@@wolfetteplays8894 no, Ash's companions age are in the beginning of puberty so evn if just one year or two years we should see significant changes in their appearance from og to their last episode appearances.
My first playthrough of platinum was also my first pokemon game... I found a red Starly and thought it was some kind of legendary pokemon... I didn't find out until later what a shiny was xD

Did you know that if you release your starter after your first rival battle in hoenn it’ll come back with a mew egg? It’s been almost 7 years but my brother said mudkips almost home
I'm glad wolfe brought up the manga. To this day I still believe the ruby sapphire, diamond and pearl, and black and white manga are top tier stories. Love, death hardships, plot twists, actually evil villans, the stories are amazing!
I've only ever read Red. But even I was impressed at the quality of the story. Everything about the Pokémon feel so much more real, like their actual other animals. It's a shame none of those stories have been adapted into an anime.
I only read the Red and Yellow tales; I still have the volumes! PKMN Adventures was such great storytelling that I loved as a kid and I still think it’s the best PKMN storytelling.
Passing the waterfall from johto into kanto felt really special. That feeling I got from that as a kid is why its still one of my favorites. The internet being the way it was only added to that lmao
When I was 13, the internet convinced me that togepi's base code was in red and blue, and if you defeat the elite 4 50 times without saving, your mom would give you a Togepi. This was not true.
Not even gonna freaking lie. I NEVER once questioned why the most incompetent (and lovable) Rocket grunts were sent to Ash, but now the Giovanni theory is my headcannon
Except for the fact Giovanni never sends the trio after Ash and is seen actively disappointed by their choice of pursuing a kid without any special Pokémon to steal. It's all Jessie, James and Meowth being convinced his Pikachu is the strongest ever for realz because... it beat them, I guess? Like, no other Pokémon's ever done that before, they've gotta have it. Yeah, even as a kid, I actually disliked anime Team Rocket. I played the games - they're supposed to be dangerous criminals to be taken down with the power of Pokéfriendship! You know, the element that makes the show have STAKES? Instead, they're dumbasses with a talking Meowth (AKA a walking gajillion dollars) whose potentially cool backstories are constantly teased and never actually turned into anything relevant. They're great in Sun&Moon, where they (along with most characters at various times) are allowed to actually be comedic gold instead of annoying distractions, but of course any other season is a Sunkern to Sun&Moon's Mewtwo anyway.
@@ewormXD you are right, think they(Jessie and James) said in the last episode that Ash's Pikachu is the strongest pokemon ever after he become a world champion. Also they have seen pikachu beaten everyone, even legendary pokémons, they have a reason to think pikachu is ridiculous strong.
@@ewormXD Team Rocket had some great comedic lines in Johto and Kanto and even Hoenn. I seem to recall James saying “The last time I got this many letters was when I posted a personal ad in the paper!” Or something along those lines in the movie with Entei and the Unown when the Unown are chasing them. They were always meant to be comedic gold, not true threats. They’re failures. The rest of team rocket looks down on them. Lmao
I love Pokémon more now as an adult than I possibly could have as a kid. Even tho the franchise is 25 years, learning about its lore makes it feel brand new again!!
A really nice change of pace from the usual competitive pokemon content. Actually, on that note, an iceberg for competitive pokemon also sounds really fun. A list of scandals, successful gimmicks or meta calls that took everyone by surprise, quirks in the competitive format that weren't resolved until much later, etc
@@rock28408 I think it could work. Start with what anyone in competitive knows, like the Pachirisu win at worlds. Then work your way to more obscure and quirky strategies that still either worked well or got some tourney play, like divecat. You can also go through jokes in the competitive community from less to more obscure.
@@peterbenoni1470 if you're interested in the history of pokemons competitive scene I reccomef checking out false swipe gaming. He's done a tonne of videos covering the topic
I understand you, but it's not unjust. Pikachu had always been there without any problems despite flashing lightning every episode. Once Porygon showed up, problems arose. The association with Porygon showing up is too strong and distinct to relegate the issue to what happened in the narrative.
That theory as to why Ash is always 10 is honestly the most realistic one I’ve ever heard. If Ho-Oh can grant eternal happiness, then it’s pretty obvious what happened. It’s not even that deep
Way back in the day my brother was playing Pokémon soul silver, and he showed me something real strange. He was grinding outside of the sprout tower and he encountered a lv 100 bellsprout. He showed me the encounter and we both witnessed his team get sweeped by it since it was quite early in the game. Sadly we couldn’t take a picture or video because we didn’t have a camera or phone back then since we were just kids. To this day we haven’t seen or heard anyone else encounter something like that, but I swear to you it was real
Pretty sure Ash DID age, and he was CANONICALLY getting a bit too close to adulthood for the company's comfort, so they just said "He's 10 again" and he's been there ever since.
@M A nah, Ash being Alola champion was great, because it really felt much more deserved, he spent long on alola and connected with the people and region, in the other regions, he i just another trainer going around the region collecting badges, in alola he lived, he got involve d in the region and people and you can even feel it once they chant for him in journeys when he visits alola one time, the region really was ash home and gives him the feeling of "i represent this place"
Is no one else interested in what Ash would be like as an adult? I feel like that would open worlds of narrative material. No? Bumbling child forever, right, that doesn't get old.
