>>28584641
Is this true?

I'd love to try this out but I've lost my B2 cart.
Another thing is that you can obtain Mew in R/B/Y before fighting Misty.

it's true, just checked Bulbapedo

mew is under the truck in vermilion city, which is third town you visit while misty is in second

If you present genesect to one of the scientists in the fossil lab in X and Y he'll give you genesect's drives. He'll also tell you that genesect is rumored to come from glittering cave.

Was his wife the lady running in circles on the beach with that guy in front of the Pokemon centre. After you beat the league he's just standing on his own and says you need to make the most of every moment because you might not get another chance to or something like that.
Also those tower fights were more of a challenge than the league

>>28584641
what do you even get out of it? I'm pretty sure the guy doesn't even hear the bell

After you've done the Delta Episode in ORAS, you can find a Protean Kecleon hiding behind the astronaut picture cut-out in the Mossdeep Space Center.

If you examine the picture frame in Shelly's room, the description is about young Archie and Shelly having met and befriended Jirachi.
Magma's equivalent is just a picture in Courtney's room of Maxie.

>>28584786
No I know, I mean was she also the woman on the beach? I just got the impression she probably left the guy on the beach to marry the other guy who tells you to ring the bell

Surprisingly neat, but for what purpose? Do they even mention this in game? The moves are so specific for some of these.

>>28584641
If you take the first letter of each of their names, it spells "Jilt".

The reason they don't want you to ring the bell is because their ex dumped them the second a better chick came along.

>>28584641
I thought it was a map from a fanmade game, those trees are innatural as fuck and have retarded placements. Also can be barely named city.

Would some of the new stuff from sun and moon count? They've been surprisingly smart with naming schemes and connecting real stuff with their pokemon equivalent.

>>28584993
One of the first things I noticed. It's a neat idea, but needs to be expanded upon. Maybe you should be able to directly attack the objects themselves?

Hala uses a crabrawler on his team in the trailers because coconut crabs are found primarily with coconut and trees of the genus pandanus. The Hawaiian name for said tree is Hala.

Sophocles' name is a double reference. One to the scholar because he's an inventor. The other reference is to the endemic Hawaiian tree Sophora chrysophylla. His name is Chrys/ Chris in Italian, German, French, and Spanish confirming this.
The flowers of the tree are bright yellow, the Hawaiian name contains the word for paralysis, and the poisonous seeds of the plant are known for nearly instantly killing almost any bird that eats them. Literally super effective against flying types.
The exception is a yellow honey creeper called a Palila which has adapted to eating the seeds.
Oricorio yellow is also based on a yellow honey creeper that happens to be related to Sophocles' type specialty.

Serperior were confirmed in an interview to be based on French royalty, complete with Fleur-de-lis on their fronts.

In Kalos, the region based on France, they're on the front gates of Parfume Palace. Somebody at GF remembered that.

Does everyone talk to npc's after they've defeated them? They normally say something different to their losing dialogue. Because if you don't you miss out on a lot of info

>>28587775
Do we have an XY hack that rather than being some super hard challenge buff its just "Kalos if it made sense"? Like slight team buffs, fixing the pacing, altering encounter tables to be less dense and adding shit like the Musketeer trio?

The entralink is where you go to accept the quests after you get them from the NPCs.

There is a juggler in Gold and Silver who comments "oh no! I dropped my balls!"

In HGSS, this double-entendre is censored for a different line...UNLESS you play as the girl.

Actually a lot of it wasn't contained to wfc or had other methods of playing it like join avenue giving you NPCS daily. It was probably hit the least of the DS games in all honesty because of those measures.

Why wouldn't a predominantly ground based team train up the one of the most common water types for their grunts to use? It's more odd for aqua to be training them considering they're a water based team and nearly everyone has a carvanha they can use.

In Gen 3 games, if you press the start button during a double battle, the HP bar will change into the HP numbers.

At least put some effort into it, although rick rolling is massively outdated anyway.

The anime pronounces Arceus 4 different ways

Eevee can only evolve into Leafeon in Eterna forest and never into Espeon/Umbreon. People take it for granted as a game mechanic but if you read the sign when you first arrive it says something like "the place where time stands still". I always took it as the forest was too dense to allow the sunshine or moonrays affect Eevee. Especially with all the shadows added in Platinum.

>one cave in Kalos has ALL of the prehistoric fossils
What's so special about this cave that all of the Pokémon from the past went there to die?

>>28591738
Nah, that just has to do with evolution priority for Eevee. Location has priority over happiness.

When XY came out, Sylveon also got priority over happiness, but not over location.

So the order of priority if your Eevee meets more is than one evolution's eeds is Glaceon/Leafeon -> Sylveon -> Umbreon/Espeon.

