I believe the reason that Fire Fang worked on Wonder Guard was that the devs accidentally classified it as a status move, so Wonder Guard didn’t check whether it should be blocked. Shedinja was weak to Fire anyway, so they never noticed the error.
I heard it was because they have special coding for two-turn moves that makes it so the first, harmless, turn is not stopped by Wonder Guard but the actual attack is, and they applied this to all the two-turn attacks individually, and misclicked on Fire Fang when they did.
its kinda weird how good the game looked on the DS! what a great nostalgic journey! excited for you to go for shiny burmy and get it in exactly 36 encounters again!
*Absol*utely blessed I got to experience almost every stream for this quest, including my GastroGang (with drip) being featured in the art section. What a great ending to the saga.
Something interesting about this trick is that Diamond and Pearl were actually the first debut games of a generation that could NOT actually be played on a TV. Gen 1 has Stadium 1, Gen 2 has Stadium 2, Gen 3 has Pokémon Box, and all of them have the GameCube GameBoy Player. This is actually our first crack at big-screen Sinnoh gameplay, so it’s interesting to see that get reversed.
This was such an insane saga to follow. This was awesome! This has definitely inspired me to do one of these if they ever remake Gen 5, definitely the most nostalgic games for me
@@KonaSuba Ah I gotcha, there's plenty of cool hunts you can go for then! If you have Let's Go the catch combos are a good method for starting out with shiny hunting, but if you plan on doing full odds hunting then there are a lot of possibilities. If there's a shiny you really like a lot that you can find easily in any of your games, I'd say start with that one :) best of luck!
I remember sending my handful of stream viewers to you after my very first stream, while you were hunting Floatzel and Chatot. So happy to see the thrilling conclusion!
Good show! Today I beat the Champion too. My Shiny Steelix' Gyro Ball finished her Garchomp off, and he's MVP too. I beat her with my Platinum Nostalgia Team in Shiny Form too. They were all over level 80 though. I made a meme out of my teams from Platinum and BD.
Holy crap, when you go in on the nostalgia, you go all the freaking way! That was so unbelievably, unnecessarily extra, and I _love_ it! What a ride from start to finish, just a shame Charap couldn't do more. But SNOWRUNT came through like an absolute boss! Actually surprised you didn't outfit it with Ice Fang or something- real physical wall like that seems like the ideal candidate to consider for taking on Cynthia's Garchomp.
I just beat BD today. My final team is Pablo the Empoleon, Rose the Roserade, Max the Jirachi, Mordor the Houndoom, Totoro the Snorlax, and Ykui the Frosslass
this entire nostalgia team quest has seriously been an absolute joy to follow from start to finish. the streams i caught were so much fun to be a part of [and i'm honoured to have donated microsoft paint chatzel and floatot to the cause lmao], and this was such a cool and creative finale to the whole thing! congratulations on all the successful hunts [especially budew and chatot, those were INSANE] and i can't wait to see what your next project on this scale is, whenever and whatever that might be :]
oh my gosh, ive been following you for such a long time. and i check in from time to time, and long haired absol is the first time i see em today. Love it man. Keep up the good work! love your passion for a game that holds a ton of sentimental value for me. Ive been playing since gen 1 and I have to say. youre dedication to your challenges is something else. it gets me hyped up to see someone cherish these games as much as you do. again, thank you for the years of content!!! ~ Mei
This is so cool to see your old Pokémon from 2007. I'm glad for you that you still have that save file and that it didn't corrupt or got lost over the years. I can see an Absol Museum rising one day with Pokémon over 30 years old. No, I am not joking.
I wish i could say nostolgia from this but i didnt play pokemon as a kid played mario galaxy 2(best game ever) and watched my friends play sonic 06 and was amazed join pokemon fandom in 2016 watched so much of the anime and played japrnse ruby but i cant read played all switch pokemon games lol abd a bit of sun can wait for legends bidoof
What I love about your team is that it's unique, you didn't just go for the whole Infernape Luxray Staraptor Garchomp Lucario Floatzel team everyone uses.
This quest is such a cool idea, I think I will try one someday! I don't have any of my old teams so maybe someday I can do one of my old teams of Lets go, Sword or bdsp. It really sucks I cant do one of my childhood games. Damn you thieves
I don't have any of my old teams intact but I remember a never-completed Platinum team, and maybe someday I'll recreate my (recent) Black 2, X, and Moon teams all shiny.
Can’t wait to see your hunts on legends arceus. I hope you do a badge quest one day on legends arceus although I don’t know how that would work since I’ve been avoiding spoilers on the game
Cynthia would’ve won if no revive was used. While I don’t personally use them in trainer battles, I think we all did back in the day, so it’s fitting for the nostalgia team if you use nostalgia tactics.
That is unbelievably creative, it's SO COOL I've been seeing this team be built up since the start, and it's so cool how you're doing the finale. Congrats dude!
the game doesnt look too bad on the Lite. makes me want to track down one of those tv tuner carts myself and pop it into my Lite! ..if only it wasnt broken at the moment lmao
Matt(absol) if you ever read this thank you for making this amazing content no matter how bad I feel you always cheer me up with your amazing videos thank you so much
now im wondering, is this possible to do with other switch games and on a 3ds? i really wanna play pokemon sword on my 3ds -like it was supposed to be- to see cramorant 😳
Absol literally said nothing was stopping him from making this the most nostalgic playthrough ever
Matt: Snowrunt isn't gunna do much this battle
Snowrunt: I'm about to do what's called a pro gamer move
snowrunt?
@@Penguig that's the name of his hippowdon.

