      I'm currently doing a similar journey, however I am going back and doing it on every generation of the games including original releases and remakes.
      I am done red, almost done blue, and working on my living Pokedex in yellow.
      Just picked up gold and silver the other day and trying to hunt down a authentic copy of crystal for a reasonable price.
      Also need a copy of ruby, 2 copy's of emerald and a copy of leaf green.

    I feel your pain. I'm not doing the recording yet, but I am doing a masochist's living dex. Otherwise known as the Master Pokedex challenge by Bird Keeper Toby. I'm doing pretty good on it. I am technically halfway done, by which I mean I have at least caught over half of the required pokemon. However, I still have to evolve a good number and then transfer them to home. As far as a living national dex I am 61% caught, 55% evolved, and 47% Transferred

    Deep respect for this. I traded with myself with a LeafGreen last year, and got the Living Kanto Dex in the FireRed from my childhood. I know my limits, so my journey has already ended. The little video of the Living Dex, and the picture of the Kanto Certificate, which I shot on my phone, are some of my most treasured items and accomplishments in any video game. I'll definitely be checking your later videos of your own journey. It's going to be a while, I'm sure, but judging by this video alone, you'll make it very interesting as well.

    Also since I achieved a living dex here’s my advice:
    1: you can actually trade with fake games (fake bw/b2w2) meaning for the expensive hell of gen 4 and gen 5 as long as you have one legit game in each you can trade them
    2: Gen 5 and 4 games have a DNS exploit that allow you to access events to get them without an action replay…gen 5 is easier but it’s something
    3: I’m coming along for the ride, I support your cause and considering you’ve dipped really deep into getting a load of games for this I wanna see you go through. I believe in ya and now you got one extra person rooting for ya!

    Actually, the closest you can get to a time machine for many mythicals is the original distribution cartridges handed to GameStop/Toys R Us/etc employees by Nintendo that were used during the original events. These were SUPPOSED to be destroyed, but many were either smuggled out, actually destroyed but later repaired, or in the case of two events, literally heisted en masse from an old warehouse containing a ton of them and sold on the black market. These are hard to come by though, and some are quite expensive.
    I personally own 3, though I plan to track down and purchase more over time. Atm, I have the cartridges for the shiny legendary dog trio (also contains an unreleased Celebi event), Meloetta, and the Toys R Us Dragonite (not a mythical, but neat because it was set to level 50 as it was intended for competitive play, but actually ended up not being allowed in competitive as Dragonair doesn't evolve until level 55). I also tracked down an original Eon Ticket E-Reader card.
    I ended up acquiring all these because I, like you, felt a need for redemption in the form of a living dex. Several years back I had my entire collection stolen by an ex roommate. Every childhood Pokémon gone forever. I was depressed and stopped playing Pokémon entirely for some time, but eventually I started to rebuild my collection of games. Now that my collection is rebuilt to it's former glory, I still need to actually play through them and rebuild my Pokémon collection. But I wasn't satisfied with just a simple playthrough or even with my collection as it was. I decided that I would play the FULL experience of every generation. This meant every side game, accessory, or event I could possibly get my hands on. Everything from the Colosseum Bonus Disk Jirachi to the Pokémon Ranger Manaphy; from long gone GameStop events to hidden areas within the Poke'walker. It's been a long journey so far, and tbh, I've still barely scratched the surface, but I've learned an incredible amount about the franchise I had never known before, whether it's obscure glitches or even unreleased files hidden deep within distribution cartridges never intended for a player's hands. Even if it kills me, I'm gonna Catch 'Em All.

    Even though I had been playing Pokemon since it's first release complete the Pokedex felt like a dream I could never achieve. I never had the patience to fully complete the Dex.
    Back in 2014 I got back into Pokemon and made it my goal to complete not just the regional Dex,not just the national Dex,but to have one of every single Pokemon in order.They we're also releasing so many event legendaries during the time and decided it was now or never to finally complete that dream I had since red and blue.
    I started my new journey with a fennekin and it took me about two years from there of trading, replaying certain Pokemon games multiple times,breeding,and by postgame getting blissey bases in Omega Ruby to greatly speed up leveling,using the battle cafes in Pokemon X and Y.I used Pokemon Bank to help organize my boxes easily so by the end of my journey I had really organized pc with every Pokemon in order of Dex entry.
    It was extremely time consuming process I almost wanted to give up multiple times,but I pulled through and thinks to the events coming out at the time for all the legendaries.I managed for the first time to not only complete the Pokedex,but to have one of everything,and even had all the elusive Pokemon like mew,celebi,Arceus etc.It felt good getting the diploma and getting to gaze at my hard work. I also went back and completed the Pokedex in red.
    I will never attempt making a living dex in my life ever again though atleast I managed to mark it off my video game bucket list challenges. I don't have the patience anymore to complete the Pokedex nowadays much less another living dex.

