The Gen 3 Roaming Legendaries Are Glitchy and Terrible 

YES

go for it 👍🏽 should add leaf green side by side with fire red

I think it's a bit niche

Yes do it that sounds like a great idea

now that I've seen the video I can confirm this is a BANGER shirt I would buy

It’s Gen 3, who cares about iv’s?

At least Hyper Training will fix those terrible IVs if you transfer them to Sun/Moon

@@MrLump Why wouldn't you care about having noticeably lower stats than you could have lol

​@MrLump Didn't play crystal so Gen 3 were the first games to give a reason to care about IVs à la battle tower.

​@@QPoilyBecause most kids don't understand how EVs or IVs work, or that they even exist. When I played Gen 3, I was in elementary school. I only cared about how cool they looked and power leveled my starter to level 100 so he could one-shot everyone else. I hated the Battle Frontier because it required me to actually plan and strategise instead of powering through everything with superior firepower.

it's a masterpiece, a gift from the universe, I'll never tire of it

But sadly Emerald has that issue relating to RNG, insted of generating a new values each frame instead it generates as the save file menu is loaded

@@chimaeraarts Emeralds RNG works perfectly fine. The bug is that it always starts at 0, making it perfectly predictable.

@@psychonerd93 well said 👍

Emerald and Platinum.

Imagine having Gen 1 with gen 1's codebase.

Well, you can catch Mew in gen 1 even though it's not supposed to be possible to find Mew at all in the game…

they'd probably mess up and end up making it so every wild, trainer, and static encounter all become one of the legendary beasts at level 3591e+34 with Sky Attack and Growl as their only moves

There would be a bug where, if you ever pressed a button on an even numbered frame, they would all get switched for Goldeens

G3: *has a glitch that can permanently remove a legendary from the game through absolutely no fault of the player if the pokemon just happens to use one out of its four moves, and another glitch that makes them always have terrible IVs no matter what* UHHHHH B-B-BUT G1 BAD

Bro same, oddly nice to have an old problem solved

yep, also happened to me

I never beat my LeafGreen copy as a kid before it was lost, so I never got to experience this. By the time I got around to emulating, I already knew about the roaming legendaries.

Entei here I'd like my virginity back

How so it's always random right

@@danf7411nope. It’s something like 3ivs are random and the rest are always 0

​@@danf7411 The video literally goes over this: - A Pokemon's Individual Values are stored within their data as a 32-bit integer value, in which only the first 30 bits of the value are used. 5 bits are used to store the Individual Value for each stat, which gives them their limit of 0-31. - The data for the roaming Latias/Latios/Entei/Raikou/Suicune is generated upon having their event flags triggered, to try and ensure you're fighting the exact same one each time you encounter them. The generation and storing of this data within the cartridge's SRAM, by itself, runs without issue. - Due to a programming oversight however, when you actually manage to successfully capture your roaming Pokemon, the game incorrectly copies the Individual Values within this stored data onto your newly-captured Pokemon -- it only copies the first byte (8 bits) of the value, leaving the remaining three bytes (24 bits) of it as zero. - As a result of the above, and due to the exact order the bits are interpreted as, this error effectively locks their Speed, Special Defense, Special Attack and Defense IVs to 0 and caps the Attack IV at 7. Only the HP IV ends up being copied in full. The only way of circumventing this error without patching the game itself is via external modifications to the save data to write new Individual Values to the Pokemon. - This error is only present within _Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed,_ and _LeafGreen._ It was fixed with the release of _Emerald._

@@danf7411 Did you not watch the video?

probably not, you'd be surprised how many people comment on videos without watching it.@@dusklunistheumbreon

facts

We have a difficult choice to make in sinnoh

So do I but for Entei Raiku and Suicune Entei is the most useful of those and Suicune is pure CRAP for battles.

​@@veghesther3204gen 3 suicune has no weakness. use surf ice beam calm mind rest/toxic, it is a TANK

Finding them is such a nightmare.

I remember encountering Entei in Heart Gold when I was like level 25 and being freaked out and scared of getting knocked out. It happened a few times, actually.

Your uncle touched you.

I had a Raikou encounter in LG as well. Lil' ol' me wouldn't stop until I caught it and after months of tracking Raikou I did eventually manage to catch it. Unfortunately it had a nature which reduced its spec attack AND had extremely low SP IVs (which I only found out a decade later). I didn't know anything about natures or IVs but damn was it noticeable that something was off even to young me.

