  • Another shiny video where the intro accidentally became most of the video! I decided to ramble on for a little bit about why the Regis feel like the most legendary encounters in the whole series to me. Believe it or not, there is not a single Reggie Fils-Aime joke in this video. I hunted for a shiny Regi for a new shiny hunting event called the Week of Legends back in July.

    I remember in Elementary School not only realizing it was brail because it looked like the dots on our classroom / bathroom signs, but then having to bike all the way down to the local library so I could find a book on brail. Felt like such an achievement being the first kid in my grade to figure it out, so it's a bit of shame that now in the age of the internet kids can't really experience that same sense of cracking secrets in videogames.

      Absolutely epic, I remember me and my grandma discovered this because she went to church and someone there just so happened to know braille and he gave us a sheet with the braille alphabet
      It was so epic and I don't think I've ever felt quite like that since

    I will never forget my experience with Ruby and the Regi’s.
    I was around the same age as you, I found the sealed chamber by accident. Months passed and I assumed just like you it was just a cave. I mentioned this to two older kids in passing and they wanted to check it out. One of them kept their manual so he recognised the brail. Every day at school that kid translated everything for me and the other kid until we hit a road block with Relicanth the other two had no idea what it meant but I knew I had seen one in passing. The kid with the manual gave each of us his own handmade brail alphabet and that day I went full detective mode. The moment that screen shook was so exciting, I was full of Adrenalin. I wish new games were just like this, I honestly feel so sorry for children that won’t ever experience anything like that.

      even if you searched for collaborative efforts like you did in your anecdote about going to school each day with new information, the other kids would just tell you to look it up...

      And the way they handle mythicals too... I mean it’s not just the internet. Shiny locking legendaries in gen 6+, shiny locking starters in gen 8, just handing out the mythicals instead of giving you an item to find them, making the games so handhold-y... I honestly wish that they would make the games more difficult, or at least have a difficulty setting. Unfortunately, with data mining, and Internet forums, I don’t think there’s much that they can do about people learning so much about the games so soon, but I would love to see games more like gen 3

    It's so difficult to keep secrets in the digital age, it makes me kind of sad. I'll never forget the feeling of wandering into the grass in Johto and encountering a Stantler for the first time and just being BLOWN AWAY because I had no idea what I was looking at. I really hope Game Freak comes back around to the idea of quirky mystery Pokemon again.

    I dont really like the regis but I loved the hunt for them. Having to decode the brail and search all around for the caves was a big achievement and something I feel is missing from new games. You were truly rewarded for your curiosity and exploration in these older games. I miss that alot. Hidden paths, caves, boulder puzzles, sevi islands, etc. Even running into roamers for the first time was a unique experience that would reignite my will to play when I was young. Maybe it's part nostalgia but anything past gen 5 has not interested me in nearly the same way. Emerald is all time.

    This was how I felt playing through my copy of Diamond when I was 7 or 8. I remember being completely floored by all the secret events and legendaries available in the game.
    One of my best memories playing Pokemon was after I had beaten the elite four in diamond, and just happened to be running down route 214. I saw a completely new path towards the eastern side of the route that I had never noticed before. Following it, I got to sendoff spring and eventually turnback cave. Running aimlessly through those cryptic rooms and eventually stumbling upon Giratina sitting there motionless, calmly observing you as if it was expecting you to come still gives me chills. I love how nobody in the region mentioned it; there was no "hey you should go check out route 214" dialogue as far as I can remember. It was just this new thing that suddenly opened up to you, and they left it completely up to you to find.
    THAT is what newer games are missing. In order to get that feeling once again, they will have to hide their secrets MUCH better. Make them more obscure, harder to find, more intricate and more difficult to accomplish. Don't include any NPC's pushing you in the right direction. Let it be something that someone stumbles upon totally by chance. That's the type of thing that makes your world feel so much more vibrant and detailed.

    • @anthares96
      @anthares96 Před 3 lety

      same, that and the regi puzzle are two of the best legendary encounters purely because it feels so satisfying to explore the world and uncover awesome secrets by that, or even stumble into them by accident :,)
      i had a similar experience to you when it comes to giratina, i randomly found the path after beating the league and was sure i hadn't seen it before. the only difference is that, when i first saw giratina, it startled me because the sprite was so big and came out of nowhere, so i left the cave to kinda "gather myself" and prepare to battle, and then i re-entered the cave and poof, it wasn't there anymore. it took me another few minutes to find it again, but this time i actually battled and caught it. it's memories like these that stick with you, and it's a shame indeed that newer games don't allow you to run into things organically, but rather all but spell it out for you with big icons and npc infodumps

    My god, the intro filled me with all of my childhood nostalgia from discovering the Sealed Chamber, to deciphering the braille, to finally learning what was hidden from us and capturing what are easily my favorite set of non-cover legendaries of all time. I, too, had a "Kyle" who spread rumors at my school and he and I worked together to solve the mystery together. It was an absolute blast and a thing I look back fondly upon. In fact, I still have my phone's ringtone/alarm as this battle track, it means that much to me. I'm so glad I finally took the time this spring to hunt all three and can't wait to hunt them all again in Platinum down the road. Congrats on your Registeel, Matt! Easily one of my favorite videos you've ever created and I can't wait for the next one!

