Oh, I can relate to you on the whole Feebas thing. I am CONVINCED that Snubbull is just as rare in HeartGold and SoulSilver, because I have NEVER found one on the only route it’s supposed to appear on. But you know what I DID find? TWO. SHINY. MAGNEMITE. TWO. Even with the Shiny odds having been improved in Gen 4… just HOW??! How am I more likely to find TWO SHINY POKÉMON than just one fairy dog that you can find easily in Gen 7?!

That Feebas rant was legendary. My battery on sapphire was dead and it was actually useful since Feebas' location is based on the trendy saying in dewford. And with a dead battery, time is essentially frozen so I was able to fish for as many Feebas' as needed without worrying about time changing the trendy saying, there by changing Feebas' tile location. Finding it and evolving it is still a bitch so I felt that rant on a spiritual level.

[@VimyGlide]

16:53 for anyone curious

[@SolarisGames]

what do you mean "baed on the trendy saying" how whhyyy... How.???

[@Ze_eT]

@@SolarisGames I think it just means that the random value used to determine the trendy saying is the same as the random value used to determine which tiles have Feebas. In essence, using the trendy saying, you can deduce what the random value is, and using said random value you can deduce where you can fish up Feebas.

[@IgnitedQuils]

@@Ze_eT Yeah, and changing the trends randomize the tiles where Feebas can be fished on. Yet they're hard to distinguish.

About the Feebas rant: Attempting to find one in Diamond 15 years ago was how I found and caught my very first Shiny: A Barboach.

[@arianimates79]

I found three shinies in my Ruby cartridge on the same save file and still don't have a feebas (in case you were wondering, my first shiny was a Solrock that I failed, a pichu that I hatched from my second egg, and a magnemite found in new mauville.)

[@TheWizardMus]

I got a shiny magikarp doing that in BDSP

[@TheWizardMus]

@maltese1122 the thing is, it actually does it's a 50% in most games it has the tile mechanics

[@BloodThirstyAvengers]

My first Full Odds Shiny was an Electrike in Sapphire, a blue mon I fittingly named Sapphire. Problem is, I have a fake Sapphire cart which I got as a birthday gift from... essentially a yard sale which was held at a school. That means, when I played Diamond with that Sapphire in the GBA slot, trying to find a Seviper, not only could I not get that Seviper, but the Diamond saw the fake Sapphire as a possible ROM hack and erased the save data, sending my Shiny Electrike into the digital aether for all eternity.

[@Valentinesdayghost]

It’s not a very popular or good Pokémon but GOD DAMN does it have a W shiny

[@jepaai20]

The worst part about Feebas's evolution requirement is that after eating enough PokeBlocks, the Pokemon won't eat anymore, so if you don't get Feebas to the right Beauty level before it stops eating, you'll have to catch another Feebas and start the process over again. Thank GOD, Gen 5 removed the contest stat and made Feebas a trade evolution, and thank GOD again that ORAS made Feebas easy as hell to find and didn't bring back that, I guess, fullness mechanic (I believe it's called Sheen in Gen 4 or something like that).

[@sarcasm-aplenty]

You could breed a feebas and hope it has a better preference for pokeblocks. I have no idea how many steps it takes for feebas to hatch but probably too many lol

I’m not the biggest fan of Gen 3 but I still gotta admit that this is when Pokémon started getting REALLY damn good. Sure, no game can be perfect but this is the start of a huge winning streak for the series

[@Powerman77775]

Why? Gen 3 gave us main games with the most side content in terms of things to discover and explore. Introduced so many great side games such as the Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, and Colosseum games. For me it’s PKMN’s creative peak.

[@piranhalettuce]

[@marysmile1603]

This may sound silly, but I think my biggest grievance with Emerald specifically is Wallace and all of his wasted potential. Like, if you're gonna make him champion, why not expand his role in the story? That's what they did for Steven in Ruby and Sapphire, so I don't see why they couldn't do it for him as well. And, based on what little we know about him, he sounds like an interesting character, too. Personality-wise, he's shown to be a good sport who's well-spoken and well-mannered, and who cares deeply about his city and his Pokemon. And besides being champion, he's also a former student of Juan's, as well as an artist apparently. Hell, he's even the only mono-type champion whose team is actually made up entirely of his type specialty. You gotta give him props for that. It really is a shame they didn't expand on his character in Emerald. (oh, and to answer your question, my favorite Hoenn Pokemon is Altaria.)

