The humble beginnings of one of the most influential franchises of all time. Pokémon Red and Blue Iceberg. Let's dive deep into this very special topic.
The Professor Oak battle should have been a real part of the game. It would have been a cool twist and its good that he ends up training the starter who is left over.
Not only that imo they should have it be a battle for every pokemon game going forward. A battle you unlock by catching all the pokemon so far. Not specifically just Oak though. Each game adds a new professor so adding a battle with each of them for completing the pokedex would be a nice reward ontop of the shiny charm. That and it makes any future remakes even more sought after, as both new and old fans would want to fight the professor of one of their fave games for the first time!
I really think he was meant to be the champion because the animation in the beginning of the game; the one with Nidorino & Gengar, has been revealed throughout the years to be Agatha and Oak’s fight. It made perfect sense for him to be the final boss and I suspect that he was fully intended to be until late into development when Game Freak realized that Blue’s arc…just kind of abruptly ends. No closure. Nothing. My theory is once they realized this, they swapped him out for Oak as the final boss!
The "Mew Glitch" (where you fly/run from a battle then encounter Mew) actually can be used to encounter any Pokemon, it's just based off a detail of the last pokemon you encountered. I suspect people found the glitch, and then just experimented until they got pokemon they wanted to encounter from the glitch.
I tried to watch another TH-cam channel do these Pokemon icebergs, about gen 1, and it was painfully obvious that they didn't play gen 1. It's cool to feel the nostalgia in your voice and anecdotes about growing up with it.
I remember being a kid and seeing Mr.Fuji in Pokémon Crystal with all the baby Pokémon sprites somewhere outside ice cave. I remember telling friends about it at school and one of them telling me you have to be in ice cave at a certain time and a secret exit will unlock and it’ll take to to Mr.Fujis house where you can pick an extra baby pokemon. Looking back this was a dream or something but man did it feel so real.. I legit still have memories about it
The *"Raichu went and evolved"* dialogue is translated text from Japanese Blue in which the trade in question was Kadabra for Graveler and the same thing happens after the Poliwhirl-Jynx trade in Cerulean City (it was Haunter for Machoke in JP Blue.) Basically, the international games used the script from JP Blue and the original trades from Red & Green but the translators failed to check or alter the dialogue of these two NPCs. The dialogue was corrected in FRLG to *“Has the Jynx/Electrode I traded you grown any stronger?”*
Another interesting theory is the one about how butterfree and venomoth were accidentally switched in development. Butterfree’s design shares a lot more similarities with venomoth’s pre-evolution and vice versa. (I still like the way it is now though lol 🦋)
There are a lot of theories about swapped evolutions in gen 1. As a couple lines final evolutions look like other lines. Another example is the dratini line, and the Magikarp line. People have theorized that gyradose and dragonite were swapped as the snake like body of dragonair looks like gyradose. And vise versa. Cool stuff
I don’t think the veno butter theory holds up I think u can chalk it up to one guy making all the original designs and just reused features(by the logic nodoking and ryhdon could be switched) I think a more compelling theory is that flygon was switched from the bagon line obviously the name but the shiny color is the base color scheme (roughly) to bagon’s
@@tannerlawrence4287 I've got actually no idea why anyone would look at dratini/dragonair and think their natural evolution would be gyarados. And why a single fish would suddenly become a bi-pedal winged dragon. I know Dragonite out-right doesn't really look anything like dragonair or magikarp or really any other pokemon for that matter. The only way I'd understand this is if there was something to go on suggesting dragonite was a last minute addition and maybe the snake-like body theory would be that Gyarados was dragonair's original evolution only to be swapped later? names perhaps being finalized later ofc naturally. Really I guess the weakest argument that nobody here is making would be that the names disproof or proof anything when any reasonable person would know the names came later.
Some early Pokemon names were actually used in the anime in some languages, Aria and Ariala being the most noticeable, but Parasyte and Kokoon were clearly used as well. At least now that translation oddity is explained.
