I loved the ad read haha! brb installing nord on my Poketch 😄
dugong is the name of an animal. Dewgong's name is just a misspelling just like Seel
@@WhoElseButZane I came here to say this...
Bro u need to make a hundred more of this vids man they aree sooooo fun to watch
@@Fr00tLoops7 glad you’re enjoying!! Gonna try and aim for at least 2 of these per month while working on other interesting videos!
Actually, Dewgong isn’t an original name. It’s based on a dugong.
Yup came here to say this, still an animal name
It's literally the closest relative to Manatees too haha
It’s a pun. It combines dugong and dew
now this is a real life fact that i didn't know thank you!
Took the words out of my mouth 😂
I don't have twitter but:
In Emerald, if you beat the 7th gym, then trade over a pokemon with Dive before getting the HM from Steven, you can go to the underwater Aqua base early, and there is a special Aqua Grunt NPC there who blocks your way and hints that you should go back to the Mossdeep Space Center to do the part of the story you tried to skip.
Found it by accident on my own because I traded over my HM slaves when replaying.
Developer's Foresight at its finest.
Cool fact
I thought that you couldn't trade pokemon that knew HMs
@@nomercyformayhem2238 You can trade them freely, you just can't transfer them to the next generation (via Pal Park [Gen3 -> Gen4] or Poke Transfer [Gen4 -> Gen5]) or put them on GTS.
You also can't give Pokemon HMs as held items.
@@robertlupa8273 wait you cant transfer pokemon that knew hms? I traded up my swellow with fly at one point
Vaporeon in Yellow is coded to learn both Mist and Haze at the same level. However due to the way the game is coded, a Pokémon cannot learn two moves at once because of this, it can't learn Mist. There is a way around this, train the Vaporeon in the day care south of Cerulean City and it can learn both Mist and Haze.
My hours of checking the trivia on Bulbapedia have paid off.
we learn something new everyday
nice
I frequently search a random Pokemon and look at the trivia section of bulbapedia to learn something
I do this for d&d all the time haha.
Bronzong can learn Rain Dance because it is based on a Japanese bell that rings to bring plentiful harvest. It can't capitalize on this in any way other than for lore and that's pretty cool.
Also Arceus has a ???-type design for a ???-type plate. I have no clue if any of these facts have been discussed on the channel before but here you go.
@@oodogla I to every day look up random pokemon trivia for competitive purposes
This is the second best fact I’ve heard about Vaporeon!
TM62 was changed to Bug Buzz because, back in DPP, it was Silver Wind, but Silver Wind doesn't exist in Gen 8, so they gave it to Bug Buzz
And thats also the reason renegade platinum use the tm62 as bug buzz. They just swap silver wind from the base game to bug bu.
I knew about the Gogoat fact! I remember seeing it in the trailer and making a mental note *not* to hunt it because it looked bad, and for the longest time after release I didn’t realize it had a different (and much better) shiny!
Gogoat one of my fav tanks in gen 6
How do we know it was a shiny? It might've been a regular Gogoat before they finalized the color scheme.
I'm almost sure it was his early normal sprite design.
I don’t think it’s shiny. I’m pretty sure that’s just how the early sprite looked. Even helioptile is a bit off color
@@ManuelHernandez-xp3lq What about all those pretty sparkles
Isn't a dugong an animal too? Pretty sure Dewgong is also just an intentional misspelling like Seel.
It is
It is, but it's actually a pun: dew + dugong
Seel is Seal + Eel..?
I don't get it.
@@sera_sarzad Maybe it's from this old definition?
seel
(intransitive, obsolete, of a ship) To roll on the waves in a storm.
Dugong is a species of manatees
The Renegade Platinum thing is likely a coincidence. I *heavily* doubt Nintendo would ever reference a fangame, considering their track record.
That's quite the coincidence. It's not like anyone at ILCA had to run every minor change past some Nintendo quality checkers since the game released like it never went through QC at all.
It's easier for me to believe since it's something that only takes a single rogue developer to implement.
