I like to organize my home with separate boxes for gender differences and forms but I see the appeal of doing it this way. Props for catching everything in a pokeball!
The amount of details and hard work that was put into this is insane! I'll start gen 2 as soon as I catch the last ones I'm missing for gen 1. Great content as usual!
I can't believe I've not discovered your channel till now, this is my type of content, I'm going to try this out, keep up the absolutely incredible work!!
Am working on a kanto shiny living origin dex currently, also pokeballs only, in gen three. Will have a lot of breeding to do without flame body, when I get to the safari zone pokemon (had to catch them in colosseum/XD with pokeballs). 31/151 after 3 years. Hopefully Pokémon bank will stick around for a long time.😅
I am also just resently started attempting a living pokedex, kind of. I'm doing it in Pixelmon since there I only need to use my computer there. I only have a Switch otherwise. Hope you keep up doing these living pokedex videos man 👍
You inspired me to do this too. I finished gen 1 and now doing gen 3 because I was tired of the boxing system, hm usage and no running in the gen 1 and 2 games 😂. I’ll be doing gen 2 later. But I’m really enjoying this series! Keep this up!! Will be checking you on twitch.
I think the reason Mr. Mime’s name was messed up is that it’s name in Gen 2 seems to not have a space between the Mr. and Mime. It actually would’ve been worse in older versions of Poké Transporter, as it’s name would’ve become MR-MIME, since the period used in Gen 1 and 2 is different in Gen 7, and Transporter didn’t check for it. It used to also make Farfetch’d appear as FARFETCH D. However, there is a workaround for these shenanigans. Just name the Pokémon a word that’s censored in later games (use your imagination). Doing so will have its nickname outright removed when you transfer it, returning it to its species name.
Hahahaha that's an amazing workaround. Just give every pokemon offensive nicknames in Kanto and Johto and Transporter will work better for you. Amazing.
I normally named my Pokemon in old gens such as houndoom darkie. Not really understanding why that may be racist. Years later when I played sword I got censored for the first time.
I'm enjoying this series. I caught all the gen 1 and gen 2 pokemon from virtual consoles last year plus all unown letters. So I know how tedious this can be. I didn't use missigno either so leveling up for dragonair and dragonite was hell. I might mimic this challenge though for punishment. Great content man
Yeah leveling up them all for evolutions would’ve been so tedious in gen 1 but part of me wants to try and give every Pokémon pokerus and level them all up to 100 at some point!
I love this series. The only thing I would do different is put the regional variant Pokémon in the generation they were introduced. Mainly incase they ever release new variants in the future I wouldn’t have to reorganize all my boxes.
That’s totally fine if you want to do that. But I like going by Dex number and it really doesn’t take long to reorganize when they add new one every couple years or so
My Pokémon home is absolutely disastrous with something like 4,000+ Pokémon not sorted. Getting the urge to go in and sort it out due to your videos! Really loving the series as I find the completion of the Dex to be one of my favourite things in pokemon.
Just started doing the same challenge myself a couple weeks ago and found your first video. Your videos have been super helpful with my challenge. Keep up the great work!

I just gotta muster up the courage to buy the game for $150+ then also muster up the courage to shiny hunt one of the shadows lol

Another excellent video!! Can't wait for gen3. Since you like your pokemon to be caught in their original regions, I thought you'll want to catch the ! And ? Unowns in HG&SS.
Thanks! And I want my Pokémon being caught in their original generation of games. So I want those specific unown caught in gen 3 not gen 4! That’s why I caught them in fire red and leaf green, as those are the original generation ? And ! Were introduced in!
the video from kanto inspired me to do a living dex and im doing it the exact same way using the virtual consoles and boy its really hard good job to you for having insane dedication to do this ive already completed gen 1, 8 and 9
I’m also completing a complete Home living dex. My requirement is that I get every origin mark on every possible form of pokemon. I’m also running a Professor Oak’s Challenge in each region-generation combination. I started about a year ago, and I’ve finished Red, Let’s Go Pikachu, and Fire Red. On to Crystal-this guide is super helpful.
Ive been waiting for this video. late but happy to see it. I pity you with the amount of dunsparces youll have to catch for the 3 segment when compatability comes around
03:40 You can change the nickname in their original games to underscore letters. I remember I did run into a similar problem but forgot about it until I saw it here.
This series certainly inspired me to make another living dex! I had one complete with all forms at the time on Bank, but decided to keep in that generation to keep the shiny charm unlocking ability for those games, plus it gave me an excuse to do a big massive playthrough of every generation again. :D Also, I did the exact same thing with Mr. Mime, and it also stays in caps if you import from Gen 2 -> Bank, so it must be a quirk of the period.
Oh, I can't remember if I put this on the last video, but I tried so many times to get an Umbreon on my Japanese Emerald version. Sadly, with a dry battery, no matter what you set the time to, it only becomes Espeon. I even traded it to a bootleg with working time and it STILL became an Espeon! The only way to get Umbreon in gen 3 is through Pokemon Colosseum. I know you aren't going for it in gen 3, but I figured I'd let you know!
Yeah umbreon and espeon are tough in gen 3 because of that! Plus fire red and leaf green don’t even have time of day so you simply can’t evolve eevee into either of them in those games!
