So that small story at 3:40 when examining the bookcase is actually from Earthbound. In the game, there's a small house in Onett you can buy and it has the story there if I'm remembering it correctly.
The ratatta entry is not just being dramatic: it's a reference to the name of the strategy: FEAR, aka Focus sash Endeavor quick Attack Rattatta, or, as the the entry says, Fucking Evil Annoying Rodent
Some joke explanations: - The joke with the "unable to modify the rom" is bc the og dialogue is "caterpie can't hack it" -10u is a theoretical smogon tier for competitive RBY where only 6 pokemon are legal, being weedle, kakuna, caterpie, metapod, magikarp, and ditto -the speech from that one trainer is a reference to a dude who ragequit during a major showdown tournament -Other than just being a reference to the tcg, the gym is based on the tcg video game, the scyther is based on one of the most busted early decks, and imakuni was a musician who did songs for the pokemon anime and got honored by becoming a tcg card and a reoccurring character in the tcg game Also you completely missed the fact that combee had sweet scent lol
@@chocola6971 I think its a reference to the notoriously shit competitive sets made by a notoriously shit poketuber and person that i refuse to even name
Oh my goodness, wow! Thank you so much for covering this! I'm so glad you enjoyed! For anyone who wants to play themselves: Grab some friends! There's a semi-public Beta available for after you finish the demo!
@@PoiyoLmaoit's a reference to the notorious youtuber Verlisify, famous for unironically recommending sets like Heavy Slam Wailord and Fury Cutter Venusaur (also famous for many worse things)
@@Celia_Dawn I got it immediately lol, I've always found it funny that they swapped the original line "Caterpie can't cut it" to "Caterpie can't hack it"
Every time I hear the "hey take it easy, you won already!" line, I keep thinking about that post that said they imagined Red beating Gary and then walking up to him to punch him or something
That Shorts Trainer having a Mew? That's actually a reference to a Gen 1 glitch, where players would use a glitch to run away from battling that Trainer in that spot, to spawn an encounter with a Mew. Because of that, the glitch was given the alternate name, the "Mew Glitch", as it was most frequently used on that specific Trainer, to encounter Mew in battle to catch it. There's more to that glitch than only using Fly/Teleport to avoid a Trainer you lock eyes with, but I don't feel like going deep into explaining that glitch. In short, the Special stat of the Pokemon that Trainer had in Red and Blue, was the exact Special stat needed to trigger a Mew encounter with that glitch.
So, some jokes I caught. Rattata having Endeavor, Quick Attack and a Focus Band, and its Dex entry being "fucking evil annoying rodent" is referencing the FEAR strategy, which involves Focus Sash, Endeavor, Quick Attack Rattata at level 1, which can defeat any Pokemon in a 1v1 scenario as long as it isn't a ghost-type (or has a priority move). "FEAR" is even an acronym for "Fucking Evil Annoying Rodent". "For Bugs, use Poison!" is referencing the original Gen 1 games where Poison was super-effective on Bug-types. "No! CATERPIE is unable to modify the existing rom to create unintended behaviour!" is an overly verbose way of saying the bug catcher's original quote, "No! CATERPIE can't hack it!" The "The SLOWBRO blocked me in..." is a reference to an infamous Slowbro set called FunBro, meant to make games last forever- it's a moveset consisting of Block, Heal Pulse, Recycle and Slack Off. The long-winded ranting bird keeper is meant to be Lavos, a Smogon player who infamously ragequit in a 2019 tournament when his opponent's Gyarados flinched his team three times with Waterfall, costing him two of his Gyarados counters- his Thunderpunch Jirachi and Explosion Heatran, with his rant afterwards ending up getting him banned entirely (Which serves as both his loss quote and post-battle conversation).
I thought the Gary/Larry/Jerry bit was a Spongebob reference, you know, when Gary went to live with Patrick, and Spongebob went to get Larry and Jerry to try and make him come back via jealousy, but Larry hated him and Jerry...Uh...He was indeed Jerry.
For the confused ones - one random dude says that he and his Dragonite FEAR Rattatas. Rattata's dex entry is F'in Evil Annoying Rodent - F.E.A.R. And the complete package that every Rattata apparently carries is Focussash Endeavor quickAttack Rattata - F.E.A.R.

