default. Making it a cool rare event. If we account for Tutors then Mew gets a few cool moves between the gen 3 games like Soft-Boiled.
For the Mew fact, would you count Pokémon Go in all of those games, because you can legitimately get Mew in the Mythical Discovery Special Research (which everyone gets when the start the game) and you can transfer that Mew to Pokémon Home.
@@jedidiahrains2233 welp, you're wrong as the way to get mew (and I am pretty sure jirachi too) is by, and I quote "You need to have play records on your Nintendo Switch system for either Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! in order to unlock Mew". Although this is from google without hours of research being poured into it so I maybe wrong
@@jedidiahrains2233in the theoretical situation he stated that you had every mainline Pokemon game so this would be a perfect way of getting mew (besides the fact that it’s really stupid)
They should have Mew available as a hidden Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet, sort of like with the mythicals in Arceus but you don’t have to have any other games. Also, I like to think that using the Pomeg berry glitch in gen 3 to go to Faraway Island to obtain Mew is semi legitimate, because it makes sense that to get the rarest Pokémon of them all requires tampering with reality itself.
My dad’s a big comic nerd, so shiny Pokémon were actually a pretty easy concept to explain to him. I just compared it to having a random chance to find an especially rare variant cover.
6:15 - The Star animation came from getting a "Strange Ending (Cult Ending)" in at least one film using one of your own personal Pokemon as opposed to the rental ones. (Note: Pokemon that belonged to N could not get this animation, as their own unique animation canceled it out.) Since you'd get more cash both from using your own Pokemon _and_ from getting Strange Endings anyway, AND you'd get more fans in the lobby afterward than a True Ending, it was a relatively easy way to grind for both cash _and_ good items like five-packs of Moomoo Milk and Old Gateaus.
Venonat has more than likely made it into the Gen 9 Regional Dex since this video has been up. It’s in the Scarlet And Violet trailer! We did it! [confetti]
Another obscure fact about Venomoth: For some reason, in RS, there’s two shades of yellow in its palette that go unused. Venomoth’s Gen 1 official art had yellow spots, but still. Speaking of unseen details, in Poképark Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure, Deoxys’ model has two extra arms WITH HANDS on its back. They even move, but the fingers don’t move. In that same game, Deoxys has some unused blinking eye states. He actually has the code to blink, he just never uses it. (Source: TCRF.)
This is the first obscure facts video over ever seen where it actually seems like the author took the time to get feedback from test audiences about facts they did and didn’t know.
One of the only shiny mons I’ve ever caught was a shiny Giratina in Pokémon platinum. I transferred all my Pearl Pokémon over just so I could run through the game and get to the fancy stuff. Had a master ball in hand so I didn’t bother saving before the battle and boom that floaty origin form ghost boy had blue tips. I saved the game probably 5 times after to make sure lmao
Did I know the Kadabra Everstone fact? I discovered it! To my knowledge at the very least, I was the first person to bring this to light, way back when in the days of Gen 4, up to and including arguing with people on Bulbapedia who insisted it had to be a glitch even as it persisted throughout the generations. I found this out when moving Pokémon from Pearl to Platinum, and a Kadabra I was intending on keeping a Kadabra evolved in spite of the Everstone I had given it. The reason is almost certainly Uri Geller-related- yes, his beef was with the TCG, but the fact that this only affected Kadabra specifically, ad is clearly not an unintended glitch... it can't be coincidence. Now that he's actually apologized and ended all of that, though, it'll be interesting to see whether this persists in BDSP...
@@dstinnettmusic Kadabra was never allowed in the TCG after the first generation because Uri Geller sued them for using his likeness. There's no proof this "glitch" is linked to Geller but it's an interesting theory.
In BDSP, they gift you a Mew in Floaroma Town. You need a save file from one of the Let Go games so technically no accessories required! Just gotta speak to the old couple
To get the pokestar animation, you have to complete a whole script perfectly. Edit: disregard above. to get the animation, deviate from the script but still get the desired ending.
Not true. The opposite in fact. You have to go off script to get the animation. Specifically, after filming a movie you can film it again using your own Pokemon. For the first movie, "Brycen-Man" the script tells you to knock out a Pokemon every turn. Using your own Pokemon, If you use a status move, the director will be like "What are you doing?" and end the film. Release it and the film will have the "Strange Ending" and the Pokemon you chose to star in it will now have the unique star animation
@@gamesmasher1489 I just read up on it, and you’re kind of right. It says that you have to deviate from script, but still get the desired ending. Thanks for the correction.
@@gamesmasher1489 Can you enlighten me? I want to get this for my Ribbon Master Rayquaza from Emerald - which game is it and is there a good guide on how to do it?
@@m3x_repel Black 2 / White 2. Use your own Pokemon to make a movie and get the strange ending. Easiest being the first movie "Brycen Man" Where you just have to use an attack that does no damage. The animation is only for B2/W2 and goes away if transferred to gen 6
I got a Mew in Heart Gold as my “starter”. I bought a Japanese version of the game before the English came out, and at the time there was an event that gave you a level 5 Mew. I got this Mew at the start of my game, so it felt like my “starter” 😆😆
@@darmacannon It is hacked, no mew has ever been given away without a cherish ball (special event balls), cherish balls prevent wonder trading and gts, there unfortunately have been many ways to hack pokemon in, for instance i own a hacked shiny volcanon on pokemon x and several other hacked legendaries that I unfortunately got through wonder trade (like the shiny mascot legendaries from the game despite them being shiny locked and no event at the time had existed to drop them, even if one did, no cherish ball means not from event)
About getting a Mew, I don't know if having to play another game counts as an accessory but you can now get a Mew in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl if you have save data of the Let's Go games on your switch. So it's fairly accessible now.
I don't think playing another game counts as an accessory or pokemon ranch in the video would be an accessory too. And he did say assuming if you had all the pokemon games including let's go eevee
@@chrisshimizu308 The Ramamas Park or whatever it's called sells items that look like GBA Paks, if anything the save file thing is probably a throwback to Pokemon Ranger's Manaphy egg.
Munchlax was in Pokemon mystery dungeon red rescue team as an event. Unobtainable, but you saw and talked to him. And there was a Lucario rank for your team rank. It's supposed to be because Lucario was a legendary adventurer.
Always went with the assumption that Kadabra always evolved regardless of Everstone or not due to the whole Uri Gellar lawsuit. Wanted them to evolve as quick as possible.
@@nickrogers3624 Uri Gellar was an famous "psychic" who could bend things with the sheer power of his mind, most seen: spoons, he sued Nintendo for the Abra-line doing the same thing Nintendo won, obviously, since bending spoons with the power of your mind cant be copyrighted and Uri Gellar is not the first one who has done it, so he had no base