The Serebii map was probably slipped in the same way. Even the original D&P had a shout-out to the Red Chocobo LP of crystal.
While I do agree, I would like to believe that someone at ILCA/GF suggested this and they just went with it. Plus the fact that it's specifically a TM change from a/THE popular Gen 4 rom hack added to the GEN 4 remakes. Kinda sus ngl
@@Chance57 the video is called Pokemon facts, that's not a fact it's pure speculation
@@fakedeath13 Yeah, it's speculation the same way I "speculate": The sun is going to rise in the morning.
Well, there is a Version of Cynthia in Pokemon Masters EX who uses Giratina and that costume is called "Renegade", so maybe they do acknowledge it.
One fact I know of that's easy to miss is that there's an error with how Wonder Guard and Fire Fang interact in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. If you generate a Spiritomb or Sableye with Wonder Guard, they should be impossible to attack directly. However, for some reason, Fire Fang is the only attack in the game that can still connect despite NOT being a weakness.
And the Battle Tower's algorithm to create teams that counter your own knows this. The more you play with a Wondertomb the more Pokemon with Fire Fang you'll see.
@@bullzeye399 If Fire Fang working is a glitch, that means that the Tower tests moves manually, which is interesting
That's actually really interesting
Wow this is super interesting gonna look into it and add it to a future video!
I think they had it in gen 5 as well and iirc Fire Fang acts as a one shot in one of these games regardless of how much damage it normally would've dealt.
That Gogoat bit is just WILD
Makes me curious how many people never hunted Gogoat because it looked lackluster in the trailer, when it’s actually really FREAKING COOL
One of the top comments is now someone that did exactly that.
What's especially weird about Tri-Attack's effect is that it didn't exist in gen 1. Tri-Attack was just a moderate-power normal move with no secondary effect until gen 2, which introduced the BrnFrzPrz effect, thawing and all.
Not sleep. Burn, Freeze, Paralyze
@@Meatbrawl You are correct. Typo on my part. Fixed it.
Magearna actually had its shiny changed, in gen seven its shiny was LITERALLY identical to its regular form, but now it gets a more silver color in its shiny.
@@Nephenon Well even Pokémon that were shiny locked had a shiny form in the games codes, Im guessing they weren’t planning on making its shiny available in gen seven so they didnt bother adding a shiny form to the code.
@@Nephenon Same thing with ash hat pikachu, it doesn't have a shiny. It can sparkle when "shiny" but it doesn't change color at all because it wasn't intended to have a shiny! Some pokemon that are never intended to have shinies don't get ones, most legendries get a shiny form even if shiny locked because they like to do shiny events for them however not all shiny locked pokemon are intended to be distributed with shinies therefor a few have no shiny form.
@@testerwulf3357 While this is "technically correct" what's really going on is that the Pokémon that "don't have a Shiny" simply have two copies of the exact same texture file. real Shininess is derived from values inherent to the specimen. If it's sparkling on switch-in, that's Shiny, even if the texture is identical to the usual form.
The bag changing based on what outfit you’re wearing in BDSP is pretty cool. Did you also notice that it changes if you’re riding your bike?
I noticed that it changes while on the bike, but seemingly only while I was on cycling road. Maybe they messed it up with the latest update?
Obscure fact for you - the old cartridges used to come with little handbooks detailing controls and such.
Those included with gen 3 i.e ruby had a braille - to - plaintext map to help you solve the Regis puzzles!
Hints for in game secrets hidden in the handbook is probably not well known :)
The line in the booklet with the braille to text translation about there may even be some Braille in your hometown had me confused for years if they meant in game or irl
I think most people are familiar with the concept of manuals lol
@@yutuberocks22 that’s clearly not the point of his comment lmao. He’s just saying there’s a way to help you with the Regi dungeons.
