This was such a great watch!!! Johto really does have so much heart and soul to it, and it was great getting to relive the Gastly moment and see your full journey. You hit the What Kind of Pokemon Are You SO smoothly during that Bruno battle omg
Would you say it has a heart of gold and a soul of silver? 😊
What a great learning experience
Congratulations! I remember my DTQ that I started on a whim in 2020 and ended in 2023. It is still my first and only DTQ and the amount of love I found for these games creating my team was wonderful. You grow a strong attachment to every team member and the personal journey of reaching each goal sticks with you. Mareep took me the longest and I got pokerus before I even found it. Despite using static, I phased on two rats and a bellsprout. I wasn’t counting at the time, but this hunt was near 250 hours. The elation I felt finding my mareep can never be taken away; I will always love my DTQ file and it made me love the game even more as a result.
3 YEARS!?…dang that hurt my ankles. what an absolutely insane journey dude!!!!
This'll be no march for our 17 years Shiny Trade Quest video!
3 years and STILL haven't beaten battle factory without looking up sets online or straight up creating save state before the battle and after losing I return to it again and try again
People nowadays are challenging themselves with nuzlockes aka nuzleaflocks but BATTLE FACTORY is where it's IMPOSSIBLE
What an amazing journey! Seeing that Safari 2023 footage brought back such good memories and I'm still so glad I didn't have to give you 100 bucks 😅 Great video, Kwik!
I couldn't think of a better place for the irl footage! I laughed so hard rewatching it while editing 😂
This was awesome to watch man, the dedication to complete this is awesome! HGSS are my favourite Pokemon games as well and the nostalgia was so real. Congrats on some great finds and the E4 run was great to watch as well 😄
Such a great video Kwik!! Really enjoyed experiencing the whole journey and the end of it with the E4! Keep it up!
Thanks so much, Oliver!
This might have been my favorite intro to one of your videos yet! I am so happy I got to watch most of these I'm real time when you found them. Congratulations on an amazing journey, bud! Can't wait for the next one.
man the shiny sprites following you are so cool. Excellent video!
One of my favorite parts of HGSS!
Thanks!
Incredibly well done video dude! Amazing achievement on the team and I’m not sure how, but you finally made an Elite 4 run entertaining to watch lol. Love the team, especially the Extreme Speed Dratini!! Can’t wait to see what you find for the next 8 badges!
Thank you so much, my friend!
I'm especially glad you enjoyed the E4 run! It was my favorite part to edit for sure!
I like the idea of going for shiny pokemon. Then i seen 3 or 4 guys sat round a table with around 8 gameboys each and i suddenly think im not made for this life 😂
@@ellisdavies7649 some people aren't made for fun. It's a hard life
a ton of fantastic finds bro!!!!!
amazing watch!!!
Thanks so much, friend!!
Very long journey that is.. :0
I love how you have done this video, you’re really cool!
Congrats on all the shinies through this insane three year journey!!
I felt this way with platinum. It was my first game and it lead to alot of stuff. I got my first shiny on that game when i thankfully knew what a shiny was and, i still have her. It was my first time discovering what pokerus was and then, finding a Poketuber that i still watch on and off (when he uploads) i found an Easter egg with crogunk in pastoria city when no one else was talking about it.
I kinda miss the days where you got to experience stuff without knowing but now, everyone is spoiling major plots and you have to speed run them just to avoid them...
But i did buy heart gold (for 130 dollars) and just recently defeated red. I used a mix of my team from platnuim and my team from heart gold. It was hard.
@@Sailor-Khione that's an awesome story!!
This warmed my heart👏
Your childhood copy of Heart Gold? My childhood copy is just Gold (2001) 💀
Shhhh. I am a child at heart. (I was in college when I got this HG LMAO)
i remember when i was like 7 years old i got a purple transparent gameboy color with pokemon red edition for christmas 🥲😄
New viewer and sub! Amazing vid, dude! Hope you had as much fun doing it as I watched it.
Thanks so much! I can't wait to get started in Kanto after Safari Week! HGSS is so cozy to hunt in!
