Something something fair use something something
Another fun fact about Elio and Selene; Elio stares blankly in SuMo because he’s always deeply lost in his thoughts. Selene stares blankly because there are ZERO thoughts in there
Masters EX actually acknowledges their blank expression by having them be that way when Elesa makes a lame pun.
that's just poor explanations to how GF couldn't animate expressions for the players because of the laziness
@@theamazingspooderman2697 Masters EX acknowledges that expression, as they make that blank stare after Elesa makes a bad pun.
@@wikiuser92 thats what Im talking about, instead of spending time to animate expressions amd fix the laziness, they made up this excuse instead (even USUM still has the same blank expression-less face)
@@theamazingspooderman2697 I don't think it's an excuse. It was retconned as a character trait.
Both Wes and Michael use their right arm to send out their pokemon, and use their left arm to throw Snag Balls.
It also doesn't have anything to do with being ambidextrous or anything, at least in the case of michael (I only played XD) he uses his left hand because that's where he wears the snag machine that lets him to catch other people's pokemon. Using that on wild pokemon is totally pointless so he uses his other hand.
@@IXPStaticIIn both games, the snag machine is on the left arm.
Weird…
The outifits and hairstyles are the same in both Scarlet and Violet, but the characters will treat you as he or she, depending on your choice when picking a character, the 4 on the left are boys and the 4 on the right are girls
Yeah, your mother refers to you as a boy or a girl in the first few minutes of gameplay. I don't know where he took the idea that the player character's gender is never referenced from
@@DanielPereira-ey9ntIt seems to be a misconception based on the fact that both characters can be made to look like a boy or girl because they have exactly the same options for customization
Yeah I noticed several npcs calling me young master or young man. But the player character is in general a bit more ambiguous than before
Not only that, but despite having the same clothing options there are subtle differences in the models between the two (especially on the leg and chest area)
as a girl you also have some eyelashes that stick out as well
5:35 Most likely won’t be canon, but in Pokemon Masters EX, Hilbert did reunite with N in N’s event! (Hilbert is the canon Black and White protag in Masters, and Hilda COMPLETELY missed the whole Team Plasma takeover at the League since she was so focused on the Battle Subway)
Pokemon masters is its own canon but I love it expands the lore of the main series games in its own way 😅
Hilbert also seems to be from a different universe than Ghetsis, since both have a Kyurem.
@@PMbarbierithere are multiples of nearly every legendary and mythical in the PoMa continuity, so that’s to be expected.
@@drm726
Yes, but they are usually explained by Hoopa bringing them to Pasio, Kyurem seems to have been captured in Unova in both cases. To be fair, Ghetsis shouldn’t even have his Kyurem anymore, so who knows what happened in his timeline.
@@drm726
There’s also the fact that some legendaries are not unique, while others most certainly are, and Kyurem is clearly on the latter side given its very specific origins.
Gender is specified in Scarlet and Violet, multiple times, in fact!
Literaly in the first 5 minutes in fact💀
Other fun facts about these characters:
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from _Pokémon Red and Green_ correspond to his earlier _Capsule Monsters_ artwork instead of his final Generation I artwork. The title screen sprite was updated for _Pokémon Blue_ but the profile front sprite wasn't.
In _Pokémon Yellow,_ he lacks a title screen sprite but his front sprite was updated to match his official artwork, and possibly in part to match Ash Ketchum, hsince the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as Ash's hat from the original series.
* Leaf's was actually designed for the cover of _Pokémon Red and Green's_ official strategy guide, not for the games themselves. He wanted to portray a trio of Trainers facing off against each other, hence designed the female character for the cover.
The female character was adapted into Leaf and later Green, though it should be noted Sugimori took the unnamed female character into consideration when he was designing the former.
He also mentioned that the _FireRed and LeafGreen_ female protagonist did not have a name at the time of his writing, in November 2012.
* On the "Area" map on the Pokédex in _HeartGold and SoulSilver,_ Ethan's headshot sprite shows his hat from _Gold and Silver._ Also Ethan actually did face off against Ash in the beginning of _Zoroark: Master of Illusions,_ where he uses a Donphan.
