Scott should have released two versions of this episode with each with minor differences
It's just what order he says the titles, so we have "Sun & Moon" and "Moon & Sun."
Some of the segments get swapped around
Scott's Stash is going to have another version of this video I swear.
TH-cam is pretty against doing stuff like that. Really affects your monetisation
@Thicc Thicc Thicc yeah iirc [redacted channel] tried to do this with videos just for [dead] and just for [gone] being released on the same day, and it made them both tank in views compared to others on the channel.
It's cute hearing Scott namedrop pokemon like he knows what they are
Just as amusing when it came to the discussion on Fire Emblem.
Granted I only played the two Three Houses games so I dunno how much his sentiments on Fates were real.
@@myriadmediamusings Fates is always considered the worst Fire Emblem game
@@flamingpaper7751 that was years ago. It stands on it's own as a valued game to many fans today because of it's well thought out and interesting gameplay mechanics.
@@myriadmediamusings yeah the thing with Fates is that the three Fates games are completely different aside from the first few chapters, unlike Three Houses routes that reuse units, maps, and half the game for each route.
“It’s cute” 💀
Scott breaking the DS is the scariest thing I've seen all day.
It was very hurtful
agreed i had to rewatch it because i didn't believe it was real at first
I think it’s that already broken DS from the accessories episode with the top dangling from the ribbon cable
That’s why he only snaps the top screen but the whole thing instantly falls apart
It hurt me
I broke a Wii remote once and I regret it
Scott destroying that DS completly caught me off guard lol
But same tho
He just doesn’t like pugs.
wouldnt be the first time
first time?
Did he hope it came out oooooon camera?
Imagine if this video released twice at the same time
@@dumbbree27 ratio denied
How are you even here lol
But it covered different dual release games
And they were nothing but mere mirrored versions of each other ahla Twilight Princess.
He really missed out on that joke
This is a dual-released comment (Blue)
Let’s go
I caught them all
YAYY!! 💙💙
This is a dual-released reply (blue)
@@skylertherat this is a dual-released reply to a reply (blue)
Scott: "It's just Sonic Boom."
Jerry: "AND GENGHIS KHAN WAS JUST A F***ING GUY!"
One of my favorite quotes
There’s a lot of jokes that Scott writes that , just full honesty; I really don’t understand or find funny. Don’t get me wrong 90% of it? I think is/are hilarious ! and also, he says some thing in his “borderline forever” video about writing jokes that “aren’t funny” or something to that effect .
Either way, like.. that is kind of a one of those situations for me.
But fair game to ya, the more I think about it the more I start to chuckle just out of sheer confusion 😋
Honestly we need a Scott The Woz episode with Jerry as the focus. XD
@@JordanHowellMusic don’t really see what you don’t get about it, the joke is kinda obvious but I’m glad you still get some enjoyment out of it lol.
True
19:05
Small error: Yo-Kai Watch 3 in North America and Europe is not actually a localization of Tsukiyaki (the third version from Japan) but instead a unique all in one edition featuring content from all three versions made specifically for NA and EU, making it the definitive edition of the game, and ironically not playable in Japanese at all
Though the only downgrade is that they removed the summoning app but that's just a minor thing.
@@mohammedal-mustafamirghani5010 Right. I’m guessing it’s ‘cause the Yo-kai Dream Medals were never released outside of Japan (though you can still scan the QR codes from them)
This is a dual-released comment (Red)
Damn he wasn’t lying
I caught them all
HOORAY!! ❤❤

@@skylertherat this is a dual-released reply to a reply (red)
As a Pokemon fan, this is the closest Scott the Woz will ever get to making a Pokemon video so I am looking forward to this.
I'll take what I can get!
for real
What are you talking about he knows how to spell chimpchar
god damn it
same for me, but with yokai watch.
He admittedly lost me before when he said that SMT was a good Pokémon replacement, but this was a good redemption.
We're finally getting Pokémon Z
1:16 Scott may not be into Pokémon, but he went through the effort of looking through the specific exclusive Pokémon for Diamond and Pearl. That shows commitment.
Watching Scott crumple that DS like a McDonalds breakfast biscuit made me feel actual physical pain
Oh, Scott, WHYYYYYY?!!
why did he do this
@@LewisVerified because he didn't like the pugs,duh
Same here
@@LewisVerified Cause the first DS is an abomination. if u ever had one u would know =)
Jerry is another character that needs his own spinoff.
