Bro, literally I wasn't able to sleep today and opened youtube looking for a long video to hear while trying to fall asleep. THANK YOU! I'll tell you tomorrow if it worked

[@yukihoshikawa]

Fingers crossed!

[@Whex_Whex]

Same can't sleep either

[@caffienatedtactician]

Hope you slept good bud!

[@Thechesful]

@@yukihoshikawa it did ♥️

[@braillynn4903]

I do that pretty much every night.

[@trashbanjo]

So, GameFreak implemented a check to prevent two shinies from inbreeding in GSC? They must not like the Royal Family either.

[@TryhardSnake]

Not shocked at the shiny Unknown not working in the cave in BDSP. I assume this is a bug, given this remake's track record. It's a cool discovery though.

[@wikiuser92]

It's because Shiny Pokémon are internally considered separate forms in BDSP, but not in DP.

[@TryhardSnake]

@@wikiuser92 sure, but this is not an excuse for the shiny forms to also be counted for the purpose of the cave completion. So now there is a feature separating the shiny and non shiny forms, but this should have been accounted for for the cave completion. It’s an oversight whatever way you look at it. That was my point

[@wikiuser92]

@@TryhardSnake I agree. It is an oversight. But fortunately, it is one that's not too serious and easy to avoid.

[@traitorousturncoat667]

0/10, was extremely interested and entertained throughout and didn't fall asleep once

[@yukihoshikawa]

We take those

[@jomodmod]

Props for including corrections in this compliation!

[@yukihoshikawa]

Thank you! I know some people don't like checking KZbin comments, but the only way I could correct myself until now was to make a pinned comment on the original video, so I figured this was another decent opportunity to try and correct the misinformation I accidentally spread. 😔

[@kjdubs5877]

Just woke up from a cold rough night of tent camping and this is a great video to wake up to. Thanks

[@yukihoshikawa]

Oh no! Glad the video seems to be helping out, at least!

[@WhoElseButZane]

Gen 2 shiny charizard is superior

[@yukihoshikawa]

I'm a bit of a sucker for the black, personally, but I think it would've been neat if shiny Mega Charizard X used the Gen 2 shiny colors, since the non shiny is black like regular Charizard's shiny.

[@zaccary14]

Yuki sleeps with you for an hour and 19 minutes. I’m in.

[@yukihoshikawa]

LMAO, let's go

[@GHOSTCHAN]

Okay so that Unknown cave fact is actually really cool but also really funny, I suspect that the reason why shiny Unknown isn't counted is due to a pokedex check during the event that didn't account for shiny forms (most likely overlooked since the chances of someone randomly going into the cave and getting a shiny letter there without having seen all forms is astronomically low, that also reminds me that I should probably complete the cave on my save since I've been going for a 100% run)

[@Left4Cake]

Yeah. Anyone whos work with any amount of code,. especially code with rng built in, are just nodding like. Yup. Relatable.

[@Absolbr]

Ayyy, i love videos like this :> Thank you very very much, this will help

[@yukihoshikawa]

Glad to hear it!

[@apbuggygaming]

OMG I love these. I'm so glad to discover your channel this way!

[@yukihoshikawa]

Awesome; I'm glad to hear!

[@lovenydogg16]

I’m sure what you’re going through is going to get better. I’m in a similar position. Be positive! Fine strength in the people who care for you. 😊

[@yukihoshikawa]

Thank you! Things should resolve shortly, thankfully.

[@toniconge7003]

eeee a compiation of your wild obscure things looooove it! Along with I haven't even seen 3 of these! Cool hearing your new voice at the begining also

[@BlackKoiRecords]

Just subbed! All the hard work you have done to make this is incredible and appreciated!

[@Castcoder]

Thank you so much for this. Great timing, and thank KZbin for recommending this video.

[@yukihoshikawa]

You're welcome; we love the algorithm bringing new people in!

[@liljainanna]

Sleeping and pokemon… my two special interests. Thank you

[@yukihoshikawa]

Me too, honestly, LMAO. Glad you enjoyed!

[@regulargoat7259]

So the xy gift pokemon thing is weird because I distinctly remember somehow being able to send a squirtle to the box, and then when trying to pick it up later it wasn’t holding the mega stone, and the mega stone wasn’t in my bag either. I never got the blastoisite in that game. It would’ve been current patch xy too, not old patch. Another cool thing ive discovered is that at least in hgss, Chilan berries activate when hitting yourself in confusion. It was easy to replicate for me because I just went up against the union cave ratattas which have a chance to hold a chilan berry, confuse them with zubat’s supersonic, and watch them eat the chilan berry to lessen normal type damage when they first take confusion damage. When i checked on bulbapedia and serebii, they didn’t mention that. I guess i may have discovered a unique glitch or interaction? I wonder now if the chilan berry would still activate when taking damage from confuse ray, a ghost type move..?