* Kris actually coexists with Lyra in _Pokémon Masters EX,_ and has a Feraligatr, a Jolteon, and a Suicune (though it is clarified that the latter is not the one she encountered in Johto).
* According to Pokégear calls, along with her Marill, Lyra owns a Tauros, a Bulbasaur, a Porygon, and a Tangela. Like Kris she owns several other Pokémon in _Masters EX,_ including a Jigglypuff, a Vaporeon, a Phanpy, and a Celebi.
* Pre-release media for _Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire_ suggests that Brendan and May were going to receive new names for the remake, being Orlando and Anna in English and Omega and Alpha in Japanese.
* While Lucas is shown to own an Infernape in _Pokémon Masters EX,_ you can't actually obtain a sync pair of the two. Instead, he instead uses a Dialga and a Flareon. However, this creates an inconsistency, as Dawn and Barry are shown with a Torterra and an Empoleon, and since Lucas' appearance in the game is based on his NPC appearance, he and Barry should technically have swapped first partners.
* Continuing on from the video's fact, if they player chose Piplup, Dawn’s team consists of Pokémon Ash and Paul used throughout the Diamond and Pearl anime except for her Gorebyss. Specifically, Paul also owns a Honchkrow and Froslass while Ash owns a Sceptile, Infernape (which was originally Paul’s as a Chimchar) and owned Dawn's Ambipom when it was an Aipom.
If the player chooses Chimchar Dawn's entire team will consist of Pokémon used by a major trainer in the Diamond and Pearl anime. Namely, Torterra is owned by both Ash and Paul, with Ash also owning a Mr. Mime, Brock has a Crobat, Blastoise and Arcanine are both owned by Gary Oak, and Conway has a Lickilicky.
* According to game scenario author Toshinobu Matsumiya, Hilda and Hilbert were initially visualized to be at the age of 16, which would make them the oldest main series protagonists. In addition, they were planned to be battled at the Pokémon World Tournament.
* Both Nate and Rosa have interesting trivia related to _Pokémon Masters EX._
First off, Nate is the only protagonist in the game to not own a first partner Pokémon.
Secondly, Rosa is not only the first trainer the player recruits in the game with her Snivy (that evolves), Serperior, but she also has a Delibird, Sky Forme Shaymin, Dewott, and Meloetta.
* Calem and Serena can reach the rank of Grand Duke/Duchess in the Battle Chateau by defeating most of the trainers there. Notably, while Serena is the only other character with this trainer class besides Diantha, having Calem reach the rank is the only time the Trainer class Grand Duke appears in-game.
* Remember how the player character in _Sun and Moon_ often has a blank expression regardless of the situation? _Pokémon Masters EX_ poked fun at this by revealing that Elio and Selene actually do that because they're taking time to think about what's going on around them.
Also, promotional videos and trailers for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon refer to them as Ray and Ailey, which would honestly kinda lean into the multiverse angle those games had.
* In an event in _Pokémon Masters EX,_ both Chase and Elaine claim they helped the other one out in battles while in Kanto, referencing to the co-op feature from _Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!_
* During a scene where the player, along with Sonia and Hop, are at Bob's Your Uncle at Circhester City, if the player picks the gag response to Sonia's question about the tapestry there, Victor/Gloria will actually speak and say "Exactly! Bob, with his brilliant smile must be part of the legend!", making Sonia react in disbelief. This makes it the only time Victor and Gloria can directly speak in the main series games.
* Rei and Akari appear in the present day in _Pokémon Masters EX,_ having arrived on Pasio by traveling through a space-time rift, where the former also mentions that present-day Pasio feels familiar to him, but he doesn't think this is the world he was originally from. It has also been pointed out by multiple characters in the game, about the similarities between them and Lucas and Dawn.
* Speaking of appearances, Florian is shown with black hair in concept art, though his key artwork depicts him with brown hair. Despite this, the promotional poster for the Teal Mask depicts Florian with black hair.
Juliana also wears the summer uniform of Naranja/Uva Academy in the regular artwork, the spring uniform of Blueberry Academy in the regular artwork of The Indigo Disk, and the autumn and summer uniforms of Blueberry Academy in the art for the BB League and the final art for The Indigo Disk, respectively.
