Misspelled "guardian" for the Ho-oh fact?
Jsyn, you've got a bot pretending to be you doing the "you won something!" comment-spam.
Ngl this is kind of scary
My boy phin gettin that sponsorship money :) you love to see it
Something I'll never understand is why Garchomp, a Pokemon that has been shown to be able to fly, can't learn the move Fly
One more thing about Reshiram and Zekrom's theme: Kyurem has the same theme but the difference in that rendition is that has extra parts earlier on. And during the fill section... it's empty. Much like the frozen dragon itself.
The extra slap bass goes a long way for the listening experience too 👌 I always listen to the Kyurem version when I revisit that theme
Also, the same subtle difference exists in the battle themes of Black and White Kyurem during the sequel.
@@fadeleaf845 Do you know what point in the theme that happens? I’ve listened to B/W Kyurems themes many times and I can never find the difference.
@@oyeh8908 The section I'm talking about occurs around the 1 minute 15 second mark on Kyurem's theme. 1 minute 18 seconds on Zekrom/Reshiram.
everyone already knows this shit idk why it was in the video
Here's an obscure fact: In Gen 3, Teddiursa is the only non-Gen 1 Pokémon whose sprite was changed going from Ruby & Sapphire to FireRed & LeafGreen, but retained its original sprite when Emerald was released.
That's wild brother! I never noticed that
@@CanadianfalconTeddiursa is only available in Emerald in the final game (though it was planned for the Altering Cave).
You mean gen 2 pokemon?
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 if you use an action repay you can catch it in altering cave in fr/lg
@@timobosch1492 Most Gen 1 Pokémon had their sprites changed in FRLG, but all the new Gen 3 ones did not, hence the distinction.
Fun fact- when I first played gen 2, I somehow completely overlooked where to find the Waterfall HM (it didn't strike me that it was that item in the Ice Path). I knew from my copy of Pokemon Handbook that Seaking could learn it so, I traded a Goldeen over from my Red version (so that it would get the Exp boost and level up quicker) and painstakingly trained it until it learned Waterfall 😅
That HM being missable is probably why HGSS made it so you can't leave Ice Path (where the HM is) until you get it
That happened to me too thats funny. The only fact i knew because of that exact scenario
@@chronocus282 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who did that! 🤣
Same with Fly. In the original Gold back when it came out, I played the whole game w/o flying then my friend traded me a pidgey with it and I felt like a dumbass
I did the same on my first Silver play through, minus the trading. I went and caught/trained a Goldeen because I didn’t know how else to get it.
I remember replaying Pokemon Red back in 2001 after beating Silver and raising a Seakings level up using rare candies from the missingno glitch and I saw "seaking wants to learn Waterfall..." I was freaking out because I thought there was some hidden waterfall in the region that would take me to some Pokegod. I proceeded to waste an whole week looking for a waterfall that didn't exist.
Moments like those are what makes games special.
Would've been really cool in gen 2 if there was a waterfall that takes you to a place where you can evolve a seaking into a seagod. Maybe even make the waterfall only climbable by a seaking with the move
Didn't Seafoam Islands have a waterfall that washed you back to land until you blocked its flow?
The Zekrom/Reshiram fact is particularly annoying when you understand that for ORAS and USUM, they used Zekrom's theme for both Zekrom and Reshiram and... Kyurem, despite having a clearly different theme lol
Oof, that's quite the oversight
@@DJCosmicLatte I miss my slap bass
That 3D transition really was just a massive dip in quality for pokemon, huh?
Doesn't surprise me. Attention to detail became non existent post gen 5
@@MamaTrixxieAsmr That's not even the worst part. As you know, Ho-oh and Lugia have different battle themes, but since in ORAS you can only fight one or the other depending on the version, the other battle theme is forever locked for online battle/battle mansion. And you have a gap in the number you can't fix.
Some obscure facts of my own: Dragon Fang, Black Belt, and Silver Powder were almost impossible to obtain in R/S/E without trading as each required you to use Thief on a specific Pokémon in specific trainers' teams, with only one of each existing. What’s worse is that none of the items would appear in your first battle with these trainers, requiring up to 4 battles each to get the item to appear!
