2:53 the reason why it doesn't mention Phanpy/Donphan is because they are ground types which don't get affected by Raichu's electric powers at all and that is actually pretty neat

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

Plus they are based on AFRICAN elephants, while Copperajah is based on Indian elephants.

[@ItsOviep]

Never though about it that way

[@hallm3lbp]

@@MrKlausbaudelaire this detail is specific as the original entry is a nod to Topsy, the Indian elephant that Thomas Edison infamously electrocuted.

[@coolsword]

Wow that's awesome

[@StraightestDakregor]

I'm surprised you didn't talk about nosepass, in the Highlands map, there's a group of nosepass that are all facing north unless you interact with them, exactly as past Pokedex entries and lore say they do.

[@ShinyTogeticFTW]

"Past Pokédex entries" lol don't you mean **future** Pokédex entries? After all, this game takes place in the past, so the stuff that was released earlier actually happened after this game.

[@LargeMic]

There is a request in the same zone where you have to bring a nosepass to a lady stuck in a cave so she can get out and she mentions in the dialogue that they always face north

[@brenduck]

they do it in pokemon go too. whenever you tap on one, it'll rotate to face you, but if you flee the battle it'll rotate north again after some time. couldn't tell you how happy i was when i saw that

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

Alpha Nosepass was the chillers Alpha. It say facing north the entire time while the ominous music played.

[@ibrahim6192]

Dude u literally make those entries urself they r ur future work

[@JaceOKami]

Something I only learned about today: a normally grounded Pokemon that has wings actually flies when sent out of their ball when above water, instead of sitting on that little floating boat. Examples for this is the Rowlet line. This is the first time since the series went 3D, that pokemon have 2 idle stances!

[@au-8482]

Yeah, the same goes for levitating Pokémon like Arceus or, more commonly, Ectoplasma

A fun fact I learned from my friend who speaks Japanese: the naming of the Hisuian Pokedex makes a bit more sense in Japanese because it means something closer to "field manual"

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

Plus "Pokedex" is basicaly "pokemon index", which makes more sense in japanese because its a language that tends to abbreviate terms by fusing words. Like the anime "Konosuba" being *kono* *suba* rashii sekai wo shukufukuwo (God Bless this Wonderful world).

[@myotheremailisacat]

@@MrKlausbaudelaire Compound words and portmanteaus are common in every language...

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

@@myotheremailisacat yes, but the way Japanese does it is quite unique on its own because its a language complete and utterly UNNABLE to do letter abbreviations due its syllabic alphabet, so every abbreviation becomes a word on its own.

[@sapphiresupernova]

@@MrKlausbaudelaire Heck, Pokémon itself is a portmanteau, so it's a Pocket Monster Index.

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

There is a fun detail I noticed: in battle, pokemons will always look at each other in the eye. So when you have pokemons with large heigh difference (lets say you throw a Dialga against a Turtwig like a maniac) they will both move their heads, eyes and even walk away so they can look each other in the eye, even during attack animation!

[@rainbowsylvie16]

I noticed that when my staraptor was battling a magmar! Love these little details

[@Commander_Appo]

I was battling the Alpha Rapidash and walked to the side of it, and it just jerked its head to stare at me. I’ve even got the screenshot because it looked so weird.

[@nickkrasny1562]

I sent my giratina out against a Golduck and the golduck did the “Willem Dafoe looking up” meme face 😂

[@Jedi_pup]

I have noticed also the pokemon will look at you when throw the pokeball too. When you try to capture in battle.

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

That explains why they move up to each other. Here I thought Giratina was just trying to intimidate me. Like, dude, there are no Skills in this game, and that's not even yours.

[@Spoffy5]

One little thing I noticed while playing. The Pokémon who spawn in the hot spring in the Iceland’s are friendly and won’t run away or attack!

