We had this japanese kid in our class with an Arceus he got from an event. He traded it to everyone for the Sinjoh event and people would freak out every time it happened. :) Fun memory
My infant Giratina: "Trainer, where do babies come from?" Me having flashbacks to Arceus performing an occult summoning ritual with some Unown and opening a window into our reality for a moment: "...Babies come from sex."
Imagine doing the Sinjoh ruins late at night as a kid, not knowing what was awaiting you, and getting haunted by that cutscene for the rest of the year
Or imagine being, like, a stoned teenager / young adult playing this game, thinking you're playing some fun kids game then all of a sudden bam you're hit with this cosmic acid trip and you are left wondering what the hell just happened. Are you hallucinating.? Is the game channeling demons? You'll never know.
Anville Town is one of my favourite locations in Unova, actually! I used to go there all the time just to listen to the music and rest for a while. Is it really that unusual to, y'know, _explore_ locations? I always search every nook and cranny and talk to every NPC when I play, precisely because I don't want to miss anything. And Anville wasn't that hard to find...
Exactly! It kinda rubs me the wrong way when someone claims to be a fan of a rpg but then doesn't bother to explore when playing. I always do a victory lap after the champion to find new unlocks and missed secrets.
I was going to mention the same thing. I always talk to every person in these games and check out every place in each town so I didn’t think other people missed it too.
I didn't notice it because I hate the Battle Subway and all other Battle Frontier style things including the PWT. Why are some of the most useful items and TMs gated behind the most grindy and difficult part of the games?
The sinjoh ruins cutscene is cool as hell getting to know EXACTLY HOW palkia dialga and giratina came into being thanks to Arceus is such an amazing piece of Pokemon lore
The name Scorched Slab is a reference to one of the real-life locations said to be the famous "Ama no Iwato", the cave where the Sun Goddess Amaterasu hid herself for several days plunging the world into darkness, hence you find Sunny Day in it. The cave itself is located in the Miyazaki Prefecture of Takachiho in the island of Kyushu in Japan, and guess whhich part of Japan Hoenn was based on? DING DING DING! Kyushu!
The scorched lab is based upon the Japanese myth of Amaterasu, the goddess of the Sun. She hid in a cave called Ama-no-Iwato to escape from her mad brother Susanoo, the God of storms, and therefore the Sun disappeared from the Earth. This is why you canfind sunny day in there in S/R/E! It's just a clever quote to Japanese mythology :)
... and it is moments like this that I start to suspect that I might be a bit of a weeb for having picked up on the mythos behind that name... Apparently others did not.
That's so cool! I love when the games reference things like this. Speaking of which, I think it's pretty clever how Bronzor is based off of the bronze mirror of Amaterasu :)
I thought it had something to do with the Regi Trio and then when you capture them you would have to use three of them at the same time to capture their creator.
@@rita-Shi-Mi Oh that sounds pretty cool! If that was the case maybe there might be more hints and people talking about the events in Kanto and how Red (Red is canon since he appeared in every game and is well known to have stopped Team Rocket) stopped Team Rocket since the Hoenn video games: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald happened at the same time as Fire Red and Leaf Green.
That Arceus cutscene is just... Fucking amazing. It even surpasses the cutscenes in gen 5, which imo were pretty badass. You're totally right, it almost doesn't seem like something that should be in a Pokémon game
FUN FACT- I can never forget Artisan Cave, because there I raised my very low level Pokemons up to Level 50. Many times they even ran out of PP of every move and struggled, but that place is still Nice for raising pokemons! Edit : 206 likes?! Lmao
roboboo999 Yes that was me with Challenger’s Cave and Anville Town lol. I sunk over 100 hours into BW, and discovered every location. I personally like that there’s just some random locations that reward exploration, even if there’s not much to see or do.
Christian Warwick Shiny Zubat is the only Shiny Pokemon I’ve gotten twice, without shiny hunting just completely random, while playing Pokémon games. First one in Platinum second in Ultra Sun.
To me, Mythical Pokemon lost their value after Gen 4. If Mythical Pokemon are so extremely rare, then why does a random deliveryman hand them out like samples in a mall food court? 😭
People forgot Artisan Cave? That was my go-to training spot in Emerald! It's great because there are high level pokemon that can't really hurt you. If you use a non-damaging move the first turn, Smeargle isn't going to deal you any damage unless the battle drags on long enough to struggle. It's a great way to defeat high level pokemon with low level pokemon and get a good chunk of EXP.
Honestly I have never seen that cutscene before until now. I heard of the event to get the lv 1 legendaries when I was younger but I never actually played HGSS before, only Platinum
Artisan Cave is where you can "build" your Smeargle. For example: use Spore on one, it'll use Sketch and learn Spore, then you catch it. Level it up, so it can Sketch another move, teach another wild Smeargle a new move you want, enter with the Spore Smeargle, Sketch the new move, and do it on and on.

