Knowing "pika pi" means "Satoshi" makes that scene in the first movie where Ash turns to stone and Pikachu's shaking him saying "pika pi, pika pi" hurt ALL THE MORE 😭
The fact that I could recall that scene from simply reading the comment despite having watched the move ONCE over 15 years ago is a testament to both the movie's quality and Ohtani's shockingly(pun intended) great acting.
27:01 I always enjoy this fact. This happened because pikachu was a rare spawn in the first forest (the forest with all the bug catchers) and is probably the only interesting catch aside from a bunch of bugs, and bugs were especially terrible in Gen 1. Pikachu wouldn't do well against the rock gym, but was still such an interesting looking pokemon, and since many players would catch it in the beginning it was a very popular one that many people would talk about as something in common. If the developers chose not to put pikachu in the first forest, then players would not have talked about pikachu that much as an early pokemon they had in common, and the anime could've been completely different.
It's better than that, because the reason why the developer put Pikachu in Viridian Forest was because he liked Pikachu and didn't want him to become popular, so he purposefully made Pikachu hard to find.
Wouldn't do well? Nah, it wouldn't do SH*T! Charmander can very effectively Ember down Brock's Geodude and than use Growl during Onix's Bide turns and Ember immediately after. Pikachu even being slightly overleveled simply refuses to last in this battle. Even Geodude is a problem for Pika.
It's always funny hearing stories about how companies think their games are going to fail and then end up becoming the 2nd best selling video game franchise of all time
They didn’t think it would fail. They thought they were capitalising on the very popular previous games, and wanted to make it as best they could. They’re actually correct in that Pokémon was as popular when gold and silver came out the series was as popular as it would ever be. Generation one is still the best selling generation and generation two is the second best.
I agree, I had a similar mindset at the time, and thought it felt very natural and intuitive just to tap the touch screen to perform all kinds of actions in Diamond and Pearl. Not to mention, having a ton of fun with the digging and excavating mechanic of all of those stones and fossils in the underground, throughout The Sinnoh Region.
Personally I never really liked it. No matter how intuitive and large they make the buttons on the lower screen you will always need to look back and fourth between two screens, because you can't feel the buttons anymore and they can change locations to anywhere. Plus pushing buttons is inherently fun! It's fun to push buttons even if theyre not connected to actions in a game, removing that makes things less manually satisfying
@@jek__ even before the touchscreen, I would memorize the order of my moves so I could press the buttons faster than I could read the moves. I also developed that muscle memory with the touchscreen, which btw, you didn't need to use, you could still use the buttons. The only control change that irked me was the removal of L=A, which I believe they brought back.
Sadly they've ruined an entire generation from being properly emulated just for this ultimately stupid gimmick. If it was anything but we would still have it today.
