there's a special kind of nostalgia that comes from old Pokémon games and for me no game in bodies as feeling more than heart gold and soul silver these games captured the magic of my childhood in ways few others could they weren't just updated versions of old classics they were a celebration of the Pokémon experience I haven't played this game in years but I know I've spent an embarrassing amount of time shiny hunting in it so let's take a look back and see what's hiding on this 10-year-old save file [Music] let's see what we got awesome really this video is just an excuse for me to be nostalgic and look at all these old Pokemon that I haven't seen in God knows how long Pokemon Heart Gold so I have 259 hours logged in this game however I know that's not accurate just for the fact that I spent so long soft recent shiny hunting so I have significantly more hours I have close to 1,000 hours in this game all 16 Badges and a pokedex of 305 all right starting off in Golden Rod City immediately with a shiny septile I'm going to see just what's in my party right now it's just septile just septile who's named Rico and it's a gentle nature from hoen which uh got this as a soft res set hunt in Sapphire and I used pickup Zig zons to get him to level 100 before I tra over here uh got him October 25th 2021 I don't know if that's accurate to be honest with you I never set my DS times appropriately I'm going to see my trainer card Adventure started December 15th 2016 again I feel like I always changed my DS systems time so I don't know if that's quite accurate but oh you got my signature on there that's so cute this is bringing me back man it really is Hall of Fame debut August 3rd 2017 yeah man my hall of fame time would have definitely been way after started the game just because I spent so long shiny hunting and everything Random Encounters specifically I want to see if I can't go to the Hall of Fame see what my first time beating the game looked like okay so here we already see some Pokemon that I have Stylo the level 100 Dragonite which I got from the game Corner love this Pokemon so much I don't know if this is on the safe file or if it's on platinum I'll I'll look this isn't my first debut though let me see if I can't go back to the first one no we don't have my first one on here but basically I just I mean like everyone I use the Hall of Fame as just a way to level up Pokemon for the decks all right I'm just going to go straight to the PC if I remember correctly I used to organize the PC box by Pokedex number let's just start back uh to number one yep yep I was trying to do a living decks on this game so 1 through 30 31 through 60 and then so on and so forth I think I got all of Kanto except maybe the last little bit there but and we started doing jto I have a video idea planned for this game specifically so that might be the best time to finish this out I would love to get a complete living decks on this copy of hard gold all right boys what we came here for the shinies I'm pretty sure if I just go back one they're all in this box there they are this is bringing back memories man what's kind of cool is I'm pretty sure these are like sequential order of when I got them so starting it off with my very first full odd shiny ever shiny tyion which I nicknamed Tai yeah December 19th 2016 I got this from just sofre setting at the beginning of the game and luckily for me this was my Target in my first phase so I didn't have to like sofa over a Chikorita or Toto dial I would have Tak regardless but I got lucky and got what I wanted and with this safe file I kind of did a pseudo badge Quest where I would try to get a shiny before each gym so after I got syn Quil I'm pretty sure I wanted a hoppip for some reason that's what I wanted but I didn't get it I phased and I got a shiny Aeros met at level six when I was a little baby Marie and for some reason I have holding a shed shell I and know signal beam so that makes sense I suppose I named her Mari and this Pokémon has killed a shiny Articuno as soon as I got the shiny I got a critical hit and I fainted it of course that's how it goes I still love it though I still love it after Mari we got Arthur which is arguably one of my favorite Cano shinies I love shiny n King so much and if you notice too literally I was so lucky back in the day caught December 19th caught December 21st caught December 23rd I was getting a full out shiny so fast I was so lucky I think the next one though took me forever to get if I remember correctly I got through headbutting trees and I got my target that's what I wanted shiny Fortress named bomber yeah I got it June 2017 so it was it was a minute after I got the other three but man this is such a good shiny I have loved shiny Fortress forever it looks so much better in scarlet and violet but man such an underrated shiny for years and years and years especially pineco too pineco shiny is so good and I don't remember what's that the man the myth the legend Stylo I love him so much game Corner shiny I remember grinding voltor flip to get enough coins to get uh five of them at a time and I fin got it this was a really fast hunt I remember it being Stylo I think was my first level 100 on the save file cuz I took him through the Elite 4 so many times training up other Pokémon um I don't remember what's next I