More Secrets of the DS GBA Slot (Ft. Lockstin & Gnoggin) | Punching Weight [SSFF]

hey I'm Derek it's me Derek and we got a new camera at Black Friday and I got a new chair so things can look slightly different or worse or better by the way this is stop skeleton fighting hey I already put you on the spotlight for DS slot life with some of the craziest uses for the GBA slot on the DS which was only available on the original DS and the DS Lite models but robot the stuff that the average des enthusiasts would encounter in the wild I mean you probably don't have a piano attachment gathering dust in your closet but there are DS games that work with the GBA cart that unlock new content once the you might have right now and before we move on this video is brought to you in part by Nord VPN watch to the end of the video to learn more about offer code stop skeletons now let's get go of course the most famous use of the dual slot action was for Pokemon the fourth generation Pokemon DS games could interface with the third generation pokemon GBA games but link cables didn't work between these two systems so using the dual slots on an original DS or dsi was the only way to migrate your old GBA pokemon into generation for all you had to do was pretty much finish the game finish the main story and gain access to the Pokedex and then meet Professor Oak and then go to pal Park that's it to be honest here the last time that I finished a Pokemon game to completion there was a tight three-minute rap that named all of them it's pain free hey I'm a little out of my element here so I brought the brightest scale of bro Pokemon slot scholar of our generation mister Loxton huh what hello yes hi that's me I think yeah Loxton it's you Loxton wait that's my joke I choose you Loxton that's a bad joke anyway thanks coming on man thanks for having me on no dude thank you for giving me the time please walk me through this why is Pokemon migration from gen 3 to Gen 4 is so confusing so under normal circumstances pokemon live forever they are the most comfortable which is why you can find specific Pokemon only in specific places for the most part that is we do know that most species of pokémon will have their explorers migrating far and wide like perhaps traversing agencies or just cheer curiosity right and then you put the two games in the slots yeah and in the cenote region the locals have built a park specifically to attract these foreign pokemons likely to spruce up their region's biodiversity I don't know if you've noticed but suno is severely lacking fire types yes I did yeah I knew that I knew that I knew that totally he was testing me all right you I passed the test wasn't smart but anyway they called it pail Park and it especially attracts Pokemon from Kanto and Hoenn who were just released by their trainers and they migrated to all the way here and while they are in this park you can catch him and glitter on in Kanto they did the same thing biodiversity win did Pokemon becomes so complicated I mean it's just like rock-paper-scissors right cute maybe maybe if there were you know 18 different symbols with two variants each but anyway the Pokemon company even migrated rare Pokemon into your collection via special containment devices distributed at special events like this deoxys wages they just distributed Pokemon this way they didn't do anything else cool like the berry patch on the e-reader miss opportunity man it's a lot simpler than eating an e-reader and swiping some cards a couple of times or needing to plug your handheld device into the cable that's just dangling there at a store it's it's easier this way but to be fair the e-reader is a way dumber methods that's a point in my book but fine yes okay so technology and convenience finally converge on the DS so I can finally migrate all my Pokemon over right unfortunately no certain Pokemon ecosystems are permanently shut off from the rest due to pokey walls is the opposite of pokeballs they keep them out instead of in wood weight poke a walls this is the dumb stuff and a totally real stuff that I love real walls are not very effective against migration but the original djinns 1 and 2 as well as the new chain 8 all have super effective pokeballs in place I hope that clears some things up oh wait so you've been able to move your Pokemon up from every Pokemon game since 2002 until now well yeah well if they're allowed into gell are anyway otherwise you have to wait until pokemon home comes out so we're just waiting for Game Freak to finally figure out how to use the Internet it's 2019 it's fine that's fine and thankfully the other Pokemon GBA slot games aren't quite as complicated so I can take it from here thank you dude no problem and next time next time could we could we have our skeletons battle may be pretty funny all things considered hey we're stop skeletons from fighting not prevent consensual fisticuffs but thank you so much for explaining all that Loxton pokemon and would you believe it even the Pokemon spin-offs from this time also have connectivity with the DS GBA slot Pokemon - for example also works with the gen 3 GBA games but I like Pokemon mystery dungeon rescue team the best because it's one of the few games that had a tandem red and blue release on the GBA and yes at the same time there's a few things you can do with both games inserted into the DS but the main one is that if your Pokemon Team fates in one game you can use the other game to rescue that team without losing money or items well honestly there's enough hot slot action in the Pokemon verse that it's worth getting the DS or dsi ight just so you can transfer your team and utilize all the extra features that's enough Pokemon how about we change gears from Pokemon innovation to hideo kojima innovation with lunar nights and the boktai games boktai is a series of GBA games that have solar sensors built into the cartridge basically so you can use actual sunlight to fight off the game's vampires well you're supposed to use sunlight if you instead live in a place as luminous as Seattle in the winter you can cheat and just use a blacklight stay indoors by the time this series is fourth entry lunar Nights got released onto the DS they had to take out the game's expensive sensor but they got around this by letting you put the previous three games in the GBA slot yes this means that not only does lunar Nights use the GBA slot it uses the solar sensor on the GBA cards to restore different stats for your inactive characters depending on the game it's not necessary for completing lunar Nights but it's still really impressive but they still found a way to work in that tech and I want to give the