[@exaltedfalcheon1793]

[@ShadowWing7439]

My favorite Pokemon for Gen 3 is Flygon. I just love that it's a Dragon with the immunity of a flying Pokemon without having to be a flying Pokemon, especially since abilities were introduced in this generation, giving many Pokemon more uses in battle that isn't just stats and type advantages.

[@onimusha095]

[@GhostGuy99]

Two things I want to bring up now regarding the Regi Trio. I remember when I had to do all of that in Alpha Sapphire, but they go a step further with Regigigas. You need to have all of the Regi Titans in your party, use the Eon Flute to ride Latios/Latias to a specific spot in Hoenn, make sure your Regice has a nickname and is holding something cold (such as a Casteliacone or Never-Melt Ice) and only then can you encounter Regigigas. In Diamond and Pearl, all you needed was to transfer the Titans to your game and then find where Regigigas was sleeping. And speaking of Diamond and Pearl, take a second to acknowledge the fact that Gamefreak had us do a bunch of specific and intricate crap to get the Regi Trio...but thought that getting Arceus would be too complicated for players to figure out when literally all you need to do is have the Azure Flute in your bag. Yeah, because finding a specific spot on a Route to use Dive, interacting with Braille writing while having two very specific Pokémon in two very specific spots in your party, going to three very specific places, and doing very specific movements before using a very specific Field move in a very specific spot in their chambers is much easier than just having a rare item in your bag before going to where Arceus is.

[@hazysnowstudios7553]

Not to mention, if you fuck up and accidentally knock them out, YOU CANT GET THE REGIS ANYMORE! I don't have regirock and regice for this exact reason because all of my pokemon were in the high 70's after recently defeating emerald Steven, and the Regis spawn at LEVEL 40. Did they expect you to do the Regis BEFORE Wallace/Steven depending on your version?

3:06 My personal head canon is that the player character only enters his room and the main room and not the parents’s room. Like a filial piety thing. “Honor thy father and thy mother” aka not going into our parents’s room uninvited. I barely ever went into my parents’s room growing up. Translating that into video game logic, that room just… wouldn’t be accessible to the player. It’s not that there ISN’T a parents’s bedroom, it’s that the player character doesn’t WANT to go in there on account of filial piety.

canonically in the manga that bases itself off the games, the running shoes are the super technologically advanced turbo shoes that you can activate to boost you to speeds impossible for a normal human.

31:35 So, you can see by the splashes that Kyogre's making that the bottom of the screen is probably the surface of the sea, reinforced by the fact that Kyogre's sinking into the ocean. So, where the hell is Groudon going? He's backing up, but also sinking downwards. Did he step off his platform and start sinking? He can't swim, he needed to fucking earthbend a platform for himself (which I'm not even going to get into) so not to drown, I'm pretty sure he would sink even a little bit faster.

[@SemiHypercube]

18:23 IIRC they actually did later make it (in like Gen V) so that it evolves when traded holding a Prism Scale (then again trade evos especially ones with a held item are still some of the worst) Also didn't mention how the Mt. Pyre summit theme is like one of the best themes in the game and it's in an area you're only in for like 30 seconds.

[@Myron_The_Slavicwolf]

To add on to the feebas rant, you have to be careful when feeding it pokeblocks because doing so increases its sheen, which is an invisible stat that affects it's contest score. How do you know how much sheen a pokemon has? The sparkles that appear around it when you open the pokeblock menu and select a pokemon. A pokemon can have a maximum of 255 sheen, and if you max out it's sheen it cannot eat anymore pokeblocks. Sheen cannot be decreased either, so if you max out Feebas' sheen but didn't get it's beauty condition high enough in the process, that feebas can never evolve unless you trade it to Pal park in Pokemon Platinum, then trade it to Pokemon Black and White using the Poketransfer, then finding a prism scale, give it to feebas, then do another trade inside Black and White. It's doable and SEEMINGLY easier to do than using pokeblocks, but it's gonna take 2-3 handhelds and you had to have downloaded Pokemon Bank before the eshop was discontinued on March 27th, 2023. As of writing this comment, there are at least 15 pokemon that are wholly unobtainable on the switch, and milotic was THIS CLOSE to being one of them.

