like is there even a real money market for shinies? if not i don't understand the long term point, like i know it's unique and for collectors but like the amount of time required seems absolutely insane. reminds me of having a really rare CS skin except when you're bored of it you can sell it for actual money. even the Pokemon trading cards I get bc again, value. you could argue well you have to pay for a chance at a skin or a rare trading card but when you're an adult time = money anyway lol. I've literally never even seen a shiny in a game before so that's why I'm wondering if there's a real money market for it cus from a really casual numbers crunch for a starter it would take somewhere around 72 hours of constant resetting. it surprises me pokemon ppl can be some of the most hardcore grinders out there rivaling Korean mmo players lmao
Wow. I honestly forgot how beautiful this game is, never mind the incredible shiny Pokémon you caught! Thanks, I’m inspired to try this game again now.
@@SDS_524 yeah, thanks. Well, I didn’t go right back to the beginning. I just ran around some routes. Was going to Pokémon Bank all my Pokémon, then start a new play through, but ended up getting distracted by all the BDSP news/ leaks / data mines instead… oops.
I have found 4 shiny geodudes after my first shiny pichu in crystal with a 1/16 chance to be shiny [so not a big brag]... good to know someone has the same luck as me
When you the MILTANK and a faithful Sword with you, what is there to fear? I loved the video and I salute your run for the sheer agony it must've caused you!
If you look closely at the Kalos Routes you can see intricate details linking it to France, the beautiful Baguette trees in the background, the escargot under a box trap to catch pokemon if you can't afford poke balls and who could forget the posters for Glass Joe's boxing school. Truly a game for the ages. Thank you Papito, for another excellent video
This is some of the best content I’ve just witnessed. Its a lot of effort and I love nuzlocks and your commentary during the nuzlocke was so entertaining.
Honestly watching this filled me with satisfaction because when I first played Pokémon Y, the first encounter I got, that wasn't the guaranteed Pidgey, was a shiny Fletchling and I have great memories of that beautiful bird.
Playing pokemon for over 10 years and my first shiny (besides the red gyarados at lake of rage) is regirock in swsh. Pretty cool but also kind of bitter it took more than 10 years to find a shiny.
I been playing since pokemon platnium and the first ever shiny was a hariyama i found when going through victory road in omega ruby, so i caught it and named it cancer, then traded it for a larvesta named Pork, sadly lost the game
If it makes you feel any better, I've been playing Pokémon for 20 years and I have never, ever gotten a shiny (except for the red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage, of course). I remember trying to get a shiny Charmander via breeding in Soul Silver, doing everything to increase my chances. I spent countless days hatching eggs, but I never got that fucking shiny Charmander. :(
Pfft, at least yours was a legendary. I've been playing pokemon since Red and Blue came out. First shiny I caught (not counting ones given in the story like red gyrados or gifted as mystery gifts) was a Mantike in SwSh.
After Whitney's Milktank, things you thought you would never hear anyone say about it... "Best utter physics" "The sheer girth of this girl" "She does what she does best, pound this thing relentlessly with her girth"
Prism Tower is obviously based on the Eiffel Tower and is the center of the city surrounded by a loop just like the Arc De Triomphe. Also, the city is divided into districts, just like Paris, which is divided into 20 arrondissements.
My first shiny was a Ralts I chained for in ORAS. It took me like a year to finally encounter it hahaha I can’t imagine trying to do a full run of shinies, I definitely don’t have the patience for it. Yet another great run, Quinn!
So a nice trick to shiny hunting the gift Kanto Starters in this game is to have a full party you can then refuse the starter until there is a space clear and come back later and hunt it with basically all dialogue gone.
that random optional fighting trainer in reflection cave has ended one of my best runs before. the minute you said “optional trainer” i knew. it’s a trauma response at this point
pro tip don't use repel if you want shinies useless you are only going for a certain shiny and using it in older gens to only get people with a certain level to appear
I tried this very same challenge, with the exception that I could catch ANY shiny because I wanted cool shinies. Caught 3 Bidoof on route 22 before giving up and never made it pass Dendemille because I couldn't stomach another hunt. My respects for pushing through all of that and finishing the challenge.
It might feel legit but watch the exp on every pokemon every time he is in a gym battle. Its always 0. Do you know how hard it is to do that while playing legit?
Gosh, what an incredible video I've stumbled across while arduously hunting my shiny Turtwig in BDSP. This is giving me all the motivation I could possibly ask for to see my hunt all the way through. Amazing content, can't wait to check out your other videos and your stream as well!
fwiw in kalos route 2 you're guaranteed to catch anything so, not like a pidgey of all things would have given you much trouble, but there you should be fine ^^
Check the description. He did change the odds but he never specifies what he changed it to. He buried that disclaimer in the description but doesn't mention it in the comments or in the video and in the video states that the shiny odds are about 1/4000 and never mentions changing it. So he's intentionally misleading people into believing it's full odds and more impressive than it actually is. Very annoying when each time he catches one he's like "that took a couple hours" when it really didn't. I don't know why these people feel the need to clickbait and lie

