Gen 2 crystal and Pokémon fire red and Pokémon emerald and platinum are my fav of all time. Pokémon black a bit behind but I never finished it. Also fav spin off is Pokémon mystery dungeon explorers of time and then the red rescue team. Also the original Pokémon ranger
Exactly! Getting to see what happened in Kanto after you beat it on Gen 1 provides a nice little story. Little things such as Cerulean Cave being sealed off so the strong pokemon there don't wreck Cerulean City, the Karate Master not being in the dojo because he realized he had to get stronger after you beat him in Gen 1, the effect big business has on a small town when you discover that Lavender Town's Pokemon Tower was bought and converted into a broadcasting station. It's actually really cool!
The thing about the twins turning into Sudowoodo happens because there's a limit to how many sprites can be loaded into memory at once. When you go over the limit, whatever you were trying to add will instead appear as one of the sprites that's already loaded, often the player. That particular section of the map is one where the developers wanted to use more sprites than they could fit, so normally, after you battle Sudowoodo, his sprite is replaced in memory by the twin sprite.
Came down here to comment just this. Gen 2 has a neat system where they can have these sort of "variable sprites" that change out after certain events occur or other criteria are met. It's handy for things like Rival battles or other one-time events so that the unique sprite used for that NPC can show for that one-time event without taking up space in the normal set of sprites for that area. For anyone curious, this system is also why the gate areas exist between towns and routes in only some areas; the game needs a transition like the one that occurs when going through a door or using Fly in order to load in a new sprite set.
You can get Ho-Oh in silver with sacred ash too. Not just gold. There is a guy in Pewter City in Kanto that has a rainbow wing that allows you to go to the burnt tower and catch Ho-Oh at level 70. The opposite is true with gold. The same dude in Kanto gives you the silver wing which let's you catch Lugia at the whirlpool caves at level 70.
Exactly. However in Crystal you initially get neither the Silver nor the Rainbow Wing at the Radio Tower. Instead, you get the Clear Bell. Later you get the Silver Wing at Pewter City and the Rainbow Wing (from Eusine) at Celadon City after you catch all 3 Legendary Beasts. So I guess Crystal is the one with the +1 item over Gold and Silver
What they don't get is their signature moves depending on the version. If someone plays Pokémon Gold, Lugia won't have Aeroblast, and if someone plays Pokémon Silver, Ho-oh won't have Sacred Fire. In Pokémon Crystal, neither has access to their signature moves.
A fun thing I noticed in GS: In the Burned Tower there is a Firebreather who says he "burned down to hot ashes" upon defeat. When the map loads back up, his sprite is now black and white until you enter another battle. I actually got a little spooked the first time I noticed it.
Yep, Firebreather Dick. As far as I know he's the only NPC to have an overworld sprite change like that. At least without the aid of glitches or exploits.
It may have something to do with the legendary beasts one floor below. They are grey before you wake them up and the fire breather may be on the same field as one of them, possibly causing a color switch.
I thought it was a glitch or it could be exploited to force do a random event, so I turned off the game trying to keep the battle for later (without saving the game) loosing more than a hour of gameplay later finding out only it was a mere sprite colour change with nothing else at all
I always felt like the Route 16 Snorlax was the one the game "intended" you to catch in gen 1 while the other is a sidequest. I like the theory that it becomes Red's Snorlax while the other just crosses Route 11 over the course of 2 years haha
One memory I hope to never forget is the pure childhood joy of completing the Elite Four in Johto only to then be able to go to Kanto! I wish they would remake this for Switch!
The only thing with the player palette swap glitch is that if you teleport somewhere, the glitch ends. So it usually ends after Kurt teleports you to his house after the slowpoke well story
Him saying gold kabutops is just a slightly modified version of the "gen 1" sprite is killing me Not only are there literally 3 sprits for kabutops depending on which gen 1 game you play, but the gen 2 sprites are all complete redraws that just have a somewhat similar pose
Additional Fact about the Lake of Rage Gyarados (and shiny pokemon in Gen 2) if it's a Pokemon from Gen 1 you can teach it Mimic, use the Time Capsule feature to send it to a copy of Red Blue Yellow, encounter a Ditto and make that Ditto Shiny. By using Mimic you'll copy Ditto's Transform, when the Ditto uses Transform a second time it'll copy your pokemon's DV values (now known as IVs) which determine a pokemon's shininess in gens 1 & 2. Now you have a shiny ditto for 1/64 shiny odds via breeding
It’s worth noting that each of the panel sliding puzzle rooms in Ruins of Alph boast a hidden room in their rear. One is accessed by using an Escape Rope, another by using a Water Stone, and the final one by simply interacting with its entrance while having a Ho-Oh in your party. Items in these ones are less interesting than the Moon Stone in the room described though.
