I hate limited time events, because when I was a kid I had no way of accessing those Pokémon and now I and many others will never be able to get any of them (Jirachi, Celebi, etc.)
I'm still salty they shiny locked the starters. I mean in every game thus far, other than Let's Go, you could get a shiny at the start of your adventure! But then it was announced they were locked and it broke my heart, I wanted a shiny baby with my first adventure! I mean, yes you could breed them later, but it's not the same!
My friend tried to surprise me with getting a shiny lunala in ultra moon He got 10,000 sr’s in and then told me When I told him it was shiny locked he flipped out
I just wish they released the mythicals in the games like how they did Deoxys in ORAS. Can we just obtain them or shiny hunt them without some ridiculous distribution event?
One of my favorite things in old school pokemon was going to remote places in mountains and caves, and traveling deeper into it than the game has ever allowed you before, and you find this powerful beast with extremely low catch rates. We just dont have that anymore I pokemon. And that is sad.
That explains why more people got a hold of shiny Mew and now shiny Zeraora. I remember people used to trade a bunch of shiny Mew during the XY/ORAS days.
@@THGMR-ox7sd it's still impossible to get shiny Zeraora if you don't have a smartphone and a Nintendo account. I heard you can't trade it either but I think they patched it so you can trade and use it in max raids.
Honestly, GameFreak need to do more events for several countries outside of Japan (Japan had way too many events for popular regular Pokemon and certain legends) and give away more mythical Pokemon than legendary Pokemon. Not region locked and not shiny locked once the shinies are released.
@@JamTube01232 Japan still get like a dozen events a month from shiny eggs to shiny legends while we have to wait like every year for something like a "rare" Pokemon with hidden abilities or egg moves for competitive battles when we can get those easily in certain games (like a Galarian Mr. Mime... really?) and we rarely get shiny legends now and especially (once again, shiny locked) myths that coincide the movies. How are you okay with this? We never had to wait this long for event Pokemon before XY and there used to be way more events before XY. Also Pokemon games aren't made only in Japan. We just saw someone from America in the Pokemon Direct and we also had another American game designer who just died from a car crash in Washington about 2 years ago. Thankfully his daughter is still alive when she was with him.
@@ElectroBlastLuigi the rest of the world wont get events like japan considering videos like this are moaning about going to stores to get event pokemon. The players in Japan I would guess don't complain about going to the Video Game Store etc for events
When I was 7, the one of our many malls had a Pokemon Stadium event where you could get a Mew. My dad and I drove an Hour and a half out and stood in line for hours to get that Mew. It was awesome... When I was 7. I'm 27, I'm not doing that. I'm fine with GS/Best Buy/Target codes. They can still put an "event" behind it like Shaymin and Darkrai, even though it was never really anything wild outside of Deoxys. But no, don't change how you actually get the code.
I was deeply frustrated by the Galar starters being shiny locked in the beginning because I was so hyped to try and get a shiny scorbunny to start off with but then they locked them.
just remember sinnoh.... the fact they released multiple events to travel to loads of random areas to catch darkrai, cresselia, shaymin, manaphy and arceus shows how much effort they put into older games. Love this vid dan agreed with everything! :p
I think Regice’s shiny form should be like an emerald green. Not only would it be a straight up cool color palette, it would also be a subtle reference to its game of origin. Be it Pokémon Emerald. The definitive version for Ruby and Sapphire.
As someone who hunted one in ORAS let me say you will lose your sanity. I had to catch 10 regular regice because I thought they could have been shiny. I got one at the end...but at a tremendous cost.
In the form of a Jon Tron reference: “I have several questions” Were there a lot of save states? How many ultra balls were used? Did you have to restart the same game multiple times? Answering one of these questions is fine.
I got my shiny regice in USUM third encounter. I dreaded that hunt and had just completed regirock... i freaked. Didn’t even notice the color until the star shined
This might sound off topic at first but stick with me to whomever reads this: I do not drive or have a car I take the bus to and from work and have for years. Why this is relevant to this discussion is because most of the majority of the time I have been near a gamestop for distribution events for various shinys and mythical pokemon where Gamestop was required I had to go the heck out of my way just go get to a Gamestop. It be like my city bus ride to and from work is already 2 hours-ish as it is and because of my work schedule and gamestops store hours usually I barely had time before they closed to get to one or it was so out of the way on certain days I never got to one unless I had a ride. And to top that off if that was not bad enough I have been to a few of them at the time there were giving out codes to various pokemon related games for various event distributions within them a few times THEY DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE DAMN CODES IN STOCK YET. I mean they are supposed to have the damn codes ON THE RELEASE DAY OF THE EVENT. I dunno what it was back then but it be like Gamestop with some of these code events just cannot get their **** together on time for events when they do happen sometimes and it bugs the heck out of me. One night at work I got home and it was 10pm-sh and I usually get home an hour in a half after that and I was soooooo upset that they would not give me the damn code. I do not wanna rant too long but I will say in conclusion if I had my way they would end Gamestop Distribution code distribution an simply email people the event code that is the email of their Nintendo Account. They way Gamestop is going they are becoming less and less reliable with this kind of thing. Rant over.
