Double edge sword of a new NTMA Pokemon Retrospective video finally coming out to enjoy but then knowing you gotta wait at least a few months for the next one.
Got a 2ds in 2019 and Omega Ruby was like 3rd game I got and was pleasantly surprised. It couldve been a bit more difficult but the story was kool and the map was great
Shoutout to Deoxys for being the first Mythical Pokémon to be legitimately catchable in-game without special events or glitches; a trend that continued in SwSh, L:A, and SV. …too bad it’s now banished to the PoGo dimension if you didn’t shill out for Pokémon Home before Pokémon Bank shut down.
USUM also had Magearna via QR Code! Not catchable, but obtainable, permanently, forever, not to mention Legends Arceus making everyone available, with some caveats. Deoxys was a real trailblazer.
I literally never comment on videos but like genuinely I can't understand how such great content has so few views. I hope your channel blows up man, this is amazing content.
These were my first games since pokemon crystal like 20 years ago when it came out. I’m was in 5th grade when the cards came out and red and blue. I have to say this game got me back into the all the games/ older games again.
I started Pokémon with Ruby and sapphire, played platinum, and then never looked at the series again until ORAS got announced. I remember I convinced my mom to get me the omega ruby edition of the 2ds. We had to ship it in from New Zealand to the US so it’s region locked but I couldn’t care less. I was up till 3 am for 3ish nights straight catching all the Pokémon I could, exploring hoenn again, and trying to trade online for version exclusives, I have such fond memories of these games. Still one of my favorite winter breaks of all time.
Just got done listening to this after a few sessions, really great video! I actually forgot entirely about some little bits of info you added, like the Day Care at the Resort Makes me wanna go back and play more ORAS soon
Thanks! We got a playlist that also features the gen one and two games so if you have a generalized interest in the series check out those videos. Thanks for watching appreciate it!
Wow wanted to go sleeping bro... ah eff it that can wait.! Can´t wait til Diamond Pearl and Platinum retrospective😍 those were my last pokemon games on handheld until i got to play again. Since 2021 i played like 7 or 8 games on the 3ds lol.
@@ntmaproductions oh ok, so basically next video Diamond pearl Platinum and after that when it comes to pokemon Brilliant Diamond and shining pearl? ah well i guess i will watch it nonetheless :)
I’m of the opinion that these remakes are overall really good and the easier nature of them doesn’t make me mad like it does some. I find it makes it super fun to do monotype runs in the newer games with more diverse teams in older games that are more difficult.
I didn't see any comments saying this so: You can Dex Nav fishing pokemon. as soon as you catch it you can tap it's sprite and it'll do the same as trying to dex nav a surfing pokemon. I've done it with horsea and more.
Delta episode really was a whole nothingburger you really hit the mark on that one. Its hilarious how the games seem to alternate between having a really cool and fleshed out postgame or literally fuck all with no in between lol. Guess it doesn’t matter in the end since i don’t think any postgame will ever top gen 2’s kanto revisit for most people. As flawed as that part of the game is to me in retrospect it’s pretty insane to think gamefreak did all that way back in 2000 and since then have been like “yeah we’re literally never doing anything like this ever again”
So Kyurem is not exclusive, you actually need The other Dao dragon for it to even wanna appear, like Giritina who you correctly omitted from the exclusive screen
So that's why Weather got nerfed! I had no idea, although it does make sense given i'd abuse Weather against my brother in Pokemon Battles. This is my second favourite Pokemon Remake, I loved the Lore expansions (especially on the Weather Trio, the really felt godlike) and the tweaking of Team Aqua and Magma's actions the PokeNav Plus and it's Applications was so fun for me, I loved the return of Pokemon Contests ad being able to use Mega Evolutions as well as the addition of so many Mega's, I am annoyed barely anyone used them. Personally I like Mauville City, though I do understand why you disliked how everything was squashed together but it felt like what Pokemon has been doing when they main a "Main City" in each region. I love how they included Latios/Latias as a main part of the Story and soaring was fun, I also enjoyed the return of growing Berries though I liked X&Y's Berry Garden even better. My favourite return was the Super-Secret Bases and being able to recruit Secret Pals to our Base it felt like creating my very own Gym, I also found Secret Islet which is my favourite Secret Base. I also loved how we had more to do with Steven Stone who is my favourite Champion, I also disliked Zinnia and did want to punch her or get Rayquaza to hyper beam her, she annoyed me to no end. Sadly i'm one of the few that disliked the Battle Frontier not being included, with Mega Pokemon added it would've been nice to play in an updated Battle Frontier with them included. Another thing I was disappointed in was them not expanding on Wally as a Rival, I would've loved to have met him a few times and either battle or team up with him as he gets stronger. On the other hand I adored Delta Episode, especially how it made Deoxys legitimate and the ending actually made me feel sad. Sad that a Game that got me so invested in it ended Plot wise, I hadn't felt like that since SoulSilver & HeartGold and the Pokemon Colosseum Games. I actually liked the multiverse Plot, mainly because there are a so many theories trying to tie together the Games and this way we can simply go "every game is it's own Universe" just to avoid continuity issues.
@@aster4jaden @aster4jaden Yeah there'sa ton to love. Weather being a mistake will be brought up a lot in the eventual Gen 5 video, don't worry 😅. I actually quite like Wally here, the stuff he's given is small, but between his improved team, that lovely arena, seeing him in the Chateau, Norman's moment with Wally's father, there's a decent amount I think. Soaring is a genius idea that definitely deserved another shot, same with DexNav but Gamefreak is ??? they're Gamefreak I suppose.