Yeah uh, dude should have done the bare minimum research on these things before making the video. Those rooms are usually discussed online as a set. Much like the Spell Tag house being labeled as empty, and the woman inside saying she senses ghosts? The obvious conclusion is that the people inside are ghosts themselves and don't realize it.
As a kid, Pokemon was life. And Gen 2 had SO MUCH hype. Waiting for these games and waiting to see the new gen Pokemon is a great memory. And it lived up to every bit of hype.
Yeah I remember seeing the first movie in the cinema and seeing 2nd gen Pokemon for the first time. Then waiting to see them in gold and silver when released
Ah yes, the goldenrod egg. I remember spending hours as a kid saving and hatching until I got a tyrogue or an elekid. After I figured out it was guaranteed to be a random baby, I'd refuse to progress past that point without one or the other every playthrough
@@majelalover8837 Catchable but quite difficult to get your hands on, at least for that time it was out. Not easy catching the legendary beasts who can flee, use roar if you tried mean look, and are still strong.
I remember finding the Beserk Gene. I thought I was looking for an entrance to Cerulean Cave and thinking that's why the detector was going off. I was let down tbh lol
I’ll make an odd argument that everyone will hate: the best gen to have experienced was gen I because EVERYTHING was new. You had no idea how Pokémon would evolve and everything was a surprise, unspoiled by the Internet. But gameplay wise, I think gen III and black and white II are killer
Gen 3 had infamously famous sprites between Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald, so Gold/Silver and Crystal definitely are NOT the only games with sprite differences.
That’s not the same thing: gen 3 changed the sprites between Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald, while gen 2 changed sprites between Gold and Silver, with Crystal borrowing from both of them, changing some of them and animating them.
I'm pretty sure Sacred Ash is held by Ho-Oh in Silver version as well as I never owned Gold version but I remember having access to the item after catching the level 70 Ho Oh in the post game
Yeah, I pretty sure it does. At least in Crystal, but that requires a bit of extra work as you have to catch all three of the legendary beasts before getting to Ho-Oh so I could see people missing it. In Silver you just had to talk to that random NPC in Pewter and he'd give you the Rainbow Wing (Silver Wing in G/C).
Also, according to the description shown in the video, it's a bit more than just 5 Max potions (It's actually 6. Another thing he got wrong.) And 5 Revives. It's also 6 Max Elixirs, which I should add, cannot be purchased, so there's only so many you can get throughout the game. So Sacred Ash isn't as redundant an Item as he tried to make it sound. Interestingly though, I tried looking it up to be sure, and the descriptions are all over the place. Some websites claim it restores PP only in Gen 2, others simply claim it revives and restores HP, others imply it restores PP in all gens, so I'm not sure...
4:35 there is also an easier method: once you have surf you can also just surf to kanto and grab the moonstone in the cave there, you dont need waterfall for it, only surf.
@@stormyaudio9969 i know for sure that its this way in crystal, i dont really play gold and silver so i cant tell you. dont remember the remakes either, look it up on the wiki.
If you go to Mt. Silver early in the game by using walk through walls cheats, you'll see that Red is nowhere to be found, this is due to the fact that he will only be summoned if The Player Defeats Lance.
The color swap worked for me as a kid up until Azalea Town. After I beat the Rockets in Slowpoke Well the color went back to normal when it sent me back to Kurt. Was cool while it lasted tho 😀
@@trueredpanda1538 Not really, since it would corrupt many other parts of the game, what you are doing for the color swap is basically combining the Data of 2 save states, its always done at the beginning since nothing really happens in the beginning.
@@trueredpanda1538 in theory it could work I guess, but it's one of those risk vs reward situations... Do you want to risk turning off the gameboy slightly late and overwriting your data? 😅
@@RenSako “Garbage” is subjective, and I would argue a lot of the things in here aren’t “common knowledge” considering I’m someone who’s been a Pokémon fan since the early 2000’s and didn’t know a lot of these. Also, please point out one “straight up lie”…I’ll wait.