22:30 we actually know from interviews that the reason Jigglypuff got into Smash is because they were short on characters soon to release so they introduced Jigglypuff since it was a popular pokemon thar conveniently could reuse a lot of already existing moves, namely Kirby's.
My favorite glitch from Gen 1 was encountering Pokemon above Level 100! After talking to the old man that shows how to catch Pokemon in Virdian City, fly down to Cinnabar Island, immediate move right to the edge of the island, surf up and down along the edges. Thanks Wolfey for bringing back the awesome nostalgia and mysteries :D
There was also a rumor about a "pokemon plus and minus" game after XY. Since Scarlet and Violet, there are also new Theories, that the Laser from the Machine in XY made Area Zero in Paldea and the Floette is from there, because it has another type of Flower, than the other pokemons
22:16 I'm so glad someone big mentioned the source code for Pokémon Yellow that was leaked. I always wanted to share stuff like "The Blaine in the anime was different because he was a different character removed very late in development" or "Mewtwo might have initially come from one of the fossils where the old man who lost his fake teeth is". Maybe more people will look it up now.
@@bananaforscale1283 A line of code was found that would display Mewtwo's incomplete Dex entry when talking to one of the fossils in that house. Considering what was going on in Mt Moon, maybe fossils in general were supposed to play a much bigger role in the story.
I remember feeding unlimited rare candy to my missing no and getting a level 1 kangaskhan. Only knew dizzy punch. Only level 1 pokemon at the time. After achieving I felt I achieved everything. Then I tried the Abra mew glitch. Been 10 years since and i stand by poke blue as the best game ever
About gen 2 having Kanto in it: The original version of the game was having trouble fitting onto a single cartridge before Satoru Iwata stepped in with a compression tool so good it practically doubled the size of the game. Because of this, it was decided to add Kanto into the game with the additional space
From one Wolfe to to another, this may be my favorite wideo of yours yet, Wolfey! With only a couple of exceptions, I actually knew nearly all of these, however, the trip down memory lane gave me a ton of laughs. Excellent work, sir!
its been a while since scarlet and violet came out, and since the kalos starters are gonna be transferable, and how the guy who created the ultimate weapon in kalos was named "AZ" (which is the same initials as "area zero"), AND how theres an area you cant reach which is blacked out in the map (the only blacked out area in the entire map)
I feel like Scarlet and Violet is the perfect opportunity to fill the gap with Kalos, since the Iberian Peninsula borders France. It would be really cool if the DLC includes Kalos itself, or maybe some former colonies.
Did anyone else notice in the part about Wobbuffet, there is a clip where a Ditto transforms into Wobbuffet, Ditto's facial Features are over the face of the Wobbuffet Tail, not the main blue-body face, giving evidence that the Tail is the main face of the Pokémon! 😁
Ditto is a pokemon like any other and could mistake fake faces too. It's a mimick/copy pokemon, not "knowing the anatomy" pokemon. I don't think it's too wise to depend on ditto for confirmations even though that's pretty much the only thing we can use for that.
One of the theories I like is that The War Surge mentions was between Johto and Kanto, which is why there are so few ways to get between the two regions, and why there's almost no knowledge of Johto Pokémon before GSC.
A note on the pokemon war: There are very few middle aged men in kanto in the original games. There are old men, and boys, The young men are seen as part of team rocket and any men Surge's age are all in biker gangs which roam from celedon to fuschia (possibly a lot of them are veterans). Lance seems quite young to be the strongest trainer in all of kanto, and why is Prof. Oak in charge of the pokemon league? (the dude's like 75) Additionally, the architecture and culture in Kanto is that of the postwar economic boom the united states had in the 1950s. The mainland of kanto is dominated by the saffron metropolitan area and its suburbs. Much like Earthbound, this game was influenced by post WW2 westernization and chose to make that its setting. Thirdly, why was mewtwo being created? what was the purpose of expending exorbitant amounts of funding and time into crafting a genetically modified mentally unstable killing machine? To end the war. The last group of men you meet in gen 1 is the scientists which work at silph co. or worked at the pokemon mansion. Just some interesting details.
I got lucky and reached Mirage Island the first time I was exploring the area as a kid. Had no idea what it was or why only Wynaut’s appeared. Never saw it again until learning how rare it actually was lmao.
Yea, you're lying unless you had a game shark, cuz you could only ever go to Mirage Island with the event ticket in Emerald and I think Fire Red/Leaf Green, though you probably could have discovered it by cheating the event ticket in or using a walk through barriers code to go visit it, so maybe just maybe you actually did see it as a kid and didn't know it's signifigance
@@theleonpasta7336 “Every day, a random number between 0 and 65535 is generated by the game. If this number matches the first two bytes of the personality value of any Pokémon in the player's party, then Mirage Island will appear. “ Straight from Bulbapedia
@@Bludgeoned2DEATH2 no need to be a dick, but yes you're right, my fucking bad Mr. Pokemon, I had it confused with the Mew event island, which is impossible to get to without a GameShark or having the event item, Mirage Island is retarded, doesn't even have dick on it, atleast if you used a GameShark and accidentally discovered the Mew island that'd be something, but you essentially just got lucky, like missing a couple tackles in a row, it doesn't make you special, get the master ball from the radio place in Goldenrod in Gen 2 then you can talk shit
The idea that Giovanni is Ash's father is pretty wholesome. I remember some other character being the fan favorite for potentially being Ash's father though.
