Personal lore for this is that becoming a Pokemon Trainer became so popular that it led many Pokemon to become scarce in their natural habitat. Catching Pokemon yourself now requires a proper license and most routes are protected land so that the native species can thrive. Owning a Pokemon does not require one of these, but to remove them from their natural habitat you MUST be authorized by the Pokemon League to do so. Of course, the company behind Pokemarts immediately jumped on this and began selling Pokemon directly to trainers. Pokeballs used to be their best sellers, and after the heavy limitations on Pokemon catching, they found themselves dropping rapidly in profits. As evidenced by the casino, selling Pokemon has never been illegal, it was just always more profitable to sell the balls themselves and to allow trainers to do the work. Now that catching Pokemon requires extensive testing, training and licensing, very few people have access to actually catching Pokemon, and prices were able to be manipulated by their scarcity, allowing for prices to jump. The mart never stopped selling Pokeballs, they are just unauthorized to sell them to unlicensed trainers.
makes sense. there could also be a pollution problem in the pokemon world. no one ever picks up used pokeballs that fail to catch pokemon. think about it this way if there are pokemon trainers that go traveling around trying to catch 150+ pokemon each gen what would there average catch rate be. we can all just imagine how much wast there is from safari zones around the pokemon world. i have gone looking for pokemon in the safari zones before and have ran out of balls before catching anything. there could be giant piles of used and broken pokeballs every were in this pokemon hack. plus the chance that the pokeballs are made with cancer causing materials can make this a ecological disaster.
Pokemart Worker: What items do you want? Trainer: Some pokeballs. Pokemart Worker: What type? Trainer: I'll have some ultra balls. Pokemart Worker: No not what type of ball, what type of pokemon, do you want fire, electric, ice... Trainer: I think I'll just leave now...
I NEED to play this! As a kid, my first interaction with Pokémon was watching the show and seeing some girl pick up a Pokeball from a shop. So my childhood brain went, you get Pokémon by buying them! Now this has become a reality. I gotta try this.
Doesn't the interviewer effectively give you infinite money once you have Fly? Unless this game adjusted that. And you normally get Amulet coin after Norman. And you should have the ability to rematch by then as well
This just in, a mysterious, yet very charming trainer keeps beating up random wealthy citizens for money for well known scammers who sell innocent hostage Pokémon. More on hoenn news at 2.
8:24 First Mikey, now John talking about child labor Also I think John might’ve been given money from Team Sky, he ended the video with 3 flying types lol
You are underappreciateing Smeargle 12:43, it can learn any move by Sketch which is fun. Also, I would have gotten Articuno (my favorite Kanto Legendary Bird) instead of Shelgon.
Something that could be an interesting challenge run with this, assuming the mystery pokemon aren't the same every time: "I can only use mystery pokemon". If you use a random number generator to choose your starter then you can use it past the first gym (if you even want to do that), but besides that you can only use pokemon bought from the mystery pokemon man
You know this reminds me of how in the early design phases for pokemon you'd have to buy them from shops rather than catch them. Neat seeing how that might have played out in a rom hack.
5:31 🤣 out of context not only is this funny, but you literally did what dashiegames does during his videos where he says something and then goes “pause” from time to time, so this is just so funny! ^^

Love the video PM7! Never seen a pokemon game like this before, definitely might have to try it out! Also, please make a series with Mandjtv for Cobblemon! Leave a like if PM7 & Mandjtv should make a Cobblemon series!!
Now I really miss Battle Frontier style battles. This idea to me has those vibes. And if you ran it, people can buy pokemon at a Lilly Pan Shop (Lily pad and pon) A stretch I know
This is the most American Pokemon game I've ever seen, and yet funnily enough, buying Pokemon was originally planned when Red and Blue were first being developed
His 1M special has to be him doing a run with only Chingling and Chemecho, Mikey did a run with his least Favorite Pokémon Mitank so John should do the same
14:59 I'm absolutely such a devoted fan of this specific pokemon that your video in an instant went from good to great after you chose that particular team member!! That was money well spent for sure.