@@yutuberocks22 I know, the concept that manuals being included with games being a "fun fact" makes me feel so old.😂
Most games come with a book and despite the games being 20 years old most of us were children or young teens at that point so a lot of us would’ve had an incredibly similar experience so it’s not really that obscure considering they sold 16+ million copies 💀
One cool fact is that back in late April of 2009, there was a secret key distribution for Rotom in Diamond/Pearl, which certain stores were given special DS catridges to distribute them. Once the event was over, they were supposed to return them to Nintendo, but some of the catridges weren’t returned and those left over catridges can be found on places such as eBay now
Same thing applies to other event distribution cartridges
@@williamcox632 yup, they're supposed to be destroyed but they're also too valuable in preservation of media so some collectors offer thousands for them
Around 14 years ago i actually encoutered a freaking shiny Whiscash in the Safari Zone in Pearl. I ended up catching it but my 8 Year old heart almost didn't make it. Today i learned that it does not flee :D
That Gogoat looks nearly identical to non-shiny Gogoat, so I'd assume it was a beta pallet for the non-shiny, maybe even just weird lighting. The sparkles are part of the trade animation if I'm not mistaken, not the shiny sparkle.
In Generation 4, TM 62 was Silver Wind, but Silver Wind was deprecated in Gen 8. Instead of re-adding it, they replaced with a similar (special bug-type) move which wasn't a TM (Bug Buzz was previously only TR 61 in SwSh, and never a TM in previous generations).
Dewgong is currently named after the dugong, the closest living relative to manatees (which the pokemon resembles a lot more), so equally original as Seel is based on "seal" and Manaty is based on "manatee."
You're wrong about gogoat, it was shiny. if you watch the presentation in full, they show the official art for gogoat right after, very clearly different. and then in game they even show a regular gogoat in battle, so it was without a doubt shiny. also, the dugong thing was a mess up by me but i still think it's interesting and funny.
have you ever had a Gogoat kek
@@BlueBoyPhin Sounds like an error on your side. You presented incomplete information that could easily be interpreted differently, I also thought that it might have just been a regular one.
Whereas if you included a short bit of the regular version from the presentation, then we would have no issues.
@@BlueBoyPhin it wasn't shiny. They never showcase shinies
@@rampagingshrew3191 th-cam.com/video/GrL3I38VO3o/w-d-xo.html it was shiny that is a fact. see for yourself
Has anyone noticed how many times Gligar and it’s shiny have swapped with each other?
Y'know i was thinking about this the other day and went to look it up and was very surprised to find that wasn't the case. Shiny gligar has actually been pretty consistently a cool purple if serebii is anything to go off of. For some reason he just continuously flipped between pink and warm purple for his normal sprite again and again and again lol.
Like i seriously had it in my head it was like a smeargle situation but continuous, but nope, shiny gligar has been surprisingly consistent. They just couldn't pin down the standard coloring until the 3D models it appears.
@@raptorfeathers283 XD
Yes that gave me a heart attack in Platinum
I remember when Gen 3 Dratini was slightly more purple / pink than usual
@@JustAPrinnyDood Gen 2 was when we had a beautiful purple and white danger noodle. Gen 3 was when they made it more pink and by gen 4, pink was here to stay.
Yeah, who would have thought that they were going to name Seel's evolution after manatees, but instead named it after dugongs (which, y'know, are closely related to the manatee). So no, Dewgong as a name is not any more creative.
Dewgong is at least written as a portmanteau with dew, which I am sure is the entire reason it was changed. So it is moderately more creative.
@@Clockehwork Seel could also be named named after “seel” which is how ships roll in storms or even the name seel which can mean “sea creature”. Neither are creative and rather boring..
Tester Wulf :3 Then that means _both_ are better than freaking "Manaty."
@@christiancinnabars1402 Honestly you aren't wrong there. Manaty was horrible!
Side note on the mud/bait mechanic at 5:30. Almost every online source has the effects of mud and bait the wrong way round, despite an NPC in the Marsh correctly describing it as mud making a Pokémon easier to catch but more likely to flee, and the inverse for bait.