    This is literally why Regirock is my favourite legendary pokemon. I remember using a nintendo magazine to decode the braille. Awesome video as always Matt

    This almost made me tear up I remember going over my friends house spending days trying to figure out what to do I wish they made games as difficult and crypt as they used to. Thanks for the video it means a lot!

    It was a magical feeling that truly can never be recaptured again. The perfect confluence of time period, mystery, and game devs who wanted to add that extra adventure to their game through details. One of the most beautiful works of art in that it could only be experienced at that time, especially heightened by childhood wonder.

    Matt this is such an awesome video. And I totally, 100% agree. I remember learning about the Regi’s in the lunch room and being like “umm you need a relicanth and a wailord to do what??”. Really enjoyed this one pal, good stuff!

    this reminds me of when I was getting into world of warcraft for the first time. I was 10 and really unfamiliar with the internet as a whole but I always wanted to experiment to see if I could be the first to find something hidden. I would swim off the island until my character died of fatigue half-expecting some raid-boss-esque shark to attack me at any second. it would really put me on edge. I loved exploring the massive continents to try and traverse undiscovered areas and it was an amazing feeling to find the occasional hidden cave. Nostalgic video for the wrong reason but loved the trip! thank you

    Pro tip. If you want any sense of that feeling ever again, go into the next major pokemon game blind. Totally blind from any leaks, trailers, anything. I did this with x and y and sun and moon and both ended up much more fun. Finding the legendary bird in x was super cool but finding guzlord in moon made me feel like a king

    This video reminded me of the joy many of us got from, not only pokemon but, so many games all those years ago. I've never had someone describe and showcase it so well that it brought me back. Ruby and Sapphire have always been my favorites btw, particularly because of the mystery behind the Reggies.

  • @M3rtyville
    @M3rtyville Před 3 lety

    Seeing stuff like the Regis Lore makes you wonder what Masuda was thinking not to distribute the Azure Flute because players wouldn't figure out to use it on Sky Piller on their own... except that there is a freaking flute printed on the Ground where you use it and it's the most important place in the story.
    Now we get myphicals just handed over.
    Happy new year and congratz on your shiny Registeel

    I was about 9 years old when I first stumbled upon that strange diving patch. I was just looking for items I missed and wound up on an entire adventure. Having no internet made it difficult, but my school had a book on Braile and I took to reading and exploring.
    This is what I miss. The thrill of adventure and the suspense of what comes next. The puzzles that truly made you think or learn something new. The legendary encounters these days just don't feel legendary anymore and even the stories themselves have grown stale in my opinion. Hopefully that changes in the future, but who knows?
    Side note: I love the first background music you used. Definitely brought me back to those good ole Megaman Battle Network days. Cheers mate!

  • @KnoelsNook

    I was briefly in Girl Scouts and our scout book had braille written in it. When playing Sapphire and searching for the Regis, I felt so accomplished knowing I had easy access to figuring out the answers.

    I’m the same age as you so it was crazy to hear this story was happening to someone at around the same time I accidentally discovered the regis cave for the first time hahaha. I remember I finally figured it out what to do some months later after my cousin’s friend helped me out. I’d love to have that feeling of excitement for Pokemon all over again as when I did during that time

  • @bainhardt
    @bainhardt Před 3 lety

    This video is so true man. Pokemon games as an experience really thrive on that sense of mystery and exploration; something can't feel rare or incredible if it's handed directly to you. I remember having to read about the Regi puzzles in Nintendo Power. I probably didn't even know they existed before that, they were so well hidden lol
    It's unfortunate how difficult it is to recapture that nowadays. It doesn't help that most people seem to think that anytime you're excited about a new game coming out, that should mean you want as much information about it as possible before the release date, even though for me I prefer knowing as little as possible.

  • @GormGear
    @GormGear Před 3 lety +1

    The way you described your experience completely mirrors mine with my brother when we discovered the regi's all those years ago, sadly with the levels of data mining and racing as you describe with current pokemon games to expose every fact and secret I really doubt we'll experience something like finding the Regi's again.

    I like that this indirectly taught you how to learn braille for the blind in real life. It was an incentive for you to learn a language that people with disabilities have to use. It would be even cooler if we get to see something with sign language in the future.

    Man, I think these are my favorite legendary quests too. I did use an internet guide for the braille but I have fond memories of staying up late, playing under the covers, and slowly following the steps of the quest. Finding the plethora of legendaries in Gen 5 isn't quite the same feeling, but I didn't use a guide for those so it still felt like a quest just to locate them all.

  • @IllIlllI
    @IllIlllI Před 3 lety +4

    Mysteries ruins in gold silver, the moth in black and white, arceus in platinum. But yeah it makes a difference if you are a child and have internet and all. Also those timed events can be nice (sure they suck if you can’t attend them), my fav. was the victiny one

  • @DonYagamoth
    @DonYagamoth Před 3 lety

    I still remember, that for some reason we had a Braille guide laying around about half a year before I got to play Pokémon Sapphire at the time. So I somehow immediately recognized the patterns thanks to that. After translating, I had no idea where to get a Wailord - and when you just explained, that you didn't realize it wasn't a Wailmer, I feel like that's very likely to be what actually happened to me as well in hindsight o_o
    I never ended up going back to catch any of the legendaries, or even doing particularly much in the 3rd gen of Pokémon, as I got more and more absorbed in PC games instead. But it was really awesome learning about these secrets years later ^^

  • @mattismo
