[@badhazen]

Note you can do this with significantly less games! Emerald + Leaf Green + Col & XD covers all version exclusives (or pretty much all, except Mew, Celebi, Jirachi & Deoxys). So you don't need Ruby, Sapphire and FR. Though I get it if you want them in your collection

[@ProfBrasher]

@badhazen For sure, like I said in the video there's definitely cheaper ways to do it I just wanted all the cib games for the collection haha

Yeah I think some other Poketubers have pointed out just how crazy the process to complete the gen 3 nat dex is......

[@ProfBrasher]

@DrawciaGleam02 Yeah it's known for being very challenging and costly😅 of course my favorite game that I wanted to 100% complete had to have the hardest and most expensive Nat Dex😅

[@pablodelgado7919]

I had great memories with Pokèmon Emerald and to this day is still is one of the GBA games i played since i was a kid back in elementary school. Still have to this day the emerald cartridge that my best friend gifted to me back then.

[@ProfBrasher]

Super cool! love hearing all the memories ppl have with Pokemon

[@pablodelgado7919]

@@ProfBrasher that's awesome dude

[@blubudubbel]

There was also the probably cheaper option for Jirachi with Pokémon Channel Great video man!

[@ProfBrasher]

@blubudubbel definitely an option but not necessarily cheaper. the u.s versions of pokemon channel didn't have a Jirachi. You'd have to get a Pal version which is pretty close to the price of the bonus disc itself and completely beat the game to unlock the jirachi so it ends up being more work for around same price. To anyone who happens to have a pal pokemon channel also note that you'll need ruby or sapphire to claim it as emerald isn't compatible with pokemon channel. And thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@blubudubbel]

@@ProfBrasher ah thanks for the clarification! I'm European so as a child I just had the PAL version as default. I had jus assumed the US version also had the Jirachi

[@ProfBrasher]

@@blubudubbel unfortunately not😅 did you ever claim the Jirachi as a kid?

@@ProfBrasher imagine me as a kid just buying channel for fun and after legit completing it, waiting the time i had to wait for real and not messing with in game clock(didnt even knew i could) and the jirachi just comes to visit... bro I yelled so hard my parents tought i was dying

I wanted Pokemon box so badly back in like 2008. That was the only game that you mentioned that I didn't have, I PalPark'd everything into diamond tho. Diamond Dex is complete Tho save for deoxys,,,

[@ProfBrasher]

@johnnessuno6515 Wow super cool you had all the others as a kid tho! Do you still own all your childhood games?

[@homebaked1731]

And I thought buying hoopa off eBay for my Pokémon x living regional Dex was bad. It’s reasons like this that I don’t ever try and complete a living national Dex in the games. I’m happy just doing the regional Dex and leaving it at that. Especially for generation 3. I just completed my living Dex for heart gold and even with transferring Pokémon from soul silver, diamond, pearl, platinum and fire red, It’s taken forever. Technically it’s not even complete as I can’t get celebi or mew

[@ProfBrasher]

@homebaked1731 Yeah this definitely wasn't easy😅

[@thefinalskarm1754]

Great video. RS are technically not needed as everyone has to play through Colosseum and XD for Ho-Oh And Lugia, and Meditite is obtainable in Colosseum, with XD having Lunatone and Zangoose. With the Roar glitch non players choice versions of FRLG will have them delete themselves from the simulation, you can tell if your version is players choice or not based on the startup having "presents" in the Game Freak presents of the startup.

[@ProfBrasher]

@thefinalskarm1754 Thank you! And definitely like mentioned there's cheaper ways I just also happen to be trying to collect every game so it was a 2 birds with 1 stone kinda thing lol

[@cynthiaobligeasmr]

Note on the Johto starters! They’re only in Emerald, not Ruby or Sapphire, so if you wanted all three without GameCube, you’d have to reset the Emerald save and trade them all back into Emerald. This is the way I did it in like 2018, and it was absolutely not worth the time lmao

[@ProfBrasher]

@@cynthiaobligeasmr Yep, way easier to get them on the GameCube haha

[@GaltarDude1138]

GameFreak not allowing you to transfer Pokemon from Gen1 and 2 to Gen 3 games really ducked it up for everyone who wanted to catch em all in Gen 3 😭

[@krohcid]

I recently bought an authentic cartridge to Emerald, so I wanted to get the most out of it by completing everything (including the Pokedex) I don't have enough money to get two gameboys, let alone the gamecube games. Instead I got myself an R4 card for PKHex to move around pokemon, evolve trades and to get all the events. I also used GBA Backup to make save states to obtain every starter without having to replay. Luckily I have every GBA game except Sapphire so I was able to get nearly every pokemon without killing my wallet 👍

[@ProfBrasher]

Love that you were still able to figure out how to it with what you had! authentic or not at the end of the day if you had fun that's all that matters!

[@krohcid]

@@ProfBrasher It definitely felt great to get all Johto starters! The rule I gave myself was, "If there was no way to get that pokemon, then you add it in" I only had to do that for Celebi and half Jirachi. Feebas was the only pokemon I was NOT going to hunt for hours Unlimited TMs and duping evolution stones after obtaining each was a good way to balance it.

[@krohcid]

@@ProfBrasher Anyone who says it doesn't count can take it up with GameFreak or buy me the games/equipment 😉

[@ProfBrasher]

@krohcid Yeah feebas can be a pain lol. I got pretty lucky and found one within like 10 minutes so it wasn't to bad.

[@krohcid]

@@ProfBrasher Oof, it took me 2 hours on Ruby to find the Feebas tile.

