12 Obscure Errors/mistakes in Pokemon Games 

No

Bro getting a bag. Gotta respect it

I didn't know this game is still running around. I used to play this all the time.

music too loud

I play dragon city for some reason. It sucks. Don't play it. I don't know why I like it. I barely do. It's awful. I guess I just love trash. Don't get it tho. Either way good on u for getting that sponsor man

the battle maison has a sign outside it that functions normally and that's pretty close by on the same path so I don't think that's the reason

I highly doubt that it would lead to lag xD

@@Tekape Yeah, as a programmer, such a thing would probably be no different in performance than any other animation, including the bike riding animation.

It's just your character averting his eyes from the, ah... breeding grounds.

I mean... just cause people would think it'd be a good area to hatch eggs doesn't mean the developers would remove it. Eggs don't usually have "an area" to grind them out easily, so they'd have no reason to remove this. Even if that was the case, why not have the game be consistent? Just a sign for no reason to not work like the rest feels more accidentally flawed than intenionally.

The move name in Japanese is メガホーン "Megahoun"; Japanese doesn't have an "f" sound and substitutes "h" for it (and vice versa for the syllable "fu"). "Megahorn" and "Megaphone" would therefore be rendered exactly the same in Japanese. The Stadium 2 translators probably made a goof. In the Spaceworld '97 leak of G/S, Heracross didn't exist yet but the メガホーン move did, and was described in-game as "a sound-based attack," suggesting it was originally supposed to be "Megaphone" anyhow.

What if Heracross but LOUD

@@actupial damn that's some specific and cool trivia

I knew I wasn't going crazy. I remember that.

@@actupial Japanese doesn’t have an “f” sound? Then what about words like the place names “Fuji” and “Fukushima?” The IPA phonetic pronunciations depict them as being pronounced with an “f” sound, not an “h!”

I didnt even know this was feature - you can randomly hear Pokemon cries when walking about in Emerald?

@@randomname285 Yep! Starting in Emerald and going on until at least Gen 5, if you stand still (you can move and have it happen but you will hear it better with less ambient sound) long enough on any area that has encounters, you can periodically hear a random cry from on of that area's spawns.

@@SnoFitzroy It occurs in Gen 7 too. Go to Vast Poni Canyon and you'll hear a ton of Lycanroc and Carbink

That sounds like they did it as a nod to "Pokemon Swarms" which would make sense since if you were in a real Pokemon Swarm you'd be hearing their cries quite a bit.

@@grunkleg.3110 also gen 4!

Interesting

It's honestly a really clever rendering trick. No need to make a sphere when a 2D fuzzy circle looks exactly the same!

@@biggrayalien4791 Yeah, for sure!

It's most likely the case as both the flowers always facing the same way relative to the camera and the squared shadows were changed for XD: Gale of Darkness. Iirc, Chuggaaconroy, during his Colosseum Let's Play, explained it away as it being an error in the process that was taken in reusing/upgrading models from Stadium 2.

I love posts like these.

I was coming to say the same thing, so I'm glad to know I'm not alone. I remember laughing at it every time and showing every friend around me when I was playing

That's what I was thinking too.

That's what I was going to write aswell, good job bro

I figured it this was the case, but you explained it better than I could've

That doesn't explain why the body, which definitely _was_ a 3D model, _also_ had a square shadow.

You could call them perfect IVs

Actually DVs are IVs. Also, a Pokémon can only be shiny if and only if both of the following conditions are met Its Defense, Speed, and Special IVs are all 10. Its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, or 15. Due to HP IV being calculated from the other IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV can only be 0 (if the Attack IV is even) or 8 (if the Attack IV is odd). Since 0 and 1 are not possible Attack IVs for a Shiny Pokémon, female Pokémon of species with a seven male to one female ratio can never be Shiny in Generation II. Which means no Shiny Female Starters, Eevee, Fossils, Snorlax or Togetic. Also, the Red Gyarados always has an Attack IV of 14 and a HP IV of 0.

