IIRC that old man also maxes out the friendship of the Pokémon you leave with him. I honestly find the whole thing quite wholesome and beautiful.

Scorched Slab got one hell of an upgrade in ORAS: being turned into the location where you catch Heatran.

Perhaps the "front wheelie" was meant to happen as a quick animation if you braked while going at high speed.

Bonus Fact! If, in gen 3, when using Cut to cut grass, the cut user has the Hyper Cutter ability, the area that gets cut with each use will increase.

I didn't think the switch in the Rocket Hideout was a secret, I thought it was just part of the mission. One of the Grunts even tells you they'll keep coming until you press the switch

The Rocket Grunt in Unova is not the one who robbed the house in Cerulean City in Red/Blue. He's the guy who stole the power plant part in Gold/Silver and hid it in the Cerulean Gym.

The most egregious thing about AZ's Floette, imo, is the fact that it's actually on the cover of the ORAS National Pokédex guide! Specifically the one that was published by TPCI themselves. It's the front cover, second row, three mons to the right of the oversized Mega Latias sprite

I used to specifically use the camera statues in the Rocket Hideout to train. Mainly because the wild pokemon levels in gen 2 were wack, but also because of the trainer XP boost. If you leave the hideout and come back, they are all reset.

I actually got all 12 trade Pokemon from Curtis in my first White 2 playthrough. They don't randomly trade you those pokemon though, they will just want to date you once a day on the first call you reach them, and the 12 Pokemon will be traded to you after the date in the specific order listed on bulbapedia. They don't actually call you after you meet them, they will say that they have a busy career (cough cough they are an idol you can see on TV cough cough) and can't call people in their freedom so they ask YOU to call them. You can only call them in 3 random routes in the region for some reason, and the random routes will reset each time you call them so it does take a while to trade all 12 Pokemon with them but not really that tedious like Gen3 Feebas or Gen4 Munchlax.

Scarlet/Violet also hints at the DLC on the outside of Larry's favorite restaurant: there's a poster showing the same stylized masks of Fezandipiti, Okidogi and Mukidori that were shown in the DLC announcement trailer.

Mantyke, buizel, and overquill are the pokemon needed to trigger the encounters with manaphy and phione in PLA! Incredible!

In Uva/Naranja Academy, you can find Sonia's book, "Galar: A History" among the Occulture issues, which I thought was fun, and you can read some of it. It was weird you couldn't in SWSH.

Papasea on xy: And you give this man the pokemon that stays with him until he dies. Papasea 30 seconds later: Truck

A bit surprised that you only mention the Qwilfish in the book alluding to Overqwil but not the fact that the book is also the instructions on how to get Manaphy in Legends Arceus

I am actually confused every time that so many people didn't know you could cut grass with cut. Like, that was one of the things I just ended up trying, cause I didn't want to run into Pokemon on a route. I am even more confused about the fact that you listed the camera controls for the rocket hideout as a secret. One of the Grunts literally tells you about that.

Scarlet/Violet will have at least 1 secret unknown to us until later since it will be a hint to the generation 10 game

It’s not every day I learn something new about Pokémon, but the bike rack thing was new to me.

The cool thing about the joycons in SWSH is that they also match the special Scarlet and Violet controllers

Diamond Dust also exist in HG/SS on Mt. Silver. You don't take hail damage when battling Red!

I did the Curtis sidequest on Black 2! Had to use serebii as a guide because the spots for triggering the calls are super specific for whatever reason. But getting to trade with them isn't too hard once you meet with them in person. If I recall, they automatically show up at the Nimbasa Ferris Wheel once a day after that, and after riding the wheel with them (because they develop a crush on the player through the phone calls), they offer to trade the player a Pokémon that is otherwise unobtainable in the game and the player can offer whatever they want in return. Now unrelated, but I'm hoping someone reading this can confirm that I didn't imagine this (I can't check because my copy of X doesn't work anymore and I can't find any proof of this online and I'm going NUTS): there's a building in Lumiose City where they're shooting a cosmetics commercial with a Mamoswine in the lobby. One of the NPCs explains that it's for the brand Mamoswinelline (a reference to the real-life cosmetics brand of Maybelline). The NPC in question is an actress who is thoroughly impressed with the brand mascot's acting and then she makes a reference to the Maybelline tag, "Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline." Does anyone else remember this? 🥲

6:38 The Pokemon you leave with him will also have maxed out happiness when you get it back.

I knew you could turn off the cameras, but why would you rob yourself of the EXP? EXP is such a commodity in Johto, I can't imagine wanting less of it.

