Thanks to Factor75 for sponsoring today's video. Use my link to get 50% off your first Factor box and 20% off your next month of orders! strms.net/factor75_semaj_ch Thanks again so much for watching! This one was somehow the most complex yet so I would love to hear what you thought below! :) UPDATES BELOW (Spoiler!) - Great catch thanks to Headbob and a few others for gen 8, we can actually use a wishing piece in the inactive dens regardless of the badge requirement! Thus the run would likely be 45-50 minutes (as with the dragon den in that challenge) pending how difficult the ditto raid is! I had no idea about that one and Headbob shared an example here: ua-cam.com/video/NXuf6JwDtmA/v-deo.htmlsi=-J3LtSHltInyuQo_&t=4235
My thoughts exactly! ;) To this though: after getting into the routing for gen 4 I heavily debated it being it's own video, but I felt the dex video alone may have been too out of left field at least currently. But I do still wonder if it could stand on it's own and given that others have liked it we could potentially look at this challenge for other regions in the future (and potentially adapt this section as it's own in the future to go along side it). :) Thanks for the great comment!
Honestly you probably could spin off the section with a couple minor edits and a new intro and outro and it would stand well on its own. Plus given how much work this video took I say getting a second release out of it is very fair
your diamond/pearl routing is genuinely so satisfying that i'd genuinely watch a video of you just detailing the optimal route for regional dex 'seen' completion in any single game
Loved the gen 4 section, not only because it's an amazing gen, but also because it perfectly reflects the effort done on this channel. Instead of keeping it roughly the same length as the other sections we got an in-depth showcase of several routes and explanation of why they were chosen in the end. Also the Ditto in the bottom left was a nice addition and always funny to see its expression change.
Thanks so much for all the support Sev! I was really nervous about what people would think of the gen 4 section so it means a ton! And glad you loved the ditto, I had fun with that bit. XD
Close to half the videos run time is dedicated to gen 4 being unnecessarily difficult to do almost anything. My favorite childhood game has caused you so much work. I am impressed by your resolve and in awe of your immaculate planning in each game. It is both insane and inspiring. UA-cam has recommended me a channel I can't not subscribe to for such dedication to being the very best that no one ever was.
Your idea-list is probably full but im interested in a "how fast can you catch the champions ace?" in its respective edition. Like a Garchomp in Gen 4, Metagross/Milotic in Gen 3 etc.
Hm. Gen 9 you can access a cave with Glimmets pretty early but they have a VERY low spawn rate (no wonder Nemona associated Glimmora with Area Zero, since they're very common there). What's Kukui's ace? If it's Lycanroc you can probably get it the earliest out of everything since Rockruff are found near the beginning town and they don't take all THAT long to evolve. Just be sure you get the right form. For Diantha you'd need both a Gardevoir and a Gardevoirite. I don't remember where you find either. Ralts are usually fairly early on but good luck with the encounter rate. Leon gives you a Charmander in the postgame doesn't he? Idk if you can find a Charizard earlier than that. And if you want to throw in a bonus, you can access Togepis in early to mid game in Hisui and it's easier than ever to evolve them so you can rock up to Volo with a Togekiss you've had for ages.
The Omega Ruby situation is kind of hilarious. If you're completely strict about it and say you have to play the games as they exist now, rather than as they did before online services shut down... then the fastest way to get it is technically to do the entire run up until getting to check a Mirage Spot, and then if it's not the right one, resetting and starting a whole new run.
You are so right, I didn't get too into the logistics of if we did wait for the spots so I had yet to think about that being faster than waiting literal days. XD
Having done a Professor Oak’s Challenge I can say that Ditto is absolutely catchable in Sword and Shield without any badges. The raid den doesn’t naturally activate until later in the game but you are still able to throw wishing pieces in as soon as you get to the wild area for a quick capture which should easily be sub 1 hour
National Dex Run routing in Diamond/Pearl was super interesting. Loved how in depth you got with explaining all the options and investigating them. I'm sure it was a ton of effort, however as a viewer it felt worth it :)
I just want to say that i really enjoy this "how quick you can do X" series. It's telling me something about ones of my favorite games, which is curious and funny at the same time, and i have a really great time. Thanks for your work and i wish you good luck and take care
I was so mesmerized by the gen 4 section, I scrolled down to look at the comments, and only then I looked at the video's timestamp. That's 20 mins of solely gen 4.
