    Hello Wayfarers, this is a Shiny only challenge in Pokemon Scarlet with some additional rules thrown in. This shiny hunting video was a grind but I really enjoyed journeying through Paldea for my first time with only shiny Pokemon, and I hope you find the adventure to be as fun as I did.
    **Giveaway details**
    If you'd like to win all of the Shiny Pokemon that I caught during this challenge, you just need to have a copy of Pokemon Scarlet with a Nintendo Online membership, or a Pokemon Home membership, and a Discord account so that I can communicate with you while we trade, to avoid giving them away to the wrong person. To enter, please just leave a comment with a story or anecdote from one of your own Pokemon adventures, as I always love hearing about those!
    If you could also like and subscribe that would be ace, but just a comment will do for the raffle. The winner will be chosen on *February 1st, 2024*, so you’ll need to comment by then to be in with a chance.

    "It could arguably be the best Pokémon game to _ever_ be released, if it just functioned properly"
    That's the most accurate description of any video game that I've ever heard, and you managed to condense it down to a single sentence.

    I think you're the first TH-camr I've seen who acknowledges the issues in SV for those of us with visual impairments, so thank you for bringing more attention to the issue. Let's hope Nintendo patches it in eventually. Also, congrats on your wedding!!!
    As for a story, one that kind of relates to this video is from a couple of months ago. I was playing Legends Arceus, working on getting the shiny charm in that game, and over the course of three days I encountered three shiny Pokemon. The first was a shiny male combee, being the first time I caught one I felt a bit proud of finally going through that rite of passage of many pokemon fans. The next day was a shiny goomy. The day after that was a shiny wurmple that ended up evolving into a beautifly.

    • @ThisIsTheWayfarer
      @ThisIsTheWayfarer  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No problem! It’s a real shame and I hope that they do make things right someday, because as it stands there are a lot of people with a huge disadvantage, and it shouldn’t be that way 😕 Thanks so much, that really means a lot 🥹
      That’s a fantastic story, thanks for sharing 😄 The shiny male combee is a rite of passage I myself went through in my PLA vid so I know the feeling 😂 A mix of joy and sorrow. The Goomy and Beautifly are two brilliant ones though! What are your plans now you have the shiny charm?

    • @BlueJay73FFS
      @BlueJay73FFS ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I unfortunately still do not have the shiny charm in Legends Arceus, so it's wild that I got those three shinies. I don't really have too many plans in PLA other than getting the shiny charm, but I've got a lot of things going on in other games. Currently I'm working on 100%ing Emerald which was my first Pokemon game and am almost done with the national dex. In Platinum I am doing a shiny hunt for Darkrai on New Moon Island which is my first ever full-odds shiny hunt with the old odds. Almost done with my current playthrough of Heart Gold. Once I'm done with that and with the Darkrai hunt I'm planning on making some competitive pokemon in Gen 4 for a playthrough of Battle Revolution. And I am planning on finishing some other playthroughs including White 2, Y, ORAS, and Crystal on the VC so that I can hopefully get that shiny Celebi before they cut off Pokemon Bank access.@@ThisIsTheWayfarer

    My story is short and sweet. Pokémon Sword and Shield just released, and I got my copy right away and began playing immediately. One Pokémon in particular that I was sure I would have as a main member of my team was Applin. So about an hour into the game, I'm walking through the grass just to get to the next area, and what do I encounter? My first ever encounter, full odds, shiny Applin. My thought was "wait isn't it red?" And when it flashed, I was in absolute awe. I still believe till this day that I was the first ever person in the world to find a full odds first encounter shiny Applin.

      ​@@ThisIsTheWayfarer I got some wrong info in there, sorry, the real thing is, It happened in a romhack called cristal clear, I still got the full ods shiny nidoran (in the park after the milktank gym leader), And was the MVP of the run, but couldn't manage to Transfer It, since it wasn't a "real" Pokémon Game. I ended Up shiny hunting for one, in lets go Pikachu, the 12 hours of pain paid off, and its an exact replica of the og, I kind of lied because, i wanted to be more *legal*, And special but now I think It shoudn't be that way, and that the thing is still unique, also in the gen 1 games, only static encounters can be shiny, because of Determined values that needs to be at a certain number for it to be shiny, this means that only the starters, legendary birds, casino Pokémon, the eevee and Mewtwo can be shiny hunted. Sorry for the fake info.

