One more thing about Black 2 and White 2, another house in Humilau city has an old lady with a Mienfoo that you are able to watch for money, and it follows you around. The trash can in her house is empty, but if you check it while the Mienfoo is following you, the old lady will scold you and call you a bad influence on her Pokemon thinking you're encouraging it to look in the garbage. It was another charming little moment along with the rest of the game's "trash".

This is a large amount of conjecture and filling in gaps, but I like the idea that the Antidote in the Old Chateau was not an attempt to prevent a poisoning at dinner, but an attempt to heal the little girl of her mystery ailment (which failed, given that she's currently haunting the place.) The best guess as to what the mystery ailment really WAS seems to be that Darkrai came through, and like the little boy you cure with the Lunar Wing, the little girl long ago fell into a nightmare-filled coma. Supporting evidence: the current victim of the Nightmare is a small child and the player isn't much older than the child, maybe a few years. This indicates that maybe children are more sensitive to Darkrai's power even when Darkrai has long-since left an area. The little girl ghost in the Chateau is in the right age-range as a result. Further, the Member's Card that unlocks the Darkrai Event on Newmoon Island was last marked "50 years ago." Perhaps the little girl's family was close to finding the root cause and got into the Harbor Inn, but were pursuing the wrong half of the equation. Darkrai can't stop causing nightmares. that's why it runs away constantly - only Cresselia can stop Darkrai's Nightmare. Having failed, the little girl passed away and the family abandoned the Chateau some 50 years ago. As to why the butler still hangs around... unfinished business? Guilt over his inability to help the family's daughter? Or perhaps... perhaps Darkrai had nothing to do with it after all perhaps *the butler did it.* Edit to add: in Platinum the character of Charon gets added to Team Galactic, and his notes on Rotom from his childhood are found in the Chateau. He's an old man now, so clearly the ENTIRE family didn't get poisoned back in the day if it was a poisoning event. If it was a tragedy as above, then Charon would have been dragged from his family home (and the Rotom he made friends with/invented for) when the family abandoned the Chateau. Possibly he got ignored for so long he had to befriend the Rotom because his little sister was incurably ill.

One thing about the Great Ball in the SS Anne: as a kid I always used it to catch an Abra in Cerulean. Not sure where I picked this up, but I thought that this was common knowledge and that you were canonically meant to use it for Abra. I ALWAYS did it and the Great Ball NEVER failed to catch the Abra first try. Then I'd take it to trade for the Mr. Mime. So in my mind the Great Ball on the SS Anne was intended as the start of a subquest.

One video idea I think could be interesting is exploring secrets that HMs are needed to find. I’ve always thought that HMs were a double edged sword, in that they were annoying to have but encouraged backtracking and unlocked really cool areas sometimes, like the water route off of route 1 in BW. I’d like to see which game had the most to find with HM backtracking, and if the benefits of backtracking outweighed the annoyance of having HM moves when they weren’t required by progression.

I think Let's Go pretty much solved this issue, making HMs into just little abilities your partner pokemon can learn without taking up precious move slot space on any of your pokemon and eliminating the need for HM slaves.

That way HM abilities are still unlockable but all of the drawbacks are now gone, making backtracking incentive really good.

I love how that first useful trash can feels like it was designed to seem like a bullshit playground rumor, like imagine if in 2nd grade your friend came up to you and was like: “Dude I found an item in a trash can once!” “Nuh uh! I just checked every trash can in the game and none of them had anything!” “Uhm ummm actually, ackshuyally it’s on the SS Anne, and… and you gotta reset your whole game file to get it!”

The fact I haven't replayed Gen 2 since it first came out yet I remembered that Leftovers the instant you said only a single trashcan item in Gen 2 proves how impactful it was. It really was the perfect item to put there after the flop of trashcan items that was Gen 1. Still only a single item with the rest being empty, but boy was it one hell of an item.

I would be a lot happier with this concept as a whole if "empty" trash cans gave the text "the trash can is full of trash. What were you expecting?"

I'm not gonna lie, still to this day, I check every single trash can in every game even if I know it's empty. It would irk something within me if I didn't.

The wildest thing in this whole video was learning that there's nothing in any of the trash cans in HGSS, yet _somehow_ little 10yo me learned to obsessively check every single trash can on the map from that game

would love to see you do a video about tiny pieces of worldbuilding like this. stuff like the winstrate family member in victory road, or banette being a discarded doll and findable in the trash. by far the series' strong suit over the years in my opinion, and it feels like a great deep dive topic

I watched your video on the time events lost in the older games and they've brought up so much nostalgia man. I finally just collected all the main line games until Scarlet and Violet so im doing a mega playthrough, so happy to see videos such as this as im going back through the time machine to walk the childhood memories once again. Please make more of these, theyre awesome!

I do this not only every single time I see trash cans and rocks, but also every time I see boxes, as well as potted plants inside of buildings. Why do I think the boxes and plants will have items? I have no idea. Have they ever had items? I have no idea. But I always feel compelled to click on them every time anyway. And I'll never stop.

Not Pokemon, but I like how Hoyoverse are painfully aware of checking trash cans. There's even an achievement in Star Rail for committing to checking trash in the starting world, and a lot of callbacks to the fact that RPG players always check trash cans

I think the trash cans being non-interactable are likely symptomatic of the cut corners and dev crunch that plagues the cycle of releases for the modern games, that I wish would take longer between releases so we can get a better product like what Pokemon games used to be, but maybe that's just me.

It would be cool if Pokémon had a dumpster next to a hotel or restaurant. Everyday, the player could dumpster dive for berries that are no longer fresh enough for the establishment to serve its patrons.

It's also like the few hidden items on the ground got tons of kids to check every square for an item. First game I remember that did this was I think Dragon Quest on the NES. There are like two or three items on the ground I remember. Yet your allowed to basically search every square of every town/dungeon. Before things like online guides pointed out where items were, you had to look every where.