All of the raid dens in Sword/Shield can be activated at any time once you have a wishing piece, they just won't be part of the 10 dens with a pokémon present that reroll every day, so you could catch a Ditto before badge one inside of a 1 star raid and not have the shield that 3 star raids and above have
Jesus, that Gen 4 part was absurdly long compared to the rest! At least it wasn't as insane as the legendaries challenge, but I still dread to think how much time you had to put in that research. Kudos to you! Great video as always, definetely worth the wait.
Thanks as always Gordon! Yeah, research wise this one was a bit of a nightmare but I hoped it would create an interesting story! XD So glad to hear you enjoyed. :)
The fastest way to obtain a ditto can be useful for gen 6+ due to how you can pick which language you want to use Pick the fastest route, start the new save in a new language, speedrun to ditto, catch however ditto you wish, transfer them to all other games for masuda breeding
@@notapplicable6985 well I have set my copy of X to French a number of years ago for French ditto and they seem to work? At least when I transfer them to English games the ditto have the “FRE” icon that indicates that they came from a French game But if what you are saying is true then the language icon is effectively useless if you could have two ditto that look to be from different languages but the method doesn’t work or they look to be from the same language but the method does work
big fan of the gen 4 section because it reminds me of when i wanted to go back and do pokeradar hunting and didnt know how to get the dang thing. i was looking up pokemon and trainer locations and crosscomparing with my pokedex to find out what pokemon i was missing lol
Here's a fun fact for catching Dittos..... if your lead has the Illusion ability, and it is active, Ditto will fail to transform into it (this works on both the move and the imposter ability)... leaving it to just sit there until you catch it, knock it out, or it runs out of Transform PP and start struggling. It's not optimal for speed, but if you can get a Zoura or Zororark before the Ditto, grabbing it can trivialize the catch.
i think a fun challenge would be "how fast can you get a dark type". gen 1 would have to be skipped due to not having any, but some other games might be interesting
No lie, the 100% seen pokedex strat was kinda interesting to watch, would be fun to see that done more often, but what hard work it must have been to go through
Another tip for Scarlet and Violet: If you throw your pokeball at a disguised Ditto's back, you'll have better odds of successfully catching it, made especially easy since Ditto won't react to your presence.
Came here to say this channel 100% deserves more subs and views. It's such a high effort creative idea with so much care put into every detail. Completing an entrie dex for the sake of a ditto is maddening and only encompasses one portion of the challenge. You must lut in so much work and time but every video you've put out is a banger, also great thumbnails cant discredit those. I really hope you get recognized for the awesome content you do. Keep it up!
This was so kind, I really appreciate it and it truly means ton. I am always trying to give it my all with these and I have so much fun working on them. Thanks for being here to watch them and support my work Snow! :)
@@semaJCh Yep, I always look forward to it. I understand many people are very impatient they don't like such distance between up loads. But, I appreciate good things take time and your content is gleaming proof. Keep it up!
Isn’t there a faster method to get SwSh Ditto than 1 hour and 48 minutes? -speedrun up to obtaining fly -make your way to the isle of armour -make your way to Diggin Pa (located at the entrance of Warm-Up Tunnel) -get given free Watts from Diggin Pa -exchange those watts for wishing piece -make your way to the den to soft reset until you get Ditto
As always, I so appreciate the effort that went into this video! You weren't kidding when you promised a long one in that community post. Thank you as always for the entertaining content, and your dedication to the challenge. May the algorithm bless you.
This video idea could have easily been "You need this many badges to get to this route for Ditto" but I'm glad there was so much more effort put into it. The break down for a "see all pokemon" speedrun route was very interesting.
Route 14 is where I found my first ditto ever. It will forever be the gen 1 ditto grass to me, even if 15 is slightly easier. It's also just more satisfying to hunt in a bigger patch of grass lol
This video is so satisfying and cozy that I've fallen asleep without finishing it 3 times (this is a COMPLIMENT). I finally got up early and said screw it, I'm finishing this goated video
The Sinnoh Section has gone on for so long I completely forgot that this was a Ditto video and I thought I was watching a guide for how to do a Regional Pokedex % speed run.
