The BIGGEST Secrets of Every Pokémon Generation 

They should honestly find a way to make unknown a stronger pokemon. Like "if you have them all, then they combine to form a legendary" or something. They are just too mysterious to be so weak

In my opinion, the best mystery of gen 5 is the abyssal ruins, their supposed connection to the war 3000 years ago and the identity of the King who ruled over it.

You know the one mystery that I would like answered? Mewtwo's mega stones were created well into the past. but Mewtwo was created at most 20 years ago. Not only that there's two of them. which gives me even more questions. my belief is those mega stones were originally for Mew. Edit:Thanks for the 100+ likes

Maybe the Unown being used by the thousand to create the Pokemon universe alongside Arceus is actually a metaphor for the programming code that makes up the video game world of Pokemon as we know it...

the most reasonable reason why Wally 'didn't age' is because he was always sick, and maybe one of the sicknesses he had was a sickness that makes him look like a child even when he's not anymore.

Agatha is Blue's grandmother... just a thought.

And we still don’t know what the original Unova dragon looks like

Taken from Bulbapedia: "When the Devon Corporation came to the Embedded Tower in hopes of capturing Rayquaza so that the Pokémon Association could study it, Aster fought alongside Rayquaza in order to stop them. Though the battle went unseen, Rayquaza was successfully captured and taken away along with several Key Stones that Aster had collected. When Zinnia arrived at the tower, she found the area in flames and that Aster had died during the battle. Traumatized by Aster's death, Zinnia began to cry so much that her voice eventually gave out. She also took a partially burnt cloak belonging to Aster as a memento." Also some info about the Aster flower: "With their wildflower beauty and lush texture, asters have long been considered an enchanted flower. In ancient times, it was thought that the perfume from their burning leaves could drive away evil serpents. Today, they're known as a talisman of love and a symbol of patience."

Almost 7 years and someone somewhwere is still sad because we didnt get pokemon Z

It is revealed in the Pocket Monsters Special manga for ORAS special, that Aster was as you stated the latest lorekeeper of the draconic clan, which in said manga was still active, but just a few remained. By the flashbacks that they show us of him (as a shadow) on top of Rayquaza, he was the one in charge of working together with Rayquaza to protect the planet of any meteors or asteroids. In the manga we see how he tried to help Rayquaza when the Pokemon Association sent several teams to capture the legendary dragon when it was in a cave in JOHTO.

#1 Biggest Pokémon Secret: Why did Gen 7’s tutorial need to be half the game?

I have a bit of a theory about Wally: In ORAS an NPC talks about how Pokemon Centers used to have a 2nd floor obviously a reference to RSE, but if ORAS took place at the same time as RSE the technology shouldn’t be as advanced as it was. This makes me think ORAS takes place in a timeline where the events happen years later than they did in RSE. (Possibly 10 yrs later if we use release dates.) If SuMo/USUM take place in that timeline then Wally wouldn’t have aged more than a year or two making it believable he would look the same. Heck we can use the same logic and assume Red and Blue are from FRLG making them around 20.

Wally is an anti-aging time traveler! 😱😱😱

As for Wally I just assumed it was because of his medical condition, I mean there are several medical conditions that can impede physical aging some of which have other problems as well.

Everyone’s talking in the comments about the theories and mysteries but while I was watching this video my mind was blown away by how freaking great this video is. You have grown a lot Hoops and I think you are really showing how much effort you put into the editing process of this video and I don’t think people are appreciating your effort. Love ya Hoops (but not in a weird way) and keep being great :)

Wish we got Pokemon Z with all the cut content

And now with gen 8 i think we can all come together and ask: What drew eternatus to earth in the first place?

Wally is the ash Ketchum of the games. He has his own story we don't get to see.

Wally is confirmed to have aged in Alola, according to Bulbapedia. Maybe he's just one of those oddballs who age too well for their own good.

Honestly hoops, you're videos have really taken a sharp turn UPWARD in quality. It shows well! You're doing a great job and this was so much fun to dive into! You nailed it :)

Maybe with Wally Gamefreak just used his model from ORAS and not bothered to age him, with Red and Blue they had to create new models

I'm curious about how Ghetsis met and saved the Shadow Triad, and what happened to N's real parents and how Ghetsis knew where to find him. I was gonna bring up the Ghost girl, but you did that. There's some hints scattered around town like a hidden message about going to go for help that's theorized to be about her and her possible appearance in the Richissime Hotel. Personally, I like running the theory that she was in TF, but had second thoughts, ran away and was killed while she was trying to find help. Wouldn't explain who the one is (her killer, maybe?) and why she was in ORAS tho.

