How I Completed A National Living Dex In Pokemon Emerald 

Madlad just casually catches a shiny horsea and makes no fuss about it. That's a lot of dedication. I didn't complete my living dex until gen 4, gen 3 was out of my reach to complete back in 2005 lol

I did this back in high school, this is when completing a Pokédex actually meant something! Nice job!

I just love gen 3-4 man after that I lost the love for pokemon style idk it’s just me probably but I prefer the old style just nostalgic I guess

Congrats! I am working on Gen 3 right now. I finished Gen 1 and 2s. Trying to do this in every generation. :)

Bumping for the algo, keep it up, this was massive nostalgia

Loved the video! Johnstone put out a similar one after you and ALSO found a shiny Horsea, it confused me so bad LMAO

Johnston just completed the national dex as well and he also caught a shiny horsea. Pretty crazy

Man… everything about Colosseum brings back so many great memories. I think that game and XD still hold up

This was amazing! I absolutely loved the video and enjoyed the editing. I liked how you made aomwthing of a story out of it all and blended the different trainers stories together.

Working on this challenge myself! Great video!

I attempted this during the summer of covid lockdown in 2020, the only two Pokémon I wasn’t able to obtain were Espeon and Umbreon

This deserves alot more views keep up the content!

Great video! im a sucker for these ''100%'' videos for pokemon games

great video and amazing dedication, it’s going to help me to try and complete my own emerald living dex

I adamantly believe even today that having a complete gen 3 living dex in gen 3 itself is the hardest of the normal pokedex challenges. Good work and take my sub! 😊

Hey. I got back into Pokemon a few years ago. First thing I did was get an SP. I never got to get one as a kid. I then got the 5 GBA games. And 7 GBC Games. I bought all the strategy guides. I have hundreds of hours across all the games. I made one of my goals was to catch every Pokemon. I got as far as 384. I don't have a Mew or Deoxys. I do have celebi and a jirachi as well as HoOh and Lugia. In my leaf green save file where I have the national Dex complete. It's where I have 300 hours. Across 500 trades. Now that I'm done. I'm replaying it. On fire red. Now. Then again I'll do it on emerald. Pokemon is one of those games where restarting isn't essentially over.

I completed the Gen 3 Living Dex with just FR/LG and R-S-E carts. Got the one johto starter legit post game, then glitzerpopped-or pomeg berry glitched-the other two starters. That’s also how I obtained mew, ho-oh/lugia & jirachi+deoxis. BIG bonus was finding a shiny Mewtwo in Fire Red while soft resetting to try and catch it in the one Luxury ball I had lol it broke out, so I just chucked my master ball for the catch. For battle frontier: snagged a perfect IV Latios using the R/S glitch that lets you catch battle tower Pokémon, and have bred two near-flawless mons (metagross/houndoom) to take on the harder, haxy trainers File currently sits next to the Mirage Island guy, which I boot up to check everyday. Still no luck, but that island will be the final resting point for my save :) -it’s such an accomplishing feeling to complete, and I suggest everyone take the challenge on

That's pretty cool. I find it fascinating how others complete the Pokédex in older Gens.

Incredible dedication omg! So cool to watch

Super dope vid keep it up man

Awesome video and EXTREMELY ORGANIZED!!! I would have been overwhelmed! Lol Btw, I love the outro music (Kanye West - I Wonder) Did you make the sample yourself? It’s dope I love that album! (Graduation)

Dang dude, been out here hustling then this popped up. I remember the days of playing smash bros and all that with you and Aidan.

i was expecting the hoenn trainers to be named ruby sapphire and emerald after seeing you name leaf green

4:28 Imagine Red's reaction to a shiny Horsea 🤭

This is so satisfying video. 😍

mad props gen 3 is such a vibe

Nice video, I am currently working on this myself on GBA. Going to do a living dex on FR though since its my favorite game, I can't wait to do 200+ trades between my gameboys :D

inspiration to complete my own (even if it's on emulators) thanks for the inspo and def gonna subscribe

I hope to one day soon get a Living Dex in my childhood Firered. Since I can do without Jirachi, Mew, and Deoxys to get the Diploma, all l'm currently missing is a link cable and Emerald, and l'm good. The 3 Roaming Legendaries in FR/LG will be a pain, though. Until l find the final material, l'm working on as complete a Living Dex as l can get in R/S, which is very fun in itself. I already have a Living Regional Dex in Firered, and the Diploma is printed and framed on my bedroom wall.

