Ok I've subscribed.

I demand compilations on this channel ☺️

[@Blaze_pac]

I was supposed to have this in the background, but I watched the whole thing and now I'm behind on my work!

[@mooglethyst]

Knowing "pika pi" means "Satoshi" makes that scene in the first movie where Ash turns to stone and Pikachu's shaking him saying "pika pi, pika pi" hurt ALL THE MORE 😭

[@cammy649]

Atleast he didn't say "it's pikause"

[@TheZackofSpades]

I still just can’t believe Ash really tried to throw hands with Mewtwo…didn’t think that one out at all

[@jouheikisaragi6075]

The fact that I could recall that scene from simply reading the comment despite having watched the move ONCE over 15 years ago is a testament to both the movie's quality and Ohtani's shockingly(pun intended) great acting.

It almost changes the entire way you look at Pikachu

The Azure Flute was “too confusing”....what about the Regi puzzles in Gen III...?🙃

[@psyffee3755]

Nah, everyone knows how to read Braille of course.

[@Greigames]

@@psyffee3755 that is, read braille flat on a screen of course

[@SwiftCreationStudio]

@@Greigames it's a hell of a lot easier than reading if you're blind.

[@CJ9007]

I could NEVER figure that out when I was growing up and didn’t have anything to look up what to do there.

[@SwiftCreationStudio]

@@CJ9007 I knew about braille before I saw it there. Knew about it in books. I just couldn't figure out what some of the codes meant.

[@megacaviagek]

I do remember being hyped about the touch-screen. This was in the period when smartphones didn't used to be mainstream. It felt very futuristic.

[@madhatt3r93]

The future is now, my man

[@k0ngbuster]

I agree, I had a similar mindset at the time, and thought it felt very natural and intuitive just to tap the touch screen to perform all kinds of actions in Diamond and Pearl. Not to mention, having a ton of fun with the digging and excavating mechanic of all of those stones and fossils in the underground, throughout The Sinnoh Region.

[@jek__]

Personally I never really liked it. No matter how intuitive and large they make the buttons on the lower screen you will always need to look back and fourth between two screens, because you can't feel the buttons anymore and they can change locations to anywhere. Plus pushing buttons is inherently fun! It's fun to push buttons even if theyre not connected to actions in a game, removing that makes things less manually satisfying

[@chrisrichfield8906]

​​@@jek__ even before the touchscreen, I would memorize the order of my moves so I could press the buttons faster than I could read the moves. I also developed that muscle memory with the touchscreen, which btw, you didn't need to use, you could still use the buttons. The only control change that irked me was the removal of L=A, which I believe they brought back.

[@ThatPianoNoob]

Sadly they've ruined an entire generation from being properly emulated just for this ultimately stupid gimmick. If it was anything but we would still have it today.

[@seki108]

The Azure Flute excuse is still by far one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

[@tyronbickerton5657]

The "Britney Spearow" thing really made me laugh. Their response where they'd had enough of Nob's shenanigans lol.

[@pabloallende1914]

They probably thought it was too obvious and Britney can sue them for the joke

[@greathorn]

It’s such an innocent joke and the idea of Nintendo being like “NEVER DO THIS AGAIN” is very funny

[@BAIGAMING]

27:01 I always enjoy this fact. This happened because pikachu was a rare spawn in the first forest (the forest with all the bug catchers) and is probably the only interesting catch aside from a bunch of bugs, and bugs were especially terrible in Gen 1. Pikachu wouldn't do well against the rock gym, but was still such an interesting looking pokemon, and since many players would catch it in the beginning it was a very popular one that many people would talk about as something in common. If the developers chose not to put pikachu in the first forest, then players would not have talked about pikachu that much as an early pokemon they had in common, and the anime could've been completely different.

[@Awec4]

It's better than that, because the reason why the developer put Pikachu in Viridian Forest was because he liked Pikachu and didn't want him to become popular, so he purposefully made Pikachu hard to find.

