Another fact about N's text speed: as you mentioned, his text speed is fast, even if the settings have it set to slow or medium. If you have your settings set to fast, there is a special text speed that is even faster that only N can use

@lpfan4491 Год назад

There is also the opposite mechanic(Unless I misremember) where an NPC related to the ghost-appearance always speaks one setting slower than what is set, which then uses a hidden "Super Slow"-value when one sets it at the lowest normal setting.

I always set the text speed to highest, it was surprising to see the complete text appear almost instantly and simultaneously.

@Crystal-ry4pv They recently changed this, actually. It used to be that Pokémon of a certain type are immune to secondary effects of moves of that type, but now they've changed it to be type specific, such as paralyze no longer affecting electric type Pokémon, be it static shock or body slam.

The met location friendship boost is actually mentioned in-game in Crystal. After you beat Pokéfan Jaime on Route 39, she says, "I met my MEOWTH at night, right here on ROUTE 39.

@jackofaces107 Год назад

I remember seeing an interesting take on the Eevee evolution thing in Yellow. Beating your rival twice makes him evolve it into jolteon so he can finally have some advantage over pikachu since jilteon has volt absorb, countering pikachu. Losing both battles seems to make your rival cocky, so he evolves it into vaporeon to show he thinks he can still beat pikachu despite the disadvantage, losing one and winning one makes your rival take the evolution that has to particular advantage or disadvantage to pikachu. Kinda cool how it may show some kind of slight development of the rival through subtle gameplay

@motodog242 Год назад

But abilities weren’t in the game, so Volt Absorb would make no sense. Jolteon still hold an advantage as the best electric Pokémon in Gen 1 (outside of Zapdos), due to crit being related to speed, and Double Kick and Pin Needle with a resistance to Pikachu’s STAB made it have that advantage. Flareon is an unfortunate Pokémon and probably easier to beat than Vaporeon for Pikachu. Vape at least had a high special to take a hit and deal back; Flareon’s STAB was different than its better atk stat.

@neog8029 11 месяцев назад

Abilities didn't exist in Yellow. But I do like the idea that the rival gets so salty over losing twice to your Pikachu that he goes out of his way to have his own electric type.

One thing I have always wanted added to the games is an ability for only Suicune. It's whole deal is that it purifies water, and purified water doesn't conduct electricity. So its ability would make it neutrally affected by electricity. With all the little details they put in over the years I'm kind of surprised they haven't already done this.

Your take on PokeRus and its initial origin has sparked my interest. It had me thinking with my last Crystal playthrough that if there is more to it. Maybe I'm over-analyzing but I do think it's somewhat peculiar that the virus can be had after reaching Goldenrod. All I'm saying is that, by sea, Goldenrod is really close to Cianwood and Olivine...Olivine has a sick lighthouse Pokemon. Just north of the lighthouse after a very small route, there's a sick Miltank on a farm. Cianwood has a man running a pharmacy with intense medications. Like I said, I could be way off. The two ways the Pokemon are healed with assistance from the player are different; though, the sheer closeness of the a sick Ampharos and Miltank might have some connection or story that has yet to be fleshed out.

@willf1118 Год назад

This is a very good theory but sadly i think it will never be fleshed out,

@DarkNia64 Год назад

To add to the theory: Goldenrod is the largest city in Johto. Was the virus brought over from Kanto by train? Was it developed in a secret lab Underground? So many possible theories...

@squiddog8933 Год назад

Realistically I think the reason you can't get it until Goldenrod is because they don't want new players to get it so early and get confused

@risel56 Год назад

On the topic of ghosts: In RBY, the unidentified Ghosts in Pokemon Tower will have the same color palette as the Pokemon that was meant to appear. Cubone and Marowak have a different color palette than Gastly and Haunter (the difference is subtle in Red & Blue however), and the Ghost spawned through the Missingno. glitch has Missingno.'s colors. Because the sprite palettes for Cubone/Marowak and Gastly/Haunter are updated in Yellow, this effectively means that the Ghost sprite comes in five different colors across all Gen I games.

