    25:20 For reference, Japanese has two main alphabets (three if you count kanji, but that's not relevant here).
    There's Hiragana, which is the blue box, and Katakana, which is the red box. They both contain (mostly) all the same sounds, just represented with different symbols. The difference being that Hiragana is used for regular Japanese words, whereas Katakana is used for foreign words, or Japanese words which may have a foreign origin. For example the Japanese word for taxi is タクシー which is literally just takushi, taxi sounded out using the Japanese sounds. This is an English word that Japanese people use, so they write it using Katakana.
    All of this is to say, that the symbol for he (へ) is pretty much identical in both Hiragana and Katakana. Certain fonts may try to differentiate them slightly, but yeah, this is the GBA we're talking about.
    So it's not in fact the same symbol put there twice, it is actually two, near identical (in this case, actually identical) symbols, with different usages, from two different alphabets.
    Hope this helps the confusion.

I had softlocked myself because Archie wasn't able to be talked to at the top, meaning I couldn't get into Magma base to continue the story. Thanks to Sliepnir I managed to create another ??? egg and after some attempts managed to glitch into the Magma Base to continue the story. From there I was able to remake the egg by using the trade Horsea and resetting until I got the egg from the Pomeg berry glitch. Fun times, excited to go back to Emerald RNG manip once I complete the Arceus dex lol

    My favorite bit was when you realized how much fun it really can be. That addictive pull towards competitive shinies, is what ultimately lead to my journey for 5IV Shiny Extremespeed Zigzagoon. Somehow GameFreak inadvertently made the game even more fun, just by writing some bad code.

  • @ryanchad8384
    @ryanchad8384 11 місяців тому +177

    The only problem i can see with RNG manipulation is that every single pokemon encountered on the same frame has the exact same PID, ability slot and nature and I'm not sure if pokemon will make pokemon with identical data illigal in the future seeing as how they made cloned pokemon untransferable in BDSP. So to be safe you might want to do this with multiple save files and TID/SIDs.

    • @trailspokemon

  • @pircachupi4771
    @pircachupi4771 11 місяців тому +128

    The spiraling at the end as you go even further for all of this on all of your pokemon... yeah, I know that *exact* experience. My partner has been working on building a shiny living dex for a very long time, occasionally chipping away at it and picking up new pokemon they get. This means that they need some of the very obscure ones, including a shiny manaphy.
    Well, I happen to own a copy of the original pokemon ranger from my childhood, and I never did the manaphy event in that game. So I restarted my save file, played through the game, and did the manaphy event to get a manaphy egg to transfer over to a gen 4 game. I'd also recently picked up a copy of pokemon diamond, so it was time to begin. I'd done some RNG manipulation in gen 5 before, so I had a bit of experience. I knew I needed to RNG manipulate the egg I picked up to match my TID/SID, but since I was already going for a shiny, why not *also* manipulate my TID/SID so that I could get one with perfect IVs? So I did. Manipulated the egg, manipulated my TID/SID, hatched a shiny manaphy with perfect IVs and a good nature.
    But I mean, I'm in gen 4, and it would be a shame to pass up collecting all of those ribbons...
    So I traded it over to my childhood copy of pearl and beat the E4, got all of the day of the week ribbons from Sunnyshore, got the manaphy to max happiness for the footprint ribbon, and fully EV trained it for the effort ribbon. Then there were the contests. Did all four ranks of all five contest types to get all 20 ribbons, and I believe it's the first time I ever completed a master rank contest in gen 4, since I hadn't played the games since my childhood. And then the money ribbons. Spent a few hours repeatedly rebattling the rich couple south of Hearthome city to afford those. Also the first time I ever entered the ribbon syndicate, which was neat. Then I transferred the manaphy over to soul silver to beat red and get the legendary ribbon.
    Thankfully, manaphy isn't allowed into the battle facilities, so I was finally done.
    But gen 6 has some more ribbons...
    Took it to the Kalos E4 after transferring it up, beat all of the super training minigames with it, and fed it enough sweets for it to love me in pokemon amie. Again, thankfully no battle maison. But, heading over to Hoenn, there's more contest ribbons. Already had all of the master rank contests unlocked, so went through all 5 of those with the maxed contest stats I already had from gen 4 (with a little help from pokeblocks since sheen disappears in gen 6), and got all 5 of those ribbons, plus the contest star ribbon for having them all. And the Hoenn E4 as well.
    Gen 7 is significantly easier at first, since manaphy is banned from the battle facilities, so just needed the E4 ribbon from Alola. Except that manaphy *is* allowed in the battle tree normal battles in USUM only. I... don't have those games. But I *cannot* hand over a manaphy to them that's only one step from being perfect.
    So I got Ultra Moon, and I'm gonna be playing through it to get the one last ribbon I need. I don't own any Switch pokemon games and I never plan to, so the rest of the ribbons are on them to get once this manaphy is in their Pokemon Home. I'm just one step away from them having... one more pokemon in their living shiny dex.
    Hooray!

