HOW EASILY CAN YOU CATCH EVERY POKEMON IN RUBY/SAPPHIRE/EMERALD? 

Poochyena is actually kind of scary if it was chasing you, but in Emerald Prof. Birch is being massacred by a mighty.....Zigzagoon.

I want "you save one person from a poochyena and all of a sudden you're a slave to the entire hoenn region" made into a t-shirt

Hours and and hours of recording, then scripting and also editing... God, so underrated content.... thank you for this videos 😢😢😢

12:29 johnstone: I know what you're thinking me: slugma nuts lmao johnstone: but slugma is a pokemon from generation 2 me: oh

Actually laughing over “catching all spindas in 24 hours”

"Before emerald, there is no out of battle effects . . ." P I C K U P

A little advice: instead of walking you can use the jump bike to provoke encounters. Hold b when on a grass patch, and eventually a Pokemon will appear. This is great to avoid wasting steps in the Safari or when under repel.

Will say. 3rd gen Ruby, Sapphire, & Emerald were the first Pokémon games I've played, and just realized how much of a errand boy they make you for doing adult tasks at only 10 years old

“We’ll get back to that later,” is the catchphrase of this entire series.

First 2 gens: Have to catch 3 of each to the live pokedex Gen 3 onwards: S U P E R I O R E G G H A T C H I N G

“It’s the luckiest I’ll ever get in the catch em all’s” Me: uh... you caught a mewtwo with a normal pokeball on the first try...

"as far as I know there isn't a single ability with an out-of-battle effect that works before emerald" *sad zigzagoon noises*

''Why do you need the PoKeBLOCK case Johnstone?'' *Mickey Mouse Clubhouse voice* It's a surprise tool that will help us out later!

At least you didn't get a shiny male starter. Or a shiny pooch while resetting. Or a shiny ralts while teaching Wally to catch a pokemon. that would suck.

Damn. I never even used x items when playing these games. I just grinded the shit out of levels

Why are the starters not corresponding to the colors of the games. this triggers me.

"Remember that PokeBlock case I grabbed in Slateport City?" "no" "Well we need to evolve this stupid thing" "okay" this is basically me this entire video

This made me remember my whismur toy. A simple no articulation lump of plastic but he was so shiny and pleasant to the touch. Love that guy.

Plusle and Minun aren’t actually version exclusives. Minun has a lower encounter rate in Sapphire and Plusle has a lower encounter rate in Ruby.

I have a tip for you if you decide to do this with HGSS: Heavy Balls work on Lugia.

I'm only here for Feebas ^_^

This has Sceptile in the thumbnail. I approve.

this brought back so many memories. in my childhood I had emerald, had almost every pokemon, only missing feebas and milotic, game ended up being stolen so I could never finish it

I found Feebas entirely on accident on my first playthrough. And Milotic is one of my favorite Pokemon now

Great Video as always, I always loved this series!! Your a trooper for taking all the time this takes for our viewing pleasure

"This battle is extremely easy no matter what starter you choose" *looks at my save with 4 failed attempts* Delete

And then it took 24 hours to find and catch 1 Feebas. :(

i'm really happy channels like your are gaining big visibility. also, shoutout to Pikasprey! You def should collaborate, the both of you ROCKS and your styles are very similar. much love

How easily can you make these videos?

You should *REALLY* prepare yourself for the Sinnoh one... I also tried to catch every pokemon in sinnoh dex 2 years ago and it was a *pain* in the ass... Anyway, nice video!

On one of my emerald play thoughts I caught groudon with a standard poke ball on the first turn of the battle, was the biggest wtf moment in my poke career

These videos are the indisputable definition of “MAXIMUM EFFORT”

The "Help" at 18:39 had me almost laugh crying

NGL I just really like watching your videos because you pronounce every name flawlessly!

The pacing on these videos is really good! Makes 40 minutes really easy to watch! Well done!

I never really say this but holy shit. You make so of, if not the out right best, pokemon content I've ever watched. This video, the layout, editing, amazing humor, and great presentation kept me entertained the entire 43 minutes. Amazing work.

My favorite gen, been looking forward to this video!!!!!! Thank you so much for posting and making, I appreciate all your time and effort for such enjoyable and entertaining content! ❤️

I love this series! It's clear how much work you put into these videos and they turn out really fun and informative 👌

26:50 I imagined Groudon making a "Reeeee" sound like a frog before jumping out of the lava

I love how enjoyable you make this videos. I could listen to you nonstop. You are one of the best story tellers on youtube. :D Not a single boring moment!

Doctor: You have 24 hours to live Patient:

These videos are so satisfying to watch. Seeing a full roadmap for every catch from start to finish is incredible, that must've taken so damn long to do!

What I like about this videos is that you tell us what's happening in the story as well. So we get to see the pokedex completion and also review the story.

"We have Ruby, Emerald and Sapphir....." I died here hahah

Happy you saw my comment! These really make me see pokemon in a new way, as I usually just catch my team pokemon and use other wild encounters as free exp. P.S. Johnstone if you see this, please keep doing the funny commentary! It's adds a ton more life to your videos!

I never realized how hard it is to catch feebas... in my original play through of ruby I came across it by chance after only trying ONE fishing spot just trying to see if there were any new Pokémon in the area

I've never seen a video like this, and I loved the series bro! Congrats, you earned a new sub :)

This series inspired me to try out this challenge on my own in Pokemon X, and I did not realise how deep that rabbit hole went until it was too late. Before the second badge almost half of the pokedex is available, so many lvl 40+ evolutions, even a couple at lvl 50. Exp share and the Battle Chateau helps but still really tedious. Also the Zigzagoon strategy you used here is still viable in X and Y, saves you a lot of money on super potions and great and ultra balls. I always put this playlist on while I'm grinding in X, love your stuff!

