I Shiny Hunted GEN 2 Totodile on an ORIGINAL SILVER CART! (DTQ #1)

Hey! So this is the start of an unexpected series...I'm excited to go more in depth with my Dream Team Quest as the series continues! And GOOOOSH I wish I got my reaction to this. I will definitely have my reaction to the rest of the shinies I find on this cart!! Since I wasn't planning on making this into a series, I have limited footage of the planning for this quest, so the second video in this little series will answer more questions about my hunts, motives, etc.! So happy I have this amazing shiny! I hope you enjoyed the video!! I have a lot of other fun Pokemon videos in the works! (lots of huge shiny videos too, like alpha gardevoir, the (un)catchable poochyena and of course, a shiny male combee!)

Yes!! I love this!!! Stories like this are what motivates me to hunt in the first place. As a fellow dude who started with G/S 60 years ago and failed a shiny or two, I really look forward to seeing you reunite with the Shrew and the rest of this team! Something about seeing Gen II on an SP is so nice, even in W I D E mode.

[@PokeToT]

we love a good W I D E mode from time to time! thanks a ton, dude!!

[@AshRektum]

@PokeToT you guys have no idea how ironically funny this is to me, im about 800 sr into my totodile hunt and I always think about that when im switching the screens back & forth. I know it literally does nothing towards shiny odds, but I just think it effects how I would react to getting the shiny I guess ?? lol not sure how to explain it but glad you brought it up nonetheless

[@Mr362silent]

When he said "Broken human being like most shiny hunters" I felt that

[@TheSupremeRk9s]

this was such a good format I cant wait for more of these!!!

[@PokeToT]

thanks, dude!!! excited to make more!

[@BroseidonLive]

Wow this video was just a pleasure to watch! It had everything: cute poketoot, amazing under odds shiny on OG cartridge, PS2 showcase, Miketroid and Nils cameos. Simply fantastic! Looking forward to the next video of the series!

[@PokeToT]

thanks for that and for telling me to watch Trainer Nils!! it definitely inspired me to do this! can’t wait to do more with this series! this is so epic!! can’t wait to see what you’ve got cooking up!!

[@TrainerNils]

Those words at the end there was very heartwarming to hear, you just made my day man and I feel like I have to share this in some way. Good luck on your quest dude!! 🙏🏽

[@PokeToT]

thanks, dude!! I appreciate that!! absolutely loved your dtq series and i can’t wait to see where mine takes me!!!

[@markymark1562]

[@kitsuel]

SO COOL! excited to see the rest of the dream team

[@ItsPhantomFam]

Okay, 2 things. 1: This editing and style is fucking incredible. Legit thought this was a much larger youtuber at first. Excellent shit. 2. The fact that you have Forretress on your dream team is just immaculate. Greatest pokemon ever.

[@PokeToT]

thanks a ton!! yeah, i looooove forretress!! already found it, just need to finish the video for it after a few things! appreciate the kind words!!

[@ItsPhantomFam]

@@PokeToT Lookin forward to it!!

[@mercuryn8349]

this is the kind of stuff that motivates me to keep going for totodile, great work. I’ve been hunting it since 2018 off and on and i’m hoping i’m getting close to finding it. congrats!

[@PokeToT]

thank you!! on stream, we have a saying of “you have a 100% chance of finding your shiny as long as you keep hunting it” i hope your totodile shines soon for you! best of luck!!

[@willymcgoo4383]

You’re so funny bro I loved the editing in this video. I’m doing the same exact thing on my Pokémon crystal version and I got my shiny Totodile and now I’m stuck waiting for Zubat to sparkle. I’m gonna subscribe and follow you side by side in this journey

[@PokeToT]

thanks so much!! thats amazing! best of luck on the bat! im currently going for eevee and did make a video about my second silver dtq target, pineco!

[@TheeSurfingPikachu]

Great video!!! Love the retro vibe. Def makes me feel nostalgic!

[@PokeToT]

aww thanks!! :D

[@bootsgamingtips]

Shiny hunting and brawlhalla at the same time yep that's the Taylor I know lol. Good to see ya buddy lol.

[@BatmanBeyondBelief]

I love the og totodile colors too much to use a shiny. I had no idea you could transfer them to stadium! I never had that game. That’s sick

[@PokeToT]

yeah and some of the stadium shinies are crazy different!!

[@tapuchris3329]

Congratulations!

[@Galactoaster]

Congrats on this one, you've been on a roll with shinies recently. Don't think I'm gonna SR for the starter, but planning to play through Gold soon as soon as my battery retainer PCB comes in and I can get that soldered in.

