WEIRD Facts About Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire! (Pokemon Games) 

you thought torchic would evolve into latias as a kid....well i picked mudkip thinking it would evolve into kyogre LOL

I actually sent my cartridge to Nintendo back then. I was so scared of losing my save, but it actually came back just a few weeks later with the shiny Zigzagoon. I'm not from the US though so I don't know if it was like that everywhere.

If that shiny Zigzagoon is real, it’s kind of a collectors dream. Such a cool addition to any collection.

You only got the Shiny Zigzagoon at locations that ran the event which also berry patched your game as a bonus.

OH SHIT I REMEMBER THAT BOOKMARK!!! You unlocked a memory that has been long locked away in the depth of my memory

I remember seeing that alien every time I would try sprite editing, was always curious but never bothered to look into it more. Just assumed it was some kind of super secret event. Even more so than Faraway or Birth Island.

I had no idea my Ruby file could be fixed by a patch from LeafGreen when I was young. I was so upset that my Ruby file, topping 600 hours, just stopped moving the clock forward, without any mention of an internal battery dying. I found out long after the fact there was this little function and it made a lot more sense what happened.

I'm not sure if you got the shiny Zigzagoon if you patched your game through another game, but I can confirm that you would get a shiny Zigzagoon if you sent your copy to Nintendo to fix it, because I was one of the 3 people who actually did that as a kid, haha. I heard other people say they got a Jirachi tho so I felt a bit scammed, but the process was basically: email Nintendo about it, send the cartridge in a letter or package, wait a bit, get the patched cartridge back.

A friend of mine actually sent her cartridge in to nintendo and she even showed me the zigzagoon. For some reason I didn't realise it was a shiny and I was too lazy to figure out how to send my game in/ talk to my parents about it just for a zigzagoon.

5:37 the gen 4 beta version used gen 3 character sprites for testing, since the gen 4 characters weren't ready yet. That's how you find Steven Stone as a team Galactic grunt.

Seeing that bookmark hit me like a nostalgia train

3:38 They stated that they were toying with extra move slots and party slots, but decided not to because it didn't actually make the game "more fun". They thought it would just be a pointless change. I believe they considered it again during DP development.

I'm surprised that in yesterday's poll about which game you thought today's video was on that Ruby and Sapphire got so few votes. Ruby and Sapphire have been the games I've made the most videos about this year

PaPaSea: You can patch R/S with the gen 3 gamecube games Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc: Am I a joke to you?

Considering I was a few years older than most Pokémon players at the time of these games, I actually got to do quite a few of these events! I have an e-Reader and several of the event battle cards, the Eon Ticket from Nintendo Power, and I do have that Shiny Zigzagoon, it was distributed at some Game Stops near where I live, still in my Ruby save file from when I got the berry patch

They basically gave you more move slots in the most recent Pokémon games by no longer requiring HMs

"You get a shiny Zigzagoon for patching your game" *Grabs GBA at light speed*

An additional fun fact, but for emerald, is how in emerald, there is an npc in the battle frontier that is a 4th in game trade where you trade a skitty for a meowth.

I have both of those coins saved in an old drawer of mine and had no clue where they were from.

Lots of nostalgia for gen 3. Fire red was the first pokemon game i have ever played.

Waiting for that one guy in the comments who's gonna talk about their experience sending their cartridge to Nintendo

Can't believe it was gen 3 they abandoned the gotta catch em all tagline. I'm still gonna do it game freak!

I just found your channel and i'm loving all your vids! d

I actually completed my pokedex on ruby and sapphire. Let me tell you it was a freaking grind.

I had no clue those coins even existed. I may have to look into getting them for myself.

According to Bulbapedia, the Zigzagoon is what actually patched the game for the berry clock glitch. You could go to gamestop and they would trade you the zigzagoon with a link cable. Apparently they did this until 2007 lol.

I did the Berry update just now! You don't get the Zigzagoon if you do it with the normal method sadly

I didn't send my cartridges in, but I brought one copy of Sapphire and two Rubies to the Nintendo HQ of Canada which happens to be local to me. I also got my 3DS replaced there after the screen got lines from closing.

I used to have a copy of pokemon ruby, but a "friend" sold mine. Thankfully I have the remakes plus emerald. I love these weird facts vids!

I actually found my copy of sapphire in a dollar store shortly before emerald came out for $10

I have a living dex in my copy of Pokemon Sapphire. I've been doing my best to get every pokemon as legitemently as possible, even going as far as to buy the japanese exclusive celebi bonus disc for Pokemon Colosseum. Only pokemon I cant seem to get through honest means are Mew and Deoxys, since with Glitzer Popping, can't be traded between games.

Heck yes, more Ruby and Sapphire content!

my cousin and i grew with this pokemon games, I've the Ruby version and one of my cousin have leafgreen and evermlad, also my youngest cousin have Shaphire. once I defeat the elite team, I start playing Shaphire so i could have one o each start pokemon i did a couple times so my cousin can also have all the start pokemon.