[@philippak7726]

if you attack first they will retaliate, but that's pretty fair

[@Zertolurian]

the farmer having a comment if you give him an alpha pokemon actually applies to almost every quest involving lending one of the townsfolk a pokemon, like when the clothier asks to see a wormadam! in fact, for the Glameow quest, if you show the man an Alpha Glameow, he will actually tell you to go back and catch a normal-sized one, because he believes you caught the wrong pokemon- he specifies that the one he saw was "bidoof sized". i found that one out the hard way XD

[@janitoad7342]

I showed the honey guy an alpha Combee n he freakin loved it

[@zappyboi9301]

Yeah I noticed that during the Nosepass side quest

[@nanabobo567]

Here's a fun one I noticed while searching for the stupid Unown- behind the clothier there is a clothes line with fabric on it. The more you've unlocked in the clothing shop, the more fabrics will be on the lines.

[@tcdoesstuff]

Fun fact (haven’t seen anyone talk about this), but for the three farm quests (ground type, rock smash user, water type), you can use the Sinnoh starters. Just feels cool and I’m catching three Alpha starters for the farms.

[@Mrempoleon100]

another fun fact: You also can put Arceus, Dialga and Palkia there as well 🤣

[@magentasky234]

[@durian8986]

[@blankadams3120]

When Iscan asks you to catch a Dusknoir, he specifically points out that you can find them in the map area that looks like a clawed hand. The pokemon photos in the dex being literal pictures can be explained when you first arrive to fight the alpha Kriketune in deer's landing. Laventon comes running up and brandishes his camera, hoping to get pics of an alpha.

[@Argumentable]

Yeah, I was wondering how the hand was a fact that we "missed" when the game specifically tells you about it. Of course, some people don't read everything in games (guilty of that here) Everything else was cool though

[@NoodleGoblin]

Glad someone pointed this out, how could anyone miss that?

[@chaosstripe9446]

Or there's literally a photo studio with that exact white background in town?

[@cogafireese5290]

There's even an area close to the hand part named "Tombolo" Walk, which just sounds like thumb, adding more to the implication.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Love all the details put into this game!!! If I had to guess what happened with Misery's situation, it probably had something to do with day/night encounters getting swapped out. In the Bolderoll slopes, it looks like Graveler spawns during the day, but Zubat can also occupy that spot at night

[@expo_pkmn]

I believe Austin John Plays just put out a video testing this phenomenon. It's an interesting side effect! Also I enjoyed your Kleavor Gauntlet today! Keep up the fun content :)

So I've been alpha hunting for the last week or so and I came across a bunch of your videos and they're playing in the background start to finish. At the end of this I heard you start to talk about the Seed advances and how the species is independent of the advance. Funny enough, i posted my video on Swapping Shiny Pokemon the same day as this video, the 5th. sadly it's only applicable for a small pool of pokemon, but after your 6th shiny starly, it's helpful lol.

[@BlueBoyPhin]

That’s so rad!! Hope you’ve been enjoying the vids! I saw your shiny swapping vid in my recommended right after I uploaded the video haha, I didn’t realize people were starting to look into it yet at the time, ur vid was great on it, although pretty situational still pretty interesting IMO!

[@sallytims6894]

I noticed a random animation detail today. When your character wears geta sandals, if you walk slowly you'll see your character's foot lift first and the sandal will follow shortly after

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

and the sound of your steps on hard surfaces is more "wooden" compared to other footwears.

[@UnDefinedLegacy]

In your place outside of the door threshold area you are barefoot. Then going into the door threshold area you got shoes.

[@ShinyTogeticFTW]

@@UnDefinedLegacy the shoes vanish in everyone's dwelling places when you're not in the area near the door; it's common in some cultures - including Japanese - to remove your shoes when you're inside a home.

[@thestr8cougar]

That last fact, I saw a guy calling it the "shiny swap method". He found a shiny drifblim and saved, waited til it was morning in his game and saved again, reset the game and it was a starly. So once there's a pokemon in that grid the shiny will be replaced.