This was in one of the previous videos.

Is that a bug?

@@daydodog no

Lol

Blue’s Raticate 2.0

So that's why my Latios has good speed IVs...

Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!

@@FreightmareFTW blessed robot?

a related detail, if you do have the eon ticket you can use it in emerald but not directly, mixing records will allow a scanned ticked to be shared a limited number of times which lets you set it up in emerald despite the e-reader code being gutted

@@SporianSummit Not a robot, just have a copy/paste so I can bulk evangelize but more importantly call back unrepentant believers and redpill them on history that the churches aren't teaching anymore

It’ll take them a mawhile to fix it.

Dude I swear I thought I was crazy thinking Mawile had an H in the name for all these years. This explains everything to me considering I never really used one but just used it as pokedex filler during my ruby runs

That explains why I thought they changed the spelling

Well Phin says the odds are higher, but the numbers he shows are lower odds. I thinks that's an error in the video.

iirc similar thing happens with youngster joey, but in reverse where he will still refer to his raticate as a rattata

The Marill can was a Japanese translation error, if I remember correctly.

@@SJrad That's right! Although that's more forgiving because it can be attributed to force of habit. Ethan's thing turned his Marill into a Digimon.

I think this was covered in a previous video

@@SJrad probably doesn't want to hurt you with his top percentage rattata he probably caught a Raticate somewhere.

I kinda wish they didn’t condense the ribbons. It’s badass to have an entire page of ribbons

@@wolfetteplays8894 That's only for the Gen 3 and 4 Contest and Tower ribbons, otherwise it would be a bit much.

In the rival battle on the S.S.Anne, your rival's Raticate is at a lower level than it evolves at, meaning your rival replaced his Ratatta with a wild Raticate.

And lance and hau have a hacked Mon too (hau has a noivern not at the evolution level while Lance used a level 50 Dragonite in the rocket base)

That is because a lot of trainers have the last moves that his pokemon can learn from level up.

@@ashmander3465 Also Aerodactyl with Rock Slide in gen 1

​@@jacobcain9008 Another fun Gen 1 rival fact: if he picks a starter other than Charmander, the rival will use Growlithe. For a couple of the fights he has Roar, a move that does nothing in Gen 1 trainer battles. Growlithe then gets rid of it in the battle before the Elite 4, then re-learns it after being evolved into Arcanine for the Champion Battle. Because if there's a move you could hack onto your Pokémon, it would be the one that does absolutely nothing. Of course, this is because they just use the level up moveset for trainer battles, and Pokémon evolved with stones just have their starting movesets to go at, but it's still really dumb.

No way! I caught 30 Ditto in White 2, and my 30th was a shiny!

Maybe since the pattern of spinda is decided by the same values that make it shiny, the same concept that applies on unknowns applies to spinda

"rubi" lmao

@@SnoFitzroy oops sorry, I'm spanish and that's how it's spelled here, I mixed them lol

maybe it's because of RNG manipulation, if you both saved and reset around the same area, both of your carts had a drained battery, and started encountering spinda at the same time since bootup, you have a chance of hitting the same RNG roll for the shiny spinda.

I mean it's just a giant blue stag beetle it's not that special...

Heracross is awesome!

@@cosmicXtropics exactly

@@HollowKnightFanGD I love that big bug and his big dopey face!!

Same, my fav pokemon

I guess Barry wasn't satisfied with Heracross's ability so he used an Ability Capsule to switch its ability to Swarm then. Since both Guts and Swarm are normal abilities, you can switch them back and forth with the Capsules easily. Not so fun fact: For example, if you want to switch Heracross's ability to its hidden ability Moxie, you would need an Ability Patch, a new item that got released in Gen 8's DLC. But for some reason if you switched a Pokemon's ability to its hidden ability with the Patches you cannot switch them back anymore. They are stucked in their hidden ability forever now.

