Holy hell. I always wondered why it was so tough for me to get through to Snowpoint for the first time but never again. I have very vivid memories of the snowstorm. It took me what felt like hours to get through it. I have never seen anyone else experience it and in more recent playthroughs I wondered if I simply misremembered a different area in the game. Honestly, the fact I found Rockclimb in that first playthrough was a damn miracle. I don't think I looked it up... I was just aimlessly meandering through the snow and half the screen was basically whited out. (Someone should tell MarioKart developers that if you really want to obscure a screen, the inkblots have nothing on the snowstorms from DP.)

[@senny-]

I think I've experienced it, too. It's one of my most memorable moments in Platinum. I really felt like a traveller lost in a snowstorm.

[@sierranicholes6712]

i had it too!!! when i came back to the game and it was normal snow i was wondering if i was misremembering or something lol

[@theguntersadopt3268]

I wrote a pokemon story and because of this particular moment, I included it in my story

[@ho-oh-oh-oh]

I just replayed platinum last year and when I encountered the heavy snowstorm, I thought I had misremembered that route entirely because on my first playthrough as a kid I got the light snow!

[@arkydaarcticfox9497]

Wait I remember now! It took me ages to find anything in that storm! Must've been one of my first playthroughs

[@tails183]

I was obsessed with berry farming in Pearl. I think you could close the DS and it would freeze the game itself, which would then update and play the sparkle animation when opened again.

Same, I was playing Soul Silver though and saw the sparkle animation.

[@thenachowithchi7113]

I remember playing emerald on a save where I had a gold trainer card, feeling like I accomplished everything, walking out of my secret base with a beautiful waterfront, chosen specifically for the loamy soil right in front of this pond next to my base where I had planted some of my best berries, and seeing them sparkle right in front of my eyes, growing into their final stage... I thought I had seen it all. ✨️

[@yokoelfvganime8112]

These unique weather effects remind me of how originally the Pokémon games would be unique based on the OT number. They couldn't do that, but they did via probabilities, hence each person will have a unique experience with random events like shinies and roaming Pokémon. I imagine a friend telling me that it didn't rain on Route 212 when he played, I wouldn't believe it. These unique experiences makes the whole immersion on these games special.

Musician and long time fan of your channel here. In Gen II, it's not a pitch change in the day and night themes...it's actually a different sound sample being used. It's similar to playing the same song twice on a keyboard, first with an organ sound, then the second time with a strings sound. The pitch is not really altered; it's just the timbre. Thank you for making these videos! I always look forward to learning new obscure Pokemon facts from you!

[@cyncynshop]

What? Thats so cool! Thanks for posting this.

[@OldMateBlue]

So strange. I definitely remembered the sound change, because I would hear the song again with a different vibe, like I'd heard the song again for the very first time but it wasn't. Explains why I would notice it though.

[@Alexander_Grant]

It's strange to me that people can't hear that it's just different sounds and not pitch, but I've been a musician for 25 years. Nearly all of my friends are or were musicians in the past too, so it's strange when I hear non-musicians try to describe things like this. I had to scroll down to check if anyone else corrected it.

[@Celia_Dawn]

I saw the berry growing thing in my own game once! It was in Diamond version when I was really young - I just happened to see it happen in the corner of my screen while I was backtracking through a route for some reason. I had no clue what was happening and thought it had something to do with one of those so-called "Shiny Pokemon" (which I'd never found at that point in my life)

[@nocsha4119]

Similar here!

[@alexman1407]

Similar here, except it was in Platinum. I just turned off my DSi by just closing it, then opened it back up with my game on, and saw that sparkly boi animation. Neat small detail I never knew.

[@PinkSneaselGirl]

@@alexman1407 That was a good way to 'force' the animation. If the game was paused like that by closing the screen and you opened it after the bery should have grown, then it recognized time has passed and update the berry plant to the stage it should be on.

[@MasterZebulin]

"You'll never catch me alive!"

[@OlyChickenGuy]

I'm so glad you covered the shimmering berries, because I was playing Emerald a couple months ago, and though I pretty much never use berries, I'm still obsessed with farming them at the Berry Master's house. I turned on my hand one day, made my way to the Berry Master's house, and literally right as I was walking into the berry patch, they all shimmered and switched over to their next stage of maturity. I would have had no idea this was a thing if I didn't witness it, myself. Pretty cool.

[@M_Alexander]

In Gen 7, some of the cutscenes in the intro sections change if you evolve your starter. It will actually change their positioning and the camera angle depending on what stage they're at

[@enoyna1001]

Another audio detail I've noticed while replaying SoulSilver. Being close to water (a few tiles), you'll notably HEAR it and the music audio will be quiter. I didn't notice it in the other Sinnoh games on the DS but I might be mistaken.

