That 24 hour transfer cool down from Sapphire/Fire Red to Pearl was always brutal lol

So apparently Pokémon scarlet is about 6GB even with new textures. Modern games can easily take over 20, so how hard would it be to keep all the old mons in new games? It shouldn’t be too much effort if they’re just reused models and animations from the previous games.

Oh this glitch, it's absolutely awesome, but I always thought if you knew what you were doing you could get a level 1 Mew. Pair that with the item/experience underflow glitch and then repeat for a team consisting of a LVL 100 Nidoking and LVL 100 Mew. I mean if some kid walked into my gym and sent either of those out I'd just surrender and hand over the badge without a fight. I know when I'm done for

I was today year's old when I found out about Soft-Boiled.

i like this channel

Very good video! fun to see someone explain the math behind it

All I'll say is I will continue to refuse to play any pokemon game without every pokemon in it. This unfortunatly means that all of my pokemon since FireRed are still back in UltraMoon.

The main problem that I have with HMs that compared to other turn-based RPGs is due to Pokémon being very restrictive with the number of moves Pokémon can have usable at any given time has been 4 since generation 1. So, in order to traverse places you must permanently, unless you go to a Move Deleter, sacrifice one or more of your Pokémon's available moves that you cannot change out with newer moves to give them certain roles. Unless it is a very viable move, I will have one or two Pokémon be designated to learn HMs exclusively for traversal purposes. I was even confused why it was designed this way as a kid. I always thought it would make more sense that when you defeat a gym leader said gym leader would "teach" you how to teach your Pokémon to do certain things outside of combat that applies to certain Pokémon and you just need to find out which Pokémon knows which one or ones. No. Instead, as I kid, I wondered how do I get passed X thing, made the deduction that I need to defeat the gym leader first to get access to a certain HM to use, beat the gym leader and they hand me moves that I never end up teaching to any of my Pokémon, frantically waste an hour trying to figure out where I find the HM sometimes, learn that Pokémon taught an HM cannot have the move removed/overwritten except by a specific NPC, and lastly finding Pokémon that I don't care about to learn HMs. Now that I am older, as a risk versus reward unintentionally designed in Gen 6 and prior. Do you take as many Pokémon with you that know HMs so that you can easily traverse without backtracking but limit the number of battle-ready Pokémon you can bring with you? Or, do you bring only certain ones (like Surf) and risk having to go back to a Pokémon Center to switch out your party. I just think it's neat.

Here's my two cents on the matter. Why not make the next core series titles a ROM hack of Scarlet and Violet? That way they would only need to update the 280+ pokemon not in Scarlet and Violet, as the remaining 800+ would already be programed into the game, with no effort required.

You can also walk into a pokemon center and switch pokemon boxes, then reset to unlock your controls (and make the game think you aren't in a battle).

- oh wait half of the dex are normal, water and flying what do we do now? - I have this idea called cut, fly, strenght, flash, surf, waterfall, dive

FireRed & LeafGreen were when HMs were at their peak you were expected to carry 6 of them at all times & waterfall if you ever wanted to go to the 4 Island Cave or take a shortcut on 2 Island. Heart Gold & Soul Silver could have been cruel & had Defog stay as HM05 with Whirlpool being HM09 thankfully there will never be an official game with more than 8 of them. Still I'm curious how a Foggy Red Battle would have been. 1 of the coolest thing about HMs being learned is you could get to some cool places early. SS Anne is a place you don''t need to make depart if you trade to get a Pokemon with Cut. Likewise I remember getting a traded Oshawott with Surf in Gen 5 near the start of the game which was cool as well.

