I can't believe Cal Zone is canonically dead until next season when he's busted out of hell because there's an Oddish emergency that requires aid only he can provide.
Hearing Kotatsu say "standing in the odds" reminded me of a dream I had recently. In my dream, the phrase "standing in the odds" actually got popular even outside of the shiny hunting community to the point where famous and important people started talking about it. But they were talking about it like it was the ice bucket challenge renaissance, a lot of people gave speeches about how we, as the human race, have to stand in the odds for a better future. Politicians were saying that we had to stand in the odds for "the nation's future". People started making videos of themselves walking into puddles of water and saying "I'm standing in the odds" like it's the ice bucket challenge, entirely misunderstanding the original meaning of the phrase. It was a wild dream.
I really like these style of video, where you can tell it's just a group of friends hanging out, but ones who came together over a game but had the relationships become more than just just centered around the original game
I will never forget the CEJ Dance into Shiny Reaction for as long as I live. Seriously had such an incredible time with you dude, and I can't wait for the next crazy adventure!!
Videos like these used to be 10 minutes long, But mr Absol decided to cook up this 40 minute Masterpiece! It was so much fun seeing you all hangout together! Thank you for this treat Mr Pokémon Blogger. And I wish mr Cal of the Zone a nice next 42 years, and hopefully his birthday back (Oh and congrats on the shinies too I suppose)
the joy in this house is infectious! the crowd 'oohing' and 'ahhing' at the shinies gave me chills, so glad that you all got to do this together. a beautiful community moment to share! ❤❤❤
I haven't shiny hunted in ages, but the idea of hunting in a house full of other people who are also hunting and all share the excitement when someone finds one is amazing.
You did such a great job of capturing the camaraderie and craziness of this week! I had a blast, and I'm really glad you had a blast too! Thanks, Matt!
My core group of friends and I used to have crazy meetups like this but we all got a bit older, some had kids, other responsibilities etc. This video really made me remember those times and I just thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. I love this channel, it's just so much fun.
Hey! I was ghostiimoth in chat and the artist of, oddish totally hiding under the shirt and later on shiny punk girl oddish! I don’t regret the chaos I caused
finishing this video really has me feeling like I just completed a big series that I grew attached to, that feeling of there being nothing left for me in the world. surely I can't be the only one feeling this, right? 😭
Unironically this is the best video i have seen this year on youtube. Its just fun the whole time. Yea shiny hunting might not be your thing but when a whole house of friends freak out cause some eggs are a slightly different color, it just makes anyone smile.
Amazing video! This is so special. Every safari week I watch Matt and Dallas’s shiny pokemon playlists, all the way from the beginning. The entire time I was watching this video I couldn’t stop thinking about the Journey it took to get to this point. From the humble beginnings of the super solitary, extremely niche hobby of shiny hunting; to today, where so many memories and friends have been made, and even an entire community of thousands of people has been formed. I think that’s really beautiful, and there’s still so much to look forward to!
Junior the Spheal is weak to Fighting types (and likes it 😏) This was by far one of the BEST Safari Week videos I’ve seen. So glad to have watched the streams live! Here’s to next year! 🎉🥤
In my mind this video will forever be called The Biggest Salandit bcs for some reason my mind convinced me that thats what that was going to be when i saw the notification. And hey, as far as Salandits go, this might indeed be the biggest one.
I dont know what it is about your videos, but for me they are quiet magical to watch and I like your in universe lore more than I can admit tbh Thank you for great entertainment
oh my gosh, this is such a good video matt!!!! its so awesome seeing everyone having such a blast at the irl, i could NOT stop smiling through the entire video. but oh man, RIP (?) Cal Zone... enjoy being with the big floating H in the sky :(((
Love the way this whole event was captured, it was so fun to see again. The fact that the ENTIRE Nova League was able to show up is still so baffling to me. Very lucky timing and location. Almost makes up for the fact that Ruby and I (gremlin) didn’t find a single thing at the IRL…. Almost………
Love the level of dedication, driving back home just to show us, the undeserving audience, what shiny Phanpy on GC looks like, just to immediately head back to Cal. . I'm moved to tears, really.
I fell off shiny hunting for a little bit, but watching this really helped rekindle that flame. I might have missed Safari Week this year, but I think I'll try to dip my toes into hunting again.
I don't think I've ever seen a Cal Zideo about Safari Week that was this amazing before! I've been watching this for years and finally got to try it this time, and watching you and everyone along the way was so awesome! Here's to more prosperous Safaris going forward!
I never shiny hunted, but after watching your videos, it always makes me want to. You guys always look like you have the best time together. Thanks for another safari week. Cheers!
We should do the math and calculate how much those 69 consoles are in total. Because that’s crazy. That must be a world record for most game boys and DSs in one room
Thank you for hosting as always! This was my first official year participating, I went 10k last year quad hunting on sps, but got sick and stopped halfway through. This year I went almost 34k with 4 shinies! I can’t believe how much fun I’ve had shiny hunting. Thank you for the awesome videos and inspiration to start doing this all.
That was a fun video!!! I'm glad y'all had fun. I got the vibes through your unhinged video. We all wish we had such an amazing (and large) friend group!
This looks so fun! Seeing shiny hunting go from a solo activity, to something people did over voice calls, to *this* has been such a treat. Love the vibes yall give! Oh, and as always...see you, space Oddish.
Honestly no need to apologize for the train I literally know exactly where that military train was at AND used to work where that giant mammoth was at LOL, this was a great video!!!
really love the way this year's safari video has been put together, it sounds like everyone had a blast!!! :D can't wait to see what happens next safari week
FINALLY the video is out I know I Will watch at least 37.5 times to cover all the references, vibes and madness going on here! AMAZING video Matt and what a great IRL and compilation! So nice to see all the legends all together in one place! Almost felt I was there with you guys hearing inside jokes etc 😂😂 GGS!
Straight up fell off my Wii Skateboard when I saw Mpreg Calzone... I didn't know how much I needed him. Hopefully the Oddish comes back soon. Congrats on the shinys and great video!
What a fantastic event, it looks like everyone had such a fun time hanging out together for the love of shiny hunting for pokemon that can run away from you.
So incredible. I love the community and friendship brought about by shiny hunting. Your videos continue to be inspirational and enjoyable! Maybe one day Ill do an IRL lol. See you in the next one!