[@blsm-burminilaicalseparati6214]

Yes, that detail is only included in HG/SS but not in any other gen 4 game.

[@RyuuSix]

I discovered this some days ago. I was at the National Park and the music was quieter when I was next to the fountain.

[@tabbender1232]

The door tile not giving encounters is actually a huge deal in DP (and BDSP) specifically because it prevents you from getting a Gible before getting Strength by using sweet scent or honey, since there are Strength boulders preventing you from moving around in the secret part of Wayward Cave, which is the only location Gible spawns in in DP. Which honestly is kind of a missed opportunity. There's a required quest before you get there that involves honey. It would have been so cool if you could actually use honey to get encounters there and get an early Gible. Pokemon games up to DP always did a great job at kind of hiding pseudo legendaries, making them rewards for exploration. Gible rewards you for finding that hidden cave, but it would have been even better if you could get it earlier by using a trick involving an item that was already introduced to you. Platinum removed these boulders, letting you get a Gible early without having to use honey or sweet scent anyway. However it also put Gabites on Victory Road which was... bad. And then gen 5 onwards kept doing this, putting the pseudo legendaries in plain sight, in required areas. Using them as rewards for exploration was way better tbh. One of the very few things Platinum did wrong

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

Actually, you can't get a Gible in that entrance part anyway, it's considered to be part of the same floor of Wayward Cave that's the obnoxious maze. Gible is only found downstairs, in B1F.

[@Robbie_Haruna]

I mean Gen 2 also put Larvitar in Mt. Silver which is functionally the equivalent of the Victory Road in Gen 4 (the last dungeon before the final boss, since the Elite Four isn't the end of the game in Gen 2.) Larvitar/Pupitar and Gabite's placements were problematic, but not because they were "in mandatory areas," but rather putting them so late in the game that there's basically nothing to use them on by the time you get them. The psuedos that appear in mandatory areas are also consistently placed there either with a low encounter rate in like one or two specific rooms (Deino, Zweilous,) or placed with an extremely low encounter rate across a whole dungeon (Larvitar, Pupitar, Gabite.) Though HGSS did fix Larvitar to some capacity by making it a Safari Zone mon. Gen 6 and 7 stuck Goodra and Jangmo-o in mid to late routes (again with very low encounter rates,) which is quite frankly the best approach they've had since Dratini in Kanto (which was always obtainable at midgame (if you wanted to use the Game Corner,) or mid-late if you preferred to wait for the Super Rod and use the Safari Zone,) leaving you with time to actually use these three before the tail end of the game (looking passed the fact that Dragonite was terrible in gen 1 obviously.)

[@johanevans9142]

Gen IV was the first time I'd played a Pokemon game. I remember vividly the days when the swampy route near Pastoria city would suddenly have thunder and lightning, when the trek up to Snowpoint would become a blizzard, or when everything would start to sparkle as the quiet snow fell. These slight changes managed to really flare up my imagination and make the world feel like it was changing around me. It makes me very nostalgic to see these things again.

Another really nice detail I liked in pokemon stadium 2 is that when you try to play the minigames with a GSC save while having any of thr mini game Pokemon in your box or party, they will actually use your own pokemon, with nickname, alternate color/shiny and all during those minigames

[@bmalloy0]

Learning actually obscure stuff from Pokémon at this day and age feels so refreshing. I love little details like these, like it's the developers reaching out and saying "look, we are here, we made this".

[@yanderbae6706]

I saw the berry thing pretty recently actually. I wanted to get a Lopunny with Return via level up, which is incredibly hard to do with a freshly caught Buneary at the start of the game. So I farmed friendship berries until I had enough to get it. It felt good to do that playthrough with that Lopunny, but I also just kinda sat next to berries and kept a timer for a few minutes before they grow so I saw it in my DPPt game

[@maginator4877]

For that last fact, I knew about this! You can easily see it in game If you put your ds in sleep mode next to a growing berry. Btw fun fact, as early as gen 1 you could hear overworld cries of wild Pokémon in whatever area you’re in as little ambiance.

[@franko1597]

O thoight that was implemented simce gen 3, not before.

[@colmkelly72]

In my platinum play through I got really into contests, so I'd turn my game in around everytime they would have grown using bulbapedia, and I did remember seeing the sparkle effect. Odd but cool detail

[@Manpag]

I always noticed the Gen II day/night battle music change, and honestly I was sad it wasn’t implemented in HGSS. They also never did it in SM, which was another missed opportunity with towns having distinct day/night music differences in those games.