[@yukihoshikawa]

Oh dang, that's an interesting note about X and Y! As for the Chilan Berry, there's a note on the Bulbapedia page for the Chilan Berry that reads "In Generation IV, it also activates for Struggle as well as when the holder hits itself in confusion despite dealing typeless damage. The Chilan Berry no longer activates for Struggle in Generation V onward."

[@hobqueer]

I LEGIT OPENED KZbin TO LOOK FOR A SLEEP VIDEO HA HA THANK YOU

[@yukihoshikawa]

You're welcome!

[@hobqueer]

@yukihoshikawa it definitely worked but it was so interesting I had to watch it a bit as a treat :)

[@bigdishes8609]

Bro what was so bad about that gengars name that you had to blur it at 5:30

[@bigdishes8609]

Aight never mind💀

[@yukihoshikawa]

I may have gotten a little upset at that Gastly 😂

[@Shadowonshadows]

Ty for this compilation 🙏

[@yukihoshikawa]

You're welcome! 💜

[@luxrayblast]

How do Duking's Plusle & Hordel's Shadow Togepi work with full parties? Duking gifts a Plusle in Colosseum; while Hordel gifts you a Shadow Togepi to Purify in Gale Of Darkness, which you can trade back to him for an Elekid named ZAPRONG. I don't remember when Outskirt Stand opens in XD, but, probably halfway through. However, Duking's Plusle is gifted to you very early in Colosseum, namely after rescuing it from Miror B.. I'm sure neither of those games crossed your mind for Gift Pokémon, so it's fine. Those are the only ones you are outright GIFTED in the GC titles. The other 4 in XD are traded Pokémon. Also, PLA & Scarlet/ Violet have no Fossils you can revive. Shieldon & Cranidos are Coronet Highlands Space-Time Distortion Only Spawns; but, can be caught in the open in the Terarium's Canyon Biome. I've seen Shieldon Spawn on the landmass that looks like the Nature Preserve from B2/W2. Because a Tera Haxorus spawns there after a certain point in the game.

[@Chaesuria]

I usually watch these types of videos and don't listen much. I've heard about most things from watching them so often while working. BUT - I stopped my work and intently watched the enitre section about the Static Glitch. This was something I have never heard or encountered, and it was very interesting to learn about. Thank you for covering this, and being the first "Facts you didn't know" video that had a fact I truly did not know.

[@joshb7384]

This video is EXACTLY what I need

[@BROCCOLI_AMES]

This was great!

[@yukihoshikawa]

Thank you; I'm always glad to hear such comments!

[@squidcheeks9892]

The algorithm brought me here! I'm new to the channel, and hope whatever you're going through turns out well!

[@yukihoshikawa]

Thank you! I imagine things will get back to normal in the next week or so. Great profile picture by the way, LMAO.

[@mattrrison]

Nice video

[@yukihoshikawa]

Thank you!

[@drissdouiri7840]

Thank you and thank thé KZbin algo that got me there

[@yukihoshikawa]

Bless the KZbin algorithm

[@jewels936]

So they gave us the Odd Egg for free in the international versions of Crystal, but not the GS Ball 😭

[@rosesapling72]

25:15 funner FUN fact: in exclusively Gens 1 and 2, the values that differentiate Pokemon's stat distributions are known as DVs (Differential Values) rather than IVs (Individual Values). Coincidence? I think so. But it's still funny nonetheless!

[@kannabanana1318]

this is great, thank~

[@yukihoshikawa]

No problem; glad to hear!

[@angels.3686]

Well, now I'm curious what happens to all those gift 'mons if the boxes are full in each game. I know a new box is reserved in newer games specifically for the box legend, but what about the others when it tries to send it there?

[@hunarpg]

The thing about the gift pokemon thing is that is handeled per gift pokemon basis and it's just random choice of game freak what they decided to do

[@yukihoshikawa]

At least they seem to be getting their act together with the latest games, BD/SP excluded.

[@alecrutz6979]

missed opportunity for the first chapter to call it "this fact was Unown for 15 years"

[@mysticmongrel1289]

Now we need to see if the 26 Shiny Unown are gonna unlock the whole cave, tbh

[@thatotheratrocity]

in gen 3, the person who switches first depends on the host of the battle, i wonder if this also applies the game engine used, if so it might be worth testing the multi-hit status glitch, by hosting between different sets of hosts. (for example: rs/frlg hosting an emerald game and the other way around)

[@user-wz7eq2yk6n]

Honestly, the only game that I’ve played that I’m OK with shiny hunting in, keep in mind I never played a Pokémon game until I got a switch, is the legends game. I think it’s mainly because I can keep throwing pokeballs as long as I can make them. And when you come across like five dustox it’s easy just to keep throwing them until one of them fails an escape check. It’s more work, but it’s less stressful than sword and shield.

