i.e., if i catch any Pokemon, the chance that id get that exact PID was astronomically low. But the chance that I’d fulfill “astronomically unlikely event” is 100%.
With access to both the Aurora & Mystic tickets, as well as the infamous Roar glitch fixed, I’d say FireRed & LeafGreen on Switch are the definitive versions of the games to play.
I always thought how strange it was how few of the early pokemon games make it actually accessible to catch em all, minus event pokemon which were just straight up impossible half the time, you were really just supposed to have a dozen friends to help pre internet
The first two gens all you needed were 2 copies, Gen 3 was when that actually became a problem and the pokemon company dropped the “gotta catch em all” slogan in 2003 whenever Gen 3 got released
@JustLikeYou. Gotta Catch em All is an American slogan, it was never advertised in Japan. Also, if you had JP Blue and/or Yellow, you would need friends with both Red and Green/NA Blue to get everything in your copy, same goes for Gen 2 with Crystal. Speaking of Gen 2, you did actually need Gen 1 if you actually wanted every Pokemon, since mons like the Kanto starters and the Kanto Legends aren't available in any Gen 2 game, combine that with Crystal also requiring both versions, and you either need a *lot* of money or a lot of friends. John has video on the Gen 2 living dex, it's a great vid that shows why we need more rereleases like the VC Ports of Gen 1+2 and the Switch FRLG ports
@justinmclain1315take Kindle Road all the way up to Mt. Ember, scale to the top, and Moltres is at the summit. Believe you need a mon that knows strength to get all the way up top
didn't even show off the lil certificate the in-game dev characters give u 🥺 major props to finishing and editing this so fast btw!! insane turnaround time fr 🙏🏻
Gambling tip: Set a metronome on your pc or phone to 110 BPM. At any machine of your choice, start by spinning all three lanes. Count the moment you start spinning as beat 1, hit A on beat 2, 4 and the “and” of beat 5 (halfway between beats 5 and 6) More often than not you’ll see 1-3 7s on screen, ideally lining them up for the jackpot. Back out, move to another machine, rinse and repeat
They gotta pull some miracle to make Jirachi and Celebi obtainable. Outside of Japan, we only got Jirachi as a bonus disc pokemon and Celebi never had an event tied to it.
@MagnificentMiloticmy unrealistic ideal world would be Brand new events Like giving a Star piece to a rock or something And giving the GSball To celebi or better yet traveling back in time to catch celebi But reality is most likely Talk to the milkman who has celebi and Jirachi And get the old sea map after beating the league 😊
(18:51) Hey, if you could never use this song ever again, that'd be great 😅. I like it, but it's also my alarm in the morning. You handed me a flashbang.
"The passage of time is scary, and I don't wanna think about that, so I'm gonna make sure my rival reminds me everytime we meet by naming him the very thing I'm scared of". Same dude, same.
24:54 I wonder if people know that the origin of that emote is very advertiser-unfriendly and is involved in *gently gasps* a swear. I wonder if they'd be willing to not care, for the first time in a long time.
@BubbleWantsYouToBeHappyThey didn't even fix the game breaking glitches like item duplicaton and Pokémon with the mail... There are FireRed and LeafGreen hack rooms that fixed that without having the source code and are completely free, while the fucking multi-million dollar company with the game's source code doesn't. They dont fix bugs and charge you $20 for the bare minimum effort. I'd rather buy Silksong lol
@Quilava-np8wjLet's hope they don't cancel the implementation of Pokémon HOME because of the Pokémon duplication glitch. If they don't fix that, it's going to be complete chaos.
9:32 My gift egg Wynaut in my original Pokémon Ruby was shiny and yeah just my original childhood, casual playthrough, full odds, so I know it can happen 😊

Subscribe if you'd like me to make 'How Many Kangaskhan Will John Fail in the LeafGreen Safari Zone on Pokemon Day' a yearly event!
