HOW EASILY CAN YOU CATCH EVERY POKEMON? (The Living Dex Subathon)

Although I've completed a ton of catching challenges in the Pokemon series, I've always had the idea of catching every single Pokemon in one video. I decided to do a streaming subathon, where I had to either catch every Pokemon, or fail because the sub timer went down to zero. Can I catch them all in time? Today we're going to find out how easily you can catch every Pokemon. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

The next thing to surpass this is for John to get a Shiny Living Dex and it’ll become one of the greatest achievements in Pokémon history

[@ThePintocrew]

Nah I mean that’s gotta be THE video he’s talking about right?

[@vincentterlingen6110]

I agree, maybe not the mythicals

[@Golladan]

An all forms living dex also surpasses this. ETA: Although probably impossible given the limitations John set for himself in this run

[@creeperkelten]

I will patiently wait for that

Hi John i'd like to apologize for my previous comments 5:05, catching pokemon is super hard and 16 caught in 9 hours is really good!

I'm still not sure how did he had so little mons in 9h. For real, you can start any pokemon game and have more than that in 1h

I had an absolute (baja) blast watching this whole journey unfold live, and the final video result from it all is fantastic!!! You and the mods put on an incredible show for all this, and I'm so glad that I finally understand what the "frants" are that I kept seeing everyone talk about haha. Also HOW was that Foongus not shiny??????

hi Matt (Absol)

[@WhosAlx]

I'm jealous how you can compartmentalize all of the catching all the Pokemon to as few games as possible. I felt compelled to find every mainline Pokemon game and finish each individual Pokedex.

[@KyrilunaVTube]

Same!! I hope I don't annoy my chat when I do it on stream haha

John, this was not what i meant when I said I'd give you everything I had for Ultra Moon. 😳

[@iSnowbAlLxx2]

honestly this is so cool, as a kid i never had the chance to be able to complete any pokedex and now that im older and able to buy old consoles and old games i definitely feel the need to buy all the games and finally complete what i always wanted to do as a child, all thanks to this man right here named John, thanks for giving me the courage to pursue this dream again!

[@subjecttochange3338]

That first power hour will forver be one of the greatest moments in Johnstone history

[@radiocaf]

It was a huge honour to be a part of this, John, thank you for inviting me to cover the very early hours of modcast. This is easily some of your finest work, I can't wait to see what you've got planned next.

[@DraconoBlade]

your Pokemon catching videos are one of my top favorite things to watch. cool facts, funny moments, the satisfaction of seeing a huge challenge completed in one of my favorite video game franchises. I always put your vids on in the background while I'm working or playing games myself. this was a really cool project!!

[@HeyItsMayBug]

It blows my mind the amount of time and energy and work you put into these videos! So glad I started watching them!

[@XanderIsALoser]

You MADLAD! I mean, I already knew you were crazy, but this is well beyond the level of madness I'd come to expect from you. Congratulations on completing this epic achievement. The level of planning and mental stamina to complete this are astounding. You truly are an exceptional individual.

I love that the final Pokémon who screwed you over originates from a region based on... FRANCE!!! 😄 An amazing video and an absolutely incredible accomplishment. Well done 😊

If you think finding a regular Yveltal took a long time, I've been shiny hunting it in that game for four years

I could hunt it in sword and shield but one, that would require me to find it in Shield and go through it again on Sword because that's my main game, two, I've been stubborn enough to hunt it on ultra moon for this long so I may as well finish what I started

This was my first time ever participating in a Subathon, and it was really fun the whole way through. Also I got to make a lot of enemies when I won mario party in one of the modcast nights. Biggest W in my life :)

Have to say tho, it was a banging Mario Marty game

I wasn't there for the stream itself, so the explanation about the frants was hilarious.🐸🐜Overall, good job condensing 11 DAYS of events into a 1 hour video.

[@Megadaxo]

You know, I was literally just asking this morning when John was going to upload again. As someone who watched almost the entire subathon live I’m excited to see how this is edited into a video that is under an hour.

[@niklas6199]

Cherrim setting up Sunny day is actually benificial for you. Once flower gift is active you get a special defense boost for you and your party members, basicly negating the sun boosted damage by reshiram but also you and your party gets an attack boost

[@AjentVee]

John I’ve been watching you since the first professor oak challenge on your channel. I watch every video as they come out and I have to say watching you grow as a content creator has been amazing. Your video format is easy to follow and you’re an incredibly talented story teller. This is an insane achievement and I can’t wait to see what challenge comes next. I say shiny dex in legends arceus but I’m sure you’re way ahead of me on that!!!

Well done. It's awesome to see how basically everything can be caught solo/easily traded to newer games. As someone who rarely had trade evolutions due to being shy as a kid and rarely had pokemon from outside their respective games, this was fun to see.

Damn dude, well done. Quite the undertaking. Honestly surprised this is all doable in 260 hours.

[@ImpatientTurtle]

I thought the other day "I wonder if I could catch them all?" and after watching this its like after I found how hard it is to climb everest, Ive taken it off the bucket list hahah. Im glad people like you exist so that I can watch it though, epic video.

[@kingzerko]

This was a fun challenge, glad to see the video is done now!

[@cicisstormshelter1076]

I actually started my own version of this challenge: A chronological order catch-em-all where I have to catch and evolve all Pokemon in the generation they were introduced in unless otherwise noted. So I am going to catch most of the Pokemon Crystal Pokemon in Pokemon Crystal and transfer them to Home and then go through Pokemon XD and catch a lot of Shadow Pokemon, purify them and transfer them, etc. (I have a lot of games and XD because I was going for a ribbon master challenge but dropped it when I saw how difficult the contests would be. Used your sub-athon to grind out levels in Secret of Mana. You don't know how hard it is to grind until you grind out Level 8 Magic in Secret of Mana. X_X

[@Gameorama91]

Awesome job! Yeah I doubt I'll ever do a Living Dex from scratch lol. I decided I wanted one before Sword and Shield came out, and luckily I had files of older games just played through casually, so a huge chunk of the work was already done. Took a few days of trading and breeding to finish it up! Now I keep it up to date with each new game, the only pokemon I'm missing is Zarude, I missed the events :(

[@KariahBengalii]

I started my living dex when pokemon home came out, and this brought back memories lol. I got the mythicals I couldn't get in mainline games from pokemon go. Still, I'm not done yet. I still need Diancie. BDSP and PLA were great for getting Manaphy, Phione, Shaymin, and Arceus, though.