The Pokemon-Formula needs to be Shaken up. A lot. Starting at the Start: What about a Battle-Cafe or Fight-Restaurant sponsoring you?! Youre just one of many, but of course, as a player, your way better and you win, so the Owner says: „Oh, i’ve seen you have remarkable talent. You may go and enjoy your now-earned free Coffee, but consider that you can earn even more if you work for us. How about you travel the world and spread the word about our wonderful Cafe? We give you our weakest Rent-Pokemon, send you off with a bit of money!" What about your Parents sponsoring you? Stop with the Small Village, i say. I wanna be a Make-a-Wish-Foundation-Member who is faced with the Impossible: A Child that has Cancer. A Child that has Cancer and 1 Wish. The Wish to see his Idol: The Pride of his Homeland: The Champion of the Region! But... but the Champ is gone! He has vanished!
Gen IV is still my favorite, particularly because of the touchscreen functionality. I really loved being able to monitor my daycare pokemon and know as soon as egg was laid so I could immediately fly back over there. I really miss that function, honestly.
I miss the watch. So many useful apps, even if many sucked. The daycare app, marking app (I used it to mark which honey trees I put honey on), the type matchup app, the friendship checker, and more...
HAHAHAHA!!! The dude feeding his face with fist-fulls of donut, while he was explaining the intricacies of translating as an art was hilarious. I don't even know what to call that type of humor, but if I had to label, it was the best, "subtle, left field" humor I've ever seen. Well played
I love the idea of Masuda seeing someone use a touch screen with a stylus, thinking it was lame, then adjusting the features in DPP so you can use them with your finger
I was ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with voltorb flip. I would play it for hours at a time. I don't know why, I'm terrible at number games like sudoku, but I loved it.
Bats and foxes are my favourite animals so seeing the baby Zubat and the baby Vulpix in succession actually made me tear up a little bit. And then a kitten!!!! Oh, how wonderful.
Another interesting fact about Pikachurin. Pikachu had made a cameo in the live action/animated comedy, Osmosis Jones. The movie is about a white blood cell "Ozzy" and cold pill, "Drix" saving the host., Frank from a virus. With the movie being about the functions inside a person's body, Pikachu actually made the cameo BEFORE Pikachurin's discovery
4:26 Wow, its almost as if pushing back a title's release to make sure the game is _finished_ is a good idea. Pokemon games' sales were declining, and there's a reason behind why DPP broke that trend.
Ah yes, the Azure Flute was too complicated. Pokemon players would be far far too stupid to understand how to select an item and use it. *sigh*, this is why we've been getting the same "Baby's first RPG" for 20 years.
Can you imagine having a game where the catch phrase is “gotta catch em all” and then not releasing the Azure flute allowing players to catch one of the strongest Pokémon in the game and the only way to legitimately catch them all?
Honestly half my beef with the modern games is this exactly. Making a pretty big portion of the pokedex tiring, unlikely, or even impossible, to catch is such a dumb move. I'm still locked out of a lot of pokemon in my copy of Black 2 because they rely on internet services that have been discontinued years ago. And good luck if you have a pokemon that evolves through trading. The other half is just graphics. I might just be a boomer, but the 3D visuals just *really* don't do it for me.
@1:28 American, but my sister and I clean our games regularly and neither of us like having to "touch" them unless we needed to. We knew they were expensive and didn't play rough. 100% worth it. We're proud of our collection, especially that everything works.
I am from a German speaking country, thus grew up with the German versions of the first gen games. However never in my life have I heard of those rumors of a fourth Abra line evolution called Bin. Not even those first few slowly appearing cheats and walkthrough sites that rather spread stupid rumours than actual cheats and walkthroughs had Bin mentioned anywhere.

