For those who are probably wondering, I definitely am working on the G/S/C catch 'em all. Those videos take a really long time to plan out and edit, but it's on the way. Also it was like 8 AM when I recorded my part so I know I look very tired. Enjoy! :)
"Nobody cared about EVs or IVs" I see you were a very different child from me. Occasionally I wake up in the depths of the night, drenched in sweat, vague nightmarish memories of endlessly biking past route 117 checking for eggs, futility climbing a sandpile in the desert to hatch them, eliminating the entire Whismur population of Rusturf Tunnel flashing through my mind, before slowly, my pounding heart settles again and I remember that it is no longer 2002.
I feel your pain, brother. The atrocities I have committed against the Spinda of route 113 and the Magikarp of 119 are unspeakable. Not only have I brought about the near extinction of entire species but I have greatly upset the ecosystem of both eastern and western Hoenn in my blind genocidal frenzy. It just seemed... justified at the time, you know? The flashbacks are so vivid. Only by breeding countless Spinda and Magikarp and releasing them in their natural habitats can a monster like me ever hope to atone for his sins.
While the zigzagoon with extremespeed may seem rather useless, I REALLY wanted it as a kid. You can get some insane damage between belly drum (maxes out the user's attack) and extremespeed (high damage + priority + STAB). It seemed pretty broken. Nowadays, iirc, you can get extremespeed on your linoone other ways. But before then, this was it.
I love this game. Recently hatched 1499 Pichu to get my surfing Pichu. Not the ideal way to do it, but once you have a full box, you can actually get multiple reward eggs by transferring all the boxed Pokemon to a new cart, and transferring them back. Good video though, thanks for covering it! Also, another good way to get loads of cash is to battle Gabby and Ty over and over. You don't have to pay as much attention as you might with the Elite Four. You can battle them indefinitely, and eventually they stop moving around, making it a lot easier. It's also easy to setup a one hit double KO on them, netting you about 8K per battle (with Amulet Coin), with each battle taking about 30 seconds or so.
@@JosephHilton the only way aside from cheats, I guess, and I guess having a unique move on such a weak basic Pokémon is just silly. It’s how rarity works with our mind!
@@SupernaturalMonkey This video made a mistake in assuming the PAL version is as rare and as valuable as the US version. It's not. They sold that in regular stores in PAL regions. You can often find copies of Pokemon Box PAL even online for roughly $10-$20 dollars.

@@bunnyofepicness I have never seen this game in pal in actualy stores my entire life and I live in Europe. And the game has atrocious numbers attached to it. 200? 300? 500? Even one thouand once.

@@abarette_ What? How does that make any sense? What does that have to do with you replying to an old comment that really doesn't mean anything anymore?
I purchased this game at the Pokemon center store in NYC back in December of 2004 right before it closed for remodeling. I remember grinding to catch pokemon with my brother using our copies of ruby, sapphire, fire red, and leaf green to fill all the boxes for the surf pichu. I still have the disc. Also Johnstone you forgot to mention the surf pichu/pikachu/raichu easter eggs in Pokemon Colosseum and XD. I will say I am still pissed you can't transfer pokemon with HM moves. I have to listen to people try to tell me all the time that you could only get a Pikachu that knows surf in gen 1. They're wrong. TL;DR you forgot to mention the Easter eggs in Pokemon Colosseum/XD.
@@rinrin2195 It's technically possible depending on the extent of internal component damage. In my experience Nintendo's products are actually very tough so your best bet is to let it dry out as long as possible and not turn it on until it's completely dry. I'm not sure what their warranty covers if you can't get it working, but there may be mom and pop electronics shops near you that can do the repairs since it's usually just some blown capacitors (assuming it's not in warranty). You can also purchase replacement parts on ebay and other sites if you look around.
Very happy I bought this when it came out. Breeding Magikarp from 2 different games in Emerald with Flame Body is really the fastest way, same with Pokemon Ranch. You don't need to "catch" the pokemon you just need to put them in the game.
A hight rate encounter, thanks a lot Gamefreak. Makes sense, now. Since Poke Box Bank for Gamecube was out for S/R they wanted the 500 deposit challeneg easy for us. I did not have a clue this Poke Box Bank existed at that time. I had Sapphire and Emerald.
I can definitely say that Pokémon box is NOT hard to obtain in Europe. You can get the disc for like £10 on ebay and they're everywhere. A while back I attempted to get a living dex of the first 3 gens using only gen 3 games (GBA/GCN) and Pokémon Box is the perfect game to store them on. The only issue is it only works with your region's carts so my Japanese copy of Leaf Green can't transfer. Luckily I can trade them across to another game and store them that way. Also, fun fact. Did you know you can use other Gamecube games to obtain Celebi and Jirachi? Unfortunately Mew and Deoxys are impossible to get legit nowadays on GBA.
Pokemon Box is language locked, so if you have a US version of RSE or FRLG, it will work perfectly well with a PAL version of Box. For the people in US, it is probably cheaper to buy a PAL Gamecube and Box than an NTSC-U Box for your old Gamecube.
