- very silly little idea - one of my shorter projects compared to the other gauntlet I'm currently editing!
If you wanna take my swampert on a journey: www.dropbox.co...
If YOU want to continue this Swampert's journey, I uploaded a file with its data in the description
what happens if I took, say, PKHex or something and copied the file to normal ORAS? It'd probably be normal, right?
Please do a gauntlet where you get a Kricketune to Lv.100 by only killing Kricketune, so we here it's cry the entire gauntlet long.

Two years later, did you ever find out?
this demo means a lot to me. it was the first experience i had with pokemon, before i even really played video games i heard about this "free pokemon game" from school and had to try it. i couldnt get a real pokemon game so i always just played this one. at some point, my dad bought me omegaruby and i played most of the game with just the glalie i got from the demo, who was female and named "Franzi".
Ok this story was very charming already but "Franzi" just put it over the top in terms of adorableness.
this is so wholesome
Your comment made me feel old lol
Bruh you 12?
@@casdejong9801 ORAS has 8 years, there's no way this person is 12.
I was there for the last couple of levels. It's unusual for me to actually witness a Pokémon reaching its pinnacle of power live on stream.
Setting up the DS in front of your drinks just to get the pun in there, I respect it
pat pat
stop asking for attention you stupid jerk!
@@thequinnimator pat pat pat
I completely forgot about Steven having a shiny metagross, that's so cool
i remember it only beacause if you start a save in like, the first 2 or 3 month after the game was out, a free shiny mega metagross was offered
Same
@@lavandieredenoz I still have mine in Home, it's so cool.
I cannot help but admire the absolute dedication for this utterly pointless task. The grind for grinds sake. You are simply built different sir. Truly one for the books.
Edit: in the last two days I became somewhat obsessed with this video and its premise. I just love that everything in this demo basically screams: "DO NOT DO THIS, IT IS POINTLESS and dumb!" - the fact that you can't save, the fact that you can't transfer the pokemon, and for God's sake it isnt even supposed to be a visible shiny. Yet Absol the madlad didn't get deterred by all these warning signs, hell it probably even motivated him. This in my opinion is a prime display of the human spirit. Everything tells you not to attempt this nonsense, Absol embraces the nonsense of it all. I think is what Camus meant when he said that we have to imagine that Sissiphus is happy. The struggle itself toward a non-existent shiny and grinding it to level 100 with Random level 40 encounters is enough to fill a man's heart. The next time I run into an obstacle I will remember the legend of Absol who despite setting himself up for ridiculously dumb challenges still prevails and pushed onward. Godspeed you magnificent Bastard
didn't expect to read a Camus reference in the comments of a shiny hunt video. proof that shiny hunters are intellectuals
the oppressive restriction of an impossible task vs. the indomitable human spirit
a quirked up marshtomp is currently busting it down shiny style, but is it really gogoated with the sauce?
I remember playing this demo countless times as a kid because Steven said I might get his shiny metagross someday after the first adventure. I genuinely thought I could get it if I played enough, so I kept grinding it
I mean, he wasn’t wrong, it was a mystery gift event
I always love the way you go “Level one hundred, the pinnacle of power for a Pokemon” in your videos about getting them to level 100
How bittersweet! I’d definitely get attached and be so sad about not being able to move it into the actual game.
Sick idea, your gauntlets are one of the most unique pokemon videos and they're always a blast to watch
Good stuff as usual, man. We are so close to SV launch, excited to watch your play through documentary whenever that comes out. Always loved them since the XY days.
In case you're interested, I plugged the Swampert's stat's into an IV calculator. It has 26 HP, 2 Atk, 4 Def, 18 SpA, 24 SpD, and 20 Spd.
I assumed that the EV's gained from anything other than HP from the Glalie were negligible.
yep, that about matches up with pkhex told me too!
As a big ol Swampert fan, it’s really cool to see it star in a level 100 Gauntlet, especially one as unique as this one. Congrats and good luck on that professor oak challenge!!
"One of my shorter projects"
> 18 minute video
Lmao GGs matt
Great video! I have found memories of exploring this demo for what would be my favorite game to this day. Also the house at 6:32 has become a kind of local hot spot to pass by. My family are really big into Halloween and love passing by and seeing the new stuff they put up every year. Always cool to see local stuff in your videos. Also mad props for doing this kind of hunt at all, even if only for the principal. You may very well be the first person to do this. Well done!