[@thepokemonqueen]

you could also get a jirachi from pal region copies of pokemon channel, much cheaper too

[@ProfBrasher]

@thepokemonqueen definitely possible, tho not necessarily cheaper. Pal pokemon channel ranges from $2-$300 CAD which is honestly in the same price range as the bonus disc. That and you'll have to fully beat Pokemon Channel in order to get Jirachi. And you'd also need a copy a Ruby or Sapphire to transfer it to as Emerald isn't compatible with Pokemon Channel. So unless you already own a pal pokemon channel and ruby or sapphire it ends up being up being cheaper and easy to get him on the bonus disc. Definitely an option for anyone who already has that game laying around tho!

[@thepokemonqueen]

@@ProfBrasher I think I got mine for about £40 maybe less, but it probably helped that I'm in the UK instead, I dread to think about import charges 😵‍💫

[@ProfBrasher]

@@thepokemonqueen Definitely lol

[@Numbuh_]

I did this about a year ago 97% legit, there’s a lot of fun stuff you can do with a modded Wii or GameCube to cheapen the cost yet still feels legit enough to me since ur using legit hardware

[@ProfBrasher]

Definitely, its all up to the player and what they wanna do. I personally would have done it 100% legit if it was possible but due to Mew and Deoxys there's literally no way to unless you miraculously had or found a cartridge that had a save file with them both from 2004 lol

[@theaccount27]

Between Pokémon emerald and the fact I recently found my old fire red and leaf green copies, I reckon I can complete the hoenn pokedex if I use cloning and glitzer popping glitches

[@ProfBrasher]

Let me know how it goes!

[@cleverman383]

So, with 9 generations of games to choose from, what made you decide to complete Emerald? Were there any other games you considered doing instead?

[@ProfBrasher]

@cleverman383 Emerald is my favorite Pokemon game so i wanted to 100% it. It also unfortunately just to happens to be the hardest and most expensive National Dex to complete😅

[@E_X_I_T]

Gen 9 is a walk in the park, it’s good to challenge yourself

[@cleverman383]

@@E_X_I_T Okay but that's just Gen 9. There's also Gen 1-2 and Gen 4-8

[@ProfBrasher]

@cleverman383 For sure, like I said I chose Emerald to do it in bcuz it's my favourite game, I'm shiny hunting everything, doing the battle frontier, the goal is to 100% the game. Definitely easier games to get a Nat dex in if that's what your after. Like Exit said above aswell the challenge in itself is rewarding once you finally finish it.

[@cleverman383]

@@ProfBrasher I enjoy almost all of the generations, so I don't have a personal favorite like you do haha. I do love the idea though of picking one game to 100% the same way you did! I just don't know how I'd pick it 😂

[@grydon6422]

You clearly have a different opinion on this, I, who has never hacked anything in any Pokemon game ever (played since Red), consider the flashcart events of Gen 3 completely legit, because they are literally recreated from the original code of the legit event, you actually distribute them through Mystery gift and everything is exactly as it was back in the day. Of course if I had Birth island Deoxys from the original event, the one distributed with the recreated event would not be anywhere near as valuable to me, but I wouldn’t compare hacks, and glitches to the flash cart and say ”pick your poison”; you could say that for the glitches and hacking for sure, but to me the recreated events are not considered poison and are actually *the legit* way of getting these pokemon again. Maybe that’s just me, but for context, as a kid me and my friends DROOLED for the idea to get to experience these events, but due to living in Finland, most of the gen3 events never came here and thus it was obvious to us we would never be able to. I literally remember seeing dreams how suddenly there was npc in Pokemon Center that gave me one of the tickets finally, and then being sad when waking up lmao. But I never considered hacking okay in these games, so despite how badly I wanted to experience the events, it was not an option to cheat the items in. And thus the items became these mystical relics in my mind how they were something rare and amazing, but I had accepted it that I could not be able to obtain them. That was until I learned about the recreated events couple of years ago, and looked into it and immediately, I was ready to get my hands on a flashcart where some of these events were and was able to distribute them and experience them for the first time in 20 years. And it felt *completely legit*. I don’t know, this whole 3rd gen event thing has been such a great experience because for so long it was such a bitter sweet thing, not being able to get them while appreciating the rareness of them, to finally getting access to them and even able to distribute them to one of my friends from my childhood too. Man, Pokemon’s great..!

[@ProfBrasher]

@grydon6422 Amazing story! I think in most people's eyes if it requires you to use 3rd party hardware and such it no longer becomes legit. Like you I don't use hacks or cheats ever this was a first for me lol. At the end of the day it's about the experience tho, like you I never got to experience these events as a kid so they were definitely an amazing thing to finally experience!

[@bosstasticus]

Btw are you an avid fan of gen 3 in particular? I’m looking for more gen 3 friends Also the glitches you were referring to (for getting Deoxys and by extension, Mew) are perfectly safe in my experiences. But if you want the closest to an “authentic” experience then yeah, use a flash cart

[@ProfBrasher]

Emerald is my favorite Pokémon game so definitely lol and yeah its definitely mixed opinions and experiences, ether is fine id just rather the safest option and as authentic as it can get lol

[@bosstasticus]

@@ProfBrasher LeafGreen is mine but admittedly, if I want to do any kind of postgame stuff, I turn to Emerald for all my needs Erm I would argue that glitching is even more authentic because it’s a feature of the game AND you don’t need any third party equipment☝️🤓

[@ProfBrasher]

@@bosstasticus LeafGreen was my first ever Pokemon game so I definitely love it aswell, my favorite of the kanto games for sure. Also true, like I said in the video its a pick your poison type of situation there's no legit way to do it anymore so its whatever floats your boat haha
