Took me 2 months to get my shiny crystal Celebi 😅 Also did Kenya Den Dratini Sudowoodo Lapras Odd egg Starter Haven't done eevee yet 😮‍💨

It should be emphasized that the multi-save file static reset method is the only thing really thwarted by the broken RNG. If you’re doing random wild encounters, its very very unlikely that you’ll hit the same frames as long as your sessions last about an hour or longer. And if you really want to guarantee fresh frames on the same save files, start your games a little over 1 min apart. You’ll have advanced so many frames in between starts, it’s basically like hunting with working RNG.

6:20 That pichu can't even be transfered to gen 4 😔

Annoyingly my very first shinies were from pokemon quest, I was not very lucky as a kid.

Am I still bitter about the Safari Zone shiny Exeggcute that ran away in FireRed when I was like, 12? Yes.

Thank god this is no longer my most viewed video

This is why I love RNG manipulation.

Oo! I have an explanation for why the RNG is broken, but it's more of a hunch from coding experience. Emerald was the last GBA pokemon game released, and FR/LG use a completely different engine from Ruby/Sapphire. What probably happened is they wanted to use the updated FR/LG engine, but didn't want to remake Hoenn, so they copied the code from RS into the FRLG engine, but since FRLG don't use a battery for RNG, and they wanted to use a battery for Emerald, they deleted the RNG code from FRLG and added the RS RNG generator, but forgot to link it to the battery/clock since the engine wasn't made to have one. This would explain why the RNG generator always acts like it has a dead battery, since it's not connected to it code-wise, it can't use it to randomize the seed on-boot. Until we have the source code for all 3 games, I can't confirm this; but from coding experience and wanting to save time (remember, it was only 1 year between FRLG and Emerald), it makes the most sense.

Kinda unbelievable you called me out like this; that triple shiny Carnivine on the first phase was completely legitimate. Great video! People need this info if they're going to get into Gen 3 Hunting and the more videos people make about it the better. Especially nice and clearly explained ones like this!

I'm always glad when someone can explain this well to people who don't understand math 🙏 thank you legend

Since gen 5, eggs from Volbeat or Illumise have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either one, and since Volbeat is 100% male and Illumise is 100% female this implies they are the same species by the same logic used to combine the Nidoran into a single entry

China got the better game because f*** America (this is a joke)

They need to add the gen 2 pokemon

Huh Netease- they have alot of things under their belt. I do play a game of theirs but gogdamn the more you know. -I do prefer Identity V over DBD but the history linking the two is really neat.-

4:33 You don't need a soldering iron at all. You just need a tri-wing screwdriver. Edit: Turns out my info was wrong. You technically can get away without using a soldering iron, but you really should if you don't want to risk snapping things.

To be honest I couldn't care less. That's two shiny treecko to me.

Don’t know how people multihunt and not miss things.

I had Oblivious (Ability) therefore had no issues finding a shiny Rayquaza on a dead battery.

My first shiny was a ditto in pokemon gold. I killed it because I thought it was a glitch and would break my game. Hadn't encountered the Red gyarados yet so I didn't know about shiny pokemon.

I've already stated multiple times how to fix the shiny problem, but nobody spreads it.

I don't know why, but "The Two Treeko Problem" is a fun name. Like, it feels like it could be the name of an episode of Columbo or something

Thanks for calling out that Twitter post It really annoyed me. Duping save files should be shamed or at least called out Can’t believe how many people thought that dude had double shinies

You forgot the free shiny zizzagon when you do the berry update in gen 3

#justice3ronk

You get 1 extra subscription due you not over resting when a shiny appears and just enjoy that you found another one

Just use Pomeg Glitch , easiest way to obtain SecretID on original game card, and then shiny hunt via resetting, easy af

this was never a thing.

I think "pokemon quest chinese version for the nintendo 3ds" would be my favorite pokemon side game ever. Pokemon rumble world would be a close second though (I wish it had shinys but the 1/1k epic pokemon are cool too)

I hunted on sapphire through my gba operator. I had nine instances of sapphire running simultaneously and got a shiny mudkip on I think three or four of the instances. I’m assuming because of the internal battery, the seeds were all wonky, and some of them were the same when I was resetting.

Vega says watch out for

Nice vid!

Amazing vid as always!!!I gotta question though, is full odds 13?

That's why I always RNG manipulate in emerald if I really want a specific shiny... in other games I just soft reset

I'm pretty sure I've hit the same "Shiny frame" in my Emerald 3 times. 2 times on route 101 and 1 time on route 103. The 101 shinies are both Poochyenas which are completely identical down to their hidden values, the only difference being the ball I used. The 103 shiny was a Lotad. I believe all 3 of these are the same frame, because they all appeared when I did the Pomeg glitch and sent out the Question mark guy. That was very scary the first time XD.

Even if yourre batteries are working, your Ruby and sapphire file won't be truly random. That's pretty much impossible for video games.

Very informational.

Well now I need to know- what was the first shiny in pokemon black/what video is it shown in?

I love the treeko background and the occasional shiny in it

thank you canned wolf meat

Honestly, if you’re not shiny hunting on actual hardware it doesn’t count. Emulators allow you to edit the game and manipulate the odds. It’s not how the games were meant to be played. It’s cool that you got it but it doesn’t count

thank you for making this video because I have seen a couple more instances of this happening to other content creators and I always feel terrible for telling them.

Looking at the pictures in Emerald does not randomize the RNG; it sets the RNG to the current seed at the time the picture was created. That makes it a very useful tool for RNG manipulation.

Chinese government really sucks dude. I know west and japan censor eqch others work but I can easily get a japanese copy of a game thanks to no region locks.

4:49 Emerald with a working battery Sucessfully randomizes the seed on starting a new game. As long as the battery works getting the same pool of trainer IDs shouldn't be a problem.

One of my favorite things about the new games is being able to reclaim my Gen 3 shinies from my childhood

China doesn't have "The Best" anything......

Can the update still posibally come to America thoigh
