[@Shadria1996]

minor correction- Pokemon G/S was not the planned final game. that came from a misunderstood translated talk a few years back. the person being interviewed worked with Pokemon on their ad/promotion work in Japan and was thinking Pokemon wouldn't be a big thing and thusly their contract would be final with G/S. there was 0 talk about G/S being the final Pokemon games, in fact, Pokemon devs said they had many more ideas for future games and products during G/S!

[@Shadria1996]

Also I think Pokeblocks from Hoenn/Gen 3 should have been mentioned! R/S/E tried to make Pokeblocks pretty neat and useful in the Pokemon Safari and with the Contests. Poffins are also similar to Pokeblocks but lack certain effects, and so on with the feed-able food in other games. ..Pokemon Safari might have been a neat thing to add in too, a spot you could catch rare pokemon exclusive to the area and not by the normal standards of a battle. G/S/C lacked one, R/S/E had one, ect.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good info!! 👍

[@mavis4299]

Agreed I seen this info as well

[@ejokurirulezz]

correction : you are wrong since they only continued to gen 3 only because the franchise did well in the west. The only mistaken translation is that gen 1 took 6 years while it took 6 months only and everyone was making fun of him releasing it by the end of gb classic while gb color was about to be released soon.

[@DigiTism]

@@ejokurirulezzthis is the correct information.

[@ToasterwithToast.]

“Adios to Kalos, and aloha to Alola.” That was smooth.

Gen 6 also had the change of shiny odds going from 1/8192 to 1/4096

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good call!! I definitely meant to include updates to how shinies worked throughout, but it somehow got away from me 🥲 Thanks for watching and the support, appreciate you!! 👍😁

[@ejokurirulezz]

shinies are irrelevant. ugly rubbish. no human cares

[@super_pro1000alt]

​@@JoeyParksHereyooooo make a video about everything that has changed between the fifa games for april fools

[@Leron...]

You missed one of the best quality of life changes! In gen 3 you could just press the A button when facing a boulder, tree, or water and you'll be prompted on whether you want to use Strength, Cut, or Surf. No more having to pause the game go into the pokemon menu, select the right pokemon and select the HM it just automatically recognized which HM could be used in the space you were facing.

[@ReallyPhilly215]

That was such a life saver being added these kids will never know even HMs being very hidden in gen 1

[@JoeyParksHere]

True, that is a great change!! Thanks for watching!

[@quintonsellars6462]

Gen 2 actually added that!

[@Leron...]

@@quintonsellars6462 and here I was still using the pause menu out of habit in gen 2!

[@keithflippers4429]

Gen 3 also adds 10 spaces in boxes and you can catch pokemon without the need to switch the box when full

[@Nikowgreek]

Gen 3 also added running shoes

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good call!

[@jonskillings1258]

And Gen 4 letting you run inside was missed

[@ejokurirulezz]

And natures, since only abilities got mentioned.

I remember how much of a trip it was to “beat” Silver Version only to learn that I’d now be transported to Kanto for another few weeks/months of original gameplay

[@JoeyParksHere]

Right?? Was so dope. Thanks for watching!! 😁

[@riptide6459]

Kalos was actually the game to introduce rideable Pokémon with the Skiddo farm, Ryhorn walking over pointy rocks, and the mamoswine to get through the snow

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good call! Thanks for watching!

[@Compucles]

That's technically true, but that was only for very specific areas rather than acting as a replacement for HMs like they became starting in Gen 7 (except for Let's Go). Still, he really could've worded that part better in multiple ways.

[@gameboyn64]

Something probably worth adding is the changes to the exp formula. The formula in gen 5 was altered to scale based level differences with the opponent and user pokemon. This mean it is easier to catch up lower level pokemon and harder to power level one pokemon. Gen 6 went back to the gen 1-4 formula only with a few methods to boost gains. Every generation since gen 6 has a new scaled exp formula that is basically the gen 5 formula only for the first time trainer pokemon no longer give 50% more exp.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good information!! Thanks for the correction and for watching 😁 appreciate the support!

[@PeacockBeafall]

Not to be that guy, but you forgot the most important change in gen 2... they added exp bars

[@JoeyParksHere]

AHH how’d I miss that haha!! Thanks for the addition! And for watching, appreciate you! 😁

[@jantoxen]

This was such a awsome add :F

[@ninjaguyYT]

​@@jantoxennot always. If you used a level up hack, it was cancer. That is, something like "gain 1500 experience for defeating any pokemon," you have to sit there for like 48 seconds to watch that bar keep increasing if you started with a level 5 pokeman.