@@ntmaproductions Gamefreak is weird as fuck, they don't really build up on what they create. I think they struck gold with Mega Evolutions, only to abandon them for Z-Moves and even went out of their way in Gen 7's Pokedex entries of them to smear them as being painful for Pokemon. Despite previous lore making it clear that Mega Evolutions are born from bonds of friendship, so trainers wouldn't force them to go through a transformation that could hurt them.
@@aster4jaden It's definitely an awkward cycle they've thrown themselves into. It's pretty clear they like to keep mechanics regional, for some reason, like GSC being the Day/Night one, although once consoles started having internal clocks they rolled that removal back, Hoenn and contests (kinda? DPPt had worse contests but they dropped them after that), BW's seasons, but falling into doing that with gameplay has left the series in a fluctuating state since, with highs and lows as a result of constantly killing the newest battle mechanic. I think Tera is... a bit of a mess, but it's still gonna be weird to see it go, and even weirder to see its real ingrained mons (like Terapagos and Ogrepon) crawl on past it, same for the Gigantamax dudes, Necrozma's uggy dragon form, Megas- although admittedly I'm so down for a Mega Revival with Z-A and have a lot of hopes for who gets new ones (Pnagoro plsssssss)
@@kdburner7356 I'm fairly split, although I lean Sapphire- Kyogre is way cooler than Groudon imo, and Ludicolo and Sableye are both very fun Pokemon in usage and design, plus some of the ones added like Clauncher and Dialga, but admittedly, Ruby has some crazy exclusives this time around with Ho-Oh, and Archen. Also Sapphire (the original) was my childhood game alonside Crystal :)
@@ShadowKaiserin I meant moreso the way you could leave trails through thr ash in RSE but that might be a line that I misspoke or toed to closely to the RSE video
I love how it made so much sense for Archie to be black, especially with being tanner then most white Pokémon characters in RSE, that I FORGOT he was white until it got mentioned to me, nine years I went thinking Archie was just… always black because it was so seamless and the design is so much cooler, especially with inspiration from pirates, diving suits, and the superhero franchise Super Sentai, or power rangers for American viewers, the same series to inspire Chipher in Colosseum and XD
@@gabrieldevoogel6225 Yeah the tanned/black look really suits someone who spends most of their time by the big, reflective ocean sailing, beyond just being more interesting than a lounge singer at a gay bar. It's more jarring in the manga where he is explicitly the same dude instead of an AU situation, but I'm absolutely in love with the Aqua redesigns and can't complain a bit
i just have to ask why you feel compelled to include comments about competitive when you clearly aren't invested in it? you claimed that landorus incarnate is worse than therian? you mean the forme that's banned in every singles format? you clearly weren't talking about vgc where intimidate does carry therian to higher viability than incarnate because you mentioned setting up rocks, a play that's essentially singles exclusive. this is far from your only comment about competitive that's dubious to say the least. you don't sound like you enjoy the concept of competitive, so again, why even bother mentioning it?
@ntmaproductions You dunderhead. It wasn't a compliment. You don't go over every new system mechanic in the first 5 minutes of the video. You don't read off a script like it's a Wikipedia article. You don't just put up irrelevant gameplay footage as you read off your script. Listen, making a video is hard. If you don't have the time and patience to be thoughtful for the footage you use in a video, make a podcast, book, or audio book. A TH-cam video is a different medium and should be treated as such. You also need to pick up on social ques. Again, my original comment wasn't complimenting you.
@ntmaproductions Again, you're lacking any semblance of being a human being capable of have regular discourse with another human being. Feedback is for you to listen to, receive, and consider if any changes need to be done. Based up on the thousands of likes my comment has, we can safely agree I am in the majority opinion here. For you to so brazenly disregard this honest feedback is a shame and disservice to your fans. I genuinely hope you realize after each video you upload gets downvoted to oblivion you'll see it's not your viewers who are a bunch of lovers, but rather you, failing to make reasonable adjustments for the viewer.

I was so excited for this one especially - Thank you for putting all this effort into those retrospectives for us
Believe me, I've been workin hard on this big boy
I thought today would be productive, but now I'll be watching this without a break haha
I'm finally free of making it and back to productivity 🙏
Holy cow, this video has so much love poured into it. Keep up the great work!
I loved flying around Omega Ruby, it was really cool seeing the world modeled in 3D.
A big reason people were disappointed with BDSP
I put this video on to fall asleep but i ended up listening to the whole thing. Thank you please make more!
RBY, FRLG, LGPE, GSC, HGSS, and RSE are alrwady done, and more will come eventually :)
Here we go🎉
Edit: great points on the Megas, also cannot unseen the clefkey thing u said

Got a 2ds in 2019 and Omega Ruby was like 3rd game I got and was pleasantly surprised. It couldve been a bit more difficult but the story was kool and the map was great
So cool to see these videos still going, man. I've watched every single one.
Can't wait to watch this baby while I'm traveling.
Shoutout to Deoxys for being the first Mythical Pokémon to be legitimately catchable in-game without special events or glitches; a trend that continued in SwSh, L:A, and SV.
…too bad it’s now banished to the PoGo dimension if you didn’t shill out for Pokémon Home before Pokémon Bank shut down.
USUM also had Magearna via QR Code! Not catchable, but obtainable, permanently, forever, not to mention Legends Arceus making everyone available, with some caveats. Deoxys was a real trailblazer.
