There is a TON of thought and detail that goes into the creation of Pokemon games, so much so that a lot of really interesting finer details about the games go almost completely unnoticed despite being really cool. Thats why, in today's video, I am going to be covering 10 under appreciated hidden details in Pokemon games that absolutely deserve more spotlight, and deserved to be recognized for how cool they truly are!

Was this comment also "non-scripted"?
First time I actually cared for the ridge wallet cause my old one is kinda disintegrating
However from what I could tell it does not seem to support coin based money does it?
Cause that is typically the main money type I got on me XD
@@DrakeBaku yeah, it doesn’t really support coins unfortunately :/ it really is an awesome wallet though!
@@HoopsandHipHop if it could support coin cash then I would have used your code and gotten it myself as well haha
Great work as always through
@@DrakeBaku thank you, and no problem!
The Gen 5 games had so much amazing things in it on top of the way they did the music. I’m excited for whenever we get their remakes and maybe even a Legends Kyurem or something!
Honestly, the Gen 5 games are so great already, they don't even need remakes. Just add the fairy type to a HD port, and we're good
@@NinjaKIngAce or just dont port them at all, if you really want to go through them again emulators exist , and someone even made a hack rom updating the games with more quality of life options
Fun fact about Clay, the Driftveil City Gym Leader
He is based on/inspired by a Japanese businessman who works in America. That could explain why his ancestor Lian lives in Hisui.
A fun detail I noticed myself that I feel doesn't get talked about much is Dialga's stripes are patterned after clock hands
I just thought Chuck was called Chuck because like chucking stuff around cause he’s strong
Fun fact:
Every single one of Orbeetle's stats are better than Ledians
Just goes to show you how good Gamefreak is at "balancing" things! The power creep has been horrendous. Really started with Gen 4 but accelerated more and more ever since. Look at most Johto mons compared to modern ones and its mind-blowing seeing the differences in stats and competitive viability.
@@BackwardsHat Yeah, there has been a bit of a power creep, but honestly I'm not sure if looking at Johto for comparison is fair because it's just a really weak generation over all. The Pokémon in Johto are considerably weaker than the ones in Kanto and Hoenn since a lot of them are just incomplete or bad. Johto was way below average even before the power creep.
Ledian just needs its third stage evolution still.
@@BackwardsHat They've always sucked the most dicks at balancing, ever since Gen 1; all they really know how to do when they have something that's "OP" in one generation is to either nerf it to the point that it's completely useless(#justice4talonflame) or add a new thing in the next generation that's even *MORE* "OP"(hey there Dynamax).
That's true for most mons tho
I LOVE Ledian so much, I really wish it was as strong as Orbeetle
Agreed. It really needs more to it, like, is it too late for another evolution for Ledian?
all it needs it to swap its Sp.Atk for Attack, it has Iron Fist, yet a terrible attack stat, swap them and oh boy you might have a similar situation as Huge Power Azumaril in your pokeball.
@@TheAuron32 This would be perfect!
@@TheAuron32 That really would be a nice buff (btw, why does a Huge Power mon get Belly Drum? I know u need to set up properly but still, its so broken)
@@TheAuron32 it would only have 55 attack if that were the case, now if it had huge power... thats something else
I already love Ledian and ledyba So hearing that it is conected to Orbeetle in a way make me love Orbeetle even more
They are underrated unique mons that don’t get enough love
I have one on my super sentai team
Fun fact relating to Kahili: I didn't meet her until the Elite 4 because I never went into the hotel and spoke to her.
she is not even in the hotel until the post game in the Sun & Moon game
I’m replaying Ultra Moon and I just realized if you get the Flynium Z on melemele before leaving she’ll teach you the pose without even introducing herself
@@az-quin2152 I noticed that, too, because I like to run around and explore, before I set off for the next objective
Regarding Unova, that feature actually applies to pretty much all of the routes.
As a native Irish speaker, given our history, 'galar' always sounded like a very appropriate name for a region based off of England haha
😢 We’re not all bad!
Wha- hey! 😢😢
Lol rude
Yeah, just like with us, speakers of romance languages.
I remember in one of the b2w2 movies, there was this ledian that was the main “villain”, I feel if we had the movie series now orbeetle could be a good fit, especially since you create a time time machine and the ledian lives in a world where bug types rule and use people as Pokémon. It’s one my favourite things about the b2w2 games
The fact about Red and Blue transition screens was awesome. I never knew that! Wow, so cool!