[@jantoxen]

@ so true this

[@francovenica1531]

Gen 2 also introduced a better backpack with the division of health items, pokeballs, key items., etc. Also the SELECT button as well to use the bike or rods

[@virtualmaster2083]

Man it's a shame Pokemon Z never came out, it would've been a LEGEND amongst the other games

[@JoeyParksHere]

Yeah it is pretty odd too lol. The news of Legends: Z-A came well after I was done recording for this video, but we got that to look forward too!! Thanks for watching!! 😁

[@JoeyParksHere]

LOL I'll have to look into this! Thanks for watching!!

[@t-pizzle-]

Dang I didn't know this

[@mx._dobro-spec]

Gen I had an unused type called Bird. Gen II introduced the ??? type and removed mandatory saving to access boxes. Gen III gave Pokemon their own minisprites that are used in the party and boxes, and had two Pokemon from the next generation in Pokemon XD. Gen IV corrected the capitalization of things other than Pokemon. Gen V removed the ??? type, made the Elite Four playable in any order, had difficulty settings, and got rid of the annoying low-HP beeping. Gen VI had roller skating and certain characters have models. Gen VII gave Pokemon walking models, had battle models for every character, and had trainers present in the battle scene. Gen VIII added access to boxes without a PC and had no excuse not to scale the models. Gen IX remade and added texture to the models, and merged the battle scene with the over world.

[@mx._dobro-spec]

Also, the devices; Gen II had Poké Gear, Gen III the PokéNav, Gen IV the Pokétch, and Rotom devices since Gen VII.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good info!! Thank you! and thanks for watching!!

[@EdgardoJCruz-dk5kv]

You forgot about how the Lets Go games introduced the portable PC Boxes that were later implemented and refined into Gens 8 & 9. For going the need to go to Pokémon center in order to swap out or just store Pokémon. No you just have to bring it up in the menu or in the party menu, depending on the game.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Ahhh good call and good info!! Thanks for the addendum! Appreciate the support 😁👍

[@VirtualVirtuoso101]

For the playthrough that’s really nice to have but it needs to get locked in the E4. Obviously you can impose a block on yourself, but the game should do it.

[@darrenthorpe4733]

Can't believe you didn't mention the best part of gen 7. Which was completely getting rid of the dependency on HM's in Alola. Something that will hopefully stick around forever.

[@JoeyParksHere]

True, true good call! Thanks for watching and the info!! Appreciate it!

[@Compucles]

Well, he mentioned the Ride Pokémon. He just didn't spell out that they replaced the HMs.

[@En4cer2K9]

Even though... The ability to finally switch pokemon in and out of the lineup to and from boxes on the fly kinda negated the inconvenience of having "HM slave" pokemon in itself.

[@Compucles]

@@En4cer2K9 It would've still been inconvenient to need to swap in and out so many extra times. Plus, some of us don't use HM slaves and find it annoying how we have to waste a move slot on some Pokémon for Cut and Strength, which also can't just be replaced with a TM on the fly like any other move can be.

[@ace_of_spadez5914]

Was gonna mention hms in remakes, then I learned that they call wild pokemon to use them

[@Delaretro_]

The fact you pronounced Hawai’i properly makes me proud 🥹

[@JoeyParksHere]

i got you goat, thanks for watching! Glad you're here!!

[@HaxAras]

Gen 2 added roamers and headbutt trees. Added the C-gear? Gen 2 added dolls and decorations that gen 3 built upon with the secret bases. Pokéahalon and the gold crown in gen 4. Gn 4 added honey trees. Gen 4 added the Poketch and PokéRadar. Wifi events. Gen 4 gave players the ability to view their stats, such as Pokémon fished or caught. Gen 5 removed ribbons as collectibles. Wonder trading in gen 6. And the touch screen UI, I can't remember the name of it in general. ORAS added legendary worm holes and riding Latios/Latias. ORAS added Dex nav. Gen 7 added Battle Royal, (not sure of you mentioned that), overworld wild encounters, Poképelago. If I got any of these wrong, or some were mentioned in the video; I'm sure I'll hear about it.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Thanks for the additional info!! Appreciate it! Part 2 may be on the horizon tbh haha.. thanks for watching! appreciate it!!

