Hey gamers, thanks for checking out the video. If you don't make it to the end, I explained that I haven't uploaded in a while because I'm moving and it's taken up a large amount of my time. Videos should be back to their "normal schedule" in the next week or so. A lot is going on right now in my life, and I'm doing my best to handle it all. Thank you again for your support
@@Troy_The_Boi pretty sure the whoosh is on you. Considering my statement was a sarcastic quip. I even mentioned Sudowoodo being a rock type to show how I already knew the joke
It's proof that the deadlines and what not that Nintendo and Pokemon put on gamefreak is killer. They were setting the games up to have huge amounts of content and then got rushed to push the games out. Pokemon doesn't need to be a yearly release. It would be so much better on a 2-3 year rotation. Honestly if they just did a rotation of Main series game, DLC, and a new let's go title. That's a 3 year rotation and gives every part a chance to be great and so much more polished.
@@armon9555 This is pokemon, there's so many spinoffs that every fan of the mainline series has to be interested by at least one, they don't need yearly releases. Second, yeah the games still have years of develpment. The issue is that the already small team has to work on multiple things at the same time, look at this current cycle, Pokemon Gen 8, Ultra Sun and Moon, and Let's Go were all had overlapping develpment times.
@@derekledden1358 yeah thats completely true. at the end of the day they are basically the exact same game. However there have been some more major differences like black city/white forest and also if you go to bell tower or swirl islands first. I can't think of any more examples though
@@ZimVerse I'm still pissed with that BS with got in Gen 8. That whole quest with Zygarde and the like should have been its own damn game. Not shoehorned into a game where it makes no sense.
@Jayden Kiser in your opinion,but in other people's opinion its cool,also literally everyone i meet hates/doesn't like charizard and i have met a ton of ppl,everyone keeps on saying its overrated but try and find someone who loves it
Gosh this really puts into perspective on how diverse the pokemon distribution is. Especially early game, Pokemon Y is one of my favorite games to Nuzlocke because of it.
A tip for the Legendary birds I learned. After the first encounter they are out into your Pokedex. You can check where they can be found and it says the current route they are one
I cant wait for Johnstone and Johnstone live to do a collab. "On this route I caught Trains, Wayward, Snake, Ronck, Ronck X, Fish, Fish 2, OOOO, SlowStone, YOUUUUU, SlugmaBallz, KEKW leon."
So glad to see this! I have a huge soft spot for Kalos, so I'm always glad to revisit it. Can't say I'm surprised to see Battle Chateau factoring in so heavily; that place is great
Yeah, I'm in the middle of evolving all the pokemon before the first gym and I'm already at almost 10 hours. I highly doubt I'm gonna be able to finish with less than 100 hours
I am well aware that I alone feel this way, but X and Y are my absolute favorite Pokémon games. The music, the atmosphere, and the new mechanics are so much fun
Gen 6 is probably going to be like Gen 5. People hated it, then the kids who grew up with them get older and want to replay them, sparking a new wave of popularity for the games and more people realizing how good the games are. Based on when that happened with Gen 5, I expect that to be starting soon with this Gen or have already started
Thank you very much for the shout out, John! Much appreciated. I need to pull my finger out for finally making my Sun/Moon guide in time for your next POC video 😱
*Thaaaaank you!* @3:32 last time you said how "useless" it was I was like, you can literally double *Lucky Egg* with it, so even _if_ you don't really like it there's always that! Not to mention _essentially_ putting the game in *Easy Mode* by using it in Gen 7. Lol, I'm just glad you acknowledged it... 😅
Thank you for the video. This almost makes me want to play X and Y again, they're my least favorite to replay, but it honestly feels decently straightforward for catching everything unlike SOS battling and Ultra Gates.
Poke Y is the only game i've collected a full living regional dex in, and loved the challenge. Even hunting those last few through wonder trade and the gts was decent enough, using breeding rejects from the maison. Put it down after getting that oval charm though, haven't quite been up to getting the shiny charm yet.
Man I really needed this today, Pokemon X Y are my favourite games of all time, and today was just a rough mental day and this really made me smile, thank you ^.^
"The only real attraction to [Pokemon Amie] is if you want to evolve Eevee into Sylveon" Spoken like someone who's never just barely won a battle bc your Pokemon loved you so much it that it survived an attack with 1 hp that otherwise would've been a KO
Technically, you can get more Pokémon to the National Dex through Friend Safari if you wanted to carry it on, but of course it relies on actual people having specific type safaris and what spawns in them. Nevertheless, an excellent POC as usual Johnstone! :) No one has more patience than you lol.
You forgot the friend safari. Sure it's random if you can actually get all of them, and you have to have like infinity friends, but there's still a decent amount of exclusive pokemon.
Please!!!! I am begging you to do this for Alola!!!!! The original or the ultra version, PLEASE!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Also, I love your videos, can't wait to see what comes next.😁😁
Seven generations down, one to go, good luck with Sun and Moon! Hope you end up doing Island Scan since oh lord, it's a pain. Hope you're doing well dude! Also, looks like you have my comments from my main channel hidden.
What the actual fuck, 105 hours for 422 Pokemon is amazing. I'm currently in Pearl postgame at 170 hours (and quite a bit to go) and I started the challenge in April 2019

