It's easy enough to set up. You just open multiple windows of VBA and it should just automatically connect to the one controller or keyboard. I can make a short on how to set it up, I'll make it and let you know when it's up.

For some reason my GB Operator causes save files to be unusable by PKHeX and Mystery Gift tool whenever I backup save files from the cartridge now. The save files I already had on my pc still work fine, but whenever I back them up from the cartridge it won't let me do it. Pretty sure the GB Operator is adding something to the files that disallows me to do it because PKHeX will say Binary unsupported and Mystery Gift says invalid file. Also the Old Sea Map just will not work on my file. I hit the override but it just won't add them. I got the English versions to work perfectly fine. I had to make seperate save files for each though unfortunately.

I agree. These should not be time-gated. Aside from mobile game stuff, I cannot think of any game series other than Pokémon where it is impossible to unlock an in-game event after a certain real life date from real life events at specific locations on Earth. I personally found out about these events even existence years after they already happened and ended.

Exactly, its pretty crazy when you think about it. "So if weren't at this place, at this time, with this game, then I'm sorry you are blocked from getting this Pokémon, even though the area is already coded into the game. You new to the game or wasn't born yet then too bad haha!" - Pokémon Company It's even worse when you think they coded it onto all the other language games and never released an event for those countries. It's like what's the point lol

1:49 The strategy you describe here can still lead to failing a shiny Mew. Mew can use Metronome before it decides to use Transform, and I've even seen footage where a shiny Mew used Metronome 9 times before using Transform. Of course, every turn you risk a Metronome use is a turn you risk failing from recoil, Teleport, Whirlwind, Roar, Self-Destruct, Explosion, etc. What's the solution? Burn Strat. Burn Strat is a catch strategy for Faraway Island's Mew that transforms the stressful task of catching it intona trivial matter. With the peoper preparation, one can guarantee the successful capture of Mew in any Poké Ball by turn 7. This is the strategy you should actually use if you want to utilize the easiest way to catch shiny Mew. Burn Strat: 1. Use Taunt with a burned Pokémon at less than 12.5% HP. Make sure they have 82+ speed to outspeed Mew. When this Pokémon faints, switch into a Smeargle that knows Imprison, Mega Punch, Pound, and Metronome. It also helps if this Smeargle has 82+ speed. 2. Use Imprison. 3. Switch to a Pokémon with a base catch rate of 255. Ensure this Pokémon has moves that will not harm itself or make any of your Pokémon faint if the Transformed Mew uses them. Also ensure this Pokémon does not have an ability that affects the sleep status condition, such as Early Bird, Insomnia, or Vital Spirit. The lower the base Defense and Defense IVs/EVs on this Pokémon, the better (if you plan to use False Swipe later). 4. Switch to a Pokémon with either Yawn or Spore and a move to bring a Transformed Mew (test against 100 base HP and both 0 and 31 HP EVs) to anywhere between exactly 1 HP and 74% HP with or without a crit. I suggest a high level adamant Smeargle holding a Silk Scarf with False Swipe and Spore. 5. Bring the Mew to anywhere between exactly 1 HP and 74% HP. 6. Use either Spore or Yawn. 7. Once the Transformed Mew is asleep, at this point it will have a 100% chance to be caught - regardless of the ball you choose to use on it. Burn Strat removes any possibility of failure, as long as you calculate your damage properly and select the correct actions in the battle itself. This entire strat works because dying to burn gives you a turn to set up Imprison while Mew is still Taunted. Taunt lasts exactly two turns in Gen III, so this extra turn is critical. Orthros and I came up with this strat when he was hunting his Mew, and I've tried to share it with anyone who may not enjoy losing a blue Mew and hundreds of hours to an unlucky Metronome.

