I vividly remember this being such an important part of my morning routine during high school. I had the Semi Clear Green N64 and had the stadium games, two controllers, two game packs and RBY and silver versions. I was old enough to understand that stadium 2 gave you a daily mystery gift and realized how awesome it was. I remember waking up 20 minutes earlier than usual on school mornings just so that I could run downstairs, grab a pack of S’mores Poptarts, run back to my room, boot up the N64 and do the mystery gift event. It took less than 3 minutes and after I got to fawn over whatever thing I got, I gleefully went and got ready for school.
Im severely impressed at how Gamefreak could create the most convoluted and pointless systems but couldn't be bothered with properly scaling the difficulty on the latter part of the game. No doubt Iwata had to intervene during development.
I'm more impressed by how far they have fallen, like how do you go to stuff like everything from first gen to black and white 2 all the way down to how bad Scarlett and Violet are lol
Pokémon Stadium in particular is very impressive. There are so many hidden and specific, yet very detailed animations accompanied with fitting sound effects that many people haven't seen yet. It's actually nuts, considering this is the very first generation and their first 3D title
@@gatordragon6140part of it is that the games nowadays are much larger, and they are insisting on keeping a schedule for releasing new games, meaning they are forced to rush That said, I’m pretty sure they have a larger team working in it compared to back them, so it’s not much of an excuse
Yes, I did it. But please don't spam it here folks. I love that you try to spread the word, but it must be pretty annoying reading my name in the comment section over and over again. On a sidenote: One can NEVER truly complete a Pokémon game. People can always argue that you still need to catch EVERY Pokémon in its shiny form with perfect DVs/IVs etc. It's mathematically impossible to complete those games. Thats why I call my video series "The MOST perfect savestate", as I think true perfection is just not possible.
The editing is just astonishing and I had no idea generation two mystery gift was this deep. I never could had figured it out in my youth and did not know the doll collection went that deep. Lucky for me I still have my collection plus action replay with a data dumper so if I wanted to I could obtain those items :)
I wish they brought back in a newer gen the save money from mom feature where after certain milestones she buys exclusive decorations and items for you in the game.
So I did all the things in Pokemon gold. Just not the useless decorations and trade, time machine gimmicks. But still happy to know they exist with that measly drop rate.

It's funny. I used to Mystery Gift every morning with my friend and school and spent a minimum of six months doing that every morning with her. So I remember owning both the Big Snorlax and Surfing Pikachu dolls in my bedroom in Gold version. I also owned Onix too, but wasn't a big fan of it, so didn't have it displayed. I think one berry was extremely rare with Mystery Gift as well and I ended up with two of them.
Wow, you guys actually uploaded a video! Glad to see that you went over how the Pikachu Bed, Tentacool Doll, and Unown Doll are impossible to be obtained, especially since this was discovered very recently.
I'm glad to see you guys made a full length video. I discovered you through shorts and I'm never dissapointed, even if it's info about Pokemon I knew before, you guys somehow manage to either squeeze in info I didn't know or make it so properly entertaining that I enjoy rewatching it :)
Man I miss how hard things were to obtain in these games, made it all the more worth it. Instead, we get everything handed to us . Thanks for this stroll down nostalgia lane, love the long videos.
Did you guys know about the pikachu pocket color. Which granted mystery gifts to your pkmn gold. Which was insane at the time. It used the laser function. Which was almost never used on the gameboy.
@@d0ubleslap Pikachu pocket was suprisingly fun. It had a step counter and the pikachu sprite was awesome. I remember spending days shaking the device to get more steps.
Wow, I had the Clefairy poster and I thought it was pretty rare since most of the time we got dolls. Also, after you use Mystery Gift then your opponent in the Viridian Battle House will be the trainer you interacted with (instead of Cal)
I actually had a room in Crystal once with the silver and gold trophies. To me beating both Stadium 1 and 2 showed I was a true Pokemon Master and not just an Elite 4 champion, anyone can do that.
@@deranged781 Hell yeah I remember it being so hard to beat round 1 of the original game using rentals. I don't know when I got the message that I would never beat Round 2 without a brought in team.
Clicked on this by chance, and was really pleasantly surprised. Clear and to the point with the information, good editing and surprisingly indepth for a 7 minute video. Subbed!
I love your Shorts, and was happy to find out you made a full-length video! I hope to see more in the future. This was such in-depth and well researched coverage.
The Stadium 2 dolls are actually in Pokemon Channel and can be bought in Shop n Squirtle, including the Unown Doll...at least it's available easily in that game!
I wonder how they handled this in the 3DS ports of Silver, Gold and Crystal, however knowing Game Freak they probably did nothing that made nearly all of them unobtainable.
believe it or not the 3ds has an ir sensor that works with mystery gift but without any stadium compatibility the rarest items are from those titles are unobtainable still 😩
@@d0ubleslapWow, I knew the 3ds had an ir sensor but it surprised me that they'd even put in the effort. Do you do it with two 3ds copies, or is it possible to use a 3ds copy and a Gameboy copy? Apologies if that's a weird question
Personally, I beg to differ. Someone, somewhere, under the radar, managed to get every single thing within Pokemon GSC, and never told anyone about it because no one must ever know. Personally, for Pokemon games, I think that a Pokedex completion is more than enough for 100%. As for Legends: Arceus, I'm pretty sure I need to perfect every single Pokedex entry as well as completing all the quests. Including the Mythical quests... The only thing I'm missing for the mythical quests is Sword and Shield save data to unlock access to Shaymin. Sure, I already transferred one from BDSP, but there is certain criteria for Pokemon HOME to complete every single Pokedex in that thing, so... yeah. _Can you tell that I'm completely insane?_
I legitimately had the Tentacool doll back in the day courtesy of Pokemon Stadium 2. (It also got me the Surfing Pikachu doll). I was admittedly using the PAL UK version, which did come out later than the others.
I used to do mystery gifts with people at school all the time in gen 2. The Lapras Doll was one of the first things a friend and I got. I wouldn't have ever guessed it was considered very rare.
Wow, you can actually see at 6:53, what game is running on the TV screen, which depending on the console is either Super Mario 64, Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. or Kirby. It's actually nuts, that they went the extra mile for that.