Better eat a berry Jerry!
True
Justin Womble is the best actor blessed onto the world and I'd never replace him for anything personally.
He had Seinfeld
Fr so many of them do
I don't know why but the Squirtle named Mark and the Ralts named Phil give me so much joy
It's just... why name them such generic names? Xd
@@oliverafton1444I still name my pokemons randomass names (and ofc generic ones). It's fun to see those names in some specific cutscenes lol
As a Yo-kai Watch fan, I was very happy that the game series was acknowledged
me too... we need more people to see these games in a positive light
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven, you must become a new creation and be born again by responding to the Holy Spirit. - Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16 cf. Hebrews 10:26-29. Pay close attention to your thoughts and how you respond to your inner monologue because it has a greater impact than you think. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life, and do all that you can to follow His ways.
Scott The Woz videos begin with a "Hey all, Scott here!", so the video truly begins at 19:01. I can't believe Scott uploaded a 2 minute video and it's still hype.
I literally went to that timestamp and then restarted the video for the best Scott the Woz experience
I feel like he did that on purpose to make you comment or to then make the same video again but have it start with hey all scott here
He did that with Not An RPG Guy as well
the tricker
same thing with the Chibi-Robo: Zip Lash episode
Hearing Scott mention Yo-Kai Watch, CD-I Link and Austin Powers in the same video is just mind blowing
Question does Scott like the ykw series and also did he ever do a review
It’s surreal to hear yo Kai watch come out of a real persons mouth
@@Soda_B they made so many anime reboots in Japan and one that was most recently made in 2021 and games just to never be talked about again and it doesn’t help that level up of American shut down in the US that is but in it was popular but not as popular as it once was
@@Soda_B yo-kai watch is really so underappreciated
@zijuiy wttuy no
the fire emblem bit is funny because the next fire emblem game (three houses) allows you to pick which group you want to join with just one game
Seriously, and Three Houses even has a total of 4 routes.

I just realized if it was on the 3DS and not the Switch they'll 100% release it as 3 separate versions lol
As a Yo-Kai Watch fan, this the closest Scott the Woz will ever get to making a Yo-Kai Watch video so I am looking forward to this.
5:53 respect to Scott for having the dedication to the show to hammer a PS2 to pieces and snap a DS in half.
Don't forget when he showed off the DS magnetic stand and threw it at his fridge
"to the show to a hammer a PS2 to pieces"
I had a stroke reading that.
@@davidzea-smith1417 I don't think that's applicable here. What they said was Scott had enough dedication to the show (the Scott the Woz videos) in order to destroy both a PS2 and a DS
@@davidzea-smith1417 it's 'dedication to the show' and 'to hammer a PS2 to pieces' .
@@davidzea-smith1417 yeah you tried to be epic funny but looks like you’re the fool, and added extra words to make it look worse
19:06 Jerry is my spirit animal.
“And GENGHIS KHAN, *WAS JUST A F*CKING GUY!!!!!!”*
The hype I suddenly had hearing Scott say Yo-Kai Watch is unreal 💀
Seeing Scott with Pokemon in thumb; never thought I'd see the day
e
❤
Just about the only context in which it could happen lol
Apparently hell has frozen over
The day already happened with Scott’s Best Selling Games video.
Scott’s dedication of buying fates when he’s not a rpg is admirable
And punchable! - person who couldn't get Fates Special Edition
I don't think anyone who bought fates is an rpg to be fair
Yeah I think it’s really good he’s breaking through the stigma of buying fire emblem fates while not being an rpg
I mean yeah he is human not an rpg.
This is the moment Scott became a rpg.
Jerry Atricks is slowly getting better and not smiling when he screams and it’s great
In another Universe, this episode was about Single Releases.
And Gex.
Scott The Woz… my favorite genre.
yes
Indeed.
Yeahhhhhh
Amen brother
Right up there with the Old Jontron genre
The localization of YO-KAI WATCH 3 is actually a fourth version! They put all the content from the three japanese versions into one game! (minus some stuff that required going to arcades or scanning medals that were only sold in Japan)
Are you sure? My japanese 3DS reads YW3 as yokai watch 3 sukiyaki-- wasnt that just the 3rd version?
@@abaque24 The localization is mainly based on the third version but one can still get the content exclusive to the other two versions (like yokai and quests), branching path notwhistanding. Even if you have the third japanese version you still have to either trade or link to the other two to 100%.
