Minor error in this video. The Retired Rocket Grunt In B&W ISN'T IMPLIED to be the Grunt who stole Dig in gen 1, He's Implied, by the programmed Speech Pattern, To be The Grunt From Gen 2(and its remakes) who stole the Part from the power plant and hid it in Cerulean Gym.

@@elizabethrowlett3110 came here to say this. Gotta give Rocket a go-go guy his credit. He's probably the single most competent Rocket Grunt. Glad he turned things around and settled down.

The most egregious thing about AZ's Floette, imo, is the fact that it's actually on the cover of the ORAS National Pokédex guide! Specifically the one that was published by TPCI themselves. It's the front cover, second row, three mons to the right of the oversized Mega Latias sprite

[@scurreith3667]

And the most egregious for me is the fact that it literally was the only Pokémon to have access to the strongest Fairy Move in the game, imagine a Max Starfall with a Light of Ruin base? That’d be OP AF

[@hhjan594]

I actually got all 12 trade Pokemon from Curtis in my first White 2 playthrough. They don't randomly trade you those pokemon though, they will just want to date you once a day on the first call you reach them, and the 12 Pokemon will be traded to you after the date in the specific order listed on bulbapedia. They don't actually call you after you meet them, they will say that they have a busy career (cough cough they are an idol you can see on TV cough cough) and can't call people in their freedom so they ask YOU to call them. You can only call them in 3 random routes in the region for some reason, and the random routes will reset each time you call them so it does take a while to trade all 12 Pokemon with them but not really that tedious like Gen3 Feebas or Gen4 Munchlax.

[@excalibur493]

I got them all, as well. Just as a collection on B2W2 for hidden abilities without the dream world. I also have Dream Radar, which helps a little bit.

[@BluesGold.]

I used to specifically use the camera statues in the Rocket Hideout to train. Mainly because the wild pokemon levels in gen 2 were wack, but also because of the trainer XP boost. If you leave the hideout and come back, they are all reset.

[@JamesTheCelestial]

I wish i knew this a half hour ago before i completed that dungeon in my soulsilver run lmao

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

They reset in your game?? I often went outside to heal. In 20+ playthroughs of Crystal as well as Soulsilver it never happened to me once that a camera reset. I often used them to level up my Pokemon a bit but once the Rocket members at one camera point were beaten they never came back.

[@BluesGold.]

@@Grey_Warden_Invasion Only if you go to the computer and shut them off. Otherwise they would always reset for me. Also I never tried this with the original gen2 games, so I can’t say for sure it works there.

I am actually confused every time that so many people didn't know you could cut grass with cut. Like, that was one of the things I just ended up trying, cause I didn't want to run into Pokemon on a route. I am even more confused about the fact that you listed the camera controls for the rocket hideout as a secret. One of the Grunts literally tells you about that.

Not to mention that it appears in almost every "obscure Pokémon facts" video. Hyper Cutter also makes the area hit by Cut larger.

Interestingly, the move Kinesis was not learned by any Pokémon in Red and Blue, but it was still available. Kadabra learns that move only in Pokémon Yellow.

i remember finding the old man on accident and, not wanting to give up a valuable POKEMON9thought he'd keep them forever) I left a freshly hatched caterpie with him. lo and behold, I get the Caterpie back and read the note. Your pokemon also comes back with a free Comet Shard, iirc. I kept that caterpie and trained it up alongside the shiny I was breeding for, just because. it was a sad but wholesome side mission.

[@LagrimaArdiente]

I did the Curtis sidequest on Black 2! Had to use serebii as a guide because the spots for triggering the calls are super specific for whatever reason. But getting to trade with them isn't too hard once you meet with them in person. If I recall, they automatically show up at the Nimbasa Ferris Wheel once a day after that, and after riding the wheel with them (because they develop a crush on the player through the phone calls), they offer to trade the player a Pokémon that is otherwise unobtainable in the game and the player can offer whatever they want in return. Now unrelated, but I'm hoping someone reading this can confirm that I didn't imagine this (I can't check because my copy of X doesn't work anymore and I can't find any proof of this online and I'm going NUTS): there's a building in Lumiose City where they're shooting a cosmetics commercial with a Mamoswine in the lobby. One of the NPCs explains that it's for the brand Mamoswinelline (a reference to the real-life cosmetics brand of Maybelline). The NPC in question is an actress who is thoroughly impressed with the brand mascot's acting and then she makes a reference to the Maybelline tag, "Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline." Does anyone else remember this? 🥲

100% know about the mamoswine in XY. I never understood what the point was tho. It's in one of the cookie cutter buildings along the outer ring of the city (i feel like its in south boulevard, but it could be north) I imagine the only reason it's not easily found online is because nobody knows wtf thats about, and if they do its just not impressive enough to post about. Either way, just know youre not crazy :) Btw, wdym your copy doesnt work anymore? Mine stopped reading at some point, but i figured out if i press the cart in and hold it down, it'll read again. Else, eject and try again. It's always worked at some point for me when i wanted it to.

