I reacted to ALL my old Pokemon game save files... 

The ds era just hits different

That Machamp at the end was actually from an in game trade, exclusive to yellow. There’s a guy in the entrance to one of the underground paths that trades a Machoke for a Cubone.

For the GB and GBC games that do work, please upload the data to your computer and replace the batteries 🙂

I love seeing people going through old save files! I was half expecting to see a few of the player characters stuck behind counters or out of bounds somewhere😂

3:55 Interesting Lugia…

"It's legit" "I cloned it to death" 🤣 Oh how we've been warped.

I remember ds wifi battles on RU-vid all the early PokeTubers pointing the webcam at the screen. This was super nostalgic, thanks.

I think the coolest thing from my old games is my original copy of Silver has Pokemon with active Pokerus still.

If you used pokemon bank, the shiny Rayquaza could be legit. You could get special pokemon if you transferred a certain number of pokemon into it, and a shiny Rayquaza was one of them.

The bootleg fire red is so fascinating, I can’t get over it, ITS SO COOL DUDE

3:56 Proceeds to call Ho-Oh a Lugia lol

I recently found my copy of HeartGold with a "livingdex" (had all pokemon except the mythicals)

Please, transfer those rare event pokemon (like the NY Flygon) to Home so they don't get trapped in the cartridges forever when bank is shut down. And maybe do a video about that if you want, it could be cool.

That RWJ cool transition had me going 😂

Your Ho-Oh might be legit. It says from Kanto because it’s from the FRLG Sevii Islands. It’s a wild encounter so it can be caught in any ball.

Sometimes when i open up an old file of mine i can see exactly what media i was into at the time. Case in point, a new leaf green file i started in high school where everyone is named after homestuck characters. I also like to finish the file but with nuzlocke rules starting from that point. It doesnt always go well

Omega Ruby is my most played game as well, it was so fun between it being nostalgic from Gen3, the online play, the shiny hunting, and i think it was peek for online battling.

It's always fun looking at old save files to see if anything cool is left behind! The ALAMOS Darkrai is certainly real, but judging by the date you probably came back to this game to try the DNS exploit to get the event!

Wow...this video makes me happy and sad at the same time.sad I didn't have friends to trade with like never had Gengar until gts and also sad my dad didn't allow me to play,so I had to play secretly.that means no events ever.but also it makes me happy because I think about the actual cool things that happened like I actually got legit pokerus on an arktos of All Things,which I carried over into every game .thank you for this rollercoaster because now I can play with my husband and am just really happy with everything ❤

I'd be VERY interested to know more about that mysterious "By Jazz" psuedo JP/ENG Fire Red game. I collect mainline (and fan made) Pokemon games and would love to own one of those myself. Also, just seems like it'd be an important piece of history that'd I'd love to hear about. People were really emulating and translating that far back, which to me is insane to think about! I've been playing Pokemon since Silver, but I wasn't really made aware of any types of hacks until the early Diamond/Pearl days.

My save files are all so tame. Apart from my first Diamond play-through in which I didn't really know english all that well and thought I was forced to nickname, I never nicknamed anything. Every PC in every save file is filled with (an attempt at) a full living dex, all caught in regular poke balls. I never really got any attachment to specific pokemon, because they were all just steps towards the full pokedex. Only my starters and whichever pokemon I used for false swipe and status effects for catching the pokemon I needed, really stuck with me. My Diamond save is probably my favorite, because it was my first and I have like 800 hours in it. The hall of fame is filled with entries of just 3 pokemon, my lvl 100 infernape, a pokemon I used for fly and whichever pokemon I was training to get to level up for a pokedex entry at the time. I had a handwritten cheat sheet in my DS case, that had all pokemon I still needed to get, where to get them and how to evolve them. On the back of the cheat sheet I had written down which move I needed to use for each pokemon in the elite 4 to one-shot them with my infernape. I suppose the most interesting save file I have, would be my recent Let's go Pikachu save. In that game I tried to get a full shiny living dex, because it's so easy to get shinies in that game.

