    My favorite Easter egg is in FRLG, where there’s one Team Rocket member who, upon triggering a battle, will ask the player if they’re Giovanni’s kid. After being defeated, they say “no, Giovanni’s kid has red hair.” which is foreshadowing the event in HGSS where it’s revealed that Silver is Giovanni’s son

    Something interesting is that the Galarian Mr. Mime called Marcel that you can see in Wyndon in the SwSh games is a reference to the first pokemon games where you can trade an Abra for a Mr. Mime that is also called Marcel. The name Marcel isn´t just a random name either, it´s also a reference to the legendary french mime Marcel Marceau.
    Also, if you go to Spikemuth, one of the posters in the walls is a reference to Misty.
    By the way not exactly an easter but still really cool. In legends arceus: Cogita (her name is latin for "I know"), Volo (his name is latin for "I want") and Cynthia (her name comes from the latin word Sentia, which means "I feel"). So basically: knowledge, willpower and emotion like the three lake guardians.

    • @BJGvideos
      @BJGvideos Před rokem +9

      I kinda feel like they worked backwards for that, and it also only works in languages where her name IS Cynthia, since that isn't always her name. In Japanese she's Shirona, for instance, which involves shiro, white, to contract with Akagi (Cyrus) being aka, red. The name Cynthia is associated with the moon (via the goddess Artemis if I remember right) to contrast with Cyrus's name referring to the sun.
      The usual translation of cogito is "I think", as in "cogito, ergo sum" "I think, therefore I am"

Said ball would look indistinguishable from a normal pokeball, but unknown to the player, it would be hardcoded ingame to become an automatic catch if it were to ever be used on a Mew.

    One of my favorite little details is that the Ultra Beasts, with the exception of Poipole/Naganadel, have statlines built entirely out of prime numbers, in combinations so their BST will add up to another prime number, and will only learn moves by level-up at prime-numbered levels and 1. It's just so tremendously interesting as a small detail, and is likely there to make the UBs seem more foreign.
    More a piece of trivia than an Easter Egg, really. Same with the not-so-fun fact that there are only two pseudo-Legendary Pokémon that were not on the team of either a Champion or Elite 4 member during their debut generation; Tyranitar and Kommo-o.
    Given the Type specialties of the various major Trainers in Gen 1, an Ice/Psychic mon could very easily steamroll essentially the entire game with access to Water and Electric coverage, which Jynx gets. Combine this with Dry Skin, granting it an immunity to Water attacks, and a Gen 1 remake with modern mechanics would be most easily beaten with a Jynx or Galarian Mr. Mime replacing your starter.

      Cesar Flamenco The Ice type _is_ very weak _defensively._ But it is also so strong offensively that even non-Ice mons try to run Ice coverage over many other types.
      That's why defensive Ice mons see no usage, but something like Weavile, which has barely an ability and a limited movepool, is a pretty scary threat in competitive.

The first episode featuring Cassidy, "The Breeding Center Secret", was released in Japan in 1998, while Gold and Silver were released in Japan in 1999.

The fact that I grew up playing a game which referenced an author (who is also from the town I am from, not just state) had always made this series feel a bit closer to my heart.

    I know this isn't exactly obscure but one of my favourite series easter eggs is the Sevii Islands in FireRed and LeafGreen. The main purpose of this place is to give you access to the Gen 2 Pokemon you can't get in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, Colosseum and XD, since there's no way to transfer Pokemon between Gen 2 and 3 (Yes I've seen the video, but that was a whole process). But this isn't just to complete the PokeDex, there's a story layer too. At the end of the Sevii Islands storyline is the Rocket Warehouse which contains the Team Rocket members who would go on to become the Team Rocket in the Johto games, including Archer who becomes their leader. It's such a neat detail they didn't need to add that bridges the gap between the Kanto and Johto games really nicely, and on top of all this, once you beat them, one of the Johto Legendary Beasts will roam Kanto. Then add on the Celebi event in HeartGold and SoulSilver where we learn the reason Giovanni never came to help Team Rocket at Goldenrod Radio Tower is because you, the player, went through time and space and defeated him in battle right as the Goldenrod takeover was happening, effectively changing the past without you even knowing it. What a CRAZY overarching storyline this is.

    Iwata did amazing work for Gold and Silver. Originally gen 2 was only going to have the Johto region, but when Iwata saw a demonstration of the games, he helped optimize the game to the point that the entire Kanto region could be fit in. I believe that's why certain locations such as Viridian forest are so different from Red and Blue, even with the game optimized, there was only so much you could fit in the memory of a Gameboy Color cartridge.