The Arcues cutscene is him creating the universe backwards (sort of), due to the Egg showing up at the end and hatching. Also, that music is Arceus’s battle theme. 13:56
These „empty places“ did give the games some good flair though. Even though they are forgettable and might not be that great when you’re an adult, as a kid I was theorising about what crazy things you could do be able to do in these „empty“ parts of the game, that simply hadn’t been found out yet.
Yea that was the best was spending a week figuring out its purpose and learning there is none. Unless its an event spot which i could never go to growing up in rura America
I started in gen 1, and I still remember Anville Town. I didn't visit it after the first time, but I still knew of it. Now the Dotted Hole, on the other hand.... XD
Me too! I started out technically in late gen 4, but my first game that i played on my own was white. I knew about Anville town but i agree with michael that it is so forgettable.
14:42. I was fortunate enough to get one by happenstance. I had no idea about the Ruins of Alph secret until I brought my Llama God with me. Needless to say I was confused yet intreged.
The Sinjoh Ruins is one of my favorite locations and I hope it's lore is delved into more with Legends: Arceus. 2009 and 2010 Arceus worked for the Sinjoh Ruins event, I remember getting one at GameStop that activated the event.
me too i thought it was a travesty an a huge missed opportunity that they did the same thing with the seven islands left it off let’s go..an soul silver
i always thought the scorched slab was supposed to be a reference to the battle between groundon and kyogre, like the slab groudon would’ve stood on to battle kyogre hence scorched and sunny day
Hoenn heavily leaned on the weather aspect of Pokémon so sunny day being given its own little spot makes sense although it is pretty out of the way for one TM that rarely got used
I think it's cool how they have locations like Altering Cave. It adds a layer of realism to the game, rather than having cliches like faraway caves that always have some kind of rare treasure in them.
They should make the Sinjoh Ruins event accessible in Gen 2 remakes if you have save data from Legends Arceus. I didn't realize at the time how incredibly lucky I was to have gotten the Toys R Us Arceus to see the cutscene.
BW Peterson I went there as a child cuz I was confused at where to go, so I went everywhere and then realized after 2 fracking years how obvious it was. I then beat the game the same day
*raises hand enthusiastically* I know the reason for Anville Town!! Unova is based on NYC with the starting area from B2W2 being New Jersey. Humilau is based off of Long Island where I was born and raised and lived my entire life before the move to maine in a few years back Anyway my best guess is that since the battle subway is based off of the actual subway system used in the city and this is the one subway with a definitive destination it looks to be based off of Hoboken New Jersey. It has several of the subway lines leading to it but only one with that being the only end point on one linear line straight from the city. So the reason it is so forgettable is because it's Jersey :p (my native New Yorker side needs to poke fun at Jersey)
that Sinjoh cut scene literally gives me chills, it doesn't feels like pokemon, feels like a really overwhelming force it pressing on your body. AS if the hands of God was hovering over you.
This has to be one of my favourite videos from you. And I'm glad I rewatched it now! There were many locations that I do remember, even before watching the video for the first time but I never knew their meaning besides the Sinjoh Ruins (thanks to /vp/) so this video still had and has great informational value to me.
The only reason I knew of Anville Town: "What there is a subway in this game but it does not take you anywhere?" -> So then I actively looked for the option to go somewhere.
Yeah I musta played the game too much cause I literally remembered both gen 5 ones and remember getting annoyed that I couldnt get to the cave and so couldnt get stone edge
Great video. I’m interested in some backstory into the azure flute and why it wasn’t included in game (they thought it was too hard). But after reading the reason I am confused how “hard” it actually is to use There are videos on CZcams of people hacking to do it but there are none discussing the backstory so could be a good unique video for you!
I'm around 15 and i just thought that scene was neat (I first saw it today on this video) It doesn't really seem scary to me, i mainly think it's pretty cool because it shows the entire side of arceus's head in very good detail while also having the real world backgrounds except put into 480p
