@domain2genus 5 месяцев назад

So, I just wanna say how much I love Relicanth. Pokémon really took one look at the Coelacanth fish and said "yup, that is a pokémon, no changes needed". The Coelacanth was known to us from fossils for years. We were so confident that it was extinct that the Natural History Museum in London had a coelacanth carved into its walls as an example of extinction. Then one day it turned up in a fish market. Now we know there are 2 species of coelacanths swimming about out there. It's that trope of finding some hidden sanctuary filled with ancient predators, but instead of massive megalodons or T. rex it's just a big ol' fish who's chill. Love this animal, and love this pokémon. It's been a long week, this video made my day, and I got a chance to rant about relicanth's real life counterpart. Thank you MDB. :)

@hyrumkohler 5 месяцев назад

If they every add a platypus, I do hope they just stick it in the game like relicanth. Water/Poison type, give it a buffed Shockwave, make it blue (or teal like Perry), and call it like Platyprick or smn and boom, pokemon

@thomaswinwood 5 месяцев назад

My favourite overlooked Pokemon is Skarmory. It was introduced in Gen 2! Very few people found it until Gen 3, since it was only on the route south of Blackthorn, which you never have to visit since you've just beaten the eighth gym and are probably going to fly back to New Bark Town rather than taking a mountain path.

@suryave 5 месяцев назад

Not to mention Skarmory is version exclusive to Silver as well

@mr.eggsandwich8138 5 месяцев назад

Dude I LOVE skarmory. Maybe one of, if not my favorite flying type.

@stigmaoftherose 5 месяцев назад

Over half the pokemon in Gen 2 are overlooked because of their terrible placement or spawn rates combined with their terrible stats. Aipom is only a 20% chance in a few headbut trees, slugma is in Kanto and only ever 5% besides route 17 during daytime where it gets a nice boost to a whopping 35% encounter rate. Yanma is only a 1% encounter on route 35, misdreavus is only in mount silver at night with a 5, 10, or 30% encounter rate based on the game and room, quillfish is only available with the super rod, again post e4, and a 10% chance. Most people assume these are all gen 3 or 4 pokemon becuase they got new evolutions in gen 4 or were way more common in gen 3 like slugma.

@VynnIS 5 месяцев назад

Because of those reasons, I thought till Gen 8, that skarmory is a Gen 3 Pokemon. I met this bird in ruby the first time. 😄 Especially gold was my very first game as a kid.

@thewerdna 5 месяцев назад

Not only that, but its a version exclusive and there isn't a single trainer with one in the game. Because of this, I for the longest time thought it was a Gen 3 pokemon

@TheDeadGunslinger 5 месяцев назад

In Pokemon Pearl, there is NO trainer with a Lumineon (the blue fish pokemon introduced that gen), there are it's pre-evolved form "Finneon", but no Lumineon. I was attempting to complete the regional dex, and got completely stumped (this was back in the 00s, before the internet was as easy to access as today), but my dad was a truck driver, and I was able to access the internet on one of those old "idle air" computers (look it up) and finally figure out what the missing pokemon in my pokedex was.

@superspen97 5 месяцев назад

Platinum added one optional trainer with it on Victory Road. I don't know if anyone else has one. Such a funny fish.

@Kahadi 5 месяцев назад

I could have sworn that in gen 4, you were able to see every Pokemon just through Trainer battles, letting you at least fill out that part of the Pokedex without trading or anything. And I distinctly remember there being a Lumineon Trainer because that was also my last missing Pokemon from the Pokedex. I don't recall if I was able to look it up at the time or what, but I double checked just now. There is actually a Trainer with a Lumineon in Diamond and Pearl. Route 223, leading from Sunnyshore to the Pokemon League, has Swimmer Miranda. I believe she's actually the first one you come across, but she swims back and forth. Her only Pokemon is a level 43 Lumineon, which becomes level 60 if you rematch her with the Vs Seeker. Obviously would have helped more if you had found her a decade or so ago, and Lumineon is still incredibly forgettable. But if you ever replay gen 4, you can find almost every Pokemon in Trainer battles, except legendaries (though you can still complete the Seen part of the regional Pokedex with a single game).

@pkmntrainermark8881 5 месяцев назад

I'm sure there is. Diamond and Pearl let you encounter every Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex on a trainer before you beat the game. Except Unown and the Legendaries, of course. Unless they somehow overlooked Lumineon...

@DarkEinherjar 5 месяцев назад

Maybe not in the first battle, but in the VS Seeker rematches, I'm pretty sure the Finneon trainers eventually evolve them.

