Dude you were so lucky. One time I opened the front door to my house, and I ended up on the top floor of the Empire State Building. I live in New Jersey. I had to have my parents come pick me up.
Ever notice that if you talk to the advice dude in the Vermilion Gym he states that Lt. Surge's Pokemon are super-effective against BIRD type, instead of Flying?
Exactly! Maybe MissingNo., while being a default/place holder/BETA thingy was supposed to be a Flying Type. And yet MossingNo./'M' can evolve into Kangaskhan.
Yeah, I think so too. My guess is that they planned to have the beginning of the game follow the anime more closely, but ultimately went with how it goes in the final game.
I've always thought the "Hurry. Get away!" thing was because it was Yellow, which was based on the tv show. In the show, Pikachu gets hurt, and Ash has to run to a Pokemon Center while being chased by Spearow. I was always imagining that there might be a point where you'd run to a Pokemon Center, carrying Pikachu, all the while you'd keep getting random encounters of Spearow. And since your only Pokemon, Pikachu, couldn't fight, "Hurry get away!" would pop up, it'd force you to run, and you'd keep going.
About the incomplete track at 4:02... The lost/intended version has been found! It actually has for a while, it was found when the source code for Gold and Silver was leaked and was actually intended as a trading theme. For why it sounds so corrupted and the loud saw sound, the first is because it's using the wrong values and the second is just a piece of the (I think?) Vermillion City track. The more you know.
The Chief case is ironic considering he's got a ghost like appearance without the lighting code, has a sinister smile without the lighting code, he is unused and found in the water. Chief Drowned. Killed by the current Silph President.
The Surf HM actually calls the "use item" function with the surfboard item (after checking if you can use it). Dig also works this way (it uses an Escape Rope). Other field moves don't activate items, though, so it's strange that the item exists at all.
Or its just simply cause they reused the ????? code's for Surf rather than removing it, as it is MUCH easier to change something then to delete it....Makes sense considering back in a day..... programming wasnt so simple... and devs have limited sources to work with...
Years late, but a year back the Pokémon development investigation group Helix Chamber was presented with some datamined info and content from various unreleased builds of Red/Green, and among this was an early list of items; which refers to the surfboard item as "Lapras"! Not sure what that means, maybe Lapras wasn't supposed to be an actual Pokémon at first? I saw speculation that maybe all your Pokémon were once supposed to be kept in the inventory, but that seems very unlikely to me. (Admittedly the leak is a bit iffy, but the 2020 Pokémon leaks have confirmed that the backsprites and maps that came in the Helix Chamber leak were legit at least, and same for what the unused music was meant for, so there's that!)
@@LonelySpaceDetective In some old interviewes, they mentioned not all Pokemon where originally meant to be catchable Lapras might of been one of those uncatchable Pokemon
Toshinobu Matsumiya is one of the plot writers for nearly every major Pokemon release, and it is quite likely the trades were for testing the mechanic and were removed because they had served their purpose rather than actually being cut.
@@PhantomTiger1396 According to Dr Lava, prototype files indicate that it was supposed to play talking to Giovanni in the Viridian City Gym before the last battle.
Wow, 3,000 views? Thanks so much everyone. I know it's been a while since the last video, but don't worry, I will be coming back with more content soon.
According to the 2020 Pokémon leaks, it was supposed to be used as a Giovanni theme; presumably it'd play when you talked to him before (and after?) a battle.
I gotta say, when I clicked on this video I expected another copycat list of unused Pokemon, text, and items that everyone already knows about, because R/B/Y have been data-mined and hacked to death. I was pleasantly surprised to find a video which went over unused Pokemon content I had never heard of before! Excellent job with your research/digging--it's nice to know that there's still some mystery left to these old games for us to discover! Subbed for utterly impressing me :D
Professor Oak I think the reason they cut it makes senses though; The third starter would be incredibly easy for you to beat with yours, unlike your rival's.
You know how I would see it? After getting 150 pokemon, Prof. Oak would congratulate you for catching all pokemon and becoming a champion. But then reveals that he has one more challenge/task that you need to do.... ....and that would be the previous Kanto Champion AKA Prof Oak. He fights you, you beat him and to commemorate the victory..... Prof. Oak would give you "Mew". 151st pokemon completing the pokedex. That would be cool....
