For the Diglett fact: there's also a unique interaction in the weight comparison feature (in I believe ORAS) in the Pokédex - while other Pokémon get lifted up for weighing purposes, Diglett just stays on the floor
@@kirfluffwhilst searching for the answer to this i found out that there is a company called Oras that makes precision scales for industrial purposes. However, i agree with you, there was definently a weight comparison thing between pokemon in the Oras pokedex

Not a big deal at all man. Chapters exist, you can tap the screen three times, or you can drag the scrubber for one tenth of a second. You're making a mountain out of a molehill, and pure laziness inspires your comment 😅
Since Reshiram and Zekrom's themes are slightly different from one another, I decided to check if Kyurem had anything specific to their theme, and there's in fact no sound effect for it, making Kyurem's theme the "original" theme, I think that's pretty cool!
@@rjd-kh8etThat's because Zekrom's version was the first version made most likely and when they increased the sound quality for the 3ds games, they forgot to do it them all seperately.
These are a compilation of his previous "Useless Obscure Facts," series. I'd have to check when the original containing that tidbit came out, but it could've been before gen 6 arrived in POGO.
@@Cometstarlight Tornadus came out in gen 5 (before gen 6 came out in POGO). At the time of the video, it was just before/after the release of the gen 6 games (which probably means the video was being worked on prior to the gen 6 release), and this same type of comment about Noibat has already been mentioned. He corrected it in a future episode.
My favorite part about these random fact videos is when it digs up a memory i forgot i had. I.E when my friends and i had the differing versions of Gen 5. I remember saying “i think its so cool how the fight theme has electricity for the legendaries” and my friend said “theres fire for them what do you mean” only to play them side by side and discover the difference
1:12:40 not sure if anyone has mentioned yet, but the special animation in Caterpie’s box when it reaches lv 7 is probably because that’s the level it evolves at 😊
The Bombirdier one, while true, wasn't since the original video that included the Tornadus fact was made when Sc/Vi wasn't released Edit: Fuck was it Legends Arceus
@@megasodaman88 Yea the video was 14 hours old when I posted my comment so the video itself wasn't outdated but as I kept watching I started to realize that a lot of the facts in the video were probably old recordings. Could've put some text on the screen while editing this maybe but eh. Not a big deal. Still a ton of cool facts!
I actually got the shiny event arceus! I got it traded to me back at the end of the lifetime of pokemon XY. Didn't know it was anything that special. The cartridge is in my mothers house, should look for it sometime lol
Fun fact. Illegal Pokemon caught in the HGSS wifi battle tower can bypass the hack filter on Pokebank/Poketransporter and so on. It is specifically Lv100 mons with a base stat of 130. Instead of the stat ending in 394, it is 396 instead.
The Waterfall fact brings me back to reading the players guides for Gens 1 and 2 as a kid so much when they came out that I found out about it on my own and then trained up a Seaking in Blue to see if I could later transfer it to Crystal once it eventually came out and wouldn't need to delete my Gold just to get the HM early once unlocking the ability to trade with Gen 1 just to be a rebel. Now mind you I don't remember actually trading it or if the trade ended up happening at all, but I very distinctly remember the training of the Seaking.
I remember doing that too! But that's why they require Badges to use HMs outside of battle. Hehe yeah I forgot about that rule too when I thought I could be sneaky.
@@cameronstrouth7614 There was another video posted before this that got deleted in 24hours, as intended, which showed some personal stuff from the creators of this channel
1:12:31 Caterpie evolves at level 7. I suspect this animation was going to be some sort of tell for when a pokemon was set to evolve, at least those that can evolve through simple leveling. I would bet this animation plays for every one of those pokemon at their appropriate levels.
But how would you ever hear that and not associated with Evolution since the evolution would immediately start as soon as it reached the appropriate level?
5:34 I think it's actually because Mewtwo was originally planned to appear in the Gen 2 games, but they changed their mind on adding the legendary but kept the genes.