[@Yousef77077]

Big fan of the professional tone in this documentary. I appreciate this kind of comprehensive and to-the-point content. You earned a sub.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support homie!! Much appreciated! 😁

Agreed! Another new sub for the same reasons ^-^

[@kurtwhittingham9726]

Sword and Shield also removed CO-OP Battle tower... that was the killer for me, i use to play with my wife about 20 hours a week since ORAS (when we started dating)

[@JoeyParksHere]

I never played sw/sh lol 😭 but that’s cool bonding with the gf 😁

[@maddiemcnugget1076]

Dang that sucks. I jumped from gen 4 to gen 9 (and didn’t even finish scarlet) but I love co op battles

[@purplesam2609]

When I was a kid I didn't understand how Pokemon generations worked. I started with Pokemon Pearl, and I didn't really know about other games. When they introduced gen 5, I thought they were replacing all the pokemon and I was so mad about it for a while. By the time I actually played the games I got over this, which.. considering they didn't have any older pokemon until the post game, you'd think that belief would have persisted

[@mariowalker9048]

Yea gen 5 waste only Gen that did that. Gen 3 came really close tho. Gen 4 felt massively different than 1 and 2

[@Ash_Yu]

Gen 6 is also the first generation you can change your outfit and buy clothes to customize your appearance. Wanted to bring it up since the video implies the customization options were just limited to the character creator. Gen 6 also changed the base power of several moves, nerfed weather creating effecting, and was the first Gen to go back and buff old mons base stats (for several mons, not just Pikachu) Edit: Also benches! Which I only want to mention because I remember it being memably hype in the build up to XY

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good information for sure, I appreciate it!! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@toxickandy9669]

Gen 2 started the trend of box legendaries with gen 3 starting version exclusive legendaries

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good call!! Thanks for watching and the comment!! Appreciate it! 😁

[@doopness785]

Also Gen 3 made Legendary encounters mandatory. Heart Gold and Soul Silver even changed the box legendary from optional to mandatory.

[@aaronroach3603]

Good God I feel so overwhelmed. I think it's amazing to see how far Pokemon has come all the way from gen 1. Definitely makes me feel old considering when I was a kid I started with watching the very first episode. Jezz

[@JoeyParksHere]

Lots of changes!! Thanks for watching!

[@clarkrodrigues787]

Loved the video, good job. I think a good detail is that in gen 4 you can change deoxys form in the same game. As int gen 3 it was tied to the version your playing. Gen 6 also included cosplay Pikachu

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good information!! Thanks for that! And for watching and enjoying; appreciate you homie! 😁

[@LITTLE1994]

As a Gen 1 veteran, Pokemon indeed changed a lot from my childhood.

[@JoeyParksHere]

So many changes…

[@BlueSatoshi]

1:00 They made a rap for the Johto Pokémon too.

[@TobyOrachee]

Also the "OG Rap" did NOT include all 151 Pokemon, since Mew was kept a secret back then. Same goes for Celebi in the "Johto Rap".

[@deeznuts9851]

Hoenn too

This may be your best work yet Joey. I didn’t even know all the changes between each game. Simply amazin!

[@JoeyParksHere]

Thank you so much, I got u goat!! 🐐

[@Mooskym]

Don't know if this was mentioned here somewhere - Gen. 8 removed friendship, so moves like Return became obsolete. Edit: Like I said, Return (and Frustration) was indeed removed in gen. 8, but I was mistaken about friendship. Friendship is still around, and still way too complex a mechanic for what it's used for (the latter statement is more of an opinion, lol). Sorry.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good call! Thank you!

[@Billbobs678]

What? No it didn't?

[@Mooskym]

@@Billbobs678 Oh yeah, you're right. I'm not really into Pokemon, so it makes sense I'd make mistakes. I knew gen. 8 removed the moves Return and Frustration, both of which use friendship to determine their base attack. Couple that with something else I'd heard and probably misunderstood about changes to friendship in gen. 8, and I had come to a wrong conclusion. I'll edit my original comment.

[@Billbobs678]

@@Mooskym ye I remember getting saved by friendship loads in bdsp so I was confused for a second

[@michaeldorrian3360]

Between the release of Japanese red and green and the international red and blue, Blizzards freeze chance was lowered from 30% to 10%

[@JoeyParksHere]

True! Good info, thanks for that! And for watching, appreciate it!

