571 - The VGC 2009 Battle Revolution Platinum mystery + LIVE! Shiny Rotom after 20,948 SRs! 

Let me know if you know anything more about the VGC 2009 version of Battle Revolution!! If you were a 2009 VGC-er, I'm particularly interested to know how exactly you set up your teams for this - was it all from the DS battle mode, or did you and your competitors link up your DSes to make Battle Passes first before the battles? I'm particularly fascinated by this and wish there was more info out there! Also, if you were wondering where I stream my hunts occasionally, it's twitch.tv/absoltastic!

Matt, I can not even start to explain how disappointed I am that you changed the clock for this hunt, that's cheating, you're ripping this family apart.

I have the slightest feeling that the new Platinum forms weren't modeled and so they were all banned so no one could even attempt to use any of them.

I actually love these types of videos - allows for a shiny reaction that isn’t 2 minutes long and extremely boring while also giving interesting trivia and narration about lost / not well known tidbits of Pokémon info and lore - excited for more to come!

I didn’t know Rotom only appeared at night, whenever I got to Rotom in Platinum the first time I was playing at like 9 PM so I just assumed they showed up whenever

it's very interesting that there's so many surprises and secrets about the particular Pokemon Platinum forms for Pokemon Battle Revolution , like since this was never brought to the US and only in this particular VGC competition in 2009 , i would like to see why this was never even brought up at all , i guess the world may never know at all ...

I've been really enjoying how your recent shiny videos have integrated little tidbits of niche Pokemon knowledge - it feels like every time I learn something new. Like these are topics you won't even see covered in Pokemon fact videos that are dedicated to being obscure. Real bottom of the iceberg stuff. It's really good! (Although glad to see you're not pushing yourself to make it the norm.) It definitely inspires ideas about how to innovate with shiny reaction videos

If Pokémon Battle Revolution ever got a remaster on the Switch, the Platinum update should be included as well. This content should be released for the public to see! If Genius Sonority ever decides to make this a reality (along with Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness remasters with extra content), that would be awesome!

This is the first I've heard of the shiny costumes in Battle Revolution! That seems like an interesting hunt

After 20k on single console I gave up this hunt. Thanks for giving me a bit of motivation again, congratz on the shiny! Edit: just got it! 24927 SRs

Man, that Pokémon Platine (honhon baguette) has been really generous in shiny odds hasn't it? Congrats on Motisma/Rothomas! (If I'm not mistaken, "Motisma" comes from "moteur" ("engine") and "plasma" (also-self-explanatory). The Platinum outfits in BR are really facinating for how obscure they are. They're technically lost media too, which makes them even more enticing and ~mysterious~. Really hoping, whether it's a patch or a whole other build of the game that went unreleased for whatever reason, it ends up being leaked online like the GS Spaceworld '97 and '99 demos and all of the beta DP stuff. The Wii couldn't really patch games as far as I remember, so it may be a revision that never got released due to not being worth it. Whatever it is, I'm really glad you brought the topic to light! It's a really intriguing mystery.

Love how much interesting info we can get in a shiny reaction video! Congrats on Rothomas, Matt! For the longest time I thought Rotom was a legendary since it had the legendary battle theme 😅

Ultra ball: ❌ Hyper ball: ☑️

As a french speaker, I love when he catches a Pokemon in the french game just so that I can listen to his french reading skills xD

"literally the first frame we turn, how rare is that?" i guessed immediately you saw Gunner's shiny nidorino to turn frame 1% Kangaskhan lmao

You know, the disks containing the distribution data for some of the PCNY events for Gens 2 and 3 in the early 2000s were actually recovered AND RESTORED. If that can happen, who's to say the same won't happen here?

LOL absol i loved the opening with the rotom on the tv

Grats on the Rotom! I love your videos so much. Been rewatching lately again. You really know how to communicate all the interesting mysteries in Pokemon while still keeping the passion and nostalgia for it. Just a nice reminder of how special these games all are in their own ways. Also, I could listen to you read French words all day.

There's also an unused music track in PBR, and unused avatars for both Red and Leaf, all in the base game.

I really hope this version gets leaked, I love Battle Revolution so much! 🙏🙏🙏

It’s so interesting to see that they might have done a platinum update for PBR!

My greatest cameo yet

In terms of battle revolution, I'm just as interested in the modded version that twitch plays Pokemon uses that has the Pokemon stadium announcer and models. Would be amazing to get a hold of that mod

Oh my god... Battle revolution was amazing! Yes, maybe it lacked the cups and mini games of the old stadium games, but... come on, it was still a beautiful game. I loved doing random battles there and seeing my shiny mons in all of their 3D glory.

What is that thing that you unplug when you get the shiny and how do I get one.

I wish I had a specter type rotom! All I can find is ghost type ones ;)

the platinum update of pokemon ranch gotta be the most frustrating moment in pokemon history

My beautiful Rothomas the Tank Engine in the intro 😁

I love the dedication you put into your videos, every video I have the feeling you are stepping up. ❤️

Man, an updated Battle Revolution would be amazing! You know what’s also amazing? This shiny ;) And the video! Congrats and thank you for making this ☺️

Genuinely amazing and really interesting video! Loved hearing about the obscure PBR facts at the beginning, would love to be able to know more about this version of the game! Also huge congrats on finding that shiny Motisma! I've got to say I love it when you find shinies on your Pokémon Platine, always gets really funny x)

I really hope one day someone makes a unoffical Platinum update for Pokemon Ranch

"To be continued" WHEN I NEED TO KNOW

Congrats on the shiny Matt(absol)! I'm a huge fan of your work and I'm always watching while I shiny hunt. Keep up the great work!