It's funny because, as I had experience with Gen 2, I already knew how to hunt them. So when they roared, I looked at the Pokedex and found there was zero data. It made me reset and I thought they just downgraded and made roaming legendaries worse. So I never had a hard time hunting them, due to the fact I thought the roar bug was the standard. If they run, I also reset without even checking. So to this day, I thought even if they ran it made them impossible to catch. xD

I broke my gameboy a day later.

Imagine getting a shiny beast, having it roar, and realizing you lost it

​@@phyllojoe5346at least in that case, as long as you don't save, you can just reset and you know that your beast will always be shiny when you encounter it again.

​@@every116your last save: right after beating brock 💀💀💀

​@@Leo-nm1nethe thing is when you beat the champion it autosaves after the HoF

​@@Leo-nm1neLiterally impossible. The game forcefully saves when beating the Pokémon League.

Yeah I remembered that as a kid. Spent a while training up a Mean Look Haunter that was quick enough to go first in battle, and then...Roar.

I think a character in the anime tried that exact strat but Entei just used Roar and fled.

​@@johnmartinez7440lol I remember I happened to have a pokemon with mean look and was so passed about roar. Never could figure out the trick.

​@@PerfectAzraelYou remember exactly. All it did was redouble their resolve to catch it because they knew what would happen next time.

I had a Haunter that had Hypnosis and relied on that with Mean Look.

Gen 2 logic: more=better

I remember when people were crying when Roaming Legendaries were absent in Gen 6, and I never got it. Well, absent as how they were in previous titles. The Legendary Birds were _technically_ roamers in Gen 6.

​@@christiancinnabars1402I liked them because they had to make you re-explore old areas, but I actually prefer the in game events with a moving sprite more and Cinematic cutscene

Roaming Legendaries in Crown Tundra are so much better, u should try them

Yes. Thank you.

It's something I miss from older Pokemon games...there's still stuff like Damp which stops (shiny) Pokemon from self-destructing, but I miss Sweetscent for auto-starting battles...and how it would force start horde battles in X and Y and ORAS.

By playing Colosseum

Competitive didnt exist until Gen 4 buddy.

That's wrong. Ev training and IV RNG manipulation/breeding was used a bunch for official Pokemon tournaments in gen 3.

@@SnowboardinNinja What official Pokemon tournaments were being run during that time? Also, did they even have the tools to RNG manipulate in the early 2000s?

Did you just catch a different one with the AR or use a code to max out its stats? I also have AR and would like to fix mine.

@@JG54206 You do both, though I find the codes to max out stats to be... unreliable, at best. A lot of them literally just set everything to 999. Catching another is probably your best bet since you can use codes for IVs of your choice.

For me yesterday I flew back to pallet from vermilion and then as I was leaving to go to route 1, my first encounter was suicine. This is after the whole game and I forgot about the annoying roaming legendaries when it just appeared

And I caught it with the masterball I saved.

The legendary beasts only appear after you beat the elite four in Fire Red and Leaf Green and depend on the starter you chose. Entei and Raikou have a really bad game breaking glitch where if they used Roar, they both disappear on your cartridge permanently

@@Kali_Krausehe had suicune so he’s probably just unlucky and never found it

All my friends said legendaries are Cartoon only, so when I caught an entei they accused me of owning a bootleg copy:p

This may just be a matter of the battery being dry. I bought a used copy of Ruby years ago to migrate pokèmon & this was present on mine as well.

Yeah. That definitely didn’t happen.

@@ShaftCommander who hurt you my dude

@@ShaftCommander What would I have to gain from lying about it? I don't care about internet likes, and if I did, I'd be spending my days reposting cat images on Reddit or something.

@@siilverREAL you know the person is a simpleton when they use that played out response. 😂🤡

VIP coming through

@@droomish1 Southern island latios carried me through much of the battle frontier. Calm Mind + Recover on a pokemon bulkier than alakazam is very powerful.

Latios is so busted at the BF 😂😂

WOW, this definitely warrants more research and a deep dive from me

you're so real for this

Uncancel shiney sploink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

​@@SleepyJuno he's sploinking

@@SleepyJuno Can you blame droomish? With all the whacky jank in these games, this is 100% believable.

God forbid strategizing 😮. I swear, every other comment is stupid.

@@JayceCH. Work smart not hard....I noticed that way back in the 90s. On the map there were two routes next to each other with no town or otherwise breaking them up. Found the border between both. Checked map saw the icone...moved once I saw them change. I knew then and there this is where I'll hunt them. Took way less time to get these than the originals in Red/Blue...

Use at least 5% Deet bug deterrent

And later i trade more with myself.
