I bet I know what’s going on with the level 4 Bibarel and Staravia. Staravia is #11 in the Sinnoh regional dex, and Bibarel is #14. In the national dex, #11 is metapod, and #14 is Kakuna - kanto pokemon unavailable otherwise in Sinnoh, which would make a lot of sense as encounters for Fire Red and Leaf Green.
Definitely not. The level 4 Bibarel also appears if the GBA game is Emerald. Also, the game uses unique index numbers internally for each pokemon, the Pokedex numbers are just cosmetic
@@FioFiorello Huh. I’d assumed it’d be a flub like this - it makes sense on paper - but the emerald thing throws a wrench into it. Still, I wonder if it’s something to do with just like…the wrong pokemon being selected, unintentionally. Can’t imagine it was *supposed* to be staravia and bibarel.
@@FioFiorello I agree but this screams unfinished to me. Like whoever was working on adding the bonus Pokémon for Fire Red and Leaf Green was probably using a table to convert the Pokédex values to the internal values… and clearly they never finished, forgot about it and didn’t test it. I’m not sure how 4th gen games identify the 3rd gen version but that must have been programmed to apply to Fr/Lg and Emerald, although they should have programmed it differently. Perhaps they gave up because they were unable to differentiate between the 3 games in the code for whatever reason. Certainly tells and interesting story, however I still think it was a mistake by a developer.
That last one with Psychic Jaclyn is so cool and such a fun addition for the games. The game developers probably knew not many people would know about it or even notice but it must’ve been fun for them to put her in, and I love just little details like that between games.
Reminds me about the Rocket Grunt from GSC from nugget bridge the "Bye bye a go go" dude, how he gets a happy ending in i think FRLG in the sevii islands (If i'm wrong with that let me know, i read the fact one time and may have gotten some things confused)
@@GarfieldTheLightningthose two are a different couple, they were both members of team aqua and magma and after the split of those teams they went off to live in the unova region together
There's another bug in BW like this. It's been a while, but I think it's in a restaurant in Nacrene City where you can "talk to" the entrance tiles and they'll give you a dialogue.
2:00 Actually, this only happens in Ruby and Sapphire. In Emerald, Steven gives you the Dive HM after beating Team Magma at the Mossdeep Space Center. If you trade in a Pokémon with Dive and go to Seafloor Cavern before that, a Team Aqua Grunt blocks your way and tells you to go to the Space Center.
I remember doing this as a kid, just running a new save file and used one of my brothers pokemon with dive. Transfer it over and boom, i found something cool.
@@rickyi3523 no, its nothing to do with softlock prevention. that is the same as in rs. the emerald change is simply to keep you from progressing the story with a traded diver.
Interesting! I'm willing to bet more people encountered that new failsafe than the old one, since some of the people who might have skipped getting dive initially (a small amount, I assume) still would have visited Steven's home randomly before making it into the Hall of Fame rather than ending up with the failsafe triggering
Shame she forced a Beauty called Melissa in her place (in ORAS, she was replaced with a Goldeen using Beauty, which seemed out of place until you realise Jaclyn ended up on the Sevii Islands. If you played Gen 1, they used the Beauty class to represent female swimmers).
In "Pokemon: Destiny Deoxys", there's a trainer with a Metagross named Rebecca. In DPP, on Route 224 (the easy to miss route AFTER Victory Road), there's a trainer named Rebecca with a Metagross.
Here's a Gen 2 fun fact I don't know if you've covered. In the Goldenrod Game Corner in GSC, there's an NPC in front of one slot machine who says "I always play this machine, it seems to win more often!" You might think it's just flavor text, but this NPC is only there in the afternoon & night time. If you go in the morning, he's gone and you can use his slot machine, which actually does have a slightly higher chance of winning. I don't remember hearing this from any general "pokemon facts" videos before and I only learned it from reading a deep dive into the exact mechanics & probabilities of the game corner in different pokemon games :)
I wish you had shown the dialog for Jaclyn in RSE, because she talks about teleporting home when you beat her--which is what leads to here teleporting into FRLG
Really cool video as always :D Btw about 5:40, underleveled Pokemon exist in every generation and there is a Bulbapedia page named "Underleveled Pokemon" which lists all of them. The funniest ones for me to imagine are the monstrous final evolutions in the single digits, like the Lvl.5 Machamp in Crystal ; the Lvl.6 Gallade in DP ; the Lvl.3 Charizard in Let's go or the two famous Lvl.9 Salamence in S/M and Lvl.1 Gyarados in B/W
the clefable, poliwrath and golem sprites are also seen when evolving clefairy, poliwhirl, and graveler, so realistically, anyone who's used these pokemon has seen these sprites before.
Except for the fact Graveler is a trade evo So while it can be pretty expected that the odd casual player may end up getting a Clefairy or Poliwag and getting them evolved up to Clefable and Poliwrath, respectively, unless they've got a friend and a Link Cable, they'd basically never see Golem's sprite on their own
@@subaruanon The point, besides the fact that, yes, linking up to another game inherently makes the potential obscurity of the sprites irrelevant [good luck feasibly doing that in our current year of 2023 by the way], is that the OP comment was basically saying "If you've used Clefairy, Poliwag/Poliwhirl, or Geodude/Graveler, you'll have been bound to see these sprites through evolving anyway", when you cannot evolve Graveler alone And the issue of being alone is kind of the big deal here because that's why the sprites of these 3 are "obscure", because as Phin says in the video, you never find these 3 in the wild or from an NPC Although ultimately, the more interesting thing about the fact is it means Golem can never be registered as seen, let alone caught, in a solo copy of Red or western Blue, which I think makes it the only Pokemon in those games like that [there are plenty others in a given playthrough, but most of what ends up being "unseen" tends to be a result of player choice, meanwhile Graveler's always gonna have that blank spot beneath it unless you pull put the funny cable] I did specify _western_ Blue because, interestingly, in the Japanese version of Blue, you actually *can* get a Golem in a single copy! The old man in the Pokemon Lab who offers an Electrode for a Raichu in most other versions will instead offer a Graveler for a Kadabra Again though, only in the Japanese version of Blue
@@WhimsicottFanaticYou can still see and catch the trade evolutions in the wild with the Ditto glitch, at least. I’m doing that to fill my Yellow Pokedex solo. Just saw the Golem sprite a few days ago.
The story for Jaclyn seems to go far deeper than you claim. Looking up Cycling Road In ORAS, Jaclyn was replaced with a Beauty called Melissa. Her pokemon is a lv.17 Goldeen where Jaclyn use to be. If you look back at Gen 1, Route 19 and 20 has Beauty and Swimmer Classes swimming. This means... Jaclyn swapped places with Melissa when she teleported to the Sevii Islands.