[@trapez77]

Does that mean you’re at a disadvantage when battling a Japanese player?

[@baseballgod1102]

Didn't mention Legends: Arceus (Gen VIII) - 6 new pokemon, new Hisui region (past form of Kalos), 16 regional variations of existing pokemon, 24 new moves, no abilities at all. Also, instead of moving from town to town there is only Jubilife Village and a bunch of other stuff

[@JediMasterBooy]

7 new Pokemon not 6

[@JoeyParksHere]

yeeeaah I've gotten that comment a bunch, I think i just decided early on that I wasn't gonna do it because it's so different form every other game in the core series. But in hindsight i probably should've done it lol. oh well! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!!!

[@Mr.Bones_]

The Hisui region is ancient Sinnoh, not Kalos

[@AJWEXIST47]

Past form of Kalos huh 🤨

[@VirtualVirtuoso101]

Battling has one or two changes lol (/s)

[@Pierah]

Gen 3 introduced Berry farming alongside 60 new berries. Gen 4 improved the concept with items to control yield and growth. Gen 6 expanded things further with plant Mutations. Gen 8 removed the feature altogether. Also, secret bases were alive (somewhat) for two more generations. Gen 5 had bases at one point, it allowed players around the world to visit your base, water your berries and exchange items. It was tied to the Dream World service though, so when that got shut off, Gen 5 completely lost bases AND berry plants. Gen 6 gave us a powered up version of Hoenn's bases with the online features of the PSS and the flag collection of Gen 4. But they've been MIA ever since. This video does a great job showing how the franchise progressed. The amount of features and mechanics that they put into these games is crazy, but it's sad when one of the ones you enjoyed gets axed eventually.

[@JoeyParksHere]

you know, you're really giving me some deja vu talking about the dream world, i kind of forgot about that!! Thanks for watching and for the info! Appreciate it!!

[@KawaiiJammy]

[@Compucles]

Gen 2: There were other bug fixes like the accuracy bug, the Hyper Beam bug, the Focus Energy bug, and the Toxic + Leech Seed bug. On the other hand, about half of the new acorn Pokéballs were bugged. This was especially disappointing, since the only other games in which they appear are HeartGold and SoulSilver. The Sleep status works a little differently. Night Shade, Seismic Toss, and Glare now respect type immunities. Wrap, Bind, Clamp, and Fire Spin no longer keep the opponent from attacking when you attack first and instead do some minor extra damage at the end of each turn. Counter is redesigned to work on all physical attacks (alongside a new special variant in Mirror Coat). Bide is reworked. Reflect and especially Light Screen are reworked. Conversion is reworked. Gust and Thunder can now hit Pokémon using Fly, while Earthquake can now hit Pokémon using Dig and for double damage. On the other hand, Swift (and other later "perfectly accurate" attacks) no longer hit during Fly or Dig. Struggle is now typeless. The OHKO moves have their accuracy reworked. Whirlwind and Roar now force switches in trainer battles. Dizzy Punch gains a confusion secondary effect. Haze no longer removes status afflictions. Rage no longer has locked nor continuous damage effects. Razor Wind gets a high critical rate. Rock Slide gains a chance to flinch. Skull Bash raises the user's defense on the first turn. Sky Attack gets a flinch chance and a high critical hit rate. Tri Attack gets its three status secondary effects.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Good shit!! Thanks for the list and for watching!

[@Jochira_VTuber]

One thing I feel you forgot to mention about Gen 5 is that it's the only Gen in which the Evil Team isn't defeated BEFORE the Elite Four. I think worth mentioning, since I don't remember other Gens having done this. (Rainbow Rocket doesn't count, since not part of main story)

[@JoeyParksHere]

Hmm, interesting point! Thanks for that and for watching! Appreciate you!

[@yaycupcake]

I find the gen 4 underground severely underwhelming, as I was a kid who got bullied and played videogames by myself as an escape. I had nobody to use the interactive features with so it was so boring for me. Secret bases weren't as fun either because it was all on a separate map, and took away all the magic of finding them as you play through the game in the overworld naturally. I also thought the gen 4 battle frontier was not as fun as gen 3. It wasn't awful, but I think it lacked some of the creativity of the gen 3 version, and all of my favorite features from the gen 3 frontier were gone.

[@JoeyParksHere]

I loved loved loved the underground lol (if you couldnt tell my the video!) But fair enough homie, its def not for everyone! Thanks for watching!