@@chameleonttt I never got that theory Moth Larvae is way Fuzzier than Butterfly Larvae so Caterpie fits Butterfree way more than Caterpie fits Venomoth
@@rescuerex7031 I give you that, but you can't really ignore the similarities in their appearances, can you? Butterfree and Venonat have the same freaking eyes while Caterpie (and Metapod) have the same as Venomoth. I don't like crazy conspiration theories, but I'm pretty sure they f-ed it up, in the world where all Cubones wear their mother's skull, fuzziness doesn't convince me. Not saying you can't be right, but my scepticism about that theory lasted only until I saw video dedicated to all the similarities which would have to be accidental.
@@chameleonttt you can kinda ignore the similarities they're Larval Stages, Venomoth has the same eyes as Paras, Beedrill has the same eyes as Butterfree and Venonat, Catterpie's eyes look nothing like Venomoth they're yellow and black with huge pupils, Ledyba has the same eyes as Venomoth, Omonyte has the Venomoth eyes it's just how Sugumori does Compound eyes
Alright, looks like my really obscure knowledge can come into play here. As it turns out, in relation to the venonat not appearing in any regional pokedex past Johto, it technically does make one other appearance in a regional pokedex, albeit in a side game. In pokemon XD, (and possibly colluseum, not sure) venonat can in fact be found in the pokedex for the orre region.
Kadabra *was* the only pokemon to evolve despite holding an everstone, but now tandemaus in gen 9 will also evolve, presumably because of it's unique evolution
I always felt like the way to get mew in gen1 felt very legitimate even though i suppose its a glitch i guess. I think it cpatures sorta what finding mew should be like.
@@MidoriOfTheShuinsen Speak to the old lady next to an old gentleman in southwest of Floarama town. The old gentleman gives jirachi if you have the save file for Sword Shield
The speedrun category for the instant text glitch wasn’t just because it was debatable if it was a glitch or not. Speedrunners at the time didn’t really enjoy the glitch’s existence because it required resetting a lot more and much fewer runs actually finished the game. Since you also couldn’t open the start menu and do a lot of things.
In BDSP there is 2 npc that give you both mew (if you have a let's go save file) and jirachi (if you have a sword/shield save file) and they are available really early on in the game
Ngl I went into this before it even started "I'ma count how many I actually know" and out of all of them the only ones I actually knew was the brick piece and the speedrun text speed thing. Props some truly obscure facts

I legitimately got Mew on original Red and Blue by going to a Pokémon event at my local mall, they'd trade you a Mew for going to the event. This was back in 1998 or so.
That's funny, I had one in original red. Some kid at a school camp caught one. I watched him catch it. I still can't believe it. He duplicated trade with everyone there. I already had all 150 so eh. The neighbor stole my game, his dad found out and went and got me a new game immediately, I tried explaining about not having my save and all my guys I caught. He didn't understand.
Whenever anyone goes on about the rarity of Mew, I always wish there’d not been the coding issue from gens 1&2 to 3, so I could have taken my official event Mew from Blue all the way to present day. Especially now the battery is dead in that Blue cart and my OT UK Mew from 2000 is gone forever 😭
@@stevegordie3799 basically, there was a small cell battery in the cartridge that acts as a backup to keep the memory alive and the save file intact if you didn’t power the cartridge for a while and to keep track of time in some games, it was very common (GBA games like Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald even had it, although their battery was for the clock and not the save file, as flash memory had become more useful by then). So if you have an old game like Pokémon Red or Blue that hasn’t been used in a very long time and you haven’t changed the battery quickly enough, that save file is gone forever.
The Kadabra thing is forced to evolve due to an old lawsuit over Kadabra. That's also why Kadabra isn't printed in very many tcg if any since early sets.
I'VE HAD MY POKEMON RANCH SINCE 2008 AND I NEVER KNEW THAT. Slight problem though--if you were to bring the maximum amount of Pokemon then Hailey expands the ranch to the full area, which means no small area outside the ranch for me to try and trap all of the Miis and cause havoc with the bursts which was my fav part about that game
I’ve actually seen the Kadabra thing happen firsthand. It was during Marriland’s Wedlocke. He wanted to use the everstone to move his Kadabra to another game so he could capture the evolution on screen for his main game. This explains why that didn’t work
Well, you are in luck. Apparently there is an old lady that will give you a mew if you have a Let's Go save on your switch. So there's that. I missed most of the middle generations (and still haven't been able to get ahold of the gen 5 games) but just yesterday I got my final non legendary/mythical Pokemon into Home. Not sure where to start with most of them though, I'm sure a lot of them are difficult to get at the moment.
I like the poka-star Studio and the badges you’ll get for doing stuff in black2/white2. (Stuff for beating the champion using only “enter type here” Pokémon or beating the champion with a single Pokémon)
5:40 they changed it because, since Gen 3, you couldn’t chatch them all. Look up what it takes to complete the Pokédex in Gen 3, its nearly impossible and not just because of the mythicals.
@@tigerwarrior1787 I mean, mythicals don't actually count for catching them all ingame and mew always required some time based event that recently got replaced with "own this accesory/game and we will give it to you" Also Celebi wasn't even avaliabile in the og gsc.
As far as I recall for those who don't want to look it up; All pokemon from Fire Red/Leaf Green, R/S/E version exclusives (don't forget our beloved Milotic grind), plus beating Pokemon Colosseum for Ho-Oh and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness for Lugia, AND completing Pokemon XD's Mt. Battle (100 proceedingly harder battles) *all in one go, without leaving* for Cyndaquil with Blast Burn, Chikorita with Frenzy Plant, or Totodile with Hydro Cannon. On top of all this, link cables and multiple saves are needed on XD as I'm not sure you're allowed another starter after Mt. Battle without a new save. All in all, 7 beaten games worth of content (9 if you include the re-runs of Pokemon XD, since it's highly unlikely anyone beats Mt. Battle without doing the main story first) Don't think Celebi or Mew count towards the Emerald pokedex completion, could be wrong though. Edit; feel like I forgot something about Mt. Battle and Ho-Oh? My bad, only played colosseum once. Don't remember if Ho-Oh was post-game.