    i've completed the living pokedex back in Gen VI in Omega Ruby. Though I haven't captured every pokemon in their original version (pokemon like combee, munchlax, feebas would prove to be too much trouble). I spent a lot of time reading bulbapedia to figure out the easiest place to get each species. So there were some games I didn't need to buy.
    I also didn't need an Action Replay for the mythicals. I used the DNS trick to connect to a fan-made server which gives all the mythical pokemon by reproducing the events exactly as they were back in the day.
    The most fun part of this project in my opinion was to play through all the games. Well most of them. Some of them I'd stop once I had all the pokemon unique to this version.
    Breeding was quite grindy. The worst part was doing all the evolutions with special conditions. The level up evolutions were easy with japanese secret bases in Omega Ruby, fighting three level 100 Blisseys at a time was kinda OP.
    Then a few months after completing the project, my Omega Ruby cartridge corrupted itself and is now unplayable, with all my pokemon stuck on it. So I restarted the project again, but stopping at Gen V this time, on Black 2 since It's my favorite pokemon generation ever and I don't really care for what's after.

For example, I need a Rattata from FireRed in a luxury ball, or a Wartortle from Alola in a lure ball, and so on. And they all need to have the all League Ribbons that are possible.

The original Magearna had a shiny and the red goes to black. Normal Magearna has a shiny but it was only available in home until the swsh dlc came out. It's just all a deep silver color with red eyes. There is no legitimate way to get a shiny Magearna.

    My brother played Pokémon Red fresh of the production line, he never did finish the game.
    He actually passed away a little while after buying it, a few weeks prior to being born.
    Obviously, I never got to meet him due to this. Though it did leave its mark on my older sibling, who then showed me how to play her games.
    Eventually when I asked for a Pokémon game of my own, my mother let me play me play my brother’s old game.
    I know it’s stupid but playing on that save file was just about the only thing I had that my brother ever touched. Looking back, it left its mark on me and I’ve since played almost every last Pokémon game that’s came out since.

    "Living dex with every Pokémon caught in the region they first appeared in" is exactly what I'm doing now. Currently on Gen 2, though I've done the prep for Gen 3. Fortunately, I have no intention of getting a living dex in each individual game, which I think gets out of hand fast, having to re-catch hundreds of Pokémon I already have. So living dex in Pokémon HOME seems like a not only a good compromise, but then catching them all actually goes somewhere beyond purely the individual copies of the games that you own.

    Ways to obtain most mythicals in a 'legit' enough of a way:
    Mew:
    -Virtual Console game games, Gen 1 you can use the famous mew glitch to encounter one and in gen 2 you can transform another pokemon of yours into a mew and just change its moves and bam, legitimate mew
    -Pokeball Plus - An unopened Pokeball plus will have the ability to gift you a single mew, only one per pokeball plus
    -BDSP - Mew is just kinda given to you as an in-game gift from some old couple if you have save data from a previous game
    -Pokemon Go - a lot of mythical can be caught from there and transferred up into Home after you do their mission quest things
    -Pokemon Emerald - Another cool glitch possible to do is in Emerald where you can go through a bunch of steps to eventually end up teleporting yourself to the island the mew event was in, by hatching a glitch egg
    -Gen 4 Wifi Exploit
    Celebi:
    -Virtual Console - You can get a celebi in the gen 2 games between two processes, either doing glitches to make a pokemon turn into a celebi, or just, beat the elite four in a copy of crystal virtual console, you get access to a celebi event when you do
    -Pokemon Go mission
    - Gen 4 wifi exploit
    Deoxys:
    -ORAS postgame event, you can just catch one lol
    -Emerald and FrLg - Same as the mew glitch in emerald, you can teleport yourself to the deoxys island, i believe the glitch works in Fire red leaf green too if you transfer over pomeg berries
    -Pokemon Go Raids, whenever they might show up back in them
    Jirachi
    -Pokemon Colloseum Bonus Disc, you get a free one by connecting your copy of Ruby or Sapphire
    -Pokemon Channel (PAL only) - Europe only game but you can get a gift jirachi from this and go through the same process as above
    -BDSP - You get Jirachi aswell from an old couple, ontop of the mew
    -Pokemon GO Mission again
    Manaphy/Phione
    -Pokemon Ranger, have an unused game and beat it, send manaphy egg over, hatch and breed it for phone
    -Legends Arceus - Event available in-game
    Shaymin
    - Void glitch in Diamond Pearl that'll let you clip through the game and make your way towards the shaymin event area
    -Legends Arceus - Event available in-game
    -GO Mission (Coming soon)
    -Gen 4 Wifi Exploit
    Darkrai
    -Void Glitch Aswell for Diamond and Pearl
    -Legends Arceus - Event available in-game
    -Pokemon Go - In raids whenever they are made available
    -Gen 4 Wifi Exploit
    Arceus
    -Void Glitch as well for Diamond and Pearl
    - Legends Arceus - Catchable after seeing every mon in your dex
    -BDSP - Obtainable if you have save data from Legends Arceus where you've done the above mission
    -Gen 4 Wifi Exploit , get the azure flute from this
    Meloetta
    -Pokemon Go Mission
    -Gen 5 Wifi Exploit
    Victini
    -Gen 5 wifi exploit, either get one from mystery gift or get the ticket in black and white and catch it in liberty island
    -Pokemon Go Mission

