A while back, I made a video all about looking at Lavender Town and I really enjoyed making that. I wanted to do that again, this time looking at everything about Cinnabar Island and the Pokémon Mansion. A special thanks to Mah-Dry-Bread for letting me use his save file from his Slowpoke only play through.

You too? Yeah, it came as no real surprise to me that the island with science labs (and one known for experiments so dangerous they ended up burning down their own building) also contained the most mysterious glitch pokemon, intended by the devs or not. In fact, it makes even more sense when considering it was never intended by the devs.

I have a theory about the burned down mansion. During development, it was originally planned to be the home of Moltres, but was repurposed at some point. After you get surf, you unlock a few optional dungeons. One is Seafoam Islands: an ice themed dungeon where you find Articuno at the bottom. Another is the Power Plant: an electric themed dungeon where you find Zapdos at the end. Finally there's Cinnabar Mansion: a fire themed dungeon that was made mandatory and teases at the existence of Mew and Mewtwo rather than having its own legendary present. Instead, Moltres was awkwardly plopped into Victory Road after you collect all 8 badges, and has to squat in a different location in every game. It's also worth mention that you find Jynx in (Japanese) Seafoam Islands, Electabuzz in the Power Plant, and Magmar in Cinnabar Mansion.

@WaterKirby1994 10 күн бұрын

Red had Electibuzz, Japanese Green = Overseas Blue & had Magmar, While Japanese Blue had Jynx. I'm assuming that Cinnabar Mansion may have been an optional volcano at 1 point in early development rather than a required location giving Mewtwo's backstory. Could you imagine what it would have been like if Cerulean Cave were unguarded & accessed as soon as you got Surf?

@OmegaVideoGameGod 9 күн бұрын

@browncow5210 Actually no, in the prototype version moltres was suppose to be in Cerulean cave, it was supposed to be like an underground volcano area there’s even an email you can read on the computer on Cinnabar island in one of the labs that states how there’s a bunch of researchers that have found three caves pointing out to where the legendary birds might be in the first one they’re going to investigate it’s a really good cave which is what might be where Moltres was well originally because of cartridge limitations they had to remove all this and the things that ended up getting scrapped to make room for the game was some of the maps well Moltres was supposed to be where Mewtwo was supposed to be supposed to be in the silph co in the to be more than just what we got and what’s interesting is they were supposed to be a boss rush at the end Professor Oak was supposed to be the final boss they were supposed to be nine gym badges I don’t know where the ninth gym later was there was supposed to be in ninth town and it would just go on from there there were some other changes to their was originally supposed to be 191 Pokémon but we only got 186.

Mewtwo still has some of the coolest lore in all of Pokemon. The fact that it's not even part of the main story, but it still has so much buildup really inspires awe in you. Everything about the atmosphere at the burned down mansion tells you that something ugly happened here...

@4fives992 Ай бұрын

"Mew gave birth" Three words that strike a little chill into my heart even now. Even though we got breeding in Gen 2 I just can't shake the feeling that these heartless scientists realized that this was not something that should have ever happened. It sucks that it got retconned in the movie to Mewtwo being a clone of Mew instead of it's abominable offspring. The music, the journals, the labyrinthine structure of the manor, Gen 1's atmosphere still holds up even today.

@HighPriestFuneral Ай бұрын

"It was created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments." Well, the Pokedex entry... for as valid as those are, does mention that Mewtwo was created by a scientist. So the lore was always a bit up in the air regarding Mewtwo anyhow.

We also should consider the rumor mill of Ditto being failed Mew clones, while the original games don't really show it, it is interesting that all the later games seem to want to keep Ditto in the Mansion. Its very likely its a subtle nod at the rumor being canon. Oddly the game never states they are trying to genetically clone mew in the dairies. The Pokedex for Mewtwo shows the true colors of "mews birth" if the way Mewtwo looks in those early games doesnt give it away on its own.

@smob0 Ай бұрын

The basic reason you get items from missingno: When you encounter a pokemon, it sets a flag in memory that you've encountered it for your pokedex. When you encounter a missingno, the ID number associated with missingno is too big and is out of bounds of the pokedex, so it overflows and puts the flag into your item bag data by mistake. It just so happens that missingno's id is the same as the 128 digit in the 6th item slot. So seeing a missingno sets the flag, and thus the 128 digit, to 1, which is the same as adding 128 to that number if you have 126 items or less.( I think 127 is complicated, and ends up being 0 and/or the cancel button)

Still imagine, that they made a small boring looking town still interesting, telling a story. As a kid I wanted to know more about the journals, I was invested and thought there is more to explore. There wasn't of course but still, there was dedication. In our first playthrough, we did not know what to expect. We had big dungeons before like silph co. It was disappointing though to realize at some point that there was not more in the building. In the end it was just good story telling, making the best of the limitations of the time. Games were different back then without the internet.

Interestingly, I had the reverse experience you mentioned: when I was younger, it was just a way to get the key to the gym and a few new mons, but in more recent playthroughs, I've really started to soak in the atmosphere and story implications. Ome subtle thing that deserves mention is Blaine having a picture of himself and Mr. Fuji, and the subtle realization that Fuji's dedication to caring for lost or abandoned Pokemon is his way to make up for all the no doubt less than ethical things he did as a researcher.

I love the computer in the Cinnabar Lab that mentions the three legendary birds as well as plans to explore a cave near Cerulean City in an attempt to locate them. It means that when a player finds Moltres in Victory Road they'd probably decide to go look for the other two if they haven't found them already. Plus it lampshading the location of Mewtwo is awesome.

