A JPR Saturday video is almost as rare as finding a shiny Pokemon

[@arcanearts96]

Misdreavus being so rare was a pretty big factor in it being my second favorite Pokemon. I saw it for the first time in the Entei episode of the anime, and was confused because I'd never seen it in my copy of Silver. One of my brother's friends borrowed my game, got through the rest of Kanto for me and got me to Mt. Silver. I found a Misdreavus later on and was amazed that it actually existed. I caught it and trained it, and it became one of my very first Level 100 Pokemon.

[@MagusAgrippa8]

Misdreavus was done so dirty in gen 2. But to be fair, I don't think I'd love her as much as I did if she didn't have that bit of unfairness handed to her. I even like her a fair bit more than Mismagius and usually never evolve her if I can avoid it.

personally both those are a significant upgrade from Misdreavous, all cool forms though but Johto did Musdreavous dirty (which is not something new for Johto, most of Johto mons suck) ​@@castform7

[@Volkaroar]

It should be mentioned that for the Black and White games specifically, no trainer in the playthrough of the story uses Ferrothorn on their team. That means if you didn't evolve a Ferroseed, you'd actually have a missing dex entry for that game. This was fixed in the sequel games so that it had more representation.

[@miikaroos3809]

Yes, and nobody uses a Zweilous either in BW. That is a bit more understandable, though.

[@Onion_57]

I vividly remember this, Ferrothorn was the last Gen 5 Pokemon I learned about when the games first came out due to not raising one when the games came out, and no trainers having one.

[@youtube-kit9450]

Sounds like the Chimecho debacle wherein no one uses the thing (not even the double battle psychic type gym leaders who used 3 levitating psychic types...) and the only place you'd find it was a very low appearance rate in an area you'd likely barely ever come back to because you only visit it once for story purposes and then are tasked to immediately go on.

[@youtube-kit9450]

@@ChocolateSoda1 Falkner should've used either Hoothoot and Noctowl. If you think Noctowl's BST being 100 higher than Pidgeotto is a problem... its attack stat is actually lower, and most of the higher stats are in its special bulk (irrelevant when you mostly use normal moves at that point) and special attack, which it cannot use. So it arguably would be easier than Pidgeotto except at taking the starter's elemental attack. Bugsy should've used an Ariados, Ledian and a Pineco or something. Yes, level 16 would make them underlevelled... but we already have that trend with Falkner. Johto should've just had a higher level curve anyways. Whitney is fine. She funnily would be more dangerous with just the Miltank since now you cannot cheese or setup with the Clefairy. Morty absolutely should have had one of the Haunters replaced with Misdreavus. This is just insanity. Two fighting types for Chuck? How about a Heracross and a Hitmontop? Jasmine should've had a Scizor, Skarmory and Steelix. Heck, she's the 6th gym leader with a higher level than Pryce, just give her a Magneton as a fourth pokémon. Pryce could've had like, a Sneasel somewhere. Maybe even a Delibird for the memes. Clair's "watery dragon/dinosaur" thing, I'd have made her team be Lapras, Dragonair, Kingdra, Gyarados and Feraligatr. It's gen 2, they still gave out starter pokémon and evos to random trainers (they stopped in gen 5).

(Hisui doesn't count because it's still Sinnoh so every Gen 4 mon is there by default) They're also available at the Mirage Islands in ORAS, but it's pretty telling of its rarity when the only obtainable appearance outside of its home region is in a remake.

[@liamdell6319]

Pinsir indeed had a purpose and it's was to be a rare and elusive mon, keep in mind that satoshi tajiri was an avid bug catcher, bug catching was the main inspiration of satoshi to create pokemon and for a Japanese bug catcher stag beetles (along side rinoceros beetles) are the ultimate catch that's why pinsir is such a rare pokemon, is to evoque the same feelings satoshi provably had after encounter a real stag beetle

[@jermainespeid4934]

Misdreavus was the first pure ghost 👻 type in generations 2 but you can’t find it until post game and crazy part they have a ghost type user in Johto but this gym leader only used gastly line

[@Birdsflight44]

They wanted to have mons that would be mysterious, and make people breed for and trade with each other. Maybe not the best choice when your franchise is as popular as Pokemon was/is, but its clear with decisions like shinies and roamers that they were shooting for such a sense. Also, Misdreavus is pretty strong for that point in the game. They kinda only get away with the haunters and a gengar on his team because they're super gimmicky, so if you just reset enough, you can luck your way through it. Misdreavus has more bulk than Haunter, no poison weakness to exploit, and a more straightforward moveset in gen 2. I see why they made that decision with Morty's team specifically, even if they had made different choices with Misdreavus elsewhere.