It’s not full of filler in fact it’s very snappy and efficient, it could do with ebbing a flowing a little as I was expecting the video to stop after each section. Once you’ve got the pacing down this will be one of the best channels for Pokémon no doubt!
I think you guys have just got so good with brevity and speaking quickly lol which is great because everyone hates people who drone on and stretch out videos. But I do feel you guys can calm down the pacing and let the viewer wind down with the video
Haha yeah we've already discussed this at length, and as our first vid we were just thinking of packing in as much content in as possible to keep people engaged regardless of the length, but we totally agree it's a different style of video we need to master
Now I'm super curious how the time machine held items are programmed. Cause that has to be some kind of weird look up sheet in GSC if Stadium of all things has this unique interaction.
It’s possible to obtain every decoration in Gen II without Stadium or Mystery Gift by ACE with the coin case and Bellsprout’s cry. But you can only unlock one decoration at a time so doing it takes an eternity
My sister had Silver and I had Crystal. The mystery gift was basically our daily routine. I did have a lot of decoration items, including the ones that the mother buys, but I don't think I ever had all of them. I loved the big Snorlax plushie. I don't think I ever had the Onix. Or if so I didn't like it enough to ever display it. I vaguely remember the big Lapras though. I might have only had that during one playthrough.
Wow I played a ton of Gen 2 had no idea there were more dolls than the ones mom buys. I remember getting Mystery Gift unlocked but never tried doing it with my brother and cousins.

What like generation 2 events where you had to literally convince your parents to travel to New York City from the Midwest... To get a Pokemon...
remember, the azure flute was deemed "too complicated" to be released
We need a middle ground. I don't want mythical just given to me. I want stories with them and to get to catch them!
i don’t like getting handed op stuff, but i ALSO don’t like having to beg my parents to fly to florida for a piece of data.
These aren't hard to get, they are completely randomized or for the trophies completely fucking insane.

The rate NOT improving due to duplicates would drive me up a wall.

Every lunchtime in highschool...i had gold and my friend had silver and we would do mystery gift every day😂😂😂😂
Oh dang, I got the Lapras doll and didn't know how special it was at the time.
I used a GameShark as a kid. Only way I was really seeing these lol
Great video.
I never knew Pokemon was so complicated
My sister had Silver and I had Crystal. The mystery gift was basically our daily routine.

Or if so I didn't like it enough to ever display it. I vaguely remember the big Lapras though. I might have only had that during one playthrough.
This game is the origin of the big Labras doll?
The Big Labras or Snorlax seems real popular among E-girls basically
Only ever pokedex I did complete as a kid, good old trade back with link cables
Wow I played a ton of Gen 2 had no idea there were more dolls than the ones mom buys. I remember getting Mystery Gift unlocked but never tried doing it with my brother and cousins.
Any chance of even more long form videos?
I had no clue this game was this deep. It was intended to be the last Pokemon. I stopped playing after gen 2.
damn i never thought to trade them to gen 2 dang that would have been a gorgeous box
I swear I remember having an Unknown doll in Pokemon silver on the desk.
There was a kind of tamagochi pikachu in a mini gameboy called pokemon pikachu that could IR mystery gift with gen 2 games
You could get the other stuff with a copy of Pokemon Stadium 2. The game has an NPC that will do the mystery gift with you.
I just want that Snorlax doll.
You are so cute together as a couple.
Funny enough i had the Big lapras decoration when i was a kid in the 90's or early 2000 😂 i just found out that is something rare to get