Ikr I got mine for 11 euros for just the disc the site I got it from didnt have a box at the time and they would have cost 33 euros with box so Im fine with just the disc
I use Pokemon Box. It's great because you can transfer boxes of Pokemon at a time between games which saves a shit ton of time. It's also really great for storing all the Pokemon in the National Dex. What you can do is catch all the Pokemon once and have them organised on Box then for any game you want to you can transfer them all to have an instantly completed National Dex. FYI an English copy is only worth around $50 so it's certainly affordable for most people. Only worth it though if you're a serious Gen. 3 fan like me.
Kururu-chan you can play those. There are different requirements though for example to use emerald you have to have the national dex. Have 100 different Pokémon caught. And save in a poké center.
He probably means play the actual game on it. You can actually play the full Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire game on there if you own it. You cant play FR/LG/E on there you can just use them with the box feature
I've had Pokemon Box for over 10 years now and I never knew you could use it as a GameBoy Player for Ruby and Sapphire. I've been able to play Ruby and Sapphire on my TV for a decade and I never even realized
I know it's been 3 years, but the explanation for only Ruby & Sapphire being playable on the game is because the Roms for both are installed on the disc, and the cartridge is just the Key that lets you play them once your save is flashed
Pokemon Box wasn't even the "first" idea of a big pokemon bank like system. The Pokemon Stadium Games had also a ton of extra space for gen 1 and 2 pokemon games
I was thinking the same. You can even store items, trade Pokémon, use a 3D Pokédex and play your Game Boy games with turbo. The Stadium games were superior...you even had Mystery Gift on Stadium 2 lol.
I've always lived in the New York Tri-State Area, so I was able to get a copy of Pokémon Box for myself pretty easily at the time of its release. I only went as far as to get the Zigzagoon egg, but I do remember at least enjoying its presentation and the HD (for the time) versions of the music tracks from R/S/E included in the game (even if they felt a bit off-putting and unnerving with how squeaky clean those synths sounded). The biggest thing about this to me though was how much it reminded me how much I miss the Pokémon Center. Sure, Nintendo World is...nice, I guess, but the Pokémon Center went all-out with everything there. They had figurines and Pokémon plushes the likes of which I never saw anywhere else and haven't seen since. They even had a kiosk during the promotional cycle for G/S/C where you could download rare and unique Pokémon to your games (making this the only time I ever legitimately obtained an officially released Celebi, among other cool things). The area where that kiosk was? There's nothing there now, it's just an empty space with a circle on the ground, an obvious remnant of where something once was, now left lifeless and ignored. It's honestly very upsetting to me, as silly as that may seem. This was a big part of my childhood and I miss it so much.
I imagine that since Pokemon Colosseum was compatible with both Gen 3 games (FireRed/LeafGreen and Ruby/Sapphire) that the bundle was included for this purpose. You'd want the link cord if you didn't have one so you could connect those games and adding in Pokemon Box for storage made that bundle even better. So it was really intended for GBA + Pokemon owners and not so much just Gamecube owners.
You used to have to jump through so many hoops to get a surfing Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu. Now you can just use a Technical Record to teach any Pikachu the move Surf. I appreciate the convenience, but it also makes stuff like this… retroactively painful.
Thanks for another great one man! And also I understand how yah feel as a fellow 90’s kids, been playing Pokémon for 20 years lol I miss the days you just played caught them and traded to fill the Pokédex lol still the same concept but you know what I mean, simpler days. You inspired me to finally beat gen 1 and I am currently sitting at 120 of 151 lol then I’m tackling gen 2.
Hey, Belly Drum + Extremespeed Linoone was very known competitive build for Linoone, which makes it a very valuable Linoone, considering Box as you said is rare.
"The *original* Pokémon Bank" - no it isn’t, Pokémon Stadium is! You could store your Pokémon from Red/Blue/Yellow on the N64 cart. It’s how I was able to get all the Eevee evolutions and both fossil Pokémon in the game. Saved all Pokémon to Stadium then start a new game, and transfer everything back.
The funny thing about the pokemon with special moves is that ultra sun and ultra moon made box completely useless. Ignoring the swablu and the skitty with garbage new moves, the only useful ones would be the zigzagoon with ES (which was actually made an egg move in US/UM) and the pichu with surf (if you do the mantine surf in US/UM, you basically just have to surf a bunch to get a pikachu with surf). This is all without trading to the current games. However, at the time, this was great.
Surfing Raichu is amazing and insanely useful in the Competitive Meta. Yeah you can't have a Raichu with Volt Tackle & Surf but that's alright. Thunderbolt, Surf, Hidden Power (Ice or Grass), Brick Break (or Focus Punch if you can predict your opponent switching to a Blissey/Snorlax/Tyranitar) is a good enough moveset to help out your team. That Surfing Pichu egg is extremely valuable in Gen 3
Here in England we had to get it with Nintendo stars on the stars catalogue... I still have mine. Though I have just read we got the bundle too, but I never saw it. It probably only lets you play R/S on it as they'll be the only roms on the disk as they'd have been the only versions out at the time. I'm just glad they future proofed the box system, unlike the awful Pokemon ranch... Pokemon box really helped me fill my national dex.
