this is not an hour of facts, i demand 25 more seconds of information

[@patrickharrison7839]

It’s close to an hour, so it counts.

[@bigsalmon7973]

"it's no longer impressive seeing Pkmn in 3d" well yes, but unlike the main series games stadium/battle revolution actually had battle animations.

[@calebb7012]

This is why Gamefreak just isn't a good developer. They excelled in the 90s when everything was sprite based because of their artwork. They failed to adapt.

[@bigsalmon7973]

@@calebb7012 yeah I really wished that'd give the games off to another dev team at Nintendo/that work with Nintendo. Like the new Pkmn snap games have so many Pkmn personalities and amazing animations, not to mention the world looks incredible (especially compared to gloomy galar). GF, really has been on the decline and it really sucks cause Pkmn is one of my favorite series

[@PandaHutton]

Imagine how silly you’d have to feel to have thought Pokémon was “just a fad” lmao. I watched it and enjoyed it as a young child, and now my children watch and enjoy it. I don’t think Pokémon is dying out any time soon!

[@blowc1612]

There was a huge dip in the mid 00s, a lot of its first fans were in HS at that point and had moved on, it took for a new audience to keep it going and now it is run on nostalgia, and new audience. I even gave away a great classic collection of my cards to my friend’s little sister. I had multiple Charizards, 1st editions, promo and misprints of both American and Japanese cards.

[@elitepippopaperino8625]

it's the most profitable franchise in the world, safe to say it's not going anywhere

[@mariotheheroicplumber1985]

If Pokemon is a fad, it's one that will go on until the end of time. I've stuck with Pokemon since my first save file of Pokemon Red and my first episode of the anime (which was also the first one) and I will stick with it forever

[@blowc1612]

Elite Pippo Paperino still doesn’t change the fact it took a huge dip in mid 00s. I would say 2003-2007 at least, a lot of it’s audience lost interest.

[@blowc1612]

Edward Grieves were you playing in HS and college?

[@astridposey]

In Gold, I came across a shiny Rattata on my way to Mr. Pokemon, before you can catch it. So it's been all the way back since their introduction. It remains the only random shiny I've ever encountered.

[@kingp260]

THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME WHAT THE HELL??? SHINY RATTATA BEFORE MR POKEMON, GOLD VERSION, EVERYTHING

[@astridposey]

@@kingp260 it was so frustrating. My first shiny and I couldn't even catch it.

[@latencyisbad2654]

SAME but in fire red. Shiny rattata between pallet town and viridian city

[@LilBouzy]

I’ve had five random encounters : A Rattata in FireRed and a Wurmple in Emerald, but same circumstances (before Pokéballs, nothing can be done) A Blitzle in White (first day I got the game, too) A Dwebble in X And just last night a Psyduck in Scarlet

[@Billie-zx5vf]

I remember my first play through on Pokemon Gold I was like 9 years old lol I had all 16 badges was in Mt Silver trying to find where Red is and… A Shiny Golbat appeared, I had no Pokeballs left from catching all the Larvitars etc 🙃

[@silversonic1]

The truth is that Game Freak has created a need for a Stadium-style game. With no current games able to use all of the Pokemon or moves of the franchise, a Stadium title seems entirely necessary now.

[@vap1777]

I agree

[@ironchariotrider7474]

Yeah it seems like an easy cash grab that requires zero effort so you would think game freak would be all about further spitting in the faces of fans!

It's funny that he keeps saying that the spinoff series would need to innovate to justify new installments when the main series games have repeated the same formula for over twenty years.

[@steel5897]

@@jimmyzeke13 He honestly says the dumbest shit. Back in 2014 he said the reason they didn't include post-game content in the Ruby/Sapphire remakes is because "kids these days spend more time on smartphone games, so they don't have much time to dedicate to a single game". Just imagine designing your game around people playing other games instead. Your average developer would be fired for even saying this.

[@blck4333]

@@steel5897 Wait, there was supposed to be post game stuff??? I beat that game thinking that was all there was, but now im sad lol. Is the post game stuff in the original Ruby and Sapphire? He is dumb as shit, I swear.

on the berry glitch, there was actually another option, which is what I did. we took my copies to a local game stop where, like the event pokemon of the time, you'd give it to the person behind the counter who would connect your game to a cartridge they had that would give the update and the shiny.

Hey! Virbank city is directly based on Burbank California! It’s a film studio city, it has a massive river in the middle of the city, the gym leader is a rock and roll star(Hollywood is 5 minutes drive) and is a poison type(LA smog). This is my favorite city in Unova and I wish it got more recognition!