I want to mention The Eternal Daydreamer’s theory. I can’t remember if I’ve come across this theory or not. Red and Blue needed 3D models, as they have appeared in generations 1, 2, and if I remember correctly, 5. Anabelle (Looker’s partner in SMUSUM) could’ve also needed a model, as, to my knowledge, she only appeared in Emerald. Wally already had a 3D model so they could’ve taken it from ORAS. Maybe GF decided to just reuse Wally’s 3D model from ORAS instead of making a new 3D model. I just wanted to touch on the strange person in X and Y. There is another one the exact same class and style in Alola. She says she can’t hear the elevator if the player speaks to her. Maybe the strange girl in Kalos was meant to meet up with the strange girl in Alola and somehow they ended up in two different regions? I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that theory on the internet, I just can’t remember where.

The most mysterious is the girl that says "you are not the one" because we literally know nothing about who she is or her backstory

I think wally has a unique disease that sort of slows down his aging process, (like how some people grow up but have the mind of a child- but in reverse)

the lumiose ghost girl was supposed to be post game content (if im remembering correctly) and probably woulda had something to do with pokemon Z

Yeah, I always thought Zinnia's Wismur was named after a family member. Her mother or an older sister or brother maybe.

I love how kalos has all these mysterious all stood out I do hope in the eventually gen 6 remake they get answered

Arceus "with a thousand arms helped shaped the universe" I always thought the unknown were his "arms" or "tools" that were used

When you first meet Wally in gen 3 he is a sickly little boy, a kid. The game posits that since catching his Ralts, his health has improved by leaps and bounds. This is explainable by some Gardevoir dex entries and is both a nice nod and cool story. In gen 6 remakes it is the same story but he has Gallade instead of Gardevoir. Gallade doesn’t have much of the same fluff as Gardevoir regarding his trainer but we can assume some sort of similar «powers » are at play since they share the same root evolution. This can also have had an age-slowing effect. While I agree he doesn’t look as aged as Red and Blue in Gen 7, he went from child cartoony ORAS model to teenager Sun/Moon model so some amount of aging happened. My money really is on the « Gallade cured him of his childhood illness and is now protecting him from effects of time » theory.

The locked and unused locations in Sun and Moon may have been due to some form of size constraint (but then again they added things to US/UM so that doesn't make sense). I do know that often times when this type of thing is brought up the answer is found years later and it's normally some sort of constraint with the system the game is on. The last Pokemon games on the 3DS systems push those systems to their limits and depending on what was planned for those areas it may have been impossible to implement. If SM/USUM had been on the Switch those areas might have actually been opened up with more content. But that is just a guess on my end. It could have been that they would have added those things and then something down the way changed and caused them to just cut the content for those things.

I heard several times that Professor Oak was an Elite 4 member specializing in Normal Types and was best known for his Kengaskan who could his Ghost types. The Wally thing... actually they just used his model from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, so your remark of forgetting to age him is most likely correct.

First a theory then a fact. Theory: Agatha and Oak’s relationship could’ve led them to marriage even possibly having children aka Blue’s parents however the two split up due to their differences. Also it is in fact confirmed canon that Iris is related to Leon and Hop. In the Pokémon Masters Mobile game she references Leon saying “I guess it runs in our family (Pokémon battling and being strong trainers)” then she goes on to mention her “cousin Leon is champion of the Galar region”

The biggest mystery is pokemon is what does diglet look like under neath or what does brock think jelly filled donuts are

The "No, you're not the one..." is pretty much the only mystery I still care about.

"no your not the one." i always figured was a missingno refrence. not the one = missingno.

Wally could be a late bloomer. His parents were saying he was always a sickly child too so he could have another condition. I didnt look older than 12-13 years old until after i graduated from high school. I'm not the only one who still looked like he belonged in late elementary school/early middle or junior high school throughout high school. So he could be in high school while USUM takes place 5-8 years after the events of playing through Hoenn.

I think wally has aged he just looks really young like anime characters who are 30 but look twelve lol.

Wally did grow! His facial proportions are more normal, his posture is fixed and his hair is different. He might not have gotten buff and tall like some returning characters but that's a snazzy suit.