Awesome video Was cool to see the usual favorite shinies of Greninja, Charizard, Krookodile and Aegislash As well as seeing shiny Victreebell, Slowbro and Miltank for the first time
Miltank is an interesting but nice choice for favorite Pokemon. Mine used to be nidoqueen, not sure what it is now. I did encounter a shiny nidorans f in vc for gsc, but I lost the 3ds.
When I was 9 or 10 I remember finding my first shiny in the pokemon Y safari zone on a regular playthrough just needing a fire type. I had no idea what it was, but it had cool stars and a weird colour. Now on that save file I have a level 100 shiny Simisear.
Man you're really insane doing this type of challenge in Pokemon Y 😅 I found X and Y with hardcore Nuzlocke to be VERY hard to complete bcoz of the random trainers, they're really strong! Really love your videos man and ur channel keeps growing!
Incredible. This is the first video I've seen of yours but it's so clean and you have such a great way of keeping my attention and the script moving. Subbed! My first shiny I'm pretty sure was a Tentacool in Pokémon Sapphire when I was 10 or 11. Ran into it while surfing to get to Mt. Pyre. I caught it, but I'm pretty sure I was confused by it. Don't think I ever evolved it tbh! Missed opportunity 😂
I went back to pokemon Y after a couple and walked through the grass where you find ralts and floette, and immediately ran into a shiny ralts. I was almost wept tears of joy at the random shiny that happened to be one of my favorites
Once I was casually looking for a Trubbish in the lost hotel and a random shiny Electrode showed up. He immediately used self-destruct, love Electrode mechanics
What is your favorite shiny Pokemon?
Shiny Greninja is awesome
Aegislash and haxorus, I can't decide between the two
both very sick
ya I love him too. Too bad his learnset is pretty garbo in X/Y
@@Quinnjamin actually coming to think of it, it's quite difficult for a Pokémon to have a good learset, especially a dragon type
*”We cannot risk losing Charmeleon before seeing Charizard”*
That’s right, we nuzlockers need that sweet, sweet clickbait!
GG, dude!
You’re right on the money lol
Hahahaha
@@Quinnjamin nope. Venusaur shiny is way better than charizards.

Glad you enjoyed. The art design of this game is definitely one of its strongest points
Have you played it again yet?
Lucky. For me it is worth 90,000+ rupees lmao (counting a new 3ds and the game)
@@mysanity_islow ouch! Sorry to hear that. I still have my 3DS and all my games, I hope you manage to get one one day, if you want one.

