682 - The biggest Safari Week IRL EVER! I found 8 Shiny Pokemon in the Safari Zone(Safari Week 2024) 

H (most of this video is utter nonsense that I decided to include to make it as ridiculous as possible)

Thanks for supporting my cameo dude! Now I can afford to not upload for another few months 🙏🙏🙏🙏

"is that the valley wind works?" "I sure hope it does" was such an underrated bit 😂

Never thought I'd hear Calzone say "erm what the sigma"

“We’re giving the Oddish GUNS.” is my new favorite Cal Zone quote

I can't believe Cal Zone is canonically dead until next season when he's busted out of hell because there's an Oddish emergency that requires aid only he can provide.

Hearing Kotatsu say "standing in the odds" reminded me of a dream I had recently. In my dream, the phrase "standing in the odds" actually got popular even outside of the shiny hunting community to the point where famous and important people started talking about it. But they were talking about it like it was the ice bucket challenge renaissance, a lot of people gave speeches about how we, as the human race, have to stand in the odds for a better future. Politicians were saying that we had to stand in the odds for "the nation's future". People started making videos of themselves walking into puddles of water and saying "I'm standing in the odds" like it's the ice bucket challenge, entirely misunderstanding the original meaning of the phrase. It was a wild dream.

"AND THE NURSE JOY ODDISH IS GOING TO GIVE ME A KISS" This is the video we need to send to the aliens

I really like these style of video, where you can tell it's just a group of friends hanging out, but ones who came together over a game but had the relationships become more than just just centered around the original game

Wow, Matt's Cal impression has gotten so good I almost thought he was in the car with them.

I still can't believe that Cal Zone was actually soluble in water. I miss him. Also he owed me money too 😭

I will never forget the CEJ Dance into Shiny Reaction for as long as I live. Seriously had such an incredible time with you dude, and I can't wait for the next crazy adventure!!

1:50 "check out the back of my shirt 🐴"

Videos like these used to be 10 minutes long, But mr Absol decided to cook up this 40 minute Masterpiece! It was so much fun seeing you all hangout together! Thank you for this treat Mr Pokémon Blogger. And I wish mr Cal of the Zone a nice next 42 years, and hopefully his birthday back (Oh and congrats on the shinies too I suppose)

the joy in this house is infectious! the crowd 'oohing' and 'ahhing' at the shinies gave me chills, so glad that you all got to do this together. a beautiful community moment to share! ❤❤❤

The Cal and Ramona lore has developed so much, another banger as always, the safari week video of all time I dare to say!

I love how Dallas says "I'm just gay." I feel that as I am Bi myself lmao

You did such a great job of capturing the camaraderie and craziness of this week! I had a blast, and I'm really glad you had a blast too! Thanks, Matt!

"When the G rated movie has an R rated sequel"😂😂 that whole sequence was almost as good as "anybody named Dave, F$^= you!" in the wonder trade stream

Shoutout to whoever said "Minecraft" at the end. Hardest I've laughed in a long time.

This guy is so underrated. One of my favorite RU-vidrs right now

the story of cal zone and ramona marsh would be perfect for an indie movie

The Real Shiny Hunters of Palm Springs! I love this pilot and I cannot WAIT for the rest of the season!!!

Unironically this is the best video i have seen this year on youtube. Its just fun the whole time. Yea shiny hunting might not be your thing but when a whole house of friends freak out cause some eggs are a slightly different color, it just makes anyone smile.

the zoo having the same font as the scarlet logo is kinda crazy. "can we play frutiger cotton eyed joe?"

My core group of friends and I used to have crazy meetups like this but we all got a bit older, some had kids, other responsibilities etc. This video really made me remember those times and I just thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. I love this channel, it's just so much fun.

finishing this video really has me feeling like I just completed a big series that I grew attached to, that feeling of there being nothing left for me in the world. surely I can't be the only one feeling this, right? 😭

Ramona's throw was Excellent!! Thank you for your sacrifice, junior.