[@LagrimaArdiente]

@@PrinceTalonSabre THANK YOU My copy is digital and it seems the data in the microSD got corrupted or something. 🥲 I didn't even realize until a couple of hours away from the eShop closing, when I was checking to see if I had any funds left over and then noticed something was up whenever I highlighted the game on my home menu. I also didn't know there was a repair option within the eShop, so I deleted the game after it refused to open and kept crashing, and I tried to re-download it but was unsuccessful... I didn't like X much and I hadn't played it since like 2014, so I'm not too torn about it, but it still sucks to lose a game. 😔

[@EricBurns1]

Scarlet/Violet will have at least 1 secret unknown to us until later since it will be a hint to the generation 10 game

[@gluttonousgoddess]

Fun fact, the og truck seems to have been from a cut town in the center-right of the map. The square path? There was meant to be a cargo area there. My guess is they realized how out of place it would have been, but didn't want to abandon the unique truck sprite, so they hid it as a little Easter Egg. Also, in FRLG, if you trade a Pokemon with Cut (NOT white out! When you return to the pier the ship will instantly set sail!), but before going to the Sevii Islands, you can surf over to the truck, see the updated sprite, and get a Lava Cookie to the south of the truck.

Worth pointing out Gamefreak likes to hint at the next pokemon game they are working on regularly: Diamond and Pearl opens with the Red Gyrados on the Lake of Rage as well as having Jasmine give you the Waterfall HM, in Anistar City in X and Y you can find a sun dail with four islands on the horizon (a nearby npc mentions the existence of moon dials). This is what I can remember off hand, but I know there is a lot more. Also, near that same truck by the SS Anne in FR/LG, you can find a Lava Cookie.

[@Voidbear_FNaF_and_Undertale]

I've actually gone out of my way to trade galar meowth in SV because I don't know how many people would do the classes and such, and Perrserker is a really good support 'mon in raids as it gets Taunt and Helping Hand, plus the hidden ability(which you can access thanks to Ability Patches existing now) boosts steel type moves

[@mattsherack]

Bro I love your videos but I can’t lie sometimes I just spend like 1-2 minutes at a time getting lost in the pokeball gif background lol, like it puts me in some sort of trance

[@MrChristianDT]

Yeah, the grass cutting thing was useful if you didn't want to have wild pokemon Encounters. You don't even have to be standing in the grass itself for it to work, but since it only cuts a 1 block radius in every direction around you, it's a lot slower than taking a step or two in, first. Plus, in Gen 3, when they have the really tall grass, it takes two times to actually remove it. First attempt turns it into regular grass.

[@MichaelCoombes776]

Another thing about AZ's Floette is that it has a signature move "Light of Ruin', which can't be learned by anything else. This suggests to me that "AZ's Floette" is its own special instance, where most other Pokemon are like "a (Pokémon) owned by (Trainer)"

[@DragonfoxShadow]

8:58 not many people know about this one? Well... Perrserker was really, really overused in raids not too long after the release of the game. So, I think almost everyone knew about that one

Bonus fact about GS safari zone: its theorized that the exclusion of the safari zone was because the glitches surrounding it became more widely known during GS's development, and instead of taking extra time to fix the issue, they just scrapped it altogether

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

It seems more likely due to space limitations, because GS has almost all of its available ROM space taken up by game contents and the compression system used to fit it onto such a small cartridge. This includes a lot of unused content and events that never got distributed outside of Japan.

[@Infindox]

I doubt that AZ's Flowette was just leftover data because it has a specific Pokedex entry in USUM, and was brefly obtainable (if you hacked it) into HOME with a model and everything. It's a choice that TPC/Gamefreak made to not release this Pokemon and it's slighly confusing why they never did. You mentioned the truck in Let's Go but the truck also exists in FRLG. If you can get there with Surf without making the SS Anne leave the truck is still there. There's even a bonus item, a Lava Cookie!

[@xxAryAryxx]

AZ's Floette flower also appears in ORAS under a tree in Sootapolis city. This probably proves that whatever they had planned, it was cancelled very late in development if it still made it to ORAS.