3:53 Oooh! That’s an Earthbound reference! A single house sits on a cliff west of Onett that just has a couch and a drawer in it. Inspecting the drawer will reveal a book with THIS exact story!
The Imakumi is a reference to some really old colab cards that had some really strong tcg influence iirc. That or the creator included them because those cards are weird af
The cool thing about romhacks is that they're still roms. So... Gameshark codes should work on them. Walk through walls, huh? Win unwinnable battles? Breaking romhacks sounds so fun... In theory. Most hacks have disappointing results. This one sounds funny enough to maybe have some Easter eggs?
3:36 oh my gosh that's the story you can find in Earthbound!! I love it!!! 4:20 "Whoops, it looks like you've pressed L or R by mistake!". This is such a mood after replaying Fire Red and Leaf Green. Mainly because I'm so used to L and R being things like switching the PC box like in Scarlet and Violet, that it really is easy to accidentally press those buttons on those games. Love the custom borders!! I need the rainbow one in my life!! Love the puns with Oak and Daisy with the corresponding sprites!! 6:40 Charmander having spikes on his back is a reference to the old Red and Green (jp) sprites. It was also probably a leftover of the Charmander lines old design. Also it's why a lot of trainers had whips due to an old scrap mechanic. Charmander being a Fire/Fighting type is amazing! "Can you believe that my script took three whole days to debug?" I could definitely believe that is someone who tried to make a Ruby romhack. Never again!! I didn't even finish it!! Oh god the FEAR rattatas!! 10:30 screeew yooouu gaame!! Hahaha!! I will never forgive the anime for introducing the GS ball and just dropping it as if it weren't important. My friends and I were looking forward to whatever was in that darn ball! We speculated it was Celebi, we speculated it was ho-Oh, maybe the same one from the first episode, a potential Gold 2 and Silver 2 Pokemon because we thought that was going to be a thing before Crystal existed. And it comes to find out that there was supposed to be a Celebi but the fourth movie happened and then they just dropped the GS Ball plot line all together. Why?! Makes me wonder if the Ether thing is a reference to how Ethers and Elixirs are the only items that aren't sold anywhere and the only real way in game to get a consistent PP healing item after gen 3 introduced berries is to grind up a butt ton of leppa berries. Pig Monkey made me laugh! Oh my God, The fact that they actually gave us Zapdos to Gary that you have to figure out how to defeat with the Rattata is amazing!! 15:16 Oh my gosh!! I always thought it was weird that Kakuna had those arm things sticking out in the old sprites. Especially since we never saw that in the anime. 18:35 I guess it did take light years to reach Brock!! I think that's my favorite joke so far. Edit: that's equivalent to 10,000 light years. 18:58 That is an amazing sprite! Honestly, I wish Crystal Onix was a real thing. Even if it was a Water Type Tera Type. 19:09 That is super adorable! I actually have a Furret in Soul Silver named Accumula. I love her so much!! 21:28 Love me some anime references. 22:04 That is amazing and hilarious at the same time. "Why did you stare at me!?" Lady I'm just trying to go to Mt Moon!! 22:26 I freaking went to orbit over this one! The noises I made through laughter didn't even sound human!! 22:49 Not only is it a reference to Smash, but an alt of Jigglypuff that wears a headband. I love Headband Jigglypuff. 23:08 bookmark for myself.
Hi! Creator here! This is prolly gonna get very buried, but I just wanted to say I'm glad you're enjoying watching my dumb hack! Why don't you try playing yourself? ^^
I love the Nidotran family and this Primeape really highlights what Subjectively mentioned with redesigning Grumpig, giving it a more pig-like face gives a very different vibe
10U is a reference to a Big Yellow video where he creates the lowest possible competitive RBY tier, populated by just Cterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, magikarp and Ditto. The surprise when I found that reference kek
this is the greatest romhack I've ever seen, seeing a bunch of references to old TCG, game glitches, the history of competitive Pokemon, and Smash was very nostalgic. the Smogon ragequit speech being given to a trainer here, lmaooooo, fucking incredible stuff.