Plotwist aster zinnias whismur is the same aster somehow turned into a whismur

The reason Wally is still so young is probably because they still had reusable assets for his model and everything leftover from OrAs. I can see the battle tree being created late in development so maybe they ran out of time and couldnt make new models for him?

In pokemon masters you can actually confirm Agatha and Oak had something going on - when you get Agatha you can do her quest and she talks about all the time they spent together

About Reshiram and Zekrom splitting apart, the fact that there is a machine called the "DNA Splicers", in Gym Leader Drayden's possession, no less, that can separate Reshiram and Zekrom from Kyurem and unite them hints that whole Kyurem did not split apart willingly, someone split the dragon in to two halves with Kyurem being the shell, someone instigated the conflict between the realistic brother and the idealistic brother, but who? Drayden's ancestor, maybe?

I think that the ghost girl might have just been something that a random dev snuck in without anyone else knowing until the game came out. And for Wally, it might just be an oversight from the devs. Red and Blue aged because they were actually shown before the Battle Tree and were advertised as basically the main features of the battle tree. Wally was basically just a cameo by comparison.

Gamefreak forgetting about Wally is the most likely reason actually Lets be real, Red and Blue aging there was for Genwunner Fanservice and Annabelle was aged because she had SOME story relevance, but Wally as JUST a contender, he has been forgotten about and put in for the same reason as i.e. Cynthia, which would be more akin of "Oh hey, here have these popular trainers i guess"

I remember being completely freaked out about that ghost girl at the time. So out of the blue and that damned floating animation kept me awake at night.

ORAS clearly doesn't take place at the same time as RSE, but rather a bit before XY.

I think the only logical thing at the moment(unless something appears is Sword and Shield) is that Wally might be related to AZ somehow

The biggest secret of Kalos is what AZ's deal was. Not the part where he's immortal (that part, at least, was explained), the part where he's like 20 feet tall.

You can catch Rayquaza in Johto in Heart Gold/ Soul Silver

the biggest secret from ALola is that the virus Pokerus has returned to the games, i Have it on several pokemons, it seems that when healing a batch of them at the center they all get contaminated with it.

As for Wally, he is known to be frail and sickly, so it is possible that despite the fact that a decade has passed since Gen 1, 2 and 3's time, Wally has not grown much because his bones and immune system is weak. I don't believe he is a "faller" like Anabel, who apparently was a "faller" 10 years prior to Gen 7 sometime after Emerald Version (Which explains why Anabel appears to be almost the same age as Red and Blue).

The Let's Go Pikachu&Eevee games end at the same time S/M begins, Brendan/May in ORAS were having their journey at the same time as Calem/Serena but means gen 6 & Let's Go Pikachu&Eevee are happening at the same time.

To my knowledge, Aster died during a fight against the Devon men, who where trying to steal Rayquaza (to use his energy, the same that Steven's father talks about in the Delta Episode). So Aster tried to protect Rayquaza but was killed by a fire set during the fight, and when Zinnia discovered that, she started living as we know her. Zinnia's cape was actually Aster's cape, but it was burnt during the fight. Also, the Noivern Zinnia uses was one of Aster's Pokémon. I'm not imagining things, that's said in the manga, during the ORAS part. Edit: btw Zinnia is best waifu material alongside Cynthia

Maybe Unown are the voice of Game Freak? That would explain their connection with the creation of Pokemon universe

I think it was classified that Unknowns are like the letter of the universe. Like they made the rules and ideas that Arceus wanted. Or they set the rules in place and when a powerful force breaks the rules they unwind and try to form the rules again or wait until the powerful force is gone.

First *main series* games to be 3D. Disregarding the Stadium games (because they didn't have a story) Colosseum and XD were the first 3D Pokemon games. As well as VERY well done and underrated! I hope that we get the chance to go back to the Orre region one day.

It could be that Wally arrived in Alola as a Faller quite recently. Think about it. If he is a Faller from the same universe as Anabel, but looks like he hasn't aged a day, then he probably arrived quite recently. Some universes timelines aren't always caught up with the main universe's timeline, and are usually behind. So what if her is actually from a universe where time is slower than the time in the main universe?

While it isn't explored further in the games, the oak and Agatha thing is mentioned a little more in the adventures manga. It is implied in Pokemon Generations.

my theory for why wally hasn’t aged is because overuse of mega evolution can stunt ones aging process due to the strain it puts upon the trainer and pokemon. red and blue aren’t shown to use mega evolution in any degree, and wally has mega gallade. there is a hole, however. dexio and sina are known to have use mega evolution in some regards, but they appear to have aged a bit.