[@t-pizzle-]

Hell I wasn't even bullied, but I never had anyone to trade with or use online features. People played the games we just never hand link cords, or played together. It really sucked because some of my favorite mons required trade to obtain 😢

In gen 5, in some routes percussions get added and the music speeds up a bit if you're running; if I'm not mistaken, it's the only generation where you can talk to some npcs to add new instruments to the music. Also, B/W had the battle subway, the entralink, the pokemon musical, were the first games where several areas were entirely different between games, and were the first games which let you battle the elite four in any order. B2/W2 also added the customizable join avenue, Pokewood, hidden grottos, the white treehollow/black tower, and had a secret area visitable only after completing the regional dex.

[@pmahcgop6693]

Some changes I know from competitive: Gen1-gen2 Normal types are no longer immune to body slam paralysis You can thaw out of freeze naturally instead of it basically being a kill It doesn’t take up a turn to wake up from sleep Hyper beam forces you to recharge even after you get a kill Wrap-like moves were changed to prevent you from switching while doing some damage over time instead of essentially flinching you over and over Stat changes doesn’t stack the speed nerf from paralysis No more 256 glitch, a glitch that gives 100% accurate moves a 1/256 chance to miss due to a coding error Critical hit rate used to be based on speed but was changed in gen 2. From gen 2 to 3 They changed the sleep talk mechanics, making it so if sleep talk calls rest the move will fail. They also added a glitch where if a sleeping pokemon uses sleep talk and switches out, the sleep counter will not progress, so the pokemon can stay asleep forever Spikes are changed so you can add 3 layers of spikes. Gen3-gen4 I’m pretty sure this is the generation that made it so if an opposing pokemon explodes it doesn’t skip your turn. Gen4-5 Explosion was nerfed no longer halving the opposing pokemon’s defence. Sleep turns reset after switching out It might’ve been this generation or from 5-6 that added various priority speeds, fake out above all other priority, than extreme speed, than the rest. Gems were added which gave a 1.5x boost to a specific type attack the first time a move with that type is used, the gem then disappears after that one usage Gen5-gen6 A ton of moves like surf flamethrower draco meteor and sucker punch got their base power nerfed Gems were nerfed and all except the normal gem were removed Sleep was changed back to what it is today Hidden power was nerfed from Removed triple and rotation battles 70-60 Thunder wave was nerfed to 90% accuracy Terrains were added Gen6-gen7 Prankster doesn’t work against dark types Dark void was nerfed to 50% accuracy and smeargle couldn’t learn it with sketch Ash Greninja was added with the ability battle bond so it can transform No mandatory HMs Inceroar was introduced and later got intimidate which isn’t a big change mechanically but has completely changed vgc and now haunts every player’s dreams. Gen7-8 Terrains were nerfed to 30% increase in power (except misty because it doesn’t increase fairy type move power) A ton of moves were removed. TRs were added as temporary tms. Curry Paid online Aegislash had it’s stats nerfed Gen8-gen9 Wicked blow was nerfed to 75bp Grassy glide was nerfed to 55bp Transistor was nerfed to 1.3x Intrepid sword and shield only worked the first time they got sent out Zacian and zamazenta crowned got a stat nerf New items like covert cloak, clear amulet and more 5 revavroom forms for the different team star battles Auto battles Materials from wild pokemon Great video! Just wanted to add what I could to the comments, there’s definitely more if you want to look into movesets and stat buffs of weak pokemon but that’ll take a long time.

Gen 2 - missed hold items as a concept. Plus new TMs like waterfall that existed til HMs were removed. The phone and rebattling trainers, with some getting more powerful. Mass outbreaks. Gen 3 - missed the new berry system/names/flavors which would have neatly tied to Contests, and while you mentioned the berry glitch, you didn't mention that FRLG, Emerald, coliseum, Xd and channel had a patch for it. Trainer cards, and they can be upgraded. Added ribbons. Gen 4 - missed the concept of gender differences and formes. New evolutions for existing Pokémon. Error about abilities, mons could already have 2 abilities (e.g snorlax could already have thick fat or immunity), some were just granted a second. Additon of Ball Capsules that were gone by next gen. Poison faded in overworld as soon as a mon hit 1hp. Location-based evolutions. Move-based evolutions. The concept of generation migration from the previous gen. Gen 5 - season cycles change the Pokémon available as well as changing routes to make some areas accessible. The idea of a direct sequel that links back to the original game. Difficulties using the key system. Non-pokemon battles like in pokestar studios. Removed berry growing Gen 6 - returned to berry growing and added a couple new ones. Multiple pokedexes based on location in the region. Items that could be retrieved from wild battles by hitting objects in the background. Gen 7 - ultra SM were not sequels, they were closer to "third versions", removed berry growing again. Gen 8 - in addition to Dexit, they also removed a load of moves were removed. removed all existing location-based evolutions changing them to stones. Linked badges to how powerful Pokémon you could catch. Weather effects change areas Pokémon. Skipped Legends Arceus when that introduced new mons and regional formes Gen 9 - regional formes in wild outside of that region in BB academy, outbreaks incresing shiny chance