Maybe the real joke was the counter jokes we made along the way
The section between Viola and Grant's Gyms feels like a completely separate game.
That’s pretty much X and Y in a nutshell. 1st and 2nd gym seems so much like a stretch

The "Charizard is the most unloved pokemon" joke really hits different in the calm, matter of fact tone of the main channel videos
Yeah ikr it makes it quite funny
He was not joking
And he said most unappreciated not. Ost unloved,altough it feels like everyone hates charizard
Yes he was joking it’s widely known that Charizard is overrated.
@@bewd4310 no,everyone says it is and then hates it cuz of that,everyone expect a few ppl,it is underrated in my opinion

Im still not used to Main Channel John being so competent when Twitch John is just constantly failing Nuzlockes :)
Same
FUCKING SAME THO
Editing guys editing
Exactly they're like two different people for me :')
so so many runs of pokemon sun
One of the things I liked about X/Y is that there's a lot of options for your team, even in the early game.
John on his main channel:
-Professional
-Has a serious UA-cam intro
-Knows alot about pokemon
John on his Twich channel:
-BIRD
-MONKY
-IM A GAMER GOD
Twitch John also has Slugma ball
Gamerstone on the loose as he loses a run with 3 megas to a castform and a staraptor
-HELLO CHAT
-AAAAAAAAAA NOOOOO oh. I thought it was a Regigigas.
Gosh this really puts into perspective on how diverse the pokemon distribution is. Especially early game, Pokemon Y is one of my favorite games to Nuzlocke because of it.
"You cannot trick the Trashcans" is my new favorite phrase.
A tip for the Legendary birds I learned. After the first encounter they are out into your Pokedex. You can check where they can be found and it says the current route they are one
They still rotate though just like in gen 3... at least they can't roar
Ah yes. The Gen 2 method.
After watching only his streams for the past few months, I forgot what John's "video voice" sounds like lmao
Lmao
I cant wait for Johnstone and Johnstone live to do a collab. "On this route I caught Trains, Wayward, Snake, Ronck, Ronck X, Fish, Fish 2, OOOO, SlowStone, YOUUUUU, SlugmaBallz, KEKW leon."
Don't forget Hot Mom
Pupy:) will always be my favourite nickname
@@jamescarrotcsl8 I agree, how could I forget Pupy:)
I love how emphatically John states “I am never doing this again” I hear the pain from the grueling sections in his voice!
Sadly we all know he's gonna eventually do this again.
I'm pretty sure he said that at the end of every professor Oak challenge
Ah, yes the “TALL” guy has returned once again.
Whoa... Tall...

The shedinja part in the evolution sequence made me laugh for some reason.
I was always fascinated by the sheer amount of Pokemon diversity in the Kalos region. Thanks for taking on XY, John!
Man, I missed your POCs. They are the main reason I subscribed to your channel. Glad to see another one from you, Mr. Stone :)
So glad to see this! I have a huge soft spot for Kalos, so I'm always glad to revisit it. Can't say I'm surprised to see Battle Chateau factoring in so heavily; that place is great

@@kirbyseibel2049 it’s been so long since he’s put out a main channel video I was not expecting it at first
Is it just me or does anyone else got a deja vu from watching the thumbnail? From the completing the pokedex I mean.
John: "it took me 102 hours, but that was a really bad time"
Me, about to fight the 5th gym with 95 hours already: "haha yeah, horrible"
Yeah, I'm in the middle of evolving all the pokemon before the first gym and I'm already at almost 10 hours. I highly doubt I'm gonna be able to finish with less than 100 hours
The Battle Chateau resulted in me going into the second gym with a level 60 team of six on my first playthrough of Pokemon Y.
Seriously, I loved the battle chateau
I am well aware that I alone feel this way, but X and Y are my absolute favorite Pokémon games. The music, the atmosphere, and the new mechanics are so much fun
Just wait a bit and people will say they like it. Happened with Black and White
Oh god I remember when everyone was saying it was the worst gen ever and now it’s the the best thing since stealth rocks
After gen 5, Kalos was what really rekindled my love of Pokemon. I'm still not a big fan of gen 5, but I do love gen 6.
Gen 6 is probably going to be like Gen 5. People hated it, then the kids who grew up with them get older and want to replay them, sparking a new wave of popularity for the games and more people realizing how good the games are.