I really hope this dumb hack gets finished in development entirely, but the fact so many Pokemon rom hacks are in beta or alpha, and the romhacker gives up on the project, gives me little hope of this happening. I in the past tried my own hand at romhacking, while not knowing how to code, but I lost the data of it when my previous computer broke, and I never backed it up, so I lost that project and everything on that computer. You though aren't really missing anything by me losing my romhacking data, it was a very minor hack that didn't change much at all.
Hi, I'm the creator! For a little context, in real life I have a career as a Project Engineer, so I have a lot of experience bringing a project from beginning to end. Currently, I have detailed plans written up through the 6th gym, with a strong outline for the rest of the hack. This hack won't be done anytime soon, but it will be done.
Two minutes in and I'm already dying at "Alt + F4 opens developer mode," "I am an oak," and the male sprite popping up when you choose Female. I'm ready for the ride of my life!
A youtuber called Verlisify, he's kind of a meme for recommending terrible VGC movesets such as fury cutter on Venusaur and heavy slam on Wailord. Mostly he's just known for being extremely toxic toward the rest of the community, I wouldn't recommend looking him up.
37:33 that is a reference of Smogon-Lavos 40:55 Psyduck-Golduck reference after the orange island series where Misty thought her psyduck evolved but it was it's pokeball.
So, the TCG club is a reference to the TCG game for Gameboy, where you battle at TCG clubs. Pretty sure the gym is a revamped version of one of the buildings. Imakuni is a recurring NPC who you can battle at them, he has his own card and weird music. Big nostalgia blast from that!
Okay so that story about the demon child is actually an earthbound reference! I believe it's somewhere in that house you can buy at the outskirts of Onett
That running into the woods at 5:30 was also in older Final Fantasy games with some NPC's, where at some point you just can't interact with them till you re-enter the town
Looks a very fun and quirky romhack. There's so many with a good story, latest pokemon in or difficult to beat already that having one that's fun in general is a breath fo fresh air. Side note: I'm still surprised there isn't a TCG romhack made for GBA, such a shame there wasn't an official one after the 1st one (and 2nd Japan only one).
Surf on the right side of cinnibar island. Itll probably duplicate items and spawn missingno and pokemon who are past lvl 100 like it did in gen 1. I'm assuming thats what the old man at 11:45 was referring too.
Idk if anyone noticed, but Shorts Dan having a Mew is a reference to the glitch you can use with that trainer to force an encounter with Mew in the OG Red and Blue. He's one of two trainers in the game that work. If you beat him before you have fly, you kinda miss your chance to glitch in Mew. I would die laughing if there's an encounter with Mew later in the game but you cant catch it if you've beaten Dan.
Zippo is the name of Ritchie's Charmeleon from the anime. In the indigo league platue season when Ash went to take on the League he ran into this trainer who also has a Pikachu named Sparky. This is the trainer Ash lost to during the Pokemon League tournament thing in the first series. Just wanted to throw this information here but im sure someone else may have already mentioned it, but just in case..
19:07 Is that the actual overworld sprite for Furret in FRLG? That's kinda cool, I've never seen that before. Not sure if you can even get a sentret/furret in the games
Funny thing about using the Butterfree on Onix. My first Pokémon game was Yellow and I didn't know you could catch a Mankey to the left of Viridian City. So I used a Butterfree to beat Brock my first time lol
A youtuber called Verlisify, Venusaur and Wailord were part of a VGC team he recommended which became a meme for how terrible it was. He's mostly known for being *extremely* toxic toward the rest of the community, wouldn't recommend looking him up honestly.

I love the FSEQAR, its a funny set
Wouldn't FEQR make mire sense and phonetically be more funny lol
Some joke explanations:
- The joke with the "unable to modify the rom" is bc the og dialogue is "caterpie can't hack it"
-10u is a theoretical smogon tier for competitive RBY where only 6 pokemon are legal, being weedle, kakuna, caterpie, metapod, magikarp, and ditto
-the speech from that one trainer is a reference to a dude who ragequit during a major showdown tournament
-Other than just being a reference to the tcg, the gym is based on the tcg video game, the scyther is based on one of the most busted early decks, and imakuni was a musician who did songs for the pokemon anime and got honored by becoming a tcg card and a reoccurring character in the tcg game

I needed to draw attention to it somehow!
@@Celia_Dawn People don't say it NOW but people definitely used to say "can't hack it."
