The apprentice npc in the battle tower felt like a fever dream since my battery ran dry and I couldn’t find evidence of it anywhere online for what felt like forever
For the "Where do you come from? Yes/No" NPC, it's a very random reference to an apartment in Shimokitazawa named "High Town", which is the apartment suite where GameFreak employees stay overnight if they work too late. "High" is how you say "Yes" in Japanese, so they made this a joke, "Yes Town (High Town)? I never heard a place like that", but apparently the GameFreak devs are very familiar with that place called "High Town". This joke in the Hoenn games was confirmed by the GameFreak devs in the Game Freak 30th anniversary stream, if anyone was wondering where this explanation came from.
The butler probably appears like how in rich people’s homes back in the day they had servants halls where the servant would walk thru hidden hallways so they aren’t seen by guests
cool video! had no idea about the lilycove NPCs. They really placed some intricate importance on record mixing back in these games, makes it all feel so alive
Oh hi there! I'm very sorry for the extremely similar video title (even thumbnail, arguably) - I promise I had no idea about your video on the subject before a couple of people pointed it out in the comments of my video. I've been meaning to check out your video ever since people brought it to my attention - I've just been very busy and easily distracted. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! That's a very nice point you make about these NPCs; there really is something a bit magical, for lack of a better word, about having NPCs hop from game to game. I've actually been thinking about record mixing cuz of making this video, and it really does do a lot of stuff in gen 3.
Another cool thing about the Battle Tower: If you mix records with another player, they can appear as a possible Multi Battle partner in the Battle Tower. And apparently (although I've never seen this myself), they can even appear as an opponent in the Battle Tower at the exact streak point they were defeated.
I have been playing RSE to some degree since they came out roughly 20 years ago. I NEVER knew about the Rock Smash NPC that you only see if you beat Wattson before getting HM06. I always got the HM first, so I learned something today. Good video.
I've been playing RSE for equally as long, and I actually didn't know about that guy, myself, until a couple of years ago - I just so happened to forget to grab the Rock Smash HM one playthrough.
I remember this one weird NPC from Black & White. It was a girl living in a mobile home in the forest. She never talks to you, and I don’t think her house has any items. No idea what her deal is, but it always freaked me out as a kid.
I think you might be referring to the Zoroark event those games have! If you bring at least one member of the legendary beasts from a certain event (the one where they were all shiny and had a unique move or two), the woman turns out to be a Zoroark in disguise and attacks you. That sounds slightly unhinged when I type it out, lol.
@@yukihoshikawa OMG THAT'S RIGHT! THERE WAS EVEN A MOVIE REFERENCING THAT! Jeez, that's insane! The Shiny Raikou, Entei, and Suicune were given out as an event, so does that mean this Zoroark is impossible to obtain now?
@@crumpscrumbs Theoretically, if someone still has the event Pokemon in one of the gen 5 games, they could trade it to a file that hasn't done the Zoroark event yet, and then have it trigger. But, I imagine most instances of that happening would involve non-legitimate event Pokemon, which... that's up to each person to determine if that counts or not. Cuz there's nothing stopping someone from hacking in the event Pokemon and triggering the event that way.
@@crumpscrumbsyeah there is no legit way to get them now unless you wanna trade. Technically you can get some mistery gifts with wiimmfi or inject the event card via pksm/pkhex but it's up to you if you consider them legit or not.
My favourite thing about the Trader is that he allows access to otherwise unobtainable items. The Red Tent and Blue Tent for example are exclusive to Ruby and Sapphire respectively (in Emerald you get to choose one). But the most interesting case is the Regi dolls. They are exclusive to a Japanese e-Reader card. It can only be scanned to Japanese RS, which cannot mix records with English games. However, JP RS can mix with JP Emerald, which can mix records with EN Emerald. So to move a Regi doll to EN RS, you need to send it JP RS -> JP Emerald -> EN Emerald -> EN RS. And keep in mind that you can only trade one item per record mix, so to send all 3 dolls you would need to mix records at least 3 times per arrow (assuming both games have the Trader).
