542 - LIVE! Shiny Bulbasaur in Leaf Green after at least 2037 SRs! [IRL + Reaction Satellite]

My first shiny of 2021! Pokedex #001 on 01/01/2021! Found this while hanging out ringing in the new year with MrLetsPlayIt ( / mrletsplayit )
Also there's a bonus mini-gauntlet at the end of this video where I train it up to a Venusaur before Brock!

[@aiu941]

My friends: So what kinda music are you into? Me: ...

[@mrletsplayit]

I did NOT expect the first segment of the video to end up like that. You really capitalized on the overbearing copyright system, what a beautiful song. I'm so thankful I got to be there to experience this. Congrats blogs!

[@WillytheTerryMain]

pov: you have not been copyright takedowned

[@tigermoose]

the first pokemon in the dex is the first pokemon you get this year

Ivysaur confirmed Pixar mom.

Hot Rod is my favorite movie. Not sure why I’ve never tried hunting to it. I think you may be onto something. In any case, may your hammer be mighty and congrats on the bulbasaur!!

[@Jack-ig1nn]

The singing made my day. Beauty and power was on display today. Brought tears to my eyes.

[@Gen3Hunter]

Ha! Loved this Matt, absolutely incredible rendition. Cheers to 2021, hope it shines bright ✨

[@alibaba-dm1lt]

More people need to know about the "Boy flips over Shiny Ponyta" video lol. Congrats on the Bulbasaur!

[@buckwild181]

I’ve been a Pokémon fan ever since I was just a kid and I’ve grown up with all the different games up to this point. I discovered your channel almost a year and a half ago I’d say but you’re on of my favorite channels to watch on a consistent basis. I just wanted to say I love your content and keep up the awesome work!

[@cloudfinraptor]

This random little bonus stuff you make for fun, that's why I'm here. It's wonderful, always.

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

Bulbasaur is my favourite pokemon, so glad to see you got him shiny!! Kind of a shame how bad he and ivysaur look in XD, but at least Venusaur looks great! Thanks for the long requested level 32 gauntlet lol Love your content

[@thomassmith4273]

I wish I grew up with pokemon and had the dedication and patience to do all of these challenges. you've single handedly inspired me to pick up pokemon and aspitre to be just like you

[@thekoolkrab3226]

A distorted shiny hunt, I really wanna do that now

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

it's super cool! Would recommend, especially if you don't know what the inverted shinies look like

[@impCPU]

congrats on the bulbasaur!!! ^_^ watching your videos alongside other shiny hunters has gotten me taking steps towards streaming my own hunts! ty for always making such fun and entertaining videos n streams :]

[@DrowsyKirbs]

Did anybody else realize that the colors on the switch were high contrast the entire time.

[@mariahs6]

Yep, I thought he encountered a shiny Rookidee for a second until I realized the colors were inversed

[@Caz.Heisenberg]

How do you do that?

[@YourLocalTrader]

Yeah

[@sebastiandragotta5898]

No it was invited

[@DrowsyKirbs]

@@Caz.Heisenberg It's somwhere in the switch settings where you can change to colors.

[@mushy4128]

Got around to this hunt because you weren't streaming tonight, that cover brought a tear to my tired eyes. I cannot wait for the drop on Spotify.

[@icemen64]

Man as always, your videos are so entertaining! GG for the shiny bulbasaur! I actually found a Squirtle in 1235 SR's the 25th December for the first step of my Fire Red Badge Quest (themed around Cowboy Bebop, my future Blastoise reffering to Jet). Always cool to see some calculator bro too. I love how there's some gauntlet vibes and how at 0:49 it seems that the star is travelling between consoles btw.

[@toastymang0598]

What a beautiful singing voice :D

[@mariahs6]

Actually, I liked the cover very much. I hope you do more! ^W^ Congratulations on your first shiny of 2021! I'm gonna try to shiny hunt for Lunatone in Shield since I made my uniform number 337 :D It's my fave but amidst everything I shiny hunted for I've never shiny hunted it! Better late than never!

[@stratt6304]

The effort put into the videos you make is unmatched. When someone would usually just mute the audio, you go above and beyond to make an absolute bop. Keep up the good work man, congrats on Bulbasuar and I am looking towards the Crown Tundra movie!

[@arcanearts96]

I now fully expect that the Crown Tundra movie will be a full-blown musical. Lol grats on the Bulbasaur, Matt!

[@dominicsacoolguy]

Yay, another year full of shiny videos from one IRL with Mr Letsplayit! For real tho, that cover was fire

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

This was the only shiny I found this time haha

[@gamerdrippy]

[@BottleRocket11]

Congrats AbsolWalksPokemon! Definitely gonna pop this in the playlist to remind me to finish my Kanto starter hunts lmao

[@Dunkacciino]

I was wondering how you were gonna get around the copyright...I did not expect that

Back at it again with the quality content Absol gives me life

congrats on the new years shiny bulba!! also dang venasaur got a dumpy

[@flamingtorrent2109]

When you mentioned on stream that you had copyright problems but you’ll get it up soon, I did not expect a cover. Best twist

[@supkicks142]

My world perspective has been altered now that I have seen thicc colosseum ivysaur

[@FluffyGamer2005Ed]

You did good on this video! Keep up with the good work!

[@SolBlader17]

Alright when's the album dropping

[@starrycat1445]

Technically, the first shiny Pokémon I found this year was an Elekid in Masters EX! It’s not the main series games but it still counts as a shiny.

[@soto9128]

Congrats! Now ya gotta pray they don't take it down like they did with their other apps.

[@shinycollector]

Gonna watch hot rod next time I hunt, congrats Matt!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

It really is a good luck charm!

[@fango1450]

I first watched this video in front of my mom and we got to the cover part and she just stared at me like...what the hell. I thought it was great. XD Congrats on the new shiny though, Umbrella!!

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

Tell her I'm sorry she had to hear that LOL

Came for the shiny hunt, stayed for the singing

[@alkv7604]

Getting the like just for the music at the beggining (and the shiny, but mostly because of the song.) Really you sing very well even if its a cover! I cant sing good to save my life

[@Kpk43]

Cover was amazing. This is why I love you absol

[@KrowTCG]

Glad to see you got unarguably the best one

Love the singing! And awesome you were watching Hot Rod. One of my favorite movies! I have a silly question. I am going to be getting replacement batteries for my Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games. Did you replace the batteries in your game by yourself? If so, how difficult was it? Amazing shiny and keep rocking it with that singing! 💙

[@samdwidge]

Nice catch, not the best shiny gen1 starter imo but it's still great! Also super excited for the SWSH Badge Quest whenever that happens, GL on the hunting!