@@shadowpyre umm tbh it's not scary to me I wasn't sure if It was Pokémon tho and was pleasantly surprised with my dialga I watched the cutscene when I was 7
Emerald's Altering Cave has a special place in my heart. I am very good at RNGing shinies in Pokémon so I don't care as much about shinies as others might do. But when you find a shiny Zubat while EV training for Speed, my heart sure skips a beat! Naturally, I caught it and it's now in my 'Accidental shinies' box in PokéBank. :D
It's funny that even the creator of this video forgot about Tanoby Key, that's how forgettable it was. At least Altering Cave is memorable for how pointless & disappointing it is. I remember actually forgetting I had to go to Tanoby Key to get the Unowns to appear in 1 playthrough of FRLG because of how forgettable a place it is.
I was introduced to Serebii very early on so I knew about these locations. Like I very very vaguely remember searching for Deoxys while playing Emerald for the first time. Hard to believe it has been around so long.
I actually didn't forget about Challenger's Cave or Anville Town. I was actually surprised that Challenger's Cave didn't return in Black 2/White 2. I always thought that the rocks blocking the entrance would be removed after beating the Pokemon League. But that wasn't the case.
How to change the forgettable to memorable Altering Cave: multiple entrances, during different times of day or seasons, the tide changes allowing more or less of the cave to be explored. Artisan Cave: Have people talk about it on the island. Just NPCs who like it or speak of it. Scorched Slab: have it be a magma room, with you running into rare fire types Sinjoh Ruins: collect all the Unown and have access to Arceus there. Challenger's cave: Have it filled with old Champions
I remember doing the Sinjoh Ruins stuff in HeartGold. I didn't get to the event, but I brought all my games and picked up extras at a couple other events and found someone on an online forum who had a spare Arceus and missed an event I went to. Worldwide online trading was truly a wonder back then, coming from gen 3 and the GBA.
MandJTV: I am not going to put any kanto and johto games in here because they are too memorable to be featured here Kanto and johto games: Suffering from success
1:13 Here’s a few ideas for you to chose: 1. “1,000,000 Encounters” Shiny Video/Stream (Basically do 1 million encounters and see how many shinies you get. Also slightly boost the shiny odds and randomize the wild encounters.) 2. “Top 100 MandJTV Moments” Video 3. “Pokémon Showdown Battles Against Viewers” Video/Stream 4. “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Battles Against Viewers” Video/Stream Also maybe include some other Pokétubers to collab with like JubileeBlais and TheAuraGuardian.
Lmao .... Cosmic acid trip 😂😂😂 Just became curious about Sinjoh ruins after the Pokemon legends Arceus reveal , hopefully they will explore the creation of these sinjoh ruins in the Legends Arceus as the sinnoh technically doesn't exist yet as people just discovered it and sinjoh ruins was made by people who came together from Johto and sinnoh to mix two cultures in these ruins (Sinnoh culture being non existent yet in Legends Arceus, as people just discovered this region) ...will be very interesting if they dig into this sinjoh ruins lore origin
I remember going into the scorched slab for the first time in Ruby/Sapphire. I'd already played ORAS, and was super stoked to find out what they did with this place before heatrean. at first I thought it wouldn't be there, but I looked anyway. Imagine my shock when I saw that it WAS there; imagine my disappointment when I realised it might as well have not have been.
@@thewitheredsoul8897 Lol I literally found one with the second wild encounter the first time I got to the cave. I wasn't even sure it was shiny cause I taught that maybe they had made different forms of smeargle with different paint colors (since the first I met was green and the second red). Luckily I caught it just in case my theory was wrong as it was.
14:50 I REMEMBER THAT CAVE! I remember trying to get through it. Since it was a long time ago, I don’t know if I ever did, but I do remember scisor spawning in the grass around the cave.
Squirtle:wtf happened to the letter Bulbasaur:sqirtle nothing happened to the floo wait the letter what do you mean Squirtle:look it's now a m instead of a k Bulbasaur:well yea we just hit 1m subs Squirle:oh we did how amazing I can go on forever
