      Exactly! Getting to see what happened in Kanto after you beat it on Gen 1 provides a nice little story. Little things such as Cerulean Cave being sealed off so the strong pokemon there don't wreck Cerulean City, the Karate Master not being in the dojo because he realized he had to get stronger after you beat him in Gen 1, the effect big business has on a small town when you discover that Lavender Town's Pokemon Tower was bought and converted into a broadcasting station. It's actually really cool!

    A fun thing I noticed in GS: In the Burned Tower there is a Firebreather who says he "burned down to hot ashes" upon defeat. When the map loads back up, his sprite is now black and white until you enter another battle. I actually got a little spooked the first time I noticed it.

    • @JTK_XXL
      @JTK_XXL Год назад +56

      It may have something to do with the legendary beasts one floor below. They are grey before you wake them up and the fire breather may be on the same field as one of them, possibly causing a color switch.

      I thought it was a glitch or it could be exploited to force do a random event, so I turned off the game trying to keep the battle for later (without saving the game) loosing more than a hour of gameplay later finding out only it was a mere sprite colour change with nothing else at all

  • @grateoraclelewot6326
    @grateoraclelewot6326 Год назад +679

    The thing about the twins turning into Sudowoodo happens because there's a limit to how many sprites can be loaded into memory at once. When you go over the limit, whatever you were trying to add will instead appear as one of the sprites that's already loaded, often the player. That particular section of the map is one where the developers wanted to use more sprites than they could fit, so normally, after you battle Sudowoodo, his sprite is replaced in memory by the twin sprite.

    • @NickJamNG
      @NickJamNG Год назад +63

      Came down here to comment just this. Gen 2 has a neat system where they can have these sort of "variable sprites" that change out after certain events occur or other criteria are met. It's handy for things like Rival battles or other one-time events so that the unique sprite used for that NPC can show for that one-time event without taking up space in the normal set of sprites for that area.
      For anyone curious, this system is also why the gate areas exist between towns and routes in only some areas; the game needs a transition like the one that occurs when going through a door or using Fly in order to load in a new sprite set.

    You can get Ho-Oh in silver with sacred ash too. Not just gold.
    There is a guy in Pewter City in Kanto that has a rainbow wing that allows you to go to the burnt tower and catch Ho-Oh at level 70.
    The opposite is true with gold. The same dude in Kanto gives you the silver wing which let's you catch Lugia at the whirlpool caves at level 70.

    • @DrSlasher
      @DrSlasher Год назад +100

      Exactly. However in Crystal you initially get neither the Silver nor the Rainbow Wing at the Radio Tower. Instead, you get the Clear Bell. Later you get the Silver Wing at Pewter City and the Rainbow Wing (from Eusine) at Celadon City after you catch all 3 Legendary Beasts. So I guess Crystal is the one with the +1 item over Gold and Silver

      What they don't get is their signature moves depending on the version. If someone plays Pokémon Gold, Lugia won't have Aeroblast, and if someone plays Pokémon Silver, Ho-oh won't have Sacred Fire. In Pokémon Crystal, neither has access to their signature moves.

    Additional Fact about the Lake of Rage Gyarados (and shiny pokemon in Gen 2) if it's a Pokemon from Gen 1 you can teach it Mimic, use the Time Capsule feature to send it to a copy of Red Blue Yellow, encounter a Ditto and make that Ditto Shiny. By using Mimic you'll copy Ditto's Transform, when the Ditto uses Transform a second time it'll copy your pokemon's DV values (now known as IVs) which determine a pokemon's shininess in gens 1 & 2. Now you have a shiny ditto for 1/64 shiny odds via breeding

Items in these ones are less interesting than the Moon Stone in the room described though.

      Also, according to the description shown in the video, it's a bit more than just 5 Max potions (It's actually 6. Another thing he got wrong.) And 5 Revives.
      It's also 6 Max Elixirs, which I should add, cannot be purchased, so there's only so many you can get throughout the game.
      So Sacred Ash isn't as redundant an Item as he tried to make it sound.
      Interestingly though, I tried looking it up to be sure, and the descriptions are all over the place. Some websites claim it restores PP only in Gen 2, others simply claim it revives and restores HP, others imply it restores PP in all gens, so I'm not sure...

Get to the p.c. Put your starter, then switch to another box. When it saves, turn off your Gameboy. If done correctly, you should see the other 2, starters in your box, when you did all that, again.

    It’s funny that you mentioned the Berserk Gene. I have a particular history with that item.
    I play Draft League on Pokémon Showdown. I’m in a big league that’s gained some notoriety in the community and have played against some very good players. One of these individuals realized a loophole one season that the format we play in allows items that aren’t in the current game’s code. As such, Berserk Gene was fair game due to an oversight. This man drafted Misty Terrain Dracovish with Sand. He’d give it a Berserk Gene and just like that, he’d have a Dracovish at +2 Attack and +2 Speed spamming Fishous Rend with no real great options to counter it. Eventually he did lose in the playoffs that season but it goes down as one of the most iconic team seasons in league history because of that. And yes we did ban Berserk Gene after that season.

    2:25 In Japanese Pokemon Crystal, if you try to enter that Pokecomm Center in Goldenrod without having saved your game (meaning, no prior save file, either; no battery save can exist for this glitch), the game will crash.
    It's the very same glitch that made Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal notorious for crashing when using this PokeComm Center, but the bug actually originated from the original japanese crystal that vietnamese crystal is based on: the original let's players, DeliciousCinnamon, did not save their game, and only relied on save states, which caused them to experience this bug during their playthrough of what was essentially a poorly translated japanese Pokemon Crystal. It's one of the few bugs in Vietnamese Crystal that wasn't the ROM hacker's fault.

    I don't get the whole lacking teams in gen 2 thing, when I could find it to be just as big of a problem in Gen 3. Not to mention Crystal version lets you get stones before post game, it's only if you play Gold/Silver that it happens! Which I never do because Crystal is just better for what it adds.

      It’s still annoying that the stones are RNG locked in crystal :(

      @@TheSmithPlays Doesn't discredit that fact though. You can speed it up by talking to he Mom, but I DO agree there should've just been stones purchased from get go. I would still rather have some diversity than none.

    What's funny is that I played Crystal where I only used Smeargle. I hatched the egg from the daycare and it hatched to a shiny Tyrogue.

    i remember the creepy grayed out creepy ghost girl (which people found with walkthrough walls) that i've seen theorized so many times to have a creepy death plot, which is supported by that cut out dialogue about a girl going missing in the burned tower. at least for me, the mystery was put to rest when you brought up that being something from the pokemon movie, which i didnt watch or know about lol
    edit: apparently according to biff, smith is just wrong again and the ghost girl mystery has nothing to do with the movie

    Idk if anyone has ever told you this but it’s really difficult to understand the last few words of each sentence because you drop your voice so low.