1:32 Icycle Spear is not the only move which was not available until FRLG. There is also the move Follow Me, which required you to transfer a Clefable from FRLG. Interestingly, the move Kinesis was not learned by any Pokémon in Red and Blue, but it was still available. Kadabra learns that move only in Pokémon Yellow.

i remember finding the old man on accident and, not wanting to give up a valuable POKEMON9thought he'd keep them forever) I left a freshly hatched caterpie with him. lo and behold, I get the Caterpie back and read the note. Your pokemon also comes back with a free Comet Shard, iirc. I kept that caterpie and trained it up alongside the shiny I was breeding for, just because. it was a sad but wholesome side mission.

Bro I love your videos but I can’t lie sometimes I just spend like 1-2 minutes at a time getting lost in the pokeball gif background lol, like it puts me in some sort of trance

Fun fact, the og truck seems to have been from a cut town in the center-right of the map. The square path? There was meant to be a cargo area there. My guess is they realized how out of place it would have been, but didn't want to abandon the unique truck sprite, so they hid it as a little Easter Egg. Also, in FRLG, if you trade a Pokemon with Cut (NOT white out! When you return to the pier the ship will instantly set sail!), but before going to the Sevii Islands, you can surf over to the truck, see the updated sprite, and get a Lava Cookie to the south of the truck.

The tentacool is actually available in crystal... I literally got it last week... did nobody know it was in the original gen 2 games?

Another thing about AZ's Floette is that it has a signature move "Light of Ruin', which can't be learned by anything else. This suggests to me that "AZ's Floette" is its own special instance, where most other Pokemon are like "a (Pokémon) owned by (Trainer)"

Worth pointing out Gamefreak likes to hint at the next pokemon game they are working on regularly: Diamond and Pearl opens with the Red Gyrados on the Lake of Rage as well as having Jasmine give you the Waterfall HM, in Anistar City in X and Y you can find a sun dail with four islands on the horizon (a nearby npc mentions the existence of moon dials). This is what I can remember off hand, but I know there is a lot more. Also, near that same truck by the SS Anne in FR/LG, you can find a Lava Cookie.

The book with the oversized spiked qwiulfish is actually the secret that you need to use in order to be able to catch Manphy in the legends arcues game

8:58 not many people know about this one? Well... Perrserker was really, really overused in raids not too long after the release of the game. So, I think almost everyone knew about that one

With the overqwil hint in BDSP, it wasn't simply a hint There's a quest where you can catch Manaphy, and that book is the only clue you get for what the hell to actually do to get manaphy

7:17 fun fact that truck does make a reappearance in gen 3's fire red and leaf green.

In Gen 4, there are also certain days where pokemon spawns are decreased. idk why, but it's cool.

Bonus fact about GS safari zone: its theorized that the exclusion of the safari zone was because the glitches surrounding it became more widely known during GS's development, and instead of taking extra time to fix the issue, they just scrapped it altogether

Yeah, the grass cutting thing was useful if you didn't want to have wild pokemon Encounters. You don't even have to be standing in the grass itself for it to work, but since it only cuts a 1 block radius in every direction around you, it's a lot slower than taking a step or two in, first. Plus, in Gen 3, when they have the really tall grass, it takes two times to actually remove it. First attempt turns it into regular grass.

4:25 I just realized... What if the forbidden lover Aqua and Magma grunts in B2W2 are the two lover grunts in OrAs?

I doubt that AZ's Flowette was just leftover data because it has a specific Pokedex entry in USUM, and was brefly obtainable (if you hacked it) into HOME with a model and everything. It's a choice that TPC/Gamefreak made to not release this Pokemon and it's slighly confusing why they never did. You mentioned the truck in Let's Go but the truck also exists in FRLG. If you can get there with Surf without making the SS Anne leave the truck is still there. There's even a bonus item, a Lava Cookie!

That lady and her Machamp…what a surprising story😢

Pretty sure the rocket grynt in Icirrus is actually the one from the power plant mission in HG/SS

The amount of people who didn't know about the cameras in Gen 2 worry me, the game literally tells you that you can

You said amato iwato and I immediately got war flashbacks of being amato locked in yugioh

I had no idea we could turn off the cameras in gen 2 I grew up playing those games just decided to battle them for the exp

8:20 that book is actually a self fulfilling prophecy also a closed time loop Because the protagonists of PLA are the Lucas and Dawn from bdsp so you read that in the book and at some point you are sent back in time and do what’s told in the book therefore completing the loop and fulfilling a prophecy

Btw Papasea, the scorched slab can sometimes be renamed "Don't catch it." If cheats are detected on your save file. It gets renamed this because missingno. becomes the only encounter there.