If I remember right, with Altering Cave, the reason it didn't get used was due to McDonalds at the time and that the card reader was not selling as well as planned. The idea was that there was going to be a promo thing with cards scanned to trigger it that could also be a thing for handing out at various events.
I honestly think that they should have a cutscene so that when you catch all of the Unown,they open a portal and Arceus arrives from it. You can choose to create any one pokemon that you want or to battle and catch Arceus.
This is actually a pretty good idea for an event. It does seem like it could be a little OP for those that reset their games for shinies and/or IVs, but otherwise would be good in general.
@@jjquinn295 For one thing, it’s a legitimate way to get Arceus. How many of those ways were there again? Another thing is that if you decide to ask him to create a Pokémon and save before catching the final unknown, you could get that one Pokémon you’re missing for a competitive battling team you’d been trying to put together but don’t want to bother going back into that annoying cave to grind for a perfect one. If you’re going to pick the same Pokémon every time it’d just be easier that way. The only problem would be what level you get the Pokémon at. We could say this is a post-league event and you get it at level 50 or level 80. Or it could be during the game at any time and they be level 1. Regardless, it’s still pretty OP to get that one Pokémon you’re missing or a LEGIT Arceus. Come on. I don’t want to go back to Victory Road for a Pokémon that has a 5% encounter rate thank you very much.
@@araelsongheart6918 It would be a choice that you make, much like you have to choose what Calarex type you want in sword and shield. If you wanted to grind the unknown event to get a few different mons transfer them over and reset you could. Trading the opportunity for an Arcus for say a legit mew, isn't over powered it is just a way that you could get the many different event pokemon by grinding rather than having the luck to be playing at the right time.
When I was super young, I was crazy obsessed with Pokemon and made my dad take me to Toys R Us and GameStop to go to all those crazy limited time events like the shiny Raikou Entei and Suicune. That Arceus event was just a week before my 10th birthday and I'm so glad to say that Sinjoh ruins cutscene was part of my formative years lol
I do remember all of these locations, and I remember trying things in-game, and going onto online forums to try and solve the mystery of Pattern Bush, because I thought it could unlock something cool.
The artisans cave thing cleared so much up for me because there's a bit in the Emeral episode of the Pokemon Adventures manga where there's a cave in the battle frontier full of smeargull and I literally had no idea there was game president for that, I thought the manga was just being weird again.
I love your Pokemon vids on here. Just got back into the video games and card games and might cover some of them on my channel as well. Just subscribed. keep up the good work!
For your 1 million special, POKÉMON TALK WHERE EVERY CHARACTER WILL COME AND THANK US FOR SUBSCRIBING WITH A TWIST LIKE THEY STARTED BATTLING AFTERWARDS.
I actually did the sinjoh ruins in heart gold with a legit arcus that I got from diamond. I was so excited about it and still have my lvl 1 legendary to this day along with the zorua from white.
Man I loved the Sevii Islands. It was such small but fun thing to add to the game. And it was so disappointing it never made a come back. I had so many hopes for LGPE but of course none of it happened
I never understood the significance of AZ's Floette but then again I skipped X and Y being the only games I skipped. Only reason I'm happy though it hasn't been released is that I've heard it can break lore as well as I personally don't think they should make many events on mid-stage Pokemon or Characters that are only relevant for a little bit having event Pokemon.
Eternal Flower Floette was always supposed to be the True Ultimate Form of Floette, it's kind of like those Special Pikachu, Eevee, & Meowths that are incapable of evolution. I still want that Legendary Stat Floette with Light of Ruin that was never released.
I actually remembered the Challengers Cave because I felt a real sense of accomplishment going in there and beating all the trainers. It made younger me feel like a spelunker fighting his way to a new discovery. Even if that discovery was nothing. And Anvil Town was a quaint little place I returned to a lot for items and just because I liked the design. I dunno. Younger me was kinda weird.