I wish I had a friend group like this, no joke this sounded so fun and relaxing!

God this looked so fun! I’ve always wanted a bunch of IRL friends to do goofy pokemon stuff with. I’m glad you have something like that!

We should do the math and calculate how much those 69 consoles are in total. Because that’s crazy. That must be a world record for most game boys and DSs in one room

Love the way this whole event was captured, it was so fun to see again. The fact that the ENTIRE Nova League was able to show up is still so baffling to me. Very lucky timing and location. Almost makes up for the fact that Ruby and I (gremlin) didn’t find a single thing at the IRL…. Almost………

I haven't shiny hunted in ages, but the idea of hunting in a house full of other people who are also hunting and all share the excitement when someone finds one is amazing.

Junior the Spheal is weak to Fighting types (and likes it 😏) This was by far one of the BEST Safari Week videos I’ve seen. So glad to have watched the streams live! Here’s to next year! 🎉🥤

New character lore. The Great Marshall appears. The new BF of Ramona, here to avenge the Great Marsh defimation.

I dont know what it is about your videos, but for me they are quiet magical to watch and I like your in universe lore more than I can admit tbh Thank you for great entertainment

H onored to have participated to the Oddish army we will get revenge ( the buff oddish and the first nurse joy oddish contributed by me 9:57 )

Matt went from simple highlights of streams to being with his friends for like a week in another state just chilling. And I love it!

"erm, what the sigma" cal zone -2024

I don't think I've ever watched one of your videos before so this as a raw experience was incredible and unhinged.

the fact that mat also got a secret rare right after the phanpy is crazy

lovely evening for a calzone lore video

Sick of these influencers like Cal Zone filming Pokémon in peril BEFORE rescuing them. Ramona was right to leave him. Great video as always!!!

Every video posted delves further into the promised madness from the first video and I love it

15:23 I can’t believe your parents let you play DS in the car; that was so nice of them 😊

The Valley Windworks joke had no business going that hard lmao

My stupid bellsprout gijinka oc made it into the video for a few moments Thank you again for such a great safari week!

this is exactly the type of unhinged video that i adore

In my mind this video will forever be called The Biggest Salandit bcs for some reason my mind convinced me that thats what that was going to be when i saw the notification. And hey, as far as Salandits go, this might indeed be the biggest one.

Hey! I was ghostiimoth in chat and the artist of, oddish totally hiding under the shirt and later on shiny punk girl oddish! I don’t regret the chaos I caused

Amazing video! This is so special. Every safari week I watch Matt and Dallas’s shiny pokemon playlists, all the way from the beginning. The entire time I was watching this video I couldn’t stop thinking about the Journey it took to get to this point. From the humble beginnings of the super solitary, extremely niche hobby of shiny hunting; to today, where so many memories and friends have been made, and even an entire community of thousands of people has been formed. I think that’s really beautiful, and there’s still so much to look forward to!

is that the valley windworks? i sure hope it does i laughed at that way too hard lmao. i am living for the chaos in this so far

I think this is one of my favourite videos of yours. There's a true sense of community and friendship in the whole journey you take us on!

So jealous of that irl meet!😅 Looks like you all had a wonderful time!

That shiny oddish left Calzone just like Romona did

2:08 It’s an honor to be enshrined in the recording of the first shiny of this amazing video. Imgur owes me for plugging them.

oh my gosh, this is such a good video matt!!!! its so awesome seeing everyone having such a blast at the irl, i could NOT stop smiling through the entire video. but oh man, RIP (?) Cal Zone... enjoy being with the big floating H in the sky :(((

This video was definitely an adventure. Love to see your growth over the years as a person and RU-vidr!

