Volcanion is such a Pokémon that just like exists. Rarely ever see anyone talk about it, hell I even forget about it half the time. It would be really nice if they gave it a little spotlight
@maganhassan2627 He was stuck with Ash but the actual plot was about magearna, the evil team was hunting her, all the flashbacks are about her, the movie ending song has the same name as Magearna's ability
Imagine being punished by the game simply because you were not playing at a specific time, specific date, specific year and sometimes at a specific location when the Mythical got released. The concept of obtaining mythicals is so dumb. I am glad with what they did with Pechurant. Pros: -Has an in-game lore and story -Is accesible for everyone Cons: -Is behind a paywall -Its event has a long duration window but it will be gone eventually when the online support for SV ceases.
Going from Oras making eon ticket a streetpass thing and deoxys a post game thing, and Crystal vc having the celebi event always accesible, to bdsp where the shaymin and darkrai events were back to being time limited was very saddening. Looking at pecharunt being a never ending mystery gift, I feel like a switch to like a free dlc method would probably be more optimal, as at least that way if you had it downloaded, you’d be able to still access that content on new saves even after the server closure.
You kinda missed two, the Wii Download title My Pokémon Ranch also has Mew and Phione. Technically both impossible to get, and repeatable by deleting the save file.
I did completely forget about ranch! I thought about it after I finished the video lmao. While it does deserve a mention, I’m just glad it wasn’t anything that was like exclusive.
It has been very awesome seeing them pop up all over in the switch games, and really hope the trend continues(though it’d be extra nice if they stopped shiny locking them lmao)
It is surprisingly very solid and feels nice to hold, though unfortunately I think my hands are just a little too big for it to be optimal. I did my entire first eevee playthrough using it but it’s kinda just sat in its box since.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet physical cartridges were actually released with both DLCs on the cart with no need for download. These carts have 003 or 004 on the back as opposed to the 001, and were mostly printed in Japan (the switch region free though) unfortunately, there’s no way to tell which is which from the box because it still says a download is required, even though that’s not the case. So the carts do exist, but they’re very hard to find secondhand and if you’re buying brand new it’s basically a gamble.
This is very interesting and exciting to hear. Still a shame that the epilogue is tied to a mystery gift, but still far better than the original version of this release.
You can technically get Keldeo, Meloetta, and Genesect in the gen 5 games by messing with your ds internet settings. I've done it since the server shutdown and it still works. I think you can do the same in gen 4 games but I haven't tried
Yeah, I make a very quick mention of fan servers at the end of the video. I’ve used them before, the Gen 4 ones are trickier to set up than the Gen 5 ones iirc. While I see them as legit and fair play, they are very much an unintended method of obtaining these Pokémon which is why I didn’t cover it with any depth. I also think it’s just more interesting to look at the history of this topic through only the intended means, as imo, it better showcases the shift in how they’re viewed by the ones that get to make the decisions
I actually got a Mew PokéBall Plus from a yard sale, and I was SO happy. the guy said he was initially going to get the Mew off it, but he never got around to it because of work
I hope so too! I can realistically see Keldeo being a reward for the swsh pokedexes, since it’s catchable in the dlc, and would match meloetta for sv I do fear that shiny victini will stay stuck locked up, unless it’s catchable in Gen 10 at some point I do hope for maybe like a shiny manaphy for completing both the bdsp dex and the legends arceus dex, just due to how much of a pain that one is to get
Ugh! I got the ticket for the shiny Mew masterwork missions in PoGo and I am stuck at the level mission. I need 4 more levels to be level 40 and it’s SUPER grindy! Especially for a game that requires you to go all around the place in real life. Also Phione can breed with ditto for more Phione. I just got a shiny one with matsuda method in scarlet and violet and I never had a Manaphy.
Dumbest or Greediest. The Pokémon Company and Nintendo have shown numerous times that they do not respect their own legacy when it comes to Pokemon. We still have no access to the original Gameboy/Gameboy Advance Pokemon games on the Switch as well as a way to transfer over our compatible Pokemon to Either Stadium Games. Which almost makes those games unplayable.
Meltan is unfortunately not in scarlet and violet. Whether the metal alloy will allow for meltan to evolve inside the mainline games will remain to be unseen until we get a game with both the item and meltan available.
I know you kinda skipped over it but in go you can get victini and diance at any time, as long as you have a certain amount of progress in some of the other mythical special research storylines. The fact that it’s a live service game does put them in a similar situation to pecharunt though
Go is always a tough spot for these kinds of videos because it is just so different and frankly I just don’t like talking about it. If it wasn’t for the meltan line, it probably wouldn’t have been mentioned much. Other side games are mentioned in this video, but for the most part they just distribute a mythical straight to a mainline game, where go let’s you use them in their own right with just the option of transferring them to home. The go dex in home also doesn’t track mythicals so the transferring feels discouraged in a way. I also just find it a bit much keeping track of which mythicals have hit general release and which ones are still just from paid events. There’s also the legendary/mythical clause for the mainline games where they need to have at some point had a non go version of a legendary or mythical before you can deposit one from go, which just kinda muddies it. I will also add that despite what some viewers think, I don’t actually hate go, I’ve been an avid player since day 1, I just think it over complicates things in some topics and prefer to stay away from it
I've still got multiple Jirachi stored in Pokémon Home which originate from my copy of Channel on the GameCube. The only downside is that I had to suffer playing through Channel to obtain them 😅
The Meloetta method in Scarlet and Violet is the most convoluted way to get a mythical. What hints are even in the game that would even let you know about it if you never looked it up online?
My guesses for the Pokemon home dex rewards: SwSh: Shiny Keldeo BdSp: Either Manaphy or Jirachi. Let's Go: Mew Legends Arceus: This one was hard to think of, Arceus is shiny huntable in BdSp, Shaymin and Darkrai were shiny huntable when they were available in BDSP. I think either Manaphy or Enamorous, depending on what BDSP gets
I need them to make shiny Darkrai catchable on the switch again, I missed out on the BDSP limited time event and I really don't want to send the one I have in Platinum. There's also no gen 3 cloning glitch in gen 4, I already sent my shiny Deoxys clone from Emerald to SV.
I fear the day that the closure is announced I still have so much I want to get in the older games that i want to be able to bring up, and I’m in a constant state of fear that I just won’t get enough time to do it all.
Hopefully Legends ZA will be the first time Volcanion will have an actual lore, he isn't relevant even in his own movie
Volcanion is from Hawaii.
(Ring of Fire) 😂
Volcanion is such a Pokémon that just like exists. Rarely ever see anyone talk about it, hell I even forget about it half the time. It would be really nice if they gave it a little spotlight
I remember it was an important character in that movie lol stuck with ash
@maganhassan2627 He was stuck with Ash but the actual plot was about magearna, the evil team was hunting her, all the flashbacks are about her, the movie ending song has the same name as Magearna's ability
@Eduardo390of I remember valcanon did have a role & is associated with mergerna
I did arbitrary code execution to get to birth island in fire red. I’m really glad I have a chance to shiny hunt him.
Ooh, best of luck on your hunt!
@ thank you.

