[@mousekey-wt7wj]

"this right here is a giraffe" truly legendary commentary

[@ThePortalDark]

Fun fact: HGSS has a VERY odd event with Arceus cuz you can trigger the event 2 times. This is because the game has, HARDCODED, that you can get 2/3 DPPlat Legends. But the odd part is, the event triggers ONCE for an event Arceus, which was the way people usually got it AND ONCE for an Arceus caught in DPPlat with the Azure Flute. This means that it was ALWAYS intended for Arceus to be distributed on DPPlat, they just chose not to

[@AbsolBlogsPokemon]

You have no idea how happy it made me to see you use the term "standing in the odds" LOL This was such a great video!! Loved the way you presented the whole story of shiny Arceus and mixed in some extra fun stuff like the Farigiraf

“shaped the world with its one thousand arms” Shiny Catherine: I have yet to see those thousand arms buddy-

[@TRUEHATRED]

Yeah all you did was copy what she said.

[@mmlkshake]

i like the theory that the Arceus seen in game is just one hand or one arm of the one thousand arms because it's already canon it's just a fraction of arceus's true form and the idea of Arceus being part of an even larger Arceus is eldritch vibes and amazing

[@ShadowFox1412]

I like the theory that the unknown are the arms.

Oh man.. gotta say, your voice is very VERY soothing and calming to listen to at the same time it is satisfying how you bring the world of Pokémon to another level of engagement! I truly enjoy listen to you with the absolute best bangers of Pokemon OST's in the background! Thank you for all your love that you put in your videos!

[@noarinne]

THIRD COPY OF THE GAME BELIEVERS IN THE POLL WHERE YOU AT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've only discovered your channel a few weeks ago, but I've immediately fallen in love with it, with your humor and the atmosphere you give to your vids (and they've been helping so, so much in terms of soothing anxiety!), and you've been hyping up the Arceus hunt a lot so I was very much looking forward to it! Your editing is on point as always, and the thumbnail is beautiful! Congrats on conquering the rite of passage and on getting sparkly creator giraffe!

[@bradhaley8432]

You forgot to mention that you need to have all Pokémon caught in the legends arceus pokedex and you also have to confront arceus, and you have to beat the elite four in either Pokémon brilliant diamond and shinning pearl in order for the azure flute to appear in your bedroom in either brilliant diamond or shinning pearl,while still having the save data for Pokémon legends arceus on your switch.

[@TheRedSmarty]

Everything true you said is covered at 7:32. Only restriction that wasn't covered there is that you need to be Champion for the Azure Flute to work (not to get it) but that's barely a restriction considering how much progress is already necessary to reach the Spear Pillar.

[@ShinyCameron]

You don't actually have to beat the elite four since I haven't even got my first badge and it was in the bedroom from the beginning

[@bradhaley8432]

@ShinyCameron no offense then, but you must have a hacked game because that has never happened to me. I had to do the above-mentioned for the azure flute to appear for me.

[@TheRedSmarty]

@@bradhaley8432 You misunderstood my reply. I was saying that what Shiny Catherine covered all the true stuff you said, and then explained the only thing that she didn't cover (which is still different than what you said: using vs getting). Also, the other person's game was not hacked. Look at the video, the Azure Flute IS there on new saves. I personally got it around the 5th or 6th Gym (I'm not sure exactly when but I know it was pre-League because I beat the game a very long time later).

I actually loved how lore heavy this video was! I can see why that wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I personally wouldn't be mad to see more of it in future videos.

[@wanderingtyphlosion7332]

I remembered when I hunted mine a few months back. I did runaways to help with future poffin making for ribbon mastery. The biggest excitement was the test captures here and there. Instead of Master Balling, I wnated a Luxury Ball. I had a Breloom that was perfect. Jolly and maxed out speed made him faster than even Jolly max speed IV Arceus, one X Sp Def allowed Breloom to tank Future Sight and Hyper Beam on the same turn, and one X Attack was enough for False Swipe to outdo Recover. Ball number 30, I got shiny that appeared after 12k encounters

[@Unovakid24]

Being able to shiny hunt for the Mythicals of Sinnoh (excluding Manaphy) is the sole reason I'm happy BDSP exists

Same. I've got all the Sinnoh shiny pokemon excluding Manaphy. Don't have the heart to grind for it though. Arceus ruined me 😂

[@volch2991]

The reason that Arceus' entry doesn't quite match up is explained in Legends as it states it sends down an avatar of the god, not the god itself for you to catch

[@hazzard_destroyer]

16:27 “Let’s be Arceus” lol what a powerful statement to make

[@Birdthefeatheredone]

I have two theories on Arceus’s thousand arms. 1. Unown. 2. The form of Arceus we know.

