I find it touching how one person's efforts to raise the numbers of wild Lapras were acknowledged

Jinx's controversial design came of a lack of cultural knowledge from both sides, U.S consumers not knowing what Yama Uba was and Japanese developers not knowing what blackface was.

I like to think that the first beta form of the legendary dogs are what they actually looked like before Ho oh revived them

When Leech Life's power was changed from 20 to 80, some Pokemon's move sets change as well. Instead of Leech Life, that slot was changed to Absorb, at least with zubat

When it comes to the pre-Physical/Special split times, there's a good rule of thumb to remember what types are which, in that the types of every Eeveelution [including Leafeon and Glaceon, even if those didn't exist pre-split] + Dragon are all Special, while everything else is Physical

51: Flygon was originally going to get a mega evolution, this was changed due to them not being able to come up with a good design.

Gastrodon being intended for gen 3 makes a lot of sense. Lots of gen 3 pokemon come in pairs. Ninjask/shedinja, dustox/beautifly, lunatone/solrock, plusle/minun. Probably had to do with double battles being introduced I would imagine.

One change I always found interesting is that stun spore and sleep powder no longer affect grass types. I believe this was added one gen after electric types became immune to paralysis

In response to these… - Flareon is an example of Pokemon with a Pokémon whose movepool doesn’t fit its attacking stats. Entei was an example of this until it slowly got more options. - Raichu should have gotten the boost with the Light Ball IMO since it’s the evolved form, not only Pikachu. - Chandelure’s HA was never released, similar to Serperior’s HA and the Legendary Beasts (Water Absorb, Volt Absorb and Flash Fire). Could have changed the meta in Gen 5. - I didn’t like how Darkrai got a nerf with the accuracy of Dark Void. It only being exclusive to it was reasonable but still… Good that PLA returned the original accuracy though. - Crits in Gen 1 being dominant made Razor Leaf, a rather weak looking move, be pretty strong. - Speaking of different designs, some Pokémon used to have different number of digits. Ursaring and Mr. Mime used to have 4 fingers in earlier sprites/artwork. - Tracey is pretty hated from what I heard, as it felt forced for him to be in the anime. - GS being the original last games make sense due to how the story was structured.

You should do pokemon that deserve an evolution, and you demonstrate some possible ideas ! Some pokemon deserve an evolution. You can also do Pokémon that deserve a pre-evo. (Ex, Girafarig)

The guy who breeded lapras and released in the wild is a LEGEND!

Start of the video: 50 BIGGEST changes in Pokemon Video: Will-O-Wisp's accuracy was changed from 75 to 85

I thought you would say for one of them, “Flygon was originally planned to have a Mega Evolution, but then this changed due to artist’s block, apparently, which is ridiculous. Still not letting this one go until it happens.”

Charizard was actually pretty decent in Gens 2 and 3 OU, and has gotten even better in Gen 3 OU in recent years, firmly becoming an OU-tier Pokemon in ADV.

That Lapras fact is adorable, I love that.

The weird thing about Koffing's sprite is that in the original Red/Green versions it had the skull symbol below the face, but in the Japanese Blue version (which is the basis of the internationally released Red/Blue versions) the sprite was changed to have the symbol above the face. All Pokémon sprites received an update in Blue, but these updates were usually intended to bring them more in line with their appearance in promotional art and the anime, so Koffing's sprite being changed to make it look less like every other depiction of it is very strange.

Actually, all games were intended to be the last from gen 1-5, it was only 6 onwards where they realized the franchise simply would not end This is why gen3 remade the original games to be a definitive experience Why gen4 let a lot of old mons evolve to fill our the dex Why gen5 was a soft reboot of the franchise

Swadloon ranking high in that poll makes sense since its meant to be like a hikkikomori, so a lot of Japanese fans would find it relatable. The others seem basically random though.

chandelure never actually got shadow tag in gen 5 so it was never a scary threat specifically for shadow tag it only had the hidden ability but was never released

Way to go Diego DeAlvarado! He's literally was one of the very few people Gamefreak gave attention to!