You say this requires a single battle video, but in reality that won't do you any more good than none at all. To guarantee new frames are generated each session, one should end every session by recoording a new battle video and begin each hunting session by watching the recorded battle video. Battle videos don't affect the RNG seed, they only jump the game forward to the frame you were at when it was saved. If you only use a single battle video and watch only that one before each sesion (never recording a new one before ending a session), it would have the same effect as not using a battle video at all. You'd still be unlikely to find repeat frames because of the variability run aways introduce, but it's better to be safe than sorry and just record/use new battle videos each time. Speaking of better safe than sorry, there is very little reason to only look at the painting on half of your games. If you are using multiple identical save files, you should interact with a Lilycove painting on each one of them before hunting. Stagger these interactions, as the frame you interact with the painting will determine the new seed for that session (if all games interact with the painting on the same frame, their RNG seed will continue to be identical and this will fix nothing). Additionally, there are paintings in the Lilycove contest hall that serve the same purpose as those found in the Lilycove Museum (but they don't require a drastic amount of points in a master contest victory in order to create/interact with them).
@shinyhuntingguide3 ай бұрын
Well I said one because it's using the runaway method, tbh you don't need to do it at all but I said it just incase people trying it, get repeated mews showing up and want to change the seed. I mean they can get a new video every time but I see it as a waste of time personally for this hunt. I do know that it doesn't change the seed entirely and just moves you to where you were in that seed but I didn't want to make the video too complicated as it's just a guide on how to get shiny Mew and not a break down on Emeralds RNG. The only way to guarantee a different seed is playing on a new game each time but I'm sure most people wouldn't want to do that as you need to complete the game to get to that point. When I referred to half the games I meant, you can use a battle video or look at the paining to change your starting seed on half the game, for example I did it on 10 of my 20 games, but again this is entirely optional. You can do it on none of the games or all of them, its up to you. As long as you start the game at a different time so the games aren't synced up in terms of frames, you should be fine. I just gave my recommendations that I used to get the shiny.

Question will a dead internal battery cartridge still be able to work with the colluseum bonus disc for shiny hunting jirachi I’ve been wondering about it since I still have a ruby version that has a dry battery
@shinyhuntingguide5 ай бұрын
I actually had a conversation with someone on Reddit about this. So from what I found out, the Jirachi is generated on the console (Game Cube/Wii) so the battery in the gba doesn't matter. The game cube has an internal battery similar to gba games, so that would need to be replaced if it runs out, otherwise you will see the same Jirachi every time. If you use a wii then it has it's own date + time built in so you don't need to replace anything. I haven't checked it with the colosseum disk but I can imagine it's the same way.

Hi, Thanks for the message. For the main events, all you need are the event items. In emerald, you need to beat the main story and go to Lilycove harbour where you can go to each area. I'm sure it's the same for RS and FRLG (Vermilion city). Using the method in the video, you can use English or Japanese games to get the items. I'm 99.9% certain you can transfer shiny english mew up to Home cause it doesn't check for language, only if it's been hacked in or not and technically it's a wild encounter hence it's legal. I plan on making a Shiny Mew video, so I will transfer my English shiny one in that video to show that it is possible.

@shinyhuntingguide7 ай бұрын
Yeah, this method will definitely work with the colosseum disc too, just make sure to use a ruby/sapphire game when hunting it. I 100% recommend this over corruption method. If you don't turn off fast enough, you could lose you entire save file (I know from experience) and if your using channel like I was, then you would need to complete the game again. With the GBA Reader you don't need to worry cause you can always make a back-up save and reload right before you get it. I was able to get it to just over a min per reset, what took the most time was the Jirachi cut scene, so it might even be quicker with the bonus disc. If you do go for it, I wish you much luck and lets hope its just as quick as this one haha.

@shinyhuntingguide yeah, I still have my OG copy of Ruby from way back in the day. Picked up two copies of Sapphire and another Ruby so that I could make a ton of Nutpea-Berry PokeBlocks to cheese contests (doing the Ribbon Master Challenge, heh). Thankfully, the bonus disc only needs you to have completed the first 10 minutes of the game (pick your starter, beat your rival and get the Pokedex). But, 15-20 minutes per Shiny attempt just seemed too time consuming. This method will make it so much better, lol. Thanks!