Legends Arcues be like.... You even mention Ursaluna, who was introduced in PLA. Also it would have been nice to reference the Shadow Pokemon, considering we get a ribbon for it that can be shown as a battle title now.

[@Compucles]

Shadow Pokémon only existed in a couple of spin-offs (and one specific example in Pokkén), so I don't blame him for skipping over them.

yeeeaah I've gotten that comment a bunch, I think i just decided early on that I wasn't gonna do it because it's so different form every other game in the core series. But in hindsight i probably should've done it lol. oh well! Thanks for watching I appreciate it!!

[@OrangeHorizon97]

The biggest change the games ever had was my childhood.

[@Cicosbruh]

Another minor connection, you forgot to mention gen 4 added trainers sprite animation and gen 5 added more and better trainers sprite animations, in black and white for some reason only a few important trainers had animations but in the sequel every trainer even minor ones had animations pretty cool addition

@rowanrawlz1871 I won't play a new gen where my pokemon can't keep it's moveset from a past generation, can't mega if I built it for that purpose, can't use a z-move when a spent time building an entire movement based on that, or possibly can't use the mon at all as it's just not in the game. Then you tell me it's performance is shit, and cost more? Nah I'm good.

My favorite change in gen 6 is that when you're in a wild battle npcs don't move so if you're trying to avoid an npc while you're in tall grass the don't move

Gen 5: low hp: ambulance sound Last gin leader's pokemon: epic song Wild spots: find gen (in caves), wild rare pokemons Plaza: build your own shop and upgrade it, to hatch eggs faster, improve pokemon's evs, buy rare itens... Nimbasa's training arena: everyday you can fight and get some itens with trainers to level up faster. New gin mechanics/puzzles: new animations and challenges with 3d effects Gen 5 is one of my favourites (gen 2 is pure nostalgic)

[@TurquoiseStar17]

The Gold & Silver remakes demonstrated how big of a deal the Gen 4 Physical/Special split was, especially for the types based around it - Ghost, Dark and Psychic. Morty, Karen and Sabrina's attacks respectively hit like a truck compared to the original.

[@JoeyParksHere]

yeah physical special split was such a good call lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Appreciate yoU!

[@Sly88Frye]

20:54 bringing in fairy type I believe was one of the best things they had ever done in the series. Sometimes it really felt like dragon type was just way too overpowered because they only had weaknesses to dragon and ice. And then on top of that they made the fairy type have weaknesses to steal and poison which in turn made other types the steel and poison types more useful. Poison pokémon honestly suck really bad and there wasn't very much that they were super effective against but making them super effective against the dragon killers that are fairy type was a very smart move. Steel type being super effective against fairy also made so much sense because what steel type was great at was the fact that they took reduced damage from a lot of other attacks but they weren't super effective against very many other types. Very type really helped balance the game more. It is kind of weird how some pokémon who were never fairy type before ended up being fairy type but it does make sense they would do that so that more pokémon would be fairy type instead just only new ones.

[@cioplasmmajic8327]

Giving abilities to every Pokémon was a mistake. Instead of being cool unique additions, they're often just boring minor boosts. I will never forgive GameFreak for removing Shuckle's proto-ability to make berry juice.

[@JoeyParksHere]

I very strongly disagree with this lol. I think abilities go a very long way in making pokemon feel unique, even if an ability isnt exactly unique to them. Gives them much more identity imo! Thanks for watching and the comment tho!! Appreciate it!