[@Myron_The_Slavicwolf]

Edit: You can transfer feebas to HeartGold and SoulSilver, where instead of feeding it pokeblocks or puffins, you can get it groomed by Daisy Oak or the Haircut Brothers. This is more straightforward, but it's going to take multiple real-world days since Pokemon can only be groomed once a day (you can cheese this by changing your DS clock, in which case it'll only take an hour at most.) Additionally, only Daisy's grooming gives a set amount of beauty points (33) while with the haircut brothers it depends on your feebas' current friendship among other things. As the cherry on top, you STILL have to be careful not to max out Feebas' sheen before getting it's beauty condition high enough (170+). Again, Daisy's grooming gives a set amount of sheen (22) and the haircut brothers do not. So while evolving Feebas into Milotic is easier in Gen 4 Johto than it is in Hoenn and Sinnoh, it's still time consuming, as even if you stick with daisy, it's going to take at least 6 real-world days (or about an hour if you decide to cheese it)

Gen 3 is one of the best ones. I'd say it's only behind Gen 5. It feels like the first "middle Pokémon" game, not having any broken mechanics, but also lacking the features that define a good chunk of the later games.

[@skarmtsk]

After having watched it once and going back for a second time, I would like to point out that certain sins, while never explicitly stated in-game for obvious reason, mainly come about through abstraction. Things like there only being 40 people in an entire city, there being no bathrooms, your parents not having a bedroom, those are all things that come in the form of abstraction It's hard to really be transparent about that though since drawing attention to abstraction highlights the absurdity of said abstraction

Aahhh hoenn… where my first ever journey began… thank you charriii I love all your everything wrong with videos

[@drumo2273]

Hey Charriii! Great video as always, but I've been rewatching some of your videos and eventually got to the "everything I love about Sonic '06" video, and it's been lingering in my mind for a bit. It reminded me about the sort of... apprehension you described about the "Everything wrong with" series, and how that (unsurprisingly) affects you both mentally and physically. To that, I'd love to see you do more of the "Everything I love about" videos. Aside from giving us more content which I'll never complain about, I think it'd be a nice middle line between finding faults in these games you so clearly enjoy and telling us what you actually enjoy about them in those more genuine, unedited videos. I uhh... dunno how to end this. Keep drawing and working on what you love. Comment does not contain furry lapdance.

[@cartooncritique6625]

2:45 Well, this is a universe where they send 10-year old children off into the world to fight and capture super-powered monsters without a hint of parental supervision, so I think it's fair to assume that child neglect is pretty commonplace. 3:34 It doesn't even make sense in-universe since there are plenty of female trainers. :/ 11:40 See the 1st point I made at 2:45.

[@DamBaker95]

0:16 Zigzagoon was the perfect HM slave due to it being an normal type. it's a very all-rounded Pokémon Also finding the Magma hideout in a time where i couldn't acces the internet (and properly speak English because i live in Belgium) was a pain. We literally had to talk to other people at school to find stuff like this out. 31:02 Watching this the first time as a 10 year old was like witnessing a divine act: the music, the 3 "gods", the impact it had on the story was marvelous. My favorite is Blaziken, the combination of fire and fighting was my favorite back in the day until it became overused with later generations

[@solarcupid2583]

I never played pokemon as a kid, so I've been playing the games in order. I'm currently in late game Sapphire, and it's been my least favorite so far. There's no pokemon from previous generations, the actual map is so confusing, and like he said- there's no way to find out how to progress the game without investigating EVERYTHING (or google but that wasn't a feasible idea at the time). I might be wrong since Sapphire is the game I'm CURRENTLY playing, but I don't remember the previous games being this hard to progress storywise

[@jeremyrossi2716]