[@Ant0nKnee]

"If you have a Dragon/water type, you'd have no weaknesses" *Dragon-type looking at itself in the mirror* - "Am I a joke to you?!" Fairy types - "Yes, yes you are..."

[@spugnoxngubcux9801]

The Water type cancels out Dragon's weakness to Ice, meaning they would (in theory) only be weak to Dragon-type moves. However, back in Gen 1, the only Dragon-type move in the game that dealt damage was Dragon Rage, which always dealt a fixed 40 damage.

I love it, pokemon is so mysterious they just captivated my young mind with all the hidden lore and rare events. I am so nostalgic for those times, pokenon fire red was my first game and boy oh man I did absolutely everything you could do in that game at least 5 times

[@Level1Sword]

The first time I realized the Pokémon company had lots of freedom apart from Nintendo was the release of Pokémon Go. I had just assumed they only developed for Nintendo until then.

[@stonefacecollin]

Level 1 Sword but pokemon go isn’t developed by The Pokemon Company

[@Level1Sword]

@@stonefacecollin True, but the Pokémon company can basically do whatever they want independently from Nintendo, and they have. Nintendo has no say over what they put Pokémon into.

[@safehouse432]

@Dad_Shoes so to add on they kind of do have majority control of the pokemon company because of creatures inc's involvement with nintendo and that a fair amount of that company is owned by Nintendo. So through creatures inc Nintendo has a little more leeway in control of the company than gamefreak on their own. Sadly when that pokemon go money began flowing the pokemon company started chasing a second pokemon mobile wave that they own more or all of.

[@nunyabinnis6417]

Fun game: count how many different ways they pronounce "masuda" across this video 😂

[@originalkhawk]

even if 1996 was the planned release date, being released in febuary means it would have been near completed in 1995, so it wouldn't be too weird to see trademarks and copyrights filed in 1995

[@tsb4]

I love these hour long fact videos cause I can listen to them while I "work"

[@andycress]

Pokémon Blue was the first game I ever had that was all my own. I didn't even have a GameBoy when I got it and initially played using the Super Game Boy on the family's Super Nintendo. I eventually saved up enough for a sweet lime green GameBoy Color and matching worm light to be able to play at night on the top bunk.

Here’s a Pokémon fact for you: Lapras is based on not just the Loch Ness Monster, but also its Canadian counterpart. The Ogopogo is a monster said to reside in Okanagan Lake and stories about the Ogopogo can be found all across Canada. Also, people actually swim in Okanagan Lake and no one has encountered the beast!

[@CamBoss64]

So in PL:A, after finishing the Unown Dex (Getting all Unown) you can get more unown in the Solaceon Ruins. Also, I believe there is a small chance (5% or something idk) that all the unown in the Solaceon ruins will spell 'Unown'. Please Look into this!!!

[@hag2615]

26:22 In Japanese version, Hitmonlee is Sawamurah named after a famous Japanese kick boxer Tadashi Sawamura, and Hitmonchan is Ebiwarah named after also a famous boxer Hiroyuki Ebiwara. It's interesting to see how they kept the original theme of names when they translated.

Watching this video, you definitely get the feeling that this franchise has always been buggy and plagued with technical issues. It just really fucking came to a head with Sword and Shield.

This sentiment holds true now that BDSP is out. What a MESS.

[@suwakoss]

bdsp isnt the fault of game freak tho its made by ilica

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

Gen 1 Pokémon is infinitely more bug ridden than sword, it just comes from an era when no one actually knew how to make a proper video game so it gets a pass.

Unova is not just New York, it’s the United States in general, just compressed as much as possible and centered around a real city like most regions. It has the Midwest desert and it’s construction projects(the Hoover dam), Virbank(Burbank California, the cartoon capital of America), and many other specific regional cities. Unova is America, dead stop.

[@l33g3ndar33]

I remember that all my friends and acquaintances were pretty psyched about Pokemon Stadium when it first released. We all wanted to buy it on release but there were worries about not having enough copies in my town bc it's small. We only had a single Walmart and that was it as far as who sold it in town. I ended up being able to get a copy before they ran out tho luckily. I was 14 at the time and the Pokemon craze was in full throttle during the late 90s/early 00s. I remember loving that you could play your GB game on the N64 and it had a turbo speed function that was super clutch for grinding levels. Those were the days! 😎🤣