I've got some good ones:
-Shiny Arceus cannot transfer through Poke Transporter
-What happens when you send a Pokemon to a PREVIOUS generation (by cheating, there's a Johnstone video on it)
-Working ledges are used as out of bounds cliff texturing in gen 3
-There's no known reason why the Tao Trio, Light Trio, etc, were in Sword and Shield from the getgo
-The fastest Pokemon with boosted speed can ignore Trick Room
-Battle Revolution had unused textures for Red and Leaf (and while either you or someone else mentioned this, I'm not sure, there was also an unreleased "Platinum update" only used during VGC 2009 and 10)
I think it'd be cool if the lightning rod ability gave a chance for random people to accidentally call you on the PokeNav
That's such a beautifully useless and annoying feature, but also makes sense. Well done. Edit: reached that point of the video where the context is, still funny.
@BlueBoyPhin I have a fact. Before dp was released there was a demo version of dp. If you where able to skip the demo area, you could actually play the entire game before it released. Poketips has a video on it called "breaking the dp demo"
I really love this series, dude. Like, genuinely. Whenever you put up a new video about this I get so excited because after being in this fandom for twenty years, I STILL get to learn new things thanks to you! And I think that’s wonderful. I’ve shown this to my friend and it’s gotten to the point where when we watch one of your videos, we respond to your little “did you know Common thing?” and get so excited when you say “Good, here’s something you DON’T know!” Because then we’re all like “:O oh my gosh, a new thing!” Please know your fact-hunting does not go unnoticed. It’s super appreciated. Thank you for taking the time and effort to find this information for us and share it so the fandom can feel like we’ve all discovered Mew under the truck again. Your positive energy and genuine interest in this is contagious in the best way!
This is by far my favorite comment I've ever received! please know as you watch the videos that its your words and energy that first hand improves the quality, effort and time I put into these videos, seriously thank you from me to you (and your friend) for watching and being apart of this!
For the out of battle ability one, you said that everyone knew about Static increasing the chance of Electric types showing up and Magnet Pull increasing the chance of Steel types showing up. I did not know these, but I found it funny that I knew about the Lightning Rod one
Same, I didn't even know about the Suction Cups effect! I wish Pokemon was a little less opaque about these out-of-battle effects, since some of them are incredibly useful.
6:16 I had to find that out the hard way til I checked online where other abilities that increase encounter odds like No Guard and Illuminate are the abilities that almost always guarantee fishing encounters.
The Gogoat might’ve been an Excadrill situation, where the sprite we saw was actually its beta normal form since the colors match up a bit better with that one
That’s what I was thinking!!!
Surprisingly that was not the case! It was shiny, if you watch the whole thing they even show a regular gogoat in battle and the difference is striking, it is confirmed to be shiny, here’s the original trailer - th-cam.com/video/GrL3I38VO3o/w-d-xo.html
@@BlueBoyPhin Thanks for covering that up, I wasn’t sure since I hadn’t seen the trailer in so long
@@BlueBoyPhin Well, now! Don't we all learn something new every day?
@@BlueBoyPhin maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see anything in that video confirming it was shiny. It could have easily been a beta accidentally put in. Unless the Pokémon Company comes out as says it was shiny, we just do not know. You can believe it was shiny. But there will be a lot of people who think it was a beta unless you can actually prove it was shiny.
brilliant diamond and shining pearl are so well put together, im glad there are no bugs
for real though, i feel horrible for anyone who grew up with BP and was excited for a good remake
Honestly I liked BDSP... Sorry to hear other people hate it, but I'm surprised people are finding bugs with it since I haven't once encountered one.
I was crushed when I found out about the amount of bugs. D/P/P was my lifeblood as a little 8 year old girl. It just feels like a "look at how they've massacred my boy" moment (I know that's a dead meme, don't hate please). I was so excited up until the release, and then it was all downhill from there. They really shouldn't have kept the chibi style, it's so awful. Such a disappointing game :( I'm no longer planning to buy it.
I was nervous to play over the bugs but honestly I'm really enjoying it. I have a few issues and have personally only encountered one bug but its pretty nice.
I will say I dont think it should have been 60 dollars.
