198 - Pokemon Ruby 10th Anniversary! Absol Solo Run Documentary 

i’ve been following you for about a year or two now, and i watch this video everytime i’m working on something or just need to cool off. i love your documentaries, but this one has to be my favorite. you’re a real inspiration and the reason why i started to shinyhunt in the first place! so thank you for that, matt!

I watched this video a few years ago and wanted to rewatch it but I couldn’t find it. After watching all of the Lv 100 gauntlets I wondered if this guy is the Absol solo run guy and he was! Love the videos keep it up.

And here we are in 2021, just two years away from its 20 year anniversary. How time flies...

Oh man, back when i had emerald the only random shiny i got was a whismur! Wish i still had mine because it meant so much too me so its really cool to see you get one in gen 3 too! OH NO IT ROARED I'M SO SORRY!

I love going through all of Matt’s older videos! Timeless

Thanks so much! Yeah, that's my 3rd casualty when it comes to shinies, after a Flaafy in Gold that I thought was a virus (I was young lol) and a Spinda where I had no Pokeballs.

Man! This video had everything I was promised! Absol, a blog about the trip to the Robotics competition, and... POKEMON!!! Loved watching this one. These are always such fun adventures to enjoy watching. Always appreciate the efforts of Umbrella 10 years ago!

10,875 people have now seen that guy fail to blow a bubble

0:13 The journey of the Storyteller AbsolBlogsPokemon begins!

You're my inspiration, bro.. I have this black gameboy sp, but my Pokémon leaf green cartridge got busted.. I missed my blastoise and zapdos.. I might as well start a solo run myself, with a shiny butterfree like you.. I just need to buy a cartridge though 😅 All in all, i love your channel, and i love how you make a blog about playing Pokémon!! I'm a huge fan!! Keep being awesome!! 😎💕

Matt you should make a playlist with all of these types of documentaries. I would love to see all of them

Rewatching this classic, the background at 29:34 triggered a visceral response. If only we knew what that song would turn into....

Route 113 is my favourite route too, there are so many amazing locations in Hoenn along with it, can't wait to revisit it in 3D tomorrow. Awesome video though, it was really interesting to see you play Ruby as you were also traveling in real life and the entire video was well put together and planned out. Getting me even more hyped for OR AS lol Can't believe you lost that shiny too, that sucks :(

10 year anniversary of a, at the time, 10 year anniversary of a game. This is crazy

With a couple of sword dances this run would have been easier, tho

This is certified classic, youve come so far as a creator and as a person Matt! Keep up the good work!

I've been bedridden from a bad cold and started binge watching your videos while playing the new Pokémon game. I came to this video and randomly see an FRC bot! I had no idea you did robotics! I was on 245 from Michigan and Ultimate Ascent was by far my favorite FRC game. I do not miss having to dance to Cotton-Eye-Joe in order to win the spirit award though lol

this video is so nostalgic of the old days of pokémon, like pre gen 6 era

The fact that this is 11 years old now makes me feel SO OLD

I love this channel so much omg, it's so good. RIP that shiny though. Its so lucky and unlucky at the same time haha XD

This has been so fun to watch while playing RSE, great background while I triple hunt 5% Relicanth

I found a shiny uncatchable poochie recently cause i was hunting for a cute torchic

The Zelda 25th anniversary music was a great choice, especially when it synced up with you beating Brawly!

Loving all your visa dude , super entertaining !!

20 Years now...

Being excited about 16 gigs back in the day lol 16 gig hype!

Its almost the 10 year aniversary of the 10 year aniversary🎉

keep it up I cant tell you how much i enjoyed this

My man Absol started the only ____ trend yewww

This is such a gem

nostalgia over here

I hope we can get a virtual console release of the Hoenn games on switch this year, with the 20th anniversary just two months away, it would be amazing to see even a mini movie to see how much changed between this and now

My first shiny ever was a Poochyena but I was so sad because it was on the way to battle May for the first time - at that point, you don’t get pokeballs until after the fight. It’s been a long road to getting my golden boy again..

Playing Pokémon to the Zelda theme. Like a Bawwwsss!

Its 17 now, its legally old enough to drive

I used a Skarmory in my first sapphire playthrough Skarmory is my favorite Pokémon ever it’s so cool

13:40 too much water 7.8/10

I actually started with gold when it came out! I'm 18.

It's like the Maril skit at 32:12 came straight out of a pokemon go advertisement. Except, you know, this came out years before pokemon go.

I have a question, what music is that at 9:06? I’ve heard it in a couple of your videos and it’s so good. Also this might be one of my favorites of your movies!

Jesus, this is 8 years old now.

I'm currently playing through Ruby using only Zigzagoon and Linoone, and only ever using items I received via pickup (except tms/hms and the very first pokeball). Took quite a while to even start, because I really wanted to find a shiny Zigzagoon to have on my team.

nice vid your awesome

OOOOHHHHH MMMMM

Will you be doing a 20 year anniversary for it as well?

Nice

How many cameos is Monarch gonna make?

yes

Where were you going in this video?

In the manga the orbs are the other color for controlling the legendarys

I started on Ruby. It was on an emulator

I am your 350th subscriber I think

Which one is better

Ooh you should level a Pokémon up to level 100 before fighting May for the first time

My second favourite pokemon is actually avail and in any game u could get it in I would use it

We’re you on a field trip?

Also how dose torchic use scratch it has no arms

So sad 4 u lost that shiny.

Lol "we just beat the champion... In the middle of a seafood restaurant"

8:09 why the heck are you on a bus?

This has been so fun to watch while playing RSE, great background while I triple hunt 5% Relicanth
