      Please do a gauntlet where you get a Kricketune to Lv.100 by only killing Kricketune, so we here it's cry the entire gauntlet long.

    this demo means a lot to me. it was the first experience i had with pokemon, before i even really played video games i heard about this "free pokemon game" from school and had to try it. i couldnt get a real pokemon game so i always just played this one. at some point, my dad bought me omegaruby and i played most of the game with just the glalie i got from the demo, who was female and named "Franzi".

    I cannot help but admire the absolute dedication for this utterly pointless task. The grind for grinds sake. You are simply built different sir. Truly one for the books.
    Edit: in the last two days I became somewhat obsessed with this video and its premise. I just love that everything in this demo basically screams: "DO NOT DO THIS, IT IS POINTLESS and dumb!" - the fact that you can't save, the fact that you can't transfer the pokemon, and for God's sake it isnt even supposed to be a visible shiny. Yet Absol the madlad didn't get deterred by all these warning signs, hell it probably even motivated him. This in my opinion is a prime display of the human spirit. Everything tells you not to attempt this nonsense, Absol embraces the nonsense of it all. I think is what Camus meant when he said that we have to imagine that Sissiphus is happy. The struggle itself toward a non-existent shiny and grinding it to level 100 with Random level 40 encounters is enough to fill a man's heart. The next time I run into an obstacle I will remember the legend of Absol who despite setting himself up for ridiculously dumb challenges still prevails and pushed onward. Godspeed you magnificent Bastard

    In case you're interested, I plugged the Swampert's stat's into an IV calculator. It has 26 HP, 2 Atk, 4 Def, 18 SpA, 24 SpD, and 20 Spd.
    I assumed that the EV's gained from anything other than HP from the Glalie were negligible.

    Every time I see a shiny like this that "nobody would hunt normally", I think of those odds. About 1/4000 in Gen 6, yeah? Even if only like 100,000 people downloaded the demo(the full games sold like 15 million copies, so very conservative estimate assuming most people didn't know about the demo) that's still like 25 people that just naturally experienced this, at least some of whom probably knew very little about what was happening (small children, casuals etc).
    Imagine having this happen and then you're left wondering the rest of the game why no other Pokemon do this cool animation when they enter battle, not even your own Marshtomp if you play the regular game lol

My family are really big into Halloween and love passing by and seeing the new stuff they put up every year. Always cool to see local stuff in your videos. Also mad props for doing this kind of hunt at all, even if only for the principal. You may very well be the first person to do this. Well done!

    The ORAS demo was a great experience all those years ago.
    X was my first game, followed by Y, then I got Alpha Sapphire. I played that demo as much as I possibly could and had a great time doing it. Between this and the Sun/Moon demo, I had some really great times with Pokemon games that weren't REALLY Pokemon games. I'm kinda sad they don't do demos anymore, they were a fun early look at the games and a good way to hype them up.

    Hearing the music and noises from the game feels amazing. My first ever pokemon game was Omega Ruby, but the demo was the first thing I ever played over and over. Glad to see the game again in 2022.
