Back when used Pokémon games for DS were a lot cheaper, we bought many used games to check for leftover Pokémon like this. I once found a shiny Ninetails (in SoulSilver).
sadly flame body doesnt work in ruby/sapphire outside of battle! it started as an out of battle effect in emerald. also that spinda was so cool! seems absolutely legit too since that cart was working on ordering the pokemon. so cool! i love preserving old save files. it feels like im carrying on a legacy. ive found multiple shinies with the original cart owners' trainer name and ID. loved the fun video!
Yeah we found this out during the premiere haha. They took so long... Love seeing what is sitting on all of these saves. I have a bunch more on the way, so I'm excited to do this again!
@@EruditeFeline pretty sure what they meant is that we're getting to the point where people (children) don't know that old consoles couldn't store save data

Fun video Calm!! The nostalgia hits every time the start screen would boot up... gotta love looking back at these little time capsules. Good finds and fun times!!
My first Shiny was an Absol in Ruby as a kid.. didn’t realize it until like last year when I got back into Pokémon. 🤣🤦🏻♂️ thought the stars were just a Pokemon I never caught
Ah, the bane of my existence. Despite having boxes of Shinies in various games, that is one I just cannot get in any game: mainline, mobile, or anything. I love Shiny Absol.
2:38 certain out of battle abilities don work until Emerald (magnet pull and HATCH EGG FAST are some of them). Said Milotic at 14:50 was probably marvel scale to increase its defense while status'd likely the white treehollows shiny dratini they've evolved. I'd be interested to see the pokeball for that Keldeo, considering how everything else in the boxes were gone usually you'd take a Keldeo with you, except if it wasn't a legal keldeo :)
21:25 you missed the pokerus, which it's odds on getting a single pokemon with it is even more rare than a shiny and can be found all the way up to galar.
@@murkydover you can only get it through a wild encounter and even then it would go away at I think midnight or in 24hr unless you put it in the PC where it'll stay and spread
I'm trying so hard to find some of the older games. I was forced to pawn what I had when I was a teenager, lol. It kills me now. I still need Ruby, Emerald, all the Gen 4 games, White, Black 2, HeartGold (I still have the box and insert for the one I had originally :( ), and Ultra Sun. I got Red, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal Japanese versions with new batteries for $75 on eBay couple years ago. They're mint!
Yeah, Pokerus is much rarer than shinies. Funny thing, though, I actually found Pokerus in both Emerald and SoulSilver, even though I’ve never found a shiny (not counting the red Gyarados) in any game prior to Gen 6.
@@metswillrockyou It spreads easily once you catch it. It’s getting one of your Pokémon to catch it from a wild Pokémon that’s the rare bit. If you put a Pokémon with Pokerus in your party and do a few battles, your whole party will probably contract it. They’ll stop being contagious if they’re in your party for too long, though (unless it’s an older game that the battery’s run out on)-have to keep a ‘mon with Pokerus in your PC to make sure you don’t lose it.
@@metswillrockyou What Pokerus does is double the EVs your Pokémon gain from battles, which will make them get stronger faster in a regular playthrough and cut EV-training time in half. It’s basically a built-in Macho Brace that your Pokémon doesn’t have to hold and that doesn’t slow them down, and you can stack it with the Macho Brace to cut EV-training time down to a quarter of what it otherwise would’ve been. So, unlike shinies, Pokerus isn’t just aesthetic. And a Pokémon that’s been cured of it will always reap the benefits of it-they just won’t be able to spread it to any more Pokémon.
Great concept for a video! My favorite parts where when you'd finish whatever fights the player left you in before continuing, when you really could've just skipped it for the video. Made it just htat much more amusing.
It's a higher chance that in Gen 1 Games the battery still works, then in Gen 2. The reason is, that the Real Clock Time in Gen 2. using Battery Life even without playing, so it's drained empty more quickly
Loving this video! Your commentary is both chill and funny, and watching you complete the gyms and elite four just to get ot the box was hilarious. And shiny spinda was so awesome!!!! That is a shiny I wish I could get. And then the double shiny Dragonair and Roserade... chef's kiss. The obvious rage quit at Tate ad Liza cracked me up. It's so fascinating to see the snapshot of what happened with these (likely kids) who originally played it, and then let go of the game. Makes me feel better for my kid self at having at least completed all the gym challenges, even if in most games I never finished or even started some of the post game stuff! Way to go kid me, you were a gamer from the start.
