Catching ALL Shiny Shadow Pokémon in Colosseum with the Power of RNG

[@SertFilzon]

The pure idea of hunting for a square shiny tripple segment Dudunsparce in Pokémon Colloseum is just mind boggling impressive.

Will It Be Us? Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. -1 Thessalonians 4:17 It’s a question that often arises: Are we the generation that will experience the Rapture? We could be. But no one can say with complete certainty whether the Lord will return in our lifetime. Of course, some people like to point out that the word rapture isn’t in the Bible. That all depends. If you have a Latin translation, then it is. The term “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is the Latin word rapturus, from which the English word rapture originates. You can call it something else if you’re uncomfortable with the term. But it speaks of the event when believers, who are alive, suddenly will enter the presence of God Almighty. The apostle Paul described it for us: “We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves” (1 Thessalonians 4:15-16) Paul continued, “Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever” (verse 17) The Greek word Paul used for “meet” carries the idea of meeting royalty or someone of great importance. And when Christ calls us to Himself, we will meet the ultimate royal: the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Do we find a mention of the Rapture any other place in Scripture? Yes. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 24, where He said, “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming” (verses 40-42) Practically speaking, the Rapture means no death. However, it doesn’t mean that some won’t die. But it does mean there is a generation that will not die, a generation that will experience the Rapture. But if the Lord doesn’t return in our lifetime, we shouldn’t be disappointed. That’s because our hope is not in the coming of the Lord. Rather, our hope is in the Lord who is coming. What should be exciting to us as believers is not how we get there as much as where we are going. We have that hope. The Bible says of Jesus’ return, “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent” (2 Peter 3:9) We need to be ready to meet the Lord, because we don’t know what will happen next. But one way or another, we will stand before God one day.

How is one able to bring old gen pokemon to a new gen?

@@silverleaf1617 Old tools to transfer pokemon between games, there were always ways to do this, up to black and white, when you can transfer to pokemon bank, and then to pokemon home, which all modern games use.

[@zobblewobble1770]

gen1+2 could only trade with each other via link cable (until the 3ds ports). Gen 3 could transfer to gen 4 through having Gen 3 plugged into the GBA slot on the original DS. Gen 4 could transfer from ds to DS to get to Gen 5. Gen 5 could be uploaded to Pokémon bank to be sent to gen 6 and 7. Gen 7 could get To gen 8 and 9 through Pokémon home. Unfortunately Pokemon Bank be losing support In April. After this, early generation won’t be able to get pass gen 5 unless some bootleg options are available

The Way We Look at Things You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. -2 Timothy 3:1 Someone said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. A Christian worldview will affect the way that we see everything. And why is this important? Because we are living in the last days. Jesus Christ is coming back again. And if ever there was a time when we need to know our Bibles and have a close walk with Christ, the time is now. Describing the end times, the apostle Paul said, “In the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control” (2 Timothy 3:1-3) Paul went on to say, “They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly” (verses 3-5) Is that not an accurate assessment of the times in which we are living? The United States has never been more spiritual yet more immoral. We throw the word spiritual around a lot. But do we know what it means? We live in an age when we can write our own apps and customize our home screens. We can keep the stuff we like and throw out the things we don’t. And we carry that thinking into other aspects of our lives. The result is something called moral relativism. Moral relativism is the belief that there are no absolutes. There is no right or wrong. Moral relativism teaches that we are all products of the evolutionary process and not made by a Creator God. There is no devil. There is no good or evil. And there is no plan or purpose for our lives. Moral relativism also teaches that we are all basically good, and if we happen to go bad, then it’s because we’re simply products of our environment. It teaches that we make our own truth. For instance, if you believe in a God of love, forgiveness, and mercy, you can keep that. But if you’re offended by the biblical teaching of a God of holiness, righteousness, and judgment, you can delete that. It works out perfectly. Or so it seems. Moral relativism may sound fine in theory. But what if we were to put it into practice? Will a god of our own making be able to save us in the final day? Of course not. A biblical worldview says there is a God as revealed in the Bible, and the Bible alone is the authority and source of that belief. It is not what we feel or what is popular, acceptable, or perceived as cool. It is what the Bible says.