42:14 amazing how those playground rumours made their way all the way to Brazil, I remember hearing about the misterious "pikablue" in school being amazed at it
I find the beta designs for Gen 2's legendary dogs really interesting, because they look more like the pokemon that died in the burned tower. Does anyone else see a similarity or is it just me?
I remember the childhood rumors around ‚Bin‘ the mysterious Evolution from Simsala (Alakazam) here in Germany. Thanks for bringing that up. Excellent research !
"Fortunately, he aced the test and was hired as the translator" Please tell me this guy isn't the person who translated the "Caterpie evolves into Butterfree" question.
4:57 "These bugs are removed in the international versions of the game." I'm sorry but that's very wrong. I own a German, French, Japanese and American version of diamond and the glitch is applicable in all versions. I have multiple darkrai and shaymin, got to heatran by messing with the game, made the American one unplayable and made it to Arceus in the German version.
not only is the shoes off at the door thing kinda uncommon, we dont leave them outside most of the time, we usually have either a separate floor mat, or a shoe and boot rack
I think it so touching how Masuda meant for older and younger generations to come together. Though it may be overrated or not even thought of nowadays, I still think of it a valuable way of familial generations to come together especially as older generation players get older.
0:50 "Deciding how to impliment 3D visuals took Gamefreak a long time as they wanted to ensure this new approach worked with Pokemon's art style" It's 2022 and they're still working that out apparently lol
I just realized something. Farfetch´d new evolution is based on Donxiote. Farfetch´d´s old evolution is based on Zorro (or a masked vigilant of a dime novel at least).
Aaaah I forgot about the pokemon mini!! My brother and I bought them in a toys'r'us in Germany when we were visiting our grandparents!! All the games were in german, but I remember all my friends were jealous because the system was never available where I lived. Good times.
Those translators' jobs sounds like my own job sometimes. "Here, do this. But don't expect any additional background information on what you're doing, despite it being crucial information. And also don't expect the rights to access some things in our programs, despite them being absolutely necessary for doing your job."
The spirit of Pokemon has alwayse been trying to obtain something rare and exclusive. It started with mew, and continued on with shiny Pokemon in gen 2. I don't know if they knew at the time what they were doing when they didn't give out the azure flute, but it lead to my favorite glitch of all time, and Darkrai, and shaymin, were the Pokemon I had that no one else could catch. And pokemon diamond is still my favorite Pokemon game of all time.
Me: *Working on my 3d printer with this video playing in the background* Video: "A newly discovered retina protein was named after Pikachu" Me: *hears a new rectal protein protein has been named after pikachu instead* "A WHAT?"
5:32 Additional explanation of Korean censorship: Korean GRAC (GRB back then) rating system refuses rating any video game which contains gambling features, such as poker or slot machines. Since GRAC rating is mandatory for all physically released games, Pokemon is no exception. This policy is due to the notorious arcade slot machines in the mid-2000s called "Sea Story." Those illegal gambling cabinets were active in every small neighborhood and stirred the whole society. The Sea Story Incident resulted in the establishment of a dedicated half-gov half-civil rating board dedicated to video games, which of course strictly bans any gambling features. Online card games such as poker and hanafuda are not considered as "video games" according to the Korean legislation, and dealt by stricter gov authorities.
The real question I wanted was why the lack of fire types existed for DP. The pokemon used for 80 percent of the game is the chimchar line, ponyta line, rotom oven. All the way until you get to Stark Mountain.
"Where jynx is depicted with its original skin coloring." Poliwag - black Pikachu - black Bulbasaur - black .......... Jynx - black Everyone - *"OOOOOOOOO"*
I can't stand fingerprint smudges on my screens so I use my stylus unless my game just makes it hard to do, like Bionicle Heroes where the touch screen is the jump button.
34:54 - I can imagine the first time Pokémon CEO talked with 'muricans: US: So you have this pokémon stuff... let's rev it up. Ishikara: Okay. US: So... make this Pikachu shit tigerlike... Ishikara: A what..? US: With BIG tiddies! :3 Ishikara: But how that does make it a Pikachu?! US: Chillax... it's easy: by her tail. IShikara: May I have a question? US: Sure, go ahead. Ishikara: Are you... furries? US: Yes, so what? Ishihara: .... US: ... Ishikara: GET. OUT!
Something interesting about the DS and beyond games is that the touch screen loads just a tiny bit faster than the player can make decisions with the buttons. You can see and interact with the touch screen about a half second before you can do that through the buttons. Even if you are pressing the buttons to interact with the game before the screen loads or as soon as you see it you will still have about a half second between the time you see the options and when you can interact with them through the physical buttons but the touch screen is able to be interactive up to a half second before you can see the options. This will vary depending on the system and what is loading but most of the time your buttons will be locked out until about a half second after you can see the options.
18:18 you can play HG/SS on an Emulator back then without freezing. I can't afford a DS but it never gave me that freeze screen due to anti piracy program lol
“And we’ll have this awesome event, all you have to do is go back to spear pillar with a special flute!” “Nah too hard, release a shitty movie then give it away on a code card.”
The names in spanish are decent, the problem is that many need to be pronounced in english to not sound like you had a stroke and as you may imagine, those that use the translations are not the ones that know english, let alone the pronunciations So "Caterpie" sounds like "Cater foot", "Squirtle" sounds like someone messing with the spelling on purpose and sounds like "Skirtleh", "Spearow " sounds like "Speharou", etc
37:25 I'm surprised he changed that text on his own though id say it was a good call for the American audience. lmao I'm surprised he thought about the Mr. Mime issue before it was an issue and nobody cared to address it.
I have a bootleg version of heart gold that’s technically in english but has the expanded lettering and has the japanese games room so it’s the slot machine instead of voltorb flip

