My first Pokémon game was Sapphire. I was only 11 and I was so hyped opening it up in my mom’s car. Good times

[@okaminokuro]

That was me getting blue version after going with my mom to get my grandmother from the airport. Both are gone now so i treasure those memories all the more.

[@AshRektum]

I got silver when I was only 4 and I didn't quite understand what I was doing but I learned enough that when I got Ruby in 2003, I fell in love

[@Lola1912]

Mine was fire red that was given to me by my neighbor, same one who also gave me his brother's silver copy. I still have those games and still live next door to them

[@gargoylegutz]

[@kattriella1331]

Kyogre was also my beauty contest champion. XD It's like its moveset was MADE for contests.

[@krisrainbow2350]

The image of a sea god participating in a beauty contest is hilarious, your Kyogre went from trying to flood the entire region, to the stage. Getting nervous and losing turns over simple moves like quick attack and double team.

[@thogameskanaal]

I think Masuda's comment that battle facilities would only be enjoyed by a small group of people compared to in the past holds some water. I believe starting with generation 5 games, they added all sorts of survey and telemetry into their online services (Game Sync) that can track what game features and areas players explore the most and spend the most time with. It's curious that starting with generation 6, a lot of main stays just didn't return and are still missing from mainline games today.

[@MeekMallard]

I doubt it. It would have been incredible, there’s way more “old” Pokémon fans than new and post game shit is always very valued

[@SpartanH90]

I consider myself an expert on Hoenn facts, but I still managed to learn a couple of new things in this video. Well done!

Starting the video now. We'll see.

[@thomasnorton4015]

In 2004 My first Pokémon game was ruby the beldum I got from Steven was silver colored and I didn’t even realize it was shiny until realizing my metagross was totally different from Stevens 🥹🥹🥹

[@RealEisenBerg]

I actually had to soft-reset like 90 times to get a shiny Beldum. You were pretty lucky!

[@Hawlk12]

Its funny to see this because I am currently shiny hunting beldum

[@Papi_prime]

Damn that’s wild bro, super lucky 🍀

[@chardaskie]

When i was a kid before knowing what a shiny even was I gota purple Mudkip at the start of one of my playthroughs and turned off my gameboy to reset because i assumed it was glitched.

[@chardaskie]

@@atomdecay Nice! Starters are the easiest Shinys to get so it isn't surprising others have done similar stuff. I bet kids do it now with new games

[@thirdstrike000000]

I like to think that the Gen 1 and 2 themes were made so the composers could get a good feel on how the music for Hoenn should sound.

[@Kebein.]

they were created for debug and testing reasons.

[@KazShiro]

​@@Kebein.Pretty much, the hoenn music being done in diamond and pearl was the same situation in testing the soundfont. Though its kinda a shame they werent done in the b/w soundfont.

[@combatseawolf]

0:44 idk if this is a concept art or what but that looks sick

[@CODA96]

Abandoned Ship was always the most mysterious area aside from the regi tombs for me. The music and the general vibe felt more like some Resident Evil area, instead of a pokemon one. Creepy place for sure.

[@RealEisenBerg]

There are a lot of things in Pokémon whose background is unknown, and the S.S. Cactus is one of them. What happened to it, or the S.S. Anne might forever remain a mystery.

[@skylerlafine1628]

This reminds me I had friend that had Retinitis pigmentosa so he could read braille telling me all I needed to get the reggies.

[@stevenshockley4237]

Nice, I bet that was so cool for him. Often times especially with gaming, us blindies feel left out. Luckily I still have enough vision to play the games I like, for the most part.@@skylerlafine1628

[@kattriella1331]

The braille portions always bring back fond memories of my friends at the Boys and Girls club. I was the oldest in our friend group (and the only girl, but that's neither here nor there), and we would rotate what we were doing according to age groups. We were allowed to print one page during our computer lab time, and I remember was assigned the task of looking up the braille alphabet and printing a copy of it so we could decode the messages in our games. I kept that page folded up in my bag with my game stuff so we could use it when we needed it.

[@VelvetIcematoro]

About Looker on the S.S. Anne, he's most likely a Looker from a different universe, a "Faller" like Annabel in Sun and Moon, as they were found in the exact same circumstances, both without most of their memories, and in the 2 games that make direct mention to parallel universes too.

[@kenjyn76]

Aren't the events of Hoenn and Kanto around the same time? I took Looker's appearance here to mean that that was how Looker came to be in this universe in the first place, and the other games occur later

[@VelvetIcematoro]

@@kenjyn76 Irrelevant for a Faller, this is not the Looker we know, but a Looker from an unknown Universe. We can't even say for sure the Ultra Wormholes don't also send you back or further in time.