Another thing that grinds my gears although Arceus, Genesect, and Diancie are no longer shiny locked, they're still shiny locked for people who DON'T LIVE IN JAPAN!!! Before anyone tries to defend them, yes I'm fully aware that Gamefreak is in Japan, but it's not fair that they have 3 shiny Mythicals that the rest of the world has to hack for or be lucky enough to have a very generous Japanese friend to trade them. Also, speaking of hacking, I've raided with a large amount of people who somehow managed to bring a shiny Keldeo into the raids. Somehow, Keldeo's the only shiny locked Pokemon that can be used online in its shiny variant. So, it may be possible that we'll be getting a legit shiny Keldeo event.
The only shiny locks I understand is the events for the Ash Cap Pikachus and Battle Bond Greninja. But there still should be a way to get a shiny of them.
It would be cool if the Shiny Charm had the added functionality of enabling sidequests that guaranteed a Shiny if you beat it. Just make them really challenging, like Final Fantasy superbosses, so that gaining the Shiny shows that you have skills.
I don't really even care about getting them shiny, I would just like a way to get mythicals normally without having to rely on extremely rare, limited time, specific retail location distributions or random hackers who put them on WT, which I honestly don't know how to feel about given GFs stinginess. It's a real "great" game mechanic you have when people go out of their way to hack a pokemon in just because there really is no alternative way to get it. It's especially bad if you either have mythicals your friends want or you're a smogen player, where those pokemon are actually commonly used competitively.
Shiny locks are a big mistake in the Pokemon games. If someone wants to hunt a particular shiny Pokemon, let them do it! And it seems like, *IT’S GONNA CONTINUE!* Because they have been in the games since gen 5, it won’t surprise me if they continue it. Let us shiny hunt these Pokemon, game freak! I’m looking at u!
A drive when I discover your channel I was confused with myself but videos made feel like I'm not only nobody really like me at my school but you made more happy and I just wanna say ty for making me happy inside more cause I was getting sad and just not happy but I'm fine now thanks to you a other poketubers and just ty u made me feel like me and I've never felt more happy in my life so tysm for making us laugh and making our day u r a good person and u can make a impact on the world and yea u probably won't see this so yea Ps cool video and I agree
All Pokemon are coded to be shiny in case it ever happens to not let the game crash. This way a glitch or cheated shiny will not bug out your game. It's a fail safe to make sure no shiny Pokemon crashes the game. They just code them in with all the Pokemon data VS trying to weed out the few that can't be shiny.
Could see the anger just start to overflow. Tbh without having the shiny versions its just a catch and throw it in a box. Unless I need it for the dex and its unattainable I dont even bother getting it from Gamestop LUL
I feel like Pokemon deliberately made all of the really good mythical shinies in Gen 5 and 6 just to shiny lock them for eternity and never give them to us. It makes no sense, it's almost like they just forgot Gen 5 and Gen 6 mythical pokemon had shinies and just skipped right to gen 7.
"Does anyone really like GameStop?" *raises hand* I actually do. I just bought a Switch Starter bundle from them. And they are the only pure video game store in my town. I don't trust Walmart to get game consoles or games from. Only other place I'd trust is Best Buy but since they haven't had any Switches come in stock there, I bought the Switch from GameStop.
I bought a lot of my older legit Pokemon games from them back in the day. Now, you have to pay extra on Amazon, *ESPECIALLY* for HGSS (I don't trust Ebay type sites). It's why I haven't bought B2 yet.
I have wished for years since distributions started that they would have put a lore or something in game that made getting the mythicals more like an achievement and shiny huntable
I love GameStop. Been going there for years. They treat us great and hook up my daughter with stuff every now and then. Think about this, if Nintendo allows it to happen, is it Gamestop's fault?
Not to mention, there's been several times where they'll "you want a few extras" me. I've got 3 of all the shiny Kalos legends because of my local GS. I had to go to an event for New back when I was 7 where hundreds of kids packed into a mall waiting to get a Mew put into their game. My dad drove me an hour and a half out, waited in line, and I finally got that Mew. I'm 27, you're out of your mind if you think I'm doing that now lol. I'm totally fine with the GS/Best Buy etc. event Pokemon.
