I feel as though Rotom was originally intended to be legendary. Rotom had the legendary battle music, it’s grouped towards the end of the Pokédex with the rest of the legends, it has a unique way of encountering it and it has the multiple forms. I think it wasn’t until later down the line when they decided to change it.

[@Alice-un3kq]

I totally thought it was when I was a kid, and even to this day still regard it as a pseudo legendary at the very least.

[@sebastianschulze2618]

I dont think so even in gen 4 you could breed with Rotom there was Never legandary Pokémon you could breed with

[@NosteralGaming]

@@sebastianschulze2618 True but so could Manaphy, both introduced in Gen 4

[@sebastianschulze2618]

@@NosteralGaming Yes, you're referring to Manaphy, which is inspired by the Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish that can revert its cells to potentially live indefinitely. As a result, Manaphy doesn't produce Manaphy eggs but a weaker version. Rotom can be bred normally. I think It might have been a test for the Zorua treatment. While not legendary in the first part of Generation 5, Zorua was challenging to obtain (only via Event) but breedable and Not legendary

Technically there is one practical use of diamond dust, it’s the only way you can start the battle against Red on Mt Silver without hail active

[@extremempsilvamps5851]

23:53 There is also a third theory: The Pokémon Arceus, which is captureable, are the "hand" of the original Arceus. If you analyze the original rendering, the four legs and the head form the shape of a hand. So we kind of never capture the real Arceus, just one of the hands

[@ItsCenrryTH]

This is possibly disproven by Legends: Arceus since the guy gifts you an avatar of himself after you beat him. This means that all of the previous Arceus that the player could catch in the previous games are just clones/avatars and therefore not the real thing.

[@AkamexAris1023]

I'll never get over Flint having a Steelix, Lopunny and DRIFBLIM as a Fire Elite Four Member. It's excusable in Generation 1 with Agatha and Lance but in Generation 4?

[@botanicalabe]

Idk why people complain about mix matching types in gen 4 when it makes it cooler, especially if it’s like a signature pokemon. I think someone like Jasmine using Ampharos or Iris using draconic like Pokemon is raw

[@Functional_Human12]

I mean I think there was a reason for it besides the dex being small Drifblim is a HOT air balloon I forgot steelix's reason And Lopunny, is, well.. See the resemblance to hot and hot

[@MishKoz]

I still sometimes forget that Rotom is just a regular-ass Pokemon 😭 like why would they give it such a cinematic intro 22:06 a weird method of finding it, AND the literal legendary music???

[@SillyLilFella]

Seriously, I had a heart attack when I accidentally found it for the first time as a kid. For the LONGEST time, I genuinely believed it was legendary.

[@emrickazor2610]

Always thought it was a mythic back in the day. Only until like a few years back I wasn't aware that it's just regular.

[@acorr14]

I'm almost positive it was intended as a legendary, but they walked it back in later generations.

[@Luna-bb1wq]

I think the encounter is cooler with legendary music I don’t know why everyone finds it weird or complaining about it, it’s just a cool encounter in Gen 4 , get over it

[@MishKoz]

@@Luna-bb1wq Confusion ≠ complaining

[@lancerotalucardhd8793]

The funny thing about the Beta Sprites is that Beta Giratina was'nt even supposed to be Giratina in the first place,according to the name it was given which was "Chimairan",so the concept of Giratina came much later after they dropped "Chimairan" design but we can see some elements of " Chimairan" present in Giratina,especially since both have 6 legs,i love those Beta stuff,by far the Beta of Gold/Silver and the ones of Diamond/Pearl are the ones that i liked the most

[@Alex-mq6qi]

They should've had some more Fire-types in Pokemon DP. Either of Vulpix, Growlithe, Magmar or Houndoom could fit very well in the region or perhaps even Torkoal in the Fuego Ironworks

[@lasercraft32]

33:39 One problem with this idea, in Legends: Arceus, Dialga and Palkia's Origin Forms have that same shape around their bodies... Even though they are stronger in this form compared to normal. So it probably _isn't_ a "restraining" thing.

[@Yukisomahira]

Also, game-wise, you can raise friendship simply by battling with it, and ofc, trying to avoid it fainting so it won't lose too much friendship, so, not that impossible for iceman Cyrus to have a Crobat Nice Video bro!

[@ajflink]

If you have a Pokémon Pearl/Diamond connect to a Pokémon Platinum game in the Grand Underground, the sprite for the Platinum player on Diamond/Pearl will display as the Diamond/Pearl sprite instead of the Platinum. On Platinum, both versions of the player sprites are present.

[@lasercraft32]

Darkrai not being a mythical originally might explain why its so closely related to Cresselia (who _isn't_ a Mythical Pokemon).

[@RealEisenBerg]

It makes even more sense now that you mention its relation to Cresselia, a non-mythical Pokémon. Greetings!