Completely unrelated, but I adored that footage of activating the invisible PC, because Panda is what I would always name my character in Pokémon games as a kid
Regarding gen 1 mistranslations, the problem was that translators had to translate names without context. For examples, to translate pokemon moves, Game freak sent to the translators the English name of the pokemon moves without telling them they was Pokemon moves. This gave birth to hilarious Pokemon moves names in other languages. For instance, in Italian, the name "pound" for the move was translated into "libbra", which is the weight measure. The move "counter" was translated as "contatore", which refers to an counting instrument.
Hyper Beam didn't need to charge if it KO'd its target... That's brilliant! A super powerful move that doesn't need to charge as long as its going to KO. I love the idea of thinking, "Im pretty sure this will KO, but can I risk it?"
@@Zanji1234 Yeah, I was saying it would be cool if they intentionally introduced a move like that now. If you click it, and it's not going to KO then it has to charge. But if it KO's the opposing mon that turn them it doesn't need to. It would make some interesting moments and be a unique mechanic that has never (purposefully) existed before.
I will always maintain that I once accidentally went to glitch city. I was messing around with safari zone, left, then went into that poke mart or poke center (I forget which one is right there), then i walked out into glitch city.. I didn’t have missingno or had done anything weird with the game. It was maybe my 3rd play through of the game.. Then many years later I watch a video on glitch city. I was like “well damn..” 🐬
They gave mew away at the mall tour they did. Back in the 90's. We played a 3 round set and you got the mew before the tournament started. Each round won you got a badge. So in less words. Mew was given to thousands of kids in the US.
amazing video, but on the unused tracks at 26:20 it is used for the clefairy dance in Gen 2. It’s just difficult to trigger the event. Correct me if i’m wrong
The soundtrack is to nostalgic, like heartbreak that them times have gone. I remember the first time I played pokémon, I was addicted them and I'm still addicted 😊
2:03 the "music" is actually in the game. It's different channels from a song. This one is the Celedon City harmony. I used to love hearing all the different parts of songs from the game broken down when I was a kid.
Did you know that one time, a child died after listening to the lavender town theme? He haunts the games to this very day. If you find him, he will bury your character alive.
2:57 "Due to the high risk of adding it after the debugging process was completed." The fact that Gen 1 had a debugging process at all is the most shocking Pokemon fact I've learned today.
To defend them: Pokemon was an ambitious game for the hardware it was on, and was coded in assembly. Assembly is way, way, WAY harder than coding in a more modern language. You're poking the hardware directly, and don't have any type handling. Something as basic as adding together two numbers is very noticeably harder in an assembly language than even C. I put together the battle mechanics of the original pokemon games in Unity pretty quickly, just to see how hard it was. If I were to try that in assembly, for an actual gameboy? I'd probably give up pretty quick.
Surprised there wasn't anything about the Mother series on there. You could make a whole separate iceberg with all the connections that series has with Pokemon.
15:55 reading the descripiton I totally understand why some people got headeges or so. Just play that part using headphones and you might experience it as well because some people have a hard time listening to binaural beats but the effect only works with stereo headphones/ earphones. When using headphones with binaural production the sound isn´t in your ears it´s in your head like Dolby Atmos or so.
Moltres is in plain sight im Victory Road so you see it and it makes you aware of the birds. For the remakes, everyone already knows the birds, so they gave it a special spot
17:20 frankly, I'd consider didyouknowgaming's video on the topic pretty bad. They don't actually disprove any of the evidence for the theory, they simply said that a bunch of Pokémon weigh the same, and that it has never been confirmed by anyone apart of Game Freak...but again, this doesn’t disprove it from being true. There's a bunch of things that are "canon" within the Pokémon games without Game Freak outright confirming its canonicity. One most notable example is the entire Pokémon timeline tweet that was quickly deleted and never acknowledged again
It wasn’t just the thing about the fossil being selected, it’s was more that the luck of the draw would have it that every time they had to get a water type Pokémon they fluffed it- and the game kept going, and struggling against everyone when they really badly needed a water Pokémon for the type advantage… including the Flareon who became known as the false prophet because when everyone was praying for Vaporeon and the water stone to be selected the meddlesome chat input the directions to select the fire stone instead. And all our hopes rested upon Omanite(Omastar) the Omen finally sent to save us from dying repeatedly on Cinnabar Island in the Fire Mansion against Blaine. It came along just when we needed it the most pulling our collective asses outta the fire (literally) so that we could continue the game finally.
