It seems I missed some of the history here that I didn't know about with BMP16 originally creating a challenge about Pokedex completion before Brock! This was sooooooo much fun to make (and I'm sorry if you randomly clicked on this video expecting something with purely gameplay lol). Also fair warning that some of the footage in this video may be a bit shaky so tread lightly if you get motion sickness very easily. I'm probably gonna do this again in another game someday, but for now, I'm gonna go back to focusing on some shiny hunting and training some Pokemon to - lv. 100, the pinnacle of power for a pokemon, very few pokemon ever reach this level. this is a-
Lvl 100 using only let's go in Scarlet? Can't wait for that video! It's so nice seeing unique parts of your life in your videos for context. They feel so much more relaxed and realistic because of it. Thank Calzone too
series of videos which I push Pokémon’s levels to the absolute limit by raising them to 100 in unconventional ways and environments because more or less im crazy. This is the level 100 gauntlet
I love how Absol choreographs his videos like you're his friend chilling with him rather than it being like the average gaming documentation video. Makes his videos so fun and wholesome to watch
Gotta say, this is one of my favorite videos of yours to date! It had a little bit of everything: friends, travelling, level grinding, shinies, and a whole lot of humor! Thanks for the experience, Matt!
absolutely adore the format of this video. your vids are all so much fun for me as someone who really just loves and obsesses over the process (both of challenges like these and the making of videos themselves)
Dude please never stop these style of videos! I've been subbed for years now and all these years later I still love watching your content. This style is just so fun and creative. Can't wait for what you have in store!
The Zigzagoon community salutes your effort. Seriously a great video. I love the documentary style, and as a fellow Smash player, watching you catch Pokemon while @ a tournament fills me with joy. Update @ 22:20 - RNG POGGIES Update @ 44:00 - Golden Sun Music POGGIES Update @ 52:59 - Insane editing to transition from Cal Zone over to you. Its almost like you were the same person, but I know clever Premiere tricks when I see them. Update @ 1:03:00 - Absolutely insane quality. What glorious standard definition content.
I don't think people truly realise how great Absol is as an editor. For example, the shot at 53:00 . How does he seamlessly edit a shot that transitions Cal Zone to himself so cleanly. Like they are obviously two different people so I guess I just need to get better at Premiere to understand.
The Gold Standard for Absol vids: shinies, travelling, friends, Mountain Dew, Pokemon, a bit of a grind, and a hell of a soundtrack. Probably my fave vid to date Matt!!!!
This was such a delight to watch. The format of your videos and your particular style of editing is simply fantastic. I've defaulting to your gauntlets whenever I need something to watch in the background, so seeing a new, long upload to you was a wonderful surprise! Amazing work as always, Absol. The fact you got so many shinies while going through this challenge is just incredible, and I cannot wait what you have in atore for the future! I'm sure this video will be amongst the ones I frequently rewatch.
Your channel has sparked so much joy for me over the years, thanks so much for keeping this wholesome channel alive! I really enjoy watching these, its like hanging out with friend.
OMG seeing you and Ben in the background of mang0 and hbox playing was amazing! The visit to smashcon, seeing all the shiny hunters, the beastmodegaming visit, mrletsplayit and of course johnstone being in the video was so cool! What an amazing and nostalgic filled video!! Also your Pickachu gaining 58 exp from that weird whismur was cool! What an amazing challenge, I feel inspired to try something like this with one of the games! My only issue with this video is that it’s only an hour and 12 minutes long.
It's so cool to see that Matt(Absol) is always making content, even while making other content! This project must have taken a long time to make, but Goddamn it was worth it! Keep it up Absol!
52:58 How on earth did you do that Matt? One second Cal Zone was on camera and the next you were??? Either your editing has gotten way better or that was some real life witch craft. Loved the vid! All the traveling bits really add to it as always :) Keep up the great work!
I'm so excited that the video is done, I love anything to do with pokedex completion, I also love your gen 3 videos and hearing you talk about it in streams for the past how ever long had been an exciting experience. Can't wait to watch it !