Speaking about hidden Nature power interraction : in D/P/Pt the move is supposed to turn into Mud bomb when used on a marsh tile, however this type of tile can only be found inside the Great marsh were fighting is impossible making the interraction unusable under normal circumstances.
@@YourFriendlyKebabIIRC those mud tiles don’t spawn wild Pokémon unlike the Great Marsh, and none of the trainers are close enough to the mud to trigger their fight
The mic test isn't obscure if you read the manual, as I did as a kid to every game I bought. I liked messing with the mic test before playing sometimes.
Yes, actually, it is! Even down to the Jigglypuff! I thought it was odd, as a kid, that they didn't at least swap it out to a Tympole or something... @@beeshrooms
The funny thing is I've seen a couple people say something in one of these videos was in the game manual, you've got your really interesting obscure game secrets and then you got stuff in a book that people didn't read, lol
The Draco Meteor thing in space is pretty cool, but Nature Power isn't the only thing that's affected by terrains. The move Camouflage allows the user to change types to match terrains, so they'll turn into rock types in caves or fire types in a volcano, stuff like that. That move also got updated in ORAS, so that the user would become dragon type if the move is used in space. So there's a couple move updates the Delta Episode brought to the table
Ooh, I knew the Nature Power in space one! I played through Alpha Sapphire with a super weak team- I'm talking Happiny, Feebas, Farfetch'd, Nosepass, Luvdisc, and Sunkern. And the Sunkern knew Nature Power, which I would use in certain battles to see what it'd become. Which means, yes, I got to witness my Sunkern using Draco Meteor against Deoxys in space. That was a _moment._
There is a very not-well-known glitch in the Generation 3 Pokémon games, specifically Emerald (I'm not sure about R/S) where if a player trades a Pokémon between the GBA and GameCube, an un-growable Cheri Berry will just randomly appear on a patch of loamy soil near the Berry Master's house. It will overwrite the berry you have there (bad news if that's your only Liechi Berry!!) and never grow, staying in the seed stage forever. It's also unable to be watered with the Wailmer Pail, and is a crazy annoyance for people with OCD like me. This officially crowns Cheri Berry with the title of "Worst Berry to Ever Exist in Pokémon"!
I can confirm this glitch is true! I traded Pokemon from XD Gale of Darkness on my old Emerald save file from about 10 years ago, and have a Cheri berry in the exact spot by the Berry Master's house. Cool find!
Near where she was. Where she was has a Beauty called Melissa with a lv.17 Goldeen. If you dig deep enough, you'd learn that a Beauty is used to represent Female Swimmers in Gen 1. Jaclyn swapped places with a Female Swimmer in ORAS/FRLG.
Great video as always! Personally, a very neat detail I noticed in Alpha Sapphire (although it's not really obscure I'm sure a lot of people know this, especially people who shiny hunted their starter like me): when you reach the end, of the game little static 3D scenes show the key moments of the game. In these scenes, there is of course your first rival battle. Well, the sprites used for the Pokémon actually match the data of your Pokémon and your rival's; in other words, if your starter was shiny, it'll also be shiny in the scene! I loved that, it reinforced the immersion of a long journey with my first Pokémon
I actually saw pokemon 4D as a kid! there were bubble effects, water being spayed, the chairs moved a bit when they were swimming through the water, i think there was even a "scent" at some point, either ocean spray or some other gag.
Did you see it in the U.S. or Japan? As far as I can tell (at least for the Oceans Adventure Pikachu short) there was only one place in the U.S. that showed it.
I think my favourite fact in this video has to be the last one regarding the Psychic trainer. It’s such a small insignificant detail but it clearly shows the care and passion that went into gen 3 as a whole; someone on the dev team remembered that one, out-of-the-way forgettable trainer and not only used her to tie the two sides of gen 3 together (at least in terms of lore/world building) but also preserved her original purpose of encouraging the player to explore every nook and cranny of those games.
Having worked at a movie theater years ago, I'd suggest contacting the filmmakers as they may keep archived movies/trailers/shorts. Not much to go by but I say it only because I had worked at a theater for 5 or so years and towards the end we needed an old specific trailer for some reason, the studio (i believe paramount) was able to provide it.
Oh my I can't believe Pikachu's Ocean Adventure is Lost Media now! I can't quite remember what was featured in it or where exactly I saw it as I was way too young, but I can recall this - I saw it at an event in Italy - Octillery would spout water on you and absolutely totally soak you, not even kidding, scared me as a kid x) - Yanmega would bat his wings against the camera and you'd feel the breeze coming from him - They attempted to mimic Pikachu's electricity by giving out small sporadic "wind hiccups" while he was doing the thing, but it just felt weird ahah - The glasses used were renowned for sometimes not working?? I clearly remember switching glasses with my father (he followed me in on multiple occasions to see the short) and he would check which one of the two would not work, and give me the functioning ones. They'd also force you to trash the glasses on your way out. I don't remember if we managed to smuggle a pair out by mistake but if we did we'll make sure to contact you with a picture ahah - The short included a "camera dive" into the ocean, where you could see the water pokémon in their "natural habitat". Can't remember how long it took up, but it was a sight to see in my opinion. If I happen to remember Anything else I'll make sure to update this comment, but that's it for now
Oh man, you remembered far more than I did! I happened to see it in the US. I only saw it one time, and I was only 7 or 8 years old, so I guess it makes sense I wouldn't remember it that well. Everything you're describing sounds accurate though. I'll put down what I remember about it here: My few main memories are of the "ride" portion of the short, with Pikachu & friends riding on Latias & Latios above the water and running into different Pokemon, then diving below and seeing all the Pokemon there. I believe it kept the pace pretty quick once the ride started, not dwelling on encounters with the wild Pokemon for too long. I especially remember Meowth's initial freakout of submerging, before saying he "forgot" it wouldn't be an issue on Latias & Latios. Meowth did a lot of commentary, which makes sense because he was the only speaking character in the entire short, so he had to basically say what every Pokemon was saying, and whatnot. Now that you mention the scene with Octillery, I remember the splashes of water being hilarious to my family. The sheer audacity to drench the audience for the sake of delivering the 4D experience was really funny back then, and it still is now. After looking online for what's around of the short, I see the treasure in the short was called the Wailord's Tear, which is probably why I remember a Wailord in the short. I seem to recall one making an appearance near the end...maybe guarding a chest on the seabed? Maybe unrelated to the treasure though, I can't remember for sure. I also recall some super cheesy song at the end...partially sung by Meowth, I'm pretty sure? Could be a dub thing. Actually, I would be very surprised if it wasn't. My parents took me there, and when heading there, I had NO idea about it. They kept it well under wraps, and lead me on into thinking we were just going to some furniture store (since I'm pretty sure the theater was part of a larger building), and I only learned there was a theater downstairs playing the short when I went inside and saw posters for it on the wall. Funny how I remember that more than the film! Guess it was one of those things that meant a lot to me as a kid.
