0:00 there's a special kind of nostalgia that
0:01 comes from old Pokémon games and for me
0:04 no game in bodies as feeling more than
0:07 heart gold and soul silver these games
0:09 captured the magic of my childhood in
0:11 ways few others could they weren't just
0:14 updated versions of old classics they
0:16 were a celebration of the Pokémon
0:17 experience I haven't played this game in
0:19 years but I know I've spent an
0:21 embarrassing amount of time shiny
0:22 hunting in it so let's take a look back
0:25 and see what's hiding on this
0:26 10-year-old save file
0:34 [Music]
0:38 let's see what we got awesome really
0:40 this video is just an excuse for me to
0:41 be nostalgic and look at all these old
0:43 Pokemon that I haven't seen in God knows
0:46 how long Pokemon Heart Gold so I have
0:49 259 hours logged in this game however I
0:52 know that's not accurate just for the
0:54 fact that I spent so long soft recent
0:56 shiny hunting so I have significantly
0:59 more hours I have close to 1,000 hours
1:01 in this game all 16 Badges and a pokedex
1:04 of
1:05 305 all right starting off in Golden Rod
1:08 City immediately with a shiny septile
1:11 I'm going to see just what's in my party
1:12 right now it's just septile just septile
1:16 who's named
1:17 Rico and it's a gentle nature from hoen
1:21 which uh got this as a soft res set hunt
1:24 in Sapphire and I used pickup Zig zons
1:28 to get him to level 100 before I tra
1:30 over here uh got him October 25th 2021 I
1:34 don't know if that's accurate to be
1:35 honest with you I never set my DS times
1:37 appropriately I'm going to see my
1:39 trainer card Adventure started December
1:42 15th
1:43 2016 again I feel like I always changed
1:45 my DS systems time so I don't know if
1:47 that's quite accurate but oh you got my
1:49 signature on there that's so cute this
1:51 is bringing me back man it really is
1:53 Hall of Fame debut August 3rd
1:55 2017 yeah man my hall of fame time would
1:58 have definitely been way after started
2:00 the game just because I spent so long
2:02 shiny hunting and everything Random
2:03 Encounters specifically I want to see if
2:05 I can't go to the Hall of Fame see what
2:07 my first time beating the game looked
2:08 like okay so here we already see some
2:10 Pokemon that I have Stylo the level 100
2:12 Dragonite which I got from the game
2:14 Corner love this Pokemon so much I don't
2:16 know if this is on the safe file or if
2:17 it's on platinum I'll I'll look this
2:19 isn't my first debut though let me see
2:21 if I can't go back to the first one no
2:23 we don't have my first one on here but
2:25 basically I just I mean like everyone I
2:26 use the Hall of Fame as just a way to
2:28 level up Pokemon for the decks all right
2:30 I'm just going to go straight to the
2:31 PC if I remember correctly I used to
2:34 organize the PC box by Pokedex number
2:37 let's just start back uh to number one
2:40 yep yep I was trying to do a living
2:42 decks on this game so 1 through 30 31
2:45 through 60 and then so on and so forth I
2:47 think I got all of
2:49 Kanto except maybe the last little bit
2:51 there but and we started doing jto I
2:54 have a video idea planned for this game
2:55 specifically so that might be the best
2:57 time to finish this out I would love to
2:58 get a complete living decks on this copy
3:00 of hard gold all right boys what we came
3:02 here for the shinies I'm pretty sure if
3:03 I just go back one they're all in this
3:05 box there they are this is bringing back
3:07 memories man what's kind of cool is I'm
3:09 pretty sure these are like sequential
3:11 order of when I got them so starting it
3:13 off with my very first full odd shiny
3:15 ever shiny tyion which I nicknamed Tai
3:18 yeah December 19th 2016 I got this from
3:21 just sofre setting at the beginning of
3:23 the game and luckily for me this was my
3:24 Target in my first phase so I didn't
3:26 have to like sofa over a Chikorita or
3:28 Toto dial I would have Tak regardless
3:30 but I got lucky and got what I wanted
3:32 and with this safe file I kind of did a
3:34 pseudo badge Quest where I would try to
3:36 get a shiny before each gym so after I
3:38 got syn Quil I'm pretty sure I wanted a
3:40 hoppip for some reason that's what I
3:41 wanted but I didn't get it I phased and
3:43 I got a shiny Aeros met at level six
3:46 when I was a little baby Marie and for
3:48 some reason I have holding a shed
3:50 shell I and know signal beam so that
3:52 makes sense I suppose I named her Mari
3:55 and this Pokémon has killed a shiny