[@casedistorted]

Bro as a kid I knew about Pokemon before it came to America as Pocket Monsters when I was in 6th grade in the 90’s but didn’t play it until HS in 2002 I believe on my game boy color (still have it, and my Pokemon blue cart is SOMEWHERE I can’t find), but I stopped with Gen 1 cuz I just wanted to experience that game finally. Had I know gold and silver were so sick as a sequel, and secret bases after? I would’ve kept playing. I was playing in a punk band and super busy in HS tho so I got distracted pretty fast

[@JoeyParksHere]

Haha well maybe you can go check it out sometime!! Thanks for watching homie!

[@tokyotidien]

One of my favorite added features is the possibility to surf, cut, etc by just pressing A, without having to go to the Pokémon menu and select the Pokémon with the HM in question

[@JoeyParksHere]

TRUE

[@mmeikol]

One of my favorite gimmicks from Gen 2 was Mystery Gift. You can connect 2 GBC’s via IR and receive an item. Additionally, after getting access to Kanto, a trainer appears in the basement of a house in Viridian City with a copy of the team you connected with. Beating up my little brothers team without him feeling bad felt so good

[@JoeyParksHere]

I may cover them in the next part! Thanks for watching!!

[@Rinabow]

11:53 This is incorrect. Some Pokémon such as Breloom or Machamp gained an additional ability in Generation 4, but Pokémon have been able to have 2 abilities since the inception of abilities in Generation 3. The only time a Pokémon's number of available abilities expanded was when hidden abilities were introduced in Generation 5.

[@JoeyParksHere]

I understand the confusion in how I worded this, but I said: "Many pokemon were able to have 1 of 2 different abilities, as they only had 1 available in gen 3." That is to say, many pokemon that only had 1 ability in gen 3 got access to an alternative ability. Not to say that Pokemon being able to have 2 abilities was created this gen. I could have been more clear haha! Thanks for watching!

[@john-vl3mm]

>[Pokérus] doubles the amount of EVs you get after knocking out a pokémon Well, since you brought it up, the EV system (generally referred to as stat experience in Gen 1-2) was overhauled in Gen 3. While previously you could max out each stat, now you can acquire a limited number that's enough to max out two stats (with one point left over), creating a more tactical and customisation-focused iteration.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Oh, thats good information! Thanks for that and for watching! Appreciate you!

[@Sunlight91]

The most important change was Gen 2 adding proper color and proper pokemon sprites. Gen1 sprites often looked like abominations. Pokemon cuteness and color increased the charm of the game by orders of magnitudes.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Gen 2 definitely did look a lot better, good call! Thanks for watching!! Appreciate it!

There's also the Speed Mechanic change in Gen 8 where Tailwind and sudden weather effects (switching a Pokemon in with Drought for example) are applied instantaneously instead of the next turn

[@modenoatr]

A big one! IVs weren't the only thing to change between 2 and 3! In Gens 1 and 2, every time your Pokémon would defeat an opponent, they'd get Stat Experience equal to the opponent's base stats added to their stats, up to 65,535 per stat (with some more calculations as to how that experience would influence their actual stats, giving up to a +63 bonus to a stat at level 100). This allowed Pokémon to essentially grind and max out every single stat simultaneously. In Gen 3, they overhauled this system and replaced it with EVs, where defeating a Pokémon would yield between 1 and 3 points spread across a selection of stats depending on the defeated Pokémon's species (so, for instance, KO'ing a Linoone would give your Pokémon 2 Speed EVs). These EVs max out at 255, also give up to +63 to a stat at level 100, and, crucially, the total EVs a Pokémon can have is 510, making it impossible to grind more than two stats to their highest potential. While not really influental for casual playthroughs, this had massive ramifications for competitive battles, specifically by forcing players to make real choices as to what to focus on instead of just making everything a tanky, fast, mixed attacker.

[@JoeyParksHere]

I'll have to look into this for part 2! Thanks for the info!! And for watching, appreciate you!

19:03 I'm so glad they actually did the unlimited uses of TMs. It was something I didn't realize I needed since I actually started with first generation when I was a kid in the '90s but when I finally got to have unlimited uses of TMs in generation 5 I was like wow I'd even realize what I was missing out on. I remember in a battle against a then friend of mine on FireRed and leaf Green when I gave like all my pokémon hyperbeam but I had to spend $7,500 polka dollars on each hyper beam TM. That cost me a fortune in that game. I don't remember how much a hyper beam TM cost now It's obviously a lot more expensive since it's permanent instead of one time use