@@Acheo_ I can't believe I forgot about the main point of the short & Meowth!! x) I was most surprised about reading that you saw it in a theater, no wonder they were better stocked with water! The amusement park I saw it at was simply having a pokémon event and as such didn't reeeally have anything of the sort, the movie was watchable from a small pokémon-themed makeshift tent (a big one, but still a tent). I can distinctly remember the water was more like a drizzle, it doesn't help that the amusement park wasn't a water based one either ahah Absolutely no memory of what wailord's treasure was though, huh... Maybe we'll never know
In Gen 1, if a confused Pokemon damages itself, it's counted as a Physical attack. Because of this, Counter will still activate and deal 2x the damage. The easiest way to do this is to have Counter & Confusion on Mr. Mime. Also, Gary's lvl 22 Gyarados has Hydro Pump
@@KopperNeoman you forget that Gen 1 was buggy as shit, so as far that code was concerned, either hitting yourself in confusion was counted as "Normal", _or_ the Alakazam was trying to use Recover on the turn this glorious mess came together, and the game code carried over Recover's move type. ...I can go on and on.

I have been noticing that TH-cam occasionally makes videos sound weird, and sometimes has no sound at all. I usually have to restart the app, my browser, or sometimes even my PC. It's apparently a RAM issue.
I have one I haven't seen yet. You can actually trigger a wild encounter on the very first tile that you walk on from the purity "circle" in Pokemon Tower in Red/Blue. Immediately after the battle ends, it will do the normal purify and heal team thing.
I found a pretty cool one recently! In Crystal, you get the Togepi egg, and once it hatches, Prof Elm asks you to come to his lab. Well, I didn't. Instead, I waited until I got all 8 badges. Then he calls saying he has a gift (the master ball) for you. Once I got to the lab (with Togepi in party), I wondered which text would show first, either his surprised egg text, or his master ball text. Turns out the master ball text was first, so the most recent text is what was shown. Then I talked to him again (without leaving the lab) and the egg text appeared.
if you do an entrance randomizer, if you manage to get back to Elm, even if you're the champion or pretty far in the game, you still get the cop there asking for the name of your rival lol. Entrance randomizers makes some crazy stuff happen out of order
@@nostalgicumbry3279Speaking of the cop in Gen 2, I wasn't in the habit of reading prompt text back then so when I was asked for the rival's name I went "How the heck am I supposed to know? His name is UNKNOWN." For the rest of the game thereafter the rival will forever be known as UNKNOWN. You'd expect this to be a mistake someone makes when they were 6, right? Not me. I was 17. I was playing on my modded graphing calculator.
@@Moonstone-Redux One time i named my Rival Brock for s&gs, then restarted the game because i was scared Brock wouldnt be at his gym when i got there 🤣
About unique interactions of Nature Power: The Shoal Cave Depths are a very small area. It's literally just a single room. If you use Nature Power there it turns into Ice Age! (Edit: The correct English name of the Move is Glaciate.) 😮 As I came across it whilst hunting for a shiny Snorunt I was dumbfounded. Another thing about Jaclyn that just surprised me just now: I doubt I ever saw an NPC doing this little hopping animation.
The hopping animation is done when they agree to a rematch when you use the VS Seeker. Almost every overworld trainer sprite in FRLG has an animation for it. But some trainers (mostly swimming sprites, iirc) just raise their hands until you leave the area or battle them.
@@graceholbert2126 A mistake on my part. Kyurem's Trademark Move is known as "Eiszeit" here in Germany. So I assumed it would be "Ice Age" in English. It's Glaciate instead. That's still a legendary trademark move summoned by Nature Power though.
The mic test menu reminds me of one of those easter egg / debug combos. It's such an obscure feature too. In funfest missions, you can unlock level 4 missions by pressing 'Select, Down, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up, Up, Select' on the missions screen
I’ve got one ever seen, and where else for the X and Y capture tutorial it will register the bunny as seen in the Pokédex afterwards. However, it doesn’t register the one you actually see because if you see a shiny one for the tutorial, it will still register you having seeing a regular one and not the shiny version.
Honestly that last one blew my mind. Lately the community has started unraveling small hidden details like this which makes you appreciate those games even more.
Frankly, I’m greatly impressed you haven’t run the well dry on Pokémon facts yet. How have we not found all there is to find yet?? Keep up the good work!

6:33 About the 3 poke front sprites in red/blue, there IS a way to see them WITHOUT doing link cable battle or looking at summary screen If you do the missingno glitch after beating champion then your hall of fame in the PC becomes glitched & shows random poke, including glitchmon, rather than your hall of fame poke This also works if you beat the champion with a glitchmon then the hall of fame shows random poke I remember doing this and randomly seeing a golem front sprite and thinking his front sprite looked very weird
One thing I have never seen anywhere else after finding it myself, is that in generation 6, you can see an outline of Lunala in the form of a constellation int he psychic gyms ceiling
Hey man, there's something up with your microphone. You sound like you're recording in a barrel. I checked your previous videos and the sound was definitely clearer in them, so I think you might have some encoding or software issue.
I got one some people probably know, but it matters in competitive. If a flying type uses roost, it loses the flying type. BUT if a PURE flying type uses roost, it becomes normal type. This means it will become immune to ghost and weak to fighting, even though something like a zapdos would just be hit neutral by both. So you can actually dodge shadow balls if you want to use a rookidee for some reason
To add onto this, this interaction starts in Gen V. In Gen IV, a pure Flying type using Roost would become the ??? type. The interaction was never seen because there were no pure Flying types aside from Arceus, who was incapable of learning Roost.
@@glitchyglitchy3925it's weird because i'm pretty sure burn-up on a pure fire type does turn you into effectively the ??? type with everything hitting you for neutral damage.
Woah, I had no idea about that Jaclyn story. And yeah, it took me a very long time before noticing her in Sapphire. I think the only one of these I knew was the FRLG Biberal / Staravia because I decided to look up every pokemon you can get with Gen 3 games inserted.
Here’s one: in DPP, you can go to the Pokédex cry soundboard, and if you hold down the spinning part of the pokeball while the cry is playing, it’ll slow it down in a way that makes it a new cry altogether (setting the cry on repeat is recommended)!
