566 - The Wonder Trade Gauntlet: Completing the National Dex & Hitting Lv. 100 w/ ONLY Wonder Trade
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Here's something I've spent the past few months doing on stream (twitch.tv/absoltastic) in Pokemon Y, something I wanted to do back in 2015 but couldn't pull off back then: finishing the ENTIRE National Pokedex (721 Pokemon in Gen VI) and raising a Pokemon to lv. 100 off of Poke Miles using ONLY Wonder Trade!!! It's been a journey, and I hope this video somehow illustrates how much fun it's been. I can only hope to do something this much fun with this much interaction with others in the future.
Also, I uploaded the cursed Burger King cover and my clarinet cover of the wonder trade theme here: t.co/rB6QsVY0F...
I apologize in advance for the Burger King cover
I like it
Because the racist thing?

what do you mean apologize? we should be thanking you!
as a friend from Wondertrade skype calls, they really were the best nights
Oh hey nice to see you here!

I've watched this video like 4 times and every time I realize I'll never forgive chat for not choosing chungoose jr. as the champion.
*sadness ensues*
I literally had the same thought lol
I have a Swalot in sapphire called chungoose senior
Chungoose jr. was not a wonder trade, he was from a direct trade, so he probably didn’t qualify sadly.
He wasn’t level 1 I think
Only if chungoose jr was chosen to complete the trial and fulfill his destiny
he definitely would have won if he was level 1
@@prodfife of course he would he’s not disobedient
I know absolutely nothing about pokemon but around 34:00 where the remaining pokemon chart got condensed and it was mentioned that people were betting on which would be last, I happened to eye that purple yellow cat thing with the floppy arms and decided, for no reason, to put my vote on it. Which then ended up being the winner. So that's a surprisingly neat thing that happened lol. Very upset Chungoose Jr did not win the bracket for 100.
Put some respect on Meinshao's name

I’m halfway through the video, and honestly? Bringing everyone together in your community through Wonder Trading is one of the most sincere and lovely things ever. Who cares if some of them are hacked? It gave you an opportunity to interact with your community in a way that felt both important to you, and in a way that people could enjoy. Amazing stuff, Absol!
Def grip
I love this community so much it's very wholesome
( edit:spelt smthn wrong 😭)
I mean I clicked on this video thinking it was gonna be something impressive when it was really just a guy having his twitch chat hack in pokemon and spamming them into wondertrade for him to get. Pretty lame.
@@wizardsmix7961 so angwy
@@wizardsmix7961 how was this necessary, I thought this video was also going to be that but I'm not mad with the way it turned out. It's so sweet and it reminds me of the way the community used to be very united especially when these games first game out.
It weirdly made me get emotional sometimes the community is so vicious and we forget that the games are just about coming together and having fun, whether it's battling or trading. It's all about fun and everyone involved in this video had fun here.
This deserves so much more attention, this is a surprisingly heart-warming story. So many people coming together for something so stupid... it's strangely beautiful.
Bruh this comment had me dead😂
Same,it reminds me of being younger and wondertrading with my friends
If it was enough to unite a community, is it really so stupid? ;)
I'm so sad I missed this. I just started replaying OR and it broke my heart to see how dead the GTS and Wondertrades are compared to what they were in 2015. I really hope you do another wonder trade-related challenge in the future, because it really seems like you succeeded in bringing back the spirit of what it used to be, if not for just a little while.
I feel that... I remember when you looked at the bottom screen, the amount of people playing was just amazing
I miss the 3DS era...
BDSP wondertrade gauntlet coming soon!
Hearing myself in that video there, being quoted as "the man who did the dirty work" sounds epic. Thank you for letting me experience this fun adventure and getting to steal pokemon's hard earned ribbons. Was a blast
doing gods work
@@Meme-pg5tw Indeed, and it was pretty fun because I didn't always get him first try so others could get them. They were legit too minus cloning and ribbon removal
@@QuinPlaysGames Is there anyway you could help anyone else out with the mythicals?
@@MacHensley You need some? Let me know which ones you need and we can try and figure it out. It just has to has an event given out for it in the past
@@QuinPlaysGames Oh thank you so much. I need Meloetta, Keldeo, Victini, Manaphy, Yveltal, Xerneas, Zygarde, Jirachi, and Celebi. Sorry for such a long list. I just got my 3ds last year and only have alpha sapphire
"hey kid, your level one right?"
