[@theoneeyedfool]

In high school, I became very good friends with a JP foreign exchange student who had been interested in Pokémon as a kid but had lost interest at some point. He traded me a whole bunch of exclusive event Pokémon, and one of them happened to be that shiny Arceus. I was the only person I knew who had a legit one all the way up to BDSP where now you can just hunt it lol

[@Jediwhoever1]

I got shining pearl took me a month but was worth it I have been using it in scarlet

[@anasmumin2405]

That's amazing 😱🥶 Must've been a flex

[@kirbboiii]

I wonder traded for in pokemon Y (it has the same ot as the event)

[@stanleyfisher3645]

you can hunt a shiny arceus sure but you can not obtain the dahara city one anymore

[@F1lters]

I think the minccino and trubbish thing is pretty cool, if you’ve ever played Pokepark 2, you can see an interaction between the two where trubbish gets scared of minccino thinking they’ll get cleaned up, but they eventually meet and become friends

[@MimoriAzume]

YES this is exactly what I was thinking of!! I love pokepark 2

[@NavF1]

The Pokepark series was a gem, it was great fun, they should make a 3rd one on Switch/ Switch 2

[@purplegoose971]

I was thinking of that too!

[@decarabiaumbra560]

It actually goes even farther than what Phin mentions. In BW2 route 4 they function as pseudo version exclusives appearing earlier than usual there depending on version. B2 has Trubbish while W2 has Minccino

[@Hydraina]

The way I audibly squealed reading this comment because it was so cute, oh my god

[@tabbender1232]

I have an interesting fact about Arceus So in gen 4 at least, Arceus will change types depending on which plate it is holding even if it doesn't have the Multi-Type ability. For all intents and purposes, Multi-Type's only effect is preventing moves that affect your held item, such as knock off, trick etc, from working. The game is coded to make Arceus change forms depending on its plate regardless of its ability. So then, that means that through glitching or cheating, it's possible to have an Arceus with another ability, but still have it change type depending on its plate. And it's also possible to remove or change its plate in battle while it is transformed. And this is when it gets interesting. In Platinum, the plate gets knocked off, stolen or whatnot, but nothing else happens. Arceus is still in the type of the plate until the end of the battle. Judgement's type will change, but that's it. ...however, in Diamond and Pearl only, something crazy happens. The plate gets knocked off or stolen... and then Arceus transforms, in the middle of the battle. Like Castform would. This is an entirely unused mechanic, with an unused text, that is completely unable to be seen normally. But Arceus can actually change forms in the middle of the battle this way. I think this indicates that Arceus was first supposed to be able to do that, but then they changed it and decided to make it immune to item shenanigans instead. And of course, it was removed in Platinum because it was unused. But it's still there in Diamond and Pearl, for basically no one to ever see.

[@ElliotEel]

I hope he sees this!

[@cecillewolters1995]

Oh wow! Amazing find, I didn’t knew this :O Maybe a silly question, but do you happen to know what the move Curse does if Arceus was either ghost or normal type or switched type?

[@franko1597]

Phin should upload this.

[@tabbender1232]

@@cecillewolters1995 I don't think this was ever tested but i'm assuming its effect changes according to the form Arceus is currently in And yeah i had no idea this was a thing either prior to a few weeks ago when it was accidentally documented by someone from the glitch city laboratories server who forgot he had changed his Arceus' ability, and used it for some testing with a held item related bug.

[@candyghost1009]

Ooh, I hope he sees this and talks about it in the next video!

[@NavF1]

Phin actually finds new stuff in 2023 when we thought that other channels had scraped the bottom of the barrel. Phin and DYKG are carrying YT in terms of new Pokemon facts

[@dramaticScar]

I once said this to another youtuber and some chomp told me I was talking badly of other creators. It was so silly I agree with you

[@cosmicXtropics]

​@@dramaticScarI've learned the hard way that you can't reason with a large portion of the Nintendo/Pokemon community. It sucks bc they aren't even kids, just rabid pea brained fans.