I remember hearing about Bill's garden in gen 1. Apparently, if traded the Raichu to the trainer (don't remember where) & revisit after beating Elite Four, he would say "The Raichu you traded me just evolved". If you then went & spoke to Bill 100 times, he would take you into the garden & give you Pikablu... 🤦🏻♀️🤣
Red, Blue and Yellow are masterful game design. The game is so special. You get a feeling that there is so much more to the game than on the surface. A underrated Masterpiece.
I’m sorry.. you’re saying Pokémon red blue and yellow.. games that launched a company into one of the biggest franchises in the medium.. billions of dollars later.. is underrated
@@CriTicOfsOrts Not everybody likes pokemon. Its only the people grew up with pokemon that likes it. I know so people who are gamers that never gave Pokemon Red a chance or never experienced it. So yes its underrated.
If you're saying that pokemon blue/red/yellow, a game that started one of the most successful franchises in the whole world is underrated, then sorry but you clearly don't know what the word "underrated" means. Lol
I ran to my collection of topps cards and found a fixed version of Peacemaker Pikachu but found a Here comes trouble... card that used the Buru/Pikablu names, very neat thank you!
Bills secret garden is accessible with gameshark walk through walls code. Turn off right before you enter the location, and you end up in a glitch city with crazy levelled pokemon. Another additional urban legend was that if you took one of these dratinis over lvl 100 and raised it from level one (when you use it in battle it would revert to lvl 1) all the way from lvl 1 to lvl 100, it would evolve into Yoshi. It did not.
I will point out that there was actually 40 pokemon cut from Gen 1 as Mew was added to the game after the decision to cut the roster down to 150. thanks to a leaked prototype build of japanese blue we actually do know what 40 of these pokemon would have been! Some are thanks to interviews/the satoshi tajiri manga meanwhile for the ones that have existing data in the leaked prototype it is just the backsprites that exist in game.
The Secret Garden from Bill is actually accessible with Save/Surf glitch, (Look up next to water, save and close game, then turn on gameboy and use surf and will pass through wall) but pokemon you will find in this area are common ones.
To elaborate on two particular points: The reason the old man says their "Raichu" evolved is because the Pokemon you trade him was changed from the japanese release, but the text was left the same on the international release. I don't remember off the top of my head which Pokemon it, but it shouldn't be too hard a search. The infamous "Buy it or die" message supposedly present in the first Kanto remakes has been proved to actually be from a ROM hack that literally just added that line to the game. It's believed that it was done so it could be shared on the internet as a legit ROM, and considering that the message is, again, infamous on the community, I think it worked.
I read that in the Blue Japanese version the original trade was a Kadabra in exchange for a Graveler, and they are indeed Pokémon that make sense they evolve that way. So, all in all, it was an oversight. Greetings!
Pokemon orgins pretty much confirmed the red kill's blue's raticate theory. His nidoking kocked blue's raticate out a ss anne window and threw it overboard. It drowned in the sea. I also feel like x and y confirms the pokemon war theory too lol.
There is in fact a glitch you can perform to aquire mew in red and blue version. It has to do with battling specific pokemon (with matching spec stats to the mews hexadecimal id) running into specific trainers and before the exclamation pops up hitting the start button and using either dig or teleport to cerulean city then going north to nugget bridge, and boom, as soon as you step on the bridge you enter a battle with a wild mew.
That's precisely the Mew glitch. You can do it with different trainers and depending on some factors you can get other unobtainable Pokémon like Gengar or Alakazam.
It's not called the Mew Glitch, which you may already know. It's called the Trainer Fly glitch. And yes, you can use it to obtain almost every pokemon in the game, there are a few exceptions such as Kangaskhan that cannot be obtained this way. @@RealEisenBerg
I heard the truck myth when i was a kid but in my area there was a myth about the little island on your way to victory road would take you to the orange islands by circling it.