Edit; If you're genuinely asking if this would change the amount of games/work, I highly doubt it will change very much unless your friend has their entire dex completed themselves. But by that point, it pretty much just requires beating the game for your legendaries then trade for FR/LG legends and johto pokemon, as well as Ho-Oh and Lugia from the GameCube games but the fact still stands *they* still had to go through that amount of effort themself. At the very least you still have to beat 4+ games to do it through trading/breeding
While it's technically a glitch, the Cerulean City Mew Glitch is about the easiest glitch to catch a Pokemon in all the games. Most glitches seem a lot harder, but with Mew it's pretty straightforward.
@@NiickW It’s the only way to obtain Mew in Gen 1. So obviously it was an intended mechanic. So I don’t necessarily consider it a glitch. Regardless, whether you believe it to be a glitch or not, you still can obtain Mew in Gen 1. It’s akin to saying the battle between you and Prof Oak is a “glitch”. Technically yes, but it’s the only way you can get access to that battle. And he has a full lineup of 6 good Pokémon with a programmed AI. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@OJuggernautO The way you encounter mew is by manipulating the games code. Same for the Oak battle. Manipulating game code is not intentional game mechanics. Not saying that mew isn’t obtainable, but as the video stated, we were trying to find a way to obtain mew without the use of glitches.
05:30 Funny that Ruby/Sapphire originally had the "Gotta Catch 'Em All" tagline when it was the first game where your couldn't catch all non-legendary Pokemon.
When you started talking about Munchlax I thought you'd refer to that thing about it being one of the hardest Pokémon to get in the Sinnoh games xP That Zacian animation on Google Lens honestly looks wild 😶
I have one not many know about. In the Japanese Diamond and Pearl you can actually teach Ditto moves. If you use Ditto in a double battle have it transform into a Pokemon then have your Pokemon knock Ditto out once it's revived it will have that Pokemon's moves. You can use it to have egg moves.
Luckily, there’s an NPC in Floaroma Town in BDSP who will give you a Mew if you have save data for either of the Let’s Go games. Also, the NPC next to that one will give you a Jirachi if you have save data from SwSh.
You get the pokestar star effect when using one of your own pokemon and getting an unexpected ending for a movie. Basically you going off script (and still winning, I believe)
You don't know how excited I got when Harmoknight was mentioned. That game was all my childhood ever cherished to the full and I'm really happy that someone talked about it
Yes i know right, this game was so good i still have it on the 3DS and even after all these years, i still have fun playing it. (Plus i reset the game, and i want to beat the last secret level in gold, i don't even know how i managed to do it as a child 😂)
That last fact is actually insane this series is gonna blow up like crazy🔥🔥🔥

