I haven't even TOUCHED splatoon 2 and 3...been a splatoon 1 player my whole life. (Btw Nintendo shut down the servers permanently this time, there is no going back...the reason for this I know not, but there is a method to playing splatoon despite it going offline, via a group named "Pretendo" they allow you to join custom servers that grant multiplayer access. Down side is you'll need to start all over on progress...not that bad for new players, a bit upsetting for the veterans)

Shinies being harder to find makes it more fun, but it depends the method being used. For me personally the SOS method was the most fun and useful. You build up your chain, EV train, and still get the suspense of waiting for a shiny to pop up on each new spawn all at the same time.

PLA definitely did it right with the sparkles and jingle. I wish they'd kept it in SV. But I do feel so excited every time I find a shiny in SV. Prior to PLA and SV, I had _never_ found a shiny Pokemon in any of my games before. There's a lot that SV makes things difficult, like trying to figure out if a Pokemon is shiny or not and the music literally putting me to sleep while I'm grinding, but knowing that I _will_ actually get the shiny eventually makes me feel accomplished. I went from 0 shinies to 90 shinies in the past two years. I even shinyhunted Quaxly and hatched boxes upon boxes of eggs to get that shiny Quaxly. I tried that method in Y with Ekans and never got my yellow snake lol. I'm just glad I actually get the shiny I hunt now.

I agree shiny hunting is way easier now to where they don’t even feel special anymore, and Herba Mystica makes it even easier.

Your example doesn’t work because you may never get that ps5 in earlier games

I agree. I get more people who have been able to find shinies because of how easy it is now and great for you all. BUT you took away the enjoyment for shiny hunters who've been doing this a long time. You can't just drop them like that. If you dont have the time to put in to shiny hunt, then maybe you just shouldn't do it. There are plenty of games for you all to play when you're done with Pokemon.

Watching this after the servers closed down permanently

scarlet and violet sucks

Pokémon balls😼

We gonna make it out the hood with this one fire vid

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Better late than never 🗣

Bssically old shiny hunting was stressfull and desesperating (some people like to suffer)

dude its been so long since i've watched you the last time i've seen your videos is when you made that graduational video and you had to go to college and after that video i forgot about your vids but now i literally have seen this video on my for you page

As someone currently shiny hunting ho oh in Ultra Sun I can 100% say that shiny hunting in Scarlet and Violet respect my time far more as someone who just simply prefers certain shiny color pallettes over regular colors sometimes ( I dont look for the lime greens on purpose). I get people like the feeling of finally finding a shiny after 4 years 3 months ect but I attribute that feeling as being a consequence of burn out rather then pure joy. Shiny hunting should be fun first and foremost and if the method can't be fun then it needs to be less tedious to balance out the repetitive nature. I feel Legends Arceus had a good balance where you were still actively searching for the pokemon and looking for map outbreaks while being able to casually stop and throw balls at other things when it got tedious for money/items and the excitement came from hearing the jingle go off and then immediatly turn into hunting mode. All those mons were still on the map like Scarlet/Violet but the jingle turns on the lottery/slot machine/serotonin boost that us humans crave.

Don’t see why you brought up shiny sandwiches. Its optional

The frye banner was available in the Frye vs bigman vs Shiver splatfest. I got myself one, but I think you can get it in the shell out machine too!

I can see why marina likes the splatbrella in side order

I can kinda agree I caught 68 shiny pokemon in four days last week due to the event 63 of them were just Tatsugiri. To get enjoyment out of them, I had to give them away to feel suspense.

When I started Scarlet, I wasn't even 2 minutes in and I found a shiny Rookidee. No shiny charm, no meal powers, nothing

My least favorite part of the DLC as this is as unbearable as losing in a facility pre-GEN eight if we don’t include brilliant, diamond shining pearl, as the most part is that yet to raise your own Pokémon that you caught yourself within the even be transferred over or to someone else it had to be your own Pokémon from this game in the game will let you know until you complete that which was the sexiest part of the gym challenge no other we ever let you do this or do this..

Ngl I forget this DLC exists sometimes until I remember I gotta upload the rest of this series 💀

I found a psyduck and a lechonk randomly. I was so happy 😂. Psyduck shiny is beautiful 🩵

Shinies seem not to exist in my scarlet game so far. After hearing how shinies are even essier to find than in arceus i was expecting to at least have 1 by now but ive beaten all the titans and 5/8 gyms and nothing. Did 11 mass outbreaks even tried the picnic spawn reset thing but nope. Hopefully now that I've complained i will get one

So long as theres no 20k resets to get a pokemon. Those ppl need to get over it. Its life goin on. Shiny hunting is perfectly fine in SV. The only probelm is the small ones or the pokemon with little color change. I hate random encounters. So glad thats gone. They shouldve put pokemon in certain spots instead of bein able to find meowth in multiple places. Then you would have to go through a lil more to get pokemon

Great video! I don’t think sv are fundamentally flawed, just fundamentally different. They appeal to an entirely different set of skills. I prefer shiny hunting in prior games, but I absolutely cannot deny that it is sometimes fun to play spot the difference, and shines in this game also feel like more of a reward for being attentive. I think this direction is absolutely intentional, it just falls short of what I love about shiny hunting. I can definitely agree that I wish some middle ground was reached. I think raising the odds is honestly an idea that can work, as long as other methods are introduced for fans of sv shiny hunting

First shiny hunting is never fun that's bullshit lol😂😂😂😂😂😂

With sandwiches & many Pokemon on screen it's very easy to get shiny. Also there are many channels and sites that allow people to get shinies whether paid or free

I both agree and disagree. Sometimes it can feel like a huge waste of time, with way slower pacing than PLA, but if you’re going for a Living Dex, nothing’s that easy, but nothing’s really too hard either. The worst you’ll get is egg hunting, and that’s still WAYYYY faster than waiting 40 minutes for three Pokémon to appear (I’m talking about Distortion Hunting). The worst you’ll get in SV is Gimmighoul, and it’s debatable whether that even counts, as Gimmighoul is only occasionally available shiny.