Can we add some sins for every single gym leader having some kinda bs: Roxanne’s Nosepass basically requires an evolved starter out of sheer bulk Brawly without a Ghost type turns into a Makuhita boosted with screens killing you with Vital Throw Wattson’s Voltorb and Magneton require either Marshstomp or Hariyama or you WILL wipe Flannery’s Torcoal and Camerupt spamming Overheat in Sun kinda sucks Norman’s Belly Drum Linoone will catch you off guard without a ghost type and Slaking without a two turn move sucks Winona has a LEVEL 33 DRAGON DANCE ALTARIA. Not only is this Pokémon completely illegal as Swablu evolves at 35 and learns Dragon Dance at 40, if the Swablu she leads with doesn’t immediately die she WILL sweep. The only way I was able to beat it was with Skarmory using Sand Attack 4x and Magneton using Thunderwave and Supersonic so it basically could almost never get a hit with Earthquake and spam Spark until it died. Then the Tropius and Pelipper have the AUDACITY to try and PP stall with Synthesis and Protect. Winona SUCKS. Tate and Liza have a bunch of boosting and Status moves like Sunny Day, Calm Mind, Light Screen, Hypnosis, etc. Which are all annoying And Juan has Kingdra which if you don’t bring in a Gardevoir that will spam Calm Mind, Thunderbolt and Psychic, you’ll probably have a bad time. You either have to use galaxy brain strats or grind to hell and back (sometimes both) to beat gyms in Emerald and I wouldn’t think they’d be asking too much of the player, if it wasn’t for the fact that the “easy” ways to beat them are super out of the way. For me during a Treeko run what I did was the following Used Treeko and then Growl Zigzagoon and Confusion Ralts for Nosepass Sableye bodies Brawly because Brawly can’t actually damage it I used Groovyle for Voltorb and Electrike, then Hariyama for the rest of Watson For Flannery I used the same combo For Norman I used Groovyle for Spinda and Vigaroth, Sableye for Lineoone, and everything against Slaking Winona I used the disgusting strat above Tate and Lisa I haven’t encountered yet, but I will likely just use Surf and Leaf Blade repeatedly As for Juan, Set up Gardevoir with Calm Mind on Sealeo and he realistically can’t stop you, but still-the worst of luck still happens sometimes

[@superlombax1561]

Funnily enough, with Winona, the game does kinda give you a helping hand with that fight if you know about the Ice Beam TM at the abandoned ship on one of the completely optional water routes you can travel on before getting back to Mauville. But yeah, only if you went out of your way to get that before heading all the way up to Fortree would you basically keep that fight from being a pain in the butt. Well, I think also Solrock and Lunatone are a huge help there too.

[@jeremyrossi2716]

@@superlombax1561 1. I think you need Dive and Surf for Ice Beam which you don’t get till much later 2. That is super out of the way 3. None of my Pokémon at the time could learn it anyway so it wouldn’t have even mattered. My best options would have been to get an Aron, grind it up to at least Larion if not Aggron, teach it Rock Tomb via TM since that’s the ONLY Rock attack it gets outside of tutoring which doesn’t come in till much later; or get Solrock and Lunatone and pray they can handle it. None of these options can handle Pelliper well btw, and you’ll need all the help you can get bc it likes to Protect spam and PP stall you. Everyone calls out Whitney’s Miltank and Claire’s Kingdra but next to no one calls out Winona for just being annoying.

[@twilightfire93]

I'll be honest, the only way I got the Regis was by having a dictionary at my dad's house that had the entirety of the Braille alphabet in the back of it. My bro and I spent so many hours going back and forth between that book and writing it all down that I could even offhand read the dots on their own without context! Hell, I still can recognize some of the shapes when I see them out and about! Like, holy shit, I was lucky my dad had that dictionary and I didn't have to look it up at school or something. And this was back in the early 2000s so Google wasn't really all that prevalent then. Sapphire was my first Pokemon game, I still love it to this day, but MAN were some of the puzzles and eccentricities out there. How were they expeting kids to even figure this shit out on their own unless they just happened to have books actually lying around with the shit they needed like I did? I mean, it was cool when my bro and I figured it out, but damn looking back that was annoying as hell. And yeah, I never got Feebas either. I always envyed people who had Militoc and once I heard how you were supposed to get it I was like, nah, fuck that. Gen 3 was SOMETHING ELSE, man. Still one hell of a way to start playing! And even got me and my bro into gaming together since he got Ruby and Emerald and we were constantly helping each other out with filling out our Pokedexes and battling each other. It was a good time with all kinds of memories. Oh, and fave Pokemon from Hoenn, gotta be a massive tie between Kyogre and Gardevoir! Love those two to pieces 💙💙💙