* Wes is around 17 years old, and about 5'04" to 5'07 in height.
* Michael is about 4'07". In addition, he was originally planned to start with a level 26 Jolteon and level 30 Vaporeon, and is shown a level 40 Gardevoir and Parasect in the game's demo.
* There are some actually interesting facts regarding Nate and Cyndy, being that all Nate's Pokémon hold a plate that boosts their coverage move, meanwhile Cyndy is the only protagonist to start with a final three-stage evolution, being her Pidgeot.
*Forgotten in this video are Scottie and Bettie, the protagonists of _Pokémon Masters EX._ While they start with Pikachu, they can obtain a Regirock, Cobalion, Mesprit, Registeel, and Alcremie, as well as various Pokémon hatched from Eggs.
However, alongside their Pikachu in the final battle against their rival Paulo, they use their Torchic, which they received from a Rising Star named Stella after helping her find her own Torchic, and Solgaleo, which the player befriended after battling it multiple times atop a mountain in Pasio.

Very interesting information
@@primrosevale1995
I’d argue that Lucas’s appearance in Masters is NOT based on his NPC version, given that he’s the one with the legendary Pokémon, but maybe he’s a combination of the two?
@@PMbarbieri His character description mentions how he is Professor Rowan's assistant from Sandgem Town.
@@primrosevale1995
Then it could be possible that he’s a combination.
@@primrosevale1995
Then it could be possible that he’s a combination.
Honestly Xavier and Yvonne are way cooler names than Calem and Serena, I hope they use those names for the legends game that would be a sick obscure reference
It might be because French is my first language, but I find Xavier and Yvonne so much worse. I think it's because they are really old names that very few young people have too.
@@lechienkaraba yeah I suppose that’s a fair take
They actually use those names in the adventures manga, shortened to simply X and Y
@@lechienkaraba Yeah, Xavier is like a boomer name and Yvonne a grandma (if not great grandma) name. It would be like calling the main character of the Unova games Cletus
In Masters EX, Hilbert reunites with N and says that he's been looking for him because N's departure was so sudden that he didn't have the chance to say goodbye.
Dawn's team is like that because all of her teams must have a Grass/Fire/Water trio, so they sacrificed Pachirisu to make that happen.
Fun fact: Calem and Serena are actually called X and Y in the manga. And it’s revealed that Y’s real name is Yvonne, and Y is just a nickname. I don’t think we ever find out X’s real name, but I’m guessing it was probably Xavier
In the Adventures manga, the protagonists are given the same names as the mainline games.
@@swapnilphadke3535 to clarify, they don't have the names from the games. They are named after the games themselves. Like Brendan is just called Ruby
Babe wake up, a new AuraGuardian has been uploaded
6:20 The name Yvonne did end up getting used for her Pokémon Adventures counterpart, even shortened to Y for the most part. However, Calem's counterpart is just called X.
@@neverttheguy2670 When I red the manga, I assumed that X's full name would've been a twist or something lol because they revealed Yvonne really early
“Not only is your gender never specified” one of the first few lines after the introduction is literally “so you want to take my son/daughter to naranja/uva academy?” It very much is specified.
help i read naranja as marijuana academy
@@Ostralucia “420 blazeit” - clavell
Yes exactly and the characters still use pronouns depending on which character you chose
@@pikasheep that too.
9:14 JOE BIDEN!???
Why didn't Wes talk? Or be explored more as a character? It's an rpg for Christ's sake, he's literally the coolest Pokemon mc to ever exist, his fit is fire, he rides around in a mad max style hover motorcycle, starts off with an Umbreon and Espeon, formerly a villain team member, etc c'mon!
I suppose as Red would say, "Words are unnecessary."
Technically helios and Selene are titans there’s a weird distinction but it’s necessary
"Today's video is about... you!" Aww! Little ol' me?
If they remake HG/SS they should bump Red’s team to level 100. That would be intense.
It would be cool if Kris returned in a future (Johto) game.
Kris would be alright as a 2nd rival
It could be that Professor Oak did ask Red, Blue, and Leaf about the Poké Dex but figured "Why not ask these kids too?" since more heads and perspectives on the project could be helpful.