I'm not sure about specifics right now but something similar happened with 2: You couldn't get regular Venoct, Kyubi, Toadal Dude and Archnus in Psychic Specters, only in Bony Spirits or Fleshy Souls (though they made up for it by adding Illuminoct and Darkyubi).
By that logic you could consider the North American release of Pokemon Blue as a 4th version, meaning that the gen 1 games got 5 separate versions in all.
@@theplinko9840 That's true! It really blew my mind to learn that the japanese Green and american Blue were not the same game with different names. I'm glad I'm not a completionist collector of Pokemon cartridges.
I would name the American Version: “The BBQ Edition”
Fun Fact: The other two Austin Powers games were meant to be themed after Fat Bastard (Also played by Mike Myers,) and Felicity Shagwell (They were made to coincide with the second movie, The Spy Who Shagged Me.)
Ultimately, it’s obvious why the other two were cancelled, but I enjoyed them for what they were as a kid, especially because my dad and I loved Austin Powers. I still do. Those cartridges, underwhelming and empty as they were, are still rather nostalgic to me.
The idea behind the Nier release being two seperate games gets stranger and a little more interesting the more you look into it. I'm pretty sure (mostly) that the original story of Nier was always supposed to be an older brother saving his younger sister, this would suit the japanese market quite well. However, considering the landscape of Action adventure RPGs at the time somebody stepped in and suggested making an Older Nier that was a father instead, which would end up more suitable for an American audience with games like God of War (supposedly). That also would explain why they released on the consoles they did, PS3 was a japanese console so most people would play the one more suited to their market, and the Xbox was an American consoles so it would fit in with that game library. But when it came to the western release they just stuck with the model that would be more suited to them on both consoles. Except for the fact that Dad Nier acts the exact same as the niave and growing Older Brother Nier, but whatever.
When it comes to the re-release they just stuck with the Older Brother Nier since Japanese narrative and character designs have grown much more popular in the west, and it was called Nier Replicant in Japan so it's Nier Replicant. Don't worry about the numbers on the end, I'm almost sure they have no meaning other than it being another way to say Remastered.
The numbers on the end are there just because Yoko Taro likes trolling people, no other reason. Probably.
@@tomatooverlord2764 Probably.
Either way, existential crisis ahoy!
i'm a little late but the numbers are there because it's the square root of 1.5, which is what they originally wanted to call the remaster iirc
@@terramakes Yeah, I remember once computing the square root of 1.5 because I needed it to compute something and then thought: "Huh, this number looks just like that new Nier game!".
Im honestly still shocked Scott hasn't made a video about Guitar Hero i think the series deserves a video especially for how iconic it once was
before or after the Lego Games episode?
I think it's probably because he didn't play it much and he usually sticks to games he knows
It would probably be a copyright nightmare.
Should probably also cover Rock Band and the various ripoffs.
He is not a rhythmic guy
When Scott doesn't begin a video with his usual "Hey all, Scott here!", you know something isn't right.
THE OUTRO 20:50
That’s what he says?!😮
there’s gonna be another release of the video where that’s the intro
I am so happy you talked about yo Kai watch. People nearly remember it and it’s still one of my favorites to this day
Man… battle network series was so good
The Therapist is one of my favorite characters in the Scott The Woz cinematic universe.
His name is Jerry Attricks, official PHUD owner and future foot-fetish-haver

Ok
Mcu sucks
JERRY ATTRICKS??
Fun fact for anyone who cares, Nier wasn’t supposed to be a dual release. Replicant was originally going to be the only version before Square decided that Americans wouldn’t want to play as a Teenager and made the devs make another version with an older character, which is why only Gestalt released outside Japan originally. Replicant was the only one that was remastered later since it was supposed to be closer to the creator’s original vision and included scenes cut from the original game.
i was looking for this comment so i wouldn't have to make it myself
can you still play as the older protagonist in the remastered version though or is just strictly a remaster of replicant?
@@GenerationZ313 Unfortunately you can't play as Father NieR in the remaster, but it's by far the best version
@@GenerationZ313 there’s a short side quest where you play as the older protagonist but for the most part it just the younger one
The reason for the Nier release wasnt them trying to grab for a dual release. The original release was with Old Man "Papa" Nier as the protag but it wiffed sales wise in Japan bc the target demographic didn't relate to the protag so the sales were shit. So they made Replicant replacing him with a younger more "shounen" protag (Brother Nier) to get the Japanese audience interested and to buy it. Thats why its the same game with only a few minor plot changes and vastly different characters. In all future games of the series it treats Brother Nier as the protag and pretty much never talk about Papa Nier.