Mew was handed out for free at mall tours in the US. Toys R Us also had a scratch off ticket Mew giveaway where you could win a Mew trade from a cartridge that the store was given. This giveaway was limited and probably wasnt well known because every Toys R Us i went to basically gave me the whole stack of tickets and i got close to a 100 Mews
9:55 I really think that Professor Oak was meant to be the champion because the animation in the beginning of the game; the one with Nidorino & Gengar, has been revealed throughout the years to be Agatha and Oak’s Pokemon League battle. It made perfect sense for him to be the final boss and I suspect that he was fully intended to be until late into development when Game Freak realized that Blue’s arc…just kind of abruptly ends. No closure. Nothing. My theory is once they realized this, they swapped him out for Oak as the final boss!
1:44 that's definitely used in the game, it's just just one "instrument" that is normally mixed with others. I can imagine the rest of the song with it, i just can't remember what area it's from.
Due to being a lil kid when gen 1 came out, I didn't have access to any events/internet/ect and went through the game fully blind, since the only thing I knew was that the kids all loved the cards at school. Didn't even know distribution events were a thing until like...gen3 or 4. XD So over the years it's been fun to learn a lotta the lore & all. I attempted the Mew Glitch first time last year and was so excited to get one since I never did as a kid.
An exclusively iceberg channel is ambitious. You provided very little context for these entries. Icebergs really should be handled by specialized channels that have a deep familiarity with the topic. Like the Evil Magikarp entry is explained time and time again by the fact that the Spanish translation of RBY was a translation of a translation of a translation. That Spanish translation would then become the translation for other language translations further carrying on the errors.
I'm 99% sure Mew was called the Foetus Pokémon in either english or french version of pkmn blue/red/yellow or pokémon stadium ; thus he is the ancestor of all pokémon because every pokémon has been a foetus. As the mechanism of eggs should have been in red and blue already, maybe pokémon was way more into genetics since the beginning but it tends to disappear due to lack of memory. But I remember how pokemon, as a license, came at the same time of the first research about clones, the goat called Dolly, and all the contreverse that followed about what is a living being and ethical questions. The pokémon movie did came with a few of these ideas but it could have been way more deeper. All this laboratory on the island (don't have the english name) and all this thing with mewtwo. Yet they let us just speculate.
when i was a child playing pokemon blue, I always made a point of trying to leave lavender town before the soundtrack drops the ear-shattering frequencies. I didn't realize that it affected more people than just me! wild
The Professor Oak battle should have been a real part of the game. It would have been a cool twist and its good that he ends up training the starter who is left over.
Not only that imo they should have it be a battle for every pokemon game going forward.
A battle you unlock by catching all the pokemon so far.
Not specifically just Oak though. Each game adds a new professor so adding a battle with each of them for completing the pokedex would be a nice reward ontop of the shiny charm.
That and it makes any future remakes even more sought after, as both new and old fans would want to fight the professor of one of their fave games for the first time!

Weezing and Koffing being called "New York" and "Los Angeles" is pretty damn funny.
Lmfao I know right

I suspect people found the glitch, and then just experimented until they got pokemon they wanted to encounter from the glitch.
Yes, I love all the glitches in the first gen
I think it's based on the pokemon's special stat IIRC
I tried to watch another TH-cam channel do these Pokemon icebergs, about gen 1, and it was painfully obvious that they didn't play gen 1. It's cool to feel the nostalgia in your voice and anecdotes about growing up with it.
I remember being a kid and seeing Mr.Fuji in Pokémon Crystal with all the baby Pokémon sprites somewhere outside ice cave.

Loved your story!
As a veteran Pokémon player there were some things I didn’t know from this video. Excellent work on the research. 10/10 video.
I really appreciate it! It's incredible what we can still find after decades.
Thank you for your service sir! God bless the troops
Then you are not a veteran you are a newbie learning new things.