You could just catch a Mew in Pokémon GO and transfer it to Home. It's that easy, you don't even have to pay or have a time limit. One per Pokémon GO account, actually, so you could theoretically even make endless Pokémon GO accounts, connect them all to a single Home and transfer all your Mews there. No biggie. PS: It would be nice to number your facts or at least give them a more solid transition from one to another; sometimes I think you're gonna delve deeper into a topic and you've already moved on to the next one and I didn't realize, lol.
I think he’s avoiding numbers to not be another “10 facts you didn’t know person”, but I’m interested to see if he reads your comment and does something about transfers
Yeah haha I thought about this right after he said there was no way... complete the Special Research quest A Mythical Discovery in Pokemon Go and you got a legit mew that everyone can get.
3 года назад+4
@@Clevertank-LL To be fair, the numbers are already in the title, so adding them to the video sounded like the logical next step in my mind, lol.
Well, besides Go, id consider gen1 legit as well. Everyone can obtain it, simply by playing the game the way developers intended to. Granted, with a few detours, but you never have to do anything glitchy
I'm amazed, i clicked on yet another pokemon fact video and actually learned something new. The only thing i knew was the bike glitch. Congrats on your fact hunting man, i been watching these for years lol
N has a special dialogue speed in BW Cheren points it out but N actually does talk faster than other NPCs. Also did you know Bide, Bind, Wrap, and Seismic Toss work on ghost types in gen 1 Bind and Wrap don't do damage but still stop the enemy from moving.
imagine having to go through all that effort to find a Mew only for BDSP to come out around a year after this video where you're just given one for having sava data from Let's Go. a moment of silence for all those who had to use the old method.
I believe You can still catch a Mew in Pokemon Go, cause the special task based events in the game are always available, even after the specific date of the event ends.
I had a glitch when I was younger that I’ve never heard of anyone else running into, in Leaf Green when I evolved my Charmeleon into a Charizard it went from a male to a female. My friend watched it happen and we were both just dumbfounded
Iirc, pokémon evolving basically counted them as seperate creatures from their previous form. Theee's another pokémon from Kanto where this hapoens far more frequently, but it's still funny
This can happen when Azurill (25% chance to be male, 75% chance to be female) evolves into Marill (50/50 odds), but I've never heard of it happening with Charmeleon to Charizard (both 88.14% chance to be male)
@@ImAFatNerd90 Love? Seriously, I don't understand how people can be proud about an achievement gained via cheating... It's like running a Marathon, but actually taking the subway for 80% of the track, just to tell others that you've "finished" a Marathon...
@@Robin93k Dude calm down. I'm not hurting anyone. I've already beaten the games. What's wrong with going back and having a little more fun? I play games on an emulator. I can't trade with anyone. How else am I supposed to complete the Dex without stealing or hacking?
@@ImAFatNerd90 I may have sounded a bit madder as intended... First of all, I have no problems with people cheating in non-competitive single players, which can include isolated Roms for the fun of it, so if that's honestly all you do, I totally don't mind. But cheating in multiplayer, speedrunning or for achievement hunting? I just can't fully fathom, and have a hard time to understand, the only kind of motives I can see, are purely mischeveous intentions, actively intending to hurt others in the process, or giving absolutely zero care for the people they disrupt. "How else am I supposed to complete the Dex without stealing or hacking?" You aren't! Why would you believe you are? It's like asking, "How else am I supposed to ride Thomas the Tank Engine in Skyrim?" It's intentional game design that you're not supposed to complete the Dex in a singular game, just as much as Thomas the Tank engine isn't in vanilla Skyrim.
Now that BDSP is Finally out ive been streaming it every single day over on twitch! - www.twitch.tv/blueboyphin
We have no sponsors on the video so come say hi on stream instead if you wanna support the content!!
I was wondering were this vid fell in realtion to bdsp because I have a jirachi and It's a beast
I don’t see anyone else replying with this so I figured I would the star animation in gen 5 is obtained by filming a pokestar studios movie with that Pokémon and getting the unique endings, you have to first finish the movie on a good ending with a rental Pokémon then do the movie again with your Pokémon and get a unique ending (there’s guides online how to do that) and then your Pokémon will have the star
The shine from pokestar studios is achieved if you get a surprising ending in one of the movies, typically by koing an opponent before it's scripted to happen, there was also a special contest sparkle in oras for beating all master contests with one poke
You can get the mew on brillaint diamond
Is the red yellow blue "glitch" really a glitch if it was added intentionally by one of the developers when they found out mew would never be in the game? Wouldn't that make it a authentic part of the game?
Rare fact I've never seen anyone address. During a playthrough of Pokemon Pearl a few years ago, I decided to evolve my Chimchar solely through battling the Pokemon of Route 201 before speaking to the Professor for the first time in his lab. Surprisingly, the developers were prepared to acknowledge this grind-heavy achievement. Professor Rowan has a line unique to this circumstance in which he shows surprise that your pokemon has already evolved, rather than simply observing that it seems happy.
That is awesome! I love it when devs go out of their way to add tiny little details like that. So cool 😁
Are you me? I did the exact same thing, in the exact same game with the exact same Pokémon haha
Did the same too
Trivia: this line will appear if your only pokemon (the starter) has changed.
I used a code in my diamond version to make my starter being a darkrai, and the professor congrated me ^^
@@galledark I guess it was just easier for the developers to check for Chimchar, Piplup, or Turtwig as a false state for the alternate dialogue rather than check for Monferno, Prinplup, Grotle, Infernape, Empoleon, or Torterra as a true state.
I got a mew from Pokemon Ranch back in the day, turns out you could transfer eggs to the ranch and it would count so my ranch was just full of immobile eggs everywhere
didn’t expect to see you here
This is valuable information. :)
Dude! I love your videos! Been watching you and little Z for a hot minute! Hope you enjoyed the vid! Also totally didn’t know that about the eggs!
i love you so much hopcat you've changed my life
So it does not had to be 999 different pokemon, just the number?
Thats just grinding then.
I wish more trainers in the games would have shiny Pokemon sometimes, like the collectors or ace trainers. It would be a nice touch to just see a shiny sometimes and it not just be limited to you.
Or just make Shiny hunter a trainer class
There was a shiny Espeon in Pokemon emerald's battle tower, but I agree with you
@@MonkStarling there was no npc with a shiny in emerald. There was only 3 NPCs with a shiny , a Meowth, Espeon , and Seaking, ONLY found in fire red and leaf green.
i was recently playing platinum battle tower and one of the trainers had a shiny pokemon i was pretty shocked ngl
@@joonas394
They'd be a subset of the daycare/breeder class and would have several eggs in a pouch. Ideally they'd also be on a bicycle.
I got the Mew from Hayley many years ago. I loved Pokémon Ranch, and took hundreds of ingame pictures of my Pokémon playing together. With Pokémon Ranch, I attempted my first ever living dex project, and even though I didn't complete it, I did get the Mew. I later exported my entire collection from Ranch up through the generations, and I still have a big chunk of it in Home. I no longer have my original Pearl file that I used as a landing pad for Ranch, but I still have Hayley's Mew.
Stupid and unuseful fact : I was on pokemon Emerald on the route up Mauville, where you find the reporters couple near the desert. During the double battle i had my Kirlia slower than my Combusken, so, the yellow chicken destroyed their Magnemite that caused my Kirlia leveling up to LV.26, and learning psychic. During the turn, before Kirlia's attack, I selected confusion, which i deleted to replace with psychic.
Finally Kirlia used for the very last time confusion, even if it doesn't know it anymore
Wow I played pokemon all my life and never had this situation

After playing all gen games 1-8 for 21 years straight, my question is how the hell does Professor Oak know you are trying to ride your bike indoors? 🤔
My theory is some kind of tracking device/camera in the Pokedex he gives you. Basically, he's spying on you.
@@kattriella1331 so he is a perv then

I noticed that they dropped the “gotta catch ‘em all” tag line in gen 3 when it was decidedly impossible to even remotely catch ‘em all.
I’ve always thought that was weird
Yeah, Johto was the end of OG pokemon concept even some original writers and devs quit and the higher ups just silently removed that part
That was actually just in the west. In Japan the catchphrase is "getto da ze!!" Wich just means i got one.
The goal was never to catch them all. That is why it's really not that important in the games.
@@benjaminmadrigalperez9010 why did this make me laugh
I think they removed it because at the time gen 3 released it was impossible to trade to gen 2 or 1, so it was impossible
As Benjamin said, that phrase was never the right one. So the US branch of Pokémon probably realized that the incorrectly localized phrase was not worth putting in the box anymore since it could backfire making people complain that they can't actually ''catch them all''
The star animation in BW2 is attained by getting a "strange" ending in one of the movies. Each movie has a specific set of actions you can take to get the strange ending which will grant your pokemon with the star animation as well as make more at the box office than the good ending.
Edit: I should mention that there's a VERY easy way to get the star animation on any pokemon you like. All you have to do is choose the first Invaders film and knock out the Roggenrola, and poof, your pokemon's a star!