I love your videos SO MUCH. They're so genuine and different. Combining authentic weird goodness with pure Pokemon fandom. They're perfect. Lovely entry in the series.
aaaa I'm already so amazed at your video quality, the professor oak replacing the menu screen, the pokemon all shown before each badge, these things go such a long way and i appreciate every bit of them
Finished watching this like an hour ago, and I gotta say you've completely outdone yourself! This video was a great watch while I shiny hunted in the background, and it's really got me in the mood to make some more videos! Can't wait to see what you do next and I'm excited for whatever's coming next :)
I don't play a lot of Pokemon or keep up with it at all, but I do enjoy your fun, silly, and informative blog videos like this. Very nice video :) I am also happy you pointed out the mechanic about encountering the same shiny Pokemon twice - I have a distinct memory of loading up Emerald and being somewhere in the water by the Elite Four. I surfed straight to the right and found a shiny Tentacool. For some reason, I turned off my game without saving not long after that and freaked out. Turned it back on, surfed straight to the right again and encountered the shiny Tentacool once more. All these years later, I'm not sure if I just imagined that happening or if it really did happen. Now I am fairly certain it did :)
ive been playing through my copy of emerald and I am so glad you told us your method of evolving feebas and because of it I've been able to get milotic in my playthrough!
Flashygoodness really is just a top tier composer Given how good Tower of Heaven's soundtrack is, I'll have to be sure to check out Bean Dreams's, and probably the game proper as well
it's been about four years since i've seen your channel. this video reminded me why i loved it so much in the first place. there's no other pokémon channel like it.
I always have so much fun watching people do this challenge, and it blends really well with your style of video making. Can't wait to see what you release next!
I’d just like to say that imo, your IRL playing is my favourite style of shiny hunting/gameplay for Pokémon games. I go back to your older live shinies from time to time (the Articuno one is a personal fave video of yours for me) because the extra IRL footage you include in your videos makes me enjoy them more. Fantastic stuff Matt!
Welcome back! Your absol themed mountain dew flavoured gremlincore cringe wholesomeness was sorely missed! It looks like you had a lot of fun making this video, it was very fun to watch!
you make very timeless videos, I get a heavy feeling of nostalgia watching these for the first time, you have a very abnormal passion in the eyes of many and you fan it well :) I've watched most of your vids 50 times on a loop and I'm excited to add this one to the list!
High quality content as always, ngl would love to see a sequel video where you complete the National Dex in this game, maybe even through other Professor Oak’s challenges
Im so very in love with you content, have been for a while!!! This was an amazing video to come to again and again to finish! ( Also sending thanks to CalZone... His character development towards the Oddish line... astounding... )
This gives me a lot of vlog vibes at certain times and honestly I love it. Seeing people being people is a refreshing inclusion that makes this video ten times a better watch than others.
i like this challenge and having you make a video on it makes it even better, along with great commentary you also always give a history lesson on where it came from
This video got me through writing my dissertation. I watched it dozens of times to unwind after a long day of research and writing. It just gave me the dopamine boost I needed.
I love seeing background projects that have been in a ton of videos finally get their own spotlight. This and the PBR costume hunt have both been chilling in the background for so long and now we finally have the whole story!
So worth the wait man, honestly might be my favorite video from you yet. So many cool cameos from everyone and it really felt like going on a grand adventure with this one. Congrats Professor Blogs 🎉
A very impressive yet chill and wholesome adventure as always. I appreciate the care taken with showing every step of the way and not rushing through the dex, especially with the IRL footage included alongside it. Theming the footage around the in-game areas (like going to a lake when fishing, or training at night when in a cave) is a really great touch as well. 🧡 Congratulations on a project well-done! (…now do a Ribbon Quest :V)
@@AbsolBlogsPokemon Awesome, I hope you get a good one at some point! I know there are a lot of cool shiny shadows that people have hunted. I have no doubt you’ll get something great eventually. 🤞 And again, fantastic Professor Oak video! Thanks for all the hard work you put into your content. Very much looking forward to seeing everything you have planned for the rest of the year.
I'm glad you're not doing a shint-only or lv100 gauntlet or no exp share or rare candies. I feel like the "challenges" for pokemon have gotten ridiculous to the point of not being fun anymore. Like with the Professor Oak's Challenge, it takes the game back to its roots of "Catching 'em All" and removing the use of exp share or rare candies just makes it take longer and doesn't affect the difficulty. Granted, I'm doing this challenge in the gen 4 games with shiny only, but that's ONLY because of the Cute Charm glitch. Anyway, great video as always. You're one of my favorite pokemon content creators because of how much genuine passion you have for the series.