Yeah it's one of my favorite places to bike by every year!! I also had to ride into River Ranch to see the crazy decorations there too lol
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon Absolutley! love seeing them go all out for christmas, so cant wait for that. Folks have been holding back a bit since the Rona, so we should see a lot more decorations in the coming months. Very exciting stuff! Iirc theres one or two houses that really go all out, so a few more are gonna be following suit this year
I was there for the final stream! Congratulations on the find but it’s sad the Swampert becomes phony in the main game. Everyone knows shiny Swamperts are blue
i always feel the urge to cry at the end of ur gauntlets, ur videos are just such a beautiful package of nostalgia and joy that makes me emotional every time :’)
Bro I always love these lvl 100 gauntlets. Keep it up absol!
Ahh I remember the special demo. I absolutely admire your determination here.
I love how many videos we still see the Battle Revolution hunt going on in the background lol
Every time I see a shiny like this that "nobody would hunt normally", I think of those odds. About 1/4000 in Gen 6, yeah? Even if only like 100,000 people downloaded the demo(the full games sold like 15 million copies, so very conservative estimate assuming most people didn't know about the demo) that's still like 25 people that just naturally experienced this, at least some of whom probably knew very little about what was happening (small children, casuals etc).
Imagine having this happen and then you're left wondering the rest of the game why no other Pokemon do this cool animation when they enter battle, not even your own Marshtomp if you play the regular game lol
Imagine getting a shiny on both and being even more confused
seeing your swampert and steven’s metagross sparkle at the same time was so cool!! congrats on this super cool gauntlet, aqua admin matt!!
Honestly didn't realize the save for the demo kept the current party for a moment after you complete the demo. Neat.
You always come up with such unique ideas. Never a dull moment in this channel.
The starter hunt in the Oras demo is definitely one I have to try one day, congrats on the shiny!!
The ORAS demo was a great experience all those years ago.
X was my first game, followed by Y, then I got Alpha Sapphire. I played that demo as much as I possibly could and had a great time doing it. Between this and the Sun/Moon demo, I had some really great times with Pokemon games that weren't REALLY Pokemon games. I'm kinda sad they don't do demos anymore, they were a fun early look at the games and a good way to hype them up.
CONGRATS! shiny hunting with a friend looks like so much fun!! hoping the scarlet/violet multiplayer makes for a fun shiny hunting method
also love how many spongebob sps are on the table lol
It was cool too see the ORAS posters in the reflection of your DS whenever the screen went black. Very avant garde 🧐
where’s the sudowoodo update
I literally had no idea there was an ORAS demo, cool! Keep up the great content Matt!
It's still available actually! Last I checked it could still be downloaded from the 3DS eShop!
Man, what an awesome vid dude. That troubleshooting really brought us some luck!
the timing was so crazy on that hahaha
You could really tell that those Glalie were doing wonders for your HP EV's by the end!
One of the coolest hunts yet! Congratulations man!
Was nice to be there for the last stream of this gauntlet, and I am happy my Caillouwott got to make an appearance in the video. Truly the most hated best boy
I love how you’re watching Airplane! in the background
Wake up babe, new level 100 gauntlet just dropped
I am looking forward to your Prof. Oak Challenge. It's funny... I remember more with the demo than the full game that came later. I appreciate the level of care put into making these videos so entertaining and informative. Even if there's naysayers you press on and do the impossible. I hope you are well. I myself have been feeling pretty alright aside from my finger feeling weak from working at the wood last week.
It feels so nostalgic seeing Omega Ruby and Alpha sapphire. especially the demo. The demo was the first ever pokemon game experience I ever had. I still have Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but sadly can't play them due to my 3DS being dead (and very old. we are talking about 11 years or so!)
Hearing the music and noises from the game feels amazing. My first ever pokemon game was Omega Ruby, but the demo was the first thing I ever played over and over. Glad to see the game again in 2022.
Such a intersting hunt to see! Congrats on the sparkling Marshtomp
yes my amazing Farigiraf with a party hat made it in.
the pinnacle of Power for a shiny not shiny swampert was beyond our mortal comprehension
was excited for this video after you talked about it on stream last night, cool stuff Matt
Just sat down for lunch, and now I have the perfect thing to watch! Thanks Absol!
Professor Oak Challenge? I can't wait for that! I love watching oak challenges from people like chaotic meatball and Johnstone. Gonna love seeing you do it too!
Swampert is now another member of the Hall of Heroes in the Matt (Absol) lore.
awesome, its my birthday and i love this series! thanks for uploading!!
Such an interesting twist on the lvl. 100 gauntlet.
