Out of all the little obscure things I’ve found out about Pokémon, the voice message of confessed love will always be my favorite.

[@OliverMKP]

The Gen 5 intro shiny Mincchino so interesting! The reason why that is possible is actually because GF wanted to use an animated sprite for the intro's Pokemon for the first time instead of a static picture like the gens before! And instead programming one just for the intro, they copied the animation of a wild encounter Mincchino! That means each Mincchino in the intro gets the shiny roll any wild encounter Mincchino would get as well. It also rolls nature and IV's, even tho we will never know which ones since it's the Professor's one! Just thought it might interest a few as to why it's possible to be shiny in the intro. Another great video, Phin!!

another interesting thing about shinies in gen 2, the values that determined if your pokemon is shiny were the same one that determined what letter unown was. those values would become iv values later on, and the only letters you could get shiny were i and v.

[@Sanguine_Jackson]

damn bruh

[@PtylerBeats]

That’s crazy

[@PrettyFungi]

Damn what a weird coincidence because correct me if I’m wrong, but isnt the shiny determined on the IV values from the Gen 1 games?

[@Flaming_Rok]

@@PrettyFungi The IV system from Gens 1 and 2 are one in the same to allow trading between the two once the time machine is active. Essentially, the Attack IV determines gender and despite there being the Special Split for Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense, they both share one IV in the Special IV.

[@Bengt2509]

I ALSO COMMENTED THIS LOL (I didn’t know you already commented this so sorry for kinde of copying you)

[@Pepperly]

There was a massive club of people on tumblr who passed around non-shiny eggs to matching shiny ID people (it was really easy to help people find their IDs to participate as hatchers). It was insane. So many competitive eggs got passed around. This happened in the X/Y era iirc.

[@Quiet-Winter]

I know this is an old comment, but I decided to open my old X/Y game(s); I recieved 4 of these eggs in a trade and had no idea wtf it was about! Even though I played heavily at the time of their drop, I must have stopped when this became a thing. I was extremely confused by it and I'm glad you left an explanation! Now I know what to look out for when I move up to the current gen!! 😂🤘

Yep same, but for reddit. XY was what a time to be alive. EZPZ legit competitive shinies

[@willkriss1497]

[@AquamarineVaporeon]

Unfortunately, the manaphy egg is most likely shiny locked. Gen 8 changed the egg mechanics so that trading doesn’t affect the shiny value. If you obtain an egg that would hatch shiny in sword and shield, then trade it away, it will still be shiny

That Egg hunt thing could actually work with a DNS server exploit that was found a few years back. It works on Gens 4 and 5 (5 tends to be much easier to set up) and actually gives you access to old Wi-Fi events.

[@SummonerArthur]

Exactly. But I wonder if that would ever work, someone would just screw it up

[@fowyingahviyiff1878]

I can only imagine how hard some of these must have been to find. The female starter not being shiny in gen 2 was something I had to learn the hard way spending so long hunting chikorita. I looked up videos of hunting the gen 2 starters and heard someone mention it, it became very useful when I started resetting after seeing its gender.

[@cursedGalataea]

9:09 you never heard of Shiny PID trading? That was common on X&Y when perfect IV breeding became much easier and you could hack your game PID much easier on the 3DS. A lot of people would go on trading boards when they bred a perfect pokemon that wasn't shiny and needed someone else to hatch it shiny for them.

[@MAP233224]

The Nature-Back Sprite Animation relationship is only present in Diamond and Pearl (not Platinum, not HGSS). And it's not about the speed stat, it's about the name of the Nature (the character, personality) to put it simply. The groups are: Fast (1): Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Impish, Jolly, Hasty, Naive. Normal (2): Bold, Docile, Relaxed, Lax, Serious, Rash, Calm, Sassy, Quirky. Slow (3): Lonely, Timid, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Gentle, Careful. And the 1-2-3/fast-normal-slow groups aren't the actual time it takes to complete the animation, but rather the "excitement level" of the animation.

[@BlueBoyPhin]

Thanks for pointing this out! Appreciate it!

[@TRquiet]

Big props for making a video of pokémon facts I legitimately didn’t know. Finding fact videos with actual new information for me is the real shiny hunt.

[@shyshadow3745]

The natures in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum effecting the speed of how fast the pokeball is thrown out makes me wonder how it effects speed running. While it is a minor difference that can add up overtime and can maybe effect overall time in a glitchless run. It makes me wonder how many of the top runners for these games had +Speed natures for their main Pokémon

[@lucasgarcia8285]

I doubt the speed bonus for throwing out doesn’t make up for stat damage bonus which is why most people run X set. Like you’re not going to save time if you have to two shot something instead of one shot bc you wanted your throw out time to be faster.