I think I'd be alerting the authorities if some stranger was recording the number of times I went into a hot spring! I'll admit that I never knew about the apprentices, or that there were multi-battle options in Gen 3 at all! I think that the apprentices are a fun idea though, and mean that you're doing something with your champion status.
That's a good point that you bring up, about your Champion status meaning something! I mentioned it to another commenter, but I think it'd be neat if some ROM hack expanded upon the idea of the apprentice, especially since... I don't think they added the Battle Tower in the second wave of Scarlet/Violet DLC, although I'm not sure since, admittedly, I haven't played it yet.
When I played Emerald as a kid I was so excited to see the effects of record mixing, like my bard had an additional word changed, but we would also find each other in the Battle Frontier as trainers to play with or against, and we would find our secret bases everywhere too! It was incredible how many secrets it held. I guess my favourite thing about this is there was more than just trading to linking in this game. It actually changed the game and made it more exciting to play.
I usually don't check my trainer ID number, so whenever I get to Mauville's Pokemon Center, it's a little surprise who I get. Definitely a neat part of any R/S/E run for me, seeing which guy I get, alongside checking the trendy phrase the moment I reach Dewford.
The fact that that's the case is part of what makes these NPCs cool to me. There's something neat about the idea of you having one NPC in your game, but your friend has another.
me and my cousin had the hipster and bard, we had so much fun mixing records and making the bard say different words, and we mixed records so much that eventually the hipster said he ran out of new words to tell me. also luxury balls were my favourite ball and selphy was the only way to get them in FRLG so I was constantly showing her pokemon, i almost had a full living dex because of her
Man, really just goes to show how much Game Freak used to care that there was all this stuff just to make the world feel a bit more alive. These days you can't even go in houses 😮💨
That's understandable, considering the Tutor doesn't appear if you don't have Mew in your party... Y'know, a mythical Pokémon, that you can't normally obtain in XD, so you need to trade it over after getting it from an event.
"My face is reflected in the water. It's a shining grin full of hope... Or maybe it's a look of somber silence struggling with fear... What do you see in your face?" This is not from some book or horror game. It is from some kid NPC in Petalburg. I am pretty sure he is in all the Hoenn games. My parents looked at me confused when I told them the quote was from a Pokémon game.
I was hoping to figure out what "Where are you from? Yes or No" meant but instead he's just apparently weird.. Edit: Actually I looked into it and apparently it's a joke among GameFreak, while working on Red and Green many staff stayed in an apartment building that essentially translated to "Yes Town" which... is.. interesting..
It's probably what the other reply said - it being similar to a video by Droomish - as this isn't a reupload. An unfortunate coincidence on my end, but it wasn't anything intentional.
9:43 The way I lost many times to my own apprentices. Oh, also! When you’re finished with guiding on apprentice you can talk to the wall one, two or three steps to the left of the exit to get a head starting the next one. At least that’s how I remember it.
That tutor is so ridiculous. Between when I recorded the script for this video (like 5 days ago) and now, me and another person figured out all of the fine details of how he works, and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say he's one of the most complicated NPCs in the 3rd generation games, if not THE most complicated.
Yep! To be fair, I did say R/S/E was "one of" the first instances of a Pokemon's size being a mechanic - the gen 2 version of this was what I was thinking of when I said that.
this video is way too underrated considering you mentioned npcs and mechanics which were literally never mentioned documented before, even in bulbapedia
Ive only played these games recently. I thought it was a black butler reference. As the "butler" comes out of no where and the lady could be the one who is *friends* with the kid who made a deal with a devil.
