New and Forgotten Pokemon X & Y Facts Ft.  

I was visiting France when the game was released and I was excited to see many of the references in person!

They’re just revisiting Lumose city, calm down.

@@c0mpu73rguy Regardless, they're still revisiting Kalos lol.

@@c0mpu73rguy "Calm down" Ain't no one freaking out about anything, guy.

@@JJMomoida I mean don't get your hopes up (or do, it's always funnier seeing people's hopes and dreams crashing down).

​@c0mpu73rguy ooh edgy, let me guess parents don't understand you, or did you stumble across a tiktok on nihilism and thought "huh relatable"

What's chalk?

@@luischeco3009 The Cresselia, Heatran, Amoongus, Landorus-Therian, and Mega Kangaskhan core that dominated the VGC 2015 world championship.

The irony is that Game Freak had several chances in the past few years to nerf Incineroar yet it's still meta-defining.

well,this didn't go well,since X/Y introduced Mega-Kanghaskan and freaking Gale Wings Talonflame before the nerf,so the thing of people winning with the same pokémon still kept happening,since today

@@brainache5862 Over ten years later, Amoonguss is still one of the best pokemon in the game

I'm pretty sure DPP were the first portable 3d pokemon games. And if you meant full 3d: Pokedex 3d and Pokedex 3d Pro. (Not debunking the other arguments because those are a matter of taste and you wouldn't listen anyway)

@@c0mpu73rguy fully 3D mainline, but good points all around

Except for the spinoff "Pokkén Tournament," X and Y arguably still have the best trainer customization in the series.

@@c0mpu73rguy The DS Pokémon games were more like 2.5D. The graphics had uses of 3D, but the overworlds were still based on 2D grids, and all the battle sprites were still in 2D. Meanwhile, all the other points made are true objective additions. Whether or not you like those additions is a separate matter. The only parts that are a matter of taste is whether Mega Evolution is considered to be a fan favorite gimmick, and whether or not you consider Pokémon Amie and Super Training to be functional. (Personally, I think Super Training is lame and unbalanced, while Amie is just stupid. I only bothered with them to try them out and to evolve one of my Eevee into Sylveon.)

Especially a Pokemon one. Didnt peg him as an actual Pokemon fan

? its one of the best pokemon games and megaevolution has been the most reoccurring feature ever Even though I think Gigamax is better but it's much harder to portray Gigamaxxed pokemon outside of sword and shield when they are that big And Greninja is probably the most popular pokemon after charizard and mewtwo, according to polls

@@Terapagos3000 megas is the best mechanic. Period. A ton of stuff got added in Gen 6 that was awesome, but stuff like the story being inexistent, fights not being considerable hard by any means, and the amount of cut content that got removed where some of its major flaws. But compared to Scarlet and Violet, it at least manages to remain a game. And trust me, i’m saying this as one of the biggest fans of Gen 6, since i adored it, but my relationship with Gen 6 is the same that I have for Charizard. A love and hate one, since I adore it but I know that it’s flaws held it back

@@Terapagos3000what about picandchu

@@Terapagos3000 bro said one of the best lmao. it was the beginning of the downfall of pokemon

@@Terapagos3000 It's one of the worst gens and the only reason you would think it isn't is if you grew up with it.

What are you talking about? Tendemouse and charcadet are perfect shinies!

gholdengo was done dirty man

Who changed Duskull from red to brown, I just wanna talk.

The person in charge of Ceruledge shiny had no time left I swear lol

Same, that shit goes unnecessarily hard

Was the best champion theme til Cynthia

It never fails!

Had no business going so hard

​@@mosquitopyjamas9048 What do you mean "til Cynthia?" It's still the best Champion theme.

I'm not even sure if LoZ is worse, honestly

@@M_Alexander It kinda is, if you look through ALL the games, as it deals with alternative timelines as well, not just one.

i feel like they saw the zelda timeline and said "we are not doing that"