I believe that Ash's dad was actually introduced in the 1st episode. There's the guy standing near Delia With tears of pride and his eyes. In all honesty I don't think a neighbor would cry tear's of pride for Ash like.. that.
As a kid I remeber a rumor about how I'm the Japanese version ash's dad was a drunk and American media didn't want that so they cut it out of the American. Then hakan decided to appease their western allies would never mention his dad again XD
An interesting addendum to 23:36 is that the room file still exists in NA versions of Emerald (I stumbled across it in a map randomizer) but the game will crash upon trying to start the battle after talking to the hiker.
I did not expect to know as many as I did. I only missed like 5 max. Great video and I'm glad more people are getting to learn about some Pokemon mysteries/facts/whatever else.
I don't know, it's that type of artificial setting that is about trying to have "the most epic finale" by bringing back so many characters while it fails to have a cohesive theme and the characters are just there for their status and not for what they were meant to be.
Team Rainbow Rocket sucked, All the villains are from a timeline where they won but they all just stand in a room waiting to be defeated. We could've jumped into the Distortion World or Cyrus' "World in his vision" to meet Cyrus, We could've went into a flooded Hoenn to meet Archie (but this time the Archie from ORAS since his design in RSE sucks.) But instead we just get them standing in a copy and pasted room. USUM was such a disappointment.
@@piranhalettuce Even with that, what's really the point of mixing all of these different characters. They all had completely contradictory goals. They are just their because of their names not because of a cohesive story with cohesive and coherent themes in which they fit.
Anyone heard of this one: In gen 1, get a level 100 machamp, go to the power plant, use strength and push boulders to the exit at the very end by zapdos. After that when you go out the exit itself, you'll be transported to the unreachable grass area outside the pallet town fence where all 151 pokemon can be encountered. The weird thing is there are no boulders in the power plant though so that part is odd
The idea that Cubone is an abandoned Kangaskhan baby doesn’t make as much sense as the theory that Cubone/Marowak are abandoned Charmanders. The mother Charizard would die and leave the baby Charmander to take the mother’s skull. this theory makes sense because because the body color and tail of Cubone are the same as Charmander. Also, the skull that Cubone has looks like a Charizard head further roving the theory.
The theory of ash still being ten is that the main writer wanted a perfect timeline for kids being that it’s always summer and holidays. This keeps ash at the same age as it’s probably just reapeting the same year over and over but allowing to keep peoples knowledge and what has happened in there life cannon. This keeps ash’s Pokemon knowledge getting better but is still the same old ash.
Pokemon Adventures was so good, legitimately the best manga I've read. I still love the newer arcs as well. Really wish this storyline was the one animated.
As someone who’s had a load of seizures but not due to flashing lights, i rewatched that Pokémon go episode a few month back, and it was like taking acid and tripping balls for 10 seconds and feel like crap after the flashing for me.
Dude it's been so cool to watch your climb since I came in at the Pokemon Academy time (which please bring back) and it is so cool to see all this content coming from the different things you've tried over the years!
i’m an avid reader of the pokemon manga and it’s definitely worth it. i think all the arcs are good, even if some aren’t as Great (coughs swsh xy coughs) but i really like the direction the manga takes the games plot especially early on. it’s not nearly as dark as people make it out to be though but it has some Moments especially in the unova arc
The unova arcs were really good. Kalos arcs were really good too and enjoyable. However I HATED that mf Emerald. They tried to replicate having a manga only character like Yellow and it worked so well for Yellow. She's an iconic character no one will know unless they're read the series. Making Emerald was a huge mistake tho and every chapter with him was unbearable until the better characters showed up. That kids the worst
Personally everything is good until emerald is over and I can’t bear dpp so I skipped Al the way to swsh and it’s… well, let’s just say the game was better (and slept on)
I like that you pointed out the VHS recording of SS Anne has lots of cheesy toy ads, while watching this video it was interrupted by heaps of cheesy ads for Pokemon toys for me
Back when I played the original gold, I caught it dunsparse and trained it. I did this thinking it would evolve into gligar... the body types are remarkably similar as well as the pokedex entries are in numeric order.
about the banned porygon episode, it goes around that the main source of the seizure-inducing flashes were coming from pikachu and not from porygon. but porygon had to be the scapegoat because we can't have the main mascot banned now can we
Thank you for explaining how the mew glitch worked. I’ve caught multiple mews with that glitch (different playthroughs) and I always wondered how it worked
If anyone's curious about the supposed scrapped Gray and Z versions, DidYouKnowGaming recently made a video where they explain the rumors, evidence, and myths surrounding them. I'd recommend giving them a watch.