@@hotaruishere2133 I kinda agree. The sheer amount of bugs I've seen people find, the continuous lack of fire types outside of the underground, and overall just having to change things such as how contests proceed (i loved contests in the original games, and now it's totally ruined)... I was really tempted to get the game at first, but once I saw all these things, I noped out. I think Diamond & Pearl shouldve remained their 8bit DS versions, cuz upgrading to the new 3d sprites has definitely taken many of the things I personally loved away.
@@hotaruishere2133 A lot of these bugs are happening more or less only in the 1.0 release, a many of them were patched out in 1.0.1, and most of of them also have to be found, they don't just happen, people blew it outta proportion, if you';re playing casually, you pretty much won't find any bugs at all.
It's honestly a fantastic remake that fixes many of the originals problems.
So long as you have the game updated, you won't find any bugs unless you deliberately hunt them down, so play it, it's honestly fun.
These videos are actually amazing. Genuinely the ONLY source of actual facts that almost nobody knows
thank you vilmer!!
the bug buzz thing is just that in gen 4, tm 62 was silver wind, and since silver wind is an underwhelming TM, coincidentally both drayano and ilca thought bug buzz would be more rewarding
no, it’s because it was killed in sword and shield
How do you only have 52K Subs? You should have at least 100K
You cant just attack Seel for having an uncreative name when Dewgong is exactly the same. Dewgong is literally just a dugong (a relative of manatees with a spade-like lip and a fluked tail).
And you cant use the excuse that its a pun (dew + dugong), because the word 'seel' also has another meaning. It refers to the rolling of a ship in a storm. Fitting for a water type. The word 'seel' can also mean good fortune.
If Dewgong is a dewy dugong, then Seel is a seal which bobs and rolls in the water like the seel of a ship.
yeah, this channel is kinda bullshit
I would love to have an official Pokemon dev find this series and say whether these facts are on purpose or consequences.
coincidences*
"There are no accidents."
Man hearing that song outside of a Summoning Salt feels so wierd.
"Shiny chimecho is green"
*is actually teal and orange*
"This is not concrete"
*is a facts video*
Sir,
It looks green to me
i see it more as minty green but that’s just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I seen white and gold
@@Chance57 stahp
in BDSP, ALL of cynthia's pokemon are ev trained and have perfect ivs
“Dewgong is an original name.”
*All dugongs in our world feel a disturbance.
Well, it's a pun? Like pretty much all pokemon. Dew + Dugong, Wing + Gull, Arcane + Canine, etc.
Seel is just a weird misspelling.
2:30 - To be fair, Seel's evolution's name isn't really that more original. "Dewgong" is just a corruption of "dugong", which is another type of marine mammal. 😛 Though, with the Pokémon's name including "dew" in it, it does make reference to it being a part Water-type.
GF: *sees shiny Gogoat* We can't keep that, get it out of here!
GF: *sees shiny Garchomp* Perfect
well gamefreak didn't chose the shiny for garchomp
Cool facts! Though, I’m pretty sure shiny Pokémon palettes were automatically chosen and generated by the games themselves until Gen 5, so the Mt. Pyre thing is probably just a coincidence. Also Chimecho doesn’t look green at all to me .-.
Well that’s actually not true! There was certainly ones that were chosen even since the start, hence the arcanine and nine tails I showed in the video being gold and silver and version exclusive to those games as well
Darkrai roaming around the Sinnoh region sounds terrifying
I really like the finale music that you use in your vids it makes the final fact feel so climatic and special😎👍
Thanks Leo!!
It's called We're Finally Landing by Home
It’s the summoning salt music lol
I've watched a few now, and I find it amusing using things like the theme to GTA 3 in a video about Pokémon 😂 and then ending with that one tune Summoning Salt uses in basically EVERY video they've made 👌
It belongs to SummoningSalt. Completely. That feeling you got, you'll have 1,000,000 fold if you go watch a speedrun history from SummoningSalt. He DEFINITELY got it from him.
Dewgong = Dugong = Manatee
It's the name mechanism as Seel = Seal. That's kinda the point.