The thing with Smeargle's normal and shiny being swapped is interesting. It was actually swapped when going from gen 2 to gen 3, however Colosseum reuses Stadium 2's models. This results in the inconsistency you saw

@faith9505 Moral relativism is problematic, because moral relativism disables moral enquiry. Under moral relativism, it is immoral to act against the moral framework that the society establishes. Morality merely is what that society fixed it to be. This comes with some significant costs: 1. It means that there can be no moral evolution, as acting against the established moral framework is always immoral. 2. It's arbitrary. It's circumstantially dependent on what the society, in the moment of its construction, decided what was good. To arrive at the good is no longer a meaningful struggle that promotes our individuality. Instead it reduces the endeavor to a mechanistic following of orders. But these issues still exist if you derive morality from religion. 1. There is no moral evolution, because texts like the bible have already established all that is moral and all that is immoral. 2. Texts like the bible could have been different, meaning goodness was God's arbitrary decision. If we accept the bible as being moral code, then we should not question it. This is intuitive when we assume God loves the good, and wants us to be good. And we should also assume that those actions God loves are good, because they're loved by God. Both seem true, but dual acceptance fails to tell us what goodness is. In the first case, it is an abstract principle which God is merely consistent with. If we accept this, then morality may exist without God. Additionally, this view implies that there are some things- like the essence of goodness- that fall outside of God's jurisdiction, undermining God's omnipotence. In the second case, God is the determinant of goodness. If we accept this, then without God there will be no morality. So, we may engage in intuitively heinous behavior like murder. But God does exist, so we do have morality. From God's omnipotent existence, God may decide that what is bad today is good tomorrow; God can decide that murder is good. Does this make God a moral relativist?

Literally! This creator is insane, but I'm glad they have fun doing this. I would have never guessed there were shinies in this game nor how information is processed. Miss Colosseum.

Congratulations on the achievement! Great guide too. I'm thinking about RNGing for shiny Pokemon in Colosseum and will definitely use this video as reference!

Will It Be Us? Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. -1 Thessalonians 4:17 It’s a question that often arises: Are we the generation that will experience the Rapture? We could be. But no one can say with complete certainty whether the Lord will return in our lifetime. Of course, some people like to point out that the word rapture isn’t in the Bible. That all depends. If you have a Latin translation, then it is. The term “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is the Latin word rapturus, from which the English word rapture originates. You can call it something else if you’re uncomfortable with the term. But it speaks of the event when believers, who are alive, suddenly will enter the presence of God Almighty. The apostle Paul described it for us: “We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves” (1 Thessalonians 4:15-16) Paul continued, “Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever” (verse 17) The Greek word Paul used for “meet” carries the idea of meeting royalty or someone of great importance. And when Christ calls us to Himself, we will meet the ultimate royal: the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Do we find a mention of the Rapture any other place in Scripture? Yes. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 24, where He said, “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming” (verses 40-42) Practically speaking, the Rapture means no death. However, it doesn’t mean that some won’t die. But it does mean there is a generation that will not die, a generation that will experience the Rapture. But if the Lord doesn’t return in our lifetime, we shouldn’t be disappointed. That’s because our hope is not in the coming of the Lord. Rather, our hope is in the Lord who is coming. What should be exciting to us as believers is not how we get there as much as where we are going. We have that hope. The Bible says of Jesus’ return, “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent” (2 Peter 3:9) We need to be ready to meet the Lord, because we don’t know what will happen next. But one way or another, we will stand before God one day.

You are absolutely crazy for doing this and have 1000% earned my subscribe. You explained everything so well that I think that I could even do the challenge, and I'm also crazy enough to do it. The coolest thing for me is watching you get better at it. At the end, you were hitting all of those pokemon in the first few attempts. You call it luck, but we can all see the numbers. It's not luck after that much consistency; it's skill. I'm happy that people putting in the work like you find new ways for me to appreciate Pokemon all over again!