Phanpy can learn Water Gun, but ONLY in Crystal. Which is a weird thing to remove from my boi, since it’s not exactly balance breaking and fits the theme of “elephant.”
Something I recently learned about was that Diamond and Pearl had some exclusive move changes that were only present in those games. Hypnosis was increased to 70 accuracy, and Thunder and Blizzard had a 30% chance to ignore protect if their respective weather was up. These changes were reverted when Platinum released. I'm unaware if there are more move changes that only affect Diamond and Pearl.
The 30% Protect bypass is a glitch. The way they made it work us to turn the 30% miss chance into a hit change, but forgot to apply a protect check.
And the Charmander line exclusively knew Metal Claw in Firered and Leafgreen but not in any other games (via level-up)
@@IronWolf123 This was to follow Gen 3's updated game design for the first gym by giving every starter line a super effective move.
@@IronWolf123 It's pretty normal for movesets to vary from game to game though. Metal Claw is just a particularly interesting move that got chopped, probably because having a way to fight Brock when starting with Charmander was only important for FRLG's balancing.
@@enhancehurts I still remember that cause its the only game Charmander learns Metal Claw via level up and not as an egg move
If you trade a Surfing Pokèmon to Platinum, it's 100% possible to see those two trainers battling. You don't necessarily HAVE to use Action Replay cheats. Just beat Crasher Wake, trade a Surf Learner to DP/HGSS to teach Surf, trade back to Platinum, head toward Canalave and Surf. The reason they're there is because they are roadblocks for those trying to advance the story too far before they get the Surf HM from Celestic Town. If the game has not set the "Beat Cyrus, Open Canalave" flag, they will be there. In fact, what you've shown is in fact true that they are there UNTIL you beat Cyrus.
I actually knew the Waterfall fact, the reason being that in Pokemon Stadium, of all places, Seaking has access to the move. Not that I used Seaking, but the AI opponents sometimes do, and that's how I experienced it.
I was going to comment that I remember it because of pokemon stadium, but I was not sure if it was Stadium 1 or 2
No literally same for me
They had time to do this and not have more than one dragin type move 🤣
in pokemon yellow in cerulean cave , seakings have waterfall
Also, apparently it was going to be a different HM move that would preform that function, which was identical to splash in function and with a similar name, which is how it is in the Spaceworld Demo
For the 2nd fact: you don’t need to cheat, it’s to force you to visit Celestic Town and take Surf instead of receiving a Pokémon able to use it by trade.
Can't you like not trade a Pokemon which knows an hm move
@@pokefan9194 if its your ONLY pokemon that knows surf, yes, but if you have multiple pokemon that know surf then youre allowed. whats always banned is transferring a pokemon with surf up to gen 5
@@orangeaurora ok thnks i didn't know that
Doesn't Seaking also naturally learn Surf?
@@j.b.5422Now, it's Waterfall it naturally learns (it's their signature move up to Gen 6 actually)
God this video made me realize then Gen 5 had peak sound design. Between the ambiance of the bridge or the various NPC’s you can interact with to change the over-world music to music change that occurs when you run. I really hope they remember this stuff in any remakes because it really does add so much to the feel of those games
Genfivers when the gen is five
Gen 5 was just peak pokemon, period. c':
I hated it when I was a kid, now I miss the attention to detail it had.
unovaborts try not to bring up gen 5 everywhere challenge (impossible)

Wait, why is everyone not playing Pokemon anymore?
An obscure fact for Scarlet/Violet: In the games, there are Vivillon to catch but the average person probably wouldn't think anything of it nor its pattern until they read the description: "This form is from a mysterious land" or "This Pokémon was born in a mysterious land" depending on the game. The specific pattern of wild Vivillon in Paldea is the Fancy Pattern. Originally, you were only able to get a Vivillon with this specific pattern via the Nintendo Network from July 8th to the 31st 2014 when the Global Trade System celebrated its 100 millionth trade. So this "mysterious land"...is the INTERNET! The fact they brought back this formerly event-exclusive pattern for Gen 9 is a detail that I appreciate.
I actually ended up finding a shiny scatterbug on route 1, i didn't even think it was a shiny at first i just thought it was gonna be a regional form
The reason they use fancy vivillon is because its technically its own species and so they dont need to add in the main like 20 forms it had in pokemon x and y.