I made the decision to do this EXACT thing like two weeks ago and then stumbled across this!! Cool to see someone else doing the same insane challenge as me! One thing I keep thinking about is how I will get two forms of Thundurus and Tornadus without playing both games twice
Good luck! And yeah I’ve been thinking about the genies as well… I think the best solution I can come up with would be to use dream radar and get the genies to send into b2w2 the. Restart the file and do it again. But I still only have one copy so it would be tough to do that
I started the exact same journey last summer, except that I don’t catch them all in poke balls , I completed the living dex with forms and gender diff from their original region, now I’am catching every shiny with forms and gender diff lol it’s super fun and rewarding
So what can you do about the jynx and mr.mime in gen 1 if you don't have someone to trade with for gen 2 to 1 and you don't have another 3ds that has the games on there?
@@ThedomiNATION ok and thank you and ill just accept the npc one because I don't want to glitch out the red version of it and not be able to play red again or does deleting the save file fix it if it does glitch out bad?
Well, weirdly this is pretty much exactly what I've been planning on doing for a while, I had the idea of completing a full form dex (plus a full shiny form dex, though that will take MUCH longer) a while ago, and some of the main things I wanted was to catch them all in their original games and in the basic pokeballs, because imo they're the ones that look the best. I've been waiting to properly start on it for a while due to just not having the time, and I really considered giving up on catching them in their original games cos I figured it'd just be a waste of time, but knowing that I'm not the only person in the world who would do something like that honestly makes me want to do it more.
Kalos is actually gonna be the weirdest generation to do… I’ll have to explain a lot of what I’m doing or how I’m going about getting different Pokémon…
I hope that by the time you get to the gen 4,5,6 games you have a 3DS with a capture card. But keep up the hard work. I had a living dex but its missing a few pokemon from the last two gens maybe I will complete it again soon one day.
I had to trade through Pokémon Home’s GTS. Such a pain as most people ask for legendaries for them. I can’t wait for the next mainline game furfrou is in so this doesn’t need to be the only way to get them
@@ThedomiNATION I second that. I’m working my own living Dex and surprisingly Vivillon hasn’t been the biggest pain, but rather Furfrou. Because I know without trading or using Pokegenie, I can’t get them all.
Yeah lol. I’m trying to plan things ahead so I can do some of the static shiny hunts I want to while not having to restart that many save files. Poiple is gonna be rough for me lol
With pokémon like Bellossom and Slowking. I caught the first forms on my pokémon Red version. I then transferred them to my pokémon silver and evolved them. Then I sent them to Home, but it says they are from the Johto region. Is there any way to get this to say originally from the Kanto region?
It says whatever region they were sent up from. That’s why I traded the jynx and Mr mime back to a gen 1 game before sending them up. Unfortunately there’s no way to get those Pokémon back to a gen 1 game after evolving so you’d have to evolve them in a later game after sending them up from red and blue first
Not sure if this applies for the Virtual Console version (it should), but you can select "Move Pokemon W/O Mail" in the PC. This option allows you to move pokemon between all boxes and your party. It's much faster than doing it the usual way.
Just a small tidbit here on the roamer hunt: you can have a fainted pokemon in the first slot for repel trick, while still leading the encounter with a fast sleeper :)
Repels don’t work with fainted Pokémon. They will go off of the next Pokémon in your party that is capable of fighting. So if you have a fainted Pokémon at say level 34 and a level 100 Pokémon second, you just won’t encounter the roamer still
@@tanningbed I was actually curious if it was only gen 2 so I tested it and it does not work. You might be confusing it with people having a fainted illuminate Pokémon in the front of their party for shiny hunting. As out of battle effects for abilities still work even if the Pokémon is fainted
@@ThedomiNATION huh, more likely a mandela effect moment then, I was dead sure this was the case! Haha Anyways, love these videos :) i'm doing a similar thing, but for every gen, I'm doing a prof oak challenge + then finishing the regional dex on one save for the poster from the prof :3
Neither game you can get every johto Pokémon due to version exclusives. It would be easier to send the Pokémon straight from Crystal VC to bank then home. But SoulSilver would have normal catch rates and probably be easier overall!
This is the second TH-camr doing Pokemon videos in a row that doesn't seem to know that you can actually move Pokémon between boxes in Gen 2. It's the last option "move w/o mail" (something like that). It will save the game and lets you move Pokémon between your team and the boxes freely, just like in later versions.
You act like every Pokémon TH-camr needs to have extensive knowledge of gen 2 lol. I never really liked gen 2 so I have not played it very much. This video was the misty I’ve ever played it actually! But I’ll keep that in mind next time I need to move Pokémon around!
In Gen 2, if you use Move Pokemon w/o mail you can move everything around super easy. Never have to move things to your party. Just can't duplicate anything this way because it saves after every move.
Your videos inspired me to do my own living origin dex! I’m currently on gen 2 but will unfortunately have to restart my crystal save. I caught my Celebi and when I transferred it to bank, somehow it glitched and it turned into a clone of the Azumarill I was also sending to bank. Not sure how that happened but oh well, at least Crystal is fun
In G/S/C/HG/SS if turn your Radio to the Mysterious Broadcast while in the Ruins of Alph you'll have better odds of finding an Unknown you haven't encountered/Caught yet...