I gave my friend an Eevee so he could get a Glaceon. He didn’t have any everstones so he has to sit through the evolution sequence and mash b for the majority of his journey. But when it happened it said, “Jamie is evolving”. This is weird because Eevee has no nickname, and it’s OT name was mine, not Jamie. My friend’s name was also not Jamie in this game. Not even the Eevee who was traded to me to breed this one had the name anywhere associated with it. So where the hell did it come from?
Edit: I followed up with my friend about the Underground and no. They weren’t down there when it happened. They were in Eterna Forest.
By any chance, was your friend in the Underground when the Eevee evolved? Evolutions down there pull names from the other players in the Underground for some reason.
If it was in the underground in BDSP, pokemon evolutions are incredibly glitched down there.
does anyone in the forest have that name?
the fact with duskskull shuppet and chimeco made me like the Pokémon a lot more
The shiny chimecho, duskull, and shuppet thing is probably a coincidence since back then a Pokemons shiny was chosen by a program rather than the developers choosing
According to Bulbapedia, nobody knows how shiny colors are chosen, and we never have, so it's perfectly plausible.
Also they are found at the summit where the orbs that controlled kyogre and groudon which would concede with the fact it was on purpose
I dont understand why shiny Chimeco is referred to as representing the color green when it's orange.
Even if non-intentional it is a pretty fun theory that lines up pretty well. Wouldn’t bat my eyes if Chimecho was red or blue but the fact that it ended up being green is a super interesting coincidencex
@@BzKnz220 looks yellow and a dirtier shade of white to me
Aha!! My boulders shall be known by the WORLD! Excellent video as ever, Phin! I totally had forgotten about the different shiny Gogoat from the XY prerelease! Thank you again for including my silly little boulder smiley :)
:)
As an add-on to the last bit of potential trivia, Chimeco also looks like a teru teru bōzu or “shine shine monk” and it’s a handmade doll that farmers used to make in Japan to ward off rain and young kids in Japan still make them. Wikipedia states “this talisman is supposed to have magical powers to bring good weather and stop or prevent a rainy day”.
I think “good weather” could also be described as also not having Groundon’s droughts or Kyogre’s floods!
Edit - Castform is the other pokemon who is supposed to resemble a teru teru bōzu
0:55 - 1:30 Excadrill's shiny also changed similarly to this, when it was showed on a Japanese tv show for a little bit, then got updated before the main series game it debuted in.
Chingling and Chimecho are my favorite pokemon, I love the theory that Chimecho acts as a protecter of the mountain and controls the ruckus of Dusklops and Mischeious
If we're talking about abilities having an affect outside of battle I know that if your lead Pokémon has Swarm as it's ability it ups the chance of hearing Pokémon cries on the overworld in Pokémon Emerald.
Idk if anyone has pointed this out yet but in addition to chimeco being a bell to ward off spirits he is also half "cleanse tag" which are believed to have the same effect in japanese mythology. Poke vets will remember the cleanse tag even being an item with that effect in the red/green games to be used in pokemon tower as a pseudo repel.
Ok phin, I’ve seen like 4 of these and I swear to god that last fact is the best one I’ve ever seen. I’m subbed now. I could watch a whole video of you hypothesizing on shinies and their meanings/associations.
not me staying up all night watching most of his videos
2:46 Dewgong is the same as Seel btw, its the exact name of a real life animal just spelt slightly different!
I think the shiny Duskull, Shuppet, and Chimecho is a clever easter egg, since atop Mt Pyre is where you get the orbs for the legendaries.
Although it is true Zacian and Zamazenta wouldn't be affected by the shiny charm, it isn't just them. It's all static encounters, or encounters that are activated. (In swsh only) Other examples of static encounters include Regidrago (and the other regis) in swsh or Lugia and Ho-oh in hgss.
There wasn't a shiny charm in HGSS
@@expo_pkmn I know that, it wasn't an example of shiny charm not working, it was an example of static encounters
TM 62 feels like a bit of a stretch. There's however a stronger connection in Pokémon Masters EX. They pretty recently released a unit named Sygna Suit Cynthia (Renegade) who happens to have Giratina as her partner pokémon.