[@Chorongy-]

Now I’m picturing hoards of Rellor setting out on religious pilgrimages across the region like some sorta rite of passage they all end up having to go through at some point in their life cycle to reach that state. Like the mass Rellor exodus would be a yearly thing they people of Paldea know to expect, like how we have mosquito season or migratory bird visits. When the spring rolls in, drivers stop to reverently wait and watch as this year’s crowd of young bugs slowly roll their poops across the road. Some towns give them protected status like my state does turkeys and you literally can’t disturb them as they shuffle their way to enlightenment. I feel like I need to draw this now. Thanks for giving me such a good laugh 😂

[@rjd1922]

Larvitar was also exclusive to Mt. Silver in Gen 2 (excluding Crystal where it can be bought from the Celadon Game Corner) and no trainer uses the line. I guess they thought Tyranitar was too strong for Karen or Brock.

[@RabblesTheBinx]

In fact, I'm pretty sure _all_ Dark-types except for Umbreon are locked to the post-game. Sneasel is in the Icy Path in Crystal, but otherwise, Houndour and Murkrow are only found in Kanto and Larvitar/Pupitar and Sneasel are only in Mt. Silver.

another note on Snorunt is that it's only available in one area in the entire game, and said area is based off your internal clock so that means if your internal battery is dead and the area isn't in the days where Snorunt appears, you basically can't get it at all unless you replace your battery.

What’s funny about the mention of Slugma and Misdreavus is that I’m actually using them on my team in current HeartGold run; Slugma you can get from Primo in Violet City via an egg and Misdreavus you can get in the Safari Zone forest area(available after healing Amphy at the lighthouse). Granted the egg is only if you say specific things based on your trainer ID and Misdreavus’ encounter chance is still 10% during the day and 30% at night. And I didn’t even know you could get a Slugma egg so early in the game until this year(yknow, 14 YEARS LATER). He can also give a Wooper and Mareep egg, but they can be obtained on nearby routes before Azalea. The more you know🤷🏻‍♂️

No trainers used them in GSC and RSE did a way better job at promoting them. Chinchou is available way earlier in Johto than it is in Hoenn.

Honestly, a cool missed opportunity would be for her to lead with Palafin, which is hard coded to used Flip Turn 1st turn of battle, and switch into Glimmora to set spikes on unsuspecting players and add pressure and a timer of sorts to beat her before your team all dies of poison.

And the same goes for all the other pokemon that "got an evolution" like qwilfish, basculin, etc. They all got regional forms that can evolve, not evolutions. I just hope that the next potential evolutions are indeed evolutions for the pokemon that gets them and not for a regional counterpart. Don't get me wrong, cross generational evolutions, regional variants and convergent evolutions are fine. But I don't like when they "give a pokemon an evolution" but in reality the original version is still stuck as what it currently is and thus also loses all hope of actually getting an evolution for a really long time just because the regional variant (that evolves into a different pokemon) can evolve and technically counts as "giving some spotlight" to that pokemon.

gen 9 I think it is ghouldango. Rellor is SO common and is EVERYWHERE at a popular location being by the betting place. I have accidently found 3 shiny ones because they are SO COMMON! also glimmet can be found outside area zero but its evolved form is important there too. So I think even though people believe them to be rare, you can see the full line and even catch them before you go to area zero.

[@Engardian]

Fun fact: I thought the Clobbopus line was first introduced in one of the DLCs since I never ran into it in Shield.