I saw your videos getting recommended to me some times but never watched it until now, and holy this video was so amazing i will definitely check your other videeo. That dp segment was so amazing you got a new subscriber 😁
0:17 - 0:19 What I heard: "leading Ditto to become an SSD for creating the best pokemon in the highest tournaments..." Which still makes sense IMHO. But I did turn on the closed captions and figured it out.
Great video! I loved the dedication on Gen 4. It got me thinking; Is Gen 4 Pearl/Diamond the only game you can complete the Regional Dex in with just a single game. "How fast can you obtain the National Dex in every game" could be fun but would be a lot of work. Even if the answer might be that it's not even possible for some games it would be fun to see just how far you can get with just a single copy. ... wait not every game has a National Dex. Uh... nevermind then I guess?
Thanks for watching! That song is certainly on the more intense side! Out of curiosity, did you still enjoy that segment + song combo? It was the song I was most worried about because of that intensity, but it was so fun and I felt it fit the segment in theme which made it hard to tell what was right. XD
Id love to see a video seeing how long it takes to obtain a move of every type in the game. It doesn't have to be learned by a mon, just needs to have been obtained.
For these kinds of videos I feel as if you were to find the specified Pokémon as if it was your first encounter would be the fastest even if going to the following routes to find it at a higher encounter rate could also be faster depending on your luck. Same applies to the Poké Ball, at least for the legendary video, theoretically you can throw a Poke Ball at the legendary beasts in GSC/HGSS for the shits and giggles and somehow get it in your first ball. lol I love these videos, keep up the good work.
Another great video!!!! One thing I will note though is that while you are right in saying the northern part of the Wild Area in SWSH unlocks for naturally occuring raids after beating the 3rd gym, you can actually throw Wishing Pieces into dens in the north part of the Wild Area before that point (as shown in this run ua-cam.com/video/NXuf6JwDtmA/v-deo.htmlsi=-J3LtSHltInyuQo_&t=4235 ). Nonetheless though I really think it's awesome the work you're putting into these videos (especially the DP Ditto my goodness lol), keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for the support and that catch! I did not at all realize that was possible! Given that, SWSH would be a similar time to our SWSH dragon run (~45 + extra walking to stony wilderness den), although I could see a scenario where the raid is actually a bit tough still so that might need to be accounted for! :)
I was curious what people would think about that! It seems it is interesting to others so I could totally clean up my notes a bit and share what I have in the future for reference + a starting place for any one who wants to try!
Another amazing episode. Just makes me all the more excited to see my idea be done but I must keep reminding myself to be patient. I hope I'm not coming off as rude for bringing it up. I sometimes just don't know what's appropriate when it comes to ideas one has pitched for a video. Regardless though I look forward to the next one.
Thanks for the continued support Golurk! No worries about asking and Pseudo legends are certainly on the table! With the completion of ditto, the 2 biggest challenges I had in the works for a while now are done. That said, their is room to try some new things and I will certainly be looking into this one. :)
@@semaJCh Sweet to hear! It would also be slightly different than the usual How Fast Can You Catch (HFCYC) episode. As the idea is per generation not per game.
As always, another ABSOLUTE BANGER from semaJ I cannot believe how much work these games make you do to get Ditto... I never really even liked Ditto when I was little and always thought they were a low tier pokemon 😂 I for real forgot halfway through the Pearl section what the challenge even was. The fact that you go through so much of this and dedicate such a ludicrous amount of your time just to give us good food is bonkers. Thanks for another crazy video! Can't wait to see what's in store next 😘
Ditto was my favorite Pokémon before Sun/Moon came out and I remember little me was annoyed that Ditto wasn’t in the Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokédex. I thought Game Freak didn’t like Ditto at the time
31:17 Street Pass wasn't shut down. That's peer to peer without internet needed, just sending short data packets to nearby 3DSes. But the issue is you'd need to be around other people also playing the same game. It could be arranged but in this day and age you'd have to set it up in advance. And, you know, use an actual system rather than the high seas. Also did I miss something? Why could you not check the field pokémon in SV with the shoulder buttons?
Then you'd have to define dog. Do foxes count? If so then Let's Go Eevee is the earliest since it's your starter. Do we count hyenas? If not how do we account for how Poochyena is very much not a hyena despite the name? Which angle do we go by?