TM62 is definitely not a reference to the romhack. In the original Gen IV TM62 was Silver Wind, but I suspect the developers of BDSP recognized that Bug Buzz was a far superior special Bug move and replaced it. The two moves are too similar for it to be coincidence.
Giratina is the Renegade Pokemon. That's where the ROM hack got the name, and also why the unit's called that.
@@hollylucianta6711 it’s because silver wind was killed in sw/sh
When he includes Gogoats shiny chance but doesnt even mention how Combusken got changed/restored in SS back to how it looked in RSE
The Mt. Pyre shiny theory was super interesting :0 Amazing vid as always dude!!
Nice vid! Actually didn't know some of these, which is rare to find! That last one makes me want to run a Chimecho, too. The Heal Bell utility is wonderful.
Yesssss! Congrats on getting by a sponsor phin! Cant wait
for the streams!
I love this series so much, they are the only videos I go into actually expecting to learn something 😂
It’s a coincidence, before gen 5 shiny forms were based on color palette and not designed. For example all the green Pokémon
a bit of a sad fact: in the Johto story (only counting important trainers [gym leaders, rival battle, team rocket, e4, champion] and without the Kanto postgame, and assuming you've picked Chikorita, like me), there are only FIVE Pokémon weak to Grass: Chuck's Poliwrath, Pryce's Seel, Dewgong and Swinub, and Bruno's Onix.
6:33 in fact, only traded pokemons don't obey the player, pokemons that have you as the original trainer will keep obeying you even if they are levels above the badge limit.
Isn’t that pretty well-known?
@@boot-4704 not exactly, some friends of mine didn't know that until I told them, they thought any pokemon that went over the limit would stop obeying them, they explained to me that they thought that because they misinterpreted the sentence said always after you get a badge, after a while I found out that actually a lot of people ended up misinterpreting the sentence and also that it ended up being mistranslated in some versions of translation hackroms.
Well, even though it's a well-known thing, a lot of people still get confused about it, I found it interesting to comment on it just in case someone who hasn't understood it had it explained now.
I actually found that out after I overleveled some of my ot mons while also having traded mons in my party and it only ever affected them
These video's are so so fun! Very well done!
Can't believe I missed this upload yesterday lol, awesome vid!!
With the shiny Duskull, Shuppet and Chimecho, it was just a big coincidence, since all shinies before Gen 6 were randomly generated by a computer program, hence why a lot of pre-Gen 6 blue pokemon had pink shinies. I love the theory though, with them representing Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza.
Just putting this out there. Dewgong isn't a really creative name because Dewgong is actually trying to say dugong which is a sea animal related to a seal that also are very similar to manatee which explains it's beta name Manaty
Just like any other Pokémon name though....
To be fair, Dewgong isn't that much more original of a name - It's just a respelling of Dugong!
DUDE! I love these, that last fact was just *chefs kiss*
Summoning salt music is so soothing
Great vid as always!!!
Is it possible that the Gogoat was actually a regular one that they ended up making darker in the official release and that it wasn’t actually shiny at all?
The normal one was shown in the same trailer.
Munchlax is buffest baby i ever seen
So, I honestly love that someone took the time and energy to make a difficulty patch for Colosseum, and added the Physical/Special split, fairy type moves, and other near things. It is much tougher, and it is a blast to play it without knowing what I will see. It also has Kanto and Hoenn additions.
i don’t know just how much research goes into these videos, but it’s got to be a lot! thank you for all the work you put in :)
The shuppet and Duskull thing was a bit weak for me tbh Chimecho doesn't remotely look green and the colours seem like a coincidence. Another channel found out the shiny formula for these earlier games so I'm 100% sure it's just overanalysis. The others are neat!
I completely disagree
In these games the shinies weren’t purposely colored like they are now, they had a formula that determined what color the shiny would be.
That’s why a lot of older gen shinies suck really badly (ex: pikachu).
So yeah, overanalysis.
Yeah it's just BS. The method for shinies back then has been found and proved many times.
