      Ummm...I HAVE this shiny Jirachi.
      I only played Pokemon Channel once.
      I didn't even know about the Jirachi reward when I finished the game.
      So I thought it was SUPPOSED to be shiny.

      If you're really interested in hunting this thing there's a method of corrupting your game's save data that I'm currently using to hunt the wishmkr jirachi. I don't know for sure but I assume it'll also work for this. It's not rng manipulation or anything so it's still 1/8192 odds, but it cuts the reset time down to roughly 1 minute. The only problem is if you mess it up you run the risk of not being able to hunt jirachi on the save file anymore or just straight up deleting your save file, but if you have a way to back up/restore your save it shouldn't be an issue. There's a tutorial on how to do the save corruption by the domiNATION. (I would also recommend checking the comments on that video as there's a few ways to cut down the reset time that he doesn't cover)

      Also I think I've heard about the ~1/7000 odds. I'm not sure if that's true but even if it is I'm almost certain it's just a quirk of the colosseum bonus disc and doesn't have anything to do with the save corruption.

      @@mikey4505 “I’m a blisey” makes pretty good videos on the subject matter, he shows how to do it step by step for any particular game or situation. Gen 4 or 5 is definitely the easiest to work with, or gen 3 with a dead battery.
      I could talk about this for ages though, so word dump:
      The process is generally like: find a way to manipulate the seed generated each time you play (like a Minecraft world’s seed) that determines the “course” of randomness, then find out how to “advance” the game’s randomness until it gets to the point where a shiny is generated, then initiate the encounter. This is usually done by starting the game at a very specific interval after adjusting the consoles clock, and then performing activities within the game such as scrolling through your Pokémon, making phone calls, or waiting, which will advance the rng.
      This works because of the general structure of pseudo rng In the games (which varies from game to game). But basically the game will cycle through a wheel of 2^32 “Pokémon ID” which determine the stats, gender and nature (and Pokémon you’re encountering in tall grass), and the seed will place you at a particular point on this wheel that is closer to the shiny. The game will churn forward on the wheel through random activities that “advance” the rng. This usually creates an entirely random outcome, especially because the player isn’t supposed to have knowledge of what seed they start on, how many “steps” forward they are, and how that correlates to shinies, but we do through external tools.
      It’s important to note that In order to know when shiny Pokémon are generated, it uses the “Pokémon ID” in tandem with your trainer ID. To get shinies, you need to know your trainer and secret ID’s, which can also be manipulated to get “perfect” shiny Pokémon.
      Surprisingly, this is all pretty easy with the tools that dedicated nerds have made which have reverse engineered everything. the process is as simple as searching for when a shiny occurs and then picking one of hundreds displayed. then you are given all of the information you need to execute to get to that seed and point in the cycle.
      For games like channel though, it is a little more confusing. This RNG has less documentation and you would have to ask people on forums or discord if TH-cam doesn’t have anything helpful.

The moles take a chunk of the ground with them while airborne, and it is awesome.

      Aerial Ace is one of those 'lost in translation' things. The move name in Japanese is "Swallow Return" and is based on folklore of a legendary swordsman, Sasaki Kojirō, who had a technique called the "Swallow Cut." The move never actually requires flying, but reputedly resembles a swallow's tail in flight, so that's probably why it got the Flying-type designation.

    Another example of Game Freak not wanting to pull Diglett out of the ground is the move Telekinesis.

That is, unless the Pokemon in question is Diglett, Dugtrio, Sandygast, Palossand, or Mega Gengar, in which case the move will fail.

      To explain further: The anime is not real, in the literal sense. It's based off of Ash/Red's journey. In RBY, you are playing the events of Ash's journey that the anime bases how the story went. In GSC, you are playing as a new person who theoretically is keeping up with the anime and Ash, because you run into Red at the end of the game. We know that the game starts off with your rival as "???", so if that were the case that your character didn't recognize Red from the anime, when you battle him he would also be ???. So the anime is not literally real, it's a rendition of the events that Ash went through.

    I do have everything needed to get that Jirachi... I think there's technically also an exploit that allows you to reset so that the game forgets that you ever got the Jirachi, making it as if you didn't save, but it's very risky and can result in a lost save file if done incorrectly so like... yeah. That's also how people typically hunt for the Wishmaker Jirachi that comes with the Colosseum bonus disc, however that one doesn't require you to beat the league, you can just get it whenever, as soon as you have the Pokédex, so if you lose your save file while hunting for that one, it'll only set you back a couple minutes, and not like 4 hours.

      Back in the day I explicitly remember the colosseum way and boy was i excited at learning that jirachi wasn’t shiny locked bc it’s one of my most favorite Pokémon. But I still didn’t do the grind for it bc I thought waiting a few minutes for my Pokédex each time was too long apparently.

    Another great video! One thing I wanted to mention about diglett with it only being on the ground. Funny enough for a while in Pokemon GO when you evolved diglett into dugtrio, it would rise into the air like every other pokemon and you can see the flat bottom part of ground. However this got fixed I think kinda recently so now when you evolve diglett in GO, it is the only Pokemon to remain on the ground.
    Also for the Pokemon Channel Jirachi, similar to the Colosseum Bonus Disc Jirachi, you might not have to play through the entire ruby and sapphire game each time to get an encounter with it. There is a way you can corrupt your save file to load up the backup save for your ruby or sapphire game and you can load the backup save before you received the jirachi in game. However this is a chance this just deletes your save file or the backup save is simply after you received jirachi so Idk if going for that would be worth it either way 😂

That doesn't even make sense!" as there is NOTHING under the chair at all, it's just diglett surrounded with its little dirt pile being cute on a chair.

    The Mewtwo I caught in Yellow way back when was turned out to be shiny, because it had the exact DV stats needed for it. Of course I only found it out when I traded it to Crystal.

I get it, you think that RNG Manip doesn't count as legit or w/e. That's fine, but acting like it doesn't exist while using my shit isn't cool. It is just a different niche subset Pokemon Hobby and is a cool way to experience the series. Anyone can get this Jirachi really easy without any hacks or emulators, just like I did.

I didn’t mean to make it seem like I was shitting on RNG manip, i just honestly have 0 knowledge about it.

    I'd like to add to the Diglett trivia: In Gens 1 and 3, it can learn Mimic, and if you transfer it to a Gen 8 game (possibly 6 and 7 too), if you have it mimic a move that requires the user to go up into the air, like Flying Press, Sunsteel Strike, etc., the Diglett will ascend in the move's animation, but not without a huge chunk of the ground that serves no purpose other than to conceal what's beneath it.

    I’ve went through Emerald hell once. I ain’t doing it again for a shiny Jirachi.
    Context. I was given a fake Emerald version when I was younger and it would reset my game constantly. If I beat the Elite 4 and champion a second time, reset. Sometimes if I take the cartridge off my Gameboy or DS, it’ll reset. So I would play Emerald, again, again, and again. I used to be really patient when I was younger. I could switch train the level 5 magikarp to level 20 without complain. Now, I’m very impatient lol.
    Also, I found a shiny taillow once near Rustburrow, and assumed it always spawned there. So I’d always shiny hunt it. ALWAYS. The Hoenne region was my purgatory. But at least the Battle Frontier existed.
