10:02 Ummm...I HAVE this shiny Jirachi. I only played Pokemon Channel once. I didn't even know about the Jirachi reward when I finished the game. So I thought it was SUPPOSED to be shiny. 😱

@@ThatAnArchyDude proof

Nooo😂

@@ToastieStrudel Where would you like me to post the proof? I have Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Reddit, etc.

is it possible play that game with only one hand btw? asking for a friend

plot twist, digglet is always upside down and is jumping in its own way XD

do they count it as cheating?

@@jennyluikm only if you don't loose time when diving XD

imagine they jump and that’s the only time we ever see what they look like underground

They should have just had the Diglett necks stretch for the jumping parts though lol

do let us know if you ever manage to get one \o/ That would be a cool video as well, seeing there is none to be found

So you can keep farming it from Pokemon Channel and don't have to beat that over and over too right?

If you're really interested in hunting this thing there's a method of corrupting your game's save data that I'm currently using to hunt the wishmkr jirachi. I don't know for sure but I assume it'll also work for this. It's not rng manipulation or anything so it's still 1/8192 odds, but it cuts the reset time down to roughly 1 minute. The only problem is if you mess it up you run the risk of not being able to hunt jirachi on the save file anymore or just straight up deleting your save file, but if you have a way to back up/restore your save it shouldn't be an issue. There's a tutorial on how to do the save corruption by the domiNATION. (I would also recommend checking the comments on that video as there's a few ways to cut down the reset time that he doesn't cover)

@@kevincross709 I saw that video actually. I knew the risk of it deleting the save file but not being able to hunt it on it? Like, you delete the save file and it's fine on a new save on the same cartriage right? Apparently the odds are actually like 1 in 7,000 something. I did like 10 game resets for it before taking a break for now lol. That was before I saw the corruption method. Thank God for that as I keep getting destroyed by my rival from RNG *cries*

@@ModestNeko When I said you can't hunt it on the save file anymore I was talking about corrupting the data but the you still having the jirachi, so if that happens yes, your cartridge if fine you just have to reset the save. Also I think I've heard about the ~1/7000 odds. I'm not sure if that's true but even if it is I'm almost certain it's just a quirk of the colosseum bonus disc and doesn't have anything to do with the save corruption.

yeah, and it even makes crumbly little dust blots behind it.

You can also show that by using copycat with a zoroark desgised as dig or dug after a mon used a move that needs leaving the ground such as sunsteel strike This also works in SwSh

It's not just using Supersonic Skystrike, ANY Z-move whose backdrop has no ground (Hydro Vortex, Shattered Psyche, etc) will show Diglett/Dugtrio in that small clump of dirt, whether it's the user or the target.

For that matter, if you had a cheat device for Gameboy, you could teach them Fly and see how Stadium animates it. I don't recall trying this with a Diglett back then, but watching Snorlax flap its short little arms to fly was quite the sight.

@@lemonadogirl4082 Get therapy, degenerate.

Imagine there is just a community of ppl shiny hunting this thing legitimately

@@BlacktopJumpshot68 That would be so cool

It would still take 3.5+ years to complete the Pokemon channel game 8192 times, so you would have to purchase as many European copies of the game as possible (and then pay others to play the extra copies you purchased) to even remotely come close to gaining this Jirachi within a decent amount of time, and then complete ruby/sapphire/emerald once to logically go about this, and in reality, it's just not going to happen

I’m just curious, would saving the game before beating it, obtaining the jirachi and checking if it’s shiny, then reloading the save back to before you beat it then replaying pokemon channel and sending over another jirachi not work? I don’t really know anything about how save files work lol

@@LunaaLily yeah i think that's the strat, idek how pokemon channel saves data, can you reload the game with it not saving?

Yes it has! I am one of those people who have rnged it! I made it into a ribbon master!

What is RNG manipulation?