[@StateBlaze1989]

I can say that I was one of those kids back in gen 2 that (probably) never caught a skarmory in its debut gen. It got so bad that I thought it was a gen 3 pokemon for a while.

[@lasercraft32]

They need to add a third evolution to Wormadam's evolution line... It doesn't make sense for only the males to turn into moths. Give us Mothadam!

[@michelzwiers7742]

Hakamo-o is at least accounted for in the Sun and Moon demo, where it is the totem pokemon in the trial you get to play that's exclusive to the demo

[@ub-06austin40]

I’ve genuinely never seen a Dolliv in the wild. I didn’t even know it could appear in the wild

[@TMek42]

who else remembers the original reason for Misdreavus's Mt Silver spawn? moreso back when it was spawning outside below Mt Silver...

[@awesomeschwab]

Can we have less ambiguous title for this vid? Thought I was clicking on a vid akin to “Pokémon who’ve still to receive special notice, treatment, or buffs in later gens”. What we got was “Pokémon who are rare in the gen they are in introduced in”.

14:07 Finally, someone said it. Cosmoem is probably one of my least favorite Pokemon and definitely my least favorite in Alola because, and I mean it when I say it, it's not one. It's a plot device and a useless one at that. Could someone please tell me what the difference between Cosmoem existing and Nebby just being knocked out until the cutscene it evolves. I feel like it conveys the severity of what's happened to Nebby just as well if not better. Cosmoem makes Phione look like the most important Pokemon out there and the only reason more people don't talk about it is because it's too forgettable to be talked about. I get it "a Pokemon is everyone's favorite" but I will straight up just believe the Cosmoem "fans" are lying through their teeth.

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

it's telling a story based on how stars are formed in the universe, gas cloud condense to form a solid dense mass (Cosmog being the cloud and Cosmoem being the condensed mass)

[@ReaperspearX]

You know what's funny, when you talk about gen 2 there is zero mention of Tyranitar, a pokemon who isn't on any trainer's team until the Fire Red/ Leaf Green champion rematch team.

[@AloneTheorist]

Rabsca has a guaranteed tera spawn in the savannah in the Terarium a lot of rellor can be found nearby to it and rellor is incredibly common in the asado desert alongside cacnea and sandile. The titan Pokémon not being on NPC trainer teams makes perfect sense because the paradox titans specifically would be physically impossible to obtain for an NPC given that area zero travel is forbidden by the Pokémon league. Meaning only the AI professors could ever own them aside from the player.

[@PokeHokage]

Skarmory had it worse. Atleast no one questions what gen misdrevus is from. But so many people including myself thought skarmory was a gen 3 mon.

[@harvestmoon12345]

Yes! Especially if you played Gold. No trainer has one and you can't find it in the wild. I didn't know it was a Gen 2 Pokemon for years.

[@BlueBlur_91]

I didn't know clobbopus existed until today when playing sword.

[@Jw87563]

You know a mon is forgotten when even a video about forgotten mons doesn't mention them. I feel like Seel and Dewgong are more fitting for the gen 1 slot here, since Farfetch'd at least got a regional form. Seel and Dewgong are probably one of the only gen 1 mons to not get _any_ attention from GF.

[@miikaroos3809]

At least Lorelei used a Dewgong in Gen 1.

[@jacobkohr7243]

Misdreavus received a cross gen evo in Mismagius and then a completely broken paradox form. Little spooper's doing just fine.

[@oscarzxn4067]

I remember that when I was trying to complete the regional dex in Diamond, the only Pokemon I was missing was Wormadam and I was going crazy fibning the one trainer that I missed that had it.

[@rodolfotapia5909]

I didn’t know until much later in life that Pinsir was gen 1.

[@gantashiro978]

"I ship it" 💀

[@charizardAnthony94]

Misdreavus takes the cake in Gen 2, At least Jasmine had the courtesy to use a johto mon on her team

[@VictoriousVulpix]

Just used a skarmory to get steel wing on Farfetch’d and hunt a shiny Farfetch’d in Leafgreen.

[@PoutyBats]

As someone who played Gold version growing up, for the longest time I thought Skarmory was a gen 3 Pokémon lol