Joke's on you, I was already subscribed. :)
You failed none this year, you were playing Fire Red
kangaskhan kinda bad iykwim
Don't forget about the national dex.
Mew
Editing this so quickly is more impressive than completing the dex that quickly
Well 151 isn’t really that much
It is with all the rare encounters, high level evolutions, and the other crap
@MarkBare-x4g he’s just complimenting how fast he edited the vid 🙏
Right?!
@MarkBare-x4gyou cant be serious
The likelihood of 7 meowths in a row is insane. Literally a 0.00128% chance, 9.5 times lower than getting an ancient odds shiny.
True but also Texas Sharpshooter; the combined odds of all similarly valued patterns at a similar rate are quite high.
i.e., if i catch any Pokemon, the chance that id get that exact PID was astronomically low. But the chance that I’d fulfill “astronomically unlikely event” is 100%.
@rabbitnine-s2zwhat the hell does PID mean
@MartinAguirre-314player ID
its callled a loop trap, if he fainted the second one it would have broken the loop.
12:20 I can't believe the answer wasn't dancing shiny Cleffa, I feel robbed
Likewise
RIGHT?!? XD
Dude same.
This was such good part I’m literally ROFLING
oh, I see where all the Meowth I needed to catch came from
The cat distribution system said yes
Does this guy even sleep🤣 how did he get this done so quick lmao
Two days of streaming and the 1st stream was 18 hours straight😂
Sleep fears him
You send a video to an editor…?
@l@luizgustavo1278You sound really smart
It's kanto and people have played these 100s of times, easiest game by far to finish the dex.
15:26 the first thing the doctor said when i was born
Lmao
man 😂😂😂
Bro 🤣
Fantastic comment
I was not expecting that 🤣
Lets go! Can't believe you are the first person to beat fire red AND leaf green!
Say that again...
..... Hold up!
Let's go? Is that a... Kanto reference??? OoO
With access to both the Aurora & Mystic tickets, as well as the infamous Roar glitch fixed, I’d say FireRed & LeafGreen on Switch are the definitive versions of the games to play.
The Legendary Beasts still have atrocious IVs though
And also you can't complete the national dex, at least right now
@Joel97_Doesn't matter. They'll only be used in Champions at best, which will set all IVs to max anyway.
@AstroBladeZ
Until Pokemon Home is made compatible, and when Ruby Sapphire & Emerald are inevitable released on Switch.
pokemon home transfers will be one way again so you really do have to just hope they'll add the hoenn games too
The Kangaskhan arc was my favourite!
Cool to see two great Poketubers interact! Hope you’re having a good day Patt!
why this video lowkey got me nostalgic, i swear bro did the old johnstone voice in the voiceover
The fact that Johnstone has willingly spent over 500 hours on JUST GAMEPLAY for a video proves how goated he is
My first thoughts to seeing this video was "Of course he did"
21:30 lord helix will not stand for the disrespect
1:50 he lost the battle btw
Omga lol

@JustLikeYou.Yeah, gen 3 "gotta own 6 games and a GameCube."
well yeah, back then playing pokemon games was supposed to be a social experience
@JustLikeYou. Gotta Catch em All is an American slogan, it was never advertised in Japan.

This video was filmed and edited literally hundreds of times faster than the ZA Shiny professor oak video…
“Only functional game corner on the Switch 2”
Said like you’re even missing out on that much lol
Johnstone literally experiencing the Ash Ketchum Safari Zone ummm experience.
3:30 did he say pickle? Brother that’s radio
no thats pickle chu
I heard pickle and got deviljo ptsd flashbacks
The devil works hard but Johnstone works harder
I would have put Dratini in the daycare when i first got it
Did you not know that you could try for Moltres during your first visit to One Island with Bill? Because you can.
How? I just got there
@justinmclain1315just.... go up to moltres....