Anyone who has even played half of Colosseum and tried snagging shadows knows how draining the game is lol 😅 props to you for this great video

This is insane that both you and Johnstone happened to come out with this exact concept so close to each other, while both also finding a random shiny Horsea. Like what are the chances of that shit LMAO

I love gen 3. I did so many playthroughs of RSE/FRLG and Colosseum/XD I may have multiple living dexes. I keep ‘em all on Pokémon Box!

Hooly moly I didn't know you can catch that much pokemon in Colliseum, interesting method!

Still love the “I Wonder” remix outro

Interesting challenge. Might try it out one day

Great video i love this i am actually thinking about doing a shiny emerald national dex

oh my god that random shiny horsea... xD I never had a shiny in Gen 3 except a groudon on my emulator, after resetting quite a few times with x10 speed and save states. And boy, did i play a lot of gen3.

Can't seem to distinguish which genre is, sounds like either happy hardcore or artcore, but regardless of genre I enjoyed listening to it

Great Video 😊

peak content i haven’t watched you in years i remember when you gave me a shiny zoroark still have it too this day🤝🏽

Has always been my favourite game and generation, I still remember back then when i was a kid i would borrow other versions from friends who no longer play them and transferring the exclusives just so i can complete the pokedex, little did I know anything about event pokemon at all, i was only able to reach 380/386. Recently youtube algorithm for some reason decided to introduce me into the world of rng and ACE execution(it’s such a rabbit hole that i would not recommend anyone to it), I’m able to finally make it to 384/386. Left jirachi and celebi, now I’m thinking if I will ever get a game cube and the japanese bonus disc eventually to complete this childhood dream haha

Holy hell!! It would be near impossible for the average player nowadays to do this without cheats. The event tickets alone.....

Congratulations on completing it, I finished my a while back and it was great to see all of my boxes full with complete Pokédex.

Ngl I just like the thumbnail art

Great video! I got 2 questions. 1. Do you need a Japanese Gamecube to get Celebi? 2. How do you get Deoxys and Mew? You inspired me to do this myself too!😊

FYI, if you're planning to trade these up to Pokemon Bank and eventually Home, it turns out that Deoxys on Birth Island through JP Emerald is, unfortunately, illegitimate because the Aurora Ticket was never available for Japanese Emerald. It's only legitimate in FRLG (all regions) and international Emerald. Other than that, very well done! This is probably the hardest one to start with since you basically need five (maybe less) games to complete the Living Pokedex in Gen 3.

Doing the same on Pokemon FireRed rn. I‘m at around 240. Just got my Milotic yesterday on sapphire version.

This was a good way to do this. (I personally am doing an OT living form dex so can’t use canon names) Only issue I had was how you pronounce Mirror B. 😂

Did you take inspiration from TheAuraGuardian?

Ah yes. A fellow king

Maybe I've missed it, but how did you get the Mew and Deoxys?

How did you get mew and deoxys? I understand jirachi and celebi from the bonus discs and everything else but i understand how you would have gotten the mew or deoxys

for some reason porygon is like 4k coins cheaper in leaf green, poor red was gambling his life away

I am surprised it took you halfway through the challenge to get a Butterfree and Beedrill lol.

Congratualations! Did you know though? Your livingdex is completed fully if all members have the Earth Ribbon. :D

assuming this was an emulator, how did you trade with eachother? like between red and green i mean

Impressive

madlad is my number 1 opp

This was a nostalgic video to watch and listen to. I am just heavily excited that I did not hear any pronouns throughout this video. With the last three event pokemon, did you own the copies of Japanese emerald or did you have assistance with those as I know the celibi event is the most difficult one to obtain.

are u playing from emulator or from the gameboy advance sp?

This rules, take my subscription

Finally a Pokémon RU-vidr that doesn’t have a douchey voice (aside from jrose)

has someone done a snag count for this vid?

w!!

How was this done with emulation?

Box 3 is sus after machamp...

why'd you bother purifying some of the shadows like slugma and dunsparce instead of getting them the easier way in the GBA games

Now do Gen 4 owo

I did this all with glitzer popping and ACE

My name is wes🧐

There's no legal way to obtain deoxys

Play pokemon unbound

This third-person narration is incredibly annoying.

Great video as always. Has anyone ever told you that kinda sound like Dunkey?