[@nickvang7]

Wow, I remember one day playing a Gen 4 game and the snow routes were suddenly a lot harder than I was expecting. This video explains it! There was a blizzard going on that day

[@trumpeterjen]

I've seen the berry and apricorn growth animations plenty of times. I didn't do anything special, I just grew a lot of berries and played a ton. I even did the fancy berry cross-breeding in X & Y. I bet lots of people have never even heard of that.

[@valivali8104]

[@edwardnygma8533]

@@valivali8104 Gotcha, but is it otherwise a regular berry? And are the combinations specific, or are the results random?

[@MrSexican12]

9:30 the reason this happens is because the game still checks for thunder's accuracy when it's raining. When the move misses in rain, the game forces it to always hit instead. This "forced hit" even trumps protect in D&P which is why Thunder hits through protect only 30% of the time because thats the miss rate of the move.

[@charzinc3492]

Great video, you can tell phin actually spent time finding hidden details nobody has talked about before. This really made me appreciate all the work put into making these games. It was also nice to know new things about my childhood games

[@edsylan2275]

10:35 this is a common missunderstanding of gholdengo's ability. A "status move" is every single move in the game that is neither physical or special, in other words, every move that doesn't do damage is a status move. That's why good as gold blocks so many moves.

[@AtomBacon]

The gen 2 day/night battle theme one blew my mind. Crystal was my first game, I've played it double digit times and even did a full Let's Play and never noticed that.

[@AmbertheLunarWolf]

The weather patterns I remember seeing in my games. Well, minus the diamond dust since I never travelled back to Snowpoint often, but the others I do remember. Also, I thought that the book disappearing at the end when you finish the game was a neat detail. After all, the professor does take the book with them to the past/future so it makes sense that it would also disappear from the start screen in the end.

[@michaelcarlton1484]

As someone who spent entire days in Silver, I absolutely noticed the difference in day and night battle music.

[@RadiantSharaShaymin]

10:07 The Good as Gold Ability, which protects from Status moves, makes it that Ditto can't use Transform on the user (Just for people curious about the thumbnail)

[@HeroChao132]

More specifically, it protects against moves that aren't considered Physical or Special, instead protecting against any moves in the "Status" category that targets anything other than the user. (Nasty Plot works on Gholdengo, but Helping Hand doesn't.)

[@AVGB.Karma_Bitches]

That growth stage animation is a really cool detail. Kudos to those who discovered it. I wouldn't of had the patience for it, 😆

[@olivergro7105]

The pokemon cry sound in gen 4 reminded me of another gen 4 details where you have different sounds depending on the effectiveness when you get hit. The interesting part is when you get hit 4x effective, as the text says "it's super effective" like it does when it's 2x but it will play a slightly more hollow sound. Maybe I'm completely wrong about this, i only remember this from my kid memories. But I'm pretty damn sure!

[@zTribalX]

Thank you so much for that. I remember saying that the battle theme in Gen 2 sometimes changed ( I didn't think about day and night back then ) And my friends always told me im just imagining things. Had to send this video to them just to prove my point about something from over 20 years ago.

And I realized that it was not raining, when it ALWAYS did. I never thought much of it until now.

My first playthrough of Pokemon Diamond I got the blizzard when goin' through the snow area, but when I went back later it was significantly more chill (Or less chill? Blizzards are pretty cold after all), so I encountered this, but wasn't quite sure what the cause was. In Pokemon Emerald I used to play on an Emulator a lot, so I would use the speed-up, and I know at one point I just held it down because I wanted to mass produce leppa berries fer one of my runs and was surprised they added a growth animation, I was honestly expectin' to have to go to a different area off-screen for it to update the sprite.

2:12 the feature where the pokemon's cry pitches down slightly upon getting affected by status conditions was present in the games since Emerald (Gen 3), but it was not present in Ruby and Sapphire. I don't remember whether this Pokemon cry feature was present in FR/LG or not, though. The thunder-rain effects and the berry plant/apricorn growth glitter effect are quite intriguing!

[@JediMage]

In gen 2 games there is autosave at some points of the game, which I know because I had it in German with 0 German knowledge, and beat it with overleveled af pidgeot. I think entire Pokémon league gets autosaved after each trainer battle (or at least after you lose), because that's where I grinded my pidgeot for days before I was able to beat it)

I’ll have to make a note to wait by a harvested apricorn tree just before midnight when I play HGSS next time! I’m a little surprised that the tone change in Pokémon cries when they faint or have a status condition was included here, I always noticed that, but I could be wrong in thinking that it was an obvious detail. The ‘dead’ evolving Pokémon detail was pretty funny though. 😆

I was totally addicted to berry farming in Diamond version, so I had actually seen the sparkling transition before. Several of the special weather conditions too, like the big storm in the marshy area, blizzard in the snowy area, and raining by the beach area. I would go battle trainers at the restaurant at the beach every day, so I went there a lot. I forget if I ever noticed it get cloudy there though.

