The nuzlocke must have been a really hardcore one. You wipe, you sell the game

[@NightmareSnake]

That copy of White was DEFINITELY a Nuzlocke. They named their Litwick Sia and it died before it could evolve into a chandelier.

[@TekuJames]

Heartbreaking

[@GreyFireClover]

I don't think the Litwick was dead cause it wasn't in the Death box

flygon i would LOVE to see you finish those nuzelockes!!!

[@freya1548]

I have found with DS games that if they aren't reading to take a bit of rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush and give the contacts a quick scrub; this fixes a lot of the not reading the cartridge problems.

[@whisperingwooper1763]

I agree rubbing alcohol does wonders! It probably just needs a good cleaning

[@TheFriskySquid]

I thought usually convention prices were cheaper than ebay so they actually sold stuff. Turns out everything was $20-30 overpriced. The more you know.

[@TaLaPredator]

People spend money way more easily when they see something in person so the sellers took advantage of that.

[@RiveroftheWither]

Oh no, arts and craft stalls are usually cheaper because they're usually promoting an Etsy or something and want repeat customers. Any kind of second hand/collectors stall though? Always a big risk for getting ripped off. You have to remember, most eBay people are just looking to get the game off their hands and just want more than what GameStop offers, convention stalls are looking for profit.

[@RobertJW]

@@slayer100141 You could just play the Japanese version in any DS and change the language in the settings?

[@patricialock1862]

I saw a Soul Silver at a game store for like 200$ and was like surely I can find a legit one for cheaper than that. Then I found out one of my friends sold his ds and all of his games (including Soul Silver) to a different person for like 55$. :,)

[@mosstits]

​@@slayer100141Let's also mention $50 JPN Crystal in the video. That was insane. A quick search on mercari shows the cheapest Crystal is 500 Yen (roughly $3). It's not just DS, any JPN cartridge will be sold for dirt cheap compared to EN, as it's generally harder to make JPN bootlegs and the demand is lower.

[@bensimort30o7]

*This is an irresponsible purchase* Flygon: 👍😀

[@NexusVFD]

Someone should tell that as a seller, HE'S responsible for setting those prices. Cos I dont think he's aware if he's calling it an irresponsible purchase.

[@sponiac]

Man, those certainly are steep prices. I remember that I bought a sealed version of HeartGold for its retail price in 2013, used Yellow for 7 pounds in 2015, used Platinum for 25€ in 2016 and used Crystal for 16€ in 2017.

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Would love to see you finishing other peoples saves as a Nuzlocke

[@DoubleMcZombie]

Would watch a whole series of them

[@whisperingwooper1763]

Same I would love to see this!

[@mmeikol]

The White Nuzlocke player was probably burned out because the best way to grind before the E4 are the Audino in the grass where the game started. Also, the Beartic was holding a Lucky Egg.

[@marioipod]

I actually once bought a Japanese Platinum and found an abandoned save file that was *this* close to the league. I finished the game with that person's team and even caught some of the postgame legendaries with their save.

[@johngerhart362]

I like how they got step-by-step closer to viable content. We go from not working, to no file, to a file that was literally just started, back to no file.

[@rafethomas9126]

50 for Japanese Crystal but 165+ for Soul Silver? That's nuts!

[@HowManySmall]

japanese crystal is fucking valueless lol

[@patricialock1862]

That dude I really don’t think knew what he was selling ngl

[@mosstits]

50 for a Japanese Crystal was already insanely nuts.

[@Sailor-Khione]

So was 130 dollars for heart gold way over or fair?

[@rafethomas9126]

@Sailor-Khione it just seems odd that a game that's almost 25 years old was almost a third the price of one that's only 15 years old. 130 does seem expensive, though.

[@KyleJoseph94]

"I won't say how much this was" Completely forgets that the guy clearly says it was $165 earlier in the video 🤣🤣

The editing on the Gardenia battle was masterfully done. I'd give you an Emmy if I was Oscar.