game credit for actually mentioning all this in the instruction book which is a pretty rare for peripherals like this I don't know why they don't talk about it put it on the box how cool is that but that's not all you can do with boktai it also works with freaking Megaman battle work five double team which is possibly the most feature packed battle network game ever Battle Network 5 double team was the first battle network game to come out on the DS so it works with every battle network game that came before it which is seriously made there's so many Capcom was pumping out these games like was rabbits breeding back then it was just nuts but it's really want to highlight that this is a capcom game that works with a Konami game which like you can't cross the streams like that I mean what's gonna happen Mega Man's in Solid Snake's living together mass hysteria also apparently the soul cross that you get from boktai 2 completely breaks the game good stuff but this is just a small sampling of the games that work in tandem with other DS games plugging in castlevania aria of sorrow into dawn of sorrow makes a Mina doll appear in the shop which doesn't really affect anything in the game except for soothing my inner Dracula rage we all have it it's part of growing up it's nothing major but I owned these games for years I had absolutely no idea about any of this stuff and the similar bonus content for Megaman X Z Advance Wars The Sims and Frogger did you know there were so many Frogger games and they all work together to unlock bonus stuff somebody out there had a way better childhood than me what's up with these guys huh maybe you've seen these around at retro shops and as you can probably guess they are not actually GBA games but DS accessory packs we got the memory expansion pack the rumble pack and the motion pack I want to start with this one because it spelled PA CK which is how you actually spelled the word pack Nintendo the motion pack houses an accelerometer to detect motion and is use in exactly 1 game Tony Hawk's motion aka the worst rated Tony Hawk game until Pro Skater 5 came out seven years later I love how everything about this game is absolutely unnecessary it was released in November 2008 which was the same month as the DSi which if you'll remember did not have a GBA slot so the timing wasn't right it's a Tony Hawk game where you steer by turning the system and of course it has all the nuance of trying to steer a cow onto a halfpipe all my life to use this game with the title paddle instead on top of that even though we got all the accesses of motion it uses every button on the D for tricks plus you gotta tap the touchscreen to do specials I admire the Moxie but why would you make a motion game that uses so many buttons this game was made by create studios or crea there's no II I don't know who had a tough act to follow since handheld Tony Hawk games actually had a pretty good track record before this thanks to punching weight heroes Vicarious Visions I actually really like this game from a Garbo curiosity standpoint now but I think back then no one was really ready to accept the fact that the Tony Hawk franchise the great Tony Hawk franchise was in freefall the shocker here was the bonus game packed in Hue pixel painter this is a totally separate game it has nothing to do with Tony and it's a shame it had to share the spotlight it's a charming little game when you cover your little guy in paint and connect dots around areas of a map to bring color and light to the world it's like a hybrid actraiser and kicks it's cute simple way more fun than Hawks motion I mean this should have been the main game with Tony Hawk as the bonus seriously tracked on this game but for Hugh pixel painter but of course Activision wasn't the only ones to shove the extra tech into a gba cart Nintendo ultimate peripheral cartridges that are compatible with the whole slew of games like the Nintendo DS rumblepack this is like a throwback to the n64 era and it works with a surprising number of games 50 but I actually only have four compatible games and none of which are Metroid Prime pinball which is what the eternal pack was bundled with in the u.s. it works about as well as you'd expect and I didn't find it to be too loud or that intense but I noticed that all the compatible games I own use it differently and some don't use it that well it's weird that people were still struggling with Rumble and the mid arts but it's really good in games like parters and time where it helps with timing my crit hits and I loved how it pulsed to the awesome soundtrack of space invaders extreme though it did make me have to choose between playing with Rumble or the paddle and Tibet it couldn't have both alright so if you've made it this far in the video I got a real treat for you and it is the Nintendo DS memory expansion pack aka maybe the single most useless thing we have ever covered I'm punching weight you maybe didn't even know about this because while it adds an extra eight megabytes of RAM to the Nintendo DS the soul game that used it was the crappy opera based web browser two of these bad boys were actually released this GBA size one and then I half size one for the DES light in the US this one was only available online through the mail so this car is actually kind of rare but I paid 550 for it so definitely ain't valuable not you'd think that this would have worked like the n64 expansion pack and in theory it would except that the n64 and the dsr pretty different systems and the extra ram just wasn't necessary I guess not surprisingly the homebrew community found the most useful though as far as I can tell the only true game that can use the official Nintendo memory expansion pack is the homebrew of quake 1 and even there it's optional some third-party expansion packs are produced that are used for homebrew applications but in terms of the official cart that's about it and for the record we could have bought BDS browser for this video but then I would have had it actually use for this thing and no not listen I have in my GBA collection a truly completely useless object and I wouldn't have any other way the DES and its slot so many mysteries so much wonderful stuff there anyway thank you so much for watching thank you to our patreon supporters and you know what thank you to North VPN tis the season for bug hug matt nord VPN

I think this is the first Punching Weight that I can't even get through. Did this dude dial up the desperate Youtuber act or what?

I feel like I should make a YouTube series where literally all I do is edit down other YouTubers’ videos to strip them of their fat and only show the essentials.