[@pedrosantana245]

Many people already knew about the driftloon and pokemon stadium facts

[@SakhotGamer]

He broke the barrel's bottom and started diggin'

[@CartersRemasters]

@@pedrosantana245yeah, these are all know

[@Moon-Vixen]

the driftloon in the legendary cutscene never surprised me bc I noticed the opening animation uses the actual map. when you first start up the game with no save file on it and watch the opening, you can see items sitting on the unexplored routes, but once you've played them and collected those items, they're gone from the opening cutscene. using the actual maps as they are is apparently just something dppt does, so the driftloon being visible makes perfect sense.

[@anasmumin2405]

Yeahhh

[@CaptainObliviousV]

I remember discovering the Freeze Shock/Ice Burn thing myself as a kid when I randomly did a link battle between my copies of White and Black 2 one day. It surprised me that the moves technically existed in Black/White in the same vein as what we’d later see in Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves in XY

[@anasmumin2405]

Also discovered it myself through hacking a Victini in which knew the moves into my Pokémon Black

[@awsumfaec]

dude you have no idea how many questions ive had about pokemon cries in scar/ vio. when i listen to them in the overworld it felt like certain mons got put in certain groups that gave them specific 'overworld' cries but i could never really figure out how or why they would do that in the first place. insane to know just how in depth that went!

[@Elekeon]

I could be wrong but the same felt true in Legends Arceus. I could hear random cries of Pokemon around me and it felt like some cried more than others.

[@Marchingvenusaur]

Phin is just on an entirely new level of Pokémon facts. Literally on a different plane than the rest of us. I love it

[@frostyclouded]

8:15 you can remove the pokéstar studios animation by getting a bad ending with the same pokémon, so regular shiny sparkles aren't necessarily replaced forever.

[@littlegeek5159]

The meow system is a reminder of the crazy amount of effort and love that went into pokemon scarlet and violet. I just wish the pokemon company bigwigs would understand and feel the same way. They're great games, buried under a painful lack of polish and baffling design decisions.

[@emperortgp2424]

Now if only they spent the time wasted on the "Meow system" to actually focus on more important aspects of polish, like having interiors for shops

[@Kalosianfire]

@@emperortgp2424it would have been different teams with different jobs

[@MmeCShadow]

@@Kalosianfire Now if only people would realize that programming resources are not made equal and one thing being implemented does not inherently mean it was done at the expense of something else.

[@VForceWave]

To be honest, I just see the "meow system" as evidence that the creative types are busy working on distractions rather than making the game functional, playable, or fun. Also, as a consumer and player, find it to be a really convenient excuse that "most animals do not make noises" so we don't hear half the pokemon cry in the overworld. They're fictional creatures, let me hear them. I miss the gen 3 effort where all pokemon on a route had a rare chance of making a cry in the overworld.

[@VForceWave]

​@@MmeCShadowProgramming the meow system was definitely done by a team working with level design integration. And let's not pretend the region is well designed.

[@mxl0ubisous]

Concerning the Mt Couronet fact, it is also possible to see Drifblim AND the honey tree shaking (it happened to me as a kid so I immediatly went there to check)

[@sickeny]

Another fun pokemon pairing that not many people know about is Skatmory and Mantine, both are flying types and have the same stats, but Skarmory has high defence whereas Mantine has the same high stat, but in special defence instead.

[@AbeM.]

These are only really liked by their original status as version exclusive Pokemon; they don’t really coexist or interact in any sort of way, unlike those mentioned in the video.

[@AquaQuokka]

In BDSP, all legendaries (and some mythicals, including Arceus) are shiny _unlocked_ which means that you *CAN* still get a shiny Arceus, but it's full odds only.