I legit looked to see if I could find you on Cameo. 😂
@@Inkably sorry LOL
Please come back to TH-cam! We miss you!
We miss you
Never thought I'd hear Calzone say "erm what the sigma"
That was Cal Zone!!!
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon sorry I'll change it mattzone 🫠
@@AbsolBlogsPokemondoes cal have a brother called calligraphy zone where he owns the let’s go Pokémon go park?
"is that the valley wind works?" "I sure hope it does" was such an underrated bit 😂
“We’re giving the Oddish GUNS.” is my new favorite Cal Zone quote
I can't believe Cal Zone is canonically dead until next season when he's busted out of hell because there's an Oddish emergency that requires aid only he can provide.

"AND THE NURSE JOY ODDISH IS GOING TO GIVE ME A KISS" This is the video we need to send to the aliens
Wow, Matt's Cal impression has gotten so good I almost thought he was in the car with them.
I really like these style of video, where you can tell it's just a group of friends hanging out, but ones who came together over a game but had the relationships become more than just just centered around the original game
I still can't believe that Cal Zone was actually soluble in water.
I miss him.
Also he owed me money too 😭
I will never forget the CEJ Dance into Shiny Reaction for as long as I live.
Seriously had such an incredible time with you dude, and I can't wait for the next crazy adventure!!

The Cal and Ramona lore has developed so much, another banger as always, the safari week video of all time I dare to say!
I wish I had a friend group like this, no joke this sounded so fun and relaxing!
it's seriously a dream come true!!! Just put yourself out there and you'll have no idea where it could lead! That's what happened with me
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon Yeah, I think I will. Thanks, Matt!
"When the G rated movie has an R rated sequel"😂😂 that whole sequence was almost as good as "anybody named Dave, F$^= you!" in the wonder trade stream
You did such a great job of capturing the camaraderie and craziness of this week! I had a blast, and I'm really glad you had a blast too! Thanks, Matt!
"Is that the Valley Windworks" "I SURE HOPE IT DOES" Iconic.
I don't think I've ever watched one of your videos before so this as a raw experience was incredible and unhinged.
Shoutout to whoever said "Minecraft" at the end. Hardest I've laughed in a long time.
the story of cal zone and ramona marsh would be perfect for an indie movie
My core group of friends and I used to have crazy meetups like this but we all got a bit older, some had kids, other responsibilities etc.
This video really made me remember those times and I just thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. I love this channel, it's just so much fun.
The Real Shiny Hunters of Palm Springs! I love this pilot and I cannot WAIT for the rest of the season!!!
This guy is so underrated. One of my favorite TH-camrs right now
Hey! I was ghostiimoth in chat and the artist of, oddish totally hiding under the shirt and later on shiny punk girl oddish! I don’t regret the chaos I caused

