I Completed Pokemon Emerald's RIDICULOUS Pokedex

Shoutout to John's sister supporting him destroying his save file

That Shiny Horsea holding Dragon Scale was absolutely mental. You should've gone and bought some Powerball lottery tickets after that.

I actually have that English event Mew they gave out on September 30, 2006. It took a ton of begging to convince my parents to drive me down, since the Toys R Us was on the other side of town, but I got to battle other kids and pick some cool merch they were giving out too. As a result I've got all 151 on my Leaf Green. I am SO GLAD I never bothered with a national dex. Dear god. I had most of the stuff you needed, but damn. Little tidbit, I remember I traded a Trapinch to the event staff for the Mew. I wass like, "I'm okay with giving this one away, it sucks!" And the guy who was working it was like, "You should try training one!" And that was how I was introduced to the greatness that is Flygon. Good video, dude,

the biggest challenge is this is getting all of these LEGALLY

There was something incredibly foreboding about seeing that he had finished the story of the game six minutes in

3:58 "Why would you ever want a Horsea?" 27:18 "Kingdra is probably my second favorite Pokémon ever" bruh

It only cost 150+ hours, $1450, and Interviewer Gabby's will to live.

The absolute state of retro gaming

For the record I did this over like 2 years, idk how you managed over 2 weeks. Great stuff!

i'm consistently SO glad that big youtubers like you talk about how much of a money and time sink pokemon can be. this is absurd, oh my god.

As a young child at the time of Gen 3s release, it was crazy to me that "gotta catch em all" was a thing in Pokemon and that some people had achieved it. Only at a much later date did I learn this was MUCH easier to accomplish before Gen 3 (and after, thanks to the introduction of WiFi), and Gen 3 is just ridiculously impossible for any normal child.

I’ve completed the National Dex for every generation 4-8, but I’m NEVER completing a Gen 3 National Dex or my bank account will never recover 😂

"My boyfriend is this Mightyena." Good Job John.

That shiny horsea with the dragon scale was insane. And that bit at the end. "Go home." I think I died laughing 🤣

This is a super big accomplishment, doing a Gen 3 full living dex without any glitches (besides having to ACE inject the event items as that's unavoidable now) like Emerald's Battle Tower dupe for infinite master balls / rare candies or Colo's infinite ball trick is quite a task! It was nice getting to catch quite a lot of this live while out with sickness, congrats on getting the video out! <3

i am still yet to complete a single pokédex and this guy is lapping me like ten times over

The fact you didn’t use the infinite master ball glitch for late game colosseum is crazy, I’m so sorry for your loss

4:30 Just like how Greek tragedies are forgotten about in modern times, it seems that the tragedy of Jerma's debt has also been lost to the sands of time.

The sister just replying "that was a bad hack" took me out lmao idk why I found that part so funny.
