Every Johto Pokémon Game Freak Forgot

I made a weird error in this video and said Shadow Lugia was introduced in the same gen as Lugia, something I know clearly not to be true. I am befuddled and ashamed, but you can make me feel better by buying merch hahahahahaha mandjtvmerch.com/

About mega forms: "not coming back anytime soon." Time decided to make a fool of this man.

15:19 also giving Shuckle an evolution means that Shuckle will be able to use an Eviolite, making it's defenses even more insane

I just wanna say this. if GameFreak does give Shuckle an evolution, it means you can give Shuckle the Eviolite. which means it can basically tank like, 3 Water Spouts

There’s a reason Rowlett, Oshawott, and Cyndaquil were the chosen mons to be starters. Each of their names hold a feudal Japanese reference in which Legends of Arceus was built around- feudal Japan. Not to discount the lack of love chikorita and todadile got but there were reasons.

For what it's worth, Ariados was gifted a signature move in Gen 7 that would actually be a pretty solid move if given to a pokemon with better stats.

It's worth mentioning Unown did get a buff in Legends Arceus by changing how Hidden Power worked. Now it's not just one type, but it picks a type the opponent is weak to. That's a pretty giant buff, considering that's Unown's only move.

The mega evolution not coming back anytime soon comment didn't age well lol

19:54 rewatching this after the Gen 9 DLC announcement officially revealed Paradox Suicune as Walking Wake Edit: Paradox Raikou and Entei for Indigo Disk as Raging Bolt and Gouging Fire, respectively

Lugia and Luigi sound like they could be two box art legendaries.

I really wish they would bring back the “baby Pokémon in the wild have 3 perfect IVs” thing. It really gave an incentive to catch and raise them.

10:34 oh, it's coming back alright

The only upside I can think of for baby forms is they let some Pokemon be encountered earlier than they normally would and give the satisfaction of getting one more evolution as you play. It's neat to, for example, get a Pichu at the start of SuMo and work with it to get it to Pikachu instead of just getting a Pikachu right off. Azurill is another one like that, and I remember catching one early on in my Pokemon Y game to use as my Water type in a playthrough. Better example might be something like Smoochum, since Jinx is almost always caught super late but Smoochum could be placed in the wild early, or Igglybuff, which you can get super early in SV, but Jigglypuff normally is an early/mid encounter instead of a route 1 encounter. It's not a lot, but it's one purpose for baby forms, I guess!

Personally, I've had an idea of Octillary evolving into a giant pirate ship that's also a giant squid, with canons under its suckers. I gave it the water/steel typing, and named it Kalarmada.

Wynaut was actually really important to making Wobuffett usable as it lets Wobuffett learn Encore which is huge since it takes away the need to predict what attack the opponent is using.

10:27 aged like milk

I always liked the idea of a regional Noctowl that looks like a snowy owl and is Ice/Psychic. Hisui would've been a great opportunity for that

I know you counted getting the fairy type as special treatment for azumarill, but its also worth mentioning the fact that it was given the ability huge power in gen 3 when abilities were introduced. That plus the physical/special split in gen 4 made azumarill so strong. It's just been getting better and better over the years

I’d love to see Lanturn get a regional variant that’s Ghost/Water, having it be a guide for the souls of people who die at sea. A regional evolution on top of that would be awesome too.

The Sunflora "puzzle" was my favorite on SV. Supes adorbs seeing those happy boys prancing behind you.