Papa Nier to chad for the japanese market.
It was the other way around. Gestalt was made because young heir didn’t appeal to western audiances
Man Scott was tripping this episode 🤣🤣🤣
“Which dog did you choose?”
…
“Squirtle”
Scott The Woz is truly an irreplaceable icon of this platform 😭😂
the one from Elden Ring please
My 7 year old made the same joke.
I'd LOVE a nintendogs styled pokemon spinoff. No battles, just poke-athalon styled minigame competitions(from HG/SS), or more involved contests(like Gen 4's)
One important fact you didn't mention about the 2 Zelda Oracle games is that they were originally meant to be a TRIO. Capcom was commissioned to do 3 games, but bridging a story across 3 games that could be completed in any order proved to be way to complicated.
So they cut it down to 2, and the 3rd game Capcom was contracted to still make for Ninty resulted in Minish Cap.
Side note, if anyone tells you the oracle games are being remade with the third game made as well, they are lying. The third game's ideas were split up between the two
I have been telling people that Pokemon isn't gonna drop the Dual Releases. But what it can do is do what the Oracle games did and use the same engine to produce two different games. With a story interlocking with one another.
That's not gonna happen either but it also works.
@@TheArtunism I read that fact as well.
That is true.
Wait so why did Zelda's Adventure happen then?
Sitting in a quiet room on your phone expecting hey all Scott here but you get THERAPY DELIVERY is the magnum opus of comedy
Did anyone love the transformers ds dual release? I think it’s one of the few that actually makes it fun to choose between the two
Kinda did the same thing as the Fire Emblem game mentioned in the video, but better
The fact that you had to play a Pokémon game long enough to get a Pokémon with confusion to re-state the confusion in the video is what keeps me coming back.
It’s the little things.
Megaman doing the split release on the GBA is probably the best example ive ever seen of it happening.
Each version has a completely different set of playable characters and a slightly different story for each character to justify the difference and each character has a unique moveset leading to more of a justified reason to actually PLAY both if you want to.
That’s the case for all the battle networks aside from 3, where blue is basically a better version, very slightly, cause the original battle network 3 in Japan had a blue version, then an updated black version featuring bug fixes, some new content and other adjustments. While the adjustments and bus fixes were added in both white and blue, blue is based on black and contains that versions unique content, that content is oddly missing from the white version so ever so slightly blue is just a better game.
@@tahamohammad8842 Never liked the Network Mega Man serias my self only the normal platformer. but u both made me wana try it.
@@kariminyt U definitely should try it. Need to warn you tho, there's a lot of story, it's almost a visual novel sometime, and the story also contain some puzzle in the open world but jammed in a lot of action during battles-
In short, it's a great series with unique battle mechanics that everyone should try
@@kariminyt my only gripes with the Battle network series is that sometimes stuff just isn't told to you so you have to look up a walkthrough to figure it out and the devs never realized this throughout the entire series.
That's a black spot on a series that I consider one of my all time faves, other than that pretty good games
@@frds_skce Theres also noticeable padding in these games. lots of unnecessary backtracking and fetch quests.
The story is also varied - sometimes there is terrible moments - walking into traps, or not doing realistic things to solve a problem... yet at other times its super well done and theres some poignant moments
This is the closest we will ever get to a fully dedicated Pokémon video by Scott.
Oracle of Ages / Seasons are still some of the coolest, most unique titles in the whole series, and not nearly enough people talk about them.
And now they're on Switch Online.
Scott has talked more about yo Kai watch in a few minutes than level 5 and Nintendo had in 3 years
We're never getting a localized ykw4 :(
Make no mistake. yo-kai watch is still going on. the newest game was in 2020. they are just going on in japan only. as well as all other level 5 games.
@@lilybelden9405 didn't Level 5 announce that they stopped business in the west a few years ago?
@@yitzuthegreat1735 yeah. I heard rumors they are starting that back up again. but only rumors
I'm surprised Scott didn't mention the surprisingly good Transformers movie tie-in games on the DS, where you chose between each faction and each game had a completely different story.
Those were super good tbh Hahaha
The first two bayformer tie-ins had no business being as good as they were, especially the DS versions. I actually still have my original copy of ROTF- Autobots, although I haven't played it in God knows how many years
Sonic rush and the autobots version were the first games I had on my DS. I was kinda mad my parents got me a licensed game because even back then I knew their reputation.
