50 INSANE Cut Pokémon Features That Would Have Changed EVERYTHING

Cut content in Pokemon games is one of the most interesting topics to cover in the Pokemon series, and its one that I often cover as well. In today's video, we are focusing on just that, and looking at a whopping 50 features that were planned for various Pokemon games, that were cut for one reason or another. This is a super interesting one, so I hope you enjoy!

[@benthecat4345]

The sun stone wouldn't make sense for Espeon since it's psychic type and my guess for why they didn't evolve through stones is to test friendship evolution which was introduced in Gen 2 particularly during a specific time of day and with a Pokémon that has a split evolutionary line since Eevee is currently the only one that has a different friendship evolution for both during the day and at night

[@NinjaKIngAce]

Because then they would have to explain why Moon Stones didn't work on Eevee in gen 1

The move combining thing makes a lot of sense when you consider that the third gen anime involved lots of move combinations in contests. Heck, there’s also the Thunder Armor.

[@gachagirl5060]

The thunder armor is bs ash didn't deserve to win

[@MagusAgrippa8]

@@gachagirl5060 I’ve seen one fanfic explain it as ‘giving Swellow access to Pikachu’s Lightningrod Ability’.

@@MagusAgrippa8 That sounds extra dumb, given that if you just watch the cartoon Swellow's ability was shown when it was a Tailow. It has Guts, powering up when it gets a status effect, and it's primary character trait as an individual was "I'm all out of fuks to give" ... It wasn't immune to the electrical blasts, that birb just ate the damage and refused to care.

[@MagusAgrippa8]

@@animorph17 It’s a better explanation than what the anime gave us. Which was no explanation. Ash just somehow knew that if he attacked the sky with Thunder, the lightning would come back down and power Pikachu and Swellow up without either of them taking damage.

[@animorph17]

@@MagusAgrippa8 Thunder going up and then coming back down is how it's consistently worked across the Hoen episodes, with the coolest examples being pikachu basically calling in an airstrike on his own position. Him forgetting thunder to learn volt tackle was actually a combination move too, he used quick attack and thunder at the same time then it turned into a completely different move.

[@marhawkman303]

I also suspect some of the "Trades" you make were originally planned as you buying the pokemon. It would explain why some of the NPC trades are so strangely lop-sided. Seriously, the guy you trade with to get Farfetch'd wants a SPEAROW????? He's trading the rarest non-legendary bird in the game for the second most common(second only to pidgey) That makes NO SENSE! It would however make sense if you're buying a pokemon native to a different region that can't be found in the wild in your current region.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@marhawkman303 Farfetch'd may have been intended to be catchable in the wild. IIRC, it's the only one that is trade exclusive.

@@OtakuUnitedStudio Oh yeah, but even when later versions made Farfetch'd capturable it was one of the rarest Pokemon. It would have made sense for it to be... well.. where it is in later editions. That land area by cycling road. If it was there in the OG Red /green with similar encounter odds to Magmar that'd have made perfect sense.... as an encounter location. The trade still would not have made sense. Ever play Robopon? it plays with the buy/sell monsters idea in ways Pokemon never has. ('cause they're all robots)

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@marhawkman303 I haven't played it, but I AM aware of that. You are right the trade makes no sense, but I think it was added in when they realized there was nowhere else for it to go.

[@marhawkman303]

@@OtakuUnitedStudio Yeah, I suspect that is true. the old Capsule Monsters system seemingly had options to get unique things unavailable anywhere else via buying monsters. When they cut that they had to make them something else. some of the dialogue is a bit.. weird for "trades" too. :D Farfetch'd just.. makes more sense if the guy is selling it. Much like the way Gamecorner works.

I’m VERY curious as to why Umbreon would have evolved with the POISON stone. Was Umbreon originally meant to be a Poison-type Eeveelution?

Yes! It was originally a poison type as well :)

[@PragMagik]

@@HoopsandHipHop well color me surprised! I guess we have 51 facts then 😂

[@Jack_Rakan]

There's also the fact that it's dex entry mentions how poisonous it's skin is. So the change to dark type was probably decided pretty late.

[@GiantBluebird]

When you think about it, Psychic can be seen as a contrast to Poison, so I can totally see Umbreon being a Poison type

[@susanmaxwell1164]

Yes, Umbreon was actually going to be a Poison-type.

[@animorph17]

This brings new light to the fact that a consistent trend with the games is "Getting better" means "Making it more like the anime." ... turns out it's been backwards the whole time, the reason the anime has so many extra features the games say nothing about is that the anime is using cut content.

[@stonemonk549]

13:10 Technically, the featute does actually exist in the Pledge moves. They boost in power in doubles if two different types are used together, and you can get side effects from said moves being used together, Like Water and Grassy Pledge making a Swampy Land(?) for the opposing pokemon, slowing them down to a quarter of their speed, even in generation 8. Tailwind doesn’t even manage to negate the speed drop, which in itself says it all.