@@ThedomiNATION unrelated, but did you send mareep, flaafy or ampharos to crystal and bred them there to get same id as the others or did you send from gold to bank straight away?
When I was looking at the bulbapedia page for Dudunsparce to see what the odds were after the game first came out, I saw that it says that a Dunsparce with a Hardy Nature from a gen 3 game has a 1 in 4 chance of becoming a 3 segment form Dudunsparce! (Still at the start of the video)
Unfortunately since natures don’t exist in gen 2, I believe the value for the 3 segment is rolled once sent into bank and isn’t based off of the gender. However I plan to shiny hunt the 3 segment in gen 3 and that will make finding out what it evolves into much easier!
For future reference… only the Original Trainer ID can change a caught Pokémon’s name. Once you trade it the new owner of the Pokémon can not change the Pokémon’s name. You need to change the name on your Gen 2 file first where it was caught.
That’s incorrect. In sword and shield (and I believe also scarlet and violet) you can change a Pokémon’s name if you aren’t the original trainer. You can only do this if the Pokémon hasn’t been nicknamed already and after you change the name you won’t be able to do it again. That’s why I tried changing Mr. Mime’s name in sword and shield. I figured it wouldn’t work though as it’s name for some reason was MR.MIME and not the proper Mr. Mime so the game sees it as already being nicknamed
@@ThedomiNATION I can confirm that this is also true in Scarlet and Violet. 🙂 As someone who ONLY uses nicknamed Pokemon, I absolutely love this feature, because I can finally use Pokemon I get from trades. (except foreign pokemon, sadly...)
If you’re referring to my shiny mark challenge series, I’m still working on it as much as I can! If you want to see my progress, check out my twitch channel! I am mainly streaming the hunts for that challenge currently!
Same rules apply so I’ll be doing the originals. I wouldn’t want to get gen 1 Pokémon from gen 1, gen 2 Pokémon from gen 3, then gen 3 Pokémon from gen 8 lol
Currently working on the johto part of my dex! I'm catching most of them in soul silver because it's just funner, and doing the grueling process of transferring them up to the switch.
I love the Mr. Mime Name bug, gotta love them not implementing a check to change the period in Mr. Mime's name when it goes through Transporter. It uses the wrong period in its name in gens 1 and 2.
Daunting but inspiring lol. I’m trying with arceus after taking a long break. Finishing the tasks as well :) excited to keep going now that I have a system going
Not sure where you got that info from. But the 3 segment dudunsparce is determined by a hidden value that was introduced in gen 6. Upon sending dunsparce from older games into bank, it’ll randomly assign the value and it’s still the normal 1/100 chance.
@@ThedomiNATION per Bulbapedia: "Since Natures were determined via personality value prior to Generation V (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to Generation VI), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce transferred to Generation IX will have a 1/4 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce with other Natures will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form."
@@GiovannisDaedra oh my gosh lol I just completely misinterpreted the numbers though! That’s on me. I just saw the 1/4 chance and took that as the incorrect value. If hardy natures result in a 1/4 chance at a 3 segment and there’s 25 different natures, that would still make it a 1/100 chance. Thank you for sharing the info with the source though I was actually unaware that’s how it worked! I assumed the encryption constant was generated completely separately upon transferring into bank! My bad!
@@ThedomiNATION yeah technically the same odds when you encounter a dunsparce but I guess it saves transferring every gen 3/4 dunsparce to check nc you only have to check the Hardy ones. Gen 2 probably doesn't have the personality value set tho so kinda worthless for this
I was doing a living dex for Home as well but mine is a bit more extreme, what I wanna do is for each gen complete a living dex, meaning gen 1 has a full PC with a living dex, gen 2 has a full PC with a living dex, gen 3 has a full living dex etc etc (meaning I won't trade up the completed dex to the next gen, so I'll have 9 gens with all the pokemon [or in gen 8+ all the possible pokemon]) also all forms/gender differences except in gen 1s case since they didn't have differences, the only thing I'm not doin as my reasoning is above is catching the pokemon in the earliest game possible since unless it's impossible to get without trading up (I.E the 3 birds and Mewtwo I have to get in RBY to get in GSC) I dont wanna trade up, this next part is a rant, but I found my 1st even gen 2 shiny (that isn't odd egg or gyarados) and I failed it cause I panicked. I just started and had a lvl 16 poliwag and lvl 20 quilava, found a shiny lvl 4 rattata and only had 2 great balls, I started the fight used a great ball and it broke out so what I was doing was just sending out my pokemon after eachother to just have it was PP and then use struggle and hurt itself, when it would be in orange or red HP I was gonna use hypnosis with poliwag but since it kept damaging my mons I used a potion and since it saved the last location of my cursor I forgot that beside it was run (since I was used to just hitting right to swap pokemon) and hit run. I was so sad. Also Tho it's still a bit tedious, there is a way to move pokemon around without having to add them to your party on gen 2, if you hit "Move pkmn not holding mail" or something along those lines it'll give you acess to all 14 boxes and your party and you can move them around as you like, like I said still tedious, but so so so much better then adding to party and depositing them
Still praying for the day they announce a switch Stadium title where we can amass our mons from home into one game sort of like how you could copy your PC boxes from DPPt & HGSS into Battle Revolution
You can. I assumed you couldn’t so I sent up both my hoopa confined into home only for them to be locked into home for years. In SV now I can finally change hoopas form but I’m gonna wait until I get to the gen 6 part of this series!