@justinmclain1315Surf up to Mt. Ember and work your way through until to find Moltres at the top
@Supertoddy96Where is he tho. Ive never found moltres on one island just victory road
@justinmclain1315take Kindle Road all the way up to Mt. Ember, scale to the top, and Moltres is at the summit. Believe you need a mon that knows strength to get all the way up top
13:03 adef would like a word
Adef a goat in both fields
11:18 how did he do this
1:29 I read the chat message saying about Wii disc drive and now I can't unsee it
No
🎵Johnstone streams,
By a big Nintendo Wii,
Big Nintendo Wii,
Big Nintendo Wii🎵
(To the tune of "Yellow Submarine")
LOLL
2:12 goated sister
I literally paused the video and audibly said "awww, that's so cute" (I'm watching this with my dog lmaoo)
1:04 The flow of calamity is not a force of good nor does it care about evil
4:38 i wont stand for this blasphemy
Dropped this perfectly in time for me to eat lunch, LFG
FRLG (for real let’s go)
6:12 this is just the game telling you to run 6 Meowths in your party 😂
21:18 Wow, lord helix non-believers in 2026, you hate to see it xD
30 seconds ago is crazy
Thank you for telling which fossil you took. As you knew otherwise we’d ask. Infact, it’s good we ask anyway, it’s good for the RUclips algorithm
didn't even show off the lil certificate the in-game dev characters give u 🥺
major props to finishing and editing this so fast btw!! insane turnaround time fr 🙏🏻
19:10 Ah, Filler Text is my favorite move.
The One Video we’ll get in 2026, let’s goooooooooooo
Knew it was just a matter of time before John tackled this particular Pokedex, and I'm not disappointed!
11:47 THE famous Kangaskhan incident of Pokémon Day 2/27
3:10 Me too! 😂😂
14:28 "Unlike any other region" and Hoenn is RIGHT there
How quickly Lord Helix seeps from memory...
But he will return.
7:12 7:16 “you know why” and “mark’s got a licki tongue” in chat is wild💀
No shinies but still a 11/10.
21:24 Imagine telling God he's not important
19:10 i see you john, i see you :)
Yup, the mental illness colors
We have Wolfey and his trans rights Amoongus, now Johnstone and Articuno
I'm guessing the next one is going to be...Lairon.
@nutnut6161 Leave this particular reply section please :)
1:04 thats the wonder... the wonder of you
7:09 great name for a Lickitung to be fair I don’t find it weird at all.
12:19 This is why I hate catching Kangaskhan in every safari zone.
Wait, so if you own both games on the same console, they can trade with each other? That's super cool actually!
12:22 I remember that pain when I was trying to complete the Dex for fire red
1:23 John, you too will be 30 this year
I.....I will be 30 this year.....
Same here. My wife remembers me every day
I'm 36. I was 6 when Pokemon debuted...
27:49 Mew: Am i a joke to you?
the DISRESPECT to my man Lord Helix
19:10 NICE TRANS FLAG HELL YEAH

Thx, now i can buy firered!!
7:11 sphere in french 😅
6:24
Do do do meow
🐱
21:22 You will not disparage ALMIGHTY HELIX!
16:33 that’s EXACTLY what I used to do in silph co
It's the catch em all all over again
12:19 Watch, as the wild Johnstone shows great excitement at the prospect of his favourite prey, a Kangaskhan.
How much you wanna bet that
Ruby/Sapphire hell emerald even will have the other mythical Pokémon distributions
If they do then Mew will become a legitimate shiny hunt.
They gotta pull some miracle to make Jirachi and Celebi obtainable. Outside of Japan, we only got Jirachi as a bonus disc pokemon and Celebi never had an event tied to it.
@MagnificentMiloticthey put the GS ball in Crystal on the DS. So its pretty likely
@MagnificentMiloticmy unrealistic ideal world would be
Brand new events
Like giving a Star piece to a rock or something
And giving the GSball
To celebi or better yet traveling back in time to catch celebi
But reality is most likely
Talk to the milkman who has celebi and Jirachi
And get the old sea map after beating the league 😊
21:22 I love Omastar though ☹️
(18:51) Hey, if you could never use this song ever again, that'd be great 😅. I like it, but it's also my alarm in the morning. You handed me a flashbang.
