Early Zigzagoon with ability Pick Up is a godly feature. It can provide you not only nugget, but ultra balls, vitamins, potions, rare candies and more. Emerald even changed this ablity to be even more op.

I love how when Werster discovered Glitzer Popping he was basically like "yeah I'm gonna call it Glitzer Popping because most glitches have boring names and I want this to have a cool name"

Fun Fact: the girl being teleported to the wrong spot by her Abra also was part of an anime episode

If you fight Wallace in Ruby/Sapphire before battling Winona, Wallace gives you dialogue letting you know to go to Fortree for the last badge. There are also a couple different spots where Professor Birch can be found between different badges.

4:05 maybe you know this but didn't mention it because this video is about Emerald but in B/W2 PWT if you battle Norman second he specifically mentions his family moved from Olivine City

Do glitches count as secrets now?

It never ceases to amaze me how people learn about these various glitches that are so incredibly convoluted and detailed. Do people learn this stuff by data mining? Or is it really something people just stumbled upon from years of trial and error?

Damn that first glitch is way too complicated how do people figure these out lmfao

Don't you need to unlock the battle frontier in order to clone plusle and seedot for them to corrupt for glitzer popping?

You’re out here making us all so nostalgic for Pokemon Emerald. Don’t leave us hanging…😢

I'm actually somewhat amazed that I first of all figured out about the Johto starters back in the day but also managed to get myself chikorita eventually. Wish Emerald had catch dates to feel even more nostalgic. Also I think we accidentally learned how to clone in the battle tower back in the day. Kind of amazing how much random stuff we found before it was easily available on the internet.

Please do Emerald Legacy!

The game devs thought of everything in generation three, however in generation eight and nine the devs just said "it's fine ship it"

I did the glitzerpop thing for Lugia, Ho-oh, Celebi, Jirachi, Mew and Deoxys. I was kind of annoyed I couldn’t trade over the last 2 because they weren’t “fateful encounters”. I got the GBA operator to just unlock the events to catch them normally lol

It would be nice if a secrets video only explained actual secrets, not glitches. Secrets are deliberately put into things, glitches happen by random chance from unusual data interactions, so starting a secrets video off with a glitch kind of goes counter the title.

Emerald started the field effects from Abilities. The best example is Synchro where you will encounter a wild Pokémon with a matching Nature based on the leading Synchro Pokémon's Nature 1/2 of the time.

I think it's good to mention that you can rematch all of the gym leaders after you've beaten the game. Everytime you enter the hall of fame there's a small chance that one of the gym leaders will call you for a rematch, they'll all have full teams with kanto and johto pokemon, and they'll all be double battles. Side note, Wally can also be rematched, but I'm not sure if he'll call you the same way the gym leaders do, or if he'll act like a regular trainer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Also, the gym leaders pokémon's level will varie depending on how many times you've rematched them.

Yeah, I guess you CAN do the Glitzer Popping before the Elite 4, but it's better to wait until after so you can access the battle tower and go nuts on cloning the eggs. Also allows you to create backups of the needed Pokemon in case you fuck up somewhere during the process. Also, the rabbit hole keeps going down when you look at the list of things you can do with corrupted Seedots.

IT'S HAPPENING I CAN FEEL IT EMERALD LEGACY

That first secret is just a real version of all of those playground rumors we heard as kids!

Leading off with Glitzer Popping. While technically you do not need to make backup clones of Dots and Pluses for the glitch to work, it would be extremely foolish not to do so. If you have your EVs of the only copy of Dots and/or Pluses set up do execute the code for one glitch, you will not be able to do the many, many other glitches which require different EVs on those pokemon. You also may make it not possible to use them to get the Egg to use Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). ACE in Emerald allows you to use PC box names basically like a GameShark code but also uses the EVs on Dots and/or Pluses as a requirement. If you didn't make backup clones of Dots and Pluses when getting Mewtwo, you "might" be locked out of ACE. Papa Jefe has a couple of really good tutorial videos where he links pastebins created by a couple of other people that go more in depth about ACE. The method of obtaining ACE is the same as obtaining Mewtwo, but instead of hatching a Mewtwo you get a glitch that executes your ACE code. I'd also argue it's a glitch and not a secret. When I think of a game secret, I think of something hidden but intended, such as out of the way signs or devs names hidden in the game and not being discovered for decades.

