JP: まぼろしのだいちへ To the Hidden Land

• (2:14) Frozen within a single frame, if you prefer.
• (3:55) Emulator error; the green and black is SUPPOSED to be the same colour as the ocean (i.e. blending in).
• (4:25) "This is falling…with style!"
• (4:27) But DC Comics told me time was like a river…
• (5:18) Red skies are bad news!
• (5:56) You can return to Treasure Town if you need to do missions for whatever reason; Lapras will wait at the beach.
• (6:22) Floors 6 and 10 are naturally sunny, and some Pokémon like to spam weather moves/abilities for extra fun (All the hail you see? Offscreen Abomasnows.). Watch for Manectric's Lightning Rod! This is a non-themed dungeon, so just use your wisest judgment here.
• (6:52) Standard A attacks can reveal traps.
• (7:01) Those damn Puruglys and their Thick Fats!
• (10:30–10:51) Mew, from which Mewtwo was cloned; Kyogre and Groudon, lords of the sea and earth; Dialga and Palkia, masters of time and space. Palkia is among the best Pokémon for solo exploration (lol nice wall m8), as long as you don't take it to a level 1/IQ-disabling dungeon; take it to Zero Isle North (once you've maxed its IQ) for semi-consistent stat-boost item farming. That said, the Drifloon line rivals it due to Unburden (attacks twice at no extra cost as long as you aren't holding an item; pair with Quick Striker to have your regular attack strike out four times!) and Trap Seer (unseen traps won't trigger upon initial reveal; probably the biggest advantage they have against Palkia). You'll have to stock up on restoration items for the balloons, though, since they lack Multitalent, and Unburden and things like Stamina Bands/Tight Belts are mutually exclusive in function.
• (11:33) Oh come on, they're just funkily-written Latin letters!
• (12:26) Dun-dun-DUUUUUUUUUUUN!
• (12:38) What, you didn't think they'd make it THAT easy, did you?
• (13:49) This fight is adapted in the MDS anime special: youtube.com/watch?v=u_jzm0Mo3nk (we parkour now)
• (14:42) Keep talking and I might actually believe you, oh wait no I wouldn't.
• (14:44) He's borrowing power from a legendary, so…incidentally, that's probably how he built up his reputation of being a renowned explorer in the first place!
• (15:36) Remember kids, Ghost is weak against itself! (The anime has them [Grovyle + Piplup + Chimchar] use an Energy Ball/Whirlpool/Fire Spin combo attack to deflect the Shadow Ball.)
• (19:46) There's that line!
