Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire, but I can only use SHINIES?!

...This may have been a mistake.
Since around halfway through the original franchise nuzlocke series, I always had the thought in the back of my mind saying "You know what would be absolutely unhinged and hilarious? If we did this again with only shiny Pokemon." and the intrusive thoughts won. So here we are, Shiny Only Season 2 baby!

Meatball there is a rom where u play as a gym leader call this gym of mine

[@JonVonBasslake]

Like Pandaman said, check out "This gym of mine" a fan game built using Pokemon Essentials, a RPG Maker XP project made with the goal of making the creation of fan games easier. It lets you run your own gym, letting you pick your specialization and help rebuild the city after the previous gym leader left and let it get into disrepair from gang activity etc.

I just RNGed my Platinum and the Cute Charm glitch is absurd. Once you get the IDs its just nonstop shinies. Enjoy your smooth sailing through Gen IV!

[@yaadmadegaming]

@15:09 There is a fan game called "this gym of mine" that puts you in the position of a gym leader fending off challengers.

[@katherynmyrick971]

Great fan game, surprisingly replayable

[@QuickSilverKitsune]

Amazing Game, and hilariously enough, you can easily cheese one of the 'Boss' fights if you pick Steel. Spoilers about the how below So, one of the challenges you can do outside of defending your Gym involves fighting a Trainer with a Level 100 Tyranitar. However, this Tyranitar ONLY knows Hyper Beam and Giga Impact, meaning it cannot 1 Shot Steel types that are decent level. Have enough Healing Items, and the right moveset, and you can dogwalk the trainer rather easily around Mid 40s

[@Bludgeoned2DEATH2]

Unfortunately the game was taken down by the Relic Castle DMCA by Nintendo. I'm sure you could still find it still but it's not up on the main site anymore :(

[@alexwhitby2541]

I totally agree that RNG manipulation is a valid method of shiny hunting. And I realise PokéTubers have schedules they need to try and hit so they can get vids out on time etc., but I always think it's a shame when RNG is used for vids like this instead out it being up to chance, seeing surprised reactions etc.

[@AvocadoTheBugCat]

At that point, just up the shiny odds to 1:500… and to me that’s worse than choosing your shiny

[@adamwalker3560]

Well, it really isn't all that surprising when you are intentionally hunting for shinies, no? It's more relief than anything lol

[@buxton23]

There’s plenty of other games to get those reactions for. It’s a nice breath of fresh air and it means we get a couple of videos quicker.

[@kyejuniorr]

@@adamwalker3560nah mate what you’ve said is bs, when you go for a specific shiny whether it’s RE’s or SR’s you’re more then happy when you find it, if I did this manipulation to hit a frame I wouldn’t be entertained in the slightest, may aswell just use a GameShark

[@jefferybaysinger2578]

but gen 3 is genuinely broken when it comes to their rng Edit: specifically the starters I guess is a better way to put it

[@ilovegarradors]

My guess is Lunatone learns Ice Beam because the moon is so cold. Allowing it to have another parallel to Solrock that is linked to heat with fire type moves.

[@WTPokemonToons-rk7ci]

Creative ideas, quality videos. I really like the way you build and use Pokemon properly in this episode.

before we even get there yes I think that cute charm glitch is a valid way to shiny hunt

​@@nesradub360It works in HGSS. Heck that is how I heard about it, I'm surprised it is in the Sinnoh games. Honestly thought it was some new mechanic in HGSS broke Cute Charm rather than it being a gen-wide bug.

lunatone prob gets ice beam bc the moon is cold and its counter pa rt is the hot sun

If use Shiftry you absolutely need to use the Solarbeam/Sunny Day/Chlorophyll route. Bullet Seed or Giga Drain is just not good enough. You need to survive the first round, but then it's pretty hard attacks later.

Are the GC games being skipped? I know Coll can be shiny hunted, and I know GoD does have some locks. Or is the order of the games getting shuffled around? Since Coll was grouped with R/S and GoD was grouped with FR/LG/E. I'm not sure if the GC games would be deemed as too much of a time sink due to the games' shiny hunting process and the timer limitation via the streams, but it'd be a cool bonus to see otherwise.

some shiny hunters have spent months....heh..heheh.....months....>.> thats how long it took....

[@TheSphero]

"For some reason Aggron doesn't have a Rock type move." That's because Aggron's gen 3 learnset doesn't HAVE rock type moves really. It doesn't learn any rock type moves by level up, only gets Rock Tomb (and sandstorm as a technicality) by TM, and only gets Rollout and Rock Slide in Emerald through tutoring. Why on earth would you not expect to be outsped by Slaking? Combusken is base 55 speed, even with max speed EVs on Combusken, Slaking's base 100 will always outspeed your Combusken with its speed IV unless the Slaking rolls 17 or lower in its speed IV AND has a -speed nature.

It's probably better on stream but the shiny series isn't all that different to the main series on a pre recorded video. I must admit I don't like RNG manipulation, feels too close to hacking with there being no in game way to figure out the seed