    It’s speculated that Game Freak didn’t put the shiny sound in SV because in a lot of areas Pokemon are capable of spawning outside of the playable area. Meaning Pokémon spawn inside of the mountains, in the walls of the great crater, ect…

    • @ThisIsTheWayfarer
      @ThisIsTheWayfarer  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That makes a tonne of sense actually, thanks for sharing that! If true, it really does just go to show how flawed SV is, it’s like the vision is there but it just doesn’t quite work in practise. I hope they work the bugs out and give us a much better and improved version for the next Legends game!

  • @Raziel_HHL
    @Raziel_HHL ปีที่แล้ว +2

    12:55 what I like to do, especially with the Lvl 3 Sandwhiches, is save before making one and then load the save if I don't find any shinies in the 30 min to not waste any ingredients. obviously that is a lot more worth it when you're using Herba tho

    • @ThisIsTheWayfarer
      @ThisIsTheWayfarer  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes great suggestion and method, especially with those level 3 ones, because Herba Mystica is a bit of a rigmarole to obtain imo! I think I just kept making them as a way to measure time for the shiny finds, and also cause the regular ingredients are pretty cheap, so it was easy to just keep making them 😄

    I shall tell a tale of my first shiny pokémon let me set the scene it’s the year Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon released I got a nintendo 3ds for Christmas sure I’ve played other pokémon games before but this was the first game I owned and so I played it the minute I got it I never got spoiled on anything and I barely knew what exactly shiny hunting was I just wanted to have fun the minute I stepped in the grass after the catching tutorial I ran into a Shiny Yungoos I caught it cause it was Purple and it sparkled when I found it, Her name is Pez like the candy I love her very much

  • @JohnpaulVosu-th2cq
    @JohnpaulVosu-th2cq 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    (Spoilers ahead, you've been warned) Fun fact about this game, after you defeat them you can then catch the titan Pokemon as they respawn very close to the area you beat them in. Not sure if they're shiny locked or not but it's cool you can catch them. (Oh yeah if you take a titan back to school by flying there, show it to an NPC near a fountain and you get a badge for it and can then call it it's true title when using it in battle FYI)

    • @ThisIsTheWayfarer
      @ThisIsTheWayfarer  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes you can, great fact! I don’t know if they’re all shiny locked but I know for sure that Great Tusk & Iron Treads are, because I actually wanted to shiny hunt Great Tusk way earlier in the video after I defeated it, but couldn’t 😭

    My first shiny in SV was a full odds lone Fletchling that I hesitated to encounter because I thought it was just the sunset affecting the color of the Fletchling 😅 didn’t know it was a shiny until I accidentally bumped into it.

    • @ThisIsTheWayfarer

      Ooo those shiny Fletchlings are for sure difficult to spot, I barely noticed mine too! I think the time of day like you said is important too, the shading on a Pokémon’s model and stuff seems to change colour when it gets darker or lighter, and I often looked at Pokémon during the evening time and thought huh, that’s shiny, just to find that it wasn’t 😭

    I've got a story!! Back before I beat the game and completed my pokedex I was just wandering about the mountains. As I was going a shiny Dratini popped up! I was stoked and caught her immediatly. After that I jumped down to Fury Falls and there was a shiny Kricketot! Seconds after my Dratini! I caught it and when I came out of the battle and turned around there was a shiny Venomoth just staring at me! Three in under three minutes with no charm or boosts of any kind. It was madness! I also had a gitch happen with a shiny Vaporeon that was so damn cute and I was a plushie of. It looked like she was wearing a dive ball around her middle.
    Also congrats on the marriage!!!

    This is a fun short story/anecdote,
    when Scarlet and Violet first came out my friend and I immediately started playing co-op on the first routes. Neither of us had more than a few pokemon from the area right outside the school at the start and about an hour into the game I hear him GASP
    he caught a shiny Magikarp in a small pond that early into the game. The mix of being happy for him and wanting to strangle him was palpable lmao
    Jokes on him though, I've managed to get myself a fleet of shiny Lokix with Kamen Rider nicknames now.

    I remember my first shiny. It was a Roselia back in Ruby version. I was excited, but never used it for some reason. Anyway I sent it to Pokemon Colosseum so I could see it in 3D. I then forgot that I had it there and let my brother start a new file, erasing my first shiny in the process.