@@CalmAndCollecting Oh geeze I feel that. I think it took me nearly 20 times to beat the elite four in silver because kid me realized even when wiping I got more xp from their pokemon I managed to beat then grinding with wild ones. I still remember being under my covers with the gameboy light on, waaaay past my bedtime, SHAKING because I realized I was finally gonna beat Lance lol
The TID of 00000 is totally a thing. I have that in two of my Gen4 and 3 of my Gen 5 games lol. But yeah, Masterball Blastoise and Shiny Victiny are very much hacked. Still great vid, always fun to see how the former owners of some games played through them :)
I found the part about you owning 3 japanese sapphire games pretty funny, because I got a copy of that specific game in Akihabara when I went to Japan at the end of 2023. Some hopeful part of me likes to think that we were there at around the same time and that I managed to get mine before you. I'm most likely wrong but it's a funny thought to entertain that in some parallel universe the copy I have in my drawer is shown in this video :D
Awesome finds brotha! That Spinda is insanely rare and the Rosalia and Dragonair are really cool finds! Can’t wait to grab some game like this in Japan soon myself and share!🎉😊
the reason for the copies of diamond/pearl/platinum having a large pokédex number but sometimes very few pokemon in the box is because they display the number of pokemon seen instead of the number caught when you're about to load up the game. not too sure why they decided to change it from gen 3 to gen 4
@@LumenPsycho eh even if they don't I feel like most Pokemon fans are going to keep being pokemon fans and transferred their stuff away or at least traded it to another cart before selling their precious save along with their game
@@ChicagoMel23 are you sure? I remember using an event Arceus to unlock the shinjoh ruins for giratina. Maybe it was the Arceus with special rend and roar of time but i don't remember.
Funny story I had two copies of leaf green that my mom bought and on the save had like a deoxys and it was in a weird area, ironically i accidentally gave back the wrong copy of the game and now I feel like I was tripping all the time
i believe the shiny dragonair was able to be obtained throughout the game as a dratini as i also had a shiny dragonite and i believe its something you receive off of a npc
So you CAN find shinnies on gen 1 games. its just very difficult to do the process and its basically the single most ineffective shiny hunt imaginable. and then to top it off you dont even SEE that its shiny, unless you transfer it to a GEN2 game or later. but im pretty sure gen 1-3 are kind of stuck together and cant really get the pokemon transferred without using special software. One of the biggest shiny hunts is Mr.Mime that you trade for abra. At certain levels we know specific pokemons IVS to make them shiny. So you get a Level 50 abra and someone found the stat chart for shiny level 50 mr.mime and you do what you'd do in every game, hard reset until you get the one you want. but in this case you actually have to check stats EVERY SINGLE TIME. This works with any pokemon in the game but the fact that you'd have to check every IV, AFTER catching it makes only the Hard reset legendarys and trade pokemon even remotely worth it.
Thankfully, I’ve backed up all my childhood Pokémon games on the DS through custom hardware for a 3DS so in case I lose my cartridge, I will at least not lose my save files on my external ssd
Nothing hurt my soul more than when I sold all my Pokémon games to cover my son’s medical bills…and I accidentally sold my leaf green. I had that game since I was a kid and shiny hunted on there. I had about 32 shinies - from resetting the hypno in the forest, magikarp from the seller…I used to shiny hunt across multiple consoles too, was really fun to do in my downtime while watching tv. I still have my crystal with a handful of shinies…but losing my games hurt me ;-;
I'm surprised how much support I'm seeing for shiny Spinda. I got one in my last playthrough of OG Sapphire and I just considered it a junk shiny, but if people collect these for the patterns then I guess I'm glad I still have it.
Just so you know, in hgss the gyarados was a guaranteed shiny that you find in the lake of rage so if you thought that they had shiny hunted them, they most likely hadn’t
I bought a bunch of old DS and Gameboy Pokemon games last time I went to the US and I hit the jackpot and found a bunch of Legendaries and shinies, specially in the DS Pokemon games
I used a GB Operator / "Special" 3DS to pull over the saves and game files, so I could capture the gameplay for the video. I do actually have a capture card 3DS, but the scaling doesn't look as pretty as running it directly on the PC.
@@CalmAndCollecting Is there any chance we could DM about this "special" 3DS? I have a great interest in making some pokemon content and would love for it to look as good as this!

Went looking for old Pokémon games yesterday and I managed to get an amazing deal! Surprisingly I found it in NYC. I'm looking for Pokémon Ultra Moon, X and Omega Ruby to complete my collection of the the 3DS titles (NDS are too expensive for my budget lol). Went to 2 stores, the first one had CIB for Gen 6 and 7 titles but were all around $60-$65. They also had loose cartridges for those games plus the NDS titles, Gens 4 and 5 were $120+. Then went to another store a couple blocks away and found three copies of ORAS with case w/o manuals for $44.. as well as UM for $40. But then I clocked a copy of OR in the front of the store for $33 lose! When I checked the save file, it had 100 hours and 720 Pokémon in the Pokédex. It has a bunch of shiny Pokémon and a couple shiny box legendries for Gens 6 and 7.. some were obviously hacked but it was an amazing find nonetheless.
