a big chunk of these can be grouped as "western audiences get offended"
Tbh if you think a koffing spawning in the Holocaust museum is disrespectful, maybe you shouldn't play the game there
This
The concept of it spawning there and people being concerned about it as if they’d play there, is both hilarious and sad.
Yea fr, Pokemon just randomly appear. If they cared about being respectful they wouldn't be playing Pokemon in the holocaust museum.
It's very funny that PeTA accuses Pokemon of animal abuse, while they themselves practice animal abuse on purpose
Rules for thee, but not for me
They also say stuff like "that whale should be given money" then undo the lives of thousands of animals in their shelters because they aren't financially viable
All my homies dislike PETA 😤
So they’re technically Team Plasma then
8:33 there is a reasoning behind the apron. She is not only the Gym Leader of Nacrene but the director of the museum and her gym batttle takes place within the Nacrene Museum/Gym now the apron you ask? Aside from being both Museum Director and Gym Leader she is also a very accomplished archeologist and dug up the huge Dragonite Skeleton fossil on display in the museum that is not a cooking apron as its a heavy duty leather apron worn to Fossil Digs to protect herself when digging for fossils
How did I not know that Lenora was a great archaeologist
@@Ostralucia you would think this is somehting they would highligh more about her, not only is she not mama archetype shes a succesfful career woman and a great gymleader
Yeah, sort of important to design the characters that match their personality and skill. That is why the Generations 1-8 player trainers are better designed than the SV players. The school setting takes away the creative freedom from the players when you can not have T-shirts and jeans.
I'm a devout Christian, and I honestly don't understand why a lot of Christians/religious people call Pokemon "demonic". I personally know people who believe that, and it just doesn't make sense to me. It's literally just an RPG game series. It doesn't have any demonic/occult storylines, characters, etc. (well, I guess some might think Lavender Town is kinda sketchy because it has ghosts and all-around creepy vibes). And, I suppose coming from a family that always said Harry Potter was demonic (I don't believe that), I can understand the "magic" stuff being triggering to some. But, I mean, come on. They're video games. They're not hurting anything. They're not encouraging kids to do demonic things. They're just fun roleplaying/fighting games.
Usually this sort of thing is done by grifters that are trying to use outrage and such to make money off of a target that is easy to go after, plus while there is still bad groups and such in religion today, back then and the years before it was super easy to just use such things to try and get things cancelled or removed, nowadays most people see it for what it is, noise. I am happy you found a way to enjoy your faith and the things you love and I hope that things didn't go too rough for you, much love.
The "believed" first death due to people playing pokemon go, can't be seriously blamed on pokemon go, no one playing a video would break into someone's house to "look for pokemon" ... just saying lol
The Arbok did not die, he was able to regenerate. It is talked about in the manga that different patterns on Arboks allow them to be able to do different things. It is even shown in the manga that you can train them to switch patterns even.
Hitodeman/Staryu is able to grow back its points as long as its core is fine.
I'm glad to read this. That 'death' bugged me for some reason.
Damnit
Does this mean the Arbok grew a new body, or that the body grew a new head, or both?
I'd assume it's the former, but since this is the magical world of Pokémon I'm asking anyway.
@@Leto85 The manga only really said that it regenerates, didn't specify.
Pokemon tryna dodge controversy is like a newcomer to bullethells trying to play touhou lol
Or playing Ikaruga with the Power Glove 🤣
Early Pokemon boom is the lunatic stage. The last boss are those lunatic priests while the extra boss is Kadabra
The problem with the bad animation is that they said they weren't adding all the Pokemon to sword and shield in order to polish the Pokemon the decided to add, which ended up not being the case as they still have the same models from XY and have barely no new animations
Dont forget we ended up having moves removed. Removing pokemon was a dumb mistake by gf, and nothing can defend it
Exactly
Idk man, it really doesn't matter tbh. Its something most people don't really care about or even notice
@@YoWhatUpSussy it really does. If tpc can lie about this and get away with it, they'll just lie again
@@YoWhatUpSussy yeah man, let's support gamefreak being lazy
This video came in a clutch! I was just watching your gen 3 iceberg!
Loving your Pokémon iceberg content so far! Very informative and well researched
Thank you so much! Gen IV is in the making, and I hope you like the other generations too! 😃
Nice! Looking forward to watch the Gen 4 iceberg once it’s released. Pretty sure it’s gonna be a banger!