I sense something coming... Something... That will hold up to it's predecessor's Legacy

i love your videos so much, keep doing what you're doing!! thank you for making these

I'll be the contrarian and say that Emerald Legacy isn't happening, just because. But I gotta say, playing legacy versions instead of the unwieldy original versions is such a saving grace for me because I haven't really played these older versions (my oldest emulator experience is Platinum and my oldest official experience is Sword & Shield). So as someone who really likes the amenities of the modern gaming, the legacy versions are a godsend.

>Obscure secrets >Starts off with a glitch >Thumbnail is misleading on what it is, making it seem like there's a special interaction for having a Mewtwo by then My favourite secret in Pokémon X/Y is that one tile of the Lumiouse Tower fence you can walk through

Wish poketubers existed back when I was a kid, could have gotten all those mystery events I thought were completely closed off to me. Wouldn't have wasted so much time at the mossdeep space station.

Ah man. I never owned Emerald but I put thousands of hours into Sapphire. There's still so much I don't know about gen 3.

4:12 Gen 5's World Pokémon Tournament would have Norman reveal that he is specifically from Olivine City.

I literally never noticed that the museum had the S.S. Anne music...I just had to look it up and got melancholically nostalgic listening to the song, the FRLG verion, and the RSE version, all giving me their own sort of pain

I only got a Gen 2 starter because my friend had the GameShark and completed my Pokédex for me. I think I chose Cyndaquil

In emerald both the rich boy(winston i believe) and lady at the entrance and exit of petalburg woods have the exact same setup of zigzagoon holding a nugget. They even give an insane 7200poké(before amulet coin. Using a thief Pokemon on these 2 and getting amulet coin boost is definitely easiest way to farm money.

glitch= secret. kinda but i find it less interesting than an intentional secret. also gen 4 mewtow backsprite in gen 3 game.

So hows Emerald Legacy coming along, Chief?

"14 obscure secrets" 1: A well-known glitch 2: The same glitch but it can be used to get items 3: oh btw you can get more items with the glitch 4: An in-game event the player is encouraged to investigate Damn, you're off to a great start.

Ok I see the first section and immediately think how tf does anyone ever discover this. This is so unbelievably obscure and random, I don’t think most people fully grasp just how absolutely ludicrous stuff like this is.

Fun fact, it wasnt properly coded in (there's a youtube channel, Goppier or something like that, that makes it work), but instead of a Hiker you're supposed to also rarely see a wild Pokemon like a Zigzagoon. He fixed the code and it's cool to see.

Ackshually, in Pokemon Emerald, any mention of the player's family being from Johto was removed and was only brought back in Pokemon Black 2/White 2 and Pokemon OR/AS. ☝🤓

Emerald Legacy baybeeeeeee!!!!!

I don't think glitches count as secrets my guy

Huh, the Johto secret was a happy surprise

If you decide to do emerald legacy (which I can see happening), you should work with Bisa. He's a youtuber bascially remaking emerald himself and I can you to making something incredible.

Something similar to dive is waterfall I played a W2 randomizer and my starter was Goldeen so I got waterfall before the HM was given to me (it worked with the required badges regardless)

You can get ANY pokemon before the elite four with that well known and constantly covered method, why not just call it how it is.

Every Rich Boy and Lady in Emerald that has a Zigzagoon or Linoone is always holding a Nugget so wait as long as possible to thief them off. 1. Their money count is always the level of their pokemon x 200 (before the Amulet Coin) 2. Their Zig or Linoone is always holding a nugget. 3. Fight the two ladies in Juan's gym with the Amulet coin and thief for about 60,000 pokedollars combined

I hope you do an edit of this game, too. Some touch-ups and changing the dark and ghost physical and special split.

There's another interesting interaction when starting a new game and visiting your neighbor for the first time. There are a few ways you have things play out.

Another fun thing that reminds ppl of the johto league in emerald is the fact that u can actually copy pokemon the almost exact way u can in gen 2 games

These aren't secrets, these are glitches. There's a difference.

So as it turns out, FRLG had a habit of reusing names for Trainers of the same class from RSE. Examples I could find include Youngster Joey/Takeo, Hiker Clark/Kazunori, Bug Catcher Doug/Osamu, and of course, Psychic Jaclyn/Mariko.

Bro's headphones makes his integrated speakers on the gba sound good

4:18 Considering that my first pokémon game was Crystal it makes sense

I was scrolling and landed on one of your videis when this popped up in my notifications. Clutch timing

I think all of the music from GSC was used to test the sounds rather than having had encounters with the beasts planned.

The wallace line was for mewtwo was probably put in because some ppl who played FR/LG would trade over their Mewtwo to their R/S game, and would then proceed to trade them over to Emerald.