Florian and Julianas gender is stated multiple times through npc dialouge always using he/him if Florian is picked and she/her if Juliana is picked
1:58 Ah yes, the man that is the sole Toei bootlicker of the DB dub cast and wants TeamFourStar to rot in hell.
As an example of his hatred towards TFS, during (I think) the Kai version of the Buu Saga, Funimation had the TFS gang included as the VAs for actors in a stage play/gag recap of the Cell Saga. Now Comcast on demand had released this episode before they officially aired on normal TV and most people by have theorized that it was in fact Sean Schemmel himself that ratted to Toei about this.
Toei's hatred of them is on another level. Like heaven forbid voice actors get jobs or something. Honestly I'm disappointed that the dub bent to their demands.
@@BJGvideos Except for one little bit of Lani's Krillin voice as part of an ad blurb talking about Mr. Satan merch was kept in.
@@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933 Huh that's interesting.
Wasn't he also involved in the whole scheme in getting Vic kicked out of Funimation?
@@lainiwakura1776 That was the dub VA for Bulma, Monica (Can't remember her last name).
8:45 Actually, Director Clavell will refer to you as ‘Master [X]’ or ‘Miss [X]’, so your character does have a confirmed gender. I believe that’s the only instance though. So close to an androgynous character.
1:50 look... but "Jimmy" interacted with ash in 13º movie, when ash and battled against gold/ethan/jimmy's dolphan or that count as gold/ethan?
6:18 xavier and yvonne are actually their names in the pokemon adventures x and y manga! their friends call them "x" and "y" for short. i wonder why they kept the original names for only the manga?
@@moon-zd3re Yvonne's used in the manga but Xavier isn't
We also see Jimmy(gold) and marina (chris)from the anime during the finals
0:30 he said was? What’s the new highest? And what are the exceptions??
Notification squad, where ya at?
here
Here
That would be me
Hereee
The gender ambiguity thing is kinda lame. Makes the characters even less distinct, which was a huge problem in Pokémon having really bad same face syndrome. Boys and girls are different quit making them so samey
Just two small corrections
1) I'm greek, and while it's entire likely Elio and Selene are named after the Greek Gods Helios (Ήλιος) and Selene (Σελήνη), I think it's also worth noting that Ήλιος is the literal word we use for Sun, same goes for Σελήνη and the moon.
2) The Scarlet and Violet protagonists do have genders, despite the fact that you can make them look near identical. At some points in the game, characters reder to you in the third person, and they do use he/him or she/her depending on your original choice
5:58 Spanish Nate is RIZZO!
Hilbert/Hilda (most likely Hilbert) looking for N is kinda further referenced in Pokémon Masters EX.
When N debuted in Masters EX and arrived in Pasio, there's a story continuity between Hilbert and N, discussing why N bid farewell after defeating Ghetsis and going down memory lane from the first time you met.
I think it's confirmed by the game designer that he forgot kris existed hence how lyra took her place 😂
I thought he would’ve included the manga characters since he had one in the thumbnail lmao
Stop cursing its a sin dude
Actually, in Scarlet/Violet, gender is specified based on if you pick one of the boys or girls. I have seen dialogue in the game where I was referred to as Ms. (insert name here) by the director and I picked the girl as my avatar.
8:44 false, your mother will refer to you as her daughter or son depending on the "style" you choose actually
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I love this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
I love Pokemon all franchise
But my name ain't Brendan 😂😂
7:28 it has to be different versions of them as team rocket has their plan from og rgby even having the poke tower and Giovanni as the 8th gym leader that blue takes over after defeating him
I think it's really cool that the protags in BW created such a close bond with N through just from fighting opposing ideals
what?? if they're not related, then why does finding arceus in legends arceus allow you to find arceus in brilliant diamond and shining pearl??!
Kris was also Lyra in the manga. Its that her mom yave her the hg/ss outfit
typhlosion only have eruption
nice. thanks.
The way how he pronounced Xavier was so funny
8:45 The NPCs still refer to you as he or she.
