Pokémon Generations often like to include hints or references to upcoming Generations that haven't been revealed yet and sometimes game freak will even look to older generations for inspiration while developing the new ones so in today's video I'm going to be looking at 20 things in newer Pokemon generations that actually first appeared in older [Music] ones now now that we're in 2024 many of us

in Gen 6 we of course got the introduction of Mega Evolution and one of those Mega Evolutions is Mega Gyarados Mega Gyarados looks almost identical to a mystery Pokémon that Misty sees in a dream in the anime in the episode Enlighten up so it's very possible that this mystery man inspired the design of Mega Gyarados especially because we know that Misty has an affinity for Gyarados as well there's also another potential Mega Evolution connection that can be found in Gen 2 as well in Charizard's Pokemon Gold deck entry it says if Charizard becomes Furious the flame at the tip of its tail flares up into a whitish blue color this describes Mega Charizard X perfectly as not only does it have that whitish blue flame on its tail and is the only type of Charizard who does but the mention of it becoming Furious also fits perfectly here too since we know that many mega evolutions become extremely agitated and angry upon mega evolving so it's very possible that this deck entry directly inspired the design of Mega Charizard X that was introduced over a decade after this deck's entry was written there are actually a lot of these kinds of things that connect to X and Y so let's look at a couple more first is the most infamous one and that is the strange souvenir given to you by a hiker in the Callos games this item is a direct hint to Pokemon Sun and Moon which would be released 3 years after Pokémon X and Y and more specifically it is most likely a direct tease towards the island Guardians tapu Coco lelay finny and boulu as it is said to depict a guardian deity of the alola region this next one is a bit more theoretical but there is a lot of evidence to suggest that Professor Sycamore is actually one of Professor Rowan's AIDs that we see in the C games particularly the one that is the father of the opposite player character to the one you choose this is because we know that Professor Sycamore studied under Professor Rowan thanks to an NPC in X and Y the aid that is the father of the player even though it's just an NPC model doesn't look too dissimilar to Professor Sycamore and most of all Lucas one of his children depending on who you play as wears a beret in the games which is a hat of French origin this idea was even strengthened in Pokemon Legends archus when we see Reay at the beginning of the game wearing a shirt that originates from the Callos region in Pokémon X and Y so it might sound crazy but this aid from Gen 4 could have very possibly became professor more a couple Generations later in Gen 6 another one that's a bit circumstantial yet compelling in X and Y occurs with an NPC who says that riding on an onyx would be so much fun and wouldn't you know it just one generation later in let's go Pikachu and Eevee Onyx became a rable Pokemon ride Pokemon also began to become a thing in X and Y so it's also Poss possible that Onyx was on game freak's radar as a ride Pokémon in Gen 6 that they were finally able to make happen at the end of gen 7 in the let's go games speaking of the let's go games there are multiple Illusions to them in the alola games that came prior to them the first is right on the back of the box art of ultra sun and moon where it says in Big Bright letters let's go given that let's go Pikachu and would come out just one year after Ultra sun and moon and there's also an additional let's go hint in these games as well it's very likely that this too is an intentional hint to the let's go titles and that additional hint comes right at the beginning of ultra sun and moon where in the player's bedroom an autograph can be found sitting on top of a drawer that says it's from a gym leader in Kanto when it's Interactive with and in let's go Pikachu and Eevee you get an autograph just like this from Lieutenant Serge after defeating him in battle revealing who the autograph actually came from and that it was a tease to the let's go games all along also in Ultra sun and moon a poster of gigantamax toxtricity can be seen out in the open for everyone to see on the wall of the game freak offices in heaa City due to its low resolution and the angle that we can view it from it made it almost impossible at the time to know that this was an actual new Pokémon from the upcoming generation making it a very good hint another hint to sword and shield in the alola games comes from an NPC trainer on Pony Island who asks you if the area you're in seems like a power spot which is the name of the areas in sword and shield field where you are able to Dynamax your Pokémon this NPC is also a sightseer AKA a tourist meaning that this NPC is likely meant to be from the Galla region directly another alola illusion that's not really a hint