[@vivimannequin]

Zekroms and reshirams signature moves also do that

[@toypikachutheoctoling6029]

@@vivimannequin but that's more so of using them one after the other,and the one that gets used last is powered up

[@askiia8713]

Except that the Pledge moves are extremely niche and are so rarely used most people don't even know them. Not to mention it can only be used in doubles which most of the main pokemon games barely feature. It saw some play in VGC formats and when it worked it was cool, but even then it was still extremely rare. The pledge moves are super cool, I just wish there were more of them, they were more accessible, and have easier conditions (such as just needing a certain type to trigger the effect instead of another pledge.)

[@corbincorp9053]

The one thing I found out that still shakes me up is that in Japan Green is actually named blue and blue is named green. The reason it's red and blue for the trainers in the US is because we got red and blue versions while Japan got red and green

[@Hadaron]

Red and Green are actually quite different from Red and Blue. Different sprites, for example, and a ton of bugs that got patched out. It makes the US Red and Blue look stable by comparison.

[@xxShinyLove]

actually, iirc the western red and blue are based on the JP blue version that was an enhanced version of the original red and green versions

[@---oq5kb]

The western release of red and blue are based on all 3 of the releases, but the only thing from the japans blue version (besides the bugfixes) is the cerulean cave layout, the rest of western blue is pulled from japanese green (the encounters, in game trades, etc)

[@DoctorNovakaine]

@@---oq5kb IIRC, the games were based off of the code for the Japanese Blue, because the Japanese Red/Green could not be ported due to stability issues. They split the code for JP Blue into the International Red and Blue, and added back in variations associated with the version differences in the process of that.

[@silviocupica2521]

I think maybe CorbinCorp is talking about the characters "Red" and "Blue" and not the games?

[@inshaneguy]

They should've let us battle Peonia...I always felt like there was no point to her character, you literally could've done everything without her even being in the game at all. Like instead of her getting mad at her dad after you do all the adventures she gets mad at you thinking like a child and being like "You're trying to steal my dad!" or something and battles you in response. Which would show a more childish side to her but also showed that she did want to spend time with her dad just at her own pace.

[@SquirrelASMR]

I think the rainbow thing might just be testing textures for different games like red yellow blue and asian green

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Probably a Super Gameboy feature that was dropped for basically being pointless.

We could see some of these features revived in Scarlet and Violet in Pokémon Like the Battle against the professor did in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Maybe the combined move feature could become Scarlet and Violet’s big battle mechanic.

I would love that again because we haven't battled against the professer since Gen 6 with Professor Sycamore.

[@kwagz3314]

@Ignochomp99 What about Kukui?

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

But we did battle Sycamore and Kukui in XY and SM tho. I take this is tied more closely to the PERSONALITY and the area of study of the professor. Sycamore and Kukui definitely fit the style of being fighters, mostly because their research is about battle-specific gimmicks, Mega evolution and Z-moves, but the other professors seem more interested in studying aspects of pokemons that are either irrelevant to battles or go against the purpose.

@Kwags I didn't forget about Kuiki it was awesome battling the Professer again in Gen 7.

[@TheRealBlazingDiamond]

Dragon Quest also has a similar mechanic.

[@PaintedHoundie]

i doubt thats the reason. half of all kaiju collectors have recruiting mechanics. shin megami tensei is not their competition or their basis to turn to for creative decisions. they likely changed it because the direction they decided to go in was less about recruiting allies and more about capturing/taming animals.

Trainer ranking system would have been amazing in my opinion. We got "kind of" the same thing in PLA, but having a ranking system in a base game would have been amazing nonetheless. Hopefully they bring it in the future. Rank requirements for gym badges. You get ranked up by battling trainers. That way even if you spammed cheats for rare candies you would HAVE to battle trainers in order to build up your rank. I could get down with that 100%.

[@alexmendez3681]

Pretty sure the combining move feature was why the anime got the infamous Thunder Armor sequence when Ash faced Liza & Tate! Thunder Armor was probably a combined move and the anime staff knew about it before it was cut from the games. It's not unlike how the Kalos anime got to use 100% Zygarde... and I'm going to go on a limb and say that Battle Bond Greninja was a cut feature of Pokémon Z where all three starters would have gotten a Battle Bond form and I hope we see those sketched out someday.

For gen 1 a couple misconceptions I want to clear up a little bit. I think the Inn is just for a world building purposes because it was a copy and pasted pokemon center. Then repurposed. If it were a remnant then it wouldn't have had the pc in the corner because it would have preceded pokemon centers. Professor Oak does seem to be the original last boss based on his dialogue. Main part I want to clear up though is tied to the unused encounter. Pokemon Yellow was supposed to be based on the anime. Which means the encounter probably would have been tied to running away from the Spearow with Pikachu like what happens in the anime. They probably scrapped it because it was too much work to go into that much detail so they toned down the anime references. I don't think you ever would have caught a pikachu because in the anime ash was just given the pikachu like all other starters. Great video though. =3

[@BrianMcCorkle2001]

I can't confirm this because I do not own the new BD/SP remakes but, if you have a completed Legends Arceus save on your switch and load up BD/SP, there's supposed to be the Arceus event that you mentioned earlier, where the trainer can battle and catch the Creation Pokemon.

