The starters are near your house because of the “cutscene” that involves your starter and meowth

[@eddiemate]

I was about to mention that. For those who don’t know, It’s easier (and very common) for game developers to have assets loaded but hidden outside of the player's view and warp it in when it’s required. Trying to place a model out of nowhere on command can be a little... messy to say the least.

[@Christian-rn1ur]

If you're ever wondering why stuffs just in strange places like in sun and moon, they're kind of like placeholders. It's used to save on memory - lots of games do it so they don't have to spawn in new assets, they can just move them around instead when they're needed.

[@ThatGhostGal]

I’ve got a guess on why the starter Pokémon are outside your character’s house in the void. I assume it’s something similar the first two Paper Mario games, where objects are stored in the void so they can be loaded in during a cutscene. This probably means the Pokémon are probably stored there so the game can load the Pokémon you chose in order to play the cutscene where you take it to see your mom and Meowth.

[@akeekgupta4033]

[@akaboji]

i think an interesting thing to try (in a single game or all of them!) is, if you leave town without choosing a starter and trigger a rival battle event, what starter would they have? since their starter depends on which one you picked! i've experimented a lot with dppt glitches but never thought to try this... for example, leaving town in pokemon heartgold/soulsilver (and possibly catching a regular pokemon or using a code to generate a random pokemon in the pc box), then passing over the tiles in cherrygrove city that trigger the rival battle with silver. if you have a normal pokemon in your party, i'd assume the battle would load correctly, but i wonder what starter he'd be given!

[@cookiesam321]

I know this comment is two years old, but I have an answer for this, at least for Gold/Silver: he takes the middle Pokémon. You don’t get to see it in battle since those games won’t let you get into a battle at all, like Pokétips covered in Part 2, but when you go back to see Elm, only the middle Pokéball is missing.

[@sernai6788]

6:41 Top ten surprising anime character returns

[@pengie-gw2lu]

About the pokemon in the void in Sun/Moon At one point in the game, there's a short animated cutscene of sorts where your starter gets to met your mom's Meowth. A common thing for game devs to do is to store character models for a cutscene out of bounds in the actual scene so that when the cutscene comes up, they only have to move the model instead of instantiate a new one

[@stormstrike4681]

Can you see what happens if you enter the hall of fame without any Pokémon in gold and silver

[@kirbywithaknifeisawesome6028]

4:16 I understand this. (I think) it keeps sprits loaded and puts them in the room when needed. If not, they are a few units away (I learned from paper MARIO)

[@crystalcrusader711]

I think I know what happened when you walked though walls in Sun and Moon. It’s mapping is a tad different, most likely because it’s a 3d game not a 2d game so the assets for the house where the only things loaded in because you didn’t leave the house the normal way so the map could load properly. That’s why everything is black. You can see the interior of the house as well as the bit of the outside you can see from your porch. The three starters are there for the future cutscene when you take your starter home and they interact with your mother and her Meowth. The starter models are stored out of bounds so that later they can just be teleported into the room when you begin the cutscene.

[@SSBBPOKEFAN]

I'd say my favorites were Gen 4 (cause screwing with story flags is always fun) and Gen 7 (turning off random encounters before you have a Pokémon is pretty interesting).

[@fIorapetals]

You know what? This is super old so it probably doesn’t matter and I bet somebody’s already said this, but I THINK the Alola starters might be under your house because of the cutscene where you introduce your starter of choice to your mom? It’s super common for games to place entities needed for cutscenes in the void under the area they need show up in so it’s easier to call them up when cutscenes get loaded. Maybe there’s a similar logic going on here?

[@kofww]

I guess the three starters in the house are used when you like step into the house after getting one of them. I remeber it triggers an event where the starter appears next to you, so the devs put them there just for this event

The Sun/Moon starters are probably loaded in the void of the house so the game can just place them into the house cutscenes later, like when you return home and show it to your mom and Meowth. IDK for sure tho, might need to do a crossover with Boundary Break to figure it out.

4:26 - Future cutscenes involving the Pokémon you picked.

[@Lokear]

I know this is super duper late, but I believe the starters are in the Sun and Moon void because of Kukui's visit AFTER you get a starter. The starter you chose appears in your house then, so the game probably just warps the starter you chose into the house for that and keeps the other two in the void. Since you can choose, it keeps all three out there until it knows which one is yours.

[@WhiteTenpenny]

3:40 (anti social people) *door bell gets rung* Ight, imma head out.

Explanation for the models there: They are stored there for the cutscene with the starter Pokemon. They need to store them near by. There is also a hidden bathroom in the house as well as a hidden garage that was scrapped at some point during development
