Ruby and Sapphire's Big Secret? 10 Obscure Pokémon Secrets and Easter Eggs - Gen Three

Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire are some of the most beloved Pokemon games ever. They began a new era for the franchise, and brought about a lot of new features and innovations. However, the games also have a lot of obscure secrets and Easter eggs in them that have come about over time, and in this video I will be highlighting some of these unusual and interesting things that have come out of the third generation of Pokemon!

@@Harold_Wilson That's not even remotely similar since the only cut content Gen 3 had was the e-reader room upon being localized instead of the bast majority of the pokedex because "reasons". That without mentioning the fact that you are paying the price of a full game (without counting the DLC's) for an unfinished product (sw/sh) when there are games (in the Switch) that not only cost way less but also have 2 full games for that price.

People who bring up the argument of "but but BUT gen fwee didn't have all da monstas eider" are just kissing ass and don't realize that the monsters were still in the files of the gen 3, games. I'm currently playing my copy of ruby with a team of normally unobtainable pokemon in the playthrough including Houndoom and Donphan, MEANING THEIR FILES ARE IN THE GAME UNLIKE SWSH, you ignorant apologetic fucks

[@rocketeer9183]

lot of people seem to forget that. there has never been a time where they decided not to focus on the full dex without backlash. it happened with 3 and 5 before 8, and theyre not even the same situation because the mons were still available in the data. obviously the average player is not going to hack unobtainable pokemon in the game but there is still a difference between focus on a new dex with a remake or additional game with the rest of the roster vs an official shaving of the pokedex with no option to use the unobtainable mons unless youre paying for home + holding out that maybe the mons you like will be available the next gen in 3 years. sword and shield also dont have the same problems gen 3 and 5 had.

"No one complained about it back in gen 3..." Bro, were you even alive in 2003? It was a wildly unpopular decision when the games were released. Further, to compare Dexit to RSE is ridiculous as, unlike gen 8, the games had all of the Pokemon coded into them and, even the Pokemon you could not catch in the base game, had completely overhauled artwork and animations.

[@loulou3676]

To this day Gen 3 and Gen 8 are the only gens of Pokemon I didn't buy at least one game of, both times because of the Pokedex issues.

[@AzureKyle]

I must have been in the minority then, because as a young teen I didn't really care about it all that much, I was just excited about all the new Pokemon I would get to catch and use, just like I've felt every gen. Hell, my first Sword playthrough I didn't use a single non-Galar Pokemon, I didn't even use the Galar forms. As far as I've seen, the only ones really complaining about the lack of national dex were the competitive players, because they couldn't bring their fully trained teams over. But I think it was for the best, because it got some fresh Pokemon into the meta and made people change things up.

They always point the finger at people like me saying that we are toxic or hypocritical for “not getting what we want”. The mental gymnastics amaze me. I’m sorry but all I want is a good game, sometimes beloved game companies, like Game Freak make bad games.

I remember being soooooo confused as a kid with altering cave, its so disappointing that they never did anything with it like they planned

[@Whurlpuul]

You lie! What is there to be confused about? Nothing!

[@aikou2886]

11:00 I don't think what happened on Gen 3 can be compared with the dexit fiasco of sw/sh for two main reasons. 1) The data was still there on the Gen 3 games (you have to buy a DLC on gen 8 because the data is not even on the base games) so they never cut anything at all (if anything the only "cut content" was the e-reader room but I don't remember if people actually complained about that back then). 2) It was due to technical limitations in the sense that the way the "genetics" were coded changed drastically. Besides, their excuse to cut over 60% on the dex on gen 8 was because "they would work on the models and animations" for the new 'mons that were to be included in the game (which mind you, was less than those available in Gen 1) but it was later discovered that not only they used the same exact models but also reclycled animation rigs for both pokemon and NPC's while leaving some of the most mediocre attack animations there (not counting the poor attack animations during dmax). Double kick anyone? And that's why "nobody complained on Gen 3". If you want to argue that forcing players to buy the full set of games is similar to the current DLC situation then you must remember that since the data was already there in the base games you could just get an AR or any pokemon generating tool and that would solve your problem in an instant. PS: Forgot about the obvious hardware limitations that also contributed to the factor of Gen 2~3 compatibility but if anything that's even worse for gen 8 since they don't even have those issues as an excuse to cut content from the games.