I was supposed to have this in the background, but I watched the whole thing and now I'm behind on my work!
Knowing "pika pi" means "Satoshi" makes that scene in the first movie where Ash turns to stone and Pikachu's shaking him saying "pika pi, pika pi" hurt ALL THE MORE 😭
Atleast he didn't say "it's pikause"
I still just can’t believe Ash really tried to throw hands with Mewtwo…didn’t think that one out at all
The fact that I could recall that scene from simply reading the comment despite having watched the move ONCE over 15 years ago is a testament to both the movie's quality and Ohtani's shockingly(pun intended) great acting.
It almost changes the entire way you look at Pikachu
@@jouheikisaragi6075 takeshi shudo was a fantastic writer
The Azure Flute was “too confusing”....what about the Regi puzzles in Gen III...?🙃
Nah, everyone knows how to read Braille of course.
@@psyffee3755 that is, read braille flat on a screen of course
@@Greigames it's a hell of a lot easier than reading if you're blind.
I could NEVER figure that out when I was growing up and didn’t have anything to look up what to do there.
@@CJ9007 I knew about braille before I saw it there. Knew about it in books. I just couldn't figure out what some of the codes meant.

"The obsession with cleanliness is a Japanese mindset."
Oh, self-burn! Those are rare!
The Azure Flute excuse is still by far one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
The "Britney Spearow" thing really made me laugh. Their response where they'd had enough of Nob's shenanigans lol.
They probably thought it was too obvious and Britney can sue them for the joke
It’s such an innocent joke and the idea of Nintendo being like “NEVER DO THIS AGAIN” is very funny
It's always funny hearing stories about how companies think their games are going to fail and then end up becoming the 2nd best selling video game franchise of all time
It’s kinda like how Final Fantasy was called that because Square was suffering at the time, so they thought this could be their last game.
Not even just the 2nd best selling franchise. It's the highest grossing media property in the world!
@@angel-of-light-kelly1355 So they made it their best.
Humble beginnings and passionate people with solid ideas.
They didn’t think it would fail. They thought they were capitalising on the very popular previous games, and wanted to make it as best they could. They’re actually correct in that Pokémon was as popular when gold and silver came out the series was as popular as it would ever be.

I do remember being hyped about the touch-screen. This was in the period when smartphones didn't used to be mainstream.
It felt very futuristic.
The future is now, my man

14:29 a team with a lvl 20 Sudowoodo and a lvl 57 Meganium.
Oh have I played pokemon games like that through my life
Yes a starter and a pokemon to cover weakness. Blastoise and Nidoking.
I loved scolipede the gen 5 nidoking.
I'm glad Ho-oh's theme stayed as is. You can tell it went through rigorous changes and variations, but with how hard it slaps Im glad its what it is.
When they say Diamond and Pearl facts but they give you Platinum facts too
Cause platinum is the best
And heart gold and soul silver and fire red and leaf green and red blue gold and silver
@@MrMitchbow Yes, but I'm saying we got Platinum facts in the Diamond + Pearl section at the very beginning
Thats gold
D&P, the only gen I skipped. :/
I was ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with voltorb flip. I would play it for hours at a time. I don't know why, I'm terrible at number games like sudoku, but I loved it.
"Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were targeted for casual players". Aren't those some of the hardest in the entire series?
Ok. I haven't played them yet but that's what I've herad.
Harder than now a days!
First and second gen are ruthless asf. I remember when I was little little I couldn't even figure out how to catch pokemon in Crystal
Gen5 was the hardest challenge I believe
Bats and foxes are my favourite animals so seeing the baby Zubat and the baby Vulpix in succession actually made me tear up a little bit.

And yet you keep playing?
Maybe he meant the concept of catching god,might be to much for kids to get

And pokemon diamond is still my favorite Pokemon game of all time.
42:10 Bin looks awesome
In spanish, all pokemon names are the same as english save for Type: Null, in Spanish it's "Codigo Cero"
Y’all better help my guy get 1 million vows. I got the day off so ima have this vid on repeat😂💪🏼
They took several clips from chuggaaconroy with no credit to him

Video: "A newly discovered retina protein was named after Pikachu"
Me: *hears a new rectal protein protein has been named after pikachu instead* "A WHAT?"