@@yukihoshikawa I know, but I was playing a modified gba version for emulator only, so I thought it was just a reference they added in for fun. I didn't know it was part of the original games as my aunt wouldn't let me play E-rated games saying they are "baby games and you're not a baby." Thus I was never allowed to play such games. I was forced to play games like Shadow the Hedgehog and other games that had save boxes or where you had to finish an area to be able to save. This only caused problems as my aunt wasn't patient and would tell me to turn off my game system and come make lunch/dinner making me loss my progress in the game and never being able to do a full playthrough of them.
I’m surprised how much I learnt from this video considering I’ve been playing these games for over 2 decades and I’ve watched countless RUclips videos on this kind of did you know topics. I’ve never seen your videos before but I’m impressed that you don’t use big text racing across the screen in all caps with quick cuts to a meme or face cam. I’ve had to unsubscribe from so many channels for doing that because in there own words “it appeals to the zoomers” and they killed there original identity.
I know what you mean with the text - I'm not the biggest fan of that stuff either, personally. I've definitely experimented with having text pop up in my videos before, but from my experience, I don't think it really makes a difference.
I went and did a quick search to see if it was possible that the Sebastien Butler appearing out of nowhere could be a reference to the manga/anime Black Butler, however there is a three-year gap that makes this impossible. Still, that's really strange
I think those NPCs use words/phrases from the easy chat system, just like trainers in the Battle Frontier, right? I know in the Battle Frontier, at least, there are definitely a few of them that say some pretty weird stuff!
8:53 I guess Butler and Lady are sovereign citizens and they're not the corporation all caps name It's probably not the case but I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to put sovereign citizens in the Pokemon game
It did! It was bugged in like 3 different ways (e.g. Magikarp in the Lake of Rage were meant to be bigger than usual, but instead Magikarp almost everywhere else are bigger). But the mechanic did function! In HGSS, it works in the same way as in Gen 3.
I'm not crying plagiarism here, but the presentation and title of this video is maybe a bit too close to Droomish's for comfort. Trying to be constructive here, I promise.
I promise any similarities are unintentional and purely coincidental. I have watched a video by Droomish, but only once; that's not enough exposure for me to deliberately rip someone off. I know you said "I'm not crying plagiarism here", but just to be clear: I'm very much against plagiarism - I've even spoken out against it in prior videos. I'm sorry that this video left that impression on you.
I just took a look at Droomish's channel, and I see the video you're talking about. I never saw that video or its title - I saw one about the Battle Palace, and that's it. Still, that's an unfortunate coincidence.
The title is soooo similar, it may be a case of subconscious appropriation. It's not like you necessarily did anything wrong but a good idea to sometimes do a quick search of new ideas to see what's already out there and maybe even get inspiration and give a shout-out to avoid the appearance of plagiarism, even unintentional! Looks like you both decided to feature different NPCs which is just a testament to how deep the gen 3 world goes. :)
The fact that I could only interact with The Hipster once threw me off when his word was “BANG”, then told me to ask my parents about it
LMAOOOOOO, yeah, that'd do it.
How much of the game's content depended on mixing records makes me wonder how huge discussion would've been if RSE were the first to support Wi-fi.
Gosh, yeah, that would've been interesting! There's a lot of funny stuff with mixing records in those games.
ORAS record mixing was pretty cool.
Sister eats sweets, ravenous and drooling!
That’s what my bard sang lol
LOL! I think that's what he says in Ruby and Sapphire? I'm pretty sure he says something different in R/S compared to E, but I forget what.
The apprentice npc in the battle tower felt like a fever dream since my battery ran dry and I couldn’t find evidence of it anywhere online for what felt like forever
Oh my god, I can imagine! I'm glad you finally found evidence of it!