@eshix4089 5 месяцев назад

I believe there is one just above the town with the electric gym, but it's one of those trainers that go back and forth and are super easy to skip, so it's easy to miss it.

It’s always funny when MDB accidentally finds damage rounding thresholds over and over in different runs and doesn’t put it together. You do more damage at levels ending with 0-3-5-8 because of the way damage is calculated using levels.

@CartoonKarma 5 месяцев назад

Unless one watched the anime where James had one, surely Chimecho is the obvious “didn’t know that existed” Pokémon, right? No trainer uses it, a 2% encounter rate in just one area of the game, kinda bad by that point even if you got one… that it’s the last mon in index number suggests it was a last-minute design finalized and added too. The game designers got better at making virtually every new mon get used by someone from Gen 4 onward, so the problem doesn’t repeat as much going forward. That said, Pincurchin is one recent mon I constantly forget exists too.

@tb3411 5 месяцев назад

Gen 3 is the only generation I went into 100% blind and I also didn't know Chimecho existed until way later thanks to Pokémon Pinball.

@Mr-Trox 5 месяцев назад

Not only a 2% encounter rate. A 2% encounter rate in an area you might not even know grass *exists* Seriously, that fog and the way the game handles you going there for the story, you can be forgiven for not going off the trail and looking for stuff.

@baileyBLIGHT 5 месяцев назад

Stories about Pokemon you didn't know existed? I have one! Necrozma. I followed Sun and Moon's announcements obsessively so I don't know how I managed to miss it? But when I was playing, after I'd beaten the game, I went to ten carat hill to find Pokemon for my dex. Imagine having NO idea Necrozma existed and then RANDOMLY running into it while exploring ten carat hill. It genuinely scared the hell out of me LMAO.

@bennyk384 5 месяцев назад

Necrozma is super sick, what a fun surprise :)

@MHTJ0001 5 месяцев назад

This is because there was never an announcement for it. It was just never revealed until the game released and people found it. Heck, I am not sure if it was in the official dex on the pokemon site when the game launched initially (it probably was, I just never looked)

"Is there any game where your rival is more useless than in Emerald?" I can think of two actually. The one in XY (not talking about Shauna, Tierno or Trevor, I'm talking Calem/Serena) and the one in Ruby/Sapphire (just because they're worse than in Emerald)

@theotakuwolf8573 5 месяцев назад

Serena is at least difficult the last time you fight her. But that’s mostly because she jumpscares you near the end of victory road. Though the entire game is kind of easy since they give you free megas

I hunted for Chimecho for a long time in gen 3, across Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, until I had to return Sapphire to my uncle, had Ruby stolen, and had my Emerald save data corrupted with the game time maxed out. I still have never found Chimecho in gen 3...

I knew Relicanth (Probably Rel-ik-anth based on the etymology of Relic and Coelacanth) from a pokemon book of all things.

Relicanth, my baby! Not the best in Gen 3, but in later generations he becomes an actually kinda bonkers physical attacker with great defense. I guess it fits that he's not that great back then - a lot of Hoenn pokemon suffered from the same issue of their stats not co-operating with their typing.

@meta1429 5 месяцев назад

Gen 6, right after getting to Victory Road: Friends when it first came out 11 years ago always told me that Deino was in the game, and Hydreigon was my favorite Dark type prior to Gen 5 since I had one as an ace on my Black Tower team. Unfortunately I wasn’t lucky enough to find one in the wild on any of the adjacent routes I kept searching, and then it happened… After beating Serena, there was a TM to the top right. Something swooped in right from above, and who was it? Well it turned out to be a 4% encounter rate of Hydreigon, and caught him. Sadly I lost my copy of Y 5 years ago, but I’ll always have the memories.

@KevinHosley 5 месяцев назад

I missed Tyrogue when playing Gen 2 as a kid. You have to go deep into Mt. Mortar, an optional area, then beat a trainer and he gives you one. It's such an obscure Pokemon that appears on nobody's teams in Gen 2, either.

@michaelmills8205 5 месяцев назад

You can get a Tyrogue out of the egg from the daycare just outside of goldenrod city. You can get most of the baby pokemon there. But it's still a random chance to get the one you want, so it's still easy to miss.

This was a really good run. You were really owed the Ancientpower luck after how Drifloon's run went, and it seemed like you had a lot of fun with it. Glad you had fun with this one! As for a Pokemon discovery... I played a lot of Ruby when I was younger, and there aren't any trainers in Ruby or Sapphire who have Vibrava. So you could see Trapinch from trainers, and Flygon from Drake, but that middle form was one you had to discover for yourself. So I eventually raised a Trapinch to see what that mystery middle form was... and Vibrava has really grown on me and become one of my favorite Pokemon. Anyway, looking forward to the Shuppet run! That will definitely be interesting!