Kind of like how cosplay pikachu is its own species.
I have a male and female vivillion of almost every pattern. On my omega ruby game. I traded for most of them.
I’m actually bummed that Fancy pattern is just put in SV like that… at least make it an event pokemon for the game to make it more unique to capture instead of being too subtle about it. Like how Porygon is directly tied to the space-time distortion events in LA and has dialogue and reactions dedicated to it.
So they just completely ruined the novelty of that entire event? Sounds like Scarlet/Violet alright.
This made me realise how rare it is to see facts in these videos from gen 6 onwards. Yeah small details like whiting out in a tutorial battle doesn't actually make you white out are cool and all but there's a lot of big secrets in the 3D titles that I feel like aren't really covered by anyone that much. Biggest thing I can think of is the sheer amount of secret interactions you can get in Ultra Sun and Moon after beating the main story. Like how if you enter Nanu's police station in the postgame you help a starting trainer pick out a starter pokemon from 3 alolan meowths. Even today I'm still finding some interactions in random buildings and sometimes I find another one in a building I already found a secret cutscene in on an earlier date like the Hau'oli City shopping centre's stage that holds random events you can watch. I'm pretty sure I walked in on a pokemon talent show once.
those are completely normal post game events and sidequests in some of the most (rightfully) unpopolar games in the series,
it's a lot more natural and less obscure than the clefairy cutscene changing the encounters in its area or the sky changing color after finding ho oh
@@rajkanishu although I don’t agree with Gen 7 receiving that “rightfully” jab since Sun and Moon had a great story and USUM had an amazing difficulty spike, I do agree with those not being obscure facts.
@@rajkanishu Well of course the clefairy cutscene and ho-oh facts are more obscure those were literally the best parts of the video. I'm talking about the rest of the filler facts like "Did you know you can lose this battle. It doesn't do anything but it's neat I guess" that could have instead been replaced with an entire animated cutscene with total dialogue that barely anyone's seen because it's in one specific house on a specific route that you can only see after a specific condition is met.
Plus, wouldn't facts from 'unpopular' games be less known about than facts from popular ones? Because I can't tell you how many people I've seen point out the zekrom and reshiram lightning and fire music sound effects before this video
@@rajkanishu USUM is amazing. They ramped up the difficulty and I loved almost every new Pokemon. I think it's going to be the same situation as Gen 5, in a few years, it'll be praised. But the first versions didn't need to exist, they only needed the Ultra upgraded versions.
@@justsomewheel9379 the point is that what you're describing are just normal game interactions lol
Something obscure I found out from a Bulbapedia article is that, in HGSS, if you examine the portrait in Kurt's house a text box will pop up and read:
"You see three people, with landscape in the background. It's Kurt, Professor Oak, and... in the middle, a lady with determined eyes."
The lady is supposedly meant to be Agatha according to Bulbapedia.
Agatha and oak were married
@@ibrahim6192WTF!? SINCE WHEN???
Agatha says that Pokémon are meant for battling. If it’s really her maybe she regrets pkmn research (mewtwo?)
About Ho-Oh: haven't you guys ever wondered why you cannot step on the last spot of that platform before Ho-Oh notices and attacks you?
There is a Sacred Ash hidden on that last spot. I like to believe that Ho-Oh is protecting that Sacred Ash, and that is why we can only step on the last spot after catching/defeating the legend.
That or Ho-Oh poop it during battle.
Certain Pokémon had moves added to their movesets in later versions for particular reasons. A few I found notable in Platinum were the Regis. Regigigas is caught at level 1 and the trio caught at level 30. In Diamond and Pearl, those Pokémon at their Platinum levels would know Explosion by default. A move was added to the trio's learnset to override Explosion and three moves for Regigigas for the same reason so they do not KO themselves mid-battle. Additionally Mew is able to do that in Emerald as it can Metronome into Self-Destruct or Explosion.
I knew waterfall was in gen 1 not because I've ever used Seaking, but because one day randomly I used metronome and waterfall was the attack. I played a lot back in the day and it really surprised me because I did never see that attack before
The vcr effects are kind erie. These are actually interresting facts. I caught myself say "interresting" after at least 3 of these facts.
