WEIRD Mistakes In Pokemon Games!

[@BonzuP.theThird]

Blaine saying you better have brought some burn heals when you battle him in gen 1, was actually some clever foreshadowing about the moon balls in gen 2. The more you know 💫

[@myheartismadeofstars]

you joke but I actually have a fakemon that evolves with a burn heal (it's a fire type healer that has a move called cauterize which inflicts burn)

[@PhilCapelli]

Fun fact I only know because I’m Italian and I played the original Pokémon Red in Italian: The move pound was translated incorrectly in gen 1, and it was called “Libbra”, as the unit of measure. This was later fixed in the gen 2 games and the move has been called “Botta” ever since. It’s super random but I thought it would be fun to share 😅

[@mudboy5]

in pre gen 6 spanish translations, there's A LOT of really bad ones. most prominently "counter" translated to "contador", which literally means accountant or "something that counts/tells"

[@DivisibleByWaffle]

Reminds me of something somebody told me once about the translation for "Slam" in the Spanish versions of the games. They translated it as "Portazo," or, "Door slam." I don't speak Spanish, but I thought this was hilarious.

[@KurwaUnited]

In German pound was translated with Pfund what is the measurement for 500 grams. In Gen 6 it was corrected to Klaps what is just a harder pat.xD Edit: It was changed in Gen 8.

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

​@@KurwaUnitedThat was already in the 6th gen? I thought it took them until the 8th gen because the first time I read the name of that move was when I played Sword and I thought it was a newly introduced move.

[@KurwaUnited]

@@Grey_Warden_Invasion Right! You are right! How could I mixed this up? My bad. It was really late they changed it.

[@diogoalmeida4293]

Actually Megaphone was Megahorn's beta name. Also Mindy's Haunter is holding an Everstone as a coverup. Turns out, In-Game Trades in Gen 4 do not trigger evolutions. People have tried to put Kadabra in place of Haunter to test it (since Kadabra in gen 4 could evolve while holding an Everstone), and they have tried to remove the everstone altogether in attempts to have the pokemon recieved evolve, and the game just straight up won't trigger evolution via In-Game Trade. This is a huge oversight of Gen 4 that a lot of Gen 4 rom hackers know about that for some reason people just ignore and pretend it doesn't exist, when we know it's there. Gamefreak didn't do it cause they wanted to troll you, they wanted to hide the fact that they somehow broke In-Game Trades in Gen 4.

[@Oturan20]

Ah... Incompetence disguised as trolling.

[@lugiamastero13]

Lmao no way xD dang this is a pretty hilarious revelation

[@nihildwo4874]

abnd well, this was prolly the dumbest way to cover it up. they could just have changed the haunter to a different pokemon.

[@enoyna1001]

Is this true? Do you have a link where it is confirmed in the game's coding? It's the first time I'm reading this explanation and it's absolutely hilarious!

[@ryguy7227]

I'm imagining the Megahorn thing was still a mistake. In Japanese, Megahorn is written just as it is in English, メガホーン (lit. "Megahōn") with the obvious difference that there is no "r" as they don't really have one. If I removed that second "o" sound to make it メガホン, it's now identical to the Japanese word for a megaphone. Whether they missed the extra vowel sound in the first draft of the translation or the actual Japanese I can't say, but it's likely a language error due to those words being so close and the intent was always to have it be Megahorn.

[@WolfBergMenace]

In Pokemon Platinum they gave some random Galactic Grunt at the Azelf lake a Glameow with Fire Fang, a move it cannot learn at all.

[@brendanboomhour7606]

Indy is hated while S and V's Blossom is actually liked, as the Haunter she trades you for a Pincurhin actually evolves, and the pokemon you need to trade is literally a few hundred meters away

[@DryBones271]

Here's some mistakes: In Emerald there's a trainer with a Lanturn that knows Earthquake. In RS the Revival Herb is NOT a max revive, it's just a worse revive since it lowers happiness.

[@robertlupa8273]

I wonder how the Lanturn mistake happened. Did they originally intend it to be Claydol or something, but then changed their mind (and forgot to change the moveset)?

[@Slenderquil]

@@robertlupa8273 maybe they mixed up whiscash and lanturn?

[@robertlupa8273]

@@Slenderquil That would make more sense. Thank you.