Finally, I’ve been watching the old ones over and over
You are a madman Matt and never fail to impress ! Can't wait for the Prof. Oak Emerald challenge!
Kinda tempted to try this now. Congrats on the shiny!
Ahhh, I remember how surreal it was. To experience a mainline Pokemon game before the release was awesome. =)
I remember freaking out when the codes were being sent out because I didn’t have mine yet. I eventually got it and had so much fun
Oh that i could be raised by Matt and meet the pinnacle of power.
Stuff like this is what makes your channel so cool to me. Keep it up!
7:28 when you said quirky i instinctively went "quirked up" and we said it at the same time 😭that was so funny omg lmao
This was one I’ve been waiting a while for and it’s finally out!
Honestly my favorite level 100 gauntlet by far! I love how creative you are 😁
“It’s like attack on titan, but like… small.” Oh that one got a good hearty chortle outta me. 6:46
I was able to catch the stream on the last few levels and it was lots of fun, keep it up!!!! Love your content!
i remember getting the oras demo card at a movie theater, and i was so ridiculously excited to play oras before it launched
dude youre a legend, i completely forgot about this demo, i used to play it a lot when i got bored of x
Amazing video as always, ive been looking forward to this for as long as youve mentioned you want to take it on.
This was super cool to watch live, glad I was there!
man I remember doing this exact same thing when the demo first came out because I was so utterly excited for the full game
i love your videos man! always happy to see a new upload from you!!
What a mad lad! Love the videos man! Keep it up
kinda obsessed with the one piece 3ds. wanna say that my friend did something similar (raising pokemon to 100 in demo) when this first dropped. your vibe is super chill. cheers!
Great job Absol this was a really interesting video and I liked the Halloween decorations in America we don’t see many Halloween decorations in Australia
people go crazy with the decorations here!!
Can’t believe that this demo confirmed the existance of Orlando in the Pokémon universe
Love that you visit older pokémon games and do unique challenges like these. Especially because its the demo and not the actual game which for some reason makes it way more unique and obscure
This is an amazing showcase of your ability to grind for the fact you can claim you did a grind.
i must commend you, that was an extraordinarily normal sip of coffee!
I opened TH-cam and saw this video at the first suggested and I literally smiled so big
Haha the shiny riolu on the layout was definitely a brazilian submission. "A mimir" means "to sleep" or smth along those lines
Been waiting for this one yo!
Nice, intro is back again.
And as always, superlative video!
The classic yards with way to many decorations love that.
AYYY my art made it to the final video, rad!
Edit: also kinda unironically I want a clone of the demo swampert... like having a weird little parasocial trophy for watching the fella get found and trained.
I might upload the pkhex file for it and update the description with a link to it later this weekend!
update: description has a link to my Swampert now!
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon YES GOOD I LOVE HIM
This is one of my favorite demos I've ever played.
I redownloaded this demo a few days ago on account of the 3ds shop closing next year. Cool to see this is huntable!
12:58 watched one of the best animes ever while playing one of the best pokemon games, mad respect!!
Mob Psycho is so good
i was lucky enough to witness some of this gauntlet live !! definitely a very different gauntlet from the rest
I liek pokmon
Reminds me of those Buddhist monks that do art with sand just to brush it away at the end.
Geeked to see your Professor Oak challenge, you have the best Pokémon videos out there!
This was so Interesting! Wow dude im impressed.
I remember playing the demo so much since I got lucky when going to a mall and they were giving out special codes for it. I was so freaking happy, and it would later make me max out the time the time in my omega Ruby 😂
Man how amazing is this day. Thanks you Saint Abs
I swear every time I don’t watch a stream you get the shiny
I got this one offline!
Shiny Whismur was the very first shiny I caught in Pokemon Sapphire. Sadly, I don't have this little guy anymore. Glad it came by to say hi!
Glad you were able to back up the save file!
i watched this stream on twitch! this is so awesome ive been waiting for it!!!!
Those decorations for Halloween were great
Congrats on your almost shiny Mudkip, I mean Marshtomp :p
omfg ha I completely forgot this demo existed!! nuts!
wow, you are very dedicated to your video making, cheers from norway matt!
I forgot the demo even existed. I had to be like 10 or 11 back then. Good days
Saw this grind live, cool stuff
The demo was free on the Eshop in Australia
Someone should look into the data for the ORAS Demo and see if there’s a non-shiny texture for Metagross.
Shiny MARSHtomp which reaches the pinnacle of power but is forever trapped in its own universe. A year later, Ramona MARSH shows up. Coincidence? I think not.