Yoooooooooo Irl is sick, I also spotted book two of void jumpers HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

SAFARI WEEK RAHHHH

Shiny hunting is such a solitary activities sometimes, it’s so fun to see irl meet ups like this. What beautiful, chronically online, brainrot vibes

Peak video. I love the energy you and your friends have. It wamrs my old icey heart Edit: i refuse to fix thst spelling error

thank you mr cal zone for making this video possible

that’s so cool mannn i wish i had friends who also enjoyed shiny hunting

Love the level of dedication, driving back home just to show us, the undeserving audience, what shiny Phanpy on GC looks like, just to immediately head back to Cal. . I'm moved to tears, really.

I'd say it was a pretty nice week this year. This was the first Safari Week I've hunted in, and I can't wait to try harder next year!

I love this definitely call of duty warzone video

the Zach Hadel scream at 30:18 killed me

I don't think I've ever seen a Cal Zideo about Safari Week that was this amazing before! I've been watching this for years and finally got to try it this time, and watching you and everyone along the way was so awesome! Here's to more prosperous Safaris going forward!

5:22 I’m so happy that my first ever layout redemption will be immortalized in this way

I can rewatch your videos a hundred times and laugh every time! Definitely coming back to this one!

first safari week I participated in!! awesome event and thank you for hosting

I’m eating clam chowder while watching this. I feel absolutely terrible but comfort food + funny Matt video will hopefully make me feel better. Thank you, Matt ‘Absol’ Blogs.

Honestly no need to apologize for the train I literally know exactly where that military train was at AND used to work where that giant mammoth was at LOL, this was a great video!!!

this was so fun to watch, y'all obviously had SO much fun LOL i could feel it through the screen

Oh ym god the layout goes so crazy this video, there's so much incredible fanart

This is one of the best videos of all time, Safari Week is so magical!!!

man, what a delightful video, dude!! your friendship and joy here is absolutely contagious

Safari week is great! Not like I lost a Chansey here. ... H

The way Kotatsu screamed like they were losing their firstborn when the Shinx escaped LMAO

This looks so fun! Seeing shiny hunting go from a solo activity, to something people did over voice calls, to *this* has been such a treat. Love the vibes yall give! Oh, and as always...see you, space Oddish.

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga music was insane to hear (especially after the brothership reveal) I LOVE that series so much!

Loved to be here for safari week 2024, saw shiny oddish and exeggcute live

Man Matt’s videos just keep getting better

2:43 Yes, it's a Taco Bell and a Burger King together, what else did we expect

Gotta love the Phanpy enthusiasm. Phanpy is one of my favourites

Another banger video from SmellvinBlogsPokemon and a guest appearance from SmellZone

Oh god the valley windworks joke got me so hard my laughing incapacitated me. I did too many situps yesterday I can't laugh like that while so sore!

That reaction after catching the shiny eggs!!!

So incredible. I love the community and friendship brought about by shiny hunting. Your videos continue to be inspirational and enjoyable! Maybe one day Ill do an IRL lol. See you in the next one!

this might be one of my favorite of your vids yet! absolutely hilarious, thanks so much for sharing your experiences as always :)

"If it's cold, they're cold" I don't think that logic really applies to ICE type pokemon 😂 Lapras is gonna be fine.

Great job Absol and I loved how awesome this irl satellite stream was and it’s awesome seeing you guys come together and I unfortunately didn’t get any shinies this safari week and keep up the amazing work

10:47 glad you guys are engaging in the arts while hunting

I never shiny hunted, but after watching your videos, it always makes me want to. You guys always look like you have the best time together. Thanks for another safari week. Cheers!

Thank you for hosting as always! This was my first official year participating, I went 10k last year quad hunting on sps, but got sick and stopped halfway through. This year I went almost 34k with 4 shinies! I can’t believe how much fun I’ve had shiny hunting. Thank you for the awesome videos and inspiration to start doing this all.

as an italian i can confirm his pronounciation and accent were spot-on and not at all incomprehensible

This was such a joy to watch, congrats on a great week to everyone!

Now that's what I call digimon

I fell off shiny hunting for a little bit, but watching this really helped rekindle that flame. I might have missed Safari Week this year, but I think I'll try to dip my toes into hunting again.