[@yukihoshikawa]

The other nice thing about Legends is that there's an audible sparkle when a shiny Pokemon is nearby. You can also just save in front of the shiny Pokemon, in case you fail to catch it and need to reload - it'll still be there, IIRC.

[@sleepyprincee]

Perfect video to do ArtFight attacks to

[@yukihoshikawa]

Hell yeah, great to hear!

[@Lelfay]

why was the name of your gengar censored in the unown clip?

[@yukihoshikawa]

I didn't know how picky KZbin would be about inappropriate language at the time. As time went on, I just stopped caring, LMAO, and I haven't been impacted in any way.

[@nightingem]

Oh I got a shiny Unown D as a kid! You dedicated so much time to proving this discovery, truly the persistence of pokemon fans know no bounds.

[@Hazel776FE]

I hope everything is ok with u yuki peace and love

[@yukihoshikawa]

Thank you; things should be getting back to normal soon!

[@gatomeow76]

So like not sure if anyone else has said this but I have a hypothesis on the strange ability text for the glitched static, I'm thinking since static is activated via the pokemon's ability maybe the game uses a preset text for when a pokemon is statused via any ability, the text being "[target pokemon] was [status]ed by [user pokemon] [user pokemon's ability]" and the game doesn't check to see if the ability is able to do that, this would make a lot of sense cause that's a really easy way to save a little space and makes the workload easier

[@JohnHunterPlayerr]

Now check if the caves done with q full shiny dex

[@euclideanspace2573]

What did you name that Gengar?

[@anubion42]

Seems like a lot of people are listening to sleep. So hello from work I guess lol

[@yukihoshikawa]

Yeah, I assume it's cuz I put that in the title. Hope I made work less of a slog!

[@anubion42]

@@yukihoshikawa oh it does, i completely missed that lol

[@SynysterProjects]

I wonder if, since shinies dont "count" towards the maniac cave, is the opposite also true? As in, would the cave progress if you only saw SHINIES? ...is what I would ask, but then i got to your "q&a" bit 😅

[@Pinkietron]

49:50 was emerald player 1? I'm thinking that might be the cause of your moves being reset to normal accuracy and pp

[@hyperventalated]

Wasnt there also a forced shiny encounter with a ponyta in Pokemon Legends Arceus?

[@lambybunny7173]

I'm right about to nap! awesome vid for this

[@yukihoshikawa]

Nice; hope you have a good nap!

[@LivvyUwU]

ngl i thought obscure would be like creepy/weird shit, this is just glitches

[@ZutoMimi]

Shiny values are determined by DV's (gen 2 only, values ranging from 0-15) not IV's (gen 3 onwards with values ranging from 0-31). Unown I and V is often touted as a coincidence but it's entirely false

[@mikedufour4829]

i swear i watched this exact fact video on a different channel before....

[@yukihoshikawa]

Well I hope nobody's stolen my videos 👀

[@drakmaaaaa2729]

28:36 Wait, POKEMON HAVENT FAINTED FROM POISON IN THE OVERWORKD SINCE GEN 4????? ITS BAD I DDINT KNOW THAT😊

[@FlameAstro]

I tried to fall asleep, but your video kept waking me up.

[@not_applicable]

skill issue

[@yukihoshikawa]

I'm gonna be honest, I just see a lot of compilations include something like "to help you study" or "to help you sleep" in their title. I personally don't get how a video like this would help me sleep or study - I think I just need silence or white noise to fall asleep - but hey, if it helps other people, I figure why not help them out.

[@FlameAstro]

@@yukihoshikawa Yeah, I think it’s more than longer videos are better for the algorithm. I’m a sucker for podcasts and background noise while working videos.

[@jamesongorman8531]

do we know if the cave finishes if you see every shiny unown without seeing every non-shiny

[@LionelRGuy]

6:58 - This whole exchange is a reference to Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past. In that game, there are 2 fairies - 1 in the Light World, 1 in the Dark - where if you throw certain items into their pool, they will reward your honesty with an updated version of that item. That's how you get the lvl2 shield, magic boomerang, lvl4 sword, and silver arrow.

[@silverroll2737]

both the protein well guy and what you're describing here are actually references to a fable called "the honest woodcutter" that is referenced a lot in japanese media. theres one in animal crossing aswell iirc

[@LionelRGuy]

@silverroll2737 Whoa, had no idea the lore rolled so deep!

[@sad-o-lantern7825]

Hope it's not a weird question but what are your pronouns? Just wondering in case I comment on other videos of yours

[@yukihoshikawa]

My pronouns are they/them!

[@Invisfire777]

Great vid but for the love of god the Pokémon is unOWN not unKNown. It’s pronounced unOWN not unknown.