3:58 Articuno as soon as I got the shiny I
4:00 got a critical hit and I fainted it of
4:01 course that's how it goes I still love
4:03 it though I still love it after Mari we
4:05 got Arthur which is arguably one of my
4:07 favorite Cano shinies I love shiny n
4:09 King so much and if you notice too
4:11 literally I was so lucky back in the day
4:13 caught December 19th caught December
4:16 21st caught December 23rd I was getting
4:18 a full out shiny so fast I was so lucky
4:21 I think the next one though took me
4:23 forever to get if I remember correctly I
4:25 got through headbutting trees and I got
4:27 my target that's what I wanted shiny
4:29 Fortress named bomber yeah I got it June
4:32 2017 so it was it was a minute after I
4:35 got the other three but man this is such
4:36 a good shiny I have loved shiny Fortress
4:38 forever it looks so much better in
4:40 scarlet and violet but man such an
4:43 underrated shiny for years and years and
4:44 years especially pineco too pineco shiny
4:46 is so good and I don't remember what's
4:48 that the man the myth the legend Stylo I
4:51 love him so much game Corner shiny I
4:54 remember grinding voltor flip to get
4:55 enough coins to get uh five of them at a
4:58 time and I fin got it this was a really
5:00 fast hunt I remember it being Stylo I
5:03 think was my first level 100 on the save
5:05 file cuz I took him through the Elite 4
5:06 so many times training up other Pokémon
5:09 um I don't remember what's next I have a
5:11 feeling I know it might be the the
5:13 legendary ho oh this Pokémon right here
5:16 this specific hoo means so much to me
5:19 growing up I never looked at a counters
5:21 I don't know how how many times I reset
5:23 this game to get this Pokémon but I know
5:25 it was like 6 7 8 months it was a long
5:28 time just of constantly reset my game
5:30 the night I got it it was like
5:34 1154 on my birthday like it was it was
5:37 the best way to cap out that day it says
5:40 October 27th but that's not accurate my
5:42 birthday is November 26th that's the day
5:43 I got it and this is like the best
5:45 birthday shiny ever um shiny ho is top
5:48 tier shiny s tier number one number one
5:50 Johto for sure it's it's top five shiny
5:52 Pokemon for me ever just been sitting
5:54 here admiring it oh my gosh after that I
5:57 think I I got reset my copy of soul
5:59 silver and did the starter resets again
6:02 and instead of getting squil I got
6:05 Totodile which is was my second choice I
6:07 love shiny total dial so much named it
6:09 locky sassy nature uh 2018 so a few
6:12 years after I got the first guys and I
6:16 didn't know this at the time not that it
6:17 matters it bugged my little OC OCD brain
6:19 back in the day but if you choose a
6:21 female character your name is red I
6:23 didn't know that so all these other guys
6:26 have blue
6:27 names and the everyone I got this sa
6:29 prob has a red name which doesn't bother
6:32 me now but it did it did back in the day
6:34 for sure after that Milton this is a
6:38 Pokemon from leaf green this game right
6:40 here I remember resetting my game
6:42 treating everything over to a copy of
6:44 fire red that I had just so I could
6:45 shiny hunt on that game I don't know why
6:47 I picked bulbas to hunt first because my
6:49 favorite Pokemon for a long time was
6:51 Squirtle as my first ever Pokemon but I
6:53 wouldn't trade up for the world I love
6:54 shiny Venusaur so so much holding a
6:56 quick claw named Milton I don't know
6:58 what you guys name your Venusaur better
7:00 be Milton after that got Versace the
7:02 shiny Vaporeon I love this Pokemon so
7:04 much as well another one from leaf green
7:07 notice how it arrived at level 54 that's
7:09 probably what level it was when I beat
7:11 the Kanto league and just traded them
7:12 all up but now it's level 86 this after
7:14 Stylo this became my go-to Pokemon to
7:17 train other Pokemon up part of me
7:19 regrets trading up all of my third gen
7:21 leaf green Chinese because the shiny
7:23 Sparkle in third gen is just so good
7:24 I'll probably go back and reclaim them
7:26 one of these days my goal is to get one
7:28 of those like GB ba PC connectors uh and
7:31 stream stream third gen shiny hunts and
7:33 for Gen too but I think I might have to
7:34 have a capture card for that I don't
7:36 really
7:38 know okay Versace then we got trunks
7:41 which
7:43 dang after versachi we got trunks the
7:47 shiny is just
7:49 okay I don't regret it though I love
7:51 Trunks and I love how he still level 43
7:53 he came at level 43 and leaving staying