I remember going to a Gamestop for a Pokemon event for the first time. It was Pearl and I was about 9 and had no idea what I was doing so I asked the employee.. and they had no idea, either. I don't know if the staff was ever informed much about these events lol
The store is given instructions by Nintendo with the DS + distribution cartridge, but either the GM hid the paper in the back, the employee/s didn’t care to look, or combination of both lol
Oof xD We were so nervous when doing this, but the Game stop employee acted it up full treasure hunt style, it was like he changed gears into being an extension of the Pokemon universe. unsung hero haha. "Ah, you're trainers! be careful with this one, it's a very powerful pokemon!"
I think the Diglett situation continues to give GF issues in the 3D era. I really like that they approached it in a very GF way coming into Scarlet and Violet and said "well if we can't get rid of this problem let's double down on it instead", introducing even more mons that live submerged underground, namely Wiglett and Orthworm
Yeah but it's kind of clear Wiglett is just an eel if/when it emerges from the rock. THey specify that Wiglett and Diglett are similar but only in name really as the water type is an eel while Diglett is a mole. Still doesn't really explain Wugtrio and Dugtrio though. XD
@@deffonothim you may think of it as a regional form, but in reality it's a "completely" different pokemon. The term "regional form" is exclusively used to refer to the same species pokemon from a different region
Fun fact: In Let's go games the two master trainers for Zubat and Golbat are named in reference to actors who played Batman, Adam West and Michael Keaton. Also the master trainer for pikachu is Lass Iuke named after voice actress for pikachu in the anime
So they managed to get the "Britney Spears" reference in after all! The one that almost got the guy fired for trying to name a Spearow "Brittney" because Japan was just allergic to American pop culture at the time. Even gave the translater a pink slip too. Fortunately, even if it took time, The US reminded Masuda and Japan that they better start respecting other cultures or we won't do business with them anymore... and now Nob got the respect and honor he deserved.
For the Nature Power fact, it also only turns into Psyshock in Ultra Space so thats another interesting one that you dont see very much either that Nature Power can do
Technically, for 28:50, your trainer ID did matter in HGSS and FRLG for shiny odds. Long story short, your TID and SID being very specific numbers would dictate how a shiny would spawn when you had a Cute charm mon in the 1st slot of your party. The process to get the right set was a headache, and it only effected mons with gender. What you would get, though, is an exponential increase in shiny encounters that was in the realm of 1/20 (If memory serves) with the opposite gender of the Cute charm mon in your party.
You could actually boost this further by having a pokemon with synchronize and cute charm in the same party, one being fainted in the first slot and the other not while in the second slot.
I'll just keep posting this until someone responds. When I was younger playing silver version on my Gameboy advanced I found a tree that when headbutted had seemingly 100% chance of finding a shiny Pineco. I caught a full team of six. I have never heard of this happening to anyone else but I swear it happened.
Was it a brand new copy or did you get it from a reseller/friend (or, perhaps even shared with a family member)?-- might be some gameshark shenanigans from the cartridge's previous owner?
Kiwi user with a PAL diamond game: can confirm, "master of SPACE" Slightly untrue: the happiness stat in Yellow affected *one* other thing. It was still pikachu's stat that did it, but the bulbasaur wouldn't agree to join your team unless you were above a certain value. I found the Alpha reaction one out by accident, just because I had only caught one ground type when he asked. I wish I'd known earlier because I would have gone hard trying to get them all alpha/shinies. (so far I have a male and female alpha shiny Luxray, and a Lucario. Working on more) The shiny spot is locked, the pokemon is rolled on the encounter point. So theoretically you can just reset until it's the pokemon you want again. It's also why you should immediately save when you spot the shiny sparkles.
Definitely was. I don't know why people just go to assume it was a misplaced shiny form. Most certainly was just the colors they were going with when they recorded the scene for the trailer.