[@typemasters2871]

I like how BDSP can be speed ran to be able to obtain multiple Arceus Of course to unlock Arceus within a speed run file you will need to have an already completed Legends Arceus file on the same account, catch the box legendary in each new save, and have seen every regional dex Pokemon For unlocking National dex, I suggest seeing what Pokemon you don’t see via mandatory trainer battles and have them in home or another save to quickly send them to the speed run file, save, then send those Pokemon back to be reused for the next speed run save

Sp.def: Best! Speed: pretty good. I am so happy to have this Pokémon. I'd like to thank Catherine for her videos inspiring me to persevere with this hunt in the event of this outcome.

[@josephstanley3172]

This exact arceus was my first ever shiny reset hunt, I sat down, put on the show i was watching at the time and went to work, within an HOUR i got it, honestly the best moment EVER, been playing since pokemon yellow with bot a single random shiny encounter so was such an amazing feeling, glad you joined the club! :D love the vids btw keep up the awesome work and keep being you! :)

[@SealFormulaMaster]

I'm not entirely sure Masuda wasn't being truthful. I hacked my flute in and it was really straight forward. He made it sound like we needed to play an OoT minigame or something for it to work, but no, you just have the flute in your inventory and go to the top of Mt. Coronet with it. It's more likely a bug prevented it from being distributed. I don't have my DPP copies anymore, but I wonder if you got the flute before doing the Mt. Coronet stuff, if the staircase to Hall of Origin would softlock the game and prevent progression.

[@delphoxhoopa7289]

The newer games have their problems, but I'll always find it cool how you can not only catch TWO Arceus now, but you can even have one normal and one shiny if you really want to.

[@HookersAndCoke]

If ya got both BD and SP you can get two shiny Arceus and then a normal from PLA

The fourth generation of Pokémon will always be my favorite. The first generation I really got in it. And it being released when I was in 3rd grade, there was so much mystery to it. So happy they expanded the universe with Legends.

I had a very similar experience :) got Pokémon platinum I believe during summer vacation after 3rd grade. Absolutely love that game and I was over the moon that we not only got the remakes but also legends Arceus announced at the same time!

9:50 "It finally begins" A fitting title after the lore dump. 11:35 What in the seven circles of hell were they thinking? Ah yes, shiny charm that make shiny appear more doesn't work in an area that would be best for it.

The thing about the Regis was that they were easy as soon as you knew how to translate braille, which the games had a decoder for in their instruction booklet. My biggest difficulty with the puzzles as a kid was catching a Relicanth.

[@c0mpu73rguy]

Wow! GG Catherine! I could never even dream of catching that one... Mostly because that would mean starting and completing PLA all over again on a new account and doing the same with BD. Since I already captured my Arceus.

[@CompleatedMagic]

Congrats, this reminds me of the time when I got Invincible in the Icecrown raid after raiding it every week for like 4 years.

[@mcqueendies]

Arceus is just such a special Pokémon. It in a lot of ways does feel like it’s truly _mythical._ I hunted my own shiny Arceus as well, and I made it a ribbon master as well, something I’ve never done for any other mon. I think because doing ribbon master felt right for a Pokémon as unique as shiny Arceus.

[@yanukisworld964]

I got a hacked version of Pokemon White 2 that my parents got from eBay and instead of getting a shiny Haxorus from Nature Preserve, it was a free shiny Arceus

[@ClackAttack2000]

I love Arceus and the shiny. It’s the only Pokemon I would ever put that much effort into hunting, and I did! I remember it clear as day, I was playing bloodborne on one screen and hunting on the other. After an early 2,764 resets, the golden boy was mine! I regret nothing and it’s great to see others appreciate Arceus too.

For reference about the odds, with a 1/4096 shiny odd you "only" have 63% chance to get a shiny with 4096 encounters. So the previous encounters made Catherine quite lucky!

I absolutely love the Intermission of Giraffe, it's very funny, need more Jumbo Also the third game took 408 encounters, that's very funny.

[@FrostGlader]

I found mine last year. By my calculations, I went 5x over odds (I don’t count encounters) for it on a single game. I did the hunt over the course of 2 months over 2 Years. Even worse, it actually nearly struggled to death. I’m lucky to even have it now due to that. Since then, I’ve also hunted the creation trio, and they were ALL way faster, including my Dialga that I hunted in _Platinum._ Giratina I found on the last day before Palkia, and I almost mistook it for my (non-shiny) Luxray (brain was running a little slow that day).

[@LagrimaArdiente]

Junichi Masuda, when computers and Internet were on the rise but still not quite household objects: "We should make this puzzle utilize braille and include many different instructions to follow in very obscure in-game locations in order to acquire low-tier Legendaries." Junichi Masuda, a couple of years later when more and more families owned computers and had access to the Internet: "Actually, playing a flute in front of some stairs that the player already knows how to reach in order to encounter one ultra powerful Legendary is way too hard."

I actually acquired a shiny Arceus in original diamond by using the DNS trick to get the Azure flute, and by using a pre-prepared scizore, a haunter and gengar, and both diamond and pearl.