While I really like generation 9, I do think dexit continues the hurt the series going forward. I refused to buy gen 8 and have only ever played it due to a friend I share games with got it anyway. I still can’t decide whether Swsh or XY are the worst main generation games

I dont see why people consider putting hms on a team member a burden, like i thought the main story's difficulty was biult with the idea youll have hms spread out over your team. Like useing pokemon red my avrage team and movesets look like this: Venusaur Cut Toxic Razor leaf Leech seed Raichu Thunderbolt Body slam Flash Thunder wave Snorlax Fire blast Surf Rest Amisia Mew Fly Transform Strength Metronome Dugtrio Dig Earthquake Slash Double team Clefable Pay day Softboild Ice beam Sing Like i imagen the qvrage storyline team was supposed to look like this. So i dont get why people act like spreading hms axross your team happens to be so bad.

What if Gens 4-8 came out between 2004-2016? With Gen 4 on GBA. Gens 5-6 on DS. And Gens 7-8 on 3DS. And the series ended in 2016 on its 20th Anniversary? How'd the games and their qualities have looked like? How well would they've been recieved?

I don't see why as long as some Pokemon online service exists that all older versions of that service can't continue to run. No matter what, they have to pay to keep servers on

11:10 I was once trying to get level 100 mew and i messed it up and it grew only to level 2. I know why it did that

The "Dexit" issue is not an issue. Pokemon fans just like to complain. The best part about it? We no longer need to have a full living national dex to get the shiny charm, we have well balanced games, we have Pokemon Home for the national dex and to be honest I've used pokemon I would normally not have thought about or given a second chance. Sure would I love to use my favs but at the end of the day the cutting of the national dex in every game has not caused any issue for me what so ever.

I will never buy another mainline Pokémon game again until they bring back all of the pokemon and fix the galar fossils, they’re the highest grossing media franchise yet their games look like crap, are rushed and broken with overpriced dlcs. I have no idea why people are willing to defend incomplete products and less content.

Can you use the same trainer for for multiplayer glitch in the same game?

You missed two, Defog in DPPt and Rock Climb in HGSS.

Hms basically gave gameplay limitations where there shouldnt be any. You can have a team of 6 pokemon with 4 moves each only you need to replace 5-8 of those 24 moveslots with a basically useless move (few notible exceptions). OR you have a team of 4 with 2 hm slaves. And you cant just quickly deal with some obstacles and forget them for better moves later down the line unless you go to the move relearner (which didnt even exist in gen 1). Also that only works for some of the HMs since depending on the game youll need a good chunk of em throughout the entire experience. There were so many easy fixes but as it stood for over 15 years (just mind boggling) it was a MASSIVE gameplay flaw

I like transferring pokemon

Read the title as non-field HM moves and I was a lot more interested

I will never understand why they didn't just make HM moves innate abilities. Take Scyther for example: once you unlock the badge that lets you use Cut, Scyther can just always Cut outside of battle. You can use the HM on it if you want him to use Cut in battle, but otherwise it's just an ability of that Pokemon. Once you unlock the badge for Fly, either Scyther could innately use both outside of battle, or restrict each Pokemon to a single HM move that fits it best. When they introduced natures and abilities, I was convinced this was the next logical step that just never came.

You can also get Nidoqueen, Parasect, Dragonite, Arcanine, Scyther, Elecabuzz, Growlithe, Chansey, Missingno, Blastoise, Gengar, and others. Some are repeats.

If you use growl on the trainer pokemon, then mew will be a lower level.

It's worth noting that Dig had a partial repurpose in generation 3, being required to access to Sealed Chamber where the Regis legendary event can be triggered. It's the only time the field move's functionality changes, and it only occurs on one specific tile inside the cave.

I think they take 4-5 year before releasing gen 10, also I hope they will make another wave of dlc (I could pay another $30) so we get all 1025 pokemon in one game

Dexit was unavoidable. How they handled it was unacceptable.

Realistically if there is a Homebrew version of Poke Transporter made it will probably work 10x better than the actual official poke transporter app amd have features like picking individual Pokémon or sending more than a single box

Gotta catch some of ‘em

Gen 9 does have HMs (Herba Mystica) which made the moves only out of battle effects 😊

Dexit sucks and is a disgrace, PERIOD. It is an insult to the players and anyone who accepts it or apologizes on GF's behalf does not care about the franchise either.