I love these videos dude. You have a great voice, videos are alway structured very well and as a life long pokemon player, what you and now your viewers find makes me say wtf. Thanks brother
regarding those "unseen sprites" in gen 1 - you'd see them when you evolve the pokemon yourself, and if you check the pokedex. definitely still less 'visible' than most other sprites but not 'unused' by any stretch
I'd argue the only one that could be completely unviewable would be Golem if we're assuming someone is playing solo and doesnt have another cartridge + system/friend to trade with. Still not "unused" but in the context of how most people would be playing these games these days, it'd be inaccessible entirely.
Somehow growing up every time I looked up info on dual-slot encounters for DPPt I missed that it was only after you beat the game, and I cannot tell you the number of hours I now know were fully wasted trying to find Growlithe and Gengar 😢
I thought you had to have beaten the Elite Four first before you could utilize the dual-slot feature...? Or am I mistaken? 🤔 It's been *_forever_* since I had the ability to use that feature, so I most definitely could just be misremembering that.
Feels great to hear a fact that I knew. (The last fact about the psychic trainer) Pokemon games got me so into exploring the maps. Idt there's a single tile that I haven't walked on, nor a single tree or rock that I haven't tried to interact with
The staravia and Barbarel could be a reference to Pokémon yellow where you‘re able to obtain a level 9 pidgeotto from veridian forest I won‘t deny that it‘s not a really plausible answer but the reference could be that Pokémon can sometimes be evolved at much lover levels
the first one i actually discovered when i was playing around with advancemap back in 2011 lol failsafes are really neat to discover, like the girl in pallet town who makes sure you know how to open your menu, and the rustboro rival fight in emerald being moved to mr. briney's house if you black out and end up anywhere else other than rustboro
If you somehow manage to leave the truck in RSE without walking on any of the normally accessible tiles to the right, you'll walk out of a house in Petalburg City instead
I recall a thing happening to in Fire Red. I recall after unlocking the Unown islands, some of the Unown couldn't damage Dougong. Which letter could and couldn't damage Dougong was consistent. Reddit theorized my game may have had a cartrage exclusive bug that prevented x8 damage as Dougong with Thick Fat is x8 resistant to Ice. But that caused an additional problem as Hidden Power types are not mutually exclusive to forms. A different equally weird thing in Fire Red, is in the Sevii Islands, the north end of Three Island has a bridge, surfing off the north side of the bridge is a trainer with a normal swimmer sprite. However, her dialogue implies you caught her skinny dipping. Such as beating her she claims she doesn't have clothes on because a Pokemon bit them off of her.
I'm confused what's special about the Golem/Clefable/Poliwrayh sprite. Is it just that no trainers have them, and that you don't encounter them in the wild?
Whoaaaa, I remember Psychic Jackie because her hiding place in Sapphire was entertaining to me as a kid, but I had no idea she shows up again in FRLG, that's so cool!
Really like going for your fans as the crowdsourced nature means some really cool stuff will come up whereas your well wasn't starting to run dry, but certainly stretching a little bit. I think keep it up!
I love the Pokémon fan base. I wonder how many of us ran into some of these secrets/glitches as little kids and didn’t realize what they were and certain secrets just going unreported.
The Dive thing is really cool but isn't super surprising given that they fixed a sequence break in FRLG involving trading a Pokemon with Cut early to skip having to go to Bill's house and aboard the SS Anne. It seems that sequence break was common enough in Gen 1 that Game Freak was well aware of the possibility of sequence breaking via trading Pokemon with HM moves by the time Gen 3 rolled around.
Here's one I just learned from DeltaSeeker's video "Is Phantom Venusaur impossible?". In the original Pokemon TCG game, it's impossible to get Phantom Venusaur through card pop. The two functions they use can never output for Venusaur, and no one caught it.
Ngl I’ve never heard of any of these things . Considering most of the time I see “obscure Pokémon facts” I already know them I’m honestly pleased by this video. Thanks :)
Amazing content, it's always nice to hear fresh new discoveries about pokemon. The only thing I maybe would recommend is a better mic, it is sometimes a bit hard to understand you. I believe it also would catapult your already good quality even higher too.
its actually really cool to see a pokemon facts video with stuff I didn't know before feels like I've seen a lot of them that just reuse the same like 20 facts
the "unused sprites" one seemed like a weird fit for this video. they're not actually unused... and who doesn't check the summary screen at least once. loved the rest of them though!

I remember doing this as a kid, just running a new save file and used one of my brothers pokemon with dive. Transfer it over and boom, i found something cool.
interestingly, emerald removed the dive failsafe. instead, an aqua grunt blocks seafloor cavern's entrance until you obtain the hm.
Probably done in case you end up in a place like Sootopolis and release or re-trade the Pokemon you obtained to skip the HM in the first place.
@@rickyi3523 no, its nothing to do with softlock prevention. that is the same as in rs. the emerald change is simply to keep you from progressing the story with a traded diver.
@@amiosi and the game doesn't want you to progress with a traded diver for the reasons listed by Ricki
@@unyoshisauvageapparait9260 oh, true. wasn't thinking of it in that way.
Interesting! I'm willing to bet more people encountered that new failsafe than the old one, since some of the people who might have skipped getting dive initially (a small amount, I assume) still would have visited Steven's home randomly before making it into the Hall of Fame rather than ending up with the failsafe triggering
Good to know Psychic Jaclyn managed to escape the Cycling Road.
The horrific purgatory some NPCs seem to go through always creeped me out.
Shoutout to zone
Shame she forced a Beauty called Melissa in her place (in ORAS, she was replaced with a Goldeen using Beauty, which seemed out of place until you realise Jaclyn ended up on the Sevii Islands. If you played Gen 1, they used the Beauty class to represent female swimmers).
@@Halkel2k6 oh wow, i love this neat detail..
Imagine trying to go home and ending up in another region of the world
In "Pokemon: Destiny Deoxys", there's a trainer with a Metagross named Rebecca. In DPP, on Route 224 (the easy to miss route AFTER Victory Road), there's a trainer named Rebecca with a Metagross.
She is named Jamie in the English DPPt versions because the translators didn't realize that it was supposed to be an Easter egg.
The same thing happened with two trainers on Route 229 based on Butler and Diane from Jirachi: Wish Maker, they got named Felix and Dana
@@TheForeverRangerI like that gamefreak translators apparently thought Rebecca was too japanese of a name
So the Metagross named Rebecca was replaced with a trainer named Rebecca?
That is the exact wording used. 😂
Here's a Gen 2 fun fact I don't know if you've covered. In the Goldenrod Game Corner in GSC, there's an NPC in front of one slot machine who says "I always play this machine, it seems to win more often!" You might think it's just flavor text, but this NPC is only there in the afternoon & night time. If you go in the morning, he's gone and you can use his slot machine, which actually does have a slightly higher chance of winning.
