Bro beat Elite 4 on the 1st day... 13 year old me would have wept

[@ryanwatchel9809]

13 year old me got ho oh in colloseum lol

[@yoshipilot]

Not who was going to tell you this but because of a bug, Paralysis does not improve catch rates at ALL in gen 2.

[@ashenwolf3846]

Severely underrated video. This deserves more way more views.

[@Sizzyl]

fr, I'm surprised this is one of the least viewed videos on his channel.

[@skyrusher12]

been watching your vids as a sub since you had around 400 subs... still criminally underated. vid was on point and the editing was awesome, yet another banger from chiken👌

[@Chiken]

Thanks so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it 😄

[@skyrusher12]

@@Chiken np, anytime

[@dwerical]

Truly an amazing feat to achieve. I never even did it myself.

[@benschiemer]

Remoraid can be caught with a good rod in gold during a swarm. If you only have the number of the fisher who tells you about the swarm, you can swap daylight savings back and forth until he calls you and tells you about a swarm. It’s not too tedious and saves you going all the way to kanto

[@Citizen5101]

It's insane to me that you caught all of the Outbreak Pokemon while they were at their lowest percentage chance. Using an outbreak for Remoraid would have let even the Old Road catch it. And for the other Pokemon they go up from around 1% encounter rate to around 40%.

5:33 "Low hanging fruit the Pokemon-" 6:33 "Low hanging fruit 2 was just east. Then nightmare fuel-" 7:27 "Can't be within 500 ft of a school-" 9:14 Chiken loses his mind and talks about the hit music group Smash Mouth before catching a Raikou and naming it Smash Mouth while singing All Star 12:31 Chiken gets angry at Remoraid "After calming down with my cats for a few minutes-" 14:56 "Trash fish, anger monkey-"

1: Rhydon deez Tauros and go through the Alola region :) 2: We know the joke 3: This one is true 4: Oh ok 5 and 6: Hahahahahahahaha- *cough* sorry

[@treinadorzard]

Bro... you deserved much more subs, amazing quality

[@TrevW92]

7:27 I understood that reference 😂

[@Sizzyl]

Congrats! I know firsthand how much of a grind this is. Also very nice storytelling.

[@JK-eq9kp]

amazing to still see this kind or project being realized

[@ViddysVids]

Ive always been a dex completer but doing it in gen 2 seems SO AWFUL. Not just the running pokemon and bad catch mechanics, but the PC boxes needing manually switched just seem so annoying. COngrats on making it through!

[@Custarddolphin]

This vid literally showed up at the right time lol I'm doing crystal dex in my virtual console 3ds and this helps me

[@ItsFireTiger]

I had a customizable Pokemon White where I completed the Unova Pokedex I caught most of the Pokemon on every route, waterway, cave etc... Then I caught Brycen's Cryogonal, Marshal's Sawk & N's Reshiram. I did an in-game trade to get Cottonee/Whimsicott, so I had to have 2 Petili's. I added in Panpour, Pansage, Snivy, Tepig, Tornadus, Vullaby, Gothita, Meloetta, Victini, Keldeo, Archen, Zorua, Genesect. I traded Karrablast & Shelmet twice cause they have to be oppoyeach other for the evolution to happen then trade again to get the other back. And I traded twice to get Gigalith & Conkeldurr All that was left after beating the League/Team Plasma was to go to the Shrine to catch Landorus, the Giant Chasm to catch Kyurem, evolve Zwelious to Hydreigon & Larvesta to Volcarona And like the Nuzlocker community, I had tons of Rare Candies to level up each Pokemon to make completing the Dex faster. But I stayed within the Games level caps as to not be overleveled.

[@TotallyAtopiaYT]

Now it’s time for gen 3!

[@Chiken]

You know something funny? I initially planned on it, then switched to just 100%ing Emerald overall, and I’m well over 300 hours into recording it with no end in sight LOL I’ve been doing it on and off for well over a year. Crazy how much content that game has.

[@TotallyAtopiaYT]

@@Chiken I know right! Gen 3 truly my favourite all games can connect and you need ALL games to truly 100% the dex I can’t wait for the video 👊🏻

[@jackashmore]

I’m 20 plus hours into my return to crystal. Trying to do a nostalgic play through first then finish up the Pokédex. Having togepi in my main crew reminded me how much I hate friendship evolutions

[@acehealer4212]

What a cool accomplishment!