Holy shit my friend had the box I remember being a kid bringing my gba and emerald to his house and being amazed how I could play it on the tv this is so cool
Lol I literally just made this comment. I remember putting my Pokémon on one save in storage on the n64 cartridge, starting a new save, and bringing it over thinking that would cause the trade evos to work; but alas that was all for not. Still had a really strong Haunter though
Just a fun reminder that Pokemon Stadium and Stadium 2 2 also had a storage system. While you could freely deposit Pokemon in both and freely withdraw in Stadium 1, but there were requirements to withdraw them in Stadium 2. For RBY, the only requirement was that, like the Time Machine trades, the Pokemon be a Gen 1 Pokemon and have no Gen 2 moves. For GSC, if the trainer IDs don't match, you had to have at least 150 Pokemon registered as caught in the Pokedex. This is very annoying if you were planning on using it to complete the dex on one version but only had 1 Gameboy, no link cable, and/or only 1 transfer pack.
They really should make an exception to allow transfering a surfing Pichu/Pikachu. I have one stuck in Soul Silver because I don't wanna delete the thing that makes him special (Surf). At least he can keep Spiky Ear Pichu company.
I certainly was lucky when i found the "Not For Resale" copy of Pokémon Colosseum back in 2011, which also had this one with it, although sadly no manual for that.
The Stadium 1 and 2 Gameboy Towers, as well as the PC in Prof. Oak's lab, could be considered precursors to even this game. Granted, transferring a Pokemon from Stadium 2 to a G/S/C game pak with a different ID from the game it was obtained in has the requirement of 150 Pokemon being registered on the recipient gen 2 game, but it can still be considered better than the time taken for batch trades (either in the GBC games, or via the trade machine in Prof Oak's lab of Stadium 2).
Pokémon Box can only play Ruby and Sapphire because it has the ROMs already on the disc. The transfer speed of the GC Link cable in pretty slow, so you would have to wait a long time for it to transfer the ROM from your cartridge. Also PBox was released in Europe translated into English, Spanish, French, German and Italian, so yeah, the game wasn't available only in Japanese and English. Btw, PAL versions of Pokémon Box go for around 30 € (35 $) and they should be compatible with the american GBA games. You would need to find a way to bypass the console's region lock to play it, but even then it is substantially cheaper then buying an american PBox.
well until usum, this was the only 100% legit way to get an extreme speed linoone in gen 6 and sun and moon(unless you know someone who got the one from the japan only event and had a good nature and were willing to give you their only one). if you got a good nature on that zigzigoon transfer it to gen 7 ev train it. level it to level 100 iv train it, teach it belly drum, some other moves, and then one of those 1/2 health recovery berries, bam competitive ready extreme speed linoone.(although still not a great mon, it has a unique niche/gimmick).
@@SerDerpish There's a mechanic in Gen 7 where you can "Super Train" a Pokémon to have an IV be treated as maxed out, but not changing the IV value per se which means Hidden Power calculation is unaffected.
Idk if anyone may have said this before, but this idea goes back all the way to the Pokémon Stadium N64 games, not the GameCube Pokémon Box. The Stadium games allowed you to store, trade, and battle Pokémon ; but otherwise the video was enjoy and still very informative.
For future Gen 3 money farming endeavours: Theres a trainer on route 104 who gives 15k prize money with Amulet Coin an his pokemon always has a Nugget you can steal. He will always fight again after 100 steps in Rustboro.
I bought my copy of Box for about $90 AUD and regularly see it go for up to $30 cheaper than that and this is for the Australian version. Interesting that other versions go for so much more
Remembering playing ruby back in the day on my gba, every time I defeated the elite four, there were several trainers in the game that would reset and allow you to rebattle them. There were a few “rich boy” trainers that paid big with the amulet coin that I would always go rebattle.
I feel like it says a lot that I’ve watched this video in its entirety and there’s still a massive part of my brain that says… this looks like something fun to do
If only I knew how rare it would be, when I was younger I went to a GAME store to get Colosseum but inside was the disc for box so we went back another day for colosseum 😭
Ayyy i member the pokemon center before it became the nintendo center. It actually had a pokeball over the entrance and the color scheme of the in-game pokemon center was great
Man this video bring back some memories I had one of those I also remember I had an orange GameCube back in the good old days I would do anything to relieve the early 2000s:)😌
And before Box R/S you could store pokemon on your Stadium/2 carts and then on Wii My Pokemon Ranch allowed you to store pokemon on the Wii so a Bank like experience has been available for almost the entire existence of pokemon
"...you'd be an idiot t- OK so I'm currently playing my copy of sapphire and I've collected all the repeat balls I need to catch every single one" 🤦♂️😂😂😂
I was give a copy of pokemon box and super monkey ball from a friend who bought it at a flea market. She bought it for a cheap price and i didn't even know how valuable it was until now.
