What a great haul!!! Super jelly on all the pokemon games but glad you were able to build up a good collection. I want to visit Japan and do some exploring of the major cities, but also drag my gf through every pokemon related thing I can find LOL
Nearly had a heart attack when you mentioned the word "Platinum". I am a HUGE LOVER of the fourth Gen games. Absolutely adored Platinum. It was a special game to me. I'm not going to mention Platinum, but SOME of those games MUST be utilized for Shiny hunting, or I will be offended. I must encourage you to play XD. That's up to you, but it's an amazing game. Won't press the XD game any farther. At least think about it. Most of this was posted before the video even ended. I would ask for a single Japanese card, even if it's a God-awful common card. I love Japan's back card art. I don't know what it is...
Any recommendations on places to look for in-box Pokémon games or handheld consoles? Heading to Japan next month and would love to come back with a haul like yours 😭
Honestly it was pretty tough to find good deals, but check out Hardoffs and other second hand shops. Some of my best finds were a ways outside of Tokyo.
Got 5 pokemon games not in the box off eBay for 98 and lowkey that was a deal in of itself but this is something else. Can’t wait to eventually go to Japan and get more stuff
Where in Japan did you get these? I'm trying to do research before going, but my search engine thinks l mean cards. ¥1000-3000 is absolutely unheard of in my country. The least l find them for are $20-40, and some of those are repros. I just saw a loose Pearl for like $50 at my local retro game store today, which is way too much.
Honestly I got them all over the place. Prices on Japanese games in general are wayyy more reasonable almost anywhere you go. The only place I'd avoid buying at is Akihabara since you're getting the foreigner tax over there haha. Besides that though, almost any used game shop will have great deals. Surugaya, Bookoff, Hardoff, etc. all had great prices and there are tons more one off shops you'll find similar deals at!
Sorry, could I just check how much you paid for Gale of Darkness? I'm also interested in picking up some Gamecube controllers, where did you think the best place for that was? I'm very jealous of your Club Nintendo controller!! And which Nintendo store would you recommend for choice of items? Looking forward to more of your videos of your time in Japan!
Looking at the prices I had for these it was actually 3850 yen for XD and 2500 for Colosseum. As far as Gamecube controllers go, I didn't really see any regular ones around, just the more expensive cooler ones unfortunately. For Nintendo Stores, I'd just say whatever one is close to where you'll be, they all pretty much had the same stuff. The Kyoto one has a cool photo op spot and the queue system so you won't be shoulder to shoulder with folks, but you'll want to get there a bit earlier to get your ticket, then walk around and check out some other spots while you wait. Good luck and enjoy!
@@CalmAndCollecting Thanks for the pricing. I was wondering how much I should drop on XD, given the pricing in the US. As for which Nintendo store...I'll actually be going to Kyoto, Osaka AND Tokyo so wasn't sure which was best but I think I'll just see where we have the most time to fit it in. That's interesting about Gamecube controllers. I guess if I'm going to get one, it may aswell be a special edition! Thanks for taking the time to reply. :)
Anything on the 3ds IS region locked! While the DS/GBA era are NOT region locked. You can also play a japanese DS game on a non-Japanese 3ds. Installing homebrew to bypass the region lock is not hard. @@rogeliogonzalezjr7066
I feel you, I had a red DS with Pokemon Diamond (THAT HAD MY ONLY SHINY EVER. RIP shiny Buizel) that got stolen on the bus. I grew up pretty poor and that was a Christmas present that meant a lot to me. F*ck thieves.
I love how julissa went all in on Chikorita! Great haul bro. Can't wait to do this myself one day
She definitely would've went even harder on the Chikorita stuff if they had more haha.
Wow this haul was so fun to watch. So many great buys!!
Yeah, super happy with the haul!
I’m so jealous. I’d love to go over there! So awesome my friend!
Was definitely a great time! Hopefully you get to go sometime!

Japanese cards just hit different . And I definitely plan on doing some hunts in Gen 4
@@CalmAndCollecting Either Gen 3 or 4 would be sufficient, before S/V, Platinum was my absolute favorite game.
45:50 (in all seriousness i hope japan was a blast!)
It was a great time haha
Love the video and your Japanese collections. Also, I love the Zelda t-shirt. You have lots of cool stuff. Hope you are doing well my friend
Doing very well! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Kool stuff.
I really want to go to Japan one day and buy a whole bunch of neat things
It's a good time! Hotels and stuff aren't actually too expensive either!
W collection+W person=W video
You a real one
I’m not use to calm doing vids but I love this
Great video Calm and love all the new ways for you to shiny hunt.
Yep, now I just have to beat all of these games
And I get to enjoy watching on stream when they show up

Are the Pokémon games region locked? Do I have to own a Japanese DS to play the games?
Nope, they're all region free!
@@CalmAndCollectingawesome! Thank you! I’m going to Japan soon and I’ve never owned ultra SM and BW2 so I’m on the hunt for those.
Anything on the 3ds IS region locked! While the DS/GBA era are NOT region locked. You can also play a japanese DS game on a non-Japanese 3ds. Installing homebrew to bypass the region lock is not hard. @@rogeliogonzalezjr7066
One question, do you play it Japanese game or just collected?
I've been shiny hunting with them on stream! Come hang out some time and see!
Dang, missed the Premier 'cause I was at school, but that's some cool stuff!
No biggie! School is more important (unfortunately)
Are those clear cases from the store or did you buy them?
I bought all of those after the fact. They're all from RetroProtection and they're really nice! They have Japanese/English sizes for most games.
Yooo im a megaman battle network fan also, nice founds
Glad there's a few of us out there still
How did you list all this on the declaration form??
Clickbait! You actually bought ALL OF Japan!
Not quite, but I'm going back for the rest sometime
What’s your favorite Pokémon? Mines Pikachu!
Ditto for sure!
What store is that?
goo gone for that sticker brother
If you ever wanna remove stickers use a blow dryer and heat up the sticker.
I feel you, I had a red DS with Pokemon Diamond (THAT HAD MY ONLY SHINY EVER. RIP shiny Buizel) that got stolen on the bus. I grew up pretty poor and that was a Christmas present that meant a lot to me. F*ck thieves.
Where you live again I need to repo them toys lol 😅 there awesome Calm
Wouldn't you like to know haha
@@CalmAndCollecting lol that's some Awesome stuff. My pokemon museum is turning out to be great
Yo what a stream
Glad you enjoyed seeing the haul!
