622 - The Wonder Trade Gauntlet 2: Conquering the GWS in Shining Pearl

I wonder what I should type here

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Brief correction I didn't feel like going back and editing to fix: I say there are a total of 670 rare candies to be earned. There are, as you will see, actually 678

[@reixk1777]

Hey absol I have been a fan of your content for a while but I really want to use Pokémon bank you don’t have to but can you do a tutorial?

[@osteoidzold]

I unfortunately was unable to Rick Roll you this time as I neglected to get far enough in the game to mass hatch Piplups. But the next time you do something like this, I’ll be sure to get you.

[@mebreevee1997]

I would love to walk to burger king, with AbsolBlogs, and then walk back home again. That would be dope.

[@Panda-qi2in]

Are you getting scarlet or violet

[@AnthonyKase]

Unacceptable and irreversible mistake!!! Kappa

[@HappyFlareon1]

14:03 Recipient of Matt (Absol) the shiny absol here, I was at the stream at the time but don't remember what I traded out. I promise he has been fed, watered and ended up in my ingame team in Shining Pearl (and has long since become a champion) ✌

[@Potato15461]

Cool!

[@zappyzen5388]

Bro that’s awesome!

[@MagiCarson08]

Hey Matt. I wanted to say thanks to you. I was the guy who sent that shiny Jynx and that Umbreon. I had a ton of fun tuning in and trying to get you my pokemon and get some of yours. I got two Absol from you, I have them in Home. Thanks for the amazing content, can't wait for the Scarlet/Violet WTG!

[@driftingquill]

I'm super glad to have been able to help with the spreadsheeting, even if I had some irl events happen that caused me to take a break. As the hatcher of big guy the wooper, I am incredibly proud of my big guy. I can't thank you enough for all of the awesome content you put out. It has helped me through some really tough times.

[@etourdie]

33:22 One hundred percent. The pinnacle of knowledge for knowing every Pokemon cry. Very few people ever reach this level. This is a video where I push my knowledge of Pokemon cries to 100%, which is an unconventional thing to try in this environment. Because more or less, I'm crazy. This is the 100% gauntlet. I hope you enjoy

[@mulchmulchmulchmulchgang4life]

How you sit down and endure the entire challenge is a mystified wonder to me. My dude... kudos and props to you.

[@ketchup016]

Endure? It's fun. You should join a stream sometime.

[@suchalem6686]

You must be new to his channel. The lvl 100 gauntlet off of Magicarp was really tough imo

[@mulchmulchmulchmulchgang4life]

@@suchalem6686 That gauntlet must've been rough to do, it also seems really inconsistent with he differing levels of each magikarp

[@jameshyphenthekhrp]

The hypest sequel ever released. Glad to have caught this live and participate myself along with all of chat

[@TheNovaLeague]

The walking to burger king bit and the charity livestream stuff was really really cool. Love that this wondertrade idea has turned into a sort of series. Really good stuff. Love community events!

[@leodotlol]

these videos make my heart swell . watching you fills me with the same passion that i had nearly 9 years ago , playing pokémon x for the first time . thank you , absol , from the bottom of my heart . 💙

[@psyduck98]

Just wanted to say I love the positive energy you bring to your videos that still feels genuine and not some put-upon act I'm always happy to see your new uploads 💕

[@Pitrek1113]

If I had to guess, the Surprise Trades are called like that, because you can Wonder Trade while doing normal gameplay. Any other Wonder Trades from other games locks you in a menu or location.

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

that actually makes a lot of sense

[@misctopia6408]

I feel like they should've given Phione a trading pass since it's very specifically the only reproduceable legendary/mythical pokemon.

[@nckmccauley28]

I really do love the more long form content in this Channel. I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed.

[@ColeFam]

Oh man, talking about Pokemon cries really brought me back. One time I was on the phone with a friend when Gold and Silver had just released. I could hear his game and I kept telling him what he encountered and he started getting freaked out and asked if I was at his window or something. Ah, good times.