    I want to make a note though, there's two missions in Go that were available and if you have played in the past, you might have it?? But you one gave you hoopa and the other gave you zarude

    I really love the story telling of this video! It makes it feel so dramatic, also, I completely agree, mythical Pokémon are garbage, but with the gen 4 and 5 games, there is a way to obtain a good few of them using DNS! Not to mention the new bdsp and PLA games give you like 5 :> unfortunately I am missing Diance, Volcanion, Magerna and Zeraora which I just slightly missed the boat on 😅

    Excellent video. I like how dramatic you made this quest. :) I'm nearing the end of my 100% Crash Bandicoot series quest, and am keen to dive deeper into Pokemon. I also desire a living dex, and honestly am quite close on it, it's just not organised. But more so, I want to play the stories I never played. Mainly Gen 4 and 5.

    my journey to my own complete living dex was wild. i had a very eclectic series of games to work with: platinum, black, sun, ultra moon, and shield. but, through some combination of skill, patience and gts bargaining, i got it. there’s still a few mythicals that evade me, but i’ll get them someday. just you wait, marshadow, just you wait.

    i play pokemon since 1999 and yet, legends arceus was the first game that i've completed entirely. I came close to that back in 2014 with pokemon X. Back then i had 648 of 718 mons. And then i just lost interest in pokemon x and never touched it again until like a month ago when i booted up my old 3ds xl with x still in it. Now i have 2 pokemon games under my belt that i can call completed.

    Just imagine your earliest memory is with a Gameboy in your hand before even knowing what it is, and not maybe playing with parents. Still cooler than mine, mines being on a surgery table "eating" a banana flavoured surgical device. The modern world is crazy. Anyway this video is great. Mad production value.

    I am currently trying to complete a pokemon national dex myself and I realized that the final goal is pokemon home so I just catch lets say a kadabra in kanto then I transfer it into pokemon home. Then I trade it to a friend who has one of the switch games I have (I'll basically need all of the pokemon switch games so this is no big deal) and then it will evolve and then bring back into pokemon home.

    Im a bit late but you can still buy capture card install kits from optimize for about 120USD until recently a modder called merki did new nintendo 2ds xl installs now he only does og ds installs for the foreseable future.

    • @wolfduckworth4484
      @wolfduckworth4484  Год назад

      Yeah I’ve seen that recently. When I made this video it was late 2020 and the market was DEAD. Since then there’s like random bursts of availability from a few sellers, but I’m still happy with my 3DS it works great but I definitely wish it wasn’t $1200 🤤🤤
      A few months after this I had been sitting on a brand new super top tier PC with no GPU and had to bite the bullet and spend $1000 on a 2060…. It was a wild time.

    I like how now we have the trade evo’s wandering in the wild like sw/SH with alakazam or legends arceus with golem. And we also have mythicals we can get with legends and bdsp like arceus or darkrai

    Even if you somehow found your copy of FireRed, I'm pretty sure once you start it, you'd be greeted with a "corrupted save" because of the internal battery. Much like I was with my Pokemon Silver =/

    • @amaurapond
      @amaurapond 2 года назад

      FireRed and LeafGreen doesn't actually have an internal battery. I've got a copy of each. That's why you couldnt get espeon and umbreon without trading. It's only in R/S/E gen 3 games that have it.

  • @thomasvlekke5365
    @thomasvlekke5365 2 года назад

    In retrospect, I'm so happy and lucky to have been able to receive such a big amount of events. I have a shiny living dex all the way up to gen 5 (okay minus a few impossible ones but you get the point)
    And I'm on my way to getting the normal living dex up to gen 7. It's so much harder and special than just beating the games. And man I miss pokemon that are gone from gen 3 :( I was such a dumb kid looking back 😭

    My brother in Christ! I believe Loopy still sells 3DS capture cards, though he isn't finished his XL card yet. Also, I cringed when I saw the Action Replay lol! They're expensive and incredibly volatile little buggers! Pokemon fans have created something called the DNS exploit for DS games; you can access pretty much any event (including ones that haven't been officially released like Azure Flute for Arceus in DP) through connecting to a fan-made server! It also works for Black and White! *And it's free!* The only mythical that poses difficulty as far as I am aware would be Jirachi, though you could also use the Pokemon Colloseum Bonus Disc for that! I wanted to let you know because a) Action Replays really suck and yours may break before you're able to get what you need and b) I'm not sure if you will be able to transfer hacked Pokemon into Home. Technically, the ones from DNS are the legitimate events, they're just being broadcast outside of the event time (years ago). I hope I wasn't too late!!
    Either way, this was an awesome video and I look forward to watching through the rest of the series!