@@BJGvideos If it can learn the move 'Howl' through any means (in any installment) then its a dog. And dont come back to me with "Oh Whismur and Scream Tail are dogs then?" because they are dogs. Dogs is a state of mind.
They knew from the very beginning that Ditto's main use would be for getting eggs. Or why else did they put it right in front of the daycare centre in the generation that introduced eggs?
Ditto isn't in Legends Arceus because the Mewtwo experiment is years away. Ditto being a failed clone of Mew would disqualify his appearance in Hisui due to it not having been created yet.

Can you do how fast can you get a pseudo legendaries
Great video can I suggest how fast can you obtain HM03/TM94/TM95/TM123/TM47/TR04 in each generation? Or are you afraid to surf it up for that?
Here is a challenge idea: how quick can ya catch a team composed of a fire, water, and grass type with none of them being a starter
At some point I forgot this was a Ditto video and was just so invested in routing out a gen 4 national dex speed run
My thoughts exactly! ;)
To this though: after getting into the routing for gen 4 I heavily debated it being it's own video, but I felt the dex video alone may have been too out of left field at least currently. But I do still wonder if it could stand on it's own and given that others have liked it we could potentially look at this challenge for other regions in the future (and potentially adapt this section as it's own in the future to go along side it). :)

Me too, at some point i just needed to look again what the Video was about 😂
same
Honestly you probably could spin off the section with a couple minor edits and a new intro and outro and it would stand well on its own. Plus given how much work this video took I say getting a second release out of it is very fair
@@semaJCh Making a whole series that is just seperate videos doing "Getting National Dex As Fast As Possible For X Game" would be interesting.
"How fast can I complete the Sinnoh Regional Dex"
Very true ;)
sinnoh regional is needed for e4r2 so look up speadruns in that category for the answer
your diamond/pearl routing is genuinely so satisfying that i'd genuinely watch a video of you just detailing the optimal route for regional dex 'seen' completion in any single game
Thanks for the support and feedback! Very helpful to know as this is definitely on the table now! :)

diamond and pearl were truly some of the funniest pokémon games ever made, this isn’t even the full extent of their bullshittery 😭
Your idea-list is probably full but im interested in a "how fast can you catch the champions ace?" in its respective edition. Like a Garchomp in Gen 4, Metagross/Milotic in Gen 3 etc.
Metagross only in the postgame lol
Thank you for the idea! This is a fun one that I hadn't thought of before and will totally put this one on the list of options!
@@shadycactus7896that hasn't stopped them before bestie, so it would still be interesting
Hm. Gen 9 you can access a cave with Glimmets pretty early but they have a VERY low spawn rate (no wonder Nemona associated Glimmora with Area Zero, since they're very common there).

I feel like catching the entire champion’s team in the region would be a little more complete for this idea, but it is a very good one
The Omega Ruby situation is kind of hilarious. If you're completely strict about it and say you have to play the games as they exist now, rather than as they did before online services shut down... then the fastest way to get it is technically to do the entire run up until getting to check a Mirage Spot, and then if it's not the right one, resetting and starting a whole new run.

Thanks as always Gordon! Yeah, research wise this one was a bit of a nightmare but I hoped it would create an interesting story! XD So glad to hear you enjoyed. :)
Idea:
How fast can you catch a (non starter) Water Type Pokemon?
Crystal Version might win since it puts Poliwag in the grass on Route 30 at night.
The fastest way to obtain a ditto can be useful for gen 6+ due to how you can pick which language you want to use
Pick the fastest route, start the new save in a new language, speedrun to ditto, catch however ditto you wish, transfer them to all other games for masuda breeding
For gen 6 it from what I've read, it actually counts the cartriges origin for region locking, not the dex language unfortunately
@@notapplicable6985 well I have set my copy of X to French a number of years ago for French ditto and they seem to work? At least when I transfer them to English games the ditto have the “FRE” icon that indicates that they came from a French game

Totally, it was a ton of fun to end on that one! :)
man that sinnoh route was way too complex compared to the ones before it 😭amazing video as usual, will be excited to see that shiny one 👀
Ditto is a complicated blob with many exhausting ways to catch it. The sinnoh section had so much planning!
big fan of the gen 4 section because it reminds me of when i wanted to go back and do pokeradar hunting and didnt know how to get the dang thing. i was looking up pokemon and trainer locations and crosscomparing with my pokedex to find out what pokemon i was missing lol

Alternative title: how to obtain national dex in Pokémon Diamond/Pearl
The Sinnoh Section has gone on for so long I completely forgot that this was a Ditto video and I thought I was watching a guide for how to do a Regional Pokedex % speed run.