[@SillehRiver]

Yeah genuinely me neither lmao

[@faith9505]

The Way We Look at Things You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. -2 Timothy 3:1 Someone said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. A Christian worldview will affect the way that we see everything. And why is this important? Because we are living in the last days. Jesus Christ is coming back again. And if ever there was a time when we need to know our Bibles and have a close walk with Christ, the time is now. Describing the end times, the apostle Paul said, “In the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control” (2 Timothy 3:1-3) Paul went on to say, “They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly” (verses 3-5) Is that not an accurate assessment of the times in which we are living? The United States has never been more spiritual yet more immoral. We throw the word spiritual around a lot. But do we know what it means? We live in an age when we can write our own apps and customize our home screens. We can keep the stuff we like and throw out the things we don’t. And we carry that thinking into other aspects of our lives. The result is something called moral relativism. Moral relativism is the belief that there are no absolutes. There is no right or wrong. Moral relativism teaches that we are all products of the evolutionary process and not made by a Creator God. There is no devil. There is no good or evil. And there is no plan or purpose for our lives. Moral relativism also teaches that we are all basically good, and if we happen to go bad, then it’s because we’re simply products of our environment. It teaches that we make our own truth. For instance, if you believe in a God of love, forgiveness, and mercy, you can keep that. But if you’re offended by the biblical teaching of a God of holiness, righteousness, and judgment, you can delete that. It works out perfectly. Or so it seems. Moral relativism may sound fine in theory. But what if we were to put it into practice? Will a god of our own making be able to save us in the final day? Of course not. A biblical worldview says there is a God as revealed in the Bible, and the Bible alone is the authority and source of that belief. It is not what we feel or what is popular, acceptable, or perceived as cool. It is what the Bible says.

[@Hankful]

We will watch your career with great interest. Fantastic video; looking forward to more!

[@ImAlpine]

Man, that music at the end while they were purifying made me emotional. This game is one of my favorites of all time

[@Rigby_Illusion]

Wow! What a video. This is an excellent achievement & huge respect to you for sticking with it. Subbed!

[@rj_wow]

I've never watched a more interesting video about shiny pokemon. Using RNG manipulation in a game that was very much not designed for shiny pokemon inclusion and yet still had them, a game 20 years old, to get the most specific and rare type of shiny pokemon (with triple dudunsparce too my god). This was a blast too watch, this was the coolest thing from the pokemon community I have seen in my opinion

[@ggaboveaveragegamer]

As a Pokémon colosseum and XD fan I do not know HOW THIS HASNT BLOWN UP?! 💀

[@geraltofrivia4651]

I think it is starting to cause youtube randomly recommended to me

[@kylerook]

Your video is kicking up my dude

[@halowaffles]

I'm just now realizing I caught a shiny skiploom as a child. I never used/purified it cuz I didn't care to, so I thought it was just purple in the preview because of the shadow effect.

[@drpelliper5818]

Jumpluff is so good in double battles. You missed out

[@user-jg5vf8xm1d]

I randomly remembered this video from the back of my mind and realized how insane this all is. Your commitment and endless are inspirational. Thank you for your hard work.

[@THE12thSPAZ]

Fantastic video! I went on a similar rng journey myself a few months ago and gained a similar love hate appreciation for colosseum. Very impressive going for the phenec and pyrite shadows that looked so painful

[@Fangenstein]

For once the youtube recommended actually took me somewhere I'm interested in. Phenomenal vid. Liked and subbed o7

[@Arbeitsmediziner]

Can‘t even imagine all the work that went into this. Well done mate!

[@OwOKrieger]

Incredible effort. Thank you for seeing the grind through and Sharing the journey with us. Well done.

[@DLGNT]

I came from Reddit but this was a very well made and interesting video. Subbed

[@archdiangelo7930]

This game was my childhood, I love it, and it's great to see it getting such in-depth coverage in great videos even today! Hell, I didn't even know there WERE shinies in this game! Also, fun fact, this game made me love Bayleef, because I didn't know the other two starters were available, so I always took the one right in front of me, which was Bayleef.

[@lettuceleaf0_0]

Here’s to all the Bayleef enjoyers!

[@archdiangelo7930]

[@En2md]

That purification segment was PEAK. This video is so good. You should be proud.