I actually have an EU version of this game, it came with a NGC bundle as a kid, used it a couple of times and didnt think much of it - I didn't realise it was so rare haha
Erm Pokemon Stadium (2 in japan, dunno if 1 could) allready let you manage your RBY cardridges and and store pokemon on the n64 game. It was the major way of organizing tms as well, considering you could dupe them in R/B then store 99 of each on the n64. Stadium 2 did the same for G/S, dunno if it was still compatibvle with R/B/Y, but it most likely was.
dammit I could have used this as a kid had I knew about it!! I only had one friend who liked Pokemon (my cousin) so other thin him, I had no one else to "I catch them all" with
Honestly it is pretty niche. I feel this is like a bank and trading system for a friend group without link cables. Like you mentioned you had 4 games of the five and that’d fill about 600 Pokemon. Assuming it’d be 150 per game roughly, the fifth copy would approximate you with about 750 Pokemon. If you had a friend with the same five games, you could easily fill those 1500 slots. However, that’d assume you have one friend with 5 games. More realistically though, if you had 4 friends, each of you having two games (let’s assume ruby and sapphire when this first came out, or 1 hoenn 1 kanto for later) then you’d fill out about the same amount. But I mean at that point one of you has to have a link cable, but I could see this as a sort of way to put Pokémon up for trade in a small group. Like, having a notebook to take notes of who wants what. That’s just my idea on how this game probably could have been used back in the day
That Zigzagoon with Extreme Speed is actually super amazing an rare at this point. It's the only way to make Linoon viable in competitive. I was building a competitive team and planned on using one until I realized it's virtually impossible to get at this point
Damn those pokemon rewards were so bad :/ IN my pokemon Ranch for the wii, I ended up buying it because i actually filled up every single box slot on diamond, as i was breeding for some strong pokemon. I bought it to fill it up with 200 bulbasaur and growlithe and stuff, and the final reward for playing that game, which also helps you complete your pokedex, is a mew!
Wireless battles and trading made things effortless to stay in another spot. I would be at the kitchen and my cousin in the living room and we still had strong connection. Any who, those days changed for the best.
I started 2 playthroughs of Firered and Ruby a while back. And my plan was to catch all Pkmn over all the games I have, all the way to Shield. I stopped so far and wanted to start over. I guess a pichu with surf has given me the drive to do it once more...
Is it possible to get multiple of the same egg through deleting the save file on the memory card and repeatedly sending Pokemon in (obviously more for the earlier eggs than later ones)?
You need to reset the GBA carts too, but yeah. You can get them as shiny by trading them to other carts than they were meant for as the shiny lock is pretty poor. So it is possible to get these shiny egg pokemon with a bit of rng practice and farm them.
Regiultima all you have to do is remove 1 Pokémon from box then reset the system and add another Pokémon. This will give you another of the same egg. Ex: 1499 gets you picku with surf. Remove one. Reset add and repeat. For an endless supply.
I'd imagine the game could only play ruby and Sapphire if the disk had the roms on it and was just reading your save file from the gba. Also, I have this game. I remember asking my mom to order it for me because I planned on eventually getting a gamecube, and not ever even messing with it. It may even still be sealed. Gotta go look at my old house...
And here I was just HOPING you'd maybe get something fantastic as a prize, like a baby legendary, or even at least just a shiny, or a Pokemon with a rarer move than the whole "surf Pikachu" gag we've seen for years. We get it, he can surf sometimes. That's great. I wanna see my Sceptile learn surf instead, can we get something cool like that? No? Just reward this man with a Pichu and that's it? Alright then.
If anything, the surfing Pichu is at least a cute nod to the Pokemon Stadium trick to get a surfing pikachu for Yellow & its minigame. Still stinky rewards for what would be a lotta work even for 14 year old me.
Well you see. I almost did this, I took my old diamond, bought about 460ish pokeballs 10 at a time to get a premier ball every time. I got a sneasel with false swipe, and got to grinding, eventually found a shiny shinx! But since I had no clue how many pokemon you could fit in the pc I then played through pearl enough to afford those 460ish pokeballs and did it again. I did this to get the 1000 pokemon required to get Mew from pokemon Ranch.

Breeding Magikarp from 2 different games in Emerald with Flame Body is really the fastest way, same with Pokemon Ranch. You don't need to "catch" the pokemon you just need to put them in the game.
Did you pay $250 for this or are you one of those people i'll never understand who somehow didnt lose their childhood games
Ikr? Like i had a lot of gba games, and ds ones, but now i basically have none, because i sold them or lost them.
I share this pain, man 😂
$6 for a modchip and then a bit of soldering and you are set.
or 0$ for a modded wii, provided you already have a wii with gc support, an sd card, and the other gamecube stuff
Gábor Bozsó My mom used to throw all my game consoles out. I remember she threw out my N64 with Mario Party, Super mario 64, etc😒
The jumpcuts make me laugh so hard. Every time. I love your sense of humour
Need 1500 pokemon? Just catch 1500 spinda!
