How QUICKLY Can You Complete Professor Oak's Challenge in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl?

It's about time we got back to the Oak Challenge! But to make it more difficult, let's put a time limit on it. People have been doing the 100 Hours challenge as of late, so why not integrate it and see if I can complete the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Professor Oak's Challenge in less than 100 hours. Hope you've got a meal and a beverage because this is a long one.

So much effort in your videos proud of how far you have came keep it up 👍

[@zachhoward9984]

I feel like its a must to comment on this video for the simple fact that this man literally set six hour alarms in his sleep schedule to get up for close to 200 times for honey tree encounters insane bravo

[@syndere6755]

I decided it was a good idea to use a Heracross in my BDSP playthrough. The one I eventually got was Atk+ Nature, and Guts. Dude's a beast.

[@blakesmith5546]

I was playing blaze black and got one with Moxie and ev trained him in attack and speed and he was a beast. Total sweeper

[@hereonly2comment]

Same here!!! The problem is it took me like 3 weeks of checking honey trees and I didn’t want to play the game anymore once I finally found it oops

[@TheSpeedyPotato]

I’m not nearly as creative… I just use Garchomp with substitute and swords dance…

[@masonkline2644]

How long did it take you

[@syndere6755]

@@masonkline2644 I had been trying to get it basically since I got honey, and it took I want to say a month

[@tallmills]

26:10 honestly, I think this was a precursor to the classic mobile game daily login; force you to check in on the game in order to play it optimally on a set schedule (6 hours instead of 24), except Game Freak had no way to monetize it like mobile games do nowadays.

[@nobodyatall1979]

Imagine how chaotic a randomised oak challenge would be.

[@matthewlacey4198]

Christ that'd be infuriating to play, you just know for a fact you'd end up with a non evolving pokemon like Pinsir as one of your last ones, can't evolve something into it or breed to get one

[@TheJoshCGaymer]

Loved this play through and thank you for linking the strategy guild so we can all give them ok. I really do enjoy these Professor Oak challenges as it brings new life in to the games!

[@hman5992]

[@LordRegenerator]

This is actually one of the challenges I've been waiting for. I feel sorry for chaotic when he goes for legends arceus lol

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

Oh no I'm actually enjoying Legends Arceus, I honestly love doing the massive amount of capturing and grinding in that game as early as possible (as seen in my two nuzlockes of the game) so it's not that bad imo.

I've been really lucky to catch the Premiere the last couple of POC vids and I'm sure I won't be the only one to congratulate you Sean this has been a really long road so far and you've really made it your own so well done! But I feel for you when you have to tackle...*shudder* Poké Pelago again eventually 😭

[@andrewpickett722]

The stall in time for the last 8 swarms forcing an "outburst" of sorts from our boy. Accurate 🤣 am I too far off in guessing this took at least up to 250 ish actual in game time or so without the save scumming? Getting to the swarm at the end I'm assuming would be a quick turn on, check, turn off with nothing else to do?

[@MekasUrn]

Fantastic video! I love seeing the POC return!

[@Torpadorp]

I was gonna ask how the whole thing with the PokeWalker Oak Challenge was going in terms of the diet and all, but the sponsor bit answered my question! You've been looking pretty good! Hope you've been feeling pretty well!

[@RedRingOfDead]

Ive been low-key stalking your channel since your last upload (playing 3 games the starter from 1st game can't be used in the 2nd etc.) Waiting for the next upload. But i found an absolute gem of content here. Thanks Meatball

[@rayquazaemerald10260]

No no for anyone else reading this. It’s any Pokémon he uses in one game can’t be used ever again through all the gens. And yes it’s a good watch

[@nesradub360]

Would've been cool if you'd added the three catchable Mythicals to this video since they are all available in BDSP right now. Ending the video off by catching Arceus would've been epic!

[@djwindex849]

I think this is the smoothest narration in any chaotic meatball video but we love to see it

Your dedication to reset the beginning of the challenge to get a munchlax tree trainer ID is insane dude. I am massively impressed.

[@cicisstormshelter1076]

Great video. I haven't touched my Shining Pearl copy much but I did get to defeat Candice and now have a team of Jirachi, Manaphy (Mystery Gift promo), Clefable, Garchomp, Infernape and Crobat at over Level 48.