[@PunaniTsunamii]

Absolute banger of a video, great work mate.

[@1xsandrax1]

This is a fantastic video! Thanks for sharing how you went through this and your playthrough. This looks like it was fun to do, and next time I play Pokemon Colosseum, I will be giving this a try! 😊

[@PURPLE_G0J0]

I hunted a shiny Flaffy in Colosseum, it is now a ribbon master in my Violet game. It took me about 3 months of inconsistent hunting to get and about 8 months to get all the ribbons! It’s my pride and joy!!🐑✨

[@StarzGecko]

Give this man a million followers because his video is awesome! 😎 I love Colosseum. Pretty soon I’ll fix up my GC and be able to replay it. Thank you for a great hour video!

[@ElcachorroYT]

What a great video! As a casual rng manip user, and also a shiny lover, I can say this was an impresive achivement

[@TheCommentatorguy]

I think the only thing more I would have wanted to see is the evolved forms of some of them, like the shiny Altaria would have been really cool. Hopefully now you may rest knowing what you accomplished is legendary.

[@trynnicus]

I did the full shiny hunt in about the timespan of a month last year on unemployment. it was rough, and I felt accomplished doing it but I wouldn't want anyone to think "well this might be a fun thing to do". This guy did it over the course of MONTHS and still has contempt for it. USER BEWARE. I had intended to make them all ribbon masters (not knowing what that fully entailed at the time) before S&V came out, so I had no idea about dundunsparce when hunting, but looking at my old file I have to say thank you for telling me what to look for on my dunsparce to see if it would come out 3 segment, looks like if I transfer it up it has a 1/4 chance of being 3 segment. EDIT: recently put on unemployment again, might start working on ribbon master for a couple mons

[@Nevve]

mad respect for this

[@Aimai.37]

Absolute dedication, nice one lmao

[@itsrin868]

you raised a good point comparing shiny aesthetic to unique ribbons and location

[@ChiefSlusher]

Excellent video! The amount of work and dedication is INSANE.

[@DreamiiAmi]

I’d love to learn manip for Colo, but for me it all looks far too overwhelming unfortunately. But it’s fun to watch and see how you problem solve through some of these Manips!!

[@ElysetheEevee]

That's how I feel too haha. I Shiny Hunt but no way to I have the patience or know-how for this level of witchcraft. 😂

[@razrv3lc]

Same. I’ve done RNG successfully once (for Arceus in BDSP) and even that was almost too much for me lol

[@faith9505]

Will It Be Us? Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. -1 Thessalonians 4:17 It’s a question that often arises: Are we the generation that will experience the Rapture? We could be. But no one can say with complete certainty whether the Lord will return in our lifetime. Of course, some people like to point out that the word rapture isn’t in the Bible. That all depends. If you have a Latin translation, then it is. The term “caught up” in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is the Latin word rapturus, from which the English word rapture originates. You can call it something else if you’re uncomfortable with the term. But it speaks of the event when believers, who are alive, suddenly will enter the presence of God Almighty. The apostle Paul described it for us: “We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves” (1 Thessalonians 4:15-16) Paul continued, “Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever” (verse 17) The Greek word Paul used for “meet” carries the idea of meeting royalty or someone of great importance. And when Christ calls us to Himself, we will meet the ultimate royal: the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Do we find a mention of the Rapture any other place in Scripture? Yes. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 24, where He said, “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming” (verses 40-42) Practically speaking, the Rapture means no death. However, it doesn’t mean that some won’t die. But it does mean there is a generation that will not die, a generation that will experience the Rapture. But if the Lord doesn’t return in our lifetime, we shouldn’t be disappointed. That’s because our hope is not in the coming of the Lord. Rather, our hope is in the Lord who is coming. What should be exciting to us as believers is not how we get there as much as where we are going. We have that hope. The Bible says of Jesus’ return, “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent” (2 Peter 3:9) We need to be ready to meet the Lord, because we don’t know what will happen next. But one way or another, we will stand before God one day.