I saw your videos getting recommended to me some times but never watched it until now, and holy this video was so amazing i will definitely check your other videeo. That dp segment was so amazing you got a new subscriber 😁
Thanks for the support and the kind words, really glad you enjoyed! 😊
@@semaJCh you're most welcome 🤗
Xerneas' catch rate is 45 which is higher than ditto's 35 so the masterball could be saved for ditto
0:17 - 0:19
What I heard: "leading Ditto to become an SSD for creating the best pokemon in the highest tournaments..."
Which still makes sense IMHO.
But I did turn on the closed captions and figured it out.
Great video! I loved the dedication on Gen 4. It got me thinking; Is Gen 4 Pearl/Diamond the only game you can complete the Regional Dex in with just a single game. "How fast can you obtain the National Dex in every game" could be fun but would be a lot of work. Even if the answer might be that it's not even possible for some games it would be fun to see just how far you can get with just a single copy.
... wait not every game has a National Dex. Uh... nevermind then I guess?
Certainly on the table! Potentially singleton videos per dex could work if the community is interested! :) Thanks for watching!
@@semaJCh Oh Hell Yeah
15:25 the jazz quietly playing in the background made me think 2 songs were playing at once, or my phone was acting up.
Thanks for watching! That song is certainly on the more intense side! Out of curiosity, did you still enjoy that segment + song combo? It was the song I was most worried about because of that intensity, but it was so fun and I felt it fit the segment in theme which made it hard to tell what was right. XD
maybe the fact that ditto is not in legends arceus is the confiramtion of the theory that ditto is failed mew clone
no, ditto was the primordial pokemon older than mew
Id love to see a video seeing how long it takes to obtain a move of every type in the game. It doesn't have to be learned by a mon, just needs to have been obtained.
Fun idea, thank you!!!
we care about this once imposter becomes a ditto. magikarp is the more iconic one because early gyrardos turns this game to ez mode
This is the fastest click of my LIFE! LOVE Ditto!
Steel type catching video please
For these kinds of videos I feel as if you were to find the specified Pokémon as if it was your first encounter would be the fastest even if going to the following routes to find it at a higher encounter rate could also be faster depending on your luck.

Nonetheless though I really think it's awesome the work you're putting into these videos (especially the DP Ditto my goodness lol), keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for the support and that catch! I did not at all realize that was possible! Given that, SWSH would be a similar time to our SWSH dragon run (~45 + extra walking to stony wilderness den), although I could see a scenario where the raid is actually a bit tough still so that might need to be accounted for! :)
The routing analysis for obtaining the National Dex in Gen 4 is amazing, but I think it should have been it's own video.
“How fast can I get a version exclusive” might be interesting
The Nat Dex of Gen 4 was extra interesting, do you think you will release the doc for this sort of Nat dex speedrun ?
I was curious what people would think about that! It seems it is interesting to others so I could totally clean up my notes a bit and share what I have in the future for reference + a starting place for any one who wants to try!
@@semaJCh That would be wonderful, thanks you, i hope we'll get other national dex speedrun (in the limit of your energy of course)
Another amazing episode. Just makes me all the more excited to see my idea be done but I must keep reminding myself to be patient. I hope I'm not coming off as rude for bringing it up. I sometimes just don't know what's appropriate when it comes to ideas one has pitched for a video. Regardless though I look forward to the next one.
Thanks for the continued support Golurk! No worries about asking and Pseudo legends are certainly on the table! With the completion of ditto, the 2 biggest challenges I had in the works for a while now are done. That said, their is room to try some new things and I will certainly be looking into this one. :)
@@semaJCh
Sweet to hear!
It would also be slightly different than the usual How Fast Can You Catch (HFCYC) episode. As the idea is per generation not per game.
