Out of Bounds Secrets | Pokémon Black - Boundary Break 

😅😅😅

First

Awesome video

I took advantage of Sponsor Block skipping the whole segment.

honestly thats a really cool sponsor

ole Conroy

Omg chuggaconroy! Great to see you. I’ve been watching you way back when you started uploading Luigi’s mansion, super Mario sunshine and pikmin. You’re literally my inspiration

Hi chuga :)

^^

We need to see the beginning of BW2 where Bianca presents the starter Pokémon to you, because a 3D model of her is used there

Yeah the problem with the switch to 3d is that a lot of the pokemon became desaturated and more lifeless, they're slowly fixing that though

​@@mr.punisher5100It only took an entire decade for them to start....

Though they were pretty much cardboard cutouts.

dude has the best jojo as their pfp. huge respect

@@Tripp-y9b That was kind of the point. It encouraged you to use your imagination for battles like most RPGs do.

From my making GB games I would say that's simply sprite/actor swapping. Here it seems you can overlay multiple actors to get whatever bits in front you need?

​@@Roadent1241100% agree it a actor/layer swap to show the turn

😊 😊

Pasage?

It only took 14 minutes. Amazing.

SaltyDKDan fans just show up out of nowhere.

you can see they were thinking of how to make x&y

God I love the chungus the limited 3D chungus they used in this chungus its so chungus

If you could only see the frown on my face when I read this comment

If you've seen gameplay of any of the Paper Mario games, that one uses that technique too.

The amount of effort they put into the Pokémon REALLY contrasts with the work they put into the -3DS- I mean Nintendo Switch models.

please come back to pokemon black! I'm so interested in what they did in the game ever since I started playing this game!

would you say that this limited 3d is charming?

Man, I definitely suggest you look into a game called SIGNALIS. Not only is it a really well made throwback to ps1 Survival Horror games, but there is a VERY simple mod that allows for switching between the top down isometric view to a 3rd person camera, & let me tell you, there are DOZENS of things you can only see with the camera mod. For example, there is a room that has an oxygen chamber where, when you examine it, your character says "There is someone inside. It's difficult to look at her." but in normal gameplay, you can't see anything inside it at all. It's the angle. BUT, when you switch to the modded 3rd person camera, I swear I am not making this up, the creator actually completely modeled a burnt woman who is breathing laboriously & obviously in pain. Again, this is only visible when using the camera mod not available in the base game. It's absolutely BURSTING with cool shit when you switch between cameras.

​@@4pixels_Yes.

Gba does the same thing.

@@brogamin179 gba (pokemon) is fully 2d. You're right if you're thinking of gen 4 though

Nah, the games suck ass.

@@olivercharles2930who hurt you bro 💀

It could be 3 frames or so..! If 5fps it's not too demanding probably..!

Must feel nice being wrong.

2.5D

@@heromedley Isn't 2.5D sidescrolling games in a 3D environment (like Sonic Superstars for example) ?

@@ThibautMahringer Kinda, from what I understand. It's more about the camera being locked in place like in 2D, but enviroment being 3D. F.e. original The Sims apparently is a 2.5D game (despite that the only 3D stuff in it are Sims, rest is images). Probably gen 4 is also a 2.5D. Gen 5 is weird, because some stuff is definietly 2.5D, but others are 3D with 2D sprites (like bridges or main part of Castelia City). I think Heroes of Might and Magic 4 also is one, but I'm not sure, they used a weird technique where they took a screenshot of a 3D model for each frame, then animated stuff using those. So basically game lacks 3D models in the files, but it theoretically uses them, but they're just flat images of 3D stuff (it's weird, and I don't think I ever encountered that in a different game, but it's definietly a decent space saving technique). Outside of than that I can't recall examples of other 2.5D games that aren't platformers.

@@dozzy9984 There's no official definition of what it truly is. But to me, 2.5D define a character that only move left or right, but in a 3D environment, even with camera effects. All my examples are from Sonic, but if you look at games like Sonic Unleashed, Generations and Colors, the 2D parts can have camera effects to emphasize the action / speed, yet Sonic is still moving from left to right, to me it's still 2.5D, even with the camera shifts (though the camera shifts are scripted). I'm not saying your interpretation is wrong though, it also makes sense. Though, 3D models turned into sprites was also used in the Donkey Country games on SNES amongst others, and they are very much 2D games as everything is sprites, there's no 3D anywhere in those games. Anyway, I agree, 2.5D is inherently tied to platformers, you could also say that fighting games are 2.5D, at least with my interpretation but that pretty much ends there.

This is an advert for you people to play octopath traveller

It didn't sell all that poorly; around 15 million copies while other new generations around this time sold around 16-18 million. But they were unfairly hated for both being "too similar" with "not enough changes", while others said it felt "too different" with many not wanting to read the plot details.

@@Dad_Shoes black and white and black and white 2 some of the best pokemon games

@@colinlohden9359 I agree, but many didn't think this until recently.

​@@Dad_Shoesthis is actually so true. I remember a few years back i interacted with the online pokemon community for the first time and got clowned on for liking Gen 5. Now basically everyone came around and says they're (some of) the best and that they love them. I wonder how exactly they all changed their minds so quickly, honestly

@BlueSodaPop_ You wanna talk about being made fun of, Garbodor is unironically one of my favorite Pokémon of all time. I don't care that people think it's "just a living pile of trash", it's just as valid as any other Pokémon. People say Gen 5 Pokémon were "running out of ideas", I say they've always been out of ideas. A seal literally just named Seel. A psychic duck named Psyduck. Gen 1 was no more creative than Gen 5.

games had TIME. TIME IN DEVELOPMENT. Adequate hardware! Limitations to the cartridges!

@@JeskidoYT Time is a big one. Gamers have come to expect new Triple A titles with more content than ever before and better graphics than ever before for a similar price to what many of us paid as kids. Even with modern advances in development tools a lot of those things require more time than before while development teams often have less time in part because if they don't release the next game they'll run out of funds because they aren't charging that much. This is a big part of the reason why we see so much DLC content that cost way more than it's really worth, they have to keep money flowing in so they can develop actual content (hopefully, some studios really do put out the same stuff year after year). Of course many publishers are also publicly traded companies which means they are legally required to do everything in their power to make their share holders more money year over year (which is responsible for a lot of the enshitification we see in the broader tech industry, companies reach a point where the only way to make more money is to screw over their customers). Another unfortunate truth is that there are enough whales (people who spend ridiculous amounts of money of things like cosmetics) that crappy free to play games (admittedly some are surprisingly good) are both more profitable and more sustainable than core games. One of the reasons I own a Switch is because as much as I sometimes hate giving Nintendo my money (due to their anti-consumer practices) they are one of the few still pushing core games with excellent single player experiences and occasionally great couch co-op experiences.

Me too! And during different times and seasons too!

Would it move and pan relative to the environment or relative to the camera? The Pokemon don't stay in place in the spotlights during the pan out, so I think it's more likely the effects would look the same regardless of where the camera is in the environment or at least that they would fill roughly the same amount of the screen.

@@BonaparteBardithion oh, that’s a good idea! i was thinking maybe the battle arena was that big so effects like that could fill a space with more depth or something, but that makes sense :))

THAT WAS PLANNED ALL ALONG AND YOU CAN’T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

I like how it evokes a lot of PS1 and Saturn era games, where it is a 2D-3D hybrid aesthetic. Most notably, the first two Vandal Hearts and Suikoden games.

Yes, the limited 3D is so charming