I haven't watched past the intro yet, but I am in the middle of an AS oak run, and I'm excited as a guy who never had a Gameboy to see how different one of the og games are. My guess is that pokemon will be easier to catch seeing as mirage islands aren't as abundant, but grinding will still consist of pick-up luck in some of the worst possible places to grind in the series period. Can't wait to see if I'm right or not.
I love seeing you hanging out with your friends in these videos. Y'all look like you're having so much fun, and it's a blast (of the Baja variety perhaps?) seeing what you guys are up to outside of the video-specific challenge.
I recently found your channel and let me tell you that this is easily on my top 3 TH-cam videos of all time. The dedication, the effort and the passion that you put on this video is simply awesome. keep up the good work, you're incredible and remember that you're loved ❤
I just wanted to say that this was a very inspiring movie, and it made me want to start my own Professor Oak Challenge in SoulSilver. Thanks for being awesome, Matt. I’ll try and catch you on the steams more often!
For sure I know this was gonna be a good one And man we’ve been waiting for this one for quite a long time now, thank u Matt for an amazing video as always man
One of the best videos you’ve made so far, I’ve seen other professor oak challenges and they were good but the whole video was just them level grinding. You did the same thing but somehow made it 1,000 times better. Thank you
I was looking for a video to fall asleep to last night, long story short, I had to stop watching this and am now finishing it the next day because this is a well done video and nice to see the production and not just a screen capture. Great editing and what not, subscribed.
I've already watched this video twice! Would love to see you complete the Prof. Oak Challenge in all the other games. Love this longform content to listen to while shiny hunting :)
Loved being apart of this video dude!! So cool to see the journey along the way and all the travels you had while filming it. Long live Willard the Slaking.
56:32 Yes! Thank you for including a Pockey Card Jockey song in this video. I absolutely love that game (and it makes sense that you'd use it here because it's another Game Freak game). Okay, enough fanboying from me. I read your pinned comment and I just want to say that this type of video (gameplay + vlog) is a lot more enjoyable to watch than just a standard gameplay video. I mean, I mostly just listen to your videos while I do something else, but I think I can still say that breaking up the gameplay with brief clips of things you did in the meantime is really cool. Like, it makes your videos feel more personal which I think is a big plus considering other gameplay/let's-play channels are more "by the book" and aren't very much different than any other gaming channel. I'm not even that big of a Pokemon fan, but your style of content is what keeps me coming back, so I hope you will continue to make these videos for as long as you find them enjoyable to make. :-)
Wow, didn't expect to hear anything about Iowa in this video haha. One time I thought I saw you in my town and I thought I'd say hi, but then he pulled down his mask and had a beard so I decided it probably wasn't you lol. Excellent video! Edit: I went outside. Landscape really is beautiful. Thanks Matt
This was a really fun video and a refreshing version of the Prof Oak challenge. I wish there were more like this but I understand this was a longgg production.

Truly a day that is

I mean, I mostly just listen to your videos while I do something else, but I think I can still say that breaking up the gameplay with brief clips of things you did in the meantime is really cool. Like, it makes your videos feel more personal which I think is a big plus considering other gameplay/let's-play channels are more "by the book" and aren't very much different than any other gaming channel. I'm not even that big of a Pokemon fan, but your style of content is what keeps me coming back, so I hope you will continue to make these videos for as long as you find them enjoyable to make. :-)
this is my comfort video thanks matt
Wow, didn't expect to hear anything about Iowa in this video haha.
One time I thought I saw you in my town and I thought I'd say hi, but then he pulled down his mask and had a beard so I decided it probably wasn't you lol.
Excellent video!
Edit: I went outside. Landscape really is beautiful. Thanks Matt
This was a hoot to watch and the way you've edited it was fabulous. Good stuff
Amazing video. The movies are always my favourite content of yours. Feels like a journey!
This was a really fun video and a refreshing version of the Prof Oak challenge. I wish there were more like this but I understand this was a longgg production.
