50 INSANE Cut Pokémon Features That Would Have Changed EVERYTHING 

I always wondered why Eevee didn’t evolve into Espeon and Umbreon through the Sun and Moon stones, respectively

The move combining thing makes a lot of sense when you consider that the third gen anime involved lots of move combinations in contests. Heck, there’s also the Thunder Armor.

"there was a possibility of being able to buy pokemon... Only remnant of it is the pokemon you can buy with coins in the game corner" Magikarp salesman: am I a joke to you?

I remember playing B&W2 and being absolutely CONVINCED that my data from B&W would connect and I’d have to battle “Hilda” and my original team after going through the elite four. I also remember how disappointed I was when I discovered that was definitely not the case 😭

“Mirage monsters” gives a new meaning to that Pokémon special with mewtwo called the mastermind of mirage Pokémon

This brings new light to the fact that a consistent trend with the games is "Getting better" means "Making it more like the anime." ... turns out it's been backwards the whole time, the reason the anime has so many extra features the games say nothing about is that the anime is using cut content.

I’m VERY curious as to why Umbreon would have evolved with the POISON stone. Was Umbreon originally meant to be a Poison-type Eeveelution?

Combining moves would've been cool for double battles.. sort of like the combo moves in chrono trigger

The one thing I found out that still shakes me up is that in Japan Green is actually named blue and blue is named green. The reason it's red and blue for the trainers in the US is because we got red and blue versions while Japan got red and green

13:10 Technically, the featute does actually exist in the Pledge moves. They boost in power in doubles if two different types are used together, and you can get side effects from said moves being used together, Like Water and Grassy Pledge making a Swampy Land(?) for the opposing pokemon, slowing them down to a quarter of their speed, even in generation 8. Tailwind doesn’t even manage to negate the speed drop, which in itself says it all.

I think the rainbow thing might just be testing textures for different games like red yellow blue and asian green

They should've let us battle Peonia...I always felt like there was no point to her character, you literally could've done everything without her even being in the game at all. Like instead of her getting mad at her dad after you do all the adventures she gets mad at you thinking like a child and being like "You're trying to steal my dad!" or something and battles you in response. Which would show a more childish side to her but also showed that she did want to spend time with her dad just at her own pace.

I wish the Travel Trunk was added even if the concept is a bit awkward changing clothes out in the open. They did add it in Let’s go but still

This is interesting. I would've liked to have seen the travel trunk to change clothes anywhere anytime. It would also be interesting to have a travel sized healing station similar to a backpack so you can heal your Pokémon anytime

7:52, we can also see some remnants of this in pokemon adventures, gold uses a skateboard(later turned to scooter) to get around, much like how red used his bike to get around in pokemon adventures

Even before the badges and belts of Red and Green, the player would actually upgrade his whip after defeating each gym leader, which is what allowed them to command increasingly stronger pokemon.

altering cave actually was fully implemented and is still entirely functional, but the triggers meant to activate it were never used, e reader cards and/or event distributions would have been the way but were ultimately never actually used

Always love seeing a new video on cut content

We could see some of these features revived in Scarlet and Violet in Pokémon Like the Battle against the professor did in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Maybe the combined move feature could become Scarlet and Violet’s big battle mechanic.

The reason Peonia has a battle animation is because she can be one of the randomized NPC characters that battles with you in Max Raid battles.... not because there was supposed to be a battle with her...

4:34 they probably changed this, because it would be too similar to Megami Tensei/Shin Megami Tensei demon recruiting mechanic

I really wish gen 3 kept the random double battles. Would help the grind so much

12:50 you can definitely tell this was planned since in the starting animation for the games you can see Pokemon combining their moves

Trainer ranking system would have been amazing in my opinion. We got "kind of" the same thing in PLA, but having a ranking system in a base game would have been amazing nonetheless. Hopefully they bring it in the future. Rank requirements for gym badges. You get ranked up by battling trainers. That way even if you spammed cheats for rare candies you would HAVE to battle trainers in order to build up your rank. I could get down with that 100%.

Pretty sure the combining move feature was why the anime got the infamous Thunder Armor sequence when Ash faced Liza & Tate! Thunder Armor was probably a combined move and the anime staff knew about it before it was cut from the games. It's not unlike how the Kalos anime got to use 100% Zygarde... and I'm going to go on a limb and say that Battle Bond Greninja was a cut feature of Pokémon Z where all three starters would have gotten a Battle Bond form and I hope we see those sketched out someday.

sure it’s sad that they weren’t in black and white 2 but who knows them missing could be an excuse to plop them into a legends game

When you realize that Iris had to beat Hilda/Hilbert to become the true Unova Champion as seen in Black and White 2

Only the devil knows why someone wanted a "Tickle stick" and "proof of adulthood"!!!

Nice! Would be cool to see a video like this about the side games too

Including Kanto in Gen 2 might be the best thing any game franchise has ever done.

I thought Rain Dance and Sunny Day DID double the power of Water and Fire-type moves, at least until Gen 4...