"yeah, why?"
"well here are some steroids, go fight everyone for me"
when i was younger I used to do a lot of trades in my omega ruby, and the day i found out pokemiles existed i had enough to buy 600+ rare candies
holy balls
holy pokeballs
woah :O
@Enoch Erhaze bruh theres no way
@Enoch Erhaze prove it or cap
This is my new favorite video, the walk to Burger King cover, the pbh, the PEPS, everything about it is ART
thank you!!!
What an amazing story!
agreed!
I feel like i know you

You might know him from how to spot the fake or the flashfire booster box
Frankly, the non-gaming footage in the Before the First Gym level 100 gauntlet is what kept me around this channel in the first place. Never doubt adding that content whenever possible.
This was the wackiest gauntlet idea you've ever come up with, definitely the most challenging and grueling yet. Awesome video Absol, I'm excited for another Kalos mini movie to watch in due time
The mix between aesthetic travel shots and Pokémon gameplay is absolutely amazing! Such a great video, and achievement so keep up the great work!
Ok but this challenge shows how well people can work together for a common goal and that's really nice
Also i remember back in like 2014-17 how people would routinely breed 5-6iv mons specifically to clear out wondertrade from route 1 catches
I remember that. I actually kept on doing something like it for a while. It wasn’t 5-6 IV breeded mons since I was too young to understand IVs at the time but I had the same goal of clearing out the route 1 catches.
I created a box filled entirely with rare legendaries and event Pokémon and wonder traded them off. I hope I made some difference.
@@sexycowman
godspeed you magnificent man
During Xmas after the release of SwSh I bred a bunch of starters and named them all after Christmas related things, I hope some kids getting the game that day were made happy :D
@@zoruasnivy
these stories are honestly inspiring me,
In the spirit of BDSP's upcoming release, I was thinking about breeding a bunch of Gible and trading them around Wonder Trade.
Hope I can make some people happy :)
Mienshao has been my favorite Pokémon since I started playing Pokémon in the 5th gen, so I’m so happy to see them get some recognition. God bless the Kung fu weasel
14:26 as much as I enjoy your content, the fact that you did that pained me.
Love the video besides that! Can't wait to see what you have in store next!!
Wonder trade is seriously one of my favorite additions to the Pokémon series. It's just so insanely ridiculous, once you get past the constant magikarps and fletchings. In the 3Ds games I'd enjoy wonder trading shinies! Especially in x, cuz I liked to see how many ppl would give a 'nice' in return (not many 😔)
ITS HERE!!!!
it was a blast being a part of this gauntlet, and reinvigorated my love of gen 6, and I hope that my armada of MR STINKs, and BIG STINKs spread across wondertrade for the rest of the 3ds’s lifespan.
Thank you Matt for this amazing Gauntlet!
Wow, this feels emotional.
@@smolse6854 it is, I bred over 100 Stunky during the gauntlet, and sent them across the gen 6 internet.
@@zzigzag286 your pfp is sus 😳
Pfp just ruined my favorite pokemon. Curse you.
I just wanna say that this brings back so many good memories of when I used to wonder trade for hours hoping I would get certain Pokémon. (I even got excited for shinies even though I knew they were hacked.)To bring a community together like this is something honestly so wonderful to witness.
I guess, this time, you could say WE raised this Pokemon to level 100 in an unconventional way or environment because, more or less, we're all crazy... What a great idea for a community effort this was, and a great video we got out of it! Glad I could be a small part in it (9:30), and thanks again for always making such fun videos and reminding me of everything I love about Pokemon.
Matt makes the most refreshing pokemon videos. It's casual (although tedious) and easy to relax to. Tiny snippets of his life outside games is also nice to see as it offers something new to see
That German Naruto opening was also what we originally got on TV here in Australia. So full of nostalgia for that bad boy.
Respect for shouting out James Tierlist. May he rest in S+ tier peace.
2:50 Man, the Phanpy language truly is incredible, all that meaning in just one cry
Yup.