Another fun fact, you can actually talk to those passerby NPCs in Castelia City. Not all of them, but every once in a while, you'll come across one that wont move out of the way, and if you talk to them, theyll have a random line
11:37 flying type background about Tornadus, that's incorrect. Unless that part of the video was some recorded before the release of Noibat and Noivern on Pokémon Go. Because I don't have a Tornadus in the game. And I saw that cloud background for the first time after hatching a Noibat from a 10 km egg sometime last year. This is because it's flying type first and Dragon second. Since then, Rookidee and Corvisquire also display the background as mono Flying types. Tornadus definitely isn't the only one.
Rookidee and Corvisquire are not released in PoGo at this moment. However, Bombirdier is and also uses the Flying background. At this moment it's only Tornadus, Noibat, Noivern and Bombirdier who are released and have the Flying background
3:47 before Nintendo gutted out most of the interesting things about Animal Crossing with New Horizons, all the different holidays was one of my new favourite things about that series
I always knew the flashing Pokemon in the G3 credits were mine. It always ends on your starter's first evolution. Made my elementary school ass cry like a baby
The duality of Phin. One video he could be in all of the feels with midwest emo music in a softlock video then going back to these fun videos. (Not saying the softlock video wasnt fun. It was very fun just wasnt what i was expecting lmao)
In Yellow, my Seaking was not so good until it learned the Waterfall. It was insane. I thought at the time the Waterfall was one of the strongest water move.
56:51 actually it’s closer to the After Image technique from Dragon Ball, which also came before the Naruto Shadow clone. The after image raises the ability to dodge as it leaves a realistic type of copy behind do to how quick you are, making it easier to evade an opponent’s attack.
Enjoying the video so far! On the topic of Pokemon GO wallpapers, noibat actually also has the flying type wallpaper since it's primary type is flying.
Here is a VERY obscure and bizarre Pokemon fact: Did you know that the Pokemon move "Follow Me" still remains in effect even if you faint the mon who used it PRIOR to targeting a mon on the field that did not? Basically in double/triple battles (in gen 3 for sure I know) if the enemy uses Follow Me, you faint them, and target the mon adjacent to them BEFORE they use the move (ie, before anyone attacks), and the enemy sends out a replacement for the Follow Me user that fainted, you will STILL be forced into attacking the sot of the mon that just used Follow Me.
nope, would love that idea, and he is the first to come up with it, but I am not entirely sure if that really is how that egg works or if it perhaps works like any other egg or is shiny locked, I don't think I remember any delving into that. Pretty sure that the mew and jirachi however are shiny locked. But I am pretty sure that manaphy in legends Arceus is however locked.
So interesting how that fact that most flying types are part normal is the reason Larry is both a Normal AND Flying type trainer. Being one of the few trainers in the series who focuses on two types (of those that focus on a specific type). Bede is another as he starts off with Psychic types before changing to Fairy, but as he uses Galarian Rapidash and Hatterine and Gardevoir, who are ally Psychic/Fairy, he too is a rare Dual type trainer. and Raihan who is the only type specific trainer that uses a strategy rather than a type that just happens to work with Dragons. I like that they're being more creative with the type match ups. Tulip is VERY clever as she looks like a Fairy type and uses a Fighting type as her challenger almost DARING you to bring a dark type, yet she's a Psychic type gym leader, but ALL of her pokemon have answers to dark type. Making her arguably one of the smartest gym leaders in the series. Even her Tera mon is a Fairy type by default.
Bit of an interesting one i found out while trying to Time reset scum to get a Fire stone in Crystal, you cannot swap the Daylight savings time on and off around midnight, because if you did it would change the days aswell. Your Mother will instead say "i Lost the instruction booklet for the Pokégear. Please come back Later".
I haven't directly heard about others but I'd imagine a good chunk of 4D movies have been lost to time because they were really only made for those 4D events
I wanted to point out that in the Lorelei plushies section it's not Pidgeotto and Pidgeot plushes on the bookshelf, it's Pidgeot and Fearow! But that bit of trivia, along with a whole bunch of others in this compilation, were super cool and interesting to learn about regardless. Thanks for the enjoyable vid and keep up the good work!
Pikachu's Ocean adventure I actually own a copy but unfortunately I don't have a way to play it. I need a theater projector. My father was the manager at a theater at the time and he got my younger brother it as a collectible but he forgot it and now I own it.