Wow, that was a super interesting video and featured quite a bit of info I didn't know! I'm also glad that you specified *why* the various changes were made, because a (very) casual Pokémon fan like me wouldn't have any idea! What do you think were the best/worst changes in your list?

Lol I remember using Centiskorch (sorry if it’s spelled wrong) and being super surprised how strong Leech Life was, I was confused if it was changed or if it was always op and just never noticed

I think the lines on Dratini's belly were supposed to be like the belly scutes of a snake.

Legend returns

I can't wrap my head around how the inclusion of a slot machine where you don't use REAL money somehow boosts the rating up almost 10 years. If there was actual real world currency then I could see that but there isn't. And why take them out entirely? Game Corner is the perfect place to put old minigames as an arcade! Take the stuff from Stadium and Pokémon Mini and put them in there as arcade games. It can be a way to fix the busted friendship mechanic, giving you a chance to bond with your team by using them in the games.

Speaking of Decidueye considered for Smash Ultimate, Delphox was also Considered for Smash 4 until Greninja was ultimately chosen~

Fun fact tangela’s normal sprite in gen 2 was green instead of blue and it’s shiny was even more green so basically every gen 2 tangela is shiny

I didn't know of moves so I spammed regular attack in mystery dungeon. Then I found loves, then I became sso overleveled that ai again spammed the regular attack XD

I didn’t know some of these so thanks for making a good video Alex 🙂

13:15 "He had a miraculous *change of heart."* So, _~He never saw it coming?~_

Gengar had levitate for 3 generations not 6, since gen 1 and 2 did not have abilities. Also arceus is still pronounced that way in Japanese and the rks system in the ar system in Japan to, so that's more official to me.

Good to see you back again man, always love your videos!!!

Focus energy actually had some niche use in gen1, as crits ignored all stat changes. Focus energy could be used to make sure you wouldn't crit, as a boosted regular hit could be superior to a crit

Every day i watch your videos,and now you put a new one:D yay

Interesting video! I like hearing about obscure facts like this! Thanks for uploading!

I just found your channel about a week ago and man I gotta say you moved up the list to probably my favorite PokeTuber homie. I love this kind of content and I can't stop watching your videos haha. Especially your content from years ago. I'm glad you're still making content too. Thumbs up homie

Good thing these changes happened

That was some cool stuff bro

In theory Gen 1 Focus Energy could have a use, if you were ever in a scenario where you don't want Crits. As Crits ignore all stat changes, there are times when your Crits would be worse than regular hits.

One change i never see being commented is a piece of dialogue from Mars in BDSP Originally when you fought her at lake Verity she said "what is this, a lovey dovey couple to the rescue ?, not a chance! not even a tiny one!". But it was changed and I don't understand why

Yes the best poketuber has returned.

39) in the pokemon manga it makes references to machamp losing his belt when evolving though

We welcome you back goat 🐐🫶🏼

Fact 51: Alex is now serious

I’m so conditioned to receiving joke videos from you it took 4 minutes before I accepted it was serious XD

Now though mega garchomp is actually quite good in the mat dex format due to it getting scale shot. Hence the speed issue is fixed and you can make use of the higher attack and bulk mega chomp provides. Even special moves are viable since it has 120 special attack. Some may say life orb chomp outdamages its mega which is true but regular chomp usually prefers other items like leftovers anyways. Also life orb chips adds up which is cruicial considering nat dex has a lot of priority. Not saying any form is better than the other but the point is mega chomp isnt strictly outclassed by regular chomp anymore.

Woah a serious video here & not another troll video? Let's go! 🤣 I actually miss those types of video from you I don't quite understand why people hate freeze so much lol it's annoying yes like sleep but is it so bad that you'll consider it the worst status condition? How about sleep? Is it so annoying?

This was so awesome

He's not dead!

One of the things that I liked doing in the Gen 1 games was the toxic leech seed combination

Let's goo!!! Another video...

Nice to see this is not a joke video. Good job.