Same here
@@trev6535Lol bro said "Veteran Pokémon Player" not war veteran 😂😂😂😂
The *"Raichu went and evolved"* dialogue is translated text from Japanese Blue in which the trade in question was Kadabra for Graveler and the same thing happens after the Poliwhirl-Jynx trade in Cerulean City (it was Haunter for Machoke in JP Blue.) Basically, the international games used the script from JP Blue and the original trades from Red & Green but the translators failed to check or alter the dialogue of these two NPCs. The dialogue was corrected in FRLG to *“Has the Jynx/Electrode I traded you grown any stronger?”*
Indeed, but there was also this Gorochu that was supposed to be Raichu evolution
Another interesting theory is the one about how butterfree and venomoth were accidentally switched in development. Butterfree’s design shares a lot more similarities with venomoth’s pre-evolution and vice versa. (I still like the way it is now though lol 🦋)

I don’t think the veno butter theory holds up I think u can chalk it up to one guy making all the original designs and just reused features(by the logic nodoking and ryhdon could be switched) I think a more compelling theory is that flygon was switched from the bagon line obviously the name but the shiny color is the base color scheme (roughly) to bagon’s
@@tannerlawrence4287 I've got actually no idea why anyone would look at dratini/dragonair and think their natural evolution would be gyarados. And why a single fish would suddenly become a bi-pedal winged dragon.
I know Dragonite out-right doesn't really look anything like dragonair or magikarp or really any other pokemon for that matter. The only way I'd understand this is if there was something to go on suggesting dragonite was a last minute addition and maybe the snake-like body theory would be that Gyarados was dragonair's original evolution only to be swapped later? names perhaps being finalized later ofc naturally. Really I guess the weakest argument that nobody here is making would be that the names disproof or proof anything when any reasonable person would know the names came later.
Pokegods were a big part of my Pokemon fandom experience back in the day.
Some early Pokemon names were actually used in the anime in some languages, Aria and Ariala being the most noticeable, but Parasyte and Kokoon were clearly used as well. At least now that translation oddity is explained.
Love watching these at night! Especially for Gen 1. Gives me that creepy and uneasy feeling
Completely unrelated, but I adored that footage of activating the invisible PC, because Panda is what I would always name my character in Pokémon games as a kid

For examples, to translate pokemon moves, Game freak sent to the translators the English name of the pokemon moves without telling them they was Pokemon moves.

The move "counter" was translated as "contatore", which refers to an counting instrument.
Yes, the same thing with pound in Germany. I was always so confused about this name 😂
Hyper Beam didn't need to charge if it KO'd its target... That's brilliant!
A super powerful move that doesn't need to charge as long as its going to KO.
I love the idea of thinking, "Im pretty sure this will KO, but can I risk it?"
but only in the GB games. As soon as you played it on Stadium this was fixed
@@Zanji1234 Yeah, I was saying it would be cool if they intentionally introduced a move like that now.
If you click it, and it's not going to KO then it has to charge.
But if it KO's the opposing mon that turn them it doesn't need to.
It would make some interesting moments and be a unique mechanic that has never (purposefully) existed before.
@@L0ve1tRetr0 sounds yeah but i'm not into competitive to know how broken that would be xD
I really like the Gen II video you did. Excited for a Gen III video!
I'll make sure it's better than the previous ones. Greetings!
Just wanted to say so happy to see someone else remembered Tales from the Glitch, given the Glitch City postcard image!
I will always maintain that I once accidentally went to glitch city. I was messing around with safari zone, left, then went into that poke mart or poke center (I forget which one is right there), then i walked out into glitch city.. I didn’t have missingno or had done anything weird with the game. It was maybe my 3rd play through of the game.. Then many years later I watch a video on glitch city. I was like “well damn..” 🐬
the glitched Hall of Fame music starting at 1:45 is just the lead melody part of the Celadon City theme slightly slowed down
Even after 25 years, there's still new stuff to learn about these games.
They gave mew away at the mall tour they did. Back in the 90's. We played a 3 round set and you got the mew before the tournament started. Each round won you got a badge. So in less words. Mew was given to thousands of kids in the US.
I never realized how many pokemon shared cries!
And I think Starmie's cry is actually a sped-up variation of Mewtwo's as well.
Same and the cries are eerily scary lowkey
Off top. Parasect and Mewtwo come to mind.
2:44 i have 2 of these certificates from a nintendo event
Very rare items indeed!