Ok,I never knew we had chuck norris in the pokemon, that's actually insane
Isn't Ledian more based on Pulseman, like Rotom was? They both have black arms and legs, red shoes or feet, white gloves or hands, and Ledian's antennae are bent like Pulseman's head crest.
I really like the Virbank Gym in B2W2, after you battle or talk to each band member their part of the music will stop playing until you leave and come back.
And the singing of Roxy, first and last voice we heard in a Pokémon game
@@dland6616 lol... Rip
@@CrimsonQuandary a sad, sad loss for the pokémon world :"(
@@dland6616 you can't blame game freak. People literally memed roxie gym music
@@dland6616 wait for Legends Arceus, it does have voice too
I always thought Galar’s name was a little play on how people with English accents occasionally add ghost R’s at the end of words ending with vowels. Naming your region GalaR forces even people without English accents to add that ghost R to the region name. Could also be a play on the word Gala, not Galar, which might fit a little better
And if you take account of bad pronunciation it could also be "Ganar" ("to win" in spanish) since the L and N sounds are so much closer than others
I also thought it had something to do with the word "gallant" somehow.
I have another theory for why the Galar region is named as such ! 🤓
In French, Wales (a part of Great Britain) is called "Pays de Galles" which translates to "Country of Galles".
"Galles" is a frenchyfying of the germanic word "Walh" which means "speaking a celting tongue", and gave the word "Wales" in English.
So I really think "Galar" could come from "Galles" or "Walh", as it relates to the Celtic roots of the region.
Funny enough, I found out that another word for "frenchyfying" is "Gallicisation", which kind of turns that whole thing over its own head 🙃
@@charleslavoie7622 exactly, in Portuguese too, País de Gales. The Welsh language, for example, is Galês.
I always thought I was for the word « Graal » since it’s the main goal in the Arthurian legends.
The subtle things about pokemon are really the things that make me love it so much!!
People get too caught up in graphics and textures and difficulty modes they lost their way and forgot reason they fell in love with the franchise in the first place which was because of the whimsy and the forged bonds with their team and the heartwarming adventures and again the subtle things
@@madnessarcade7447 Exactly. Now we're saying that cuz Legends doesnt seem to have voice acting that its behind gaming standards when they compare it to Mario Odyssey (stinkin ironic) and forget that it was a UPDATE, not a trailer. Honestly these guys just tick me off cuz theyre never happy for ANY-STINKIN THING (sry if I went on for a bit too long but I just wanted to get it off my chest)
I believe Ledian's design is also partially inspired by Kamen Rider, too, if not mostly. Kamen Rider Kuuga premiered on 2001, but was in the works since 1997, as the revival of the franchise, which was kind of a big deal, so Taijiri and co. probably were inspired by him.
You can actually meet Kahili in that cave where you find the flying type z-power
i keep getting annoyed when people say you only meet her in the elite four
yeah but it's only in ultra games, in the original sun and moon you only find her once you enter the pokemon league
@@yohaness2489 I always kept trying to remember who gave me the Flying Z after I 1st got it. Turns out it was her, kind of wish she got that Flying trial
Yes, the Gen V music has that feature throughout the games in their entirety, but it is most noticeable on routes.
And the people on the higest house of Accumula Town that a Piano and Drums to the "It can walk" (Furret's walking song) music
Ultra man?! Nah, Kamen Rider!! Ledian is definitely an homage to the classic superhero bugman.
I think a hidden detail about Orbettle is how it and other pokemon like Nickit are connected to the likes of Inteleon.
With all of them making up a cast of movie actors
"With Ledian being the hero"
If that's true, Orbeetle could defeat hoards of em thanks to Ledian's terrible stats
@@THGMR-ox7sd true, which is sad since Ledian reminds me of Power Rangers and the power buffs they can get
Yeah, literally all of Orbeetle's stats are better 😭
@@xhomiegreninjax137 everything but Atk and Spd, which is sad cause Ledian has the amazing Iron Fist
Of course! The hero is always at a disadvantage against the villain.
So galar is basically the “Disease” region lol?
Well, they're pokemon fans that views anyone that likes the games infected with the disease (its a joke btw)
I have another theory for why the Galar region is named as such ! 🤓
In French, Wales (a part of Great Britain) is called "Pays de Galles" which translates to "Country of Galles".
"Galles" is a frenchyfying of the germanic word "Walh" which means "speaking a celting tongue", and gave the word "Wales" in English.
So I really think "Galar" could come from "Galles" or "Walh", as it relates to the Celtic roots of the region.