11:20 Noibat and Noivern also share the Sky background in Pokemon Go because their primary type is Flying (background is based on primary type). I was so hyped when i saw it for the first time :D
"Ah, the Safari zone. The place where you try to catch low-percent pokemon until you give up, or find a shiny one, and it leaves, and you smash your game cartridge." Uh. I actually found a shiny Exeggcute in Leafgreen's Safari zone. And I caught it........
Any Pokémon that lists Flying as the first of its types has this background now. This also includes Noibat, Noivern, and Bombidier. It will also apply to Rookidee, Corvisquire, Corviknight, Cramorant, and Flamigo when they are released as obtainable in Pokémon GO.
Golem and Poliwrath being sprites you cannot see without battling online is even more funny considering Bruno both uses rock/ground types and fighting types but thought reusing Onixes was the way to go. I'd have loved for him to either use Primeape and Poliwrath or Poliwrath and Golem, personally.
2:48 I'm a big fan of Pokemon Red and Blue as I grew up in in the 90's. Put when I play Pokemon Gold and silver I'd have to say that is still one of my favorite games. I remember the scene with the Clefairy the first time I thought that was so cool.. although I have to admit I was disappointed with how there was no more cave.
Sapphire was my first main series game. Imagine the game trying to teach you how to catch a Pokémon, but Wally just faints the Ralts instead and then pretends to have caught it and little kid you is just so confused because you doing the exact same thing doesn't actually get you the Pokémon 😆
That animation where Pikachu uses Thunderbolt... I did this when I was a kid when the game first came out and had no idea why Pikachu did this. It's been about 26 years, and I finally got an answer!
About Dewgong's name being better than Seels, It may have almost been Manaty, now its based of the actual Dugong, which is in the same family as Manatees
5:35 i like how you just say some random bs with no proof or any backup to it The berserk gene is literally there because of Mewtwo. Mewtwo was a clone of Mew. Mewtwo went berserk. Mewtwo hid in Cerulean Cave. How did you not see this 😩
The wallpaper for flying types is based on the Pokémons first listed typing, which is why we didn't have it show up before Tornadus since every other flying type had flying as their secondary typing. Currently, in Pokémon go, we also have Noibat, Noivern, and Bomberdier with the Flying type background like Tornadus :)
I've been a Pokemon fan for 20+ years now, starting with Yellow. I grew up poor and pretty far out in the boonies, so I didn't have friends close by to talk to/discuss Pokemon and I didn't get internet until my -teens, so I love hearing old Pokemon facts and lore. ^_^ And the Silent Hill 2 music at 127:06? So cool. Especially since the SH2 remake came out recently.
Phin, you should talk about how, in Pokemon Yellow Version, if you jump off a ledge but don't take another step, leaving Pikachu at the top of the ledge, wait a few seconds, Pikachu will start dancing around lol. It's awesome.
I hate to be that guy but I'm going to be that guy and point out that Dewgong is named after a dugong. Which is a manatee. So it goes from a seal called Seel to a dugong called Dewgong.
At first I thought it was a joke
You must hate yourself if you hate to be that guy

I have never heard of this happening to anyone else but I swear it happened.
A glitch?
Was it a brand new copy or did you get it from a reseller/friend (or, perhaps even shared with a family member)?-- might be some gameshark shenanigans from the cartridge's previous owner?
@@HEELY. brand new. Got it with my gba ca 2002. Only occurred that one playthroigh despite checking every time. I could tell you the exact tree.
That's wild. 😂 I cant think of a reason. Shininess came from stats back then but I presumed all wild pokemon have random stats
that’s so cool!!!
Kiwi user with a PAL diamond game: can confirm, "master of SPACE"
Slightly untrue: the happiness stat in Yellow affected *one* other thing. It was still pikachu's stat that did it, but the bulbasaur wouldn't agree to join your team unless you were above a certain value.
I found the Alpha reaction one out by accident, just because I had only caught one ground type when he asked.