@@off-the-grounder568 Yeah I was wrong lol. You're correct
Seeing a switch screenshot popup in the top left of a DS screen is really trippy 😂
its kinda weird how good the game looked on the DS! what a great nostalgic journey! excited for you to go for shiny burmy and get it in exactly 36 encounters again!
I imagine you're the only person to finish brilliant diamond on the DS. And I love it!
No he legitimately means brilliant diamond
@@samuel-wankenobi lmfao dude didn't even watch the video
You know, that doesn’t look too bad on a DS Lite.
The Nostalgia Team Quest created nostalgia for the BDSP streams😂
*Absol*utely blessed I got to experience almost every stream for this quest, including my GastroGang (with drip) being featured in the art section.
What a great ending to the saga.
It's official, NOONE has more nostalgia than this man.
Back in MY day we had to watch absolblogs recording his ds screens

Wasn’t there Pokemon revelation for the Wii?
@@ewanwaterland7688 You couldn’t play Diamond and Pearl via Battle Revolution like you could with the Stadium games and their bases.
This is an insane ending to this Nostalgia Quest! Playing through the DS is just amazing!
This was such an insane saga to follow. This was awesome! This has definitely inspired me to do one of these if they ever remake Gen 5, definitely the most nostalgic games for me
Love that a mainstream TH-camr used a tv tuner besides Retrofuture, congrats on your DTQ, you’re my favorite Poketuber!
You make me want to try shiny hunting, it looks so fun!
It's pretty fun, yeah :)
You should give it a try! It's such a great time and a really cool community.
What sorta Pokemon games do you play? Mostly 3D stuff or older 2D games?
@@n0lain I only have the switch games right now, official anyways

to be fair, there is a lot of grinding, but the reward is always worth it.
Had a 50% “oh my gosh” rate on the nostalgia team reactions
Literally just beat Cynthia in BD an hour ago and now I get to enjoy this!
This was ABSOLutely amazing man, well done!
when absol said he was defeating cynthia on a ds lite, this is not what i expected
Matt (Absol), you've brought me a feeling that BDSP itself could not bring me, and that's true nostalgia. Cheers! Here's to PLA!
So happy that I was able to watch at least some of this live, thank you umbrella.
Wow thats so amazing. I love it. And I love the spirit of Absol here.
The part where Charap the Chatot fought Cynthia's Gastrodon just made me think about the GTQ (Gastrodon Team Quest).
I remember sending my handful of stream viewers to you after my very first stream, while you were hunting Floatzel and Chatot. So happy to see the thrilling conclusion!
I would LOVE to see more games played like this
Good show! Today I beat the Champion too. My Shiny Steelix' Gyro Ball finished her Garchomp off, and he's MVP too. I beat her with my Platinum Nostalgia Team in Shiny Form too. They were all over level 80 though. I made a meme out of my teams from Platinum and BD.
Your coverage of these games brought back the magic for me that even BDSP couldn't rekindle! Thank you sir
This is amazing Matt, your videos always have an insanely cool uniqueness to them and I’m happy you got to complete the quest
Now, THIS is the BDSP Experience I wanted! Great video - hit my nostalgia so hard it hurt
Holy crap, when you go in on the nostalgia, you go all the freaking way! That was so unbelievably, unnecessarily extra, and I _love_ it! What a ride from start to finish, just a shame Charap couldn't do more. But SNOWRUNT came through like an absolute boss!

Wow I am mind blown by playing it on the DS bravo dude. So much nostalgia and a unique shiny quest. Love it.
Your videos always cheer me up after work. Thank you for your great work ;D
I just beat BD today. My final team is Pablo the Empoleon, Rose the Roserade, Max the Jirachi, Mordor the Houndoom, Totoro the Snorlax, and Ykui the Frosslass
what a journey! glad i was there for most of it! cant wait for the Legends Arceus streams :D
There clearly are no limits to your creativity. Your videos are incredible
Brilliant video. You've inspired me to do this myself. My original Pearl game was lost long ago, but my team was ingrained into my brain long ago.