I'm not sure how much I enjoy the new production style- The noise really does grate on my ears. But good episode, thank you!
I only knew about the Waterfall move from the goldeen/Seaking line because I always loved those beautiful fish pokemon.
But I've noticed not many people share the same love for these two, so I can understand why it would be obscure.
same!! I loved Misty's goldeen so when I played yellow back in the day I used it, that's why I knew about waterfall
I did know that Seaking had Waterfall in gen 1, I didn't realize he was the ONLY one to learn it
Good stuff as always
Best Pokemon fact videos on the platform
Goldeen gets it at 39. Seaking gets it at ~level 54! Source: On an old Blue cartridge I had I did so just to have the move in Gen 1.
@@TeraunceFoaloke I just remember Seaking having it in Pokemon Stadium and going "oh huh, I guess this move was around in gen 1 then"
Are there better pokemon videos on other platforms???? Which where?
@@WhereNothingOnceWas honestly doubt it lmao
Some Pokémon had exclusive moves in Gen 1 that they can learn by level up that no other Pokémon can lean by leveling up. Some of those moves are also TMs. Only one I can think of top of mind is Pay Day. Meowth learns it by level up, but it’s also a TM in Gen 1.
That Waterfall fact makes me weirdly...happy? It makes me want more Pokémon who are barely ever used to have really good moves to make people wanna use them. Seaking is a good Pokémon, just so forgotten. It feels like a reward for giving love to the usually unloved.
Goldeen and Seaking are just victims of circumstance. In Gen 1, you could ONLY get Magikarp with the Old Rod, so you'd be waiting until after Snorlax to get access to a Good Rod.
But, by the time you can get the Good Rod, you can also get the Super Rod, giving you a PLETHORA of other choices for Water type pokemon. Assuming you didn't already choose Squirtle as a starter, get the free Squirtle in Yellow, or evolve yourself a Gyarados.
Even if you DO go out of your way to use Goldeen, it needs TMs to learn any Water moves at all, evolves at a somewhat late lvl 33, and then gets Waterfall at lvl 39.......and it's a good thing they don't list the damage and effects of moves in Gen 1, or you'd realize that Waterfall is 80 base power, and Surf (the HM you can get from the Safari Zone at the same time you get ACCESS to Goldeen) is 95 base power, and needed for progression anyway.
Honestly. If you could JUST get Goldeen from an Old Rod, you could give it the Water Gun or Bubblebeam TM and have a serviceable early game Water type. Instead, they are (quite literally) a small fish, lost in a sea of better options.
In heartgold and soulsilver Ho-oh and Lugia both have different battle themes. The composer said he had trouble making it sound elegant and graceful whilst also powerful (i think he did an amazing job!)
I feel like most people know this, but the Tao Trio weren't the first to have slightly different music between them; the Legendary Beasts used to share a theme in GSC, but in HGSS had different instrumentation and slightly altered themes to match their types (ie Raikou had more focus on electric guitar, Suicune used more piano like droplets of water, and Entei used more percussion like a crackling flame.)
Glad you got a chance to post again :)
I did know that Seaking learned Waterfall from watching Smallant in one of his early HeartGold map randomizer races. (It was the shining moment of that race because both the Waterfall HM and his needed door/loading-zone were locked behind waterfalls; but, he had the 8th gym badge and he was allowed to scale waterfalls. So he had to quickly grind up a wild Seaking to learn Waterfall and win the race).
I didn't know it was a Gen 1 move. That's a great trivia fact!
That moment was sick! I loved that Emerald run and it was most definitely the play of the game against Pointcrow!
A move very similar to splash was planned to fill its role in the spaceworld demo, with an identical function and a similar name
Fun thing about Fact #8! There's actually a hint that Waterfall was a Gen 1 move, signature to Seaking: it's the move it gets in the original Pokemon TCG. The mandatory tutorial of the GB game even features Seaking's Waterfall, where you have to use it to smack a Machop in order to progress. It's odd to think that it was there the whole time before it became relevant in Gold and Silver.