@@mikey4505 In short, computers are not truly random, as all they can do is follow the coding. Randomness is generated by numbers like date and time, button inputs etc. So one can manipulate the outcome to whatever you like if you know what 'random' numbers will be generated. This makes it possible to reset for perfect Pokémon without involving cheating devices.

Is someone got the BDSP Shiny Manaphy yet?

@@mikey4505 “I’m a blisey” makes pretty good videos on the subject matter, he shows how to do it step by step for any particular game or situation. Gen 4 or 5 is definitely the easiest to work with, or gen 3 with a dead battery. I could talk about this for ages though, so word dump: The process is generally like: find a way to manipulate the seed generated each time you play (like a Minecraft world’s seed) that determines the “course” of randomness, then find out how to “advance” the game’s randomness until it gets to the point where a shiny is generated, then initiate the encounter. This is usually done by starting the game at a very specific interval after adjusting the consoles clock, and then performing activities within the game such as scrolling through your Pokémon, making phone calls, or waiting, which will advance the rng. This works because of the general structure of pseudo rng In the games (which varies from game to game). But basically the game will cycle through a wheel of 2^32 “Pokémon ID” which determine the stats, gender and nature (and Pokémon you’re encountering in tall grass), and the seed will place you at a particular point on this wheel that is closer to the shiny. The game will churn forward on the wheel through random activities that “advance” the rng. This usually creates an entirely random outcome, especially because the player isn’t supposed to have knowledge of what seed they start on, how many “steps” forward they are, and how that correlates to shinies, but we do through external tools. It’s important to note that In order to know when shiny Pokémon are generated, it uses the “Pokémon ID” in tandem with your trainer ID. To get shinies, you need to know your trainer and secret ID’s, which can also be manipulated to get “perfect” shiny Pokémon. Surprisingly, this is all pretty easy with the tools that dedicated nerds have made which have reverse engineered everything. the process is as simple as searching for when a shiny occurs and then picking one of hundreds displayed. then you are given all of the information you need to execute to get to that seed and point in the cycle. For games like channel though, it is a little more confusing. This RNG has less documentation and you would have to ask people on forums or discord if KZfaq doesn’t have anything helpful.

maybbe they measured a block of ground dirt, set it off in a digglet transfer zone and measured again haha digglet does have that mole/worm vibe to it never comming off the ground

@@RadeticDaniel True. I think it could be off by a little, depending on how much dirt was removed as diglett left that particular patch, but it shouldn't be enough to alter the overall measurement.

@@RadeticDaniel Good thinking.

Diglett is a cylinder, meaning its volume is easy to calculate. Estimating its density to be around the density of a mole, you can get a result without putting it on a scale :D

What the hell is a mole? (aka. There are no moles in the pokemon universe)

Thank you, I was trying to remember how I saw this in Stadium before.

Aerial Ace is one of those 'lost in translation' things. The move name in Japanese is "Swallow Return" and is based on folklore of a legendary swordsman, Sasaki Kojirō, who had a technique called the "Swallow Cut." The move never actually requires flying, but reputedly resembles a swallow's tail in flight, so that's probably why it got the Flying-type designation.

Theory- under diglet IS the dirt

@@DoctorNovakaine Why would it be "lost in translation" if the games are made in Japan?

@@braziliantsar Because...the translation loses what the original idea was? I'm not sure I understand your objection here.

I had to watch it because same lol

“What do you do?” “Like for a living? I gradually inherit a vast shipping fortune. But with my free time, I play a GameBoy game over and over again as quickly and frequently as I can. I hate that game now.”

@@FollowMe4REP The urge for me to actually attempt this hunt is inexplicably strong :') I'm convincing myself not to do it purely by the fact that I like nicknaming all my important shinies and I'm pretty sure the Jirachi from Channel can't be nicknamed.