Honestly, every fan should read the manga, its amazing. Red, Blue and Green Chapter was good, Sun and Moon Chapter was good and Gold, Silver and Crystal Chapter was pretty good as well.
@@Slenderquil I forgot to add it but Yellow Chapter is definitely fantastic. Sword and Shield Chapter is alright but weirdly enough it seems just as rushed as the games.
As Gold & Silver was my first Pokemon game I would say it was actually critical to include Kanto in the game for two reasons. Short-term.. that hooked me to the series. Long-term, 20 years later it's still some sort of precedent and we all yearn for a Paldea & Kalos connection.
With the teraleak, now we know that southern kalos was sacked. There’s so much that could have went into the game, it’s really sad seeing its missing potential.
This is by far your best video wolf, at least for me. Got so much nostalgia and realised how much I'm connected to every aspect of Pokémon. Ofc you explaination skills and humour also made it so fun to watch.
Imposter Professor oak was in the Red, Green and Blue arc of Pokemon Adventures in Adventure 27. He attacked Red but it was revealed that it was just Sabrina's Kadabra disguised as him (because Koga, Lt Surge, and Sabrina were in team rocket) while the real oak was captured to replace Blaine (who was also in TR, but he left).
Really liked this! You made this engaging all the way through, and budgeted your time per section well. The outro was a good word as well. I'd love to see more "culture" ideas like this one!
18:30 this was actually confirmed. In a Japanese pokedex guide made by the pokemon team (no 3rd party us guides here) they grouped and classified Arcanine with the legendary birds and mewtwo. This book was found by DYKG and translated by Nob Ogasawara. The lore was changed after the fact.
We have a similar incident to Ho-oh granting Ash eternal happiness by keeping him on his travels in Yu-Gi-Oh. In the 5D's manga, Yusei Fudo is offered a wish, and manga panels show several choices for what wish he'd want. All of those panels are from different parts of 5D's era of Yugioh, including the anime story, a movie...and Yusei's wish is to continue to Duel with all the friends he made in Neo Domino City, like how Ash wants to be a real master by going to every region.
I think adding Kanto in the gen 2 games at the time made sense as it was meant to be the last pokemon game, but looking back, if Johto was entirely it's own thing, completely independent of Kanto, alot of issues we have with it today would probably not be there (wacky level curves, mostly just Kanto pokemon till postgame) so I would have probably preffered space world's Johto, but we can't go back in time so, ehh😅
I remember the mew below the truck rumour. I got Pokemon Red and my friend got Pokemon Blue for christmas and we tried everything to get mew once we both filled up the rest of the Pokedex. I only really played the first 3 generations of Pokemon (and their remakes) and trying to catch mew was one of the things I wasted the most time on back in the day. RUclips didn't exist so there were no videos available on how to get it.
The whole thing with LT. Surge having fought in the war is that originally pokemon was set on earth and kanto is in japan. LT. Surge would have been an american soldier who fought in the gulf war.
I can confirm that pokemon z was supposed to come out, they even announced it but a lot of people online were bashing the company after the announcement and they ended up not doing it.
Actually, the latest theory is that Missingno.'s Type1 is reading the name of the Trainer class "Bird Keeper". It's known from other glitches that Gen 1's pokémon type data will read a space as the end of the data set, so it's plausible that "Bird Keeper" would only display as "Bird" when treated as a pokémon type.
I’m positive that the only reason that they keep calling Ash “10” is so that he doesn’t have to leave the anime. For example, if Ash aged through, let’s say, 20 generations of Pokémon, he’d be probably around 60 years old. Keeping Ash 10 means that he can remain the series protagonist forever, and that the series can technically continue forever. That’s just my guess but it makes the most sense to me 🤓
It's probably easier for them to market the same character and redesign him every new season than to create a new character every season. Keeping the main protagonist at the age of 10 would also appeal to the target audience they want so it's likely purely a marketing thing. They could just adapt the manga but the original story was darker than what they probably wanted with the show at the time so it's likely that's the reason why it's an original story and they have just stuck with it since. I'm not sure how much darker the manga gets. I've only read the red blue yellow mangas.
On my first ever play through of Red Version on my GameBoy Color, when it first came out.... I raised my Growlithe/Arcanine up to level 100, and gave it all the stat boosters possible (HP Up, Protein, Iron, Carbos, and whatever raised Special). It WAS LEGENDARY. I think I taught it Dig, Mega Beam, Flamethrower, and I think Rest. 😅 It was a tank, with lightning speed, great defense, high attack, and special. Every attack hit hard, even when typing was not in his favor. Opponents could hit him, and leave some serious damage... But then we use Rest, recover HP, and use the PokeFlute to wake up ASAP when needed, but it usually woke up in two turns of choosing attacks.
I remember hearing a “rumor” about being able to travel to the Orange Islands if you go south past Pallet Town and Cinnabar island in Red and Blue, granted this was when the games came out and us little kids coming up with random theories, but still worth a topic to discuss in a future video!

You can also go through jokes in the competitive community from less to more obscure.
