My BRUTAL Safari Week... [Safari Week 2024 Highlights!]

[@ThatMakuta]

I think the issue is that you're only encountering Shiny Chansey that have full stomachs

[@Gen3Hunter]

Shiny Chansey 🤝 Gen3Hunter Full stomachs 😊

[@SH_Lando]

I saw two shiny Chansey this safari week, my second and third one overall. I tried using the bait strat. on the first one but it fled first turn. When I saw the second Chansey, I was frustrated with the prior one and just threw a ball first turn, and caught it! I’ve no doubt you’ll catch the next Chansey followed by the next Safari rare you find. Good luck on all the hunts! 💫

[@coccodile]

@@SH_Lando yooo that’s so cool! you even beat math!

[@BroseidonLive]

Brutal is an understatement!!! Next safari week you’re gonna find 20 once it regresses to the mean!

[@darkor7107]

Honey, wake up the Gen3Hunter uploaded !!!!! ❤🎉

[@trimp9939]

I'm up babe

[@theredjalopy3884]

No but actually tho

[@dubbuster7977]

I failed a 5% Shiny Heracross on Sapphire this safari week. Definitely a bittersweet week for us all.

[@ronk475]

Glad to see you back in the saddle Mike! Sorry for such a tough Safari Week, but next year is DEFINITELY the year for Chansey!

[@KrokodilMitPommes]

Hey Mike, I'm really enjoying your videos, watched nearly all of them by now :) I used to be a shiny hunter back in the days, too (2010-2012), and watching your videos sparked my shiny hunting itch again :D Already got 4 1/8192 again :) I hope you are still hunting today since I really like the way you edit your videos and also your voice :D It's soothing, lol. Would love to see a new video soon, best of luck in all your hunts!

[@Gen3Hunter]

Hey thank you so much for your kind comment!! Im so glad you’re back in the game hunting!! Shiny hunting never truly leaves us does it 😅 Apologies for my lack of videos of late. I’ve been so busy with my IRL life. New job, wife, adulting is fun 🤩 Hope to have a video soon! I have about 20 shinies in a compilation I’m working on for the emerald safari zone. Waiting to release it until I find a Pineco

[@kenma4121]

found your account and love your videos, my favourite gen is gen 3 as well and i love shiny hunting in it because the sprites look so good. keep it up!

[@ek6878]

Love your videos dude keep putting them out

[@sangan3202]

damn you werent kidding

[@AverageCanadianStinky]

what a kick in the nads

[@MajesticPale]

That was a tough video to watch, I believe your next Chansey you find in the safari zone will be the one that catches! It would be an insane milestone too if somehow this hunt goes to 1 million encounters but hopefully you'll get it way before, Best of luck Mike on your other hunts!

[@IvePetThatPokemon]

What an insanely brutal week! I hope next year treats you better!

[@legendarysupersaiyan3811]

About time you return ❤

[@HallowPena19]

The GOAT has returned!!

[@tagiv]

Oh man, that was rough, I'm with you, it'll all regress to the mean, good luck with your new emerald copies

[@LeafsLegend]

Sorry for your tough luck this Safari Week Mike! However, at least you got to see another Chansey shine as you mentioned. One of these days the bait strat WILL work and all these fails will make the re-claim that much better!

[@electronix259]

Hell man, with those phases, 2025 better be chalk full of shinies

[@pelicanvisionstudios3487]

Legendary

[@yommmrr]

Its hard to like a video like this but..... for the algorithm mike , for the algorithm.

[@pokeplatano8340]

Bro wtf man frl frl frl you got it bro 🎉❤

[@coccodile]

my safari week was surreal, a shiny starly in brilliant diamond, then an oddish fail (it was my fault too, i ran away) and a reclaim of the oddish at the last second on the last day of the week… wild

[@AbstractShinies]

been anticipating this upload and its finally here!🎉

[@wrath5420]

One of the most painful safari week i've seen, hope the next one will go better !

[@carbonatedblood645]

12 systems is crazy haha. If anyone deserves the shiny Chansey it's you.

[@damianrogowski5519]

12 systems kinda ruins the fun for me , it just feel like 12 to 8400 not 1 in 8400.

[@PkMkPresto487]

I'd probably wouldn't bother bait tbh Hope your next one will be better x

[@kaijutamerpat]

15:51 I had this happen to me back in 2006 on my copy of Fire Red. I was rightfully angry.

[@slvttyc0rset]

new gen3hunter let's go

[@Archon...]

Next time you see Chansey ya gotta throw that ball and let fate decide!

[@TaintedNimbus]

That's certainly terrible, though your numbers are a bit better then mine in the Great Marsh, in terms of overall captures. I've only captured 7 out of my 41 phases here, having failed the last 20. Good luck on your next hunts!!