6:26 it's actually their Manga name too i believe
Green was not supposed to appear in the Gen I games at all: Sugimori only designed her because he wanted to draw a trio of trainers facing each other. This character was later added to the manga as Squirtle's trainer, and when the remakes were created, Sugimri used her appearance to design Leaf.
S/V does have gender references, many character refer you as a male or female depending if you choose the male or female looking character choice.
Fun fact: The Gen 9 protaganists are the only ones that have sideways eyes.
Bombastic side eye
6:13 fun fact: these are (kinda) their names in the manga, with serena being called Yvonne and Calem being "X" which one could assume is short for Xavier
The full names of Calem and Serena in the Pokémon adventures manga are Xavier and Yvonne I think
Would be great to have a fun facts about pokemon ranger or pokemon mystery dungeon(best spinoff)
The latter is
@@Ilikesceptile11 yes i was refering to that one
Sean Schemmel the goat
The douche*
Scarlett and Violet definitely does make references to your gender through NPC's choice of pronouns to refer to you.
You mention suspecting this will be the direction for the future of the series and I reckon you're right. SV had the best face and hair customization we've seen to date, so I honestly expect in the future we won't even pick a base trainer to customise but instead have a fully customisable protagonist.
However one thing I despised about SV was the fact that they wear the same clothes. Not that that is a bad thing, it would be fantastic for all clothing to be shared, except Gamefreak chose to achieve this by having us only choice between 4 school uniforms for the entire game until DLC, and all of them looked terrible imo. I mean hell, if you're trying to allow expression of gender, why is there no skirt or dress uniform for the cis girls? Let alone for the boys who would choose to wear it too, which feels like it should've been the whole point of the change to gender in those games. If we continue neutrality with gender, I expect to have the full range of clothing choices offered in Gen's 6, 7 and 8 available to anyone.
2 bonus facts:
+ Elio and Selene wasn't named untill USUM (at least on bulbapedia)
+ Elio is considered the cutest boy player and Juliana is considered the least cute girl player.
6:18 Adventures Kalos protagonists does use these names
Fun fact: In the Pokemon movies (more specifically Hoenn movie) Brendan (Hoenn Pokemon trainer) challenges Lucas (Sinnoh Pokemon Trainer) at the battle tower, and Gold in the Sinnoh Pokemon movie he challenges Ash for a battle and comes back on Pokemon Journeys M8 watching Lance vs Diantha
"ERM, actually, technically Helios is a TITAN, not a god. There's a difference" - is something I wouldn't say because I'm a nice guy. It's true though.
I’m a bit confused about one thing about Rei and Akari. In the beginning of LA it’s pretty clear you’re playing as either Lucas or Dawn, with Arceus transporting you back in time to Hisui, and the outfits you wear as you start playing the game are completely identical to Rei and Akari. So wouldn’t that mean Rei and Akari do have a connection to Lucas and Dawn?
Jimmy/Ethan is fighting Ash in a cameo in movie 13.
the hisui protacts are parallel universe versions to the gen 4 protacts that got sucked into the past (well rei is at least) acording to masters.
Another fun fact : Black and white 2 female protagonist was a member of team plasma during black and white storyline.
When I played SV with my mom we did the games side by side and completed the gyms together and scrolled through dialogue together, reading out loud. All the dialogue referred to me with He and my mom with She and so forth. The statement might be more that the characters never called me a boy or my mom a girl and never included gender specific dialogue rather than the pronouns, though this feels like reaching.
Technically wes isn't the only pokemon protagonist to be part of a evil team in the manga rosa was an ex plasma grunt
As much as the protags of Scarlet and Violet grew on me I hope they never do this again. I need my MCs to be drippy as Gloria and Victor
bro another fact about red is it thats in the first version red blue and green he chose bulbasaur but in fire re and leaf green he chose charmader same with leaf who chose at the first version squirtle and the fire red and leaf green she chose bulbasaur
dam, does that imply that lyra doesnt think her marill is happy with her? :(
Here's another fun Fact. Elio and Selene are the names of the protagonist for both Sun and Moon and the Uktra Games
Fun fact: did you know that Brendan is slightly sexist?
Pokemon never forgets. Kris will return...
I agree and I Hope so at the same time
Well, it’s been years since the last Johto game has released and she still hasn’t.
