According to Chaze the Chat, he created the rip a few days prior, around January 2, 2016."the nutshack theme but the first nutshack is replaced with me ending the channel": "...I had a Pokémon song that I had made, um, a few days prior. Uh, I think I made that, I don't know, on January 2nd." He says he was inspired by a remix by toonlink, which would be later reworked into the rip "A Secret Course (Anniversary Edition) - Super Mario Sunshine"."the nutshack theme but the first nutshack is replaced with me ending the channel": "For the Pokémon one I was inspired by, um, toonlink made -- he made a S-Super Mario Sunshine "Secret Course"-"Megalovania" thing, and... it was cool because it was cool because it changed the melody of the song, and it wasn't exactly a mashup, but it was, like, a kind of a hybrid between a remix and a mashup, and I was like, 'This is really cool.'"
Despite being one of the most popular and iconic rips, it wasn't reuploaded on the SiIvaGunner channel during the first wave of reuploads in April-May 2016. This was acknowledged by SiIvaGunner, who trolled the fans that waited for this rip by uploading a parody rip on May 30, 2016. The rip was finally reuploaded for real on June 12, 2016.Tweet by @GiIvaSunner; June 12, 2016 As with other early Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire rips, the word "and" in the title was later changed to an ampersand at an unknown date.
The rip was reuploaded again on SiIvaGunner2 on January 9, 2019, as the first of many rips reuploaded to celebrate GiIvaSunner's third anniversary (not counting "The Dark World - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past", which was briefly uploaded as a test). This reupload uses the album version of the rip, and does not feature the "op" or the image change."Battle! (Wild Pokémon) - Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire" on SiIvaGunner2; January 9, 2019
== Trivia ==
*Naturally, this rip is the first appearance of 7 GRAND DAD (as well as the specific sub-meme of "Meet the Flintstones" and the character of Grand Dad) and "Gangnam Style" on the channel. It is also the first rip to feature a melody change.
*Several of the earliest GiIvaSunner rips featured the background image changing with the melody, from the appropriate game logo to a picture related to the rip's joke. This rip is the only one that retained this feature after being reuploaded to the SiIvaGunner channel, most likely due to its important place in SiIvaGunner's history.
*Until March 30, 2017,nice patch notes version 1.01 this rip was credited in Volume 1 to the placeholder name "Barney Rubble".