#JusticeforPorygon
14:11 I find it weird that they bothered banning that Sabrina card cuz it looked like it was showing the middle finger all the while Meowth at 1 time raising its finger up remained unchanged.
I'm really enjoying your content. I hope your channel continues to thrive (:
Thanks a lot for that! Happy to see you here! 😃
@@RealEisenBerg Subscribed because of this video, thanks for the great content man ♥
Man, I dunno, I think the glitchiest pokemon games might be Scarlet and Violet. Despite the patches we got, the game still suffers from slowdown, the ability to willingly clip through the world, pokemon spawn behind walls, and a lot of other issues plague the games. Though, red and blue are still incredibly buggy as well, at least they had the excuse of being the first games.
Anyways, this wasn't meant to stir up any controversy or arguing, I was just stating what I noticed in SV. Love your content by the way, keep up the great work!!
A new Eisenberg vid right as I finish my work week?? God bless you my good man enjoy your weekend 🤞
I timed it well for you lol. Enjoy your week!
Perfect timing! I was looking for a video to watch while I eat 😁 great work!
Enjoy your meal!
@@RealEisenBerg thank you 😊
The Arbok in the manga isn’t dead actually it has a special ability to fix itself if it’s head is still intact. Giovanni does kill two magmar and Lance blows up half of viridian city however
You keeping me awake with this good stuff
Sorry not sorry. Enjoy the content!
Another great video! I can tell a lot of research went into this. Love this I learned a lot of new facts
One of the first to a Elsenberg video is great
Welcome, first comment!
So because the bit you mentioned with Cloyster and Onyx. I'd also like to point out that in Pokemon Y (at least my first time discovering this..) A random NPC gives you a TM 69 labeled "Rock Polish"...just throwing that out there. They knew what they did. lol😅
There is also TM17 (Protect) in PokemonXY. It gets handed to you after watching fireworks together with Shauna *wink wink*
@@NoGliscorNoWinNGNW My sweet summer child.
The implication is that you get handed a condom. Shauna even mentions that it is her first time with a boy alone (watching fireworks).
BDSP being "graphically superior" is wildly wrong if you ask me.
I had an argument with someone about this for another game. I had your opinion too, but the other guy clarified the difference between Graphics and Art Style. Graphics is basically the complexity of what's being rendered, so any 3D game is more graphically intensive than most 2D games.
But if we're talking about art style, then BDSP is worse than Trubbish. Borderline shovelware.
Again, this is quality content. If you ever hit a creative block in video creation you can take all of my pokemon energy cards lol
Hacking Pokemon for competitive is based. Saving the time for playtesting and actual life requirements just makes so much more sense and it just baffles me seeing people like Kaphotics, someone who LITERALLY made PKHex keep dogging on competitive players for using his app to do this as if it's a trap or something. Other than that, great video!
It's great to have you here. Your Professor Oak's Challenge videos are fantastic!
Keeping the generation moves is more based. You can not have the same moves in BDSP.
There are complaints that the game were too easy.
However when the Mewtwo raid in Scarlet and Violet were released, many fans complained that the raid was too hard and Pokemon shouldnt be that difficult of a game. 🤷♂️
You can never please everyone.
By the way, as of the time of this video, the Mewtwo raid were the hardest optional boss battle in any Pokemon game thus far.
It requires actual strategy to beat and human teamates that knows what they are doing in order to win.
The Mewtwo had x50 more than its normal HP and it likes to spam Calm mind so your entire team should simultaneously drop Mewtwo's stats and boost your team's offense for the entire raid. Its doable but it needs teamwork between good players.
Though its a limited time raid, it really seperated the pros and the casuals of Pokemon.
5:45 I still want this shirt so bad.. but I also don't want people to think I'm trying to steal kids lmao
I just think its a cool subtle reference to Kadabra / Pokemon
The fact that the only one I didn't know was the one of Nidoqueen shaking her boobs, lol.
this channel is a gem
And so are you!
fr
The third versions themselves are better money-savers than buying the base games and the DLC. I love Crystal and Emerald. I love Hikari's DP dress, but I do agree that Platinum is better than DP content-wise.