>>28595440
A miner in Unova gives you every fossil as well.

>>28595367
Correction on my part. It's there in DPPt but not HGSS.

>>28595425
It skips the option box for faster organisation if I remember right.
So basically one tap picks it up rather than having to do it twice.

>>28595543
I realize it's just for a gameplay purpose that they let you have all the fossils, but this kind of fucks the geography. It's like there were the same kinds of Pokémon everywhere in prehistory.

>>28590549
In Ruby they didn't build the sub. They stole it fron Lillycove where they went after you beat them on the volcano. They repainted it. The wailmers were to stop you from skipping the hideout and getting the badges. The costal base was the to get to the sub to steal it.

They never had a base in the jagged pass.

>>28584993
I only noticed it ONCE ever

Also

>In gen 5, there's a percussion layer that plays when you move in a route.

You could polish your badges in DPPt.

>>28595651
Especially because the fossils are all made of region specific rock colors.

>>28595657
I never saw the point in that.

You could cut down tall grass in RSE, if a pokemon with hypercutter is first in the party it would remove additional grass.

Also in RSE, if a pokemon with lightningrod is first in the party, you will get match calls more frequently.

n one of the small houses, there's a lonely old man whose wife had passed and became quite lonely, and asks you to give him something cuddly to raise and cheer him up, he wants something under level 5.

Few in game days and when you return, he's not there, with a pokeball in the middle of the floor, with a note attached to it and your mon inside.

The note seems to imply he died, happily, but still died, and is extremely greatful towards you for giving him company in his last few days. You get a comet shard and get to take back this pokemon.

That was one of my favorite things about BW2. And that's saying a lot since I love that game. It's not something I'd expect in a Pokémon game in a million years, and both Yancy and Curtis as characters are good enough talking to them is not annoying,.

BW2 added a lot of little sidequests to do, some like the one OP mentioned that go under the radar of most people, but it's still neat. I wish the newer games did it too.

>>28601271

If you take a Diglett or Dugtrio to Pokeathalon and try to make them compete in any game that involves jumping, they'll be completely unable to jump and won't be able to win. The exception being the hurdle race, where they dig under the hurdles instead of jumping over them.

Also Sunkern is one of the only Pokemon who's able to max out every Pokeathalon stat.

The Digglett thing is genius. The fact they actually took the time to implement that instead of just making digglet unable to enter the competition speaks volumes about the attention to detail HGSS had.

No idea, Wikipedia says there's 2 ways to pronounce/spell it.

>>28600671
this is wrong but actually in gen i every time you raised a specific stat, the badge bonus (remember how badges used to boost stats?) for your other stats re-multiplied.

so if you had all the badges and used growth three times, your SPE would be +3 (x2.5) times the badge multiplier of 1.125, for x2.81.
Your other stats, assuming they hadn't been modified by you or your opponent, would have the badge modifier apply three times on top of the original level, for a total of ~x1.5 (with some fun rounding errors). the badge bonus will stack until the stat is directly modified.

The same thing applies to the paralysis speed drop and the burn attack drop; so long as the speed/attack aren't directly modified, they'll quarter/halve every time your other stats change.

Not so much an easter egg as just shitty programming, but still interesting.

Also in Gen I, pokémon cannot be statused by a damaging move of the same type as them. this was to prevent fire types getting burned, but it extends to body slam and paralysis (and others) as well.

>>28601699
mew, ditto, arceus, and giratina can also all have max performance, but the sunkern thing is really cute.

>>28598051
I gave him my pokémon after E4 and he still died

>>28603819
did you fight the E4 again after giving him a pokemon?

They always do thing like that for digglet though.

>>28584641
I remember doing this, kinda makes me wanna play Black 2 again

>>28584829

>>28603572
I loved that little tidbit. Sunkern was my bro in Pokeathalon.

In Black and White, if you have a full party and PC before fighting Reshiram/Zekrom, the fight is skipped and you can go catch them at Dragonspiral Tower later. If you're in the same situation before Xerneas/Yveltal or Rayquaza in ORAS, the game creates an extra box so you can catch it.

I really love these threads. Ive been playing pokemon for pretty much my whole life, played trough every game multiple times and i still find neat little detaills in this thread that i never noticed.

You faggots also kinda want to make me play trough bw/bw2 again

>>28591899

There's a hidden area in Castelia City where you can catch wild Eevee.

There's another hidden area where you some punk kids battle you, similar to >>28590489

Not many people seem to know about these.

Also in B2/W2, Sabrina is a recurring actress in PokéStar Studios. I also highly recommend you all go back and play those. Use the Bulbapedia Guide to get through it if you must. Just go experience it. You get tons of items, a "shiny sparkle" for your Pokemon, and there are TONS of neat details and shit in there.