I have a question, wouldnt it be more optimal to SR for a certain TID for 3 years then get ALL the shinies you want with a cute charmer
What a ride! This is making me want to pause my hunting in Crystal and start in HGSS
Switching back and forth when one isn't treating you nicely is always a good option! Can't wait to see what you find!
fantastic vid! my own soulsilver dtq will have started 3 years ago in a couple of months and it is my first time ever playing through a johto game! i only have 1 target left (steelix) before i can take on the elite four which i will pick back up after safari week (or maybe during safari week since onix is in the zone)
Can't wait to see the final team! Best of luck on your last target. I did the Magnet Pull hunt for Steelix in Cliff Cave - you can make it 100% iirc, but Safari Onix would be SO cool!
man its crazy. i have always loved shiny hunting and did on some older games. but never tried a sbq until like 2 months ago. i hopped back on SS and got totodile! still going now
That's so cool! Best of luck on your next target! I LOVE Totodile! Such a silly little guy!
OMFG DUDE I GOTTA SHARE THIS WITH YOU!!
I'm currently watching your video while playing Soul Silver, I was grinding levels and I ran into a SHINY RATTATA!! I'VE NEVER CAUGHT A SHINY IN SN OLD GAME!!
@@We_Trusty_Few HUGE congrats!
3 YEARS?! O_O honestly worth tho… also my favorite shiny outta all of them is the Gligar 100% makes me wanna hunt that now 👀
That Gligar was a dream shiny hunt! I had been wanting to do it for years. Can't recommend it enough!
I remember when I first bought a newly HG in 2010, on my very first playthrough, I caught myself a shiny Rattata between Slowpoke Well and Union Cave. I was kinda disappointed when it evolved to a red Raticate. Good times. Since then, I've caught a handful - Slowpoke, Aipom, Metapod, Geodude, Drowzee (my second one, first one was on the original Gold version). Fun story; back in the early-2000's, I started playing a new game with a Totodile. Early in the game, I encountered a shiny Sentret. Totodile was 3-4 levels higher and Scratch attack. Then, a freaking critical hit happened. Shiny Sentret fainted.
@@BreadFred3 oh no. You've definitely gotta reclaim that Sentret!
@Kwikpanik Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Reason I've watched your video about shiny Pokémon is because I caught a shiny Staryu today in the early morning.
@@BreadFred3 congrats!! That's SUCH a good shiny!
this video is helping me get through my hunts
I believe in you 💖
Congrats on all the shinies!
This video is incredible, absolute ten out of ten, the only video from your channel I ever saw before this was your Regi compilation. When I decided to click on this, goodness, absolutely grand. 8:40 DOG 👈
Thanks so much; I really appreciate the kind words!
What a team! Love the video
Long awaited completed journey ❤
Hahaha I just finished my HG DTQ recently too. It’s such a great game and putting together your shiny team feels so great.
edit: upon checking with my phases I actually have essentially completed a full (16) badge quest
I’ve been doing this as well as my first step into full odds and seeing these numbers, knowing how lucky I’ve been so far… I’m scared 😭🙏🏻
The odds always even out in the end!
Best of luck, and congrats on your good luck so far!
Dude I’m on year 2 😂 still stuck SR for shiny eevee 😭 awesome content 🔥 👏 earned my sub on this one good stuff 👏 and I thought I was the only person who says oh my Lanta my guy 🔥
@@gymleadermarchello3940 best of luck on your Eevee hunt!
Lmao I've been saying that for YEARS!
Everytime I see a Johto enjoyer, I subscribe, definitely my favorite as well
I love how much I agree with this man about HGSS. I first played it when I was six and I have played through the game many more times since.
wish i had that many heart gold copies aswell! truly best game ever! I remember getting a shiny pidgey on the 1st day the game released on america, i also got a shiny donphan on victory road when i was about to face the elite four and many more shinies since i had so much luck in that game, but those are the most memorable ones that were on my journey without shiny hunting :D
Dude, we are in the exact same boat. Started in gen 1 but came home to Johto. (Crystal for me)
Vacation is Hoenn and alola, road trip to the city is absolutely Unova but Johto... That's home. 💕
And yes, if you couldn't tell, Totodile is my fave as well. 😅
Starting my SR hunt for shiny starter in SoulSilver 🎉 Johto is my fave region I'm hoping I can get a few random shines during my playthru as well
@@PinkuPeachy best of luck to you! I hope you get your target!
