I had a friend 20 years ago who used to spit in his game boy cartridge whenever it didn't work... and voila it worked! Lol I always found it disgusting, so I was like, nah don't spit in it again. Let me try. And I took it out and blew into the cartridge and the game boy slot as much as I could, tried it 10 times and it never worked. I concluded that you know, this time your game is probably broken He said, give it here. He spat in it and the first time he tries it, it works. I was like WTFFF. Why does nintendo want us to spit in it?

To be fair, the tools for Gen 3 ROM hacking and save editing have been around for almost as long as the games themselves have. There are LOADS of tools for hyper-specific purposes from the days of forums reigning king, to make ROM hacking and save editing more accessible to the layman who doesn't know how to go straight into the memory to change values. Of course it's been around for years.

Just got to the water part- and let me tell you. That little dab won’t do JACK to that cartridge. My neice accidentally sent her Pokémon Emerald through a whole ass wash and dryer session and it came out shockingly ok. The sticker was dead. But the files and gameplay were entirely unaffected. Edit: I won’t even lie that I legit burst into tears when they touched on the IV data… the last bits that “didn’t matter”. Those bits turned out to be pivotal to bringing her back. That’s her. That’s not just a clone. Not just a copy- this was on her home cartridge. All her data was collected from imprints of her world- and then you fused her into the bad egg. You gave her a new body. THIS IS HER. THEY BROUGHT HER HOME.

I actually had a very similar experience to this. I was born in 2001, so I didn't grow up when the GBA was new, but as a kid, I LOVED retro games, especially handhelds. For Christmas one year, my mom got me Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire for the GBA. She didn't know at the time, but they were cheap reproductions that you see everywhere. I didn’t care, I was just happy to have Pokemon on my GBA. I got REALLY attached to my Emerald save. I named all my Pokemon and got really attached to them too. My favorite was my female Torchic named Sriracha. I had played Pokemon games before, and I’ve played Pokemon games since, but I’ve NEVER gotten more attached to a Pokemon than I did with Sriracha. This was also during one summer vacation where I pretty much lived with my grandparents (the air conditioner at my parents house broke), who were very important parts of my life. My grandfather was a mechanic and very good with his hands, and he actually helped me swap the shell on my GBA and solder in a rechargeable battery. He even helped me modify the battery compartment so the rechargeable battery would fit. This is all to say, I had a lot of memories attached to that save. One day, when I turned off my GBA, the screen weirdly flickered. I had a bad feeling, and when I turned it back on, I got nothing. The Gameboy Advance logo would appear, and the Nintendo logo would appear, meaning the cartridge was able to be read, but then it would fade to a white screen, and that was it. I tried EVERYTHING. Different consoles, different batteries, wall power, etc. Nothing ever changed. I even dumped the ROM and SAV file, but the ROM acted just like the cartridge, and the SAV just wasn’t working with other ROM's from the internet. For years, that was it. I had given up. But then on June 8th 2023, while doing something completely unrelated online, I stumbled across a tool that could extract a save file from a bootleg Pokemon GBA ROM. Apparently, the way those bootlegs work is that they save directly to the ROM itself. I didn’t believe it until I dumped one of my other bootlegs, and I booted it up in an emulator to see my save data, even without having dumped the SAV file. Since my Emerald game couldn’t get past that white screen, I doubted the dump was even good. I was very worried this save extractor wouldn’t work. This final hail Mary, this seemingly silver bullet perfectly tailored to my issue, and there was a very real possibility it wouldn't work. To my surprise, it worked perfectly, and after all these years, I had my Sriracha back, as well as the rest of my team. It was a really emotional experience for me, and now all of those Pokemon are safe on my laptop.

I'd really like to know who this Gary is, that was quite a dive. Though... I dunno if "Gary" is the name picked for this project rather than a usual name, but if it's intentional ... this Gary rescues a Blastoise starter, and in the anime Gary Oak's starter and likely favourite pokemon is Squirtle. Seriously, if that's an intentional reference it's incredible.