Kalos is perfect and nobody can convince me otherwise
Thank you very much for the shout out, John! Much appreciated. I need to pull my finger out for finally making my Sun/Moon guide in time for your next POC video 😱
Just finished the livestream highlights, what a treat to have this right after
John's UA-cam channel is like his professional christian front whereas the Twitch channel is like his crack cocaine factory he does on the side
That’s exactly how to describe it
“Because Charizard is probably the least appreciated Pokémon in the series...”
Gamefreak: *Are you sure about that?*
wow hi 3 year old me. how’s 2021 going for you

I love how John explains what a Professor Oaks challenge is like we haven't all watched these videos over and over.
The first time I completed the pokedex fully was in Pokemon X, and so it's really cool to see this video. I must say it's so satisfying to finish :)

I'm convinced Johnstone and Johnstone Live are two different people. Live is so chaotic compared to regular
this man has ridiculous patience, i could never do this challenge
This challenge sounds like torture
He lost sun 47 times, of course he has patience
I never realized how many Pokémon are available in X and Y
I need a compliation of this guy reciting every pokemon in the national dex
Dude this is a amazing idea
A break from dying to the trainer school and their countless legendries how nice
How does that work i dont understan ;-;
I love watching John's live channel, it is weird to see him here not completely unhinged.
The awaited return of "Formal/Dayjob John"... Nice to hear you kept doing these POC along your endless streams
Perfect video to watch while full odds shiny hunting in Pokemon X
I remember that as a kid i would always go to the battle house, me and my mom spent hours there just grinding money xD
Poke Y is the only game i've collected a full living regional dex in, and loved the challenge. Even hunting those last few through wonder trade and the gts was decent enough, using breeding rejects from the maison.

He's probably been slogging through this challenge since his last POC
I remember your first ever professor oak's challenge. I'm glad you grew so well.
"The only real attraction to [Pokemon Amie] is if you want to evolve Eevee into Sylveon"
Spoken like someone who's never just barely won a battle bc your Pokemon loved you so much it that it survived an attack with 1 hp that otherwise would've been a KO
Yeah, cuz friendship is cheating. If he dies he dies
38:53 “There are a few that are virgin exclusives” beautiful misspeak, John
The intro for this and his live streams are astronomical
I just rewatched the Jhoto one wondering when this would be back! Keep up the great work man!
For when the Alola trainer school keeps beating you down, Professor Oak is always there to give you that sense of accomplishment OMEGALUL
I’m actually currently running this. At the section after the 7th badge. Battle Chateu makes it so much easier than most!
Technically, you can get more Pokémon to the National Dex through Friend Safari if you wanted to carry it on, but of course it relies on actual people having specific type safaris and what spawns in them. Nevertheless, an excellent POC as usual Johnstone! :) No one has more patience than you lol.

Can't wait til your next video: "HOW EASILY CAN YOU EAT AN ENTIRE GLAZED HAM"
Great video as always, John! I've been here since the original RBY Prof. Oak's challenge video, and I've admired your work every step of the way.
I *just* now found out about the over-evolution-level exp bonus. Thanks!
That's what we've been waiting for! (take your time I'm always happy to see any upload from you)
hey john , i tried this challenge in my Y cartridge, and i liked a lot in doing it.
I don’t know how this channel hasn’t gone viral yet these videos deserve millions of views
so, what Fossil did he take?
I've heard that asking that question is good for the UA-cam algorythm
I understood that reference.

Love the reference! Youngster bread approves
Every gym leader is gangster until Johnstone rolls up with 200 Pokémon
I’ve been watching the Live channel so much I was expecting “Hello chat!”
makes me appreciate the sheer amount of pokemon in x and y. Its honestly rom hack levels of diversity.
Can't wait for glazed ham
So mad UA-cam didn't recommend this to me earlier. I love these videos. Glad to see you back John!
"because Charizard is the least appreciated Pokemon in the series" made me spit out my drink laughing
I cant wait for this monumental amount of JOHNTENT
I caught a random shiny rioulu doing this
Hot-take: X and Y has the best regional dex of any Pokémon game, except for maybe Sw/Sh with DLC, and is honestly one of my favorite parts of the game
You forgot the friend safari. Sure it's random if you can actually get all of them, and you have to have like infinity friends, but there's still a decent amount of exclusive pokemon.
26:26 WAIT WHAT?! I never knew you could get that Pokémon that way in game and I wish I did prior to now
Anyone realize that all starter Pokémon basically demonstrate the saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”
AHHH I was binging his older ones and this one popped up! So happy!!

I like that you can get 422/457 (or 92% of the Kalos dex) in one game alone, with no trading. I like the amount of options it gives you.
this challenge sounds like wicked fun, is there a rules guide specifically for sword/shield?
Yes he even made a vid