but more like an inspiration from an earlier generation like the first couple entries has to do with a lan exeggutor aolan exeggutor is essentially alluded to four generations before it was introduced in gen 3 where its deck entry in the hoen games mentions that exeggutor originally came from the tropics and that its heads grow larger with exposure to strong sunlight which perfectly describes alolan exeggutor and its long neck we can even see an exeggutor with a long neck in generation one via the jungle expansion of the TCG showing that its alolan form is actually likely inspired by all these things from multiple Generations earlier meanwhile in the Pokémon sun and moon anime a huge tease to the Galler region was made in the episode Bright Lights big changes where Ash is watching a TV program and in the background of the program an area very clearly resembling London can be seen which obviously alludes to the uk-based Galler region which would be revealed not too long after this in generation 8 yet another hint to gen 8 in the Gen 7 time frame comes from the TCG in the cosmic Eclipse expansion there is a teddy Ursa card that when you look at it in retrospect is a huge tease to Pokemon Legends archus the card features a statue of archus in the background and an area that perfectly resembles the celestica ruins and Teddy Ursa received a new Evolution in Pokemon Legends archus in the form of ursal Luna meaning that this card practically screamed at us that Legends archus was coming and we had no idea until Legends was already revealed and speaking of gen 8 there is as you might expect by now a hint to gen N9 within this generation as well in the SE Chester hotel in Pokémon sword and shield there are roped off rooms on either side of the lobby that feature wallpaper with grapes and oranges which we now know is a direct connection to nanha and uies from Pokémon scarlet and violet especially because the seester hotel is the hotel within the games that members of game freak are staying in going back to the TCG another TCG hint that is really just a fun little tidbit more than an actual thing or piece of inspiration but it's still kind of cool comes from the fossil expansion in generation one in this Psyduck card a red fish can be seen jumping up out of the water in the background and say what you will but it pretty closely resembles Tatsu gir's droopy form from Pokemon scarlet and violet now I don't think this is an example of inspiration being taken or anything like that it's kind of just a fun coincidence more than anything but the res Lance is pretty uncanny if I do say so myself I've got one more alola related one for you guys and it's a pretty crazy one that has to do with the third Pokémon movie spell of the unknown which released all the way back in generation 2 at the beginning of the movie Molly's dad is showing her a book of legendary Pokémon with one of the pages depicting a Pokemon that resembles the Sun and is shining its light over a tropical beach location with some hibiscus flowers prominently displayed in the foreground this shockingly enough connects perfectly to soo from five generations later in Pokémon sun and moon as not only is it a legendary Pokémon like the book depicts but it is of course based around the Sun is from the tropical alola region which is consistent with the setting in the book and alola is based on Hawaii whose state flower is the habiscus which is the flower that is depicted in the book so given all of these very strong connections it's very possible that this could have played some sort of role in Soul goo's development as a Pokemon okay now we're going to get into some Gen 5 stuff because Gen 5 has been all the rage lately in the hoen games there is a researcher at the Devon Corporation who says he's working on a device to visualize the dreams of Pokémon Pokemon dreams and their visualization would later be explored a couple of generations later in gen 5's dream world and this connection was even legitimized in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire when this same researcher mentions that his rival who lives far away is also working on the same thing which obviously connects to univa and more specifically fennel and her Research into the dreams of Pokémon Gen 5 has a bunch of connections of its own though to Future Generations as well like for instance Gen 6 and Mega Evolution Kus is a character from Gen 5 who was introduced in Black and White 2 and his character in Black and White 2 is basically just one big illusion to Mega Evolution which would come just a year later in Pokemon X and Y at the time of black and white 2's release during one of the first times you encounter Kus in the games he introduces himself by saying the following oh excuse me I am a Scientist my name is Kus the theme of my research is bringing out the power of Pokemon bringing out the power of Pokemon is it possible to bring out their maximum power through the bond they share with their trainers this pretty accurately describes the concept of Mega Evolution which relies on the