I don't remember hearing this from any general "pokemon facts" videos before and I only learned it from reading a deep dive into the exact mechanics & probabilities of the game corner in different pokemon games :)
That's pretty cool that it's time of day dependent.
god, I ALWAYS wondered if that was just flavor text! thanks!
I've taken advantage of that to farm coins for a Thunder TM
Makes sense, I vaguely remember another NPC saying "I think these machines have different odds"
I remember hitting big on that machine, I built up a lot of coins
I wish you had shown the dialog for Jaclyn in RSE, because she talks about teleporting home when you beat her--which is what leads to here teleporting into FRLG
No she doesn't
Really cool video as always :D
Btw about 5:40, underleveled Pokemon exist in every generation and there is a Bulbapedia page named "Underleveled Pokemon" which lists all of them.
The funniest ones for me to imagine are the monstrous final evolutions in the single digits, like the Lvl.5 Machamp in Crystal ; the Lvl.6 Gallade in DP ; the Lvl.3 Charizard in Let's go or the two famous Lvl.9 Salamence in S/M and Lvl.1 Gyarados in B/W
I do love me that level 3 Electrode trade in Kanto
The Level 5 Machamp is from Yellow (Traded from a Cubone)
Pokemon Go randomizes a pokemon's level when you transfer it to Home, I've got a level 3 Aggron because of it lol
@@phyllotaxisI thought a pokemon's CP in go determines it's level when transfered
@@nooternootey9666 Could be, I wasn't keeping track of that
Another fun thing about Nature Power is that it also has a thing when in Ultra Space in gen 7. It becomes Psyshock.
the clefable, poliwrath and golem sprites are also seen when evolving clefairy, poliwhirl, and graveler, so realistically, anyone who's used these pokemon has seen these sprites before.
Except for the fact Graveler is a trade evo
So while it can be pretty expected that the odd casual player may end up getting a Clefairy or Poliwag and getting them evolved up to Clefable and Poliwrath, respectively, unless they've got a friend and a Link Cable, they'd basically never see Golem's sprite on their own
@@subaruanonIt's similar to a linked battle.
@@subaruanon
The point, besides the fact that, yes, linking up to another game inherently makes the potential obscurity of the sprites irrelevant [good luck feasibly doing that in our current year of 2023 by the way], is that the OP comment was basically saying "If you've used Clefairy, Poliwag/Poliwhirl, or Geodude/Graveler, you'll have been bound to see these sprites through evolving anyway", when you cannot evolve Graveler alone
And the issue of being alone is kind of the big deal here because that's why the sprites of these 3 are "obscure", because as Phin says in the video, you never find these 3 in the wild or from an NPC
Although ultimately, the more interesting thing about the fact is it means Golem can never be registered as seen, let alone caught, in a solo copy of Red or western Blue, which I think makes it the only Pokemon in those games like that [there are plenty others in a given playthrough, but most of what ends up being "unseen" tends to be a result of player choice, meanwhile Graveler's always gonna have that blank spot beneath it unless you pull put the funny cable]
I did specify _western_ Blue because, interestingly, in the Japanese version of Blue, you actually *can* get a Golem in a single copy!
The old man in the Pokemon Lab who offers an Electrode for a Raichu in most other versions will instead offer a Graveler for a Kadabra
Again though, only in the Japanese version of Blue
@@subaruanonyou should maybe read their whole comment
@@WhimsicottFanaticYou can still see and catch the trade evolutions in the wild with the Ditto glitch, at least. I’m doing that to fill my Yellow Pokedex solo. Just saw the Golem sprite a few days ago.
The story for Jaclyn seems to go far deeper than you claim. Looking up Cycling Road In ORAS, Jaclyn was replaced with a Beauty called Melissa. Her pokemon is a lv.17 Goldeen where Jaclyn use to be.
If you look back at Gen 1, Route 19 and 20 has Beauty and Swimmer Classes swimming. This means... Jaclyn swapped places with Melissa when she teleported to the Sevii Islands.
Ooo interesting ✨
So they basically remembered what they did in frlg and thought let’s make even more of it for ORAS
Speaking about hidden Nature power interraction : in D/P/Pt the move is supposed to turn into Mud bomb when used on a marsh tile, however this type of tile can only be found inside the Great marsh were fighting is impossible making the interraction unusable under normal circumstances.
There are marsh tiles to the West of the city where there are trainers, it's a rainy route, you can probably trigger it there
its route 212, i forget if you can have encounters in the marsh tiles themselves, i know in the great marsh you can
@@YourFriendlyKebabIIRC those mud tiles don’t spawn wild Pokémon unlike the Great Marsh, and none of the trainers are close enough to the mud to trigger their fight
The mic test isn't obscure if you read the manual, as I did as a kid to every game I bought. I liked messing with the mic test before playing sometimes.
it's also basically copy-pasted (just with a different background) into Black and White's title menu if I remember correctly.
Yes, actually, it is! Even down to the Jigglypuff! I thought it was odd, as a kid, that they didn't at least swap it out to a Tympole or something... @@beeshrooms
the irony
The funny thing is I've seen a couple people say something in one of these videos was in the game manual, you've got your really interesting obscure game secrets and then you got stuff in a book that people didn't read, lol
The Draco Meteor thing in space is pretty cool, but Nature Power isn't the only thing that's affected by terrains. The move Camouflage allows the user to change types to match terrains, so they'll turn into rock types in caves or fire types in a volcano, stuff like that. That move also got updated in ORAS, so that the user would become dragon type if the move is used in space. So there's a couple move updates the Delta Episode brought to the table
So space = dragon type for gamefreak. Always figured it would be psychic.
Ooh, I knew the Nature Power in space one! I played through Alpha Sapphire with a super weak team- I'm talking Happiny, Feebas, Farfetch'd, Nosepass, Luvdisc, and Sunkern. And the Sunkern knew Nature Power, which I would use in certain battles to see what it'd become. Which means, yes, I got to witness my Sunkern using Draco Meteor against Deoxys in space. That was a _moment._
That image is fantastic! 😂
There is a very not-well-known glitch in the Generation 3 Pokémon games, specifically Emerald (I'm not sure about R/S) where if a player trades a Pokémon between the GBA and GameCube, an un-growable Cheri Berry will just randomly appear on a patch of loamy soil near the Berry Master's house. It will overwrite the berry you have there (bad news if that's your only Liechi Berry!!) and never grow, staying in the seed stage forever. It's also unable to be watered with the Wailmer Pail, and is a crazy annoyance for people with OCD like me. This officially crowns Cheri Berry with the title of "Worst Berry to Ever Exist in Pokémon"!
I can confirm this glitch is true! I traded Pokemon from XD Gale of Darkness on my old Emerald save file from about 10 years ago, and have a Cheri berry in the exact spot by the Berry Master's house. Cool find!