Same. But that cave on route 9 I had never been aware of, and BW was MY game. I LOVE bw. Genuinely surprised me that I didn't recognize it

14:42. I was fortunate enough to get one by happenstance. I had no idea about the Ruins of Alph secret until I brought my Llama God with me. Needless to say I was confused yet intreged.
Wow your lucky
The Sinjoh Ruins is one of my favorite locations and I hope it's lore is delved into more with Legends: Arceus. 2009 and 2010 Arceus worked for the Sinjoh Ruins event, I remember getting one at GameStop that activated the event.
me too i thought it was a travesty an a huge missed opportunity that they did the same thing with the seven islands left it off let’s go..an soul silver
I come from the future. Its lore is not delved into more

@@Borchert97 NOPE THE DLC EXPLAINS NOTHING!!
Yeah dunno why CZcamsrs all seem to think those Arceus were rare. GameStop is worldwide and gave them out like candies.
I remember Altering Cave due to a middle school rumor that one could get Mew there by standing still for 24 hours...
Lol. The good old days. Where people could trick you into doing stupid stuff to waste your time and it was a bit harder to fact check it online. Lol.
What do you mean, mew is behind the truck!
I discovered Altering Cave like years ago
I’m lucky I’m still in fourth grade...
Did you do it
i always thought the scorched slab was supposed to be a reference to the battle between groundon and kyogre, like the slab groudon would’ve stood on to battle kyogre hence scorched and sunny day
Apparently it's a reference to the cave where Amaterasu slept for a thousand years. Still a waste, glad ORAS did something with it.
Groundon huh

I think it's cool how they have locations like Altering Cave. It adds a layer of realism to the game, rather than having cliches like faraway caves that always have some kind of rare treasure in them.
They should make the Sinjoh Ruins event accessible in Gen 2 remakes if you have save data from Legends Arceus. I didn't realize at the time how incredibly lucky I was to have gotten the Toys R Us Arceus to see the cutscene.
I loved going to Anville Town because it was so soothing
I want more cities like Anville town
Same. I remember because the good deals and rare candies
BW Peterson I went there as a child cuz I was confused at where to go, so I went everywhere and then realized after 2 fracking years how obvious it was. I then beat the game the same day
@Nightly Chart86 lol good job.
Same
*raises hand enthusiastically* I know the reason for Anville Town!!
Unova is based on NYC with the starting area from B2W2 being New Jersey.
Humilau is based off of Long Island where I was born and raised and lived my entire life before the move to maine in a few years back
Anyway my best guess is that since the battle subway is based off of the actual subway system used in the city and this is the one subway with a definitive destination it looks to be based off of Hoboken New Jersey. It has several of the subway lines leading to it but only one with that being the only end point on one linear line straight from the city.
So the reason it is so forgettable is because it's Jersey :p (my native New Yorker side needs to poke fun at Jersey)
You informed geographical genius. I didn’t know how much I needed to know that. XD Thanks!
Where in Long Island are you from? I’m from sag harbor
that Sinjoh cut scene literally gives me chills, it doesn't feels like pokemon, feels like a really overwhelming force it pressing on your body. AS if the hands of God was hovering over you.
This has to be one of my favourite videos from you. And I'm glad I rewatched it now! There were many locations that I do remember, even before watching the video for the first time but I never knew their meaning besides the Sinjoh Ruins (thanks to /vp/) so this video still had and has great informational value to me.
The only reason I knew of Anville Town:
"What there is a subway in this game but it does not take you anywhere?" -> So then I actively looked for the option to go somewhere.
I’m proud of having been to Anville Town back in the day 😂. I didn’t realize it was so obscure
Same
I went there every Saturday to trade Star Pieces for PP ups
Same.
Yeah I musta played the game too much cause I literally remembered both gen 5 ones and remember getting annoyed that I couldnt get to the cave and so couldnt get stone edge
Same
Altering cave showed up in omega ruby and alpha sapphire as a location you could find flying around on latios or latias
Great video. I’m interested in some backstory into the azure flute and why it wasn’t included in game (they thought it was too hard). But after reading the reason I am confused how “hard” it actually is to use
There are videos on CZcams of people hacking to do it but there are none discussing the backstory so could be a good unique video for you!