I think ive mentioned this on a previous video, but I'd be interested in seeing how long it takes to obtain hyper beam in a pokemon game
Another banger from semaJ Ch
But how fast could you take a picture of a Ditto in the Pokemon SNAP! games?
I debated going into this just for the extra footage but I had to stop myself at some point. XD
Yey!!! A full video about me ❤
I remember in my first playthrough, i could not for the life of me find Burmadame anywhere.
thank you for another bangin' video from my favorite youtuber!!! 🥰🥰😍😍💕💕
Thanks for the support!
This Is after many years one of my favourite thinkpeces in this site, always reminds me to do things
Finally, we have discovered the only gamer in the world! We’ve been searching for so long! ❤
Now do every Psuedo Legendary
Thank you very much.
This is a big help.
As always, another ABSOLUTE BANGER from semaJ
I cannot believe how much work these games make you do to get Ditto... I never really even liked Ditto when I was little and always thought they were a low tier pokemon 😂
I for real forgot halfway through the Pearl section what the challenge even was. The fact that you go through so much of this and dedicate such a ludicrous amount of your time just to give us good food is bonkers. Thanks for another crazy video! Can't wait to see what's in store next 😘
I legit forgot what the video was about during Sinoh I had to check
Ditto was my favorite Pokémon before Sun/Moon came out and I remember little me was annoyed that Ditto wasn’t in the Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokédex. I thought Game Freak didn’t like Ditto at the time
31:17 Street Pass wasn't shut down. That's peer to peer without internet needed, just sending short data packets to nearby 3DSes. But the issue is you'd need to be around other people also playing the same game. It could be arranged but in this day and age you'd have to set it up in advance. And, you know, use an actual system rather than the high seas.
Also did I miss something? Why could you not check the field pokémon in SV with the shoulder buttons?
Because not everyone knows the shoulder buttons ditto/zorua trick ...
@@FrostFire425It's pretty simple though and a lot less arcane knowledge than a lot of the stuff in this video
0:30 There are wild Bronzong in Mt. Coronet...
What if, in a game, you were an experimental ditto that breaks out of the lab and becomes a trainer
They really out here making 40 minute plus videos about something that takes 10 seconds to Google, and I'm down for it
i have a idea how fast can you get a double type pokemon in every pokemon game ( fast video and pretty cool to watch )
I thought I was watching a DP speed run to get the national dex. Completely forgot I was watching a ditto video 😂
Ditto is one my favorite Pokémon.
that one time where you want to loose against cynthia
Me at 3 a.m: I need to sleep
Also me: Well well, let's find out...
*_Identity theft : the movie_*
I know its not the usual challenge but 'How fast you can catch a dog in each game' would be fun
Then you'd have to define dog. Do foxes count? If so then Let's Go Eevee is the earliest since it's your starter.
Do we count hyenas? If not how do we account for how Poochyena is very much not a hyena despite the name? Which angle do we go by?
@@BJGvideos If it can learn the move 'Howl' through any means (in any installment) then its a dog. And dont come back to me with "Oh Whismur and Scream Tail are dogs then?" because they are dogs. Dogs is a state of mind.
Here's a challenge
How fast can you catch a Baby (Pre Evolution) Pokemon?
Only Pokemon that gained a pre evolution after its introduction will count.
At diamond and Pearl i just thought this was a different video because of all the prep
Having firends racing on each game selected at random to get it with limited information or clues would have been way more fun for the video...
They knew from the very beginning that Ditto's main use would be for getting eggs. Or why else did they put it right in front of the daycare centre in the generation that introduced eggs?
Ditto isn't in Legends Arceus because the Mewtwo experiment is years away. Ditto being a failed clone of Mew would disqualify his appearance in Hisui due to it not having been created yet.
Looking at the chapter length makes this so funny. Diamond and Pearl last for a little under half the video and then XY are a minute and a half.
Ditto is a burble blob
RUN DITTO RUN
ohhhhh ditto lol I am very curious about how early you can catch it lol
lol awesome video
Maybe become you inner bug catcher and find the fastest bug typ in every game?
This video was made for me.
yayyyyy the kirby reference actually helped in gen 4 (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
Was there a video on how fast you can catch magikarp in every pokemon game?