Hi Tyler!
Drake catching strays from NO where 😭💀
Hi tyler
Yo Tyler!!
Drake isn’t safe even from PM7
That's just how it is in gatcha. Sometimes you get a 5 star ultra rare shiny Gardevoir, sometimes you get a 3 stat common sunkern.
Personally I would've taken Zigzagoon for Pick-Up, easy, well easier, money. Then would've just hoped for a Meowth for Payday.
100% this. Pick up for the item spam
and the amulet coin
that would've been my FIRST move
Phanpy also has pickup, so he was almost doing that strat.
19:34 My favorite part of the video. I love when the plan said “It’s planning time” and started planning all over the place.
John: 'If I know anything about adults, they have money'
my broke ass barely scraping by day to day: 'ah damn it guess I'm not an adult...'
they have more money then literal children

You should have brought Igglybuff into the Elite 4. Get that return on investment.
Money is usually so trivial in Pokemon, so this idea is sick!
Just slap an Amulet Coin on one of your team and boom you're rich
@@RodimusMinor1987Plot twist: they removed amulet coin and pickup
@@blastmole299
Maybe they did
Needs money.
Skips the Zigzagoon which should have pickup.
PM7 Hurt itself in its confusion!
$15000 for a baby pokemon....that tracks (at least here in the states).
In the netherlands that is 10 or 5% of an car

Ik kan het weten broeder ;)
@@Pokemazdayoo i live in the netherlands too

Well yen is approximately 101× less than the dollar, so you could change this to $150.00
Maxie clearly fell for the same scam and got his togepi as mistery Pokémon 😂
12:48 Spiralling into a gambling addiction, classic video game stuff there
5:31 this truly is a great moment out of context
Man I'm realizing how much I missed the little animations when a pokemon is sent in...
11:23 "First it was butterfree and then it was a shiny and poof 15.000$ igglybuff " - PM7 2024. is my favorite part XD
Love how he unintentionally beat it with a half-Flying type team. Go Team Sky!🎉

4:53 did… did that guy just steal Roxanne’s Pokémon and sell it to John ? 😅😅😅
That's how I read the situation too...😅
the butterfree went from being female to male😂
He didn't steal it... She sold it, because it failed her for the last time 😂

I would love to play this romhack, have you found it yet? Understandable if you haven't.
@@gordontennyck1734 Sadly, nope. Not sure why the creator hasn’t released it for everyone.
It’s in the description of the creator and on the discord it says it won’t be public so we can’t play it sadly 😢
I wasn’t ready for the “PAUSE” joke. Had to desperately hold in my laughter so I didn’t wake the baby 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“You’re poor?” Is the funniest line in the video
You know what would be interesting? An only mystery Pokemon run in this. The only non-mystery Pokemon you would get to keep is your starter
1:06 Should've consulted Mikey before buying slugma😅
True
Guess John was too Fast on his decision making
14:09 I KNEW IT
Honestly Slugma didn't suck as bad in this video unlike he did in Mikey's HG no catching
He was too fast to make the descision
8:28 as an adult I can attest that no, we do not have money 😂
Doesn't the interviewer effectively give you infinite money once you have Fly? Unless this game adjusted that. And you normally get Amulet coin after Norman. And you should have the ability to rematch by then as well

Sad to hear that John and Kakuna are having relationship problems
22:01 don't call my boy an overgrown mushroom
If anything, the only mushroom that is overgrown (or at least feels like it) is Parasect (to me)

That 15k Igglybuff was the equivalent of James buying the Magikarp from that guy on the S.S. Anne.
“A mystery Pokémon.It could be anything! It could even be a good Pokémon!” Famous last words
i’m absolutely loving these romhack videos, but that’s not saying much when all of your content is top tier lol

"The Mystery Gift Pokémon definitely have a higher chance of being Shiny."
I dunno, you ARE PM7.
The nickname on that Jolteon is so good it should be illegal.
15000$ igglybuff carried this run 😂 this is a great concept, if this rom is available I'd like to play it sometime 😊
1:43 I love how John acts like a gold-digger in this clip lol.
“SIR I NEED A POKÉMON! I JUST STEPPED ON GRASS AND I ALMOST GOT MAULED BY AN URSARING!”
“Sorry kiddo, we sold out.”
“NOOOOOOOOO”

That Gail the Snail.
Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference.
Gotta love it.
I hope the download for this one is released at some point, it looks super fun to play.

"I need you to have all the money in the world, like all of it."
Me: chanting dragontini
Him: accidentally clicks on drgontini
Me: yippie
Can you release this to the Public? Looks super fun!
This is the most American Pokemon game I've ever seen, and yet funnily enough, buying Pokemon was originally planned when Red and Blue were first being developed
Someone call up Jack so he can come point and laugh at John paying 15000 for an Igglybuff
So money bags can't kill a spoink but a hariyama dies to money bags 😂