I knew about the berserk gene, and when I played Detective Pikachu and saw they used it as a plot device I squealed knowing how many people would assume it was made up for thst game.
So you're telling me, that Celebi was *ALREADY* IN THE GAME but they actively CHOSE to deny giving it to people?!?!? Was this some kind of fucked up payback for Red and Blue getting less butt-ugly sprites in Gen 1 or something?!?
I would argue that the cut dialogue for the burnt tower is a bit of a stretch to relate it to spell of the unown especially since a girl doesn't go missing, her dad does, and the girl is very much confirmed to be in her home by all of the characters in the film.
@@toumabyakuya he's human. He doesn't know about the grayed out ghost girl Left out of the game but in the code, she was supposed to be at the graveyard along with that text. So it's not a movie reference.
You can also farm stones from npc calling you, that they have something for you. For example, the bulbsaur trainer near the daycare gives leaf stones. And there’s even a exploit too get them to consistently to call you.
Yeah, that's a nice trick. You just save the numbers of the stone trainers and then go to your mum and change the time. You can do this as often as you want as long as it wouldn't have changed the day. The time change can trigger phone calls.
I think this was only added in Crystal, though. In Gold & Silver, this doesn't happen, so you have to wait until the Kanto section of the game to get most of the evolution stones
@@Checkers1993ify It's possible to get the evolution stones through mystery gift but yeah I imagine that was feedback from how many pokemon were blocked off until Kanto and how limited the player could have of certain elemental types in Gold and Silver.
The Lass west of Ecruteak gives Thunder Stones and there's a Schoolboy east of National Park (near the Sudowoodo) that gives you Fire Stones. Those are the two I knew of.
@@SuperLucky7 water stone is the fisher at the exit of mt. mortar and leaf stone is the grass trainer south of the daycare. Moon stones you have to get by using rock smash on the meteorite clefairys are dancing around every monday in mt.moon during the night
The scaling and diversity for gen 2 gets a lot of criticism but i completely agree with you for me Crystal is the best one, but at times ill cheat and go for FireRed which in its own right does a good job to pay tribute to that memory that started it all.
The story is the weakest though, there is really nothing major going on, it's just rocket again and they hardly do anything, there are no stakes at all.
I did the pallet swap glitch when I was a kid lol I got spooked realizing I did something to the save and made a new one. Awesome seeing it being highlighted years later 😃
The reason why talking to the twins from the side turns them into a Lapras sprite is because in order to determine the sprite of the girl turned to the side, they use an off-set on her sprite sheet to find it, but because it loaded in the wrong sprite sheet the offset pointed to a different sprite
Gens 1 and 2. The older games. You could get all 3 starters, without trading. Just start the game, and save right away. Then go through, get your first starter. Catch another pokemon. Get to the p.c. Put your starter, then switch to another box. When it saves, turn off your Gameboy. If done correctly, you should see the other 2, starters in your box, when you did all that, again. Just restart your game, you should be in your house still. Just follow those steps, and you should have all 3 starters.
I did this on Silver and it worked a treat. Tried it on Crystal and deleted everything in my boxes other than a god damned Chikorita I'd just tried to cheat into the game.
The timing is a bit different in Crystal, but still quite easy to pull off. You can use the same glitch in Crystal where there is a fat dude standing in front of the game corner house every wednesday and saturday and teaches your Pokemon flamethrower, thunder bolt or ice beam for 4000 coins.
While I knew alot of these I actually didn't know some of them. Amazing considering I've played the gen 2 games countless times since they were still new. Good video. Thumbs up
I always thought finding the Berserk Gene in Gen 2 meant that Mewtwo ended up being killed when the cave collapsed with it still inside In other words you'd be using the remains of a dead Pokemon to get stronger
Well, if it's just genetic material, there's no reason for him to need to die. Or it to even be blood or gore. Perhaps Mewtwo can pass on his genes like fish breeding, but onto any Pokemon. Yes, it's his semen.
What no one says about the colour swap glitch is that it resets whenever your player gets warped anywhere. Their default colour will always be restored in those instances, as early as Kurt and the Slowpoke Well.
That’s wild. I got Togepi and just assumed that’s the egg you would get. Once I got hold a few months later, I still got togepi which just confirmed that belief.