[@Somni-Majen]

My heart sank when the Chansey clip transitioned and I saw the number go to 36,000. Man that stinks

[@poketronex]

Technically under odds as it's 3,000 encounters per system, and the extra systems don't make it 12/8192, but 12/98304

[@JoJ333]

Grats on the shiny finds! Got a question, how do your GameCube captures look so good? They look indistinguishable from a ds capcard’s quality

[@kotesmcgotes]

This year I finally got an encounter in the Great Marsh, a Skorupi, that ran after one ball. Even though its a little disappointing, I can finally say I failed a shiny during Safari Week. Here's to better luck next year!

[@AverageCanadianStinky]

shiny in safari zone fleeing D:

[@noituna]

GOT MY FIRST SAFARI SHINY THIS TIME! SHINY GIRAFARIG IN HG ❤ AWESOME VIDEO PER USUAL

[@excalibur493]

Can I say I participated? I just wanted to catch Chansey and Tauros in general, but I still haven't caught them...

[@thecrookedman6782]

Hey Mike do you ever plan on doing any more of the battle pyramid hunts?

[@dongreenwood3924]

Had a similar safari week.

[@zaksee3280]

4:43 the red part has an imposter

[@TheDubbedCasual]

Progression to the mean, hopefully next year doesn't hit you this hard!

[@jackmansmith6721]

Hey Gen3Hunter! I love your videos. I am currently gen 3 hunting as well. I have two Gameboy sps. One ruining fiery path on sapphire. I am hoping for a shiny torkoal but I will take anything. The second running victory road on fire red. There I am hoping for shiny Onix or marowak but again will take anything. Do you have any advice for me?

[@gahnity]

absolutely no shame in using the 3ds. i did the same! more systems = more shinies (in theory)!!!!

[@pelegthecynic9476]

Hello, Gen3hunter. I would like to know how you achieve so much patience, especially hunts that require thousands of encounters in one day. I’m Shiny hunting a full odds Tangela hunt, which is becoming tedious. Do you have any advice?

[@Gen3Hunter]

Hello! Make shiny hunting a background activity! Watch a show/movie listen to a podcast. Distract yourself and embrace the grind!

[@pelegthecynic9476]

@@Gen3Hunter thank you!

[@pelegthecynic9476]

@@Gen3Hunter Another question: how do shiny hunters get so many GBA SPs and legit cartridges? I assume they were saved up from when they were sold regularly?

[@switzcheez2]

Out of curiosity, do you use both 3ds and original ds capture mods for this? Every time I try to use my 2 OG ds and 1 3ds it doesn’t work. The 3ds always either goes black or flashes on the windowed display

[@Gen3Hunter]

Yup that’s what I used in this case! The flashing is typically caused by your USB ports being overloaded (the DS Cap card mod is very power intensive/draws a lot of power). Try moving around where on your computer where they are plugged in!

[@switzcheez2]

@@Gen3Hunter ah okay! I have them plugged into a usb hub, I’ll try plugging them directly into my tower tonight when I’m working on my Platinum starter hunt. Thank you for the tip!

[@switzcheez2]

@@Gen3Hunter I just tested it out, switched my OG ds only to the USB hub with my keyboard and mouse. And my 3DS is working perfectly directly off the pc with my OG DS systems running too. Can finally 3x hunt ds with capture

Found a shiny scyther and it ran away, i don’t know why i didn’t think of creating a save state 😭

emulators 🤮

Sorry babe, I can’t come to bed. Gen3Hunter posted a new video.

[@1MysteryMike]

Are you able to trade your pokemon off of your Leaf green from your 3ds?

[@Gen3Hunter]

Yup! You have to use GodMode9 (I quickly mentioned this). You can’t use Checkpoint to backup/restore GBA files

[@dribbelkonig4762]

Bad luck sorry for you

[@WarriorX16]

The math will even it out soon, I just know it!

why japanese

Why not 🙀

[@hamburgerhelper5230]

Japanese cartridge is cheaper, and plus pokémon name in Japanese is more badass

[@genjama]

For the love of pokemon just throw the ball, its chansey.

[@yommmrr]

You gotta play the odds games as hard as it is.

[@samfsad9041]

That logic of regressing to the mean meaning you're "due" for a short phase isn't actually mathematically accurate. The odds for each phase taking a certain length are independent of any other phase. Over a long enough (infinite) time scale things will regress to the mean, yes, but that's because you're dealing with an infinite number of tries at the odds for the phase length, making the effect any individual phase have no effect what so ever on the whole. A long phase absolutely does not mean that a short phase is due. I know you probably understand this already and are just making a joke, but I do see people falling into this logical fallacy surprisingly often unfortunately.