Watching this video just makes me mad lol, I’m sure coding and all that stuff is hard but since they have a team it shouldn’t be that much to ask for a little area that contains that specific mythical and make it able to be shiny hunted.
Another thing is; that most pokemon we get from downloads or distributions are always lvl 100. It be nice to raise them on your team imo.. If I get a level 100 Victini or something it's going straight to the box
Sorry I know this is old. But Ive been shiny hunting with the egg 🥚 trick. I’m trying to get shiny Litten. Are the alolan Pokémon shiny locked in sword and shield? I know there isn’t a way to get alolan richu without transferring a shiny one from sun and moon.
I wish that all shiny locks where removed but you can only get it through a certain original method. Like you are forced to do a certain puzzle a different way to get shiny regieleki or regidrago
Considering they started shiny locking cover legendaries in Gen 5, and knowing that remakes (since ORAS) started shiny locking cover legendaries, it hurts even more to know Gen 4 remakes will probably have these shiny locks. It sucks... (Im still waiting for Az Floette, and thats not even available as an event).
One of my least but also most favorite mons are the mythicals, you got diancie, victini, and marshadow (all my personal fav mons) but lock them behind some bs limited time events. You'll rarely find one through trading and have better odds at just waiting for a new event to be announced
I’m pretty pissed about zacian and zamazenta being shiny locked😭 they are so amazing like some of the best looking legendary pokemon and their shinies are incredible, also I know there’s an event for them going on if you preorder brilliant diamond/ shining pearl but it’s only for South Korean players 😭
Yeah, iven though HOME pretty much broke when there was the Zeraora event, I would love to get something like a shiny Diancie, Also make it so you don't have to do it on HOME, maybe mystery gifts.
What really annoys me is that all the game shops where I live stopped doing the event codes years ago, so I never even had an option to get these mythicals or shinies. And here's betting that this Zarude event's gonna be the same...
It's so annoying dude! I 100% agree. It's like for instance when they released solgaleo and lunala they didn't get extra money for it so why couldn't they have let us shiny hunt it ourselves. It makes no sense at all. I hope in the future they see what it is we really want and that's NO MORE SHINY LOCKS! Unless they release the pokemon in dlc packages where we can then shiny hunt for them. Like you said a ticket to a little island. Love your vids man!
Yeah. I was so hyped for Dusk Form Lyconrock only to find out that I could only get it through a Game Stop thing. The nearest store for me is around 75 miles or so to the town it's in.
Shiny Locking is terrible because it's Game Freak deciding how you should play the game rather the other way around. They made it so you can't soft reset for shiny Galarian starters unless you bred for them. At the beginning it's impossible. Game Freak knew that players liked to soft reset for a starter, but rather than let you the player play the game how you usually do they arbitrary added this shiny lock restriction. Having something like a shiny starter should've been am amazing first experience whether you got lucky or soft reset enough times. The already have your money by this point. But Game Freak is forcing you to go through Galar before you can even get one. Same thing applies to not being able to catch high level pokemon without a badge. You can get their health down, you can give them a status condition, but now they can't be caught for some inexplicable reason. This has NEVER been a restriction in the past, but now Game Freak is forcing you to meet a higher requirement if you want to catch high level wild pokemon because they don't want you to be able to have a unique experience.
I cant remember when I got darkrai back in 2016 for the 20th anniversary, but I can remember going back and getting it in diamond through the server thats still online. Clearly the in-game events are superior in every way
That’s why I love pokemon emerald the most when it comes to legendaries, the process you need to go through to be able to encounter the regi trio is just amazing, it makes fighting it feel so much more like a legendary and deserving of the title.
I wish I could shiny hunt Mew in a more accessible way. I know you can but it’s almost impossible for a non-hard core shiny hunter to do so since you have to have the special event in emerald. As far as Pokémon you listed, i agree - Victini would be amazing!
By the way that event while coded in English the Old Sea Map was never given out so if you want to hunt it in a legal game you need Japanese Emerald as hunting in English is more cheating because they never gave out the item so to have it be legal fully gotta make sure you go Japanese to hunt the Pokemon in the one game it was ever found in. Making that hunt one of the hardest to do if you care about making sure your Pokemon could have existed on a legal level outside of hacking the item.
Agree. Theres nothing fun and engaging about going to GameStop to be pressured into signing up for Game Informer , or how I need to get their GameStop card . Lol.
