This is a very cool idea, so much patience, those gen 3 shiny odds though, so much time but so worth it. Also, I notice your fire red has the 'the save file is ok' message before you press continue, this means its a 'bootleg' or fake game, I bought a fire red from a fake 'friend' in high school that had this same message, one day my file just randomly deleted itself and I was devastated, these gen 3 fake cartridges are like viruses and they're everywhere
Yeah my friend back in elementary school gave me the fake copy. He actually gave me a fake copy of both fire red and leaf green but the leaf green couldn’t keep a save at all. As soon as you tried to save it would crash. He told me he couldn’t get either of them to work for him and the fire red always worked fine for me. Eventually later I found out that the fire red only has issues when you try to use it in a ds. If you try to load it up from a ds it will always delete the save file. So I only use it in a gameboy. I also always trade the shinies I get from it off to my main leaf green file in case something happens randomly. I actually recently dropped the copy and broke a piece of the case off of it and when I tried to play it, it froze and deleted the save file. Luckily nothing important was on it but yeah fake copies are always risky to try and use especially for shiny hunting. I take extra precautions when using that copy nowadays!
@@ThedomiNATION That's good to hear, glad you know, just checking. I'm glad people wake up to what's legit and what is not, it's a real shame that there are people in the world that say they're your friend and knowingly give you a fake game that they know will delete itself and get a lot of money for it. Happy Pokemons ☺️
i started my own leaf green bulba hunt like a month ago lmao i thought the green isnt THAT apparent! it looks so goood! congrats! hope to see a video of with a comparison of male and female! Grocerysaur made me chuckle a bit lol
Thanks! I probably should’ve posted the Pokémon home sprite comparisons of the venusaurs in this video as I’m not sure how long it’ll be before I send it up but who knows! Also good luck on your bulbasaur hunt!
So currently I use just an old iPhone to record my game screens but it takes a bit of messing around to get the focus to look good on them. I also use a dslr camera for my face cam but I would recommend any old camera for that. I also use a blue yeti microphone but I started off shiny hunting using only the iPhone camera and no face cam so sometimes that’s all it takes!
You inspired me to start my own Bulbasaur hunt! Im at 1000 resets now, Ill hope I get it below odds 😂 got only one gba tho.. anyways love your channel man!
Good luck! I used to hunt on one game as well. It can take a while, but it’s pretty chill while just watching tv and winding down at the end of the day!
Depends on how lucky or unlucky you get while hunting. I also don’t time my hunts and don’t remember how many resets in an hour but if I were to guess around 400 which would be about 20 hours. I Typically hunt around 2 hours a day so about a week and a half to get this one
Why you bother about fakes ? Odds are pretty same, game itself is 100% authentic and trading between fakes and originals are allowed. Even the domiNation has fake fire red. You can spot this, when he soft reset, it says - the save file is ok. Original doesnt do that, as you can see with that leaf green ☺️
I don’t usually keep track of time. I only keep track of encounters to know where I’m at in the hunt . Even with 2 games though I believe I was still only getting a few hundred encounters every hour. I try to hunt about 2 hours a day.
Sometimes it just takes a bit of luck. When I was like 10 only a handful of people I knew had encountered a shiny and it was 1 max if that. I only had one shiny myself being a shiny bidoof. However in the past few years I’ve gotten a lot more random shinies throughout playing my Pokémon games!
lol you act like I didn’t know that. Odds eventually balance out. Even though there’s no such thing as being “due” it is extremely unlikely to do many hunts in a row extremely over odds.
@@ThedomiNATION I act like that because you say it in the video. Yeah odds balance out given an infinite amount of time but not per game or per person.
@@ketchup901 it’s just a common thing shiny hunters say. It doesn’t meant we believe we’re guaranteed to get a shiny at a certain point. We’re all aware no hunts or encounters are related
Almost at 10k dawg! Keep it up homie your hard work will pay off I know it

Also, THANK YOU for the tip about nicknaming wish maker Jirachi. I plan to hunt it and knowing I can name it makes me so happy!
Grocerysaur is an absolutely incredible nickname. I wondered why you didn't say it for so long but the payoff was sooooo good

I’m glad to see it exists 😂 ✨ currently been hunting a shiny Bulba on my 1 gameboy so it’s been a grind 🙃
Hopefully you get it soon !
Yo dom how you record your videos so fresh like that what camera and supplies do you use? I wanna start youtube
So currently I use just an old iPhone to record my game screens but it takes a bit of messing around to get the focus to look good on them.

Do the settings matter? And if so, what were your settings?
The game settings? No they don’t matter for shiny hunting.
You inspired me to start my own Bulbasaur hunt! Im at 1000 resets now, Ill hope I get it below odds 😂 got only one gba tho.. anyways love your channel man!

Any update?? You get it lol
Hey, is there any discords for shiny hunters in like older games?
I’m sure there’s a bunch! However I do not have my own discord server unfortunately
this is a very cool team idea! GG with the male form!
Thank you!
How long does it take you?

I JUST GOT A SHINY BULBASOUR ON MY FIRST RUN! I AM SOOOOO LUCKY!
Congrats!
I’m rocking the green only team In Heartgold love this
Good luck on yours!
@@ThedomiNATION oh I’m already done cheers tho m8!
Does your ID number matters when you are shiny hunting starter Pokémon?
Nope! People do like to reset for cool looking ID numbers though so that their shinies have them!
Do you know where I can buy leaf green there is a lot of fakes and working gba sp or ds
Really your best bet is to look online. It’s pretty easy to determine a fake leaf green just by looking at it but I’d do some research on it first
Why you bother about fakes ? Odds are pretty same, game itself is 100% authentic and trading between fakes and originals are allowed. Even the domiNation has fake fire red. You can spot this, when he soft reset, it says - the save file is ok. Original doesnt do that, as you can see with that leaf green ☺️
How much time did it take for you to get it? I'm 9 hours in but still no shiny Char.
I don’t usually keep track of time. I only keep track of encounters to know where I’m at in the hunt . Even with 2 games though I believe I was still only getting a few hundred encounters every hour. I try to hunt about 2 hours a day.
I’ve played Pokémon casually since Gen 1 and don’t remember ever encountering a shiny
Sometimes it just takes a bit of luck. When I was like 10 only a handful of people I knew had encountered a shiny and it was 1 max if that. I only had one shiny myself being a shiny bidoof. However in the past few years I’ve gotten a lot more random shinies throughout playing my Pokémon games!
same here 23 years and not 1 single shiny encounter ever
Just plug a speaker into the gbas headphone jack.
GBA SPs don’t have headphone jacks… I would be able to use the headphone jacks on the DSs but it would overpower the GBAs
@@ThedomiNATION What!!! My game boy color does! Why doesn't the SP? XD how crazy 🤣
@@Aemi13 yeah even the regular GBAs have them just not the SPs
@@ThedomiNATION Huh, who would have thought that lol!
@@ThedomiNATION I just found your channel btw and I love the content so far, keep it up 💜
There is no such thing as being "due" for a shiny bro. Each reset is 1/8192 and the number of resets you've done does not change that...

@@ketchup901 why take it so seriously? Everybody says it when their game has done way over odds without a shiny
@@TG-sv7ej What do you mean take it seriously? Saying you're over odds is just a fact. Saying your game is "due" for a shiny is not.