A hight rate encounter, thanks a lot Gamefreak. Makes sense, now. Since Poke Box Bank for Gamecube was out for S/R they wanted the 500 deposit challeneg easy for us. I did not have a clue this Poke Box Bank existed at that time. I had Sapphire and Emerald.
I can definitely say that Pokémon box is NOT hard to obtain in Europe. You can get the disc for like £10 on ebay and they're everywhere.
A while back I attempted to get a living dex of the first 3 gens using only gen 3 games (GBA/GCN) and Pokémon Box is the perfect game to store them on. The only issue is it only works with your region's carts so my Japanese copy of Leaf Green can't transfer. Luckily I can trade them across to another game and store them that way.
Also, fun fact. Did you know you can use other Gamecube games to obtain Celebi and Jirachi? Unfortunately Mew and Deoxys are impossible to get legit nowadays on GBA.
Pokemon Box is language locked, so if you have a US version of RSE or FRLG, it will work perfectly well with a PAL version of Box.
For the people in US, it is probably cheaper to buy a PAL Gamecube and Box than an NTSC-U Box for your old Gamecube.
Ikr I got mine for 11 euros for just the disc the site I got it from didnt have a box at the time and they would have cost 33 euros with box so Im fine with just the disc
You can get "legit" mew and deoxys with the pomeg glitch
What has the Celebi? I have Jirachi on disc already.
Ceielo Japanese Pokemon colosseum bonus disk
So THAT'S how you get Surfing Pikachu in Gen 3!
It's been bugging me for a while
was expecting a mew or some shit for that many...what even....
I honestly hope your channel grows especially now that you’ve added more character with your sarcasm
I use Pokemon Box. It's great because you can transfer boxes of Pokemon at a time between games which saves a shit ton of time. It's also really great for storing all the Pokemon in the National Dex. What you can do is catch all the Pokemon once and have them organised on Box then for any game you want to you can transfer them all to have an instantly completed National Dex. FYI an English copy is only worth around $50 so it's certainly affordable for most people. Only worth it though if you're a serious Gen. 3 fan like me.
You could have bred Pokemon instead and deposited the eggs. Saves the time to battle the E4.
The reason you can't play FR/LG/E on this? The game contains a ROM of Ruby and Sapphire.
Hack the shit out of it to include the FR/LG/E ROMs.
Kururu-chan you can play those. There are different requirements though for example to use emerald you have to have the national dex. Have 100 different Pokémon caught. And save in a poké center.
You can manage your Pokemon on those games, but you can't play the games themselves on the GameCube using Pokemon Box.
He probably means play the actual game on it. You can actually play the full Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire game on there if you own it. You cant play FR/LG/E on there you can just use them with the box feature
oh yeah, we love pokemon, and my favorite pokemon character is...
viewtiful joe, awwwww yeah.
I've had Pokemon Box for over 10 years now and I never knew you could use it as a GameBoy Player for Ruby and Sapphire. I've been able to play Ruby and Sapphire on my TV for a decade and I never even realized
Hey, that Zigzagoon is my absolute favorite Pokémon. It’s the reason I love Linoone so much.
You're nuts bro lol I don't know many other RUclipsrs that go through this much just to bring us a video. Love your content!
I know it's been 3 years, but the explanation for only Ruby & Sapphire being playable on the game is because the Roms for both are installed on the disc, and the cartridge is just the Key that lets you play them once your save is flashed
I used this game when I was a kid, but I only recently got the Surfing Pichu. I filled it with Magikarps
Oh, whoa. I didn't realize how rare this game was. Glad I bought a copy back in the day.
Pokemon Box wasn't even the "first" idea of a big pokemon bank like system. The Pokemon Stadium Games had also a ton of extra space for gen 1 and 2 pokemon games
I was thinking the same. You can even store items, trade Pokémon, use a 3D Pokédex and play your Game Boy games with turbo.
The Stadium games were superior...you even had Mystery Gift on Stadium 2 lol.
I've always lived in the New York Tri-State Area, so I was able to get a copy of Pokémon Box for myself pretty easily at the time of its release. I only went as far as to get the Zigzagoon egg, but I do remember at least enjoying its presentation and the HD (for the time) versions of the music tracks from R/S/E included in the game (even if they felt a bit off-putting and unnerving with how squeaky clean those synths sounded). The biggest thing about this to me though was how much it reminded me how much I miss the Pokémon Center. Sure, Nintendo World is...nice, I guess, but the Pokémon Center went all-out with everything there. They had figurines and Pokémon plushes the likes of which I never saw anywhere else and haven't seen since. They even had a kiosk during the promotional cycle for G/S/C where you could download rare and unique Pokémon to your games (making this the only time I ever legitimately obtained an officially released Celebi, among other cool things). The area where that kiosk was? There's nothing there now, it's just an empty space with a circle on the ground, an obvious remnant of where something once was, now left lifeless and ignored. It's honestly very upsetting to me, as silly as that may seem. This was a big part of my childhood and I miss it so much.