Ooh, that's a neat possibility!
Or he uses an Abra with teleport.
I’m a bit of a strange and unique NPC myself
I got the bard on my first play through in 2003. I found it so funny that I had to show my grandma.
Aww, that sounds like such a sweet memory!
i did the same, but showed it to my mom ;D
That's actually the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time, thanks for that homie

I wouldn't worry too much about it. this is a soulful video and I can feel your passion! nobody owns the information

And apparently (although I've never seen this myself), they can even appear as an opponent in the Battle Tower at the exact streak point they were defeated.
Oh, that's neat as hell! Now I'm really curious if the second part's true or not - I'm gonna have to look into that, lol
Sort of like Blue in the first generation!

Having someone tell you EXACTLY how many times you've been in a hot spring in your life is a bit...unsettling, isn't it.
Right?! I didn't really think about it until after another commenter pointed it out, but... that's a bit creepy.

the butlers name is Sebastian. He's one hell of a butler. Black Butler came out after, but I couldn't help connect it
Those Emerald NPC's were so neat! Great vid!
Thank you; glad to hear you enjoyed!

I actually tried to sabotage the Apprentice in order to have easier battles on the Tower.
Goid times!
LOL, I honestly never thought of that; that's clever!
Ah yes the bard I remember his madness
The Bard is so good; I love him.
The very first time the size of a pokemon mattered, was in lake of rage with Magikarp in gen II. I remember fishing so many of them
Yep! That's what I was referring to when I said the guys in Sootopolis were one of the first examples of that.
When I played Emerald as a kid I was so excited to see the effects of record mixing, like my bard had an additional word changed, but we would also find each other in the Battle Frontier as trainers to play with or against, and we would find our secret bases everywhere too!

It actually changed the game and made it more exciting to play.
Yeah, it really was a neat feature!
I think I have only seen the Bard and Giddy. I had no idea there was so much diversity with that npc! I love him!

Yuki, unable to find someone who looked into the Mew tutor:
"Fine, I'll do it myself"
shoutout droomish's video on this exact topic too!
I actually didn't know that video was a thing until after I uploaded this video - I should check out Droomish's vid when I have a chance!
both your vids are rly good and go a different direction with it!!
yoooooo the Apprentice is a cool-ass concept!!!
I know, right?! If the Battle Tower still existed, that'd be a neat concept to expand upon. Maybe a ROM hack could do something with that some day.
I've never even heard of most of these wow and I talked to everyone and played these games multiple times
The fact that that's the case is part of what makes these NPCs cool to me. There's something neat about the idea of you having one NPC in your game, but your friend has another.
Sebastian, the butler who shows up instantly is a reference to Black Butler. Sebastian is a demon and a butler who always shows up when Ciel says so
I've seen a couple of people mention this, but then they say Black Butler came out after FR/LG
It could just refer to the common bourgeois trope of the servant being invisible until called upon. At least, that's how i interpreted it as a kid.
8:15 oh i loved Selphy :D she was my biggest motivation to fill up my Pokédex lol
Oh wow, that's neat! I never really thought of it, but I suppose an NPC like her could have that effect.
I didnt even know the Mew Tutor was a thing since Ive never entered with a Mew
Understandably so, since there's very little reason to bring a Mew in there.
4:10 The berries confuse the Pokémon depending on their nature.
me and my cousin had the hipster and bard, we had so much fun mixing records and making the bard say different words, and we mixed records so much that eventually the hipster said he ran out of new words to tell me.
also luxury balls were my favourite ball and selphy was the only way to get them in FRLG so I was constantly showing her pokemon, i almost had a full living dex because of her
Oh dang, I guess I didn't realize the bit about the Luxury Ball! Come to think of it, it used to be pretty tricky to get duplicates of them.
Great video

I had no idea about mew tutor in xd

I'm sorry that this video left that impression on you.
I just took a look at Droomish's channel, and I see the video you're talking about. I never saw that video or its title - I saw one about the Battle Palace, and that's it.
Still, that's an unfortunate coincidence.
The title is soooo similar, it may be a case of subconscious appropriation. It's not like you necessarily did anything wrong but a good idea to sometimes do a quick search of new ideas to see what's already out there and maybe even get inspiration and give a shout-out to avoid the appearance of plagiarism, even unintentional! Looks like you both decided to feature different NPCs which is just a testament to how deep the gen 3 world goes. :)
@@Friedbread28 Thanks for the suggestion! And hearing about how he covers different NPCs actually makes me really wanna watch Droomish's video now!
@@yukihoshikawa I'd call it a 1 or 2 on the Somerton Scale.

the thumbnail npc (Where are you from?) is probably the start of "Y E S" jokes