If Pokemon fails in 2025, the grim reaper should come after this franchise

People REALLY need to stop blaming everything on gamefreak. The fall in quality of the games isn't because of gamefreak being "Lazy" or "Not trying hard enough;" it's because of time constraints. Each of the two teams at gamefreak only have 3 years to make a brand new game with brand new pokemon... That's it, 3 years, and a year of that is taken up by making DLC for the previous games. So it's essentially 2 years to make a brand new game. That's nowhere near enough time. Look at some Nintendo's best selling franchises on switch and look at the development times: Mario took 6 years to get a new game after Odyssey (And even then it was a different team who made the new game,) there was a 6 year gap between BotW and TotK for Zelda, a 5 year gap between splatoon 2 and 3, and hell, so many other franchises still haven't recieved a second mainline game on the switch (Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, ect.) 2 years is just simply not enough time to make a game, so lots of corners have to be cut, which has resulted in the quality of pokemon games going down. So to the "Gamefreak lazy/bad" crowd, it's not their fault, it's the fault of The Pokemon Company/Nintendo for not giving them more time or resources to work on these games. Gamefreak is doing what they can, and there's definitely some signs of good game design in the switch pokemon games, they're just all extremely rushed. (Also this comment wasn't directed towards you Azure, it's just for the people who blindly blame gamefreak without seeing the whole picture)

Nice to know that I am not the only one who thinks that Pokémon home should have a Poké-Amie feature!!

The sped-up, blurry footage hurts my eyes.

scarificing a moveslot on your main mons is also bad because that means whenever youre exploring the region or need space in your party for a different mon to evolve that usually means you gotta keep most of your team intact so it makes it really hard to go anywhere

Fun fact: we haven't had a single interview since sword and shield dropped from gamefreak what so ever. They were so traumatized by the fanbases reaction to their comments that they now refuse to talk because they know it'll just piss more people off.

The dexcut in its current form was unethical. Simply put they want to have their cake and eat it too. They could have done things like made all mythicals obtainable and not have things like version exclusive legendaries to lower the stakes of collecting but they didn't. They want your collection to have the value so you pay subscription but they don't want to put in the effort to give you the utilitarian benefit of being able to transfer pokemon you can't simply catch in game relatively quickly. If they simply opted not to make Pokémon Home: Bank users can have their sense of closure, casual fans wouldn't need to worry about transfer exclusive Pokémon and event fomo effecting more then one game, games wouldn't need to have to have similar data structures to all work with one system thus providing them with just as much freedom as other game devs. Also it's totally feasible for them to hire another studio patch in all the Pokémon into both SWSH and SV and let them battle each other. They have more than enough dough. It's just simple math.

To be honest I’m glad dexit happen. the developers are already stress enough to make a game every year

My biggest complaint is gen 3 games not being on the switch

The removal of Pokemon from the games has always been an inevitability, but I'm still not a fan of how small the number allowed is these days. 400 in a regional dex feels way too small, and you can feel some NPC teams re-use Pokémon, when XY had a 450 mon regional dex. And the final games to have all the Pokémon in them were USUM, which had 807 Pokémon in their data. Meanwhile, modern Pokémon games struggle to reach this number, even with multiple DLC additions. On top of all of that, Legends Arceus only had 242 Pokémon in the data, but nobody was upset by that because that game had fantastic storytelling and world building, innovative gameplay changes (compared to other Pokemon games at least), and took risks artistically and mechanically.

i hate dexit because i have shinies i want to bring up, for example my shiny weedle from lets go is stuck there for idk how long, its so dumb

Not only do pokemon games now mess up the whole idea of "gotta catch them all" but also look and perform crappily compared to other games on the same system. Also game freak is WAAY too big to be having such a small dev team nowadays, plus we don't need a yearly pokemon game for christ's sake

My theory they're limiting what you can catch in every game since home has a National dex it means you have to buy multiple games to complete your nationaldex so yes you can complete it just not in one game and I've been saying it since shield and sword the same thing if they add a battle mechanic in home it will solve the whole competitive argument.
