"Oh no. Ohh no." is genuinely one of the calmest reactions to a fail I've seen. The dramatic reading had me fuckin sobbing though, absolutely incredible. Congrats on the reclaim!! It looks so good in gen3...
Bruh, you've got to respect the fact that A.) Absol's patience is so incredible that he doesn't instantly rage out when that Regirock faints, and B.) Instead of taking that stupid comment seriously, he makes a whole joke about it in a video, but not in a nasty way. These are among many reasons I have mad respect for Absol.
*Ya'll are tripping.* - 03:41 That dramatic fall was absolutely hilarious. Not to mention Paint the Smeargle's contribution to all of this... Cracked me up good 🤣
I'm definitely using that pathetic meme edit every chance I get Also Bold is -Atk + Def which is not great for Reginald, you might've been thinking Impish (-Sp.Atk +Def)
I remember watching the reclaim Regi live and to see you finally get it was so satisfying! It was my first time dropping by to your stream and was definitely a memorable moment.
This is the most chill reaction to what anyone else would see as a devastating mistake. I've only started watching your videos recently but I'm loving the channel. Also, btw, BlueBoyPhin is who brought to this channel!
I watch this once a month and every single time it’s so entertaining and incredible. I love that when you failed it you didn’t get super mad or freak out, just typical chill Matt
I saw that crit coming as soon as I saw that it dropped into the health where a crit would kill it. R.I.P. shiny regirock. Also, congrats on the shiny.
I had an Emerald file with a really quick shiny frame before I knew about Emeralds RNG. I failed Registeel and Regice like 5 times collectively lmao they kept struggling :( congratulations on your reclaim!
Congrats! I really like your enthusiasm for 3rd gen. Pokemon and how you show shiny ones on your Gamecube games. As a completely random and personal remark: you look almost exactly like a Matt I knew in academia who was one of the most impulsively egotistical, disrespectful, dishonest, try-hard smart alecks, that I had ever met. So, to see you being both the recipient of unprovoked rudeness and one who can so graciously and lightheartedly respond to such makes your personality all the more admirable to me~
What a lousy A .. to call you pathetic! He's probably some 13 year old child who catches every Pokemon with his cheated master balls and shows off to any kindergarten children. It's absolutely impossible how he handled you, but the better you handled it! Keep it up! I'll watch your videos over and over again - you have the best ideas and challenges! ☆ Greetings from Germany :)
Congrats on the reclaim, Matt. May this day forever live in our hearts as the day shiny hunters tore victory from the internet trolls. Did you want a bronze or gold statue erected in your honour?
I just got a shiny Charizard in let's go Pikachu! I was hunting Growlithe, when I saw sparkles in the sky. I was hoping it was a Charizard, and it was! It wasn't full odds because I had the shiny charm and I had been catch comboing Growlithe, but it was still cool. I plan on getting another one to keep in sw and sh. I might hunt it on my shield badge quest.
I also got a shiny Regirock recently in Shield after 8287 encounters. And since i am very anxious about failing shinies, i came fully prepared with nuzzle, false swipe and switcheroo-Leppa berry. I also calculated the damage of other moves to weaken it (even with crits etc), since false swipe is weak and resisted. It paid of, i caught it succesfully and i'm now a proud owner of a giant piece of chocolate cake.
What i love about the Regis is that approx pokemon RSE sold 35 million units, if only half the people got to the regis there are literally millions of legitimate shiny regis either encountered or captured.
Soon, as the ancient texts foretold, the three sparkly Reginalds will finally be reunited by the "crazy" one whom does the "pinnacle of power" gauntlets.
I failed a shiny full odds lugia in oras and while I wasn't able to reclaim that one specifically, it did motivate me to hunt in shield through dynamax adventures (even caught it in a love ball, which I had to get 2 off by starting different files and trading them up to the main one so even if the odds were higher cause of the shiny charm I had to WORK to reclaim that Lugia)
I've only failed 5 shinies. Reset over a Xurkitree, ran out pokeballs on a Ho-oh, forgot about the support trainer on a Chansey, couldn't get to the Spearow in time, and Azelf ran out of pps
Dude. That Twitter user was SO rude!! You do anything if you put your mind to it my dude! Much love amigo! May the RNG-eus Shiny upon you! Good luck on your Hunts my dude!
Awesome hunt, missed the initial fail but was there for the reclaim on stream. I actually have a question about the run always version of this hunt in emerald, I have a live battery emerald and should I be saving after doing the encounters or no? I'm just over 4000 encounters now but just unsure of what I'm doing is correct.
Congrats on the reclaim. I'm trying out my first 1/8192 hunt in platinum by hunting Giratina. I'm about 14k in. never know when it will shine. Update: Got the Giratina May 28th, 2021. took about 56k encounters. It got me to see the fun in full odds.
It's always cool to see people try a 1/8192 hunt. People always say they don't have time to do full odds, and my argument against that is always: if you got time to hunt at all (non full odds), you got time to full odds hunt. I always keep a mindset of "if I don't have a lot of time to hunt" which is sometimes the case, then I'll just chip away at it until it finally shines. Sure, a good amount of the time it'll take you weeks or months, but it'll feel real accomplishing, especially after a long hunt. Anyway, good luck on the Giratina
I think at this point I've gotten most of the shinnies that can appear on kanto's route 7 because i just got shiny abra. I'm going to evolve it into alakazam at some point, but for now I'm going to take a break from hunting growlithe and hunt ponyta/rapidash instead.
I just failed my own Shiny Regirock in Ultra Moon in possibly the most painful way possible. I accidentally reset over the Shiny. My muscle memory kicked in before my eyes did. And the worst part? I spent over a week hunting it. It was my longest Legendary hunt, and I screwed it up. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet. I’ll try again.
This gave me an idea: Level 100 Gauntlet from only legendary Pokémon! The Regis in the Crown Tundra should be some good encounters, maybe even fighting Zacian/Zamazenta over and over again?
