It's the yakuza tradition of "Yubitsumi" (correct if wrong). Basically if you screw up a job so bad that you're punished by chopping off your pinky. It also is a kind of (literal) shorthand saying that you're gonna be more trouble than your worth and need to rely more on others to get the job done. Its related to Japanese swordsmanship, one less finger on the grip means less control.

I miss when pokemon was about going around a fairly normal region and encountering down to earth people dealing with real problems. Its become really larger than life in the past games with all the world altering super hyper giga legendary gods like i just want to give a nice cold drink to the nice checkpoint worker and foil team rockets plans to take over a single building

[@notscorchingsands9718]

Not enough these days.

[@AlkonKomm]

to be fair world altering legendary pokemon were already a big thing in gen 3 which was forever ago, and I loved that gen. Id say what the newer gens REALLY are lacking is just exploring a world without somebody holding your hand. You get constant notifications by your talking pokedex where to go, the XP sharer is beyond broken and available early, so youre always overleveled and are being led along a rather linear path. Finding out how to reach a new town/unlock a new route/get the next HM used to be a huge part of the game. Obviously we got the internet now, which makes exploration way less exciting, but I still think turning down the handholding would greatly benefit the game.

[@timtam4596]

@@AlkonKomm My favorite thing about gen 1 is that once you're out of rock tunnel, between team rocket and the remaining gyms, you can choose between at least 2 major objectives to complete at any time. There's even a handful of gym leaders you can temporarily skip over if you can manage without their HM

[@Jotari]

@@timtam4596 I wish they had a whole game designed around that concept. Like a Megaman pokemon philosophy. You start in the center of the map and the towns with the gyms were all at radial points outwards that you can visit in any order. Wild pokemon would get progressively stronger the closer to the edge of the map you are while trainers will use pokemon of varying power depending on how many badges you have. DO IT NINTENDO.

I think Masuda made the right call with Leaf Green. Normally I always go for the Red-ish hued versions, but since I had already played the original Red, and Green was the fabled version that the West never got, I thought Leaf Green was super cool and had to have it.

[@IgnitedQuils]

Yeah, and Masuda said he wanted nice artwork of the Bulbasaur line. It’s important to recognize where Pokémon started off with its original release, as Red and Green.

[@Keetza]

Leaf Green was my first Pokémon game. I’ll never forget wasting my master ball on an Onix, because I thought it was a super rare Pokémon. I also remember that at my school, there was a kid who made money trading exp shares to other students.

[@Hijiri_MIRACHION]

Even if they are overshadowed by HeartGold and SoulSilver sometimes, I believe that FireRed and LeafGreen might be some of the most important games in the series. For example, they allowed you to get Pokémon that were previously unobtainable in Ruby and Sapphire due to technical limitations, and they were the first Pokémon games to support some kind of wireless feature, something which would later became the series standard in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. No wonder they got the Player's Choice award.

[@Phoebe5448]

Still love these games to this day!

[@joshernsteen2066]

It is also the only games in the series to legally acquire Soft-Boiled on certain pokemon legally without cheating the game. Nintendo already said that they would completely look the other way if they detect that someone cheated to access the move tutor by walking on water. They also clearly said to back up the save data first before doing it using technology that they knew would come out eventually in the future. They also said something like it will take a while to get the planning out done correctly for what you want to eventually do in the game, but the outcome will be worth every second of planning it, hopefully preparing for the future of the game series and your own personal reasons.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Also the move tutors for Mega Punch and Mega Kick outside of Mt. Moon might be needed to be learned on some pokemon first before getting migrated over to the other pokemon games.

According to Bulbapedia, had the Altering Cave event been implemented in FireRed and LeafGreen, it would've been the only way to obtain Shuckle's Berry Juice in Generation III.

[@joshernsteen2066]

It is still accessible in the game via a very specific website that I came across that had the file for download to a gba game plug and play device. I was already aware of their existence by the point of me finding the website, but I did not care enough to order one then; and maybe I still do not care enough now to order one now in the present day.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Nintendo said already that the altering came was already fully finished and coded, but was not just implemented inside of the game. It was supposed to be unlocked via a wonderspot that was never released(?). They already made certain that the pokemon coud altered by talking to the mailman in the game. Nintendo did officially acknowledge this information as well.i would have saved the website with them officially talking about it if I had known that Altering Cave was going to be a major topic of discussion later on. It would honestly appear that Nintendo said it directly themselves, and not a third party company claiming it was them.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Also the Gen 3 to Gen 4 migration feature might not have been added into the Gen 4 games if a Nintendo rep did not mention the idea as a possibility. It was mentioned way before they even thought about making the Gen 4 games. It was a really interesting interview with all of them solely agreeing to first and foremost only be talking about Pokémon Emerald during the interview. All of the Nintendo reps looked like they knew a lot information about other topics not related to Pokemon as wel,, to what extent obviously I don't know. It just shows that the company is infact larger than it initially appears to be at first.

[@CrystalGreymon]

@@IgnitedQuils Also, the harmony aspect could come from the fact that a field that's been razed by fire has more nutritients for newer plants to grow after. Among the elements, Fire can be considered the strongest as at its peak it can literally stop the other three, however it can also be considered the weakest as any of the other elements can stop it alone. In fact, all 4 elements oppose each other in different ways and that is how the harmony exists. When pitted against one another, they can stop each other, but with the right combination of them, life can bloom like a mighty oak tree.

