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.

[@arcanearts96]

@@MagusAgrippa8 It really is crazy that Morty or none of his Gym Trainers had one lol. But yeah I almost never evolve mine either, except for Dex filling purposes haha

I like Misdreavus because while it's on the weaker side, I quite like its design. More than Mismagius or Flutter Mane even.

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You were just unlucky, assuming you caught a pseudo RAW before (no trading nor breeding, they don’t count).

Combine that with the fact for the longest time it only had Take Down (a recoil) and it’s one of the most infamous pokémon to shiny hunt in gen 7.

[@rolandoceja1527]

Wait, what about Gen 1 Golem?

[@sushsushsushaushfrrrrro]

bro they didnt forget about misdreavus 😭 they made a whole paradox pokemon dedecated to it

[@jondumas7723]

that doesn't take away the fact that it is very wasted in its own generation

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

​@@jondumas7723 that's true for a lot of Johto though, it needs other regions like Sinnoh, Hisui and Paldea to give justice to its own pokemons (Misdreavus, Sneasel, Stantler, Girafarig, Ursaring, etc.)

[@sushsushsushaushfrrrrro]

@@jondumas7723 thats honestly most johto mons out there, it still isnt really forgotten because it got additions to it post-johto, it got mismagius and it got a paradox (not to mention a really strong one)

[@nickdentoom1173]

I mean... that was outside of its own generation though, since if we use Flutter Mane as the argument, we need to use Mega Evolution in the argument too.

[@zhenhao8982]

Skarmory being on Jasmine's team wouldnt make sense since it would give her the means to fly to Cianwood and get medicine for her Ampharos. By extension I guess they wanted to make the pokemon as rare as possible so that evem a Steel type gym leader would have trouble finding one.

[@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.

[@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!

[@AvalosTokyo]

Which game title is playing at 9:28? Those battle graphics look decent, I haven't seen a pokemon game look this good...

[@rjd1922]

That's just Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl.

[@VictoriousVulpix]

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

[@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

[@ogfire6]

13:51 That was gold!! 🔥🔥

[@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.

[@ShadowFiend777]

In SoulSilver they actually help Misdreavus by making it obtainable in Safari Zone and I went out of my way to catch one to use during my Kanto run. Idk if it still hardcounters Reds team in this version but that would certainly help seeing as I actually havent finished my SoulSilver Kanto run at the time of this comment.

[@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.

[@Oshamalapo]

What's in the name? 3:15

[@Bravidunno]

Is there any trainer in RSE that has a Corphish in their teams? In RS, I'm pretty sure no trainer has a Phanpy or Donphan in their teams, I'd say the same thing about GSC. Speaking of RS, no trainer had a Crawdaunt or a Kingdra outside of Battle Tower, until Emerald fixed it. ...and yes it's pretty dumb that the new Pokémon that you see battle facilities aren't registered in your Pokédex as seen Pokémon, especially if you want to memorize their cries by spamming them in the Pokédex.

[@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”.

[@possumpropaganda6684]

Misdreavus and its evolution is one of my big faves (Screw what people say about stats, mine is the only reason I beat Cynthia by using Perish Song on Garchomp, and held out without fainting during that battle) I wish it got more love in the games, its design is the perfect mix of creepy and cute, and every pokemon game I've had in the last decade, my champion team has always had a misdreavus or mismagius on it.

[@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.

[@BrontoSmilodon1]

Grumpiog did have an anime debut episode

[@TheFirstCurse1]

Yet another reason why Gen V is the best is because Black and White did such an amazing job with it's Pokedex. Every Pokemon felt perfect for the areas you discovered them in, they all felt represented and seen, and overall it was the best in terms of having the new Pokemon.

[@wilderking8476]

Misdreavous acting like it wasn’t op in the past…
