    Pokémon Emerald is a simple game. We pick our starter, beat all the Gyms, defeat the Elite 4, roll credits. It is a game made for kids after all. How bad can you be? ...No need to answer, I did in the video.

    Gyarados is based on a Japanese wind sock, hence the Flying type. It's also based on the myth that koi will jump over waterfalls and turn into dragons, so there's why it uses so many Dragon-type moves.

      @SeanWheeler100 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I get the feeling the Dragon-type was created at the last second for the Dratini line. There are other Generation I Pokémon like Charizard and Aerodactyl that look like dragons but are not Dragon-type.
      And it's disappointing that Mega Gyarados becomes a Dark-type instead of a Dragon-type.

    • @Lyra
      @Lyra  ปีที่แล้ว

      Funnily enough, I was indeed a bit down on RSE, but not because of the events/tie-ins. I had attempted to play the games multiple times in the past and always gave up around Slateport because I believe the early game is really tedious! Once you get past it though, Gen 3 is an absolute blast and a treat to play!
      I had the experience you described with several games in the past, and it is indeed a wonderful feeling to have something you were negative about become such a positive experience! Sometimes the timing is just wrong, it's fine to try again later :'D

    One of my friends from when I was really little gave me his copy of Emerald as a going away present. It had a completely finished pokedex except for maybe one? I think it was Deoxys he needed. I thought that was so awesome. Later, I left the cartridge at my next door neighbors house on accident for less than an hour before realizing, started to run over to his place where my neighbor friend met me walking down his driveway. He was already bringing me the game! How nice!
    He. Deleted the save file. He told me right there on the spot. He said to me straight up. It was because it was a girl character. I don’t know what he was thinking, but my heart was exploded. I’ve been through a lot of shit, but somehow this event feels almost worse than anything to this day. He was like 8, and we were both brats, so like I get it. You do stupid shit for no reason as a little kid.
    But damn. I never saw the friend who gave it to me again. He was gone, moved to texas. And that pokedex never came close to it’s former glory. lol

    Big fan of your work as always! Here are a couple of tips depending on how you want to complete this challenge.
    1) If you plan to get the Celebi from the JPN Bonus Disk, the Gamecube is region locked so you will also need a completed GBA save file in order to redeem the Celebi. FR/LG will require the Sevii Island quest to be completed, so for the sake of your sanity, you should play either one of Ruby or Sapphire in Japanese. 2 birds in one stone. The JPN Bonus Disc does recognize Emerald as well as FR/LG so that's also an option if you want that as well as long as they are in japanese.
    2) Jirachi is available from the US Bonus Disc or from the PAL version of Pokemon Channel (which is a game that requires you to watch plenty of Pokemon media for its completion). I would advise to use the Bonus Disc instead because its only requirement is to start a save file and obtain the Pokedex to get a Jirachi. It's only compatible with English versions of R/S sadly (Same with Channel but PAL Channel can send the Jirachi to any R/S game of any region that matches the language setting).
    3) For Mew there are a couple of Distribution ROMs available online which had a few Mew events available you can use to redeem it. The Japanse version of Emerald was the only one who received the distribution of the Old Sea Map but pretty sure there are other distributions that can get you a Mew (Like the movie MYSTRY one).
    4) Once you begin Pokemon Colosseum take into account that it has a very annoying mechanic where Shadow Pokemon use a move called Shadow Rush which is a base 90 power attack that causes recoil. It's one of my main grievances with the game itself so plan accordingly because if your Shadow Pokemon is too weak, it will kill itself on recoil. Also there are a couple of Sleep immune Pokemon (Notcowl and Ariados) but I am probably getting ahead by far too much :P
    Hope this helps and best of luck!

    Honestly, I don't blame you for not knowing Gyarados is part flying type, because it makes no goddamn sense. To this day, the only physical flying-type move it learns is Bounce. (Except in gen 9 apparently, since Game Freak didn't feel like putting it in the game. 🤦)

    Gyarados is Water/Flying because Gamefreak originally wanted to keep the dragon typing pretty rare for balance reasons. That is also why Charizard is Fire/Flying instead of Fire/Dragon despite obviously being a dragon.

      Charizard is a lizard all the dex entries say as much, so I guess it isn't a dragon. Idk. Sure looks like one. And Mega X is one.
      Magikarp is based on a Japanese proverb of a determined carp that leaps so high it becomes a *flying* dragon after it successfully leaps over a waterfall.
      In the 3d switch games Gyarados can fly, so it all tracks.

    I noticed on your website that it says that celebi is unobtainable. There is way a that you can get it and it is by the Japanese colosseum the bonus disk and purifying every pokemon and then trading it to a Japanese gen 3 game with a completed save file which can then be traded to your emerald file.

    • @MediumDSpeaks
      @MediumDSpeaks ปีที่แล้ว

      Think about what that entails. Buying a Japanese GameCube, Japanese colosseum, Japanese 3rd Gen game, obtaining the extremely expensive and rare Japanese Celebii colosseum bonus disk, buying a GameCube to gba link cable, beating 100% of all the content in Colosseum in a language you likely don't speak
      This is literally impossible at any scale. If even 1% of the 40,000 subscribers of this channel, so 400 people, tried to do this, they'd likely run out the entire 2nd hand market for the bonus disks willing to ship outside Japan alone, not to mention all the other stuff. At 10% or 4,000 people trying this, you're looking at a constant interchanging economy of people buying and selling these items to and from one another all over the world because there literally isn't enough of these items outside Japan (or maybe even still accessible for sale at all on Earth) for that many people to spend 5 figures on plus basically learn one of the hardest languages for English speakers to learn
      He's discussed this before. That's why Celebi is unobtainable. Just because there's this insane way that was made for Japanese people in 2003 to get it, 20 years later it just isn't realistically possible for anyone, and literally impossible for EVERYONE, to get.