[@clorofolle]

I have never watched this youtuber before and I'm generally not a huge fan of gaming streams, challenges etc. But I gotta say, this was super wholesome and pleasant to watch! He seems super genuine in his enjoyment of these games (and his community) in a way I don't really understand but admire from afar. I'm surprised to say - I'll absolutely stick around! =)

[@lexidarling]

Had a long tough day at work, a 45 minute video in which Absol sings The Proclaimers is just what I needed tonight, haha. This journey was so fun to follow live, and watching this vid brings back some great memories of these past few months. Thanks for all that you do.

[@sammied53]

Thank you for showing off the roseate spoonbills!!! Those are some of my favorite birds and I always love a nice bird surprise

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

They're so cool!!! I drive 30 minutes out just to see them every nownand then

[@LazKoal]

Hey your channel is super cool and comfy and it’s really helping me thru a tough time in my life. So glad I found this channel. Thanks!

[@ronk475]

Another banger Matt. Blessed to be a part of it and blessed to see chungoose jr. take his rightful place on the winning team for once.

[@Loch32]

hello ronk from a year and a half ago

[@gamergirlblu5278]

I feel like that whole “guessing where a sibling is in pokemon based off cries” has a sort of nostalgic feeling as well as a wholesome feeling. You don’t even know they like it, but one day you can hear them playing the start of the game and over time, you gradually hear them progress. You don’t need to have awkward conversations about pokemon, but you have that silent understanding that they like it enough to get further into the game

[@GalacticWoodsman]

Matt I feel like you are Nintendo’s ideal Pokémon player; community, adventure and so much time dedicated! Always love the videos and great work on this one!!

[@impCPU]

i'm a huge fan of these longform videos, your efforts alongside your community as a whole really shine more and more every day! thank u for these videos dude

[@n0lain]

Awesome video, love the globe picture you drew :-)

[@floralhyperion]

So honored to "Raise Some Cane" with a feisty Meowth! I'm so glad to see the video of all the fun times! Can't wait for part 3!

[@Graze19]

I will Cherish Chun-li the Absol and the Maractus I took when we did Dynamax adventures, thanks Absol and congrats on this epic journey

[@joshuahowlett3586]

I've been watching your videos on and off over the years but recently binging your series has reignited my love for the game

[@ScottE-2]

It's videos like these that always make me come back to the channel. Informative and a genuinely passionate community working together in a harmonious way. It also shows how these games keep on living on far past its competition remaining timeless because, the ones you catch can always be shared with a friend you know or a complete stranger in need for a new friend. The editing of the vlogs themselves remains the most pristine I've seen out there. Never too chaotic and all kinds of both fun and memes striking the right balance. Love your videos, I hope you are well.

[@JustAlittleBitofClarity]

Every video this man makes I enjoy

[@typemasters2871]

If Grovyle was the last Pokemon instead of Forretress, I would have made a joke that it came from the future (Shout out to all Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers fans)

[@codenamehero0]

Hey, the pokemon I traded to you is in the video! So glad everyone liked Thiccagon-Z.

[@stonksrus]

[@Hydrugan]

Its always a treasure to see an Absolblogs upload in my inbox. Matt has to be my favorite Pokemon youtuber ever.

[@leek8656]

I have already memorized all pokemon and their pokedex numbers (though I’m sloppy with alola and galar), I have now been inspired to learn their cries now too

[@FrogMan1066]

I can't tell if you're insane or just clever, but I'm impressed to say the least!

[@shinytoblerown5008]

I love this delightful series! I know it's time consuming but it's a fun challenge. I also really like seeing all of the nature shots in the transitional scenes.

[@bitequation314]

As soon as the keyboard started up, I knew where that song was going and I was terrified.

First time watching your channel, loved this ride. It was full of laughs and sorrows, twists and turns. I especially liked the part where you got completely caught up in memorizing Pokemon cries because I did the same thing too as a child with Gen 1! Though, it was a lot easier back then because it was just like 40 cries pitch shifted up and down lol Congrats and great work on the video! It was thoroughly entertaining and fun and I'm going to subscribe because of it. Cheers!