    Since you mentioned in a previous video really liking Vespiquen, I thought I should let you know that you can actually get Vespiquen outbreaks in Scarlet/Violet. No idea about the odds, but if you use a bug encounter sandwich near an area they naturally spawn, it should increase your odds

    My story is how I lost a ghost type nuzlock to a fighting type move and it was in scarlet
    So I had just entered the elite 4 and was doing well with not a single death but that changed when I fought Larry because his flamigo has scrappy. I had my goldengo out because it resists brave bird and is immune to close combat or so I thought, and unsurprisingly it used the mighty fighting move on my steel type to kill it. Shortly after I lost to Geeta due to having nothing for glimora
    (Without goldengo I lost anileape to the Tera baxcalibur)

    My first shiny in Pokemon Violet was a shiny Makuhita at the mines where u fight the Orthworm. I was about to kill pack of makuhita and hariyama when I notice the shiny Makuhita I manage to stop my Gyarados in time and caught it no problem without hitting it. Coz I always scared I do crit or one hit a shiny. So I just used a powerful pokeball and that how I got it. Really nice pokemon too as Hariyama is indeed one of the strongest fighting types.
    Also, my favorite leveling ground is a cave near the Psychic gym. Its packed with pokemon lv 39 includes Dugtrios, Toxitricty and Dragon types, I use both Gyarados my favorite pokemon and Bronzong now my favorite steel type that helped me grind all of my pokemon evolved and manage to catch every single pokemon in the cave. Includes Gible, Bagon, Salazzle and Umbreon. Just a really good place to grinding. I also love leveling at the False Dragon location as it lots of lv 50 pokemon and I like to grind those big whale pokemon coz they give each of my pokemon 1000 exp.
    So that my tip for everyone who just wish to evolve their favorite pokemon fast as possible.

    I know the giveaway is long since over, and I prefer to hunt them on my own where I can anyway, but since you love hearing stories, I'll tell you about my first main-series shiny
    It was two years ago or so, and my best friend had gifted me a veritable treasure trove of pokemon games for the switch! She wanted both versions, but she didn't much fancy playing both to get all the exclusives, so she let me choose whichever versions I prefered. I delightedly accepted Let’s Go Eevee, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Scarlet
    At this point, I had already played LGE for quite some time and was ready to move on. I booted up Sword, and instantly fell in love. The story was dumb and the characters dumber, the writing atrocious and yet... I found myself enamored. The art style was so pretty, it was my first main-series game and it was so cool, moving around in the overworld!
    I had reached Turfield and wanted an Eevee for my team - just a regular old Eevee, because Eevee is my favourite gen 1 pokemon and my second fave overall (with my overall number one being Umbreon). Anyway, I was running around the fields, looking for my friend to be, doing my best to dodge those pesky Elektrike hunting me down. I wasn't always successful, and a couple got me. I failed to dodge another one, and then-
    I frowned. That's strange, I thought. The lighting turned weird, because the green little dog suddenly looked a little blue-ish. Then, the sparkles hit, and I gasped out loud. My first ever main-series shiny, and a full-odds one at that! I couldn't believe it!
    And as fate would have it, I had literally just taught my Pancham false swipe - and, I had five luxury balls to my name. Five precious luxury balls, scavenged somewhere or other. Five precious luxury balls that I knew would perfectly match a shiny Manectric.
    I switched to Pancham, and she used false swipe. I threw the first luxury ball, but no dice. I threw the second, and success! I was overjoyed, both with my treasure and getting to catch her in such a wonderfully matching ball!
    Excitedly, I texted my best friend, showing off my find! We spent ages excitedly chatting about her and what to name her, because such a perfect shiny surely needed a perfect name! It took several days and attempts before I finally settled on the name that stuck - Raija. My little lightning queen became a beloved part of my playthrough team, and I treasure her to this day!
    I'd apologise for the novel, but I *am* a hobbyist writer and you *did* ask for stories, so there you go! One of my favourite pokemon stories, and certainly one I will remember for years to come :)

      @@paradyzze1219 it’s pretty difficult yeah, at least compared to LGPE, PLA or SV! You can see 10+ Pokémon on screen within seconds in any of those games, but in BDSP it’s back to the old format of running around in the grass to find encounters or soft resetting which takes ages!
      As an example, I’m currently hunting Spiritomb which is a soft reset hunt, meaning I can only see 1 every 45 seconds 😅 Compare that to the open world games where you can see 25-50+ in 45 seconds and you can see why it takes so much longer!

I was rather excited as one would be and caught it. Sadly, I was incapable of transferring him up as I lost my copy when I was moving.