But damn, it was a fully 3D open world transformers game on the DS. The coolest part was how you could scan vehicles to make them playable in your collection. To this day I never got them all.
I played the Autobots game on an R4 card. A couple of years later, I learned of the existence of the Decepticons version from an old friend. I played that game via an actual cartridge.
Oh my god those games went hard
12:35 +1 year later after this video, and 11 years after x and y release, we finally got Pokémon Z…
for 2025 💀
its not even a third release tho... its a legends game :(
14:03 snes controller with analogue sticks, truly cursed
In defense of Black 2 and White 2, those games not only had different Pokémon, but the actual layouts of the games were a bit different, the most notable example being Route 4. In the first games it was just a desert with some construction work going on. In the sequels, Black 2 saw the fully completed street with buildings, while White 2 had the project abandoned due to the discovery of ruins at the site. The games had legitimate different layouts in many places that made it more than just “oh a few colors and Pokémon are different!”
With Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl there’s an actual flag in the code you can switch to change the version of the game. One dinky little bit of code is the difference between two $60 games that are way too faithful remasters instead of the tried and true adaptation combo of the third game and the original releases.
Didn't know that about B2W2, I'll have to give Black 2 a shot sometime
@@chainswordcs Oh yeah BW2 are full on sequels both in gameplay & story. Part of the conflict is what each faction of Team Plasma (the ones loyal to N & the ones who were just using it as an excuse to fuck up everyone's day) is doing a year or two after Ghetsis was defeated.
Man they dropped the ball hard on the Diamond and Pearl remakes after how incredible HGSS and ORAS were.
not to mention that black 2 and white 2 include 5 new cities and towns that weren't in the original games plus an entirely new story! they can't really be lumped in with traditional 3rd games.
I mean, he did say that exact point that they were more than improved versions, that they were sequels
You made my Thursday way better! Also love how the therapist is brought back.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven, you must become a new creation and be born again by responding to the Holy Spirit. - Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16 cf.

Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life, and do all that you can to follow His ways.

I'm the biggest jerry attricks fan
The DS versions of the Transformers tie in games were also dual release but the unique thing is the Decepticons version had its own story and characters while Autobots version followed the movie loosely, with the decepticons story being arguably better. Pretty cool tbh
I played it too. The console version had the game split between autobot and decepticon while the ds versions were separate. They did the same with all the others ds version of transformers games in the 2000, though the original is easily the best one. The DS Decepticon games gives them more character than arguably all of the Micheal Bay movies combined

That spoke deep into my soul
Scott talking about Fire Emblem, Pokemon and the Zelda CDi games has officially restored my soul after it was shattered to pieces by Scott annihilating his DS top screen.
I think he keeps a couple already broken ones around for gags
@@DarkLink1996. this makes him running over a Wii U with a car sound a little less expensive
Can people please stop getting upset over that?
Love the amount of Pokemon Slander in this video, imagine playing Red version lmfao
Good thing I chose Yellow!
And now all I can think about is what Pokémon Libel and Pokémon Slander would be like.
16:58 these are the best kinds of jokes that Scott does I don't even know what to call it just like a cutaway one liner but god damn every time Scott does one it's hilarious
I can't believe he actually mentioned Yo-Kai Watch again this is so epic guys
5:45 Seeing Scott go Hulkamania on a Nintendo handheld is a staple of every Scott the Woz video.
Red and Blue was a stroke of genius. Imagine if Pokemon was just released on the Gameboy as "Pokemon". You ask your parents for a copy of Pokemon and they tell you "we already own that game, just share with your brother". You all know parents everywhere would do this.
I can't help but wonder if storage space was also an issue. I'd love to see someone hack the two games into one and see if it would fit on a single cart. After all, they could've just called them Pokemon 1, 2, 3, etc...
@@anon_y_mousse There are several hacks where they've combined both Pokemon Red and Blue (actually, I think there's at least one hack like that for every generation up to the DS). It easily fits on a single cartridge.
Although I completely understand you wondering if it would, since Pokemon Red and Blue are notorious for barely fitting on the cartridge due to how unoptimized they were.
But since the differences are literally just a few lines of code (the exclusive Pokemon themselves are clearly already on the cartridge, otherwise you wouldn't be able to trade them), it turns out that they could've been combined easily.
That being said, I'm glad it was a dual release though.