For the Beasts I used a Haunter that I gave vitamins for speed; it has mean look and hypnosis. I'm also doing a similar challenge; living dex with all pokemon from their debut games. Tho I'm not doing genders or using old pokemon for evolutions/forms from newer games. I am collecting the genders but not making them come from the originals as long as I have one gender that is from the debut game. genders and forms I putting in boxes at the end personally. So far I have gen 1 and 2 done and I've been kinda doin gens 3-5 at the same time cause gen 4 and 5 wont let you transfer pokemon up until you reach a certain spot or task later in the game.
Can you please do Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Full Gen 3 Living Dex in regular Pokéballs, please? Please do it right now as soon as possible! When will this video be released?
*You probably made an error in this video (which isn't mentioned in the video later on):* - You mentioned that 2x Slugma were caught in Kanto. Did you breed them or not? If not, isn't it mentioned as caught in Kanto?
The “met location” of a Pokémon is based on the game their caught from not the actual region. So even though you can only catch slugma in Kanto in GSC, Becuase it was caught from GSC instead of RBY, it says it was caught in Johto!
For me personally I don’t count the remakes as original games unless the remake introduces a new Pokémon (like unown ! and ? From FRLG). But you can use whatever rules you want and make your living Dex based on what games you have!
Just to talk (and Flex a bit 😅) i've completed my livingdex with every regionale variant, but not from the originale games, everyone with 6ivs and with egg moves. I had too much free time
lol that’s some dedication! Congrats! Part of me wants to level my living Dex up to level 100 and give them all pokerus! Maybe I hyper train them all too!
I dont know why everyone makes the gen 2 roamers look so hard to get. Just go to the route west of ekrutek city with like 40 super repels and keep running back and forth in the grass. You wont fight any poke and after a while even without switching routes yourself the roamers will. You'll find at least 2 of them with 40 super repels. You could also run for a bit and if nothing go back into the building between the route and the city and then back to the route to have the roamers reset their locations. Just have poke with mean look and/or sleep powder on standby as well as a poke with false swipe or super fang.
There’s a mechanic in the gen 2 games that essentially makes it so you can’t just go between two routes back and forth. Yes it’s possible to find a roamer that way but it is extremely unlikely. If you go between two routes the roamer will just bounce back and forth between two routes until you start changing routes again. Along with that, the roamer has an extremely high rate of changing routes if you encounter a different Pokémon from it. So even when you get the roamer on the same route, you are still kind of unlikely to actually encounter it. And repel tricks can help that, but you need a level 40 Pokémon that can prevent them from fleeing that is also faster than them and that’s hard to do for someone just trying to catch all the Pokémon. All of these mechanics got removed in gen 3 and roamers from gen 3 and onward are WAY easier to catch. But that doesn’t go without saying luck plays a huge factor. I managed to find and catch raikou extremely quick and entei I for sure got unlucky with it in terms of catching. But yeah the gen 2 roamers are in general significantly harder to track down and catch than the other gen roamers
@@ThedomiNATION you don't have to change routes though, you just have to keep running on the same route with the repels active. They will change location after a while even if you dontmchange routes. Just get a lvl 40 use the super repel and keep running. I do this every time i play a gen 2 game to get all the dogs before claire.
Part 3 is now live! th-cam.com/video/UPgq1is8MNg/w-d-xo.html
I like to organize my home with separate boxes for gender differences and forms but I see the appeal of doing it this way. Props for catching everything in a pokeball!

Ive been waiting for this video. late but happy to see it.
I pity you with the amount of dunsparces youll have to catch for the 3 segment when compatability comes around
I can hear Matt (Absol) in the background of the Raikou catch, lol
So this man is gonna just be able to have a shiny charm as early as he can get in every future game
03:40 You can change the nickname in their original games to underscore letters. I remember I did run into a similar problem but forgot about it until I saw it here.
Really love the video. I wish the unfiltered reactions though were not 30 seconds each.
your account has inspired me to continue my shiny eevee hunt in pokemon shield after giving up! keep up the great work!!
Thank you! And good luck on the eevee!
This series certainly inspired me to make another living dex! I had one complete with all forms at the time on Bank, but decided to keep in that generation to keep the shiny charm unlocking ability for those games, plus it gave me an excuse to do a big massive playthrough of every generation again. :D
Also, I did the exact same thing with Mr. Mime, and it also stays in caps if you import from Gen 2 -> Bank, so it must be a quirk of the period.
Is that not a regional difference?
Yeah I think it has to do with the period and space in the name. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t do that any other gen!
Oh, I can't remember if I put this on the last video, but I tried so many times to get an Umbreon on my Japanese Emerald version. Sadly, with a dry battery, no matter what you set the time to, it only becomes Espeon. I even traded it to a bootleg with working time and it STILL became an Espeon! The only way to get Umbreon in gen 3 is through Pokemon Colosseum. I know you aren't going for it in gen 3, but I figured I'd let you know!