I loved FireRed. As anybody who ever played the Gen 1 games can tell you, there were a number of Quality of Life changes made by the time Fire Red and Leaf Green released. This includes the automatic swapping of Pokemon Boxes when one is filled, as well as the changes to the item inventory. This makes playing FireRed and LeafGreen a far less stressful experience. Having to constantly switch boxes so that you wouldn't miss out on a Pokemon capture was a pain. And only being able to hold a handful of item types at a time meant you were constantly selling or storing items in the PC. I find Masuda's comment about picking colors a bit silly. Fire burns leaves, after all. The most harmonious choice would actually be Leaf and Water, as water helps plants grow. Seems he was still influenced by the marketing power of Charizard.

[@End_Zionism]

My favorite games and my favorite KZbinr. This is epic.

[@exgrrrlfriend]

Very nice choice having Tama involved for this video! I think I've learned more about Pokémon from her than anyone else! ❤️

[@squeegie]

Water and Fire oppose each other so we decided on leaf green with fire red. Umm... fire... plant... umm....

[@IgnitedQuils]

I think it’s more or less rather what they represent than what the are. Like what Masuda said, Leaf represents peace, as it can show sincerity. While Fire is energy and activity. And they are the remakes of the original pair in Japan, Red and Green.

[@squeegie]

@@IgnitedQuils In Japan, under the influence of the indigenous religion Shintoism, water is believed to incarnate the purity and pliant simplicity of life. It would have made more sense to have Leaf and Water imo.

[@GavinusMaximusMaster]

This is EXACTLY what ive been waiting for!!! Ive been playing these games since before i could read!!!!!!!! Yesssss

[@Maniac536]

Omg fire red and leaf green in December for tama’s channel! Yay!

[@minakohiashi8882]

2:59 That makes no sense to me for multiple reasons. First wouldn't grass and water be the more peaceful options? The Pokemon world is anything but peaceful. Generation 1 more especially. Team Rocket actually kills Pokemon and lavender Town has a giant cemetery with possessed exorcist shouting give me blood. Obviously Pokemon Ghost Pokemon especially are velicious and highly dangerous

[@pokemonduck]

It's just Masuda making nonsense excuses to do whatever he wants, as usual.

[@timtam4596]

Not to mention gen 1 explicitly mentions a war that was fought with pokemon (Lt. Surge)

[@mattfry6716]

I’m currently replaying leaf green on my game boy micro.

[@aaronjames3228]

Cool

[@zjzr08]

The Altering Cave is interesting to me when I read it up in Serebii, and surprised it wasn't released in the US.

[@thegrapefruit8362]

Great video!

[@e3k701]

LeafGreen was my first Pokémon game, I remember getting it after baseball practice. There was also a used original Red version at the gamestop too.

[@pattyofurniture694]

I love Tama Hero! Can't wait to see what she has down the pipeline; her content is SO GOOD lately.

[@brycevo]

This is a cool video on the e-reader and other great pokemon facts

[@LagrimaArdiente]

I love the lore behind the Sevii Islands. Wish they had made it into HGSS or LGPE.

[@skootdiggity1301]

Oh nice, DidYouKnowGaming is getting out of their comfort zone and finally making a Pokemon video.

[@OutrideMaro]

oh actually hi tama :D i subscribed to you

[@gelozyg1732]

The only memory of this game I have is a bunch of my friends playing this on our android phones and trading via bluetooth in highschool. Best part is that we use messenger to talk to each other while playing and giving each other tips

[@davidcoulombedaigle9801]

🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

[@TheJoseluisperez1000]

Everytime I think they're done talking about classic pokemon facts they already deliver

[@shutupsprinkles]

TAMAAAAAAAAAA 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Talking about a couple of games I played for lotsa hours as a kiddo, you love to see it. (I love to see it!)

[@chaoscolby]

OMG it's Tama!!

[@neosunday5617]

Ahh Leafgreen. My first Pokemon game. Brings back a lot of memories

[@Digital_Her0]

Holy hell thats Tamago! Didn't think she was still around doing pokemon stuff

[@mikahael1]

Yeah Tamashii is. She even streams on Twitch

[@VerdantRange]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tama the same person that insulted women for choosing to have a more feminine lifestyle and and called those who referred to those who liked Gardevoir as "Gardefags"?

[@notscorchingsands9718]

Oh boy..........

[@aquaduud]

I think shes the first female to host this show

[@olpendoomandagi5565]

Rosanna Pansino host on this show a long time ago.

[@thelastwindwaker7948]

Nice to not see tons of complaints about the audio this time.

[@NephiLoWaterGodXVII]

Itd be cool to see you guys at DYKG cover some of the great quality ROM hack Pokemon Games such as Pokemon Dark Rising 1 and 2, and Pokemon Ash Grey, ect

[@RebornAudio]

As a kid of the 90s UK, the NPC named Hiker Nob gave me a chuckle. Still does.

[@Masamune0191]

I like these facts etc and yes thank you, Nob for your contributions but honestly like every pokemon DYKG has mentioned NOB with pretty much the same info!

[@rebeccarussell2565]

Can you do a “did you know” on previous and/future references in the Persona games?

[@spacellamamk1]

It's a simple explanation: one of doduo's toes turned into the third head.
