LMAOOO

[@Prohjectiles]

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!! 👍😁

Gen 3 also added running shoes

​@@ejokurirulezz9:02 he did mention it

[@alvaroviquez1870]

Plus ACRO/MACH bikes!

[@dragontamershadria3058]

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!

[@dragontamershadria3058]

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.

[@chrissc3704]

@@ejokurirulezzthis is the correct information.

[@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! 😁

[@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.

[@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

[@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 😁👍

[@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!

[@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!! 😁

I see what you did there. Lol.

[@Azorz]

I’m supposed this is top comment

[@Compucles]

@@JoeyParksHereYeah, your comment that "Mega Evolutions were never seen again" aged very badly.

[@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

[@DragonKingRaiguy]

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

[@Delaretro_]

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

[@JoeyParksHere]

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

[@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

[@Yousef77077]

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

[@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

[@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!!

[@BlueSatoshi]

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

Then you tell me it's performance is shit, and cost more? Nah I'm good.

[@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.

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

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

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)

[@lucadomenichini4926]

Great video, I've been looking for a while for a video that explained all the changes from gen to gen in pokemon games, so thank you! One change you didn't mention (I don't remember if it happened in gen 2 or 3, though) is the pc/box system: before, they could store up to 20 pokemon, but when they got full you had to go to a pokemon center and manually change the box. If the box was full, you couldn't catch more pokemons until you changed it to a new one (and the game didn't notify you about this, so eventually you found out your box was full when you were about to catch a pokemon, it happened to me with articuno in yellow). But now the pc box changes automatically if one is full, so it's waaaay more convenient.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Yo thanks for watching! And good call pc stuff will be in a future part!

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! 😁

[@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.

@@billbobs678 Oh yeah, you're right. I'm not really into Pokemon, so it makes sense I'd make mistakes.

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.

I’ve been fucking looking for this!!! No one had a video like this until I found this one. You rock!

[@JoeyParksHere]

Ayyyy glad you liked it homie!!

A classic goof

Leech Life is now stronger than it once was when it was first introduced in Generation 1. It now has a higher base power starting in Generation 7.

[@ProfJayBee]

Respect! I’ve played this series since gen1 was released in the UK in 1999, and I thought I knew everything, but I actually learned some cool stuff in your video! great job, you more than earned my subscription😅. Oh, thought you might be interested, gen 2 Pokémon got a poke rap song … it was garbage, it was called pokerap GS.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Yeah other people have commented about the other raps!! There's actually one for gen 3 too! But i agree, the gen 1 clears them all lol. Thanks for watching and your kind words!! Appreciate it! Peace to the UK!

[@TeeMac009]

Overall great and well made video, enjoyed it!

[@JoeyParksHere]

Yoo thank you so much for that! And for watching!! Appreciate you!

[@LITTLE1994]

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

[@JoeyParksHere]

So many changes…

[@NAVI7x]

Great video my dude, 2 little pointers I wanted to add. 1) You should include how every new generation had a new way to evolve a pokemon. 2) You referenced pokemon go and how they added new mons, and I think you should references Legends Arceus because they also added new mons to the mix. Now with a question for you. Have you played every main series game?

[@JoeyParksHere]

Thanks for watching and your kind words!! So yeah I didnt talk about Legends arceus, but the new pokemon/moves are included in the final counts... it was a big project okay lol. I actually have not played every mainline game! I've kept up with them pretty closely, but I have not played Sword/Shield of Scarlet/Violet! That was part of the reason why I wanted to do this video, catch up on/research them :)

[@IvoryAspen97]

33:20. It might be worth mentioning that the Gyms, despite being able to be done “in any order” don’t level-scale. Very important distinction.

[@wafflehead73]

I thought you had at least 100k subs! Great video!

[@JoeyParksHere]

ay yo! Maybe one day haha, thanks for being here and watching!! Appreciate it!

[@ita_pupu]

The production on this video is insane I would have thought you had 250k+ subscribers already

[@JoeyParksHere]

ayyyo?? Maybe one day haha! Thanks for the positive words homie!

[@esalinas09]

Good vid, didnt know that gen 1 had 185 pokemon instead of 151 according to the chart at the beginning lol 😅😅

[@JoeyParksHere]

Yeeaaah, that was my b LOL Thanks for watching!

[@lionyx98]

Cool video, nice nostalgic journey 😌

[@JoeyParksHere]

Thanks homie 😁 glad you liked it!