That's how it felt going home LOL
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon oh i'm sure, must've been tenfold what I was feeling lol
God this looked so fun! I’ve always wanted a bunch of IRL friends to do goofy pokemon stuff with. I’m glad you have something like that!
Unironically this is the best video i have seen this year on youtube. Its just fun the whole time. Yea shiny hunting might not be your thing but when a whole house of friends freak out cause some eggs are a slightly different color, it just makes anyone smile.
I love how Dallas says "I'm just gay." I feel that as I am Bi myself lmao
the zoo having the same font as the scarlet logo is kinda crazy.
"can we play frutiger cotton eyed joe?"
New character lore. The Great Marshall appears. The new BF of Ramona, here to avenge the Great Marsh defimation.
I think this is one of my favourite videos of yours. There's a true sense of community and friendship in the whole journey you take us on!
15:23 I can’t believe your parents let you play DS in the car; that was so nice of them 😊
Ramona's throw was Excellent!! Thank you for your sacrifice, junior.
My stupid bellsprout gijinka oc made it into the video for a few moments
Thank you again for such a great safari week!

Matt went from simple highlights of streams to being with his friends for like a week in another state just chilling. And I love it!
H onored to have participated to the Oddish army we will get revenge ( the buff oddish and the first nurse joy oddish contributed by me 9:57 )
oh my gosh, this is such a good video matt!!!! its so awesome seeing everyone having such a blast at the irl, i could NOT stop smiling through the entire video. but oh man, RIP (?) Cal Zone... enjoy being with the big floating H in the sky :(((
So jealous of that irl meet!😅 Looks like you all had a wonderful time!

Aren't you that Gremon guy?
lovely evening for a calzone lore video
2:08 It’s an honor to be enshrined in the recording of the first shiny of this amazing video. Imgur owes me for plugging them.
Yoooooooooo Irl is sick, I also spotted book two of void jumpers HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Every video posted delves further into the promised madness from the first video and I love it
the fact that mat also got a secret rare right after the phanpy is crazy
That shiny oddish left Calzone just like Romona did
this is exactly the type of unhinged video that i adore
Love the level of dedication, driving back home just to show us, the undeserving audience, what shiny Phanpy on GC looks like, just to immediately head back to Cal. . I'm moved to tears, really.
This video was definitely an adventure. Love to see your growth over the years as a person and TH-camr!
I fell off shiny hunting for a little bit, but watching this really helped rekindle that flame. I might have missed Safari Week this year, but I think I'll try to dip my toes into hunting again.
The Valley Windworks joke had no business going that hard lmao
I don't think I've ever seen a Cal Zideo about Safari Week that was this amazing before! I've been watching this for years and finally got to try it this time, and watching you and everyone along the way was so awesome! Here's to more prosperous Safaris going forward!
is that the valley windworks?
i sure hope it does
i laughed at that way too hard lmao. i am living for the chaos in this so far
Shiny hunting is such a solitary activities sometimes, it’s so fun to see irl meet ups like this. What beautiful, chronically online, brainrot vibes
I never shiny hunted, but after watching your videos, it always makes me want to. You guys always look like you have the best time together. Thanks for another safari week. Cheers!
"erm, what the sigma" cal zone -2024
thank you mr cal zone for making this video possible
I can rewatch your videos a hundred times and laugh every time! Definitely coming back to this one!
I love this definitely call of duty warzone video
We should do the math and calculate how much those 69 consoles are in total. Because that’s crazy. That must be a world record for most game boys and DSs in one room
Thank you for hosting as always! This was my first official year participating, I went 10k last year quad hunting on sps, but got sick and stopped halfway through.

This video rocked, the get together looked like a blast! Here's to many more years of your content (and Calzone good job too)
Oh ym god the layout goes so crazy this video, there's so much incredible fanart
Cal Zone's presence brings about some of the greatest creative contributions I have ever seen
This looks so fun! Seeing shiny hunting go from a solo activity, to something people did over voice calls, to *this* has been such a treat. Love the vibes yall give!
Oh, and as always...see you, space Oddish.
Loved to be here for safari week 2024, saw shiny oddish and exeggcute live
5:22 I’m so happy that my first ever layout redemption will be immortalized in this way
this was such an amazing safari week video ! you can really feel all of the joy of everyone coming together and hunting for safari week !!
Honestly no need to apologize for the train I literally know exactly where that military train was at AND used to work where that giant mammoth was at LOL, this was a great video!!!

I love this! Just everyone hanging out and having a great time! ❤️
Been waiting for this one!
One of my favorite moments from this vid is 40:48
That is a classic GremlinGremlin moment!
another amazing video this is the fuel that keeps me of the ibuprofen
Wow that’s deep
This a vibe 🙏🏾 Y’all look like y’all having so much fun😊