You guys have some misinformation here. Tweaking still exists in the international version of Diamond Pearl, and even Platinum.
~57:00 - Kotara looks like it's design was reused for Togedemaru
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.
Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are still some of the best games.
5:32 Additional explanation of Korean censorship:
Korean GRAC (GRB back then) rating system refuses rating any video game which contains gambling features, such as poker or slot machines. Since GRAC rating is mandatory for all physically released games, Pokemon is no exception. This policy is due to the notorious arcade slot machines in the mid-2000s called "Sea Story." Those illegal gambling cabinets were active in every small neighborhood and stirred the whole society. The Sea Story Incident resulted in the establishment of a dedicated half-gov half-civil rating board dedicated to video games, which of course strictly bans any gambling features. Online card games such as poker and hanafuda are not considered as "video games" according to the Korean legislation, and dealt by stricter gov authorities.
The real question I wanted was why the lack of fire types existed for DP. The pokemon used for 80 percent of the game is the chimchar line, ponyta line, rotom oven. All the way until you get to Stark Mountain.
Fun fact, you can actually play all the Pokémon Mini games in the gamecube Pokemon Channel game.
Yoooooo the picture of the translator is from a tourist attraction near where I live crazy!
Pretty sure Grotesu is supposed to be a mix of an angler fish as well as a gulper eel, and not just an elongated angler fish
Dang that pokemon mini makes me nostalgic for those old lcd systems that used to be all over walmart stores and such.

Bulbasaur - black
..........
Jynx - black
Everyone - *"OOOOOOOOO"*
They were afraid of using their fingers for the touch screen?
i never used the stylus with my 7 year old 3ds lol
I can't stand fingerprint smudges on my screens so I use my stylus unless my game just makes it hard to do, like Bionicle Heroes where the touch screen is the jump button.
Same lmao, I scratched my screen in a Giant Battle in Mario and Luigi tho.
I always used the stylus on any DS game I played. I *hated* getting my screen all smudged and making my screen harder to see.
34:54 - I can imagine the first time Pokémon CEO talked with 'muricans:
US: So you have this pokémon stuff... let's rev it up.
Ishikara: Okay.
US: So... make this Pikachu shit tigerlike...
Ishikara: A what..?
US: With BIG tiddies! :3
Ishikara: But how that does make it a Pikachu?!
US: Chillax... it's easy: by her tail.
IShikara: May I have a question?
US: Sure, go ahead.
Ishikara: Are you... furries?
US: Yes, so what?
Ishihara: ....
US: ...
Ishikara: GET. OUT!
So I wonder if the use of the Pedometer in previous games is what gave way to the egg hatching system in Pokemon Go
Something interesting about the DS and beyond games is that the touch screen loads just a tiny bit faster than the player can make decisions with the buttons. You can see and interact with the touch screen about a half second before you can do that through the buttons. Even if you are pressing the buttons to interact with the game before the screen loads or as soon as you see it you will still have about a half second between the time you see the options and when you can interact with them through the physical buttons but the touch screen is able to be interactive up to a half second before you can see the options. This will vary depending on the system and what is loading but most of the time your buttons will be locked out until about a half second after you can see the options.
18:18 you can play HG/SS on an Emulator back then without freezing. I can't afford a DS but it never gave me that freeze screen due to anti piracy program lol
“And we’ll have this awesome event, all you have to do is go back to spear pillar with a special flute!” “Nah too hard, release a shitty movie then give it away on a code card.”
The names in spanish are decent, the problem is that many need to be pronounced in english to not sound like you had a stroke and as you may imagine, those that use the translations are not the ones that know english, let alone the pronunciations
So "Caterpie" sounds like "Cater foot", "Squirtle" sounds like someone messing with the spelling on purpose and sounds like "Skirtleh", "Spearow " sounds like "Speharou", etc
39:11 - best quote of the hour ❤️
Oh no a 57 minute video
*Better avoid all work for 57 minutes*
58 Minutes Of Facts
I adore long videos.
37:25 I'm surprised he changed that text on his own though id say it was a good call for the American audience.
lmao I'm surprised he thought about the Mr. Mime issue before it was an issue and nobody cared to address it.
I have a bootleg version of heart gold that’s technically in english but has the expanded lettering and has the japanese games room so it’s the slot machine instead of voltorb flip
I wish the pokewalker was still a thing, it was a great way to interact with Pokemon in your daily life.
True fans know the OG Pokemon Diamond and Jade :p
'corpse of a dead panda' That's a hopping vampire....