I JUST FOUND OUT I HAVE GOTTEN A PHIONE FROM YOU WHILE WONDERTRADING WHAT
Great job btw
New challenge: Reach level 100 on a pokemon using the item duplication glitch from Japanese Diamond or Pearl (double battle, have a pokemon hold an mball and transform into enemy pokemon, then thief on it). You can only use exp from the battles, and you MUST end up with +1 mball after every battle, meaning no rare candy duping
exactly 1 year has passed and its still masterpiece
32:20 Beep Beep Lettuce has been my favorite joke ever for like the last 5 years, I cannot believe I would ever see graffiti of it in my lifetime. Anyways this video was so uplifting! I LOVED trading in 6th gen and seeing people like you still doing it, especially for a challenge, is totally awesome! Think you could bring back the trend of Wonder Trade Wednesdays? I also need more people to trade with in X and Y so I can shiny hunt in the friend safari since my game with over 50 friends got corrupted
Right?? I was shocked to see "beep beep lettuce" spraypainted there LOL.
I definitely plan on doing more throwback Wonder Trade streams in the future!!
I remember having an action replay device for my 3ds and i used it to create perfect IV shinies to wondertrade away
Those were fun times
"Murkrow disobedient run"
a certain lass in kanto: why do i have a sudden desire to go to kalos
I need you to understand how you and Dallas all your friends are literally the coolest and have done the UA-cam dream. You've made a good sized following with your friends by working hard and doing things entirely your way, so much respect.
You have no idea how big the grin on my face was when the trading started. Amazing video, might be my new favorite video of yours. Wish I could've participated with the trading madness, and congrats again!
YESSS ITS HERE. Also Im the dude that suggested the burger king song.
Very glad to have contributed several mons to this gauntlet (my most notable contribution being :) the whooper, of course). These were some of the first streams of yours I watched, and everything about them, from trading with the same people, to the cursed stream music, and silly nicknames, really made everything feel like some of the most fun I’ve had with others playing Pokémon in a very long time. I think that’s why I don’t mind if this challenge isn’t that much a grand feat or anything because the experience alone was worth more than that.
Thank you for hosting this silly gauntlet, can’t wait part two with #murkrow! (Even if I didn’t watch a lot of those streams due to being busy, seeing everything reach a conclusion will be satisfying in its own right.)
Your town is my hometown! I haven’t been back in several years due to family estrangement, so every time I see you show footage of the city and I recognize different stores and landmarks and places I miss, it makes me feel very happy and helps me with the loss of having to leave my community. Thank you Absol, it means more to me than you can ever know.
Glad to see Marco’s in F Tier. They’re our closest competing pizzeria and the owner is a jerk who steals from his servers’ tip jar
This is genuinely the greatest Pokémon UA-cam channel of all time. The amount of effort put into these videos is completely unreached by anyone else I’ve ever seen on UA-cam
I love your editing man! I love seeing the change as time goes on. From the footage of areas, like the trees, the Burger King, and the bush garden, to the actual footage, showing inside jokes, funny names, and even just fun interactions like the PBH. But I feel I can only end this comment with one thing.
PEPS
Watched this video while having a panic attack during the first time flying in 17 years and it helped a lot. Love your videos absol lol.
I'm happy that i was able to get a phione, help in the gauntlet and listen to almost AN HOUR (not really) of German Naruto opening lol 😂 thank you so much for bringing together this amazing community Absol !!
This was probably my favourite Gauntlet you've done, especially being a part of it during the streams! oh... and of course the Burger King cover... Well done Matt, amazing accomplishment!
The gauntlet was pretty impressive but getting Gusten to play something other than Gen 4 for a change was a miracle
I know no-one will see this but on the final day of servers I got a getmetomatt, sorry but this one won't get to you
I'm so happy I was able to catch one of these streams and be part of this gauntlet 👏💖
(btw nice surprise to hear Hamtaro Ham-Ham Heartbreak OST in your video 👌)
Yes!!!!! Hoped someone would recognize that. Love that game
ahh ham ham heartbreak was SUCH a good game, it gave me a wave of nostalgia to hear it again 🥺 glad to know there are others who played it and loved it as much as i did, bc its such an underrated game.
I got so excited when i heard the first second, that i instantly looked up if someone else said something about it!