Ohhh yeahhh one more video before sleeping.
Enjoy the video! And sweet dreams! 😴
i don't even have nun to say i just love yr channel and want to comment to show love
"Pokemon never died in battle"
Blue's Raticate enters the chats
Didn't the manga have some deaths in it too? Didn't an Arbok get sliced by a Charmeleon?
@@ssjassassinbo4993The same Arbok re-appears later, Koga says it can regenerate itself as long as the head is fine
who would have thought that I was one of the FIRST to discover this great channel
The Jynx and Lenora controversies are a textbook case of people jumping in front to be the first offended by something, it's insane.
They might say the purple face matches how purple is close to being red, matching Jynx's Japanese name Rougela where "rouge" can mean "red".
I once found a shiny Audino it was in a rom hack
My favorite shiny color
Ugly green
Here we go!
Let's go!
Yay I love Pokemon and controversy! Thanks for the goated video 🥰♥️
You're more than welcome!
6:19 made me laugh my ass off.. I needed that, ty
I know not all religious people are like this, but I hate overly religious people who labels literally every form of entertainment as "evil" and "sin". Their goal is to make you feel bad for having a form of entertainment and direct all your attention, effort and money to the religion instead of your hobbies.
Many years ago, I left a christian church because a few members condemned me because they found out I watch anime and play video games. They told me how im literally going to hell and all that and they instructed me that the time, effort and money that I put into anime and video games, I should just direct it to the church, to god and the religion. Otherwise, I am destined for hell.
I left. Screw those kinds of religious people.
It's the people who confuse their religious beliefs with the tempting internal desire for Puritanism. People do it all the time with politics, religion, even clubs and fandoms.
It's fucking annoying and leads to people loathing the very cause they try to keep pure.
I am an advocate of Pokemon generation to save time, especially for older fans, being accepted, as long as EVERY SINGLE SMALL ASPECT of the Pokemon being legit, with no advantage past being "perfect"
Yeah, I never got why they turn up their noses at hacked pokes that don't have illegal moves, abilities, etc. The game was never meant for this competitive level and hacking is so accessible.
EISENBERG PLZ MAKE LEGENDS ARCEUS ICEBERG
It will happen for sure!!!
Onix and Cloyster - the more you know 🤣🤣
05:00 'It will probably be one of the rarest cards now.'
He really had to say that. 😂
To add to the manga violence, the B/W manga had Ghetsis hang the gym Leaders on crosses like they’re being crucified
Broo i deadass was just talking about this last night with my buddies
@@h00pladeeznuts81 Yeah the villains in the Manga don't mess around Archie outright kills Maxie in it and it says alot when Cyrus one the most pessimistic and too far gone other than ghetsis would be the one that gets redemption.
@@KazShiro I think Maxie killing Maxie would actually be called suicide.
(In all seriousness, I assume you made a typo there)
What the hell is his problem...
@@Protofall It was a typo it was Archie killing Maxie
Still feel incredibly bad for the kid at the Pokémon regional.
3:27 that’s not true If we refer to the games and manga. There have been Pokémon deaths due to battle
The episode with meowth having a mustache wasn't even a "hitler" mustache, also, those mustache styles were popular 10-20 years before Hitler was even able to grow a mustache, buncha bullshit honestly lol same with the other banned episodes I get the porygon one but th others.... there was way worse on kids TV back then lol
Yes, Charlie Chaplin also had a similar mustache. I also never heard that this was one of the reasons that this episode is banned and I live in Germany
@@jascha8681That change aged badly because he would also be the basis for Barikooru/Mr. Rime.
It's so weird thinking back to the controversy with the recalled pokeball toy and the mass hysteria it caused around the globe. In mexico as I was a 4 year old child I was given an official jolteon and dragonite bouncy ball and then the news about a kid suffocating due to a ball toy erupted around the world and I remember my granny talking about that and all my family warning me about not putting it in my mouth even tho it wasn't even the same kinda toy. However, despite that, those bouncy balls could get stuck in a kid's mouth so it wasn't bad advice regardless. Just very interesting to see how the masses interpret these things. And how it all connecta to the mass hysteria caused by religious groups that literally would latch onto anything to get their point across, or invent their own delusional reasons to preach against a popular thing.