@@peterbenoni1470 if you're interested in the history of pokemons competitive scene I reccomef checking out false swipe gaming. He's done a tonne of videos covering the topic
in competitive pokemon lore that one pachirisu is like zeno from dragon ball. he canonically stands above anyone and anything
Pleaaaaase!
I'm surprised you didn't mention that it wasn't Porygon who caused the lights, but Pikachu, so Porygon, 2, and Z are unjustly banned from the show
The coverup of the century! They couldn't have their mascot look bad, so they played it off as Porygon and gave him a bad rap to keep the mouse safe.
I understand you, but it's not unjust. Pikachu had always been there without any problems despite flashing lightning every episode. Once Porygon showed up, problems arose. The association with Porygon showing up is too strong and distinct to relegate the issue to what happened in the narrative.
its like in real life
since pikachu is the big important dude they just blamed someone else to take the fall
Pikachu lives above the law. Somebody had the be the patsy, this time it was the porygon's entire family.
@Weeb_Goblin this sentence is atrocious.
That theory as to why Ash is always 10 is honestly the most realistic one I’ve ever heard. If Ho-Oh can grant eternal happiness, then it’s pretty obvious what happened. It’s not even that deep

But what about everyone else not aging too?
20:00 and now we know legends z-a is in the works
Way back in the day my brother was playing Pokémon soul silver, and he showed me something real strange. He was grinding outside of the sprout tower and he encountered a lv 100 bellsprout. He showed me the encounter and we both witnessed his team get sweeped by it since it was quite early in the game. Sadly we couldn’t take a picture or video because we didn’t have a camera or phone back then since we were just kids. To this day we haven’t seen or heard anyone else encounter something like that, but I swear to you it was real
I feel like I read something like this year's ago on a forum... idk just saying
This sounds very familiar to me
This is SO cool and I wish you and your brother could go into Pokémon forums and important fan pages to share it, leave it to the pros to find it!
I’ve encountered this before!! I showed my big sister and she couldn’t believe it. We still bring it up.
@@DrarayneThelas that’s exciting to hear! I’m so glad I’m not the only one 😭
Pretty sure Ash DID age, and he was CANONICALLY getting a bit too close to adulthood for the company's comfort, so they just said "He's 10 again" and he's been there ever since.
i’m 90% sure that in the japanese version of XY he introduces himself as being 16 and it’s just the dub claiming he’s 10
It was an OVA in which they celebrated his birthday, but in Johto it was reinstated that he is 10 years old.
@M A nah, Ash being Alola champion was great, because it really felt much more deserved, he spent long on alola and connected with the people and region, in the other regions, he i just another trainer going around the region collecting badges, in alola he lived, he got involve d in the region and people and you can even feel it once they chant for him in journeys when he visits alola one time, the region really was ash home and gives him the feeling of "i represent this place"
@@HaxeRain alola isnt ashs home
Is no one else interested in what Ash would be like as an adult? I feel like that would open worlds of narrative material. No? Bumbling child forever, right, that doesn't get old.
I love Iceberg videos so much, there's always something hidden in there that I didn't know about, even for a series i've followed for 80% of my life
I was *just* watching your newest fusion video! Thats a bit random.
22:30 we actually know from interviews that the reason Jigglypuff got into Smash is because they were short on characters soon to release so they introduced Jigglypuff since it was a popular pokemon thar conveniently could reuse a lot of already existing moves, namely Kirby's.
Kirby is a Jigglypuff
My favorite glitch from Gen 1 was encountering Pokemon above Level 100! After talking to the old man that shows how to catch Pokemon in Virdian City, fly down to Cinnabar Island, immediate move right to the edge of the island, surf up and down along the edges. Thanks Wolfey for bringing back the awesome nostalgia and mysteries :D
There was also a rumor about a "pokemon plus and minus" game after XY. Since Scarlet and Violet, there are also new Theories, that the Laser from the Machine in XY made Area Zero in Paldea and the Floette is from there, because it has another type of Flower, than the other pokemons
Congrats on joining Beastcoast Wolfey!
I would've never expected the video I made to be featured in a Pokemon Iceberg Video. Thanks for mentioning me!
22:16 I'm so glad someone big mentioned the source code for Pokémon Yellow that was leaked. I always wanted to share stuff like "The Blaine in the anime was different because he was a different character removed very late in development" or "Mewtwo might have initially come from one of the fossils where the old man who lost his fake teeth is". Maybe more people will look it up now.
The anime Gym leader's english name was Coleman btw. Blaine's sprite was that of the Silph Chief.
Why would Mewtwo come from fuchsia?
@@bananaforscale1283 A line of code was found that would display Mewtwo's incomplete Dex entry when talking to one of the fossils in that house. Considering what was going on in Mt Moon, maybe fossils in general were supposed to play a much bigger role in the story.
I remember feeding unlimited rare candy to my missing no and getting a level 1 kangaskhan. Only knew dizzy punch. Only level 1 pokemon at the time. After achieving I felt I achieved everything. Then I tried the Abra mew glitch. Been 10 years since and i stand by poke blue as the best game ever
The truck/mew rumour also had one extra step in another rumour. you were supposed to use strength in the truck to move it.