Since both Drednaw have entirely different genders, Abilities, and only one has the Gigantamax Factor, the implication does seem to be that she owns two Drednaw: a male with Swift Swim (its hidden ability, to work with Max Geyser's Rain) she keeps on hand at the Gym and a female with Shell Armor for tournaments. She actually uses the male Drednaw from the Gym Battle in the post-game max raid Battle, but Bulbapedia says it has Shell Armor rather than Swift Swim, which, if true, would be a genuine error. We've fallen down a rabbit hole here lol

Unless Nessa has three Drednaw, which means she's either excessive or really indecisive regarding what set she wants to use.

@@gc1823 I mean, she's a water type gym leader in Galar, I think having three Drednaw with different sets is pretty reasonable actually :P

I got the impression that the gym trainers use different, weaker teams as part of the gym challenge, and then they use their real teams for that tournament at the end of things.

Nice Profile Picture 😁

also works with with Volt Tackle in emerald. Had that happen with a pichu i was training and it scared the hell out of me

@@tannerjolly3839 didn't knew that one. Neat

Happened once while I was playing Fire red. How low are the chances of it happening?

Ironically, those letters were I and V. Only I and V IVs could be Shiny. They were Shiny IVs.

The Cute Charm glitch is literally common knowledge, it's just no one cares

@@SnoFitzroy my only question is if that shinys are "legal" or not, i mean some people think using RNG to get shiny is cheating even if the game just works as intended, i dont know if this is the same case with gen IV cute charm glitch

@@EvidLekan Any Pokémon is technically "legal" if is one that can legitimately exist. Whether it *feels* like a real shiny or not is up to you personally.

@@SnoFitzroy I'm not familiar with it. So clearly, not everyone knows about it. Don't be so miserable to people.

I did the glitch a couple months ago and so far have 250 unique shiny pokemon in Soul Silver. It very much exists and there are tutorials on it where you can do it in anywhere from 25 minutes - a few hours (depending on how consistent you can time button clicks). Im_a_blissey did a tutorial on it. I highly recommend doing it if you want to replay any of the gen 4 games! I've had a blast replaying Soul Silver with this glitch :)

Oh my god I forgot to credit you, I’m adding it in the description!!

@@BlueBoyPhin nah no worries! I got a chuckle when seeing it! I was like "hey I got a shiny unown Y too!" And then I saw the Staryu and was like "MOM GET THE CAMERA IM FAMOUS!" 😂😂

@@BottleRocket11 nice Profile Picture

@@kristopherwillis8075 hey thanks!

@@BottleRocket11 congrats

Its messed up in gen 2 in a similar way, but far more simplified. Only 2 Unown can be shiny in gen 2 because, like in gen 3, the thing that determines if its shiny is the same thing that determines the letter you get. The difference is that in gen 3, if its shiny depends on your Trainer ID, thus why 4 random ones will have different odds, but in gen 2 its the DVs (same thing as IVs in later gens, just handled differently). Since the shiny odds of gen 2 don't care about your Trainer ID, just the DVs of the Pokemon, and the DVs also determine which Unown it is, that means only 2 Unown can be shiny. I and V, which is a funny coincidence.

@@Kahadi additionally you can exploit this fact with only unlocking specific sets of unowns by doing the right puzzles to get as high as 1/3200 odds of encountering shiny Unown V and 1/7040 odds of shiny Unown I

What Pokemon did you have out?

@@rjante2236 No, I happen to open the save and I did have the bright powder lol, I'm just an idiot

I always get so nervous when I post a new video, I hover over the publish button for 15 mins at least. But every time i see comments like these it makes me feel so much better, thank you!

Does Dobbs ripoff Blueboy?

@@luckypikachu4892 I member Blueboy posted on the comunity tab about a month ago, how a super obscure fact he discovered was posted by dobs, alomg with the rest of the video content. He deleted the post a few days later, and I don't really remember what video it was that got plagarized, but I still remember the original post.

I don't think Weezing can even learn Overheat, what in the world?

@@rjante2236 i know. Sounds unbelievable. Thats why i gave up on that battle streak fuck that