You get two eggs in the game: first the one from the scientist in violet city which is a togepi and only a togepi. Then when you get to the day care before goldenrod the old man will give you another egg. This one is the random baby with increased shiny odds. The togepi is mandatory to progress the story. The other egg isn't, and can be missed if you don't ever talk to the old man at the day care
I’ve seen so many Pokémon fact vids on YT. Usually they never teach me something new, but your vid surely did! Very interesting facts, hope you’ll release more of these vids!
The twins being Sudowudo sprites that also turn into Lapras is likely due to the sprites used in that area not updating. Since there is a limited amount of memory for each route/town, they likely have the Sudowudo event swap which sprite sheet is in memory after removing the sprite from that spot.
It’s funny that you mentioned the Berserk Gene. I have a particular history with that item. I play Draft League on Pokémon Showdown. I’m in a big league that’s gained some notoriety in the community and have played against some very good players. One of these individuals realized a loophole one season that the format we play in allows items that aren’t in the current game’s code. As such, Berserk Gene was fair game due to an oversight. This man drafted Misty Terrain Dracovish with Sand. He’d give it a Berserk Gene and just like that, he’d have a Dracovish at +2 Attack and +2 Speed spamming Fishous Rend with no real great options to counter it. Eventually he did lose in the playoffs that season but it goes down as one of the most iconic team seasons in league history because of that. And yes we did ban Berserk Gene after that season.
I know im a year late but on 7:23 the clefairy dancing around a rock refrences to a movie where they danced around a rock thinking it gave mystical powers but ended up being a moon stone and they were drawn to it since they use it to evolve. I really liked that movie as a kid and really want to see that in game
Let's not forget the clone glitch. Go to a pokemon center and deposit a pokemon and then switch files. Upon the 3rd dot of saving, turn the system off and back on. You will have the pokemon in the box and another still in your party then save again. Made a whole team of dragonites this way.
I remember my friend convincing me to try it and it didn't work. Lost whatever Pokémon I tried it with and switched my character into a girl somehow lol
2:25 In Japanese Pokemon Crystal, if you try to enter that Pokecomm Center in Goldenrod without having saved your game (meaning, no prior save file, either; no battery save can exist for this glitch), the game will crash. It's the very same glitch that made Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal notorious for crashing when using this PokeComm Center, but the bug actually originated from the original japanese crystal that vietnamese crystal is based on: the original let's players, DeliciousCinnamon, did not save their game, and only relied on save states, which caused them to experience this bug during their playthrough of what was essentially a poorly translated japanese Pokemon Crystal. It's one of the few bugs in Vietnamese Crystal that wasn't the ROM hacker's fault. The more you know.
I think you are right about the reason for the references to the third movie being cut. I mean of course it was Unknown. I mean the Entai in the movie was just an illusion created by Unknown, so that makes perfect sense that as you said, “the reason it was cut is Unknown.”
I wish they still did the different art for each version of the same gen.. the more small things that make them actually different, the better imo.. it’s disappointing that they stopped doing that.
0:50 Your reincarnating into Youngster Joe 4:00 I know why it was cut. It sounded like a ingame Event and confused little Kids like me, who wondered what to do here. 7:10 I remember that sign, I kinda feared there where Ghosts. And for some Reason I expected the Cleafairy in the Moonstone Event to be the Shop keepers at Mt. Moon, who are pretending to be Humans. Thats why you cant enter the Shop at Night. Weird of me, right?
There are 4 item rooms in Gold, Silver, Crystal, Heartgold and Soulsilver. The first can be accessed first visit to Violet City, and requires using an Escape rope. The second is the Flash room you talked about. 3 and 4 are only accessible via Union cave, and requires surf and Strength. One room requires a Ho-oh in the first slot of your party to open, the other requires a Waterstone in your backpack.
Gen 2 is my fave and I've watched a crazy amount of videos about it. Somehow this video had information that I didn't know about 😍 Time to enjoy my favourite games again and see some new stuff for myself!
@My Homes Black Fox you need two games, two Gameboys, and link cable. When you're trading from one game to another you wait until the pokemon is halfway across, then shut offthe Gameboy or pull out the link cable that you're trading it from. The person on the other end gets the pokemon, and when you turn back on the Gameboy you're trading from, the pokemon will still be there, thus creating a clone. My friends and I cloned my lv 100 Vaporeon twice. One shotted everything in the Elite Four. And when trying to catch Mewtwo, just needed to use water gun to put him in the red to catch him easier with Ultra Balls.