23:00 lmao the Hbox Jiggly using Pop Off is a reference to that time he popped off so hard he passed out
I think the distance it says there is a reference to "Youre lightyears away from defeating brock"
Waiting for the trainer that says “Let’s have fun, bro!” before doing the slowbro infinite battle setup
wasn't possible in-battle but it was referenced
@@maxlimit9129 awesome
Every time I hear the "hey take it easy, you won already!" line, I keep thinking about that post that said they imagined Red beating Gary and then walking up to him to punch him or something
you guys aren't even remotely ready for what celia is cooking. this part is the _least_ funny part of the game and it's still peak
It's actually funny just how much worse this section of the hack is compared to literally everything else coming up.
I'll admit it, the oldspaper joke got a chuckle out of me
The joke's even better in the new patch!
About butterfree not being an answer to onix, when I played pokemon yellow as a kid my answer to brock was always butterfree with confusion
Yup! It's the easiest way to deal with him as a kid

Rattata having Endeavor, Quick Attack and a Focus Band, and its Dex entry being "fucking evil annoying rodent" is referencing the FEAR strategy, which involves Focus Sash, Endeavor, Quick Attack Rattata at level 1, which can defeat any Pokemon in a 1v1 scenario as long as it isn't a ghost-type (or has a priority move). "FEAR" is even an acronym for "Fucking Evil Annoying Rodent".
"For Bugs, use Poison!" is referencing the original Gen 1 games where Poison was super-effective on Bug-types.
"No! CATERPIE is unable to modify the existing rom to create unintended behaviour!" is an overly verbose way of saying the bug catcher's original quote, "No! CATERPIE can't hack it!"
The "The SLOWBRO blocked me in..." is a reference to an infamous Slowbro set called FunBro, meant to make games last forever- it's a moveset consisting of Block, Heal Pulse, Recycle and Slack Off.
The long-winded ranting bird keeper is meant to be Lavos, a Smogon player who infamously ragequit in a 2019 tournament when his opponent's Gyarados flinched his team three times with Waterfall, costing him two of his Gyarados counters- his Thunderpunch Jirachi and Explosion Heatran, with his rant afterwards ending up getting him banned entirely (Which serves as both his loss quote and post-battle conversation).
FEAR originally stood for Focus (sash) Endeavor (quick) Attack Rattata, the other meaning of FEAR was a backronym poking fun at the strategy
U missed the Brock joke of frying pan
@@legendoof9501 and the sprinklers being set off which is also an anime reference.
37:48 Please tell me they did the entire copypasta.
also Spearownolactone made me chuckle
I had to slightly edit the copypasta down because putting the entire thing crashed the game lmfao
The ironic thing about Gary/Larry/Jerry is the rival's default in-game name is Terry iirc
And Terry was a name I explicitly avoided just for this reason!

I hope that the final punchline to the whole joke will be that the champion is Barry from D/P.

the lavos copypasta made me laugh out loud
i loved all the showdown references
39:30 the song from the TCG Gameboy Game! It's so good!
Cal totally missed the Combee having Sweet Scent haha
I wonder if this is the same Celia that made the final fantasy tactics romhack.
No, but if you ever see her tell her she has great taste in names.
The spearow’s nickname is surprisingly creative, I’m sad he brushed over it so quickly lol
I see something Sonic-adjacent, I click
Y'know not quite the crowd i was aiming for, but I'll take it!
Okay so that story about the demon child is actually an earthbound reference! I believe it's somewhere in that house you can buy at the outskirts of Onett
That running into the woods at 5:30 was also in older Final Fantasy games with some NPC's, where at some point you just can't interact with them till you re-enter the town
I never heard of this before, but that's excellent!
10U reference goes so hard
Looks a very fun and quirky romhack. There's so many with a good story, latest pokemon in or difficult to beat already that having one that's fun in general is a breath fo fresh air.
Side note: I'm still surprised there isn't a TCG romhack made for GBA, such a shame there wasn't an official one after the 1st one (and 2nd Japan only one).
There's an English translation of the second
11:15 The f.e.a.r strat reference lol
''I am shorts! I'm comfortable and easy to wear!'' Got me. 🤣
Ngl i saw the thumbnail and thought it was another 4chan hack
the big yellow reference is funny
which one
15:50 Larvesta: I’m sorry what did you just say me just now?