The HM08 Dive failsafe is ridiculously cool
I’m pretty sure in oras Jaclyn’s spot has an alakazamite, which is another fun piece of the story
Sadly I think it was a manectricite when I found her spot on accident but I might be remembering it wrong.
No, it's Manectite. Alakazite is in the Slateport Market. That would've been cool though...
Near where she was. Where she was has a Beauty called Melissa with a lv.17 Goldeen. If you dig deep enough, you'd learn that a Beauty is used to represent Female Swimmers in Gen 1. Jaclyn swapped places with a Female Swimmer in ORAS/FRLG.
ooo the Jaclyn lore is getting deeper@@Halkel2k6
Great video as always!
Personally, a very neat detail I noticed in Alpha Sapphire (although it's not really obscure I'm sure a lot of people know this, especially people who shiny hunted their starter like me): when you reach the end, of the game little static 3D scenes show the key moments of the game. In these scenes, there is of course your first rival battle. Well, the sprites used for the Pokémon actually match the data of your Pokémon and your rival's; in other words, if your starter was shiny, it'll also be shiny in the scene! I loved that, it reinforced the immersion of a long journey with my first Pokémon
I actually saw pokemon 4D as a kid! there were bubble effects, water being spayed, the chairs moved a bit when they were swimming through the water, i think there was even a "scent" at some point, either ocean spray or some other gag.
Getting splashed at the movie theater sounds annoying
It's more fun when you're a kid I guess, the parents probably hated it lol.@@emperortgp2424
@@emperortgp2424if you go to a 4D showing, it's a given that physical effects happen
I saw it as well, I even still have the glasses and my brother recorded it so I have it on DVD
Did you see it in the U.S. or Japan? As far as I can tell (at least for the Oceans Adventure Pikachu short) there was only one place in the U.S. that showed it.
I think my favourite fact in this video has to be the last one regarding the Psychic trainer. It’s such a small insignificant detail but it clearly shows the care and passion that went into gen 3 as a whole; someone on the dev team remembered that one, out-of-the-way forgettable trainer and not only used her to tie the two sides of gen 3 together (at least in terms of lore/world building) but also preserved her original purpose of encouraging the player to explore every nook and cranny of those games.
I wonder if they've carried that on into any of the Switch titles! Like of any of the NPCs from SwSh or Scarlet/Violet appear in other games
Having worked at a movie theater years ago, I'd suggest contacting the filmmakers as they may keep archived movies/trailers/shorts. Not much to go by but I say it only because I had worked at a theater for 5 or so years and towards the end we needed an old specific trailer for some reason, the studio (i believe paramount) was able to provide it.
Oh my I can't believe Pikachu's Ocean Adventure is Lost Media now!
I can't quite remember what was featured in it or where exactly I saw it as I was way too young, but I can recall this
- I saw it at an event in Italy
- Octillery would spout water on you and absolutely totally soak you, not even kidding, scared me as a kid x)
- Yanmega would bat his wings against the camera and you'd feel the breeze coming from him
- They attempted to mimic Pikachu's electricity by giving out small sporadic "wind hiccups" while he was doing the thing, but it just felt weird ahah
- The glasses used were renowned for sometimes not working?? I clearly remember switching glasses with my father (he followed me in on multiple occasions to see the short) and he would check which one of the two would not work, and give me the functioning ones. They'd also force you to trash the glasses on your way out. I don't remember if we managed to smuggle a pair out by mistake but if we did we'll make sure to contact you with a picture ahah
- The short included a "camera dive" into the ocean, where you could see the water pokémon in their "natural habitat". Can't remember how long it took up, but it was a sight to see in my opinion.
If I happen to remember Anything else I'll make sure to update this comment, but that's it for now
Oh man, you remembered far more than I did! I happened to see it in the US. I only saw it one time, and I was only 7 or 8 years old, so I guess it makes sense I wouldn't remember it that well. Everything you're describing sounds accurate though. I'll put down what I remember about it here:
My few main memories are of the "ride" portion of the short, with Pikachu & friends riding on Latias & Latios above the water and running into different Pokemon, then diving below and seeing all the Pokemon there. I believe it kept the pace pretty quick once the ride started, not dwelling on encounters with the wild Pokemon for too long. I especially remember Meowth's initial freakout of submerging, before saying he "forgot" it wouldn't be an issue on Latias & Latios. Meowth did a lot of commentary, which makes sense because he was the only speaking character in the entire short, so he had to basically say what every Pokemon was saying, and whatnot. Now that you mention the scene with Octillery, I remember the splashes of water being hilarious to my family. The sheer audacity to drench the audience for the sake of delivering the 4D experience was really funny back then, and it still is now.
After looking online for what's around of the short, I see the treasure in the short was called the Wailord's Tear, which is probably why I remember a Wailord in the short. I seem to recall one making an appearance near the end...maybe guarding a chest on the seabed? Maybe unrelated to the treasure though, I can't remember for sure. I also recall some super cheesy song at the end...partially sung by Meowth, I'm pretty sure? Could be a dub thing. Actually, I would be very surprised if it wasn't.
My parents took me there, and when heading there, I had NO idea about it. They kept it well under wraps, and lead me on into thinking we were just going to some furniture store (since I'm pretty sure the theater was part of a larger building), and I only learned there was a theater downstairs playing the short when I went inside and saw posters for it on the wall. Funny how I remember that more than the film! Guess it was one of those things that meant a lot to me as a kid.
@@Acheo_ I can't believe I forgot about the main point of the short & Meowth!! x)
I was most surprised about reading that you saw it in a theater, no wonder they were better stocked with water! The amusement park I saw it at was simply having a pokémon event and as such didn't reeeally have anything of the sort, the movie was watchable from a small pokémon-themed makeshift tent (a big one, but still a tent). I can distinctly remember the water was more like a drizzle, it doesn't help that the amusement park wasn't a water based one either ahah
Absolutely no memory of what wailord's treasure was though, huh... Maybe we'll never know
Wasn’t it a short at the start on the Mewtwo VHS?
@@aireuh51no that was a different Pikachu adventure looking after togepi
feels like one of those rides in Disneyland with the whole gang with the same concept.
In Gen 1, if a confused Pokemon damages itself, it's counted as a Physical attack.
Because of this, Counter will still activate and deal 2x the damage. The easiest way to do this is to have Counter & Confusion on Mr. Mime.
Also, Gary's lvl 22 Gyarados has Hydro Pump
With Gen 1 counter, it would have to be Normal or Fighting, not merely Physical.