Exactly! That moves the truck and he’s right there. I caught him and used him from then on.
About gen 2 having Kanto in it: The original version of the game was having trouble fitting onto a single cartridge before Satoru Iwata stepped in with a compression tool so good it practically doubled the size of the game. Because of this, it was decided to add Kanto into the game with the additional space
"A compression tool so good"
You mean his brain?
@@kyx5631 No it was a compression program
Well Kanto was the size of a town in the Spaceworld 97 demo.
you mean halved?
Apparently the director the anime said in an interview Ash never aging represents the feeling of summer vacation. You never want it to end.

its been a while since scarlet and violet came out, and since the kalos starters are gonna be transferable, and how the guy who created the ultimate weapon in kalos was named "AZ" (which is the same initials as "area zero"), AND how theres an area you cant reach which is blacked out in the map (the only blacked out area in the entire map)
That’s actually a good theory
And then the DLC is 2 random islands. Great…
I feel like Scarlet and Violet is the perfect opportunity to fill the gap with Kalos, since the Iberian Peninsula borders France. It would be really cool if the DLC includes Kalos itself, or maybe some former colonies.

Did anyone else notice in the part about Wobbuffet, there is a clip where a Ditto transforms into Wobbuffet, Ditto's facial Features are over the face of the Wobbuffet Tail, not the main blue-body face, giving evidence that the Tail is the main face of the Pokémon! 😁
29:17 nope, both faces are ditto faces. This could mean that it’s 2 separate Pokémon though, but who knows.
It's probably just a joke about how wobbuffet has 2 faces
It still has a tail on both, meaning that the tail is a real face
Ditto is a pokemon like any other and could mistake fake faces too. It's a mimick/copy pokemon, not "knowing the anatomy" pokemon. I don't think it's too wise to depend on ditto for confirmations even though that's pretty much the only thing we can use for that.
@@MusicComet Still, it could very easily be a hint, and its a good theory
One of the theories I like is that The War Surge mentions was between Johto and Kanto, which is why there are so few ways to get between the two regions, and why there's almost no knowledge of Johto Pokémon before GSC.
18:42 oh boy do i have news for you
What do you mean?
@@saaketh83pokémon legends z-a was announced
Arcanine is also called a legendary in its original Tgc card. It was in the first booster pack I ever opened.
I can’t tell you how much joy I get whenever you show that old green guidebook. Incredible nostalgia
A note on the pokemon war:
There are very few middle aged men in kanto in the original games. There are old men, and boys, The young men are seen as part of team rocket and any men Surge's age are all in biker gangs which roam from celedon to fuschia (possibly a lot of them are veterans). Lance seems quite young to be the strongest trainer in all of kanto, and why is Prof. Oak in charge of the pokemon league? (the dude's like 75)
Additionally, the architecture and culture in Kanto is that of the postwar economic boom the united states had in the 1950s. The mainland of kanto is dominated by the saffron metropolitan area and its suburbs. Much like Earthbound, this game was influenced by post WW2 westernization and chose to make that its setting.
Thirdly, why was mewtwo being created? what was the purpose of expending exorbitant amounts of funding and time into crafting a genetically modified mentally unstable killing machine? To end the war. The last group of men you meet in gen 1 is the scientists which work at silph co. or worked at the pokemon mansion.
Just some interesting details.
true!!! you also don't have a father in kanto :(( (although tbf the only time you have a father is in hoenn)
@@juliastrong6748yeah, and when you do have a father he holds an important role like a gym leader, which I do not think is a coincidence

I got lucky and reached Mirage Island the first time I was exploring the area as a kid. Had no idea what it was or why only Wynaut’s appeared. Never saw it again until learning how rare it actually was lmao.
Yea, you're lying unless you had a game shark, cuz you could only ever go to Mirage Island with the event ticket in Emerald and I think Fire Red/Leaf Green, though you probably could have discovered it by cheating the event ticket in or using a walk through barriers code to go visit it, so maybe just maybe you actually did see it as a kid and didn't know it's signifigance

I did not expect to know as many as I did. I only missed like 5 max. Great video and I'm glad more people are getting to learn about some Pokemon mysteries/facts/whatever else.
I just wanna say team rainbow rocket is by far the coolest storyline idea ever introduced in pkmn and deserves the movie treatment
I don't know, it's that type of artificial setting that is about trying to have "the most epic finale" by bringing back so many characters while it fails to have a cohesive theme and the characters are just there for their status and not for what they were meant to be.
@@didack1419 which is why a 2 hour movie would be the perfect format to give everyone time to flesh em out

Anyone heard of this one:
In gen 1, get a level 100 machamp, go to the power plant, use strength and push boulders to the exit at the very end by zapdos. After that when you go out the exit itself, you'll be transported to the unreachable grass area outside the pallet town fence where all 151 pokemon can be encountered. The weird thing is there are no boulders in the power plant though so that part is odd
Hmmmm wow that's fascinating! I certainly never found that secret in the games!