When Pikachu's Thunderbolt became a reason of epilepsy, but Porygon was banned
Honestly they should bring porygon back. Everyone knows it was caused by pikachu
@@An_average_BA_enthusiastThe closest we got was the PoryPhone shown in the Pokémon Masters anime'd trailer.
Yea,of course? That was the smart move. They needed to do something to make up for the mistake and no way they'd ban the mascot.
The last pokemon games to have national pokedex is Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Didn't gen 7 (Ultra Sun/Moon) have the full dex too?
@@Protofall Technically yes; Gen 7 allowed you to transfer all Pokémon into the games, but they don't have Dex entries.
@@EthnicWeeb Huh, never knew that. Omega Ruby is the newest game I played, and since then I only watch videos about newer games, so I wasn't aware of that.
Very true. The Generation 7 games would have all of the existing Pokémon at the time be usable, and not all of them have PokéDex entries.
The one about people complaining that the company has people working on other games is just silly. Forcing a company to only make one game because you don't like the other game is childish.
PETA thinks a sentinent supercomputer ls an animal
Or a magnet
22:45 so ridiculous to be offended by a kid 😂
ESRB had nothing to do with removing gambling. It was PEGI.
I always find errors in your video and question why you never provide sources.
If that's the only error here, I think that's pretty good. Statistically people are going to mess up in a 30m video at least one time.
The ESRB and CERO would be doing the same thing in being inconsistent.
Without using Missingno Red and Blue were hard af
ughhhh that Hypno shirt gives me goosebumps I hate it
A guy laughs about one of the most stupidest questions to be asked in moderns times and gets disqualified? What a joke.
It shows the insecurity of the judge.
@@Protofall agreed
Does it matter if a pokemon is legit if its possible to get it legitimately? What's the point in wasting hundreds of hours for it?
Hypno was actually not used to target the children. It was used to help the grown ups sleep
Well there is ultra sun/moon
It is outrageous that the contestant was disqualified for laughing at pronouns. They rightly laughed at such a ridiculous question.
Imagine being so insecure you disqualify a kid over a nervous laugh.
It's outrageous. @@Protofall
Adults should have learned that kids laugh at stupid questions.
This just showed me how much people love to reach 😂😂
Religion is so weird pokemon was never to do with the devil 😂 silly people
Just like any group, it is a very vocal minority that are crazy like that
You could have a point 30 years ago, but Arceus kinda is religious, he reggered to as a "GOD" , is it evil? Idk but pokemon kinda went far out with that Religouse aspect added in
@@thelittlebosniaexperience8181very true
@@yyyytttt7 isn't the arceus we see not it's real form
@@mr.mimikyu2342 thats strikingly close to Jesus (arceus) being not a true form of a god but just one WE see lol both sound the same,
12:26 lmfao koffing in the holocaust museum
You would think they wouldn’t have any Pokémon in that area out of respect for the victims. What’s next, Corvenight at the World Trade Center, delmise at the titanic?
@@476233 it is more likely an oversight- they don't put pokemon manually, they are generated randomly. This was an unfortunate timing.
Also the whole suffocating on toys is the parents fault for leaving the toys laying around 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That last one tho 💀
Modern GF are just lazy with animation
Imagining a version of Pokémon where Christianity is part of the world
Sir keep your kadabra nobody cares anymore
jynx is a parody of a parody
16:10 "altought brillian diamond and shiny pearl are graphically superior as expected"
sorry but no, one of the criticism of these "remakes" were because how ugly af was compared to others pokemon remakes, heck, even to the originals or if we want go further even the pokemon games from the GB have more charm than these remakes
17:03 something ironic is that all the games that GF has made outside pokemon are ended being mediocre (the only decent was pulseman)
Disagree. Felt like I was playing tabletop Pokemon.
10:18 Pokémon Ultra sun&moon still got released and is even more a cashgrab then the other 3rd versions
The black people controversy is the most annoying, people being too sensitive again. Like a mature black woman in apron whose meant to be mighty and motherly at the same time was offensive to westerners.
great content, but please lose the intro, that's so 2000 and cringe. Make it quicker, or just a short sound
*Shrug*. Its not bad, there's way worse intros. At least he's not screwing and the camera isn't all hyper doing 360s everywhere.
Disqualified because of pronouns 🤣 ok we are done for