What about Pokémon talk bro
That arceus cut scene scared the crap out of me the first time I watched it
You know what, same. But I was young when that happened. I was around 18-19 when I saw the Ultra-Necrozma scene, and it scared me so much more.
I'm around 15 and i just thought that scene was neat (I first saw it today on this video) It doesn't really seem scary to me, i mainly think it's pretty cool because it shows the entire side of arceus's head in very good detail while also having the real world backgrounds except put into 480p
@@IglisFlame_YT You're 15. I was nearing 12 or 13 when I 1st saw that scene.
@@shadowpyre umm tbh it's not scary to me I wasn't sure if It was Pokémon tho and was pleasantly surprised with my dialga I watched the cutscene when I was 7
Emerald's Altering Cave has a special place in my heart. I am very good at RNGing shinies in Pokémon so I don't care as much about shinies as others might do. But when you find a shiny Zubat while EV training for Speed, my heart sure skips a beat! Naturally, I caught it and it's now in my 'Accidental shinies' box in PokéBank. :D
There's a way to get a legit Hall of Origin Arceus by tweaking into the void in Diamond and Pearl.
i personally dont care but there are DEFINITELY some ppl who still see that as cheating
Not going to lie: I thought that Altering Cave would be more dramatic when I first entered it. Same goes for Tanoby Key.
It's funny that even the creator of this video forgot about Tanoby Key, that's how forgettable it was. At least Altering Cave is memorable for how pointless & disappointing it is. I remember actually forgetting I had to go to Tanoby Key to get the Unowns to appear in 1 playthrough of FRLG because of how forgettable a place it is.
Anyone else enjoy Anville Town? Anyone else actually remember Anville Town? Or was it just me?
Tbh I think I've been in Anville town daily because how obsessed I am in the subway station.
After discovering anville town I went to it once every play through for the old man's rare candy
I was there for certain days, as it was the place to get Rare Candies.
I was in Anville town in BW2 yesterday
I somewhat remember it, I can vaguely remember thinking it was interesting seeing one of the trains. I think I looked the train up on google
I was introduced to Serebii very early on so I knew about these locations. Like I very very vaguely remember searching for Deoxys while playing Emerald for the first time. Hard to believe it has been around so long.
I actually didn't forget about Challenger's Cave or Anville Town. I was actually surprised that Challenger's Cave didn't return in Black 2/White 2. I always thought that the rocks blocking the entrance would be removed after beating the Pokemon League. But that wasn't the case.

How to change the forgettable to memorable
Altering Cave: multiple entrances, during different times of day or seasons, the tide changes allowing more or less of the cave to be explored.
Artisan Cave: Have people talk about it on the island. Just NPCs who like it or speak of it.
Scorched Slab: have it be a magma room, with you running into rare fire types
Sinjoh Ruins: collect all the Unown and have access to Arceus there.
Challenger's cave: Have it filled with old Champions
Those are all fantastic ideas!
I'm glad I didn't forgot àbout àltering cave tide thing.
That Challenger Cave is very interesting. Just sucks it'll never come into flueintient
so altering cave would be exactly like shoal cave then
@@akingergamer Or the Castelia Sewers, but Altering Cave would have done it FIRST
What I remember most about Challenger cave is how you can't catch riolu in Sinnoh
I remember doing the Sinjoh Ruins stuff in HeartGold. I didn't get to the event, but I brought all my games and picked up extras at a couple other events and found someone on an online forum who had a spare Arceus and missed an event I went to. Worldwide online trading was truly a wonder back then, coming from gen 3 and the GBA.

Here’s a few ideas for you to chose:
1. “1,000,000 Encounters” Shiny Video/Stream (Basically do 1 million encounters and see how many shinies you get. Also slightly boost the shiny odds and randomize the wild encounters.)
2. “Top 100 MandJTV Moments” Video
3. “Pokémon Showdown Battles Against Viewers” Video/Stream
4. “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Battles Against Viewers” Video/Stream
Also maybe include some other Pokétubers to collab with like JubileeBlais and TheAuraGuardian.

cool. I sometimes might forget some locations in pokemon games.
I remember using my action replay to go to the sinjoh ruins to get a level 1 giratina.
Lmao .... Cosmic acid trip 😂😂😂 Just became curious about Sinjoh ruins after the Pokemon legends Arceus reveal , hopefully they will explore the creation of these sinjoh ruins in the Legends Arceus as the sinnoh technically doesn't exist yet as people just discovered it and sinjoh ruins was made by people who came together from Johto and sinnoh to mix two cultures in these ruins (Sinnoh culture being non existent yet in Legends Arceus, as people just discovered this region) ...will be very interesting if they dig into this sinjoh ruins lore origin
I remember going into the scorched slab for the first time in Ruby/Sapphire. I'd already played ORAS, and was super stoked to find out what they did with this place before heatrean. at first I thought it wouldn't be there, but I looked anyway. Imagine my shock when I saw that it WAS there; imagine my disappointment when I realised it might as well have not have been.
I played both games (remakes included) and i dont even remember that place existed.
Mandjtv: forgets Artisan cave
Me, a master smeargle moveset builder: pathetic