I seriously did not know Dhelmise existed until after I completed Pokemon Ultra Moon. Like, the whole game. I went through the entire game, even getting the post-game content done, without ever encountering or learning about Dhelmise. Later learned you could find it in a very specific fishing spot in Seafolk Village on Poni Island at a very low encounter rate, even in Ultra Moon, and you have to have the Super Rod. The only way to boost the odds is to wait for bubbles to appear at that exact fishing spot. Remind me how anybody was supposed to figure that out without the internet? Oh, and I forget that Finneon and Lumineon exist every two days, since that line is 1) terrible stat-wise, and 2) horribly under-represented in terms of trainer battles and who uses them.

That gag is worth it. Also, if there was any pokemon that deserved a mega, it would be reli

Oh my god you still make videos! I looked up a metronome only run and saw one of your vids and was like oh I remember watching him years ago I wonder if he still uploads and checked and found this video! I don’t know if you still upload but I think something that would be fun is just using fire water and grass moves the entire time.

Relicanth is actually the first Pokémon I found underwater; I just assumed it was a common encounter, caught it, and went on my way

For the longest time, I thought Slugma and Magcargo were Gen3 Pokemon. Yes, even with Blaine using a Magcargo on his gym team.

Oddly enough, I didn't know burmy was an actual pokemon before I realized I had to see all the pokemon on the sinnoh dex to go through the post game post champion on Pearl. I remember I was just confused as a kid trying to figure out where/how to find a burmy because i missed this one bug catcher in eterna forest lol

I didn't know Relicanth existed until late-game gen 4 and I loved it instantly because the real world animal on which it's based is one of my favs

6:40 Damage rounding thresholds at levels ending in 0 3 5 and 8 really do feel crazy in difference sometimes

This was actually my favorite pokémon from my first gen 3 playthrough. I searched for so long trying to get something besides a clam pearl after I use dive and when I finally found this boy I was like wait I love him, super cool design , at least my 8 yo self thought so

If memory serves, I went through the whole of Diamond without once seeing a Burmy as a ten-or-whatever-year-old, since the only enemy trainers that use one are skippable.

I always missed relicanth playing these games until I got a guidebook. Found out you need it in your party to unlock the regi's

@Omega_1306 5 месяцев назад

I honestly got relicanth on every gen three run by accident surprisingly often because I would always be trying to max out my Pokedex

@calebjoost899 5 месяцев назад

Relicanth was an interesting story for me. I actually caught it on my firat playthrough of sapphire. I didnt realize how rare it was i just thought it was the coolest looking fish they had made for awhile and it reminded me of the coelacanth that had been recently discovered at the time of the game.

For me, the pokemon that took the longest for me to find where Tangela. If memory serves, Tangela can only be found in a patch of grass, south of pallet town in rby.

I remember your WH40K DoW playthroughs and I'm glad to see you're still crushing games! Thanks for the videos!

I used to play Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Emerald religiously, and I didn't ever find out Roselia is unobtainable in Emerald until a few years ago, when I was planning a monotype nuzlocke (Grass)

@seitanile 5 месяцев назад

For me, I found Smeargle only in Emerald, and that was at the end of the game with the Smeargle cave. I never knew it was a Gen 2 Pokémon until I got to Emerald and even then I thought it was Hoenn based

@seanwilliams823 5 месяцев назад

I had no clue Misdrevious was a Gen 2 pokemon. My first game was Crystal. Nobody in the Ghost gym uses one so it is ONLY the Gastly line. I went through Mt. Silver without finding one. It wasn't until I asked my friend to compare Pokedexes to see what I was missing that I learned it existed.

@poochy2479 5 месяцев назад

i remember back in the day i was talking with some friends at school about our favorite new pokemon in gen 3, and for the longest time i thought there was some crazy new poliwag evo i had missed because he kept calling it "policanth" instead of relicanth lol

13:55 It's funny that you mention that Wally has a team of good pokemon right before he brings out delcatty. The rest of his team isn't bad but delcatty has a bst of 380 with no stat above 70 in emerald.

Now gotta do Pokemon Emerald with only Magikarp to pay respects to the Magikarp that's always there for the Mossdeep Gym

Well, you could get to the fossil tower, save the game, change the text box a bunch of times and get the fossil. But I am really happy to know you always go there to get the fossil. It's a nice joke.
