in the Savannah biome, there's a rock formation that looks very similar to Pride Rock from The Lion King, which is definitely a reference because a male Pyroar spawns on top of it

This is more of a sad fact rather than a fun secret. If you synchronize with your Pokemon to do auto battles, you absolutely CAN knock out shiny Pokemon

If you use ogerpon against Kieran, not only does he acknowledge this, but THE AI ACTUSLLY TRIES TO SPECIFICALLY TARGET OGERPON

Clay is likely the one who put black agurite deposit into the terrarium, since his ancestor is a Kleavor warden.

two more things: if you ride close to the crystals in chargestone cavern on miraidon, it gets surrounded by the crystals' blue crackly energy (not sure if thats true for koraidon, i own violet), and if you dont put the bread on top during your challenge with crispin he comments on it being weird and possibly a "paldean thing"

10:06 Hydrapple is also a reference to the fact that Dipplin is introduced in a game where Gigantamaxing isn't available anymore, mainly because Hydrapple looks like a less goofy version of the Gigantamax Flapple/Appletun design in it's single-headed form.

Am I the only one who tried to push the giant crystals in Chargestone Cavern only to be disappointed they couldn’t be pushed like in the Gen 5 games?

Also after defeating Cyrrano as Blueberry's final boss, you can talk to him and he will tell that he has a house or property in Nimbasa City. Another Unova hint I hope. 😅

The new fly ability also allows you to glide indefinitely. Before, you'd glide for a certain distance and then you lose more height before the Pokemon would just drop out of the sky. It also fixes another issue. Before you could cancel the glide and on rare occasions, you can glide again but it was very temperamental. Now, you can cancel a glide and reactive glide as many times as you want until you hit the ground.

You missed a secret room blocked by crystals in Area Zero. You need to find a Tera Garchomp to unlock the room and it’s full of loot, but mostly Tera shards

Indigo Disk is such a love letter to Gen V, I absolutely love it.

The funny thing for me is that. My first time going to the area that looks like the nature preserve, I immediately found a shiny fraxure.

I think one of my favorite little secrets is in the Savannah biome. I think it's the stretch of land between the coastal biome and central plaza but there's a rock jutting straight out with a pyroar right on the tip. It's always there no matter how often I visit it, and I genuinely love the Lion King reference. Lion King was a childhood favorite so this tickled me pink with the sight.

As for Archaludon being "the only non-Mythical/Legendary/Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon with a BST of exactly 600", I'm pretty sure the intention is for it to BE a Pseudo-Legendary now. To those saying it isn't because "oh, it needs to have 3 stages to be one", I'll just remind them that the term "Pseudo-Legendary" is fanmade in the first place, and while Game Freak and TPC have taken over fanmade terms in the past, that doesn't mean they always adhere to the same rules we think they do. It's also just as easy as giving Duraludon a pre-evolution in the next games and it'd 100% fit the requirements. As an extra indicator that Game Freak considers Archaludon as equal to Dragonite, Kommo-O and such, Duraludon literally appears in the New Years mass outbreak-event as the Blueberry-counterpart to the former twos pre-evolutions. Archaludon is a proper Mecha-Godzilla to Baxcaliburs Godzilla.

Also, as for the "puppeteer" and "peachy" references in Kierans and Draytons dialogue, I have yet to reach that point in my Japanese language save file of SV, but that very well might be an English-only thing, and with Kieran very clearly being NOT puppeteered throughout the DLCs story, it's probably better to just assume that these weren't intentional.

I’m surprised Perrin didn’t ask us for that meloetta photo or give us that hint in game

I didn’t think to use Ogrepon against Carmine and missed that text but I absolutely made it a point to use it against Kieran

was it everyone's first instinct to go up to the top of the terrarium? because it was mine...

The Nature Preserve one is the best one for me. Haxorus is one of my all-time favorites, I knew about the Tera Steller-Type Haxorus but not about the shape of the island that it stands in. This is truly awesome!

This Unova talk you and other people notice about in the Indigo Disk makes me want to make local Pokémon tournaments based on the Unova generation and even include regional variants, cross gen evolutions and even paradox Pokémon connected to Unova in some way plus any pokemon found in the Blue Berry Pokédex to help celebrate Pokemon Black and White as a fun thing to do.
