Pokemon, But The World Has No Color

Shiny Pokemon... in a world with NO color. Now, how does that work..?
This challenge, everything is black and white. I only get ONE chance to find the shiny. My screen is completely colorless - and my goal is to successfully pick out every shiny Pokemon I can in the world of Pokemon Legends Arceus. And if I'm wrong... the shiny Pokemon dies.

This colorless challenge was potentially my favorite I've done so far in Pokemon Legends Arceus. Playing in black and white and shiny hunting was so much more challenging and rewarding than I thought, I honestly would recommend it to everyone. Also massive respect to all the colorblind shiny hunters... except I'm starting to think you guys might be having even more fun with the game than me LOL

Congrats dude i remeber when i round you at 5k

[@CrazyGreenFluff]

as an artist who's struggling to learn values in color theory, i would like to thank you, this video taught me that saturated colors are darker then desaturated colors. you may now mark this video as educational content :) (also this was very entertaining, i hope to see you in my recommended again!)

[@Rainbobirb3735]

Yeah this is great to help grasp colour values if you’re struggling. Thanks for pointing this out because i wasn’t thinking about art at the time until you pointed it out

Guess you should shiny hunt garchomp in black and white from now on

[@floqui3300]

I can for some reason because my trick is is the body red or orange? if red it's normal if orange it's shiny

[@RePowa.]

Something I only found out recently, is when you’re targeting a Pokémon, if you press A, it’ll swap which Pokémon you’re targeting.

[@dailynonsense9360]

I can’t see most colors, so it’s interesting to see what looking for shinies like this is like for someone else.

[@PhillyBeatzGames]

This is probably the scariest challenge ever to hunt shiny pokemon!! I love this concept so much!

[@starbxrst]

Sorry, but are you verified with only 1k? I didn’t know that was possible? Sorry if I seem rude.

[@lilysamvelian9970]

Start posting videos already please. You want people to see you, do you? After all, you are verified with only 1k subs, which I am shocked by because I thought only channels with 100k subs or higher could get verified. Again, try posting videos now.

[@feiradragon7915]

That Carnivine luck reminds me of the time I tried to breed for shiny Dratini in gen 2 and as soon as I frustratedly said "I just want a freaking shiny!" I encountered full odds shiny Drowzee.

[@AZ-je5tj]

Something similar happened to me with Legends Arceus, I was hunting a Pichu for my Pokedex and said to myself there's a shiny in this map somewhere and about 1 minute later found a shiny Kricketot

[@LTDextel]

That Silcoon eye color difference was great. Glad you spotted it. Cuz that's a great shiny

[@ConsumerOfBones]

I love how silcoon just becomes a little pumpkin in the shiny

[@MonakalizasArt]

This is so interesting! When you turn on black and white, what you're seeing is the Values of the colours, so in theory, a pink and blue colour could look the same if it's values match. That's what you saw on the Bunery, the brown and pink colour have matching values

[@jessestone7093]

This was really interesting, I would love to see a part 2.

[@ShinyDracozolt]

The madchad's back at it again! This honestly seems like a hella interesting challenge, because it really relies on your own color knowledge to accurately check just WHAT shade of gray corresponds to the sparkly friend...truly amazing.

[@theresivy]

never thought i’d see noki getting both extremely lucky and unlucky simultaneously while also going thru the seven stages of grief in one video and in black and white lmao

[@guigol_]

This is such a cool concept. I wouldn’t have been able to find as many shinies as you did with this lol (Also, if anyone wants to try this, in the ‘System’ settings on the switch you can go to ‘Change Display Colors’ and switch it to Grayscale)

The carnivine you caught was the same spawn as my first shiny of this game. I was doing a voltorb outbreak and happened upon the carnivine up the hill

30:26 The phrase "It's just a game" is such a weak mindset. You are okay with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing. You've lost twice. There is always something to learn, and always room for improvement. Never settle.

This is a really cool idea! I really enjoyed seeing the challenge of mentally translating the colors and saturation into black and white to imagine what the differences would be. Its a great idea to check with the other Pokémon in the area but its so hard to tell when there's nothing to compare it to.

The early gen shinies (gen 1-3) are often best on pokemon a few highly contrasting colours. Like Silcoon's eyes and Quilfish' split colouration.