First 2 Facts: how normal people season their chicken
Obscure facts: how this dude seasons his chicken 👀
I'm also pleased with the facts here, when we got to Venonat and Mew, I was expecting the "originally going to evolve into Butterfree" and "Ditto was a failed clone" stuff.
"originally going to evolve into Butterfree" I don't think I know this one, could you tell me??
@@theScarletSprig So I have a confession in retrospect, my understanding is that this is actually a theory and nothing is confirmed. BUT there is a surprising amount of evidence to support it.
When looking at Venonat, its body is purple, it has large red compound eyes, mandibles, feet, small claw-like hands, and antennae that end in rounded tips. Butterfree is a similar shade of purple and has large red compound eyes, has antennae that end in rounded tips, and possesses feet, claw-like hands, and mandibles that resemble Venonat's.
On the Caterpie/Venomoth side, admittedly there's less to compare. Eyes with large pupils, a protrusion on the forehead, and a segmented abdomen.
The theory usually ends there, but I did find another comparison. Caterpie resembles the larva/caterpillar stage of the swallowtail butterfly (notably the Spicebush variety), and Metapod even resembles its chrysalis stage. While in terms of coloration it's vastly different, Venomoth's wing shape resembles it much more closely, even ending in distinct tips like the wings that give swallowtail butterflies their name.
@@bijoukaiba And that Woingenau (I dont know how it is called on English) into Girafarig.......
As of Gen IX, there's another Pokémon that evolves even if it's holding an Everstone: Tandemaus. It's the only Pokémon that skips its evolution animation if it's not in-battle at the time of evolution, which is presumably why it happens
It's evolution is essentially adding friends/family members, so it kinda makes sense.
I love how these games say "Gotta catch'em all!" when it is in fact impossible to catch them all unless you have a spare $120 or a friend, neither of which most people have
In Red/Blue, it's actually possible to catch them all. Here is a tool-assisted speedrun that catches them all. ruclips.net/video/yrspyLH0IoU/видео.html
GTS hard carried my quest to completing the national dex in gen 6.
(Not counting mythicals bc that would just be ridiculous)
I caught them all in gen 1. All you get is a shitty certificate that you have to print with a gameboy printer (I didn’t have one :’( )
That's because it's a marketing scheme to get you to buy more.
@@trunks1943 Actually, it is a way to show to your friends that you indeed caught them all.
An "easier way" to get mew is by having a phone that can run pokemon go, then complete the "A Mythical Discovery" special research, then you will get a mew. The special research "A Mythical Discovery" is given to every single pokemon go, player, when they start their journey. Then when you get the Mew you can transfer it to Pokemon Home and then into sword and shield or even let's go Pikachu and Eevee. Great video as well, not a hater.
I was suprised he didnt mention it
Maybe he thought no because its kinda like event that lasts forever?
@@imienazwisko6150 I think you mean until they shut down the Pokemon Go servers in about 5 or 6 years probably.
An even easier way is play Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl on a Switch with Let’s Go save data and getting a Mew from an NPC in Floaroma Town.
@@exedo9882 well yeah now that the game is out that is an even easier way of getting mew
Everything but mythicals can be transferred from Pokemon go and the newer Pokemon generations. I found this out the hard way.
If it was allowed before they've definitely patched it out. I'm pretty sure though if you paid for the Pokeball plus though that's acceptable. But I'm not paying $50 for a Pokeball Plus
The mew one is false, you can get Mew in RBY totally legit by going into bill secret garden with all 3 starters fully evolved and playing the pokeflute 151 times. Trust me, my friends cousin told me, and his Grandpa works for Apple
The "RBY" does it stand for red blue and yellow or ruby ?
@@mishmash6991

Surely.
Oddly this and most of the other fake Mew methods from back in the day are no more unbelievable than the actual glitch. If you took knowledge of the real glitch back to the gen 1-2 days, you'd probably get laughed out of the room. Until you demonstrated it at least.
You forgot you have to go in there with missingno in your party

Kadabra’s forced evolution coincides with them phasing Kadabra out of the TCG due to the prior legal conflict with Uri Geller (known for his “bending spoons” act). He’s since given permission to Pokémon to keep using it, even celebrating the franchise.
Not really as Gellars complaint dates back to well before gen 3, let alone gen 4 when it started evolving whilst holding an everstone
@@bluedarkyugi Well, gen 4 was when online functionality was implemented into the games, so that probably has something to do with it.
@@michaelbell1289 I doubt it since other pokemon haven't been effected by it at all.
@@FireFox2590 That's because they weren't the target of legal dispute like Kadabra was.
@@michaelbell1289 yeah, agreed, it wasnt just the spoon bending that was the issue, as kadabras Japanese name is based on his name directly.
That's why he's been getting phased out and why they want to give him the venonat treatment but still want to keep alakazam since its a very popular pokemon.
I think Uri letting up and regretting his actions against the franchise was more so an attempt to get into the eyes of the public again to promote a new documentary or show that he had coming out but I'm willing to at least give it the benifit of the doubt
I think the easiest way to get a Mew would be to finish the quests for it in Pokemon Go and then transfer it over. That's what I did
Someone didn’t grow up with action replay lolol
This is actually the current way to get legal mew+ the first time shiny mew has been legally able to be in MSG since 2005 i believe (2002 outside of Japan/Taiwan)
I believe this is the only way you could get it legitimately WITHOUT paying any money. My Pokemon Ranch was a paid title. So it technically is like buying a pokeball plus controller, just cheaper.
The only way to obtain Mew in let's go Pikachu and Eevee is to buy Pokeball plus there is no other way however you can transfer Mew to sword and shield
@@Dr.Ugdealer pokemon Go has Home transfer options, and has had special research for a mew encounter as well as a separate shiny mew. But its possible and very much a legal mew without the pokeball plus and lets go in msg (corrected, no pogo->lets go. Home only transfer)
I know a _lot_ of Pokemon facts. And I only knew just under half of these. It's so awesome to actually learn facts I didn't know, and not the same boring cliche ones people always repeat.
Some obscure ones I have tried. The odd spots in generation 5 which can be surfed on or walked through. There is also an always shiny Articuno. I could only get that one to work once.

An additional note on getting mew from the pokemon ranch, the ranch doesn't start out with the ability to hold 1000 Pokemon. You have to transfer them a little each day as the ranch grows. I can't remember how long it actually takes but it's at least a couple of real world weeks.