Yo you guys watching Lupin III?? Based
Sure, Gen 6 is flawed in a lot of ways, but god damn if Wonder Trading isn’t one of my favorite features in any Pokémon game. Wonderlockes are always a great time, even if you’re basically guaranteed an inevitable Zigzagoon you’ll never use
Your videos always bring me nostalgia moments from past summers spent with friends trading and playing through fitfth and sixth gen! I love the fact that you include outside walks and trips with friends, plus the gauntlet was so fun!
the wonder trade is one of the most underrated elements of the pokemon series, and i feel like you did an amazing thing here. awesome video matt, and can’t wait for #murkrow disobedient run.
Watching two Kinglers fight IRL was the best part of this
my first time visiting your streams was through this challenge, and i can say without a doubt it was the best time i've ever had on anyone's stream ever :D so fun to see the whole thing come together!! here's to the next gauntlet!
I love how he isn’t just a gamer who doesn’t have a life and lives in his basement, he goes and sees the world while playing games
Man this makes me wanna go boot up Y and start doin some wonder trades...great video as always, glad you were able to finish the quest!
Also shoutouts to my boy Sunkern and his brief appearance at 1:37, he may have lost Who Goes Maractus but he won over our hearts
bruh the fennekin named Miles in this run is a triple pun
1. PokeMILES
2. MILES the Fox
3. MILES Prower meaning Miles per hour
"It's a little bit better than a 7 outta 10 to be honest" so are you saying the pbh is a 7.8/10?
I came here to see a wonder trade dex get made I didn’t come here to experience an emotional awakening
I've memorized the 100 Gauntlet intro speech by heart by now.
The Krusty Krab was a real place. There was one in some Middle Eastern country (I don't remember which one) but it is/was very much real.
I think subjecting a group of people to the german Naruto theme on loop is considered a war crime by the Geneva Convention.
I approve of this.
Now I know what I will play when I make my first Wonder Trades in Scarlet and Violet.
DUDE I love all of this! The details, the informative dialogue, the puns, the memes and most importantly, the memes. Oh and the history of doing something so SPECTACULAR! I love everything about this video, Matt! CONGRATS on completing the dex!!!
also hi my wife following your twitch at 34:38
This made me so nostalgic, the wondertrade music and the memory of going in voice chats with friends and counting down to try to wondertrade with each other...
The one dislike is from the person who didn’t walk to Burger King *smh*
Hey man, used to watch your gauntlets back in 2017 while I worked on projects. Glad to see you're still at it!
always! thanks for watching again
29:20 as someone who has had Marco's very frequently it's actually the bomb in terms of pizza, and I will not be taking this slander lightly
Eyyyy another Marco's enjoyer! I had it pretty frequently in the past and it was fantastic! Sadly, I no longer live near one, but when I did I would eat it all the time
@@captaindemozan2700 Yeah, I haven't had Marco's in a while, but it's still my favorite pizza chain ever.
"no rulez get phat", man that hit deep for me straight in the nostalgia. Still bitter at not getting a finger board with it and instead got a set of batteries...
The "Walk to Burger King" cover was just beautiful.
ive just discovered your channel , ive watched a few vidoes, i like them a lot! I like your hair in this one. (wow that reads like a message sent by an 8 year old and not a grad student XD)
edit: now that ive finished the vidoe: i loved the dolphins and crabs!!!
This is the craziest thing I’ve ever witnessed a poketuber do, how is this even possible??? Good stuff man
This video is 2 years old. I've seen this maybe 6 times now, and have attempted this multiple times as well since watching this. I absolutely LOVE this video SO MUCH- You are hands down my #1 favorite Pokémon content creator of all time. I reference the Burger King cover so much because of this too. Thank you for being an inspiration, and for making my day(s).
BRO YOU ACTUALLY SAW MY COMMENT- I'M SO HAPPY RN IDEK WHAT TO SAYYYYY! I LEGOT STARTED WATCHING UR 3DS SHUT-DOWN WONDER TRADE VID LOL. Thank you for making my day (again)
Fun fact: this video is 15 seconds shorter than his “Raising a Pokemon to Level 100 Using ONLY Pokemon Camp Pokemon?” video.
The peanut butter code card absolutely killed me
Wasn't able to catch the gauntlet, but the vods were great for background noise during the more quiter hours of working. Thanks for providing a great amount of entertainment and amazing job on condesing it all into 1 video.