Critics: 7.8 Too much water Conclusion: Critics are team magma grunts

DUDE! I had that same bookmark!

I still have both my Ruby and Sapphire coins, but they're scratched to heaven and probably worthless.

A wild pokemon youtuber appered!

I would love more videos like this, reminds me of PikaspreyYellow. Just curious, did his pokemon content videos inspire you to do these types of videos?

I remember that bookmark. Ah nostalgia. Lol

I've remember having 20 e-reader cards I have no idea what to do with them and just throw them out, to this day I regret doing that

My Biggest fail in pokemon emerald is i thought that treecko would evolve into brelloom

The in-game trades are for contest

I love these videos

Wait so you're telling me that with my Pokemon Emerald game (that's battery has run dry and time events don't work in), my Pokemon Colosseum game, and my link cable I recently bought, I can still patch my Emerald game? And get a Shiny Zigzagoon?!?

you activated my Liquid Ooze

I got the kyogre coin.

Is it possible to patch a game of RS through E/FRLF with two gameboys in 2022? I have a childhood copy of Sapphire with a dead battery so time based events don’t work :(

I wanna see you play Pokemon Insurgence.

And they’re the only two mainline Pokémon games I don’t own

Honestly the only thing in this video that I did not know was the coins. Everything else I've heard before. lol

That bookmark was everywhere at school. Simpler times lol

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Eon Ticket when talking about the eReader.

Technically the game boy color is considered a different console, and Crystal, like a lot of gbc games, is incompatible with the original game boy (unlike gold and silver) but it did move from 8 to 32 bit. (Though it was 16 bit graphics but the processor was indeed 32 bit)

nice vid

Just bought a gamecube with colloseum a couple days ago. I connected my ruby with it but didnt get a shiny zigzagoon :(

2:05 my father went to Nintendo and did this. I remember I had sapphire instead of ruby. But I think I didn't get a shiny zigzaggoon

I still have my Groudon coin somewhere. It's opened so not much value but it's still cool.

I’m actually super surprised preordering through Nintendo Power like I did didn’t get you the coin. Knowing this just about 20 years later, I wonder why this is

I thought my Clamperl will evolve while holding deepseetooth/scale if i left it at the PC Box. I watched an Anime Episode of it lol. Same with Kadabra, Seadra I don’t know ways of Evolution before in Games lol My dreamy wish @RSE before is Feebas and Kingdra lol

My Biggest fail in pokemon emerald is i thought that treecko would evolve into brelloom i Really Love Brelloom

Lol Kno way I remember the book mark too

I had those bookmarks! no idea why I never asked for the game as a kid

There are 135 Comments in the video, which is also the number of Hoenn Pokemon

Yes my fav gen

The jirachi link also patched the berries if I recall correctly

Funny I did pre order the game but I lost that coin like a week after lol.

i don't recall the coins, i got a cool figuring

Cool!!!..

I went and got the patch at the Game Stop at my local mall - you just had to bring your GBA with the cartridge and they would patch it for you right there for free. And yes, I did get the shiny Zigzagoon, but in an unbelievably stupid move I lost it when I started a new game because I forgot about it lol

Technically the first time the main series games moved to a new console was Crystal with the GB color

If your from the Benelux area of europe If you would have send it to Nintendo to fix the ingame clock you would also get a Jirachi

I’m here!

Hold the phone! I have that Kyogre coin! I couldn’t remember where I got it from, but now I’m even more confused about where I got it because I got Ruby...

The most important fact is you should play emerald as it is better overall.

Just more reasons for me to be mad at Nintendo. The bullshit aftermarket crap was so rampant. The more I look back on it the madder I get.

This two games were so weak compared to emerald. No ditto to breed more eggs of your first starter so I couldnt negotiate any trades to get another starters without offering something really good of a egg or lv5 starter. Ditto was really expensive to get a in a trade. A cheap pokemon holding my only masterball or anything lv60+. Firered and leafgreen were more in a balanced playing field.

Korea didn't get them because of a rocky WW2 history. *USA innocently whistling, avoiding eye contact with Japan while they decide which countries get the game, based on past relations*

Hi

This is my favorite game

Sauce

oy

I wonder who'll get pinned today...

"Stemming from WW2" Wrong war. Korea became a protectorate of Japan after the establishment of the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 which was part of the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese war. In 1907 Korea was deprived of the right to administer its own internal affairs, and in 1910, Korea was directly annexed by Japan. Korea was made into a colony of Japan ruled by a governor. Koreans were made to participate in forced labor and conscripted into the Japanese military and Korea was economically exploited as part of Japan's overarching economic and political goals. There's a long list of forms of Japanese exploitation in Korea, but needless to say it was pretty horrendous. Where WW2 comes into play is that Korea was taken from Japan after the conclusion of the war. So the animosity is more like if a country conquered and oppressed you for 4 decades within living memory of some people. The fact Gold and Silver got in but the GBA didn't at all *is* very strange though.

Worst gen by far.