[@metleon]

"...meaning they did not have all the Pokemon, just as is the case with Sword and Shield." Except all 386 Pokemon are actually programmed into Ruby and Sapphire and the games can be switched to National Dex mode by trading with (at least) Fire Red and Leaf Green. Even Unown ? and ! were programmed in, so only the 3 other forms of Deoxys weren't in the games.

[@Charizard215]

They also didn’t make excuses for creating a sub-par experience overall. “wE waNTeD tO MakE mORe ExpResSiVe PokÉMoN”

[@shockburst569]

The let’s go game didn’t have all of the Pokémon and all attacks in it and yet nobody complained

[@Charizard215]

Shock Burst It was obviously not a main game. They made that pretty clear from the beginning.

[@ZombieBarioth]

You still couldn't trade your old Pokemon over, which is the main reason people were upset about the dex cut, something they've been considering since gen 5 btw. As for Let's Go, those were officially announced as main series games regardless of how "obviously spinoffs" they were. You could perhaps consider them to Pokemon what 2D Mario is to the Mario series, as they're both the more casual friendly entries.

[@metleon]

@@ZombieBarioth Yeah not being able to transfer the Pokemon was a problem, but SwSh kind of have the opposite problem where we have the means to transfer Pokemon (Home) but they're not programmed into the game. And I do remember not liking how you couldn't transfer Pokemon back then, but I do see now that it was for the best to get rid of everything about a Pokemon being determined by its DV's. I don't see anything good coming out of Dexit other than a possibly more balanced metagame, which they seem to be screwing up by including every legendary in the DLC.

[@jennahsalvador4638]

......... It frustrated the hell out of young me when the change from gbc to gba happened and there was no way to connect between the two systems. I understood that it was because of the lack of physical hardware that could communicate between the two though. I forgave and got over it with time, but that is still a frustation that no one whose first pokemon game was from a later generation than the change will understand. For every game since, except for some of Sword and Shield, Game Freak has made a widely available method of taking your previous pokemon with you to the new game. With the tech I possess, I will never be able to play with the specific pokemon I caught and raised on gbc as a child in any other game. And thanks to the batteries that died in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, I have lost the three Mews I stood in line for at one of the Nintendo distribution events in 1999 prior to the US release of Gold, Silver and Crystal and the second pokemon movie.

I think you’re forgetting the backlash gen 3 had back then. The inability to transfer was a deal breaker for A LOT of fans. many dropped out of Pokémon as a result. Might be the origin of the “genwunners.”

[@AzureKyle]

No, the origin of genwunners came from the time of gen 2. A good majority of the kids who were 10 when gen 1 released (the game's target audience) fell out of Pokemon because it was no longer 'cool', around the release of gen 2. And a lot of kids would pick on the people who remained fans of Pokemon, myself included, calling us babies for still liking baby stuff. It's those people that ended up becoming genwunners, once they saw how popular it was becoming again, but taken aback by how much it had changed over the years, only having played the originals. Getting overwhelmed by the number of Pokemon they had gotten up to, when they were just used to the 151, and wanting to go back to the glory days of nostalgia, when they were younger and things were simpler.

[@Rika24]

@@AzureKyle growing up i never saw any hate for Gen2. the Pokemon League at my local Toys R Us was still packed, even increasing with the releases of S/G/C (Stadium 2 was pretty big where everyone came to play against each other). i only started noticing a decline when Gen 3 came out. not sure when it officially closed though since i stopped going during Gen 3 (i got into Digimon instead).

@@Rika24 I never said there was hate for gen 2, it's just a lot of people I knew and went to school with that stopped liking the games at that point, because it was no longer 'cool' to the majority.

Gen 3 was not my first generation but it is absolutely my favorite.

But despite all of it, I spent so many hours in Hoenn trying to complete my Pokedex and discover every secret these games had to offer.

Dude, as an active fan at the time, there was HUGE backlash about not having all the Pokemon.