@@DanVzare Interesting. I guess I just figured they had extra memory and transferred actual data. Sucks to know they didn't.
@@DanVzare this issue was made even worse in GSC lol, they had to fit TWO regions (including Kanto), 532 Pokémon sprites (including shinies and Unown), time correlating events, and more for the original Game Boy (for GS at least) I believe Masuda said that if it wasn’t for Satoru Iwata coming in to help come up with a compression system, the games wouldn’t have even come out
They just did it to encourage trading. When Pokémon released the idea of someone buying both and having two systems was basically unthinkable
Another dual-ish release was Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion releasing the same day. If you used the GameCube's GBA link cable you could connect them to unlock the Fusion suit in Prime and the original Metroid in Fusion.
I guess it was tough to decide which to play first, in Europe we didn't get Prime until February 2003 though so that wasn't a decision I had to make.
I haven't watched Scott on TH-cam in awhile, but I noticed that even though this was playing across the room while I was on my phone, I was keying into everything he said. He does a great job of not just becoming background noise and keeping your interest the whole time you're watching
Watching this while I have a blackout through the hurricane. 😅 Scott’s been on a roll!
Be safe my brother
why
Hope things get better over there, and yes Scott definitely lightens the mood, it does for me
@@PermaJeff because. No lights to do anything but watch Scott!
@@Ozzie300787 🙏 thanks!
To be fair, the creators never thought Pokemon was going to be a hit. They just wanted to make a game that kids could socialize with... and they actually wanted more versions so that each play through could be even more unique.
It started out as pure artistic endeavor...
But it lived long enough to watch itself become the villain... and by villain I mean now they definitely do it just for the money.
@@shard7549 that doesn't make them a villian.
Yeah. Remember originally they wanted it to be like a roguelike? Randomized elements so every playthrough was unique based on trainer ID?
It would have been cool if they ever tried that idea out. Well, it's up to us to do what nintenwon't.
@@BMoser-bv6kn are you 6
@@BMoser-bv6kn Uh... technically that's what Pokemon Mystery Dungeon ended up being.
14:33 Turns out, due to a Nintendo Gameboy lotcheck leak, there's an answer to this!
Prototypes of the 3rd and 4th Austin Powers games were in there, and they do have character themes.
The 3rd focuses on the women of the series, while the 4th focuses on the villains of the series.
So no, "This f*ckin guy?" doesn't actually have one, it's more general.
I thought it would be fat bastard and mini me but the women and then the other villains makes more sense
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers Of Sky was the first game that ever made me cry, just needed to share.
14:38 That “Noooo….” caught me off guard. 😂
I do think there is one aspect about why Pokemon worked and others didn't that was only touched upon here: the social aspect. Pokemon got big at a time the Game Boy was THE mobile gaming device, and on top of that it especially exploded in Japan, which is smaller. People walking around and deciding to trade or battle was pretty common. Similarly, kids on the playground or in college deciding to trade around and battle was a big reason for all that childhood popularity. In Pokemon's case, the version differences give a reason to interact that doesn't normally exist, since you NEED to trade in order to finish the Pokedex. Most games with version differences just split them for no reason or for a reason too focused on single player experiences, totally missing on this.
While not social I'd say Oracle of Seasons / Ages did this the best since you get story differences, new final bosses and them being different games in the same engine, and at a time where just shoving it all into one cartridge would have been difficult.
The diamond and pearl remakes are in fact literally the same exact game with a very very short code difference that states its either one or the other to the console, if you buy both digitally you have the exact same game with no differences installed twice.
Making you pick a version at the start would immediately solve the social aspect, you just need a friend who picks the alternate "world" when they start their game, its that simple, the fact that the tradition continues is just to hook up whales that will totally buy both, because pokemon fans get a bit too insane, God the fact that both pokemon sword and shield have different versions of the same DLC which is THE EXACT SAME CONTENT its outrageous, if you want the DLC for both versions you have to buy it twice.
@@necrowondo SwSh dlc is.. technically different, at least for the first one, since you get a different "rival" character in each game, with some slightly different dialogue and a different team, much like how a couple of the gym leaders are different between games. But yup, for the rest of it, practically identical
Not reading allat
I'd personally say that likely has little to with why it's accepted in Pokemon, but not in other series. I believe it's because, for Pokemon, it was released while we were children and the gaming landscape was entirely predicted on children as customers. Now those same children are adults that have to earn their money and won't pay for the same game twice, and we've learned that's all a dual release is. It's still accepted in Pokemon because nostalgia is strong and dual release is part of Pokemon's identity, even originally.