[@seki108]

The Crogunk statue in Hop's home was theorized to be an antique that was passed down by Laventon, who is supposedly their ancestor. See, there was this side quest in Legends Arceus that asks you to catch a Crogunk for medicine use, and after doing that, the man who got cured by the medicine will show up chopping some trees saying he wants to make statues of Crogunks to worship them. It is possible Lavento went back to Galar in his older days and brought a Crogunk statue as a souvenier over there.

[@jrlaps521]

The Canalave Library book in BDSP is actually the intended way to figure out how to do the Sea’s Legends mission in Legends Arceus, outside of using the Internet. PLA gives absolutely no hints at what to do for it and intends for players to have played BDSP and make the connection. The book says exactly what you’re supposed to: have a Buizel, Mantyke, and Overqwil in your party, go to Cobalt Coastlands in the evening and swim through the two spikes sticking out of the water, and the go to Seaside Hollow and find Manaphy and Phione.

You probably already knew this, but the books added to the Canalave Library in bdsp, actually gives you the info you need to solve a puzzle in Legends Arceus. It's more than a lore drop, it's more than just a hint to the next Pokemon game at the time, it tells you the setup you need to recreate to solve a puzzle in PLA. And, if I remember right, that puzzle is mandatory for story progression in PLA.

Had to check the Joycon thing in Sword and Shield. Since I have the special edition of Tears of the Kingdom Switch. While it doesn't have the intricate design, it does have it's base colour, which is gold.

[@GamerJoseKun]

Also about the Croagunk statue from Sinnoh we get it's "origin story" in Legend Arceus, there is a side quest that the nurse asks for a Croagunk to use It's poison to make some medicine or something like that. And then after a guy gets better by using it, he says about making a statue or something as a homage for the Croagunk species that helped him. Oh and not only AZ Floette had unique design and stats, it also had an unique attack called Light of Ruin.

[@af5287]

Very cool info, I didn't know about that side quest. I actually have the real-life croagunk statue. A few pokemon centers in Japan did an event in 2009 called "Croagunk Bazaar" where if you brought in your DS with a full team of croagunk, you would be able to purchase special croagunk related items, like this statue and it only lasted a few weeks. I did not do it myself, but I bought it second hand because I have always loved the statue in game.

There are a lot more secrets in Alola, but I get the need to condense the content for a video. Before reaching the cave for the first trial there is a house, apparently it is Guzma's house which he left and his parents will tell you they miss him and don't know where he is. Another secret is that in one of the Ultra Wormholes you enter a world similar to the one you came from except that it is now destroyed and abandoned due to Guzzlord. There are obviously more but as a bonus, during the post-game (Episode Rainbow Rocket) you fight against Maxie and Archie from the different ORAS games. After defeating them they will both tell you about how they wonder if "someone" like you had stopped them they might not have destroyed the world with their plans. Okay, maybe it isn't so much a secret as it is a detail I hardly hear anyone talk about from the games.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Guzma's father also says he "Tried to beat that boy into shape, but then I was the one who got beaten." He has a bag of golf clubs that are bent up. The implication is that Guzma was abused and then hit his dad with the clubs to get back at him before running off.

[@VivaLaGiygas]

The amount of people who didn't know about the cameras in Gen 2 worry me, the game literally tells you that you can

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Not really a secret, you just have to beat the scientist standing directly in front of it. And I'd prefer NOT to turn them off. Each one only triggers one time, and it's a great way to get a decent amount of experience. You can fight a few, go back and heal, and then keep going where you left off.

[@KazShiro]

In all my years of playing pokemon I did not know you could turn the cameras off in Rocket HQ. Though for the truck they did give a nod to the rumors by placing a lava cooki there in Fire Red and Leaf Green which is an item thats supposed to be exclusive to hoenn

Also that book in BDSP is also something you can do in legends Arceus, collect the Pokémon in that story and go through the Arch way at the beach area, and Manaphy will appear as a new side quest. Also, considering that most games have hints towards future games. We might not know what's coming next until the next gen comes out, and then we can go back and relook for the hints in SV.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

You don't need BDSP save data. I don't have either of them but I got the quest and caught Manaphy. I don't think the book was hinting at a specific mission in a game that hadn't been conceived of at the time, but I DO think it was hinting at a Qwilfish evo that got pushed back repeatedly.

[@tommsey_ttv]

@@OtakuUnitedStudio you're right about unlocking the mission, my mistake. The book 100% relates to the mission in PL:A though. Wdym not conceived at the time, we'd seen previews of PL:A well before BDSP dropped 🤡

[@VictorSperry]

3:22 we will never know which person he was talking about...

[@JR-xt4nk]

it took me YEARS to figure out how to do the yancy side quest thing. As a 13 year old, I stayed up until 5 in the morning to get all the tradable pokémon from them. Good times.

