That multi-person shiny hunt sounds SO sick. That needs to happen.

Out of all the little obscure things I’ve found out about Pokémon, the voice message of confessed love will always be my favorite.

The Gen 5 intro shiny Mincchino so interesting!
The reason why that is possible is actually because GF wanted to use an animated sprite for the intro's Pokemon for the first time instead of a static picture like the gens before!
And instead programming one just for the intro, they copied the animation of a wild encounter Mincchino!
That means each Mincchino in the intro gets the shiny roll any wild encounter Mincchino would get as well.
It also rolls nature and IV's, even tho we will never know which ones since it's the Professor's one! Just thought it might interest a few as to why it's possible to be shiny in the intro.

Another great video, Phin!!

There was a massive club of people on tumblr who passed around non-shiny eggs to matching shiny ID people (it was really easy to help people find their IDs to participate as hatchers). It was insane. So many competitive eggs got passed around. This happened in the X/Y era iirc.

[monodramatic_]

another interesting thing about shinies in gen 2, the values that determined if your pokemon is shiny were the same one that determined what letter unown was. those values would become iv values later on, and the only letters you could get shiny were i and v.

[skuptex]

Actually, they didnt stop with those events that bring you to new locations in gen4, because in gen5 the victini event brought you to liberty garden

[silverplaysygo]

8:20 correction, the victini event took you to a new island in generation 5. So events that brought you to a new play ended in gen 5 not gen 4

9:09 you never heard of Shiny PID trading? That was common on X&Y when perfect IV breeding became much easier and you could hack your game PID much easier on the 3DS. A lot of people would go on trading boards when they bred a perfect pokemon that wasn't shiny and needed someone else to hatch it shiny for them.

[AquamarineVaporeon]

Unfortunately, the manaphy egg is most likely shiny locked. Gen 8 changed the egg mechanics so that trading doesn’t affect the shiny value. If you obtain an egg that would hatch shiny in sword and shield, then trade it away, it will still be shiny

I can only imagine how hard some of these must have been to find. The female starter not being shiny in gen 2 was something I had to learn the hard way spending so long hunting chikorita. I looked up videos of hunting the gen 2 starters and heard someone mention it, it became very useful when I started resetting after seeing its gender.

That Egg hunt thing could actually work with a DNS server exploit that was found a few years back. It works on Gens 4 and 5 (5 tends to be much easier to set up) and actually gives you access to old Wi-Fi events.

[marioluigi]

I've got a good fact for you, Rhydon is actually NOT the first Pokémon. That spot goes to Diglett, as one of the designers actually drew Diglett since they were a child, and just used the design for a Pokemon. That means Diglett is the first Pokemon in every literal sense

[MAP]

The Nature-Back Sprite Animation relationship is only present in Diamond and Pearl (not Platinum, not HGSS).
And it's not about the speed stat, it's about the name of the Nature (the character, personality) to put it simply.
The groups are:
Fast (1): Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Impish, Jolly, Hasty, Naive.
Normal (2): Bold, Docile, Relaxed, Lax, Serious, Rash, Calm, Sassy, Quirky.
Slow (3): Lonely, Timid, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Gentle, Careful.
And the 1-2-3/fast-normal-slow groups aren't the actual time it takes to complete the animation, but rather the "excitement level" of the animation.

Big props for making a video of pokémon facts I legitimately didn’t know. Finding fact videos with actual new information for me is the real shiny hunt.

[minejack]

7:30 the music choice had me tripping out so hard because I just came off of a Summoning Salt binge
Either way great video! Can't wait to watch the rest :)

[ElliotEel]

That manaphy hunt section gave me happy goosebumps, I cannot wait to see how it goes!
Crossing my fingers that it behaves the same way

[ZimoNitrome]

These videos are epic. Actually obscure facts.

[shyshadow]

The natures in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum effecting the speed of how fast the pokeball is thrown out makes me wonder how it effects speed running. While it is a minor difference that can add up overtime and can maybe effect overall time in a glitchless run. It makes me wonder how many of the top runners for these games had +Speed natures for their main Pokémon

[hawktalon]

7:37 Hey, how cool to see this mentioned. For the longest time I thought I was the only person who remembered the Secret Egg event existed; I still have my little Haxorus buddy and the Wonder Card to go with him. :) I was very early in the game at that point, so I was super excited to get an Axew!

[Pokeman]

“Especially after they did away with event Pokémon that took you to whole new locations after Gen 4”
Did you forget Liberty Garden with Victini in Black and White? But I totally agree, I really hope they bring it back with new games, and I’m glad they have done the Shaymin event in BDSP