[@Reppen555]

i grew up with pokemon firered and leafgreen to this day those are still my favorite pokemon games.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Gen 3 is my goat 😁👍

[@josephmelbaleyos9511]

Let's be real, Battle Frontier is the best post-game challenge. Earning those Frontier symbols and turning it into gold. I don't hate the newer versions, it's just Battle Frontier is the peak of post-game in the Pokemon series.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Naaawwww going back to Kanto in Silver and Gold is way cooler imo. Thanks for watching!!!

[@josephmelbaleyos9511]

@@JoeyParksHere Hmmmm... Maybe you're right, but I didn't consider going back to Kanto as post-game. I considered it as second half of the game. Hahaha! But yeah, it's cool tho.

[@JoeyParksHere]

I mean, I guess you’re not wrong? Lol but most people def call it a post game!

[@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!!

[@CardcaptorLiShowron]

Great video and They did do a rap for Gen 2, but that was it.

[@JoeyParksHere]

So I’ve heard! Thanks for watching!

[@maigyorek2286]

I love this guy hes so nice and respectful

[@JoeyParksHere]

Okay this is my new favorite comment. Thanks for watching goat 😁

[@eliasb22]

I might have missed you saying this during gen 3, but I think you overlooked a big one: a massive overhaul was the introduction of how EVs worked in gen 3. In the first two gens, all stats could be theoretically maxed (if you had the right IVs) because there was no EV cap. Gen 3 changed that, making it so that you could only max out a total of two stats (an EV cap of 510 points). This fundamentally changed stat training (and competitive team building), as you had to pick and choose and build strategies around which Pokémon’s stats would be taken into account when EV training. I’m not sure about this but I THINK the overhaul to EVs was essentially why Pokémon could not be traded forward from gen 1/2 to gen 3. Their EV distribution would basically be broken / incompatible with Gen 3’s overhaul.

[@JoeyParksHere]

Yeup! Thanks for the info, gonna cover EV’s in a future part for sure

[@titan_xvi4749]

This video popped up on my recommended and my page refreshed so I went out of my way to search for this

[@JoeyParksHere]

Yoo That's my goat!! Thanks for taking the effort and watching!! Appreciate it!

[@ImranKhan-ie3gl]

Great vid - I loved all the quality of life changes gen 2 introduced back in the day vs gen 1. Doing a brain dump off the top of my head which I feel also helped set the bar for future gens (sorry if some already mentioned in comments!): - shortcut ('select') button for quick key item (bike!) use was revolutionary - 'move' pokemon function to make organising boxes easier (rather than just withdraw/deposit from gen 1) - backpack item pocket differentiation (rather than 1 long list) - smoother backsprites (rather than pixelated zooms from gen 1) - bike BGM changing to normal area BGM when moving between areas (couldn't do in gen 1 - was annoying 😅) - time capsule, backward compatible trading (just wow!) - daily respawning items (berries/apricorns) and regular events (eg. Loto, haircuts, bug catching contest) - saving money with mom (this one bit meh lol but still cool concept to hold twice as much money as future games) - decorate room and menus (another meh, but first steps towards player customisation options) - more differentiated overworld sprite groups for Pokémon than gen 1 (e.g. charmander, charizard and gengar line) - trainer rematches and swarms (didnt use this hugely myself) - different legendary pokemon BGM than standard wild encounter one (from Crystal onwards) - route/town signs when you enter (Crystal onwards) - introduction of *colour* (of course!) - your trainer turning to face the challenger who spots you (vs staying fixed in gen 1) - rage and bind not being OP anymore lol, and hyper beam in-between knocking out Pokémon needing recharge - in-battle sleep mechanic being rebalanced (Last few just ironed out gen 1 imbalances). I'm sure there's more (eg mystery gift etc) but these were my faves on top of what you listed - definitely made me nostalgic watching this! Thanks for making the vid :)

[@JoeyParksHere]

Yoo thanks for the list! Def gonna do more parts of this so the title isn’t a lie haha :) thanks for watching!

[@yourbud123]

Imagine traveling to Japan and then trading with your best friend there and corrupting both save files

[@JoeyParksHere]

LMAOO true

[@kingjaries]

Johto with the two regions was sick, however, I remember Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald the most

[@JoeyParksHere]

Yeah same, Sapphire was the first Pokémon game I owned as a kid!

[@allhailme8457]

Pokemon yellow added team rocket and happiness and one Pokemon that followed you. Pokemon Crystal... I'm not sure if it added anything really. It changed the story up but I cant recall if it added anything extra... gen 2 overall made the bag and managing your Pokemon better. If you want to add games that allowed extra storage, both Pokemon stadiums allowed you to hold Pokemon for gens 1&2, Pokemon Box was for your gen 3 Pokemon, Pokemon Ranch worked on gen 4 Pokemon, Pokemon Bank was used for gens 5-7 and Pokemon Home is working for gens 8and 9 so far.