One of the most unluckiest things is that I was able to catch 4 shiny Pokémon’s in regular playthroughs but 2 of them were shiny pidgeys…..
gotta love a shiny pidgey
I have found 4 shiny geodudes after my first shiny pichu in crystal with a 1/16 chance to be shiny [so not a big brag]... good to know someone has the same luck as me
The only shiny I’ve caught was a duskull
nice my first shiny was a rattata tho i have got a shiny shinx and electrike
Have 10 Full odds Shinys , Soul Silver, B/W (1) and Perl. And 70 Shinys with Shiny charm
When you the MILTANK and a faithful Sword with you, what is there to fear? I loved the video and I salute your run for the sheer agony it must've caused you!
absolutely nothing to fear with this squad lol
mandjtv be hating ;-;
And the reason is those flippin sausage nipples
I was kind of hype when i saw the run a couple of days ago.
Now that i saw its all hacked, danm. you got us

Check out Smallant he's done 100s of challenges like this
Honestly watching this filled me with satisfaction because when I first played Pokémon Y, the first encounter I got, that wasn't the guaranteed Pidgey, was a shiny Fletchling and I have great memories of that beautiful bird.
I've got a very similar story, except my first shiny was Mawile (in Y)
Playing pokemon for over 10 years and my first shiny (besides the red gyarados at lake of rage) is regirock in swsh. Pretty cool but also kind of bitter it took more than 10 years to find a shiny.
You hate to hear it
I been playing since pokemon platnium and the first ever shiny was a hariyama i found when going through victory road in omega ruby, so i caught it and named it cancer, then traded it for a larvesta named Pork, sadly lost the game
Tbh i really thought that red gyarados was like the wallmart version

I never did any shiny hunting so I never legit caught one until Sword and Shield when I just randomly caught a shiny mantike.
One time, in a nuzlocke, I got 2 random shinies in swsh
Mine was in brilliant diamond and it was a random gel dude after I said if I see one more geodude I will kill it spoiler I didn’t
You put your Body through way to much for these videos and we thank you for it.
Glad you enjoy them :)
Don’t know. I’m one of those people who have never got to even SEE a shiny Pokémon.

You got so many sick shines, worth it I'd say
For sure worth it
I've never actually encountered a shiny in the wild and the only shiny I've ever seen in a Pokemon game itself is my sister's shiny swablu
I think you are in the vast majority
@@Quinnjamin I saw a shiny garydos in heart gold 😈😈
pro tip don't use repel if you want shinies useless you are only going for a certain shiny and using it in older gens to only get people with a certain level to appear
U have no idea how satisfying it is to finally go and see someone is smart and realizing honedge just easily sweeps Korina
This guy scares me. If you have the dedication to do this run, you are a true champion.
its a lot easier when running the game at 10x speeds. odds equate to 1/409 when you do that.
I tried this very same challenge, with the exception that I could catch ANY shiny because I wanted cool shinies. Caught 3 Bidoof on route 22 before giving up and never made it pass Dendemille because I couldn't stomach another hunt. My respects for pushing through all of that and finishing the challenge.
NGL, that trainer in Reflection Cave is the most difficult part of the game
When he said, “That must be why they made it [Lumiose City] so hard to navigate,” he sounded just like Akechi from Persona 5.
You definitely outdid yourself on this one!! :) Fantastic job!
I appreciate that I’ve been focusing a lot on improving the quality of my videos recently so this is really nice to hear
Why are these so dam entertaining jesus my day just flew by
i have about 300 hours of different Pokémon games under my belt but... fun fact... not once have i ever come across a shiny
RIP
8:00 *"MandJTV wants to know your location"*
This kind of reminds me of my Ultra Moon run where I ended up finding four shiny Poke's, without resets...I couldn't believe my luck.
I have been trying to nuzlocke Eternal X for so long, I was actually surprised by the first gym only having two Pokémon
I am so glad that you did this challenge without boosting the shiny odds or changing the game. It makes things feel legit in my opinion
It might feel legit but watch the exp on every pokemon every time he is in a gym battle. Its always 0. Do you know how hard it is to do that while playing legit?
It isn't check desc

This is the most insane Pokémon play through I’ve ever seen.
Bro what is up with the mid rolls I had literally 12 ads. Kinda makes it hard to watch ur vids when there’s a whole minute worth of 5 second ads