I imagine that since Pokemon Colosseum was compatible with both Gen 3 games (FireRed/LeafGreen and Ruby/Sapphire) that the bundle was included for this purpose. You'd want the link cord if you didn't have one so you could connect those games and adding in Pokemon Box for storage made that bundle even better.
So it was really intended for GBA + Pokemon owners and not so much just Gamecube owners.
Surfing Pichu? DUDE! Surfing Raichu would be amazing! It's just a shame we couldn't get Surf and Volt Tackle on it
You used to have to jump through so many hoops to get a surfing Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu. Now you can just use a Technical Record to teach any Pikachu the move Surf. I appreciate the convenience, but it also makes stuff like this… retroactively painful.
This got a mention in the NP Emerald Guide and I still remember being confused by the concept of storing dozens of pokemon in another game entirely.
Thanks for another great one man! And also I understand how yah feel as a fellow 90’s kids, been playing Pokémon for 20 years lol I miss the days you just played caught them and traded to fill the Pokédex lol still the same concept but you know what I mean, simpler days. You inspired me to finally beat gen 1 and I am currently sitting at 120 of 151 lol then I’m tackling gen 2.
Hey, Belly Drum + Extremespeed Linoone was very known competitive build for Linoone, which makes it a very valuable Linoone, considering Box as you said is rare.
"The *original* Pokémon Bank" - no it isn’t, Pokémon Stadium is! You could store your Pokémon from Red/Blue/Yellow on the N64 cart. It’s how I was able to get all the Eevee evolutions and both fossil Pokémon in the game. Saved all Pokémon to Stadium then start a new game, and transfer everything back.
That's OG as fuck.
“You know the 90’s were a really great time...”
Ruby and Sapphire were released in the 2000s.
The funny thing about the pokemon with special moves is that ultra sun and ultra moon made box completely useless. Ignoring the swablu and the skitty with garbage new moves, the only useful ones would be the zigzagoon with ES (which was actually made an egg move in US/UM) and the pichu with surf (if you do the mantine surf in US/UM, you basically just have to surf a bunch to get a pikachu with surf). This is all without trading to the current games. However, at the time, this was great.
Great video man, keep up the good work. I owned this game way back in the day, but sold it and I regret it considering how much its worth now.
“The most convenient, non-hacking source”
*PKSM*
Yes, PKSM is the best HACKING source, meaning through unofficial means.
But as he was talking about non-hacking...
PKSM is hacking
$250 dude I wish, just picked it up for $1600 and yea I’m never gonna let it leave the collection
Surfing Raichu is amazing and insanely useful in the Competitive Meta. Yeah you can't have a Raichu with Volt Tackle & Surf but that's alright. Thunderbolt, Surf, Hidden Power (Ice or Grass), Brick Break (or Focus Punch if you can predict your opponent switching to a Blissey/Snorlax/Tyranitar) is a good enough moveset to help out your team. That Surfing Pichu egg is extremely valuable in Gen 3
Here in England we had to get it with Nintendo stars on the stars catalogue... I still have mine.
Though I have just read we got the bundle too, but I never saw it.
It probably only lets you play R/S on it as they'll be the only roms on the disk as they'd have been the only versions out at the time. I'm just glad they future proofed the box system, unlike the awful Pokemon ranch... Pokemon box really helped me fill my national dex.
Holy shit my friend had the box I remember being a kid bringing my gba and emerald to his house and being amazed how I could play it on the tv this is so cool
OBJECTION!
Pokemon Stadium is the original "Bank" Box is just version 3.
I was hoping someone else was thinking that. I used Stadium for that very reason as well!
Lol I literally just made this comment. I remember putting my Pokémon on one save in storage on the n64 cartridge, starting a new save, and bringing it over thinking that would cause the trade evos to work; but alas that was all for not. Still had a really strong Haunter though
Just a fun reminder that Pokemon Stadium and Stadium 2 2 also had a storage system. While you could freely deposit Pokemon in both and freely withdraw in Stadium 1, but there were requirements to withdraw them in Stadium 2. For RBY, the only requirement was that, like the Time Machine trades, the Pokemon be a Gen 1 Pokemon and have no Gen 2 moves. For GSC, if the trainer IDs don't match, you had to have at least 150 Pokemon registered as caught in the Pokedex. This is very annoying if you were planning on using it to complete the dex on one version but only had 1 Gameboy, no link cable, and/or only 1 transfer pack.
One of the big benefits of this is mass transfer between the GBA games for dex completion instead of trading one at a time.
They really should make an exception to allow transfering a surfing Pichu/Pikachu. I have one stuck in Soul Silver because I don't wanna delete the thing that makes him special (Surf). At least he can keep Spiky Ear Pichu company.
I certainly was lucky when i found the "Not For Resale" copy of Pokémon Colosseum back in 2011, which also had this one with it, although sadly no manual for that.