Aura PLEASE try returning to making Vs debating content it was so fucking funny😭🙏
In Pokémon scarlet you can pick a gender and character will refer to you as he or she. Sir or Madam
yo man keep up the good work!! nice vid
in the pokemon adventures manga calem is named x & serena is named yvonne
I remember when I first learned that the male main character of the let’s go games had my name, it was pretty amazing
The Name Ethan for Gold is really nice in English. Better as Klarin in German.
In Pokémon Adventures Serena’s counterpart Y’s real name is Yvonne
How do you know so much about me? Are you stalking me?
6:20 to be fair, Serena's name was Yvonne in the adventures manga
Another Aura video, man my day keeps getting better
Keep up the good work ❤
YO HE UPLOADED!
Yeah
TH-camrs tend to do that
red blue and leaf in lets go are the mega verse. It is different to the original games.
8:01 It is also a reference to God Save The King’s lyrics.
While scarlet and violet aren’t gender specific like other protagonists (to be more inclusive) it is important to know that if you pick anyone from the top 4 you will be referred to with he/him, and anyone from the bottom 4 will be referred by she/her, which they can’t really do anything besides having a screen that says “what would you like to be referred by?”
It must be a Mandela Effect for me because up until now, I thought Calem's name was Caleb. Am I remembering this wrong or is there a character called Caleb?
Nope, there’s no character named Caleb. I know the name of just about every major character in the games that has a name, and Caleb isn’t one of them. His name was always Calem.
Actually, For scarlet and violet
Your pronouns of He/She are determined by the beginning selection so there technically is a canonical gender in game
sean schemmel is also the gym leader clay
And the Tyson who beats Ash in the Hoenn League winning the whole tournament (Pikachu vs Meowth in the boots)
@@lucaslongolucasksenha7827 yea
Wes really is the coolest pokémon protagonist
I firmly stand by the fact that in Legends Arceus, the intent is that you play as Dawn or Lucas from BDSP (which were supposed to release first) with Rei or Akari being your rival. There are several things that support this from the character select screens mirroring each other to the "modern" room found in PLA's code that closely matches the BDSP bedroom. Even the official website introduces the character art as something like "your character and Rei or Akari" with only Masters calling the time-displaced amnesiac boy "Rei."
Seriously though, who else but the greatest Sinnoh Champion would Arceus have any reason to choose to save the past? Especially since clearing PLA lets you catch Arceus in BDSP.
Cool facts, though I feel like diving into the manga as well as Trainers EX could bring in even more examples. For example, Wes is not the only canonical former member of an evil team; Rosa was a former Team Plasma grunt in the manga.
You took 9 years
Just to clear something up. I believe in Let’s Go the Digital Pokédex hadn’t been made yet since we know there are two timelines with and without Megas and we’ve only seen the Mega timeline Red and Blue when they’re older. Blue also talks about how he helped write location data down for the Pokédex on a map during his journey.
A little correction for Julian and Juliana, I picked the "guy" character and npcs referred to me as young master and young man, idk if its the same if u pick the "girl" character, but it still seems the game somewhat treats u as either a girl or guy based on the first defult haircut u choose, but in general it does seem a bit more ambiguous and less explicit than before
I believe there are points where they refer to the the SV protags by gender. But those moments are very sparse and they barely matter anyway. It’s just fun that gender barely matters for playable characters especially for customization
In Traditional Chinese, the translator decided to use gendered second-person pronoun (你 for Florian, 妳 for Juliana) so it is basically everywhere
Clavell will refer to you by a gendered title sometimes but I just ignore that.
You should be allowed to select your pronouns in the newer games.
Also, if they are going to promote gender equality, then they should allow males to wear 'stereotypically feminine' clothing, and vice versa, instead of having near zero outfit customisation.
@@Mystmon That would be awesome.
only reason i know Chris from HGSS is because of Poketips and his hate for Lyra
Hi
8:46 characters in game will use he or she depending on what you chose for you base chatacter model the 4 on the left being he/him and the right being she/her
9:19 you can disguise yourself as team rocket in hgss and Rosa's counterpart in the manga was part of team plasma
bro can not say Xavier right 💀
You should pivot to gore content