[@Fidothedog11212]

You're talking about this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGrPaodsmptkeMk

[@nickinq]

another fact is that when you throw one of your pokemon in water areas, they will either fly, levitate or stand on a wooden platform which is WAYY better than pokemon just magically standing on the surface of the water.

[@rubengoldman5830]

The image of a genuinely intimidating pokemon having to stand on a wooden floatie to fight a bascilin is hilarious.

Just to note, the new basculin isn't a hisuian form, it's classified as its White-Stripe form, just like the Blue-Stripe

[@MMSR_Reds]

Red, white, and blue, true to its Unovan (NY equivalent in Pokemon) origins :)

[@BlueBoyPhin]

if you look at the pokedex entry for basculin it says the professor classifies it as a regional form based on its gentle behavior in comparison to normal basculin though?

[@darththeo]

@@BlueBoyPhin " Though it differs from other Basculin in several respects, including demeanor-this one is gentle-I have categorized it as a regional form given the vast array of shared qualities." It is just saying Laventon considers it a regional form, not that it is one.

[@Tarro57]

@@BlueBoyPhin I would argue that other Hisuian forms are specifically labeled as such in the Pokedex though, unlike Basculin

[@M_Alexander]

To be fair, if it were called Hisuian Basculin, I guarantee we'd end up calling it White Stripe regardless

[@AshXXMayftw]

Another neat little detail is if you do enough requests around the village, you'll start seeing pokemon and their trainers up and about. This can be seen very early on with a Bidoof request where you must track down 3 Bidoofs around town and afterwards those same Bidoofs will appear on top of their new owner's house. Or how in one request you have to catch a Geodude to help a woman prepare a pickled dish by having the pokemon sit on top of the pot. If you do this, you'll see the Geodude sitting on the same pot from then on.

[@KorgCrimson]

Imagine being yanked from the wild only to be used as a weight for a lid 🤣

[@tera1692]

Another neat detail I noticed is that if you talk to either the lady or the Geodude after awhile, the Geodude will evolve like the Wurmple does!

I love how much unnecessary detail they put into this game! I've actually noticed a few things to add on to some of the findings in this video. - Your character also reacts to other things aside from successful captures as well. Their expression changes if they're being targeted, if they have a status condition such as frostbite, or if there's a pokemon nearby (such as when Aipom runs up to you). - The gardener isn't the only NPC who gives special dialogue if you bring him an alpha. I brought an alpha starly to the one lady who gives you the starly quest, and she commented on its size too.

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: Read at own risk⚠️ A neat (and kinda obvious) detail I noticed in the 3 trials of the lake spirits is how Azelf's trial tests how determined you are and just how long you'll sit there and throw balms, incarnating willpower. Mesprit's trial has no wrong answer like how there are no wrong emotions. And Uxie's Trial has a never-changing definitive answer, embodying how knowledge is either right or wrong with no room for error.

[@YourMid740]

Fun Fact about Azelf: You notice how when you throw balms at it and it teleports out if the way? Well after the third try, it stands still and let’s you hit it, almost as if you proved your willpower and allowed you to hit it and finish the trial.

[@evang909]

The Graveler changed to Zubat because of day/night cycles. So that Graveler spawn turned into a Zubat and kept it's shiny seed. Pretty cool.

Here's something interesting: Take a good look at the design of the floor during the Arceus encounter at the end of the game. Players who had completed the Arceus event back in HG/SS should easily recognize this "very specific" design...

[@1991birthday]

Oh, what you said on the shiny Graveler, I found a shiny Graveler while hunting Hisuian Sneasel & that particular spot I saw it in, I noticed a Haunter took it during the night. I wonder if I had left the Graveler there, slept until night, & went back if it would of been a shiny Haunter instead. Thanks for letting us know about this, I think I’ll experiment with it in the future. I caught it as a Graveler so obviously too late to experiment with that now but next time I find a random shiny, I’ll save immediately & pin my location & if the spawn changes at night, see if I can change the shiny.