[@ldmtag]

Wouldn't do well? Nah, it wouldn't do SH*T! Charmander can very effectively Ember down Brock's Geodude and than use Growl during Onix's Bide turns and Ember immediately after. Pikachu even being slightly overleveled simply refuses to last in this battle. Even Geodude is a problem for Pika.

[@OmniMitch]

"The obsession with cleanliness is a Japanese mindset." Oh, self-burn! Those are rare!

[@ryanahr2267]

Gen IV is still my favorite, particularly because of the touchscreen functionality. I really loved being able to monitor my daycare pokemon and know as soon as egg was laid so I could immediately fly back over there. I really miss that function, honestly.

[@angel-of-light-kelly1355]

I miss the watch. So many useful apps, even if many sucked. The daycare app, marking app (I used it to mark which honey trees I put honey on), the type matchup app, the friendship checker, and more...

[@breawycker]

It's always funny hearing stories about how companies think their games are going to fail and then end up becoming the 2nd best selling video game franchise of all time

[@angel-of-light-kelly1355]

It’s kinda like how Final Fantasy was called that because Square was suffering at the time, so they thought this could be their last game.

[@FGHypnotiq]

Not even just the 2nd best selling franchise. It's the highest grossing media property in the world!

[@CLOYO]

@@angel-of-light-kelly1355 So they made it their best.

[@iamtaco4207]

Humble beginnings and passionate people with solid ideas.

[@famuel2604]

They didn’t think it would fail. They thought they were capitalising on the very popular previous games, and wanted to make it as best they could. They’re actually correct in that Pokémon was as popular when gold and silver came out the series was as popular as it would ever be. Generation one is still the best selling generation and generation two is the second best.

[@tohaneploho9009]

Gamefreak: flute is to hard to understand Also Gamefreak: this Pokémon should represent antimatheria to appose time and space

The Pokemon-Formula needs to be Shaken up. A lot. Starting at the Start: What about a Battle-Cafe or Fight-Restaurant sponsoring you?! Youre just one of many, but of course, as a player, your way better and you win, so the Owner says: „Oh, i’ve seen you have remarkable talent. You may go and enjoy your now-earned free Coffee, but consider that you can earn even more if you work for us. How about you travel the world and spread the word about our wonderful Cafe? We give you our weakest Rent-Pokemon, send you off with a bit of money!" What about your Parents sponsoring you? Stop with the Small Village, i say. I wanna be a Make-a-Wish-Foundation-Member who is faced with the Impossible: A Child that has Cancer. A Child that has Cancer and 1 Wish. The Wish to see his Idol: The Pride of his Homeland: The Champion of the Region! But... but the Champ is gone! He has vanished!

[@RendMaim]

Also hey kids wanna learn braille?

[@YouSoSpice]

[@user-uv2cp1qd1j]

I love the idea of Masuda seeing someone use a touch screen with a stylus, thinking it was lame, then adjusting the features in DPP so you can use them with your finger

[@ScathingSarcasm]

I was ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with voltorb flip. I would play it for hours at a time. I don't know why, I'm terrible at number games like sudoku, but I loved it.

[@BrimBlam]

I'm glad Ho-oh's theme stayed as is. You can tell it went through rigorous changes and variations, but with how hard it slaps Im glad its what it is.

[@yoblazes]

HAHAHAHA!!! The dude feeding his face with fist-fulls of donut, while he was explaining the intricacies of translating as an art was hilarious. I don't even know what to call that type of humor, but if I had to label, it was the best, "subtle, left field" humor I've ever seen. Well played

[@samster101229]

Another interesting fact about Pikachurin. Pikachu had made a cameo in the live action/animated comedy, Osmosis Jones. The movie is about a white blood cell "Ozzy" and cold pill, "Drix" saving the host., Frank from a virus. With the movie being about the functions inside a person's body, Pikachu actually made the cameo BEFORE Pikachurin's discovery

[@VampPhoenix99]

Bats and foxes are my favourite animals so seeing the baby Zubat and the baby Vulpix in succession actually made me tear up a little bit. And then a kitten!!!! Oh, how wonderful.