7:55 at level 43 I've not touched him since
7:58 oh Ridley
8:00 shiny Aerodactyl I'll be honest with you
8:02 does not look near as good as it did in
8:04 third gen this and another Pokemon that
8:06 I have I think there's two other ones
8:08 that just do not look good in fourth gen
8:10 in my opinion they are so much stronger
8:12 in previous games specifically leaf
8:14 green fire red yeah he assassinates your
8:17 little Ridley after that we
8:18 got my favorite shiny that I have shiny
8:22 meww this hunt took me like no time at
8:24 all to get it was crazy in and out shiny
8:27 hunts those are the best ones where it
8:28 doesn't feel like work some shiny hunts
8:30 last forever and you have to like
8:32 babysit them this one was fast arrived
8:36 at level 70 I think that's what level
8:37 you catch it at but immediately got to
8:40 level 100 I I use this Pokemon through
8:42 everything I think a big use case I had
8:45 from youw was in Platinum for poke radar
8:47 I I did a lot of poke radar in Platinum
8:49 which I love poke radar so much actually
8:52 it's probably my favorite not bdsp poke
8:55 radar but like OG Diamond pearl Platinum
8:57 so much fun to shiny hunt that way so
8:59 much fun all right I'll stop gushing
9:00 over Mewtwo after that we got viscus
9:03 which was my last shiny off of that Leaf
9:06 Green
9:08 Copy again I think this just looks just
9:12 again I think this just looks so good in
9:13 third gen I love it in fourth gen but
9:15 something something so special about
9:16 third gen Chinese I they just feel like
9:19 so they shouldn't exist I don't know
9:21 they feel like Chinese they feel like
9:22 what Chinese should feel like in every
9:23 other game to me after that we got
9:25 London which uh I guess I also got in
9:29 leaf green fire red but I know I didn't
9:31 get it after thisisus I got it before
9:34 cuz I think I just hunted it when I was
9:35 in silco fighting Team Rocket I guess I
9:37 never used it but uh this is another one
9:40 I think just looks so much better in
9:41 third gen than it does in fourth gen
9:43 after that we got Helix oh I love this
9:45 Pokemon so much I never used them this
9:47 might be my final shiny from leaf green
9:50 fire red I don't remember the order
9:52 honestly but I remember wanting to use
9:54 him in a playthrough of platinum like
9:55 just trading him over I thought it' been
9:57 fun but never got around to doing that
9:59 maybe one of these days oh there it is
10:01 shiny guara this was another one that
10:03 took me forever to get but as soon as I
10:05 got it Master balled it of course I
10:07 don't know is that cheap probably but
10:09 after Articuno I was I was locked into
10:12 catching them so I master balled it but
10:14 yeah this was this was another one I I
10:15 spent a long time hunting for really
10:17 happy I got it I think it's funny my
10:18 gutin is somewhat of a clown um I think
10:21 it's also my only Platinum shiny I think
10:23 I shiny hunted nope that's not true I
10:26 forgot I have a few more this is my
10:28 favorite Pokemon that I have have in the
10:29 safe file probably other than Stylo
10:31 other than Mewtwo I love electivire so
10:34 much it's one of my favorite Pokemon if
10:35 not my favorite Pokemon especially shiny
10:38 electivire I always nickname my
10:40 electivire vice and I have a shiny Alpha
10:43 electivire in Legends arus which is like
10:46 my staple Pokemon in that game and I
10:48 think I have it on scarlet and violet
10:49 right now I think I transferred it over
10:51 so little bashful Vice likes to thrash
10:54 your bout you and me both buddy my final
10:57 Johto starter I did that hunt three
10:58 different times and got three different
11:00 starters so I was very blessed in that
11:02 sense holding a miracle seed impish
11:04 nature August 8th 2020 that sounds about
11:07 right during lockdown probably pick
11:09 shiny hunting back up I don't remember
11:11 uh strong W God it's such a cool Pokemon
11:14 really is PE the second I got a PE the
11:16 first wasn't shiny but I love love shiny
11:21 Al Kazam so much uh this was game Corner
11:24 met gold Ron City sassy nature October 6
11:27 2020 I have been working on a shiny
11:30 sandrew ekins shiny hunt for a minute
11:33 now I think I'm like 16,000 deep into it
11:36 I'm double
11:37 odds after that Kyogre I got this so
11:41 fast when I say so fast I hunted it for
11:43 maybe an hour was like maybe 200 300
11:47 Encounters in it was wild ah like it
11:50 took longer to set the hunt up than it
11:52 did to get this shiny I want to go back