[@ryanbusch2885]

I did my first POC in brilliant Diamond, largely inspired by a few of your videos. That early Psyduck and aipom took me a while but my final one was spoink which absolutely refused to show up for the random daily encounters at the end.

[@colemanente8535]

Love your videos!

[@TheAnalyticalEngine]

Can't wait to see your Legends Arceus POC

[@RD-tu1td]

Catching every available Pokémon and evolving them is good way to guarantee badges Haven’t played BDSP but I would think some Pokémon would be easier to wait because you used to find them later in the game at higher levels meaning level once and evolution

[@paledesertmoth6255]

Sometimes i think munchlax shouldn't even exist

[@dollenrm]

I would say next time something like that munchlax situation comes up absolutely do not reset just to technically do the challenge perfectly. I doubt most of us would seriously give a shit if you saved yourself 30 hours and the sanity loss of resetting after that much work just for a technicality. Unless you seriously want to do it for yourself and not the few people who will complain.

[@donaldtNS]

I have to ask having just done it myself: Are you going all tasks, all Rank 10s, or just catch 'em all for Legends Arceus?

[@FallenAngel2k02]

You could've also grabbed Manaphy from Mystery Gift (but it's gone now, so you can't anymore) breed it into Phione & now Arceus after having a completed save game of Legends Arceus And Darkrai by April 1st - May 1st for the extra credit

[@pokeperson1000]

Wait, an update after the initial release *slows down* the health bars? What the fuck? Did they think we found the slow draining health bars in the original games charming or something?

[@superlombax1561]

I guess so. And much like the original Gen 4 health bars, it didn't bother me a bit.

[@adam932110]

[@metleon]

I think this is the only game where you can get Mamoswine before getting to the Move Reminder. The snowy place is generally really late in the game, and you usually have access to the Move Reminder around the middle of the game.

[@donaldtNS]

It also happens in gen VII since you get Swinub (via Island Scan) in the Tapu Village and breed it for Ancientpower with a Smeargle (Sun/Moon) / L21 Kecleon (USUM) while the Move Reminder is at the Pokemon League.

[@bacd-nn2lg]

Professor Oak's Challenge will be differet in Legends Arceus, because as games main focus you will need to fill up the pokedex 100%.

[@magisterhelix8095]

You and johnstone should do a co-op professor oak challenge

[@trentwalker7640]

I wonder how you’ll do arceus. Just the complete version or the perfect version of each dex entry

[@awesomelink2347]

6:18 Actually, that's incorrect. Starting in Gen 7, you don't get a 50% EXP boost from Trainer battles anymore.

I feel like the listings of Pokemon near the end should've been done in the style of the PokeRap.

[@Ori385]

YES

[@jacobsouthern1678]

I love these videos but I do have to wonder if it would be any faster if he didn't try to get final evolutions before progressing. I feel like if he rushed through the game to unlock all the spawns and then went back it could be faster.

[@brunokrizan275]

the only thing im missing is nosepass probopass the thing isnt spawning at all its ridicolous that even after 4 months i still didnt get the nosepass swarm

How do you keep track of which mons are currently "Available" and thus are ones you need before you can move on? Evolutions arent too tricky, i could look that on bulbapedia, as well as ways to get evolution items, if need be But how do you make sure you arent missing any mons? Is it as normal as just doing some damn good research? or are there places to help you with that (IE: Sites for this challenge specifically letting you know the names of mons you can get before each badge)

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

It's just research and a bunch of people doing it and quadruple-checking each others' work.

[@ivanvaldez9323]

I know the pain of this POC, and I didn't even do it, instead I tried completing the National Dex, and it didn't take me about 2-4 months, it took me 6-8 MONTHS to get as far as he did. Please, for your own sanity I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CHALLENGE, but if your a masochist or you hate yourself, then by all means go for it, I'm not stopping you.

Pre-Gen 5 Sturdy simply prevented moves like Horn Drill or Sheer Cold from working.

That would be the Honey Tree ID Calculator, link of which is in the description already. You just have to reset over and over until you find an ID that happens to have 2-3 trees out of the 4 (preferably 3 so you have a very miniscule chance of it not working).