@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 I would've suggested that over Solar Power if not for the fact that Dry Skin comes with the beneficial effect of being healed in the Rain. It'd be a bit strange if a Pokemon weak to Water moves was able to be healed by Rain.

Literally binged all your obscure facts video's this afternoon and loved every second of it. Subscribed and gonna lurk around for a bit longer

@verylostdoommarauder Год назад

I wouldn't go saying "I wish they still added little details like such and such..." because of both how long it takes for these sorts of things to be found and how much you have to dig to find them for these videos (Which are great, keep up the good work). You really never know when it comes to these things.

@bidoof367 Год назад

i actually knew the eevee evolution thing before but its because i looked into it because i was curious. i think its a neat way to make things easier or harder on the player to have pikachu's electric attacks be resisted, neutral, or super effective on the respective eeveeluton.

@alquanna Год назад

Same, when Gen 1 came out, it felt like the fact about the Rival's Eevolutions to Jolteon/Flareon/Vaporeon was common knowledge - like I remember reading about it in an old walkthrough or something, together with the tip that to get past the first gym (Pewter), you either have to grind a Caterpie up to Butterfree, or catch the lone Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest. But then that was 20+ years ago, so info can be lost to time, I guess

@FlautistKloa Год назад

I love the idea maybe Fairy types being able to find wild pokemon with held items at a higher rate. Kinda like how Fire types and Poison types can't be burned or poisoned respectively, I think dark types should be immune to confusion.

@IgnitedQuils Год назад

Also Bug types should be immune to confusion since they lack an inner ear, so they keep track of what they’re doing.

@rahvithecolorful Год назад

I didn't know it was an actual thing either. But that explains a lot, like how I put Poltergeist in front of my party in the Shield Island just so it could still follow me even when I'm surfing around and suddenly stopped having trouble getting away from Sharpedos.

@Snubbull3000 Год назад

after the diglett encounter stuff you said "I wish they still cared about adding these type of things" - except they do. don't let ur nostalgia get you confused. legends arceus has clefairies dancing on nights of the full moon as a ref to the HGSS dancing event, vaporeon in SV dissolving away as a reference to the pokedex saying it can evaporate, pincurchin hiding under wild Wugtrio's, zoroark/ditto imitating other pokemon in the wild in SV, lycaroc dusk being able to found in the wild when the sky is orange. all the games still have soul, its just gen's 1-4 hit harder cause you were probably 10 and had no clue what was going on.

Adding to the shuckle tidbit, if you keep having it hold the berry juice, it’ll eventually turn into rare candy.

@johnsanko4136 Год назад

That's true. I used to grind with a shuckle in Crystal for just that reason. I guess he didn't stumble on that part of the mechanic.

@getsinged7631 Год назад

Not sure why so many people are upvoting this or why someone agreed with it, because the rare candy thing is just a myth and was never actually true.

@nodokaxnegi4ever Год назад

I didn't know the Shiny costumes were so rare. I had the Pachirusu as a kid, I don't remember how I unlocked it other than just playing a lot, I wish I would've recorded it somehow instead of just showing it off to friends x.x

@dragonstar912 Год назад

I actually did know about Shuckle's mysterious gen 2 ability. It's mentioned in an official Nintendo Player's guide, so I've known about it for a while.

@Broomer52 Год назад

I knew about it too but I remember hearing that if Shuckle continued to hold it the juice would turn into a rare candy. I’m pretty sure it’s untrue but Shuckle would have been way more appreciated if it was a free exp farm

I must say, your intro and the way you put down a promo for this series was very well done. Not too late that I've already clicked away, not obnoxious, not too close to the beginning that I skip it, but rather right after an intriguing intro to a concept that naturally feels like it can't be that deep, especially to a lifelong Pokemon enthusiast like myself. I actually paused what I was doing and said "12 episodes? Okay, I see!"

@anttoz4989 Месяц назад

That last fact about the shiny outfits in the Pokémon stadium game was pretty cool to learn about, it’s been a very very, very long time since one of these list really inform me about something I did not know about before
