Finding this on my lunch break is absolutely epic after working the last 5 hours

[@RealEisenBerg]

Thanks a lot for your constant support. Enjoy your break!

[@austinlee4156]

Same, absolutely a win for a Tuesday

[@xavier_camacho1]

I hope Pokemon Z-A will answer most of these questions

[@therealmelonman885]

Can't describe how happy I am you made this after trying to find a gen 6 iceberg for a solid year

[@RealEisenBerg]

It had to be done 😊 Thank you for watching!

[@TriNity-GER]

I really really loved X and Y even though they were one of the weakest games. The plot was awesome and I loved the more adult player characters. I wish we would've gotten Pokemon Z or at least X and Y 2...

[@taylorcullimore]

This was enjoyable. X & Y had so many bizarre elements, and touched on all of them. Subscribed.

[@fauxselection]

Tears man, who the hell was out there copyrighting the happy birthday song😭😭😭

[@justinburchette]

This was the Generation that I got back into Pokémon (after having not played since Gen. II lol), so it has a very special place in my heart. I honestly miss these days a lot - when the 3DS was still alive and thriving. I miss going to McDonald's with my friend just to get some StreetPass(es?) lol. I miss the daily Mirage Spots from ORAS. I miss the Super-Secret Bases, the PGL, and Mega Evolution. I miss all that stuff... *_especially_* the Pokémon Z that we never got. I miss that one *a lot* lol! 😭 Man... these were some really great times. Awesome video, my friend! 🙂

[@RealEisenBerg]

The good old days. I also came back to Pokémon (specifically to ORAS) and it was such an amazing experience. If that game had the Battle Frontier, it would have been such an amazing experience, but Masuda said people aren't that patient anymore to complete such demanding challenges. Have an awesome day!

[@justinburchette]

@@RealEisenBerg Yeah, dude! He also said people were too dumb to figure out the Azure Flute / Arceus event in Gen. IV lol 🤦🏻‍♂️ He makes some incredibly... _questionable_ decisions sometimes 😑 I really, *really* wish the Battle Frontier would have been included in ORAS! That would have been so amazing! 😭 They were still some great games, though! Have an awesome day as well! 🙂

[@keathaneddins8233]

10/10 watching this iceberg on my birthday. Thanks for the nice little surprise midway through the video haha

[@diretrip]

I know what I'm about to watch while editing

[@StonedSammieSue]

Oh wow now that I know you def give off pokemon fan vibes

[@RealEisenBerg]

Your content is awesome! Welcome to the channel!

[@kevinwhigham2355]

X and Y were my first pokemon games, and I'm also watching this on my birthday. Glad to have found this video when I did!

[@migu6528]

You make the some of the best icebergs, well spoken, and you add a lot of extra tidbits to the entries

[@alexlancaster7885]

bro the timing on the release of this video is wild

[@infinityJKA]

Kalos has so many weird detaols and underdeveloped lore points. I hope a future remake fpr Legends Arceus-style Kalos game will expand on it

[@itsjohnnyboi]

This comment aged well.

[@L1nk2002]

Yeah we all know the alien plot line makes too much sense to be fake. Another point that supports this idea is Zygarde. It's always cited as the pokemon that defends the environment, but its actual role in the story is never clear, neither in the 6th or 7th gen games or in the anime. If the plot, instead, was the alien one it would make sense to have the Zygarde be the one that will protect Earth from the machine of destruction and from Xerneas and Yveltal.

[@JunkHERO99]

*If you do an ice berg for sword and shield can you include the following:* *During SwSh development there were leaks of “armored evolution” for the gen 8 games, however, we never got them. Instead we got them in gen 9 as part of the Charcadet line.* *Another leak during SwSh development was the original storyline of the gen 8 games. Originally Leon was a fraud who had all of his matches rigged by the Chairman. It wasn’t until our player character showed up that Leon was exposed. In the original storyline the rival characters played a bigger role. It’s the original reason why Hop got depressed midway through the games when he would’ve found out. It’s also why Piers doesn’t use dynamax because he refused to be a part of the rigged matches, he was using Team Yell to help Marnie get to the champions tournament and expose the chairman/ Leon. It’s also why Bede was dropped by the chairman because Bede threatened to expose the chairman out of jealousy of Leon, which is why Bede originally thought poorly of Hop.* All of these were leaked by legitimate leakers at the time, some KZbinrs covered the leaks as wellz

[@RealEisenBerg]

I absolutely will and thank you for your suggestions! I'll mention you in the Gen 8 iceberg

[@JunkHERO99]

@@RealEisenBerg Thanks and I really enjoy your content!!

