looks almost like the distoryable sencery in battles were worked on? Im assuming so because of the tree in the first battle with the batlle pad around it

I feel like x and y got screwed over so bad bc they were fun games imo but it just felt like there was something missing from them (we know why now) but I really wish we got to see all the extra stuff they had planned for Z or didn’t incorporate into these games

I’m so disappointed ORAS didn’t have a GB Sounds item cuz I love the gen 3 sound font and both HGSS and BDSP got toggles for the old soundtrack of their original games. I’d have to say Emerald is also one of my favorites to play back just behind black and white and Gen 4. X and Y was a really fun time too but didn’t have anyone else to play it with so I loved wonder trading and the friend features

The HGSS and B2W2 stuff sounds awesome!

8:20 how many Torchics does it take to screw in a lightbulb? To get to the other side!

this was the game that brought me into pokemon and seeing this beta is just so nostalgic 😭😭 its been a literally a decade since i first played this bruh

15:40 at one point they had all the GBA tracks in the game. And they didn't make a GBA Player item.

Cool video! And if you want more views and real viewers, check out for services

49:28 I believe they were meant to test the outline rendering effect with this one

How did you even get this build to even run? Did you have to use an extrernal debug program to even start it?

I wish we had that UI, it would look so classy cleaned up

You could have fooled me that this is a scarlet and violet beta with how unstable this is

did this cause me to have a dream about a pokemon dating show visual novel playing the contest theme with the host's name being Grass

Very cool, nice pfp btw

29:33 its the route right before the safari zone (i know oras by heart) the cave a bit before that in the water was the route after fortree city (connects to the route i said above) 29:48 is the route east of mauville, right after the southern island event you go there to go into the route with the super tall grass which leads to the weather institute

Why the fuck does this exist?

1:53 tailow with no animation 😭😭😭

Please upload the beta title screen! It's slightly different from final version and sounds BETTER!!

Alpha Sapphire and Beta Ruby.

13:37 you need to learn Japanese before you play any more builds man, I was yelling at the screen when Professor Rowan was literally telling you "no, no, not that button, (press) the Poké Ball button!" referring to the Touch Screen lmao 17:48 "jitensha" means bicycle 19:41 "kizuna" means bonds, in this context as in friendship between Pokémon 21:10 you named Barry "kususuku", imagine if you hit そ instead of す then the first part would be read as "shit" lol 22:19 you are playing a near release build of Pearl, the credits at the ROM startup say 2006 which is when Pearl came out in Japan and the logo with Palkia is the Japanese logo for the game 25:38 this is an unfinished version of Route 206's theme. Because it only plays in the void while using the walking the walls hack or the tweaking/holepunching glitch, it is named as the "Mystery Zone theme" since this area is titled Mystery Zone by the English version of the game.

I love how the early intro shows off kalos pokemon, in the final version that painting only shows older ones

How did you find the beta? Ive been looking everywhere and cant find it at all

27:30 That's definitely Tate and Liza's gym, that outside area fits Mosdeep too well, plus they're the only twin gym leaders this region and there are two black placeholders at the end

yooo this is so cool been watching these videos while drawing always fun to se the diffrences (:

Kinda crazy to think that this beta is dated more than a year before the release of Black 2 and White 2 for the original DS.

Neku pfp absolutely based

where can we find the build to play it ourselves?

I turned 9 two days prior to this

Just wondering, but was anything related to the gen 7 games (or any builds) found (there were some Ultra Sun/Moon builds leaked before in a different leak, but I have no idea if there were more builds leaked now)

I wish a Pokémon Ruby and Shappire beta rom gameplay video (possibly the late 2001 version)!

This is older than black and white 2

I dig the lighting bloom. Makes the overworld look really nice.

Note: a sprite is only 2d. They cannot be 3d. 3d models use animations. And anime stands for animetion (don't ask me why jp devs misname it.) Just a correction and funfact.

I dug around in the final build's files a few years ago, found a few assets I could never explain. Neat seeing them pop up in debug menus like this.

Where can I find the downloads for some of the beta items?

this beta was made when I was 10 years old bro...how did they regress so fast?

super cool!

nice, this prototype had wild double battles

Interesting that it has more of a chibi look to it.