Wait, what are you talking about? He DID mention it...
@@bebcubgaming8388 he means it was listed as a forgettable location and/or in the video they said they forgot all about it
Mediocre concept, poorly executed.
@@thewitheredsoul8897 Lol I literally found one with the second wild encounter the first time I got to the cave. I wasn't even sure it was shiny cause I taught that maybe they had made different forms of smeargle with different paint colors (since the first I met was green and the second red). Luckily I caught it just in case my theory was wrong as it was.
I could never forget anville town! mainly because the music is so good.
14:50
I REMEMBER THAT CAVE!
I remember trying to get through it. Since it was a long time ago, I don’t know if I ever did, but I do remember scisor spawning in the grass around the cave.
I think the "Chamber of Emptiness" in X and Y deserved at least a mention here, it lives up to its name as it is a repeat of gen 3's "Scorched Slab".

I got obsessed with the Sevii islands as a kid so most of my firered memories are there. One of my fav parts of gen 3
If I remember right, with Altering Cave, the reason it didn't get used was due to McDonalds at the time and that the card reader was not selling as well as planned.
The idea was that there was going to be a promo thing with cards scanned to trigger it that could also be a thing for handing out at various events.
How can a person forget Anville Town? It has literally one of the most calming themes in all of Gen 5 imo.
Tru I've never forget about that.
I remember my first playthrough of pokemon black. I was super confused because I didn't knew how to get there lol
You literally can't get there unless you do a pointless Battle frontier for poor people 20 times.
It's just kinda there
unfortunately I was like six when i played the game but am getting gen 5 again and want to get there
I vividly remember The Scorched Slab. It’s lack of importance actually made it stick with me more.
Anville Town I forgot about for years until I replayed and was like where does this go to!
I will never forget the hidden cave at the battle frontier, because that is where a shiny smeargle struggled itself to death before I could catch it.
I honestly think that they should have a cutscene so that when you catch all of the Unown,they open a portal and Arceus arrives from it. You can choose to create any one pokemon that you want or to battle and catch Arceus.
Me wan jirachi also good idea tho is sounds like a real event lol imma tell my lil sis its real
This is actually a pretty good idea for an event. It does seem like it could be a little OP for those that reset their games for shinies and/or IVs, but otherwise would be good in general.
@@araelsongheart6918 How would it be OP? Grinding for every unknown takes longer than breeding 1 prefect Pokémon.
@@jjquinn295 For one thing, it’s a legitimate way to get Arceus. How many of those ways were there again? Another thing is that if you decide to ask him to create a Pokémon and save before catching the final unknown, you could get that one Pokémon you’re missing for a competitive battling team you’d been trying to put together but don’t want to bother going back into that annoying cave to grind for a perfect one. If you’re going to pick the same Pokémon every time it’d just be easier that way.
The only problem would be what level you get the Pokémon at. We could say this is a post-league event and you get it at level 50 or level 80. Or it could be during the game at any time and they be level 1. Regardless, it’s still pretty OP to get that one Pokémon you’re missing or a LEGIT Arceus. Come on.
I don’t want to go back to Victory Road for a Pokémon that has a 5% encounter rate thank you very much.
@@araelsongheart6918 It would be a choice that you make, much like you have to choose what Calarex type you want in sword and shield. If you wanted to grind the unknown event to get a few different mons transfer them over and reset you could. Trading the opportunity for an Arcus for say a legit mew, isn't over powered it is just a way that you could get the many different event pokemon by grinding rather than having the luck to be playing at the right time.
Idea: react to old videos and how you have grown since you’ve started
Ian Infanger boi, your about 3 and a half hours late😂

When I was super young, I was crazy obsessed with Pokemon and made my dad take me to Toys R Us and GameStop to go to all those crazy limited time events like the shiny Raikou Entei and Suicune. That Arceus event was just a week before my 10th birthday and I'm so glad to say that Sinjoh ruins cutscene was part of my formative years lol
I do remember all of these locations, and I remember trying things in-game, and going onto online forums to try and solve the mystery of Pattern Bush, because I thought it could unlock something cool.

And Anvil Town was a quaint little place I returned to a lot for items and just because I liked the design. I dunno. Younger me was kinda weird.