A Front Wheel Wheelie Is Called A Stoppie.

There are a lot more secrets in Alola, but I get the need to condense the content for a video. Before reaching the cave for the first trial there is a house, apparently it is Guzma's house which he left and his parents will tell you they miss him and don't know where he is. Another secret is that in one of the Ultra Wormholes you enter a world similar to the one you came from except that it is now destroyed and abandoned due to Guzzlord. There are obviously more but as a bonus, during the post-game (Episode Rainbow Rocket) you fight against Maxie and Archie from the different ORAS games. After defeating them they will both tell you about how they wonder if "someone" like you had stopped them they might not have destroyed the world with their plans. Okay, maybe it isn't so much a secret as it is a detail I hardly hear anyone talk about from the games.

Dude it was MORE THAN A TRUCK. Why would they put an unused asset in a spot we didnt have normal means to access? That truck wasnt used ANYWHERE in the entire game. A time before the internet, we were wild with claims and those spread through states without internet. It was a crazy time

7:37 shows the Pokeball plus CHARGING STAND, not the Pokeball plus itself 😅🤣

That bike rack one i never knew, wow. Also forgot Diamond and Pearl came out on my birthday, good game to share a birthday with!

The reverse wheelie thing was called a Stoppie in Vice City. My guess is that it was a braking animation on the Mach Bike to add realism to how a bike would be ridden if you were going breakneck and stopped immediately.

I got all the Yancy trades in black 2 and funnily enough those aren’t even the most tedious Pokémon to get in the game. The secret grotto Pokémon are much harder….

3:55 I'm pretty sure it's more implied that that guy is from GSC/HGSS and is the one who stole the power plant's machine part considering the way he talks and how he montions he went back to Unova, his home region after team rocket "bye-bye a go-go" which probably means disbanded which the guy from the Johto games actually doesn't know until the player tells him

While I am not 100% sure, I believe that the Switch in your home in Scarlet and Violet also matches the one you play on, just like it was in SwSh.

when you mention the book in the library related to hisuian qwilfish evolution, it'd be relevant to mention that book and what it says IS the only clue to how to solve a sidequest in legends arceus in order to obtain manaphy in that game, since the pokemon listed there are needed to complete that sidequest, it's not just a foreshadow it's an entire solution to a sidequest for legends arceus

3:22 we will never know which person he was talking about...

Also about the Croagunk statue from Sinnoh we get it's "origin story" in Legend Arceus, there is a side quest that the nurse asks for a Croagunk to use It's poison to make some medicine or something like that. And then after a guy gets better by using it, he says about making a statue or something as a homage for the Croagunk species that helped him. Oh and not only AZ Floette had unique design and stats, it also had an unique attack called Light of Ruin.

No Hiker in Mt Chimney and looking at the window in the ferry in Gen 3? Binoculars showing Articuno and a text regarding about Snorlax in Gen 1?

The Canalave Library book in BDSP is actually the intended way to figure out how to do the Sea’s Legends mission in Legends Arceus, outside of using the Internet. PLA gives absolutely no hints at what to do for it and intends for players to have played BDSP and make the connection. The book says exactly what you’re supposed to: have a Buizel, Mantyke, and Overqwil in your party, go to Cobalt Coastlands in the evening and swim through the two spikes sticking out of the water, and the go to Seaside Hollow and find Manaphy and Phione.

The front wheelie animation might not have been actually doing a wheelie, but rather jumping over a crevice on the Mach Bike.

its dumb and probably well known but if you cut a tree in the first few generations then you save where the tree was and reload you'll be standing over the tree... i thought i was so clever when i discovered this as a kid

The front wheelie was probably to animate a hard stop.

The Crogunk statue in Hop's home was theorized to be an antique that was passed down by Laventon, who is supposedly their ancestor. See, there was this side quest in Legends Arceus that asks you to catch a Crogunk for medicine use, and after doing that, the man who got cured by the medicine will show up chopping some trees saying he wants to make statues of Crogunks to worship them. It is possible Lavento went back to Galar in his older days and brought a Crogunk statue as a souvenier over there.