Skitty is a 1% encounter, so that’s probably why they gave you that
The Stadium 1 and 2 Gameboy Towers, as well as the PC in Prof. Oak's lab, could be considered precursors to even this game. Granted, transferring a Pokemon from Stadium 2 to a G/S/C game pak with a different ID from the game it was obtained in has the requirement of 150 Pokemon being registered on the recipient gen 2 game, but it can still be considered better than the time taken for batch trades (either in the GBC games, or via the trade machine in Prof Oak's lab of Stadium 2).
Pokémon Box can only play Ruby and Sapphire because it has the ROMs already on the disc. The transfer speed of the GC Link cable in pretty slow, so you would have to wait a long time for it to transfer the ROM from your cartridge. Also PBox was released in Europe translated into English, Spanish, French, German and Italian, so yeah, the game wasn't available only in Japanese and English.
Btw, PAL versions of Pokémon Box go for around 30 € (35 $) and they should be compatible with the american GBA games. You would need to find a way to bypass the console's region lock to play it, but even then it is substantially cheaper then buying an american PBox.
well until usum, this was the only 100% legit way to get an extreme speed linoone in gen 6 and sun and moon(unless you know someone who got the one from the japan only event and had a good nature and were willing to give you their only one). if you got a good nature on that zigzigoon transfer it to gen 7 ev train it. level it to level 100 iv train it, teach it belly drum, some other moves, and then one of those 1/2 health recovery berries, bam competitive ready extreme speed linoone.(although still not a great mon, it has a unique niche/gimmick).
Dont forget it has to have gluttony as its ability.
I’m sorry, “iv train”? Pretty sure that’s not a thing unless they changed pokemon genetics since gen 5 (the last one I played)
@@SerDerpish There's a mechanic in Gen 7 where you can "Super Train" a Pokémon to have an IV be treated as maxed out, but not changing the IV value per se which means Hidden Power calculation is unaffected.
Idk if anyone may have said this before, but this idea goes back all the way to the Pokémon Stadium N64 games, not the GameCube Pokémon Box. The Stadium games allowed you to store, trade, and battle Pokémon ; but otherwise the video was enjoy and still very informative.
For future Gen 3 money farming endeavours: Theres a trainer on route 104 who gives 15k prize money with Amulet Coin an his pokemon always has a Nugget you can steal. He will always fight again after 100 steps in Rustboro.
I bought my copy of Box for about $90 AUD and regularly see it go for up to $30 cheaper than that and this is for the Australian version. Interesting that other versions go for so much more
Remembering playing ruby back in the day on my gba, every time I defeated the elite four, there were several trainers in the game that would reset and allow you to rebattle them. There were a few “rich boy” trainers that paid big with the amulet coin that I would always go rebattle.
I feel like it says a lot that I’ve watched this video in its entirety and there’s still a massive part of my brain that says… this looks like something fun to do
If only I knew how rare it would be, when I was younger I went to a GAME store to get Colosseum but inside was the disc for box so we went back another day for colosseum 😭
Ayyy i member the pokemon center before it became the nintendo center. It actually had a pokeball over the entrance and the color scheme of the in-game pokemon center was great
John: no one cared about eevees or IVs
Eevee: am I a joke to you?
lmao
Man this video bring back some memories I had one of those I also remember I had an orange GameCube back in the good old days I would do anything to relieve the early 2000s:)😌
for me the thing that is the most fun in Pokemon games is evolving Pokemon
Thank you Johnstone, I didn't even know this existed. I will try to find one and get back into it.
now I've seen at LEAST $900 and upwards of 2000 as well
The Celebi and the Hidden Ability Starter Pokemon were more useful than hatching those Pokemon.
I am not this far yet, but I sure do hope that those special attacks if these egg Pokémon (apart from Pichu) are accepted by Pokémon Home.
12:13 Two words: Battle Revolution
And before Box R/S you could store pokemon on your Stadium/2 carts and then on Wii My Pokemon Ranch allowed you to store pokemon on the Wii so a Bank like experience has been available for almost the entire existence of pokemon
"...you'd be an idiot t-
OK so I'm currently playing my copy of sapphire and I've collected all the repeat balls I need to catch every single one"
🤦♂️😂😂😂
For what it's worth My Pokemon Ranch for the Wii did something similar but the rewards given to you were pretty amazing albeit so damn time consuming.
I was give a copy of pokemon box and super monkey ball from a friend who bought it at a flea market. She bought it for a cheap price and i didn't even know how valuable it was until now.