[@greyscaleadaven]

@@razrv3lc The only time I've ever done RNG manip was using a Hoimi table in DQ9 years ago. God those drop rates on treasure map bosses are insane, it's like a 2% chance to get the best items practically needed for legacy bosses each time you defeat them. It's just shy of required to learn how to manip using Quicksave + Heal Counting in order to save yourself so many hours of time. I think you could also do this with the blue chests to get the very best weapons/equipment, but it had something to do with time instead? Very strange but interesting nonetheless. The manips I did weren't timing based though, so there wasn't all this advanced noise stuff involved as far as I knew (or maybe there was and I just didn't know at the time, would track with how many times I'd missed the target by 1 for some reason lmao).

[@realgod1002]

i gotta respect this. 1 year for 1 of the most insane projects i have seen in a while. the fact u went through this and not lose your mind 100% is very commandable. congrats on pulling it off.

[@GhandiJunior94]

now i finally understand why i never had a shiny in playing and completing this game over 50 times

[@KaiserJek]

I have been really interested in RNG manipulation and other things like ACE over the past couple weeks and am really glad I found this video. This is genuinely one of the coolest Pokemon accomplishments I have ever seen!

[@alecdejongh5008]

I needed an hour long video to go to bed to thank you KZbin

[@faith9505]

The Way We Look at Things You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. -2 Timothy 3:1 Someone said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. A Christian worldview will affect the way that we see everything. And why is this important? Because we are living in the last days. Jesus Christ is coming back again. And if ever there was a time when we need to know our Bibles and have a close walk with Christ, the time is now. Describing the end times, the apostle Paul said, “In the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control” (2 Timothy 3:1-3) Paul went on to say, “They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly” (verses 3-5) Is that not an accurate assessment of the times in which we are living? The United States has never been more spiritual yet more immoral. We throw the word spiritual around a lot. But do we know what it means? We live in an age when we can write our own apps and customize our home screens. We can keep the stuff we like and throw out the things we don’t. And we carry that thinking into other aspects of our lives. The result is something called moral relativism. Moral relativism is the belief that there are no absolutes. There is no right or wrong. Moral relativism teaches that we are all products of the evolutionary process and not made by a Creator God. There is no devil. There is no good or evil. And there is no plan or purpose for our lives. Moral relativism also teaches that we are all basically good, and if we happen to go bad, then it’s because we’re simply products of our environment. It teaches that we make our own truth. For instance, if you believe in a God of love, forgiveness, and mercy, you can keep that. But if you’re offended by the biblical teaching of a God of holiness, righteousness, and judgment, you can delete that. It works out perfectly. Or so it seems. Moral relativism may sound fine in theory. But what if we were to put it into practice? Will a god of our own making be able to save us in the final day? Of course not. A biblical worldview says there is a God as revealed in the Bible, and the Bible alone is the authority and source of that belief. It is not what we feel or what is popular, acceptable, or perceived as cool. It is what the Bible says.

[@Shaonia]

Having done a couple of RNGs myself, this video was an extremely entertaining watch. Bravo!

[@MayuraVyamsaka]

I really like that the shiny icons are different from the regular icons in the menu/in battle. I wonder if all Pokémon have different shiny icons in units game, for instance if they're traded over.

[@lettuceleaf0_0]

All ~386 have different icons for the shiny version

[@josie994]

this is an INSANE accomplishment- something i can barely understand but greatly appreciate you took the time for :') never thought i'd see this man!

[@dangshnizzle6929]

You mentioned the Japanese game, but there's the Jirachi from the bonus disc than you can rng manipulate with its own specific method

[@_Louis322]

Great vid, really enjoyed learning all this information about Colosseum and following your journey! I remember learning about shiny shadows in this game a few years ago and seeing the absolutely absurd number of resets people were doing to get them. When I saw this video in my recommendations I was so excited to finally see ALL of the shadow shinies!

[@imahaloguy]

Wow what an insane run. And so time consuming for you! Kudos for seeing it through. I was expecting to see the square shines in Shield at the end… are you now attempting to make them all ribbon masters too? Followup question, which Pokémon required the European copy?