In Scarlet and Violet there is also the art in Nemona's house that looks kinda like an Ahs Greninja, although I don't know if it's really a secret

Man... what if the front-wheel sprite was actually a scrapped landing animation from an unused idea where you jump off of ramps and terrain puzzles with the mach bike? That'd be so sick. It's a bummer pokemon hasn't truly yet incorporated BMX into its map design 😂

I've actually gone out of my way to trade galar meowth in SV because I don't know how many people would do the classes and such, and Perrserker is a really good support 'mon in raids as it gets Taunt and Helping Hand, plus the hidden ability(which you can access thanks to Ability Patches existing now) boosts steel type moves

The Yancy/Curtis fact is incorrect. They first call you when you stand on specific tiles. After you find enough tiles to trigger these calls, they then meat with you and take the Xtranciever back. From this point on it's up to YOU to call THEM. They can only be called on a specific set of routes at random and you have to call them 50 times to unlock the trades. The trades can only be done once per day.

While OR/AS didn't add TOO much to the Scorched Slab, it does contain 2 extra floors and you can find Heatran there in the post-game.

Scarlet and Violet also has the Controller "secret"

A front wheelie is called a stoppie as that is the only way to really initiate the trick.

0:48 I honestly thought that was common knowledge when I played Pokemon Crystal, but I didn't use the switch so I can beat up team rocket members to level up my pokemons

I've always thought that using cut to cut grass was common knowledge

Had to check the Joycon thing in Sword and Shield. Since I have the special edition of Tears of the Kingdom Switch. While it doesn't have the intricate design, it does have it's base colour, which is gold.

In RYB, the Lass Trainer after Rock Tunnel mentions Munna. “I wish there was a pink Pokémon with a floral pattern”

I grew up in Portugal and the Frog statues were to keep Gypsies out, I wonder if the Kroaker statue is the same ;O

Here is a wierd fact about AZ’s floette! In ORAS in sootopolis city when you stand in the middle of town under that GIGANTIC tree when you look to the right in the big flower patch you can sea AZ’s floette’s flower

In all my years of playing pokemon I did not know you could turn the cameras off in Rocket HQ. Though for the truck they did give a nod to the rumors by placing a lava cooki there in Fire Red and Leaf Green which is an item thats supposed to be exclusive to hoenn

What if those bike sprites were for going down those little cliff things on a bike

Doing a wheelie on the front wheel is called a stoppie

I wonder how big Kitakami will be… 🤔

A few weeks ago I accidentally cut grass, it blew my mind I’ve been playing these games for over years and never caught that

4:23 I’m pretty sure that that’s the rocket grunt who hid the power plant part in the Cerulean Gym.

There was so much planned for gen 2 with gold and silver, but time constrains/limits meant a lot of things got cut including cinnebar island, the safari zone, among other things

Front end wheelie would've probably been when jumping off a ledge while riding the bike. Just sayin'.

The bike wheelie could be explained that there was some instance where the player would be stopped by someone or something and has to break abruptly.

I NEVER knew about turning off the cameras that’s wild. Good video!

1:33 The weird part is that they remade the sprites in Pokemon Emerald with the new green character outfits

I am pretty sure that croagun statue in diamond/pearl was a reference to explorers of sky as he was a shopkeeper

You forgot about the ash Greninja Easter egg in nemona's house in Cabo poco

You probably already knew this, but the books added to the Canalave Library in bdsp, actually gives you the info you need to solve a puzzle in Legends Arceus. It's more than a lore drop, it's more than just a hint to the next Pokemon game at the time, it tells you the setup you need to recreate to solve a puzzle in PLA. And, if I remember right, that puzzle is mandatory for story progression in PLA. Though my memory has gotten worse over the years, and my mind is known to forge false memories at times, so take anything I say about things I "remember" with a grain of salt

6:30 If you go to the pier-like area to the right of this house, you will find an escape rope. It is implied that the old man hung himself.

That strange souvenir is also in B2W2. I found one in a diving spot once.

6:30 also the Pokémon you let him take care of will have maximum friendship once you get it back, so the old man took really good care of it

Lol for the hidden truck, it would have been cool if the devs embraced the missingno glitch and made it an actual event, but made it level 100

I miss the Acro bike. I miss doing wheelies and bunny hops. Our pokemon bike doesn't hold up to the actual Acro bike.

The book in canalave library is doing more than just hinting towards overqwil, it's saying what the conditions are to unlock the manaphy in that mission in Legends Arceus. EDIT: the following is untrue- "It's pretty neat when you realise that it's the special mission you only unlock if you have BDSP save data on the user profile on the switch"

FYI a wheelie with the front of a bike is often called a stoppie

It's called a Stoppie 1:50

In Scarlet and Violet the starting screen changes. When I started there was a ball on the desk that wasn’t there later.