Funny enough, I found out that another word for "frenchyfying" is "Gallicisation", which kind of turns that whole thing over its own head 🙃
Not sure if it was ‘unnoticed’ or not, but the black/white thrash sound effect being the SMB theme is cool
3:18 - What's sad about Whitney is she doesn't even get an Aipom/Ambipom in HGSS or in later gens.
Seeing that Whitney art makes me wish that Aipom was her ace instead of that dreaded Miltank
Aipom is too cute for an ace I hope ambipom was a thing back then
You forgot something... the way Kahili crouches down in the battles is something golfers do to sight out where theyre gonna hit the ball. lol
Galar is also the name of a Dwarf in Norse Myth.
Primal Groudon has the omega symbol in its design while primal Kyogre has the alpha symbol in its design.
Mega Camerupt has an M in its design. The M is most likely referring to Magma or Maxie.
Totally SUBTLE
Hoping that Ladyian gets an evolution
Ledian also takes some inspiration from Kamen Rider, the earliest seasons of which had heroes based on insects.
Oh that's cool
And here I thought Gen 5 music can never get any more better... The marching drums when walking and running are a chef's kiss!!!
Giovanni has fully evolved nidos which are poison/ground type but yeah most rockets specialize in Poison type although that's not the only thing they use it's the majority of what they use Giovanni uses part poison types that are ground type that give them an advantage over other poison types yeah
And, I noticed his name sounds kinda like geo, which relates him a little more to the Ground-type
"...when they wanted to make Whitney a 'little' tougher"
And they succeeded.
Kahili dosent only appear in the elite 4 in usum the cave next to the proffesors house when you go to the highest part in the cave/mountain when you claim the flynium z she greets you there
I thought he was named Chuck because he throws ("chucks") things, like that boulder next to him before your gym battle.
Why not both?
All of the route themes in Black and White have that music stuff going on with them too :D
I thought Whitney’s fact was going to be the design of the gym
Videos like this make me appreciate the creative teams that work on these games
One thing I really want to know is Giovanni's Origin how did he turn TR why is he the way he is? He is the most Reoccurring character in Pokémon with a lot of Mystery.
One of your best videos so far! I love these overlooked details
The drums in route 2 B/W is amazing!
I also wondered about Galar- could it be and anagram of Regal or Regalia but tweaked?
Kahili is in the elite 4.... She's a golfer too... When a golfer hits the ball, they yell out "Fore"... Sounds to me like a good pun lol
It makes sense that Ledian is a superhero since it's HA is Iron Fist
Supersonic can also be considered as its' signature move.
HAs were introduced 3 Gens after its debut
I loved the idea. Please make more of these if you haven't already
The black and white route 2 and 3 is my favorite. That is so well-thought
I like how Orbeetle looks like a spaceship and it's name is so similar to the word Orbital. Pretty cool.
Holy shit, Orbeetle and Ledian both being based on ladybugs is such an amazing hidden detail!! So glad you brought that up bro! /J
9:20 I think I noticed that they were different for trainer battles, but I never knew it was that in depth
if the whole Orbeetle design is truly supposed to be taken as it being a "villain" it's kinda weird how they gave it the Nu Gundam's V-fin, and not something more like the Sazabi's "stahlhelm" or Char's Zaku Antenna
Not sure how intentional it is, but Whitney being the leader of Goldenrod City, which is based on Osaka, apparently had a Nippon Professional Baseball team called the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes, so that could even be the reason they changed her ace from Aipom to Miltank? XD
Chuck Norris is so legendary that even Pokémon named a gym leader after him
Funny thing is, Giovanni's ground type wouldn't hit most of team rocket's poison types, since zubat's and koffing's lines decides they like the sky
The one about the music was my favorite. I never noticed because I hardly stand still in a Pokémon game
Wasn't Littleroot's description also partially a reference to the overworld now being in full colour rather than being monochrome with each town having its own tinge?
Ledien's head also resembles a Kamen rider's helmet
Actually, Ladyba is more of Super Sentai (The original Japanese version of Power Ranger) more than Ultraman. And the fact that Orbeetle can Gigantamax just like the villain make it better.
Me when I beat Whitney as a kid “ gee lady don’t cry over a spilt milktank “ 😂
Pokemon is good
This is a good first comment.
I agree
Yeah someone made a comment saying first so I erased them from existance
Ye I agree
Greetings from Guanajuato ⚽🇲🇽
@HoopsandHipHop perhaps Giovanni’s ground typing is a metaphor for his power over his subordinates since he’s their boss
I just made that up right now but that’s actually really clever
I have another theory for why the Galar region is named as such ! 🤓
In French, Wales (a part of Great Britain) is called "Pays de Galles" which translates to "Country of Galles".