[@Jellylamps]

It only works with a save and reset

[@blarkin145]

I actually did this when I encountered a Shiny Combee, the time of day shifted shortly after the Combee spawned and it was replaced with a Shiny Zubat. Right in front of my eyes. I didn't have Autosave turned off at that point, but I decided to reset the game anyway. 5 minutes later, I'd navigated back to where the Shiny Combee was and it re-spawned giving me a second chance at it (and I caught it). The observations at the end of this video more or less confirmed my suspicions - Shiny encounters are decided the moment you enter the map/area and so long as your game auto-saved after arrival, you can re-attempt that shiny.

[@mf-cf8tr]

Adding to the roof in Jubilife Village where you can throw your Pokémon on top of it, I’ve found a few different areas in the game where you can throw your Pokémon into weird places. In certain spots in caves, if you throw your Pokémon in certain parts of the ceiling, you can get your Pokémon to clip through the ceiling, just sort of stuck there with their legs hanging out from under it. I’ve been able to do this is the first cave of the Coronet Highlands and one of the overworld caves in the Alabaster Icelands, and I’d assume there’s probably more places you can do this as well that I hadn’t found yet

Hi! Keep on with the great work as always! I'm italian, and in our localization of the game Arezu is named Maru, which reminds the Japanese pronunciation for Mars, the Roman God of war. It's curious how they chose the Greek name for the God of war Ares in the english localization... Oh, and by the way, just to add context, Mars is named after the latin word for the God also in italian: Martes 😁

[@ReneePrower]

Funny enough, Austin John put up a video on the same day as this one going into how shiny swapping works. The community is really on top of these things! 😄

[@A11V1R15]

Blissey usually flee from you, but if you're hurt (red borders) they'll get closer and heal you. Then they flee

[@fab.912]

To add to the fact at around 6:20 about the Pokedex. Sword and Shield's dex also allows you to show the shiny form as the preview if you have the shiny encountered or caught. So perhaps it's just this generations thing that they're going to implement going forward Awesome vid by the way. I always learn so many little things :)

[@domeko_377]

That has actually been a thing since gen 5

[@fab.912]

@@domeko_377 Oh cool, nice to know. I never had a shiny in any of the DS games, so never bothered looking at the dex lol

[@joshuabidleman9912]

When I started the game, I noticed that the shirt my character was wearing was the same as the default alternate shirt you get in X&Y. Of course, my brain is too small to connect that to "Legends: Zygarde", but seeing this video makes me think that Kalos will finally be done justice.

[@carlmoman4787]

Some of the newer pokemon iterations also allowed you to set the shiny version of the pokemon as the default pokedex picture. It isn't new to legends arceus. The folds are a nice detail tho

[@deltaslime1662]

Talking about the pokedex being a physical book, as you progress in the game (or as you catch more pokemon, i don't actually know), the front page of the pokedex shows more and more traces of wear, meaning that it's completely pristine at the start, and as you go on, the colors start to fade at the edges

[@bellablossomz]

I love the little details about all the games, honestly. This was a good video!

[@user-nx3bd5vi9u]

Bro predicted Pokemon legends z-a 2 years ago!!!😂😂 2:23

[@Jellylamps]

The last point already has a decent bit of understanding. Under ordinary circumstances, a Pokémon replacing a shiny by a day/night cycle respawn wouldn’t retain the shininess, but when saved and reset, the shininess of the original is then applied. I’m not personally sure if this always works but the effect can be repeated endlessly if found to happen once. Also not sure if it may hold worth as a way to grind a shiny into an alpha shiny. These mechanics might also hint at some weird quirks of shiny luck with “replacement” Pokémon when not resetting

[@raddious]

The female player character's starting shirt is the luxury ball shirt from sun and moon.

[@DisbinguishedYT]

2:22 he’s a time traveler holy crap

[@MtheGate]

My favourite fact so far is that in the overworld, Nosepass always faces north

[@gabrielcamacho1592]

no way you kinda predicted legends z-a!!

