Two shiny starters in a row, then the zigzagoon you can’t catch is shiny, and then May has a shiny starter… Even with the improved odds, what exactly did you do to be blessed with such incredible shiny luck?
I’d love to see a video where the odds of getting shinies and the odds of regular color Pokémon are swapped for an episode. And you lose when you encounter a normal color Pokémon
That would be way too easy tho. In a normal playthrough it's very unlikely that you even have 1000 Pokémon battles. So if aren't actually shiny-hunting for hours on end, the chances are pretty low that you actually encounter a shiny or, in this case, anything but a shiny.
Maybe to lessen the "chaosity" as they put it, they can gain immunity for each badge they get. For example, since Mikey now has 1 badge, he now only resets back to Rustboro City on the 2nd shiny he sees.
I always pick the grass starter. I always say I’m gonna pick another type but when they line up, the green ones are just too cute to pass up 😅 I do choose the other types when I replay the games tho
“Grass starters get a lot of hate” Me who uses almost always grass starters: *cry’s in defeating Brock and misty* Edit: I did not think I would get this amount of likes. Thanks so much!!
Only by the phylogenetics classification system which is based solely off of ancestry and has nothing to do with the actual animal. In the normal classification system birds are not reptiles
7:06 I honestly didn’t realize people switch up the type they start with, because so far in all of the games I’ve played, I’ve always picked fire (because it’s my favorite type) Edit: Except for shining pearl, I picked piplup
I feel like when he said he would stop laughing at Mikey’s misfortune, it reminded me of when you’re laughing with your friend and there’s that moment of silence before laughing even harder.
As children and has continued into adulthood, my brothers and I would each pick a starter. In most of the games, I have had every grass except Chespin and Grookey in the first playthroughs. It is interesting to hear what people did as kids, how they chose a starter if their siblings or friends played the games.
7:05 Yes, my sister and I are like this. For 90% of the games I’ve always picked the fire starter and she’s always picked the grass starter. The only exceptions being Gen 2 and Gen 4 where we switched types and she picked the fire type instead! I’ve always just looked at it as Fire is always on of the rarest types to find in the wild and all the fire starters have amazing designs! ((I probably would’ve picked the fire type too in the other generations if it weren’t for the fact my sister pick it first))
Yeah, even if fire wasn't my favourite type, I'd probably often pick the fire starter. Especially cemented after the fiasco that was Sinnoh where you either had Rapidash or bust (and I just don't particularly like Rapidash). At least in plat, they added Flareon (lol), Houndoom (good) and Magmortar (also good, but iirc you got the evo item only off wild Magmar or something), which while better, still was very meager.
Imagine the odds of getting a shiny zigzagoon AND your starter being shiny? Also imagine the reaction that John would've made if this happened during the video at the moment he got shiny zigzagoon.
I've picked Bulbasaur, Cindaquil, Treecko, Piplup, The water starter of the 5th gen (lol), Froakie, Litten and Sobble on my first playthrough these games.
I was gonna say i like his past look more funnily enough, his adolescent looking look with the hair combed to the side back in the 1st Black n White Metronome Nuzlocke he did with Mikey.
I usually pick the Fire starter, not because I hate the Grass or Water starters, but I just like the Fire starter better. My all time favorite starter is Infernape. I did, however, pick Chikorita in Soul Silver, Snivy in Black/White and Black/White 2 and Froakie in Y. I also plan on picking Sprigatito in Scarlet/Violet, so I do sometimes pick others. In fact, funny enough, Water is the starter I've picked the least. Which is ironic considering blue is my favorite color.
I always started with bulbasaur because he is the most logical starters for the first three gyms plus the caves because of pokemon like Onix and geodude, so yeah for me bulbasaur was my first ever choice specially in leaf green.
@@adamali4778 Boy Platinum was a masterpiece with all the best ever starters all for their own unique reason i hope they come up with better starter choice then they did on a later games because they hit the bulls eye with platinum
I chose bulbysaur (the actual spelling is less cute) because they're a little onion rascal and then I justified the choice retroactively with how breezy the first 3 gyms are by which point you can access plenty of new friends for your sassy medium sized ivysaur. I do generally default to grass starters but torchic was my first in ruby and I do choose non-grass starters sometimes.
Ooh, John, I had a suggestion for you! I love the concept of this video, but how to expand on it? Make it an extended, multivideo race! After beating a gym, you can save, so your reset point advances every time. First to beat Wallace (over the course of 8-10 videos, maybe!) is the true winner!