@@Dajova it's just, LoZ has three timelines that diverge during OoT. I get that. The adult timeline where Link saved the future, the Child timeline where he returned to his past and prevented the takeover, and the fallen hero timeline which isn't really how timelines work so much as it's something that could have happened. And then by the time of BotW it's been so long that the timelines converge. Pokemon... well ignoring that Gens 1 and 2 were supposed to be an alternate version of the real world, and that every save file is recognized as a new timeline, all of the timelines can connect directly or indirectly and also they've been divided based on the outcome of an ancient war (whether Mega evolution exists in that world) oh and also there's ultra space which connects parallel worlds that may or may not be the same kinds of parallel timelines. Heck in Gen 7 you can use a wormhole to switch between two worlds where events happen at the same time even though day and night are offset between them. There's a Pokémon timeline but all it does is tell you roughly what year the games take place in because the events of one don't necessarily happen in another or at the same time. RBY, RSE, and FRLG are 1996. LGPE is 1997 in the Mega timeline. GSC, DPPt, and HGSS are 1999. I forget exactly when BW (B2W2 is two years later) is but XY might be around the same time in the Mega timeline. SM is 2016 (20 years after Gen 1) and USUM is just a parallel version, both in the Mega timeline. SwSh is presumably whatever year it released, no indication if it's a Mega timeline or not. SV is again probably contemporary but seems to reference the Mega evolution phenomenon. Also there are multiple times machines and time traveling Pokémon and they're not even trying to make it consistent but neither is LoZ

@@M_Alexander Pokemon also have 3 by all accounts. A certain "Patrick" developed this idea in a very interesting video. We have the original timeline of RGBY/GSC, the modern timeline including gens 3, 4 and 5 and the mega timeline including possibly B2W2, gens 6, 7, 8 and 9 and the remakes that came through it which either references megas or straight up have megas (the worst ones).

Can confirm. I've never played Platinum and so I never understood Gen 4 hype until several years later.

Yeah, X & Y are mostly great games. They just suffer in the areas of story and postgame content, things that a theoretical Z version almost certainly would've fixed. Though, At least X/Y don't have the slow gameplay from D/P.

Tbf diamond and pearl still had a more expansive postgame, more beloved characters, more serious/unique villains, were harder games, etc.

@@shanemiller1182 Yeah, and X & Y have much better overall gameplay, a more balanced type chart (including the Fairy addition), 3D graphics, trainer customization, unlimited TM use, Mega Evolutions, and had better online features.

@@Compucles also fair, but depending on who ask 3d graphics might not be a positive thing haha

Very well chosen, and even if I wasn't trans myself. I can see anyone on under umbrella picking it for that exact reason. I mean, I picked mine because it sounded like a soft yet firm name. And to a much lesser extent because of Alice in Wonderland. Even tho everyone thinks that's why🤣

Me too....are they seriously going to set that up but never let us go there or know about it?

"Pokémon Skid Row" I feel aweful because that's the first thing I thought of. 😅

Yeah, they still have better clothing options than Gen 7, Gen 9, Legends Arceus, and arguably Sw/Sh as well. The only Pokémon game I know with better trainer customization is Pokkén Tournament.

When I picked up Pokémon X, it didn't want to work on my 3DS. Needed to get permission from the school to connect it to the internet for the very first time and download system updates. Only then did the game I purchased grant me permission to play it. Had purchased the 3DS before Black and Whites release, because I though that those games would be released for it.

hey nice! I hope u enjoy it~

Was thinking the same thing. I have definitely seen this character in the game bc i had 100s of hours (literally) in Maison. Funny thing is back then I thought nothing of it... certinally didnt consider them "trans"

I remember scouring for leaks and pokedex info for the first time haha, it was a wild time

It was in the XY soundtrack on disc 4. Final Battle! (Rival) [Pokemon Origins Version], the bassline is slightly different in the XY version, but otherwise mostly the same.

The song was used in the PWC 2014 finals

LET’S GO JARVIS!!!!!!!!

That was a surprise I didnt expect

Sir you can't safely fly at thus altitude. Your systems are at 30%

There's also trees that give berries like that too. It's not just rock slide but, I forget the compatible moves that do so.

@@PIKMINROCK1iirc Hurricane and one other move can interact with the trees.

Those are called natural objects. They just more recently resurfaced as a super obscure weird thing in the game.

​@@WilfredCthulu "recently"? Everybody knew about that in the game's launch, thats how you can get the berries.

A surpringly large amount forgot about it or only just learned a bit ago.

She was mentioned in a previous DYKG video but that video said she was in Lumiose City

The Adult Onee san mentioned would have been drinking the The Adult Onee san who said she was a Karate Ouiji with medical science can mean she was injected with anabolic steroids as that is related to medical science. Others may say she would have drank the drinks like the Taurine, Bromhexine, Lysozyme, Chitosan, or Indometacin since stat-boosting can be related to medical science similar to anabolic steroids.