Decently fun analysis video! Thanks for uploading! Nonetheless.... 5:45 Wally is sickly & nervous, & Norman's the player's dad. He may have been thanking the player character for helping persuade Norman, or just coming along as emotional support. 6:22 I like that you're looking into trainer dialogue. 6:30 Well, it is a Gym & you are the challenger. It probably is part of their job to challenge any Gym Challengers they see. Plus, Pokemon battling is popular in-universe! 6:40 Gen 3 was intended as a reboot so they probably meant to limit the pool. Besides most other Rock types not being intended for these games, the majority of them are evolved or have a really high BST or tough type combo for 1st Gym or they're fossils, which are meant to be special, in a game that has its own fossils. MAYBE Larvitar? 8:25 Lol. 12:02 A lot of NPC trainers have just the level-up movepool, but movepools are shallow, so many NPC Pokemon aren't high enough level to forget old moves. 13:27 Sin on you/the meme, not the game. 18:07 Congrats! 29:27 Oof. Sounds like a rough time. 30:13 As Wallace just said, Wallace wants to protect Sootopolis. & the player character has proven themselves as an exceptional trainer.

I master balled a Latias, pretty lucky. I caught a feebas and managed to evolve it dispite having limited berries on a dead battery, even luckier (though I should've bread Dragon Breath first). And I found a freaking shiny lotad while looking for ralts, before working on skitty, then volbeat, grimer, and... Wow, I caught a lot of rare stuff. Kingdra is the biggest challenge to me cause hidden power never seems to be bread past physical levels-it is almost always physical and not special. I need Psychic type.

[@think_of_a_storyboard3635]

I get it, homonyms can be difficult to work out, but "bread" is the kind you EAT.

[@rainbowrunner1550]

Here are some more sins: - Brawly is very tough for being only the second Gym Leader. - Wattson can also give you trouble if you don't have Marshtomp. - Brendan/May on Route 110 is one of the tougher rival battles. - Norman and his Slaking. - Winona and her Altaria that likes to spam Earthquake and Dragon Dance. - Tabitha is one of Team Magma's admins. But here's the question: Why is Tabitha a male? I thought Tabitha is a girl's name. - Magma Admin Courtney is never fought at all in Emerald, only in Ruby. In contrast, Tabitha is fought in Ruby as well. And for Team Aqua, both Shelly and Matt are fought in both Sapphire and Emerald. - How were Maxie and Archie THAT stupid to get the wrong orbs to awaken Groudon and Kyogre? - In Ruby/Sapphire, the weather goes awry (with intense sunlight/heavy rain) once Team Magma/Team Aqua awakens Groudon/Kyogre. But in Emerald, Groudon is awakened much earlier than Kyogre. This means that there should be intense sunlight throughout the region, but nothing about the weather is abnormal until Kyogre is awakened. Then it goes to the back and forth between the intense sunlight and heavy rain. - Juan's Kingdra in Emerald. It loves to spam Double Team, and uses Rest along with a Chesto Berry. - Glacia's Walrein tends to get lucky with landing Sheer Cold. - Wallace's Champion team in Emerald not only has his Milotic, but his Ludicolo is also a Double Team spammer. - In the postgame, you can catch Latios/Latias roaming Hoenn, but the other Eon Pokemon is at the event exclusive Southern Island. It requires an Eon Ticket to get to, which is scanned into the game by an E Reader. But E Reader functionality is removed in Emerald, so E Reader data has to be transferred into Emerald by mixing records from Ruby/Sapphire. Chuggaaconroy spent $140 in order to show the fight with Latias on Southern Island in his Emerald LP with how ridiculous things were in order to do that event. - Steven's team can always be tough, including his Cradily (which is super resilient), and obviously his Metagross. - When you challenge Steven in Meteor Falls in Emerald, he mentions battling with you in the Sootopolis Space Center. How did the developers make that mistake? It's Mossdeep that has the Space Center. Besides, Steven should know that because it's his hometown! Good video Chariii5! I'd also like you to sin FireRed and LeafGreen too.
