Update on the Shiny Cyndaquil odds! I had no idea that "weather-boosted" spawns have an increased chance of better IVs (1/1728), so the ACTUAL odds of finding it were roughly 1 in 10,800,000 (1/1728 x 1/250 x 1/25) ...I still don't think I'm ever going to top that regardless LMAO

Wild Cyndaquil were Weather Boosted by the sun on his end, which makes the IV floor to 4/4/4 and brings the odds of a Hundo to 1/1728 instead of 1/4096. Final odds would be 1/(1.08*10^7) instead of 1/(2.56*10^7). Still exceptionally impressive nonetheless.

Fun fact! In Gen 1, Professor Oak actually does give you five Poke balls! Unfortunately the conditions are very specific, so its doubtful that many players did this. You have the second rival battle (can only be done before you get the Boulder Badge) WITHOUT registering a second Pokemon in your Pokedex. Once you have done that, go talk to Oak, and he will give you five of them. Also, in the English versions ofnRed/Blue, Oak's text from this event is glitched. It was fixed in Yellow. FireRed/LeafGreen is similar on the condition, where you just have to beat the rival on Route 22 or in Cerulean City, have no second Pokemon in your caught data, and no Poke Balls in your bag. Edit: In FRLG, Professor Oak gives you a set of five Poke Balls immediately after giving you the Pokedex. What I mentioned above is where he gives you a second set of five Poke Balls, which most people likely don't know about!

John one quick way to encounter the Johto beasts while they’re roaming (at least for me) is to use the radio. On days that aren’t Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, it plays Pokémon March, which increases your encounter rate while it’s playing. Then you put on a super repel in the gate to the west of Ecruteak while the radio is playing, and save. Then you go out into the route and bike until the repel wears out. If it wears out, reset the save and try again. If you find Entei, reset the save and try again. I’m actually in the process of shiny hunting them using this method, since whether or not they’re shiny is generated when you first encounter them. It’s a brutal shiny hunt, but it’ll be worth it

Hey, so just so you're aware, the reason the diploma didn't print well at the end isn't because of the printer, nor the game, but the paper. The GB Printer uses a specific type of paper, one that loses it's effectiveness over time. If your printer came with paper from the 90s, odds are that that's why it didn't work. It's a thermal paper, which like I said deteriorates over time, but it shouldn't be too hard to find some replacements on eBay, assuming you still want to print out your diploma and have it look good

Haven't seen anyone else mention it, but there should be a caveat for inserting Celebi into the game like there was with Mew. This is as Celebi can only be obtained by this method in Virtual Console Crystal or in Japanese Crystal through niche circumstances. I'm however certain that this was not mentioned as there is a guarantee that at least one person like myself would post this comment to aid with the algorithm boosting.

Geez, seeing you discussing the night time/daytime intended features hit me hard. The nostalgia of playing this game when it came out, and waiting until evening to get new pokémon... Those were the days.

I remember as a wee kid running into a shiny wild Quagsire- I just lied down in bed for a whole hour staring at the screen after it fled. I remember weakening it and just kept throwing ultra balls but it didn't stay put and ran away.

I love editing John as much as I dislike streaming John

Oh man, as soon as John said he was printing the certificate I knew what was going to happen. The old thermal paper unfortunately expires in the original Gameboy printer, but you can buy new paper and cut it to size
