Happy holidays, y'all c: i'm so happy I was able to get this video out before the end of the year!! This badge quest has consumed my life this past year and I'm so happy to have finished it! Be on the lookout for a generation 8 video essay in 2025!! I have MANY thoughts that I thought about sharing here, but I'd rather make a whole separate video! Thank you for watching this video and all my videos this year! I am looking forward to 2025-- have a safe holiday season, and see you in the new year!!! :D
There’s literally nothing better than UA-camrs taking a year of their life to make a video. It’s the commitment I love. Shiny hunters are the backbone of the Pokemon community.
The Shield Badge Quest Arlie era was SO iconic. Absolutely loved watching your luck swing from crazy insane-o lucky to double odds. Congrats on the SUPER cool team! The ride was a blast!
So the reason Piers isn't a fan of Dynamaxing is the fact their stadium is the only one that didn't get built over a den. In fact, the reason their town is so run down is because they have little to no tourism to their town. The people of the town decided to add the stadium to themselves so they could get some tourism but had to turn their whole town into the gym challenge since they didn't have the funding to actually build a stadium. Marnie's whole reason for taking on the challenge is to bring more popularity to her town and team yell are trying to hinder other challengers to help Marnie come out on top. Literally the entire towns people are doing their best to bring attention to their little town because it wasn't built over a natural dynamax spot, and they've had to compensate so their town doesn't end up off the map.
@@lunac24 This. I clearly read this in the game. It caught me off guard when she said that we don't know why Piers doesn't like dynamax. I was like, the game tells you
You said it best yourself: a lot can happen in a year. I joined this community during the start of this badge quest and what a ride it has been so far. Happy holidays and thanks for all the great streams and memorable moments!!
There is actually a reason why Piers doesn't like Dynamaxing! On the back of Piers' normal League Card it states: "Spikemuth lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to Dynamax, and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his younger sister will take over as Gym Leader." On the back of his rare League Card it states: "Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of Pokémon battles. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!"
What a crazy badge quest!! Sword and Shield are my favourite games, so it was amazing watching a badge quest done right, with such a nice personal touch to it. This has really made me want to dust off my full odds badge quest again! Congrats on all the shinies!
10:55 I mean the badge quest did end in November so past Arlie was almost right! But jokes aside, I came across your channel during the Chewtle hunt and have enjoyed watching you and your channel grow ever since, so keep it up!
The badge quest was so much fun to watch over the last year, glad I discovered you just as you started it. It was actually weird seeing your room look so bare and empty in the video from when you first moved to Cali. Also Down Bad Crying in the Glim best song 2024.
This quest was so iconic! Glad you put Sword and Shield in the spotlight, I think it's a seriously underrated game to shiny hunt in!!! Also, glad I could provide some sauce for the Milcery hunt!
Congratulations once again on beating this badge quest! It’s making me sentimental of when I first started watching the streams seeing this! Can’t wait for the Pokemon Sword badge quest!
THE SHIELD BADGE QUEST VIDEO IS REEEAAAALL! Seeing you do the badge quest on a short like 6 months ago inspired me to do my own in sword with…. Varying results.
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HOP. IF THERE'S NO HOP DEFENDERS I AM DEAD. I was so excited to hear you say what you did for him, as I 100% agree-I genuinely wished there was a story option where if you lost to him in the final battle he could actually become champion then battle (and hopefully win against) Leon. I wanted that so bad for him. I'm literally just here to catch pokemon that are a slightly different color, I don't need to be the champion of the region! Let my boy have this!! And even if he beats you in the final battle in Slumbering Weald he just basically goes "I know you're holding back on me" MAYBE I'M NOT!!! TAKE THE W!!
i only knew of and tuned into these streams during the second half of this badge quest, but it was so fun anticipating the rest of the shinies and embracing the chaos with the rest of the chatroom. thanks for all of the fun throughout 2024- here's to even more in 2025 🎉
I came across your channel just before you started hunting for Milcery and it's so amazing to see this video finally come out. Congratulations and awesome work!!
Although I joined streams pretty late during the middle of the Snom hunt, I felt like I was there for the whole journey! It was so fun being there anticipating the rest of the shines and joining in on the chaos and good vibes throughout the hunts. Thanks for a wonderful 2024, here's to an even better 2025!
I love how your reactions sound like someone is driving a truck through your front room 😆 Congrats! Finishing a badge quest is so rewarding, and you did pretty great overall with odds!
The dedication a badge quest requires is absolutely insane. I like shiny hunting, and I’ve done a few full odds hunts, but I would lose my mind if I tried doing a badge quest. All those phases for Milcery, going nearly double odds for Stunfisk and Snom, and especially hitting 5 digits for Phantump… Nothing but respect for completing this badge quest
We did it! Congrats Arlie! Badge quest streams were one of my favorite parts of this year. So many emotions, both good and bad. It is a miracle you made this video under an hour
i loved this video so much, i’ve been so excited for it based on the lil progress previews i saw via youtube community posts and im so glad it’s here! such a fun way to end the year, happy holidays c: ♥️
I'm so glad I started watching your streams this year. They're so enjoyable and this badge quest was such a blast to watch over 2024. Can't wait to see what new videos and stream ideas you'll have in store for 2025! (With hopefully no more scotch eggs...)
With all its faults, sword and shield will always be my top 2 pokemon game just behind emerald (gameplay wise probably above but emerald has my heart for nostalgia) and I’m so happy you released this. Happy holidays!
Loved watching the streams as you attempted this, congrats on beating this and looking forward to the content for next year! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Thank you Arlie. I've been hunting the rarest Shiny Voltorb that could ever exist, and I happened to find it while watching this video. You have blessed me.
I totally forgot about ArlBlonde era! crazy how time flies and how much progress you made over the course of the badge quest, keep up the great work Arlie 😍
Great video and great run! 613 for wooloo is nutty considering I gave up after like 4000 encouners that were boosted. I look forward to future content! Have a great holiday season!
I can't wait till you make it massive on here Arlie. Your content is so good! I'm so glad I found out about you. All the love to you this holiday season
I love this game😊 replayed it in early 2024 especially fun When playing the dlc at the same time as the main story!😂 i was Very satisfied with my team aswell! I think the art style is beautiful and i love dynamax
I hate that I wasn’t able to tune into the streams for this in the last months of it. It was great for studying to have your streams going in the background. This video is gonna be great I can tell.
I can’t believe it’s here!!! I wasn’t there for the whole ride but for the time I was there it was a freakin blast. Thank you for your dedication and hard work to bring us amazing content and creating a wholesome community I’m proud to be apart of ❤
Unfortunately wasn't able to catch much of the final stretch live but the moments I did manage to watch were some fun times. I commend the resilience and godlike patience you had throughout this run lol.
also doing my first ever shiny badgelocke myself. And seeing your numbers, my 1920 encounters don’t seem that bad, but also, the infamous suitcase cutscene… 😭
God i remember my shield BQ... Can't believe it was more than 2 years ago That party was my favourite party I've ever had in a pokemon game,Took me a year to finish it😂