[@GardevoirBoy]

Congratulations on completing your 1st Pokédex! Many of us Pokémon players eventually complete at least 1 Pokédex.

[@thunderrush123]

11:50 that one got me💀

[@Aubble]

I’m amazed that you decided to do this with paralysis instead of sleep and also without false swipe

[@rjante2236]

Even funnier considering paralysis doesn't increase the catch rate in Gen 2.

[@johnnuno5280]

Man that’s awesome bro !

[@phant0157]

Congrats!!!! Not even a living dex, thou... but congrats... Mew is fair game, imo

[@Leto85]

Congratualations on this achievement! Now, if you'd do it in the virtual consoles you can transfer up all your Pokémon to Home, including Celebi if you choose Crystal.

[@2-bit567]

Can this be done with a modded 3ds copy?

[@Leto85]

@@2-bit567 I don't know. I don't play these games modded.

[@Old_Hunter_07]

Wow, this was amasing.

Fun fact: ultra ball In this game is less effective than great ball.

[@hnavarro9504]

How did you go about exporting the diploma and editing it? Did you scan de printer version os screen captured it from the gb operator? I've just printed my diploma and you can barely see it, would love to do what you did but I just dont know how.

[@Chiken]

It’s been awhile, but I’m pretty sure I exported my rom / save from the gb operator and opened it using mgbc, then opened the printer window in mgbc and saved it as a png from there. If not mgbc, another popular gba emulator

[@DaivikOP]

CHICKENS CAN FLY!!!!!!

[@tonybrewer7536]

I completed the Scarlet Dex late last year. Its my first completion and I've been playing forever. Im just lazy...

[@oscarga99]

Man, I'd really love me some gen 3 national dex sauce for the next time

[@Chiken]

I've been working on fully 100%ing Emerald for over a year now, it's gonna be awhile before I make the video but it's coming someday 👀

[@oscarga99]

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that i've joined the challenge 🫵🏽😳 ​@@Chiken still waiting for that juicy gen 3 national dex spicy meatball, I'll be the first one to watch it hehehe

[@datguy3338]

Good video :)

Is there a way to SEE Porygon2 in Crystal? Is there a trainer who owns him?

[@mavrickindigo]

You didn't get Celebi?

[@Chiken]

No - while you can get Celebi through the VC release of Crystal, you can’t legitimately get it on a cartridge anymore.

[@jg2722]

Does this mean you got all 3 starters using only Crystal ?

[@Chiken]

I answer this in the video, haha

2:58 song name?

[@Iamthe1000]

its insane how underrated this channel is, it has the same quality of small ant, point crow, and other popular youtubes with like a 50th of the subs/views

[@nousername191]

-Wait, can't you buy Larvitar in Crystal at Lv 40? Wouldn't that have been better assuming he had the money?- Wait, never mind, I never saw Larvitar's price in Crystal, that is expensive.

[@KyleJames860]

I completed one for Pokémon Crystal. I wish I had a Pokédex printer back then

[@SirToastyToes]

Hooray I'm not the only one with a game boy printer diploma Teddiursa I bred rather than put up with in dark cave, and I ended up buying larvitar from the celadon game corner as it is much higher level than the ones in Mt Silver and requires less grinding Remoraid doesn't actually require the super rod. If you trigger a swarm of them it will appear with the Good Rod

[@Chiken]

yooo crazy seeing you here! I get your Pokemon stuff in my recommended every so often, loved the decoration and ribbon master vids!! I'm actually looking into a gameboy camera just so I have something else to print on this thing, it's a pretty fun novelty from the time period albeit a little limited haha. Yeeeeah, there was definitely a more optimal path I could've taken through this, and I've never even interacted with the swarm system at all so I was really confused when remoraid didn't show up after fishing for such a long time. Going in without researching too much probably made the overall experience a little more enjoyable, but some of the more tedious parts could've been less tedious with planning.

[@SirToastyToes]

@@Chiken you can always do what I did and make a framed physical Pokedex by printing out your entries :)