[@TitanKaiju75]

I am *SICK* of modern games making the Apricorn Balls (although this also applies to the Beast Ball and Dream Ball) so needlessly difficult to reliably obntain. There's no reason for it, especially when the balls in question are admittedly a lot more niche and less reliable in actual usefulness than their easier to obtain alternatives. If the player is actually going out of their way to obtain and use them to try to catch Pokémon, it's more than likely for aesthetic purposes. Just let the player use whatever type of Poké Ball they want to catch their favorite Pokémon in without having to spend potential hours grinding or soft resetting just to get a single ball!

[@HeartOfClod]

4:59 Here's a mistake in the video: He probably meant to say Origin Form, and not Origin Pulse 😛

[@javadkhusro]

In BDSP, in patch 1.1.1, the Berry Master's wife will use the same dialogue as in DPPt, where she sold "mulch" instead of berries. It was changed by the 1.3.0 patch to talk about berries.

[@ninacochrane569]

BDSP had zero QC, didn't it. Like, how does that not get caught?

[@peardude8979]

@@ninacochrane569 It probably did get caught, but the bosses needed the game out *now*, not when it's actually finished.

[@MarthaVsHumanity]

@@ninacochrane569At least it got fixed eventually. Unlike the game-crashing bug in Legends Arceus with Giratina.

[@enoyna1001]

Everything that involves BDSP is probably more buggy than the entire generation 1.

[@Thund3rDrag0n12]

Wow they really just copy/pasted DP's code for BDSP huh lmao

[@TheStarsTwilight]

Here's a slightly more obscure but easy to replicate mistake: In Pokemon Black and White, if you save on top of the ladder of the bookshelf that moves to reveal Lenora's secret location in the normal type gym, then quit, when you load back in you can read the bookshelf from the top of the stairs even though it's no longer in that position. As far as I know, this only works when you start up your game in that exact spot.

[@Warhawk9012]

7:21 The mistranslation specifically comes from *Japanese Blue,* which functioned as a deluxe version with a completely different set of trades (international Red & Blue feature the same in-game trades as the ones in Red & Green: Raichu for Electrode, Abra for Mr. Mime, common Nido for uncommon Nido, etc.) Basically, the international games used the *script & updates* from JP Blue and the *original trades* from Red & Green but the localizers failed to *double-check* the dialogue of these two NPCs (since JP Blue had a unique set of trades including Machoke for Haunter & Kadabra for Graveler.) In FRLG, their dialogue is an approximate translation of what they originally said in Red & Green, something like *"Has the Jynx/Electrode I traded you grown any stronger?"*

[@RyanNerdyGamer]

Here’s one: If you trade a Kadabra holding an Everstone in most instalments, it’ll _still_ evolve into Alakazam; this may be due to the Uri Geller controversy rather than as an actual oversight (the same reason there were no new Kadabra cards in the TCG for years), but still worth mentioning.

[@MrPenetroso]

And yet, Haunter can't. I'm still bitter from that Medicham trade for a Haunter.

Don't forget poliwhirl evolves via trade with a kings rock held and since kings rock isn't available in gen 1 we can just assume all poliwags and poliwhirl in gen 1 come with a kings rock held naturally

[@mustardwizard]

6:00 its probably a mistake but lore-wise you could think of it as them being different Pokemon of the same species/evo line that they use depending on the opponent's trainer's level

Lmao Giratina straight up jacked Kyogres signiture move xD

[@mike_havens]

The Moon Ball only increasing catch rate for Pokemon that evolve by Burn Heal error is by far my favorite of all of these!😂 Such a weird and dumb programming mistake to make

[@gykx92]

The reason the suction cup glitch was still in brilliant and shining, is because it's 95% the same code as the original games. The only major changes were to the grand underground, telling the game how to move the 3d models, and diagonals. Its why people were able to mod the game so quickly, cause they'd been doing it on the ds version for a decade already

[@deenice1500]

Adding on to the fact at 3:49, there’s a Nintendo power guide for Pokémon gold and silver that also lists megahorn as megaphone when talking about heracross’ moveset

[@Vexal50]

About Suction Cups being bugged in BDSP. It's a very real possibility that they reused DP's code in *some* capacity while being modified to work in the new engine, as some of the bugs found in the original games such as the Sunyshore warp are present in. It's also likely why a couple trainers had moves that were supposed to be deleted, which was fixed in a later patch EDIT: 4:50 uhh, which move is supposed to be the bugged move? You mention two completely different moves here....and isn't Origin Pulse Kyogre exclusive?

[@RyanNerdyGamer]

7:41 My headcanon is that the Poliwhirl you trade him _does_ evolve into Politoed, as it happens to be wearing a King’s Rock.