At the risk of summoning Richard and his autism; there's an NPC in B2/W2 that says Lt. Surge is "Unovan". This is a nod to the fact that he was originally introduced as "American", but the USA has since been used as the inspiration for the Unova Region in the Pokémon World.

Oh, and lastly, B2/W2 has a reference to the Kalos PokéBall Factory. They don't mention Kalos by name obviously, just "PokéBalls are produced in a factory in a nearby Region" or whatever. Considering B2/W2 and X/Y were produced alongside each other, I doubt this was a coincidence.

Apparently in the Japanese version of BW, Ghetsis insulted Alder for being assigned the title of Champion without actually earning it.

Or at least that's what was in the fan translation that came out before the official English release.

>>28588072
I check every game to see if they've brought it back.
They never have.

>>28606459
Ghetsis's dialogue was almost completely rewritten in the english version. The dialogue is mostly bad but Ghetsis's lines were okay, although they ended up completely different. I have the English BW1 but I must've played the Japanese one at some point.

I remember I was so annoyed by what they had done with the translation as a whole, I never bought an English Pokemon game after that again.

Don't remember that particular part but much of the dialogue was completely different so yeah.

>>28606683
The bug carried over to gen 2, faggot. You can poison Steel types with Twinneedle.

>>28607504
Are you being completely genuine, or is this just a weeaboo thing?

Because I have seen a dozen times, people insisting a Japanese version of something is magically way better, and then I see for myself, and it's not better at all. I am convinced weeaboos just have a mental filter that hides flaws in anything Japanese, while magnifying flaws in English versions.

But if you have some legitimate examples of where the English version pales in comparison, I would like to know.

Because of the shitty type designs in gen 1. All rock types except Aerodactyl were also ground type which is immune to electric.

Most of the grass types were also poison too, which made them all weak to ground moves.

>>28607761

Neutral, but yeah it made things pretty confusing as a kid

>>28607761
>But if you have some legitimate examples of where the English version pales in comparison, I would like to know.

Tons, but it's more a matter of the English version sucking than the Japanese version being spectacular. They used the same people for the anime dub to translate BW while everything prior was done by some in house team.

> Bronius: "Those who left Team Plasma and are behaving with respect and understanding toward Pokémon... Them, please forgive! However, those who won't interact with Pokémon in a kind and honest way... Even I will never forgive them!"

Just read this garbage and tell me it's a good translation. Ghetsis is actually one of the better parts of the games English dialogue, but his dialogue is notably different, like they rewrote it, so it's less authentic.

Y'know, I see this sentiment a lot. And not to judge you or lump you in with other people or anything, but I don't like how an entire generation of gamers were raised to expect rewards for everything. Look at Call of Duty with the trillion medals, and prestiges and shit. Or shit like Achievements.

I feel like I am part of the minority that gets complete satisfaction from the experience of neat little sidequests like that, without expecting big rewards from it. You beat 5 NPC's, and rang a bell. What more could you possibly ask for, other than some fun dialogue, and the satisfaction of completing this mini event? MAYBE a Rare Candy instead of a Revive, because B2/W2 are the easiest games to get money in, so Revive isn't worth much. But ehh.

>>28606264
I can confirm this

>>28608420

Video games have always been about risk vs reward, anon. He should at least give you a TM or something.

>>28606470
I didn't realize it until I encountered Sudowoodo in Gen 2

>>28608535
Having a TM as a prize would make it more of a quest than a side quest. TMs are big deals.

>>28608703

It would still be a sidequest and you know it bubster

>>28605990
And in Spanish. Lunes -> Luna

>>28608765
If there was a TM at the end, the goal would just be the TM. This sidequest is purely to entertain the player instead of dangling a prize on the end of a stick. There's a difference in how the player is supposed to feel.

>>28608420
This. The quest itself is the reward. And I don't mean it in a shitty philosophical way. It's just that it's a fun thing to do. You meet a couple, they ask you to ring a bell, you go there, surprise! His ex-girlfriends are there! You get some fun type specialist fights and that's it. Having a good reward to every little thing would cheapen the experience.

>>28605384

>>28606449
>B2/W2 has a reference to the Kalos PokéBall Factory
Where is that NPC?

Some Pokédex entries mention areas that are dangerous for a person to touch, like Espurr's ears that restrain its extremely powerful psychic powers, or Honedge's tassel, which punishes people trying to use it as a weapon by draining their energy. In Pokémon-amie, these Pokémon won't like it if you touch them there...if they like you. If your friendship with them is low, they won't shy away from letting you touch these extremely dangerous things.

>>28610891
Like when you touch Gardevoir's tits

>>28608420
Thing is anon, it's only been recently that side quests have had more of a story reward than a useful one. In earlier games you would get a rare or powerful weapon, summon or skill.