Shuppet is more common in sapphire while duskull is more common in ruby
There’s a way for both of these statements to be true. Plus, if you’re referring to Lockstin’s video, he states that game devs can and have changed shiny colors before. Like how Charizard goes from purple, to a greenish black, to black. Especially when, in theory, Duskull and Shuppet should have similar shinies since they’re both grey.
2:36 Dewgong’s name isn’t much better, it’s named after a dugong, which is just a type of manatee
Another banger!! Congrats om the sponsor too! Absolutely love these facts!
I knew 3 this time!
I knew the BDSP sticky hold and suction cups glitch, solely because I was testing if chain fishing was in the game right after it launched and realized the abilities didn’t work right.
I found the lighting rod pokenav one while doing research for a competitive team a few years back
I knew about Cynthia’s garchomp because she was the bane of my childhood and I did some extra reading on her before BDSP came out.
(I’m also pretty certain the Mt. Pyre shinies and bug buzz tm are both coincidences lol. Those are both an absolutely gargantuan stretch of logic)
Pretty sure the chimecho thing is 100% coincidence. It's such a stretch, especially given that duskull and shuppet aren't really known for fighting each other specifically
It looks to me that the Palkia you showed at 7:11 wasn’t shiny. Considering I’m doing a Full Odds shiny Palkia hunt right now my eyes could be playing tricks on me.. it’s just got me curious to if i’ve missed a shiny now😅🤞🏻
Looks to me the palkia he showed was shiny
I´m doing a shiny palkia hunt right now and this also gave me a heartattack, because I though I missed mine. But I´m pretty sure, the shiny palkia he showed is in fact not! shiny.
Yeah the Palkia one isn’t shiny, if it were the white would have a bit more of a pinkish hue, not sure how he missed that
Been watching your vids for a bit now. Really like the content. Your now my first sub of 2022.
While on the topic of shinys having refrences, palosand from gen 7 has a shiny form that refrences the black sand beaches of hawii, the place sun and moons region is based on.
No one has ever made me want NordVPN until you said Netflix Canada has the Ghibli movies
You're too good at marketing haha
I can't say "Seel" is the worst name for a Pokémon.
I mean, "Conkeldurr" is way worse.
that darkrai one i knew because i used a gameshark/action replay in my original pearl game to get all of the legendaries. cresselia, darkrai, shaymin... man i was so loaded in that game.
Love/appreciate the insight and research you’ve done/found/enduringly pondered. Stay cool, stay sweet, stay, “gotta catch em’ all!”
I don't know if you ever mentioned this in any other of your videos but if you max out your friendship with Pikachu before level 10, it well learn the move Thunder at level 10.
Sorry if this is widely known or if you already covered it but I thought it was really cool.
A dugong is actually an animal, so no, dewgong's name is not more original than seel's 😅
I gthought it was just clickbait but I actually didn't know most of these, great job!
Awesome facts man, I'm also impressed at the background music chosen. Very cool to hear a poketuber not just using Pokémon game tracks. GTA 3 intro and the remix of ELO's Twilight in particular were pretty awesome 😎
A dugong is still just an animal though, the only somewhat clever thing about Dewgong is the Dew part because water type ig
I'm so happy we can get shiny zamazenta and zacian without them being illegal now
Omg the duskskull, shuppet, and chimecho fact is really cute. Just imagine the three of them roleplaying that they are these massive god-like pokemon on top of the mountain.
So on the point of hidden meanings in a pokémon's shiny, I once had the realization that shiny Aron/Lairon/Aggron are likely green due to there being copper in their diet, therefore the green would be a patina
It’s an extra coincidence that it’s in mt pyre the place where u find the orbs that summon Groudon and kyogre
I think they might like Renegade Platinum since Cynthia in Giratina’s sygma suit is called Renegade Cynthia. So perhaps it was an intended easter egg.
Giratina is also called the Renegade Pokemon in the Pokedex though, so it's more likely referencing that.
@@silverkyrie4714 ngl I completely forgot that was Giratina’s title.
9:28 really interesting stuff here, great vid like usual.