Very nice iceberg video, surprised that many of the entries I never heard about despite watching a few Pokémon icebergs before. Awesome job 🔥🔥
Koffing and Wheezing named after New York and Los Angeles is classic😂
4:16 Fun fact: In the Fire Red and Leaf Green remakes Gamefreak hid a Lava cookie there too. 😂
amazing video, but on the unused tracks at 26:20 it is used for the clefairy dance in Gen 2. It’s just difficult to trigger the event. Correct me if i’m wrong
Awesome content!! This hits the spot. Keep it up!

Very well researched video. It was a pleasant watch.
I love the implication that anyone could mistake _Mr Mime_ of all things for being Yakuza

I mean technically there are already over 65k versions of the same game because everyone’s trainer ID is different, with up to ~65k combinations
That is the final remnant of that system.

Bills secret garden is accessible with gameshark walk through walls code. Turn off right before you enter the location, and you end up in a glitch city with crazy levelled pokemon. Another additional urban legend was that if you took one of these dratinis over lvl 100 and raised it from level one (when you use it in battle it would revert to lvl 1) all the way from lvl 1 to lvl 100, it would evolve into Yoshi. It did not.
Sick video I love you Eisenberg
Thank you Elfboy! More videos are in the making.
I will point out that there was actually 40 pokemon cut from Gen 1 as Mew was added to the game after the decision to cut the roster down to 150. thanks to a leaked prototype build of japanese blue we actually do know what 40 of these pokemon would have been! Some are thanks to interviews/the satoshi tajiri manga meanwhile for the ones that have existing data in the leaked prototype it is just the backsprites that exist in game.
The Secret Garden from Bill is actually accessible with Save/Surf glitch, (Look up next to water, save and close game, then turn on gameboy and use surf and will pass through wall) but pokemon you will find in this area are common ones.
That intro is everything 😍
1990 mon sprites and the art work just looked so good u feel?
That spanish pronunciation was so good! Do you speak spanish?
I do, my friend! In fact, I have a Spanish version of my channel called ''EisenBerg en Español'' if you feel like checking it out. Saludos!
To elaborate on two particular points:
The reason the old man says their "Raichu" evolved is because the Pokemon you trade him was changed from the japanese release, but the text was left the same on the international release. I don't remember off the top of my head which Pokemon it, but it shouldn't be too hard a search.
The infamous "Buy it or die" message supposedly present in the first Kanto remakes has been proved to actually be from a ROM hack that literally just added that line to the game. It's believed that it was done so it could be shared on the internet as a legit ROM, and considering that the message is, again, infamous on the community, I think it worked.
I read that in the Blue Japanese version the original trade was a Kadabra in exchange for a Graveler, and they are indeed Pokémon that make sense they evolve that way. So, all in all, it was an oversight. Greetings!
Raichu also had a scrapped evolution called Gorochu. It was scrapped fairly early in development, though.
a lot of these things (about lore) are explained in the Pokemon manga, about blaine, mew and mewtwo.
Pokemon orgins pretty much confirmed the red kill's blue's raticate theory. His nidoking kocked blue's raticate out a ss anne window and threw it overboard. It drowned in the sea.
I also feel like x and y confirms the pokemon war theory too lol.
Great video man.
There is in fact a glitch you can perform to aquire mew in red and blue version. It has to do with battling specific pokemon (with matching spec stats to the mews hexadecimal id) running into specific trainers and before the exclamation pops up hitting the start button and using either dig or teleport to cerulean city then going north to nugget bridge, and boom, as soon as you step on the bridge you enter a battle with a wild mew.
That's precisely the Mew glitch. You can do it with different trainers and depending on some factors you can get other unobtainable Pokémon like Gengar or Alakazam.
It's not called the Mew Glitch, which you may already know. It's called the Trainer Fly glitch. And yes, you can use it to obtain almost every pokemon in the game, there are a few exceptions such as Kangaskhan that cannot be obtained this way. @@RealEisenBerg
@@Vourneactually its called the mew glitch u F kN fool
Funny thing is, we now have TWO recent Pokemon based on Mechagodzilla: Duraludon in Sword/Shield and Iron Thorns in Scarlet/Violet.
Also Mecha Tyranitar in Pokestar studios (altough this is some time ago)
lavendor town has the stupidest rumors for one of the best locations in all of pokemon
I heard the truck myth when i was a kid but in my area there was a myth about the little island on your way to victory road would take you to the orange islands by circling it.