I wish I'd known earlier because I would have gone hard trying to get them all alpha/shinies. (so far I have a male and female alpha shiny Luxray, and a Lucario. Working on more)
The shiny spot is locked, the pokemon is rolled on the encounter point. So theoretically you can just reset until it's the pokemon you want again. It's also why you should immediately save when you spot the shiny sparkles.
1:38:45 this guy has future sight because theres no way
I've considered commenting this before, but don't recall if I did; I'm pretty sure the "shiny" Gogoat was just beta Gogoat.
Definitely was. I don't know why people just go to assume it was a misplaced shiny form. Most certainly was just the colors they were going with when they recorded the scene for the trailer.
@@keirii6003 ive read somewhere that a lot of the shiny forms were beta forms
Thats what I thought too, I was like "Wait those are really underwhelming colors for a shiny."
But then again we have Gholdengo-
Came straight to the comment sections to see if anyone else noticed this.
Another fun fact, you can actually talk to those passerby NPCs in Castelia City. Not all of them, but every once in a while, you'll come across one that wont move out of the way, and if you talk to them, theyll have a random line
11:37 flying type background about Tornadus, that's incorrect. Unless that part of the video was some recorded before the release of Noibat and Noivern on Pokémon Go. Because I don't have a Tornadus in the game. And I saw that cloud background for the first time after hatching a Noibat from a 10 km egg sometime last year. This is because it's flying type first and Dragon second. Since then, Rookidee and Corvisquire also display the background as mono Flying types. Tornadus definitely isn't the only one.
Rookidee and Corvisquire are not released in PoGo at this moment. However, Bombirdier is and also uses the Flying background.
At this moment it's only Tornadus, Noibat, Noivern and Bombirdier who are released and have the Flying background
Noibat and Noivern were released before Tornadus
I love all the random facts I learn from your channel. Seriously, there’s so much that I never really noticed and I’m glad to have learned.
3:47 before Nintendo gutted out most of the interesting things about Animal Crossing with New Horizons, all the different holidays was one of my new favourite things about that series
I always knew the flashing Pokemon in the G3 credits were mine. It always ends on your starter's first evolution. Made my elementary school ass cry like a baby
The duality of Phin. One video he could be in all of the feels with midwest emo music in a softlock video then going back to these fun videos. (Not saying the softlock video wasnt fun. It was very fun just wasnt what i was expecting lmao)
Ah yess time to engage in 104 very unimportant trivia about the Japanese game Pokémon from the content creator Blueboyphin ☕️☕️
In Yellow, my Seaking was not so good until it learned the Waterfall. It was insane. I thought at the time the Waterfall was one of the strongest water move.
56:51 actually it’s closer to the After Image technique from Dragon Ball, which also came before the Naruto Shadow clone.
The after image raises the ability to dodge as it leaves a realistic type of copy behind do to how quick you are, making it easier to evade an opponent’s attack.
Enjoying the video so far! On the topic of Pokemon GO wallpapers, noibat actually also has the flying type wallpaper since it's primary type is flying.
i consider myself to be a pretty big useless pokémon information buff but damn did this video give me a brain blast lmao
Here is a VERY obscure and bizarre Pokemon fact:
Did you know that the Pokemon move "Follow Me" still remains in effect even if you faint the mon who used it PRIOR to targeting a mon on the field that did not?
Basically in double/triple battles (in gen 3 for sure I know) if the enemy uses Follow Me, you faint them, and target the mon adjacent to them BEFORE they use the move (ie, before anyone attacks), and the enemy sends out a replacement for the Follow Me user that fainted, you will STILL be forced into attacking the sot of the mon that just used Follow Me.
Phin is gonna have a field day with the new leaks
fantastic audio work man very easy on the ears, it stood out.
Oh, an hour-long video? Time to grab my popcorn!
Am the only one blown away by the concept of the reverse shiny hunt ?
nope, would love that idea, and he is the first to come up with it, but I am not entirely sure if that really is how that egg works or if it perhaps works like any other egg or is shiny locked, I don't think I remember any delving into that. Pretty sure that the mew and jirachi however are shiny locked. But I am pretty sure that manaphy in legends Arceus is however locked.