@@deoxysandmew2162 cool idea, but the MEW for prize idea is pointless and would waste a lot of people's time if they're already getting from the live mew event
It's very likely "Bird" type is actually a glitch type that just reads the string for "Bird-type Pokemon" a classification of Flying-types shaped like birds (so Gyarados is not one; Altaria is one, but not Normal), or "Bird Keeper" the trainer class, and not a cut type.
one time i was screwing around with gamesharks while in mt moon. i got in a battle with a team rocket member, the battle continued as you would expect. but when i beat his 3 zubats i could fight him. my brothers where laughing our asses off. so we decided to catch it. and it worked somehow, basicly its missingno but just a team rocket grunt. true story
The funniest thing i did with a gameshark was running around black city in pokemon black 2 (i think it was in 2) and there i used a trainer pokemon steal hack. Basically i can catch trainers pokemons. Black city was full of unobtainable/super rare pokemons that trainers used... and then i stole them all. My friends always wondered how i got them and told them "i caught and traded them in black city". Hence all my friends played white 2, they were really pissed that i got those cool pokemons.
Something interesting I've noticed while playing FRLG is the Eevee you get. Normally it just says you met it in Celadon City, but if you check its summary in the department store, it says you met it at Celadon Dept. It changes back once you leave, though.
The original event Mew was a trade. Unlike modern event giveaways, you would trade an unwanted trash Pokemon to the Wizards of the Coast event organizer like any other trade. They most likely had a special Red,Blue cart with a pre existing PC filled with Mew.
I'd rather nickname my own Mew by using the Mew Glitch. I named my Mew, Sox, after my oldest cat. She's about 5-6 years old in human years and she has black AND white fur.
In theory, couldn’t the unused warp point in Celadon indicate that the department store was originally going to be spread out as a handful of different buildings instead of just in one big one?
For the last one, I seem to remember something about thanks to gambling rules in Japan, you couldnt have the gamble area and the one where you can exchange the coins in the same building, so you had to go to another house right beside. Its been ages since I played the local versions of the first gen, so I am not sure how it was in Europe. I remember having to go into that other house.
I recognized that Bomberman music on the first couple notes. Damn, shows how much time I spent getting all the gold cards back in the day. Nice vid, fam!
That 1st unused music that is corrupted was supposed to be a Trading Theme where the two channels would play on both gameboys, making it sound like a duet.
@Stefano Colombo A video by Zumi Daxuya containing many unused songs from Generation 1 mentions the information. The song in question plays on this video at 3:58. Also, here are more videos of that song: Hacking the game to play the song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4wBsA5Bh4d0.html The song again, but distorted: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iNrO_qEYP3c.html The song restored: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GyoxWKZ6s8w.html
Fun fact, Matsumiya is short for Toshinobu Matsumia, the scenario writer for every pokemon game except for Pokémon Red and Green, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
Are you ready to read a childhood story about Pokemon? Then go read more So when I was 13, I was the only one out of seven of my friends to choose Bulbasaur with four of them choosing Squirtle and the other two choosing Charmander. Me and my team always won battles between my friends and I because I kept leech seed and poison powder on my Venusaur and after I got them seeded and poisoned, I would switch Venusaur for ether Kabutops with his high critical hit rate slash or I would switch into Alakazam to get psychic and recover going. So my always winning team in gen 1 was was my starter Venusaur, the Mt. Moon fossil Kabutops, the nugget bridge Abra, the Rocket game corner Dragonite, the Celadon maison Jolteon and the victory road/cave Moltres. The cartridge is still with me and if I can find a Gameboy to play it on, I probably wont let go of it.
@PeeDerpie He cant, Gen 1 and 2 pokemon cant be transfered to tge next generations, and since the batteries on the GB cartridges run out in a span of around 20 years his childhood team is sadly doomed to be deleted
Replace PoisonPowder with Toxic and your Venusaur will become overpowered due to a glitch in Gen 1 that will apply the ever-increasing damage of Toxic to Leech Seed, which will then translate to ever-increasing healing from the jacked-up Leech Seed!
@@danieliglesias7119 I know it's old but couldn't he just transfer his save if he had the right tools to his pc or like anything? Then he could at least play it emulated
@@cassatan5318 For that he would need a ROM dumper and a working save, since the battery on the cartridge cant last more than 20-25 years, it's pretty likely that his save has been deleted already
Your Gen III unused content video showed up in my recommended videos and it's much easier to watch a video about the unused content than to try to read The Cutting Room Floor pages about most games NICE BOMBERMAN 64 THEME
Had a dream as a child that there was a basement level of Viridian City in the original games where there was a maze of hallways with occasional power plant equipment and the opportunity to face Mew as a legendary sprite.