This video should have more than 1 million views, it is so good!
Thanks a lot, friend! I hope at least it reaches 10k!
Mew was handed out for free at mall tours in the US. Toys R Us also had a scratch off ticket Mew giveaway where you could win a Mew trade from a cartridge that the store was given. This giveaway was limited and probably wasnt well known because every Toys R Us i went to basically gave me the whole stack of tickets and i got close to a 100 Mews
i got a huge stack of Eon tickets (in the brochures) from an event where they were packing up for the day, and some free figures and pins too
I saw you chose to omit "MewThree" or "mecha mewtwo" from the list of pokegods, even though you showed the famous anime clip that inspired it 18:51
24:42 that unused song was used for the fusion theme of pokemon infinite fusions
9:55 I really think that Professor Oak was meant to be the champion because the animation in the beginning of the game; the one with Nidorino & Gengar, has been revealed throughout the years to be Agatha and Oak’s Pokemon League battle.
It made perfect sense for him to be the final boss and I suspect that he was fully intended to be until late into development when Game Freak realized that Blue’s arc…just kind of abruptly ends.
No closure. Nothing.
My theory is once they realized this, they swapped him out for Oak as the final boss!
1:44 that's definitely used in the game, it's just just one "instrument" that is normally mixed with others. I can imagine the rest of the song with it, i just can't remember what area it's from.
this was a super interesting video
They should have picked a random game and added Mew under the truck LOL
How can you hear that magical 8 bit music and not realize why Gen 1 was the best, despite all it's flaws.
Due to being a lil kid when gen 1 came out, I didn't have access to any events/internet/ect and went through the game fully blind, since the only thing I knew was that the kids all loved the cards at school. Didn't even know distribution events were a thing until like...gen3 or 4. XD So over the years it's been fun to learn a lotta the lore & all. I attempted the Mew Glitch first time last year and was so excited to get one since I never did as a kid.
The song? 0:27 Goosebumps 🥶 Great Video!
Power Plant Remix by DjTheFishHead. Thank you so much!
@@RealEisenBerg no. thank you 🙌🏻
I still want to see a deepening of mews jungle and it becoming an actual region.
Jokes on the internet, I never needed lavender town to feel depressed.
The sailor in a bootleg copy of fire green caught me so off-guard when i was 12 years old
Oh boy, at least the PokeGods part is a straight read from Bulbapedia. That's not a vibe.
For the similar cries - you forgot: Machamp/Machoke and Slowbro.
Subscribed! Nice one.
El malvado magikarp knows how much you hate wet socks, so he comes to splash
The “unused music” is just one of the sound channels for a town.
Interesting channel! Subbed.
Welcome to the community!
An exclusively iceberg channel is ambitious. You provided very little context for these entries. Icebergs really should be handled by specialized channels that have a deep familiarity with the topic. Like the Evil Magikarp entry is explained time and time again by the fact that the Spanish translation of RBY was a translation of a translation of a translation. That Spanish translation would then become the translation for other language translations further carrying on the errors.
I'm 99% sure Mew was called the Foetus Pokémon in either english or french version of pkmn blue/red/yellow or pokémon stadium ; thus he is the ancestor of all pokémon because every pokémon has been a foetus. As the mechanism of eggs should have been in red and blue already, maybe pokémon was way more into genetics since the beginning but it tends to disappear due to lack of memory.
But I remember how pokemon, as a license, came at the same time of the first research about clones, the goat called Dolly, and all the contreverse that followed about what is a living being and ethical questions.
The pokémon movie did came with a few of these ideas but it could have been way more deeper. All this laboratory on the island (don't have the english name) and all this thing with mewtwo. Yet they let us just speculate.
Underrated youtuber alert
36:38 That’s why there’s 39 glitch Pokemon.
We know what some of them were supposed to be: Slugma, houndour, Togepi, marill.
Goodness, I love and miss these games.
Nice video!!!
when i was a child playing pokemon blue, I always made a point of trying to leave lavender town before the soundtrack drops the ear-shattering frequencies. I didn't realize that it affected more people than just me! wild
Thanks for this.. this was fun
My pleasure :)
good work!!