[@CrazyWS]

Since the pokedex is just a book with pictures like you said, it makes sense that when I saw my first shiny (ever) and failed it, even though I was in a battle with it I don’t have the shiny picture in my dex. You get the photographs after you capture them and presumably take the Pokémon to get it’s picture taken with the photographer in town.

[@dealuxe_7545]

i got recommended this after watching the direct lmaooo 😂 2:21 you nailed it!!

[@makaylariley6922]

dude you called it for the Legends of Z!!!

[@ioRyTo1]

2:21 OMG you saw the future

[@Hutch2Much]

here’s an interesting one: despite the name, if you look at the map, Jubilife Village doesn’t become Jubilife City; it becomes Canalave. and this wasn’t an oversight; not only is it set up exactly the same, in the beginning of the game, Laventon tells you the avenue you walk down is Canala Avenue

[@Dante02d12]

That doesn't make sense. There's no sea North of the Jubilife Village, and it is clearly on the mainland. Canalave just doesn't exist in this game. Although that's not impossible either, since there _are_ inconsistencies between Hisui and Sinnoh as we know it. For example, in Sinnoh, Route 201 is shaped like a T, with the lake on the left, and the towns on the right. But in Hisui, it's a straight line between Twinleaf and Sandgem. Also, there's no room for Snowpoint City, as it's supposed to be near a sea but there's just mountains beneath the Temple. Besides, the entrance to the Temple is on the wrong side. So maybe you're right, but it's inconsistent.

[@greybatter9727]

The fact that the player character is originally from Kalos is kind of a contradiction, because in Raichu's Pokédex entry where it mentions Copperajah, it also mentions "from my homeland."

[@MMSR_Reds]

That entry is from Laventon, not the main character. Laventon is implied to be from a different country as Hisui, as he uses mix of English words when you play in languages like Japanese or Korean. (Idk how they handled this nuance in English version actually)

[@wesley0a]

@2:23 congrats you called it

[@Finkle76]

That last thing with the saving for a different shiny sounds really interesting and I can't wait to hear about how the community uses it

[@Kesstiel]

Omg I can't wait to test some of these out, thanks for the great video!

[@dialgafan1063]

6:25 there a have been a ton of poxedexs across the games that keep form changes after you exit them. This video though is still really good! Good work! Thank you!

[@AnimeFreak1193]

legends zygard is next 8) Comming back 2 years later bc i remembered this line .... AND ITS TRUE XDDD

[@paradoxxop2187]

2:57 I mean phanpy/donphan is an elephant like pokemon but its also a ground type which makes no sense to see it being incapacitated by a raichu wherein copperajah is a steel type

[@Kawaiitwo]

I discovered the Alpha farmland detail when I didn’t have any Pokémon with Rock Smash besides one of my 3 Alpha Kricketune. I was pretty pleased that they added that in, but I was pretty disappointed when the Parasect quest didn’t yield similar results…

[@JohnnyWesker]

Awesome videos!! I found some details that I've haven't seen in your videos tho: -I'm shiny hunting for a living shiny dex and I found out that the shiny wild pokémon jingle is a little bit longer that your own pokémon team shiny jingle. So maybe you should rely more on your hearing than your sight. -I found out that an empty black pokéball is way heavier than a black pokéball with a pokémon already inside of it.

[@Sora1the]

congrats on legends zygarde prediction coming true

[@ohmadamn]

The shiny swap method seems to be true. Two other channels have mentioned it. Really hoping to manipulate this tactic in the future 👍

[@alexdigg]

6:08, what is also super cool that wasn't touched on, is that if you manage to catch a pokemon for the first time as a shiny (this happened to me with silcoon), that is the only version you can see in the Pokedex until you catch a non-shiny version, because the professor has only seen the shiny version

[@oliverdarque69]

That last park of the video got me shook because I literally just ran into a shiny machop 💚😭 duuude flying around on braviary makes shiny hunting so much easier lol