I found that dancing Clefairy one just buy playing without looking it up and thought I was tripping. The weekly timed events were cool and missed a fee as a kid Also learned recently you can get both lugia and ho-oh in each game and not just lugia in silver and ho-oh on gold
I recently replayed Gen 2, it's my yearly routine, and it was still a blast with Crystal JP version. Which is still the only version you can get all pokemon without any particular help or a second version of the game. Cant stop doing it each time. Btw, for the certificate you dont need Celebi, but need everyone else
NPCs having incorrect sprites is actually a pretty common sight if you abuse a Walk Through Walls code a lot in Gen 2. I specifically remember a lot of NPCs using *my* (the player) sprite, albeit using their original palette.
red and green had different pokemon sprites. it wasn't until rse that the first two games in a new generation had the same sprites. Yellow also had new sprites too, so until crystal, the only reused sprites were between red and blue, and with crystal's updated animations, RSE was the first game to use a unified spriteset across the entire cast of pokemon for both new games and the updated third game.
Yeah that line about the Burned Tower is highly likely not a reference to the 3rd movie. First of all that doesn't mimic the plot of the movie. She doesn't go missing or even leave home. Second the games were completed long before that movie came out. It is a well known fact that the games were essentially done by the time Pokemon: The Movie 2000 came out in July 1999 which is why they added Lugia to the games beforehand. Gold and Silver were released in November 1999. Whereas The Spell of the Unown was released in July 2000.
HOLY SHIT YOU'RE BACK! I remember on your original channel you said doing RU-vid didn't make ya happy. Still glad to see you doing RU-vid, especially about pokemon. Kind of miss your zombies stuff but I don't play cod zombies anymore, and I've been playing.. literally anything else, so yeah! Glad to see you're making a video about my what is imo the best generation.
I don't get the whole lacking teams in gen 2 thing, when I could find it to be just as big of a problem in Gen 3. Not to mention Crystal version lets you get stones before post game, it's only if you play Gold/Silver that it happens! Which I never do because Crystal is just better for what it adds.
@@TheSmithPlays Doesn't discredit that fact though. You can speed it up by talking to he Mom, but I DO agree there should've just been stones purchased from get go. I would still rather have some diversity than none.
i remember the creepy grayed out creepy ghost girl (which people found with walkthrough walls) that i've seen theorized so many times to have a creepy death plot, which is supported by that cut out dialogue about a girl going missing in the burned tower. at least for me, the mystery was put to rest when you brought up that being something from the pokemon movie, which i didnt watch or know about lol edit: apparently according to biff, smith is just wrong again and the ghost girl mystery has nothing to do with the movie

@@smithplayspokemon glad you liked, and thanks for the mini plug! A local friend of mine told me I'd been spotted in the wild again. Great video man, keep it up 😁
The original release of Pokemon Gen 1 in japan had different sprites for the Pokemon. It was originally Green and Red but when brought over to the US they made it Blue and used only the sprites from Red. If you ever looked up the wonky looking listing of Gen 1 sprites they're the ones from Green.
When you talk in your RU-vidr accent, some of the words you say get EXTREMELY quiet and vocal-fry-esque, almost to the point that the word is inaudible, and I have the video volume at 100%. Consider talking like an average person during your videos so you can be heard. For instance at 2:00. The word "single" is nearly inaudible. Also the words "being the box art" at 2:05. Those are just a couple examples. You actually do it quite often. Also, you say the word "actually" so often that it completely loses its meaning, so it just makes you sound repetitive. You also give HUGE emphasis on the last word of most of your sentences. You go from being nearly inaudible to blowing out my speakers from one word to the next. For instance, at 8:00, the words "blue revolves around" are difficult to hear, but when you say "SNORLAX" you're practically screaming it.
The sheer amount of detail and polish put into Pokémon Gen 2 is so insane. Especially when you compare to any other RPG or game on the system. I feel like Zelda oracle series are the only ones that come close to just how big and feature rich Pokémon GSC are.
I learnt from watching full item randomizers of crystal that the rival will appear in whirl islands spinning around because of certain conditions not made. I have a feeling the developers had to overwrite certain parts of memory and re-write those parts back with code. (I could be totally wrong)