This story resonates with me on so many levels. The entire reason I got into game collecting and starting my channel about it was to emphasize how these games are not “just a game”. They are memories of a special time and place, with friends, or with family. This story was not just about bringing back an a lost virtual pet, But also about resolving a little boy’s memory of making an error which caused a sense of loss and grief for many years. This is why these games are so important. They weave together the fabric of our fondest memories, and keep them alive in our hearts and minds, even if their code has gotten corrupt or is no longer playable. It’s NOT just a game. ❤

Not a gameshark, but a younger brother. I had pokemon yellow on my gba sp. First pokemon game i ever owned. Played it for months and months, and got all the badges, and was gearing up for the elite four. The entire time my little brother kept bugging me over and over to let him play. And i was adament "no, youll save over my game, theres only one save" and he just kept it up, till he finally wore me down after MONTHS of begging i relented. I told him do NOT save, and let him play. He was absolutely delighted, and promised he wont save over my game and played it for hours and hours that day, i even gave him the charger so he could play for longer, after all, all his hard work wouldnt be saved. The next day i popped it in and opened it up....and it was NOT my save. My little brother nearly died that day. And to THIS day, decades later i still bring it up at least once a year to him Aint no grudge like a pokemon grudge

Definitely kudos to the guy for researching into these savegames enough to know where and how to get all that data out, though. That's the _real_ skill.

Gary's cinematic universe is the Matrix. The fact he didn't even promote his social media or anything from it is also very commendable for whatever reason he withheld it. Ironically while playing God, only God knows what Gary really did to get that Blastoise back.

The almost 'paradoxical' thing about this though is that if he never corrupted this Blastoise to begin with he probably wouldn't have the same attachment to it. He's attached to it because of the memory of regret around it. Maybe he wouldn't even have cared about it or the game anymore... He might not even have kept the game or console if it weren't for his hope of fixing this mistake one day. Regret is a powerful emotion.

I kinda beg to differ. The Pokémon that carried me through my first game was very important to me as a 10yr old. Because I didn't corrupt him I was able to transfer him to future generations which means I've had him for over 14 years now and my attachment to him has only grown. He's been with me so long I'd be *devastated* to lose him. Still, regret *is* powerful and probably did change the way this Pokémon is important to him.

In December 1998 I was 14 and had a Blastoise and Dugtrio (my favorite pokemon too) who I loved so much. I remember they could beat the Elite 4 just the 2 of them. Level 100. We had an Accelerated Reader program at school that was for fun, where you read a book and take a 20 question test. You got extra credit if you scored well on it. One day during lunch, I took a test for a book I didn't read, Gulliver's Travels, and got a 5% (1/20) on it. I left the print out saying I failed in my backpack. My mom happened to go through my backpack one terrible, fateful morning, and thought I had actually failed a reading test. She got ultra mad, pulled me out of bed by my hair, and screamed at me for playing too much Pokemon as the reason why I failed a school assignment and didn't tell her. She took my Gameboy with the Pokemon Blue cartridge still in it, and smashed it with a hammer in front of me. I will never forget that morning.

Imagining this from Blastoise's perspective: you're going on a journey with your trainer, you've entered the hall of fame together, helped capture mewtwo and have scoured the entire region together. One day you start to feel strange, you suddenly feel a surge of strange energy, like you've eaten a rare candy but something is wrong. It's too much at once and everything goes black. For years you're stuck in stasis, possibly aware of the world around you as your trainer desperately tries to bring you back. And then one day, you wake up again to the sound of cheers and laughter

I was super invested in this video. Once I hit the 10 min mark i was thinking how long is this video? Once I saw it was almost an hour long I was contemplating watching the whole thing, but man am I glad I did. It was an emotional rollercoaster. I lost my data on my Pokemon Emerald game so i know the feeling. So the fact that they were anlento get it back was amazing. Shout out to everyone that worked on this video. Thank you all for this amazing heartwarming experience. Wish I saw this when it came out, but better late than never ❤❤❤