I remember my cousin having a similar bootleg Japanese copy of LeafGreen. They gave me a Slowbro named “SLOWB” and I remember trading it away for the Lickitung on that one route

Nostalgia Made Me Beat Red Version Again In Over 20 Years, Nothing Like Playing Old Video Games.

PapaSea! Hi! Thanks for continuing your banging content into 2024, all the best for a good year for you & your channel man!! Love the content as always, thanks for giving me a 5am Sun morn watch!!

Honestly the ds games were just the best game to play ever

Im such a Nerd, I still remeber all my first play through teams from every gen lmao

The =3 transition was a mental flashbang

Seeing people explore old game save files makes me want to play the old pokemon games ❤😅

As soon as I saw this I got excited! I love used Pokémon saved files!! 😁

Hey @Papasea Idk if you have answered this before! But how do you capture footage from your carts? I want to play through all the Pokemon games but I can’t afford a 3DS with a Capture card

The used one brings me back, because I also had the unknown dex and the better part of a living dex on my emerald when I moved out for college and decided to sell my Pokemon games (I was in a lull in my Pokemon interest, almost immediately reversed once I got to college). Still stings.

wonderful stuff , rlly brings back memories

I feel you. About ten years ago i lost my original copy of White. I had about 200 years of gametime and all of my mons from the gba era on it...

This kinda makes me wanna check out my old cartridges. Unfortunately, im pretty sure my gen 2 cartridges have dead batteries, and maybe my gen 1 cartridges, too. But starting from the GBA onward, everything should still work.

Corsola spotted!! That makes this whole video amazing. ❤

I remember my first pokemon game ever was yellow and my mum gifted it to me for starting school. It was a combo pack with the pika-edition gameboy color. I loved it to pieces. I remember I couldn't read at that time so I had a lvl 70 Nidoking (I loved the male nidoran sprite) when I hadn't even badge 7 xD Found it a few years back and was devasteded when I realized the savefile was gone. But I still cherish the game as one of my most loved childhood memory.

I was just looking at my old crystal cartridge! I had the shiny gyrados and a typhlosion, also a pidgey and dratini on the fall of fame.

I love ur channel pps!

Currently playing through heart gold having a blast gonna go through gen 5 when I’m finished

I have a strange feeling when I'm going through old saves on used pokemon games. On one hand... I bought the game because I want to play it. But when I open up the game and there's 200 hours of someone's hard work... I just can't bring myself to delete it. Unless it's all hacked of course. I reset that instantly. But if I find a legit game, I just can't do it.

That Ricky the Machamp in Yellow was actually from an in game trade. You can trade a Cubone for a Machoke named Ricky, which then immediately evolves into Machamp

That shiny Pichu in your Pearl version can be used in HGSS to get the notch-eared Pichu in ilex forest

You picked up Darkrai in 2019 so either you didn't collect mystery gift for 12 years or you used one of the more recent fan hosted DNS servers to get it. I would personally consider that legit but some might not.

the reason i bought a little anbernic handheld emulator that does up to gba is because all my old gameboy games internal batteries died i do recall because of the unlimited master balls/rare candies my original blue team was all lvl 100 starter trio, nidoking/queen, and like articuno or mewtwo or something like that somebody was always just willing to trade you whatever because of the unlimited items it was easy to get them back (except safari zone pokemon)

Need the dad lore about how he got that Fire Red bootleg for you 😂

My computer with my roms crashed and I was just looking at my old game boy like "maybe"

My older brother sold all my Pokémon games for beer money as a freshman in college. So watching this is a bit of a fantasy for me. I’m sure many other relate.