[@festeringheap]

2:33 The pitches of the day and night versions of the battle theme are actually the same, but the waveforms for each part are different. It's like how there's different instrumentation for the day and night versions of songs in DPPt/BDSP, just more low-tech with the GBC sound chip. Day in GSC uses harmonically spikier 12.5% and/or 25% square waves, and night sounds smoother with 50% square waves.

I saw the berry growth animation once as a kid and it legit scared me because I guess I thought my game was glitched for a moment.

I'm amazed how clearly I remember that

[@EnsignEpic]

I knew about the berry animations from way back in middle school. Younger me had just gotten back into Pokemon with Platinum. I had beaten the game but wanted my in-game team properly EV trained for after-school battles, which wound up turning into days/weeks of watering berries in the bathroom before lunch. More than a few times I had to wait & so I did wind up seeing the transition animations fairly often. Wouldn't be overly surprised if there's a lot of folks aware of these animations for similar reasons.

[@claytonkennedy44]

I remember many of those weather patterns in Gen 4 when I would play almost daily way back in the day. I just thought some were a weird glitch, like the cloudy skies over that resort area (you covered it and I cant remember now) and the no rain on the marshes. I did encounter the heavy blizzard on my first playthrough and I hated that route even more. As for the berry tree shine, I remember seeing it in Gen 3 (again way back in the day) as I was approaching that berry field near Mt Pyre. I though that was an awesome detail. I had forgotten about it till I saw this video.

[@david-doom]

[@aurafox1]

The berry growing animation is actually quite common if you're knowledgeable about berry farming and stay on top of it. I'll usually plant a bunch of berries and take note of what time I should check back up on them to water again or pick the berries. Pretty regularly, you'll see the berries growing while you make your regularly scheduled berry runs.

[@atumless9696]

You need more clout man. If more pokemon fans knew about this channel, they’d be just as enamored as me and everyone else here. This is the best pokemon easter egg/secret channel around by far

I used to be a very dedicated Berry Gardener when I played DPPt back in the day! So I do remember actually getting ahead of time on the morning to check my berry trees and see then grow in real time! Probably got to see it more than two times, less than five, but I didn't know it was so rare!

The berry one tripped me up, I KNEW I saw something while planting a new berry. It might have been razz and I was next to a lum berry since lum grows very slowly. I only saw it once and my 13 year old self wasn't patient enough or good enough with time management to try and see it again. I'm glad I'm not crazy and it's indeed a thi g.

In bdsp, you can see both of hoothoots legs when he uses growl and when you enter battle. Maybe other moves too. Not sure how exciting that one is, but I remember seeing him in gold and silver for the first time as a kid, and reading the description of how fast it moves it’s legs. Brings back good memories!

pretty sure that's been a thing since the beginning of 3d. it's neat, though!

vids are so cool! keep it up!!

[@propernoun2028]

Just noticed this today, In PLA, if you let your Scizor out of its balla nd stand next to it, you can hear a buzzing wing sound. If anybody has heard these sound effects from other mons, let us know!

These videos always amaze me with how much detail is in Pokémon games lol, I love finding those little details

[@jadethest0ne]

These are so cool! I knew about the berries! I accidentally came across it once while I was waiting for them to grow

[@safiradd]

i have vivid memories of the no rain day at route 212 thinking it was odd, or a glitch. Didnt know it was actually coded to be a cloudy day. But the snowstorm, i felt like it was like that every time i went to snowpoint

[@ljafrain]

Love these vids, but seriously dude you need to make a playlist of your background music, the vibe is immaculate

[@redrum239]

Yeah! I'm pretty sure one of them is from xtremeG/maybe 2 from the N64.

[@edenanimates1465]

Never stop doing this series

[@LuckySparkles]

Interesting video! I already knew about the berry sparkling thing since many years ago. I also already knew about the thunderstorm weather on Route 212 and the cloudy/rainy weather on route 213. I already knew about the diamond dust weather at Snowpoint City, but was not aware of the varied snowy weather on the snowy routes to the south of Snowpoint City.

I actually did witness the berry stage transformation ONCE. It was on emerald and I thought it was cool but had no idea it existed in other games

[@Heartache2491]

The berry thing was something I never knew! Really, all of your fact videos always teach me something, it's why I keep coming back :) Thank you for all you do!
