I knew from my copy of Pokemon Handbook that Seaking could learn it so, I traded a Goldeen over from my Red version (so that it would get the Exp boost and level up quicker) and painstakingly trained it until it learned Waterfall 😅

    If you trade a Surfing PokĂšmon to Platinum, it's 100% possible to see those two trainers battling. You don't necessarily HAVE to use Action Replay cheats. Just beat Crasher Wake, trade a Surf Learner to DP/HGSS to teach Surf, trade back to Platinum, head toward Canalave and Surf. The reason they're there is because they are roadblocks for those trying to advance the story too far before they get the Surf HM from Celestic Town. If the game has not set the "Beat Cyrus, Open Canalave" flag, they will be there. In fact, what you've shown is in fact true that they are there UNTIL you beat Cyrus.

    Some obscure facts of my own: Dragon Fang, Black Belt, and Silver Powder were almost impossible to obtain in R/S/E without trading as each required you to use Thief on a specific PokĂ©mon in specific trainers' teams, with only one of each existing. What’s worse is that none of the items would appear in your first battle with these trainers, requiring up to 4 battles each to get the item to appear!
    Phanpy can learn Water Gun, but ONLY in Crystal. Which is a weird thing to remove from my boi, since it’s not exactly balance breaking and fits the theme of “elephant.”

    This made me realise how rare it is to see facts in these videos from gen 6 onwards. Yeah small details like whiting out in a tutorial battle doesn't actually make you white out are cool and all but there's a lot of big secrets in the 3D titles that I feel like aren't really covered by anyone that much. Biggest thing I can think of is the sheer amount of secret interactions you can get in Ultra Sun and Moon after beating the main story. Like how if you enter Nanu's police station in the postgame you help a starting trainer pick out a starter pokemon from 3 alolan meowths. Even today I'm still finding some interactions in random buildings and sometimes I find another one in a building I already found a secret cutscene in on an earlier date like the Hau'oli City shopping centre's stage that holds random events you can watch. I'm pretty sure I walked in on a pokemon talent show once.

    An obscure fact for Scarlet/Violet: In the games, there are Vivillon to catch but the average person probably wouldn't think anything of it nor its pattern until they read the description: "This form is from a mysterious land" or "This Pokémon was born in a mysterious land" depending on the game. The specific pattern of wild Vivillon in Paldea is the Fancy Pattern. Originally, you were only able to get a Vivillon with this specific pattern via the Nintendo Network from July 8th to the 31st 2014 when the Global Trade System celebrated its 100 millionth trade. So this "mysterious land"...is the INTERNET! The fact they brought back this formerly event-exclusive pattern for Gen 9 is a detail that I appreciate.

    Certain Pokémon had moves added to their movesets in later versions for particular reasons. A few I found notable in Platinum were the Regis. Regigigas is caught at level 1 and the trio caught at level 30. In Diamond and Pearl, those Pokémon at their Platinum levels would know Explosion by default. A move was added to the trio's learnset to override Explosion and three moves for Regigigas for the same reason so they do not KO themselves mid-battle. Additionally Mew is able to do that in Emerald as it can Metronome into Self-Destruct or Explosion.

      Goldeen and Seaking are just victims of circumstance. In Gen 1, you could ONLY get Magikarp with the Old Rod, so you'd be waiting until after Snorlax to get access to a Good Rod.
      But, by the time you can get the Good Rod, you can also get the Super Rod, giving you a PLETHORA of other choices for Water type pokemon. Assuming you didn't already choose Squirtle as a starter, get the free Squirtle in Yellow, or evolve yourself a Gyarados.
      Even if you DO go out of your way to use Goldeen, it needs TMs to learn any Water moves at all, evolves at a somewhat late lvl 33, and then gets Waterfall at lvl 39.......and it's a good thing they don't list the damage and effects of moves in Gen 1, or you'd realize that Waterfall is 80 base power, and Surf (the HM you can get from the Safari Zone at the same time you get ACCESS to Goldeen) is 95 base power, and needed for progression anyway.
      Honestly. If you could JUST get Goldeen from an Old Rod, you could give it the Water Gun or Bubblebeam TM and have a serviceable early game Water type. Instead, they are (quite literally) a small fish, lost in a sea of better options.