Just decrease the odds to 1/200 or 1/250, but no resetting to the last save. They could get almost all the way through the game and then have to restart from the beginning! It would be _amazing._
8:25 He's finally done Team Sky in Kalos and there was no Tyrantrum. I expect outrage of the highest order from Sky Admin John Guy in the next JMC video lol
I met a kid at school who had a bulbasaur keychain on his bag and when I complimented him for it he told me "grass starters for life" Im not a person who always picks the same type for my starters (snivy in bw2, tepig in bw and piplup in pt) but he is
The odds of finding back to back shiny starters are rarer than a shiny starter in the regular games and back to back to back shinies are 1 in a million. Also finding a shiny starter and shiny zigzagoon are also rarer than a shiny starter in the regular games
i have used consecutive grass type starters in: ultra moon, let's go(i immediately got a bulbasaur and never caught any other starter for the playthrough), and shield
Out of the three base elements, I usually pick the Water starters, but my first ever starter was Snivy in Black and I chose Bulbasaur in Red, Rowlett in Sun.
I’ve used a starter of each type at least once. I usually lean towards water type since I just love the water types and typings. Piplup is still one of my favourite starters. Snivy is also on my fav starter list. I don’t care what you say, Snivy is cute af.
7:30 I usually rotate, just to give them all a shot in a play through, yes this also means I have used a Chicorita and it was hell, it instantly made the game hard mode xD. But in my first runs I have used all types, - Charmander in Red, Squirtle in Leaf green. - Totodile in Gold, because croco-boy, Cindaquil in soul silver. - Treecko in Ruby (because it looked cool), Mudkip in Alpha sapphire. - Chimchar in pearl (basicly a must in pearl, if you want a fire type and not be stuck with a Ponyta). (currently doing a re-play on Brilliant diamond and did choose a Piplup for this run). - Snivy in Black. - Tepig in White 2. - Froakie in X. - Rowlet in Sun. - Sobble in Sword. - Planning on using Fuecoco in either Scarlet or Violet (depends on which game a buddy of mine and I settle on (as I had sword last time and he picked shield)) because Croco-pepper-boy xD.
I have used most of the grass starters except for Grookey, and although I have not played Gen 5, I was traded a Snivy in Ultra Sun, and I used it the entire playthrough
Mikey! I actually do always pick the grass starter, when I received my copy of silver my friends picked Cyndaquil and Totodile and I picked Chikorita to be different, then in Sinnoh they both picked turtwig so I went with turtwig as well. Since then it’s been tradition for me to use the grass starters
7:20 Honestly, I have. I didn't realize at first I was always picking the fire starter, but when I did, I pretty much made it a tradition that my first playthrough of a new game, I would pick the fire starter, regardless of if it's good or not.
Wow! I never expected to hear something that instantly reminds me of my childhood while attempting my first nuzlocke (bet I'll regret it cause I get very attached to all my pokemon). Anyway, back when Sliver and gold came out, I finally got into Pokemon and was given Sliver for my birthday. My two older brothers were already into pokemon and were each given gold. I was a possessive little brat and didn't want to share my starter, thus demanding rules to our pokemon picks! After a game of rock-paper-siccors the order was set. First, my brother picked the fire type. Second, my eldest brother picked water type. So I, yes me, was left with Grass! For the next few years whenever I started any pokemon game (along with my brothers) we'd stick to our types. This did stop after my big brothers stopping playing the games after X and Y. Still though, I see grass starters as "mine". They hold a very unique place in my heart: that selfish little girl in me giggles when I pick the grass starter of any generation.
Whenever I first play through a game, I always choose the water starter, cuz my very first starter was Squirtle in Blue. After that first playthrough though I mix it up.
I pick the starter I like the most Gen 1: bulbasaur Gen 2: cyndaquill Gen 3: mudkip Gen 4: turtwig Gen 5: oshowatt Gen 6: fenniken Gen 7: popplio Gen 8: garooky Gen 9: sprigatito, breaks the even amount of fire, water, grass but I love it
I (almost) always pick the grass starter. I use the other ones too, when replaying a game, but I always do my first playthrough with a grass starter. Those are the ones I tend to use the most in replays as well. Pearl was my very first game, and Turtwig my very first starter. BW I picked Snivy. HeartGold was a Chikorita. And so on, so forth. Only game that I broke the pattern on was Emerald; I started with Torchic. I wasn't doing that on purpose, btw - I only realised it a couple years back during I had a conversation with a friend on the topic
"It couldn't be that bad. 1/100 is only a 1% chance."
Fire Emblem fans: "Never doubt the 1% chance."
MandJTV fans: "So it's a coin flip, basically."
I’m having flashbacks to playing Fire Emblem when my character missed a 98% chance to hit and the enemy managed a 1% crit
If it’s not 100 % accurate,it’s 50% accurate
Reborn fans: I see you have chosen pain.