I don’t know if it’s because of the way you did your videos in the past, but I personally find the tone of this video with the analogue horror style and darker music to be very unfitting for this kind of content. It also doesn’t help that you weren’t talking about anything creepy or dark. I get the idea that you wanted to give off that you were in the depth like in iceberg videos, but I just felt like it didn’t mesh well. Great content and research as always.
Also is it me, or is the 10th fact missing? Or was that the drawbridge?
Speaking of the teleporting to jubilife City to skip the rival encounter, something I found out while playing through Platinum is that if you enter eterna City and you do not heal at the center and your last heal at a center was in jubilife or oreburgh, if you use teleport it will take you back to eterna instead. They did this to protect you from skipping getting the explorer kit and the bike. Since you would not be allowed to walk out of the town without getting those first
I don't understand how you'd be skipping anything by teleporting to Oreburgh or Jubilife. To progress you'd still need to return to Eterna.
@@findtheblue he made it up
@@sjacqVO21 definitely made up. Im damn near 100% sure the explorer kit is completely optional anyways and can be skipped entirely.
@@frootloopthechatot9766No, I just did a Platinum playthrough for a video, and you do have to get the explorer kit before going to cycling road (it was my first time playing in about 2 years so I skipped it). The roadblock would make sense since you could just get to Hearthome from the ramp north of Oreburgh, although I'm not sure why they force you to take the explorer kit
@@PokemonWoop ive only played thru platinum (havent played in a long time so i likely forgor abt it) but maybe its for getting players to connect thru it more? It is the only way to get spiritomb in those games without trading it from someone else. Also, maybe it was DP i was thinking of where it was optional.
The clefairy fact was honestly absolutely unereal to learn about
When the world needed him most, he returned! ❤️
Wow! Never heard anyone say this before
@@SkydrawnIV me neither
I actually did realize fact #8 about Waterfall. I realized it when I first saw it in Gen 2 that it was a Goldeen move but not usable as an overworld HM.
What a crazy memory to unlock, I was such a kid at the time too and I quickly remembered that I actually did recognize this tiny inconsistency way back then!
I kinda remembered a game from my childhood. PokeRom. They were these half sized little CDs with flat edges small enough to fit in a card sleeve and were sold in blister packs in Toys R Us. I remember it because I asked for the lugia disc when I was smol and I was given the ledyba one and my disappointment was immeasurable. A quick youtube search shows that there are some videos about the games, but no one ever really talks much about them and I don't know how well they're documented. There might be some real gold in there when it comes to obscure pokemon facts. Especially considering how many of these discs were made.
Love this video alot. But there's some flashing lights in the title cards thsts kinda hard to watch
Did you know you in RSE when aboard the SS Tidal you can actually look out of the ship window to watch the boat sail through the sea routes?
Did not know that , just played thru E again , guna check that out ty 👌
For #5, I wonder if walking back to Oreburgh after skipping the Barry cutscene still causes it to play or if the game just sees that you made it to Jubilife and turns off the flag. Not that I imagine approaching the cutscene from the wrong angle would change much or look super weird.
Great video as always!
plumbum!
I just binged through all your obscure fact videos and love them! I don't usually comment with criticism but just a bit of friendly advice: the new transitions and filter effects are pretty hard on the eyes and distracting as well. As someone with both a visual disability and adhd, it makes enjoying the content of the video a little hard. I can't imagine people with epilepsy will enjoy the flashing either, just a thought. Even so I do appreciate all the time and research that goes into these videos and can see the love put into them. Keep up the great work!
I felt the same, it feels a little unnecessary and strange to have horror-style transitions in a pokemon video. But yeah the content is wonderful :)
This was his first video in awhile, so for one reason or another he may be using a different effects program for this video
I sort of get the whole “lost media” aesthetic it’s going for, but putting a filter over the footage and audio of the actual segment is a bit much
These videos have a very relaxing quality to them. It’s weirdly calming learning all these new things about games I’ve played since I was a kid.
I love these videos , they're always super interesting. However I have to say that the background music makes you really difficult to hear
So glad you’re posting again! Was actually talking with a buddy of mine a couple of days ago about how I missed your videos. Your pokemon videos are the highlight of a day when you post. Hope you keep making them🙌🏼
Love that you're back, but the background music and static is very distracting and at times over shadows your voice
The Waterfall in Gen 1 thing is something I did know about due to how friggin old I am.