So we just not gonna talk about the weird Easter island head......

What if Agatha and Oak were rivals similar to red/blue, it seems every generation has a set of rivals that use each other to get stronger. What if her beef with Oak is him giving up on his/their dream to follow science instead.

In game answer to wally could be his health stunting his growth. Out of game reason is probably they reused or reuse with slight editing the model from ORAS since that was easier than spending time making a whole new model with a whole new design for a reference character with no plot relvanance. I believe they did something similar in black and white 2(?) With a tournament dlc or something with all the different gym leaders? It would be cool if they gave a real in game explanation though!

If I’m not mistaken I’m pretty sure Aster’s story went more in-depth in the Pokémon adventures manga. I think she died in an accident involving Norman and Rayquaza’s escape from the lab.

Well Wally had a Gardevoir, maybe somehow the psychic-type prevented him from aging. Or maybe he got teleported to this world after Annabel.

In the manga it goes more into detail about oak and Agatha

read the ORAS manga, and you'll find out that Aster was the former lorekeeper; mentor of Zinnia. Aster was shown to have a deep relationship to Rayquaza, Rayquaza even allowing Aster to ride on its back. Here death was shown to be caused by the Devon Corporation, who wanted to capture Rayquaza with the sole purpose to create an artificial 'Green Orb' to control it, similar to how the Red and Blue orbs worked in the manga and anime. In order to capture it, the Devon Corporation created a smaller version of the Ultimate Weapon, used by AZ, 3000 years prior, to drain Rayquaza's life force to almost nil, weakening it enough for them to capture it. Unfortunately, however, the power of the Devon Corporation's weapon proved too much for any human to withstand, and Aster died. It is also told that the cloak that Zinnia now wears once belonged to Aster. The reason it looks so ragged is damage from Rayquaza's struggle against the Devon Corporation. so . . . yeah. The Devon Corporation is the real evil team of Hoenn.

4:46 If the Pokemon world is geographically the same as ours, then it wouldn't be so strange because of the short distance between both regions

6:01 did i just see a Mew use rock climb

I like to think the Zygarde cells quest in Sun/Moon was a holdover from XY or a potential sequel

If you want to know what happened between Agatha and Professor Oak it's explained in the second half of the red and blue manga

I really like how XY and RS tied in together, however I hate that they just dropped it. It was such a good story line but SM just dismissed the lute for Z moves -.-

This will be a good video

Mystery between Oak and Agatha is answered in Pocket Monsters Special

Wally was sick/sickly. Maybe whatever it was stunted his growth. It would've been funny if the ghost girl thing had something to do with trainer or secret IDs. She was waiting for a specific number and then something happened. We never got to see or hear about it though as the number was never generated or the person/people with it never went to that location. Or the number was reset when someone restarted their game while trying to shiny hunt starters or for some other reason. Since the games were data mined, this can't be the case but it would've made for some interesting stories "on the playground" from people who seen it but weren't able to prove it. Some mysteries or unanswered questions are a good thing but sometimes you just have to do something about them. Especially when you have so many games all taking place within the same world. Suikoden did this several times. Ted from the first game had a tragic backstory and you get to see a part of that in the fourth game. Same for Georg Prime from the second and fifth games. For those unaware, the second and third games are sequels to the previous games while the fourth and fifth are prequels. The fourth takes place a long time ago while the fifth takes place a short time before the first. None of the games take place in the same regions of the world though. You might visit a location or two from another game but it's not the main focus. It's a great display of world building. Konami used to know what they were doing and were really good at it at one time. Shame how that turned out. I wish they'd sell the series to SeGa/Atlus.

The relationship between Oak and Agatha is explained in the pokemon adventures manga

Perhaps Wally has a growth hormone deficiency?

1:28 Actually, Originally Oak was supposed to be the Champion. The last Pokemon that isn't taken at the start of the game, He is suppose to take it and then you battle him later on. This was scrapped and instead, you challenge your Rival in the end. Scrapped or Not, That is still how the story goes behind the scenes. This is proven as you can actually Glitch into a Professor Oak Battle in the original Games. He has a Team with all Pokemon above that of the Mewtwo you originally find iirc

Wally isn't the only character out of timeline in Alola. All of the Bosses in Rainbow Rocket should also have been aged, The Maxie and Archie in Alola aren't from the ORAS, and Ghetsis is from the Black and White and not it's sequel despite it happening after the events of BW. Also Colress is in Alola. The cases of Rainbow Rocket is pretty much like the case of Wally, Interdimensional Slip.