13:10 There is an out of battle effect that was there since gen 1 but was unfortunately taken out later down the line: Softboiled. It was so convenient to have Chansey, Blissey, and Mew heal up your team when being away from pokégyms for a while.

I remember going to GameStop and getting a used emerald for my GB advanced and MAN did I hit the jackpot! All lvl 100 legendary and random assortment of pokemon.

I really like imagining this as three different trainers all racing to fill out their Pokedexes first. Your referring to Ruby, Saphire, and Emerald in the third person makes this 10x easier

When Luvdisc isn’t #69: We were this close to greatness

"You save one person from a Poochyena, and suddenly you're a slave for the whole Hoenn region" I died 😂

THANK YOU!!!! BRO I LOVE HOENN AND WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO

Idk why but your cut offs of you talking get me every time😂

18:39 that little "help" made me actually laugh out loud

Very impressed, subscribed, can’t wait for the next region!

Couple of tips: when catching skitty, you want to use the repel trick with a level 8 pokemon in the front of your party, makes it so much faster to find. You can also get onto the acro bike when doing the repel trick for latias/latios to save on buying repels. I believe it is also faster since you don't need to open the bag all the time - but It took me forever so it might actually be slower. Awesome video, must have taken ages to make considering you did 6 attempts just to get 3 runs. Would love to see this as an actual speedrun, with more optimal routing and better luck

“We need to make this ugly Pokémon beautiful” 😂

Honestly my favorite series of videos. Appreciate all the hard work that goes into these ❤️

Can't wait for you to try Diamond/Pearl/Platinum have fun with Munchlax

"We managed to catch 2 Spoink" And apparently, almost got Combusken fainted.

13:10 Pickup, Illuminate, and Immunity are abilities with out-of-battle effects in ruby and sapphire.

I love this channel, whenever I get the itch for pokemon, just watch the vid for my nostalgia

I do not understand how you have not broken at least 100K subscribers yet. I remember watching your videos a long time ago, and not subscribing, and now i’m kicking myself for missing out on this great content when it first dropped! Keep up the awesome vids! Good luck with the sinnoh dex 😂😂

I've always loved these videos and can't wait for the next ones. Also, Emerald, in my opinion, is the best main series game, so I'm so excited to see that you're doing the Hoenn catch 'em all!

Dude, binge-watching your videos on 2x is really fun! Keep up the good work

Very impressed. Great vid man. Watched the whole thing, I subbed :)

Hi John can you please do sinnoh

These vids are creative! I can't wait to watch Diamond/Pearl/Platinum I'm anticipating the Munchlax.

Dude this is so cool!!! Can't believe I'm just finding your channel. These videos are seriously next level man. Would have been super cool if you live streamed this!

No matter how many times I watch this video, I am always impressed by how fast this goes. Love it and it never gets old

"Emerald has to stop to catch a slugma, and you know what you are thinking..." Me: "Slugma balls"

I started this 4 days ago. I quit after 1 day. I am amazed you actually completed this

One of the coolest R/S/E videos I’ve seen so far! Good job :)

I applaud the amount of effort you put into these videos. it does not go unnoticed! good job.

36:08 Lombre to ludiculo with a leaf stone🤔🤔

hi Johnstone! I really like your series :) i just have one small tip/complain: I am not from UK/USA but from Germany. Therefore, the Pokemons I know have different names than yours. It would help me (and maybe also others) if you would cut the clips in which you catch a Pokemon in a way that you show the picture/look of the Pokemon instead only the catched Pokeball. I know that you do this sometimes in the video, but only sometimes. For other Pokemons you just name them and show the Pokeball. I hope it is understandable what I want to suggest. Besides this, I really enjoy your videos. Great work. Please keep going/doing!

Nice video! Barley any ads for a 43 minute video, you're the best!

This is the video that made me subscribe. I’ve been watching your content off and on and I saw that in your Emerald Catch Them all, that you mentioned this. So I laughed when I saw this in my recommended.

Should have gone in manga order. Ruby: male Sapphire: female Emerald: short boi

yess king xoxo love these videos

Your narration is really enjoyable. Helps to immerse in the nostalgia these games provide for me.

I love this because it’s a 45 minute run through of my favorite version. Get to relive my childhood for a bit..

14:06 He caught a Spinda with a pattern he didn't have yet? So lucky!

Gud shtuff all around, keep it up!

I love the video, haven’t seen this style of content before personally. I really enjoyed watching you do what has taken me a long time because of dilly dallying.

Loving your videos. Keep them coming. You have my subscription!

I remember freaking out about catching a Kyogre with a great ball while it was in yellow health.

Not even going to lie, I came here to see him catch Feebas lmao

U put so much into these videos and I'm so great full and love your content. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! ♥️🥰

I love this series it’s so entertaining since I’m too lazy to even attempt to do this myself.

when you talked about the deoxys cards i thought u were gonna do the classic john cut to you having it 😂😂

Hey great video a useful since my plan this month to get all pokemon in gen 3. im going to suffer when I record the games

SO much work and effort is put into these videos! You're insane but I love them

Very helpfull video.I will consider following it step by step.Keep up the good work

I have played them all, from Pokémon red/blue -> Ultra sun/moon, and I’ve never completed the Pokédex.

Jeez I keep getting excited that the Hoenn Professor Oak challenge is out

Great video. It's funny you mentioned your bike control because I was thinking you're kinda a mess with it lol.

This was really entertaining thank you!!