Died at the “and Genghis Khan was just a regular guy” line
“Which dog did you choose?”
“Squirtle”
Scott humor is perfect
Watching this reminded me of how much I miss Yo-Kai Watch and how much I cried when I finished 3. Thanks, Scott.
Omg i cried too! lol
@@fruit4evr it was so sad knowing the series was essentially over since im from the west bro
So fun story I have about the Pokémon versions -
My parents didn't like getting my brother and I a copy of a game each. They considered it a waste of money and encouraged us to share on different save files. However, with Pokémon, having 2 versions meant that was justified as different games and we only had to fight over which version we would each get 😅
So my brother got Ruby, Diamond, and Y, and I got Sapphire, Pearl, and X
Now we DID get Emerald each. But after explaining to our parents that there was only one save file and the story was different to the last games, they gave in
Well at least we have that now indirectly with Switch profiles....
Damn you went 0/3 on all three versions. That's tough man
you got the better deal with sapphire alone
Ah, I remember the summer of 2013 when my brother randomly got a 2ds with Pokemon X at Target, my mother said it was for us to share, when really I played it once on the car ride home, then watched my brother play until Christmas when I got a limited edition 3ds xl with Pokemon Y, I played that game to death. I remember visiting more family that evening, showing everyone that funny stop motion animation dinosaur video that came preinstalled. Than next Christmas my brother opened a copy of Omega Ruby at my parents house, and I was sorta jealous since watching the trailers for that game made it look so good, but then when we went over to my grandparents house later on in the day, I opened a copy of Alpha Sapphire and immediately fell in love with that game. Still vividly remember going to a family reunion in the evening of Christmas day, just playing Alpha Sapphire on my great aunts house steps, completely sucked in to the game.
@@kahukuracollinsmohi3/3 imo tho, always loved palkia, always loved kyogre/ocean is fucking cool and X.. yea. Dont have an excuse. I just like the deer or whatever xerneas is

Imagine if this fraction of the video saves the entire franchise. Thank you for keeping Yokai Watch relevant, Scott.
I liked the game as a kid, would be cool if it would release on the switch if a revival did happen.
@zijuiy wttuy what does that have to do with Yokai Watch?
@@normhal they forgot where they are
@@sprshb1852 in Japan yo kai watch 4 is on switch
it got me into the series
and now im sad nobody else is talking about it
5:51 i never thought i'd see Scott just crumble a DS with his bare hands lmao
I KNOW
I said the same thing! Crazy strong 😂
As someone who's only recently gotten into the NieR series, I didn't know Replicant was a dual release! Always interesting to learn facts about a new franchise, thank you Scott!
The Mystery Dungeon connectivity was only lightly covered, but in Dual-Slot Mode, SOS Mail can be traded and Red teams can be sent to Blue for the Makuhita Dojo. Not to mention the boxart, which shows where to put the games in order to make them link up! If the boxart was oriented in Red-Blue order instead, it wouldn't click when you put both games in.
oh thank God I was wondering what that hole on the bottom was, I thought it was a cavity!
Probably the best dual releases video he’s ever made.
Yes Indeed
It's impressive how you determined that within a minute of the release
I mean he’s not wrong
It’s the best dual releases video he’s ever made
nuh uh scott the woz dual releases red border edition is CLEARLY better
@@dapperloser3025 Bro what the hell how could red border EVER be better then blue border, blue matches so much better with the video!
Regarding fire emblem, I love how they fixed the choice problem In three houses by letting you know a bit about the characters before choosing (thank god the game isn’t in 4 versions), but somehow they still managed to fuck it up by having 10 identical chapters after choosing your route
As one who played and loved Three Houses, looking back on it yeah this was a bit of a bad move. Very happy Three Hopes put the kibosh on that with only the first two levels as being the same across the board.
Here's to hoping IS doesn't try this again with Engage.
I think it did the different paths thing infinitely better than FE Fates. That one did it awfully with the narrative suffering as a result
Fates’ route split thing is kinda fixed if you have all 3 versions as it actually comes in at a reasonable time to make the route split, which I know most people won’t have but it is mitigated when experienced this way. Additionally it’s only 6 chapters in that you make the choice to split which gives you enough time to view both kingdoms(and while the stories dip in quality when you play each route, the first set up chapters are pretty good in my opinion).
