25 SECRETS THAT 97% OF PLAYERS DONT KNOW OF POKEMON RUBY & SAPPHIRE

[@immortallegacy100]

The very first "secret" is wrong lol. An NPC in Littleroot Town says the player character is from Johto. Also, seeing how Norman was already a gym leader prior to moving to Hoenn, it's entirely possible that Whitney replaced Norman as the Goldenrod City gym leader. It's also entirely possible that she's your older sister seeing how your mother hints that you have a sibling seeing how you won't have to share a room anymore (can't imagine you've shared a bedroom with your mom and dad all these years). Some even speculate that Whitney is your older sister, and that she inherited the Goldenrod Gym form your father.

[@pulluponkhaleeq]

Thats some lore i can respect

[@flightloungebeats]

if Whitney is the sister then that means they left like a 16 year old girl behind in johto 😭😭

[@SirMisterMonsieur]

So for the first secret, it can actually be found in the game too! If you go to Petalburg City, the house to the far south will have a lady inside that will say, "Norman became our town's new Gym Leader. I think he called his family over from the Johto region." So the game confirms the player is originally from Johto too! Just thought I'd add that!

[@pokeman260]

Lol no one ever talks to NPCs. In Petalburg, there’s an NPC that states their new Gym Leader Norman and his family moved from Johto.

[@pokeman260]

I don’t blame anyone for missing it. I only know because I’m playing through the game currently

#2 is known in the bike world as an endo. Happens when you intentionally use the front brake, the "trick" is keeping your bike upright lol

[@WillowChord]

How do I do this?

[@andrewince8824]

Also, weight shifting to perform a nozzer or nose manual. Front brake isn't necessarily necessary to getting the arse end up and can, for some at least, be a good way to join flight school. Every budding BMX rider has had an OTB because they misjudged the setup when they grabbed a handful of brake.

[@andrewince8824]

​@@WillowChord roll slow, set yourself up relaxed with knees slightly bent, feather the front brake as you shift your weight slightly forward. As the rear lifts try to shift your mass to stay largely over the front axle. Don't grab a handful of brake or go in too fast or you'll have what we call an OTB (over the bars). Start slow, find the sweet spot. Eventually you'll be able to remove the use of the brake altogether and perform an endo while rolling, we call that a nose manual or nozzer. Once you're comfortable you'll be able to put the bike on its nose then by shifting you weight rearward with some force you'll be able to do a nollie (a hop from the nose). Just take baby steps, practice and most importantly, wear a helmet.

0:44 GOOD QUESTION!!! In the Pokemon Trading Card Game on the 'GameBoy' console, one of the greatest mysteries in the first Gen game is the inaccessible door in the Poke-Cup Tournament Coliseum. So far, there is no KZbin video or source following up on the game to further explain its purpose. In the second Gen, the door leads to new content to further open up a DLC portion of the game.

[@astroferret4700]

I found the Regi trio entirety by mistake, I found that little area with the dents and I’m like “is that braille?” Looked up braille alphabet hand did the thing and the room shook then I was confused, until wandering around those strange rocks that suddenly had a cave now

[@Guyontheinternet164]

I was 10 when I found the braille, I didn't know what it was. My naive mind thought my game was broken and I called Nintendo(as a 10 yr old!) to ask them to help me fix the problem. I spoke to a nice lady and she actually mailed me a translation for the braille to my home address since I lived basically in farmland and had no access to the internet. Figuring out the puzzles with that piece of paper to guide me is one of my favorite childhood memories.

[@TobiTehMajyk]

For the legendary Beasts soundtrack, I find it even more interesting that this was made and included in these games, but then in FRLG, the companion games where the Beasts did become available, the soundtrack was NOT added. Probably just an oopsie daisy, or they ran out of time to get the roaming soundtrack to play correctly.

[@David-bj8ri]

I'm still always impressed by the leap we got from gen 2 to 3, in terms of graphics, mechanics and so many small mysterious things that were so cool for the time. Honestly as much as I want pokemon games to be as good as they were it'll never happen and that's a little sad. The games don't have that sense of wonder anymore, the Internet being what it is responsible is a big part of why that's a thing for a lot of games now.

[@andrewince8824]

That was a tech thing. The original Gameboy held Gen 1 back, the GB colour offered better performance and so better rendering/gameplay but the GB Advance was a ridiculous upgrade. Massively improved displays combined with much better chips allowed some incredibly complex games for the time. It's partly why backwards compatibility isn't really a thing in Pokemon, older consoles simply can't handle the software and improvements. The GB and GBC were not massively different. Same format cartridge, slight improvement in performance and a slightly improved screen in the GBC but not overall much different. The GBA was like a PS5 compared to a PS1 when it replaced the GBC. It can run some GB and GBC cartridges and some players have noticed faster load times on the GBA because it has, in the words of Saint Jeremy of Clarkson, Power!!!

[@David-bj8ri]

@@andrewince8824 That's true, didn't help that gen 1 came out years after the GB had already released

[@GustavoJua15]

Thought that Ruby and Sapphire did mention the player came from Johto, only being omitted in Emerald.

The Johto thing is also confirmed via new dialogue in the remakes.