I remember that game so fondly, especially the costumes for battle mode. I wonder where Pikasprey got the remix of Green Gardens though... I can't seem to find it...
Years late but funnily enough, that *is* what it was meant for! The source code data from the 2020 Pokémon leaks refer to it as a theme for Giovanni. Presumably, it would have played when talking to him.
I always like seeing the placeholder names in games like these, often things like character and item names and appearence change many times and are not finalised (and added into the code itself) until quite late in the development cycle, but a name is still required for functional testing of the code as you build. So often you come across little joke placeholder names thrown in by the devs
Sooooooooo can we get more of this in the future? Because I find myself rewatching these for I-don't-want-to-know how many times because I like your style a lot.
Thanks, there will definitely be more Unused Content videos among my future videos. As for Pokemon Gen 3, that'll definitely be happening. Pokemon is just a monster of a series in terms of cut content to work through.
I collect this kind of information by searching around through different sites and sources to confirm it's credibility. Bulbapedia and tcrf are good starting points, as they often have proof in the form of videos or image files found within the games. A small amount of things also come from just messing around with the game myself.
"click that stuff to the left, or the right, who fucking knows" LOL almost as good an ending as the Luigi's Mansion 8 bit music. You've come a long way in these 2 years :D
松宮(Matsumiya) is a last name in Japanese made up of "pine tree" and "shrine". I highly doubt that they meant 待つ宮(matsu miya) or "wait palace". But people will still try to translate it that way because it sounds like it might have some special meaning. Also, here's an article that tells the more probable meaning: iimarckus.org/i/trades/
@@kenpachinopein3954 either way is was most probably just a placeholder anyway :/ but still very interesting, my older sister speaks japanese, I will ask her :]
Everyone knows about the Pokemon Center PC in the Celadon Hotel, proving that they're the same map with different objects. Your house in Gen 1 is the same map as Copycat's house in Saffron. Two badges in Gen 1 had their names goofed - Sabrina's Soul Badge and Koga's Marsh Badge. Swapping which quarter-tile pulled the encounter data is why Missingno. is so easily accessible in the non-Japanese versions of RB. Missingno. exists because there were closer to 240 planned Gen 1 Pokemon, but the slots for them remained...
To the Mew and Pidgeot trades being named matumiya: I imagine they were place holders, just trading the same Pokemon just in case it got triggered somehow in final, it wouldn't end up being a game break, you wouldn't end up with a trade accidentally getting left in the game that allows you to trade a one of a kind mew for some other random common Pokemon over a glitch or a programming mistake that triggers a hanging function. Just an early stage safety in setting up another trade. And to the name, I don't do game dev, but when I'm testing stuff like that I often name parts of functions or something after myself or label them with my extension, so that if another programmer comes upon it and doesn't know what it is, he/she knows who to ask about it , before removing it or implementing something that I didn't intend to be implemented or whatever. So I would guess that's what happened here, "Matumiya" was probably the name or nickname of a member of the team. These aren't as common practice as they should be admittedly, but every really well organized team I've worked with has had similar systems in place. Professional opinion; it just shows that they probably had a surprisingly competent team working on those games. I can actually see how a lot of the problems/glitches in those games are actually caused by responsible programming decisions that just got forgotten over a long term project rather than oversight or negligence. It's interesting that even most of the glitches in the games highlight more or the teams skill than their shortcomings. Though I could be wrong, that's just my take at a glance. I don't know much about the inner workings of the games and haven't played them in decades.
I think Red and Blue's unused track was for some legendary or mythical Pokémon battle (I feel like it's for the legendary dogs (or beasts) for some reason and the dogs are pitched in late development but they are scrapped because of memory needed and then moved to generation 2 (Gold, Sliver, and Crystal) like some other Pokémon) and Yellow's unused track ether sounds like a city or gym. Or is Yellow supposed to be a new generation and that would be a Pokémon Trainer encounter music?
The song (there are better-sounding versions of it out there) sounds way too cheery to be battle music - except, like, maybe the "enemy defeated" tune. My guess is it was either intended for some city, or as 'Follow me!' music.