"Galles" is a frenchyfying of the germanic word "Walh" which means "speaking a celting tongue", and gave the word "Wales" in English.
So I really think "Galar" could come from "Galles" or "Walh", as it relates to the Celtic roots of the region.
Funny enough, I found out that another word for "frenchyfying" is "Gallicisation", which kind of turns that whole thing over its own head 🙃
How does this guy keep coming up with such awesome content? Hands down the best poketuber on the channel, even if he doesn't like my favourite Herdier very much
Kahili appears to give you the Z pose at the top of 10 Karat Hill, so you do see her briefly before the elite four in the game.
Who else noticed that Hoops has a Tofrug plush on his shelf!!?!
Ladyba and Lyidyina could also be related to Kamen Rider too as There are characters in that show that have the ladybug motif and they are born from science. That's was I see too.
Hopefully they can reintroduce in Journeys. Ash can tell Gou that Whitney was one of Ashs toughest battles making one of Gous pokemon would want to battle her.
Another reason why Unova is the best region! What a cool little detail
1:27 god imagine this out of context
Maybe people didn't notice the Unova Route 2 music because its adjacent to the meme that is Accumula Town Theme.
Every route does that fyi
It suddenly occurred to me that Scyther is the first Pokemon that is already present in the Sinnoh regional Pokedex (I only checked Platinum but still) that has gotten something new in Legends Arceus. Just something to think about.
I have to be honest, I don't agree with the theory link between gym leader Chuck and Chuck Norris. If Chuck in Johto was meant to be an in-game version of Chuck Norris, he would be virtually unbeatable, just like his real world counterpart. Instead, he's actually one of the easiest Johto gym leaders owing to the variety of Psychic and Flying types available prior to his gym, not to mention the Ghastly line being available during the previous gym in Ecruteak City. If Chuck was meant to be Chuck Norris, he would be at or above the level of Red at Mt. Silver!
Skip Intro and Ad 2:32
Pokémon greatness
An under appreciated detail for me is that in the Resort Area in Platinum you can use the super rod to fish up Magikarp between levels 1 and 100 there’s no explanation as to why as far as I know.
I noticed the different battle transitions, and there's also one for legendaries.
Pokémon mystery dungeon has some good ones. Those next?
Who knew a drum played when you walked in black and white that's crazy
Music is good in background
Yay hoops uploaded
I thought Ledian was an Alien and Orbeetle was the flying saucer lol
These so many hidden details made me appreciate the fact that pkmn games has so much soul & effort put into (Yea I know Swsh is not 1 of them)
It is tho, there is a lot of detail to the locations, and the Pokémon designs are deeply rooted in British culture and history, that is because the art director for SwSh is British
Idk about the Whitney baseball thing, THERE’S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL
It would be interesting if Whitney was originally intended to have a baseball motif, since the Johto anime introduced another baseball-loving female trainer in the form of Casey.
Pretty sure the Galar region isn't based on other European countries, its solely based on the UK. Obstagoon is meant to look like a punk badger, badgers which live in the UK and even though punk as a music genre originates from the US, the punk social movement was big in the UK.
Well the disease region sounds bloody funny.
You meet Kahili at the hotel resort place and she also gives you the Fly Z move
Can anyone tell me how the game scene on 4:35 is so smoothly rendered? Is it an app? A new, refurbished ROM or anything? If anyone knows, please tell. Thanks!
I think its a HD mod (I really dont like it imo)
It's funny, when I was a kid I always named my Ledian Red Ranger cuz it reminded me of power rangers. I'm happy to see it mentioned in a video like thia.
I think that there's a Japanese baseball team that used a pink cow as their mascot so that may explain miltank as well.
Plus, the Japanese name for Rollout could be read as a pun on a knuckleball, which explains that move's presence.
Isnt orbeetle bailed on a UFO orbit-beetle , it's g max looks even more like a UFO , I didn't see the mad scientist aspect until I looked at the first 2 stages and even still seems like a stretch
Nice!!!
You also see Kahili when you get the flyinium Z
Chuck only uses Pokemon because it wouldn't be fair if you had to fight him
Ledyba and Ledian could be based off super sentai or kamen rider. The first kamen rider did go against an evil organization called Shocker. Led by an evil scientist
Galore is obviously named after the great warrior galore the fierce night
Ledian is also likely inspired by Kamen Rider
theres around 30+ transition screens in rby
".Galar is based in Europe"
A wild BREXIT appeared.