The idea that Cubone is an abandoned Kangaskhan baby doesn’t make as much sense as the theory that Cubone/Marowak are abandoned Charmanders. The mother Charizard would die and leave the baby Charmander to take the mother’s skull. this theory makes sense because because the body color and tail of Cubone are the same as Charmander. Also, the skull that Cubone has looks like a Charizard head further roving the theory.
The theory of ash still being ten is that the main writer wanted a perfect timeline for kids being that it’s always summer and holidays. This keeps ash at the same age as it’s probably just reapeting the same year over and over but allowing to keep peoples knowledge and what has happened in there life cannon. This keeps ash’s Pokemon knowledge getting better but is still the same old ash.
I thought that the chief writer wanted Ash to keep engaging along with the audience but the bosses rejected that.
same young ash
As someone who's recently been getting into iceberg videos AND love watching Wolfey, this was an amazing video
Wolfey: "Here are little known trivias about Pokemo-"
Pokemon veterans : "*Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch, I was there when it was written.*"
Pokemon Adventures was so good, legitimately the best manga I've read. I still love the newer arcs as well. Really wish this storyline was the one animated.
As someone who’s had a load of seizures but not due to flashing lights, i rewatched that Pokémon go episode a few month back, and it was like taking acid and tripping balls for 10 seconds and feel like crap after the flashing for me.
Always love seeing a Wolfe video, keep up the good work!
Dude it's been so cool to watch your climb since I came in at the Pokemon Academy time (which please bring back) and it is so cool to see all this content coming from the different things you've tried over the years!
i’m an avid reader of the pokemon manga and it’s definitely worth it. i think all the arcs are good, even if some aren’t as Great (coughs swsh xy coughs) but i really like the direction the manga takes the games plot especially early on. it’s not nearly as dark as people make it out to be though but it has some Moments especially in the unova arc
The unova arcs were really good. Kalos arcs were really good too and enjoyable. However I HATED that mf Emerald. They tried to replicate having a manga only character like Yellow and it worked so well for Yellow. She's an iconic character no one will know unless they're read the series. Making Emerald was a huge mistake tho and every chapter with him was unbearable until the better characters showed up. That kids the worst
Zinnia just straight up gets stabbed and then Hyper-Beamed
That alone was enough to convince my friends to read it lmao
Why u don't like xy?
Personally everything is good until emerald is over and I can’t bear dpp so I skipped Al the way to swsh and it’s… well, let’s just say the game was better (and slept on)
Watching this in 2024 after the Pokémon Legends ZA announcement is somehow kinda satisfying…😌
I like that you pointed out the VHS recording of SS Anne has lots of cheesy toy ads, while watching this video it was interrupted by heaps of cheesy ads for Pokemon toys for me
Back when I played the original gold, I caught it dunsparse and trained it. I did this thinking it would evolve into gligar... the body types are remarkably similar as well as the pokedex entries are in numeric order.
Thanks for putting so much effort into researching, editing, recording etc. for your videos Wolfey; it really means a lot to me and all your fans!
about the banned porygon episode, it goes around that the main source of the seizure-inducing flashes were coming from pikachu and not from porygon.
but porygon had to be the scapegoat because we can't have the main mascot banned now can we
Thank you for explaining how the mew glitch worked. I’ve caught multiple mews with that glitch (different playthroughs) and I always wondered how it worked
23:20 I encountered this without ever hearing anything about it. I turned off the game and cried
If anyone's curious about the supposed scrapped Gray and Z versions, DidYouKnowGaming recently made a video where they explain the rumors, evidence, and myths surrounding them. I'd recommend giving them a watch.
Honestly, every fan should read the manga, its amazing. Red, Blue and Green Chapter was good, Sun and Moon Chapter was good and Gold, Silver and Crystal Chapter was pretty good as well.
I remember reading the yellow manga and enjoying it too. The manga is a wild place
@@Slenderquil I forgot to add it but Yellow Chapter is definitely fantastic. Sword and Shield Chapter is alright but weirdly enough it seems just as rushed as the games.
Amazingly edgy
every section of the manga from red and blue to heartgold and soul silver was really good
first three gens are peak but the rest is good as well
As Gold & Silver was my first Pokemon game I would say it was actually critical to include Kanto in the game for two reasons. Short-term.. that hooked me to the series. Long-term, 20 years later it's still some sort of precedent and we all yearn for a Paldea & Kalos connection.
True that! Every gen, we hope there's some way to get back to the previous gen(s) and experience the "backward" playthrough with higher-level pokemon.
With the teraleak, now we know that southern kalos was sacked. There’s so much that could have went into the game, it’s really sad seeing its missing potential.
I want Clefairy to become a big mascot of Pokémon to be honest. It's so cute!
This is by far your best video wolf, at least for me. Got so much nostalgia and realised how much I'm connected to every aspect of Pokémon. Ofc you explaination skills and humour also made it so fun to watch.
What a well done and informative video. Been on my recommended for days and glad I clicked. Thank you Wolfey and incredible editor
Another reason as to why Kalos feels so under-explored is that AZ's flotette is still yet to be released.
