      He is incorrect on at least one thing: the legendary trio is confirmed to NOT be based on the eeveelutions. In the TH-cam canon anime "Pokemon Generations: Episode 6: The Reawakenin", they show that the 3 pokemon were in fact dogs.

    i feel like i remember Jasmine saying something to us like "steel types are pretty new" which makes her all the more important as the first steel-type gym leader. no one else is in the gym because she's the only one who's studied steel types enough to be able to apply and work as the steel type leader! not to mention its impressive to see how she was able to obtain a steelix

      Interesting when you consider the dex entry that states that Onix that have lived for 1,000 years evolve into Steelix, meaning one of these statements is a contradiction or the pokemon world isn't really as old as they say.
      All I know is, a game like PLA takes us to the not so far off past where we see wild Steelix, and in the pokemon war, there was Steelix.
      Either way, pokemon is filled with inconsistencies 🙄.

    Also, I’m pretty sure Ampharos was supposed to be electric / steel as a reference to steel wool, but they likely removed that secondary typing because it was already used by the Magnemite line.

    4:23 of all the years I've spent playing Pokémon, I had no idea one of my favourite items, the Scope Lens, made its debut in Gen II. I used Mystery Gift on Pokémon Stadium 2 almost everyday as a kid and was lucky enough to receive some of the rare decorations (N64, surfing Pikachu doll, Lapras doll) but never a Scope Lens. 8:29 the Gen II DV/IV system also made it so that females of a 7-1 gender ratio species could *not* be shiny since shininess required an Attack IV of at least 2 and females of those species maxed out at 1. Even though the Special stat was split into Sp.Atk & Sp.Def in Gen II, the two stats shared the same DV in order to maintain backwards compatibility; Sp. Def didn't receive a separate IV or its own EV vitamin (Zinc) until Gen III. Another thing about the IV system is that Pokémon of female-only species were the *only* females that could potentially have max Attack IVs in Gen II, which meant mons like Kangaskhan and Nidoqueen could reach their full physical potential whereas female Machamp or Tyranitar *couldn't.* Whenever I play a Gen II game, I prefer male physical attackers (but anything goes for special attackers.)

      When I was a kid, I thought Porygon was another Eeveelution, since it has a similar cry to Vaporeon, its name ends with - on, like Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon, and its entry came immediately after them.

    Uh, another fun fact about Gen 2: The Mystery Gift method of connecting to another player's game in Gen 2? Yeah, that's present in the Virtual Console release on 3DS, where unlike trading and link battling, Mysterygift in that game does not use the normal wireless communication method on Virtual Console games of Gen 2. No, it makes use of the Infer red communication part of the 3DS, just like it did on the Gameboy. A part of the 3DS that like it was for the Gameboy, barely any games made use of that part of the handheld console.

    About 22 years later and I'm still irked how presumptuous the game team was into thinking we all had friends or generally knew people who'd battle/trade with us to complete all of the games to this point and the ones yet to come. Not everybody would/could get someone to cooperate so the alternatives were to have another device with a different game then trade that way OR use Game Shark/Action Replay type devices to homebrew a custom party.
    A Safari Zone would've been very nice. It almost looked done, just needed some cleanup TLC and the step counter mechanic. It's always an issue with time or memory with older games. Hmph! >:(
    Just the idea of having a part 2 of the game was a reward enough back then. Games like that can be very cool. When you think it's all done, the game says "but wait, there's more!".