I got a used copy of Japanese region HeartGold that had the event Mew and I was delighted, I still have it on my SoulSilver game.

[@alexbelanger860]

The prices are crazy

[@hypnoticwinds21]

Yes, here to say, we need videos of finishing the nuzlockes! I’m invested!

[@UrFavoriteArsonist]

I think that white one may have been mine lol, I used to live in Atlanta and then moved to Tennessee with my grandparents to attend UT because I got a scholarship. Ended up selling the game because I wanted to buy Scarlet and PLA so I’d have other games to play. I don’t like to use the starters, feels like a crutch.

[@cdpdoodler]

crazy if true! Hope you enjoyed the newer games :)

If not too late would be fun if you can copy the nuzlock save file and the 3 of you continue the game separately, then compare results

I think the coolest cartridges are the Nuzlocke ones.

[@darkninjafirefox]

I love finishing my old saves as nuzlockes so you should totally play some of these as one

[@Tristan_Shuler]

They are hiking those prices something awful. RBY are usually around $50. I thought they were supposed to be cheaper at conventions lol.

[@NutDatDeepTOO]

You paid a lot for the japanese copies. They usually go for $6-25 each.

[@Swoop.]

Yeah that was wayyyyyy too expensive for Japanese games

[@lilli7040]

where do you usually buy them to be that cheap??

[@AlienSnowflake]

Remember 3ds got region lock lol. Ya probably got a diff region

[@luciep9741]

Came here after watching FlygonHG finish the Nuzlock and it's so cool to see how they opened the game file and found out it was a nuzlock ! 😁👏👏

[@Traveller281]

Oh man... I don't even dare think what would you guys think of MY old safe files... But if I ever get rid of my old games, I'll definitely be keeping the old save there, just for the fun of who ever gets it next

[@wafflelover155]

The pokemon Ultra sun wasn't broken... if the game hasn't been played in a while then the device in this case a 3ds or ds wouldn't automatically remember it the first time instead you would have to insert it multiple times to get it working again.

[@abrahamgamer8331]

I play the Japanese versions so I don’t really know if they’re inherently cheaper than English versions but I got all the og gameboy color and advance games for about 200 dollars including the Japanese exclusive games, granted they didn’t come with the case but imo 12 games for 200$ is a lot better than 2 for 240$ in original box lol

[@Kereea]

Only Pokemon game I ever bought used was Black 2. Cost me about $45 after applying store credit for trade in games, would have been $85 without that. Looking around today, good condition usually goes for over one hundred. People have come around to REALLY wanting that postgame and its Hard Mode. I also remember when I traded in all my GBA Pokemon games when I got a DSi and couldn't play them anymore and got like $150 in store credit. That lasted forever in my young-teen eyes, tho in reality it was only, like, three games. My only regret today is I never transferred the Groudon from my Ruby over--I transferred two different Kyogres and Rayquzazas, but I didn't care for Groudon at the time and didn't think to move it over.

I've always wanted to go to one of these events. Also i learned that if a save file has a trainer who has barely any play time, there's a good chance that the person who sold it was testing it to make sure it worked. Though when i bought heart gold, the man didn't seam to know what was on it. R.i.p. broccoli the pansage in the white nuzlocke.

[@danny2291]

My man, you gotta ask them to bundle prices for you. Even if they just knock $10-$20 off. It’s worth asking, especially when you’re purchasing multiple games.

A few years ago my brother got a pink dslite and pink translucent gameboy advance and firered platuim and diamond ruby sapphire and emerald and all of the games were authentic and he was planning on selling them but he didn’t do it and gave them to me and I was so happy he did because I lost ruby and platinum when I was a kid and was sad. I sold firered because I already had the game and he got all of them for $5 at a yard sale. The kid and parents didn’t know what they had because they would probably have $700 if they sold it there was pearl too but someone took a bite on it so I knew it wouldn’t work so I threw it away rip those Pokémon on pearl