But at least with Unova, we'd faced this before and knew had the ability to trade up from Gen IV so... -shrug- I was so sad how Hoenn became like "the forgotten generation" due to how many people didn't play it (I would say Gen 3 as a whole really). I got all my friends into years later when I gushed about the plot and showed off my team at sleepovers. I even was on a fandom RP community not long before the remakes came out and there was some discussion in the group all "Archie is from Pokemon. I think he was like a gym leader or something?" I legit feel like the remakes only really got support between Chuggaaconroy and Twitch Plays Pokemon sparking interest in the game's since so many people didn't play them.

[@supersaiyansalamence]

I think the reason people didn’t make such an uproar about not being able to transfer GBC Pokémon to GBA cartridges is because they internet wasn’t as prevalent back then and there wasn’t really anywhere for people to voice their frustration. Also the Pokémon’s codings were in the game, so even though they weren’t obtainable in game it was still possible to get them. I actually got every single Pokémon in Emerald back when completing a Pokédex actually meant something. Getting Celebi was such a pain in the ass because I had to track down a Japanese copy of Pokémon Coliseum and do the whole thing where you connect your GBA cartridge to your GameCube

[@danielamaro4656]

Gen 3 had a HUGE backlash back in the day. It wasn't until later when people finally calmed down that they finally realized how fun the game was. The real issue was that gen 1 & 2 were set up under a completely different system, the biggest point being finally splitting the special stat into a special defense and special offense stat. This among a few other issues meant that there was no reasonable way to transfer the older ones into the new one without either creating severely overpowered Pokemon by letting the players keep the trained up stats on both sections, or severely crippling ones that had training time put into it. The whole reason the remakes were released was for the specific reason of finally letting people complete the pokedex again.

[@Tronerfull]

"Only eight year after the originals and with a minor jump on quality", that just tells me you dont know anything. To you living in the current year it may seem a small jump on quality, but it wasnt , it was a huge improvement to go from game boy color to game boy advance, the remakes didnt only improve upon the original graphics but also the gameplay and gave a lot of new content to the original. Fire red and Leaf green were the first celebration of pokemon being able to survive that long.

That may not necessarily be the case. In order to fix the dead battery issue, you must also start a new save file. Though it wouldn’t hurt to get the berry glitch fixed anyway

[@therizzler777]

[@ionryful]

Problem with Gen 3 was totally different than what happened with Sw/Sh. With gen 3, it was technical limitations at the time that didn't allow transfer, but the all the data for the Pokemon were available(sprites, moves, cries, shinies, etc.) With Sw/Sh this wasn't the case at all, trying to make new games yearly is a big flaw, and their excuse that they had to remake all the models from scratch was proven to be a lie as most of the returning Pokemons' models were similar or exactly the same as models from gen 6 & 7. Even Gen 3 has all the data for the previous Pkm, but Gen 8 did not; even some moves were excluded. Recap: Gen 3: Gamefreak couldn't figure out a program for a transfer process from GB(C)/Gen 1/2 to GBA/Gen3 at the time. Gen 8: Sw/Sh was rushed for GF's yearly quota and had lied to fans for the reason why Pokemon were excluded. Two totally different scenarios.

[@NagaYamiyo]

THANK YOU!!! Seriously people need to stop comparing the two, as it is not the same problem!

[@ceilyurie856]

not top mention they didn't paywall off your old pokemon deliberately. it was ahrdware. ANd thanks to how you can't get both box legendaries, or more than one like in gen7, you have to apy for P0okemon prison or lose all your GMax form pokemon, since Gmax trait isjn't passed on by breeding. ANd t5hey are giving us 100 pokemon back in two 15 dollar dlc in one expansion pass with like 5 new pokemon and exclusive new regional legendaries...which cna't be bred for. SO if you want them, have to cheat, or pay. I bet there will eb another 30 dollar expansion pass announced later too, since almost all the deleted pokemon got updates to their breeding and learnable moves lsits, includig gen8 TRs. On ALL the missing pokemon. I feel no motivation to try getting into competitive again, because it feels pointless ebcause Big Mega Mode is either an instant win or instant lose button.

[@NagaYamiyo]

@@ceilyurie856 I was never big into competitive battling but I liked having the competitive mons back in XY. But Gen 7 I hated everything online and the EV training made no sense to me... Now 8 the online is an even worse dumbster fire!... It's amazing how they went from such a perfect online system like the PSS in Gen 6 to the Y-com in Gen 8...