[@taebeebee]

i wonder if part of the alien subplot was reused in ultra sun and moon with those blue alien dudes! i forget their names theyre the ones with poipole:)

[@RealEisenBerg]

XYSider mentioned something about gym leaders and sports (This being used in Pokémon Sword and Shield) so I want to believe there's some truth behind the myth.

[@facelessnameless]

Great video. Would be awesome if the series was in a playlist

[@RealEisenBerg]

It will be 😁

[@cotton9907]

New video just in time to watch at work 😋 love your content ❤

[@donnyf88]

Awesome video again! Lots of new facts! Great job!

[@austinlee4156]

Usually watch these during work, but got held up today, but thanks for the silver lining for today

[@prankstergengar4148]

18:57 seeing this now that legends Z-A is coming out, is making me wonder if there really was an “A” legendary all along

[@RealEisenBerg]

Zygarde complete form reminds me of an A, but maybe that's a stretch. Greetings!

[@hier.]

Great video! It’s actually crazy how undercooked XY were, while it began pretty much all of my problems with current Pokémon, I did still quite like the game and the region. After whatever they do for the gen 5 remakes, looking really forward to the gen 6 ones.

[@ZombieMan2090]

hell ye been waiting for this after the b/w iceberg!

[@silverdust9176]

My god the last one feels like it was repurposed to some extent for Sun and Moon, and it was posted even before ORAS was a thing. It truly is real

[@lekkishaa]

now waiting for sun and moon iceberg, i love these videos, keep it up

[@RealEisenBerg]

I hope all the hours I put into those games are reflected in the next iceberg!

[@garchompelago]

This was my 1st Pokemon 3d experience. Gen 6 is my 2nd favorite Gen next to Gen 7.

[@ILostMyOreos]

Another great video! It feels like there was a lot of really weird stuff and lost potential in XY. It almost feels like they would have been more in line with the serious tone of gen5 originally, and maybe had a hard pivot to the much softer, casual-oriented game it released as. That would explain a lot regarding the rush to get it out the door.

[@missemry3864]

prince of jamaica here. dont stop. i love the vids

[@SOLROX_]

Pokémon x and yberg

[@daelium89]

I have a theory with the catchable legendary Pokemon (like Mewtwo) and why they can be caught in future games even though the previous protagonists caught them. Basically I think that they are so powerful, they can just leave whenever they want. So you catch them and they willingly fight with you until they get bored and decide to leave I guess

[@legendsteelix9880]

The last one was wild.To think they were planning an alien invasion then drop that to just use it for the next gen games.The idea that team flare was mixed up with people was shown in the adventures manga.

[@RealEisenBerg]

I actually didn't know that about the manga. I'll read about it

[@crackers0413]

Been replaying gen IV games since the announcement about 3ds services going online. May have to look into an X and Y play thru after finishing Platinum

[@philipmurphy2]

Let's go, Pokémon X and Y Iceberg guys

[@kirbyhasn9047]

The decrease of the difficulty in newer Pokémon games are like double edged sword and lack of good post game content may be good and bad depending. Some Pokémon player would like to play a difficult challenge in form hard-normal gameplay in both gyms,elite four and battle tower for more expirced players. For newer/inexperienced who don't want extreme hard gameplay and challenges may get bored because of it. and for ingame reasons in older Pokémon games were kinda hard depending in many factors such the choose Pokémon you use and older Pokémon and moveset not being overpowered with very high sats and level up moveset with no overpowered stab options.

[@chelseyfarris4446]

Lysandre was one of my favorite villains in mainline games. Truly evil!

[@FTChomp9980]

He was Ginger Evil Mustache Man for Pokemon X and Y.

[@jazzercise300]

Not having a pokemon Z is one of pokemon's biggest mistake imo. That was the beginning of the modern GF trend of pumping out games on a strict timeline. They wanted to put out new games (gen 7) for its 20th anniversary. Which is dumb because pokemon Z, a 3DS pokemon game, woulda been on point and probably coulda been up there with emerald, platnium and B2W2 as far as best games go while being a good bookend to two decades of pokemon. They never get it right the first time, the third version always helped remedy that. Idk they f****d up. Hated X & Y when it came out (I preordered it after B2W2 and stopped playing after the first gym since it was stupid easy) but its aged really well and I appreciate a lot of aspects of it now. That said ORAS really carries gen 6. My favorite remakes but keep in mind my soulsilver glitches out when i enter Ilex forest. Loved FRLG as a kid but so far (without finishing HGSS) ORAS ate my favorite remakes. Love the mega latios/as as a way to fly around the region. Im also biased since I love Hoenn the most so to have a Hoenn game with some of my favorites added like Volcarona, Dragalge, Garchomp, Ho-oh, Froslass and others is amazing. Just wish they had the battle frontier. I really dont think GF fully acknowledges their western audience and they make games primarily for Japanese children whereas the majority of their fanbase is 20/30 year old Americans and people from western europe. You see this in how they distribute mystical pokemon solely in Japan too in the post-Gamestop/handheld system pokemon era. I always felt like Legends Arceus was them throwing a bone to the older, western fan base. A "darker" (LMAO) and more mature (also LMAO) game for aging pokemon fans. I dont think they realize we're their bread and butter. But they also make most their money of merch and the TCG so they can afford to half ass the games which sucks for older fans i.e. the people with actual purchasing power.