[@MaxonerousX]

Well, double odds since it's post-gen 6

[@elneco4654]

About the Catherine track, not only that (by the way, it's a cover made by Shoji Meguro of SMT/Persona fame) but also there was an unused scoreboard graphic with placeholder names. Among those: (Factory Head) Noland, Prof. Birch, Roxanne, Sabrina, (Steven) Stone, Tate (of Tate & Liza), Team Aqua, Team Magma and Team Rocket, all in English names.

[@decarabiaumbra560]

That would explain why us in the cross market of people enjoying pokemon also like SMT. We are all people of culture

[@PadparadschaOrchid]

I love the fact that he added the meow system to the video; it shows that despite how much people complained about Scarlet and Violet, there truly was a lot of love and attention to the small details put into the games.

[@EnderCreeper168]

Scarlet and violet are amazing games hold back by a severe lack of polish. If you would.give them even just 6 months of nothing but bugfuxing and lagbusting they would have easily been some of the best pokemon games there are

[@Ethereally13]

During that fact I was thinking “They put so much work into such interesting little details. It’s too bad they didn’t put that energy toward making a better overall game.”

[@EnderCreeper168]

@@Ethereally13 to be fair, you can't really blame the devs. Gamefreak is a studio of way to few people working on a way to big game, with too little time. They're expected to fully ship these games in just 2-3 years, which is clearly not enough time, and with no possibility of a delay if development hits a snag. Blame the higherups at Gamefreak, or the pokemon company, or Nintendo itself, but you can't reallt blame the devs who most likely haven't made any of these decisions.

[@KillerKeeton]

If I had a choice, I’d rather have better graphics and frame rate over the meow system. Preferably all these things together, but the fact that we got something that doesn’t really do anything gameplay wise and if you keep your volume down, becomes pointless, over better polish, is what people may be upset about.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

@CTHD13 Almost like different people in a company work on different parts of the game or something.

[@KlydeRiolu]

The Trubbish and Minccino thing actually has a fairly big role in the Pokepark 2 game, pretty neat

[@solarcanic]

That meow system in scarvio is so nice, i never noticed! Tho, it does confirm to me that even if the pokemon company rushes games out, the actual devs still put as much love and care in as they can in the timeframe given. I'm sure with more dev time, pokemon games will be amazing still

[@shinycollector7]

That’s so interesting about the first Japanese Pokémon Stadium and the third sparkle effect in B2/W2. I’m always impressed by the things you come up with for videos!

[@jonathanfranco8547]

I actually have three boxed copies of Pokemon Stadium 0 from my last trip to Japan. They go for roughly $11 in Japan but about $100 in the States. Playing it feels like a beta version of Stadium 1, there's no real side modes or anything, just pure battling, and some of the NPCs have weird teams cause they were pulled from real tournament rosters.

[@Jay-sg2ko]

Yeah I have a boxed copy of Stadium 0. I bought it in the UK in like 2018 and paid only £25 (approx $35). I live in the US now and i have no idea how much it would cost to buy over here. The cover art on the box is incredible though!

[@EnderCrome]

An event distribution pokemon that you could have theoretically shiny hunted is really interesting

[@EduCrossHands]

The first fact reminds me of when I trade my Venusaur with "Frenzy Plant" from Fire Red to Colosseum, and in the Gamecube game, the move's name was "Solid Plant"

[@GamingLairDX]

Love that you covered PKMN Stadium 0. I had to cover this for the VGC history of gen1. Crazy format

[@GamingLairDX]

Please cover the region differences for the stadium games released in the US with the addition of Nintendo Cups 97, 98, and 99

[@pandapotato_1593]

The Mincinno, Trubbish connection was cool to hear someone else confirm! I've always linked them because of Mincinno's mission in Poke Park 2 where they make friends with Trubbish. I don't know if the pokepark games have been brought to your attention, however I hear very few people talk about them and would love to learn some interesting facts about them!

[@decarabiaumbra560]

They also connect in BW2. On route 4 you can get 1 earlier than the other depending on the version. Trubbish is a 25% in B2 and Minccino is a 25% W2. They both appear later on, but they work sort of like pseudo exclusives for the early game up through gym 3.