[@ZombieBarioth]

@Ceil Yurie Or you could, you know, do what the series was designed for and trade for them.If they wanted to paywall the Pokemon they wouldn't update the games in such a way, what you're really paying for is the map and new story content.

[@ChangedMyNameFinally69]

Compare it to the other remakes

[@GhostTwinkek]

@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Comparing it doesn't make it minor, it just makes it look less impressive, but that's not actually the reality of the situation. 1. The remake obtained true color. 2. It upgraded from 8 to 16 bit. 3. Massive redesign/sprite overhaul That's obviously massive. Suggesting otherwise means it's somehow not worth mentioning, and there was barely a reason for the remake even though it brought color to the first generation, and realized it. Fire Red & Leaf Green really solidified what we know gen 1 as today.

[@SlowForest]

2:02 Bruh I just checked it today

[@THENikNak]

A few things about the gen 3 vs Gen 8 thing. 1) The Pokémon were all coded in and intended to be obtainable. Something not immediate clear about sword and shield at the time of the controversy. 2) General audiences were younger and in an age without readily accessible internet and social media to the scope we have today. So controversy didn’t spread as quickly or as fervently. 3) Long before sword and shield I’ve heard plenty of classic Pokémon fans lament that they couldn’t bring their gen 2 mon over to gen 3. For attachment reasons and cause of old GB batteries.

[@Dante02d12]

You're dead wrong about the comparison between 3G and 8G but many other comments already explained. So I'll just sum up the History of "Pokemon cuts". 1G and 2G : You can catch them all, but you need to trade with others in order to get version exclusives (and Starters and Legendaries). 3G : You can't catch all 386 Pokemons in one game, but all of them do exist in-game. Besides, the Hoenn Dex is a mix of Pokemons from all generations, there's the 130 or so new creatures along with 150 from previous gens. Then, FRLG and Emerald completed the collection by bringing the hundreds or so that didn't make the cut to this generation. In the end, all Pokemons are available through all games of this generation. There _was_ an outrage, and the sales actually suffered from it, but the fact is all Pokemons do exist in every game of this generation. 5G : Again, you can't catch all Pokemons, but they still exist in the codes. However the Unova Dex is comprised of ONLY the 151 new Pokemons. None of the 493 others are obtainable in BW (except maybe in the postgame? I don't remember). That caused a huge outrage too, but Game Freak fixed that with BW2, where the Dex is a mix between all generations. 8G : A huge chunk of the previous Pokemons don't exist at all. They aren't coded, and that's the point of the "Dexit" : Game Freak wants to deliver higher quality, and they can't do that if they have to program all 900 Pokemons every single time. The problem, of course, is SwSh are low quality games even despite the Dex cut. However, New Pokemon Snap and Legends proved their point: with a limited number of Pokemon, they can deliver something better. It doesn't change the fact that the outrage is deserved though, especially since they did bring back a few hundreds of creatures *and locked them behind a paywall.* Yes, the History of Pokemon is filled with dark times, lol. But looking back at it, it's funny how each situation is unique, like the response of Game Freak for every crisis. In the case of 3G, they had clearly planned that all Pokemons would be split between the games. In the case of 5G, I feel like they tried to reboot the franchise by erasing all existing Pokemons, but chickened out after the outrage and decided to add back a lot of them in the sequel (that said, since the older gen creatures were already programmed in the first game, I'm probably wrong). As for 8G, they handled the situation very poorly. The easy solution would be to make temporary National cut: they release the games with half of the Dex, and progressively add the others. That would still mean using resources to work on all of the 1000 Pokemons, but that would make the job easier for them. I'm personally not against the Dex cut, as long as we still get at least 400 creatures in the main games. Legends had only 250, and although I loved this game, I want more than that for SV and the following ones.

Well it's possible to trade Pokemon from gen1 and gen 2 it's just complicated and requires some perchases depending on if it's a card or rom. The main reason you can't trade Pokemon in my opinion is how EVs work in those games, when following the steps to transfer your rom Pokemon to gen 3 the EVs are over the maximum 720 and would cause Pokemon to be overpowered since it's higher than normal.