I really would have liked to be able to hunt Shiny Zacian since it’s a nice powder blue. The one Pokemon that I STILL can’t Shiny hunt is Zygarde. Shiny Zygarde is my favorite Shiny Pokemon and it sucks to only be able to get it through distributions. My GameStop doesn’t even get the distribution cards which happens more than often. I REALLY hope The Crown Tundra has Shiny Hunting Legendaries and a legitimate hunt-able Zygarde.

Not to mention, there's been several times where they'll "you want a few extras" me. I've got 3 of all the shiny Kalos legends because of my local GS.
I had to go to an event for New back when I was 7 where hundreds of kids packed into a mall waiting to get a Mew put into their game. My dad drove me an hour and a half out, waited in line, and I finally got that Mew. I'm 27, you're out of your mind if you think I'm doing that now lol. I'm totally fine with the GS/Best Buy etc. event Pokemon.
For walking animations, tangrowth! He’s super derpy and I love how his vines shake/jiggle 😂
Still waiting on volcanion shiny 😒
I love these rant videos.
After x/y...I gave up on these stupid code "events" ever ending.
Mapizzafood made a really good video about how shiny locks are pointless. Definitely a really good video that I would recommend checking out.
Watching this video just makes me mad lol, I’m sure coding and all that stuff is hard but since they have a team it shouldn’t be that much to ask for a little area that contains that specific mythical and make it able to be shiny hunted.
Zarude:shiny locked*
Hop in a randomized playthrough: Yea how about no
Adrive: the last pokemon is shiny Zarude
Blaines: *shows off the shiny Zarudes he has*
You can get the megerna now if you complete the pokedex on the pokemon home app but you cant send it anywhere yet
Another thing is; that most pokemon we get from downloads or distributions are always lvl 100. It be nice to raise them on your team imo.. If I get a level 100 Victini or something it's going straight to the box
Now some of these are available through dynamax adventure such as zygarde a.k.a
best shiny legendary
First video ive seen of yours! So cool:)
Maybe they are going to do global events like how we got Shiny Zeraora. "Beat X Pokemon 1 million times in raid battles to get this Shiny Pokemon"
I love these rant videos
There’s one series of Pokémon game’s that deserves a remake and that was x and y
Agreed! *ESPECIALLY* since it never got a 3rd game
Sorry I know this is old. But Ive been shiny hunting with the egg 🥚 trick. I’m trying to get shiny Litten. Are the alolan Pokémon shiny locked in sword and shield? I know there isn’t a way to get alolan richu without transferring a shiny one from sun and moon.
only the actual gifts are shiny locked, breeding for them isn't shiny locked as long as they have a lower base form with an Alolan variant
I wish that all shiny locks where removed but you can only get it through a certain original method. Like you are forced to do a certain puzzle a different way to get shiny regieleki or regidrago
GameStop: Closes down
Gamefreak: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Thank you Iv been waiting for this update lol
Would you want a Gmax version of Vikavolt?
aDrive! It’s me! Remember from yesterday?!
What if there was a Pokémon game where regular Pokémon were more rare then shiny..
Remember how you could go to new moon island and shiny hunt for darkrai? Yeah that’s when the events were cool and engaging
Considering they started shiny locking cover legendaries in Gen 5, and knowing that remakes (since ORAS) started shiny locking cover legendaries, it hurts even more to know Gen 4 remakes will probably have these shiny locks. It sucks... (Im still waiting for Az Floette, and thats not even available as an event).
Hey... can we have the in-store events in the U.K?
Good news! Keldeo is catchable in crown tundra. Still shiny locked tho.
Shiny kubfu ate too many hot cheetos
One of my least but also most favorite mons are the mythicals, you got diancie, victini, and marshadow (all my personal fav mons) but lock them behind some bs limited time events. You'll rarely find one through trading and have better odds at just waiting for a new event to be announced
The issue with the secret islands/ areas is that they have to be in the game before. Except for updates I guess.
I’m pretty pissed about zacian and zamazenta being shiny locked😭 they are so amazing like some of the best looking legendary pokemon and their shinies are incredible, also I know there’s an event for them going on if you preorder brilliant diamond/ shining pearl but it’s only for South Korean players 😭
don’t worry you will be able to get them in shiny form from a event soon
It’d be really cool to have more of those Global Raid challenges with the rewards being previously unobtainable Shiny Mythicals.
19 secs ago
Yeah, iven though HOME pretty much broke when there was the Zeraora event, I would love to get something like a shiny Diancie,
Also make it so you don't have to do it on HOME, maybe mystery gifts.
