Iceberg | Pokémon Sun and Moon

The last Pokémon games for the now classic Nintendo 3DS console hit the market with the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon. Not only Mega Evolutions would make a comeback, but also Z-moves would be introduced, as well as the largest selection of Pokémon to date, including the iconic Ultra Beasts.
In this video you'll discover the secrets, easter eggs, and unused content of Pokémon Sun and Moon, as well as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Welcome to the Pokémon Sun and Moon Iceberg.

Ultra Moon is where my living dex is staying. Some real rare, old pokemon in there. Got a 22 year old Rayquaza.

[@RealEisenBerg]

I have Ultra Sun and I had to transfer almost all my Pokémon to Home, but left a couple of them for the memories

[@ADragonFruit440]

I wouldn’t recommend it, pokemon bank won’t be around forever it would probably be best to transfer some of those mons to switch before they’re land locked

[@zonesproductions]

​@Haydenrwyatt I'm dubious as not all of them are transferable and I shouldn't have to pay a subscription to keep them in Home.

[@jaimechavez2655]

​@@RealEisenBerg If you want you can use powersaves 3ds to keep a save file backed up. Transfer all your mons to bank and then use the save backup to revert to the old save. You'll keep your mons in pokemon home and your copy of a gen 7 game.

[@N8-PT]

Good choice 👌 I don’t trust Pokemon Home with storing them

[@tekeelamockingbird]

the most underrated gen ever. i thought it was universally loved for a while lmao. boy was i wrong

[@GiggaN8EX]

I agree. I feel like this is the only other generation that was on par with Gen 5. There's just so much going on and just done so well for the system they are on.

[@Spacecoreinspace]

for me it was the slow start to both ultra and regular s/m just felt really slow compared to even diamond and pearl, i LOVE both ultra and regular after the first trial, but it's a slog to get going

Awesome video! USUM are highly underrated, though, given the context of their release it's understandable. I hope more people play these games at some point, maybe your video will inspire them to do so!

[@RealEisenBerg]

Thanks a lot, Emilia. I think that as time goes by, USUM are drawing more attention and make some fans value a bit more a generation that is not as loved as others. They're not perfect games, but I really wish we had some of its features in more recent games. Greetings!

My favorite Gen, with my favorite Legendary in the thumbnail. This is gonna be a wonderful watch. Sun and Moon mean the WORLD to me, I adore how committed they were to fleshing out the ecology of Pokemon and depicting even the grizzly sides of nature as something beautiful. Man, I need to go to Hawaii again some day...

[@RealEisenBerg]

I hope you enjoyed. Alola is indeed a very beautiful region and one I enjoyed a lot!

I hope you enjoyed your meal!

[@mysteriousmog51]

This iceberg is absolutely amazing I absolutely adore this series and cannot wait to see the sword and shield ice berg. The Alola games are some of the best in the series there really unique the most unique in the series being that there isn't any gyms you can travel through space to get to other dimensions and the games are pretty difficult (especially for Nuzlokes) they have a great soundtrack a lot of the new Pokémon designs are really cool and I would say the full evolution of the starters are the 2nd best starter trio (I like the Paldea starters a bit more). Really looking forward to the sword and shield iceberg while this is an unpopular Opinion I think sword and shield are some of the best mainline games. Also I would definitely pick the 3rd meowth (he has so much personality) way better than the other 2.

[@RealEisenBerg]

I'm sorry but I don't agree at all... with your Meowth choice... About the rest, definitely a lot of passion was put into Sun and Moon in comparison to other Pokémon games. I really liked these games when I played them back in the day, but when you do research and discover all those small details that weren't at all necessary but are still there, you realize Game Freak was thinking about the Pokémon fans more than in other projects. Thanks a lot for your comment!

[@ChrisPTY507]

Damn....that last entry threw me off guard for good! Never expected to see that dark stuff on a pokemon game.

Can't believe SM USUM is so underrated when they have the most entertaining dialogue and jokes of all the series by far.

[@resurrekt7114]

I have an idea for the next iceberg: Darkest day as an allegory to global warming and its consequences This is more so in the way that Rose tries to avert a disaster that would happen in the future, yet once it happens it would be catastrophic. One can compare this to global warming and despite its most dangerous points being far away from us, let's say "a millennium", not taking action now could amplify the disaster. As rose himself said, "We must take action to avert tragedy!" You can interpret this as him trying to warn us to not rest on laurels, even if it seems like the consequences would be in a millennium: we need to take action, lest tragedy will be dire. When talking to Leon he says, "know that the energy required to keep this [...] world alive will be exhausted a millennium from now! The people of Galar today will no longer even exist. What Galar wants today hardly matters! The future is more important than just one day! We must act as quickly as we possibly can! We must take action in order to avert tragedy! So that all can look forward to a better future!" Also adding since I forgot: Galarian Corsola and Cursola seem to be inspired by coral bleaching, a byproduct of global warming, which further adds to the connection

[@Another14-]

New theory: In pokemon legends arceus, the wild pokemon can damage you, the trainer. These ( 1:43 ) are potential "chase animations", which may have been planned for Alola but scrapped at some point. Just a thought : Professor Kukui in Alola allows pokemon to physically ATTACK him. That's literally his method for researching pokemon's moves, which is may a nod to the planned /scrapped trainer damage system for Alola 😮. It just seems diabolical to leave the walking /running animations in the game of this theory is true.

[@MishKoz]

17:43 "...as the battle is barely animated." If nothing else, at least Gamefreak is consistent.

[@emptybottle6357]

I was expecting the theory of UBs being the humans of the game being here. The similarities between Lusamine and Pheromosa, Lilie and Nihilego and Gladion and base Necrozma are especially in your face. And notice, all of them are family. Great video nontheless.

[@taylorcullimore]

Never heard about this until now. Very interesting.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

@taylorcullimore It was very popular around when Lillie and Nihilego were revealed, up until release. Now we know Lillie's resemblance to Nihilego was on purpose, as probably was Lusamine looking like Pheromosa, no shapeshifting UBs needed.

[@emptybottle6357]

@@christiancinnabars1402 You can tell that was the original plan for the game though. It's not just them looking like UBs. Guzma is literally Xurkitree, Hala looks suspiciously close to Guzzlord (especially since they chose to give Guzzlord a sumo stance in its official art) and Gladion has the same hand spasms that base Necrozma has, minus hitting his head.

[@maija_]

Having been a fan of Gen 5 for the longest time, seeing people switch up so fast and realize how great it was after hating it for so long really makes me think about Gen 7. I loved alola and I still think it’s one of the best generations and never understood the hate it got. I can only imagine that in the next few years a good majority of people will finally recognize how great it was the same way they did for unova.

Tbh it seems like most pokemon fans hate the lastest games and then go back to loving the previous games. It'll happen to scarlet and Violet in a couple years lol

[@garchompelago]

Gen 7 is my favorite Gen. -Its the last main series games that all existing Pokemon can exist (either catching/obtaining it within the game or via transfering from old games) -It was also the last main series games where all battle gimmicks exists. (Granted there were only two at the time. Mega evolution and Z-moves). -It is where my favorite starter and strongest VGC starter debuted. Incineroar -Ultra Necrozma were the hardest boss battle at the time. (Assuming you dont cheese the AI using disguise) -Gen 7 pushed the limits of the 3ds with better graphics and better 3d. You know it was made with effort and passion. (I cant say the same for the ruahed Switch main series games. I still cant believe Pokemon SV runs in the same console as Zelda BOTW) -Alolan regional forms were amazing. It is the Gen where the concept of regional forms started. (I hated the fact that only Kanto mons received Alolan forms)