I wonder if Combusken's shiny was changed because of the Max Lair to make it more noticeable? People can easily skip over it's shiny on the summery if they kept it's old shiny

Raikou in the thumbnail looks like Super saiyan Houndoom

When the world needed him most he reapered

Impressive, very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's Pokémon Change.

I thought it was gonna be another meme vid but it was a informative one which is nice.

Loved the Lapras part, I salute

Honestly Diego was so wholesome that even Pokémon considers what he did as gamish canon

glad to see a serious video for once lol.

Subliminal message at 13:06 Kadabra is flipping us the middle finger.

This is the content I subscribed to!

That water shuriken thing is weird because accelgor isn't water type

Getting rid of the regular attack in PMD dx is one of the worst changes.

i loved this video ^_^ aura guardian seriously one of the best poketubers

13:40 Okay, this is legit cute af lmao. GameFreak knows

New editor?

Video idea: 50 pointless moves abilities and items for pokémon scarlet and violet

I can't handle this background music loop

He’s baaaaack

"hey what's your favorite Pokemon!" "Oh you know just *swadloon* "

Well actually, you made a "mistake" Chandelure never had Shadow Tag. It was it's hidden ability in the dream world but there was no way to actually get it because they never made an event with it. In the dream world tier on Pokemon showdown, Pokemons that were yet not released with their hidden abilities could use them to see how powerful they would be. Chandelure was broken and quickly got banned. Also, not related but the differences in Japan are probably related to how mainstream pokemon is there, and those cute Pokemons would definitely attract people. Plus there are surely a ton of plushies of them.

I remember playing Pokemon Y thinking the physical/special were like the older games. And I just ended up having a really bad run. Even having a Haxorus with Hyper beam 😂

Raikou from beta to official design is like the goth high school kid that grew up into a chilled father

Nice video

That Diego, what a legend

13:28. I respect him. ( shreads a single tear )

"Arceus" was never changed. Its Japanese name matches its English name, that being "アルセウス" which in romaji is "Aruseusu" Note the S sound.

Eveything you said about gen 1, I remember, in some cases, painfully clear. Wrap was hell...and Persian with Slash, it did help me once through the Elite Four with how broken it was, in none of my playthroughs did I see it not be a critical hit. It was a very unbalanced game, full of flaws. But the worldbuilding around it was so good that it has stood the test of time for nearly 30 years. And I´m grateful for it, now I get to play Pokemon with my niece and she actually thinks Im cool :D

I was literally just playing platinum wondering why the opponent's feint wasn't working lol.

Dratini's stripes made it more like its final evolution. Makes me wish they had kept them.

Chandelure had shadow tag coded into gen 5, but you couldn’t get it, as it was never officially released

I just found out today that Raikou, Enter, Suicune had their hidden abilities changed. Used to be the same as the first three Eevee evolutions, then all changed to... Inner Focus?

3 minutes thats the fastest i came here after a video was posted

Yeahhh leggooooo

6:10 with subtitles. So weird.

4:19 Raikou prototype looks much cooler than what we got

The potion split always confused me cause I would go back and forth between the older and newer generations so I wouldn't completely notice but I'd think I'd Mandela'd the entire 120/200 thing

Shoutouts to Buzzwole for being in the top of the polls for literally no reason. My man

you back

Thank you Aron for buffing will o wisp.

KZfaq: 5 interesting pokemon weakness Me: Yep

5:19 hey! swadloon it's cool

Changing Jynx’s skin colour was unneeded. Making a black character in a game is just the opposite of racism.

when he was saying did you know i got an add then he talked about chandelure

Heck yeah, Swadloon hype

elgyem and beheeyem learning steel wing could be a reference to ufo’s?

2:35 Nope, shadow tag chandelure wasnever officially realesed, so it never had a chance to use it in smogon standard play, but in gen 5 a "dream world" tier existed where every pokemon could use their hidden ability from the dream world and there I'm pretty sure chancelure was banned or something

I never thought Kadabra crads would be paying for my college tuition

I still think Kakuna has arms instead of a tie. It just keeps them close to the chest.