[@andylopez0731]

i have a pocket book of a sinnoh dex from the 2000’s and it states rotom is a legendary, but now they changed it );

[@garchompelago]

Gen 4 is probably one of my favorite gen because it introduced the literal Pokemon God and it is where Cynthia and Garchomp debuted. Cynthia is regarded as the strongest Champion in the games. As of BDSP, her 2nd rematch and Level 88 Garchomp towers above Red as her team has perfect IVs, EVs and competitive held items and sets. Garchomp is my favorite Pokemon. From Pokemon Y to Pokemon Violet, my Jolly 5IV HA Garchomp has all the ribbons. (I couldnt start at Gen 4 as there is no HA back then and there was no way to change abilities back then. There is also no ribbons on Gen 5 so I started with Y, Gen 6) Also, did you know that in PLA Arceus himself stated that the Arceus we see and capture is nothing but a portion of himself? Just an avatar of sorts. Which means, just like Complete Kyurem, true form Arceus is yet to be revealed.

[@ToaArcan]

RE: Arceus' name, I say it exactly how Silvally's ability is named: Arr-Kay-Ess. Arceus' name is derived from "Arcane" and "Arch-" (as in ancient, like archaeology and such) and "Deus." There's an "Ay" sound in both the full words in there. Plus it's fun to just be kinda annoying like that. Anyway, Gen IV best Gen. I love it in all its forms, yes even BDSP, I always have a blast playing it.

[@Rikisballs]

This. I was gonna mention about Sillvallys ability being a reference to Arceus as well.

[@MishKoz]

About the 1000 arms of Arceus thing: I've heard a theory that the Arceus that we can catch _is_ one of its arms. The only evidence for this is that Arceus somewhat resembles a human hand. But it also explains why a regular human can catch it, it's just a tiny piece of Arceus that it's allowing humans to interact with.

[@egoDario]

It's explained in LPA

[@themarshmellow6466]

I like it how some of the early gen 3 sprites are actually somewhat different from what we got in the end, and some of them are just Microsoft Paint versions of the current ones. I’m not trying to make fun of anything though, it just goes to show that some awesome ideas have humble beginnings.

Arceus is probably an non living body build from unknown and held constraint by the real one and it's power isn't fully unleashed as that would be a little too strong

[@Sage-zs9qy]

I think it's more likely that the description of Arceus's thousand arms is a reference to the Buddhist deity Kannon, worshipped as a savior figure in Japanese mythology. Kannon's "Senju-Sengen" form is named for its thousand arms and thousand eyes.

[@NickSharpx]

Very good, but I wish you'd have included stuff like the red chain as a key item (unobtainable), seen it a long time ago in an Italian tutorial on how to perform the elite 4 void surf glitch to catch Darkrai using an R4 flashcard, he would show how to switch the save file from the Italian rom to the Japan Japanese one, and he had it in his key items while scrolling down to assign the explorer kit to Y... He also had a bunch of other weird key items which I can't remember... Obviously cheated, but makes you wonder if these items were supposed to be obtained by the player, changing the story. Great coverage anyway, blasted this one right after discovering you from then RSE video which in just the first 2 minutes I was blown away at the surface level lmao, very good researching ^_^

That Arceus theme was epic.

[@nintendo8127]

How about that there are 4 ice type Pokemon in DP? In the cold region? And Abomasnow (don’t know the spelling) gets outclassed of Garchomp, so you need Weavile or your own Garchomp to beat Cynthia’s Garchomp without risk for your other Pokemon.

[@SleepyBasin]

I think ARK-E-US works best. Since it has Arc in the name and its a God (Noah was told to build an Ark) I think its fitting. Also the other sounds like a british slang for butt (Arse) which would be unfortunate... Plus the phone in PLA would be called the Arse Phone which definitely does not sound right at all lol Add: Also, I find Arc especially fitting as of PLA since you're eventually told by God (Arceus) to round up all the Pokemon (animals) which does bear a resemblance to Noah having to bring 2 of every creature aboard the Ark in the bible. Perhaps there's nothing to it but (as you mentioned) the game also features a Church

[@DAVINNIA314]

What if for Rotom and such Pokémon like the Lucario line, the Zoroark line and the Volcarona line, we call them Pseudo/Semi/Sub/Minor-Mythical Pokémon? Since, you know, Pseudo-Legendary is already in use for something different and I believe Semi/Sub/Minor-Legendary is used for Legendaries that are not the box art ones. Those were definitely meant to be special, yet aren't legends or mythicals since they can breed normally and are rare or unique in-game but are not distributed by event so no mythicals yet again. So, to respect that specialness, I propose we call them Pseudo/Semi/Sub/Minor-Mythical Pokémon!

Out of those options I prefer Pseudo-Mythical, BTW

I can’t be the only one who really isn’t a big fan of arceus’ implementation? The series kinda did a creationism with its execution of the Pokémon. I like to imagine that it isn’t the creator of the universe but rather a creature that can harness the power and of everything.

[@NoisyBones]

I think that Arceus is meant to represent the actual real world people who created Pokemon. Why else would it show us real world photos? And if we think about it, even the unown (letters that form words which form stories) imply this since they clearly played a part in shaping reality.