    • @alexandernewton4592
      @alexandernewton4592 10 місяців тому +3

      May I ask how did you manage to hatch the Manaphy as a shiny, did you do RNG manip to make the PID of the egg to shiny match the TID and SID of the game you were going to trade the egg to after receiving it from Ranger? Because Manaphy is shiny locked so if you received the egg with a PID that shiny matched your own TID and SID then when it hatches it shifts over one frame to avoid being shiny so can't actually hatch the egg to be shiny from the game you received the egg from Ranger on. I know this because I used PKHex to alter an eggs PID to shiny match the OTs TID and SID but kept being non shiny until I then realised the PID can't shiny match those before hatching so you need to get the egg from Ranger without shiny matching so it freezes the PID to whatever it is then trade it to another game with the TID and SID to shiny match it when it hatches because that PID which is frozen from your original game doesn't shift and then presto it hatches and shiny matches your second game's TID and SID. So did you hatch the egg shiny on the OT game or did you have to then trade the egg? Because I really wanted the info of my shiny Manaphy to read it was from Ranger event instead of saying came in a link trade but thought that this was impossible because of the shiny lock. Thanks in advance for any info!

  • @katieg1071
    @katieg1071 11 місяців тому +148

    To explain the "capital and lowercase" characters:
    In the case of the vowels (ア, エ, イ, オ, and ウ) and the y sounds (ヤ, ユ, and ヨ), the small versions are used for sounds that don't have their own characters. For example, the sound "sha" is made of シ (shi) and ャ (tiny ya). So you write it シャ.
    The smiley face is "tsu", and the tiny version is used for glottal stops, which are kind of hard to explain but are written in Latin letters as two of the letter, like in "zutto" (ズット).
    The accent marks are called diacritics, by the way. Mostly they change the consonant associated with the sound ("ha" to "ba" or "pa")
    And of course, all of these apply to hiragana as well. Katakana in particular has some interesting uses for the tiny characters in loanwords, to create sounds that normally don't exist in Japanese like "ti", but that's a whole nother can of worms.
    But yeah, if you don't read Japanese, it's basically a game of matching pictures, and the tiny ones do not help. Kudos.
    Edit: The OT of Tanabata Jirachi is, predictably, "Tanabata.".

    • @aikou2886

    Side note: one Pokemon that will definitively become extinct is the special Pichu with a weird ear that cannot leave the Soul Silver/Heart Gold cartridge it was downloaded to.
    EDIT: 25:36 the reason why it's one symbol, two codes is that the red page is for katakana and the blue page is for hiragana, and that symbol (he) looks the same in both due mainly to it coming from the ame kanji through the same simplification; in manuscript and higher definition fonts they do look slightly different (katakana looks sharper), but portable Pokémon games use fonts with los pixel counts.

They're different alphabets that represent(mostly)the same set of sounds. The different alphabets are used in different contexts, and the characters for the same sounds often look similar(か/カandり/リ) with the differences coming from the calligraphy used to paint them.
    In short, べ and ベ look and sound identical, but they are technically different characters from different alphabets, and that's why the game recognized them as different

    Really cool video! I just started gen 3 RNG myself, after being exposed to it in BDSP using a camera to get all the Pal Park legends shiny. I’m currently on a MUCH less complex RNG journey, on my homebrewed 3DS with a virtual console copy/ROM of Fire Red. I’m aiming to complete my Shiny Legendary dex in Home which requires over 50+ hunts. Most of them are RNGs in gen 6 and 7, but the few I cannot get with those games are being done via RNG manips on Fire Red and spamming tries at Dynamax Adventure raids. So far I’ve RNGed Deoxys once, but now I’m aiming for “decent” stat spreads with maybe 1 or 2 IVs I actually want and the rest random, all while maintaining my SID, for consistency. After I finish my last 3 Deoxys forms, it’s on to Navel Rock for Lugia and Ho-Oh, and back to the Seafoam Isalnds, Mt. Ember, and the Power Plant for the birds. Only then, will I be able to charge into Cerulean cave and pick up my shiny Mewtwo.
    To get my non-Go shiny Mew and Jirachi, I’ll probably look at Blisy’s eReader events and the process for injecting them into my homebrewed 3DS for completion on my VC version of Emerald.

Still need to catch shiny Lugia. I chucked a masterball at Mew.

    I know most people probably don't care, but at 25:24 the reason why the character has 2 different index numbers is because Japanese uses 2 different "alphabets", despite the second one just changing what the symbols look like and not the what they actually sound like. I won't explain the reason why, but the two are called Hiragana and Katakana and some symbols for both are either very similar or just the same, so that's why that symbol has 2 different indexes (despite having them share one index would have been more memory efficient AND CHANGES NOTHING)