Ice Path as a morning alarm is wild
@fatcatfroggie It used to be a ringtone, but I found it rather annoying outside of moderation. Hence it becoming an alarm.
6:10 homeboy playing mewgenics
6 balls to catch Zapdos is HILARIOUS after it took Arlie like two hours to catch it on Saturday lmao
DROP EVERYTHING JOHNSTONE UPLOADED
26:04 listening to this at 2X Speed so I can have the old poke rap back
It's physically impossible to complete the national dex in this game because Celebi was Japan only in Gen 3 lmao
"The passage of time is scary, and I don't wanna think about that, so I'm gonna make sure my rival reminds me everytime we meet by naming him the very thing I'm scared of". Same dude, same.
19:11 those colors... they look familiar... :3
0:10 KOMALA IN THE BACK GROUND LETS GOOOOOO!!!!
I LOVE KOMALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can someone explain why we can’t sort our pokemon in Home
There should be an option that allows us to select the boxes we need sorted. This shouldn't be hard to implement for a multi billion dollar company
20:08 "CHAMPION TIME" Ok Leon
Me: "I can't believe you bought these overpriced ports"
John: "Thanks to Nintendo for sending me a free copy"
Me: "Ahhh that makes more sense."
if you can't believe the guy who plays pokemon for a living would be willing to spend $20 on these games your mind is very interesting
@Jesse1sBored He already owns the games... they're not new... he starts the video showing his original copy!
@PlatinumAltariaand now he’s making a video on the switch versions lol. Not a hard concept to understand
@Bear0601 There isn't a "Switch version", it's an emulated port. I think it's you who's confused.
For those interested, the chance of seeing 7 Meowths in a row on route 6 is a whopping 0.06%
21:24 don’t you dare talk bad bout lord helix
24:54 I wonder if people know that the origin of that emote is very advertiser-unfriendly and is involved in *gently gasps* a swear. I wonder if they'd be willing to not care, for the first time in a long time.
this guy paid 20 bucks for a game you can play on literally anything lmao
13:03 - Pokemon Math RUclipsr Adef just had a shiver and has no idea why.
HONK
(I was first, beefy eat your heart out)
honk indeed
HONK
Here's to hoping we get Emerald on the Switch here soon so we can get Umbreon and Espeon to actually finish the national dex
Bro really wasted 40 bucks on this garbage...
Physical copies are 300 dollars
5:44 Johnstone is Crazy Cat Lady Confirmed
7:36 You were doing what to yourself???
Lord Helix will always be important.
0:34 thanks godness he did not pay the 20 xD
I gladly paid 20 for a copy
It is not that serious dude
@BubbleWantsYouToBeHappyThey didn't even fix the game breaking glitches like item duplicaton and Pokémon with the mail...
There are FireRed and LeafGreen hack rooms that fixed that without having the source code and are completely free, while the fucking multi-million dollar company with the game's source code doesn't. They dont fix bugs and charge you $20 for the bare minimum effort.

Heartgold soulsilver music gets me so emotional
the genwunners are feeling so validated rn,good for them
Sevii is such an ingenious name. Seven + Vii (the Roman numeral for Seven)
9:32 My gift egg Wynaut in my original Pokémon Ruby was shiny and yeah just my original childhood, casual playthrough, full odds, so I know it can happen 😊
6:10 that's a 0.06434% chance you did that. Still better odds than finding a shiny tho.
9:42 there’s a rare candy in one of the plants by the stairs
What is going on guys, his name is John
why is this just now making me realize the 3 legendary birds have uno dos tres in the name, and WHY has no one told me this
i graduated High School in 2005..... *TIME*
Forgot to mention to get Lapras while at Silph Co.
Seeing the master ball get used on Mewtwo in this game kinda hurts lol since those Johto roamers are out there