bond between trainer and Pokémon and since it Direct ly followed Black 2 and White 2 where this statement was made this was possibly an intentional hint at what was to come especially because in Pokemon X and Y it is mentioned by an NPC that Kus has visited Callos before we also know that Black 2 and White 2 take place at the same time as Pokemon X and Y thanks to a developer at game freak meaning that all of this is likely connected and this was like an intentional piece of foreshadowing these next few are still a bit of a developing story so we'll have to wait and see what ultimately happens when it's all said and done but given all of the connections between the Gen 5 games and Pokemon scarla and violet they are very compelling the first is that it seems to be the case that a mask from the Festival of masks could potentially be displayed in the nacine city museum in Pokémon black and white there is a mask on display here that says that it was once used in festivals which perfectly describes the Festival of masks from the teal mask DLC in Scarlett and violet and given all the other strong connections between these two generations it's possible that this could have been used as a point of inspiration for the DLC and in order to connect the two generations together given all of the crossover that they currently have and could potentially have if the highly rumored upcoming new univa game actually comes to fruition later in this generation another thing from the black and white games that seems like it is very much being used as a connection to gen 9 is the presence of possible teror crystals in Gen 5 we can see in the univa games that there are crystals throughout drift veille City that in terms of shape almost identically resemble the Terra crystals from scarlet and violet it's also interesting that these are in drift Veil considering that clay the gym leader of drift fille city has a daughter named Lacy who appears in scarlet and violet at the blueberry Academy again we will just have to wait and see how this one potentially continues to develop with the next games to know how big of a connection This truly is or isn't but as of right now it's still pretty cool this next univo one is really cool and it comes courtesy of an observation made by Tyranitar tube and his viewers so shout out to them in the nacine City gym in Pokemon Black and White the Gym's puzzle takes place in a library and in that library on top of one of the bookshelves a scarlet and violet colored book can be seen sitting next to each other which very much resemble the scarlet and violet book looks from Pokémon scarlet and violet now I don't think this is a hint or anything like that to scarlet and violet but given all of the Other Extreme Connections that there are between black and white and Scarlet and violet which I've talked about here and in multiple other videos as well I don't necessarily believe that this is just a coincidence either I feel like game freak has taken a good hard look at the univa games and has used a ton of content within them to inspire stuff and connect to stuff within scarlet and violet does that ultimately culminate in a new unit of a game being released in gen 9 alongside scarlet and violet we will have to wait and see but the connections between these two generations for one reason or another are definitely very strong regardless and those were the 20 things that I had to share with you in this video but I've also got one more bonus one for you to do with what you will this is a speculative potential connection from scarla and violet to the generation 10 games and obviously we have no idea what's coming for Gen 10 yet so this can't be counted as being legit at all but I think it's worth throwing in there for some discussion in the Indigo disc DLC there is a map that appears in the classrooms at Blueberry Academy and it also appeared in the review trailer for the Indigo disc the map seems to depict part of a region and it also doesn't seem to resemble anywhere in the terrarium at Blueberry Academy but it does actually resemble a map of the Netherlands just a bit specifically the southern end of the country now the Netherlands seems kind of random as a possible upcoming region but it does sit right next to the UK France and Spain all of which have Pokemon regions of their own so it might not be as far-fetched as it might seem at first glance for the Netherlands to get a Pokemon region I'm not personally convinced of this or anything like that as an actual hint I think we're ultimately just going to have to wait and see what happens but it is still interesting I'll give it that so I think it's at least worth a shout out and some discussion if you guys enjoyed this video though be sure to leave a like and let me know all your thoughts down below also be sure to subscribe if you haven't yet for more Pokémon content all the time and with that said I'll be back with another new video very soon until then as always thanks so much for watching this one I really appreciate it and I will smell you guys [Music] later oh