I am glad with what they did with Pechurant.
Pros:
-Has an in-game lore and story
-Is accesible for everyone
Cons:
-Is behind a paywall
-Its event has a long duration window but it will be gone eventually when the online support for SV ceases.
The gatekeep Pokémon does with its mythicals is awful, specially the region-specific ones
Scarlet Violet is still relatively new.
Online support won’t end for a while.
(They’re even doing ✨ Rayquaza Events now until 01/05/25)
Going from Oras making eon ticket a streetpass thing and deoxys a post game thing, and Crystal vc having the celebi event always accesible, to bdsp where the shaymin and darkrai events were back to being time limited was very saddening.

Why is it a "punishment" for not playing rather than a reward for playing?
You kinda missed two, the Wii Download title My Pokémon Ranch also has Mew and Phione. Technically both impossible to get, and repeatable by deleting the save file.
I did completely forget about ranch! I thought about it after I finished the video lmao. While it does deserve a mention, I’m just glad it wasn’t anything that was like exclusive.
i hope that there are more mythicals are available+catchable in future games....
It has been very awesome seeing them pop up all over in the switch games, and really hope the trend continues(though it’d be extra nice if they stopped shiny locking them lmao)
The pokeball plus does make a great fidget I remember before covid I was using it as one in school
It is surprisingly very solid and feels nice to hold, though unfortunately I think my hands are just a little too big for it to be optimal. I did my entire first eevee playthrough using it but it’s kinda just sat in its box since.