@@KopperNeoman you forget that Gen 1 was buggy as shit, so as far that code was concerned, either hitting yourself in confusion was counted as "Normal", _or_ the Alakazam was trying to use Recover on the turn this glorious mess came together, and the game code carried over Recover's move type.
...I can go on and on.

I don't know if it's just me that is having trouble hearing you in this video, but you sound a bit muffled to me.
Sounds fine on my end, so try the video on either your phone/PC(whichever you aren't using)
Yeah i noticed it too, i was thinking he must be a bit sick
It definitely sounds muffled to me
the sound quality definitely sounded off to me
I have been noticing that TH-cam occasionally makes videos sound weird, and sometimes has no sound at all. I usually have to restart the app, my browser, or sometimes even my PC. It's apparently a RAM issue.
I have one I haven't seen yet. You can actually trigger a wild encounter on the very first tile that you walk on from the purity "circle" in Pokemon Tower in Red/Blue. Immediately after the battle ends, it will do the normal purify and heal team thing.
I found a pretty cool one recently! In Crystal, you get the Togepi egg, and once it hatches, Prof Elm asks you to come to his lab.
Well, I didn't. Instead, I waited until I got all 8 badges. Then he calls saying he has a gift (the master ball) for you.
Once I got to the lab (with Togepi in party), I wondered which text would show first, either his surprised egg text, or his master ball text.
Turns out the master ball text was first, so the most recent text is what was shown. Then I talked to him again (without leaving the lab) and the egg text appeared.
if you do an entrance randomizer, if you manage to get back to Elm, even if you're the champion or pretty far in the game, you still get the cop there asking for the name of your rival lol. Entrance randomizers makes some crazy stuff happen out of order
@@nostalgicumbry3279 that's awesome!
@@nostalgicumbry3279Speaking of the cop in Gen 2, I wasn't in the habit of reading prompt text back then so when I was asked for the rival's name I went "How the heck am I supposed to know? His name is UNKNOWN."
For the rest of the game thereafter the rival will forever be known as UNKNOWN.
You'd expect this to be a mistake someone makes when they were 6, right? Not me. I was 17. I was playing on my modded graphing calculator.
@@Moonstone-Redux One time i named my Rival Brock for s&gs, then restarted the game because i was scared Brock wouldnt be at his gym when i got there 🤣

About unique interactions of Nature Power: The Shoal Cave Depths are a very small area. It's literally just a single room.
If you use Nature Power there it turns into Ice Age! (Edit: The correct English name of the Move is Glaciate.) 😮
As I came across it whilst hunting for a shiny Snorunt I was dumbfounded.
Another thing about Jaclyn that just surprised me just now: I doubt I ever saw an NPC doing this little hopping animation.
The hopping animation is done when they agree to a rematch when you use the VS Seeker.
Almost every overworld trainer sprite in FRLG has an animation for it. But some trainers (mostly swimming sprites, iirc) just raise their hands until you leave the area or battle them.
What is Ice Age?
@@graceholbert2126 A mistake on my part. Kyurem's Trademark Move is known as "Eiszeit" here in Germany. So I assumed it would be "Ice Age" in English. It's Glaciate instead. That's still a legendary trademark move summoned by Nature Power though.
@@catriamflockentanz Whoa, yeah, that's wild!
@@catriamflockentanz This also seems to be entirely undocumented as I can't find any information on it elsewhere on the internet.
The mic test menu reminds me of one of those easter egg / debug combos. It's such an obscure feature too. In funfest missions, you can unlock level 4 missions by pressing 'Select, Down, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up, Up, Select' on the missions screen
I’ve got one ever seen, and where else for the X and Y capture tutorial it will register the bunny as seen in the Pokédex afterwards. However, it doesn’t register the one you actually see because if you see a shiny one for the tutorial, it will still register you having seeing a regular one and not the shiny version.
It's always an excellent day when a new BlueBoyPhin video comes out!
Honestly that last one blew my mind. Lately the community has started unraveling small hidden details like this which makes you appreciate those games even more.
I was only aware of psychic Jaclyn, but I didn’t know she was also in LG/FR, that’s so dope
Frankly, I’m greatly impressed you haven’t run the well dry on Pokémon facts yet. How have we not found all there is to find yet?? Keep up the good work!

Will you eventually showcase all the cool and weird Pokemon fishing merchandise? Including the, no joke, 1000 dollar Shiny Kyogre fishing lure? I did send an email a while ago about it. I hope you got it. :)

Yo I did the Nature Power in space! I used Camerupt on my team and taught it Nature Power for all the fun moves it could become.
6:33 About the 3 poke front sprites in red/blue, there IS a way to see them WITHOUT doing link cable battle or looking at summary screen
If you do the missingno glitch after beating champion then your hall of fame in the PC becomes glitched & shows random poke, including glitchmon, rather than your hall of fame poke
This also works if you beat the champion with a glitchmon then the hall of fame shows random poke
I remember doing this and randomly seeing a golem front sprite and thinking his front sprite looked very weird
My favorite part of your videos is the nostalgic ape escape music ☺️
One thing I have never seen anywhere else after finding it myself, is that in generation 6, you can see an outline of Lunala in the form of a constellation int he psychic gyms ceiling
I saw a playthrough of the Gym, and if I'm looking at the same constellation, it looks more like a Lunatone.
Hey man, there's something up with your microphone. You sound like you're recording in a barrel. I checked your previous videos and the sound was definitely clearer in them, so I think you might have some encoding or software issue.
I love the Psychic Jacqueline part, as I remember running into that NPC and battling her myself.
Brilliant video as always, Phin.
T
I got one some people probably know, but it matters in competitive. If a flying type uses roost, it loses the flying type. BUT if a PURE flying type uses roost, it becomes normal type. This means it will become immune to ghost and weak to fighting, even though something like a zapdos would just be hit neutral by both. So you can actually dodge shadow balls if you want to use a rookidee for some reason
To add onto this, this interaction starts in Gen V. In Gen IV, a pure Flying type using Roost would become the ??? type. The interaction was never seen because there were no pure Flying types aside from Arceus, who was incapable of learning Roost.
@@glitchyglitchy3925it's weird because i'm pretty sure burn-up on a pure fire type does turn you into effectively the ??? type with everything hitting you for neutral damage.
@@DerToasti Yes, they basically removed it only to bring it back later lol
Woah, I had no idea about that Jaclyn story. And yeah, it took me a very long time before noticing her in Sapphire.
I think the only one of these I knew was the FRLG Biberal / Staravia because I decided to look up every pokemon you can get with Gen 3 games inserted.
Here’s one: in DPP, you can go to the Pokédex cry soundboard, and if you hold down the spinning part of the pokeball while the cry is playing, it’ll slow it down in a way that makes it a new cry altogether (setting the cry on repeat is recommended)!