have a feeling I know it might be the the legendary ho oh this Pokémon right here this specific hoo means so much to me growing up I never looked at a counters I don't know how how many times I reset this game to get this Pokémon but I know it was like 6 7 8 months it was a long time just of constantly reset my game the night I got it it was like 1154 on my birthday like it was it was the best way to cap out that day it says October 27th but that's not accurate my birthday is November 26th that's the day I got it and this is like the best birthday shiny ever um shiny ho is top tier shiny s tier number one number one Johto for sure it's it's top five shiny Pokemon for me ever just been sitting here admiring it oh my gosh after that I think I I got reset my copy of soul silver and did the starter resets again and instead of getting squil I got Totodile which is was my second choice I love shiny total dial so much named it locky sassy nature uh 2018 so a few years after I got the first guys and I didn't know this at the time not that it matters it bugged my little OC OCD brain back in the day but if you choose a female character your name is red I didn't know that so all these other guys have blue names and the everyone I got this sa prob has a red name which doesn't bother me now but it did it did back in the day for sure after that Milton this is a Pokemon from leaf green this game right here I remember resetting my game treating everything over to a copy of fire red that I had just so I could shiny hunt on that game I don't know why I picked bulbas to hunt first because my favorite Pokemon for a long time was Squirtle as my first ever Pokemon but I wouldn't trade up for the world I love shiny Venusaur so so much holding a quick claw named Milton I don't know what you guys name your Venusaur better be Milton after that got Versace the shiny Vaporeon I love this Pokemon so much as well another one from leaf green notice how it arrived at level 54 that's probably what level it was when I beat the Kanto league and just traded them all up but now it's level 86 this after Stylo this became my go-to Pokemon to train other Pokemon up part of me regrets trading up all of my third gen leaf green Chinese because the shiny Sparkle in third gen is just so good I'll probably go back and reclaim them one of these days my goal is to get one of those like GB ba PC connectors uh and stream stream third gen shiny hunts and for Gen too but I think I might have to have a capture card for that I don't really know okay Versace then we got trunks which dang after versachi we got trunks the shiny is just okay I don't regret it though I love Trunks and I love how he still level 43 he came at level 43 and leaving staying at level 43 I've not touched him since oh Ridley shiny Aerodactyl I'll be honest with you does not look near as good as it did in third gen this and another Pokemon that I have I think there's two other ones that just do not look good in fourth gen in my opinion they are so much stronger in previous games specifically leaf green fire red yeah he assassinates your little Ridley after that we got my favorite shiny that I have shiny meww this hunt took me like no time at all to get it was crazy in and out shiny hunts those are the best ones where it doesn't feel like work some shiny hunts last forever and you have to like babysit them this one was fast arrived at level 70 I think that's what level you catch it at but immediately got to level 100 I I use this Pokemon through everything I think a big use case I had from youw was in Platinum for poke radar I I did a lot of poke radar in Platinum which I love poke radar so much actually it's probably my favorite not bdsp poke radar but like OG Diamond pearl Platinum so much fun to shiny hunt that way so much fun all right I'll stop gushing over Mewtwo after that we got viscus which was my last shiny off of that Leaf Green Copy again I think this just looks just again I think this just looks so good in third gen I love it in fourth gen but something something so special about third gen Chinese I they just feel like so they shouldn't exist I don't know they feel like Chinese they feel like what Chinese should feel like in every other game to me after that we got London which uh I guess I also got in leaf green fire red but I know I didn't get it after thisisus I got it before cuz I think I just hunted it when I was in silco fighting Team Rocket I guess I never used it but uh this is another one I think just looks so much better in third gen than it does in fourth gen after that we got Helix oh I love this Pokemon so much I never used them this might be my final shiny from leaf green fire red I don't remember the order honestly but I remember wanting to use him in a playthrough of platinum like just trading him over I thought it' been fun but never got around to doing that maybe one of these days oh there it is shiny guara this was another one that took me forever to get but as soon as I got it Master balled it of course I don't know is that cheap probably but after Articuno I was I was locked into catching them so I master balled it but yeah this was this was another one I I spent a long time hunting for really happy I got it I think it's funny my gutin is somewhat of a clown um I think it's also my only Platinum shiny I think I