Yeah umbreon and espeon are tough in gen 3 because of that! Plus fire red and leaf green don’t even have time of day so you simply can’t evolve eevee into either of them in those games!
I made the decision to do this EXACT thing like two weeks ago and then stumbled across this!! Cool to see someone else doing the same insane challenge as me!
One thing I keep thinking about is how I will get two forms of Thundurus and Tornadus without playing both games twice
Good luck! And yeah I’ve been thinking about the genies as well… I think the best solution I can come up with would be to use dream radar and get the genies to send into b2w2 the. Restart the file and do it again. But I still only have one copy so it would be tough to do that
I gave up after completing the living dex for Pokémon sun and Pokémon let’s go eevee. I like the video though
I started the exact same journey last summer, except that I don’t catch them all in poke balls , I completed the living dex with forms and gender diff from their original region, now I’am catching every shiny with forms and gender diff lol it’s super fun and rewarding
ive been waiting for this
So what can you do about the jynx and mr.mime in gen 1 if you don't have someone to trade with for gen 2 to 1 and you don't have another 3ds that has the games on there?
Essentially you either just have to accept the npc traded ones or use glitches like the mew glitch to get yourself your own mr mime and jynx
@@ThedomiNATION ok and thank you and ill just accept the npc one because I don't want to glitch out the red version of it and not be able to play red again or does deleting the save file fix it if it does glitch out bad?
@@calvinmartz3181 the mew glitch is very safe as long as you save before doing it. People do it thousands of times to shiny hunt in it actually!
I was already working on a living dex but you inspired me to go for all the forms
Level 40 Gengar with Night Shade, Hypnosis, Mean Look & Spite is perfect for catching the beasts. Haunter is a good backup
Well, weirdly this is pretty much exactly what I've been planning on doing for a while, I had the idea of completing a full form dex (plus a full shiny form dex, though that will take MUCH longer) a while ago, and some of the main things I wanted was to catch them all in their original games and in the basic pokeballs, because imo they're the ones that look the best. I've been waiting to properly start on it for a while due to just not having the time, and I really considered giving up on catching them in their original games cos I figured it'd just be a waste of time, but knowing that I'm not the only person in the world who would do something like that honestly makes me want to do it more.
12:40 this raikou encounter was the least exciting thing i‘ve seen in a really long time
When ya get to kalos how will ya be dealing with the furfrou forms? They just go back to normal when transfering to home
Kalos is actually gonna be the weirdest generation to do… I’ll have to explain a lot of what I’m doing or how I’m going about getting different Pokémon…
I hope that by the time you get to the gen 4,5,6 games you have a 3DS with a capture card. But keep up the hard work. I had a living dex but its missing a few pokemon from the last two gens maybe I will complete it again soon one day.
Unfortunately I will not
At 0:18 how did you get all the Furfrou forms? Did you trade or actually go to those locations?
I had to trade through Pokémon Home’s GTS. Such a pain as most people ask for legendaries for them. I can’t wait for the next mainline game furfrou is in so this doesn’t need to be the only way to get them
@@ThedomiNATION I second that. I’m working my own living Dex and surprisingly Vivillon hasn’t been the biggest pain, but rather Furfrou. Because I know without trading or using Pokegenie, I can’t get them all.
Pokemon GO seems to have had a very weird effect on collecting Pokemon ever since they became allowed into Pokemon Home.
How do I go about acquiring the cap pikachus?
You unfortunately cannot currently get them. Best bet is to try and find someone who has extras to trade
I love this because I plan on doing the same thing, but I also want to do all the static shiny hunts first
Yeah lol. I’m trying to plan things ahead so I can do some of the static shiny hunts I want to while not having to restart that many save files. Poiple is gonna be rough for me lol
With pokémon like Bellossom and Slowking. I caught the first forms on my pokémon Red version. I then transferred them to my pokémon silver and evolved them. Then I sent them to Home, but it says they are from the Johto region. Is there any way to get this to say originally from the Kanto region?
It says whatever region they were sent up from. That’s why I traded the jynx and Mr mime back to a gen 1 game before sending them up. Unfortunately there’s no way to get those Pokémon back to a gen 1 game after evolving so you’d have to evolve them in a later game after sending them up from red and blue first
Not sure if this applies for the Virtual Console version (it should), but you can select "Move Pokemon W/O Mail" in the PC. This option allows you to move pokemon between all boxes and your party. It's much faster than doing it the usual way.
That is helpful but simply sending them up as soon as the box fills up was the most efficient way for me
Just a small tidbit here on the roamer hunt: you can have a fainted pokemon in the first slot for repel trick, while still leading the encounter with a fast sleeper :)
Repels don’t work with fainted Pokémon. They will go off of the next Pokémon in your party that is capable of fighting. So if you have a fainted Pokémon at say level 34 and a level 100 Pokémon second, you just won’t encounter the roamer still
@@ThedomiNATION i'm 99% sure it does in earlier gens tho? Or is it only later? Ik people use this for shinyhunting
@@tanningbed I was actually curious if it was only gen 2 so I tested it and it does not work. You might be confusing it with people having a fainted illuminate Pokémon in the front of their party for shiny hunting. As out of battle effects for abilities still work even if the Pokémon is fainted
@@ThedomiNATION huh, more likely a mandela effect moment then, I was dead sure this was the case! Haha
Anyways, love these videos :) i'm doing a similar thing, but for every gen, I'm doing a prof oak challenge + then finishing the regional dex on one save for the poster from the prof :3
How do you get the GBC and GB borders for these games?