[@lettuceleaf0_0]

I want to ribbon master them at some point but who knows when I’ll get to that. You need JPN/ PAL for all battle blink targets. Mantine, Absol, Houndoom, Tropius, Metagross, Shuckle. This will change if another tool is developed for battle blink with NTSC in mind. Then all versions would work

[@joshuakolton9955]

One of my favorite Pokémon games of all time. Such an underrated classic and not sure how we don’t have ports to the switch.

[@ToastNova]

Transfer Shinies in SWSH arent always Square Shinies? guess i got really lucky then

[@enrikosala13]

This video was an absolute banger man!!! Not to mention the intense amount of skill and knowledge you need to pull this off. Big props

[@sirshaxx6676]

Saving timestamp for later, you absolute genius 18:20 Edit: I came back. I'm still in this hyperfixation where I want to get a shiny shadow pokemon and make them into a ribbon master, and I love how in depth you went with all the programs used. I'll be coming back to this video a bit, and I'll update this comment when I do get my shiny Absol and Sneasel. Major respect to you for getting absolutely every shiny shadow pokemon, you are the goat in my eyes.

[@scoots291]

I still think square shiny is stupid

[@lettuceleaf0_0]

I honestly agree haha

[@ExpandDong420]

It's just another way to mark a Pokémon as rare (or perhaps more common with a lot of square shinies) so I'm about as neutral on it as possible

[@pokeguitaristjake6300]

I miss the days where Shinies weren't valued because of a Mark or Sparkle Type 🤷‍♀️ In the new games I just enjoy catching my Shinies in Apricorn Balls, or the Safari or Sport Balls I get from Cram-o-matic. For the old games, the color and unique artwork by the game artists of the sprites alone, make any Shiny way more valuable. HeartGold and SoulSilver is my favorite 1/8192 game to Hunt in because it has a large amount of Apricorn Balls that aren't limited, and has the fastest encounters in the Grass :)

[@saxor96]

I wanted a Shiny Heracross so badly for a ribbon run that, after way past full odds and still being unlucky, I tried to RNG manip it. It's incredible how there's zero noise between the PC and the fight, so you can do all RNG advancements before even loading the save. Got it first try that way.

[@the7569]

Another very niche super super well made video. You have made some of the coolest pokémon shiny content I have seen on KZbin. First the shiny starter from pokémon home, and now RNG manipulating every single shadow pokémon to be shiny? Genuinely so awesome, I love whenever you put out a video

[@seanlmaoo]

AWESOME video. this is one of my childhood gems and it’s so interesting how you approached it.

[@slimegolem]

Stumbled on this video today. Very impressive, especially the patience you have to have to catch all of them in a premier Ball. Great video!

[@rickyi3523]

This is a remarkably well edited and well narrated video. Fascinating watch all the way through.

[@Bscat100]

This randomly popped up in my feed, and was such a wonderful use of my afternoon. Congrats on all your hard work paying off!

I was trying so hard to understand but as soon as the mandarin came out I gave up, great video nonetheless and had to subscribe for the effort and time it took

This is one of the biggest and best Pokémon achievements I have ever seen and you should be so proud of yourself for this crazy amount of work

[@madim2855]

I hope this video blows up, the pure dedicating and time it took to complete this is really impressive. I also used to LOVE this game, so it was a nice revisit.

10/10 Amazing video connecting one of the coolest games in Pokémon history to the current games!

[@supernerdcal122]

Only just seen this pop up on my feed now! Absolutely stunned at your achievement, and very glad my battle blink guide served you well in this journey. The Pyrite town hunts absolutely floored me; I had written those off as un-RNGable for the longest time, and I'm so glad to be proven wrong. Phenomenal work.

[@lettuceleaf0_0]

Thank you Cal! You were a big help when I was getting started with this project

[@MilkLadsForever]

This is awesome. RNG Manipulation is incredible for doing things like this.

[@Cruznick06]

This is absolutely incredible. I'm just now getting into RNG manipulation as I've finally gotten the games needed for my goals. A dunsparce like yours is definitely pie in the sky. But something cool to consider.

[@teamrocket0065]

So cool, this is incredible ❤ I now need to see these go all the way to home or a journey update 🔥🔥