Noibat and Noivern also have the flying background in Pokémon GO👍🏻
So interesting how that fact that most flying types are part normal is the reason Larry is both a Normal AND Flying type trainer. Being one of the few trainers in the series who focuses on two types (of those that focus on a specific type). Bede is another as he starts off with Psychic types before changing to Fairy, but as he uses Galarian Rapidash and Hatterine and Gardevoir, who are ally Psychic/Fairy, he too is a rare Dual type trainer. and Raihan who is the only type specific trainer that uses a strategy rather than a type that just happens to work with Dragons. I like that they're being more creative with the type match ups. Tulip is VERY clever as she looks like a Fairy type and uses a Fighting type as her challenger almost DARING you to bring a dark type, yet she's a Psychic type gym leader, but ALL of her pokemon have answers to dark type. Making her arguably one of the smartest gym leaders in the series. Even her Tera mon is a Fairy type by default.
Bit of an interesting one i found out while trying to Time reset scum to get a Fire stone in Crystal, you cannot swap the Daylight savings time on and off around midnight, because if you did it would change the days aswell. Your Mother will instead say "i Lost the instruction booklet for the Pokégear. Please come back Later".
Im sure this has been pointed out before but Bombirdier, Noibat and Noivern have the flying type background in go
and what about rookidee? shouldn't it also have that background, given it's a pure flying type?

Yeah ngl, the initial mic quality drops I was willing to deal with but this one I have to click off the video for
The audio goes all over the place all video for some reason.
@@havenwhitts6217 Possibly because it's just a compilation of his other videos and they have different microphone qualities
Of course Charizard gets a bridge named after it while Bulbasaur and Squirtle don't.
Have you talked about
Atsuko Nishida and her contribution to designing pokemon? A lot of people credit Sugimori only. Love the vids!
I haven't directly heard about others but I'd imagine a good chunk of 4D movies have been lost to time because they were really only made for those 4D events
wishing you guys the best on your gofundme, if i had the means currently id pitch in, but for now ill give you my well wishes
The drifloon in the cut scene was something I will always remember seeing when I first beat the game!
Almost 2 hours of *useless facts*
Thousands of viewers: *Interesting*
33:00 "Ho-oh being the classic mystical flying creature."
Moltres: Do I mean nothing to you?
I hope you guys are doing well after the previous video
as an honestly not super committed fan of pokemon, i get way too hype when i see the "obscure pokemon facts" guy posted‼️
What have I said about claiming "there's only one in existence" when I have one, and so do, likely, several others?
fr
I wanted to point out that in the Lorelei plushies section it's not Pidgeotto and Pidgeot plushes on the bookshelf, it's Pidgeot and Fearow! But that bit of trivia, along with a whole bunch of others in this compilation, were super cool and interesting to learn about regardless. Thanks for the enjoyable vid and keep up the good work!
Pikachu's Ocean adventure I actually own a copy but unfortunately I don't have a way to play it. I need a theater projector. My father was the manager at a theater at the time and he got my younger brother it as a collectible but he forgot it and now I own it.
You should really reach out to a pokemon youtube and get it recorded, it's considered extremely rare!
11:20 Noibat and Noivern also share the Sky background in Pokemon Go because their primary type is Flying (background is based on primary type). I was so hyped when i saw it for the first time :D
"Ah, the Safari zone. The place where you try to catch low-percent pokemon until you give up, or find a shiny one, and it leaves, and you smash your game cartridge."
Uh. I actually found a shiny Exeggcute in Leafgreen's Safari zone. And I caught it........
So basically, Lorelei will partake in Retail Therapy in order to cope with losing to us.
1:38:32 The prophecy has been actualized
I was gonna comment on this.. it's a very nice coincidence.. unless?
The fact I watched the whole video , is crazy,
But I guess just proves how entertaining and satisfying this was to watch
Here is a pokemon fact you might not know about Marin is a pokemon from a drawing contest but they never put it in the games.
