Honestly surprised by how fast you can get a Ghost pokemon in some of these games. Always thought that they were more "late-game" than others. Anyway, great video as always!

It's probably mostly because in the first 3 gens, they were so super rare. And rarity, because of ice or dragon, tends to be thought of as "late-game". In gen 1, Ghost is mostly associated with the pokémon tower, which usually is done after gym 4 and aside from hat tower, only E4 Agatha uses them. In Johto, aside from the new crystal locations at 5% (which you might not know without a guide), Gastly is *only* found in sprout tower and tin tower, a location accessible way later. And well, Misdreavus is on mt. silver. So here, sprout tower and the crystal locations are super early, otherwise ghost types are near-inaccessible. In Hoenn, if you discount Sableye and the Shedinja evolution, ghosts appear in Mt. Pyre, a location accessed after gym 6. After that, ghost became less of a special typing and thus they got more ubiquitous, but earlier, ghosts indeed tended to be super rare.

Update: Thanks to @snowyarticuno for catching (lol) that I made a blunder in sword and shield as you can find non-overleved ghosts in the suitably spooky Watchtower Ruins (as well as North Lake Miloch). Apologies for that mistake everyone! I suppose the run counts for the DLC for whatever that amounts to. XD Happy Halloween everyone!!! I had this idea planned ever since we started the pokemon challenges so it was really exciting to finish it. :) I really tried to take what I learned from the previous lost mystery video and apply it to our runs and I would love to know what you all think! Thanks so much for all the support as always and I hope this one adds to your spooky season. 👻

I absolutely love ghost type Pokémon. Unfortunate that they chose for Agatha to be a ghost type trainer when there were a grand total of 3 ghost Pokémon in that generation, all of which are from the same evolution line too…

@youtube-kit9450

They actually chose the 4 types with the fewest pokémon in the game, and gave those types to the Elite four. Hence why Dragon (3 pokémon) is given to Lance, thus he has 3 of the same line. Why Ghost (3 pokémon) is given to Agatha, same situation. Bruno has fighting (yes, 8 is actually the 3rd lowest number of pokémon of a single type in RBY, with thought-to-be-rare types like fire having 12 and electric having 9... Only 2 Hitmons, 3 Machop line, Poliwrath, Mankey and Primeape)... which ofc still makes his two Onix stupid. And Lorelei having Ice (5 pokés), which technically could give a whole team, but since one is legendary, Slowbro's there.

I love ghost type so much, I'm so excited for this

Gen 1: Gengar line Gen 2: Only Misdreavus Gen 3: Shedinja, Sableye, Dusclops line, Banette line Yup, 10 ghosts total in 3 gens. That's fewer ghost types actually than e.g. fire types (a type thought to be rather rare) in gen 1 alone. It's so little that despite gen 4 only introducing 8 ghost types (which isn't *that* much), it still nearly doubled the available ghost types because of how few there were.

That's enough ghosts to haunt you for the rest of your life! Nice work finding them all!

Another semaJ challenge video let's gooooo I think it would be cool challenge to see how long can you get your first pseudo-legendary in each game.

You can actually lock onto the Gimmighoul chest and throw your Pokeball at it near the lighthouse (:

I've been playing all pokemon games with ghosts only, so this was really fun to revisit and check. For gen 1 I ended up glitching a gengar encounter with the trainerfly/mew glitch. Funny enough I did it differently per version. For Pokemon Blue I fainted from poison damage in the spot where the last trainer of Viridian Forest sees you, then fought the rival and lost to his Squirtle before going to Viridian Forest and getting my Gengar. For Pokemon Yellow I went to Pewter City, bought a escape rope and rested at the Center there, then did trainer fly on the second to last trainer in Viridian Forest, fought and lost to the Digglet of the trainer in Brock's Gym, healed at the Center, and went back to Viridian Forest to get my Gengar. And yeah, for Gen 3 Sableye is definitely the fastest, unless you're playing Ruby, where you have only Shedinja until Mt. Pyre. Also since you didn't mention it. For Colosseum the one and only you can catch is Misdreavus, rather early on after just 4 battles For XD you need to play the game for quite a bit, since you don't get your first ghost (Duskull) until Cipher takes over the ONBS.