shiny hunted nope that's not true I forgot I have a few more this is my favorite Pokemon that I have have in the safe file probably other than Stylo other than Mewtwo I love electivire so much it's one of my favorite Pokemon if not my favorite Pokemon especially shiny electivire I always nickname my electivire vice and I have a shiny Alpha electivire in Legends arus which is like my staple Pokemon in that game and I think I have it on scarlet and violet right now I think I transferred it over so little bashful Vice likes to thrash your bout you and me both buddy my final Johto starter I did that hunt three different times and got three different starters so I was very blessed in that sense holding a miracle seed impish nature August 8th 2020 that sounds about right during lockdown probably pick shiny hunting back up I don't remember uh strong W God it's such a cool Pokemon really is PE the second I got a PE the first wasn't shiny but I love love shiny Al Kazam so much uh this was game Corner met gold Ron City sassy nature October 6 2020 I have been working on a shiny sandrew ekins shiny hunt for a minute now I think I'm like 16,000 deep into it I'm double odds after that Kyogre I got this so fast when I say so fast I hunted it for maybe an hour was like maybe 200 300 Encounters in it was wild ah like it took longer to set the hunt up than it did to get this shiny I want to go back and get Groudon shiny and then get Rayquaza shiny in this game so bad that that's that is dream team right there Fort Shiny Rayquaza would be crazy after that Lugia another really fast one I remember setting this hunt up at my job I was uh I worked at a subway and I remember bringing my DS in when we weren't busy and getting to the point where I could get toia Soul Silver cuz I was already there in Heart Gold I just wanted to have a second game to hunt on and literally that night got it set up that night went home and got it I think it was like 67 encounters like it was stupid fast first shiny on that safe file too so I definitely use this more than hoo met at level 45 level 67 now it's such a good shiny uh I I don't know I don't know if I like it more than ho oh I it's they're up there though for me for sure I just love these Pokemon so much so much Nostalgia uh Heming way the shiny bronzer this was a platinum this was a radar shiny however it was like a one chain or something like it was I think yeah it was a one chain stupid uh I remember catching this in college and if I remember correctly there's a full odds shiny that I got through radar chain not through a shiny patch just in general I think it's next yep Yuko the shiny Skitty I love this Pokemon so much I remember being floored I was in like like a conference Hall in college and radar chaining and I like was like dialed into something else I look over and see the shiny Sparkles and I was just what the heck this was back when I was uh doing radar chain and going through sun and moon doing some shiny hunts that I had never done in that game like Wim pod and typ N stuff like that Yuko and then finally I think this might be the final shiny in this box shiny Shaman which I got on Diamond and Pearl through exploiting through the void so it was a risky hunt and I think I got in like 4,000 encounters super sad though I can't turn to Sky form unfortunately apparently this Shaman doesn't like trigger the event to get the item so it stuck like this I love it regardless I think it's such a good shiny nope shenzi might be the final one I don't know I don't know I don't know but this is a full out shiny pooa that I got in Sapphire doing the starter shiny hunt I game sharked myself in some Pokeball so I could catch it so I wouldn't fail it jenzi and then Rhonda we got Rhonda here shiny Machamp I forgot all about Rhonda I think I used this on like a a mini playthrough of platinum that's why it's like level 31 which is kind of crazy that I would use I'm Machamp I I don't feel like that's me oh my gosh and we got shiny dusk Noir named Churchill which is such a fun name for dusk Noir I got some Pokemon here I do not remember I don't remember ever catching this beong after that January 9th 2000 homie was a Y2K baby that's crazy beong is such a cool name for meta type and then that's the final of this box however I know I do have more that I think were radar Chained and the thing is I'm pretty sure I have more shinies as well that are just in other games right now and and even on like my third gen games I know I have shinies that aren't on here obviously so moving back a box we got Ezekiel the basic shiny you get in every safe file of hard gold soul silver Calamity this was a radar chained uh Pony when I got it super cute I love I love this Pokemon actually I I Ed this in a playthrough of a so silver then after that I'm not proud of it boys I'm not proud of it I don't claim it as my own but he's here and that's everything I think a a so nostalgic I love these games so much I love shiny hunting I miss special events for mythicals I miss things not being shiny locked and most importantly I just miss these Pokémon so if you made it all the way to the end of the video thank you for watching I was feeling really nostalgic today so this was a video for me I just wanted to catalog my reaction of these guys but I think that's all I got for today so see you