You hold select while
Loading the virtual console games up!
do you recommend soulsilver or crystal for johto dex
Neither game you can get every johto Pokémon due to version exclusives. It would be easier to send the Pokémon straight from Crystal VC to bank then home. But SoulSilver would have normal catch rates and probably be easier overall!
This is the second TH-camr doing Pokemon videos in a row that doesn't seem to know that you can actually move Pokémon between boxes in Gen 2. It's the last option "move w/o mail" (something like that). It will save the game and lets you move Pokémon between your team and the boxes freely, just like in later versions.
You act like every Pokémon TH-camr needs to have extensive knowledge of gen 2 lol. I never really liked gen 2 so I have not played it very much. This video was the misty I’ve ever played it actually! But I’ll keep that in mind next time I need to move Pokémon around!
lmao just commented this on your first vid! I ran into the same issue with Mime, and yeah the nickname is the way to go
In Gen 2, if you use Move Pokemon w/o mail you can move everything around super easy. Never have to move things to your party. Just can't duplicate anything this way because it saves after every move.
The saving makes it feel so slow tbh. It was honestly faster in gen 1 even though it had to save every time as well
@@ThedomiNATION that's fair. It just depends what you're trying to accomplish. Compared to Gen 1 it's still a million times faster.
I already have a full living forme dex in Home but now I want to do the same thing for the origin marks
Nice! And good luck!
Hey i have a question for the repell trick. Does every pokemon in my team need to be under Level 40 or should only my first one be under 40.
Only first Pokémon in your party. It needs to not be fainted though or else it’ll go off of the next Pokémon in your party!
Your videos inspired me to do my own living origin dex! I’m currently on gen 2 but will unfortunately have to restart my crystal save. I caught my Celebi and when I transferred it to bank, somehow it glitched and it turned into a clone of the Azumarill I was also sending to bank. Not sure how that happened but oh well, at least Crystal is fun
That’s really unfortunate about the celebi but good luck on completing your living Dex!
In G/S/C/HG/SS if turn your Radio to the Mysterious Broadcast while in the Ruins of Alph you'll have better odds of finding an Unknown you haven't encountered/Caught yet...
Gen 1 pc box limit 20
Gen 2 20?
Gen3-7+30
Whelp too late now lol
@@ThedomiNATION now you know for round 2 electric Boogaloo 🤣
Where do I catch the ? and ! Unowns, FR/LG or HG/SS?
You can get them in either game. If you’re wondering where I got mine specifically, I got them in Fire Red/Leaf Green
@@ThedomiNATION yeah I know, I might get them in HG/SS, instead of HOME saying they came from Kanto, this way it will say Johto instead of the latter.
@@ThedomiNATION unrelated, but did you send mareep, flaafy or ampharos to crystal and bred them there to get same id as the others or did you send from gold to bank straight away?
@ i just sent them straight to bank! I don’t care about the IDs as long as they have my OT!
I've been following along and was looking forward to this video. I'm not looking forward to trying to get Entei and raikou
Hopefully entei treats you better than it did for me!
When I was looking at the bulbapedia page for Dudunsparce to see what the odds were after the game first came out, I saw that it says that a Dunsparce with a Hardy Nature from a gen 3 game has a 1 in 4 chance of becoming a 3 segment form Dudunsparce! (Still at the start of the video)
Unfortunately since natures don’t exist in gen 2, I believe the value for the 3 segment is rolled once sent into bank and isn’t based off of the gender. However I plan to shiny hunt the 3 segment in gen 3 and that will make finding out what it evolves into much easier!
For future reference… only the Original Trainer ID can change a caught Pokémon’s name. Once you trade it the new owner of the Pokémon can not change the Pokémon’s name. You need to change the name on your Gen 2 file first where it was caught.
That’s incorrect. In sword and shield (and I believe also scarlet and violet) you can change a Pokémon’s name if you aren’t the original trainer. You can only do this if the Pokémon hasn’t been nicknamed already and after you change the name you won’t be able to do it again. That’s why I tried changing Mr. Mime’s name in sword and shield. I figured it wouldn’t work though as it’s name for some reason was MR.MIME and not the proper Mr. Mime so the game sees it as already being nicknamed
@@ThedomiNATION I can confirm that this is also true in Scarlet and Violet. 🙂 As someone who ONLY uses nicknamed Pokemon, I absolutely love this feature, because I can finally use Pokemon I get from trades. (except foreign pokemon, sadly...)
Any idea when the next ribbon master quest will come out?
If you’re referring to my shiny mark challenge series, I’m still working on it as much as I can! If you want to see my progress, check out my twitch channel! I am mainly streaming the hunts for that challenge currently!
What are you going to do for gen 3? The remakes or the originals?