I love these videos dude. You have a great voice, videos are alway structured very well and as a life long pokemon player, what you and now your viewers find makes me say wtf. Thanks brother
regarding those "unseen sprites" in gen 1 - you'd see them when you evolve the pokemon yourself, and if you check the pokedex. definitely still less 'visible' than most other sprites but not 'unused' by any stretch
I'd argue the only one that could be completely unviewable would be Golem if we're assuming someone is playing solo and doesnt have another cartridge + system/friend to trade with. Still not "unused" but in the context of how most people would be playing these games these days, it'd be inaccessible entirely.
Somehow growing up every time I looked up info on dual-slot encounters for DPPt I missed that it was only after you beat the game, and I cannot tell you the number of hours I now know were fully wasted trying to find Growlithe and Gengar 😢
5:30 Ok thank you for this explanation. I thought my game was bugged when i caught Lvl.4 Staravia there at start of the game.
I thought you had to have beaten the Elite Four first before you could utilize the dual-slot feature...? Or am I mistaken? 🤔
It's been *_forever_* since I had the ability to use that feature, so I most definitely could just be misremembering that.
Feels great to hear a fact that I knew. (The last fact about the psychic trainer)
Pokemon games got me so into exploring the maps. Idt there's a single tile that I haven't walked on, nor a single tree or rock that I haven't tried to interact with
god i love these videos. it’s so fun to see what the community can uncover together❤️
With the front sprite thing, you could also see them if a ditto happened to transform into one of those specific mon
for those interested, the music used at the start is Blood Moon Reflections by Ne0n Cub3
The staravia and Barbarel could be a reference to Pokémon yellow where you‘re able to obtain a level 9 pidgeotto from veridian forest
I won‘t deny that it‘s not a really plausible answer but the reference could be that Pokémon can sometimes be evolved at much lover levels
New mic? Istg it isn't the same person talking as in every other video
He calibrated it with heart gold
Love the obscure community! Can never get enough of these
10:38 I was NOT expecting Sheep Raider music in this video! Excellent taste. 👌
Great video as always!
Did you change your mic? Your voice sounds a bit weird in this video.
the first one i actually discovered when i was playing around with advancemap back in 2011 lol
failsafes are really neat to discover, like the girl in pallet town who makes sure you know how to open your menu, and the rustboro rival fight in emerald being moved to mr. briney's house if you black out and end up anywhere else other than rustboro
If you somehow manage to leave the truck in RSE without walking on any of the normally accessible tiles to the right, you'll walk out of a house in Petalburg City instead
I recall a thing happening to in Fire Red.
I recall after unlocking the Unown islands, some of the Unown couldn't damage Dougong.
Which letter could and couldn't damage Dougong was consistent.
Reddit theorized my game may have had a cartrage exclusive bug that prevented x8 damage as Dougong with Thick Fat is x8 resistant to Ice. But that caused an additional problem as Hidden Power types are not mutually exclusive to forms.
A different equally weird thing in Fire Red, is in the Sevii Islands, the north end of Three Island has a bridge, surfing off the north side of the bridge is a trainer with a normal swimmer sprite. However, her dialogue implies you caught her skinny dipping. Such as beating her she claims she doesn't have clothes on because a Pokemon bit them off of her.
Holy moly, the Dive fact was neat!
Every time Phin uploads we know we got a good video ahead of us
I’ve seen lots of these videos before, but never have I actually not heard every single fact before. Great video!
I'm confused what's special about the Golem/Clefable/Poliwrayh sprite. Is it just that no trainers have them, and that you don't encounter them in the wild?
Both.
They're actually old sprites from before the US release of Pokémon. For some reason, they only pop up in link battles.
Whoaaaa, I remember Psychic Jackie because her hiding place in Sapphire was entertaining to me as a kid, but I had no idea she shows up again in FRLG, that's so cool!
Really like going for your fans as the crowdsourced nature means some really cool stuff will come up whereas your well wasn't starting to run dry, but certainly stretching a little bit. I think keep it up!
I enjoy every one of your videos in this series.
Love your videos, man. They hit such a special, nostalgic note.
love that you played system shock 2 music. goated!
Great video! Loving the drive for discovering more hidden details and glitches. Ill be submitting a few super soon. Cant wait for the next one
FINALLY! A new video! Been waiting for one!
the mic check feature is how i found out my ds mic was broken and my nintendogs would never hear my voice again :{
I love the Pokémon fan base. I wonder how many of us ran into some of these secrets/glitches as little kids and didn’t realize what they were and certain secrets just going unreported.
The Dive thing is really cool but isn't super surprising given that they fixed a sequence break in FRLG involving trading a Pokemon with Cut early to skip having to go to Bill's house and aboard the SS Anne. It seems that sequence break was common enough in Gen 1 that Game Freak was well aware of the possibility of sequence breaking via trading Pokemon with HM moves by the time Gen 3 rolled around.
Just fought against jaclyn in leaf green on thursday lol now this fight is even cooler
i've yet to see one of these videos from you where by the end i haven't learned at least one new thing. keep up the great work ^^
Here's one I just learned from DeltaSeeker's video "Is Phantom Venusaur impossible?". In the original Pokemon TCG game, it's impossible to get Phantom Venusaur through card pop. The two functions they use can never output for Venusaur, and no one caught it.

Haha! I submitted the sign in black and white 2. Thank you!!!
Ngl I’ve never heard of any of these things . Considering most of the time I see “obscure Pokémon facts” I already know them I’m honestly pleased by this video. Thanks :)
Am i the only one who thinks the audio is a little too fuzzy?
There's definitely alot of low end. it's very bass-y
Amazing content, it's always nice to hear fresh new discoveries about pokemon. The only thing I maybe would recommend is a better mic, it is sometimes a bit hard to understand you. I believe it also would catapult your already good quality even higher too.

Fun video!!! The Steven Stone one is so cool!!!!
its actually really cool to see a pokemon facts video with stuff I didn't know before feels like I've seen a lot of them that just reuse the same like 20 facts
It's not often that I hear new facts about pokemon, but I didn't know about most of these! Love it!
This video alone deserves a like and a subscription 100%
the "unused sprites" one seemed like a weird fit for this video. they're not actually unused... and who doesn't check the summary screen at least once. loved the rest of them though!
Psychic Jaclyn actually has the same name in Japanese across RSE and FRLG too. Bulbapedia says she is in Emerald, though.
For the clefable/golem/poliwrath sprites, they'd also be used if you fought a ditto with those pokemon
I just randomly found you and this was really cool to learn about
thank you for sharing 😃😄
That last one was super nostalgic. I remember that connection blowing my mind as a kid
Another great video Phin, thank you!