Emerald is my favourite game ever, from the secret base to the battle frontier, it's sad it has not gotten the remake it deserves

Anyone else ever see Latios/Latias while taking the gondola? Saw Latios once as a kid and freaked out. Can’t remember how many times I tried to make it happen again but gave up.

What was the music you used for #1? Sounds like an amazing remix of P5

5:40 OMG DUDE I KNEW I SEEN HIM ONCE OR TWICE GROWINNG UP I KNEW I WASINT CRAZY!!

I love how the devs accounted for these issues but not the RTC glitch in Ruby and Sapphire.

The legendaries weren't "unnoticed" or anything, they were locked behind events or glitches

OMG! Thanks for the fisrt secret, I never thought about that

The "misses" Johto soundtracks were for testing purposes, they were in the files of Ruby and Sapphire, and went unused.

PLEASE UPVOTE THIS SO PEOPLE WILL SEE MY WARNING: Do NOT use your main game to do the pomeg glitch for warping to the special islands as it will forever break a party slot. Do it on a preliminary playthrough for extracting rare Pokémon/items.

Did you know they were giving around about a 100? Mute in generation one like each time with green red blue and yellow. They gave out a few 1000 each 1 came with a Certificate and the ID number of the pokemon/trainer and there name

i wanted to ask you chris, theres one pokemon in the entire pokedex of hoenn i never was able to catch as a kid and that is feebus i had help from a friend from a trade to obtain it but then evolving it was much worse then catching it so do you know how to obtain feebas through fishing? if so can you explain it through a video perhaps?

I believe there was also special dialog if the beldum from steven was shiny

Am I smelling an emerald legacy on the horizon?

Man's about to fix emerald.

I dont understand why it takes so much steps for a mewtwo. Like back then, there was no youtube or enough internet sources to actually know how to get a mewtwo.

Damn i should've used this back then to catch them all in emerald

Aren’t those safari Johto Pokémon also the same ones from the GameCube titles? Could be miss remembering

Did you guys know….hold on…get this…that you can CHOOSE YOUR PLAYERS NAME when you begin the game?

Pokemon Emerald was peak Pokemon 😍

Wait when in the gen one lore does it mention Team Rocket visiting faraway island?

All these years, thinking I know everything about my favorite Pkmn game, and there's still new things being surfaced.. well, I mean, the Pomeg glitch, that is lol

Who tf discovered this and how?

"Here's and obscure secret." *cheats*

The old Pokémon games had so much mystery. So many things programmed into the cartridge that you would otherwise miss or stumble upon. People used to make whole theories about secrets that could be in there

Regarding the cable car, there was also a 1% chance that you'll see a Pokemon, probably Zigzagoon or Poochyena, I think.........

Emerald legacy confirmed

Oh my god! I till now i thought i dreamt that hiker!!!

The dive thing is so cool

(5:10) You can get the Johto starters in Pokémon XD as well.

Hey Vsauce, Zigzagoon here

Are you able to do these on a GBA without a GameShark or are these emulator only?

Want to start off by saying I found the video entertaining and that I watched it through to the end, to start on a positive note. A couple of criticisms: I clicked on the video because I wanted to see 17 obscure secrets in Pokemon Emerald. But there were only 14, and they weren't all Emerald-specific. The end is way too abrupt - it switched to the next video in my playlist before I had a chance to realize the video was over. Take them with a grain of salt if you care, as I'm just a random passerby. And to leave on a positive note, one thing I did like is the music overlay in the bottom right during that section.

Oh yeah Glitzer Popping. Seems legit and not like those ridiculous cheats from 2006 online to get the magic muffler.

My god, the attention to detail was just different back then.

Maaan I didn’t even know chikorita was a gen 2 pokemon….

0:31 you mean "fainted" not "feinted"

Okay, first time I knew all presented "secret", and almost all of them found myself while playing it... I definitely wouldn't call them obscure

This is more like a secret list for Emerald. Things like the Pomeg Berry glitch only work in Emerald, but you mention Ruby and Sapphire at 0:08....

Is that Persona music in Pokemon style?

Love the Persona 5 music 👌🏻🔥

I remember when I played emerald when I was little I beat it 5 times and I got deoxys one time and i could never figure it out again

"you can get mewtwo before elite 4" oh wow how do i do that "you need a pomeg berry" of course

Ok, question: how do you Glitzer Pop something beyond #255?

These feel like the old playground rumors come true😂

This guy has a different face for every single word he says

My IQ is too low to understand what the hell was that Mewtwo procedure.