Imposter Professor oak was in the Red, Green and Blue arc of Pokemon Adventures in Adventure 27. He attacked Red but it was revealed that it was just Sabrina's Kadabra disguised as him (because Koga, Lt Surge, and Sabrina were in team rocket) while the real oak was captured to replace Blaine (who was also in TR, but he left).
Ash won a championship, Brock got a girlfriend and Misty got a new bike.
Pokemon's over.
Love these videos
I can see you make a competitive Pokemon iceberg
Really liked this! You made this engaging all the way through, and budgeted your time per section well. The outro was a good word as well. I'd love to see more "culture" ideas like this one!
Brutal work of editing, nice job Wolfey! :D
18:30 this was actually confirmed. In a Japanese pokedex guide made by the pokemon team (no 3rd party us guides here) they grouped and classified Arcanine with the legendary birds and mewtwo. This book was found by DYKG and translated by Nob Ogasawara.
The lore was changed after the fact.
I waited for that rocket to launch for a year back in the days, that's the longest I've ever waited for a flight
We have a similar incident to Ho-oh granting Ash eternal happiness by keeping him on his travels in Yu-Gi-Oh. In the 5D's manga, Yusei Fudo is offered a wish, and manga panels show several choices for what wish he'd want. All of those panels are from different parts of 5D's era of Yugioh, including the anime story, a movie...and Yusei's wish is to continue to Duel with all the friends he made in Neo Domino City, like how Ash wants to be a real master by going to every region.
I think adding Kanto in the gen 2 games at the time made sense as it was meant to be the last pokemon game, but looking back, if Johto was entirely it's own thing, completely independent of Kanto, alot of issues we have with it today would probably not be there (wacky level curves, mostly just Kanto pokemon till postgame) so I would have probably preffered space world's Johto, but we can't go back in time so, ehh😅
I remember the mew below the truck rumour. I got Pokemon Red and my friend got Pokemon Blue for christmas and we tried everything to get mew once we both filled up the rest of the Pokedex. I only really played the first 3 generations of Pokemon (and their remakes) and trying to catch mew was one of the things I wasted the most time on back in the day. RUclips didn't exist so there were no videos available on how to get it.
so Goh getting Mew is the anime equivlant of "getting mew under the truck."
I remember getting mew with my GameShark haha
The way Ho-Oh grants eternal happiness is by taking you to an afterlife, where something like not aging is possible.
19:10 I think we know the reason to this now
The thing about Wobbufett absolutely blew my mind! I began questioning my life choices after that one. Lmao
Hey Wolfe, hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well! 😊
god I love pokemon so much

The whole thing with LT. Surge having fought in the war is that originally pokemon was set on earth and kanto is in japan. LT. Surge would have been an american soldier who fought in the gulf war.
I can confirm that pokemon z was supposed to come out, they even announced it but a lot of people online were bashing the company after the announcement and they ended up not doing it.

Missing No. is Bird/Normal, an early in development version of the flying type
Actually, the latest theory is that Missingno.'s Type1 is reading the name of the Trainer class "Bird Keeper". It's known from other glitches that Gen 1's pokémon type data will read a space as the end of the data set, so it's plausible that "Bird Keeper" would only display as "Bird" when treated as a pokémon type.
@@CosmicPlatonix this is incorrect, Bird is a normally coded (if unfinished and unused) type
The theory about the ho-oh feather is the first time I’ve heard it and it makes them most sense.
I’m positive that the only reason that they keep calling Ash “10” is so that he doesn’t have to leave the anime. For example, if Ash aged through, let’s say, 20 generations of Pokémon, he’d be probably around 60 years old. Keeping Ash 10 means that he can remain the series protagonist forever, and that the series can technically continue forever.
That’s just my guess but it makes the most sense to me 🤓
It's like how the Simpsons never age despite having multiple holiday specials
It's probably easier for them to market the same character and redesign him every new season than to create a new character every season. Keeping the main protagonist at the age of 10 would also appeal to the target audience they want so it's likely purely a marketing thing.
They could just adapt the manga but the original story was darker than what they probably wanted with the show at the time so it's likely that's the reason why it's an original story and they have just stuck with it since. I'm not sure how much darker the manga gets. I've only read the red blue yellow mangas.
On my first ever play through of Red Version on my GameBoy Color, when it first came out.... I raised my Growlithe/Arcanine up to level 100, and gave it all the stat boosters possible (HP Up, Protein, Iron, Carbos, and whatever raised Special). It WAS LEGENDARY. I think I taught it Dig, Mega Beam, Flamethrower, and I think Rest. 😅 It was a tank, with lightning speed, great defense, high attack, and special. Every attack hit hard, even when typing was not in his favor. Opponents could hit him, and leave some serious damage... But then we use Rest, recover HP, and use the PokeFlute to wake up ASAP when needed, but it usually woke up in two turns of choosing attacks.
Im glad Pokémon Z-A is coming out. Finally.
I remember hearing a “rumor” about being able to travel to the Orange Islands if you go south past Pallet Town and Cinnabar island in Red and Blue, granted this was when the games came out and us little kids coming up with random theories, but still worth a topic to discuss in a future video!