In Pokemon Diamond And Pearl not Platinum (or the remakes) just Diamond And Pearl the music in Spring Path has many audio glitches sometimes the music just doesn’t play at all but when it does the music is slightly different,
In DP Spring Path uses the same music as the Old Chateau and Newmoon Island however Spring Path’s version sounds different, in the Old chateau version (and Newmoon Island but the only legit way to acess there in DP nowadays is to have a save file from back in 2009 that had the Event so you ain’t getting there without hacks or glitches) there is a part which sounds like a haunting ghost choir (appropriate for the area) however Spring Path’s version this section has said choir removed and sounds dead, empty and Hollow, this version will follow you into Sendoff Spring and Turnback Cave, this is a glitch as fitting as the empty feel is for the area as if you save and reset or use Surf in the area the regular version used in the Old Chateau starts up (I’m not certain if encountering wild pokemon fixed the music so if you want to try this yourself go in with repels), someone looking into the song files and found that the difference was an audio file called female choir didn’t load in the glitched version.
Strangely in Platinum Spring Path’s music was changed to the music of the adjacent route (route 214) which maybe due to the audio glitches and in Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl the music is obviously remixed even when using the DS Sounds it is fixed (trust me I tried)
This may sound like a creepypasta and I would probably think that too but I remember the music being different between DP and Pt as a kid (I didn’t find the Chateau for a while so my only exposure to the music was Spring Path) I thought I was hearing things for years but finding out I was correct all these years was satisfying as all get out
If you want to hear the difference watch this video m.ruclips.net/video/ac8XIBEGtIA/видео.html
It also has an explanation in the description if mine was long winded
Too compare just type in Old Chateau on YT listen to both tracks from 0:38 to 1:21 and you’ll hear the difference.
As much as I know it’s unintentional part of me wants to believe it is as it fits so well
Credit me if you use this fact I want it out there
I actually knew the fact of Waterfall being a Gen I move because I decided to train every Pokémon I caught up to at least lvl 50, including Seaking, and I remember it particularly well because it started being more useful in Victory Road thanks to that move, but I didn't know it was only accessible to Goldeen's line.
High quality video btw
It's a bad move though, strictly worse than surf. You'd have to train Seaking to level 39 before getting surf for it to be theoretically useful
@@verikukko Yeah, it became useful just because I trained all those Pokémon I caught right before Victory Road, otherwise I would have never known about it, and since then I started paying much more attention to movesets
Whats the song that plays here? 9:10
I’m so happy that you posted again! I missed your videos
I’m also glad that you took a break, I don’t even have RUclips as a job and it still gets kinda stressful sometimes
A fun fact, which has to do with the grass cutting in Gen 3 and that I NEVER heard ANYONE mention, is that the little sprites that show up in a circle around your character are the exact same grass sprites from Gold and Silver.
this video had a weird spooky vibe to it, not a bad thing just a bit jarring.
The uber creepy “analogue horror” vibe to this compilation is quite the mood
Re: the zigzagoon, pokemon do actually flee outside the safari zone, there are a few examples off the top of my head, I've been replaying Crystal and if you try to get Phanpy early it has the option to just run away (not teleport or use any move, it just straight up nopes out of the battle). I caught one and it took me about 40 minutes because the stupid thing kept running away after the pokeball failed. To make it even dumber, its catch rate isn't the best (and also, its encounter rate is only like 5% or something). I didn't even know it was catchable at all where I found it but I just happened to be playing at an ungodly hour and that's the only time it even spawns apparently. I believe I've seen Magnemite do it too, but there's probably a few others. It's bizarre, cause I don't remember it being a thing at all, and as far as I know, it's ONLY a gen 2 thing for whatever weird reason. Well, they can in let's go as well, but that's not really the same IMO since it's just modeled to work similarly to the phone game.
You're right, quite a few pokemon in gen 2 are able to flee from battle!
This includes: Magnemite, Grimer, Tangela, Cubone, Mr. Mime, Dratini, Dragonair, Porygon, Quagsire, Umbreon, Eevee, Unown, Heracross, Teddiursa, Phanpy, Snubull, Delibird.