8:00 That's kinda terryfying, sir

0:39 - Not-Serena arrives in Not-Vaniville. 3:48 - Wow... It's quite sad when a beta is more appealing than an actual final game. 4:05 - Even if there was a plot reason in the final games why grass wasn't in Route 1, I'd say it's presence makes this version more memorable. 4:24 From the camera to the battle theme to the battle menu being a direct port from BW, this does seem like a Gen 5 battle in 3D. 6:28 - I think the camera clipping through things and the fact that you can see the unmodelled backs of buildings are why this version of the camera was scrapped in the first place. 8:00 - And suddenly English jumpscare. I'm pretty sure it's in a system font (maybe Arial?) and the quotes are definitely from a Painter or Artist trainer (at least before it turns into Japanese). 10:26 - I think the walk cycle is jank in general, it really needs polish. 10:53 - Instantly proven wrong... 11:27 - It seems like Game Freak phoned in the Pokemon menu, a shame really. 14:28 - So a look at the Chibi build has been under our noses this whole time... Also, that animation is Sacred Fire, is it not? 14:54 - You mean Deerling? And it evolves into Sawsbuck. 19:26 - Yeah, I do feel like it could've been better if they had pushed it back to 2015, maybe they could've done a Hoenn remake or something to fill the void in the meantime. 23:53 - They hadn't even made the final menu yet, apparently. 25:05 - I think the grass being like that is why that didn't have outlines by default yet... 27:18 - Yeah, because that definitely always existed and Game Freak put it in from the start! /j 27:28 - How ironic that it's the X and Y buttons that do that. 29:20 - More ORAS content? The first video was already great as it is, so I'd like to see more. 30:38- 30:49, 33:20 - They actually spent time and effort for a model they'd never use in anything public... 36:19 - You really don't like Deerling, do you? 38:01 - I feel like of all the things I've mentioned, that just so happened to get the most mileage due to how often Game Freak would keep that in. 39:20 - I wonder what Battle Movie could even mean... Maybe something to do with the Battle Recorder from previous generations? 40:39 - Wow... We're just porting everything from BW, aren't we? Also, the reason Celebi's sprite looks so jank is because those are their menu sprites, those have historically looked jank because they had to share the same few pallets between up to 649 Pokemon. 41:54 Apparently Pokemon Status doesn't exist yet, it just says "Temporary". 43:49 - Ayy... Umbreon and Shaymin, mah lads! 45:38 - This is definitely a test for the menu for when you select a Pokemon in the Pokemon menu... But is there a Pokemon who learns all four of those moves? 46:52 - I like that Hard Crash song/parody. 50:45 - Too many Reshirams! More than the game can handle! 52:01 - Of course Faceless Zorua is evil, I did say not to look directly at it... 52:16 - Ah, the Game Freak Shitpost has a play button now. 53:31 - So the partner mechanic from LGPE seems to have existed even back then, and to hear that Gen 5 had one as well as crazy. 57:31 - They should've used at least one of Hilda's models somewhere... 59:37 - That 3D beta "Pokepuff" looks more like a Poffin than anything else. 1:00:47 - To be honest, I'd like to see the Gen 5 co-op and that other mystery feature. I only found you once you started doing the Gen 6 stuff so I haven't had a chance to comment on any of the BW builds, but do whichever game feels more interesting to you.

Any build links or where to find them please?

I've commented before but I just wanna say now. Nice TWEWY pfp. Great fucking game

0:56 I haven seen clips of shit, This was just a random recommendation. If this is hitting recommendation, you might get hit by Nintendo. Be careful friend

No matter where i look i cant fint the compiled builds for it 😢😢😢 I only found the files of the Teraleak but no xy.cia...

how did you find the rom please. I try to launch the beta on citra but nothing happens 😔

Still looks better tban BDSP lol

52:16 Oh my god, I would have _loved_ to see the Game Freak intro animation from Black and White in 3D. They never used it again after BW2, right? If I am not mistaken, James Turner made it! =D

Wtf? 2011? Pc work early. 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Wt is a Z version?

I wonder if people will name the beta protagonists not just in xy (I don’t mind the idea of it)