This is all just rabble that I came up with in a few minutes, but... Thousands of years ago, there were three great civilizations: the draconids, what would become the sootopolitans, and one more unknown group. Together, they could use their powers to summon great beasts from far off lands/worlds to protect them against threats(eg rayquaza, the original dragon?), but creating these portals cost life force. In their most recent time of crisis(before Delta Emerald), they met up to create the portal, but the only thing that came through was the unown, until those present ran out of life force to spend on it. Most of the draconids, ancient sootopolitans, and all of the third civilization(that inhabited the sinjoh/ruins of alph) were wiped out by the incident/conflict that they failed to prevent.

id like to think spencer hale from the 3rd movie was investigating the sinjoh ruins

In Sword and Shield, the mystery is "What the heck is the Watchtower Ruins?"

Wallie being a Faller I think makes sense... I mean, Anabel was a Faller from a long time ago... Maybe Wallie’s a more recent one?

I don't think they forgot to age Wally. I just think they didn't consider ageing him to be important. Just like they didn't age Red and Blue for B2W2, despite it being many years later. I think the ageing of Red and Blue for Sun and Moon is the exception, rather than the rule, as a combined result of nostalgia and the 20th anniversary of Pokemon. Definitely don't think they left Wally like that because of some hidden reason. Or, maybe, on the Mega Timeline, ORAS happens much later in the timeline than its non-mega counterpart??

Or maybe agatha is just a split personality of oak. As for wally, he became so healthy that he stopped aging.

Masuda is secretly not so secretly Thanos of the Pokemon world

What about the nameless Pokémon that died and turned into the legendary beast trio in gen 2

I hope we learn more about these secrets mentioned in the video in the future eventually! Hopefully as more regions are released, we'll learn more about previous regions along with the one we're in. But I'm sure knowing the answers to these secrets will just spawn even more questions! It's just good writing! Props to the writers!

Wally is the same age because ORAS happened at the same time as the mega timeline's version of red and blue, the let's go games. we know that's relatively recently to USUM because we see red and blue in both games and they're about the same age.

The Kalos Ghost Girl reminded me of a very cool anime called "Dorohedoro", where the main protagonist's head was turned into that of an alligator, and another head resides inside his mouth. Every time he sticks some magician's head in his mouth, the other head inside his mouth looks at it, and if it's not the magician he's looking for, he says "you're not the one". Pretty sure they're not connected though, just thought it was cool.

Maybe in the mega timeline, ORAS takes place at the same time as X and Y. There are only 2 years between those games and gen 7 so Wally's age would be explained.

rayquaza doesn't really reside in hoenn. it's been summoned there several times but it resides in space in the ozone layer. so it could probably technically be summoned to johto, kanto, cinnoh, unova, kalos, alola, or galar probably. it's most accosiated with hoenn but it's not really a residential legendary there

Wally is carrying around an Everstone just like Ash xD

What if Wally has that rare disorder that affects the growth of a person, like the guy in The Greatest Showman.

(Sort of spoilers for R/S) I always thought that Wally’s not-aging thing was related to his illness/potential death, and sort of an Eternal Diva situation where he was kind of awoken in the Mega Timeline as his younger self... Might just be me though

I can’t wait to get a copy of the New Pokémon ‘alphabet’ and write cryptic notes in it. A point of good news for sword and shield. Very fun video thanks!

I believe the pokemon world has gotten big enough that we can should start to get continuations, like black/white 2, or returns with a different story, instead of flat remakes.

Just going to speculate here, and its been speculated prior, so its not really groundbreaking: fans believe that 10:30 (Ghost Girl) was supposed to be a plot thread from the unproduced, and speculated "Pokemon Z" (I think you also speculated on this as well H&H)

I think that the whole Wally thing no longer means anything because I assume the Let’s Go games take place in the same universe as the 3DS games whereas Red/Blue don’t, and in Let’s Go, Red/Blue are their older selves. So it stands to reason then that ORAS takes place at the same time as LGE/P instead, which would make Wally only a couple years older at most, and he does look taller, to me at least.

I like how Sinnohs mystery could be answered in Legends