I'm annoyed that Zacian is shiny locked. *Sad wolf doggo noises*
I love the doggos yet no shinys :(
Shiny zamazenta looks better
Lets be honest tho even if the pokemon doggos were not shiny locked most people would still not hunt them
@@BobBob-yb9nt i agree i really love zamazentas shiny
Gaming Angel aCtuaLly iTs mAgENtA
What really annoys me is that all the game shops where I live stopped doing the event codes years ago, so I never even had an option to get these mythicals or shinies.
And here's betting that this Zarude event's gonna be the same...
It's so annoying dude! I 100% agree. It's like for instance when they released solgaleo and lunala they didn't get extra money for it so why couldn't they have let us shiny hunt it ourselves. It makes no sense at all. I hope in the future they see what it is we really want and that's NO MORE SHINY LOCKS! Unless they release the pokemon in dlc packages where we can then shiny hunt for them. Like you said a ticket to a little island. Love your vids man!
The GME recovery was REAL
Yeah. I was so hyped for Dusk Form Lyconrock only to find out that I could only get it through a Game Stop thing. The nearest store for me is around 75 miles or so to the town it's in.
Shiny Locking is terrible because it's Game Freak deciding how you should play the game rather the other way around. They made it so you can't soft reset for shiny Galarian starters unless you bred for them. At the beginning it's impossible. Game Freak knew that players liked to soft reset for a starter, but rather than let you the player play the game how you usually do they arbitrary added this shiny lock restriction. Having something like a shiny starter should've been am amazing first experience whether you got lucky or soft reset enough times. The already have your money by this point. But Game Freak is forcing you to go through Galar before you can even get one.
Same thing applies to not being able to catch high level pokemon without a badge. You can get their health down, you can give them a status condition, but now they can't be caught for some inexplicable reason. This has NEVER been a restriction in the past, but now Game Freak is forcing you to meet a higher requirement if you want to catch high level wild pokemon because they don't want you to be able to have a unique experience.
aDrive would lowkey be a idealistic game director I'd work for
You know what Grinds My Klinklang?
I don't even care about the shinies that much
I just want to be able to get some of these Pokemon in general
I cant remember when I got darkrai back in 2016 for the 20th anniversary, but I can remember going back and getting it in diamond through the server thats still online. Clearly the in-game events are superior in every way
That’s why I love pokemon emerald the most when it comes to legendaries, the process you need to go through to be able to encounter the regi trio is just amazing, it makes fighting it feel so much more like a legendary and deserving of the title.
Did you get a new camera and microphone or something? The video and audio seem a bit........odd.
Good video though 🥳
Well i got shiny zacian but zamazenta don't have him, from hacked raid before patch!
I see Reese`s boxes on your couch. I see your a man of culture.
Just to clarify if you buy Pokemon Crystal on the 3ds or whatever, you can encounter Celebi like a normal wild encounter???
I wish I could shiny hunt Mew in a more accessible way. I know you can but it’s almost impossible for a non-hard core shiny hunter to do so since you have to have the special event in emerald. As far as Pokémon you listed, i agree - Victini would be amazing!
By the way that event while coded in English the Old Sea Map was never given out so if you want to hunt it in a legal game you need Japanese Emerald as hunting in English is more cheating because they never gave out the item so to have it be legal fully gotta make sure you go Japanese to hunt the Pokemon in the one game it was ever found in. Making that hunt one of the hardest to do if you care about making sure your Pokemon could have existed on a legal level outside of hacking the item.
Agree. Theres nothing fun and engaging about going to GameStop to be pressured into signing up for Game Informer , or how I need to get their GameStop card . Lol.
Not pictured: Shiny Cosmog.
Even if you hacked, Cosmog doesn't have a difference shiny
You can actually soft reset for shiny victini. There is also a glitch to get the ticket in mystery gifts in black and white.
Victini is shiny locked. Doesn't matter how many times you soft reset, it won't be shiny
I wanted so see if I could Shiny hunt the galar legends. Kubfu/Urshifu and Zacian are my jam.
Thanks. 100% agreed, and I've ranted over it before as well. I think every shiny hunter would agree with this.
I really would have liked to be able to hunt Shiny Zacian since it’s a nice powder blue. The one Pokemon that I STILL can’t Shiny hunt is Zygarde. Shiny Zygarde is my favorite Shiny Pokemon and it sucks to only be able to get it through distributions. My GameStop doesn’t even get the distribution cards which happens more than often. I REALLY hope The Crown Tundra has Shiny Hunting Legendaries and a legitimate hunt-able Zygarde.