So the pokemon is registered to it's pokeball which is Registered to the trainer. In the games, if you miss the pokemon you lose the pokeball. What if the Lost Pokeball was still registered to the trainer and a wild pokemon happen to find it? You would think the pokeball would have GPS tracking.

[@montgomeryfortenberry]

Yea the lost pokeballs have always been a problem I wish they would outright say that if a pokemon bursts put of a ball, then it destroys the ball they could even say the ball digitally erases itself so were not like ,"should I pick up the 60 pokeballs I threw at this zapdos or just litter?"

Pokemon Amie/Pokemon refresh NEEDS to be a staple of EVERY game from now on 😭😭😭 If I can't pet or groom my pokemon, I don't want the game!!

[@ModernVintageTV0]

You forgot a few. Like that mysterious "Ground Rose Up Somewhere" message from Gen 1 and the fact that Ecrutek City was gonna have the Pharmacy,not Cianwood. Good vid,though.

[@desmondpeach6323]

Gen 1 was to include a surfboard for surfing on water instead of the TM move Surf. (Not sure if someone already mentioned it in the comments)

I didn't know the Azure Flute event was Cut? I played it using a Action Replay.

[@ryguy7227]

For the first one, those are unfortunately likely glitch effects. The badges were originally going to be items and their names are leftover in the final games, but to my knowledge only these two have their functions remaining. I strongly believe these weren't their intended functions as not only can they do that while outside of battle (causing understandable graphical corruption), but why would a badge do that in the first place? And if they did, why wouldn't it be the Boulder Badge that lets you throw rocks? There are still interesting items though, most notably a (apparently pocket-sized) Lapras that allows you to use Surf without a badge, though sadly the name is dummied out in the final release and it appears as ?????.

[@devonteedwards2093]

The cut Pokemon that's shown,I would really love to see the cut content come back

[@1Adrix1]

7:45 - It's such a shame they cut the skateboarding feature, this would've been so cool ...

[@bluegecko13]

Move combination was eventually added with the moves water pledge, fire pledge, and water pledge. It’s unfortunate that they are exclusive to the final evolutions of the starters.

[@Sornbur]

Don't forget about water pledge too

[@GardenWizard.]

Pokémon combo moves sounds so cool 🤩

[@edwardvey3019]

I think it would have been cool to bring the world Cup from gen 5 to gen 8. Imagine an animation similar to the beginning of sword/ shield, where the gym leaders walk out on to the field however in this version they are met with gym leaders from other regions walking towards them from the other side.

[@Lumberjack_king]

12:55 wait like the anime!!! I wish this became a thing in game

[@pn2294]

Just like Thunder Armor

[@artexjay]

Combine Moves exists in pokemon as the elemental pledge moves, fire pledge, water pledge and grass pledge. You should've mentioned that.

[@TheVoidWaits]

11:50 Pokémon Picross does exist as its own game, but from what i understand it is only for the 3DS. The down side is that it has micro-transactions and it heavily encourages you use them

[@aaronsibley]

"THIS WOULD HAVE CHANGED POKEMON FOREVER!" *shows a different color pallet in celadon city*

[@amazingsceptile224]

Some of these cut content would actually be really great for a Pokémon anniversary trilogy.

[@WCJR97]

Loved this ❤

[@XXnlcodXX]

Loooool i instantly thought about 50 uses of the move "cut"

[@9thhokagegoku671]

Being able to name your mom is something we need in a future Pokemon game

[@sailorPinata]

The very long dungeons with a rare pokemon to catch at the end should definitely be implanted

[@pi_xi]

5:20 The Celadon Hotel is actually based on a Pokémon Center and not the other way around. There is even a hidden PC in the space it would be in a real Pokémon Center.

[@FRAPPEFIZZYY]

fun fact: if you name your mother “mommy” in the Gold and Silver Beta, Silver will tease you, saying it’s “such a childish name!”

[@ciidmurkem3822]

Wow I thought this video was going over things about the HM Cut

[@kanekopoint4273]

i wanna see a game of only cut content in yellow and crystal i think it would be cool

[@Reggaetonaldo]

That whole arceus event in gen 4 was such a huge disappointment.

[@MysticMaskMedia]

"Hi! I'm Peonia! I'mma beat ya!" *Sends out egg*

[@thend4427]

Imagine gen 9 has combined moves

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

Well this video about cute content from pokemon was pretty dope,and I like it

[@bricknolty5478]

Replacing Kris with Lyra was the stupidest decision on here.