[@Yukisomahira]

Literally thought about the History channel guy meme "ALIENS" hahah also adding that the psychic type gym leader Olympia has a Galaxy/Space theme, and the city where is located is called Anistar, which comes from the plant "Star Anise", that logically, has a star shape! Great video as usual mate!

[@RealEisenBerg]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can definitely see something about that scrapped plot. Maybe we need another giga leak to find the truth!

[@NiNGalaxU2]

Where did you find that Out of Bound Power Plant video? I was waiting for something like this for so long but even now I can't find a video on it on KZbin

[@RealEisenBerg]

You can find it on Reddit, I think by searching ''Kalos Power Plant''

[@Kevinblue035]

does anyone have a link to the XYSider post from the end of this video? i've been searching for it for years but havn't been able to find it anywhere

[@Umbra173]

About there not being a pokemon Z.....😅

[@RealEisenBerg]

What a time to make an iceberg about X and Y, right? 🤣

[@tamas9554]

3D models don't make the use of different poses obsolete, its just that Gamefreak doesn't put that much effort into these games, and the console may also be a contributor. Pokémons with unique posesm great models and vibrant colors aren't impossible in 3D at all, but there is a reason for why these games are dissapointing in some ways

[@Aeosynum]

Hey siri set a remind to watch this episode on my birthday.

[@RealEisenBerg]

Happy Birthday! Just in case Siri reminds you to watch this video on your birthday 😃

[@currentdeadbydaylightplayer]

X and y is the best Pokemon game and you cannot get me to think otherwise

[@nana_tsukakushi]

kalos deserve a proper good and COMPLETE game, like the speculated Z version or atleast a good remake in a near future, as we get closer to remakes from gen 5 i bet in a near future we can have a remake and with my big expectations i wish isn't a 1:1 remaster and a remake with much more content.

[@Karnagex1696]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@michaelmaynard937]

In Pokémon X and y you actually have four trainers that can mega evolve

[@chiefkeefbiggestfan]

Kalos feels haunted bro idek

[@Ryanpb86]

There are two things that make me particularly sad regarding Gen 6: the "we MUST make it easy and remove the very post game optional content that fans loved back in the day" (ie, removal of Battle Frontier) and retconning Mega evolution into something that causes extreme pain into the Pokemon (after initially going "oh the strong bond between Pokemon and its trainer allows it to become stronger!")

[@Theserperiortrainer497]

Wasn't it implied mega evolution wasn't liked in aloala due to it being unfamiliar colress states that bond still is needed

[@NecromancyForKids]

Doesn’t it seem rather counter productive for an alien species to send an agent to a planet to destroy it... because it is destroying itself?

[@autismusmaximus4933]

how come there is no mention about the TM protect being used as an obvious dirty joke

[@JuanLeon-oe6xe]

From magnifying the issue with rhe lack of difficulty in this franchise and deadish looking NOT DEAD pokemon... to outdated memes... Yeeeesh... P.D. Parece que somos paisanos.

[@nothisismyhandle]

The "people are busy" logic is so surprisingly tone deaf for the higher ups of TPC... If this was true, games like BoTW, Dark Souls, Skyrim, DOTA etc. would not be profitable at all... Nowadays people have proven they will buy whatever shit TPC releases, no matter if they already know it will be disappointing, so this would be true as well for a "hard" game. People will still buy it because it's Pokémon. At the end of the day it wasn't a tone deaf comment or a mistake, it's an excuse to make less effort knowing that people will buy the game anyways.

[@FoxyPercival714]

Interesting concept of Mega Evolution was some speculate from to Rotom dex entries of them in gen 7 that cause pain. My theory was that so much energy causing warping of cells... Radiation. Was playing a lot of fallout 4 at the time.

It's my birthday! :))))

You missed out on the trans NPC that you can encounter in the Battle Maison. Beauty Nova implies in her dialogue that she was previously a Black Belt, and a Black Belt NPC is only reserved for males. By all accounts, she is canonically a trans character and so far the only one in the core games.

[@Theserperiortrainer497]

Correction the pla and gen 9 models are different most obviously with flying pokemon