I had to stop the video just 4 minutes in to say... How the fresh, silky balls did I never realise the Miles Prower/Per hour pun? You'se just shattered my mind and my childhood into pieces. Do you have any idea how many sleepless nights I had growing up wondering why he was called that? It was there all along...
Now why the fack is the rabbit called Cream? Seems kinda sus...
Your videos just grow on me so kindly, I genuinely feel so good watching them, I really hope the best for you, it has been amazing to accompany the growth and development of this channel and you as well. Kinda corny to say, though, it really makes me happy and appreciate life
Really appreciate that!!
Absol was able to collect 49,500 miles in around 36 hours, meaning this gauntlet moved at roughly 1375 miles per hour, which is nearly twice the speed of sound.
so happy i could contribute to this even if only with one pokémon🙏 gonna watch the full vid tomorrow ("tomorrow") bc it's Literally 4:30am rn but i already know this is going to be a baja blast👉😎👉
“Berg might? Perhaps…” is one of the funniest things I’ve read
I love it so much hahaha
I did a playthrough of XY recently where I just kept wondertrading until I got a good team and yes there are loads of trade bots still operating. I must have ran into the same one at least 3 times and they were all shiny legendaries at Level 100. It's kind of funny in a way.
Halfway through the vid, planning to watch it fully tonight and I gotta say, mad respect for you my man. I would get bored way too fast but this is making me want to do my surprise trade marathons in sword again, (I don’t stream I just do it from time to time when I’m bored) and honestly I’m just surprised that you even got as far as 500. Love seeing a community come together and honestly, I might try this in my shield version! If I do I’ll update this comment and update on progress over time!
I'm disappointed I didn't show up to any of the streams, this would've been so fun to participate in
Man i found your content through the reccomended a day ago and have been binge watching you. Keep up the amazing work dude.
It's always a blast just sitting down and watching your vids. And to see you bring people from your community to just hang out and have fun playing pokemon, really put a smile on my face. Keep doing what you're doing Mr.Absol, you truly are an amazing content creator.
You said the Miles the Fox thing, it took a couple seconds for it to click, I sighed really hard and took a break from the video
HOLY CRAP THE SONG AT 23:47 GAVE ME SO MUCH MEMORIES I CANT BELIEVE YOU MENTIONED HAM HAM HEARTBREAK
stuff rarely ever makes me happy anymore and this did! Thank you so much
I was so happy to watch this whole thing unfold. Sadly, I couldn't participate, but still was a sight to behold.
30:00 how is Pokémon go so looooww
15:08 my baby pizza!! This was such an awesome idea and I'm so glad to have been a part of it!! Keep up the good work!
I found your channel through this video, and I’m definitely subbing. This was such a cool story, and you seem like a super cool guy
Hey fren I think you need to update your pfp 😭
Being here to witness all this trading happen was truly a magical feeling, and to see the final dex entry was on another level entirely. Love to see it Matt.Now all that's left to be said is, "a"
This is so nostalgic. when 3DS online services go down, I’ll be devastated
I'm sure just like the original DS/Wii, the homebrew scene will find a new way to keep it alive!
this video was completely captivating to me and actually pushed me to subscribe. love your content, going to try and pop into a stream some time. good video man.
Thank you!!
Watching this interesting video was pleasantly surprised to see my home city make an appearance in the burgerking cover. Keep up the good work.
22:21 "(I do not pronounce GIF this way btw)" you earned a sub
This video is so bittersweet coming back to now that 3DS online services have shut down
Yay, a Gen 6 video! For all its flaws, it's really one of my favourite generations because of features like Wonder Trade and the PSS. It really felt connected to the broader online community in a way that I hadn't experienced before then in a Pokemon game. I love this gauntlet concept so much!
gosh i love this video so much. a random video that popped up on my UA-cam home page years back, i would've never known what I'd get into. this channel and these videos are just amazing.
i rewatch this video AT LEAST once a month or two, to remember how the heck i got here. now i do my best not to miss a week of lore
watch the ultra moon one to test your absoltastic lore knowledge
@@CinnaBox I have. 3 times already lmao. TheSupremeRK9's comment on that video is why I included that last line.
