every fresh faced frankie would be able to root around in the dirt and find a "macho brace" or "super leftovers" or whatever. it takes a real person of outstanding character to find a shiny sploink and that's just what i've done

I remember as a kid when I would look up how to find leftovers, it would only say its where snorlax was, but never mentioned to use an item finder to get it. I kid you not, I mashed A all over that area for hours until i was convinced the guide trolled me.

I had no idea of the item in Ho-oh's place!

I remember discovering this years ago by accident when I decided to see what would happen if I used the itemfinder on that single land tile in the lake on Two Island.

But remember, the Azure Flute was too complicated

Knew about the Sacred Ash one but not the hidden Gym items instead. Very cool to learn this after so many years, great video! Wonder who first discovered the items in gym one, as it never crossed my mind to actually use the Item Finder inside actual buildings too lol

The gen 3 games had so much more heart than people will admit, and I’m voicing it for those who don’t

I remember finding the Macho Brace, the Leftovers, and PP Max as a kid. Never once did I find the Soothe Bell, never mind the Sacred Ash, I didn't even see Ho-oh (although assuming that was an event, no surprise there)

When I was a kid I remember finding a couple of these because I was obsessed with the idea of hidden items everywhere but didn't know why some had stars pop up. Cool!

leftovers being under snorlax is hidden knowledge you were just born with in the 90's

That PP max was goated but also fairly obvious as one square. The Giovanni and soothe Bell are cool I didn't know that and have played those games endless amounts

I'm proud to have known all of these, I always loved using the itemfinder as a kid and digging up cool items

HG/SS's Item Finder was such a good tool that sadly never made it to another game.

I was aware of nost of these like leftovers and macho brace, but didn't know about that PP Max. literally would have never thought to look there

I used to go through the old games and use itemfinder on every screen. In GSC, I had it registered to select. I was afraid I would miss something and wanted to have the I 100% completed the game feeling.

Back in my day we didn't have all these little sparkles to help find hidden items. We checked every individual square by hand!

Gen 5's itemfinder is my favorite so far, very nice interface

In HGSS, there's a hidden item (hyper potion I think?) underneath a public item on one of the early little islands between Olivine City and the Whirl Islands. Just always something that stuck out to me

I FUCKING LOVE LEFTOVERS RAAAGHHH

Lol, I remember this! Imagine if this exists in S/V and all items were hidden! 😂

Can't believe FireRed was my first ever handheld game in 2010 and I just learned about these secret items through the video. Leftovers would have been so helpful for my dozens of playthroughs!!

I just learned there is an Elixir there on that Bills House route. Would have helped me and many challenge runs for others 👍

I remember how the soothe Bell was hidden in a very weird way

Oh so one of them is locked behind an event that has been around for almost 2 decades

thats why i love today all the secrets we never able to dowload all the guides and all the pokemon rom or not free or not

If only Ursaluna did this in legends arceus, that would actually make them worth something outside of competitiveness.

I didn't know about these items, but I wasn't concentrating much on thhe video because I was too busy jamming to Pokemon Battle Revolution music. Like damn, that brings me back. That announcer's voice lives in my head forever.

One of the first game play things I didn't know about gen 4 back I've learned that's super useful. Crazy.

That Giovanni bit was news to me. Never thought to go back

In the original Pokemon Blue there is a hidden rare candy in one of the marts. I had used all of my rare candies before I heard about the Missing no glitch, I randomly found it one day. I cant find it mentioned in online guides.

Dang I didn't know that you could find those things with the item finder. It helped keep me from being broke fish out of water in the earlier games before the modern game updates like shared experience and frequently finding items on the ground in plain sight were a thing.

Dat BATTLE REVOLUTION music dog

I just discovered your channel bro and I love your content

I knew all of these along with every hidden item in the game. (I love this game way too much.)

I remember when I first got an item finder in Diamond and not understanding how it worked.. I knew I was the center but didn't think to step one tile away from the item to pick it up.. I was always standing on top of items and just eventually gave up and assumed it was a stupid feature.. I only learned how they actually worked in Gen 6 and then went back.. it took a bit longer to realize the items still existed without the finder though.. Ironically this old version of it would have worked better for kid me lol since I stood on items.. but glad that it wasn't kept nowadays

I knew about them all... I've... played Fire Red and Leaf Green way too frickin' much as a kid. XD

This short truly show how much i spents im FR/LG, i got them all (tho the ashes in emu)

Is this Pokémon Battle Revolution music??? The ost has such a specific nostalgia

FRLG make me so nostalgic! I still fondly remember turning those Games Off to Play Emerald :p

Easy like for the Battle Revolution music 👍🏻

When I was growing up, the internet was still in its infancy, so my siblings and I didn't even know how to get these hidden items or that they even existed.

As someone who has this as my first mainline game, I was pretty stoked when James used it in the anime for some reason. XD

Gyarados's red scale paved the road for it.

There are also a bunch of hidden items in FRLG that are "ephemeral" and randomly despawn and respawn from the map (including after you pick them up, i.e. they replenish). This is why sometimes a guide might say there should be an item somewhere, but in your game it's not there

dowsing thingamajig looked so goofy in oras

My favourite was diamond and pearls because moving in that game was blocky, so you could search for an item on your finder app and when you find the item you count how many steps horizontal and vertical you need to take by counting the lines on the app but take one less step so you don’t stand on the item.

