About my previous KZread channels: My apologies for leaving suddenly (had gaming and skateboarding channels). (Also I just go by Chris now) I was caught up in personal things I was going through. I really appreciate anyone who supported me, though 🤝

congrats!
great video!!
If you have any questions, I’d be glad to answer them! Feel free to subscribe for more Pokémon content, I have fun projects in the works 🌟
Succinct and to the point. Thanks for the video!
Dude what a great way to do a shiny video. I love it. liked, subbed.
Hey, I really appreciate that! Thanks for the support 🤝
Which pokeball recommends for this magikarp? 🤔 I think could be a honor ball for this one
I think that’d be great with it!
Love this! The personal growth was touching :*)
Thank you so much! I hope things are awesome for you 😄
Nice video I can't wait to hunt heatran in brilliant diamond 💎 def one of my fav legendary.
Thanks so much! So awesome, I hope you find it quickly when you do ✨ I just got Brilliant Diamond recently, having fun playing through it
I love how your exploring while playing it looks like it would be so much fun
Thanks so much, I really enjoyed it! I’m thinking of more ways to combine nature and Pokémon
The video was definitely so cool and chill to watch , i was hunting and watching your video for 50' and damn its was chill , gg for this shiny
I really appreciate that! So awesome to read this comment. By the way, I love the Rainbow Wing profile photo! 👏
INSANE trainer ID on your leafgreen!
I was in disbelief when I got it! It’s awesome to have some shinies on it now too. Thanks for the comment!
You're for sure making me want to go grab some console or older game and start shiny hunting in there! Still haven't watched all of it but it's a cool thing you decided to take such steps to start getting out of your comfort zone, either it is related with playing video games or something else. We do tend to care a bit too much about what others may think of us, even when most of the time we have more to lose than to gain by doing so. Best of luck finding your own path, I'll be at the sideline cheering for you to keep you motivated during this marathon! 🫰😎
I really enjoy it! My first completed full odds shiny hunt was Treecko in Sapphire, so I’m partial to the older games and consoles I really appreciate the support! 🤝 So true. It’s often unnecessary, and there’s more to lose by doing it. It takes practice to let go, but I’m finding it rewarding to take steps in that direction Thanks for the thoughtful, supportive comment! It means a lot. Best of luck on your adventures too!
Awesome to see content from you again man, hope you’ve been good!
Thanks a ton man! I’ve been having fun playing Pokémon and creating content again. I hope you’ve been well too! I’ve had my ups and downs but living more intuitively and letting go is helping noticeably
This style of content really suits you man! Happy to see you embracing yourself and your interests again 🙌
I really appreciate that dude! I’m doing my best to bring in my other passions too 🥾
this takes an insane amount of dedication! very good!!!!
Thank you so much for the support!! It was a fun quest!
OMG! Its so wonderful to see another hunter with such a love for nature, bird watching and the outdoors! I loved recognizing the birds in this video and hearing you point them out too! I found your content recently and I am just enamoured with the way you talk and how you organize your videos! Can't wait to see more <3
Thank you so much! 😊 It’s awesome to hear you enjoy those things too! I’m grateful for the peaceful, beautiful experiences I’ve had outdoors. The support means a ton, thanks for the amazing, thoughtful comment!
Getting so many cozy and peaceful vibes from this video! ❤ It's so lovely seeing someone step out of their comfort zone and do what they love, regardless of how others would see it. Best of luck on your shiny hunts and looking forward to more content!
Thank you so much! The support means a lot 😃 It’s getting easier as I practice it more. Just keeping in mind how important it is to be myself. Thanks again!
this was such a peaceful video. really proud of how hard you're trying to improve yourself. keep doing your best! (also, I happened to be your 200th subscriber. Congrats!! 🎉)
Thanks so much! I’m practicing taking small (but important) steps. So cool you were the 200th subscriber, thanks for your support! 😄
Great video!
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
im your first sub
That’s so awesome, I really appreciate it!
Good hunting man I’m rooting for you glad your improving keep up the good work
Thanks, I really appreciate that! Doing my best each day
This was a great video, you've made a lot of progress since I last heard from you so many years ago - and like you, I've recently done some things way out of my comfort zone myself. Since 2014 I've also attended a monthly group event where about 10-15 people play 3DS/Switch games in a public food court, and we're all used to gaming in public by now. Your video has almost inspired me to make a similar type of video myself!
Thanks, I really appreciate that! It can be hard for me to recognize progress since it’s often so gradual, so this is awesome to hear. Really cool about the monthly group event! 👏 Sounds like a win-win. Maybe I’ll see if there’s something similar near me. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you’ve been well!
Really inspiring video I have so much Paranoia when I’m outside but you showed how important and relaxing it can actually be sometimes thanks for an amazing video!!😊
I’m so glad to hear you found it inspiring! Thanks so much for the support! I really appreciate you sharing that too. What helps me is taking small (but important), intuitive steps. And sometimes it takes me years to let go of certain things. And that’s okay; I do when I’m ready. I wish you the absolute best, and thanks for the thoughtful comment!
This video is just what I needed☺ I love the laid back, cozy vibe your shiny videos have.
I’m glad you liked it 😄 Thanks so much for the support!
Very cozy video. Its so hot outside where i live so going outside is not fun lol
I really appreciate that! And I get that for sure, it’s very hot for me too. I’m glad I completed the challenge when I did 😅
This video is so peaceful! I’m glad you’re gaining confidence! 😊
Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it! I’m so glad I decided to start walking/hiking more often in 2018 🥾
Hopefully this helps! You can link other Nintendo accounts to other profiles/users if you want. (Like if two people share a console.) First log in with the profile with relevant Home data, then swap to the profile with game save data (if it’s not the one with your main save file data, don’t link any Nintendo account to it)
Hmm, didn’t notice a profile option in home, wonder if that’s new. Wish they wouldn’t make things so confusing, like getting raids in SV without a paid account through mystery gift.