Sah dude, excited to see the Legends playthrough and the gauntlets you have planned
oh my gosh, ive been following you for such a long time. and i check in from time to time, and long haired absol is the first time i see em today. Love it man. Keep up the good work!

great video as always Matt!
The authentic 2008 experience
WHOAAAAAA TWO VIDEOS IN 1 week? Man Matt is feeding us with amazing content YESSIR
What an amazing way to end this journey!
This graphics remind me of mario kart ds and new super mario bros, def a DS experience.
Epic nostalgia video Matt
You really went all out for the Nostalgia!
charap was emotional support and i appreciate him for that
Great job Absol I plan on doing a SBQ on brilliant diamond and it’s interesting to see your setup
LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!! NOSTALGIA!!!
Been loving the streams of these hunts. Sad for it to end but I’ll be playing legends arceus tomorrow so it’s all good
Truly great team ms.cox would be so proud
My guy always makes random stuff deep keep it up
bro i have that same spongebob gameboy! so many good memories of fire red and sapphire on that thing
Charap being knocked out by Gastrodon was so poetic.
What a technical achievement, fantastic.
watching these hunts were amazing!!
its pretty funny to watch the shinies being found in streams without any context considering the many cursed things there
Matthias, you reminded me, I need to finish Old Man Crime
watching this on a monitor, on youtube, through a videocamera, on a ds screen, through a gba tv tuner, thats showing switch gameplay
This is so cool to see your old Pokémon from 2007. I'm glad for you that you still have that save file and that it didn't corrupt or got lost over the years. I can see an Absol Museum rising one day with Pokémon over 30 years old.
No, I am not joking.
Matt you look like you've seen the begging and the ending of life itself, your hair reminds me of Finn the human
oh man this was so cool!!! makes me wish there was a proper 3d pokémon game on the ds!
I wish i could say nostolgia from this but i didnt play pokemon as a kid played mario galaxy 2(best game ever) and watched my friends play sonic 06 and was amazed join pokemon fandom in 2016 watched so much of the anime and played japrnse ruby but i cant read played all switch pokemon games lol abd a bit of sun can wait for legends bidoof
that is the most scuffed setup I have ever seen... and I love it!
What I love about your team is that it's unique, you didn't just go for the whole Infernape Luxray Staraptor Garchomp Lucario Floatzel team everyone uses.
actually so cool he pulled this off

cant wait to join the legends arceus hunts, hopefully ill be hunting along with you
Can’t wait to see your hunts on legends arceus. I hope you do a badge quest one day on legends arceus although I don’t know how that would work since I’ve been avoiding spoilers on the game
this is SO SICK!!
Cynthia would’ve won if no revive was used. While I don’t personally use them in trainer battles, I think we all did back in the day, so it’s fitting for the nostalgia team if you use nostalgia tactics.
i love how this looks omg :00
How the text on the DS screen looks I thought Cynthia was speaking in enchantment table
Feels like watching an old mariland video
Bro!! Next Level 100 Gauntlet Idea! In Legends Arceus. By collecting ore, berries, etc... Gonna be a hell of a grind!
i sincerely hope the nightmare dream quest comes after your arceus movie
How did you set all this up? While the pixels make the text suffer, the remakes look great, even on a DS!
An actual Pogchamp!
Damn this is sick
The correct way to play the remakes
This is so fun!!!
That is unbelievably creative, it's SO COOL
I've been seeing this team be built up since the start, and it's so cool how you're doing the finale. Congrats dude!
5:20 oh man i love battle revolution
the game doesnt look too bad on the Lite. makes me want to track down one of those tv tuner carts myself and pop it into my Lite! ..if only it wasnt broken at the moment lmao
And yet im still here shiny hunting my chimchar since launch
i need one of these tv tuners!!
Matt(absol) if you ever read this thank you for making this amazing content no matter how bad I feel you always cheer me up with your amazing videos thank you so much
Legends Arceus movie here we come :)
Man now i miss my first platinum team torterra luxray crobat gallsde garchomp and gastrodon hopefully i can make that team again
1:14
POV: You submitted a single layout picture and look to see if it was included
(I don't see Baja Cheryl :sad:)
“shiny hip-hippo-hippopatas!!!! oh my gosh” C: so wholesome
Our infernapes have the exact same moveset loll
Hey absol when legends arceus comes out try a level 100 gauntlet but you can only get up from hitting stones and trees
now im wondering, is this possible to do with other switch games and on a 3ds? i really wanna play pokemon sword on my 3ds -like it was supposed to be- to see cramorant 😳
peanut level 69. nice.
Me watching this video in 1080p
1:15 i don’t a no hippopopaint matthew
you should do a lvl 100 gauntlet in legends arceus by only gaining experience by collecting berry's and items and what not that'd be interesting
LETS GO SNORUNT
Still waiting for the ski reveiw