Correction Pokémon Green was released as Pokemon Blue in the west. The original Blue is the Japanese version that never came out of Japan. Also Black 2 and white 2 had 2 guaranteed shinies a shiny gible for black 2 of im correct and shiny dratini for white 2 and a shiny... Ononox? For both games I played white 2 in japanse, so i cant recall its english name
You've got it a little mixed up. Pokemon Green was never released in the West. Pokemon Blue (Japanese version) is what we got here in the States as Red and Blue.
I hope someone sees this. I opened up my Pokémon Gold game just for fun. The battery still works (but not really). All of my Pokémon sprites and stats were the same. Info was the same. But when I went to check on them with more detail, their image all got replaced by Dewgong’s. Moreover, when I went to check my Pokémon in the PC, they too were all replaced with max EV dewgong. Every dewgong has the same moveset: Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thunder 😂 Oh, and there was a very strange pocket Unknown (K) occupying the last slot of the last box. And it was playing some creepy music that was not original to the game. Bizarre times we’re living in.
Back when used Pokémon games for DS were a lot cheaper, we bought many used games to check for leftover Pokémon like this. I once found a shiny Ninetails (in SoulSilver).

One of the biggest shiny hunts is Mr.Mime that you trade for abra. At certain levels we know specific pokemons IVS to make them shiny. So you get a Level 50 abra and someone found the stat chart for shiny level 50 mr.mime and you do what you'd do in every game, hard reset until you get the one you want. but in this case you actually have to check stats EVERY SINGLE TIME. This works with any pokemon in the game but the fact that you'd have to check every IV, AFTER catching it makes only the Hard reset legendarys and trade pokemon even remotely worth it.

Went to 2 stores, the first one had CIB for Gen 6 and 7 titles but were all around $60-$65. They also had loose cartridges for those games plus the NDS titles, Gens 4 and 5 were $120+. Then went to another store a couple blocks away and found three copies of ORAS with case w/o manuals for $44.. as well as UM for $40. But then I clocked a copy of OR in the front of the store for $33 lose! When I checked the save file, it had 100 hours and 720 Pokémon in the Pokédex. It has a bunch of shiny Pokémon and a couple shiny box legendries for Gens 6 and 7.. some were obviously hacked but it was an amazing find nonetheless.
Pretty sure that the dragonair is the free one you get for defeating the battle tree, in the other game you get a gible in other you get dratini
*Tidus laugh junpscare*
the editing in this feels like 2017 but with modern memes LOL
Very entertaining, could watch these all day
My brother bought a random
Soul silver game at a convention and it contained the event spiky ear pichu!!! I was so hyped lol
Go and check if that pichu has surf right now, it might be from Pokémon box
LMAO great video bro. Imma sub
Had to give a thumbs up for the effort 😂
I appreciate you!
Correction Pokémon Green was released as Pokemon Blue in the west. The original Blue is the Japanese version that never came out of Japan. Also Black 2 and white 2 had 2 guaranteed shinies a shiny gible for black 2 of im correct and shiny dratini for white 2 and a shiny... Ononox? For both games I played white 2 in japanse, so i cant recall its english name
You've got it a little mixed up. Pokemon Green was never released in the West. Pokemon Blue (Japanese version) is what we got here in the States as Red and Blue.
At 11:23 Venusaur has the Pokerus symbol
Pretty neat find!
pokerus doesn't last for long though,a couple of heal ups and it will go away.
I hope someone sees this. I opened up my Pokémon Gold game just for fun. The battery still works (but not really). All of my Pokémon sprites and stats were the same. Info was the same. But when I went to check on them with more detail, their image all got replaced by Dewgong’s. Moreover, when I went to check my Pokémon in the PC, they too were all replaced with max EV dewgong. Every dewgong has the same moveset: Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thunder 😂
Oh, and there was a very strange pocket Unknown (K) occupying the last slot of the last box.
And it was playing some creepy music that was not original to the game. Bizarre times we’re living in.
glad im not the only one who didnt play black and white games, felt like they didnt fit into the franchise imo
@11:22 the little emoji on venasaur means it had pokerus
Wonder if the person who rage quit at the double battle will ever see this
Dude you just ignored the venusaur with pokerus thats crazy man
The shiny dragonair would have likely been the gift one
It's weird that the hgss saves didn't have shiny starters since their so easy to get
great video, keep up the good work
shiny dratini is gift afterdefeating Banjirou at Black Tower or White Treehollow btw.
Any true gamer took their best pokemon to the next gen with them
The Tidus laugh was well placed lol shout out to my ffx fans
4:12 ROYAL PEAR COLAB?
But you left SO MANY EGGS unhatched! You could be sitting on more shinies.