@@BeasEasel have you checked if you can rename it at the name rater? Sorry I didn't want to try and convince you to do it, I just thought 😂

@@MewDied151 Pretty sure you can't because it isn't given your OT when you receive it. And even if it's sent to SwSh, it's most likely counted as an event mon and those can't be renamed in SwSh :')

@@BeasEasel fair, as I said it was just a thought I had 😂👍

That would almost make sense if it had a Star Piece in R/S/E, but not so much for HG/SS, by which time it's mythical status was well defined. -And given that Jirachi has identical base stats to Mew and Celebi, the previous generations' mythical Pokémon, it seems likely that they knew exactly what they were planning to do with it when they designed it.-

​@@kevinr.9733 Your comment is a year old and I'm a little sorry, but designers have almost 0 say what happens with the mon as far as name, dex entry, and stats go -- they can make suggestions, but the teams are entirely separate. This is why Vikavolt LOOKS fast and its Dex entry SAYS its fast but its speed stat is ass

You're missing the point. It's gotta be that jirachi specifically

Appreciate the love!

The “good work” is exploiting kids into downloading an app responsible for people to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on? Right.

Me too!

Same i was so confused as to why that was there in a pokemon gane

As a new shiny hunter I’m definitely down

except in teh show brock picks up dugtrio and we see the mound around the pokemon is just attached

@@KikinCh1kin That's an "anime" moment if I've ever heard one, just because a character's eyes pop out of their head when they're surprised or they run in place before they fall doesn't mean that's how it works in real life

To explain further: The anime is not real, in the literal sense. It's based off of Ash/Red's journey. In RBY, you are playing the events of Ash's journey that the anime bases how the story went. In GSC, you are playing as a new person who theoretically is keeping up with the anime and Ash, because you run into Red at the end of the game. We know that the game starts off with your rival as "???", so if that were the case that your character didn't recognize Red from the anime, when you battle him he would also be ???. So the anime is not literally real, it's a rendition of the events that Ash went through.

I think it's pretty believable tbh. I those are the odds, with the sheer number of people who played the game it makes sense at least one person has to have caught it.

Back in the day I explicitly remember the colosseum way and boy was i excited at learning that jirachi wasn’t shiny locked bc it’s one of my most favorite Pokémon. But I still didn’t do the grind for it bc I thought waiting a few minutes for my Pokédex each time was too long apparently.

Nah it’s not shiny locked, but still a ridiculously long hunt.

@@Smfsableye luckily it can be lowered to ~1-2 minutes per encounter using save file corruption

@@Tlaloc1 Cool!

The bonus disc Shiny-Jirachi was actually found 2/3 times by now but it’s no comparison since it’s waaay faster than obtaining the Channel Jirachi, even though it still is probably the most annoying hunt ever besides Manaphy. Also it’s Shiny rate is glitched and around 1:7200 iirc

@@Arcryoshi yeah I think this is all correct

There are a couple moves that Diglett can use that will make it come out of the ground. The mound of dirt just comes with it. So I guess it's not really a special animation exception its just a funny model

Yeah, people have had a lot of fun with copycat zoroark using movers that require rising up in the air

Just wait for next weeks video it’s 100% gonna blow your mind!

@@BlueBoyPhin Good thing I’m already subbed! Looking forward to it dude

That’s a lot of dedication

I got waaaaaay more brandon! were only getting started!

@@BlueBoyPhin tell us more rocks you can stand on pls

That’s my fault man, I really didn’t mean for it to come across that way. I think what you do is super rad and I’ve even thought about reaching out to you to collaborate on something sometime, since I know you have tons of experience with this stuff. I didn’t mean to make it seem like I was shitting on RNG manip, i just honestly have 0 knowledge about it. I was purely making the video from my perspective as a shiny hunter and what I know, and didn’t feel knowledgeable enough of the subject To go into detail about it. That was wrong though. I’ll put your channel link in the description, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter if this doesn’t feel right to you still. Sorry about that man. Really wasn’t my intention