I actually have an EU version of this game, it came with a NGC bundle as a kid, used it a couple of times and didnt think much of it - I didn't realise it was so rare haha
Erm Pokemon Stadium (2 in japan, dunno if 1 could) allready let you manage your RBY cardridges and and store pokemon on the n64 game. It was the major way of organizing tms as well, considering you could dupe them in R/B then store 99 of each on the n64. Stadium 2 did the same for G/S, dunno if it was still compatibvle with R/B/Y, but it most likely was.
dammit I could have used this as a kid had I knew about it!! I only had one friend who liked Pokemon (my cousin) so other thin him, I had no one else to "I catch them all" with
Honestly it is pretty niche. I feel this is like a bank and trading system for a friend group without link cables. Like you mentioned you had 4 games of the five and that’d fill about 600 Pokemon. Assuming it’d be 150 per game roughly, the fifth copy would approximate you with about 750 Pokemon. If you had a friend with the same five games, you could easily fill those 1500 slots. However, that’d assume you have one friend with 5 games. More realistically though, if you had 4 friends, each of you having two games (let’s assume ruby and sapphire when this first came out, or 1 hoenn 1 kanto for later) then you’d fill out about the same amount.
But I mean at that point one of you has to have a link cable, but I could see this as a sort of way to put Pokémon up for trade in a small group. Like, having a notebook to take notes of who wants what. That’s just my idea on how this game probably could have been used back in the day
9:31
I love this channel so much
That Zigzagoon with Extreme Speed is actually super amazing an rare at this point. It's the only way to make Linoon viable in competitive. I was building a competitive team and planned on using one until I realized it's virtually impossible to get at this point
You can breed it in USUM. Arcanie or Lucario can pass it on as fathers now.
@@SophiaLilithUwU That's amazing!! Thank you so much for telling me
$250? Bro I wish I saw this and bought it for that much back in the day damn I’m looking at one for $2000 on eBay and I’m honestly thinking about it
Damn those pokemon rewards were so bad :/ IN my pokemon Ranch for the wii, I ended up buying it because i actually filled up every single box slot on diamond, as i was breeding for some strong pokemon. I bought it to fill it up with 200 bulbasaur and growlithe and stuff, and the final reward for playing that game, which also helps you complete your pokedex, is a mew!
Haha I bought this for $135 a few years ago, it's a pretty neat collector's item.
only NINETIES KIDS will understand the CONNECTIONS had between players during trading and battleing.
Wireless battles and trading made things effortless to stay in another spot. I would be at the kitchen and my cousin in the living room and we still had strong connection. Any who, those days changed for the best.
9:22 Mirage Island Hunters: I could do it in my sleep
I started 2 playthroughs of Firered and Ruby a while back. And my plan was to catch all Pkmn over all the games I have, all the way to Shield. I stopped so far and wanted to start over. I guess a pichu with surf has given me the drive to do it once more...
2:48 well now we know how the designs for the primals were made
Is it possible to get multiple of the same egg through deleting the save file on the memory card and repeatedly sending Pokemon in (obviously more for the earlier eggs than later ones)?
You need to reset the GBA carts too, but yeah. You can get them as shiny by trading them to other carts than they were meant for as the shiny lock is pretty poor.
So it is possible to get these shiny egg pokemon with a bit of rng practice and farm them.
Regiultima all you have to do is remove 1 Pokémon from box then reset the system and add another Pokémon. This will give you another of the same egg. Ex: 1499 gets you picku with surf. Remove one. Reset add and repeat. For an endless supply.
@@TheDonovan133 Pokemon count is per cart, so resetting a cart is considered a new cart, so you couldn't get the last egg like that.
I'd imagine the game could only play ruby and Sapphire if the disk had the roms on it and was just reading your save file from the gba.
Also, I have this game. I remember asking my mom to order it for me because I planned on eventually getting a gamecube, and not ever even messing with it. It may even still be sealed. Gotta go look at my old house...
And here I was just HOPING you'd maybe get something fantastic as a prize, like a baby legendary, or even at least just a shiny, or a Pokemon with a rarer move than the whole "surf Pikachu" gag we've seen for years. We get it, he can surf sometimes. That's great. I wanna see my Sceptile learn surf instead, can we get something cool like that? No? Just reward this man with a Pichu and that's it? Alright then.
Technically the Stadium series was the first Pokemon Bank because of the added N64 storage boxes.
If anything, the surfing Pichu is at least a cute nod to the Pokemon Stadium trick to get a surfing pikachu for Yellow & its minigame. Still stinky rewards for what would be a lotta work even for 14 year old me.
Atleast you could've disable the battle animations when you were grinding the Elite Four. It saves a significant amount of time.
You can get this game quite easily in the Netherlands and quite cheap too. I got mine for around 11 euros without a box and papers
do you not realize that pichu has surf??? it must be actually one of the rarest game pokemon to collect. i think thats a fucking awesome prize.
WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!! Bridgette debuted in this game?! i learned something new i honestly thought she was just in Pokemon Bank
Well you see. I almost did this, I took my old diamond, bought about 460ish pokeballs 10 at a time to get a premier ball every time. I got a sneasel with false swipe, and got to grinding, eventually found a shiny shinx! But since I had no clue how many pokemon you could fit in the pc I then played through pearl enough to afford those 460ish pokeballs and did it again. I did this to get the 1000 pokemon required to get Mew from pokemon Ranch.