[@ERprepper]

Can you imagine having a game where the catch phrase is “gotta catch em all” and then not releasing the Azure flute allowing players to catch one of the strongest Pokémon in the game and the only way to legitimately catch them all?

[@stuntminer144]

Honestly half my beef with the modern games is this exactly. Making a pretty big portion of the pokedex tiring, unlikely, or even impossible, to catch is such a dumb move. I'm still locked out of a lot of pokemon in my copy of Black 2 because they rely on internet services that have been discontinued years ago. And good luck if you have a pokemon that evolves through trading. The other half is just graphics. I might just be a boomer, but the 3D visuals just *really* don't do it for me.

[@pabloallende1914]

They distribute an arceus later in the same generation, that's the first arceus the video talk about when describing the ruins of hgss

[@HoodieDragon]

I find the beta designs for Gen 2's legendary dogs really interesting, because they look more like the pokemon that died in the burned tower. Does anyone else see a similarity or is it just me?

[@Forestxavier20]

I love how they are using footage from Chuggaaconroy's Platinum Playthrough. (Bodhi, Psythe, Acrobat)

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

I am from a German speaking country, thus grew up with the German versions of the first gen games. However never in my life have I heard of those rumors of a fourth Abra line evolution called Bin. Not even those first few slowly appearing cheats and walkthrough sites that rather spread stupid rumours than actual cheats and walkthroughs had Bin mentioned anywhere.

[@ginger_queen8108]

4:26 Wow, its almost as if pushing back a title's release to make sure the game is _finished_ is a good idea. Pokemon games' sales were declining, and there's a reason behind why DPP broke that trend.

[@timucinkiylioglu4893]

If I remember correctly they had problems with implementing the online features. Thats why they had to postpone the release date.

[@bishopspechulure9821]

"Great effort was taken to integrate the new 3d with the artstyle of the series" Really ironic hearing that after the gen four remake trailer

The spirit of Pokemon has alwayse been trying to obtain something rare and exclusive. It started with mew, and continued on with shiny Pokemon in gen 2. I don't know if they knew at the time what they were doing when they didn't give out the azure flute, but it lead to my favorite glitch of all time, and Darkrai, and shaymin, were the Pokemon I had that no one else could catch. And pokemon diamond is still my favorite Pokemon game of all time.

As someone that grew up with Spanish pokemon red/blue I didn't think of that I actually thought that there was a word "portaso" that meant slam but in another Spanish talking country like Mexico they say "chido" in El Salvador they say "chivo" Guatemala "Chevere". So for me, I believe my knowledge of "international Spanish" (from other Spanish speaking countries)was lacking and no thinking that a pokemon is evil by default and slams doors to others sound just stupid....

[@jedstanaland2897]

Something interesting about the DS and beyond games is that the touch screen loads just a tiny bit faster than the player can make decisions with the buttons. You can see and interact with the touch screen about a half second before you can do that through the buttons. Even if you are pressing the buttons to interact with the game before the screen loads or as soon as you see it you will still have about a half second between the time you see the options and when you can interact with them through the physical buttons but the touch screen is able to be interactive up to a half second before you can see the options. This will vary depending on the system and what is loading but most of the time your buttons will be locked out until about a half second after you can see the options.

[@rompevuevitos222]

The names in spanish are decent, the problem is that many need to be pronounced in english to not sound like you had a stroke and as you may imagine, those that use the translations are not the ones that know english, let alone the pronunciations So "Caterpie" sounds like "Cater foot", "Squirtle" sounds like someone messing with the spelling on purpose and sounds like "Skirtleh", "Spearow " sounds like "Speharou", etc