You probably know this, but early Pokemon was always set in the real world... with obvious differences. Before the original games came out they released a manual or a booklet or something that's basically scientific research/journal of very recent discovery of strange supernatural creatures that started popping up all over the world, with Kanto being a hotbed of this activity. In universe this would probably be set 2 or 3 generations before Red and Green came out. Enough time where pokemon would be used(?) in ww2 and Prof Oak and Agatha would have been young to start their journeys.

Gold can make ANY egg hatch in seconds upon contact and imprint his personality upon the baby pokemon. Pokedexes are extremely rare and getting one is a sign from God (metaphorically, not phrased that way) that you have super powers (Gold's hatching, Silver's ability to trade pokemon [Can't anyone?], Crystal's ability to catch pokemon [Which she worked for], Green's ability to steal [which she learned with Silver, so why isn't he that good?], Yellow's telepathy and empathy (Which is because she's born in Viridian, not genetic?), Ruby is the best battler and coordinator, Sapphire has animal senses from living in the woods, and I forget the rest).

The Elite Four are super terrorists. Lance nuked a city with Dragonite. Lorelei has straight up ice voodoo magic, but it functions on what she believes to be real (Lorelei cuts off Green's arm with magic, just for it to be revealed that Lorelei cut off the one fake limb made by a ditto, not her completely real arm that she was hiding in her shirt). If you get all 8 badges they magically enslave any pokemon. If you use the Team Rocket booster with them, you can also enslave humans and force the legendary birds to fuse. Lt. Surge is a terrorist who kills kids and traffics pokemon. Oh yeah, Prof Oak entered the champion tournament (Like the Elite Four in the games/anime) explicitly to traumatize Green with an exclusively flying-type team (She has PTSD because she was kidnapped as a small child by a flying pokemon, and Oak somehow knew this) as punishment for stealing a pokedex, even though she saved the world from Team Rocket. After terrorizing her he forfeits his right to challenge for number 1, making the Red v Blue semi-finals the finals. Just to illustrate how Oak walked in only to hurt a young woman that he knew was kidnapped and indoctrinated by a terrorist. Speaking of which, Pryce from Johto is also a terrorist. He kidnapped children (Green, Silver, and others) and trained them to be soldiers and spies. Edit: Oh yeah, iirc Giovanni and Lance are both evil because they have the same powers as Yellow. Instead of abhorring violence because they understand the pokemon's pain, they went on to cause mass destruction to avenge them. That was Lance's huge overarching goal, killing all humans so that pokemon can live in peace. This also makes the "Viridian Power" weird. It's not genetic, otherwise Claire and Silver should have it. Instead it's randomly handed out based on if you're literally born in Viridian city. It's supposed to be rare, which maybe it is, but there's no requirement other than being physically born there. Also Giovanni killed a magmar? (I can't remember) that Blue defeated and refused to kill. It was making a mess of Giovanni's gym, Blue protected Giovanni (who's in disguise), and after Blue left Giovanni finished the job just because he could.

wtf are you talking about? your comment doesn’t break youtube’s terms. if your posts are getting deleted, it’s because the people whose videos you watch don’t appreciate what you have to say

@@winterwatson6437 I wasn't sure if youtube would let me talk about terrorism or killing children. If what you say is true (I'm not saying it isn't, I just thought it was this youtube censorship I keep hearing about) then it's strange that people that engage in politics don't like politics or want their viewers to know the full situation. I could see others supporting a group doing terrible things, but when I spoke up about it I was silenced.

Not only do the scientists mention Guyana, South America in the journal entries, they say they "christened" the pokemon as Mew, which implies Jesus Christ and Christianity exists in the pokemon world.

interesting that test animals are there, rats and dogs. Then theres ditto which i had come to understand to be failed mewtwos. vulpix either fits as a small test animal, or maybe is there because its thematically mystical. i get that koffing and grimers are manifestations of pollution, but in the context of this wacko gene lab, one cant help but notice the similarity of grimer to ditto, both being purple-pink masses with a face on them. grimer, to me, gives "the impurities extracted" so you have a more refined and stable Ditto, and what was removed from that process, toxic chemicals that can still have sentience and control its shape (minimize). This lab was so interested in creating mewtwo, and creating new life. Its interesting to think that vulpix, growlithe, and magmar all evolve with the help of an item. finally, koffing invokes the image of a cancerous tumor, with weezing looking even more cancer-like (they also resemble undersea mines) and whats interesting to me about those guys, is that weezing gets created when 2 koffing vibe next to each other. once again, we see a potential experiment in creating new life continuing to do what it was designed to do. i like to imagine koffing as perhaps the earliest attempt, and abandoned early in favor of the ditto method, which created grimer as a by product. after they got to mewtwo, it checked their hubris and they abandoned the place, which allowed the grimer and koffing to continue aimlessly evolving into muk and weezing. the test dogs they had got let lose and, as they are territorial, defend the mansion. i dont really have a great concept for magmar, but i mean look at that little freak. its the only 2 legs, 2 arms, a head human shaped thing. id be willing to guess its potentially an artifical pokemon meant to have a similar body plan to mew, which also is bipedal, has two arms, and a head. magmar is potentially a stepping stone inbetween ditto and mewtwo proper, since there is no "distilled", or failed verion of magmar. magmar is a failure in the sense that it isnt mewtwo, but its a very stable pokemon that even has potential to become stronger with a magmarizer (i think thats what its called)