Loved this video

anyone else notice the only 2 english named pokemon in his pc box on his japanese pearl - soba and fuji a haunter and torterra

Dude this is so cool

I only just opened the video but wanted to say. I REALLY wish I could look back at my old game files. How amazing that would be. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what even happened to all my old games

Idk why, but this is my favorite video of yours. That Fire Red translation is SO cool! I wonder if you can do Safari Week on it 🫣

Pikapal... some foreshadowing there...

Trying to find black or white for a decent price is rough. Just trying to get at least one of every main game for my daughter lol

Hey the shiny pichu does a cool event in heart gold or soul silver if you have them

Your name's Billy? Awesome! My name's Billy, too!

Being able to clone any Pokémon and item in Emerald is so good.

Wonder if any of my old time Pokémon games still have they save data.

Ricky the Machamp is an in-game trade in Yellow

Awesome desk matt/top❤🥰

crazy your crystal lasted 21 years, and oyur yellow games lasted 26 years?!! fuck man I'm about to try access my old ones too. Wish me luck.

RIP my copy of Silver that I had a complete living and unown dex on.

Wait, did that Sudowoodo have the pokerus? 2:52

🥲 neat to see this unfortunately for me most of my old teams are gone due to time and resets...

I never got any crazy event Pokémon so I reset most of my copies just so I can HAMMER AWAY over and over

my order of pokemon games is a bit weird, i started in gen 4 and then after gen 8 i went and played gen 3 cuz i didn’t have any of the gen 3 games, and then got gen 9. but my order of playing pokemon was: soulsilver pearl platinum white black 2 y sun ultra sun let’s go eevee sword legends arceus emerald firered violet

Definitely is a fake lugia

This video is pure nostalga

You can get ho-oh in Kanto. However it would be level 70.

I named my original Sapphire trainer "TERRY" as well, no idea why though 😅

which moves did your flygon have? edit:wtf is that bootleg?you gotta do some research on it,its super interesting

that Equal three intro tho

“This is an example of a fake lugia caught in a master ball in the Kanto region” Proceeds to show Ho-Oh😂

This is fascinating

A hitmontop on a Masterball. Legit.

I find it insane that yall haven’t transferred all your pokemon up yet. I have my squad from RS&E in HOME as we speak 🤣

“I got it at lvl 5 or lvl 6 and then leveled it up” … mews entry in the PC: “arrived at lvl 27”

Masterball on that sudowoodo too

FR before it came out? If you were FlygonHG, I'd say Uncle Jimtendo got it :).

What is the name of the music on 18:10 ??

3:46 is this the pikachu colored pichu?

You Ho-oh Lucia then correctly said its name a few sentences later

Can someone help me out. How many shakes of lamb's tail is this video?

4:00, it may be a fake lugia but is it a legit ho-oh?

God I wish someone hadn't stolen my Soul Silver version it had all the event pokemon on it through the years ;A;

A Vaporeon in a box labeled "Breed"? Hmm... Something something, copypasta.

I get it, it's a cat box.

I beat the elite for with all my Pokémon at level 55 or so no legendaries

Papasea? more like Papa Pokemon.

That is indeed a fake Lugia... because it's a Ho-oh

Last i check i think i had like 420 Hours played on it

I deleted my safe file I cheated on (sapphire) because I wanted to play legit and start fresh on sun and moon. Way more fun to play legit and to shiny hunt etc.

If, somehow, you find a copy of pokemon conquest can you tell me? 🤣 Not being in America/UK really screw me between shipping and another tax, almost double the price

How can a collection of one's and zero's be legitimate or bootleg? Its just data. To each their own but I don't see how a collection of data can be real or fake, it can only exist or not exist.

"did you know that you can level it up" his mew arrived at level 27

how can there be no ot for your scissor im pretty sure thats not possible to have no ot to lol lol

u should complet that fire red :D

3:54 that is indeed a fake Lugia...

“Arrived at Lv. 27.”

Are you going to transfer all you Pokemon into HOME through Bank? The cut-off time is coming up in April and they will be stuck forever on the cartridge.