I've seen them all before but its so fun to watch it again!! I love pokemon facts so much there's ALWAYS so many more things to find out
11:38 This fact is not true. Noibat also uses the flying type background because it is a flying/dragon type instead of a dragon/flying type
I assume that was an old video, cuz this seems to be a compilation
Any Pokémon that lists Flying as the first of its types has this background now. This also includes Noibat, Noivern, and Bombidier. It will also apply to Rookidee, Corvisquire, Corviknight, Cramorant, and Flamigo when they are released as obtainable in Pokémon GO.
Ah yes,flamingo
Golem and Poliwrath being sprites you cannot see without battling online is even more funny considering Bruno both uses rock/ground types and fighting types but thought reusing Onixes was the way to go. I'd have loved for him to either use Primeape and Poliwrath or Poliwrath and Golem, personally.
2:48 I'm a big fan of Pokemon Red and Blue as I grew up in in the 90's. Put when I play Pokemon Gold and silver I'd have to say that is still one of my favorite games. I remember the scene with the Clefairy the first time I thought that was so cool.. although I have to admit I was disappointed with how there was no more cave.
You kept my attention and me entertained for nearly 2hours great video
11:34 is just so incorrect many pokemon have that background such as bombirdier, noibat, noivern
Sapphire was my first main series game. Imagine the game trying to teach you how to catch a Pokémon, but Wally just faints the Ralts instead and then pretends to have caught it and little kid you is just so confused because you doing the exact same thing doesn't actually get you the Pokémon 😆
It's made even worse if you started by watching the anime before playing any of the games LOL
11:37 that's wrong, noibat and noivern use that background aswell
I was literally about to say that
That animation where Pikachu uses Thunderbolt... I did this when I was a kid when the game first came out and had no idea why Pikachu did this. It's been about 26 years, and I finally got an answer!
About Dewgong's name being better than Seels,
It may have almost been Manaty, now its based of the actual Dugong, which is in the same family as Manatees
I was gonna comment the same.
I have watched each individual vid and i still watched this mix of them. Your vids are great!!!
Is this just a compilation? Save me rewatching?
Seems like it. Some of these I know I’ve seen before
According to the description, yes
This is such a cool channel and community. I love it Phineas!
I still can't get over the fact that Vaporeon LITERALLY turns white in Pokémon colosseum. If only they knew.
Funny that despite the Diglett fact, we now DO know what game freak thinks he would look like underneath due to recent events
5:35 i like how you just say some random bs with no proof or any backup to it
The berserk gene is literally there because of Mewtwo. Mewtwo was a clone of Mew. Mewtwo went berserk. Mewtwo hid in Cerulean Cave. How did you not see this 😩
I appreciate these videos so much
Edit: the Clefairy song is my favourite hidden fact by far
The wallpaper for flying types is based on the Pokémons first listed typing, which is why we didn't have it show up before Tornadus since every other flying type had flying as their secondary typing. Currently, in Pokémon go, we also have Noibat, Noivern, and Bomberdier with the Flying type background like Tornadus :)
11:38 Noibat and Noivern both have the flying type background
Thanks for all these amazing pokemon facts and videos and good luck on your future endeavours
i am so happy you went back to this especially right before a flight oh my god
I've been a Pokemon fan for 20+ years now, starting with Yellow. I grew up poor and pretty far out in the boonies, so I didn't have friends close by to talk to/discuss Pokemon and I didn't get internet until my -teens, so I love hearing old Pokemon facts and lore. ^_^ And the Silent Hill 2 music at 127:06? So cool. Especially since the SH2 remake came out recently.
Two hours of blueboyphin to fall asleep to. Excellent.
This guy's entire channel has the vibe of a VHS intro to a lost media video
I think their other Pokémon regret is Jynx.
you keep making these, I keep watching these
Phin, you should talk about how, in Pokemon Yellow Version, if you jump off a ledge but don't take another step, leaving Pikachu at the top of the ledge, wait a few seconds, Pikachu will start dancing around lol. It's awesome.