[@savannah4522]

so very epic thank u

[@jordanmills5074]

Just hatched my first gen 2 shiny charmander while watching this vid! Cheers!

[@PokeToT]

incredible!! congrats!

[@DireWrath]

What a cool hunt! Finally did my first big full odds hunt during Safari Week in SS, but this might be the motivation I need to do starter resets in the gen 2 remakes. Great video!

[@PokeToT]

thank u!! that would be awesome! best of luck on your hunt!

[@Jdq99]

This was so fun

[@PokeToT]

thank u!!

[@redinstrumental7535]

[@Cobaltstarfish]

[@ArtByEeve]

[@PokeToT]

thank you! i am continuing, i made a second video where i found shiny pineco in silver! (very epic)

[@ScharfCast]

Been at this hunt for so long I got a story grab a snack My first soft reset hunt was totodile on crystal but after 3 days I switched to cyndaquil for 30 minutes and got it I was thinking should I do shiny's only and being young and this being my first major shiny from an old game I got to stressed out and reset and played it normally after awhile. Then one day I got soulsilver within 30 minutes of soft resetting I got totodile then I sinned again after awhile of playing the game i couldn't decide if I wanted to do shiny's only or not so I reset like an idiot. But the I said enough is enough I ended up reclaiming shiny cyndaquil on soulsilver now I'm on crystal trying to reclaim the totodile I lost from soulsilver thanks for listening and sick team

[@PokeToT]

That’s CRAZY!!! I love childhood shiny stories. Good luck on the reclaims, hope the resets are fast for you!!

[@ScharfCast]

@@PokeToT Thank you 🙏 I will try my best to reclaim it

[@magicalhobo72]

Congrats! Did they update the females to be able to be shiny in the virtual console for DS? I would embrace beeping with people honestly.

[@PokeToT]

nope! the females lose this battle! (also no beeping with people before marriage)

[@dj_justanotheruser_yt]

HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 4k subs

[@Onimyst]

Woah where did you get that Pokémon red t-shirt around 3:15?

[@PokeToT]

Pokémon center online!

[@PhantowlBH]

[@jhiquesarmstrong6583]

I'm literally on a silver Gameboy advanced sp currently doing my first shiny hunt and so far I'm up 400 soft resets for a shiny totodile on a silver copy but my first pokemon game ever was pokemon yellow I got in a trade from a friend in the third grade for a star wars game but it was worth it pokemon yellow got ne hooked on the games and about 3 years later I got my hands on silver and totodile was my first choice of gen 2 I lost my original Gameboy advanced and copy of yellow and silver but about 2 years ago I got me a Gameboy advanced sp a silver one and a nother copy of pokemon silver doing my shiny team hunt now I hope it takes forever so I can enjoy the adventure longer

[@jhiquesarmstrong6583]

I finally got my shiny totodile it took me exactly 1,249 soft reset I finally got my first ever shiny and now I'm gonna gather my own team of shinies

[@MarelWhite]

still shiny hunting cyndaquil....im probably at 10k resets

[@deshawntaylor9201]

I remember having a pokemon gold and silver cartridge and everything time I started a new save it always deleted it self.

[@xyddap]

You will have to replace the battery. Many videos on youtube.

[@LipsyVGC]

Yeah he pressed L ......

[@NotCzech001]

I strongy recommend saving your save file onto your computer, incase the battery on your silver cartridge dies

[@PokeToT]

i back up all my pokemon save datas! (i do a lot of shiny hunting)

[@NotCzech001]

@@PokeToT That's cool, i remember shiny huting a cyndaquil on my Japanese copy if pokemon gold only for the battery to die 2 days after i got it... I've been traumatized ecer since

[@Cj-wc9ry]

I shiny hunted on x and y and was gonna shiny hunt on crystal but honestly I do not have it in me to hunt in crystal anymore💀

[@rory-jw4dm]

How to get the custom id?

[@PokeToT]

i reset for the game numerous times until i got one i liked

[@rory-jw4dm]

@@PokeToT like make a new save file? Or reset after the save has been made?

[@PokeToT]

@@rory-jw4dm start a new save file everytime and check the ID and if its not one you like start another save file. rinse and repeat

@@PokeToT thank you for telling me, much appreciated

[@shinyhntr4878]

Your first target and you didn’t even keep count? Not a good start to DTQ man

[@PokeToT]

HUHH?? shiny hunters are allowed to hunt without recording and counting everything 😭 i counted and found my 2nd member live (pineco) still working on video.