Could have been for Ho-oh? That pokemon is in the very first episode of the TV show and is shown with the other legendary birds on the stone tablets in the Pokemon center - ash comments to Oak that he saw it.
Have you seen the Red/Green beta asset leaks? A few things that they cleared up: 1. The Silph Chief trainer DID originally have a front sprite, which was stolen by Blaine in the final version. 2. Blaine's sprite back then had him as a soldier, like in the anime concept art. 3. Missingno actually IS the remains of deleted Pokemon just like the theories that fans have believed for the entire lifetime of the series had said, and the back sprites of those Pokemon were among some of the leaked assets. 4. the Safari Zone tileset is very similar to the Capumon overworld tileset (Yes, the Capumon overworld map leaked, INCLUDING the interiors and caves! 5. When you defeat Snorlax and it says he returned to the mountains, there actually WERE mountains *rather, cone-shaped hills meant to REPRESENT mountains) arranged in a square around the tile Snorlax was placed on, in a slightly later version of that route from a time in development BETWEEN the Capumon map and the final version. 6. Blastoise's cry originally belonged to Omega, the robot Pokemon shown as concept art in a Pokemon concept art book. 7. One of the deleted Pokemon that became Missingno was an evolution to Marowak which was basically an immature Kangaskhan, which confirms ANOTHER long-lived fan theory, the one that Cubone is a baby Kangaskhan. 8. Raichu originally DID have an evolution, just like the PokeGod rumors from back in the day said, however it was named Gorochu and not Pikaflare.
4:03 I think its been now found out why that track exists and it's only incomplete sounding because it needed another Gameboy to play the full track. It is speculated, and I kinda believe it personally, that it was an early version of the trade music when you're linked by link cable.
What about the SS Anne truck? its an unused sprite (despite all the rumors about it) and its in a place you shouldnt be able to go without trading pokemon or the lose glitch.
Nativ Safra Still an unaccessible (through normal means) set of interactive (you may bump into it) imagery. Much like the unused and therefore unaccessible fountain tiles in the G/S/C safari zone.
You do get a Lava Cookie in FR/LG if you check the truck. It’s an item that works just like a Full Heal, but as for the original truck in Gen I, it’s virtually anybody’s guess as to why it’s there.
I know one unused song, I can't remember which one, was just a slower version of a song used in Mendel Palace, another Gamefreak game before Pokemon. Also, that one that sounds like it was supposed to be an alternate song for Victory Road? I'm pretty sure that one was remixed in gen 5. (It sounds similar anyway... If I remember right.) And I kind of like to imagine the Nugget having a message on it like "if you can see this, you're hacking the game." I... I like doing things like this in games I make- hide something out of bounds and have some weird message for it. But that's just me. 7:13 is just a scientist that never loaded. Go into a battle with any scientist and stare at it before it stops and reveals himself completely.
TheBrandonMaster2 Got a few more in the works, not all of them Pokemon related though. I wanna have some variety as well as not burn through all the generations too fast. But rest assured, I WILL be covering all of them.
Pikasprey I'm fine with that. I'm happy to see unused content in these video games. Speaking of unused content in video games, you should see if you can do a video on the unused content of Luigi's Mansion. The game has so much unused content. Hopefully enough to fit in a video. This is just a suggestion, you don't have to do it, but it'd be nice if you did. If you need ideas, just ask me, I might have a couple ideas. Another idea is Super Smash Bros. Melee. Can't wait for more of these amazing videos! Thanks.
TheBrandonMaster2 Yeah, I know about the stuff in both those games and definitely plan to get to them. Unfortunately, since I started I've learned that these kinds of videos take a long time to make. Right now I'm almost finished one for the game Persona 3. After that, I was going to start one for Mario Party.
New information about the unused music tracks reports a few things. One, the track from Red/Blue was likely made like that because of corrupted data. Two, said track was likely to be used during a trade. Three, the Yellow track was a trainer encounter theme for Giovanni that was scrapped.
Great and very informative video! Pretty cool stuff, I didn't know of those before. Thanks for making these well-edited videos with such awesome content! ^^d
You forgot one of the many "Placeholder names" not used in game for RED and BLUE is "Ninten" and "Sony." Ninten being a reference to Nintendo and the Original Mother Game with the protagonist of the same name. While Sony being sony.
the only creepy pasta that had me scared a little was the Russian sleep experiment and that is only because I read it before I knew what creepy pasta was and I thought it was a dialog of a true event.