Good job! You have truly saved us all. It is interesting to see the thought process and explore different option, not just the results and as always, you do a good job at that. Although whenever I see these types of videos, I really think black/white vs. black2/white2 should be considered their own games, because they really are completely different. Some follow ups are just remakes with new gimmicks or added things but if red/blue/yellow are considered different from the let's go games, the same logic should apply to 5th generation.

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed! That is a great point as well. I think the reason I avoided it here (especially here) is that the final result is so similar that it is a bit anti-climactic in terms of the story telling I aim for! It is a great thing to keep in mind though and could certainly be worth considering in the future or for specific runs (for a fun addition potentially). :)

Hey there's ghost types you can catch in the wild area. For some reason, while the over world spawns are over the level catching cap, you can actually catch the Pokemon that appear in the "!" tall grass encounters. I looked on serebii and found that Golett and Drifloon are available early on. So going to the DLC areas isnt required, and is actually slower

I was so damn tired and put this on for the perfect snooze. Not to say it’s boring rather it was just extremely calming and interesting. Started on dragon and woke up on this stay balling ❤

Oh spooky video I so scared I can’t even sleep at night because of this video 😨

As someone who is part of the way through a Ghost mono of the entire Pokemon series, this video will be quite helpful for those that i can't hack one in.

I thought you said EVERY Pokémon game? What happened to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Pokémon Ranger, Pokémon Go, Pokémon Masters EX, and Pokémon Conquest? >:D I'm just teasing, this was a fun video! ^^

You never said glitches or exploits weren’t allowed, so… in Gen 1, Yellow is actually the way to go! If you’ve ever pulled off the Mew Glitch, the start of it can be pulled off in Viridian Forest with an Escape Rope on one of three trainers in there. After this, purposefully faint to the Light Year Trainer’s Diglet…. Then walk back into Viridian after blacking out. You’ll get into a battle with a Level 7 Gengar… or if you use Growl on the Diglet 6 times, you can find a Level 1 Gengar that you can then immediately boost to Level 100 if you earn under a certain amount of XP with said Level 1 in a battle.

Never heard of an erratic experience group. :/ That explains why its such a pain to level prior to gen 6

It's okay, I brought fresh popcorn and really, *really* old candy! lol

Ghastly seriously only has a 5% encounter rate on that route in Crystal?? I played this game like 20+ times back in the days and to me it often seemed they had more like a 50% encounter rate...

You can get the ghost faster in the og games. Grab a pokedoll at the shopping center. And it by passes the game corner. You use the pokedoll instead of the silph scope

My favourite ghost type is Dusknoir along with the Sableye. Purely for the role they play in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon! While my love for Pokémon has faded unfortunately, this is still a good video and I enjoyed it.

I wonder why Squirtle is the play over Bulbasaur, both grass and water are 4x effective against Brock, and it means you wouldn't need to catch the paras to use cut

I has to hide under my comforter with a MagLite to watch this one! 😱

I like how they said due to an oversight which is a highlight in this run. Blud the whole game is an oversight 😂

I think it’s astonishing that the Unova sequels are the faster option despite Pokestar Studios

Gen 1 you can catch a ganger before the first gym it's a glitch but u can do it.

You mentioned the lucky crit on starmie, but zippy zap always crits.

Yeah drifloon is caught super early in arceus. Forgot about that

I think a neat challenge would be seeing how fast you can get a Psuedo in each game. Mainly for RSE and Unova since it'd be interesting which Psuedo is faster to get between Bagon or Beldum (RSE) and Deino (either BW or B2W2 whichever is faster) or Metang (B2W2)

For Sword & Shield, wouldn't it have been faster to set it to March 1 or October 1, then go to the Wild Area's Watchtower Ruins? There's a Gastly & Duskull that spawn in Cloudy (March 1) or Rainy (October 1) and it's not blocked off. The only caveat is you have to wait out an ! to pop out of the grass, but while all the visible Pokemon are in the 20s all the Pokemon through the "hidden" method are in our level range.