[@kattriella1331]

I kind of miss the days when the only information we had about events and secrets were playground rumors. With how easy it is to access the Internet nowadays, the days of Mew hiding under the truck and taking the rocket to the moon to catch Deoxys are no more . . . It's kind of sad, in a way, and bittersweet. We have an infinite wealth of knowledge available to us at all times, but that also means that the younger generations won't get to experience the thrill of playground rumors and spending hours trying over and over again to get a trick a friend has told us about to work.

Gen 3 is my favorite, if I could be transmigrated or reincarnated or sent to the Pokémon world, I’d want to be in hoenn. My favorite Pokémon is Metagross and my second is Swampert.

[@bip_bip_lechuga]

Wow my memory is crap. I thought too much water was a meme before ign did that review of Oras.

[@victorandrade7940]

I just realized that Mr. Fuji is the creator of Pokemon. Mew represents Pokemon as a whole and Team Rocket represents the evil investors and people in control of the Pokemon Company. Mr. Fuji the creator of Pokemon eventually realized that Team Rocket would end up using Pokemon for "profit". The message left on Faraway Island basically proves that. He hopes that the Pokemon Franchise ends up in good hands.

Something often not remembered is that the manuals that came with some versions of the games actually had braille guides included with them, but of course if you got these games from secondhand stores which sold loose cartridges then you'd just have to be lucky enough to have access to an internet connection in the mid 2000s lol

[@Alex-mq6qi]

44:44 to be entirely fair, in retrospect, the steps that you take to actually get to the event locations without cheating devices (i.e. the Pomeg glitch) are a series of convoluted and questionable steps LMFAO

[@ArcardyArcardus]

Why doesn't nobody look into the instruction booklet of ruby/sapphire? There is a braille table in it with a note saying that you may need it. READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET!!!

[@deg8517]

probably cos they had parents that tossed out the packaging including the manual as soon as u opened it because in their minds it was trash 😔

Probably because something like 70% of players at least play on PC or used cartridges, maybe even used boxes without the extras

[@supermariovideogamer]

Fan theory : Ruby/Brendan, Gold/Ethan, Diamond/Lucas, are all Red, after being defeated by “Gold”(future version of Red) Red runs into Celabi and Celebi takes him back in time. Red awakens way before he ran into the grass and got stopped by oak, time passes and with Red’s memory still being that of a pokemon champion he convinces his mother to move to Johto to try and find/befriend Gold. (Important for later) Red’s father is offered a job as Gym Leader, but in Hoenn) Time passes and with his now old yellow backpack gains the nickname “Gold”, in Red’s head still searching for the guy who defeated him disliked being called by his name and decided to buy a new bag. He soon receives a email from professor elm about a big discovery. The events of GSC happen as in game, eventually once Red/“Gold” defeats Blue and is to go to Mt Silver he realizes he has to face himself, that he has been Gold the whole time. The same events occur as in the beginning except after Celebi returns, Gold asks if he can go around again. Celebi granted his wish but already created a paradox, if Red moved as a child how was he on mt silver to fight himself later, time gets split in two, the energy that was expelled by this split in timelines were absorbed by evolutionary stones. With time being split so is Red, one in each timeline. If ORAS differs from RSE other than megas I’ll go over the differences later. Red is returned to Johto 4 years before Elm’s research discovery(Togepi Egg). his father Norman is offered a new job as a gym leader inexplicably, Red convinces his mom to move with his dad to hoenn.

[@gyga100]

47:33 the description kinda matches with Gorochu,maybe the tought of bringing him back for Gen2???

[@kangelenjoyer]

Just watched the last one, uh, yesterday. That's great timing. I just beat this game (Emerald) for the first time recently as well. It was really good, but the lack of physical special split will never not be grating.

[@breklaberif7553]

Using bite on a wall like cloister or steelix is pretty satisfying in gen 3 though

[@christiancinnabars1402]

@breklaberif7553 And running the elemental punches on mons like Alakazam is pretty cool. It makes me wish some moves would still have some way to work with pre-phys/spec split movesets (RIP Sceptile losing its literal signature move).

About the unused tracks on the 6th minute, I think they're placeholders, to test the system's sounds, choose the better instruments and stuff. That's what I think they did, since using an old already existing track is easier. Don't take me for certain, it's just my assumption.

23:56 This is incorrect. Trainers in Colosseum can send out Shiny Pokémon. However, the shinyness is based on the trainers ID and SID. When you capture the Pokémon, its OT changes to your TID and SID and it loses its shinyness (in all but the rarest of circumstances) 29:06 That probability is actually 0. Since Pokémon generation is not truly random, there is no possible way to generate those Spinda.