YO, I don't think I've seen anything funnier than a Charizard, evolving into squirtle with shades, which evolves into Ivysaur then BACK to charizard.
Spearanolactone is a play on Spirinolactone, which is a pharmaceutical drug used to treat high blood pressure and block androgens in women.
I’d love to see more of this in the future, one of my favourite ROM hacks in awhile
Surf on the right side of cinnibar island. Itll probably duplicate items and spawn missingno and pokemon who are past lvl 100 like it did in gen 1. I'm assuming thats what the old man at 11:45 was referring too.
Idk if anyone noticed, but Shorts Dan having a Mew is a reference to the glitch you can use with that trainer to force an encounter with Mew in the OG Red and Blue. He's one of two trainers in the game that work. If you beat him before you have fly, you kinda miss your chance to glitch in Mew.
I would die laughing if there's an encounter with Mew later in the game but you cant catch it if you've beaten Dan.
11:58 I died at this part
"Fucking evil annoying rodent" is just another way to see the meaning of FEAR lmao
I liked and subscribed when you said the people watching are your friends 🙂
it's fun getting all the references that you missed
6:58 This is actually the first time I've seen the Pokemon menu tutorial (sort of).
Nidotran being the Egg pokemon gives me _so_ much joy! 😆
They'll figure themselves out soon :)
@@Celia_DawnI'm glad you got creative instead of just making Marill or Sylveon trans like apparently everyone else.
HOLY POKEMON BASED VERSION
TRANS SPEAROW CONFIRMED
(the nickname is a type of medication trans women might take for HRT)
TRANS WOMEN SUPREMACY
(it's a play on spironolactone, a drug that blocks testosterone)
other trans references are the textbox border and nidotran
Huh. Interesting.
I love this. It's so dense with little jokes and references
15:24 10U is a competitive tier (like OverUsed) that’s contains those 6 Pokemon and nothing else
8:12 I swear this is the most evil Pokemon joke ever made in a hack xD
Rattata's Pokedex is a reference to the strategy named FEAR.
3:36 Earthbound Reference.
Zippo is the name of Ritchie's Charmeleon from the anime. In the indigo league platue season when Ash went to take on the League he ran into this trainer who also has a Pikachu named Sparky.
This is the trainer Ash lost to during the Pokemon League tournament thing in the first series.
Just wanted to throw this information here but im sure someone else may have already mentioned it, but just in case..
Where do you think I got the nickname from
Toadscool is going to crease your J’s
I like how jigglypuff is a reference to hungrybox
38 minutes, i love the reddit post reference lmfao hilarious
33:31 oh boy, what's the reference here?
Local sign goes ^.^
How it make that face
Watching this after dmca took down Relic Castle
This rom hack is just what we're all thinking about old Pokemon features we wanted.
Exactly! You get it!
This is the funniest hack I've seen. I chuckled all the way through.
Sandra spikes on his back because in the original gen 1 games he had a spike on his neck. This is just the improved version of it i guess.
This game is a celebration of all things memed in Pokemon and I love it
Exactly!
19:07 Is that the actual overworld sprite for Furret in FRLG? That's kinda cool, I've never seen that before. Not sure if you can even get a sentret/furret in the games
Nope, there actually isn't one. I had to draw and animate it myself! (based on HGSS)
spearownalactone made me laugh it's so stupid i love it
Funny thing about using the Butterfree on Onix. My first Pokémon game was Yellow and I didn't know you could catch a Mankey to the left of Viridian City. So I used a Butterfree to beat Brock my first time lol
3:35 isnt that from the chimera lab in mother 3
the earthbound 1:1 gag from the bookshelf at the start was cute
37:43 the infamous rant of Lavos! I fucking love it!
Lnao wym nobody would use butterfree for the first gym in kanto?? Butterfree has always been a good pokemon for brocks gym
This mod is wild, but I gotta say I love the nickname Zippo for a Charmander.
whats the venusaur wailord reference for?
A youtuber called Verlisify, Venusaur and Wailord were part of a VGC team he recommended which became a meme for how terrible it was. He's mostly known for being *extremely* toxic toward the rest of the community, wouldn't recommend looking him up honestly.