[@The5thGenGuru]

i remember my friend somehow managed to insert a shiny zekrom that had the n sparkle effect into his game and he used to battle me with it, thanks for bringing back some old memories :)

[@bearski]

I was literally just in Akihabara a few weeks ago, and it was positively mesmerizing seeing all the retro games and systems. Great to see you diving deep into the Japanese games like you’ve done before! Real keen investigative skills on this one, Phin (:

[@BlueBoyPhin]

We might’ve been there at the same time! I was there a few weeks ago too! I may have been stocking up on Japanese games to dig through and look for old event distributions for a future videoooo!

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

I'm surprised that I knew about 2 of these: specifically I needed a reminder about memory link/N's Pokemon having an animation but of all things Pokemon Stadium 0 was something I remember. Feels like it and Pokemon TCG GBC 2 are both parts of big nostalgic points in their series but are often forgotten about especially in the west where they never got released. Really hope they translate the sequel and put it on NSO

[@cranapple3367]

There's a fan translation of the second TCG game boy game. It's pretty fun!

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

@@cranapple3367 yup. Although I wish it was on NSO, that'd be extremely awesome

[@Sly88Frye]

Wow! That Trubbish and Mincino fact actually is extremely fascinating and unexpected. What a great attention to detail

[@conza1989]

Feel free to use this one (may be known or not). Did you know, in the Gen 1 Pokemon games, if you have a full bag and speak to the Cut master, when he goes to give you the HM01 and you get the message, he will instantly become sick again when you next go to talk to him, even if you throw away an item and have room when you speak to him again, meaning you'll have to rub his back and make him feel well again, before he'll give you HM01.

[@fireworkspinner]

There is a little nod to trubbish and minccino in the spinoff game pokepark 2: wonders beyond, where to befriend both pokemon, minccino asks you to chase trubbish so they can give trubbish back a piece of trash they dropped, trubish was scared they were gonna be cleaned, but was pleasantly surprised

Freeze shock/burn being in BW makes me wonder if you could call them by using metronome in those games.

[@MaxonerousX]

Freeze shock and ice burn are locked out of metronome *now*, though I couldn't find if they were in gen 5. I'm not sure what *now* is since I'm pretty sure that Freeze shock and ice burn are not in gen 8 or 9

[@HellPhone]

Thanks! Long time ago I had friends playing pokemon all over the world.. a japanese friend gave me that arceus because he said he was going to college and quitting pokemon, I never saw a legit shiny arceus I thought it was hacked but right now its sitting on Pokemon Home just fine after this many years. I never asked him how he got it and now I know.

[@connorjl7]

Beautifully put together video as always Phin! Always have me coming back for every video!

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

It's also worth noting that, in the Japanese Pokemon Stadium 1 (or Pokemon Stadium 0), you're able to obtain a Pikachu that knows Surf (especially important since transferring it to Yellow is the only way to play the surfing mini-game). The Surf Pikachu was added to the international Pokemon Stadium 1. However, in Japan, their Pokemon Stadium 2 didn't get Surf Pikachu, leaving it exclusive to Stadium 1. So even though Japan's Stadium 2 (and thus the international Stadium 1) seems like a straight-up superior version of Japan's Stadium 1 in every single way, Stadium 1 still has at least one thing exclusive to it (or you can just hack, of course).

[@immortallegacy100]

Random ORAS fact, but there's an invisible Kecleon in he Mossdeep Space Center, hiding in the space suit. That's the only fact I've got off the top of my head. Another little known Pokémon connection made in the series is between Dragonite and Kingdra, who are archenemies, possibly because Kingra are naturally violent and enjoy causing ships to sink while Dragonite are peaceful and regularly rescue sailors. It could also be theorized that Kingra are the cause of the Whirl Islands' namesake and whirlpools in general due to their ability to create them.