I agree although i love shiny hunting in sv its my least favorite game to shiny hunt in due the amount of attention i have to put in the game compared to others and the amount of times i almost missed a shiny due to no indicators had made me not want to hunt in it as much as i want to

Great vid but that fnaf made me skip that part cause horror 😢 but yr not wrong on sv it does not feel as great 😐 as like pla 😊 as ive only really shiny hunted on gen 6-9 games 😊

A PROFESSIONAL SHONY HUNTER: MY DUDE YOU CAN PLAY THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF SCARLET AND VIOLET AND NEVER FIND A SHINY! THE FACT THAT THE ODDS WERE LOWERED FOR SHIY POKEMON WAS GOOD, BECAUSE NOW POKEMON HAS MORE MOVES TO MAKE WHEN MARKETING THEIR BRAND.

I, too, hate when video games make features more accessible to players and remove the soul-draining tedium of a task and make it more casual and not take five hours of doing the same thing over and over again.

Yoo I remember watching this video

There is one Pokémon who you still have a surprise shiny for in Scarlet and Violet… that’s right I’m talking about Minior! Love that little guy

SV has my favorite shiny hunting. I disagree with almost everything this video says, but to each their own. The one thing I would change is making a visual/audio signal when you come across a shiny in the wild, like in Legends Arceus.

I disagree. Shiny hunting is actually more fun in SV. I'll agree that shinies are inherently less valuable now, and I also agree that some Pokémon being a seeing eye test is annoying, but they've given us enough tools to make shiny hunting accessible to more people. Shiny Pokémon have always been RNG dependent. The chance of getting a shiny in your first encounter is never zero. But what that meant in old games is the only challenge to getting a shiny is "how long are you willing to sit and do the same task for days on end?" I have tried shiny hunting in the past, every method that is supposed to increase odds, and never found the shinies I was looking for. I have gotten my fair share of random shinies, but never gotten one I was hunting, until SV. And some of those hunts still took me days. My shiny Applin took me 2 weeks. But in SV, if there's an outbreak, it's actually feasible to find a shiny in a single day. That's less of my life and attention span wasted on a cool and rare Pokémon. I don't think we should attach the value of a shiny Pokémon to how much suffering someone had to endure.

You are mostly wrong here. Does need some adjustments, but making longer odds ain’t it. Sparkle and shiny sound definitely needs to return in overworld. What you are missing is the producers don’t want you to play the game for years, just until the next game comes out.

I think RyanRhino has a good point. I think game freak understood this and that's why we have marks now. I did a Cheispin outbreak and got a shiny with the rare mark. Then on my recent birthday I caught two shinnies with the choose one mark. So with shinnes becoming a common thing, marks make them stand out.

I agree I hate shiny hunting it that game breeding is just annoying and there really isn’t a difficult hunt I like sword and shield and sun and moon as the are various methods like sr, breeding, max lair or worm holes then the new method for the game. In those games it makes the shiny feel earned but u can easily get one still while scarlet and violet its more guaranteed and isn’t as exiting

I gotta say, I enjoy shiny hunting in SV and PLA. I don’t have time for 3DS and behind hunts (except for ultra space!) but every pokemon for me is fun to hunt for. I do miss the shiny sound when one spawns, tho. I’m working on my 3rd box of shinies after catching 40 Alolan Shiny Raichu. I find it exciting with the lower odds that I could find a shiny at any moment, and that keeps me on edge.

I'm so new to shiny hunting, I don't even dedicate much time to it, and I just got back from playing pokemon, Arceus and Scarlet. Arceus is more fun than Scarlet due to the sound and visual thingy of Arceus😂 Also, last pokemon I played was in emerald, and so far, playing this 2 recent game, I enjoy it. I know the game review for Scarlet and Violet sucks but Im enjoying it despite its flaws.

I disagree, shiny hunting is fine in SV. It works for casual hunters, it’s only dull when people spam it. Look at SS, shiny hunting is terrible. It has the random encounters like classic games but, you can’t tell if it’s a shiny are mark until after the encounter. It’s impossible to save before a shiny, so no multiple attempts at a special ball, or if a Pokémon KOs. Shiny charm doesn’t work for curry mons, raids, or anything other then eggs and basic encounters. Chaining only effects brilliant spawns. It’s such a pain no wonder people used exploits. Now with SV gamefreak actually respects the players time. Shiny hunting should be fun, not a 8 hour a day grind like it’s a job.

Your OC is very unique I like them.

I think the reason shiny hunting in SV is so dull is because the main method of encountering Pokemon means you see a LOT of encounters super fast. Like I reset a sandwich if I can't find a shiny within the first 10 minutes and if I don't find at least 3 during one sandwich session. That's how bad shiny hunting is now. I'd rather complete my shiny living dex in a Gen 3 rom hack (Clover) than actually work on my main one

1:22 Mans has not even played touched Gen 5, Pokemons peak

catching a shiny slowpoke is impossible in scarlet and violet

So ironically while editing this video I actually caught that shiny blacephalon in Ultra Sun, kinda crazy how it took 7 years to find it but we got there 😭🙏