Just picture it, had the whip gimmick actually gone through I don't think the series would have lasted too long, very controversial choice and I can only imagine the lawsuits for depiction of animal cruelty (which they've tried before funny enough) all I know is I would go near Rhyperior with a whip :x

The belt system sounds like it might have been inspired by karate and judo, which use different colors of belts to show rank.

I remember before gold and silver came out, reading about different rumors and one was the skateboard! I was so excited back then about it.. only to see it wasn't there. All this time I thought I might have misunderstood the leak! You totally just confirmed it for me after 23 years! Lol

I would have loved the idea of Pokémon fusion in the games it would shed some light on the possibilities Pokémon and people possess in the Pokémon world. That and it would be nice seeing it in the games rather than just the Pokémon reburst Manga.

That bit about the whips was so enlightening! Thank you for that! I've always wondered why they had those.

i feel like the combining moves thing just became the pledge moves at some point

Peonia: practically has no pokemon Peonia as she loses: Oh no, it's *already* over :(

I'm sure someone else has pointed this out.. But regarding the part where you cannot buy pokemon ingame.. Magikarp. Sure you can only buy one but I feel like it counts

Whoa, cool video man. Just wanted to say, uour remixes are great and I hope you make more 😀.

Cutting the Battle Frontier was a bad move on GameFreaks part there was a lot to do.

8:00 and the Pokemon Adventures Manga portrays Gold as a character that uses a skateboard

Imagine checking your black belt in key items and it saying "this belt is only held by trainers that can kill any pokemon with their bare hands"

Thanks for making a video with actual obscure facts. I feel like other content creators circulate generally known information.

You know what would be cool, I would love to have Pokémon adventure manga as an anime series but it’s meant for the older audience, although we had Pokémon origins witch red in the dub version was the voice of Erin Yeager from attack on titan plus silver the hedgehog and many more. But it would be nice just to have the kanto series.

13:35 actually, we know why the idea got scratched It's because of pokemon XD and pokemon Colosseum. They decided to change the event for 2 entire games :)

I’ve been playing through my old Pokémon games these days ( heartgold atm) and let me tell you, we got to play some god damn good Pokémon games growing up. I didn’t appreciate the quality then, but I sure do now.

Oh heck yeah more cut content from Hoops! Love to see it!

The thing with the persuasion is most probably taken from the Megami Tensei series where you can use dialog to capture demons!

If you gameshark in an azure flute it just works and you can do the sinjoh ruins event too

Those combo moves would really have been interesting. I remember seeing it once in the anime and everyone made fun of it but it really would make sense if it was in the game too (I'm looking at you, electric armor)

Did you know that the Arceus event in HGSS is the only way to get Giratina origin form in those games?

I can’t be the only one who is confused about why the kanto gym leaders appeared in the cut save lookin screen from galar?

For gen 1 a couple misconceptions I want to clear up a little bit. I think the Inn is just for a world building purposes because it was a copy and pasted pokemon center. Then repurposed. If it were a remnant then it wouldn't have had the pc in the corner because it would have preceded pokemon centers. Professor Oak does seem to be the original last boss based on his dialogue. Main part I want to clear up though is tied to the unused encounter. Pokemon Yellow was supposed to be based on the anime. Which means the encounter probably would have been tied to running away from the Spearow with Pikachu like what happens in the anime. They probably scrapped it because it was too much work to go into that much detail so they toned down the anime references. I don't think you ever would have caught a pikachu because in the anime ash was just given the pikachu like all other starters. Great video though. =3

Missing the alternative Floette. The one that belonged to AZ. There is code in the games for that variant. She has her unique stats and signature move.

The idea of a charisma stats for the player is pretty cool. Like they could take inspiration from the Social Stats in the Persona franchise, where the stats of the player affect the wild Pokémon, like increase the chance of catching, increase the shiny rate, the item rate,... Yeah it may overlap with some items/abilities, but this makes the game much more immersive and make the character is also progress according to the state of the game, just the other RPGs.

You forgot a few. Like that mysterious "Ground Rose Up Somewhere" message from Gen 1 and the fact that Ecrutek City was gonna have the Pharmacy,not Cianwood. Good vid,though.

There is a lot of flirting with the idea of human Pokemon fusions. But I honestly hope that never happens. The manga that did that was horrendous

I think the combining moves data was used in Gen five for the pledge moves but now it’s only going to be a mechanic for those moves

The cut Travel Trunk from Gen 6 kinda made its way back into the games in Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee and I think that's neat

The Japanese screenshots and clips are helping me learn vocabulary as well as learn cut Pokemon features :)

I can't confirm this because I do not own the new BD/SP remakes but, if you have a completed Legends Arceus save on your switch and load up BD/SP, there's supposed to be the Arceus event that you mentioned earlier, where the trainer can battle and catch the Creation Pokemon.

Maybe we will see some of these like the cut combined move feature in the new S and V games

Wait. Human Pokemon fusion? That’s biomerging from Digimon Tamers!