They should totally have counters for how many reset/shinies they've had

If it’s bulbasaur then no way but🍑 all the others I’ll choose
John has a real synergy with Michael,compared with other folks

Studies show that was a lie
"Wow I see you everywhere"

Two shiny starters in a row, then the zigzagoon you can’t catch is shiny, and then May has a shiny starter…
Even with the improved odds, what exactly did you do to be blessed with such incredible shiny luck?
Lol yassss
Those odds are literally rarer than an actual shiny
@francisco villarruel well, they are modified odds, do it's around 1⁄100000000
I know right, it’s more like 1/10 shiny odds.
they modified the odds
that's what they did
Alternate title: John gets bullied by the first fight
This should be made into a series where each gym is a checkpoint and you see who can get the furthest
The only challenge where the first Youngster is the scariest NPC
I’d love to see a video where the odds of getting shinies and the odds of regular color Pokémon are swapped for an episode. And you lose when you encounter a normal color Pokémon
That would be way too easy tho. In a normal playthrough it's very unlikely that you even have 1000 Pokémon battles. So if aren't actually shiny-hunting for hours on end, the chances are pretty low that you actually encounter a shiny or, in this case, anything but a shiny.
That will not be funny because it would be like if you see a normal odd shiny you lose
Instead of normal = lose maybe it a 60/40 chance (shiny/nonshiny) and the goal is getting a full nonshiny team
Getting two consecutive shiny starters at those odds is a 1/10,000 chance event.
Which is rarer than actual shinies in a Normal pre gen 6 game😂
Jupp and what about the shiny zigzagoon and mudkip in the same scene
I do wonder if Emerald's broken RNG had something to do with it.
@@PhalanxKnight Emerald *was* broken, you could cut grass in it😂
Well they did increase the shiny odds to 1/100

Maybe to lessen the "chaosity" as they put it, they can gain immunity for each badge they get. For example, since Mikey now has 1 badge, he now only resets back to Rustboro City on the 2nd shiny he sees.

Fun fact your start with the 3 shinies is more unlikely than finding a normal shiny
Since he is restarting his game and not loading from a save state he is reloading his seed and is continually hitting the same shiny frame.
i laughed so much when he was like "get a shiny" and he almost immediately gets what he asked for but on himself
"I'll find a shiny wurple"

I almost always pick a grass starter, the exceptions being Chespin and Grooky, because I really didn't care for their final forms.
I didn’t pick grookey because I thought it was super ugly at first
7:20 I always choose fire as it is my actual and my my fav type
that was like a 1 in 1,000,000 chance for john to have to reset 5x consecutively
Wow! I never expected to hear something that instantly reminds me of my childhood while attempting my first nuzlocke (bet I'll regret it cause I get very attached to all my pokemon). Anyway, back when Sliver and gold came out, I finally got into Pokemon and was given Sliver for my birthday. My two older brothers were already into pokemon and were each given gold. I was a possessive little brat and didn't want to share my starter, thus demanding rules to our pokemon picks! After a game of rock-paper-siccors the order was set. First, my brother picked the fire type. Second, my eldest brother picked water type. So I, yes me, was left with Grass! For the next few years whenever I started any pokemon game (along with my brothers) we'd stick to our types. This did stop after my big brothers stopping playing the games after X and Y. Still though, I see grass starters as "mine". They hold a very unique place in my heart: that selfish little girl in me giggles when I pick the grass starter of any generation.
Whenever I first play through a game, I always choose the water starter, cuz my very first starter was Squirtle in Blue. After that first playthrough though I mix it up.
I pick the starter I like the most
Gen 1: bulbasaur
Gen 2: cyndaquill
Gen 3: mudkip
Gen 4: turtwig
Gen 5: oshowatt
Gen 6: fenniken
Gen 7: popplio
Gen 8: garooky
Gen 9: sprigatito, breaks the even amount of fire, water, grass but I love it
I almost always pick grass starters.
I always pick water, so I guess we're basically on the same boat
望月花 yeah I mostly choose water.
I always and will ALWAYS choose froakie and mudkip
Same, except for Charmander and Froakie.
The Fox Kit oh I'm surprised someone didn't choose froakie. It's basically the best starter in kalos in MY opinion
I pick fire
I (almost) always pick the grass starter. I use the other ones too, when replaying a game, but I always do my first playthrough with a grass starter. Those are the ones I tend to use the most in replays as well.
Pearl was my very first game, and Turtwig my very first starter. BW I picked Snivy. HeartGold was a Chikorita. And so on, so forth. Only game that I broke the pattern on was Emerald; I started with Torchic. I wasn't doing that on purpose, btw - I only realised it a couple years back during I had a conversation with a friend on the topic
Grass is my favorite type I always choose it
Grass is definitely my favorite of the starters. I’ve always picked them at least once per generation.
Mines water
The legendary shiny luck worked against John this time 😂