[@Pokeman0070]

“Especially after they did away with event Pokémon that took you to whole new locations after Gen 4” Did you forget Liberty Garden with Victini in Black and White? But I totally agree, I really hope they bring it back with new games, and I’m glad they have done the Shaymin event in BDSP

Not trying to be that guy, but technically it would make it the first Pokemon DESIGN ever made. While Rhydon would still be the first Pokemon created since the design was created with the purpose of being a Pokemon instead of just being a fun design that was later used for a Pokemon. For clarity, the original design wasn't given the name Diglett until Pokemon was created and by then Rhydon was already designed and named.

The speedrunner Werster cleared up the nature thing in DPPt! It’s not necessarily determined by + or - Speed, but each Pokémon having 3 different animation groups that a selection of natures fall into. It’s different for every Pokémon, including within their own evolution line, so a Chimchar and Infernape with the same nature would have different animation speeds. I can link the tweet to source if you need

@Sketcher Sunny Its a server emulating or mimicking the original mystery gift servers from back in the day. The ability to modify your DNS address was likely for troubleshooting reasons or if need to get online with an odd setup. We are just pointing it to the server that someone set up to give mystery gifts or to the GTS server which is a different server entirely.

[@eddiebooth4466]

The Cinderella Manaphy quest would be a really cool thing to get involved with, you’ve just got to hope that everyone in the quest is trustworthy

[@CybernetCatgirl]

I have bad news over the Manaphy egg shuffle hunt. In Sword and Shield, and in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl based on code leaks, eggs that would hatch as shiny for their original trainer will hatch shiny for any other trainer, and more importantly for this hunt, eggs that would not hatch as shiny for their original trainer would not hatch as shiny for anyone else, either. So if the Manaphy egg is shiny locked, there will be no way to hunt it in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

[@kd1134]

Hey stop ending the Pokémon scammer I want to trade someone a lvl 1 magicarp

[@The_Viridian]

I have been hunting Manaphy for three years. I've gone over 11k hatches without a shiny, which sucks because this is the last mon you want to go over odds on. Regardless, I think the BDSP egg will be shiny locked no matter what, since they changed how eggs are created in gen 8 I think? So now when its shiny on one file, it will be shiny on all files, and same with non shinies. Anyways, great video!

[@Suntaile]

The shiny hunt is very similar to how people found guaranteed shinies back in Gen 6 in X and Y or it was in Sword and Shield who worked like that. There was some sort of ID resetting of the eggs that made you be able to keep resetting it with others to ensure you get the ID correct to make it a shiny.

Which is what happens in R/B/Y Also, you made the point that it was only Gen 2 had that shiny set up.. however, Gen 1 Pokémon CAN be shiny, and it is also based on stats. While you can't see the shininess of the Pokémon if they are shiny in the Gen 1 games, you can trade them to Gen 2 and they will indeed be shiny.

One thing I bet people don't know is that the physical/special split was first introduced in Gen 3, via XD: Gale of Darkness. This only applied to shadow moves, which were classified as having no type, so for example, Shadow Rush was a physical attack, whereas Shadow Wave was a special attack.

Although to be fair if you could trade an egg for another egg and others had what was clearly manaphy eggs in the online services, I'd be willing to try cycling through eggs that way... if it's confirmed possible. At the very least I'll store the egg and not hatch it till it is confirmed.

Werster actually commented on that, and apparently it's not Speed related but Nature related. So Chimchar can have a short entrance in one Nature,but Infernape will have a long entrance for the same Nature. Or vice versa. And apparently it's also on Emerald in some way, if I got this right.

A female Pokémon of a species with a gender ratio of 7M:1F could only have an Attack IV of 0 or 1, and thus not be shiny.

Great video! There was actually an instance of an event pokemon taking you to a hidden location beyond Gen 4 though... I remember an event early in Gen 5 where you went to an island to catch Victini

I knew about the shiny minchino in black and white, the professor throwing it out. In total I have known around 5 facts so far of all the vids. Good quality

You mentioned how there weren't any areas exclusive to legendaries after Generation 4, but I think you're forgetting about the Liberty Garden in Pokemon Black and White. If you didn't get the Liberty Pass from the event a decade ago you would be unable to make it into the garden. I remember how excited I was to get the Liberty Pass since I live near NYC and have been to Liberty Island in real life before. (Also, I must confess Pokemon Puzzle League is one of my favorite spin off games and I've beaten it many times. It was nice hearing an Easter egg about one of my most beloved games!)

0:01 What kind of color blind? There’s multiple types of color blind, such as red-green color blind and blue-yellow color blind. Not every color blind creature sees only black and white, that is actually the rarest type of color blind!

Black and white

[@Akwatypus]

Ah, I knew about the high-level Pokémon encounter animation thing this time! That's how you knew you were gonna run into a terrifying Dugtrio in FRLG Diglett cave...

That Naruto reference is impossible because the Pokémon move Double Team came out in gen 1(1996) and Naruto came out in 1999

I already knew about the battle intros, since I've seen a video showcasing them in gen 1 and 2 so I figured, gen 3 (and beyond) has similar ones. I discovered the shiny gen 2 starters/Eevee thing when I tried to use arbitary code execution to turn my female Quilava shiny -- when she went from a normal Quilava to a shiny one, she also became a he! :D