Pokémon combo moves sounds so cool 🤩

The cut Pokemon that's shown,I would really love to see the cut content come back

I can see why they got rid of the belt idea in the original games since there wasn't color yet

Tickle stick, proof of adulthood, and ice bikini. That's one hell of a sketchy group of terms right there.

I was thinking about this, in the show, a pokemon can't be captured by somebody if it is already registered to somebody. So the pokemon is registered to it's pokeball which is Registered to the trainer. In the games, if you miss the pokemon you lose the pokeball. What if the Lost Pokeball was still registered to the trainer and a wild pokemon happen to find it? You would think the pokeball would have GPS tracking.

15:58 can you imagine actually holding on to that lock capsule, buying the next game, transferring the capsule, and all you got for your patience and mystery solving skills was a TM for Snarl 😂 I'm glad it was cut from the games

I think it would have been cool to bring the world Cup from gen 5 to gen 8. Imagine an animation similar to the beginning of sword/ shield, where the gym leaders walk out on to the field however in this version they are met with gym leaders from other regions walking towards them from the other side.

I wish they would have kept the "cell phone" from Gold&Silver where you could get the phone number of defeated trainers and they would call you up and challenge you to rematches.

linking moves has been a feature in every pokemon mystery dungeon game since red and blue rescue team

Well this video about cute content from pokemon was pretty dope,and I like it

Me and another universe: *spends hours furiously polishing belts*

Gen 1 was to include a surfboard for surfing on water instead of the TM move Surf. (Not sure if someone already mentioned it in the comments)

Loooool i instantly thought about 50 uses of the move "cut"

I didn't know the Azure Flute event was Cut? I played it using a Action Replay.

What's that document he's looking at at 3:30? Just curious because in one of the columns it says that Wartortle evolves into Pokemon index number 181 which isn't Blastoise

Some of these cut content would actually be really great for a Pokémon anniversary trilogy.

7:45 - It's such a shame they cut the skateboarding feature, this would've been so cool ...

Given how pokemon like Jinx used to look I'm stunned they even had the fighting with a whip idea in the first place.

Coming here from yonder in the future where we have Scarlet and Violet now, I’m very curious what the cutting room floor will procure as cut content in these games now that it’s out. Because it certainly seems like quite a few functions were implied in the game’s mechanics but ultimately cut due to lack of time (decorating dorm rooms a la the secret base system, more clothes than just your school uniform, actual store fronts rather than pop up menus with actual icons for the items in all the shops rather than just some. The list goes on).

Move combination was eventually added with the moves water pledge, fire pledge, and water pledge. It’s unfortunate that they are exclusive to the final evolutions of the starters.

I could see group move combos possibly coming in the future when they run out of ideas. It would be a really cool mechanic!

Loved this ❤

For the first one, those are unfortunately likely glitch effects. The badges were originally going to be items and their names are leftover in the final games, but to my knowledge only these two have their functions remaining. I strongly believe these weren't their intended functions as not only can they do that while outside of battle (causing understandable graphical corruption), but why would a badge do that in the first place? And if they did, why wouldn't it be the Boulder Badge that lets you throw rocks? There are still interesting items though, most notably a (apparently pocket-sized) Lapras that allows you to use Surf without a badge, though sadly the name is dummied out in the final release and it appears as ?????.

Can you link suggested videos, like the fusion one, in the description please? I cant find it on your channel

I knew about both the professor battle and the azure event before this video still cool facts though

@HoopsandHipHop 1:07 Gym Badges were never used to be usable items. The exist, because of a pseudo item menu for the badge man in Cerulean City. Pseudo item menus are also used for elevators, thats also the reason why some glitch items like have names like 3F (third floor). The Badge “items” are not unused, they are just pseudo items and trigger the rock or bait effect from the safari game when used in battle, because the pseudo items are also reused for such stuff. This is a clever way to save memory.

i think the vs Oak battle is actualy pretty known 🤔 but i was agreeably surprise to see that i didn't know a lot of those 😊

12:55 wait like the anime!!! I wish this became a thing in game

bruh i thought 50 facts about the move cut but still great vid

Combine Moves exists in pokemon as the elemental pledge moves, fire pledge, water pledge and grass pledge. You should've mentioned that.

I remember doing the hgss event with arceus as a kid, I don’t think it was just the azure flute arceus, unless I’m totally wrong

Nice Features but what I miss the most is the Option to change the throw animation.

i wanna see a game of only cut content in yellow and crystal i think it would be cool

Go was initially announced for sun and moon when first released per direct.

The title made me think "clickbait again, ugh", but the video did cover so much new stuff, gj.

Move combining and gender-specific sprites for all pokemon species are the features i want the most. I like the idea of "mirage pokemon" rather than "legendary" (there're too many legendaries, changed my mind). Battling pokemon by yourself is kind of neat too ; except i don't see a 10 y/o defeat a flying flamethrower, nor a seismic kaijuu, let alone a mouse-taser. . . Even with a whip