11:54 and get Groudon shiny and then get
11:56 Rayquaza shiny in this game so bad that
11:59 that's that
12:00 is dream team right there Fort Shiny
12:03 Rayquaza would be crazy after that Lugia
12:05 another really fast one I remember
12:07 setting this hunt up at my job I was uh
12:10 I worked at a subway and I remember
12:12 bringing my DS in when we weren't busy
12:14 and getting to the point where I could
12:15 get toia Soul Silver cuz I was already
12:17 there in Heart Gold I just wanted to
12:18 have a second game to hunt on and
12:19 literally that night got it set up that
12:21 night went home and got it I think it
12:23 was like 67 encounters like it was
12:25 stupid fast first shiny on that safe
12:27 file too so I definitely use this more
12:29 than hoo met at level 45 level 67 now
12:33 it's such a good shiny uh I I don't know
12:37 I don't know if I like it more than ho
12:38 oh I it's they're up there though for me
12:40 for sure I just love these Pokemon so
12:42 much so much Nostalgia uh Heming way the
12:45 shiny bronzer this was a platinum this
12:48 was a radar shiny however it was like a
12:50 one chain or something like it was I
12:52 think yeah it was a one chain stupid uh
12:55 I remember catching this in college and
12:56 if I remember correctly there's a full
12:58 odds shiny that I got through radar
13:00 chain not through a shiny patch just in
13:01 general I think it's next yep Yuko the
13:04 shiny Skitty I love this Pokemon so much
13:07 I remember being floored I was in like
13:09 like a conference Hall in college and
13:12 radar
13:13 chaining and I like was like dialed into
13:16 something else I look over and see the
13:17 shiny Sparkles and I was just what the
13:20 heck this was back when I was uh doing
13:22 radar chain and going through sun and
13:24 moon doing some shiny hunts that I had
13:25 never done in that game like Wim pod and
13:27 typ N stuff like that
13:29 Yuko and then finally I think this might
13:32 be the final shiny in this box shiny
13:34 Shaman which I got on Diamond and Pearl
13:38 through exploiting through the void so
13:39 it was a risky hunt and I think I got in
13:42 like 4,000 encounters super sad though I
13:45 can't turn to Sky form unfortunately
13:47 apparently this Shaman doesn't like
13:48 trigger the event to get the item so it
13:52 stuck like this I love it regardless I
13:53 think it's such a good shiny nope shenzi
13:56 might be the final one I don't know I
13:58 don't know I don't know but this is a
13:59 full out shiny pooa that I got in
14:01 Sapphire doing the starter shiny hunt I
14:05 game sharked myself in some Pokeball so
14:07 I could catch it so I wouldn't fail it
14:08 jenzi and then Rhonda we got Rhonda here
14:11 shiny Machamp I forgot all about Rhonda
14:13 I think I used this on like a a mini
14:15 playthrough of platinum that's why it's
14:16 like level 31 which is kind of crazy
14:19 that I would use I'm Machamp I I don't
14:21 feel like that's me oh my gosh and we
14:22 got shiny dusk Noir named Churchill
14:24 which is such a fun name for dusk Noir I
14:26 got some Pokemon here I do not remember
14:28 I don't remember ever catching this
14:31 beong after that January 9th 2000 homie
14:33 was a Y2K baby that's crazy beong is
14:36 such a cool name for meta type and then
14:38 that's the final of this box however I
14:40 know I do have more that I think were
14:43 radar Chained and the thing is I'm
14:45 pretty sure I have more shinies as well
14:46 that are just in other games right now
14:48 and and even on like my third gen games
14:50 I know I have shinies that aren't on
14:52 here obviously so moving back a box we
14:54 got Ezekiel the basic shiny you get in
14:56 every safe file of hard gold soul silver
14:59 Calamity this was a radar chained uh
15:01 Pony when I got it super cute I love I
15:04 love this Pokemon actually I I Ed this
15:05 in a playthrough of a so silver then
15:08 after
15:09 that I'm not proud of it boys I'm not
15:12 proud of it I don't claim it as my own
15:14 but he's here and that's everything I
15:17 think a a so nostalgic I love these
15:20 games so much I love shiny hunting I
15:22 miss special events for mythicals I miss
15:24 things not being shiny locked and most
15:26 importantly I just miss these Pokémon so
15:28 if you made it all the way to the end of
15:29 the video thank you for watching I was
15:31 feeling really nostalgic today so this
15:32 was a video for me I just wanted to
15:34 catalog my reaction of these guys but I
15:36 think that's all I got for today so see
15:38 you