Good luck with the kanto stretch of the journey and the Red battle (to make your pokemon true legendary Pokémon)
I've already got my starter hunts picked out! Can't wait to start them after Safari Week!
Bro funkos are taking over the world seems like everybody has one. Just ordered the pearlescent Lapras they released on Pokémon center. Just crazy to see it.
I have that same poof funkopop not a lot of people got him tbh. It was siting on the shelf’s for a while
@@Ls_corvette gotta love HXH!
Gonna do some Heartgold hunts pretty soon. Not gonna do a starter because i just don't wanna end up with a Chikorita lol. Gotta play through to get to the Bulbasaur hunt and transfer up my Deoxys
That sounds so cool! Best of luck on your hunts!
@Kwikpanik Thanks. Like a dummy I picked up the Bulbasaur without thinking my last playthrough so gotta play through again to do that 1 hunt lol
@@pokemonfreak6669 having Bulbasaur as a starter in HGSS actually sounds like a really unique idea! Hunt it, trade it to a fresh file, and go from there??
@Kwikpanik Nah that would be cool, but I'm doing a Bulbasaur quest. I got one in Leaf Green recently and wanna do Heartgold from after you defeat Red.
@@pokemonfreak6669 best of luck! I love Bulbasaur!
It took me a little more than a year to pass Heart Gold with only shiny and it was incredible, my team; Typhosion, Umbreon, Gyarados, Dratini (did not evolve), Ho-oh and Electrode
@@hedyatlas2180 very nice team!!
Done the same finshed last march, went for a shiny dream team, had feraligator, scizor, smeargal, bellossom, jynx and Persian two 2 years but worth it (got meowth and scyther from full odds eggs)
Such a cool team!
Great video👏🏻💚
I try a run in heart gold with only shinys too.
Think it would be a hard journey 😅
Only my starter needs more than 6000 resets….
At the moment I grind for the second shiny …..more than 65 hours and it goes on.
Best of luck on your hunts!!
What’re you using to play the game?
A Nintendo DS with a capture card!
Theres so much content in those games im still playing my original soul silver copy
I need the encouragement on my HG badge quest right now. Looking for shiny Entei or Raikou and grinding a pickup squad in Platinum to help break up the monotony
Best of luck on the roamers! It's such a cool hunt! I have two games going for Entei and Raikou right now! Looking to claim both eventually.
@@Kwikpanik can’t wait to see the video! Hopefully I can find at least one this summer
Hell ya, legendary!!
So, any idea how many encounters you've done since starting the channel?
I haven't really kept track the whole time, but in 2023, I did 265,000 encounters in generation 2-8 games (I don't count encounters in SV). I started hunting seriously in 2019. That should give you an estimate!
@@Kwikpanik you should try and figure it out and do a millionth encounter celebration. Your probably half way there
Great video bud
I can't believe I just hit subscribe to someone who has a wall of Funko Pops (sorry lol), but I have. Arlie was right, this video is a banger! Saving the rest of it for my lunch tomorrow...!
Everybody has their vices LMAO!
Thanks for the kind words!
Bro the best part of johto is slapping Red.
@@Johnnyversetti1 that shiny team is gonna have to be BOSS
Stantler just needed to hear you call him cute.
Hear and soul. I see what you did there
BlueBals carried the team 💪😤🔥
great video
How do you play Pokemon HeartGold in the 3Ds?
@@psykozen_ it's a legitimate HeartGold DS cartridge. 3DS plays regular DS and 3DS cartridges.
Bro I got 500 hours in this game and I only found a single shiny pokemon, a Poliwag 😭
I love Poliwag! Definitely a shiny hunt I want to do soon!
Sounds like you have some hunting to do too!
@@Kwikpanik yes, i want another poliwag for politoed!
Awesome 😎
And I thought my record of Toto was sick... I hit it at 63 resets.
As of now this is my team. Just need a Steelix to be done!
Feraligatr - 63 resets
Alakazam - 820 encounters in GC
Kingler - 570 RE
Dragonite - 22k encounters in GC
Ho-Oh.... 172 resets
Wish me luck!