Pokemon misteries are definetly something worth investigating, but hearing Absol tell the stories of them is inspiring.

Great job Absol and it’s interesting to learn about the vgc battle revolution story and keep up the great work

Man, I forgot how much I like the sinnoh legendary music. Thanks for the video Absol!

Such an interesting Battle Revolution showcase! I really can't wait for the next shiny outfit find in PBR. I'm hunting for Marina after seeing you and Tops stream the hunts, I never knew the outfits could be shiny before that. Happy hunting ✨

Whenever there's multiple consoles being used to hunt, I always try to guess which one it will be. I've yet to get it right

Congrats on the Rotom my guy. Such a good shiny. I've got one for every form Rotom takes.

AbsolBlogsPokemon Matt my guy congratulations on getting that shiny rotom dude !!!! well well deserved on this

Rotom is one of my favorite shinies of all times!! Great find

Most of the S at the end of french words are mute. Anyways congrats for the shiny and now The VGC 2009 Battle Revolution Platinum mystery will haunt me for the rest of my life!!!

I love the new format of these videos mixed in with lore

That French Pokédex reading made me laugh

Yes!! I was hoping someone would hunt this for Halloween - congrats! 100% hunting it in BDSP. And the fact you named it rothomas!

Rotom is my favorite Pokemon and I've been shiny hunting it foreverrrrrrr

Amazing stuff per usual!

I just recently (this week) put Absol into my signature team and today I get YT recommendations for your videos which led to a binge watch. Google be watching us 👀

Congrats on your shiny Rothomas!

Congrats! And I never knew that version of PBR existed!

Duuuude these mystery videos would be a great series!

reading Rotom's French type as electer-specter is kinda fun

Love your vids keep up the good work

My latest randomized nuzlocke I ended up with a wingull as my starter, naming it "big beak" and I actually became attached to Pelipper and now it's probably top 30 for me. That fricking Pelipper got me through a lot and I'm still grateful

My favourite piece of obscure knowledge relating to Gen 4 is the Diamond/Pearl Battle Pokédex used for the TCG from Diamond&Pearl to legends awakened. What’s notable is that it has all Cross generation evolutions together, but randomly moves Aipom, Shuckle and Qwilfish around in Gen 2, and moves Girafarig all the way to after Gastrodon for no discernible reason

Congrats on shiny Rotom!!😃

Dude you make a normal shiny Pokémon showcase to something so interesting!

You got it nice

Pbr is such a mystery, i have only seen one time someone getting that got the shiny groudom outfit and still that was relatively recently, i never knew about those outfits and let alone if the models are real that was 2 gens of difference until we got 3d models for the rotom appliances

that's me, keunotor

Always funny to hear you talking in French, thanks French game. And gg for this beautiful shiny MOTISMA !

When I started hearing mother 3 music that nostalgia hit me hard!

I like these type of shiny videos, we get more content and the shinies

How none of those tv's broke from being smacked 16,000 times, I'll never know.

sick video. what are you using to control of your ds's?

Nice video matt(absol)

I was here for so much of the Rotom hunt, hitting 20k hurt

Specter type sounds way cooler than ghost.

Thanks!

I'd imagine they never made models for the platinum forms if they were banned. Though that doesn't explain why they went through with adding the platinum outfits.

Hardcore shiny hunters look for a shiny Rotom for each appliance as well as the base form

One of the encounters and a great shiny

deadass just as you found the shiny rotom I found my target: shiny ekans

I’d seen those platinum models for PBR before but I had no idea they were from worlds in 2009. I thought they were just from some promotional screenshot or something.

My boi rotom getting some love!

How did he reset them all at the same time?

Congrats on the Rotom! but i cant believe i wasn’t mentioned as i rolled the TimeOut 4096 -_-

I see my Sepirothsol, I wonder if it survived the elimination rounds

Fun fact in japan they released an update version for my pokemon ranch which included new forms

So I've always wondered this and never managed to find an answer, but how does Absol reset multiple ds' without pressing the buttons? I always found it super uncomfortable reseting multiple ds' and wasn't sure how others can do it so easily. Sorry if this had been explained before. Great video overall!

I see you got the Shiny Rotom, Pog, I didn’t catch the stream of it I guess

Your french is absolutely gorgeous

Coincidentally I was going to the old chateau going to catch rotom in diamond as this came out lol

Lets go rothomas has been captured

Love the video! Absol have you ever thought about doing yt full time? ik you dont put ads on your videos or accept sponsors and do this more for fun. But i would love to see more videos or streams.

I wonder if Rotom cooks food on it’s own?

I love this opening, I love the erring feelings and the throw back to the 2009 VGC, Grats on Shiny Rotomas!

What’s the DNS exploit mentioned at 10:40?

Yo my man how are you controlling 4 DS at the same time?

lovely

4:12 broooo, magnemite got that dumpy 4:16 also luigia is so cursed

how can you reset 4 ds at the same time?

How the heck do you control your 4 DSs with the power of your mind? Is it possible to learn this power?

If you have this version you need to release it to the public online i’m so hype

Motisma Moment 👀

Do you have any video explaining how to build this shiny hunting set?

Isn't it a bit early for a Halloween video?

how are you resetting without touching the systems??????????????

How do you have patience to shiny hunt please tell me
