Notes / Corrections: I will always pronounce at least one thing wrong in each video, particularly Pokemon names since most of them I've only ever read, and never heard spoken out loud by anyone other than myself. Goes back to the whole trading-with-myself thing. This time it was Plusle and Minun, whose names quite a few commenters noted below, are a play on words for "plus" and "minus," and should be pronounced that way. Also, I should have mentioned that you can only transfer one Manaphy egg per Ranger cartridge, meaning that if you get the game second-hand, you better hope the game's previous owner either never beat the game, or if they did, that they didn't transfer the egg over to a Gen 4 game. Based on the comments to this video, it seems quite a few people actually did complete Ranger, but never got around to extracting the egg. So best of luck if you're planning on making a go of it nowadays. Also, a lot of commenters noted that you CAN access the Sinjoh Ruins with the event Arceus -- that IS true, but you can actually return to the Ruins once more if you've got the Hall of Origin Arceus in order to receive one more Legendary egg, and new NPC dialogue. Since the HoO Arceus grants access to new dialogue and an additional Legendary egg, I'd consider that unlockable content, but I guess a few folks in the comments disagree with that distinction. Potato, potatoe. Regardless, both Sinjoh Ruins events will be explained more fully in the upcoming HeartGold/SoulSilver episode.