The pal park is one hell of a grind six at a time.
Same rules apply so I’ll be doing the originals. I wouldn’t want to get gen 1 Pokémon from gen 1, gen 2 Pokémon from gen 3, then gen 3 Pokémon from gen 8 lol
That’s fair enough. Wasn’t sure if you would persist with the six transfer limit.
Currently working on the johto part of my dex! I'm catching most of them in soul silver because it's just funner, and doing the grueling process of transferring them up to the switch.
Good luck! I gotta send so many Pokémon 6 at a time when I do gen 3/4 lol
Imo the Classic PokéBall is the best so this is great
I love the Mr. Mime Name bug, gotta love them not implementing a check to change the period in Mr. Mime's name when it goes through Transporter. It uses the wrong period in its name in gens 1 and 2.
Yeah very wacky. Luckily I shouldn’t have to worry about any naming bugs moving forward… I hope
@@ThedomiNATION I recall there being a second one that has this problem, though I think it was specifically Farfetch'd.
Daunting but inspiring lol. I’m trying with arceus after taking a long break. Finishing the tasks as well :) excited to keep going now that I have a system going
Good luck!
In my origina copy of Silver version, I caught Lugia at full health with my last poke'ball, had no idea how insane a catch that was
Yeah that’s crazy!
@@ThedomiNATION i was pissed at how often it was using recover/rest that was a hail Mary catch and then some
I want to say only Hardy dunsparce pre gen 5 can evolve into dudunsparce and its a 1 in 4 chance.
Not sure where you got that info from. But the 3 segment dudunsparce is determined by a hidden value that was introduced in gen 6. Upon sending dunsparce from older games into bank, it’ll randomly assign the value and it’s still the normal 1/100 chance.
@@ThedomiNATION per Bulbapedia:
"Since Natures were determined via personality value prior to Generation V (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to Generation VI), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce transferred to Generation IX will have a 1/4 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce with other Natures will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form."
Since Natures don't exist in gen 2 I guess it wouldn't have the personality coded that way so ig it wouldn't work anyways
@@GiovannisDaedra oh my gosh lol I just completely misinterpreted the numbers though! That’s on me. I just saw the 1/4 chance and took that as the incorrect value. If hardy natures result in a 1/4 chance at a 3 segment and there’s 25 different natures, that would still make it a 1/100 chance. Thank you for sharing the info with the source though I was actually unaware that’s how it worked! I assumed the encryption constant was generated completely separately upon transferring into bank! My bad!
@@ThedomiNATION yeah technically the same odds when you encounter a dunsparce but I guess it saves transferring every gen 3/4 dunsparce to check nc you only have to check the Hardy ones. Gen 2 probably doesn't have the personality value set tho so kinda worthless for this
How did you transfer from the 2nd gen to the 1st gen ??? Did you use two 3ds?
Yes I use both a new 3DS XL and a 2DS
I’ve been doing the exact same thing for the past couple of months. I’m finishing sun and moon right now and then only have to do gen 1, 3 and 4.
Nice! Good luck on finishing it!
i love this series!
I was doing a living dex for Home as well but mine is a bit more extreme, what I wanna do is for each gen complete a living dex, meaning gen 1 has a full PC with a living dex, gen 2 has a full PC with a living dex, gen 3 has a full living dex etc etc (meaning I won't trade up the completed dex to the next gen, so I'll have 9 gens with all the pokemon [or in gen 8+ all the possible pokemon]) also all forms/gender differences except in gen 1s case since they didn't have differences, the only thing I'm not doin as my reasoning is above is catching the pokemon in the earliest game possible since unless it's impossible to get without trading up (I.E the 3 birds and Mewtwo I have to get in RBY to get in GSC) I dont wanna trade up, this next part is a rant, but I found my 1st even gen 2 shiny (that isn't odd egg or gyarados) and I failed it cause I panicked. I just started and had a lvl 16 poliwag and lvl 20 quilava, found a shiny lvl 4 rattata and only had 2 great balls, I started the fight used a great ball and it broke out so what I was doing was just sending out my pokemon after eachother to just have it was PP and then use struggle and hurt itself, when it would be in orange or red HP I was gonna use hypnosis with poliwag but since it kept damaging my mons I used a potion and since it saved the last location of my cursor I forgot that beside it was run (since I was used to just hitting right to swap pokemon) and hit run. I was so sad.
Also
Tho it's still a bit tedious, there is a way to move pokemon around without having to add them to your party on gen 2, if you hit "Move pkmn not holding mail" or something along those lines it'll give you acess to all 14 boxes and your party and you can move them around as you like, like I said still tedious, but so so so much better then adding to party and depositing them
will u do other gens aswell?
Weird question but with the Mr. mime and jynx situation. How do you trade from gen 2 back to gen 1? Do you need a 2nd 3ds to trade?
Yes. In this case, I had a 2DS and a new 3DS XL
@@ThedomiNATION thank you for the heads up! These vids encouraged me to start this challenge myself! (: super awesome and well made
@@joystickbott thank you! And good luck on yours!
Irc there was a glitch in Gen 2,l; if you used mean look on one of the legendary dogs, it would make them uncatchable if they used roar.