49 for the starter is insane to me. i randomly decided to xomplete my first ever shiny starter hunt with my og copy of ultra moon i started at some point in eleventh grade and now im two years out of highschool i took some small breaks here and ther otherwise been consistent and still nothing. but i wont give up and waste all that time either so im locked in still i hope i get it someday soon before i get way to busy with life and i am unable to put time into a long hunt like this one.
@@gamer-jm6my definitely one of my shortest hunts ever! I ended up hunting all of the Johto starters in a video, and had another really quick shiny, but my target took over 15k lol
@@Kwikpanik dang15k is a lot I’m glad yours went quick this is my first time doing a shiny starter hunt and being committed. I tried a handful of times when I was a kid but as a kid I did not have the paitence to stick with a starter hunt for more than a. Month or two before I would give up. I’m way too deep now to give up. Sadly I don’t have a number of resets done I don’t keep track of resets because then it just makes it feel like a mind numbing chore just slowly watching the number counter go up. But I imagine it would have to be decently high by now lol. I just finished hunting till my 3ds died so I’m giving it a break for now. At least when I finally get it will be a cool memory but at this rate with how long this one took I dought I would try again on a different game just takes way to long lol I just wanted to do it once to say I did it lol
@@gamer-jm6my best of luck on your hunt! Keeping track of encounters really helps give you perspective on how long you've been doing a hunt! Highly recommend it.
@@Kwikpanik yes honastly looking back I wish I woulda so I knew for sure where I stood odds wise but I also understand why for my reasons I don’t. I’m sure the number had potential to be super high at this point I won’t give up though I’m to far in. I hope I get it soon though. I believe during my first playthrough of this game Rowlet was my first starter as well marking the first time I played through a new game not with the water starter I usually always chose the water starter lol. If I ever get it I’ll update you haha that will be hype. It is my og cartridge where I completed countless legendary shines and other shinies as well so the luck is on this cartridge no dought haha
Does anyone actually know why everything is so low-leveled in johto? Like is it to make the post-game not too difficult? Like it actually physically bothers me lol
Fastest ✨ I ever got was the dratini you get from the dragon elder. One SR. Only problem was that I didn’t know if you answer the question wrong, you still get a dratini but with no extreme speed. I was so mad 😂
@@toualee1430 ooof. At least the met location is still Dragon's Den!
amazing vid
What that your throat @ 26:38?
Wish I had a cute shiny hunting team ❤️
Hope you'll have a good day
Well I'm on 2 years now in Heart gold version still trying to make entei or raikou shine.. 😢
I have a team of only shiny btw haha
@@anira794 very nice!! I'm 4600 encounters into Raikou and Entei now! Hope they shine for one of us soon!
@@Kwikpanik hopefully they do shiny any time soon! Sorry it took a long time for me to respond there's a serious climate here affecting my online interactions. But hey I'm also hunting the shiny poipole in ultra moon and I'm at 1750 now and still no shiny yet 😂. I guess my shiny luck these days are going downhill when it comes to full odds but I'm not that far yet compared to HG roamers so we'll see. 😆
@@anira794 oh, I'm doing Poipole in US alongside my Rowlet starter hunt in UM! Best of luck to you!!
The amount of soft resets done on that poor cartridge lol
@@dusk202 this didn't even include the ones I did back in 2010 when I got the cart 😵💫
*childhood* copy of *heartGold.* God how fucking old am I
i respect the grind for safari zone but wtf is the point of doing nearly 21k encounters for something that can run after 1 turn
If it's so good you should mail me a spare copy of it so I can experience! (Not kidding 😂)
20k for a stantler is a little tough
The phases for this quest are 50% super quick and 50% mind numbing haha
Please play it on the DSI it looks 1000x better
@@patrykproscinski8436 I always do! DSi XL is my favorite console of all time! I have four different ones for multi hunting!
Through red?!?!
@@gymprincess995 stay tuned!
GAAAYYYYYYYYY
The game was rigged against Arnold, should have been a Gliscor smh
@@Lucarioguild7 never seen a Gliscor in Johto! Sorry, man. Must be one of those new Pokeyman
@@Kwikpanik Lol fair enough
now shiny hunt in PokeMMO
Are you gay? Sorry if this is a weird or offensive question
Shiny hunting is racist
😂😂😂
This video was so cozy!!
Great video
