0:36.1

I will say there are major spoilers this episode

0:40.1

ranking up from V to you. Before we get to the story beat, I wanted to bring up the shiny

0:48.4

Marip side mission. Did you do this? Of course I did this. Of course. Because you love amphros.

0:54.1

I love Amphros. I love shinies. This one was made for me. You want to explain the side mission? Yeah. So outside of Wild Zone 1, there is a girl who is like, oh, I think I saw a shiny in there. Could you maybe help me find it? And I took way too long finding this. I was like, are they really going to make a shiny hunt for this marip? Because I was looking all over, could not find it. I was like, you know, because there's two mariepe that spawn in there. Yeah. I'm like, I'm just going to check. I'd take them out. I'd come back later. Still two mariep. I'm, where, where is this? I don't know how Marip climbs the ladder, but it does. It does. And so it's hanging up on top of the roof. Spoilers, sorry. And she's so stoked that it's a shiny. And I'm like, oh, this is awesome. Yeah. I think they, this is the same thing they did in, um, not the same thing, but in Legends Archaeus, they give you the shiny pony taut. Yeah. Pretty early on too. Yeah. And I guess, spoiler for the end of the DLC of Scarlet and Violet, they give you a shiny blitzel. Right. If you do, they don't give it it to you kind of have to work pretty you have to work

2:13.6

yeah i don't think it like d values or like literally they did it in gold and silver with

2:19.5

Geridos.

2:20.5

I think I think the majority of people playing a Pokemon game will probably not see a shiny

2:26.3

unless they're actively looking for it.

2:29.5

And even if they're lucky enough to come across it, you're assuming they know.

2:33.2

If you're lucky trainers. You're assuming they know what they're looking for to come across it, you're assuming they know. If you're lucky trainers.

2:51.9

You're assuming they know what they're looking for at that point too. Yeah. There's been so many times where like, especially Legends Archaeus, where I just totally don't even hear a sparkle. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Like imagine how many people are playing with Sound off too and they're just like watching TV. Yeah. I mean, yeah, because growing up, I would play Pokemon games, no sound.

2:53.6

I'd have, like, a YouTube video on or something.

2:51.9