Venonat and Venomoth are now in the Paldean Dex in Scarlet and Violet. Can’t believe it took this long for them to be able to be caught natively outside of Kanto and Johto.
My first thought when you asked how to get a Mew was My Pokémon Ranch. I actually used to use My Pokémon Ranch for cloning Pokémon - deposit them in the ranch, copy the save data, remove from the ranch, then back up the save data. Using that you could double the number of clones each time, which made it fairly quick to get to Mew!
Ooh, that's an interesting exploit that the creators overlooked. I wonder if that would work for things the the GameCube Pokémon storage title too.
@@toast99bubbles it does but you can't just copy the box save data normally, the gamecube doesn't let you. You have to use some kind of hacking device
@@elmerandrewcrowley2822 I guess that's a good way to stop what the OP did with My Pokémon Ranch.
As of a couple of days ago, now, you can get a Mew in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl by having a save file for Pokemon Let's Go! Time truly does heal all wounds.
Oh those are the remakes… stick irks me that they aren’t making them in trios. Where’s Emerald’s remake? Where is Platinum’s remake?
Finally got my Mew after all these years. I remember all those school yard tricks you'd hear about in the 90s.
Or for 2nd gen fans, you can get one in Pokemon Crystal Clear
Glad I didn’t buy the controller
All i did for mew was trade palkia. When the old trade system was still used. Id sit there for hours looking for trades that I can do. Got darkrai through that as well. Now the trade system isn’t as good so you have to deal with a random trade or trade with another player,
Well the "getting a Mew" thing just got way easier, you can get one in BDSP if you have save data from Let's Go on the same switch.
And jirachi if you have sword/Sheild data :00

I can't believe they just give it to you in the 3rd or 4th town. I kinda wish you at least had to beat the game before you got them.
@@mBUSHattack yeah, it would be nice if they weren't handed to you as early, but it's nice that they're available again without some super convoluted way that involves at least two other games for another console.
Either way, playing S&S or Let’s Go Pikachu then not realizing until you get BDSP that Mew appears is pretty neat.
Certainly a pleasant surprise for my son.
Fun fact: in black and white at the cold storage there is a 5% chance of getting a stoutland in the rustling grass, and the special thing about it is its lvl 23,herder evolves to stoutland at lvl 32
I mean that’s the case with dozens of Pokemon. Even in earlier gen you can get a ledian at like lv5
Interesting. But that happens tons of places, and with more impressive levels and Pokemon. Lvl 9 Salamences, lvl 5 Gyarados etc
Black n white roms are all messed up with that stuff. I caught a mid 20s Ferroseed that somehow knew Flash Cannon even though in gen 5, Ferroseed doesnt learn that move until level 51 and Ferrothorn until level 62.
But apparently in later gens, Ferroseed/thorn learns it at level 20 (insanely early).
It seems for the rom im using, someone modified the game so certain pokemon arent using their gen 5 stats but instead using gen 6 to 9 stats.

I shiny hunted Regieleki in Shield. I ended up going double over odds (~8,000 encounters). I was under the impression that the Shiny Charm would affect it so I temporarily quit the hunt to get it, came back, and then got the shiny at only 50 encounters. I was actually bummed about it then because it didn't feel satisfying. Several months later, I was informed that the Shiny Charm doesn't affect the Regis and that the 50 encounter thing was just a crazy coincidence. Never have I been so happy to hear about the Shiny Charm not affecting something. That also explained the overodds Regigigas hunt I did afterwards. My shiny luck in Shield is hot garbage lol.
Congrats
The rates are broken in Sword and Shield anyway.
You're supposed to get double shiny odds at 200, 300, 400, and maxes out at 500. But it doesn't. Because they f*cked up. And haven't fixed it. Or finished the pokedex. God I hate the downfall of game freak.

Oh man… I remember spending the whole night with my two best friends catching and trading 999 low level pidgey-like Pokémon to my friend‘s Pokémon ranch, only for us to /finally/ be rewarded with that sweet, sweet Mew. It was sooo tedious but also, we had such a good time together with all the ridiculous stuff happening on Pokémon ranch, it‘s one of my most precious memories
I think it was Bidoofs for me.
Such a amazing memories you've got brother, I wish my friends played pokemons
interestingly, the part that probably took the most time was healing/buying pokeballs. based on encounter times, it would take around 2 to 4 hours to pull off if you had that many pokeballs/attacks, but factor in healing and purchases and it might become an extra hour or two depending upon how you do it (like only false swipe, etc)
I'd like to provide an update on the Mew thing.
If you have a Let's Go! Eevee and a Sword or Shield save file on your switch, you can get both Jirachi and Mew by talking to the elderly couple at the bottom left of the flower field in BD/SP. The Lady gives Mew, the Gentleman gives Jirachi
Yup, over HOME. That's exactly how I got my (now level 100) Mew in Shield
In fact, the legendary was originally supposed to be a similar category such as grassland, cave or forest Pokémon. But then the idea was scrapped and today, when we talk about the legendary Pokémon, we mean something completely different (today, the legendary means incredibly rare and often very powerful Pokémon like Lugia or Entei which wasn't the original purpose of that category). So according to the original Pokedex book, published in 1996, the Arcanine was categorized as legendary as were Dratini and Dragonite too. This book was published only in Japan but was never localized in the West. You should watch the Did You Know Gaming's video trilogy of the Lost Pokedex.
6:10 if I remember correctly you have to have your Pokémon star in a “Cult Classic” which means during filming you have to meet certain secret conditions. If done correctly the movie will get a different ending
Wait really?! I played pokestar studios a lot and thought it was done once I got a good rating in ever movie with rentals it feels like whenever I feel like I fully completed that game there’s still more content
Yes, basically you just do the hidden conditions for an odd ending (found on bulbapedia).
Better fact Hayley's Mew is the one of the few times Mew has had Synthesis and more importantly Hypnosis. To date this is the only Mew with Hypnosis.
Incorrect.
There is someone in Pokémon XD who can teach Mew the moves Hypnosis, Zap Cannon, Feint Attack, Fake Out, Night Shade and Role Play.
@@MrEnte3000 That Tutor teaches it to any Mew in gen 3. My point is the only Mew that has ever had the move by default is her gift Mew. However you are right that the one XD Tutor gives it to any Mew. So you can move up a Mew from gen 3 and have the move on it. I will give you that. But as far as I know no Mew other than her gift has ever been given the move by default. Making it a cool rare event. If we account for Tutors then Mew gets a few cool moves between the gen 3 games like Soft-Boiled.
Isn't there a TM for Hypnosis or no?
@@FireFox2590 No.
@@MrEnte3000 Is there a TM for Sing? Also what is the difference between Sing and Hypnosis?
For the Mew fact, would you count Pokémon Go in all of those games, because you can legitimately get Mew in the Mythical Discovery Special Research (which everyone gets when the start the game) and you can transfer that Mew to Pokémon Home.
Its also a gift in BDSP.

They should have Mew available as a hidden Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet, sort of like with the mythicals in Arceus but you don’t have to have any other games.
Also, I like to think that using the Pomeg berry glitch in gen 3 to go to Faraway Island to obtain Mew is semi legitimate, because it makes sense that to get the rarest Pokémon of them all requires tampering with reality itself.
Something I noticed in the Scarlet and Violet trailers is that there are an incredible number of yellow trucks... just saying.....