Three Houses fixes the route split from a marketing perspective as now they’re included in 1 package instead of 2 with DLC. The problem here is that the route split stuff is a chore to get through. While you technically make the choice in chapter 1, you don’t actually see the fruits of that choice until chapter 13 and depending on the route, you only have 6, 9, or 10 chapters of actually different gameplay. Not to mention Three Houses’ recruitment feature which makes it so that effectively speaking you can use the same units in each run which at least fates had the decency to not have all the same units in its paths.
Then Hopes tries to course correct even further by making the choices actually matter at the start, but you don’t have any of those set up chapters that Fates and Three Houses have so it feels like 3 games rolled into 1 but it doesn’t feel like you did anything important.
Strangely enough, the fire emblem game that I think approaches the 2 routes thing the best(which isn’t a high bar and doesn’t shoot very high in of itself) is sacred stones. For 3-4 chapters you can either continue with Erika or Ephiram, but it doesn’t feel like a chore. It doesn’t bog you down as you’ve played a quarter of the game so far and it’s not a huge gimmick that tries to trip you up.
@@firewolf950tfwgaming7 For Fates, they should have just made either Birthright or Conquest the canonical version of the narrative and scrapped two of the paths.
This is why I prefer FE Awakening, since it's just one singular, straightforward narrative with no multiple paths to complicate things.

" I don't make the rules, I just enable them" greatest line , I laugh so hard
5:50 Scott summarizes total drama all stars in 15 seconds
This is the first Scott The Woz video where he never says "Hey all, Scott here!". History has been made.
Edit: To my surprise, he still slipped one in at 19:01. Never change, Scott.
oh no
Technically, at 19:01...
I mean, he does say it, just inside another sentence. The early videos like his frat house tour and the Vape Shop Visit Vlog don't have it either if I remember it correctly.
Subverting expectations
I was like "this is good, but its missing something." Hey y'all, Scott here." NOW THIS IS THERAPY!
5:51 can we talk about how strong he is? Man literally CRUSHED an OG Ds in his hands like it was a cracker. 👀
thank you Scott.... i had never laughed this much during a TH-cam video in such a LONG TIME. =] REALLY REALLY THANK YOU.
Had to watch this twice, just to feel alive.
Bro Scott I don't know where you went for half a year but man you are cranking out bangers right now.
To the muse, my friend. To the muse.
Yo-Kai Watch 2 Fleshy Souls was the first video game I ever played. Seeing Scott talk about it is just amazing!
There are soooooo many good clips in this episode
I have been playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon for like 15 years and I only just realized the BRT characters are looking down at the RRT characters. Scott thank you so much
0:51 That flip transition is so smooth
2:04 TECHNICALLY green is the true opposite of Red, even if Blue is most commonly portrayed that way (the actual opposite of Blue is orange). So taking that into consideration Red and Green makes more sense
🤓
No, technically cyan is the true opposite of red - aka the exact midpoint between green and blue.
@@GreenLinzerd That depends on whether you're going by the RBY color model or the RBG color model. Red/Green for RBY and Red/Cyan for RBG
I honestly prefer RBY because it's more straight forward
Actually, the true opposite is deR nomekoP
@@BlueAizu_ it’s a color wheel thing so the opposite colors are opposite on the color wheel and with 3 primary colors spaced evenly obviously each one ends up paired with a secondary color. Red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange. But thematically red and blue are always symbolically opposites because it’s hot and cold night and day. And I guess even in color theory it is warm and cool color schemes that are helmed by red and blue with green being the center of the spectrum because that’s in additive mediums. So technically everyone is right 😂
Holy moly this is in Trending.
Congratulations Scott!!
I never thought I would hear Scott talking about Pokemon but yet here we are.
Never knew i'd see the day where Scott talks about Yo-kai Watch. Man, I adore those games, definitely worthy games to check it out tbh, I feel like not enough people talk about those games.
200% agree. Fantastic series!! Some of the best RPG's on the system in my opinion! May all us Yo-Kai Watch fans rejoice! Lol
The fact that people didnt talk about it is why YW3 is so fkn expensive XD
Amen 🙏
I grew up with the yo Kai watch series and still am to this day I really hope Scott makes a video about the yo Kai watch series
He did talk about YW in his other channel "Scott's Stash":

I was worried this would be the first episode without a “hey all Scott here” but he said it near the end so it’s all good