[@kking1173]

Also Dragonite and Kingdra are the signature pokemon of Lance and Clair respectively.

[@immortallegacy100]

@@kking1173 Yep, meant to mention that as well. They refer to one another as cousins, but they were raised together and consider each other brother and sister, so it's an interesting wrinkle.

[@zedtass4923]

There's also a reference to their connection in pokepark 2! Iirc, Trubbish was avoiding Minccino, because he was scared that Mincinno would want to clean him, and you had to play tag with Trubbish and then Minccino would explain to him that she liked things to be clean, but also respected the boundaries of Trubbish and would never try to clean him without permission.

You missed that the original Pokemon Stadium was specifically developed for tournament play, which is why its roster and capabilities were so limited. The Pokemon roster was specifically chosen to reflect the competitive scene at the time.

Hey, I found a minute dialogue box that I haven't seen be talked about. In Pokemon Emerald (probably R&S, too), if you have a hacked amount of greatballs when the Devoncorp worker tries to give you them in the beginning of the game he says "You're loaded with items. You can't take this greatball"

[@renegade7032]

I managed to get the Japanese Shiny Arceus legitimately from a friend. A six of my friends went to Japan for a holiday, coincidentally around the time of the movie, they decided to go see it and one of them got the shiny. Few years later the one who got the Arceus had traded it to me after losing interest in the games.

[@Fig_Bender]

Please Phin, my brain is so full of random pokemon facts now that it might explode soon...

The minccino part also makes sense since they are semi version exclusives in BW2, where you get one of them far ealier than the other depending on version

[@philthestampede]

42? I thought there were only 40 usable Pokemon in the original Japanese Stadium. Anyone have more info on this? It appears Serebii says there are 42, with no list, but Bulbapedia says there are 40, and has a list. Anyone want to test this?

Funny thing, if you did a lot of wonder trading during the peak of XY and ORAS, it wasn't that uncommon to get shinies and hacked pokemon as well, pretty sure me and my friend still have shiny arceuses in our games(not sure if it's legit though), good times.

[@cecillewolters1995]

Speaking of Pokémon Stadium, I have a little theory; I believe Pokémon were designed to have multiple colors, because in the Stadium games you could give your Pokémon a different color based on the nickname. These games were the first to give Pokémon their full color and were created before shiny Pokémon even existed. If you look at the Kanto starters you can see that the middle evolutions also have different colors, with the last evolution sharing their color palette with the first in line. This is al just speculation tho, I have no idea of it ever came up in an interview, but I like it nonetheless and wish this was done in more games

[@BoziOnline]

That shiny arceus was cloned to hell and back after it came out. I remember getting them in wonder trades all the time. Pretty sure I still have some.

[@ClaraFinn]

one weird Gen 1 oddity I learned recently is that in Gen 1, Pokemon can't learn 2 moves during 1 level-up unless they levelled up in the daycare. Since Vaporeon was for whatever programmed to learn both Haze and Mist at level 42 in Yellow, that means it can only learn Mist if you level it up in the daycare - if you get it to 42 normally, it will only try and learn Haze. And weirdly, Vaporeon has never been able to learn Mist since.

10:28 oh my god, stuff like this shows that there was clearly so much creativity and passion in the team that made Scarlet and Violet, it’s so unfortunate that the release schedule of new Pokémon gens forced them to rush out a game that wasn’t properly polished. If SV had been given more time and resources to be properly polished I think it could genuinely have been a masterpiece.

So they went that deep with the meow system but couldn't make the games function.

I think that catherine music is actually used in game, but you wont run into it unless you're going for a 100% run, its one of the soundtracks on the arcade machine you can play

Always love to learn something new about Pokémon but I also always get left with a huge feeling of nostalgia sadness

4:14 That music playing is from Bust a Move 2. It's Shorty's stage music.

I actually own a 2015 event shiny Arceus in SV. Really happy it’s talked about!