6:15 - The Star animation came from getting a "Strange Ending (Cult Ending)" in at least one film using one of your own personal Pokemon as opposed to the rental ones. (Note: Pokemon that belonged to N could not get this animation, as their own unique animation canceled it out.)
Since you'd get more cash both from using your own Pokemon _and_ from getting Strange Endings anyway, AND you'd get more fans in the lobby afterward than a True Ending, it was a relatively easy way to grind for both cash _and_ good items like five-packs of Moomoo Milk and Old Gateaus.

Venonat has more than likely made it into the Gen 9 Regional Dex since this video has been up. It’s in the Scarlet And Violet trailer! We did it! [confetti]
I can confirm. Venonat is in the Scarlet and Violet games
I'm glad that the little guy finally made it back!
I caught several Venonat and Venomoth already.
I did it...
It's in Hgss no? I realize the games are remakes but, that's still something no?
Another obscure fact about Venomoth:
For some reason, in RS, there’s two shades of yellow in its palette that go unused. Venomoth’s Gen 1 official art had yellow spots, but still.
Speaking of unseen details, in Poképark Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure, Deoxys’ model has two extra arms WITH HANDS on its back. They even move, but the fingers don’t move. In that same game, Deoxys has some unused blinking eye states. He actually has the code to blink, he just never uses it. (Source: TCRF.)
This is the first obscure facts video over ever seen where it actually seems like the author took the time to get feedback from test audiences about facts they did and didn’t know.
One of the only shiny mons I’ve ever caught was a shiny Giratina in Pokémon platinum. I transferred all my Pearl Pokémon over just so I could run through the game and get to the fancy stuff. Had a master ball in hand so I didn’t bother saving before the battle and boom that floaty origin form ghost boy had blue tips. I saved the game probably 5 times after to make sure lmao
Did I know the Kadabra Everstone fact? I discovered it! To my knowledge at the very least, I was the first person to bring this to light, way back when in the days of Gen 4, up to and including arguing with people on Bulbapedia who insisted it had to be a glitch even as it persisted throughout the generations. I found this out when moving Pokémon from Pearl to Platinum, and a Kadabra I was intending on keeping a Kadabra evolved in spite of the Everstone I had given it. The reason is almost certainly Uri Geller-related- yes, his beef was with the TCG, but the fact that this only affected Kadabra specifically, ad is clearly not an unintended glitch... it can't be coincidence. Now that he's actually apologized and ended all of that, though, it'll be interesting to see whether this persists in BDSP...
I'm just angry they didn't also do it for Haunter with the Mindy trade.
Why are you lying? It was obviously me that discovered the kadabra thing duhhh
Pokémon’s soulja boy💪🏼
What would this have to do with Uri Geller?
@@dstinnettmusic Kadabra was never allowed in the TCG after the first generation because Uri Geller sued them for using his likeness. There's no proof this "glitch" is linked to Geller but it's an interesting theory.
In BDSP, they gift you a Mew in Floaroma Town. You need a save file from one of the Let Go games so technically no accessories required! Just gotta speak to the old couple
Underrated Comment! I was totally waiting for that one to appear, but I guess forgot about this gift
To get the pokestar animation, you have to complete a whole script perfectly.
Edit: disregard above. to get the animation, deviate from the script but still get the desired ending.
Not true. The opposite in fact. You have to go off script to get the animation. Specifically, after filming a movie you can film it again using your own Pokemon. For the first movie, "Brycen-Man" the script tells you to knock out a Pokemon every turn. Using your own Pokemon, If you use a status move, the director will be like "What are you doing?" and end the film. Release it and the film will have the "Strange Ending" and the Pokemon you chose to star in it will now have the unique star animation

About getting a Mew, I don't know if having to play another game counts as an accessory but you can now get a Mew in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl if you have save data of the Let's Go games on your switch. So it's fairly accessible now.

Munchlax was in Pokemon mystery dungeon red rescue team as an event. Unobtainable, but you saw and talked to him. And there was a Lucario rank for your team rank. It's supposed to be because Lucario was a legendary adventurer.
Always went with the assumption that Kadabra always evolved regardless of Everstone or not due to the whole Uri Gellar lawsuit. Wanted them to evolve as quick as possible.
He recently dropped it apparent, but I
assume that too
@@MortisMedia that would make sense now I think of it.

One fact I knew nothing about was that Venonat and Mew have been extensively screwed over in the main series by Game Freak.

Alright, looks like my really obscure knowledge can come into play here. As it turns out, in relation to the venonat not appearing in any regional pokedex past Johto, it technically does make one other appearance in a regional pokedex, albeit in a side game.
In pokemon XD, (and possibly colluseum, not sure) venonat can in fact be found in the pokedex for the orre region.
Also not to mention Soul silver, and let's go due to their technically 4th and 7th gen games respectfully
Colosseum wouldn't have it. No wild Pokémon
Kadabra *was* the only pokemon to evolve despite holding an everstone, but now tandemaus in gen 9 will also evolve, presumably because of it's unique evolution
I always felt like the way to get mew in gen1 felt very legitimate even though i suppose its a glitch i guess.
I think it cpatures sorta what finding mew should be like.
10:58
You can get one in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl if you have a save file for any of the Let's go games.
Just a save file in general, or what? Because my best friend has both Let's Go games.

The speedrun category for the instant text glitch wasn’t just because it was debatable if it was a glitch or not. Speedrunners at the time didn’t really enjoy the glitch’s existence because it required resetting a lot more and much fewer runs actually finished the game. Since you also couldn’t open the start menu and do a lot of things.
In BDSP there is 2 npc that give you both mew (if you have a let's go save file) and jirachi (if you have a sword/shield save file) and they are available really early on in the game

I legitimately got Mew on original Red and Blue by going to a Pokémon event at my local mall, they'd trade you a Mew for going to the event. This was back in 1998 or so.
Related to the movie? Yeah..... but its not possible anymore.
Hilarious that you made such a point about Mew being unobtainable then they just go and give it away to pretty much everyone in BDSP 😂
Yeah such a legendary. Just give it to them. So legendary
That's funny, I had one in original red. Some kid at a school camp caught one. I watched him catch it. I still can't believe it. He duplicated trade with everyone there. I already had all 150 so eh.