I just finished a Playthrough of LeafGreen & those Leftovers would've been nice to have!!

Only ever found the Giovanni one thought it was a one time thing

If I dig down in pokemon tower would I find a basement ful of DEAD BODYS??

Remember the days you have to press A on every corner

FR/LG are the best games the franchise ever produced and reasons like this are why. The only Pokémon game to date that truly rewards you for exploring the game. Mayybbeee B/W2 and to a lesser extent OR/AS

I have consistently across the game series walked up to hidden items and picked them up without knowing they were there beforehand simply through luck, just because I like to hit interact on anything that looks even mildly suspicious it took me until sun & moon to find out why the hell I kept picking up items from doing that

In heartgold I somehow missed that you were supposed to touch the screen, and went through a whole playthrough being really confused why there seemed to be no items around. The guides I read for the itemfinder didn't make any sense because they all assumed I knew to touch the screen lmao

This is legit, glad I clicked on this short.

HES PLAYING BATTLE REVOLUTION MUSIC OMG

I remember as a kid hours of fun of using the item finder on an island in the semi islands were it said alot of trash is swept there and I was like is that random dialogue or is they're actually items from there and I would just farm for hours they're finding pearls,nuggets, and just random items

Kids really screaming about that Sacred Ash.

always knew about the ppmax and all candy locations in frlg

Only knew about the Sacred Ash and Leftovers

You can also see hidden items and berries because there will be a little round shadow on the tile. As if there’s actually an invisible pokeball there. Every spot like that has an item the first time u check, but not every item is marked like that

The HGSS Itemfinder was the absolute best one in the series. Change my mind.

I didnt even know the item finder existed in any other games besides emerald ruby and saphire

Neat, I only knew about the Leftovers.

I found the PP Max and Macho Brace just by stumbling around and exploring as a kid with too much free time.

*sigh* time to replay Fire Red

BDSP: Hey did you thought Pokemon GSC's item finder was bad?? Let me show you something

Damn, I played leaf green so much and now I know I never completed it lol

Wow, I never would look underneath an npc. I wish I registered the Item Finder instead of the bike.

anyone noticed the pokemon battle revolution music playing in the back

I remember the Giovanni one

I either never got one, or knew how to even use one in pokemon X and Y and I did that hotel item finding job so many times, I thought it was supposed to be long and tedious, clicking to check a spot walk 1 block forward click again and so on

i knew about the leftovers and soothe bell (although i could've sworn you could find that one without the item finder) but had no idea about the other 3, that's cool

Someone gotta put this on the "things you didn't know about": fire red ,leaf green

The item finder is a really good item!

I loved HGSS Dowsing Machine, it was miles better than what the PokeApp provided me in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum

Pokemon wii battle game music

So the guide saying where you catch Ho-oh is the same place you get the Navel Rock, isn't lying!

Technically 6 items since there are 2 leftovers 1 underneath each snorlax. I didn’t know about the sacred ash being one though!

If you go to Snorlax's other former location (Route 12), you'll find a second piece of Leftovers ^^

I think I got all of them without the use of the item finder. After you get over the play time limit you try to do things. I have slight doubts I had the leftovers, not 100% sure I had it. But otherwise i got every other one without the item finder.

Yo I had no idea coz I would just memorize where the hidden items were after several play throughs. So I never bothered using it. Thanks for the info though.

soothe bell could be useful if Golbat could evolve before national dex

huh, I only knew of the leftovers and the pp max, I didn't know the soothe bell and the macho brace where there all this time.

How did the expect kids to find this out 15 years ago???? 🤣

There are items like this in the original Blue and Red too

Wow I gotta replay now

Honestly the only one I knew about was the Leftovers.

God damn I only knew about the PP Max and Leftovers wtf

I believe this came from red and blue, where there was an item in the 8th gym as well under Giovanni. Though I believe that one wasn't a very special item. Could be wrong though, it has been a good few years since I played yellow or red

I've never used an item finder and I've beaten those games tons of times. I never catch more than like 5 Pokémon every run so I never have enough in my Pokédex to get any of the items from the professor

Thanks that nerd in two island told me that "discerning trainers buy rare items" after I dug up a PP Max lmao what a consoomer, I got three for free and I only dug them out under the ground.

I only knew of the PP Max

okay time to start anew leaf green

Man the soothe bell and the macho brace are way too niche to be confusing to get. Like the leftovers are something you can actually use to help you beat the game. By time you can get either of those items your ev and friendship is already max. There's also no battle frontier to need perfect stats for anyway

Bruh had no idea..

I hope they bring in FR&LG on GBA Nintendo switch.

I seriously have to go back and complete the game

I love the item finder from xy

i dont think chugga even talked about this

It's cool and all, but I don't want to have to constantly use the item finder, just to be able to find these items. Especially since you can only have 1 key item assigned to a button to easily use it. Better would be if it automatically activated somehow and showed you a small arrow somewhere maybe.