    Speaking of the teleporting to jubilife City to skip the rival encounter, something I found out while playing through Platinum is that if you enter eterna City and you do not heal at the center and your last heal at a center was in jubilife or oreburgh, if you use teleport it will take you back to eterna instead. They did this to protect you from skipping getting the explorer kit and the bike. Since you would not be allowed to walk out of the town without getting those first

    I did know that Seaking learned Waterfall from watching Smallant in one of his early HeartGold map randomizer races. (It was the shining moment of that race because both the Waterfall HM and his needed door/loading-zone were locked behind waterfalls; but, he had the 8th gym badge and he was allowed to scale waterfalls. So he had to quickly grind up a wild Seaking to learn Waterfall and win the race).

    Fun thing about Fact #8! There's actually a hint that Waterfall was a Gen 1 move, signature to Seaking: it's the move it gets in the original Pokemon TCG. The mandatory tutorial of the GB game even features Seaking's Waterfall, where you have to use it to smack a Machop in order to progress. It's odd to think that it was there the whole time before it became relevant in Gold and Silver.

    I don’t know if it’s because of the way you did your videos in the past, but I personally find the tone of this video with the analogue horror style and darker music to be very unfitting for this kind of content. It also doesn’t help that you weren’t talking about anything creepy or dark. I get the idea that you wanted to give off that you were in the depth like in iceberg videos, but I just felt like it didn’t mesh well. Great content and research as always.

I remember it because I asked for the lugia disc when I was smol and I was given the ledyba one and my disappointment was immeasurable. A quick youtube search shows that there are some videos about the games, but no one ever really talks much about them and I don't know how well they're documented.

    In Pokemon Diamond And Pearl not Platinum (or the remakes) just Diamond And Pearl the music in Spring Path has many audio glitches sometimes the music just doesn’t play at all but when it does the music is slightly different,
    In DP Spring Path uses the same music as the Old Chateau and Newmoon Island however Spring Path’s version sounds different, in the Old chateau version (and Newmoon Island but the only legit way to acess there in DP nowadays is to have a save file from back in 2009 that had the Event so you ain’t getting there without hacks or glitches) there is a part which sounds like a haunting ghost choir (appropriate for the area) however Spring Path’s version this section has said choir removed and sounds dead, empty and Hollow, this version will follow you into Sendoff Spring and Turnback Cave, this is a glitch as fitting as the empty feel is for the area as if you save and reset or use Surf in the area the regular version used in the Old Chateau starts up (I’m not certain if encountering wild pokemon fixed the music so if you want to try this yourself go in with repels), someone looking into the song files and found that the difference was an audio file called female choir didn’t load in the glitched version.
    Strangely in Platinum Spring Path’s music was changed to the music of the adjacent route (route 214) which maybe due to the audio glitches and in Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl the music is obviously remixed even when using the DS Sounds it is fixed (trust me I tried)
    This may sound like a creepypasta and I would probably think that too but I remember the music being different between DP and Pt as a kid (I didn’t find the Chateau for a while so my only exposure to the music was Spring Path) I thought I was hearing things for years but finding out I was correct all these years was satisfying as all get out
    If you want to hear the difference watch this video m.czcams.com/video/ac8XIBEGtIA/video.html
    It also has an explanation in the description if mine was long winded
    Too compare just type in Old Chateau on YT listen to both tracks from 0:38 to 1:21 and you’ll hear the difference.
    As much as I know it’s unintentional part of me wants to believe it is as it fits so well

    Re: the zigzagoon, pokemon do actually flee outside the safari zone, there are a few examples off the top of my head, I've been replaying Crystal and if you try to get Phanpy early it has the option to just run away (not teleport or use any move, it just straight up nopes out of the battle). I caught one and it took me about 40 minutes because the stupid thing kept running away after the pokeball failed. To make it even dumber, its catch rate isn't the best (and also, its encounter rate is only like 5% or something). I didn't even know it was catchable at all where I found it but I just happened to be playing at an ungodly hour and that's the only time it even spawns apparently. I believe I've seen Magnemite do it too, but there's probably a few others. It's bizarre, cause I don't remember it being a thing at all, and as far as I know, it's ONLY a gen 2 thing for whatever weird reason. Well, they can in let's go as well, but that's not really the same IMO since it's just modeled to work similarly to the phone game.

    The Trainers battling in front of Canalave was likely an obstacle to prevent sequence breaking that may have later become obsolete. Suppose you were originally going to battle Fantina sooner, something had to prevent you from going to Canalave before you visit Celestic Town & learn who Cyrus actually was despite it being obvious. Then of course making you have to beat Cyrus to challenge Hearthome's Gym made it unnecessary, although Platinum still would need that roadblock because you could be traded a Pokémon that knows Surf before you get the HM for it from Cyrus.