Most of them have less than a 10% chance of fleeing, but a few species - including Phanpy, Teddiursa, Delibird, Quagsire, and Cubone - have a 50% chance of fleeing!
@@MyHeartIsOhMyGod Oh yeah, I forgot delibird, that thing ran from me every time in the ice cave.
It's such a weird mechanic though, I forgot it was even a thing until I replayed Crystal.
I have a fact, but it's for a spin off. In Pokemon ranger guardian signs in the status screen after you complete certain tasks, you get some medals. At this point there have been discovered 4 of them but it's theorised by some that 1 more is obtainable. It's like the trainer card stars. For some reason it feels like no-one knows about them and it is interesting. If you guys want I can upload a video to show 4 of them that I have in my save file
Dude I was watching your old vids literally yesterday night, thinking how I hoped you'd return to youtube someday. Great to see you back!
Wow thank you so much for the information, most of them are new to me and I play Pokemon since I was a child! The full moon Clefairy thingy is interesting for me because full moon basically makes it possible for stronger tidal movement due to more gravitational pull. Which means, more Pokemon would possibly swim to the surface. I really appreciate small details like this.
And that vaporwave vibes you are giving away throughout the video? It's just perfect. Really, thank you. This is amazing. You're amazing!
I loved this video, thanks for staying committed to the very obscure pokemon facts
The Trainers battling in front of Canalave was likely an obstacle to prevent sequence breaking that may have later become obsolete. Suppose you were originally going to battle Fantina sooner, something had to prevent you from going to Canalave before you visit Celestic Town & learn who Cyrus actually was despite it being obvious. Then of course making you have to beat Cyrus to challenge Hearthome's Gym made it unnecessary, although Platinum still would need that roadblock because you could be traded a Pokémon that knows Surf before you get the HM for it from Cyrus.
As a Pokémon fact lover, I genuinely enjoy seeing your videos! They always intrigue me and you to this day are still showing me new facts I truly have not heard of. Thank you for the time and effort you put into finding these TRULY obscure facts!!
Super cool facts! I only knew the Waterfall one already (because I've often looked up which pokémon can learn Waterfall, so that I can plan my teams).
Glad you are back because Phin I miss your Twitch and RUclips streams as well as content
Why is it that your editing feels like a horror 💀
Whoa I love your style of editing/presenting! It's really cool!
Welcome back I was missing your content and I am so glad you have returned, hope your break was good!👍
J’adore comment tu as monté ta vidéo. Avec ta musique en fond sonore et les transitions entre les facts. Super ambiance ! Merci ! Ça change des autres vidéos sur les facts Pokémon 👌
i wish you'd put a flashing light warning at the beginning of the video
I love the presentation of these. It feels like I'm actively being held hostage.
so glad you're back, your content is some of the best out there.
I only knew facts 3, most of 4 (didn't know about the burn status thing), 6, and 8
...theres only 9 facts
Good video though, its cool to still be learning things about these games just when i think i have about as much useless knowledge as one can have about the series
I actually did know the reshiram/zekrom theme fact, and if you listen to kyrem's theme, it also is ever so slightly different
Glad to see another upload! You go the extra mile and I love that. Keep doing what you do!
Phin!!! I was just thinking about how I hadn't heard from you in a while last week! Glad to hear you're still kicking, bud!
Another excellent video as always! I love how I always learn at least 4-5 new things with each upload. Keep up the great work, buddy!
Also Ludiloco appearance POG
Glad to have you back Phin! Love your videos. This one is excellent as always
Thanks for watching Keith!
Wasn't sure you were coming back. Glad you are. Should we expect more videos coming?
Oh man, I'm happy I took a manual look at my subscription page today! Glad to see you back; I absolutely love these.
These are some crazy-awesome facts. I've been following Pokemon for over 16 years, and know a lot of random facts, and the fact that I only knew two of the ten on this list is insane. Thanks for this.
I actually knew that Goldeen/Seaking learned Waterfall in Gen 1. It baffled me when I had originally found out about it a few years ago.
Thank you so much for documenting these facts for us! I find every video fascinating, and I don't believe I've ever heard a fact in this channel's series that I've heard before.
I love all your videos! Welcome back, RUclips missed you. I hope you're doing well.
