With the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I took on the challenge of completing the Pokedex as fast as possible, and while I normally attempt this with only the newest Pokemon, I tried to complete the entire Pokedex of all 400 Pokemon. This is how it went. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

    Like this if I should do a Professor Oak’s Challenge for Scarlet and Violet 😅
  • @ekkofizix
    Dude, a professor oak challenge in this game is gonna be painful, because basically the entire dex is available before literally everything- yes, you dint even need Koraidon/Miraidon upgrades to get places
  • Everyone at the beginning of the game: wow hating Arven is gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience Everyone at the end of the game: wow hating the writers for putting Arven through SO much pain is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    Remember for your next attempt: Check your Pokédex for registry rewards - you get stones, balls and candies every ten entries

    I’m convinced that Applin is the reason encounter powers from food exist. I searched for one for just about as long as you before giving up and buying an “Encounter Power: Dragon” boosting food. Then suddenly it was if it was autumn and I was thrust into an apple orchard with all the Applin I started finding.
  • It’s still crazy that with all the new Pokémon introduced into Scarlet and Violet, we have officially past 1000 Pokémon in the National Dex going from #001 to #1010!
  • Mabosstiff flying in from offscreen and outright murdering a mechanical Hydreigon might be the best thing ever.
  • Finally got around to finishing my pokedex in about 80 in-game hours, and this is the first game I've done that so I think that's a pretty good time. Despite the performance and design flaws, this is surprisingly one of the most fun games in the series in years.
  • @oliverlie788
    actual talent to put 30 hours+ into a 30minute video that is still cohesive AND entertaining
  • Picking Quaxly actually gave you a massive advantage as it’s near impossible to find people who picked quaxly when trying to trade the other 2. Edit: Added context for those reading this in the future, my comment refers to pre Scarlet and Violet being on home, so you had to trade to get them.

    For anyone else watching, there are 2 guaranteed spawns of Applin on the ground so you don't have to bother with trees. Go to Serebii then "map"
  • The classroom performance scene is so weird because immediately after you're in the same class and their animations are fine. I really think the devs accidentally programmed the scene to think you're far away, thus reducing the framerate of their anims for optimization...even though you're right there.

    Taunt, healing pulse, false swipe, hypnosis Gallade is actually the best shiny hunter in pokemon too. Has been for a few gens now. Taunt stops stuff like memento and perish song, heal pulse stops self damaging moves and weather, and false swipe and hypnosis are self explanatory. Only thing he doesn't stop is explosion/self-destruct, so make sure to have a mon with damp. Also raise Kirlia to at least lvl 43 before evolving. Gallade doesn't learn heal pulse by level up and it isn't a tm. Kirlia learns it at 43 tho, so if you wait until then to evolve you can have it on your Gallade. And if you find a mon that has an ability that neutralizes other abilities like neutralizing gas and also explodes, like Galarian Weezing, buddy just use your master ball that boy's gonna blow
  • He got exreamly lucky at 14:51 when he is sliding down the mountain. His miraidon is actually shiny! This is very rare and only has a 1/4096 chance of happening when doing this gym test.
  • @CyndaWott
    Maushold actually has an evolution animation, yet it can randomly evolve in your party and box. weirdest evolution method to date
  • @NathanCotrill
    Main change I want in a patch is the ability to use quick balls outside of battle like PLA. Would make sense
  • @Snowstorm174
    I decided that I would finish my dex before watching this video; and now it’s complete! So I not only get the shiny charm, but also the enjoyment of a Johnstone video! Thank you for your service, good sir :D

    It almost certainly took you more than 32 hours. Small Ant discovered that the in game time is calculated through frames, not real world time. He had been playing for 16 hours and the game only logged 14.5 hours due to the drops in framerate. Will be very interesting to see if this can be done in less than 24 hours though!