That’s in fire red and leaf green! I made sure to double check though before attempting to catch them!
@@ThedomiNATION Thanks for the clarification! Great vids btw!
Still praying for the day they announce a switch Stadium title where we can amass our mons from home into one game sort of like how you could copy your PC boxes from DPPt & HGSS into Battle Revolution
Unfortunately I don’t think they will. As they released stadium one and there’s no connectivity 😕
I’ve got a full 1-4 shiny dex I believe also got 7-8 too working on 5 and 6 and now 9
but can you have hoopa unbound in home , i’m pretty sure you can but i might be mistaken
You can. I assumed you couldn’t so I sent up both my hoopa confined into home only for them to be locked into home for years. In SV now I can finally change hoopas form but I’m gonna wait until I get to the gen 6 part of this series!
@@ThedomiNATION oh , i see
For the Beasts I used a Haunter that I gave vitamins for speed; it has mean look and hypnosis. I'm also doing a similar challenge; living dex with all pokemon from their debut games. Tho I'm not doing genders or using old pokemon for evolutions/forms from newer games. I am collecting the genders but not making them come from the originals as long as I have one gender that is from the debut game. genders and forms I putting in boxes at the end personally. So far I have gen 1 and 2 done and I've been kinda doin gens 3-5 at the same time cause gen 4 and 5 wont let you transfer pokemon up until you reach a certain spot or task later in the game.
Good luck on finishing your living dex!
@@ThedomiNATION Thanks!
Can you please do Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Full Gen 3 Living Dex in regular Pokéballs, please? Please do it right now as soon as possible! When will this video be released?
I remember i needed 5 minutes to find chansey but over 60 pokeballs with 1 hp and asleep 😢😅
My Plan is exactly the same between gen 1 and 2 but I also try to get every Pokemon and its evolutions in prior gens at the lowest levels
Good luck! Part of me wants to try and do the opposite and get everything to level 100 lol
*You probably made an error in this video (which isn't mentioned in the video later on):*
- You mentioned that 2x Slugma were caught in Kanto. Did you breed them or not? If not, isn't it mentioned as caught in Kanto?
The “met location” of a Pokémon is based on the game their caught from not the actual region. So even though you can only catch slugma in Kanto in GSC, Becuase it was caught from GSC instead of RBY, it says it was caught in Johto!
@@ThedomiNATION thanks for letting me know. I have bred some pokémon in FR/LG just to make sure haha
Would the remakes counts as “original game”. If i were to try this, i don’t have access to the Gen 1 games… but i have the remakes…
For me personally I don’t count the remakes as original games unless the remake introduces a new Pokémon (like unown ! and ? From FRLG). But you can use whatever rules you want and make your living Dex based on what games you have!
Just to talk (and Flex a bit 😅) i've completed my livingdex with every regionale variant, but not from the originale games, everyone with 6ivs and with egg moves. I had too much free time
lol that’s some dedication! Congrats! Part of me wants to level my living Dex up to level 100 and give them all pokerus! Maybe I hyper train them all too!
I dont know why everyone makes the gen 2 roamers look so hard to get. Just go to the route west of ekrutek city with like 40 super repels and keep running back and forth in the grass. You wont fight any poke and after a while even without switching routes yourself the roamers will. You'll find at least 2 of them with 40 super repels. You could also run for a bit and if nothing go back into the building between the route and the city and then back to the route to have the roamers reset their locations. Just have poke with mean look and/or sleep powder on standby as well as a poke with false swipe or super fang.
There’s a mechanic in the gen 2 games that essentially makes it so you can’t just go between two routes back and forth. Yes it’s possible to find a roamer that way but it is extremely unlikely. If you go between two routes the roamer will just bounce back and forth between two routes until you start changing routes again. Along with that, the roamer has an extremely high rate of changing routes if you encounter a different Pokémon from it. So even when you get the roamer on the same route, you are still kind of unlikely to actually encounter it. And repel tricks can help that, but you need a level 40 Pokémon that can prevent them from fleeing that is also faster than them and that’s hard to do for someone just trying to catch all the Pokémon. All of these mechanics got removed in gen 3 and roamers from gen 3 and onward are WAY easier to catch. But that doesn’t go without saying luck plays a huge factor. I managed to find and catch raikou extremely quick and entei I for sure got unlucky with it in terms of catching. But yeah the gen 2 roamers are in general significantly harder to track down and catch than the other gen roamers
@@ThedomiNATION you don't have to change routes though, you just have to keep running on the same route with the repels active. They will change location after a while even if you dontmchange routes. Just get a lvl 40 use the super repel and keep running. I do this every time i play a gen 2 game to get all the dogs before claire.
I'm just about finished with Kanto! Just need a few odd and end gender variants then Johto is next!
Can you do Hoenn with regular Pokéballs?
I will! I plan to do every generation!
inspiring me to start my own hgss living dex :)
That’s great! Good luck!
I had that same issue with mr mime. It’s really dumb, so I’ll just have to catch another one and nickname it smh
Yeah idk why that is. Didn’t want to take the risk with Ho-Oh so I’m still unsure about that one lol
@@ThedomiNATION yeah I’ll probably do the same, though if I had to guess it probably has to do with trading it to gen 1