You can get a mew in gen 1 I found it a long time ago
Old game cartridges have batteries that can die? I've heard of this before but never seen a confirmed case. Please explain this too me.
@@stevegordie3799 basically, there was a small cell battery in the cartridge that acts as a backup to keep the memory alive and the save file intact if you didn’t power the cartridge for a while and to keep track of time in some games, it was very common (GBA games like Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald even had it, although their battery was for the clock and not the save file, as flash memory had become more useful by then).
So if you have an old game like Pokémon Red or Blue that hasn’t been used in a very long time and you haven’t changed the battery quickly enough, that save file is gone forever.
My condolences for your loss T.T

The Kadabra thing is forced to evolve due to an old lawsuit over Kadabra. That's also why Kadabra isn't printed in very many tcg if any since early sets.
Hey, Yuri Gellar said he's over the Kadabra ban now, let's see if they change it with upcoming games!
I love just bingeing these Pokémon fact videos you make. They're great.
I'VE HAD MY POKEMON RANCH SINCE 2008 AND I NEVER KNEW THAT. Slight problem though--if you were to bring the maximum amount of Pokemon then Hailey expands the ranch to the full area, which means no small area outside the ranch for me to try and trap all of the Miis and cause havoc with the bursts which was my fav part about that game
I’ve actually seen the Kadabra thing happen firsthand. It was during Marriland’s Wedlocke. He wanted to use the everstone to move his Kadabra to another game so he could capture the evolution on screen for his main game. This explains why that didn’t work
I’ve been playing since r/b/y and have caught every pokemon to date, yet new still eludes me. Felt like team rocket for the last 20 years
I caught mew on yellow with the teleport glitch on nugget bridge
Nugget Bridge Glitch is how I got my Mew as well
Well, you are in luck. Apparently there is an old lady that will give you a mew if you have a Let's Go save on your switch. So there's that. I missed most of the middle generations (and still haven't been able to get ahold of the gen 5 games) but just yesterday I got my final non legendary/mythical Pokemon into Home. Not sure where to start with most of them though, I'm sure a lot of them are difficult to get at the moment.
I like the poka-star Studio and the badges you’ll get for doing stuff in black2/white2. (Stuff for beating the champion using only “enter type here” Pokémon or beating the champion with a single Pokémon)
5:40 they changed it because, since Gen 3, you couldn’t chatch them all.
Look up what it takes to complete the Pokédex in Gen 3, its nearly impossible and not just because of the mythicals.
Indeed, you'd have to get your hands on a Japanese copy of Coliseum to even get Celebi. And even then, you can't get Mew without glitching or events.
@@tigerwarrior1787 I mean, mythicals don't actually count for catching them all ingame and mew always required some time based event that recently got replaced with "own this accesory/game and we will give it to you"
Also Celebi wasn't even avaliabile in the og gsc.
As far as I recall for those who don't want to look it up;
All pokemon from Fire Red/Leaf Green, R/S/E version exclusives (don't forget our beloved Milotic grind), plus beating Pokemon Colosseum for Ho-Oh and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness for Lugia, AND completing Pokemon XD's Mt. Battle (100 proceedingly harder battles) *all in one go, without leaving* for Cyndaquil with Blast Burn, Chikorita with Frenzy Plant, or Totodile with Hydro Cannon.
On top of all this, link cables and multiple saves are needed on XD as I'm not sure you're allowed another starter after Mt. Battle without a new save.
All in all, 7 beaten games worth of content (9 if you include the re-runs of Pokemon XD, since it's highly unlikely anyone beats Mt. Battle without doing the main story first)
Don't think Celebi or Mew count towards the Emerald pokedex completion, could be wrong though.
Edit; feel like I forgot something about Mt. Battle and Ho-Oh? My bad, only played colosseum once. Don't remember if Ho-Oh was post-game.
@@williamhowes3010 what about breeding for the non mythicals? Say a friend breeds their battle tower rewards and trade with you?
@@searchingforeverywhere3972 It would certainly be a nice option, but realistically most people would have to do it on their own.
Either way, it is a *massive* amount of effort just to get a pat on the back from Prof. Birch. Having a friend would make things *easier* but I imagine still far too much a hassle for mere bragging rights to a 2000's game.
Edit; If you're genuinely asking if this would change the amount of games/work, I highly doubt it will change very much unless your friend has their entire dex completed themselves. But by that point, it pretty much just requires beating the game for your legendaries then trade for FR/LG legends and johto pokemon, as well as Ho-Oh and Lugia from the GameCube games but the fact still stands *they* still had to go through that amount of effort themself.
At the very least you still have to beat 4+ games to do it through trading/breeding
I fucking lost it at pokemon ranch: that is obscure and I just bearly remember that as a kid. You have my well deserved like sir
While it's technically a glitch, the Cerulean City Mew Glitch is about the easiest glitch to catch a Pokemon in all the games. Most glitches seem a lot harder, but with Mew it's pretty straightforward.
Update to the Venonat fact: Justice has been done. Venonat is in the Paldea Pokedex.
You can now obtain Mew for simply having let’s go save data and playing bdsp. I liked it a lot more when it was incredibly elusive.
It still is. Cause it seems that you don't get it if you have a let's go and SwSh save. Then you only get Jirachi
You could get Mew in Gen 1. I guess not many people know this, but yeah, there’s absolutely a way to obtain Mew in Red, Blue & Yellow.
@@OJuggernautO but it’s through a glitch. No legitimate way to obtain
@@NiickW It’s the only way to obtain Mew in Gen 1. So obviously it was an intended mechanic. So I don’t necessarily consider it a glitch. Regardless, whether you believe it to be a glitch or not, you still can obtain Mew in Gen 1.
It’s akin to saying the battle between you and Prof Oak is a “glitch”. Technically yes, but it’s the only way you can get access to that battle. And he has a full lineup of 6 good Pokémon with a programmed AI. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@OJuggernautO The way you encounter mew is by manipulating the games code. Same for the Oak battle. Manipulating game code is not intentional game mechanics. Not saying that mew isn’t obtainable, but as the video stated, we were trying to find a way to obtain mew without the use of glitches.

"How else am I supposed to complete the Dex without stealing or hacking?" You aren't! Why would you believe you are?
It's like asking, "How else am I supposed to ride Thomas the Tank Engine in Skyrim?"
It's intentional game design that you're not supposed to complete the Dex in a singular game, just as much as Thomas the Tank engine isn't in vanilla Skyrim.