National Parks I suppose

I wonder if this is true or not. I remembered running into her in the castle where you can re battle people over and over to become a noble. I wonder if we’re both wrong and seeing it on the Internet planted the memory, or the same trainers and trainer dialogue is used for the alleyway, the castle, and the battle Maison

Well it’s true they don’t have a special song, they do have a special background used only during top eight of the world championships. It’s where you fight Nemo a, the big stadium with all the types, but with a huge crowd watching and cheering

What do you mean? No seriously, what the fuck do you mean?

From what i can remember from those halcyon days, it was because the game the game was spawning your character out of bounds (copy-pasted coordinades from the other sections of the city?) And you could actually had a chance to recover and save in another place

@@KARLOSPCgame you could only recover it if you patched the game but for a week it caused a massive panic

Not for me since I never updated that game (and I kinda hope that whoever got my cartridge got surprised by it).

@@chimmyinfernape9189 sorry, but i know and saw a guy thay recovered his save before the patch was out

I remember, and it doesn't surprise me that Nintendo tried to sweep it under the rug. Now they don't even bother hiding the poor quality, they know people will buy it regardless 😂

Isn't it 4 rivals?

@@trickjack8329 forgot to consider Serena u right 💀

@@Lucess happy to help. Though I do agree it would've made the story and characters more interesting. I honestly wonder if it would have carried over to the show. That would've been something.

To make a long story short: a l i e n s

@@c0mpu73rguy such a shame that all comes from some 4chan post. It's pretty much impossible to verify that unless we get a good leak again, so we have to assume the XY Aliens stuff was all a hoax

The graph is counting all the different forms as seperate pokemon, which would add an extra 30

@@fricks4486 There's no way you're being serious. Compare the size of the bar between Gen 4 and 3 and then come back here. Tell me what you see.

@@fricks4486 Also, give me a list of these 30 different forms. I'll wait.

@@Randallroks unknown ! and ?: +2 wormadam sandy and trash cloak: +2 Cherrim sunshine form: +1 shellos and gastrodon east sea: +2 rotom appliance forms: +5 girtatina orign: +1 shaymin sky: +1 arceus plate forms: +16 For 30 forms. However I will admit that it probably is just a mistype and that the numbers lining up is just a coincidence. It would be weird for gen 4 to be only one to count forms and for the bars to be wrong

@@fricks4486 Compared to everything else, the Arceus forms are barely anything other than a typing and palette swap. Doesn't even get a special name like Darmanitan Zen Mode. It's still just classed as Arceus.

The original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald is mine, but X/Y is a close second. Although the plot point about using the legendary Poke's power to reset the world fits a lot better for Yveltal, god of destruction, than with creation deer imho, I still love both.

You can also get a photo review that references Pokémon's own "too much water" meme.

IIRC they were mainly dungeons used to recruit the other potential beginner Pokémon onto your team.

If you havent gotten your 3ds hacked yet then I have no idea what your doing

You should hack your 3DS. Now.

@@ertuio20002 Funny, because I have no idea what I'm doing either...

I compare all the Unova references in the Switch games to LEGO referencing BIONICLE; creators acknowledging its existence while knowing they have no plans to return to it in the near future. As for the lack of Kalos things despite being next door, that was hinting through _exclusion_; the Gen 6 legendaries are conspicuously absent from the Gen 9 DLC.

@@sam_sanister: The conspicuous absence of the gen6 legendaries is most likely to keep them as exclusives for Legends Z-A.

which shiny?

That... is a very good question. My only guess is maybe Garchomp was to use Earthquake and KO it instantly so the next Poke out could use a highly boosted Retaliate?

It acted as a redirector for Gyarados. While amoonguss was the main redirection mon of the format thanks to spore, pachi did have some advantages over it. Follow Me can't be ignored by safety goggles for example compared to rage powder, and pachi could still impair Pokemon with nuzzle. Finally it having super fang allowed it to set up easier knock outs for its partners. While amoonguss has continued to be the premiere redirector in VGC, pachi hasn't done much else since its Worlds win so it was really the right place at the right time for it to sneak a win and act as a powerful support Pokemon people weren't expecting to face. Even mega gyarados itself wasn't very popular back in VGC14, so overall it was some powerful sleeper picks piloted by one of the best to ever play the game.

I saw her at launch, but it wasn't talked because it wouldn't matter on those times

Pretty much same. I definitely recall a line about "used to be a Black Belt" but I didn't think anything of it since I was mashing through dialogue, too. I didn't even consider that the Black Belt class was male-exclusive and Beauty was female-exclusive. Really wish I'd been paying more attention lol I know a lot of trans people who would've appreciated the subtle bit of support.