Any plans to organize the facts from all your videos by generation? I'd love to watch one on, say, Gen IV exclusively then replay it with an eye out to catch all the mechanics and cutscenes.
You need to make an inceberg chart, these are amazing
Why is this video edited like it's spooky though lol
I knew about the waterfall thing on accident when I was a kid! A friend traded me a dragonair from their GSC to my Gen 1 cart and we both thought it was a glitch.
Here's one I doubt people know: if you disconnect your switch from the Internet, Tera Raid Events will persist even after they end. The downsides are you can't get the latest ones until you re-connect, and (only for those with Nintendo Switch Online) you can't have others assist you in the raid, which is seemingly required for some 7-star raids.
Not gonna lie, the VCR effects hurt my eyes, especially on fact number 5.
Music is too loud in almost the entire video
ngl your content is PHENOMENAL. thank you for it
I would just like to say, watching this content was very entertaining. You did a great job of having your ad, seamlessly melded back into video, and didn't even push like and subscribe. You've earned both from me!
Hey, just so you know. The flashy visuals makes it semi painful to watch in the dark.
While playing through red and blue as a kid, I was using mew for every battle and would use metronome frequently. One of the pulls I got was waterfall, and I was so shocked that it was in gen 1
How did you get Mew in Red and Blue as a kid?
@@equipmagameplays Trainer fly glitch
Love the vibes in this episode, dude!
glad that you are back, also really like the editing
The editing gave me a stroke
Why was this edited like a creepypasta/jumpscare video
Man I love your obscure pokemon facts, they really set you apart from others.
I already knew the waterfall fact being in gen 1 cause I caught a goldeen and evolved it to seaking cause it’s sprite looked strong at the time. Ultimately, I settled with kingler-which is still one of my favorite water types due to it’s design for some reason.
I just didn’t realize it was the only water type to be able to learn it in gen 1.
I don't know how you managed to combine trivia and analogue horror, but you did it. I didn't really retain the facts, I was just amazed at the masterful mix of genres! Good stuff, thanks for the video!
Not to be the umm actually 🤓 guy, but not every use of vhs effects is analogue horror. I do not see any horror here
@@mothgirl0512 you’re either numb to it or just way cooler than we are because I was unsettled watching the whole video lol not my cup of tea but good facts
Love your videos but please fix the audio mixing, we can barely hear you with the background music
The sounds on the Driftveil Drawbridge are actually part of the music track, it's probably the longest track in the series. (It's over 20 minutes iirc).
I like the way you incorporate sponsors into videos... just found your channel and subbed today becoming a fan fast
Your editing style has become so engaging. I usually listen to videos like this, but all your transitions and the eerie elements really kept me locked in for the full 12 minutes!
The VHS stuff and the background music are really distracting...
love the aesthetic you got for these vids! keep it up brotha!
Really cool video as always, love the vhs editing ! I never noticed the bridge noises on BW despite stumbling on the wailord a few times...
The zigzagoon experiment reminded me of something that happens in Mystery dungeon sky explorers !
The game has extra episodes where you play as other character - including one where you play bidoof on a quest to find Jirachi.
During the episode, a fight happens when you're against a bagon, gligar and snover; it's a battle you're supposed to lose, but with a little luck it's possible to win it. Even if you do though, the cutscene will play as if you were defeated !
Yeah, it's called a forced loss battle, tons of games do them, the Grovyle battle in the main story is another one. What's actually far more interesting about Explorers is that (unlike most games, including the main series) these games don't just ignore it when you DO lose, meaning that for most bosses you actually DO get extra cutscenes if you return to the scene of the battle after a loss, even though most players will never see them.
For example, if you somehow manage to lose against Zubat and Koffing at the very beginning of the game, the partner questions
why they didn't just make off with the Relic Fragment in the meantime which gets them to admit that they can't find their way out of Beach Cave. The game is full of stuff like that, it actually makes me want to fail every boss the next time I play just to see what happens.
@@rainpooper7088 ooh yes, i didn't think about this but it's true it's a very interesting detail about the games ! I'm pretty sure i saw the majority of these small cutscenes - since i played it when i was very young, i was not very good at it and ended up loosing a lot of battles, sometimes multiple times :')