Good point, maybe it’s new! For real, it’s too confusing, with the accounts, profiles, primary/secondary consoles, etc. Raids too. From what I understand, a paid membership is needed to join others’ raids, and there are requirement for unlocking solo 7-star Mystery Gift ones (which they could make more clear in the game)
I did manip my own shiny mudkip which was 10000 advances in unfortunately and as far as i know every odd is pesudo random and frame dependant based on your trainer id and secret id. so as far as i know the chances is random for everyone. is it different for the jap version?
Awesome you got the Mudkip! It’s the same for the Japanese Version, with shiny frames at different times based on the TID and SID
Keep it up bro
Personally I think its cheating and doesnt feel right but i think we share the same opinion on letting people do what they want
I understand that perspective too. It did feel a bit too easy to get tons of Rare Candies. I’ve pretty much stuck to cloning resources for Emerald (except for backup Master Balls and shiny Smeargle). I appreciate you commenting and sharing your thoughts!
i found this channel through the ponyta hunt i miss those days
Really cool to see where the name came from! The first mention of shinies I can find is in the gold and silver complete Pokédex issue of gold and silver. They don’t call them shinies but do mention the existence of them.
Thanks, I really appreciate the comment! That’s interesting about that mentioning them too, I’d love to check that out. I remember the FRLG guidebook showed a few shinies like Oddish, Psyduck, and Ponyta (but called them ‘alternate colored’ or something like that)
And people don’t even realize it’s still REALLY lucky to even get a shiny doing a challenge like this at full odds at least. Congrats on the free shiny since u already wanted to do the challenge but still congrats
Definitely! I was very lucky to find it in under 9 hours. It was an added bonus since I wasn’t directly going for one. I appreciate the comment!
This vid didn’t help me at all but I wish I saw it before I found my first two emerald shiny starters Bc one moron said the battery needs to be working so I thought I wasted time doing srs on my Japanese copy but I ended up getting a shiny on that dry battery copy literally a day before my birthday recently
I’m glad you found the shiny starters eventually! Which ones did you find? Sounds like great timing with the one on the Emerald with the dry battery too ⭐️ Also to be fair to the other person, shiny hunting in Emerald is more complicated than other games (they were probably thinking of Ruby/Sapphire)
@@shinycollector7 right I get what ur saying about the dry battery situation and also I got female mudkip and a male torchik both in copies of emerald but one was on a dead battery copy but I don’t think that affects anything shiny hunting wise
I got many lucky eggs on my SoulSilver and HeartGold, I would like to trade some lucky eggs to my Diamond/Pearl and Platinum.
Good idea to trade some over! Opposite for me, I have quite a few on my D/P. They’re so useful. I appreciate the comment!
Sweet, and you did it in the Japanese version too which is perfect b/c I just bought one on eBay 😂 I completely can relate with the internal conflict with what doesn't feel right in games. But like you I'm begining to value time more. Plus it's a single player game anyway. Lastly too many times in the past I'd just PKHex items in. Lately I've found it more fun restricting myself to anymore PC usage for Pokemon. Great video!
Yeah, I refuse to clone myself, but I completely understand people who do it. It's a smart little way to save time on grinding that the developers overlooked. I say go buck wild with it
I respect whatever approach people take with it 🤝 It definitely is. I was able to level up Pokémon very quickly. I really appreciate the comment!
Never knew how to do the glitch. This was useful!
I’m glad to hear! The glitch saves so much time. Thanks for the comment!
Sucks you can't clone mythicals. I would have done this with Deoxys.
You know, I think it does actually work on mythicals! But you just can’t enter them at the desk before the reset (I can’t test it yet due to planning to shiny hunt Mew lol)
@shinycollector7 It would definitely be cool if it did. I'm just worried about time since I need 4 shiny Deoxys because we don't know when Bank will shut down.
@@pokemonfreak6669 For sure. I completely get that! I plan to hunt Deoxys this year too in FR/LG (reclaim of one I found in 2012)
Glad KZread recommended this to me, felt like an early Poketubing video from 2008~. Subbed, I like your style!
I really appreciate that! 🤝 I must have kept my style from when I used to create Pokémon content. (I’m impressed by the current style people have, but it’s foreign to me.) Thanks for subscribing too!
the box full of surskits is so funny to me
Isn’t it great? 😅 I had a full box of them on a previous Sapphire file
omg your handwriting is actually very nice
Thank you so much!
👍
I really appreciate it! I hope your gaming adventures are going well!
@@shinycollector7 👍👍
I encountered the uncatchable zigzagoon I’m using a stopwatch and got it at 34.22 seconds I started sr around 34 seconds again but only keep encountering the shiny zigzagoon but you said to wait 2 seconds after from when i encountered zigzagoon so im gonna go ahead and try 36 seconds
I’ve heard the starter’s frame is 2.35-2.38 seconds away from Zigzagoon, so I think you’ll have success waiting 36.6 seconds or close to that. Best of luck! 🍀 And thank you for subscribing!
@@shinycollector7Bro I just got off of work turned my GameBoy on and not even kidding 16 minutes into the hunt of trying to hit that frame I got shiny mudkip ✨✨✨thanks for the tips !!
@@greenbxstxrd_9588 That’s incredible to hear! Congrats!! I’m glad the tips helped! There’s something special about Gen 3 shiny starters 🌟
Good video man. Really enjoyed it bro.
I’m psyched to hear that! Thanks so much for the support 🤝