The journey was enjoyable to watch sad kind of over but also excited that it’s completed
Did you get the Shiny Rayquaza, Arlie?
To another year of watching your content
Nice hair
not the Snom reaction being less eventful than the reaction to a certain fat bear-shaped rock LOL
i think snom is my favorite reaction ever LOL
There’s literally nothing better than UA-camrs taking a year of their life to make a video. It’s the commitment I love. Shiny hunters are the backbone of the Pokemon community.
You did it Arlie. I don't know how but you did it. You caught the one single flawless Gen 8 shiny team. Only S tier choices. Incredible.
The milcery trampoline has to be my favorite use of an in-game sprite ever. It’s just so satisfying.
The Shield Badge Quest Arlie era was SO iconic. Absolutely loved watching your luck swing from crazy insane-o lucky to double odds.
Congrats on the SUPER cool team! The ride was a blast!

Moral of the story is: Arlie has horrendous shiny luck and that’s why we love her! 😂
This quest was so iconic! Glad you put Sword and Shield in the spotlight, I think it's a seriously underrated game to shiny hunt in!!! Also, glad I could provide some sauce for the Milcery hunt!
43:00 That's because the adults in this region are actually responsible and don't just let 10 year olds into dangerous situations.
That was fun, to watch all those moments again 😋 Kinda crazy that everything took a year 🤭 Such a cool video! 😄💜
Congratulations once again on beating this badge quest! It’s making me sentimental of when I first started watching the streams seeing this! Can’t wait for the Pokemon Sword badge quest!
THE SHIELD BADGE QUEST VIDEO IS REEEAAAALL!
Seeing you do the badge quest on a short like 6 months ago inspired me to do my own in sword with…. Varying results.
What a legendary saga! The video quality is lowkey amazing, can't wait to see what you do next year!

We did it! What a fun journey we had - well done for persevering and not giving up 🥳
You inspired me to start my badge quest, 2081 encounters into rookidee, hoping for under odds🤞(great vid btw)
THE BROSEIDON SAUCE NEVER FAILS!!! also shout out to depresso! what a wild journey, huge congrats on the epic gamer team!!!
Cannot fathom the dedication and patience needed to do something like this. Super impressive!

“I got bangs”
Truly the biggest development this year lol
It killed me for no reason😭

Congrats on all the shinies! Remembered the stream getting Pumpkaboo last year was crazy.
What an incredible journey this was! Can't wait for the next year+ long shiny hunt challenge 🙃
shiny scotch egg and shiny wurmple sax were my greatest creations truly /j
I'll never forget everyone hearing the Kid's Bop version of WAP. (Wings and Pizza) Amazing.

What do you mean people don’t like Chewtle?!? One of the goats of Galar, truly peak turtle!!!
@@gr3atscotty of course people don’t like it. I don’t know what to expect anymore.
Chewtle is just a little guy 🙂
@THGMR-ox7sdfaith in humanity lost with this revelation, what can I say?
Congratulations with finishing this video and the challenge!! Can't wait to watch this video and happy holidays.

Thank you Arlie. I've been hunting the rarest Shiny Voltorb that could ever exist, and I happened to find it while watching this video. You have blessed me.
I remember when the badge quest first started. What a journey it was. The streams were so fun to watch and the video is so well made.
Finally the toad singing moment sees the light of day...
I totally forgot about ArlBlonde era! crazy how time flies and how much progress you made over the course of the badge quest, keep up the great work Arlie 😍

Hi partyarlie, this it my first video I’ve seen of you, and love it. I was wondering what is the rules with the quest?
I hate that I wasn’t able to tune into the streams for this in the last months of it. It was great for studying to have your streams going in the background. This video is gonna be great I can tell.
“The Shoes!? The Loafers with the Swim Trunks!?”

Squirted cream😂😂