[@williamdeleon2659]

That dialog is also in the originals im currently playing them and saw it

[@andrewince8824]

That front wheel wheelie is called an endo or nose manual (often referred to as a nozzer). When Gen 3 came out, BMX was reaching the "mid-school" stage, bike trials was becoming popular, slopestyle (sometimes called Dirt Jump) and Freeride MTB (an offshoot of downhill) were taking off (pun intended). It's likely that the Acro bike was intended as a reference to these growing and popular forms of trick riding but the nozzer was likely deemed useless from a gameplay perspective as besides a little nozzer to hop, there's not a huge amount you can do with the trick and nothing you can't do from a wheelie or manual (wheelie without pedaling). The Acro bike can perform a 180 flat (a 180° spin from a hop, not a ramp) and can perform brake stall hops both static and in motion as well as side hops, all moves crucial to bike trials and which were really starting to see massive use in BMX to diversify what could be done in a skate park. As a long time BMX rider (over 16 years) and a fairly experienced enduro MTB rider (4 years) seeing the Acro bike in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald made me super excited as a kid and still offers a little thrill as a 26 year old pokemon and bike nerd.

[@thekrx985]

for the legendary beasts theme, i’m pretty sure that the theme is just in the game to test out the gba sound font. it’s entirely possible that they might’ve been planned to be in the game, but i’m still sure the theme is only in for testing purposes only

[@frankiex99_2ndchannel]

There are ways to reset the RTC after replacing the battery. There's plenty of videos on this too!

I think that all this information is very interesting and if Brendan/ Ruby is originally from Johto in the Games/ Manga universe so then is May originally from Johto in the Anime since she is Norman’s daughter in The show.

[@travelandfestivals]

I will never forget the day i bought Ruby. I was in Belgium with my mom for an medical operation on my hand. I think i was around 10 years old. We went into a game shop, i remember it being a small shop like corridor with games on both walls. I saw pokemon it was in french and i had to have it. It was the nost expensive yet, i had super mario world and lotr 2 before pokemon. Ended up buying it and also a used copy of earth worm jim. I was stuck after the electric gym leader cos i didnt understand french, luckuly a friend of my in school had sapphire in english so i went off from there. As a side note, gba and gba games werent available in my country. Years later i still uncovered sone stuff in the game: randomly finding rayquaza, and even some years later when the internet became mainstream i found the regis. Fun times, i still have the game working, never got to mirrage island tho and cant anymore.

[@adamk9652]

12:39 I remember back in the day waking up at 4am deciphering the message for the Reggies. I gave up and I'm glad I did till I got older to use them to get regigigas. If I solved the puzzle as a kid, I would have knocked them out like I did with Latinos and Groundon. Yeah one of these days I have to replace the internal battery and start a new game.

[@MinishDude]

I don't know that the shiny Ditto trick would work, unless they've changed it. I had a shiny Ditto in Pokémon Y and was disappointed to find out that it transformed into base colors when fighting non-shiny Pokémon.

[@bewearstar9462]

Gen 3 was the only gen where shiny ditto would be the shiny form of the opponent

[@zekehapman]

The scorched slab has Heatran in ORAS

[@EveryGameEver]

Love the vid! It should be noted that changing the battery does backdate the RTC as you said, but it actually does fix some of the clock events (but frustratingly not others) Using an R4 card, a special program, and a DS you can change the RTC to the current date and fix everything tho! :)

[@Cyntaria]

I tested it with my emerad cart accidentally. The RTC does backdate but it's not permanent. If you wait, it can catch up. Obviously this isn't good for old childhood saves but for my 6 month old living dex save I was able to let it catch up. So now daily events worked again, not just time of day events (shoal cave, sorry if this doesn't make sense)

[@brandonswanson8902]

Alao, in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, tje Scorched Slab has even more relevance and reasons, pural, to go back later! This is because it now has even more floors in side. You'll even come across Flannery again who mentions that there's a rare Pojémon inhabiting it, which turns out to be Heatran!

[@Cyntaria]

The gen 2 music that was included was likely just for test reasons. Every generation with a big leap had test tracks from previous games. Also, later revisions of R/S do not have the berry glitch, you can use E/FR/LG to fix the berry glitch, and emerald also has the battery glitch, but some clock based events still work. Time of day things like shoal cave still work but things like berriea and lottery which require days to pass do not work. I also don't know if later revisions of R/S are affected by this as I don't remember my childhood save being having to catch up but I could be mistaken about that one.

[@verloser]

funny enough the last bit about time stuff not working, that would be the rocket launches and the mirage island i think. the shoal cave still works for me tide up and down, i just check back every few hours and yes the internal battery is dry. currently using my gba sp with ruby to train 1 pokemon with 5 zigzigoons pickup ability and farm rare items

[@nelsonrodriguez2085]

14:00 if You have a DS and an R4, there is a homebrew program to fix this, all You gotta do is set the date to the actual date of today (instead of 2000 like the Berry fix program), as your cartdrige internally never got to 2024, You will never have that problem, other "quick" fix is to restart your save file (do a hard erase, not just overwrite)

[@K6Dark6Devil6K]

13:12 it's wrong, I changed my battery from my Pokémon Ruby some months ago and the game works fine with time events like berry's and other stuff. So you can trust and change your batterys because the game will works fine, and it's kind of easy change the battery.

[@Luauiu]

Are you like dumb or something? the video doesnt say anything about game not working lol, it states that events such as berries DONT WORK while battery is dead, its more than obvius that if you replace it everything will come back to normal