How? Paste video of how for gen v?
I actually got a Mew PokéBall Plus from a yard sale, and I was SO happy. the guy said he was initially going to get the Mew off it, but he never got around to it because of work
I hope the next gift of completing the pokédex on home is either shiny Victini or Keldeo.
I hope so too!
I can realistically see Keldeo being a reward for the swsh pokedexes, since it’s catchable in the dlc, and would match meloetta for sv
I do fear that shiny victini will stay stuck locked up, unless it’s catchable in Gen 10 at some point
I do hope for maybe like a shiny manaphy for completing both the bdsp dex and the legends arceus dex, just due to how much of a pain that one is to get
Ugh! I got the ticket for the shiny Mew masterwork missions in PoGo and I am stuck at the level mission. I need 4 more levels to be level 40 and it’s SUPER grindy! Especially for a game that requires you to go all around the place in real life.
Also Phione can breed with ditto for more Phione. I just got a shiny one with matsuda method in scarlet and violet and I never had a Manaphy.

just a heads up to all who read this Meltan can evolve in Scarlet and Violet with metal alloyed
Meltan is unfortunately not in scarlet and violet. Whether the metal alloy will allow for meltan to evolve inside the mainline games will remain to be unseen until we get a game with both the item and meltan available.
Wasn't that fake lol?
Victini and Diancie are always avaliable in Pokémon GO, regardless of events
I know you kinda skipped over it but in go you can get victini and diance at any time, as long as you have a certain amount of progress in some of the other mythical special research storylines. The fact that it’s a live service game does put them in a similar situation to pecharunt though
I can't speak to Victini, but Diancie cannot be transfered from Go to Home
Edit: yes you can, but couldn't back when it was first released
Go is always a tough spot for these kinds of videos because it is just so different and frankly I just don’t like talking about it. If it wasn’t for the meltan line, it probably wouldn’t have been mentioned much.
Other side games are mentioned in this video, but for the most part they just distribute a mythical straight to a mainline game, where go let’s you use them in their own right with just the option of transferring them to home.
The go dex in home also doesn’t track mythicals so the transferring feels discouraged in a way. I also just find it a bit much keeping track of which mythicals have hit general release and which ones are still just from paid events.
There’s also the legendary/mythical clause for the mainline games where they need to have at some point had a non go version of a legendary or mythical before you can deposit one from go, which just kinda muddies it.

I've still got multiple Jirachi stored in Pokémon Home which originate from my copy of Channel on the GameCube. The only downside is that I had to suffer playing through Channel to obtain them 😅
I still need Diancie and Marshadow, I never got the chance to get them back in the day. TT_TT
Papa zarude 🦍
The only one still missing from my full living form dex :( I have 2 regular Zarudes, but 0 Dada
You can catch all of them if you know the right streamers.
The Meloetta method in Scarlet and Violet is the most convoluted way to get a mythical. What hints are even in the game that would even let you know about it if you never looked it up online?
My guesses for the Pokemon home dex rewards:
SwSh: Shiny Keldeo
BdSp: Either Manaphy or Jirachi.
Let's Go: Mew
Legends Arceus: This one was hard to think of, Arceus is shiny huntable in BdSp, Shaymin and Darkrai were shiny huntable when they were available in BDSP. I think either Manaphy or Enamorous, depending on what BDSP gets
I need them to make shiny Darkrai catchable on the switch again, I missed out on the BDSP limited time event and I really don't want to send the one I have in Platinum. There's also no gen 3 cloning glitch in gen 4, I already sent my shiny Deoxys clone from Emerald to SV.
Shiny Victini
Sometimes it doesn't feel like Nintendo wants money. If they dropped the GBA games with all events unlocked after the post game everyone would buy it.
Once the bank servers finally shut down, deoxys wont be on the catchable anytime list
I fear the day that the closure is announced
I still have so much I want to get in the older games that i want to be able to bring up, and I’m in a constant state of fear that I just won’t get enough time to do it all.
😜 unless you play pokemon go...when deoxys is in raids
@@maganhassan2627 hmm, true...
stop hiding, you hiding forever, zarude when i catch you zarude
it’s literally the only pokemon i need left and im so upset
They’re currently doing an event in Japan for zarude, so hopefully it’ll reach worldwide at some point so that you can get one!
Pokémon Gen 10
🤔 thought you can transfer mythical pokemon from GO to home...
😈