[@shadowdragun]

0:40 Im pretty sure this isnt a secret tho

[@conorreedR2C]

Man... what if the front-wheel sprite was actually a scrapped landing animation from an unused idea where you jump off of ramps and terrain puzzles with the mach bike? That'd be so sick. It's a bummer pokemon hasn't truly yet incorporated BMX into its map design 😂

[@KertaDrake]

The front wheelie animation might not have been actually doing a wheelie, but rather jumping over a crevice on the Mach Bike.

[@pikachumaster97]

You forgot about the ash Greninja Easter egg in nemona's house in Cabo poco

[@Michael1Nightmare]

There was so much planned for gen 2 with gold and silver, but time constrains/limits meant a lot of things got cut including cinnebar island, the safari zone, among other things

[@walterpetersen776]

Ten years later you get to do all the events with crystal stuff too.

[@Northtendo]

The poster for the festival in SV’s DLC can be found around Paldea. There’s on on the restaurant you battle Larry in

[@skip2094]

Doing a wheelie on the front wheel is called a stoppie

[@michaelmalachite4404]

In gen 9 I like how you see professor Laventon and the hisuian pokeball on the history teacher's blackboard

[@dream_weaver6207]

Snarl is a TM in gen 5, but you can't find it anywhere

[@ct2xperience749]

It's not in the original BW games because it works like some kind of event. You were to bring a specific sealed item from gen 4 to gen 5 and talk to an npc that can unlock it. In B2W2 I think you can find it by talking to the backpack guy in the lostlorn forest.

[@jeannepucelle]

I miss the Acro bike. I miss doing wheelies and bunny hops. Our pokemon bike doesn't hold up to the actual Acro bike.

[@HaughtyToast]

The Yancy/Curtis fact is incorrect. They first call you when you stand on specific tiles. After you find enough tiles to trigger these calls, they then meat with you and take the Xtranciever back. From this point on it's up to YOU to call THEM. They can only be called on a specific set of routes at random and you have to call them 50 times to unlock the trades. The trades can only be done once per day.

[@ApenasUmCaraTM]

Fun fact: in the yancy/curtis side quest from b2w2 During the first part of this sidequest (the part where yanci/curtis talks to the player audio only) Most of her/his dialogue on this part is asking about the player. for example "whats your favorite pokemon type?" "what is your hobby"? If you already had agreed to help in the Passerby Analytics HQ on castelia city and then on the same building talked to the woman next to a table she will ask some questions to you The answers that you had choose to these questions will be the answers that your character will give to the questions that yanci/curtis will make in the first part of the sidequest They also has a dialogue where she/he ask the player how many gym badges does the player have The mininum amount of badges you can have before you get this dialogue is 4 But i wonder if using cheats you can active this dialogue while having no gym badges? i havent test it yet🤔

[@ReynoldsGarrett]

I do remember thinking that cutting grass was a Pokémon-Zelda feature, so I never batted an eye. But in retrospect, cutting grass in Pokémon is weird.

[@Soapstone_]

I grew up in Portugal and the Frog statues were to keep Gypsies out, I wonder if the Kroaker statue is the same ;O

[@Serious5GamingS5G]

0:48 I honestly thought that was common knowledge when I played Pokemon Crystal, but I didn't use the switch so I can beat up team rocket members to level up my pokemons

[@nanopoi8145]

In RYB, the Lass Trainer after Rock Tunnel mentions Munna. “I wish there was a pink Pokémon with a floral pattern”

[@derickfranks1589]

I figured the cut thing out in gen one accidentally, used it on all the grass north of Vermillion city, then stopped because I didn't know it would grow back.

[@SamSamSamSamSamSami]

Here is a wierd fact about AZ’s floette! In ORAS in sootopolis city when you stand in the middle of town under that GIGANTIC tree when you look to the right in the big flower patch you can sea AZ’s floette’s flower

[@iterativeimprovements2-pd9tz]

I did not know about the gen 2 cameras. That's awesome.

[@Bunsense_Gaming]

I'm a simple guy, I see papasea, I like the video

[@Bruh_idk69lul]

In BW (not their sequels), the TM95 for Snarl is actually in the game, but is unobtainable, as the event item required to obtain it was never distributed. B2W2 doesn't have this issue, as TM95 is obtained by a zoroark in the lostlorn forest.

[@raccoonpeddler6730]

its dumb and probably well known but if you cut a tree in the first few generations then you save where the tree was and reload you'll be standing over the tree... i thought i was so clever when i discovered this as a kid

[@gravysamich]

A front wheelie is called a stoppie as that is the only way to really initiate the trick.
